the idea came to me as i was being smuggled into the back door of the statehouse in the state of hawaii from meeting with the secretary, the speaker of the house. hawaii was spending half a billion dollars on education. part that was subsidized by the federal government under the dividuals with disabilities education act. the rest is the taxpayers of hawaii and we had been there for two years to see whether the half a billion dollars is helping special education children. we've gone through 500 files were discovered almost no hope. but the services were being provided. lots of money diverted and inappropriate ways the commissioner of education for the state of hawaii had given a $250,000 grant to run a special education program. her last job was hula dancer. it seemed a little odd at face value and turned out not surprisingly she was having a relationship with the commissioner. people giving 30, 40, $50,000 grants for horseback riding. i wouldn't have it about the fact that that an isolated case. but i've been in the field to social policy for 40 years and i can't see this happen again

the trap law in alabama passed through the statehouse earlier this year, state senate passed it yesterdayhese people, hundreds, were at the state capital protesting against that anti-abortion bill. this is alabama. now the bill is going to the republican governor who has said he will sign it. we watched this same tactic at work in mississippi this year. the effort to close down the last single remaining abortion clinic in the state of mississippi through the same, same type of legislation. these bills all look the same. it is impossible to meet regulations designed specifically to shut down the clinic. for awhile, we watched in mississippi as though it were an anomaly, as if mississippi were a pioneer. since then, north dakota used that same language to shut down its last remaining abortion clinic. mississippi's is already in effect, a judge considers whether or not the new regulations are legal. north dakota passed it, in addition to flat out banning abortion at six weeks, before many women know they're pregnant. as of today, alabama passed the same language, too. this is the new normal

one point, be obama when he was in the illinois -- when he was a member of the statehouse in illinois voted three times against making it a crime to kill or allow to die a child born after an abortion. so this is not something that he is not in some way approving of, and i think it's a damming thing for him and for the whole administration. >> steve. >> i think charles' point is key -- the last point is key as it comes to previewing what the president is likely to say. i think if this were any other president, even a president who were pro choice you could expect in the come text of this national discussion that we're having on abortion him to show some shock and disgust and outrage at what happened in philadelphia, but because the president had voltted the way tt he did back in the illinois legislature, it's a very difficult argument for the president to make that at this point this is as horrifying as it is i think to pretty much everybody in the country. >> panel, thank you. that is it for the panel. stay tuned for a look at what's coming up tomorrow here in texas. . ♪ [ lighter fl

the immeasure able anguish, now is the time for everybody to make their voices heard, from every statehouse to the corridors of congress. and i'm asking everyone listening today, find out where your member of congress is on this. if they are not part of the 90% of american who is agree on background check, then ask them, why not? why wouldn't you want to make it easier for law enforcement to do their job? why wouldn't you want to make it harder for a dangerous person to get his or her hands on a gun? what's more important to you? our children or an aid raid from the gun lobby? you know, i've heard -- i've heard talk about what her life has been like since dylan was taken from her in december. and one thing she said struck me. she said, every night i begged for him to come to me in my dreams so i could see him again. and during the day i just focus on what i need to do to honor him and make a change. now, if nicole can summon the courage to do that, how can the rest of us do any less? how can we do any less? if there's even one thing we can do to protect our kids, don't we try? if there's ev
