show this "charlotte observer" headline. it is an editorial from the largest paper in the state of north carolina. "shame on donald trump for worsening north carolina's tragedy with political lies." and now the lie about democrats trying to kill him. the lie about a person whose family had a trump sign in his front yard trying to kill him. or the person who voted for donald trump in 2016, the lie that they were somehow part of a federal government conspiracy. they can't run on the truth because they're losing on the truth. and so the lies continue. the lies get more dangerous, increasingly desperate tactics. it's unbelievable. increasingly deranged talk. increasingly dangerous provocation. and perhaps a provocation that is preparation for his loss at the ballot box and a call for civil war. let me tell you, there are hosts, in fact, there's a specific host on another network, the most popular host on that network that has called for civil war. that has said, let's stop trying to figure this out at the ballot box. let's move

. >> "the charlotte observer" lent you their endorsement this week. general stein, i want to read little bit from that. the next governor not only can serve as a check on the extreme legislation passed by the legislature, the office is also about more intangible things including the way our state is represented on the national stage. there's little evidence we can trust that robinson will be a good ambassador for north carolina, let alone steady leader in a -- i want to actually ask you about the top portion of that being a check on extreme legislation passed by your state's legislature. what do you see us in the greatest forthcoming challenges. >> it's critical in north carolina we not only elect ademocrat, me as governor, we have to break the supermajority. the republicans in the legislature have airship majority by only one vote in the house and only one vote in the senate. we don't need to do much to break it. but if we do, then i have a veto and i can hold back their extremism. i can ensure that we're investing in public schools. i can make sure

you've got a 78-year-old, right now, according to the charlotte observer. the largest newspaper in north carolina. making matters so much worse for victims of these hurricanes. >> there's nothing bigger than politics for donald trump your course, there's nothing bigger than donald trump. everything is just raw material. everything that happens around donald trump is just raw material for donald trump to use for his own benefit. the misery of other people, disasters, the suffering of other americans. none of that registers as real. that's all just part of the big set, the big tv show that donald trump lives on every day. everything that happens, whether something good, something bad, a disaster like this, it's just another part of the script that has to be turned to the advantage of donald trump. >> it's got to be about him. >> because he's not capable. i think kamala harris is absolutely right. there's no empathy in the person. he has no sense of other people's real human beings who suffer. >> have been courting conservatives all week. that's something that

earlier today the charlotte observer, the state's largest newspaper put out a blistering op-ed condemning him sing donald trump has politicized the situation at every turn, spreading falsehoods and conspiracies that fracture the community. joining me now is democratic strategist and former campaign advisor. trump and harris are neck and neck in north carolina. here he is spreading so many lies about hurricane response that i would argue is probably turning off a lot of north carolina humans and gop leaders. >> you are right. if anything at this point, when you are watching this devastation, there should be unity to align around protecting those that have been injured. what we are seeing is donald trump being donald trump. he will never waste a crisis. that is a thing to run on. he is designing the chaos by lying irrespective to the fact that both democrats and republicans in cities and states where he is utilizing the argument have all said the response has been strong. it has been fast and getting equipment that has been needed. and to be matter-of-fact, the only person that authorized t

in response, the charlotte observer editorial board condemned the rhetoric thing it fractures the communityit needs healing and also because of his lies, fema had to create a whole new webpage to debunk the statements about the work. joining me now to sound off is mya rupert, former campaign manager for julio kass to an advisor for elizabeth warren and congressman joe walsh, 2020 presidential candidate and director of the social contract. he is also member of republicans for harris initiative. thank you for coming to the sunday show. your reaction to donald trump saying all that nonsense and lies. i can't curse, it is sunday. >> i don't think we need to curse but we can sadist dangerous. that is the way we can condemn the most. this is a community of people who are dealing with displacement and shortages. this is a moment that a country should come together and the republican nominee for president is going out of his way to scare people and he is lying. none of this is true. he is doing it because he thinks he can get political gain from at. >> on that, isn't he doing it because he feels he

charlotte, north carolina, n here's the editorial board of "the charlotte observer." "shame on donald trump for worsening north carolina's helene tragedy with political lies." fema has had to make a whole section of its website devoted to debunking false conspiracy theorys and disinformation about the hurricane and the response that have been spread among other people by the republican candidate for president of the united states. the north carolina department of public safety, again with ca everything else they have to deal with, they have also had to make a fact versus rumor new website to help people sort through the trash that is being promoted for political benefit. back in reality, among people actually involved in the response, north carolina's governor has called the federals response to helene, quote, unprecedented. north carolina republican senator thom tillis says he's li impressed with the federal response. he says he is proud of the response effort, that they're doing a great job. a republican state senator in north carolina who represents western north c

in response the charlotte observer editorial board condemns that said it fractures the committee -- communityof trump's allies fema had to create a whole new webpage to debunk the dangerous statements about the agency's work. joining me now to sound off is my panel, my rupert the former campaign manager for julian castro and former campaign advisor for elizabeth warner -- warren and joe walls, director of the social contract and also a member of the republicans for harris initiative. thank you both so much for coming to the sunday show. what is your reaction to donald trump saying all of that nonsense and lies and i can't. it is sunday. >> we don't need to curse. what we can say it is dangerous and that is the way we can condemn it the most. this is a community of people dealing with displacement and shortages. this is a moment that a country should come together in the republican nominee for president is going out of his way to scare people and lying. none of this is true. it is provably untrue but he is doing it because he thinks he can get a political gain from it. >> and yet on that, joe,

saying all of these lies about the federal response, the disaster response it prompted the charlotte observerich is actually one of the most read papers there in the state, to even say please stop saying these lies. essentially why is he being divisive like this? and is it just yet another example of how he approaches these moments that typically bring americans together? >> yeah the frequency of the lies are increasing and also the direction of the lies is is becoming more consistent on a, you know, on a whole series of fronts. he is basically blaming immigrants for all sorts of, you know, almost every major problem in america. they are behind the housing crunch they are immigrants are winning all the new jobs and the society last weekend at this time, he was in wisconsin. he said immigrants will come into your kitchen and cut your throat. and now, of course, he is saying that a federal disaster money that should be going to these affected communities is being spent on migrants. none of those things are true. um, but they are all now unfolding at a moment where i clearly, you know, rather th

here's what "the charlotte observer" editorial wrote, former president donald trump has politicized it at every turn, spreading falsehoods and conspiracies that fracture the community instead of bringing it together. do you think donald trump should leave campaign politics out of disaster relief? >> kristen, again, you have governor kemp who said that the response has been lacking. i understand the democratic governor of north carolina will praise joe biden and kamala haires in the middle of an election season and the fact of the matter is we're more than a week on and still not conducting recovery operations and they're still in rescue operations because kamala harris and joe biden were slow footed and they were overmatched by events. you even had the secretary of homeland security saying there's not enough money left in the fund. so it is the case that the administration itself, the secretary that oversees fema says there's not enough money left in the fund and they have been spending billions of dollars in the last four years to move migrants from our border to put them up in hotels

"the charlotte observer" saying, this is the worst thing donald trump and vance can do right now.lked about the mangroves. suddenly, it's showing up in one of the most respected editorial pages in the world. >> well, that's really a sign of apocalypse, joe. because when you lose you're man groves in a world where we're all wired together and now this stuff can just go anywhere, super fast and super deep. it's terrible. what's happened -- we saw it first with covid, like masks became politics. now, literally, everything is politics. a hurricane becomes politics. >> that really was the line. >> right. >> for bipartisanship. it was like when a catastrophe is headed to a part of this country, republicans, democrats, whatever, all came together to help people whose lives were in danger. >> and basically, all of these problems, we can go back to climate change, they all require what i call complex adaptive coalitions. you need coalitions to deal with them, whether it's globe allies or local allies. people got to pull together. and now everything from our information ecosystem blows peop

she's a reporter with the charlotte observer.orm's devastate impact on north carolina. her newspaper, in fact, has a reality check page to fact check misinformation related to the hurricane and the recovery efforts. and julia, we want to thank you for being with us. i know you've been out on the ground there. tell us, first of all, what you've seen in terms of the devastation. and by the way, you're someone who comes from sanibel island in florida. you have seen hurricanes before, but what did you think of what you saw this time? >> yeah, so i've been on the ground and also up in the air and embedding with pilots who are using helicopters to air drop supplies and also pilots who are in small bush planes surveying the damage, trying to see if roads are accessible, if anyone's sending smoke signals, that sort of thing. i've been both on the ground and in the air, seeing the damage and it's just -- it's extensive. it's eerie how common the sights become, both when you're walking around and flying above, just seeing all of the devast

that they've needed from the biden/harris administration, even went onto warn, as did the "charlotte observer lee, rightly saying that there's a lot of disinformation that he said may be coming from foreign sources to try to distract and try to hurt those people in the states affected by these hurricanes. so donald trump is lying if you believe every republican governor that was impacted by these hurricanes. >> he's also amplified by a lot of power and a lot of reach like elon musk. it seems like right now is the time -- i don't know what the possibility of this is, but it's almost like america needs a disinformation hotline that is live online at all times where people can quickly go and check whether or not something is true and show the sources behind it. but on another point, i'd like to talk about the point you made about abortion. bouncing off of what liz cheney said because it was so important to this election and to what's at stake and how close this is, nobody understands more than women how thard this is right now, how difficult this election is going to be for kamala harris and any

. >> the charlotte editorial, there's child observer editorial board out with this editorial saving shame on donald trump for worsening north carolina's helene tragedy with political lives. so north carolina of course, though, was hit hard by this down trump sees an opportunity typically then disaster in the afternoon, disasters, people come together, the parties typically come together this time trump tries is see trying to take a political vantage, even though he's the federal response is being praised on the ground. >> yeah, political advantage where he's lying about the federal response whether it's at $750 line are also earlier he had said that they were trying to take money from the disaster relief to then go to migrants and to handle migrant. so again, all of this election for donald trump has been about immigration and he's really tried to seize on that to the biggest fears of his base. but that was also aligning what's interesting is that washington post, due a fact check about that, saying that actually it was donald trump in 2019 who took money from a disaster relief pot and pu

money concerns, that is something i have observed in the culture of the fbi since i started there in 2008 as a contractor. i got unofficially with the charlotte field office in late 2015. so i would liketo say this is from my personal experience a change, bufrom whati have seen ere ha always been been careerists within the organization th will destroy people in order to climb the charts. >>well, safe to say, we are not always promoting the st and brightest. >> i wod concur with that statement. >> how do we need to change the cuure? >> i think ere needs to more accountability and a high focus on ethical and moral havior within the organization, and think outside checks and balances where e bureau is not allowed to simply st review their own conduct to truly have an external watchdog force that can actually choose punitive change and measures in the organization. i think that is a big part of it. that what i would advocate for. but i ow a t of folks that ined the fbi that get into it. that is not quite what they expected once they get on the inside so there is a lot of ltural change just from the historical culture of the place. and i would lik
