♪♪ ♪♪ it is good to be back with you on this second hour of "chris jansing reports." at this hour power pair. vice president harris and former president barack obama are, for the first time, hitting the campaign trail together tonight no georgia. the big celebrities coming with as they make their pitch for voters to turn out early in that swing state. college crowd appeal, donald trump rallies at arizona state university for his fifth trip to the state, first time in the land of the sun devils. his message in the border battleground. money in maryland, it's home to a key senate race that's cost more than six times what the last one did. what voters are saying as they head to the polls. plus, the million dollar question. is this legal? the department of justice is

warning elon musk that his super pac's daily million dollar giveaway violates federal law. we start with kamala harris bringing some star power to the campaign trail. former president obama tonight, beyonce tomorrow and nbc's aaron gilchrist is in georgia, just east of atlanta. aaron, what is harris saying about their support and other things? >> reporter: well, vice president harris just spoke a few minutes ago as she was leaving philadelphia on her way here to atlanta and she talked about several different things. she was asked about the idea of having so many of these big-name people step out for her. as you noted, president obama will be here with vice president harris just outside atlanta later this evening, along with bruce springsteen who will perform. kicking off what the campaign is calling a concert series geared toward getting out the vote. so much of the campaign has been talking about the vice president

harris communicating a message, driving enthusiasm, getting people excited about her candidacy. now the campaign has to turn that excitement into people voting early, in person or by mail or showing up at the polls on november 5th to cast their ballot and the campaign would like them to cast their ballots for vice president harris. i want you to hear a little about what the vice president had to say when she was asked about bruce springsteen, barack obama and beyonce who will appear with the vice president in texas tomorrow night. >> i'm very honored to have the support of former president obama. he's been on the campaign trail and has been really wonderful and extraordinary in terms of the time and effort he's putting into our campaign. people like bruce springsteen, to have their support and, of course, he's an american icon. i think it just shows the breadth and depth of the support we have and the enthusiasm. >> reporter: vice president harris didn't mention beyonce

there. i would say that's because her appearance has not been officially announced. a senior campaign official told our team she will appear with the vice president in texas tomorrow night. on tuesday a senior campaign official told us the vice president will give a speech on the national mall, the same place where former president trump gave that speech on january 6th, 2021 before rioters moved to the capitol and caused some much devastation and destruction there. the vice president will contrast former president trump's worst day in office, january 6th arguably, with the vision that she has for the future, one that she has cast as being optimistic about what's possible for this country and what's possible if she wins the election and is able to take over the presidency come january. chris? >> aaron gilchrist, thank you. now to donald trump who is set to rally in battleground arizona where he'll continue to

hammer his immigration message. garrett haig is on the ground there. garrett, what are we expecting from donald trump later today? >> reporter: chris, you're right to predict a heavy dose of immigration from donald trump. it's clearly the issue foremost on his mind over the last couple days. he said he believes it will be the issue above the economy or cost of living which poll higher among voters, that will decide this election ultimately. lately he's been on the defensive about the way that kamala harris talks about immigration, particularly her claims that it is donald trump who is responsible for killing that bipartisan border deal negotiated in congress earlier this year. listen to what he said about that last night. >> they've told you with this bill that they keep saying trump called the senators and said don't sign it, they're wrong about that. what they don't say is that they put a little bit -- they made it harder because they're being killed in this election.

they made it harder. they wanted the numbers to look better. what they didn't stop are boeing 747s and 757s and 767s flying over our border loaded up with migrants and dropping them off. >> reporter: chris, the flights he's talking about there are for folks who are prescreened and approved for parole in this country. those are commercial flights. putting on my capitol hill hat, donald trump communicated his desire to see congressional republicans kill the immigration bill. nevertheless, we'll see that be a contentious issue. i'm interested -- we were on a college campus here at arizona state university. trump has doubled down on trying to reach young men in this campaign. does he tweak his message to focus on the issues that young early 20s men who are trump

curious, who he's trying to make trump voters here in arizona where early voting is under way? >> garrett haig, thank you. now to maryland where early voting has begun in a state with a critical senate race. nbc's gary rumbach is there. you spoke to former governor larry hogan. tell us all about it. >> reporter: voters are voting. democracy in action. choose your cliche. it's happening here in maryland. i want to show you the poling place here. there's check-in over here on the left and voters in maryland have two choices. they can fill out a paper ballot and fill it in with a pen or go and do it electronic here in this line on the right. either way, they get in line here and their ballot gets counted in these machines that are held until election day. i'll show you some of the line here we've been seeing.

i want to talk to you about the people we've talked to that are excited to vote. it's like christmas morning for them. listen. >> i'm excited to make my voice heard and i'm so excited for this day where i can come and do my constitutional duty. just to be around everyone else that's also exercising that same right. >> it's so phenomenal that i couldn't wait to vote. it's like i barely could sleep the night before. i'm so glad to be out here to support the community, the world. i'm just glad to be here to vote. >> reporter: these are the dozens of people in line waiting to vote on this first day of early voting. you mentioned the senate race, one of the most expensive senate races in maryland history. more than $60 million in ads. if you're watching local news in baltimore or d.c., you know what i'm talking about. nothing but ads. early voting here ends at the

end of october. >> gary, thank you. let's go to the justice department's new warning to billionaire elon musk's america pack. its $1 million sweepstakes to register voters they say might be illegal. ken dilanian is following this for us. >> reporter: to enter this contest, to be eligible for the $1 million you have to be a registered voter in pennsylvania, arizona and elsewhere. some legal experts say it comes close to violating a federal statute saying you can't pay people to register to vote. the justice department sent a letter putting them on notice this contest may violate federal law and could prompt a criminal investigation. it was a brushback pitch to get the pac to change its conduct. they did change the rules. most legal expertsprosecution.

>> ken dilanian, thank you . coming up, what kamala harris wants americans to consider one week before election day. senior adviser to the campaign, ian sams, joins us next. joins u. or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy? even a term policy! find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the number on your screen, or visit coventrydirect.com.

the presidential campaign of kamala harris is a celebrity-studded sprint.

atlanta tonight with barack obama and bruce springsteen. houston tomorrow where she'll be joined by beyonce. then a rally with michigan obama in michigan over the weekend. we may have gotten a preview of her message. >> you have the choice of donald trump who will sit in the oval office stewing, plotting revenge, retribution, writing out his enemy's list or what i'll be doing, which is responding to folks like the folks last night with a to-do list, understanding the need to work on lifting up the american people, whether it be through the issue of grocery prices and bringing them down or investing in our economy, investing in our small businesses, investing in our families. >> joining us now is ian sams, spokesperson for the harris/walz campaign. good to see you again, ian. i'm curious about this, a decision to make a formal closing argument, although she

has been available, out there talking a lot, just took some questions in the last hour. why a formal closing argument? what are we going to hear? >> look, she sees this like the former prosecutor that she is, which is to lay out the case for the american people. she's presented all the evidence and now it's time to make her closing argument and crystallize the choice for the voters. you heard from her right there and heard it last night at the cnn town hall. the vice president is making clear voters have a real choice between a candidate that's focussed on themselves or a candidate that's focused on them and their needs. that's a fundamental choice. she'll talk about that. she'll talk about how we have an opportunity in this election to turn the page on what has been a decade dominated by donald trump's division and offering the american people a hopeful

and optimistic plan forward, something they can look forward to. you see all this energy that's being brought to the table from supporters like bruce springsteen, president obama, michelle obama who are energizing voters to get out there and turn the page on president trump and pursue a new way forward as embodied by the vice president and her plan to take on issues that matter to people. >> you talk about the positive message. we do hear some of that. we also hear about a donald trump who is unstable, unhinged who she called a fascist. she decided to come out and speak and make some very tough points, some of the toughest i've heard her make after we heard from general kelly and the article in "the atlantic." she's talked from the beginning about wanting to inject hope and joy. on the other hand there's this tough talk. are we seeing a conscious

strategic shift in messaging or the balance of messaging? >> i think she's trying to make sure that voters remember what a donald trump presidency looks like. you don't just have to take her word for it. you mentioned it. the people who know donald trump best are issuing what she called at the cnn town hall a 911 call to the american people and saying we were there with him. we were alongside him in the situation room and in the oval office. this man poses a risk to our country. he doesn't care about you. he doesn't care about the constitution. he only cares about himself. he's seeking unchecked power to do with it what he will. in an interview with hugh hewitt, former president trump said the first thing he would do is fire jack smith. that's what he's prioritizing. that's what she's talking about when she says an enemy list. she's saying let's turn the page

on that. i'm going to focus on your needs, lowering your costs, making housing more affordable, protecting people's reproductive health care. she wants to move forward as a country. when you hear her talk about donald trump and you hear her talk about the risks he poses to this country, citing his former top officials is helping to remind the american people of what a donald trump presidency was like so they can remember it, think about it and choose to go in a new direction. >> early voting is under way in a lot of the country. i wonder what the early numbers are telling you and what percentage of voters in these seven key battleground states do you believe are still persuadable? >> a lot of voters have made up their minds and are going to the polls. we feel good about what we're seeing in the early vote data. more than 500,000 democrats have

voted in the commonwealth of pennsylvania. you're seeing women vote at a higher margin than men in early voting. all the data indicates that vice president harris is doing better among women than former president trump who has his own issues with women to contend with. we're seeing real enthusiasm with people getting the message out to their friends, knocking on doors. i talked about pennsylvania. it's such a critical battleground state. this past weekend alone, we knocked on 400,000 doors in the commonwealth of pennsylvania. we have a real -- >> how many were answered? >> how many were answered? we knocked on 400,000. i don't have the data in front of me how many doors were open. it's a time where people are like, why are you knocking on my door? it's campaign season. when you have an organization able to reach that many homes and reach that many people across pennsylvania, it shows an edge we have in this race over president trump. you mentioned he's sort of

outsourcing his organization to people like elon musk who don't really seem to know what they're doing. we feel confident in our ground game, our ability to turn out voters. we're seeing encouraging data of people who are sporadic or first-time voters casting their ballots for democrats. we're excited about what we're seeing in the early numbers. you'll see the vice president hitting the trail in the closing days at the finish of early voting in some states ahead of election day to continue that momentum. >> we talked about three polls out today, bloomberg, "wall street journal," cnbc, all show a race that's dead even, same with all battleground states. what do you think the real number of persuadables is, and do you know what message is

working? according to the polls, the economic message still heavily favors donald trump. >> you talk about the economic message, the bloomberg poll shows some exciting movement toward vice president harris on economic issues. she's continuing to have the edge over donald trump and who's looking out for the middle class which is a historic marker for a candidate's success. we're feeling good about her economic message, bringing down costs, making housing more affordable. we know it's going to be a really close race. there's a lot of people watching msnbc who have that nervous energy before an election. people should go to go.kamalaharris.com. you asked about the undecided voters. we have a small sliver of voters out there -- >> 2%, 3%? >> a consequential sliver of

voters who if you reached out to five people and made contact and it pushed them over the edge, if 500 people did that, it could swing the entire election. you have a situation where each candidate, they'll hit 46, 47% of the vote, maybe 48% of the vote and then you have that 4 or 5% of the people on the fence, whether they're trying to make up their mind between trump or harris based on how they voted in the past, based on what issues make the most sense to them or if they're truly undecided and they don't know enough to make a choice. we're trying to reach them where they are with people in their community who they trust and people who are trusted voices in society to say this election is important. the stakes are really, really high and you need to vote. >> ian sams, thank you for taking the time. coming up on "chris jansing reports" nevada's republican poll watchers could press new boundaries on election day.

inside the checklist they're being asked to complete. we'll be right back.

yeah, look at that. -honestly. someone get a helmet on this guy. xfinity internet customers, ask how to get an unlimited line free for a year. plus, a free samsung galaxy s24 fe. - [narrator] life with ear ringing sounded like a constant train whistle i couldn't escape. then i started taking lipo flavonoid. with 60 years of clinical experience, it's the number one doctor recommended brand for ear ringing. and now i'm finally free. take back control with lipo flavonoid. today a controversy surrounding poll watchers in a key battleground state. the nevada independent reports that state republicans are asking poll observers to complete a more than 15-item checklist on topics such as ensuring that voting machines are sufficiently secured and not

connected to the internet, even though poll watchers are not legally entitled to receive much of this information. the questions are unfolding just as donald trump is scheduled to hold a rally late tonight in las vegas. nbc's david noriega is in vegas. we have the ceo of the nevada independent and elise jordan a former aid to the george bush white house. john, your paper details, what's happening with poll watchers, what more do you want to tell us? >> it's outrageous and an obvious technique they're using now, chris. these are the same people who with the state republican party made the false claims of election fraud in 2020 and are claiming to be acting on behalf of the public to restore faith that they destroyed. the fact that they would put on a poll watcher checklist to make

sure that the machines are not connected to the internet is absolutely ludicrous. will they be checking to see if they're hooked up to italian satellites as well? chris, this is very insidious and a way for them to say that they've done all this in case trump loses nevada that they can say that they have reason, again, to suspect fraud. so this is pretty obvious what they're doing and i'm really glad that we were able to get this story out there. >> are they really asking for serial numbers? >> they're asking for a whole wrath of things, including serial numbers of voting machines. they want to make sure they're all secured properly. they want to look and make sure that ballots that are being rejected are actually defaced. the implication is that the poll people who work for the elections department are not doing their jobs properly and

that may be the reason republicans might lose. it's absolutely outrageous, chris, they would be doing this. what they're doing again is raising the spector that the system can't be trusted without one cintilla of evidence. >> elise, we spoke how both or parents worked at the polls. this might not only be happening in nevada. we know the trump campaign has said we have more than 1,000 poll watchers, volunteers, lawyers to make sure that this election is free and fair. what effect might this have? what kind of pressure might this put on the folks working these elections? >> it certainly could be intimidating. i wonder if they're fanning out to different regions they don't know, how will they be received by the local people there?

there's a lot going on with this plan that doesn't seem fully hatched. this goes with the political, legal strategy they're doing with lawsuits to cast aspersions on election results. they're laying the groundwork and this is another example. >> donald trump headline a las vegas rally tonight. david, tell us what you're hearing on the ground. >> reporter: this arena behind me is set to be where donald trump is speaking. the trump campaign are focusing on nevada and arizona because they think they can flip those states away from the democrats and to the republicans. they've been gaining ground with some key demographics in the state that were historically part of the democratic coalition, young voters, voters of colors. the harris campaign is talking about the economy and immigration and some of this

reporting in "the new york times" where former chief of staff john kelly talked about the way he praised hitler and hitler's generals. the dnc has a mobile billboard in las vegas highlighting that reporting in the atlantic. the question i have is will that messaging reach the persuadable -- small number of persuadable voters. i'll tell you about a person i spoke to earlier today, he's not here to attend the rally. a youngish guy, lives in nevada, told me he never voted before. he's pretty sure he's voting for donald trump. i asked him how do you feel -- do you care about this fascism reporting, the reporting tying donald trump to hitler and so forth. listen to what he said. >> have you seen any of that? has that crossed your radar? >> i heard it.

>> what do you think about it? >> i think it's politics. when you deal with politics, you have an agenda. you don't know why people say things or what the reasoning is. >> you don't particularly care about that news? >> i don't believe it. >> reporter: chris, each campaign is betting on something different. the trump campaign is betting that people like ben, low propensity voters, will vote on november 5th, not just tell reporters they're going to vote. the harris campaign is hoping that messaging in the home stretch of the campaign might turn them off, prevent them from going to the polls or win them over. it's the gamble and push and pull we're not going to know the outcome of until the votes are counted. >> thank you for that. john, you know nevada politics better than everyone. i say this every time you come on the show because it's true. you called nevada's early vote a

rural tsunami. what's going on? >> if you remember back in 2020, even to an extent in 2022, republicans were very much against, starting with donald trump, mail-in ballots and early voting. they realize they made a huge strategic error. they're encouraging their voters, including in the rural counties, the deep red counties of nevada, to vote early and vote by mail. that has allowed them to have a turnout advantage so far which is unusual in a presidential year. chris, as you know, the democrats build up a big fire wall as i call it in clark county where the democratic votes are. that's not happening this time. now we're only five days into 14 days of early voting and it could change. what's also true is that the republicans usually win election day here by a lot.

they're clearly cannibalizing some of that vote by having their people, or a lot of people, vote early. it's a little too early to make any definitive pronouncements. the numbers look strong for republicans now. talk to me in a week. it may be different. >> let me ask you about gotv. we keep hearing about how much money kamala harris has, how many paid employees they have. what are you seeing? >> there's the legendary read machine which goes on after the 2021 death of harry reid. it knows how to do this. there's a massive turnout operation. you would think the reid machine versus super pacs and elon musk wouldn't be a fair fight. they hired some good people on the republican side, including chris carr who used to work for donald trump and knows the state very well and helped the republicans elect their first

republican governor here in decades. they have some professionalism, but, if you're going in a turnout versus turnout, party by party, the democrats are ultimately going to have an advantage. >> let me ask you about that, if i can, elise. you do focus groups. you talk to people all the time. i have spent probably ten campaign cycles going door to door with people. it's always so interesting to me that people can be persuaded, if they'll answer the door, you walk up to them and you're mowing the lawn and they'll stop or whatever, but what's the importance of knowing what ground game is in place in these closing days? >> well, it's the low propensity voters we're hearing about. it's those voters that you really need to turn that you need to go out. one thing i heard at large about the ground games in the country right now is that the

republicans have really outsourced a lot of their ground game operations and their get out the vote to the outside groups. it doesn't have the professionalism that a normal election cycle would have. so the democrats by contrast have a better turnout machine in just how they've organized so far, whether these outside groups will fill the gap, that remains to be seen for republicans. >> elise jordan, john ralston, great to see you. i don't think i'll make it to nevada this year, but hopefully you come back. >> absolutely. donald trump says if elected, his day one plan includes firing special counsel jack smith in two seconds. in a new interview with hugh hewitt trump detailed his plan for the man who is charge of two investigations against the former president. vaughn hillyard is following

this for us. >> reporter: for donald trump, there's not only the sentencing, the potential sentencing of him for the guilty verdict where he was found guilty on 34 felonies in lower manhattan, but also the indictment related to the january 6th attack and the alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, the classified documents indictment which could come back if judge aileen cannon is overruled, this all will look over donald trump especially if he loses the presidential election. if he wins, he's the one in charge of the department of justice. you heard him suggest that he would seek to fire the special counsel. take a listen to that exchange with hugh hewitt. >> you're going to have to pardon yourself or fire jack smith. which will you do? >> oh, it's so easy. it's so easy.

he's a crooked person. it's so easy. i would fire him within two seconds. >> reporter: there you have it. donald trump suggesting that he would fire special counsel jack smith. of course he's called the charges against him a hoax. you could look at him to seek to have an attorney general or acting attorney general that would toss the indictments in the cases against him here. there's more than just a political election on the line, but also for donald trump potential freedom if he were sentenced to jail time in lower manhattan for his part of the hush-money trial sentencing, but also the serious federal charges he could face in 2025, but more likely 2026. donald trump is looking to stave that off if he wins the white house and making it clear what his intent would be within the white house as it relates to federal charges. >> vaughn hillyard, thank you. coming up, hearing from

vladimir putin today, the closing speaker at an event aimed at countering western power. in a rebuke of the u.s. effort to isolate the kremlin, leaders from 36 countries attended the

summit. nbc's keir simmons is reporting live from there. keir, you were at putin's speech. tell us more about it. >> reporter: that's right, chris. president putin is meeting with world leaders behind me. he hosted president xi, prime minister from india, a range of leaders. it's his attempt to show he's not isolated on the world stage. at the same time those accusations that there are now north korean troops in russia, the accusations from the u.s. and there are satellite images of 3,000 or more of them and they might soon be joining the war in ukraine. we had a chance to ask president putin a question about that. this is his first comment on that accusation. >> reporter: satellite images are said to show north korean troops here in russia.

what are they doing here? wouldn't that be a massive escalation in the ukraine war? mr. president, we're weeks away from the u.s. election. russia again is accused of interfering and that you have had private conversations with former president trump. have you been speaking with him and what have you been saying? >> translator: the actions of russia have not escalated things in ukraine, but the u.s. have improperly declared how much money they're pouring into it. this is our business. we have had negotiations with north korea. we'll see how that goes. we've been accused over the last year of intervening in the american elections in favor of trump. this is complete rubbish. >> reporter: he calls those reports that former president trump and president putin had private phone calls nonsense,

chris. we should point out we haven't seen any substantial evidence beyond the book by the veteran journalist bob woodward that those calls have taken place, but president putin was asked directly and said, well, this is all rumor and speculation. believe it or don't believe it. >> keir simmons, thank you. for the first time in months israel now says it will restart cease-fire and hostage negotiations. they'll join the cia chief and the qatar prime minister is doha sunday. it comes after israel struck a school turned shelter in the middle of the gaza strip, killing 17 people including women and children. 42 others were injured according to palestinian officials. nbc's matt bradley is in beirut. bring us up to date, matt. >> reporter: what we're seeing here is a last-ditch event for another attempt to try to ink

some deal to free the remaining hostages in the gaza strip. there are thought to be about 100 of them. many have already been killed. it's secretary blinken's 11th trip to the middle east. it points to some opening. the death of the leader of hamas who was a hard liner in the negotiations, back to november last year when there was a week-long pause in the fighting and more than 100 hostages were freed, that was the last time it was successful. ever since then round after round of negotiations have been met with failure. we're seeing this happening again because of this opening, the death of the leader of hezbollah. there's been a change in the leadership of these militant organizations that the israelis

have been fighting for more than the past year. there's no real indication that any of this effort towards a resolution is going to go anywhere at all, if for no other reason that chief negotiators from hamas have not participated in negotiations and those that have are now dead at the hands of the israelis. there's no reason to believe any of this will be successful. at the same time the need is pressing, especially for civilians in the gaza strip. there was a report just last week from u.n.-affiliated bodies saying the risk of famine is reaching 91% of the people in the gaza strip. that is something policy makers are trying to avert. the israeli have been accused time after time of not allowing aid into the gaza strip, particularly in the northern part of the gaza strip where the

fighting is most intense right now. we heard from news agencies speaking to people in the gaza strip. here's one man talking about his -- the dire situation and his lack of ability to get food. >> reporter: obviously, chris, this is a problem that is bad and getting much worse and one that really only diplomacy can solve. so many efforts toward diplomacy have failed up to now. chris? >> matt bradley with a sobering report. thank you. coming up boeing workers have grounded a new labor contract dealing a major blow to the company's bottom line. what will it take to get machinists back to work? you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc.

we don't know the why yet. we do know an individual at 1:20 a.m. local time set this drive-up collection mailbox on fire. inside there were ballots, as well as other miscellaneous mail. we don't know if it's related to the ballots. so many people vote by mail, there's people with ballots in the mailbox, ten days out from the election or so. surveillance footage was obtained by authorities and that is what likely led to the speedy arrest. >> thank you for that. another manger blow for boeing. more than 32,000 machinists voted against a new labor deal. their more than five-leak-long strike extends. boeing will burn cash at roughly $1 million a month. tom, the contract was rejected by 64% of union workers.

what's happening? >> the union says it's not good enough. keep in mind, there's been years of animosity and anger between the union aimed directly at leadership at boeing, despite the fact that leadership has turned over. and the union says the latest offer simply wasn't good enough. take a listen to some of what we heard from union members overnight and this morning. >> there's some deep wounds that were driven out of takeaways and concessions, threats of job loss. there is no boeing production without our members. >> there's people there that are working two or three jobs. if you don't live with your parents or you don't have someone else that's supporting you, you're struggling. >> look at what boeing is offering. and a walk of why it wasn't good enough. boeing was offering 35% pay hike over four years. bonuses, as you can see. a ratification bonus. and incentive pay. and going on to say they will

increase the 401(k) contributions. that sounds pretty good. the union wanted a 40% pay hike, not 35%. and the union said, listen, we want our pensions back. they gave them up ten years ago under tough bargaining conditions. now, the union thinks they have the leverage because boeing can't move at all. its 737s, its 67s, its 77s are stuck. they're not rolling off the assembly line. and they are burning through $1 billion a month. they posted a $6 billion quarterly loss that got their stock down 40%. and they're talking about laying off 10% of the company. all of that after the 737 max crashes, the door plug blowout, the federal fraud felony they pleaded guilty to. this is a company in deep trouble. and the union thinks it has leverage. boeing needs the union members to get back to work for boeing to start producing planes again.
