when we started feeding bogie the farmer's dog, he lost so much weight. pre-portioned packs makes it really easy to keep him lean and healthy. in the morning, he flies up the stairs and hops up on my bed. in the past, he would not have been able to do any of those things. more turmoil in the middle east today. drone strike was launched from lebanon towards the home of israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. the prime minister was not there and no casualties were reported but he has called an assassination attempt and vowed revenge against the iranian

group. in gaza, hospitals have come under fire with israeli airstrikes killing at least 50 people in the last 24 hours. two days after israel killed hamas leader yahya sinwar , says it will continue to escalate its attacks against israel. despite these departments, vice president harris again today expressed hopes that sinwar's death could hasten the end of the israel- hamas war. >> with the killing of sinwar , this creates an opening that i believe we must take full advantage of to dedicate ourselves to ending this were in bringing the hostages home. >> joining me now is jane harman, a former democratic congresswoman from california and chair on the national defense strategy board. thank you for coming to the saturday show. let me get your reaction with what the vice president said. does the killing of sinwar create an opening for

discussions to end this war? is it an opening that i minister netanyahu is willing to take? >> it does create an opening. i agree with her that it does. first, the launching of three drones towards his home in caesarea is a dreadful thing. it needs to be denounced. the protection system in israel is not that great against drones. one of them hit a building near his house. we need to condemn that. this -for-tat, endlessly in gaza and lebanon, and maybe with iran too, is not getting anywhere. i think it is time for leaving netanyahu to consider his own legacy. the elections in israel are next year. 2026. your and a half, i guess. i doubt that he will be able to claim israel is still at war and suspend the elections. i don't think it looks good for him in a year and a half unless he takes the win, as biden says,

and uses the death of these major leaders, both in gaza and lebanon and the political leader of hamas, who was in cutter, to change course. what would that be? obviously, the hostages have to come back. obviously, there has to be governance in gaza without hamas. hopefully the lebanese will put together the multi-faction government they had before. if those things can start to happen and to deal with saudi arabia can happen, then the pushback against iran would be obvious. rather than more -for-tat with iran not bombing the nuclear sites, because i gather that is off-limits, rather than that, how about isolating iran? how about really destroying the proxies that it has surrounding israel and moving forward with

some form, over time, of two states? >> everything you just said is eminently reasonable. it is actually what should happen. yet, do you think that prime minister netanyahu is even remotely there? >> no. i don't think so. but that is why i started with, what does he want his legacy to be? let's understand, we made a mistake like this, i think, in afghanistan. first of all, we accomplished our mission to degrade al qaeda. then we caught osama bin laden but we kept going. and look what happened. we had an endless war with a very, very bad ending. you look at afghanistan now. it is run by the taliban. women are now in the stone age again. and it is all the progress and all the hope is lost. we should have taken the win too. so i don't think he is learning our lessons. i am suggesting to him that he has a really good opportunity here for the remainder of his

term to build a piece structure around israel and create opportunity for palestinians. if they see opportunity, these proxy terrorist movements will decline and that, it seems to me, is the long-term vision for israel's security, and he will go down in history as a peacemaker for israel. >> let me get you on something else. leaving israel and going to ukraine. i have seen reporting that north korea is sending troops, or helping russia. what does that do to the dynamic and the calculus here? can the united states and nato in the western alliance avoid getting more directly involved in ukraine? >> well, doing nothing, or letting russia when, with help, an enormous help from china, north korea, and iran. there is this alliance of

grievance or whatever you want to call among the countries. that is one of the things this commission of national defense strategy called out. but letting russia win means not only will russia illegally invade the sovereignty of the country next door, which it promised to respect when ukraine gave up its nukes in 1994, but it will then move on into europe and invade nato countries and then article five will be invoked and will be war with russia. so it is in our interest to push back russia and we have to provide more aid for ukraine. i have been there twice this year. they are enormously brave and they are enormously innovative. they are making their own drones and their own tanks. they are using the foreign aid and air cover to protect what they can of their country. so in this case, i think it is very clear that europe continuing to step up and isolate president biden from

being in germany yesterday and continuing to step up, i salute kamala harris for saying she will continue to step up. >> california congresswoman jane harman. thank you, as always, for coming onto the saturday show. coming up, a critical race for the united states senate in missouri, where a key endorsement did not go to the republican incumbent. democratic senator lucas kunce is taking on josh hawley and he joins me after the break. ♪ control is everything to me ♪ and now i'm back in the picture. feel significant symptom relief at 4 weeks with skyrizi, including less abdominal pain and fewer bowel movements. skyrizi helped visibly improve damage of the intestinal lining. and with skyrizi, many were in remission at 12 weeks, at 1 year, and even at 2 years.

kunce and praising his views and policies. it goes on to claim hawley is, quote, possibly the worst sitting senator in america right now. after his role in spurring the insurrectionist on january 6th. and now, in a new ad, kunce has taken a job of his own at hawley . >> misleading. false lies. you know why? and not about what he has done for us would look like this. >> joining me now is democratic candidate for state and missouri, lucas kunce. thank you for coming back to the saturday show. your reaction when you got the st. louis post dispatch endorsement. a very forceful, skating endorsement against hawley but a very good one, substantive one, in support of you. >> absolutely. we are seeing all the dominoes

fall here. our former u.s. senator, jack danforth, the guy who made josh hawley, has also said josh hawley was the worst mistake he has ever made and that he should no longer be a u.s. senator. we are getting endorsements from groups that are republicans. the numbers are getting so close. it has got josh hawley so scared that you won't believe what happened. he actually came back to the state of missouri the other day to do a one day jet tour with harrison dr. period they called it their step aside tour. i am telling you, the more he opens his mouth, the closer this race gets. we are excited about taking all the way to the fifth. >> what is interesting about him jetting around the state is that he is doing it on a private jet, which is the same thing he took then senator claire mccaskill, took her to task, when he ran against her

in 2018. >> there is really no end to the hypocrisy with this guy. he got so ashamed by that but he decided to do a two-week bus tour across missouri, which lasted three days. i guess being in missouri for two days felt like two weeks for him. he actually appended his bus, illegally parked in a parking lot. this guy has got no respect from missourians. he is literally the worst member of congress. the number one issue in our country right now and in our state's women's reproductive rights. the guy recently said, the women shouldn't have access to no-fault divorces anymore. i guess he is tired of people getting out of unsafe and abusive marriages. the numbers are getting close. if anyone can help us keep ads like you just saw up, lucas kunce website. i am a 13 year marine veteran. we pair that up with him, we win this thing. >> you are talking about amendment three, the ballot amendment related to abortion

in missouri. you served one tour in iraq and two in afghanistan. one more thing in the 92nd that we have left. according to 538, the averages of the polls, it has you behind hawley by 10 points although here, we see this emerson college poll where hawley is up by 11. do you think those are accurate polls? how do you think you can close that gap? >> more recently, a poll showed us within four and another within five. those were several weeks ago. i am a normal guy whose family went bankrupt from medical bills when we were growing up. i got saved because the working- class people in our neighborhood brought food by the house and took care of us. i spent my life as a u.s. marine trying to pay that back and i can tell you right now, that means i didn't have a lot

of money going into this race. we raised a lot. we've done a significant job. eight, maybe 10 weeks now on the air. we have closed the gap of being behind large double digits. four or five points out. we have got a few weeks left to close the gap. josh hawley keeps putting his foot in his mouth. he can't say that we can't have access to no-fault divorces. if you can't trust me on this, this man is running like a man who is afraid. you've got a video up of him across from me at the state fair. i am so excited to take this one back for all of us. >> i was about to ask if that was a video, were you challenging him to a debate or did he come up to you? >> no, he came up to me like it was friday night smack down on wwe. just ran up to me, yelling as much as he could. camera trailing him. trying to get a manly shop.

you can see him wearing the cutest little outfit he could come up with. pearl snaps, the whole shebang. it is embarrassing for all of us. i tell you, it is an opportunity . we don't know when we are going to get here again. i am excited to go all in on this. again, go to lucaskunce.com. help us out. >> lucas kunce, candidate in missouri. thank you for coming to the saturday show. we have reached out to senator hawley's campaign and we haven't heard back. still to come. cultural warriors work overtime to ben books. libraries across the country are fighting back. president and ceo of the brooklyn library, linda johnson, joins me to discuss next. used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older.

(♪♪) (♪♪) voltaren... for long lasting arthritis pain relief. (♪♪) today, public libraries across the united states are leading protests against and unprecedented surge in book bans. publishers are participating in the first-ever freedom to read day of action, holding voter representation drives and anti- censorship rallies in every state. this association found that

book bans, which have become a major flashpoint on the right, targeted a major 4200+ titles last year. joining me now, linda johnson, president and ceo of the brooklyn library. welcome back to the saturday show. this is the first time you have organized a day of action in addition to banned books week. why now? >> it is not an accident that we have done this now. part of it is the fact that we are leading up to the selection in a year where book bans have been instituted at an unprecedented level. we didn't enough before the election so that we could have a whole session getting people registered to vote. we believe that the majority of people in this country are not in favor of censorship but that there is a lack of awareness and we wanted to amplify the issue. >> you are asking supporters to become, quote, intellectual freedom voters. what does that look like at the

ballot box? >> i think that the important issue is that we are trying to get elected officials and legislators to understand that their constituents care deeply about this issue and will vote on this issue. so first step, obviously, getting people registered to vote. second step, identifying people. in municipalities, there is a library in just about every municipality in the country where there are no bills being enacted that are banning books of a particular topic or category of topics. you know, it started about three or four years ago when they were banning one book at a time but the movement has gotten much more sophisticated and effective. >> all right. linda johnson, president and ceo of the brooklyn library. thank you very much. sorry this was such a short conversation but it is election season. thank you very much. we are going to go to vice president kamala harris, who is now speaking in atlanta. let's listen as she criticizes donald trump. >> -- ready to chart a new way

forward. we are ready. we are ready for a new and optimistic generation of leadership! all of you, all of you. which is why democrats, republicans, and independents are supporting our campaign. in fact, earlier this week, over 100 republican leaders across the country joined me on the campaign trail. including some who worked in donald trump's administration. and i believe, as i travel our country, americans really want a president who works for all the american people. all the american people. who understands that the vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates

us. right? folks are exhausted with someone trying to have americans point their fingers at each other. we are exhausted with it. that is why i say, it is time to turn the page on that. let's turn the page. and have a president who cares about all the people. you all know, i have only ever in my career had one client. the people. the people. as a young courtroom prosecutor, i stood up for women and children. as attorney general of california, i thought for students and veterans. as vice president, i have stood up for workers and seniors. as president, i will fight for all the american people. and together we will build a brighter future for our nation.

together. we will build a brighter future that includes what i call an opportunity economy. so that every american has the opportunity to own a home, to build wealth, to start a business, and to build that opportunity economy, we have got to bring down the cost of living. because while inflation is down and wages are up, prices are still too high. you know and i know it. and so i have laid out a comprehensive plan to lower the cost that you pay on everything from prescription medication to groceries. and this -- >> all right. you have been listening to vice president harris rallying supporters in atlanta, georgia, where she is making her closing argument in these closing days of the 2024 presidential campaign. you heard her talk about a lot of things, including the opportunity of the economy if

the harris-walz administration is successful in november. that will do it for me and thanks for watching. tune in tomorrow to the sunday show, when dana nussle joins us live to discuss what voters are saying in her battleground state, just a couple of weeks from the election. that is tomorrow, 6:00 p.m. eastern, right here on msnbc.
