before the election, texas attorney general ken paxton filed a dozen lawsuits to make voting in texas as difficult as he could. this weekend, he told steve bannon the reason he stopped everyone in the largest county in texas from automatically being sent a mail-in ballot in the midst of a once in a century pandemic is cutting off the voter access is what preserves the state for donald trump. >> it was a concerting effort, nationally, with lots of money going into it, and just knowing that we had 12 lawsuits that we had to win, and if we had lost one of them, if we lost harris county, trump won by 620,000 votes in texas. harris county mail-in ballots that they wanted to send out with 2.5 million. we were able to stop every one of them. had we not done that, we would be in the same situation we were in on election nights. i was watching election night and i knew when i saw what was happening in the other states, that would have been texas. we would have been one of the battleground states they were counting votes in harris county for three days and donald trump would have lost the elect

ken paxton has been at the tip of the spear confronting this administration.ion? >> absolutely a proven track record of winning. during the obama days, i managed 13 million acres most of which are oil-producing, i thought the obama administration when they tried to take public and private land in north texas and one in the banks of the red river. i thought radical plans, to list under the endangered species act, the golden sheep warbler in west texas is try to shut down oil production. i've been successful in those efforts so i encourage your viewers to check my website to learn more about my vision but i would push back against the federal overreach. it has been harmful to texas values and the texas economy. maria: why haven't you signed on to the 7 lawsuits that are now in place? >> don't have standing at that office. i supporting theory those suits. what i won in the prior cases during the obama days when i have standing i jump in. i'm looking at a case where i get standing to force the federal government and deadbeat bureaucrats and dc politicians to build

ag paxton, always a pleasure to see you. thanks very much for being here.e for this administration to see the situation on the ground with their own eyes? your reaction to kamala harris going to el paso. >> well, i was in shock because people have been calling for them to come down here for the entire time that they've been in office, just to get real live interviews with people, to see what's going on on the ground, just like you did. this would be like if the president of the united states asked you to be in charge of all media for the border and it took you 93 days to get down here to see what was going on. you came down here because you knew it was valuable to see what was going on on the ground. unfortunately, that's not what happened here. and i don't really understand the answers that they've given as to why they haven't been here. maria: well, it's interesting that president trump said that he's going to the border and then as soon as he got his date set to meet with governor abbott and i assume he'll meet with you as well, once that date was in the

paxton: i agree with what everyone else has said.mportant to be open to every experience that comes your way because you never know what will be the life-changing one. in addition, i would advise you to talk to everyone who comes your way. you never again know that might lead to. in my case, talking to a cdc colleague, led to her introducing me to the adoption agency from which i adopted my daughter. then it led to jobs. so i would say be open to every experience and talk to everyone. you know, because you learn from them and never know what is going to come out of it. dr. yasmin: i did not know about the eis adoption connection. sue, what will be your inspirational advice to current incoming officers? dr. chu: this is a start, this is the start of something where you can really make a difference. and i do not know how many careers -- but when you work and start at cdc and you are connected that way, really think you are making a difference. dr. yasmin: thank you. my advice to the current and incoming officers would be, that this is

. >> and one of the things that we saw is that a g paxton is right now under investigation in texas because he filed lawsuits of unfair elections and uncertified elections in states that he doesn't belong to and we're talking about heat that pennsylvania. he tried to undo it in georgia and the list goes on. can you talk a little bit about what he's on the hook for and possibly what might be he might be the consequences for it? >> so the claim here is he filed this lawsuit in bad faith and presented misleading information as we all know, 2020 was one of the most secure elections we've ever experienced and he's claiming election fraud as the basis for his claim that let's be real when he found this claim, he took it to the supreme court, his own solicitor general would not sign off on it. and his solicitor general can read after left of office and in filing this claim we have now the state bar looking into whether or not he should be disbarred for abusing his legal license and presenting again, misleading information and bad faith and so how this could play in politics in texas is that this c

paxton gave the speech and later spoke to our chris cuomo. >> today i was going to talk about tv andia and content because it's something that's very important to me, however -- however, under light of recent events it feels wrong to talk about anything but what is currently affecting me and millions of other women in this state. six weeks. that's all women get. and so before they realize most of them don't realize that they're pregnant by six weeks. so before they have a chance to decide if they are emotionally, physically and financially stable enough to carry out a full-term pregnancy, before they have the chance to decide if they can take on the responsibility of bringing another human being into the world, that decision is made for them by a stranger. it's a problem that cannot wait and i cannot give up this platform to promote complacency and peace when there is a war on my body and a war on my rights. a war on the rights of your mothers, a war on the rights of your sisters, a war on the rights of your daughters. we cannot stay silent. >> i had recently heard about the passing

now, you'll recall that paxton also led a ridiculous lawsuit after the election to throw out over 20 million votes because he disagreed with how other states conducted their own elections. it would have of course insulted donald trump a loser over joe biden, the winner. that's the goal everyone was working towards. we're also learning more about the lengths to which the white house could overturn the election -- the lead up attack on the capitol. mark meadows repeatedly pressed to investigate conspiracy theories for the 2020 election. jeffrey rosen and the acting attorney general to examine election fraud in new mexico and an array of baseless conspiracy theories that trump had been the actual victor. that included a fantastical theory that people in italy had used military technology in satellites to remotely tamper with voting machines in the united states and switch votes for mr. trump and votes for joe biden. think about that for a second. that's the chief of staff of the united states, right? president talking to these tierney general to investigate ludicrous conspiracy theories

lake highlands high school graduate paxton smith was responding to a bill signed last month by republican governor greg aott banning all abortions about six weeks into a pregnancy. >> i have dres and hopes and ambitions. every rl graduating today does. and we have spenour enti lives working toward our future. and without our input and without our consent, our control over that future has been stripped away from us. i am terrified that if i contraceptiv fails, i am rrified that if i am raved, than my hopes d aspirations and dreams and efforts for my future will no longer matter. i hope that you can feel how gutwrenching tha is. i hope you can feel how dehumanizing it is to have the autonomy of your own body taken away from you. amy: lake highlands high school valedictorian paxton smith giving a speech after she throughout her original written speech in texas. and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the quarantine report. when we come back, we speak to emory university professor carol anderson about her new book about what the second: race and guns fat

paxton: yes, certainly dead. -- it certainly did.into eis assuming i was going to do one thing. it did involve international health. t never -- i had just come out of, i had done my training at san francisco. i started in 1982 at the start of the hiv epidemic. i left there in 1992 to come to cdc. -- to come to eis. so i had hiv on the brain all the time and said i'm not quick to work in hiv ever again. i have had 10 years of it and want to do something different. so what happened? i did two years of something different in malaria, and then went promptly into hiv until 2012. [laughter] that was a little bit different for me. i also want to emphasize, because of all of the opportunities available at cdc, partly through eis and partly through working at cdc, even after i finally retired in 2018, and embarked on my marvelous two years of travel and all of those scuba diving and those things i wanted to do. when covid hit and i got asked by another eis alum, dr. kathleen to me, -- toomey, to take this position, i thought, i cannot do that

. >> yeah, i think there were a total of 17 cosigned with king paxton. he's a texas attorney general but he led the suit. back in december and you might remember that the suit got dismissed after three days in a ruling that was i think two or three sentences long in the supreme court. and you can't bring this but paxton let it and then you have a number of members of the house republicans that signed on to and steve scalise is one of them and so all three of them signed on to this suit brought up. but you're right there is been a lot of news over the past year that sort of aligning itself with further and further to the right with those type types of politics. they were pretty involved in the efforts to challenge the election results. >> well this was great reporting. boeing, a few thought that no one would notice, we did. roger did and he rode it up so there you go we know that the company stands for. thank you roger i appreciate it. >> thanks chris. >> donald trump's doj was apparently very busy issuing secret subpoenas trying to collect phone and data

paxton smith is with me now. this certainly did take guts.n't like to share political or controversial opinions. why did you decide to talk about this? >> i felt like reproductive rights were so important and right now they are currently under attack from so many different states with passing of legislation that is restricting abortions all over this -- over the country, and i felt like it was crucial that i used my platform to reach people who were neutral about the topic or didn't agree with me on the topic to spread the message this was not okay. >> did anybody know this was going to happen, and i note organizers and administrators didn't, but did you tell your family or friends? >> i only told my parents. >> what did they tell you? >> at first they were a little apprehensive, and it's a very controversial topic and it's scary to put your face on that topic, but they were supportive after about a day. >> took them a day to be supportive. okay. >> yes. >> so i watched the entire section of the graduation ceremony. you talked for about two a

ken paxton said they were waiting for more ballots to come in and the mail-in ballots were a major problemrite about? mollie: actually what's interesting is a lot of reports of things stopped and in some cases publicly announced they were stopping the counting of ballots but they weren't stopping counting ballots which is a great concern because you want people are able to observe. that's what happened in atlanta when the media and observers were told that they were done before the night and they weren't done for the night and they kept counting. the whole problem with absentee voting we don't know how many ballots are out there. this is a big concern for people who care about election fraud because you need to be able to trust elections to have a republic and if you can't trust elections that's a threat to the republic. maria: that's absolutely right. mollie, thank you so much, that's the reason men and women go lose their lives overseas, mollie hemingway, we look forward to the book. i will talk tomorrow to secretary pompeo. see you tomorrow on mornings with maria. ♪ sgt. houston never e

look who's back with us, ken paxton. she went to el paso where the order will worked?glad she came, maybe she talks to people group maybe informed her what's going on bur el paso does have a pretty good fence that has worked. the price she could have gone was the rate of, i wish she went someplace where the actual immigrants are crossing in greater numbers speech of the vice president is he saying she went there because that's where the trump administration launched bad policies on the border like remain in mexico. is that true? >> i don't know her motivation, is on to me it took her so long to get back they basically have undone everything president trump had done to stop the crisis we had under obama and now we are back to something even worse than four years ago. elizabeth: kamala harris was accused of dodging questions today and she kind of snapped back at a reporter which was asked why it took so long. but watch kamala harris here. >> how you respond to republican's who safe you should have gone to the border where they are experiencing more problems? >> first of

her name is paxton smith, and she was valedictorian of her class in the dallas suburbed.stead, she pulled a switcharoo, and spoke about a new anti-abortion law in texas which is the most severe in the united states. >> recently, the heartbeat bill was passed in texas. starting in september, there will be a ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy regardless of whether the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest. six weeks. that's all women get. so before they realize most of them don't realize they're pregnant by six weeks. before they have a chance to decide if they are emotionally, physically, and financially stable enough to carry out a full-term pregnancy, and before they decide if they can take on the responsibility of bringing into human being into the world, that decision is made by a stranger. it will affect the rest of their lives. i have dreams and hopes and ambitions, every girl graduating today does. and we have spent our entire lives working towards our future. and without our input and consent, our control over that future has been stripped away from

paxton could be cleared or face penalties including suspension or disbarment. we are talking about democracy and big problems but if it becomes a professional liability, if you can no longer do the thing you went to school for for pushing the big lie it seems to fall into lawsuits using the remedys that are available to hold bad actors accountable. >> i think that any of the remedies need to be employed. in that particular case i am less disturbed by the fact that the texas attorney general filed the lawsuit than the republican congressmen signed on because that is signing on to a completely obviously bogus lawsuit designed to overturn the election but it's time for reality check here. hr 1 is dead. joe manchin and kirsten sinema who are not the only democrats taking this position and time for the leadership to get very serious about passing something. i guess i'm into one basket of one piece of legislation that's too big and i don't think designed to pass the senate but the need to pass something is urgent for the reasons you have been describing. one of the t

. >> harris: i want to get to cuellar and paxton. >> the federal government is doing nothing about thislding the wall, and that makes their job more doable. i applaud governor abbott for trying to to find creative ways. and kamala harris knows it's bad. what happens if we don't hold the territory down there? >> anybody who has an understanding of actual border security and spent time down there and spoken to border patrol agents, but of course the democrats can never admit this. they dug very deep into the well of, this is a donald trump issue. and in sort of defund the police, maybe the dumbest slogan they've had in living memory, they won't back away from it easily. and that said, walk, is doing other things. >> can we talk about the media fawning over the vice president? they literally praised the cheese puffs as tenderly placed in a basket. the situation at the border, these are two governors that ask for a call to arms by every other governor in the country to address and manage a crisis that was created by the federal government. this is preposterous. >> harris: and it's being ans

tettorney general ken paxton is here with us. good afternoon to you, sir.just listened to. it is amazing. the smugglers know they're in a power position. they're totally taking advantage of it. that has happened since day one of this administration. >> you can't really make this stuff up. you wouldn't think it could possibly happen. bill was there on the border. he saw it happen. it happens every day and hapns all along our border. thousands of people coming across. there is no consequences there is no protection for the people along the border. even these migrants are putting all of their trust in the cartels. that is the last place we want them putting their trust. we need a system that works, that protects everybody. does not take care of the cartels. jackie: there was two billion dollars to finish the wall that is now since been reallocated by the administration. that is why texas governor is saying look, we're a border state. we have to do this ourselves. >> well, i love what the governor is doing. i've seen the wall that president trump was working on

voted against them after the mob and stormed the capital and of course texas attorney general ken paxton, who filed a case in the supreme court to block certification of the electoral results in other states. not because the italians were switching votes via satellite right? this became a republican tax across the board, taking the cringe-inducing insanity of president trump's conspiracy mongering and then trying to turn it to some kind of plausible constitutional theory they could use. oh, the states changed their voting laws too late and the constitution says that the state supreme court can't do that, that's why we're objecting not the satellite theory. again though, the aim was the same all oars were rowing in the same direction right? across the spectrum, overturn a democratic election and spell the end of the american experiment as we know it. that i mean that's it. put the loser in power over the winner in contravention of the popular will. that's a coup! they were trying to drive a stake through the heart of this country. they just missed barely. they're going to try again. all o

this election in 2022 for attorney general running against the current attorney general paxton.ns deserve to have a choice. in 1976 reagan ran against an incumbent president because he felt conservatives should have a choice and in texas they should have that choice as well. >> thank you very much. i will see you again. george p. bush. i am tammy bruce. tucker carlson is next. >> ♪ ♪ >> tucker: welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." it's wednesday when they called hump day. you think you have had a stressful week. imagine being kamala harris. take your first big trip south of the border to a developing world. you are excited because you know as a licensed person of color all of the other people of color you are going it meet will be thrilled to see you. that's how it works in the people of color communities. they have so much in common getting a

that brief was virtually identical to the insane lawsuit filed by texas attorney general ken paxton that was rejected by the supreme court already. active attorney general rosen refused that particular piece of insanity and all of the insanity which would've been thrown out by the supreme court even if the justice department did file. emails also revealed that donald trump's chief of staff, mark meadows, -- on at least five occasions to pursue what one of them called pure insanity. in one email, mark meadows sent jeffrey rosen iq to video length about an italian contractor using satellites to interfere with u.s. voting machines. jeffrey rosen, forwarded the email to acting deputy attorney general richard donahue who responded, quote, pure insanity. jeffrey rosen then replied that he refused to arrange a meeting between the fbi and ally brad johnson. writing, quote i know that johnson is working with giuliani who regretted my comments as an insult asked if i would reconsider. i flatly refused and said i would not be giving any special treatment to giuliani or any of his witnesses and reaf
