Transcripts For MSNBC The ReidOut 20240828

Youre concerned about broad immunity. I was concerned about a system that appeared to provide immunity for one individual under one set of circumstances. When we have a criminal Justice System that had ordinarily treated everyone the same. Justice Ketanji Brown jackson addressing her concerns about president ial immunity in a new interview with cbs news, as late today special counsel jack smith filed a Superseding Indictment against donald trump in the january 6th conspiracy case. Also tonight, Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz prepare to barn storm the State Of Georgia as democrats go to court to shut down a republican plot to derail a harris victory. Plus, how trump would use the military, which he deeply disrespects, against his critics and political opponents if he wins in november. It is all written down in project 2025. But we begin tonight with a president ial countdown. It is now 70 days until election day. Here in the u. S. , that of course means 70 days until polls close, but voting can actually begin a lot sooner for some americans. North carolina will begin sending mail ballots to all voters who request them, including Military Personnel and overseas voters. Next week on september 6th. In fact, now that both conventions have wrapped up, we are in the belly of election season with debates, developments, and an October Surprise or two or three right around the corner. Vice president Kamala Harris and minnesota Governor Tim Walz will kick off their Campaign Bus Tour in georgia tomorrow. It will be, as of now, their first public event after the Democratic Convention in chicago. Harris also released a oneminute ad titled, full house that focuses on her housing plan. Heres a clip of it. For most of my childhood, we were renters. My mother saved for well over a decade to buy a home. I was a teenager when that day finally came, and i can remember so well how excited she was. Today, corporate landlords buy hundreds of houses and apartments. Then turn them around and rent them out at extremely high prices. I will fight for a law that cracks down on these practices. We will end americas Housing Shortage by building 3 million new homes and rentals. Okay. Compare what you just saw to what donald trump released today, not a campaign ad per se, but a video announcing what the republican Nominee Calls very exciting news. By popular demand, i am doing a new series of trump Digital Trading cards. You all know what they are. Weve had a lot of fun with them. Its called the America First collection. 50 all new stunning Digital Trading cards. Its really something. These cards show me dancing and even me holding some bitcoins. Each physical trading card has an authentic piece of my suit that i wore for the president ial debate, and people are calling it the knockout suit. I dont know about that, but thats what theyre calling it. So well cut up the knockout suit, and youre going to get a piece of it. Okay. So we, your friends here at the reid out watched the entire thing so you dont have to. Its giving Home Shopping network vibes in a bad way. Its all about him. The never ending grift. These two ads are a snapshot of the two campaigns. Right. You have Kamala Harris sharing a personal and very relatable story as someone whose family were renters themselves, while talking about a real problem, americas housing crisis. Its an ad that offers solutions and touts a record of taking on big banks and a promise to crack down on exploited landlords. She offers path forward, and then you have this commercial from donald trump pitching Trading Cards with his face on them for 99. The type of commercial you see in the middle of the night badgering you to pull out your credit card while supplies still last. Not to donate to a campaign promising policies outside of tax breaks or hatred but for a terribly photo shopped digital file. Its a new level of grifty delusion. And while the hustle is real for donald trump, so is his dangerous plan for america. After a 36hour meltdown of his own making over whether he will in fact debate vp harris, trump has decided that he will, in fact, participate. Were also getting a glimpse into what a future Trump Administration would look like. Trump has added antivaxx conspiracy theorist, Robert Kennedy jr. J. D. Vance as honorary carries chairs of the team. No word on whether the brain worm gets an invite to the team. To cap off how bizarre and surreal this election is, we got a reminder that one of the nominees is facing serious charges. Donald trump has once again been indicted for his efforts to overturn his 2020 president ial election loss. The federal grand jury returned a Superseding Indictment that charges trump with the same four counts he received in the original indictment returned last august. A slimmed down indictment comes after the right wing Majority Supreme Court largely sided with trump when it ruled in july that president s have immunity for official acts. And joining me is congressman Eric Swalwell of california, david jolly, msnbc political analyst, and former republican congressman who for some reason i still Cannot Discern is no longer affiliated with that party. Were going to figure it out one day. Were going to keep working on it. I want to go to congressman swalwell first. I want to get your reaction to the Superseding Indictment, it is jack smith being persistent, coming back, taking out the dodge related things that john roberts and company said are official acts somehow. What do you make of this new document . Donald trump clearly has three Supreme Court justices working out of his palm, but jack smith still has found a path because the conduct was so outside of what any president should be allowed to do that there still is a path for accountability, and smith brought that today. Donald trump has always preferred violence over voting, and this case will be about, you know, whether hes held accountable for that. By the way, as youre talking about Tulsi Gabbard and rfk jr. Working on a transition team, i ask myself transition to what, back to the courtroom because hes going to be a civil defendant and criminal defendant again. He sure as hell is not going to be transitioning to the white house, and certainly with those as the people helping him leave government, it signals to all of us what kind of white house it would be. Lets play Tulsi Gabbard, just to refresh everyones memory. This is when she was debating Vice President harris during the 2020 cycle. Our Democratic Party, unfortunately, is not the party that is of, by and for the people. Senator harris, any response . Oh, sure. I think that its unfortunate that we have someone on the stage who is attempting to be the democratic nominee for president of the United States who during the Obama Administration spent four years fulltime on fox news criticizing President Obama. Thats ridiculous, senator. Who spent fulltime criticizing people on this stage as affiliated with the Democratic Party when donald trump was elected, not even sworn in, Buddied Up To steve bannon to get a meeting with donald trump in the trump tower. Oh, oh, and i shall note right now that that lady Tulsi Gabbard is doing the debate prep, playing Kamala Harris in Donald Trumps debate prep. How much are you looking forward to this debate . Im looking forward to donald trump sorry, go ahead. Yeah, so i think we all are on the same page that Tulsi Gabbard is no Vice President Kamala Harris. Good look at him actually being able to go toe to toe with tulsi because he has no chance with the Vice President. But i think in a very serious note, the fact that there are federal indictments that are once again filed, and the doj is very clear on what hes going after, for Everybody Tuning in to us tonight, joy, its really important that one of the things that he struck and reminded the American People that he is going after donald trump is that donald trump, in his shenanigans on january 6th was trying to vacate 80 million voters. It was the biggest act of Voter Suppression that we have seen not only televised but documented. We have the receipts, and so when people are saying, well, is this the right time to do this, to go after a former president , it absolutely is. Because in the work that we do at photo latina every single day, one of our biggest concerns is that the gop is telegraphing that they want to purge millions of voters. This is part of their larger narrative that they only want certain voters to vote. One thing we know is that whether youre republican, an independent, or a democrat, we know that the way that you have a thriving democracy is to ensure safe and secure elections, and donald trump is a complete affront to that. So i applaud what the Department Of Justice did today. This is a reminder to us that that is what is at stake in this election. Congressman, you had a thought. Its on the debate, by the way, its nice to see that he wants to be a part of it again, but lets be real, he agreed to debate, not because he suddenly found courage but because he was being crushed for not debating. And he knows he dodged the debate, and the public knows he chickened out. I believe his instinct is always to run away from a fight, whether it was the draft, you know, 50 years ago or this fight now so until he shuffles on the stage, who knows if hes going to show up. The chickens might have triggered him a little bit. The thing that Kamala Harris and tim walz are doing, and the harris ad, i think, really points to it, is they really are zeroing in on specific economic plans and getting to the things that are really bugging people, like the cost of rents and housing. And so let me just look at some of the sort of polls, or their policies who have been compared. Moodys took a look at it. Kamala harriss spending and tax increase will cost 2 trillion, but their revenues will be 5 trillion. Donald trumps spending and tax breaks would be 5 trillion, literally the reverse. And tariffs would knock us down 3 trillion. He would create deficits, massive deficits, she would put us on the plus side. How important is that that data is out there, david . Its critically important, joy, and i appreciate that donald trump did a commercial about trading card ads because now i know what to get swalwell for christmas. Theyre coming your way. Me too. Well, i wouldnt insult you like that, maria theresa. So look, heres why its so critical. This idea of a honeymoon. This is not a honeymoon. Dont call this a honeymoon anymore. Vice president harris has overtaken the lead over donald trump and she has done it on substance. Coming off the convention, you have momentum from a perfectly run convention, a powerful week with really incredible democratic speakers, some republican speakers and Vice President harris herself on thursday night. Now she has the opportunity to really deliver the goods, and what we have all talked about all year is that the Biden Harris Administration needs to play offense on the state of the country. Inflation is coming down, and real wages are going up. The stock market is at an all time high. Housing, Home Ownership is still at all time highs, though its getting out of reach, and Kamala Harris wants to do something about it, access to health care and education, investments in infrastructure, and so right now, you have donald trump hawking Trading Cards, and the opportunity for Vice President harris to talk about policies really begins to close the deal with the American People with 70 days to go, and the other reason thats critical is in the absence of that, we end up in this conversation about why is she not doing interviews, why did she flipflop, what does she stand for. If shes out there telling you, these are my policies, this is the direction i want to go, donald trump becomes increasingly irrelevant to the narrative of this campaign, and i use the term irrelevant. Donald trump becomes i recall to the conversation about the 2024 election, because all eyes and focus trend to the Vice President. Please, go ahead. Joy, i think that this is really important to underscore, the way the Vice President wins is by making sure shes siphoning up independent moderate voters. She also needs to grow the base of voters, and our last poll coming in for georgia, north carolina, nevada and arizona, the number one issue among 18 to 29yearolds, among latino and africanamericans was housing. She is meeting them where they are. Oftentimes we think people are trying to talk about housing to save for the future, no, theyre trying to make ends meet. Theyre trying to make budgets to feed themselves. This really speaks to her understanding of that electoral base. I had the privilege of meeting with the president in june, and this is something that we surface and we knew that they needed to fix it, and they didnt know how to. This policy today recognizes that theyre listening but also providing real solutions. And by the way, just to go into it just a little bit more. The moody number is i gave you before. On housing, the Harris Walz Campaign offering Tax Incentives to build starter homes, and 25,000 down payment assistance for first time home buyers, which would have been great when we were buying a home back in the day. Tax cuts, 3,600 child tax credits, for families with newborns and groceries and food, congressman, a ban on corporate price gouging. With we know thats a big deal, the food price gouging, what is this cooking with kamala thing, speaking of food . It does seem like theyre doing the fun on the food side. We know shes a foodie, and making you able to afford those groceries. Thats exactly right. Kamala loves cooking, it embodies who she is, pro family, very close with her friends and so we have, for a good cause, put too many chefs in a kitchen this coming thursday night. Its a free online event where padma, and chef andres will be a part of it. Were going to talk about pro family policies like Affordable Housing and making sure we go after people who are gouging us on our food costs. And you know, its in the spirit of its very hard to hope about your life if you dont have a home, and thats what her policies, especially finish first time home buyers reflect. And also, its in contrast to donald trump who, when he was Building Homes in new york, he was tearing down Affordable Housing to put up luxury condos. Shes going to fight for the people. Hes going to fight for people like himself. Yeah, and also not letting black people live in what he was building. He was like c for color, you cant live there. David jolly, it does feel like they are putting together this combination of policy and vibe that is very difficult, i think, for donald trump to deal with. And its kind of clear that he doesnt know how to deal with it. Yeah, thats exactly right, joy, and listen, there may not be a way for donald trump to deal with it because Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party have been so successful now at growing this coalition. And i draw a distinction between the two. The campaign and the movement of Vice President harris can go in one direction, but what we saw in chicago was the party embraced that expanded coalition as well. And i think everything for the optics to the language gave a lot of persuadable voters permission to say i want to be a part of this coalition. There was not an abandonment of the roots and backbone of the republican party. There was a welcoming posture to all voters for a coalition that will lean forward. Donald trump cannot expand his coalition. We know that. And the reason i say hes largely irrelevant now, he doesnt have anymore tools to play with 70 days to go. My fear of what we have to go through is donald trump pulls a willy Horton Campaign in the bag down the stretch, and tries to run a vicious, vicious Attack Campaign against Vice President harris. She can survive that, but as a country, we could end up in som
