paxton launching an investigation on her report even though texas officials debunked it. they now have this report. launch an investigation and now it enters the lexicon of the gop for the next 70 plus days. >> that's right and that is what happens. instead of citing this report, we get to talk about it as an investigation. so it is laundering conspiracy theories through these channels. the same thing happened in georgia with the stuff they pushed recently. there are these conspiracy theories that 14% of noncitizens in georgia were going to vote. it was this information online and that made its way to more formal channels. that is the part that is really insidious. the chaos we are seeing in a lot of ways is a reflection of the fact there is no center of gravity right now. it is worth noting that this is the first election in 30 years where rush limbaugh is not the largest get out the vote operation in the country and the effects of that are felt every day in the chaos you see in the larger right-wing media. they don't know what to echo. they are a chorus without a conduc

that didn't stop texas ag ken paxton from continuing to repeat all of this.ly with their lies and then legally with their actions to change the rules to bend to their will. >> yeah. let me tell you how i interpret that. maria bartoromo who has been spreading conspiracy theories on her show for years now has a friend who heard people speaking spanish at the department of motor vehicles in texas and assumed or maria assumes that because they were speaking spanish they must not be u.s. citizens. how the hell would the person know whether those folks were u.s. citizens or not? the fact is texas is one of the hardest states if not the hardest state in the country for citizens to register to vote. that is the disgrace, that is the scandal of texas. >> yes. >> and the efforts to demonize people who are doing voter registration from lulac and elsewhere in texas is an absolute national scandal, and i'm glad that you're paying attention to it. >> okay. we talked about georgia, talked about colorado, we talked about texas. let's talk about north carolina. you have repor

especially when it comes from men like ken paxton, who frankly has been under federal indictment his time as attorney general. and they understand that at this point the only way they can continue to win elections is by suppressing voters, by making voters feel apathetic. so they continue to do these things over and over again. and coincidentally, it always happens to be during election years that these scandals come out. >> yeah, there is no coincidence, ever. olivia julianna, i want to tell you that you are inspiration for me and countless others. thank you for tirelessly doing the work. it will pay off, it already has. olivia julianna, thank you for being here today. >> thanks for having me. >> and my thanks to all of you for joining us today. msnbc reports with my friend, alex witt, is coming up next. hh that safely gets your teeth white and keeps them white every day just by brushing your teeth. christine>>> i never thought that whitening my teeth could be so easy. i just put the gel on the brush, the toothpaste on it, brush and i can see my white teeth. announcer>>> simply add

legal story, it's a political story and, yes, so the lawsuit was brought by texas attorney general ken the legal organization founded and led by steven miller, the former senior advisor to then president trump and the architect of many of his administration's immigration policies. that is a very important player in the legal aspect behind this case. and were trump to win a second term it is likely that steven miller would be once again behind the controls when it comes to immigration policy which is why a lot of people think if trump were to win again this program would be rescinded. this is why for someone like fotay who we heard at the top this pause in the program is difficult. i talked to him after the judge ruled and he described it as feeling like a knife through the heart because he was really hoping that the government would process his application before november at which point it would be much harder for the government to take away that status once it's been granted, given that this is likely to be paused for some time the future of this program depends not only what happens

and i got a letter from ken paxton the attorney general basically telling me, i'm sorry, i'm a littleoverwhelmed and i apologize. i thought i knew what i wanted to say until i got up here. so, i've also been called with this case and followed on the heels. kate actually said she did not relate she never thought she would want or need an abortion. and sought me out for that reason because she had just heard the decision of the district case. that's the first one to go to the supreme court later. the attorney general sent me a letter saying the restraining order would expire before the statute of limitations did on the abortion ban. he also sent letters to the three hospitals where i have privileges. my circumstances is somewhat fortuitous. i left employment at a hospital that is not allowing its employed physicians to speak out. it is been strongly discouraged as i talked to my colleagues that are still there. i happen to leave and start my own practice. that was about six years ago and it gave me the freedom to speak out. and i also come at the time was single and i don't have any chi

paxton. it comes after several homes of democrats were raided in connection to what they were describing as a voter integrity investigation. what was your response to that? >> i was really shocked and disgusted that they would send in a s.w.a.t. team basically to the home of an 87-year-old woman who has worked in earnest all of her adult life in trying to get people to vote, register people to vote. that they would be pointing guns at her and others on a matter of voting. and it came around the same time within the last few days when greg abbott announced that he had removed or suspended one 1.1 million texans from the voter rolls. so how is it that this woman is trying to help some people registered to vote? and they go in and send a swat team into her home and pointing guns at her and yet the governor of texas dumps 1.1 million texans from the voter registration roles, and he calls that election integrity. i mean, the irony is just incredible, but i would expect that this is how texas repub
