Another week of shows. We are grateful. The Beat Withari Melber starts right now. Ill tell you one quick thing. Its Veep Night. Our first ever Veep Night because we have Julia Louisdreyfus. Amazing. Ill Run Upstairs and watch. I hope you do. I hope you have a great weekend. Ill see you, nicole. You too, have a great show. Thank you. Welcome to the show. Julia louisdreyfus makes her debut tonight. The reason she is here is that she is, as you may have heard, a big Kamala Harris supporter. She was out at the dnc with the democratic governors. Shes hosting a big, big colbert, Larry David, Jason Alexander, Veep Costar Event for costars this weekend. Thats one of the many things shes doing. Why is she doing it . How can you see it . All of that is what she will tell us in a couple minutes. We begin with a busy day on the campaign. 39 days until november 5th. Tonight we can tell you that over half the country has voting available. I have told you how we are living through different times, even if we still have the old terminology. People say election day. I say it sometimes. Its a holdover. This is election Month Or Month and a half. 26 states now allowing some kind of early voting. Whether that be by mail. As soon as you get a ballot, you can mail it back at the time of your choosing or even some sort of early voting underway. That might be good for whichever candidate has the momentum now. Democrats increasingly think it is Kamala Harris. She arrived in arizona where shes doing a record with visit to spotlight immigration. Shes expected to go after trump as shes been doing on different policy issues across the week. Since becoming the nominee, shes been also trying to do a time of political jiu jitsu. Everybody knows that trump has thought immigration is his issue. Hes thought that all the way back from 16 when he talked about a wall that if you check, never got built. She is trying to turn the issue against him. Well, first of all, we do have a broken Immigration System and it needs to be fixed. I went after transnational gangs, Drug Cartels and Human Traffickers that came into our country illegally. Im the only person in this race who actually served a Border State as Attorney General to enforce our laws. We can create a Path Way to citizenship and secure our border. He killed a bill that would have been a solution because he wants to run on a problem. Now what do americans think . It is a tale with kind of two sides to it. On the one hand, Kamala Harris still trails trump by a lot on an issue that matters to many americans, and especially in those Border States. You can see he has a 21point edge. On the other hand, democrats were running in those states and around the country with the nominee recently, the current president , who trails trump by far more. So by strict political math, the new nominee is doing better than the old one but still trails republicans. Now, i can tell you that the Harris Walz Cochair was just with us and heres what he told us on this issue. Immigration, this is pretty striking. There are so many people who are critical of Donald Trump On Immigration. If you remember what it was like, my question for you is about the politics here. Right now, trump is still 20 more trusted On Immigration than her. Why is that . How do you change that . I would say two things. Every day the Vice President has been in this race, she has beaten him on every day shes been in this race. Shes moved ahead and closed the gaps and she will do it On Immigration. We negotiated a Border Bill. The toughest Border Bill that has ever been negotiated. The only reason that bill failed was because Donald Trump wanted to use that as a political wedge. He put himself again ahead of the Safety And Security of the people. And the more you tell that story, the more people will go, look, we can have safe and tough borders and we can also be a nation that has a good legal immigration plan. We have to get that done. So thats what were hearing from the very top of the harris campaign. Meanwhile, on foreign policy issues, former President Trump met with zelenskyy in new York Right after harris held her meeting at the White House. And i mentioned this in our coverage this week. In contrast, i want to show you tonight, its striking. You live in america or youre watching the news, you are familiar with all these debates about platforming and how much should you show different people, Donald Trump and some of his now convicted aides have been caught lying. Some of them caught in defamation schemes. Theres always a question of how much do you want to show that and how thoughtfully should you do it . Ive told you that weve tried to really be journalistic. So we can factcheck. When sources are on, we factcheck in realtime. What im about to show you, theres a reason for it. Its not just a factcheck thing. It is a who do you want with the nuclear Codes Thing . The war in ukraine is one of the most significant international issues around. And while Donald Trump says hes been president and hes walked the walk and talked the talk, Take A Look at how he actually sounds, what hes actually saying, when hes dealing with not only these issues on the Campaign Trail but with the leader of wartorn ukraine and all the deaths and all the difficulty that country is going through, and contrast that to what Vice President harris is doing when shes been in similar scenarios. The contrast is worth seeing. Ive been proud to stand with ukraine. President trump did nothing wrong. My support is unwavering. You said it loud and clear. I will work to ensure ukraine prevail in this war. And really ended, essentially, ended the impeachment hoax. We cant compare two visions for how to deal with thatter with a because Donald Trump didnt even pretend to talking about much about the war or the gravity of the situation. Even standing next to the leader of ukraine. He ran it back six years to his own politics with some misinformation and claims about his own political and domestic impeachment which you may recall involved very credible evidence with witnesses including his aides to get a Hoax Investigation of the bidens going. He said that both Russia And Ukraine should get some sort of fair deal out of the war and you have all of his attacks on nato to boot. Thats one contrast. In the campaign, i can tell you there is a focus on the Running Mate for Donald Trump, j. D. Vance. Both Vance And Walz have a spotlight on them. Trump is refusing any other debate so thats coming tuesday. A lot of attention on both of them. More scrutiny on vance because the Washington Post has unearthed what were private messages that he sent in 2020. So this is him and his views writing in 2020 when he said trump has so thoroughly failed to deliver on economic populism, i think he will probably lose to biden in 2020 which he did. If you go back one more cycle, before vance thought trump would get power, he was even bolder, famously calling his now top of the ticket Running Mate reprehensible and, quote, cultural heroin. He has tried to distance himself as a person interested in politics. He said that was all before trump became president. So the 2020 talk here, while not as strong as the heroin lingo, shows that well into the end of the first term of Donald Trump, he still viewed him on policy, on substance, on economics, as a failure. You can compare vances wellknown and established attacks on trump to the Way Harris and biden get along as vp. Just today, President Biden announced record job growth. From the beginning, the president has been very direct and clear about our perspective. And i can think of no one more committed to achieving our collective goals than president Joe Biden. President biden set an ambitious goal. Todays numbers reflect the point that President Biden has made many times. Americas economy is strong. Whats the message to iran in. Dont. As President Biden said, just dont. Exactly. One word. Pretty straightforward. One ticket has had unity, which has now even involved the succession of Vice President harris coming to the forward. What democrats call bidens selfless and heroic act. Tell other Ticket Cant keep it straight whether they even agree that Donald Trump is a good president or should be president. It depends how far back you go on what j. D. Vance has said. Whats going on in the polling . How do we make sense of it . I told you we are very careful and precise. As you remember in past election cycles where the polling didnt come true, a lot of it wasnt there to begin with. A lot of these on social media, ill show you. This let me finish this point. Before i show you the favorability which is worthwhile, ill show you the national polling you hear about on social media, it doesnt even correspond to not a election that will happen, right . You can see Hillary Clinton is up by a couple points but we use the electoral college. If you want a temperature, the favorability, well put that back up for you. The temperature is good news. There is momentum for harris as her favorability has surged. You see something that has happened recently. Whether you look at it as an effective campaign. Voters who hadnt thought about her much. Shes gotten a lot more attention and been on the debate stage. Whatever you attribute it to, this is solid. Elon musk talked about it. It is the problem of her favorability. Thats since july. Harris, though, is not taking anything for granted when you go to the states that will decide this thing, we have evidence that shows why her campaign is targeting the Blue Wall. She has spent now 136 Million on ads there, tv and radio, focusing on the Blue Wall of the rust belt. Pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. Thats more than some of the other states that were by some of them part of the biden winning coalition that you see on the right side. Harris also directing all of her time on the ground which matters because you reach voters in person and you drive local mead coverage. So Harris And Walz rallies, you probably caught some of them. Theyre usually in the rust states. Michigan, a priority at 5. When i told you Julia Louisdreyfus is coming up, she will be in wisconsin with some other stars backing Harris And Walz this weekend. A lot of attention on the Blue Wall that failed for hillary, that health for joe, that Kamala Harris sees as her key in turning the momentum that i showed you into the right statewinning coalition. If you have the majority of votes in this country, that doesnt mean you become president. One of the many weird things about this democracy in the united states. How does this all work .

As long as theyre the best. Egglands best. A lot is happening in politics and we have a political guru, howard dean, former dnc chair, a doctor, former president ial candidate. Welcome back. Thank you for having me. Ive never been call a political guru before. Yeah. Going to guru level. There you go. I dont know if you know, its Veep Night on the beat. Do you know what veep is . I do. Youre the only thing standing between america and the people and the beatnicks that join us every night. Youre the only thing standing between them and the talented Julia Louisdreyfus. Ill talk fast. Ill talk fast. We love you. Youre here for us. We booked you. We made this choice. For anyone watching, yes, julia is next. I think thats fair to say. I cautioned about the polling, howard, because both things can be true. You can be surging, you can be popular, you can even have more votes in the country. But it does come back to those states. When you see the harris numbers, explain it to us. I didnt see arizona on there. Theres another state i think we can win. Shes a little behind in arizona right now but we have a very, very strong Senate Candidate and they have a very, very weak Senate Candidate. I think that will help us. What i see is what i thought i saw when she got the nomination. Were now very much in play in georgia and North Carolina where we werent before. And of course, then the core states that you talked about, pennsylvania and the two midwestern states. I think i would rather be us than them right now. But theres a lot of work to do and 39 days is a long time in politics. Lots to do still. Yeah. I mentioned the total vote because theres no other democracy where you have to constantly balance between what the people choose and what some other arbitrary very ancient system will allot. We try to do both here. I have new polling, governor, when you ask people, should we do this by democracy, its not close. Partisan issues are close. The Trumpharris Decision is close. But look at this. 58 of people in gallup this month prefer a Democracy Vote which they call the popular vote. Only 40 , electoral college. Should americans care about trying to change that structural inequity . We have to change it. Our foundational Electoral System was affected very much by slavery. This was an effort by the small states, and the Slave States to make sure they didnt lose their influence in the compromises that were in the design of the constitution and so forth. So we have two problems. We have a constitution that was built around the notion of slavery and we have a corrupt supreme court, which has already elected one president , or selected one president , george w. Bush, by improper means, and which has also made some outrageous, recently, some outrageous claims that i think most of the constitution people would turn over in their grave if they ever saw it. This crackpot rightwing theory about the immunity of the president s being able to do whatever they please. We need fundamental restructuring to keep our democracy. We dont have a functional court system. As one of the justices coined the phrase, a bunch of political hacks. She was trying to claim they werent political hacks but they are political hacks in the majority. Two of them are clearly corrupt. So we have a big, Big Problem with our democracy and we need to fix it. And the public is on our side. All fair points. You kept your word, governor. You did speak fast. You are a special guest and we have another special guest coming up. I think you know who that is. Thank you for joining us, howard dean. I wish you a good weekend. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. Now, ive told you viewers, i really do keep it real. Im excited about something. You can probably tell. We couldnt be more excited to have Julia Louisdreyfus from veep. She is our special guest. I have a breakdown of why this is happening and then shell join us, next. S, next. With farxiga. Because there are places youd like to be.
