right? and, yes, the film is a touch scary. it has been called, "rolling stone," called it the scariest film of the year. it is not without hope. what you see is a group of reasoned leaders from both sides of the aisle coming together to diffuse an incredibly fine with the situation. situation. provocation for the conversation. a conversation we need to have for our country, because it doesn't end with the election, it is about how are we getting here, how are we standing on this precipice, how are we allowing this to happen? that is it for us this weekend, i am jonathan maher. thinks for joining us, we are back at 6:00 a.m. for morning joe, until then, take care of yourself. good morning, it is sunday, august 11th. the gang is back together, i am

alecia menendez, with symone sanders-townsend and michael steele. ahead, harris writes a hot streak. plus, team trump closes out a bizarre week by claiming they were hacked. it has us all thinking about 2016 all over again. in minnesota lieutenant governor, penny flenniken joins us to talk about tim walz and what he brings to the ticket. grab your coffee, settling for your weekend. we begin this morning with the trump campaign saying the radio group back in june. nbc news has not verified the hiker who was behind it. political press reported on the saying it received trump campaign documents from an anonymous account last month. now, nbc news reports quote documents include research papers on at least two of the contenders to be trump's

running mate, including the potential republican or vice presidential nominee, jd vance. all of the this comes as donald trump struggled to adjust to vice president, kamala harris's rising momentum. new reporting from the "new york times" theisen dives into the chaos of the scene on what the newspaper described as the worst three weeks of donald trump of the cabin joining me is joe walsh, former deputy communications director and associate counsel to vice president, kamala harris. we have a lot to get to today. we didn't even need an intro this morning, because truly, let's start with the hack. i just want to pull this up. so, microsoft confirmed, and this is nbc news's van hilliard and alexander marquez, the trump campaign spokesperson, stephen chung pointed to an iranian group, this one connected to the iranian revolutionary guard corps, or

on a presidential campaign. we need to be clear that microsoft did not identify the company that was targeted and a spokesperson for microsoft and abc news reached out declined to share details about the incident beyond what was written in their report, friday, and nbc news has not been able to verify that iran was behind the hack for the trump campaign. so, all of that on the table. joe? >> claimed. i don't want to be the guy at the table, but i will be the person at the table. the trump administration claimed they were hacked. everyone's initial reaction should be, we can't believe him, we can't believe that. and that is their fault, simon, you can't believe anything thata comes out of donald trump's mouth. this is serious business, but i wanted verify first. >> it is too specific for me. >> really? i just want to back up and be clear, we know that some anonymous person, named robert, okay? was peddling internal information from the trump campaign. so, while we have not-- as nbc

news hasn't independently verify that it was coming out, iran, we don't know that somehow some internal documents got out, that is a fact. so, what are we skeptical about? >> the origin of the hack. i mean, i can hack myself if i want. i mean, i agree with joe. i'm sorry, this is a space that has been created by him. >> yes. >> and now i am just supposed to both unbelieving because he says he was hacked by iranians, with such specificity when nobody else in government or elsewhere can verify that? so, i just -- i hear you and i understand what you're saying, but at the end of the day, this is the environment donald trump has created. so now, if i show skepticism or joe shows skepticism, don't come at me, because you remember russia, russia, russia? can we talk about russia and we hear trump in 2016 if we could, real quick, thank you very much. >> if it is russia, it is

really bad for a different b reason my because it shows how little risk act they have for our country, when they would hack into a major party and get everything. but it would be interesting to see, i will tell you this, russia, if you are listening emma i hope you are able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. i think you will probably be rewarded mightily, by our press. >> hello. >> thank you. so, joe? >> that is why. this man. americans should decide who our american president, this was a serious issue in 2016 trump encouraged russia to hack, welcomed it. i can't believe the thing he says now until we have actual proof. >> verification. >> just to back it up a little bit.

i think part of what we are all contending with his the inevitable reality that we know that there are four and there's who want to sow seeds of chaos. right? and so, if you are a campaign, not only are you dealing with a media environment that has changed, not only are democrats on an asymmetrical playing field with donald trump, you are also constantly mindful of the fact that, at any moment, the ground can shift underneath you, because there are four actors who are trying to add chaos to the environment. >> i agree with what others at the table have said about the importance to verify here, but i do think this does go to an important issue of our democracy. in 2016, we saw how the hack impacted our democracy and i think that if it does turn out that there was some sort of foreign meddling, that is something that people need to be really careful about and i would encourage the public and i would encourage journalist to be careful of how they use that

information if that is the case, and i think there's a lot more information that we need to find out before people start deciding how to move forward di here. >> so, the question i think ultimately boils down to what both of you said and that is okay, let's get the information, let's get the at verification and what we are hearing now is from one side, nbc has not verified-- i don't think anybody else has been really verify this, politico or anybody else seeing this information. so, in that sense, we have to wait. and the campaign has to go on. so, how does the campaign both campaigns gone at this point? what measures should they be taken? because we do know that we do have four actors at this point about, you know, who want to get into this race in a way that is not healthy. what do you suggest campaign should be doing right now? >> being as vigilant as they can, michael, and look-- i'm

sure the harris campaign will put out an appropriate statement that's it this is a really serious issue if it is true, americans, not foreign actors should decide who our presidents are. but i-- 2016 was big. i mean, 2020 was a big deal. and the trump administration reacted to it, like, bring it on, welcomed it. we have got to be the opposite of that this time around. >> well. >> the thing, simon, those deep sighs, simon, they come, because this is not the wackiest and, potentially that has happened in this past week. the entire contour of this race has shifted, i'm sure you saw the new york times reporting, let me read you it. trump seems to want to wish a

situation away. biden regretted this decision to go out and he has also peppered his advisors with questions but whether harris can keep our momentum, rachel he is clearly on unworn, to say the very least, and there has been a question if this is a different campaign structure than past trump elections. this is-- there is actual infrastructure here. i think the big question is, can they get him back on something, resembling a message? >> i don't think so. i think donald trump is absolutely spiraling. the trump campaign was clearly prepared to run against president biden and now that, lane harris is at the top of the ticket i don't know what to do and it is why you see him throwing all of these sorts of offensive insult to see what six. nothing is landing and he o has had a really difficult few weeks. and put that in contrast with thinkable few weeks that vice

president harris has had, she has had incredible momentum and it has continued week after week. this week alone, with the announcement of governor, tim walz as her running mate, that was another continuance of the excitement about her candidacy, and i think people are seeing the vision, they are seeing the contrast and, as he continues to spiral, she is continuing to do better. >> you still running against biden, michael i talked about this i think his campaign, rachel, says you have a different opponent, he was there at night, two and half nights ago, he talking about joe biden, he won't move up. much has been made about the fact that chris and susie, who are now senior advisor running, the trump campaign. these are campaign professionals, these are folks that know what they're doing so on and so forth. why don't they have a strategy for this? >> they probably do. >> they say that they do, all of the republican strategist i talked to in the immediate

aftermath are like yeah, there's a plan for this there is clearly no plan. there's a candidate, but then there's also a campaign apparatus. >> but if the candidate following the plan, there is no plan right? i mean, that the problem with -- i mean, wiles is a good operative, donald trump is a seki candidate. >> yes, what was the plan? i didn't hear anything about the plan to hear them talking about, she was a di candidate, i hear them talking about, she was a woman, and republicans across the board, the speaker of the house had to send a note, saying let's not be racist. there's other things to attack k on policy. so, there was no plan, so why was it a plan? i am just wondering why there was a plan. >> i think it was a plan and the plan was to permit to-- she is very left on policy, but again, to michael's point, then you put the candidate to the campaign to mar-a-lago in 90 minutes and all he talks about his joe biden and i can't believe-- this is in fair, now

i have to be two candidates and then he goes after her in all of these personal ways. if you have a plan, but he is your candidate there is no plan. back no plan. >> you know who has got a plan? kamala harris and tim walz and they are executing it. >> joe and rachel, stick j around, because next, there's a secret trauma project 2025 training videos and these were i not a hack, okay? and they give new insights into donald trump a few plans. and cochair, cedric richmond will help us wrap up the blitz. you are watching the weekend.

donald trump is trying to run away from project 2025. but can't hide the fact that so many people from his administration worked on developing the exact extreme agenda with the heritage foundation. and there is video to prove it. pro public a obtained more than 14 hours of project 2025 training videos, including quote, the project 2025 architect videos include everything from the nut and bolt of governing to how to outwit bureaucrats. >> if the nut next republican president does not execute a dramatic course correction, there may never be another chance. so, if you're not on board with helping implement a dramatic course correction, because you are afraid it will damage your future employment prospects,

look, i get it, that is a real danger, it is a real thing, but please, do us all a favor and sit this one out. >> dramatic! dramatic! back with us, joe walsh and rachel. >> i think listening to them in their own words is probably the best way to understand what is we are talking about here, so i want watch another video, again, these are training videos from the heritage foundation project 2025, this is bethany, a conservative accu activist from her deputy chief of staff at her u.s. agency of international development in the trump administration, talking about messaging run climate change, take a look at this. >> climate change activists wield a lot of power, this is an issue to pay attention to, as it has infiltrated every part of the federal government. now, when i think of climate change, i immediately think of population control, don't you? i think about the people, who don't want you to have children, because of the impact on the environment.

>> i have just got to be honest, when i think about climate change, i don't, in fact, think about population control and the thing is, rachel, when i watch that clip, it had to mean the message, big shades of child the less cat lady energy. we start to see where jd vance's entire ideology ties into this, meaning, if they wanted to distant themselves from project 2025, then perhaps jd vance was not the best pick. >> i completely agree. i think that these videos just show how interconnected donald trump is with project 2025, not only did he choose jd vance as his running mate, which had-- is closely connected, but i saw that 29 out of the 36 speakers and these videos have ties to donald trump, after they worked in his administration, they worked on his campaign, they worked on his transition, and if you take a step back and think about what this agenda stands for, it stands for weakening the middle class, it

is for consolidating executive power into the oval office and gunning the federal government, important agencies like the department of education. it also stands for getting rid of social security in the affordable care act and eroding fundamental freedoms like reproductive rights, and so, i think this should be another alarm bell about how concerning project 2025 is in the first place and how interconnected donald trump is, and he can't run away from this agenda. it is the agenda that he and jd vance are running on. >> oh my god! because it is like-- okay. you know, what strikes me about these videos is just how benign, if you will, some of the language teams. she said there, bethany was it? bethany? bethany is like when i think of climate change i think of population control and it is-- >> matter of fact. >> matter of fact. that is so often how these messages are being delivered

and i think folks i look at these videos who say people are sing gravy crazy stuff, project 2025, these are all folks who worked very high up in the united states government, you know, these are people, bethany is a decision-maker, a deputy chief of staff, there's another video on the former assistant director of public affairs. >> play the video for the former assistant secretary of global affairs, honey, they are telling you, they are telling us. >> the american people, who vote for an conservative administration, they are not reading the "new york times", they are not reading the washington post. actually, to the contrary, if they published something they are going to assume it is false. so, the only way to reach them with heavy voice and credibility is through working with conservative media outlets. >> they are-- they are literally telling us, i think these people should take this

very seriously because project 2025, it is couple of different parts, one of them is that 900 page document, joe, but the other part is a training database that these videos that we saw, the training program, the other part that we saw is a database of willing participants who are going to follow what was in those videos. this is not some site operation. >> simone, people need to pay attention to this. michael, when i watch this and listen to these videos and think of project 2020, you and i are conservatives, because we leave believe in responsible, effective, limited restraint government. project 2025 is all about conservatives using a big government to push their agenda down the throat of the american people. this is really about turning the american president into a dictator. the harris company to continue to pound pound this issue. >> one of the final points to make is, you know, no matter how

hard you try to run and hide, donnie, you can't, this is all on you, baby, this is your platform, you were on the plane talking about it, you are at heritage talking about it, everybody on this is from your administration, this is you. and all of it, don't run away from it just go to the american people honestly, this is what i'm going to do to you with the people around me. if you reelect me. that is it. lien in. >> lena tillett. on it. >> joe walsh, rachel palermo, thank you very, very much. up next, the vice president and their running mate wrap up their week, with a night to remember in las vegas. former congressman, the cochair is standing by on what is next with the convention, just about a week away. and at the top of the hour, lieutenant governor, peggy flanagan, she come in she will join the conversation, right here on the weekend. weekend. why use 10 buckets of water

i have to tell you, i understand, because of the heat they had to shut the door early and turn thousands of books away. but don't worry, we are going to be back a lot. >> and it is my promise to everyone here, what i am president, we will continue our fight for working families of america including to raise the minimum wage. and eliminate taxes on tics for service and hospitality workers. vice president,, lane harris and her running mate, tim walz rallied about 12,000 supporters in las vegas last night. they actually, as you heard there, had to turn away another 4000 at the door. because of health concern for people waiting in the 193 heat. and that no taxes on tips line you just heard from harris, well, that is a position donald trump has also taken, and you can tell that her taking it too

is getting into the ex- president's skin. trump took 22 truth social to call harris a quote, copycat in all caps. joining us now, warmer democratic congressman, richmond, he is at&t advisor and they harris-walls cochair. good morning. >> thanks for having me. >> good morning, andrea, good to see you, my friend. so, i just marvel at the fact that, you know, the former president of the united dates, looking at public policy, that there could be some alignment between the two sides, oh, you are just a copycat, oh, you are just a copycat, it is amazing how this campaign, in literally three and half weeks, has turned the tables and reimagined the politics, as well as the policy frontier for this election cycle. how do you see the campaign position that you are going into the convention in about 10

days or less, and what kind of momentum are you looking to continue to build on, coming out of that? trump didn't have momentum coming out of his, it was basically a flatline, but harris seems to really have a lot of energy going in, 4000 people turned away from an event, how do you sustain it? how do you keep that going? because you know, this gets real, come september. >> well, you are exactly right, the momentum is there, and we have to keep it with 40,000 people in pennsylvania, we have 14,000 people in wisconsin and 14,000 in wisconsin and pennsylvania and we had 12,000 last night in nevada. but what she is doing is, she is taking her message to the american people and telling them about her vision for the future, not just her vision for america, but how she sees them and their future. how she wants to bring prosperity to families, how she

just doesn't want them to get by, she wants them to get ahead, and i think americans are very receptive to hearing policy positions about them. and then, if you look on the other side, you see a guy who just calls, and is having the biggest temper tantrum in american history, and just continue to lie and so, i think that people see a contrast here in the and they are gravitating to the positive energy of the harris-walls ticket. >> yeah, cedric, the positive energy pieces important, because it does, you know, the- - i think the vice president enjoys campaigning and being with people in general, her and the president are a lot alike in that way. they like being on the campaign trail, and it seems that governor walz also is enjoying that campaign trail and that joy is emanating from the stage. i think it is the joy peace and then folks are hearing tangible policies. i know donald trump, you know, saying the vice president copied him, but this tipped wage peace-- there is

bipartisan move movement for this, tipped wage workers are the backbone of the economy in places like las vegas, and this is just one of those economic policies that will go to the heart of people that they can feel. the vice president will unveil more of her policy prescriptions when it comes to the economy and coming weeks. what can you tell us, as a little preview to that? >> well, the vice president is always saying she had a focus on middle class and those who were aspiring to be in the middle class, so eliminating taxes on tips will help people that go to work every day, and bust their butts to keep food on the table, clothes on their back and a roof over their head and this is going to be a significant impact on this is also part of talking to people and uplifting families, so it is very consistent, and she will lay out more of an economic policy agenda, and then we have a whole week of the democratic convention,

where we can show the american people, not just who we are, but what we value, and what is in it for them. >> cedric, i want to look at two different polls that start with the morning consulate specifically in nevada, and this poll was in the field before tim walz was named as a running mate. you have harris leading trump 47-45, let's then pull up the "new york times" siena poll. you have in michigan, harris leading 50-46, pennsylvania, 50- 46, same numbers in wisconsin, all of these polls, of course, within the margin of error. this matter has shifted, sir. it is not the same map that joe biden was looking at. i wonder what you see as her path to victory? >> well, she has various path to victory, you see her doing very well in the sunbelt and where she is leading, so i think this is what has prompted the public meltdown of donald trump.

but she is not-- she is not going to stop there, she is just going to continue to take her message to the american people, governor walz will continue to do the same thing, because at the end of the day, as much as we talk about this as politics, this is about people. this is about families, this is about making sure that people can get ahead, that people have healthcare, that we will water our seniors, making this country as great as it is, that we protect the climate so our grandchildren and children have a future for tomorrow, making sure that every tomorrow is better than yesterday, and i that that is what the excitement is about. and then, on the other side you just have a guy, look, i was in congress, he liked 17,000 times , i think, while he was in congress, i am firmly convinced he is not just a liar, he is not well. and he actually lives in a fantasy land. and so, when he talks about his crowd being bigger than mlk on the march on washington, it is sad, but he may actually believe that. and so, we will continue to talk about what is facing

american families, and vice president harris's solutions for the problems, how she will secure the border, how we will fight inflation, how we are going to make their lives safer and more secure, and how we are going to increase the money that they have in their bank accounts and ensure prosperity. that is what we are going to talk about. >> cedric, one of the aspects of this, taking up-- to your point about donald trump's approach and his behavior, that was, i think appropriately framed by governor walz, when he said they are just weird, they are just weird, and it resonates so well with the american people, you know? you don't have to say much more after you say that. but i go back to the pulling, donald trump is still pulling 45, 46, 47%, depending on the pulling you are looking at, and so that tells me that there is still a large swath of

americans out there that are very interested in buying what he is selling. there has been a change, with kamala moving to the top of the ticket and that has created a lot of energy, but you still have a significant portion of americans out there, who are aligned with maga, whether they identify that way or not. so the question becomes-- and this goes to my initial question about energy coming into and out of the convention. the campaign is positioned very well, i think, to really put together a strong ground game, starting labor day weekend, which is already kind of taken place anyway, especially when the campaign belts really rings, boating starts roughly 10-14 days after that. how do you feel about the strategy-- the strategy right now, the ground strategy to turn out the vote? you are going to have to

overwhelm the system with the boat, because, you know on the other side of that, trump and his ilk are prepared to claim fraud, work to undermine the electoral process. they are already doing it, they are already spinning us on that. how is the campaign prepared for that? >> well, we are going to work. that is why you see the vice president 10 governor walz out there. we knew this was going to be a close election and it is going to be a close election and that is why we are not taking a victory lap, we are putting in the hard work. we have 260 coordinated officers, more than 16,000 staff that are out there, and those are just the battleground states, making sure we are knocking doors, making sure we turn out. and another thing, michael, you make a great point, as usual, about the 45% of people that are gravitating to trump and the mega movement, part of what we are going to do at the convention is let us know that vice president harris wants to be the president for everybody

and she does not believe, like donald trump, that we have to divide america, and we can lift up black and brown and white people all at the same time. no one has to be bad for you to do well. we can all do better together. and i think that is a message that has been missing for a long time. and i think that she is going to hone in on that, and she is going to show people that we can all rise together. and i think that that will help us chip away at their 45% that donald trump talks to every day, saying that i am going to push these people down so you go out and divide america. and we are better than that as a country and i think that harris and walz are going to continue to show that. >> cedric, before he let you go, two question one that you maybe won't have an answer for, when is beyonci joining the convention, and two, there is all of this reporting that the campaign was very well aware that the republican party apparatus would likely attack governor walz on his military record and there is reporting

that the campaign was prepared for that, but if you just look at the response from the campaign initially, it didn't seem like that was the case. so, where was the apparatus caught flat footed and how have you all kind of rebounded from that part? >> welcome i think governor walz took it head-on. he has been a public servant, he was enlisted in the national guard for 24 years and the reason why he left the national guard is to pursue public service, continue to serve america and, while in congress, he actually passed legislation that benefited our armed services, our their troops and families in terms of mental health and expanding the g.i. bill. we know what is coming, we weren't incompetent, we are not flat-footed. the campaign responded. maybe it wasn't hurt like it should, it is out there loud and clear, i think the week attack comes from a draft dodger and jd vance, who, you know, attacks child less cat

women. we will not let them define governor walz mac, who gave 24 years to this country and service over 12 years and congress and was a high school teacher and a coach, and so we are going to continue to defend him, and symone, i'm not sure who is at convention, i would just urge you to come out there, be your normal, bubbly self, enjoy it and i am sure you will have a great time as usual. >> but is she going to see beyonci, congressman? >> queen. >> it is a yes or no question. >> look. some things are above my pay grade. they don't tell me everything, simone. >> cedric? >> pull up the cup and start drinking, you don't have to answer. >> cedric richmond, we appreciate your time this morning, thank you very much. coming up, as republicans attack governor walls military

>> that is the rub right there. you don't create a 900 page document to all of these training videos and then go, oh, just kidding. just kidding, we are not going to do that now. >> psych, got you. >> so, they got caught. they got caught, they got exposed and now they are trying to do the rope a dope and make us all think this was a just some internal exercise that has no relation to donald trump's campaign and no relation to what donald trump's second term would look like and that is all a lie. this is the foundation of what is to come. >> you know, this is-- this is a function of the heritage foundation wanting to box their insatiable want to box the trump campaign in and donald trump himself, and dr. roberts, dr., kevin roberts, he went out

there and did a number of interviews and he notably came on our network right here on our show to talk to us about it, and that is when it started getting traction. it became more mainstream, when they kept talking about it more loudly and the trump campaign didn't want that good they have been sing for weeks, they this has nothing to do with us, but they want to box the trump campaign in, so now donald trump is cnbc do, what does michael say? the backstroke? >> is that an olympic sport? is that an olympics sport? >> the backstroke? >> i want to take us to paris, second gentleman is leading the u.s. delegation in paris for the olympics closing ceremony. one of the members of that delegation, congressman, robert garcia, is going to join us next. you are watching the weekend. ♪♪ imagine checking your own heart with medical precision from anywhere. introducing kardiamobile 6l, the fda-cleared ekg that provides six-times more heart data

the last time i was here, i stopped by the practice for the man's national basketball team, before they had headed out to the olympics. and maybe you saw it on your phone, but just a few hours ago in paris they won the gold. and i got more for you. a few hours before that come our women's national soccer team won the gold as well. so, in one sport after another, team usa continues to make our nation proud.

>> it is giving usa, usa. all of that winning. vice president harris was there, highlighting america's gold medal winning teams at the paris olympics, her husband, a second gentleman is leading the u.s. delegation to today's closing ceremonies. he posted this picture, yesterday, after the women's-- after the u.s. women won gold in soccer. congressman, robert garcia, part of this delegation and he joins us now from paris. quite jealous, okay, sir, of all of the-- just amazing-- american gold you have been witnessing happening across there, across the pond. what is the feeling on the ground? >> i mean, first, of course it is an honor to be here, that we have president biden here with the second gentleman. the feeling of course, is just a feeling of enormous, immense pride for our country, for our athletes who are just doing an

incredible job of winning on the field and just inspiring so many across our country and the world. and the other thing that is really interesting is, everywhere we go we are a small delegation, but everywhere we go people are asking us about the election, people are coming to us-- up to the second gentleman and they are just cheering and saying thank you, and please tell kamala that we love her. this is for both many americans that are here but also people around the world. and so, it had been really inspiring to see so many folks out here engage in what we are doing back home and understanding what the stakes are and a lot of love that this gentleman is getting, kids, family, folks coming up to him and all of the same message, just tell kamala harris, encourager, and we have got her back. and just being back your supporting our team, knowing everyone, when they come back to the united states in 2028 are

safe and smooth back in los angeles. >> so, let's talk breakdancing. i'm sorry, i just -- i have got to go with it-- i don't know-- what is all of that going on, but anyway, i believe that's to you to work that out over there, with the break dancing. but you raised the 2028 games and tonight the torch is going to get handed to the u.s. at the closing ceremony. you represent los angeles, you-- california proud a proud moment, not just for the country, but especially the state of california, to have the games back there. do you see this as a an opportunity as well, to address some of the issues that, you know, california, like a lot of places, but specifically, california have been struggling with in terms of transportation and homelessness and things like that? you have got the runway to get ready for that, but talk about the impact that the games can have for a city, like l.a., in

dealing with some of the issues that it confronts day in and day out. >> this is going to be a huge moment for california and for, of course, los angeles and communities representing los angeles and long beach host to the games. and being here really gives you an idea of just, the power of what the olympics can do to bring people in, to be inclusive and really transform, particularly areas around the inner city, to give people a chance to be involved in sport and all that the sport brings with it. in los angeles, we are investing enormous amounts of resources into infrastructure, to public transit, to light rail. by the way, in large part, thanks to joe biden and kamala harris, because of the infrastructure law. and so, you are re-creating this whole public system for transit across los angeles. there's also going to be improvements, of course, in facilities, to housing, to our college campuses, so, the

amount of investment that is going to happen in the activity that is going to happen will not just benefit los angeles and long beach, it will benefit the entire state and the entire country. anytime an olympics comes to your home country, in our case, the united states in just four years, it puts the eyes of the world on what we are doing here in the u.s., what we are doing here in california, any investment that comes with any economic development, but most importantly, it is an opportunity for the best athletes in our country in the world, to compete, to inspire us, to bring the world together in peace, in unity, and to be here and see the athletes from all countries around the world, really be joined by this idea of peace and diplomacy in sport is really inspiring and i know that will happen in the games in the u.s. as well. >> congressman, i want to say, in paris, you are extremely online, so you have probably seen absolutely everything.

i want you to take a listen to the vice president on the stump in las vegas talking about immigration reform. >> earlier this year, we had a chance to pass the toughest bipartisan border security bill in decades. but donald trump tanked the bill, because he thought it would help them win an election. well, when i am president i will sign that bill into law. >> congressman, i have got about a minute left, it seems like the campaign has been able to do the firm piece of talking of course, that has to be coupled with and i wonder how you put that altogether. >> i think the vice president is right and she also talked about, the last couple of days, about an immigration package, she talked about pathways to citizenship. about the idea that folks that are here have a chance to earn citizenship, as well as talking about and ensuring that the

border is secure and safe. so, she will have an approach that is fair, that is strong and donald trump has done nothing but to take this issue into congress and the country, so, she is right to lean into it. she has experience, being a western senator, what issues around the court are like, but she understands that there are people here in this country, like myself, like my family, who deserve to earn a pathway to citizenship and to get back to this country everything that it has given to us. so, i am excited about this, she is going to be an incredible president, especially of our latino community, and i think to tackle this immigration issue once and for all. >> congressman robert garcia, thank you for being with us. and you can catch the closing ceremony for the 2024 paris olympic games on nbc light, 3:00 p.m. eastern and again at 7:00 p.m. eastern. so, refill that mug, we have got another busy hour of the weekend coming up, with the minnesota lieutenant governor, annie flanagan, anthony coley, andrew weissman, representative mikey cheryl, and arthur
