anything that is going to be disturbing or i guess othe than what they want in their bubble we should go back to the dictatorship that we came from >> exactly, you want democracy and freedom in plurality and pluralism? this is what you, get you read books. julia, thank you so much for all that you have done and for this remarkable look at all of your work. julie alvarez is the author of how the garcia girls lost thei accents. >> thank you so much >> i want to watch that again. that does it for me. thank you for. watching kashmir every saturda and sunday morning from 10 a to noon eastern. stay right with me inside with jen psaki begins right now. >> it has been a head spinning and historic week in america the former president arreste and arraigned. the stunning expulsion of tw lawmakers in tennessee and late friday, a ruling on the portion pill that coul have enormous implications for women all across the country

senator catherine cortez masto described that texas rulin with a word i cannot say o television and that exclusive interview i coming up first. plus, what is next for justi j. pearson one of the tennessee three who captivity the country this week i will ask him when he joins m in just a few minutes. meanwhile, after donald trump' arraignment in new york, republican stepped up thei calls to defund the fbi into the doj. i will explain all the reasons why the gop is anything but th party of law and order and later, what was th governor of california doing i alabama? i traveled to montgomery for a wide-ranging conversation with governor gavin newsom. i asked him about gun reform abortion rights, the trump indictment and of course his favorite foil, ron desantis. i try not to be alarmists on this show, but every now and

then there is good reason to b alarmed. on friday night there was a ne assault on women's rights in this country because a federal judge in amarillo, texas, issued ruling that may undo the fda's 23 year approval of the drug myth oprah stone mifepristone is one of the two drugs commonly used in medical abortions. and the man responsible fo that ruling was matthew -- who has made no secret of hi strong opposition to a woman's right to choose. in fact, back in college h wrote this in a school newspaper. the democratic party's ability to condone the federally sanctioned eradication o innocent human life is indicative of the mora ambivalence under guarding thi party. he was talking about moral ambivalence back in college. after working for a number o conservative causes, he even served as a trustee on the board of an antiabortion organization so it is pretty safe to sa that restricting reproductiv freedom, limiting abortion rights has all been the focu of his career today. the thing is that if his lates

ruling stands, millions of women across the country wil be impacted aids, because more than half of all abortions are medical abortions. using this to pale met regimen that includes mid upper stone. even in some states wher abortion is legal this rulin may mean that women can no longer go to the pharmacy to get the pill they might need to go for it directly to a provider the problem with that is tha as of now only 36 states eve have legal abortion providers. and many of those are alread overwhelmed by the influx of patients coming from other states where abortion is now illegal. that all means that patients may have to wait weeks o months for an appointment an that patients seeking an abortion, patient seekin consultation with a doctor in short, this is all going to dramatically cut access fo women. but the impact is also far mor reaching for the medical community. this judge has no medica background none whatsoever.

but his ruling could describ what scientists at the fda hav deemed safe for decades. this has never happened before a court has never revoked fd approval of a drug on ground like this. what if the judge has personal issue with the use of stem cells or the components o a cancer drug? can they also overruled th medical community in those cases to and if they do, what do people who need those drugs do? right now across the country pro-choice governors are tryin to figure out what exactly the have the power to do it is not that the ruling was huge shock but their options are limited. some states may take steps t expand access to mid oppressed stall, which is the other drug in the abortion pearl regiment that drug can be taken t safely and a pregnancy it's gone that way in europe and other parts of the world but it also has long bee considered both less effective and more painful again, putting all of this burden on women. meanwhile, the legal pat forward may also sound a littl bit complicated.

that's because another judge i washington state also on frida night issued a competing rulin that effectively protect access to mifepristone but only in 17 states as wel as d.c.. the justice truman's already also filed an appeal of th texas decision that will ask the supreme court for emergenc relief but if no higher court acts by friday then matthews order could take effect and all of this will likely end up before the supreme court. so if you thought the dobb decision was the last word o the rollback of women's rights in this country, by our cour system, judge has america th other plans. joining me now is democratic senator catherine cortez masto of nevada. thank you so much for joinin me here this morning the dobbs decision was i think unquestionably a fire alarm fo abortion access for millions o women across the country you senator have been sounding the alarm over access to mifepristone for months.

how does the impact of thi ruling compared to jobs, i your view, in terms of the impact on women? >> it is a continuation, jen it's just like you said. we are alarmist, and we should be it started way back when, when they started putting these far-right federalists are just on the bench for this very reason and this is what - i come from nevada in a stat it is a proud pro-choice state two thirds of the voters her voted to allow and codify ro versus wade and you can really respect women's right to choos which is democrats and republicans and non-partisan and men and women. i can tell you just in the las two years as i was going aroun the state talking about my reelection, this was an issu for so many people, becaus they saw what was happening, this erosion of women's rights in this country when it come to the right to choose

and reproductive freedom rights. that's to me is the path tha far right extremist republican started when they starte stacking the supreme court when they started stacking these benches with these federalist judges. and now we are seeing th repercussions. what is so crazy about all o this, john, and we know this is that the repeal of roe v. wade, which was their ultimate goal, the ruling in there said we need to leave it to the states let's give this back to th states and the elected officials. it is a states rights issue. well, my state is a proud pr choice state but this decision by thi right-wing judges going to hav an impact on whether we ca provide the essential care tha is safe and effective that women need when it comes t medicated abortion it is unprecedented. >> it is unprecedented and you get it is wort repeating, a judge has never overrule the fda on thes grounds before there are some members o congress who have suggeste that president biden and other

leaders should ignore th ruling i certainly understand the sentiment. but do you think that is a viable path forward? >> no, we can't ignore the rule i believe in the rule of law and listen, i'm in the, vada i'm one of the 17 states you just talked about that as part of that ruling in washington that is protecting the right t have access to this medicate abortion, mifepristone and it is important that we le it play out and continue t fight in the courts. this is not a call to action for everyone, whether it is in the court system or when you g to vote, are making sure tha there are electe representatives, particularl those far-right electe republicans, who are makin these decisions on our behalf. they are listening to th american public. because in the vetted tw thirds of the voters support a woman's right to choose. but across the country the majority of american support a woman's right to choose. here is what i, now and this i a concern i think for all of u to pay attention to and why it

is important to see the next step this is a concerted effort the have had to really erode and take aback women's rights in this country and this is about our freedom. i talk to people in nevada this is about it once right to choose and the freedom t access the science and the medication they need when they need it. i would never impose my rights in my beliefs on a woman i don't know what it is like t walk in her shoes. for a woman to make thes decisions, she should have all of the available information and medication and access an science and doctors and make those decisions that are important for her. but what these right-win judges and others who ar making these decisions for u to think is that the representatives should be th ones making these decisions, and taking away these rights for women. it is starting with the repeal of roe v. wade and now they ar taking away the key drug tha women need with their doctor to make these decisions. and it is not just about

abortion it is about when there is miscarriage. the next step is contraception going after women's rights whe it comes to our reproductive freedom in the need fo contraception. so this is a concerted effor that we have seen playing ou across the country, and we hav to be vigilant i will say this, jen the good news is what we saw i wisconsin, the voters in wisconsin and kansas and michigan, i don't understand why these elected republican do not get that this is such a emotional, personal issue fo individuals. and that's why you see voter coming out and saying no, yo can't take this away from us >> it does seem, as you said such a majority of people in a nevada, democrats an republicans independents supported women's right to choose republicans have been pretty silent here. do you think this ruling could be a political problem for them? >> i will tell you what, the

republicans in my state are no silent when i was running for reelection they came out and they supported me, and we di press conferences together and that is one of the reasons why i am back in the senate. i am back and elected to address this issue, to protect women's rights in the state of nevada so again, it comes down to listening to the america public, listening to voter about what voters want and it's not ignoring what t the voters really want for their own freedoms for some sort of personal gain and that's what we see happening across the country with some of these far-right extremists who are only in their for their personal gain, and are taking away and erodin the rights of women across thi country. >> senator catherine corte masto, thank you for being s it's poking on this issue fo so long. hopefully we will talk to yo again about it soon. up next, why am actually hopeful about what we saw this week one of the expelled lawmaker just in jay pierson joins me i just a few minutes

plus, my conversation with california governor gavin. newsom he had some tough words for red state governors, and one in particular. , later the leader of th circle party of law and orde which was charged with 3 felony counts. we are just getting starte here and we will be right back ♪ music playing upstairs ♪ we'll be here. ♪

including 39-year-old kids but what we saw this week made one thing clear. activism works kids and parents and state lawmakers all stood up and spoke out. and made it so that republican could not just look away what we saw this week from republicans in tennessee was fear fear that the outrage over gun violence might put som pressure on them to actually d something. or at least make it harder t do absolutely nothing. this was never about decorum o abiding by some outdated archaic rules about the hous floor in tennessee this was about silencing affective black messengers speaking hard truths and that attempt to silenc these lawmakers backfired. badly. but they expelled them in part for bringing a megaphone to th house floor. but now they have given thes legislators in a much bigger megaphone. one that is being heard al across the country

>> we called for you all to ba assault weapons. and you respond with an assaul on democracy but you will not be victorious because there are generation of young people who see what i going on >> you are seeking to expe district 86 is representatio from this house. in a country that was a bill on a protest in a country that was built on a protest. but >> the voices of justin pearson and justin jones, wh you just heard, are exactl what we need in this moment. in the wake of that shooting i nashville, in the wake of 14 mass shootings in our countr this year, 141, i was watching this all unfold this week an it all made me think of a stor my former boss barack obam used to tell a lot he spoke about the impact of

one little old lady in greenville, south carolina with a big hat who reminded him on particularly long day during a particularly long month on the presidential campaign, believe me i was there, that there was still reason for hope. >> one voice can change a room and if it can change or room it can change a city and if you can change a city if you have a state. and if you can change a stat it can change a nation and if you can change a nation it can change the world. >> that story always stuck wit me, and this week really jus couldn't get out of my hea because our next guest i having exactly that kind of an impact that barack obama was talking about in that clip just in jay pierson who wa expelled from the tennesse state house this week is a person who is not only changin a room in a city but changin the conversation about gun violence in this country and he joins me after a quic break.

my next guest is one of tw members of the gop house expelled on thursday night since that, vote for republican justin j pierson ha used his national path platfor to enhanced the fight for gu reform and for democracy he joins me. now representative pierson thank you so much for taking the time this morning to have little chat with me. i wanted to assert when we could go you were a newly swor in legislator reeling from the mass shooting at local schoo and speaking up for your community. you have now become one of the faces exposing injustice and racism in the tennesse legislature and also in action in tennessee and around th country on gun violence. how does that all feel to you? >> we have to remember tha this started because of tragedy in nashville 39-year-olds were killed

three adults at the covenant school in nashville. and the tennessee stat legislator in the republican majority did nothing, and said nothing in the wake of tha terrible incident. and my colleagues and i'm goin to the house to advance this issue about the need for an en to gun violence and the need for us to stop listening to th nra more than we are listening to our people. that led to our expulsion. myself, representative jones and -- johnson. we are in a very terrible an terrifying time as it relate to democracy, and as it relate to the silencing of voices who want to see just gun control >> and today trying to silence you. that is exactly what they were trying to do by expelling you. but instead they gave you huge megaphone you said they are going to kee fighting, but what does that mean what can people expect >> for the residents o district 86 we have said thi for the legislature. we are gonna fight to be bac in the legislature through a

important process with the shelby county commission i addition to running for ou seat again in the special election, t serve district 86 in the state house. because that is what the voter want they want advocates who ar going to lift up the issues in our community. poverty and health care an education and events to gu violence >> now you have said you would accept reemployment or run a special election, as you jus repeated there but i am not sure i am not the only one, wondering afte everything that happened including on thursday night, how can you possibly work with republicans who expelled you moving forward >> this issue has never just been about the individua republicans. it is about an institution tha continues to operate in the wa that silence is the minority terms of peoples, mics does no allow for debate in committees the speaker named camera sexton operates as a dictato in the state house, instead of treating it as the people' house. it is an institution that need change but that changin

transformation can truly onl come when we have people externally who are advocates pushing and protesting, like those children and teenagers who are speaker called insurrectionists having them in the extra, null and having people inside who are progressive. representative johnson and jones and myself are all sayin that the calls for justice i too important for thei partisan politics, and their desire to devolve our democrac into a dictatorship and to persist. >> there were thousands of people, kids elementary school kids, protesting for the lac of action on gun violence, and taking steps that you ar fighting for in the hous floor. and the day you were expelle shannon watts who is the leade of moms demand action, a gun violence activist group ha been around for a long time, t a date, i've been doing this work for nearly 11 years and today is the first time cried because i could feel a shift in the psych us in america against gun extremism. that is pretty powerful fo somebody who has been doin this for a long time do you think we are seeing tha

kind of a breakthrough what are you feeling on th ground >> i believe that this peopl powered movement in gu violence is growing. i believe that the energy that you are seeing from young kids from teenagers and young adults, who say that the status quo is not working and the status quo is only lead to consistent and persistent harm on our communities. but we are not going to take people who have been i positions of power for a ver long time, abusing their authority to propagate to th nra, to propagate gun lobbyist over the voices and the idea and the opinions and the perspectives of children and parents, who want to ensur their kids go home after the go to school but also people who live i communities like mine, or my own high school classmates o affected by gun violence who don't want to live in that reality. there has to be something that will change and i believe this will happen in america and i tennessee. >> there was an incredibly powerful photo of you huggin an emotional mom from th covenant school which has been circling around. it's gone all over socia

media. i looked at that photo as a mo and they made me incredibl emotional. talk about that moment and how you are feeling. and what kind of other feedbac have you been getting from the community? >> that's -- and she is a five year old named no in covenant school. and i agreed i mourned with her, because she should not have to be worried about her child going to school and they'r being a school shooting. she should not live in a state where the only response of the legislature can provide as w have to have more armed people at the school. to see her and to see thousand of people who are saying there have to better solutions and more guns. and there are better solutions that we know of. advocates him in the state legislature. to see her face and to tal with, her it was a wholl moment i told her that god gave noah rainbow, a sign, and you payments a sign for all of u in this movement >> incredible message to share

with her as a mom, thank you for sharin that with me, too. watching everything go dow this week, a history of racism and it discomfort with disruption is fair to say that it played a big role in your expulsion. only one message to youn people in tennessee who ma look like you or may not, bu are interested in public service and see what i happening to you and say why would i put myself through all of this? >> yes because the fight for justic is worth it. racism exists. sexism exists. zenith will be a, transphobia, homophobia all of these exist in thes injustices are harming peopl in the state in positions of power, which is why we need ne voices and new people who ar advocating for a different division the reality and the reason tha i want to serve district 86. the reason they jumped into th race to be of service, i because i believe there is a different vision that is possible and for young people we have a different vision, and it is th right one. it is morally right and morall

justifiable. if we work forward and fight for it, just as our ancestor did when they marched in protested and raised their voices in order for us to have opportunities like this, i believe the generations from now my indigenous brothers and sisters will remind us that we will look back on this momen as a turning point in th history for this country and so, let's fight together >> representative justin jay pearson, thank you for you strength in this moment an your voice thank you so much for spending a little time with me this sunday >> thank you so much >> thank, you absolutely we will be following you closely. and coming, up my wide-ranging conversation with california governor gavin newsom. he weighed in on the indictmen of donald trump, and he clearl had some things to get off his chest about ron desaisnt back after a quick break using the services you want in the clouds of your choice. with flexible multi-cloud services that enable digital innovation and enterprise control,

vmware helps you innovate and grow. my active psoriatic arthritis can slow me down. and enterprise control, now, skyrizi helps me get going by treating my skin and joints. along with significantly clearer skin, skyrizi helps me move

with less joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and fatigue. and skyrizi is just 4 doses a year after two starter doses. skyrizi attaches to and reduces a source of excess inflammation that can lead to skin and joint symptoms. with skyrizi, 90% clearer skin and less joint pain is possible. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine, or plan to. with skyrizi, there's nothing like the feeling of improving my skin and joints... ...and that means everything. now's the time to talk to your doctor about how skyrizi can help treat your psoriatic arthritis- so you can get going. learn how abbvie can help you save. >> here is a question some o

hi, i'm eileen. i live in vancouver, washington and i write mystery novels. dogs have been such an important part of my life. i have flinn and a new puppy. as i was writing, i found that i just wasn't as sharp and i new i needed to do something so i started taking prevagen. i realized that i was much more clear and i was remembering the details that i was supposed to. prevagen keeps my brain working right. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

you might have had this week what the heck is the governo of california doing in alabama i caught up with governor gavi newsom in montgomery while h was in the spring break trip i the south with his family. it was a bit of a working trip for the governor he wants to get more democrats elected a red states lik alabama mississippi an arkansas and he is even putting $10 million of his own campaig funds left over from his reelection to boost that effort he had something to say abou how his counterparts in thos

red states are handling th issues like gun safety and abortion rights. and he had some very choic words for one governor i particular ron desantis here is a part of ou conversation >> so let's start with why you are here you have pledged to take o authoritarian leadership in re states why are you as governor of california, -- on the issues i think it i safe to say, i want to tal about this >> we are all citizens we are not an. aren't we have to be mor active we have agency, we can shape the future i have been a representative state of 40 million americans. in the spirit of dr. king, who lost his life 55 years ago today, we're all livin together by mutuality in thi notion that we are celebrating politicians that are promoting a national divorce, almost a civil war narrative. it sickens me to my soul so i felt compelled to get out

and at least express my rule and individual responsibilit as a citizen not just as governor, to call out what i a seeing >> i do want to ask you at all that because i agree with yo but what is happening in the states that people just are no aware of in terms of crackin down on peoples rights we are sitting here in a historic, sadly historic momen in our country, where th former president of the united states is being arraigned, has been indicted for the firs time there are millions of american who have been waiting for ther to be some accountability here for the former president are you one of them? who's been waiting for that? >> i don't mind the indictment so, sure i am for accountability. wherever i am fo responsibility regardless of status and title, of course, i that respect i am also saddened by it i mean, it is a spectacle. can you imagine with the res of the world's thinking? it's just sad. it's sad i'm not even making this up. before i came here to the rosa

parks museum in alabama, florida, i come here to visi with the legacy museum talking about slavery. which by the way in my state in the state of california, in the persistence and th assaults against the african american community at this moment i was having to explain to m 11 year old with a porn star was, okay? on tv. that is a little depressing an distressing. trying again to focus on the world we are living, in whic to me is so much more profound than what is being pronounce on the national news right now not that it is not consequential, but not so much in the context of our body politic in the future. but i'm just trying to fin some balance between that an what is happening all across this country, with racia injustice it occurs ever single day where there is n accountability, where people are rolling back peoples rights where poor people are being to

me because they love people, differently, folks wit intellectual disabilities like that guy ron desantis who is attacking and threatening th special olympics going after free speech. banning books. that is a serious thing as well, and i guess i'm just trying to find a little bit of balance i the context of the current politics that are being star of our national debate >> and how things are impactin peoples lives very much, which those issues are impacting people a lot more. you mentioned, florida governo ron desantis >> i do often i am floridian - >> - over the last couple of years. >> not a fan >> he has had some responses of late that hav been hugely problematic, offensive and dangerous. one of them is going after the manhattan district attorney, echoing the language of former president donald trump with that threatening language suggesting that democrats ar weaponizing the judicial system but you are also very astute political guy. do you think that is smart

politics in the republican primary? >> no, i thought it was. week this is purely th politician in me -- currently one being a politica pundit so forgive all of us >> we will give you a moment >> because you just live t subjectively in an effort to be subjectiv as a pundit you just look weak weakness masquerading strength >> so if you are advisin governor desantis, what you are, not i know that. what is his political path here? should he be running away from criticizing trump? should he be speaking out fo the rule of law? >> he is going to -- get by trump trump is going to roll him thumped. honestly, if i were offering him political advice i would tell him to pack up and wait a few years. and actually do some of th hard work, which include governor not just against th and cultural war actually go back and start t address some of those insuranc issues, cost issues. those are very familiar, i'm very humbled by all of this.

i understand there is systemic trouble, i'm the first t acknowledge it i am my own worst critic i've been working on some of those issues expanding medicaid on the backs of folks out ther that need preventative care. i'd be focusing on the environment and mother nature, that's 1000. i know that from being i little rock and arkansas this is a serious moment i american history, worl history. i hope we can start to focus o some of those issues that would be my advice. come back. when you are a season capabl leader when you have some humility. which by the way he could use little of. >> there was a pretty startlin split screen you had 1000 kids in nashville out there protesting a lack of action on gun reform measures. well you had governor desantis signing a bill on permit-les carry behind closed doors. what do you make of that >> scared to death

>> who is he scared? of >> the people >> the people of florida >> but overwhelmingly oppose that position. the majority of nra member probably oppose that position. no background checks no background checks at all? really i mean, no training? why would you do that with weapons of war >> which is what permit-less carry means. >> it is extreme in th extreme. not, surprising a guy that doe not believe that a young gir should have the freedom to determine her own reproductive future, and has to bear th child of her rapist. in the name of freedom, withou the exception of rape an incest that is what we are gettin from these folks so, look it sickens me to my core and i will tell you, you would have more insight than anybody so you can - what happened in tennessee - i called the white house full disclosure. i said, i can't take it.

i have four young kids, can't. i was giving the same speeches that every politician gave monterey park, - i gave it prior down in gilmore. we see the chance. i can't take it. i can't take it. and then to see the same governors talk about menta health, unique apparently in america. to talk about parents an family, all the bs and then to claim to care abou life when the number one cause of death for our children' guns it is shameful they are shameful. and it should shock our soul that it is becoming so normalized it is a matter of hours now, not even days. i thought we would never mov on from parkland never move on from uvalde. never move on from buffalo i had to read the manifesto. i read the manifesto from th shooter in buffalo i still have chills thinking

about that manifesto to understand this, this i serious. the manifesto allegedly from the shooter in tennessee, al connected this broader contagion. they don't care about our kids because if they did that would ban these dam weapons of war they need some common da sense. they don't have it those kids in the capital, god bless every single one of them >> what do you think the hol is that the nra or the gun lobby has? >> it's a whole subsidiary o special interest >> money >> money and power and threats of money being used. it's not just what you see but the things that are behind the scenes that are more impactful the threat of going after. the example. what was lecturing about it was not just about th direct assault on an individua in the family, it was abou sending a message to the res of the community about power and control an dominance and aggression those are themes you are hearing from these republica governors. power, dominates and aggression >> since roe was overturned an

long before that, you have bee a very vocal advocate fo abortion rights. what do you say to the woman i these states, idaho and florid and other states where additional restrictions have been passed since jobs, an governors are attempting to pu them in place? >> you can accuse me of many things, but not bein inconsistent almost a year ago i put up 2 billboards in seven states ver specifically answering you question >> but now all these women who are probably encouraged by those billboards may not b able to afford to travel t california >> i know. >> so what do you tell them in terms of how you can fight for their rights against this? >> we've been putting up resources and fundraising in that space we'll continue to remind peopl that we have your back, it is eight on abortion.gov. we put at a website with all o a toolkit of what we do an can't do, and how we can provide as much support as w possibly can >> on lgbtq+ rights you were

way ahead of the curb. i was working in democrati politics back then >> wasn't so popular for the party. >> i think it is going t remember that you are marrying thousands of couples in sa francisco, and many prominen democrats would not be out there saying with you. now, as you look to where we are today, there is more tha 400 anti lgbtq+ bills, i a sure they're talking about thi on your show do you feel disheartened b that >> to my core. i mean, remember i am from california we have something called - the initiative it was the original anti-boome bill a look at up, ron desantis and yet a guy by the name of ronald reagan, another guy tha republicans should look up, wh had the courage to oppose th briggs initiative. which was basically saying i you are gay you cannot teach our kids and he similar to the don't sa gay bill which passed? here it is even more extreme than the one passed in florida it echoes similarly and it goes, reagan you had the courage saying you cannot catch aids

like you can measles i had the courage to come ou against that i am very worried for the lgbt community in the trans community. i mean, drag shows, that's mor importance than expandin medicaid >> hearing you talk about al these issues, you said you are not running in 2024. i believe you, you are on th presidents advisory committee. but people watching you, i how you are talking with these issues passionately, it does not sound like somebody wa retiring in 2026 >> i am not. i am with justice -- democracy is the most importan office he never said governor president, he says he wants to support the office of citizens so yes, if that is the worst-case i get to retire int that, i am all for it. so, no i am not running and know it is the perfunctory question we have to ask anytim somebody puts out a -- i get it but i am turned out, don't know what else to do wit the money. and this is a way of amplifyin

good people all across the country, and supplying are present in the possibl process. >> my thanks to governor gavin newsom for his partner jennife seafoam newsome in his entir family and all four kids for spending some time with me i alabama this week. we're gonna put much more of a conversation on line and cover lots of other topics i also sat down with california's first partner jennifer - newson you can watch that ful interview and more of my cha with the governor on the msnbc youtube page and on msnbc.com. coming up, we all know o republicans see themselves a the party of law and order we have heard that a few times but the facts still quite different story. and donald trump getting hit with 34 felony charges definitely does not help their messaging. more on that when we come back

shouted 50 years of republican hypocrisy on crime you may also remember back i 2016, donald trump was prett focused on this very issue he seemed to take a liking t nixon's message during which he repeated nearly verbatim on the campaign trail >> and i want everything to be law and order and justice an everything perfect this is a massive crime wave that is what's going to happen he is not going to happen if i get elected. believe me >> ironically the law and orde candidate who led chance o lock her up about hi democratic opponent in 2016 is now facing 34 felony accounts. and his arraignment on tuesday might be just the first of man courtroom appearances. he is also facing possible criminal charges out of georgia, as well as potential federal indictments over his role on january 6th. and his handling of classified documents. but even putting trump and his legal woes assigned, you do no

need to look far to find mor examples of republican hypocrisy on crime in 2020, many people in th country were protesting th death of george floyd at the hands of police. and we heard a lot of toug talk, even fearmongering, from trump's republican allies. >> are you for law enforcement and the rule of law? or are you going to stand with the mob? >> defunding the police is maybe the most insane public policy proposal i have eve heard. >> i stand with officer rolf against the more on police >> they will disarm you an empty the persons and lock you in your home and invite ms-1 to live next door. when the police are not coming when you call, intercut ru cities they are already bein defined. it disbanded >> invite ms-13 to live next store. now, an effort to protec donald trump those sam defenders of law and order our themselves waging an assault o law enforcement. >> doj and fbi, if you never

hold them accountable throug the legislative process, eithe through law or budgets, of course power is going to accumulate there >> we love to look at th appropriations process and limited funds going to some of these agencies >> we have to defund and mak cuts in the department o justice. >> we either get thi government back on our side or we find and get rid of, an abolish, the fbi and cdc and anti-half. doj, every last one of them. >> you heard that correctly. republicans have apparentl come full circle it turns out that after al their fearmongering, they ar the ones who want to defund la enforcement. remember, the job of the justice department is not just to file abstract legal decrees it is to keep our country safe that phrase is literally i their mission statement. they also oversee the fbi, which handles domestic and international terrorism, organized crime, white colla

crime as well as the atf, whic plays a major role in fighting drug cartels but these so-called champion of law and order or want t defund, limited funds, and make cuts those are their words, no mine, to those very agencies so it is not just republican rhetoric, but also their actions. after the january si insurrection, 21 republicans voted against holding the gold medal to the very officers who protected their lives. and many of us did the january six defendants currently i jail donald trump's own budge during their last month an office with cutting funds to local law enforcement. if you worry about crime and want law enforcement to be fully funded and supported then the only paid place you should be directing your outrage towards's maga republicans, and they're now indicted leader. we are coming back right after a quick break. don't go anywhere.
