joining me now, texas state representative chris turner, chair of the texas house democratic caucus. representative turner, which parts of this legislation were you most understanding? you have a lot to choose from. >> that's right, alicia. thank you for having me on. the latest version of the republican anti-voter legislation in texas looks unsurprisingly familiar because we've seen a lot of it before. so in no particular order, some of the most onerous provisions of this new bill include enhanced powers for partisan poll watchers who republicans have used in texas to intimidate voters and election officials in usually predominantly minority neighborhoods. it includes new restrictions on the vote-by-mail process, both in terms of limiting who can send in an application, and also making it more difficult for the voter to actually cast a ballot by mail by including a voter i.d. requirement now for mail-in

. >> as texas house democratic chair chris turner aptly said, you just can't make this up. republicans are passing anti-voter legislation overnight to prohibit texans from casting a ballot overnight. and while republicans claim they're fighting for so-called election integrity, the author of the bill admitted during his this weekend's hearing that he didn't know of any voter fraud that happened in 2020. >> i know that we heard testimony that there was difficulty getting election workers and poll watchers, but i don't know about evidence of fraud. that's pretty recent election. >> joining me now is former hud secretary julian castro who is now an msnbc political analyst and texas state representative john bussey iii who joins me by third. i first want to welcome you to the msnbc family. i still want to call you secretary castro. >> great to be with you joy. >> let's talk about this. in 2020 you saw the highest voter turnout i think in nearly

my name is chris turner. i am the chair of the texas house to mccarter caucus, a state representative from grand prairie. as you just heard, more than 50 democratic members of the texas house have left texas to stop republicans of passing their latest iteration of voter suppression legislation. you will hear primarily from some of my colleagues today. we have so many strong voices in our caucus. we want to give them the opportunity to speak to the public. for everyone's awareness, procedurally, how this works, there's 150 members of the texas house. it takes two thirds of the body present to constitute a quorum. 100 members. we vote in texas and register attendance by use of voting machines on our desks. minutes ago, at least 57 letters were delivered to the house clerk, directing the house to lock our voting machines and not unlock them until we provide permission to do so upon a return to the capitol. with that, it is my privilege now to introduce a great fighter, a longtime advocate in the fight for voting

i'm gonna start with you, representative chris turner.he chair of the texas democratic caucus why was it important for you to be here in washington? >> well good evening. thank you for having us. it's important for us to be here because more than 50 courageous texas house democrats made the decision to lead texas, stop republicans led by greg abbott the governor from passing a bill to make it harder for people to vote. we're here to protect the rights of texans and protect their freedom to vote. you have to understand, the special session is poison from the onset. it's against the backdrop of the governor trying to defund the entire legislative range of government because he didn't get his way on everything that he wanted and we don't live in a dictatorship. we live in a democracy. the governor is not a dictator. so that is number one. number two, in addition to that, making a hard vote. this bill, just like bills around the country, is based on the big lie. it's based on ally that donald trump really somehow won the last election, that a

. >> joining me now is alex pa deowe and chris turner. i want to start with you, representative turner. first i have to talk to you about this threat to have you all arrested when you return to texas and supposedly to track you down like the fugitive slave act is still in force now. what do you make of that, those threats? >> good evening, joy. great to be with you. they're empty threats. as you stated, the governor -- the state of texas doesn't have jurisdiction outside the state of texas. but moreover, governor abbott is just simply empty bluster. he does not have any authority to come after us. you know, governor abbott has had a problem lately understanding the separation of powers. he's the executive branch, we're the legislative branch. he has tried to defund the legislative branch by vetoing our appropriations and now he's threatening to arrest lawmakers, neither of which he has the constitutional authority to do. the texas house of representatives does have a rule that allows the speaker and the remaining members there to compel a

first person are going to hear from is chris turner in austin he represents the county. we are happy to have all of these courageous members here .oday they made big sacrifices to be here today. they come from a variety of districts. some call from d.c. which we will call frontline district. they are making a sacrifice of rall americans regardless of the race, income, party affiliation will have equal access to the ballot. that is what this is about. before i turn it over too chris, i like congressman doggett to have a few words. >> we will wrap this up at the end. clearly they brought the texas heat along with the texasghm courage. we are glad all of you are outward we are here to honor them and their courage. their focus not just on what's happening in texas butov what's happening right over there in the united states senate. it is a time for bold action for the same kind of bold action encourage we need in the united states senate from this administration of these texas colleagues of ours are demonstrating by their action, chris we're so pleased you are here thank you

the idea that chris turner says that it is making it harder to vote is wrong. to is this bill makes it clear that two practices are not allowed. drive-thru voting for people who can walk into the polls. right now we have a state law you can vote in your car if you can't get to the polls unassisted. one county said we'll let everybody drive-thru vote and 24 hour voting. they took a weird interpretation of the state law that required a certain number of minimum hours they had to provide for early voting and said that means we can have 24-hour voting and one day in harris county on the 29th of october they had 24-hour voting and it doesn't have anything to do with higher turnout. teariant county where chris turner lives did not do 24-hour voting or drive-thru voting for people that could walk in the polls and had higher turnout. the one county misinterpreted state law and got away with it. >> sandra: do you believe that those democrats should prove their vaccination status? those that were traveling on that plane with their masks down were sending the message they

earlier chris turner, a democrat from the texas house of representatives, stated their reasons for leaving are determined to kill this bill in the special session, on august seven. and we will stay out until then in order to do that. we're to use that time to plead with our friends and our colleagues and our leaders in the congress, but the time is now. there is no time. you must pass strong federal voter protection legislation and you must do it now. you must do it before the august recess. i'm joined by the bbc�*s david willis in los angeles. david, really unusual, democrats fleeing their own state, heading to washington. just explain why these new voting restrictions are so controversial?— voting restrictions are so controversial? ~ ., j~ controversial? well, about 58 democratic — controversial? well, about 58 democratic lawmakers - controversial? well, about 58 democratic lawmakers left i controversial? well, about 58 i democratic lawmakers left texas today, bound for the nation plasma capital, washington, dc, which they arrived at a couple of hours ago. their departure from texas basi

. >> my colleague, hallie jackson, talked to chris turner in the last 30 minutes and this was his warning. >> we need help. democrats in texas we can only hold this back for so long. we need strong voting rights legislation to protect all americans. i mean he essentially echoed what we heard. if congress remains inactive, the white house can only do so much in the parameters of hilgs power. how do you keep the fire lit on this critical issue? >> this is the racial justice community. we have been resilient for decades. natasha is out there petitioning the courts and today in the white house, but what we need is partners. i think we need partners, we need the white house to do everything that it can do to act as it really is. if you look at the full regime of what is happening here, the supreme court opened the door for more mayhem. it is in arizona. a few people, not the masses, so it's okay. if your vote is not courted that is a problem. we need to address this problem. this is a politically savvy trick. we know the margins are razor thin. so the idea is that we will hurt a certain number

a lot of people on that plane, democrats doubling down, here is chris turner, take a listen. >> there were a couple people from the speaker for one person the speaker's office who is helping us last week when we were on capitol hill. we don't regret coming to dc at all. it is important that we leave texas and prevent republicans from passing their anti-voter legislation. todd: back to the picture no masks on the plane and no outrage from the mainstream media but you and i both know if it were republicans it would be the top story leading every -- the amy tony barrett nomination for months. jillian: republicans would be leaving for that republicans last year, you look at this situation, everything griff outlined between senator rand paul, doctor anthony fauci, frustrations a high level over everything that pertains to covid because people want answers. we are facing a time where there are more restrictions being put in place in certain areas of the country and those are business owners up against the threat or the thought of am i going to lose my business, my livelihood, that is real f

his name is chris turner, listen, we deserve this stippen because we are working harder than ever.e working harder, doing what we are doing right now than we would be if we had stayed in the chamber. although they are not there in the chamber to vote for any of these laws. steve: because they are spretsing the vote from washington, d.c. lawrence: this is what is happening, guys, there is no filibuster in the state legislature. so, instead of going with the rules that are given for years in the texas legislature. they decided they are not going to show up for work. no one is saying that they have to vote yes for the bill. if you don't like the bill, they have a right. they represent their constituents. but stand up, be a texan. be a man or woman, and vote for the bill and then deal with the repercussions after that. if the voters don't like it, guess what? you will win. you will win and the republicans that voted for that, if the voters don't like that, they won't be in office. instead of doing that they decided they won't show up for work. steve: lawrence, you said there is no fili

turner. host of "no interruption," tomi lahren, and senior editor of ""the federalist,"" chris bedford. the crime stats are stunning, with three people killed in 19 wounded in shootings just yesterday alone. the explosion of gun balance rocking chicago that has already taken the lives of a 19-year-old national guard soldier who dreamed of one day becoming a police officer. he would have turned 20 tomorrow. and max lewis, a college student left paralyzed from the neck down who used his eyes to signal he wanted to be taken off life support. his funeral is today. so you would think the president would mention something about all this during the speech he gave just an hour outside of chicago, but you would be wrong. he mentioned free college, the climate crisis, and even touted l.e.d. light bulbs, but not one word about the rise in crime. not one word about the children killed. not one word about max lewis or chris carbajal. chris bedford, welcome to you. what is your perspective? >> chris: this is such a sad time in chicago, and really across the country, to seal an order completely breaki
