you grew up in mississippi? >> i grew up in evers, mississippi on a farm. >> now you and i were really blessed to be raised around our grandmothers. >> yes. >> who gave us that inheritance of cuisine. what do you say are the key parts of what makes a plate of food like this is mississippi? >> mississippi food identity to me is eclectic. the soul is there. we have french techniques. honestly, i taste trinidad flavors, but it's so many eclectic bites and bits about this whole plate of food right here that i completely love. i know i'm in mississippi. >> mr. d is well-known for his fried chicken. but man, these pigs feet are the real deal. i rarely have had them this good outside of my grandmother's kitchen. at what point do you have to say you know what? i really want to focus on the food i was raised on and cooking that? >> you know, when i started getting outside of mississippi and started cooking my food and letting mississippi ingredients travel with me, i had no idea that mississippi was, you know -- >> that

decide i'm going to be a comedian. >> in mississippi. >> in mississippi. walk me through that process. >> there is a place called sweet 106. and there was a comedy show. while the other comedians were up there and i started getting chill bumps. and i swear, a guy poked me sounded just like barry white, you can do this. >> i would love to have a god with a voice that sundayed like barry white. this isn't uber traditional southern. it plays on it. >> one thing, it's good, period. >> it's good. >> what's your perception on sort of the difference between how people perceive mississippi versus what you know as someone born and raised here and has a lot of roots here? >> i think people believe the narrative instead of actually coming here and developing their own reality. >> and what's that narrative? >> that we are obese, uneducated racist people. >> do you feel an obligation to be a cheerleader? do you sort of go around mississippi explaining people you know what i mean? >> yeah. when i moved to new york, the first thing roy wood jr. told me is don't change. k

money, mississippi. this is where emmett till whistled. this is where the building was at the time of the murder in august, 1945. the years have not been kind to bryant grocery. before i tell you the story i just want to click through some images. this is the building in the 80s, 90s, but. it was hurricane katrina that took the roof of bryant's story and i portion of its north wall. and the roof. this is the winter of 2018, this is one of my favorites from 2011. if you remember that sign i showed you at the beginning, the one was scrubbed with acid. i told you that sign claims that this building is ground zero of the civil rights movement. isn't it a little odd that the building marked a ground zero of the civil rights movement would be allowed to fall into ruin? it didn't just happen that way. it was intentional. this is the story, how grounds euro of the movement fell into ruin. now although you cannot tell by looking, in 2011 in the town of money, that is the name of the town, it's that we are town. m

mississippi has a trigger law in place, it was passed in 2007. that trigger law will go into effect if the draft opinion, which has been a bit of a bombshell this entire week, from a national conversation and political discussion, but, yes, our trigger law will go into effect. it does have an exception for rape. it does have an exception for the life of the mother. >> as this country saw before 1973,ing banning abortion does not actually end abortion. it causes girls and women to seek out methods that are not as safe to end their pregnancies. methods that in the past resulted in mutilation or even death. now, mississippi, according to your state department of health, has about 3,500 abortions a year. has the state done any analysis of what the state thinks will happen to those women and girls if this law goes into effect, how many unwanted pregnancies will result in deliveries, how many will result in women and girls dying because they seek out unsafe methods? have you done an analysis that way? >> well, that's a great question, jake. and i reall

i'll speak to mississippi governor tate reeves. >>> battle cry. democrats vow to fight for abortion rights. >> this is a life or death moment and we need to fight like it is. >> but will the court's decision affect how americans vote this november? democratic senator kirsten gillibrand joins me to discuss ahead. >>> plus, proxy war? russia is set to celebrate victory day with signs putin could escalate his war strategy as reports suggests the u.s. is going further to help ukraine. i'll speak to the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, linda thomas-greenfield in moments. >>> good morning, i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is on the brink of a very different america. the nation is still reacting to this unprecedented leak from the u.s. supreme court revealing a draft majority opinion on a mississippi abortion case that would overrule the landmark 1973 ruling, roe v. wade. the majority draft was written by justice alito and supported by four other justices, according to politico which broke the story. while not final, the s

it's a weird town money, mississippi the town of money in 2011 was the beneficiary of a 206,000 mississippi civil rights historical sites grant the grant went not to bryant's grocery and meat market the only site in town with the civil rights history. rather it went to ben roy's service station. a long shuttered house and canopy style gulf station that sits precisely 67 feet south of the crumbling grocery because bryants was crumbling. and because ben roy's had a covered portico the grant application reasoned. the gas station had become a default lecture site from which tourists could gaze at the grocery and learn their civil rights history the application put its case for civil rights dollars like this, and i'm reading now. quote it is very likely that the events the transpired at bryant's grocery were discussed. underneath the front canopy. of the adjacent gas station and quote and with nothing more than that the mississippi department of archives and history gave $200,000 earmarked for civil rights to the restoration. of ben roy's the restoration was completed in 2014 and it is beautiful

host: what does the mississippi law do? >> the law would ban abortion. mississippi asked the court to take up the case and after justice barrett was confirmed to the court, mississippi asked the court go even further and explicitly overturn roe. host: has the court ruled on any of the abortion cases it has heard? >> it has ruled on that texas case about whether abortion is a constitutional right's. whether this texas law, there was a way to challenge that and block it before it went into effect. the court dealt with that on an emergency basis and they essentially said there is not a way you can challenge that law. there was another kentucky case that was even more of the procedural question regarding whether the attorney general could take over the state's defense of its abortion law. host: could the justices decide to completely overturn roe v. wade? >> if all they do is uphold the mississippi law, at a minimum they're going to cut the basis of road which said up until the point of fetal viability, states can't restrict abortion or place an undue burden

do i support the mississippi 15 limit, yes. every one of those things is a gain. >> do you think there should be exceptions for rape and incest in every state? i'm asking do you want every single state. >> we're not going to have every state. we're going to have a debate in every single state, 30 state cans move immediately to build consensus to make its way into the law and we'll see where that lands. but what i think is really important for you to acknowledge that the position of the other side and governor hogan who thinks he might be the president and the republican nominee, that that is insane. because anybody who embraces abortion up until the end and thes tox payers to pay for it is not a viable candidate. i think democrats are going to start to see this at the polls. they have in the last several elections. it's not true in any way that the abortion issue has in any way diminished the party. it brings our teams across the country are the people bringing that middle america -- >> just to be clear, people are support late

one of three mississippi children live in poverty. if you order women to stay pregnant, that's what it will do, order women to stay pregnant, you're talking about providing resources while they're pregnant. what are you going to do for the child after they're born, what are you going to do for the mother? are you, again, i look back at mississippi's numbers here. child poverty is already at a level that to me should be unsustainable, why should we believe that you're going to provide the resources for these women if they have these babies? >> look, chuck, it's a fair question and one that what i want you to know, when i was sworn into office in the middle of january of 2020 in the inaugural address, i made it very clear that my job as governor is not to try to hide our challenges, not to try to hide our problems but to find solutions to those problems and that's what we're going to continue to do. it's the reason i just mentioned that we are investing $100 million in technology for our department of child protection services. there's

>> in mississippi. >> my name is missy jones. my title is a visiting a of history at mississippi college. >> -- >> almost 15 years now, if i think back. >> what is this? >> this is johnson milling company. it's been here for ages. but right behind it is the location of the old train depot, and the thought was that we would put the marker for the clinton riot here because of the importance of the train. >> the clinton riots began on september 4th, 1875, and the direct behind me tells a virgin of those events. the original train depot is where white paramilitary units flocked into clinton. there was a political valley, and it was one of the first times that african americans had gotten together to really listen to political candidates, and it was organized by the republican party. but there was also a group of white democrats who where they are to disrupt things. shooting out african american families began to flee the scene, even one mother left her child in hollow of a tree just for protection. and over the course of the next sev

the mississippi governor said to the press yesterday that we cannot rule out the idea that mississippi would ban contraception. the underpinning of ro from an overly -- of roe from a legal standpoint, that is a decision that some justices when they are testifying before the senate have said it is a settled law, but why this would be a settled law under roe is hard to say at this point. >> let's hear from the independent line. >> good morning. what i would like to say is that the u.s. flag seems to be broken -- the wind is blowing hard, but i am a vietnam veteran. i do not understand why the flags are not flowing correctly. >> at the u.s. capitol? >> yes. >> we turned around to look at the capital route, but they are looking fine. here is springfield, virginia. the independent line. >> good morning, greg. >> you're on the air, go ahead. go ahead with your question or comment. >> i am going to try to be really calm about this. i have been listening to this concern about this draft since it came out. i am a nurse. my working experience has been -- i have to tell you i have been on the sid

with that, we bring in governor tate reeves of mississippi. his case led to the case and then the leaked draft opinion. thanks for joining us today. i'd like to start by playing this sound bite from lori lightfoot, the mayor of chicago that echo's kathy hochul's statements. >> look around chicago. we have a number of states that have the so-called trigger laws that would ban abortions upon the reverse of low. chicago will be an oasis in the midwest. we have to be ready. >> governor, you heard david lee miller's report. how many people would travel across state lines for abortion. would you travel for abortions over state lines? >> thanks for having me on. that's a conversation that i can't imagine a mayor of a city or governor of a state trying to make their place and oasis to have people come there to abort unborn children. that's the distinction that must be made. when you're talking about abortions, there's an unborn child in that woman. an urn born american citizen. it's mind boggling to me that these politicians would say this. i think th

mace: i yield five minutes to the gentleman from mississippi, mr. trent kelly, the sponsor of the bill. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized mr. kelly: i rise in support of h.r. 207, renaming the post office in amory, mississippi, for sergeant major lawrence "rabbit" kennedy. rabbit is an american hero and i'm proud to sponsor this legislation in his nontore. rabbit enlisted in the united states army in october of 1940 to do so he walked for two days from his hometown of smithville to tupelo he served in world war ii, the korean war and the vietnam war over the course of 35 years in the united states army. there were not a lot of three-war veterans in our lifetimes and he was a true hero and i'm plowed to have known him personally. rabbit's accounts of world war ii battles are features of the 2014 book "last eyewitnesses: world war ii memories." he fought in the battle of the bulge where he spent nine days in a foxhole nokes a dead german soldier rm command sergeant major kennedy led the first calvary division in vietnam and a photo

guest of mississippi. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to house resolution 1097, the gentleman from mississippi, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes mr. guest from mississippi. mr. guest: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. guest: my amendment would sunset the requirements of h.r. 903 at the end of the fiscal year 2022 if congress does not appropriate sufficient funds to carry out the bill. with h.r. 903 having an estimated cost to taxpayers of nearly $2 billion, or $8 billion if you use t.s.a.'s own estimates, it is critical that the bill does not simply become an astronomical unfunded mandate. this bill -- this amendment will remove this bill's requirement to move t.s.a. to title 5. if sufficient funding is not appropriated specifically for those requirements. this will protect our critical homeland security missions like cybersecurity and border security from being raided to pay for this

so nrcs is working on a variety of projects in mississippi. my staff will be able to give you a list of the projects that were identified in the 47.8 million. we are working on, for example, a big project with madison county on a streambank erosion issue. we know that a lot of the sediment issues and mississippi are not a result of you losing your topsail. it's result of the banks basically eroding and overtime creating some challenges. so i think you're going to see significant activity in this space in mississippi because of the money and resources that have been provided to the appropriations process and to the infrastructure law. >> wonderful. appreciate that answer. and i have got a few seconds left. rural communities across u.s. we will always be faced with these weather-related challenges and i was pleased that the fy 2023 budget request for usda included the wfpo funding in it as well. should congress provide funding to address project or watershed specific challenges to the wfpo and fy '23, how confident are you that the nrcs can put

which is really important to a state like mississippi. like many rural communities and landowners across the country mississippi and its people have been hit particularly hard in recent years by excessive rainfall. flooding and other problems caused by natural disasters. the watershed and flood prevention operations program has been invaluable in allowing small towns to recover from these events and importantly oto prepare for the next one because we know the next one will be coming as well . in early june 2021, many parts of mississippi experienced just unprecedented rainfall. some receiving more than 12 inches of rain in less than 12 hours. my office was getting phone calls all day and videos during that time .and as you might expect it caused severe flooding and the roads and bridges and dams and levees and everything that such an event as that would cause thousands of mississippi were affected and millions in damages occurred. fortunately we have programs like watershed and flood prevention operations administered by and rcs but becau

the mississippi law process -- prohibits abortions after 15 weeks. it leaves months to obtain an abortion. the court struck the law down. it didn't matter that the law applies when an on born child is undeniably human, and when the abortion is brutal. because the law prevents abortions, it is unconstitutional no matter what. the holding to those cores is that people can protect an unborn girl's life when she can barely survive outside the wound not any earlier when she needs a little more help. that is not the world the constitution promises. the constitution places its trust and its people. the people make this country work. when an issue affects everyone, it belongs to the people. roe and casey have failed but the people if given a chance will succeed. this court should overrule roe and casey and uphold state law. >> general stuart, you focus on the right to abortion, prudence seems to focus on simony and privacy. does it make a difference on privacy or autonomy or more specifically on abortion? >> whichever one of those you are focusing on, partic

in mississippi, we have the sixth oldest regiment the mississippi rifles. for over 250 years, brave americans have answered the call to service to protect our home left-hand, democracies abroad and conduct support. our reservist and guard members bring a skill set to our armed forces leveraging their experiences from the civilian work force to bring an innovative perspective to our national defense. guard and reservists are deployed across the broad mission set whether it is civil unrest, defending our borders, providing relief from hurricanes as well as responding to the covid-19 pandemic. i will tell you the guard did a yeoh man's work in the covid and building testing sites, by giving back to nations and we would not have gone as smooth without our guard. the mississippi national guard has four combatant commands around the world. during the pandemic, they activated 1700 servicemembers that administered 760,000 vaccinations, 220,000 tests and processes 109,000 lab samples. our professionals traveled 660,000 miles to deliver pieces personal protective equ

mississippi is known as a trigger state. if the supreme court does overturn roe v wade, it will implement a law banning almost all abortions, but there will be exceptions, so what these protesters call their work, their calling, will continue. once this is gone, they are going to move right up the food chain with all of the things that we value, evangelical christians don't like. this is the beginning, not the end. abortion, contraception, gay marriage, equality, all of these things they are looking to get rid of and they will tell you that themselves. so there is a 50 state strategy for them to get rid of all these things. pro—choice campaigners say it is people here in mississippi's poor communities that will suffer. in the united states, we have medicaid which is government health care, and we were supposed to extend it for postpartum mothers for up to a year after pregnancy. that was raised in the legislature this session, it had bipartisan support from both pro—life and pro—choice factors. but it was killed by the

yes meet mississippi joe and see how he's making a difference for decades. decades. just very important. she's my sister and we depend on each other a lot. she's the rock of the family. she's the person who holds everything together. it's a battle, you know. i'm going to be there. keytruda and chemotherapy meant treating my cancer with two different types of medicine. in a clinical trial, keytruda and chemotherapy was proven to help people live longer than chemotherapy alone. keytruda is used to treat more patients with advanced lung cancer than any other immunotherapy. keytruda may be used with certain chemotherapies as your first treatment if you have advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer and you do not have an abnormal “egfr” or “alk” gene. keytruda helps your immune system fight cancer, but can also cause your immune system to attack healthy parts of your body. this can happen during or after treatment and may be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, diarrhea, severe sto

virginia helped him write a letter to his wife back in mississippi. they have small, charming, insignificant conversations for five days. colonel burke lingers in this house behind me. as you are looking at it, it is the second story, and i believe it is the second window from the right. that bedroom is where colonel erasmus are burke lays for his final hours. eventually, he does pass away from his wounds and he is at least at that time accompanied by friends that he has made here in virginia. this death affects virginia miller greatly. it affects many people across the south greatly. balls bluff, if it happened later in the war, it would barely be a skirmish. we are talking handfuls of men when you compare it to bigger battles like gettysburg. in 1861, it is the biggest thing that has happened since first manassas. it does make a big difference, it makes an impact in the lives of the people here in loudoun. there is a funeral procession, taking his body down to the train station. the regimental band plays. and once his body arrives in jackson, there

where access is already limited. >> i think it's going to be detrimental to the women of mississippi. i think it's a shot in the face. it's just like, bam, to women of color especially that the majority of what we're seeing here. i think it affects them more than any other race, and i think it's done purposely because it affects them. every time something goes on, every time women of color get something that makes them more equal, then it or something else is taken away. these people, they want to control everything with all women, they want to control women, period, but women of color are the ones that will be most affected by it. >> according to the kaiser family foundation people of cole knorr mississippi comprise 44% of the population but 821% of the people receiving abortions in the state. if the court overturns overturns roe, these women, often poor, will have a hard time traveling to another state to terminate a pregnancy and it will become more difficult where all states have a ban an abortion. take, for example, louisiana. there's a trigger law there that will ban all aborti

and then we just what we had we will share mississippi has a large fan club. this is just a few of them who wanted to share what he means to them. he's always had that that attitude of just giving free spirit just constantly giving the sincerityness that he has the love that he has for the community. we've all been blessed, mississippi joe's hospitality is not limited to produce he's brought over gumbo and all that's yeah cooking. he's done. so he's just never he's making me sharing it. he has touched the lives of three generations. i remember my children were really little and he'd come bring my mother fresh vegetables. and he said do you want to know where these come from and he brought my children over here and i was enamored mississippi even helps neighbors with their yard work at age 72. he shows no signs of slowing down, but the garden does take work begin a little go out there and do that. so maybe a couple more years his family has grown up. he has one grandson and a granddaughter on the way. this former school custodian is proving acts of kindness can

you think that is what the will hold in mississippi or will mississippi voters and the legislature go further and ban it all together? >> they possibly could. the whole nexus of our argument was a rule of law question. this would always be returned to the states. every state should make a decision on how they would like to handle their abortion policy making issue. it's a rule of law question. they can each decide on their legislators if they're not happy with them, they can remove them by the ballot box. we know that will be different in every state. some states will codify abortion. some will have stricter regulations. that will be an issue. that is democracy at work. we anticipate that will happen in each state. again, our argument as well as the rule of law was always about the mission of empowering women and promoting life. >> martha: the case in mississippi is dobbs versus jackson women's health. it is whether or not it will uphold a ban after 15 weeks of pregnancy. lynn fitch, attorney general in mississippi. thanks very much, lynn. good to see you. >> good to see you, too. >>

generals, john, pemberton and mississippi braxton bragg in chattanooga. they were good generals, but they were decidedly second cheer. albertsoni johnston was viewed as a first-year general. we really don't know how good or bad. he was grant beat him too quickly. and then he died at shiloh. but lee is obviously the best that confederacy has lee's stature and reputation are towering dominating. the his soldiers had very high morale. they really don't believe he can be defeated. they don't believe they can be defeated. this is going to be stand them in good stead and they are quite good and lee has put together quite a bit of a winning team one advantage that lee has had and putting together a winning team with the army of northern virginia. is that lean knows how to handle jefferson davis and when lee once an officer transferred out of my army, this guy's not getting the job done. davis will let him do it now lee. lee has to do it right lee has to use some tact and some finesse, but he knows how to do that and he can get it done and so lee has the team tha

mississippi's governor is not ruling out a ban on birth control and the morning-after pill. louisiana republicans are working on a bill to allow prosecutors to charge women getting abortions with murder. can these things actually happen? would the constitution allow that? >> yes. if this opinion becomes the law of the land, then it would be possible for states to make abortion completely illegal. not even only at 15 weeks, but even from the moment of conception. and by the way, conception is when we talk about the joinder of's perm and big -- sperm and egg. there are some methods that prevent the early embryo from implanting in a woman's uterus. so a contraceptive that prevents implantation of the embryo in a woman's uterus, they are saying we think that is a method of abortion, so we will prohibit it. that would be constitutional. kristen: what about for states like california that really believe in expanding even abortion rights? could that ever be touched in the sense that, like senate minority leader mitch mcconnell , who could become majority after the midterms, who kno

in 2018 mississippi's governor signed a law that may overturn roe. it bans nearly all abortions after 15 weeks the state's only licensed abortion clinic challenged the law and the supreme court heard the case in december with this leaked opinion from the court, we now know which way it's leaning historian douglas brinkley now, professor of history at rice university douglas, great to see you. nearly 50 years of precedent could be wiped out here. give us context on that historically >> well, roe v. wade was january 22nd, 1973, and it didn't make the headline news that you might think because lyndon johnson had died that day and that led off the news stories immediately roe v. wailede had s critics. the catholic church was talking about the unborn children that would never see the light of day. the state of texas called it the worst decision since dred scott and it got politicized so everything since 1971 has been a political football over abortion and wrapped up in it is women's rights, but also the federal government versus states' rights >> justices
