this time out of north carolina. this evening in north carolina, the republican majority in the legislature there made a surprise move against abortion rights in that state. this came out of nowhere. at the last minute north carolina republicans jammed a brand new previously unseen set of antiabortion measures into an existing bill about sharia law of all things. the surprise amendments tonight include requirements that are designed to shut down as many clinics as possible in north carolina. some advocates saying they would shut down all but one clinic in north carolina. they'd force clinics to meet new standards that are supposed to be impossible for them to meet like the restrictions republicans already passed in ohio and mississippi and north dakota and wisconsin. the ones they're trying to pass in texas right now. in north carolina, today, until this hearing began, democrats and the public had no idea what republicans intended to do. it was basically a legislative ambush. moments before the vote, democratic state

joining me from north carolina tonight, democratic north carolina state senator angela bryant, reverend william barber, president of the north carolina state conference of the naacp, who has been leading the moral monday protests, and representative larry hall, democratic leader in the north carolina house of representatives. thank you, all, for joining us. reverend, i want to begin with you. republicans of your state, the governor, governor mccrory, the republican leadership, right now if they're watching this broadcast, they're thinking to themselves, we got these bills signed, we pushed through our agenda. sure, we took hits in the press for us. sure, there are these people squawking on our lawn, but we win and they lose. why are they not right about that? >> they're on the wrong side of history. since we've been gathered these 13 moral mondays, less than one out of five north carolinians now agree with them. the numbers have plummeted. the government's numbers have plummeted. they have been labeled as immoral. they're not even republicans. these are not moderate republicans. they ha

the bill will suppress voting in north carolina. those are the words of the conservative winston-salem journal, a newspaper which endorsed republican governor pat mccrory, who intends to sign the bill passed by the republican legislature. in today's outraged editorial the "winston-salem journal" said "governor pat mccrory and legislative republicans began the 2013 session with a -- with talk of a voter identification law that would solve a voter fraud problem that doesn't exist and any pretense of sincerity of the integrity of elections died last week when lawmakers pass the a bill that rigs the voting system in their favor. the state board of elections found only one case of voter frayed in 2012. there has been, however, increased voter turnout recently made possible by a number of recent voting reforms. republicans didn't always like the results of the better turnout. they chose last week to turn back the clock and try to suppress as many poor, elderly, college-aged and minority voters as possible. this elections bill is a cynical

what is going to break that logic for the north carolina republican party? >> well, nothing is going to break that logic. i think they're in what you would commonly call a death spiral. that's the only option they have. the policies they have will not appeal to the working families. it will not appeal to those who want to be upwardly mobile. and they're destroying our education system. so the values they brought and the promises they've made are not being kept. they've only got a war right now on folks who want to vote and want to exercise the franchise and they plan to keep folks away from the polling place except for a select few. >> when you look at what's going on in texas with the battle there over an antiabortion bill, what happened in ohio with the budget there, and there's just been word that another bill that's working its way through north carolina in one branch of the statehouse is now going to get a vote, it looks like, in the senate possibly tonight. how much do the folks that you represent in your constituency, how alert are they to this onslau

as the measure that is before the north carolina senate currently. it also cuts out any type of i.d.s that are given by the states for people that utilityize state reourselves or state assistance. so when you look at this photo i.d., it's very clear that the photo i.d. is meant to disenfranchise voters and that is why we are seeing an outpour of voters in the state of north carolina across many demographics. when you look at the excellent work that is led by reverend barber in north carolina, that you see a multicultural across ages of people who are standing up and saying that enough is enough. when we look at this photo i.d. in north carolina, this proposal, you know, the state itself admitted that 316,000 rechted voters do not have the photo i.d. and need it to vote. 34% of them are african-americans. so you have to ask yourself what is the real intent? i think it's very clear that it's a disenfranchised voters in north carolina. >> what about the effort to restore the voting rights act? we know congress helped congress last week. what is the late

. >> in north carolina it's moral monday. >> outside north carolina's state capitol in raleigh -- >> this photo i.d. is very harsh. >> the focus will be a harsh new voter i.d. bill. >> it's one of the harshest photo i.d. bill we've seen. >> the moral monday movement is actually more popular. >> we can't solve this problem in a day or a week. >> we're going to fight them every day we can. >> it's going to take a very, very long time. >> first we want to go to london. >> we continue to follow the breaking news out of london. >> the eyes of the world are fixed -- >> as anticipation mounts for the arrival of the royal baby. >> see the baby. again with the baby. >> these are live pictures. >> who knew that a closed door could be so captivating? >> duchess catherine gave birth to a baby boy. >> parents of a healthy baby boy, who is now the third in line to the british throne. >> fasten your seat belts. we're going to see the baby. >>> i'm ari melber in for lawrence o'donnell. the republican congressional leadership has been strategically silent about president obama's friday speech on tray

this was the scene at the north carolina legislative building after the vote. the bill now heads to the desk of republican house speaker tom tillis who has announced a run for u.s. senate. if he wins the nomination his opponent will be democratic senator kay hagan who will join me in a moment. senator hagen's colleague in the senate marco rubio has agreed to be the lead sponsor of a senate bill that bans abortions 20 weeks after conception, according to the weekly standard, but a rubio adviser tells "the washington post" today, the pro life groups have asked him to introduce the bill in the senate he had not made a final decision before leaving on a family vacation this week. i expect an announcement when he gets back to d.c. next week. joining me kay hagan and msnbc's joy reid. senator hagan what would this bill mean to the women of north carolina if it becomes law? >> well if this is a health care bill about women i am glad any state legislature in raleigh is not my doctor. when i look at what the leadership and the general assembly is doing, under a sneak at

in north carolina, they are trying a new way to get people back to work. they're cutting off unemployment benefits. and jim axel rod has been looking into that. >> reporter: these days, sean's life is pretty simple. he's either at the gym or in front of his computer looking for a job. simple but not easy. so right now in your bank account, you have $170. >> yes. and i believe 93 cents in savings. >> reporter: that's all you've got. >> that's all i have to my name. reporter: he lost his job selling insurance six months ago. last week he got his final unemployment check. >> that was the cut-off date. that's d-day. no more. >> reporter: north carolina has the nation's fifth highest unemployment rate, 8.8%. when the recession hit, the state did not have enough money to cover all of its unemployment claims. so it borrowed $2.5 billion from the federal government to cover the shortfall. pat mccrory is north carolina's governor. >> it was a loan with interest. what i'm doing is i'm tearing up the credit card. i'm going, we're going to pay off our debt like every

carolina legislature and north carolina's republican governor, the message was, please do not make our elections look like florida's. in north carolina, which has gone crazy this year, republicans are making one more last-minute grab the silverware drawer and throw it in the air chaos move in the legislature. an old bill to change voter i.d. laws in state had been sitting dormant for about three months, but all of a sudden today the republicans in the legislature brought it back to lifetimes a million. they rewrote the old bill. they stuffed it full of a whole bunch of new stuff that never gets debated and never has hearings and are ramming this new bill through with basically no debate with just two days left in the legislative session. it would ban you from voting unless you could show i.d. you never had to show before. estimated 300,000 registered legal voters in north carolina will not have the kind of documentation you need in order to vote. more than a third of the people who do not have that documentation are african-american. more than half are registered as democratic party vo

now, though, after that supreme court decision, north carolina republicans are unconstrained. and so today, the single most important thing they're doing, this bill that north carolina republicans are ramming ahead at top speed, is being called the most draconian voter suppression effort in the country, at a time when we have had a lot of draconian voter suppression efforts by a lot of states, this is kind of the big kahuna. they're going after early voting. they're going after voter registration drives. for college students, not only will you not be able to use your college i.d. to allow you to vote, but if you vote where you go to college, the state wants to tax your parents as a penalty for you voting in your college town. the voter i.d. part specifically is called the most draconian voter i.d. law in the country. if your i.d. is from public assistance, you can't use that to vote. if you're because you're a public worker, work for a city or county, you can't use that i.d. to vote, your i.d. from the county. if it's from the college, you can't use that. essentially the idea

in north carolina -- this year we have seen before. i'll let you in. >> i agree, this is how movements develop. it's what i said before, what you do after the rally, after the galvanizing moment. i want to go back to the difference of top down, bottom up. there's examples of that on all sides of the aisle. there's attacks against tea party, and i haven't gotten my check from the coke brothers yet and neither has anyone i know of. organize america is a top down movement, grass down movement. we have to look at what these things are from both sides, embodiment from people. the education that takes it. >> this is worth talking about north carolina. our pope didn't write checks to folks, except that he wrote checks for campaigns. those campaigns took over that school board. that school board and strategy takes over state legislature. then our pope ends up with a position in government. so no one thinks they handed out checks to the protesters, but it does look like our pope bought the state of north carolina and that doesn't seem valid to

could this strategy not backfire on north carolina republicans? >> absolutely, because the numbers that you mentioned are not just democratic voters. and so yes, it will impact all of the voters in our state regardless of party, whether they're unaffiliated. every voter will be impacted. and particularly those as you said, vote early. a number of our citizens vote early. they like voting early. it is convenient. they like voting on sunday. it is convenient. and so this is going to have a tremendous impact. and i believe it is going to backfire. >> ari, you are i believe in texas, where the redistricting is somewhat shocking. and that is the first piece of legislation that the attorney general seems to be working on, which is to say the electoral maps that the committee has re-drawn. and i just want to quote some progress on that redistricting and re-rigging. they saw that the substantial changes were done to black representatives, cutting off offices from their strong fundraising districts. meanwhile, whites were protected, to include the country

that is just north carolina. we have been covering this state by state, as this has been happening this year. first in mississippi, then in north dakota, then in virginia, and almost everywhere where republicans have control. but if you stop looking at it per individual states, it is a pretty dramatic thing that is happening to american women right now. if instead of covering it state by state you put it all on the same map, look at what republicans have said just since the november elections. this covers the number of clinics where women can seek an abortion, in states where the republicans are in charge. this was before the blitz this year. and this was after. we have been covering this state by state, but we never before looked at the overall impact. this is what republican governors and republican legislators have done across the country. all the trap laws that use state regulations to shut down the clinics, these are the impacts. you don't let anybody tell you that governing doesn't matter. where republicans

what are the internal pressures in north carolina? and also are states like texas now the role model of what we saw happen there? now we have the snowballing of what has taken place in north carolina. >> i think we are seeing governors being held hostage to an extreme agenda, an extremely base that has been amplified through restricting and look. these governors, these politicians know that they are outside of the mainstream on these issues. that's why they are resorting to things like protecting themselves against accountability at the ballot box by suppressing voters in 2014. they know they can't win when they are on the wrong side of these issues and i think we are going to see that play out in all 36 governors races in 2014. >> great to have you here. thanks for your time. we will continue to watch these stories along with you. >> thanks. >>> we asked and you answered today's big question being about anthony weiner. the mayoral race here in new york city after he has plummeted in the polls. the question should be drop out of the r

maybe they get it in north carolina but they don't get it in some other place. it is a complicated difficult process and the fact that attorney general holder is doing this shows i think, the depth of his commitment and his seriousness about trying to sort this thing out. and my sense is he'll be quite successful but the measures of that success will be difficult because, as i said, it is going to go state by state region by region rather than having a relatively universal law. >> john: it's fascinating. katherine, we all know how deeply governor rick peri-cares about the constitution except for the 17th amendment and separation of church and state and i could go on. this isn't a case of it would get a different ruling if rick perry fights back and this winds up at the supreme court again because they're the ones who struck it down. so what's the hope here in a judicial sense? >> i think there's quite a bit of hope for this case. section 3c of the voting rights act, the bail-in provision as john correctly called it, is not the least bit unconstitutional. it has
