he's been attacking trump voters and trump for years.cutors have been going after trump in court. just about a week ago biden said we've got to lock up trump. jail trump. now today, former president trump is responding. here is this. listen. >> j joe finally said what hed kamala really think of our supporters. he called them garbage. >> booooo. >> and they mean it. even though without question, my supporters are far-higher quality than crooked joe or lying kamala. >> [applause] >> my response to joe and kamala is very simple. you can't lead america if you don't love americans. liz: joining us auto workers for trump leader and first to you, p ray. when you heard a sitting president say this , that half the nation 80 million trump voters are garbage, what was your reaction? >> well initially, i thought to talk about the fact that we call him pro joe because he is the a failed president and legislator but then i thought we could just keep it simple and give him a really quick chicago public school response, which is, yo momma. next question

trump is in to the end.nd indeed, he was, and who helped him see that through none other than steve bannon. so i come away from this filing with a new appreciation for potentially why steve bannon was so eager to avoid the subpoena that tim and his colleagues served on him with respect to the january 6th committee and for which he was then convicted of contempt of congress for avoiding. he was all over this thing in ways that were always rumored for perhaps not fully detailed until this filing. >> you're a student of the steve bannon arc of power. i guess in and out of alleged criminality to the degree that he's, i think he gets one of the last pardons of the last hours of the trump presidency for the crimes he's charged with in connection with lying to trump supporters about building a wall unrelated to january 6th. but is she in jail? sentenced or convicted of contempt. i guess willingness is the right word, eagerness to push everyone sort of a political woodchiper is one of the stories of this up to and i

trump had his tv shows. he was very close friends with some major hollywood producers and had always aspired to be a hollywood producer himself. at one point he thought about going to film school. so he is somebody who has always had one foot in the broader real estate and business, but also in the world of media. and they approached him about founding this media company and this was right after trump got down to mar-a-lago. they started his brainstorming ideas for different shows that trump could have or different media ventures he could have. if it was a paula deen cooking show or a golf show with tiger woods. and they started hatching out this plan and there were some conservative stars, who at different points, got involved and they were, at the same time, competing with another social media company that was also trying to appeal to conservatives. but what the formation of truth social and the story of the book shows is so much about how trump does business, how he does dealmaking. some of the struggles

trump would score another economic win two years later. i promise to renegotiate nafta and today we have kept that promise what president trump was concerned about was to make sure that the agreement was not unfair and was not basically penalizing american workers he does cut a new trade deal. >> but it's not a complete fundamental overhaul. it's mostly the same thing with new branding and some new components branding has always been central to trump's strategy. if i'm given another four years, i will be the best. i think i'll be the best nobody's ever created a economy like us and he's hoping it will win him a second term in the white house when i get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips not always a great slogan. but it just makes sense to be able to protect those people who make the bulk of their income comes from tips do you expect him to pursue tax cuts? >> as policy if he is reelected? >> that is one thing that he says that i think people should take him at his word on what does he really want to accomplish policy-wise

who was trump? were the people around trump did it seem like they were actually interested finding this fraud that they claimed. so confidently or. were they just talking about kind of changing the rules around elections? so did seem like they were really into the investigation. were they into the cyber ninjas results or anything like that? well, i think that was a big disappointment the ultimate findings for them. but when you watch somebody like like mike lindell, who held that these held these cyber symposiums, he was, you know, he and a cohort of other far right people were writing checks, support some of this. you know, they in some ways were constantly in search of any sort of evidence or any kind of answer that would prove what believed even if they i think just going circles and, it still feels that way with some of it, you know, with different reports or how you know, people are able to manipulate data in different ways and it does often feel like they were in circles searching for an that

i figure trump set your t-shirts says latinos america for trump. about why you support him and why you're here. >> he's a patriot. i love him. he's going to do everything good for america. reporter: are you noticing more hispanic americans supporting donald trump in your community? >> 100%. family, church, and again, the patriot. being a patriot. >> can we talk about your visier i'm noticing hair color difference what's your name? >> i am a a devoted fox fan i love trump. i watch you every day. reporter: why did you find yourself outside madison square garden? >> they've destroyed it he's a patriot he doesn't need to be doing this. he really truly wants to save this country. reporter: are you surprised for those that have shown up so long before the rally ?arts >> no because we all love him. people that love this country and want to see closed borders we want to see the country turn around, that's why we're here because we -- >> so you see what people are wearing hispanics for trump there's a lot of -- donald trump dolls as well. and t-shirts, he s

this is what david urban, who's a cnn contributor, wrote to trump, also a trump adviser, told michael bender of the new york times is i don't think anyone is really changing their mind at this point, but when he distracts from his biggest broadest message, it is counterproductive because the harris campaign payne uses it to turn out their voters luck. donald trump's rhetoric actually in the last couple of weeks, i think has been notably more all over the place it's been darker. he's been leaning in more into painting that really dark picture of america. he's been using more profanity clearly that speech last night, that little anecdote about arnold palmer was a little all over the place. he paused and let the crowd scream a curse word back on him. i mean, it was a lot. clearly, his base loves this stuff. i mean, when i'm at these rallies, they go wild for these types of stories. all of that, but when it comes to whether it's helping him or not luck, i mean, at this point in the race, and this is what i hear from my conversations with donald trump's advisers. he's not changing, he's ki

trump focused on a message of fear, harris casting trump as a threat to the nation's democracy.a series of interviews with "the new york times" mr. trump's longest serving chief of staff retired marine corps general john kelly warned the former president would rule like a dictator in a second term. >> looking at the definition of fascism, it's a far-right, authoritarian ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism and suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy. so certainly, in my experience, those are the kinds of things that he thinks would work better in terms of running america. so he certainly falls interest the general definition of fascist for sure. >> vice president harris joined by high-profile surrogates including barack and michelle obama is leaning into a closing argument centered on attacking former president trump as a danger to the country in an approach campaign officials believe will help her win over the small sliver of undecided voters. and motivate her base. >> d

it's going to be donald trump or me. if it is donald trump, you can see what that is going to be. it will be him sitting at that desk stewing over his enemies list. he is full of grievance. he is full of dark language that is about retribution and revenge. >> as we prepare for a nailbiter finished, motivated voters have shown upper early voting here in new york as well as in michigan, and they are talking to nbc news about the choices they are making. >> i have heard so much about trump being angry and he is a fascist and a dictator. but the problem is, when i listen to him, i don't hear any of that. >> this is a huge thing. i never thought i would see a woman be a presidents. a black woman at that. this is a game changer and she's going to open doors for other women. >> we reporters and analysts in place, and first we are going to turn to abc's bond billiard is made his way inside madison square garden here in new york city. talk about the mood there. is there a lot of music underway? what's happening on the stage behind you? >> right. we are waiting for the speakers are to be gi

i have to vote for trump.t the pulled out over there they should have never and those guys dying they don't go there? all these guys that call up when they get up, they don't have anything to say but did they fight in the war? they should not be on the line but that is a bad thing. host: peter, are you undecided? caller: i listen to these guys i vote for trump. host: that is peter. george in missouri, harris walz supporter. caller: yes. i have been watching c-span. the thing that i think is these republicans have no morals about themselves. look at the convention. that was ridiculous. they need to get back to the morals of life. there's no morals about the republicans, none at all. host: are you talking about madison square garden the events? caller: yes. that was the most ridiculous thing i have ever seen in my life. all i can say is trump and vance has no morals about themselves. bring people on this who put down haitians and be else in this country. this is the land of the free. he didn't say nothing, nothi

trump obviously doesn't want that. he wants the military to swear loyalty to him and military individuals, those who wear the cloth of the country will not do that because they understand what our nation and our values are all about that's the key difference. but again, anderson, going back to your original question, if we haven't seen it yet, i'm surprised because this is what former president trump has been doing all during the time he was in office and all during the time he's been campaigning for office. so if we haven't seen it shame on us secretary cohen, general hertling. i appreciate your time joining us now is perine, who served as director of communications for the trump 2020 campaign. ashley etienne, former communications director for vp harris republican strategists and navarro who's now supporting vice president and cnn political commentator van jones ashley, what do you make of this latest reporting it seems like to me we've sort of lost sight of what makes donald trump so dangerous. >> so i'm glad these

donald trump. as you see on your screen, he used to go on "60 minutes," so now ducking and canceling on the same outlets in the homestretch, it is noticeable. the democrats say it shows trump's weakness in an unsteady hand. and they say contrast to harris continuing this media blitz, including the charlamagne interview we have been listening to. charlamagne has long been a bold and independent voice, i've listened to breakfast club for years, we had him on this program, he's known to be tough on republicans and democrats alike. that's the kind of questions harris is taking. and if you're keeping track of this kind of thing, kamala harris is the first presidential candidate in history in either party to go from charlamagne to fox news back to back, underscores part of the diverse media approach they have been pursuing and that they say harris can take hard questions from anywhere. so, we have been listening along with you, we cut here some of the key points in the just completed detroit town hall, t

trump got 14%, trump got 12% in 2020.bout 11 to 14% of black men who have been republicans and voting republican since '68. you can keep finding those same brothers over and over again. that is not a trend. >> no, it is definitely something that we have seen his vote has been consistent with republicans before him. and in '20, he was even or three points lower than the republican candidate. a lot of polls are just their projections from some people with a narrow polling base. but the thing that i would challenge is some of these guys, the rappers, give up what his policies are for black america. we demand that of a black woman who laid it out today. a million people given loans -- given forgivable loans. they will let it go, $20,000, if you have got something that's viable. that's a business plan. they claim to be businessmen, a lot of these rappers. and on to the medical support and et cetera. i don't even understand how we're even talking about donald trump and business in the same sentence. when we had an 8.3 trillion

and you had some shy trump voters that used to be ashamed to say they were for trump. and there may be some shy harris voters out there also just by the way, you can vote for kamala harris and get a better economy and more safely than double here's i notice this past month, the harris campaign spent close to $300 million to trump's roughly 80 million. her numbers continue to nose dive right? i mean, they're better hope this election comes sooner, rather later thing bigger numbers are smaller numbers, right? nick, continue their mark urgent, continue to shrink nationally and states like pennsylvania, you see dave mccormick for this. so you know, the cook report pennsylvania as a toss-up now, the casey race, what does that mean? why is bob casey doing campaigns with donald trump in them and not kamala harris? >> depends on what polls you're looking at because there's a new ap poll today that has erez beating trump on the economy. yeah. so when you look at that 46 it's percent prefer harris policies on taxes for middle-class, only 35 for donald trump. this is really inter

one trump. >> trump >> trump >> trump >> laura: the era of this island trump voter is done, sweepingespecially among the younger voters cut even hollywood movie stars are getting involved. >> might cry to all of you out there, closeted conservatives, closeted trump voters, it's now are never appeared if you have to come out publicly and to say it, if you feel if you can't cut don't prove i would never pressure you to do that but know that if what you are afraid of is somehow the backlash, it won't exist very soon, don't let that hold you back here. >> laura: joining me now, jill bob, and alex clark both contributors with a turning point usa. already, i love this story appeared on heading to texas a&m and i know there are a lot of trump support as their main at college station, texas. what has caused this new boldness in support of trump? >> i believe trump is a drover surprise was becoming more likable than ever before, he is on another level with his charm, empathy, sense of humour appear don't forget he is also going on podcasts everybody loves like theo vaughn and joe rogan, and h

if trump comes back, i come back.ill begin the biggest deportation operation this country has ever seen. >> if you are wondering how the trump administration would go about this and how they would actually carry out this biggest deportation operation the country is ever seen, whether this is a real policy they will approach carefully and soberly, consider for a moment that the guy who trump said would be in charge of the camps and in charge of the deportations was a headliner at the assault rifles are god's will rally this week and where their leader was wearing a crown of bullets and mike flynn was positively fielding questions about leading military tribunals and execution squads for americans and perhaps it gives you a sense of how they will approach the detention and deportation of tens and millions of people if trump were to win a second term. if trump comes back, i come back. a subcutaneous i that takes about 30 to 90 seconds. for one thing, could it mean more time for you? vyvgart hytrulo can improve daily abil

if you're at a trump rally wearing a trump hat, that's beyond reach.ed about 100,000 voters across seven states. these voters actually agree that donald trump is not a good human being. they're banking on guardrails as you said. i think democrats have to make two points. those guardrails are gone. you'll get the full, unvarnished trump. that means the politicalization of basic services you expect from the federal government up to and including social security and medicare. trump had no problem putting his names on checks that went out during covid. what's to stop him from saying when we put out your social security checks, we'll ask you your party affiliation and we'll determine the size of those checks on how good a maga fight you've been. they're not pre post rouse. the second argument is cost of living. this is another issue for these voters. donald trump wants to raise costs by up to $4,000 with his sales tax. kamala harris has planned to put $6,000 in the hands of every american with a child tax credit. we need to drive that home. >> can we talk a

donald trump is embracing tyrants. donald trump loves tyrants. he idolizes them. j.d. and donald trump both support a isolationist foreign policy and an erratic and chaotic foreign policy that will leave us much less safe. >> do you regret the way you described kamala harris and the type of language used for donald trump? >> those were harsh things that i said. i think they reflect that we had a policy disagreement on a series of issues, but i also think that's why it is so important for people to focus on the fact that i am supporting her now and that there's such a broad coalition that's coming together to support her, and it's based in part on who she is, on the fact that she will lead with a sincere heart, on the fact that she is someone who has dedicated her life public service and looking at what donald trump poses, the kind of chaotic, absolute depravity that he would bring if he were to ever be elected again. >> congresswoman, do you consider yourself to be a republican and can you take us through the conversation you had with your father when he decided to vot

trump aide telling trump -- i mean excuse me, telling woodward that trump and putin have been speakingce he left office, up to seven times. we can tell you that today trump's spokespeople say that these allegations are just, quote, made up. woodward is standing by his multisource reporting. he will be speaking out, i'm sure, and we'll be tracking that as well. now we turn to the special guest i mentioned, a former deputy press secretary in the trump administration, sarah matthews, who also testified before the january 6th committee and spoke about her experiences and why she's now backing kamala harris on "the beat" last week. welcome back. >> thank you for having me back. >> let's start with those reports. whether or not you were an eye wints to that we have woodward reporting on trump sharing covid tests with skpooint since leaving office talking with putin. the core allegation is it's somehow for trump, not for the american public. how do you view the reporting? >> yeah, i was not familiar with that reporting. that came out. and it was really alarming to me because we had recent rep

instead, trump allegedly looked at him and said only "so what?" tonight, trump lashing out, saying releasing the brief just over a month before the election amounts to election interference. david? >> david: pierre, thank you. >>> meantime, on the campaign trail, vice president kamala harris in the battle the ground of georgia tonight. she's there tonight to visit the storm zone, visiting the emergency operations center in augusta, georgia, there with the red cross, distributing food. her visit comes after last night's vice presidential debate, and the moment last night between tim walz and j.d. vance that the harris campaign has immediately turned into a new campaign ad. and donald trump tonight praising j.d. vance on his performance. mary bruce from georgia. >> reporter: in storm-ravaged georgia tonight, kamala harris comforting victims of hurricane helene, serving meals and handing out water to community members in need. >> the coordination that we have dedicated ourselves to will be long-lasting, to get families, to get residents, to get neigh

trump praised adolf hitler. the trump campaign disputing it all. the vice president saying kelly's remarks show mr. trump is unhinged and seeking unchecked power. all this just 13 days until the election. the candidates in battlegrounds. mr. trump in georgia, ms. harris holding a televised town hall in pennsylvania. >>> plus, the new warning from the justice department to trump supporter elon musk over his million dollar giveaways to voters. >>> also tonight, the potential escalation in the ukraine war. the u.s. confirming north korea sent thousands of troops to russia. nbc news, the only u.s. tv network reporting from inside the country tonight. >>> nearly a year after the mass shooting in maine that killed 18 people, the gunman's family speaking out. >> was there a point where you became fearful for your brother and of your brother? >> what they now wish they'd done. >>> new details on the deadly e. coli outbreak. the cdc linked to mcdonald's quarter pounders. the safety steps the company is taking. >>> and in the digital age, why these retro cam

trump today. jeff zeleny is outfront live in detroit where president obama is set to take the stage at a harris rally shortly. but jeff obviously a report like this, you know, it's coming out now. it is coming out right before the election. that is what those involved to are sharing the information clearly wanted is the trump campaign worried about this new reporting from the atlantic coming at this 11th hour donald trump is taking the stage in north carolina tonight. >> his advisers there's of course, are looking at this very carefully, but they are pushing back against this report they're saying it as false. he never said it and as we take a step back and look at the bigger picture here it is hard to imagine any single report, any single anecdote, any bit of information about what donald trump said in office would changed many or any minds in this election. >> we are two weeks before election day and minds are hardened. views are settled. >> however, there are still those voters on the margins t

saying trump derangement syndrome is only true insofar as you work for trump and he now suggests trump is deranged. nevertheless, diehard trump supporters are discounting kelly is just one disgruntled ex-employee. >> how do you get your head around that? >> it's one person stating a series of things. >> 28 people who have worked for the president, not just in close proximity, but in the oval office with him, have come out publicly and expressed things of this sort. >> it's hugely important point. trying to think of some former trump cabinet members and close white house aides who have endorsed his run for president this year, or out on the trail, for instance. not a lot. right? now how many can you think of that called trump a fascist, threat to democracy, dangerously ignorant? said he shouldn't be anywhere near the oval office ever again. there's a lot of those. back in june columnist john harwood detailed a dozen former trump officials who sounded the alarm against their former boss. the numbers have kept growing since then. it is a who's who of conservatives and silver servants and

jamie dimon has not endorsed trump for president. but trump went out and said that he did. presumably hoping that nobody would notice that he just made it up. i mean, if you're making your business decision on the election based on the perceived relationships between the candidate, healthy consultation between the candidate and business leaders, this is not just a theoretical thing. you do have stuff to go on, right? and a track record of it, like trump's big meeting with ceos that was organized for him by the business roundtable this summer. remember how that worked out? headline, ceos at trump meeting say ex-president is, quote, meandering and, quote, doesn't know what he's talking about.he former president donald trump failed to impress everyone in ae room full of top ceos this week, multiple attendees told cnbc. one ceo who was in the room said, quote, trump doesn't know what he's talking about. several ceos, quote, said that trump was remarkably meandering and could not keep a straight thought. and was all over the map. but maybe that's not how you're making your busin

vance, and donald trump. the five people probably most closely aligned with the russia wing of the republican party all in one star wars bar, you know, graphic that they used all the time. it is amazing how many of the people that they are pushing forward has such direct ties to russia, and that we know that elon does because elon is without doubt the most important pro-russian propagandist in american politics today. we also know that he does more business with communist china than virtually any other businessman. very few people in the business world or america spends as much time with foreign hostile governments as elon musk does. this has always been a huge problem, and it's actually really important, i think, this comes out. because the idea that elon has been pumping out this unbelievably rancid pro-russian prop gabda for the last six months, nine months, 12 months without any kind of penalty for him has been not okay. the influence of it republican party, the way the russians have penetrated the republ

to always trump. >> i am a never trump guy.ever liked him. >> the most important thing we can do for those people for that american nation we all love is to reelect donald trump as president of the united states. >> no consistent believes. it may show he could be shaped into anything. reversing the core story he used to rise to prominence. this contrast is at the heart of the race right now where powerbrokers might see a bonus in j.d. vance being someone available because he will literally reverse himself. the question is for who or what . others see a liability. >> j.d. vance abandoned any reason to put trust in him and and pollen text that is your only currency. >> trump flip-flops more than my current sandals. >> so far i mentioned abortion end of this divide over trump if this runs across a lot of politics. take big domestic issues. social security trump claimed he personally viewed that support for seniors as a ponzi scheme. and then when he needed to politically he claimed he would protect it. harris ran left on some issu

trump's your daddy. and he stands ready to put all of the nasty women, as he calls them, in their place. the idea that this overt sexism is a viable electoral strategy has gained a lot of currency lately. a pollster writing about it in "the new york times" today saying, aware that boasting about killing roe v. wade drove away young women, mr. trump captured young votes. along with a prime speaking spot at the republican national convention to ufc president dana white, who was, of course, infamously videotaped slapping his wife in 2022. just as journalists once obsessed over the white working class, they're now focusing anxiety of the political agency of young men. republicans were capitalizing on it well before kamala harris entered the race. you think back to january when trump was facing the rye marry challenge from nikki haley and his disapproval ratings among women became a campaign issue, and far right congressman matt gaetz, the one being investigated by the ethics committee for possibly having sex

and you hear trump's campaign saying this is false president trump never said any of this. i mean, trump though tonight, praised authoritarian leaders. china's xi, china's xi, russia's putin. >> listen to this can you imagine what president xi, you know, i got to know him very well. he's a fierce individual. he runs 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. am i allowed to say he's smart he's smart? she's a smart man he's a fierce man. i got along with him very well putin these are people that are tough people when many people have an authoritarians and the f leadership does that is that deniable at this point? >> well, in the clip, you shownot but it's not praise either, which is what you said it was which it wasn't. but according to the jeffrey goldberg article which we've talked about this entire night, you can't trust that article because the quote 60,000 for an ethnic mexican funeral, the only two on record sources both said that he didn't say that the only source is an anonymous source and the family of the deceased soldier, so that he was lovely to them. and in fact, the

you knew donald trump really well.s this about jack smith and how he believes he is a fascist, does it surprise you he is this close, neck and neck, with kamala harris? >> it surprises me, it disturbs me. i am perturbed over the whole scenario. when i speak to these folks, folks who i used to call friends , upper east siders and that type, they say i just can't vote for, love. why not? i don't like her look, i don't like her malformation. >> come on. >> i am serious. i don't like her giggle, i don't like the way she speaks. i turned to them and say, let's be honest with one another. it has nothing to do with it. it has nothing to do with her teeth, mannerisms, the way she speaks or her giggle, it is simply because, call it for what it is, you are racist and you are sexist. and even the wind, i don't understand how women can't do that and play the same game. it doesn't make any sense. you have one of two choices. it is for someone who wants to unify the country and do the right thing for america and they are on the oppo

>> well, not trump supporters. they like hearing what trump has to say.why he's having this big rally today at madison square garden. but what is important and it may be late to the party is that we're finally hearing pushback on how harris and trump are not treated equally. trump says something off the wall bonkers and we let him get away with it because that's just trump whereas if harris makes one tiny error she gets hammered for it for three days. i was happy to see the pushback. and the real difference is -- i wish i would have heard the pastor say. there's no question in my mind that harris and biden are patriots. i can't say the same about donald trump. >> to your point michelle obama was all over that last night to your point about that. but as i go to you, david. michelle obama also focused part of her speech on men. looking to spur them to action. listen to this. >> anyone out there thinking about sitting out this election or voting for donald trump or a third party candidate in protest because you're fed up? let me warn you, your rage does not

as donald trump lays the groundwork for a challenge to a harris victory. >>> plus, no apology from trump the racism directed at the puerto rican people at his weekend rally, as more prominent puerto ricans denounce trump and announce support for harris. >>> and trump's dangerous second act. he would put vaccine conspiracyist rfk jr. in charge of health agencies and billionaire troll elon musk in charge of government spending. with musk promising temporary hardship for the american people. >>> but we begin just six days out from election day in this final stretch, both vice president kamala harris and donald trump are hammering home their closing arguments to voters, hoping it resonates as americans fill out their ballots. if last night's crowd in the backyard of the white house is any indication, the vice president's message has stuck the landing. according to the harris campaign, at least 75,000 people filled the ellipse and spilled out on to the national mall. it well exceeded the maga crowd who showed up in that very spot nearly four years ago on trump's behalf before the capitol insu

that won't be trump's fault, because it's never trump's fault. he will conclude fairly quickly that it's zelensky�*s fault, and that that will give the russians a very substantial victory. do you think the american people want to continue to fund ukraine's war effort as they have in the past? i mean, joe biden really struggled to get the last $60 billion package through the us congress. do you think, whoever wins the next election, there is the popular will to continue that kind of assistance? i think it depends on who the leader is and how they make the case. i think there's been a problem in the united states, and indeed, the west as a whole, ever since the collapse of the soviet union, when you may recall, people were proclaiming the end of history, that there were no more threats, that we could cut defence spending and have a peace dividend. that was very wrong. and the united states is still paying for that complete misapprehension of what happened then. if the case is made to the american people that ukraine is in america's vital interest,

washington, dc that will vote for trump-— for trump. yes, it won't be decided — for trump.in the district - for trump. yes, it won't be decided in the district of i decided in the district of columbia that we can safely say. we talked about christopher steele if you are watching in the last hour. if you were watching in the last hour you will know we have been talking to the former mi6 intelligence officer, christopher steele about his new book which hasjust been published in the united states. it is his memoir of what happened back in 2016. and why he still has some confidence in the central thrust of the intelligence work he did. the so called "steele dossier" has been largely discounted in american circles, despite the fact special counsel robert mueller discovered "numerous links between the russian government and the trump campaign". including his campaign chair paul manafort who had secretly worked for a russian billionaire with a plan to "greatly benefit the putin government". here's steele explaining why he felt it necessary to document his side of the story, three

why make excuses for president trump when he's been attacking trump voters for years? tonight, radio host mark simone is going to break it down. also this -- >> something we're very proud of, i must tell you, because bidenomics is working. it's working. and today's jobs numbers made clear bidenomics is working. bidenomics. [cheers and applause] and bidenomics is working. bidenomics. [laughter] and bidenomics is working. [applause] if. elizabeth: no, it's not working. it's the not. inflation is up more than 20% compounded under biden and harris. and inflation is hitting the swing states hard. by the way, government spending is fueling and powering gdp growth, also job growth. we've got that data. we're going to talk to iowa farmers on what happened to them under the biden-harris white house. lots of action this hour. you won't want to miss it. we'll be back in two. stay right there. >> so i'm in this beautiful plane, i'm enjoying myself, i have a wonderful suit on on -- [cheers and applause] and one of my people came in and said, sir, you know, the word garbage is the h

take a listen. >> no, he does not view trump supporters or anybody who supports trump as garbage. the president wanted to clarify because he understood that what he may have said was, he understood that what he was saying was being taken out of context. reporter: this is the oxygen out of what should have been harris' news cycle following her closing pitch to tens of thousands of supporters last night. this morning both she and walz trying to distance themselves from biden's remark. >> he clarified his commentses but let me be clear. i strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for. >> well the president clarified his remarks but let's be very clear the vice president and i have made it absolutely clear we want everyone as a part of this. reporter: but harris has had so much of her campaign about trump villifying people and hating his enemies she's now having a hard time turning the page on biden's comments while keeping that narrative alive. >> i pledge to seek common ground and common sense solutions to the challenges you face. >> [applause] >> i am no

donald trump's on fitness for office. she shouldn't be bringing up general kelly's comments about him praising hitler, among other things. thanks i think she needs to be practicing and all of the above strategy she needs to call out and define why donald trump is uniquely dangerous in a way that no modern candidate for president has ever been, will also proactively talking about what her agenda is and what she wants to do for voters when in the white house, that's where the message has to be. >> that's why i think it's smart actually, that she's in texas this on this issue, that she's done so well with women on talking about reproductive health, not just abortion, but access to ivf, among other things. so listen, i think you're going to hear it all of the above from her and i think speaking on the ellipse and reminding people of january 6 is incredibly important. >> lance trover is with us as well, lamsa kamala harris calls trump's latest comments about the united states being a quote, garbage can she says it's another ex

they'll say, i don't like donald trump. i didn't like what january 6th represented, but i like his policies and i'm worried about my grocery bills. so, you know, that's the kind of balance they're trying to strike, and that is what i hear from voters too. >> there has been this hand wringing about kamala harris going too hard on trump's danger to democracy. there is polling that says that's not the most effective thing to voters generally as well. it only really works when it's coming from people who worked with donald trump, the john kellys, jim mattis, and mark milleys of the world. is this hand wringing something that you're seeing extend to the worry maybe within the kamala harris campaign or no? >> so, i think you can follow polls and message testing out the window, right? there's only so much that that can really tell you. i do think that dave is right, as usual, with the fascist messaging. most americans have no idea what the word fascist means. they know it's bad. but that's not going to be effective more somebody,

what does donald trump mean?s that mean he will urge members of the military, leaders in the military to act independent of the orders of president biden in the pentagon? it's not clear. i want to let you look at a statement from a spokesman for donald trump. this is not an effort to suggest that there's a misunderstanding between donald trump and his former chief of staff, but it's an effort to denigrate the reputation of john kelly. you see this from the spokesman. he writes, quote, john kelly has beclowned himself. he failed to serve his president while working as chief of staff. he suffered from trump derangement syndrome. this has come up on the campaign trail minutes after michael published the stories talking about it on the campaign stage. >> let's listen. >> trump made it very clear that this is an election about donald trump taking full control of the military to use against his political enemies, taking full control of the department of justice to prosecute those who disagree with him, taking full cont

it means that's donald trump's mental acuity. >> you know, you and i've talked a lot about trump's view of the constitution and general. kelly had something interesting to say about that is interview with the times. listen to what he said surely the only president that has older. >> rejected what america is all about. >> and what makes america america in terms of our constitution in terms of us our values you know, what we're looking at. everything to include family, government he certainly the only president that i thought it was certainly, it might certainly in my lifetime that was like that we'd hear john kelly saying that that he's certainly the only president that has all but rejected what america is about you know, ambassador bolton, you have said publicly here, you're not voting for donald trump, but you're also, i'm voting for vice president harris when it when it comes to this decision what about people who are sitting at home listening to john kelly say that trump meets the definition of a fascist that he said nice things about hitler, the reporting that he didn't want to pay

and trump. that speaks to who his true north is. when kelly is saying, and i hope american people are listening, he is a fascist through and through. one of the thing that i found striking, kelly was talking about how, what was concerning with him. that trump has told the american people that he will use the military against us and against his enemies who are american citizens. and i need to remind everybody, he deployed the national guard in washington, d.c. against peaceful protesters when they were protesting george floyd. these were peaceful protesters. if you remember, many of our colleagues in the press got caught in the dragnet. they had to wear bullet proof helmets. trump was deploying tear gas. it is refocusing on what he already did and how he plans to double down on american values against our constitution and so much more. >> what do you think? >> i think that, one, it is important that someone like a general four star come out and says something. there's a lot amongst military leade

trump today.y lead with this on cbs. >> this is the desperation right now, that these stories come out, they have one person saying it, the other people in the room are denying that this happened. the family as you pointed out came out and said no, this is not true, in fact we love him, we voted for him, we want him to be the next president, but this is what happens at the end of the campaign when they get desperate. the democrats start leaking stories that are nonstories. this happened in our campaign. they started calling us saying we are going to report the story and we were like this is not a story. you have to shut them down one by one because they are desperate and they are working on the side of the democrats. it's pretty shocking. >> trace: the former president was with brian kilmeade on his radio show this morning and talked about going on with joe rogan. said the following. >> we talked about it for a long time and i think he's a nice guy. i've met him a couple of times at the fights and
