which believe it or not appears to be in play and surpass the state's 2016 voting total all with just early votes. tomorrow i'll be live in philadelphia for the final stop on our special series velshi across america. donald trump is holding not one, not two, not three, but four events in pennsylvania. as you can tell, pennsylvania is gearing up to be one of the most influential states in election. there are of course many avenues for biden and trump to win to get 270 electoral votes. it's much harder for trump if pee doesn he doesn't win in pennsylvania. shenanigans are starriting. plan on delaying the counting of mail i

mail-in ballots on election day. a state trump one in 2016 but just 44,000 votes. a tipping point state is going to have delayed results. as the new york city succinctly put it, facing gap in pennsylvania, trump camp tries to make voting harder. it's the only way he can win. it's just one instance of many that are right out in the open of donald trump and his family exploiting this extremely deadly pandemic, in this case suppressing a safe way of voting. in a move that would be laughable if it weren't so sad and pathetic and offensive. the white house office of science and technology lists in an official statement, quoting ending the covid-19 pandemic.

from the outset of the covid-19 pandemic, the administration has taken desesive action to understand and treat the disease. the trump administration has done none of these. hospitals and icus at or near capacity in several states, an astonishing 98,583 new cases reported on friday alone, the second day there were 90,000 new covid-19 cases in america. faced with his own failure, an ever more desperate and deranged trump is scraping beyond the bottom of the barrel. >> we will deliver a safe vaccine to the american people

in just a number of weeks, couple of weeks. happening very fast. you know, without it we're still rounding the corner. we have it. but without it we round the corner. you know, our doctors get more money if somebody dies from covid. you know that, right? with us, when in doubt, choose covid. no, it's true. they'll say, organization, ith, what he said. it's like $2,000 more. you get more money. this could only happen to us. that's the current president of the united states who is up for reelection in three days blaming doctors for the high death count of americans on his own watch. doct he says doctors are in the covid game for the money. here's joe biden. >> dr. fauci, who has been not

treated very well by the president, who has been with three other presidents in the same role, one of the most respected guys in the world, he's called for a mask mandate. this isn't a political statement of us wearing these masks. for god sakes, it's a patriotic duty. the reason you're wearing the mask is not to save yourself but to save your neighbor, the person across from you. but still donald trump refused to listen to the science. he's politicized the race for vaccine as well. he said before i'm not going to shut down the economy, i'm going to shut down the virus. >> meanwhile trump said he want to hold an election night event at the white house. plans have been under way since trump last held a political event there. his gop acceptance speech. tipping his trend of fleecing the american taxpayer. it comes as there are increased fierce about what may transpire

postlen postelection day with trump continues to imply and falsely saying the only way he can lose is if there is massive voter fraud, something that doesn't exist, which his sport sport - t supporters fully believe does. we all have a choice. in three days or some time after that we will learn the fate of the future of this democracy. joining me is laticia james. she is developing a long list of actions taken by trump that she would like joe biden to undo should he become the president of the united states. attorney general james, good to

see you. thank you for being with us. i want to remind our viewers. you were elected, in part, on a promise of going after donald trump's illegality mu itity much played out that "the new york times" has been talking about that wasn't properly declared. what's your plan for donald trump if he loses the election? >> first, ali, thank you for having me this morning. let me just remind individuals it really critical and important that they vote and that there's no right more sacred and cherished than the right to vote in a free society and it's important every voice be heard and i encourage everyone to go out and vote. please, please go out and vote. again, in new york, we are -- we've had an election protection team that is protecting the right of all individuals to exercise their right to vote and

we are anticipating all options, legal and otherwise, during this election season and in its aftermath. and hopefully this president of the united states will engage in a peaceful transition of power in an event that he loses. we are preparing in new york and across this nation with other attorney generals options in the event that there is unrest in our country. >> and all sorts of people have put forward the idea that donald trump has greater interest in winning this election than most presidents up for reelection because it acts as something of a shield against legal action taken against him or criminal action taken against him. what happens to donald trump if he does finally concede this election and he is private citizen donald trump as it relates to you as the attorney general of new york in. >> well, in new york, as you know, we have an investigation against the trump organization related to financial

impropriety. that investigation is ongoing. we will continue that investigation and at this point in time there's nothing more that i can say other than the fact this they have used every legal attempt to block and deny us information and to witnesses. we filed requests to compel and we were success. we have the opportunity to question eric trump and we are continuing to review all of the documents they have submitted and other witnesses as well. we look forward to questioning them also. >> and to be clear, without telling me any details about the investigation, you are not subject to any other types of rules. there is no immunity that someone can present the president with that limits your ability to pursue these investigations and put whatever charges forward you are see fit. as the attorney general of new york, you're not governed by the department of justice or any federal rules? >> in response to our motion to compel, they raised a number of

defenses, including certain immunities but they were all denied by the federal court judge and our motion to compel was successful and, again, we have the opportunity to interview and ask questions to eric trump and we were able to secure certain documents that we are reviewing. our investigation is ongoing and despite the fact that during my campaign i didn't mention that in fact i would be reviewing the conduct and the actions of president donald trump, those were just comments. the reality is is that as the attorney general, i am guided by the law and the facts and political affiliation and political views are left at the door. it is based again at the law and the facts and quite honestly it was the testimony of mr. coen, mr. trump's on attorney that laid bare some of these alleged improprieties. because most of his properties

are in the state of new york, it's my responsibility to engage in an investigation with respect to those wrong doings. >> i want to take you back to the beginning when you talk about the protections in place in new york for voters. it's not the same all over the country. i wonder if you have been dealing with other attorney generals general on this. there florida, male voters are having flagged at two times the rate of white voters and youngers voters, it seems they're going after individual group of voters. >> they're focusing on voters of color and young are voters. we are working with civic organizations on the ground to protect, again, that cherished

liberty, the most cherished libertys are and that is the right to vote. it's unfortunate this administration, this president of the united states would undermine and suppress that basic right. we are here to defend that basic right. we are seeking to assure that all votes are counted, not only in new york but all across this country. it is unfortunate, it's regrettable that this president and his army of attorneys are challenging those votes and making it more difficult for people of color and young people to vote. it's important that everyone, everyone go out and vote during this early voting season, drop off your ballots at the board of elections, your respective board of elections. if you have dropoff boxes, please do not mail them at this moment and on election day, i urge everyone to stand in line in quiet dignity and defines to what this president and his administration is doing.

it's, again, add vrs verse to o values and who we are as americans. it importa it's important that we count every vote and that the american people decide this election and it will join my colleagues, particular will i in those battleground states so that the same thing happens in those states as well. >> stand in line in quiet dignity and defines. that -- defiance. that is what need to keep in mind for those who are voting. >> thank you, ali. >> one of the states that donald trump flipped in 2016, right now biden is polling ahead, with the latest survey showing biden up 17 points, sickgnificant li oule

the margin of error. joining me now is the democratic congresswoman gwen moore of wisconsin. she along with others helped introduce biden at a campaign event in milwaukee yesterday. good to see you again. thank you for being with us. what's the outlook for the next few days in wisconsin as far as you can see? >> hey, ali, we are voting in dignity and defines. i'm loving it. i'm having such a good time watching your guest today and latisha james, joyce vance. powerful women here. we were very disappointed of course in 2016 when we saw the vote drop in milwaukee in some areas as much as 43%. but we're on track now for having maybe a 70% turnout. >> wow. >> we have -- right.

we have a couple hundred thousand votes banked already through early voting here in the city of milwaukee through early voting and absentee ballots that have been returned. and of course we only had 250,000 votes in the city of milwaukee in 2016 and already we have 200,000 banked with today and tomorrow left for early vote and of course the same-day voting. >> let me ask you about safety and security in voting. we've got tension around the country, we've got a lot of cities who are planning for tension. we've got the national guard with plans and you are in a state that has seen some violence over the last several months. how do you process how that may go down on election night and the days following. >> well, ali, thank god we don't

have open carry laws that would permit that kind of intimidation, but we are not naive about the prospect of voter intimidation. i think our state attorney general made it very, very clear early on that we would not tolerate voter intimidate. but as an antidote to that and bringing a bright spot on this, we've got all kinds of activities planned and we're executing. we have the divine nine sororities doing strolls to the polls with their stepping. we're going to have people with the sandwich card board, ordering pizza to keep people in line, if necessary. we are planning some affirmat e affirmative, in your face, on the street, i have a sound truck to go through those wards where

the turnout is not as good as we expect it to be so we're going to mix old school campaigning with the new school technology because we know where those outstanding ballots are. we know who has not voted in person. you talk about a battlefield. this is a battle for the soul of the nation and it's happening right here in wisconsin. and, you know, we are relying on our right to vote and law enforcement to protect our voters and we're going to protect each other. we're going to vote in dignity and defiance. >> mm-hmm. gwen moore, it is always a pleasure to talk to, even though you and i have talked over the last several months about things that haven't been enjoyable. it almost makes you feel good for those of you who haven't

done it yet, you get to take gwen moore's words and la tischia's words and take that with you to the polls to do your civic duty. >> vote! it's a power thing! >> that's right. >> we do have sad news this morning. legendary actor sir sean connery has died. he is best known for his role as the aforementioned super spy in the 007 super spy. he's also played indiana jones and in "the untouchables." he just celebrated his 90th birthday in august. we' we take a look at his life and

legacy. >> reporter: sean connery was the first and for legions of fans, the best. the ultimate british spy james bond. >> did you have any idea it would grow what it did become? >> no. >> the creator called him an overgrown stunt man. he joined the navy but his rugged good looks got him noticed. first in a mr. universe contest. >> show me a mr. universe pose. >> reporter: but there was a world beyond bond, connery, the character actor. >> he send one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. >> unforgettable and oscar worthy. >> reporter: at the height of

his superstardom, his career nearly imploded when remarks made in the 60s resurfaced in the 80s. >> you think it's good to slap a woman? >> no, i don't think it's good. >> you don't think it's bad? >> i don't think it's that bad. i think it depend on entirely the circumstances and if it merits it. >> the damage was short lived. the movie rolls kept come being. -- coming, like the sexiest man of the year. >> 67, slightly overweight. i'm not very good at expressing what i think about me. >> reporter: presidents honored him, the queen knighted him. the scottish legend immortalized on late night. after half a century on screen, connery retired from acting for good. >> i don't look back very much to be honest. >> reporter: no matter the age,

always bond, james bond. >> another record surge in the coronavirus cases in the united states, the president continues to do nothing, but there was never a plan to begin with. coming up ahead, i'll speak with a former member of the white house coronavirus task force who says the president deliberately lied and failed to lead this nation. zzzquil night pain. because pain should never get in the way of a restful night's sleep. new zzzquil night pain. silence pain, sleep soundly. one of the worst things about a cois how it can make you feel. but, when used at the first sign, abreva can get you back to being you in just 2 and a half days.

on april 18th of this year,

1,520 americans died of coronavirus. only days earlier, 40 states were under stay at home orders. it had been a month since a global pandemic had been declared. april 18th was the date by which president donald trump said america would be open and jarrod kushner said trump's push to reopen was a way of getting the country back from the doctors. science was losing to trump's impulsive and irrational decision making. kushner continued saying we've now put out rules to get back to work. trump's now back in charge, it's not the doctors. why would you want doctors to be in charge of a pandemic instead of a real estate professional

without any medical background. it's the kind of thinking that explains the slow erosion of dr. anthony fauci in favor of dr. atlas who pushes junk science but who defers to trum. even after getting coronavirus, trump won't get behind wearing a mask. he says america has as many cases as we do because we test a lot, too much, he says. he says herd immunity could be the solution and we are rounding the corner on the virus, which is only true if you think what's around the corner is hell. in three days his claim that we'll have a vaccine by election day will join the 220,000 lives that have been tracked in one

term. two days ago when america hit a record number of infections, 90,000 in one day, trump's said the numbers are almost nothing. almost nothing. tell that to the families of the 971 people who reportedly died in america on that same day. this is the kind of leadership and decision making that made the trump administration the abject failure that it was. they risked our lives, not just with coronavirus but with health care and with foreign policy and with the climate. those failures, their failures, are now our problem. when you fail this big, this much, people die. when you fail this big, you're not entitled to a second chance. . with secret you're unstoppable. no sweat. try it and love it or get your money back. secret. ♪ all strength, no sweat

this week a memo released by the white house science office listed ending the covid-19 pandemic as a major accomplishment of trump's first term. we all know that's complete and

utter garbage. yesterday alone the virus killed nearly 1,000 americans and infected nearly 100,000 more. covid is one of the biggest failures of trump's presidency so he prefers not to talk about it or to talk about how the media talks about it. now there's reporting his administration is holding back information from the public. npr is reporting the administration is withholding information about u.s. hot spots right now. about 24% of u.s. hospitals are using more than 80% of their icu capacity and more hospitals have joined their ranks in recent weeks. joining me is olivia troy, a task force adviser to vice president mike pence. good to see you again. thank you for being with us. i was quite shocked in reading the transcripts of the recordings that jared kushner made with bob woodward in which he said that we're taking this back from the doctors. give me some context on this.

>> ali, jared kushner and the president have been manipulating this response from day one. you know, when i heard those woodward tapes from jared kushner, i thought to myself this is what jared kushner has been saying in meetings, this is how he has behaved. i have personally witnessed this kind of dialogue where jared himself felt like we were at war with everyone else and they did not want any responsibility on this response. and they purposely go out and they undermine dr. fauci, dr. birx and everyone who tries to speak the truth on this. so hearing hip say thm say that for the course and now you're seeing every play out. >> so the concern is there's a percentage of people who go to donald trump's rallies and get their news elsewhere who are believing this line, that the coronavirus thing is a media creation, it's a hoax, it's meant to bring donald trump

down, meanwhile we're just dealing with numbers and facts. we had 98,000 new cases yesterday, 958 people reported died. what does it get the white house to get this wrong or to have wrong information out there? i don't really understand. i get that it whips up the crowd at a trump rally, but what else does it get them? >> it doesn't get them anything. it actually just hurts americans. that's what i have -- it's just incredibly frustrating to watch the president of the united states actively put people at risk for his own personal agenda. and no one in his inner circle of influence actually cares. that is what is even more disturbing right now. you have a group of people in the white house who have just checked out from the virus and who are going to continue to play it down because they know they failed. >> when you say checked out, the president hasn't been at one of these meetings in a long time. politico is reporting that vice president pence has been absent

to covid-19 planning calls for a month. the campaign has completely overtaken this. is there some thinking as far as you know maybe you know from people who are still there that they'll win the election and then they'll pick it up or there will be a vaccine and this will all end? the president keeps saying this week we're rounding a corner. there's no apparent rounding of any corner here except a corner downhill into the hell. >> the president has been trying to wrap this up since probably springtime or may. i was actually personally asked to write a report for the vice president's office saying that it was over, that we were going to declare victory and wrap it up. fortunately that report never got released probably because they realized we were having increasing cases spiking. right after the vice president wrote an op-ed in "the wall street journal" claiming there was no second wave. we're clearly not out of the first wave. we're hitting is serious period

in the winter and they're going to keep moving forward or they'll say we have a vaccine but the fact of the matter is the distribution of the vaccine is going to take a long time. it's going to take time to happen and these hospitals and health care works aers are goino be continued to be overwhelmed while fighting this virus. >> was there a kazoo from the minutesto flintstones saying why don't we be really, really honest about what our difficulties are going to be and do like churchill did and rally the troops. was there anybody push aing for that? >> well, the kazoos in the room, as you say, were dr. birx and dr. fauci. you have seen them completely blocked repeatedly and now you see dr. fauci, thanks goodness

that he goes out on the media and tells people what they need to hear and what we need to be doing and you see dr. birx, she's nowhere near the white house right now. i'm grateful that she isn't. she's out traveling right now out west and pounding the pavement and getting the message out to local communities. those are the only kazoos we have left. they're out there in the public and i'm grateful they're talking to people directly. this white house, if they were back here, they clearly won't allow it. >> give me the math on how this might work. if joe biden wins the presidency at some point in the next several days, we learn that to be true, can he start to cobble together the team that will do what you were hoping to do, to take this seriously and put something into palace? obviously he wouldn't be sworn in until january. but can this train be put back on the track and lead to something that is a better result than what we are seeing

right now? >> el wiwell being i'm certainl hoping and praying that joe biden gets elected. it the only way that we're going to turn this thing around. he will take it seriously and he has experts already assembled that have been trying to do the right thing. and listening to them and getting ahead of this and trying to curb the spread, that will go a long way, starting with just supporting him with the mask wearing. and moving away from the political division that this white house has done on this response. and, you know, i'm not going to lie, it's going to be an uphill battle for a while for all of us, for all of america against this virus. we are going to be in this for months and it's going to take us, you know, all of us to unite and all of us to have each other's backs and protect each other. i think that joe biden will be delivering that message and he will, as hard as it will be, i think he will know that this is where we have to come together and he's got to listen to science and i know he will.

>> and we can all come together and we can do this together and we did pull together. i just don't know why that wouldn't be the implication for americans who have proved over and over again that they have the ability to face down adversity. we just need to be told the truth. thank you for doing that, olivia, at great risk to yourself. you have been one of those pe people who has told us the truth, a former adviser to vice president mike pence. thank you, olivia. >> we're counting down to election day and making a stop in another key battleground state, arizona, where early voting came to a close on friday. we'll bring you the latest from there right after this break. e there right after this break

with three days until election day, many americans are turning their attention to swing states and states that this year have come into play. the typically red state of arizona where i was, you'll recall, just two weeks ago is up for grabs as demographic shifts over the years have turned that state more blue. with me is vaughn hillyard, who has basically been living in the sought west and spending a lot of his time in arizona. a lot of people looking at arizona this year to see what happens. >> yeah, ali. i know you have these similar conversations earlier this month there. around this idea particularly here in arizona, but also in texas. there is this idea for so long

among organizers on the ground was this hope, this belief they could turn arizona blue. but it wasn't until 2018 when the democrat won the u.s. senate seat. the superintendent of public instruction, the secretary of state and that is when organizers here now tell me they were able to truly resonate with folks that this is real. we have the potential to have a truly national implications here from our work. i want to introduce you to one woman who i met up with just yesterday. marilyn wilbur. she was laid off from the university just down the road. she was a supervisor at the dock, at the university's memorial union. when it turned to what she'd do next, she started hitting doors in the heart of summer. >> i know it's making a difference because people are getting out there and i see the numbers on the news and people are voting early. and i'm like that's us, that's us doing that because we're the

only ones out here doing that. so it makes me proud and happy that all of our work and stuff just didn't go to the wayside. all of my military service just didn't go to the wayside because every day i put on that uniform, that was for your right to vote, your right to freedom of speech. when people vote, that max kes feel proud. >> marilyn served four tours in iraq. she's a mother now here. she realized she could have a stake in this. she's walked over 70 miles this summer, door to door to turn out these voters here and what you're seeing from the early ballot returns is more than 70% increase over the same points four years ago in maricopa county. >> arizona will be one of those places i'm looking at real closely on election night. vaughn hillyard, nbc news political reporter. over the past two months, i traveled across america speaking to groups of voters about this

election. the most crucial race in recent memory, who are they voting for, what are they passionate about? i'm going to revisit the top moments of my tour when we come back. op moments of my tour when we come back nack for dinner. so we're using a speakerphone in the store. is that a good idea? one of the ways i do that is to get them out of the home. you're looking for a grout brush, this is -- garth, did he ask for your help? -no, no. -no. we all see it. we all see it. he has blue hair. -okay. -blue. progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents, but we can protect your home and auto when you bundle with us. -keep it coming. -you don't know him. when you bundle with us. it only takes a second for an everyday item to become dangerous. tide pods child-guard pack helps keep your laundry pacs in a safe place and your child safer. to close, twist until it clicks. tide pods child-guard packaging.

as i'm sure you might be able to guess, i love to talk but more specifically, i love talking with people. i enjoy hearing a variety of views and positions on any topic. believe me, we all become wiser by sharing those ideas with another. for the last coull of monple of i've traveled to swing states and have kfconversations with a stripes. the intent was to hear them and let them listen to each other. i will say this has been one of the most rewarding experiences i've had in covering american elections. i've seen a lot over this eight of week stretch. there were some uncomfortable

moments but also moments of hope and understanding, giving me a glimmer of hope that america right just be around the corner. here's a look back. >> i'm going to vet for president donald trump. >>trump. >> president donald trump. >> donald trump. why? because look, see the wall. >> i'm voting for joe biden. >> joe biden. >> joe biden. >> joe biden and kamala harris. >> i like the wall. i like our border security. >> he's the best thing for our country. >> i'm really excited about it. >> i'm voting for the biden harris ticket. >> we need to make sure everybody in this country has access to affordable health care. >> right now i'm telling you i'm voting for donald trump. >> he's been honest and youthful with the people. >> he has planns and he

would have. >> the president absolutely dropped the ball. >> i just have been so disappointed with what is going on in this country for the last four years. >> i've never felt this sense of fear and unrest and worry about my life in this country. >> do you think there is structural racism in policing and justice in america? >> i don't think -- yes and no. >> there is nodoubt in my mind that we have systemic racism. i have seen it. i've probably done it myself unknowingly. >> and the police that are here to protect and serve someone that looks like kelly is also someone here to protect someone that looks like me. >> i'm standing with the protesters, my black brothers and sisters.

>> my closest friends were black guys and when their cousins would come over to hang out they would send would say send that white kid inside. i don't want to hang out with him. so racism is on both sides. >> so i think it is intensified tribalism. >> we haven't been this polarized until just before the civil war. >> donald trump creates an atmosphere of you either agree with me or your wrong or you are stupid or a bad person. >> if we stay on this track for another four years, we're going to see a lot of changes in the wrong direction. >> i don't know any of you personally at all. but all i have seen from the left side is hatred for america. >> the left don't hate america. we choose to come here for a better life. my children know no other country except this. >> the problem that we have right now is that we are not talking to each other. we are not hearing each other. what we're seeing is brown skin, white skin and unfortunately
