abbott has a primary first. has to survive that to get to the general so that's topic "a" for him. >> so "the houston chronicle" set out abbott is facing his first serious primary challenges who have made covid-19 one of the biggest issues. i'm going to call the governor tacking right, tacking to where the base of the party is. there's also this if you look at his recent history, tried to position himself, the governor of florida ron desantis is i'm the anti-bidench they have some hope that trump dis-austin powers and if you look recently texas governor abbott's were banning vaccinations and the texas abortion law in the highlights there, abbott promised that the border agents not be punished by the biden straights. joe biden says yes so i say no. >> every step of the way. governor abbott has been against joe biden in every step of the way with every covid restriction. this is something that sets up, you know, possibly a legal challenge that they can take into next year's mid--term. >> we'll watch the courts and

governor desantis, governor abbott have doubled down on their base. their base is telling them that mandates on vaccines, mandates on mask, public health measures that have been recommended by the experts are in fact unpopular with the republicans. they're working to appeal to. they have greater support, they're working against the larger public opinion, which annually supports mandates. not by huge members. i saw a poll by the associated press, and lower than 48% -- only about a third oppose it. it's not overwhelming, but it is a majority. and it is significant. it's a difference between a pro and con. what we're seeing in desantis, abbess, and these other republicans, they're playing to the republican base. which is overwhelmingly against it. that's a calculation that they're making, it's good politics at this point. even if they don't win, when it comes down to sometime a court showdown with the biden administration. >> we should admit to ferc and viewers, who are used to seeing three initial guess on this hour, that we do indeed have three. it's j

do you think that abbott is going to capitulate? >> he's qcapitulated every step of the way the last few years. every thing he's done. he capitulated the big lie that started last year. capitulated attacks on the freedom of choice, women's right to decide. they basically obliterated roe versus wade here. he's done this in every single step of the way even though donald trump and what he stands for in texas is not popular among majority. the governor only seeks to appeal to 5% of the state. that 5% who aligns with that agenda. yeah, he's capitulated over and over. he will keep capitulating as long as he holds office and as long as donald trump shouts from mar-a-lago. >> nearby in arizona, unlike texas where donald trump won, joe biden won in arizona. and the trump-backed republican candidate for governor there said she would not have certified the election result for joe biden. do you think that we're watching a constitutional crisis unfold? >> i think it's already happened. in the aftermath of the election last year when every perso

in texas, governor greg abbott just doubled down. now no one, not even private companies, can mandate covid-19 vaccines for staff or customers. vaccines, he says, must always be voluntary for texans. new york city mandates vaccines for pro athletes, so the brooklyn nets just announced kyrie irving won't be playing. he could have played away games but says the gm, we will not permit any of our team to participate with part-time availability. >> we don't like to be telling people what they need to do with regard to vaccines, but we know that mandates work. we've seen that they are working. they're working in schools, universities, and colleges. >> reporter: in wisconsin, a mom whose son caught covid is suing the school district which will not mandate masks. she claims they're throwing students into a covid-19 snake pit. >> i am just hoping that they will start masking and take some responsibility to keep our kids safe at school. >> reporter: and at a school board meeting in virginia. >> i was sitting next to my healthy daughter's death

governor greg abbott banning any covid 19 vaccine mandate in the lone star state, signing an executive order for pivoting employers from pressuring texans with medical religious exemptions get key shot. also authorizing maximum fines for any entity that fails to comply writing, quote, the covid 19 vaccine is safe, effective at our best defense against the virus but should remain voluntary and never forced. todd: the afghan interpreter who helped rescue president biden after an emergency helicopter landing finally states the taliban controlled country, he was among the government employees who drove the group to safety during the blizzard. he pleaded for help after being stranded following the us withdrawal. the purple heart recipient with the arizona national guard joined us next hour to discuss the successful rescue mission. >> today a wyoming corner will give an update on gabby petito's final autopsy report at a new york, broke -- can ground in grand teton national forest. her death was initially ruled a homicide. the final autopsy is expected to include the time and cause of death.

remember governor abbott tried to do this weeks ago with schools. he said that schools cannot mandate vaccines for covid. but this is upping the ante because the president's executive order mandating the vaccine for both federal workers, federal contractors and also for businesses that have over 100 employees comes into play here and is now in direct contravention of that federal law. i think you should look for the justice department to intervene here and say, wait a minute, when federal law is in conflict with state law, typically federal law trumps. so we'll see how this plays out in court. he's already been sued, the governor has already been sued about what he tried to do with this in schools. we'll see where this one goes. as you mentioned, irerica, ther is a lot of businesses headquartered in texas now, essentially in limbo. american and southwest, also oracle, at&t, dell, we're talking about major corporations here essentially now with what to do with exactly how to comply with this order and also comply with president biden's executive orde

not to be outdone, in florida, governor ron desantis is following abbott's lead on covid, asking the legislature to block the blight biden administration's vaccine mandates. still with us, don calloway, mark mckinnon, mike this is so on brand i don't know how immersed you are in the minutiae of texas politics these days. but what should we know, what should be to think about this new guy i bet is put up as secretary of state, and if we weren't in polite conversation we'd probably ask, is he a student who would fold with one phone call from abbott's boss? >> well sure he would, he's one of the lawyers who made the texas appeal on behalf of donald trump. so, he's bought and paid for by donald trump already. so this is fascinating to watch, the back and forth between abbott and desantis to see you can kiss the shoots faster in china better, this is an interesting thing on the texas front, on the elections front, because admin is responding to the pressure to audit the state of texas, which trump won by a lot, which is abbott offered to audit the four largest democratic counties, so i th

you have greg abbott. you have ron desantis. you have other republican governors that are actually stepping in and stomping on them, taking away their freedom as a private enterprise, as a free enterprise business to do what they think is best for their companies. to keep their doors open. to keep their restaurants open. they're taking away that choice. it's like a socialist government not letting a private business, a family business do what they think is best. i don't understand it. mike barnicle, now you have the biggest corporations saying the same thing. the biggest corporations that understand they need their people working, they need their people back at work doing their jobs, getting their company going, getting the supply chain running again. and who is stopping them? republican governors. why? not because of science. >> no. >> not because of any medical advice. it is all just playing to the lowest common denominator and the dumbest conspiracy theories on the internet and on facebook. they are at war against private ent

based in texas where governor abbott announced a statewide ban on vaccine mandates. restaurants particularly hindered by the pandemic are at high risk of disruption and shutdowns in the event of more covid surge, but one safer bet has been casinos and particularly online gambling and mr. fertitta has cashed in, reaching an agreement in which his golden nugget, gnog, will be acquired by draftkings, but he'll have a big hunk of it. joining us now, tilman fertitta, ceo, chairman of the rockets always great to see you. welcome. let's talk a little bit, let's start with the vaccine mandate issue in texas, which governor man, governor abbott has said is not to be enforced you can't force your workers to be vaccinated. how do you feel about it >> believe it or not, tyler, when a governor comes out and says you cannot vaccinate, ask your employees to be vaccinated, it kind of makes it easier on us when a governor does something like that. it's no different than if in new york, the governor everybody has to be vaccinated because there is a labor shortage right now and it's re

. >> reporter: the new executive order from texas governor greg abbott is not subtle. he accuses the biden administration of bullying private entities into imposing vaccine mandates, and then he threatens to fine any texas companies that comply. >> our patience is wearing thin. >> reporter: it was one month ago that president biden announced all companies with more than 100 employees would soon have to require workers to either get vaccinated or submit to regular testing, with even stricter rules for federal contractors. >> if you want to work with the federal government, do business with us, get vaccinated. >> reporter: since then, republican attorneys general from roughly two dozen states have threatened to sue the administration. texas is one of them. >> we're extremely concerned about the vaccine mandates from the federal government. >> reporter: the conflict is employers. several major texas-based companies have already announced vaccine mandates. american airlines said today it's reviewing governor abbott's executive order, but believes will the federal vaccine m

robert ford from abbott. thanks for the insight >> thank you >>> speaking of outcome, another juror dismissed in the trial, yasmine, fill us in what happened yesterday >> that's right, carl, a juror in the elizabeth holmes trial excused after telling the judge she's a buddhist and her beliefs require forgiveness. this juror was very upset in court. she thinks of holmes possible punishment every single day. now, we're five weeks into the trial and the juror told the judge that she would have a guilty conscience if she voted to convict holmes. she was replaced with an alternate juror. the alternate juror expressed concerns walked into the courtroom, and pointed to holmes and said she's so young, i could make a mistake. frankly, i'm not sure i'm 100% ready to participate in the trial like this. that juror was persuaded to stay in the trial really, guys, over all of the shake-up, is elizabeth holmes a sympathetic character, while she's sitting in the courtroom, not saying a word. >> what do you think the signific

abbott says that the covid-19 vaccine is safe. he says it's effective and our best defense against the virus, but should remain voluntary and never forced. well, that's happening as texas republican gubernatorial candidate alan west, known for being an anti-vaxxer, comes down with covid. cnn's ed lavandera is here. ed, good evening to you. so abbott is really flying right in the face of president biden. and it's not the first time. talk to me about the governor's decision. >> well, i think everybody here in texas is looking at the governor's decisions really through very much a political lens. the governor is facing two primary opponents in the republican race for governor. that election is next year. both of those candidates running to the right of him and pushing against vaccine mandates and that sort of thing. so a lot of people here looking at the governor's actions simply as politically motivated. and also remember, the governor has issued bans on entities, local entities issuing mask mandates. and many of those -- many schoo

from the federal level, the osha requirements are the next step. >> governor abbott knows that the federal rule supersedes state law, so why did he do this? can you elaborate? >> when you make a choice that is against all public health information and data out there, it is not based on what is in the interest of the people governing. it is perhaps in the interest of your own politics. host: let's go to our phone lines and start with joe who is calling from alexandria, georgia, on the republican line. good morning. caller: good morning. i love c-span. it is a great network. all the people are wonderful. i think the big story is a poll showing that glenn young will be elected governor of virginia. i voted for dave for president. he was great. there was an economist that predicted that glenn young will be elected the governor of virginia, and this will lead to republicans taking over the senate and the election of a republican president. being elected governor of virginia is one of the biggest news stories this year. i am certainly -- i hope he was the governorship. host: let's go to alisa on

he's one of the people running against governor abbott. and it was allen west who spent from the hospital bed especially saying that this experience has made him more convinced to be against vaccine mandates. so it's interesting to see governor abbott's announcement tonight coming a day after allen west was railing against vaccine mandates. >> yeah. ed lavandera, thank you, sir. >>> i want to bring in dr. jonathan reiner. good evening to you. we know that vaccines work. right? how do you explain the on going republican resistance to life saving public health measures while we're in the middle of a pandemic still? >> it almost like these politicians are trying to sabotage our recovery. there is some interesting stats that relate -- that i think answer some of these questions. april 19th vaccines were made available for all americans. and on that date, texas and new york had very similar numbers of deaths. new york had about 52,000 deaths, texas had i believe around 49,000 deaths. and since that time, since vaccines were available to all adu

i have known professor abbott for about a year now. he's a geophysicist and professor at the university of chicago where i'm currently a senior and at the university of chicago i cofounded the chicago sinker which is a student newspaper where on the editor-in-chief and we are dedicated to challenging the mob's crusade against free speech and i have to say that professor abbott is a seen as one of the few faculty members willing right now to put his name and career on the line in order to defend free speech and he's always said that he's not a particularly political person and has never thought of himself as a political person, but he's extraordinarily brave and really, really leading the charge right now against the cancel mob and i'm so grateful for that. >> university of chicago and princeton usually not pushing back against the cancel mob, usually joining in, not this time. here's an excerpt from the newsweek editorial he put out, the words diversity, equity and inclusion are often supported by well-intentioned people but the effect

now heads the national democratic redistricting committee, said -- "we simply cannot allow governor abbott to deny texans a free and fair election through these undemocratic, gerrymandered maps that fail spectacularly to represent the state's growing communities of color." environmental and human rights lawyer steven donziger is spending his first full day behind bars at the federal prison in danbury, connecticut. donziger reported to prison wednesday after being denied bail pending his appeal over a six-month prison sentence for a misdemeanor. donziger had already spent over 800 days under house arrest. the charges are linked to a lawsuit he filed against chevron in which he successfully defended indigenous people in ecuador against the oil giant, which dumped billions of gallons of oil into the amazon. to see our interview with steven donziger hours before he reported to prison, go to democracynow.org. in london, as lawyers are presenting -- u.s. lawyers are pushing to extradite assange to the u.s. where he faces espionage charges for publishing classified documents eosing u.s. war crime
