alex wagner tonight starts right now. good evening alex. >> it's a great book from a great reporter. i'm glad you had him on, chris. >> agreed. >> have a great weekend. >> you too. >> okay, well, today started yet again with news of bomb threats in springfield, ohio. yesterday two elementary schools, city hall, dmv and the county court facilities had to close because of bomb threats. today two elementary schools were evacuated and a middle school had to close. yesterday the mayor of springfield told nbc news he believes these bomb threats are directly connected to the baseless rumors spread online in the wake of viral social media posts claiming haitian migrants were abducting people's pets in springfield in order to eat them. i should note that the claims about haitian migrants eating pets in springfield are lies. there is no evidence to back up any of those claims. but that does not seem to matter. here's the thing, a week ago today, on all of twitter, there were only about 1,000 posts mentioning haitians, migrants or im

alex wagner, andrew weissmann and i and a lot more."beat" lighters. amazing. there is one of our great beatniks if i can be so bold as to dub her that, brandishing that. i was on this panel with andrew weissmann, the great legal thinker and former prosecutor. that was us walking backstage. we wanted to share that with you. we discussed not only news and the trump cases but also his view of opera and how he got involved in television and how he accidentally wore glasses that looked like sunglasses in his early interviews. i have an image of that here. there's our great crowd. these turned so dark, people were asking him was he wearing sunglasses and he had to learn to update his game. so again, if you're interested, we're airing that tomorrow night, two hours, 9:00 p.m. eastern on msnbc. and an update to those of you who follow this closely, i mentioned earlier we were hoping to have ll cool j on tonight. as you saw, the news intervened. we will still have ll cool j, the one and only, the great, the g.o.a.t., next week on "the beat." we

alex wagner tonight starts right now. >> there's no play book for how do you react on a debate stage when the person to your right is talking about the consumption of cats and dogs. and gender reassignment surgery on illegal immigrants in prison. >> i don't know how i would react. >> let's hope that doesn't happen again. thank you my friend. >> all right. >> and last night's debate. showed an unbelievable contrast between donald trump and kamala harris. choosing just one moment to focus on is just impossible. >> obama care was lousy health care. >> yes or no do you have a plan? >> i have concepts of a plan. it's kind of like if you ask a high school student if they started their book report and they tell you, they have an idea of how they're going to write it. the difference between donald trump and a high school student is donald trump has been attacking the health care for almost a decade now. and he still doesn't know a decade later. when there's a double standard existing and still exists for these two candidates going into this debate. for weeks these have been the headlines wri

alex wagner did -- she talked to union members in michigan. let me let you listen to what some of them said. >> there are thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants coming across the border every day. and the vice president has done minimal work to fix that. based on what i have seen. so i would like that to change. >> do you feel like donald trum issue. >> based on what we have seen on his first four years i do believe he will be better on that. >> are you leaning toward trump right now? >> yes, ma'am. >> is there anything vice president harris could do at this point to change your mind? >> not particularly, no. unless she changes her stance completely on fixing the border. that's, no. >> olivia, based on what we have seen in his first four years i do believe he'll be better on that. based on what? the only things we saw in terms of immigration is you talked about with stephen miller, were taking babies out of the hands of their moms at the border and separating them and sending them off in two different directions and losing track of them

let's bring alex wagner in and claire mccaskill who are in philadelphia at the site of the debate. >> that was fun. there are moments when i ran over to claire and are you seeing what i am seeing? i will say, rachel, we have been hearing your coverage and one of the things that really stood out to me tonight was the stagecraft of these candidates. the fact that kamala harris repeatedly, almost constantly looking at the camera and talking to you at home. the fact that donald trump's pronoun of choice was not you or me, but she, directing all of his comments to kamala harris and she was directing all of her answers to the viewers at home. she knew she was making a case and to me it felt like she was making a case to moderates and republicans. over and over again she was speaking in language that was, i think, welcoming to people that might still be on the fence and even on the most incendiary topics. issues of race and identity. she talked about uniting the country, rather than talking about the politics of the personal. the personal attacks donald trump has launched on her. she has an
