that evening i made a prediction overturning roe v. wadeould be the opening shot in a full on assault state-by-state on reproductive freedom and that's exactly what has happened. roe was indeed overturned and in states across the nation they have imposed laws to criminalize doctors and punish women. lawsni threat happening doctors and nurses prison time even for lifer for providing reproductive care. laws that make no exception for rape and insist. increst. trying to revive laws from the 1800s and understand as amanda said who is to blame. former president trump did this. donald trump hand-picked three members of the united states supreme court because he intended for them to overturn roe. as he intended, they did. many of you may recall i have severed on the judiciary committee as a united states senator. i questioned two of those nominees. one of them i asked, i'm going to quote myself. [ laughter ] can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body. you probably remember he had no good answ

registered voters who's responsible for overturning roe v. wade, trump 56, biden 17%. even among democrats, 12% of democrats, mark, believe biden is responsible for overturning roe v. wade. is that just people not understanding, people blaming biden for when the dobbs draft was initially leaked the white house was a little bit slow to respond? that seems like excuse making actually. how do you understand that? >> yeah, it certainly indicates at base that the biden campaign has a lot of work to do here. i mean aborlgz has seemed to be -- has been the issue that has absolutely gotten democrats over the finish line over the last year and a half. and the fact that biden whose record to most abortion voters, people on abortion is much better i mean seems to be losing on this front, you know, is a red flashing light right here. the other thing is democracy is an issue that hadn't polled -- i don't think we know how these issues are polling. one thing we have seen over the last year and a half is these issues are not sort of clear to voters, and we're not sure how it's going t

they also blamed trump for roe v. wade being overturned, as he appointed the spring court justices who took away that federal light right. >> when he was in office, the people that he chose to give positions to and elect to the proceeding supreme court overturned roe v. wade.>> it should be a woman's choice, the government shouldn't be voicing what we can do with our own bodies. some of those comments, as the issue of abortion remains top of mind. we saw florida's new six week ban on abortions go into effect, that is going to have sweeping consequences across the southeast. we saw arizona lawmakers repeal an 1864 near total abortion ban. voters have views on these issues could help resident biden's bid to be re-elected. seven out of 16 said they would vote for biden, only three said they would vote for former president donald trump, six said that they would stay home, so that tells us there is a lot of work to be done by both candidates in this race. alex?>> thank you for that report. we are learning about what happened at

they are overturning roe v. wade. they are gutting the voting rights act to t such a point it barely effective, and this didn't happen byff chance. basically the conservative movement has made the courts their test case for minority rule because they know that the court at least in their hopes will be ipsulated from political accountability. and certainly the way the justices are acting they feel they are. >> this week of all weeks, dahlia, when we find justice alito has flags bearing the hallmark of the insurrection movementth flying above one of s homes, here he is again going against the will of the people and the democratic process to undermine votingcr rights. what is yourng reaction to the decision today? >> yeah, i mean i think your point is the right one, alish, which is these are both stories of minority rule and complete lack of accountability, and i really want to make one more pitch to folks who are listening that these are the same story, that we tend to sort of talk about alito malfeasance, weird behavio

he brags about getting roe v. wade overturned. mcconnell and i are going to keep fighting to restore roe v. wade as the law of the land again. my predecessor labels our country of revenge and retribution. i believe we're a nation of hope and opportunity for everybody. we're a country of honesty, decency, faith, fairness. that's the future we're building together. >> that's president joe biden last night drawing a slew of clear contrasts between himself and donald trump. it comes amid new polling that shows a substantial bump for the president if his predecessor is convicted in the ongoing hush money case. and speaking of that trial, the former president is turning it into a de facto campaign event with a whole bunch of his allies in court with him yesterday. we'll show you who was there and recap the second day of testimony from his former fixer, michael cohen. >>> plus, we'll go through the latest effort from the biden administration to persuade the israeli government against a wider military operation in southern gaza. >>> good m
