♪♪ hitting refresh for that ruling as we come on the air, with a judge in florida set to release her decision on a special master in the donald trump mar-a-lago situation. is it going to be a light friday news dump? we don't know. we know more about what the fbi found at mar-a-lago. the inventory list going public today. plus, what a former trump ag had to say about the current justice department's handling of the whole thing. it may surprise you. two former white house lawyers appearing before the january 6 grand jury here in d.c.
12:01 pm
one of them just walked out. we will take you live to the courthouse as the house committee investigating the insurrection calls for the testimony of a former house speaker, newt gingrich, a member of the committee will join us live later this hour. this hour, the friday fizzle on what street. with the august jobs report showing more than 300,000 new jobs, why are stocks seeming to shake it off? we will answer that question in a bit. i'm hallie jackson in washington. could get busy. could stay chill. we don't know. ken dilanian is with us along with saha kapur and charles coleman. ken, let me start with you. the thing we are waiting for, we don't know when it's going to come, this filing from a federal judge who has heard arguments on whether or not to appoint an independent third party. tell us what you are watching
12:02 pm
for. the key headlines from this inventory list. >> the key question with the special master ruling is if she imposes a special master, will it only cover documents subject to attorney/client privilege? the doj says that's 60 documents. that's not going to impede this investigation. does she take on the trump argument and ask the master to review things for executive privilege, which would be unprecedented, in which the doj says there's no basis in law for and could open doors. that's what i'm watching for. in terms of the inventory, what we learned was there were -- i think it was 47 empty folders marked classified. what happened to those documents is one question. secondly, 10,000 non-classified government documents taken in violation of the presidential records act. it shows classified documents were co-mingled with the regular government documents and they were present in a number of boxes that were in that storage
12:03 pm
room after the trump lawyer told the justice department that they had done a diligent search and found no more classified documents. it underscores this is a case not just about classified documents but about lies and deceit and potential obstruction of justice. >> talk us about how they would find out what was in there. >> there's a lot of concern. the way they find out is through the traditional ways of criminal investigation. >> ask people. >> interview witnesses. we are focusing on the documents. as i have been saying, the fbi is continuing to interview witnesses. they said in an accompanying document that they filed today that they have reviewed all the documents and using it -- using the documents to further their investigation, to talk to people about them. i assume that's what's going on right now with regard to what
12:04 pm
happened to these documents that were -- may or may not have been in the empty folders. >> ken, i know you have other reporting to get to. thank you. charles, let me bring you in. we heard some reaction today from former attorney general bill barr over on fox news. i'm going to play it. i'm going to play it. i want you to hear it and i want to hear from you about it. go ahead. >> they jawbone for a year. they were deseefed on the voluntary actions taken. they then went and got a subpoena. they were deceived on that. they feel. the facts are starting to show that they were being jerked around. how long do they wait? >> that's the former head of the justice department talking about how he thinks the justice department in this instance was jerked around, he says, by his former boss, seeming to take the side of the doj. your reaction to this. >> i'm not sure whether bill barr has been visited by the ghost of justice past, but
12:05 pm
somehow he has found his integrity as a lawyer. he is speaking a very objective, very balanced truth about the fact that donald trump had every opportunity to turn these documents over and failed to do so. this directly undercuts any notion that the doj has been politicized in this whole ordeal around the search of mar-a-lago, the execution of the search warrant and recovery of the documents which should not have been here. you have a former attorney general who is a trump appointee telling the truth, being honest about the fact that donald trump, number one, should not have had these documents in his possession at mar-a-lago and number two had every chance, every consideration and courtesy extended to him around returning these documents, he failed to do so and frankly, he was dishonest with the doj about the fact that there were more documents in his possession. i'm not necessarily surprised. i'm glad that he has come around to tell the truth. but it's very telling given the
12:06 pm
fact that were it not for donald trump, he would never have been attorney general. that says a lot. >> let me ask you about the inventory list. we talk about the former president's team and their responses to some of this. they have said -- the inventory lists shows this wasn't just a lawfully executed search. they said it was a smash and grab. help us understand why clothing items might be taken in a search like this, charles. >> all of the things are going to be investigated. if there are any matches to fibers or anything of that nature that could be found on the documents or anything that can connect donald trump to actually handling the documents, because they were in close proximity, what that does it is closes the door on defense that donald trump might mount in the face of an indictment and prosecution to say, i did not know, i didn't have anything to do with this, this was someone else, this was somewhere else, i wasn't involved. that's a defense that we have
12:07 pm
seen donald trump use on several occasions before, in addition to the pure ignorance defense of, i didn't know that i wasn't supposed to have these documents. they are very strategically taking those defenses away. they will be investigating to find if there is anything, any traces of anything on both the documents and the clothes as well as -- one of the reasons why they took the passport was to basically underscore the notion that these things were in donald trump's personal possession. they weren't in these -- >> mixed together. >> it ties everything together. >> meredith, we heard from the former president's son-in-law in a new interview in which jared kushner, by the way a former senior advisor at white house, telling sky he thinks the fbi search at mar-a-lago was a paperwork issue that should have been worked out between the doj and mr. trump. i can imagine that that lines up with what you are hearing from other trump allies? >> yeah.
12:08 pm
they tried to downplay this as a record keeping matter. i think what we are learning as these inventory lists come out is the haphazard nation in which so many documents were packed up originally from the white house and then the way that, of course, they were handled when it came to mar-a-lago, being found in desk drawers or in various rooms within mar-a-lago, sort of speaks to the way that the former president has handled these documents, whether during his time at the white house or now at his own private residence. as much as they wanted to say this is about record keeping, the more that we have learned about how that record keeping was done, it certainly raises a lot of eyebrows when you have top secret documents between personal items. >> do you anticipate we will hear publically from the former president about this when he hits the road for some of these republican candidates that he is
12:09 pm
stumping for? >> he is going to be in scranton tomorrow where he is going to be campaigning for save america candidates. i have asked about this. they prepare his remarks up until he goes on stage. i don't like to be in the business of what donald trump will or will not do or will or will not say. i can imagine that this will certainly be a part of his remarks tomorrow. >> that's an excellent point. we know, as you know, as i know, what's on the teleprompter may not matter in the final result. when we talk about the keeping of records, this is something kevin mccarthy is talking about. he wants garland to provide all communications and documents related to the search to the house judiciary committee. i wonder what this signals about republicans' focus if they take the majority of the house in november. >> it tells us quite a bit about how they intend to use their power if they win control of the
12:10 pm
house. it's a remarkable letter laced with politically charges allegations without proof. we heard bill barr thinks otherwise. mccarthy is demanding that garland and wrey appear before the house judiciary committee to answer questions about the search of mar-a-lago. mccarthy complains about leaks. he says they must provide a host of documents without redactions or withholdings. it's important to remember, we are 67 days from the midterm election. everything mccarthy does has to be seen through one prism. he wants to become speaker of the house. he needs the support of a caucus that represents dark red districts packed with local trump supporters. what we see from mccarthy in this letter and in his pre-buttal is a glimpse of what we can expect if republicans win the house.
12:11 pm
right now, they can issue requests and sternly worded letters. they will have more authority, including subpoena power and oversight of the budgets. it's unclear embracing trump in this manner will help them capture the majority. there are some who see him as a liability. mccarthy's letter tells us about how he sees the dynamics. >> thank you. next up, we will take you live to the courthouse where a trump white house lawyer has just wrapped up talking with the january 6 grand jury. we will tell you what we know about what he said or perhaps didn't say. the house committee investigating the riot just asked former house speaker newt gingrich to testify. what do they want to know? we will talk about zoe lofgren

12:16 pm
right before we were walking out to come on air we saw a second trump white house lawyer wrapping up his testimony. you see him leaving. he and pat cipollone spending more than two hours inside. we know cipollone is the highest ranking white house aide that we know of that appeared in front of the grand jury. you have the house january 6 committee calling for newt gingrich to come in and testify. we are outside the courthouse. garrett, let me start with you. the grand jury appearances are often black boxes for us in the media, members of the public. do we know anything about cipollone and philbin's appearances? >> we do. it's rare that we know about
12:17 pm
what likely happened. it's because pat cipollone said it on camera before. two investigations here. the doj investigation and the house investigation into january 6. pat cipollone testified under subpoena for more than seven hours on camera to those investigators. a lot of that played during the january 6 hearing. we know that he agreed with attorney general william barr that the election was not stolen and there was not widespread fraud in the 2020 election. we know from cassidy hutchinson what he said related to donald trump going to the capitol saying he would break every law in the book if he did that. there's a big point here. it has to do with the grand jury and how much information the grand jury may be getting from pat cipollone. it's likely they are getting more information than the house investigators did because of an old supreme court case, usa versus nixon that limits the amount of executive privilege that can be exerted by a witness in a testimony for a grand jury.
12:18 pm
>> thank you. on this other development here, the house committee investigating january 6 says they are interested in some of the things that were not true, that newt gingrich said, about the 2020 election. let me play you a little bit about that. >> this looked like a setup to steal the presidency by the democrats. they were trying to steal the presidency. we should not allow them to do that. i think it's a corrupt, stolen election. financed by people like george sorros. >> there's no evidence the 2020 election was stolen. explain why the committee -- presumably it's comments like those that give context as to why the committee wants to talk with gingrich now. >> committee chairman thompson lays out a few reasons why the committee wants to speak with gingrich in this letter that was sent to him last night. thompson says the committee has
12:19 pm
email evidence that the former house speaker and longtime trump ally was advising members of trump's campaign to run tv ads pushing false claims. these false claims that georgia election workers were smuggling in suitcases of fake ballots into the polling locations after gingrich knew the election workers were facing death threats. thompson says gingrich deliberately incited anger among voters by doing this. and says, he attempted to cast doubt on the outcome of the election after voting had taken place. this letter sent to gingrich talks about an email that gingrich sent to mark meadows of night of january 6 about decertifying the election results. that was after it took hours to clear the capitol to make sure it was safe for lawmakers to come back inside to finalize the process of certifying the election results. thompson says that gingrich in
12:20 pm
this letter, quote, thought of the attack on congress and didn't pause his relentless pursuit. as far as what happens now, the committee is asking gingrich to preserve all of his communication with the trump campaign, the white house, the former president himself, around the time of the election. they're asking him to voluntarily appear for this transcribed interview with the committee the week of september 19th. judging perfect gingrich's past comments about the committee -- you played some of his comments about the election at the top -- he has actually called the committee in the past, quote, a lynch mob. this may not be a seamless process. >> i want to bring in democratic congresswoman lofgren. thank you for being back on the show. it's good to see you. >> thanks. good to be on. >> let me pick up where we left off there.
12:21 pm
you have asked -- the committee asked mr. gingrich to appear. you have not subpoenaed him. have you heard back? >> i don't believe we have heard back yet. i would hope that mr. gingrich would step forward and talk to the committee. my first day in congress was the day that newt gingrich became speaker for first time. we served together for quite a few years. a lot of things we disagree about. but he is a house of representatives guy. i would hope that he would come in and speak to this bipartisan committee about what he knows and the chairman outlined topics of discussion in the letter. >> the chairman said your committee was meeting yesterday to discuss the possibility of calling in former vice president mike pence as well as ginni thomas to talk with members of the committee. what is the decision? have you decided on whether you will ask those two to speak with
12:22 pm
you? >> when we have a decision, we will announce it. we do that through the chairman announcing subpoenas and the like. the committee rules as well as the pledge we made to each other as members is to not step outside of the boundaries of the committee rules. we meet frequently. we meet at least once a week and often more than that. we are heavily involved in making decisions and moving this process towards a conclusion. >> i hear you that you will not be making the announcement here on msnbc. can you give us insight into your rationale as to whether you would like to hear from them. is that something you want? >> personally, i would like to hear from ms. thomas. when we sent the letter inviting her, she spoke very promptly about how she was eager to come in to the committee and that if she did so, everything would be
12:23 pm
cleared up. i hope she still has that view. i hope that's true what she said. she should come in and talk to us. if it's clearing out mistakes or whatever, let's hear from her. as she promised to do. we know quite a lot about what happened with the vice president because so many of his key people came in and talked to us. but there's a few other things we could ask the former vice president. i would like to hear from him. >> you talked about just a moment ago how the committee is meeting regularly. there's a lot of work done even while members are back in their home districts during the recess. give us a sense. what should we expect? we know there's going to be at least one more public hearing in september, which here we are two days in. can you give us insight into how many you are thinking about, what you would like to see. i know you are not going to make
12:24 pm
announcements. but give us insight into the process and what we can anticipate. >> there will be at least one, as the chairman indicated. there could be two. we're not certain on that at this point. we have been working throughout the summer. we have been very careful to -- in our hearings to document and to be able to prove what we're saying. hopefully to make information known that was not previously known in a way that it's accessible and credible to the american public. that will be our standard, again. i'm not going to announce the topics. that's for the chair and vice chair to do. we hope it will be useful and informative. we are working on -- our charge was to tell the truth, find the truth and tell it. but also to make recommendations for potential changes of in law or procedures that would make the country safer. we're working on that.
12:25 pm
as i think i mentioned before, liz cheney and i have been working diligently on reforms to the electoral count act. we are almost at the end of that. we hope to work with our senate counterparts to meld the two versions and come up with the best possible answer for the country. >> let me ask you quickly because you mentioned new information and you like -- the committee likes to be on top of that. it makes me think of cassidy hutchinson. tony arenado has retired from the secret service. have you talked to him? i'm trying to get clarity. have you talked to -- >> have i personally talked to him? >> as a committee. >> we have interviewed him already. i think that's been publically revealed. >> yes. since hutchinson's testimony? >> no. we intend to talk to him again in the near future. >> the republican nominee for
12:26 pm
governor in pennsylvania, he has just sued your committee recently with his legal team arguing that because kevin mccarthy did not appoint any republicans on that committee, that the republicans that are on the committee were chosen by nancy pelosi, it has an improper makeup, so he should not be compelled to talk with your committee. what's your response? >> it's frivolous. that same issue has been raised by numerous others. every court has said that's incorrect. i think it's a delay tactic on the candidate's part. there's things that we need to know about what he did. we hope to hear from him. i hope that the court acts promptly. this is not new ground. it's been decided over and over, including at the appellate level. it's just a delay tactic. >> before i let you go, what do you make of the latest developments as it relates to
12:27 pm
theep at mar-a-lago, this list of items that were found there? >> not as a member of the january 6, because it's not really the focus of our committee, but i am concerned. one of the things that worries me is the report that they found empty envelopes that had held classified documents. where are those documents? were they returned? are they somewhere else? i think that's something that is of concern to those of us who worry that the national security of our wonderful country has been potentially compromised through the ex-president's actions. >> thank you for joining us. >> thanks very much. still ahead, what today's goldilocks jobs report means about inflation and concerns about a recession and how wall street is reacting.
12:28 pm
we will get a check on the markets a half hour before they close coming up. fore they close coming up. re eczema still disrupts my skin. despite treatment it disrupts my skin with itch. it disrupts my skin with rash. but now, i can disrupt eczema with rinvoq. rinvoq is not a steroid, topical, or injection. it's one pill, once a day, that's effective without topical steroids. many taking rinvoq saw clear or almost-clear skin while some saw up to 100% clear skin. plus, they felt fast itch relief some as early as 2 days. that's rinvoq relief. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal, cancers including lymphoma and skin cancer, death, heart attack, stroke, and tears in the stomach or intestines occurred. people 50 and older with at least one heart disease risk factor have higher risks. don't take if allergic to rinvoq, as serious reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you are or may become pregnant. disrupt the itch and rash of eczema. talk to your doctor about rinvoq.

12:31 pm
12:32 pm
jobs showing 315,000 new jobs not easing concerns in the market over inflation. president biden reacting to the jobs numbers saying he thinks inflation could be starting to ease. listen. >> bottom line is, jobs are up, wages are up, people are back to work and we're seeing some signs that inflation may be -- may be -- i'm not promising -- may be beginning to ease. >> i want to bring in sima. does it show signs that inflation may be beginning to ease? >> the latest data on inflation does suggest it's cooling a bit, led by gasoline prices falling. the surge earlier this summer, gas prices are down 20% with the price to fill up below $4 a gallon. then there's the core inflation data which exclude food and
12:33 pm
energy. it slowed in july compared to june. the commentary from jerome powell suggests he wants to see more evidence or a continuation of the trend to declare that inflation is cooling. that's why the next consumer prime index we get in mid september will be a crucial read whether prices are moderating. one concern is the housing market where rental prices continue to soar across the nation. that's priced out a lot of low income americans. that has to do with higher interest rates. people say, i'm not going to buy. i'm going to rent. >> thank you. ron, let me turn to you. janet yellen was on earlier with andrea mitchell talking about how inflation could be contained. how do you get a handle on inflation without tipping the economy into recession? she think, as you will not be surprised to hear, that we can do it. listen. >> we expect the pace of growth and job creation to slow to a
12:34 pm
more steady and sustainable rate. i'm hopeful that we can achieve a soft landing but bringing down inflation is clearly a key priority. >> do you think she's right? >> to an extent, yeah. the problem is that the federal reserve is likely to go too far in raising interest rates. 64% probability the fed will raise rate again this month. there are worries the european central bank will raise rates. when you have central banks as aggressive as they are fighting inflation, it's hard to thread that needle and get the soft landing. it's possible given today's jobs report which was a goldilocks report. indicators are turning south. the worry is as fed chair powell said in jackson hole at the end of august, they will do everything it takes to get inflation down. one or two months of data will not alter the course of the policies. >> what's the next key indicator
12:35 pm
that you are looking for? is it the fed meeting this month? >> cpi come out in a week or so. that's important. producer prices which measure at the wholesale moment. nothing will alter the course of fed policy. jay powell and others need to see several months of data suggesting that the economy is slowing down and that inflation has actually begun to fall, not just inflation expectations, not just inflation indicators but the actual data turns lower from where it is. that's what will change fed policy. which is why the markets are nervous and going into a long holiday weekend, you don't expect people to take risk with three days of no market activity. >> thank you. speaking of the holiday weekend, you know travel is picking up big time on this friday afternoon. are you still at work? if so, why? we could tell you what to expect if you are hitting the road or going to an airport. it was one of the hottest summers we have seen.

12:40 pm
and it's available now on ancestry. new reporting from nbc news today takes a closer look at how climate change is hitting some communities harder than others. a study showing people from lower income neighborhoods in l.a. are more likely to end up in the e.r. from the dangerous heat waves that have been hitting the state than people from neighborhoods where the average income is more. this is super interesting. talk us through it. people understand there's a link between climate change and inequity. >> reporter: this is supposed to be a heat map about temperatures. it might as well be a map showing economic inequity. in a lot of places that boils down to a lack of trees and a lack of shade. think about that. neighborhoods without trees are seeing more hospital visits than shady, more affluent areas.
12:41 pm
in many of the cases, that dates back to things like red lining that happened decades ago. on the eve of its biggest heat waste of the year, i headed out across los angeles, where the climate is causing a health crisis. the first stop was to meet martha, the city of los angeles's first heat officer. los angeles has a chief heat officer. why? >> because heat is our primary climate hazard. >> reporter: the extreme temperatures paired with pollution are causing health problems. everything from asthma to heart disease to premature death. not everyone is facing the same risk. martha says it depends where you live. >> we have difference in geography. difference in wind. but that's the part everybody knows. what everybody doesn't know is there have been historic disinventment in neighborhoods that never got trees, shade,
12:42 pm
vegetation. >> reporter: a little experiment. 123, 125. 120 is on the pavement. 120 on that sidewalk. go over here in the shade. that grass -- 66. if we look at the building, the building is about 66, 70 degrees. >> the building not only keeps people cooler, but the utility bills are less than somebody who doesn't have shade. >> reporter: when you drive around on a hot day like this and you realize there is a correlation between the amount of trees you see in a neighborhood and the amount of people going to the hospital for heat-related stress, it makes you see the city very differently. that difference has been documented by a ucla school of public health map that tallies heat-related emergency room visits by zip there are wide disparities. >> some are three times higher.
12:43 pm
they technically should have very similar meteorological patterns. we see higher excess e.r. visits during extreme heat events. >> reporter: in order to see what some of that looks like, we will head over to the neighborhoods where there's almost no tree cover. they are expecting triple digit temperatures all week long. in northeast los angeles, we met this woman, the representative on the l.a. climate crisis council. >> we are a community where there's three freeways cutting through. >> reporter: when a heat wave comes through, people think, stay inside. use your air conditioning. the truth is, not everybody can afford it. >> yeah. we know that heat affects population by age. the two ages that are affected most by heat wave are senior citizens and college students. >> reporter: the reality is, people have been dying, people will die and for them it's too late. >> based on income, based on the
12:44 pm
age, definitely this is the place where something like that might happen. >> you laid it out, what the issue is, that it's here for the near future at least. what's the city doing about it? what's being done to fix it? >> reporter: with climate change, it's becoming very clear that this needs immediate solutions. it needs a long-term solution, too. the immediate ones are the ones we see during this heat wave. flex alerts, subsidiing low income electric bills, cooling areas in rec centers and senior centers across the city. in the long term, they are trying to plan for more green zones in areas that have been historically disinvested in. areas that have seen things like racist red lining of the past. as you know, all that takes decades to come to fruition. on top of that, on top of the difficult situation, it has to be done during a drought when water restrictions are in full

affect for many of the same areas. >> is there anything that surprised you the most in the course of reporting this? >> reporter: absolutely. when you look at those differences of about 60 to 70 degrees, when you are looking at shade, someone's house in direct sunlight and you realize somebody on a tree-lined street, it's 60 to 70 degrees cooler, that argument, turn on their air conditioning, in lower income areas, the electric bill is higher if they don't have shade. basically, poor people are paying more for electricity. that came as kind of a surprise. when you look around and see that on the city streets, it's something that stays with you. >> for sure. thank you for that great reporting. i'm glad to see you. stay cool. i know it's going to be really difficult conditions out there. >> thanks. still ahead, the great commonwealth of pennsylvania in

right now, millions of us are -- if we're not sitting behind an anchor desk, getting ready to go on the highway or fly. the airline's last big test ahead of the holiday season after getting a be real, a lot of fs earlier in the summer who dealt with delays, cancellations and with a ton of lost luggage. allison barber is at jfk in new york. you've been talking to travelers all day. i hope that they're in somewhat of a good mood. >> they were especially earlier in the day, and i will tell you and warn you for what will be an inevitable car horn that you will hear throughout the hit that as the day has progressed it's getting busier and they seem to be more and more frustrated at the traffic, honking their horns as they try to pick up friends or family for this long holiday weekend. about 12.7 million people are expected to depart u.s. airports this long holiday weekend and
12:51 pm
according to the travel website hopper, the three busiest airports will be atlanta, denver and los angeles. for people who have traveled or known someone who traveled in the summer, they have probably heard stories or experienced it themselves of cancellations and delays and not necessarily because of things that you normally expect flights to be delayed for like weather, but because of other things like staffing shortages and maintenance issues. this is a new app launched this holiday weekend by the department of transportation that's aimed at trying to alleviate some of those frustrations that many travelers haven countered this summer. it's called the airline customer service dashboard and basically what it is is it's a place where people can go and see whether or not their flight has been delayed and/or canceled and then hopefully have easier access to figure out whether or not airlines owe them any sort of compensation if the delay or cancellation was caused by something within the airline's control. all that being said, travelers we've spoken to today say they like that idea.
12:52 pm
they hope travel goes smoothly for them. for a lot of people early on they said it wasn't terrible and we'd seen a couple of people that had seen their flights delayed for about an hour and they do not need to get on the department of transportation website. listen. >> it's helpful, actually, because you know, they're canceling flights here, but my flight had a chance of canceling, of course. it was delayed an hour. >> it's good if you are flying out and you want information as far as your flight is concerned and you can have an update on issues like that. >> so it is a busy travel weekend. airports like this one are very busy. there's no question in terms of the level of busyness, and we won't know until after this weekend. hallie? >> allison barber, thank you very much. good to see you. so the commonwealth of pennsylvania in the political spotlight this labor day weekend
12:53 pm
which is, you know, considered kind of unofficially the general election season kickoff, right? as it relates to the midterm with the current and former president getting ready to make stops in pa. you have former president trump in wilkes-barre. he's hoping to boost mehmet oz, and jonathan from the philadelphia enquirer joins us now. we talked to you at the top of the show meredith mcgraw who covers donald trump. what's he going to say in his public appearance since his search of mar-a-lago and that's one piece as it relates to the bigger story ahead of the midterms. what are you watching for? >> well, as you mentioned, this is the start of the homestretch of the midterm election season and ostensibly, trump is coming to pennsylvania to rally for mehmet oz, a senate candidate
12:54 pm
that he endorsed and put, fort behind and doug mastriano, a fervent supporter of trump, but given that this is the first appearance since the fbi searched his home, you would imagine that there's going to be a lot of trump talking about trump and his own grievances and his own politics and we know he's looking ahead towards potentially running again in 2024 when pennsylvania would then be a critical state. so we're looking to see how much does he boost oz and mastriano who for different reasons could use a boost right now and a high-profile boost and how much is it for those to respond to the issues that have kept him in the spotlight again. >> we have seen and heard a lot about john fetterman this week including his first national interview since his stroke with my colleague at msnbc stephanie ruhle. he's significantly outfund raised oz. talk about the landscape of this
12:55 pm
race, rather, because you have so much attention, i think, nationally on what is a critically important senate race. >> it's probably the democrats' best chance in the country to flip a republican-held seat. fetterman has had the lead throughout and he's had a much easier primary and he's more well established in pennsylvania from the start of this campaign. some of the more recent polling has been a lot closer than some of the other polling in a four to five-point range and that's more in line with what they've been seeing. oz's biggest challenge is that he faced a lot of attacks during that primary. millions and millions of dollars spent questioning whether he was a true conservative and he's not rallied the republican base behind him in the same way that you would expect at this stage in an election, and so that's where trump's help might be important whereas he can give oz
12:56 pm
his seal of approval because he has not been able to do that and that is one of the big differences between himself and fetterman and their standing with their respective parties right now. jonathan tamari from the philadelphia enquirer. good to see you. and thanks to all of you for watching this hour on msnbc on a holiday friday. we'd love to see you. watch us on twitter @hallieonmsnbc. and watch us for show number two and every night at 5:00 eastern.
