b beto o'rourke joins us.tt deploying additional workers to hospitals, which is needed, but at the same time, fighting in courts against a mask mandate? >> it's interesting. he's issued a mandate as the governor of the state of texas, preventing local jurisdictions like school districts or cities or texas counties from issuing their own mandates to protect the public health by requiring masks. what's interesting, also, is that those local jurisdictions in many cases are taking matters into their own hands and have defied the governor. in some cases, getting court injunctions to stay his mandate so that they can require masks. we are seeing the houston independent school district do that. travis county, which is home to austin, texas. dallas county. down in san antonio. so this is the rise of local leadership in the absence of statewide leadership. i hope sooner rather than later that the governor will see the wisdom of this local leadership and follow suit. and allow local jurisdictions to require masks where

that rally led by former congressman beto o'rourke and the reverend william barber was a show of supportn, d.c. last month to prevent a special legislative session from having a quorum and thereby halting the passage of the restricting voting bill in texas "the houston chronicle" writes this. saturday marked the third time in as many months that former u.s. representative beto o'rourke has headlined a voting rights rally at the texas capital and democrats hope to keep momentum with just a week left before the end of the special session in austin. as demonstrators finished the last leg of their march, they greeted a crowd in front of the capitol holding signs, texas deserves better. they sang along with those on center stage as they belted out the labor movement anthem, "we shall not be moved." those texas democrats who have been in d.c. for weeks fighting to protect democracy are getting reinforcements. "the washington post" has this. more than 100 state legislators from across the country will converge in washington on monday to join their texas counterparts in pushing the senate and pr

beto o'rourke, even willie nelson joined us, but mostly poor and low-wealth people, to say that this just about black people. it's not just binary. and we had to nationalize these stakes. secondly, it took mass mobilization to get voting rights. it's going to take mass to keep it and to go further. we have to think about the long term. you know, it took months to get the voting rights act of '65 signed. it wasn't that president lyndon johnson just did it. and then, thirdly, we mu break this understanding this is just a black issue. it's not binary. this is a moral, constitutional issue. i love what brother turner said. it's impacting all americans. i think democrats nationally made a little mistake there. they should have never framed this as jim crow. this is james crow esquire, an attempt to cut down the progressive voice, undermine the changing demographics, block the voting processes that 56 million americans used in the last election. yamiche: a broad and complete strategy, that's what reverend barber is talking about. i want to come to you, representative turner. you're a state

know, they're going to try to put the best possible spin on it at this point saying you see like beto o'rourke of raising awareness across the country, of the measures by republicans in texas. but in the end, they walked out toward the end of the legislative session in may. they forced the governor of texas to call two different special sessions to get this bill passed. you know, the immediate impact is that this is not going to stop the inevitable signing of this bill here in the state of texas. now, what they continue to do here in the months ahead and what this -- and how this will play out in the election process next year, perhaps there will be fights in court over this and obviously depends on what congressional democrats do, but democrats are touting that they have raised awareness of what's in this bill and they hope that politically that will garner them a lot of support in the future. >> thanks so much. appreciate it. >>> we have some breaking news for you. internationally, the california parole board has granted parole to surhan surhan convicted of assassinating robert kennedy. pros

bishop william barber and former texas congressman beto o'rourke and hundreds of others descended ont by leaving the state to bring an urgent message to washington. but where are you in this effort? if you love this country, if you love the democracy that has made this nation with all its enduring greatness and shameless faults a beacon of hope around the world, then you will do everything you can to get the president some power. look, i know not everyone can go to a march. not everyone will have the heart to get arrested at that march if it came to that. but everybody has a phone. pick up that phone and let congress hear your voice. call, text, leave numerous voice mails, and do so with the respect and seriousness that this effort demands. in a "new york times" essay published after his death, john lewis wrote, democracy is not a state. it is an act. so let's get to work. i'm jonathan capehart and this has been "the sunday show." ♪ someone once told me, that i should get used to people staring. so i did. it's okay, you can stare. when you're a two-time gold medalist, it comes with t
