just today the atlanta journal- constitution put out a story pointing out that the law that we railed against in 2021, the jim crow 2.0 law, that indeed it had the exact effect we were afraid of and it is disproportionately harmful to black voters in the state of georgia by diminishing access to the right to vote. in this case what we are telling you is that this renegade state election board is taking matters into its own hands and sowing chaos by putting in rules that will delay the counting of ballots. putting it in layman's terms, saying in a precinct three people left hand count every single ballot which is cast, which sounds innocuous enough until you realize fulton county has more than 500,000 voters and only three people per precinct will be allowed to handle those ballots. that will delay the certification and could jeopardize electoral votes being included. that is mismanagement not only of elections, but an intentional scheme to create chaos in the state of georgia and to undermine the validity of the election. >> before we go i want to talk to you about reproductive rights

now, here's a look at video from the "atlanta journal constitution" excellent political reporter, greg bluestein. he said this was an hour into trump's speech last night. many empty seats. some people who may have been there began to stream out at some point. jonathan lemire, another big speech dialed up for vice president harris at the ellipse. they got a permit for 20,000 more people. >> certainly, we know for a decade now how much donald trump prizes the size of his crowds. perhaps no moment in his one debate with vice president harris got under his skin more than when the vice president noted exactly what we just saw there. during donald trump's rallies, people eventually get up, walk out, and they leave. we have seen this time and time again. look, he is a lighter campaign schedule this time around than in previous election cycles. the crowds are not as big. many people have seen him before. you know, he uses crowd size as a measure of enthusiasm. well, if so, that's a worry. vice president harris, when she took over the ticket in july, had a bunch of mega rallies. backed off thos

joining us now is political reporter for the "atlanta journal-constitution", greg buktan. a staggering number when it was posed yesterday by the secretary of state. can you talk about in perspective what that number looks like? >> i think it caught some state athletic officials off-guard and it shattered all sorts of record but i caution reading too much into these numbers. we saw heavy turnout and we are not sure which party it will help most. we don't know how many of these folks are going to be voters who are new voters, who are switching, you know, crossover voters or, frankly, voters who were just voting early. a lot going on here. we do know the republicans this cycle are putting a great emphasis on early voting than they have in georgia in the past as well and even at donald trump's rally last night in georgia, there was all sorts of messaging about make a plan to vote and that used to be primarily democratic language here in georgia in the 2020 and 2018. >> it was interesting to hear donald trump in georgia praising governor kemp, somebody he has attacked and insul

feeling janky, right in yesterday i was reading about this interview with nick timiraos at the journal with the atlanta president, rafael bostick, and he used the word janky. of course, i look it up, and i was surprised that the official definition, it's an interesting word because, you know, it's very poor quality or junkie, not functioning properly or adequately, you know, faulty. so it's an interesting word because seemingly at this point it could apply to a lot of things in the financial world. and it reminds me when i was a kid, we used to have this show and tell, especially in the earlier grades in school. these days it's very popular, publicly-traded companies, investor days, investor conferences, they move their stocks as much as earnings report. yesterday amd had a show and tell, well, it was a disaster for the stock. after the close, tesla said, their urn. hold my beer. well, it was an even bigger disaster. the stock is getting annihilated today. later in the show, we're going to speak with nancy tengler who's got a different perspective. meanwhile, vanky -- janky us could also describe the s

what might hold more weight for investors though is what atlanta fed president raphael bostick told the "wall street journal" this afternoon it came out. a voting member, said he is open to skipping a rate cut at the november meeting if the data come in as he expects. let's get right to the floor show to parse what that means for stocks and bonds. joining me now regions chief investment officer alan mcknight and peter malook. alan, the at the last month's fed meeting he only penciled in one more 25 basis points cut for the rest of the year and then you see what the 10-year yield looked like and you see the intraday chart here. it immediately started to spike. its moderated just a bit but still now at 4.099%. what is the message you are gleaning from this? >> the message we're getting is that the markets not really buying into a lot of what was couched after the last fed meeting which is we're going to continue on this path, and i think the bond market, if you will, are questioning that a little bit and i think that's what the we've seen with the backup in rates over the last couple of weeks is they are a li

atlanta. you see the big banners, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime. well, the wall street journal surveyed american economists. a majority, 68%, said trump would raise run up prices faster than harris, 12%, answered harris. the issue is that plan for government deficit spending, lower taxes and tariffs, deficits caused by the many ways that trump wants to cut taxes. trump at the chicago economic forum proposing a new 2,000% tariff on foreign cars. it was a contentious interview with a no nonsense editor in chief of bloomberg. how about this, gavin newsom? he's the governor of california. newsom. he signed newsom. i call him. yeah, but do you do you think? no, he corrected me. he corrected me. i said, that's the first time i've been corrected. there are ceos out here. if they said those sort of things about a rival ceo, they would be they'd be sacked. do you think it's. but they don't have to survive like me. they don't have to go through what i have to go through. meantime, vice president harris will campaign with a group of republican leaders today in pennsylvania. here she is ca

the atlanta fed president looks like the interview with "the wall street journal" making some commentst are moving around future markets, as well as the stock market. he's saying it's okay to skip a cut this year after today's data. he's saying he's open to the idea of not moving if the data come in as i expect. that's interesting enough right there. so, you can see the market, if you look at the fed funds futures now, giving a little more weight to the idea of a skip, it's now trading at an 83% probability of a 25 in november, and the 17% probability of no change at all. that's towards the higher side. it's been higher than that. but then look at the october 25 fed funds contract. that's what's been happening, is over time here with the data that's been stronger, with some of the commentary that's come out in yesterday's minutes we can talk about in a second, increasingly they're taking out easing on the back end of all this. that's about -- you can see maybe 50 or 60, almost 70 basis points now have been baked out of the future in terms of how much cutting the fed will do. so we're w

correspondent for the atlantic journal constitution, and my old friend jon ralston, an msnbc political analyst. tia, ladies first, you were at tonight's harris rally near atlanta. things felt intense. when i watched those speakers, you could feel that moment. what was your takeaway? >> so vice president harris went to one of the bluest parts of georgia tonight, and yes, she brought out a lot of star power, so there was just a lot of energy. people were excited to see entertainers like bruce springsteen and tyler perry, and they were just the warm-up act for former president obama, and of course, vice president harris. so yes, there was a lot of -- a lot for the crowd to digest, and a lot of energy. they say it's her biggest rally to date, 23,000 people. >> when bruce springsteen is the warm-up act, you claimly ain't in jersey anymore. jeff, harris is clearly leaning into celebrity endorsement, and donald trump is leaning into grievances. what is more likely to get voters out? >> well, i think that last part of your question is the key. what vice president harris is doing right now is kind of moving on from the persuasion phase that her campaign has been in for
