you just heard governor abbott there.tions that the biden administration has been having with leaders in border states? >> well, alicia, priorities one through 100 for this administration have all revolved around covid response, around the american jobs plan, the american rescue plan. now the american families plan that they have put forward. this president felt that the first crisis he had to deal with was the health crisis and the economic crisis. but what's so interesting to see as they have been talking to governors and local officials about other issues, there have been conversations here as well about the border situation. of course, they don't call it a crisis. the administration at the highest levels, the president, the vice president, haven't necessarily been engaged, indeed as governor abbott pointed out, although the president did meet with governor abbott when he visited houston earlier this year. it's interesting to look at the personnel we see the administration appoint for some of the key positions that dea

what would you tell governor abbott if he's watching this interview?e he has changed, and he's a different person than he used to be. >> reporter: according to the nonprofit death penalty information center, in texas a death penalty case costs an average of $2.3 million, about three times the cost of imprisoning someone in a single cell at the highest security level for 40 years. overall, support for the death penalty is declining in the u.s. according to a 2019 poll from gallup, only 36% of americans chose the death penalty when asked whether the death penalty or life without possibility of parole is the better penalty for murder. >> when you look at a case like this one, really the only question is whether people believe that the death penalty is an appropriate kind of punishment for this particular set of facts. >> reporter: paul cassell is a professor at the college of law at the university of utah. >> you can make two arguments in support of the death penalty. one is the utilitarian argument that we can deter crime by imposing the most serious pun

governor greg abbott swiftly said that he would call a special session to try to pass a voting bill again, but he didn't say when. the measure would eliminate drive-through voting, empower partisan poll watchers, and impose new requirements to cast a ballot by mail in texas. president biden issued a statement over the weekend. he said the bill attacks the sacred right to vote, and these laws are disproportionately targeting black and brown americans, and that states should be making it easier, not harder, for people to vote. >>> there's a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the latest mass shooting here in the u.s. miami-dade police say three masked shooters opened fire on a crowd at a rap concert early yesterday morning killing two and injuring at least 20. authorities say the attack was not random. investigators don't know a motive, but they're looking through social media to see if any rappers or concert-goers were involved in the feud. manuel bojorquez has the latest. >> reporter: the shots rang out after midnight at a banquet hall behind me just as a rap concert w

maybe governor abbott will reach that realization here in texas. but if he doesn't and he calls a special session and passes the voter suppression legislation we're going to fight every step of the way. fight republicans every step of the way. >> ed lavandera is in texas. do we know when the governor will call this special session? >> it's not clear at this point,ups that the governor is saying that this voting bill is one of -- is one of his main priorities he had for the legislative session. there will definitely be one at some point. the timing is not clear yet victor. but we should keep in mind that because of the new census numbers texas is also getting two new congressional seats this year. so the legislature has to battle out redirecting here in this state. so the question is, do all of these issues get thrown into the same legislative session? you can imagine the political fireworks that would explode during that process. but in comes as lawmakers continue to fight over the details in this. and it will surely come up again. and the question

governor abbott joins me now. good to have you on the program. those words that you spoke about sanity and safety returning, that is not just a promise from you, it sounds much stronger than that. >> the reason it's stronger is because as you pointed out, i'm about to sign a law that will insure that cities in the state of texas will not be able to defund police. first the context. you pointed out was going on in minneapolis where it is both a tragedy and a disaster what's going on for the residents of minneapolis because of the defunding of police and you've seen the same thing in portland, seattle, chicago, new york, etc. harris, unfortunately we had the same thing happen here in the state of texas where the city of austin defunded police. which is why you saw that tragic situation reported in austin, texas. and because austin defunded police we wanted to do two things in this session. one, we wanted to make sure that there were going to be consequences for the city of austin. second is we wanted to make sure that no other city in the state of

on governor abbott, and on lieutenant governor dan patrick. we have been, the democrats in both the senate and the house, have done everything we can to prevent the suppression of both democrat and republican votes. and i keep the faith that some of our republican colleagues will eventually join us because their voters are being suppressed as well. >> one of the republican sponsors of this bill, state senator -- his name is brian hughes, he recently said this about the bill. this isn't about who won or who lost, it's really to make the process better, we want to make the elections more accessible, and more secure, make them smoother. have you been in conversations across the aisle? what are you hearing from republicans? or what are you trying to tell them? >> we were in a conversation across the aisle for eight hours over saturday night and into sunday morning. we didn't leave the chamber until 6:30 a.m. after an eight-hour conversation with our republican colleagues on the senate floor. they remained unmoved. but the evidence is clear that th

greg abbott says he thinks the census was fishy. his words, not mine. what do you say? more and blue states lost. look at california, for the first time in history the state is going to lose a seat. they actually lost population and the answer gavin newsom gave was because president trump had secured the border so fewer people could illegally enter our state. it wasn't because his taxes are too high. wasn't because homeless is running rampant. it wasn't because they want to he defund the police and we're watching crime continue to rise. it was missed policies. why does california, illinois and new york all lose seats but texas gains two and florida gains one. because people crave freedom. people want freedom. freedom to open businesses, to take a risk, for their children to go to school, freedom for the foundation to believe in what they want to believe as an american. and this is really one of the greatest contrasts of what you found. oregon's going to gain a seat but that's going to be a republican seat. the cook report recently did a study about redistricting. and th

governor abbott points to a couple key metrics for the reason behind this decision. effective 3% positivity rate over the past week and sunday there was not a single covid-related death in the entire state of texas. this is creating some concern for parents because school districts will no longer be able to enact their own rules. i want you to hear what one mother had to say from a dallas suburb. >> my fear is if we have a large concentration of unvaccinated children all together, not socially distanced in the schools, we're just going to continue to keep infecting people. and with a 33% vaccination rate in texas, you're never going to get the pandemic to end. >> and there are some exceptions to the governor's executive order. that includes hospitals, state-run prisons, jails or support care facilities. steph? >> thank you. >>> and we have more developing news in the state of texas, where republican governor greg abbott signed a bill banning abortions once a heartbeat is detected. it effectively bans most abortions in the state because fetal heartbeats are detected b

devices for diabetes, the heart, the brain among so many other organs, abbott can help us make sense of the moment. that we can develop a world view that puts things in perspective. i spoke to robert ford at cnbc healthy returns event earlier. take a look. i happen to have in front of me two tests, i've used it. why have i used it i went out of the country and i wanted to know i was okay. i wanted to know as we get more and more vaccinated, will we use it less or is it going to be a fact of our life no matter what and see it at cvs in stockpile >> from the beginning, as you know, we went all in and went all in, jim, because we knew that, you know, we had a responsibility to develop the diagnostic leadership to develop the test not only for pandemic phase but also for vaccine phase. you know, if we rely solely on vaccine which we've done an amazing job from the development to the rollout but if we rely solely on it, it's not as complete as you'd like whether it's the penetration rate of vaccines, we know that some states have higher rates than others the longevity, we have to learn a

this is a priority for abbott and republicans.y will get another bite at this legislative apple. as for democrats, they really exhausted every play in the playbook on this one. you heard lawmakers last night say after they trickled out of the room, making it so they couldn't call a quorum and vte on this bill that this was one of the last arrows in their quiver. they will turn to public pressure making sure everyone knows what's in the bill that was crafted behind closed doors. >> give us a sense of how this compounds the fight over voting rights legislation among lawmakers here in washington who are working in that building behind you. democrats have to figure out what to do about the filibuster so that the 60 vote threshold becomes 51. i have talked to democrats who say if they don't use the fact that they are in the majority to enact voting rights legislation, it will be a failure. >> reporter: that's a conversation you had with one congressman. we will play that in a second. really, what this does is what it has done when flor
