great woman of honor, a rock of righteousness. i thought she made the world a better place for us to live in, so you think oh, dear, and then you think thank you, thank you. it will be a different place, but that is the human condition. i have not felt too good, i felt oh, dear. now the rain is coming down in washington dc as she leaves the capital for the last time "meet the press daily" with chuck todd is next. thank you for being with us. >> welcome to friday. it is "meet the press daily." we have been watching the final moments of the capitol hill ceremonies honoring and remembering ruth bader-ginsburg.

her cast ket was walked docaske as her hearse pulled away, it started to rain. a military honor guard carried justice ginsburg. many lawmakers paid their own respects. with the motorcade departing the capital, it marks the end of a week of public memorials. she will be laid to rest in a private ceremony next week next to her husband at arlington national cemetery. the focus now switches to her successor of the high court. president trump did not attend

any ceremonies today. he will announce his pick tomorrow as he pushes for a confirmation vote before the election. a judge named amy barrett is said to be a front runner. judge barrett is the pick that many people think will be announced tomorrow. her catholic faith made her popular with president trump's religious potters and logoa has the backing of many senators. now from the capital is kaci hunt, also joined by carolly. alison barber, and also we have mooek ll ll lle michael beshla.

it has been a week lash week when you have a death of a sitle spreek court justice, there is a lot of people that would like to take a breath and mourn, but there is a pace to hurry up and start the politics of all of this. the politics speeding it up even more so. >> when i think about what it has been like for the last seven days since she passed away. what we were all doing on friday nights as the news rippled across washington. my initial reaction was that everything has changed. and in some ways it has, but the fact that her passing, when it happened, means that the court

is potentially dramatically different for a very long period of time. from a political perspective, we very quickly got right back to status quo. it has been in some ways hard to spend the time reflecting on what just happened here. i'm grateful i got to spend a few moments here at the capitol focuses just on that. i have also been chasing senators through the hallways, and the focus is how do we get it nailed down and shut in time to get a new personal in place ahead of the flexielection. it is remarkable. this is not like, you know normally we would see all four leaders at a moan of this magnitude. we would have seen mitch

mcconnell and kevin mccarthy out there today. and they weren't, we don't know why they weren't here. i need to check with our reporters, i don't know if he is campaigning in kentucky. i was told there is no updates to senator mcconnell's schedule, but if they apt ceremony like this in the rotunda, they have to have the leaders agree. this was in the former house of representatives. not to tack away from what she just received for honor and ceremony, but the reality is that no one can explain why this wasn't in the rotunda. i think it really speaks to just how divided things are. the fundamental reality is that it violates her dieing wish and

you know we understand very well that politics drives everything that happens here if is still a remarkable human reality. the country is facing down one of the greatest challenges in the history of our republic going into this election. you can feel the weight of what is going on, you know, sitting here between the court and the capitol. watching the military carry her casket down the stairs. we have a lot of questions. i don't think we should lose slight of the weight of all of it. >> it is an excellent point. a real head scratcher why republican leadership did what they did. i do think it is something that we ought to continue to ask questions about because it doesn't make a lot of sense. let me go to the white house

with carol lee. the president woke up this morning in miami, and while he did not supposedly have an interview scheduled, the question is is amy comey barrett a deal? or did he start thinking there is an alternative way to go? >> the president said he is close to making a decision and everyone that we speak with sees judge barrett. they have 90% of a chance on jud judge, and they are pushing for judge logoa. there is competing advice about how he should proceed, who he picks, and the timing of any

senate confirmation. there are some leaders that have been telling the white house they will only accept a white house, someone like judge barrett. someone that demonstrated they're opposed to roe v wade, and saying judge lagoa does not. others say that anyone on the slis fine, maybe some of the supporters will be less energized. the president really needs the voters to turn out for them. they are key supporters, chuck. >> i have to say, do they really think that if the judge -- the one ridge i think with judge

barrett is that abortion becomes an issue in the last three weeks of the campaign and all of the evidence seems to point, i don't know how it helps the president. his problem with women in particular, and in the suburbs, that seem to be the last thing they would want. a real fight about roe two weeks before the election. >> that is a great point, a point that some of the president's allies have been making to him. you don't want to have someone so conservative that it further alienates suburban women. but you have real religious conservatives saying to the president look, the bigger the fight the better. that will energize your supporters. on top of that some of them are saying the timing of this, they're urging the white house to not move forward with a confirmation vote. they're saying it would take away from the enthusiasm.

either way, whether or not it is a a judge or someone else, there is a feeling that if the president pushes for a vote before election day that it is one of the president's close allies they said it would be like having your kids have desert before their meet and vegetables. >> well, that is interesting. there is a lot of different theories about getting the votes while you have them or waiting to see what happens on election day. on the abortion issue i want to go to alison barber. you have spoken with some voters on this. what did you find? >> i spoke with those voters after they were leaving a prayer vigil. they were having a prayer period

to try to end abortions. they personally identify as pro life voters. they oppose abortion rights. overturning them coming from this president, it is not just a political issue, it is the political issue. they say in the words of one advocate that i spoke to, that when it comes to politics this is the issue because in their view nothing -- all of the rights in their view -- they should not assume. >> i don't care if it is a democrat or republican. it is an important issue. >> i think it will make some people more hardened in their advocacy for life. is that my top issue? it has been all of my life.

>> all of the voters identified asevangelical, but certainly what they would describe themselves as was devout christians. they point to some of trump's behaviors past and present as not in line with christian. they say because of the issue of abortion and overturning roe v. wade is so important to them, it is different. i asked voters that we spoke to if it bothered them that republicans were on the record in the past saying they didn't think a vote on a supreme court nomination should be held so close to the election year. they said it doesn't matter how we get there, just that we get there, chuck? >> alison, down there in

sarasota talking with activist voters there. michael. i want to go back to where we started this conversation with kaci hunt, and the lack -- it was not totally partisan, but the lack of the major leaders of the republican side of the aisle being there. just steve scalise being the highest ranking republican there. i'll be honest, it was so jars to me to see it was pelosi and schumer leading this, and it's like where is the leadership of the entire united states of america? >> that is right, chuck. things that bring us together is inaugurations and national funerals. even that didn't happen this

time. donald trump look u.s. like he will get three justices on the supreme court. in history that is a really large number for any president within less than four years. as a result, this court may end up deciding a contested election in the next couple months. what if other things happened deferently. 2016, if mitch mcconnell had not deprived barack obama of the ability to confirm a justice of his own choice. 2018, if trump and others did not lean on justice anthony kennedy, to get kennedy to leave the course in favor of justice cavanagh, and then finally if the republicans had not taken such an aggressive position this

month says a justice has to be appointed immediately and rushed through before the election. if those three things had not happened, trump may have had zero supreme court justices rather than three. >> i will go to my grave believing that without an actual supreme court seat, he does not win the first time. i always believed there was skeptical voters that only came to him at the end because of the open supreme court seat. if scalia was still alive, i don't know if he wins. >> yes, it does, this is why you must love being a historian. >> most days, but not all of them. >> i hear you. >> thank you, michael, and all of my colleagues there. it is becoming even more clear how president trump is using the

machinery of the government in an attempt to benefit his campaign and to cast doubts on the legitimacy of the election. that being extraordinary dangerous. if you're concerned, you're not alone. so are top officials at the penal pentagon. more on that report after the break. re on that report after t break. but now a friend. still an electric car. just more electrifying. still a night out. but everything fits in. still hard work. just a little easier. still a legend. just more legendary. chevrolet. making life's journey, just better. economics? algorithms? magic?

[hard a]

tonight... i'll be eating four cheese tortellini with extra tomatoes. [full emphasis on the soft a] so its come to this? [doorbell chimes] thank you. [doorbell chimes] bravo. careful, hamill. daddy's not here to save you. oh i am my daddy. wait, what? what are you talking about?

president president, are the election results only legitimate if you win? >> so we have to be very careful with the ballots. that's a whole big scam. we want to make sure the election is honest, and i don't know that it can be. i don't know that it can be with this whole situation. unsolicited ballots, being sent

to everybody. >> the president's reelection strategy appears to be focused on ways to discorrurupt the ele. he is under mining the protection, but more than that he is trying to leverage the central government to to help sis campaign. yesterday they put one out. there was an extremely small number of mail in ballots that ahere to be improperly discarded. they say the bat lolls were put out by president trump. also as he loses surround, he is

sending $200 in drug coupons for seniors. it's unsir if he has the legal support or the power to do that. the president also signed an executive order on pre-existing conditions. he restated the law and support for obama care. all of this was in an effort to thwart criticism. and then, there was the amount of money that they decided to send to puerto rico, aid, an election year announcement. and they're concerned that he will try to use the power of the military around the election. we'll have more on that in a moment. joining me now is peter baker. he is an msnbc political anal t analyst, and matt miller.

so peter, you know my first campaign, presidential campaign, was the 92 campaign. and i remember george h.w. bush. he was landing in swing state after swing state promising this government contract and this government program, but he did promise things going forward that he actually had the money to promise or it was a pledge. this is something new all together, this essentially sending cash to voters. particularly voters that he really needs. older voters. >> every president trying to use the advantage of the incumbency the best they can. sending cash in the last few weeks of the campaign, it does raise questions. and we saw time and time again examples where his

administration has been politicizing something in advance of the election. the timing of a vaccine, whether or not it is the timing of this durham informativestigation int obama era fbi. a investigator quit because he is was pressured to find results before the election. we said the other day that she was forced to endure 18 hours worth of meetings to convince her to sign what she called a false affidavit to try to stop john bolten's book from coming out. it looks like a lot of politicalization. >> the other thing he has been using the bully pulpit to do is to butt into doubt the validity

of the election. >> this is a way they're trying to steal the election. everybody knows it. the only way they will win is by rigged election. the democrats are trying to rig this election. it's the only way they're going to win. the only way they're going to win is to rig it. >> i think we fully appreciate how important it is for the person that holds the baton. they are supposed to be the discu custodian to do what he is doing to our own democracy here. i have gotten a lot of push black from trump folks and folks in their orbit that say you take this way too seriously. he is just doing what he does trying to get everyone in a tizzy. if that is the indication should

we be ignoring these threats? >> i think he does like to get us in a tizzy talking about this kind of thing. he likes to freak out the establishment. but i think there is a consequence that goes beyond just whether or not we have a tv show about it. the democracy rests entirely on the belief by the people that it is fair and that it works and that it is not corruptied. the more they say it doesn't work, that it is rupgs, ork it will sew doubt. this is the whole purpose of the intervention to make americans doubt their own system and democracy. whether or not he means to, the president's language lately has played into that rather starkly.

i don't think of any wth that has talked down democracy. he is says don't trust what is going to happen on november 3rd. why is he doing that? he is losing in the poles. he wants explanation that is different than the voters rejecting him. >> what has been striking to me, it looks like press releases out of the kremlin sometimes. they're so over the top in the lacking of reality and some are so filled with half truths and misconceptions, it is like dealing with a bizarre outside third world country leadership at times. i want to bring in matt miller

here. you are a form er. what we saw was a merging of the white house and the justice department and the campaign all with -- all that started with the press conference. so stop three -- >> the president wants to get rid of mass mailout voting. i can confirm that trump ballots, ballots for the president, were found in pennsylvania and i believe you should be getting more information on that shortly. >> they found, i understand, eight bat lollots in a waste pa basket. it was reported in a newspaper they found a bunch in a river. they throw them out if they have

the name trump on them. >> they had no names on them. >> they still found them in a river whether or not they had a name or not. the others had the trump name on it and they were thrown into a waste paper basket. they put out a release, and the first included a claim that they were trump ballots. that was withdrawn, but this was highly unusual and highly political. we should not be surprised any more, but even this seemed like a new line that was crossed. >> it was highly unusual, highly political, and highly inappropriate. look there are a number of rules that the department blew through. number one there is a overall rule that the doj doesn't comment on ongoing conversations. there is stronger rules for investigations that involve elections. sometimes they don't interview

people because they're afraid of the fact that doing an interview will go public and it will cast doubt on the election. it doesn't achieve anything in terms of the investigation. there is no agency at the local election. officials here were trying to hurt the president. it is irrelevant to the investigation. the only way you would make that claim publicly is you're trying to hurt the president. i don't have any faith in bill barr. we have seen how he politicized the department. this is a press release that came out of the middle district of pennsylvania. when you think about the election is not a national election, but a series of 50 individual elections, it tells me some of the construction that we see at the highest levels have seemed out into the field

and i find that very concerning with the election coming in just over 40 days. >> i'm running short on time so i can't play the sound bite, but earlier today, also, mark meadows went hard after christopher ray and it seems to be because they testified they're not finding any fraud with mail in bat lolls. >> yeah, two things they have done in the last week. one, contradicted the fraud and mail in ballots, second, people are trying to cast doubt on the indegty of the elections. that was the biggest threat we see. they talked about it in the realm of before and afters. i have to think that they're very concerned about that. >> i appreciate having you both

on, sharing your views and perspective with us. up next, the concerns of the pentagon. also ahead, one thing has not really changed, joe biden inste steadily leading in the polls. we have all of the senate numbers to crunch with kcornack just ahead. crunch with kcornaci just ahead tired of clean clothes that just don't smell clean?

welcome back. how aggressively will the president use that power after the election, we don't know. there is concern that's he could rope the military in. according to the "new york times" senior leaders acknowledged they were talking among themselves about what to do it mr. trump, who will still be president, invokes the act. starting at the top, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff general mark milly. joining me now is a former cabinet member under president trump. brett, it is interesting the one thing i'm sure you can speak to

is the military, lip in the military, they plan for everything. and i'm curious, talk amongst themselves, isn't that code for "they're planning for every contingency post election including the possibility of what president does? is that how we should read this piece? >> first, thank you for having me. i think this is pretty alarming pete. it's not really a hypothetical. back in june, that extraordinary set of events, the emergency response force. the unit on call 24/7 and the crisis for protecting our embassies, they were the ploy out of ft. bragg. so you know this -- we were at the precipice of that moment.

you saw them back off a little bit. i think it is good they're having these internal discussions, but this is like a four alarm fire. they tried to get the two leaders on the record. . they wrote a letter saying do you commit to not using the military. millie answered that letter and said outly not. i think it is important to get the secretary of defense on the record. >> what is really important about what the general did is he did that oath, and i think that was important. something else that has been widely read in the ring, as they call it. it was this op-ed. it was a letter to general

millie. they said we do not live in regular times. the president is threatening to remain in office in defiance of our constitution. you may have to choose between defying a lawless president or betraying your oath. if donald trump refuses to leave office at the end of his term, he must be removed by force and you must give that order. do you think in some ways that his answer should fie them here? >> i think the principal should be that the u.s. military, our active duty military forces, separate from the national guard, should have no role in an election dispute or scenario. i think it is very alarming that the president himself is

enabling this operation. so this is coming, history is coming. so to get the leaders on the record, i agree with you it is critical. we saw a chain of command, right? he gives the best advice to the president. the executer of the orders goes right to him. that is a fire break and i think is very important to get him on the record. that is such an insult to the chain of command if is a question that he is supposed to answer. and i would hope there is pressure on him to get this on the record for the american people. >> this was apparently a heated debate. the president threw it out there almost willy nilly on twitter.

if he invokes it, there is not a lot that folks can do about it. >> technically he has some authority. the fact that we're talking about this is alarming. but act that limits his authority and the instruction, it is rarely used in history without a specific request for a governor. so the civil rights riots. the request for the governor. the only times it has been used without a request from a governor is whennize ize eisenh president kennedy were enforcing the laws. so this is a rarity in american history. the president did not talk about krusing this act in such a flippant way, and i think is very port for them to think through the scenarios. again, that deployment of the

82nd airborne is an extraordinary thing to deploy outside of washington dc. when that happened, it was very fortunate they were not deployed into the streets of washington but they were ready. it is important, i think, obviously the conversations at the pentagon, but just going back to my first point, he has to be on the record here. there is a question from congress and he has not answered. >> and you know for raeeading t political tea leaves, it's not like the president is a fan of his any more. >> that's right. >> i agree. >> thanks. >> the oes ath is to the constitution, not the president. a update out of louisville. vowing to continue protests until the officers involved in her death are charged. the mayor is calling for calm.

some protestors set fire, but it doesn't afeppear that anyone wa hurt. they asked for the grand jury transcripts to be released. announced that no officers would be charged in the death of beoanna taylor. just former officer was charged with juwanton endangerment. germ.

pennsylvania. but the big one, perhaps the most surprising is that biden is ahead in ohio by five points. but the fact that that one had five points saying something else. and it also says that the ruth ba bad bader-ginsburg death has not had an impact on the election. let's go to steve cornacki. they think the supreme court opening would probably not affect the presidency. >> let's break these down into a couple different categories. for democrats if they get biden elected president they need a

net gene of three nat seats. that would be 50, so are there any democratic incumbents who are in danger. there is one right now trailing in the polling, not a big surprise here. doug jones in alabama, if that result holds, that would be a loss for democrats, gain for republicans. democrats then need a net gain of four. if they're unable to hang on in alabama. so the next category is what about republican incumbents in this situation? how many republicans when you look at the polling right now are trailing and the answer at this moment is five. there is five republicans in the average of polls. we have been getting polls this months. tillis, ernst in ohio.

now biden and trump are very close. you have democrats leading in the polling in these senate races. again if they lose alabama they will need a net gain of four. to take it one level further, how many races is there a republican incumbent who is ahead, but the margin is within five. so maybe striking range for democrats. you can add three more there. there is lindsey graham in south carolina. so you're seeing a lot of targets there. one more category, we call this the wild card. some races here that we don't have much polling in but folks are looking at. alaska, kansas, you have a special election in georgia.

the republican seat won't be determined until after the election, and there is one incumbent there whose lead is in the high single digits right now. the totality of that, you talk about a big biden lead nationally. it translates to a lot of opportunity there's for democrats and very few for republicans to play offense. >> you know, steve, it is a huge senate battlefield this year. the number of senate races that is going to have the winning candidate not be over 60% will probably be among the highest we have had. there is even a few other races that look they're low double digits, but minnesota, mississippi, it is extraordinary how overall competitive and part of that is just the money this year. ste steve, what a overview, thank

you. the governor of virginia, and his wife, are among the first residence tested positive. this comes as cases total 7 million nationwide, and new cases rn are on the rise after declining for weeks, and bizarrely at the same time, despite announcing more close to record numbers of deaths again this week, florida governor ron desantis announced he's lifting all coronavirus restrictions on restaurants and all businesses. again, this comes as florida posted nearly 3,000 new cases today alone. >> coming up, texas is already breaking state records on voter registration this year, and today, the numbers are getting an even bigger bounce. we'll have more on that on the other side.

drive-in voter registration. it's a whole new way of looking at motor voter. >> that's right, chuck. and there was a pretty steady stream of folks this morning, eager to get in line and get that done. they have got a dj out here, sort of spinning tunes as folks do drive up or walk up if they choose to to get registered and they're giving out these houston rockets masks and also cups with some of the folks' favorite players on them, but you know, data early on showed voter registration in texas during the first seven months of this year was actually down compared to 2016. and a number of organizations were very concerned about what that would mean here, but those numbers have completely turned around. there are now more than 16.6 million registered voters here in texas. that is huge. and the real question is what impact will this have when those election results begin to come in? the houston chronicle actually did an analysis of where those new voters are coming from, and found that one third of them are

in democratic strongholds, so counties with big cities like houston, san antonio, and austin. but their analysis also found those suburban districts where donald trump won in 2016 are also seeing an uptick in registrations. it's going to be very interesting to see the impact of all these new voters and all these new ways to vote. what impact that could have on election night. i will say, i have spoken to about half a dozen voters who came in to register today. one of them told me that she was voting for biden. inothers told me they were still undecided. now, i know folks in texas like to keep those answers kind of close to their chest, so it would be that they just didn't want to share, but very interesting that folks are still considering who they're going to vote for, roughly three weeks out from early voting starting here in texas, chuck. >> well, priscilla thompson with a fascinating event there that you're covering. you know, the voter registration

numbers, they have been uneven all year, and i will tell you this, i have been hearing from democrats for 18 months now. scratching their head and wondering what took so long to get fired up in texas, what took so long to get stuff going in georgia. we'll see if they have enough time to catch up. thank you. and thank you all for being with us this hour. we'll be back monday with more "meet the press daily," and if it's sunday, it's "meet the press" on nbc. a great show for you, the first sunday show right after we find out who the new court pick is. msnbc's coverage continues with katy tur right after this break. . nah. ♪ here? nope. ♪ here. ♪ when the middle of nowhere... is somewhere. the all-new chevy trailblazer. ♪
