children who she homeschooled. she didn't have them in the district, so i feel like there is something wrong with that. if you are restricting books that are in a school district where your kids aren't even in the school. >> it's really an important perspective because we see outside national groups also targeting communities. it's very interesting to hear about the affect and this film. make sure to watch, everyone is watching right now, it is called to be destroyed, tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern ray here on msnbc. that will do it for me on this edition of alex witt reports. i am yamiche alcindor. thank you so much for watching. alex will be back next saturday and sunday at 1:00 p.m. eastern, we can't wait. and up next, msnbc prime: weekend.

>> welcome to prime time weekend. i'm nicolle wallace. let's get right to the week's top stories. we talk a lot around split screens around here and the earth one, earth to of it all, but this might be the ultimate political sprint screen -- split screen. barnstorming through battleground states like a heatseeking missile, while the other has been mostly out of sight this week. hanging out, at mar-a-lago. one side is offering joyous, warrior vibes, while the other is offering whatever they call donald trump's rambling, apocalyptic, life filled, divorce from reality. to say nothing of the growing enthusiasm gap. tonight's rally in arizona a week of rockstar receptions to

the democratic ticket. every battleground state they have stepped foot in from pennsylvania to wisconsin to michigan. harris and walz have committed crowds that donald trump makes clear he dreams of. people standing in line for hours, walking miles to get to their rallies, crowds so enormous they spilled out across airplane hangars. there is a different reception on the ground to tell you about. today in arizona, the local papers are waxing poetic -- poetic about the kamala harris and tim walz ticket. is one of those headlines. quote, there's never been selling like this. that's referring to tonight's rally outside of phoenix. the energy level is just out of this world. meanwhile, in montana, the local press their reporting out stories of how trump still has not paid his bills from the last time he came to town. or consider that kamala harris is racking up endorsements from lifelong republicans. people like the first female mayor of scottsdale, arizona, who did scribed -- described

this as a sea change in attitude in arizona. people are just joyous. people are so confident of the job of vice president harris can do, that there is room for joy. there it is again. the j word, joy. there's also a historic political endorsement today from the nation's oldest and largest latino civil rights group, the league of united latin american citizens, which endorse kamala harris and tim walz. it's the first time in the organization 95 year history that it has made a presidential endorsement. in a press release, they cited the urgent need to put a stop to this, quote, the politics of hatemongering and scapegoating latinos and immigrants. and trump? he seems to be experiencing whatever the opposite of momentum is. struggling now with even some of the firmest corners of the maga movement.

like joe rogan. as well as right wing pundits, nick fuentes and laura loomer. this split screen is not-so- subtle today. a competent political strategy of being executed, versus -- mar-a-lago culminating in some loyalists turning on the candidate. maybe it could be boiled down to the politics of joy versus the politics of retribution. the new york times says harris is positioning herself as a smiling trooper who is asking voters to choose between the future in the past. we are not going back, she tells her large crowds, and they respond with a raucous chance -- chance. the backbone of miss harris' campaign. we will be joined by ben o'rourke in just a few moments, but we start with michael steele, now the cohost of msnbc's the weekend, also the reverend al sharpton is with us, host of politicsnation .

the president of the national action network. msnbc columnist and shooter charlie sykes is back, and democratic -- all your friends. -- i think i worked on his campaign to try and work on these things. movement in the polls, crowds, it cannot be manufactured. it can be executed and we should say that this campaign is executing at every level, but this kind of enthusiasm is phenomenon level. your thoughts? >> it is. you organically can't make people like you. you just can't. sorry. you can have all the bells and whistles, you can open airplane hangar, but that doesn't mean people will show up. and it certainly won't show up to the extent that we have seen with kamala harris having, you know, open up hangar two, folks. so yeah. it's real and i think it's something, you touched on this

earlier in the week and you emphasized the beginning in the lead in and that is the j word, joy. that is something that is so coming out of the gut that people just feel this sense of relief, that there is release here. i don't have to live in a dystopian world that's been created by donald trump where the only thing you are telling me is you want to be my dictator and oh, you going to exact retribution on people you don't like. meanwhile, leading on the table all these other issues that are important to me and therefore, i have to wait until you get done with your retribution to address the cost of goods and services, my ability to grow my business, how i'm going to educate the kids in an environment where education may be tricky. you've got crt that you tell them is bad but i don't think that's a problem because my kid doesn't -- in that grade.

all these things and all that pressure. kamala harris has found a way to pick and pen and stick a pen in that and break that pressure valve open for folks and you are seeing it. folks coming out. they are smiling. they are happy. they are anticipatory and that, nicole, there's not a campaign on the planet that can manufacture that. people feel it, they won't give it. and they give it freely when they do because you are the candidate that brings that out of them. i think that something that come allah has been able to do -- kamala has been able to do. the more they level bogus charges against her bp choice. the more these people fall back on joy. i like this feeling more than the crappy year before. >> you know, ralph, there is a thing that women are feeling and that is the politics of

being underestimated. vice president harris has been criticized for laughing and it seems that she is, pun intended, having the last laugh. adopting joy as a political shield has allowed ms. harris and mr. walz to throw some bareknuckled punches at j.d. vance. the crowd eats it up. there is no mistaking the sharpness and the specificity of their attacks and they do not slide over to his supporters, something that i think people have grappled with for nine years. they are surgical strikes against mr. trump and mr. vance. >> very surgical, very strategic, and i think that

what is most impressive to me is they refused to fight his flight plan. trump is used to setting the pace, setting the tenor of any political battle and people react to him. what vice president harris has done and governor walz has done is they set their own pace, their own tempo and they are not -- he will come on and attack. they will just kind of deflated. keep going with a positive agenda and saying at the same time we are not going back to the days of segregation, before -- desertion voter rights and as long as you don't fight another person's fight, they become off-balance and don't know what to do. trump has spent the last two weeks trying to get his

policies on how to even fight this political battle because he trained for one person. he ends up with a total different person and he can't intimidate them. everything he uses is not working. it's like training to fight joe frazier. now, what you do. >> and sort of piling compliments on top of compliments, aisha, the point is that it's working. let me show you how the cook political report -- the nonpartisan cook political over -- three key swing states. arizona, nevada, and georgia. from leading republican to toss ups. in its latest analysis. this is the piece that i think makes it news. that the politics of joy are working and i think it gets -- relief. it gets curving underestimated. but it also gets at the

salience and the vastness of not just the democratic party and the democratic ticket, but how many other people want to, you know, find a place inside the pro-democracy coalition >> absolutely. and look, to quote jay-z, men lie, women lie, and numbers don't and that's what we are seeing in the polls going up, the cash that's being raised in the cash on hand and obviously, the turnout at these rallies and all the enthusiasm that we see around the country, which is in fact, unprecedented, but we have to remember, as well, that the last, i would say decade, really, even going back to 2008 to now, we have seen a significant enthusiasm on the democratic side around the democratic process generally and have had massive turnout, whether it was obama, literally the day before the inauguration of donald trump, we saw the largest global gathering and movement and march ever,

washington, d.c. was flooded. people were participating. you have now, gen z, whole new group of voters that are online and are going to cast their ballots that are arguably one of the most engaged and active young generations that we have seen in probably 40, 50 years. they grew up in the wake of gun violence, they grew up in this crazy radicalization of the era and they also grew up in a way that they get that their vote matters. it matters that they get out in the streets and they demonstrate the protesting against police brutality. they are grieving around black bodies in the streets. you have not only more people, you see the numbers happening, but you also have folks who are really pro-democracy want to be involved, who have been itching for something to come out and

be excited about and not just to be mad and angry and protest, which is what we did with the women's march, but to be celebratory and joyful and to come out and say, you know, my presence here matters, i know that my vote is going to count, and i see a new day that is bright, that is full of sunshine, and i am going to bring that forth. so, yeah, it's exciting to remember in this moment, as much is donald trump and magda want you to believe that everything is gloomy, the majority of the people are positive and enthusiastic and participatory and that is what we see playing out right now and i think that that is why kamal is ultimately going to win because you cannot bottle up that energy and put it back. you can't push that back. that's why we are not going back. >> let me bring into former democratic -- bennett o'rourke. we have spoken about so many of these -- i wonder what your take is. campaign through the trump era and then face to face with so

many voters and constituents. what do you think is happening on the ground? >> whatever it is, it makes me so happy. i am not felt like this in a really long time and if i'm anything like millions of other democrats and probably millions of independent and probably millions of her pumpkin voters across the country, we just didn't know how badly we needed this right now. you can focus group things, you can test certain messaging, you can look at the metrics and dollars raised for crowd attendance, but something that transcends all of that is the subject of your program today, which is the joy that i see in harris and walz campaign. and as many as said before me on this show, they are no longer playing defense, there's

not that sense of fear or even doom about all these terrible things that donald trump is going to do this country and he will do these terrible things to the country if he is elected, but it is almost as if we swept that aside to fiercely focus on the future. a really beautiful future for this country, and ambitious future for this country, instead of -- hope and grievance, there is aspiration and that is really america at its best and i just can't tell you how proud i am of vice president harris and governor walz for finding this moment and getting kind of past the stuff that gets cooked up in political laboratories over the corporate side of the politics and just finding what is fundamental to democracy, just people being with people, finding connection and joy and that i think, more than anything else, is going to power their victory in november. >> you know, obviously, i track some of my former colleagues. it feels like another time when there was a republican party that had -- rotted from the

inside. and some of the arguments from david french and charlie sykes, was also on this panel, and from adam kinsinger are the most aggressively pro-harris arguments that are out there and i wonder how much of that you chalked up to how brazenly autocratic negative trump is and how right this was for leadership for someone like kamala harris and her running mate, tim walz. >> i think it has a lot to do with trump, for sure, but i also think it has a lot to do with the democratic ticket and it's not used -- news to anyone that there was a lot of uncertainty about this ticket, even as recently as a month ago and about the prospects of president biden winning re- election. despite the extraordinary record he was able to put together in 3 1/2 years, arguably the most effective president of my lifetime. the last 51 years on this planet. i think there's some open questions about vice president

harris to be honest, but i think she's answers those. the balance in her step, the smile on her face, the confidence with which she moves right now, the command and control that she has on the issues on the people that she's engaging with, on her ability to work with the press and really dismiss the bizarre behavior of donald trump is really something i also think it's meaningful that as you pointed out in the opening, that trump is in montana of all places right now. is that because they feel like they have to play defense in a place that should have been reliably read? i don't know, but i can tell you that in texas, which barack obama lost by 16 points in 2012, lori clinton lost by nine points in 2016, and joe biden

only lost by 5.4% in 2020. this is really the sleeper battleground state. the last time i saw reverend al sharpton before the show today was at the celebration of life services for sheila jackson lee the one of the most extraordinary champions, human rights, civil rights, and voting rights in this country and at the end of reverend sharpton's speech, that entire congregation and the sanctuary was on their feet, rising to the equation, both in memory of sheila jackson lee, and everything she's done to bring us to this moment, but also in the recognition that we are in the precipice of something absolutely amazing. just think about 40 electoral college votes in texas. if at a minimum, we can get trump to play defense here because of the changing dynamic, it's going to open up other possibilities and other states, and some days sooner than later, maybe it's 2024, we win texas. >> i'm not a skeptic. of the inevitability because i think what you are seeing at

the national level is that there is a ceiling to the politics of hate and division and i like that kamala harris describes herself as the underdog. i think that's the right way to run any race, but especially this one. but i am excited to see governor walz at some high school football games in this -- tell me about tim walz you know. >> i got to know this guy serving on the house veterans affair community. as you know, 24 years in the army national guard, rose the rank of command sergeant major, the highest rank, listed officer in the history of the united states congress, 240 years. just a genuine -- is a wonderful human being. you know, reverend sharpton knows this. your other painless know this, you know, most politicians, most members of congress, they will storm into that committee room and give a speech for five minutes and then make sure it pops on social media and then they will leave the room. tim walz was the first guy there, shaking the hands of every veteran, every service organization him come in the room.

he was the last guy leave. he will bring republicans and democrats alike -- for example, open up more mental health care access at a time that veterans were taking their lives at an alarming rate. and who sign the legislation, it was none other than donald trump. this guy can work with anyone, anytime, anywhere, and to meet him is to like him. it gets back to this idea of joy in the campaign. could he have -- she have picked a better contrast j.d. vance who i think, in opposite to tim walz, to know that guy is to really detest that guy and at a minimum, to wonder what that guy really believes in and is for, having previously referenced donald trump as america's hitler, is saying this man is the first -- worst thing to happen to american politics, and to change his stripes so blatantly in service of his own personal ambition.

that's not something that's going to rally voters or help the trump ticket. we are really lucky to have governor walz, in addition to all his likable characteristics, has really done some amazing things in minnesota, like making sure that hungry kids can eat, like putting $1 billion into affordable housing, one of the most significant challenges that we have as a country right now and making sure that he uses political capital to help people who desperately need it. that's what this country wants, deserves, needs, and will get when harris-walz win in november. >> i hope you will come back, beto o'rourke, we miss talking to you and it's great to have you. and obviously, you know and feel a lot of what these two are doing all across the country. thank you for making time for us today. >> anytime. thank you. >> thank you. >> the panel sticks around. will get back to charlie sykes as soon as we get back from break. break. the chase mobile app.

and determination is how kamala harris -- >> went from working at mcdonald's to prosecutor. >> state attorney general. >> u.s. senator, and our vice president. in only one generation. and with that same determination, >> she always defended us. >> as a prosecutor, she protected us from violent criminals. >> as attorney general. >> she beat the banks that kick families out of their homes. >> as our vice president. >> she fights for women's reproductive rights every day. >> and should be the pharmaceutical companies to lower the price for insulin and prescriptions. >> she will stop the corporations who gouge families on rent and groceries. >> and she won't stop fighting until we win. >> she knows. >> with determination. >> when we fight, we win

>> i'm kamala harris and i approve this message. >> we are back. we are all back. charlie sykes, what's amazing to me is that kamala harris has stolen the brand of the fighter from the guy who, if he could, would bathe in the sweat from all those wrestling things he likes to go to and she has done it without resorting to identity politics. without resorting to cheap attacks, but by doing that, telling her story in this sort of vein of i think when we fight, we win. >> it's an effective ad. i want to go back to this discussion about joy and reframe it just slightly because it has, i think, a surprising, i think a surprising setting. you get the sense that people are kind of taking a bat by what's happening. it's not just joy. when you break it down, what she is offering is optimism, hope, and

i think this is the most surprising thing of all is an incumbent vice president. they have not become the ticket of change. they have become the ticket of turning the page. now think about that. hope was the slogan that barack obama used in 2008. and it swept aside, you know, the republicans back then. in 1980, ronald reagan was a change agent, but was also known for his sunny optimism. but i think this is the thing that's really kind of -- i've been trying to sort it out because normally, an incumbent vice president is saddled with all of the baggage of the incumbent party and of course, she's going to, she still has to carry all of that, but right now, when the voters go to the polls in november, they are going to be more determined to turn the page. do we want to look ahead? that would be not four more years of donald trump. the contrast that they have created with tim walz to j.d.

vance is not just ideological, is the fact that tim walz is likable. he's normal. he's an everyday guy, as opposed to this weird homunculus , this. , bearded homunculus that donald trump is chosen for reasons that are not completely clear anymore. it's not just joy. it's the fact that they are tapping into all of the themes that i think have been markers for some significantly historic successful campaigns. will become back, how governor tim walz turned his record of military service into a congressional record of helping america's veterans. that story is next. next.

the uniform of this nation. and that service, just as it did for my dad, a korean war veteran and millions of others, i got the g.i. bill and i got a shot at education. >> it's such a key pillar of his life story, as he tells it, and of his personal and political identity, as well. tim walz, among many other distinctions, is a veteran. you heard this story, promoted again and again, up to the rank in the highest honors for enlisted men and women in the military. he retired a master sergeant and the recipient of the army commendation medal for meritorious service and two achievement medals, according to the new york times. then it's off to congress were walz roast to ranking -- a

mountain of legislation designed to help veterans, that included bills on suicide prevention and expansion of the g.i. bill. it's a resume to be proud of. allies of donald trump are actually attacking the minnesota governor's record. this was j.d. vance today. >> i wonder if tim walz, when were you ever in war? when was this, what was this weapon that you carried into war, given that you abandon your unit right before they went to iraq and he has not spent a day in a combat zone, what bothers me about tim walz is the stolen valor garbage. do not pretend to be something that you are not. if you want to criticize me for getting an ivy league education, i am proud of the fact that my may mama was able to support me. i would be ashamed if i said i lied about my military service like he did. >> joining our conversation is the independent americans podcast founder -- paul is here. also joining us, retired u.s.

marine corps lieutenant, founder of democratic majority action pack, amy mcgrath is here. let me show you what he had to say about that attack line from j.d. vance. >> i think j.d. vance that you don't get to sergeant major just because. you get to sergeant major because you serve this country. you get to sergeant major because you are willing to put on the uniform, put the flag of this country on your shoulder. if j.d. vance is going to go after tim walz i would suggest his own military experience, do not start with trying to attack the fact that someone raised her hand to serve this country. >> your thoughts and reactions to all of this. >> as usual, westmore is right. he's a northstar for our country and i'm honored to call him a friend but i'm also honored to call tim walz a friend. i've known him for almost 20 years and he is a person of integrity comic character, honor, is one of the most

honorable hard-working politicians i've ever met and i like him so much it's hard for me to believe sometimes he's a politician. we work together -- on the house veterans affair committee. his time in the national guard is very important. 24 years, as a sergeant major, he served his community and his country. he's trained, he understands what it's like to wear the uniform, but in many ways, what he did in congress was even more important. that was really transformative. he was there every single time we need him for over a decade. republicans will tell you this, too. anyone who's worked on the knows that he delivered for veterans on mental health, on the clay hunt suicide prevention act. he was the lead sponsor. time and time again, tim walz was there and then i call him a lovable bulldog.

that's what he is. he loved tim walz, but you also respect him because nobody works harder and i think you are going to hear a lot more that the next couple of years. especially former republicans who know that when the road meets the road for veterans especially, tim walz has been there. >> amy, it is so rare and cool to hear paul so excited about somebody that we've covered on this program. usually, it's -- usually it's a darker, bleaker topic. but i wonder your reaction and i wonder what you think of this strategy. j.d. vance is a sort of out of the gate message today is to attack tim walz's service? >> it's actually very bizarre, the whole thing. so go back to your question about the strategy. this ticket of vance-trump or trump-vance is the most unpatriotic ticket in american history. just lack we, they were praising and congratulation vladimir putin for the prisoner exchange. they are still talking about pulling out of nato. this is something that veterans fought to build and protect for years. we have russia endorsing the

trump-vance ticket. they are doing the work of our adversaries and this last example of him attacking governor walz this way is just another example of trump attacking veterans. he's done it before. he calls us suckers and losers, and now, unfortunately, he has another veteran to be able to go after one of his own. and it is really a nasty, dishonest way and to me, is just outrageous to say that somebody who served for 24 years , wanted to get out so that he couldn't go to combat i mean seriously. everybody that serves, paul knows this. you'll get a choice of where you get deployed. you know? he served honorably for 24 years at a really hard job, as a field artillery, and make no mistake, i mean j.d. vance, he was at a desk job in

iraq. in air-conditioned tents. so let's not pretend here. this is ridiculous. >> amy, what do you think the response and reaction will be among veterans. >> i think veterans in general don't really like to see when other veterans attack each other. we all know what it's like to serve. we all know that you don't get a choice of where you go and we all believe that every job, you know, within the service, it's important. so i don't understand why you would attack and go after 70, especially when he rose to command of the sergeant major. paul was exactly right. that is no small feat. ask any veteran what the difference between a corporal, which is what j.d. vance was, and a command sergeant major. there's a big difference there. frankly, i don't understand it, but again, it's what he does. >> paul, you were adamant about

-- that a veteran would bring to the harris ticket. vice president harris saw it the same way. i wonder if you could just speak about why that was ahead of this so important to you and how you think she should deployed governor walz the next 90 days. politically. >> i actually spoke to tim walz a couple of weeks ago and i wasn't sure if he was actually in the running and i am excited as an independent to see that he was because i was hoping the democrats wouldn't this up and pick someone without national security experience. they only had a couple of options. you could go with mark kelly, you could go with pete buttigieg, or they could go with tim walz. tim walz is exciting for a lot of reasons, but i think most of all because he actually sounds like an independent. he sounds like someone who is a maverick. he understands how to talk to people.

he is a coach, he's a teacher, he's a dad, and he feels like a normal person but he's a bit more than normal because he works so hard. he's so smart, he's such an effective communicator and i think that's what kamala harris saw. she saw someone who can get her ground in states. sing got people in swing states. half of veterans are independent. i think there's going to be a war between the warriors, which frankly, makes me sad. i don't like seeing j.d. vance and tim walz fighting on any level. i hope maybe they can do a cease-fire here and see let's set the right tone because an important piece here, nicole, is this is not going to be the first time we have veterans run against each other. you'll probably see someone like westmore, maybe amy mcgrath, maybe from no party at all. -- a respectful tone, like we saw along the -- in a bipartisan way. feel like they've arrived before they've left the ground. this is how business goes further with t-mobile for business.

>> good evening georgia. >> the path to the white house runs right through this state. >> we are joyful warriors. joyful warriors. we believe in freedom! do we believe in opportunity? do we believe in the promise of america? and are we ready to fight for it ? >> let's bring in long time childhood friend of vice president kamala harris, authors of friends from the beginning, the berkeley village that raised kamala and me. stacy johnson batiste. thank you so much for being here. >> thank you for having me, nicole. >> what is this like for you? to watch her -- she's obviously

been successful, but this is a political phenomenon in the world is watching. >> absolutely. i mean it is in one sense, it's a real, but on another, i mean, it feels like divine intervention in a way. it feels like it's more than a movement, i mean, it just seems like her entire career path, her life journey has led her to this point and you know, she's always been a very, very special person. she's always had a magnanimous personality and just the kind of person that you just feel good and really happy to be around and, you know, hearing you say joy, bringing joy back. that must be one of the chapters in my book. you know, she is one that is uniting people. she's connected, she's always been that way.

it's just beautiful. >> she is also doing it with real clear eyes. one of the lines in her giant speech was we are the underdogs. she seems to sort of match this soaring language of our desperation, about our politics, with real political reality and she's got, i think, she's got 89 days and it's about the work and understanding her work. just talk about, i mean we all see it, her political talents. but talk about maybe what people are underestimating in her political acumen. >> you use the word underdog and ever since we were little girls, she's always had a fighting spirit. the kind of person who will stand up for the underdog and

will take on bullies. she's been that way her entire life and throughout her entire career -- i just think there's so much hope now and people are excited about politics. she has always connected very well with children and the use so it's so encouraging seeing people, particularly our youth, wanting to participate and having that enthusiasm about politics again. >> one of the things that burst into the public view was at her very first campaign event. she went to the wilmington campaign headquarters. and president joe biden called in, he was, he still had covid and it's clear that her loyalty to him and her bond with him, he told her, he said i'm watching you kid, i love you.

she said i love you. i don't know that we had seen, i think it was clear that they are close. it's clear that she was the best surrogate after the debate and up to the moment when president biden decided to step off the top of the ticket. just talking about her relationship with president joe biden. >> yes. one of the things that i admire most about kamala is she's always been a steadfast loyal friend, loyal partner, loyalty may. that was a true testament to her character and you know, she is the kind of person who feels very deeply. she's a very compassionate person. she's a very thoughtful person in a very considerate person and when she says that she loves joe biden, she means it from her heart and we love her. this is more than a job or a an

appointment. she believes wholeheartedly in working hard for the people. she has always been kamala working hard for the people. that is who she is. that's her passion and her purpose and she brings her whole, you know, total self image. her humanity >> it's so great to get to talk to you and to sort of see what people are responding to i think politics of this giant x- ray and it's what the voters are saying. it's so great to have you here, stacey johnson-batiste. thank you for spending time with us today. >> thank you so much. thank you for having me. >> this has been prime time weekend. i'm nicolle wallace. please tune into deadline white house and all of our prime time shows, weekdays on msnbc.
