i've been spending time. i got a lot of their leaked videos of their secret meetings. i've been watching these individuals. and it's like being in a fever dream. these thousands of activists are sharing all this manufactured evidence from groups like the heritage foundation and looking at voter rolls. they're plotting for ways to stop something that is not happening. so in the meantime, talking about the power of this narrative, actual voters are being purged from the rolls with this elusive group of noncitizens. the latino groups i spoke to are really afraid of the intimidation and possible threats. quickly, everyone, that will do it for me. i was you tomorrow at 1:00 p.m.

eastern. up next is tran for. ♪ ♪ 39 states of early voting in person and we are seeing big turnout in 35 million people have now voted. that comprises one out of five of the 2020 voting electric. 49 states have some kind of early voting going. i told you that, heads up. there is one thing holding steady. the race is tied in state that matter. there are many headlines today about the final "new york times" poll of the race, which shows a national tide, a dead heat in the final "new york times" poll of a tradition for campaigns and campaign junkies to discuss the poll, although you won't have much to discuss if you think it is just deadlocked. what does it mean? well it is a close race, as we

have reported for some time. this is not the kind a gap where these polls give you a lot to choose from. sometimes, polls basically show such big gaps they reflect something. take this time period in the reagan reelection, just as an example. we checked today. he was about 20 points away in several polls at this time in 1984. it did not reflect the landslide he won by 49 states. that is the opposite of the case right now. and tell you, reminding you, you already know, a battery opposed back shows such a close race that any swing within the margin of error could hand the victory to either candidate. so post back with big gaps tell you something but tied polls tell you very little. it does see a tie for democrats

and republicans see an early victory. tells you more about their mood and their usual tendencies than actual numbers. trump is doing the manhattan rally i mentioned, it is a blue state where, a lot more dems will vote early. harris will go to red states with beyonce, the first appearance for harris who previously went to beyonci's for and adopted her freedom song at rallies. in texas tens of thousands have already voted but it is a political coincidence many candidates are entering opposing turf right now. >> on sunday donald trump will hold a rally at madison square garden. [ laughter ] >> yeah, just what new yorkers need, more garbage around penn station. [ laughter ] >> so, what the hell is trump thinking about campaigning in new york? they told me i'm behind in wisconsin so i am rallying in madison. [ laughter ] square garden. [ laughter ] >> it works, no, it works. it works. >> that is how some of it is playing out on late night. the texas appearance also draws attention to what the harris

campaign sees is a winning issue for, how republicans in the state have conducted extreme abortion crackdowns. >> women have died because of these plans. including a young mother of a six-year-old son right here in georgia. her family is here with us tonight. we speak her name. amber nicole thurman. [ applause ] >> and you all have heard me say, look, i do believe donald trump to be an unserious man and the consequences of him ever being president again are brutally serious. harris having an issue for many voters top of mind, abortion, women's rights and what comes next. >> obama was at the rally and invoked his own credibility as commander-in-chief as the bombshell news rocking the

trump campaign. >> the other day, general john kelly, donald trump's former chief of staff said that trump told him he wanted his generals to be like hitler's generals. >> certainly the former president is in the far right area and certainly authoritarian and of myers people who are dictators. he has said that. he certainly falls into the general definition of a tray 14 -- fascist, for sure. >> don't think you want to do anything like hitler. now i happen to know john kelly and mark miller -- mark milley. they served under me when i was commander-in-chief.

these are serious people. >> i am trying to imagine a general the joint chiefs telling you a former president is a fascist and a danger to this country. that is inconceivable. >> and then he proved it. >> the reason we are speaking up is because they have seen that in donald trump's mind the military does not exist to serve the constitution. he thinks the military is there to do his bidding, to serve his interests. >> president obama on offense on those important issues last night. remember trump has owned all kinds of controversial claims on immigration or being a dictate on day one. his campaign sees the hitler story is too damaging to admit. donald trump and his aides are denying it, basically arguing kelly is some sort of

disgruntled liar. i will tell you there are times in campaigns or news where a story has two sources or sides, just debating it out. we can be kind of contested, but this is not that kind of story. we have an overwhelming public evidence that trump made these outrageous hitler dictatorial statements. we have his own plans and vows to abuse government power if he gets it. we have witnesses that backup kelly. 13 more, in fact, signing an open letter, backing up the general, joining the warnings. these are not random critics. these are not even just republicans. these are people trump picked who served and worked with kelly and stand on their record. they are not known for randomly lying were accusing people of fascism. the warnings, as trump makes his own bows as what he will do out of the authoritarian playbook. he know he was caught trying to overthrow the last election. october is a time where more people try to follow more

politics and news. we actually have data on that. what might sound familiar to news viewers, maybe even to you , is now being discussed and covered as potentially new news and more detail for those people. that is how it is supposed to work. that is why, probably i can tell you, reasonably, trump and his folks are denying this rather than admitting it because there are so worry people will find out about it. they learned there ain't no good closing argument in any american campaign, even on the right. this comes against the backdrop of the wider double standard you have noticed when it comes to trump and harris, reading from the "washington post", i can tell you political and media elites seem to have baked into this campaign that trump is allowed to talk and act like a complete lunatic jean robinson writes while harris has to be perfect in every way. ward take obama veteran van jones. a double standard where trump gets to be lawless and harris has to be flawless.

now popular radio host, you probably heard of this this campaign cycle, a similar point was raised with evidence. it is making the rounds this weekend it matters. he is arguing the double standard goes beyond conservative outlets like fox. he called out cnn on air over this in a discussion with anderson cooper in an exchange that raised important points and did so candidly. we will air a lot of that right now in context. >> he is showing us who he is every single day. spent, he is a fascist. that is crazy could you still have networks having that conversation. when somebody questions kamala harris and her blackness, di, y'all will have roundtable discussions about that, asking the question. how are you not having roundtable questions about donald trump being a fascist? you aren't even talking about that. journalists talking about the military turning it on american citizens. spank you think she needs to do more? >> apparently trump is going on and will take with him joe

rogan, do you think she should do that? >> i think she should keep calling donald trump a fascist. he wants to terminate the constitution and overthrow the election and nobody cares. you keep bringing it up now. you should bring it up with kamala harris and joe rogan. >> that rhetoric doesn't scare people? >> we took this out. we talk about this every night. speck i don't think i'll have enough conversations about it. i feel like it is more about his kamala harris black enough or is donald trump a fascist? >> i am sorry. just say we are sitting around and discussing if kamala harris is black, i mean does it >> for you to say that trump don't have those conversations, so last night they were talking about, you know, the double standard that exists between donald trump and the vice president but it is a double standard whether it is settlor -- hillary or biden and with kamala harris, you call him a threat to democracy but you don't treat him like one.

>> we need to treat threat seriously. when someone tells you they admire hitler for certain things and they want generals like ella, yes, america, we need to obsess and absorb that before we make a decision. there are conservatives who not only oppose trump but left the republican party after trump hijacked it. they warned this is a long way this is a long way from the party of reagan. to compare how reagan was conservative, described america to what donald trump is telling you what he thinks of you and america, just last night. >> i thought a bit of it, shining city upon a hill. in my mind, there was a tall, proud city, stronger than oceans, windswept, god blessed and teeming with people of all kinds come a living in harmony and peace. a city that hung with congress and creativity and, if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will

and the heart to get here. >> they are coming from 181 countries as of yesterday. we are a dumping ground. we are like a garbage can for the world. that is what has happened. that is what has happened. we are like a garbage can. >> are we like a garbage can? are our doors open to everyone? or do we think we are a garbage can? or do we think that we are being told things that are actually revealing? listen to what the candidates say, listen to what they think of you, our country, our rules, constitution and rule of law and listen to what they say they are going to do. a lot of the time, they mean it. as promised, we turn to a very big campaign figure right now. mark cuban is here on a harris

people are voting. it is all happening. we have seen artists and cultural leaders turnout, people with large followings. some business leaders are coming out for kamala harris, including mark cuban, who has been a vocal trump critic over the years. he has now been hitting the campaign trail explicitly for harris and sitting down with the vice president in wisconsin to talk about economics. >> i have known donald trump 25 years. used to be okay on trade policy. smack yeah. >> over the last couple years

he lost it. he doesn't pay attention to details. he can't be present in the united states -- >> a let you pay attention to details. >> it is fine if he wants to give random speeches in random places for random reasons but if he wants to talk about arabs, much less foreign policy, he is applying a machete when a scalpel is what is necessary. >> you been is not only a successful venture temperature nor an minority owner of the mavericks nba team, we should mention where everybody knows him from first, shark tank. he got more than 90 business leaders to sign an open letter endorsing harris and cut a wide swath through the political business debate. welcome. >> thanks for having me. >> great to have you. why would kamala harris be better for the economy? >> she is dynamic, she is not an ideologue, she understands business. she talked to anybody and everybody who has an idea. she listens. she wants to bring in the best people, i just think her policies are a lot stronger. she , i just think she is better across the board. >> let's look at the proposed policies. know that sounds old-fashioned. >> let's go. [ laughter ] >> at a high level, i've got

here some of what she says you will do, whether she can get it all done but we will put it on the screen. crackdown on price gouging, cut taxes for middle-class, expand obama aca and invest in affordable childcare which has water impacts in the markets in the labor market. trump says he will cut regulations. he tried to do that in the past. he would re-up the trump tax cuts. he has an american first tray policy, which is vague, energy and terrace, which we talked about. what is a better choice here? >> let's dig in deeper. cutting taxes for the middle class is more than just that. anybody making $400,000 or month -- less, your taxes will go up and for some people it will go down. 99% are what they call pass- through companies, and 99% of those people make $400,000.

for just about every single business in this country, as an entrepreneur or ceo your taxes don't go up and they probably go down. price gouging is what it is. that is a law in 37 states so she made it federal. just an opportunity. on the expanding of the affordable care act, she has been specific. she has talked about pharmacy benefit managers, pharmacy middlemen. she says she will take them on and the ftc already started that. these pharmacy middlemen set the price for medications and via transparency we have seen examples where the prices have dropped 20, 30, 40% no more. that is a direct impact on every household in the country. we talked about the 20% prices increased, this is the offset. people's the out-of-pocket expenditures if they have healthcare cost of all to go down. >> that is a case, you just ripped through it. who else has it memorized? you are a good communicator. i am listening to you, boom, boom, boom. some of that is not absorbed by the public. i wanted to ask you about that.

you said at the intersection you would really do it but you are known as a communicator. you are not just sitting here looking at a spreadsheet. you connect with people. you are a good messenger on what they have on these issues. if you look at gallup, the majority of people say they are worse off than four years ago. if you counted that, 60%, bad news for the incumbent biden- harris administration. as you know, in general, more people think trump is better on the economy than harris. i will play you a clip and what you would say back to someone based on what we are hearing. here is your clip. >> you think you can help people like you? >> i think he will help the entire economy. >> why are you voting trump? >> i want the economy to be good. >> he is everything she is not. a good paying economy, good for values, good to get the country back to where it should be. >> the economy was better. bank accounts were better.

prices were better. >> so i would ask them what they bought their kids for christmas last year and then go through the list to show them how many of them were made in china, most of it is. then i show them trump's terrace with him going up 60%. you have to make choices. if you are donald trump and he implements chinese terrace, do you want to tell your kids they can't have as much of a christmas? not only that, what about the local retailer? the gift shop, the dress store, the sporting goods store? they will be out of luck, too. you are buying less. you will put them out of business. do you really want to vote for trump that killed christmas? you know, you are getting into details. when you talk to people they did not connect the two, they did not connect terrace to christmas and increasing costs and the impact that is having

on their family which is far more draconian than anything that has happened. >> do you think there is a political business nostalgia from four years ago. they don't remember what it was like. >> we live in a mean world. the algorithm reinforces that. donald trump says it was better, it was better, it was better and then it is hard not to have that reinforced, which is why i am out there. i am the person supposed to get out there and say this is the fax and here is why it will hurt you. >> what if they want to live in a mean world? >> you know. let me send you something. keep on rocking in the free world. >> keep on rocking in the mean world. we don't have any choice. social media isn't going anywhere. algorithms aren't going anywhere. there is nothing we can do about that. mr. beast, i sat and talked to him and he talked about algorithms and that is the thing i know i am talking to the campaign they are looking at and try to do, as well.

in order to offset that, i think it will happen. >> i will give you some mr. beast trivia on youtube. he says he has recorded videos that he thinks would go super viral that he has put aside for after his death, whenever it comes, so that his children and heirs can benefit from that post death. that is a little dark. >> i gas. a business strategy. >> i don't know. >> you would not go that far. that is too far for you? >> that is like business. >> i don't think so. you don't know what will be viral and how many years. that is a longtime. >> respect. you are always thinking ahead to the next thing. you are a harris person, what you see when you are campaigning and doing stuff for her? >> it will be turn out. when i go to rallies, the response, the energy is phenomenal. people love her. when i do my own little business roundtables and i go through all the issues that are

impacting business, the thing that is hot right now is deportation. particularly for businesses. we talk a lot about immigration and we are on the same page, trump and harris are on the same page for immigration. they are criminal, we want them out. we don't talk about what we will do about deportation. donald trump once mass deportation. they are talking about stops on the road to check your papers and knocking on doors to check your papers. that? is business., harris said do pace -- to process. >> thanks for joining us. appreciate it. appreciate it. with your $19 monthly gift. and we'll send you this "care. no matter what" t-shirt. it is your right to have safe health care. that's it. go online, call, or scan right now.

what if your mobile network that's it. wasn't just built to work out here... ...but was designed differently to also give you blazing fast wifi where you are most of the time? reliable 5g, plus wifi speeds up to a gig where you need it most.

xfinity mobile. now xfinity internet customers can buy one line of unlimited and get one free for a year. it's our son, he is always up in our business. it's the verizon 5g home internet i got us. oh... he used to be a competitive gamer but with the higher lag, he can't keep up with his squad. so now we're his “squad”. what are kevin's plans for the fall? he's going to college. out of state, yeah. -yeah in the fall. change of plans, i've decided to stay local. oh excellent! oh that's great! why would i ever leave this? -aw! we will do anything to get him gaming again. you and kevin need to fix this internet situation. heard my name! i swear to god, kevin! -we told you to wait in the car. everyone in my old squad has xfinity. less lag, better gaming! i'm gonna need to charge you for three people. my life is full of questions... how do i clean an aioli stain? use tide.

do i need to pretreat guacamole? not with tide. why do we even buy napkins? thankfully, tide's the answer to almost all of them. —do crabs have eyebrows? —except that one. for all of life's laundry questions... it's got to be tide. ♪♪ i am very much grounded in the present [ laughter ] in terms of the task at hand. we will deal with election night and the days after as they come. we have the resources, the expertise and the focus on that, as well. >> your team is ready go, is that what you are thinking as a possibility? >> of course.

this is a person, donald trump, who tried to undermine the free and fair election and still denies the will of the people, who incited a violent mob to attack the united states capitol and 140 law enforcement officers were attacked and some of them were killed. this is a serious manner. the american people are, at this point, two weeks out, being presented with a very, very serious decision. about what will be the future of our country. >> a stark warning there from kamala harris, also says she is ready in those newsworthy comments to nbc news' hallie jackson. not only that threat that she has shown daily but mixing that with the third-party validation or credibility check for

boaters who are not already with her or still figuring out where they land in the final two weeks. she continues to doubt growing support of republicans. the chain, other gop lawmakers and trump that's that spoke at the dnc, over 100 republican national security officials to endorse harris. those are important policy figures that speaking together will make a point but many undecided voters may not know them by name. there are also well-known people who once called trump a friend . ridin geraldo barrera made big headlines in endorsing harris over trump. his statement on the matter began, sore loser. he said as president he was a loyal friend and resulting coverage gave him the benefit of most outs but notably, after losing, in 2020, trump ran an increasingly menacing campaign with no meaningful proof. we have seen him go farther than some people do, given the environment we are in right now. i need to read this to you can clearly hear it before we bring them into night. he says to magna fans, if you

are republican, trump made a liar out of you. he release violence on democracy, he is a sore loser who cannot be trusted to honor the constitution. that is why i am voting for kamala harris. it was a newsworthy statement i made a lot of headlines. the legendary tv journalist and news man geraldo rivera, you won a peabody, i have you on the screen, many decades in many contexts but your first time here and i thank you for joining us tonight. >> you see all those different hairdos. [ laughter ] thank you, ari, i am delighted to be here tonight. i am so honored. thank you for asking me. >> thanks for being here. what you say matters and what you say and how you say it, too. tell me why you went beyond the usual here is my ticked box to address people you say trump

made a liar out of. >> well, i have been against the president, the former president since shortly after the election where it became clear to me that he was, he was drinking some kind of kool-aid. he was being very selfish. he was refusing to acknowledge the will of the american people. i thought it was a passing thing but it wasn't. and then january 6 happened and right before my very eyes there he was after having an incited, he incited all those people to put their lives on the line and risk so much from the point of view of the country and the officers who were there and so forth. he just unleashed this frenzy. i thought that it was so anti- constitutional, so selfish, so counter factual that i just had

to speak up. on january 7, i called for his impeachment. that was our estrangement. i thought i could ride out this kind of cycle. i don't do a lot of politics. i do various capacities. you know, to see him, you know, being competitive in every single race, if not leading, i began to worry a few weeks ago that this guy could actually defy all the odds and all the indictments and the conventions and, you know, the hundreds of millions of dollars in civil penalties and all the rest of it and win and become president of the united states again. i thought i had to speak out. i am glad i did. you know, there are, you know, you can always worry about people coming after you as a result of, you know, people trying to hurt you for whatever it is you do, whatever it is, the point is i had to speak out, i had to let people know that i was once his friend for many years. >> yep. >> but he ignored the

constitution and turned his back on it so it was the end. >> what you are speaking to is a pattern. people who have been able to work with him, you say frank of others would say ally, depending on the political context and then they reached their breaking point. you say very clearly tonight here on the national live news yet you don't trust he would honor the constitution, which is not coming from a place of criticism or reflexive anti- trump bias. quite the opposite. it is coming from you knowing him. i want to draw you out on that point. we have a great team of producers here, you have been on tv a long time. we pull together some of your history. i want to show that from the context that donald trump lived on pr and television for many decades. so did you and many others. it is a strange time in the

politics of media. let's go through memory lane and on the other side you can tell me how you reached your constitutional judgment. here is geraldo over the years. >> i am geraldo rivera on live television. >> looked me straight away in the eye. do i look like i am guilty about anything? >> you look more guilty than i have ever looked in my life. >> really? >> a concrete vault belongs to the notorious al capone. tonight, for the first time, the vault will be opened live. >> i am geraldo rivera. we will be talking about what most of you have been discussing your homes and around water coolers in your offices. we began with the controversial good samaritan trial and what about the defendants, the so- called new york four, how are they holding up? >> well-known and most controversial people in the

world is in the fight of his life. >> i am doing fine, geraldo, how are you? >> it down! >> this is a typical example of the difficulties that the rebel forces face. >> you have seen a lot. that is a tiny sample of what you learned in your life in tv and media. and why you came to that conclusion about trump. >> ari, it was easy for me . he stabbed the constitution in the back. i really think the most important person in this country , for that cycle of the election, was the vice president, mike pence. he was so courageous. he stood his ground against trump's bizarre request that he take a symbolic role in the electoral, in certifying the electoral vote and stopping the

certifying of the election. he really tried to put himself above the constitution. it was such a staggering, such a profound move, so damaging, so unprecedented, so extraordinary, it was very much like maduro in venezuela. he wanted the american people to ignore their casting of the ballot in the significant margins by which he had lost the election and just, out of sheer loyalty to him, ignored the two and half centuries of the united states' existence. it was something i could not abide. yes, he has always been very nice to me and my family. he has been a good friend and hang out buddy and all the rest of it. that only made it worse, ari. for me to take that step, for me to really get up off the couch and say, this cannot abide, this has to end right here, what is shocking to me, as i mentioned at the very top of the program, despite all of that, he could still be the

47th president. >> coming up next, we will discuss with another expert how you deal with the stress and the intensity of this time. whether it is this new cycle or other new cycles in the election coming up. tion coming and improves fine lines and puffiness. try olay super eyes serum.

everyone, i am alex witt at msnbc world headquarters. we will take you to kalamazoo, michigan, where former first lady michelle obama, there with microphone in hand, speaking at her first joint rally with kamala harris at the wings event center, an arena that opened in 1974. this is the overflow crowd ahead of the scheduled crowd.

the beginning of the event is at 5:00 p.m. but let's listen in. >> we can't take anything for granted. we need you this fired up for the next 10 days so we can get this done. so we can sleep at night. [ applause ] >> so, with that, i'm going to turn it over to my dear friend, the vice president of the united states, kamala harris. [ applause ] >> high, everybody! can we hear it for michelle obama? >> um thank you all. michigan, michigan, [ laughter ] all right. we've got 10 days to go.

the thing i love about every will body here is we love hard work. hard work is good work. we are going to win. we are going to win. it's going to be closed. we know that. we know the stakes. we are so here together because we love our country. we are prepared to fight for the best of who we are. many of you heard me talk about this. we are not fighting against something, we are fighting for something. [ applause ] >> and through the campaign, our campaign, yes, we will win. that is the highest and achievable goal. we will win. and, in the process over the next 10 days, we are also doing the work of building community. building coalitions. reminding folks we are in this together. lifting each other up.

reminding ourselves and each other we have so much more in common out what separates us. that is what the campaign is about. it is a people powered campaign. [ applause ] >> because it is a people powered campaign we will win. because we know what we stand for. we know what to fight for. [ applause ] >> and when we fight we win. god bless you, see you soon. [ applause ] >> again, everybody, look at all the enthusiasm. that is just the overflow crowd. they didn't expect to see the

former first lady vice president to gather at this particular event. they have been waiting in kalamazoo, michigan. it is a get out the vote event. when we fight, we win, ureters say that, the entire event is called when we vote, we win. let's turn you over to "the beat: weekend" for a few minutes. when they take the stage at the official event we will take you there, as well, so stay here on msnbc. coming up, the post note you can survive an election with various strategies. of course, you are watching the news right now. you are hearing the sound of my voice if you're hearing this broadcast and you know it is not election day, not even election day, it is election month as boating activity in many places and many months when you think about all the political turmoil we have lived through. comics have their own stress

relief of dealing with this. >> he had a great time at mcdonald's. for 20 minutes trump actually ran a successful business. >> he is not the common man. this is blue-collar drag. but with more makeup. >> former president trump discussed golf legend arnold palmer and said he was, quote, all man. technically, he was half man, half iced tea. >> on the daily show where jon stewart appeared special for this and let you will -- unusual election, he is discussing something that stresses people out beyond the usual politics. we are presented with more lies and propaganda which you hear from certain politicians and people in your life so you are suffused with right-wing denial is in which demands people live inside their republican lies. >> for my own [ bleep ] sanity, can i get one republican to at least acknowledge that trump said the thing that he has repeatedly saying?

>> trump speaks in hyperbole. this is nothing new. he is not talking about attacking the military and using them to attack people who disagree with him militarily. >> he is literally saying that. he is literally saying that. he is literally saying that. what are you talking about? >> i feel you. i could weigh this around all the time and maybe i would but we are supposed to keep it together. the comic version of the news can maybe say what you are really feeling but this is something we want to get into tonight because it matters and we are living through it. it is part of the way we live now politically. being honest, as you may know from truth in life and in journalism and in your own interpersonal dealings and relationships, usually that is a good place to start rather than just pretending everything is okay. america, it is okay to not be okay. we even found a moment that hasn't gotten as much attention where vice president harris kind of pretty explained how this field, discussing how it

feels in which he is doing about it in a more serious way. this is in one of her interviews. >> you sleep? >> you know, i wake up in the middle of the night usually these days, to be honest with you but i work out every morning. i will speak to what people are feeling. you -- we cannot despair. let's not let this all make us feel like we have been defeated. that is not our character as american people. we are not one to be defeated. >> a really striking way to put it, acknowledging it can be overwhelming, down to the personal level of how you feel, think, sleep, whether you feel at piece -- peace when you go

to bed and conditions that affect you but also dealing with that directly from taking care of yourself, if you can, being healthy, if you can, to the mentality we use. what we think, what we decide to think, has a huge impact on how we feel and how we live together. that is why on this very topic, mixing some of what the vice president and comics just said, we are bringing on a special guest tonight, deepak chopra on being strong in this moment next. ment next. can take 1 prilosec. for easier heartburn relief, one beats ten. prilosec otc. one pill. 24 hours. zero heartburn.

i literally lose sleep and have been over what is at stake in this election. honestly, i end the day pretty much every day these days asking myself what can i do more? >> harris sharing at a personal level which he thinks about every day and losing sleep given the stakes of this race. for something a little different, we are welcoming now tonight on the election and the

anxiety and feelings people have, deepak chopra. his new book is digital dharma, how a.i. can elevate personal intelligence and personal well- being. good to have you. >> good to be with you. we walked through these external events which in many ways are intense and unusual, by making people feel anxiety. giving your area of expertise, what you say to them? >> i have a simple technique i have been using for a long time. it is called the stop formula. stop, take three deep breaths and smile and feel your body and then observe with awareness what is going on. all right, everyone. we will take you back to michigan, kalamazoo.

that is where former first lady michelle obama has just taken this stage, her first appearance, joint rally with kamala harris and the get out the vote rally. let's take a listen to the main stage in kalamazoo, michigan. [ applause ] >> all right. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> all right. okay, you guys. you guys, you guys will be here for a little bit. we want to give this, get this show on the road for those folks standing in the mosh pit. hang on there. i love you. let me start by saying hello, kalamazoo! [ applause ] or should i say

kamala-zoo? who is ready to elect the next president of the united states, kamala harris? [ applause ] >> but let me start, of course, by thanking callie for everything she has done to get out the vote here in michigan. but most of all, i want to thank all of you. you look amazing! i bow down. doesn't it feel good to be together? it has been such a long time. it feels good to see how strong , how hopeful, how energized, how organize we all are. [ applause ] and we need that.

we need all of you because right now, as you know, this race is closed. too close for my liking. i came out here to michigan. i am someone who takes her own advice to heart. i know if we want to help this country finally turn the page on the politics of hatred and division, we can't just sit around and complain. you know, we got to do this. we got to usher in the next generation. we got to do something. we want to let someone with a character worthy of the oval office, someone with the strength and heart to guide the country. we got to what? >> elect kamala harris!

>> that someone is my dear friend, kamala harris. [ applause ] michigan, i am so hopeful about the energy and poise enjoy that kamala harris has injected into this race. if you note kamala, that is no surprise. no one could have predicted the way everything unfolded this summer. yet, in a critical moment when the country needed her, kamala could not have been more prepared to meet that moment and has met it every single day since. [ applause ] >> she is doing this in a way we haven't seen for years. she is building a remarkable campaign in record time, dominating her opponent so thoroughly in the debate he was too scared to face her again.

[ laughter ] kamala, she is putting herself out there fearlessly, facing down harshest critics. she is seeking out republicans to find common ground . unlike her opponent, she ain't duck in interviews are cowering in safe spaces only with fawning audiences, no. she is showing us where the stain -- saying, stable leader is and what she looks like. [ applause ] she is not losing her train of thought or stumbling over words. she does it all with vigor. [ applause ] [ laughter ] lord knows, we need a grown-up be in

up in the white house, someone with the maturity and fresh ideas. kamala is the only candidate, the only candidate in the race outlining a clear set of policies, including focusing on lowering costs and reducing drug costs. first, as a prosecutor, as

attorney general and a u.s. senator and now as vice president of the united states. taking on big banks, transnational gangs and predatory for-profit colleges and always, always doing it holding her head high with warmth, dignity so michigan, do not buy middle class family raised mostly by her mom like so many of us. leaning on her neighbors like we all do. that's wewhat you want in a president. someone who gets you and will have your back. take it from me. and i know good people! kamala harris is an extraordinary human being.
