ready to feel. our production plays with two hours without intermission because the events are so rapid, in human situations from the beginning of the, it unravels decisions made in the heat of the moment which is very much to do with people feeling, not necessarily considering, not necessarily reflecting, not necessarily taking time for pause. i would say my experience is that audiences are ready to experience and prefer to experience rather than to sort of listen to a lecture. >> i love this. >> the audiences here want succession. >> there's that, but i, as a person who participated in the williams town theater festival, i'm aware of your career in shakespeare. i said, kenneth branagh is on the show tomorrow and a young person nearby said to me he's in -- is it "the hobbit"?

>> "lord of the rings." >> "harry potter." academy award winning actor and director, kenneth branagh, thank you very much. that does it for us this morning. ana cabrera picks up the coverage now. right now on "ana cabrera reports," one week to go. donald trump to address the press in minutes from mar-a-lago as the fallout over racist remarks at the rally causes upheaval for his campaign. plus, kamala harris set to give her closing argument tonight. her message from the same spot where trump spoke on january 6th. also, trump goes after one of the most popular democratic surrogates.

his new hit on former first lady michelle obama. later, coordinated and connected. police linking fires at ballot boxes as concerns grow about election security. ♪♪ ♪♪ good morning, it's 10:00 eastern, 7:00 a.m. pacific. i'm ana cabrera in new york. in a full circle moment the focus is back on the same controversy that surrounded donald trump when he first launched a white house bid over nine years ago. rhetoric that demonizes hispanic people. this time days of backlash after a comedian's racist joke about puerto rico at a trump rally. in moments trump will speak from mar-a-lago. likely in an effort to contain the damage. we'll monitor this and dip in if he takes questions. tonight he'll rally in

allentown, pennsylvania, a city home to thousands of puerto ricans. vice president harris will deliver her closing argument tonight and she'll do it from the elipse, the site of donald trump's infamous january 6th speech that preceded the capitol attack. the vice president hoping to draw an overt contrast with her opponent. i want to bring dasha burns at mar-a-lago awaiting trump's remarks. yamiche alcindor is at the elipse in d.c. ahead of vice president harris' speech. also, former republican congressman from florida and democratic strategist and clinton adviser richard goodstein. dasha, trump having a media a performance on his home turf. what can we expect? >> reporter: media appearance is a key phrase here because this is not necessarily a press

conference. we do not expect the former president to take questions. there's always the caveat he may change his mind and do that in the moment. right now with the way the setup is it's unlikely it's going to happen. the campaign want this is to be a prebutal to vice president harris' speech at the elipse. however, after the racist remarks made by that co comedian at madison square garden will he address those jokes and what will he say to puerto ricans? i'm told by the campaign at his event later in allentown the preprogram speakers will be heavy on puerto rican supporters so the campaign is trying to clean this up. the question is how will the former president himself tackle

this, ana. >> really blaring the music there and trying to keep everybody entertained ahead of his remarks here. thank you, dasha, for competing with that sound. yamiche alcindor, what are we learning about the vice president's closing arguments tonight? >> reporter: there's a little bit going on around the white house here. the vice president is getting ready to deliver a speech that's going to be about her vision and her plans for america and campaign officials tell me, of course, speaking about the dangers of a second trump presidency. she's doing it in the backyard of the white house. if you're around the country, the white house is right there and right behind it is a large green space. that's where she'll be delivering that speech. it's the same place where former president trump delivered his speech on january 6th. after that you had that crowd go and attack the u.s. capitol.

the vice president has spoken about why she chose this location. here's what she told nora o'donnell from cbs news. >> i'm doing it there because it's very important for the american people to see and think about who will be occupying that space on january 20th. the reality is most americans can visualize the oval office. we've seen it on television. and this is a real scenario. it's either going to be donald trump or it's going to be me sitting behind the resolute desk in the oval office. >> reporter: that's what we expect the vice president to talk about, the fact that this is an election about choices. campaign officials are saying it's a speech tailored specifically at persuadable voters. they think there are more now because of that madison square garden event with donald trump where there was some racist

comments being made. they think that anyone who is second guessing maybe voting for donald trump or who is a conservative who wouldn't vote for donald trump and has policy differences with the vice president, they're saying this is about the constitution and democracy and the future of the country is on the line. we can see some fencing behind me. this area is being very, very secured. it tells you about this final stretch. there are a lot of security issues here. we'll be getting in there later this afternoon. as of now, they're not letting people in. it tells you they are also expecting a large crowd. the harris campaign initially had a permit application of 20,000 people, they increased that number to 40,000 people. a big crowd expected here, ana. >> yamiche alcindor, thank you. we apologize to our viewers for those comments we heard season yell off camera there.

congressman, the visual symbolism of harris speaking at the elipse, will it create an effective split screen in voters' minds and literally on social media feeds? >> yes, this is all about contrast. that's what kamala harris is going for. she's looking to speak directly to a lot of those voters and we've seen some of steve kornacki's reporting and analysis. there's still a significant universe of persuadable voters out there, voters aligned behind one candidate, but not firmly and still 6 or 7% that are undecided. these are the voters kamala harris is speaking to, trying to grow her coalition, trying to show that contrast with donald trump and remind people about january 6th and what that meant to our country and what donald trump's role was in that very difficult episode for america. this is, i think, as strong a closing argument as she can come up with.

obviously she has some challenges. he's running as part of an administration that remains unpopular according to polling. this contrast is something that could close the deal with undecided voters. >> richard, yesterday we noted how vice president harris said confidently, we will win. that was after months of saying we are the underdog. there's "new york times" reporting that her team has quietly grown more confident. what do you attribute that to and do you read into this at all? >> let me say one thing about the speech, i think it's not going to just be democracy and fascism and embracing hitler and racism and this carnival of grievances at madison square garden. it underscores the message. she's going to talk about the economy and basically say donald trump is all for tariffs and tax cuts for the wealthy.

i'm for tax cuts for the middle class and lowering costs. she'll talk about reproductive freedom and all these issues under the broad democracy heading. the reason they're comfortable, they're looking at these -- the state of the play today is they're looking at early vote. the women are coming out in ways that after dobbs we've seen in election after election and it's in the swing states. it's measurable and we also note from some polls of people who have voted early that independents are going for kamala as well. there's any number of reasons to look at the polling today and the actual early voting as very, very positive for her. >> congressman, as we monitor this trump appearance, you said more republicans must condemn the despicable puerto rico comments from that trump rally. here's how trump's running mate reacted to that controversy.

watch. >> i haven't seen the joke. you know, maybe -- maybe it's a stupid racist joke as you said. maybe it's not. i haven't seen it. i'm not going to comment on the specifics of the joke. we have to stop getting so offended at every little thing in the united states. i'm over it. >> vance later said it was a fake outrage cycle, regarding the fallout. why is it so hard to condemn the racist job and but not condemning it, what message does that send to voters? >> i think this ambiguity, trying to have it both ways, doesn't work. i'm against cancel culture. people are oftentimes overoffended in our country. this was different. this was a political rally where there was a statement made that

denigrated millions of american citizens. puerto ricans are citizens of the united states. they live all over this country. aside from being wrong, it could be costly to donald trump in what is a close race. puerto ricans are in every state. they are u.s. citizens. they can vote. there can be a spillover effect outside the puerto rican community. people understand these comments are wrong and offensive and destructive. they may come out and say, i wasn't sure who i was going to vote for, maybe my neighbor is puerto rican, my work colleague, i'll condemn this kind of speech. every republican has to send a clear message, hey, this is not okay. this was a political rally. it was not some comedy show. this is someone who's trying to lead the country. this is just totally unacceptable. >> when the top of the ticket isn't condemning it, why should anybody expect those below them in other leadership roles to

condemn it. we're learning more about how that joke ended up in that rally. nbc news has this exclusive. we learned this comedian workshoped his puerto rico joke at a new york comedy club the night before the trump rally. quote, the joke did not draw laughs. just a handful of awkward chuckles. hinchcliff said multiple times during his routine he would get a better reaction tomorrow at the rally. richard, this clearly wasn't an off the cuff joke that no one could control. his remarks were choreographed in a teleprompter and nobody made any qualm about that joke until hours later. >> it speaks to how much -- two things. one, in the trump world you don't apologize for anything. you say people are eating cats and dogs, we won an election

that we lost, whatever it is, then everybody in that cult has to -- especially j.d. vance has to get on that page. most of the public sees that as nauseating. secondly, it speaks to how much they embrace racism. all these speakers -- it wasn't just this clown. it was people talking about misogyny in any ways you wouldn't give credence to. they were yucking it up when speaker after speaker were denigrating hispanic, blacks and jews and women. who knew that the october surprise would be trump shooting himself in the foot. >> do you think congressman this was a miss by the trump team or was it just that they find these types of comments acceptable? >> the culture that -- [ inaudible ]

in the republican party anything goes. there's rarely an apology. people just double down. look, it's very easy to underestimate the power, the significance of this kind of comment. there's comments that have been associated with past campaigns like mitt romney with a 47% dismissing millions of americans, hillary clinton, the basket of deplorables, dismissing millions of americans, this is a comment in that vein except it was more crass and offensive of course. not from the mouth of donald trump, but at one of his campaign rallies. ana, this could have a major impact. i wouldn't be surprised if president trump came out today -- maybe not apologized, but clarified that he does not uphold this type of view. it could be very damaging to him politically. >> can i say one thing? we know he holds the view. we saw him tossing rolls of paper towels at puerto ricans after the hurricane.

he withheld aid from puerto rico in the aftermath. whatever he says is pointless. he subscribes to this 100%. >> listen to how some nikki haley voters are reacting to this. >> as a republican, i have become so upset because this is not the republican party that i know. >> it was so out of -- it was so disrespectful. >> i'm not going to vote for harris because of it. i'm still torn. >> i think it's disgusting. i can't say it would change my vote. i don't think there's any place for that in a political rally. i don't think there's a place for that anywhere. >> quickly, congressman, based on your conversations with republicans and your instincts where do you see nikki haley voters landing tuesday? >> the nikki haley voters or voters that are undecided or

loosely attached to the candidates, this is the type of comment, ana, it's the dynamic that could really push people away. here in the state of florida, of course, this is a red state, but rick scott is running in a competitive race here, he immediately distanced himself from these comments. he understands how potent they are and how much they could damage republican candidates. >> guys, thank you both. we'll keep a close eye on that mar-a-lago announcement or remarks from donald trump. we'll monitor those remarks. we'll take you there live if he takes questions. much more from the campaign trail, including threats against election workers and ballot drop boxes. the fears leading up to the vote. also, ahead, trump racking up baseless claims that this election could be, quote, stolen. sound familiar? a legal expert joins us on why

although she and many of the folks we'll hear from have been supporters of the vice president harris. saturday the former first lady will be back in pennsylvania for the day campaigning for vice president harris as well as other democrats up and down the ticket. i'll tell you, i was in kalamazoo, michigan, over the weekend when michelle obama spoke for about 40 minutes. the room was -- i can't even describe how attentive, the level of attentiveness. i've been to a bunch of rallies. as the former first lady spoke, people were listening intensely. she's a masterful story teller, not burdened by being a politician who has to say things in a particular way. she was able to speak plainly to the people in the room. she's been an incredible advocate for the vice president. as you pointed out, she spoke passionately about the former president and why she believes he's not fit for another term in

steve kornacki has this look at which counties to watch. >> it's going to be election night and we'll watch as this county map lights up in pennsylvania. you'll be watching it closely. believe me nationally we'll be watching pennsylvania like a

hawk. what are we looking for in the kamala harris/trump race? a couple things come to mind for me. you know the philadelphia suburbs, philadelphia itself, but the suburbs have been getting bluer and bluer. does that trend continue? another place i'm looking that's been changing politically, outside of harris, cumberland county, still republican, but democrats are making gains. they made some of their biggest gains there in 2020. does that trend continue as well? also looking at a swing county. there's a swing county in erie county. north hampton is the other one. it went for trump in 2016 and flipped and went for biden in 2020. let's look at lackawanna county where scranton is. used to be overwhelmingly democratic. when donald trump won in 2016 he

didn't win lackawanna, but only lost by a few points. in 2020 trump lost ground. the democrats won it by almost 10. lackawanna county is it like 2016 or 2020? that will tell us a lot about what's happening in pennsylvania. >> steve kornacki, thanks. pennsylvania's also a major battleground in the fight for control of the senate. all this week we're visiting the critical states where these are the key races unfolding. we're checking in with reporters who know them best. the senate race in pennsylvania is neck and neck with three-term democratic incumbent senator bob casey in what may be the toughest fight of his career. the latest polls show him leading dave mccormick within the margin of error. joining us now is lauren may, she's in drexel hill, pennsylvania, where trump speaks later today. thanks for making time for us.

bob casey won by big margins in his last races, as much as 20 points. why is this race so close this year? >> reporter: well, ana, one of the big reasons is because the presidential race is so tight in pennsylvania. we just heard steve talking about this as such a critical battleground. yes, senator casey did have big margin wins in his other races, but that was the same case for the presidential and the gubernatorial democrats who were running in those years at the same time. they all had big margins those years. this year things are tighter in the presidential race and also in the senate race here in pennsylvania. >> i understand you spoke with mccormick and casey about one of the key issues this election, abortion. what did they have to say? >> reporter: abortion is one of the big issues in this race, along with the economy and

immigration. they have both accused the other of having extreme positions. dave mccormick has described himself as pro-life, but says he does not support a national ban on abortion. senator bob casey, his position has evolved over the years. he at one point described himself as a, quote, pro-life democrat, but says things changed after the overturn of roe v. wade. i asked both of them about their positions and restrictions and potential restrictions. take a listen. >> as a u.s. senator, would you do anything to prevent states from banning abortions? >> i think when you say states rights, it's a state's right. we have to take the power out of judges and give it to the people to decide and vote for people who are going to put in place -- it's a polarizing issue. i would not support national

legislation. >> it's most important to restore roe v. wade. after that's in place, people can have debates about limits. restoring roe v. wade is the key. it's the difference in the race. there's never been a clearer choice on this basic right. >> reporter: so this is one of the situations where you can clearly see the difference in their positions. now, of course, it's up to voters to decide whether this is a key issue for them. >> trump will be in pennsylvania later today in allentown, which is a majority latino community. i'm curious how is this controversy over the racist trump by a trump ally about puerto rico playing there? >> reporter: democrats are certainly jumping on this. we will see whether this actually moves the needle. i did talk to the allentown mayor who tells me he thinks it struck a nerve in particular

because it was about a place that people are proud of and he thinks that this could be something that motivates people maybe who were not going to vote at all to maybe now deciding to vote. again, we'll see. one week left to see the impact. >> trump's there today. the vice president will be in pennsylvania tomorrow. they both have made multiple visits to your state. they're both trying to convince that tiny sliver of undecided voters. what's your sense of whether any of their pitches are working? >> reporter: well, i talked to an undecided voter this morning who tells me he's still undecided. there are still voters out there to get. i was at the rally last night in philadelphia with former president obama and i was talking to some people there who told me they were canvassing or making phone calls to undecided voters.

they believe that people can be convinced. that takes time. as we know, there's not a lot of time left. >> lauren mayk, thank you so much. appreciate your reporting. another key senate race to watch is in wisconsin. at noon my colleague andrea mitchell will talk to senator tammy baldwin who is in a tight race. still ahead for users threats of violence, voter purges, election conspiracies, candidates sewing doubt in our elections. it's not a case of deja vu. it's all happening right now. we'll talk to an election expert about the fights ahead. about the fights ahead

visit indeed.com/hire we're back with a live look at mar-a-lago where former president trump is set to speak soon. as we mentioned, we're monitoring this. we will bring you remarks if he takes questions live and we'll monitor what else he has to say. seven days out. new fears swirling around election security. the fbi believes two fires at ballot drop boxes in oregon and washington were intentional and connected because that car you see there on the right side of your screen was spotted at both locations. we're also already monitoring legal challenges with cases on voter eligibility in virginia and pennsylvania potentially before the supreme court and even before election day one of the candidates is already baselessly claiming he expects

to see cheating at the polls. let's bring in election law expert rick hasson, he's a professor at ucla's law school. ballot boxes damaged. last-men election lawsuits filed. trump's premature claims of fraud. what are you most concerned about in the next seven days? >> there's not just one concern. the idea of individuals committing violence against election officials, against voters is something we need to watch for. it doesn't have to be organized. it could just be a single person. hopefully everything goes smoothly on election day. people are on alert. we're watching to see how close the election is. the claim that is the election is going to be stolen, the same claims donald trump made in 2020 that turned out to be completely unfounded, he's making them

again. even if it's not a close race, even if harris appears to be the winner, i expect donald trump will claim to be the winner and we may be in for some dicey days of uncertainty and sewing doubt in the election's integrity. >> let's talk about the current legal challenges we're seeing. the supreme court has been asked to let the state remove 1,600 voters from the roles. that state's republican governor says he's removing noncitizens. activists saying that citizens are getting caught up in this. in pennsylvania, the rnc is trying to block provisional votes from being counted. do you expect the supreme court to take up these cases? >> both of these cases are before the supreme court on an emergency basis. the court has to do something. the virginia case involves a small number of ballots. there's a federal law that says

you can't have systematic purges 90 days before the election. the question is whether the supreme court wants to get involved. the pennsylvania could be significant. these are people who vote by mail and forget to include the secrecy envelope and they're being given the opportunity to vote with a provisional ballot to take place for the ballot that was mistakenly submitted without that envelope. there could be thousands of ballots at issue. if we have a close election, these ballots could be dispositive. last time justice alito had a certain number of ballots put aside as they continued with the legal challenges. we might see a similar thing happen in this election as well. >> similar thing happen in this election as well. >> what kinds of cases could the supreme court face after the election? >> well, again, if we have a 2000 type election like bush

versus gore, it could exceed the margin of victory and all bets are off and you don't know about the litigation. but if the election is this close and coming down a few hundred ballots in a single state, the odds of that happening are low. the courts were not going to be part of any scheme to try and subvert the outcome of the election and i expect the courts will hold the line again if we see similar weak claims being brought by the trump side this time. >> donald trump is already sewing doubt about the election results ahead of the election but you said it would be harder for him to do what he tried to do in 2020 this time around.

why? >> because first of all, donald trump may win the election out right. what happens if it comes down to harris winning, would he try and get congress to do something that would overturn the results. it's harder because in 2022, the supreme court decided a case about state legislators having unbridled power to do whatever they want in elections. last time around in 2020, people were surprised at the effort to overturn the results, and this time the people are prepared and the legal defenses that worked last time and we just squeaked through. >> that's reassuring. thank you for bringing your

expertise. such an interesting and important conversation. thanks. are you feeling stressed about the election? aren't we all? you are far from the only one. a new report reveals two-thirds of the election is a significant source of stress. nbc's morgan radford. >> what was striking is which issues people were most concerned about, which is why this election season some people are deciding to tackle that anxiety head on. ononslaught of anxiety nationwide. >> on a scale of 1 to 10, how anxious are you about the election? >> about 8. >> 69% of americans now say the election is a significant source

of stress in their lives. 22% say the election could lead to violence, and women are more likely than men stressed about how their lives would be affected by the election. here in georgia, democratic voter says election stress affected her day-to-day life. >> i am the best shape i have been in in my life because i exercised like crazy to get rid of anxiety, and exercise indoors because outdoors there are political signs everywhere. >> while entrepreneur, carter williams, a republican says his stress is tied to his business. what are the issues that make you most anxious? >> number one, the economy and the cost of everything at this point is up. you know, it's not helping. >> one national nonprofit even creating a dedicated crisis text

line for anxiety. >> i would be accountable but kind. >> which is why nationally patterson decided to host in-person peer counseling sessions. >> we share tools and tips. we talk about all of it in community and give people a way to resource themselves and to have peer support. >> finding calm among the chaos. mental health experts say beyond seeking professional help, there are things you can do on your own. for example, set boundaries like limiting your exposure to social media, and be involved in get out the vote count so you can be involved in your own life, and building those social connections reminds us none of us are in the feeling alone. >> thank you, morgan. that does it for us today.
