we didn't get to charlie sykes yet. we'll do that when we come back. also much more on the news about trump's far right support starting to ebb. trump, who has doggedly defended every last corner of his coalition for more than nine years, is maybe losing some of the more questionable elements of that coalition. perhaps another sign of political frailty. that's ahead. >>> and later in the show, fact checking the lies and outlandish claims from donald trump as quickly as they come. no public figure has ever lied like he does before. so just how do you do it? yesterday the harris/walz campaign showed us all how to do it. they are ready to call him out on each and every one. >>> plus that includes his remarks yesterday that reproductive rights will only be in his view a small issue in november. we'll bring you all those stories and more when "deadline: white house" continues after a quick break. don't go anywhere. k break. don't go anywhere. ♪ (woman) ugh.

and msnbc contributor and author of the book "how the right lost its mind," charlie sykes along with us. and conservative attorney george conway is here, as well. a lot to get to, joe. a lot of movement of the harris/walz campaign across the country. >> right. >> also in the polls. >> yeah. of course, jonathan lemire, we could talk about the polls. "the new york times"/siena polls have always trended for trump. took a sharp turn over the past week. now, harris up in the three key industrial states. pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. just a really dramatic shift. that's something donald trump obviously is seeing. there you see, again, all three states. the numbers inside the numbers are even more surprising, how quickly, how dramatically things have changed. if you look at those numbers and you look at the numbers inside the numbers, you are reminded what americans have been telling us for the past four years. they do not want -- they did not want a repeat of 2020. so they don't have a repeat of 2020. you look at those numbers, though, first of all, really quickly, the economy. we

msnbc contributor charlie sykes, thank you so much. hopefully you can stick around. >>> thank you for getting up "way too early" with us on this thursday morning. "morning joe" starts right now. >>> you have used words like animal and rapid to describe black district attorneys. you attack black journalists, calling them a loser. saying the questions they ask are, quote, stupid and racist. you've had dinner with a white supremacist at your mar-a-lago resort. so my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that? >> first of all, i don't think i've ever been asked the question so -- in such a horrible manner, first question. you don't even say hello, how are you? are you with abc? because i think they are a fake news network, a terrible network. >> and it only went downhill from there. that was part of donald trump's contentious interview yesterday at a conference for the national association of black journalists, where trump questioned whet

for more on this, i want to bring in nbc's vaughn hillyard and columnist and msnbc contributor charlie sykes. vaughn, a ton of attention on walz today obviously in this announcement. what are we expecting from the trump camp? >> i think number one, let's look at minnesota and ohio. the two states where the respective vp candidates are from. the two states between them are michigan and wisconsin. donald trump choosing the americaner, and that's what -- midwesterner, and that's what kamala harris has decided to do. but will see vance and trump at his mar-a-lago estate, he has a rally coming up in boseman, montana, friday night. j.d. vance is going to be following the ticket around. they're not rallies, but he's going to deliver remarks to press cameras here. i think from the initial statement from donald trump's campaign, it's interesting the points that they point out. quote from the trump campaign statement, from proposing his own carbon-free agenda to suggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered cars and embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote, walz is obsessed with s

charlie sykes, we've seen a lot of flipping of the script in the last few weeks. you have the harris campaign telling nbc news that trump's multitrillion dollar agenda is, quote, a deficit bomb. how interesting to hear democrats wrangling that back for republicans, especially after the unmitigated spending we saw during the trump years. >> i think it's interesting they're leaning into issues that republicans thought that they were there, that they actually own. the fact is that donald trump is uninterested in being fiscally responsible. you saw that during his presidency. you see that in many proposals he's making. obviously, he wants to exploit the problems of inflation, but almost everything he's talking about doing would make it worse. you know, mass deportations, taking away the independence of the fed, imposing massive new sales taxes in the form of tariffs on middle class families. i think it is important to lean in on all of this. and i think that the details -- look, i mean, i still have a lot of questions about the details of many of these proposals, but

and charlie sykes.rnor tim walz as her running mate, thousands of supporters stood in the rain wrapped around blocks hoping to get into the 10,000 seat venue. there were 14,000 attendees in the arena. on truth social the harris campaign mocked donald trump, a difference in crowd size, which i guess is important to donald trump. in her remarks, vice president harris praised tim walz, and they both explained what they see is at stake this november. >> to those that know him best, to those that know him best, tim is more than a governor. to his wife, gwen, he's a husband. to his kids, hope and gus, he's a dad. to his fellow veterans, he's sergeant major walz. >>> and in 91 days, the nation will know him by another name, vice president of the united states. >> donald trump sees the world a little differently than us. first of all, he doesn't know the first thing about service. he doesn't have time for it because he's too busy serving himself, again, and again and again. trump weakens our economy to strength

charlie sykes joins us to explain his new piece for "the atlantic."ill be right back with that. right back with that. >>> welcome back to "morning joe." 7:00 a.m. on the east coast. thursday, august 29th. we have a lot to get to. vice president kamala harris and governor tim walz are back on the campaign bus in georgia in what could be a sign that that battle ground state is once again very much in play. the mayor of savannah, georgia, will join us on what he's hearing from voters. >>> plus, charlie sykes is out with a new piece in "the atlantic" titled, "trump dishonors fallen soldiers again." we'll dive into that as the fallout continues over trump's visit to arlington national cemetery. >>> and the u.s. surgeon general is out with a new health warning directed at parents. he'll join us shortly to explain. >>> i'm jonathan lemire in this morning for joe, mika, and willie. elise jordan, sam stein still with us. now, joining the conversation, we have the co-host of msnbc's "the weekend," symone sanders townsend. special correspondent at "vanity fair"

clinton school of public service at the university of arkansas and msnbc political analyst and charlie sykes, msnbc columnist and political analyst, victoria. harris took the means, she ran with them from the jump. what have you made of their social media strategy so far >> it is masterful. lucio, the way that she is able to harness that media really connecting with digital natives, that younger generation. also not ignoring the old school side of things. we have seen in the last week harris 30 million, going to be sending another 50 million coming up on the dnc. so they are really going hard on the social media campaign, i think is fantastic, especially because she has time to make up for it. that being said, i worry there is that little debbie downer in me that the need for coupling that with old-school politics. just making sure that you are not relying on social media alone because it is a fantastic buzz to convert both, to convert especially young votes or low propensity voters 2a, registered to vote and b, turn out to vote. as long as they have that direct mobilization conversion piece

charlie sykes with me here and at the table president of the leadership conference mia rile is here andith you. because i've tried to own all of my political culpability, but i want to own this cable host culpability. there is a piece accurately describing donald trump as a lethal threat to democracy and democratic norms that what pete winner did there, seeing if you could tear down american democracy, you may be evil, you may be corrupt, but you were strong. and we talked about this in the last hour, harris came out at her her first event in delaware, and it had the consequence of popping that balloon and bringing him down to side and all with beyonce playing in the background. what do you make how she's totally reframed any contest against donald trump? >> well, this is why donald trump is so disoriented. because, and why he looked to shrunken, so slow and so -- and so, you know, i'm sorry to say it, petty as opposed to this, you know, this colossal of stride american democraciment -- democracy. and you could tell that he's struggling, he can't came up with a nickname. and that is a t

joining me now is charlie sykes, msnbc columnist and contributor. che i would twirl it for you there, friend charlie. because it seems that election interference and the hacking of personal emails from a campaign is bad now your thoughts. >> well, it does feel like karma is working overtime here and of course, just disingenuous of the trump campaign to say nobody should publish this, but having said this, we don't fully know what the source of this leak was who the hackers were and quite frankly, this is serious, and it is dangerous when we have malicious foreign actors who are hacking into the campaigns. "washington post" is now reporting that members of the harris team were also targeted by this. this will not be the only or the last hacking by a hostile foreign power. next time it could be russia, it could be china that's why i do think we ought to point out the incredible hypocrisy and double standards of the trump campaign, but there ought to be bipartisan condemnation of this i do think that media outlets need to be very cautious about how they

bulwark, sam stein, and msnbc contributor, and author of the book, how the right lost its mind, charlie sykes command caddie, we have a jam-packed show this morning. but we have to start with donald trump's appearance yesterday at this conference of black journalists, where he gestured from the first moment he went on to the attack he was deeply confrontational. deeply offensive. and no more so questioned whether his opponent, vice president,, lane harris was herself black. >> yeah, i don't know what happened to august being a quiet news month, but clearly that is not going to happen, here we are at the beginning of what is our summer holidays and as you can see it will be jam- packed, not just the way in the u.s. there's so much happening in the middle east as well and we will get to that too. but let's start at that conference where the former president was combative with the moderators when they confronted him on issues dealing with race. when asked about vice president,, lane harris, donald trump question her racial identities, as joe just said. he also claimed again, that immigrants were

joining us now is a national columnist for the washington post and charlie sykes, msnbc contributor and columnist. good evening to both of you. i don't know where to start. that was quite an adventure with donald trump today. sort of a press conference. mostly the rambling miss. what you make of what he is trying to do here? >> well you know, it was over after that hour-long ramble. i thought to myself, what did we just watch here? what happened? is he okay? clearly he is suffering from a debilitating case of crowd envy, but once again i'm struck by the asymmetry of our politics. if joe biden or kamala harris had come out and given a performance like that, there would be a serious discussion about, do we need to make a change at the top of the ticket? do we need an intervention? it really was interesting watching this sort of low energy, rambling, shrunken donald trump. this is what donald trump looks like when he is losing and the contrast, the split screen with kamala harris and tim walz is inescapable because there was no joy in mar-a-lago today. >> charlie said it is low energy. all

joining me now, mara gay and charlie sykes.nce yesterday and i tried to press donald trump on whether he would ban mifepristone. he ducked. let's watch. >> would you direct your fda for example to revoke access to mifepristone? that's one of the things that's been discussed. >> you can do things that will be, that would supplement, absolutely. those things are pretty open and humane. but you have to be able to have a vote and all i want to do is give everybody a vote and the votes are taking place right now. >> is that something -- >> there are many things that you can do outside of that. but you also have to give a vote and the people are going to have to decide. >> we didn't take out anything that would somehow make that answer make more sense. mara, what do republicans, what did donald trump get wrong about the potency of this issue and what do you make about the answer of the question specifically? >> i'm so glad that you asked the question in the way that you did. listen, americans know no matter what their view is on the
