>> coming up on the second hour

of a man, cpac's road to

irrelevant's, the four elitist conference has become and a list sideshow for trump, and only trump, then republican refusal of the new gop efforts to block regulation that could prevent real disasters. and the worst of the week pits to state republican parties against each other, will florida or georgia come out this week? i'm ayman, let's get started! all right, new tonight. donald trump wrapping up his speech at the conservative political action conference just what i'm ago. just a short time ago. we're gonna do you a favor. we are not going to show you any soundbites from his speech, because it was justice disassociated from the real world as all of his recent speeches. but we can report that the cpac crowd loved it and he won the conferences straw poll and that's only notable because trump was about the only person

at the conference this week who enjoyed such a warm reception. hardly anyone showed up to nikki haley's address, you can see it on your screen, you can hear crickets when mike pompeo decided to speak. but republicans? they came out in force for trump tonight. as charlie sykes wrote for msnbc this week, the trump cpac evolved from a gathering of republicans bit fires and alter right odd balls to a straight up maga cult. don't forget, two years ago there was a golden trump statue at the conference. some on the right are saying the conference should be named t pack because it caters to one man and one man alone. look at all the big republican names not attending this year's conference. of course the biggest name, ron desantis. you also have mike pence, kevin mccarthy, mitch mcconnell, rnc chair ronna mcdaniel. the only attendees appear to be former trump officials or trump fanatics, like conspiracy theorist kari lake, conspiracy theorist mike lindell,

conspiracy theorist meyer jury taylor greene. not even fox is safe, folks. former trump strategist, steve bannon was met with the standing of a ovation when he effectively declared war on rupert murdoch and his empire, vowing to destroy the network for turning its back on trump. we have to acknowledge the elephant in the room, the organizer, mike schlapp facing assault allegations. for a failed senate candidate herschel walker, he has vigorously denied the assault allegations. that headlines should be the lead of all cpac related coverage this week but it is become almost a foot no because the conference is so mired in infighting in chaos and trump of. joining me now is the chair of the congressional progressive caucus, and we go to congresswoman camilla jayapal of got washington. thank you so much for coming back on the show. much has been made of the

conspicuous absences that we have been seeing on the cpac guest list. some are calling it evidence of a split between the extremists on one side and the so-called normies in the gop, which i don't think there are any. do you think that is the right framing, or what is your understanding as to why we are seeing cpac become what it has become? >> well, ayman, it's so good to see you, thank you for having me back on. i think that republicans are in a massive identity crisis. they are in disarray, they are in ruin, and the problem for republicans is that these conspiracy theorists, these people who are leaders of cpac, sexual assault last suit against the ceo of it and the things that are being said at cpac are so extreme that not even republican leaders want to go to it. the problem of course is that trump is still very popular there, and trump still commands a significant percentage of the republican base. so i'm not sure how they're

going to resolve this crisis because clearly they understand that trump and the extreme republicans put the republican brand at risk. that's why so many are staying away. but on the other hand, trump is the republican brand. and that is a problem for them. that is why they lost so many races, including herschel walker, including so many across the country, because trump insisted on these extreme maga candidates. and the people that showed up are the ones who are still willing to embrace that one man hook. >> you talk to me about the danger of this identity crisis for a moment? we look at some crazy of all republicans on a state level doing things where they're in florida or texas. you're talking about the identity crisis at play here with cpac all under the control of trump and the conspiracy theorists. how dangerous is it for the republican party, for this country, for them, to be

continuing down this road? >> it's extremely dangerous. that's why i don't smile when i talk about this. it is not a good situation when such a significant stage has been given to conspiracy theorists, two right-wing it, to people who spread disinformation, fear, all kinds of things that do real violence. i was listening to the segment that you just had with the attorney generals, and i once again want to be clear that the kind of violence that donald trump unleashed on the country during his term as president, leading up to january 6th and continuing with events and peoples homes, as i saw myself with a gunman at my house, this kind of violence is all directly linked to this hate, it is disinformation, these conspiracy theorists, not to mention the threat of our democracy being ignored, being taken over by these conspiracy theorists, people who don't

wanna respect the fancy results of the election. that's a very serious country. people have a huge platform out there with, even though republicans, some republican stayed away from cpac, they're not denouncing cpac. they're not denouncing trump or these ideas in the way that they should. and so this continues to be a massive problem for our democracy and for basic civility in our country. >> i want to ask you, if i can, switching from a moment, gary's here, about the pandemic era expansion of food assistance funding, a snap benefits that expired this week, something that was so crucial and served as a lifeline during the pandemic. how dire is the situation? you're the chair of the process progressive caucus. this is something that you championed, that a lot of progressives on the left's left champion. >> i want to make clear, snap

is the supplemental nutrition assistance program. this is the money that gets food to people who are hungry. and what we saw during the pandemic by extending s. n. a. p. benefits, by adding the child tax credit, we were able to cut poverty, child poverty in half. and it made it clear, amen, that poverty is a policy choice. hunger is a policy choice. we have the power to change it, and it is with very little money and we're talking about just in my state of mark washington heights, 1 million people will lose $171 a month across the country. 32 million people are going to be pushed on to this hunger cliff. and we know that hunger is already so much worse than it was even pre-pandemic. so this is a horrific thing. republicans, by the way, in the

house, are proposing cutting snap, even further. supposedly to take care of the deficit when we know that we could raise taxes, as president biden said, on the wealthiest billionaires and getting an enormous amount of money that would far outweigh anything he would get by cutting these essential benefits to family. >> let me get your thoughts as well on this texas lawsuit that could determine the fate of medication abortion access nationwide. you have this judge, trump appointee, he has history of siding with conservatives on this issue. what is at stake? how could this affect your constituents, and how does this country fight it? >> well this was the case of forum shopping, looking for a judge, a trump appointed judge, who would give a ruling that would essentially overturn the fda's ruling that medication

abortion is safe, it has been safe for 20 years, it is been used around the world. and i just want you to think, ayman, and anyone listening, about the implications for not only this medication abortion but also for any medication that the fda has approved that any judge could suddenly decide to overturn it. now the consequences also for women across this country, pregnant people across this country who are trying to get abortions is dire. and this will of course the fact the people of color, the poorest people who can't afford to travel across state lines. this is going to affect even states like mine, where we have legalized abortion but protect and protected it but this is going to have a massive effect across the country. it will be a terrible ruling, not only for abortion and women 's freedoms, but also for all medication it's out there. this is unprecedented to overturn the fda on a medication in this way. >> and of course that could

come any day now. congresswoman pramila jayapal, always a pleasure. thank you for your insight, as always. next up, house republicans might try to block efforts to make frayed rail safer after that ohio train derailment, but first my friend richard louis is here with the headlines. hey, richard. >> hey amen. good meaning to you. made aware appearance and we can ukraine. he was inspecting troops at a command post in eastern donetsk as russian forces closing in on bakhmut. residents there have fled in recent days, and ukrainian forces may be preparing to withdraw from that city. a truck overturned on a maryland highway, killing a driver and several nearby homes burned the crash happened about an hour's drive west of baltimore and forced closures in both directions, police say the cause is being investigated. and authorities say that at least 11 people are dead after a series of severe storms tore through the southern united states. high winds lead to widespread power outage across texas,

tennessee, in kentucky. heavy storms are now expected in the west, with flash flood warnings along with parts of oregon in northern california. more ayman, after this break. so u hit back with ubrelvy u level up u won't take a time-out one dose of ubrelvy works fast it can quickly stop migraine in its tracks within 2 hours without worrying if it's too late or where you are unlike older medicines, ubrelvy is a pill that directly blocks a protein believed to be a cause of migraine. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. most common side effects were nausea and tiredness. migraine pain relief starts with u learn how abbvie could help you save. ask about ubrelvy, the anytime, anywhere migraine medicine. whoa. okay. easy does it. we switched to liberty mutual and saved $652.

visit east palestine ohio at some point as the area recovers from the hazardous train derailment. the announcement comes as a bipartisan group of senators have cosponsored legislation aimed at tightening freight rail safety rules. the bill would establish new safety standards for trains carrying hazardous materials, including notifying state officials of an incoming train ahead of time, strengthening inspections, and two person crew requirements, and increasing fines for safety violations. but even if this legislation does pass the senate, it certainly faces steep odds in the republican-controlled house. that is because house

republicans who sit on the transportation committee, they are actually dismissing calls to impose stricter regulations on the freight rail industry, calling them, quote, burdensome and premature. so the gop spans weeks knocking biden's slow response, but now with real solutions on the table, some of them are slamming on the brakes. let's bring in my saturday night panel, former california congresswoman katie hill, author of she will rise, becoming a warrior in the battle for true equality. rotimi adeoye, uncle strategist and francesca fiorentini, comedian and commentator. congresswoman i would like to begin with you. what do you make of the contrast between the bipartisan work being done in the senate versus house republicans not wanting to pass legislation that actually could present disasters like this in the future? >> i will say i think that we're going to see this over and over again, where the senate is functioning in a much higher level than the house. republicans have historically been opposed to any kind of

regulation. they side with corporations and they side with the lobbyists who advocate for no changes to the rules. so i think we're going to continue to see this blend of rights on any rights that had been meaningful, and i have no doubt they will use every bit of political leverage that they have to make sure that nothing happens. >> francesca, there's a lot to criticize the biden administration for in terms of its response to this ohio disaster, but what leg do some of these house republicans have to stand on if they are trying to slow down actual legislative solutions? >> none there. this is where their full populism just completely deflates. they rail against. it yeah, we believe in freedom and liberty, and i am completely -- by industry and i have no intentions of making good of any on the bluster. if trump can sell some trump water, if marjorie greene can

get more people to watch her cringeworthy crossfit routines they can build their podcast up and i'm sorry, what, legislating? what we are for? so they have no leg to stand on and sadly i have to say that even president biden of course, and in december they saw them preemptively ask congress to break a strike by rail workers. the same rail workers who were whistleblowing on this exact thing, and train cars that were far too long, carrying toxic chemicals, staffed by only one worker, and we decided, as a nation, congresspeople decided, that now, instead, the almighty economy deserves one to be run run shot over our lives. >> to me the white house is weighing if or how they could provide economic relief for east palestine. that is according to the washington post.

it remains, though, unclear, at the moment, what for on this relief could take. what do you think they can do? what do you think they should do? >> i think the first thing that needs to happen is biden needs to go down to east palestine and the people need to know that the president e-sports them and at the end of the day the most responsibility rise on corporations but i think the people in east palestine have been way through much, and around and politicians sit around and try to figure out what's go down and get them down, figured out, get it. and the people of east palestine have been through too much. >> congresswoman, republicans are stepping up their attacks on pete buttigieg, the transportation secretary. they're doing it in a huge way. some spilling into, quite frankly, outright almost will be a. you know don trump jr. referring to him as, quote, the gay guy, going after buttigieg's response is

definitely fair game. but this is crossing a line. this is going into personal homophobic attacks, which are vulgar and ugly. >> yet, we're gonna see that. again, they have no boundaries. we have no limits on how low they're going to go. i personally experienced that in a life-changing way. i think that we know that that wing of the party does not have any rules of engagement and will go after personal lives, will go after every bit of fearmongering that they can about people who are different from straight white people. and i think that's par for the course now. of course, pete buttigieg needs to be held to doing everything that he can from the position that he's in. we all should be pressuring him for that. but that doesn't justify any of the attacks that we are seeing on him. and personally i know him, he's a good person.

he cares about the families that have been affected by it. and he cares about doing what's right in the best thing for our country. >> all right, panel, stick around, i'm gonna come back to you later the hour. coming up, why are republicans so scared of books about race? the executive producer of hulu 's 16 19 project joins me next to talk about that. plus. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriva: think bigger. i love it when he strips for me. we strip as a pack. i don't care who sees me strip. josh, you strip? breathe right opens your nose for nasal congestion relief you can feel right away. helping you breathe better day or night, here or there. breathe right. strip on.

the 16 19 project by pulitzer prize-winning journalist nicole hannah-jones in your times magazine. the 1619 project focus is on how slavery shaped american life, challenging patriotic ideals that many people have about america which, you guessed, it caused an uproar among conservatives. >> our struggles and striving's have made america more fair and more just. and as much democracy as we have, it has been borne of black resistance. in other words, the very people who are never supposed to be a part of our democracy, have played the most pivotal role in creating it. >> all right, that was a clip from a new six-part docuseries at the petition of the 16 19 project, which is streaming now on hulu. one of the executive producers of the series joins us now. and it's good to see you my friend. >> lovely to see you. good to be here. >> i'm so glad we're finally having this conversation. i have been waiting, as we, know weeks to speak to about

this. let's talk about this, because as we mentioned the republicans have been pretty forceful in their attack in their good critique of 1619 project. i'm sure when you first learned about it you were aware of the backlash and just how vitriolic the attacks were on nikole hannah-jones and the project. why did you decide to take this project on? why did you want to be involved? >> first of all, that wasn't my first impression. when i first listen to the podcast, when i first read the special magazine, the biggest thing i felt was seeing is a myth unlike american. very emotional. i felt very seen and so naturally i have worked in this realm around issues of judgment justice for a long time it was a dream project, to contribute to this nikole vision. >> what a different look it's one of the pushback so much on this vision, this narrative, this incredible piece of work? >> i think it's centered around

power and the way that we see ourselves as americans. i think for many white americans, they still see the country as this place that is steeped in ideas of freedom and justice and equality. but, of course, we know the reality at that that left out a big portion of americans, in particular, black americans. so, i think that they're afraid of the reframing and what nikole has asked the americans to re-examine the country we live in and how the repercussions of slavery were so living with the day. that's the key point, because there is a sanitizing of history. people accountable with the idea that things happened in the past, 1964 civil rights act happened, it's all over now, everything is fair and we're good, right? we know that is not true. we're still living with the repercussions of slavery. >> i can't tell you how many times i've gotten into conversations with friends of mine, and when you bring up the subject of our patients, what did they say?

they say, why should i pay for something that our ancestors did. >> right, sure, that's the common -- we're asking for it to be re-framed in a sense. >> do you think that this could actually change peoples minds, make it different and the perception, or as unleashed this kind of polarization that existed, was there but as harden people into, yes, we need to have the conversation and the force on the other side, which is banning books and going further, banning words not to be used and trying to change the narrative around what african american advanced history looks like? >> i think it has already changed things enormously. i think it's important to understand that this is not new. this is something that happened during the civil war, something that we really breakdown in the series, right? we talk about moving into a truly multi racial democracy. what does that look like when everybody is included and not one sector of the country is

the one that maintained power and control, that everybody is included, everybody stories are included? it happened after the civil war. it happened during the civil rights movement, and it's happening again. we're in a new face, so the question really is, what will we do with this now? i think that's why they're so focused on young people, of course, because young people are the future. the hope and think that can change the reality of the country we live in. >> they are the answer to the question. >> they are the answer so that if you can control what they're thinking about, what they're reading, then you have the hope of trying to keep it the way it was. >> let me read you this quote from an opinion piece in the washington post, brian broom, he writes those who focus on the idea that telling these truths our devices are centering white feelings about our real estate. why deny black students the feeling of gratitude and pride of knowing how your people endured so that they can overcome and thrive? >> i want to go back to what you said at the beginning of

this, that when you took on the project, it was because you felt seen, that it's spoke to you. >> yeah, the center of witness, the idea that children will feel bad if they learn about their history, which agent children are we talking about? talking about white children in particular. what about all the other children, not that's the black children but all the different children to live in the country and deserve to be seen, is there for their history to be told and recognized for their contributions, both historically and currently. >> let me close it up with asking the question that you posed about the young children. what do you hope viewers take away from this in terms of action, in terms of moving this country forward to where it needs to be? >> i hope everyone or watch the whole series and watch till the end because the final episode which is entitled justice, based on the essay, it's about reparations. what we really want is justice, and that comes in economic form. the racial wealth gap is the same it's been, the same for 50 years. in general, what people make of ten times more than --

what families are about ten times more than black families. there cannot be quality until there is an economic equality. that is what i am hoping that this could not only spark conversation but really move us more towards justice for black people, but politically and economically. >> we were just talking about this with a member of the naacp and student debt relief, and how that generational debt that could impact families and how we see it it's families of colors and minorities that are taking on more student that than white people, even though the narrative sometimes is, certainly to republicans, it's the white people who should be forgiven. >> certainly, we want justice, and that's what we're hoping abuses towards. >> hopefully we all get it. it's good to see, thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> likewise. up next, millions of low income americans are about to be pushed off aid hunger, stay with us.

harder for millions of americans to put food on the table. expended covid era snap benefits and this week, i think 32 million americans could be headed off a hunger cliff. food stamp recipients will see their -- excuse me, see their monthly grocery allocations reduced by at least $95, despite inflation

and food prices at record highs. that is going to hit the most food insecurity states the hardest, and nearly all of the states are run by republicans. think texas, arkansas, mississippi, oklahoma, that according to feeding america. don't worry, the gop is definitely focusing its efforts on getting their constituents fed and not wasting time banning drag shows, trans health care and women's right to choose. by saturday night panel is back with me. congress woman, i'll start with you, how worried should be that these extra snap benefits are ending and no relief in sight? >> this is devastating, honestly. long before i ran for congress, my entire career was spent on the issue of homelessness, and i am back working in the area again. in south los angeles, there is an organization focuses on -- we literally last week had an campaign under the freeway with seven families, eight children total, under the freeway, and we all know how much the cost of food has affected our own budgets so imagine when air

living off a bare minimum of any kind of income whatsoever and these benefits are truly a lifeline for people. i honestly don't know what is going to happen. people will go hungry. people will go absolutely hungry. kids will go hungry, and as a mom, myself, it really breaks my heart, and i hope that we find a way of backfilling some of the benefits, certainly, we will and cough or not because we got the leadership to do so, but those republican led states, people are going to truly hurt. >> that is what is really troubling and this. you have republicans push this narrative that democrats are the ones being subsidized, but the vast majority of states with high food insecurity are actually run by republican. should it be an indictment under leadership that they're focusing on bending junctions rather than helping people feed their families? >> 100 percent, and it shows

their priorities. the fact is that the republican party for too long has been focused on what people are saying on twitter or online and they are ignoring with the problems are in their communities. what's the biggest story here i think is that a lot of the people that are unsnapped are also working full-time so even still, they have a wage that can't even provide for them to get food on the table so it's bad that these programs are sunsetting. we need to fix that. but we also need to raise the minimum wage that we don't have people on these government programs and still can't even afford to basics and cities for the family. >> princess the, switching gears the eli lilly for a moment, big news that they will cap the cost of the company's insulin drug to $35 a month, pretty significant, what's your reaction to that? >> trolling works, that's all i have to say and i think we should troll more corporations

and not throw people, and a story. look, bernie sanders has been out front on this. he's been calling for these caps. i think president biden has set aspirationally about having these limits, and look, bernie got amazon to raise the minimum wage after every trolling, so let's keep it going, police. i think what i would rather would have liked to see an instead of at the goodness of daylight luis hart -- corporations have heart legally in this country at, no, i would have rather seen government bring this corporation to heal. a government bipartisan effort that says you cannot count people for their insulin, and of story. that would have been and i still hold out hope that will be a future story. i also feel like $35, it can come down. let's bring it down even more, go for 15. >> yeah, why not? congresswoman, president biden and democrats have been pushing

for a 35 dollar insulin cap for a while now. perhaps it will cost lower as francisco once. but capping out of pocket cost for insulin with medicare was actually part of the inflation reduction act. how big of a win is this eli lilly move for democrats? >> i think exactly what francesco was saying is that our pressure works and we have to maintain that. also, the corporations are following what happened with medicare, that is something that medicare is the biggest insurer of americans across the board and so as medicare goes, so does the rest of the health care system and that's where we as legislators have the ability to influence prices over not just insulin. insulin is critically important but there are a lot of other medications that are as well. >> francesca, this month, as we mentioned earlier, it is women's history month. i want to ask you about the gender pay gap.

there's a new pew study that found that women and u.s. have roughly earned 82% as much as men for the last 20 years. in other words, the gap has barely budged. in fact, the gap continues to increase with age. what do you think needs to change to reverse this trend or to close that gap? >> i mean, matriarchy, really. just like a takeover of women of every branch of government, that's what i think needs to happen. that's it. that's what we need. i am not joking. i want a meteoric to authoritarian government, it will be great though. it will be so much better than what we have now. the food benefits, trying to romance, never going to happen under a matriarchy. everyone will be fed. are you kidding me? >> let me take that point from

francesca and bear with me one second, congresswoman, as someone who served in government, what do you think generally, how do we close that gap, besides a matriarchy, authoritarian government? >> i love that idea, for sure, but the true policy changes that we can make are actually very simple, and we've done it in kaufman and shown the impact on the way to go up and that is to require some pay transparency and to not allow employers to ask for your former salary. because if you start a lower salary, which we know happens with women coming of college, then you don't have and are never able to catch up, so for years and years, even when i was at the beginning of my career, that was the norm, right? you asked someone salary is three, and if your car employs not to ask the salary is three and two pay based on the job itself and the qualifications that a candidate has, then you see that gap actually close.

it's not even hard legislation, it should happen at the federal level. we have introduced that legislation at the federal level over and over again and we got close, we really take a close and if we get to the point where we have a democratic-controlled house and senate and white house, once again, i think that women need to be pushing for this to be a priority. >> can i jump in? >> let me get rotimi final thoughts on this, before we squeeze in a break. >> the fact there in that black women are at 70 cents to a white woman's dollar. hispanic women, they earned 65 cents. >> you know, this is just another example of the inequality we have in this country, and i want to say everyone's got to come to the table to fix the problem, but it's clear that one party is focused on. it's clear that the other party, there are safety gop, is more focused on other things so i trust that the biden administration is going to take steps to address this. i'd like to see more deliberate policy measures that we can put into place that actually fix the wage gap and also address,

as he said, -- the racial inequality that's happening. that's not only happening in which, is it's happening and almost every other area of our society. >> i know, stick around, up next, we're going to change pace and tackle our worst of the week. it is a race to the bottom to see which state republican party is more determined rooted to democracy, stay with us. only pay for what you need. with the money we saved, we tried electric unicycles. i think i've got it! doggy-paddle! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ hey guys, detect this: living with hiv, i learned that i can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why i switched to dovato.

the week, and it is a race to see who can erode democracy the fast this, get ready for the battle of the state republicans, florida versus georgia addition, representing the sunshine state, we have state senator blazing goglia, who is pitching a bill that will limit the states democratic party. the bill titled the ultimate cancel act, would canceled the filings of any party that previously advocated for slavery, which the democratic party did more than 150 years ago.

the gop back then did not. let's be clear, this is a publicity stunt designed to get back at democrats for, quote, trying to cancel people and companies for things that they've said or done in the past. and then there is our next contestant, georgia's republican state senators, nbc 's reported this week that at least 92,000 voter registrations were challenged last year by amateur voter fraud hunters. most that these challenges were unsuccessful, which should surprise no one. these were filed by partisans with an agenda. republicans really saw that report and said, hold my beer, a newly proposed senate bill would make it even easier to kick voters off the rolls through mass challenges like those proposed by nbc news. those reported by nbc news, it would essentially give more power to those fig fronting vigilantes and cause a massive administrative burden on election workers, so, who well

it be? the party consular's or the vote suppressor's? let's bring back my saturday night panel. congresswoman, i will start with you. florida or georgia, who is your worst of the week? >> the puck oppressors, that's actually likely going to happen to. >> rotimi, who you got? >> you know, i think this is a tough question because you got to bad apples, but will go with the votes oppressors, because voting is the fundamental right of our democracy. >> and francesca? >> since i am a clown, i had to go for the most clownish, which is absolutely in florida. the idea of the ultimate cancel act, how juvenile can you get, right? this is the party that is also like against cancel culture. now they want to do the, this is the ultimate, the final no take back cancel. >> what's so funny about all this, is not funny but actually sat, is that you have republicans in florida who want to ban teaching history

basically, more or less. they're trying to change the way the african american advanced placement course is posh. successfully, they seem like they've done it for now. they are also arguing that they should canceled the democratic party. how can republicans be taken seriously for decrying the democrats previous support of slavery when there are the ones actively trying to block teachers from talking about it with students now? >> yes, the current republican party would be big fans of the democratic party platform at the 1860s, ironically, that be super into the. that's exactly right, they are in one of the times biscuit continuum of being anti woke, right? they are gone. >> congresswoman, for me, i see in both cases, this is about weakening the democratic party. it's disenfranchising majority of democratic voters on one hand, literally eradicating the democratic party structure and its ability to organize on another.

>> in both cases, it comes down to disenfranchising the people, disenfranchising the people who need our help the moms. that's what they're trying to do. they've been pretty clear about that, over and over again. >> and this is the thing, to me, not just with the politics, you have to scary trend and florida, republicans are looking not just to eliminate the democratic party, they want to propose a bill, at least one senator does that will require bloggers to write about state officials like ron desantis, to register with the state, and that is something that, i've seen that oversees, and countries like china or north korea. vladimir putin signed a similar measure known as the bloggers a law back in 2014. and again, we can't ignore these measures and dismiss them as one-off's. >> i think desantis has a lot of insecurities, so i think that's why he's putting that foot. just another example of how the republican party has been

completely lost its mind and is embracing a total authoritarian measures. i got to say one more thing, as this coming weekend, we are commemorating the 50th anniversary of bloody sunday, the historic voting rights march that basically so many civil rights activists back then marched for the right to vote, and we stop places like georgia pushing these dangerous voter suppression bills. it really shows you although we made so much progress, we still have so much more to do. >> i am so glad you brought that up, it is absolutely an important milestone and should not be lost with all this debate that's happening in this country. former congresswoman katie hill, rotimi adeoye, francesca fiorentini, thank you so much, i really appreciate all of your times. thank you for making time for us, come back tomorrow night at nine eastern on msnbc, i'll be joined by democratic congressman, greg casar, to discuss the chaos unfolding on the republican-led house oversight committee and get his reaction to the panels chair, who is pushing unfounded conspiracies. until then, i am ayman mohyeldin, goodnight. ♪ ♪ ♪
