alex wagner is a contributing your for the "the atlantic." john heileman, the host of the podcast hell and high water. alex, let me begin with you. i know jared kushner has been on the campaign trail with donald trump because donald trump has referred to him being with him from time to time. not sure if he was with him in nebraska. but it did seem like the buses were a jared kushner production yesterday. if it compares to the way he's handled everything else in the white house. >> well, we'll know it's a jared kushner production if jared kushner indeed had a warm and heated bus that expedited his return back to a warm and safe hotel room. because that's jared kushner's playbook. i think a lot of the country listens to donald trump on the campaign trail and wonders how is it possible that the president of the united states can lie so flagrantly to the american public as they see the reality of a global pandemic unfolding before their very eyes. we have seen 227,000 american bodies put in the ground. and yet the president is able to drum up a fo

>> tonight david plough and alex wagner on the obama event and where the race stands heading into theinal debate. >>> plus, donald trump's former attorney michael cohen on the corruption coming from inside the white house and what is happening with trump's current attorney. >> now the idiot borat is going after me with a totally sensationalized, false account of a ridiculous movie i guess that he has done. >> and senator bernie sanders on a potential deal on a rescue plan and why americans are increasingly supporting the biden agenda when "all in" starts right now. ♪ >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. we have a lot to get to tonight. >>> first, breaking news and i am a bit flummoxed about the content of the news. less than 30 minutes ago the director of national intelligence, john ratcliffe, former republican congressman, very controversial. he ascended to the position recently after dinged once and not able to get the job. so john ratcliffe and fbi director chris wray announced that iran and russia have, in ratcliffe's words, taken specific actions to influence public o

joining us now, alex wagner, executive producer of the showtime series "the circus."th us, lauren lopez. i had this epiphany as i was watching the world series last night as i saw that ad. first it, shows the cash advantage that biden has right now, but also answers the question of what's joe biden doing? he's taking these days off the campaign trail to prepare for the debate. well, he's presenting this stark contrast with the president, who is out there, your show is called "the circus." joe biden is running against the circus right now. and i think trying to provide that chaos. and if the president wants to be out there with this mayhem tour, so be it. >> yeah, i mean, it is a study in contrast, also known as a view into the parallel universe where reason, logic, and science prevail, john. but the reality is, you know, the president, we look at these closing days and say, oh, each campaign has a strategy. joe biden most certainly has a strategy and is executing on that strategy. the idea that president trump has somehow hatched a multi-pronged plan to make a closing

i've seen in interviews with alex wagner for "the circus" and interviews with you that aired on thissterday that is a civil war is on the table for these armed militia group orsanic terroris o domestic terrorist, whatever we're calling them. >> i think the fbi is into this deeply, in doing this story. in trying to find people we were going to interview, a lot of them were disappearing because the fbi was taking down their websites or visiting them in person. the thing that we do need to talk about it, and you mentioned alex wagner, a loft times these groups are libertarian. eddie glaude was talking about this. the president has come out when these cities shut down and make you wear masks, this is about your liberties. and that is what is adding to the support that these armed groups have. and when you add the coronavirus into the equation, it's like a super -- it's a super way of recruiting new members, because people are out of work, and they believe in these liberties that the president talks to them about. and all of it gets jumbled up. and here we are six days before an election.

>> you know, i got to say, alex wagner interviewed him for the show for this sunday.i, suddenly, think that osoff's got a better chance to win the senate than a lot of other conventional senate races around the country. i think he is a real legitimate shot now. >> on the circus, make sure you watch sunday night on show time. thank you, gentlemen. so you think georgia can go blue, ron? you really think? >> yeah. i mean, it's right on the tipping edge but it's the same story as everywhere, don. i mean, the metros. you can draw a belt way around every big city in the country and, inside of it, democrats are consolidating and that is the price trump imposed on his party. >> in atlanta, inside the perimeter and outside the perimeter. tale of two cities, tale of two worlds. appreciate it. we'll be right back. it's either the assurance of a 165-point certification process. or it isn't. it's either testing an array of advanced safety systems. or it isn't. it's either the peace of mind of a standard unlimited mileage warranty. or it isn't. for those who never settle, it's eith

isolationism and xenophobio and now you have white supremacists doing interviews with john's colleague alex wagner so brazen. it would seem that the work, and again we don't know how the election will turn out, but should trump lose, should republicans lose, a lot of those supporters are still out there and there some ways they could be more dangerous without an organizer. >> well, and i think part of the challenge is not only are a lot of them still out there, there will still be a lot of them in the house and the senate. because the people who don't lose will be there and the question is what they do. and i'm not talking about, i mean there is a very sort of narrow window of people any more who are even moderates. but i mean there are group of republicans in the trenches in elected office that would have to be removed, too. especially in these solidly republican directs. and what you see is that in those districts, and house seats you actually have the more moderate candidates running against that right and it is really tough to beat them there. so i don't know what the strategy is. but i do bel

. >> let's bring in the co-host of showtime's the circus and writer for the atlantic, alex wagner ands was a stunning -- your stunning, your interviews are all stunning but this was stunning on every level. talk about what we didn't see there and anything that happened after camera. they really opened up to you. >> they did. i feel like there was a real -- wei we talk about the legacy of trumpism and what happens if trump is not re-elected. i think the judiciary is an our where we'll feel the effects of trump after he's no longner office. but i think what he's done culturally to this country, the after effects will be profound and the militia driving that home. there is a subset that has given up on the institutions and rule of law. they get their information from the dark corners of the web. they are living in a world of mend asity and misinformation and how we bring them back is an open question. they are the far end of the spectrum. but that is the paranoia has infected a large part of the republican party. >> and you write -- as not all on the dark side of the web. some of it on t
