demi, new mexico. officer darian jarrot was shot and killed by a convicted felon whose wife had allegedly purchased the gun for him. she is now being prosecuted under the paperwork offense that is currently on the books. but the bipartisan safer communities act, under it, she would be facing more severe consequences for her role in the death of a state police officer. this legislation will also stop the type of organized straw purchasing and trafficking that we've seen too often in new mexico and elsewhere. right now, law enforcement has to watch as an organized chain of straw purchases happens, one after another, intended to protect the person most at quality, the mastermind of the operation, by keeping them far removed from the purchase that happens at an f.f.l., at a federal firearm licensee. our law enforcement watched this happened, but they can only go after the person who walked into the f.f.l. and made the very first of that series of straw purchases. that's usually the person least involved in

mexico, but new mexico was much larger than the the modern state of new mexico. so it included, nevada in new mexico and utah and most of arizona and parts of wyoming and parts of colorado. so that's about a that's about a third of mexico this area. so we'll look at that. well look something that area first. but to do a little bit of background, let's talk about andrew jackson. that's a presidential presidential portrait of andrew jackson an illustration talk a little bit about jack sodium democracy. so we haven't talked about jacksonian democracy much yet. we're kind of coming out of the year of good feelings, and we talked about the market revolution, but jackson when he was elected president, he had won the popular vote in 1824, but lost the presid. a and the electoral college and in the house of representatives and so he ran for office in a sense for four years in the name of democracy and popular democracy. jackson was the first populist president in american history, and he imagined himself as a jeffersonian in favor of the yeoman farmers and in favor of li

mexico, the state of new mexico. and recognized at the texas border at the rio grande. and in return the united states as a saint mexico $50 million in military will ended in june of 1848. any questions wrapping up our look at it a mexican american war? in 1848, in 1848, polk had pledged to serve only one term and he kept his promise. so zachary taylor runs against one of those democratic generals that polk had appointed, zachary taylor winds. it's going to be zachary taylor who is in charge at first until he died in office in 1850 of trying to figure out how to organize the mexican cession. a third of mexico has become part of the united states. immediately, there is the talk of civil war, possible disunion, what will be a slave state, what would be a slave state, how will california come in? new mexico and texas each claimed the same territory. well those two areas, the territory of new mexico in the state of california go to war? what's going to happen? so that's all going to, we'll talk about that next time. it i

well, now new mexico secretary of state, the statewide official in charge of elections in new mexico, she has stepped in. she has asked the state supreme court to order the otera county commissioners to certify the election results. the secretary of state wrote today, quote, break our laws and you will be held accountable. that was actually something she posted last night. she filed the lawsuit, and boy, they are moving fast. today the supreme court in fact ordered the otero county commissioners that they need to certify the election results in their county by the end of the week, by friday. and that sets up an amazing scheduling conflict, because one of those three commissioners, the guy in the hat here, seen with president trump in the oval office, he has somewhere to be this friday, specifically he has to be all the way across the country in washington, d.c., for a court hearing at which he will be sentenced for his conviction for trespassing at the capitol during the january 6th attack. a conviction for which he faces up to a year in prison. as for the other county commissioners,

are doctors and nurses in new mexico nervous to perform the procedure? are they nervous to perform abortions given that there are other states that are criminalizing the process? >> i think i can reference it in another way, which is we eliminated an antiquated new mexico unconstitutional ban on abortion that criminalized providers. and while it was never utilized, providers were in fact nervous about it. could see sort of the tipping point at the u.s. supreme court and were very clear that that needed to be removed from our statutory framework, which we did about a year ago. so it is clear to me that it is -- there are too many unknowns and losing this supreme court constitutional right by the actions of the supreme court, you bet folks are feeling uneasy. and you bet that the fact that states are saying, look, we're inviting, right, tell on your neighbor policies. we will hold women accountable. this is something that most states, i hope, will consider protecting the folks that provide health care services to their residents and to folks who legally ar

if the courts don't step in to do the right thing. >> mister speaker, mexico new mexico state representative brian e. golf, thank you so much for coming on in just really shedding some light on this. appreciate your time today. >> thanks, and i want to echo mr. brinkley. love the show, keep it up, and very happy to speak with you this afternoon. >> thank you so much. we are going to be right back, after this breakch we are going to be right back, we are going to be right back, after this break the eat fresh® refresh just won't stop! now, subway® is refreshing their catering. we're talking platters fit for any event, like throwing yourself an over-the-top party. who would do such a thing? yeah, i wonder. subway keeps refreshing and refreshing and re- you're pretty particular about keeping a healthy body. what goes on it. usually. and in it. mostly. here to meet those high standards is the walgreens health and wellness brand. over 2000 high quality products. rigorously tested by us. real world tested by you. and delivered to your door in as little as one hour. only at vanguard you're more th

joining me now is new mexico secretary of state maggie toulouse oliver who is a democrat. thank you for being with us. this deadline that is set for tomorrow, what are you expecting? are you expecting this is going to come and go or are you expecting that they will comply? >> well, i mean, we are in completely unchartered territory here, so i guess anything could happen, something crazy has already happened, but i do certainly hope that the county commission, you know, having sworn an oath to uphold the laws of the state will respect the ruling of the supreme court that they will decide to do the right thing and do their jobs and so the votes can be counted and added to the tally. >> what would happen, let's say, if you look to nevada, a secretary of state candidate who might be more inclined not to act as you're acting. let's say they were secretary of state. how would this be playing out then in new mexico, if you, look, regardless of what party you're in, but just about what you think about objections as they're happening in this county, who -- how would this be playing

curtis boyd started this clinic in new mexico and another in dallas. he's one of the oldest abortion doctors in the country and is determined to make sure these women have a way out. >> you may swallow that with some water. now, what i must tell you is that's it. >> make it your choice, but make it reasonable and wise. >> this is a decision that these women are making according to their own faith and values. it's our duty as a faith-rooted organization to trust what we have heard from god and support it. >> reporter: half of the came across state lines. the other half, for a medical procedure. >> you have women out there raped. you have women out there they don't have anybody or did wit the wrong person, or they're just not ready. you can't make women be ready for taking care of kids, because that's like a huge step. >> reporter: the church where these women began their journey, fought for abortion rights before roe, helped roe v. wade to the supreme court, and is now fighting the texas law. >> we are going to see a public health crisis in this country

part of new mexico. several hundred miles. and so 8000, between eight and 9000 navajo, are going to be forced at gunpoint to march across new mexico -- has anyone actually been to new mexico? have you've been to the western part of new mexico, you've been there? actually, going through mountains, that's also fairly dry, kind of desert like. yeah? 18 days, several hundred miles. i want you to imagine that march. i don't want to march anywhere, i'm just going to tell you that right now. but i don't want to watch for 18 days with 1000 people, [inaudible] like i, i don't want to do this. they eventually get to sumner, to the bosque redondo area. and they're basically put into camps for all intents and purposes, internment camps. overcrowded and under supply. and they're going to stay there for about four years. and forced in these to live in these conditions. 200 people are going to die on the march. but because of the conditions, several hundred more are going to die in, kind of, eastern new mexico. eventua

to new mexico or to corado. but are you concerned with your find about providing money for people to go other places? are you concerned about the state prosecuting you? >> i am extremely concerned. know for a fact myself that our abortion fund specifically is on the radar. antiabortion extremists and our conservative elected officials have received cease-and-desist letters about our work, police thing that will target us for felony penalties for continuing our work. our attorney general basically let folks know the day roe fell that right now you can start prosecuting, go right ahead. so we have chosen to pause and seek clarity from the judicial system about what our parameters to be. i'm sure you all know because of senate bill 8, we have been merely helping texans -- primarily helping texans get abortions outside the state of texas in september 1 when previously only maybe 30% of our callers had to leave the state, likely because there's a 20 week ban in texas but now 90% of the folks that we have been helping

i took this trip with 21 from dallas texas to new mexico. i'm going to be showing the story of these women later on in the show. -- 14 were black, four of them are hispanic, two were white. >> we have to acknowledge this country's history of white supremacy, structural racism, and discriminatory treatment. we know that overturning roe is disproportionately impacting, as you said, black folks, indigenous people, latino people, folks that are low income, immigrants, young people, those are the people who are disproportionately impacted, because they are really face barriers to impact and health care. >> well this is around eastern standard time, 10 pm, clinics closed. >> they just shuttered services. many were waiting in the room, waiting for an abortion, and were subsequently told they cannot happen. >> as of today, seven states have banned abortion. what we already know is that patients are scared. patients are confused and are experiencing this case off. many patients don't even know whether or not abortion is legal in their state, and now,

let me give you an example of what we are seeing in new mexico right now. if you were to go to a lumber store, if you were to buy kiln drying would, that would have about 12% moisture in it. the conditions that we are seeing out in new mexico, the moisture of the in the air is about 7%. when you look at the drought conditions, when you look at the rise in temperature, a lot of times when those fires hit those kinds of conditions, it's really exploding into catastrophic fire. >> let me finish up quick. my time is running out. i am understanding, tell me if this is accurate or not, people basically, these large land companies that do timbering and force management also, they are not allowed to fight a fire. it has to be called in. the federal government has to approve it. they can't go out try to stop the fire before it gets out of hand. is that accurate? >> i am not sure what context you have misty that information. -- >> i received it from the largest land companies that are basically harvesting on forest lands. they are saying, they see a lightning strike,

new mexico secretary of state maggie toulouse oliver, thank you for your time. that is all in on this friday night. i'll be back the sunday night, right here on msnbc, at 8 pm eastern, with the mehdi hasan show. msnbc prime starts right now with ari melber. good evening? >> good evening, maybe. and thank you very much. thank you at home joining us. i am ari melber. today the new york times broke ground in the collective understanding of what happened on january 6th. the proud boys paramilitary group were part of that crowd storming the capital capitol that day and all trump had shouted them out before the election. but the way these groups achieved the grave, remarkable act of reaching the capitol during that non long scheduled national security event, that's not been fully accounted for. that's all you're going to get into right now. because this was, of course, one of the only days of the year that both houses of congress have all their members gathered, along with the vice president. many people tend to bring their families as well for that swearing in ceremo

they will travel to new mexico and get an abortion. >> i can't do this i can't put another kid through what the two that i already have are going through. >> it's just not an option right now. not for me, not for him. there's like no support system right now. >> today what happens is you get to make a choice about your life >> reporter: the new mexico religious coalition for reproductive church and the first unitarian church of dallas >> adios, amigos >> reporter: are helping these young women leave texas, a state with one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the nation. >> we're arriving at the airport here in dallas this is just the first leg of a very long day for so many of these women. >> we're about to make it law. >> reporter: texas has banned the medical procedure after six weeks. and now with federal protection for abortion rights gone traveling across state lines will be the reality for so many women. >> you want to get it done but it's just also like i have to go to albuquerque to get this done. >> reporter: advocates of this ban seeing this as a major victory, hoping to

cnn's randi kaye went to new mexico to speak with a sheriff who is pushing back against them. here's her report. >> just let me get it on the record. would you implement the red flag law in your county? >> no. >> reporter: in sierra county, new mexico, the sheriff is refusing to use the red flag law in his state. he calls it ineffective and unworkable. >> i can tell you right now, a temporary restraining order issued to an individual that says you can voluntarily turn your firearms in in 48 hours is not going to be adhered to at all. >> reporter: that's where this sheriff takes issue with the law. new mexico's red flag law known as the extreme risk firearm protection order act, does not allow law enforcement to seize someone's weapons outright. instead, it gives an individual 48 hours to voluntarily relinquish their firearms to law enforcement after being served. >> how is allowing an individual self-compliance with an order who is not thinking correctly, how is that saving the community? how is that in any way, shape, or form solving the problem? >> reporter: in some cases, t

>> no. >> reporter: in sierra county, new mexico, the sherrivsheriff refusing to use the red flag law in his state. >> a temporary restraining order issued to an individual that says you can voluntarily turn your firearms in 48 hours is not going to be adhered to at all. >> reporter: that's why this sheriff takes issue with the law, adopted in 2020, new mexico's red flag law known as the extreme risk firearm protection order act does not allow law enforcement to seize someone's weapons outright. instead, it gives an individual 48 hours to voluntarily relenk wish their firearms to law enforcement after being served. >> how is allowing an individual self-compliance with an order who is not thinking correctly, how is that saving the community? how is that in any way, shape or form solving the problem? >> reporter: in some cases that individual will turn in their weapon, right? >> i doubt it. not if the individual had in his mind they were going to go perpetrate a mass shooting somewhere. >> reporter: why not at least try? >> i'm going to go after an inanimate object, but leave the indivi

the new mexico supreme court has now ordered the commission to certify the results. the deadline to certify it is this friday. are you confident the votes will get certified? >> i mean, let's be honest. we're in unchartered territory here. we never had a situation like this happen. our county commissions act as our board of canvas in the counties to basically just review and approve the canvas report and make sure the results are accurate and if there's questions to ask those. and they have a narrow set of processes they can follow but they haven't. again, we're in this era of what is going to happen next? so, i would like to think that the individuals who have sworn an oath to the constitution and laws of the state, once ordered by the supreme court, will do the right thing. and just follow the law, simply. but at this point, to be quite honest, we don't really know where this goes from here. >> so, problems for the general election. what problems could this present? >> i do think this is a canary in the coal mine situation. we're extremely well aware of the lies an

we just got back from new mexico, we just got back from

with a bunch of boy scouts in new mexico. i knew there was a picture of that of him at the film on branch. despite losing his registration with the boy scouts of america. jack walls went to so martin 1993. something he later admitted to under questioning design as he stalks father. joe. ah yes, and he wasn't even supposed to be there to pause, but he continued doing the same things that he had been doing and never stopped. he just did under another name. why he said he tried to stay away from jack and he said i waited till everybody in the camp was asleep. and he said i sneaked out to the showers and he said i got end of the shower and was taken my shower and i turned around and jack was standing there. so he was also molested at film on 10 a white was and and you're sure that that was monday through the year out of the jacket already been put on the old baltar last no scout people, it feel mot had known jack for years and years and years, why was a hot, dan, why didn't somebody say something bad then those people up in feel

arizona new mexico border bring them to fort sumner the eastern part of new mexico. several hundred miles and so 8, 389,000 navajo are going to be forced at gunpoint. to march across has anyone actually been to new mexico. have you been to the western part of new mexico that you've been there? so we're going through mountains. there's also fairly dry and kind of desert like yeah. 18 days several hundred miles i want you to imagine that march. i don't want to march anywhere. i'm just gonna tell you that right now, but i don't want to march for 18 days with 8,000 people right? let's just feels bad like i don't want to do this they eventually get to to sumner to the the boss redondo area and they're basically put into camps. for all intents and purposes internment camps overcrowded and under supplied and they're going to stay there for about four years. forced to live in these conditions 200 people are going to die. on the march but because of the conditions several hundred more are going to die and kind of eastern, new mexico. eventually at 1868 the us government's goi

i hope the message we're sending in new mexico is the law has to be followed. there are pathways for relief, pathways to get questions answered that are legal but this is not it. >> we reached out to members of the commission and we haven't heard back from them. you say the criminal profession and removal from office are on the table against these commissioners, correct? >> absolutely. the attorney general is looking into it. the actions that have been taken by this group of county commissioners, they violated on their face multiple state statues with regard to the election process. these are fourth degree felonies. >> dominion machines, this is how trump's former attorney general talked about it in his taped testimony for the january 6th committee. watch this. >> the claims of fraud were bull and he was indignant about that. i reiterated that they wasted a whole month on these claims on the dominion voting machines and they were ied diotic claims. i specifically raised the dominion voting machines, which i found to be among the most disturbing allegations, dis

the conditions that we are seeing out in new mexico is about 7%. when you look at the drought conditions and the rise in temperature a lot of times when the fires had those kind of conditions, it's really exploding into catastrophic fires. >> let me finish up on one question my time is running out. i'm understanding and you tell me if this is accurate. basically these large land companies that do timber and the forest management also, they are not allowed to fight a fire, it has to be called in and be federal government approved? they can't go out and stop a fire before it gets out of hand, is thatit accurate? >> i'm not sure where you may have received that information but -- >> the largest land companies basically are harvesting on the service land and say they see a lightning strike they have to call it in. the only reason i'm saying this, and i come from the coal mining communities around my state of west virginia. every mayan has a rescue team. thatat is the first response they've got to go then they get all the help coming and that's going to

president biden says the federal government is committed to helping the people of new mexico through this emergency. >> governor, let me be clear. we are here for you and response and recovery and will be for as long as it takes. >> reporter: the fire started as a controlled burn. look at it now. so far, 1200 homes have burned, tens of thousands are evacuated. an outreach program is being awarded for helping survivors displaced by the l and u complex fire in the north bay. that fire burned more than 300,000 acres back in 2020. now outreach program is being recognized with a national award. county supervisors say the program was quickly able to help all 500 people displaced by that fire with proper living situations and resources for debris removal to repair for rebuilding. >> we are tracking another shortage, this one affecting women. details when we come back in a moment. another crazy day? of course—you're a cio in 2022. but you're ready. because you've got the next generation in global secure networking from comcast business. with fully integrated security solutions all in one p

are elections on shaky grounds in new mexico? >> i think elections are on shaky ground everywhere, and i think unfortunately, we're seeing a through thread coming from the 2020 general election, what happened on january 6th, the lies, the big lie especially, and the mis and disinformation that have been spread and continue to propagate throughout a particular part of our electorate. you know, it's really starting to take root and starting to affect even groups like this county commission who while they have a very narrow focus, a very narrow statutory authority, with regard to elections, is looking to do whatever they can to impede our election process. i think it's something we all need to be deeply concerned about. >> and just to be clear, this guy's feelings were based on his belief, i guess, in the conspiracy theories having to do with dominion software, ones that are without any merit at all. it's so odd how they never, ever talk about dominion voting when it has to do with electing republicans. it's only when a democrat doe

we already have folks from texas coming to new mexico. volunteers and quite frankly religious organizations who are supporting that, you know, the religious coalition for reproductive justice coordinating those efforts because this is a state that believes in protecting all women. but it is also an access issue. as you have nearly with all of the potential bans, current ban, all the sort of tipping laws in the mix, you'd have half the country looking for access to abortion. that is a unique position for every state. i think every democratic governor is standing up all their provider and access issues. err readying, if you will. but that is also, i think, sort of part of this dilemma. can we all assure call access in fewer than half the states? and the answer is, not unless he with do something about roe v. wade and get it codified across the country. that is the only way. >> governor, we really appreciate you joining us this evening. thank you so much. appreciate your perspective and your time. >> thanks for having me today. >> absolutely

curtis boyd started this clinic in new mexico, and another in dallas. he's one of the oldest abortion doctors in the country, and says he's determined to make sure these women have a way out. >> and you may swallow that with some water. now, what's i must tell you is, that's it. >> they make it your choice. they make it reasonable. they make it wise. >> this is a decision that these women are making, according to their own faith and values. it's our duty, as a faith rooted organization, to trust what they've heard from god and support it. >> half of the woman on this trip came across state lines to take a pill. the other half for a ten minute surgical procedure. >> there are women out there who have been raped. you have women out there who have been, they don't have anybody or they got with the wrong person or they're just not ready. you can't make women be ready for taking care of kids. that's a huge step. >> but church where these women began the journey fought for abortion rights before roe helped roe v. wade to the supreme court, and is now fighting

so we continue to have boots on the ground in new mexico. we've got regional emergency coordinators in the state that continue toinun communicate with city and local leaders but we also have our cms representatives who are making sure the medicare and medicaid provisions are being well community dedicated to those beneficiariesms. and everything we can prevent several regional representatives leading this effort for us and new mexico. and continue to rely on their ability to communicate on the ground. >> i said earlier that many families were forced to evacuate. they were living in congregate settings. but they were not eligible for the fourth covid-19 vaccine. dr. walensky, will you commit to reconsidering cdc guidelines for the fourth covid-19 shot to account for the risks of people fleeing from natural disasters who are forced into compact living conditions? >> thank you, senator lujan let me add my support and strength to the people of new mexico who are experiencing these natural disasters that may affect your backup and let you know so

. >> plus, the ongoing thread of trump's election lies playing out in new mexico. a county commissioner defying the state supreme court there and refusing to certify votes by today which happens to be the same day he's being sentenced for his january 6th conviction for trespassing at the capitol. >> president biden warning americans do not travel to ukraine, as the united states works to track down three american veterans who went missing there. the americans who volunteers to assist ukrainian forces are now feared to be in russian hands. retired u.s. marine grady was last heard from in ukraine around april 23rd, according to a family friend. alexander and andy went missing last week. videoed surfaced today on pro-russian social media appearing to show those two men in an unknown location. we're not showing the video because it appears to show the men under duress. sam kiley is in kharkiv just miles from where those two veterans were last seen. he spoke with an american who was fighting with andy and alex just before they went missing. >> these two americans fighte

so the democracy is not just about also what's happening in new mexico two weeks ago, but also what's happening every saturday in his neighborhood. that is the legacy of former president trump on his doorstep with him having to deal with people who are armed at his door claiming he's a pedophile, which goes to qanon and all these different conspiracy theories. the fact he was about to cry tells you just how disturbed he is that all this happened. >> garrett haack, you were in the hearing room. you're outside of it now. look, all of us were caught off guard by how emotional he got. he strikes me as somebody that doesn't lead with emotion, which i think made it all the more powerful. >> i think that's right, chuck. this is part of the committee strategy. it always has been to try to have republican witnesses be the ones telling the story. that's part of what makes him effective here because as he laid out the idea that he wasn't open to what rudy is suggesting, he was. he was repeatedly saying, where is the evidence? what do you have? give me the names? give me something i can work with

sitting in a new mexico desert for years, then brought back into service. gio benitez covers aviation. >>> the dramatic rescue in ukraine. a u.s. nuclear scientist escaping from russian-controlled mariupol, hiding in that city for nearly four months. james longman from ukraine tonight. >>> the devastating earthquake in afghanistan. more than 1,000 people killed. the 5.9 leveling villages. maggie rulli reporting tonight. >>> after the school shooting in uvalde, the schumermarket shooting in buffalo, news tonight on that bipartisan gun safety deal. will there be enough republicans in the senate to get this through? and tonight, republican leaders in the house already saying they will not support this. rachel scott live on the hill. >>> new reporting tonight that the fda is now planning to ban the sale of juul e-cigarettes in the u.s. so, is this ban coming and how soon? >>> the frightening scene in a new york city subway. police saving a woman and what led to this moment? >>> and the remarkable images tonight coming in from yellowstone. you have to see them.

here new mexico is not going to be the only state facing natural disasters. we are in that season right now. i'm hopeful that someone used a positive direction and how we can -- madam chair, -- >> senator cassidy? >> thank you all for being here. thank you for your efforts on our part of our country. of course, what we're hearing is that there has to be more money appropriated in dire consequences if not allocated. that begs the question of the stewardship of the current dollars being allocated. now, so, i personally think, i think others agree, physically showing up to work is important. miss o'connell, how many days a last month where you physically in your office? >> the vast majority of those days. >> can you give me a number. and it's so frustrating, i've never been able to get a straight answer from one of you. as to how many days you are in the office and what is the return to work policy. just give me, how many days this past week? it's fine, how many how many days this last week? >> hhs has continued its return to work starting in april. we're bringi
