And, protect our dreamers and understand, we can do both, create Unearned Pathway to citizenship, and ensure our border is secure. We can do both and we must do both. Donald trump and his extremist allies will keep trying to pull us backward. We all remember what they did to tear families apart, and now they have pledged to carry out the largest deportation, a mass deportation, in american history. Imagine what that would look like and what that would be. New polls out today so that the race is still very tight in the swing states. The ones that count, with harris holding small leads that fall within the margin of error. Meanwhile today, more than 100 former national security officials who served in republican administrations as former congressional republicans signed a letter endorsing Vice President Harrison calling Donald Trump quote, unfit to serve. Her opponent spent the Day Campaigning in an unusual state for republican president ial nominee at this point in the campaign, New York. Trump and vance talked about the feds decision to cut Interest Rates, as well. The economy is very bad to cut it by that much assuming theyre not just playing politics, the economy would be very batter they are playing politics but that was a big cut. A halfpoint is not going to help those families a whole lot. Its better than nothing. The fact that the fed is going to give them a little relief in the midst of an election is nothing compared to the disaster that Kamala Harris policies of cost in this country. Just days after an apparent second Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump, false rumors spread online that explosives had been found in a car near trumps New York rally. Police said there was no truth to those stories and one of the people who spread the Lie Online is Donald Trump super Supporter And Owner of twitter now x, elon musk. Lets get smarter with the help of our Leadoff Panel tonight. Peter baker is here, nbc News Washington Correspondent sender and national political reporter for semaphore. Peter, lets start with you. I want to talk about the politics of this interest Rate Cut. What does it mean for the election and i want to remind our audiences Donald Trump and Jd Vance are saying this Rate Cut was political, the fed chair is Jay Powell who is been in that position since the Trump Administration and was appointed then. Yes, Jay Powell is not thought to be much of a political figure. As you rightly say, he has a Trump Appointee but doing this obviously in the fall of the Campaign Year inevitably is going to raise questions. I think what it says is that the fed believes it has basically beaten inflation, that it is time now to loosen up the money a little bit, keep the economy going well, provide funding for businesses that want to expand and make sure unemployment does not begin to rise with the tight money supply. What that means for the election, its hard to say. The truth is history shows that peoples opinions about the economy are not really related to numbers or facts that are presented in the newspaper. There related to what they see in their own lives and its so late in the cycle its hard to imagine people she is changing as a result of something like this but obviously it suggests that the economy at this point with relatively low inflation, low unemployment, relatively high Stock Markets is in relatively good shape. That does not mean there are not problems. One of the things a Rate Cut may do is help address the cost of housing, which is cramping a lot of young people who cannot afford to buy paces places to live but it wont necessarily change things in the next 58 days. Its awfully close to the election to change peoples attitudes. Except of course, Mortgage Rates are going down. Peter just said it. Affordable housing is a huge issue. The Rate Cut is going to help with mortgages. How does the Harris Campaign see this Rate Cut . What are they going to do with this because peter mentioned lots of very positive things, the economy is a very difficult needle to thread. It is certainly a difficult needle to thread and that is why we have seen Vice President harris when she was initially putting out her first set of policy proposals, she immediately made housing a central part of that, talking about the fact that she wanted to help people with a down payment, giving them 50,000 for down payments, firsttime homebuyers but also saying she wanted to work on trying to get corporate landlords to not be able to raise the rent and the way she believes they have been raising unfairly, so is there a push to explain to the american people what the Harris Administration would do to them. The other thing though, it is really a Vibe Election when it comes to the way people see the economy. A always interested in hearing how people see their middle Class Experience because you have people that are waitresses and who are sort of listening closely when former President Trump is saying he wants to pass some sort of policy for overtime would be taxed but the details of that are still very vague. You also have someone like Vice President harris is going after people who want to own homes and who also are Renting Apartments and are feeling the squeeze there so there is this real race to try to figure out who is winning on the economy. The polls show over and over again that americanstyle trucks still trust former President Trump on the economy that is when he was on a Tv Show that he is seen as a wealthy man who can handle the economy but Vice President harris is trying every day to chip into that in a way that will help undecided voters and voters in key Battleground States begin to trust her more. Yes, and he has become wealthier selling his supporters bibles and sneakers. Now he will have a Crypto Exchange and of course he has his own stock for his company that does nothing. These Battleground State polls are really tight. Any chance this Rate Cut could move things . It does fit into the Harris Campaigns overall narrative, which is that things have improved. They need to improve more. People need to have prices lowered in a tangible way. This is tangible. People are going to see the effects of this. This is why a course of conservative surrogates have complained about the timing of the Rate Cut. They are complaining because they think it will be beneficial to democrats. Donald trump has been combating this. He has the record of 2017 and 19, not 2020. He is also been making these promises that do not cost him in any way. He did it again in New York tonight, talked about capping Credit Card fees, hes talked about a series of Tax Cut. Hes talked about universal ivf paid for by the government or mandated for insurers. He keeps promising things that would decrease costs for a lot of americans who get tips in their wages and democrats have struggled to compete because theyre not just rolling it out ideas. Can i interrupt you . Theyre not struggling to compete. Donald trump is offering a new goodie in the new Tax Cut every day and has yet to articulate how and if it is going to get paid. While people might want to look at Donald Trumps term pre covid, saying the economy was strong, the deficits ballooned on the under Donald Trump and i know deficits are things people dont pay attention to anymore but they will when they are truly out of hand and you see the Bond Market crumble, so it is amazing that you just hear well, Donald Trump is offering all these things. Yesterday he said im going to cut your Car Insurance by 50 . How . He doesnt regulate that. Car insurance is run by the states, not the federal government, so democrats are competing with Donald Trump lying. I liked your post about that yesterday, truthful information on x. That is a nice twist to put some true truth on the website. It is not a struggle like their waking up and agonizing over it. It is one party in power saying there are tangible things we can do to change your Life And Mitt romney was not proposing a different idea every day that he thought might pull well but has not been tested and that is the contrast. Democrats can point to concrete things that are changing contrasted with trump ideas that are coming so Fast And Furious and are not coming with a plan to get through congress. Everyone who covers Congress Founds republican senators and house members saying the same things. Well gosh, i guess thats on the table. Its not an agonizing problem for democrats, it is how do you compete against the candidate that keeps proposing random ideas that sound great with no way to pay for them. One way you can is by saying look, the fed cut rates because we have beaten inflation. Its a very traditional message. Our policies have worked after a long time of striving. Look at how your rate is going to go down. Perhaps voters can think back to junior high Student Council elections. The person who offered no school on fridays and getting rid of the cafeteria for fast food, theyre not actually telling the truth. On top of Todays Letter endorsing harris that was fined signed by more than 100 republican officials, more than a dozen former reagan staffers also endorsed her, reagan. In the once house of the republican party, there was no higher strong one could sit on. I want to know what republican elected officials that you talked to, what do they say when endorsements like this happen . They obviously dismiss people like that is rhinos. That is the phrase President Trump uses, republicans in name only. It is true since trump came on the scene a lot of established republicans, people who have voted their lives, have left the party or at the very least broken with trump. They do not see in him the Second Coming of Ronald Reagan, they see somebody who has the opposite approach that Ronald Reagan had. Trumps antialliances, anti optimism, all of those things that were associated with Ronald Reagan and are not associated with trump. You do see a lot of republicans breaking away. Cheney is the most prominent one in recent weeks. It does say something about where the republican party is these days and is trying to figure out its own identity and people who used to be stalwarts are no longer welcome. Donald trump is trying to shut down democrats who are calling him a threat to democracy by trying to link that statement to the second apparent Assassination Attempt on his life. But, he is doing this while he is ramping up his own attacks on his opponents. What is the harris teams take . How are they going to handle this now that he is complaining about the rhetoric but he is only ramping up his. Its very interesting the Harris Campaign is not said much about this effort by republicans to paint them as the ones who need to tone down the rhetoric. Ive been talking to a number of democratic operatives who are familiar with the Harris Campaign and were talking to the Harris Campaign and what they tell me as this is really something they feel like its not going to stick. They do not feel like this has legs. They feel like republicans are really playing the game here and that they dont have a leg to stand on because all you have to do is roll the tape including after july 21st. You find videos of Donald Trump in using inflammatory language. Including videos for they say they shouldnt be calling him threats to democracy. He is actually condemning the language while actually echoing the same language. Dave, how complicated is this for Vp Harrison democrats because when they dont come out swinging, when they dont fight back, people accuse him of bringing a spoon to a knife fight. They dont swing at everything and if you have listened to the Vice President since she became the nominee she does not talk about trump as a threat to the democracy in the same way that biden does. She talks about defending freedom. Its been much more specific and if you look at the way republicans this week have highlighted the way democrats talk about trump, go back and read the models they have been putting out. Sometimes theyre saying what a democrat said about trump after January 6 saying he should be removed from office oh, that might be a violent piece of rhetoric that influenced the shooter. Theres really nothing there except a lot of Dust And Heat been thrown up to get democrats to stop talking about this and i think the most important thing here is a lot of people fought after the first Assassination Attempt that it would change the trajectory of the campaign. It was going to change Donald Trumps image of have a lasting effect on voters. The evidence we have seen so far, its playing a bit more like the attacks on Gerald Ford in 1975. He survived, it was grisly but it did not change the way people thought about Gerald Ford. It is not changed the way people think of Donald Trump. From the experience two months ago i hear republicans using a lot of Talking Points that got very stale very quickly in the summer and i think are even more stale right now. Thank you both for being here. Peter, im not letting you leave just yet because we need to talk about the developing is in lebanon. For a second day, lebanon was hit with a wave of deadly explosions of electronic devices. My Colleague Ralph Sanchez has those details. Reporter tonight, a second wave of explosions tearing through lebanon. Yesterday it was pages that belonged to Hezbollah Members. Today, it is walkietalkies detonating simultaneously according to lebanese state media. This blast at a Funeral Today for a Hezbollah Member killed in yesterdays bombings. The lebanese army blowing up one walkietalkie in a controlled explosion outside a hospital in beirut. Uranianbacked militants unable to stop what u. S. Officials tell Nbc News is a Fast Israeli Covert Operation to targeting hezbollahs personal and its communications network. Lebanons Health Ministry says at least 14 people were killed in Todays Blast on top of the 12 killed yesterday. Two of them, children in hospitals struggling with an influx of more than 3000 injured people. Doctors involved in treating the wounded in the Pager Tax that they suck many injuries to the face for people were looking directly at the device as well as to a side where it was clipped to a belt or in a pocket. Officials say is really agents planted tiny explosives inside the pages, which detonated after receiving messages that appeared to be from hezbollah leadership. Israel refusing to say if it was involved. Tonight, the Defense Minister says the war is moving to a new phase with troops shifting from gaza to the fight against hezbollah on the lebanon border. As israel vows to make it safe for thousands of civilians displaced by the fighting to finally return home. Peter, does this seem to be a Turning Point in the middle East Conflict . I dont know about Turning Point but its important to remember what raff is sailing, which is to say thousands of israelis have moved away from the northern border near lebanon because of hezbollah attacks on their civilian community. But they were trying to do here is find a way to get back at hezbollah without creating the same massive civilian damage we saw in gaza and that would escalate in a way that would create a whole second front in the war and also basically trying to get into Hezbollahs House a little bit. Now theyre going to be worried about any kind of devices they have. Theyre going to have to wonder whether or not the things strapped to their belt is actually a bomb against them. That is very effective psychological Warfare Tool here but i dont know if it will cause the Site Kind of Escalation Israel will have to worry about but we will see. This is a very volatile moment in the middle east. When we return, the federal reserve Changes Course and is for the first Rate Cut in four years. What this move could mean for the economy. Later, new revelations that the Trump Campaign continued to spread lies about haitian immigrants even after being told that they were not true. The 11th Hour just getting underway on wednesday night.

Xfinity internet customers, ask how to get a free 5g Phone and a second unlimited line free for a year. It has finally happened. As we mentioned earlier, today the federal reserve lowered Interest Rates by half a point so lets discuss with our go to economic expert. Stan nathan is Here And Now joins us, cnbc senior analyst. What are your thoughts on this move by the fed . It was partly anticipated. It was a little bit controversial. Expectations moved pretty quickly over the last week or so so really we can talk about this. I know you know this stuff but there was a 25 Basis Point Cut or 50 basis point, there is a term the feds like to use, the long invariable legs of changing policy. The Interest Rate they moved, [ inaudible ] that means that Mortgage Rates should come back down. Think about this. A few months ago a 30 Year Mortgage was 7 , now its below 6 so a lot of things are pegged to the feds fund rate. So a lot of consumers are happy to have lower Interest Rates. The one thing i will say is that it is really not going to move Credit Card rates and stuff like that, things that a lot of Consumer Spending is kind of built on right now. Im very happy that you finally got to that in your answer. Run, what is your take . One, the Halfpoint Cut was expected and i think the fed did what it shouldve done with respect to inflation coming down, the Labor Market we kinking a little bit and reflecting the victory over inflation. Or they may have defeat from the jaws of victory is that J Paul and his News Conference that theyre going to go meeting by meeting now. Theyre not just going to go on the path of consistently lowering rates so if Interest Rates approximate the Inflation Rate which is where Interest Rate policy should be overtime and i think that is what messed up the market for a little while. The futures are up about 220 points so i think theyre rethinking everything the fed had to say with the expectation that they will keep cutting rates until they are neutral. Donald trump was speaking today in New York with less than 50 days to go before this election and he has somehow decided that New York is in play and when he was there in Long Island he was talking about reinstating the Salt Deduction, state and local tax. He was talking about it in Long Island. I will cut taxes for families, small businesses and workers including restoring the Salt Deduction saving thousands of dollars for residents of New York, pennsylvania, New Jersey and other high cost states. Jobs in factories will pour back into New York. I know how to do it better than anybody has ever known how to do it. Wages will soar. The cost of living will fall and i will deliver the greatest economy in the History Of The World to our country. Let us not forget he is the one who kept salt when he was president so besides the people who were tearing at his rally, do people believe him when he is making pledges like this . I got it in 2016 he had never been in politics. He was the straight shooter who is going to bring Business Acumen to politics but nine years and after what he did which was cut taxes for corporations and deregulate and that is what he will potentially do again when he gets up there and talks about were going to bring s. A. L. T. Back, do people even know he is the one who kept it . For the last two weeks every day hes talking about a new taxcut for a new group of people. You and ask him if hes using an acronym like that because a lot of people dont know what it means. I guess my point is as he said, his New York in play for him . Its not. When you think about Wall Street though you think about the folks who do believe him that he will be regulating lower corporate taxes and that is the Donor Class when you think about it. He thinks is going to cut their taxes, too so that is probably the most important to him, the signaling about the deregulation and cutting taxes. It is not really for the folks standing behind him with those goofy signs. Of Course Regulation is not all good or all bad. It is smart regulation. You want blanket regulation, bring back payday lenders, who theyre going to hurt the most is some of Donald Trumps most loyal supporters. With respect to the state or local Tax Cap put in place by Donald Trumps Taxcut Program it would cost and this is according to the biden administration, 1 Trillion over the next 10 years to lift that cap entirely again so in a blue state like New Jersey or New York or california for Property Taxes can be high or State Income taxes can be high you to get an enormous break if you can deduct all of that on your taxes, which he used to be able to do up until 2017. Having said that, it is costly and would add to the deficit. I want to make a point about deregulation. When you think about all the financial deregulation we had in the 90s and 2000s, think about what happened with the global financial crisis. The risks they were taken almost brought down the global economy so we think about that. You say to yourself how much deregulation should we do . When we got to covid if we had the level of deregulation we had leading up to the financial crisis we could not have had a depression so a lot of folks are thinking about what the fed is doing right now and theyre saying well, theyre going to mess it up like they did four years ago. Four years ago they acted very quickly to lower Interest Rates so the Economy And Credit did not seize up and the government started with the fiscal stimulus, all the other things to keep things moving, the ppp, that sort of stuff. We avoided one of the biggest financial calamities in the face of a black Swan Event that something will use and for finance. No one could have seen that coming. I think the fed is doing a very good job right now. Whether it is 50 or 25 doesnt matter. What they are signaling here is that we are not going to let the economy go into recession if we can help that. Here is what i need you to do for us, run. It seems like politicians have grown to believe that the american people dont care about the deficit anymore and largely they might be right and it is not just republicans. It is democrats, too. Every day i have a new taxcut in this Tax Cut. Nobodys talking about what really happens to the economy when the deficit balloons. Can you educate us . Well, there is the risk that the following happens. Number one, people stop buying u. S. Treasury bonds because they are afraid the u. S. Cannot pay back its debts. Interest rates would spike, the dollar would crash, the economy would go into recession. The reality is that given that the u. S. Is a reliable borrower relative to say, china, whose debt to Gdp Ratio was over 250 , italy, france and spain near 100 , we are a better bet than most other countries, so we are not likely to have that crisis. The risk however is that when you start to see the Debt Service burden, the Interest Rate payments on that Debt Top1 Trillion is they are doing now and moving ahead of the Defense Budget it crowds out other spending that wouldve otherwise be put to more productive uses so at the moment thats the real problem. Im not sure we will have a crisis. I would bet that China Or Japan has a bigger problem in that regard than we do. I have a problem because ive run out of time and i really wanted to talk about Donald Trumps new Crypto Exchange is here what you guys think about it. Its another drift. Its a super graph. Thank you both. When we come back, the mayor of Springfield I Cant believe we are still talking about this but we have to because the mayor has a message for Donald Trump about visiting his citys new reporting debunks the lies even further. You know why we keep talking about it . Because trump keeps pushing the lies deeper and things are only getting worse when the 11th Hour continues we are going to dive in. Tinues we are going to dive in. The mayor of Springfield Ohio searching Donald Trump to abandon his plans to visit the city saying it will be an extreme strain on their resources. Trump and Jd Vance of course of spent days spreading lies about haitian migrants was settled in springfield legally, triggering Bomb Threats and forcing schools and City Buildings to evacuate him close. But, despite the mayors request, tonight Donald Trump told supporters in New York is going to springfield anyway. Watch this. Im going to springfield and im going to aurora. You may never see me again but thats okay. Got to do what i got to do. Whatever happens to trunk . Well, he never got out of springfield. Lets bring in msnbc senior political analyst matthew dowd. He is a former george w. Bush strategist and former Democrat Congressman lamb of pennsylvania. Connor, immigration could be a winning topic for Donald Trump. There are actual problems, but hes not talking about any of them or addressing them in a constructive way. No, it tells you a lot. I guess he doesnt have anything to say. He wont bother to learn the issue or talk about what he would do but i think this whole thing is a shell game. You know, what happens to a when his railing about springfield and aurora. His own party can even pass a bill in the House Of Representatives to fund the government, to do the most basic task of their constituents and alerted the, to just keep the lights on for all the agencies in the country. They dont have a plan so if you dont have a plan one thing i guess he decided to do was just go around and keep picking on people who Cant Speak for themselves and get a lot of attention doing it. That is what his presidency is going to be like if you vote for this guy so i think he is hurting himself but he doesnt have anything else to say. Matthew, the Wall Street journal reports that the Trump Campaign went with the lies about migrants eating pets, even though the campaign was told by City Officials that they were false. Nbc news asked events spoke person about this report and you know what he did . He accused the media of ignoring immigration issues. What is your reaction to that . This whole issue i dont know actually what is worse. Its hard to identify there are so many worse elements of this, i dont know if it is worse that they know its a lie and they keep repeating it and they know by repeating it they endanger peoples lives, so theyve been told its a lie. They repeat the lie. Theyve been told its going to hurt people. They repeated anyway so that is one aspect. The other aspect of it is this, and i know it has been part of our history on the dark part of our history but this idea of blaming immigrants for every single problem that confronts somebody in america and Donald Trump and Jd Vance using immigrants. I mean, my ancestors i dont know where yours came from, but mine came from ireland and they faced the same kind of language back in the 1840s and 1850s. German immigrants, asian americans, latinos, african americans, all these groups have faced this exact same language throughout the history of our country and here we are in the 21st century and Donald Trump and Jd Vance are doing the exact same thing that went on in the 1800s and early 1900s, so i dont know what is worse, being told its a lie and they keep repeating it or basically accusing anybody are using anybody that has a problem in pointing out an immigrant that doesnt look like them as the cause of that problem. Connor, bernie moreno, that is the name our audience doesnt know, that is the Gop Candidate for senate in ohio, said yesterday that the legal status of these immigrants should be revoked besides the fact that he is an immigrant himself, why would their legal status be revoked . They are here legally and they have not done anything wrong. Probably because they are black, to be honest. I Cant Think of any other reason that this particular group is drawing the scrutiny of bernie moreno, who i think is never going to be a u. S. Senator so hes not going to ever be held to account for these kind of things but what is revealed in your questions, steph, that i want to make sure the audience gets is like even if you were the biggest Trout Fan in the world like even if you worked on his campaign, this is a really stupid thing for them to be doing. It just shows they are across theboard incompetent, which theyre going to carry into the government with them if they get elected. This is not an effective way to talk about one of their key issues. It turns people off in 1 Million different ways, that Jd Vance started the name of the woman who started this rumor to the Wall Street journal and they drove to her house and it turned out she still had her pet. Not only did she still have her pet, when she thought he couldve been taken by a neighbor in fact, the pet was in her house in the basement. Heres the thing, though. These immigrants did not fall upon springfield because they were watching seasons of the simpsons back in haiti and other countries. They came to springfield because the state, the city employers worked with the government to say we have got this huge labor shortage. How are we going to fill these jobs . That is how they ended up there. Matthew. I mean, that is the thing, as connor knows completely. That is the thing about immigration to our country. The reason we have a sustained, deep, broad economy is primarily driven by immigration. The reason we have recovered faster than every European Country in the aftermath of covid is because we have had sustained immigration to our country to fill jobs to do the work and provide the necessary resources that our country needs. The entire history of our country from the 1780s until today is a history of immigrants coming here, not only inventing things, changing the nature of the landscape in providing so much for us, but basically immigration built the economy we enjoy as americans. My goodness, gentlemen. Thank you for making us smarter. And, doing something we should all do every day, just tell the truth. When we come back, call just tell the truth and then we can debate policy. Everyone is allowed to have their opinion but when we return a Call To Action to protect reproductive rights.

More than 20 states in the country now restrict Abortion Or Bandit entirely living survivors of or Incest Rape or incest behind. Our next guest is a survivor and she is sharing her story with the world in a powerful ad for the Harris Campaign. I have never slept a full night in my entire life. I was five years old when my stepfather abused me for the first time. I just felt like i was alone on the planet with a monster. I was 12 when he impregnated me. I just remember thinking, i have to get out of my skin. I cant be me right now, like this cant be it. I did not know what to do. I was a child. I didnt know what it meant to be pregnant at all. But, i had options. Because Donald Trump overturned roe v. Wade, girls and women all over the country have lost the right to choose, even for rape or incest. Donald trump did this. He took away our freedom. Hadley default joins me now. She is a reproductive Rights Advocate and Harris Campaign circuit. You are one extraordinarily brave woman, hadley. Why did you decide to share your experience with the world . The day after roe v. Wade was overturned, i will cope with the harsh reality of, i might have survived my trauma, but my Story Isnt over, and no matter what, i will always be a survivor and i just could not imagine what those little girls and women were going through who dont have the options. What would your life look like today if you did not have row when you were 12 . I could potentially have a 10yearold of my stepfather, who raped me, and that is so unimaginable. You know, i truly dont think i would be here today and i say that in so much honesty and you know, i am truly living a life that i used to pray for and that is just kind of why you feel like you have to speak up for the voiceless. I want to share something with you that Rosie Perez said to our colleague, nicolle wallace, a few days ago on this very subject. You think about republics and saying well, im worried about my money. You should be worried about your money because if that man goes into office is going to pick up the tab . You dont like paying for welfare now . Honey, just wait. Who will pick up the tab if women and girls who are unprepared, who are unable are forced to carry pregnancies they cannot afford . Definitely not the man, you know. The women in the girls pick up that tab just like always, and just like we are now fighting for reproductive freedom, there are women who are dying because of this and there are still people who will try to say no, there is not, and that is just so unimaginable to think that those families are sitting at home knowing that this is causing death and you know, they dont want that to happen to anybody else. Nobody wants this. To know that there is still such a negative look on women because we want our freedom and we want our rights is really so sad and we would be the ones left paying the tab. Do republicans ever address the consequences of these bands, young girls who might lose their housing, might have to leave school, might not be able to work, leaving them no way to support or take care of themselves or possibly their new babies . Do republicans ever talk about who was going to care for them in that way . Who wouldve cared for you when you were 12 and 13 years old . Where would you have gone . If i wouldve had somewhere to go i wouldve went there and that is why republicans are not even republicans you know, its not about what party youre in. It is maga and it is so heartbreaking because you know, it is not as simple as oh, fight at the State Level. I tried. I tried in the kentucky legislator, they held the bill, they stalled it and they chose not to hear me out. How heartbreaking so maybe they will hear me at the national level. I dont know, we will see. I dont know, a lot of people in kentucky did hear you. You were put on the stage because you are in an ad for current kentucky governor andy beshear, a democrat, who republicans in your state say he won his race thanks to your contribution. How does it feel to know that your bravery has made this kind of a difference . You just said to me i tried on the State Level and i can help. You well did. I got through to the residents of kentucky. I got through to the voters, but i could not get through to the republicans who had the power to implement those exceptions for Rape And Incest because right now in kentucky, there are survivors of Rape And Incest carrying pregnancies to term with no options and that is because they would not hear a bill out to at those exceptions and you know, being able to now speak out so loudly and just so those young girls and women know that they are not without a fighter because i will always be fighting for them.
