General election will soon be cast. A handful of states are scheduled to mail out Absentee Ballots in the coming days. North carolina was supposed to be the first state to send out Ballots Yesterday, but that was delayed last minute due to a lawsuit filed by Robert F Kennedy junior who dropped out of the president ial race two weeks ago, but now he wants his name removed from the ballot to prevent spoiling the candidacy of Donald Trump. More than 130,000 voters registered in North Carolina have requested Absentee Ballots so far but it is unclear when they will receive them because the state may have to reprint the ballots which is an effort that could add days to the delay. Meanwhile, among the other states scheduled to begin early voting are illinois, minnesota, virginia and pennsylvania. A Swing State that figures heavily into both campaign electoral strategies. All of that is happening against new developments in the president ial campaign, as well as Donald Trumps legal bowels. Battles. Yesterday, a judge postponed his sentencing In The House many case until after the election, he was scheduled to be sentenced on September 18th and now pushed back until november 26th. Leaving voters guessing whether or not he could face jail time. Donald trump was also back in a courtroom yesterday, for a hearing regarding his appeal in one of the cases brought by the writer e. Jean carroll. Trump and his lawyers are attending to overturn a verdict found her liable for sexually abusing and defaming her. After the verdict, he gave another rambling speech that was difficult to follow and largely served to remind the public of his long history of mistreatment of women and the numerous allegations that have been made against him beyond the one brought by e. Jean carroll. Think of the impracticality of this. Im famous, i am in a plane, the blur in the blame. And i am looking at a woman and i grab her and start kissing her and making out with her. What are the chances of that happening . And frankly, i know youre going to say its a terrible thing, but it couldnt have happened. It didnt happen. And she would not have been the chosen one. She would not have been the chosen one. Just think about that one. She would not have been the chosen one. So it, sexual Assault Or Abuse didnt happen, what if it did happen . If i were going to sexually abuse someone, that wouldnt be the person i would. Just think about that. It was incoherent, offensive, misogynistic. These are part of the reasons why there are a growing list of republicans not only voicing opposition throwing their support behind Kamala Harris. During an event in North Carolina on thursday, the former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney confirmed she will be voting for the democratic nominee. Yesterday, her father Emma Vos President cheney confirmed he will do the same. He said there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic that Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again. As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship. That is why i will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. As for harris, she kept a low profile. Getting ready to face the next hurdle. The democratic nominee has been in pittsburgh, preparing for tuesdays highly anticipated debate which will mark the first time that Harrison Trump will ever meet in person. Joining me now is the political Strategist And Campaign strategist who previously served for the Elizabeth Warren 2020 campaign. Shes also the host of the podcast when we went with my rupert. Do you know but aloe he is a columnist for the msnbc daily newsletter. Welcome to both of you. Great to have you in person. Weve been talking for years and years. You are a policy guru. You know these things, you have worked for candidates. You seem to be attracted to candidates who have deep policy benches. Which brings me to Donald Trumps speech at the economic club. In which he was asked a simple question about Healthcare Policy after Kamala Harris had outlined hers in detail. And he just rambled on and carried on about tariffs on other countries. There is no policy. I think this is important. For guys like me who want to compare policy there is no policy. Its really interesting, for a few weeks we started hearing from republicans urging Donald Trump, make this about policy, dont make it about personal attacks. Cant do it. A fascinating thing to ask of someone who very clearly cannot do that. What he spoke about in that speech, one a very straightforward question was asked, working for families are getting squeezed on costs, what would you do . Talking about tariffs. Again, you have to have a generous reading of what he said to say it was a policy. But he doesnt give any, economists agree and economists never agree, those terrorists, unless he is also going after corporate price gouging. We are going to pay for it. The same families he is talking about are going to pay more. He is forcing inflation. Exactly. Unless he can. 2, this is the legislation i am supporting, this is how i would be getting my colleagues who have blocked affordable childcare every time its come up, they are not getting specific. That is what people want to hear right. He needs to say, this is what im going to do. Is an argument about how much of Donald Trump we should error or not air. I am fully on the page of Hearing Lots of Donald Trump because of what he says. As a lawyer, i want to remind people, that comment he made about Sexual Assault. Wouldnt have been my choice. It is a discredited trope that Sexual Assault is about whether you are attracted to someone or physical attraction or any of that. It is violence and its about power. Absolutely. Going slightly back, he said the idea that i just grabbed her and started kissing her, we saw the Access Hollywood tape. You bragged about doing that. I dont have to wait, i can grab her and start kissing her. He literally confessed to what he did to the woman on the plane. What maya and others have said about Donald Trump On Policy , his brain is broken. His brain doesnt work the way it did. But he knows this. The message is not policy. They are saying sexism and racism. He knows it and we know it. No one knows his face better than Donald Trump. Demeaning a woman gets people excited. That is what this man is about. He is on a message that he believes will help him when. At the economic club, that wasnt a rally. The only people in that room were economists, journalists, Business People and economic journalists. Nobody booed. I am a member. I am embarrassed. This is the second time ive said this on tv and they will tell me to give up my membership. If they want, ill do it. Its embarrassing. Everyone in that Room Shouldve been doing or yelling out terrorists dont actually make things cheaper for people. That is such an important point. Donald trump cannot get a different bar. He needs to get covered as someone who is trying to be the president of the United States. Who very clearly does not understand what working families are dealing with. And it does not have a plan to help anyone. And that has to be if he can stand on that stage and come up with this is what im going to do, speak to not a rally of voters but to independents who are voting this into a and who are not animated by racism and sexism. Everyone needs to respond and hold him accountable for what he actually says. Including those of us who understand economics, who are in rooms where he lies and it does things like this. Going back to your lawyer days, the debate is going to be between a prosecutor and a criminal. But in the court, you dont play to the person being prosecuted, you play to a jury and judge. What happens on tuesday . Kamala harris does not seem to get rattled by Donald Trump. She needs to not go for him in the debate, she needs to convince Everybody Else who is watching that this is who he is. I think the biggest challenge for her and we know what trump is going to say, we know the lies he is going to say. He repeats them all the time. Like everyone wanted all roe v. Wade overturned. How do you deal with that . Do you go Line Number seven Line Number eight. Or do you have a little pin that lights up and keeps updating the number of lies. Its been eight seconds since Donald Trump last lied. Its not a hard challenge, she is up to it. How do you call out the lies that are important and not spend your time Fact Checking . The moderators are not going to. She will prosecute him the way she did with brett kavanaugh. She will crossexamine where she can. On the important issues. She has a great sense of humor, i hope we see that as well. She does. The humor they tried to use against her and theyre laughing. Maya, what should she do in terms of policy . She is comfortable discussing policy. We saw that in the interview with the unabashed on cnn. Donald trump doesnt deliver a lot of that. Does it pay her to lean into policy . When people youve worked with Have Lee did do it, when Elizabeth Warren leaned into it, i thought it was great. Some people thought that was policy. What do you do in a case like this where people want answers, but they fall for his nonsense . I think Elizabeth Warren is a perfect example of this. She leaned into her strength, and she spoke about issues and spoke about as someone who understands them. That is what i think people are looking for. There are a lot of people for whom policy will make the decision but they wont say i am a policy voter. I need to know that you understand this issue and you are connecting with this the way i am and understand what my family is dealing with. I think Kamala Harris does that incredibly well. And that is what she needs to do. I think that the tough thing about this situation is Donald Trump, he is going to go out there and lie. When you are willing to lie, you can say anything and she is going to be constrained by trh. Lly wanting to say the it sets up what could be a difficult situation. If She Benzene leans in to what she does well, i think that is where she is the strongest. Great to see you both.

That is a statement of fact. Ive been repeating it a lot recently because for a lot of americans, even many who consider themselves supporters of womens right to choose an abortion, it does not feel true that abortion is healthcare. And thats because the Antiabortion Movement in a very effective job over the decades peddling lies and disinformation about abortion. Polling has consistently shown that most americans never believe the most extreme misinformation, that abortion is murder for example. But it is a subject that made a lot of people uncomfortable. Most people who knew enough about back alleys and Coat Hangers understood that abortion was necessary, but it was also an uncomfortable discussion. Not only did most people not want to talk about it, relative you flew were willing to defend it. The loudest voices were always the ones shouting about abortion, lies about abortion. Only now, in this brutal Post Roe Era marked by stories of women leading out in Parking Lots and nearly dying of infections, losing their organs because their doctors were barred from giving them lifesaving abortions that were needed to manage their miscarriages. Only now against this reallife dystopian backdrop are we as a country beginning to understand that abortion is healthcare. The American Medical Association says it, the college of obstetrics and gynecologists says it, the American Academy Of Pediatrics says it, every reputable scientific Research Organization understands that abortion is healthcare. If you been abortion, you been healthcare for women. That has also been true. The people behind the Antiabortion Movement who worked for decades to overturn roe v. Wade have always known that to be true. They know when they voted to defund Planned Parenthood that they are not only defending abortion, but also yearly checkups, cancer screenings, birth control, basic healthcare for women. They know that Banning Abortion is banning lifesaving care for pregnant patients who are miscarrying. To be quite clear, they also know that forced birth of any kind for anyone who cannot or does not want to remain pregnant is immoral and literally a human rights violation. According to Amnesty International and the United States. Nations. They know that when they pledge to endow and protect fertilized eggs with legal rights, which they do in project 2025, that they would not just be Banning Abortion and some forms of birth control, but also banning Fertility Treatments like ivf that have helped millions. They know all of this. And they do not care. Because the most foundational light of the movement has always been that they are in any way concerned with the Health And Safety of babies. They are not. Everyone of these Wish List crackdowns that are becoming reality is the same. Each one of these Antiabortion Laws Exerts Government Control over women exclusively. Not men. That is what they wanted all along and that is what they are getting. After a quick break, i will talk to a woman whose Healthcare And Fertility become subject to that State Control and hear the story of how she is fighting back. Ighting back.

Recipes written by hand and lost to time. Are now being analyzed and restored using the power of dell ai. When the Jobs Ruling was handed down in 2022 and legal protections for reproductive Health Care blown open, The Big Question was what is the next freedom to go . A new battleground emerged. Ivf. It is a safe process, a miracle for folks who want to grow their families and like abortion, it is also healthcare. But in february of this year, Alabama Supreme Court Empowered by The End of roe ruled that frozen embryos used in ivf were considered unborn children. Appending the legality of ivf. The court ruled that alabamas wrongful death act, which allows minors parents to sue for damages applied. To all unborn children, regardless of their location. Apart from the crude reference to a womans body as a location, this ruling threatened to and ivf in alabama because the process typically fertilizes more eggs than will be used and not all embryos survive the process. The Alabama Legislature did pass a bill in a vivid bid to restart, but the clinic involved in the decision said the Language Wasnt clear enough to protect them. Fetal personhood has long been a staple of the Antiabortion Movement, but this extended beyond fetal personhood, reaching for embryonic personhood. Even outside the womb. Throughout the ruling, Justice J Mitchell of the Alabama Supreme Court refers to fertilized eggs as extra uterine children. Extra uterine children. Embryos. Almost immediately, people felt the effect of this ruling. Our next guest, latorya beasley, wanted to grow her family through ivf and w
