joining us now is congresswoman barbara lee of california, cochair of the congressional pro-choice caucus and texas, i want to just ask you to articulate what is at stake right now in this moment and what women in texas and potentially florida, two of the biggest states in this country, will endure if these bans go into effect. >> sure. thank you for having me this afternoon. first of all, people are going to have their rights taken away from them. what we're talking about is freedom to control our own bodies, our own lives. these states are taking away people's right to the full range of reproductive healthcare, including abortion care. it's outrageous. women are going to die. and so, that's why we're fighting so hard and why we pass the women's health protection act today because we need to have a law that codifies roe v. wade, which means we would be able then to ensure that a woman's right to reproductive freedom is in the law. right now, we're at an inflection point in our country. as you said, florida now is moving forward with a state. texas has. more states are going to do this. a

yesterday, he had some support from congresswoman barbara lee. >> i know and you know what it means to take unpopular positions if it means doing the right thing. you know i know that. you also know that gover newsom has taken unpopular positions through this deadly pandemic. but you know what? he has saved lives and livelihoods. amanda: newsom has more events planned. president biden will campaign for him tomorrow. supporters of the recall held a rally of their own yesterday. a large group posted signs and waved flags on the berlin boulevard overpass to get the attention of drivers on highway 101. people have been gathering regularly on this overpass to encourage voters to mark "yes" on their ballots. larry elder was campaigning in southern california. he greeted diners in lake forest, also in orange county. he hit on familiar talking points as he pitched himself to voters. >> i want to remind people he is not running because of the rise in crime or rise in homelessness, rising cost of living. amanda: john coxe was in san diego yesterday. he did not hold a rally, but attended an event

it seemed as if, i mean, i don't think that barbara lee was alone in voting the way she voted, but shefortable going public with it. how much did we trample public debate a little bit? >> well, it is a good point, and i have thought a lot about it. in fact, my support of the iraq war was the biggest mistake i made in my public life, and i regret it to this day, and every time i see a soldier, i used to go out to walter reed and meet the young soldiers coming back with the legs blown off and the eyes blown out, and believe me if you think that you are responsible for for that, you carry it for the rest of your life. after 9/11, we would have meetings with george bush in the oval office every tuesday at 7:00 a.m., and after a few months he would talk about doing something about getting rid of saddam hussein, and i would say, i am not for it, but if you believe and the intelligence people believe he has the beginnings of nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction i will consider it. so i went to the cia myself and three or four times and talked to everybody out there and asked them al

it's barbara lee, corey bush, jie ya paul, very emotional stories. >> it will be heard on the hearinge room. there was a lot of apprehension from the lawmakers. some of these women never told the stories before and shared them with us for the first time on camera and both the stories and the circumstances of what led these women to make these decisions were different. the stories spanned three generations from women who only knew a world post roe versus wade to a woman that experienced firsthand how dangerous abortions were. during the interview, i could see these congresswomen internalizing each other's stories. when we finished, there was a moment they all hugged and embraced filled with a sense of relief, of solidarity they were sharing difficult stories but they weren't sharing them alone. tomorrow, that's what they'll do as part of the official congressional record, but more than just that testimony, joy, you and i know how deeply partisan and deeply entrenched this policy debate is between republicans and democrats. other female lawmakers across the country shared similar person

it was myself, it was congresswoman barbara lee from oakland, california, who said no, no.fghanistan, we're not to invade that country. this will be a quagmire. and we were -- we were pretty much shot down by our fellow americans that did not want to hear anything like this. you know, are we safer? the real homeland security should be about how we take care of each other and how we spend our money and not on a war that may have seen right to some people at the time, let's go get him, he is a mass murderer, osama bin laden, but by the time we really organized ourselves to do that in october, november, he had pretty much skid daddled. he was out of the country and they didn't have a say. he left and we stayed for 20 years. >> yeah. we famously had a shot. we came close. now at least he's where he needs to be and humanity is better off for it. michael, i'm going to take a pause. michael moore has agreed to stay with us. we'll resume our conversation after this break. >>> coming up, we'll talk to him about what's at stake for the president as mr. biden tries to advance this $3.

the decision to go to war in afghanistan which every member of congress but one, congresswoman barbara lee voted for. some of these decisions ultimately you could argue paved the way for the very deep divisions and disunity that i think we see today. you know, i think that unity allowed us collectively to make decisions based to some degree on fear that you could argue may not have been perhaps the most politically estute and politically calculating decisions to have made. >> a lot of the decisions made by the presidents we saw yesterday. of course, starting with bush but this has transcended so many presidencies. what did you make of seeing bush and speaking yesterday, obama and clinton in new york, president biden, of course, president trump a little bit. but what did you make of that? >> i was so struck just by watching and hearing these presidents. it was literally we used the word book end a lot over the last several years, but this was a book end from president bush to president biden. and i was struck by just how interwoven their presidencies were. george w. bush was not elected bec

texas, florida, mississippi, passing restrictions on abortion access for women like congresswomen barbara leead her abortion before the row vs. wade decision. she wants to speak out so women don't have to go back to accessing abortions in a dangerous way. listen to what she said when we spoke to her before she testified in our exclusive interview. listen to congresswoman lee. >> i was terrified. i didn't know what was taking place, and, in fact, you know, i survived. and why it's so important now for me to tell this story is i don't want any woman to ever have to go through that. i know what that back alley looked like. i know what that dark light looked like. i see it right now. you know? like i say, i was one of the fortunate ones. >> reporter: congresswoman lee among those women who shared their personal stories of abortion today. but we also got to see on the committee a really stark contrast in terms of the three democratic lawmakers testifying about the choices that they made, and a republican congresswoman who was -- who was testifying herself about her mother's choice to go forward wi

. >> seth: come on now, cnn, there are people like barbara lee, the only member of congress, who votedst the authorization of use of force in 2001 who were right about afghanistan. why would you give air time to a notorious pro-war liar who's been wrong, not just about this, but about everything i bet if we comb through his public statements, we'd find a quote from bolton saying "i think the mets' hot start is sustainable, and i don't see the lack of offensive production as a long term problem. there hasn't been a single foreign policy debacle in the last few decades this guy wasn't involved in or supportive of if you look closely, sitting next to ja rule in the "fyre-fest documentary." "we just need to get them to the island and train them to make their own sandwiches." john bolton has been wrong about the middle east at every turn. to this day he insists the invasion of iraq was a success and if you're curious for his thoughts about pulling out of warzones, here's what he had to say about how he would have handled things differently in iraq on british television in 2007 >> there are
