michelle carter was trying to talk him out of it. >> a very different take on michelle. >> michelle for a year and a half tried to persuade him to not commit suicide. when "dateline" continues. plan is right for them. hey, that's me. i barely know where to start. well, start here with me, karen. i'm a licensed humana sales agent. well, it's nice to meet you karen. i'm john smith. hi john. at humana we know you're unique so you have different needs from other john smiths. yeah, i've always thought so. and together we can find a plan that's right for you. great! i go to the doctor a couple of times a year and i have some prescriptions. but i'm never fully sure what's covered and what's not. with humana's all-in-one medicare advantage plans you get coverage for hospital stays, doctor visits and part d prescription drug benefits. all for an affordable and sometimes no monthly plan premium. do you have any more information? sure, i'll get a decision guide in the mail to you today. they're free. finally, someone who understands the real me. call or go online now to get your free decision guid

michelle, i'm going to start with you and reproductive rights. can we pull up the map of what could happen in the states if the court overturned roe. when i talked to groups on the ground, they say they have been preparing for this reality for a while. they knew it was coming, that makes it no less devastating. republicans have largely been able up to this point, michelle, to push anti-choice efforts, knowing that the courts would likely overturn them, that they would rarely need to live with the reality of these laws. but they would get to show anti-choice advocates that they were trying to move the needle. what happens politically if anti-choice forces actually continue to succeed at dismantling abortion access across this country? >> you know, i think that it depends to some degree on what the decision on the mississippi law looks like. if they just strike down roe, my sense is that will be an earthquake, that that will be the thing that rouses the women who marched, you know, on the day after donald trump's inauguration. that will be the thin

michelle, i want to take a wider view of the court as its skreblt slips away. "the washington post" writing, even the 6-3 division understates the tilt. the conservatives are much further to the right than the remaining liberals to the left. this is the most conserative court since the 1930s. and uniquely, one that ideological blocks aligns with the party of the president that appointed him. republicans working to restrict voting as the nation becomes more diverse. how is all of this, michelle, part of a bigger strategy for republicans to maintain power as their base shrinks? >> i think that one reason that the court is in such ill repute, now irreversibly associated with donald trump. it's the trump court. you have a president who was never elected by the majority of the voters, right? the second republican to become president without winning the popular vote in this century. and so, you have a situation -- look. the biggest problem in america politics are overriding crisis is minority rule, is the way changing demographics in an increasing urban and rural spl

and so now michelle carew, has handed in her recognition. and she will no longer be the admissions committed of county texas. she told the tribune today that when i started out, election officials were highly respected. now we are made out to be the bad guys. one of the things that we hear from a lot of the folks at the state level that are pushing for these bizarre trumpy investigations, or fake audit of the 2020 really results, or pushing for change for voting laws because there was something so wrong with the 2020 voting, a lot of the time they say this isn't about overturning the 2020 election. it absolutely is about overturning the 2020 election. but in a more sir present danger. it's about them trying to gain control over the administration of the next election. taking the administration out of the hands of nonpartisan, technical, professionals. i'm putting it in the hands of people who say the last election was stolen, and who say that they are going to make sure the right person wins the next time. that is happening even in the redde

so shutout to the boss and other boss michelle obama. that does it for us. "the reidout" with joy reid starts now. >> wouldn't you have loved to be in the room for the whole side and background conversation? i mean, come on. that is amazing. thank you very much. >> my answer is yes. [ laughter ] >> yes. all right. thank you very much, ari, have a great evening. >>> good evening. we begin "the reidout" with "beloved." it tells the story of a run away enslaved woman named seth who kills her baby daughter to spare the child from a traumatic life in bondage. it's been regarded as a masterpiece. it impossible to understand the literarily landscape or high school english class without it. the book set both in the reconstruction era and preemancipation flash backs recounts the horrors of slavery and the impact on the black psyche. but apparently, for some white parents, the real pain isn't about black people, no, no. the pain is actually about them. their feelings. back in 2013 one white parent advocated banning "beloved" from virginia schools because it gave her s

michelle, let me start with you. care known for fighting poverty worldwide. now you've launched the two-year vaccine initiative to ensure vaccines were at least 100 million vulnerable people. where are you on this goal now? and what kind of resources are required to pull it off? >> yeah. so care has a commitment to have a program to deliver 100,000 vaccines. most importantly, we're advocating for 70% of the world's population to have vaccines by september of 2022. that means 14 billion more doses. and that's why we are trying to lift up the voices and using the extraordinary platform that adina and others have to say this is a moral imperative. it's also an economic imperative. and it's imperative for our own defenses in terms of our own security as a nation, because we know that we are interdependent. that's never more clear than during a global pandemic. >> adina, you signed onto a letter addressed to global leaders asking them to make 7 million vaccine doses available by the end of the year. it's an incredibly ambitious goal. do you think developed nations

michelle, nick is reminding stuff of what we've been covering. there's more than one type of contempt. some people have actually been jailed under it, although the congressional version of that happens a little less often than others, than the prosecutorial. nick is absolutely right that this is part of what they're looking at. we have from the actual contempt report, which is what they'll be voting on, the possibility of civil, it says bannon's failure to respond to the subpoena could result in a referral to doj, as well as a responsibility of a civil action against bannon personally to enforce the subpoena. so he's up against a lot, michelle. what do you see here tonight? >> look, i would love to see congress kind of asserting its prerogatives. that was something that jamie raskin talked about a lot when the trump administration was still looking at all the subpoenas and congress has powers it hasn't exercised. in some ways i think that would be more of an escalation than referring it to the justice department for possible prosecution. my guess

>> and i fear, michelle, that the next is brown. it's being able to -- they also have a case about whether or not, you know, religious schools can get federal funding. this is their big thing. they were angry schools couldn't get federal funding. everything is on the table. affirmative action. i feel like the courts are trying to remake the society into their version, their handmade's tale fantasy of af right wing disattorney-client privilege yeah. >> well, look, i think they think the warren court is where things started going wrong. >> yes. >> the john burke society. the forefathers of today's republican party. you know, they used to have these impeach earle warren billboards. essentially what the modern right's project for all of these years, you know, going on, what is it, 60 years has been to reverse everything that the warren court did, and i think that they are getting klesser -- closer and closer to reversing that. the day after roe, 11 states will bana borings immediately. they already have laws that will go into effect. >>

michelle goldberg joins me now. michelle, walk us through this. a medical examiner cited the woman's drug use as one of several medical conditions. there was also congenital abnormality, placental an rupgs. how did this lead to a manslaughter conviction? >> this woman, 19 at the time, was 17 weeks pregnant. she had a miscarriage at home. she went to the hospital and admitted to hospital workers that she had used drugs and they then called the police and she ended up being arrested for manslaughter. even at her trial, the witness for the prosecution admitted to they couldn't definitively say that it was drug use that had caused this miscarriage. there were these other factors as you mentioned. nevertheless, she was convicted, convicted very quickly in a one day trial and sentenced to four years in prison. what we've been seeing over the last several years has been attempts to write the concept of fetal personhood into law. you sometimes see this in the aftermath of an take on a pregnant woman. there will be then an attempt to create kind of a separ

i'm joined by michelle from "the new york times" and eugene daniels. your thoughts, michelle. >> i think that, look, i think that progressives that i've spoken to understand that there is going to have to be a negotiation. they understand the kind of catastrophic, how catastrophic it would be if both the reconciliation and the infrastructure bill went down. which is, you know, the thread of what could happen if progressives are unable to come to an agreement on something that joe manchin and kirsten sinema could also accept. so i think they're ready to compromise. and part of the difficulty though in even kind of getting into getting negotiations, manchin has thrown out a number. 1.5 trillion. so they can say the final number is going to be between 1.5 trillion and the 3.5 trillion that biden initially asked for. it's much more difficult to think about what sinema wants and to think about making offers to sinema when she's not even saying what her parameters are. >> yeah, i mean, eugene, in all fairness, sinema's that person, you're trying to go out to

michelle, there is a moment where i saw the news alert about powell's death, and i was saturday and i reflected on his life and back to iraq, and then i said it was from covid complications, and i immediately thought certainly he was vaccinated and certainly this will become a kuj ole, and it didn't take long to bear out. >> it was obvious how the right was going to use this, and there's a sort of tragic irony here in that colin powell at the time he made that speech to the u.n. occupied a unique role that i think nobody will ever occupy again as a validator, who was trusted by everyone. when he made the speech, it had an effect on public opinion. a lot f people who have been skeptical of bush and cheney said there must be something here because powell is saying it. and the iraq war i think had a huge role in destroying that kind of trust in any value day tors,. that brings us to the place we are no. there's no one who could go on tvr and say believe me about these vaccines and it would bring the whole country along. >> that is such a great point, and i think the landscape we find our

but for now, michelle carew has handed in her resignation. and she will no longer be the elections administrator of hood county, texas. she tells "the texas tribune, when i started out, election administrators were appreciated, highly respected. now we're made out to be the bad guys. you know, one thing we hear from a lot of the folks at the state level who are pushing for the bizarre, you know, trumpy investigations or fake audits of the 2020 results are pushing for changes to voting laws because there is something so wrong with the 2020 voting, a lot of the time they'll say this isn't about overturning the 2020 election. it is absolutely about overturning the 2020 election, but in a more present danger. it's about them trying to gain control over the administration of the next election. taking the administration of elections out of the hands of nonpartisan technical professionals and putting it in the hands of people who say the last election was stolen. and who say they're going to make sure the right person wins the next time. i mean, tha

let me just ask you this, michelle. to tim's point, what you are seeing when you take a step back aside from the individual moments, two down, eight to go trump sell bra tore statement, a very efficient machine with things operating in parallel, trump, the fox, the base, to grind everyone out who isn't that kind of way to produce a 200 proof pure complete maga faction as one of the two major parties in america over the coming next two to three years. >> yeah, going back to what tim said, i think a lot of people thought the day after january 6th there was such a reaction against, you know, people kind of looking at the maga movement straight in the face and reacting in horror and there was a sense, a very brief sense, that maybe the bubble had burst and you had people resigning and people denouncing. you have had these moments sort of throughout trumpism. but the fact -- the thing that they can't change is the base, and the base's desires, right? and so, you know, this is the party of tucker carlson who is about to come

joining me now ari berman, and ”the new york times” columnist, michelle goldberg. thank you for being here. you put out the numbers on what they are doing in texas. what i thought is it's easy to demonize the way they are doing things in texas and arkansas, but virginia is more subtle. youngkin doesn't seem as extreme but at the end of the day, the forces compelling republican politicians all compel in one direction, demonize women's right to choose, throw critical race theory, you know, red meat at the base. they're all going to do it. do you have concerns that even people who try to fool you into thinking they're a moderate like youngkin wind up playing the same game in 2024? >> well, i think it's become very clear in the last year that there are very few moderates left in the republican party and that attacking the democratic process is now the central organizing principle of the gop. remember, the republican candidate for governor kicked off his campaign by lying about what happened in 2020 and made that his key platform. but i think what republicans are doing

michelle, i want you to take a listen to loretta ross, the cow founder of reproductive justice. we'll talk about it on the other side. >> well, i'm tired of white saviors saying that black women aren't smart enough to make our own decisions about our lives. that's what i'm tired of. that is the ultimate in racism to accuse us of being less smart, less human an less caring about our children than you do when your actions speak louder than your marily words. because you vote against children having lunches, getting good schools, getting rid of guns, so that they can survive. >> i think she makes a really good point, michelle, that, obviously, progressive movements have been hacking away in this pocket of white women who vote overwhelming republican. yet, there are still significant many who under the guise of conservative christianity who vote against things like universal pre-k for everybody, but are definitely for taking a woman's right to choose away from them. you speak about this in mississippi. tell us what's happening on the ground in mississippi and why this issue is impor

when we are at home i will be reading something and michelle, if she's watching tv, she's watching hdtv or food channel. she doesn't want to see that fussing. it seems ugly and the same and nasty all of the time. some folks are just tired, period. i understand that. i understand why people are frustrated. we thought the pandemic was done, then delta comes. people feel cooped up, not sure what is safe, all of these arguments going on. even about wearing masks and getting vaccinated. science says it is the right thing to do. you do it because you are protecting not just yourself, but people you love, people that are vulnerable. i don't know how people just decide everything has to suddenly be political. i understand why people want to know when this is going to end. i know why folks sometimes get tired. maybe they say i am not going to bother voting this time. but here is the thing. we can't afford to be tired. in 2016 folks said i am not inspired. obama was okay, but we didn't get everything i wanted. so i am going to sit it out. you all know how that turned out. that's what happens when

how do you -- what's your message to particularly those undecideds, but maybe some squishy michelle wu supporters that you are the better choice to lead boston? >> i certainly love the term squishy when you use it on national news. it makes me smile. i was heading into the preliminary in september and i was polling at 4th place and so many of these polls. and polls don't vote. the most important poll is that on election day. and the people of boston will decide, and i have heard on the doors, i have heard in our neighborhoods, i have heard on front stairs and backyards and community meetings across our city, that i am the people of boston's choice to lead and do this work. certainly in partnership with them. i'm excited about the next two weeks. and the opportunity to meet more boss tone yabs, more of our city's residents to talk about my commitment to them, this city, and my commitment to the work from public health to public education to public safety, housing, all of it. i'm excited to get to it. >> as i said in the intro, no matter what, in this election, come election day, boston

. >> fatima, michelle goldberg writes in "the new york times," i think, the question that keeps a lot of people up at night. she asks this. are we too burned out to defend roe vs. wade? what's happening in texas, not just a broad abortion ban but the demented system of enforcing it may be almost inconceivably dystopian, but after the unceasing emergencies of the last few years, maintaining an appropriate level of outrage has become a challenge. part of the purpose of the protests saturday is not just to register anger with the supreme court has allowed to happen in texas but to get ready for what's on the way. we're talking about a march this weekend and that's important but the real work is going to come quietly and probably out of view for most people. we're looking to build capacity and momentum and i think that's really important in the fight to come. that's rachel o'leary carmona. talk about what michelle's writing about, the fight that maybe won't be broadcast on the news tomorrow. >> well, even at the marches, they are centering people who have had abortions. they're centering

or michelle wu, born in chicago to parents from immigrated from taiwan. her plan for boston's green new deal has mader a favorite of progressives like presley and warren. boston has non-whites that are a majority with the population that's 25% black, yet black people here say they are consistently ignored and left behind. the poverty rate for people of color here is 15% higher than for non-black people. for non-immigrant bostonians, the worst wealth gap this the country. mr. adams is a local author and historian who leads walking tours of some of boston's most historic black neighborhoods. >> your worth is told to you every day without them telling you, you aren't as bostonian, and the only reason it is is because you were born in this skin. it is insane. >> reporter: and no black candidate has ever won in a city-wide election. when mayor marty walsh resigned to become joe biden's labor secretary, a diverse slate of candidates jumped into the wide open race, the top six all identifying as people of color, three of them black. kim janie, john barrows, and

as michelle roberts, who is the executive director union told me, if every workforce in america were 96% vaccinated, we could have a chance at being coronavirus. >> our country was 96% vaccinated, this wouldn't be a conversation. he 40s money for every home game missed. according to espn, he could lose over $17 million in all this. but that still leaves him with $19 million in the bank. if this was an average person facing a vaccine mandate at their office or work, money might be a motivating factor, but that doesn't seem to be an issue here. how do you break through to someone like kyrie on this? >> the money factor even with kyrie versus other athletes is different. andrew wiggins with golden state wastation the same stand and when they say you're not going to get paid for home games, $9 million, suddenly his beliefs changed. you know what? i'm okay with the vaccine. kyrie is sticking to his guns. listen, i don't agree with him, but i respect it. and he understands that the penalty for this is he cannot play in the nba. the thing about refusing to be vaccinated, it's not that you h

. >> reporter: michelle goodwin is a professor at uc irvine who specializes in the intersections of medicine, health and law. >> the law is so broadly written. it provides no definition for what it means to aid or abet. >> reporter: taking effect september 1st, it's the most restrictive abortion law in the country. banning abortion after fetal cardiac activity is detected, around six weeks. it doesn't criminalize abortion outright. instead, it deputizes private citizens who can target anyone who helped end a pregnancy with a lawsuit of at least $10,000. the legal maneuvering is forcing providers like marvised aller into a race against the clock. >> i am certain that lady reported a hearing seasons -- >> there's a patient who found out she was 12 weeks pregnant days before she was expected to report to prison, but due to the abortion reskrixs on the books, even before the latest ban, she was forced to tell her no. >> she was literally standing in my lobby, and i could help her. there was absolutely no medical reason why we could not help her, but yet, i had to turn her away. and that is heart

you spoke to michelle goodwin a law professor at uv -- uv irvine. >> we have all those issues that women who can't have access, but fugitive slave act allowed white citizens to track down and surveil black people for a bounty. the enforcement mechanism with sb 8 is, anyone who gets wind of anyone who may have aid or abetted anyone ending a pregnancy can sue that individual for a minimum of $10,000, essentially what professor godwin described as a bounty. you already have baby health issues, the economic health issues, and then there's real concern for the safety of women and those who are aiding in them ending their pregnancy with a $10,000 bounty on their heads, free rein to surveil and track. how would you know who had an abortion unless you're tracking them. >> and these women are scared. trymaine lee, thank you, as always, for your great reporting and your incredible podcast for diving into the the subjects the best way possible. great to see you, by the way. >>> make sure to turn into "into america" podcast and new episodes drop every thursday. make sure you listen. >>> coming up in

bush, is busy being rehabilitated in liberal circles painting pictures and swapping cough drops with michelle obama. >> you are right. as i said, it's crazy the twists and turns that life takes. this is more a reflection on the four years of a donald trump presidency, where so many of us thought that things couldn't get any worse than the neo con administration of george w. bush, and indeed they got a lot worse. so george w. bush hasn't even had to do anything like apologize, for example, to redeem himself. >> so true. so true. of course, there was the problem that no one got prosecuted by the obama administration that came in after bush, except you, which was ridiculous. let me ask you this. you mentioned trump. you tried to got a pardon. you have gone on record about how you made several attempts to get pardoned. those attempts including paying $50,000 to a former top trump campaign adviser to lobby on your behalf. you even spoke to an associate of rudy giuliani who put a $2 million price tag allegedly on his help to receive a pardon. >> yes. >> you even got a meeting with jared kushner, wh

in boston michelle wu holds an astounding lead over anissa essaibi george. in minneapolis, mayor jacob frey. remember him during the george floyd protest? it's an election taking on the theme of public safety in the wake of george floyd's murder. there is also a key referendum on the police force on the ballot there. voters get to rank three people for mayor. speaking of endorsement, the democratic nominee for mayor of buffalo in new york is not getting any support from the state's top democrats. why is that, you ask? governor kathy hochul has refrained from backing her today, but she has the backing of ocasio-cortez. and one is running as a write-in. we saw it during the social justice protest. local leadership matters. do yourself a favor. look up what's on the ballot in two weeks, not just the statewide race in virginia. look at all of it, your city councilmembers, your mayors. because when there is a pandemic, these people matter more in your lives than anyone else. >>> before we go, we have election 2022 news to share. three democratic members of congre

let me tell you, if i told michelle i wanted to run for the same office after a few years away, she would have said something i cannot repeat. the rough translation would have been, no. now, i don't know the conversation that terry had with dorothy. but dorothy, thank you. because i could not be happier that terry's back on the ticket. he's persuasive. and the reason i couldn't be happier is because i know he will make you proud as governor because he's already done it. he did it the last time. you know, there are times where you don't know. let's face it, when you elected barack obama, you were like, i don't know. i mean, that -- the kid -- look. you know, maybe you knew, but i have to say, i look at those -- i look at some of that old footage and i'm like, man, he looks really young. i can't believe they trusted him to do all that stuff. he looks like he's 25 years old. that was before the gray hair. some of you who are very young don't remember, but i used to have black hair. but with terry, you know. he's done it. and you know this about terry. he knows how to work hard. this guy is t

michelle and i, when we're at home, i'm reading, she's watching hgtv, maybe the food channel. so, i understand why people might be tired of politics. and the arguments and the tweets and the back and the forth. and some of you are just plain tired. because this has been hard. i understand why people are frustrated. we thought that the pandemic was just about done and then suddenly the delta comes up, and it kind of throws us for a loop. and people are just tired. they feel cooped up. they're not sure what's safe. all this arguments going on, on tv all the time. folks wearing masks. look, i believe that wearing masks is the right thing to do for people that we care about. look, we do it for people who are vulnerable. not just for ourselves. but let's face it. i mean, i think it's important to acknowledge, sometimes i lose my mask, i'm like, oh, man, where is it? you know? i mean, i understand why people just feel kind of, like, oh, when's this going to end? and sometimes politics in washington feels that way. right? it's like, oh, are we still arguing about gay marriage? really

michelle comes over and goes, we were so upset when it went off the air. i go, how do you think i felt? all right. that's neil brennan for you, and beyond being his head writer, he does stand up. he has a broadway show that tackles everything from mental health to covid, which is actually why his work is on the news right now. brennan sounding off on our partisan covid wars, and you know, comics can be blunt and direct in ways that prove somewhat useful. we want to take in some of his points, you can hear them and think about how we all think about covid, for example. brennan roasting the ways that people put misinformation or their own scientific want to be guess work above real science from real researchers and actual doctors. >> i got a buddy who one of my friends is like, i just think they rushed the vaccine. i didn't know you were an epidemiologist, i thought you worked in telemarketing. another friend is like, yeah, i'm not take k it. i go why not. i just don't want to mess with my dna like that. i go, greg, i have met your family, i think you can go

she joins me now, michelle, it's great to have you with us. as i mentioned i don't really like to spend a lot of time on legislation that doesn't actually have a chance of getting passed, but you talked about it, i'm talking about it because it gives us insight into the republican thinking here. you've previously written about the woke obsession. what's your take on this legislation? >> i think it shows that rubio like the rest of the republican party is moving away from their obsession with laissez-faire corporation. but they are willing to basically try to restrain corporate rights to free expression, frankly. what i think is really telling about this is that it is a naked attempt to say that corporations should not be able to express themselves on political issues if they disagree with us, right? because the language in this bill is very specific. it's not about just kind of corporate political expression broadly. it talks about wokeness. it talks about critical race theory. and so he wants to restrict corporations from both expressing them

even a brand-new congresswoman, michelle fischbacher, from a swing district in minnesota, that she just won from a democrat, decided to vote to disenfranchise her own voters on her third day in office. a truly stunning middle finger, to throw up at your constituents. but there have been no consequences for her. she's just chill and. true for people like senator josh hawley, seen here given the rioters are proud salute this morning. true for senator tankers, and for rick scott, who's escaped opprobrium, and should not. they all voted to overturn the election. in some ways sky is the worst because he's now the chairman of the national republican senatorial committee. he's in charge of running the midterm campaign, having voted in the last election, to disenfranchise the majority of americans, and hand the election to the loser over the winter, and end two centuries plus, of american democracy. that guy, running the midterms. and now is just what is, ease just another senator complaining about inflation. as if he did nothing to undermine american democracy. to end it in fact. now remember,
