look, here's the crazy thing about what errin is just saying.nd anti-democratic. we've talked about that. but it's actually stupid, logically. in wisconsin, the biggest batch of people who don't show up to vote are non-college white voters. white voters who don't have a college degree. who are they voting for in the last election? donald trump. so, not only is it corrupt and they feel like they have to cheat to win, not only is it anti-democratic, i actually don't think it's a good strategy in the long-term for republicans. they've bought in to this b.s. that more voting is good for democrats, which isn't even necessarily true, so it's stupid, in addition to being corrupt. >> well, no one ever accused them of being smart autocrats. >> yeah. i mean, look, that's true. i spent the afternoon talking to chris krebs for the next episode of "the hell and highwater" podcast and they just put out this report on information disorder and how messed up everything is and we had a long discussion. couple things that resonated. one of which is, the notion to

errin, i'm curious your views.vetails with what some of our guests were talking about at the top of the program and whether or not this race will land on the idea that the republican is synonymous with trump, very trumpy, maga, take your pick, or a different kind of republican. che arguing in the racial appeals it's much closer to trumpism. your view. >> well, look, ari, lest there be any confusion, critical race theory is the big lie of 2021. it is, as you mentioned, the modern day southern strategy to appeal to white voters. last year, it was the fear of a rigged election and voter fraud. in 2018, the migrant hoard headed for the border. this is the code buzz word of 2016. that is because race based appeals are an increasingly perennial aspect of politics. it's one former president trump capitalized on his elections, but it's not new to president trump, and current candidate are testing the strategy to see how successful it can remain going forward. >> this really goes to where the politics are at this year and o

also with us, fatima goss graves, president and ceo of the national women's law center and errin hainesman, i just have to ask, up front, when you talk to your constituents, what are they saying about this texas law? what are they saying has changed in their lives and is it depressing people or galvanizing them against the oppressive policies they're seeing out of the governor? >> first of all, i'm delighted to be with these wonderful co-presenters and as well delighted to be with you. they are egregiously engaged and activated but they are engreejsly depressed, certainly for those young women and others who have to face the trauma of being rejected by their ob/gyn, not wanting to be rejected but because of this egregiously unconstitutional law. you know, it has been reported that 33% of the maternal mortality deaths will come about in african-american women. 15% overall. so, they face death if they are, in essence, forbidden from getting good quality healthcare to assist in them expressing their constitutional right of making a choice about abortion. i asked my first question to one of

and i'm very, very happy they are errin fw on the side of caution. >> merck and pfizer are going throughroval for anti-viral pills. dr. jeanette, could they be helpful. >> absolutely. we have a new drug that pfizer is making. also coming from merck. these drugs have been shown to reduce deaths and hospitalization for up to 90% if started early. they're pills. you don't have to have an id for it. if you start it early in the early days of diagnosis of covid, they can be helpful. we need to get it approved rye right away. >> if the markets overreacted today, is it a great time to buy? >> look, i think longer-term, you never bet against america and corporate america and american companies. so maybe we'll get some pickups and we'll end up with bear markets along the way. eventually the markets are going higher and we're going to see moves in many names going forward that are breakthrough technologies in medicine. look what they are great medical companies that have done for the vak seen, basically saved the world in the last year. going to see more of that going forward. >> great to have bot

. >>> so i was talking with my brilliant sister friend errin haines on wednesday night. tearfully testified at his murder trial in wisconsin, like a mini brett kavanaugh. we were talking about how this case reminds us so much of the george zimmerman trial in which zimmerman, an adult, was acquitted on july 13th, 2013 of murdering a teenager, 17-year-old traian basescu. much like the rittenhouse case zimmerman case was fundamentally about american vigilanteism. and whether it is legal for a person not in law enforcement to take it upon themselves to arm themselves with a gunshot and mete out what they deem as justice in the name of self-defense and investigating property crime. according to the laws maneuvered into place by the nra, that is indeed legal in america. statistically mainly if you're white. european history on the american continent from 1619 to today is an almost unbroken record of vigilanteism in the name of defending property rights, whether that property was human and african and enslaved or in the form of wives or daughters who had no individual property
