a virginia state senator, anthony daniels is the minority leader of the alabama house of representativesesentative daniels, in your stayed, alabama, that bill protecting ivf just passed the house, though its supporters say it's not a permanent solution. what happens now? do you think ivf will be protected? >> there's still a lot of uncertainty. there has to be a constitutional amendment that passes long term. the short-term solution is that the state of alabama is hoping that the supreme court justices, and there's not another lawsuit brought to challenge other parts of the actual law that we passed in 2019 or the personhood bill. and so my bill that i introduced would have, i think, solved the problem. i had my piece of legislation clearly define a fertilized embryo as not a child. this piece of legislation that the republicans passed and we voted for this bill because it does restore services for ivf clinics. >> have you been surprised? i mean, the immediate reaction to this in alabama all across the country, has it taken you by surprise? >> i was very surprised, but i warned them in 2

alabama lawmakers scramble to pass legislation to protect access to ivf treatments, minority leader anthony daniels detect filing a bill days ago after his state supreme court ruled that frozen embryos are children, triggering half of alabama's fertility clinics to halt the procedure. >> we have to do something about this immediately and i hope the republicans will work with >> reporter: republican senator tim melson already pushing a new measure that says embryos are not viable until they are implanted in the uterus. >> until it is implanted in the uterus, it is potential life and people shouldn't be criminalized or be held harmful for things that happen. they should be held harmless. >> reporter: and now republican presidential candidates seeking to clarify their positions. >> i didn't say that i agreed with the alabama ruling. the question that i was asked is, do i believe an embryo is a baby? i do think that if you look in the definition, an embryo is considered an unborn baby. >> we want to make it easier for mothers and fathers to have babies, not harder. >> reporter: but trump's team not mak

. >> i spoke with alabama's house minority leader, anthony daniel's a democrat earlier today he's proposing legislation to make a distinction between an embryo that is implanted in a uterus and one that is not the one that is not would not have those protections were not have the rights of a child would that fix this in your eyes >> you know, i we're not sure, but the problem is that legislation is probably not going to go where we need legislation that is going to move. and that's going to fix this and then has the greatest chance of passing. so what what is a lot? >> well, we want protections that says that people have complete rights over their embryos. that medical professionals can deliver ivf care in the state of alabama. and there's no interference in that process at all. and that weather weather they have to come up with what that status of that embryo looks like. it's certainly can't be that an embryo is a person. we know that absolutely cannot be. but we've got to be able to say that people have the right to create embryos. they have rights over those embryos. and the health care

joining us right now is democratic state representative anthony daniels. he's a state house minority leader who sponsored that bill that i was just describing a portion of it in order leader, thank you for coming on this morning. your bill, and especially what i just read there is trying to directly counter the state supreme court ruling that said an embryo is considered child under state law state republican lawmakers, there filing similar yet different measures. what is the status of your ville bill? how soon could you see a vote? >> what we can see a vote on mobile as early as tuesday, right now, the committees are meeting today. my ability not on the agenda. they did assign my bill to the judiciary committee instead of the health committee, but they assign another bill to the health committee, which further does more damage and more unintended consequences. and so they're not correcting the problem, they're actually making it worse. >> hear you saying, i assume you're talking about one of the bills that republicans have sponsored that republicans again

some of the people that daniel paisner has worked with include serena williams, john kasich, whoopi goldberg, denzel washington, ed koch, ray lewis, anthony quinn. that's quite a variety of people. do you have a favorite genre or are you do you have a specialization? you know, i do like to mix it up. i think one of the reasons i've been able to work so long at this is because i've become a little bit of a generalist. my favorite, though, are the books that i've done with anonymous people, ordinary people who've done or maybe seen something extraordinary, or people who aren't used to sharing their stories or facing a camera or a microphone. i worked on a book with a holocaust survivor that's one of the most meaningful projects that has crossed my desk. i worked on a book with a survivor of new york city, a battalion commander from fdny who survived the collapse of the world trade center on 911. those stories to me are more vibrant and immediate and more raw than some of the books i've written with people who are comfortable in the limelight. so let's take two of your coal authors, shall we say, serena williams and john kasich. what was the
