former senator prescott bush, george h.w. bush's father, was pro-choice and supported planned parenthood in connecticut. new york governors nelson rockefeller to george pataki, who was your contemporary when you were governor of new jersey, were all pro-choice. the roe decision itself was a 7-2 decision, which included five justices who were appointed by republican presidents. what has happened to that tradition in the republican party? >> money and the fact that we stopped voting in primaries in the way that we should, "we" being everybody, but particularly republicans, obviously. when you only have a 10% turnout, and that's what the average has been until recently -- 10% turnout of eligible voters in the primaries, that means you have the most partisan, and they tend to be a little bit on the extremes. and for a republican running in some of these districts, they have to worry. they don't worry about the general election because the way the districts are drawn, they just worry about the primary. and that's becoming even more true

one, though, clarence thomas, he was appointed by george h.w. bushar vote in 1988. axios writes he is now at the peak of his powers. now the, quote, main character at the supreme court. tell us why. >> yeah, jonathan. what's interesting about that, is in addition to his obvious monumental tectonic effect on american law, he's also at the peak of his power inside the court. so clarence thomas is playing the long game. that is, if you take his opinions and his dissents together, they're not random points about particular cases. over the years, he's formed what sam baker at axios calls his own body of law. his own precedence. except it is one man, one justice speaking for himself. he's an incredible fact in sam baker's story. that is, in the one person abortion comments that thomas made, he cited 11 of his own precedents. here's another quirk about his muscle inside the court. the senior justice, the longest serving justice on the winning side gets to assign the writing of the opinion. thomas can assign -- if chief justice roberts is not in the majority

officials from the reagan and george h.w. bush administration going public this week with their insistence that the justice department must prosecute trump. and it is the january 6th committee member and chair of the house intelligence committee democratic congressman adam schiff. >> i certainly think that we have more than enough evidence to begin an investigation of the former president. and and while they ultimately believe that they have proof beyond a reasonable doubt, i think it is too early to say but i certainly believe there is evidence now that would be hard for the department to ignore. >> now, there may be some movement happening at the justice department in response to recent revelations. "the new york times" reports this week, the explosive testimony from cassidy hutchinson jolted top justice officials into discussing donald trump culpability and the january 6th committee has said it referred a case of potential witness tampering who in the wake of cassidy hutchinson's testimony allegedly tried to call white house st

i'm thinking in terms of the like category george h.w. bushail, to your point of working for a human being we really like. my question to you is on this one, as the politicized protective detail around donald trump and what happened has happened and we've been talking about it all morning, you're an expert on it. what's your instinct on this? is it the secret service detail trying to protect itself, trying to protect trump or both? >> the deletion of the records, mike, i'm going to put aside for a moment to answer your question, because we don't know whether or not this was just a stupid screw-up or something a little more intentional. we don't know yet. and i, again, won't speculate. but it is clear to me that senior leadership and several -- and i'm not talking like half, i'm talking about the majority of president trump's detail were in the tank for him. they preferred his conservative positions, they usually are viewed, the secret service, as putting politics at the door when they walk into the white house to protect the man, the office, a

and this is not -- you know, you look at george h.w. bush. a few significant environmental pieces of legislation. that is a republican party dead and gone. >> in fact, joe, to your point, george bush, w. bush, was the last republican president to put together a more comprehensive strategy on climate, and it was, at that time, the fledgling conservative part of the caucus that wound up killing that effort shortly before the president's term ended. so you're right, there has been no substantive or even a framework of where the republican party stands on issues like climate. it is easy to say no. it's easy to say the democrats just want to spend all this money. it's easy to say a whole lot of things about democrats and their climate policy proposals. but, oh, i used the word, proposal. at least they have -- they're putting something out there you can say no to. so, you know, if you want to be in the game, if you want to lead, if you want to be a governing majority, you at some point have to tell the american people whatcconnell, when asked earli

"urban cowboy" was influenced by gilley's patrons. "urban cowboy" told the story of a west texas farmhand who was knew to the area and working his first job -- new to the area and working his first job at a refinery. this introduced country dance to america and created that lifestyle that has been adopted by millions. even more surprisingly, it directly resulted in the most unlikely outcome of all. country western music became mainstream. once considered outdated hill billy attire, cowboy hats and belt buckles became high fashion. on saturday, january 29, mickey came to the galveston regional chamber of commerce's celebration, the 50th anniversary of gilley's and the 42nd anniversar
