noem: sure. when i ran for governor in 2018, i talked about the fact that i wanted to put more history and civics into our k-12 system. i believe kids need to learn more about our background, where we came from, the importance of our history so we can learn from it and make better decisions in the future. i proposed a bill that first legislative session in january 2019, and it was defeated. it was defeated by republicans. even at that time, republicans did not want to put a burden on our schools, did not feel like we should be telling them what to teach. two years later, overwhelmingly now, republicans have passed the bill that i brought to them two years ago. they realized what was going on in our school systems and recognized that we need to have a true and honest history taught to our children so they can really celebrate this amazing accomplishment the country has been and our leaders, and also learn from them. and to strive to do better. i was the first candidate for office this year that si

noem: with that move -- dr. atlas: with that move, i would like to hear the details on how you have done by avoiding the lockdown and encouraging individual freedom on the economic rebound in your state. gov. noem: for us in south dakota, i never closed a single business and was clear about that. you mentioned it earlier that i also did not even define an essential business and i did not believe i had the ability to tell people their business was not essential and frankly, if you look at the guidelines of this country, if i were to close a business, that would be a taking of their business and i could open up the taxpayers to liability for the ramifications of doing something like that. i never issued a shelter-in-place or mandated masks. i told my people i would trust them. i gave them all the information and data i have and would let them use personal responsibility to make the best decisions for their help and well-being and take care of their families. they responded to that and appreciated that and we partn

south dakota governor kristi noem has been fighting for the unborn in her state as well.g announcement on the matter today. governor? , hi, rachel how are you doing this evening? >> rachel: tell us about about it. >> ban telemedicine abortions. what this would do is requiring in the state of south dakota that abortion would only legally be allowed in the situation defined by our statute but also after an in person examination by a doctor licensed in south dakota. and obviously, everybody knows that i'm pro-life and do not support any kind of abortions. but, here what the biden administration is doing is trying to put forward abortion on demand. and we're going to stop them and make sure that's not available in our state. >> rachel: so fascinating. i don't think a lot of people in america even knew that you could obtain an abortion via telemedicine. that's actually very interesting to me. another thing our audience probably doesn't know much about is that when you were elected to be governor, you decided that you needed someone in your administration to represent the unbor

one problem: smart governors like monte's hamptons, kristi noem, south dakota already beat you to it.tennessee, they knew from what may of 2020 that the state they had to govern, they would have to learn to live with covid. it is difficult and as horrible as it is. it is the experts who wasted the last 18 months moving goalpost only to pretend that we could somehow reach covid zero. but now that covid is starting to hurt biden in the polls, the media beginning to change it. the "angle" predicted this. today we are moving onto the new crisis, of course, climate change. and just as abe covid, the remedy means you will be poor and less free. and always a bit clear consensus with the lionized and canceled the pier at the same playbook for a power grab. more on that later in the show. but for now, we can expect the usual gnashing of teeth before and after this weekend's game. they will be home games in alabama, georgia, lsu, michigan state, notre dame, clemson, ohio state, and penn state. that is a lot of people. millions of americans will be happy. many will be returning to campus after y

and christy noem saying she wants to have the strongest pro life laws on the books in her book. joining us is barbara mcquade. i'm curious if you can walk us through what you think the supreme court said here and didn't say. it said clearly it wasn't ruling on the constitutionality of this texas law but just that the abortion providers did not make a compelling case. how do you read into this? is there wiggle room? can this law be challenged again down the road? >> it can be challenged down the road, but what is so upsetting and diabolical about the decision is the supreme court is hiding behind procedural complexities they want to see play out in the lower courts before they get involved. that might make sense except for the fact that while every minute that goes by, the rights of women are being violated. it flies in the face of something they did earlier this summer when they did intervene in a case in california when it involved religious liberty for that reason. so that suggests to me that the handwriting may be on the wall that they don't intend to give roe versus wade con

hand you have people looking at this texas example, we have a tweet from south dakota governor kristi noem, following the supreme court's decision to leave the pro-life texas law in place, i have directed the unborn child advocate in my office to immediately review the new texas law and current laws to make sure we have the strongest pro-life laws in south dakota. there were some more comments coming out of florida's governor, ron desantis. tell me the effect of this. get a bunch of states just start doing this and we could end up having a de facto overcoming of roe v. wade in this country? >> yes, that's the danger of yesterday supreme court decision. it greenlight any state doing the same thing as texas. it's not specifically texas or something like that. but ali, i think the most important thing to leave our viewers with is this, i know there is a lot of heartache tonight. my view is, one way or another, this decision will not stand. ishistory teaches us that the supreme court can't be out of step with public opinion for too long. it never works. the supreme court always conforms to it.

in play you something from south dakota governor kristi noem. a big time trump or. who with this comment stays on brand. we'll discuss on the other side. >> i'll fight to protect my people. and to defend their freedoms. in fact it was shocked to me that the president actually said in his speech today that this wasn't about freedom and personal choice at all. which i think is indicative of what's really in his heart and his agenda, that he has for this country. listen, this is not a power that is delegated to the federal government. this is a power for states to decide. >> so, cynthia, is she writes or near rights on the law in your view? >> no she's not rated all. think it's interesting that she so caring about people's personal rights. but has nothing to say about the unconstitutional trampling of rights for the women of texas. but she's not right, there's decades of laws supporting this decision by biden. they can follow all the lawsuits they want, ultimately in the supreme court, the biden administration will win on this one. >> so, cynthia, do you when you make

if you're ron desantis or kristi noem, how do you talk about this where you are not turning off trump voters, and there's a sizable portion that might want to move on from trump. how you talk about it is crucial. to say nothing of the fact that you're always going to have that sort of damocles, a trump tweet or statement hanging over your head, that's something you have to consider as you're running. >> amy, last question for you which is what lesson are you taking from california for anything to look ahead nationally, if taking any lesson? >> the blue state, et cetera, that the spending is totally one sided on the democratic side. i think turnout is critical to see. how much better did republicans do in terms of getting their voters out, the energizing factors we talked about in a state where they're outnumbered two to one. it is interesting to watch how the issue of covid is turned on its head. covid and the french laundry dinner that helped propel this issue onto the ballot of the recall and newsom forces turned it against elder the same way as we are seeing in virginia, using elde

that the answer is that there appears to be actually sufficient insulation for people like kristi noem in south dakota, the governor there. they had tons of people die relative to the state's population and has not paid any apparent political price. so if the base continues to be loud and active and support these people who make these calls, then apparently yes. >> yeah. susan, tomorrow marks 20 years since 9/11. what are you feeling about where we're heading two decades after this horrific date that changed this country forever? >> you know, don, it does feel like an inflection point. the symmetry, if you will, a coming full circle from the taliban being back in control of kabul two decades later. it's something that, you know, it's a moment where it feels like we're understanding that this is a different global time, that this is a moment where american hubris and overreach have perhaps, at least for now, killed off our sense of, you know, american exceptionalism. this idea that we were different and unique, that we operated in a way somehow outside of the laws of history. i feel lik

i've got to have you listen to something that kristi noem had to say on fox news on thursday. have a listen. >> this is not a power that is delegated to the federal government. this is a power for states to decide. in south dakota we're going to be free. my legal team is already working and we will defend and protect our people from this unlawful mandate. >> chairman harrison, republican leaders are making a conscious choice to fight back against president biden's covid protection measures. how will democrats proceed in dealing with a party so unwilling to help fight the pandemic? >> jonathan, these people are unhinged. it's like watching a version of looney tunes or something. they're cuckoo for cocoa puffs. this is absolutely crazy. there are so many vaccines that we take just walking around. you know, polio, measles. i have two young kids and every few months we take them to get their shots so that they can go to school. so why the hysterics for adding yet one more vaccine? there are people who are dying in the streets in other nations because they don't have access to the

you don't want republican supporters potentially looking at de santis for 2024, kristi noem, 2024, timcott, 2024, you want to keep them on team trump p. you keep people interested. he got wall to wall nonstop coverage when the sitting president of the united states. former presidents don't get the same amount of coverage. he wants to keep his base engaged so if and when he decides to run, they're with him. and if he decides he doesn't want to run, then he can play king maker on the republican side. howie: even yesterday 9/11 ceremonies he told a group of new york police officers that knows what he wants to do but he can't say because election laws but you'll be very happy, he said. he said i believe they're going to desert phi the -- de-certify the 2020 election. will there be media resentiment despite the hints and everything, turns out to be a head fake and he doesn't announce any time soon or is the press wanting this because they miss trump and the ratings. >> look at our competitors. they were thriving under president trump and now with president biden they are down in the dumps a

south dakota governor noem has directed her staff to look into emulating this attack on the constitutional right to choose. and other republican-led states aren't far behind. what actions can congress take to stop this assault on reproductive justice since the supreme court has refused to step in? >> yes, sir. of course we can codify laws that protect the rights of women. we already have such a law pending. and speaker pelosi has already indicated that we'll have a vote on it. i'm convinced that we can pass it in the house, and i'm optimistic about the senate because i believe that there are republicans who are concerned about the lack of an opportunity deal with incest and rape. and i'm also eager to say to you, reverend, there is a higher court than the supreme court that has to rule and has to make its opinion known. and had is the court of public opinion. it's time for the court of public opinion to issue its thoughts. it's time for people to do what is lawful, and that, reverend, is engage in peaceful protests. if the public says this is not something that we want, the supreme court e

you hoard what kristi noem said.your new reporting on how democrats are going to fight back against this? >> well, it's interesting. talking to pro-life conservatives about this, they say, look, this is something that's going to really rally that base, but then talking to liberals and democrats, they say, look, these -- texas has essentially opened a pandora's box and that now liberal voters will very much be galvanized to come out at the polls in the 2022 midterms as well as 2021. remember, there's an off-year election in virginia, a gubernatorial race. you also have all 100 seats in the house and delegates up for grabs. see already that abortion is a major form of contention in that race. terry mcauliffe even before this entire texas decision came out was running ads, hitting his opponent glenn youngkin over abortion. you see this down the ballot, and i think you're going to see especially the democratic side really try to get them to turn out their voters and rally them to the ballot box. >> voting and getting peo

south dakota governor kristi noem has already said she plans to do just that. a related question. the ruling last night says explicitly the justices are not saying one way or the other whether texas' abortion ban is constitutional or not. the ruling says they're just letting it go into effect regardless of whether or not it is constitutional. does that mean that texas' ban is only going to stand temporarily? or should we expect it to stand for the foreseeable future? here is another very practical question. in the pre-roe era, like you saw in that news clip from "nbc nightly news" from 1973, women who could afford to, would leave their home state where abortion was outlawed and travel to a place like new york or california to get an abortion because it was legal in those states. we see that starting again already. clinics nearby to texas including in oklahoma today said as of today they're getting an influx of texas women patients. but does the vigilante bounty hunter part of this law also put that at risk? will the vigilante snitch on your neighbor, sue your neighbor over her med

i speak of north dakota governor kristi noem who said we're going to have the most strict laws in thery. is this about anti-abortion rights or politics? >> this is about politics. this is about 2024. you see these governors who all have an eye towards running for president, and this is going to get them actually into a very precarious situation i believe, yasmin. a lot of republicans are not happy with the texas law. it used to be republicans would be able to say, i'm against abortion but i believe the health of the mother, incest, rape, and that roe v. wade is the law of the land. so they kind of got a little bit of cover because that was the law and they knew they couldn't overturn it. now with this type of legislation, this is draconian. this is drastic. not only is the whole concept of putting bounties out on drivers or family members that assist women to get an abortion crazy, they only -- they do not allow for an exemption for rape or insist. if a 13-year-old girl is raped by her father, uncle or grandfather, she is forced to have that child in texas. i believe the way, you know

and in south dakota governor kristi noem today issued an executive order restricting access to abortion-inducingile, the supreme court of mexico ruled today that imposing criminal punishment for abortions is unconstitutional. the decision directly affects the state of coahuila along the texas border. today's ruling sets a national precedent. mass demonstrations unfolded across bzil today, in support of embattled president jair bolsonaro. in brasilia -- the capital -- tens of thousands turned o with flags and banners as bolsonaro helicoptered in. he blasted judges for jailing some of his key supporters on charges of supporting violence. bolsonaro has said he might reject the results if he loses his reelection bid next year. leaders of three major branches of christianity appealed for action on climate change today in their first-ever joint statement. pope francis along with the archbishop of canterbury justin welby and ecumenical patriarch bartholomew the first -- leader of orthodox christians -- came together today. they urged an upcoming u.n. climate summit to quote "listen to the cry of the ea
