who threatened him with physical violence. he wasn't suspect like the kid who saidhphysic asked forth clarification and the kid who threatened violencd whe. we didn't hear anything about it. how is violence not threatened? the act of violence doesn't tht as justh weigh saying a trigger word, which it's not becauseeone. it does not subscribe to the particular ideology is attempted to. but really, i mean, being forced upon these children right, where che if yon illegal alien, you know, by definition we've gone overt that. and what are you supposed to call people who com oue into this country illegally and even worse, yes, illegal newcomers or is that the favorite term wha is undocumented immigrant i think is what people lik le to use. but there's like 13 different terms that are used interchangeably by the court li by the legislators. and this is one that's been discusses d. the supreme court still using it. so, i mean, it's really hard to say that it's necessarily stt
launched a huge campaign to lobby us legislators but it is the same as what has happened since the beginning of the war, this is a drip feed of assistance to ukraine. —— diaspora. having said that, a lot of this money, especially military support, will stay in the united states, it will go to defence contractors, but there is a few billion in their dedicated budget support, so ukraine will be able to deploy that to pensions and teacher salaries and things like that. if this aid does not come soon, a lot of analysts are now beginning to think that the russians will get further, they could occupy ukraine within two years and speakerjohnson who i think has had an epiphany overnight, said in the past 24 hours, that if ukraine is not defended, the russians will go further into poland and the baltic states, and eventually us troops would have to get involved. so that is a pretty scary scenario.— involved. so that is a pretty
>> seems that the gravitational pull of the trump melodrama that has gripped the nation since he came down the escalator is now it appears resulting in some people coming to that spot where protesters have gathered and lit himself on fire. >> the gravitational pull. all of a sudden the melodrama that's been going on caused that >> it gets tiresome. >> if you hear it enough you have a tendency to believe it and this is the danger with this type of misinformation being put out there. this is an individual who clearly has mental illness. you look at his employment history he was working for a couple of democrat legislators. that's his history. if he is claiming theirs a deep state or some conspirator theory one would query what that is founded on.
lawmakers across the country needs state legislators who -- overwhelmingly men who don't understand that this care is in fact healthcare. the stories michael talked about in the ap story, that is happening to women all over the country. something similar happened to you. the doctor told you what kind of care you needed. but the state wouldn't allow you to get it and these lawmakers just -- i don't know if the men missed that part in class. what do you say to the state legislators, elected officials, people in power across the country who say these are just irresponsible women or that they should have their babies and give them up for adoption or some lawmakers say, this is just the lord patients will what do you say to those folks?
not. the perverse rule of democratic legislators is the smaller majority, and power a few people on the fringe. they have more power and that happened here. and i think he decided to if i am going to lose of the job i will lose it on principle, so be it. let the chips fall where they may. he is a quiet man. he doesn't get into public flights, he stuck to his principles, did what he said he was going to do and put it to votes, let people have their votes and clearly of the of the will of congress was to pass this thing. he also made the point this is about not sending american troops and we went to support taiwan before an invasion. we want to support it before hamas can attack again and
treated across the country. now, hence this conflict where people like kari lake and donald trump would like to say they're against something, that they, in fact, either championed or in the case of donald trump directly enabled. suddenly they're acting shocked. why? they're in tough races. contrast that with the legislators in arizona. the house and the senate are both controlled by republicans. there are i believe one in each chamber cross over votes. when the motion to appeal or the motion to begin debate on the appeal failed, when it was blocked by republicans, they cheered. so on the one hand you have kari lake working the phones and trump saying this goes too far, but when push comes to shove, there are plenty of republicans who are thrilled that the 19th century is coming back to rule the women of arizona. >> there republicans won't do it and democrats can't do it. it feels like the voters of arizona will do it. we now know republicans are concerned a ballot referendum
much want to keep it in place the party has historically been pro-life, but now we have the republican presidential nominee we donald trump, saying that this law goes too far and should be repealed. >> the republican candidate for senate, kari lake actually getting in there and calling legislators, trying to get them to repeal the law. clearly seeing it as a political threat to her candidacy. and two republicans in arizona. >> and we keep putting up on the screen that the arizona state senate has kept the repeal and play that doesn't matter if the republican house speaker in the arizona house continues to block it. and as far as i can tell, he continues to say that he will that he will not let it become law. what kind of a bind does that put someone like donald trump in who's trying to suggest that he's finding some middle-ground on abortion i think it absolutely puts him in a bind because as you said, it shows the consequences of this state's rights position. >> he is taken what you are
