. >> cenk: well, this wendy davis is a remarkable woman. she spends 11 hours on her feet, filibustering this anti-abortion bill in texas. she's hailed as a hero and filibustered to the point that they were unable to rule and close all these abortion clinics in texas. as hermela joins us again. now we hear the other shoe drop from rick perry, who is just a capital-- >> of course. >> you know what. >> the authority on all things women, as we know. hadright? listen to what he had to say and we'll go from there. >> who are we to say that children born in the worst of circumstances can't grow to live successful lives? in fact, even the woman who filibustered the senate the other day was born into difficult circumstances. she was the daughter of a single woman. she was a teenage mother herself. she managed to eventually graduate from harvard law school and serve in the texas senate. it's just unfortunate that she hasn't learned from her own example, that every life must be give a chance to realize it's full potential and that every life mattered.

this is a triumph of social media and wendy-- >> absolutely. follow long with me. it all started in the house of texas. they approved legislation that would ban abortion past 20 weeks and require abortion clinics to get admitting previous ledges at hospitals. and many hospitals don't want to grant clinics admission. this would shut down all but five in the state of texas and you can imagine a lot of people in rural areas would not have access to abortion as a result. now after it passed in the house it headed to the senate, and the democrats and the senate were not about to let this pass. they decided they wanted to filibuster the bill, and senator wendy davis was in charge of filibustering that bill. we have more on that story. >> members i'm riding on the floor today to humblely give voice to thousands of texans. >> with no food, no water, and no bathroom breaks allowed davis hoped to run out the clock on the legislative session to block the closing of every abortion clinic in texas. but she also could not change the subject. but her opponents said she did just t

i think that wendy davis demonstrated unbelievable courage and moxie. she represents the voices of a lot of women, not just in texas, but across the country. i don't understand what republicans get out of -- through going at her personally. governor perry's comments about wendy davis are, like, way over the top. she has a great personal story to share, but it's hers to share, not his. >> maybe run for governor of texas. >> well, i think her story provides her more credibility for standing up on this issue having where she came from, i totally disagree with rick perry. this gives her more credibility. to me, the thing about this broadly, and i thing it ties in edward snowden, bradley manning. individuals standing up strongly and enunciating what their truth is can change and bring a spotlight on things important to them in america. davis put a spotlight on texas. others have done it. it does return to the idea that the power of the individual still matters. >> 15 seconds. >> roe versus wade was a 7-2 decision, the supreme court wasn't close. but for 40 y

despite an 11-hour filibuster by texas state senator wendy davis. who admitted last night she just might be considering a statewide run. it now appears to be just a matter of time before that strict abortion law becomes a law. in texas, governor rick perry has called the legislatures back to the state capitol for a week special session to push the abortion law through the state senate. james carville, texas is a fascinating state. we're going to see some cannin s changes over the next five years. abortion has moved the opposite way of same sex marriage. americans have become more progressive on that social issue. the polls over the last 5, 10 years, they've become more conservative -- i see you whi wincing. it's just the numbers. americans have become more conservative on abortion. >> the numbers on same sex marriage have moved considerably faster than numbers on abortion. that's not a fair comparison. certainly the numbers -- the pro choice numbers have not moved up like the pro gay marriage numbers have moved up. i concede that. >> are you not sur

wendy davis was allowed to proceed. this is what it has looked like today in the senate gallery. i think we've got the gallery shot, don't we? every spectator seat has been filled in the gallery. there's been people there wearing orange shirts in solidarity with filibuster. there's been a long line of people waiting to get in all day to watch the state senator talk without stopping, stand without stopping for 13 hours. just like they did on thursday night, and, again, on sunday night, hundreds and hundreds of texans, again, showed up today at the state capitol to protest this republican effort to ram through the country's most sweeping abortion restrictions and to support the democrats who are trying to stop it. also there today, in the senate fwalry, cecile richards of planned parenthood and daughter of former texas governor ann richards. what's going on in texas right now, this is a big deal. there are about 3 1/2 hours maybe, 3 hours left in wendy davis' filibuster and apparently is still going strong. now theoretically governor rick perry could call another special session fo

wendy davis and the governor's association reached out to her. they would like her to run for governor. a lot of people here in washington would like to see her run for congress. we will see how far she goes. texas is a very republican state and conservative state. it may not be a question of whether she can win. maybe she can't given the political nature of the state, but how far can she get? >> they needed to broughten their base and make inroads with the women. if they made any headway, are they losing it by focusing on issues like abortion? in. >> they are making a more organized effort in washington. we saw six different committees organized parties and on friday roll out the female recruitment program. they are on the operative level, this is a concern for them. in many ways, the party is working against its own best efforts. any time they get momentum, someone said something that is insensitive and a lot of women would perceive as insensitive. >> we will move on and that is stop and

it was killed, thanks in large part, to this woman, wendy davis. davis, a single mother from ft. worth, has gone from local hero to national icon overnight, all thanks to a grueling ten-hour plus filibuster that delayed a final vote on the bill just long enough that the lieutenant governor couldn't sign it before a critical midnight deadline. and make no mistake, this was no ordinary filibuster. procedural rules dictated that she couldn't eat, couldn't use the bathroom or even lean on her desk for the ten hours. at one point, a colleague helped her put on a back brace which republicans quickly denounced as a violation of the rules. but while davis and her throngs of supporters which overwhelmed capitol police that night succeeded on tuesday, the victory has been short-lived. governor rick perry has ordered a special session in the texas legislature for monday. the message is clear. no amount of procedural heroics will kill this bill a second time. so what does it all mean for the future of women's rights? for women in politics, for the political fate of texas, and even the nation

in the chamber so that the members can properly cast their vote. >> the sudden political star tom of wendy davis brought to national attention in dramatic fashion a powerful, high-stakes battle over women's health rights that is not by any means exculusive to the state of texa. raging on all over the country in little noticed state capitals every single day. here, for example, is what's happening in north carolina just this week. >> abortion is on the verge of being added to curriculum at your child's middle school. >> it didn't go before the education committee. there was no public comment open on this bill. and starting as soon as this fall, kids as young as 11 and 12 could be taught the dangers of abortion in the classroom. >> not just the dangers of abortion, mind you, the fake made up dangers of abortion. that's right. both the house and senate in the state of north carolina have passed legislation to force teachers to tell middle schoolers that having an abortion puts them at risk of preterm birth later on. now, that is an assertion that is not supported by the world's health organiz

an unlikely winner in the 11th hour filibuster we saw this week from texas democratic state senator wendy davis, who took to the senate floor to stall a vote on an extremely restrictive abortion bill. ms. davis is getting a lot of praise these days, but as it turns out, so are the sneakers she wore that night. amazon reviews have been through the roof. not only do they provide support for your arches, they support a woman's right to her own body. they make a real statement. i'll be ordering a second pair and third. think about your daughters and keep these shoes available for them so that they can choose when and where and how to wear them. >>> next, last night in the senate, the senate passed a sweeping immigration reform bill that creates a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented individuals in the united states. the final tally was 68-32 in favor, but it was almost slightly different thanks to this slip-up from kansas republican jerry moran. >> mr. moran. >> aye -- i'm sorry, no. >> yep, jerry moran almost wound up on the winning side of the vote, entirely by accident. twitter

over 100,000 people wound up tuning into wendy davis's filibuster. and all 100,000 people saw a legislature dominated by white men, trying to put down the women among them, literally not calling on the female senator that tried to get attention when wendy davis was being shut down. it was really an amazing display of what the conservative republicans in texas, and i think we can say a lot of the rest of the country, the way that they behave, and how terrible that behavior can be, when we see it, when it is not done in the dark of night as the female politician from ohio put it. i think this is a really amazing moment in american politics. i think rick perry exposed himself yet again as being rather ignorant. i think the legislation in ohio, again with the attention we're putting on it. one thing it shows is that people seem to think that women don't understand what is going on with their bodies when they get abortions. i think it should be important to point out here most women who get abortions have had a child. 60% of women that get abortions have

"wendys neither condones nor promotes the idea of anyone consuming a nine patty hamburger in one sitting." the fine folks from npr wanted to pay their respects. they recreated the dearly departed by purchasing three triple cheeseburgers copying every last detail. as you see, the heavily airbrushed corporate d advertisement looked more advertising. the npr crew documented the reincarnation offering a few thoughts, it's like burger jenga. i just scraped ketchup off my forehead. and the most fitting, this is the unhealthiest thing a canadian has done since everything the mayor of toronto has done. the second thing, tween sensations of brooklyn. these sixth graders firsts got together at the tender age of 5 formi

we'll begin overnight in texas with the drama that has many americans hearing the name wendy davis for the first time because davis, a democratic state senator there filibustered the sb-5 anti-abortion bill for over 11 hours going late into the night and drawing attention across the country as thousands were watching live online. >> if we were truly talking about women's health care, if we were truly talking about making sure women were safe after an abortion, this is the kind of thing that goes right to the heart of that. and that we could agree. >> the bill would have banned abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and forced the closure of most abortion clinics in the state. according to texas filibuster rules, davis had to stay on topic, could not lean on anything, and could not take a bathroom break. and she would continue to speak until just under the 11-hour mark when republican lieutenant governor david dewhurst ruled davis violated the senate's three-strike rule, a decision not well received by supporters outside the senate chamber. let her speak, let her speak. let her speak. le

state senator wendy davis joins me from texas. she took on a bill that would restrict abortion rights in the texas legislature. taking on governor perry as well. senator davis, welcome to "meet the press." >> thank you. good morning, david. >> for all that you've achieved in terms of your pro vial and your views, are you not just delaying the inevitable? governor perry has a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks. will that become law? >> i don't think it's acceptable to concede on important articles like this. what we saw in the capital last week, is people weary of our politicians trying to boost their own political careers on the backs of women, by bullying them. and others, honestly, in order to promote agendas that help them personally. these are matters of personal liberty. in texas, we hold very dear to intrusions against our personal liberty. we fight very hard against that. and we will fight, as we begin the session again on monday. i don't think that we'll concede that the battle is over. and even if this bill pass

who hasn't confused dave thomas of strange brew with davis thomas of wendy's? what's becoming obvious of the snowden affair is the opportunity it provides for other nations to give the united states a big diplomatic middle finger. and while the story still centers on edward snowden's whereabouts and the substance of the documents he leaked and what they revealed, it's also increasingly clear edward snowden is all things to all people, to all nations. hero, traitor, pawn, weapon. he's a fugitive for the digital age. an avatar, whoever the user wants him to be. >>> coming up, the president gave an amazing speech on climate change today. it even included a special quasi secret shout-out that i bet you most people didn't even catch. i'm going to let you in on that next. hoo-hoo...hoo-hoo. hoo-hoo hoo. sir... i'll get it together i promise... heeheehee. jimmy: ronny, how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? ronny:i'd say happier than the pillsbury doughboy on his way to a baking convention. get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save

wendy says when she gave these presentations to the neighborhood watch people, she would say to them, don't follow the person, but call us. >> right. and the whole time i'm sitting here in new york city thinking of the motto if you see something, say something. not if you see something do something. right? >> who does she help? because who does her testimony help? >> well, of course both sides are going to take something from her testimony. for the prosecution, he was supposed to be eyes and ears. he was not supposed to follow, was not supposed to confront. but for the defense, he was supposed to call in, even if there was just something suspicious. he didn't have to see criminal activity. he thought trayvon martin appears suspicious on that night an that's why he called in. >> without the jury present there was this question before the judge of whether previous calls, george zimmerman made several calls to the 911 operators in the 11 months before the shooting and the prosecutors want to play these calls, i guess to establish what? a pattern? >> yeah. there's about a half-a-dozen of

it was killed in large part to wendy davis, a single mother from ft. worth has gone from local hero to national icon overnight all thanks to a grueling ten-hour-plus filibuster that delayed a final vote just long enough the lieutenant governor couldn't sign it before a critical midnight deadline. make no mistake. procedural rules dictated she couldn't eat, couldn't use the bathroom or even lean on her desk for those ten hours. at one point a colleague helped her put on a back brace, which republicans denounced as a violation of the rules. while davis and her throngs of reporters suck succeeded on tuesday. governor rick perry has ordered a special session for monday. the message is clear -- no amount of procedural heroics or passion-filled mobs will kill this bill a second time. what's it all mean for the future of women's rights for women in politics for the political fate of texas, and even the nation? cecile richards is the president of planned parenthood. nia-malika henderson is a reporter with "the washington post." 20 weeks gets the headlines, but

wendy davis alone, sort of. there were thousands of supporters streaming into the capitol all day long. there were wrong lines to get in to see her. starting at 11:00 a.m., things went smoothly about halfway through her planned filibuster, she was challenged by one of her republican colleagues, he accused her of going off topic. the lieutenant governor presiding over the chamber at that time agreed with the republican senator and wendy davis had strike one against her. an hour later they did it again. when a fellow democrat asked for some of her testimony to be repeated. a fellow senator helped her put on a back brace. republicans objected to that. that was strike two, she can only have three of these things go against her before it kills her filibuster. she already had two strikes of the three she's allotted with five more hours still to go. it's basically zero margin for error under a micro scope of a room full of adversaries. even the president of the united states was watching according to twitter. and then

is a wendy's in manitoba, canada, called the t-rex burger. nine patties, cheeseburger, two pounds, four ounces, 3,000 calories, 200 grams of fat, 6,000 milligrams of sodium. costs about 22 bucks. when the wendy's corporate god got wind of this they shut that down. they ordered the local franchisee to stop making the t-rex. for obvious reason, wendy's neither condones nor promotes the idea of anyone consuming nine patty hamburgers in one sitting. they sold like two or three of those per day. >> people bought them. >> did you see the price for a combo? >> throw in a fry. >> need fries with that? >> absolutely. three bucks more. >> for more fries. >> i don't know why anyone would eat one. >> maybe for a family. >> think about what's -- >> you want the combo. >> break it down with the family. i don't know. family of six. i don't know. >> i could say so much but that is insanely stupid i can't believe somebody would buy that. >> don't call 999. >> i will not call 999 about that. that was -- >> that was something. >> coming up next, "the washington

wendy davis, today, responded to the governor. she said his statement is without dignity and tarnishes the high office he holds. they are small words that reflect a dark and negative point of view." rick perry seems to be doing everything in his power to elevate wendy davis, to transform the spark that has arisen in texas into a strong and committed movement. in fact, he seems to be relishing exactly that. >> and just remember this. the louder they scream, the more we know we are getting something done. >> rick perry is getting something done. something that no one has been able to do in texas for the last two decades. and that is bring a texas democratic party that has been comatose for years back to life. and if that happens, if we see an insurgent democratic party reorganize, galvanize, mobilize and grasp its incredible demographic potential in the lone star state, well, then, simply put, the republican party, as we know it, is dead. joining me now is texas state senator laticia van de putte who represents district 26 which inc

that will woman named wendy dorival testified that neighborhood watch people were supposed to be the eyes and ears of the community for the police. they were not supposed to follow suspicious people. they were not supposed to confront suspicious people. but they were supposed to call in. and on cross-examination, she did say that george zimmerman calling in a report of a suspicious person and that's what she thought trayvon martin was was appropriate under the guidelines she had set out for that community. >> is it your view, lisa, that this witness's evidence has been more beneficial today to the prosecution or to the defense? >> you know, it's a close call because the prosecution says that george zimmerman followed trayvon martin, that he set out to go after him to confront him. that hasn't been proven yet. but it does help them that this witness testified that she made it very clear and the witness after her confirmed in that under no circumstances were the neighborhood watch people supposed to follow or confront suspicious people in the community. that's a job for the police. >>

rick perry and wendy davis trade jabs as the filibuster fallout continues. how about this bombshell, martha stewart sexing, one night stands, threesomes. you'll find out what the diva has been up to in the cooler. i am flus sterred. this is "way too early." >>> not necessarily too early or too late. good morning, everybody. i'm brian shactman, friday, june 28th. a blockbuster nba trade on draft night, alex baldwin goes off on a twitter rant and it all has to do with james

and now state senator wendy davis of texas says she personally will filibuster the antiabortion bill and just stand on the floor and personally keep talking until the midnight deadline to stop it from being voted on in the senate. that, of course, would stop everything in the special session from passing. stop a huge transportation spending bill, stop a big juvenile justice bill. but also this ban that would shut down 37 clinics in the state, it would ban abortion everywhere in texas at 20 weeks, it would effectively ban all legal abortion in all of west texas. wendy davis and the democrats say they will hold the floor all night, again, and as long as it takes to stop it. republicans, meanwhile, say they will do anything it takes to get it passed. and the protesters, the citizens' filibuster, has raised a real question as to who is actually going to win this fight. texas, who knew. we'll keep you posted. hey linda! what are you guys doing? having some fiber! with new phillips' fiber good gummies. they're fruity delicious! just two gummies have 4 grams of fiber! to help support regula

the state legislator who stood for 11 hours is democratic state senator wendy davis. she drew national attention when she decided to take on the powerful republican-controlled texas legislature. erica greeter is a senior editor of "the texas monthly." rick perry wasted no time in recognizing a potential political threat. the is what he had to say at a right to life conference thursday. >> she's the daughter of a single woman. she was a teenage mother herself. she managed to eventually graduate from harvard law school and serve in the texas senate. it's just unfortunate that she hasn't learned from her own example, that every life must be given a chance to realize its full potential and that every life matters. >> all right. so, davis responded to the governor's comments friday here on "morning joe." >> i could never for a moment put myself in the shoes of another woman confronting a difficult personal choice. and it really isn't for him to make statements like that. >> so, erica, i understand that this really isn't their first rodeo. what's the back story here between
