here with michael steele. alysia is off, honey, and she had the right idea this morning, okay? today donald trump backed out of his planned presidential debate. the new plans he is making is the harris campaign calls out his games. then, at any moment we could know the vice president running mate's election. hopefully the timing enis out. governor cooper joins us ahead of the announcement. and the youth vote, young people are mobilizing for team harris. but will it translate to the ballot box? david hawes at the table. so grab your copy books and settle in, welcome to the weekend. donald trump is trying to get out of the debate with vice president harris. now, he claims the abc news debate, set for september 10th was quote, terminated. but the harris campaign says

that is just not true. a campaign source tells nbc news that it is their t understanding that abc intends to quote, provide the airtime e to whichever qualifying candidates show up. donald trump, instead, proposed a debate with his friends at fox news. here's what he said last night in atlanta. >> you know, we are doing one with fox if she shows up. she can talk, she can read a teleprompter, i give her about a six on a scale of 10. six. for talking i would give her less than a one. we need people that can talk. vice president harris responded quote, it is interesting how, anytime, anyplace becomes one specific time, one specific safe space. joining us nenow is msnbc political contributor and white house correspondent for e politico, eugene daniels. he is also the president of the white house correspondents association. >> so, you have e got-- you hav got-- first of all, first off, can i just, can i just reset so everyone can be a little bit

less confused on this blessed sunday morning. donald trump, after all these years cannot use a teleprompter, can't talk for ish on the teleprompter, so if she is at a six, baby, you are barely 0. >> and he slurs his words. >> you just can't talk. >> she is a vice president, prosecutor, come on. >> the reality of it is, he is afraid, he is afraid of the black woman who is now is running for president, because he doesn't know how to handle that. you don't know what to do with that, so he tries to break it down, he tries to make it less valuable than it really is. how does that-- how do people-- how should people read this part of the narrative? because there will be no fox, there will be no fox debate. there is an abc debate, donald, not a fox debate. but how do you think this plays out? what are you hearing about the machinations around the debate, possibly, you know, something

being bad for them, may be something more neutral to them since this is a reset. >> that is what he's trying to do, from the very beginning of the debate conversation, it was joe biden as the presumptive bi nominee, donald trump was the one who was kind of just saying, yes i will do that, because the biden campaign came out and-- you know, to biden's detriment as a nominee, obviously. but said this is what enwe want to do on june, september, we want to do one with cnn, one with abc. this is donald trump trying to take back the narrative and not look like he is the person that is just like being pulled along by joe biden and now vice president, kamala harris. you know, people at abc are moving forward as if there is a debate, they are doing their prep, they are getting their horses together. they are thinking about september 10th. >> even if-- pardon inme, even only vice president harris shows up? >> now it is a townhall, now it is a town hall with vice

president, kamala harris. so, if the trump campaign wants to see 90 minutes to their-- to his opponents that is likely to happen. i will say, you know, the harris campaign, the folks behind the scenes have said, we want to do abc, we will talk about anything else after that, but this-- we are talking about the abc debate, that is what we have been prepping for, that is what the schedule allows for. but all of this could change. this entire election has just been thing after thing after thing changing. but i will say, that the idea that vice president harris is scheduled to be-- she is exposed excited to debate and talk with folks around her, both her inner circle on the folks outside of that, everyone is on the same page about being ready to debate. you know, putting -- >> she is a prosecutor-- >> i will say she has also been out on the campaign trail, doing these many townhall style events, where she will go someone will be in conversation and she will take questions, so

she is primed and ready to kind of have kind of an answer questions about specific policy issues. donald trump, he has been doing these big box-- and i have these quotes, big box, because he had his rally at the same place, the atlantic yesterday where vice president had hers. >> how did it turn out? >> knotwell. and donald trump himself said i am not happy, there were a lot of stream of consciousness thoughts happening. >> he tells you write what he is thinking and i think the format that he has been taking, his engagement on the campaign n trail, it has not supported the idea of debating a-- you know, a seasoned debater, if you will. that is who vice president i harris is. he is concerned. this is what donald trump had to say about the vice president trying to define her. >> so, we have to work hard to define her, i just want to say who she is, she is a horror show, she will destroy our country. she doesn't want anyone saying

-- now she is denying it. you have a candidate to his fake, fake, fake. on the other hand, you have a president who will fight, fight, fight for america. fight, fight, fight. >> he is just repeating what the consultants told him. that was an internal campaign: conversation saying, sir, we have to define her, you have to stay on message. i've been there, giving a different message. that is donald trump, honey. he is undisciplined and frankly, a bad candidate. >> they just don't know how to run against vice president, kamala harris. they were prepared and excited run against joe biden they had the entire plan, they thought the election was over, and they had everything they needed, youv know, and president biden was giving them plenty of evidence every single day to what they were saying, how they were framing him, they are having a hard time, clearly framing and defining, as he was putting it, vice president harris. you know, last week, we talked

to-- for playbook we talked to both republicans kind of in then apparatus on the campaign and they said we are ready, you know, the first time we were caught off guard, we have a whole different idea, we are going to talk about the border, which isn't true, we will talk about x, y, and z, but what ended up happening is now they are back talking about her race, about her gender. it is almost impossible to get him away from that at this point. >> so i can't-- i was just saying this, symone sanders- townsend, during this little media , can we just use his words against him? i don't understand why we don't- - for example-- for example, let's just take the quote we just heard, and this is any of us, including kamala harris if she wants to go down this road, so, we have to work hard to define him, i don't want to even define him, i just want to say who he is. he is a horror show, he will

destroy our country. he doesn't want anybody saying g merry christmas, now he is denying it. you have a candidate, who is fake, fake, fake. on the other hand, you have a president who will fight, fight, fight, or a vice president who will fight, fight, fight for america. this-- the thing about donald trump and i'm curious how reporters cover this, because to be honest, y'all leave a whole lot of ish on the table. y'all justly too much on the table and you take what this man says and if-- a, it is meaningful, b, it is important, and-- but for that title, president, former president in front of his name, there's no way this iteration of donald trump would be a viable candidate for dog catching, let alone president. and i just don't understand why we allow so much of what he says to seep into our culture

and our politics as normal. that is not a normal quote from a human being running for president. he cannot string a competent, no coherent sentence together, talking about someone else who is his political opponent, and we, in the press, and the media and others, look at this as this sort of dogfight, this who is ahead, who is behind rat race, as opposed to what this actually says about how we have fallen as a country to allow that crap every day on our air. that's just me. i don't know. trying to have some coffee. ee >> just taking out. i mean, the question about , whether or not-- what this tells about the country, that ll is why we come to the people like y'all, the people who have worked in politics before, people who are free to share their opinions. i don't think, you know, reporters, the country is not confused about who donald trump is, they weren't confused about

who joe biden was, that is why people didn't want this race, the race between two of them. so what we-- >> but of the two of them, why did joe biden have to go? >> well, because people pushed him out, i will just say this to marco's point so, because i do share your frustration about donald trump, he is not a worthy opponent to vice president harris, he wasn't a worthy opponent, in my opinion,o to donald trump, yet the polls were closed, i will say, they continue to be closed, because there are people in this country silenced, there are folks just fine with the incoherent sentences, to an extent, but i think playing his sound and dictating what he just -- going back over it, it is important, because i think sometimes people think we are making it up, donald trump oh, he didn't say that, y'all are being dramatic, he didn't need it like that. no, he is saying these things and you need to take all of him and his slurred words for face value. >> slurring first thing in the morning. eugene stick around.

next, vice president harris is close to giving a rose to her running mate. and later in the hour, race for our lies cofounder, david hogg, with the message dan gen z is sending to harris. you are watching the weekend. what tractor supply customers experience is personalized service. made possible by t-mobile for business. with t-mobile's reliable 5g business internet. employees get the information they need instantly. this is how business goes further with t-mobile for business.

so, today, vice president, kamala harris, is interviewing top contenders in her search for a running mate that would be vp. washington post reports quote, harris will meet with minnesota governor, tim walz, pennsylvania governor, josh shapiro and arizona senator, mark kelly. the weekend job interviews, after harris vetting team met with six contenders who would serve as a potential running mate with the vice president. once kamala harris makes a decision, she will hit the road with her vp pick. visiting all seven battleground states this week. and, while the harris campaign looks to the future, donald trump is looking to, well, the past. renewing a feud last night with georgia republicans over his bogus claims of a stolen election. the more things change the more they stay the same. eugene daniels is back with us. symone, you are coming up out of your seat.

>> because i-- listening to this rally last night i was like what does he know how to win the election? do you want to win georgia? because the way he disparaged governor kent, who, while governor kent never stood for the election mile things, i think he was actually a model for republicans to show how you could still be a real republican, you can still say all of the things you want to say about ivf and all of the other things, but you don't have to go on the election to nihilism and now, he is coming after governor kemp and brad roethlisberger in 20 24. here's what he had to say about them, name checking them at this rally last night. >> your governor, camp and roethlisberger are doing every thing possible to make 2024 difficult for republicans to win. what are they doing? i don't know. they've got something in mind, a little something in mind, kemp is very bad for the republican party.

his estate has become a laughing stock over it, and you know what? i love this date, i won this state twice. in my opinion, once i won and i did once better the second time. >> he did not win the state twice in his opinion, that is a lie, but again, attacking governor kemp and brad roethlisberger seeing it is very hard for republicans in 2024, i think roethlisberger would like republicans on the ballot in georgia to be successful. >> so what governor kemp. i interviewed governor kemp during the weekend you know, he doesn't talk-- as much as donald trump talks about him he does not do the same thing right? he says we have our differences, i'm a republican i moving on i don't want joe biden to win, that's the conversation he and i had, and he is not, in any way interested in as president terrace going to meet be president in january 20th next year. so, what donald trump continues to do is he gets obsessed with something.

he is obsessed with that phone call, he's obsessed with the fact that he was indicted, because of the phone calls and trying to overturn the will of the voters in georgia. he is obsessed with the fact that kemp, for the entire time stood his ground and won reelection. stood his ground and has been kind of an example the republicans, you can stand your ground, not go down the road of saying the election was stolen and still keep your seat. others have not followed him, but that is one of the things that has bothered donald trump is he is like one of the rivals to donald trump who has not had to bow his feet or loses the. >> well, to your point about what roethlisberger represents as a more mainstream, traditional republican, he also represented the election, you know, in his state. he responded on x, noting the election will reflect the will

of the people. people taught us this type of message doesn't sell well here in georgia, sir. a little shade there, from raffensperger. but it does speak up to an underlying narrative now, with emergence to energy and visa pickens of a harris campaign. georgia is at play, america. georgia is much more in play than it was six weeks ago. and that-- i think is a little bit unnerving, from what i am hearing from a couple of republican circles, because now they have to fight on what is ostensibly a red state battleground right? all of the sudden now georgia maybe a little bit more purple. so, raffensperger-- to your point, the raffensperger narrative does, i think, play strongly to republicans or trump

, certainly independent voters. and that is a little bit worrisome for the how this could potentially turnout in a state like georgia, because that beaver could take hold in arizona, it could take hold in other parts of the country. north carolina. >> north carolina, just weeks before president harris took before took over before the nominee, weeks before, days before you had democrats be like georgia is off, we are not going to get it. and republicans feel the exact same way, they have to spend more time there, they have to spend more money there. vice president harris isn't hanging out in new york city a bunch of times, because it is a blue state, but now donald trump has to go there a little bit more, they have to figure out which other republicans they want to send to events there, walk on the street and knock on doors, he needs to spend time there. >> actually show up. instead of calling in. >> all of those kinds of things. so, it has shaken up-- this is

a perfect example of how this race has been shaken up since vice president harris has been on the top of the ticket. >> jimmy carter, great man of georgia, saying he just wants to stay alive so he can cast his ballot for vice president harris.'s 100th birthday is coming up, and his birthdays at the beginning of october and early voting in georgia starts october 15th. so, i am hoping that jimmy carter gets to stay alive and do his thing. we were chatting at the break, and this-- i have thoughts about this freedom message from the president, because i've been reading a lot of stories, not from you, but from reporters who say, oh, this-- >> the new-- >> this new take, joe biden talked about democracy, now, let harris isn't talking about freedom. isn't she talking about freedom? >> it goes to the point that they weren't covering her. they weren't-- there was somebody i thought, maybe around here somewhere-- the vice president-- >> oh, the vice president--

>> i've been around covering her from the beginning. there's a few of us, a small group, but mighty. >> small but mighty. >> she told me that many times in those olden days. the vice president has always talked about that right? president biden is obsessed with democracy, he has a very old-school way of talking about what that means in this country, but from the day that stops happened, even before, when you talk about that, the way that dobbs can done, she was immediately talking about freedom , the word democracy can mean different things to different people, for black people and brown people that were democracy doesn't mean the same thing sometimes that it means to white people, for poor people it always doesn't mean the same thing as it does for people who have a little bit of money. freedom though, everybody can kind of get freedom, you get to do what you want, the government kind of stays out of your business, and this is interesting, because you start to see the campaign talk about a little bit there, president biden was always talking about

democracy, but the campaign was always talking about freedom. it is now, she is the center, so people think it is a campaign change, sure, but actually that is how she has been framing this election this entire time, and she talks about it in terms of, you have the freedom to do with what you want with your own body, freedom to vote, freedom to x, y, and z, and it works for really any policy prescription that she has. it is also where democrats are trying to take something back from republicans for a very long time. >> reclaiming the word freedom, because you know what? democrats are patriots too. i am a patriot okay? okay? america. eugene daniels, thank you so much. next folks, we are fact checking donald trump's claims on international diplomacy. we have alexander vindman who will join us in just a moment. you are watching the weekend.

by the way, i would like to congratulate vladimir putin for making another great deal. did you see that? look, we want to get people in. we got 59 hostages, i never paid anything. >> that was donald trump last night in atlanta, lying and congratulating vladimir putin for wrongfully imprisoning americans that our united states president and president had to negotiate to get back. donald trump did approve at least four prisoner exchanges during has them administration. his comments would allow you to believe he did not. including the taliban, the notion that donald trump did not give up anything to get americans back is not true. former national security council director of foreign affairs and senior advisor, alexander vindman carl, seeing that club just sickened me.

it is sickening, i don't know how you felt. >> so, i mean, look, this is what you should understand we have a second under trump administration a friend to our enemies, a friend to president putin calling him a president implies that he is democratically elected. he is wanted for terrorism. so, you know, this is the kind of administration that we would be set up for. our chaos, our people, an enemy to our friends, our allies, and i think, frankly, you know, we spent a lot of time talking about trump and his fealty towards these dictators, but i want to spend a second, talking about what president biden accomplished. i mean, this is a-- enormously successful to you. he didn't play art of the deal by pulling off something

enormously complex. a prisoner exchange, a person's criminals is extremely hard on a bilateral basis. we do not want to give putin a win. we want to give our adversaries wins. he managed to do this while pulling in multiple u.s. allies that, on their own, individual national security interest, the spanish, the germans, also made the decision that it was worth repatriating their citizens wrongfully detained from russia. there is a risk of perpetuating these kinds of hostage exchanges, but russia is a criminal regime. the most important thing we could do is to discourage u.s. citizens from going there, understand the inherent risks of traveling to a criminal regime. biden deserves enormous credit, and donald trump for praising our adversaries. let him highlight his terrible

leadership. >> alexander, i really appreciate your point there. in fact, the "new york times" really-- they really zeroed in on an aspect of this, which you know very well, the successful transfer highlighted the ability of some of the world's most powerful intelligence agencies to cooperate on a distinct operation of shared interest, even as russia and the west engaged in a tense standoff over the war in ukraine. it is a testament to exactly what you said about the administration, really having that moment where, you know, he is cursed to the sticking post, to quote shakespeare, and decided to move forward with this, bringing the allies into play. but it is the work of the intelligence communities as well. talk a little bit, if you can, from your experience in this

space, of how those particular organs come together to align the moment for the president to achieve the kind of success we just saw. >> well, you should probably-- we should start from the perspective that, from the russian perspective they are repatriating part of their intelligence have her apparatus, assassins, extortionists, cyber criminals, there is a link between these criminals and gangsters to the russian government, to the russian regime. so, starting with negotiation with security services, the lead, so they can speak to those-- to the self interest of the russians and repatriating gangsters is a good way to engage in this kind of diplomacy. if this was another rule or slightly less kind of malevolent regime, like russia is right now, you would start with state department not

looking at wrongful detainment and negotiation. so this was, even at that standpoint, mechanics make a lot of sense. and then, you know, our allies record is the same thing, the germans recognize that this is a former fsb officer that was an assassin and engage on that basis. but almost all branches of national security were involved it was law enforcement fbi was involved in working negotiations in the security council and the president himself showed great leadership and it wasn't just the president it was about vice president harris who played a lead role in these negotiations. the reason that putin has this exchange now is that it would not happen under trump. it is not because this is

against u.s. national security interest it is just that he didn't have the savvy leadership in a second term he wouldn't be of the negotiated this kind of sophisticated manner he really wanted to get his assassin out. so he got a little bit of a win there. but he recognized that he couldn't do it on other circumstances and president biden leveraged his own unique cachet amongst allies and the weight that carries to taking a much more considered position than he would have under the adversarial and ministration. >> absolutely. >> carl could we get you to weigh in on something we have been developing, the washington post said this report about 10- - about a $10 million cash withdrawal and it drove a secret probe into whether donald trump took money from egypt. this is what the report says five days before january 2017 a

manager in a brink bench in cairo received an unusual letter linked to the intelligence service but as a bank to kindly withdraw nearly $10 million from the organization's account, all in cash. now, when federal investigators apparently learned about withdrawal in early 19, they had this is a criminal investigation intensify to find out, really committed president -- to the egyptian president sought to give donald trump $2 million, bill barr intervened when he found out about this investigation and essentially shut it down. are you concerned that we still do not yet know the extent to which foreign actors, if you will, may have played a role in continuing to play a role in the support of donald trump. >> there's no chance that trump- - should be any misconception

that trump enterprise, trump was consistently self-serving and highly transactional and whether that is in direct negotiations or that is the way that they conducted their arms trade deal with saudi arabia and that resulted in a $2 million investment jared kushner looking to ingratiate themselves in the trump administration is a hotel in dc or branding kind of copyright copyright and kind of naming rights in china there is no chance that these things were missed and sort of dynamic a little bit and how-- the trump administration could be more friendly to those types of regimes that are willing to bend over backwards. this was well orchestrated, trump likes to get hands-on in

regards to money changes, where he was convicted of four counts. you authorized payments of tens of thousands of dollars. would be shortly a threshold that would be self interested and aware of it. i don't have any specific knowledge. and falls into a consistent pattern of the trump inc. trump looking to enrich himself and his own personal benefit and the u.s. national security and the american people's addressed be . so that is kind of the chaos we get for the second patrol administration and i think people recognize that and that is why you see support for kamala harris. >> carl alexander vindman, thank you for your time, we appreciate you. david hall will join the table to discuss the importance of young people in this upcoming election. that is next on the weekend. we.

in the days after vice president harris entered the 2024 race, a seismic shift happened among young voters. harris was leading trump by 20 points among 18-34-year-olds, nationwide, while president biden had been leading trump by just six points. but that doesn't mean the vice president can count on those votes come november, abc news notes, and the voters are largely optimistic about harris, but they say she still needs to prove her herself on the campaign trail and that is all true. joining us now is cofounder and president of leaders we deserve and cofounder of march for our lives, david. good to have you david. >> it's good to see you, david, i remember in 2020 part of the coalition building that the biden campaign had to do was

all of these progressive groups, younger groups, people who may not necessarily be primed to be with joe biden in the race, but given the stakes and whatnot, everybody came together and said we are going to work in tandem on these issues, but many people that got endorsed, they did end up endorsing, but march of our lives this year has endorsed vice president harris, it is their first ever presidential campaign endorsement and to me i think that speaks volumes, i think that means that, not only do folks understand the stakes in the selection, but that this is something that they feel they need to, you know, that they they too have their you know, stake in the game, if you will. this is an stressed we are all going to come together we have to be donald trump, we are coming together, we have to beat him, but also they want to be in on the ground floor of this well of enthusiasm, am i reading that right you think?

>> yeah, i think in the case of march for our lives historically, we have never endorsed anyone, because when we started, we started as a result of political failure. it was hard because many people wanted to use us and say you are going to endorse us for this and do nothing for us because that is how a lot of stuff works in this town obviously. and i think with-- when president biden was first writing we really wanted to make sure that he delivered in the first place, we wanted to make sure that he had credibility with young people to say, you know, we want you to go out there", but we also want politicians to deliver for us that you don't just say oh my god, you're so amazing, thank you for being supportive. what we saw with vice president harris was, what a champion this administration had been doing more than any other ministries before, really modern american history on gun violence, whether it was the most executive orders ever, the passage of the first federal gun law in 30 years after uvalde or the creation of the office of violence prevention that congressman frost, national organizer had been pushing for the past three

years prior to the creation of that office and we wants to make sure that these politicians ask for our endorsement, we ask them to endorse us by delivering for us and that is what we stand vice president harris. >> let's go with the headline though, gen z voters are, you know, optimistic about the harris campaign, you just noted. you know, what that has looked like. but what else are you expecting? what else are gen z voters needing to submit that relationship, because, as you and i have talked about in the past and you know and i know, sure sure do they do the smoke and mirrors and, they sound good on paper and they can lean on this occasion, but in

important occasions, later on, saying okay, where is everybody. so, what is that expectation look like going forward, because it is not just about this cycle. are there metrics that you are expecting? not just you, but gen z voters are expecting to see materialize within 100 days of a harris administration? what does that look like for you guys? >> you talk about what the biggest thing the campaign needs to do right now is remind people what the administration has done for young people and why, for example, we were not able to cancel all student debt, as we had talked about, because of the supreme court. i have talked to many young people around the country to say, you know, they talked about canceling student debt, but my student debt is still there. and i explain to them, well, you know that is because of donald trump the appointing of court members and there are some that wants to a repeal roe versus wade and ben abortion, when i say that their eyes open

up and they say, that is crazy why would they want to ban abortion? and i say exactly, so you need to go out and vote this november, but if we don't tell them that and they just see, am i better off four years later? than i am now and they feel like they are and because of the supreme court, because of the reversal of roe versus wade, we need to do a job, unfortunately the campaign, because of the failure, in part because of the education system. we have to educate people about the fact that the president is not a dictator right? he is not-- it is not something you can just get whatever they want, there's a good system of checks and balances, but there are also drawbacks to that, like we saw with student debt, like we have seen with roe versus wade and we need to educate these young voters about what the administration has done, whether that is the most climate spending ever of any country in human history to prevent disastrous climate change or the passage of the first gun law in 30 years. we saw a 20% reduction in gun homicides, that is nowhere near enough, but a of a lot better

than we were going previously. and we need to remind them of all of the student debt canceled but we need to re- remember how to talk about. most people who have had their debt canceled, when i told him this they were surprised by this. most who have had their student debt canceled were about 30 years old. >> yeah. >> so, when we pull young people and we say what you mean? you don't under understand you biden administration has canceled student debt, that is a statement we have actually been able to cancel, thank you to trump's puppets on the supreme court, like clarence thomas and what we have seen recently. that guy has to go, by the way. on top of that, we need to meet young voters where they are at because our gdp has grown this much. the fact is their debt is higher than it was four years ago. their debt in terms of the cost of living. right? rent has gone up enormously for young people how do we meet

them where they are at? >> this point is so important, david, because i think we turn around terms like gen z and millennial's, millennial's are the people who have gotten their student debt canceled, so all of the millennial's this year are turning four and four. youngest-- the youngest gen z are 12. so you are talking 18-29, you are the gen z folks. overlap with the millennial's. but there is-- i just think people throw around the terms who don't know who we are talking about and having drill down with what issues are and i think economic issues bolt to the top for everyone and that is what you are saying when you talk about that and when you talk about housing and rent, just the ability to-- we have the time, but goodness, it is expensive. so i just think you are just such a credible and great messenger on this in the time that we have left, we are hearing from you across the country. what concerns you the most and what excites you? >> what concerns me the most is

the hopelessness that i have heard. you know? just last year i started an organization that helps latino people across the country and i want people to know that their voices are heard and that is really what concerns me because if we don't bring hope back we are going to get another donald trump, because that is the greatest threat to american democracy. and my biggest hope is that we just turn out as many young people as possible. i hope you guys join us we have a call for supporters coming up for the harris campaign and you can find out the link to it on my twitter. >> all right. >> just real quick, what are your candidate pools like for young candidates this november? >> that is a great question. so, we have some amazing candidates, younger candidates running in swing district and swing states. so, in georgia he is a 24-year- old that just graduated from georgetown law, running against one of trump's fake electors right now. and if he was elected he would be the first native american

elected to anything higher than city council in georgia and we are working with candidates like that around the country, but we need people to support us to help support our work by getting them other young people to vote for around the country. >> that is right now. david, we appreciate you, thank you for all you are doing. he put a suit on for us today, y'all. we love it. what we love to see it. coming up, north carolina, gary cooper, he will talk about the race for vice president harris's running mate the race in north carolina, why he had to drop out from the running mate situation and be sure to follow our show on social media and everywhere is at the weekend msnbc. a volkswagen at the savvy vw summer sales event.
