without thinking of arkansas first. i want to talk about voting rights. governor cooper talks about this before our conversation but you signed a strict voter id bill interstate just this week or earlier. why sign this bill when there's been no widespread evidence of voter fraud and are you worried about how the bill might present to another hurdle to minority groups and others that are already feeling disenfranchised or may not get out to vote as often as they should? >> the people of arkansas through a constitutional amendment or initiated act passed voter id so this was something that the voters said we want and the most recent legislation did tighten it up so that everybody has to be able to present some form of id in order to vote. it does give us secure elections in arkansas in one of the statements i made it when i signed that legislation was that we need to keep an eye on this and if we see that there is a segment of our a population that does not have access to an id or we are not providing the assistance to th

much of that is in arkansas. my point is that there needs to be a lot of different voices in the republican party and i hope to be one of them myself. as to help define the future. and i'd like to see our future defined based upon our principles and not simply a very contentious personality that i don't believe serves the civil debate that we we need in the united states, civil discourse and so that's my view on it and i hope that we can get back to our principles and we have a lot of different voices that want to talk about reduced regulation and the role of government. and the trade issues. i think we're going to have to redebate the trade issues in this current environment. and those are the substantive things we need to be talking about as we look to 2022. renu: yep. so you're not going to -- does that mean you're not going to throw your endorsement behind anyone ahead of the primary? governor hutchinson: i don't anticipate that. but i reserve the right to voice myself if necessary. but, no. i don't intend to

much of that is in arkansas. my point is that there needs to be aha lot of different voices n the republican party, and i hope to one ofic them myself, as to help define the future. i would like to see our future defined based upon our principles and not simply a very contentious personality that i don't believe serves the civil debate that we need in the united states, civil discourse. so that's my view on it and i hope that we can get back to our principles, and we have a lot of different voices that want to talk about reduced regulation and the role of government, and the trade issues. i think we will have to re-debate re-debate the trade issues in this current environment. those are the substantive things we need to t be talking about as we look the 2022. >> yes, so you're not -- doesn't mean you will not throw your endorsement behind anyone ahead of the primary? >> i don't anticipate that, but i reserve the right to voice myself if necessary. but no, i don't intend to be involved in a gubernatorial primary t

we are doing the same thing in arkansas. just in the last couple of weeks i bruised a bill called the girls act to protect girls integrity in sports to make sure that our young girl athletes are not having to compete against biological males. we have also introduced legislation with regard to the cancel culture. we have seen too often where conservative voices are being canceled out by big tech. so this bill in arkansas when passed will allow me as the attorney general to hold these big tech companies accountable for cancel out voices when they are not acting in good faith. justice as we heard from representative jim jordan, they are trying to hide behind section 230 and maria, we can no longer allow them to big tech companies to do so. maria well, it certainly is becoming apparent that this is an issue for many americans. a.g. rutledge, it's good to see you don't. we will be following the developments. thanks so much. quick break and come up, you are ochildren are assumed to be racists? what our young people are being fed.

arkansas will be inbounding. grant: 21 points off of turnovers. that's really been the difference here for baylor. bill: absolutely. williams hasn't played much. a little zone look and this is one of the things they've done over their past career. jim: davis. short with it. bill: that really threw them off out of the time-out. takes a little time to adjust. grant: impressive, the multiple efforts to close out to the shot there. jim: and that's 11 straight misses from the field. bill: this is dangerous. use the whole floor. jim: vital get it to the far side. off the glass. vital! bill: had to revitalize! wow. with all those foul problems, he hasn't been on the floor very much. boy, did he make that one count.

. >> reporter: let's review quickly -- jeanie has been a teacher in arkansas for 24 years. why are you a teacher? >> oh, my gosh. the students. absolutely completely the students. >> reporter: can i assume you don't do it for the money? >> if you are in it for the money, you are in the wrong profession. it's not the right choice. >> reporter: the school district in baitsville, arkansas prides its on putting students first. when it came to paying its teachers baitsville was next to last in this part of the state. salaries averaged about $45,000. >> and we were not keeping people because of that the. >> reporter: michael hester is the superintendent, he was losing teachers and having a hard time getting new ones to move to the rural town of 10,000 people. >> people are not in this business obviously for the money, but they should not have a vow to poverty to teach either. >> reporter: jeanie has been working five nights a week at the local community center just to make ends meet. but then she started hearing a rumor. >> oh, yeah, teachers love to talk. >> reporter: about an u

and here in arkansas we want to use that money for the good of arkansas kansans. ashley: states like illinois and the city of chicago, they may use this to start a universal basic income program and, apparently, that is okay. >> that is frightening. i think what we want to do is to boost the economy. that's what those funds are designed for, to boost the economy, to get people to work, to give americans hope to know that the government is there for safety and security and that these funds are used to give them -- to get them energized and keep their children safe. it's not designed to take people off the payrolls and out of the economy. so we want to, again, states need and must be able to set tax policy for their states. but unfortunately and that's not what is happening here, that's why i joined that letter to treasury secretary yellen to say this is what we want to do here in arkansas, this is what we must be able to do in arkansas. ashley: very good. we'll have to leave it there. arkansas attorney general leslie rutledge, thank you so much for chatting with us

and young people and their families across arkansas are already planning for the worst. people are considering fleeing their homes, having to relocate to other states. young people are in sheer panic. we have to understand, this is medically supported care approved by every major dical association that people need to stay well, to stay alive. and we are on the verge of having that stripped away from hundreds of people across the state of arkansas. unfortunately, their similar bills pending currently in alabama and tennessee comport of this wave of anti-trans legislation that stard at the beginning of 2021 and has escalated throughout the state legislative sessions. juan: chase, what do you attribute this sudden wave of legislation in various states across the country? >> you know, this year is particularly egregious and sweeping, but this is something that has been the culmination of work from an anti-trans, anti-lgbtq lobby for the past at least seven years, and we can't trace the history going back much, much longer. we can look at the moral panic of anita fry and even

unless republican governor asa hutchinson vetoes the bill, arkansas would become the first u.s. state to ban gender-affirming care to trans youth. earlier this month, arkansas, tennessee, and mississippi enacted new laws aimed at banning trans athletes from joining sports teams. in tennessee, the legislation forces trans students to show legal documents revealing the sex they were assigned at birth in order to participate in middle and high school sports. and in south dakota, republican governor kristi noem issued two executive orders monday, banning trans women and girls from playing school sports. as attacks against the trans community intensify, so has their restance, with trans youth leading the fight against violence and discrimination. this is trans seventh-grader kris wilka, who plays football for north middle school in harrisburg, south dakota. his last school refused to let him play on its team because he is trans. wilka said football has saved his life. >> if football did not exist, i do not think it would be here. the person next to you and the person behind you, just

we've lifted the business restrictions in arkansas. we are going to school as we have all year long with in-classroom instruction. people need this. president biden has recognized that. you can do all of that and at the same time take the virus seriously. >> nearly half of trump supporters say they won't get the vaccine. you are the governor of a very pro-trump state, why do you think there is so much hesitancy among your fellow republicans? >> well, i thought a lot about that and i think eighth natural resistance to government and skepticism of it. but you look at the breadth of support here in arkansas for president trump. you have rural voters, minority voters and the hesitancy is voiced not just here but all across the country. i expect as a country, we'll get to 50% vaccination rate of the population, but we're going to have a harder time getting from 50% to 70%. it's about overcoming the skepticism. it is about education. we're going through that effort here. but it's also confidence, and as people see others getting the vaccinat

we've got a good balance and a good plan in arkansas. chris: finally, i want to get to this philosophical issue. ooh i've only got about two minutes here, governor, but you talk about freedom, and i understand that. i understand people they chafint not being able to lead their own lives. but, you know, we keep speed limits and we keep seat belt laws even though people clearly understand the benefits of both. don't you worry that, you know, on the one hand, yes, freedom. but on the other hand, this may change people, when they get the word from the governor of the state, you know, you can go back 100% and within a few weeks you're to be able to take off your masks and it i may change people's behavior. >> we have to be careful about that, you're absolutely right. and we don't want to send the wrong signals. but whenever you look at the necessity of these mandates and the business restrictions, sure, we have seat belt laws. that can be a permanent thing. but i don't think you want to keep a business that put in an investment that they coul

but you're still not out of the woods and i want to put up the latest numbers in arkansas. the average of new cases in your state is 373 new cases per day. hospitalizations, 420. and according to the cdc, arkansas ranks 45th out of the 50 states in the number of covid vaccinations per capita. given all of that, governor, is this the right time to take your foot off the brake? >> governor hutchinson: it's a good question, and that's the reason we didn't end the emergency, that's the reason i have a ramp. if we see the cases spike up, if we see the hospitalizations go up, then we can reinstitute the mask mandate because it's a ramp, it goes until march 31st with specific guidelines. we can take the action that's needed. and so we are not out of the woods, but at the same time, the key is hospitalizations and because of improved therapeutics and because of the vaccines, because we have more people following guidelines and taking it seriously, we are in a pretty good position. if it goes the wrong direction we can take the steps necessary but people have to have hope. this has

are you worried that that's going to happen to arkansas? have you seen anything like that happening yet? >> no, i haven't. and after the nca, i don't think that they are in a strong position to complain about unfairness after they did not provide sufficient funding and resources for the women in the ncaa tournament. i thought that showcased. >> rachel: fair point. >> the division. i haven't heard that and that's not something that we would fear. we love our ncaa sports here, but i don't expect and hope that will not be a problem. >> rachel: yeah. you make such a good point and i just wonder if the chamber of commerce, for example, or any of the other business outlets and communities in your state have any -- you had any push back from them. >> well, there's a combination of bills that come through the legislature and as a whole, if you like our medical conscious e bill that allows a physician or medical provider to step away from coverage for religious or ethical reasons from a particular kind of treatment, that's got some criticism. and we

joining us now, arkansas senator tom cotton. senator, welcome back. >> good to be on with you, chris. chris: you just watched my interview with secretary mayorkas. your reaction, sir? >> chris, it's rich that secretary mayorkas won't let press travel with him to the border but he will come on your sunday morning show and peddle the same kind of nonsense that created the biden border crisis in the first place. he's basically saying the united states will not secure our border and that it is a big welcome sign to migrants from across the world. chris: so you say that you have three simple solutions. what are they? >> yeah, chris, the biden administration keeps saying that trump somehow dismantled the immigration systems. that's false. the biden administration lifted the order as relates to minors. now we have lots more minors at the border. that's not a surprise. second, the remain in mexico policy. the trump administration worked with the government of mexico to allow migrants who showed up on our border to make an asylum claim b

we have a large asian-americans in arkansas. they contribute vitally to our economy and our diversity and our well-being. we really need to have across this country, including arkansas, effective hate crimes laws that will express simply that if you will target someone because of their race or their characteristics, then you ought to have additional penalties that go with that. we have to discourage in every way. i am very proud of americans rallying around asian-americans this weekend. >> earlier this month, you signed a near total abortion ban. under the law, abortions are only permitted when necessary to save the life of a mother. there are no exceptions in cases of rape or incest. when you signed it, you said you had reservations about the law saying it violates a supreme court precedence. to be clear, did you sign this bill because you hope it will be a vehicle for the supreme court to look >> yes, that was the whole design of the law. it is not constitutional under supreme court cases right now. and i did prefer a rape and

the latest is arkansas. arkansas governor asa hutchinson said by the end of the month he will be able to lift the state's mask mandate. the reason is he trusts the common sense of his citizens. listen to this. >> we're a year into this and we know so much more today than we did a year ago. and so we had to educate people understand the importance of the mask and i expect even though we take the mask mandate away that people will continue to use the mask when you cannot socially distance and whenever there's the risk of the virus. so common sense is going to replace mandates. we have lifted the business restrictions in arkansas. we are going to school as we have all year long with in classroom instruction. and people need. this president biden has recognized that you can do all of that at the same time take the virus seriously. rachel: common sense making a comeback. i am loving it. you know, i love that he is doing. this especially when it comes to kids. i'm a parent. you both are, too. our kids are known to

here in arkansas, we can do it with five. there are a lot of environmental benefits brought to the table and there's a lot of ways to support that for u.s. agriculture products and use processes like this to help bring those practices forward. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much, senator boseman. not just for our members, as people have logged on or been here in the meeting today, we are keeping track when we start the meeting and who's here and who's logon and who's now available to be able to ask at this moment. based on that information, i'd turn senator smith. >> thank you so much, it is great to be with all of you and i appreciate the bipartisan hearing on this incredibly important issue. let me start with this, i think a lot of this conversation has been about how farmers can be a big part of the solution for the climate crisis. i know producers in minnesota have innovative solutions reducing carbon emissions, improving soil health and protecting plans for future generations. these are the things nobody cares

that is likely to happen in arkansas, too. which is why other restrictions are still being considered in the state's legislature, including a bill approved by the state senate requiring a woman to be shown an ultrasound before having an abortion. then there is mississippi. with the governor signed the mississippi fairness act into law this week. it effectively bans transgender athletes from participating in women's school sports. this law is very confusing for a number of reasons. as president of the human rights campaign puts it, this law is a solution in search of a problem. case in point there has not been a single occurrence in mississippi of a transit student seeking or being denied a spot on the playing field. so, why did mississippi do this? according to the governor, it was forced to because he claims "president biden promotes trend center and some" of what i want to clarify is used to demean transgender american. we assume governor read talking about the president's move to protect trans-americans on his first day in

its not just arkansas, it's also texas. it's not just isolated incidents happening in arkansas. the remedy is always the court system but what is fearful we saw in the trump administration a proliferation of judges appointed to the bench that will try to streamline and expedite these cases being heard in front of the supreme court. but ironically, the stopgap are the courts, it is our judicial system. we have a law called roe v. wade and from the supreme court of the united states, highest court in the land, it governs courts in your backyard. because of that, you're going to see effective challenges to seize type of ridiculous and absurd and progressive be laws in states like arkansas and that will slow the roll. keep in mind, it's important there will come a day a case about reproductive rights will make its way to the supreme court of the united states. so make sure we continue we veet for people in office who will put justices and judges on the bench that will be reflective of us not only of gender but also color. >> i'll ask you, erin, in arkansas abortions were practically

arkansas or louisiana or north dakota and you go down the line and then there was no money. they did the proverbial look in the couch and they didn't have it. but i do believe had they not been committed to deficit reduction or such honesty they were rigorous. a lot of people advising the president why didn't you just fudge it a little bit? that is what washington does. i don't think jason furman would have let us do that. he actually teaches at harvard now very principled would have objected on the grounds we want to play by the rules. it's important to be honest in governing that's what obama believed there was a commitment to intellectual honesty that on the one hand is quite admirable but not politically useful. >> there are two questions about now that, of what you said. the fact the program could be structured with more generosity could make a big difference the way it worked with a little more money. what you think of the proposed changes of the reconciliation package likely to pass congress? they sound good to me and also related to the question the says please share

arkansas will let the mask mandate expire at the end of the month. the governor talked about it earlier today. >> there's just a limit as to how much the restrictions can be placed on business and for how long. they struggled. they suffered. and so we want to give more flexibility. i wanted to set a goal and give people hope that we can end the mask mandate if we get to this place and where we feel more comfortable that our hospitalizations are still down and so we wanted an off-ramp. we didn't want a cliff. eric: and dr. jeanette nesheiwat is with us, she's a fox news medical contributor. dr. nesheiwat, good to see you. what do you think about the lifting of-good to see you. what do you think of the lifting of these mask mandates by some states? >> well, it depends on the area that you're in. i think it's critical to open up the economy. we've seen the turmoil that the lockdowns have caused. we've seen it translate into physical, mental and emotional destruction among a millions of people throughout the country. but you have to look at the big pictu
