👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Exactly what I believe. This is a chaotic yet temporary spot on our history that will be remembered as just another time that Fascists tried to take over our political arena. Defeat them we will!
I live in Florida. My family has been here for over a hundred years. Over the last few decades the quality of life has deteriorated here as we moved more red . I am really starting to consider moving to a more progressive state. I am retired and have a fairly large income still. This is not going to be good economically for Florida. Companies and other individuals are thinking the same thing.
I’m about to move to Columbia, MO- a sweet little progressive college town! It’s got very cool vibe like Asheville, NC used to have before the tourists took over!
Don't leave, these bums will not survive the next election...some of us cannot leave...I have over 35 years here. I thought I was helping Florida improve...I know I have...I will stand and defend democracy.
There's a lot of people that only recently realized we're extremely progressive here. It's always been like this too. It's weird to say this, but even the Republicans in this state are generally pretty reasonable.
God bless Minnesota, Colorado, New Mexico and my home state Washington! THIS is what governing the people looks like as Governor Jay Inslee acts for the people.
Minnesota, Colorado, New Mexico and Washington - THANK YOU for protecting the freedom of choice (all choice) for Americans! This is why we are the UNITED States, no matter how much some try to divide us
The US must condemn anyone in this nation who fights for or practices a violation of human rights and make sure those doing this do not receive any Federal financial assistance.
You don't get to form alliances and trade relationships with just 'the nice people as defined by Sally' Because then we wouldn't have _any_ friends. Everyone has dirty laundry, nobody's country has clean hands and a 100% altruistic history. Ever.

How can anyone call this freedom? To have the government involved in your health decisions, or your ability to travel to get healthcare. Or government deciding that everyone should own a gun which as we see threatens the safety of everyone. I am sickened by the direction the Right wing is taking.
I applaud you, Rachel, for standing up for our rights--who I choose to love is my business, and my business ONLY. We need more good people like you in the media world to stand up for and protect our rights as people.
I will never understand how a person’s sexuality is anyone’s business. I can’t imagine the fear that must be felt by the people that are being targeted by these hateful evil humans. Thank you for this video.
It's pretty sad when some states have to pass legislation to protect us from Republican states. We are a backwards country when we have a faction of our government, the Republicans, *_working against what our Veterans fought for and many gave their lives for - Liberty and Freedom._*
@@RebeccaTreeseed I personally don't think much of our guv. Jay Insley, but in this case ( and his handling of COVID) I think that he is doing the correct thing. The disrespect and outright hatred that the repubs are showing toward their own state's people is not only dispicable but horrific!!! Idaho isn't the only state that is acting in such a deplorable manner. Take care and have a good day.
Thank you, Rachel, for telling us about Ugandan civil rights. This is the only show where I have heard about it. I hope that government there will listen to President Biden.

It’s incredible the damage that the Republicans are doing to people in their own state. The cause and effect can be health care providers leaving and causing a health crisis inadvertently. The long game has never been their specialty.
Depends on perspective. As to undermining democracy and civil rights, they very much understand the long game. Where Dems have shot themselves in the foot repeatedly is they don't seem to get it that for 70 years, there's been an entire party (the Republicans) who've operated with one single mind to repeal everything back to the New Deal. They're working on the advances made in the 1960s right now. What they truly want (and if one just reads a lot of the paperwork that drifts between Republican lawmakers and governors, it's obvious) is to eliminate all civil advances back to the 1920s or early 1930s, eliminate Social Security, the entire social safety net, anything/everything which both created the middle class and elevated the disenfranchised. (Case in point, read Wilkie's Republican platform for the Presidential Election of 1940)
The long game to turn us all into serfs and property of the kleptocracy! Shut up, eat your bowl of gruel, and get back to work! Your shift is only 16 hours! That leaves 8 whole hours of free time! Make your master some more money because he wants to buy another private island!
That's what you get when you listen to men parading as women that keep getting caught lying to you. At last count, 100+ million were grotesquely tortured and murdered in the name of obtaining "equality"...its surprising you would just openly call for mass torture and murder. Unless of course, you've never learned anything about when the word "equality" is used...there is 123 years of very well documented history of the torture and death that occur in the name of achieving "equality".
Sounds like you never voted with the needs of the American economy in mind. That's what changed Trump's mind. He had been a lifelong Democrat, and even invited the Clintons to his wedding.
Karen, you are welcome on the Democrats' side. But I also wish for you (and everyone else) an opposition party that is principled, humble, and treats the average American with the respect they deserve. Or even a few such parties. Wouldn't that help make America great?
Don't be ashamed, the republican party trying to enforce these law cannot in all honesty be called republican and I honestly don't know where these people kk ple come from as a Democrat I do know they are not American nor from any party in America and they are Godless
I doubt it. We have been in continual war since Ronald Reagan entered office. Trump was the first president in 40 years that refused to start a new war, and now we're playing with nuclear war with Russia. Do you have any principles?
Your admission is very refreshing and brave. Thank you for that. I am sure you are not alone. I feel sorry for good, decent, Republicans being grouped with the crazy stance their party has committed themselves too. You are not to blame. Maybe, after Trump is long gone, your party will get back it's conscience of decency soon.
It means they belong to the one race that is not allowed to form organizations that support their own interests. The swastikas show they also know who made it that way.

You don't have to live in one of the reddest states in America. You could do the reverse exodus and be one of the few Idahoans who was actually fleeing to a blue state, rather than vice versa.

Idaho's anti-abortion travel restrictions remind me of the authoritarian travel restrictions that were placed on citizens of the former Soviet Union. I suppose that is not surprising since it's just one more indication of the repressive (even fascist) nature of current Republican politics.
How is it possible that after successfully helping people understand that conversion therapy was torture that we’re talking about it again? What is wrong with people. Wake up and be mad at the billionaires instead
It's called Cognitive Dissonance. If the religious right-wing (might as well say right-wing since there's no difference anymore) admits that conversion therapy was never a 'solution', then they'd have to admit they were wrong for decades. And if they're wrong about THAT (because, you know, Leviticus or whatever BS they dredge up this time), what else might they be wrong about? My!!! It might undermine their entire reason for existance!! Can't have that, now can they?
@Spay or Neuter CHRISTIANS Don't confuse the right wing Christian Nationalists with the people who really are Christian. Or are you just another GQP troll?
Slaves used to cover their faces as they escaped enslavement. Back then, it was the black race forbidden to organize and fight oppression of their race in America, not the white race. Today, Black Panthers and La Raza don't hide their faces, because employers know they can't fire them for protesting. However, employers will advertise that they fired a white guy who met with other white guys to discuss their grievances. Our forefathers forgot to define which races do and do not enjoy the right to assemble in America.
I am so proud to live in Washington state. I'm proud of our 100% mail in voting (since the 1990s), proud of our Democratic trifecta representatives. I'm proud that King County just passed Prop 1 which will build 5 county wide mental health facilities. Mental health is a huge part of homelessness. Thanks Rachel for reporting on my state and all we are doing to protect everyone. We all deserve to live happily.
And unfortunately plenty of people won't understand that because they have stripped the ability of history teachers to do their jobs through the years to make it harder for the common masses to see the truth until its too late.
Attacking this group of people with these horrible laws makes me so furious and at the same time feeling so helpless. Attacking others never makes me better or stronger.

Hate is what frames many political issues both here and around the world. Policy debates are reduced to whether or not you are willing to see others suffer and die simply for existing. It is an obvious failure of humanity being championed by the right. It is so very important for respectful politicians to speak out against those who imagine their duty as lawmakers is to destroy the lives of their own citizens.
Republicans-The Government can't touch my gun. It's my right. Also Republicans-The Government can tell women & LGBT people what to do with their bodies, it's the Governments right.
The Republican Evangelical Fascists are corrupting the line between the Church & State(part of the first Amendment). Republicans lie about wanting Small Government… taking Healthcare Rights away from Women; allowing 12 year olds to Marry with Parents consent, inspecting children’s genitalia to play sports,not supporting Veterans… and so much more which equals Large Government. Here’s what you wish for by supporting The Republican Party: Anti-Science Anti-Educational System Anti-Intellectualism Anti-Regulatory laws Anti-Minorities Anti-LBGTQIA Anti-feeding the Children in School Anti-EPA Anti-FDA Anti-NATO Anti-Global Economy Pro-wealthy top 1% persons & Corporations Pro-Fascism Please enlighten all of us here with all the positive Legislation that the former Administration created for the good of our entire Country. Don’t forget who created the Debt and that Trump spent 25% more than all Administrations in History. If the Debt isn’t paid, our Country will suffer greatly(also abroad) I guess you agree with the weakest Speaker Kevin McCarthy… cutting money to Veterans Healthcare; taking food away from children and families; endangering our Air Travel(eliminating Air Traffic Control towers)Taking money away from Senior Citizens that depend on Meals on Wheels; plus other programs for Seniors. There’s much more that is in his bill that will damage our Country. Please don’t have these traits of The Republican Party: Hate,lies,bigotry,disinformation,discrimination,only caring for their special interests(their grifting pockets). How does someone’s personal life effect/affect yours? What business is it of yours. Maybe your life and bedroom should be inspected as well. If you welcome what is happening to these people… be careful what you wish for. This Country isn’t a Theocracy… their are laws of Separation between Church and State that the Republican Party is Corrupting. Remember the Golden Rule… seems you have forgotten that true faithful rule.
I’m sorry for going off the topic for a second but is anybody else frustrated that npr TH-cam doesn’t allow you to comment?! It’s been bugging me for years. I stopped watching CNN long ago because of their stance/no stance AND 24/7 Breaking news, but I felt that I can get good National and international News on NPR, specially since they seem to promote debate. But every episode I have to thirst to DEBATE one topic or another I feel like they are lacking in this area. LOVE YOU RACHEL….Love the way you explain for the lay folk and talk about issues that actually matter and even those we didn’t know that mattered. You’re awesome!!🎉🎉
Brad Little is trying to look busy to justify the paycheck he gets for doing nothing. He counts on people in the boondocks to be too dim to know he is proposing an unenforceable law that he claims he'll be busy enforcing.
Republican Citizens had better get smart and vote blue down the line and get rid of their fascist representatives because this is not going to end well. If you can accept their wierd laws thinking that it's for others and not you, this is just a test ground to see what you'll go along with before the law slams down on you. Waiting and covering the problem after it arises will be too late.😮
Regarding the situation in Uganda I wonder if the US government would be in a position to prosecute US citizens engaging in political activities offshore which threaten human rights in the offshore countries such as Uganda. Matching prison sentences would be a good start.
Hospitals in Idaho are now closing their Birthing centers because of a lack of doctors and nurses who are leaving the state because of Idaho's new laws and the hospitals fear of retaliation and criminal prosecution. Women will die because of this baby's will die, so much for being prolife!
As someone who lost family in WWII seeing this actually makes my blood cold, my stomach clenches and I literally find it hard to breathe. We can never make these 'normal' These people need to be arrested as soon as they show up!
With respect to Idaho preventing their citizens from leaving the state for health care, wouldn't this be a constitutional violation, re false imprisonment? (25 CFR Sec.11.404) The wording specifically refers to individuals, but couldn't it apply to state legislatures?
So brave and powerful that they won't even show their faces.

How is it possible that after successfully helping people understand that conversion therapy was torture that we’re talking about it again? What is wrong with people. Wake up and be mad at the billionaires instead
It's called Cognitive Dissonance. If the religious right-wing (might as well say right-wing since there's no difference anymore) admits that conversion therapy was never a 'solution', then they'd have to admit they were wrong for decades. And if they're wrong about THAT (because, you know, Leviticus or whatever BS they dredge up this time), what else might they be wrong about? My!!! It might undermine their entire reason for existance!! Can't have that, now can they?
I wish she was back on tv 5 days a week.
Why don't we just label those bills the Ostrich bills? They appear to want Americans to put our heads in the sand with our butts in the air.
@Spay or Neuter CHRISTIANS Don't confuse the right wing Christian Nationalists with the people who really are Christian.
Or are you just another GQP troll?
Well said.
This is like helping the CBD and medical marijuana industry to grow so fast - keep them happy and not thinking...
The better for the Republicans to f*** over the American people.
Faces covered = you KNOW you're on the wrong side of history.
Wonder how many of those masked jokers protested wearing masks during the Pandemic?
Slaves used to cover their faces as they escaped enslavement. Back then, it was the black race forbidden to organize and fight oppression of their race in America, not the white race. Today, Black Panthers and La Raza don't hide their faces, because employers know they can't fire them for protesting. However, employers will advertise that they fired a white guy who met with other white guys to discuss their grievances. Our forefathers forgot to define which races do and do not enjoy the right to assemble in America.
They traded in their dresses.

I am so proud to live in Washington state. I'm proud of our 100% mail in voting (since the 1990s), proud of our Democratic trifecta representatives. I'm proud that King County just passed Prop 1 which will build 5 county wide mental health facilities. Mental health is a huge part of homelessness. Thanks Rachel for reporting on my state and all we are doing to protect everyone. We all deserve to live happily.
Thank you Gov Inslee for standing up for democracy.
Rachel's the best
Thank you for covering these horrible things and people.
This laws that are being passed, they're really reminiscent of old slave recovery laws from the pre-Civil War Era.
And unfortunately plenty of people won't understand that because they have stripped the ability of history teachers to do their jobs through the years to make it harder for the common masses to see the truth until its too late.
That's an excellent point!
Thank you Rachel! Your reports on this subject are more important than ever! We need you to keep on shedding light on this evil!
God bless you Rachel❤😄
The lack of self awareness is frightening
I’m a proud citizen of Washington State!❤ Love Inslee!
Attacking this group of people with these horrible laws makes me so furious and at the same time feeling so helpless. Attacking others never makes me better or stronger.
My goodness... the US supreme court sure has started a fire storm.
I suspect that was their intention.
So happy to have Inslee as my Governor 🎉
Love him too. sad this is his last term. 😢
Tell him thank you from Tennessee mom. He sets a shining example for other blue states!
@@micheleconner5083 Thanks, Tennessee, I will if I see him 😎 My life is better because he is in office. I wish the media gave him more credit and have been glad to see him on a couple of shows lately.
I am too!
He’s amazing. He and our Attorney General Ferguson have our backs and do a great job of keeping Washington safe from ignorance and hatred.
Hate is what frames many political issues both here and around the world. Policy debates are reduced to whether or not you are willing to see others suffer and die simply for existing. It is an obvious failure of humanity being championed by the right. It is so very important for respectful politicians to speak out against those who imagine their duty as lawmakers is to destroy the lives of their own citizens.
Republicans-The Government can't touch my gun. It's my right.
Also Republicans-The Government can tell women & LGBT people what to do with their bodies, it's the Governments right.
No it's not 😮evil 😈
The Republican Evangelical Fascists are corrupting the line between the Church & State(part of the first Amendment). Republicans lie about wanting Small Government… taking Healthcare Rights away from Women; allowing 12 year olds to Marry with Parents consent, inspecting children’s genitalia to play sports,not supporting Veterans… and so much more which equals Large Government. Here’s what you wish for by supporting The Republican Party:
Anti-Science
Anti-Educational System
Anti-Intellectualism
Anti-Regulatory laws
Anti-Minorities
Anti-LBGTQIA
Anti-feeding the Children in School
Anti-EPA
Anti-FDA
Anti-NATO
Anti-Global Economy
Pro-wealthy top 1% persons & Corporations
Pro-Fascism
Please enlighten all of us here with all the positive Legislation that the former Administration created for the good of our entire Country. Don’t forget who created the Debt and that Trump spent 25% more than all Administrations in History. If the Debt isn’t paid, our Country will suffer greatly(also abroad)
I guess you agree with the weakest Speaker Kevin McCarthy… cutting money to Veterans Healthcare; taking food away from children and families; endangering our Air Travel(eliminating Air Traffic Control towers)Taking money away from Senior Citizens that depend on Meals on Wheels; plus other programs for Seniors. There’s much more that is in his bill that will damage our Country. Please don’t have these traits of The Republican Party:
Hate,lies,bigotry,disinformation,discrimination,only caring for their special interests(their grifting pockets). How does someone’s personal life effect/affect yours? What business is it of yours. Maybe your life and bedroom should be inspected as well. If you welcome what is happening to these people… be careful what you wish for. This Country isn’t a Theocracy… their are laws of Separation between Church and State that the Republican Party is Corrupting. Remember the Golden Rule… seems you have forgotten that true faithful rule.
So, the government can tell you when to get a visectomy?? Really! Non Sense!!😮😮
I’m sorry for going off the topic for a second but is anybody else frustrated that npr TH-cam doesn’t allow you to comment?! It’s been bugging me for years. I stopped watching CNN long ago because of their stance/no stance AND 24/7 Breaking news, but I felt that I can get good National and international News on NPR, specially since they seem to promote debate. But every episode I have to thirst to DEBATE one topic or another I feel like they are lacking in this area. LOVE YOU RACHEL….Love the way you explain for the lay folk and talk about issues that actually matter and even those we didn’t know that mattered. You’re awesome!!🎉🎉
Thank You for highlighting positive actions from other states

Passed away May 1st.age 84
I’m happy for him. 84 is a fine age to leave this place and move on to wherever he goes next. I raise my beer, and wish him well.
I didn't know . He was a legend. RIP
Haven't heard of him until i watched knives out and they were playing sundown at the diner.
I just heard.
Beautiful man
Chilling story set to music that I loved as a young person.
If we here in the US can ban LBGTQIA, then why aren't we banning facists?
We need to start doing this.
I am so glad we moved to Washington State 13 years ago ❤💖
Proud to be from Minnesota 🤗
So...Idaho is now a penal colony? Or an insane asylum?
Brad Little is trying to look busy to justify the paycheck he gets for doing nothing. He counts on people in the boondocks to be too dim to know he is proposing an unenforceable law that he claims he'll be busy enforcing.
Is there a difference??? Since we cut mental health services in the 80s, it's hard to tell. Ask anyone who works in the jails.
I am a German and I am really shocked. Learn from our history and our mistakes!
If you wave a flag with a swastika here, you can be arrested...
I don't know if this is enough, but GOOD !
People of conscience must stand up and be counted.
Republican Citizens had better get smart and vote blue down the line and get rid of their fascist representatives because this is not going to end well. If you can accept their wierd laws thinking that it's for others and not you, this is just a test ground to see what you'll go along with before the law slams down on you. Waiting and covering the problem after it arises will be too late.😮
Thank you Thank you Minnesota for stopping the dictators in this country! Thank you Rachel for your continued reporting the truth.
And that is why we love Jay Inslee here in Washington State.
Bravo, Minnesota, New Mexico , Colorado.
Proud to be living in Washington state.
Great news from the State of Washington!
I'm so proud of living in Washington.
Thank you so much for reporting about Uganda. Im sick to know the US is still perpetuating the long history of colonial violence.
Not sure what this comment means in the light of what was said in the piece.
Regarding the situation in Uganda I wonder if the US government would be in a position to prosecute US citizens engaging in political activities offshore which threaten human rights in the offshore countries such as Uganda. Matching prison sentences would be a good start.
Hospitals in Idaho are now closing their Birthing centers because of a lack of doctors and nurses who are leaving the state because of Idaho's new laws and the hospitals fear of retaliation and criminal prosecution. Women will die because of this baby's will die, so much for being prolife!
The only hospital in my (Georgia) home county closed their maternity ward.
So sorry for these ignorant laws taking the country back to the bad old days.
My late cousin’s late husband was an OB/GYN in Boise, and a really good man. I truly wish I could get his views on this Idaho mess.😢
THE most intelligent person on TV. Period!! 👀💯
On May 1st, Governor Inslee announced he would not run for a 4th term. I hope we remain a Democrat run state.
My goodness! This is really taking minding other people’s business to a new, higher level.
Thank you for that opening description of your show. Spot on!
As someone who lost family in WWII seeing this actually makes my blood cold, my stomach clenches and I literally find it hard to breathe. We can never make these 'normal' These people need to be arrested as soon as they show up!
I feel the same way. We only 'lost' one, but most of a very large family fought the fascists. They sacrificed much.
With respect to Idaho preventing their citizens from leaving the state for health care, wouldn't this be a constitutional violation, re false imprisonment? (25 CFR Sec.11.404) The wording specifically refers to individuals, but couldn't it apply to state legislatures?
Jay Inslee is an awesome governor.
BRAVO New Mexico!
Great segment 😊
