11:00 am
everybody, good afternoon.
11:01 am
good to see you i'm yasmin vossoughian. we are following news on several fronts today. >> he was on a mission to kill. he was out hunting. >> a mission to kill, a suspected serial killer caught in california after a reign of terror as he was out hunting for his next victim. we are going to have a live report on that coming up, we are also covering politics everybody. just 23 days until the midterm elections. that will decide who controls congress. we will take you live to georgia, where everybody is watching for the latest in the senate race there. a day look before early voting begins. also, caught on camera. a republican elections official taped stealing democratic signs. we are going to look at what else republicans are doing leading up to a whole bunch, today. will he actually do it? speculation today that the former president may actually
11:02 am
say yes to testifying before the january 6th committee. we will have that to you, live as well. shocking showing california. stopped in police saying they have a serial killer in custody, not a moment too soon. wesley brown lee is alleged to have killed six man and wounded a woman in a series of shootings in california. police say he was hunting for his next victim when he was found -- >> walk us through, scott, this whole operation to find this individual. >> well, yasmin, to hear the police talent this was a case of docket detective work as well as the police stepping up. all of the community had to go on was the brain surveillance video that was released a few weeks ago of a man that a person authority said was a person of interest with a somewhat distinctive walk.
11:03 am
you really only see the back of his head, linked to these six killings and an attempted statement by ian stockton in oakland. police say that the public weighed in with hundreds of tips to the point where, when this man was allegedly out hunting for his next victim, the police were also on his trail. >> tips come into the department of stockton crime stoppers where we are able to get it zero in on a suspect. our surveillance team followed this person while he was driving. we watched his patterns and determined early this morning that he was on a mission to kill. he was out hunting, also armed with a firearm and taken into custody. we are sure we stopped another killer. >> in custody's 43 year old wesley brown, authorities say
11:04 am
he was a stockton resident and has moved around some. they say he has a criminal record, but no elaboration on just what that is. as you heard, they say they also recovered a firearm. no word whether that is the firearm, handgun, that they linked to the killing over the last year. no word yet on a motive, some of the victims were homeless, some hispanic, authorities have not gone as far as to say that these crimes were racially motivated. he has not yet been charged, we assume that that will happen in the next 24 hours or so. he's expected in court tuesday afternoon. >> thankfully though now in custody. i'm glad the community is able to breathe a sigh of relief, what today is going for, us thank you. we have had announcements developments as we head to early voting. georgia, control of the senate may hinge on this race.
11:05 am
voters will head to polls on the heels of the debate between herschel walker and raphael warnock. also, tomorrow night by the way governor brian kemp said to take the debate stage himself with democrat stacey abrams looking to adventure 2018 loss. in atlanta for, us covering it all. so much to talk to, sahil, right? all eyes on the state of georgia. when we talk about the elect ccaps we can't help but think she was integral, essentially, and turning georgia the way it is in turning out so many votes. approaching the 2020 election. as we look ahead to the senate race and the governor's race, let's talk first, senate. right? on the heels of the debate friday night how folks they're reacting on the ground? >> that's right, he has been. early voting begins tomorrow in georgia. the state senate races are a norm us. the states georgia gave democrats the majority in 2020, but it's very plausible that it could do so again this fall.
11:06 am
raphael warnock, the democratic incumbent and his republican challenges are, former football star herschel walker met friday for their one and only debate of the senate cycle. we're not made a clear play, clear appeal, to moderate and independent voters. the trump to biden crossover voters when the painting the state with red two who clearly present and himself as an independent mind, willing to work with republicans to get things done. he attacked herschel walker and attacked his honesty. he said, frankly, my opponent has a problem with the truth. herschel walker, for his part presented himself and as an agent of change. he presented -- to blame warnock for inflation and the cost of living problems on the minds of many voters in georgia. how did voters react? let's have a listen to what some voters said about it. >> i thought he was going to be a blown out, for warnock, he's professional, he's preacher you know? herschel was like giving you
11:07 am
honest answers as a regular person versus a politician giving you, i don't how. >> i think we're not, honestly try to avoid some of the questions. i think herschel got hit pretty hard on issues but they both held around. i don't think anything -- i don't think was the kind of debate that you walk out and go, oh they absolutely change my mind. >> many voters here in georgia have made up their minds, yasmin, but the margins are everything in a state this close that decided a presidential election by fewer than 12,000 votes and decide to senate seats in favor of democrats by two points. currently this raphael warnock with the advantage, 3 to 4 points on his own by about doubled by the recent story about herschel walker allegedly paying for an extra friends abortion in 2009. a story that walker has repeatedly denied. >> as i came to you we talked about stacey abrams, as well. obviously not running for
11:08 am
governor, she's up against her governor brian kemp in this debate tomorrow night. he would cc rahm's, right? how close she came to governor's office in 2018. what you did when it came to a voter turnout, especially the black community in the 2020 election. what are we going to be looking for in this debate tomorrow night? >> this race is a rematch of 2018 where, as you point out, serums came in fifth five -- she did lose that race and this time it's brian kemp with the advantage. he is leading by five or six points in recent polls in this debate, the first of two between abrams and camp is an important point for abrams to try to turn this around she has a chance to do so in the last few weeks before election day. we are likely to hear about the top issues on the minds of voters, the biggest of which is the economy and cost of living. brian kemp has highlighted his work in reopening georgia's economy after covid tax breaks,
11:09 am
a form of say income taxes as well as gas tax relief. abrams has percentage are self as a candidate with a plan to deal with economic problems from medicaid expansions, affordable housing, childcare, it's important to pass that case and the issue of abortion. dozens fired up a lot of democratic voters, the six-week abortion bans is one of the six most oppressive in the country. abrams is trying to make a case for -- >> will be all be watching that debate. all eyes right now should and are on the stage for the senate governor race there. sahil, always good to talk, my friend, thank you. >> let's talk about former president donald trump taking aim at jewish americans just a short time ago telling them to get their act together. no president has done more for israel than i have. u.s. jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in israel. he also signed his approval rating in israel is so high
11:10 am
that he could easily be prime minister. during his presidency trump was a vocal supporter of israel and became the first to visit the western wall in jerusalem. he also -- the holy steve tel aviv, which he called long overdue. a 2019 pew research poll said that his approval rating among jewish americans is only 27%, an actual go much higher than that after the recent tweet. -- subpoena the former president. according to new york times, trump has been telling aids, get this, he may in fact testify. only, only, if he could do it live. no word yet if the committee will agree to that condition. it comes as a new report reveals that a former white house employee has told federal agents that he moved boxes of documents at the specific direction of the former president. let's bring in ali roth and i must nbc legal analyst to talk about this. let's get, first, the chatter
11:11 am
of if we can around this possibility. i will say, looking at whether we already folks kind of blowing me up saying, to the emmy, saying there is no way and -- you can fill in the blank that he is going to testify. if he does complete the fifth, just reaction you're hearing in washington? >> yeah, yasmin. i think the sentiment here on capitol hill is the same. for so many of us who have covered these hearings and the committee's work extensively, we assume that he won't comply. i think the bigger question, rather than wheeler bones he comply with the subpoena that the committee could issue as early as tomorrow. the biggest question is what the committee plans to do if and when trump does not comply with the subpoena. remember, congress has the ability to refer criminal charges to people who do not comply with their subpoenas. we saw that same exact thing happen with former trump advisor steve bannon, former white house traded visor peter navarro. both inside trump's inner
11:12 am
circle who did not comply with the subpoenas. both charged with contempt of congress for doing so. can you members on the sunday show this morning were asked whether the former president should face the same consequences if he decides not to comply. take a listen. >> that's a bridge we crossed if we have to get there. look, we well recognize the fact that because of the committee only being able to exist until the end of the congressional year, because that was the mandate we are in a bit of a time limit here. as we're wrapping up the investigation, we are also pursuing new leads in fact. we want to speak to the president. >> i would engage in any hypotheticals at this moment as the subpoena hasn't yet been served. i will say that with previous subpoenas they've been very deliberate and take the response to the subpoenas on a case by case basis. >> kinzinger adding, in his interview, that trump could push back and plead the fifth all he wants but the simple requirement of the subpoena is
11:13 am
to appear before the committee. even if he doesn't, like when you brush is not off the salute the end of thursday's hearing the name more than enough evidence to issue criminal referrals to the justice department several people, including trump. this is something the cedric crier another unanimous -- for say that. it is not necessary but viola same path on another pace when there are with their investigation, but all of this to say that the january six committee had their final hearing on thursday, but now they are starting to see the results of this over a year long investigation play out. -- >> all right, margaret, let's play a game of what if? okay. what if the former president says, okay, i'm going to appear as if this is true and people appeared live -- as we understand what you want
11:14 am
to do that because he wants to testify and say the election was stolen, it's rigged, this is a witch hunt and so on and so forth. to have the opportunity to speak to the public in that way. right? what it really benefit the committee who appear lives? if it means they're pleading the fifth or estimate his own narrative? >> -- executive privilege, -- i think donald trump will never pass to testify before the committee. i will play your game, the what if. he says he will show up as long as i get, you know, my mom open mic. i think the committee is going to want to make sure that he has rules in place so they are not simply giving him an opportunity to spread more disinformation. i think they want to have rules in of engagement. if he's under oath, there is a risk that what he says could be used against him in a criminal case. i think they will want to do it really ask the questions and he provides the answers as opposed to an open mind where he gets
11:15 am
to spin a narrative. he can use his words carefully, there is actually a way of engaging in truthfulness but talking about things in a very misleading way. >> let me ask you this. beyond enough, former president, right testifying before the january six committee and saying all right he knew the election was stolen. could that be used against him criminally? he is lying. >> it could, now when you frame something as your belief and your opinion it can be much more difficult to prove because we can't read another person's mind. i think, circumstantially, the january six committee has put a lot of evidence that trump had noticed that he did lose the election. expressing a belief is a little bit harder to prove to a jury that he knew he was lying when he said that. i think they can ask a lot of other questions about his efforts to pressure people to switch the outcome of the election in the complete absence of evidence, it could be very incriminating for him. that's why i think you will never show up.
11:16 am
>> we will see. by the way, barbara mcquade, thank you for flying. alibaba, thank. you stick around for me. perhaps we will play round two of that what if game. still had everybody, as trump continues consider talking to the january six committee there's one place where he definitely, may be, talking under oath this week. we will tell you about that going coming up. at least four are reportedly dead and dozens injured in a fire on notorious iranian prison. as protests enter their fifth week, also, we are live in ukraine at the newest blow for russia's war. we'll be right back. ight back. if you're loud, be louder. if you stand out, stand strong. and if you got the devil on your shoulder... take him for a ride.

11:20 am
everybody. breaking news out of iran. by countries judiciary is saying that number of people are killed, dozens injured after a massive fire inside of a prison in the nation's capital. msnbc has yet to verify on reports coming into prison. ali aruban is in tehran for us. let's talk about this. the images overnight were startling of the prison, the fire happening at the prison. this is a place in which political prisoners are often held. do we know the status of some of those individuals? how it all got started? >> a lot of the details are very blurry, this happened about 8:00 local time last night. it went on for about four or five hours. we still don't have very many
11:21 am
answers as to what happened, what the source of the fire was. how exactly it happened behind prison walls. like you said, this is a massive, sprawling complex. a city within a city. it does house a lot of garden-variety criminals, murderers, thieves, but also a lot of political prisoners and foreign prisoners, as well. many of the people who have been arrested in these current protests are within. there are american citizens also being held within. this is one of the most famous ones right now, -- who is whose father was released a short while to go. he was in person there. he had gotten in touch with his -- late last night to say that he was safe and had been transferred to a secure unit. the authorities here are saying a variation of sorts. a fight broke out in one section of the prison, there was a fire in a sewing shop. right now they are saying that
11:22 am
four people have died. they're not saying that they are a political proven prisoners, they are saying they died of smoke inhalation. they are also saying that 61 other people were injured. there was a dramatic emotion there commotion there. the whole city was very anxious when the news broke that there was a massive fire at the prison. from about 8:00 to about midnight, there were sounds of explosions. there was the constant statement of gunfire ringing in the vicinity. you have to remember, this was in the north of tehran and surrounded by residential areas. local residents were in realtime describing what they were hearing and seeing coming out of the prison. this caused great anxiety,. people jumped in their cars, like the people who had relatives or friends within their prayers the prison and -- a massive traffic jam ensued in the city's.
11:23 am
we don't know exactly what happened. >> that is what is startling amidst the protest happening in that country is the geography of that person, the way that you describe it, being amidst the city. really in all of these environments that half homes and people going to bed. it was this massive fire taking place at this complex, housing all of these prisoners. ali, thank you for coming on for us. we appreciate it. let's talk about ukraine for a moment, everybody. russian forces attacking more than 30,000 villages. ukraine is fighting back the air force carrying out more than 30 strike. with just a russian targets inside of russia's own borders. the government is facing more violence. a shooter attacked a military base killing almost a dozen soldiers. we want to bring in msnbc's cal perry who's in the capsule to be key for us. let's talk about some of this. he has the latest happening in ukraine, more of what you are seeing on the ground and more of these battles unfolding. >> yes, so ukrainians define it
11:24 am
as the line of contact. 30,000 villages hidden along this line of contact. it would seem like world war ii language that is because they are intentionally using world war ii language. this isn't the artillery war along the front, russia is lobbying artillery into the towns and villages either indiscriminately or targeting civilians. that is been the mo as they are pushed around. ukrainian forces are trying to push forward, they are getting bogged down by this artillery and serviced surface rockets. i should mention that a lot of the service of surface rockets are intended to be serviced air rockets, so they are again being indiscriminately fired into these places. there is this attack in russia, across the border. this seems to be a kind of insider attack. two gunman, as the russians say from his former soviet state and the only denounced they have given we training on child russian forces when they turned their guns and fired along the russian troops. 11 dead, 15 wounded. people here are certainly hoping that that is a sign that
11:25 am
russian society starting to crack when it comes to the war. that might be optimistic thinking, but certainly thinking from the ground here. >> let's talk about some of the reporting and read in the washington post. this came a few days ago from moscow saying that the men were essentially lining up at the border to try to flee the draft. here in 2000 men, they are trying to recruit, define on top behalf of russia on the war in ukraine. the washington post now started -- anyway, it was a startling post to say the least. >> start a langley? >> there you go. essentially how men are being pulled from cafés, restaurants, to fight on behalf of russia in the war in ukraine. have you heard of anything like this happening? >> yeah, we have. we have been hearing these reports. the same word, incorrectly. of abductions. that's what ukrainian forces say, people being abducted along the front. when you those being regions
11:26 am
that were annexed illegally by russia. that is of course the language being used by ukrainians and americans, illegal in a section. -- they are moving their families back to russia and using them as -- they are taking prisoners, shortening their sentence or saying we will let you out of prison if you fight this war. all of this is a long way of saying that it seems that vladimir putin is running out of resources. human resources, ammunition, military resources. he is running for it in the ukrainians are betting on that at least becoming true -- >> it shows complete another desperation on the russian russian presidents part to grab from everywhere. kyle perry for us, as always, thank you for helping through that. appreciate it. coming up everybody, democrats making their pace on the economy with the midterms just three weeks away. the most expensive races are also the closest. how ad spending is playing a critical role of the cycle. we will be right back. ill be right back. wipes,

11:31 am
economists now that believe a recession in the next 12 months is likely. do you think that the federal service currently helping a hurting situation? >> i think they are hurting the situation. i think that it is wrong to be saying that the way out we were going to deal with inflation is by lowering wages and increasing unemployment. it is not what we should be doing. this inflation thing is real issue and a global issue. the people on the top are doing very well, i don't hear going after working people. >> that was bernie sanders a short time ago on meet the press on how dire the economy is right now. with just -- that concern is not lost on the president. i wanna bring in josh -- at the white house right now.
11:32 am
the president made a major west coast op on this very topic, but is that messaging getting through to americans? >> it's been a real struggle, yasmin, for democrats in the white house to figure out how to talk about the economy on the campaign trail this year and how to that needle but i have an economic record that they feel very good about. economic records of jobs created, historically low unemployment. at the same time, they know that is not what is on the minds of most voters. most americans are more concerned right now about this pocketbook issues stemming from inflation in this high prices because for nobody is this issue are on the campaign trail than president biden himself, who for better for worse gets the blame on the credit for the state of the economy. as president biden has been campaigning this week on the west coast of oregon, california, he has been trying to talk about they have done to
11:33 am
low unemployment and inflation. also pivoting to what they say would be a disastrous effort by republicans if they went in office to take economic steps such as putting up social security for a vote every year. also, trying to quickly change the conversation to abortion where democrats feel that they have a real opportunity to rev up voters who are upset about the dobbs decision. extending they hope voters will be more focused on than the state of economy and high prices. -- >> present off to campaign on the economy leading up to the midterms and we know former president barack obama altering the campaign trail ahead of midterms. that's been her moment, josh, if we can. with the wrap up of the j 6th hearings, or so we think, there is always a wonder as to what the president's thinking with all of this information trickling out from the committee's investigations. now we're getting pretty rare comment from the president. what did he say? >> president biden has been pretty disciplined up to this point in not talking about what is happening with the january six committee. he's very firm in not wanting
11:34 am
to give the impression that there is any interference from the white house into any of these investigations into former president trump. he did on the hill, the justice department, he doesn't want to look like they are putting the thumb on the scale in any way. baskin robbins in oregon last night, he decided to weigh in on what he saw was the final basket of hearing. take a look. >> -- [inaudible] that's 1 million badillo actually devastating. [inaudible] [inaudible] any more i say about it, justify [inaudible] >> president biden emphasizing that he is not speaking with
11:35 am
attorney general merrick garland about any of these investigations into donald trump. he wants to make sure that people have the impression that the independence of the justice department and federal federal prosecutors are being restored in the white house. so he accuses former president trump of ignoring when he was president. >> josh lederman, for us, thank you. a beautiful washington, d.c. day. the leaves falling gently behind you. thank you so much. just three weeks left until the midterms and a number of races are going to go down to the wire. political report has four senate races as a toss-up. these are most competitive races, either chance has a good chance of winning. georgia, nevada, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. that's why we are talking about them so much over the past couple of weeks. i want to bring in jessica taylor, the senator and governors under the -- report. all of this comes down to ad spending dollars, right? i know that you have been looking at this when it comes
11:36 am
to many of these competitive races, what did you find? >> what we find is that because of democrats having better fundraising overall, we are continuing to see that pattern in the final report to yesterday, that candidates get better ad rates than super pacs. republicans are lying a lot on super packed, outside entities, to try to make up this difference, this disparity. the money that candidates can spend six times maybe more farther i last point in the race with just how expensive advice are. >> -- let's look at these toss-up states. first of georgia, nevada, wisconsin as well. let's talk georgia, first. are you seeing any movement there especially after the -- the other day? >> i do you think there's a tell, i think herschel walker
11:37 am
lowered expectations for himself. he performed very well, i thought. it was sort of a snap debate. at least the last half and different things. obviously he saw these allegations that he paid for a former girlfriends abortion after holding such an anti-abortion stance. domestic violence allegation still in his background. i think this is a race that i actually don't think he will be decided on election day. if no candidate gets 50%, which i think -- this goes to a december 6th runoff. if dak controls senate it could be déjà vu like after 2020 into january 2021. >> what about the other states, pennsylvania, nevada, wisconsin as well? >> for democrats sunder, -- serving first term. she is running against adam black -- former attorney general whose family, whose grandfather was senator and governor. that is just a very transient
11:38 am
state. the republican senate to do better in midterms. i think the consensus among republicans and -- that she remains the most vulnerable. if democrats lose a seat there, they after percent another one somewhere. that's where pennsylvania comes into play, then, because they are able to flood that seat from red to blue. i think this most unlikely outcome is no net change. it could be the republicans lose the seat but democrats gayness eat. they're back a 50/50. democrats to hold control that way, where 50, 1:49 either for republicans or democrats. i think we will see minimal overall change. >> we will hold you to that, for now. we will be looking for right after election day to talk more about it and see if what you predict comes true. good to talk to you. up next, everybody. the infighting technical failures behind the former presidents social media platform. a whistleblower speaks out. don't go anywhere. t go anywhere. now ports can know where every piece of cargo is.

11:40 am
11:41 am
11:42 am
a stunning new report from the washington post detailing a chaotic, toxic environment at the centerpiece of donald trump's post-presidential business plans. a whistleblower from trump media and technology group detailed from the sec, what the post described as bitter infighting, technical failures, and i can audit chaotic jockeying for power the company that runs fledgling social network truth social. it also describes the scene where the phone president who got 90% of the shares at the company for use of his name in a minimal involvement i w the cofounders into giving his wife, melania, shares. -- identified as the senior vice president of operations, who has now been fired from the company. the former president is going to answer questions under oath this coming week. in the east jean carroll lawsuit after a judge denied trump's attempt to delay testimony. -- accusing trump of defaming her
11:43 am
in 2019 by saying she lied and was only motivated by money after she accused him of raping her in a new york department store in the mid 1990s. his deposition is now scheduled for wednesday on appeals court continues to consider whether trump was acting in official capacity as president when he denied the accusation. that decision could significantly change the case. he has called the allegations a hoax and lie. and nbc legal analyst barbara quaid for round two. so, donald trump is going to testify this coming week. or, offer his deposition. he pled the fifth the last time around with new york attorney on the case. is it likely can he do the same here? >> i don't think so. that is because he is criminal liability has passed the statute of limitations. so, if you were to invoke the fifth amendment here that would be tricky. i guess he could find some way
11:44 am
to do it on the basis of a false statement. if he has made a statement in the past and then contradicts that here, and that would mean prior statement could be seen as criminal. there could be a convoluted way to invoke the fifth amendment here. not on its face, because the past siege of the statute of limitations. there is new york law in the state of new york that allows survivor of sexual assault to sue their assailants, but that is a civil action, not a criminal action. v amendment protects only against criminal prosecutions. i think this will be a really interesting deposition to watch play out. >> i mentioned this a little earlier, i want you to explain it to folks. the judge wrote, in his decision, the lawsuit still requires a ruling from the federal appeals court in d.c. to determine whether the former president was acting in an official capacity when he defamed e. jean carroll back in 2019. why would this decision changed the course of this case?
11:45 am
>> yes, so if the judge, the court, in the d.c. circuit ultimately rules that what donald trump was doing was in his official capacity as president, which is certainly a strong argument against that the scope of your duties as president is to engage in defamatory language against somebody who's accused two of rape. if the d.c. circuit says that anything he says regarding his reputation is part of the school scope of his duties, then what happens is that the government substitutes in itself for the individual. when the government substitutes itself in, it can claim immunity from suit. so, if he is a successful in that ruling that he was acting within the scope of his in employment that would be the end of the case likely. >> i want to talk about eeg carols intentions. her lawyer says she is suing
11:46 am
trump for the 1984 case next month under this new york law that you briefly mentioned, that opens up the statute of limitations in these cold cases. old, i should say, abuse cases. what would you see come from that? >> it is a separate cause of action and separate case. in some ways it may be a bit cleaner than this one. this one relies on the idea of defamation. there is a little bit about boot straps argument to reach back to the prior rape case to say that when he falsely denied it and said many ugly things about each viqueira, he was defaming her. that can also be a very high standard. she is someone in the public domain, so you might need to show acting with malice. if you can, instead, proceed under the new statute it is new so there is a bit of legal uncertainty there. you can go directly to the issue of whether he did or did not sexually assault her in 1984. >> as always, great to see you today, barbara.

11:53 am
should not keep his position, do you have updates on if he is right now? >> i have called for his resignation. our council here in woodlyn park will be presented with a resolution on wednesday night calling him for his resolute resignation. i have other municipalities who have already done so. i think most noteworthy is that mr. trost's predecessor, republican commissioner on the board of elections has already called for his resignation in light of this video that has surfaced. >> has he had any response to these calls as of yet? >> we have heard nothing about whether or not he will resign. i do know he tried to defend himself on social media. at the end of the day, voters here in the county deserve to have 100% confidence that the election is going to be carried out in a fair and just way. >> are you concerned that they will not? are you concerned in general about election interference? >> listen, mr. trost took an

oath. he took an oath to fairly, justly, carrying the duties of the elections office in the county. i think in light of this video his objectivity and ability to be fair is called into question. i think it would do the republican party and the state county right to ask him to step down, ask the governor to appoint a new republican election official so we have confidence in the election. >> what are you doing, along with other officials you know of, in order to protect election security? >> well, i can tell you this. we will certainly have challengers at the board of elections on election day. i have the utmost confidence in the two democratic appointed election commissioners, as well as the second republican who is on the board of elections. we will be monitoring what happens there throughout the day to make sure that mr. trost's actions here don't lean
