we spoke to john martin and the doctor who is also one of the resistant movements leaders on to steven vine mental. so a doctor, but he believes that mandatory vaccination is necessary, is a very big pro choice. we would say as it comes to abortion, that's something that i can, that i can kind of bring into a comparison that my body, my choice movement in the u. s. they say that this is a rice that's not to be infringed upon. it doesn't mean that everybody's going to go out and get an abortion or not have an abortion. so for me all depends on your own medical choices. this is not a personal choice. medical field. this is something that medical field people need to be accurate because people that are not facts are much more likely to harbor co, secure and to pass on to their patients. so it's not a personal worship is personal soccer hurt anybody but you are the the sciences come out that you can still have a corona virus, you can still pass it while you're vaccinated. you have the same exact viral load and it takes years to require all the ins and outs of what that vaccine brings to th

john han martin of "the new york times," rachel bade of politico.onathan, you're basically a new orleans resident yourself. how much anxiety is there on the gr ground? are they prepared this time around? >> yes, to the latter. more so than the past, but i-10 east and west was full. this city and state means a lot to me and my family. i think it's important for every american watching this to realize how indispensable new orleans is to the american family. this city has offered so much to the country, to the world. culture, music, on and on. i hope folks watching at home will keep the city and state in mind and do everything they can. think back those sugar bowls, madderi gra mardi gras that you went to. >> phil, this is yet another crisis for the president on the heels of afghanistan and everything else. >> slow august has not existed for that white house. day after day, week after week of extraordinary critical events and in some cases crisis events. when you talk to white house officials, these are the specific moments they believe the president w

so it was in the spirit of not only john lewis but martin luther king jr., fannie lou hamer.ight today because we're still fighting for our democracy. we're still fighting against voter suppression. we're still fighting against racial issues. >> let's talk about that fight. this past week you and your democratic colleagues in the house passed the john lewis voting rights advancement act. you tweeted now it's time for the senate to make some good trouble. do you really think that's possible with the filibuster in place in the senate and with your democratic colleagues there, joe manchin and kirsten sinema still insisting that the filibuster is a good thing to keep in place? >> we know it will be a difficult battle. here's what i also know. if you look at the last four times that the voting rights was reauthorized, republican presidents did it. we should be asking ourselves why is it partisan now? why do we have senators and why do we have people in the ohio house -- in the united states house of representatives that refuse. not one republican voted for the john r. lewis voting

been gathering since early this morning, that location is close to where a 23-year-old john lewis introduced martinone of the most pivotal moments of the entire fight for civil rights in the u.s. it is also close to where a new voting equality act bearing lewis's name will be headed to the senate where it faces an uphill battle. i'm join now by andrea hailey, the ceo of vote.org. andrea, thank you for your time and for joining us. in today's marches really show an incredible amount of support for the john lewis voting act, the for the people act. at this point there doesn't seem to be a lot of chance these will pass without filibuster reform. so do you agree with that and how do you move forward? >> absolutely. i think that with thousands of people showing up in washington and all across the nation demanding voting rights that our leaders in congress would be wise to listen to their constituents. these bills are overwhelmingly popular with the american population. everyone wants their freedom protected and freedom to the ballot box protected, and we're going to have to have a carve-out in the filib

that's how bright it was. >> martin: air force master sergeant john haines and his security team wereside their armored patrol vehicle when the first missiles struck. >> haines: and across the radio we heard, "incoming, incoming, incoming." >> martin: what do you do? >> haines: i just threw the phone down and ran to my vehicle. and once that impact happened, the back pressure blew our doors closed and then you just see cloud of dirt, fire. >> coleman: they call it a "shock wave," and you kind of feel that-- that wave, almost internally. like, it's almost as if you, your organs are, you know, kind of wavering around inside. >> martin: sergeant kimo keltz was outside the bunkers, manning a guard post in case the missile barrage was followed by a ground assault. >> kimo keltz: we got down and we protected our-- our vital organs, our heads. and we waited. >> martin: did it blow you around? >> keltz: in one of the closest ones that had hit directly near us, had actually lifted my body about two inches t >> martin: iran fired a total of 16 missiles from three locations. five missed. 11 land

john lewis voting advancement bill this week. now it goes to the senate. and the reason martin luther king iii and i who have convened have said let us have the location of the major rally, with the capitol in the background, is to show the world that the senate will be in that building deciding whether there will be federal law gnat wout supercede these state restrictive laws, which is exactly what dr. king martin's father and john lewis whose brothers are with us had to fight 55, 56 years ago. as long as we are in a state's rights -- state by state democratic process we lose. when the federal government protects blacks, browns, womens, we win. we're here to say we're not just remembering 58 years ago, we're here to say based on what we learned from what they did 58 years ago we're here to make sure we face the challenges today. we want to see the john lewis advancement bill passed the u.s. senate. they need to carve out a way to go around the filibuster just like they carved out a way to go around it to confirm the supreme court nominees of donald trump. >> rev, let's show pe

continue the conversation, legal and political fallout from the developments, bring in arva martin, and johnouse correspondent. i want to go back to that tweet from the lieutenant governor. and she says that the ag's investigation has documented repulsive, unlawful behavior. i believe these brave women and admire their courage coming forward. no one is above the law under new york's constitution. the assembly will now determine the next steps because lieutenant governor stands next in line for succession, it would not be appropriate to comment on this process further. she's not going directly at impeachment, but after a statement like that, what else does she have to say? >> impeachment is really the big question. if you watch the governor's statement today, he steered very clear of that. i thought it was conspicuous. he talked about how i look forward to my day in court. i think he's referring to civil suits there. he can and likely will be sued by some of these accusers. here are the real question for elected officials in new york, particularly the democrats in the assembly. everyone is ta

john lewis. have my brother samuel with me and my nephew, and i would like to thank reverend sharpton and martin asking the senate to do the right thing. we know that it will eliminate voter suppression and make it easier for minorities to vote, not harder. 58 years ago. my brother and others spoke at this event. we realize more than ever this fight is not for a day, week, or month, or even a year. we must be committed to fight for a lifetime, so it does not matter what side of the aisle you are on, it is more important to be on the right side of history, so i want to ask the senators, what are you going to tell your grandchildren when they ask you what side did you take? did you pass it or not pass it? because that is what they will remember their grandfathers and grandmothers by. this bill has a lot of things in it, not just voting, it protects the right, eliminates state putting inflows to make it harder to vote. voting -- in laws to make it harder to vote. voting is not supposed to be her. it is supposed to be easy. it is the rights that our families fought for, it died for , and just think

john lewis. i have my brother samuel here with me. and my nephew ron. i would like to thank rev. al sharpton, martin in this event. we know that congress passed >> good evening. i am henry lewis, the younger brother of john lewis. i have my brother samuel with me. and my nephew ron. i would like to thank rev. al sharpton, are visiting, for inviting us here in this part of the event. we know that congress passed the john lewis voting rights act, and not only are we asking the conscious to guide them, and doing the right thing, but we know that the bill will help eliminate suppression. not harder. 15 years ago, my brother and others spoke at this event promoting rights. we now realize, now more than ever, this fight is not for a day or a week or month. it is not for a year. we must be committed to fighting for a lifetime. it does not matter what side of the aisle you are on, it is more important to be on the right side of history. i, personally, want to ask those senators, what are you going to tell your grandchildren? when they ask you what side you took in the john lewis voting rights actct, did you

john lewis bill. s-1 is too much. what's your hope it'll make it through the senate? >> when martinsenate they said we'll see about john lewis. and i would challenge them. and when civil rights leaders and me met with the president we challenged him on the filibuster and the carveout. the key is the carveout. the one thing they all said is public sentiment. we want to see where the public is. that's why it's important that people show up tomorrow and march. how did we get the voting rights act in '65? it is because people marched in selma, people marched around the country. it came from the bottom up, lyndon johnson signed the voter rights act he didn't lead the moment. people say what is joe biden going to do? i say what are we going to do? that's why we want to focus on the capitol rather than remember what happened 58 years ago, let's look at what's happening right now, this senate must act. >> you'll be in washington putting the pressure on. >>> i wanted to ask about the supreme court decision about the moratorium on evictions. the supreme court saying the cdc doesn't have the a

that's why martin and andrea king and i are calling and the lewis family are calling for people to pass the john lewis act federal. >> the backdrop of all of this is the filibuster. if democrats can't find a way to kill it or to modify it, passing any kind of voting rights legislation will remain nothing more than a dream. joining me now to discuss, judith brown dianis and dean obeidallah, msnbc daily columnist and host of sirius xm's the dean obeidallah show. judith, with some of these restrictive new laws, we're lag at slashed voting hours, redudus ballot boxes, no vote by mail, no voting on sunday, purged voter rolls. are they hoping that voters just don't pay attention until they want to cast their vote? and are they willing to put up with the political risk that comes with that? >> well, i think, alicea, that they know that these barriers will hit black and brown voters. they know what the demographic shifts have been and what the census numbers show. and who it will impact. that's why they were crafted this way. they're also going to hit redistricting. but, remember, we, right now, because
