MSNBC All In With Chris Hayes September 1, 2024

All of the people who work there won the week. We love small businesses. Congratulations to all and happy labor day. Before we go be sure to scan the qr code to buy tickets. Our premier fan event. Good evening from new york. We have a two hour special edition on this labor day weekend evening. 67 days out from the collection, which i cannot believe that the past 24 hours have been a microcosm of the whole race. Kamala harris in tim walz doing the standard race. They kept it even killed in a sitdown interview last night that went through a lot of the republican charges against them. While they are doing that trump is out there and honestly stumbling to put together english sentences. His campaign keeps stepping in misses of its unmaking including an enormous want tonight, which were going to get to. They are both posting through it as usual. The followed continues from the political photocopying campaign commercial on tiktok at arlington national cemetery at the beginning of the week where he gave the thumbs up over the graves of veterans including many who didn't consent to any of this. Cut a video blaming their deaths on democrats. Now they are openly doing battle with the united states army. When a worker tried to enforce the rules against political filming among the graves a trump aide got physical with her. She filed a report but didn't press charges report the fear of retribution from trump supporters who would blame her. The spokesman immediately when confronted with the same the liar clearly suffering from a mental health episode. Sent this was unfortunate that the cemetery employee and her professionalism has been unfairly attacked. Arlington is a national trying to be honored and they will continue to ensure public ceremonies were conducted with the respect they are deserved. When this went on the trunk camp and said they had video of the incident that would vindicate their version of events and prove they were being defamed. Have you seen the video? i have not seen the video. They still have not provided the video. Instead the cocampaign manager posted this on related 13 second video showing him standing in a different part of the cemetery. And then he put it up again reposting the trying to trigger the hacks at the secretary of the army's office. He is a guy whose entire career is built on republicans being the real military loving patriots. To please trump he is reduced to being a big man on social media at the at u. S. Army. So who is triggered here exactly? last republicans got a reprieve of sorts as media attention turned to the big city an interview with kamala harris in tim walz since the democratic convention. This seemed to be anticipated among rightwing viewers as it the full interview. That is what j. D. Vance things of the sitting vice president of the united states. Here is some of what kamala harris actually said in her interview. Speed when we came in the highest priority was to do what we could to rescue america and today we know that we have inflation under 3%. A lot of our policies have led to the reality that america will recover faster than any nation around the world. You are right. Prices in particular for groceries are still too high for the american people know it and i know it which is why my agenda includes what we need to do to bring down the price of groceries for example dealing with an issue of price gouging. We have to do to extend the child tax credit to help young families be able to take care of their children. What we need to do to bring down the cost of housing. The true measure of the strength of the leaders based on who you lift up. That is what is at stake as much as any other detail that we could discuss in the selection. Did that sound like the infamous thing from the beauty pageant responded? is that what that sound like to you? meanwhile, here was donald trump last night. She destroyed the city of san francisco. I own a big building there. We should not talk about this, but that is okay. I should say is the finest sitting in the world and sell and get out, but i cannot do that. I do not care. I lost billions of dollars. That is okay. They said you think you would do it again? nobody. They always say i do not know if you know lincoln was horribly treated. Jefferson was pretty horribly. Andrew jackson they say was the worst of all. Treated worse than any other president. I said do this study again because i think there is nobody close to trump. I even got shot. Who knows where that came from? he cannot keep a single thought in his head for longer than three seconds. Where is j. D. Vance? who said he cannot stay on topic or with a thought for more than a few seconds before returning to his default resentments. Nothing so far. There was an even darker subtext to the viral video. I have to say it kind of shocked me because it was so gross and uncalled for. The actual woman in that clip is caitlin upton. That brought her at the time ridicule on her life. He was asked about her this morning. I am not sure you are aware. In 2015 she did an interview in new york magazine about all of the social media attention and said i definitely went through a period where i was very depressed. But i never let anybody see that stuff, except for people i could trust. I had very dark moments where i thought about committing suicide. When you posted this last night were you aware that the woman you are posting a picture of had contemplated committing suicide? certainly not. My heart goes out to her and i hope she is doing well. Politics has gotten way too lame. Way too boring. You can have some fun while making a good argument to the american people about how you're going to improve their lives. Would you like to apologize for posting that? i'm not going to apologize for posting a joke, but i wish the best for caitlin. She responded this morning saying it's asian the 17 slayers later this is still being brought up here one thing i do know is that social media and online bullying needs to stop. That led to her having to delete her account a short time later. Our political analyst and host of the upcoming in sync with lexi podcast. They join me now. We have some news that just broke on the campaign literally just 10 minutes before it went to air about donald trump and abortion, see may remember yesterday my colleague interviewed donald trump about the referendum in florida that would uphold abortionrights. It is on the ballot this fall. It would overturn the six week band that was signed into law. When asked yesterday donald trump did not actually answer the question but seemed to indicate he was going to vote for that piece of referendum in of the state. An avalanche of pushback and anger from the antiabortion right came his way after that. He was asked today after the camp and walked it back. I think we have the clip. Here is what he said today. I think six weeks you need more time. I have disagreed with that from the early primaries. At the same time the democrats are radical because the nine months is just a ridiculous situation. I will be voting no for that reason. Just to be clear. He is on the record. He seemed to say i'm going to vote yes on this referendum. He got hammered over 24 hours. I think it's incredible that anyone in the media can have a conversation about harris allegedly flipflopping on anything when he is giving us a master class in the last 24 hours in the literal definition of flipflopping. Worse than that it's another example of the central question we have to ask ourselves not just with trump as a candidate but god forgot that he becomes president again. Is women's health to him a political tool or a genuine policy proposal when he is talking about anything from abortion to the government and is suddenly paying for people to use ivf, which i would implore him to actually explain whether he even knows what the procedure is or what it entails. It's a disaster. On that last point i agree with you. It is all bs. You like ivf no? how about free ivf? it is like whatever. The one thing that is clear here and i think you can hear the cheers go up in the harris walz campaign. He made a promise to get elected in 2016 to the antiabortion movement that he was choose justices to overturn from a prevetted list and then almost like every other promise he has made in his life miraculously kept that promise. They overturn roe versus wade. The last 24 hours shows there is a group the guy won't doublecross or screw over or that he will bow before and that is the antiabortion forces in the republican party. That and let's be clear. Why are we talking about ivf? why are we talking about the ford abortion measure? because donald trump. The arsonist created a fire. Who cares what his position is? he created this problem. His supreme court justices put us in this position. Know you're going to say we have this major fire here. Wondering what you would make of burning this part down. We have to move on from him, and sometimes we are having too much of a rational debate about he came out with this interesting position. He is trying to win an election and he is lying to people trying to deceive you. Is trying to move on florida and every which way. Trying to win an election. For those who care about women's rights and reproductive rights just to be clear who started this fire that we are all still living in. It's a great point. Also worth reminding people that there are whatever people say on campaigns there are major parties that actually do stuff and vote on stuff and pass things. He will point to the 3wjustice after promising to do so. There was a vote this year in the united states senate of all places. To basically mandate ivf treatment for americans under the entrance. Senate republicans blocked the bill as democrats made a post on reproductive care. It only got two republican votes. Everyone including j. D. Vance voted against it, so there is no daylight here. Everyone knows i think who knows the seriously knows who is on was side. And also adjust the number of times trump continues to light any given time he opens his mouth to give a speech or a comment to the press or anything. That can't and should be discounted. Is going so far as to evolve from fake news. He is so not living in the same reality. The facts do not matter to him. That is a problem whether it comes to women's health or otherwise. I feel that we cannot state that enough. He lies is so much. Who cares what he has to say when he started this fire? also when he does not even believe or know the words that a are coming out of his mouth half the time he is saying them. That is a good point. I think this is been a real conundrum. It is the meaningless salesman stick combined with maybe cognitive decline brought about by age. There is no propositional content in the whole thing. Know we get into why he is uniquely dangerous to american politics. He has no moral vision of right or wrong on anything. Therefore he will create false realities for his followers. He will tell them stance. Very feeding you lies. And then saying democracy does not even work because we are creating fake crowds. He is creating a false reality for his followers, which then goes to the election, which is if he loses how does he talk about a logical loss? he doesn't. He is building a reality that is dangerous for all of us. I found myself pretty disgusted by these comments about kamala harris like she is not smart. It also strikes me as a little counterproductive. You are making her out to seem ridiculous in an interview. Knows what she is talking about. I am not quite sure it is such a brilliant move tactilely. Such contract to the interview they gave last night. They had so many opportunities to take pot shots at trump and j. D. Vance the entire time to remind people we are being asked about the positions we have evolved on overtime because of intellectual curiosity. Meanwhile they are doing xyz and they don't. They try to keep it above the fray. I think it's disgusting to see the sexism and racism that is already coming from that side. I think it will remind not just americans but women who are crucial voters in swing states they have no idea what they are doing on abortion rights or with reproductive rights in general and now no idea how to even give respect to the sitting vice president of the united states. They have a complete lack of respect for many traditional american institutions like you were just talking about at the start. It is completely in contrast, but also to the core of america and the american dream at the end of the day. There is also the same mind trick on abortion rights. I will be the party that protects abortion rights. They tried the same thing on the prolabor label. Getting booed as he tells the firefighters yesterday we are the most prounion. It is a gammage. We know about the working class shifts in politics right now and sadly there are too many people in the bluecollar working class making under $100,000 with a high degree that frankly we need back and to the extent that he is going to win the election. They're going to make an economic decision at the end of the day. I am confident right now if it were held today we are going to win those people. The way that he has won too many of them is not by policies. By expressing anger that strikes the court with people that have phone factories closed down for decades. Feel like they're getting screwed by corporations jacking up prices on them and there is an anger. Not to say she needs to turn into an angry person, but i think we need to have a valence of how to speak to people as we move into the last few weeks of this. And who want to know are you feeling my life and are you upset about trying to rectify what i see as fundamental problems of corporate wrongdoing. We are on the right track, but i hope we hit that emotional court as well as the policy cord. Thank you both. Up next with less than three weeks until his sentencing trump is still trying to dodge his conviction on 34 phone accounts in new york. We have news on his latest attempt to get out of it.
