9:00 am
recognize that they are not going to get the most votes in their county, but will leave no stone unturned, and were carrying kamala harris's message about an economy that works for everybody, that an america where we don't have to spend every day hating each other, and where we can focus on solving problems, taking that message to doors. donald trump, on the other hand, has his entire field operation being run by whatever elon musk is doing, throwing people in the back of vance, treating them like they should not be treated. so, i am confident with the energy i am seeing. i was just at a huge rally breakfast this morning. people are ready. people know what is on the line and we will win. >> malcolm, good to see you again, as always, democratic state representative, malcolm kenyatta of pennsylvania. remember, kamala harris's free election night event will be at the philadelphia museum of art.
9:01 am
that does it for me. katie phang picks up coverage right now. i'm katie phang live from nbc headquarters in new york te city. with just three days to go until election day it's all gasi and no breaks for vice president kamala harris and donald trump as both campaigns try to reach as many voters as they can in these final hours. right now we are keeping an eye on north carolina where donald trump is holding an event. also this hour in florida, hillary clinton is stumping for vice president harris who herself is holding a series of events later today and the important battleground states of georgia and north carolina. advocates are hitting the
9:02 am
campaign trails across the country. the latest early voting numbers show over 70 million people have already cast their ballots. with this race as tight as it seems, every vote still counts. joining me now i have more barrett in green bay, wisconsin at an early voting site. it's good to see you. this is one of the last chances for early voting in that state.i what are you hearing on the ground from voters? >> reporter: early voting in wisconsin has broken records compared to the last two presidential elections. about a third of all active voters have already dropped off their ballot or voted in person. that is something that people are really energized here. people are really looking to get ahead of not having to wait in line on tuesday but also really looking to make their voices heard and make sure their ballots get counted in an expedited way. what i'm hearing in green bay, i
9:03 am
it's one of those key suburban counties both campaigns are looking to harness in on. i met a man in jared who did not vote in 2016. he voted for joe biden in 2020 and now he's planning on voting for donald trump in 2024. that's the type of order that is really interesting in this part of wisconsin. a suburban counties went for trump in 2020 but biting have chipped away at the margin. that's why the campaigns have harnessed in their organizing. i was at an event for kamala harris yesterday. she asked everybody in the crowd if they had voted and she seemed overwhelmed when most everyone in the crowd raise their hand and cheered that they had their vote in already. wisconsin is a very tight battleground. both campaigns acknowledging it will come down to the ground game. i'm going to get a sense of theh early voters at the harris campaign tells me based on internal data they have seen a really good spike in numbers from young voters. that's an area that has really
9:04 am
pushed democratic wins in recent elections. that is something both campaigns through the weekends sending out surrogates and your knockers to be sure they are getting every last vote. >> thank you for joining us and getting us started. recently i had the chance to sit with south florida voters of all political stripes. we discussed a wide variety of important issues in the election including abortion, the economy, gun safety, crime and change, disinformation and more. despite the conventional ti political punditry, florida may not be as red as some folks believe. there's a chance that voters could be surprised by the results tuesday night. our candid conversation offered a valuable inside look at what many may be thinking as they cast their votes for two radically different futures for our country. take a listen. as you sit here today why are you undecided about who to vote
9:05 am
for? >> i have not done my due diligence figuring out why i want to vote for who. most of my information has come from social media. i know that can be skewed so i want to take my time to figure out who is actually the most beneficial for me and people who look like me. wh i am haitian so how will that affect family coming in or will we have to go back? >> what do you think about the fact that donald trump and j.d. vance have said that haitians in springfield are eating cats and dogs. >> i had this conversation with someone because when i was younger they used to say this about haitians in miami. i'm trying to sift through the theatrics and get down to what will benefit the people. >> abby, you remain undecided as well. why is that? >> i feel like as a young voter i should have the access to go and do my research and watch
9:06 am
all the debates, do my own research on exactly what it is each candidate wants to go for and what i want to see in my community. >> this will be our first time voting? when you say that you need to read up, there's a concern about disinformation being spread places like social media. >> yes there is. >> so what do you do to glean the truth out of what could be misinformation. >> i don't like to only source my news from social media because it's something a lot of young people to pick they are quick to read a headline and then they will run with that. i feel like it is really important to delve into the certain things you want to know about whether it is immigration, healthcare, education. those things are all really ll important. >> you are a veteran. i want to thank you for your service straight out of the gate. you were the only one to raise your hand to indicate you are going to vote for trump. did you vote for trump in 2016?
9:07 am
>> i did. >> did you vote for trump in 2020. >> as a veteran retired general mike millie has said that donald trump is a fascist and he and others would not actually serve donald trump if he were to get into the oval office. does that give you any concerns that trump says that veterans are losers or suckers if they are prisoners of war? >> that does not bother me. >> during his term he did not start any wars or do any major deployments. to me, i think there's a lot of hyperbole and people that like to take it and run from the other side. i look at what he did and i don't think he hurt the country. i hthink overall the military was fine. i thought he was respectful often times when he spoke to our troops. you can't judge someone based off one or two statements. to me it does not bother me. it's not that i'm a trumpster.
9:08 am
i want to make that clear. i believe -- i'm a republican. i believe in individual rights. i want nothing to do with anything that smells like socialism. those are some of my reasons and he is donald trump. i don't look to him for moral guidance. i look at him as a business as manager. we need to run this country like a business. >> lindsay, you have a nine- year-old daughter. you live in florida as we all do. is there a concern as to whether or not donald trump would be able to institute a national abortion been. >> the reason i would never support it is i believe he's taken away individual rights. to have reproductive healthcare. the idea that ivf could be completely gone for so many of o my friends that had to use it to to have children is terrifying.
9:09 am
i know the story of a 12-year- old who had to be flown out because her husband raped her and she did not know she was pregnant at six weeks. there are so many issues we could discuss that terrify me but the fact that a woman could not control her own body is dangerous. >> keith, what is interesting about you is you voted for donald trump in 2016. you voted for joe biden in 2020 and you are voting for kamala harris pick kenny briefly explain why you are is a you voted for donald trump and then change course. >> i felt he was really strong. i was at them at the time but i felt like republicans were moving in a way that was powerful and i liked that. i've gotten to know them a lot better and realized that he is a narcissist and as far as camila i felt that black women have saved america so many times over the years and never got their fair opportunity.
9:10 am
i think this is a great opportunity for us to show love to a black woman and actually give a black woman the opportunity to have that presidency for the first time. >> david, you say that you are voting for kamala harris, but something that you mentioned was the fact that you miss the old days of just true policy debates where it wasn't so vitriolic. it wasn't so divided in the way that we approach politics. do you feel like the divisiveness is coming from external factors or do you really think it is a product of the personality of donald trump clashing with the personality of kamala harris. >> i think the divisiveness comes from external sources as well as internal sources. there's a lot of menacing characters in the world that n are usable is utilizing social media and any other weapon they can pick up to inflict damage to america. it is so apparent. i think it
9:11 am
is almost universally understood. donald trump, he's the asset that makes it worse. i have never imagined that i would be faced with the possibility that here we are on the eve of an election and there's even a remote possibility that he could be th allowed into a position of authority in our government again. for me the defining moment was january 6. it's a watershed moment for me. i'm one of the most gettable votes for a republican. i'm sitting in the center part of this panel for a reason. i am there. what i saw on january 6 with my own eyes was unacceptable. i watched for those four hours, donald trump turned his back on the constitution and turn his back on the survival of our country is a democracy. he did everything he could to stop the certification of that vote. he ginned up the game -- gang
9:12 am
and fomented it. he should not be given remote control of the television. he should have no authority over anything in anybody's life. that's where i break. >> abby, as you sit here and take stock of what you are hearing, you are about to go to college. it is expensive to go to college. is that something that you g think about, the future of you financially and economically if you are trying to get an education. >> it is something that i think about a lot especially because college and being able to get a higher education used to be way cheaper than it is now. i i think about it in a way of, if it's like this now i can imagine in the future when i have kids how expensive it will be for them to be able to elevate their education. that is something i do not think should be that expensive. i want to go to school and
9:13 am
become a lawyer. it will be very expensive for me to do that and with student loan relief it would be an amazing opportunity. my parents are immigrants. i don't have a crazy big bank behind me for my education. i should not have to lower my standards just because i don't have the money to pay for it. >> after the break we will have more of my conversation with these south florida voters. later, vote your conscience. robert de niro gives his closing arguments and why he says kamala harris is the answer america needs. that is next. that is next.
9:14 am
9:15 am
9:16 am
9:17 am
with the fate of issues like gun violence, climate change, and abortion rights on the table, voters will choose between two radically different visions for our country. how have the candidates measured up and making their pitches? here is more of our voter panel. keith, do you think there has been enough outreach from the campaigns to the african- american community? is there a forgotten community? do you think there has been enough in terms of the outreach from the campaigns to reach the people? >> not at all. trump has tried to reach some of the youth. that was smart on his behalf but unfortunately this is the things that
9:18 am
frustrate me with the dems is that you can hand it to them and they will still try to figure out something else that is not going to work. they are doing a horrible job of reaching out to the youth and leaving out a lot of young folks and allowing them to stay at home and not be engaged. i think they can reach a little bit deeper like you said and do a little bit more for the african-american community to show here is that connection. >> lindsay, gun violence prevention is a huge part. it is something that is not talked about as much lately. >> i have worked on the gun violence issue for many years. i have pulled back my volunteer efforts because i realize that until we elect the right officials who want to put in smart legislation that nothing will change. gun violence is the number one killer right now of children.
9:19 am
it does not mean we have to take away guns. i understand the second amendment. i come from an nra backed father has a very big gun owner but the fact that my child has to worry that she will be murdered when she goes to school and the fact that i have to worry about that everyday is disgusting. there's so much we can do to make the community safer with smart gun reform. unfortunately for me the republican party has proved time and time again they will vote the way the nra and other gun lobby's point them so that is a nonstarter for me. >> you are a veteran. does that factor into your decision when you think about the president see -- presidency, when you think about gun violence prevention and common sense legislation? >> i am a gun owner. i'm not worried. it does not mean that i don't care about human life. let's get this really clear. the bad guys have always got the guns whether they steal them or import them from mexico or china.
9:20 am
there are a lot of gunowners who educate their children on gun safety. i think that as parents we need to be responsible. if i leave a gun out that is loaded, thank god i don't have children but a small child picks it up and hurts themselves or someone else or kills himself it is on me. the parent needs to be judged. >> one topic that is also not being talked about but is an important one is the climate. i know that is something that is top of mind for you. why is it so important for you to vote for kamala harris as you are going to do when it comes to climate issues. >> we have one guy who mocks it. i have to suspect that he's just full of baloney because the science is so clear on what this is. whether or not human activity contributes to it, whether or not it's the only cause of it
9:21 am
who cares. the bottom line is we need to mitigate it. it's causing mass migration around the world that is only going to get worse. we have to do things that pull us away from the causes of it and you have one party that is committed to that idea and another one who really mocks it. when you are private with them behind closed doors they acknowledge that it is true. >> jonathan, you are nodding your head when you listen to this. you have a child. you have a baby girl. when you think about the future and you are hearing stuff like this does that give you something to think about? >> for sure. a lot of people, the whole idea and the talk about climate change, when you really think about what is happening to the earth, i am thinking about my daughter. i'm thinking of hurricanes and how the scape of her environment will be. >> abby, one thing i think is important for us to talk about
9:22 am
his reproductive rights and the idea that you are 18 years old. you have your life ahead of you. does that way in for you as you think about what you want to vote for? >> that is definitely a big one for me. i am an ivf baby. when i think about women's reproductive rights, having to think about what my mom had to go through to be able to have me is something, some people daydream about wanting to become a mother from a really young age. the thought that in the future if something happens and they are able to do it and they have the option of ivf but the government takes it away, that is something that is really not fair. in the case of rape abortion , they had something forced on them you will force them to have the baby of somebody that
9:23 am
committed such a cruel act is something that is really not fair. >> lindsay, the economy is something we all talk about all the time. it's not just limited to a community of color. it affects all americans but what are you considering when it comes to substantive economic plans? >> the real estate industry is the biggest challenge we need to face. it is pretty impossible to buy a home anymore. it is pretty hard for me to even consider here. you think about the fact that many institutions have come out and said that the tariff plan would add $3900 a year and cost of families. there's a lot of detail that his concept of plans have not mapped out. >> when it comes to obtaining information are you looking beyond certain sources? >> absolutely. i look at bbc, i look at the
9:24 am
russian, i look at arabic. i'm just saying understanding opposing points of view. all of you have made very good points. what i am afraid of this whole thing is that, again, i go back to the polarization. i don't know that i'm going to change anybody's mind today but i know one thing. i love my country. i'm honored to have defended it. >> of very big thank you for taking the time to share their thoughts. still to come, superstar artist john legend joins me from ohio to share his thoughts on what is at stake on to say and why he is stumping to send democrats back to dc. first, state of play. fernando will join me next to
9:25 am
break down everything which heard from those south florida voters and the chances for the possibility of afflict florida after tuesday's big vote. keep it right here.
9:26 am
9:27 am
9:28 am
shopify's point of sale system helps you sell at every stage of your business. with fast and secure payment. card readers you can rely on.
9:29 am
and one place to manage it all. whatever the stage, businesses that grow grow with shopify. >> do you want to see me knock the out of people backstage ? >> i see the promise of america and everyone who is here. and all of you. in all of us. we are the promise of america. >> i get so angry. i might be seething. i am working myoff with this stupid mike. >> in the selection we have an opportunity to finally turn the page on a decade of donald trump trying to keep us divided and afraid of each other. >> the contrast could not be clearer. with both campaigns making the final pitches in doling milwaukee rallies. where do things stand on this
9:30 am
last weekend before the most consequential election of our lifetime. joining me is fernando. our analyst. i know you watched that. i want to get your reaction to what you heard. i've been communicating with people on social media this morning. i get there frustrations when they see someone that could possibly remain undecided even if you just watch that 15 seconds of donald trump versus what you get from kamala harris. >> that was quite the compilation. what a contrast. i think as your focus group made clear, a lot of americans simply have their viewpoints and they are in essence somewhat immune to the last minute stuff. i thought the republican gentleman who said i'm not looking for trump to be any kind of a moral authority. i'm making my decisions on the basis of what i think is right
9:31 am
to the country he's not going to react to that unhinged madness. by contrast, you see the power of some of these issues whether it is restoring reproductive freedom rights for women, the january 6 issue which one of your panelists mentioned over and over again. these are the types of considerations that voters are making as they wait to vote or have already made casting balance. it is going to be a close election. the polls continue to show that. even that early vote numbers are showing that. we will find out in less than 72 hours with the verdict of the american people is. >> i do love you but i don't love poles. i don't want to rely on them because you don't know at this time. there's some information you can get to let's manage some expectations. we are not going to know unless it is a huge, wide margin on tuesday night who has won this
9:32 am
election. >> you are right. it's unlikely that we will know tuesday unless, for example, florida. u.s. the question is florida in play. we do see signs in some states especially on the east coast florida, georgia, north carolina that kamala harris has shocked the world. we will know because once those states get taken off the table for the trump campaign the math becomes a possible -- impossible and the electoral vote counts become impossible but some of these come down to the wire or will be decided by maybe a few tens of thousands of votes. we won't have that verification probably a couple of days similar to what we saw in 2020. >> there has been a number of what i'm calling for stairs on the part of the trump campaign. for example the violent rhetoric against liz cheney.
9:33 am
the racist rhetoric at madison square garden and trump doing his relative sex act on a microphone. when you consider what i just read out to you and you listen to that voter panel of those south florida voters, there seems to be a firmly entrenched group of people that are on the right that are just not even going to be concerned about what they see and hear from trump. is there a chipping away that happens even in this last 11th hour? is there a chipping away that does happen when people are like, i just can't deal with that anymore? >> the answer to the question is yes. there has been evidence already of these latebreaking undecided voters. those that are not really following the process but are starting to tune in now as we get to the final hours before the ballots are finally cast, i think the feeling is that whether it was the hate rally at madison square garden or just the trump chaos which has
9:34 am
been the defining characteristic of donald trump in addition to the fascism. these latebreaking voters are probably saying, i am just done with this. let's go with the new direction. that is certainly what the harris campaign is not only counting on but what they say they see in their internal numbers. i do think that will be a factor, especially for those who have not quite yet decided what will be doing so during the course of today, tomorrow, monday or tuesday. >> you have the ability to look at the races prior to this one. over 70 million people have voted. what does that tell you in terms of what is left between now and tuesday. we see the stumping, we see the rallying, we see the campaign efforts from both trump and harris. do you think we will have numbers that will far exceed anything we have seen before. >> i do. if you look at the degree of the early voting enthusiasm.
9:35 am
in the case of georgia alone more people have voted early and almost all voted in the entire 2020 cycle. that is just one microcosm. we see this push all around the country. i think americans do understand mistakes. we've never had a clear choice for what the country can go down. we can go down the path of the founding fathers, 248 years of freedom, democracy and the constitution or a completely different turn towards an authoritarian fascist day one dictator project as trump himself has maintained over and over again. that's why you see so many people turning out in record numbers. i think we will shatter those numbers when the voting is clear after tuesday night. >> and your hope that people will not but against their self- interest. thank you for joining us. always good to see you. >> coming up next, fighting
9:36 am
fascism. my conversation with robert de niro on why we should believe trump when he says he will be a dictator on day one and what it means to be a patriot even in the face of intense political intimidation. keep it right here. leo! he's there when we wake up, he's there when we leave, he's there whenever we come back home from school, he's just there always. mash it up doofus. ever since we introduced him to the farmer's dog, his quality of life has been forever changed. he prefers real, human-grade food. it's... ...like real food! it is! he's a happy dog now. he's a happy, happy dog. he's a happy, happy, happy dog! have you compared your medicare plan recently?

9:39 am
it is no secret that legendary actor robert romero
9:40 am
at the robert de niro happens to be one of trump fiercest critters -- critics. after that racist and horrible event at madison square garden i spoke to him about having it in his city. we also discussed having trump back in the oval office and why he thinks kamala harris is the only answer for america. >> you recently just went to a rally in pennsylvania, a battleground state. why was it so important for you to not rely on somebody else's voice but to use your own to share why you think kamala harris is the right decision. >> because it is important. this is the moment of truth. i can't sit by and allow this to happen so wherever i can contribute to a positive ending
9:41 am
to this whole thing i am going to try my best to do that. >> why is kamala harris the answer? >> she's the only answer at this point obviously. she happens to be a great answer. with all the misinformation, disinformation nonsense that the trump campaign is trying to do to discredit her, it is a shame because certain people in certain parts of the country they only hear what he says or soundbites. they do not hear the truth. i say, so many people are so passionate on his side and our side but i have to say there's a difference. he's a criminal. kamala harris is not a criminal. joe biden is not part of the crime family. he knows that and i'm sure a lot of people with him know that especially the republicans that
9:42 am
are supposed to defend this country and oppose him. they know that. it's a disgrace. >> one of the greatest attributes of kamala harris is her role as a prosecutor. she has been hitting the campaign trail, prosecuting the case against donald trump. >> this is not a candidate for president that is thinking about how to make your life better. this is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power. >> she is also out there making the case for the idea what she brings to the table. why is kamala harris for america the answer on how to move forward? >> because she's doing what's right. she's doing the right thing.
9:43 am
it's that simple. people make mistakes here and there but she is going in the right direction. everybody knows that no matter what you say you disagree with her, you vote for trump, she is going in the right direction. we have no choice. if you care about this country, you care about sanity, you have to vote for her. you have to. that's it, end of story. >> we also heard from trump saying that anybody who opposes him is the enemy within. >> when i say the enemy from within the other side goes crazy , how can he say? they have done very bad things to this country. they are indeed the enemy from within but this is who we are fighting. >> he's talking about himself. he is the enemy within. he's
9:44 am
projecting. everything he says gets back to intimidation. that is the key. intimidation. people cannot be intimidated by him. they have to stop and think. that's why it's so important. the washington post, he should have said, i look up to him that he will make the right decision, especially in his position, >> jeff bezos. >> everybody is taking a chance by doing this but you have to. i you going to live under this guy be in the president? >> we have seen what happens when he has the office. >> it's craziness. insanity. >> trump says, i will be a dictator on day one. >> he is telling everybody. >> are people listening? >> i hope they are really listening. >> what is your closing argument to those annex likable -- inexplicable voters that are
9:45 am
undecided. >> there has to be no doubt. beyond pushing in the direction of kamala harris, but that to me is what it means. if you have a doubt about what your decision should be, look at what trump has done and look at what she can do. look who he is for, for himself. look what she says she is for and she is for, for the american people. she is there for a reason. >> it is a do or die moment for america. doing the right thing. >> do the right thing. people know they have to stop and think for a minute when they are alone, voting, and nobody knows but them to do the right thing. >> nobody will know who you vote for and that anonymity as absurd as it sounds would protect you from any type of backlash you would get. >> even if your spouse or significant other is going to
9:46 am
vote and feels very strongly for him, just do what you have to do and they don't have to know but you have to vote your conscience. >> my thanks again to robert de niro for joining me. coming up, hometown hero grammy award-winning musician and springfield, ohio, native john legend joins me from the campaign trail making the case to battleground voters about just how much their ballot matters in a vote that could tip the scales. in people 60 years and older. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache and joint pain. arexvy is number one in rsv vaccine shots.
9:47 am
rsv? make it arexvy.

9:50 am
>> they are poisoning the blood of america. what he is saying is, the ideal version of america is a in america. any time brown people infiltrate america they are messing up the blood of america. they are messing up the gene pool of america. that takes us back to hitler. i just can't imagine, it couldn't be me, a black man voting for somebody who believes so deeply that blackman are inferior to him. >> as an asian american woman it couldn't and it won't be me either. joining me from his home state of ohio is emmy, grammy, oscar,
9:51 am
antonio winning superstar john legend. it's an honor to have you on the show. you've been very vocal about trump after his comments about haitians eating cats and dogs. we heard similar remarks last sunday. how disgusted are you with trump and the gop blatant continued dehumanization of immigrants? >> of course it's disgusting. it's not shocking in the sense that we have seen so much of this from donald trump for such a long time. his entire career in public life he has been spewing hatred and division, particularly targeting people of color as somehow tainting the american blood and american gene pool. really frankly very nazi related rhetoric, eugenic related rhetoric. it's really hateful and
9:52 am
