right now, anticipation over tomorrow's big debate reaching fever pitch as kamala harris wraps up intense preparation in pennsylvania and a new poll shows nearly a third of the voters still don't know much about her. while former president trump rails against his rival and ramps up threats to prosecute his opponents if he's elected. and the white house slams a new report from house republicans on the state department's botched withdrawal from afghanistan as politically timed just one day before the debate. i'll speak to the house foreign affairs committee chairman in charge of the report. and democratic congressman, jason crow, an army ranger in afghanistan. good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. both sides make their final push before their all important face off on the debate stage tomorrow night. the former president focusing on

policy prep in mar-a-lago today after suggesting over the weekend he won't accept this year's election results if he doesn't win. while also threatening retribution against election workers. writing on social media that when he wins, quote, those people that cheated will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law which will include long-term prison sentences. this as the closely watches siena college poll shows 28% of likely voters still say they need to learn more about kamala harris. and a majority said that the vice president will be more of the same while 53% say trump represents major change. that's a big advantage for trump considering what voters want. we begin with nbc news senior political editor, mark murray. boston globe columnist, kimberly atkins store, and peter baker. mark, first to you. the internals of that "new york

times" poll. we're not really focusing on, it's basically still tied on the head to heads nationally, but signals serious trouble for harris. what are the key indicators you're watching? >> this remains a very close contest. it has been close for the totality of it, even when joe biden was in the race. there are some vulnerabilities for trump, including project 2025 and trump's generally unpopularity. you end up having 47% of likely voters who said harris is too progress. that versus 32% of likely voters who believe donald trump is too conservative. then 41% say that about harris versus 49% who say that about donald trump. and you also are mentioning the kind of information that people want to be able to hear. that's the other revelation from the poll where 28% say i want to

hear more and know more about kamala harris versus 9% who say the same thing about donald trump. this is a potential opportunity for harris at the debate because she still is able to define herself just as she tried to end up using the convention to be able to do that. and then andrea, the other poll information to me might be the most important of all and that's the issue of change where you end up having 25% of likely voters who say harris represents major change. another 15% say she represents minor change. 55% more of the same. compare that to the 53% though who believe that donald trump represents major change. in a race between a sitting vice president and a former president of the united states, who kind of ends up winning that mantle of change could be very, very important come november. >> mark, thanks so very much. starting us off and peter, it's a big opportunity here for

donald trump. considering that his toughest words yet though are for election workers. it seems to me, to all of us in recent days, that he's going where his own advisers don't want him to go. is he rattled? >> yeah, he's talking about the last election again and he's talk about whether this one will be fair. you talk about whether this will be fair if you think you might lose in order to come up with an excuse for why you lost, right? because that's what he did last time. and every time. that's his history throughout his time in politics and even before politics. every time donald trump has lost any kind of contest, he has accused somebody of rigging it. that's not just in politics. even when he was on tv when the apprentice didn't win against him. so he's laying the groundwork for a potential loss rather than talking about the issues many americans want to hear about which would include issues that are favorable to him like immigration and inflation.

issues where he is strong according to polls. his advisers would rather him talk about that, talk about why harris isn't qualified to be president, in his view, rather than setting up excuses for why he might not win. >> kim, let's talk about harris because democrats were so enthusiastic about the upswing and contributions, the volunteers after the dnc, but what we're seeing now in this poll it was largely people, democrats in her base, who believe that biden is no longer the candidate but people, the independents, the swing voters she needs in this really tight race, are not coming to harris yet. they don't know, 28% don't know what she stands for. >> yes. that's true. she's only been in the race for just about a month and a half now. not even. but there's only two months left until election day. and so there is still time in that what she will need to do at

the debate and beyond is to introduce herself to people and to let them see her make her case for herself. to define herself as opposed to allowing someone else to be defined. she's doing a good job of that so far. yes, the fund-raiser is important because that has allowed her to open field offices includes places where other candidates, democratic candidate, have not done before. one thing about the poll as to donald trump being the candidate who represents change more than harris does. it's currently a good economy. people are doing better than they were under the trump administration so that's not necessarily a bad number for harris but she does have work to do to introduce herself. >> let's follow up on that. in terms of the economy, she's still not given as much credit for that as donald trump is on this economy. and despite the, what we saw

where the non factual responses that he gave at the economic club for instance and in other economic speeches, he's not giving specifics on what he would do and how these tariffs would work. he's not acknowledging they would raise money but as a consumer tax on americans yet people are not responding to the improvement on inflation. you know, maybe the rate cut from the fed will change that, but time is running out. >> it is running out. i mean, frankly, andrea, wasn't even speaking in complete sentences at that forum and how tariffs had anything to do with childcare, but that's why this debate is important. a lot of people who are not hard core democrats may not have watched the dnc and seen what harris and those supporting her said about her. that is why this debate, which i suspect will probably be the most watched in history since the last one, is so important for her to make out that case herself and distinguish herself

from donald trump. i know a lot of americans aren't feeling the strength of the economy but they do remember just four, five years ago when it was in a very different place. and economists were forecasting that we would be in a recession by now due to donald trump's policy. that's the case that she has to make out on that and other issues. >> peter, harris did do another interview. this is with ricky smiley on the smiley morning show. this is how she handled some of the questions. i want to ask you about it on the other side given "the new york times" poll. >> he plays from this really old and tired playbook, right, where there's no floor for him in terms of how low he will go. we should be prepared for that. and the fact that he is not burdened by telling the truth and we should be prepared for the fact that he is probably going to speak a lot of untruth.

>> so, how do you see these two sides, you know both of these candidates so well. does she go after him? under these debate rules, can she go after him where the moderators ask the questions, they're not allowed to question each other except under unusual circumstances. does she fact check him? we're told the moderators may not be or may be limiting their fact checking. how do you see this playing out? is this the biggest chance to try to pin him down on policies? >> yeah, i think look, she is a prosecutor at heart. that's both her career path and how she sees herself. she made a mark when she was in the senate briefly before becoming vice president for her prosecutorial interrogation style of witnesses she was trying to draw out and pin down. so i think you should expect to see her style in that vein.

does she want to fact check everything he says? you could get lost in a blizzard of no, that isn't rights and it may not be the best way to handle it. i would imagine her advisers would tell her she should find a way to dismiss his credibility to make clear that she thinks most of what he says is not true without having to individually pick at every statement because it might just look nitpicky. but she has to convey the idea that what he's saying should not be trusted in a broad and perhaps even funny way. humor is a real tactic here. he doesn't generally play with humor and biden really doesn't on the debate stage either. she has a little bit more history, i think, with that. one last point on kimberly's point about change. i agree that while change, no change number is very meaningful, i think this year is a little awkward in the sense

that trump does represent change. it would be project 2025 change where he abandons the system and gathers power to himself and that's change they don't want to see. unless you break down what people mean by change, i'm not sure how much that question tells us. >> that's a good point because i was going on the basis largely of what james carville says and he is the wise guru going all the way back to 1992 that change is the most important factor for candidates. but in terms of what voters want. but as you point out, depends on how you define that and that question may not have broken it down. so we should, the precautionary flag is that we have to wait for the real polling. kim, i want to ask you about gender. in that interview in her one interview where she said next

question, please, when asked about the way he was trying to define her, she has down played the gender question throughout. throughout the dnc. hillary clinton made it possible for her to do it by taking all those hard hits but what does she do about the fact that on friday, brought up the sexual accusations against him and saying that you know, about the woman on the airplane's accusations back in 2016 after access hollywood, she wouldn't be the one. that that wouldn't have happened. what do you do with that? >> so, yeah. so i think what vice president harris will do is what she's continued to do. look, her gender has been inspirational to people who are inspired by her campaign. that's been really apparent. and so she doesn't have to focus on that.

what she wants to focus on is what her presidency will mean for american women and pointing out just as you did, donald trump's not only the fact that he's been found liable for sexual abuse, but his blatant treatment and the way he speaks about and talks about women has been awful since before he even entered the political arena so that is a big liability for him because women make up the majority. a slight majority of the electorate and i'm sure that's something she will point out. >> kimberly, peter, our thanks of course to mark murray on the polling. thanks to all of you and tomorrow, my colleagues and i will all be in philadelphia for special coverage. the first presidential debate. first and possibly the only presidential debate between kamala harris and donald trump hosted by abc news so watch all day beginning at 10:00 a.m. for special group coverage here on msnbc. and in 90 seconds, house foreign affairs community

(♪♪) (♪♪) gummies from nature made, the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand. issued a scathing report on the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan back in 2021. blaming the biden administration for the botched planning that led to a disastrous end to america's longest war and the

deaths of 13 service members. but also ignoring then president trump's deal with the taliban that shutout the kabul government and set a hard date for that withdrawal. the report accuses the biden administration of water down warnings about deteriorating security, failing to launch the evacuation of americans and afghan allies until it was too late and keeping a large embassy staff in place but reducing troop levels and closing bagram air base. it left people at risk from the taliban but more than 350-page report offers very little criticism of former president trump's negotiations that included only vague commitments from the taliban that were never enforced. joining me now to sort all of this out, republican congressman, mike mccaul of texas who led the investigation.

mr. chairman, i know you've been very busy with this and thank you very much. released it today. we're happy to have it. the white house issued this statement about your report saying quote, everything we have seen and heard of chairman mccaul's latest report shows it is based on cherry picked facts, inaccurate characterizations and preexisting biases. ending our longest war was the right thing to do and our nation is stronger today. that in itself is cherry picking your report. i want to go through it. what's your immediate reaction to their reaction to you? >> well, i think the report stands for itself when you look at it. i was a federal prosecutor. my intention was not to engage in a partisan exercise but to find out what really happened, why did things go so badly.

especially with the 13 servicemen and women who were killed. and so it's done very methodically. i didn't have advanced conclusion. the key takeaway was from our top generals, the chairman of the joint chiefs to cent com commander mckenzie to miller was ha the military was told to do their job and they did. that was to retro grade and get out by july. state department, by law, has a requirement to initiate an evacuation plan. state department wholly failed to do that. so you had the conditions on the ground and i was getting briefed on those realtime as well. then you have a rose colored assessment that didn't want to admit that the threat was as great as it was. to the plan itself is not initiated until the taliban is actually overrun kabul.

marching on its way to the embassy, putting everybody at risk including wilson who flooded the airport, left his hundred afghan personnel behind to probably be killed by the taliban. thousands of classified documents, passports burned. then the taliban's put in charge of the check point. they are the ones looking at the legal documents as to whether you can pass into the airport. this never would have happened if they had had a plan in place. you fail to plan, plan to fail. that's exactly what happened and it culminates on a nightmare of a day with 13 servicemen and women being blown up. 170 afghans killed. 45 americans and afghans are crippled. >> let me just say you've developed some new information. we reported though on a lot of

this in realtime that the visa plan was not developed during covid by the trump administration and was certainly the special visa plan for our afghan allies certainly was never developed in those early months by the biden administration. >> yeah. >> at the same time, the timing of this, you're releasing it the day before the big debate. so you say it's not partisan. but i want to get to a bunch of things here, but very quickly. why release it now? >> thanks for the question. look, you know, the first year we had to investigate, i was not in the majority. we did nothing. when i became chairman over the last two years, i wish we had this report out sooner. but the fact is i had to subpoena after subpoena to get document, testimony. had to threaten motions to compel to get the cable from the

embassy employees crying for help out of the embassy because they knew the taliban was on its way. so it was not, it was not by accident on the administration's part. they wanted to stone wall this past the election. i will tell you this investigation's not over. and it will continue after the election. >> let me just point out that you had an interim report in 2022 two years ago which referred to kamala harris two times by name. and in this report, she's mentioned 251 times. that does indicate some partisan motivation here, but also i want to ask you very quickly. >> we've got more evidence. we had took eight months to get jen psaki to testify for instance. that is what has delayed the report. the timing was not to be political. it was not to be on the same night of the debate or right before it. i didn't know when the debate was going to be scheduled.

we have new evidence now though. >> and one final thing here. there are afghan allies who helped the u.s. who were still trying to leave the country. others have come here, still haven't gotten jobs. there's a bipartisan house bill that would have helped them. it was part of the border bill with trump's influence on the senate despite the conservative republican leadership that that killed it. but why hasn't it gotten a stand alone hearing by the house leadership since the house has been republican-led? >> we talk about this. we talk about the afghan adjustment act. there are discussions, andrea, underway to get this passed in the national defense authorization. my view is look. if we're going to bring you here, of course they have to be vetted but let's treat them

humanely. what i'm most worried about are the afghan allies and partners that we promised to protect and we violated that duty and oath by not having a plan of evacuation and we left them behind with the biometric equipment, by the way, andrea, that the taliban goes door to door, checks fingerprints then takes them captive, tortures them and then in some cases, executes. this was a absolute betrayal. not to mention the women left behind who are extremely disappointed with vice president harris. they believe that she was going to be their savior and i just saw today a mother and her child who just passed away due to malnutrition. women have gone back to the stone age in afghanistan and it didn't have to happen. lastly, i want to make sure it never happens again. that's been my ultimate goal here is to develop legislation

for this evacuation order, evacuation plan, to know who's in charge. to have it report directly to the secretary, diplomatic security corp. and make sure if we have a saigon or kabul, we won't see something like this again. >> i want to thank you and thank you for your patience. i have reported on this extensively the past two years, the women in particular. and appreciate the hard work. you're not from one of those house committees. but i think that donald trump in fairness, donald trump had a lot to do with cutting out the kabul government and cutting a deal with the taliban and locking in the united states to a withdrawal deal that joe biden's administration wanted as well. so both presidents have a share in this. thank you so much. >> i do have a comment if you want me to respond, but otherwise.

doha, when it was being violated by the taliban, that's when the president decided to keep 2500 troops a light footprint. 6500 nato. air cover. biden came in, go to zero. his spokesperson said doha's immaterial here. i made a campaign promise. we're going to pull out, go to zero. it could have been done differently. >> doha being the taliban agreement that donald trump negotiated. mr. chairman, as always, thank you very much. coming up, we'll get reaction to what we just heard with democrat congressman and war vet, jason crow. but first, how the former president is cashing in as the race enters the home stretch. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. watching "anl reports" on msnbc. citi's indusg global payments solutions help their clients move money around the world seamlessly in over 180 countries... and help a partner like the world food programme

with less than two months to go until election day, donald trump is finding new and different ways to cash in on his presidential campaign. from digital trading cards valued at $99 to $60 bibles. $500 sneakers and other trump branded items, the former president is closely linking his campaign to for profit enterprises. joining us now, one of the authors, "washington post" senior national political correspondent, ashley parker,

doug jones and david jolly. so, ashley, talk about the key distinction between the for profit sales not ging to support the campaign, right? where's the money going? >> it's not uncommon for campaigns to sell merch or christmas ornaments or any number of things to raise money for the campaign. but this is very different. this is former president trump selling things that go to enrich himself and company he's affiliated with or himself through licensing deals that have nothing to do with his campaign. and there's nothing, i talked to some experts, there's nothing illegal about it but it is incredibly rare that someone who is running for president and who has been president would sort of be using that perch to enrich themselves. the final note again, the former president, it is not uncommon for them to write a book and

earn a lot of money from their memoir or book or to even serve on boards or give speeches. that's sort of the traditional and societily acceptable way of earning money post presidency, but we have not seen the likes of someone trying to say license a brand of vodka or put their signatures on bibles and sell them for $60 or come up with a line of sneakers. that's not something we've seen a former president or presidential candidate do. >> senator jones, is this just another way that donald trump is different and should the harris campaign try to make use of this? >> i think what it shows is what the harris campaign has been saying all along. that this campaign of donald trump's is only about donald trump. he enriched himself when he was president. he has enriched himself through these trinkets. books and things are different.

there's a historical perspective for some of this. this is just like a carnival souvenir at the circus and it is all about him. this campaign, his presidency. has always been simply about him. enriching him, enriching his family. i think the harris campaign has been saying that all along and this is just, ashley's article is just the best evidence of that i think we've seen in a long time. >> and david, we talked about trump's threats to jail his political opponents. let's listen to liz cheney on that. >> dick cheney will be voting for kamala harris. you know, if you think about the moment that we're in and you think about how serious this moment is, my dad believes, and he's said publicly, that there's

never been an individual in our country who is as grave a threat to our democracy as donald trump is. >> you've got liz cheney and her father, dick cheney, saying they were going to vote for harris. what about all these other former presidential candidates, nominees, the romneys and others, who are not saying anything? george w.? >> sure. i would say that history will remember. that's not to suggest anyone's dealing in bad faith but those who make a vocal decision and those who don't, it will be recorded for history. the fascinating thing about the cheneys is this. i don't think it's a huge political impact. i think it's historical and it reflects a certain level of patriotism but in many ways, they are lagging indicators to the never trump movement. they're certainly not leaders of that. liz cheney voted for him in '16 after she voted for him. voted against the first

impeachment but what she settled in on after january 6th was that he was a danger to the country and apparently by proxy, her father thinks so as well. that donald trump is a danger. the reason that's fascinating is joe biden was really happy and comfortable hitting that head on. that donald trump's a danger. vice president harris has chosen a slightly different take. she has to introduce herself and her vision to the country and she's spending less time on this notion that donald trump is a danger. certainly she alludes to it but it's not her primary focus. perhaps rather than the impact on republican voters to say oh, if the cheneys are voting, i can, too. particularly liz cheney becomes the voice in this race about donald trump being a danger to the country while vice president harris' focuses on her vision, perhaps that's the way it unfolds. >> and donald trump mocking e

jean carroll who he was found liable of sexual assault and defaming and also talked about another woman who had made accusations in the past against him, jessica lee, on an airplane. >> that press conference, was a a little inexplicable. sorry, what was your question? >> i just wanted to play that little bit about jessica lee and ask you about it on the other side. >> what are the chances of that happening? what are the chances? and frankly, i know you're going to say it's a terrible thing to say, but it couldn't have happened. it didn't happen. and she would not have been the chosen one. she would not have been the chosen one. >> he was talking about jessica, the woman on the plane after access hollywood who came out against him. just how does harris handle the gender issue?

>> so, a couple of things. that press conference was inexplicable politically where you have former president trump who has already been found guilty of defaming e. jean carroll sort of unprompted taking the national spotlight to bring up other accusations of sexual assault he's been accused of and being quite insulting to the women, someone who's not attractive enough for him to choose to assault. that's not a particularly effective political message. what harris has been doing on gender and race is fascinating. she has not been doing what hillary clinton did, which is sort of making breaking the glass ceiling a part of her appeal. and has been much or subtle by down playing the history making part of her bid. >> ashley parker, doug jones, and david jolly, it's all going to come to a head tomorrow night and rapid reaction next. a top house democrat and former army ranger who served in

now for more on that scathing report from republicans on the house foreign affairs committee blaming the biden administration for the chaotic u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan in august of 2021. joining me now, jason crow, a former army ranger in

afghanistan. congressman, thank you very much. so your response to the report and the timing of the report. >> well, it's really unfortunate that the republican majority chose to make this a partisan attack on the biden administration because the american public actually does deserve a full accounting ofour 20 years. over 2,400 americans gave their life during this war. tens of thousands of my fellow service members were wounded. the american taxpayer spent over $2 trillion on this war. we need a full look, which congress created a war commission which is doing that review. republicans instead have opted to make this a cherry picked partisan attack. we took 18 transcribed interviews. republicans refused five of those because it gives information contrary to their narrative.

they have contorted it and it really does a disservice to the answers the american public deserve. >> the report mentions vice president harris 251 times but that interim report only mentions her two times. he said it was because it took so long to get cooperation from the administration. >> that's not true. let's talk about the substance of this investigation. first of all, they didn't call any trump white house officials whatsoever. it was the trump white house that negotiated this flawed agreement with the taliban which excluded our military, the afghanistan government. so we have no information from them. of the 18 interviews, over 3,200 pages of transcription, it only mentioned harris three times. the witnesses only mentioned her three times yet their 350-page report mentions her over 280 times. this is a deeply flawed,

partisan attack and it's really again, it's unfortunate because the american people deserve answers. we deserve to know the lessons learned from this 20 plus year war. this was a 20-year war. not a one-month war. >> let me ask you about your legislation. you're part of a bipartisan push to do something for our afghan allies. to rescue them. those who were left behind. those here without jobs, without any source of income. and it hasn't gotten a hearing yet. >> this story is not done yet. that is the challenge is we still have afghan partners who are there. the challenge is we need to actually pass legislation to resolve this. despite the efforts of the state department to help get our allies out, it's congress that has to allocate the funding and streamline the siv. this is the special immigrant visa program the help get those folks out and it's the republicans in congress who have repeatedly stone walled and prevented us from passing this

critical legislation. that's the same with the afghan partners who were evacuated in 2021. over 120,000 of those folks were evacuated. many of those brought to the united states. not all of them. they have no status, no ability to work and move on with their life. there is a bill called the afghan adjustment act that democrats are pushing for. republicans are preventing it from being passed. it's time for this to stop. >> thank you for your service. >> thank you. and next, thousands rallying in israel demanding a hostage deal to free those held by hamas while tensions rise on the west bank. this is "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. ports" on msn. e td treatment for adults. ♪ as you go with austedo ♪ austedo xr significantly reduced kate's td movements. some people saw a response as early as 2 weeks. with austedo xr, kate can stay on her mental health meds— (kate) aww! hi buddy!

jordanian border, since the war started and a significant escalation. joining us now, correspondent raf sanchez who is in tel aviv and jame strafe ridis. raf, in parts of gaza, i know they closed that border with jordan last night. i don't know if it is reopened as well as the border crossing at -- at shallom, but what about the protests against netanyahu and what is happening with the hostages? >> reporter: so the protests against netanyahu continued over the weekend. hundreds of thousands of israelis taking the streets zee manding their prime minister reaching a hostage deal. here in tel aviv, there were half a million people on the

streets. they say that is the biggest single protest in israeli history. but the question is, is it happening any impact on the prime minister. as you mentioned, just these heartbreaking words from the families of murdered hostages but at this point prime minister netanyahu does not appear to be changing course. he was adamant in a press conference that i attended last week that he will not withdraw israeli troops from the so-called filla delphi corridor. that is become an absolutely key stumbling block in the negotiations. but u.s. officials will say as well as netanyahu's reluctant to do that, another stumbling block is hamas demands on the number of prisoners to be released in exchange for the hostages. andrea. >> and admiral, now there are last-minute obstacles from both sides. and an acknowledgment from inside of the administration that since may, netanyahu has objected to, you know, aspects

of this that could have been resolved after phase one, after getting the hostages out, after having a cease-fire. and now you have the west bank blowing up and the border with jordan. jordan was the second to egypt, the longest arab ally. >> indeed, and let's not forget to the north of israel on that lebanese border, you still have tens of thousands ever israelis displaced from their homes. i want to dry a line under the protests. 500,000 israelis hitting the streets would be like 17 million americans population adjusted. it is a remarkable demonstration against the policies of benjamin netanyahu. and you are correct, he's kind of played lucy with the football with the u.s. negotiators, the arab negotiators who are trying in good faith to get the two

sides together and so has hamas, frankly, and it tells me that fundamentally neither leader, neither sinwar on the hamas side or netanyahu on the israeli side see it in their personal interest to resolve this. and of course, that leaves the hostages and above all their families in the worst possible place. >> raf sanchez and admiral, thank you to both of you and we'll be right back with great news from the royal family. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. msnbc. i needed more from my antidepressant. vraylar helped give it a lift. adding vraylar to an antidepressant is clinically proven to help relieve overall depression symptoms better than an antidepressant alone. and in vraylar clinical studies, most saw no substantial impact on weight. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts.
