you have a new york doctor who's been charged with prescribing abortion pills to louisiana girl.stance of criminal charges against a doctor accused of sending abortion pills to another state, since the u.s. supreme court overturned roe v wade in 2022. you have said you would never, under any circumstances, turn this doctor over to the state of louisiana under any extradition request. what other mechanisms are available to you to protect health care workers in new york? >> i will protect this doctor and all health care workers because this is the continued collateral damage of the overturning of roe v wade that we saw at that moment, and we sound the alarms about it. but sadly, this is the law right now where it's left to individual states. but i have to protect my doctors, and my doctors have a right to prescribe prescribed, fda approved medication via telehealth, and for having a doctor in the state of new york who simply answered the call of a mother who wanted to get this prescription filled legally, and now to be facing jail time and conviction as a, you know, an accomplice t

host: that was don in louisiana.major headlines this week was yesterday's announcement from president trump that he would be placing tariffs on canada, mexico, and china starting today. in this morning's "wall street journal," an opinion coming from their board. the headline, "the dumbest trade war in history." it says there's a prospect of retaliation which canada and mexico have shown they know how to do for maximum political impact. in 2009, the obama administration and congressional democrats ended a pilot program that allowed mexican long-haul truckers into the u.s. as stipulated in nafta. mexico responded with targeted retaliation on 90 u.s. goods to pressure industries in key congressional districts. these included california grapes and wine, oregon christmas trees and cherries, jams and jellies from ohio and north dakota soy. when mr. trump imposed steel and aluminum tariffs in 2018, mexico got results using the same tactic, putting tariffs on steel, pork products, fresh cheese and bourbon. canadian prime min

supreme court right now about the censorship alluded to in the twitter files and now in missouri, in louisiana and, you know, a large against the biden administration for its censorship over the last few years and it's still in place most people don't even understand what's. could you just speak to the state of the media and this the sense of the reality we're all living in at this particular point it makes it really to know what to trust often. yes, it was kind of the same question that the gentleman right here asked me, but. the media is owned by by by titans or totally influenced by and controlled and and that's that's increasingly more concentrated in terms of ownership. and we see that manifested in, you know, the 6:00 news any night of terms of what we covered, how it's being covered. i don't have the most recent project update on that count. so you're asking part being. oh no no i was way going to a friend of mine. oh, okay. okay. but this gentleman. yeah, i've noticed it's become kind hard to organize around material policy reforms. we didn't have glass-steagall act reinstated. you you

california is ranked fourth in the country for the highest percentage of non-renewals, behind florida, louisiana carolina. as for the highest spike in premiums, the golden state is ranked 12th with an average increase of around 31%. >> if the rates had been adequate, i think that we wouldn't have seen these non-renewals right now. it's really a disaster. >> tom quirk is a 40 year veteran insurance broker based in san jose. >> when we talk to insurance companies, they tell us that the rate increases they're getting. they requested them years ago, long before inflation started to really eat up the dollar. so trying to get to the right price in this regulated system is going to be difficult. we don't let the free market really work. >> and right now we don't have a free market. in fact, there's very little competition as more than a dozen of the state's largest insurers have dropped out of the market or restricted issuing new policies, including state farm, allstate, usaa, travelers and nationwide. the list goes on. and this is why we're seeing the highest demand yet for the california fair plan. t

republican senator bill cassidy of louisiana, who is also a doctor, made clear the stakes of discrediting you may not want this to be the case, but i have constituents who partly credit you for their decision to not vaccinate their child. so your past of undermining confidence in vaccines with unfounded or misleading arguments concerns me. can i trust that that is now in the past? can data and information change your opinion, or will you only look for data supporting a predetermined conclusion? >> well, since being tapped by donald trump to run the department of health and human services, kennedy has tried to soften his prior skepticism of vaccines. but he's leaving something to be desired for senators like cassidy. >> will you reassure mothers unequivocally and without qualification, that the measles and hepatitis b vaccines do not cause autism? >> senator, i am not going into the agency with any. >> kind of a yes or no question because. so if you're because the data is there and that's kind of a yes or no. and i don't mean to cut you off, but that really is a yes or no. >> if that. >> i

in your exchange with my colleague from one of my former states that i lived in, louisiana, he repeatedly said "you," with respect to preparing a memo, or documents and he repeatedly said "we." so you are somebody who doesn't say i a lot even though it was the lead that got things done. i appreciate how you focused on that. now let's talk about how things changed over time. i don't know if presidential candidate clinton ever claimed that president trump president trump were legitimately elected. i know that stacey abrams never really allowed or acknowledged that governor kemp was governor until the second time she lost. i don't know what's wrong with you simply saying that former president biden was duly elected. i believe senator welch was asking for a legitimate reason, but multiple arm. most people say no we will create a wedge between you and the president and other people by using that word that they can absolutely exploit. so you have answered the question, former president biden was duly elected. i don't have a problem by saying he won because i certify the election along with so m

governors in republican states like louisiana have spoken out and said, like, this is bad for our people100 governors across the state of illinois who are republicans, who want me to help them protect their people from what donald trump is trying to do to their working families. >> to that point, governor, you noted with regard to the funding freeze, you noted that it was illegal and said what the president is trying to do is illegal. i know these are challenging times, and the trump administration is trying to confuse the american people. that's why it's so important that we speak plainly. and for me, that's the critical piece right now, is how plainly you level all of this up in front of the american people who voted for the price of eggs and the cost of gas and basic things. this administration, while it is deconstructing the administrative state of the federal government, it is also deconstructing the middle class in illinois. talk about that impact, because that's the bottom line here, is that families are directly middle class. families were directly impacted by all of this. >> so

. >> and speaking of public pressure, before you jump in, clay higgins, the congressman from louisiana, put out a tweet about this saying that we will be watching. essentially saying that, as you can see at the bottom of your screen, they're saying that they're watching bill cassidy. >> yeah, they're watching. i mean, a lot of these people collins, bill cassidy, todd young, they're on notice right now. i was talking to one outside, one outside adviser who is helping coordinate the pushback from maga allies, really trying to kind of threaten. and these senators with primaries if they did not vote? yes. and they told me that one, they're concerned about tulsi, because it's one thing to be able to rally people on the outside to protect someone when they feel that the attacks are personal, when they're about their personal home, when they're about past behaviors that they feel like aren't necessarily connected to the job. it's another when they have to try to rally people around someone who may not understand what their job is. and i think that that is what the concern is around tulsi spec

obviously already chatter about a primary challenge down in louisiana, but also staying true to to to his his principles as a doctor and as the top republican top senator on the top health committee in the u.s. senate. >> and, stephen, what other republicans do you think might be on the fence? i know mitch mcconnell has lately, you know, kept his, you know, sentiment close to the vest, so to speak. but what do you think as it pertains to rfk jr.. >> i think cassidy is the biggest one to watch. there were, i think, some concerns about todd young, but he has since said that he plans to to support the nomination. uh, look, i think you can look at all the the moderates on the floor, the susan collins, the lisa murkowski folks like that, that, that, that, you know, sort of generally draw eyes when, when there's going to be a vote that you need just 50 to get to. and if their support drops, uh, you know, you're going to need democrats or maybe vice president vance to, to make the trip to capitol hill to, to break a tie breaker. >> all right. stephen newcomb, sophia cai, thanks to both of yo

there's a place in, louisiana, called cancer alley, largely black communities suffering from cancer becauseof refineries. and these fenceline communities suffered a lot of damage. the auto industry transformative and actually said some get better at some bad patterns. but it was because in the 1930s, the united auto organized and said the kind of exploitation going on and auto manufacturing needs to stop. and they sat they occupied the plants they got the unions recognized and with that they then then sat down to negotiate the terms between and workers and came up with something that eventually got called the detroit treaty, which was an between labor and the companies to share the from the industry so if you think about that and that really sort of set the context for the postwar social compact between labor and capital in the united states. that came 30, 40 years after the discovery of oil. i think what we're trying to do with this book is shorten the process that is we don't need to wait 30 or 40 years for a brutal set of struggles to take place to say how can we create a template for ju

they can segregate by geography when texas law went into effect, corn hub into texas and operating louisiana with age verificatn and we know that's no longer true. >> thank you. >> i would urge the court to stick with strict scrutiny even if we forget alaska the on point presence dense for the moment. there's principles i think are important reliable principles that will serve us well going forward. yes, in this context but also in others. hostile regulator saying to adults, you should not be here and no consideration whatsoever ofwhy texas would have alived at a law like this unless out to chill adults and chill speaker when is it comes to expression that is clearly protected as to adults. we think this the case or not and there the court was looking at federal legislation on a well developed comprehensive legislative record where you could see what congress was doing and why it was doing it, and it was a serious genuine effort to regulate justice kavanagh now discussing to protect kids from all the content deemed inappropriate from minors regardless of sources. texas law is not fit for tha

my colic next to me from louisiana has already referenced federal spending, roughly in 2019 and $6.9 trillion in 2024. president biden's proposal was for $7 trillion. we greatly expanded federal spending, recklessly expanded it. including a number of areas that my colleague from virginia was referencing. areas that were expended during covid and never brought back down to 2019 levels. that reckless spending has led to four-year high inflation. we talked about that as well. in your opening remarks, he remarked how americans are worse off today four years later after joe biden because of his reckless spending. contributed to this inflation. that is not the only thing that contributed to how americans are being hurt by the policies of this biden administration that just left. one of the other areas they have been hurt by his the regulation. you have mentioned some of the bureaucracies out of control. throwing a 77-year-old in prison for building bonds. if you look over the last four years, the biden administration put in over 100,000 pages of new regulation. 33 feet tall. taller than a
