centre de lindsey graham introduced a bill that would ban abortion after 15 years. they say they plan to reintroduce that into the house. but he has not gotten a yes or no on whether it will go to the floor and i think it's important to note that whatever does pass the house with the republican majority it will not pass the senate which is still democratic. host: what is the other side of this debate planning for sunday to commemorate the anniversary? guest: from the abortion rights movement, they want to use this moment to kickstart some of their organizing and volunteer training so that their organizers can be on the ground fighting abortion restrictions like, during this state legislative session. it is the first state legislative session for the majority of the states since the overturn of roe. vice president harris will be delivering remarks in her remarks will focus on fighting in state-level restrictions and pushing congress to pass national protections for abortion. host: national health care reporter with the washington post, thank you. host: let's turn to

ago, i hope our panelists stay with us if they can, we just heard from the republican senator lindsey graham, who was just note i if ied about the discovery of documents at the private home of former vice president mike pence. here's part of what senator graham said moments ago. take a listen. wait, i'm told we don't have the sound. i'll read it to you. he says, what became a political problem you know for republicans is now a national security problem for our country. he adds, we need to find out what happened. you have trump, you have pence, you have biden, the only thing i think you'll find at my house a bunch of chik phil lay bags on the floor. i don't know how this happened. we need to get to the bottom of it. i want to go back to kelly o'donnell, who covers the white house with me these days. you spent years covering the hill as well. and classified documents, this is not shotgun that we have heard about being talked in the loosy goosy way as they are right now where they seem to be showing up all over the place. they were showing up after a search and then scattered on the ground by t

lindsey graham from south carolina now calling for a special counsel. that's a big question. what is merrick garland doing to go forward in the way that he did with donald trump? does he do the same thing? if you're the white house and you don't want a special counsel, that might be where this ends up. this is a real gift politically to republicans who saw what happened to donald trump and all of the coverage in trouble that he has gotten into so far with the discovery at mar-a-lago. a different situation because he didn't cooperate but republicans will be all over this trying to score political points and also to get to the bottom of it. >> the last thing the white house wants is i'm sure you know, a special counsel being appointed by the attorney general to investigate. >> it's not a given that that will happen but if this never happened, republicans in the house would still be going after the justice department. okay? they have broader concerns. they've created this subcommittee about the weaponization of the federal government, and some of the same republicans who want th

if you think back to january six, immediately after, think back to how angry lindsey graham was, how furious mitch mcconnell was. it was kevin mccarthy who made his way down to mar-a-lago and helped trump out of the mess that he was in as a related to january six. there's trump of nobody whatsoever to him, because even if he quote unquote endorsed him, does not feel like he's pushing it very hard? >>. i think time and time again, what you have seen, whether it's mike pence or lindsey graham or kevin mccarthy, is that the only thing that matters to president trump is how a political relationship affects him. once he finds that relationship no longer useful to his own political brand and success, he just discards it. with kevin mccarthy, i think it's very telling that donald trump waited until yesterday to say anything, because he did not want to be associated with a loser. now, i guess you can say it's a certain degree of loyalty to trump expressed by eventually coming around and saying, yes, of what my fellow republicans to support kevin mccarthy, but he had to be dragged into doing

. >> i want to play what lindsey graham had said today which is along these lines, take a listen. >> you got trump, you've got pence, you've got biden, the only thing i think you'll find in my house is a bunch of chick-fil-a bags on the floor. the bottom line is, i don't know how this happened, we need to get to the bottom of it, i don't believe for a minute that mike pence is trying to intentionally compromise national security. i think that about biden and trump, but clearly we have a problem here. hopefully when this is all said and done, maybe we are over classifying things, that might be part of the problem, but count me in forgetting this fix. >> maybe you and senator graham could team up here. >> i think there is a danger and thinking that everybody does it. it may be true at the highest levels of government that it is common for the most senior officials to be reckless with us. >> we should also say that these are the highest, the most special case. president, vice president are people would enormous files to actually have to like move quickly to get everything move around. >

but you're not gonna find -- >> no comment on lindsey graham 's chick-fil-a bag disclosure today, butry is a guide, the senator might want to double check his house for any classified information. here, former vice president, mike pence, here is a november. >> let me ask you as we sit here in your home office in indiana. did you take any classified documents with you from the white house? >> i did not. >> do you see any reason for anyone to take classified documents with them leaving the white house? >> there would be no reason to have classified documents, particularly if they were in an unprotected area. >> today we got the news that last week a lawyer for former vice president pence found about a dozen documents marked as classified in pence's indiana home. the same home were just months earlier he gave that interview saying he did not take any classified documents with him from the white house. but as much as this is a story about former vice president, mike pence, it's also a story about the system our government uses to keep classified information safe. and how, clearly, part of

nevertheless, you listen to senate republicans like lindsey graham, this is what they are saying. watch. >> okay. so let's find out how that happened. you got trump, you got pence, you got biden. only thing i think that you will find at my house is a bunch of chick-fil-a bags on the floor. bottom line is i don't know how this happened. we need to get to the bottom of it, i don't believe for a minute that mike pence is trying to intentionally compromise national security. i think that about biden and trump, but clearly we got a problem here. so what became a political problem, you know, for republicans is now national security problem for the country. >> reporter: so you are seeing him saying that this has become a national security problem. certainly there are others here in this building who agree. on the senate side, the intel committee is going to get some general briefing from the director of national intelligence tomorrow. we know they have asked for damage assessments in the case of the trump mar-a-lago documents and as well as in the case of the biden penn center and as wel

senator lindsey graham, of course, and governor henry mcmaster.to start his campaigning in earnest, and so that's something republicans are looking to closely really seeing that trump and his 2024 campaign are not only ramping up but being taken more seriously by voters in the polls and fellow republicans. >> highlight to this point was probably that astronaut nft he put out. this is at least an actual event. got south carolina and new hampshire this week. interesting, what are we hearing in terms of other republicans jumping in? nikki haley flirting earlier this week. mike pompeo a book out. mike pence in the news, one because he's thinking of returning. no one's jumped in yet. what's the timetable? >> exactly right. you know from covering these things it's starting to get a little late. we might expect other republicans to have announced by now in past cycles, but the theory of the case for some, they want to see the contours of trump's campaign and how it starts to shape up in the coming months and whether and how he really takes off or if he s

when lindsey graham first proposed it, it was met with -- the room was not that filled with applause,hat it was best decided at the state level, including senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. do you think there is a chance that republicans actually move forward with this in congress? >> oh, i would not underestimate anything that might happen with respect to a national ban. the thing that is chilling, that is on my mind, is the fact that this is not the end. they have made it clear that it is not -- a nationwide ban is what they are going for -- one of the ways, yes, inducing in congress, they don't have the votes here right now. the president would veto anything. but they are trying to block access to medical abortion across the country. so, a lawsuit was filed in texas, which seeks to reverse the decision that the fda made in 2000, approving medication abortion -- that's the abortion pills -- and they want to try to ban that nationwide, which would mean in california, in new york. and medication abortion is the way that more than half the women get their abortions in america toda

lindsey graham has worked with dick durbin over the years.ill there and i think he would still be interested in an immigration solution. in the house, maria salazar of south florida has proposed a bill that she thinks could get democratic support, especially in this congress, where democrats are in the minority. but it's few and far between. and the bottom line is that republican leadership is afraid of this issue. republican leadership forced us to file a discharge petition in 2018 just to have a debate and votes on the floor on immigration. so that's a big obstacle. >> yeah, you're absolutely right. i would love for you to come back. this is going to be an issue for a while. thank you both very much. >> up next, heading down to the sunshine state where school shootings are not a priority, but putting a stop to the dirty diversity and inclusion programs, that sure as heck is. we'll be right back. did you know you can get discounts on your meds even if you don't have a medicare prescription drug plan? it's true. all you have to do is go to si

they were republican lindsey graham and democrats richard blumenthal and sheldon whitehouse and thesedo they want to see the germans send tanks, but they want to see american tanks sent to ukraine also. lindsey graham described the current situation as a clown show but he used an expletive instead of clown. >> what's the u.s. weighing in terms of tanks and what happens if neither the u.s. nor germany supply them? >> lindsey, the question is exactly right. i appreciate what raf just presented. look, i think what the united states recognizes right now is that this war is in yet another new phase, right? the russians are digging in. they're digging trenches, they're establishing dragon's teeth which is this large number of concrete blocks and barriers being constructed to hinder military vehicles in the east and the south. they're laying mines. they're fortifying their front lines. to breakthrough these defenses, ukrainian forces are right, they need to attack enemy units in a deliberate way. their particular focus is we need tanks. the united states has said, look, we understand you nee

lindsey graham after a trip to ukraine. >> we are convinced, the three of us, the ukrainians need heavy tanks. best is the german leopard tank, american tanks can be helpful in this regard. if we send some abrams tanks, it will open the floodgates to more tanks coming from allies. what we are urging is to lead by example. >> sandra: fox is reporting the u.s. could announce the delivery of a significant number of tanks as early as this week. pentagon officials at a briefing just last hour say no announcement at this time. >> john: alex hogan is live in the capital of kyiv and alex, looks like at the very least ukraine will get leopard tanks from poland and could in fact get some american abrams tanks at some point in the future. >> that's right, john and sandra. we heard it in the briefing, the white house not confirming it will send the tanks but also not denying it. huge implications here in ukraine and could encourage and incentivize germany, and now a german news outlet is claiming germany will send in the leopard tanks, something the defense minister said could happen some time soon

antiabortion advocates will like to see a federal ban, like the one senator lindsey graham introducedhe context of a post-roe america and an uncertain national landscape, pro-choice groups are finding new ways to try to reverse some of the damage done by the dobbs decision. this, week a group of religious leaders filed a religious freedom lawsuit opposing missouri's abortion ban. the groups claim that lawmakers who invoked their own religious beliefs while drafting the bill that they violated religious freedom provisions in the state constitution. for 50 years, the antiabortion movement has been finding creative ways to stifle access to the medical procedure. and now the other side is fighting back with its own very novel strategy. joining us now is nancy northrop, president and ceo of the center for reproductive rights. nancy, thanks for being here. >> absolutely. >> it's a hard day to think about roe v. wade. i think it's always a hard day. but especially in the context of the last year. the missouri lawsuit is different. and people seem to be very excited about the possibility of t

lindsey graham, charly's. yeah, you love the raids. >> lindsey graham had a very interesting reaction. watch. hopefully, when this is all said and done, maybe are over overclassifying things that may be part of the problem. but count me th be in for gettinggettin this fixed. >> all right. i think that is a legitimate concern. absolutely right. there's there's too muchthatsifd there's too much that is classified. quickly, your reaction to thatq, ? itsolutely. it's a real problem.'s a real pe i think that wt would go a long way towardsarency transparency there. these papersg to the american people. it's and unless it's of the most important secrecy, they should be able to see them. >> laura >> all right, charlie, good to see you. go have a read. have >> all right. the lapd chief is finally somew. l.a.p.d. chief is finally taking action but not o never mindion, but not on crime. never mind that a city's record number of murders and robberies. w that the l.a. police department chief, michael moore, not the documen

listen to what lindsey graham said. >> the big theme here today is consolidation of power in the hands of few could create problems for the many. and out of this hearing, i hope we could make a better experience for the consumer being able to buy tickets to things that you want to see without such a debacle. >> now gop senator mike lee, he also used this debacle to criticize the obama administration. questioning whether or not the obama justice department should have allowed the 2010 murther that created this company. the merger between ticketmaster and live nation and whether or not it gave too much power, i think what is so interesting here is this episode has shined a bright light on what is normally a wonky issue. whether or not some companies have gotten too dominant. >> and this is happened before when it comes to ticketmaster and now it is back in the spotlight again. it is good to see you. this hearing is ongoing. we'll see what more comes of it. >>> in the meantime, joining me now is fred rosen. the former ceo of ticket pmaste. it is fwraet to have you, fred. thank you for com

that anyone who came out of nowhere was 16 other candidates like jeb bush ted cruz, john casey, lindsey grahamre not trivial people he beat all of them. had the establishment not gone all out in 2020 he probably would have one in 2020. to write him off is silly governor desantis and others. a lot of people get to come play but if you say quickly it is donald trump. host: you endorsed him in may in 2016 will you endorsed him again? >> i am very close to president trump. we have been friends for many many years my expectation is i would help in every way i could that i am not in the endorsement business i'm writing a new book coming out in june called march for the majority it is how we actually created the majority in 1994 and the lessons we learned with bill clinton but i talk with the president regularly. i think is very formidable. if you look at the kind of situation prior to his leaving office and the mess we are in now that if a second trump presidency would be better. host: you are 79 the president is 80. are you too old to be president? >> henry kissinger is 20 years older than me and i
