quote, doug mastriano security bubble insulates him from prying eyes and dissenting views. n wednesday in the pittsburgh area, journalists were warned to keep the distance and, not to engage with doug already. his wife. campaign staff and mastriano supporters at one point physically blocked the press. according to the enquirer, musher on his campaign sought to block local news coverage of events, even when they had invited the press. and it's not just local news. even conservative media outlets are having trouble getting access to governor -- not, governor would be governor mariano. a reporter for the conservative website the washington examiner complained an article this week, mastriano refused to talk to the press. i tried numerous times and was told publicly at an event two weeks ago in pittsburgh by his campaign strategist that because i had not written anything nice about him, i would not be granted an interview until i wrote something that was. that is not how journalism works. >> indeed it is not. axios's jonathan swan noted, mastriano rarely appears even on fox news.

that is why they have been worried about doug mastriano. many of the establishment republican leaders here in washington and beyond did not support him in the primary. but look, he is the nominee. but yes, there have been concerns hanging over this race, as you said, for the last several months about his association with anti-semitic groups. no question about it. the republican jewish coalition, a very prominent organization here in washington with donors across the country, was very explicit about this earlier this summer, calling out doug mastriano to say more about his ties to anti-semitism. and doug mastriano did put out a statement at that time. but look, this is still hanging over this race without question. now there is a new ad that's been introduced in this campaign by josh shapiro. of course the democratic attorney general running for governor. he is pointing out that doug mastriano once was pictured in a confederate army uniform when he was an instructor at the army war college. i think we have a picture of that that we can show.

meanwhile, doug mastriano, he has not yet responded to our interview request. norah? >> everyone watching that state as a battleground. robert costa, thank you. >>> well, president biden announces a major investment in electric vehicles, but are drivers ready to switch gears? that story in 60 seconds. >>> in detroit today, president biden announced a $900 million investment to build thousands of electric car chargers across the nation's highway system. but moving to more electric vehicles is easier said than done. cbs' carter evans has tonight's in depth report. >> reporter: with a big push by california to stop selling new gas cars by 2035, ev sales are accelerating. but not all drivers are sold. >> my own concern is the range. where do i find a charger? how far can i really go? >> reporter: it's a question dealership owner john patterson gets from every customer. >> one of the words we hear here is range anxiety. >> reporter: today president biden promised to make recharging more reliable, beginning with the construction of chargers along 53,000 miles of national hi

doug mastriano and pennsylvania kari lake, arizona.deny the results of the 2020 election, steadfastly. and they if they win their gubernatorial races, they would be in the position to just not certify the results if they don't like the winner. doug mastriano and kari lake are a complete extremist who hold extreme views on abortion. in 2019, doug mastriano he even said in interviews he believe women who had abortion should face murder charges under a bill that he proposed in the state senate. >> you can give me a yes or no on this. with that woman who decide to have an abortion, which be considered an illegal abortion be charged with murder. >> let's go back to the basic question there. is that human being? is that a little boy or girl? if it, is it deserves equal protection under the law. >> so you are saying yes? >> yes i am. if it's in a human being, if it's an american citizen, they're a little baby, i don't care what nationality it, it deserves equal rights before the law. >> equal rights for the law, that's basically saying the fe

he's running against doug mastriano.s really using abortion and mastriano's stance there, and he dropped almost $17 million on the first ad of this fall campaign season focused on abortion rights and the impact he says it has on pennsylvania's economy. saying, you know, it's very clear that democrats feel this is the momentum from this and that is an effective way to run against a doug mastriano. >> i think that's exactly right, kaitlan. not only because doug mastriano represents this sort of extreme view that democrats can use to paint most of the republican party with in terms of wanting to take away a woman's right to choose, to have her be a second class citizen in her own country, which is how women feel, but i'm sure he's also seen how successful that tactic has been recently fordismes. new york 19, that's exactly what the gist of the whole campaign was. in kansas, the referendum was tremendously successful, not just among democrats. so i think this message about how doug mastriano represents the most extreme views

doug mastriano is by far the most extreme and dangerous candidate in pennsylvania history.applause] let's look at the facts. start with what he says is his number one already. that is his word, not mine. his number one priority is banning a woman's right to choose. he is also saying that he would leave no room for exceptions. even if a woman's life is at risk, even if she has been raped , leaving no room for exceptions. and he has said he will jail any dr. who performs -- doctor who performs that procedure. those are his words, not mine. not investing in health, schools, public safety, not making sure kids get a fair shot. his number one priority is taking away a woman's right to govern her own body. your multiplying will put a bill on the next governor. he will sign that bill into law. i want you to know where i stand. i will veto that bill.

mehmet oz and the gop's election denying candidate for governor doug mastriano. it's in a commonwealth that president biden won by about 81,000 votes in 2020, and it's the state biden was in thursday night when he called out the threat posed by trump and the trump wing of the republican party. cnn's kristin holmes is there for us at the rally. kristin, what are pennsylvania republicans saying? are they concerned about these candidates right now? >> well, they are absolutely concerned. according to both trump advisers as well as state republicans that i spoke to besides the fact that trump has privately criticized both candidates particularly oz, his campaign, his performance, they believe it is too late for him to actually distance himself from these races. as you said, he hand picked oz and despite pleas from state republicans endorsed mastriano in the 11th hour. so the hope now is that trump's popularity in the state will actually boost these lagging campaigns, but i've got to tell you, jim, it might be a heavy lift, particularly when it comes to oz. i have spo

one of the most predominant is doug mastriano in pennsylvania. he was there.is decision, i know this doesn't have bearing on other courts. i think it's interesting that the judge says it's not about whether or not you committed an act of violence on that day but the fact that you participated in that day, you endorsed what was happening that day, you bragged about it later, was enough to say you were a part of the insurrection. >> yeah, and, you know, again, because there's no precedent here, it's a little open as to what it means to engage in an insurrection and that's the language that's used in the constitution in the 14th amendment. engage in insurrection or rebellion. it also says, katy, or provide comfort to those who do. and so it may be enough to just help others. you don't have to be the one committing violence as long as you're there and supporting others who are. it seems like his reasoning is sound. but really it's a matter of process, whether that will hold up on appeal and whether the courts will duplicate this. another interesting thing, each st

doug mastriano is an example. he has said in debates abortion is his number one issue and yet we haven't heard him give a speech about abortion, mention abortion on the campaign trail other than just in passing, celebrating the dobbs decision but not going deeply into what that means for voters moving forward. it's not a politically positive issue for republicans right now and i think they're very much aware of that. >> they haven't figured out how to message it. even though it's very real -- it's happening all across the states. take a look at the map here. the states here you see in deep red on your screen, states like texas and along the south here, those are the states where abortion has actually been banned in this country. there are some other serious restrictions taking place, in ohio and georgia and then you have the court fights where this is still playing out, still uncertain exactly what's going to happen in a state like michigan where there is a big race there. some big house races taking place and key

but when you look at the state level officials, all it takes is like you said a pennsylvania, doug mastrianorill down to that level is that a number of these candidates are doing pretty well. for example, mark in arizona is out raising the democrat there for secretary of state. why did the system hold less time? because just a few -- a hand full of republicans said no. brad raffensperger in georgia, rusty pobowers in arizona and i michigan there are democrats. again, all it would take is a few of these positions. >> for all the talk on the democratic side about democracy, as you pointed out, republicans are fired up about these election related positions, secretaries of state and further down, more local than that. democrats have to figure out how to energize their supporters actually around these elections around the country other-wise they're going to find themselves in the position they're in states like arizona critically important state however, you have a governor potentially a gubernatorial nominee, potential secretary of state nominee, both election deniers. >> today south carolina s

and when we're talking about doug mastriano, i was thinking about the late 1970s, which unifier kinde religious right, the moral majority and they really fueled ronald reagan's campaign that he won in 1980. but one of the things that they were running a, the moral majority was was basically demonizing and humanizing gay people. jerry falwell, people remember him as a leader of the moral majority, said the gay people wanted to kill other americans. other people of the moral majority said the gay people could be killed under god's law and reagan's own liaison to the religious right said when he saw gay rights marching, he wanted to ram his car into them and kill them. so the republican party has been accepting and using and exploiting and biting into the tenth far-right extremist, whether they fundamentalist, racist, people who prove a conspiracy theory, whether it's mccarthy-ism or qanon, for 70 years now. so trump is not an aberration as you know. he is a continuation and certainly an escalation of what has been a crucial part of the gop dna. >> and david, my sense of the top of the

whether it's doctor oz or doug mastriano. is that what pennsylvania voters want?great question stephanie. let me just compliment you on that interview. it was a fantastic interview from the perspective of news. and also it was interesting to watch fetterman. i've covered the senate for about 20 years and i would say he would be the upper actual on the terms of the ability to respond to questions of senators i've watched over that period of time. as far as pennsylvania goes look most voters in pennsylvania don't think that there should be a total ban on abortion. which is a position that doctor oz has taken. and took it mean -- now he's trying to change that position. that is seen as extreme by most pennsylvanians. the vast majority and -- as it is by the vast majority of -- voters. the question is on the tables now before the dobbs decision there's a question of whether abortion should be legal in most cases based on the supreme court ruling. now that's been reversed. >> stewart, donald trump has already endorsed doctor oz, trump supporters are going to be trump s

. >> the former president was in pennsylvania campaigning for doug mastriano who is running for governor, and dr. mehmet oz running for senate. he spent large portions of that rally, his first since the agents seized documents from his florida home using that search to fire up his most passionate supporters. >> thank you. >>> to ukraine where president zelenskyy is warning of a difficult winter as energy problems plague his country and other parts of europe. the power supply at europe's largest nuclear plant inside ukraine was compromised again this weekend, forcing to it run on generators. he told david maher, they are using the plant as a talking in weapon. >> you see they occupy our it means six biggest dang.he they that means that they use nuclear weapon. that is nuclear weapon. >> meanwhile, ukraine says it has taken at least three more towns back from the east and south. david maher will have more of this interview on a special edition of world news tonight from kyiv. >>> it's time now for a look at your labor day weather. >>> the extreme heat in the west is not letting up. tempera

you saw this example recently of the democrats helping doug mastriano in that pennsylvania governor'srace that made you feel icky. i don't know if you saw this is the it's like a white nationalist, insane person who is who's going to who's the republican nominee for governor. he was there on january 6th. he's going to be the republican nominee for governor of pennsylvania. and and, you know, the democrats, because he was going to be easier to beat. they did some ads to help boost him. you know, the first order person to blame for doug mastriano being the republican nominee is the republicans who voted for him. but but, you know, it's still you get a little caught up in the clever tactics. i think when you're doing that. so i think that there are some lessons that are broadly applicable you in profiling yourself and profiling i don't know that you of you are you know, you talk about your motivations. you talk about your being closeted and the effect that that had in being able to compartmentalize. obviously all of that. i'm curious when look at all of the other people who you wrote abo

it is so ironic that you see folks like doug mastriano wrapped himself in the cape of freedom.. that is what his agenda is, to take us back to a dark, twisted version of this country that is so many people have struggled and died to pull us closer to the promise of this country. that is what the agendapac.org is about. that we can go and engage in this conversation. -- >> state representative malcolm kenyatta, thank you so much for coming back to the sunday show. coming back a sign of standoff with my all-star panel with this week's news. don't go anywhere. were delayed when the new kid totaled his truck. timber... fortunately, they were covered by progressive, so it was a happy ending... for almost everyone. when you can't sleep... try zzzquil pure zzz's gummies. they help you fall asleep naturally with an optimal dose of melatonin. and a complementary botanical blend. so you can wake up refreshed. for better sleep, like never before. some days, it felt like asthma was holding me back. but asthma has taken enough. so i go triple... with trelegy. with 3 medicines in 1 inhaler,.

that is not doug mastriano, he is a true believer that the election was rigged. suing the genuine sixth committee to keep him from testifying. republicans see that as a massive liability if they want to flip the governors mansion. host: the former president spoke in wilkes-barre. i want to play you the comments of donald that rally in the state of the make america great movement. >> he thinks making america great again is a threat to our country. no, making america great again is great for our country. >> [applause] >> there is only one party waging war on american democracy by censoring free speech, criminalizing dissent, disarming law-abiding citizens, issuing lawless mandates and unconstitutional orders, imprisoning political protesters. that is what they are doing, rigging elections. weaponizing the justice department and the fbi like never, never before. >> [audience booing] >> and rating and breaking into the homes of their political opponents, i wonder who that could be? >> republicans in themaga movement are not the ones trying to undermine our democracy.

he will be promoting doug mastriano and dr. mehmet oz. jim johns is joining us. >> reporter: the president heading up to labor day celebrations in pittsburgh, pennsylvania as well as milwaukee, wisconsin. later in the week the president is expected to fly over to central ohio to attend a ground breaking. what all of these places have in common is that they are battleground states and labor day is traditionally the time when campaigns start bearing down and voters start paying more attention to the candidates. joe biden is not on the ballot but all of this travel does indicate what the biden people may be thinking as we head into the mid terms. it was originally thought the president would not be doing that much especially because of the issues back there. now that people look at it more closely, there are some changes to the challenges. some hope among democrats that this election will not be as bad for them as first thought. still, democrats are well aware of the fact that first-term presidents tend to lose seats in their first mitt-term

from michigan for minnesota to new mexico, and doug mastriano, if he were to win as republican governor charge of appointing secretary of state to run the state's elections. but you're seeing it across the country for attorneys general. this is a situation here where it's not just governors at the forefront of their state's elections, but also the secretary of state and all-important attorneys general races, too. >>> thank you both. >>> legal trouble is brewing to steve bannon. nearly two years ago he received a pardon from president trump in a federal fraud case. now he's expected to face a state indictment in new york. he plans to turn himself into tomorrow, citing people familiar with the situation. in a statement first given to nbc news, he gives the charges phony, claiming the, quote, partisan politicization of the criminal justice system. tom winter is here with me. what do we know about this expected indictment. >> we don't have a lot of details. our colleague jonathan dean has just wrapped up a press conference, and he asked if what is expected tomorrow, and he declined comments
