welcome back to "the weekend." we're going get to all the big domestic headlines in just a moment. but first, we begin this hour with the breaking news out of the middle east. the israeli military saying it struck hezbollah launchers in what it is calling a preemptive strike into several areas in southern lebanon overnight. hezbollah retaliated launching at least 320 rockets and here with more is nbc news foreign correspondent matt bradley live for us in tel-aviv. bring us up to speed. >> reporter: i mean, we are still trying to see what else is going to happen and i mean we have not heard from him. he's expected to address hisfollowers within the next several hours and that will tell us of what hezbollah intends to do next. whether or not this is it. they have said this was their attack and that it was successful. and they came out and directly denied and said that israeli -- the israelis were lying when they said they had launched a

preemptive attack. they said that they were the ones who launched this attack and that it was retaliation for the assassination of shakur a hezbollah commander who was killed last month in beirut. the israelis took credit. but you know, the israelis have also indicated in a phone call that i had with a senior israeli official today that they believe that this is over. that they don't think that there's going to be any more attempts by the israelis to further punish hezbollah. both sides are kind of stepping back from the brink of a full on region wide war. that was the nightmare and main fear that everybody here was so worried about. that's why the united states navy posted two aircraft carrier strike groups in the region including a missile laden submarine, you know, they were preparing for the worst. they had upped their deterrence sort of to keep the iranians from attacking israel.

this might be the last word but as with all things in the middle east we have not heard who could happen next. but right now, it looks as though this entire region can kind of breathe a sigh of relief. >> nbc's matt bradley. thank you very much. we will again come back to you if any developments within this hour. let's shift back home now. folks, there are just 72 days until the first presidential election since donald trump attempted to subvert american democracy in 2020. trump has repeatedly shown his willingness to do it again potentially with more reinforcements and even republicans pointed that out at the democratic national convention. >> i realize trump was a direct threat to democracy. and his actions disqualified him from ever, ever, ever stepping foot into the oval office against. -- again. >> joining us now are matthew

dowd a senior political analyst and former strategist for the bush campaign and marcus childress for the january 6th committee former investigative counsel. matthew. it had to be surprising to you to see so many republicans. not just former republicans, but actual republicans, on a democrats' convention stage this week. >> yeah. it was -- it was very heartening to see that the basically crossing the aisle in order to preserve democracy. and preserve our constitution in this country. and i have to give -- we need to give credit to the folks. it takes a ton of courage for people like jeff duncan and adam kinzinger and others to do this because we all know how alienated they will be among fellow republicans who don't seem to have the courage to do this in this moment of it. and so i hope it sends a signalto other republicans who may be on the fence and wondering whether or not they should cross over and do the same. i know it will send a great signal to independent voters which is probably more important.

it basically tells independent voters listen, there is a candidate in this race who is going to -- going to achieve bipartisan things and protect our democracy in a bipartisan way. and so it took a lot of courage and i was very heartened to see it. it's great moment for them too this and i sure hope it sends a signal to others to do the same. >> marcus, one of the reasons we wanted to make sure you were on this morning was given your work on the 1/6 committee and the amount of time you spend thinking about how to they will the story -- tell this story to the american people. watch this video highlighting donald trump and january 6th. >> if i win i will be looking very, very strongly at that pardons. and i mean full pardons with an apology just to many an apology. >> they were peaceful people.

these were great people. the crowd was unbelievable. and i mentioned the word "love." the love, the love in the air, i have never seen anything like it. >> marcus, need not explain to you what they're trying to do there right? both to make sure that they set the record about what actually happened on january 6th. given the revisionist history that we have heard some republicans in dark corners of the internet. he wants to pardon people who took part in what happened on january 6th. is really with an eye toward the future. right? it's not just litigating what happened in the past. it is saying if he is elected to power, once again, he is continuing to pull that thread through. >> that's exactly right and i think that video was really effective at bringing americans back to the chaos. that we had to live through for four years particularly on january 6th of 2021. but i can tell you reviewing their surveillance video and reviewing the footage from the inquest and others back when we were doing the investigation it

always put a pit in my stomach because of how violent and angry the videos and surveillance truly was. they were trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power and they are trying to hurt political members. and then you think about the fact that trump is having, you know, a gala at mar-a-lago for the january 6th rioters celebrating the justice for all have had or song that's been put out. who are the individuals? who they are in that video. singing justice for all. william cressman a kansas city proud boy who was involved in the violence on the west side of the capitol. who then lodged that ax under a door in the capitol allowing people to go through the crypt into the capitol visitors' center. he basically allowed rioters to go from the senate side of the capitol to the house side. which is where we saw all those stark pictures of capitol police and secret service holding guns against the door and then ryan nichols who was involved in violence at the

tunnel right? these are the individuals who were in the video that former president trump is now -- praising with awards gala down at mar-a-lago. it's sickening and unserious as the vice president said but if we allow him to get back into power we will have serious consequences which is actually the more scary and should be more encouraging part of what the vice president said in her speech on thursday. >> it is -- a chill just went over my body as marcus was talking because it is sick. i -- and we're going to make -- we have been talking and we continue to talk about january 6th because it -- january 6th wasn't the end. it was just frankly in my opinion the beginning. and the threat did not end on january 6th because people at the capitol that day they got to go home? okay they went back home and the fbi then since been trying to literally identify and round people up to hold them accountable. but this says -- let me just play for what you benny thompson said at the dnc.

he makes the point better than i ever could.let's take a listen. >> he would rather subvert democracy than submit to it and now he's plotting again. his campaign from claims that elections won't end until the moment of inauguration. we will win or it was rigged. we win or else. this is donald trump's america. >> matthew, that is -- that is -- those are the stakes. that's what we're dealing with in this election. >> yeah. i mean, this -- and i'm glad you said this january 6th wasn't the end of the problem, it was actually the beginning of the problem. because it revealed so many things about where we are today as a country. and where donald trump is. and it's basically achieve power at all means and get it and keep it not -- interesting thing as bad as that is, not to

achieve something for the american public. but to either protect himself or to achieve things for his own personal benefit in the course of this. and that's what i think is -- reit tate yea what are cushion just said. the scary thing i mean we all thought 2016 was a very important election and then 2020 was an incredibly important election. i actually feel 2024 is one of the most pivotal moments that the 2024 election is one of the most pivotal moments for our constitutional democracy in our history for a variety of reasons. one, big one, we have the opportunity to elect for the first time in our american history a woman as president of the united states of america which would be historic but two if we don't defeat donald trump in this moment he's going to be emboldened to do more and more and worse and worse in the course of this and he told us that in exact words. he said what he wants to do and how he wants to do it and the course of this. so to me, the november election -- i have gone through hundreds

of elections in my 40, 45 years of working in politics and on behalf of many different candidate this is to me is the most crucial election in my lifetime. >> symone, we were sitting next to each other and i made a nod to a similar point. we rightfully talk about the historic nature of vice president kamala harris' vice presidency and now her candidacy for president. but that's all happening against the backdrop of an election that is going to be historic because we're going to decide if we want to continue to be a democracy, that is -- what makes this election so important. and it is how it will be written in the history books and i want to continue this conversation so matthew and marcus, please stake bus. we have a lot more to discuss. later speaking with michigan attorney general dana nessel who stood out at the democratic national convention. this is "the weekend" on msnbc.

never before had a president of the united states so brazenly assaulted the bedrock of our democracy, so lethally embraced political violence, so willfully betrayed his oath of office. let us not forget who assaulted democracy on january 6th. he did. >> she knows. she was there. matthew dowd and marcus childress, they are back with us. >> definitely there he tried to blame her, it's actually unconscionable. this -- donald trump is a -- his candidacy is absolutely a threat to the very fabric of our democracy. because of his disregard for norms and order and law. like that is why he is such a threat. like this is not hyperbole. the man is literally saying if

crowds are ai and why is this he doing that? to say this is not a free and fair election in case he loses and he is laying the groundwork to organize potentially something worse than what we saw on january 6th. it is -- it is quite sickenings. and then you juxtapose that the vice president who is saying, it is a privilege to be american and i will defend this country. like -- it is -- it is night and day. it's night and day. i just -- how are we even here? someone help me understand how we are here. i don't understand, marcus. >> so look, what we saw this week, when you compare with the vice president was saying with other democratic leaders were saying is two different visions of america compared to what we saw donald trump tweeting and one side with the vice president, you have a vision of -- as mr. thompson said, we settle our differences at the ballot box. get out and vote. it's a privilege to be your vice president and to be your future president. on the other side, you have sewing doubt and chaos into the future election. and the part that bothers me is

that it is just lacking all creativity. trump lacks all cleverness because he's done this forever. you go back to 2016 and the republican -- nomination. he says if i don't win the republican nomination it's rigged and then he throws out the kernel of i hope my supporters don't get violence. in july 2020, the mail in voting is going to cause rigging is going to cause cheating of the election. and now you fast forward to 2024. right? and august 2024, just like in 2020 when the polls are starting to tighten, he is starting to, you know, get behind in some polls and again he starts throwing out this rigging of the election and the cheating of the election. it's all the same. and it's the same playbook that he's always played but the problem is, this time, is that he has his party unified and it appears supporting him in the background and to matthew's point earlier that's what makes this even more important than it was in 2020. the idea of an election being cheated was kind of outlier

maybe and now it's the platform of the party which means we have to fight back legally as well as getting out the vote at the bottom box. >> let's go back to the good vibes from thursday and just replay the roll call one more time to live in that space. because both things can be true. there can be energy and there can be momentum from democrats and there can be donald trump and accolytes watching that momentum and that enthusiasm andsaying how are we going to stomp it out? what worries her most on election night. now is the time to get to know your local election board especially if you live in place where election denialism has taken hold where certification refusals may be coming. public awareness and vigilance can make a difference. no one should be surprised when certification refusals happen or when they are exploited to try to maximize chaos and upset. i'm sure you have watched what is happening in georgia. matthew dowd, where you have

election deniers helping pass this new legislation it's going to make it easier for local boards to conduct an inquiry into results without any proof that there was anything wrong with the results. it's not just the donald trump is rhetorically laying the groundwork to question election results, math you dowd, it's that you have legislators in some key states carrying his water and making sure that that is codifies into law. >> yeah. and i'm going to try to -- in the next minute try to bring us back into the joy of that convention. >> please. >> because i think for every path which we've discussed here, for every path into the darkness and every problem that we have. we have been presented with a number of solutions. and number of ways out of that darkness and you are going to -- about to interview dana nessel the attorney general of michigan, and elissa slotkin. michigan to me is the perfect microcosm of where -- what has happened in america in the last 20 or 30 years. it's the perfect microcosm of it. it's an -- it's a state that

voted for joe biden after voting for donald trump. it's a state people forget. it's a state that the democratic primary, not -- that jesse jackson won the democratic primary in 1988. 16 years after george wallace won the democratic primary in michigan and what did the state of michigan do after donald trump won? they elected the three top constitutional offices in michigan democratic women who then proceeded to make changes in the state to enshrine protections for -- reproductive choice. to put in place an independent redistricting commission to get out of gerrymandering and protect voter sights and that has let us out of the darkness so to me, you are about to interview, is the perfect microcosm of where we can go and how to get out of the darkness. >> marcus and matthew, thank you for joining us. next the democratic national convention made it clearer than ever abortion rights are going to be front and center on election day. we'll discuss in just a few

reproductive rights took center stage at the dem convention this week as we heard really heart-breaking stories from families punished by republican restrictions. here's amanda and josh a texas couple who were denied medical care under their state's abortion ban. >> my heart breaks for the baby girl we wanted desperately. for the doctors and nurses who couldn't help me deliver her safely. for josh, who feared he would lose me too. but i was lucky. i lived. so i'll continue sharing our story standing with women and families across the country. >> and then new exclusive interview with nbc's priscilla

thompson, amanda said this about the impact that she hopes sharing her story will have. >> also so important and very motivating and i like to say that this is really exhausting and it puts me to bed at night but it also is what gets me up in the morning because this is the fight that we have to fight in order to make change. >> joining us now is michigan attorney general dana nessel. general nessel, first of all, just -- can you just talk about how in michigan, you all have moved to protect the rights of people all over your state to be able to make their own decisions? and how perhaps what's happening in michigan could be a model for other states across the country. >> yeah. well, first of all, thanks for having me. in the wake of the 2022 dobbs decision, immediately our very draconian 1931 abortion ban with virtually no exceptions

went back into effect. and, you know, similarly to what kamala harris had done with prop 8, back in 2011, i said i will not enforce this abortion prohibition. meaning i won't prosecute women or their doctors for what had been a fundamental right for 50 years nor will i defend this law when plaintiffs bring a challenge to it. because, you know, we had -- well over 2 million women of reproductive age in our state. in our state. and i didn't run for office to jeopardize the health, safety and welfare of my constituents. so ultimately what happened was the -- you know, the law was challenged it was put on hold until we could bring a ballot initiative which was known as

reproductive freedom for all. and it passed in november of 2022 with resounding numbers and it didn't just protect abortion rights. but also the right to birth control. to manage a miscarriage. and also to fertility treatments. so -- now is -- you know, obviously something that was impressive and it allowed pool in michigan to feel safe about reproductive care. however, i think it's very important for people to note that at any time, a decision by the united states' supreme court or a federal ban that's put in place, were we to lose congress and the presidency, on abortion, would supersede everything that we have managed to accomplish in michigan and in similar states. >> well, on that point about a federal ban, senator j.d. vance is on "meet the press" with our colleague kristen welker. we have a piece of that

interview. take a listen. >> can you commit. senator sitting right with me today if you and donald trump are elected you will and not impose a federal ban on abortion? >> i can absolutely commit that. donald trump has been clear -- >> would you support it. >> if you are not supporting it as a president of the united states. >> you would veto a federal abortion ban. >> i think he would. he sid that explicitly shah he would. >> i don't agree that he has been as clear as possible and great chance this would get litigated out in a second trump term. i wonder if you take vance at his word and how you look at it as a law enforcement authority. >> well, first of all i think between donald trump and j.d. vance, you have two of the most opportunist individuals ever to enter public service. right? they will say or do anything that helps to get them elected. but that doesn't mean that that's how they're going to

serve. once they're in office. but aside from whatever trump or vance wants, or even congress, let's look at it this way. whether you are talking about the mifepristone case that went to the united states' supreme court, or the case involving emergency health care, when a woman literally, you know, is bleeding out and dying, whether or not she has to be treated in a hospital, remember, both of those cases were not decided on the merits. one, it was said that the plaintiffs lack standing to bring that case. and the other -- the decision was that it was improvidently granted. there's no decision on the merits. those cases could go back to the united states' supreme court and if so, you are really talking about, you know, in the case of mifepristone you know over half of the abortions in michigan are performed using

abortion medication. that still could be eliminated. so that there's still all these ways to chip away at abortion rights and birth control and so many other fundamental rights that have been protected for a long time. irrespective of what congress or a president does. simply because of who we have on the united states' supreme court. and that's why i have been screaming from the rooftops all our, you know, most sacred fundament tap rights are in jeopardy if we have the wrong people on the court. we have, you know, two individuals on the court, maybe three if you include sonia sotomayor that may not last for another presidential term. and of course that includes alito and thomas. and it is so essential that we have kamala harris in the white house so she can be nominating people who care about protecting our essential freedoms, whether there's abortion, birth control, whether that's about, you know,

the ability to have environmental regulations. whether it's even about the ability to prohibit public funding of private schools. which is a case that's pending right now from my state before the united states' supreme court. they are considering taking that case and of course that would apply to all 50 states. so i think people have to remember that each and every one of our fundamental rights could be eviscerated if we don't select the right person to be president of the united states. and a senate who will confirm the right people to be justices on that court. >> michigan attorney general dana nessel, i am just so glad you could join us today. you are one of the stars rising stars frankly in the party that grace the dnc stage earlier this week. and if anyone missed what you had to say there, they got just a glimpse of it today. thank you very much for your time and your work and we hope to see you again very soon.

[ cheering and applause ] this november, let's elect a president who will lean forward to embrace the future. because america doesn't follow. we do not retreat. we are the united states of america. we lead. >> democratic congresswoman elissa slotkin of michigan joins us now and she is a member of the armed services committee and is currently runsing for the state's open senate seat. >> those were some of the most

powerful remarks from this week, congresswoman, specifically because and this was the night that democrats i thought took it just straight to republicans on every single front as it relates to national security. in this country. and you started your remarks talking about how you got into service if you will, you were recruited by the cia after 9/11. can you just share a little bit of what you shared from this stage? because i think there's a direct line from that moment to the one that we are currently living in with, you know, donald trump who -- essentially does not understand service and does not understand how the world works and our allies and the importance and the fragility of the national security apparatus. >> you saw on stage from a lot of people that the idea that elected office is supposed to be service. you are supposed to be working on behalf of people and putting your personal interests aside and putting national interests ahead of anything else and that's -- the very opposite of

what trump does every single day. he only knows personal interests and he doesn't know national interests. and a lot of us up on that stage especially some of the quote unquote younger folks and i'm not going to call myself young, but were what we call 9/11 babies. you know, we were young in our early 20s when 9/11 happened. we were attacked on our soil. for the first time in our generation and it motivated us to, you know, join the military. join the cia. get involved in national security. join the state department. protect the country we all love and i think for many of us who spoke that evening on thursday night, there's a through line. service to country also means protecting your country when the internal divisions, the polarization in our country, are a threat. and that's the moment we're living through. so i was glad to see so many people flesh that out and i was just so thrilled the whole time to hear, you know, these spontaneous chants of ua and

american flags and we should be wearing that on our sleeve because we're all doing this because we love our country. that's whatness about. >> as a fellow older millennial. it changed the way we saw america's relationship to the world with 9/11. the way we understood's americarole on the global stage and it's in fact shaped our thinking about so much of our politics. coming on the air today. we of course received news, congresswoman, out of the middle east and i wonder both how you are looking at that in the context of the crisis itself. but also the stakes that are being set for this presidential election as we choose a next commander-in-chief. >> well, obviously we've all been sort of on pins and needles about the potential of a wider war in the middle east and looks like there was, you know, a significant exchange today. looks like it's quieted down

for the evening which is good and hopefully it will continue to be quiet. but i think this is -- this is the issue when those of us in the national security world think about who's our commander and chief? right? the need for that steady hand and the need to work with allies instead of treating them as adversaries. the idea there are global threats and we have to be global leader and not retreat into theisolationist kind of stance where we're just going to pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist and lord knows the united states has made mistakes. any day of the week over china or russia but that requires a serious leader in the oval office. so that's why when i talked about the stakes in november, you know, lots of different angles on lots of issues but on national security it couldn't be more stark to have a man who see himself as the only interest rather than the national interest and the oval office is dangerous. for our country and lord knows,

the world is watching these elections just absolutely nervous about what's going to take place. >> you know, congresswoman, vice president harris could be successful in november and winning the oval office, but without a democratic house and a democratic senate, her agenda would be hamstrung. so you are running for the united states senate in michigan. we want to put some polling up on the screen even though the polls are indicative. not predictive. but between you and rogers, mike rogers who is a republican nominee, 47% right now. mike rogers at 44%. and 8% are currently undecided. this is among voters overall and again aarp poll in michigan. what are you doing to close -- to close the gap, frankly, between the voters across this state and democrats in michigan and in order to win statewide? you have to -- yes, be able to win detroit. but you also have to be able to win the suburban counties. and then close the gaps in

rural -- in some of the more rural parts of the state. in michigan early voting starts this last week i believe of september. what's your pitch? >> yeah. i mean, i think my pitch is, you have a very, very stark choice up and down the ballot. you have again -- a president and his sycophants who will do whatever they need to get your vote and then flip the next day just like you talked about in the last segment so just please don't believe these folk whence they try to tell you they've changed and they're going to protect your rights. they're going to believe in democracy. all the things that they're saying now to get people's votes, they will just absolutely turn around and dump those views the minute they get into power. and then i think for michigan, you know, i have been trying to caution people we've had incredible enthusiasm with the change at the top of the ticket but we can't get high on our own supply. we can't get so comfortable and think that everyone feels that same energy. in michigan the independent voters and moderate and swing

voters, really determine our election. so it's on us to go out and ask for people's votes and talk about things and number one issue here in the state, for sure, is the economy. and the future of work. so it's still those meat and potato issues even as people watched the dnc and see all the fun stuff going on there. we can't forget basics and in michigan, trump has made this like his focal point. in nine days, he and vance will be here four separate times and i have not seen that in my time. they feel it's now essential for the strategy and we have to really get our act together and fight here. >> michigan is absolutely in play. very quick follow-up. we're out of time. are you saying that then mike rogers one of your opponents is saying he will do something on the campaign trail and will do something different if elected? >> absolutely and it's nice when someone has a 20 year record so we can go and check the facts. >> congresswoman slotkin of michigan, thank you very much. america folks, now they

know the person coach walz. and they know that he can give a pep talk and they know he can throw a punch if he needs to. ahead talk to someone who knows the governor very well. minnesota attorney general keith ellison who is standing by. this is "the weekend." rs! starting a business is never easy, but starting it eight months pregnant.. that's a different story. i couldn't slow down. we were starting a business from the ground up. people were showing up left and right. and so did our business needs. the chase ink card made it easy. when you go for something big like this, your kids see that. and they believe they can do the same. earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase with the chase ink business unlimited card from chase for business. make more of what's yours.

>> he's the guy that's going to pull over and help you push out of the snow. he's that fellow. he's easy-going, relatable. a nice guy. is also tough. there's no doubt about it.

he knows how to stand up to those republicans. you've been doing it ever since i worked with him. he came into congress with a capital a rating from the nra because he's a second amendment reporter. over the course of extremism, the nra making excuses for every mass shooting, never being reasonable, coming to the table. he said you know what, you guys are reasonable -- aren't reasonable anymore and he still supports gun rights but he also believes in protecting people from gun crime. and has taken very important historic steps to do that. so he is tough. he knows how to say no, but he also knows how to deal with the real problems people are facing every day. i was so glad to work with him, as he was signing the bill to make sure we have universal

school lunches for all kids. here's a guy who knows what it means to try to teach a kid who's in repair and so he made that a priority. earned safe time. parents, do you really want them to be going back to work when they are not well and they need to be home in bed, to recover. he is sensitive to the needs of parent. i can keep going. the child tax credit, making sure families have resources that they need to raise families. i mean, people call him a progressive and he does want progress. but the real truth is, he is a pragmatic problem solver, that is the way i see tim walz. >> pragmatic problem solver. i think it is important you said that general allison. because one governor walz was announced as running mate,

there were lots of frankly republicans and even moderate democrats he said, his record as a congressman is great but his record as a governor, not so much. feeding hungry kids, and ensuring people can make decisions that they need to make for their lives with their doctors and without interference of the government, to me that sounds mainstream. i don't know, maybe i am out of touch. >> no, i think you are well and in touch as everybody knows that. the point is that most americans do believe women should have a right lieve background checks are reasonable and fair. even gone over hours -- gun owners believe that. he has a very commonsense way of approaching government and we need to ask ourselves the question, have we been talked to the right for so long that we think being reasonable and fair and common sense is somehow progressive? i think we have got to ask

ourselves that question. >> ag, listen to your own words on stage at the convention, talking about your time working with it the governor in the aftermath of george floyd's death. take a listen. >> i will never forget when i first saw the video of the murder of george floyd. i was heartbroken. i was angry. and that morning, my phone rang. and on that line was governor tim walz. tim walz felt the exact same way i did. kamala and tim understand the legacy of george floyd. no one is above the law and no one is beneath it. >> what did that teach you about the governor? >> it taught me that he would take the moral course, the right course before he would take the politically expedient course. in that moment, people who care

about the suffering of others were first going to think about, how can i be of service, how can i help the situation, how, as governor, can i make the situation better. that is the impulse the head. he didn't come at me with how is this going to pull or what is the best political move. it was wow, this tragedy happened in our state and what are we going to do about it? and i will always be grateful for him, for that human response. he was concerned about the family. he was concerned about you know, the loved ones of george floyd. he asked me what i knew, and of course i'm not going to share what i told him on national television, but we communicated effectively that day, and throughout the course of the day we talked. the next day we

talked and by the end of the week he was saying i'm going to assign this case to you. because we needed to get the public trust back on track, so that we could one, demonstrate to the community that this matter was going to be handled in a serious and airway, and politics would not enter into how the case was decided and settled and resolved. >> because of that decision by the governor you, attorney general ellison, successfully prosecuted and convicted derek chauvin for george floyd smarter. think you so much for your time today. >> thank you, have a great day. >> that does it for the weekend, we will see you next saturday at 8:00 a.m. eastern. velshi is coming up right after this. don't go anywhere. (man 1) oh no, no, no, no, no, no! (man 2) what's my next step? oh! ugh.

(girl) dad. (vo) you break it. we take it. (woman 2) we can take it. (vo) trade in any phone, in any condition at verizon for the new google pixel 9 with gemini. (man 2) give me a recipe with these ingredients. (girl) let's do that one. (vo) 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.
