the historic victory for white life in the supreme court yesterday. >> you heard her clapping and others. she made a reference to quote white life. her office says she misspoke. it touches like so many of the issues on what exactly it is people are cheering for. we want to show you that before the hour was up. the reed out is next. >> tonight -- >> definitely believe this is not over. i do. i think he just said the quiet part out loud. >> the he, vice president harris referring to is of course justice clarence thomas. who wants the court to take away more rights. yet another example of how the cruelty is the point for republicans. the human suffering from the court decision is already becoming apparent. also tonight.

january 6 committee new surprise. new evidence requiring a special hearing tomorrow. first, over the weekend, thousands of people took to the streets to protest the supreme court decision. sweeping away the rights of millions of americans. the new poll show that a majority of americans oppose the ruling. republicans know it's unpopular. they're attempting to make the truly ludicrous claim they are the party that cares about women. compassionate conservativism. >> look, you know the republican party should do now, it should use this victory if you see it that way to change itself and become a party that helps with women, change its reputation. become a party that helps women and children. becomes responsible. >> you know it's a bad idea when the entire panel cannot help but

laugh out loud on live tv. that claim republicans could possibly support women, right now. it falls apart immediately. after south dakota governor said she wants to help support mothers in her state, abc cited a study showing the 14 states with the most restrictive abortion laws also had the worst maternal and child health outcomes. south dakota being one of the states. here's how she responded. >> what do you mean when you say the mothers will never be alone? >> i would say that the facts on the ground are that south dakota is doing a lot to coordinate with non-profits. with churches. and also the state in a new way by launching a web site and committing to end legislative session to support the mothers is incredibly powerful. >> yeah, that's right. all the women in america need to spiel supported by government that oens them is a web site. while they're hoping they can get away with the fake support of women, they are tripling down

on their roe victory. also saying she would like to ban medication abortion. which will likely be the next big legal battle. with attorney general saying the doj would fight any effort to abortion pills. and travels must be able to seek care. brainstorms ways to criminalize traveling across state laws for abortion. republicans really want is a nationwide abortion ban. and former vice president is leading that charge. mitch mcconnell said today unlike what he said before, he didn't foresee a nationwide ban. no one believes that and said the opposite before. also a right wing group is pushing for model legislation that would go beyond punishing abortion providers. calling for the use of rico laws against anyone with any involvement with someone accessing abortion. mailing or transporting abortion

pills or giving advice online about how to self-administer. despite republicans going out of they way to claim this is not about punishing women, a senior fellow at the heritage foundation has already suggested that women who have abortions should be committed to mandatory psychiatric custody. off to the psych ward they go. once all of our abortion rights are taken away, birth control and same sex marriage are next. as justice clarence thomas was clear about in his opinion last week. so we should expect to hear many more republican claims they are here to support women. voters need to listen. and to more of what they're actually planning to do. with me now, jason johnson the professor of journalism and politics. and host of the pod cast a word. nyu law prefer and msnbc legal analyst. and chair of the religious studies program at university of pennsylvania.

thank you for being here. jason, i found this really funny. watching the various republicans go on the various sunday shows saying, we really love women. we'll have a web site for them. meanwhile, in the real world, talking to a bunch of the strategists and one of them said the following. this is not a conversation we want to have. this is john thomas the republican strategist on house campaigns across the country. we want to have a conversation with a the economy. a conversation about joe biden. about anything else besides roe. this is a losing issue for republicans. he's right. correct? >> it's a losing issue for republicans. it's a winning issue for democrats. if they actually use it. i can talk about this on a very practical way into the fall. you have an incoming school year this fall. you have people going off to college. you have students going back to high school. all these lead to increases in needs for prenatal care and healthcare and we could see additional waves of the problem

like we have seen with covid. it becomes all the more apparent into election day. whether or not -- not just can the democrats message on this or convince people to do anything. the republicans not saying they've been doing this for 40 years. texas passed a bounty law. the democrats should have done something and they haven't done anything. you have to go out and say the republicans are wrong about this and we have a plan. warren, aoc. we have a set plan of what we can do going forward if you give us your votes and that maybe a way they can democrats can really capitalize on what's a human rights tragedy that occurred with an unelected court. >> right. the court seem to know and not care they were acting against the public will. they are obviously religious and decided this is their belief system and impose it. they did another case today, praying in school and making the kids pray, fine. we know where they're coming

from. to make it very clear, 57% of people who were polled on this issue believe the decision was politically motivated and not motivated by the law of the land. 56% said they are concerned of the decision could jeopardize the right to contraception or same sex relationships. half say the decision will make them more likely to vote for a congressional candidate who would back a law to restore the roe v. wade. that's theory good news for the democrats. my question is, i get a lot of people asking, but the democrats have power now. why aren't they doing anything? talk to me about the parameters of potentially legally what the justice department can do and the president can do? there's been a lot of talk about whether or not an executive order could impact this. whether or not the department of justice can enforce the ruling they came out and said no, it's legal to have these drugs. you can't make them illegal in the state. where do we stand in terms of what the states are able to do with bans and what the biden

administration could do in the doj could legally do? >> two questions in your question. so one is why does the supreme court insist on doing this given the majority of americans disagree. that's simply if you watch the real housewives of atlanta, this is a who gone check me boo, moment. who is going to check the supreme court? not congress. gridlocked. they can take steps to strip the court of the jurisdiction and take steps to expand the court. there aren't the votes to do that right now. the democratic majority in the senate is so tight. that then turns to what are the two branchs going to do independently? obviously there could be a federal effort to codify protections and statutory law. that will not happen if there's not a broader democratic majority. he could take steps to pass an executive order. that really falls on shaky grounds. we saw in the trump

administration and earlier with the executive orders aimed at requiring certain workplaces to have vaccine and testing mandates urntd the osha statute. the real question for the administration is if they push on the question of executive power, do they not only lose at the supreme court eventually but when they lose, they not only lose on this question of abortion but the broader question of the administrative state and government ability to regulate through agencies more broadly. there's a lot at stake. this comes down to something has to be done. a symbolic grand gesture. but in the end, we can't really rely on government to save us. we have to get out there and we have to vote. we have to recognize the republicans have been disciplined on this. they have been voting and were losing and they still came out when the court had david suitor and kennedy and o connor. people who were wobbly on the core conservative issues. that didn't stop conservatives from coming out to vote.

they knew they would eventually get what they wanted now they have. >> you are right. thank you for saying that. that is the difference between voters on the right and left. the right never give up. they don't get tired. decade after decade they lost ask lost until they won. and in the process took over state houses, state senates. and governor ships so they are positioned to take ownership of the about half the women in the country. 48% of the women now live in red states. you are talking about the fact that those state legislatures, the women in the states are their property. they can do whatever they want. it's about trying to convince voters you are going to need to switch the people out and vote in prosecutors who won't prosecute you and state reps and senators who won't destroy you and governors who won't veto your rights. it's a complicated argument. which is added to the religious argument.

you write a lot about it and the far right wing of the church. mike pence who sees hips as sort of the the head of that church on earth. other than trump. he is written this. he said this, now that roe v. wade has been consigned to the ash heap of history. a new arena in the cause of life i merged and sangty of life to resolve we will take the defense of the unborn and support of women in crisis pregnancy centers. having been given this second chance for life. we must not rest and relent until the life is restored blah blah blah. he's making it clear and mitch mcconnell has said in the past if they get the senate, they're going to have to please the far right base of the republican party giving them the next thing they want. a contraception ban, bans on guy marriage and marble abortion ban. >> exactly. what everybody needs to understand, i want to come back to the vote thing, you won't be able to vote your way out of

this. it will take more than voting to get out of this situation. that's number one. number two, this is has been a long game. i said it on twitter back when the first announced in may that this has been going on since the 1970s. before the 1970s. this is a project. and the project has been done lock step with both republicans and conservative christians. evangelical and catholics. and you have to understand you are reading right now a juggernaut. nobody bloefed this could happen and it happened. what mike pence is toing is picking up the ball when the ball is going to eventually go anyway. which is we want to get the across the nation. we want to make sure that other laws get codified. and this is all on a religious base i basis. religion is just a shield for the grab. for many people in the pews, they believe they are pro-life and you should be taking care of

a child right from conception. but for the people who are moving this who are political, they know this is a motivation tool for their voters to come out and what are democrats going to motivate people with right now? you cannot do this. you cannot see change until the democrats understand that they need to mobilize their voters just as much as republicans mobilize their religious voters. >> indeed. mobilize them by making it very clear who you are facing. i want to play mary miller. she's an illinois representative. and this is how she celebrated the victory of roe overturned. >> president trump, on behalf of all the maga patriots in america, i want to thank you for the historic victory for white life in the supreme court. >> there was one lady in the back looking down like what?

of course her team tried to take it back. this is the lady who said hitler said things that were right and a husband is a 3%er. she has a 3% sticker on her truck parked in the parking lot. kind of hard to the reality is, can democrats make the case that we're dealing with religious extremism in a coherent way so voters understand exactly what they're facing. >> well, they need to talk to people like me. and that hasn't happened. it could have. i also think that part of this is a set piece. it's not just about roe v. wade. it's about one six too. you had that at a insurrection at the capitol. this is all together. until people understand that you have to talk about religion and politics together, and not just think people are being stupid because they believe in this, actually understand this is an organizational tool for them to

destroy part of american democracy, destroy the right of women and destroy the rights of people who need to have chances that they actually want to put their god over, when you understand that, do you understand how -- >> jason, when the lady says it's a victory for white life. it's an easy target. i'm not sure democrats would play that or hit the republicans on that. republicans would play that over and over again. and never let democrats forget it. >> look. joe biden said they're going to put you back in change and you ain't black ended up on tv for 48 weeks. of course democrats will be to too weak to handle this. here's the thing. i don't think the democrats need to convince the american people that this is a power grab. they need to convince their own party. they seem to be the only people who don't understand how dangerous this is. you have all sort of people,

black, white, gay, straight, muslim, you have people of all kind across america marching everywhere from the capitol building to the target parking lot. everybody out here living areal american life knows we're in danger. i don't think chuck schumer gets it. and sometimes nancy pelosi doesn't understand. i don't think joe biden does. they need to figure out how much danger they're in and serve the constituents that put them in office to solve the problems. >> you know what would help, vice president of the united states could go on and do an interview and say yeah, we think they should get rid of the filibuster and do something to secure voting rights and get rid of codify roe. that would have been the easy go. the administration is the administration. up next, women are already suffering the consequences of the supreme court decision. facing new threats to privacy. today's big surprise from the january 6 committee. o privacy.

today's big surprise from the january 6 committee.

the unknown is not empty. it's a storm that crashes, and consumes, replacing thought with worry. but one thing can calm uncertainty. an answer. uncovered through exploration, teamwork, and innovation. an answer that leads to even more answers. mayo clinic. you know where to go.

we have to be able to repair the enamel on a daily basis. with pronamel repair toothpaste, we can help actively repair enamel in its weakened state. it's innovative. my go to toothpaste is going to be pronamel repair.

psst. girl. you can do better. my gok. wow.thpaste i'm right here. and you can do better, too. at least with your big name wireless carrier. with xfinity mobile, you can get unlimited for $30 per month on the nation's most reliable 5g network. they can even save you hundreds a year on your wireless bill, over t-mobile, at&t and verizon. wow. i can do better. yes, you can. i can do better, too. break free from the big three and switch to xfinity mobile. when people come, they say they've tried lots of diets, nothing's worked or they've lost the same 10, 20, 50 pounds over and over again. they need a real solution. i've always fought with 5-10 pounds all the time. eating all these different things and nothing's ever working. i've done the diets, all the diets. before golo, i was barely eating but the weight wasn't going anywhere. the secret to losing weight and keeping it off is managing insulin and glucose. golo takes a systematic approach to eating

that focuses on optimizing insulin levels. we tackle the cause of weight gain, not just the symptom. when you have good metabolic health, weight loss is easy. i always thought it would be so difficult to lose weight, but with golo, it wasn't. the weight just fell off. i have people come up to me all the time and ask me, "does it really work?" and all i have to say is, "here i am. it works." my advice for everyone is to go with golo. it will release your fat and it will release you. led to chaos and confusion for individual seeking to obtain abortion care. in the after math of friday's ruling it's banned in at least 11 states. with trigger laws or preexisting bans. on friday, patients in many of the affected states learned of the change in realtime. and staff forced to turn away desperate patients already in

the waiting room. some cried and begged for help. the director of one clinic the alabama women's center spoke to nbc news. >> it was heartbreaking. the women the emotions that they were going through. it was just it went down to my soul. it was everything from people that were upset, angry. people breaking down crying. people in disbelief. people trying to focus and figure out started getting on the phone and figure out where they can go from here. it was just a raw, broad spectrum of emotion. >> meanwhile, legal battles over laws in some states are ongoing. today judges temporarily blocked enforcement of trigger laws in utah and louisiana. allowing services to resume at

least for now. also today texas abortion providers sued to block enforcement of that states trigger ban. expected to take place -- effect 30 days after the high court ruling. the hearing is scheduled for tomorrow. joining me now corporate vice president of whole women's health. thank you for being here. i know it has clinics around the country. talk about what we're hearing. just what i'm reading just in some states. texas saying everything has stopped. abortion care completely ceased. your company four locations in texas and austin, fort worth. there's eight abortion clinics in minnesota at all and struggling to meet the state demand. i know whole women operates there as well. tell me what's going on. >> thank you for the opportunity to speak with you. it is incredibly devastating. we as soon as the decision was issued, ratified the decision by

saying that abortion was illegal in texas. which forced us to close clinics. there are currently no abortion providers in texas. offering appointments. we are still open. we want to help our patients get the care they need. we have been talking to patients about where they can find services. helping them with logistic arrangements. we have a program called the wait finder that does that. which is help parkts get to where they need to go to get the services the state has e rat kated in their home community. >> the drive to do that, assuming somebody can get a ride at all. if you are in texas you have it drive 500 miles. in mississippi it's 495 miles. in louisiana it's the most of all. 666 miles. in florida, you have to drive

575 miles. how are women supposed to get to a clinic? out of state. >> it's incredibly difficult. what we're going to see is that a small percentage of people will be able to make the travel necessary. the rest of the community is probably going to be forced into unwanted pregnancy. forced into parenthood. it is very difficult to arrange travel. not only within the state but outside of the state. texas is very vast and difficult to travel. we're also take into consideration there are a lot of immigration restrictions for people that are working and living in south texas that have to consider those as well. with check points and many keep them from being able to leave their to get basic healthcare. >> during the trump administration, when the administration official policy was to separate mothers from

their children, sometimes breast-feeding babies. we did hear a lot of reports including from aclu of predatory behavior towards those children. and trying to pull them into adoption. and put them up for adoption. and maybe pull them into the system. are you concerned that that might happen again? if women are being forced in texas and florida, louisiana, into unwanted pregnancy, they will be preyed upon by for profit adoption agencies wanting to take the children and dpif them to families who are claiming there's not a sufficient supply of infants. as amy coney barrett said in the supreme court argument. >> i'm concerned about all the consequences that the impact of this law is going to take place. when talking about not only forcing people into parenthood. but being preyed on and just

like you explained. also with the maternal health rates and mortality rates in texas that are already incredibly alarming. all of those things are great concern for our community as well. >> there's no doubt women are going to die. maternal health rates are terrible in the united states. women of color. let's talk about another thing. this is another thing that we're concerned about. there are crisis pregnancy centers that compete with entities like whole women's health. they are not providing abortions. they trying to get women to not do abortions. there have been stories and concerns that they maybe pulling data from the women taking information from them that could then be used to try to prosecute women in places like texas. do you have concerns about that and have you heard any sort of horror stories along those lines? >> i am concerned and i have --

we have been dealing with this the issues for a long time. the crisis centers basically lie to people, they lie to patients. they misguide them and they offer free services. by people that are not necessarily trained or professional healthcare providers. they lie to patients about the length of the pregnancy. and provide a will the of misinformation on ongoing basis to keep them from being able to access services they need. they're always finding new creative ways to lie to patients. and to cause harm. >> let me ask you this. whole women's health, it was actually the litigant in a case. this is in 2016. it was actually one of the cases that reaffirmed roe v. wade. which has been reaffirmed over and over again. since 1973.

i want to get you as a provider and somebody who represents whole overturned? >> it's ironic today the anniversary of the victory. it was completely devastating. not surprising. i think that over the last ten months we have seen the many opportunities the supreme court had to intervene in texas. and they didn't. and so there's a message there in the inaction. i think that further more with the leaked opinion we saw the writing on the wall and knew that this was not going to be a good decision. and i think some of us being naive still hoped and still believed. those of us that are immigrants and left our country to come to the states for a better, brighter future.

did not ever expect this to happen here. to see it it was almost unbelievable. even though we were prepared and we have seen the consequences the actions. i know that i was still holding out for hope. and was incredibly devastated. and disappointed. >> yeah. unfortunately i think that it was not surprising. it was not surprising. but like yourself and the i'm the daughter of immigrants and the thought the united states would be a country where there's less religious freedom and religious rule, minority religious rule at that. it's going to be shocking to a lot of people around the world. they'll see america in a new light and not a good way. thank you for all you do. still ahead democratic leaders are shouting it from the rooftop. women's reproductive rights are on the ballot this november. u.s. senate candidate and former north carolina supreme court chief justice, joining me next. t

the abortion death rattle sweeping through the south. just got a lot louder and scarier. in most states in the region abortion is either banned or soon to be illegal. in some states like north carolina, access to abortion

remains. the battleground state is an out liar in the south. it has a democratic governor as well as obamacare. one of the only states in south without a voter restriction law. for now. the legislature is controlled by republicans but there's not enough of them to override vetoes from the democratic governor. which is why voting for the state level offices is that much more important. north carolina is one of the last states in the south to protect a women's right to abortion. that could change come november. when voters decide whether to remain the graduate out liar or march towards mississippi where abortion will be illegal in ten days. joining me now a former north carolina supreme court justice. chief justice. now the democratic nominee for u.s. senate in the state. thank you for being here. and i think north carolina is a really interesting cautionary tale. in a good way. in the sense that north carolina was the last to go in terms of republicans taking over the whole south and state

legislatures and governor ships. but now democrats have a foothold in terms of the governor ship and beat back the worst things republicans could do. for you, how important is it to communicate that to voters in other states? there are three other states where it happened, kentucky, louisiana, same thing. they have obamacare and healthcare. because they have been able to hold onto power. is that communicated to the average voter in the states? >> i would just, thank you, joy, it's good to be here. i know it's so important that we focus on the senate races. it's so important we have senators in the senate who are committed to fighting for the people of north carolina. and upholding the rule of law and the constitution for this country. i do think that people certainly in north carolina appreciate the magnitude of the election.

and certainly know that this court recent opinion helped to highlight the magnitude. >> i know you are running for senate, i want to go back. you were a supreme court justice. you won statewide already. it's clear you can win statewide. you were elected chief justice. in a state with an elected governor that is a democrat. people understand in north carolina they can elect democrats to statewide office. do you think that the party has been good at explaining to people that down ballot from chief justice and governor, those state reps and state senators the power they have to now literally decide what women can do with their bodies. do you think the party communicated that? >> it is so important that all of us understand that we need to elect people in the senate, in

the state house, in our local government who are committed to protecting a woman's right to reproductive decisions about her own health. without government interference. and we know that politicians to include my opponent ted bud are trying to take this right away. the court decision is certainly very disappointing. these elections are important. i really do think that people in north carolina understand the magnitude of all of the elections. >> let's talk about the opponent. they actually made a decision that was quite unusual to take down an attack ad against grow ted bud. the ad treated you the same way that judge ketanji brown jackson was treated by republicans in her confirmation hearing. making disgusting attacks upon you and trying to use the same groomer thing. you are not running gens a regular old republican.

you are running against a full maga republican. how has that played out in term of voters talking to you? is that extreme magaism is working in north carolina? >> i am very thankful that many of the tv stations did take down the ad. the nrsc vowed to spend millions against me in the selection to distort my judicial record and i have been a judge for over 20 years. and they don't spend that kind of money unless they know they can lose. and that we can win. what we know is that people are so tired of this petty partisan politics. they want to know the next senator will fight for the issues that people care about. people need access to good quality healthcare, good paying jobs. strong economy and so much more. and they really are disinterested in this kind of misrepresentation and really

distortion and demagogue ri. it's horrible. >> let me ask you if you are elected, would you support getting rid of the filibuster in order to codify roe v. wade as law and pass voting rights? >> the first thing i know we absolutely must do is focus on the elections in november. it is imperative that we make sure that we have a senate that will fight hard to support women's reproductive health. it's a constitutional right. i have been a judge for 20 years. i know as a do so many of us that roe determined the constitutional right for a woman to make this own very private right without government interference. it's important we have a senate. now if we get to the place and after the election and it is important that we lift the filibuster and move forward on

legislation and the majority of americans really want to have pushed through the senate. >> thank you for being specific. i think that's the thing that is so frustrating to people. politicians are not specific and overpromise and underdeliver. if you are saying you would be willing to set aside filibuster to pass a codify and voting right, that's important for people to know. last thing, do you communicate with your when you are talking to folks that if republicans take over the united states senate, if you are not elected, and if warnock is not reelected and democrats don't get votes, do you tell folks they're going to pass a national abortion ban? >> i tell them is that -- especially now that we have seen the gut punch of an opinion from the united states supreme court. which this is the first time in our nations history that a constitutional right has been taken away. what i tell them is it's horrible precedent.

and we have a whole lot at risk. rights are at risk. civil rights. and all of us need to feel a sense of urgency around this election. and we must be engaged in this election. so many of the issues that impact the people in north carolina are not partisan. the access to healthcare, needing to have prescription drugs lowered. these are not partisan issues and people in north carolina need somebody who will fight for them, stand for what's right and lead courageously and represent the people of the great state. >> united states senate candidate. the chief justice in the state. one of the most important races because it is a toss up. this is a woman who can actually win statewide. so please pay attention to this race. thank you so much, appreciate you being here. coming up next the january 6 committee announced a surprise hearing for tomorrow. stay with us. tomorrow tomorrow stay wh itus ♪♪

the nine remembers would return from their districts rather than wait until after the recess. joining me now congressional reporter for guardian. is there a hint at all what kind of witness this is? is it a potentially someone from the trump administration, one of the attorneys, any kind of clues whatsoever? >> i think we have more information right now as to who it's not going to be. as opposed to who it is going to be. you can do a sort of process of elimination. according to to my sourcing, moe brooks from alabama is not expected to testify before the committee. nor the former white house counsel. we don't see pence will testify. that narrows down the list of the people. the one thing we know based on the notice, it's an emergency hearing. they are convening this hearing, members flying back in a bit of an emergency. which suggests to me that they're concerned about two things, first of all the concern about potential leaks about what

could come in the hearing or video footage. the other thing is potentially that if the name of the person who testifying leaks than trump or his allies might get to the witness. they might try to obstruct the testimony in some way. and they want to protect against that. so, i think that is much information you need to make concrete. and say we have it now. >> you said that it is definitely not millbrook's, but there were other members of congress, who also reportedly, at least raised the pardon question. we haven't seen a member of congress testify yet. but i just wanna play some of the members who allegedly did ask for a pardon. dick a look. >> mr. gates had reach out to me to ask if a meeting with mr. meadows occurred, about receiving -- >> the day all contact to? >> not all of them. >> so you mentioned mr. gates, mr. brooks? >> mr. biggs did.

mr. jordan talked about congressional pardons, but he never asked me for one. mr. gohmert asked me for one as well. mr. perry asked me for one as well -- >> mr. perry? >> yes he did. >> did marjorie taylor greene contact to? >> no. she didn't contact me. i heard that she asked white house counsel's office for a pardon. from mr. phillip, but i didn't frequently communicate with my screen. >> if you think about who could be scrambled quickly, to potentially testify, and who hasn't testify as yet, you do have multiple members of congress, including the congressman who recommended jeffrey clark to become the new head of the department of justice. is there a sense just from your reporting, at least sort of the way that the hill was five being, that the idea here could be the reason for concern with security, is that a member of

congress is somehow implicated in the testimony tomorrow? >> i don't know if we can read that much into it right now. i think it's still very fluid. yeah, i think the committee is trying to establish exactly what will it hold for tomorrow. in fact, that member of congress assisted find that it's possible. i think the most likely person to testify, it's probably going to be mo brooks, but he tells me tonight -- i don't expect that to happen tomorrow. i think the vibe on the hill is really looking towards a documentary film that has emerged in recent days. you know, alex holder, the british filmmaker, unprecedented access to trump and his gets. and i think the committee is gonna be focused on is a number of phone calls that took place before the election, the night of the first debate that caused the filmmaker, who managed to catch on camera, and make some news here. eric trump on the phone with a person that's unidentified, talking about how they should vote. and he specifically saying, quote, hopefully, you are voting in florida as opposed to

other states, that you've mentioned. so, it's not actually what's going on with that conversation, but the committees very focused on this event that happened at the trump national hotel at the 29th of september. so we might see more of that tomorrow. >> interesting. the other thing that broke today is that john eastman, another person that could be a very interesting here, that is phone was seized by federal agents. do you have any updates on that? >> it was a really interesting seizure, right? because at least in his filing, it was at the fbi agent, six fbi agents came and sees his phone, they produced a warrant eventually, and they made him a lock his phone. it's not exactly clear the circumstances surrounding that. but i think it's interesting that they served the one of the doj office of inspector general. that's really interesting, and it points to more of an internal vote, because we know the doj has been investigating trump's corruption of the justice department around trying to overturn the 2020

election. so it may suggest investigation. it may be criminal, and it meme not be criminal. he's been maybe a target. he may be a fact went but this is not clear. but the fact that it comes to the oig is very interesting. >> very interesting indeed. hugo lowell, thank you very much. up next, bright celebrations this year took place under a big dark cloud. the conservative supreme court majorities ruling on women's reproductive rights. and alternative freedoms, well, are they next? we'll break that down, after this. , well are they next? we'll break that down, after this
