6:01 am
good morning. it's saturday, october 3rd. we're a mongtth away from the election day. roughly 210,000 americans are dead from covid-19 and around 7.4 million have been diagnosed with the disease and that now includes president donald trump and first lady melania trump. >> the president believes that people have a first amendment right to political speech. he's having a rally. people can choose whether or not to come. there really seems to be two standards of health in this country, one for trump supporters and one for everyone else. >> as a precautionary measure on the recommendation of his physicians, the president is right now at walter reed
6:02 am
national military medical center. we'll work out of the presidential offices at the facility for the next few days. the white house says the president is experiencing, quote, "mild symptoms." and nbc news learned that trump does have a low-grade fever. the president's physician says "trump remains fatigued and in good spirits" and melania has a mild cough and headache. the trump has started therapy and received a single 8 gram dose of an experimental antibody cocktail. this is where the president has been in the last seven days which includes a rose garden ceremony last saturday announcing the nominee to the supreme court. plus, he's been at a campaign fund-raiser at a rally in minnesota and a campaign fund-raiser thursday night at
6:03 am
his private golf course in new jersey. the white house says trump tested positive on thursday night. we don't know if it was before or after the fund-raiser in new jersey or before or after he traveled back to washington. vice president mike pence and second lady karen pence have tested negative as has secretary of state, william barr and the white house press secretary. alice marie johnson who traveled with trump on air force one has tweeted that she has tested negative at this time. she was somebody who was released from prison at the behest of president trump. nbc news learned that hope hicks began showing symptoms for the disease on wednesday evening and quarantined on air force one in so far as it's possible to quarantine on an airplane with other people onboard. she did so on the flight back to washington from a trump campaign event in minnesota. hicks tested positive for
6:04 am
covid-19 on thursday morning before trump's new jersey fund-raiser. rnc chairwoman, trump's campaign manager, kellyanne conway, his former counselor, they all tested positive now and ron johnson announced he has also tested positive as has the university of notre dame president, utah's republican senator mike lee, north carolina's republican senator tom tillis, all who attended trump's announcement last saturday nominating judge amy coney barrett to the supreme court. judge barrett has tested negative but likely because she's known to have the coronavirus already and recovered from it. although that's not a for sure. the president's diagnosis came just days after what's widely being called the worst presidential debate in american
6:05 am
history. the sessions included five people and no one was wearing masks in the room. joe biden announced that he and his wife have tested negative. he said jill and i send our thoughts to president trump and first lady melania trump for a swift recovery and we continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family. >> i would like to start by acknowledging which i'm sure all of you do as well sending my prayers for the health and safety for the first lady and president of the united states after they tested positive for covid-19. my wife, jill, and i pray they'll make a quick and full recovery. this is not a matter of politics. it's a reminder to all of us that we have to take this virus seriously. it's not going away automatically. we have to do our part to be
6:06 am
responsible. it means following the science, listening to the experts, washing our hands, social distancing, it means wearing a mask in public and encouraging others to do so as well. it means having masking mandates nationwide. >> joining me now is national political report for nbc news josh letterman. there's a question of the diagnosis and fund-raiser in new jersey and what happened last week at the rose garden. it's important from a contact tracing perspective but also important from a news perspective to understand how this all happened. what do you have at this point that can help clear this up? >> some very serious questions as we try to piece the time line not only of what happened but about how the white house responded to it. mark meadows, the white house chief of staff, says that it was on thursday before the president
6:07 am
left washington to go to this fund-raiser in new jersey that the white house learned that hope hicks tested positive. that raises questions why the president went on the plane and went to new jersey to go to a fund-raiser where the president had been in close proximity to hope hicks on the airplane. the white house press secretary saying that it was the white house operations office that determined that it was safe for the president to continue to this fund-raiser because it was going to be outside and because it was going to be socially distanced. this is really raising some concerns about the appropriateness of how the white house has hagndled this. we spoke with some of the people who have been in contact with people who have tested positive. as of late last night, some this not been contacted by white house contact tracers or the medical office. meanwhile, all of washington really holding its breath now to
6:08 am
see how the president will fare. from here in bethesda with supporters have been holding vigil since before i got here at 5:30 this morning all of the way to the capitol where the confirmation of amy barrett has been thrown into uncertainty with three senators now testing positive for coronavirus. as you remember, mitch mcconnell can only lose two republican senators to still get barrett confirmed because of senators who said they won't support this. chuck schumer says it doesn't make sense to go ahead with the confirmation hearing less than two weeks from now while there's so much uncertainty about this. senator graham, the chairman of the senate judiciary committee, saying he sees no reason not to participate and people can participate in that hearing remotely if they want to.
6:09 am
when it comes to confirming her, at this point in time there's no provision for the senate to remotely hold votes. >> josh, thank you for your reporting. the president's physician, u.s. navy commander sean conley, reports that donald trump remains fatigued but in good spirits. in addition to taking zinc, vitamin d, melatonin for sleep and a daily aspirin, commander conley says he's received a single 8 gram dose of an experimental antibody cocktail which has revealed came following a compassionate use request. it's important you understand what a compassionate use request is for. nbc news medical unit notes that compassionate use request are means of accessing experimental drugs outside of clinical trials most often in situations where patients have no other options and have severe or life
6:10 am
threatening disease. according to regeneron it's approved on a case by case basis. joining me now is associate professor of infectious diseases at the national emerging infectious diseases at the boston school of medicine. thank you for joining us, doctor. this is your specialty. for so many months you and i have been talking and it's been strange to see the backdrop of a white house that's been acting as if it's before times and if it's a time before infection. they have taken minimal precautions and generally speaking the president continues to defy the public health recommendations of masking, social distancing and similar things. now this thing is in our political establishment. it's in the white house. we now have the third senator, ron johnson, declaring that he's tested positive. the third republican senator in
6:11 am
24 hours. what do you make of what's going on now? >> this is what we expected when we started seeing the early cases declared on thursday and friday was likely this would be a large cluster because the white house has depended on this testing only strategy. testing is necessary but linked with physical distancing and masking and now we expand to a point where you see a lot of people that are currently we haven't yet discovered that they're sick. we're only declaring the main actors that the media knows about. what about the support staff at the white house, the servers, the essential workers and people exposed after the president and ms. hicks and others were actually sick and still traveling. >> let's talk about the treatment that the president is being given. on one hand we're seeing reports that he's fine. we hope he's fine by the way. we pray that the president and first lady and hope hicks and
6:12 am
everyone that has this is fine. on the other hand the treatment seems more aggressive than at the low end of this thing. what do you make of it? >> great point. as you mentioned part of what i do for my job is i evaluate medical countermeasures or treatments that seem promising potentially for deployment for clinical trials in outbreaks or for use for compassionate use when there's an emerging infectious disease and you don't have a lot of other therapeutics. so the kind of things we look at in my field is when we're asking to use something that's not yet gone through the data, is it safe? is it ethical? let me quickly touch on this. so for the antibody cocktail that we talked about, that's what the president received as compassionate use because it hasn't gone through phase 2, 3 trials. there's a small study that came out earlier this week that showed it was pretty well
6:13 am
tolerated and as treatment they have been used in cancer and other infectious diseases like ebola so the safety bit of it i can see why physicians say there's enough evidence that it may be safe. in terms of efficacy it's tougher because all we have for coronavirus is a small study that rejeneron has that outpatients it reduced the amount of virus in their body and seemed to decrease the need to go to the hospital. so i think personally and this is my educated guess, we can talk about the ethics of whether it was right or not for the president to receive this treatment but i would have made that decision as well because getting him that potential treatment, the timing would have been right for him to get it before he got to the hospital. the last bit is the ethics. go ahead. >> no. please finish that sentence.
6:14 am
that's what i wanted to hear the ethics. >> this is the most important part. the ethics is for the patient itself it seems like potentially the benefit -- the risk/benefit ratio was in favor of giving it to him and then you have distributed justice. you talked about ebola in the past. if there's limited resources, how do you distribute it in society in an ethical fashion? is it fair the president receives a treatment that is not assessable to others? if that's true, how do we make it more fair. i think at this point when there's an experimental treatment, it's too early to talk about it. if these antibodies turn out that they are safe, what i do hope is the president receive this treatment because put a lot of money in it and taxpayers money helped developed the treatment which the president is now receiving, but i hope that
6:15 am
the price is made so that it's widely distributed and available to everybody who might be getting sick. but that's when we have the evidence for efficacy. >> i don't think people would disapprove that the president gets -- let's throw everything at this to make sure that the leader of the free world gets healed. i think you bring up an interesting point for later because we have not had this discussion fully about therapeutics and vaccines for coronavirus when they are ready to go, they need to be ready to go for everybody. that is not something that we have explicitly agreed upon as a society. we don't do it for other medications and we don't do it for vaccines. it's a conversation you and i will continue to have. thank you for joining me this morning. joining me now is democratic congressman andy kim of new jersey. in addition to being on the
6:16 am
small business committee, congressman king is on the committee for coronavirus crisis. he has extensive national security credentials. served as a security adviser in afghanistan and in the obama administration and it is in that capacity that i've invited you here this morning, congressman kim, in addition to the fact that you're a congressman and you know a lot about coronavirus. there is a national security element to the idea that in the last 24 hours i have tweeted that an adviser to the president, a counselor to the president, the president, the president's wife, and three united states senators have all contracted coronavirus from events that we can probably trace over the course of the last seven days. at some juncture, congressman, this starts moving into the category of is there a national security problem here with so many top level people in our government being failed by an
6:17 am
entirely preventible disease. >> thank you for having me. you're right. this is something that we have to pay a lot of attention to. as someone who worked at the white house before on the national security council i know it is so important. we base our lives and our decision making and our effort around the president of the united states. and where he is, what time zone he is, what the next schedule he is following, so it's so important that this chain of command is crystal clear and that the staff at the white house at the pentagon and elsewhere know exactly what to do. we know that we have many threats that we are facing as a country, and we cannot let our guard down. >> let me ask you this. we were just talking about the treatment regimen for the president and, again, i don't think you get a lot of objection from anybody no matter where you stand on the political spectrum that senior people in government are essential and we should do everything that we can to keep
6:18 am
them healthy. it's a different debate as to whether we should have those things available for every american. i believe we should. more importantly, these people who have said that they are positive for coronavirus were not doing the basics. you would think if you were trying to keep the leader of the free world safe, that if the rest of us have to wash our hands often, he should wash his hands all the time. if the rest of us need to stay 6 feet away, he should stay 60 feet away. on tuesday he accused joe biden of wearing the biggest mask he is when he's 200 feet away from people. i don't want to say anybody deserved this but there were obvious ways to prevent the transmission of this disease. >> that's something that i hope we take from this moment. when we recognize and see that the most protected building in our country was penetrated by this virus, that we know how no one here is invincible. we need to make sure that this moment hopefully now becomes a
6:19 am
unifying moment for our country where we rally around the try and true public health techniques that everyone has been talking about over and over again of social distancing, kwa wearing a mask, you cannot have testing only strategy that the white house has put forward. that's something where we need to make sure we have humility to understand just how vulnerable we are and hopefully this is a galvanizing moment for our country to push forward together and have that concentrated singular strategy and response. >> i guess my question to you is why do you think it will happen? logic would dictate that that's true. this should be a turning point. this white house and this administration has been acting like this isn't a serious problem despite 210,000 dead americans. despite 7 million people with the infection. despite an additional 50,000 who
6:20 am
got this yesterday and additional 1,000 who died. i know what you think should happen. do you think there's any likelihood that happens that suddenly america takes this thing more seriously from the top down and we have a proper all of government response? >> i like how you phrase that. you're talking about this as can i explain why it would happen? hone honestly, i can't. what i would have to say is it must happen. we have to make sure this happens. we have over 200,000 lost. we are fearing a second wave of this virus. i know in new jersey we're very concerned about that. even in my district, we're starting to see some increases there. so we have to as a country rally around. i just really hope that leadership across the board, the white house, and everywhere else use this as a pivot point to make sure that we are doing that. if not, we will continue to see the death poll increase. i heard it from secretary azar yesterday.
6:21 am
now we need actions, not just words. >> well, i hope the national security establishment is having this discussion this morning because if we're not going to think about it for political reasons, at least think about it from a national security perspective. thank you. democratic congressman andy kim of new jersey. there's a coordinated effort to contact anyone who has been in close proximity to the president including everyone who attended a fund-raiser at trump's new jersey golf club on thursday. we'll bring you an update after this. look here, it's your very own all-in-one

6:25 am
president trump has spent much of the pandemic defying proper covid safety protocol and now that he's tested positive for the virus, contact tracers have their work cut out for them. local officials in states like ohio and new jersey where the president held a fund-raiser at his golf club are working to track those who were in close contact with them including getting a list of staff, event participants and anyone else who may have been at the club. we're joined now from new jersey to help run through what steps local officials are having to take. good morning, my friend. nice to see you. what have you learned? >> reporter: good morning. it's a beautiful day out here. we're learning that the efforts are moving forward quite quickly according to new jersey's governor but they are still working on getting that full list of names because as we are learning, hundreds of people came out to this event. this was the last event that trump attended before announcing
6:26 am
that he did test positive for covid-19 and we're learning that first city, county officials reached out to get those names and the state reached out to the white house. they are working in concert with getting those names. he says new jersey's governor says he's confident they will be able to contact each person. and then from there advising each attendee to quarantine and, of course, get tested themselves becomes the step for tracers which is to contact each person that that person has been in contact with since thursday. so it's going to be quite a long process and, of course, as you mentioned, it's also the national effort to trace since all of the events that the president has been to in the past week in general. >> right. it's a good way to understand that this is expediential contract tracing relates to everybody who might have been in contact with the president and everyone they've been in contact with so the numbers could be very big.
6:27 am
good to see you. thank you. there's a call to action. this past week the president sent a message to the proud boys. a violent far right extremist group. it was no accident. the message was heard loud and clear. [ thunder rumbles ]
6:28 am
6:29 am
[ engine rumbling ] [ beeping ] [ engine revs ] uh, you know there's a 30-minute limit, right? tell that to the rain. [ beeping ] for those who were born to ride, there's progressive.
6:30 am
the unfair money bail system. he, accused of rape. while he, accused of stealing $5. the stanford rapist could afford bail; got out the same day. the senior citizen could not; forced to wait in jail nearly a year. voting yes on prop 25 ends this failed system, replacing it with one based on public safety. because the size of your wallet shouldn't determine whether or not you're in jail. vote yes on prop 25 to end money bail.
6:31 am
when it comes to supporters like white supremacists, president donald trump has a problem. a problem on full display at this week's disastrous presidential debate. >> are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups. >> give me a name. stand back and stand by but i'll tell you what, i'll tell you what, somebody has got to do
6:32 am
something about antifa and the left. >> the proud boys are a group described as white nationali ii heard that message from donald trump this week loud and clear. they heard it as a signal. a directive stand by. they, in fact, adopted trump's words as a slogan using stand back and stand by as a de facto rallying cry. they are making t-shirts and hats out of it. now some republicans wonder if president trump misspoke at the debate and others argued he's not quick enough on his feet to deliver a message like that to white nationalist supporters. come on. it took him a full two days of being hounded about this directive to the proud boys and his failure to condemn white is
6:33 am
up supremacy before he said it. trump made his position on white supremacy clear in the aftermath of the charlottesville, virginia, unite the white rally after a gathering of extremists carrying torches after a white supremacist drove his car into peaceful counterprotesters and killed one of them. donald trump said they were very fine people on both sides. donald trump's racism problem is a dangerous one because white supremacy is violence. when the president of the united states says signals he doesn't condemn white supremacists, those signals are not loud. the founder of the proud boys said he saw the president's remarks as a call to action. "i think he was saying that if antifa burns down cities again, go in and fight them.
6:34 am
i think he said i appreciate you and his support. that's what the proud boys think. just to be clear, that's the leader of a violent extremist group saying he's taking his cucue s directly from the president. if you believe this is an accident on the part of the president, i can assure you that it's not. nbc reported this week on internal documents from the trump administration showing that federal law enforcement officials were directed to make public comments sthympathetic t kyle rittenhouse. joining me now, former fbi special agent and also with us a community organizer who had her life forever changed by right waning extremist groups.
6:35 am
good morning to both of you. thank you for being here. rebecca, let me start with you. what is it that you are up to that got you targeted by right-wing extremists? >> good morning. i had spoken out strongly against the para military activity that had taken to the treats of my hometown really fueled by conspiracy theories and misinformation around antifa coming to town and really just opposing the black lives matter messaging and as a result of speaking out against that illegal activity, i was targeted with really hundreds of intimidating messages or threats to my life. we have a lot of work to do in america around accountability of our law enforcement. we're having that conversation
6:36 am
right now. these para military groups are accountable to no one. it was really disturbing to see those kind of conspiracy theories really come to life on the streets of my hometown and, you know, make me feel that i am not safe living there anymore. particularly when the local leadership, lois lerner officials sort of patted those folks on the back and condoned their active and thanking them for protecting us from an imaginary threat. >> just to be clear, this isn't just like i get sometimes the random twitter threat. this is actually specific to where you live. these are people around you? >> that's right. i mean, we're getting empty bullet casings left near our
6:37 am
vehicles and on our front doorstep. i have been a political organizer for many years in the community. it's a fairly small town. i didn't feel safe even walking out on the streets. i know that i wasn't alone. there were local business owners, people of color, really anyone that spoke out publicly against this para military activity faced similar kinds of threats. you know now what we're seeing is it kind of morphing into threats against some of our public health officials over covid restrictions. it is a desire to come out and show force. we're not having productive conversations when run of these parties is, you know, at the end of a barrel of a gun. >> no kidding. no stranger to actual personal
6:38 am
threats, but the center actually studies this. you are understanding the degree to which american federal officials need to take the extremist threat seriously and it's been a bit of an uphill battle for you to convince authorities that the islamic extremist threat which donald trump made part of his election platform is not nearly as serious and americans are not as at risk to that as they are to the homegrown threat. >> good morning. you are correct. as a matter of fact, after 9/11 more people were killed by white supremacist than by jihadis and today we see the white supremacist operating the same as in the '90s. they coordinate across national boundaries. they meet together in different places in the u.s. and around europe. they go to get experience and
6:39 am
come back and the international networks in places like ukraine which is like their own afghanistan and they coordinate their activities even though they are not one. we've seen that in charlotteville, pennsylvania, and new york. don't get me wrong. what happened during the debate on tuesday was shocking. this is a bullhorn. it was president trump who said that. imagine you were telling a leader in the middle east to condemn isis and he looks at the camera and was at a loss for words and said stand down and stand by. what would be the reaction of the united states? what would be the reaction of members of congress?
6:40 am
what would be the member of the state department and treasury? this is what happened yesterday. white supremacist is only a danger for the united states. it is actually a danger for most of the western world. germany is dealing with this problem. england declared groups and organizations that have chapters here in the united states. let me tell you something else. the trump administration itself national strategy mentioned white supremacist as one of the biggest threats against national security in the united states. also the fbi director just recently said the number one threat domestically is white supremacist. the same thing for the state department for the very first time ever declared a white supremacist organization as a
6:41 am
terrorist organization. they coordinate activities of white supremacist in the united states. it's a domestic threat, a terrorism threat, and a foreign counterintelligence threat and it was shocking that the president of the united states would just look at the camera and be at a loss for words and not know what to say stand down, stand by. this is a bullhorn. >> that's fascinating. i'm glad you brought up that point. the anti-defamation league used to be out in front but now the fbi fully agree with you. it's not just that there's a threat and danger of the government not doing the right thing but now you have the president sending the opposite signal that he should be. thanks to both of you for your analysis. both of you are subject to threats from some of these group so please stay safe.
6:42 am
follow both of these people. that's what it's like to live under threat from dangerous groups. a peaceful transfer of power is not always easy but for more than 200 years, america got it done. in 2020, we have a president and some members of congress who refuse to commit to it and that is a truly scary thought.
6:43 am
6:44 am
thomas jefferson called his election the ref using volution. it was the first time power in america passed from one power to another and despite his use of the word revolution, that transfer while steeped in bitter conflict, was entirely peaceful. john adams seamlessly handed the presidency to his fiercest political rival, thomas jefferson, without incident. in his inaugural address,
6:45 am
jefferson declared every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. we're called by different names of the same principle. we are all republicans. we are all federalist. jefferson had a way with words and knew the country needed healing. that's a stark contrast from what we saw and heard this week. you wouldn't think something like this would be necessary but on tuesday the house of representatives adopted a resolution proclaiming support for a peaceful transfer of power. that came six days after president trump was asked if he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power. he responded with, well, we'll have to see. what happened next in congress is even more interesting to me. congressional lawmakers adopted the resolution in a bipartisan 397-5 vote. the five opposing votes came from republicans.
6:46 am
this all started when a reporter asked trump will you commit to a peaceful transfer of power. the only two possible answers in a democrats are yes or hell yes. similarly, when a vote that simply reads this chamber reaffirms its commitment to the orderly and peaceful of power called for in the constitution of the united states. the only two possible responses are yes or for the traditionalists, yae. it's america and it's what we do. without equivocation. trump was wrong to respond the way he did and his response may provoke violence. don't follow him down this road of anti-democratic impulses.
6:47 am

president trump and the first lady contracting
6:50 am
coronavirus is just the latest turn in an election year that has been full of historic uncertainty. with just 31 days remaining until decision day 2020, covid cases are spiking in half the states in the nation. nearly 210,000 people inmorning 210,000 people in the united states have died from covid-19. more than 7.3 million have been infected. prior to contracting covid-19 trump worked tirelessly to downplay the dangers of the virus. first, by flooding the air waves and our twitter feed with falsehoods and debunk con spir cease about mail-in ballots and then by threatening not to step in. >> will you pledge you will not declare victory? president trump. >> i'm urging my supporters to go into the polls and watch very carefully because that's what has to happen.
6:51 am
i am urging them to do it. i am urging my people. i hope it's going to be a fair election. if it's a fair election. >> you're urging what. >> i am 100% on board. if i see tens of thousands of ballots being manipulated, i can't go along with that. >> 12 democratic governors issued a joint statement saying quote all valid ballots cast in accordance with state and local laws and if trump loses, he must leave office. jay inslee. he's a former 2020 democratic presidential candidate. good to see you. thank you for being with us. >> you bet. >> what's the message you're trying to get across? on tuesday joe biden said very clearly if he loses he has to leave office. if i don't win the election, i accept that outcome.
6:52 am
we've not had to deal with this before. what's the message? >> simple. it's not mutually exclusive to hope that they recover and hope we recover this virus spreading from the white house. the super spreader event was not the only risk because in some sense a larger national risk is the fundamental risk to democracy because not only did he make that unbelievable statement about the peaceful transition of power, but perhaps more importantly he is currently trying to strip the right to vote for hundreds of thousands of people from my state and millions of people across the united states and this is an unbelievably dangerous assault on democracy. we have hundreds of thousands of people whose votes count and he
6:53 am
is trying to take away the right of those people to have their ballots counted and then he is setting up america for a constitutional crisis of asking republican legislators once he's created this anxiety and doubt, even worse to potentially send republican slates of legislators that do not follow the vote count and try to get to the house of representatives. that would be one of the most extreme threats to democracy i can imagine. we will be able to block it in washington because we have a democratic legislature and a decent court. i'm very concerned if he had been successful in creating the virus of doubt about these ballots that other republican legislators will create this constitutional crisis. the answer is to vote and make the margin big enough that they would be embarrassed not to count them.
6:54 am
>> the president talks about seattle, the fbi. report in the washington post, the justice department and fbi are planning for election day violence. stand back of the proud boys. something you had to face in washington in addition to coronavirus. how are you thinking about that, about what happens if we do not have a result on election night or these things that you're saying the president might do come to pass? >> we're keeping our eye on the ball and fighting covid which is our goal right now and we're doing it. we've got almost zero help from the president who has consistently tried to downplay and ignore this problem and we're asking people to do what is necessary and has worked for, you know, a couple centuries now, which is to vote and count the votes. if we do those two things democracy is going to survive this four years of chaos and
6:55 am
anarchy and constant lies. i believe we will get through this. we have to vote. we have to raise our voices. that's one of the reasons i asked ten other governors to join me in this statement. we need everyone to raise our voices in warning. we need a lot of paul reveres out there that voter suppression is coming. electoral delegations might be coming to congress. this is not like the dark fear of conspiracy. it's out in the open. donald trump said, this is what i'm going to do. we must stop him. we are guardians of something precious here which is our democratic process. >> governor, i would like to talk about climate stuff. it came up for the first time in a presidential debate. >> thank goodness. >> i want to talk about that. you have helped that become a major discussion. washington governor jay inslee.
6:56 am
breaking news from the white house, the president's personal physician is going to be providing an update on president trump's condition at 11 a.m. eastern time at walter reed. we'll be following it right here on msnbc. that is all for today. tomorrow i'm in fremont, ohio, for velshi across america. tomorrow 8 to 10 a.m. eastern right here on msnbc. coming up on "am joy" maria-teresa kumar speaks with olivia troyea. former pence aide. ppened.
