good day. i'm chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. right now high stakes for two political legacies and the

future of a conflict that's taken the lives of more than 40,000 people. president joe biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu are meeting this hour as the white house and families of hostages look for a cease fire agreement. is progress possible 292 days into the gaza war? plus, the shape of the race for the president, blunt and brutal, kamala harris and donald trump pulling no punches with two big decisions to come. any rivals to harris now have three days to declare, and she has just 13 days to pick a running mate. i'll speak with a dnc rules committee member. and the climate action groups are now lining up behind vice president harris. what's making her more appealing than biden to voters? and what could it mean for the fight against climate change. so much to get to, but we begin with that major meeting at this hour between president biden and israeli prime minister netanyahu. two men confronting a clock, one with six months to go to office,

and the other fighting to stay in power. those are the underlying dynamics to the battle over a cease fire plan. "politico" reports this meeting could feel different because, quote, freed of the political shackles of having to seek re-election, biden will look to take a tougher tone with netanyahu, with whom he has frequently clashed to reach an agreement with hamas. and they're face to face just hours after the idf retrieved the bodies of five israelis killed in hamas's october 7th attack who were then taken to gaza. one hostage and four fallen soldiers. this is a stark reminder of the 111 hostages still being held, 292 days after that brutal attack. nbc's kelly o'donnell is covering the white house for us. also with us, peter baker, "new york times" chief white house correspondent and msnbc political analyst, and nbc's raf sanchez who was reporting from tel aviv. so kelly, what more do we know about how president biden is approaching this meeting today?

>> this has been a tense relationship for some time, and the president wants to walk that line between showing unequivocal u.s. support for the state of israel and has demonstrated that in a lot of ways that he would talk about it in terms of the support provided especially when iran was taking aggressive action toward israel in addition to what happened on october 7th with hamas, and so that kind of steadfast support the president wants to reiterate. but at the same time, he believes that it is time for israel to find a way to get to a cease fire agreement that can bring hostages including some americans who have been in captivity are believed to still be alive to try to secure their release, and to make certain that there is sufficient action taken for the humanitarian needs of the palestinian people. president biden is one who believes in a long-term two-state solution to try to

resolve what has been an intractable problem for decades, but the tension is clear and certainly you may even be able to hear some of the protests that are happening outside the white house behind me. there is a lot of energy around this, and the president has had views as a head of state and a leader, he's also had the complications that were involved in the political fallout over this during the last year that he experienced as a candidate, now no longer a candidate but a sitting president for several more months and this could be one of the areas where the president could use his foreign policy experience and influence to try to bring about a more lasting resolution to this war that is approaching the one-year mark, chris. >> so peter, on top of their well-known and opposing positions on what's next, we talked about the other factors, right? you have joe biden a lame duck with limited time and power to get this done. you have bibi netanyahu still

facing protests under water in polls at home. what are the chances they find common ground in this meeting today? >> you know, it's a really interesting question. of course for prime minister netanyahu who is trying to hedge his bets, it's a meeting with only, you know, so much in importance right, because this is the outgoing president. he has another meeting this afternoon with vice president harris, who may be the successor if she wins, but he's also banking on the idea that donald trump may be back. he goes tomorrow to mar-a-lago to meet with trump. you heard him in his address in his joint meeting with congress praise president biden for supporting israel, especially in those initial weeks after the october 7th hamas terrorist attack, but also praising former president trump trying to basically make sure he is keeping good on both sides of the aisle at this point. and that, of course, you know, will factor in to any kind of calculation he makes. what the president would like to do, president biden would like to do, which kelly just alluded

to, is obviously make an end to this war in gaza and then also perhaps do something even bigger, right, with a deal with saudi arabia he's been working on for quite a while that would really transform the middle east. that would require prime minister netanyahu's cooperation, particularly on forging some sort of a path toward a two-state solution that the saudis would want to have as part of any agreement, given that the president is now facing a clock, as you said, of his own six months. he would love to get that done as a final achievement, but it does depend on netanyahu. i suspect we'll see that come up in their meeting today too. >> that brings me to you. the recovery of those bodies is a reminder to a lot of folks to a large human toll that this war has taken, the hostages who are still being held. what's been the reaction where you are to the visit and the speech by bibi netanyahu, and is there any more clarity on what his long-stated goal of total victory actually looks like?

>> reporter: so, chris, from the families of the hostages we are hearing deep, deep frustration at a speech are where the israeli prime minister spent a lot of time hitting american campus protesters, american college presidents, but very, very little time laying out the details of a deal to bring their loved ones home after nearly 300 days of hamas captivity. the prime minister's section on any potential deal was incredibly short. he said that intensive efforts are underway, and that he hopes that those efforts bear fruit, but the families of the hostages are accusing him of deliberately delaying. israeli negotiators were supposed to head to qatar to continue talks. that trip has been delayed until next week when the prime minister returns to israel following that friday meeting in florida with former president donald trump. so the families really feeling that the prime minister does not share their sense of urgency b

about bringing the hostages home, and as you said, the fact that five bodies recovered by the israeli military from the khan yunis area last night just grimly, grimly underscores that sense of urgency. the prime minister also did not give a whole lot of detail about what is a top priority for president biden in his remaining term in office, which is trying to lay the foundations for the future governance of gaza and for the massive, massive reconstruction effort that is going to be needed there after nine months of war. the prime minister said gaza needs to be deradicalized. it needs to be demilitarized, and he said at some point indeterminant in the future there should be a civilian palestinian administration in charge there. he really gave no details about who would make up that administration and what kind of steps israel is taking to prepare the way for it to assume power, chris. >> kelly, let me ask you about the meeting with the families of the hostages because if the speech by bibi netanyahu has done one thing, it has given

them, i think a renewed forum, right? we've seen them out a lot. they've been on television. they've been doing radio interviews wanting, obviously, to keep this story and their message, which for a long time bring them home. they've tried to keep them in the public eye. what is their influence, do you think, and what's been the relationship with the white house over these last months as, you know, in reality sometimes their story has gotten lost in the crush of other news. >> well, certainly they have had outreach with the white house for an extended time, and some of that has been with the national security adviser jake sullivan who has met with them on multiple occasions, and these families believe that they represent a very human part of this conflict that could be resolved through negotiation, and they want to be certain that their loved ones are not lost and to try to bring together two

of the most powerful individuals in the world, president biden and prime minister netanyahu who could effect some change on this. it has been a real intention of theirs to have a meeting together, and so that has required a sustained advocacy on the part of families, and they have not felt that they have been heard sufficiently, and they certainly are concerned about the ongoing impact on the families. you remember a time earlier in the conflict when we had joyful returns of women and children in the early days. it's been a long time since one of those happy reunions has occurred. there was the rescue that took place that is, you know, separate from these negotiations, but there is real pain that these families are trying to represent, and they're trying to turn that into some political power with these meetings, and this is an important forum today given all the different voices on this issue and the high bar of risk that comes to their loved ones

with anything that goes on in an ongoing, aggressive approach from the state of israel toward hamas, and so the intel that the u.s. has been able to provide on hostages and the relationships are important, but these families want to see a real sense of accomplishment by getting the release of those who can be found and are still alive in gaza. >> a nearly unbearable situation continues for them. and then, peter, a netanyahu leader meets with kamala harris tomorrow, he's scheduled to meet with donald trump. here's what trump said when he was asked about netanyahu today and how he would handle the war on gaza. >> yeah, i want him to finish up and get it done quickly. you've got to get it done quickly because they are getting decimated with this publicity. israel has to handle their public relations. their public relations are not good, and they've got to get this done fast. >> give us a window, peter into

what that meeting might be like. is it even clear that donald trump has gotten over the fact that netanyahu, you know, con congratulated joe biden after he won in 2020? >> yeah, the two of them have a really interesting relationship, right? because for the first three years of trump's presidency, probably no foreign leader aligned himself more closely with trump than prime minister netanyahu, and trump reciprocated with all sorts of benefits for israel as netanyahu sought them, including moving the embassy to jerusalem, recognizing the sovereignty over the golan heights, closing the palestinian office in washington, and cutting off aid and so forth, but that last year was kind of fraught, even before the end. the president got upset at netanyahu when he came to the white house and gave what trump considered to be a campaign speech. he got mad at the way he was handling the peace plan that trump wanted to advance, and then you're right, he got particularly upset that netanyahu congratulated joe biden after the election because

of course trump refuses to concede that he lost that election. and so there has been this friction there, and i think that the statement you heard him make on fox today reflects the fact that he's not necessarily going to be, you know, unadulterated friend of bibi netanyahu. he could be pushing netanyahu like president biden does but maybe for different reasons and from different point of views and different ways. the casualty count and the consequences of war, but they both in some ways are pushing the prime minister to get this war over. >> peter baker, kelly o'donnell, thank you both. a north korea man has been indicted for cyber attacks on american hospitals and other health care providers. this is his picture, the fbi is searching for this man. he is a north korean citizen. they're offering a reward for up to $10 million for information. he is accused of laundering

ransom money from those cyber attacks on hospitals and using it to fund other attacks on defense contractors and other government entities. in 90 seconds, tensions on the trail now escalating between kamala harris and donald trump and pressure now that there's a deadline for her vp pick. stay with us. ck stay with us

moment in american politics with focus on the presidential race intensifying, the former president who survived an assassination attempt versus the newly elevated vice president are both on the campaign trail and escalating their attacks previewing what will clearly be a blunt and brutal campaign. >> for three and a half years lying kamala harris has been the ultraliberal driving force behind every single biden catastrophe. she is a radical left lunatic who will destroy our country, if she ever gets the chance to get into office. we're not going to let that happen. >> in this moment we are in a fight for our most fundamental freedoms, and to this room of leaders, i say bring it on. [ cheers and applause ] bring it on. >> for trump, this is new territory. it's the first time in his political career he's struggling to own the news cycle and to win

back momentum. harris has been boosted, of course, by early polling, record fund-raising, and has another major news making moment coming up. two sources tell "the washington post" she will select her running mate by august 7th. as "the new york times" cheekily put it, the only thing more exciting than a veepstakes it seems, is a surprise veepstakes. allie raffa is following the harris campaign in houston. also with us former new york democratic congressman and former chairman of the house democratic caucus, joseph crowley, and "washington post" columnist and msnbc political analyst, eugene robinson, great to have you here. you are where kamala harris was just a short time ago, now in a race to define herself essentially before her potential opponent does. what did voters hear from harris today? >> reporter: yeah, chris, well, this conference for the american federation of teachers has moved on to official business, but when vice president harris spoke here just a few hours ago, you

could tell from the warm welcome she received in this room that they needed no convincing to support her in november. she received a standing ovation from this crowd, who by the way, had been the first union to endorse her since the president passed the torch on to her as the standard bearer for the democratic party, and she went through a list of reasons why she said that she is pro-union and she talked about the work that she has done as vice president for unions, what she would be able to do if elected president in november. she talked about her personal experiences with teachers who have made a huge impact on her life, and then she drew a contrast between what she said were those focused on the future and those focused on the past. she talked about this election being a fight for freedoms. that's definitely fitting given the harris campaign's first video of her that they released earlier today called "we choose freedom." take a listen to that part of the speech here. >> because here's the thing,

here's the thing, here's the thing, we believe in our country. we believe in its promise of freedom, and the american people believe in the promise of freedom, so we are in the fight. >> reporter: harris then ticked through a list of goals. she says that former president trump and maga republicans have if they win the white house in november. at one point even asking the crowd here if they had seen the project 2025 agenda, and finally, she got a huge reaction from the crowd here when she talked about these vows that she would make if elected in november. she talked about enshriing roe v. wade into federal law, passing the john lewis voting rights act, banning assault weapons and making sure that every student in this country can learn america's history a huge reaction here when she made those vows, and notably, after

she left here, the union even played a montage of video clips of members vowing to support harris in november and to get out the vote for her leading into november in these next coming months, chris. >> allie, thank you for that. congressman, this has been i think we can say a fairly electric week for kamala harris, a pretty historic start to her campaign, massive donations rolling in. how should the campaign be utilizing the money, the support? is there a way to kind of catch that fire in a bottle is and move it forward through november? >> i think she's doing that just right now. i think in creating or drawing the contrast between herself and trump in particular. someone who is a prosecutor versus someone who's convicted of 34 criminal counts and is now a convict. it's also drawing that distinction between freedom and autocracy. these are clear issues that she's drawing out and mapping

out for these next three or four months, and i think they're already doing that. the excitement that's already been drawn, look at the overwhelming numbers in fund-raising, over 60% for the first time contributing to a campaign. that's real excitement on the ground i think in some of these more competitive districts as well. >> so eugene, the harris campaign put out a statement after donald trump's interview on fox this morning referring to it as -- and i'm quoting her campaign -- a seven day fox news appearance asking, quote, we only have one question is donald trump okay? i mean, there's a generational split you could argue for that little bit of snark. is there any risk at all that people might say why are you going down to his level? >> well, that's a long way above his level, chris. [ laughter ] as you well know, she's not anywhere near his level. you know, look, i think she's --

one thing that she's doing that is so important and i'm sure is driving trump crazy is, as you mentioned, she is dominating the news cycle. he can barely get a word in edge wise. he can't get anywhere. and you know -- >> and also, when he does, they're fast to respond, right? oh, sorry, we have to go to the oval office, biden and netanyahu who spoke briefly to the cameras. let's take a listen. everybody in? welcome back, mr. prime minister. we've got a lot to have talk about. i think we should get to it.

the floor is yours. >> mr. president, we've known each other for 40 years, and you've known every israeli prime minister for 50 years, so from a proud jewish, to a proud irish american i want to thank you for 50 years of public service and 50 years of support for the state of israel, and i look forward to discussing with you today and what could we do in the months ahead and the great issues before us. >> i look forward to it as well. that first meeting with prime minister gold mare, assistant next to me, guy named rabine. that's how far back it goes. i was only 12. anyway, thank you all for being here. >> let me come back to you, gene, as we talk about the struggle the trump campaign is

having in the news cycle. there's a guy who still has a job and it happens to be at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. there's some pretty significant things that need to be done, and you heard him there. i mean, somebody with long experience in the middle east, the two of them looking kind of kumbaya when we know the extreme tensions that are there, but this is a tough, tough situation unlike anything donald trump has ever seen. >> absolutely because he is now being double teamed. as of last night he's being double teamed. not just by the presumptive still democratic candidate, nonetheless it will be kamala harris, and by president president biden. and here's just one small example. you showed that clip, they're having that bilateral meeting. netanyahu with president biden, later this afternoon, prime minister netanyahu will have a sit-down one-on-one meeting with

vice president harris because he is no fool, and he understands that she may well be the next president and that's important for any israeli leader. so really donald trump has two very powerful opponents right now, a presidential candidate and a president. >> so i want to talk a little bit if i can, congressman about joe biden closing a chapter last night, right? it does kick off a fierce new era of this campaign, but it was also a long -- it will be a long and somewhat emotional good-bye, certainly for him, for his family. i want to play a little bit of what he had to say last night. >> i revere this office, but i love my country more. i draw strength and i find joy in working for the american people, but this sacred task of perfecting our union is not about me. it's about you, your families,

your futures. it's about we the people. >> people can argue about his timing, whether he should have gotten out earlier, congressman. you know, those conversations will be had and the history will be written by historians, but let's talk about what role he can play to help kamala harris moving forward because obviously this is now intricately tied to his own legacy. >> no, i think it was a very poignant speech last night and certainly very sincere. i've been saying for the last three weeks that joe biden loves his country more than himself, and he said that last night, and i thought also, chris, he thanked the american people for that opportunity. the opportunity to sit behind the resolute desk. i thought that was wonderful for him to say. a kid from scranton, ohio, i'm sorry, scranton, pennsylvania, becoming the president of the united states. i want to just follow up with what eugene was talking about. i think the republicans were looking for a much bigger bounce after their convention. to have joe biden announce on sunday that he would not be running for re-election, kamala

harris taking hold of the nomination so quickly, the speech last night by the president. you're right, donald trump is struggling to get in front of the headlines. i do think, though, also as eugene was saying to have both the president who's not running again who can really maneuver and really help promote kamala harris as she moves as the vice president into this new role as the democratic nominee for president of the united states. >> and what a contrast, eugene, we talk about this all the time, but the difference between the way that kamala harris and the democrats around her are presenting themselves versus donald trump and the republicans around him, and i'm thinking about right after this speech in the oval, you saw the emotion. you saw his family was there, they're sitting along the wall there, his wife, his kids, his grandkids, and then after that and you see him with dr. jill

biden, he goes out into the rose garden, and his staff, i understand there were hundreds of people there, are cheering for him. for voters who are nervous about the future, how important was this i guess stable passing of the torch from joe biden? >> it was very important. i mean, you know, president obama used to always say the presidency was a relay race really, and you took the baton, you ran your leg, and then you handed it off to somebody else and in effect, joe biden is handing off the baton after this incredibly long and just more than distinguished career of a half century of public service. he -- while he was in the senate, while he was vice president and while he was president, really inspired this incredible loyalty and affection from his staff that i

wouldn't -- i guess i can't say it's unique, but it's unusual for politicians in washington. joe biden is unusually loved and so it was really as the congressman said, a poignant moment for so, so many people in the party because after all, joe biden knows everybody in the democratic party. you should see him doing a rope line in any state, and he knows everybody. >> eugene robinson, former congressman joe crowley, allie raffa, thank you all so much. the dnc rules committee is declaring that anyone who's looking to challenge kamala harris only has until saturday to do it. a member of that committee who used to work with harris will join me next. you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc. atching g reports" only on msnbc

team usa is back! let's see that enhanced 4k from xfinity. wow. everything you'd want is right here when you say... “olympics” so, what if your favorite athlete is... "grant hollowa”" nice.

august 7th. the republicans set ballot deadline in ohio. joining me now, california lieutenant governor elena kuehl na kis. she's also a member of the dnc rules committee. thank you for being with us. this process is moving fast by any standards, unprecedentedly so. so logistically, structurally, is the committee ready to pull this off? >> well, i think we did. first of all, thank you so much for having me. it was an exciting moment for us. ordinarily our conventions really just affirm the votes that happen during the primary process when millions of people, as we know, voted for joe biden as our nominee. so for the rules committee to actually have to take this up was unprecedented and unusual, and for us, the most important thing is that we have a solid legal foundation for choosing our nominee, and so it's been done very meticulously so that we know that we will have a

candidate on the ballot in all 50 states, whoever that person is, because as you know, we have yet to formally nominate our nominee. >> there are critics -- and i know you know this who believe the dnc, the democratic leadership just pushed kamala harris through. they didn't give any other potential nominees a real chance. is it a fair criticism? >> no, i think that's a misunderstanding of the process. anyone who wants to be considered for the nomination needs out of just 4,000 delegates only needs 300 of them to endorse them in order to be able to take a run at it. so far there's not a big ground swell of people coming forward, but what i would say that i have noticed really is that kamala harris has established herself so quickly as the obvious choice for us that there's been this enormous ground swell, not just

from the delegates but, frankly, from people across the country. you know, some of your guests earlier were talking about the enormous historic amount of money that's been raised, but it's the numbers behind that, almost a million and a half people have gone online to make a contribution, and somewhere around 75,000 people have signed up to volunteer for her campaign. this is a ground swell unlike anything we've ever seen before, which is very helpful because if, in fact, we do nominate her in the next week or so, we will be able to come out of the gate, to go up against donald trump with a consolidation of support behind our nominee, kamala harris. >> let me ask you because i know you worked with kamala harris in the san francisco d.a.'s office about a very specific skill set that she will use both on the campaign trail and in debates if they happen. she says she plans to prosecute the case against donald trump. as someone who knows her, who's

watched her work, how will she do that? >> so at the time i was in business and living in san francisco, we weren't really friends, but those of us in california who know her and of course now i'm the lieutenant governor, i know her very well. she has been a supporter of mine as i've been a supporter of hers. we know the depth of capability of kamala harris in particular as a prosecutor, so it is the prosecutor versus the criminal, and i think beyond that what she brings is a very positive vision for the future. so i think we're going to see that come through as well. >> california's lieutenant governor, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> good to see you. up next, a former uvalde police officer pleads not guilty. the latest from uvalde after. this.

former uvalde police officer, adrian gonzalez has pled not guilty to 29 counts of abandoning and endangering a child two years after one of the nation's deadliest school shootings at robb elementary. gonzalez was one of the first officers to arrive on the scene at uvalde. it took 77 minutes before a tactical team confronted and killed the teen gunman only after he murdered 19 fourth graders and two teachers with an

ar-15 style rifle. guad venegas is on the ground in uvalde, texas, for us. what's the latest from court, guad? >> reporter: chris, it was an emotional day here with a lot of the family members of the victims present in court today. this courtroom is across the street from the town square where the memorial was set up for the victims more than two years ago. in fact, walking into the courtroom you can see from across the street some of the crosses that still remain in that town square. so officer or former officer gonzalez arrived with his attorney today in court, more than half of the people inside that courtroom where family members of the victims he pled not guilty. the judge spoke to his attorney, spoke to the prosecutors, and they did set a new date for the next hearing that's going to be the pretrial, september 16th. the judge also indicated that if found guilty, mr. gonzalez faces up to two years in prison. and it was very emotional, especially after the hearing, when mr. gonzalez walked outside

of the courtroom, his attorney addressed the media and spoke of what they believe of the charges and what they can expect moving forward with the process, while mr. gonzalez walked right to his car, parents waiting for him. parents of the victims yelling at him asking if he was sorry for what had happened. he was silent as he kept making his way. we spoke to one of the parents that attended today who told us he had -- the charges against mr. gonzalez, this is what he had to say. >> there were, you know, 20 some odd officers in that hallway the whole time, and you're telling me, oh, i didn't go in because no one commanded me to? really? no, what you did was you thought that your life was more important than our children's. why didn't you let the parents go in that were trying to. they would have taken the bullets. >> reporter: now, the question

moving forward is if more officers are going to be charged, let's keep in mind that hundreds of officers responded that day. both officers that have been now charged belong to the school district police, but we also had the local police department, county police as well as state and federal officers arrive that day. so as of now, we know two officers have been charged, but we'll have to wait and see if more are charged in the future, chris. >> guad venegas, thank you. and coming up, as extreme heat in america continues to shatter records, what could a harris presidency mean for the future of climate policy? you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc. ansing reports" only on mbcsn (man) mm, hey, honey. looks like my to-do list grew.

we just lived through the hottest day on earth ever. the european climate service said the planet shattered all records for the hottest temperatures in modern history on sunday and immediately blasted through that record on monday. we're seeing the impact nationwide right now with heat advisories in effect from the west coast to florida where it could feel as hot as 108 later today. in arizona, maricopa county officials reveal they're investigating 396 deaths they suspect were caused by dangerous temperatures in just the last four months. president biden has preside his administration as the most consequential for climate action in our nation's history. but former president trump has vowed to repeal biden's $269 billion climate bill. so what does it mean for harris

now in the race? here's national climate reporter chase kay. >> reporter: in milwaukee, only five days apart, two distinct views on climate change. >> he literally promised big oil companies, big oil lobbyists, he would do their bidding for $1 billion in campaign donations. >> we will drill, baby, drill. >> the same phrase appears in the official republican platform calling for an expansion of oil and gas production, the liquid gold under our feet, which would further heat the planet. despite that died, some climate activists never fully supported president biden. a protest through manhattan highlighted views he didn't do enough to stop our use of fossil fuels. and that dissatisfaction continued into last week in washington. >> we need a new generation of leadership. people who are articulate and bold and passionate and who can

fight for us. joe biden is too old to fight the fight. he has done some good things with the environment for the inflation reduction act. his time has come. >> reporter: since the president stepped aside, climate activist groups have lined up to support kamala harris. what makes her more appealing than biden. in 2005, as san francisco district attorney, harris created an office for environmental justice and that was before some first time voters were even born. >> she has a history, and i think specifically she has a history around holding big oil accountable in a way that we haven't been able to do in the last four years. >> reporter: the executive director of the sunrise movement, highlights harris's opposition to oil, coal and gas, the primary drivers of climate change. in 2015 and 2016, as california attorney general, harris investigated and sued oil and gas companies. in 2019, she became an early sponsor of the green new deal and in 2020, harris campaigned against fracking and offshore

drilling. >> kamala harris wins, first 100 days in office. these are the big things she's got to tackle with climate change first. what's at the top of your list? >> that's such a great question. i would love to see a bill that really puts forward how tackling climate change can decrease our cost of living and improve our lives. i think that includes housing, education and jobs, first and foremost. i think that there is a really big chance that we're able to get bigger wins under a harris administration. >> reporter: support from voters who prioritize climate change could prove pivotal in a close election. a university of colorado analysis found that quote, climate change opinion probably cost republicans the 2020 presidential election. in california, national climate reporter, chase cain. i want to bring in tim hogan, former aid to amy klobuchar, as well as the clinton presidential campaign. tim, polling consistently shows economy, jobs, inflation, when they ask voters the issues that matter most to them.

is it any different this year? >> no, it's not. those are the core issues that voters care about. but climate, as the package we just saw said is also a huge. you have a clear contrast between donald trump and kamala harris. you have donald trump who said for a billion dollars, he'll sell access to oil executives, called it a climate hoax. called them climate cultists. there's no serious agenda there. he rolled back 100 regulations on air and water pollution, stacked his administration with people like scott pruitt who are lobbyists for the industry, and kamala harris, she had an environmental justice office. she sued chevron and bp, got $50 million from them over oil spills. it's clear as night and day on this issue. >> who do you target? is it young people? there's a new "axios" poll, not talking about climate change but opening up a lead against trump

among young voters. biden led by 6 points, if it's harris versus trump, those same voters prefer her by a 20 point margin, 60 to 40%. how do they capitalize on that? >> there's a huge margin there, and what's instantaneous about it, as we have a new candidate, as the concern about age has fallen to the wayside, we've seen incredible momentum for the campaign, and it's with young voters, but it's also with black voters, hispanic voters. there's civics analytics tracking polls, an instant, 8 point, 7 point boost with those as well. it's now about taking advantage of the momentum we have. the $126 million that the campaign has raised, the 36,000 people who signed up on vote.org to register to vote. more than taylor swift, doing more than taylor swift, incredible. and the hundred thousand volunteers who showed up now to volunteer for the campaign. it's about mobilization.

so it really is getting the momentum and keeping it moving forward. >> the magic words for any campaign, taylor swift. tim hogan, thank you so much. it's good to have you on the program. brand new exclusive reporting shows former president obama is expected to endorse kamala harris, but how soon might that happen? and when will we see him out on the trail? stale close. we'll be right back. stale close. we'll be right back.
