into the united states. and as we discussed a couple of weeks ago the secretary of state even expunged the nazi records of people like werner von brown and some of his fellow nazi scientists so that they could work in us intelligence. and verna von braun and his fellow his team of scientists played a key role in the development of the us space program. but refugees also informed our political life. think of henry kissinger madeleine albright the german political theorist hannah arendt they have played a key role but there are others they've played a cube role in shaping our political life. they've shaped our cultural life think of the actress, marlena dietrich. the hungarian composer bella bartok the austrian composer arnold stormberg and the russian french painter mark sagal but there are many many other refugees that we could highlight refugees have always played an important role in the political economic and cultural life of our nation. but public opinion polls tell us that americans were very concerned

dying states. it's really hard to get someone to completely forfeit their culture, because it is part of their identity. so as long as they live, the culture lives. >> yes. i think this is really powerful. they are often vessels of their culture. they are leaving desperate situations where they would have otherwise died physically and perhaps also their community would have died, their culture would have died. so this idea of people leaving dying states, in circumstances of profound dislocation, in trauma, it's really powerful. i think that language of zombies is really powerful because it reminds us of the desperation, the violence, the fear that people leave, that pushes people to migrate. and i think that it's important for us to remember that this violence, that this suffering, that this persecution, that this upheaval, that forced them to migrate, doesn't just end there but continues to shape their lives in years to come. he calls attention to the two most important aspects of refugees and wha

of states. it wouldn't work in any other city. it's kind of a model of a metropolis in the area and the concern is kind of self-serving we if you put the cap on new orleans and we know cities are full of bribery and other things and so it's the gumbo in turkey. it's a speech that somebody gives regarding having the capitol in new orleans and all these applications going on and had anybody been bribed with a plate of gumbo here? they were ways to tease out the things we have been talking about i ran across. also in making it a legitimate point that americans in every state and that debating. >> baton rouge is has decided upon the capital and baton rouge remains the capitol of louisiana. the next topic i want to bring up is the constitutional crisis and that is really rising in the early 19th century but then with the secession of the southern states and the establishment of the confederacy based on a brand-new forum, this debate over the future of in the united states and what we have on display

all these states. and arizona with in audit they'd be first and then all the other states where it looked like he lost they ended up fessing up too after arizona collapsed and all the states would end up admitting he really won. watch arizona will go first. we reported here on the show last night that i had seen that our staff had obtained and seen the draft version of the arizona audit report. ahead of the formal release today. and because those results were going to be formally released today we decided not to put those purported results from the draft on television. after all a draft report is something that might be revised bikinisly before the final results came out. we decided given that nobody believes what's going to be in the report anyway we will wait to see what they finally release. i did tell you last night that what we were seeing in the draft report showed the results of the arizona audit were hilarious. well today we got the final report. released it to the public. and indeed, in fact,

in that state.e of running elections, they are in charge of how [inaudible] its important also to remember in a presidential election, it's basically the totals from each county and each state that are then tallied up and sent to the secretary of state. so if the secretary of state can past doubts on the very total in the individual counties, or the entire state, they have an enormous amount of power to delay the certification of an election result or even potentially overturn that result. >> given those powers, it seems like it would be, not just disqualifying, it would be a scandal in normal terms, for somebody to be competing for one of those drops to say that they do not believe in the integrity of their states electoral process, they believe that previous elections were falsely decided. that they should be investigated or overthrown it seems like the sort of thing that would be, either you want to keep quiet or you expect to cause a huge furor if you opened up about them. but it seems like in t

state of palestine. before the 67th general assembly in confronting the challenges that we are facing in the world and in the state of palestine. thank you. >> in the name of god the compassionate, your excellency, president of the united nations general assembly, your excellency, secretary-general of the united nations, excellencies , members of delegations, ladies and gentlemen. may the peace and mercy of god be upon you. this year marks the 73rd anniversary of the -- more than half of the palestinian people were uprooted from their land and disposed of their property. myself, my family and many others still possess the deeds to our land. these deeds are registered as part of the united nations records. here is that deed and many palestinians carry there's -- carry theirs as they still carry the keys to their houses to this day. nevertheless, we have not been able to recover our property due to israeli laws disregard international law and united nations resolutions which affirm the right of the palesti

it is quite clear, and it's notjust in your state, but other republican states, that you guys at therepublican. yeah, that's a good sound bite, but let's be clear, it was one county, harris county only. let's talk about drive—thru voting. we got a testimony in drive—thru voting when they got the numbers done. they had more votes than they had voters. and the county administrator in harris county said, "we're going to stop this before we get to election day because we're concerned the votes may not count." as far as 24—hour voting, we scoured the country and tried to find anyone who had done 24—hour voting. you know who had done it? los angeles, california, did 24—hour voting... audio distortion. ..and then they stopped it for the general election. i haven't heard you accuse them of voter suppression. this bill, what's in the bill makes it easier to vote and harder to cheat, and that's what it does. i'm disappointed folks want to talk about other states and national movements, but this texas bill makes it easier to vote. read the bill. it's very clear. just strikes me, senator hughes,

after state. president bush stood up for consumers on this point. last year the occ issued the true lender rule, overruling rulers of both parties and giving a free pass to these abusive rent a bank schemes. the rule was rushed through through the acting controller who cut his teeth on helping banks ruthlessly foreclose on homeowners. the occ and mr. brooks argued the true lehner rule is necessary so that the agency has the necessary authority to oversee banks' relationships with pay day lenders. but that's just not true. the occ didn't lack any authority when it cracked down on rent a bank schemes in the early 2000s. the occ also attempted to justify its of the by claiming that it promotes innovation and provides certainty to the markets. the only certainty we need is the certainty that workers and their families will be protected from these exploitive interest rates. the last thing we should be doing is encouraging lenders to, in their words, innovate. we know that just means new ways to get awa

every red state is being impacted and blue states don't care. say a revolution has begun, they are allowing this year probably 2 million, that is we apprehended maybe another million into this country. at least in 18 years even if they don't become citizens before then, in 18 years if every of them have 2 or 3 children you are talking millions and millions and millions of new voters, they will thank the democrats and president biden for bringing them here and vote for them. this is trying to take over our country without firing a shot and if you look at - >> is your concern a political concern, national security concern, economics concern, health concern, crime and safety concern, is it all of that? or are you going right to the political? some people said this is all political for dan patrick. what do you think? >> what the constitution says in article 4 section 4 guarantees every state a republican form of government. what is a republican form of government? it is designed or defined as a government that focuses on citizens running their gover

each state is unique. and what has happened to soviet union will not necessarily happen to be united states. even though if it will happen to the united states. it's not necessarily happened the same way as it has happened before the union. the united states of america is a nuclear superpower. and do we can, before they add the consequences of the internal american changes and internal contradictions. i'm not going to represent their immortal chinese for the rest of humanity. now i agree with you that day. each historic path has any, but i still think that historic parallels could be valuable because it was the collapse with the soviet union in 1991 which ultimately served the united states. the unprecedented opportunity of trying to be exceptional nation, not just an exceptional nation, but the exceptional nation, the shining city on the hill. can we blame them for not leaving up to these godly, divine image. when we, the russians gave up on our cells so desperately at that time. well, i mean we cannot bl

but not in the whole state. only in the states for largest counties.ies. three of which were run by president biden. this despite the fact that the republican appointed secretary of state who oversaw the 2020 election had previously said it was smooth and secure. now trump wants it reviewed anyway and so, sir, yes sir. exactly who ordered the election audits of these for texas counties does remain something of a mystery. the texas secretary of state's office had technically been vacant since me. the noose was announced in the two sentence press release from the secretary of state's office. does the office decide? what part of the office? the largest county in the state of texas is harris county, it's home to houston. that county elections administrator tool that houston chronicle she was surprised by the announcement. saying she had spoken with staff from the secretary of state's office just hours earlier and nobody mentioned anything about this. nevertheless, today, the chief executive of harris county just lina hidalgo had this response to the. news

after state. the last republican legislation stood up for consumers. last year, the occ issued the true lender rule, overruling voters of both parties and giving a free pass to these abusive rent a bank schemes. the rule was rushed through by the active concontroller who cut -- comptroller who cut his teeth helping banks ruthlessly foreclose on homeowners and a deputy comptroller with deep ties to the payday lobby. republicans have selected the two of them to be witnesses at today's hearings. the occ and mr. brooks have argued the true lender rule is necessary so the agency has the necessary authority to oversee banks' relationships with lenders but the occ didn't lack any authority when it cracked down in the early 2000s. the occ also attempted to justify its efforts by claiming that it promotes innovation and provides certainty to the markets. the only certainty we need is the certainty that workers and their families will be protected from these exploitive interest rates. the last thing we shou

state. "the daily beast" is reporting that prosecutor has interviewed at least four officials in georgia's secretary of state's office. investigators have shown a particular interest not just in the phone call from trump but also in a similar earlier call from republican u.s. senator lindsey graham. georgia's republican secretary of state has said senator graham called and told him he should use his power as secretary of state to throw out a number of absentee ballots in georgia in order to hand the electoral votes to trump. they are correlating with the investigation committee that is investigating the january 6 insurrection in the capitol, adding that any documents that turn up in that investigation could be useful to their state prosecution back home in georgia. that potential criminal prosecution against donald trump and his allies moving forward in georgia, there are developments now in the new york state of investigation into the former president's business. it was two months ago when

do you see a wide variety of states in the way they handle the -- the way states handle this? do you go into, in the book, where the successes and failures have been in the states? >> oh, larry, thank you so much for the question. great job at the acu. i appreciate what you do. we all think that there are 23 right to work states. most being indiana. well, there are. what is a right to work state really mean? does it mean you're free to petition government? you're free to sell your own labor? no. there's only seven states that you're not forced under collective bargaining. there are 23 states where you don't have to pay. but in the differential, in terms of union membership between the seven states and the other 16 states that are right to work states, but you can be forced under collective bargaining, there's 60% more union members per capita. so it's not just a matter of right to work. it's a matter of being forced into collective bargaining. which that means you don't have the right to petition your employer. you don't have the right to sell your own labor freely. there are

, the various states drew griffin said 18 states, 31 different laws passed around the country, theseossible for state legislators to overturn the correct results of a future election and that's where the real threat is. >> and we've talked about that, david. that is your big concern when you look at these laws across the country and these states. it's the fact that politicians can then step in, have the power to step in and potentially and in worst casscenario overturn a valid result and you have election workers receiving death threats. they are receiving -- i mean, you have this lady in milwaukee drew talked to that has been threatened more than 150 times just doing her job. the same situation in morocco pa county, arizona. they get threats every day. there was this study survey that found one of third of election officials feel unsafe because of their job. your nonprofit launched a fund to help election workers. tell us about this. >> you see things like the recent texas law that allows partisan hyper partisan poll watchers to roam anywhere in the polling place and interfere with

state is unequivocal. i continue to believe that a two-state solution is the best way to ensure israel's future as a jewish democratic state, living in peace alongside of viable sovereign and democratic palestinian state. we are a long way from that goal at this moment. but we must never allow ourselves to give up on the possibility of progress. we cannot give up on solving raging civil conflicts, including in ethiopia and yemen. we are fighting between warring parties is driving famine, horrific violence, human rights violations against civilians, including unconscionable use of rape as a weapon of war. we'll continue to work with international community to press for peace and bring an end to this suffering. as we pursue diplomacy across the board, the united states will champion the democratic values that go to the very heart of who we are as a nation and people. freedom, equality, opportunity, and a belief in the universal rights of all people. it's stamped into our d.n.a. as a nation, and critically it

just remember talking about states that used to pay from the state conference for people of color too to school somewhere else and then they reinforce that to pay a stipend to get that law degree that you want. >> i have to say we actually have the quotation of the martin luther king quotation about the greatest injustices being lack of access to healthcare so when people come in including staff, they will remind us that now why of our work in the connection and the broader fight. you have to leave at 10:30 a.m. i want to make sure that we are getting some questions from our audience. so first from politico says that she's asking if you are hearing of pressure to cut back on the top line number of the reconciliation bill comes down would you be open to a later start date or other changes to trim the cost? >> yes. i am open to anything. i believe we have to take into consideration the whole welfare retirement. a lot of things of the civil rights act in 1964 we get the civil rights act in the civil rights act did talk about discrimination in employment of the private sector not until 1

this is an industry the united states, states needs wars to fight. and if it doesn't have wars, then the people that are working for these enormous security contracting companies are not making the millions and billions that they count on and they over to their shareholders. and so they need a new conflict, and that's why this war on terror might leave afghanistan, although we still know there are people operating there, but it's going other places. it is so rare, i guess when we're doing a show where we are asking you to analyze an issue, a situation for everybody to pretty much come the end of it and just say, well, that was a disaster. it's very rare to have that that, that agreement. i want to bring in another voice. this is mr. far. i'm was just thought if he, if he was looking for silver lining, i think he may kind of have a just a little bit. i don't know. listen, the legacy of the global war on terror has complicated and ultimately made for a much more decentralized extremist landscape. we are no longer living in the same world that we were l

against the state of texas, including against the state's officers, employees, and agents, and private parties it has effectively deputized who would bring suit under sp-8. the department of justice has a duty to defend the constitution of the united states and to uphold the rule of. today, we fulfill that duty by filing the lawsuit i have just described. before i take some questions, i want to say a few words to the american people on the people of the 20th anniversary of the attacks of september 11, 2001. that day is seared into all of our memories. nothing we can do or say can replace the loss so many endured that day. nothing can change the profound way the events of september 11 altered us, individually and collectively as a nation. and let there be no doubt, the threat from foreign terrorists, like those involved in the september 11 attack, is one we must constantly guard against. but what we can do and what we have done is learn from the past to better anticipate and prepare for the next threat and to seek to disrupt it. as we mark this anniversary, we rededicate ourselves at th

the united states do not have their own state. and i think this is a particular issue that is sort of, you know, and to think that's what kim tallbear is talking about just kind of reduced color, color lines. that is in a very productive for actually bringing about change, even though i think african-americans try constantly to make the point, you know, but that's too much to handle for a lot of people, is to deal with that historical reality. the united states being as it is, the corporation, that people tend to incorporate themselves rather than even call it communities, but sometimes they are pretty artificial. i'm not sure that's a root problem but a manifestation of deeper issues we have to deal with. >> i think with time maybe for one more. logan comments, it seems that the myth of all end quote nation of immigrants is primarily about quote becoming white. as you also mentioned. how do people of color eventually become included, or not, in the myth? the arc particularly thinking about how some of that culture list approaches

in the 14th amendment, section 4 states, the validity of the public debt of the united states, authorized by law, shall not be questioned. this is not about future spending. some would like to give the impression, we're just doing this -- no, this is about paying bills already incurred, including the social security recipients, again, veterans, millions who have benefited from the bipartisan covid relief legislation passed last december. as i said before, congress is ironclad in its commitment to never letting the full faith of the credit of the united states come under threat, a commitment that has long been bipartisan. indeed, our approach in the c.r. for the debt limit is modeled after legislation proposed by g.o.p. senators in recent years. since 2011, each of the seven times the debt limit has been needed to be addressed, congress has done so on a bipartisan basis, including three times during the trump administration, when the dut -- during the -- when it rose by $7.8 trillion. again, much of that incurred in terms of the full -- honoring our commitment with covid. a very big chunk

of america must state it support for the state of israel.srael has gone through a tumultuous history. the united states has stood with israel. we will stand with israel today on this important bill. we will fund the iron dome and we will always protect the israeli people from terrorism wherever it comes from. i reserve. >> he reserves. incidental lady from connecticut -- the gentlelady from connecticut? >> gentlelady from new york is recognized for one minute. >> i support the iron dome. it is a purely defensive system. one that has saved countless innocent lives. his whole purpose is to save lives and pursue please. i strongly support israel's right to defend herself. it is our closest ally in the middle east, it has been under attack by terrorist organizations like hamas and hezbollah that denies its right to exist. the iron dome is crucial to protecting the lives against these terrorist attacks who continue to fire thousands of rockets into israel. i am proud of the work that israel and the united states did together. to develop this succ

which united states is, it's a state made for war and it makes sense not only endless war so we talk about now but there's no been a day in u.s. history without war. never a day, no one has been able to show me that day if there was one. but most of those were in the 19th century were against native americans and mexicans. and they don't count, you know, apparently. >> part of your book and obviously deals with the question of mexico and the whole status but especially about the border, right, which for me anything for a lot of people has always been a zone of in one sense of conflict but then in another sense well, migration north and south and south and north have been part of the human dna on this hemisphere since there's been humans, right? i know you have your own sort of insight and perspective on the question of the board of a tell us about what you're thinking that in the book regarding that. >> well, i might take this opportunity is if it's okay d an excerpt from that chapter. it's chapter eight, the border. it's just a short bit that sort of may be sets the stage for discus

you said we have other tools, but i remember when secretary of state, then secretary of state, hillary clinton was in her position. she launched something called the q d d r. the quadrennial development and diplomatic review to sort of look at how america does it's diplomacy, how it does and engages in development. and one of the big bottom line findings of that report is that not enough resources, we're going into the tools of diplomacy and the tools of development and many of those resources warehouse and responsibilities warehouse and the pentagon. and even then secretary of defense, robert gates said stop it, we need to give those resources to the state department. and so i want to ask this question about the militarization of everything the militarization of our, of our engagement abroad, the militarization of, of development. i remember when, when david portrays, were talk about his captains that were deployed in afghanistan, how they were essentially becoming the de facto mayors of towns and villages throughout afghanistan. and it just seemed to me something that was odd. and we

and protect the people when the states fail to do so. host: you make a very convincing case of the dangers of states rates. that is the story that we miss that is so narrowly drawn it could be applied in every idea of different ways when a group is designated as a dangerous minority. and the governor of missouri claims the mormons are a danger to the state and to the nation and all of that extreme language calling them traders and a danger opens the door for that abuse. that follows up with the next question because part of the reason they are in abused minority and very much threatened is that your book shows repeatedly the way violent mobs rather than being an anomaly are seen as a democratic practice. this alone should be very troubling to your leaders and it reminds us with mobs today that we have to take this seriously. in fact in 1923 a highly regarded jurist wrote in his book criminal justice in america that americans were prone to write their own laws organize vigilante committees and exert offhand extralegal pressures surf we th

the state is setting appoints of distribution across the state in the hardest hit communities and we pre-position food and water in our staging area ahead of the storm we are now pushing that to the states point of distribution as they identify where they need it most. >> scott? >> what is the process for getting benefits to people in the area? >> we are fortunate to have gail with the american red cross today and i will give her the opportunity to answer the question. >> right now, we are all about getting people sheltered. that's better, we all about getting people in shelters and also fanning out into the community to do damage assessment. we have about 75 feeding trucks that we are sending into all the impacted areas from hurricane ida. we will be able to get up to 20,000 meals per day. in addition, we are providing supplies like cleanup kits and bleach and mops and things you need to have your home. -- you need to muck out your home. we love to provide financial assistance as well step that will be dependent upon whether we get the right number of donations. >> how do they get i

how do we make sure that every citizen has accessible or one state after state after state 18 laws andgned to prevent targeted groups from being able to vote. how do we do that? well maybe it's a carve out from the filibuster similar to these previous carve out. and maybe it's restoring the filibuster to one that creates a balance. and by balance, what i mean is something like the talking filibuster. which says that there were no majority, the minority will have time to pursue amendments, make sure the public will see the, bill that they'll see the bill. that they'll see compromises. but there also will be the tyranny of the minority that we have right now. with the minority exercises a veto. that is a profound corruption of the democratic process that has to end. >> so the sequence seems to be senate schumer is already saying he's scheduling this bill to come up for vote in the senate as early as next week. you could possibly be at the end of this week or possibly next. week but it seems that if that fails, if that fails to get the 60 votes, if joe manchin fails to get ten republicans

more states are going to do this. the person who would want to talk to whoever they decide to talk to, who they trust, and is their own personal decision. it's not the decision of any politician or any individual who's going to determine or try to determine to allow or not allow a person to have an abortion. >> congresswoman, i want to read what you write today in an op-ed in "the hill" with congresswoman diana degette. with this vote, the house will take a critical step. the majority of voters say in poll after poll that abortion should be legal and that roe should be the law of the land. whpa, the women's health protection act, is that law and with the looming specter of texas sb-8, the time to pass it is now. this point about public opinion extends to republicans. the majority of republicans would like to see roe remain the law of the land. i wonder why it is sort of accepted in today's coverage that the bill's failure in the senate is a foregone conclusion. >> i'm not sure why that is the case, because we know it'

that state.o they're in charge of running elections, and they're in charge of how votes are tallied. it's important also to remember that in a presidential election, it's basically the totals from each county and each state that are then tallied up and sent to the secretary of state certification. so if the secretary of state can maybe cast doubt on the vote total in an individual county or the entire state vote total, they have potentially an enormous amount of power to delay the certification of an election results or even potentially overturn that result. >> given those powers, it seems like it would be not just disqualifying. it would be a scandal in normal terms for somebody competing for one of those jobs to say that they do not believe in the integrity of their state's electoral process. they believe that previous elections were falsely decided, that they should be investigated or overthrown. the results should be thrown out. it seems like the sort of thing that would be either you'd want

. >> anywhere in the state.ou can make it as hard as possible. do it in the rio grande valley. and texas is an enormous state, large in population, large in land mass. so, you know, right now the clinics are doing what they can, complying with the law, seeing only those, you know, 10% of patients who do terminate that early. but meanwhile this fight is not over. you know, we're waiting for the supreme court. you know, this is -- >> that's the key, nancy, you're waiting. you don't have to be waiting. they could have ruled already. and the omission, you know, the inaction i think speaks volumes here especially with this mississippi case coming up that wants to move it to 15 weeks, but both of them are simple principles about where they want to see viability. we know the lineage of the case law here. the question is this going to change again? on the human level what is this like for you? you know, this is your life, this helping women like this and what happens when they don't get help from you? >> i mean, it's be

you can travel to the states.his is really for all those people wanting to visit friends and family but also it has been a benefit of a transit lead. the fact that americans can travel to europe now and get back on a plane and get back to the united states and no quarantine, it felt a little bit unfair and fairly logical. anna, thank you so much for uni joining us. >>> idaho is coping for a rapidly covid crisis. the state is putting pressure on hospital and neighboring washington state and health officials say vaccine misinformation is largely to blame. cnn's dan simon broke to the brother of a nurse who died of covid after refusing to get vaccinated. >> he works as a truck driver. >> reporter: their mother died last week from covid-19. >> that is they were giving her the sedation, her heart just let go. >> reporter: natalie was only 46. tell me what she did for a living? >> registered nourse and she di home healthcare. she went around and helped people. >> reporter: which made her firm vaccination stance more p p

you see this being repeated in state after state with the package of these bills in state after statee refrain from republicans that you heard is that these new voting laws make it quote easy to vote but hard to cheat. what impact do you think these laws that are now in place in places like georgia will have on voters, particularly voters of color? >> they will have a disproportionately negative impact on people of color. people need to understand they want to make it more difficult for people that are not like minded voters. so if you live in the suburbs, if you are a young person, you're targeted, as well. they're coming from your vote, as well. you know, the measures that they have put in place are nakedly partisan. you know, they talk about not allowing people in texas for instance to vote on the 24-hour basis when it was done in the past election without any indication of fraud. they want to make it more difficult to use mail to cast vote and drop off your vote at the ballot boxes. all of these are decybesigned t keep people away from the polls and make it more difficult for peop

to another state like new york. this new york clinic, for example, reports that 48% of its patients are from out of the state. >> from the beginning, pro-abortionist forces have seen this issue as a question of freedom of an individual's choice. the freedom to have an abortion is now legal in every state. the basic legal fight is in effect over. >> basic fight is, in effect, over. well, it was over. it was over. from then, 1973, until yesterday. it's amazing to see though. that is nbc reporter betty rollin, almost having her front page top of the broadcast story kicked entirely out of "nightly news" because the day that roe vs. wade was decided was also a day that included the shocking death of former president lyndon johnson at age 64 and also maybe the end of the vietnam war with the paris peace talks and also day three of a new presidency and also everything else. i mean, the news gods sometimes do this. i can empathize because now 48 years down the road we get the other book end on that shelf. right? now we get

or the united states and russia. where our committee could not conduct oversight that is so important as you have pointed out, working with the executive branch in the check and balance for the unity of our country. so i thank you very much for the way that you have kept us engaged and informed as decisions have been made. as as you pointed out, the biden administration was dealt a very difficult hand on the withdrawal from afghanistan. we all recognized we needed to withdrawal the options were extremely limited. the mistakes made by previous administrations, we've talked about it, but i think we need to understand that many of us did not support the 2002 campaign to go into iraq. and one of those reasons was that we wanted to complete the mission in afghanistan when we had the chance to do it when the taliban was diminished after our military came in after the attack on our country. but instead we went into iraq, which was not engaged in the 9/11 activities and we never finished afghanistan. a mistake made by the bu

it works in most states. the way it works in every state. it's the system of private enforcement, private attorneys general it's called and what this difficulty it's created is that it's unclear who the abortion provider should sue. usually you just sue the state government and the court issues an injunction on state government don't enforce the law. with no single enforcer of the law, there is this procedural problem that abortion providers have that it is unclear who they're supposed to sue. that's what's creating this legal tangle separate from the issue about the abortion law but the effect is that this law is now in effect and roe v. wade essentially does not exist in the state of texas and probably more in states to come. >> there is so much about this that's fascinating but this last sentence from you, jeff, people need to understand. as of now roe versus wade overturned isn't the right word but up ended i think is. >> exactly right. january 23rd, 1973, the day of roe v. wade was the last time a state
