so, many of the state legislatures don't represent the will of the people or, you know, even in red stateshave seen some of these ballot initiatives in the last couple of years, even in red states who have voters purning back against efforts to restrict abortion rights. the electorate may be conservative and oppose abortion but not to the degree their state lawmakers are enacting in legislation. >> yeah. and marjorie taylor greene and also lauren boebert, two divorcees. i'm not sure they're living their faith. they tend to not believe in no-fault divorce. >> what is the end game in steve bannon? >> the stolen election myth is about fundamentally is a starting premise that the country is conservative. and it's about who the country belongs to. and that's why it's not really about the machines or the mules and all that stuff can kind of change or go away or get disproven. but what really matters is this idea about who america is for -- >> white people. >> well, in the view of some members of the movement -- >> white christians i should say. white christian conservatives. >> well, i think we

it is your power that will put this right in the arizona state constitution and elect a state legislature who'll defend freedom, not try to take it away. it is your power that will send leaders like rudin diego to the united states senate and help secure a majority of members in the united states congress who simply agree, who simply agree, this is all we want. simply agree that the government should not be making these personal decisions for other people. and it is your power that will send joe biden and me back to the white house. and when congress passes a law that restores the reproductive freedoms of roe, joe biden will sign it into law. so in conclusion, i say, in conclusion, i say it is going to take all of us to get there. it is going to take every single one of us and momentum is on our side. think about it. since roe was overturned every time reproductive freedom has been on the ballot, the people of america have voted for freedom. think about it. from kansas to california to kentucky, in michigan, montana, vermont and ohio. the people of america have voted for freedom and not j

there's this tension between the genuinely held beliefs from republicans that state legislatures, city councilmembers, members of the u.s. tenant. conservatives everywhere really believe -- i really do believe that. and the politics of it. and it was just so striking to me, what the arizona republican majority did. they could've done the political thing. what was your interpretation of the arizona republican state legislatures actions today to block an immediate overwriting of this decision? >> well, because they truly do believe that women do not have a right to an abortion. they believe the doctor should go to jail for providing safe and legal abortions, and nurses and other providers. they are voting against the overturning of the bill and they are telling us what they want to do. believe them. this is the opportunity for everyone in arizona to understand we have a real threat. they have an initiative they need to vote for in november. we need to vote out these republicans that are antiabortion right. if you want to help out this campaign, we want to make sure we posed her lies, som

with over 800 discriminatory bills this year alone in state legislatures across the country, i understand that it is easy to feel really discouraged and overwhelmed. i get it. but we can't let their meanness, their anger, their hatred get to us. we can't give in to their cynicism. because cynicism and despair kill creativity. it saps our energy. it makes us feel hopeless. and i reject that. i want all of us to reject that. yes, there are people desperately trying to pull us backwards. but we will prevail. how do i know this? because i am a member of congress and i am proud and i am gay and i have other colleagues with me standing next to me. we will prevail. because our community is not going to go back. a message that i want to take out from this day forward is, we are the light and the students and the teachers and the parents here, you are the light, together we are the change. together we are will prevail. because we are not a nation of cynics. we are a nation of creativity. we are a nation of generous people. we will overcome the hate. we will. i promise you this. and we will do it t

to support putting pressure on state legislatures, to reconvene and send up a state -- slate of electors. which itself would've been subject to legal challenge. or to pressure mike pence the county's illegitimate votes. and worse comes to worse, throw things to the 12th amendment. i will say, even with the fraudulent electors, even if some of them might've thought, maybe this is a legit scheme. as tom said, i the time they voted, -- even after that, in wisconsin, we had someone from the republican party flying out to d.c. on january 5th to try to make sure the fraudulent slate got to mike pence. in one of her text, she said, i feel like a drug dealer. >> wasn't that also were someone past the list to ron johnson to get to mike pence? and he was the one carrying it? he was like, someone gave me something. i do not really know. someone gives you a ziploc bag, you carry it over. can i just say this, tom, the other thing that strikes me. to questions. one is, i believe of the seven states, new mexico is one of them. i think in two of the states, the language of the thing they certified had a

as the clock counts down to a total ban going into effect, the state legislature is scheduled to meet the future of abortions in the state. in the midst of the uncertainty, patients and providers in arizona are scrambling. here's abc's senior congressional correspondent rachel scott. >> reporter: at clinics across the state of arizona, there is a growing sense of urgency and anger in the air. >> i didn't go to medical school to go to jail. >> if this law goes into effect, we have to legally cease providing all abortions. >> reporter: for doctors trying to avoid arrest, patients seeking care -- >> hi. >> reporter: it's now become a race against time again. >> it's pretty scary. i don't want other women to suffer. >> the women who might not have the opportunity to get abortion care in a few weeks. i feel a profound amo sadness. >> i'm angry. this is a fight we need to not give up. >> reporter: the confusion and chaos kicked off just days ago, after the state supreme court ruled that an abortion ban from 1864, before arizona was even an official state, could go into effect. >> the law's

the state legislature passed the controversial measure yesterday. it comes a year after three children and three adults were killed in a school shooting in nashville. protesters inside the state capitol chanted "blood on your hand" after the vote. school administrators and police would know who was carrying guns, but not parents and other teachers. teachers would need gun permits, background checks, rather, mental health evaluations, and 40 hours of training. >>> breaking overnight, the senate passed a bill as part of a broader foreign aid package for ukraine and israel that could impact tiktok. it includes proifvisions that would force bytedance to sell the the app or face a ban in the u.s. the house has approved the measure. president biden says he'll sign it today. >>> and the fda says samples of pasteurized milk on grocery store shelves have tested positive for remnants of the bird flu virus. health officials say that they are continuing to study the issue but stress there's no risk to consumers. it comes nearly a month after an avian influenza

the state legislature blocked an appeal yesterday.legality of the order and the state's governor attorney general's decision not to enforce it? >> well, first of all, this is the unsurprising consequence of the united states supreme court overturning roe v. wade and sending it back to the states, that now you have states saying, okay, we're going to do it our way. now, the governor yesterday said she was going to bring it to the legislature. you just heard the republicans blocked it. the attorney general said she's not going to enforce the law. the problem with that and, you know, she can do that is you have local district attorneys. you also have civil, you know, professional agencies that might fine the doctors. so it's going to be a big problem in arizona. abortion is on the ballot. that's not just a talking point. >> no, it certainly is in arizona and other states. we appreciate you this morning, former assistant district attorney for manhattan, christian catherine, i'm certain we'll be speaking to you again soon. >> ahead deliver

legislatures and supreme courts in these states are way more conservative than the electorate is. just look at alabama and ivf and look at what happened on the floor of the house. >> sure. conservative than where trump has been even though trump is the one who's put judges, not just some, the supreme court, but federal i'm just trying to be right now. sure. >> and and so when he says, well, this will be taken care of pretty quickly, it's very typical trump's speak. it's sorted, doesn't mean anything. it's a place holder that hopefully we'll move onto a different topic. you know, how many, how many inflation weeks did you are out infrastructure weeks as you cover actual number zero because they never happened we just kept being told in two weeks, it's going to be inflation week and it never really was, is a typical trump tap. get tactic. and he does it because he knows it can be successful form. >> well, zolan the bottom line here is that it is going to have to be decided at the ballot box in many of these places. the reality isn't, it will be in a way that could actually really im

what's on in the state legislatures, and they want to curb those state legislatures excesses of democracy, the way they labeled it. and that's it. those excesses. democracy are the major force in my opinion, of the major force in calling the convention. now, there are other problems with the of confederation. confederation. the you have to think of in 1776, 1778, when we create the articles. it's sort of like the eu and that's the way to understand it. you have 13 state house who see themselves as very independent with own sovereignty coming together for a few basic purposes the way the eu exists. there's no way that the eu can tamper too much with the sovereignty of. the people insofar as they do they drove england out of britain, out of the eu. each of those states sees itself as as independent and sovereign, and that's how the 13 states saw themselves. and so it's a very although it was a strong confederation as confederation, it was a confederation. what we got in 1787, it's almost extraordinary to explain. did such a strong national government emerge? we take it. granted, it seems th

we talked about the state legislature, but what's the city chipping in? absolutely you know, during the pandemic, live music venues were among the first to close, and they were among the last to reopen. and as they started to reopen, we were thinking about ways to better connect residents, workers and visitors to our live music and entertainment sector. and that's really the genesis of sf live. so what this series does is we've invited our live music venues from around san francisco to curate unique concert experiences in parks and plazas around the city, so you'll have concerts curated by rock venues like bottom of the hill, the great american music hall, jazz venues like mister tipples, a really exciting range of venues participating, and range of experiences you're going to get as part of this series. and what is i was going to say, what's the city chipping in here? or is that kind of a tba? the city is doing a lot of the legwork on the staff end to, to make this happen. and and the state money is going to the paying the talent and paying to produce a

and we see democratically elected state legislatures which are taking policy decisions which you deeplyyoung people to hormone treatments and other therapies. actually, i don't have an opinion on that, so i would ask you to be a little more cautious. i think young people deserve to explore their genders in a judgment—free environment, and i think they should take their time in figuring out who they want to be and how they want to be called and what kind of health care they need. what about education? ithink... you know, state legislatures are being much tougher in terms of restricting certain books and informations from the school curriculum. i think it's a good thing that people learn about human sexuality and that they understand the diversity of human sexuality, different sexual orientations... including information about transgender identity? of course. you see, donald trump is going to the people in 2024 saying this, and i'm going to quote him — "i'll ask congress to pass a bill establishing that there are only "two genders recognised by the government, male and female. "these are

state, local, state legislatures, governor's mansions. if they win the presidency, they will control a federal government that they can for instance order the fda to overturn the approval of abortion medication like mifepristone. take it off the shelves. they can revive another 19th century law still on the books. which is just fallen into disrepute and not used called the comstock act which outlaws mailing everything relate today abortion. the federal male would shut down the shipping of everything related to abortion. what would that do? how would that work? you might be saying it sounds a little farfetched to thaw out a dormant law from the 1800s. but that is literally what they just did in the arizona supreme court yesterday. so, we are now seeing the spectacle of arizona republicans running for office. take for instance, this candidate. you know her. kari lake. she lost the race for governor to katie hobbs in 2022 though she never conceded. she is now running for senate against rue began gallego. yesterday in the wake of the supreme

legislatures to go ahead and just reconvene and send up a state, a slate of electors which itself would have been subject to legal challenge, of course, for them to pressure mike pence to count these illegitimate votes and worse comes to worse, like you just said, throw things to the 12th amendment but i will say even with the fraudulent electors, even if they might have some of them at the beginning thought, maybe this is a legit scheme as tom said, by the time they voted they did not get even, even after that, we had in wisconsin someone from the republican party flying out to d.c. on january 5th to try to make sure that that fraudulent slate got to mike pence and in one of her text she says i feel like a drug dealer, lol. >> wasn't that also were someone past the list to ron johnson to get to mike pence? and he was the one carrying in the center of wisconsin. i was just giving it to the vice president. i don't really know. someone gives you a the block bag and you carry over to the vice president whatever it is going to be. can i just say this? tom, the other thing that strikes me. i

we as the arizona state legislature are sending the biden slate of electors. the governor, was then the next individual who is a part of that pressure campaign and folks will recall when he later that month in december was literally signing the certificate that biden had won the state of arizona, his phone rang and it was donald trump that was calling him. and he turned it other and left it on mute. so this in the state of arizona was the length to the means in which these individuals, the chairwoman of the state party as well as the rnc committee man, tyler boyer, went. and now we know it's an extension of this. of course, kari lake was -- i should be clear was not a part of this indictment here, but they are -- this is for all intents and purposes the republican party of the state of arizona. >> absolutely. >> now in a critical moment for the state of arizona and the republican party, just six months out from a general election, they have this indictment on their hands. it's just a complicating scene and one that i think that we're only beginning to wholly u
