5:02 am
we are just 10 days away from election day, folks. already across the country, more than 36 million americans have cast a ballot today in person. early voting start statewide in michigan today. that is what former first lady michelle obama will join vice president kamala harris for get out the vote rally in kalamazoo. last night beyonci brought megawatt star power in her hometown of houston, where harris focused on reproductive rights. >> i am not here as a celebrity. i am not here as a politician. i am here as a mother. [ applause ] >> a mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in. a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies. >> texas, what is happening across the state and our country is a healthcare crisis. and donald trump is the architect of it. he brags about overturning roe v wade and in his own words, quote, i did it and i am proud to have done it. >> 20 me now is the cochair for the harris-walz campaign. >> good morning, lieutenant governor. how are you doing?
5:03 am
>> you never know which one you are going to get. >> it was between us and two lieutenant governors, it's all good. >> this campaign, this harris- walz campaign has done a phenomenal job in sort of setting up its closing argument, which we will see play out on the ellipse next week. the event in texas focused around, of course, the reproductive rights of women, but more broadly, the healthcare of women, setting up a companion argument that donald trump isn't a direct threat to them. talk a little bit about how that message is resonating in a state like texas. i mean, the fact that, the campaigns in texas, [ applause ] brother, you know?
5:04 am
it is such a good move to make to make the case. >> well thank you. first of all, it is great to see all of you, thank you. secondly, i don't want to skate over something that should be so obvious that we missed. last night we saw beyonci, i love me some beyonci, a woman of incredible power, who was at the top of her game in her field standing next to kamala harris, another one, who is incredible and at the top of her field talking to america about a new way forward and as beyonci said, time to write a new song. i think the frame of that is critically important. as we move forward into next weekend the vice president makes her closing argument, you think about three very basic things. are we going to go forward or are we going to go backwards? donald trump will take us back. he doesn't want to go back to
5:05 am
1850, he does not want to go back that but to 17 98. vice president harris has to show the world what her god- given gifts are. donald trump is not fit for the presidency. all the people that have worked with him have said so and he is a threat to democracy and will use his be -- power to hurt people, not help people. as proof of that, the second part of the argument, let me show you the freedom he already took away from you, one of which is women's right to talk about the reproductive health and women's health, by the way. remember, he tried to come under the affordable care act, he tried to take the needle way for people to be protected when they have pre-existing conditions. he did not make it easy to get to the hospital and because you don't get early detection, you
5:06 am
died. now he is trying to have both sides and act like he did but we know what the truth is, he is the reason roe versus wade got reversed. he put those supreme court justices on the court. they went to congress and told them they would help the president and then they didn't. then they reversed roe versus wade and women have died all over the country. texas is the belly of the beast. texas is a prime example of what states do when you give them the freedom to take away women's rights. the third argument, if you give me power, says kamala harris, i will use my power to help people and create an economic opportunity and lift you up, put more money in your pocket book and make sure you have lower cost in your life. as a consequence of all those things, the world will be a better place if you choose kamala harris into walls rather than donald trump. when will take us forward, the other will take us back. everyone knows what the score is in america, we know what time it is. >> lieutenant governor, you referenced a soundbite from beyonci talking about time for new song. let's play it for the audience. >> we must vote. we need you. it's time to sing a new song. [ applause ] >> a song that began 248 years ago. the old notes of downfall, to score -- discord, despair no longer resonate. our generations of loved ones
5:07 am
before us are whispering, a quest, i'll calling, an anthem. our moment right now, it's time for america to sing a new song. >> beyonci is not the only big- name we heard from in houston. we also heard from really drawing a distinction. listen to what colin all right had to say. >> i believe the exact opposite of ted cruz. [ applause ] i never forgot where i came from. i never forgot the folks who gave me a chance. i have been the most bipartisan texan in congress because that is how you get things done. >> talk to me about the role you see in these down ballot
5:08 am
races and how they play into the top of the ticket? >> first of all, as colin said, he will be ted cruz in texas, in the belly of the beast. they need to make a choice to go forward. the most incredible thing about the united states of america and democracy come at these moments, people of the united states of america have a choice to make, it is a critical choice, and the choice really matters. you can either go forward or you can go back. you can continue to be part of the american story of constantly getting better and we believe you get better when you include more people. we believe that diversity is a strength and unity is our
5:09 am
superpower. everyone who has a different way of life comes in and puts everything in the same pot. you know i am from louisiana, it is better for everybody. that is not what they believe. donald trump leaves if you give him power, he said this, i alone can do it. there is no eye alone in we the people. that is a very important thing to learn from what his view of the world is. if you give him power, he will use it for himself. he will use it for his rich friends and then, because you gave him power, you put a bat in his hands, he will hit you in the head with it if you don't agree with everything. that is not democracy as we know it. that is not the values and the virtues that created the america and created the greatest nation in the world. kamala harris offers us a new way forward and says to us, if you continue to kind of honor the values we have had since the beginning of our time, we actually have a wonderful future. if we go backwards, we know what that has been like, we know how dark that is, how painful that is and we are not going back. >> mr. mayor, just a couple things, okay? you know? >> yes, symone. >> the vice president was asked in a town hall earlier this
5:10 am
week by anderson cooper on cnn if she thought donald trump was a fascist after general don kelly, chief of staff for donald trump in his administration, described to the "new york times" the definition of fascist and said donald trump is the very definition. vice president , there was this joint statement saying she is fanning the flames and she is the one using the dangerous rhetoric. you couple that with democrats from axioms to any other publication you can find, they are concerned because the campaign is not doing what they're supposed to be doing and they feel like she is losing. what is the campaign's message or response, if you will, to speaker johnson and mitch mcconnell and what you think about these democrats who have a lot of thoughts but haven't been to a battleground state? >> first of all, couple things. first of all, we're gonna win. we are gonna win because we have a better vision for the future and it is better for america. number two, quit the hangman --
5:11 am
handwringing. get out there and knock on doors. instead of being worried, go out and vote. that is the second thing. the third thing is, let's talk about fascism. when someone is determined to be a fascist, that is not just calling somebody a dirty word when you do on the street when you are playing pick up all and you catch an elbow. a fascist has a view of the world that says i will seize power from you and use that power to hurt you and use that power to limit peoples rights and responsibilities and the opportunities that they have in their life and the fascists in the world, hitler, stalin, those are the guys that cause the greatest amount of devastation and damage in the world. when somebody, when they fit the
5:12 am
definition of a fascist, the people of america should worry about that, the exact opposite of what democracy is supposed to be about. kamala harris was not the first person to call donald trump a fascist. people have called donald trump a fascist are the people donald trump himself hired to run the government with him, his chief of staff, who, by the way, is a person who spends the most time with the president in the oval office, the person donald trump hired, four star general who lost his son in war and actually was able to observe him. the other guy who called him a fascist was the top military man in the united states of america who donald trump also chose. the third person was the secretary of defense who donald trump, now the top people in the country whose job it is to protect us are warning us. i want the people of america to think about this. if you are hiring somebody to work with you or you are trying to find a partner for your business and you checked out their references and their three best friends said, you know what, you might want to think about going in a different direction because i know things about that person that if i told you it would scare you to death, you might want to pay attention to that. the third point i want to make is this, donald trump himself has used more incendiary language out of his very mouth
5:13 am
combined than anybody that's ever spoken and has call people marxists, communists, fascists and had no evidence for that at all. the vice president was only responding to what other people said. she answered the question in a clear, direct and forceful way. that is why she is going to be a good commander in chief. as far as mike johnson and mitch mcconnell are concerned, they have really just kind of forgotten their way on this issue and neglected to stand up when they should have and use their power to save this country from the danger that donald trump is posing to us. both of them no better. shame on them. >> i think mitch mcconnell knows better. mike johnson, i don't know. mitch landrieu, we appreciate you. thank you so much because my peace, out. next, the israeli military says it has completed retaliatory strikes on targets in iran. we will get a live report from tel aviv. later, billionaire entrepreneur mark cuban will join us from the trail as he campaigns for vice president

an all-out regional war. iran is saying that two of its soldiers were killed and said israel targeted military bases in three different provinces, including tehran but said its air defenses largely held up and the damages limited. the united states was given a heads up by israel before this attack began but did not participate in the operation. that is according to a senior administration official. president biden had been urging israel for weeks to carry out an attack that was proportionate, that limited any harm to civilians. this u.s. official is saying this should be the end of the fighting. neither side should escalate further at this point. ultimately, michael, it will be in the hands of iran's supreme leader to decide whether or not his country will retaliate

about that so they can make a decision. >> just 10 days out from election day, vice president harris is sharpening the message that donald trump is a threat to democracy. this week she echoed the start warning from trump's former chief of staff, john kelly, who said trump fit the definition of fascist and kelly said he referenced hitler multiple times while in office. trump denied the claims. in during a three-hour interview with joe rogan, trump made the wild accusation that harris is more dangerous than foreign adversaries. take a listen. >> she is not a smart person. these guys are very smart and very streetwise and very tricky and evil and dangerous. and if she becomes the president of the united states, which i can't believe could happen, i don't think this country will make it. i don't think we will ever be, i think bad, just really bad things will happen to our country. >> joining us now to discuss is

5:28 am
hall in the way she actually said, he is a fascist, saying what she thinks, being authentic, just putting it out there. you know, the trump campaign, i think it had impact. they got up an ad immediately of the holocaust survivor. you know republicans, you know they are on top of it and did not waste any time getting that out. >> they did not want that to go any further than it did but the reality of it is, it does not matter what kind of ad they put up. his own people are telling us this. this is a description of him by people who have been in rooms with him. this is not democrats wanting to make stuff up. it is not the harris campaign sort of digging to find the definition of a far right authoritarian nist, nationalist, political ideology characterized by a political dictatorial leader. that is it. when you fit the definition you've got to call the thing what it is, right? in my missing something from grade school? >> john kelly has to explain to trump, no, you don't want generals like hitler. they killed millions of innocent people by sending them to the gas chambers. jesus christ, why are we having this conversation? >> hitler tried to kill them. i don't think so. smack i don't think that happened. >> you have beyonce, her spokesperson for everyone, the specific demographic, there is

5:30 am
, georgia, which is totally trump and a white woman stood up and said, basically, why are you trying to take away our right to healthcare? that was not some radical liberal. that was a woman who is a revival trump voter. this had impact. there is not a silent trump voter anymore. they are not ashamed anymore. i think there could be some silent women. >> especially married women. they are sort of saying i may vote for kamala harris and may not tell my husband i am doing that. >> my mom in 1992 would not tell my mom -- dad who she voted for. she voted for ross perot and that is another story but that will still happen. there is even, i have heard there are campaigns of women saying in wisconsin, you don't have to tell your husband. we can be your secret, just go
5:31 am
around him and vote your conscience. i think it is so fundamental, women's healthcare. women are being denied basic healthcare. last night at that rally what we saw, it was electrifying, it was soul shattering to listen to mothers talk about their struggles. and the beyonce really brought it all home >> you know, the three of you really bring up an essential element of this conversation and this closing conversation that is very much underappreciated by republicans. we have seen the narrative play out in kansas, in ohio and in a number of places where abortion has been on the ballot. for example, the response by women, especially republican women, has not aligned with the narrative the men are pushing out. i think it is a sleeper to your point, elise, going into this election and then the next 10 days or so. >> play e 3 of andrea telling

5:33 am
you can't help but become angry. what are we living in 2024 and denying medical care that has been given since the turn of the century? it's insane. we aren't going to stop maternity. it's just -- women have the right to be upset and they are. i think it is not may be the top, top issue, but it is so far up there, everything else, you know, i do think there is a good chance that it is going to drive a lot of women. >> democracy was a sleeper in the 2022 cycle that gave into that red wave. this issue is going to be the sleeper, like you said, it may not be number one, but it is high enough and a high enough priority for women they will vote for treat -- harris. >> thank you. >> good to have you. next, folks, mark cuban is

5:38 am
for the middle class. as for donald trump, economists say his policies will hurt hard- working families. harris made that case in a conversation with mark cuban earlier this week. i have known donald trump 25 years. he used to be okay but over the last 25 years he has just lost it. i don't think he pays attention to the details. you can't beat president of the united states -- >>, to pay attention to the details. >> it's fine if he wants to send people to random places for random reasons but to talk about policies like terrace, much less foreign policy, he is quite the machete, what a scalpel is necessary. >> millionaire -- billionaire entrepreneur mark cuban joins us now, founder of the public benefit corporation. >> good to see you again. it has been a while. >> welcome to the table, my friend. appreciate you being here. to continue on with the conversation with the vice president, in an open letter this week on wednesday, 23 nobel prize-winning economists noticed this and said trump's
5:39 am
policies, including high tariffs, even on goods from our friends and allies in an regressive tax cuts for corporations and individuals will lead to higher prices, larger deficits and greater inequality. paul among the most important determinants of economic success are the rule of law and economic and political certainty and trump threatens all of these. that is part of the detail. that goes into being president and understanding the connective tissue between a policy and an outcome. talk to us about what you are finding because americans out there, i have heard you speaking rather eloquently on this point. americans still feel a little bit of drag in the economy. in pockets and sectors it has not quite caught up. what do you think the closing argument should be they need to hear from kamala about that
5:40 am
part of their narrative? >> a couple things. one, yeah, not everybody experiences the economy equally. a lot of people are doing really well right now. we see that in the numbers but some people are still struggling. from the vice president's perspective, you have to look at the details. i will simplify what they said about taxes. if trump gets elected and puts a 60% of tariffs for chinese goods, it will screw up your christmas. there's a huge percentage of christmas presents we all buy that are imported from china. now, all of a sudden, they are 60% more, you're not buying the same quality of gifts for your children, your friends, your family etc., but it gets worse. what about all the retailers you spend at the local dress shop, the local sporting goods store, etc. they will struggle and when they do communities will struggle. number two, and a big part of the her closing argument is how she is dealing with the cost of healthcare. when people ask, prices went up
5:41 am
20% but how do you offset that? vice president harris talked about pharmacy benefit managers and the pharmacy middleman and getting them out of the way and reducing their impact because effectively they set prices. on top of that, she is talking about introducing transparency. from my experiences, in doing those two things, hospitals will experience a 20%, 30% pharmaceutical cost more and more in healthcare costs. those are two big things. the third big issue from a business perspective, a little different from what we were talking about but still important, deportation. we have mass deportations, the only thing it did there is walking up to the manager of a restaurant and asking for their i frame 9, the form you fill out to determine the immigration
5:42 am
status of employees, asking for a list of employees, wanting to know their social security numbers, phone numbers and where they live and going to their homes and knocking on their door and walking into the house to see who was there. we are setting up checkpoints and seeing who is legal and who is not and that is not the united states of america but that is what we are looking at. we can talk about the social impacts but from a business impact, it is far worse than what the professors said. >> people want to walk into a restaurant, if you ask any restaurant owner across the country, which a minority of them are small business owners, they will say they are struggling right now to even find people to work all the ships, okay, across the country, so the hospitality industry is also affected. >> so you could take it one step further. when you have over 1 million businesses in this country, 99% of them marsh small. many of them are what they call a pass-through company, sub chester -- subchapter s and 99% of the people who own them make $400,000 or less.
5:43 am
for almost every single business in this country, if you make $400,000 or less, your taxes will either be the same or for 100 million plus people your taxes will go down. kamala harris is far better for business and that is the message i am sending around the country. >> i appreciate the context of this. you hear he will not really do that, he is a businessman, he understands how this works but believe him when he says he will support all these folks. we have other big news at the end of the week, the "washington post" choosing not to endorse. the drafted endorsement had yet to be published, two sources briefed on the sequence of events that the decision not to publish the harris endorsement was made by billionaire amazon founder jeff bezos. i have to know, nbc news has not independently verified that
5:44 am
account. thoughts? >> this paper business is a tough business. you saw that with l.a. times, one of the wealthiest men in the world, jeff bezos, they are putting finances ahead of discipline and history and it is unfortunate but i don't think it is the end of it. i think we will see more and more of it. >> mark, i read this as, even, i think the jeff bezos and i would also argue owners of the l.a. times they are not endorsing the decision to weigh in because they don't want to say something, it's more about the potential retribution that could come if donald trump wins this election. to me, that says these are very
5:45 am
powerful people that are concerned about donald trump's retribution and they are willing to stand up to him and take the chance to stand up to him for what he would do, what does it mean for regular folks across the country? how can we expect people who don't have the means to be willing to do so, it is chilling for that reason. >> yeah, you are not wrong, symone. it is terrifying. he talks about it. this is what he says. this is what he has to say. there is a reason he is saying it over and over and over again. he talks about the enemy within and is naming names of examples of people he thinks our enemies. it is not a question of if, it is a question of how. that is all the more reason to get kamala harris in office. >> on that no, mark, as a continuing example of symone's point of the chilling effect donald trump is having, not just on the nation's politics but on business and business leaders, you have the "new york times" headlines from tuesday noting jamie diamond privately supports kamala harris but won't say so. the headline again, bill gates privately says he has backed harris with a $50 million donation. what does that say to you? i mean, you have always been, and i have been a big admirer of yours for a long time. you are a guy who calls the balls and strikes. you out on the front lines, not hiding in the corner, sartre
5:46 am
-- sort of not showing people, talk about why this time in our history, particularly given the threat that up sensibly everyone sees in front of them, more and more individuals in positions of power and leadership shirk from that opportunity to draw that bright line and say this is who we are, this far and no further. if you are going to make a $50 million donation, why not? >> why not speak out? >> she is good for our economy and she will not lock anybody up. >> you guys talked a little bit earlier about the formerly shy trump supporters but you didn't really hear from them and what you did not hear from them is
5:47 am
they say they feel comfortable to speak up about joe biden or whoever, right? now the trump supporters have been emboldened by elon musk on twitter. everybody has something to say if you are a trump supporter. if you go want to twitter, they will torch you if you say anything positive. because twitter is a foundational source of information for media, i think that creates fear for the people like jamie diamond and bill gates because there will be millions of people on twitter. i see it every day. when i say anything positive, i don't hide it, did just part of the deal, but for people who have ongoing businesses and all of a sudden the trolls on twitter, one who knows how many, are tearing apart your company and you personally. that is a lot and far more difficult for a lot of people to deal with that.
5:48 am
