rebecca tong is co-executive-director of the trust women foundation which operates clinics in wichitajessica waters is dean of undergraduate education at american university. her research focuses on reproductive rights law. thank you both for joining me. and rebecca, let's start with you, because you say your clinic in oklahoma is among those seeing a huge uptick in interest from patients in texas who need a want an abortion. explain to us what the last few days have been like in terms of the calls you've been getting and the types of questions and concerns you've been hearing. >> yeah, the volume has just been ridiculous. at least four times as many appointments that we've been making right now. people from all over texas. and people who would have normally gone to a texas clinic, perhaps, and now can no longer do that. so we're receiving calls from louisiana as well. people are panicked. they are upset that they have to travel four to six hours, you know, sometimes 600 miles round trip, to be seen for a very simple procedure, sometimes for a pill, right? it's very cruel, how they wr

>> i would add to that, you know, i was born in wichita, kansas, where all ocean grafrs come from andi'm a 15th generation american and i was brought up on the history of the lewis and clark expedition when jefferson acquired the louisiana purchase from napoleon, he doubled the size of the united states of america and launched that great two-year expedition. we know how much it changed the economy of our nation. we now have done that again in acquiring the useez, we have now doubled again the size of america and as we explore it we will change the economy of our country once again. he called his core of exploration the lewis and clark expedition. our core, the team of our ships of exploration are doing the second expedition, we call it the lois and clark expedition because 55% of our team are women in positions of authority and as you saw in that image we're able through our telepresent technology to engage all children in this historic expedition that will take the next ten years. so talk about an observation -- ocean shot, that's it. >> chairwoman johnson, i will add to that by sayi
