two doctors and a woman authorities called the ketamine queen. >> i'm going to say it again, as clearly as i can. i am proud of my service to this country. anyone brave enough to put on h the uniform for our great un country, including my opponent, i just have a few simple words. thank you for your service and sacrifice. >> i said to vladimir putin, i said don't do it, and i told him things, what i do. and he said no way. and i said way. >> today we take the next step forward in our fight. thank you, joe. >> thank you, joe! thank you, joe! >> falls, i have an incredible partner. she is going to make one hell of the president. >> let me tell you what our product 2025 is beat the hell out of them .

>> the launch of the 2024 democratic national convention is just two days away, but democrats are already entering up the excitement. the harris campaign saying it is holding a weekend of action, leading up to the dnc with more than 10,000 volunteers at a 2800 events across battleground states. the events will feature phone banks, canvassing, and, quote, project 2025 message trainings. next week outside the convention center in chicago, democrats will also be hosting a series of events geared towards the public. while there will be plenty of fun activities like giveaways and making friendship bracelets, it is also going to be a time for training, organizing, and signing up more volunteers. and with only 80 days left until election day, the harris walz team is keeping its foot on the gas.

joining me now is jamie harrison, chairman of the democratic national committee. jamie, it's good to see you. i know you're in chicago, so i appreciate you taking the time away to join us on the katie phang show. look, it is been four weeks since that change up at the top of the democratic presidential ticket.ra how much has vice president kamala harris now becoming the a presumptive nominee changed your plans for the week ahead? >> well, we knew that it was going to be a close race, and we always knew that we had a tele-story of joe biden and kamala harris. now we are also going to tell a story of tim walz, because he is the new nominee going forward. we are so excited to shape. katie, as you know, we didn't get to have a traditional style convention for joe biden and kamala harris. it is like a abig family

reunion. we are all getting together, sharing with our millions of families all across the world to watch and see us coming together to support the candidacy of kamala harris and tim walz. this is going to be a week of hope, a week of purpose. because it is focused like a laser on making sure the democrats win up-and-down that ballot come this november. >> so, nbc news has learned that the first night of the convention will now include a nv series of tributes to president joe biden's extensive career of public service leading up to his keynote speech. give us an idea of what we can expect. >> well, it is a well-deserved tribute to the president, who i believe is the most president of my life. when i think about the things he has done in his four years, it really rivals and surpasses what summit presidents have done

in eight. starting with the american rescues to the bipartisan infrastructure bill, which is a commitment to infrastructure sincent dwight d. eisenhower, t making sure that marriage equality was the law of the land, to the inflation reduction act. now seeing the cost of prescription drugs go down precipitously where we are seeing a cab. in the first black woman on the supreme court, appointed more black woman to the court of appeals. and i can go on and on and on. chips, science act, this is a man who is gotten things done for the american people. and because of his 50 years of service to this great nation, we are going to celebrate him and knocked the roof off of the senate in celebration, giving joe biden the deserved credit. as we said in the south, giving

him his flowers not only for the party, but for the nation. >> we have also learned that some other big names that will be speaking at the convention include former presidents bill clinton and barack obama, and former secretary of state hillary clinton. what other voices are you hoping to highlight it during the dnc? >> well, will go on to see the grand diversity of the y democratic ticket at the convention. you're going to have more seasoned democrats, folks from labor, folks fowho served in th military, and all of the above. in essence, the party looks as diverse as america. diversity is going to be represented on the stage. geographic, racial, and all of the above. i am just so excited.

it really is like the avengers will be assembling in chicago as we gather up. and focus. >> jamie, before have to let you go, i have to bring up this memory. back in 2004 there was a young, unknown senator, his name, barack obama. he spoke before that year's convention. this year we are hearing jin z congressman maxwell rost, tennessee representative justin pearson, e they're going to be speaking to caucus goers. is this a decided effort by the democratic party to highlight new and younger voices within the party? >> well, we want to make sure that when you look at the party you see yourself in the reflection. my first political memory was watching jesse jackson get up on that stage and talk to young people about hope and dreaming for the betterment of america. and that inspired me to get

involved in politics. so, fast-forward, what is it now? i am 48, so at36 years later th little round headed kid is going to be gathering in this convention where we will meet the first black and asian woman to be president of the united states. as joe biden said, i am so proud, the oldest political party in the world, to officially nominate kamala harris to be president of the united states. >> well, as vice president kamala harris says, we are not going back. and i think with harris walz, we are definitely going forward. jamie harrison, thank you for taking the time to join us im today, always so good to see you. >> thank you, katie, take care. >> you take care. joining me now for more is ohio congresswoman joyce beatty, member of the house financial services committee.

it's good to see you this morning, as well. we know you are going to be attending the convention in chicago, and you are hosting the ohio delegation. what are you most looking forward to in the week ahead? >> katie, first of all, thank you for having me. i am so excited about going to chicago. i leave shortly. i'm excited because i agree with jamie harrison. it is going to be like a family reunion. we have a lot to celebrate. we are going to have a lot of diversity. talking to everyday american people. we will fill up the united center, and we will celebrate all of the victories that vice president kamala harris has been part of. we will be talking directly to women. we will be dtalking to those w are in our fight for justice and for continuing to have healthcare and education and jobs. we have done so much. it will be full of b for democrat, but also for delivery. because kamala harris certainly

has delivered. >> your state is home to donald trump's running mate, senator jd vance. i wanted to get your thoughts on how vance being named as the vp pick for donald trump has impacted the race, and could your state actually be in play this november? >> well, i am not ruling out ohio, we look at where are senator shared ground, he has gained momentum in the last couple of weeks with our change in being reinvigorated. we have three frontline membersv in the house, they are all holding their own. we are excited. n. when you think about the change that we have now, we have young people. we have more senior people. we even have republicans who are on the record saying that they are going to support that harris walz ticket . and jd vance is not good for ohio. he is not good for america. he does not fight for the everyday people. he is actually more than weird,y

he is a joke. when you think about how he has gotten everything from his jobs to even getting this position, h he was walked in the door by a mega republican, tech billionaire. so things have been handed to him. unlike kamala harris, who has had to fight for things all her life. she became, just think about it, a prosecutor. attorney general. in the largest state in our nation. she is a fighter, and she fights for people. p jd vance has had things handed to him. probably if there is a good thing that trump did, it was to pick a loser like jd vance to be his running mate. >> so, you wrote an amazing piece for ebony on the democracy, where you said, quote, we are not simply voting for our next president this year. voting rights, women's rights, educational rights, and marquee freedoms are all on the ballot

this season. the article does focus on black americans, but i really felt er like you were also speaking to a more important universal message for all voters, that go into that ballot, to the ballot box in november. >> absolutely. while it focused on black americans, the story is true for all americans. when they go in there, democracy is on the line. and let me just tell you something else that i did around the same time. because i was talking to a national reporter, i reminded them that there was going to be a sunday call. and i said there would be 18,000, when questioned, i said maybe 20 or 30,000 black women on that call. but let me tell you what that jumpstarted. white women. brown women. white dudes for kamala harris. even republicans for kamala harris. so the message is the same.

we are all fighting for our democracy, and especially when you talk about women across the board, we are fighting for control of our own bodies, for reproductive rights. we are fighting for educational rights for all of our children. i stand with the people because we've had people over politics. and that is a strong message that you are going to continue to hear from democrats, and especially from our vice president, kamala harris, soon to be our presidential nominee. >> you know, one of the biggest valid criticisms of donald trump has always been a lack of policy. real policy, substance from him. with on friday from vice president kamala harris an economic plan that includes stopping corporate price gouging, tackling the cost of housing in medicine, and bringing back and expanding the child tax credit. i mean, you

have been around it to be able to see what real policies can accomplish. your thoughts on this economic p plan? >> oh, i think ther economic plan speaks to every day people. it speaks to all americans, because when you think of it, it is not just a plan that she is talking about. it is a plan that she has been a part of leading. i had the opportunity to be chair of the congressional black caucus where we jumpstarted many of these things, and now we are having an anniversary. whether it is the jobs and chips act, whether it is the american rescue plan, the inflation reduction plan. and let's not forget about the infrastructure. 1.2+ trillion dollars we put into it to go across this nation. and kamala harris's fingerprints were all acover th. she is bringing back those things, continuing those things. the child tax credit took more than 50% of our children out of poverty. this is what a president does.

and as our presidential candidate, when we announce it on thursday, i am so comfortable that she will not only implement this plan, but she will do it and more. >> congresswoman, i know you c are looking forward to chicago, but we were looking forward to having you here this morning. vi and i thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> and a quick programming over all of you. on monday at 6:00 p.m. eastern, ra melbourne is going t to kick off msnbc's coverage of the democratic national convention with joy read co- anchoring live from chicago. and alex wagner providing special coverage from the convention store. and then at 8:00 they will join rachel maddow and the team as they break down day one of the dnc, what it means for the 2024 election. special coverage begins monday at 6:00 p.m. eastern on ndmsnbc. but, still to come on the katie phang show. white earth nation member and minnesota's lieutenant governor could be set to become the first indigenous female governor in u.s. history if

morning from the new york times showing vice president kamala harris with a five-point lead in arizona. a two-point lead in north carolina, and gaining ground in both nevada and georgia. so, these results are all within the margin of error, but folks, it's a sign that with kamala harris it may not be momentum, but a movement. and for donald trump, it just may be a warning. joining me now is the cofounder and ceo of the seneca project and a former contractor for the gop. we are 80 days out, we are really in the crunch time. polls like just mentioned are showing vice president kamala harris leading in some of the battleground states, and also in national polls. now, everyone who watches the katie phang show knows i'm not a huge fan of poles, but i will show them if it shows a consistency of what is going on, and i mean, this is something that we can't ignore

here. >> absolutely. we were all skeptical of poles, the polling industry has been less than stellar the last couple of election cycles. however, what does prove to be true are trends. and the swings since kamala harris joined this race to now are undeniable. and what we are seeing, and especially in places like arizona, that is encouraging for me. because what is happening in arizona, there is a ballot initiative with abortion on the ballot in arizona, where they just had a record-setting amount of signatures to get that initiative qualified on the ballot. that is telling you that the issue of women's rights and women's reproductive health and the idea of keeping the government out of their medical exams and out of their bedrooms and out of their personal decisions is resonating across the country. and you can see in other states where even nevada, that also has a ballot initiative, as well, you can see where this is galvanizing women. because they are looking at their choices here. women are looking at the choice between donald trump, who has a history of calling them crazed, unhinged, nasty, and everything

else. the litany of issues with donald trump. and then you have jd vance, who has managed to offend every demographic of women, from cat ladies to older women. this is not a good sign for a presidential campaign that needs those moderate swing state voters, particularly women, if they think they're going to win. so, it is absolutely obvious that kamala harris not only has momentum, but there is a vibe and mood shift in this campaign that we have not seen since 2008, and i can say that now after we have seen consistently the enthusiasm, the excitement, the joy, the hopefulness, the decency, all of these things are attractive to the american people, and the polls are reflecting that in all the right places for kamala harris. >> so, i'm glad you brought up jd vance. this man, he is a very special way with words, especially when it deals with women. take a really quick listen. >> we are effectively run in

this country, via the democrats, vr corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies, who are miserable at their own lives and the choices they made, so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too. >> they spoiled them with all the classic stuff grandparents to grandchildren, but it makes him a much better human being to have exposure to his grandparents. in the evidence on this, by the way, is super clear. >> that is the whole purpose of the post modern menopausal female in theory. >> let me ask you a question, not knowing the answer. when your child was born, did your in-laws, and particularly her mother-in-law, show up in some huge way? >> she lived with us for year. >> i did none of the answer that. so this was a weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an indian woman. >> so, jd vance brought on board to, theoretically, court a wider audience, a younger

audience, and maybe even a female audience. but none of that worked. >> i don't know what female audience that caters to other than puritans that think we should be back, well, maybe i shouldn't offend the puritans. the people who think we should be back in an era where people did not have autonomy, have rights, couldn't work without the permission of a man. all of those things, i'm sorry, but women are not going back. that is what we are doing at the seneca project with our messaging to women. we are seeing that there are so many women across party lines that share that sentiment. they may have voted for donald trump or republicans in the past, but they are looking at this ticket, looking at those types of comments, and they are saying no. what is wrong with these people? we are not doing this. and jd vance, i don't know who he is attracting with that. maybe the younger graphic that hates women, i mean, it was donald trump who had nick fuentes for lunch at mar-a- lago, who despises women, and is a nazi . that is another

side. that is what we are dealing with on the maga side. they was misogyny all the time. donald trump has completely unraveled. he cannot handle the fact that he may lose to a woman, and a woman of color. he cannot handle it. so we are watching this every single day. people are wish casting on the republican side that he stays on message, but his message is his disdain for women and for women of color. that is why he consistently insults women and has for his entire career. it is also an adjudicatedfor . there's that part, too. >> we see someone like nancy mace, and i had to bring this up. it bothers me so much that nancy mace as a servant for donald trump and the trump campaign ends up on another network saying that she will call kamala harris whatever she wants to, pronounce her name however she wants to do it. it bothers me, because not only

is it aggression against minorities, but it is just racist, to sit there and actually know how to pronounce her name properly. she's the vice president of the united states. that is somatically on point for them. that is exactly how they think they can control the narrative, by saying we are going to dictate what your value is based on the given name that you have. >> yeah, nancy mace is a perfect example of someone who is a backbencher, who has now turned herself into this bot for attention. nobody paid attention to nancy mace as much since she has become this really obnoxious maga apologist. as a woman, she tries to claim victimhood when people call her out. i wish i had been on that panel, because she wouldn't have been able to get away with that. how would she have felt if i sat there and called her karen the whole time while she was insulting our vice president and soon-to-be future president of the united states? and i say i can call you whatever i want to call you? she wouldn't have taken too

kindly to that. it's disrespectful. and she knows it, but she doesn't care, because she is emboldened by this part of this obnoxious indecency and entitlement, frankly, that comes from these people who support maga . is that really, i mean, you don't always have women allies, let's just say that. cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug. and so is power. >> definitely, i like it. i'm writing it down. as always, so good to see you. thanks for being here. coming up, first in the nation. minnesota lieutenant governor peggy flanagan could become the first indigenous lieutenant governor in united states history if vice president harris and current minnesota governor tim walz wins in november. she joins me next. ored using the power of dell ai. ♪

in congress, and just has a track record of delivering for people. and i also say, as someone who is worked very closely with him on a whole slew of issues, he also knows how to partner with a woman leader. so, kamala harris, vice president harris has a great partner in her ticket. and i am so excited, as people are learning all about what an incredible leader tim walz is. >> lieutenant governor, ura citizen of the nation. i had the privilege of monitoring a panel just a couple weeks ago in d.c., you are on that panel, focused on native american voting suppression. i think it was really important to afford the viewers and the people who are turning into this network the opportunity to hear from you about how critical it is to see that the right people are controlling the levers of power, to ensure

that native tribes, that they have access to voting like all minorities and all communities of color should have. >> well, i think it is very clear that there is only one team that is interested in making sure that everyone has access to the ballot box and the freedom to vote. and that is kamala harris and tim walz. i think that native people are strategically located in swing states across the country, and our vote, the native vote, can make or break a campaign or election. and so, in many ways, ignore us at your peril. and there are several folks who have tried to throw up obstacles to native participation, by suddenly deciding that tribal i.d.s are no longer a valid form of identification. of saying that you need to have a physical address and not a po box, when

so many reservation communities that is just not how it is or how people live. so, you see this very intentionally happening across the country, and i am so glad that we have our allies in the native american rights fund who are fighting these cases all over the country, to ensure that, especially this year, it has been 100 years since the indian citizenship act of 1924, that we absolutely need to have our votes counted. and we are in this moment where we have gone from the native vote and native folks registering to vote and turning out to vote, to now native people themselves are running for and winning offices all across the country. and i think that's good for democracy. there may be some folks who are trying to hold us back, but i am super excited about kamala

harris and tim walz. their experience in indian country, tim walz has an incredible track record of tribal state relations, and kamala harris building on the good work of the biden harrison ministration and secretary holland. the future for indian country and the future, i think, for america in general, is really bright with their leadership. and moving us forward, making sure we can all exercise our civic duty and vote this november and into the future. >> i know you have been asked this question a lot, but it is one this is with me. because i am a first-generation korean american, i have a nine- year-old daughter who is biracial, and i think about all of the first that are going to happen in november. and i know that should harris walz take the oval in november and win, you would be elevated into a position. first, your thoughts on what that would mean to you. >> it would be incredibly meaningful, and i would drawn my experience at governing in partnership with tim walz and

meeting the veterans, folks in law enforcement, it teachers, farmers, people all across the state who care tremendously about making sure the people have an opportunity to thrive. and, you know, we are just a moment of building momentum of women leadership, native women, and secretary holland, congresswoman david's, serving as lieutenant governor. but representation matters, and i want your daughter, and i want my daughter and young girls across the country to see that anything is possible for them. that is the big, bright future that we have under harris walz . and i will do every thing i can over the next 79 days to make sure that our daughters have the opportunity and we elect kamala harris and tim walz . i feel hopeful, and i know that there are so many people across the country who do, too. >> minnesota lieutenant governor peggy flanagan, it's an honor to have you here. thanks for joining us today.

relationship to donald trump. now, trump continues to deny any connection to the extremely right-wing policy playbook, but there is an avalanche of evidence to the contrary. case in point. new reporting from propublica shining a light on over 14 hours of product 2025 training videos. they are meant to coach an army of conservative political appointees. and among those featured in the videos, 29 of the 36 speakers have worked for trump in some capacity, on his 2016-2017 transition team, in his administration, or on a trumpet's 2024 re-election campaign. i mean, if it walks like a duck, right? joining me now, integral, invest get a journalist at propublica. andy, it's good to have you back on the show. again, you guys are doing the lords work. but let's start with mentioning, first, in his abc news, we have reached out to the

trump campaign for comment on product 2025. and we want to make sure and make it clear that that hidden camera video we just showed it was filmed secretly without a reporter identifying himself as a journalist. all of that being said, though, andy. is the apparent relationship with trump similar to what you have heard from other people who are tied to product 2025? >> yeah, katie, it is all of a piece with this attempt by the trump campaign, by people around the president, and people like russell vought to say, in public, that there is no connection. that trump knows nothing about product 25, knows nothing about the people involved in product 2025. and yet, when we get these kinds of people, the people in the videos that we reported on, speaking and what they think is a product private setting, training future political appointees, or thinking that he was talking to a family member in connection. it is really clear. he talks about it, the

connections between trump, trump having blessed this effort. and as he pointed out in the videos we reported, these people , the vast majority of these people worked for former president trump, identified himself that way, and draw on their lessons from working for trump to coach the next potential administration of trump appointees. >> andy, we've got right here dan huff, the former legally geizer and white house president personnel office under donald trump. take a quick listen to him and one of these training videos. >> if the 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 process, harm you socially, i get it. that's a real danger. it's a real thing. please, do us all a favor and sit this one out. >> andy, it's pretty obvious here, even this guy recognizes that signing on to product 25's mission will make you politically and socially toxic.

>> yeah, and the context is everything here with this particular video, katie. we featured in our reporting, one, just for the striking, ominous language that dan huff uses. i would also say in that same clip, he talks about how if a conservative presidency and trump presidency does not get an office now and make these dramatic changes, there may never be another chance. there is kind of an apocalyptic almost message there. but it is also really important to hear that, and then look at the 887 pages policy blueprint for product 2025. that is nothing if not a dramatic course correction that might be putting it mildly. you have these things together in context. you understand how inexorably connected the trump campaign, all the people who potentially work in a trumpet ministration in product 2025 really are. >> you know, andy, in the interest of time i'm not going

to play the video and i will urge everybody to follow the propublica story and to look at the videos themselves. but in one of the videos they actually say that the only credible media outlets are conservative media outlets. your thoughts, your a journalist, i'm a journalist, your thoughts on the idea that they're trying to put into place government employees that are going to restrict access to government agencies to just conservative media outlets? >> it's one thing to say that a political campaign. it's another thing entirely when you are coaching future political appointees, government workers whose salaries come from the u.s. taxpayers, who are supposed to serve all americans regardless of how they voted, to say no, just talk to the news outlets that our people voted for. that is not what a political career, civil servant, any kind of government employee should be doing when they are working on our taxpayer dime to serve, again, all of the american public. not just the american public to voted for you. >> andy kroll from propublica, i urge everyone to follow you

now on former congressman george santos. he is expected to plead guilty on monday to mobile accounts in an indictment. the hearing is set for monday at 3:00 p.m. in federal court. a lawyer for george santos did not return requests for comment. so, since vice president kamala harris became the presumptive nominee for the democratic party, a number of groups have thrown their support behind her. zim calls featuring black women, white women, and white dudes have organized and fun raised in support of, layers. asian american and native hawaiian pacific islander men have also held a call of their own in support of the vice president. that group's backing is especially important, because despite the fact that aanhpi voters historically have favored emma kratz, that support has seen a drop in recent years. joining me now for more, california attorney general rob bonta. rob, so good to see you here. your currently serving in vice president kamala harris's

former role as california attorney general. so, what are the challenges from that job, the one you have now, that has prepared kamala harris to run an entire country? >> well, first i am very proud to serve in the role that she does serve then, and i can't think of a better training ground in preparation to take on the biggest role in our world and our nation. it is a position the california attorney general that is sort of chief among equals, the largest state department of justice in the nation, where the number of areas that we are involved in is limitless. and the attorney general then, the vice president now, showed who she is. she showed that she would fight for everyday people and she would keep them top of mind, front and center as she took on those with incredible power who abuse their power, from big banks, to big oil, to predatory for-profit private colleges, to

transnational gangs. those involved in human trafficking. the list goes on. but she showed who she was, a fighter for everyday californians, and americans, and someone who would not back down, who is tough as nails, and would take on the most powerful when they broke the law and abused their power. so, that bodes very well for the american people, as kamala harris prepares to be the next president of the united states. >> you were involved in that amazing aanhpi men for harris zoom call. i will note probably that you are the first filipino ag in the state of california. how did that call go, and what of you seen so far in terms of support within this community? >> katie, it was amazing. it was full of inspiration and excitement, and energy. it was electric. we had an incredible leader, david chu, daniel day kim, beatty wong, kim jong, andy kim,

ted lieu, folks from across the spectrum of american leadership. lyrical, entertainment, business, community all coming together with one voice, one mission as men to support our sister. leader kamala harris, as she takes on this important journey . we believe she will step into a very critical role leading us. we told our stories, we talked about our hopes, our dreams for our nation, our own experiences. we look back and many others have it immigrant experiences, and experiences of hard work and lifting ourselves up by our bootstraps. it was beautiful to hear the different perspectives. of course, it was a political event. so it really showed great momentum. we had volunteers mustered to knock and talk and walk for kamala harris, and also, we

raised a good amount of money for her campaign. so, it was a moment of pride and inspiration, and i was excited to be a part of it. >> traditionally the aanhpi community is not one to vote just based on identity politics. but, seeing what you have heard and experienced and felt so far, is there a very real increase in political activism that you feel is coming from this community now? >> absolutely. i mean, the emotion you feel, the inspiration that is created when you see someone from your own community on the cusp of serving in a role that is so important, it is full of pride. and hope that that leader, because of her lived experiences, because of who she is, her background, her history, will see us. our beautifully diverse, non- monolithic aanhpi community.

and understand who we are, where we come from, what we want for our families and our futures and our children. and really see and acknowledge us and fight for us. so, that feeling was absolutely palpable, completely tangible as a through line throughout the comments that were made on the zoom call. and i think it's a feeling that has taken root throughout america with our communities. >> i want to thank you, california attorney general rob bonta for being here, not only for the work you're doing, which is amazing in and of yourself, in the great state of california, but for sharing these experiences with me, with our viewers. i take a lot of pride in being a korean- american, and i think it is an amazing, an amazing, inspirational story for you to share with everyone and for us to be able to support the future president of the united states, kamala harris.
