after the break, a commitment from merritt garland, even with so much on the plate for the biden administration, they are vowing to protect voting rights in the midst of an all out assault by the republican party. that s next. asulsat by the republican party. that s next. there are beautiful ideas that remain in the dark.
she s been sounding the alarm for nine months. thousands of haitians have been passing through her country and she knows where they re heading, to our southern border. she warned the biden team repeatedly, they don t seem to want to listen is what she said. will 60,000 migrants make them pay attention. if it wasn t for our drone team, no one would have seen them under the bridge last weekend. judging by actions so far, i don t see adjustments. despite being tipped off, anthony blinken and mayorkas and merritt garland are waiting for the next week to take the trip to mexico. it doesn t look like they re going to address the border crisis or the root cause of the border crisis to begin with and the surge at our border. they re going talk about crime and violence in mexico. are there more pressing issues like the collapse of our border and where is vice president harris, why didn t she getting the invite to mexico to go on
state of texas. there s one part of the law raising a lot of eyebrows. how do you interpret the part of this law that enables private citizens to enforce the abortion ban? is that constitutional? i don t think it is. i think the entire law is unconstitutional and if we had a regular supreme court, it would have been overturned on the infamous shadow document. that s not what happened. they designed a law that they could sort soft look the other way. everybody could look the other way and pretend they weren t overturning roe v. wade and they could get away with it. merritt garland has done something important here in filing this lawsuit, the united states v. texas. not in a sneaky way, like they came, to try to play gamesman
