rachel maddow, i try not to text in that moment and also the executive producer of the new msnbc documentaryl talk about shortly. rachel, hello my friend. i hold in my hand a letter that i'm sure you have read, too. and this is mr. john, chairman of the georgia state election board. and to him. and it is -- it is scary because it is questioning whether or not new rules are going to be put in place in georgia that make it harder to certify the election. what is going on? >> so, couple of weeks ago there was this weird moment a rally in georgia trump from the stage shouted out by name new members of the georgia state election board. and the georgia state election board is not supposed to be like a partisan entity. it's not like a trump campaign thing. it's the technocratic board that oversees the administration of elections in georgia. so him shouting them out by name and claiming them as like maga superheroes who were pit bulls for victory was a bad sign. but it turns out that, in fact, three pro-trump members have been assigned to this board. they are the majority of the board. and since the

the rachel maddow show starts right now. >> thank you so much. much appreciated and thanks for you at home for joining us. happy to have you here. one quick note. right now it's monday night which is when you are used to seeing me on the tv machine. v . but this week, i will also be here on friday.ee we're doing a special edition of the rachel maddow show at the end of this week on friday at 8:00 p.m. eastern. and then at 9:00 p.m. eastern, on friday, right after, right after the rachel maddow show, we're going to be showing my new movie. my new documentary which is called from russia with lev. it's about the first trump impeachment and what was both s terrible and equally so stupid about that entire scandal. e so in case you want to pop it in your calendar or set it in the dvr, i'm here tonight as normal but you get a second show at 8:00 p.m. eastern on friday, and right after that special rachel maddow show, you can see my new movie, from russia with lev. but we start tonight in this fraught and unnerving place that we are in american news and

i will be back here on friday for a special edition of the rachel maddow show

rachel maddow on bravo. never thought i would see the day.m all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thanks for staying up late with me. i will see you at the end of tomorrow. at the end of tomorrow. >>> good evening from new york, we are back. this afternoon, federal chair reserve jerome powell took the stage to announce the fed's first cut in interest rates since 2020. it was a big one, a half a percent interest rate reduction to stimulate borrowing and boost the job market. the economie

"i just can't watch the handoffs from rachel maddow to lawrence. i have to change the channel. to read" i think that side of the audience deserves a fair hearing. >> my favorite thing is that i have no freaking clue what you are going to say. ever. like you know what? there are other shows, and there are other things, my host is going to ask about this thing on the show. that does not happen with me and lawrence. and so it could be me and your mom are talking about what we are going to do for thanksgiving-- okay, you're coming for thanksgiving-- to know. it could be this thing you just did. i have a better guest than you coming up. it could be this thing that you said in your block which i forgot, because it was 44 minutes ago was interesting that i would like to ask you in- depth follow-up questions, and i don't remember what it is, so there is, the one thing to note is do i look frozen in that moment? because if you are speaking, we have this worked out between us, if i look like i might be paralyzed lawrence knows to keep talking until i come out the other side of the shock

as i learned from watching this, rachel maddow reigns supreme. >> what would you ask?banging and tax records to prove it. >> oh. oh. taylor swift? >> are you enjoying your rent free existence in donald trump's head? >> the horse guy. >> do you feel guilty about stealing my look? [ laughter ] he does it better. i'm just saying. between us, i would pick him. >> maybe borrowing rachel's look, but there can be only one rachel maddow and we love her exactly for who she is. and on that note, i wish you a very good night.

rachel maddow show monday at 9:00 eastern and hillary clinton has been an adviser and philippe ryan has adviser. and he played donald trump in 2016 for hillary clinton and stood in yesterday. >> definitely the influencers of the clinton circle playing out in kamala harris's campaign. and also advisers to harris are quick to give credit to hillary clinton for plowing some of the tough terrain in 2016 on issues about what it means to have a woman as a candidate which allows kamala harris to make her status as a woman candidate a little more incidental in her candidacy. it is not the front and center that we saw in 2016 and that is in part because of the work that hillary clinton did making it more acceptable, more lacking in the kind of surprise factor that we had in 2016. so giving kamala harris more room to focus on other things because of the work hillary clinton did during her challenge to donald trump. so there is definitely a coordination and a spirit of helpfulness between the clinton allies and the former candidate herself and vice president harris. andrea. >> okay, kelly o'donnel

so handing it off to rachel maddow.

i just can't watch the handoff from maddow to lawrence. i can't watch rachelof the audience deserves a fair hearing. >> so, my favorite thing about the handoff is that i have no clue what you're going to say. ever. like and you know what? there are other shows and other handovers where i think the producers talk to each other on this so you know, my hostess can ask about this thing that is coming up or i know that my host is interested in this thing you're doing. that does not happen with me and lawrence, so it could be me and your mom talking about what we are going to do for thanksgiving. that can come up. okay, you're coming for thanksgiving. that's good to know. it could be this thing that you just did, i have a better guest than you on that coming up. it could be this thing you said in your letter a block, which i've now forgotten because it was 44 minutes ago was interesting. i would like to ask you some in- depth follow-up questions on it and i don't remember what it is so i feel like the one thing to note is, do i look frozen in that moment because if

the first documentary produced by my colleague rachel maddow. we will talk about the ukraine scheme that led to donald trump's first impeachment. then, later this hour, we'll break down all the latest news from the presidential race including the latest on the georgia election board's ruling on counting ballots but first, i want to get right into it with the executive producer of from russia with lev. my colleague rachel maddow who gets to add a new important moniker to your resume. you are the executive producer of this amazing documentary that we just watched. congratulations first of all my friend. >> thank you, ali. it feels so great to have it out in the world. i have to just ask you, did you like it? >> not only did i like it, i was set up not to like it and i don't mean that for any other reason than lev is a complicated character. it's a very honest documentary about the complexity of lev. his wife talks about the complexity of lev. lev talks about the complexity of lev. you had i believe the first interview with him all those years ago.

we are doing a special edition of the rachel maddow show at the end of the week on friday at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. at 9:00 p.m. eastern, right after the rachel maddow show, we will be showing my new movie, my new documentary called from russia with lev about the first trump impeachment and what was both so terrible and equally so stupid about that entire scandal. so if you want to pop it on your calendar or start your dvr right now. i am here is normal but you will get a second show this week on friday. right after at 9:00 p.m. eastern on friday you can see my new movie from russia with lev . we start tonight and this fraught and unnerving place we are in with american is in politics and frankly in american life right now. the last time there were multiple assassination plots against a president a presidential candidate in such quick succession, it was 50 years ago, 49 years ago this month in fact of september 1995 with president ford at a park in sacramento, california when a fanatical follower of charles manson pulled out a 45 and pointed it at him and not even three weeks later,

rachel maddow on bravo. never thought i would see the day. for all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thanks for staying up late with me. i'll see you at the end of tomorrow. >>> today started with bomb shell news. last monday, jd vance's team contacted officials in springfield ohio to fact check claims on haitian immigrants eating pets. springfield city manager told vance's people point-blank there was no verifyable evidence of immigrants eating pets. the claims were baseless, but still, jd vance repeated them online. and the next day, trump used one of the biggest platforms in the world, an american presidential debate, to push the claims again. claims the campaign knew were lies. the new reporting from the wall street journal should be devastating to the trump campaign. but the stunning thing is they probably won't care. because trump and vance's invocation of springfield was never about the truth to begin with. springfield is less important to them as an wall place than actual people and more important to them as a symbol.

the first documentary produced by rachel maddow. we will talk to lev parnas and his wife and we will break down the latest news from the presidential race including the latest on the georgia election board's ruling on counting ballots but first, i want to get right into it with the executive producer of from russia with lev. my colleague rachel maddow who gets to add a new important moniker. you are executive producer to this amazing documentary. congratulations. >> thank you so much ali. it feels great to have it out in the world. did you like it? >> not only did i like it, i was set up not to like it. i don't mean that other than any other reason that lev is a complicated character and it's a very honest documentary about the come complexity of lev. so i wasn't sure what i wanted to know about lev that i didn't already know and you just stitched the whole thing together in a way that makes me wish i knew all this back then. >> it does matter he is a very compelling person. you can tell this story. lots of different ways. you can t

now, rachel maddow did a podcast about this called alter. her recent prequels about this and was a massive conspiracy going on this country funded by nazi germany to undermine public support for great britain. and they had a very clever trick that they had come up which is that the congressmen have something called franking, which allows you to mail an unlimited number of letters for free. so viereck would write speeches. they would go on the floor of congress. they would deliver these speeches, which means they are copyright free, and because they were speeches given by congressmen, they could be sent out to millions of americans, which blatant nazi lies and propaganda to with a capitol hill return address from what appeared to be their local representative. so it was very effective. and roosevelt knew that they were doing this. and so he said in one of his campaign appearances and late october, he, quote, certain techniques of propaganda created and developed in dictator countries have been imported into this campaign. he said is a very si
