>> he's going to talk about how he has forgiven 70 times 7 and he still talks to me. and katty kay, by the way, next week we're going to be throwing a banquet in your honor. final thoughts. >> i'm heading to chicago because my daughter is defending her astro physics ph.d. thesis. >> there's a woman who knows her value. >> there's a woman who knows her value, yeah. so i'm a proud mommy tomorrow. >> what's the line -- >> mic drop. >> -- from doc hollywood? i was thinking about being an astro physicist, except i'm not that good in science. >> it scares me. that's what i'll have bad dreams about tonight, having to -- >> we're going to -- that does it for us this morning. >> what are we going to do? >> i'm trying to decide if we're going to have heilemann back tomorrow. >> of course we are. everybody come back tomorrow. >> it's a lot.

>> we started out this whole thing in a really friendly place. you're very hostile. >> you were a little hostile in the beginning. >> i was not. >> how does that make you feel? >> that does it for us this morning, ana cabrera picks up the coverage. thank you, ana. >> thank you, guys. lelgs get right to the news. right now on "ana cabrera reports," chaos and confusion in arizona as republicans block a bid to repeal a revived 1864 ban on nearly all abortions in that state. what comes next politically and the impact as we talk to a doctor on the front lines? plus, the seismic charge that man sent through the 2024 race. how donald trump's shifting stance on abortion may be coming back to bite him. also ahead, republican rift, the growing threat to house speakers that's further upending an already volatile congress. and later, denied again, three attempts, three failures to delay trump's hush money trial. is he almost out of options?

♪♪ thanks so much for joining us. i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york. we begin with the escalating fight over abortion rights in arizona, and new chaos at arizona's state house after republicans blocked efforts to repeal a newly revived 1864 law criminalizing abortion. >> i move that we recess. >> you've heard the secondary motion. i heard a second. >> second. >> all in favor of that motion vote aye. >> aye. >> all opposed vote no, ayes have it. >> shame on you! shame on you! shame on you! hold the vote! hold the vote! hold the vote! >> let's bring in nbc's dana griffin in scottsdale, arizona,

along with claire mccaskill, former democratic senator from missouri, and brendan buck, former press secretary for house speakers john boehner and paul ryan. dana, this law in arizona is currently on hold for 14 days. arizona's a.g. has said she won't enforce it, so what is the impact being felt on this ruling so far? >> reporter: yeah, ana, it is sending shock waves throughout the state of arizona. many people angered, saddened on both sides. we spoke to voters who say that they will be galvanized, and this will impact them when it comes to november because they want their voices heard. there's a group now that is collecting signatures to try to get an amendment, an initiative on the november ballot so that they can try to codify reproductive rights in the state and many people say this will get them out to the polls because this is an issue they really care about. so right now the law is on hold because it's being sent back to the lower court. they will look for additional

constitutional challenges, and then that's when the process starts. this could go in effect as early as 60 days, and a lot of people were confused about the law and confused about what this means. can they get an abortion? there have been local clinics who said that patients have been calling, questioning, what does this mean for me? and a lot of those clinics say they will be helping those women and possibly when this law goes into effect, they will be sending them to places like california to try to get the abortions they need. listen to just some of the passionate things that we heard from women yesterday about how this impacts them. >> i can't imagine women are going to be in situations, they can't get the care they need. >> i'm 69 so we got a lot of rights during my lifetime. the government tried to step in and change things too. the 1800s is on the surface ridiculous, but it's very hurtful to a lot of people.

>> reporter: yeah, and one woman told me that she wants to amend the state constitution not to reflect 1864 but 2024. now, state lawmakers will be back in session and try to get something on the books as early as wednesday. ana. >> dana griffin in scottsdale, arizona. thanks for the reporting. president biden's campaign just launched a seven-figure ad buy there in arizona focused on abortion rights. let's play a part of that. >> because of donald trump, millions of women lost the fundamental freedom to control their own bodies, and now women's lives are in danger because of that. the question is if donald trump gets back in power, what freedom will you lose next. your body and your decisions belong to you, not the government, not donald trump. i will fight like hell to get your agree get your freedom

back. >> what do you make of the biden campaign strategy? >> well, i think it's smart. i think it's very important that they keep this issue on the front burner because it motivates. the republican party has gone to a very extreme place, and i think the thing that's most frustrating to me, ana, about the arizona story is it's interesting to people and infuriating to people because this was a law that originally was put on the books in the 1800s. it was codified, however, in 1901, i think, but you know what? that law is identical to the law in missouri. >> wow. >> and just a few months ago the republicans in the missouri senate voted to deny a rape and incest exception. so this is not the republican party of the 1800s. this is the republican party of right now, and this is what donald trump is embracing. he should know that the law in arizona that everyone's going crazy about is the law in other

states, complete bans with a very limited exception for the life of the mother with all kinds of hoops you have to jump through to get to that exception. and he's doing nothing, and the republicans are doing nothing. so it is -- it is infuriaing what happened in arizona, but that anger needs to spread across the entire country because donald trump did this 100%. >> we just showed that map with how many states have the most restrictive abortion bans on the books right now. brendan, donald trump keeps changing his message on the abortion issue. he is now saying that the arizona abortion decision went too far. that's after he said on monday that this issue is for each state to decide. if the head of the party is so inconsistent and all over the map, no pun intended, what does that mean for the rest of the party? >> yeah, i mean, leaving this up to the states is obviously what

has happened since the dobbs decision. we know that donald trump has been wrestling privately with what his position is going to end up being, and he ultimately didn't take one, and i think that tells you everything you need to know. there isn't a safe position for republicans to take on this. it just doesn't exist. whether, you know, we're seeing what's happening when you leave it up to the states. if you were to come out with something that would play better in the general election, you'll get hammered by the right. he chose to avoid the issue entirely but he's going to be left to the mercy of state legislatures and state supreme courts, and every week you're probably going to see something new like this popping up. as long as this issue continues to dominate, it's an advantage to his opponent. >> let's take a look at this fox news poll from just last month. 39% of arizona voters said abortion would be extremely important in deciding their vote for president. another 32% said it would be very important.

senator, you have experience of running against an oppose who made controversial remarks about abortion, and you won. how much could this hurt republican kari lake's senate campaign in arizona? >> well, she's got a special problem in that she's such a liar. you know, she is really trying to emulate the boss and see if she can lie all the time. i mean, what was really rich was her trying to pretend that she didn't embrace this law specifically. just two years ago when she was running for governor, she embraced this law specifically, she referred to it and said we have a great law on the books and tried to say she wasn't referring to that law. she named it by number, the specific law that now is, in fact, the law of arizona, and i just wonder how dumb she thinks the voters of arizona actually are. that they aren't paying attention that she said this was a great law ten minutes ago and now she's acting like it's not a

great law. that won't work. as we say in the ozarks, that dog won't hunt. i think she's in real trouble in terms of the extreme positions she's taken on voters being able to have their say at the ballot box and now on this important topic of reproductive freedom. >> she announced on x she will be putting out a new video statement about her stance on abortion sometime today. wheal be watching social media for that. brendan, any one state can be the focus of any given issue at any time. later today iowa's supreme court hears arguments about a near total abortion ban there. if you're not in iowa, if you're not in arizona, will republican candidates in every state be asked to answer for these policies? >> yeah, i think they will. it's going to be a front and center issue in the presidential election. look, donald trump lost last time for a number of reasons, but if you want to pick one primary, it's suburban women who

have rejected the republican position on abortion for a long time and as long as this continues to be front and center, everybody is going to have to talk about it. and i don't think the republican party is really going to get out of this until voters save them from themselves by putting these things on the ballots and taking away some of these positions. yeah, this is going to be nationalized. the democrats are not dumb. they're going to find ways to put it on the ballot. in arizona, that's a state that donald trump probably has to win, and if abortion is on the ballot, it is not good for donald trump there. >> and let's just focus in on arizona for another moment because it's such a pivotal state when you look at the electoral map. not only because of this abortion issue and its impact, but it's really setting up to be, you know, the center of multiple 2024 fights. the border politics obviously another major issue, arizona has a huge latino population. it also has the nation's biggest

battleground county. maricopa county, which is a former republican stronghold. more than 2 million people voted in maricopa county in 2020. biden narrowly won there. other counties are getting more conservative. does the winner in arizona win the country? >> maybe. and i will tell you this, the winner of the u.s. is that the race probably decides who controls the united states senate. it is an incredibly important state. there are other states that i could argue are as important, but none that are more important. the electoral college votes there are essential to donald trump. i don't think he can win without it, and frankly, you know, he's got folks running for governor and for senate in some of these states that are important that are really baggage for him. i think kari lake is baggage for him in arizona. and her trying to flip-flop on this issue isn't going to work. you know what people are suspicious of? they're very suspicious of people who flip on a fundamental

issue like this because you know what that means? they're political hacks. they're looking for votes and don't have any principles. >> former senator claire mccaskill and brendan buck, i appreciate your thoughts and your insights. still ahead, i'll talk to the chief medical director at planned parenthood arizona. plus, on the brink of capitol hill chaos, fueled by a deepening republican rift that could cost the new speaker his job. i'll talk with democratic congressman jim himes, ranking member of the house intelligence committee. and later, third time is not the charm for donald trump as his latest effort to delay his hush money case fails with jury selection set days from now. we're back in just 60 seconds. c. with chewy, it's never been easier to get their favorite toy delivered.

leaders ahead of his address to a joint meeting of congress this morning. his speech comes after a state dinner honoring the japanese leader at the white house last night and as tensions grow between the u.s. and some of japan's neighbors, china and russia. the u.s. working to bolster its ties there in the region. meantime, house speaker mike johnson is preparing to head to trump country with his job on the line. according to two sources, the house speaker will head to mar-a-lago tomorrow to deliver remarks about, quote, election integrity with former president trump, but it could be an awkward reunion after trump orchestrated a fresh blow to johnson's already fragile speakership. trump urged a small group of ultraconservative republicans to buck party leaders and block the renewal of a powerful surveillance program. this was just after marjorie taylor greene escalated her threats to boot johnson from his job. nbc's ryan nobles joins us on capitol hill.

ryan, how much trouble is johnson in and will his appearance with trump help prop them up? >> well, ana, he certainly hopes so. there's no doubt that donald trump holds enormous sway with the house republican conservatives. this is the exact group that could potentially be responsible from toppling him from his speakership, much like they did with the former house speaker kevin mccarthy. but johnson finds himself in a very difficult position here. he has two very important pieces of legislation, the reauthorization of the federal surveillance program, which you talked about, and also the funding for additional tide ukraine. both of those issues are wildly popular across much of the country with both republicans and democrats. but it is something that conservative republicans in particular have a real issue with, and some, including marjorie taylor greene have threatened that if he even brings this legislation to the floor, that will be enough for them to trigger this motion to vacate, which would then put his job in danger and it would take only a couple of republicans and

all the democrats to walk away from mike johnson for him to lose his job. so there's a lot at stake here. and johnson has not specifically laid out the road map for him to get both of these pieces of legislation across the finish line. as you rightly pointed out, yesterday they couldn't even get the rules passed, which is basically the mechanism to get the conversation started. so johnson finds himself in a very difficult position. and he's hopeful that donald trump can help him find his way out of it. >> can you explain why the revolt over that surveillance law? >> reporter: so the issue that republicans and some progressive democrats have is they believe it gives the federal government too much power to surveil average american citizens. even though it is designed specifically to just surveil foreign entities who might be operating in the united states. they've actually created a lot of reforms to this legislation which was part of what they voted on yesterday burks these conservative republicans and donald trump himself say that it

is just not enough. now, if this bill were on the floor, a straight up or down vote, it would probably pass very easily, but we are not in normal times here, ana, and even getting legislation like this to the floor has become a real problem for speaker johnson. >> not normal times at all, ryan nobles, thank you very much. and joining us now is congressman jim himes of connecticut. he is the ranking member of the house intelligence committee. congressman, we'll dig a little deeper into section 702 in a moment. just a reaction to this small group of ultraconservative republicans blocking a vote. >> well, it's -- ana, what it is at its core is a deeply undemocratic thing because of what marjorie taylor greene is did, what matt gaetz will do, what probably a dozen or so republicans will do, when they say we're going to stop a rule, they're taking advantage of this bizarre quirk of a very narrow republican majority to basically exercise a personal veto. so in other words, i will take down a rule.

that's what happened yesterday, it wasn't one, it was 19 republicans. but the point is the house should be allowed to work its will. so whether it's on ukraine aid where you would have in excess of the 3/4 of the congress supporting it or fisa 702 which is a critical, critical intelligence collection mechanism that's keeping us safe right now, these people are saying my political needs, probably my low dollar fund-raising needs are so important that i'm going to create an explosion, which damages the national security of the country, which is undemocratic because it prevents the house from working its will, but you know what, i'm going to curry a little bit of favor with donald trump and mar-a-lago so that's a trade. >> so you're right, this rebellion was a blow to mike johnson orchestrated by donald trump. are you surprised, then, that johnson is going to travel to mar-a-lago on friday to deliver remarks about, quote, unquote, election integrity with trump? >> you know, i'm not one bit surprised. i mean, again, you know, we talk about mccarthy. we talk about johnson.

people always say is he doing a good job. it doesn't matter who's in that role. it could be any republican, it could be jim jordan, kevin mccarthy, it could be nick. nobody can manage the republican caucus when an individual like marjorie taylor greene or lauren boebert or matt gaetz or marjorie taylor greene over again has a veto over the actions of the house. and so, you know, i'm sorry to see him go to mar-a-lago because one thing i'll say for speaker johnson, i haven't had a lot of contact with him. i think i disagree with speaker johnson on every substantive thing. he does appear to be a man of integrity. i don't know what that's going to do to his immortal soul to be standing next to donald trump. >> should democrats come to his rescue in somebody like marjorie taylor greene tries to oust him. >> marjorie taylor greene and two of her friends could take down the speaker. on the one hand, it is not the

democrats' job, these are people who are calling us communistsco attacking us, it is not our job to rescue them from chaos and dysfunction. on the other hand, at our hearts we are get it done kind of people. we are the party that capped insulin prices. we are the party that go a bipartisan infrastructure law done. in the service of continuing to get things done we will listen to proposals stop this place from spiraling into complete chaos. again, that's hard. it's not our job to save republicans from their maga chaos. >> coming back to fisa, the foreign intelligence surveillance act, what do you see as the consequences if it's not reauthorized or lapses? what does it mean for america's national security? >> it cannot lapse, and i don't often make unconditional statements, but it cannot lapse. it is our single most important

intelligence tool. to illustrate that, i will tell you that in excess of 60% of the entries in the presidents' daily brief. this is our most exquisite intelligence product come from 702. it is a much more dangerous world today than it was five years ago. terrorism concerns are up, china, russia, iran, north korea. you know, now the allowing of this collection tool to lapse would be a catastrophe. yes, it does need to be reformed substantially. we are doing that, but you know, nobody should be suggesting that we should allow this thing to lapse because there is no doubt in my mind that lots more fentanyl would get into the country, more americans will die. the chinese and the russians, by the way, will pop champagne if this dysfunctional congress allows that authority to lapse. >> congressman jim himes, thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. >> up next, after a third failed attempt does donald trump are

have any options left for trying to delay his hush money case. plus, on the front lines of the abortion rights battle in arizona with a firsthand look from a doctor with the state's planned parenthood. state's planned parenthood n stanley, we're ready for whatever gets served up. dude, you gotta work on your trash talk. i'd rather work on saving for retirement. or college, since you like to get schooled. that's a pretty good burn, right?

brought. it will be now the first case to go to trial. how'd we get here? >> you said it, right? three times is not a charm in this week when it comes to appeals, and it hasn't been successful for the former president, but this dates all the way back, ana, to the access hollywood tape released back in 2016. and i think a lot of folks forget that. let's take a look. >> on august 21st, 2018, michael cohen, donald trump's former fixer pled guilty to eight counts in manhattan federal court. cohen alleged in a court of law donald trump directed him to make illegal payments to influence the 2016 election. >> he worked to pay money to silence two women who had information that he believed would be detrimental to the 2016 campaign. >> those two women, adult film star stormy daniels and playboy playmate karen mcdougal were at the center of hush money payments by michael cohen ahead of the 2016 election. >> women and even more women

like me matter. >> reporter: cohen paid $130,000 to stormy daniels and karen mcdougal got 150,000 from the national inquirer, a deal trump's fixer cohen said he orchestrated himself on behalf of donald trump and the trump organization. donald trump and the organization denied those allegations. >> do you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? >> no. >> manhattan district attorney cy vance began investigating those payments. he eventually subpoenaed eight years of trump's tax returns. the fight went all the way to the supreme court before cy vance got the documents in 2021. >> the manhattan district attorney now is in possession of former president donald trump's tax returns. >> reporter: and the next month prosecutors turned their sights on allen weisselberg, the trump organization's cfo. >> this guy is the ultimate service provider, he has been working for the trump family for decades. you track these service providers, you can crack the case. >> reporter: and when

weisselberg refused to testify against the former president, prosecutors announced charges against the trump organization and the cfo. they both plead not guilty. >> 15 counts for a range of charges from larceny to tax evasion to falsifying records. it shows d.a. here cy vance meant business during this multiyear probe. >> reporter: in january of 2022, a new manhattan d.a., alvin bragg is sworn in with speculation over whether he will pursue charges. but on april 7th, 2022, he releases a statement saying in part, the investigation continues. in august of 2022, allen weisselberg pleads guilty and agrees to testify against the trump organization, and four months later, the trump organization is convicted, found guilty of tax fraud and eventually alvin bragg calls a new grand jury. >> we finally got answers on the political, financial, legal, moral, public corruption scandal

. >> reporter: and had march of 2023, trump posts on truth social of an imminent arrest. and while the arrest on that day did not happen, on march 30th, 2023, mr. trump was indicted on 34 counts. days later in a manhattan courthouse, he was arraigned. he's pled not guilty. >> charging a former president of the united states for the first time in history on a basis that every single pundit and legal analyst said there is no case. there's no case. >> monday is going to be history in the making. the first time a former president of the united states, presumptive nominee for the republican party is going to be in a criminal court, be held criminally responsibly possible. four to six weeks we're looking a the. they're not going to be in court on wednesday. they may be off for passover as well. two major witnesses, michael cohen, stormy daniels as well. i think the major question will be for the jury will they find michael cohen to be a plausible witness. right? and that is going to be kind of

the question going into this whole thing, and it's all going to play out every single day right here. >> that's right. we'll be following very closely. no cameras in the courtroom, but we will be giving the play by play. yasmin vossoughian, thank you for laying all that out, catching us up, reminding us of the heart of this case. >> and joining us now is the legal contributor, host of the katie phang show, katie phang. so nice to see you, katie. trump has had three efforts to delay the start of this trial rejected in the first three days of this week. are you surprised by the amount of time that they're putting into trying to delay the trial instead of preparing? >> no, i am not, and i think it's indicative of how donald trump has been, frankly, ana, to delay the beginning of this trial. as you know, we've been following all of his criminal cases very closely. delay is the common denominator for donald trump in all of his criminal cases, but i said a few days ago that eventually the

judicial system, the wheels of justice, they may turn too slowly for most of our collective taste, but eventually it will actually come to a true beginning when it comes to accountability for any and all criminal defendants, and that's really the important point, right, ana? donald trump is not president trump anymore. he is former president trump, but more importantly, he is just defendant trump in this case, and so jury selection will begin on monday barring some intervention by the appellate court in his favor. >> okay, so is he out of options or could he attempt a fourth try today, or is it just now in the hands of the appellate court? >> i know it sounds crazy but we at msnbc are always looking to see whether or not he tries another last minute appellate move. there will be a full panel of the appellate court that will be listening to and considering the denials that he got on an emergency basis during the course of this week. again, unless an appellate court

intervenes and says the case doesn't begin on mondayed, you bet your bottom dollar trump will be in court on monday with his attorneys. the manhattan d.a.'s office will be there and jury selection will begin. and it's going to take a couple of weeks, so they say, to be able to get a jury impanel instead this case. >> could you explain why it could take so long, and what will you be watching for? >> the obvious, right? you and i are talking about it. there are thousands of criminal cases across the country that don't get this attention. donald trump has been contributing to the publicity behind this case. he tried to get a change of venue because he complained about the amount of pretrial publicity and yet all he does is talk about his criminal cases. and so a jury has to be seated, ana, that's going to be fair and impartial. that is the legal standard. and in order to get there, more than 500 new yorkers have received notices to appear on monday. they will be whittled down to a jury of 12 with a couple of alternates, maybe more than two because this is a five to six-week trial, and that jury must come to a unanimous verdict

in terms of the guilt or the not guilty or the innocence of donald trump. >> katie phang, thank you so much for laying it out for us and breaking down some of the legalese around all of it. be sure to watch "the katie phang show" every saturday at noon right here on msnbc. next on "ana cabrera reports," chaos and confusion at abortion clinics in arizona. i'll talk to the chief medical director at planned parenthood arizona about the impact on women, doctors, and the fear among patients. tors, and the are among patients anthony: this making you uncomfortable? good. when you've got type 2 diabetes like me, you have up to 4 times greater risk of stroke, heart attack or worse death.

even when meeting your a1c goal. discomfort can help you act. i'm not trying to scare you. i'm empowering you... to get real with your health care provider. talk to them about lowering your risk of stroke, heart attack or death. always dry scoop before you run. listen to me, the hot dog diet got me shredded. it's time we listen to science. one a day is formulated with key nutrients to support whole body health.

one a day. science that matters. (christina) with verizon business unlimited, i get 5g, truly unlimited data, and unlimited hotspot data. so, no matter what, i'm running this kitchen. (vo) make the switch. it's your business. it's your verizon. try killing bugs the worry-free way. not the other way. zevo traps use light to attract and trap flying insects with no odor and no mess. they work continuously, so you don't have to. zevo.

people-friendly. bug-deadly. hi, i'm kim, and i lost 67 pounds on golo. when i go out with people, people-friendly. they expect me to eat like a bird. they are shocked by the amount of food i eat while losing weight. with golo, i don't need a cheat day because i get to eat the foods i like any day of the week. my life is full of questions... mom, is yellow a light or a dark? how do i clean an aioli stain? thankfully, tide's the answer to almost all of them. why do we even buy napkins? use tide. can cold water clean white socks? it can with tide. do i need to pretreat guacamole? not with tide. this is chocolate, right? -just use... -tide...yeah. no matter who's doing it, on what cycle, or in what temperature, tide works. so i can focus on all the other questions. do crabs have eyebrows? ahh... for all of life's laundry questions, it's got to be tide.

we're back with more on america's battle over abortion rights with arizona now at the front lines. clinics across that state are flooding with confused patients with the reinstatement of that ban dating back to 1864 creating new chaos. that near total ban criminalizing abortion and allowing for the prosecution of both providers and patients. joining us now, planned parenthood of arizona medical director dr. jill gibson. doctor, thank you for taking a moment of your day with us. what has it been like for you and your staff since this state supreme court decision? what are you seeing at your clinics? >> i've been providing this essential health care service in our health centers both on tuesday, the day that the decision was issued, as well as yesterday. and what we're seeing is patients are still, of course, presenting for this essential health care service, but they're

confused. they're overwhelmed and they're panicked that they won't make it into the health center in time to have the health care services that they need. our call center is flooded with calls with patients asking if they need to make arrangements to leave the state. patients that i was counseling yesterday are asking me if they should start looking for alternate means to secure an abortion. we know that abortion bans do not reduce the total number of abortions. they simply make it more difficult to access health care, and they dictate who gets to access this health care. >> this law that was passed or the ban that is now reenacted, it is on pause for 14 days, but then what? what is your plan if this law takes effect? >> right, so we anticipate that we will have longer than 14 days. there is at least a 45-day stay that will be enacted after that, and so we do anticipate that we have at least a short period of time, in which we'll be able to

continue to provide this health care service. and after that, we are still digesting the news and speaking to lawyers, frankly, to try and determine what's the best course of action. what i can tell you is that we recognize that the citizens of arizona will still absolutely need abortion services and we're working closely with partners in other states to ensure we can have navigation and be able to help patients get where they need to go. >> arizona's attorney general has promised not to prosecute women or doctors for abortion care if this law does go into effect. we have the governor also promising similar protections through executive action. as you make this decision, would it be enough for you to keep moving forward? are you willing to take the risk? >> so what i can say, ana, is that that puts doctors in incredibly difficult positions and my staff as well. you know, all that i can really speak to here is that basic and essential medical care should never be criminalized. we should be able to provide the care that we have the experience and training to do that our patients are showing up and

telling us that they need. we absolutely cannot be playing politics. we have to stay focused on providing the medical care, and i plan to stay focused on doing that for however long i'm legally able to do so. >> the state legislature could repeal this law immediately. yesterday it looked like they might, but republicans adjourned without taking action. the arizona house speaker saying in a statement, quote, we as an elected body are going to take the time needed to listen to our constituents and carefully consider appropriate actions rather than rush legislation on a topic of this magnitude without a larger discussion. what do you say to that? >> ana, again, this is just absolutely insane that we are playing politics with real patients' lives. let me tell you about a patient that i saw the other day who came in severely sick with nausea and vomiting of early pregnancy. she is already a mother. she has a whole family that she's taking care of. she's not able to work because she is so sick with her pregnancy. if she wasn't able to terminate

her pregnancy, she told me that she would not be able to make rent and her family would be homeless. so while our politicians are down at the capitol arguing over an archaic law that has no place in today's society, real women, real pregnant people are absolutely bearing the consequences and are caught in these cross hairs of this ridiculous battle and it's completely unacceptable. >> dr. jill gibson -- >> one last point that eight out of ten arizonians support access to reproductive health care and support access to abortion, and so this decision is not the will of the people. >> dr. jill gibson, i appreciate your time. thank you very much for giving us some insights into what's happening at planned parenthood in arizona since the supreme court state's decision there. >> thank you. today more than 25 million people are at risk of damaging wind, floods, and possible tornados. we're tracking the severe weather. plus, new legal trouble for kansas city chief's player

thank you, boring. it wouldn't be spring without a couple of april showers, but the storms hitting the south this week have taken it to a whole other level. several gulf states hit hard by floods and tornados. that danger remains today with parts of louisiana, mississippi, alabama, florida, and georgia all under tornado watches. nbc's kathy park joins us in slidell, louisiana, where we can see widespread damage there. there was a reported tornado, kathy. tell us what you're seeing on the ground. how bad is it? >> reporter: hey, ana, good morning to you. in hard-hit slidell, you see destruction pretty much at every turn. we're standing in perhaps one of the hardest hit areas, and if you take a look behind me, this is an apartment complex. we're told that at the height of the storm, roughly 50 people

were inside, but as you can see, the roof has been completely blown off, bricks scattered everywhere, but incredibly, no one was hurt. >> big, big tornado! >> reporter: after violent and destructive storms raced through the south, this morning major damage throughout the region. an apparent tornado destroying homes and businesses in slidell, louisiana. >> it sounded like a bomb going off. >> reporter: construction workers describing the chaos as they sheltered inside this building. >> first everything got real dark, and the winds got really bad, and then it got quiet, the calm before the storm. >> reporter: first responders working around the clock helping roughly 50 people escape from this apartment complex torn apart by the twister. an ef-2 are tornado also confirmed in lake charles, louisiana, where winds up to 115 miles an hour led to significant damage. you can see from this view from above roofs completely ripped from homes and cars smashed by debris.

the storm also causing flash flooding in some areas including new orleans where streets were under water. in st. francisville strong winds snapped trees like twigs, also bringing down power lines leaving residents in the dark. >> did you get warnings, alerts on your phone that this was headed this way? >> we got one, yeah, but within two minutes it was here and the trees were toppling. >> reporter: severe weather also slamming mississippi where at least one death is being blamed on the storms. flooding also hitting texas where animals had to be rescued from a barn in kirbiville, and in kat are y, a confirmed ef-1 tornado tearing through homes and buildings. >> our estimates is winds 90 miles an hour. >> reporter: a week of wild weather, and it's not over yet. and here in slidell, this is really the first full day of cleanup, and it's a long road to recovery. meanwhile, roughly 28 million people from the ohio valley to florida are in the path of another round of severe weather.

this also includes augusta this also includes ugusta, georgia, and as you know, ana, the masters tournament gets underway today. officials will be monitoring the weather closely. >> thank you very much for that reporting. an arrest warrant has now been issued for kansas city chief's star receiver rashee rice. he is accused of causing a crash involving several vehicles after speeding in his lamborghini on a texas highway. rice is now facing several charges related to this incident including aggravated assault, collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision of collision causing injury. priscilla thompson has the details from dallas. priscilla, what exactly happened here and what is next for rashee rice? >> reporter: yes, ana. all of this stems from a car accident two weeks ago where a lamborghini and corvette were speeding down the expressway. both drivers losing control of

their vehicles, leading to a six car collision. rashee rice was behind the wheel of the lamborghini according to his attorney. we are seeing an arrest warrant has been issued on those eight felony charges you laid out. aggravated assault carries 2 to 20 years in jail and a fine of $20,000. collision involving serious bodily injury carries 2 to 10 years and a fine of $10,000 and six counts of collision causing injury punishable by five years along with a fine so at this point, rashee rice and the other driver, the 21-year-old, theodore knox, both facing these charges. they have 24 hours to turn themselves in, to surrender to police here in texas. they can do that at any police station across the state so we will see what happens today.

mug shots will likely be taken and we could see one or both of them bonding out potentially and from there obviously the prosecutor's office will take that up and decide what will happen next in this case. i have spoken to experts who say given there were not serious injuries -- two treated on scene and two taken to the hospital with minor injuries -- they may not see jail time but a lot of civil liability here and rashee rice says he will work to compensate the victims and he recognizes his mistake and wants to take full responsibility. ana? >> priscilla thompson, thanks for bringing us all of the details. up next on ana cabrera reports, a new chapter for a maine bowling alley after a gunman's rampage. eliquis. eliquis reduces stroke risk. and has less major bleeding.

as twitter, writing that oj had succumbed to his battle with cancer. i want to get right to katie turner joining us on the phone. you have a family connection to the coverage, the news coverage during the o.j. simpson case involving his ex- wife, nicole brown simpson. give me your thoughts on this news and what is going through your mind. >> reporter: anybody who lived in los angeles in the '90s will remember he had a connection and it is hard to overstate the impact o.j. had on the city of los angeles . from the time he was in college when he was a heisman winner, he was a superstar football player, superstar nfl player in commercials. he was ubiquitous on the cereal boxes everywhere and a hollywood actor. he was well known and so was

his high profile relationship with nicole which was highly volatile and that ended in the truly horrific stabbing death of both her and ron goldman at her house -- townhouse. this was just around the corner, down the street, ana, from my middle school and the mood -- middle school was overrun with roadblocks. they were trying to get a macabre glimpse of the crime scene. o.j.'s house was just up the hill from us. helicopters were flying overhead all the time including my parents' helicopter in los angeles. o.j. was immediately not a suspect but he was definitely looked into because he went missing and there was a slow speed pursuit in los angeles looking for him and my parents scrambled

to find him. it was a surreal moment he was driven down the l.a. freeway with his friend, al. the freeway was clear and los angeles freeways are never cleared off and there was this white bronco leading a fleet of cop cars behind him and was on the phone with the cops. i think at one point, even a news broadcast saying o.j. had a gun to his head and would kill himself. he visited the grave site of nicole brown simpson and he was going who knows where at that time. the whole city was glued to the television. it ended up stopping at his house and from there it was the trial -- it is a cliche, but it's true, it was the trial of the century for not only the city of los angeles but the world tuned in to see what would happen to l.a.

-- o.j. riots happened a few years earlier. there were deep wounds in the city. you can see from the damage the riots left behind in the city, then this case with o.j. comes along and once again it seemed to be racially divided whether he did it or did not. his home became such a tourist site that the cops had to block off the street that led to his home in brentwood because people from around the world would come to see where he lived. it was something that changed the fabric of los angeles and certainly made an impact on anybody who grew up in that time . >> katy, you just laid out so much of the story and what people think about when they think of o.j. simpson. for those just joining us, our breaking news this hour, o.j. simpson confirmed to have died

at the age of 76. his family said he succumbed to his battle with cancer and joining us on the phone, chris witherspoon as we look at iconic images from his trial, katy laid out how he had such a fall from grace having been an nfl for all-star. your thoughts learning about his death? >> it is shocking that he died. katy was unpacking it. even the video of the bronco, even before the trial happens, he was a bona fide movie star. he will cross over all types of racial lines and that trial brought up issues we haven't talked about, like domestic violence, what happens when you are collected -- connected to a celebrity but there are a lot of mixed feelings. >> chris witherspoon, standby
