after state. the last republican legislation stood up for consumers. last year, the occ issued the true lender rule, overruling voters of both parties and giving a free pass to these abusive rent a bank schemes. the rule was rushed through by the active concontroller who cut -- comptroller who cut his teeth helping banks ruthlessly foreclose on homeowners and a deputy comptroller with deep ties to the payday lobby. republicans have selected the two of them to be witnesses at today's hearings. the occ and mr. brooks have argued the true lender rule is necessary so the agency has the necessary authority to oversee banks' relationships with lenders but the occ didn't lack any authority when it cracked down in the early 2000s. the occ also attempted to justify its efforts by claiming that it promotes innovation and provides certainty to the markets. the only certainty we need is the certainty that workers and their families will be protected from these exploitive interest rates. the last thing we shou

into the united states. and as we discussed a couple of weeks ago the secretary of state even expunged the nazi records of people like werner von brown and some of his fellow nazi scientists so that they could work in us intelligence. and verna von braun and his fellow his team of scientists played a key role in the development of the us space program. but refugees also informed our political life. think of henry kissinger madeleine albright the german political theorist hannah arendt they have played a key role but there are others they've played a cube role in shaping our political life. they've shaped our cultural life think of the actress, marlena dietrich. the hungarian composer bella bartok the austrian composer arnold stormberg and the russian french painter mark sagal but there are many many other refugees that we could highlight refugees have always played an important role in the political economic and cultural life of our nation. but public opinion polls tell us that americans were very concerned

he served the united states congress. they also served in the united states senate. and he and his wife. were the host during james buchanan's administration in washington, dc? when the south left and formed their own government, they invited jefferson davis. to become its first and only president. jefferson davis would accept that invitation and become the president of the confederate states of america. we're standing in the cell where jefferson davis was held at the conclusion of the american civil war. in 1965 jefferson davis received word from general robert e. lee the commander of the army of northern virginia that they no longer could hold the federal army back from attacking the city of richmond. with that news jefferson davis adjourned his cabinet and sent his family on the road for their protection. jefferson davis soon after that would follow he would finally catch up with his family right below right above the florida state line. it is here where a federal mounted unit was able to capture him and his family. jefferson davis was placed on a boat and moved b

every red state should invoke this clause because every red state is being impacted and the blue states reportedly don't care. when i say a revolution and has begun, they are allowing probably 2 million, that is who we apprehended, another million into this country. in 18 years of everyone of of them has two or three children, talking about millions and millions and millions of new voters and they will thank the democrats and by and for bringing them here. who do you think they are going to vote for? this is trying to take over our country without firing a shot. that is what is happening. >> laura: let me just ask you, is your concern of political concern, a national security concern, economic concern, health concern? crime and safety concern? is it all of it? or are you going right to the political because some people would say, this is all political for dan patrick. what do you think? >> no. let me tell you, but the constitution says an article four, section four. it guarantees everyone a republican form of government. what is a republican form of government? it's designed to -- or re

that law blocked states, any state in the country from banning abortion. it said american women have a right under the united states constitution to get an abortion if they want one. and that right can't be infringed even if politicians in individual states feel differently. after that ruling in 1973, the very first abortion clinic to open its doors in the great state of texas was a clinic in the city of mcallen. mcallen is a small city on the very southern tip of texas, right on the border of mexico. the first abortion clinic in texas opened there in 1973 and it served women in the rio grande valley in that part of south texas for decades. even as anti-abortion republicans started to cement their control over the government in texas and year after year they devised ever more creative and draconian ways to make abortion as hard and as dangerous to get as possible in texas, that clinic in mcallen kept going. and republicans really did keep passing more and more restrictive laws making it more impossible for clinics to stay open and making it more impossible

state of palestine. before the 67th general assembly in confronting the challenges that we are facing in the world and in the state of palestine. thank you. >> in the name of god the compassionate, your excellency, president of the united nations general assembly, your excellency, secretary-general of the united nations, excellencies , members of delegations, ladies and gentlemen. may the peace and mercy of god be upon you. this year marks the 73rd anniversary of the -- more than half of the palestinian people were uprooted from their land and disposed of their property. myself, my family and many others still possess the deeds to our land. these deeds are registered as part of the united nations records. here is that deed and many palestinians carry there's -- carry theirs as they still carry the keys to their houses to this day. nevertheless, we have not been able to recover our property due to israeli laws disregard international law and united nations resolutions which affirm the right of the palesti

after state. president bush stood up for consumers on this point. last year the occ issued the true lender rule, overruling rulers of both parties and giving a free pass to these abusive rent a bank schemes. the rule was rushed through through the acting controller who cut his teeth on helping banks ruthlessly foreclose on homeowners. the occ and mr. brooks argued the true lehner rule is necessary so that the agency has the necessary authority to oversee banks' relationships with pay day lenders. but that's just not true. the occ didn't lack any authority when it cracked down on rent a bank schemes in the early 2000s. the occ also attempted to justify its of the by claiming that it promotes innovation and provides certainty to the markets. the only certainty we need is the certainty that workers and their families will be protected from these exploitive interest rates. the last thing we should be doing is encouraging lenders to, in their words, innovate. we know that just means new ways to get awa

every red state is being impacted and blue states don't care. when i say a revolution has begun, they are allowing this year probably 2 million, that is we apprehended maybe another million into this country. at least in 18 years even if they don't become citizens before then, in 18 years if every of them have 2 or 3 children you are talking millions and millions and millions of new voters, they will thank the democrats and president biden for bringing them here and vote for them. this is trying to take over our country without firing a shot and if you look at - >> is your concern a political concern, national security concern, economics concern, health concern, crime and safety concern, is it all of that? or are you going right to the political? some people said this is all political for dan patrick. what do you think? >> what the constitution says in article 4 section 4 guarantees every state a republican form of government. what is a republican form of government? it is designed or defined as a government that focuses on citizens running thei

but not in the whole state. only in the states for largest counties. dallas, harris, tyrant and collin counties. three of which were run by president biden. this despite the fact that the republican appointed secretary of state who oversaw the 2020 election had previously said it was smooth and secure. now trump wants it reviewed anyway and so, sir, yes sir. exactly who ordered the election audits of these for texas counties does remain something of a mystery. the texas secretary of state's office had technically been vacant since me. the noose was announced in the two sentence press release from the secretary of state's office. does the office decide? what part of the office? the largest county in the state of texas is harris county, it's home to houston. that county elections administrator tool that houston chronicle she was surprised by the announcement. saying she had spoken with staff from the secretary of state's office just hours earlier and nobody mentioned anything about this. nevertheless, today, the chief executive of harris county just lina

the two countries, deny states -- the united states and korea, value free markets, value open competition, have values of democracy. congresswoman kim touched on human rights and intellectual property. freedom of navigation, freedom of movement. those are all values that are very important to not just the united states, but also to korea and many other countries in the region. i do not think korea wants to open more relationships. i think they want to develop mature democracy and become one of the leading economies in the world. they want to play a role in the coalition as it matures, particularly around the covid vaccination development. i am very conscience of the line that korea has to navigate, but you also have to look at the korean public and look at bowling. china polls worse than japan right now and i think there is a real angst among the korean population towards china that certainly goes back to the heavy-handed approach they had when we deployed batteries for self-defense purposes. you have seen what happens, south korea's trying to develop its own defense capabilities for its

state by state, making their own decisions. i think this is the beginning of a trend, and i'm going to stand with women all across this nation using my platform, my voice, to let them know that they can come to new york. but other than i will help, them all over the country who are pro-choice, i'm going to use my energy and resources to make sure that that happens as well. that is the only thing that is going to. change we have to wipe out men like governor abbott, and what is going on in places like georgia, and places like florida, of all places, and that's just to get to the whole vaccine issue. it's all -- that's going on in these places and these people are suffering. and i can't stand it any longer. we have to take a strong position against this. and call it out whenever we see. it >> i don't know what your perspective on this was when you were a member of the house representative, and now it's governor, but when i was working as the senate, and whenever we were looking for allies in the legislation, i always found that n

our support for an dmnt jewish state is unequivocal, but incontinue to believe that a two-state solution is the best way to ensure israel's future as a jewish democratic state, living in peace alongside a viable democratic and sovereign palestinian state. we're a long way from that goal at this moment, but we must never allow ourselves to give up on the possibility of progress. we cannot give up on solving raging civil conflicts, including in ethiopia and yemen, where fighting between warring partners is driving famine, horrific violence, human rights violations against civilians, including unconscionable use of rape as a weapon of war. we will continue to work with international community to press for peace and bring an end to this suffering. as we pursue diplomacy across the board, the united states will champion the democratic values to go to the very heart of who we are as a nation and a people. freedom, equality, opportunity, and a belief in the universal rights of all people. it's stamped into our dna as a nation and critically, it's stamped into the dna of this institution the uni

this is an industry the united states, states needs wars to fight. and if it doesn't have wars, then the people that are working for these enormous security contracting companies are not making the millions and billions that they count on and they over to their shareholders. and so they need a new conflict, and that's why this war on terror might leave afghanistan, although we still know there are people operating there, but it's going other places. it is so rare, i guess when we're doing a show where we're asking you to analyze an issue, a situation for everybody to pretty much come the end of it and just say, well, that was a disaster. it's very rare to have that that, that agreement. i want to bring in another voice. this is mr. far. i'm was just thought if he, if he was looking for silver lining, i think he may kind of have a just a little bit. i don't know. they have a listen. the legacy of the global war on terror has complicated and ultimately made for a much more decentralized extremist landscape. we are no longer living in the same world tha

i am honored to welcome and admired states person and longtime trend of the united states, the former prime minister of great britain teresa may. together we will discuss the outcome of joe biden's first trip to europe as president of the united states and what people on both sides of the atlantic expect going forward. as we know president biden's trip began with a visit to the uk but he then transitioned to a meeting of the g-7, the first in person gathering in years due to covid and one of the major discussions being the people's republic of china. president biden attended a summit in brussels where china was once again on the agenda as well as other matters such as russian aggression in europe and the alliances withdrawal from afghanistan. last week president biden met with vladimir putin of russia and the united states there's been discussion on how effective this meeting was in conveying a convincing message that the united states is prepared to counter russian malign activities. it was an agenda with a lot of tough issues on the table from cyberspace to the rise of china in the

, the various states drew griffin said 18 states, 31 different laws passed around the country, these laws are intended to try to make it possible for state legislators to overturn the correct results of a future election and that's where the real threat is. >> and we've talked about that, david. that is your big concern when you look at these laws across the country and these states. it's the fact that politicians can then step in, have the power to step in and potentially and in worst casscenario overturn a valid result and you have election workers receiving death threats. they are receiving -- i mean, you have this lady in milwaukee drew talked to that has been threatened more than 150 times just doing her job. the same situation in morocco pa county, arizona. they get threats every day. there was this study survey that found one of third of election officials feel unsafe because of their job. your nonprofit launched a fund to help election workers. tell us about this. >> you see things like the recent texas law that allows partisan hyper partisan poll watchers to roam anywhere in

state is unequivocal. i continue to believe that a two-state solution is the best way to ensure israel's future as a jewish democratic state, living in peace alongside of viable sovereign and democratic palestinian state. we are a long way from that goal at this moment. but we must never allow ourselves to give up on the possibility of progress. we cannot give up on solving raging civil conflicts, including in ethiopia and yemen. we are fighting between warring parties is driving famine, horrific violence, human rights violations against civilians, including unconscionable use of rape as a weapon of war. we'll continue to work with international community to press for peace and bring an end to this suffering. as we pursue diplomacy across the board, the united states will champion the democratic values that go to the very heart of who we are as a nation and people. freedom, equality, opportunity, and a belief in the universal rights of all people. it's stamped into our d.n.a. as a nation, and critically it

just remember talking about states that used to pay from the state conference for people of color to go to school somewhere else and then they reinforce that to pay a stipend to get that law degree that you want. >> i have to say we actually have the quotation of the martin luther king quotation about the greatest injustices being lack of access to healthcare so when people come in including staff, they will remind us that now why of our work in the connection and the broader fight. you have to leave at 10:30 a.m. i want to make sure that we are getting some questions from our audience. so first from politico says that she's asking if you are hearing of pressure to cut back on the top line number of the reconciliation bill comes down would you be open to a later start date or other changes to trim the cost? >> yes. i am open to anything. i believe we have to take into consideration the whole welfare retirement. a lot of things of the civil rights act in 1964 we get the civil rights act in the civil rights act did talk about discrimination in employment of the private sector not until

in the 14th amendment, section 4 states, the validity of the public debt of the united states, authorized by law, shall not be questioned. this is not about future spending. some would like to give the impression, we're just doing this -- no, this is about paying bills already incurred, including the social security recipients, again, veterans, millions who have benefited from the bipartisan covid relief legislation passed last december. as i said before, congress is ironclad in its commitment to never letting the full faith of the credit of the united states come under threat, a commitment that has long been bipartisan. indeed, our approach in the c.r. for the debt limit is modeled after legislation proposed by g.o.p. senators in recent years. since 2011, each of the seven times the debt limit has been needed to be addressed, congress has done so on a bipartisan basis, including three times during the trump administration, when the dut -- during the -- when it rose by $7.8 trillion. again, much of that incurred in terms of the full -- honoring our commitment with covid. a very big chunk

was that we know that this evacuation was conducted by the state department, the secretary of state and, yet, we didn't have the military experience gave advice but didn't stand their ground. so the entire withdrawal was a disaster. it was a debacle. there are americans left behind. there are afghanistan interpreters left behind. and, unfortunately, 13 u.s. service members gave their lives because they conducted an incompetent, inept operation of withdrawal. todd: does anyone come out looking good in this blame game. >> no one comes out looking good. our generals don't come out looking good because they should have pushed back against the state department and presidency. so they don't come out looking good. we lost bagram air base which we need in order to have counter-terrorism in that region. and now we don't have eyes on iran or china or russia. americans lost their lives. americans are still over there. so, on every level on humanitarian level on a military level, on a counter-terrorism level there was a tremendous failure. jillian: let's talk about this for a second dhs secretary a

the idea of states rights, the states have certain rights. remember, who are the people who vote states rights before? for what purpose? before the war. abby? make sure the mic is close to you so that everyone can hear your intelligent questions and responses. >> before the civil war, it was southern politicians but that was fundamentally to do with slavery. so some politicians, like in the secession of south carolina, the evoke states rights in term of sovereignty between states. but now the federal government has won. that idea cannot stand anymore. now they're having to be reintroduced. so slavery is abolished. there's no slavery between the states. the federal government has the precedent. >> very good. that's exactly why states rights is somewhat discredited. the idea, it had been used to defense labor by southern states. they didn't want the government to interfere. it was also used to secede from the union. it was a right of the state to secede from the union in order to protect slavery. states rights is really a connected with the ins

secretary of state antony blinken was sworn in as the united states secretary of state on january 26th, 2021. and as i mentioned in my opening statement, this will be the third time secretary blinken testified before this committee, and we are grateful for his appearance before us today. i'll now recognize the witness for his testimony, which i understand will be a little longer than five minutes, but being he's going to be here for all of our questions, i think it's important for his statement to be heard in its entirety. secretary blinken, i now recognize you. >> mr. chairman, thank you very much. and mr. chairman, ranking member mccaul, thank you for today. i welcome this opportunity to discuss our policy on afghanistan, including where we ar and where we're going in the weeks and months ahead. for 20 years, congress has conducted oversight and provided funding for the mission in afghanistan. i know from my own time as a staff member for then senator biden how invaluable a partner congress is. as i said when i was nominated, i believe strongly in congress' traditional role as a part

to talk about your state. we hope the case rate continues to go down and that the death rate follows and also goes down. thank you so much for joining us today. >> thanks for having me on, jake. >>> the coming week is critical for the biden legislative agenda. house progressives are warning they could sink a major bill. how will democratic leadership respond? we'll ask democratic whip jim clyburn next. or bring a friend and you both get a month for $5. that delicious omelet was microwaved? get outta here. everybody's a skeptic. paper money. it's the future! get outta here. i'm leaving with my gold. it's not crazy. help me, mother. it's an omelet. just crack an egg. my dermatologist was raving about pure retinol. it's amazing. new revitalift night serum with pure retinol our most potent retinol. in a clinical test, 100% of women showed reduction of wrinkles, even deep ones. new revitalift night serum with pure retinol from l'oréal paris. ♪ energy is everywhere... even in a little seedling. which, when turned

this predates the united states. john locke in one of the most significant document i religious freedom considering toleration makes the case for white catholics shouldn't extend a religious freedom. their allegiance to what he calls a foreign prince if you get a pope could tell them what to do. americans have voted as tribes, even today if they see a certain letter next to candidacy on the ballot they might not know a thing about him or her but they will vote for him or her. but there's always been this long-standing tension of people voting together if they are indeed influenced by a religious leader. that was certainly the case with joseph smith. the block voting and i will see people in illinois loved it when the mormons voted their way as a block. when they didn't, they called file. this doesn't go away. look at the 20 century when john f. kennedy ran in 1960 he gives of his famous speech, essentially trying to assuage fears that he would be come take orders from the pope as president. mitt romney had to do this

yes, i'm at the state farm. it could couldn't be bothered to come down here and see congress are right. that's great. this administration's bungle pull out from afghanistan just may be the worst foreign affairs disaster in american history. and that's a failure on you either to plan or you had a horrible plan, simply put, i do not wish you. i'm not simply, you know what you i don't wish to hear your installation of intelligence. when you stare it front of the camera and your and your lives of the for your lives, all the us deadline to quit afghan is done expired last month, bringing america's longest civil war to close, the pentagon withdrew the taliban rapidly, took out of a sparking chaos with thousands of afghans trying to flee the country throughout the violent ministration insisted things were going fine, but the white house is finding it harder to maintain that narrative about the senior correspondent. i guess the report next from cobbled it was largely a partisan spectacle with republicans attempting to s

and the will of individual states in states like texas have long been a thorn in the side of washington, which just wants to ruin peace and impose its agenda without being questioned all the time. but the pesky taxes keep opposing federal initiatives. latest case in point, texas is now suing the equal employment opportunity commission, which insist that l g, b. c. workers should be allowed to dress, however they want and use whatever bathrooms they want. if the, by the ministration thinks they can for states to comply with their political agenda, my office will fight against the radical attempt of social change. these backdoor attempts to force businesses including the state of texas to align with their beliefs unacceptable. according to texas, attorney general can paxton the federal initiative, cannot be applied in texas because apparently, as he says it is based on a misinterpretation of current legislation. but while all those debates go on regular people and businesses, phil don't know which guidelines to follow or what the repercussions could be for following either of them. and if

i don't know which state is unique. and what has happened to soviet union will not necessarily happen to the united states. even though, if it's all happening to the united states, it's not necessarily happened the same way as it has happened to the soviet union. that the united states of america is a nuclear superpower. and do we cannot before that they can sequences of the internal american changes and internal contradictions. i'm not going to represent their immortal chinese for the rest of humanity. now i agree with you that day. each historic path is unique, but i still think that historic parallels could be valuable because it was the collapse with the soviet union in 1991, which ultimately served the united states of this unprecedented opportunity of trying to be exceptional nation. not just, i'm exceptional nation, but be exceptional nation, the shining cd on the hill. can we blame them for not leaving after these godly, divine image when we the russians gave up on our cells so desperately at that time? well, i

sovereignty of the united states of america colluding the states in the united states of america. and the biden administration has abandoned any pretension of securing the sovereignty of either texas or the united states by having these open border policies that you so well articulated. they have created a magnet that led to these massive groups of ray sans as well as the other groups that are coming here for one reason, and that's because they have sent a message and a signal to the entire world that they are not going to secure the border, they're going to allow them across. you talk to secretary mayorkas, repeatedly asking him why they did not stop the haitians from coming across the border in the first place are. chris, everyone knew, including the biden administration, the haitians had gathered on the mexican side of the border before they crossed, and the biden administration did nothing to stop those haitians who had gathered en masse in mexico coming across the border. chris: so, governor, let me ask you about what you're trying to do. you have set up what you call operati

how do we make sure that every citizen has accessible or one state after state after state 18 laws and 30 law so. far are designed to prevent targeted groups from being able to vote. how do we do that? well maybe it's a carve out from the filibuster similar to these previous carve out. and maybe it's restoring the filibuster to one that creates a balance. and by balance, what i mean is something like the talking filibuster. which says that there were no majority, the minority will have time to pursue amendments, make sure the public will see the, bill that they'll see the bill. that they'll see compromises. but there also will be the tyranny of the minority that we have right now. with the minority exercises a veto. that is a profound corruption of the democratic process that has to end. >> so the sequence seems to be senate schumer is already saying he's scheduling this bill to come up for vote in the senate as early as next week. you could possibly be at the end of this week or possibly next. week but it seems that if that fails, if that fails to get the 60 votes, if joe manchin fail

the state actors have to want to do it. and so to me and the problem is one of fred put it in simple terms. you can use a fancy word like parochialism or just selfishness. i mean, if kobe 19, if this crisis that really does affect everyone, if that can't bring us altogether, i think we're just as a fundamental problem of selfishness in the house, in the countries that have the vaccines that have the wealth. sure, in the united states, there are millions of people who want to do good and who are doing good. and united states is, you know, stepping up in providing, you know, billions of dollars to, to deliver vaccines around the world. but it's not enough. and we've got, you know, as, as the head of the rural health organization, mr. gabriella said many times in the united states and other countries shouldn't be moving toward booster shots. so, 3rd, vaccines for the pfizer and madana vaccines, or pfizer biotech. before we get, you know, do much better in africa where i think only 2 percent of the population has been vaccinate

the secretary of state has been removed as a voting member of the state election board. >> basically tossing the secretary of state aside for a political person. >> exactly. >> reporter: in arizona, republican legislators have made their power grab blatant, passing a law that strips some election oversight powers from the arizona secretary of state, currently a democrat and gives them to the arizona attorney general currently a republican. it expires in less than two years, making sure it's a republican who oversees any disputes in the important midterm elections. gates says his party's big lie about vote fraud is getting way out of hand. >> i'm worried about the people who look at this now, they have listened to their leaders, republican leaders, and they are now convinced that our system is corrupt. that there's this large conspiracy and we have yet to see many republicans speak out, and tell people, no, the election was fair. it's time to move on. enough is enough. >> in texas, which trump won, republican legislators pass add law that bans drive through and 24-hour voting favored

you can travel to the states. this is really for all those people wanting to visit friends and family but also it has been a benefit of a transit lead. the fact that americans can travel to europe now and get back on a plane and get back to the united states and no quarantine, it felt a little bit unfair and fairly logical. anna, thank you so much for uni joining us. >>> idaho is coping for a rapidly covid crisis. the state is putting pressure on hospital and neighboring washington state and health officials say vaccine misinformation is largely to blame. cnn's dan simon broke to the brother of a nurse who died of covid after refusing to get vaccinated. >> he works as a truck driver. >> reporter: their mother died last week from covid-19. >> that is they were giving her the sedation, her heart just let go. >> reporter: natalie was only 46. tell me what she did for a living? >> registered nourse and she di home healthcare. she went around and helped people. >> reporter: which made her firm vaccination stance more p

they can fight that out state by state. amy klobuchar says it's simple. unless we get rid of the filibuster, we're going to sit around admiring a lot of problems and sending a lot of tweets. instead, we should get something done. saying democrats can complain about what's happening in texas and arizona and florida or amend the filibuster rules and pass national laws saying you can't do that. the likelihood? >> pretty much zero. leading indicators of seven or eight democrats who don't want to see the filibuster broken. the democrats have to win more senate races to break the filibuster whether through a rules change, on their own. they just can't -- v this narrow field where they're only winning in states where joe biden or barack obama won elections. they need to win in other places to build up enough seats. 53, 54, 55 where they can lose a joe manchin on a filibuster vote. >> the list of the issues will be front and center in all the races around the country next year. >>> ahead for us, it's coming down. the largest remaining confederate statue in the co

the state of the moral universe as robert e. lee finally leaves the old confederate capital. >>> then just what is the justice department planning to do to stop an out of control government in texas? >> texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets of texas. >>> plus, as america's worst covid outbreak grows, new reporting on the right-wing backlash that led tennessee to curb its own vaccination efforts. >> that's peer pressure applied by the state of tennessee. personally i think it's reprehensible that we would do that to our youth in tennessee. >> and a stunning new biden plan for america to get half its energy from the sun by the year 2050, when "all in" starts right now. >>> good evening from new york, i'm chris hayes. we all lenders the story of the civil war in school, at least the basics of it. slavery and the rights and status of enslaved people threw america into a civil war from 1861 to 1865. the north, the union, eventually won. the south, the confederate states that had secede

you see this being repeated in state after state with the package of these bills in state after state, something we need to recognize and we all need to fight. >> the refrain from republicans that you heard is that these new voting laws make it quote easy to vote but hard to cheat. what impact do you think these laws that are now in place in places like georgia will have on voters, particularly voters of color? >> they will have a disproportionately negative impact on people of color. people need to understand they want to make it more difficult for people that are not like minded voters. so if you live in the suburbs, if you are a young person, you're targeted, as well. they're coming from your vote, as well. you know, the measures that they have put in place are nakedly partisan. you know, they talk about not allowing people in texas for instance to vote on the 24-hour basis when it was done in the past election without any indication of fraud. they want to make it more difficult to use mail to cast vote and drop off your vote at the ballot boxes. all of these are decybesigned t kee

to another state like new york. this new york clinic, for example, reports that 48% of its patients are from out of the state. >> from the beginning, pro-abortionist forces have seen this issue as a question of freedom of an individual's choice. the freedom to have an abortion is now legal in every state. the basic legal fight is in effect over. >> basic fight is, in effect, over. well, it was over. it was over. from then, 1973, until yesterday. it's amazing to see though. that is nbc reporter betty rollin, almost having her front page top of the broadcast story kicked entirely out of "nightly news" because the day that roe vs. wade was decided was also a day that included the shocking death of former president lyndon johnson at age 64 and also maybe the end of the vietnam war with the paris peace talks and also day three of a new presidency and also everything else. i mean, the news gods sometimes do this. i can empathize because now 48 years down the road we get the other book end on that shelf. right? now we get

will it be just stated in the office? i think that would have made a lot of difference to show leadership. it was clear that biden by then had picked up with trumpeted much, much earlier that gunny did not exhibit any semblance of leadership. he was or that could emission probably was a smart guy. but in terms of starting leadership, trump wanted him replaced ultimately. and, and for buying them to suggest look, just you know, just do something, show some appearance, whether or not it's true of leadership and it's pathetic. and this is what we were dealing with. and he was the 1st to run. he got on a plane and took tens of millions of dollars and he's over in the u. e. spending it now over. interesting to see how if anything, followed up with that. cuz like i said, that's, i think it's really odd for one leader of one country, china, and you don't tell the truth about it, but at least it look like it's really well when it's not it, it's sent a bad signal to the troops. if our president is leaving and the fact too that the

and the will of individual states. in states like texas have long been a thorn in the side of washington, which just wants to ruin peace and impose its agenda without being questioned all the time. but the pesky jacksons keep posing federal initiatives. latest case in point, texas is now suing the equal employment opportunity commission, which insist that l g, b. c. workers should be allowed to dress, however they want and use whatever bathrooms they want. its abiding ministration thinks they can for states to comply with their political agenda. my office will fight against the radical attempt of social change. these backdoor attempts to force businesses including the state of texas to align with their beliefs unacceptable. according to texas, attorney general can paxton the federal initiative, cannot be applied in texas because apparently, as he says it is based on a misinterpretation of current legislation. but while all those debates go on regular people and businesses, phil don't know which guidelines to follow or

states. let's take you to some live pictures now from new york, where commemorations are just beginning to get underway in a moment to for them to nearly 3000 people who died in those attacks. on september 11th, this is a scene in new york at ground 0, where the 1st moria will take place at the site where the world trade centers, twin towers. one stood. they collapsed after being hit by 2, hijacked passenger jets. they will also be further ceremonies and shanks, full pennsylvania, and also at the pentagon where 2 other hijacked planes crashed. president biden is among those attending all the ceremonies today, but he is not expected to speak. well, let's speak to our white house correspondent, kimberly how could she's in new york where those commemorations will begin in the next half hour or so. kimberly, can you talk us through what to expect this morning? it feels like the focus is very much on the people that were lost and, and their families. absolutely. that will be the focus, the nearly

it works in most states. the way it works in every state. it's the system of private enforcement, private attorneys general it's called and what this difficulty it's created is that it's unclear who the abortion provider should sue. usually you just sue the state government and the court issues an injunction on state government don't enforce the law. with no single enforcer of the law, there is this procedural problem that abortion providers have that it is unclear who they're supposed to sue. that's what's creating this legal tangle separate from the issue about the abortion law but the effect is that this law is now in effect and roe v. wade essentially does not exist in the state of texas and probably more in states to come. >> there is so much about this that's fascinating but this last sentence from you, jeff, people need to understand. as of now roe versus wade overturned isn't the right word but up ended i think is. >> exactly right. january 23rd, 1973, the day of roe v. wade was the last time a state

in the end, it's not about red states or blue states, a drought or a fire doesn't see a profit it doesn't give a damn for which party you belong to. disasters are not going to stop. that's the nature of the climate trail but we know what we have to do. we just have to summon the courage and creativity to do it. yes we face a crisis. but it is with the unprecedented opportunity to create good jobs and industries of the future to save the planet. ladies and gentlemen, we can do this. this is the united states of america. there's never been a problem we have face-to-face that are mine to do it. i mean that literally. literally have we never failed to meet an objective that we have set. what is happening now with industry, government, unions, pe around the country, is that we set a goal and it is achieved. i promise you come it will create great economic growth, reduce inflation and put people in a place where those beautiful children will never have to worry about what we are worried about right now. thank you. remember there is not a damn thing we are unable to do in america when we come to

sanctioned, the order from the governor was get out of the state or you will be exterminated. joseph smith traveled to dc and they realized we had all this land taken from us as members of the religious community that were killed, raped, abused. something needed to be done. they prepared a petition to congress and he goes to meet with martin van buren hoping to get van buren to take the side to sway with congress and van buren doesn't demonstrate any prejudice for their beliefs. it's pure political calculation. he says your cause is just if i can do nothing for you if i can help you i'm going to lose because i will lose the state of missouri. so it's martin van buren recognizes the injustices and says we are powerless to help you and the united states senate has a hearing in the judiciary committee considering should they get reparations were not they are saying does the federal government have any role to play and this is one of the reasons i wrote the book is because it is like a forgotten part of the constitutional history, the historical amnesia. the states prior to the 14

the united states congress can fix this. the women's health protection act has been introduced in every congress since 2013. and rightow the house of representatives has enough votes to pass it. 48 senators are on it in the senate. it is time to say to congress the court has let us down, you need to step in. the women's health protection act. that is what needs to be on the list of everyone who supports abortion rights in this country because we can fix this. amy: we don't hear nermeen. let me ask a question and we will get hermic going. can you talk about the role of chief justice robts? >> it was so important that chief justice to join the three other liberal justices in the dissent. he was clear the status quo should be maintained, that tas ' law should not go into effect while legal issues are being worked out. heid not go as far as the other justicesho talk about how clearly unconstitutional this law is, but he was very clear the right thg to do here is to keep the law from going intoffect while legal goal -- legal batt

in washington state, the weekly vaccination rate jumped 34% after the state announced vaccination requirements for state employees, teachers, and school staff, health-care workers, and colleges and universities. businesses are seeing strong results. august 3, when tyson foods announced its employees would need to be vaccinated no later than november 1, only 45% of its workforce had gotten the shot. today that number stands at 72%. that is a 60% increase in less than one month. notably, the job postings that require vaccinations are up 90% according to indeed.com. the bottom line -- vaccination requirements work. they drive up vaccination rates and we need more as this is an other employers, including health care systems, school district, colleges and universities to step up and do their part and pandemic faster. -- and the pandemic faster. we need to pour individuals to -- we need more individuals to step up, too. as we prepare for labor day weekend, it is critical that being vaccinated is part of their preholiday checklist. getting vaccinated is free. it is easy and convenient. it is safe and

extreme weather in the united states cost the united states of america a total of 99 billion. and this year, we are unfortunately going to break that record. it's a devastating loss to the economy and for so many communities. we failed to curb pollution from smokestacks and tailpipes and continue to use fossil fuels as we do. we increase the risks that firefighters face. we invest in resilience and it saves up to six dollars down the road when the next fire doesn't spread as widely and those investments also save lives. when i think about climate change, i think about not the cost, but about good paying jobs that it will create. i also think about the jobs we are losing, due to impacts in the supply change and industries because we haven't acted boldly enough. we have to build back. you heard me say it again 100 times, not just build back but build back better, as one nation. we've got to do it together. we will get through this together, we just have to keep the faith. folks, we have the bipartisan infrastructure bill that's been passed through this bipartisan, and i believe

secretary of state anthony james lincoln was sworn in as the united states secretary of state. antony blinken. this will be the third time secretary lincoln testifies before the committee and we are grateful for his appearance before us today. i will now recognize the witness for his testimony which i understand will be longer than s going to be here for all of our questions, i think it's important for his statements to be heard in its entirety. secretary blinken, i now recognize you. >> mr. chairman, thank you very much. mr. chairman, ranking member mccall, thank you for today. i welcome this opportunity to discuss our in afghanistan including where we are and where we are going in the weeks and months ahead. for 20 years, congress has conducted oversight and provided funding for the mission in afghanistan. i know from my own time as a staff member for then senator biden how invaluable it is. as i said when i was nominated, i believe strongly that congress is a traditional role and partner in policymaking. i'm committed to working with you on the path forward in afghanistan an

the secretary of state has been removed as a voting member of the state election board. >> basically tossing the secretary of state aside for a political person? >> exactly. >> reporter: in arizona, republican legislators have made their power grab blatant. passing a law that strips some election oversight powers from the arizona secretary of state currently a democrat and gives them to the arizona attorney general currently a republican. it expires in less than two years making sure it is a republican who oversees any disputes in the important midterm elections. gates said his party's big lie about vote fraud is getting way out of hand. >> i'm worried about the people who look at this now, they've listened to their leaders, their republican leaders and they're now convinced that our system is corrupt, that there is some large conspiracy and we've yet to see many republicans speak out and tell people, no, the election was fair and it is time to move on and enough is enough. >> reporter: in texas, which trump won, republican legislators passed a law that bans drive-thru and 24-hour vo

washington state college or former us assistant secretary of state. he explains the circumstances under which the taliban and the u. s. could work together. well, there is a narrow, common interest fighting the islamic state and the horse on a lot depends on what the taliban have learned. in 20 years. outside of power of the united states had almost nothing in common with them as late as 2001. they have successfully worked together on this evacuation. but now the united states will look, for example of to taliban pledges. for people who want to leave, will they be able to leave? what will happen to women and girls in the country? you know, so i think as the taller bon secures the country, if they secure the country, you know, what kind of government will they form, how inclusive will that be? i think it's going to take some time, probably a month for the united states to assess what kind of relationship it thinks it can have with it's all about in the future. i do think the taller bond is going is discovering already that it is easier to run an insurg

mean, california is a very a dark blue state. i'm not sure that, you states in the south or in the northeast are really going to look at this and say, you know, you know, i think they're going to say this is california. and regardless of what situation and circumstances. you know, if you're a democrat running, you're going to have the upper but i think locally here it could have some very interesting implications perhaps in the short term and long term. i'm looking forward to what happens in 2022 because, you know, these problems have gone unaddressed for some time. there was a rise in crime of this movement to defund police. the the the state's urging homeless population. i mean, just a couple of years ago. it was a statistic that showed nearly half the nation's homeless population. it's right here in the state of california. nothing is really being done to address that. back to it getting worse by the day. so, you know, conditions continuing to get worse. you know, things are only being what i can see by the current regime in p
