good morning. it's 10:00 a.m. eastern. any moment now, president biden is set to depart for a battleground blitz season. we'll look ahead to stops today in the key states of wisconsin and pennsylvania. there you see air force one. his message for workers is labor day and the larger political implications as the clock ticks closer to november.

and there's more. we are following for you this morning including ten people killed. more than a dozen injured in a series of stabbings in canada. the latest on the hunt for the two suspects. plus, state of emergency with northern georgia under water. meanwhile in california, record heat and wildfires. the climate challenges coming in to sharper focus this morning. tomorrow will mark an emotional day for uvalde parents and their children. students are going back to school for the first time since the tragedy at robb elementary. i'll speak with the state senator representing uvalde who has been trying to help the community heal. we begin with the 64 days until the midterm elections. president biden is about to kick off his first battleground blitz of the campaign season. this is a live look at joint base andrews where air force one

is ready to take the president to milwaukee for the first stop of his very busy day. the president will deliver a speech celebrating labor day and the dignity of american workers before flying to pittsburgh where he'll speak at a union hall and campaign with pennsylvania democratic senate nominee, john fedderman. both democrats and republicans are battling for control of the house and senate. with us this morning, mike memoli, john bresna and former senior adviser to the campaign, now an msnbc political analyst. mike, what's the message the president is hoping to send today? >> reporter: good morning from yes, a rainy pittsburgh, but nonetheless, we have a big turnout for the return of the pittsburgh labor day parade. jose, i know you know this. i certainly know cristobal knows

this and maybe even bres, that scranton may be where joe biden is from, but it's always been home base for him and a real launching for campaigns in the past. so we're going to see the president coming here this afternoon. he wants to be in the parade, but he'll be speaking at a union event with two messages. first, he'll be talking about his administration is the most pro union administration in history and second, the economic success stories. the accomplishments like the rediction act, chips bill. this is a real turn around if you look at the way democrats are k looing at these midterm elections from where they were in may around memorial day. democrats thinking they have a strong case to make to voters even if there's still some difficult political headwinds at the moment. i think one of the questions as

you know in any midterm election, will democratic candidates running down the ballot embrace the president? i spoke this morning to josh shapiro. the democratic candidate. >> you were with president biden last week in pennsylvania. he was talking about crime there. you saw the former president, your opponent, joining him in the same town. usually in governor's races, we don't see national issues playing as big a role. what do you make of the fact this race has been so nationalized? >> i don't take my cues from what goes on in washington, d.c. i take my cues from washington county, pennsylvania. that's the folks i listen to and i'm focused on state issue in this state race and trying to lead pennsylvania forward. >> reporter: so you have the president here today. you have the former president here over the weekend as well. but we should talk about the

biden map today because he's also starting his day in wisconsin. and if you want to talk about the ways in which democrats feel that their political fortunes have been boosted over the course of the summer months, i think the map really says it all because democrats, not just now confident they can hold this 50/50, if you call it a majority, but they can add to their majority. two senate seats held by republicans, democrats think they have a real chance to pick up this november. >> i want to talk to you about what mike was saying about the president's strengths and some weaknesses. you worked very closely with the president. i traveled with you. and with him as he worked his way through iowa in early 2020. what do you think are his strengths as a campaigner and the weaknesses? >> well, first, jose, great to be with you. happy labor day. as you just heard, the president has been billed as this labor day celebration and there's a

lot to celebrate. we're basically running at full employment. the president is also beloved by unions. he said at the beginning of his campaign that he would be a best friend to labor. i don't think labor has had a friend as close as joe biden is in the oval office. to your question about his strengths, he's the kind of person, and mike mentioned this, i bet he would love to be in that parade. there are few people, and i've been around politics for a bit, that truly engage folks on the rope line, meet people where they are, and really take a lot of energy from the folks he meets. would also say that these candidates he's going to come across today, what that tells me them being with the president is that he really lifts all boats for these candidates. that's because there's a powerful contrast here as we enter this final stretch going into the midterm elections. you've got joe biden and

democrats who are getting a lot done for the american families. passed a lot of meaningful legislation. the economy is at full employment. we've got climate change legislation that is historic. gun safety legislation. you mentioned uvalde at the beginning. biden is the first one to really tackle that in over three decades. student loan debt relief. on the other side, you look at these candidates in these key states, there is a real pick up opportunity here because maga republicans have taken over the party and they're running these extreme candidates espousing their believes around taking away your constitutional rights, gutting social security. biden out there is a big deal for these candidates up and down the ballot and will provide the perfect contrast on labor day. >> that is the president arriving on marine one on joint base andrews. all of these accomplishments

listed, are voters listening to that message by the president? >> well, listen, after labor day, traditionally when voters really start to tune in to the election. i think right now, include picking up a senate seat in pennsylvania for instance. i think wisconsin is a big lift. they're not doing great. let's not kid ourselves. gas prices are down, but inflation is still a big problem for democrats. it's a huge problem for them and everybody goes to the supermarket these days, food inflation is crazy. i think that's a problem. the right track, wrong track, it's a huge problem for them. i still think it's likely the republicans pick up the house. probably win ten to 20 seats in the house.

i think the senate is a jump ball. you could see the democrats picking up seats. now for instance i'm not sure, we couldn't get any answer on whether barnes of wisconsin was going to be with the president today. so they are embracing him, but there's a lot of democrats who are rewarding him. biden is more popular, but still not popular. so i think things are getting bet r for the democrats, but they're not great. >> is ryan going to be with the president today? >> i'm not sure. i do think that things are doing better for democrats. no question. the gas prices were a huge problem. i was looking just before we went on the air. it's down to about $3.75 nationally from $5.

that's a big help for voters. economy, housing and food inflation is just terrible. just crushing people. right track, wrong track. economic polling is not good. got 60 days to turn things around and i think things are getting much better for democrats. just not, maybe too little too late. we'll have to see. >> and mike, the visit to pittsburgh will be the president's third trip to pennsylvania in just a couple of days. he's made several visits to the state since becoming president. how important is pennsylvania to democratic chances this fall? >> yeah, jose. the president has visited pennsylvania more than any other state in the union except for delaware, of course. we know he spends a lot of time at home in wilmington. but pennsylvania is a perfect snapshot of the midterm election and what is at stake. in the governor's race, you have as i spoke to earlier, shapiro running against mast ran o in what biden referred to in that maga extremist wing with clear

implications for not just the future of abortion, but also for the 2024 election. you have in the pennsylvania senate race, a fedderman versus oz. a very interesting race and one in which democrats are counting on to protect their senate majority. you also have a number of congressional races that are going to be key to democrats' hopes of if not holding the house, at least minimizing their losses for races to be competitive. this is also about 2024. i was here with him four years ago, an audition for his 2020 candidacy. pennsylvania boasts the biden coalition. you have black voters, suburban women, union workers, and middle class voters in scranton. so an important opportunity for biden to test run his future for a potential race run. >> i thank you as we're watching marine one and people are starting to get out. we'll see president biden step

out of that helicopter in moments. meanwhile, a judge in florida could rule this week on whether to appoint a special master to review the documents seized from mar-a-lago. meanwhile, the former president held his first rally since the fbi searched his florida residence and in a continuation of his attacks on social media, he focused on the doj and the fbi. >> rifle through the first lady's closet, drawers, and everything else. and even did a deep and ugly search of the room of my 16-year-old son. leaving everything they touched in far different condition than it was when they started. i want to bring in congressional reporter for the guardian, hugo,

and glenn. let's start with the special master request. how can we expect to see that play out this week? >> given the judge has decided not to rule on donald trump's request for a special master, i tend to think that suggest she's probably not going to appoint one with one exception we'll talk about in oo second. the department of justice to stop its review of these documents. i think she would have acted already. of course, the department of justice has said look, we're done reviewing the documents. we're now working investigative leads and we're trying to assess the damage to national security as a result of the breach of this information. so but here's the one exception. she jumped out very early on and announced a tentative opinion

that you know, i think i'm going to appoint a special masters. she did that before she gave the prosecutors an opportunity to file their brief. she may now feel the need to save face. so she could say look, i will appoint a special master just for the limited purpose of reviewing those documents that the department of justice review team has already set aside and segregated out because the doj prosecutors concluded there is some attorney client privilege attached to those documents they set aside. so i'll appoint a special master just to review that limited batch of documents to make sure doj has made the right call. that sort of gives her the opportunity to save face and sort of act in accordance with her tentative ruling while letting the department of justice do what it needs to do with respect to the lion's share of these documents. >> glenn, what do you make of

the comments from the former president about how invasive the fbi's search was according to him? >> yeah, authorized searches of somebody's residences tend to be pretty invasive. intentionally so because evidence can be hidden in all sorts of places. first of all, even if we assume donald trump is telling the truth about the scope of the search the fbi conducted at mar-a-lago, they were authorized to search the residence. the residence includes bedrooms. so there was nothing improper about searching bedrooms as part of the authority the judge gave them to conduct the search. if criminals could thwart law enforcement by hiding things in their children's bedroom, i have been involved in the execution of search warrants where we found guns and kilos of cocaine hidden in a stroller in a baby's room.

all of this is donald trump trying to misdirect his base, his supporters, into thinking that the fbi did something wrong. >> trump also tried to claim the pictures of the classified documents were staged at mar-a-lago. listen. >> they talk about documents not being properly stored. yet they go in and take documents, dump them on the floor, stage a photo shoot and pretend that i had done it, like i had put them all over the floor. they took that back after a lot of prodding. then they put out for public consumption a picture, which is seen all over the world. this is what they do. it's called disinformation. these are very dishonest, sick people. >> what do you make of these comments? >> well, i think that's simply not true.

nowhere in the doj brief do they represent that motive with declassified documents on the floor represents how trump laid them out at mar-a-lago. i've spoken to several people close to the president, is that that carpet is at mar-a-lago. so that was taking place at the property. it seems like what the fbi had done here is to kind of demonstrate just a spoke and extend of the kind of documents they found in some of these boxes they seized. there's a little marker in the corner of that photo that's interesting that says 2a. one has to wonder if that correlates with the last that were given to trump and his representatives. the fact that if that is true, the fact he had these documents in his office, which was an area that trump had access to very tightly, it seems to suggest

these are documents he knew were there. >> thank you so much for being with us this morning. and breaking right now in canada. people are sheltering in place while two suspects connected to a string of stabbings that have killed ten people remain at large. we'll have the latest on the search. plus, extreme weather. heat fuels wildfires in california. while 200-year flooding submerges northern georgia. also, record holiday travel expected today, but can airlines handle the crush after summer of travel chaos? if you've been to the airport anytime the last couple of days, these scenes you're seeing on camera are exactly what you're finding throughout airports in our country. you're watching jose diaz-balart reports. g jose diaz-balart reports. let your queries be . uh, how come we don't call ourselves bikers anymore? i mean, "riders" is cool, but "bikers"...is really cool.

22 past the hour. we're following breaking news in canada, a series of stabbings that left ten dead. authorities telling residents to shelter in place while the man hunt continues. the commanding officer said it was one of the worst mass killings in the province in history, if not the worst. cal perry has the latest. what is the latest?

>> reporter: two suspects still at large and there is that shelter in place order as you said, over a wide area in the saskatchewan province. damian sanders, 31, and miles sanders, 30 years old. it is not clear if they are related or just have the same last name. these stabbings took place in 13 locations in a community about 200 miles north of regina. the city of the saskatchewan province. it is what authorities were most concerned about yesterday because these suspects, about four hours after the stabbings started, were seen spotted in regina. there was a spotting and that's why -- which held a cfl last night, was put on a high alert and residents were asked to shelter in place. where we are on the investigation is where we were last night during the briefing. take a listen.

>> we are still looking for the two suspects. we are asking residents across saskatchewan and neighboring provinces to be vigilant. at this stage in our investigation, we believe some of the victims have been targeted by the suspect and others attacked randomly. if damian and miles are listening or receive this information, i would ask they turn themselves into police. >> at least 15 wounded. there may be more wounded. in the briefing, we understand that some folks took themselves to hospital. >> thank you so much. meanwhile, millions of americans flying home this last long weekend of summer maybe facing some travel woes. experts say air travel this past weekend with levels not seen before the pandemic and severe weather in places like texas and georgia are causing more even

more trouble after a summer of flight delays and cancellations due to staffing shortages. maggie vespa is at newark international airport with more on the travel troubles this busy labor day. maggie? >> reporter: after an excruciating summer of travel headaches, this weekend was going smoothly then mother nature through airlines and everyone traveling a major curveball. overnight, storms in texas grounding hundreds of flights. we have dozens of cancellations. hundreds of delays. especially in the dallas-fort worth area. all of this coming amid a crazy, busy travel weekend. even putting pre pandemic numbers to shame. this labor day weekend, air travel is up 2% from 2019, from before the pandemic. and that's despite the fact that the majority of people according to aaa, 82% of travelers, are taking to the roads. so a lot of people on the move and despite these curveball,

things have been going more smoothly. at the beginning of the summer where we saw peak cancellations, memorial day weekend, we had 2700 flight cancellations. labor day weekend, down to about 5560. this after the feds basically ordered airlines to sort of get it together and cut several flights. a lot of airlines across the country, to try to mitigate a lot of those cancellations and delays. so things are improving, but the faa does not that heading into the fall, things tend to slow down. travel does kind of peter off heading into september and october then pick up again getting into november and december. so they expect more capacity related issues heading into the holidays. so travelers should be advised. >> thank you so much. homes, roads, businesses, all swamped by heavy rain and flash flooding in northwest

30 past the hour. flood warnings are still active in parts of north georgia in morning after a sunday of severe rain prompted the governor to declare a state of emergency. the region drenched by more than 10 inches of rain in just 12 hours and now numerous roads still closed. many without utilities like running water. in places like chatooga county, entire neighborhoods are damaged. with us from summerville, georgia, george soliz. how are people holding up today? >> reporter: people here saying they feel they dodged a bullet. a lot of the water here, that water that overtook roads, cars and businesses has receded. a number of business owners able to go inside and assess the damage. some businesses not open today.

others helping other neighbors just take a look and start cleaning and mopping up the debris. the state of emergency, many wondering how quickly they'll be able to get aid and in some of these communities where water service is now off, many are wondering how soon they'll be able to get running water back. how quickly that boil water advisory, which is in effect, will go away. i talked to a business owner who is depending on business today on labor day to open up and he's waiting to see when the health inspector might come by and say hey, you can actually open up with this boil water advisory. no far from me here is the sheriff's office. that building closed today because of the waters that rose here. on the subject of the boil water advisory, we know the water rose so high at one point that the water treatment plant was impacted so we've seen this story play out a couple of times so it's only a matter of time to see how quickly they'll be able to restore that service. one thing officials are praising

is their drainage system because as quickly as the waters rose here, they were able to start receding. we have seen this again play out in other major cities. now people wondering if more rain comes, is the city prepared to handle that much water that fast? here's an interview i did with a manager of a local business here about the impacts of the flash flood. >> i grew up pretty much in this town. probably the first time i've actually seen it flood like it did yesterday. >> reporter: what does that tell you? >> i think some people might have been unprepared for it. not just normal civilians, but the counties and city themselves. i get it. things happen. to me, i think the drainage system wasn't prepared for what was going to happen. >> reporter: jose, more rain is expected. this community is coming together. a number of churches are

actually handing out bottles of water and clothes throughout the day until walter service is restored. people coming together in their hour of need. jose? >> george, i thank you for that. in california meanwhile, the punishing heat wave that brought triple digit temperatures to millions is now fuelling fires across the state and prompting the governor to declare a state of emergency. flames have engulfed dozens of homes. at least two deaths due to the fire. joining us now is steve patterson and catherine, chief scientist at the nature con ser vennsy. steve, what's the latest on the wildfire there is? >> reporter: firefighters have their hands full really across the west and california, but particularly, especially in this small area in northern california. firefighters battling two fires just a few miles apart in the same county. both the mountain fire and the middle fire reeking havoc. we'll start with the mill fire

as you mentioned responsible for two deaths, tragically. two bodies pulled out of the rubble there after that fire sparked on friday. really expanding extremely fast. picked up by these heavy winds, carried by this bone dry vegetation and in this extreme heat. it tore through neighborhoods like a normal fire would tear through forest vegetation. chewing up house after house after house. at least 100 structures, maybe more, as firefighters and crews assess the damage. 4200 acres so far. that fire doubled this size since it started and again, these two deaths, firefighters busy trying to contain that fire. 40% contained. so good news there. simultaneously dealing with the mountain fire just a few miles to the north. that fire much larger, about 9,000 acres. only 10% contained.

luckily, that fire is in a more rural area, but these firefighters are dealing with these fires. imagine all that gear on and you're trying to battle back the flames in 100 plus degree heat. the heat wave here across the state of california expected to extend into the week. it's putting a lot of stress in the power grid here. it's an extreme danger for people who may be out in the heat and it is continuing to fuel the fires as firefighters are battling back. jose? >> steve, thank you. and catherine, we're seeing record breaking, triple digit temperatures in places like death valley reaching over 120 degrees for six days straight. what kind of long-term damage can temperatures like these have on the environment? >> what we're seeing is the first summer of many to come where extreme weather is dominating the headlines around the word. wildfire, drought, heat waves,

floods. what's happening is climate change is loading our weather dice. it's affecting us humans, our health, infrastructure, and the natural environment. we are all at risk. >> i remember you and i were together and we visited louisville, colorado where the fire on the 30th of december destroyed so much. it seems as though these events are happening not only during peak fire times, but more and more in times of the year when it just hasn't happened before. >> well, that's exactly what we're seeing. individual events are getting more frequent and extreme. sorry about that. but the season is getting longer as well. and climate change again is taeking these naturally occurring events, because we've always has wildfires, heat waves, droughts and floods, but it is supersizing them and

making them more dangerous for us. >> besides the flooding in georgia where george was giving us an update there, there's been deadly flooding in mexico. nine people killed. 20,000 families have been affected. is that part of this just change in our climate that is causing these natural phenomenas to just happen more and more? these are images from telemundo. but there are places that are flooded and these things are happening more and more. >> they are. and what's happening is we've always had these natural events before, but climate change is interacting with them making them worse. that's why rather than calling this global warming, i call it global weirding. look at the floods in pakistan. the droughts in china. the report breaking heat waves,

droughts and then floods across the u.k. this summer. wherever we look, climate change is loading those weather dice against us, again, putting every one of us at risk no matter where we live. >> is there something we could be doing that we're not doing right now? >> there absolutely is, jose. you know where i'm going the start on this. we need every single one of us, no matter who we are, to be using our voices to be advocating for change. to prepare and build resilient water systems. to prepare for where the flood waters will go. to protect ourselves and our families and cities from extreme heat. to prepare for that wildfire. but to invest in nature to help us and protect us, but most of all, we need to be cutting our heat trapping gas emissions as much possible as soon as possible. because the more those gases build up in the atmosphere, the thicker the blanket we're wrapping around the planet, the more and more impact we're going

to see. it's not about saving the planet. it's about saving us. >> i thank you so much for being with me this morning. appreciate your time. tomorrow marks the first day of school for uvalde students since 21 students and teachers lost their lives during the shooting in robb elementary. next, i'll speak with the state senator who represents uvalde, about how folks there are feeling. i just spent a couple of days in uvalde and there's so much fear, but there's also hope. a much needed win for a community that is still trying to heal. they played football on friday night and the team won and it was a victory for so much more than just one team. and so much more than just a game. you're watching jose diaz-balart reports. se diaz-balart reports. ion for learning. and now we're providing 88 billion dollars to support underserved communities...

i was in uvalde a couple of days ago. there was so much fear, so much sorrow. tomorrow's going to be a tough day for a lot of people there. >> yes, it is, jose, and thank you for continuing to go out to the community. i mean, these folks, her story is not just an individual story. so many children are afraid to go to school. they're afraid to be alone. they're afreud when their parents go to buy groceries or whatever it is they need to do. it's a whole town in trauma and shock. tomorrow's going to be hard for a lot of people. i'm going to be there. i've told them all i can do is continue to love them and try to work for change. we're going to keep doing that. >> yeah. i spoke to felix and kimberly when i was in uvalde. she was killed in the shooting.

just 10 years old, family moved since what happened to their daughter. they moved and one of the things they looked for in a new home was if the home being close the children's new schools. listen to this. >> the fact that the schools are close is important one for you. >> yes. don't think about this beforehand, but now. it's just on the forefront of our minds that if something ever happens again, to run home. so the location was very important for us. >> imagine that, senator. they moved so their children, if something like this happened again, can run home. they could run to meet their children. actually, kimberly ran for more than a mile barefoot on that 24th of may. how is that community doing, senator? i want to talk to you also because you know, you've been there from day one and i know that it's certainly affected you as it's affected all of us.

but how are those families doing? how have they been able to pass the days since that 24th of may? have they been getting help? >> well, they're getting some help certainly. kimberly's story and so many other parents that i've gotten to be good friends with and felix as well, they are coping in all of this grief. in all of this madness. i think part of it is through this advocacy. as i've talked to kimberly, ronny, there's a kind of refrain. if they don't stay busy, if they don't stay active, it's the moments of silence that are really very difficult for them. they've lost their hope. when you lose a child, you lose your hope. and that's what they're going through. and the horror that they live in every night, i can't imagine. i know you can't either. but all that is what these folks are living with and i hope

people around this country understand it. >> you know, i was outside robb elementary and i saw that makeshift memorial and there's one picture i took, i keep with me. it's a heart and says your wings were ready, but our hearts were not. you know, senator, your heart can never be ready to deal with the loss of a child. tell me a little bit quickly where you're going to be tomorrow. >> well, jose, i'm going to be down at the school with families at the different schools, making sure things go well. so many parents are not happy with a lot of the things the government has yet, has done or hasn't done. the governor sets out, he sent 30 extra dps troopers. these families don't want dps troopers there. they were part of the problem. not part of any kind of solution that happened on that day so we've got to keep working for change. today's labor day. we've got the keep people in

texas to understand we have to work for change in texas so that we actually have a governor that has common sense solutions rather than the opposite. >> senator gutierrez, i thank you for being with us this morning. i very much appreciate your voice. and tomorrow, the day school starts in uvalde, we will be airing more of my interview with kimberly and felix, the parents of 10-year-old lexi. tomorrow, their daughter would have started fifth grade. such a difficult day for so many tomorrow. that community still enveloped in so much pain. but among all the pain, there was a moment of hope when recovery this weekend in uvalde. the uvalde high school football team won its first home game on friday. a triumph for an entire city still trying to heal. this is what hope sounds like.
