john kasich said yes to all of it.o all the male republican leaders from his administration and from the legislature gathered around john kasich yesterday and he shook all of the guys' hands and then this. >> well, i just have a few comments. is that your son? come on over here. what's your name? come on. i won't bite you. is he a little shy? >> this is felix. >> hey, felix. i've heard a lot about you. how old are you? 4. guess how old i am? can you give me the rock? you know that? huh? yeah. >> he did call the kid over a little later again. see there on his lap. called him over again to help him sign the bill with all the ceremonial pens. the governor let the kid dot the "i" in kasich. he let him dot the "i" on the new state budget with forced ultrasounds and requirements to shut down the clinics in ohio and the redefinition of pregnancy. so that's what happened in ohio. ohio democrats lost this fight in their state. thanks to the ohio capital blog's video, the whole country can see what it looks like when lawmakers a

the electorate put john kasich in power in ohio probably sees the abortion restrictions he just signedctorate that delivered the state to obama last fall. some republican governors have managed this tension better than others. christie seems to be the most obvious success story. he's running about 30 point as head in his current re-election race but a big reason for this is his public partnership with obama in the wake of hurricane sandy, a partnership endeared him to more than a few democrats in new jersey but created friction with national republicans. the republicans christie will need to win over if he wants to win the presidency in 2016. republican governors like tom corbett in pennsylvania on political life support. quinnipiac poll put him ten points behind his most likely democratic opponent. paul lepage who benefited from both the republican friendly nature of the electorate and three-way race to win his office in 2010. he hasn't even bothered to try to build bridges to voters who backed obama. bitterry reflected medicaid and likened the irs to the get tap po and refused on mar

and you couldn't let john kasich and his ohio bill get ahead of you. >> ohio republican governor john kasich already signed his omnibus abortion ban into law this week. for rick perry's bill in texas, that fight in texas is still going on, they held a committee hearing last night, and into the early morning hours of this morning. more than 1100 people signed up to testify on that abortion ban before that committee, but republicans only let less than 100 of those 1100 people speak. they accepted no amendments or discussion from any democrats, they cut off the testimony after less than 100 people leaving more than 1,000 people who signed up, unable to talk. they called the vote, rammed it through after midnight, party line vote. the full state assembly is expected to vote on this texas bill next week and it will go to the texas senate. democrats in the senate keep saying they have tricks up their sleeve to maybe stop it again this time. filibustering senator, wendy davis on this show, saying the texas senate democrats will not tip their hand publicly about their strategy. if you just go

, and republican governor mike pence in indiana, and just this weekend, the republican governor john kasich of ohio. forcing women to have ultrasounds against their will, primarily vaginal ultrasounds against their will, even against their doctor's will, that used to be a really embarrassing thing for republican politicians. but not anymore, i guess. they're all sort of just going for it now. so stylistic temperamental tacky outlandishness in a politician. that is a timeless embarrassment. the vaseline thing, the nazi thing, it's never going to be okay. policy outlandishness, on the other hand, fades in and out with the boundaries of propriety in the two political parties. sometimes it's very embarrassing to be governor ultrasound. sometimes, hey, it's what everybody's doing. what's happening right now in republican politics, a big deal republican politician, a national figure is crossing over from just being a shock to the conscience guy on policy to also just being kind of paul lepage. just being plain personally shocking as a guy. this is a path that is not well trod, but bob mcdonnell d

ohio republicans snuck a laundry list into the state's budget which john kasich signed into a law on a sunday night. or wisconsin governor scott walker signed that bill that was blocked by a federal judge, the one designed to shut down most of his state's abortion clinics, on the friday after the fourth of july in a private ceremony. nothing is more telling than the way republicans are fighting against abortion rights. nothing tips the republican governor's hand more than the fact they refuse to be forthright on this issue. the fact they refuse to talk about what they're doing. it's a sure sign they don't believe the people they represent are behind it. joining me now is evan smith, ceo and editor in chief of the "texas tribune." evan, i found it really interesting, this speech, particularly because it was rick perry talking about jobs and the economy which was supposed to be the rick perry platform that was going to catapult him to the head of the pack in the primary in 2012. it did not go that way. and i have gotten the sense from people i know around rick perry that he actually, t

similar scene that took place at man past man o'clock last man-th in ohio when republican governor john kasichnew huge state budget that was stuffed with changes to state law on rape and abortion. all these things added at the last minute in ohio without debate that passed on a party line vote. stuff put into the budget like a gag order on rape counselors, blocking them from counseling. stuff like a new mandated ultrasound for ohio women seeking abortion services. whether or not that ultra sound was medically necessary and whether or not the woman wanted it. and along with that mandated ultrasound, you also get a mandated speech from your doctor, whether or not your doctor actually believes what is in the speech the state is mandating that he or she has to say. they redefined the meaning of the word pregnancy in the ohio state budget. seriously. they stuffed the budget with all kinds of stuff that's now going to be the new norm for women in ohio. yeah, of course, it makes sense to sign all that into law with the guys. it's like last year's house hearing in d.c. about obama care's contraception

do you think john kasich would do this to cleveland? do you think scott walker would do it to madison? do you think any republican governor is now going to go into a staff meeting and say, we got some financial problems. let's do what they did up in detroit there. that way we can kill the unions. don't worry about them middle class folks. they'll just have to figure it out. they can move in with the kids. now there's more on detroit. i want to show you what's happening in the neighborhoods. for more, lets turn to detroit resident lee. he is in a neighborhood where perfectly nice homes are being demolished in lee's neighborhood. good to have you with us. you call my radio show this week. you said some very profound things. tell us, where are you and what's going on? good to have you with us tonight. >> i'm in one of detroit's middle class neighborhoods on the northwest side of detroit. called the bagley community. i wanted your viewers and listeners to understand what the state is doing to my neighborhood. we have been fighting to try to

on sunday night john kasich placed himself firmly in that tradition asking abortion providers to provide an ultrasound on any woman wanting an abortion and inform the patient if a fatal heart beat is found and ask the woman if she would like to hear it. it reprioritizes funding and drastic cuts for family planning group and cuts budgets for rape victim clinics. think about that, you're a rape victim, walk into a rape crisis center and the counselor cannot talk about abortion with you at the risk of cutting off the funding for the organization. >>> as ohio state senator nina turner told me on sunday night, no hearings, no debate. >> they put the provisions in like thieves in the night like cow warpds that they are. they didn't have the decency to have the anti woman legislation stand alone so we can debate it. >> those restrictions, some of the straightest in the country, they don't have a law in ohio. the battle over women's bodies in ohio is over and the fate will be left to the voters of ohio. >>> the battle in texas, however, is just entering the dramatic third act. today thousands of

in ohio where governor john kasich signed legislation into law that required trans vaginal ultrasoundsn women seeking abortions. the bill also redefines a medical emergency from an emergency that threatens a woman's health to one that would, quote, result in her death. in the wisconsin state senate, meanwhile, debate over a bill requiring women to get an ultra sound before they could get an abortion erupted into chaos. >> i move that the body vote immediately on the current question. their the question before the house is nondebatable. >> nondebatable. >> call the roll. >> you're out of order! >> ellis. >> the question is nondebatable. >> that woman saying the question about we will's health, nondebatable. it gets crazier. in north carolina without providing public notice, house republicans amended a bill on motorcycle safety standards to include restrictions on abortion some were only aware that it could not teenage abortion-related provisions three minutes before the committee was set to meet. this shady process inspired online outrage including the twitter hash, motorcycle vagina. t

in ohio, republican governor john kasich signed into law last night, last night, a series of sweepingnti-abortion measures as part of the state's budget act. the act contains provisions that force women to undergo ultrasounds. it cuts funding for planned parenthood. it limits women's access to hospitals and rape clinics. in kansas, a bill that passed in april which declares that life begins at fertilization is meeting resistance obviously in the courts because it disagrees with roe v. wade. on friday, two minor provisions of that law were struck down, including one which required abortion providers to post statements on their websites, declaring that the state's declarations about abortions were scientifically accurate. the meat of the bill remains in the books. anyway, what does the fight in texas mean for those states and all the states? what does it say about women right now, their rights, their growing power in politics? wayne slater is the senior political writer for "the dallas morning news," and dawnna dukes is a democratic representative in the texas state legislature. thank y

and last night in ohio governor john kasich signed into law the state's new budget that cuts fundinganned parenthood and would strip rape crisis centers of their funding if they counsel women about abortion. any abortion options. also in the state budget a provision that would force women to have an ultrasound before an abortion and prohibits women from being transferred to public hospitals if they need additional care after an abortion procedure. joining me now, cecile richards, president of planned parenthood federation of america, and anna marie cox, columnist for "the guardian." cecile, you're back in texas. this fight resumes. what strategies do you think are possible for wendy davis now against the governor? >> well, today was an extraordinary day here, lawrence. literally, the legislature came back because much governor perry's trying to push through these bills that are so extreme he couldn't get them down in a regular session. obviously, he couldn't even get them done in the last special session. so he's brought the legislature back one more time again to try to cram them th

we've seen ohio, john kasich and company sneaked it in to a budget bill. in north carolina.states. wisconsin. there's an injunction against enforcement of what the legislature there did under scott walker? >> that's right. what's always been interesting about the abortion debate -- which seems to be all over the place and in the news now -- is how people feel about the whole issue hasn't changed in decades. most people are very sort of deeply ambivalent and conditional in how they feel about abortion and the more the debate is about the fetus, which is what this 20-week ban is -- the more the anti-abortion side wins. but the more it is about the woman and her access to abortion and her ability to make this decision herself, the more that the abortion rights advocates win. >> forced sonograms, 20-week termination -- i mean preventing abortions at 20 weeks when roe v. wade has 22 weeks. this has been the law of the land for decades. >> but to karen's point though, it is still i think about the fetus and viability. the argument that you're getting a lot of folks on the pro-life

yesterday in ohio, governor john kasich quietly signed one of the nation's strictest antiabortion bills a part of the state budget. did he so surrounded by nothing but men. this law forces any woman seeking an abortion to undergo an ultrasound even if she doesn't want one. it effectively defunds planned parenthood, imposing such regulation on aborg borgs clinics that three clinics in ohio are likely to close. the law is so draconian it takes away funding for rape crisis clinics if they counsel sexual assault victims on abortion. law redefines the word pregnancy in the state of ohio. now flying in the face of all reason, not to respect respect for women's reproductive health, and above all, science, pregnancy in the state of ohio now begins at fertilization. perhaps women across the country might take a cue from a texas protesters yesterday whose sign read life begins with a new governor. joining me today, salon.com editor at large and msnbc political analyst, joan walsh. business and economics correspondent for slate, matt u ig glasous. joining us from austin, the texas state senator le

john kasich is signing -- this is a budget bill. these are amendments attached to a budget bill.ing this in a very orthodox way either. they know that they are on the wrong side of these issues. they know that women are rising up against them. but they're doing it anyway. >> joan is right. but representative thompson, governor perry had some real harsh words for pro-choice activist, pro rights activist who gathered at the state capitol last week. listen to this and give me your response. >> the question is are you going to let a small group of people take over the process, an unruly mob, to keep democracy. >> an unruly mob. >> well, let me tell you what my response is. the people came out, and they have a right to redress their government. i think the first amendment of the united states constitution gives us that right. and they let their voices be heard. and they want to make sure that the governor understand that they are a part of this society, that they have rights, and those rights shouldn't be trampled upon in texas. and they have a right to be heard. he is the governor of

now rubio, jeb bush in there, potentially chris christie, governors like john kasich, paul ryan.uch more crowded field. a much less predictable outcome. >> and that's fun because the republicans we normally do have a front runner and know what's going to happen. this is an interesting race. >> there's no one to watch in line. >> they usually do the line about democrats fall in love, republicans fall in line. but i think it's interesting that ted cruz seems to have just written off the hispanic vote. he's decided to oppose immigration, but he's clearly worried about the women's vote. he and rand paul have joined with senator gillibrand on the sexual assault in the military bill, and that is a funny place for him to be. because it's basically saying take away the chain of command. and -- >> in opposition to most of the republican leadership. >> and older democrats as well. this is generational to some degree. but it's also a place where he's clearly going. >> you're from texas, you also worked with the senator on the bush campaign. >> and the first campaign in '99 and 2000. ted cru

the department of education passed through john kasich's budget resolution. these republicans are proposing nothing as dramatic, sweeping and radical as we did back then and we still got to a deal. >> right now you have a speaker of the house, i'm not saying this critically of him but more of his members who can't bring his members along. you had 98% of the bush tax cuts made permanent at the end of the last year without a majority of republicans support because he couldn't bring the people from who are the ideologic purists along. the fact is it's not just john mccain, not just tom colburn there's a lot of people to deal with. this congress has done nothing. if you were to look back to 2007 which is only six years ago by this point in time the congress had passed 48 pieces of legislation. this congress has passed 19 pieces of legislation. they are not doing anything. >> jim, let's talk about the substance of the speech. forget the politics. was there anything in there -- there wasn't a lot new in that speech. was there anything in there, anything significant

in ohio, governor john kasich. in louisiana, governor bobby jindal.n louisiana, let's not forget slick mitch daniels. in michigan, well, it was governor rick snyder. how about new jersey? governor chris christie has no problems berating teachers at town halls. he's also actively fought the teach teachers' union and made it harder for teachers to gain tenure. >> i mean, are you kidding? it's a rigged game. they are a political thuggery operation. that's what they are. >> if i push too hard on this, i'm going to be accused by conservatives of being angry. >> this fight has to be had. >> education has been one of the big pillars of the progressive movement in the democratic party for decades. but you see, that, too, is under attack by the conservatives. >> first off, it's none of your business. i don't ask you where you send your kids to school. don't bother me about where i send mine. >> the arrogance just drips off this guy. >> you're not compensating me for my education and you're not compensating me for my experience. >> well, you know what, then you

john kasich is trying to do a good job there, but he's fighting strong headwinds in the state, and i'meveland myself and, i can tell you, it's a real tragedy what's happened to ohio over the last 30 or 40 years. bill: do you think just before we get to detroit, michigan, are they, are they truly headed the way detroit is? >> yes, they are. they clearly are. i mean, when you have 1400 separate income taxes in ohio, 1400, every city, county, each one has a separate income tax added on to the state income tax added on to the federal income tax, and you wonder why people aren't working. bill, you can't tax an economy into prosperity. and they're -- bill: i didn't think the taxes were that big of an issue michigan, it was the pension plans that were set up 50 or 60 years ago that they're still living off of. >> but that's true too. it's a confluence of all of these events lined up. detroit has a separate income tax of 2.5% on individuals. it also has a separate corporate tax in detroit itself. does that explain why people move to the suburbs? then you have michigan has a separate corporate

the budget, the current ohio governor john kasich signed sunday night expanded eligibility for schoolonsin governor scott walker, a favorite around here, signed a budget that grows an existinging system of taxpayer funded school vouchers and makes performance data about those schools more secret. joining me now is the man i love to debate on the issue of school vouchers, louisiana governor, also the executive director of kids rethink new orleans schools, dr. streef perry educator and tv one hass and education reporter and author of "hope against hope." all right, buddy. make the vouchers case. >> well, they are not the answer but they are a tool that will approach an answer. that's all. i don't want to exaggerate their effect good or bad. what i like about them, they take families who don't have a choice like rich americans do to send their kids to a rich school or private school, allows these relatively poor families so choose. that's very powerful and will change the system. that's the only case i make for vouchers, a tool in a country that needs a better education system. that's it

republican governor john kasich signed the budget into law last night and refused to take questions fromtoday to deal with three measures that didn't make it through the regular session that ended on friday. governor rick perry called for the additional time after stephanie mentioned last hour. democratic state senator wendy davis successfully led a 13-hour filibuster to stop an anti-abortion bill. this one would close all but five of the state's clinics and make abortion illegal after 20 weeks. davis tells "the washington post," if it is possible, she and fellow democrats will try to filibuster the bill again but if it passes, texas women do have the option of filing legal action to stop officials from enforcing that law. we're back after the break.

john kasich in ohio. we've got the two states. texas and ohio.h with the most stringent anti-abortion measures that we've -- that have been passed in decades. >> well, that's right. we've been hearing a lot about what happened -- >> bill: it has happened in ohio. >> it's happened in ohio, bill. really, i think there's about 14 states that have these kind of restrictions that say no abortion after 20 weeks which is before viability which brings in that tension with the roe v. wade and in ohio, you have a really big measure. this is kind of been the push this past year is that you've had democrats in texas specifically successfully blocking small abortion measures. so, for instance, the measure in texas, there was a separate bill for the 20-week ban for closing down the clinics and democrats successfully blocked that bill. so texans did is they put it all together. made it a big omnibus legislation, took it through special session special rules and are now trying to again ram it through. similar thing is happening here in ohio while all eyes are on

it's got a blue state pattern, but has john kasich as a great governor and a republican legislature. out in california. we have a functional bankruptcy in california with a 13% income tax. people are leaving the state in droves, steve. they're moving to florida. they're moving to texas and oklahoma. this country is divided into portions of it which love jobs and the private sector, want to keep taxes low and government small, and it's divided into places that think detroit's just fine and that's where they're headed. >> steve: i think you're right about that observation. the great radio host, hugh hewitt joining us from his home state of california. thanks for getting up early for us. >> my pleasure. good to see you. >> steve: 20 minutes after the top of the hour. many of us ignore the fine print on your magazine subscription or credit card application, but you won't after this next segment. what's hidden inside could come with a costly punch. plus united kingdom taking on illegal immigration with these billboards. go home or face arrest! do you think they go too far? here is bret mi

election is over, starting in january you see bobby jindal in louisiana sam brown back in kansas, john kasich, for instance, seek to either completely eliminate or dramatically cut the income tax and pay for it by an increase in sales taxes consumption taxes that disproportionately hit the middle and working class. that's what mitt romney was promising, but they're doing it state by state which is why it is so important we elect democrats. >> bill: a lot of laws written by the american legislative exchange council they mimeograph them. e-mail them or something or hand them to state after state after state and they put in the hopper and they pass them and there you go. copycat like the stand-your-ground laws. >> the abortion ban in texas north dakota, the mandatory ultrasound walker and kasich signed. this is clearly concerted effort to do this state by state. and it's not good for women and it is not good for the middle class which is why we have to elect more democrat governors. >> bill: two races this year. how many next year? >> 36. it is a busy cycle. we viewed this in a two-year cycle. w
