right now on "ana cabrera reports," new intensity and new attacks in the 2024 race. trump doubling down on branding democrats the enemy within, as his rhetoric runs increasingly dark with just 20 days to go. plus, harris lands new gets on trump in a radio town hall ahead of her interview on fox news. a clash over abortion, january 6th, and the culture wars in a fiery lonestar senate debate. later, control of the house. the multimillion dollar moves from democrats, with the aim of taking that chamber. ♪ ♪ good morning, it's 10:00 eastern, 7:00 a.m. pacific. i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york.

today, harris and former president trump will face some tough questions on the trail, as they make their closing pitch to voters. in pennsylvania, the vice president will tape her first-ever sitdown with fox news. and in florida, trump will take a univision town hall before hosting a fund-raiser at mar-a-lago, as the rhetoric is escalating. far beyond the usual jabs about policy and personality, the very fabric of american democracy is now the focal point. >> will you commit now to respecting and encouraging a peaceful transfer of power. >> we had a peaceful transfer of power. >> you had a peaceful transfer of power -- come on, trump. you had a peaceful transfer of power compared to venezuela, but it was the worst transfer of power for a long time. >> i think we should be allowed to disagree on that. >> donald trump is about taking us backward.

>> donald trump is about fascism, why can't we just say that? >> yes, we can say that. >> nbc's garrett haake is in washington with the latest. also with us, m nbc host and editor of "the washington post," jonathan capehart, and former congressman carlos carvello. so donald trump's stops include a personal fund-raising pitch. >> they are struggling to keep on the campaign side with the amount of money kamala harris has been able to raise since taking over for joe biden in july. trump has the benefit of having some of these billionaire allies, including the richest man on the planet in elon musk, who were able to funnel money into pacs supporting him. but getting money on the campaign side, continues to be something they have to mind. you probably would rather be in a swing state 20 nights before the election than hosting a fund-raiser at your home in

mar-a-lago. but neither candidate is going to run out of money in the closing stretch. this will still be the most expensive and well-funded operation on both sides we're liable to have seen in history. >> that harris exchange about fascism that we heard at the top, it comes after trump suggested using the military to stamp out dissent. he was asked about the backlash to those comments at a fox town hall that's supposed to air on fox today. what is he saying now? >> i think this is interesting, ana. donald trump has been staying away from interviews that might be particularly challenging. he's been trying to stay focused in this final stretch here. and i think the harris campaign has been a little frustrated with the rose-colored glasses that some voters view the trump era with. now these comments from trump are him walking into an opportunity for the harris campaign to remind everyone of the way that he has been a divisive figure in the past, these comments from his town hall. he says in part, it's the enemy

from within. they're very dangerous. they're communists and fascists, talking about democrats. he said we have china, russia, if you have a smart president, they can all be handled. the more difficult they are, the pelosis, these people, they are so sick, they are so evil. if you're the harris campaign, who is planning an event today with a bunch of republicans and former republicans supporting her, you couldn't ask for a better contrast in how the parties are viewing partisans on the other side, with donald trump suggesting democrats are the enemy of the people, more dangerous than our foreign adversaries, and the harris campaign suggesting we may have political differences, but we need to unite as a country. that's a contrast the harris campaign would like, the trump campaign sees it as a turnout strategy for their base. but it's probably not the kind of content you want to defend 20 days before people finish voting. >> garrett, thank you for that reporting. congressman, there was this brief moment this summer when trump indicated he may tone down his rhetoric. but in the past month, he's done

the opposite and said more than once, his political rivals are bigger enemies than foreign adversaries, like russia. he talked about using the u.s. military against americans. he floated a purge-like day of police brutality to combat crime. he said if he loses, jewish voters will be partly to blame and called harris mentally disabled. is this how you win over those haley voters in this final stretch? >> typically, it's not, ana. and you're right, donald trump did have a big opportunity after that prominent assassination attempt in july to garner all of that good will that existed for him in the country at the time, from all across the political spectrum. he had the opportunity to pivot. he said he would, and i think he really thought about it, but at the end of the day, he snapped back to who he has always been, someone who wants to divide and conquer and max out his base.

big contrast there with harris, today going to fox news, not a comfortable place for her. also meeting with republicans and showcasing republican support. so both of these candidates are desperately trying to just get across the finish line. donald trump is doing it by going back to the well, his tried and true strategy, which hasn't really worked most of the time. he's lost three consecutive general elections when you think about what happened in '18, '20, and '22. and kamala harris trying to welcome some of those trump skeptical republicans into her coalition. >> jonathan, as congressman mentioned, she has this fox interview coming up today. will she highlight the extreme things donald trump has done or should she focus on her vision? >> i think she should do both, by going to fox, she's going to the trump base, but she's also going to where republicans go to get their news. those are the people who voted

for nikki haley, those are the people who voted for anyone other than donald trump. so you should expect to hear her make the same -- the same message she's been making on the campaign trail, talking about democracy and rule of law. talking about her plans for the future and saying to the fox audience, you know, look, we're not going to agree on everything. but if you elect me president, i will work with republicans to solve problems for the american people. and just to pick up on something that the former congressman said, i never for a minute, believed that donald trump would pivot to a kinder, gentler version after that first assassination attempt. and we saw it. i was sitting right there in milwaukee during his acceptance speech. the first 20 minutes was something different, then the next 80 minutes were more of the same. and what we have seen since milwaukee has just been an amping up of the dark, negative,

hateful rhetoric that we saw coming out of that convention. and it just -- i don't know, it defies logic, how you take the message that the former president has out there on the campaign trail, and have people believe that he is going to be a leader for all americans. i just don't see it. >> jonathan, harris has really ramped up her outrage to black voters, specifically men. here's another part of that town hall with charlemagne tha god where she talked about the pandemic. >> whether we're going the admire dictators and send during the height of covid and the pandemic, covid tests that nobody could get to the president of russia for his personal use, where black people were dying every day by the hundreds during that time. >> yeah, i feel like that one has gone over people's heads, the fact that he was sending covid tests to putin. >> what do you think, jonathan, will that resonate?

>> yes, it will resonate. look, the interview with charlemagne tha god that she did yesterday was her at her best, at her finest. she was comfortable, she spoke about what she wanted to do for the country, and also charlemagne is, for not being a political journalist, he's one of the best political interviewers out there of candidates and elected officials. what we saw in that response was she was reminding not just black people but americans that, when we were going through the horrible pandemic and we saw with our own eyes just how disproportionately people of color and african americans in particular with impacted by that pandemic, and then to find out through bob woodward's book "roar" that trump was sending covid tests to a dictator, that should resonate. it absolutely should resonate, because the president of the united states is supposed to have the health and well-being of the american people first and

foremost in their minds and in their actions. the fact that he put russia and the dictator of russia ahead of the american people should be galling. >> i mentioned how she was trying to court the black vote as she's doing some of her outreach this week. we know people of color were even more impacted in the times of covid, especially earlier on in that pandemic time than white voters and white americans. meantime in atlanta, we heard this from trump, related to black and hispanic americans who don't support him. >> i'll tell you what, any african american or hispanic, and you know how well i'm doing there, that votes for kamala, you've got to have -- they are really screwing you. >> congressman, he's now said this about black voters, hispanic voters, jewish voters,

catholic voters. what do you make of it? >> well, ana, it's the divisive rhetoric that we have become accustomed to hearing from donald trump. this is just who he is, how he tries to win elections, divide and conquer. he has had some success with hispanic voters, and he's hoping to add to that. i don't think the strategy he's using in terms of insulting those who aren't supporting him, i don't think that's the best strategy. >> could it backfire, in fact? >> he's made some significant gains with hispanics, and he's going to univision. so clearly trump sees the hispanic community as a community where he can win more votes. >> well, we'll see. thank you very much. appreciate you guys. be sure to catch jonathan every saturday and sunday here on msnbc. now to georgia, where more than 300,000 early votes were cast on day one.

developing overnight, a fulton county judge blocked a sweeping new georgia election rule. that new rule would have required election workers to hand count the ballots cast in each precinct, a task that critics say would have caused delays and disruptions. our legal correspondent has been following all of this from the beginning. lisa, the judge blocked this hand counting rule. so what does that mean now? >> well, the judge's decision yesterday is what's called a temporary injunction. it means the rule can't take effect october 22nd as it was scheduled to, but that doesn't mean that the rule is forever gone. at a later point, and after the election, the judge will have a hearing on the merits. he will have a much more fulsome opportunity to examine the lawfulness of this rule. all his ruling said yesterday was, as you noted, too much, too late. this could plunge this election into chaos, regardless of

whether it's sound policy ultimately. >> this was the second significant ruling from the judge on election rules, if people were tuning in yesterday, we talked about the other ruling he made in the morning that the boards have to certify election results. so where does that leave georgia voters in does anything really change when it comes to the vote counting and the certification of results in this key state, in this key election? >> if you're a voter in georgia right now, you could consider his two rulings to be preserving the status quo, and preventing the georgia board of elections from changing the rules of the game at the 11th and one half hour as he said in his decision yesterday. so for georgia voters, this is a preservation of the status quo in an effort to prevention the georgia election board in plunging this election into chaos.

>> i have a feeling a lot of the election workers are breathing a sigh of relief. thank you for your reporting. it's not just the presidential race making headlines. could a senate seat in texas turn blue? we're tracking major senate showdowns as we get an exclusive with the potential next speaker of the house. the balance of power on capitol hill on focus. could the u.s. pull the plug on military aid to israel? and no mincing words here. another major recall over listeria concerns. we're talking nearly 10 million pounds of meat this time. which brands and supermarkets are impacted. supermarkets are impacted (woman) look i got the new iphone 16 pro at verizon. apple intelligence is pret-ty awesome.

look, it's a pattern we have seen at the presidential level, because it's what kamala harris does, as well. >> he's never there for us when we need him. when the lights went out, he went to cancun. >> joining us now to discuss this and more, mora gillespie, and julie ribinski, co-founder of "lift our voices." ladies, good to have you here. let's start with what we just heard in that senate debate there in texas. mora, we heard a lot of the same issues that come up as we talk about the presidential race. what were your top takeaways? >> the issues that they're focus on is across the board. republicans, democrats, in the flings have gone too far on different issues. what you are seeing now is they realized they went too far and trying to go back to the midding where the rest of the country is. so you have ted cruz talking about the border, trying to hit colin allred on that, saying you didn't do anything. vice versa, you're hearing colin

talking about january 6th and his support for donald trump, and trying to compare that to you're not -- both of them calling each other extreme, reminding the voters that what the voters really want is something in the middle. >> texas hasn't elected a democrat for president since jimmy carter. they haven't elected a democratic senator since the '90s. is colin allred doing what he needs to do to change that? >> texas has also never had the federal abortion ban that allowed the federal government to get out of this business and allowed places like texas to institute something that is literally costing women's lives. so, based on that alone, there are plenty of republican women who have the opportunity to come over on this issue. they may not want to vote for kamala harris, but they don't want to vote for ted cruz who has not endeared himself to the people of texas and has they have really matched that donald trump has in polling. so, look, i don't know that

demographically has caught up on the presidential level. i don't know whether it's caught up even in the senate level, but it could be this year, because you have the confluence of the abortion ban, ted cruz, and just a growing sense of people of color growing in power and population in texas, and i think based on all of that alone, there's an outside chance that texas could go democratic. >> we heard ted cruz lean into the culture wars in particular. let's listen. >> congressman allred joined 100 radical democrats in demanding that our military allow drag shows on military bases, pay for soldiers to have sex changes using taxpayer money, and pay for children to be sterilized and have sex changes on military bases. >> when ted cruz starts talking about team sports, you have to watch out, because the only position he ever played was left out. sit this one out, please. listen, i don't support boys playing girls sports, i don't. >> why did you vote for it?

why did you vote for it? >> we're in a political environment where inflation, abortion, cost of living are top issues for a lot of voters. were these smart attacks? >> it's what republicans -- donald trump has obviously spent millions of dollars on these ads pointing out that kamala harris is for they, them. donald trump is for you. that line of advertising has been effective, because it's targeting fear, and we know that fear is a motivator for people to go out and vote. if they feel like their livelihood or their life is threatened in some ways. i don't think that as a society, it's a good message to be focused on and there are so many other issues like the economy. that's what donald trump is really good at and focuses on. i do think the majority -- or a bloc of voters who do worry about this issue, but with them being targeted in this way for

afraid and angry, what does that say about us if that's the motivating factor to go out and vote? >> bigger picture, because democrats have a very thin majority currently in the senate, and they are defending a lot of seats this cycle. there's sherrod brown in ohio, a state trump carried by eight points in 2020. there's jon tester in montana where trump won by 20 points. so julie, with these uphill battles in mind, what are the chances do you think that the democrats holding onto the senate? >> it's tough because the razor thin margins are even tougher to win, and jon tester is in a very tough state, no matter how popular he, is it will be hard to go against the flow of a trump tsunami that might happen in montana. sherrod brown is in a better place, he's a very well known quantity there. you have to look at the facts that the senate, until we get rid of the filibuster, there's

not much you can do. so trump if he becomes president, and there's a republican senate, there will be more supreme court justices that will go further and further with your rights, whether it's marriage equality, all of these things are at stake. people are not just voting party, they're voting for their rights. that's something women in ohio need to understand, women in montana need to understand, women in west virginia need to understand. this is not just about party, this is about you and the fact that if you have a republican president in the white house, whoever mitch mcconnell's successor is this the senate, those people will put people on the bench that will take more of your rights. >> mora, julie, thank you both for coming in. up next, could u.s. support for israel be at a breaking point? the new warning over israel's

actions in gaza and whether future military aid could be on the line. plus, total recall of nearly 10 million pounds of meat. listeria fears and the products you should be tossing in the trash. trash. showing up. being there. how can i help? it's how people see you. grandpa! it's how you lead your life. thanks for coming, dad. at unitedhealthcare, being reliable is what we're all about, too. so now that it's medicare annual enrollment, turn to us for coverage and support you can count on. call now to learn more about aarp medicare advantage plans from unitedhealthcare. our plans are designed for all ages and stages of medicare... with benefits built to fit your life, like $0 annual physical exams, lab tests and preventive care like mammograms and colonoscopies. and you'll get more for your medicare dollar... with $0 copays on covered routine dental services... a $0 eye exam and an allowance for eyewear...

we're back with a new warning from the u.s. to israel. improve the humanitarian situation in gaza within the next 30 days or the u.s. may restrict military assistance.

this warning coming as the death toll in gaza has surpassed 42,000 people since the october 7th attack, according to authorities there in gaza. the u.s. officials have not specified the consequences israel could face. the u.s. has still signaled its support for israel's limited campaign against hezbollah. joining us now is air reason mclaughlin in tel aviv, along with hagara. ladies, thank you for being here. erin, what kind of reaction is this new warning getting in israel and for groups advocating for palestinians? >> reporter: well, ana, today i spoke to a human rights activist, that runs an ngo based in central gaza. he told me he has field workers in northern gaza. he was describing just a desperate situation all across the strip, but especially

concentrated in a refugee catch where israel is focusing its military operations. he told me that no one can leave. no food in and no food out. take a listen. >> all the people there, anyone move they're shooting them. so the people are stuck. no one can move. and they're cutting every, every, everything, like there is no water, no food, no medicine, no anything. >> reporter: you can hear the desperation there in his voice. i asked for his reaction to that 30-day notice that the u.s. has given to israelis to improve the situation. he said that 30 days is simply too much time. he needs action now. the israeli officials here say that they have received that

letter from the united states. they are reading through it, and taking it seriously, ana. >> erin, thank you very much. hagara, u.n. agencies say israel has been blocking all food aid from entering northern gaza for the last two weeks and humanitarian aid has fallen 50% sense its peak in april according to the state department. so why this move now when this situation in gaza has been dire for months? >> well, you know, you make a very good point about mentioning the date of april, because april is when the state department last issued the letter to the israeli government, urging them to increase humanitarian aid. that's how they reached that peak. and so the state department is saying it's fallen 50% since then, we're sending you another letter because clearly there was an effect from the last one. humanitarian aid, having been on the other side of a lot of foreign policy strategies from the u.s. government, humanitarian aid is a very strong prong of any strategy coming from the united states.

it's something the u.s. believes is a key pillar of any military or diplomatic strategy, anything where you're trying to reach an end game that provides long-term security or where you're going to achieve some kind of stability. in terms of the timing now, it really, i believe, in large part has to do with how much has fallen. the last two weeks, we have seen operations increase in the north. and you also have an election coming up, i don't think we should dismiss that the administration is very aware of that and they want to feel like this had an effect the last time they did. >> they haven't specified what would be withheld when it comes to military support. the u.s. confirmed that it's sending an anti-missile system and additional troops to israel. could we see any change on that front, or is this more about future military assistance? >> the missile defense system as the troops have more to do with the defense of israel than supporting any kind of military

operations on the part of the israeli government. and they certainly believe that's an important piece in particular as we await israel's response to the iranian assault that you had a few weeks ago, which is something that we're anticipating any day now. so that's on that front. now, the u.s., they're grappling with two things here. we have conditions tied to our military assistance that those who are recipients of it must follow international humanitarian law, and that is what this letter is focusing on. on the other hand, we also legally have pledged to maintain israel's qualitative military edge, which means they maintain superiority militarily in the region. so you can say we can deploy this missile defense system and troops, but that other aid might be at risk. by the way, i don't think that will go down easily on capitol hill because of these laws. i do think you'll have members of capitol hill argue and say

it's not that cut and dry. >> it's never that cut and dry. thank you very much for being with us. it can be difficult to understand the scale of destruction in gaza, and what life is like now for palestinians there after a year of war. a new nbc news digital documentary "boarded to gaza" follows the journey of one palestinian woman as she goes to one of the last functioning maternity wards in gaza to give birth alone without her family.

>> just one of the touching moments in this documentary. if you want to see more, we have a qr code right there on your screen, you can just scan that and watch the documentary, "born into gaza." next on "ana cabrera reports," inside the democrat's mission to take back the house, and exclusive interview with hakim jefferies, the potential next speaker, who is trying to move his party into the majority. nto the jority

happening right now in florida, the harris campaign is holding a press conference with families that were separated under the trump presidency, including children who were separated during that zero tolerance policy in 2018. take a listen to one of their stories. >> during the trump administration in 2018, i suffered a lot of trauma. i came into the united states in 2018, and when i first got to the immigration centers, i was being held there for three days. after those three days, i was lied to. i was told that my dad was going to court and i would get to see him the next day. after that day, i never saw him again for 40 days. >> listen to this, dhs data this spring showed more than 1,000 kids separated under that policy

still haven't been reunited with their parents. most of the attention has been on the 2024 presidential race. house democrats are sending big bucks and big names to lower profile house races that could have a big say on the balance of power in the capitol. our next reporter was first to report that democrats are spending $3 million on ads in non-battleground states to promote the message that down ballot races matter. and at the same time, minority leader hakim jefferies is asking voters to put people over politics. nbc got an exclusive one on one interview with jefferies. hakim jeffreys is in a safe new york seat, so where is he campaigning to try to flip the house? >> reporter: you wouldn't expect to find hakim jefferies of brooklyn out in albuquerque, new

mexico. but democrats have governed as if they have the majority this congress. it's been chaotic, there have been bipartisan moments on the debt ceiling, on foreign aid. the democrats have had to step up and pass those bills with their republican count parts. so they say they've been doing the governing. now jefferies says he wants the gavel and the official majority to go with it. >> with that, i would like to introduce our next speaker of the house. >> if you could put odds on taking back the majority, what would you say? >> i'm not necessarily a betting man, but we are working as hard as i can. >> i'm saying 51/49. >> reporter: the only numbers he cares about are the ones on election day. slim margins mean flipping four seats would give democrats the majority. >> we're going to re-elect gay vasquez as the congressman from

the second congressional district. >> reporter: the road controlling the house goes through seats like this one. why is a guy from brooklyn in albuquerque, new mexico? >> it's important to keep the foot on the gas pedal. >> reporter: this is one of if tightest races on the map, one of more than two dozen flipable seats that could decides if it's jefferies or a republican holding the gavel come january. he's bouncing from new mexico to pennsylvania, and in california and new york. january 6th showed just how important who sits in the speaker's chair can be. >> we're prepared to affirm the will of the american people. >> do you believe mike johnson is, too. >> it remains to be seen whether extreme republicans are prepared to certify the election. >> reporter: speaker johnson is

the leader jefferies deals with now, but it was kevin mccarthy who set the tone for this chaotic congress. >> one of the extraordinary and unprecedented events, calm is an intentional decision. >> reporter: it may prove easier said than done if trump is back in the white house. >> we will find bipartisan, common ground with our republican colleagues on any issue, traditional republican colleagues. >> reporter: trump's not so traditional, huh? >> traditional republican colleagues to make life better for the american people. but we will push back against extremism when necessary. this is what we are dealing with. >> reporter: taking back the gavel, what is the first thing democrats need to do? >> we'll figure out the order of the legislation that will move on the house floor, but it's fair to say that a top priority

is to make sure that we pass, as we have done before, the women's health protection act in order to restore the protections of roe v. wade. >> reporter: now voters will decide if house democrats get that chance. ana, jefferies' travel schedule is one reminder of how big this map is, especially when you stop considering the presidential battleground states, which we rightly talk about a lot and look at where the key house races are for democrats or republicans to ultimately take or keep control of the house. you look, for example, at that reporting that we moved this morning that you mentioned in your introduction, $3 million in digital ads from the house democratic campaign arm that's going to be going to non-traditional or non-presidential battle ground states. they're talking about places like colorado, oregon, iowa, and california. again, those are not places that we talk about when we talk about the electoral count, but they

certainly are places that jeffreys is looking at as he tries to take back the majority. >> thank you for bringing that interview. up next, you may want to check your fridge. nearly 10 million pounds of meat recalled over new concerns. the supermarkets impacted and what you need to know. plus, a 30-year-old case back in the spotlight. could the menendez brothers be released? ers be releedas coming in.. big orders! starting a business is never easy, but starting it eight months pregnant.. that's a different story. i couldn't slow down. we were starting a business from the ground up. people were showing up left and right. and so did our business needs. the chase ink card made it easy. when you go for something big like this, your kids see that. and they believe they can do the same. earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase with the chase ink business unlimited card from chase for business. make more of what's yours.
