tv The Reid Out MSNBC November 1, 2024 4:00pm-5:00pm PDT
4:01 pm
it's a big night so keep it locked right here. "the reidout" with joy reid starts now. tonight on "the reidout" -- >> he has increased his violent rhetoric, donald trump has, about political opponents and in great detail, in great detail, suggested rifles should be trained on former representative liz cheney. this must be disqualifying. >> vice president harris speaking bluntly as donald trump ratchets up his violent rhetoric in the final days of the presidential campaign. also tonight, the extremism of trump's maga men, with jd vance making outrageous new comments about women and transgender people. and trump promising to put a
4:02 pm
veritable lunatic, rfk jr., in charge of women's health. singer song writer and actress janelle monae joins me on that and much more. but we begin tonight with just four days to go until the last votes are cast in what has been an election season unlike anything we have ever seen before. an election that last night once again entered uncharted territory when donald trump, a felon on probation awaiting sentencing, sat down with one of if not the biggest purveyors of russian propaganda and white supremacy ever to darken the shores of cable news, fired fox host tucker carlson. during the event in arizona, not only did trump call president joe biden a stupid bastard and vice president kamala harris, quote, a sleaze bag.
4:03 pm
in true autocratic fashion, he took it even further, openly fantasizing about violent retribution against one of his political opponents, former republican congresswoman liz cheney. >> she's a radical war hawk. let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. let's see how she feels about it. when the guns are trained on her face. >> before you dismiss that as just trump being trump, remember, the supreme court just this year in the case of u.s. versus trump, ruled that he had absolute immunity for acts he committed as president, which the d.c. circuit court of appeals said could include using the military to kill a political rival. >> could a predorder seal team six to assassinate a political rival? that's an official act in order to seal team 6? >> he would have to be and speedily would be impeached and
4:04 pm
convicted before the criminal prosecution. >> i asked you a yes or no question. could a president who ordered seal team 6 to assassinate a political rival who was not impeached, could he be subject to criminal prosecution? >> if he were impeached and convicted first. >> so your answer is no. >> my answer is qualified yes. there is a political process which would have to occur which would we choir impeachment by the senate. while his friends at fox are laughing off what amounted to a death threat against a former congresswoman, reactions from people who are serious about our democracy have been swift. the attorney general of arizona says that her office is investigating whether trump's comments amount to a death threat. cheney herself responded in a social media post, saying this is how dictators destroy free nations. they threaten those who speak against them with death. we cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty,
4:05 pm
vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. but if you expected any of cheney's former republican colleagues to stand up for her, well, you know, think again. the reaction on the right has mostly been crickets. some have just made excuses. trump is doubling down. today in michigan saying this. >> i think that liz cheney is a disaster. all she wants to do is -- she's a war hawk and a dumb one at that, and if you ever put her into the field of battle, she would be the first one to chicken out. she wouldn't fight. she would chicken out so fast. >> that's rich. coming from a guy who dodged the draft claiming bone spurs. and let's be clear, this is not the first time trump has threatened violence against those who have opposed him. trump has amplified posts on his social media site calling for televised military tribunals for cheney. he's floated the idea of
4:06 pm
executing joint chiefs chairman mark milley. and he's talked about siccing the military on, quote, the enemy within, which includes american citizens and named congress members adam schiff and former speaker pelosi. and in the final days of this election, this vile, violent rant is a stark reminder of just how unambiguously different the two choices for president are. on one hand, you have vice president harris running on unity and hope for the future, someone who despite everything is offering republicans a seat at the table. on the other hand, there's trump, whose entire campaign has been centered around retribution for fellow americans he calls his enemies, a point vice president harris made today. >> this must be disqualifying. anyone who wants to be president of the united states, who uses that kind of violent rhetoric, is clearly disqualified and unqualified to be president.
4:07 pm
representative china is a true patriot who has shown extraordinary courage in putting country above party. trump is increasingly, however, someone who considers his political opponents the enemy, is permanently out for revenge, and is increasingly unstable and unhinged. >> joining me now is michael steele, former chairman of the republican national committee and cohost of the weekend right here on msnbc. and george conway, conservative attorney and president of the anti-psychopath pac. thank you for being here. michael, this must be disqualifying. that's what vice president harris said. you used to run this political party, the republicans. why isn't it disqualifying? >> um, it is disqualifying. and they know it's disqualifying. so let's put it out there. not only is it disqualifying for donald trump but it's disqualifying for every member of the united states congress and every member of the united
4:08 pm
states senate who have not spoken out, spoken up to this point or against it. we need to know where you stand, as your constituents go to the polls. do you believe that a former member or current member of congress could be so threatened by an individual like donald trump who wants to be the next president, and there are no repercussions for that. where would you stand on that? to be honest, joy, i'm sick of the bs, the excuse making, the lying, the backtracking, all of the noise that you do hear is there to undermine what you and i see. what we know, what we hear coming from donald trump. not just today but from the first day he came down the escalator. so at some point, this country has to get its head out of its behind when it comes to donald trump and be honest about the thing in front of it. >> yeah. i mean, at this point, we have a halloween parade on main street
4:09 pm
in western pennsylvania in which they had a float depicting what was supposed to be vice president harris being pulled on a chain behind a truck with snipers on it. essentially re-creating a lynching on main street in pennsylvania. in mt. pleasant, a town called mt. pleasant, for the love of god, george conway. that's what donald trump is encouraging in his followers, in the people who love him, in maga. that's the kind of behavior that he is encouraging. and yet, as our dear friend nicolle wallace pointed out earlier today, republicans are silent. other than the ones who have already crossed over into the anti-autocrat party and there are many of them, goss bless those who have crossed over like liz cheney. where is george w. bush? george w. bush had the job of president. his former vice president's daughter has now received what the arizona a.g. is
4:10 pm
investigating as a possible death threat from a guy on probation who is going to be sentenced two weeks after this election. where are the bushes? where is jeb, where is george? >> the list can go on and on and on. i mean, there are so many republicans who are simply averting their eyes and zipping their mouths shut and pretending that what they know and what they can see is not there. and it's a complete disgrace. donald trump at least has an excuse. it's not a legal excuse. it would never suffice to establish an insanity defense to the various criminal charges he faces, but he is a sick man. he is a deranged man. he has certain well defined personality disorders, severe personality disorders, antisocial personality disorder, narcicisstic personality disorder, i'm a broken record on
4:11 pm
this. if you go through the checklist of the characteristics that fit those diseases, he has them. and they are the exact same diseases that cult leaders, dangerous cult leaders, the people who -- jim jones at georgetown, hitler, stalin, all manner of evil people throughout history who developed cult-like followings and engaged in incredible destruction, he fits that bill. and so everyone is out there and says, oh, that's just the way he talks. that's baloney. i was going to use a stronger word there, and it's also in the case of the people who are closest to him, an incredible lie. and you know, the republican party has become sufused with lies. and the biggest lie that has been told by people who are in the trump white house and by people in the campaign now and by all the people implicitly who
4:12 pm
refuse to speak out about him now is somehow he resembles -- that he is a normal person, he simply says a few outrageous things here and there. he's a sick man and a dangerous man. and the notion that we are still discussing the possibility that he could in a matter of days be elected president is profoundly disturbing. >> yeah, elected president with more power than presidents typically have, thanks to john roberts and the conservative majority on the supreme court, who have essentially said he would be our king, and you know, you mentioned jim jones, and to go back to you, michael, people forget that jim jones ordered those followers to drink the kool-aid because he was facing imminent arrest. because of the assassination of a member of congress. he knew he was going to prison, so he decided everybody dies because he didn't want to go to jail. hat is why the jim jones thing happened and those who wouldn't drink the kool-aid were shot down. so donald trump, to george
4:13 pm
conway's point, fits all these characteristics of that kind of autocrat, but he's also surrounded by people who have the same sort of defects in their morality and character. elon musk who is runding his ground game, i want to put this on the screen, is tricking workers, some of them black, black, white, indifferent, whoever, in the back of a van with no seat belts riding around, tricked and threatened to go and do the supposed get out the vote effort that doesn't exist. so not only is trump diseased mentally, he's being fooled by somebody who is also diseased mentally, who would then continue to have government contracts and have control over our government. the idea of handing this country over to the likes of trump, elon musk, and tucker carlson, who wants people to irradiate their genitals and says he's being attacked by demons at night, that's the crew who were being
4:14 pm
told ought to run this country. >> so do you think we have spent enough time telling the country about these people? do you think we have spent enough time leveling up the sort of manic behavior, the misogynistic and racist behavior of these individuals? do you think we spent enough time since november of 2022 characterizing and elevating and putting out there before the american people yet again this is the guy that wants to be president, even after he tells us he wants to be a dictator, even after he tells us he wants to just summarily lock up people that he disagrees with, and now we have graduated. we graduated to firing squads and executions. so you know, at this point, it's not even talking about donald trump and the assets around him that perpetuate and are prepared
4:15 pm
to perpetuate what he wants to do to this country. it is the country right now. this is the power you have on a piece of paper. damn it, come tuesday, if you haven't voted already, and so i don't know what more we have to say. what more can be said that hasn't already been shown to you? tiktok, and video, and explained every which way but sunday. you know, folks, look, wednesday morning when you wake up, you're either going to have the first woman to try to course correct this country into its future or you're going to be sitting there scratching your head saying what the hell happened? because trust me, the moment you open up your mouth, the first thing that happens, the insurrection act is revoked, he's going to start coming after people and start relitigating the 2020 election, all of this crap. so y'all got a choice. it's a binary.
4:16 pm
just figure it out. >> and george, liz cheney in many ways is the perfect emblem for that. this is somebody who voted with donald trump something like 90% of the time. she voted with him. she was on his side. mark milley was his joint chiefs of staff chair. john kelly was his chief of staff. he now wants to put those same people before a firing squad because the moment the autocrat is displeased with you, no matter how loyal you have been in the past, it doesn't matter. stephen miller feels safe now, but let him look at donald trump sideways one day and he'll be the one donald trump is saying should be before a firing squad. donald trump had that comedian hired, it was his campaign that hired him. now he doesn't know who that is, he claims. the minute you are inconvenient to him, you are one of the enemies within. that's the point, right? if liz cheney, who by the way, has more bravery, you know, as a woman out there taking all the death threats and a lot of these
4:17 pm
men, these beta men that run behind trump, if she can be targeted this way, any of them can be. >> yeah, she's the perfect foil for trump. trump is a depraved man who believes in nothing but himself. liz cheney is a patriot. liz has spoken out about republicans, not just trump, but republicans generally that -- republicans who have spoken out and enabled trump, to enable trump and who have been quiet in the face of trump. she has said this repeatedly, she said it during the january 6th hearings. she has said it many times since. their shame will live forever. >> indeed. >> in contrast, the patriotism, the courage, the forthrightness, the honor that liz cheney has shown is something that donald trump can't tolerate. he hates that.
4:18 pm
because it is -- it is like kryptonite to him. and her honor and her courage and her patriotism will live even longer than being the contemptible lying and shamefulness and brazenness of the people who stand up and tolerate trump. >> as in theory could the idea of a woman president of the united states backed not just by liberals and progressives but also by principled republicans. michael steele and george conway, thank you both. coming up, the table about to turn because i will be joined by the queen herself, janelle monae, to talk about the tightrope we're walking this election and the threats to our reproductive freedom. you definitely don't want to miss this. er's out comcast business has you covered, with wifi backup to help keep you up and running.
4:19 pm
4:20 pm
he has plans to punish his political enemies in a second term, but no plan to punish corporations who rip you off. trump is running to get revenge for himself. kamala is running to get results for you. her plans cut middle class taxes and price gouging, protect medicare and social security, and make life more affordable. i will always put the middle class and working families first. trump fights for trump. kamala fights for you.
4:21 pm
ff pac is responsible for the content of this ad. when we started feeding bogie the farmer's dog, he lost so much weight. pre-portioned packs makes it really easy to keep him lean and healthy. in the morning, he flies up the stairs and hops up on my bed. in the past, he would not have been able to do any of those things.
4:23 pm
. to elect donald trump would also be to choose the weirdos in his orbit. and that will be a nightmare scenario for america, but especially for american women. among the weird men encircling trump, you have his would-be vice president jd vance who would be one broken hip away from the presidency. sharing this extremist junk on joe rogan's podcast. >> have you seen all these studies that basically connect
4:24 pm
testosterone levels in young men with conservative politics? >> oh, yeah. >> maybe that's what's going on. >> the moment where i started to get red pills on the whole vaccthing is the sickest i have been in the last 15 years by far is when i took the vaccine. somehow it's fundamentally racist to say, well, we don't want certain people of certain backgrounds to be in the united states of america. no, it's just common sense. >> actually, james david, hating certain people of certain backgrounds is exactly what racism is. you then have tucker carlson, snake oil salesman of testicle tanning and god knows what else claiming he was mauled by a demon while asleep which left him bleeding in bed. a story endorsed by none other than alex jones, the conspiracy theorist who is clearly not well, who was ordered to pay $1.5 billion with a "b" in damages for claiming the sandy hook school shooting was a hoax. there's also stephen miller, the
4:25 pm
ghoulish sadistic grandson of eastern european refugees who seems to view rounding up brown immigrants, separating mothers from their children, and chucking them all into concentration camps as a sport he could actually letter in. but perhaps most alarming is that donald trump is promising to grant brain worm infested animal carcass voyeur and dedicated anti-vaxer, robert kennedy jr., unlimited power over women's health. >> robert f. kennedy jr. we have. and he's going to work on health and women's health. i'm going to let him go wild on the food. i'm going to let him go wild on medicines. >> he can do anything he wants. he wants to look at the vaccines, anything, i think it's great. >> what do you expect from a candidate who talks about women like this? >> they said, well, i'm going to do it whether the women like it or not.
4:26 pm
i'm going to protect them. >> whether women like it or not, said the adjudicated sexual abuser. joining me now is grammy-nominated singer and actress janelle monae. it is so great to have you on the show. i would just love to get your top of mind thoughts about the men who claim they will now be our protectors, donald trump, jd vance, and apparently robert f. kennedy jr., who will be in charge of all of our health care. >> well, i want to say hi, joy ann, thank you so much for having me. thank you for holding us down and in the best possible way. it is very clear that the sexual abuser, the rapist, the dictator, and the misogynist, i could go on and on, that is donald trump does not care about women. and does not care about the health care for women, and anybody else who he is talking about he wants to appoint to take care of women.
4:27 pm
they also do not care about women. this is so true about the republicans and everybody that supports this man. it's very clear that he is the wrong candidate to be leading this country. he's only out for himself. he's not for our people. and he's playing to an audience that thrives off hate, division, and really the hatred of women. and i'm not going to stand here and allow it. >> amen. i mean, and the thing is, what they're doing is a lot of, when people who take in a lot of conservative media see it, you're not necessarily going to see it if you're watching normal media, but they're couching a lot of their supposed protection of women in anti-transilate and saying the thing that women should really worry about is not that they don't have access to abortion. we just had an 18-year-old woman, propublica reported died after three trips to the e.r., she was clearly experiencing sepsis from a pregnancy in which the fetus was dead, and she is dead now because texas wouldn't
4:28 pm
touch her. she's untouchable in texas because of their abortion ban. but they're saying, oh, no, don't worry about dying because you don't have health care. worry about trans people. that jd vance interview with joe rogan, three hours, most of it was attacking trans people. that's how you protect women. >> it's clear these people are out of their mind and they do not deserve to be in the white house and leading this country. we know that transphobic language is used as ammunition to murder and kill more trans people in this country. i don't care if you have a democrat, republican, independent, what party you serve or you're supportive of, stand up for human rights. this is the language that literally kills humans. taking control of women's bodies and waiting until they're on their death bed before you can give them help or having a doctor be so afraid to help a woman on her death bed, that is
4:29 pm
absolutely heartbreaking to learn that donald trump wants that to be how we treat human beings. so i'm asking everyone to stand up for human rights. don't even think about what party you are a part of. and right now, the only candidate in this race is kamala harris and tim walz. those are the only two candidates in the race who wants to protect women's headache, reproductive right, who want to protect trans rights. i'm queer, black, i grew up to working class parents. my mom was a janitor, my daddy was a trashman, my stepdad who is just like my dad, still works at the post office. donald trump cares about cutting taxes for billionaires. he doesn't care about poor people like my grandmother who served in the county jail for 25 years. he doesn't care about my people. he doesn't care about marginalized folks.
4:30 pm
i'm asking those in a position of power who benefit from whiteness, who benefit from patriarchy, to stand up for women, minorities, and those who don't have platforms to stand up for themselves. and do it with legislation. vote up and down the ballot for people who will protect our rights, and vote for the candidates who will also be protecting our rights. >> and i -- thank you for saying that so cleary. whenever i have the blessing and the privilege of speaking with an artist, can love to ask this question, too, because i think people forget how autocracies work, and the arts come under fire because they are a place where people, as you just explained, who come from the working class, from the regular folks, who are able to make it k express on behalf of marginalized people. and we know that you're going to be in e.t., which is extremely cool, one of my favorite movies as a kid. that's a cool thing, but the
4:31 pm
arts would not survive in autocracy. the arts would not survive long because autocrats don't wanteshpression. so i wonder if that's a conversation that, if that's the reason why so many artists are coming forward and saying no, we can't have trump. >> i think we're coming at it from a human -- >> for halloween, so you dressed up at halloween. i'm making you into the movie -- giving you a film role. >> listen, i love that my costume made you think cinema, because that's exactly what i was going for. thank you, steven spielberg, thank you, e.t. but what i will say about that is that, you know, when i go home, i still have to talk to my cousins, to my mom, to people in my life who are working class. yes, i was able to use my career and to have a platform and to be able to perform all around the world. but what i'm not doing right now
4:32 pm
is sitting -- this is just a moment i'm going to actually plug the civil servants. i like to call our angels who are writing up the legislation. folks in the aclu. i'm not sitting there writing up the laws and the legislation to protect our rights. we're not doing that as artists. what we don't want to do and what i don't want to do is have their work be even more hard when it comes to protecting our rights. if donald trump is in the administration. he's already said that he's going to make their lives more difficult. they have already spoken and said, hey, we're sitting here hour after hour, week after week, month after month crafting, making laws to protect black and brown folks from being gunned down by police, who donald trump wants to give full immunity to for killing our people. they're making sure that our voter rights stay intact. they're making sure that trans right stay intact. they're making sure that reproductive rights, that we
4:33 pm
have those rights. so what we don't want to do is undo all of the years, the decades of hard work that they put in. so even if you're kamala harris, vp kamala harris, tim walz, they're those rock stars but when i go on stage, i'm the rock star, but i'm nothing without my crew. i'm nothing without the people behind the scenes making those laws. so we come not as artists, we come knowing it takes a full community of people to make this work. and if we don't -- if we don't give them the tools that they need on our behalf, all our freedom is on the ballot. our lives are literally on the ballot. >> indeed. so well said. the fabulous amazing janelle monae, thank you so much for taking some time to be with us tonight. we appreciate you. >> thank you my love. go vote. with miebo, eyes can feel ♪ miebo ohh yeah ♪ miebo is the only prescription dry eye

4:38 pm
. in the battleground state of michigan, which president biden carried by less than 100,000 votes, more than 2 million people have already voted in this election. donald trump flanked by rfk jr., made a stop today in dearborn, notably the first arab american majority city in the u.s. and it could be that arab american vote that decides who wins michigan. trump's visit comes on the heels of jd vance's appearance on joe rogan in which the host when talking about religious
4:39 pm
influence said, the worst case scenario would be a state adopting sharia law. >> to say that that's an outrageous and ridiculous idea that's never going to take place, it's kind of already works its way into some societies. >> it has. >> is it minnesota that has call to prayer? is it minneapolis? >> i don't know -- i know there's a place in minnesota. i believe, where they have prayer calls as a matter of local government. if you think that won't happen on a national level, you're crazy. you have communities in the uk where local leaders are running explicitly on sharia law and winning elections in cities in the united kingdom. this is england, where america came from. >> none of that is true. joining me now, none of it. joining me now is dean obeidallah. host of the dean obeidallah show, and tara dowdell.
4:40 pm
is sharia law overtaking this country and where should we -- where should we focus the inquisition? is the 1066 again in america? >> it's good to see you. it's called christian sharia law, in 14 states where they banned abortion based on religious beliefs that they turned into law to oppress women and force them against their will to carry a fetus to term. but they're doing the exact same thing. the taliban should shoot the gop for trademark infringement. yes, jd vance is right, there is a place with christian fundamentalists imposing their beliefs as law and it's the gop. >> indeed. they definitely have taliban qualities. let me read you, this is what the mayor of dearborn, michigan, said about the architect of the muslim ban, donald trump, before his visit. he said trump will never be my president. the architect of the muslim ban is making a campaign stop in
4:41 pm
dearborn. people in this community know what trump stands for. we suffered through it for years. i have refused a sit-down with him, although the requests keep pouring in. trump will never be my president. and then he adds to the dems, your unwillingness to stop funding and enabling a genocide created the space for trump to infiltrate our communities. remember that. so i had a panel on yesterday, talking about how people really get that donald trump would be much worse, and yet there is this opening, a small number of muslim leaders have created. >> let me just say, donald trump's out reach to the muslim community, he can go f himself. donald trump made our lives hell. his campaign from 2016 to 2020, talking about his muslim ban to saying islam hates us to saying we muslims knew where the terrorists were and refused to turn them in. the result was a spike in hate
4:42 pm
crimes worse than after 9/11. mosques were defaced with the word trump, like it was a modern day swastika. we saw bullying of muslim students, and with palestinians, trump was horrific. he cut aid to relief agencies. so look, the mayor, i know no muslim in good conscience should support him. the question on vice president harris is different. i understand the moral dilemma, but the emotion and pain that people feel, joy, is beyond words. and i understand it as a palestinian myself. i see it daily on instagram. i support harris, emotion says it's much harder. >> he's not leaving anyone out, tara. let me let you listen to what he said in dearborn today about vice president harris. >> kamala harris' advisers say you will declare victory no matter what. what are your comments? >> all i can tell you, she's an inferior candidate.
4:43 pm
she didn't get one vote. she's totally an inferior candidate. she shouldn't be running. >> inferior candidate, huh? >> there's always coded language with trump. and it's just, i remind people, it's so important to keep reminding people how divisive he is because he floods the zone with so many insults and so much misinformation and disinformation, it's very hard for people to keep track of it. but this is the man taking it back to "the apprentice," this the man that wanted to do a whites versus blacks season of "the apprentice." and he's essentially carrying out that season of "the apprentice" in the real world right now, pitting people against each other. and there's a large portion, and i think this part of vice president harris' message is really resonating with people, about unifying people, ending all of this divisiveness, and bitterness, and anger. and there's a huge part of the
4:44 pm
country that wants to do that. but i think it's so incumbent upon the democratic party as well as people who support the party to continue to push the message of unity and to remind people, because never underestimate how much people forget and romanticize things. that's another thing we have to -- we have to continue to push the message. >> let me stay with you for a moment because we know six alumni of "the apprentice" have endorsed kamala harris and you're on that list, kwame jackson, yourself, dr. randall pinkett who won, bill pruitt, and here's a little of what you wrote. last week, we saw the open letter from the brave survivors of sexual assault speaking out about the importance of this election. to those survivors of violence, we see you, we hear you, and we agree with you that vice president harris is the only choice for president. we believe this represents the majority opinion of our
4:45 pm
castmates. we invite our fellow americans to join us. why that? why did you all decide you needed to do that? >> it was really important for us that we wanted to do that. we wanted to speak out, and so i think given everything that trump is doing, we felt it was important that people hear from people who worked closely with donald trump. so that was a big part of why we spoke out, is really just building a coalition or a collective of people who know him well. we're not just anybody. we're people who know him well, and this is what we have to say. that's why we spoke out. >> you're in good company. lebron james came out, tons of people have come out, j. lo, you could go on and on. lebron was another big one. yes, "the apprentice" folks as well. dean and tara, thank you both very much. very much. treatment, biktarvy.v biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in many people
4:46 pm

♪ robitussin ♪ okay, i would like to introduce you to someone you might not have heard of. her name is claudia. she was sworn in last month as the first woman president of mexico. she's also mexico's first president of jewish heritage. by electing a female chief executive, mexico joins the uk liberia, diana, and maybe the united states. it is worth noting, in less than a week, north america's leaders will be canada, led by a young man, justin trudeau,
4:51 pm
mexico, led by a woman, and america, led by either vice president kamala harris, or 70- year-old donald trump. what will be the difference? joining me now is julio. great to see you. i want to ask about this, we have interviewed both claudia sheinbaum and kamala harris, you're the perfect person to talk to. to set the stage here, first folks need to understand that mexico is our largest trading partner. talk in general, as you have talked to both women, but might be the difference, or the policy differences between a trump-tran14 relationship and a harris and sheinbaum relationship? >> sure, i think there will be major differences. i spoke to vice president harris, as you just said, she told me, she had talked to president claudia sheinbaum over the phone and they talked about how they could work together if she gets to the
4:52 pm
white house. so, she was very happy about it. she expressed her joy with those conversations. kamala harris describes herself as a pragmatist. i would say, claudia sheinbaum is also a pragmatist, she's a scientist. she's famous for making decisions based on the data she has in front of her. now, vice president harris, i would say, she is becoming more of a moderate, she defines herself as a capitalist. claudia sheinbaum is a left- wing politician. when we compare what the relationship would be with democratic president, or president trump in the white house, that would be the major difference. mexico had a hard time with donald trump in the white house. most people think things will be even worse with a second trump presidency. >> and the issue, one of the main issues, of course, this mask deportation plan and tariffs, both of which could really disrupt mexico's economy,
4:53 pm
could force lots of migrants over the border in the other direction. when you set a scientist, i think people should note, a climate scientist, which is really fascinating because oil is such a big part of the trade. that issue with immigration, how do you think that potentially resonated on the mexican side of the border, potentially with trump and mass deportation? >> there is a big concern. three issues are the biggest ones when it comes to the mexico-u.s. relationship. number one, trade, as you just mentioned, immigration, and security, the war on drugs. when we talk about immigration, the possibility of deporting millions of immigrants, any of them are mexicans, would represent a huge challenge for the mexican government that we would need to generate jobs and opportunities for those deported mexicans. also, remittances would stop coming into the country. we also have to say, those would also represent a big
4:54 pm
change for the u.s., a big cause for the operation of deporting so many people and it is estimated that mexican immigrants paid billions of dollars in taxes, according to the irs. that is a big challenge for both countries. when it comes to tariffs, we just have to see our previous experience with president trump and the white house. the trade agreement, he ended and started a new agreement. he is threatening with more tariffs , and there are big concerns in mexico because of this. >> the other piece of it is the answer independence of the continent. i think about it, on the world stage, you have this young, 52- year-old prime minister in canada. you would have this sort of changing of the guard generationally, you would think, in some sense in terms of, if it is not biden anymore, it would be a much younger president close in age to sheinbaum, i find that fascinating how these two would
4:55 pm
interact, do you? >> i agree. that is why i asked vice president harris about it. i thought her answer was very honest and very interesting. in latin america, we have a number of experiences, a number of examples of email president, castro, honduras, chile, brazil , and we have a couple of examples of strong men in power. latinos in the u.s., first- generation latinos, second- generation latinos really know both characters and what a female president would represent, also with a strong man and president trump would represent in power. >> i will note, mexico is sort of having a year of the woman. lots of female elected officials. it is a fascinating story. please come back often my friend. much appreciated. cheers. next, bad bunny delivered perhaps the most consequential celebrity endorsement of the
