protections for women in roe v. wade because that's part of who they are.n they can't beat for tax cuts people make $400,000 a year and take that money and use it ho help young people buy or rent a home. this is 75% popularity stuff. all we have to do be there and hammer it home. and like i say, three things. popular across the party, popular across the country, and the republicans can't beat -- ram it home. ram it home. >> ram it home. it's a bumper sticker there. let me ask you, because some of this is about what we've learned over the last couple of weeks and how to navigate what a republican-led congress under speaker mike johnson looks like. what -- i just went through what i learned. what did you learn from watching the speaker's vote and the last couple of weeks with elon musk and trump and everything that happened? >> i learned more in the five minutes after the vote than i ever want to know. when mike johnson is sitting in the well of the house and attribute add prayer to thomas jefferson, which is a bald faced lie, okay? a bald faced lie. so they

let's raise the minimum wage and make roe v. wade an issue and let's take back the immigration issue by making it an economic issue and force the gop to deny bipartisan reform for tallent and those that will bring business into our nation. it all sounds smart to me. even if you disagree with some parts of it. it seems like some form of offense. that is how you win. you don't win hiding in a corner. friday's speaker vote was another reminder to everybody watching that republicans control nearly everything in washington. but it was also a reminder that this is not going to be smooth sailing for them. it is going to be messy. that is why it might be perfect for them to show offense and why they should be put back in power in two years. joining me now is democratic strategist, hopefully i summarized your op-ed well there. i want to start in your piece, specific, i know you want people to pull from it what they may pull from it. one of the things that you talk about is how to oppose policies that the republicans are putting forward or put

i want to take the president of roe v. wade which kind of policy for 50 years in this country. supported the overturning of roe v. wade and said she would always be a pro-life vote in congress. the folks in the state, the women deserve a pro-choice vote in congress. that's what i will be. the difference is clear. karoline leavitt wants politicians to decide this issue for women. i what women and families and consultation with the doctors to decide this. >> that's not true. you want politicians in washington, d.c. to make those decisions and you've express your support for federal restrictions to override our state law. >> that's not true. >> i support those closest to the voters in concord, new hampshire, to make decisions not just on this issue but, frankly, on every issue. that's what got into this race to relinquish the overall power of the federal government and give it back to her state and the people. my opponent you support politicians having the right over this issue in d.c. >> that's not true at all. >> nancy pelosi is a politician. >> women and sounds in consultation w

this is the same court as you've pointed out that overturned roe v. wade.s is a court that did not equivocate specifically on this issue. they left it to standing, which frankly the lower court should have dismissed it in the first place on standing. but yes, the fda should be an independent agency. there is a chance that the administration and the folks in it will decide to let 20 plus years of medication abortions stand. i am skeptical about the court. that being said, we absolutely have to continue to build public awareness of the popularity of this medication. last year, when this case went to the court from texas all the way to the supreme court, we ran a multiplatform campaign educating american voters about the importance of medication abortion and that is exactly what we are poised do again. it does matter when the public raises awareness and conscienceness. i hope the court is watching. they have never been less popular in this country. and overturning roe was a terrible precedent to set for so many issues that trump and the gop are trying to avoid

this is the same court as you pointed out that overturned roe v. wade.t that did not equivocate specifically on this issue. they left it to standing which frankly the lower court should have in the first place on standing. but, yes. the fda should be independent agency. there is a chance the administration and the folks in it will decide to allow 20 plus years of fda approved medication to stand. i'm skeptical about the court. that said, we absolutely have to continue to build public awareness. we ran a multiplatform campaign educating american voters about the importance of medication abortion. that is what we are poised to do again. it matters when the public raises awareness and consciousness and i hope the court is watching because as you noted, they have never been less popular in this country and overturning roe was a terrible precedent to set for so many issues that trump and the gop are trying to avoid. being tagged with. >> you know, i wonder independent of this particular effort to ban medication abortion, there is also state level efforts like

then, of course, there's dobson 2022, again, 5 to 4, reversing roe v wade from 1973 and bruin also in 2020 to a 6 to 3 court opinion. that's so expanded the second amendment right that everyone its author, justice thomas refused to follow it in the rahimi last term in 2023. the court totally affirmative action in higher education which had been approved in 1978 and modified but also affirmed several times since in last few years. the court has also taken very powerful to selectively curtail the regulatory powers of the federal government. its major question doctrine in west virginia, the epa in 2022 has become a tool to invalidate regulations with major consequences if the court meaning the supreme court thinks the statute was not specific enough in authorizing that action and this term loper bright reversed the year old chevron decision allowed deference to agencies in ambiguous cases. finally, this term we have, as all will remember, the two trump cases, trumpian dawson, where unanimously the court refused to let states enforce insurrection clause of the 14th amendment, but also a v

idea of banning abortion imaginary which was enabled by the supreme court's decision overruling roe v. wadehen you have others, which i would include donald trump and this, who don't really care about abortion and are doing everything they can to run away from the issue, even though he was bragging about having a point of the justices who did overturn a woman's right to choose. so i think that they have the slender rest of majorities. and on any particular issue, huge divisions going on with their coalition. and we will do whatever we can to work with people. jim jordan is my counterpart on judiciary, we sponsored legislation together called the press act that i am very proud of and i hope he is still part of it. which protects the rates of reporters not to have compulsory production of their confidential sources and their notes and documents. that passed unanimously in the committee, passed unanimously in the house and unfortunately, after trump tweeted against it, it was held up by one or two senators in the senate. i hope we can continue to push that through in the interest of protecting

door, now we find out that the hit man was inspired by the supreme court leak about overturning roe v. wade been suicidal for a long time and when i saw the draft a made me upset, it made me want to, i don't know, i was under the delusion that i could make the world a better place by killing him. never caught but i'm sure they tried really hard. why are all these assassins and terrorists slipping through the fbi's fingertips? because of the bureau is fighting a political war instead of the real one, the is still focused on january 6 today, merrick garland called the investigation "one of the most complex and resource intensive investigations into the justice department's history ". and de mccain called it an "massive piece of the institution's work ". so massive it is distracting them from noticing bombs and assassins, with a shadow government has not learned a thing, the whining that trump should have been put in prison before the election. >> you have extensive new reporting on whether they were to be here in this context of attorney general merrick garland had charged trump earlier for h

much like what we have seen after dobbs and the fall of roe v. wade. currently, most u.s.e-sex marriage, which could become activated if the landmark ruling was reverse. it's that what if that triggered action the morning after the election by wedding photographer deedra austin. she told "the new york times" she felt helpless but decided to act by offering queer couples eloping at new york city hall through the end of 2024 a free wedding day photo shoot. writing on instagram, quote, for queer joy, for persistence, perseverance, for our lives and the lives of so many that aim before us that sacrificed so much. she extended that through the presidential inauguration on january 20th and has photographed dozens of lgbtq couples getting married before trump takes office. she is also started hearing from other vendors interested in getting involved, and she is colaunched a spreadsheet with names of colleagues in the wedding industry across the country. that spreadsheet now has the name of -- names of 167 vendors that are offering free or discounted services to lgbtq couples who

as you are well aware, the country as well aware that decision overturned roe v. wadeted federal protections for abortion rights and has returned that question to the states. what does abortion, what do abortion rights look like in south dakota in the aftermath of you and the legislature now having the ability to decide on this question? >> guest: well, in 2005 south dakota had passed a bill that put in place a trigger law that said if roe was ever overturned that abortion would be illegal in the state, except to save the life of a mother. so that is the law today, and i know that -- >> host: excuse me, what is the prohibition begin in pregnancy, and is the life of mother the only exception? >> guest: the life of the mother is the only exception today as the statute reads, and it is not any consequences against the mother where it would add any kind of punishment would be on the doctors responsibility for a doctor who had knowingly break the law, they are the ones who would be prosecuted, never the women that would be involved in the situation with an unplanned pregnan

let's start about cotifiying roe v. wade the democratic party. raise the minimum wage. we have not had that since 2009. america needs a raise. and third, and i think the most important is, let the tax cuts for incomes over $400,000 a year expire and use the money to help young people buy or rent a house. they can't beat any of that, we can, all are popular in the party and across the board. we are not going to pass gas, okay. trump was telling people we have a once in a generation opportunity. we control the white house, the house, the senate. great. and the federal courts. but we need to be limited in what we propose and it has to be really brood based and wide support. we should just ram it home. just ram it home. >> right, and what are sometimes wedge issues can be momentum if when you mention minimum wage it might be a wedge for republicans who are afraid of it but if you can get a vote on it some of them might feel pressure to vote on it and they don't want to defend being against it when they claim this was a populous

let's try codifying roe v wade that has two thirds support. it's all across the democratic party. they can't do it. let's talk about raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. that unifies the democratic party. that has over two thirds support. do that. let's talk about taxes. over 400,000. don't let those tax cuts expire. take that money and put it into a first time homebuyers relief fund or rental relief fund. they can't do that. we can't. so always right now we're an opposition party. do popular things that we like and they can't do and focus on those things. >> did biden and harris, by extension and ultimately harris, did they fail to sell exactly what james carville is preaching? here's another comment from the times. i'll read it aloud. biden's signature accomplishments investing in infrastructure, the clean energy economy, domestic manufacture of microchip processing components are all caps squarely benefiting middle class americans. did they have the cards and just not know how to play them? >> james well, i think by election time and remember, you had biden was in the race

much more hollow now because you're like, oh, like girlboss going through like the downfall of roe v wade and like, what are we doing? what's happening? you know and so yeah, i do. i don't know. i feel super optimistic about where we are right now because i worry that like like i think one of my issues with constant criticism of this is that always in this cycle of like criticizing and not really being okay, what is ethical leadership look like? what does it actually look like to be a good what does that actually look like? and crazy double standard that women leaders are held to where it's like if you're not perfect as a woman leader, then you are all of these things and it's completely fine to criticize all of that. but then is the alternative just like male bosses, like we're just like like, you know, i mean, sophia, omarosa wrote girlboss just tweeted about this and she's like in tech, it's called founder mode, right? where you're just like, oh, like, i just like i do whatever i want to do because i'm a genius. and, like, i don't need to follow any labor codes and everyone just like,

i see you overruled you realize i think they did realize you overrule roe v wade you overruled casey v baleno how many others are you going to overrule? are you going to rule case that wasn't done and written in a textualist and a textualist analysis they are going to say no, that isn't what going to do. of course they're going to say because hardly any cases written in that style certainly, not before the 21st century and so you're not you're not going to go out and say, we're going to overrule. and every case, a candidate for overruling if were to say that there would be no law left. and even if the lawyer didn't want say overrule a cases been around for a hundred years his client would hey overrule it. don't tell me i can't do this. i like doing it and go overrule you. see would be a nightmare. and they won't say that they're not going to say they want to do that. i say, all right, which cases you want to overrule are the that are egregiously wrong. oh, and how do we know if it's egregiously rock. i see you're going to tell us if it's egregious wrong but doesn't leave room for you

it has taken over 50 years since roe v. wade. we didn't get to that point overnight.re with the philosophy where men could do whatever they wanted with women. no consequence at all. and hugh hefner, the author of that philosophy said that abortion was one of the positive, in his view, results of being promiscuous. and then the magazine that said that nice girls go to heaven and bad girls go everywhere. so you had that philosophy of do your own thing in the 70's and 80's with millions without consequences of unborn babies killed. but the media never show you women who regret having had them. whoever addressed this, they always have stories or op-ed columns by women who say they are glad they had an abortion and it would have ruined their lives if they had a child but you never hear from the other side. this is going to have to be done incrementally. the presidency -- pregnancy health centers are helping women during pregnancy and after with their children and with their expenses and other things. trump could highlight them. legislatively, as of this point trump's right

do you believe that roe v wade should be upheld? do you believe that planned partner hood should be provided to -- >> i'm sorry, mrs. throne-holst, within question. >> all kind of paid into one. -- icon of made into one. >> excuse me. >> i'm pro life and my daughters were born 14 1/2 weeks early. they were less than a pound and a half when they were born. i'm so blessed, my wife and i that they were given that ability to be able to be born into this world. we have every amount of admiration and respect for the doctors through their process and nurses, power of prayer we accepted prayers in about 16 different religious, jewish and probably about 15 others and our daughters have grownen to be strong. but i got a chance to see life at 25 weeks. it is precious. now when i was in albany we had the debate about abortion the debate taking place right now in state governments and federal governments is whether or not we should be allowing partial birth late term i, about. i passionately disagree with allowing late-term partial birth abortio
