good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. you could ve gotten very rich over the past year and a half betting against the people who said we are beating covid, it s just around the corner. because here we are, still fighting it. but it can be beaten. we have the tools to do it. that may be obvious to some of you. seems crazy to others but covid can be beaten we. have lifesaving vaccines and we know wet mitigation efforts work and i think it s important to keep sight of all that, so we do not secure him to an unnecessary pessimism about where we are and where we can be as a nation. i thought of this is i was looking at this chart of covid deaths here in new york city. that enormous spike at the top of the chart over there on the left is the early weeks of the pandemic, back in the april 2020. it s when the virus first made its way over from europe. the u.s. east coast got european strain a new york got hammered almost as bad as anywhere in the world before or since. last
i m ayman mohyeldin. let s get started. i want to take you back to june 2020. to the supreme court had just overturned roe v. wade, striking down the constitutional right to an abortion in this country. the decision immediately left millions of americans without access to reproductive rights or reproductive care. in states where that care was protected, millions more wondered if it was just a matter of time until a federal ban would go into effect. some republicans feared and electoral disaster in the coming months were quick to throw cold water on that theory, claiming the court s decision would simply send the issue back to the states. effectively these gop lawmakers had a national ban on abortion, that would never happen here. is republican senator lindsey graham of south carolina, just last month. i ve been consistent. i think states should decide the issue of marriage and states should decide the issue of abortion. i have respect for south carolina. south carolina vote
