and it's something that you know, has caused high ranking state department officials like josh paul to step down from from their ranks. and also, it's not going to land well with all of those other people who have been protesting, thoroughly putting their bodies on the line to see the us stop it's involvement in this war. now domestically, the republicans have been targeting harris on how stones on immigration. let's listen to what she said that joe biden and i, and our administration worked with members of the united states congress on an immigration issue. that is very significant to the american people and our security, which is the border and through bi partisan work, including some of the most conservative members of the united states congress. a bill was crafted, which we supported, which i support. now with convinced by well, here's the thing, you know, this is one of those areas where you harris has been criticized for flip flopping on because back in 2019, she had said that she supported di criminalizing the border, meaning that she would have been in support of letting people

josh paul, who did so back in october. so i think that this is going to remain a big issue and another sticking points. we just saw the convention last week. they didn't have any palestinian speakers whatsoever, which the party was highly criticized for. so i think it will continue to be a thorn in the side now domestically the republicans have been targeting harris on has thoughts on immigration. let's have a listen joe biden. and i, and our administration worked with members of the united states congress on an immigration issue. that is very significant to the american people and our security, which is the border and through by part of some work, including some of the most conservative members of the united states congress. a bill was crafted, which we supported, which i support. to me that sounded a bit convoluted and evasive. what's your take? yeah, i think you know, people, 1st and foremost, are going to remember her stance back in 2019, where she a supported di criminalizing the border, meaning that she would, she wo

paul: and kyle, do you think that it was a mistake to overlook josh shapiro, the popular governor of pennsylvania. pennsylvania's state i don't think that anybody thinks the trump will carry the soda even as much at risk. so was a mistake she might come to regret. kyle: i think it might've been a mistake with the reporting is that her advisers told her that we look to the point and we been the test weaving that you can win this presidential election with any of the top three vice presidential choices and so kamala harris went with tim walz a guy who is a progressive and probably alliance with her own instincts on policy and and she avoids any sort of a fight about israel national convention and that is coming up any division within her own party. but i do think that it gives resident trump an opening to say that this is one of the most progressive tickets and long time, tim walz raising taxes on investments, passing a law that said that every individual has a fundamental right to reproductive abortion rights and republicans upset visual does not include any sort of a language excludi

marine, paul whelan and "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovich have been held in russian custody. nbc's joshederman joins us from london, also former ambassador to russia, michael mcfaul. still with us on set is nbc's david rowe. josh, what do we know about this hour about how this deal came about? were there clues this was in the works? >> there certainly were. we know the u.s. has been pushing for this for a long time. certainly since evan gershkovich was arrested last year, and in the case of paul whelan, since his arrest back in 2018, secretary blinken had called it a top priority, but those kinds of u.s. efforts have been complicated by the fact that the u.s. russia relationship is in a bad place. the u.s. embassy in moscow operating with a skeletal staff after multiple rounds of tit for tat expulsions by u.s. and russian diplomats. there haven't been a lot of venues for negotiating something like this on an ongoing basis. the kremlin has maintained, particularly in these espionage cases that they don't like to even discuss or enact any kind of prisoner swaps until there's a guilty verd

josh, thank you. >>> nearly two weeks after he was released in an historic prisoner swap with russia, we are learning new details about paulked directly with the white house to secure his release told andrea mitchell that paul is still down in san antonio where he can stay up to 19 days a t the brook army medical center, which focuses on physical and mental health. >>> so with all paul's courage and as i say, he's doing very well, but he has to begin to rebuild his life now. he lost his job, his home. he lost five and a half years of his ability to earn resources. and so now he starts over and starts to rebuild his life. >> you might remember when he got off the plane and met president biden. the president took off his american flag pin and placed it on him. his lawyer revealed today paul has not taken it off since. that's going to do it for us this hour. join us every weekday 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. eastern here on msnbc and tune in when we take the show on the road next week. i'll be in chicago anchoring live from the democratic national convention. i'll see you then. but first, our coverage continues with katy tur reports, ne

paul ryan he was ruled out in virginia. that said, pennsylvania is so critical that i think you have to think josh shapiro is the leading candidateink for a number of reasons. one, he has that experience and confidence to actually be president. he is a terrific communicator, despite what i said previously, he could lose michigan and wisconsin, they cannot lose pennsylvania. i do not know of where the vp is from matters much but you do have to worry a little, pennsylvania is that important. he also has the ag back. i expect that is the leading candidate. a lot of it will come down to how well they vibe and how much they get along together in the interviews and i think that'll be really critical. >> you make that good point they were both ag's and that will give them the same language and extremes to share. make sure you have some progressive democrats that raise the alarm because of his strong ties to israel. his response to campus protests as well as school vouchers. close to 50 progressive leaders nationwide signed a letter urging harris to pick someone else. that said, he has a 54% approval rating in pennsylvania and a prominen

use a lesson from josh shapiro in winning states in the middle where there are a lot of voters who don't like either the republican candidate or a lot of this progressive agenda. paulith, quoting kamala harris in her own words with some of these liberal positions. i guess this'll be a big test here over the next couple weeks to see if those ads in swing states actually affect her approval rating. >> well, and it's about time too. this is her rell vulnerability, is that she -- real vulnerability, is that she owns the biden agenda just as much as a joe biden does. sure, she can be better in front of a teleprompter than he is. there's a reason she's not doing press conferences. it's because off teleprompter she has just as much potential for word salads as a joe biden does at this point, and they're trying to keep that from happening. but her vulnerability is in pointing out exactly her agenda, and the remarkable thing is that the trump campaign has been so slow off the mark to really focus attention on that. americans are unhappy with joe biden right now, and that is reflected in his approval ratings. and if they tied him to her, she will suffer from the same problem

paul, please keep us posted. i do also want to note we did see an suv moments ago leaving the home of pennsylvania governor josh shapiro. that's in montgomery county, pennsylvania, but just a single vehicle. this is moments ago okay good for what it is at this point, right now, the guy with the most vehicles is tim walz in minnesota. alright, as we await more information on the running mate pick, there's already been a huge change in the democratic ticket. the vice president kamala harris, now at the top of the ticket, obviously a different place and things his word just three weeks ago. so what has the impact been on the ground? are john king went to arizona as part of his all over the map series that tracks the election through the eyes and experience of voters in those states. wants what he found door to door in the scorching desert heat. >> i don't hear though not much of a shadow in the middle of the day looking for votes in a place where every matters. >> we're just going around, talking to voters. >> this is pinal county, arizona. it is rural republican. and the pre canvassing meeting, they saved hydrated includ

josh lederman, nbc news national security correspondent, courtney kube, and nbc news white house correspondent monica alba. bring us up to speed, what are we learning this hour? >> at this hour, ana, evan gershkovich, paul whelan, and alsu kurmasheva are on their way to the united states. president biden tweeting that photograph of them smiling on the way back to the u.s. they will be landing later in the day at andrews air force base where vice president kamala harris and president biden will be on hand to receive them. they'll have a chance to be reunited with their families. obviously we saw some of those relatives at the white house as president biden was speaking later, and vladimir kara-murza, the u.s. national is going to be heading instead to germ nil. they expect at some point he will then be able to come to the u.s. to meet with president biden and others involved in his release. we heard from secretary blinken earlier saying he had spoken to these released americans by phone, that they sounded strong. they sounded like they were in good spirits. and if history is any guide, we expect that after they spend some time in washington, they will likely head to san antonio, where the u.s. military m

josh shapiro is a terrific politician. he is very respected. i think he would be a terrific vice presidential pick. host: next is paul in virginia on the line for independents. good morning. caller: good morning. i would like to say, i was just a youngster when lbj was picked as the vice president. my father who had been a lifelong democrat said the reason lbj got picked was because jack kennedy needed to get texas for the electoral vote. yes, it can matter. in today's room, it is becoming identity politics. it really is. they can deny harris was dei. the thing is joe biden actually stated he would pick a woman of color. when he did his speech in 2022, he said he had to immerse diverse cabinet ever with dei starting with the vice president. another question i have is with all of this going on. three weeks ago, four weeks ago everybody thought joe biden was in. i heard people saying they would vote for him if his head was in a jar of blue gel. back in march they were saying kamala harris needed to be removed from the ticket. maybe joe should find another running mate. it was the bait and switch. vote for joe biden in
