take us through what that means in dallas at the arena. >> reporter: yeah. craig, it means that the mavericks being a bit more proactive than the majority of teams in the nba. they are one of about a dozen teams league-wide that are requiring fans in they show up to catch a game to either have that vaccination card ready or if you are unvaccinated, show proof of a negative test within the past 48 hours before you can go inside and catch the game. mark cuban standing very firm behind that. and important to note that dallas mavericks and the oklahoma city thunder are just a couple teams in the league that have rules like that in place without a local mandate in effect. essentially taking it upon themselves to keep these rules going forward when it comes to covid-19 protocols. on the flip side with the players, we have seen the majority of nba players get vaccinated. one big name who is not getting vaccinated is kyrie irving who is specially sacrificing about half of more than his $30 million salary to not get vaccinated. no timetable on when or if he will get

the dallas independent school district is among the largest in the country. serving nearly 150,000 students employing 120,000 staff members. when they last months, many dallas teachers will go up to an email, asking them to, rat out their colleagues, to promote so-called critical race theory. and what's the email referred to as, predatory gender fluidity. the wright has turn critical race theory into a kind of catch all term, that's teaching them just about anything about racial hierarchy and slavery in this, country the daily beast obtained a copy of the email, some by a group calling itself, save texas kids. and calling for teachers to snitch on each other, they say, quote the games rigged against kids parents and teachers who want to do the right. thing but with your help it doesn't have to be. we've been seeing stories like this all over the, country people emboldened by officials, like those in texas, where an anti critical race theory law, went into effect. organizing groups to go around naming and purging those they disagree with. save texas kids cloak

one day last month, many dallas teachers woke up to an e-mail asking them to rat out their colleagues who promote so-called critical race theory and what the e-mail referred to as predatory gender fluidity. the right has turned critical race theory or crt into a term, the teaching of just about anything having to do with racial hierarchy and slavery. "the daily beast" obtained a copy sent by a group called save texas kids and calling for teachers to snitch on each other. they say the game is rigged against those who want to do the right thing. we've been seeing stories like this all over the country. people like those in texas, organizing groups to go around naming and purging those they disagree with. they claim liberal educators and city leaders have decided to brainwash our children. the same group, if you last last month's was bad, this is worse. it landed in inboxes on friday. it says thanks to you, you have received multiple reports of illegal critical race theory incorporated orientation materials for school staff at dallas independent school district. it is unacceptable for st

morgan chesky is tracking all of this from dallas. morgan, what do these workers want and what are the companies saying? >> reporter: yeah, steph, it is pretty simple. better conditions, better pay. the company is saying they're trying to work this out as fast as they can. as with all things, timing is absolutely everything. say you're a farmer or a rancher that relies on john deere equipment like these tractors. now that we're right in the middle of harvest season, finding a replacement part and getting repairs could be much harder to come by as a result of this ongoing strike. and the john deere strike just one of several nationwide, as workers try to take advantage of this labor moment. this morning american union workers helping keep your favorite foods in stock and tv shows on air, flexing new leverage. picket lines popping up nationwide, amid industry labor shortages and severe supply chain issues. >> the cheap labor bubble has finally busted. >> reporter: more than 10,000 members of the united auto workers union clocking out an

worth and she lived in dallas. that's the -- that's real. the other real heart breaking story is of a woman who started her abortion process on the day before the ban went into place and went into the clinic the next day for the second part and it had failed. this is heart breaking. we are hearing these kind of stories on the front lines from clinic staff. >> these are the front line stories and it's all going to run up to what happens at the supreme court as it begins the new term next week. we will be watching the case out of mississippi. harry lipman reports the most consequential case this term requires the court to review a mississippi abortion statute that forbids nearly all procedures after 15 weeks. the courts reafloral that the constitution protects a decision to terminate a pregnancy about 20 weeks under the current science. what is this case going to reveal about the new conservative super majority supreme court? >> we already have the first glimmers of a conservative super majority would mean with the voting rights cases and to s

and already the dallas morning news is showing its impact revealing texans crossing state lines, forced to travel hundreds of miles to seek reproductive care. it's been a constitutional right since the decision on roe v. wade in 1973. the director of a clinic in oklahoma described what he's seen since texas passed its law. >> the only people that we're able to see right now are the people who are able to make it out of texas, the people who can find a reliable ride, who can get the child care for their current children, who can take the time off of work. many patients told us they or their partners have lost their jobs trying to request this time off of work, and it's absolutely an undue burden. >> this week in washington, we also heard the personal stories and struggles of three members of congress on facing their own decisions to end a pregnancy. meanwhile, in texas the fate of that abortion law is in the hands of a federal judge. the judge friday questioned the portion of the law that empowers citizens to enforce the ban, calling it, quote, very unusual. before we get into what happe

i'm still registered in texas in dallas county. the republicans have been getting crushed in the suburbs. they have been losing harris county, dallas county, bayer county, travis county one of the few largest counties where they still have powers is tarrant county. white folks have stopped supporting it so what they have to do is they have to protect their incumbents and that's why you're seeing them distribute these maps this way, but the other thing is here, there is a silver lining in north carolina when the republican party did the exact same thing the naacp and people's campaign and others sued them over racial gerrymandering. they were successful in getting that knocked back. the problem is this here. elections matter. donald trump put 25% of the judiciary on the bern and you have more right-wing judges who don't care about voting rights and this is why i need earn to understand why voting matters. those who ignore the presidential race, this is what happens when you put federal judges who do not care about racial gerrymander

they can do the congressional ones in the dallas suburbs. look how many hispanics are in the 33rd congressional district. that was drawn a decade ago under the voting rights act to protect people of color but now that the supreme court has gutted the voting rights act back until the shelby decision, legislators have to no longer worry about proving to the justice department they aren't trying to dilute the power. they are extending a ridiculous finger of the texas sixth district rural and mostly white up into dallas county and now hispanic voters will be a minority once more. it outrageous. white voters have been a minority for two decades and republicans managed to insulate themselves against the diversity starting at the state level where the maps are drawn. the state senate in texas 20 of 31 districts would have white majorities and protrump districts increases from 16 to 19 and not just in texas but georgia where republicans are looking to target democrat lucy in missouri veteran emanuel himself says his district could be drawn into exti

nbc's jay gray is in dallas with more on this. it's an awful story, jay. what happened here? two kids have been killed. >> reporter: yeah, alex, it unfortunately seems to be just a terrible tragedy, a mistake there. one of the drivers there apparently losing control, careening into the cars that were parked along the runway that was being used as a drag strip. the fans had gathered there as well. we know this was an independent promoter that put on this race event. it was at an airport along one of the runways, the driver losing control, a 6-year-old killed at the scene. an 8-year-old was taken to a nearby hospital, he died as well. four others transported by air ambulance to area airports including the driver of the car. none of their injuries are considered life-threatening. two people at the track were treated and released. then you've got two other small children, alex, a 4-year-old boy, a 3-month-old girl, that were both taken in for evaluation. and just to be watched for a while. it appears they're going to be okay. a little more on this event. it was billed on the conv

southlake, texas is a community outside of dallas, it's one of the ground zero towns where this national fight over critical race theory and how to talk about tough subjects in school has gotten its start. the battle has some for books. take a listen. wes fryerson, a parent of two daughters in southlake is uncertain about his kids' education. >> some of the local politics right now i'm not sure that teachers feel supported. >> reporter: the district already in the spotlight after parents clashed over its diversity plan, now facing new pushback over which books are allowed in their libraries, with some teachers placing caution tape over bookshelves, calling the move censorship. it all started when a fourth grade teacher was reprimanded after a parent complained about her having a book ant anti-racism. >> i couldn't believe it. she's the kind of teacher we would hope the district would be trying to attract. >> reporter: the district guidance to vet all books, considered offensive, this coming after texas passed a law banning the teaching of concepts that could make individuals feel guilt o

and then a reporter from "the dallas morning news" reached out on a whim. she was the one who worked with me on the original story and helped me apply for the bounty, and here we are. >> when you applied for the bounty, did it ever occur to you that you would actually get paid the bounty money? i think all of us observing the sort of fighting between the lieutenant governor in your state, john fetterman, and dan patrick, less fighting than fetterman just trolling him on the subject, i think all assumed that dan patrick would never come through and pay any of this because it wasn't obviously for the purpose that he intended to offer this reward, to sort of hype the idea of fraud as being something that was endangering the integrity of the whole election. did you actually think that you might get paid? >> no. i never thought in a million years that i would get paid. i thought this was just somebody kind of speaking too much in the hopes that it would just get them more attention. i just think it's extremely ironic that they were -- it's my opinion they were t

it kind of blew up in their face a little bit. >> in terms of the reporting on this in texas, in the dallas morning news, you, as far as we know, are the first and only person who has sought to get the money, you receive $25,000 that's the minimum amount that dan patrick said he would pay out to anybody who did what you did, provided information in the lead to a conviction in the case like this. $25,000 was the minimum amount, he said he'd pay up to 1 million amount. if you have any idea where you got 25,000 instead of 1 million? >> i was hoping for a little more, i wasn't actually expecting anything to be honest. but, i did ask the manager for dan patrick, mr. blake more just how they came out without minimum amount, if i was the only one came forward to report, and his response was we were hoping for a bigger fish to cite his exact words. i still don't know what he means by that, to be honest i, i don't know if he was looking for a celebrity, is he looking for big political group, i don't know what he meant by that. listen, 25, 000, i'll take it, it will go towards the new house for my fi

irving is squeezed between the twin cities of dallas and ft. worth. 42% of irving texas residents are hispanic or latino. 22% of irving residents are non-hispanic white people. a really diverse area. if you live in irving, texas and the area around it, this is what your congressional district has looked like over the past ten years. you can see it's kind of split wean the big metro areas and dallas and ft. worth, which makes sense given it's a suburb of both cities. this is what it has looked like. now, if you live in that area, this is what your congressional map will look like for the next ten years. wait a minute. zoom out. zoom out. keep zooming. wait. one more time. zoom more. okay. yeah, now we're starting to see it. this is what the new congressional district is going to look like for the next ten years for people who live in and around irving, texas. why does it look like that? why does it look like it got thrown against a wall and melted? is the old map and new map side by side at scale so you can see the difference that we're talking

which it's all these laws working together and the harm that they all create in different ways, the dallas morning news reports in just one recent month, seven pregnant 12-year-olds and their caregivers sought help at the dallas children's advocacy center, which handles the most serious criminal sexual abuse cases in the county, staff members told of recent pregnant rape victims as young as nine, the advocacy center shared stories of 12-year-old trying to find maternity clothes, of girls who must continue attending their neighborhood school as their pregnancy progresses. of bewildered children who believe their own bodies have become alien beings. that is really hard to read, but that is the reality and it is important for people to understand. why do you think texas republicans went this extreme? i mean, 12 year old and nine-year-olds children, they shouldn't have to go through this. >> you know, there is no excuse for what they are doing, it's one thing to be a lawmaker and to be interested with making laws that make sense for adults, it's another thing to be interested with the responsi

but that day there were thousands of people on the street in san antonio and even more in austin and dallas and houston. i have a feeling that republicans are going to regret this in 2022 and beyond if it holds. >> i wonder for you as someone often tasked as messaging this to voters. you have been on the show many times talking about the attack on voting rights in your state. how you tie those two efforts together for voters. how you help them see a multiprong strategy where their rights are being chipped away. texas becomes a state that other states look at to say how can we do more of the same. >> absolutely. on the one hand what they have done with this anti-abortion law has become a blueprint for other states with republican governors, especially ambitious republican governors and legislatures. at the same time there is that tie-in because as many people have pointed out, texas is not necessarily a conservative state. its demographics look like states that have already flipped, like arizona. if you don't get out there and exercise your right to vote, there are consequences, and right no

. >> nbc news correspondent jay gray is following the latest from us from dallas, texas. jay, what do we know right now? >> yes, kendis and lindsey. a tragedy is unfolding in cooterville. look, we know it was an independently sponsored drag racing event known as airport racehorse to, because it was taking place at the curve in her county airport, along one of the landing strips there. we know the race occurred, one of the cars lost control, as you talk about, careening into parked vehicles, ultimately into spectators that were lining that strip over there. a six and eight year old boy died as a result of that crash, four people including the driver, transported to area hospitals by air ambulance. they are all in stable condition. none of their injuries are life-threatening. we are told to others were treated and released at the scene. and a four year old boy and three month old little girl were taken to the hospital. but that was for evaluation, for observation. the investigation is it described as active and ongoing right now. we have no answer as to how or why this happ

instead of that but we have seen is the practice of cracking, in suburbs of dallas, latino and asian entity being cracked. this is what's truly marry me, even if you have the right to vote you, not going to have a community of interest to really have that translated, and to me this is what's so worrisome, because it sticks for the very least in the next ten years. >> in fact, the graphic we showed as we went to last break, texas has already become a brand in the worst way. it's from, texas virginia. we reminding people to vote no member side of second. bill, i have a quote for you on the virginia race and politics a large. this is from the new york times, with former president trump out of our office, congressional democrats in a bitter standoff, in virginia democrats having claimed every bullet political prize, mr. mcauliffe is straining to motivate the liberal voters in his increasingly blue state. at the moment, when that is being watched closely above parties for clues about elections next year, he is bumping up against a thick teed electorate. bill, this isn't the first time i'v

i am going to read from the dallas morning news about what is happening in texas right now. we should all know. in just one recent month seven pregnant 12-year-olds and their caregivers sought help at the dallas children's advocacy center which handles the most serious criminal sex abuse cases in the county where victims first share the atrocities in custom they have been trapped. staff members told a recent pregnant rape victims as young as 9 years old, the advocacy center staff shared stories of 12-year-olds trying to find maternity clothes. of girls who must continue attending their neighborhood school as their pregnancy progresses. of bewildered childrens who believe their own bodies have become alien beings. maya wiley, how is this happening in the united states of america in 2021? >> fundamentally, it is happening because, number one, we had a congress that did not allow our constitutional norms around how we select supreme court justices. but number two, that we have become -- you know, i'm afraid we have become so distanced from the actual experiences of people, part

if you live in dallas, houston, or san antonio, there are c clinicers nearby. no clinic can serve you beyond six weeks or no clinic is serving folks beyond six weeks. >> talk about the money that your organization is now having to put up. how it's increased obviously since september 1st when sb-8 was first enacted. how prices have gone up across the board not only for receiving abortion services but surrounding the travel and the needs of these women. >> yeah. so prior to sba and prior to september 1st, we were spending close to 30 $0 on traveling in texas and about $800 on texasen the d texans leaving texas. we spent average $100 on per client. and that's because they left the state. that includes hotels, gas, flights, buses, ride shares, food stipends. it's all around care. and on the low end, there's some cases that are lower on the 600, 700 side. on the other end, we spent 1800 on one client in september. it varies. it's hard to know when, for example, hotels will be really expensive. right? we found out pretty quickly in oklahoma every other weekend when t

dallas, good to see you. thank you for being with us this morning. for those of us who don't understand, why is being out to all of your healthcare providers important? how does it affect someone's healthcare? >> sure. well, first and foremost, it just means the ability to show up and be authentic and be yourself and have a safe space where you can actually discuss your medical concerns. but to do that and to be able to be out to your provider, you have to feel safe, and it has to be an environment where you're able to be yourself. and that has downstream consequences on your physical health, what organs are assessed, for example, your mental health, the minority stress you might internalize, and whether you actually just feel safe enough to show up in primary care. and from the data we know that if people don't feel safe to show to their primary care providers, then they're going to wait, and then that issue turns into an emergency down the line which only increases the cost to the healthcare system and also the cost to the body. >> there's a thing

most are in big cities like dallas and houston, which means some texans face long trips to get to the nearest clinic even before this law took affect. these barries add up. texas has a higher than average mortality rate for maternal women. maternal mortality rate increased most significantly in states that enacted the most restrictive abortion laws. abortion bans don't stop abortion. they just make it more difficult, expensive and dangerous for women to access the care they need. i'm joined by jennifer driver, the senior director of women's rights. the associated press reported yesterday that texas clinicians canceled some women's appointments monday after the fifth circuit rules that the law must be enacted. can you speak to the situation right now for the women who are experiencing this? >> absolutely. first of all, good morning to you. texas continues to just go the wrong direction on everything. obviously, most people heard of us when we started fighting against voting rights issues. now we're dealing with abortion issues in texas. you said it. it's not going to stop abortions. in

i was in dallas and 1997, i covered the death of an 11-year-old child then i moved to chicago, another 11-year-old child in that same year, she was black. the child in texas was white, and i watched how those cases were handled very differently so this inspired the case that jordan the character was following. i could never imagine exactly when this book was released you would go viral for repeating the words of someone we both admire grateful, grand eiffel. i thought to myself, we have to be kidding ourselves. i wrote a whole novel and you're going to act like you're surprised that this term a, exists and that we shouldn't all be concerned about it. so i have this character who is a character that i imagined i could or wished i could have been. jordan manning is speaking up in newsrooms i didn't speak up in. jordan manning is taking on a establishment that i did not because we know the consequences of that, right? you speak out, you ultimately suffer the consequence of being fired and so here jordan manning, this character i created much bolder than i was and far less apologize get ti

yeah, look, the important thing to know the context here in south lake, this a community right outside dallas that has been a ground zero town where the entire national fight over critical race theory, over how to talk about the history of racism and schooling really got its start. there it got started in 2018 when students chanted the "n" word. they tried to create a plan to address the racist issues. and then in 2020 in the wake of george floyd's murder, there is a massive backlash in the community. and consistently what i've found and my reporter co-host found this as we've covered this is that south lake was really ahead of almost every other town when it comes to these controversies that we're seeing at school board, when it comes to the fights we're seeing with the parents. so now we're seeing it coming to books in the classroom, educators confused over how to interpret the new plans, banning crt, what materials they can put in the classroom, this fight may go elsewhere. and that is what is really important here. south lake consistently has been ahead on these issues, these racial and c

timberview high school which is just outside of arlington, texas, a suburb, of course, of the larger area of dallas. police have identified the suspected gunman as 18-year-old timothy george simpkins. a search for the subject is under way. and he's considered to be armed and, therefore, dangerous. police briefed the public on the situation. they are confident the incident involved one student. the student was involved in a fight and drew a weapon. >> this is not a random act of violence. this is not somebody attacking our schools. this is a student -- we believe it was a student that got into a fight and drew a weapon. >> authorities say they're searching the school methodically. the all clear has just been given and students have been transported to a nearby reunification center. the severity of injuries of the hospitalized victims are unknown. >>> we're going to turn now to washington where the level of government dysfunction is hitting new heights if that's possible, or maybe we should say new lows, with the fate of the u.s. economy on the line. that's all. this hour, the president is meeting wi

larry and sandra's mom, toshie, knew little of this relationship, and on january 25th, 2006, were in dallas visiting their son when they got an odd call from sandra's boss. >> he said that she hadn't showed up for work, very unusual for her. >> hours later the phone rang again. it was 3:00 a.m. a time when bad news comes calling. larry's son answered the phone. >> and this is basically how it goes -- "hello," you know. "oh, hi," you know, "hi, cousin. no!" >>> coming up -- >> she was slumped to the right, to the passenger seat, facedown. >> who wanted sandra dead? >> from what we're told, he went ballistic. he just flipped out. >> when "dateline" continues. i s managing my moderate to severe crohn's disease. then i realized something was missing... ...me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there for her. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for people with crohn's disease. humira helps people achieve remission that can last. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to

now we're onto step four, dallas we have people like donald trump and others who are actually celebrating those who were responsible for the political violence, which is the most dangerous step of all because that, of course, is what encourages steps like january 6th. we hope, of course, that there are more people in the republican party and conservative politics who will speak up and say, no, wait, we're not comfortable with this and have to continue to denounce it. >> they're not doing that. >> right, they're not doing that at all, it's the opposite. that's what's so alarming right now. >> and i think one of the biggest worries is come 2024, if, in fact, the former president decides to jump back in, he's going to paint january 6th as heroes, right, going after what they believe was right, people being welcomed into the capitol, doors being held open for these individuals who just wanted to be in the building that they built, the taxes they pay for, to paint it like this versus what actually happened when you had people storming capitol building, lives lost, the lives of members of congr

the dallas major restored 275 new officers. no one is saying that you can't have funding to do more than one thing to police patrol and protect a community. there is evidence that continuing to fund the same system without reform at the federal level, without major state reform, without accountability in court, which is what everyone else is subject to except police in america, there is a lot of evidence that is not fixing our problems, it may be doubling down on them. there is a troubling reality here and it needs your attention. we'll be right back. t needs your attention. we'll be right back. are rethinking the choices they make like the splash they create the entrance they make, the surprises they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doct

this is a remarkable new story from "the dallas news." excuse me, from "the detroit news." republican party leaders across the battleground state of michigan quietly worked in recent weeks to replace incumbent county election officials with newcomers. some of whom have sought to undermine the public space of the 2020 vote. they focus on member canvassing boards. do you remember a couple weeks after the 2020 election there was a brief crazy moment in wayne county, michigan. that's the largest county in the state, that's where detroit is. and these are bipartisan boards. board of canvassers. the two republicans on the wayne county board of canvassers actually, initially voted against certifying the results of the presidential election in wayne county. you know, because there must have been all this fraud in detroit, right? the board of canvassers deadlocked saying they wouldn't certify. that means wayne county couldn't certify the results. president trump personally called the two republican members of that county board that night. and that was going to be this big very conse

similar scenes across the country from reno to nashville to dallas. >> they canceled twice. twice. twice they canceled. >> reporter: southwest apologized to customers saying the numerous cancellations were primarily created by weather and other constraints which left aircraft out of preplanned positions, pushing back that air traffic control staffing was the problem. they say no shortages have been reported since friday. industry experts believe there are several contributing factors. is it possible that some members of southwest and its pilots decided to sit this out because of the covid vaccine? >> there's something definitely aside from just atc and weather delays going on here. the unions have said no. the pilots are saying no. but the timing is strange very the head of the southwest pilot association responded to speculation that the recent erroll mandate is contributing to the chaos. >> how do you know is that's not related to what's happened in the last four days? >> because our sick rates are right in line with where they were this summer, so it is absolutely completely fal
