this diverts attention from people like jon tester in sherry brown.re running tough constituencies. menendez facing charges in court wednesday and he will do for a government shutdown. ashley: thank you very much. let's bring the political panel, patrice onwuka and fred hicks. i think this is interesting, could it shake up the balance of power in the senate in 2024 this is a solid blue state, having said that these are serious accusations and they are just that, accusations but could this change things could a door be slightly opening. >> it certainly seems so certainly menendez is doing his party and his movement in the benefits right now by staying in his office and his seat. new jersey is a solid blue state but that's not to say republicans have not made inroads and you have a republican governor there and you see some interesting things happen so it would not surprise me. it is an embarrassment to say the least. ashley: what do you say to that fred. menendez says, i'm guilty, i'm not guilty until you prove it, he had an explanation for the cash in

[cheers and applause] so you hear it from the audience. and that's why they are here today is to send a message to washington that they're not happy with the way things are going, guys. >> steve: absolutely. and that's why -- that is the beauty of the diner segments that we started like six years ago. lawrence, i know you landed in bozeman yesterday. just set the scene. how gorgeous is it out there? i have been there, ainsley said she has been out in the big sky country. i'm sure brian has been out there, too. >> lawrence: yeah, so i got in about 9:30 last night. i have been to montana many times. i didn't get to see all the beautiful mountains. but the moment i landed, the people were so kind. i got to tell you, it has been great to join y'all on the couch, but it's -- i feel so good to be back in the field, talking with the voters about what really matters. >> steve: well, and we are going to do that today. >> ainsley: the diners are so fun, aren't they? you get to meet the people

senator jon tester told the hill you have to be concerned about those poll numbers there is no enthusiasm blumenthal said there is work to be done stronger messaging more aggressive campaigning. democrats are wetting the bed. >> this bedwetting we are say what democrats is really happening. they make that joke themselves for the age issue the economy there are some polling this week that showed a lot of voters a significant amount of voters think biden might have been part of her knew what was going on with hunter biden making this money >> the end of september will tell us if biden remains in the race that's when fundraising numbers are posted and right now his fundraising numbers are staggeringly low. big donors on the sideline and small donors are nonexistent. how do you run a campaign without covid? the new plan is to demonize trump. democrats are planning a stop trump summit this fall in manhattan attendees include robert de niro. kelly and conway's husband al sharpton. the former president cowering in the corner at the iowa iowa state game. >> usa usa usa. throwing spirals flipping

the report brought the scathing response from your fellow democrat, senator jon tester, at the hearing this is really frustrating for me to say but we've got to do better. we've just got to do better. this is just, this isn't sailable. it's keeping more people out of our military. it's ruining lives and families. and so we all need to work together and make sure this happens. >> i'm sure you agree. you've got to do better. what are you going to do to make sure you do? >> first of all, we're incredibly saddened by this incident and our heart goes out to the family of that veteran, the friends. the first thing that we are going to do is learn every lesson we can from this. we're really grateful for the inspector general digging into this. we have concurred with each of his recommendations for us and we've begun implementing those with great urgency to insure we don't repeat that kind of incident. we are seeing some evidence that we are making good progress on the veterans crisis line. since we shortened it to 988, as a veteran, if you're in crisis today, they need only dial 988 and press

montana's jon tester is the latest to speak out, and also, montana and wisconsin's senators are alsoing the allegations could undermine his ability to serve and also very influential former speaker nancy pelosi. >> the charges are formidable, and probably a good idea if he did resign. >> and yesterday, bob menendez said he would be exonerated, and he has no plans to step aside. >> a third person has been arrested and charged with the death of a 1-year-old boy at a child care facility. the officials also released the picture of another suspect they are searching for connected to the horrific tragedy. the person they are searching for is the husband of the day care provider, and she is already charged, but he is seen here with these images carrying out a bag with what they believe is fentanyl in it on the very same day this happened before the emergency responders arrived on the scene. sara. >> and next hour, president biden is going to leave for michigan to join workers on the picket line, and a strategy that is an unpredented move. that is straight ahead.

from arizona senator mark kelly telling me, we need a border barrier in some places, and senator jon testerntana, says democrats mow this is a problem. -- know this is a problem. democrats insist that the border is closed and secure. if this is a secure, closed border, what does an open border look like? >> i think we need to do a lot more -- i don't know what democrats you're talking about, but the democrats i visit with understand that there's more work to be done on the southern border, and we need to put some more resources down there. >> reporter: so why isn't the president doing that? >> it's a better question for the president. >> reporter: so, stuart, bottom line we've heard a lot of talk about comprehensive immigration reform, but this problem has been going on for years. we've been covering it, and it seems that congress is no closer to a solution. stuart? stuart: hillary, thank you very much, indeed. let's bring in congressman mark green, republican from the tennessee. congressman, nearly a hall million -- half million venezuelans are going to get temporary legal status so they c

. >> lawrence: if i'm a democrat in a swing state like jon tester i'm furious at the president.ze the republicans in those races are going to run on this issue? that it was a signature issue -- probably going to be his opponent, donald trump. he has no response to this? >> ainsley: and ayanna pressley, she is the congresswoman from massachusetts. she is a democrat. she was on with jake tapper. she claimed in this interview that the southern border is secure. he was like, what? you really think it's secure? and she said oh, yeah. it's secure. meanwhile, she did call it a crisis. and we played that soundbite earlier and lawrence picked up on that. and he said but you are calling it a crisis. can you have a crisis and a secure border at the same time? no. which one is it? >> lawrence: it just doesn't make any sense. >> brian: house oversight committee james comer said he subpoenaed the bank records of will joe biden and hunter biden part of the impeachment inquiry. >> ainsley: an irs whistleblower claiming hunter hoped his legal troubles were going to vanish once his father became

jon tester from montana who is going to be in heated race at the border needs some attention.f course, gavin newsom was just on hannity on wednesday and said there are some challenges at the border. so every democrat that has a brain right now, because they know it's going to be a big issue in the next election, brian, are acknowledging that there is some sort of problem at the border. >> brian: right. there is a problem. how about a town of 28,000 as you mentioned, ainsley, with 8,000 a day crossing. we are almost at the levels of all of 2022 right now and 2023 of illegals come across let alone the got-aways. if you are the president of the united states. and you want to get four more years mysteriously, yet the economy is not good. foreign policy doesn't rate high. you don't have a good rating right now -- approval rating overall. what could you do when you lose head to head with governor haley by 6 and most polls to the former president trump? you have to quickly vilify your opponent. but, first point out something that is not happening. and this is bipartisan. listen to th

sherrod brown in ohio, bob casey in pennsylvania, tammy baldwin in wisconsin, jon tester in montana,re all senators who are facing tough re-election bids and want to show that even though there is another member of their party who is facing legal issues that they believe that the details that have come out, the evidence that emerged in this indictment is just too much and that he needs to step away from his position. menendez struck a defiant tone in his press event yesterday, saying he intends to be the senior senator from new jersey, long after these allegations are adjudicated. but he has yet to say whether or not he plans to run for re-election. and already he's facing a potential democratic primary challenger in the form of congressman andy kim, who is also from new jersey, and there is the possibility that other democrats could jump into the race as well. but we know that he is now stepping away from his powerful position as the chair of the senate foreign relations committee, the question, ana, as he returns back to washington today, will he still be able to do the day to day

jon tester in montana, saying that he does not have the right to continue to be a senator if he is not trusted. you need allies. you need people to co-sponsor your bills. people to vote with you. if democratic senators no longer believe that, it calls into question. one other person calling on me nen menendez to step aside is nancy pelosi. >> right now, sadly, because of the challenges we face, is skepticism about governance, the republican party that doesn't believe in governance, doesn't believe in science. wants to take down everything in order to give tax breaks to the wealthiest. we've got to stay focused on that and for that reason, it would probably be a good idea if he did resign. >> now, look, pelosi understands the power of this issue. she ran for the first time in 2006 against what she calls a republican culture of corruption. it also has a connection to 2024. a lot of democrats want to run and present themselves as the party of good government, clean government, contrasted with what they will call donald trump's culture of corruption and criminality with the allegations tha

. >> and what about folks like sherrie browne, jon tester as well?sly in states that were won by trump. how do they play this as they get closer and closer to an election? >> you know, that's exactly right. not only do they have their own races to think about, but those particularly ohio, it's going to be an enormously important state in the electoral college. again, they like, biden, police the most powerful message is talking about what they as legislators, or the president, as the executive, has delivered. for ordinary americans, you know, kind of kitchen table issues, lowering prescription drug prices, you know, decreasing employment, but improvement, to some extent, in wages. so, you know, we are doing the job that government is supposed to do. we're not fighting a culture war issues. that is all that trump wants to do. he is selfish. he is not about you. you know, you see that in biden's advertising. great. >> all right, chris smith for us. thank you, chris. really good piece. by the way, if you, can't read it and in vanity fair. to talk more a

senator jon tester told the hill, quote, you got to be concerned about those poll numbers. there's just no enthusiasm sena. >> richard blumenthal says, quote, there's work to be done stronger messaging, more aggressive campaigning. democrats are wetting the bed. i this whole bed wetting that we're seeing right novew amongst democrats is really happening. and yes, they make that joke themselves in terms of bedts is wetting. i mean, the age issue, the economy. there was some polling thireeni. s week that we also saw that showed a lot of voters a significant amount of voters i think that biden might have been part of oof r knew about what was going on with hunter biden making all this money from foreign companiesiden mig n he was vice president. >> so that doesn't bode well for him. this isn't the end of september. we'll tell us if biden remains in the race. that's when fundraising numbers are posted. and right now, biden'stell fundraising numbers are rumored to be staggeringly low. >> un the big donors are still on the sidelines and small donors are nearly nonexistent. s >> d

moments ago, democratic senator jon tester of montana released this statement that reads, i've read thes a fair trial, like every other american, i believe senator menendez should resign for the sake of the public's faith in the u.s. senate. this morning, tester and senator tammy baldwin of wisconsin joined three other democratic senators calling for menendez's ouster. this comes after a federal indictment alleged menendez and his wife accepted bribes in exchange for exerting his political influence. menendez has denied the allegations. and even had an explanation for the wads of cash stuffed in his jackets. he said he has no plans to resign. we'll be covering this developing story throughout the morning right here on msnbc. and that does it for us this morning. we'll see you tomorrow. ana cabrera picks up the coverage in one minute. >>> right now on "ana cabrera reports," a president on the picket lines. this hour, president biden will head to michigan to become the first president in modern history to join workers on
