foot by 2050 >> but, we can slow it down. >> every tenth of a degree o warming is worth fighting for. >> to survive more blunt hea waves and droughts tha inflicted lethal toll of climate change nbc news, new york >> all right, thank you to and thompson for that report coming up in our next hour, live report from cape cora florida where residents ar spending earth day cleaning up the remnants of hurricane ia and talking about climat change as well we have got a lot more comin up you are watching msnbc, ou second hour, starts right now. >> hey, everybody. welcome. i am yasmin vossoughian. if you are just joining us, it is good to see you if you are sticking around, we thank you for that a nation reacting today to the supreme court's decision allowing the most commonly use abortion pill to remain widely available for now.

i'm going to talk to ohi congress women chantal brown o the impact it has in her district plus, her thoughts on the gop' wider culture war on the natio as president's pro campaig seat up on both sides of the political aisle this week. watch this >> i hope the next time ther is an indication, when you buy your heads in prayer, you se the blood on your hands. powerful worlds from the transgender lawmaker now being silenced by her colleagues later, the floor will be her here on msnbc. we are going to find out wha she is doing to protec transgender americans in her state. and, today, as i mentioned t this earth day as weather events become mor extreme each season, we ar gonna find out how this on community in florida is workin to bring a bit of harmony back to you mother nature >> we are gonna start with a temporary legal victory fo abortion rights activists afte the supreme court roe ruled to

keep another persona on th market for now it is coming just two week after a trump appointed texa judge suspended the fda' approval of the drug the case now heading to th fourth circuit court for mor arduous on may 17th. joining me now is and this nbc investigative reporter ror atkins for more on this. talk is about how the cour came to this decision sort o talking kicking the ball bac to the fifth court of appeal and what to expect >> sure. the bottom line here is that the justices ruled to pursue the status quo so matt's purse stone as it ha been accessible over, sinc 2016 with those regulation being updated, it remains th same so, people can still get up to ten weeks in pregnancy and, they're also still able t get to be a male they don't have to go in for several doctor visits or hav to get it in person. from my perspective, the defendants which are the fda pill manufacturer, they were

entitled to stay from hi perspective because they weren't able to prove that the were going to be harm to the interment or while this case plays out. however, if we do see it being pulled back as it would shif what access looks like people have to go tumult for multiple bit and the length of time to be able to get abortio using meditation would be down to seven weeks and i think it is really important to bring up the fact that >> you would've had to use method presto before seven weeks? >> yes which is not even when mos women know that they are pregnant >> correct >> people don't know that they are pregnant, and we saw that lot in texas banned abortion that ten weeks, that's befor anyone knows that they are pregnant, like you just. sad to what that really does i in pre effects people with the fewest resources because some people may not be able to take pay time off of work to go to three doctor visits and, people with resources wil always be able to get that typ of care. now, we did hear from th

president of nero who weighe in on this ongoing case battle take a listen. >>it undermines decades of fda precedent, and it is important for folks who understand, this is has much bigger ramifications than jus abortion rights although tha is what my organization focuse on this could undermine the entir fda, its system, it's an that's why we're seeing bi pharma and other organizations jumping into this case >> and, a lot of doctors that spoke to in clinics around the nation echoed that sam sentiment. it puts the fda in a reall tricky position. but they did add as it relates to a medication abortion, look if not the person does not become accessible at any point down the line, that they would pivot to that and i suppressed own regiment >> so what happens next it will go to the fifth circuit court of appeals may 17th, be heard, there what needs to happen for this the to go back to the supreme cour and end up on its docket >> right, on may 17th wher gonna see oral arguments i this case. and, what they are going to be doing is there's a foot circui

that will hear the merits of the case they will look at the facts of the case, they will evaluate the law, and then they wil issue their final judgment deciding whether or not they believe kacsmaryk's ruling was correct or sounds from their perspective. then, we could likely see this case going back to the supreme court. it just depends on how tha fifth circuit rules and wh will then ask the supreme cour to take it up. but, i do want to bring up that, look, as antiabortion advocate and lawmakers continue t really chip away at abortion access even after th overturning of roe v. wade, it really fires in the face o what americans support and american support access to abortion >> it is interesting when i did this piece that i travel to these 20 or so women from texas to mexico, this i when the six-week abortion ban was put into place in texas, that vigilante law we traveled an airline over ne mexico to an abortion clinic i which they all get abortions the majority of those women, and i thought of it because yo mentioned how this would b especially difficult for peopl

without resources. the martialized communities of women. the majority of those wome were black and brown women, an majority of those women were seeking out and were offered method persona has their medical abortion, especially because it didn't requir follow-up ointments. and many of them were before the 12-week deadline chloe atkins, i think. you appreciate it. all right, let's get reactio from the white house as well both the president and vic president released a statement celebrating the victory. but note the fight continues a the fifth circuit is now scheduled to hear this ora arguments. joining me now is monica alb at the white house with. as weigh in for us where does the white house stand on what is ahead for tha when it comes to abortio rights and specifically th fifth circuit, and if that i coming passively back up depending on how they decide >> well the white house really does see this as temporary relief they were relieved you could say about this decision coming

down today keeping the status quo, meanin that they will continue to remind those millions of women who may need access to thi drug that they can do so in th interim as this continues to work its way now through the lower courts but, the president and the vic president both warn that thi was indeed just something that was temporary and could change depending on what happens. so the president put it in ver clear terms saying that he was happy to see if i was going to pledge to continue to fight fo what he called politically driven attacks on women' rights and then the one who has bee the most outspoken figure in the administration on the topi of abortion access, ever since the overturning of roe v. wade she has held sometimes weekl round tables with stakeholders in this debate and she has bee traveling to a lot of differen places to get the most input o how this is affecting women wh really don't know where this

could end up and what it can mean for their help. she put out a statement, essentially saying the sam thing about vowing to maintain a fight. she actually made an unannounced visit last week to the women's march in l.a. wher she wanted to echo this messag and will continue to fight t make decisions about her own body including medicatio abortion like method restarted that nobody should stand between a woman and her doctor so, this is something that the white house is following ver closely knowing full well that if the supreme court doe decide to take this up in it next term, so in the fall of this year, it could take a lon time for that case to occur in terms of hearing arguments and then decision be rendered whic would probably happened well into 2024. which is in the middle of what we expect to be a very intense 2024 election campaign, an season but this is a white house aide tells me is feels emboldened s

far as why they from what they see is abortion being a really great motivating factor in their words for driving people to go out and vote in terms of more abortion access and so i think you can expec them to keep counting on that >> monica alba for us thank. you coming up in just 60 seconds, the fight for abortio access in ohio has multipl bills aim to restrict statewide bill on the issue. i'm going to speak with chanta brown on that, plus he reaction to the supreme cour ruling and, president biden's expecte reelection bid, coming up next reelection bid, coming up next shbacking you could earn on everything with just one card. chase freedom unlimited. so, if you're off the racking... ...or crab cracking, you're cashbacking. cashback on flapjacks, baby backs, or tacos at the taco shack. nah, i'm working on my six pack. switch to a king suite- or book a silent retreat. silent retreat? hold up - yeeerp? i can't talk right now, i'm at a silent retreat. cashback on everything you buy with chase freedom unlimited with no annual fee.

nationwide ban on that drug. the case now heads to the fift circuit which will hear oral arguments in the governmen appeal on may 17th joining me now is ohio congresswoman chantal brown to talk more about this congresswoman, thanks to joining us on this we appreciate. it give me first kind of you gut reaction to this ruling an what concerns you have ahead a we look ahead to that may 17th day. >> well, first and foremos thanks for having me happy earth day. i'm from ohio. i represent a state where ther was a ten year old, i remind you, a ten-year-old re-victi who had to travel across state lines to receive an abortion two in indiana because of th restrictive laws in ohio no exceptions for rape so, this is, gave us a big sig of relief because we know in 2021, over half of the abortions use this medicatio to perform the abortions and so, this is just a temporary situation.

because we know this is not th end of the republicans efforts to attack a woman's right to make her own health care decision this is about freedom. and i would be remiss if i did not remind our audience that how do we get here it was in 2016 when we had one of the most qualifie candidates running for presidents against one of th least qualified candidates and too many people in 2016 decide to stay home, took it fo granted that our candidate, ou nominee on the democrati ticket secretary clinton at th time, would win that election. and as a result, we go president trump in office wh appointed not one, not two, bu three supreme court justices and countless federal judges who are activists making activists decisions. republican extreme decisions about our health care. and we didn't feel that in 2016 17, but we feel it now right here in 2023 so we can not take these elections for granted, because this is an example of what w

mean when we say elections hav consequences >> so you mentioned the te year-old from ohio who had t travel out of state to seek an abortion i know that republicans held hearings for multiple bill intended to park abortio rights ballot measures fro getting a statewide phone. during those hearings, we hear from one republican lawmaker about that very issue. about the ten-year-old girl, that child and i want to pla that for folks and then ge your reaction on the other side >> while the pregnancy might have been difficult on a ten year old body, a woman's bod is designed to carry life. that is a biological fact. it is not designed to have disgusting death instruments remove her pre born child from her womb, both situations will be difficult but we know for a fact tha every single time life wins.

>> what do you make of that? >> it is stunning to hear that synopsis from a woman. because this is not abou unborn children, this is about access to health care. and this is about freedom. we have the gop who is hyper focused on reversing scientifi data that helps save lives i am not being hyperbolic when i say, this is a matter of lif or death for many women in man situations so when we talk about a part that is focused on, more focused on banning books and banning medication but aren' ready to step up to the plat to ban assault from friend that are killing bright living breathing children, i am a vaxxed, perplexed, and baffled at the audacity of their hypocrisy. >> so as we talk about abortio rights in this country and the fight over them. we also can't help but mention

the transgender rights as well and what is happening there. house republicans voting thursday to quote, prohibi transgender student athletes from competing on girls teams. it doesn't have a chance o success as it is being reporte by nbc news in the u.s. senate which is narrowly controlled b democrats. but, this is the first time an anti-trans bill has passed a chamber. what do you make of the effort to restrict rights to tran people >> i think, again, it just speaks to the republican backwards agenda how they are not focused o issues that are really impacting the majority o americans lives. the ability for young people t participate in sports is, think, low on the totem pole when we are talking abou inflation. when we are talking about bein able to get access t

affordable health care, when w are talking about the number o children who have lost their lives to gun violence. so, when we see the gop making efforts to put forth legislation, that really tha majority of americans do not support, it shows how out of step they are. they are again trying to tak away more freedoms than giving people more freedoms this is the party that claim they are about to smal governments, yet they seem t be all up in peoples busines when it comes to their persona decisions. so, i think that we have t unite and stand strong and mak sure that we are telling everyone how critical thes elections that are coming up our. in ohio right now, we have a primary election where judge are on the ballot. people need to show up and mak sure that their voices are heard, so that we don' continue to have people in positions of power makin decisions that will have generational impacts o everyday peoples lives these decisions are going to have the most adverse effect

on disenfranchised communities when we talk about the trans community and children, th number of suicide ideation i that they have is devastating. so, if this legislation that they are putting forth is goin to cause, it is going to cause more harm than good. and they need to be mindful of that so, this is a game that we wan to play the democrats are read and we are laser focused o making sure that we ca continue to put people ove politics >> congresswoman brown, thank. you great to talk to you coming up later this hour, i'm going to speak to montana stat representative zoe zephyr abou her plea to reject and anti-trans bill that led to he colleagues misgendering he calling for her center you won't want to miss tha conversation still ahead, a legal defea spewed ended for now between republican lawmakers ove letting one of his forme prosecutors testify before congress plus, a new report in the 21 year old airman accused of leaking classified documents that revealed he could hav potentially been sharing

back house republicans on th judiciary are celebrating as manhattan martin bragg has agreed to allow mark pomerantz to appear before their committee. all as part of the republica agree into the ongoing trump prosecution. but, deciding to allow his

testimony only comes after a federal judge declined to lack the interview. we want to bring in nbc's juli -- with more on this julie, if you would wal us through the agreement t have pomerantz appear before the committee. >> yasmin, republicans are celebrating for good reason. because the manhattan d.a. sought to brock the former prosecutor who worked on the criminal case against former president trump from speakin to the committee overnight w learned that the two parties the manhattan d.a. and the republican-led house judiciary committee, settled on an agreement. the committee says that they this is a win for the pane that bragg quote lost. they tweeted that yesterday. bragg, on the flip, side sayin that this was a join sentiment. that is officer saying tha they got a lawyer out of this. an attorney can be present wit pomerantz when he sets befor that committee in a closed deposition on may 12th this isn't going to be anythin like a public hearing or anything like that a committee spokesperson telling me that depositions ar

carolina former vice president mike pence, neck ramaswamy one of the other contenders was officially announce in thi field. but then you also look at th folks who are not here former south carolina governor nikki haley citing schedulin conflicts, and coordinat current governor ron desanti is not here speaking to th evangelical base of this party in the state and, look, it sets the trial because this is a large swat of conservative voters here in the state of iowa. you have to imagine that the are going to want to hear if there are any alternatives t donald trump but also the key issues that are important to them. they are happy with the courts the way that donald trump as u did them in terms of putting conservative justices on the bench, not just what the supreme court level but all th way on down through th different runs of the courts that is something that you hav to imagine we are going to hea from people like tim scott and others, who in recen conversations with me an others have said that he i proud to appoint folks to th supreme court that he voted fo during the trump era the other thing that is gonn be dominating, i imagine not

just here but also throughou this republican primary, i going to be the issue of abortion and abortion access not just in the conventional sense of where the ban wee mark is, but also as we look ahead to the way that othe states are making moves an courts are making moves an things like the abortion pill, it is something that i asked him scott here about earlier he said he trust the judges to ultimately make thes decisions. but, going forward the way tha other candidates talk abou this issue is going to be so critically important not just here in iowa at thi conference, but going forwar as i headed to the general election to. >> all right, ali vitali for us thank you, ali. let's turn to texas now we wil now have the public to the ten commandments poster public schools. the bills this week requirin schools to promote religion to two in their schools this requires all classrooms t display the ten commandments and every classroom. this now goes to the supreme court for consideration.

lgbtq pieces of lgbt legislation that republicans one of the books talk about this and more, we have so easy for joining u now. so it, it is great to see you. welcome back by the way, i know you and i spoke just a couple months ago so again, it is great to tal to you on this i'm just going to ask you firs and foremost, as you stood u inside that hall and you addressed all of you colleagues there, othe lawmakers, many of who disagree with who yo inherently are, and are trying to make other people not to be like you, what was that like for you? >> you know, senate bill 99 ou the the bill banning gende pharmacare was one of many bills targeting the tran community. we have seen bills banning art forms, our stories, allowing people to bilious in schools denies education we had a bill coming up that wrote us out of montana code

entirely and, for me in that moment i felt critical that i stand u in defense of my community and call out these pieces of legislation for what they are. just harmful >> what do you say to kids tha are watching you, they view yo as a role model. you have the courage to do wha you do, stand up to tran rights every single day. as a trans woman yourself, inside those holes as lawmaker to give them courag to continue on this fight with so many people trying to tak the rights away in this countr in your state specifically >> the first thing is what chance we will already know is that when we get to transition and live as ourselves, we live lives full of joy. i wouldn't be able to do the work i do in montana legislature and in my communit had i not transitions and come into myself really so, i would say first an foremost, stand tall i yourself and know that we ar going to win these fights in the end. even if we are not winning the here in the legislatures, with them in the courts, and we are

already waiting them in ou communities. when we stand up and show th world who we are and how w love the world >> i want to begin, as you mentioned there are so man trend anti-trans bills happening in your state. i want to dig into some of those we can some of the reporting that i'm going to read from is from the daily beast. saying quote unquote, montan could seem to find trans peopl out of existence as they put it the latest and most extrem piece of anti-trans legislation, as before five a which wil soon head to the house for consideration seeks to defin sex according to reproductiv capacity, stripping lega recognition from trans, not by an air, and those with intersects conditions. what can you tell us about thi bill and the worries that yo have about it passing? >> that bill was the bill, the first bill that the speaker di not allow me to partake in debate on. a bill he denied a trans woman to speak on a bill that righ side of coat it is a bill that mystifying

sex. they attempted to do it at the definition of sex thre different times. each time the medical communit said, this doesn't fit additionally, it opens up area where people may not be able t prosecute crimes against intersects children, it also opened up weirdly pulls in selling eggs for human cloning if you are intersects. poorly written bill but th intended to write trans people out of code. >> it is interesting because the freedom caucus in your state also misgendered you when they called for you to be punished for that speech that we just played at the ver top. on top of that, as we ar talking about these bills, there is another bill that you colleagues are pushing to make it easier for students i schools to do that very same two other students essentially misgendering them, allowing them to call them b their name that they were give at birth give us the status update on that and also, just what you se this doing to kids

>> so, the hypocrisy of th freedom caucus is apparent they have called for civilit in debates while misgendering. they called for-limite government will use an government to take away tran peoples access to health care. and, policies like the one allowing people to misgender trans students, it is designed to, they couple it with this notion of parents rights whe it allows parents or other students to bully tran children but whenever trans children ar asking to be themselves, the also want to take that right away >> it seems as if, and it is clear, that republicans want t use lgbtq+ rights for th taking away of them as a wedge issue heading into the 202 election what is your suggestion, you proposal as to how democrats fight back >> we need to stand up for our communities. and we are seeing that here. they are targeting me, but i

the rules committee, we hear native american native america women in my party call out the discrimination against her community. we have seen in tennessee when black lawmakers stand up and call out the gun violenc happening in their communities i think that it is important that we don't let those in the majority parties of public o republican controlle legislature set the rules to satisfy people we can be complicit as they tr to eradicate us. >> state representatives always, after you are very brave woman and a true leader and i hope you know that about yourself thank you so much for taking the time to speak with u today. >> after the break, everybod how new reporting on the potentially larger scope of th 21 year old airman's alleged documents leak could change ho classified information i secured and who is allowed t handle it. handle it. living with hiv, i learned i can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why i switched to dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment

use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. detect this: i stay undetectable with fewer medicines. ask your doctor about switching to dovato.

have now been delayed by two weeks after his lawyers said they needed more time to prepare. collab this is a msnbc securit analyst. mark, as always, it is fantastic to talk to you about this stuff how long is it going to take t determine just how man documents were leaked bide t share considering this lates reporting from the new yor times? >> sure. look, i think the final chapte of this story certainly has no been told. republicans just having any of the investigation. obviously the fbi la enforcement is going to lear quite a bit from questioning t share. they are also apparently reportedly interviewing a whol bunch of folks from these chat rooms. and so i think probably in the back of national securit officials minds is how far i going to go. first it was reportedly, 6 documents that 100 and 300 are there? more and that really is goin

to determine how serious thi is in terms of the damag assessments. what have compromised. so, i think that the story well it certainly has garnered a lot of attention of the last week, we are probably not goin to know the full extent fo weeks and months to come >> all right, if you can begin for as a real kind of damage assessment from what we know because we are looking at th 100 and intelligence weekend they have been told to stand down in their intelligence mission. other areas as, well other units as well have bee directed to reassess their security amidst this leak. what damage do you think has been done specifically t intelligence, and security overall? >> so, it is a great question. and because at first i think a lot of people were saying this might be worse than the snowde leaks where there were hug security agency surveillance programs compromised i don't think at this point it is as bad as that. it seems to me that this is an

individual who had what is called administrative access t department of defens documents. documents that went into the chairman joint his daily brief and so, these are serious bu they are not the keys to the kingdom. they are not the crown jewel of the most sensitive of human intelligence but still serious. and i think what is the on thing that is most disturbin is, for example, if we are talking about reports that detail information from single intelligence can the russians or others g back into some forensics and maybe lose those streams o access so i would say it is serious not as bad as several years ag in snowden and, again i am sure that thos story is going to evolve ove the weeks to come. >> you talk about his access and i know secretary austin ha issued a metal asking people t review security access and how in fact intelligence like this is secured but when you are kind of takin a look at the bigger picture o this thing, mark, what doe

this do to how you are viewe when it comes to intelligenc on the world stage >> well,, look intelligenc versus around the world know these things happen. you don't throw stones i glasshouses. so our allies are pointing fingers at us. in a sense, because othe countries have these spice panels leaks like this. it is not a spite panel, tha is important no one of the things that is most interesting in this cas is, in the past when we have seen things like this it is spy. someone is working for another country or it is a whistle blower in their mind this is different. this is an individual who look to be a narcissist who i showing off. and so i think that when you look at our background investigation process, how w clear people for top secre information, how we say it i okay for them to hav continuing access, we are goin to take into account perhaps different motivations. and i think that is what doj i really looking at right now. >> got it can you talk to me quickl and about what you mean abou different motivations? are you talking about kind of

psyche found of people who are being hired from day one, an what kind of vulnerabilities they have that would motivat them to do something like this >> sure, absolutely. so you go through extensiv psychological questioning an even some testing. there are things such as polygraph. the department of defens doesn't use that as extensivel as others. but, again, it is not a simple question like in the past, are you a communist? they have that during the cold war. or do you have sympathies with terrorist groups this is totally different. it is to get someone psychological profile. so i think we're gonna have to take into account that generation z is going to b entering into the national security realm and they migh have some differen vulnerabilities as what we thought about previously >> marc polymeropoulos, as always edge is great to talk t you. all right, new details about the harrowing experiences of some who fled china, including refugees who say that they wer subjected to torture the allegations of chinese secret police stations addin

coral, florida, they are celebrating earth day today by cleaning up their city seven months ago they were hit hard by hurricane ian and th community is still trying to rebuild. nbc's stephanie stanton is joining us now from cape coral stephen, hurricane ian was the fifth largest storm in u.s history, right construction was catastrophi in some areas. how is the community doing now >> well good afternoon to you, yasmin the community spirit remains strong as you said the fifth largest hurricane in history. it was massive years this morning started out at idiom cleaning up trash and debris, that hurricane struc this area. it has been seven months now and it made landfall as category four.

but here is what is interesting, the national hurricane centr earlier response has reclassified ian as a category five and that devastation, again, s widespread, here is some mor interesting facts that we foun out from the city of cape coral. -- it left years worth of - [inaudible] [inaudible expected to be slightly less catastrophically,, whether the wanted to point out that those who live in those coasta regions are always at increase risk >> well we have noticed in the last few decades, we are seein a lot of them happen and rapidly intensify close to the coast. now in the past, the data migh not have been there to support

that they always were like that so i hesitate to say that it i because of one thing or th other. but regardless we have mor people living there, mor infrastructure in the way. and so that risk is stil exacerbated. >> and climatologists from colorado state university just released their predictions this season they are predictin 13 named storms, six hurricane and two major hurricanes so that is what is happening here on the ground in cape coral. but again, yasmin, i want to point out that their spirit is strong one thing officials also tol us is that while many of the largest structures are cleared up or being cleaned out, there is still a lot of small debris on the ground, and that is wha the volunteers were focusing o today. >> all right, stephanie for us we thank you all, right we want to end on a large stretch of a popular waikiki beach that was fence off this week to deter
