good evening, everyone. we begin "the reid out" with breaking news. the newest filing in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit from dominion voting systems against fox has just been released. we are still combing through it but the more than 1,000 page filing already provides additional evidence that points to fox's intentional disregard for the truth as it continued to spread donald trump's baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen. and from the very top we have fox corporation chairman rupert mourdock admitting that fox hosts actually endorsed it skk, quote, was it wrong for fox hosts to endorse these lies? rub per the mourdock replied, quote, if they knew they were lies, yes. if they knew they were lies. and the filing does show that some of those hosts knew they were lies. in one of tucker carlson's private texts an unknown individual asks him, do you think there's real evidence of

significant voter fraud? carlson replies, i don't think there's evidence of voter fraud that swung the election. there is info here and there showing fraud, but not the amount of fraud to swing the election to biden. you haven't heard his true thoughts about trump lawyer sidney powell who was leading the charge over the dominion voting machine theories. he knew that she was spouting lies and in a newly revealed text he said, quote, sidney powell is lying, f'ing b word. nice. also in the filing was an email from mourdock to fox news chief executive suzanne scott on january 31st, 2021, two weeks after the january 6th insurrection where he acknowledges fox news's role in what happened. he writes, still getting mud thrown at us. is it unarguable that will high profile -- is it unarguable that

high profile fox voices fed the story that the election was stolen and that january 6th was an important chance to have the results overturned? maybe sean and laura went too far. all very well for sean to tell you he was in despair about trump but what did he tell his viewers? now keep in mind there is now ample evidence that the anchors and executives at fox did not believe the things they were saying about a stolen and rigged 2020 election. we've seen that from the lawsuit's past filings. in fact, it wouldn't surprise me if some of them are even laughing at their viewers behind their backs calling them suckers for believing what they hear on the network. there is also the reporting from "the new york times" peter baker describing the panic within the company right after the election when they appropriately and accurately called arizona for biden. the fear of angering and potentially losing their audience even had their supposed real journalists like brett bare and martha mack callum that it

was not enough to call them and viewer thoughts should be considered. ms. maccallum said the game is very, very different. in an effort to give them what they want to hear knowing it's bs has continued up to literally last night. >> the protestors were angry. they believed that the election they had just voted in had been unfairly conducted. they were right. in retrospect it is clear the 2020 election was a grave betrayal of american democracy given the facts that have since emerged about that election, no honest person can deny it. >> joining me now is aaron blake. katie fang, msnbc legal contributor and curt bardella. aaron, i have been scrolling as quickly as i can through your twitter feed. it's faster than reading through the giant monster filing. give us the highlights, i guess

they also could be called low lights. what did we learn from this filing that is new. >> well, a lot of it is filling out details that dominion has already focused in their briefs. dominion had an incentive to highlight the most important things that would help its legal case. these are the exhibits that are filling out the picture. we're seeing the full rupert mourdock investigation. we're seeing what we are similar to before and maybe providing more color kind of filling out the case. i think what's clear from these texts and these emails and these depositions is that there was a lot of panic at fox news after the election. they were not only worried about losing viewers to news max and other conservative outlets that were promoting these things more than they were at the time but there was a lot of back biting. there were people complaining about the news side, the combs team effectively undermining them and spreading stories that didn't reflect well on the primetime hosts. so that's -- you know, we're

dealing with a lot of materials here but those are the first things that really stuck out to me. >> you're very kind in saying people. i mean, be careful if you have a group text that you don't commit any crimes or get sued for liable because there's apparently a group chat between laura abraham, sean hannity and tucker and they -- you know, they chop it up about a lot of things and one of the things they were doing, as you were saying, aaron, is complaining that the news people and the polling people they despise and despise them were undermining the story they say is false. let me read a couple of these other things. there's the sidney powell of it, aaron. this is sidney powell communicating with tucker carlson on november 17, 2020. the this is after the election. sorry, just saw this. believe i emailed you the affidavit earlier today. more evidence pouring in. tucker says you keep telling our voters millions of votes are changed by software.

you've convinced them trump will win. if you don't have conclusive evidence, it's cruel and reckless thing be to keep saying, except that they kept saying it, he kept saying it. katie, let me bring you in here. the question i have is he's essentially warning sidney powell you better bring receipts because i'm putting you on my show and you're getting their hopes up and then he turns around and he keeps saying the thing. where does that leave fox in terms of defamation? >> it leads you directly down the path towards the state of mind of the speaker, of the defamation. the idea that the person when they're relaying the information that they knew that it was false because you have to prove actual malaise when you're dominion voting and you're suing fox news, it's just as important in terms of smoking gun evidence when you have these types of text messages, these chats, all of these emails evidencing that they knew or they recklessly

disregarded the falsity of what was being put out and pace with sickically peddled to fox news viewers. when you're suing somebody you can say, in good faith, i was reporting. it was newsworthy. it was important to talk about a challenge to a 2020 presidential election but what does fox news in here is the fact that they may be at some small measure of time thought maybe this is not totally credible, but in the absence of the evidence they kept on asking for they kept on pushing out a falsehood. that is the problem for fox news when it comes to this particular litigation. i want to emphasize something. it may not necessarily get to a jury in april. a judge could readily find in a couple of weeks on march 21st that dominion has proved its burden as a matter of law and the only thing left to determine is damages. >> wow. i mean, look, let me bring you in, curt. this is another text. between sean hannity and laura

ingraham on november 16th, the day before the previous text i read to you. hannity, a new branding campaign won't cut it. frankly without fox primetime, what does the country have? ingra ham, this is all vee near stuff to change the channel be. it won't be sustainable for four years this way. hannity, buckle up. people are headed away until after the new year. not my first rodeo. numbers will crash. we should all think about how together we can force a change. the audience that exists comes for us. that's in the group chat that also includes tucker carlson in which they're making it very clear that they know, curt, that what they're saying on each of their primetime shows is bs but what they're actually angry about is that the news people and the polling people are refuting what they are saying. so they're making it very clear that their agenda and their goal is to keep the money flowing in and the stock price up and news max and the competitors from being competitive but never in these group texts when they're just talking to themselves and

don't know it will come out do they say we think the election was stolen. >> yeah. isn't it inconvenient, joy, when the facts get in the way of propaganda, which is exactly what they are confronting on that chat. i mean, let's be very clear here, these people knowingly chose ratings over our republic. they have made a conscious decision time and again, even to the present moment in time, to continue airing baseless conspiracy theories. they're as much responsible for what happened on january 6th as donald trump. when you read all of these texts coming to light and the depositions that have been published, any sane-minded person comes to the conclusion that fox and rupert mourdock represent a clear and present danger to. they exposed it to millions of people they knew the entire time that it was all bs and yet they continued be to traffic in that to this very day at this very

moment on this very evening they will be doing that. i think it's all time that everybody involved in politics and media and our country start thinking about how we talk about fox because i'm not going to say fox news anymore because they're not a news organization. no news organization in america functions this way. no news organization in america knowingly goes out there to lie and mislead their audience and in fact to try to harm the institution of american democracy. fox is nothing more than a republican super pac and it's time we treat them and talk to about that. >> we call them fox. we're trying to be accurate here, aaron. i think probably my favorite piece of evidence in this filing is the woman who said that she -- the wind talks to her, that she was internally decapitated yet lives and that the late justice of the supreme court, scalia, was killed at bohemian grove in a conspiracy,

and that was one of the sources that was used. i mean, you're a journalist. you have to use real sources. that was one of the sources that was passed along to maria bartiromo and she then used i guess that and sidney powell as the basis for her show. was there anything in this filing that you've read so far, you've read more of it than i have, that shows that any of the journalists, the primetime journalists -- not the journalists, the primetime hosts were seeking actual evidence that the election was stolen and doing anything other than simply just looking for bodies to put on to say that it was so? >> well, i think if you look closely you'll see -- and this was something that was actually done on the air when tucker carlson had sidney powell on his air. i believe that was november 19th where he essentially isolated the fact that she didn't have evidence that she was promoting. now in the course of doing this he was suggesting that her complaints were serious, are to

be taken seriously, but he really did highlight the fact that she didn't have this evidence and she continued to be interviewed on some of these shows. she continued to be taken seriously in a way that these filings show many in the organization, both hosts and executives, understood that wasn't terribly serious. so the fact that this was tucker carlson effectively calling that out, at least at one point i think is a pretty good indicator of where things lied here. >> let me ask you real quick, katie, when it comes to trying to figure out damages, i mean, obviously if dominion becomes synonymous in the minds of millions of people with stolen elections that hurts their business, right? >> sure. >> they're in the business of selling voting equipment, et cetera. is that the way that a judge if they found for dominion would look at it, the lost potential business, or is there a punitive way the damages could go based on the fact that this wasn't just hurting dominion's brand, there was an insurrection that

happened. you're not legally saying they're tied to it but even rupert mourdock seems to say they were morally tied to it. >> that's a great question. dominion is seeking compensatory damages for its lost profits, the reputational harm, the loss to the reputation. we know for a fact, joy, that certain electoral areas jurisdictionally, they're not using dominion machines. they've lost that business. that's an actual calculable loss. the puni tifs is what i've emphasized. that's just for the compensatory. the pun tifs are not capped and what is really telling about the punitives is the fact that if i'm dominion, i point to tucker carlson who is right now taking january 6th surveillance footage and pushing another lie over and over again that what happened on january 6th was a peaceful tourist visit to the united states capitol and the fact that he relentlessly pushes the big

lie shows from a punitive aspect that they don't care. fox just doesn't care. the fact that's troubling is that it's not just tucker, laura, sean and the whole crew, we know it's not true, rupert mourdock in the evidence says on january 5th, 20 1 21, the day before the 26th, stop the trump myth that the election was stolen. that's the day before the election, joy. he's the head honcho. he could have ordered a directive saying you cannot push this information out anymore and yet they still did. the if you're looking at it as a judge or juror, you're going to say, i'm going to hammer then. i'm going to make it so they cannot ever do this again. >> it's fascinating. aaron blake, thank you for going through all of that data. katie fang and curt, thank you. next on "the reid out", if you want to rip into tucker carlson as a peaceful gathering,

if you thought that the doe mip onlawsuit exposing fox for lying to their viewers was going to give tucker carlson a change of heart and he would use his pretend news show to start telling the truth, think about it again. he was back at it last night doing exactly what everyone with a brain expected he would do with the excludes sieve access, speaker and name only, kevin mccarthy gave him to 40,000 hours of january 6th footage. he sherry picked that footage to show little clips showing benign footage and used those clips to lie about january 6th. never forget, tucker, along with most of the people you know at fox, admitted under oath in the dominion lawsuit in those depositions that they never

believed trump's election lies and repeated them anyway on air. tucker added to them producing a conspiracy theory documentary lying about the insurrection and last night he portrayed the sacking of our capitol as a peaceful -- >> they were peaceful, ordinary and meek. not insurrectionists. footage overturns the story you've heard about january 6th. protestors cue up in neat little lines. they give each other tours outside the speaker's office. they take cheerful selfies and they smile. they're not destroying the capitol, they obviously revere the capitol. >> that rather desperate attempt to own it, honestly? i don't think it's the ode tuckems thought it was. you have tom till lis calling it bs. the capitol police station tore into tucker saying it was filled with offensive and misleading conclusions about the attack but in a way tucker has done us all

a service because his trip down the soviet propaganda worm hole has led to more journalists asking questions. here's the video he showed with the shaman being led through the capitol by police which begs the question, whatever happened to the cops that were scene taking selfies. since we actually can't hear the sound on that tape, we have no idea what they're saying to him though we do know the capitol police chief defended them in his letter today saying what they were doing was deescalation. because tucker's not an actual journalist and fox isn't really a news network, his producers didn't bother to ask the capitol police to comment or get answers to those questions. and if this was the way those four hours went down, all peaceful like, why did officers from other jurisdictions have to

respond to the capitol to help? why did some of the peaceful tourists plant pipe bombs at democratic and republican headquarters and why weren't capitol police and staff better prepared when trump and his people were literally tweeting that they were coming? senator ron johnson, who ran with everybody else on january 6th, later lied saying he didn't feel threatened be because the mob was filled with trump supporters. well, is that why capitol police weren't more prepared? because we saw what happened in 2020 during the black lives matter protest. the preparation was not the same. also, we don't know this from that video, we don't know what time those scenes that he's playing took place. where are the time stamps? was it hour one? because the whole insurrection lasted for four hours. that's why real news networks need to have those tapes too. because what tucker's doing here is feeding his hard core viewers their feelings-based beliefs about that day knowing that many of them didn't watch the january

6th hearings and have probably never seen the raw footage of the violence. just like after the election, he is doing what he has to do to keep them to buy his supply and gas lighting everyone else. no, you didn't actually see any of that. and the cops who got the crap beaten out of you, nah, that didn't really happy if you. we did see it and we've got tapes. >> if you're moving, we need to move now. >> if we lose anymore time, we may have -- we may lose the ability to leave so if we're going to leave, we need to do it now. >> they've gained access to the second floor and i've got public about five feet from me down here below. >> copy. they are on the second floor moving in now. we may want to consider getting out and leaving now.

copy? >> ahhhhh! ow! >> i couldn't believe my eyes. there were officers on the ground, you know, they were bleeding. they were throwing up. they were -- you know, they had -- i mean, i saw friends with blood all over their faces. i was slipping in people's blood. >> i remember like trying to retain my gun. i remember guys chanting, like, kill him with his own gun. le so, like, yeah, i was tased i think about a half dozen times on the back of my neck.

>> get a snap of that. >> so unless this was like a west world style simulation where the tourism is that you get to go wild on the police, that ain't peaceful. i mean, if it was peaceful, why were members of congress in gas masks hiding on the chamber floors, including republican congressman andrew clive who pulled a fox calling this a normal tourist visit despite there being pictures of him barricading the chamber do you remember to keep the tourists from coming in. remember the guy who broke into speaker pelosi's office and propped his feet on the desk? does that normally come with a tour? if they didn't do anything wrong, why were more than 1,000 arrested and why have so many of

them pleaded guilty to crimes and gone to prison, for tourism? again, tucker testified under oath that he lies to his audience for money. those were not sight seers. you weren't hallucinating. all of that violence really did happen and pretending it didn't is just straight up disrespectful to the men and women who risked their lives to save the lawmakers, democrat and republican. sargeant, one of the officers who battled the mob that day posted this picture my souvenir from the peaceful sight seeing mob. the family of officer brian sicknick who died as a result of the insurrection issued a scathing statement saying what will it take to silence the lies from people like carlson? what will it take to convince people that the january 6th insurrection was very real, was very violent and that the event was orchestrated by a man who is every bit as corrupt and evil as were vladimir putin.

fictitious news outlets like fox and its rabid followers will not allow it. every time that pain of that day seems to have ebbed a bit, organizationing like fox have ripped our wounds wide open. lev us the hell alone. after the break, i will get more reaction from two former members of the house committee that investigated the january 6th attack. representative bennie thompson, who chaired that committee, and congressman jamie raskin.

all i know is that they were -- yeah, there were a lot of people in the capitol at the time who i think were in fear of their lives. i don't know how you want to describe it, but it was an attack on the capitol. >> i didn't listen to tucker carlson, i generally don't, but my recollection of the day is that it was not just some rowdy peaceful protests of boy scouts breaking through glass windows and doors to get into the united states capitol against orders of police as a crime. >> tucker carlson's rendition of what happened during the january 6th capitol attack is so messed up even republicans are calling him out for it. the joining me now are congressman bennie thompson and jamie raskin. congressman thompson served as

chairman. i do want to start with you, mr. chairman. it is very distressing, i think, for americans who experienced the ip sur rex just watching it on tv to see it lied about. i can only imagine it's much more upsetting for the two of you who experienced it firsthand in the capitol, but i want to ask you, what do you think the potential damage and harm could be from misusing that footage the way that tucker carlson is doing? >> well, thank you, joy, for having me. first of all, it brings in the question the security of the capitol. tucker carlson is the only person i know who's trying to change what people have seen with their own eyes. you might not like it, but it happened. as you know, we have 44,000 hours of video from every nook and cranny in the capitol, and

so what we show, actual product. we managed it, we made sure it was secure and so the process that the committee used is one that even tucker carlson shouldn't be able to misidentify or mischaracterize, but unfortunately he is. >> and i will note, again, this was a bipartisan commission, no less than liz cheney sat on this committee. she is not even a moderate republican, she's a conservative republican, so is adam kinzinger. i want to read to you, chairman thompson, what speaker kevin mccarthy said regarding giving that footage only to tucker carlson. he says he does not regret the decision to release footage of the january 6th riot to tucker carlson adding it was done in the name of transparency. what do you make of that?

>> well, why tucker carlson? here's somebody that promoted the big lie who said, in essence, the election was stolen, even had evidence that it was not but he kept promoting the lie. so now here is tucker carlson again promoting the lie about the video, and he's saying to the public, what you see and have seen with your own eyes is really not what happened. let tucker carlson tell you what really happened. but i believe in the public. i believe in transparency, but transparency comes with a process. the speaker chose tucker carlson, a number of networks, as you know, have asked for access to the video. to my knowledge, that's been denied. and as far as i know, there are no protocols in place to protect the security of the capitol.

and the worst thing, joy, is the day it became public was the same day that the speaker started raising money around the release of the video. the now was it about raising money or was it transparency? >> well, i'll leave that to the viewers to decide to which seems more logical. congressman raskin, you seemed to have a reaction to kevin mccarthy's statement that this was about transparency. >> well, it was obviously about getting himself elected speaker because this is one of the things he gave away on the road to becoming speaker, and now he's aiding and abetting an absolute fraud against american democracy. i mean, we worked for a year and a half in a bipartisan way and we assembled a huge mass of indestructible evidence demonstrating exactly what happened based on more than 1,000 interviews, more than 100

subpoenas, more than 100 documents all in search of the truth. we laid it out for the american people to see and they couldn't lay a glove on it. now they get 40,000 hours of capitol police footage turned over to one guy who already committed himself in the patriot purge mini documentary series to the absurd idea that this was a false flag operation run by antifa oren know gad fbi agents, and we found no evidence of that, and then they take pop shots against this huge, incontrovertible evidence. as the chairman just said -- when he was in court he knew that courtney powell, he knew rudy giuliani, new donald trump were completely lying about the

election. they were rid did i calling them and making fun of them behind the scenes and they went on tv and were spreading the lies and they are spreading the lies again. it is scandalous and dangerous and i'm glad there are republicans standing up. they do understand this is the beginning of the donald trump, you know, for president campaign because there's no way trump can get elected if people really reckon with the role that he had in inciting a violent insurrection against our constitution. >> you know, i wasn't aware that the fbi did false flag operations that were also benign tourism and tucker carlson has said both things. in the 26 months since the attack about 1,000 people have been arrested. about 1/3 of the defendants in these capital cases have been charged with assaulting or impeding the defendant. about 518 individuals have

pleaded guilty to federal charges, 420 defendants have been adjudicated since for their criminal activity and 220 have been since incarcerated. congressman raskin -- and yet do you know of any republican members during the insurrection who went out to talk to them? >> the i had a he have to go back and look at it. certainly people waiving to them. the fascinating thing, they claim they were really antifa and fbi agents but on the other hand they are trying to get them out of jail. which is it? why are they trying to get these antifa imposters out of jail for wagging war against the government for trying to overthrow an election which they apparently won. there's no logical coherence or order to anything that they are saying. we are in the realm of

outlandish conspiracy theory. it would be all right if they wanted to stay on the donald trump bandwagon but these kinds of deranged lives lead people to commit violence. i'm glad there are finally some republicans saying, whoa, we don't want to go here anymore. enough with the lying. there's a difference between truth and lies. the whole court system is based on that. more than 40 federal and state courts render decisions rejecting the big lies about the election. as you're saying. all of these people have been convicted and many of them have pleaded guilty to assaulting federal officers, trespass and committing seditious conspiracy against the republican. >> my final question, chairman thompson. do you have any concern that the access that this one person who, again, is a person under oath who admitted that he lied about his beliefs, this one person who

is also a favorite of vladimir putin's kremlin, that giving him this footage will actually put the capitol at risk. >> the future january 6th when we have to certify the next election. >> well, there's no question it puts everyone in the capitol, the visitors, the members of congress, the employees, everyone. as you know as a visitor to the capitol, it's a fairly secure facility. but there are also some things in that building that we need to keep secret. now with tucker carlson having unfettered access to that information, it clearly puts every individual there at risk.

it's kwhae had to do in order to become speaker. now what he's saying to the public, who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes? well, i believe what the them says it was in fact an insurrection. >> yeah, indeed, and a violent and deadly one. thank you both very much. and up next, the florida legislature begins a new session aimed at fulfilling ron desantis's anti-woke wish list. we'll talk with one of the outnumbered lawmakers doing everything they can to fight back. stay with us.

stop rybelsus® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking rybelsus® with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. need to get your a1c down? you may pay as little as $10 per prescription. we have made florida the nation's most desired destination and we have produced historic results, but now's not the time to rest on our laurels. we have the opportunity and, indeed, the responsibility to swing for the fences so that we can ensure florida remains number one. don't worry about the chattering class. ignore all the background noise.

keep the compass set to true north. we will stand strong. we will hold the line. we won't back down. and i can promise you this, you ain't seen nothing yet. >> before governor ron desantis opened the florida legislature saying he would use his power for republican retribution. they have a super majority and are set to pass a full slate of repressive laws. if you are a teacher, you can't talk about gender identity from the third grade to eighth grade. you are not allowed to use any pronoun except for the one you were assigned at birth. do you want to major or minor in gender studies in college? not if republicans get their way. and any discussion of intersectionality at the college level. it would end any diversity, equity and inclusion programs. if it ain't white, it ain't right in desantis land.

school board positions would go from partisan to nonpartisan. anonymous sources would be deemed fake. the law would make it easier to sue journalists if politicians don't like what they write. they have to register with the government forcing people to get government permission to form an opinion. on abortion the republican legislature doesn't think the 15 week ban goes long enough. they want control of a woman's body at six weeks. they want to make it a felony to drive your undocumented child in school. which, depending on the law is interpreted, could literally mean just living with them. the legislature is eager to clear desantis's path to the presidential nomination by silencing any opposing views or

risking any unhelpful stories about him or them. they are also covering all the right-wing primary culture war bases by allowing people to carry guns in florida, permit free, which should be great news for shoot schools for two years. while ignoring actual crises like housing affordability and insurers living the state. casey wondering if this man actually cares about florida at all. i mean, just look at his coming schedule. this week, desantis is taking his book on tour to alabama and iowa iowa. joining me is florida state representative norah's common. a thank you, representative as kimani, for being here. i can imagine what it's like to be in the minority watching what what republicans are doing. are they open about the fact that they are doing this in order to give this antecedent run for president. on >> thanks for having me, joy and were watching and we're also fighting back, as you know, in florida. we might be a minority but the leverage of every opportunity we have to call out the fire

weight and to point out how extreme there. i really think republicans are as blinded by power here in florida. just today they filed a six-week ban on abortion. something that government desantis didn't mention in his speech because he's too scared to talk about abortion. it's important for us to ensure that the american people understand that what is happening in florida is not what you want to happen across the country if this man get anywhere near the white house. >> the thing is, having a supermajority enables him to get his whole wish list through. and i'm just gonna put up some of the bills. there is the don't say gay expansion, there's the ban on diversity and equity programs at public universities, partisan elections, making bloggers register, the immigration bill. a blizzard of legislation. and then he can go out and say hey, i can do this for the country. fabulous santiago, who writes in the miami herald, said that they have what every dictator,

has to laminated of are what people think, what they love, what they read, total political control overland policy without organized policies policy to offer an alternative. floridians must wake up. but that wouldn't be the way it is an, washington state? so he is sort of selling his base false premise, that he could do this and washington. and in washington you would have the senate and the house. >> right. no, that's true. he's trying to out trump trump in every way he can. what is worrying is the concentration of power that he has seen florida, where you don't have checks and balances anymore. the legislative branch has been co-opted by the governor. the judiciary, like the federal supreme court, is being co-opted by the raiders well, and so i do worry that as we continue to move down this path, the checks and balances one exist anymore. republicans, like we see the trump effect, there tua scared to challenge someone like trump because if they do they will be primaried. they'll be rejected. and we have seen the same type

of mentality in florida when it comes to desantis. going up against trump in the primary, very questionable that desantis would survive that. but at the same time, the fact that we are navigating these extreme policies and florida, where the canary in the coal mine for the american people to get everyone warning of what could happen if you don't stop desantis now. >> well, he'd be going up against somebody who doesn't have lived in issues appear taller than the. it's let me ask you this, because there is obviously a senate and house of the state of florida, but you are already super minority. is there anything available to democrats in order to make sure that the percentage of the population, the state is at 100 percent republican. the people who don't want this and who don't want bigotry baked into the government to defend them. >> such a great question, joy. this has to be inside outside strategy. so we will do what we can in the legislative chamber. i have spent hours today just

working on amendments for different backed bills. strategies for college colleagues, leveraging every rule we have to delay these bills, a man these bills, and hopefully destroy these bills. but we can't do it without the public. we can't do it without floridians calling the lawmakers, coming to tallahassee. i just hopped off the reproductive health that had more than 200 people attending. the energy is there. we have to mobilize it in the direction to have an effect, which is why paying attention to state politics is so important. we need every floridian to wake up and realize what is it stake before we lose all of our correct collective freedoms and rights. s >> does anybody say who didn't vote say i wish i had? >> always. >> especially young people who did not realize there was a mid term or feel a motivation about a mid term. elections have consequences and we are fighting power in that pain, to help energize today,

and in fact through my voters just ration organization, were hosting youth are galas asian boot camps to get young people plugged in. >> yeah. we lost or audio. 1.3 million people just eight home in this what happens when they stay home. you get somebody like this who is clearly drunk with power and thinks he can get himself a federal upgrade. florida state representative, anna eskamani, thank you so much. we'll be right back. ht back. all it takes is eight minutes to get started. then work with professionals to assist your business with its forms and submit the application. go to getrefunds.com to learn more. - [female narrator] five billion people lack access to safe surgery. with its forms and submit the application. thousands of children are suffering and dying from treatable causes. for 40 years, mercy ships has deployed floating hospitals to provide the free surgeries these children need. join us.
