not like the insurrection now say it was a misunderstanding in the horror of that day and in the run-ups in the last year. when president trump threatened to run vehicles off the road in texas, when white nationalists planned to kidnap and brutally murder the governor of michigan. when right wing terrorists stormed the oregon state house armed with weapons of war, and now congressional republicans, even if they re internally opposed to the insurrection that threatened their lives, that forced them to cower in fear, these same legislators are content to use the disorder sown by the trump years to stay in power. that is why they killed the offer to investigate the insurrection before it even had a chance. that s why they re threatening to kill the voter protection legislation. but the gop lawmakers and the lawlessness being upheld by the republican lawmakers is the biden administration and its justice department which will be standing in the way with his leadership. joining me
news broke that federal investigators raided the home and office of the former presidents lawyer, rudy giuliani. as part of an ongoing investigation into giuliani s dealing with ukraine. you may remember that giuliani set himself the task of digging up dirt on the bidens in the ukraine, part of his effort to keep joe biden away from that podium tonight. he did not succeed. we ll have much more on that story ahead with one of the former presidents impeachment managers. congressman adam schiff. but first, it was a historic night. two women seated by the president for the very first time. and the joint address to congress. one of those being a woman of color. vice president kamala harris. the address was also unlike any other due to the ongoing pandemic. you can see it there in the shot. just 200 members of congress and officials attending. where they re usually 1600. they were seated apart from each other for social distancing purposes. but much else about tonight was familiar
made fun of a student who was in the midst of a shooting at the florida high school. my blood is boiling, absolutely not. she has no place on this committee. we deal with school climate. we deal with keeping school environments safe. someone who would even question the existence of mass shootings should not cannot legislate in good faith. she should not be on this committee. kevin mccarthy speaking to her is not sufficient for me. he should have never assigned her to this committee, and i will do everything in my power to make sure that she is not seated. coming up, everybody, in a moment, i m going to talk to nicole hackly who lost her son in the sandy hook school shooting which representative greene has suggested did not happen, as well as congresswoman debbie wasserman schulz. i want to be clear what we re talking about here by detailing some of the newly uncovered but now deleted social media posts by the georgia congresswoman who was appointed this week to the hous
legislatures, and only two have democratic governors arizona and kentucky. in both those states governors katie hobbs and andy beshear have attempted to counter trans health care bans by signing executive orders which carve out protections for minors within their state. in response to these bans, reliably liberal states such as california and new york have passed shield laws protecting access to transgender health care. but how many adults and youth identify as transgender in the us? according to the ucla school of law s williams institute, a research center on sexual orientation and gender identity law, there are about 1.3 million adults in the united states that identify as transgender. that s about 0.5% of the entire adult population, but about 1.4% of youth ages 13 17 identify as transgender the largest amount of all the age groups. for more on this, i spoke to us navy admiral rachel levine about transgender rights. she is the assistant secretary for health for the us
difficult for lgbtq+ people just to live. and yet, here we are. seeing the right of our community members diminish. their voices are silenced, they re very identities denied. our nation has made great strides with filling the fundamental promises of freedom and equality for lgbtq plus americans, but lately something has changed. the arc of progress is bending in ways we did not think possible just five years ago. unjust ways. so far this year, more than 520 anti lgbtq bills have been introduced in state legislatures. that is a record. more than 220 of those bills, specifically, targeted transgender and non-binary people. also a record. and an unprecedented 70 anti lgbtq laws have been enacted just this year. in the past, we have put together pride specials celebrating lgbtq+ individuals and their achievements, first in the white house and then on the stage and screen. achievements that deserve to be celebrated. but tonight, as that progress is threatened like never before, we
