i'd like to give it all up to nina turner. running for secretary of state in ohio and she's absolutely fantastic. >> thank you, jess. >> women all over the country should be looking for leaders like her. even in the states where they don't necessarily live. >> nina, to that point, if you look at what california did, part of what is so important, obviously, expanding the number of health care professionals who can perform abortion. studies have shown there's no change or no impact on patient care when you do so. it means actually more people have access. that's a good thing. also kind of getting rid of those trap laws which i know you're dealing with in ohio that actually, you know, impose all kinds of crazy regulations that basically have nothing to do with patient care and everything to do with trying to get the clinics to close down. how do you think this battle is going to shake out in ohio? >> well, i'm hoping that the courts will side on behalf of women. and jess is absolutely right. this is really about personal liberty

joining me now senator nina turner. is ludicrous. but can you argue that republicans only want white men of means to vote? >> i mean, dr. dyson, they're certainly taking a page out of the book of where this country was centuries ago. you know, we are a nation of progress, but they are trying to take us back. these extremists. and the fact that they are creating laws that in many, many ways suppress, oppress, and regress access to the ballot box. it's not only shameful, it's immoral and against a democracy. and i got wendy davis, my sister senator, i guess they fear her just that much. but this is wrong. and it has a negative ripple effect for all of this country, not just texas. and this very law that they have passed right now, you know, remember a district court ruled that that law was unconstitutional. because the u.s. supreme court gutted portions of the voting rights act, here we are. we have not lost our minds, dr. dyson. the gop extremists have lost their ever-loving minds. >> to be sure. but, look. take a moment

nina turner, thanks for your time tonight. that's "the ed show." it's michael eric dyson, that's me, in for ed shultz. he may be a rejected stone, but now he's the rock of gibraltar. "politicsnation" with reverend al sharpton starts right now. >> thank you, dr. dyson. >>> and thanks to you for tuning in. tonight's lead, republicans whistling past the political graveyard. tea party republicans are literally celebrating. the man whose extremist stunts are tearing down the party. senator ted cruz. tea party activist in houston even gave him a cake with green eggs and ham in icing. all their way of saying thank you. >> thank you, today! thank you, ted! thank you, ted! >> thank you, ted? thank you for what? for destroying the party? here's the cake cruz should have gotten. the icing says 26%. that's the approval rating for the tea party. the lowest ever recorded by "the washington post" in a brand new poll. wonder what those tea party folks will say about that. >> thank you, ted! thank you, ted! thank you, ted! >> yes, thank you, ted, for bringing down
