two of you. what exactly have you excited about this project? >> it is definitely an original. this format has never been done before. i'd do anything bob asked me to do. when he said, tom, i was like, let's get the band back together. it was like no time had passed. >> it felt familiar, that set. >> that is so nice. that is nice to have that sort of relationship. we have been working together for 18 years. it is just continuous. any who. that is it for us this saturday morning. we are back tomorrow morning, 6:00 a.m. eastern, two days out for what could be one of the most important elections of our lifetimes. we will see you then. then. good morning, it is saturday, november 2nd.

i am alecia mendez with michael steele. today, down to the wire. the chairs at the dnc and the triple dnc will join us to discuss their final push on election day. senator elizabeth warren is back with a closing economic message from president harris. team trump lays out new plans if he wins a second term. it is a big show in the big week. welcome to "the weekend." we are just three days out from election day and nearly 67 million americans have already cast their ballots. that's a lot of people, folks. there's a lot of details about who is voting, this year. registered democrats are outpacing register republicans

by just one point in the early vote but women are showing up in greater numbers than men by nearly a 10 point margin. if that trend holds, it could be a game changer for the harris campaign. last night in wisconsin, here is reminded voters why their voices matter. that is be intentional about building community, about building coalitions! let us remind each other and others that we have so much more in common than what separates us. let us do that! there is power in that! it will strengthen our country! and it will remind folks also, your vote is your voice! and your voice is your power! start joining us now is the former missouri senator and political analyst of the -- and host of how to win the podcast,

someone who knows a lot about elections. good morning, senator, welcome to the table! >> let's go! that let's rock 'n roll. >> are not dancing. >> i just dropped the mic for the senator. what is interesting about this moment and i like the way became into this conversation because i want to pick up on what the vice president was saying about your voice being dosed your vote being your voice and your voice is the power that you have. she talks about making progress and i want to ask you whether or not that is something that is finally beginning to resonate with voters. let's take a listen to the vice president on making progress. >> i am not looking to score political points. i am looking to make progress. i pledge to listen to those who will be impacted by the decisions i make. i pledge to listen to experts, to listen to

people who disagree with me. unlike donald trump, i don't believe that people who disagree with me are the enemy! he wants to put them in jail! i will give them a seat at the table!>> with more and more stories coming out of american families communities around the country of women could facing taccone and abortion laws in which their lives are at stake, the politics that donald trump in the last few weeks being more divisive, more ugly, does this idea finally resonate with voters out there as they are going to the polls that this democracy is worth keeping? a president is someone who should lead us and not create fear in us? how do you see her closing message resonating with voters as they are now in the booth? >> i think the fact that she is aspirational and hopeful and positive in saying that we can all get along and i am willing

to listen to people who disagree with me and not sick the military police after them and that is a big deal but the other thing is the closing argument. she says your vote is your voice. underline that is the fact that it is intensely personal and private and what i have been fascinated by is how the trump campaign has reacted to the notion that a woman has a right to go into the ballot box and vote however she wants and never tell anybody. and all of a sudden, they are talking about how dear a woman not vote the way her husband does and how dare a woman lie to her husband about how she is voting. he has given her "a good life. and how dare she not obey what he says" and trump says things like i am going to take review whether you like it or not. they keep stumbling over the fact that women are frankly not going to respond to "you are

our agent." women. men are in charge. in this whole get out the vote, every time covid rips off its shirt, there's another suburban republican woman saying i will not do that. >> if i have to hear macho man one more time in the rally -- there are positive indicators as you are looking at the enthusiasm between democrats and the republicans. that is one indicator. but you had a different indicator that you talked about with me and that is where donald trump is choosing to be >> i think that him going to new mexico is just a head fake. but he has gone to north carolina four times. if you are a republican and you are going to north carolina four times in the last few days of the campaign, you are worried about north carolina and they are

sending him there because their internal is telling them that she is doing better there than i think the polling is showing. >> which you think is about what? >> i think it is more about high percentage of college- educated folks in north carolina, a significant vote of color, much higher than wisconsin. and those are places where she is really distancing herself. and i think, frankly, some of it is they really bumble. i think the hurricane relief stop, people on the ground know they are getting help. people on the ground know that fema has been there. they know. maybe a small percentage of the cold wants to believe some of the conspiracy theories but most militarily and snow that they responded well and it made him look like a liar almost as much as the sun coming up. >> talk about it, now, senator.

what i have been struck by in this entire election particularly since the vice president became talk of the to get, donald trump says, he is talking about his enemies, he is doing all of these things. the harris campaign has been very consistent in the ads that they are running and they are talking about they have done a lot of ads, introducing her to folks, they were delayed the contrast and making sure people see what donald trump has said but she is also talking only about her economic message and i think that is also part of why it is resonating. i want to play a little bit for you. vice president here is on donald trump's sales tax friday in wisconsin. >> his answer to the financial pressures you face is the same as it was last time, another $1 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires and the biggest corporations. and this time, he will pay for it with a 20% national sales

tax on everything you buy that is imported. clothing, food, toys, cell phones, and trump sales tax that would cost the average american family, the economists have measured it, more than 4000 more dollars a year. >> it is getting laser focus on the things americans care about, claire. >> interestingly enough, i think she is also going for some of those swishy republicans with this argument because as i have said a number of times, i think about one third of the people voting for trump don't believe what he says about using the military, against american citizens, about nasty deportation but he can do tariffs without congress. and the more she talks about this in the economic disruption that would occur, elon musk has admitted that there will be a massive economic disruption if

their plans are put into place. he says it will recover and everything will be fine but to most americans, that are voting for trump, they don't believe what he says. they do believe they are going to keep their tax cuts but many are educated and many are wealthy and i think when they start digesting what the economists have said about trump's plans and what it would do to the economy, i think she may be not only appealing to america's families with some of her specific plans but also may be appealing to some of those republicans who don't like trump and they are just voting to keep their taxes cut. >> i think an important part about this stage of the campaign and it is something that the democrats throughout the modern district have been very good at, it is using friends to come in to sort of contextualize the sometimes complicated political narrative. last night, sort of breaking it down for a lot of folks and let's take a quick listen to her in milwaukee, talking about the

conning by donald trump. >> tomorrow, he will be calling you out of your healthcare rights and that is a fact. i want you to hear that again. today with the by my speakers. tomorrow, healthcare, he is going to take it away from you, he is going to it. donald trump talks about he has a concept of a plan but america, the only concept of the plan that he has is a plan to hustle you. >> that has been donald trump's mo from back in the day, in the 1980s new york. it is always about the hustle. and to sort of put that out there, i think, with real voices, it matters at this stage in the game particularly for young voters who are voting for the first time and you are just coming into this process and are trying to contextualize these complicated plants around healthcare. bottom line, he is talking

about sneakers, she is talking about keeping healthcare. >> the sad thing for me, i think the pandemic wiped out people's memory of the first two years of the trump term. i remember it well and i was a united states senator at the time. i remember how hard he tried to work to turn over everything in obamacare from protecting you to pre-existing conditions to letting your kids stay on their plan until they are 26 and he wanted to wipe out all of that but can't disclose. do you know what he did not come close on, building a wall. immigration reform, all of the stuff he is talking about now. he failed and he had a republican congress. he had a republican senate and a republican house and he could not get the wall built and by the way, mexico did not pay a dime. >> what?>>:in 2016, it is like the pandemic wiped out the memory. you were hustled once and now

you're going, sign me up again, i want to be hustled, again! calling me! i am down! >> can i just say that my favorite tweet is from you imagining the staff among the harris campaign and the person who actually works with cardi b, what is she going to say? we we see some remarks? >> it is all right here, baby! >> cardi b will read from that phone. claire here to rip y'all. she preaches i would just like to say that cardi b says she is not going to vote this election and when vice president harris became the top of the ticket, cardi b said she feels like she needs to get engaged and get involved. she is concerned about her health care. something is happening here. >> and we are going to get into that, claire. stick around for it. talk about donald trump's aggressive and very angry, angry closing message. and we will speak with the

massachusetts delegation, representatives, ayanna pressley and warren. yes, you're watching "the weekend" folks. that is what it is.

donald trump is closing his campaign by reminding voters exactly what he is unfit for office in law enforcement is listening, too. the arizona attorney general's office is

now investigating donald trump's violent rhetoric of liz cheney's qualifies as a death threat under state law. on thursday, an event with tucker carlson, trump suggested cheney be such a warthog if she had "guns trained on her face." he doubled down at a campaign stop in michigan. >> if they ever gave her a rifle and let her do the fighting, if you ever do that, she wouldn't be doing to well. 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. >> all of that from the little man with bone spurs. back with clair mccaskill. >> you know, lol for the bone spurs, michael -- i will note that that is a event in michigan where donald trump declined to speak affirmatively

about ending the war in gaza and standing up for the palestinian people to be very cold -- clear, not hamas. don't take that for as you will. donald trump is sitting up on fox, apparently, quadrupling down at this point on what he is saying about liz cheney. and claire, i just have to -- i feel as though people should take donald trump seriously. i don't think that this is gas, if you will or word salad or word vomit. i think even though his thoughts are oftentimes not streamlined, he means what he said. >> yeah, i think people just need to take a step back here and use common sense. the someone with judgment say those kinds of things a few days before a presidential election? does someone with judgment that you want to decide when our

troops go into battle and when they do not, when we line up with the bad guys and when we lineup with our allies that love democracy, do you want that guy to think it is a good idea to talk about that right before an election? it is just at that level, it is so disqualifying. and he is a draft dodger, make no mistake about it. he ran from serving his country and he has shown nothing but disdain for those who have signed up to protect our country. he calls them losers and suckers. and i disagree with him. the people that i saw you running on january the sixth were mostly republicans. in fact, one from missouri ran really fast. ted cruz was hiding in a supply closet. the idea that he thinks that somehow liz cheney would not back up her beliefs about americans strength, was serving

if called upon to serve, he has no basis for that. and by the way, i am not even sure he was talking about that. it sounded to me like he just thought she needed to die. >> there was so much from so many tough men in the republican party. they run, they run really hard and really well. and that is something that i think liz cheney noted in a tweet and response to donald trump. she says 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 penny, then:, cruel and unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. all of this is exactly as she frames it. so why is this race tied? why as we sit here on geo tv weekend, we are looking at a 48- 48 race, topline.

and we can get into what the numbers may really be but at the end of the day, the perception of this race as voters are voting is 48-48. >> here is where i have to give trump his, too. he is a marketer. he knows how to sell stuff. it starts with an s and ends with a t, okay? the point is he is hustling. and he sits back in 2015 that there was a lot of agreement in america. people who work hard and play by the rules and not somehow, they are getting left behind. they could not afford to retire, they could not afford to send their kids to college, they could not afford to go on vacation. he saw those folks and said, i am going to fool them into thinking i am thereby. he is not there guy, he is the billionaire sky. the top 10 billion -- donations equal over $1 billion to his campaign so he is all about

pulling and the rich folks to say i am going to protect your tax cuts, oil companies, i will protect your deals. but conning a lot of folks in america that he is looking out for them and he is a good con man. that is the bottom line. and if you don't believe him and you think your tax cut will be protected or you do believe him and you think somehow going after muslims and mexicans is going to be the promised land for you and your family which of course it is not. >> i called him the pt barnum of american politics. >> that is exactly right. >> and don't forget the puerto ricans who have now -- let's see what jennifer has to say about that. >> i remember growing up thinking, our president cared about me, cared about my parents, cared about my neighbors in my community. not just some americans but all americans. at madison square garden, he reminded us of who he really is

and how he really feels. it wasn't just puerto ricans that were offended that day. it was every latino in this country. it was humanity. and any one of these in character.>> in the -- in the closing days, they are saying this is who we consider real american and this is who we consider not. >> yeah, the madison square garden rally left a mark, it broke through, and i think they know it. he has tried to cleanup on aisle five after the fact but they booked that guy, they knew what he was putting in the teleprompter. they were okay with him calling americans in puerto rico garbage. and it got kind of messed up when biden misspoke and said something he should not have said but it was not kamala harris and it wasn't behind a podium that said trump-vance. and it did break through.

i personally know of people who are from puerto rico, americans who are from puerto rico that have said they have changed their vote because of what happened. >> former senator, i feel like the weekend has really arrived. >> let's go ! there we go is due on tuesday, nbc is the place to be on election night. rachel and the rest of the team for our special election day coverage starting tuesday on msnbc. up next, ayanna pressley is going to join us as she campaigns for the harris-walz ticket. as soon as we wrap up, simone sanders will interview second gentleman, doug emhoff. we will get to air part of that interview tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern. yes, it is a long day. and the rest will air right here starting at 8:00 a.m..

of weeks. and it took you many places within north carolina. can you just bring us into what you are seeing on the campaign trail and what specifically is resonating with voters? >> absolutely. members of our democratic caucus and the congressional black caucus, we have been deployed, barnstorming all of it is critical battleground states and it was wonderful to be on the congressional black caucus institute us and i will just say one of the things i have been most heartened and encouraged by his dad in the past as a surrogate, when i have gone to georgia, i have mostly been in atlanta. when i have gone to pennsylvania, i have mostly been in philadelphia but in the harris-walz campaign, we have stood up in infrastructure throughout the state respectively so we are touching people in meadville, pennsylvania. people in princeville, north

carolina. we are going to erie, pennsylvania. we are going to places where people have not been engaged in a very long time and they are so excited. it lets them know that their vote matters and that they are seen. i am seeing people that are phone banking for the first time in their lives, doorknocking for the first time in their lives, making donations for five dollars and up for the very first time in their lives, traveling out of state for the very first time because they understand how high the stakes are and that the contrast could not be sharper. donald trump and jd vance mean to take us back. they want to control our wombs, our classrooms, our bedrooms, every aspect of our lives and they mean harm to every person that calls this person home. where as kamala harris and tim walz, they are that our freedoms, and the dignity of every worker, every person,

every failing model that calls this country home. i have to say i am experiencing two things out on the trail, one, people are very afraid. they are afraid but they are also hope will in both of those variables have people motivated to do things they have never done before. >> i want to pick up on something you said because i think in some aspects, it has gotten lost in translation and it was brought home at least for me in a very profound way by the ad that a company lebron james' endorsement where there is the visual of the arc of history of jim crow and racism and segregation in the ugliness , you know, the quotes of donald trump saying i hate these people, we should all hate these people, maybe we should bring hate back. and this is from the 1980s and now that is being lived out in his presidential campaign. and you just touched on sort of

this wanting to pull us back into this era. talk about the resistance to that. because i think, i think it runs deeper than folks may realize in this campaign. not just for what we see around abortion and reproductive health and things like that but even more broadly where i think americans and your being on the ground, i am wondering if you are seeing and hearing some of this, just a point where we go, wait a minute, hold up, like lebron said, what are we talking about here? are we really prepared to do that? do you sense that in these final hours of the campaign that folks are really resisting this portal back to nara where we are livening up jim crow for god sake? >> absolutely and again recognizing that the harris- walz ticket, we are the underdogs and we know that and

that is why we are doing everything to earn the trust and confidence in the votes of as many people as possible in what i am experiencing on the ground is that for those people who are latebreaking in their decision, they are breaking to kamala harris and tim walz given the stakes that we just enumerated here, people do not want to go backwards. one of the stops we had during the congressional black caucus institute bus tour was in greensboro north carolina where we went to the civil rights museum there and we were very honored to touch the lunch counter that launched us into an incredible movement of the segregated lunch counters throughout the country thanks to these four brave young black men and it is such a reminder that we are on the precipice of going back again to jim crow and then some. and i do see, feel and hear on the ground that people understand that and they do not want to go back but moreover, that they understand that they deserve more from a president that someone who

wants to normalize a school shooting, someone who wants to eliminate head start, someone who doesn't -- who wants to deny women the agency over their very bodies. in many ways, the women of this country are given a march towards a nationwide ban on abortion and nation of forced birth. we are talking about normalizing the slow death of women. doctors are rendered helpless and unable to help them in a case of an emergency. a nation where we have a black maternal morbidity crisis, a nation of forced birth where we have no universal childcare or no paid leave. people want more and they know they deserve more. what i am seeing failing on the ground is for those who are latebreaking decision, they know that kamala harris is qualified. she is poised and she is ready. and they also recognize this because

perfection is never on the ballot. but in this moment, everything is on the line. our democracy is on the line, our fundamental freedoms and she knows dose they know she will be a partner they can hold accountable, as well. >> ayanna pressley, thank you very much for your time this morning. it is good to see you. >> up next, democrats need to weigh five house seats to take back the speaker's gavel. the chair of the congresswoman is here and after a quick break, you will get the skinning on what is going on. on. and stripping your skin. i use new olay cleansing melts every day. just soak, activate and wash. to clean, tone and refresh. that's a 3x better clean. olay. right now across the u.s., people are trying to ban books from public schools and public libraries.

speaker mike johnson is reminding us of what is at stake if republicans hold the house majority next week. just yesterday, johnson says that republicans would attempt to repeal one of president biden's

signature achievements, the bipartisan shifts in science at.>> the former president says that he doesn't support the chips and science at. will you guys try to repeal that law?>> i expect that we probably will but we have not developed that part of the agenda yet. >> to be very clear, a move like that could/thousands of american jobs including a job specifically, thousands and thousands of jobs specifically coming to new york state where johnson was campaigning for republican candidate. so it did not take long for johnson to try to walk back his remarks claiming that he misheard the question. joining us now, susan of washington state, the chair of the democratic congressional campaign committee >> i want to focus on the

stakes of these races and we will talk about the arts. i know you have to be focused on your role. let's take a listen to what speaker johnson has said about this in the past and what it is that he is saying now. take a listen. >> we want to take a blowtorch to the regulatory state. okay? these agencies have been weaponized thing it's people, crushing the market, it is like a boot on the neck of job creators and risk takers.>> no obamacare? >> no obamacare. daca is so deeply ingrained that we need massive reform to make this work and we have a lot of ideas. >> kamala harris seter -- set herself i want to repeal the asa. what we are talking about is lowering the cost of healthcare for people. to protect and expand access to care and the quality of care. every member of congress should be for that. this is what people in a

flailing campaign do. >> it looks like he got some overnight focus groups and let him know how popular obamacare is. remind us of the stakes of this election not just at the top of the ticket but all the way down.>> no, thank you for having me. the stakes are high. as you heard from mike johnson, republicans want to take away from affordable healthcare and republicans want to repeal policies that help workers and families and democrats want to strengthen and grow the middle class. and of course, republicans want stricter abortion rights and democrats want to make sure we put in place the protections of roe versus wade. that is what is at stake this election. we know from talking to voters on the ground, they are very concerned about the chaos, the dysfunction in the extremism we have seen from house republicans and they want governments to work, they want

people who are going to stand up for their rights and their freedoms and for our democracy. and that is why i know from traveling across the country that when we get our message out, we went back and we are working hard to do that all across the country, all the way up until the polls close on tuesday. >> congresswoman, how impacted our republican candidates in the races that you are watching to get the majority back by moments that we just saw where we have the speaker sort of out there gladhanding and supporting a candidate for congressional seat. just a direct question. we are getting rid of the chips at and the candidate is standing there looking like, no, that is not what we are doing in my backyard.

you know how many jobs we created in my district by the chips at and what was the candidate's response at that moment? like i am going to be the speakers here telling him, no, i am going to be the voice telling him, no. how often do you see this type of tension on the ground that is exploitable because it really is a weird moment that the speaker or any other leader of the party is coming in with his national branding from donald trump in the republican party saying we are going to blow up everything in your backyard as a candidate there on the ground saying, can you do that in someone else's backyard because i cannot afford the holes in the ground, here. >> he is not just a candidate but a sitting republican member of congress who voted for mike johnson speaker who is in a position that we would see jobs impacted in new york if

republicans are in charge. so it is important to listen to what they are saying. i know they are trying to change the story, now, but we have an incredible candidate right there, john and he is doing an incredible job. he will stand up for jobs in new york. he will stand up for his community and he is making sure making investments to grow the economy. this is what republicans, their message is, to take us back. our message is to take us forward. we have great candidates even in these purple districts across the country who are going to help our country move forward. >> congresswoman, in the time we have left, the economy is front and center provokes all across this country and in all of your identified target races. abortion is also playing a key role. we are not going to put it up on the screen but there is no reporting from republican that talks about another woman,

candace bales, who died, a teenager who died in texas because she was first diagnosed with strep throat and come to find out, she screamed positive for sepsis a second time. she went to the doctor and they said she had to wait for an ultrasound. and she is dead. she died because of the rules on the books in texas. and there are many house races across the country where this is the same situation. just various different stories of the same type of thing that we are seeing. the economy and abortion, is this how democrats are going to win back the house? >> the economy and affordability is a huge issue in reproductive freedom is a huge issue across the country and it is on the ballot in many states on tuesday, as well. we have seen in special election after special election

since november of 2022, abortion has been on the ballot and people have turned out in large numbers to support reproductive freedom in kansas, in ohio, in virginia, in wisconsin and even alabama. so we have incredible opportunities here to move our country in a different direction. we know where republicans want to put in place a national abortion ban and we have democrats running across the country who are going to stand up to reproductive freedom and are also going to stand up to make sure we build an economy that works for everyone to address issues on affordability that families are struggling with, who are listening to their communities and are going to come to washington dc to govern. that is why we are in such a strong position. we know we have close races across the country so we are working hard. i am in nebraska now. we are working hard to turn out most all across the country because we know when we get our message

out, the american people are with us. we win and jeffries will be the next speaker of the house. >> real quick before we go, just the first race on tuesday night that will tell you where this race is going. >> there's a bunch and i don't think i can take just one. i think we have incredible opportunities. we have four seats we could take back the majority. we picked up one in february so we will be watching to make sure we keep the seats we have in swing districts and pick up seats all across the country and we have races in new york and california but also here in nebraska and iowa, alabama, arizona, michigan, pennsylvania, all around the country. we have great opportunities and we are working hard to win every single one of these races.>> thank you so much. >> the congresswoman is in nebraska, right now. go big red. >> nebraska girl representing.
