to go to him same old, same old playbook. >> it is not sure whether he knows how to joke without it being crass or insulting and mean and last night was just an example of that, taking shots aat the harris family and that is why she did not attend. she didn't want to be -- she wanted to be in battleground wisconsin. and between hillary clinton and donald trump just mere feet away from each other as they took cracks from each other just weeks out from the 2016 election and listen to what donald trump said last night. >> my opponent feels like she does not have to be here. which is deeply disrespectful. catholics, you have to vote for me. just remember. you better remember i'm here. and she's not. i could have done that too. i'm surprised that bill de blasio was able to make it tonight. he was a terrible mayor. i don't give a shit if this is

comedy or not. >> and you saw sitting next to him was chuck schumer but you have the likes of mike bloomberg and he tried to run against him tor president there 2020 and robert kraft, a one time friend ever donald trump and they not spoken and letitia james and kathy hochul of new york. there was some applause and boos. there was a moment he was not going to let go by. >> and we heard trump point out that vice president harris wasn't there. however, she did send a prerecorded message. featuring molly shannon in her snl catholic school girl character, mary catherine gallagher. let's listen to that. >> is there anything that you think i shouldn't bring up tonight. >> well don't lie. thou shall not bear false wit to thy neighbor. >> especially of thy neighbors election results. >> so you know, there will be a fact checker there tonight.

>> who? >> jesus. >> and don't say anything negative about catholics. >> i won't do that. that is like criticizing detroit in detroit. >> so mark, is there any down side for harris not appearing in person, do you think? >> zero. i mean, first of all, this is insiders telling inside jokes. most of which the insiders don't get and it has no impact on voters. so much better decision to be in a state, in a swing state. and yet this is an interesting psychological -- remember it was 2011 at the washington correspondent's dinner where president obama trolled donald trump and made him so mad that history said that that is when it inspired him to run for president in the first place. so you could see, he's not funny. absolutely just became a vengeance for him to just attack everybody he loves to attack without consequence. so no real world impact.

but there are some interesting psychological underpinnings behind the scenes there. >> and mark, today, cnn said trump didn't respond to their petition to participate in a pennsylvania town hall. in response the harris campaign communication director wrote donald trump's low energy approach in the final weeks continues. this follows a number of other cancellations, even an event with the nra. what is going on there? what is his strategy? >> i think it is interesting. the most important at tribute for president is looking for strength. harris looked strong on fox. she's been doing all kinds of forums and podcasts and trump meanwhile has been -- he canceled 60 minutes. he canceled the cnbc appearance and he canceled the second debate and an nra rally and the shade room podcast with black voters. so that shows that he's -- i

mean, he's looking weak. he's the one that looks defensive and week and harris looks confident and strong and that is why i feel like the physics of this race have changed in the last 40 to 48 hours. it looks like she's balling and he's stalling an falling. >> got to leave it there. i appreciate you both. thank you so much and happy friday. still ahead, the profiting president. new allegations that donald trump was overcharged secret service agents to stay in his hotel back when he was in office. and in a year that brought us everything from heat waves to hurricanes, a look at impact climate change is having on america's mental health, next.

welcome back. in a brand-new report from house democrats accusing donald trump of overcharging secret service agents by as much as 300% to stay at his d.c. hotel when he was president. just one part of a larger investigation into financial benefits trump allegedly received in office. nbc's ryan nobles has this reporting and joining us now. what else does this report say, ryan. >> reporter: well this is a report that house democrats have been working on for sometime. but it only looks at a narrow window in a trump presidency and only 11 months an the trump hotel in downtown d.c., the former hotel in downtown d.c.

it said that the secret service was charging room rates at the trump hotel at 300 times the rate that normally the government would pay for hotel rooms for secret service as they guard members of the trump family. it also showed examples of how folks that were looking for patronage or appointments were routinely staying at the trump hotel during this period of time. including people looking for government jobs, looking for judiciary appointments and presidential pardons. this is trump violating what is called the emoluments clause which prohibits presidents from personally being benefited while serving in office and they say it is an indication that he's in violation of the constitution. but the problem is while the constitution said that this kind of conduct is not allowed. it doesn't provide any sort of a remedy or a penalty if a president has violated it.

a president has been sued and the courts have reject the claims because there is no penalty related to this. so this report doesn't say that something should be done to donald trump. it said that congress needs to pass stricter laws that clearly state that presidents and their families are not allowed to benefit from the oval office and if they do, attach penalty associated with it. this is at the heat of the presidential campaign and republicans argue this is a partisan report, it is just to hurt president trump's campaign as he tries to get back into the oval office. but it does reveal this very questionable amount of conduct that took place during that period of time that he was in office. anna. >> ryan nobles, thank you for bringing us that reporting. and let's turn now to the deadly impacts of climate change impossible to ignore from the hottest summer from flooding from milton and he'lline killing

at least 275 people in the last month. there are still dozen that are missing and the presidents striking different tones on the issue of the climate crisis. >> if you track the way that this is all happening, it is getting worse. >> the real global warming that we have to worry about is nuclear. the waters coming up an eighth of an inch, the ocean is going to rise and nobody knows if that is true or not. >> initial data already links man made climate change to the extreme weather events and a new study shows climate change is hurting not just the environment but the mental health of 85% of young people. let's dig into this are dr. lisa van sustren from george washington university and co-founder of climate psych atty

and dr. vin gupta from the institute for health metrics and evaluation. it is great to you have both here. such an interesting discussion. doctor, you worked on this study and there are some stark numbers. 16 to 25-year-olds feel anxious or powerless or angry, tell us about your findings. >> this shows something that we as professionals have been seeing now for many years. and the statistics are confirming, corroborating what we've been seeing. and they're very important because they do bring some shock value that breaks through all of the noise of the other things that are going on. but what really hurts beyond these numbers which won't necessarily stay in our minds, but it is the stories that these statistics tell. on an individual basis in our kids. they're suffering 60%, they feel

they are doomed more than half are not thinking that they are going to be able to make choices about their lives where they live, whether they'll have kids, et cetera. it is just so highly unjustice and we had to do something about it. >> dr. gupta, we have talked about the physical impacts of environmental changes. but when we're talking about the connection between climate and mental health, how do you see it? >> i'm delighted and so thankle to the doctor and her team for putting the study out there. to your point, what we've talked about is the impacts to your heart, to your lungs, the air you breathe, the heat you feel, but there is the mental health impacts. and there is a silver liner here from the study, that hopefully as we move to a new generation of leaders, that there is going to be more political consensus and this is not a partisan issue for junger generations. the feelings, anxiety, irritability and the impacts on

mood and increased rates of depression. these things are seeing whether you're a democrat or republican and that is critical because we're seeing in the state of washington, as an example, there is an effort to roll back the climate commitment act. this is the initiative 2117 and it is a focus on climate and health. the impact of climates on human health. that is the most persuasive argument we're finding when we tell voters you have to think about this in the abstract and how it impacts your actual body ands that resonating with people. we need to talk more about this. >> the psychology piece. because young people feel so powerless and there is so much uncertainty. >> to some extent. and here we're seeing an older demographic of leaders, the vociferously disagree on whether climate change is real or not and that makes a lot of people in younger demographics feel powerless and it concerns me

that people don't want to have a family because of what they're seeing all around them. and so those impacts, especially heat, anna, phoenix just had three straight weeks of record-breaking heat every single day from the middle of september until yesterday. that is having direct impacts on mood, irritability and it is having impacts on mental health. >> you mentioned that are still those climate denies including 23% of our current congressional representatives. doctor, this study shows climate anxiety in young people across party lines and that is actually in line with a group of young conservative climate activities who are pushed for bipartisan climate action. take a listen to their founder here. >> i think there is this frustration for most americans about this issue being partisan. even if they feel like the left idea suck or the right has abandoned it and they're all climate deniers, i think most

people no matter how frustrated they are with either side could agree this issue has become hijacked by partisanship. >> do you think young people like that have a real shot of changing the game and making this nonpartisan? >> i think that depends a lot on how we message this. because, yes, we could talk about the statistics, but again, it is what lies behind this which is that we want to invoke a sustained feeling, we don't have to talk about partisanship. this is science, certainly statistics, but it is about having compassion and empathy and the desire to take care of our children who have said, you're not listening. so for us, the message that we're trying to drive home, is many of us have children, your children, my children, all children, our children want us to listen to what is happening. so it can drive the empathy that

is going to be necessary to establish the sustained change. because we cannot talk about this in a partisan way. it is not a partisan issue. it is about taking care of our children who are suffering and i'll say one thing and also that is very positive, is i have seen when parents feel their children are threatened, they can be unstoppable. and our message to parents today, listen to your kids. validate what they're saying and take action. >> i love that. that is such a powerful way to end this. thank you doctors. so great to have this conversation with both of you. appreciate it. >> thank you. still ahead, the last minute reprieve, in a texas death row case. the judge temporarily blocking the execution of a man convicted in a case involving shaken baby syndrome. even the lead detective in this case believes the man is innocent. our lester holt takes a closer look at his story.

just hours before he was set to die, the texas supreme court halted the execution of a man convicted of killing his daughter. in a case of shaken baby syndrome. it's a diagnosis that has since raised questions in the scientific community. our lester holt spoke to robert roberson from prison and shares why even the former lead detective on his case believes

he's innocent. >> for 20 years, robert roberson's story has never changed. >> did you harm your daughter, nikki? >> no, sir, i did not harm my daughter. >> what has changed is the controversial shaken baby syndrome diagnosis that convicted him of killing his 2-year-old daughter in 2002. >> you did nothing that led to her death? >> no, sir. >> roberson said he had rushed nikki to the hospital after she had fallen from her bed, and he found her unconscious. doctors determined the little girl had bleeding behind her eyes and brain which was also swollen. three symptoms known in medicine as the triad, at the time, doctors believes that could mean just one thing, abuse. but roberson's current attorney insists nikki was misdiagnosed. >> there was this tragic death of a chronically ill child. >> in fact, nikki had been to the hospital more than 40 times in her short life, including two

visits days before her death with a 104.5 degree fever. something that brian wharton, the detective who arrested roberson didn't know at the time. >> we were aware that she had been sick recently. but i don't think we ever understood how extensive that history was. >> wharton, now a minister, also didn't know that roberson had autism, explaining the lack of emotion that initially made the detectives suspicious. he wasn't diagnosed until 2018. he now believes roberson is innocent and regularly visits him. wharton has been fighting to save his life. so has an army of others, including a bipartisan majority of the texas legislature. >> we're at a point here where the truth about robert is being avoided. and justice is not being served. >> minutes before the scheduled execution, a judge issued a temporary restraining order, delaying it so roberson can testify at a hearing on monday.

i spoke with brian wharton by zoom. roberson asked him to witness his final moments. >> it's a heavy burden. >> he's asked me to be present, and i owe that to him. it doesn't feel like a burden, and so i will. to be with him, to make sure he knows that he's not alone. >> how are you preparing for your own death? >> i'm at peace. i'm ready to go, you know, like i tell people. god has the last say. >> our thanks to lester holt for that report. and that does it for me this hour. thanks for joining. i'll be back on monday at 10:00 a.m. eastern, right here on msnbc. stay close, "chris jansing reports" with jose diaz-balart just after this. after this.
