right now on andrea mitchell reports, the special master is laying down the law telling donald trump's lawyers they have one week to back up his controversial claim that the fbi planted evidence during the mar-a-lago search. in russia, emotional good-byes, unusual mass protests and a race to the border as vladimir putin calls up the first of 300,000 civilians into military service. and an internet blackout goes in to effect in iran as the regime tries to stop the spread of massive protests against death of a 22-year-old woman while in custody by the so-called morality police.

we'll speak with a self described iranian troublemaker targeted for her activism. good day. lawyers for donald trump have one week to back up their client's unsubstantiated accusations that the fbi planted evidence at mar-a-lago. trump's allegations have not been made in court, only on social media and on fox news. but now special master judge raymond dearie is telling trump's lawyers this is their, quote, final opportunity to raise any fact all dispute as to the completeness and accuracy of the detailed property inventory. let's get right to justice and intelligence corespondent ken dilanian, michael steele and phil rucker.

and as well as glenn kirschner is joining us today. so ken, this is the judge that the trump team wanted but it seems like judge dearie is telling trump to put up or shut up any guess more civil words. >> absolutely right. you have to wonder whether the trump team is second guessing their decision. he didn't have to do this way, he was under instructions from judge cannon to come up with a detailed inventory that all the parties can agree on what exactly was seized at mar-a-lago and in so doing, he has essentially as you said there told the trump team to put up or shut up or speak now or forever hold your piece. and of course trump lawyers and trump himself have made these allegations and insinuations in various forums in media, but never in court and never in any legal pleading where there are professional consequences for lying or making baseless claims

without evidence. so now they have a chance if they believe that evidence was planted or have anyway to prove that, they can tell the special master about that and if they don't, then it will be really hard for them ever to make that claim again in court. will that stop donald trump from saying it? i sincerely doubt it, but it should stop his lawyers at least from saying it. >> so, glenn, if trump's team has not been able to back up what trump has been asserting, are there any legal consequences? >> you know, there are. and judge dearie has now asked for two things from the trump team. both of those things have the potential to hurt donald trump's litigation position in the future. the first, judge dearie said i need you to certify what documents, if any, donald trump declassified. to my surprise, the trump defense team responded by saying to judge dearie, no, which is not something we often hear federal judges being told, and they said no because they didn't

want to damage any future litigation himself in the event donald trump is indicted. and now judge dearie has done it again. he said i need to know if you're claiming the fbi planted any documents. that is an appropriate thing for him to ask because he has been tasked with reviewing the documents that were taken from donald trump and seeing if there might be any privilege attached. well, if the trump team says you didn't actually take this batch of documents from me, the fbi planted it, well, no need for judge dearie to review that batch documents. but the trump team has got to be asking itself, one, was this a smart ask because it doesn't look like we're getting anything out of the special master review, but it does look like it is hurting our litigation position in the future. you even have to wonder if they are contemplating withdrawing their request for a special master because judge dearie also said in this most recent order that i'm thinking about holding

an evidentiary hearing regarding these claims that you are making about declassification and the fbi planting information. and the last thing team trump wants is to have to be involved in an evidentiary hearing on these matters. >> phil, this is classic donald trump going on fox news, going on his truth social, and really messing up his legal position. you got to feel for his attorneys. >> you do, andrea. and of course it fits a pattern that we've seen over the years with trump where he goes in his public commentary far beyond what he is sort of willing to say in court and what his lawyers will argue in court. that is because in public he says things that don't always have a basis in fact. there is simply no evidence to support his accusation that the fbi planted evidence at mar-a-lago, at least no evidence that we've seen. and now of course he is being

challenged to present that in a legal proceeding and it is unclear if he will be able to back that up in any way. >> i mean, the fact that the lawyers in fact had this court made claims, they didn't make all the claims that he made certainly, but they had made claims and made suggestions that the fbi affidavits could not be trusted. which is of course something that judge cannon, the judge in florida then jumped on to. michael steele, the other thing that was extraordinary, donald trump relitigaing 2016, not 2020, on hannity the other night. i'll play you a little sound of what he had to say about hillary clinton's emails. >> there is also a lot of speculation because of what they did the severity of the fbi raiding mar-a-lago. were they looking for the

hillary clinton emails that consider deleted but around somewhere? >> no, you're not saying you had it. >> no, but they may have thought that it was in there. >> so hillary clinton's deleted emails from 2016, or 2015 actually, were somehow hidden in mar-a-lago and that is why the fbi raided? >> you know, with trump, it is just a can of stupid soup. and the fact that sean was like you don't really mean -- but then didn't follow up when trump gave the explanation, no, they could have. just tells you how far out there this is. look, this is all about sticking stuff on the wall and seeing what will eventually hold its place for trump. you try to confuse the conversation, you try to mix up the facts. so to your point about the lawyers, i don't feel bad for those lawyers. if they're smart, they got their

$3 million, $4 million up front. and if they are that dumb to take on this client, then -- >> i was being sarcastic. >> i know you were. but i just didn't want to be polite about it. because that is the problem. everyone is polite when it comes to the crazy stuff that donald trump is doing. we saw that in an interview with sean hannity. sean hannity knows that the word at fox now is a change order on how they are dealing with trump. and so that you're beginning to see politically, you are beginning to see it somewhat in the media. and that is because this is not sustainable. as my three colleagues have aptly pointed out through their journalistic work, that this -- and their legal analysis, that this is a tough spot. you have a special master who is not acting in a special way for trump. he is actually doing the job. and so, yeah, there may be some regret there because they thought, well, you know, this is

a nice strong conservative, he is going to be right on the same page. well, he's a judge. a federal judge. he knows what the game is. he was a phaser judge. so he understands what national security evidence requires. and he is fulfilling his responsibility. he is not doing what we've seen others do in the past, and that is give trump the lanes that he needs to creates a much confusion and noise as possible. >> glenn, very quick legal question. is it unlikely now that trump would appeal the 11th circuit decision by two out of three trump judges, unlikely that he would appeal that because judge cannon amended her ruling already? does that make it moot? >> you know, his game always seems to be appeal and delay and try to run out whatever the

operative clock is. so i think the smart money would be riding on donald trump will forever appeal every ruling that goes against him though he won't have a strong appeal and if he tries to appeal it all the way up to the supreme court, i see no basis for the supreme court to grant review of a case like this. >> glenn, thank you very much, counselor. ken, michael, phil, thanks to all of you. and those protests erupting, thousands in iran taking to the streets amid an internet blackout aimed at trying to disrupt the demonstrators. plus clashes in russia as the first reserve troops are drafted in to putin's war. our reporters in both regions are coming up next. gions are congmi up next i still practice for what's next. even with higher stroke risk due to... afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin... i like that tune. eliquis. eliquis reduces stroke risk better than warfarin. and has less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis has both. don't stop taking eliquis without talking to your doctor

it has been a week of historic protests in iran. monumental shift for the islamic republic. protests over the death of a young woman are going strong and it is women who are leading the

charge. nbc news tehran bureau chief ali arouzi is the only western television correspondent inside iran. ali, just how transformational or monumental are these protests? >> reporter: it is incredible, andrea. it is not something i've ever seen or anybody else has seen in the 43 year history of the islamic republic. the dress code here is very strict. and the rules are heavily enforced. but there is a generation of women here, a lot of them generation z that just feel so suffocated. and the death of mahsa amini touched a really raw nerve and that is why we're seeing these protests spill out into the streets. i can't overstate the magnitude of these women going out on to the streets and burning their head scarves and cutting their hair in public while the crowds are supporting them. is this a huge taboo for the islamic republic.

this would have landed people double digit jail sentences. many people who have protested the hijab are in jail right now serving 10, 20 year jail sentences for refusing the head scarf. so this is a huge moment. and the chants they are making, you hear them marching across the streets chanting woman, life, freedom. they don't want this refregs any more, but the crackdown is really hard. this is a very sore point for the islamic republic. they want to put this whole are a hijab issue back in the box, but the genie is out of the bottle and it is a sore issue. >> any information about how a mini died some the regime says it was a heart attack or illness. >> that's right.

the authorities here say that she had a pre-existing condition, that she had had brain surgery when she was younger, and that she had a heart attack while she was in custody and then went into a coma. her father refutes that completely. he says that she has no pre-existing condition. there are reports, we can't confirm, that she was beaten and he says that when he saw her body before she was buried, she had bruises around her ear, head and legs. and again reiterated that she had no pre-existing medical conditions. but that is not even the point, andrea. even if this young lady had pre-existing conditions, we've spoken to so many people that have been arrested by the morality police, it is an extremely stressful event. many of the women that come out of detention that have been arrested by the morality police suffer from ptsd. so it could be an accident that happens in there, it is not likely that that is what happened here, but that could

happen to any other person that actually does have a pre-existing medical condition because it is such a stressful experience. and that is why you see so many people out on the street today because they have experienced being swept up by the morality police and they just don't want it anymore. and it is amazing, you see a lot of people demonstrating, they are still coming out in full force near the bureau yesterday we saw about 500 or 600 people marching toward the north of tehran. basically family units. these were mothers with their teenage daughters, young husbands, brothers, just all going out together to show solidarity with one another despite the massive police presence across the country. >> this is all just amazing. as anyone who has been to tehran, this is extraordinary. haven't seen anything like this since the revolution in 1979. thank you so much, my friend. and mounting unrest in russia today as more than 1300

people by some estimates were arrested for demonstrating against vladimir putin's callup of 300,000 civilians in to military service. as draft orders are going out across the country, russians are saying good-bye to their loved ones and others are fleeing to visa-free countries. putin also responded with vague nuclear threats this week prompting almost universal condemnation at the u.n. also today putin ordered what western leaders are condemning as sham elections in russian-held areas of ukraine. russian attempt to annex more than of the ukrainian homeland. joining us now from kharkiv is richard engel. so richard, we're seeing these emotional good-byes of men going off to war. this is finally coming home to people who have only -- mostly been seeing the propaganda and disinformation and misinformation from russian media, state media.

>> reporter: extraordinary scenes in tehran. we haven't seen anything like that in iran since perhaps the green revolution. and now extraordinary scenes in moscow too where you have this real divide where some people are nationalists, ultra nationalists, they believe in putin. he does have support. they believe in this war. they believe the government's message that ukraine is run by a group of neo-nazis which of course it is not. and that this is a just cause and they are following putin's line. putin says that unless the country mobilizes, that russia itself faces an existential threat, that the west wants to collapse russia, to divide it like it divide the soviet union in 1991. but there are many russians who have been wrote want to say happy, but have been able to sit on the sidelines, to not allow the war to impact their lives,

still go on vacations in europe, still raffle, have been fairly insulated from the sanctions because of russian economic policies. theyare not insulated anymore and they are afraid that more draft orders are coming. and these draft orders are arriving very suddenly. it is not that you are getting them in the mail to show up for service in a month from now. oftentimes officials, sometimes two or three officials, will come knock on your door and tell i to you to report for service in a matter of hours. and russians who don't want to serve are either heading toward the border, driving toward the border, the borders with finland and georgia are seeing long lines of traffic, both of those countries allow russians in without a visa, and tickets to visa-free destinations such as istanbul are either sold out or

exorbitantly extensive. and so a lot portion of them faced with this war and are trying to get out of the country before they are drafted and sent to the frontlines where about 50,000 russian soldiers have already been killed. >> richard again in ukraine, just all extraordinary the history we're watching unfold before our very eyes. joining us now is ben rhodes, former national security adviser for president obama. this independent war crimes commission that the u.n. had launched, their legal experts today are reporting that they have evidence that children have been raped and tortured in addition to the adult war crimes. this extraordinary. and this is an independent commission. >> it is. and it confirms kind of our worst fears and worst reports of

what has taken place in parts of ukraine that russia has occupied. the mass depopulation of cities, torture of individuals and now these terrible crimes against children. i think that it is very important that even in the midst of war, work is done to collect this evidence and build these cases. both for potential accountability and also because that sends a message not so much toyou putin who is beyond reach, but all the people in that chain of command that you are risking being held accountable as a war criminal at some point. a year from now, five years from now, justice is open-ended. and you have to begin to faebt effect the calculus to as many people around putin. so imperative that the work goes on. >> this week president putin threatened to use nuclear weapons. it was a veiled threat, if you will. the "washington post" is reporting that the u.s. has for months been sending private

communications to moscow warning about grave consequences if they were do anything with nuclear weapons, something the president made explicit several times and again on 60 minutes sunday night. is putin going to listen to that message, do we think this threat is real? i'm told by u.s. officials they have not seen any sign that anything is moving in that direction. >> yeah, i think that we've heard a lot of rhetoric from putin and people around him, but thus far there has not been any reporting about any shift in russia's actual nuclear posture. and you haven't seen the u.s. make any changes to its nuclear posture. i think that it is kind of routine due diligence when you are seeing these kinds of threats to reinforce the united states deterrent in those kind of messages. but we're in a new phase of this war. ukrainians have had significant battlefield success, putin is failing to achieve his objectives and he is shifting to

mobilization and risk real instability inside russia and political risk for putin himself. and as he potentially loses more territory, that risk of the use of unconventional weapons, chemical weapons for instance, or the worst case nuclear weapons, it becomes something that you have to consider in a way that we haven't in decades here. because vladimir putin when cornered, you are just not sure what he is going to do. i think that we should underscore again thus far this has been rhetorical threats from the russians. but when you hear these referendums where they will try to recognize ukrainian land as a part of russia, the kinds of threats russians have made is that they will treat it as part of russia and therefore their nuclear deterrent applies to that land as well. so that is why the different pieces of the russian strategy, nuclear threats and ax

annexations come together. because it raises the stakes that they might use unconventional weapons to defend those areas. >> yeah, that creates a whole new red line and changes the battlefield completely. thank you very much, ben rhodes. and our thoughts today are with the secretary of state antony blinken after the death overnight of his father. donald blinken served in world war ii and earned economics degrees from harvard before becoming a leader in business and later serving as as u.s. ambassador to hungary. sent blinken saying in a tweet his father lived with decency, dignity and modesty, he loved his wife and family and is a great inspiration to phoe tony bliken to go into service.blink. d s it's more treatable. i'm cologuard. i'm noninvasive and i detect altered dna in your stool

we all go, why not enjoy the go with charmin. midterms are only 45 days from now and according to a new poll, voter enthusiasm is at an all-time high. two-thirds of voters say they have high interest in a midterms. that is higher than the numbers from any past midterm. with us new, "usa today" washington bureau chief susan page, doug high and also political contributor eugene daniels. susan, what do you think is the most critical factor that is likely to emerge given the enthusiasm that voters have? >> well, this enthusiasm is good news for democrats because republicans have had an edge on enthusiasm before the abortion ruling by the supreme court changed that and so did the sense of threat to democracy.

but the biggest issue continues to be inflation and the economy. something that americans feel every day around the kitchen table. we've seen some easing of gas prices, but food prices are still high. rent is still high and that i think is the issue that is the best news for republicans as they try to flip the house and perhaps the senate. >> and jonathan allen is reporting that the democrats are conducting focus groups with voters about john fetterman's health in the pennsylvania senate case. that seat is key. what does it mean in his race against dr. oz? >> i think largely what susan is talking about is we kind of have two different locations going on. it is like a choose your own adventure. republicans are inflation and an economy that they will continue to rail on. and democrats are talking about abortion and privacy rights. and in pennsylvania with john

fetterman, that is something that when you talk to voters, they feel strongly about. they are worried about his health. it is something that they have seen as they watched the difference in his public speaking, what that looks like. and there is also the fact that before -- right before the primary, they were quiet about what happened. they were not all the way truthful about how bad his health was and where it came from, so now you have democrats getting a little bit worried. i was talking to a democratic strategist two days ago out here in d.c. and they said that pennsylvania a still poised good for them and i think they feel that way because of the weakness of dr. oz. and so that is one that they are still banking on to flip and give them a good chance to keep the senate and maybe expand that majority. because they continue to rail and fight with dr. oz.

and how when we see fetterman and oz together on the debate stage, i think the voters in pennsylvania will get a much better sense of the health of fetterman and what that looks like. and if they feel like he is up to the job. >> and he's only agreed to one debate, that is october 25th. and it is a lot later than dr. oz wanted, but that one debate will be crucial so close to the election two weeks out. doug, allies of former president trump are creating a new super pac with no spending limits called maga inc. and trump is campaigning in your home state of north carolina right now. so how big a shift could this new pac bring to swing states? >> if they spend money, it could be very significant. but what we've heard from the trump camp is, well, donald trump is doing these events in north carolina, this arizona, in other states and that is the real benefit. we don't have on spend money for

them. so they have either made a shift or that money is not going to be spent. but if you are ted budd, you are not looking at him as a lightning rod and you have to focus on three issues, crime, inflation and the war. >> and in north carolina, there is a very strong democratic candidate, sharon beasley and they have big hopes for her, but especially because the trump endorsed candidate, the more extreme candidate, former governor, won the republican primary. there north carolina is an unusual state quite often. sharon beasley is a good candidate, former supreme court justice. and in this election we have two supreme court justices up for re-election. it means crime is a very important issue, more so than in other states that don't have this dynamic.

ted budd will hit this issue all day every day. >> and how important is money going to be this year? some of the democrats, val demings for instance in florida, is raising a whole lot of money but florida is a tough state for democrats. >> money talks. if you are running a campaign, you wants a much money as you can get, but money is not everything. and you think about not giving money so far to candidates, not all attention is welcome. and with the president's current legal problems, i wonder if he is definitely a dull edge sword. one of the very first things you talked about was voter enthusiasm. broad voter enthusiasm is bad for donald trump because he has the ability to turn out his voters, but if everybody's voters are turning out, that means that there is a better chance of offsetting the faction of americans who support him. >> susan, doug, eugene, thanks

today. actually not planned. >> i'll say it was planned. >> congratulations on the book. >> thank you. >> your book is an extraordinary history of women, women lawyers, women judges, women supreme court justices and the way women have been affected both empowered and disempowered by decisions of the court going all the way back to 1873 was it when the supreme court rule had women could not be lawyers? >> right, because we're delicate. >> and i remember when my friends were all becoming lawyers and we were not allowed to wear pants. there was a dress code if you were addressing the court. so you begin the book with this extraordinary day, this oral argument in a case out of texas, the solicitor general arguing for texas, new restrictions placed on abortion, 016 i think it was. tell me about what you called the last truly great day in the supreme court. >> it was a day that felt like

we were so close that after centuries of trying to achieve not even parity, something close to parity, the idea that finally you had three women on the bench and women oral advocates and nobody was going to silence these women. there is an amazing moment in the audio with ruth bader ginsburg more or less says you'll give her a little more time now and john roberts goes, okay, a little more time. and it is just this moment of women, their power, their identity, their stories are being told at the court. and for me, it just felt like this triumphful we are close. and justice stephen breyer who i always think of as a radical, he wrote this pin i don't about women, their families, their health, their economic interests. and he says no more lying.

it is an amazing day. and then within a few months it falls away. >> and then we have texas leading the way in these extraordinary restrictions. the bounty system, all the rest. >> yeah, one year ago that sb-8, that vigilante bill was blessed in the supreme court in the shadow docket without any real reasoning. one year ago if you were reading the tea leaves it was clear that the court was going to nullify roe and they were going to do it without even regard for who was being harmed. and so, yeah, it happened so fast. and you're right, texas has been at the van guard of making sure that it happened really, really without any realening or work. >> and so looking forward to the new court term, what are your concerns, what are your hopes as you look at the cases coming before the court? >> i mean, the court is as you said in your intro in trouble. it has the most shockingly low

approval rating since the history of polling. and last year it had the lowest approval rating since the history of polling until this year. it is going into a term where affirmative action is on the docket, the follow-on to the kate baker case of the someone who doesn't want to participate this gay weddings. it has huge election cases coming before it, including a case that i think doesn't get enough attention about essentially handing all power to state legislatures to determine how elections go. so almost nothing that isn't on the book ket. docket. and the court enters it with a public that is deeply worried and concerned that the court is just a political beast. so there is a lot going on and i think that it is going to be another hard term for the court in terms of the public's respect and regard for the institution. >> the only thing is that for years republicans were, if you will -- well, republicans who

were against abortion, against free choice, were single issue voters. republicans voted for supreme court justices and democrats did not seem mobilized for the court to be an issue. but it certainly seems looking at kansas and the registration of women that that is changing now. >> i think that june and the dobbs case was a big wake-up call not just for women, i think for a lot of people who had mully filed themselves that the court would never do this, it was too soon, all the trump nominees said that roe was super recent department. i think people were deeply shocked and a lot of people as you say are now looking around saying do i want to sort of live under a nine person jurus dock raes where i have no power to effect my will and i think that lot of people are worried that dobbs is just the beginning of the erosion of privacy rights. >> it is great to see you, thank you so much for being peer here and the new book is "lady
