>> first, yasmin, thanks so much. that's why my co-host and i set out to do this work. as people have watched this fight over critical race theory, which is really a tug-of-war about the american story about what we want to believe about our identity, what parts of history we want to be comfortable, "southlake" was at the center of this. their fight started in 2018 before critical race theory was a phrase people knew about. it came about from a video clip you showed here. in 2018, these issues weren't politicized. when the plan is in place after george floyd's murder, all of this has become politicized. people say the story of "southlake" is a story of their town. even if they're far away from texas, these same issues of diversifying towns and trying to grapple with the real of how different people came to the country, what it means to be american for them, and having those messy and uncomfortable conversations is happening anywhere, and it's comfortable for them to hear, how did we get here. >> i have a good friend who's texting me constantly because it's happening in

i'm yasmine vus yoougian. we've got a lot to get to on this labor day monday. with the unofficial end of summer upon us, i know it's depressing, congress is coming back in session and the january 6th select committee probing what led to and during the maga riot is moving forward and intensifying. gop leader mccarthy threatening data companies if they comply with the law and send over phone and internet records. today we know he's acting on that threat. with news from the 11 gop lawmakers the committee is pursuing. the group accidentally sending a letter to the wrong ceo in an attempt to stop data from being turned over. the letter sent to the ex-ceo of yahoo, marissa mayer was one of more than a dozen urging companies to decline the panel's request to preserve phone records vowing to "pursue all legal remedies if they don't." now, this fight leading many to ask of course what is mccarthy hiding? here is leader mccarthy on the probe that he's not even involved with. >> and the other question the democrats want to know is how deeply was the president involved wit

i'm yasmin vossoughian. the future of abortion rights is front and center and under attack. a texas law allowed to stand for now by the supreme court is sparking a race to the bottom. republican governors around the country trying to duplicate or even surpass the law's impact. for those in the lone star state, the law has effectively ended abortion in the state as its citizen bounty hunter provisions encourage neighbors to inform on neighbors. >> we're talking about $10,000 as an incentive to sit in a parking lot, write down someone's license, take pictures of people, like that's -- that's insane. and you know, and really, you know, they do it without -- they know they've stripped away access to our constitutional right to make decisions for our own selves and that's really, really abominable. >> so in a moment i'm going to talk to congresswoman dina titus, co-sponsor of a bill that would enshrine the protection of roe v. wade nationwide. i'm going ask her if there's a plan to get that bill through the senate. also this hour, senator joe manchin again setting off a grenade i

yasmin we showed a little bit of governor in you are fee looking at some of the extreme flooding where you are and he's issued this warning now. he was out on the "today" show this morning, said we are not out of the woods yet. what are you seeing? >> reporter: not out of the woods yet. he's exactly right because a lot of the homes and i'll show you one of them a lot of flooding in the basement. pse&g wanted to shut off all the electric in the homes surrounding this area where i'm standing. the two homes behind me, one of them completely blew up. the other one in front of it, the smoke -- >> still smoking. >> reporter: it's actually bothering my eyes. it happened overnight. the one in front lit on fire because of the electric that was still there obviously with the flooding and then pouring onto the electric system that's why these houses actually lit up. why the governor says this, so many of the homes still have a lot of water inside them and the electricity hasn't been shut off as of yet. if you think about it, that's a really bad combination, so we do need to be cautious as we're s
