tv   Jose Diaz- Balart Reports  MSNBC  February 12, 2024 8:00am-9:00am PST

8:00 am
he has accomplished more in his six seasons as a starter than so many of the greats of the game accomplished in their entire careers. and then there is coach andy reid winning his third super bowl. there are only two coaches who have won more than him, that's bill belichick and chuck nole. we are watching greatness in realtime. >> it was a fun game, thank you, kaylee hartung. that's going to do it for us today, see you pack here tomorrow, same time, same place. i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york. josé diaz-balart picks up our coverage right now. good morning, it is 11:00 a.m., 8:00 a.m. pacific, i'm josé diaz-balart. we begin with breaking news, what's happening behind closed doors right now in the case of classiied documents found at mar-a-lago. world leaders criticizing former president trump for his remarks saying he would not protect nato countries from russia if they fall behind on their membership payments. >> no, i would not protect you. in fact, i would encourage them to do whatever the hell they
8:01 am
want, you got to pay. >> reporter: plus, the nbc news exclusive revealing how president biden has been privately criticizing prime minister benjamin netanyahu for his military tactics in gaza. it comes as biden and his allies go on the offensive after the special counsel report into how he handled classified documents, questioned his memory. and the kansas city chiefs super bowl champs once again beating the 49ers 25-22 in an electrifying overtime win. >> viva las vegas! viva las vegas! and we begin this hour with breaking news out of florida. right now behind closed doors, former president trump's legal team is presenting their case to a judge about why they should receive more access to classified information in the special counsel's investigation into classified documents found at trump's mar-a-lago home. it comes just days after the special counsel's office warned of significant and immediate
8:02 am
threats to witnesses in the case. joining us now from outside the courthouse, msnbc legal contributor, katie phang in fort pierce, florida. good morning. what's happening there today? is the former president attending? >> yeah, so there was a caravan of suvs, jose, that arrived just before the 9:30 hearing was going to kick off with judge aileen cannon, the supporters of donald trump are actually on the other side of this courthouse right now, there's a sally port entrance which is a secured entrance for somebody like donald trump to be able to come into the court. the defense is meeting without the government, jose, at 9:30 to 2:00 today, in an effort to convince a judge that based upon their theories of defense that they should have access to certain classified information that perhaps the government does not want to turn over. then at 3:00 until 5:00, the government has a chance to rebut some of the information that has been provided by the defense.
8:03 am
please remember, on january 31st, the government met with aileen cannon for three hours. the department of justice basically presented to the judge this universe of documents that are all classified that they either don't want to turn over or they want to turn over in maybe a redacted form or maybe they want to substitute in a summary for that classified information. remember, this is a national secrets case. only donald trump has been charged with a violation of the espionage act, jose. his co-defendants have not, and that is the reason why only donald trump is present today and his co-defendants are not. >> and today is also the deadline for trump's legal team to file an appeal to the supreme court after an appeals court denied him immunity in the federal elections interference case. what are you watching for there? >> so it is the deadline for donald trump to indicate he has filed something called an application for a stay, meaning he is asking the supreme court to be able to stop the case from
8:04 am
proceeding any further in the trial court with judge chutkan. that deadline was imposed by the d.c. circuit court of appeals, and basically that order that was entered by that circuit court of appeals told donald trump, don't try to come to have the entire bench of the d.c. circuit hear your case again. even if you were to try to do that, we're not going to stop that case for proceeding. the only way is for the supreme court to basically enter an order saying that the case will not continue to proceed to trial at this moment, but by all accounts we expect donald trump to file an appeal, meaning he wants the supreme court to take up this case, and that's the big open ended question, jose. will the supreme court actually allow the d.c. circuit court of appeals opinion, which says no presidential immunity for donald trump, will they allow it to just stay the way it is or will the supreme court take it up and try to enter its own decision on that issue. >> and so if the supreme court decides to take it up, where would that case then be until
8:05 am
they have a decision? >> yeah, so until the supreme court reaches a decision, if they choose to take the case, there will be the briefing, the biggest thing that we want to see in terms of the legal experts in this case, how quickly will the supreme court say that the briefing has to be done? we've seen expedited briefing on oral arguments starting from the trial court level up to perhaps the supreme court. we're going to see whether or not the supreme court says, fine, we'll take t former president trump, but we want this done so quickly so that we can render a decision as quickly as possible. history is some type of indicator. the supreme court has made very quick decision when is it comes to these take place of cases that are such moments for the american public, and so if the supreme court says, okay, we won't make this case go back to the trial court level, we're going to hear this appeal, president trump, or former president trump, excuse me. we expect it to be done on hopefully a quick level. >> katie phang in fort pierce, thank you very much. good to see you. now to another big story concerning former president trump, he's facing major
8:06 am
blowback after a weekend campaign rally where he said this about his conversation with a foreign leader. >> one of the precedents of -- presidents of a big country said if we don't pay and we're attacked by russia, will you protect us? i said you didn't pay, you're delinquent? he said, yes, let's say that happened. no, i would not protect you, in fact, i would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want, you got to pay your bills. >> the white house forcefully responding with a spokesman saying, quote, encouraging invasions of our closest allies by murderous regimes is appalling and unhinged, and it endangers american national security, global stability, and our economy at home. with us now to talk more about this nbc news correspondent garrett haake, peter bake,er "new york times" chief white house correspondent and msnbc political analyst and msnbc military analyst retired general barry mccaffrey.
8:07 am
garrett, is there some strategy behind trump's comments about nato and russia's response? >> not in terms of nato and russia specifically. there's been no effort to amplify these comments by the campaign. he's put no money behind them, he's not talking about them on truth social. this isn't necessarily part of a, you know, russia and nato specific strategy. what i do see here having covered donald trump for eight years now across all these rallies is an effort to brag about the way in which he negotiates. do think that is part of the strategy, especially in a large rally like this in a state like south carolina, trying to argue that he's tough enough to stand up to even our allies overseas who he has long viewed as taking advantage of the united states. no, i don't necessarily see this as sort of a more kind of pro-russian, anti-nato talking point that the trump campaign wants to push. i do see this as trump trying to brag about his negotiating prowess in a way that he's done
8:08 am
since he was business developer trump in the '80s and '90s. >> general words matter, what's your take on these comments? >> well, of course it's just nonsense. it's a rally. it's a political talking point. but at the end of the day, these comments matter. u.s. national security depends upon u.s. economic and military power, but even more so on our values. the fact that we are trusted to be an international leader. nato is a treaty. it's a foundation of u.s. national security. you know, the european union is the most massive economic power on earth except us and china. so it's hard to understand why trump would be essentially siding with dictators, with murderous people like putin and damaging our own national security in the process.
8:09 am
>> peter, you wrote a piece over the weekend taking kind of a closer look at what trump said. how is this, peter, an escalation of what he said versus what he said when he was president. >> yeah, no, look, he has made clear time and time again, he's not an alliance guy. he doesn't believe in the international structure as we have effectively created it since the world war ii era. he has time and time again talked about pulling troops out of germany. he tried to do that at the end of his presidency. he talked about pulling troops out of south korea, basically leaving our allies to the tender mercies of their enemies. he's time and time again talked about how nato allies aren't spending enough on their military. the way he phrased it is not correct. they're not delinquent. they don't have to pay anybody. the goal was they spent 2% of their economy, their gdp on their own military, and that's important. a lot of presidents have tried to pressure nato allies into spending more on their own defense. they don't owe anybody anything the way the former president would make it out to be.
8:10 am
what he's done now by taking russia's side, by not only saying i won't defend you but i may even encourage russia to attack you, it undermines the confidence and the credibility of the united states in all of its treaty alliances. if you're a member of nato, if you're one of the allies who he has a mutual defense treaty with the united states and asia or latin america and other places, will you believe the united states will come to your aid when you hear comments like this by a future potentially president. that's the concern here is it upends the credibility and the confidence in the treaty structure and the networks of alliances the united states has been building for eight decades. >> i mean, general mccaffrey, nato secretary general issued a statement saying, quote, nato remains ready and able to defend all allies. any attack on nato will be met with a united and forceful response. any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security including
8:11 am
that of the u.s., and puts american and european soldiers at increased risk. i expect that regardless of who wins the presidential election, the u.s. will remain a strong and committed nato ally. general, what are the requirements or the responsibilities of the united states and other nato members to the other nato members if there is an attack on one of them? >> of course this is fundamental view of national security, there's a whole notion under article 5 of the nato security, which i might add is legally binding upon the united states that we state the 32 nations once sweden joins of nato will come to one another's mutual aid, and nato has done this. the only time we declared article 5 was during -- after the 9/11 attacks on the united states when nato came to our air defense aid and subsequently took part in the operations in afghanistan. so credibility, deterrence is
8:12 am
military and economic power combined with political will. and mr. trump is already fundamentally damaging our allies wells putin's perception of political will. this is harmful. it's dangerous. and it's unheard of in u.s. national history. >> yeah, i mean, i'm just wondering, general, what does a putin, xi jinping, even -- i'm just thinking even like, you know, people in like, you know, maduro and venezuela who is dealing with american sanctions and the removal of some of them. he's violating agreements, the barbados agreement. what does it tell strong people around the world? >> well, you know, i think you made probably the most important point out of all of this, these words have a chilling effect on the trust in the united states' willingness to stand up for our
8:13 am
own values. you know, that's what this is all about at the end of the day. putin's a murderous thug whose principle victims are the russian people. xi is watching all this to determine the willingness of the united states to shore up the pacific rim deterrence to include taiwan, south korea, which trump has called into question as well as japan. and other allies as you point out, maduro, another dangerous thug, you know, according to the population of venezuela has walked out of the country. so our purpose normally is to organize international allies to prevent war. that's what our purpose is, and i think mr. trump is damaging already that credibility. >> and garrett, trump's nato comments weren't the only ones that sparked backlash this weekend. he also went after nikki haley's husband who serves in the
8:14 am
military. >> this is rally trump over the weekend, with donald trump seeming to question where nikki haley's husband michael has been, why he's not been on the campaign trail with her. trump repeatedly asking rhetorically where is michael? where is he. trump knows full well, nikki haley's husband is deployed in africa right now as part of the u.s. armed forces. haley has seized on these comments as entirely both out of line in terms of her husband specifically, but also in keeping with rhetoric that trump has used in the past that has appeared to be anti-military. here's nikki haley's response to trump's comments over the weekend. >> but when he did that, it was a pattern. it started with the fact that he has continued to call military members suckers and losers. he went to arlington national cemetery and said why did they do this? what was in it for them? you can't have a commander in chief that doesn't understand
8:15 am
what made this country great. it's the values. it's the sacrifice. it's the freedom. >> jose, in terms of the pure politics of this, a huge military population in south carolina, the next state up, the big battleground state perhaps where nikki haley will be making her last stand. so the opportunity presented to her from, again, purely a political standpoint here to turn these bizarre comments from donald trump into an opportunity to drive a wedge between him and the united states military voters i think is an opportunity that her campaign will welcome today. >> garrett haake, peter baker, and general barry mccaffrey, thank you so very much. breaking overnight, defense secretary lloyd austin back in the hospital in a critical care unit again. we'll tell you what happened. and overseas, israel says it has rescued two hostages in an overnight raid. we're live in jerusalem with the very latest. i'll see you in just 60 seconds. you're watching "josé
8:16 am
diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. ée diaz-balart reports" on msnbc.
8:17 am
16 past the hour, we are following major developments in the israel-hamas war. two former israeli hostages back with their families after israeli forces say they were rescued overnight during an operation in the southern gazan city of rafa. air strikes used in the raid. the hamas-run ministry of health says at least 67 people in gaza were killed overnight. meanwhile, in an nbc news exclusive, we are learning more about president biden's growing frustration with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. biden calling netanyahu the primary obstacle to getting israel to change its tactics according to five people directly familiar with his comments. joining us now, nbc's molly hunter in jerusalem, also with us nbc's courtney kube. so molly, what more do we know about these air strikes and then these hostages, who are now back
8:18 am
home? >> reporter: yeah, and we just saw that video, jose, in your intro. the reunion of these two older men, both israeli hostages with their families, according to the israeli military, they were flown to a hospital in tel aviv, and they are in good condition. i'll walk you back. this is the israeli military account of what happened last night starting at 1:49 a.m., israeli troops entered a building in rafa. now, rafa is that southernmost city, jose. we've been talking so much about, slammed against the border with egypt where 1.4 million palestinians have been told to evacuate because it would be safe. the video you're seeing right now is an israeli video overhead. the israeli military says the hostages were being held on the second floor and then a wave of air strikes and as you mentioned, palestinian health authorities say that the damage in the neighborhood was huge and that dozens of palestinians were killed in those -- that wave of aerial attacks that provided cover for the hostages to get out. now, as we mentioned, they did reunite with their families.
8:19 am
take a quick listen, jose. >> i want to say that we all the families, all 134 hostages will be free. we will fight for their freedom. we will do everything we can so this wartime will end. it was very emotional to see them, to hug them, to feel them. it feels almost unreal. >> reporter: this high risk operation, the strikes and the very high palestinian death toll from this operation point towar prime minister netanyahu threatening a full ground incursion into rafa and that is one of the things getting a lot of criticism, not only the biden administration but also arab allies, strategic arab partners like egypt who are warning of dire consequences if israeli
8:20 am
ground troops go in with 1.4 million people stuffed into a very small area. jose. >> molly hunter in jerusalem, thank you so very much. and courtney, you actually helped break in new exclusive about president biden and his growing frustration with netanyahu. >> president biden has been expressing privately in smaller groups this frustration with prime minister benjamin netanyahu and specifically that the u.s. doesn't seem to be able to influence the military offensive in gaza. this comes, of course, as everyone is awaiting to see if israel does begin a large offensive into rafa in gaza where there's about a million palestinians now holed up and awaiting a potential offensive. but what we learned -- and this is extensive reporting by our colleague carol lee, john allen and peter nicholas is president biden in these smaller group
8:21 am
meetings he's been expressing his frustration and even saying things about benjamin netanyahu. at times referring to him as this guy or that guy, and at times even referring to him as an a-hole. he is, according to a number of officials who have heard president biden talk about this in small groups, he's saying netanyahu is rejecting potential deals to bring to israel and that, in fact, he's even saying to some people to some small groups, jose, that, in fact, netanyahu is trying to extend this conflict so that he can hold onto power. it's not the first time that we've heard that president biden is frustrated with netanyahu, but new and next level frustration out of the president that we're hearing about here now, jose. >> and courtney, meanwhile, defense secretary lloyd austin back in the hospital? >> that's right, so we got some word yesterday. now, this is a huge departure from the last time we found out
8:22 am
secretary austin had been taken to the hospital on january 1st. he was taken in an ambulance. he was put into intensive care, but the world didn't find out about it until several days later on friday. that was monday that he went in. friday is what he found out. what's critical is the white house wasn't told about his hospitalization until thursday. huge departure from that. yesterday we found out he was taken to walter reed by his detail, not by an ambulance about 2:00 p.m. yesterday. the pentagon continued to update us on that. we found out a little bit after 5:00 p.m. that he had transported his authority to his deputy secretary. he's in critical care now. he was admitted to walter reed overnight. we don't know exactly what's wrong other than he went with symptoms of an emergent bladder issue. it comes after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in early december. he had surgery to remove, to treat that prostate cancer late in december, but the reality is since then we've heard about a number of complications.
8:23 am
this being another one. this is a busy week for secretary austin, he was supposed to leave for brussels for a meeting of the ukraine contact group. we're now waiting to hear whether that travel will be canceled and exactly what they're going to do with this important meeting this week, jose. >> and courtney, i mean, normally traditionally when you transfer authority from one, you know, leader to another, normally and traditionally is it because that person is going to be under surgery, anesthesia, do we know what the triggering mechanism is for a transfer of authority? >> yeah, you're absolutely right. it's generally if the person is going to be under general anesthesia or if they're going to have some sort of medication that could alter their decision-making here. so we don't know exactly if one of those applies here or if it's just the fact that secretary austin is unwell enough that he doesn't feel that he can carry on his duties. i will say in the initial statement we got yesterday, pentagon press secretary general pat rider pointed out that
8:24 am
secretary austin went to walter reed with his classified and unclassificationed communications systems. we're going to hear from pat ryder a little bit later today and we expect to get an update on the secretary's condition, jose. >> courtney kube, thank you so very much. appreciate it. up next, how president biden and his allies are trying to discredit the special counsel report that criticized his mental fitness. new details about a shooting at joel osteen's packed mega church in texas. you're watching "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. é diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. ♪ upbeat music ♪ asthma. it can make you miss out on those epic hikes with friends. step back out there, with fasenra.

8:29 am
28 past the hour, this morning the white house is trying to down play a special counsel report that called president biden's mental acuity into question. in moments, the president is set to speak in washington, a conference of county leaders from across the country. there you see the podium that has been set up. this comes after robert hur's report into biden's handling of classified documents, which said his memory at the age of 81 is a problem. joining me now, nbc's gabe gutierrez at the white house, back with us "new york times" chief white house correspondent peter bake, and joining us now political strategist lucy caldwell. biden surrogates were front and center over the weekend arguing the president is sharp and as able as ever. what is behind this?
8:30 am
how much concern is there in biden world about this report? >> well, jose, publicly they say there's not much concern. they say that attacks on president biden's age are nothing new, but privately some democrats do worry that this narrative could take hold on the upcoming campaign and the white house is trying to make sure that doesn't happen by aggressively pushing back on the hur report. as you just mentioned, over the weekend you saw several biden surrogates making the case that there are no issues with the president's memory. take a listen. >> the most difficult part about a meeting with president biden is preparing for it because he is sharp, intensely probing, and detail oriented and focused. >> the most important thing to remember, though, is the president was found to have been engaged in no wrongdoing, unlike president trump which has 91 felony counts pending against him. all the depositions that
8:31 am
president trump has taken in those cases that says he doesn't remember or doesn't know over a thousand times. >> and also this weekend, we saw strong words from the first lady in a fund-raising email calling the hur report inaccurate and personal political attacks. now, the respect also on friday calling it politically motivated, and the white house of course is walking a fine line, trying not to attack the integrity of the investigation itself, while at the same time trying to paint her hur as a partisan for what they see as personal political attacks on the president. >> gabe gutierrez at the white house, thank you so very much. nbc reporting boo some of the remote options of democrats replacing biden on the ballot, they found that in the modern era a national party has never attempted to replace their nominee, in part because they know it likely would fail. the only plausible scenario for democrats to get a new nominee would be for biden to decide to withdraw. how risky is this even talk
8:32 am
going forward about an idea of replacing him? >> he's not going to be replaced unless something happens, right? at this point in the process, most of these primary filing deadlines have passed. it's too late for somebody else to really jump in, the idea that the party would somehow overturn the will of the voters in the primary seems rather farfetched, again, unless some other event takes place, for somebody who has a health issue that changes that dynamic or he decides to step down as a candidate. it doesn't seem likely to happen. i think he's determined to run. you know, he actually believes that he is going to be the best suited to take on former president trump and in some ways he got some help from president trump this weekend with the comment that he made about nato because it sort of allows them to draw the contrast, the contrast the biden people want you to focus on is, yeah, our guy may be a little old, he may
8:33 am
be a little forgetful, but the other guy is super dangerous. stick with our guy. that's the message they're trying to send in effect. >> not only that but that they can also point out that the other guy oftentimes forgets and goes on rants that have no beginning, middle, and end and so much more. lucy, abc and ipsos conducted a pole after the report came out finding 86% of americans think biden is too old to serve, 59% think that both biden and trump are too old, and yet, it seems as though biden and trump may be the country's nominees, doesn't it? >> yeah, they are going to be the country's nominees. polling methodology matters and it is important to note that only 27% of people who were polled in that abc poll were polled saying, yes, we think especially exclusively biden is too old, right? these are both old candidates. these are the cards we've been dealt in the primary. in terms of replacing biden, i
8:34 am
think that people who are saying that are really unsophisticated about how the convention process works, right? if you think that party primaries give us partisan outcomes that don't reflect what most people want, good luck with delegates at a party convention, right? that is not going to turn into some magical unicorn candidate that somehow is better poised than joe biden to defeat donald trump, and there isn't one. we know that joe biden is a strong candidate, and i think that this is a reminder of the fact that donald trump has a very high floor because his supporters are members of a cult. joe biden has a higher ceiling, but a lower floor, which means that all of these things around biden's age or other criticisms of him come to be mediated much more aggressively than we mediate the things about the other guy who even as recently as this weekend just seems totally bananas. >> yeah, and the campaign hasn't
8:35 am
really started, right? there's going to be hundreds of millions, you know, more than a billion dollars spent on each side to point out the other side's issues. just think, lucy, what would you recommend to the president? how does he best deal with this? >> i think joe biden needs to get ahead of this issue. i think he needs to run into the age issue rather than fear from it, shy away from it. and you actually see this a lot, i think that the biden team is so concerned that he's going to go out and make a gaffe, which i would note joe biden has done all of his career. it's kind of his thing. they're so afraid that he's going to come off as old, that they wind up doing something that reinforces a right wing narrative that they are hiding him. and actually, you can even see this tension reflected in how joe biden sometimes talks when he's making remarks off the cuff. he'll say things like i'm going to get in trouble for saying this. i should be careful about how i say this as if to reflect the
8:36 am
fact that behind the scenes his team is holding tight control to make sure the optics are good. i would say joe biden is at his best when joe biden is being joe biden. let him out there, let him make more jokes like the yolk he made at a rally a couple of months ago where someone fell and stumbled, and he said let the record reflect, that wasn't me. i didn't fall. that's funny. it's endearing. let joe biden be joe biden, get him out there. don't shy away from this issue. run into it. >> peter baker and lucy caldwell, thank you so much for being with us today. really appreciate it. we're going to hear from witnesses as they describe the terrifying moments during a shooting at joel osteen's megachurch in texas. plus, the incredibly high stakes around the special election to fill congressman george santos's seat in new york. you're watching "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. t. . aveeno® daily moisture with prebiotic oat is proven to moisturize dry skin all day. you'll love our formula for face, too.

48 past the hour, this morning the senate is getting closer to finally getting a foreign aid bill to the president's desk over the weekend. senators put foreign aid back on track. that means the u.s. could soon
8:49 am
approve $95 billion for israel, ukraine, and taiwan. but anything you do with the humanitarian crisis at the border or asylum for migrants seems to be dead. nbc's capitol hill correspondent ryan nobles joins us. what is the latest here? >> reporter: the senate is making progress, jose, and they do appear set up to pass the supplemental package through the senate by wednesday at the latest, and that would set up a showdown in the house where some republican members still do not feel comfortable voting for funding for ukraine, but they will also be forced to vote down funding for israel. the senate has found a coalition of 67 senators right now that seem to believe that this national security supplemental package is worth getting through, but to your point, it does not include anything related to the border or the migration crisis. there is thehat there could be some amendments added that deal with it on the
8:50 am
margins, but in terms of some grand bargain on this issue which leaders had hoped to craft by pairing ukraine, israel, and everything together, it doesn't look like it's being to happen right now. >> so ryan nothing possibly, even discussions or negotiations about, i don't know, a piece by piece issue dealing with dreamers, with the 11 million people who have been here, many for decades, none of that is even being discussed? >> no, it really isn't, jose, and it's just an example of how immigration continues to be it . trying to get it done in an election year makes it even more difficult. you know, the package that initially was on the table even though it really had nothing to do with the millions of undocumented immigrants here in the country now, but at least dealt with the flow of migrants. that had shown concessions we hadn't seen in 40 years.
8:51 am
that still wasn't enough to get the deal done. there just isn't an appetite to get any sort of immigration done in this short-term and the election year is making it more complicated. >> and so, ryan, let's talk about the house. the efforts to impeach secretary mayorkas failed but now there's apparently a movement to get that back on the schedule? >> reporter: yeah, it looks like it's going to happen tomorrow, jose, and it's very likely the republicans do have the votes necessary to get that impeachment over the finish line. they, of course, expect to have the house majority leader, steve scalise, back in washington. he was dealing with a cancer treatment and that's why he was not here last week. with scalise back in attendance, that allows them to opportunity to get this passed with three republicans breaking ranks. and the timing of this is important because there's a special election taking place in
8:52 am
new york to replace george santos. if democrats are successful there and they are unable to get the impeachment done by tomorrow, that could complicate the numbers again. so there's a sense of urgency by republicans to get this done as soon as possible. >> thank you so much. and turning to new york, there's a special election happening in the third district to replace ousted republican congressman santos. so how's this race shaping up and what's the national implications behind it? >> reporter: big national implications, jose. the special election here on long island, a big slice of long island, small slice of queens, is tomorrow. from my conversations, democrats are nervous by optimistic. he is well-known here in this
8:53 am
district. republicans are more circumspect. their candidate is not as well-known here and talking to voters, i'm struck by how fluid the district feels. they voted for joe biden in 2020 by eight points. it swung by eight points and in 2024, we'll find out if that red turn is a movement or a moment. that is for voters to decide. i talked to some of them. >> i supported mazi because i think she's a little tougher on crime and to be honest with you, that's what the whole country is afraid of, the crime. we don't care about democracy. >> voted for suozzi because he has the experience. i was close. i've never seen so much advertising. . you would think it's a national election. >> reporter: the one thing that stands out is that neither joe
8:54 am
biden or donald trump is popular here. both brands have been tarnished. the election is tomorrow. it will tell us a lot about issues, migration. that's been a big vulnerability. the biggest issue, he's taking that seriously. talking about the bipartisan border deal saying he opposes it. we'll find out if that message resonates. jose? >> thank you so much and we will be right back. you're watching jose diaz-balart reports on msnbc. watching joset reports on msnbc
