honor the skepticism that people feel and say, i've got it and i know. it is justified. here the policy -- that we will do to increase housing, increase economic opportunity and actually use a system that has its measures of brokenness as a measure of rebuilding and healing. donald trump is not offering that. he is simply a vessel to the frustration. but he is not a vehicle to the solution. >> governor westmore of the state of maryland, i appreciate it, sir. thank you. >> i appreciate you. that is "all in" on this wednesday night. the power of your vote is hosted by -- and that starts right now. good evening. i'm alex wagner here with my colleague and friend joy reid. and can you believe it, my

friends? we are six days out from election day. today vice president kamala harris is framing the choice on november 5th as a fight for freedom. >> it is a fight for freedom. like the fundamental freedom of a woman to be able to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do. and we all remember how we got here. donald trump habdled it with threeab members of the united states supreme court they they would undo protections like roe v. wade and they did. now in america 1 in 3 women lives in a state with a trump abortion ban. >> likely voters ranked abortion as the second most important issue next to immigration. but among women abortion is tied would the economy at number one.

that's part of what is driving the largest gender gap in our country's electoral history. and to that end, trump has spent much of his time on a tour of the manoverse, speaking on a podcast to a young men who list to joe rogan, tony hinge cliff, a h offering prime time slots t businessmen who compare the president of the united states to a prostitute. >> she's a fake, a fraud, she's a pretender. her and her pump handlers will destroy our country. >> even trump supporter nikki haley istr not down for this. >> you hadfo speakers at madiso square garden referring to her and her pumps. that is not the way to win women. this isn't a time to get overly masculine with this bromance they've got going. 53% of the electorate are women.

women will vote. >> and when donald trump has spoken to women, he has promised to be their hero, their protector. >> i'm going to protect our women from criminals coming into our country, going up to the suburbs, and doing really bad things. are there any women in this giant, massive arena that do not want protection? please raise your hand. do women want to be protected? i said, well, i'm going to do it whether the women like it or not, i'm going to protect them. >> protect yourselves at the ballot box. here's their new ad narrated by julia roberts. >> in the one place in america where women still have the right to choose, you can vote any way

you want. and no one will ever know. >> did you make the right choice? >> sure did, honey. >> remember, what happens in the booth, stays in the booth. vote harris-walz. >> what happens in the booth stays in the booth is more than just a tag line. it is a message that is being echoed by harris surrogates including liz cheney and michelle obama. >> you can vote your conscience and not ever have to say a word to anybody. and there will be millions of republicans who do that on november 5th. >> if you are a woman who lives in a household of men that don't listen to you or value your opinion, just remember that your vote is a private matter. regardless of the political views of your partner, you get

to choose, you get to use your judgment to cast your vote for yourself and the women in your life. remember, women standing up for what is best for us can make the difference in this election. >> and it seems like women might be listening, casting mail-in ballots, voting early, and making election day plans to vote for kamala harris knowing full well that that the men in their lives are voting for trump. some of them are even not so secretly posting about it on tiktok and making canceling out yourak husband's vote an actual trend on social media. but how many of these stealthy female voters actually exist? and what does it mean for the overall math on election day? joy, there's going to be a little box that appears on people's screens and show kamala harris taking over madison squareg garden in wisconsin. first, we've been talking about

women, we've beenin talking abo men of color, we've been talking about women of color. this conversation in particular, thisth notion of women whose husbands are voting for trump, who want to go quietly vote for harris is tailored, tailored to conservative white women. >> 100%. i think what we have to remember is that white women have only been free for about 70 years. inr 1973, the same year women t a right to abortion, women could still not open a bank account or get a credit card in their own name without their husband's signature. and the idea of particularly for white women of being the protectee was part of the culture. so, yeah, if your husband voted for ronald reagan, you voted for ronald reagan. it was a family vote and you agreed. you could see it track in the polls, white women, white men, 60-40 republicans for decade.

then something happened in 1942 is that for the first time white women who only gained rights through acts of the supreme court or acts of congress. the 19th amendment, black women had to take another few decades to get it. but it gave them rights, gave rights added to them, roe v. wade added to them. the right to contraception added to them in the 1960s, the right to open their own bank accounts. marital rape was legal until 1991, but that was done. forbu the first time white wome had their rights taken away. and i think that the polls and pundits are undercounting how angry they are and how -- how much of a fight they're ready to get in with these men who are saying i'm your protector, vote the way i vote and do what i say. >> yeah. it's so interesting to me that it's framed in this i know you have to keep it a secret from your man, but go and do it anyway, right? it's a nod to the fundamentally

conservative patriarchal dynamics of some of these conservative families but also acknowledging women are going to do what they're going to do. and clearly trump abortion bans are not in their best interest. >> it's not justhe that. the number one beneficiary of affirmative action in this country is white women. white women benefitted more than people of color, it's them. the idea of dei benefits them. the mad men era is seen as the good old days by men. but for women it was an era where they weren't free, and so i think we're just not able to even poll or prognosticate based on anything that happened before 2022 because what i'm seeing just anecdotally is a lot of conservative women who otherwise would just vote republican because it's part of their culture. just like black folks are democrats. they're republicans but they're mad, and we don't know that means this big turnout early

vote. i find it hard to believe it's a big turnout eager to vote for a guy they need protection from based on the two dozen odd women who have accused him of sexual harassment or abuse. >> there is one woman probably going to be making the case for those women to come out of the woodwork and vote and she's speaking right now in madison, wisconsin. let's listen to vice president kamala harris. >> and wisconsin, if you give me the chance to fight on your behalf atgh president, there is nothing in the world that will stand in my way of fighting for you. and here's the thing -- and here's the thing. we know who donald trump is. this is not someone who is thinking about how to make your

life better. this is someone who is unstable, obsessed -- obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power. and in less than 90 days it's either going to be him or me in the oval office. and here's what -- here's what you know, and here's what we know. if he is elected -- it's not going to happen, but if he were elected, on day one donald trump would walk into that office with an enemies list. you know, he talks about the enemies from within. when i am elected, i will walk in with a to-do list focused on

your -- and at the top -- at the top of my list is bringing down your cost of living. thatn will be my focus every single day as president. i will give a middle class tax cut to over 100 million americans. we will enact the first ever federal ban on corporate price gouging on groceries. we will fight to make sure hardworking americans can actually afford a place to live. and if any of you out there are caring for an elderly parent,

well, my plan will cover the cost of home care under medicare so that seniors can get the help and care they need to stay in their own homes. it's about dignity. it's about dignity. and my plan will lower the cost of child care, cut taxes for small businesses -- do we have any small business owners here? i love our small businesses. my plan will lower health care costs because, by the way, i believe access to health care should be a right and not just a privilege of those who can afford it. it's about values. it's about values. on the other hand, donald trump's answer to the financial pressures you face, well, it's the same as it was last time. another trillion dollars in tax cuts for billionaires and big

corporations. and this time he will pay for it with a 20% national sales tax on everything you buy that is imported. clothes, food, toys, cellphones. a trump sales tax would cost the average american family nearly $4,000 more a year. and on top of that, you would pay even more if donald trump finally gets his way and gets rid of the affordable care act. remember how many times he's tried to do that. and you're booing because if he were successful, it would throw millions of americans off of their health insurance and take usur back to when insurance companies could deny people with pre-existing conditions. you remembere what that was li? well, we are not going back!

>> that was vice president harris making the third of her three appearances today in key battleground states. she's there in madison, wisconsin, at the aliant energy center. joy, we were talking before we dipped into the vice president's remarks about white women in particular and the gender gap, and i think it bears reminding our audience of kind of what the chasm was in terms of women who went for trump and women who went for biden. but before we do that, i want to bring in two women who know well about mobilizing the female vote this election cycle and others. thee founder of win with black women, the first grassroots group to galvanize support for kamala harris' presidential run after she announced her campaign 101 days ago today. whoo! also joining us is shannon watts

who then answered the call to bring white women onboard for the harris campaign. so good to have you guys here. white womento in 2020 voted 55% for donald trump. white women 52% trump, 43% clinton. black women were 4% trump, 94% hillary clinton. it feels like women generally are very electrified in this moment. i wonder if you can talk a little bit i about how you're seeing the sort of grassroots enthusiasm and whether there needs to be a different message on the subset you're talking to? >> i certainly can see just looking at the audience, just the electricity we're seeing across theit country last nightn washington, d.c. at the ellipse. now in madison earlier in north carolina. and we are seeing an enthusiasm

particularly among women but not just the conversations that they're having with each other but how they're showing up to early vote, seeing large numbers of women, black wowomen, white women, all women of all ethnicities showing up. many ofsh them posting enthusiastically about that ng vote. you know, this notion of the denial and canceling out -- >> your husband. >> your husband's vote. but i think what is happening and the difference is that, you know, in 2016, many of those women, that 52, 55% that voted for donald trump, they lived with the donald trump presidency. and i think that in this day and age we've seen the repercussions of what a trump u.s. supreme court looks like and the removal of so many of our rights. and i think women are fed up, and we are going to exercise our -- our right to stand.

and we're also excited about what vice president kamala harris stands for and what she means for the future of women in this country. and quite frankly, we know women can get the job done. >> indeed. >> shannon, i've got to ask there's reporting in politico that the harris campaign is reallyar zeroing in on moderate suburban women and in particular non-college educated white women. canedhi you talk about what you experience has been in terms of motivating women who may be on the fence, women who have husbands who may be trump supporters, women who aren't sure where they want to be on november 6th, 2024. is it the post-dobbs landscape that is really shaping voter opinion right now as you see it? >> i think that's part of it, but i think it's a bigger issue -- which is a real feeling that donald trump and j.d. vance and their supporters hate women.

and i don't use that word loosely. the campaign brought it home in that rally donald trump had. and tonight he's insisting he's going to be the protector of women whether they want it or not. i think what's interesting also is what we're seeing in all these whisper campaigns. you all showed ads relevant to it. whisper campaigns are how women have shared things for a millennia from things like menopause to menstruation. whether it's telling women they need to have conversations with their moms and their sisters who may be a part of that 53% who voted the wrong way the last time, whether it's the sticky notes we're seeing left in bathrooms and in airplanes, all over the place particularly in red states, or the ads that you showed, right? there's this group called the fresh registry, and they put out a question whether people knew, women knew that when they voted,

it was private. and they didn't know. and it started this whole campaign to give women information through a hot line about the fact that that their vote is private. so all of this is persuasion to change the a hearts and minds o the 53% of women who we hope will vote the right way this time. >> you know, shannon brings up such a good point about the hatred that some women feel as being directed at them by the trump campaign. it is -- i guess the word is ironic. galling could be another word that trump is out there saying how many women want me to be yourme protector at the same ti he is literallyyo attacking a woman over and over and over again in the most vulgar language possible, a woman who has to be the vice president of the united states of america. he has people up there describing her as a prostitute. he uses expletives to describe her vice-presidency. he could not be more insulting, could not put more of a target on her back, and yet he positions himself a to be a

patriarch and protect women. it doesn't jive. >> there are women who are married toen a trump, you know, somebody who's supposed to be their protector but is harming them. donald trump, i think e. jean carroll would have thought of him as an acquaintance that is safe to be around in a bergdorf goodman. and literally confused his ex wife for her and thought they were the same person. in a photo. donald trump hates women. donald trump used to run beauty pageants and people at the teenagers. he's either lurid towards women or he's dangerous to women, you know, he's vulgar. the campaign he's running is a campaign to attract men. they went to the manosphere. they'rean going to man only blo, going to man-only podcasts. >> he's wearing an orange vest in a garbage truck today.

that's like my 5-year-old's dream. what happens when you're older and you're a guy. you can sit in an escavator, too. it's like the most basic kindergarten version of masculinity. >> and the kindergarten version from the 1990s. he's bringing out hulk hogan. their strategy is overperform with men and also overperform with young men who might be in cells or angry or hate women. to shannon's point, it is an anti-woman campaign that's also saying to c women you need to b okay with this. because the only way you can be protected is someone like trump stopping the brown and black people from raping you in the street because they're coming over the border to get you. it's sort of the way they used to get pitmen lynched kind of -- >> it was like white women need

to be protected from the black and brown menace. that's exactly the position rhetorically trump has been using at his rally. you mentioned early voting, and i to think this is important to highlight to everybody. this is new information we have. there's currently 56 million early votes have been cast nationally. 53% of them were cast by women. shannon, when you hear that statistic, should democrats be rejoicing? do you think that's an indicator if women are voting early in those numbers larger than we expected, thoses are probably democratic votes? or do you think sis is going to be assi divided as it has been 2016 and 2020? >> no, i know it with my heart and soul that those are votes from women who are protesting the hatred that they feel. and look, brittney cunningham, the activist says your whiteness will not save you from what the patriarchy has in store for you, right? i think women saw in 2016 when hillary clinton lost and all the

trump abortions bans and all the things that happened that was true, that their whiteness could not save them. i'm sorry it took so long for us to vote in not just white women's best interest but all women's best interest. when you talk about the gender gap, right, somehow it's the economy men care about, i don't think that's true. i think it's about preserving the patriarchy and i think women see that and they want to burn it down. >> tell us what you really feel. shannon, thank you so much for time. so great to get your perspective. we really, really appreciate it tonight. we have much i more we want to discuss withor you.di joy reid, you're not going anywhere. i'm not letting you go. when we get back, how much will the issue of abortion factor into women's votes this year? we'reth going to talked to pland parenthood. they are both coming up next. stay with us. p next stay with us

it's been a central theme of vice president kamala harris's campaign. bodily autonomy and the danger for women and girls when those freedoms are taken away. today propublica reported on the story a young woman pregnant with her second child who died of sepsis just one week after texas' abortion ban went into effect in 2021. despite being diagnosed with a miscarriage in progress, doctors said they could not treat her, meaning provide an abortion, until her fetus no longer had a heartbeat. propublica writes this. quote, for 40 hours the anguished 28-year-old mother prayed for doctors to help her. all the while her uterus exposed to bacteria. three days after she delivered, she died of an infection. the more than one dozen medical

experts who reviewed her medical records called her case horrific, astounding, and egregious, and said her death was preventable. joining us now is alexis magill johnson, president and ceo of planned parenthood action fund, and jessica valenti, author of abortion, our bodies, our lies. these stories were horrific and terrifying and entirely predictable and predicted by those who said do not overturn roe. >> entirely predictable, and i think about her family, candy miller's family in georgia. the -- the horror that they are -- they went through, right, seeking access, desperate access to care. and that's the thing about the providers, right? because the providers wanted to give that care, right? they were trained to give that care. they were desperate to give that

care, and there was some administrator, some lawyer in the hospital somewhere who said we have to respect what these politicians have done. and we know at no point do americans believe that politicians are more qualified than doctors or families who make decisions about their own bodies and languishing and dying. >> this was before roe was overturned. that means when roe was overturned, there was information out there. this case hadn't come to light yet obviously, but this case just shows even before that happened, we all can knew what happened if women kbt get an abortion and texas did this bounty hunter law anyway. >> right. texas passed this abortion ban even though roe hadn't been overturned yet. anti-abortion activists and legislators knew this was going to happen, right? they planned for this. they knew very well what these laws would do. they're trying to playing it

right now as if this is surprising to them, as if this is a tragedy. they planned for these tragedies. they knew this was going to happen. they knew that women were going to die and they passed these laws anyway. i spent the whole day being so angry and furious about this. you know, not only reading this horrific story but watching the anti-abortion movement's response to this. >> i'm -- you know, what you say i believe, jessica. and unless you don't understand what happens in pregnancy complications, which if you're writing law, you should have a passing -- passing understanding of that. and yet, they seem really caught flat-footed, right? like the anti-choice movement seems really to be in many ways on defense around this because we're championing women's stories, we're drawing attention to issues of miscarriage and a lot of pregnancy related complications that we don't as a society normally talk about.

but dobbs has just blown the lid off that. what you now see in the form of retreat is a bunch of republican lawmakers who either want to pretend they're not pushing to restrict choice and bodily autonomy, they're not using the language the anti-choice movement has used if historically they're talking about fetal person hood rather than anti-abortion legislation. that all seems to me to be a movement that truly did not understand the pandora's box they were opening up. >> they always tried to isolate abortion as not part of reproductive health care. they tried to separate it out from, you know, the broad range of what -- you know, how we would manage pregnancy outcomes. and so when it really starts to come to the fore, when the stories really start coming out, they're just running the other way. and the thing about it is they're also looking at every time reproductive freedom has been on the ballot, we've won. and they realize it's completely

politically inconvenient in this moment. they're flip-flopping and trying to walk back but they can't walk back from these stories, from the horror, the chaos and confusion they brought. >> i wonder what you guys think about this reporting we had, this a "the washington post" story by caroline kitchener who's a great reporter on this topic. the headline is these women are all in on abortion rights and these are republicans who plan to split their ticket on abortion. voting for an abortion referendum, i think there are ten states that have an abortion referenda in november and vote for trump. they said they were willing to give trump the benefit of the doubt with some feeling reassured on recent promises not to crack down further on abortion. >> it's pretty unbelievable, but his messaging about giving abortion back to the states, and he keeps repeating this phrase again and again, the will of the people. i find it completely unbelievable, but it really has been making headway with

republican women voters. i think it just gave them enough of an excuse to do what they want today do anyway. they feel like, oh, okay, and what he's doing is he's giving them something really important. he's giving them the false notion of a choice, that they still have a choice. >> here's the challenge, is they're going to get a really unpleasant surprise if when he comes in, j.d. vance and his friends at project 2025 say we're not going to pass an abortion bill, we're just going to enforce the comstock act because that's all they have to do. i think what a lot of people are compartmentalizing it to, if i can just control what happens in my state, i'll be safe. that's not the case. if you have a president, especially a vice president like j.d. vance who's a zealot, they don't need a national abortion ban. >> they don't need a national abortion ban. the reality is we're already living, right, in a world where i've been in i don't know seven states in the last ten days.

every time i land i have a different set of rights. i'm already living a states rights when i bring my 10 and 15-year-old girls to see my mother in georgia, they already have less rights than my 84-year-old mother had and she lived in jim crow. is that they can see you can be free in this set of dirt but not free on this. >> now we're getting like fugitive slave like laws. >> whether it's period trackers or women traveling close to frustate to seek bodily freedom, the orwellian aspect knows no bounds. i shouldn't be surprised we edge closer and closer to a hands maid scenario, but this is the modern republican party. >> this is the modern republican party. you can't run from stories like this. you can't run from the reality

people are seeing on the ground, and i think that's what we're seeing with voters. voters can see what's happening in their communities. they can see what's happening with their friends and families, and it really is not going to be very long before every single person in this country has been touched by an abortion ban in one way or another. >> alexis, where are men on this? it is appalling to me it does take sperm to make a baby, last time i checked. and that usually comes not always but from them. how is this still being seen as a women's issue? >> we have seen a lot of progress with men. anecdotally being on the ground, yesterday i was in texas with colin allred. you could look at the reporters covering it and you could see

the light bulbs going off what is that my sister, my wife, very much like michelle obama's speech. it is coming into the conversation. and young men, i think, you know, we've looked at the gender gap but you sit on the college campus and talk to some men and they're like young men and they're like this is not a gender issue. my life, my career, my family, my girlfriend, you know, my friends. and i do think that the opportunity upside to really bring more men, in particular young men along, more young men along, more brothers along all of that is there. >> jessica, thank you. we will obviously continue this conversation because apparently these tragic cases are not going to stop anytime soon. and we'll be right back. p anytin and we'll be right back.

i think that the comment made by really both of them because there's really two of them about being garbage, maybe 250 million people. they shouldn't be talking. that's like deplorable and this is deplorable for hillary. >> donald trump turned up in wisconsin this afternoon with a custom maga garbage truck waiting for him on the tarmac, a dream come true for donald trump and an apparent nod to his comments last night. he kept that safety vest on for his rally in green bay. joining us is maya wily, president and ceo on the

conference of human and civil rights. donald trump and high visibility safety vest he refuses to take off after riding around in a garbage truck all day. thoughts. >> and after calling us a trash can country. >> yes. >> let's just put all that symbolism into what he's actually called all of us and our very country, and thain he's got the symbolism of driving around in a trash truck. and just had a rally right here in new york city with a continuous spew of racism, anti-semitism against puerto ricans, against black people, against jews. so i think if we want to talk about deplorable, if we want to talk about categorizing people, i think we have to say what's worst? joe biden making a statement

that joe biden made, not kamala harris -- >> and then proceeding to try and clarify that. >> and then proceeding to try and clarify that statement, or outwardly endangering the lives of people based on who they are like haitian americans, trashing puerto rican americans, saying and doing things that have literally stoked and incited vigilanteism, including in some instances to try and come between lawful voters and their ability to vote. so if we compare all that to this and then his efforts to just try to show he's in touch, all i can say is what he has shown us who he is, and he has repeated it and put it on repeat, and it has been much more fundamentally a danger to the lives of real people. >> i have thoughts on the biden,

garbage controversy. i'm sure you do, joy, and i want to get yours first because michelle obama day ago talked about the double standard here. what trump's comments elicit in the media and in general public discourse. and, you know, what kamala harris' standard she's held in terms of the policy she outlines, everything else. here's joe biden who's not even on the ticket and there's a fire storm of controversy around him. this is predating the biden comment but i think these words hold true. let's take a listen. >> we expect her to be intelligent and articulate, to have a clear set of policies, to never show too much anger to prove time and time again that she belongs. but for trump, we -- we expect nothing at all.

no understanding of policy, no ability to put together a coherent argument, no honesty, no decency, no morals. >> boom. i mean the reality is let's just be honest, it's fake outrage. i'm sorry, permit me to just clutch my pearls. oh, my goodness, donald trump and his friends are offended people might have called them names. boo bloody hoo. joe biden is not running for president. joe biden no matter what he says is not relevant to the campaign. >> and just to be clear repeatedly saying i'm not calling trump supporters garbage. >> yes. that guy is garbage. >> yes, tony hingeeclif. there's been a clarification issued fortwith.

>> people should move on from that. he's never worked a day in his life. he's actually never done a real day of work in his life. he's trying to play dress up to pretend he can relate to regular people. he's put more people in danger just by opening his mouth. he and his running mate, right, so joe biden is not putting anybody in danger. what is interesting is that donald trump climbed into a garbage truck after a guy he hired and whose speech his campaign vetted to take out the "c" word so they wouldn't offend more women even by haying on them. he called puerto rico an island of a garbage --

>> donald trump actually here's his excuse for tony hingecliffe. let's take a listen. >> i don't know anything about the comedian. i don't know who he is. i've never seen him. i heard he made a statement. but he's a comedian. what can i tell you? i know nothing about him. i don't know who he is. >> it's always the same thing with him, and it's the hypocrisy of every aspect of what donald trump and maya angelo said it best, when someone shows you who they are, believe it the first time. and i think we have to believe that what donald trump has showed us over and over and over

again that he just encompasses racist values. he encompasses sexism and anti-semitism and just all of the hate, the hate against our muslim brothers and sisters across the country and just hate against women. and the fact that he climbed into this -- this garbage truck, right, on the heels of this event and then to sit there and say i know nothing about this man. yes, you do. your campaign heard about this man and heard what he said and followed him on stage and you did not say anything about it. he's had an opportunity and he's had multiple opportunities to say i do not stand for that, but he has because that is part of what this campaign is driving this, hate and trying to complete this divide in this

country but it's not working. i think it's had an opposite effect. >> it's not -- i don't know who the guy is. >> on stage listening and he doesn't know anyone who he appointed to office who wrote project 2025. >> he doesn't know any of those justices in the supreme court saying he was going to put on the supreme court to reverse roe v. wade. he doesn't know any of that. i'm telling you he moonwalks better than michael jackson. >> by the way, he's running for a job in which your principal job is hiring people and your organization run is usually a goodaidation for how you're going to run the country. so you're saying you held what was supposed to be your biggest event, your closing statement, your big dream of being ipmadison square garden, and you have no idea who the people are who opened for the event?

do you even manage your campaign directly? who's in charge? if you don't know who this guy is, somebody vetted his speech, someone hired him, and now you're casting him and you're not involved in the campaign. >> i think part of it is he doesn't actually want to cast him off entirely because the machismo and anti-semitism and racism very much has a home in the maga coalition. my heart does not go out to donald trump, but he is in the strange place, right? he knows that tony has done damage to him, many voters but especially publicly puerto rican voters who could decide this election especially in the state of pennsylvania. at the same time he knows that the comedy lands with a bunch of bros he is trying to get to show up to the polls. and so a disavowal, i mean, to your point, is not really possible. >> remember on january 6th it was proud boys and oath keepers and extremist groups. remember what he said in a

presidential debate, stand back and standby. remember what he has -- and who some of his major supporters -- steve bannon has been organizing the extremists globally. and all of this has been happening in plain sight, in plain view, and explicitly. so none of this, none of this, none of this is different from donald trump rather than how direct from and overt and the permission structure to be overtly racist, to be overtly sexist, to be overtly extremist, and that is the reality, this is who he's always shown us who he is. remember back in the '70s and the central park five. there is an unbroken chain here around trump's racism.

>> and to your point, maya, it's this very clear line. it is a very clear line. it's not fuzzy. it's not gray. it is very clear in terms of who he is, how dangerous he is. this is someone that incited violence on our country. this is someone who continues -- continues to -- to really galvanize around this point that he wants to destroy enemies in this country, that patriots and people who dare to speak truth to power are enemies. and he wants to use the military to take them out. and so he is very dangerous. he is dangerous for our country, and he has no real policy agenda for our country. all he has is hate and division in our country, and i think that what we're seeing in the large numbers of early voting and americans and young voters, we are just going to in this

country i believe on tuesday see that america is saying enough is enough. >> i will say he thinks the garbage truck thing is working for him, but actually it might be working against him. >> he knows trash is trash, right? >> thank you for your time, ladies. we appreciate you. we'll be right back. stay with us. with us

as the country barrels towards an election that is almost certain to feature numerous election related lawsuits, today the supreme court decided to allow republican officials in virginia to purge voter rolls ahead of election day. the decision was, of course, 6-3 along ideological lines.

joy? >> what happened to not making decisions that can alter the course of an election within 60 days of an election? >> so in theory so the state supreme court in virginia was actually issuing a decision that the republicans in the lawsuit said was changing election law, so the supreme court had, i guess, a bit of cover there. but make no mistake if the supreme court is the deciding body in this election -- >> yeah. harris is cooked. >> well, i just think the conservative bent of the court will make it known. >> the problem is john roberts is samuel aleto without the flags at homes. he wants the same things. >> he does have a collection of insurrectionist flags flying at his homes. their monarch has got to be king but it's got to be a republican

king. >> we very much have some heartening early vote numbers of people who care about democracy. you and i will be reunited once again hopefully over man bag of lays potato chips. we love them. they power us. it has been a joy and a thrill to sit here. >> always so much fun, alex. >> thank you, my friend. thank you for watching our election special, your power, your vote. it has been a joy to be with you. it never gets old. just keep workshoping. >> i'm going to workshop it. >> "way too early" with jonathan lemire is coming up next. they've treated you like garbage, frankly. they've treated you like garbage. you know what, the truth is they've treated our whole country like garbage whether they meant to or not because they're grossly incompetent people. >> firstly, i think the president has explained what he meant, but i said it
