reviving the same lame democrat attacks they did against john mccain and mitt romney, nikki haley and paul ryan and trump is about to speak in tempe, arizona and we'll bring it to you live when he comes out. congressman scott perry is here on kamala harris botching the scene at town hall and frustrating everyone and word salad answers as long as a dictionary. steve forbes is with us and taking on kamala not even able to talk up her own policies. plus, this story. >> i pledge that i am going to bring forward that bipartisan bill to further secure our border. >> it calls for $650 million earmarked under trump to go and build the wall. >> i'm not afraid of good ideas where they o turnovers and? >> you don't think it's stupid anymore? >> he didn't do much of anything? >> you want to build some wall? >> i want to strengthen our border. liz: seriously, why can't she answer the question? a new homeland security report, the biden harris white house literally importing hundreds of people connected to the tren de aragua kang and rife fire fighter congressional delegation and legendary crime fighter and f

then a different category you don't know what paul ryan is thinking, george w. bush, now, in texas a couple weeks ago when i was with, when i was interviewing liz and a couple days earlier she had endorsed kamala harris and i asked her if her dad was voting, she said her dad was voting for kamala harris it made a little news. the follow up i heard from a lot of people that day, where is w? when are we going to hear from him? i don't think it is that big of a deal. there is a solid, public core of republicans but big names are out there that have not spoken out. i think this is, this is an important election. i hate to be overstating this. i think it is that big >> and the dick cheney news. now, let me go to you. i will ask you, kind of a similar question. no pressure, wisconsin is kind of a key decider here in the outcome of this election as you know well. the birthplace of the republican party as we all have been learning in the past 24 hours, as you talked to people after the rally and in advance of it, how much of it? do the endorsements of the security offic

then, the whole other category, you don't know what paul ryan is thinking. george w. bush -- so, in texas a couple weeks ago, when i was interviewing liz, and a couple days earlier, she had endorsed kamala harris. i asked her if her dad was voting, who her dad was voting for, she said her dad is voting for kamala harris, made a little news. but, the predominant follow-up i heard from a lot of people that day was, where is w? when are we going to hear from him? and i don't think it is that big of a deal, because i think there is a pretty solid core of republicans, but some really big names are out there, who haven't really spoken out. i think, look, this is as it an existential of an election as people have said, i hate to be overstating this, but i think it is that big. >> and you are right, the dick cheney news, that was really big. let me just go to you, let me ask you a similar question -- no pressure, but wisconsin is kind of a key decider in the outcome of this election, as you know well. it is also the birthplace of the republican party, as we all have been lear

> joining me now, former advisor to the obama campaign and a former press secretary to candidate paul ryan. good to see you. i want to get your take to the early voting numbers. nearly 12 million have voted so far and we are already seeing record turnout in north carolina. especially georgia, where the numbers there were nearly double the numbers in 2020. republicans are promoting early voting more this cycle but is that message reaching? do you think early votes will be less heavily democratic than they typically are? >> let me start by saying this is great. it's great when people are participating early and that is a terrific development. i think republicans will vote earlier than we are used to. or excuse me, then we have seen recently in spite of donald trump who continues to get in the way of that but a lot of effort is taken to actually sort of at the state party level and campaign machinery to really try to promote it so i think there will be republicans. it is hard to tell what to make of it so far. i have to say as a georgian, people are voting a lot. there was a lot of attention

vice president biden campaigning against paul ryan.f bettering any republican running for vice president who dares invoke the name of jack kennedy. it gets the audience every time and even got paul ryan. joining us now from a debate watch party in michigan is our beloved friend, jacob soboroff, nbc news national correspondent. tell us what you are doing in michigan. >> reporter: so, steve kornacki is the one that suggested we come to oakland county, michigan and the reason is that the swing in the vote was a 100,000 vote swing in the 2020 election. essentially a flip to michigan from former president trump to president biden. the county is one of the three most populous counties in the state. oakland county in recent years has been leaning democrat. when you talk to folks around here, they say you don't go three days without seeing one of four candidates for president or vice president in this area and i think that they are all very excited about what is going on in the election. i was looking at statistics and in 2022, michigan, anoth

. >>> joining us now with more, brendan buck, former press secretary, and paul ryan, political analystchael hardaway, former spokesperson, and congressman hakeem jeffries. i thank you both for your time. michael, as the vice president prepares the campaign with the obamas, the white house and the harris team have been in touch about how she plans to distance herself from president biden. here is some of what she told fox news. >> let me be very clear, my presidency will not be a continuation of joe biden's presidency. and like every new president that comes in to office, i will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh and new ideas. i represent a new generation of leadership. >> michael, how is she handling this issue? >> here's the thing. president biden inherited covid economy. he's got a number of wins, but it's not enough in the context of the current world that we live in. so, she doesn't have to disparage him or try to step aside from him. all she has to do is say, this is what was done. this is what i'm going to do next. she needs to expand and extend th

they would love one day to vote for not paul ryan but some version of that party. what herr is is doing is trying to cut down the voters they feel is too liberal. they have clips from 2019 of harris endorsing ideas that she no longer supports. i noticed republicans releasing clips highlighting those ideas. that is part of the strategy, harris was seen as liberal and 2019, she has been seen less liberal, less liberal than trump as seen as conservative and narrowing the grip trump has on the economy and immigration. will this person be with me if i am the liberal trump puts in his campaign ads? >> what is liz cheney saying up there? >> there is to core messages the harris campaign wants liz cheney to put out there and reach the targeted voters. one is the message of preserving democracy. republican who served on the january 6 committee who led those hearings and laid out some of the most damning evidence about the actions of president trump in the lead up to generate six and the day itself now confirmed in the unsealed filing. that is a core message and in the latest

. >> brian: with paul ryan and mitt romney.round hillary clinton said there is too much evidence what he wants to do. what about what she has done at the border, with crime and at the grocery store? she and joe biden, prices are through the roof. >> lawrence: this is an attempt to shame voters and say you can't vote on the issues that matter to you because it is embarrassing, you would be spoe spo supporting the second coming of hitler. >> ainsley: we had four years with him, he was not a hitler. >> steve: there are 20,000 people standing up, wearing maga hats. >> brian: it was 16,000 and 5000 on the outside. >> ainsley: they have a safe space to wear some of those hats. >> brian: i think the maga hat is not a lightning like it has been. >> steve: it is 8:12 in new york city. aurora, colorado councilwoman is referring to tren de aragua. >> brian: that infamous venezuelan gang. they suggest some officials within the aurora police department knew about the migrant gang threat for a year. >> ainsley: brooke singman has details. >>

bush, we had from a paul ryan who said something more than i am not backing trump? >> well, stephanie, i kind of have a going out of business sale for optimism of the republican party. it is never too late. when you read this about what general kelly was saying, what you read in the woodward book. this is extraordinarily dangerous. i know some of these people, i know they really do care about america. and i hope that they will come forward. liz cheney, the vise president cheney, they set an example here. these are people who are true patriots, jeff duncan from georgia. i would think you would want to be on that side of history when this is remembered. and it could matter. voters out there. you look at bush, trump voters. those are somebody that maybe in '16 they voted for biden, to hear from bush now it will make a difference. far from me to tell a former president what to do. >> conner, i don't remember if i lost that student council election, i just thought my signs were winners and a guy slowed up and he had amazing vote nirvana you can do anything. i did not win

he was letting paul ryan run the country. i said he was not doing anything different. he made a promise with the wall. when are you starting? when are you deporting the dreamers? it was quite a long cursing argument. publicly, i started my border wall construction update, which i would send out every day during the trump administration. miles built today, zero. miles built yesterday, zero. next update tomorrow. i did that basically throughout the trump administration. he finally started to build the wall or a fence or whatever. in his last year in office, and according to his own homeland security, he built miles. let's hope with j.d. vance he learned his lesson and will keep his promises. but no, he has viciously denounced me on twitter several times. i am always out and about winding my -- minding my own business and people start emailing me, why is trump attacking you? what did you do? he has attacked me. he is not famous for his loyalty. but once again he is the only person running. it is between kamala harris and donald trump. there is no chance of walz. i am sorr

had done nothing about the trade issues that he had promised to at that point and he was letting paul ryan on the country. and i said he wasn't doing anything different the then jeb formation point would've done and he made a promise and where is the wall and when are you starting and when are you deporting the dreamers? and it was quite a long cursing argument. publicly i started my border wall construction update which i would send out every day during the trump administration and what mile was built today?'s order to build the wall or a fence or whatever but in his last year in office and according to his own security department only built 47 miles and let's hope with jd vance he will learn this lesson and keep his promises. he is viciously denounced me on twitter several times and i am always out and about minding my own business and people started emailing me why is trump attacking you? what did you do? he has attacked me. he is not famous for that. it is between kamala harris and donald trump. and biden put her in charge of immigration. that is the number one issue. and 12 million ha

he was letting paul ryan run the country. i said he wasn't doing anything different than jeb! would've done. when is the wall? when are you deporting the dreamers? it was quite a long cursing argument. publicly, i started my border wall construction update, which i would send out every day during the trump administration. miles built today, 0. miles built yesterday, 0. next update, tomorrow. i did that physically throughout the trump administration. he started to build the wall or fence in his last year in office and built 47 miles. so let's hope, with jd vance, he has learned his lesson and will keep his promises this time. he has denounced me on twitter several times. i'm always out and about minding my own business and people start emailing me, why is trump attacking you? what did you do? so yeah, he's attacked me. he is not famous for his loyalty, but once again, he's the only person running. i mean, it's between kamala harris and donald trump. no matter how much she tries to run from her responsibility, biden put her in charge of immigration, and that is the number one is

they would love to be voting not for paul ryan, but that version of the party against democrats. they don't think they can get there if trump wins. the other part of what harris is doing is trying to cut down the number of voters who think she is too liberal. they have clips from 2019 of harris endorsing ideas that she no longer supports. i noticed some republicans today read tweeting liz cheney from 2019, highlighting those ideas. highlighting left-wing democratic ideas that harris no longer runs on. that is part of the strategy. harris, who was seen as very liberal in 2019 and was not that popular as vice president three months ago, has been seen incrementally as less liberal than she was months ago. and also narrowed the advantage that trump has on the economy and immigration. that is part of the strategy. look who i am with. with this person be with me if i were the liberal that donald trump is saying in these campaign ads. >> what is she saying? >> there are two core messages that the harris campaign wants to be able to deliver and reach these target voters that i will tell

we will hear from paul ryan who said something more than i'm not backing trump. >> well, stephanie.s going out of business for any optimism about their republican party. but it is never too late when you read this about what they were saying and what you would read in that woodwork book that it is extraordinarily dangerous. and i know they really do care about america. i hope that they will come forward. liz cheney, the vice president, they set an example here. these are people who are true patriots. i would think you would want to be on that side of history when this is remembered. the voters out there as you would look at bush and the trump voters. maybe they voted for biden. you would hear from them now that it would make a difference. i don't know. it is hard for me to tell them what to do, but i certainly hope so. >> i don't actually remember if i lost that student council election, that i just remember my signs that i thought were total winners. and the guy showed up, where he amazing signs. he could do anything. and so i definitely didn't win on the sign game. all right, when

so you shouldn't think about the paul ryan, mitch mcconnell trump tax bill. you should think about what he's planning now. it's a little bit of a complicated case to me. i think it has sunk in a little bit with highly engaged voters. i just think that there is a lack of runway to make it to the broader public. >> just to follow up on that, i do think it's interesting that elon musk is sort of letting slip this idea that there's going to be some temporary hardship, which he said the other day, he then retweeted to someone saying, it's going to be rough on we do the stuff. but we will be better off in the long run. that's a really remarkable thing for the world's richest man to be saying about the actual promise of the campaign is working for, which is like, oh, yeah, you're going to take it on the chin. >> a disastrous message. very undisciplined. the harris campaign we have seen put this out. i think they can help resonate in this final day is a supporting point of, they are saying it. if you're in the fence, if you're the type of wall street journal republic

you should not think about the paul ryan, mitch mcconnell tax bill you should think what he is planning now. a complicated case to make. it sunk in a little bit with really highly engaged voters but i think there is a lack of runway to make it to the public. >> i think elo musk slipping there will be temporary hardship and retweeted to someone it is going to be rough when we do this stuff but we will be better off. that is a really remarkable thing for the world's richest man to say about the promise of the campaign he is working for which is oh, yeah, you are going to take it on the chin >> yes. disastrous message. undisciplined. he is savvy in a way that elon is not. and the harris campaign you have seen them put it out. i do think that can help resinate in the final days as a supporting point. they are saying it. if you are on the fence. if you are the type of wall street journalist voter i was talking about, just listen to what he is telling you, elon is saying there will be hardship, trump is saying tariffs, this is not good for your 401k. >> are we in the radar zone until tuesday?

nixon, ford, reagan, bush, romney, paul ryan and donald trump. >> if you listen to democrats on the houseloor they have named every republican this. it is desperation. when you listen to the hillary clinton it seems like she never got over losing the presidency. she is angry. she will always go to the other side and she is known to do this. this is real desperation. the key parts i would look at today, kamala harris has spent a billion dollars and nobody can tell me the three things she would do if she was elected president. she can't answer that question. you've got the swing states that are key for whoever will win the presidents, wisconsin, pennsylvania, those incumbent democrat senators are running ads with trump, not against him. but hugging him. that's a bad sign for her. and then if you watch these polls, if you compare them to where we were four years ago, even "the new york times" poly think it had probably biden up eight today. it is tied. fox poll has trump winning the national vote. then you have president trump coming to madison square garden. what republican could do that an

ande then a whole different category where you don't know what paul ryan is thinking. george w. bush in texas a couple weeks ago when i was interviewing liz and a couple days earlier she had endorsed kamala harris, and i asked her who her dad was voting for, and she said her dad was voting for kamala harris, made a little news. the predominant follow-up i heard from a lot of people that day is where's w.? when are we going to hear from him? there is a pretty solid core of republicans, but some really big names are out there who haven't really spoken out. i think this is as existential an election as people have said. i hate to be overstating this, but it is that big. >> it ishi and the liz cheney news, which is significant newss ben, let me go to ask a similar question. it's also the birthplace of the republican party, as we all have been learning over the last 24 hours. but as you've talked to people after that rally and even in advance of it, how much does a liz cheney -- do these endorsements of t these nationa security officials and republican officials matter to the voters

bush and mitt romney and paul ryan.opinion argues the only people who believe these nazi and fascist comparison are the brain washed democrat voters. no one should believe any of these attacks. after all, democrats have a six decade long history of being proven wrong in comparing republicans to fascists and nazis. again that's a quote. one headline with democrats turn up heat on rhetoric after they vow to cool political temperature. civility and unity, kamala ups rhetoric to assassination attempt levels. one day after president trump was shot at the rally in butler, pennsylvania, this statement. >> president biden: want to speak about the need for us to lower the temperature in our politics. the political rhetoric has gotten very heated. time to cool it down. >> harris: was he lying? sean duffy, former republican congressman from wisconsin, host of the bottom line on fox business. you know, two attempts against one man in one summer. and constant secret service head on a swivel to protect him constantly as our enemies k

that's something paul ryan considered, maybe the administration might go back to that destination basedh flow tax, which i think would integrate the u.s. better into the world trading center than simply going all out for tariffs. as far as tariffs go, we've seen this movie before. the tariff act of 1930, which trump references, has another name. the smoot holly tariff bill. so there's no need to do a science experiment. we can look at the data. rising tariffs increase costs, they increase inefficiency, they make supply chains less flexible, and if the entire world starts raising tariffs, you can see that the effects will just -- it will be something that probably won't continue for a long time in the u.s. for that reason, i doubt that congress would go along with keeping such tariffs in place for a long time, perhaps not even at all. >> all right. james and tobin, we appreciate your perspectives today. thank you very much. >>> meantime, scott cohen krumpbl crunches the data and has a look at how climates have changed in several key battleground states, business climates that is over the

, democrats historically over the last eight years, they even compared john mccain, mitt romney, paul ryaner. meanwhile trump's presidency was marked by global peace, economic growth and stability by some measures, the best we'd had in 60 years, wealth income going up, lowest job for minorities in the country that suffered under the obama years and the biden years. and israel never had a better friend in the white house then donald j. trump. needless to say, americans are just not buying kamala's smear campaign. as of tonight donald trump is up in four separate national polls. up by three in "the wall street journal", up by two according to nbc, up by two and over 50% according to forbes. up by three. these polls looked a lot different four years ago, even though trump lost by razor-thin margin, "the wall street journal" had him down by a whopping ten points in 2020, cnbc showed him down ten, and at this point in 2020, zero national polls show donald trump in the lead. in fact the clear politics average showed biden up by more than eight points at this point in 2020 and now harris is up by

. >> correct, and this is where you have seen the likes of liz cheney, paul ryan, mitt romney, they're no longer the foundation of this republican party here. and if it weren't for, let's be very, very clear, those 2022 midterms i think defined 2024. because there were election deniers running for governor in wisconsin, in michigan, georgia, arizona, for secretary of state, they all lost. and that was a moment that i think that we are looking at sort of what is the dooms dpa, how could they potentially try to manipulate the system today. there are a lot of ways, a lot of counties. not just democratic counties. there's concerns about what are those county recorders and clerks in very red districts, the very red districts, right, some of these maga folks -- >> that trump will win. >> the trump loyal faithful, he will win, but if they don't certify, it will keep the state from certifying. and donald trump has their back. that is the takeaway and where the voters also know who has their back inthe leader of their party, the former president and the guy they believe should be the next presi

bush to your point and mitt romney and paul ryan but with trump it is repetition it is not a one off.eir slogan. he's a fascist he's a dictator he wants to be next hitler dictator it is all they're saying and it is actually really, really dangerous. rachel: they're taking him out of context he's saying i'll be a dictator when we do executive orders it was all said if you watch the clip it was obvious. but they keep using that. by the way, kamala harris was asked to respond to that letter by speaker johnson and leader mcconnell and here's -- [inaudible conversations] >> we all must speak out against any form of political violence and i'm very clear about that. no one should be the subject of violence much less political violence. but the american people deserve to be presented with facts and the truths. and the fact and the truth is that some of the people closest to donald trump when he was president generals, including most recently john kelly a four star marine general had been have been clear about the danger and the threat that donald trump poses to america and the fact that he's

worked for president bush as a spokesperson the democrats said that then and then they said about paul ryan and everybody else. in this one it does feel like there is more of a concerted effort to try to make a closing argument that trump is a fascist and a dictator and danger to america. a far cry from joy, shannon. >> maybe that was the initial strategy from the campaign. they got a burst of energy when she was named to the top of the ticket and joe biden leaving the ticket was a fundraising boost and flying high on that, dnc what was successful and we want to be the hopeful, positive, upbeat gang. as polling has tightened and unfavorables have gone out for harris and walz it feels like there is a specific shift in strategy quoting people who worked with president trump as we've had people come out to say those allegations are not true. i saw a different picture of him. it very much knowing they will use the imagery of january 6th it is clear what the closing argument is. >> marc thiessen's headline. your town. harris's closing argument is dishonest and hypocritical. talking with the form

advisor to the obama campaign and nbc political interests and former press secretary to vp candidate paul ryan to see you both again on a saturday. trump will rally at madison square garden tomorrow night and then former secretary of state hillary clinton compared that to an infamous 1939 rally hosted by a pro nazi group . take a listen to her. >> trump will actually reenact the madison square garden rally in 1939, i write about this in my book, president franklin roosevelt was appalled that neo- nazis, fascists, in america, were lining up to essentially pledge their support for the kind of government that they were seeing in germany. >> what you make of trump holding this rally at this location 10 days out and how do you think it will affect his supporters? >> this is trump choosing to play, you know, game of fascism. this is a guy who literally stole his mantra from that very rally, make america great again, it was said in the madison square garden by those neo-nazis. trump is not as ignorant as many people believe he is. yes, he is a bad decision maker, yes, he takes his cues from a lot of

paul xavier ryan owns this car wash. i look over there and i see mud all the way up to the rooftop. i mean, what does that tell you about how much water you had here? >> it was through the roof. yeah. so it was in my equipment room all the way to the top. literally every piece of equipment i have is pretty much upside down or sideways. i've been told i'm not going to have power for at least two weeks or so. >> even in these dark moments, there are glimmers of hope. >> asheville has taken a big hit. the community is taking a huge hit, but i think the community ultimately, at least the neighbors that i've spoken to, there's nothing but faith that we're going to rebuild and come back as fast as possible and hopefully, you know, rebuild as in the best way we can. i mean, we've got a lot of good people here in this, this asheville community. and they're taking care of each other. so it's been nice to see that people come together. >> with the death toll still rising and damages yet to be fully counted, hurricane helene stands as one of the most devastating weather events ever to hit the

advisor to the obama campaign and msnbc political analyst and former press secretary to bb candidate paul ryanen you hear about the disinformation that antonia and i were talking about during a disaster response, the people that are pushing this narrative tend to be on the republican side of the aisle. shouldn't it be nonpartisan to do storm recovery like this? >> it should be nonpartisan. it should unite both sides of the political spectrum and everyone in the middle towards helping individuals, many of which have lost their lives and their communities and their fighting to save all that they can't get donald trump has shown that he will never let a crisis go to waste is also someone who is known to demonize migrants. he is utilizing this process to continue to do that. with other with the haitian migrants in ohio now we are seeing him spreading rumors about fema and fema funds when we know they are not true. therefore, republicans locally, republican mayors and governors have all stood out and said this is not true. this is something being carried by republicans in the states that are affect

brendan buck, former aide to house speakers, john boehner and paul ryan and an msnbc political analyst is here, and so is adam jentleson, former chief of staff to senator john fetterman and deputy chief of staff to senator harry reid. welcome to you all. you sent us notes on the early data. very interesting. first, you say it shows the blue wall states look strongest for democrats so far. what are you seeing in those states to suggest that? >> well, you know what was surprising to me is we're getting into the data in those states. we've got several hundred thousand votes, millions of votes cast just across those three states. there was an expectation going into the early vote, not just by me but many analysts, we see a big move toward republicans. we have to republican in 2020, there was the pandemic. democrats were more covid conscious. they were much more likely to vote early. republicans were told that voting by mail was fraudulent by donald trump, so they really avoided it. it was a big problem for republicans, and they have changed their strategy, so we expected to see a big shift

a connection you are fascist picnics and gets elected this guy named ronald reagan as a fascist paul ryan is a fascist. so get a new song because this doesn't play anymore. >> martha: generally you think of conservatives and republicans is wanting less government. fascists want total government. >> do you remember the pandemic? >> i think so. >> i want the power of the state. take your money. i will back you up. that's when you consolidate power because everyone is weekend they need the federal government. he says here's your money find your way through. that's the diffusion of power and to me doesn't have those instincts. really just in general. >> it also reminds me of what happened after the first assassination attempt and president biden coming out rightfully so to call for rhetoric to come down in the country because we don't want to see any former president presidential candidate shocked and mike johnson speaking out about this and harris was asked about it. watch this. >> speaker mike johnson put out a statement comparing rhetoric that you have been using comparing to the man who i

when you look at the list of republicans you showed, steve, mitt romney, paul ryan, gerald ford, liked ronald reagan and donald trump are -- were threats to the system. richard nixon. gerald ford and george w. bush and mitt romney were more establishment republican guys it. doesn't matter where are coming from. you are going to be called a fascist. >> steve: just what they're doing right now. we heard for the last year donald trump is a threat to democracy. and today she is going to say in texas donald trump is a threat to abortion rights. and it's going to be next week there is going to be another he is a threat to fill in the blank. that's just what it is variety now. >> the reality is voters hear all of that but they say wait, kamala harris and joe biden have been a threat to my safety and my security. kamala harris and joe biden have been a threat to my ability to make money. my ability to feed my family. the basics that i care about. they are a threat to women in girls sports being able to do it. there is a thousand different ways where common sense collides with this rhetoric of

brendan buck, former top communications adviser to house speakers paul ryan and john boehner and alyssa johnson. ashley, harris has lost her five-point advantage she had after the big debate. in this new poll, the massive gender gap. women for harris, men for trump, broadening and picking up more on the male side. for him. >> that's right. you know, when you talk to the harris campaign, they say, which is true, that you know, from the very day when she emerged with a lot of excitement and fanfare on the top of the ticket, this they had also said this was going to be incredibly close and incredibly hard and essentially a war of attrition. that's what we're seeing. but they're certainly nervous about some of those numbers we're seeing in that poll and others. including that she does not quite have the margins with black voters and black men that joe biden had previously, right? and this is a population. again, there's groups she's doing incredibly well with but this election is going to be decided by an incredibly small sliver of voters in an incredibly small number of states. so if your

brendan buck is a former aide to republican speakers paul ryan and john boehner and an msnbc politicalst. simone sanders townsend is former chief spokesperson for vice president harris and co-host of msnbc's "the weekend." it's good to see all of you. and i know, george, you've been talking to voters there in allentown. what more are you hearing from them? >> reporter: yeah, chris. the consensus here among both groups is the joke simply just was not funny. the difference is those that are still supporting former president trump, those latino voters still supporting him saying look, they understand that this was the comedian's joke and they are adamant that it's not reflecting the views of former president trump. so you actually have people here on the ground, dominicans for donald trump, puerto ricans for donald trump, and so their stance is we will still support the former president as he speaks here in allentown at the ppl arena. on the other side you have the undecided voters and those voters who just say look, we were looking for some way to decide whether or not we were going to p

paul ryan, and mitt romney have not endorsed seems like the part of the republican party from which you come, traditional republican, conservative, strong foreign policy, et cetera is not behind donald trump. and some members, including, i mean, dick cheney is a pretty conservative guy. are supporting kamala harris because they you think donald trump poses such a threat to democracy? >> yeah, i don't agree with that. i think that'll trump's going to cause enormous harm in a second term but he's not an existential threat that overstates it. it's better, you don't want to understate it. you want to get an accurately i'd say this generally, there a lot of republicans that don't like donald trump won little bit and what they're going to do about it falls into three categories, some like dick and liz, although we haven't heard from lin, dick's wife, who is a strong minded woman. i'm curious what she's she might actually even be more conservative than deck could be. yeah some are going to vote for harris as a matter of conscience, i respect that some of us and i'm one of them are going to wri

they've done it to donald trump, even did it to paul ryan. i recall at one point, so i've heard it all before and i think the reason democrats are freaking out about it right now is because what they have learned is that it's not republicans who are the hitler's or the nazis. it's actually emanating from within their own party if you want to find hitler ish nazi-esque anti-semitic tendencies, look on the left, that's what's got. >> you're ducking the issue because this isn't democrats outside hitler, the former president's united's, the former president's chief-of-staff saying this about his boss. it's her knows, everyone when things that the vice president noted states is deputy president. that's not sure chief of staff is actually the deputy president in the united states and when that person comes out and says this is a problem and it's his words, it's not like george w bush ever said. he didn't, he admired hitler the timing and i know that kelly has spoken about this in some ways before, so i don't want to act as if he suddenly putting it

paul ryan was one of the great champions of this particular bill and couldn't get it through i think look, i think we can leave it there facts are the facts on that one, kevin catherine. >> thank you all very much. everyone else stick around because coming up next it's donald trump. he is defending now, spreading those stories about haitian migrants that were in his mind eating pets even when he's facing questions from voters at a univision town hall, we're going to discuss it next kamala harris, mixed wednesday at nine eastern on cnn they are trying to shut down this legal loophole to get 100 milligram generic viagra or 20 milligram generic sialic delivered to your door for just $0.87 in less than two minutes. do this first scan the qr code to go to get friday plans.com then you select if you need generic viagra or salah's, the quantity you need and the dosage. i'll pick 100 milligram. thank you very much. and then their system, we'll see if you qualify. give it a second to find the best deals and boom. look at that. $0.87 for each 100 milligram generic viagra tablet, 20 milligrams

the best chance we had actually was during the first half of the first trump term and paul ryan torpedoed it. that was the best chance we have had in 30 years of comprehensive immigration reform. i think if you see executive authority used to secure the border and large-scale deportation actually begins, i think conditions that exist to have legislation seriously considered that has a chance of survival. damian: a lot of the biggest challenges in the world right now, iran is directly involved in. whether it is hamas, hezbollah, instability in the middle east. former president trump says he would like to engage with iran. how do you think one does that, and what is the process like? ms. ortagus: there are many different ways to engage. i want to set the picture by understanding what iran has done the past four years because it is incredibly important to know what we are dealing with. when i went around the world one of the things i failed to mention is our u.s. navy ships are seeing more action in the red sea than they have seen since world war ii. that is not from a nationstate, that is f

paul ryan was clear with what he would have liked to achieve with control, so you have that rally offblican policies. republican policies today are different than the republican policies of 2016. and i think trying to understand what is a press release, what is a meme and what is actually implementable remains a big question, but i would not be surprised if we see a rally one-way or the other. it depends on if you are a bond investor. it is interesting to say, from january until july, it never touched a smooth measure of volatility. and that is below the moving day average of volatility, so equities remain twitchy overall. you have to respect the fact that investors have strong views that are being lightly held in terms of their willingness to embed them. they have been on a nice, long, steady decline and have spiked higher the last month. thanks income invest -- fixed income investors are worried about tomorrow's unemployment report. jonathan: jack caffrey looking for a boost. good to see you. let's get you an update on stories elsewhere with your bloomberg brief. dani burger. dani:

former speaker paul ryan had a plan to report social security medicare and read about it in "the wallt journal." it had some flaws but it is a good start. he got an ounce by the democrats who created a political ad, showing an ad pushing an old woman over a cliff. that was not a serious response to a proposal. let's get the politics out of it and do it promotes the general welfare. i wish i had written that line. host: florida, publican. caller: good morning -- republican. caller: good morning, c-span. guest: hope you survive the hurricane. caller: yes, both of them. guest: good. caller: i value your opinion very much. a couple things i would like you to respond to, as far as the division of our country, how has this evolved and where is it going? i believe that two parties need to come together. now, vice president harris has forgone the congressional meeting regarding israel. she is the president of congress and should have been there. that caused further division. now i'm here, foregoing the presidential roast that is coming up. so, i would like to get your views on what you think

it was also one paul ryan and john boehner were speakers. >> i think what everyone said adequately representsere we are. if congress wanted to reduce the powers, congress would function better. it would have legislation that was more prescriptive. the reason congress has ceded so much to the presidency is it has chosen to. ok, you figure this out. joe has a unique perspective. members of congress say, you know what? we just passed a huge bill, let's let leadership figure it out. . rank-and-file looks to leadership at the end of congress in a spending bill and just pack as much stuff in as possible. congress is choosing to operate this way. >> that is the vote no, hope yes caucus. i sat on the armed services committee. we drilled pretty far down into policy. it is one of the few committees where you could say we told them what to do. ok, secretary, do this. what color shoelaces will the shoes of our army people be? we got way down. in the 20 years i was in the congress, of the money that the congress actually has direct ability to move, anywhere between 53% and 83% of the money were in defense

he and paul ryan work very hard to keep trump happy., they were support of manipulating him. that's a debate i'm sure president trump would see differently. they looked at it as we're going to get what we can from him. as time went on, the relationship was very strained. mcconnell was recording these comments in private oral histories that he did. he gave me access to those for the book, so you're able to see in realtime what he was really thinking and contrast that with his public statements. >> obviously so many viewers watching this show will remember him for his decision preventing merrick garland from reaching the supreme court. now, mcconnell feels like a throwback figure where many watching him will agree with his support of ukraine. as we look at the republican party and we're a week from the election, how does mcconnell fit in with the gop? >> i think it depends. if it's a win, it's one way. if it's a loss, it's another way. ukraine is where mcconnell put his political capital at risk. the other was the immigration bill that di
