i'm yamiche alcindor in for alex. we begin this hour with decision 2024 . we are 86 days away from election day today, former president donald trump and vice president kamala harris are spending the day out west. this was the scene outside vice president kamala harris' rally yesterday in arizona, the lines were long and winding. meanwhile, former president donald trump spoke last night in montana, that came amid new fallout of astarte came that former san francisco mayor willie brown was on his helicopter, saying bad things about vice president harris. here's part of a report from a colleague, gabe gutierrez . >> i went down in a helicopter with him, we thought maybe this was the end. this was an emergency landing, it was not a pleasant landing, willie was a little concerned. he told me terrible things about her. >> reporter: we spoke with willie brown by phone. to be clear, you have never been on a helicopter with donald trump.

>> no, i have not. are you kidding me? >> reporter: have you had any conversation with donald trump about kamala harris? >> of course not. >> reporter:'s initial reaction to trump's comments. >> i laughed, i just assumed that he was on a helicopter ride with somebody black and made the mistake and thought it was me. >> meanwhile, new york times siena poll conducted this week released hours ago shows that vice president harris leads a trump in the key battleground states of michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania. they all remain within the margin of error. this all comes as new video from a short time ago shows president biden relaxing on rehobeth beach, delaware, ahead of an event next week with vice president harris on working to bring down cost for all americans. we have a number of reporters covering today's headlines. we begin with las vegas, nevada. this is where vice president harris will hold a rally later today. what is the message vice president harris is time to

send to voters, especially as she wraps up this multistate battleground blitz? >> reporter: vice president harris is continuing to ride the momentum her and governor walz experienced on the swing state tour, thousands of people coming to see and hear them. continue delivering the same stunt message introducing governor walz as a former teacher, a veteran, framing both of their middle-class backgrounds, central to what the campaign is about, building up the middle class, defining fixture of their presidency. we saw her tailor her message to reflect the needs of arizona voters. we saw her incorporate section of her speech to focus on climate change, highlighting the former president refers to it as a hoax. we saw her tell native american unities she respects tribal sovereignty. we heard her talk about immigration, something she is only done so far during a visit

to another sunbelt state, georgia. listen to how vice president harris discussed her own immigration experience and donald trump's role blocking border security legislation. we will talk about it on the other side . >> we know that our immigration system is broken and we know what it takes to fix it. earlier this year, everybody here knows, earlier this year we had a chance to pass the toughest bipartisan border security bill in decades. but donald trump tanked the deal. because he thought by doing that, it would help them win an election. but when i am president, i will sign the bill. >> reporter: you are seeing that she is incorporating

immigration, border security into her stump speech when she comes to, her coming to a border state made that a decision her campaign felt was worthwhile. also, her campaign is excited about their new positioning in places like arizona and nevada today, as she continues to enjoy closing polling margins, at least putting on a stronger showing in battleground arizona and nevada today. >> it is so interesting to see her tailor the immigration messaging, given the fact republicans have been attacking her on the issue. thank you, donetsk to for that reporting. we go to jackson hole, wyoming and jake trailer, you are following former president donald trump and last night, trump rallied in montana, today is fundraising in wyoming, both of the state are deeply red, there is that senate race in montana, i wonder, what is the trump campaign thinking and are they concerned he might be losing time and ground in key swing states by the trip out west? >> reporter: the contrast is

notable. as we saw from nnamdi egwuonwu, vice president wallace and harris crisscrossing battleground states versus donald trump hosting a single campaign rally this entire week in bozeman, montana. he did have a press conference earlier on thursday, before that, senior campaign officials spoke with a select group of reporters, the message they shared, the significant take away was that, biden dropping out, harris joined the race, they believe the fundamentals of the race have not changed. in key swing states, they say harris will win over consolidated group of democrats and she will not win -- win over independent or republican voters. in key swing states, the campaign believes there's increasingly small group a small margin of people still true undecided voters, they chalk that up to 11% of individuals, voters in key swing states are still undecided. talk about unconventional week for the former president in

terms of not hitting key battleground states, instead having interview with online streaming platform as opposed to the conventional battleground campaigning you would expect around this time, this is unique play from the campaign where they try to target who they believe are the true persuadable's in this election. that being said, watching that take place all week long really contrasted with the former president last night making racially charged attacks against vice president harris, certainly not helping that unique campaign strategy. take a listen to that. >> kamala, she has nine different ways of pronouncing. because the press is so dishonest, no matter how you say it, they will say you were wrong. you were wrong, i don't care if you get it right, actually, i could care less. >> reporter: conflicting strategy from a trump campaign that claims to be a lot more disciplined and toned down than it was in 2020 and 2016, that

contrasting with the candidate that can't quite help himself. >> it is striking to see him and it is kamala harris, one way to pronounce her name. that being said, new pulling out from the new york times, siena college, it shows vice president harris with a slight lead over former president donald trump, especially among likely voters in michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania, all within the margin of error. it is showing a change in the race. what has been the reaction from the trump campaign? >> reporter: we have not heard anything, checking truth social, waiting for official campaign statement to the polling's. we have not heard anything yet, those are critical battleground states that are key for the electoral path to victory for harris and donald trump. i will note this, donald trump has said this many times on the campaign trail, when the polls are good, he talks about them,

when the polls are bad, they don't count and he does not want to talk about them. i would likely expect to hear a lot about the polls that don't favor donald trump in the next few hours. >> really interesting when you put it that way, he likes the polls that are good for him, he does not like the ones that are bad. thank you for your reporting. joining me is democratic congressman from south carolina, jim clyburn. thank you for being here and thank you for taking this saturday to talk to me. >> thank you very much for having me. >> this week, the cook political report moved arizona, georgia, and nevada from leaning republican to toss-up. vice president harris gains ground in polls, we heard that north carolina and maybe ohio, talking to a source yesterday about ohio being a place that maybe vice president harris could do better than president biden. i wonder what your sense of the potential path to victory for vice president harris, especially as you look at the polls? >> i think the path to victory

is widening every day, more and more paths for her. i would add, florida to that as well. referendum taking place on the ballot that has made the difference. places like ohio and kansas, i think they will make the difference in this instance as well. i do believe there are more and more avenues opening up for that harris/walz ticket. i think this is a battle royale underway and i think it is leaning toward the harris/walz ticket. >> as you mentioned, the harris/walz ticket, while added to the ticket, former president donald trump described him as a radical liberal, he has also said a number of other things. listen to some of that. >> he has positions that are not possible to believe that

they exist. he is going for things that no one has ever heard of, heavy into the transgender world, heavy into lots of different worlds having to do with safety. he does not want to have borders, he does not want to have walls, he does not want any form of safety for our country. >> j.d. vance also accusing walz of misrepresenting his time in the military, would you make first of vice president picking was pained, wonder, should governor walz come out and say, i misspoke, i did not say exactly the right thing or is what he said enough? >> you know, one of the things about the former congressman and governor now vp contender, is his background and experiences. when he first ran for congress, i was invited by him and his wife out to his congressional district, which i thought was interesting. i'm from south carolina, at the

time representing the minority and congressional districts, i asked him, why me? he said to me, your background and mine are so similar. yeah, that may be true but in this congressional district, this red district where only one other democrat that won in 100 years. i saw how he connected with people, i went to a little school that he taught at, the school where his wife was an english teacher. i saw in him a certain fundamental goodness that ought to exist in every american. tim is an absolutely great person that you want to be around as often and as long as you possibly can be. i don't know what trump is talking about. but i wish he would go to that congressional district, which, by the way, is a red district,

and talk to those people, talk to the students he taught. talk to those young people who are having troubles with their sexual identity and look for adult leadership, they went to tim, of all people. a coach, and he agreed to be their adviser so he could help them become good citizens. that is what being a good american is all about. and i wish that trump would learn a little bit of that and i think this country would be in a much better place today if he would practice a little bit of civility, a little bit of goodness, a little bit of what the american people really would like to see in their elected officials. >> yeah, i hear you, congressman. i want to follow up, do you think governor walz should say more about his military background, maybe say that he misspoke or do you think he

said enough? >> i think respond to the accusations and respond with the record. he has let out his record and you look at the statement, he made it clear he suffers a disability because he was in the artillery and what it did to his hearing and those kinds of weapons he was familiar with ought not be on the grounds. he did not say these are the weapons i carried into war. >> he did say that, congressman. >> he said the weapons of war that i carried or did i carry them into war? i don't know exactly what he said. if he did, kind of reversed, yes. he may have gotten it reversed and misspoke. everybody miss speaks every now and then. i wish this much reporting would be done on the lies trump

tells. he doesn't tell the truth about anything. and we just let it stand. i'm watching that speech he gave in montana or wherever he was the other day, people let it stand. there wasn't any truth to it at all. tim walz has a big record for everybody to look at and that is the one little misspeak you can come out of his record with, come on. i wish that all of us were that good with our speech . >> yeah, as you talk about former president donald trump and what he hasn't said, that is true. i was in the room when he claimed, wrongly and falsely, that vice president harris was turning black, those are his words, we know she identified as a black woman and indian woman her entire life. given she's the first woman and first woman of color at the top of the major parties to, how big of a role do you think race

and racism, some will say, will play in this election? >> i think we are all kidding ourselves to either not admit to the fact that the fundamental in the country, getting ready to celebrate 250th anniversary in two years. we all know the majority of the 250 years, we were a slave nation. we have been working our way out of that, trying to find perfection. so much of what took place on january 6th goes back to 1876 election, which was the first real, contested election we had after the emancipation proclamation. race is a base of what so much this country is all about. it is not that we don't make mistakes, in fact, about this great country, our greatness is not that we are more enlightened than any other nation but

because we have always been able to repair our faults. that was what abraham lincoln was doing, repairing a fault. that was what the supreme court was in with brown versus board of education. that was what congress was doing in 1964 and 1965, 1968, repairing the faults. those are the things you do on the way to achieve a more perfect union. that is what we ought to be about, continue that pursuit of a more perfect union. i would say to the other side, join us in that pursuit rather than trying to turn the clock back, as was done before. that is not where we are going. she is right, we are not going back. we are leaning forward in every way that we possibly can. >> yeah, a lot of those crowds, i saw a lot of crowds, people chanting, it will not go back, t-shirts. i want to ask you

about the debate, it seems like we will get one debate, the abc news hosted debate on september 10th. after the fallout from president biden's last debate performance, what advice would you give vice president harris as she faces off against trump? >> i would say, be yourself, answer the questions, don't let these miss speaks or whatever you call them, outcry lies, challenge him every possible way you can. i was college debate, i talked with this lady a lot, we have discussed issues, let me tell you something, he is in for an experience. if i've ever seen anybody who knew how to deflect and evade, it is kamala harris. she knows how to do that. i would ask anybody who may question that, go back to some of those hearings she had when she was sitting in the united states senate. ask for a senators about that,

as a couple supreme court justices, the former attorney general, ask him what it was like to get questions from her. i would hope whatever it is, the format, it would allow for them to question each other at some point during the discussion. i think the american people will be in for one, good, educational experience. >> yeah. you know the president better than most, how is he doing? is he sad, public battles between him and nancy pelosi? we heard a lot this week. >> you know, i have not talked to him this week. the last time i talked with him, he was very upbeat. take a look at this, this man served eight years as vice president to the first african american president in these united states of america. this man, when he got the nomination, he selected the

first woman to run on the ticket with him. and he just handed it off to that woman and endorsed her to succeed him as president. his place in history will be so cemented, there won't be another person before and it will be a long time after that will match his place in history. i think that joe biden knows that and i think you will enjoy that. he will speak at the convention on the first night on that monday, i think it going off on vacation, he will watch us select his successor and i think he is going to enjoy it with real pleasure. >> thank you so much for joining us on this saturday, jim clyburn. >> thank you very much for having me. have new information about the deadly plane crash in brazil. we will be back in 90 seconds. se

to show is very graphic. what is the latest on the investigation? >> reporter: you mentioned the black boxes, it is the flight data and cockpit information we are looking to hear authorities talk about if they have been able to glean anything from the black boxes. the key being, are they intact, are they able to glean anything from it or were they damaged? those things would come next in the sequence of events as we are awaiting details from authorities on the ground. this is important for several reasons, naturally of course, everybody wants answers to why this horrifying moment happened to begin with. this is not normal, not natural . in terms of what we heard from authorities, they are not ruling anything out at the moment. they said that the plane underwent routine maintenance the night before, it passed technically speaking. nothing stood out to them, they say there was no emergency signal sent out from the pilots. of course, everything from the

black boxes could be key in terms of what was happening inside of the plane. so much still not answered. one thing they are evaluating as part of the larger investigation is the icy conditions at the altitude was flying, 17,000 feet. they are not ruling anything out. part of the process, the grim process, trying to identify the bodies. the authorities, the airlines updated a number of deaths from 61 to 62. their time to go through the process of identification before they start removing the wreckage. you can see from the videos, this landed in a neighborhood just outside or nearby sao paulo. homeowners were describing the pieces of debris, the wreckage happening right outside of their homes. thankfully, no one on the ground, none of those neighbors or homeowners were injured there is of course the technical aspect, the investigation part of this and the emotional aspect. we are talking about 62 lives,

52 passengers, four crew members who were lost in this. they are looking for closure in all of this. we know that brazil's president declared three days of mourning as tribute to all of the family members grieving their lost loved ones. >> such a heartbreaking story, that number has been updated from six he went to 62. make sure everyone is accounted for, thank you so much for that reporting. more breaking news in the u.s. were parts of the east coast are assessing the damage caused by the remnants of hurricane debby. this is the scene in north carolina, east of raleigh, major roadways remain underwater. in pennsylvania, the storm not only led to catastrophic flooding, it also caused a tornado that tore the roof off of a church. george solis joins me from pennsylvania. debby finally moved out of the u.s. but what is the situation? >> reporter: the cleanup is the story right now, we are at a campground that flooded here, you can see, to give you a

sense of what look like, paddleboat stuck along the guardrail, you can see tree debris by the creek. this area flooded, people here had to be rescued, 14 adults, five children. fortunately, no one was hurt, that is the major headlines in all of this. despite the relentless rain and flooding we saw, yes, the national weather service confirming a tornado to touch down near this harrisburg area. it demolished a church roof that we showed you. it also wreaked havoc on manufacture not far from that church's location. it devastated that building, pushing in some of the walls and bending the steel. like there were toothpicks. frankly, one of the more dramatic images you have seen. there was another twister that developed in the delaware area. debby leaving the area but making its impact known before dissipating. yamiche.

now in this moment to support the democratic ticket? >> sanity. when you see the hyperbolic on the clip that trump, what you're seeing today is completely different than what you expected as far as how you believe and how you want the country to move forward in the future. i think a lot of republicans are looking at what is happening with his trump and his choice of vance, maybe the future is not specific type of republican politics, not really about conservatism, cult of personality where people are following an individual that has problems with lies, he is a trend, felon, i don't think republicans can do that, sanity is the baseline. you look at sanity, fact-based insights, truth right now, kamala harris and tim walz are a much better future than donald trump and j.d. vance.

>> very interesting to hear you boil this down to one word, sanity. president biden made protecting democracies and dark warnings like january 6th, a central part of his campaign. vice president harris change the tone a bit and the talking about joy, democracy and freedoms, what do you make of this approach by vice president harris and governor walz? >> the future is better to talk about them the past. however, the past is a very good indicator of what could happen in the future and donald trump will not let it go. i think it is great to talk about joy, what you think the country can be, what you think this country can do but you have to be prepared for the worst. the worst is the same type of shenanigans, the same kind of conspiracy theories will surface in the next couple months they did right before november of 2020 and on three to january 6th. joy is great, policy is great, you have to be ready for conspiracy theories and the

fact is, this crap swinging the gop is doing with elections and local areas, keep your head on a swivel. it is great, joy and the future is fantastic, don't forget you are talking about and that is donald trump and the people around him, some of the worst cast of characters to spread that type of disinformation on january 6th that led to the violence that happened on that day. >> yeah, yeah. you talk about the republican party this week you held harris for present event outside your distillery in the foothills of the blue ridge mountains. as you try to drum up support for harris among fellow republicans and in some cases, independents, what is the hardest part of that effort? >> i think it is counting the fact they have been in the same ecosystems of information for a long time, my gosh, when we were there with mitch, 60 to 40 democrats to republicans and independents, shocking in good

way. giving them that permission structure, it is okay to vote outside of your tribe right now, they have gone back ship, they are nutty. to say to the republican party, we have to get this metastasized cancer out of the party, trying to give them that mission structure and by the way, democrats or independents, what other republicans call rhinos, give me a break if you think adam kinzinger or liz cheney or myself, you are calling these people rhinos, you have to see this is the party you thought you were supporting, lies are lies. you want to vote for felon or somebody that said awful things about women, held liable for rape, behind january 6, loves dictators. those are insane things. stop voting for crazy. look at the future, maybe the best way to save the republican party is to make sure you vote

for sanity and get rid of the virulent trumpism. >> you're making that case very clear how you are talking to other republicans. you were a former intelligence officer for the air force. i want to get your take on how military service is playing up in this presidential race as a veteran, what do you make of the trump campaign attacks on governor walz's military record and should governor walz say that he misspoke or are republicans unfairly criticizing ? >> yamiche, it is the same people. i talked about january 6th, look at the campaign manager for donald trump, chris lacivita, the same person who pushed the swiftboat strategies against john kerry. the same people, try to spread as much stuff as you can into the weakened immune system, traditional media or nontraditional and hope that it sticks. you have questionable sources, some people say no, he would try to get out first, try to question people service.

i think it is heinous, someone served 24 years, to most of the right thing, served hicountry honorably, he retired as senior nco, noncommissioned officer. i think it is ludicrous the same people that run this with out attacks are doing this again and not talking about the sourcing of that. let's talk about donald trump specifically and what he said about the military that served around him and what they think about donald trump. i think of general kelly, general mattis, talk about the insanity of a former president running again and what he said. i think it is a shame the media is putting any type of gravity behind this based on the fact you have the same people who rent other disinformation campaigns running the same one, it is about the source. i like to go back to that as a former intelligence officer.

>> thank you for joining us and making your stances very clear. >> thank you, i try to be blunt. >> you were, thank you. up next, we hear from kamala harris biographer who says at the presidential candidate has always been underestimated. ated

right now, vice president harris preparing to depart arizona for nevada where she will host her second swing state rally in 24 hours. let's bring the author of kamala's way, american life. you have researched and followed all of the vice president's campaign since she was running for office starting in 2010. what ways do you think she has changed her style when it comes to her campaigns? i wonder what you think about this, how have the other runs repaired her for this moment? >> first of all, she has always run as an underdog, when she ran for district attorney in 2003, she ran as a under dog when she ran for attorney general in 2010 and she won

both times. the harris who i have seen on television, up to today, the harris i have known. she is out there and seems like she is having fun, she is smiling a lot. she is really tough too. it is the harris who i recognize from her campaigns in california. >> you said that she has been underestimated in the past, do you think that is happening again? >> people who have underestimated her and up losing. i don't doubt former president donald trump has a strong campaign team around her, i doubt they are underestimating her. she is a formidable campaigner, she is charismatic, she comes into a room and lights it up, she has a big smile. and her policies are pretty interesting.

i'm hearing her go back to her roots, which is to be a prosecutor. when she ran for d.a. in san francisco, she ran for the incumbent, harris for law and order. she was a tough prosecutor. and certainly as attorney general, she was left of the fellow she beat, l.a. county district attorney but ultimately, she is traditional mainstream prosecutor, which means she puts people in jail for crimes they commit. >> yeah, former president donald trump has also gone after her racial identity. you have talked about her life and followed it, what you make of that given the background and choices that she made as a teenager? >> it is just silly.

when you think about it, her father came from jamaica, he writes, you can't really know, he writes that his paternal grandfather was descended from a guy that was a slaveholder, not just any slaveholder, this was a brutal guy, leader in the slavery effort in jamaica and fought to maintain and think about that, this is a woman a step away from the white house and his lineage going back to brutal slaveholder. >> yeah, definitely striking to hear him say that she is not black. thank you for joining us. it has been an honor to talk to you as someone following her. i can tell you're at the rally that she will be at today so thank you for being on.

>> thank you. 10 years later, when a change and what hasn't in the decade since michael brown jr. was killed by a police officer in ferguson, missouri. that is next. employees get the information they need instantly. this is how business goes further with t-mobile for business. missing out on the things you love because of asthma? get back to better breathing with fasenra, an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems or other eosinophilic conditions. allergic reactions may occur. don't stop your asthma treatments without talking with your doctor. tell your doctor if your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. step back out there with fasenra. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

question is a longtime ferguson activist and author of the upcoming book about the death of michael brown. thank you for being here. you were one of the purse people on the scene on august 9, 2014 after michael brown jr. was killed. what is it mean to you, 10 years later, after seeing firsthand the aftermath and the death and protest that followed? >> thanks for having me here. 10 years later, a reflection on reflection of sonya , george floyd, so many other names that have come out and risen up to national attention because of their untimely deaths. it is very overwhelming family 10 years later that we are still getting to know the names, the tragedy of how their lives were taken due to police violence. i'm still focused very much so on the positives,

there have been some coming out of the movement and reflecting. >> reporter: at the heart of this is a family that lost their son. you think about, when we are on the ground together, i met you when we were in the streets, i was reporting it, you were protesting, what did you hope will change after michael brown's death and what really has changed since then, in your mind? >> 10 years ago, i was 25, so much i was learning about how intricate everything was, how connected everything was. even at 25, i was active voter, on the ground 10 years ago, i learned how important local elections actually are. seeing how most of the people in power at the time when michael brown was killed by wilson, i voted for those people.

it was a contradiction in real time to see how voting affecting our communities, affecting members of society and still trying to process something like the police in the city of ferguson. that is what we focused on 10 years ago, 10 years later, we have more questions than answers. but i think we are making our ways, hard work in the city. >> you recently secured $50,000 donation from kellogg foundation for mike brown sr.'s organization, tell me about the signification -- significance of that. >> it is very exciting, one of the people i was able to interview for my upcoming book

is mike sr. and his lovely wife to during our time together, they asked me to collaborate on their organization, children for change, before the 10 year anniversary, which was yesterday. reconnecting made the most sense as far as fundraising was concerned. we were able to secure a sizable donation from the kellogg foundation. such a significant investment in the work being done because transforming families and communities with specific service on grieving fathers. i think it is such a niche cause. it is truly an amazing effort. >> what goes in your mind when you think about the work you're still doing without donation

and the things that can happen? we are still seeing people killed by the police, a lot of times officers are not being charged. some officer should not be charged. i wonder what goes through your mind when you think about accountability and justice with all of the people still getting killed by police? >> lately, i'm keenly aware of how much local elections matter. cori bush losing her seat in congress in missouri. on the national scale, i'm wondering what happened to george floyd, justice and policing or large-scale criminal justice reforms in general, and very aware. i do believe there should be some sort of federal oversight. i'm very interested to see where we go with that work. >> yeah. definitely an honor to talk to you, 10 years ago, we have kept in touch since then so it has

been an honor to talk to you about this. thank you so much, netta. >> thanks for having me. next up, team usa chasing gold and catching it in paris. for a total value of twelve hundred and fifty dollars. only on verizon.

getting older is part of the journey, even with worsening heart failure. so when i had carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back pain, and shortness of breath, i thought that's what getting older felt like. thank goodness... ...i called my cardiologist. i have attr-cm, a rare but serious disease... ...and getting diagnosed early... ...made a difference. if you have any of these

warning signs, don't wait, ask your cardiologist about attr-cm today. (♪♪)

breaking news from paris where the world at least have one day to go for gold. the u.s. got three more gold in check in including the women's 100 meter hurdles, putting the u.s. at the top of the charge for overall medals and two gold medals behind china. stephanie gosk is in paris you are at the u.s. men's basketball game against host country, france. we are hoping the u.s. pulls out a win. how is the game going? >> reporter: it is loud here, the lead keeps going back and forth. france is the underdog in this game, don't tell the french
