bringing the two children of deputy gonzales to their first day of school. he died of cancer earlier this month. for these guys it was a chance to let his little ones know, they will never be alone. >> he was a great mentor. >> we can't replace him as dad but we can offer the support that they need throughout the rest of their lives. >> what is the bigger message here? >> we are a family, we are all going to back each other up. even when they are gone, we will still be there for their family. >> that wraps up the hour for me. thank you for the privilege of your time. picking up with more news, right now. right now on msnbc reports, and her first interview as the democratic nominee, vice president harris pushes back on

critics of her shifting policy positions on some key issues. >> i think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed. >> also, in an nbc exclusive interview, former president trump said he would greenlit billions of dollars in federal funding for ivf, if he wins in november. >> we are paying for that treatment, all americans that need it, so we will be paying for the treatment or we are going to be mandating that the insurance company pay. >> trump, also defends his arlington cemetery appearance that has been the subject of major scrutiny. and we have your labor day weekend covered from the latest on travel at the airport and highways, to the new growing threat from mosquitoes raising concerns for families across

the country. i'm ryan nobles and for andrea mitchell as kamala harris is off the campaign trail after defending pass policy shifts in her first wide- ranging interview since taking the top of the democratic presidential ticket. >> my values have not changed. you mentioned the green new deal. i have always believed and i have worked on it, that the climate crisis is real, that value has not changed, my value around what we need to do to secure our border, that has not changed. i spent two terms as the attorney general of california, prosecuting transnational criminal organizations, violations of american laws, regarding the passage, illegal passage of guns, drugs and human beings across our border. my values have not changed. >> harris also telling cnn, she

would consider appointing a republican to her cabinet and criticize what she called a warped belief that a leader's strength is measured by who you beat down. >> the true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you left out. that's what's at stake. >> from calling the interview boring and rambling and in an nbc news exclusive interview earlier in the day conducted before any parts of the harris interview eric, trump insisted that he's not worried about harris's rise, painting her as a flip-flop or. >> well i think the republican side has always have the energy and i think we have more energy than anybody who has ever run, if you look at what's going on because our country is going to hell. they will hear about a woman who's the greatest flip-flop her. >> check out the latest battleground polls, they show harris making gains in north carolina and pennsylvania but everything is still within the margin of error. her lead in wisconsin appears

to be an outlier, all of the setting the stage for the next big moment, the next presidential debate 11 days away. we begin with senior white house correspondent gabe gutierrez, dash burns , gate, we will start with you. she didn't seem to do herself any harm but there are some big questions about her record? >> look, that's what the trump campaign is trying to focus on, the questions that remain about why vice president harris has changed her position on several things including fracking, including immigration over the last several years. since she ran for president in 2019, raising her hand during one of those primary debates, when she was asked if she thought the border should be decriminalized, now and her answer during yesterday's interview saying that there

needed to be consequences for illegally crossing the border. so, that is one of the remaining questions but you laid out some of the interview, and the harris campaign said, that it went extremely well, in their view, that she did what she needed to do and she answer the tough questions about her record and also one other point, ryan, she was asked about that that isn't getting too much attention but it showed another side of her, during the dnc acceptance speech, you are number that she avoided talking about the historical nature of her candidacy but there was that emotional moment with her great nieces, that were there, present at the convention and of course that iconic photo of one of them, you see her right there, looking up at the vice president as she was delivering that speech, harris was asked about that during this interview yesterday. take a listen to what she said. >> it's the back of her head and the two little braids, and then i'm in the front, obviously speaking, and it's very humbling. it's very humbling in many ways

. >> so brian, during the interview she was also asked and says so publicly for the first time, her reaction when president biden actually called her and told the vice president that he was dropping out of the race. she said that she just finished having breakfast with her family and she was sitting down, getting ready to play a puzzle with her family members, when she got that call and her first reaction was to tell president biden, are you sure, ryan? >> dash let's go to the exclusive pull aside that you had with trump. he did make news, sparking some backlash from parts of the base, what can you tell us about that? >> he made a number of headlines on reproductive rights which was an issue that he's long been saying is a problem for republicans, take a listen and we will talk on the other side. >> under the trump administration, we are going to

be paying for that treatment, so we are paying for that treatment. all americans that need it, so we will be paying for the treatment or we are going to be mandating that the insurance company pay. >> in florida, the state you are a resident of, there's an abortion related amendment to overturn the six-week dan, how are you going to vote on that? >> i think the six week is too short. there has to be more time, and i told them, i want more weeks. >> you will vote in favor of the amendment? >> i'm going to be voting that we need more than six weeks. >> ryan, saying there that the trump administration a second term would cover all americans who want ivf treatment, it's a pricey proposal, typical ivf cycle costs about $20,000 but this comes in the context of a gender gap that we've seen in the polls, vice president harris leading significantly among female voters and and the second part of that answer, on the abortion ballot initiative

in florida, sparking backlash from some parts of his base, that are concerned that he is going to far to the left on the abortion issue. so, it's a tough line to walk for the former president and an issue where he really has been trying to push the republican party in a different direction. some parts of the base, they don't want to go there. >> definitely the second part, the questioning to him, causing a lot of concern among the most conservative parts of the republican base. ashley, now reproductive rights, absolutely going to be an issue when harris and trump debate for the first time on september 10th. the harris team says that they are still pushing to have hot mike throughout the entire debate. harris's plan for the debate is to keep calm but get under trump's skin, what more do we know about that part of their plans? >> one thing that is a little ironic of course, is that the harris campaign and the trump campaigns are now taking opposite sides of the hot mic

issue . but the view within the harris camp, which may prove to be correct is something like hot mic's would benefit her because it would remind voters one of the things they don't like about trump, which is that he can come across especially when faced with a woman and a woman of color, as bullying, and aggressive, and sometimes rambling and unhinged and chaotic, and that is something that you see in a hot mic's where as a muted mic sometimes can protect trump from his own worst instincts. so that's what the harris team wants, they say there are still negotiations ongoing and they also point to trump's own comments where he has said , i don't care and they are trying to create at least in the public, this appearance that trump is fine with hot mic's,

it's his own advisors were trying to overrule him, they want to protect him from themselves. they think it's something that can get under his skin and it would ultimately hurt him politically. >> dosha, you got him on the record about monday's incident at arlington national cemetery, he insists that the goldstar families invited him and asked for photos, let's play a portion of that. >> it would be so great, can we take a picture i said sure, i'm not thinking about a campaign. i stood there and i said if you would like to have a picture, we can have a picture. it this was a set up by the people in the administration that oh, trump is coming to arlington, that look so bad for us, you know it looks bad, the way they pulled out of afghanistan, that's a disgrace. >> dasha, he also tried to claim that his campaign had no role in getting this out on the internet even though it was their tiktok that amplified it

or than anyone, talk to me a little more about what the trump campaign is saying about this incident? >> yeah, ryan, i followed up on that and i said, but your campaign put it out on their official tiktok and he claimed to have no knowledge of that, but i think one of the reasons this story continues to have legs is because of his history of comments that have been offensive to some military families whether it was calling senator john mccain not a war hero, whether it was a recent comment about the medal of honor versus the medal of freedom. this is something that he keeps stepping into, and now having to clean up again and again, it'll be interesting to see how this impacts the veteran community that such a critical part of the voter demographic. >> okay, thank you all, we appreciate it. in 90 seconds, an update on the latest legal moves from

(♪♪) former president former president donald trump in what the new york times is calling an unusual and longshot request is now trying to move his new york criminal has money case into federal court. that's ahead of his sentencing

hearing next month. we thought this case was over, what's the likelihood a conviction at the state level would move to the federal court? >> yes, it definitely does seem like a long shot, trump's lawyers are arguing that the new york state court system is failing to protect federal interest and the supreme court's immunity decision means this conviction should be overturned. they've also made that request to judge merchan in new york but they are not waiting for him to roll, they are going to the federal court system but the problem is the court judge they are asking has previously rebuffed this argument, last year he said this case was about a cover-up of an embarrassing event and he added, hush money paid to an adult film star is not related to a president's official acts. the only question is whether anything in the supreme court decision on immunity and force them to reconsider his reasoning. if this bid fails, obviously sentencing is scheduled for september 18th although it's possible that could be

postponed. >> thank you for the update. mourners gathered for the burial of a ukrainian fighter pilot who was killed when his f- 16 fighter jet crashed on monday. as russia launched a major attack on ukraine. the defense ministry has opened up an investigation. and yesterday, russia launched another heavy aerial attack into ukraine, the third in four days. the ukrainian air force as most of those missiles and drones were intercepted. what is the latest on this f-16 crash investigation, do we know what happened there? >> reporter: you know, ryan, we don't, it is a mystery, this is what we know, we know this happened on monday in the midst of this massive russian missile strike on ukraine, one of the largest of the war, more than 100 missiles and more than 100 drones were fired on ukrainian

territory. we know from president zelinski that f-16s were a big part, played a big role in repelling some of those attacks. a famed ukrainian pilot by the name of moon fish, the callsign, was involved in the effort, he was flying an f-16 and he had just shot down three missiles, and a russian drone. he was on his way to the next target and suddenly, they lost communication with him, his plane crashed, and he died along with the plane, now they've announced this big investigation, they are bringing in the united states to help in the effort to figure out exactly what happened because as it stands now, there's a lot of questions and a lot of rumors about this in ukraine. >> it's also been weeks of cross-border fighting between ukraine and russia with ukraine reportedly gaining ground in russia's kursk territory. what can you tell us about

that? >> that's right, ukrainian authorities also announced additional gains made there in kursk, they continue to dig into the russian territory, meanwhile, the russians continue to make gains in ukraine's eastern donbas region getting closer and closer to the key city that is really seen as critical to the ukrainian front line and its efforts to getting in supplies and their own reinforcements in the donbas region. it was described to me by a western intelligence official as a game of who blinks first, neither side at this point can really afford to be carrying out these offenses, nevertheless, they persist. i was speaking to one analyst who was telling me that the longer putin leaves the situation in kursk with the

ukrainians digging in, the longer it takes to move a substantial amount of forces into the area, to reclaim russian territory, the more difficult it's going to be for putin to get back the russian land. so really, all eyes on these sort of two offenses at this point. no one really knows what's going to happen next. >> let's turn now to the former nato allied commander. it's been more than three weeks since ukrainian troops crossed into russia. should we expect a stronger push from putin to stop them at some point? >> absolutely, and it's high risk in that sense. think of it this way, this in military speak is called a salient which is simply a peninsula of terrain that is driving into an opponents territory, the good news is as you occupy the salient, think of the top of a sorcerers at, you occupy the salient, you can

go left, right, you can keep going straight, the bad news is, and this is your question, putin can surround it, potentially cut it off, trapped thousands of ukrainian troops in place. so i think what we are going to see is the ukrainians digging in hard, so that they have control of this salient and can repel. in other words, i think it is likely that they are going to continue this offense in an aggressive way but they want to hold that terrain not so much for the battlefield but ultimately for the negotiating table. >> we are seeing some heavy aerial attacks in civilian areas and this is something that putin did in the beginning of this war to rake the will of the ukrainian people but there have been disruptions to life and the ukrainian people have been remarkably resilient. how long can the ukrainian tolerate this?

>> i think a very long time. think about great britain during the blitz in world war ii. hitler thought by massively pummeling the brits, he could crack the will of the civilian people. it didn't work out that way and i would say there is a whiff of churchill when you look at zelinski in this regard. he is very much a representative of his people. so look for putin to continue this and by the way, let's call this what it is, these are war crimes, when you attack theaters and maternity wards and shopping centers, civilian population centers, these are war crimes and they are continuing, and i think it'll be a failed strategy on the part of putin, especially with the f-16s on station now. >> heartbreaking to see children in bomb shelters when they should just be going to

school. ukraine's defense minister is at the pentagon today and the secretary of defense austin continues to say that the u.s. will support ukraine but officials say that ukraine needs at least 130 fighter jets, how many do they have left and can ukraine's troops successfully fend off further attacks if they don't get that support? >> i think they will get that support. there are thousands of f-16 aircraft that are in the inventories in the united states. all our nato allies. this jet, the f-16, it's kind of swiss army knife, it can do air to air, air to ground, it can do electronic warfare very well. pretty simple to learn how to fly in the comparison with other more advanced jets. very capable. i think ultimately, they will end up with well over 100 of these coming from nato, broadly speaking. i think the pipeline will

continue, final thought, ryan, the other thing, the ukrainian foreign minister is talking to our defense minister, lloyd austin, about gaining u.s. permission to conduct longer- range strikes inside russian territory, thus far, the u.s. has held the ukrainians back. i think the ukrainians can lay out a strong case, it's time to allow strikes 2 to 300 miles inside of russia. watch that space. >> up next how donald trump's comments about florida's six week abortion bans are being received by some of his strongest supporters. you are watching msnbc. originally discovered in jellyfish and found only in prevagen. in a clinical study, prevagen was shown to improve memory in subgroups of individuals who were cognitively normal

today the today the harris campaign is announcing a bus tour acrossq key states focused on reproductive freedom that will kickoff next week. meanwhile, donald trump is on defense today over the issue of abortion. in november trump's home state of florida will vote on an amendment that could rollback the six week abortion and, now in an nbc news exclusive interview, mr. trump says that six weeks is too short. all of

this has put him at odds with the antiabortion movement as donald trump muddies the waters even more by saying his administration, if he wins, would pay for ivf treatments without detailing how they would be paid for. in virginia this morning, tim walz, his wife, gwen, who struggled with infertility went after donald trump. >> here are the facts and there aren't any alternatives to these, donald trump is the one who took down roe versus wade and put access to ivf at risk. that's a fact that he is running on a platform that puts these treatments at risk nationwide and that is a fact. >> let's talk about it. can he have it both ways, can he move to the center on abortion when a lot of the energy and fever that he has

within the republican base is very much in the antiabortion camp? >> the short answer is i don't know. and what trump is doing is unique, donald trump is trying to show nuance, and trump is a communicator, it's full blunt force all the time. he is trying to find a third way, but democrats are not going to support trump regardless of what he says, i think we all know that they can he pull some of those suburban voters who don't like that biden/harris administration, don't like their record on a lot of things, i was in raleigh on sunday and monday, those are the voters that he's talking to but yes he's thinking out loud because he doesn't do nuance well but those are who he's targeting. we will have to see what the harris campaign does as well. >> what about those voters, who are in some minds, single issue

voters that make up a good percentage of his base. does he risk alienating them? >> he risked getting some nasty tweets and press releases for voters who will ultimately support them. on this issue, he can claim this better than anyone else. that's a knock for some of the voters that he wants to reach out to. that's what he's trying to communicate like this but if you were a pro-life voter, that's been your issue, no one has delivered for you more than trump and that's just a fact. >> donald trump in his interview with nbc, nor jd vance, they couldn't explain how his administration would pay for these treatments as promised, how has kamala harris responded to this? >> look, i think kamala harris and the democratic party are in exactly the position that they want to be. they know that donald trump alone has claimed credit with

the chaos of roe v wade and there is no nuance on this issue. i think voters are clear about that, too, and no matter how much donald trump tries to move, i think the harris campaign is really in the best position to lay out with great clarity where they are in terms of wanting to restore roe v wade and protect abortion rights. this reproductive freedom tour is going to highlight that and in a state like florida where frankly it's going to be on the ballot, abortion rights on the ballot, there is no moving away from this, so i don't really know how donald trump wins under that circumstance and i think the harris campaign is in a position to clearly define the republican party as the party that is against reproductive freedom. >> donna, i want to play for you a bit of kamala harris yesterday reacting to donald trump attacking her race and identity. >> i want to ask you what he

said last month. he suggested that you happened to turn black recently for political purposes. questioning a core part of your identity. >> the same old tired book. next question, please. >> that's it? >> that's it. >> that's it, is that enough, does she need to respond? >> no, i think this is actually the perfect response. the harris and walz campaign want to be focused on what is important to the american people and donald trump's continued racist, misogynist, hate filled comments don't deserve a -for-tat response by kamala harris. i mean people can see and they know who harris is, she does not have to define that and others will do that for her. i think it was the absolute perfect response to the nonsense that donald trump continues to spew.

>> i did a deep dive on your twitter feed this morning which is always risky for you but you suggested that the kamala harris interview with cnn was neither lucid know coherence. explained to me. >> you can't have highlighted the north carolina football tweets, it wasn't a great game for them., harris, her answer on that question was pitch perfect but what harris struggles with quite often is she gets asked the question and does a very long answer that goes in 1 million different directions and it's this large word salad that you can't extrapolate what is she saying there, and when i took and that was a tweet at luke russert, i think, i thought back to 1981 10 kennedy was asked of possible question, why are you

running for president and it took them three minutes to not answer the question which was a basic one, harris gets caught up in this where you just end up scratching your head and say what is she trying to say here, she did some of the things that she needed to but the vulnerabilities that she has in these kinds of interviews it was laid bare very early in the conversation as well. >> donna, when she was asked about the economy, she seems to be in this bouncy act of trying to take credit for the biden agenda but also trying to show how she would do things differently. what is the strategy there, does she own this economy or does she try and remove herself completely? >> i don't think there's a bind, i mean the fact that she's a vice president, she's not president. i do think it is appropriate for her to take credit for doing things to try to shore up the economy, and she recognizes that americans, many americans are still in a bad way when it comes to today's economy and she laid out her economic opportunity agenda both there

and in a speech that she gave a week or so ago. and i think this is going to be more clear as the days and weeks progress to the election, we will certainly hear more of that during the upcoming debate. >> we will leave it there. i hope you both enjoy your labor day. next, we will have a reality check on the scale borne diseases raising concerns for the long weekend. you are watching msnbc. but if you have afib, the risk of stroke is always there. if you have one or more symptoms, get checked out. making that appointment can help you get ahead of stroke risk. this is no time to wait. ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000

new warnings new warnings over the growing threat of mosquito borne diseases that have millions of americans on high alert this weekend. maggie, this is really scary, you actually have some breaking news about west nile incidents on the east coast? >> reporter: we are bringing this your first, the state of new jersey just announcing they've had two deaths from west nile, they baxley had six cases total in the last couple of weeks or so and say two of

the six have now passed away, they said, of the six total because they don't want to identify the two, they are leaving that with families but of the six total they were all adults between the 50s and their 80s and they said to people who passed away were what they call older adults, that's their terminology. they add, they had an additional two cases the summer so a total of west nile in new jersey and this is key, they said seven of eight so the vast majority have what they call neuro- invasive disease meaning the virus attacks the brain, spinal cord, parts of the nervous system and that can be really dire and dangerous. we just so happened yesterday to talk to the dad of a teenager who has that exact condition and it has paralyzed him from the neck down and he's in hospital in st. louis breathing on a ventilator and the dad says he believes the threat for a lot of americans is closer to home than they realize. heading into the long holiday weekend, there are new concerns buzzing for those eager to soak up the final days of summer outside. >> we've had a lot of extra rain, a lot of mosquitoes. >> rare but eventually deadly mosquito borne illnesses continue to plague parts of the country. >> you are sitting on my back porch for 10 minutes, and i go

back inside and i've got like 10 bytes. >> wisconsin officials announcing two deaths linked to west nile virus with nearly 300 cases reported in 33 states. and now, there's a sixth case of eastern equine encephalitis or triple e, the virus found in five states that has killed one man. >> i think it is going to be a significant concern in the future. >> cities taking action, spring neighborhoods to help protect residents. for those headed to a lake, be on alert, mosquitoes look for still and freshwater and be sure to apply a deep based insect repellent on top. >> john proctor wishes his family had known about the danger of mosquito borne illnesses sooner, his 18-year- old son known as bb, has a long road to recovery. he is on a ventilator paralyzed from the neck down after contracting west nile virus from a mosquito bite that his

dad believes that he got while playing with his dog in the backyard. >> it's hard to fathom how such a small, insignificant creature can take a perfectly healthy human being and it just causing havoc on his body that fast. it only takes one mosquito to get you. >> we are so grateful for john to opening up front, and we did that in the room next to his son's hospital room because he didn't want to be too far away and as soon as we were done he ran back into his son's room. he said doctors have told the family, that he may take a full recovery, he may, but it could take a year or more. >> absolutely heartbreaking. thank you for that. we appreciate it. a virginia boar's head plant is at the center of a deadly nationwide listeria outbreak. the department of agriculture just released a slew of violations found at the facility including insects, mold, and puddles of blood. new

worse this labor day weekend, the record-breaking summer travel season is extending to the roads and we are expecting incredibly busy roadways. if you didn't hit the roads already, don't plan to head out the door between 2:00 and 6:00 and that's when they are expecting it to be the worst on the roadways. you might want to head out after 7:00 p.m. but if you are planning on traveling tomorrow or saturday, it's better to travel in the afternoon and not the morning because a lot of people will be putting off their travel until tomorrow. if you are going to return home on sunday or monday, the earlier the better to avoid the afternoon traffic jams but one thing we are hearing is travelers are pleased with the gas prices right now. they been steadily declining for the past couple of weeks. the average gas price in the nation last year. the great news is that those prices are actually expected to continue to decline until the end of the year. >> okay. thank you for that. let's go to you now. what is the o'hare looking like right now? >> reporter: honestly, so far so

good. you knock on wood, keep your fingers crossed, do whatever you need to do. there are not that many stressed out passengers here. you mentioned, this is expected to be not only a record-setting weekend of travel but the peak travel day in terms of flying is today. the tsa is expected to screen about 3 million people throughout the country today. here at chicago's o'hare airport, they're expecting about a 10% increase in passengers when you compare to the volume of folks that they saw last year during this same holiday weekend. i've been talking to folks here. i've been a little jealous as they've been going to some fancy and cool destinations. i put my jealousy aside and listen to what they told me about their experience here. >> it feels very, very busy. lots of buzz. yeah. my anxiety level feels a little higher so definitely taking a couple deep breaths.

>> reporter: how was it coming in? i know there was some rain. >> some rain. it was a little rocky. >> reporter: your flight was a little rocky? >> a little rocky. a little rocky. >> reporter: you heard us talking about the rain because that is where the trouble could lie if there is trouble to come. i said things are not bad here. that's currently. but that hasn't always been the case. we know earlier this morning we walked in and there were long lines. there were some delays piling up as the storm system made its way through chicago. that same system is now heading east, expected to go over detroit, head over to the new york area. so where you see storms, that's where you can see potentially more delays, especially as you get into the later evening hours. right now so far so good. people are smiling, looking ahead to that labor day weekend travel that they're gearing up for. >> i can't imagine the mad rush of people rushing to the airport

right now because shaq brewster told them it was okay. thank you. we do have some breaking news now related to the georgia election interference case. newly filed court documents show former fulton county election workers ruby freeman and shea moss want to get control of rudy giuliani's assets so they can start collecting some of the $146 million of defamation judgment that they won against the former new york city mayor. the courts have already dismissed giuliani's bankruptcy attempt after the december ruling. this new filing says the one-time personal lawyer to donald trump listed his palm beach condo, not his manhattan apartment as his principal residence, shielding it. lawyers call it an evasive maneuver and they want the property sold so the mother and daughter can collect some of the damages they say they are entitled to. after the 2020 election, rudy

giuliani repeatedly and falsely claimed that they tried to help steal the election from donald trump. we'll be right back at the top. hour to dig into two big interviews, kamala harris and donald trump, and break down the state of the race. first, on september 7th, join my colleagues live for democracy 2024 from brooklyn, new york. you will hear some thought-provoking conversations. all you have to do, scan the qr code on your screen or go to msnbc.com/democracy 2024 to buy your tickets right now. ♪ [suspenseful music] trains.
