west virginia's republican governor jim justice has signed legislation to ban trans girls and women from competing on sports teams at any public school, including state colleges. a similar bill approved by lawmakers in florida is awaiting the governor's signature. and in texas, the state senate has approved a bill to criminalize gender-affirming healthcare for trans youth. by some counts, close to one-fifth of u.s. states could ban trans kids from sports by the end of this legislative session. meanwhile, president biden is -- expressed support for trans youth during his speech to congress on wednesday night. pres. biden: to all transgender americans watching at home, especially young people, so break, i want you to know your president has your back. amy: to mark this 100th day in office, president biden visited georgia and former president jimmy carter, who is now 96 years old. during his speech, biden was interrupted by protesters calling on him to end private detention centers. pres. biden: i want to thank you, the people of georgia. >> and detention now. end detention now. pres. biden

ian prior looked into the school district in his home town, lowden county, virginia and got his hands on some of their internal documents including part of a presentation delivered by the lowden county equity director. it's hard to read the fine print but it's essentially a tool to help brain wash teachers into believing that white christians are privileged. so everyone else is, of course, by default oppressed. ian prior, the father who uncovered these documents joins me now. ian, thank you so much. i've heard a lot about you. i've seen a great deal of your work. you also started up a website where people can chime in with the things that are helping -- that are happening in their district when it comes to critical race theory. tell me what started all of this off for you? >> well, you know, this really started off in march when there was a group of folks in a private facebook group including six school board members that were calling for targeting parents for speaking out against critical race theory. that really motivated people across ideological lines, you know, really everybody t

democratic west virginia senator joe manchin is a key player on every vote in the senate. in a radio interview today, manchin said he opposed the d.c. statehood bill which just moved through the house. manchin says a constitutional amendment is required to make the city a state. he noted the 23rd amendment to the constitution which gave d.c. citizens the right to vote for president. no republicans appear to support d.c. statehood. that's manchin's vote is so critical. >> bret: we may have manchin updates on a number of issues. chad pergram on the hill. thanks. president biden is restricting travel from india over that country's coronavirus surge. before he was elected, president biden criticized president trump xenophobia on the same day that president trump announced a travel ban to china because of the virus. state department correspondent rich edson has a situation report tonight. >> citing extraordinarily high covid-19 case loads and multiple variants circulating there, the biden administration announced the united states will restrict travel from india starting next w

advocates painful memories of the deadly 2017 car attack on peaceful protesters in charlottesville, virginia. republicans in iowa have proposed granting immunity to drivers who hurt protesters convicted of unlawful assembly or blocking traffic. democrats worry the new florida law's broad language could lead to peaceful protesters being detained and silenced while republicans here cite some of the more violent demonstrations in recent years in other states and praise the measure for haloti violence and protecting police. >> look at seattle, portland, minneapolis, that's no way to treat the community. that's no way to treat those that put their entire life into building their business. >> well, that's interesting because, you know, we don't want to be killed by police officers. >> reporter: the new law is being challenged in court in florida. >> black lives matter! black lives matter! >> reporter: for now the black lives matter alliance stays will focus ownedcating protesters about the new law. >> is this stopping? >> it's not going to stop us because we know our first amendment rights. >> rep

so the media is central to madison's conception and his defense of free speech in the virginia resolutions opposing adams' infamous sedition act remains one of the greatest expressions of faith in free speech in american history. both madison and jefferson in opposing the sedition acts which allow the republican president to put his critics in jail but not to jail the critics of the -- i'm sorry the federalist president could imprison his critics but the republican vice president, thomas jefferson can be criticized with impunity according to the sedition act. and jefferson and madison said because our rights of speech and opinion are natural rights that come from god and nature and not government and the right of unbridled criticism of public men is central to trial of reason in a democracy, therefore the only kind of threat that could justify the suppression of speech is the threat of imminent violence. and the great jeffersonian brandice channels whitney vs. california where brandice talks about once again the importance of citizens cultivating their faculties of reason. this theme emerg

could virginia nullify that law? mr. madison, why don't we begin with you. >> first and foremost, i should think the worthy p. henry for his most obstreperous question. in every instance, curious he should ask it, he being invited to that convention. funny that he should have so much to say now that was held in that moment, he not wishing to attend that convention because he quote smelled a rat. now, as to the nature of this question, equally to public opinion, we see across this theater of the globe, a diversity of faction. faction being a great evil of society, yet equally inevitability. we see factions between followers of different ecclesiastical sects, we see a faction in identifying within our various state governments. i find great curiosity in the gentleman's question, was it not p. henry in 1774 who said boldly, i am not a virginian, i am an american. so at this present moment, what is at stake mr. harris is, a plural ty of identity. shall we be a treaty amongst 13 separate provinces, or shall we be all at once

so other delegates as they arrived, and, in particular, the delegates from virginia. because madison was there early, he brought them all together, and all together they produced the virginia plan, which, as you all know, set the agenda for the constitutional convention. during the convention, madison was one of the delegates who spoke most often. and he made crucial, critical interventions. when the convention was about to write into the constitution that congress had the power, quote, to make war. madison stood up and successfully changed it to "declare war." thus making the president commander in chief. now, if you think about it, we would have not ever done so well, i'm sorry to mention this, but if all the congressmen were in charge of our war, of war, it would not have been successful. so this was a really important intervention. while he's speaking and understanding how important it is to get the words just right, madison was also taking notes. he sat up at the front of the room and wrote the notes out of who said what in shorthand, and then went back to his ro

just this week, for example, there was a case that is charged in the eastern district of virginia of an individual charged with a similar type of allegation, sex with underage girls in exchange for money or gifts. so that type of crime is something that the justice department takes very seriously, and carries very stiff penalties. >> great to have you with us, carrie, thank you. >> thanks. >>> president biden today delivering a welcome message to most parents across the nation, saying schools should probably all be open this fall. but how is the white house going to make that happen? we'll discuss with the secretary of session, miguel cardona. >>> as the united states makes huge strides in the fight against the coronavirus, the world's second largest country, india, is going through hell. we will take you there live. >>> and florida is the latest republican led state to address a problem that just does not exist. passing new restrictions on voting despite the fact that there was no widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. ♪ when i was young ♪ no-no-no-no-no please please no.

one of the laws passed in west virginia, even though the republican governor made comments on msnbc today suggesting the law was, indeed, a remedy in search of an actual problem. >> you give me one example of a transgender child trying to get an unfair advantage, one, in your state. you signed a bill about it. >> i can't really tell you one. >> taken together, this republican party appears to be knitted together more by cultural warfare and trump-style propaganda. the party changed and would rather talk about the border than the budget, cancellations than congressional budget office scores. what happened to that gop? the short answer, of course, is donald trump. joining me now to talk about this shift if priorities where the gop is right now, my colleague and nbc news political editor carrie dan. i do think one of the undercovered stories in american politics is sort of the republican party -- we talk about whose party is it? is it donald trump's party? here is what it's not. it's not the washington republicans. they couldn't be farther removed, it appears, from where the rank and file is

and they move back to virginia. and so she sort of is raised in that sort of loving circle of kith and kin in the gentry world of chattel slave holding. >> her father released his slaves as a quaker. is that the cause of his inability to continue his business, he couldn't make the economics of it work? >> i think he had other problems besides that. he definitely could not farm. so they moved to that chilly northern city of philadelphia. >> and edith, i'm not sure if you know much about her thoughts about slavery, her life was affected by her father's decision to release his slaves. how is it that she reconciled herself to actually having slaves in the white house? >> i think that's a very good question. i'm not sure that i quite know the answer to that. but she did not free any of her slaves, as her father had. and she didn't speak out against slavery. so the quaker background there did not affect her slaveholding. i don't know, are there letters about that? >> so this is why historians have a hard job. >> it's a re

even before it happens, i'm watching this back and forth between the president and the west virginia senator. and she's the tip of the sphere on the infrastructure negotiations. i think it's important to separate the two packages. the jobs plan, the infrastructure plan and the family plan. there's plurality that infrastructure need to be done. and the two sides are way far apart still but there's time and room to negotiate and perhaps pass something like that on a bipartisan basis. on the families plan which includes things like paid leave, the universal pre-k, the free community college. by and large, republicans don't see those issues as an appropriate role of government. let alone the price tag which has given moderate republicans a sense of sticker shock. there's this bipartisan happening on the one hand on infrastructure and the jobs plan. and there may be a separate negotiation necessary among democrats to see if they can come up with the 50 votes they would need in the senate to pass the families plan later on because it is very difficult to see how they find any such or close

she is clearly one of the great stars in the virginia community. we're so thrilled to co-sponsor this lecture but have her speak to you all today. please join me in welcoming kat imhoff. [ applause ] >> well, i really am thrilled to be here, and i was joking that we obviously don't have a lot of oahu fans. but any of you, if you hear anything about the score, we'll pause to see what's going on. i have to start with a quote from dolley madison, of course. i sometimes wish myself with you for a while, for i love richmond, because there is so much soul, so much real kindness in its enlightened society. we remember her as the quintessential hostess, the stylish lady and the figure that helped rescue george washington's portrait. but for over a century after dolley madison, american companies used her name ice cream. they really crystalized her image into this ideal woman, the epitome of gracious hospitality. i hope to prove to you this afternoon that doll li's legacy and life was so much more than that stereotype. in fact, dolley shaped this nation by

you can click on the second amendment, for example, and see that two states, virginia and pennsylvania, said the people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves or for purposes of killing game. whereas the other states, led by george mason's virginia declaration of 1776, always the best place to begin because madison and jefferson have mason's declaration by their side when they wrote the bill of rights and the declaration, talk about the right of the people to organize themselves in militias to defend liberty in the face of tierney. it's a nonpartisan way of seeing the bill of rights and you can see the rights evolve in realtime. the other extraordinary thing that you can do on the interactive constitution is to have the top liberal and conservative scholars in america nominated by the federalist society and the american constitution society exploring areas of agreement and disagreement. so, once again, click on the controversial second second amendment and find van winkler, the leading scholars with 1,000 words about what they agree the second amendment means. what a r

explain why this is so bad for west virginia in particular. >> i think in the state of west virginia we have a perception problem. when we perpetuate the fear based stigma of trans folks we validate those fears. i'm proud to live here in the city of wheeling and i know west virginia is a welcoming and inclusive place. we have representatives across the state that would rather put their political oxygen into something that is staked in discrimination and bigotry. i'm very proud of the community organizing work happening across the state west virginia to push back on things like this. unfortunately, we didn't get here overnight. it's going to take a lot of time to ensure that we are pushing forward for progressive change in the state. >> my colleague hallie jackson asked jessica, the young woman in that piece that she did in alabama, she said, what's your message to legislatures in other states? she said, listen to the kids, because they are telling the truth, because there's nothing else to tell. what's your message to other legislatures thinking about targeting the trans community in

just this week he got on the phone with important republican senator from west virginia. she's somebody who proposed an alternative in infrastructure bill. they are very far apart. but the idea that they're having the conversations honestly, the process just as important as the result. because somebody like joe mafrnlma manchin, he cares about the idea that they are making efforts at bipartisanship. they have to show that they are taking seriously the idea that the other side of the aisle has an opinion. that they have pint of view. you see them going into that process earnestly. >> fist pump on the floor is bigger target among republicans. great to your point of view here. thanks so much. >> my pleasure. thanks, jim. >> new this morning, as the u.s. begins pulling troops out of afghanistan, after nearly 20 years, al qaeda is now vowing its war with america is not over. daunting words. we'll have more. ♪ tex-mex. tex-mex. ♪ termites. go back up! hang on! i am hanging on. don't mess up your deck with tex-mex. terminix. hi. the only way to nix it keeping your oysters bu

in west virginia, the state is offering a $100 savings bond to get the shot. >> target, trader joe's, olive garden, mcdonald's, among the companies offering time off or one-time bonuses to employees who do receive the vaccine. >> lyft and uber offering free rides. staples and office depot offering to laminate your vaccination card for free. >> and if you like beer, sam's is offering free beer. budweiser is doing the same. ♪ >> yeah, some people might say there. a major baseball league team offering $10 discount on tickets. >> at white castle you can get a free dessert on a stick. >> and at nation's famous coney island, you can get a free dog. >> krispy kreme, a doughnut for a dose. i think bribing is the wrong way to look at this. it's incentivizing. if you look at the polling, 43% of the americans say the reason they can't do it is they can't get there or they need time off. companies should provide free leave. a company has a reason to want its employees to get vaccinated. so why not offer a bonus. it means they can come back to the office and work more quickly. >> also there's th

you know i did an experiment once when i was out in west virginia i went through a cracker barrel and i went through and i asked every single table what people thought of joe mansion and i think because of the lengthy political career that he has there and the name recognition he has he does have some capacity to get away with things in west virginia as probably tester doesn't actually have exactly the same standing maybe unlike 8 years maybe we'll find he does but he might not be there quite yet i have been into some of those same cracker barrels in west virginia and i and i and i have kind of who largely felt the same thing there's been a great discussion just really fast you know we have the president to be speaking to the nation we're a little bit more than 3 months in what grade would you give joe biden josh. it's a or a minus i think that given given the range of challenges not just in policy terms but also kind of keeping his his his rather you know fractured party together with him it's hard for me to think how he could have realistically done much better than he has at this p

isaiah brown shot in virginia. w. kamau bell is here, the host of cnn's ""united shades of ame america". i love having conversations with you. what's the real takeaway, do you think, of the chauvin verdict? >> i mean the takeaway from the chauvin verdict is that is one case in one place in america that there was some measure of justice for his family, for george floyd's family. but it is not something we should extrapolate that we think this is a change for the rest of the country. we know that as you mentioned from the black people that have died since then, we also lost adam toledo who is 13 and mario gonzalez out here in al mee tow, california. >> you talked to multiple police reform activists who say law enforcement is an inherently race system. i want to watch a clip. >> is this moment different as far as like where we are in america and specifically around law enforcement? >> for me, it's just this moment of being a black man in a police uniform. >> mm-hmm. >> right? and there are some problems, some systemic pr

importance of in-person learning, you are seeing kids fall behind in california, new york, new jersey, virginia maryland, states you didn't think of is a big liberal state that these kids are in school. how did you decide this and bucked the unions to do it. >> when you think about what they are doing to these children, some of them will never regain the opportunities to succeed and education is the equalizer and they robbed these young people of that so from the beginning we had probably 90% of our school districts that were in person 5 days a week, we had a few holdouts kowtowing to the school boards and unions and i talked to parents, students, administrators, i did townhall meetings and the stories were heartbreaking that i was hearing, feeling everything. i'm not a good mom, not a good wife, not a good teacher, bad employee, and enough is enough. i talked to the legislature, not only are we going to give parents 100% options for online learning but 100% option to have their child in the classroom 5 days a week and every school district in the state of iowa will adhere to that. we have kids

if they try to move it on their own, they have to win over west virginia senator joe manchin. he has been one of the most effective senators in wielding the influence of an individual senator as he wants in a 50-50 senate. any senator has power to use leverage. joe manchin is doing just that. when i talked to him earlier today, i asked him about his concerns, if he had any, about the role of the government that joe biden laid out and he made clear he is concerned. >> are you concerned about this push for a more expansive government? >> oh, most certainly, yeah, i am. i want to see the details, as we talked about. let's look at what we're doing that can have long-lasting effects. the tax reforms, i think we need to have tax reform. i thought 2017 was the wrong direction to go. but we can't overreach to the point to where we stymie investments, we stymie basically growth for 2022, '23, '24 and on. >> so he's sharing a lot of the same concerns republicans have. he's concerned about the level of spending and that there has been so much already pumped into the economy. the economy

any of those wind turbines in china we can actually build them in texas or in pennsylvania or in west virginia and i thought that was a compelling case that he continued to say well we got a purchase in america but we also got to build an american i think the way to sell that is actually say this all has to do with american jobs and american infrastructure and we can't rely on the chinese anymore we've got to buy and purchase at home you know that takes us to domestic policy and to you carlina biden last night called for an end to america's war on immigration so what's his solution to the crisis in american southern border. indeed and he called to and that war on immigration here in the united states but he did not actually address the crisis here in the south and border of the word to mexico and me instead called on congress to pass his immigration bill a bill that includes a path to citizenship for around 11000000 undocumented people and this issue of the felder border crisis has really overshadowed his 1st 100 days in office so people who were expecting to see him to address this incident t

all across this country and parts of west virginia and parts of mississippi and right here in washington, people do not have access to broadband internet. don't have access to clean water and that's what this will would do for the american people. >> kristin: this sounds great but one of the concerns is when you spend this much money, $1.8 trillion, it could potentially lead to inflation. steve, you're the economist. how worried should the united states be about that? >> i think "the wall street journal" editorial this morning really nailed it. the headline was cradle to grave government. this is clearly president, democratic party that believes the opposite of what ronald reagan used to say that government isn't the solution. government is the problem. democrats and think every problem in america can be solved by spending trillions of dollars. i wish it were that easy and i wish that we didn't have these trillions of dollars in debt added. i think the american people are pretty fatigued. this is the third to trillion dollar bill joe biden is introduced. the through fiscal responsibility
