7:00 pm
of diet products before. i've tried detox, i've tried teas, i've tried all different types of pills, so i was skeptical about anything working because it never did. but look what golo has done. look what it has done. i'm in a size 4 pair of pants. go golo. greetings, you're watching (soft music) simone. some voters are getting frustrated to democrat response to overturning roe v. wade. what is the strategy to protect women and a doctors. congresswoman jamila is here to talk about it. plus, the conversation going on in my republican friend group chats. some of them did not think overturning of roe means the end of freedoms that we know as law of the land. i'm talking same-sex marriage, concept in. they actually think that democrats are overreaching, but i refuse to be gas lit, y'all
7:01 pm
and so should you. do the right thing, no, i'm not talking about spike lee's movie. that is the message that cassidy atkinson received before her bombshell testimony to the january six committee. could this be witness intimidation, i am simone sanders, y'all, and i have something to say. it has been over one week since five republican dominated supreme court justices ruled that women's bodily autonomy should be left to the mercy of state government. the explosive decision overturning roe v. wade as already reached -- it is only going to get worse, y'all. a recent washington report detailed how multiple anti--- and their allies and state -- to block people from traveling
7:02 pm
-- meanwhile, the new york times report laid out the growing efforts of so-called abortion abolitionists, these are folks that are working to punish women for choosing not to undergo childbirth and all its consequences. women and girls are going to die as a result of the ruling. democratic voters are begging the congress to act. and a friday tour threat, how speaker nancy pelosi ensured folks that democrats are exploring multiple options, including efforts to protect that risk -- and the right to travel freely throughout the united states, but is it going to be enough. here to discuss is democratic congresswoman out of washington, amelia jayapal. she's the chair of the house progressive caucus. welcome to congresswoman, we have witnessed one of the most consequential supreme court sessions in a century. a lot of voters out there, frankly, they are frustrated with some of the party's response, i'm talking about the fund raising emails that we all heard about, the lack of action specifically from the united
7:03 pm
states senate. as chair of the progressive caucus, congresswoman, i want to appreciate the frustration. >> simone, first of, all it's great to see you, i'm so glad you have the show. look, i think -- everyone's right to be frustrated. this is a terrible situation we are in, a catastrophic decision from the republican controlled, extremists, radical supreme court, to overturn president that has been the law of the land for 50 years. and it will throw women and pregnant people are across the country into complete chaos not to mention our economy. now, in terms of democrats, i do think that we were complacent, we fought for the last 50 years, we thought this was president, it was established as constitutional right. it was taken if not once, but twice at the supreme court. and we thought we were okay, even though, even though many of us were saying, this is a plan from the republicans that has been in place for 30 years. but i think for now, simone, would we have to focus on is
7:04 pm
really three things. one, we need to protect access as much as possible i know in my. state, and california and oregon, states across the country where it is legal, we are doing everything we can to make it possible for people to travel into our states. and sort of aligned with that is what the administration can do to make sure particularly around medications abortion, that that is available and that the doj is helping to stop the prosecutions of people going across state lines. >> congresswoman, can i jump in really quick? because i know for a fact that the united states house of representatives has acted. you all continue to act. you all passed the witness health protection last year, before that, it was the filibuster in the senate. so i know that the states are doing things. your state, washington, has joined in this trifecta, if you will, with california and oregon. but i'm worried about any bills
7:05 pm
that would go forward in congress coming out of the house going into the senate, it's gonna feel when it reaches the senate. so what more can the members of congress to? particularly the members of the house? >> that's exactly right. we have to perform the vision by passing the bill so we show the american people that if we get two more votes in the senate to overturn the filibuster it's why it was so important that the president said when he, did that he supports overturning the filibuster for codification of row just as he did for voting, writes we have to paint that vision for people so we will pass a whole package of bills. we will pass the women's health protection act again. but the third piece is what we do to really build the movement. and this is i think going to be important. i floated the idea of a national strike. i think we have to show, simone, the power that we have as women. it is not just the nine months that a fetus is growing in our bodies, it is the ability for us to know that our lives matter, even from the moment of
7:06 pm
conception, and that we can participate in the economy and planner futures. so i hope that we will be seeing over the next several months a series of actions leading to november that remind people about the vacuum that the senate has recreated by refusing to overturn the filibuster and the fact that we need two more democratic senators. >> talk about it, congresswoman. before you, go i want to make sure i ask about january six, particularly tuesday's hearing. after cassidy hutchinson's really explosive testimony, the committee also subpoenaed former white house counselor pat cipollone. how do you think hutchinson's testimony changed the course of the investigation the committee is involved in? >> it was groundbreaking. talk about a courageous young woman who came forward and did the right thing when all of her bosses were not doing the right thing. and she told it, she was clear. and it was stunning because it connected so many of the dots. it connected the dots that
7:07 pm
trump knew that these people were armed, he incited the mob, he wanted to go with them to the capitol, he knew that they were trying to get weapons in, people believed the vice president deserve to be hanged, he attempted a coup. and i think that is what cassidy hutchinson's testimony so clearly showed as well as highlighting her courage versus the cowardice of people who are putting their own politics and the big lie over the constitution and our democracy. >> she was only 25 years old. congresswoman, prom maya jarrett paul, thank you so much for being here today. >> thank you simone. >> with me to discuss it all, jessica post, she is the president of the democratic legislative committee. she jill rubin, and share singleton is here, welcome to you all. i want to start with looking at
7:08 pm
greetings to everyone. i want to start by looking at the ruling and what it means for future rights. i want you to listen to these comments from former judge w bush staffer, sarah fog, and on a panel on the weak person of chuck tiled. this was yesterday. >> it's not about getting rid of gay marriage. you have one supreme court justice -- won about >> kept packs? and whatever -- >> yes, but i think democrats started to overreach. when you start talking about protecting prescription drugs in the mail and figuring out some strategies to get abortions on it and indian reservations, it looks like abortion at all costs under -- that's not where the country. is sure, the country may see on his face, we don't want this row overturned, they don't want to -- that is not where the majority of the country's. >> jessica, i was on that panel. you all saw my face.
7:09 pm
are people wrong to worry about other laws in jeopardy. was i being gaslight? >> you're absolutely being gaslight. we thought this way, remember the republican party has a long history of lying to the press and also the supreme court nominees essentially lied went under oath and the eunice senate. so absolutely. thomas also mentioned -- the ruling that protects metropolitan, he also mentioned griswold and connecticut for both control. that was his way of saying you are hysterical, that is not going to happen. and the reality is, it's happened every time. they also said, oh no, we are going to -- we wouldn't challenge a free and fair election, so i don't believe him at all. and also, look, in the state legislatures across the country, republicans are -- want to take action and make same-sex marriage illegal, ban
7:10 pm
iuds. all of these are happening in the states as well as an undercurrent from what's happening here federally. absolutely, won't turn to you, because it is no secret that the republican party apparatus has organized for decades to rollback roe. now that we achieve that, i wonder if it is backfiring in some way or could it backfire, particularly as it relates to women, because overturning roe is not hurt women who voted for joe biden or democratic women, effects women period. >> sure, no, that is a good point. it is so funny that you bring that up because i talked to a friend of mine maybe a week ago right after this decision came out from the court. he is a republican person in georgia who raised a lot of money, knows very -- he called and said that a prominent donor based in georgia called him because his wife is so upset with the decision. his wife does not support
7:11 pm
abortion, but her problem was that she did not like that the court was taking the decision away from the woman. my friend jason, he said, sure i'm concerned that this may backfire on us in the long run as it contained pertains to suburban woman, what are your thoughts on that? i said, man, i think you are right, we are playing with fire. we may win in the interim, but it is the long term that i think some republicans are not looking at. >> i did not even speak to shermichael for the show, i think we are something going on here. i want to turn this to this idea of putting a check on the supreme court because there are some congressional democrats calling for that to be done, particularly, congresswoman alexandra ocasio-cortez. she made the case of supreme court over say on the late show. take a listen to this. >> the supreme court has engaged in the [applause] overreaching of its
7:12 pm
authority and denying the human and civil rights of any pregnant person or person that could become pregnant in the united states of america. they have engaged in overreach, and it is the responsibility of the president and congress to put the supreme court in check because they are dealing with -- [applause] >> jennifer, what do you think oversight like that could look like? >> by the way, i just have to say that the woman who is the donor, what did she think repealing roe was other than taking the decision away from the woman? -- well -- >> shocked that there is gambling going on around there with the republican party. i think aoc is right. the republicans have abused and distorted the supreme court, such that it is no longer operating like a court. it is operating like a radical judiciary that is completely out of touch with american people. what do you do when that
7:13 pm
happens? it all begins with getting rid of the filibuster. once you get rid of the filibuster, if you have the house and you had a white house, then you can look at many kinds of reform. i don't think we should expand the court, because you can get one-upmanship, but they should have term limits. if they will act like politicians, why should they have lifetime equipments? politicians in our country did not serve for life. i also think that we can adjust, as it explicitly says so in the constitution, congress can takes away their jurisdiction. that has some ruling on state constitutional laws. i think there are lots of things that can be done, but this begins with them stopping any pretense of judicial constraint or precedent, this would not be happening if they have not been -- it goes back to 150 years of legal precedent. they want to take us back to 1860.
7:14 pm
that is what they set. that is what we cannot allow to happen. these elections coming up are absolutely critical. referendum in the states for pro-choice forces, very critical. >> you noah, jennifer, don't go anywhere, well that because you are staying with us, so our just go and shermichael. we have more to discuss. coming up, we are gonna get into the impact that the general six testimony and how it is affecting voters. and we will talk about the jaw-dropping, jaw-dropping exchange on the right over fact with fiction. we have that next video discussion. first my colleague is with us with the other top news stories. hey cory. >> hey simone, stories we're watching history, more travel headaches for people trying to catch a holiday we can play. there have already been more than 600 canceled flights today, more than 3200 delays. that is for flights in or to the u.s.. does numbers are expected to keep climbing due to staff

7:18 pm
7:19 pm
they're a lot of bombshells dropped on january six. like getting some insight into just how determined than president donald trump was to join his support at the capitol for the insurrection. here is mike meadow's former aide, cassidy hutchinson, explaining how it actually went down. >> tony described him as being irate. the president said something to the effect of, i am the president, take me up to the capital, now. the president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. mr. engel grabbed his arm said, sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. we are going back to the west wing.
7:20 pm
>> we are back with our power packed power no, just, suppose jennifer reuben, and sheer singleton. how are they responding to this latest testimony? is it working? through >> i think in the conversations that we've heard, democrats across the country and -- they are understanding that this january 6th thing may have been worse than they thought. and the actions of president trump, it just proves more and more that this trump administration operated like an organized crime family, with the witness tampering and the actions toward the driver. so i think this is really going to fact voters perception of corruption, and mobilize democratic voters in november. >> jennifer, the committee closed at the last hearing with some very explosive allegations that trump allies actually contacted witnesses about their testimony. apparently cassidy hutchinson herself got a message from someone and desist but that
7:21 pm
message said, quote, a person let me know you have your deposition tomorrow. he wants me to let you know that he is thinking about you. he knows you're loyal, and you're going to do the right thing when you go for your deposition. do you think this could amount to witness tampering or intimidation in the court of law? -- >> absolutely. you are exactly right when you say that they operate like a organized crime ring here, nice career, you have, it would be a shame if anything happened to. it it's like music-y movie script kind of stuff. >> it sounds like it to me. i was again gossip that this happened at the end of the hearing. the vice chair at the hearing, this genie, she is running for reelection in wyoming, and she recently faced off with some of her competitors. and it was just crazy. i want you guys to hear what congresswoman cheney said towards the end of the debate with her opponents. take a listen.
7:22 pm
>> people know to know something about me. i will never put party above my duty to the country. i will never put party a get above my duty to the constitution. i swore north under god, and i will abide by the oath. i will not say something i knew was wrong simply to earn the votes of people and local sports. i'm asking for biden asking tender stand that i will never violate my oath of office and if you are looking for someone who, well you can vote for someone else on the stage. i will not. i will always put my oath first. >> now, another of those chinese competitors, they have broadcasted broadbased conspiracy theories and they have attacked this general in the committee. do you think the wyoming put republican parties to foregone or does this tunis of a chance here? >> -- i think it's ridiculous some of the things that they have done. this woman is as textbook conservative as they come, and i hope that voters realize that and vote for her over some of the other crazies.
7:23 pm
>> you actually -- i actually want to -- i think we have some time left. i want to go to this tweet for you, sure. michael because i want to circle back. you tweeted this, so several former associates who still have high-level positions within republican politics you all agree that the gop should seriously think about 2024 and will be the standard bearer for the republican party going forward after today's testimony. this is where i want to end. i want you to elaborate on this one, share michael, and i want the rest of the panel to leeway, and because this is connected to liz cheney. she has been the most visible republican here. to hold the president accountable. >> they think the stuff is crazy. in every single person, and you know, this we have been spoken about -- there's not a single person in politics, in the bubble, if you, will on capitol hill, that will not tell you that people are saying in background, they want the stuff to be over. they want to move on. they're just not saying it publicly.
7:24 pm
so while i think that they're a lot of ardent trump supporters that will always believe in the president, a lot of people on capitol hill are hoping that this hurts trump so that in 2024, there is someone else that republicans can put their money in support. >> jennifer reuben, quickly, i'm sure that a lot of people talk to your background, in off the record, i want to ask you to divulge your sources, but did you use here the same things? >> absolutely, and you seeing a lot of interest and ron desantis who is not picnic but it's representative of the fact that republicans are looking for another place to land. they won't pronounce trump, but they might find someone who is this crazy who are there aren't going to have to relitigate in 2020 about in the next presidential election. >> all, right jessica pose, i -- will thank you all for being here, jessica post, jennifer reuben, sure michael singleton, i appreciate your calls time. next, representation --
7:25 pm
even an imbalance cord, we're gonna talk about the newest supreme court justice, justice ketanji brown jackson. and we are also going to get into the major rulings you might have missed but you need to know about. we're going to be right back. t have missed but you need t have missed but you need to kno applebee's late night. because half off is just more fun. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. we're going to be right back
7:26 pm
7:27 pm
7:28 pm
7:29 pm
i, ketanji brown jackson, do you solemnly swear -- >> i ketanji brown jackson do solemnly swear -- >> to support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies, foreign and domestic -- >> that i will support the constitution of united states, foreign and domestic. >> nothing is going to snow my jury today, that was ketanji brown jackson being sworn in as the new justice of the united states supreme court. this is history, y'all. justice jackson is the first black woman to earn a seat at the table of the high score in the land. now, it only took 232 years, but the forces of black women
7:30 pm
will be heard. justice jackson happens to be walking into one of the most contentious times for the supreme court in our nation's history. this time has been described as the most conservative in more 90 years. we need to break it all down. i am joined by my cousin, shakira sanders. she is a professor at the college of law and contributor to scotus.com. thank you for being here. this court is now finally starting to look like america, now that a black woman is serving. how does justice jackson's arrival changed the conversation in the court? >> for one, i think we have to take note that we will now have four women on the u.s. supreme court, which is unprecedented. that alone is pretty noteworthy, in addition to the fact that we will have two women of color. now, i know for someone like me who teaches constitutional law every day, it will make a huge difference to be able to talk
7:31 pm
about cases were in by a black woman. >> absolutely, it took 232 years, but i am happy that we are here. let's talk about some of these cases though, because the supreme court decision to overturn roe v. wade really did make all the headlines this week. there were some other major cases that were decided. it horrified me and other folks out there. we cannot get into every single one of them. west virginia versus the epa and vega versus chico. want to start with west virginia, because the court in west virginia said that the epa cannot regulate powerplant missions. you are -- 1.7 billion tons of carbon monoxide billions of here -- tell us about the impact of this ruling as a relates to the pin. >> the major decision that the u.s. supreme court made in west virginia versus epa essentially
7:32 pm
that there was a real major question with regards to the way that the epa sought to change the way in which it regulated greenhouse gas emissions. with the court said is that you need clear congressional authority if the epa is going to enact these new ways of regulating. so, one could see this as the door opening for congress to create authority before the epa, another could see it given the contentious congress that we have, a full shutdown of the epa's ability to at least change the way it regulates greenhouse gas admissions. >> you said it, congress, very inactive, and by congress, i mean the senate. let's talk about vega. vega, the court said that law enforcement officers cannot be sued for not reading a suspect there miranda writes. they weighed in and said to
7:33 pm
stop the critical avenue for justice. shakir, i frankly think we have enough problems already with oversight for law enforcement officers. what is really going on here in this ruling? >> what is interesting in this case is that we were not really dealing with an issue about whether or not statements come in or out because there was a failure to give miranda warnings. the question is whether a federal civil rights action can be brought under 40 to usc 1983. with the court said in this case in a judgment written by alito is that violations of miranda did not provide a claim for federal civil rights action. why? because the courts says a violation of miranda is not the same as i've ally who ration of the fifth amendment against self-incrimination. this may be confusing to some people -- >> it's confusing to me, secure, it's confusing to me. >> miranda was designed to
7:34 pm
protect the right against self incrimination, but the court makes clear that this prophylactic rule called miranda does not equate to a constitutional violation under the fifth amendment, if there is a failure to give warnings. pretty interesting decision. >> i just think this is the lease, okay, i am still reeling from these cases. but i am holding on to the table for what is nor for the next session. there is one case in the next session about the legislators and their power over federal elections. there are two challenges to affirmative action, and there is one case that could potentially deploy lgbtq rights, it is too much. we already know how these cases will be decided? >> i think many people can read the tea leaves with regard to the rulings we saw this past two weeks, from the u.s. supreme court. we have more versus harper, which really questions whether or not a trial court can come up with a remedy when a state
7:35 pm
legislator restricting plan violates the state or federal constitution. of course, we have the challenges to affirmative action, which i will note, we did not hear very much about in the supreme court nomination. also, we have a case about whether or not a website design or can successfully bring a freedom of speech claim against colorado's antidiscrimination law, which permits individuals from denying services to same-sex couples. that case, however, will not question the free exercise clause. >> well, we will have to watch and see. sanders, thank you for making it all makes sense. appreciate time. >> thanks for having me, because. >> thank you, thank you, my cousin, y'all, my cousin. when we come back, we are heading outside the bell try and find out what's the officials are trying to do to protect your rights, y'all. i will be joined by two state senators after the break, stay
7:36 pm
with us. i will be joined by two stat senators after the break, stay
7:37 pm
with us.
7:38 pm
7:39 pm
i've said this before, but now i'm going to say it again, per usual, ladder. but the people in the back to hear, all politics is local, people. do you know who your state representative is? do you know where they stand on issues that matter to you? if you don't, you may be signing away rights. there are some state governments who are the ones that are kicking into high gear to try to save a woman's right to make decisions about her own body. then there are others who are actively working against it. president biden met with some democratic governors yesterday, and they talked about trying to work together. here is what president biden
7:40 pm
said. >> i shared the public outrage that this extremist court has made in moving america backwards with fewer rights, less autonomy. to politicians evading the most personal decisions, not only woman but expand on this decision to men as well. >> america's policies made in the state legislator, y'all. i'm happy to be joined by two state senators today. please welcome state shepard runs of florida and state senator chris larsson of wisconsin. all right, y'all. let's jump right into it. senator larson, i will start with you. because one row was overturned, and wisconsin law from 1848, when slavery was legal, it kicked in that mid performing an abortion a felony. congress -- governor tony ingress of wisconsin said that they would not enforce it. which is not the law? >> yeah, no, we are
7:41 pm
unfortunately in wisconsin, republicans are partying like it is 1849. the year after wisconsin became a state, a group of all male, all white legislators passed this original abortion law. there have been subsequent lost since then, where it is assumed that abortion is legal in the state of wisconsin. luckily, we have governor tony evers and attorney general josh kaul and democrats who are pointing out that there are discrepancies in the law, and it is interesting because these are all passed by republicans to restrict access to abortions, force ultrasounds, for instance, as well as unnecessary waiting periods. they could potentials the courts to say is it legal or not legal? and the meantime, the law is appalled. the upstairs of purpose right now is that every clinic that provides abortions have stuff stop i mediately. there are dozens of people who returned the day of horse garment to try to figure out what to do with the reproductive health care.
7:42 pm
>> i was reading that there was an influx into illinois, actually. senator jones, let me bring you in here because we can talk about wisconsin, but you have a whole lot going on in florida, particularly, and nasty law that went into place importers today. it is called florida's parental rights and education. it is a terrible bill, now it is a law, and it stops teachers and students from talking about sexual orientation and gender identity. i want to put this on the screen for years. white house press secretary kareen jean pierre issued a statement saying, this is discrimination, plain and simple. it's part of a disturbing and dangerous nationwide trend of right-wing politicians cynically targeting lgbtq i plus students, educators and individuals to score political points. senator, i know you feel very strongly about this. you are on the front lines against this perry terrible bill. what are you and your colleagues doing now for lgbtq+ individuals interstate? how you protect them? >> thank you so much, madam
7:43 pm
simone. -- it was never about parental rights. -- governor desantis is clearly running for office. he's trying to trap people and a cultural war to prove to the trump cult is that he is a bigger antagonist than trump's. well can i tell you is that we have groups for equality, other lgbtq groups across the state meeting with elected officials to let us know how we can respond inartistic. what we can do in our district to support lgbtq. one thing that my office is doing is that when the school year starts back, we are going to make my office a safe space, considering that schools are no longer allowing them to pass a safe spaces. we will open our office to be a safe space. we are encouraging other officers to do the same, to be correct and go around what republicans are doing here in
7:44 pm
the state of florida. >> so grateful for elected officials to put a view. what you said kind of give me hope, senator, because, i think in this moment, people are feeling full of despair. if each of you had one sense the share of people to try to give some hope, something to look ahead to, what would be? senator larson, i will start with you. >> i would say get active. i would say that, look, they have broadcast with a plan on doing in terms of restricting access to reproductive care, in terms of just getting access to birth control or being able to marry the person i choose. they say that success, so that should be a sign point for anybody that wants to have control over the reproductive freedom to get out, connective. if you don't like the politicians that you have in front of you, think about running for yourself. i think this is important. this is the future, otherwise, we will continue to be taken
7:45 pm
backwards by the suction court. >> senator jones, -- >> i would say the people that, you mean, what would you like history to say about you later on? we have to start laying the groundwork for what we want to feature to look like. we must be committed to it. yes, it is bad right now, but imagine what this could look like if we commit to the long game. we did not get here overnight. we won't get out of this overnight. we have to commit to the long game, like they say in church, deadlier days are here. >> florida senator, wisconsin senator, thank you both for all the work you do. we will see you soon. coming up, we want to turn to the horror and ukraine. we are going to tell you about the latest in a series of russian assaults that ukraine says has been hitting civilian targets. that is right after this, stay with us. hitting civilian targets. targets.

they don't hit civilians in this war. they say they use high precision weapons to hit military and army installations, but given how many civilians they killed over the last four months, it makes an absolute mockery of that statement. those attacks that you mentioned, the one increment shook, the shopping mall, and when they have been in odessa, are amongst the worst attacks the russians have launched since the beginning of this war. there was no military infrastructure around them. the one in odessa is a sleepy little seaside resort, where people go to get away from the sub it. there was no melter infrastructure there. this was an entirely civilian building, with the kindergarten it. one child was also killed amongst tournament people there. they had no claim to say those are military installations being hit there. you ask most ukrainians why are all the civilians being hit, they will say, oh, the russians
