of any state in the country at 14,656. by the way, you obviously just heard my guest talking about the fact that s only a fraction of the rapes that are actually happening in the state. these are just the ones being reported. on top of that you have only 2,200 arrests of those over 14,000 reported. the other numbers we are looking at, a third of texans have experienced some form of sexual assault. one in three texans, estimated only 9.2% of rapes are reported in texas. nationally, only 2.5% of rapes result in incarceration. juliana, what are you telling the victims of rape who, in fact, are then impregnated by these people that assault them, that take advantage of them, that violate them now with this arcane law in place? it has been very difficult at every crisis center in texas
way to new york city for unannounced visits to meet with police officers and firefighters. this is only coming though after the former president used the occasion of 9/11 to launch a video attack on his successor on the day other former presidents used for somber reflection. we re going to get to more on that ahead. plus, new unhinged reactions from the right to president biden s new vaccine mandates. and the latest outraged response to the texas governor s comments about rape while defending his state s abortion law. plus, a look at what it is like to be muslim in american since 9/11. who has experienced islamophobia since 9/11? at one point a guidance counsellor said to my face, we don t we don t want your kind here. you have to leave. i was there to ask whether i should be in a.p. chemistry. more of that emotional discussion will be coming up
frequency than we saw from al qaeda wannabes and islamic state wannabes over the last two decades. the other thing for extremists is they have access to targets, they have access to weapons. they are not treated with the same sort of scrutiny you would from a foreign terrorist group. we don t have a domestic terrorist designation. it makes it difficult to police for these sorts of things. september 18th is a great example. we have seen discussions, particularly a couple of weeks ago, they waned as of late, political leaders are not as excited about september 18th now, such as cawthorn. but in state and local capitals around the country, these are small police forces. there s not a lot of security. you see different groups in the online space say, hey, we can t get to d.c. but we can get to cheyenne, wyoming or jefferson, missouri. they re picking locations closer
let s make something very clear. rape is a crime, and texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists. goal number one in the state of texas is to eliminate rape so that no woman, no person will be a victim of rape. all right. joined now by juliana gonzales the senior director of sexual assault services at safe, and christian ramirez, executive director of next gen america. i would like to start the next sector off by saying if the governor is right it would be amazing news. i don t think a single person wouldn t love this government to be right. i think the deployment is whether or not he is realistic and paying respect to so many victims in this country and around the world that have been sexually assaulted. with that, putting that out there, let me start first with the reaction that we got from vice president kamala harris.
the words that he spoke were the words that were to arrogantly dismiss concerns about rape survivors and to speak those words that were empty words, that were false words, that were fuelled with not only arrogance but bravado. that is not who we want in our leaders. i m sure any woman can understand the passion in the vice president s voice. juliana, i will start with you and want to get your reaction first to what the governor had to say. yeah. as you said, i think we all agree that eliminating rape in texas is a very worth while goal. certainly the work that we do every day. however, i get a little worried about the way he is screening the issue. i think it may it may not
