the spotlight will one day find you. >> thank you. thank you. thank you. this is not just for me this is for every little grout that looks like me. thank you for giving me a seat at the table because so many of us need this. we want to be seen, we want to be heard, and tonight you have shown us that it is possible. >> my first movie was what clark gable. but back in those days i have to tell you this the good earth, the leading role, was played by these guys with their eyes taped up like this and they talked like this. because the producer said the asians were not good enough and they are not box office. a look at us now.

james harden, and the incredible cast of everything everywhere all at once, including my girl jamie lee curtis, when the sag award herself. that takes us off here tonight. and on that note i wish to wall a very good night. from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thanks for staying up late with me. i'll see you at the end of tomorrow. d of tomorrow it's a really good to have you here we have a very interesting show for you tonight. if he had ever been to london, or if you're like, me and you basically spend every waking hour you are not working, eating, sleeping, or fishing watching british crime dramas set in london. which is what i do now because i am a middle aged childless lesbian. anyway. whether you've been to london or you spent a lot of time in london in your mind. you might have noticed these

blue blacks on the london landscape. the british government puts out these blue discs. these blue plaques on historic sites of all kinds. not just in london, but particularly in london. they're also other parts of the country of course. some of the these historic plaques are exactly what you would think. exactly what you would imagine. winston churchill, 1874 to 1960, five prime minister who lived in died here. or this one, mahatma gandy, 1869 to 1948. who lived here as a law student. francis bacon. painter, lived and worked. her 1961 1992. lady diana spencer, princess diana, lived here. so, some of them wrote exactly did imagine. if you know anything about british history. some are a little bit more surprising where this little bit harder to guess. this is one i featured in the new york times not long ago. that commemorates the discovery of the cato street conspiracy.

just in case you don't know, that was an 1820 plot to kill everyone in the british cabinet and the prime minister. they put a black, where the plot was discovered. okay? where this one, this one's for the first woman to qualify as a dentist in england. i had no idea. nicely taught. this one is for luke howard, neymar of clouds. which sounds like a terrell card reading. but he was actually the name of clouds. and that blue plaque marks where he lived and died. so those have been a part of the sort of british landscape for a long time. very familiar thing. a couple of weeks ago a new one went up. that was a whole different kind of idea. now, you might remember in the very recent history, great britain had a new prime minister this past fall. who lasted like five minutes. she was like anthony scaramucci. she looks like mike flynn,

national security adviser. she was there for a minute, and then she was gone. her name was liz truss. she was a member of the tory party, a conservative. she was elevator prime minister in september. as soon as she got in, as prime minister, she proposed a whole new very controversial kind of insane tax system. that proposal instantly tanked the whole british economy. basically, just as quickly she got there, poof, she was gone. she didn't even make it two months as prime minister. you might remember there was this live stream of a head of lettuce. they pegula's whip on it. they had a head of lettuce sitting on a shelf, this was a livestream, it was a proverbial raised to see if liz truss could last longer as prime minister or would the lead is last in terms of its shelf life? which one would last longer. liz truss's pm, with the letters going bad. the latest outlasted the stress.

she was out before two months. so, it was a narrow window of time. the stress. but, in the midst of that narrow window of time. a big, new historic blue plaque was put up on the house and landed. and i look just like one of those famous black sea marking historic sites. all over england except it was really oversized. you could tell it is not made of metal. and what it says is the uk economy was crashed here. 55 tufted. september 23rd, 2022. september 23rd 2022 is the day that liz truss had announced her disastrous economic plan. which indeed crash the british economy. the contagion or by the people who made this plaque was that that disasters plan had been dreamed up by an extremist, dodgy, right wing think tank based at 55 to flinch treat in london. so they made that new commemorative blue plaque and

put it up on that house. that was done by a group called led by donkeys. and we are going to show on the screen here some of the other things they have done, including, projections, billboards, and. things led by don cases aware name, i know. it has a long history. that phrase was used for quite a long time for people criticizing the leadership of the british military. and world war i, and then other conflicts. critics would say the british, every day soldier. the british infantrymen was a good brave soldier but british leadership was bad. so they had this phrase lions led by donkeys. which means soldiers led by terrible generals. about four or five years ago, this activist group shorthanded to lead by donkeys. essentially to mean that the british public, the british everyday citizen's group, but british political leadership is terrible. and has this group led by donkeys they have been doing stuff, at demonstrations, and with billboards, and with

projections, and with big blue historic plaques ever since. so that is the scoop led by donkeys. that's the kind of stuff that they do. now, i want you to watch what they just did. in the last few days. and i will warn you, just watch this for a second. this isn't the sort of thing you can just listen to. it won't make sense just listening. i will tell you it won't be clear what they are doing for the first little bit of this tape on what to show you. but just watch for a few seconds and you will figure it out. one important thing to note here, as context, where this is happening. this thing about to show you. this is the street in front of the russian embassy. in london. ♪ ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ ♪ >> this was just a few days ago, in london. and right outside the russian embassy on base water grodin london. you can see what they've done here. they have paint, blue paint, yellow paint, and these wheelbarrows. they blew the paint out of this wheelbarrows onto the road. and then they let regular everyday traffic. the cars, and buses and trucks that would otherwise be driving over this part of the street, they effectively drafted vehicles into this protest to what the wheels of their vehicles. spread this paint. to create a huge bigger than life ukrainian flag over the entire street. and from the russian embassy. look at that. led by donkeys did this to commemorate one year since russia invaded ukraine. you can see some of the details

of this. they held up signs for cars coming into this and trap that, drive slowly, and big letters. i think you can probably make this out of the bottom of the sign. off the top and says ukraine solidarity protest. but on the bottom and says washable paint. there are assuring people, in their cars, that if the drive on this paint it will be okay. the group said what they used to actually was fruit grade. it was literally edible, non-toxic, posturing paint. that would wash off. so it wouldn't have hurt any of the cars, or bikes, or people, who rolled through our walk through this stuff. but they did paint the street into a giant ukrainian flag. and it will presumably have infuriated the russian government. three men, and a woman, were arrested for doing this. we don't know what charges they're facing. we are told that all four them were arrested on the blue paint team. apparently the yellow paint team was able to jump over and help out after their colleagues

got taken away. i shall tell you for this measure this block base water road was also renamed kyiv road. so now the russian embassy in london is on kyiv road. so that was london. just a few days ago. over this weekend, we saw protests not just all over the world in solidarity with ukraine, and protesting the russian invasion. we saw, inside russia. individual brave russians get arrested. for staging teeny tiny little protests. for staging even one man, or even one woman protest. denouncing the war. and then cases it was literally a single person just saying they're against the war. or a single person holding a single sign, some cases a single word. that's enough to get you

arrested in russia, saying one word against the war. but knowing that be the case, they still did it. that was russia this weekend. >> this was mexico this weekend. look at this. more than 100,000 people turned out in mexico city. while there were also simultaneous protests in more than 100 other cities in mexico. you may remember there were crowds in israel. protesting the israeli government's new plans to basically take over the judiciary. take over the court, but the main political control. this time we saw huge protests in israel against that anti-democratic proposal. from the israeli government. now here we are the snow week later in mexico. absolutely massive crowds. in this case, protesting more anti democratic plants. protesting plans by the mexican government to get rid of the elections authority. basically the independent elections watchdog agency.

i mean, mexico is not known as a paragon of can do good government. but here is just absolutely huge numbers of people turning out and peaceful protest to say, save our democracy. don't take that part of the way. do not take away fair election's administration air. you cannot take that over. we will defend that institution. we will defend small t, democracy. again, this is mexico just this weekend. today, here was nbc news sounding an alarm about a coordinated massive scale effort in one american state. to try to disqualify tens of thousands of people from voting. this is an alarm that's being raised by the group, fair fight action, and state of georgia. that's raising the alarm. the alarm is being sounded in this exclusive reporting from jamie tim for nbc news. if i remember right after the 2020 election in georgia there

is a big, very controversial anti voting rights bill that republicans passed in the georgia legislator. and the republican georgia governor side. that led to nationwide news coverage. that's a bunch of boycotts of georgia. well, that anti voting bill in georgia the right to file an limited number of challenges against the eligibility specific voters. and while there could be an limited number of voters challenged. the law also mandates that election officials have to respond to each of those challenges within ten days. you can see where the problem i lie. and now it's paying off is expected. putting up exactly as you might have expected to. last year in georgia, conservative activists filed eligibility challenges against, get this, 92,000 individual voters in that one state.

92,000 americans. individually had their voting eligibility challenged. by conservative activists and individuals. and, election officials are mandated by law to response each one of those challenges, within ten days. so, this is a way to, not only make life miserable for the people that you are targeting. but, also is a way to swap elections offices. so they can do nothing other than contend with these bulk challenges. a new way to legally, absolutely mess with the administration of elections, and the individual right to vote. by the tens of thousands. the group, fair fight action, which is a voting rights and pro democracy group in georgia. they are raising the alarm about this. they are suing, now, in federal court to try and stop this from continuing to happen to georgia voters. nbc news reporting it today, exclusively, again. to sound the alarm about the fact that this is happening in georgia.

but, also effectively, to give the whole country heads up. that if anti voting, anti election, anti-small d democratic forces haven't gotten to this yet in your state it is working great and georgia and it is likely coming your way. you may or may not, by now, be able to see the theme that is emerging from these seemingly desperate stories. the thing that these things all have uncommon, if people coming together, coming together in groups, large and particularly groups that are well organized better official. like firefight in georgia. groups like those brave protesters been talking about places like russia. people coming together and whatever numbers make the most sense. against powerful forces. that can otherwise feel too good to take.

on people coming together with other people to find a way to stand up anyway, even when you feel like you are up against something that is impervious to your protest, finding a way to do it anyway. finding a way to puncture the silence, to let it be know that somebody is against it and that somebody is you. and yes, sometimes it is a large group like the one that we saw in mexico's city, sometimes it's a small, group is sometimes it is not even a group. it is just one person. i said tonight is going to be an interesting show, part of the reason is that we have a guest is somebody that you've never met before. this is somebody who is taking a stand very much on her own, personally, as an individual in a way that is making a very loud noise. she is a state senator in nebraska, she happens to be a democrat, she is from blue city omaha in red state nebraska. and republicans of course have

a big majority in the legislature in nebraska, it's nearly 2 to 1 majority and that means that republicans, they're pretty much able to do whatever they want in terms of state legislation. but one of the things that they decided they are going to do, like republicans are doing a lot of states right now. in nebraska, that republicans have decided that they're going to make a new law targeting trans people. banning doctors and nurses from providing care to trans young people. and this one state senator from omaha, standing alone, she is absolutely, positively, unmoved doubly determined that the republicans should not be able to do that with state law in nebraska. that they should at least not be able to do it without her fighting it with everything she's got. it turns out that one of the things that she has got is the power, as a single senator, to filibuster every single piece of legislation that comes up, good or bad, every single bill in the state legislature this

year. there are 36 days into a 90-day session, she says she has got all the time in the world. she plans to filibuster every single bill. she says she will not relent, she will bring the entire thing to a standstill because that is the only thing she can think to do to try to protect trans people from what the republicans are trying to do them. now she has allies to agree with her in the legislature, she is not alone in your feelings about this legislature or the opposition to it, but she is standing alone in terms of what she's going to do about it. she is basically laying down on the proverbial trucks in her state and she is going to join us live here in just a few minutes and you're going to want to meet her. but there is a lot going on the news right now and i feel like, right now in particular, there is a lot that can feel overwhelming. we are just starting here two of russia's war pounding away at the people of ukraine, domestically we have antisemitic and anti-gay and

anti-trans hate crimes and harassment and violence. frankly, running pretty wild in the streets right now and it's disturbingly it is not just straight stuff it is dovetailing with right-wing legislation that is -- ever conservatives are in charge. that is both dispiriting and also dangerous. in east palestine ohio the train derailment, there it is an environmental catastrophe who dimensions you not fully grasp. this may be the kind of thing that takes decades, and literally billions of dollars in a multi generational commitment to clean up and make right, for the people and the land and the water there. this is a very situation situation east palestine and it is now steamrolling into a right wing, provocative, dangerous, false narrative. in conservative media, and

among white supremacist groups, where they are characterizing this trained relevant as a war on white people. something around which white power groups should organize and try to recruit. it is happening at the street level, with street fighting white to premises groups, but this is also dovetailing with big-time politics and big-time conservative media. that could be particularly combustible. amid that mess there are groups of people who are being creative and brave and standing up and finding a way to make themselves heard to try to change things. and east palestine, interestingly, part of what is happening is that these two diametrically opposed u.s. senators from that state, one democratic veteran, one republican newbie, they are now releasing joint statements and working together to try to get

an agreement for immediate and long term health monitoring for families in this town of east palestine and surrounding areas. they are trying, i mean you take big, overwhelming, situations and we're in the middle of a lot of them. but what you do about it? well, if you look around, there are all these instances that we have got to report on and learn from right now of people finding a way, some way to get at them, to take them on, to make a difference at an individual, human level. it can feel, small but it really is the only way on all of this stuff. whether you are a, senator or whether you are an activist, or a general citizen, it is the only way. senator -- from ohio is going to join us tonight, he was just in east palestine today. nebraska senator mckayla kavanaugh, what you are going to want to meet her. we've got a lot to get to tonight, stay with us.

to happen in five, ten, or 15 years. that's my biggest concern. there are so many kids in this town and they keep saying that cancer is a big thing and it is just terrifying because i have a ten year old daughter and an eight-year-old son and, are they going to, in ten years be diagnosed with cancer that is from this? where is safe? >> today marks 24 days since an 18,000 ton, 151 car mile plus long train, a norfolk southern freight train derailed in east palestine ohio. that train was carrying hazardous materials and chemicals, including a known carcinogen called vinyl chloride. this terrible derailment in these palestine is truly terrible. that, said it is not the first train wreck in recent memory for the people of ohio. for them, this is not even the

first recent train wreck involving north folk southern. in october, early october, a norfolk southern 40 train crashed in sandusky, ohio. reportedly because of issues with the engine. then, just a month, later on november 6th, another train hauling trash derailed along the ohio river. that first one, in sandusky, which again that was in early october, the local paper in sandusky just yesterday reported, congratulations, you can now drive north through the underpass or that wreck happened back in october. but the southbound lane is still closed, and city officials say there is no telling when that might open again. again, this is months later, after that much of smaller derailment that did not make national news, at all. that sort of scale of impact is keep worth, keeping in mind when it comes to the epic disaster in east palestine. the spill there was toxic, industrial chemicals.

the environmental and health impact has already upended thousands of people's lives, indefinitely. norfolk southern today released their latest corporate tally on help they are providing locally for the recovery, norfolk southern say they have committed more than $11 million to support the community, which includes $5 million in direct assistance to families, plus some monies for schools, plus a sort of running tab of a small scale good deeds such as the 104 or agents -- bought from a local flower shop for delivery to a nursing home and. if you own the mile plus long train that just crashed and created an epic, still and spilling disaster with consequences that spanned multiple states and potentially multiple generations, flowers i am sure are nice. but, the question in east palestine tonight is, how much help is that community going to

need? not just now, but for years to come. and importantly right now, who will get to decide that? who will set the appropriate monitoring and assistance in motion? who makes sure that things are put right now and for good? joining us now is ohio u.s. senator brown, he met with people who live in east palestine. he told people today, quote, i am here for the long haul. senator, brown i really appreciate you taking the time to talk to us tonight i know this is really busy time for you. >> thanks rachel, it's wonderful to be back on your show, good to see you again. >> good to see you too. what do you think people should understand about the impact of this disaster and the impact on people in east palestine that is maybe missing from the national coverage and the national discussion about this over. what can you see from up close, from having been there just today, that we might not be able to see from a national media point of view? >> your intro into the story was exactly right.

it is what it is doing to people, now, and we did a roundtable of sorts with 15 or 20 local people, some from the local foundation, city council, sheriff commissioners, townspeople, we met a woman who owns a candle shop. three generations, i think her daughter runs it now. they are four miles away from their shop, they own 40 or 50 beef cattle and what does that mean for them and people buying that? so there are all kinds of down the line, the water is safe, the mayor says that the epa says that they are all saying the water is safe and in the east palestine water system, but a lot of people have wells. we do not know about beyond, there and we do not know, as you said, a generation after generation, what this means. so, the reason why i say i'm there for the long haul is to make norfolk southern, who by the way it just announced billions of dollars in more stock options for their

stockholders, especially their executives, that's how they give them such extravagant pay. they were about to announce, they announced that the day before. the derailment. so, we are holding them accountable. that is my biggest job. but also, what do you do with the second generation, and the third generation. so, that is why i am there for the long haul. >> i was interested, today to see a letter that you cosigned today with the junior senator from ohio, republican j.d. vance. now you incentives and obviously come from different parts of the ideological number line and your very different men and have very different approaches to, things about that makes it all the more interesting to see both of your signatures on this letter. now the epa and the cdc saying hey, we need to get out there right now and get a medical baseline. do voluntary collection of health indicators from people in this community so that, if there is a health impact overtime, we have a baseline

data that everybody agrees is good data that we can use without any health problems in the long run can be incontrovertible. i have to ask you about the substance of that request, and what it has been like to work with senator vance on this. >> i don't know senator events well, but he is saying the same things that i am saying. he's talking to a lot of the same people, i am talking to. he realizes that the severity and the seriousness of this. so we are teaming up, even though we do not know each other very, well we are very different ideologies about government approach, but we both see this is really important. bill johnson, a very conservative republican congressman represents most of the river counties, and i have teamed up on a number of things to on this. you know, rachel, when you were talking, my mind goes on this is, when you think about long term impact to a bill that senator tester and i wrote. a bipartisan bill passed, what was called the pact act. those soldiers, hundreds and

thousands over soldiers in afghanistan were exposed to these football field sized burn pits in those countries and are beginning to develop all kinds of illnesses. we listed 23 illnesses based on medical assistance and medical advice. cancers and broiler illnesses that can come from those burn pits. we are approaching this the same way, these can be two, years five years, ten years down the line and we want to make sure that we have covered those things. so, i bring sort of that experience of the pact act to this and figuring out how do we look at this long term? >> senator brown of ohio, it is really good to see you. it is been too long. come back to the show soon, keep us updated on the situation in east palestine and have your office keep us up to date on a concrete level, we want to put it on the. air >> thank you are planning another trip in march. they're going to see me a lot there and i've got a really good relationship with the

mayor and the sheriff and the council and the citizens, so we will keep talking by phone and i will keep showing up. it is really important that they know that somebody is on their side on this and that is just my mission and my job. thank you. >> senator brown of ohio, thank you. we've got much more ahead tonight, stay with us. ght, stay with us. ect it. the subaru solterra electric suv. subaru's first all-electric, zero-emissions suv.

story our event in the district. please keeping a close watch

after tense moments at a similar events last week, when members of the far-right group the proud boys showed up in protest. eric ward has more on how things went today. >> the scene along barracks road, the street closure, a crowd that heavy police presence and does not immediately say children's story time. but neither does this confrontation outside of a silver stream bookstore last weekend around another story time. -- instead of facing a gauntlet of years, they were guided by rainbow under ella wielding escorts. still, even the young ones could not have been oblivious to all of the police presence. >> in washington d.c., in maryland, all across the country now, it dragged events need police protection and community escorts to shield people from violent screaming crowds of right wing paramilitary groups who now routinely show up to terrorize people at these events. and the stuff that is happening

in the streets is sort of a mirrored by or dovetailing with our huge surge in legislative attacks on drag performers and the lgbtq community. basically, in every state where republicans now hold power. and, florida of course has gotten a lot of attention. ron desantis there have led the passage of multiple new laws targeting gay people and trans people. he is targeted parents with abuse investigations, tennessee right now is in the news for a groundbreaking draconian law they are about to enact that basically bans drag entirely in that state. in tennessee, performing in drag in public or anywhere where a young person might conceivably see you will be a felony, punishable by up to six years in prison. i'm sure that tennessee police will be delighted to have it among their new duties to raid performances or plays or tiktok shoots or a cost people walking

down the street, to check that everybody is wearing out the police expect in terms of gender conforming underwear. i am sure they are delighted that that's going to be among the new responsibilities. tennessee will be so much flavor. and yes, tennessee may be out in front, but republicans have introduced bills targeting drag in over a dozen states, and that is just the dragon bills. republicans have introduced literally hundreds of anti lgbtq bills nationwide this, you're nearly half of them specifically targeting trans people. iowa alone currently considering 19 bills, including a drag bill and a do not say gay bill for schools and a bill targeting trans youth. in nebraska, a bill banning doctors and nurses from providing medical care for trans kids is also a top priority for republican lawmakers. and, in the nebraska legislator,

or applicants hold nearly twice as many seats as democrats. so, it has seemed like that the bill will likely become law just as soon as they can get it to a vote. turns out, getting that a bill to a vote is going to be harder than the republicans expected. >> i have nothing, nothing but time and i am going to use all of it. >> one democratic state senator in nebraska is taking radical measures to try to stop her republican colleagues from passing this a bill targeting in transit young people. and so far it is working. watch. >> work on the floor of the nebraska legislators at a standstill, largely held about one senator. >> you cannot stop me >> for the second day in the row, senator mckayla kavanaugh stonewalled. >> i will not stand for legislating hate and statutes.

it will be very painful for this body. and if people are like, is she threatening us? let me be clear, yes i am. >> kavanaugh promised to take every single bill -- meaning hours of debate on every single bill that comes through the floor. >> take your names off of that piece of poop, l b five 74, talk to the speaker, demand the governance. be better. the who the children of nebraska deserve. >> nebraska state senator mckayla kavanaugh has fought the nebraska legislator to a halt. they have a 90-day legislative session, there on day 36. she is vowed to use all of the time in the legislative session to stop what they are doing. she has vowed, specifically, to filibuster every single bill, literally standing on the floor and talking, dragging out debate to the maximum number of hours on every single agenda item. so that republicans will relent

and rescind that anti-trans bill. she is forcing the question, is this what republicans are going to use their government for? senator kavanaugh says they can use it for that, they can use it to try to get that one thing done. or the state can govern. she says she is going to use everything she can to slow that government to a crawl. she told the, excuse me, she told her colleagues, i will burn the session to the ground over this bill. joining us now is nebraska senator makayla kavanaugh, the democrat who represents the sixth district of nebraska. sandra kavanaugh, we really appreciate you joining us tonight, thank. you >> thank you for having. the >> so let me first just ask you, if i got any of that wrong. i talked about you a little bit at the beginning of the show and just give you that intro here and you know this much better than i do. i just want to give you a chance to get me straight if i got any of that the wrong way around. >> no, i think you have a

right. that was pretty accurate. i am standing by that, i intend to talk a lot. >> tell me how this works in practical terms. i know that it is a 90-day session, i think we are in days or 36. with the day the filibuster rules, work you can effectively spend hours, you can use of hours of the legislative clock and calendar for anything, without anything coming out to vote. through this tactic, by using this tactic, what do you think you could logistically accomplish in terms of stopping legislation, stopping legislation from governing? >> from my back of the envelope, we have approximately 518 maximum hours left of debate discussion and that means that we could pass potentially no more than 42 bills. and, that is not very many, for the entire legislative session. this is a long session and that means that we have to pass a budget.

so, i am just going to practically make sure that my colleagues have to make a choice about what they want to do, what our job, is and is our job to legislate hate or is our job to govern? work tax cuts, work on the economy. so i am forcing their hand. >> you're calling the question as to what they are, doing and what they do want to spend their legislative hours and capabilities on. you're forcing them to choose this, or everything else. let me ask, what does the strategy entail from you? i know that you spent thursday and friday talking for hours on the floor, i understand part of that time you are fighting a cold and a sore throat. presumably this is physically kind of a big ask, just for yourself, being able to do this as a human? >> yes. it turns out that i had strep throat, which i didn't know. that was fun.

so apparently i can literally filibuster through a virus that attacks your vocal cords, and i am proving that i am willing to do whatever it takes. this is too important, i think it's important for us to focus on what it is, as state legislators, as legislators across the country. what is our job, our job is public policy, it is not to legislate hate. but, at the end of, day this is going to hurt children and i do not care how sick i get, i do not care how tired i am. i am not going to look back on this moment in time and say i did not do everything that i possibly could to fight for and protect children, especially our most vulnerable children, which are our trans youth. >> your clarity, speaking to me right now, and your clarity on the senate floor on the legislation -- and your clarity and explaining

this point is pretty unimpeachable. you are not beating around the bush at all, i've been writing down all the quotes that i have seen from you from the floor speeches. i want to know, you i want to genuinely be frustrated tick all get out with me. this is how the session is going to be for every, bill you cannot stop me. take your names off that piece of poop, l b five 74. you've got a gas port of the room when you said that. if you want to inflict pain or on children, i'm going to inflict pain on the body. i will bring the session to the ground over this bill. you're being very blunt about, this i have to ask if it has had either backlash that you did not expect in terms of people not wanting, this and not expecting this from, you or if it is had a galvanizing effect on people who feel the same way that you do about this? >> i think it has had more of a galvanizing effect that it has black last. i do think that we have become so complacent in what we anticipate and expect of our governors that we feel that

those are in positions of power are just not willing to stand up. so the fact that i, and i'm not, alone i have some wonderful colleagues were standing with me, and the fact that myself and my colleagues are standing up and pushing back so loudly and clearly against this, i do think is a galvanizing effect. i, hope it continues to have a galvanizing effect. i hope that it gives people hope. i really want to give people hope, i really want our trans youth and our lgbtq community across the state and across the country to know that there are people fighting for them and that they should not give up hope because i am not giving up until i have nothing left to give. >> when your voice is small in number, it really helps for it to be clear, which you are demonstrating. makayla clive, not thank you. stay in touch with, us we will be in touch with your office has this goes forward. i know it is going to be a long

road, thank you. >> thank you so much, i appreciate you highlighting this really important issue. >> we'll be right back, stay with us. , stay with us. known as a loving parent. known for lessons that matter. known for lessons that matter. known for being a free spirit. no one wants to be known for cancer,

looked into that and discovered that, in fact, congressman andy ogles has no degree in economics, they found that mr. ogles in his life has taken a grand total of one community college course in economics which he barely passed and that was the extent of his collegiate work in the subject. congressman locals also said that he graduated from vanderbilt's business school, which would be very impressive. in reality, he reportedly took executive education classes, which is a short term non-degree program when you get a certificate, thank you for showing up. not actually a graduate degree, which requires years of commitment. congressman andy ogles also claimed that he was a former member of law enforcement to work in international sex crime, specifically child trafficking. that experience in law enforcement maybe was him serving for two years as a volunteer resident of.

deputy in one county sheriff's office. a volunteer position according -- he was released because he did not meet the trump minimum standards even for that. for good measure, congressman ogles had no involvement in international sex crimes. congressman santos, i mean ogles, claimed to have a degree in international relations. it turns out that, to, is ally and he sort of now is admitting that that is horse hockey. a week ago,'s office was saying it was a simple case of condensing a resume for the sake of gravity on the campaign trail and partisan hacks are trying to turn it into a headline for clicks. that was last week. now this week we have no explanation for his claim that he earned a degree in international relations. congressman day released a statement that i previously stated that my degree was in international relations. when i pulled up by transcript to verify, i realized i was mistaken.

my degree is in liberal studies. i apologize for my misstatement. >> who among us has not completely forgotten what we majored in in college and had to check it on the transcript? i do wonder if there is something about the words, may drove in liberal studies that could explain why this republican in congress left that out of his biography and made something else up instead. what kind of studies, did you say? what do you have an actual degree in? watch this space. my mental health was much better, but i struggled with uncontrollable movements called td, tardive dyskinesia. td can be caused by some mental health meds. and it's unlikely to improve without treatment.
