Don, i want your reaction to that and haley s strategy here with invoking kamala harris. it s actually interesting. this is not the first time we ve seen that. we re all old enough to remember, republicans consistently have a boogie person, something to scare people with. years before it was ebola, then the migrant care veins. you see kamala harris walking into the squad, the young members who are members of congress who the republican party tried to paint as being too liberal to be in line with mainstream american values. they re reiterating that. i think it s fairly disgusting because they re implicitly saying that joe biden won t survive. at the same time it s wildly racist and sexist to simply point to their majority white electorate and say this is really who you re voting for. it s a massive dog whistle, but it s happened before with respect to the squad and kamala harris in the first election and in those congressional races. carlos, we mentioned the

They want to hide it. they want to get it done but they want to hide it. you just did a whole segment on the government shutdown. we re risking default. you ve got an extreme gop party who is focused on a time of crisis on shaming women and telling us we can t make decisions on what s best for us. and adding in stipulations about contraceptive coverage. right. how much more out of step you can be with mainstream american values. ryan, one of the cases that the premium court is going to be taking up is mcculland versus coakley. this supreme court has struck down landmark legislation in the name of free speech. i think a lot of people who are concerned about this shame and humiliation and intimidation factor in and around the choice of abortion are worried that they will rule, quote/unquote, in favor of free speech and strike down these kind of limits that are in place.
