nbc's alison barber is joining us from gainesville, georgia.you hearing there? >> hey. alex antiabortion activists have spent decades fighting, planning for this moment. it's here. the supreme court is expected to overturn roe v. wade in the next two months. but we aren't seeing anti abortion activists elaborating in the streets. why is that? one activists told me they don't want to counter chickens before they're hatched. they are playing a long game. they arguably have been doing that really since roe v. wade was passed in 1973. in the mid 80s, antiabortion activists aligned themselves with the republican party. they focused on getting people elected to national office and local office who are conservative and withhold pro life views. if, given the opportunity, would nominate conservative pro life justices. they also focused on changing laws on the state and local level. listen to some of the conversation i had with the executive director of a very influential anti-abortion groups here in georgia. >> our view was if you can get half a loaf, i

a lot of doctors where they live when they need to go to the doctors, they have to come here to gainesville, an hour and 15 minute drive each way. that's not an uncommon story, and rural communities around here, they've seen a lot of jobs go over the years . you people are having to look for the for work, having to drive more to get to work, and you touched on it. that not a lot of public transportation options here to there is some in atlanta, but it's not that great there. they are looking at what they have to pay to fill up their car to get to and from work, run basic errands, take their kids to school, and they are looking at their paycheck, and they say they really feel like they are having trouble affording the basic necessities . it is costing them so much money just to get to work. this is a real pain for a lot of people here in the big cities and suburbs, and especially in rural parts of georgia, chuck? oh allison, i'm so glad you shared exactly how a lot of people outside the appellate court. i'm concert people that mostly live in new york or the d.c. area just don't appreciate ho

her parents couldn't find the brand near their home in gainesville, georgia. it wasn't online.n't find it where they live either. >> it's terrifying. it's terrifying when that's the only true source of nutrition that your baby gets. because it would get to the point where you would go to a store and you would almost cry. >> reporter: nationwide, 43% of baby formula stock is gone. parents are desperate. >> leaving us with only a few options that work with our baby's sensitive tummies. >> reporter: this dad made a tiktok about searching for formula for his new twins in san diego, saying he's nervous and scared about what will happen in the coming weeks. the mom of these premie twins this avon, connecticut, spent hours day searching for formula, and this mom in springfield, ohio, she can't find her son's regular formula and has to give him other brands that hurt his stomach. >> it's been scary to walk down the aisles and see empty shelves and honestly not be able to find the exact formula that we need. >> reporter: no matter how zpra, the fda, the cdc, and the american academy of

nbc's ellison barber is in gainesville, georgia about an hour north of atlanta.e you hearing from folks who are just fed up about the cost of filling up their tanks? >> reporter: fed up is a really good way to describe the mood here, garrett. worried works as well. we have been to three different counties in this state, all of them politically significant but politically different counties, to try and get a sense of how people feel about this in general and specifically whether or not they see this as a campaign issue moving forward. the first county we went to, dekalb county, that is a solidly blue county that democrats need high turnout in order to do well in any election really. gwinnett county has become a really important swing county. hall county, where we are right now, this is a deeply red county where republicans need high turnout to do well really in any election. it's kind of the counter to what dekalb county is for democrats. and across the board everyone we've spoken to, they tell us that the gas prices are ridiculous. they are frustrated. they are w

ellison is covering for this in gainesville, georgia. what's reaction you're getting on the ground? >> we are seeing these lurch protests in support of abortion rights happening in cities across the country. we are not seeing the same thing on the other side. i can tell you, speaking with antiabortion activists in the state and others, it is not because they are unhappy with the draft opinion that they have seen from the supreme court. they are very happy. but they know that draft opinion is just that. a draft. they want to wait and see the final version. this is something that they have been fighting for four decades. they have taken a very strategic approach, particularly since aligning with the republican party in the mid 80s, to get here. they focused on getting conservative justices elected to courts. they also focused on trying to change laws at the local level. listen to some of what's to antiabortion activists told us, one in georgia, the other in texas. >> i think that it 50 years from now we are looking back on this moment, and it is what we think it's gonna be, then it wa

host: gainesville, florida. democratic caller. caller: are you talking to me?ost: it is your turn. caller: i want to add to that. i keep hearing about abortion on the point of view of men and women and not of babies. i would like to say i think the soul survives death. when you are having an abortion you are postponing the soul for something better. babies deserve the best start possible. people believe all knowledge comes from god so there is knowledge of abortion in the first place. some babies have a right to have a father who is not a rapist or an ancestor. they have a right to have a healthy beginning. if you are profamily, how is that helping any soul or anybody? it seems to me a ride that never gets considered. host: other news from capitol hill, yesterday in the senate, rand paul blocked the $40 billion for ukraine for military aid saying there was not enough oversight on the spending. he blocked it for a week. that is in the washington times. it passed the house earlier. also on capitol hill and the wall street journal, the january 6 committee investig

if you google me, when i was 19, i ran for mayor of gainesville, florida, going after a republican.i was in my 20's, i thought massive tax increases. after that, i went against republicans. i don't care about the letter next to somebody's name. when we do these critical race theory investigations, i have no idea what the political affiliation is of the people we meet with. i assume they are not libertarians, but i do not know if they are democrats, independents, the partisan labels are not important. host: about 15 minutes left with adam guillette as we talk about the state of u.s. media. what are your thoughts about elon musk porch racing -- purchasing twitter? guest: when it first happened, i was convinced it was in elon musk pr stunt. it looks like it is happening. never have i been more delighted to be wrong. it has been funny, we are told when twitter was caught with hidden camera investigative journalism, shadow banning conservatives, when facebook was caught d boosting conservatives and republican viewpoints on their platform, everyone shouted from the heavens, these are priv
