what does he have to do to sell that properly? >> while he is going to run a little bit of a road scarred and strategy. because the republicans are still having a primary. there is no reason that we're going to engage with the republicans, so it would be, you know, come prevention, time i think you see biden and harris really going after the former presidents, whoever they nominate. >> thank you, guys that's the top of the. our my really good friend, yasmin fussy v and is glaring amani second. i'm going to say bye. she's clearing, love you anyway. by, i'm out. >> hi everyone, good to see you. i'm fussy. and the house chaos is back in action, with republicans facing a shutdown threat, as well as a impeachment inquiry into joe biden. the latest from capitol hill, plus this -- >> when you go to bed at night,

do you worry about going to jail? >> no, i don't. i don't even think about it. >> christian walker's one-on-one interview with former president donald trump, including his thoughts on potentially going to jail, as well as some eyebrow raising claims. we are fact-checking the former president, as you can imagine, there is a lot of material to work with. plus, texas attorney general, ken paxton, escaping an impeachment led by members of his own party. that is not the end of the story when it comes to corruption allegations against him. we're live in the picket lines of the uaw's continued against the big three automakers ahead. on the one year anniversary of the death of nasa genie, a vote to keep up the fight. >> we have buried our dead, we have been getting arrested and tortured. it is up to the international community to decide which part of history they want to be a

part of. >> my special report on the future of the movement for women's rights in iran. that's coming up this hour as well. we want to begin in the nation's capital. this is where tensions are high, ahead of what's likely to be an intense couple of weeks. today we're hearing from leadership on both sides of the house but the chances of averting a government shutdown in two weeks. on top of that, the impeachment inquiry into president biden, launched by speaker mccarthy as there is a total lack of evidence. we want to bring a, and if we, can julie tsirkin, he's at the capitol for us. julie, starting things off for us, thank you for that. and what are you hearing about the chances about an impending shutdown here, only 11 days or so left in the month of september. that deadline is looming. >> yes, two weeks from today, the governments isn't fund of congress, that they don't come to an agreement, we're looking at a shutdown. we don't have a lot of time left to figure things out. and the words of ken, bud republican congressman from colorado who is against that impeachment inquiry, but all for cutting spending, this is the perfect storm for speaker

mccarthy. i talked him today, i saw, him he seems somewhat in better spirits than on thursday when he came out of that heated conference, meeting with members of his party. he really couldn't get them on the same page for just about anything. he said he worked through the weekend to get agreement here. they're not there yet. there's still a lot of issues that there are hard. on from short term government funding deal, how long that's going to, go they're going to include border security, money ukraine relief, disaster aid, all of these outstanding questions, and addition to, by the, way funding the entire federal government. here's what he said about these last-minute points that he's trying to work out with members of his party, and on the flip side, you will hear from nancy pelosi, the former speaker of the house, of course, and what she had to say but all of us. we'll talk about it on the other side. watch. >> unfortunately, i had a handful of members last week that literally, the republicans stop the department of defense appropriations from coming forward. i'm trying to get that to move forward, to stop, to make sure that the republicans aren't stopping us from being able to

get our work done before the 30th. >> there was an agreement reached when we were lifting the debt ceiling as to how we would go forward with the budget, which apparently the republican leadership is walking away from that. i hope that's not the case. as you see, the debate going on in that caucus, that is something that they are proposing. this is a government shutdown, it's very serious. >> now speaker mccarthy doesn't want to walk away from the deal he himself made with president biden to avoid a default crisis that we are barreling towards a couple months ago. remember, they agreed to spending levels. now, some conservatives, and they told mccarthy this, them they want to spend even less money. we have a democrat-controlled senate, and that's mccarthy's points. he needs his republicans in his party to come to get there at the end of the day. they need to fund the government. it's very real here, amber looking at a potential shot down. >> talk to me about how we expect this impeachment inquiry to play out over the next couple weeks, julie. >> yes, again, i talk about kim

bach because he wrote that opinion piece over the weekend. he is a member of the house freedom caucus, and he threw cold water all over it. the reason we didn't have a vote in this impeachment inquiry is because mccarthy doesn't have the votes. he is trying to make all these different factions of his conference happy here, but the bottom line is, he was asked today whether hunter biden, for example, was going to be subpoenaed. he defer to the chair of the judiciary committee. he said his committee chairs are continuing their investigations, the so far, they have not been able to link any actions of the president's son to president joe biden himself. that is a burden they have to, prevent one that they will work on for the next weeks, months, however long it will take. until they can get to anything. certainly moderate members of his party are not sold on this idea. >> julie tsirkin for, thank, you julie. appreciate it. so i want to turn now to new meet the press moderator, christian walker's bombshell interview with the former presidents. president -- going on the record about many

things. i want to play a portion, where he faces some questions about the 2020 election, and the false claims of the rigged election, and as he repeatedly calls it. >> do you call the shots though? >> molly hemingway voted great book -- >> we calling the shots, ultimately? >> molly hemingway, highly respected, she wrote a book of, a bustling book called raked. >> were you calling the shots, mister president? ultimately. >> as to whether or not i believed it was rigged? sure. it was my decision. i listen to some people, some people said that. like guys like bill barr, who's a staff, but he wasn't there at the time. he didn't do his job, because he was right. you know he was afraid of, he was afraid of being impeached. he was petrified to be impeached. he said, how do you not get impeached? don't do anything. >> three times he was asked to call the shots. these were the stunning exchanges that we saw, as laid

out in a new piece on nbc news.com. jonathan allen, senior politics reporter, aaron one of the writers of that peach, he's joining me now. jonathan, as always, it's great to talk to you. as for the times where our colleague christian walker, and finally, he enters, there is no way in heck the former president of the united states does not want to say that he was calling the shots. even if it means that it could get him into a future legal trouble. i could imagine that plane on repeat in front of a courtroom of jurors. >> yeah, i'm not a lawyer, but first of, all what an exceptional interview from christian, what an exceptional moment, one exceptional moderator we see for the first time. you're absolutely right, i'm not a lawyer, and yet even i know that there is a pretty basic defense for anyone who is talking to lawyers about anything, as if they are acting on the advice of what donald trump said in the interview. they want to get an answer. certainly he listened to, lawyers the senior

administration officials, they told him what he did want to hear. he listen to some of the lawyers who told him what he did want to hear. ultimately, as he, said it was my decision. yes, he said it twice. he also said it was his choice. by using that word. not sure whether that lines up deepening his legal problems, but it undercuts the idea that his lawyers might be able to go out there to say that he was acting on the advice of the council. >> then there was issues surrounding abortion, they have an uphill battle when it comes to abortion. they were saying last week that they were thinking of re-branding the term pro-life because it wasn't really resonating and landed with their voters when you're looking napoleon. 60 to 70% of americans believe that, in abortion rights. take a listen to where the former president stands when it comes to abortion, and then we'll talk. >> are we going to agree to a number of weeks, four months, however you wanted to finance,

and both sides are going to come to get there, and both sides, both sides, and a pacific statement, they are going to come together, and for the first time in 52 years, you'll have an issue that we can put behind us. >> at the federal level? >> it could be stated, could be federal. frankly, i don't care. >> first time in 50 plus years that we're going to put it behind him, from his mouth to god's ears. it hasn't happened yet. then he can't even answer the question as to whether it's going to be at a federal or state level. and indicator, really, if not only with the former president is when it comes to abortion, but where the republican party is. >> yasmin, i think president trump is doing everything he possibly can to avoid taking a position on this highly controversial issue. this plays one way in the primary, and plays another way in the general election. >> i also think, and i want you to finish, but i want to remind folks that before he was president at the united states, back in the early 2000s, this was a man who was very vocal

about the fact that he was a pro abortion rights. then maybe only about-face when he began running for president for the united states. i'm wondering if that's plain intuit, or if it's really politics. sure jonathan, keep going. >> i think it's largely politics, but one of the interesting things he said during the interview was basically that he reiterated that he had advised republican candidates to talk differently about abortion because they wouldn't win elections if they were winning -- that they were talking about some of the harsher restrictions, with the earlier month restrictions, of the new restrictions that we have been talking about, you know, that have been part of the public debate sense roe v. wade was overturned. i think it's interesting that you set for the first time in 52 years that, you know, the americans could come together, citing roe v. wade as the moments of, you know, division amongst the american people. the american people up and divided over abortion for much longer than that. there were state laws on abortion a low for the united states before roe v. wade and validated them. so it's a particular perspective to say that that

was the moment that roe v. wade started, but in truth, has been much deeper, and harder to resolve, and it is one that people feel very passionately about on both sides, which is why you haven't seen, you know, you haven't seen an agreement in the couple years sense it was overturned. >> jonathan allen, thank you, sir, appreciated as always. coming up, we will be fact-checking for trump scams from his interview with nbc news senior reporter on. that also, thousands of workers are out on strike. we're going to take you live to a united auto workers picket line for the latest on negotiations. we are back in just 60 seconds. k in just 60 seconds pano ai chooses t-mobile for business for 5g solutions... ...because t-mobile helps pano ai innovate, so they can stop the spread of wildfires. now's the time to see what america's largest 5g network can do for your business. ♪♪ we're not writers, but we help you shape your financial story. ♪♪

detroit early this week to support the talks. right now, over 10,000 workers have walked out of the job in a move that has crippled the automakers. joining us on the picket lines and toledo, ohio -- also with, us a former labor adviser to president biden, as well as acting secretary to president obama. he is the currents -- welcome to you. both start us off, if you will, give us an update on where we are at this hour. >> well we heard from sean fain on our network this morning when he was asked about the status of these negotiations, on the progress that's been made. he said that progress is slow. he said that he can say, or didn't want to say that there were closing the gap here. it does look like this is an impasse that continues at this hour. we know discussions are happening, they're paused initially on friday, but they are happening. offers are being exchanged. what we're learning is a little bit more about what the uaw has been asking, for and what the big three automakers have been

responding with. we know those. demands of 40% wage increase, the better work life balance. investments and pensions, and dean the -- which allows for workers to make different rates of pay. the big thing that you continue to hear about is that wage number, the latest offers from all three automakers. it's been about a 20% increase over the four courses of the years. this is what i've asked directly to workers who are out here picketing,, striking i want you to listen to what they told me. >> what we don't understand is what the conditions we work in, what we sacrifice. people are talking about the 32 hour work week, but we work far beyond that. most of us for 60 hours a week. we want a choice as to whether we work a 40, or 60. >> when you listen to what the automakers and executives are saying, they are saying that they cannot sustain what is being asked for and what is

being demanded by the uaw to. you have the ford ceo saying that it could bankrupt them as a company. stellantis saying that it's difficult to make it competitive with other automakers. this is a fight, a negotiation, a bargaining that is taking place. i will tell you when you talk to the workers out here they say that this is a righteous cost. they are willing to stay on here as long as necessary in order to get what they think is a fair and strong contract. >> all right, shaq brewster for us. thank you shaq. let's dive into some of this. so shaq, i mentioned the u a w presidents that was on air with jonathan capehart earlier today, on friday he essentially said that he and the president as well was scared of the strike. scared because of how it could affect the economy, and scared of how it could affect electric vehicles in which the president is in favor of. on our air, he said that it negotiations people are working hard. it is not about the president it is about working class

people. what is your reaction to what we are hearing from the uaw union president? >> the president is right, it's not about president biden, it's about uaw members, leadership, and their strategy to get the big three automakers to make a fair deal with that. i think that president biden has showed a tremendous amount of courage, and leaning forward, and saying that the autoworkers need more and that we need to rebuild the middle class. he has taken on the right wing, he has taken on the chamber of commerce. he has taken on special interests and one. i think that he is not afraid, he is showing a lot of courage. at the same time the uaw members and leadership showing tremendous courage, taking on very wealthy, corporate interest with a lot of support from the corporate media. in an effort to fight for their families. fight for one another, and fight for their community. so, i think that we are seeing a lot of courage on the workers side of the ledger. the question is will the

corporate leadership, while the big three leadership show courage and say to the shareholders we need to treat these workers as shareholders, not just talks in the machine. >> -- chuck broussard essentially saying they're saying it's not sustainable. what uaw union workers are asking for is not to quote unquote bankrupt the current company. but to make them competitive with acquire companies. you also heard that salaries of the ceos of these companies as well. i want to play for you what we heard on our air today about just that. >> i find it really pathetic to hear a couple of the ceos when they were asked about their 40% increases in the last four years, on top of there already excessive million dollar salaries to say that they are pairing for their performance. that's completely incorrect, they're paid for our workers performance. >> what do you make of that? >> i think he is exactly right. those cars are not built by the

ceos. those cars are not painted by the ceos. those cars are not sent down this assembly line by the ceos. the workers do that work, and as a result, these companies have been fantastically profitable. they collectively made 21 billion dollars in the first half of this year. i think that the three companies crying poverty, and there's no way that they can compete if they're fair to the workers. the workers cost is only about 5% of the cost of the vehicle. it's kind of hard to make the case that if they treat their workers fairly, and give them a fair share of the profits that they have been making, that somehow they are going to be bankrupt. the truth is that the companies want workers to subsidize, the transition to electric vehicles by keeping the pay low, having a lot of temporary workers. having a lot of part time workers, that is not the workers job, it's not the workers job to subsidize the workers vehicles and subsidize the workers pockets. >> my understanding is you feel

that this is going to go on for a couple of weeks, it's not gonna be resolved this week? >> i would take the phrase, couple of, out of that. i think it could be several weeks and be i'm beginning to get the feeling it could stretch into months. i don't want to be that pessimistic but the only thing they're trying to do here is really huge. they are trying to change the trajectory of these companies relationship with their workers. they want to fight to claw back the concessions that they gave back in the early part of this century, and the last part of last century. they want to get to a fair wage that is sustainable over an extended period of time and fair working conditions. so this is a huge fights. there is a lot of distance to be reversed between the two sides. bargaining positions. i think it's gonna take some time in the way that the union is conducting the strikes suggest that they also think it is going to take some time. >> south harris, they so much sir. appreciate it. >> thanks. >> still ahead, we are underway as we speed toward the october start date of the r.i.c.o.

president trump's lengthy interview with kristen, covered a wide breadth of topics. including the 2020 election where trump continued his false claims the election was stolen. >> you called some other outside lawyers, you said they had crazy theories. why were you listening to them? were you listening to them because they were telling you what you want to hear? >> you know what i listen to myself. i saw what happened. i saw that election, i thought it was over at 10:00 in the evening. >> you listen to your instincts? >> my instincts are a big part of it, and the thing that is

scott made to where i am. my instincts, but i also listen to people. there were many, i could give you many books, there are books that are written on how the election was rigged. there were numerous books that were written on how the election was rigged. >> just to be clear, were you listening to your lawyer's advice, or your own instincts? >> i was listening to different people. and when i added it all up, the election was rigged. >> you are calling the shots though? >> in fact, miley henry wrote a great book. >> excuse me, miley hemingway was highly respected and great. she wrote a book of, a bestselling books called raked. >> were you calling the shots that mister president? ultimately? >> as to whether or not i believed it was rigged? for sure. >> just because there is a book written about, it doesn't mean it's true. nbc senior reporter has been fact-checking the presidents interview, and is joining us now with more on this. i cannot believe we have to do this. but we have to do this. the election was not rigged, the election was not stolen, by president biden. in fact, president donald trump,

was once again misleading and lying to the american public. >> absolutely, more than a dozen times where he says it is raked, crook, so raked. i've been coloring election policy almost as long as president trump. there is no evidence of that. he is doubling down even harder than he was right after the election. and it's just not true. and no matter how many times he says that, it is still not going to be true. >> and then there's the politics around an abortion as well because he was asked about that. whether he would institute a federal ban on abortion. what weeks he would draw that out, or leave it to the states. and he flip flopped on that as well. talking to the politics surrounding abortion. where republicans are in that are not knowing where they stand, considering where american stand overall. i want to play for you that moment, and how we fact-checked on the other side. >> the radical people on this a really, the democrats that say

after five months, six months, seven months, eight months, and even after birth you are allowed to terminate the baby. >> democrats are not saying that. did you sign federal regulation that would ban abortion in 15 weeks? >> now, let me just tell you what i do. i'm gonna call together with all the groups, and we're gonna have something that is acceptable. >> sounds easy when he explains it that way a, but be, he talks about how, when he talks about abortion legislation, he talks about when democrats want late term abortions. when in fact that is not the truth. and there are real, major exceptions when something like that goes on. it is so rare for some thing to seek out that type of care. >> yes, and i think we should be clear. trump has immediately -- especially saying that democrats are advocating for infanticide. that is not happening. at there is no one advocating for murder of babies.

i think we need to be clear there. but what he is actually doing, is misconstruing a remark from a virginia governor who was talking about whether or not nonviolent pregnancies, the babies born from those bought non vital presidencies would be resuscitated. essentially the mother and the doctors would decide how to handle. essentially a dying infant. he is misconstruing that as they are going to kill babies here. and i think that we should be really clear that late term abortions as it's being described is really rare. less than 1% of abortions happen after 21 weeks. and as we said, they're usually really tragic stories of non viable pregnancies and essentially a infants that are not going to make it. >> exactly. really good stuff there jane. he also talked about wanting to lower taxes. i want to play that moment for you. and then we will chat. >> you know, when i lower taxes. we took in more revenue.

you know, defense, defense where we are at the time. you know a lot happens. but when i lower taxes i cut taxes tremendously. created tremendous jobs. so more importantly, we had more revenue with lower taxes than we did with higher taxes. >> but then kristin went on to point out that he failed to mention the ballooning deficit because of his tax plan that he put into place. >> absolutely. tax receipts of the economy typically go up every year. but it doesn't mean that you are closer balancing in the same way. the deficit went up, president trump went on to claim that he was gonna solve the deficit to but covid got in the way. that's also not true. he had really seriously pursue deficit reduction. he actually spent quite a bit as president. by making bipartisan deals with democrats to do more spending. just doesn't happen. his math is not right here. >> he's also trying to what it seems to be, digging in on some of the polling number where it shows a lot of americans feel

as if republicans especially hill that donald trump will do better on the economy than joe biden. talking about this and talking about the price of food. and talking about inflation right now. he talked specifically about the price of bacon. talk to me about what he tried to strike there with the price of bacon and kind of the misnomers about it? >> this is one of the things that confound me as a fact checker. because what he was trying to talk about with saying that inflation was up. it's heading consumers on food pretty badly. that is all true. but then he cherry-picked number and says that bacon is five times more expensive. it's about 11 times more expensive in cities right now. i think in the midwest seven times or 7% more expensive. it just isn't rising to the level that he is claiming. food is absolutely up but the president also takes these things and runs with it to try to make it some better. >> right to make it sound better.

and takes it to the extreme instead and tell stories about it. jane, as always, we are thankful for you. we also want to know. the same invitation was extended to president biden as well by kristin walker. and that interview against -- was not up the woods yet yet. after a republican controlled attorney ken paxson was killed -- but the states tabler is still facing state fraud charges and he's been under the investigation of the fbi sent october 2020, so far no charges have been filed there, we want to bring in nbc's priscilla thompson who is in austin for a. so get to talk to you today. , anything more we are to learning from paxton after this official statement on the acquittal. and do we know whether these other investigations stand? >> yes, right now, ken paxton seems to be relishing in his victory, he released that

statement saying that this acquittal means that the truth has prevailed and his work will continue and is already taken in at the biden administration in their policies. once again he has sued them often in the past over their policies and of course as you mentioned he is returning to work while he is still dealing with some legal challenges. one being this felony fraud case that is been ongoing for the past eight years that he is under indictment for, and those are accusations that he persuaded investors to buy stock in a tech firm, disclosing, not disclosing that he was being paid for doing that. that is the one issue that is likely going to be heading to trial here in the next couple of months, potentially. the other issue is that he is also under an fbi investigation related to the claims that was at the center of this impeachment trial. those whistleblower claims as a reminder, earlier this year, he

settled a wrongful termination suit with those whistleblowers who reported him and his behavior. what they said was an abuse of power. bribery, conspiracy, all those things that we heard about in the impeachment trial. he settled that sued for three point $3 million. that investigation is still ongoing. but i will say, he is the third term attorney general here. he has been under investigation since his first term as attorney general and none of that has seemed to stick so far. so it remains to be seen how exactly all of this is going to play out. but he is certainly not in the all clear just yet. yasmin? >> thank you priscilla, appreciate it. straight ahead, hurdling towards the courtroom. we are just over a month away from the first trial in georgia's election interference case. a week of action ahead that will give legal observers some whiplash. and we've got just the person to break it down for us. we will be right back! but we help you shape your financial story. ♪♪

whether these identities of these jurors should be shielded or made public. i want to bring in melissa redmond, former count fulton county d.a.. now a brand-new, msnbc analyst. welcome to the family and thanks for joining us on this. i want to pick up on a couple of things that we are hearing to be coming this coming this week. for most is this questionnaire given to these jury, what with that process look like and what is that questionnaire look like? the pool? for the poor? >> thank you for having me, basically the purpose of the questionnaire is to narrow down the number of people actually brought to the courthouse that will need to be there for the actual trial. so the defense attorneys as well as the prosecution have an opportunity to submit questions, hopefully they will work together to find out what questions they both agree should be asked, and then they will also likely submit their

own questions that they don't agree on to the judge, judge mcafee to make the determination of whether those should be included on the questionnaire but the presidents advise that the juries may have that they are so deeply rooted that they may impact that jurors ability to be an impartial jury based on a specific set of issues that they want to question beforehand, before they are ever brought into the courtroom for those really individual questions where the attorneys are given an opportunity to learn more about them and to decide whether or not they think that they will be the best suited. so really these unofficial questions are going through hardships, any other issues that will make it very clear to all of the parties involved that they wouldn't be part of that pool that are brought in for that individual questioning. >> i want to talk about the identities of jurors as well. i know before the severing of these cases from the other 16 codefendants, and i say 16

because i'm not including the former president. so obviously kenneth chesebro, and sidney powell severed from all other codefendants. and the prosecution was advocating for not making the identities of the jurors public. we don't know where they stand on this now, that are assuming they feel the same way, a hearing is going to happen this wednesday on that, we know jack smith is asking for, in another case obviously up in d.c., a limited gag order because how the former president goes after people amidst his legal troubles. what are your expectations for, this as to whether or not the identities of these jurors will be public? >> i think it's very appropriate, an active step by the state considering what we have seen of the grand jurors being involved by a statute endure. the grand jurors names are listed on the indictment and that caused them to be exposed

to harassment that was brought to the attention of prosecutors and law enforcement. so it would make sure that you would as at the potential jurors be shielded proactively so that they are not intimidated before they ever hear any evidence in the case. and we don't want it to impact the willingness to serve. i don't imagine there will be much pushback from the defense. there's really no reason for any of the jurors to be made public, especially so early in the process. and even once they're selected, to protect their privacy while they are serving on the trial so that they can focus on the evidence that's being presented in the courtroom. >> do you expect the prosecution here, fani willis office to present the full picture of evidence that they have even in these true trials? >> i know there was the announcement made that however many trials occur, how many

defendants are severed from each other, and that they intend to present the entire case. i do think that there will be some pairing down of what evidence is absolutely necessary against these two particular defendants, not necessarily to go through every single aspect of the conspiracy, they still have to show and prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there was an enterprise. that they did conspire to, from the benefit of that enterprise, and show how they did that beyond a reasonable doubt. but that does not necessarily entail going into everything everyone else needs. so i know there was the representation, i think it will come down to how they determine what witnesses they are going to call, how long this trial is going to take. i would not be surprised if that is pared down a lot from the representations made initially. >> melissa redmon, thank you so much, and again welcome to the family. we're happy to have you. coming up in our next hour
