Actions. Peter, my friend, thank you so much. I always appreciate talking with you. That is tonight's reidout and inside with jen psaki starts now. Okay, so we are just 29 days out from the residential election. People are voting across the country and all of those key, swing states you hear about already, and vice president kamala harris and governor tim walz are on a media blitz right now. Tim walz was unleashed on fox news yesterday, it seemed to go pretty well. Harris was unleashed on the popular podcast, call her daddy. And both of them will sit down with a slew of daytime host and podcast holds hosts in the slew of the coming days. I would love to talk to you about my take on these media strategies, and we definitely will during the show me but we kind of have to start somewhere else tonight. Because right now, on a parallel track to all of the interviews and campaign events, early voting, pretty normal electionyear kind of stuff, we have a republican nominee, who will lie about anything if he thinks he can benefit from that lie. We have a maga machine that then amplifies those on his path and i we are watching real people suffer as a result. For the past few days, donald trump has been breezily lying about the federal government's response to hurricane helene. Overnight, he once again completed repeated the complete life the biden administration used disaster funds for migrants, instead of helping people impacted by the hurricane. That is not true. It has been repeatedly fact checked and easily debunked. Right now, i can't debunk it for you. Those are two entirely different programs, funded by two completely different sources, trump knows that. Those ima funds are directed by congress, including by many of the members echoing this attack to be spent on disaster response specifically. Congress directed them specifically for that. Just listen to vice president harris called trump out, fact take his life, and urge people to listen to actual authorities just a few hours ago. There is a lot of misinformation and disinformation being pushed out there by the former president about what is available , in particular, the survivors of helene. First of all, it is extraordinarily irresponsible. It is about him, not about you. The reality is that fema has so many resources that are available to folks who desperately need him. Listen to your local sheriff, who will tell you straight about what is available to you, and how through so many reasons and ways, no attacks. With this spreading of misinformation, it is not normal at all to me from anybody, of any political party. But none of that has stopped trump from continuing to repeat it. His goal is not insuring people have accurate information, even in a time of crisis, it is to anger people with misinformation. It has created an environment where pushing those falsehoods is encouraged. When the new york times asked about trump spreading false claims, the spokeswoman simply reiterated the falsehood. Elon musk, the richest man in the world and top trump ally, has also pushed lies about the hurricane to his millions of followers on the social media platform he owns. The front pages of the new york post have pushed lies to their readers, and we have watched these lies struggle from the top, start to spread other lies and cause realworld problems in communities that are really suffering. These are real effects on real people because of fake stories. Trump does not care. He wants people to be confused and enraged, and he is willing to do anything for his political gain. He is willing to say anything for his own survival. This is far from anything we have seen this the first time with trump. This is all a pattern. Remember, it was just a couple of weeks ago the lies from donald trump and his lies about springfield, ohio had people hiding in their homes and state troopers posted at schools. Just a couple of years ago the lies from donald trump and his allies about the election had people charging at the u. S. Capitol, and chanting, hank mike pence. Whatever it might be, if it suits trump and his allies they will lie about it. Consequences the so watch those allies and lies be spread and not back away, should be a huge concern now, especially as another category five storm bears down on florida. It should also serve as a big wakeup call, for anyone out there as we head into this election. If his allies don't like the results, they will do the exact same thing. They will lie if it suits them and consequences again, the netanyahu four. Think about it this way, if they are still unwilling to say who won the last election, how do you think they will handle a trump loss this time around? i think you know the answer to that one. We hear it from trump at every single rally. We saw it on the debate stage from his running mate, j. D. Vance, and we thought it just yesterday with house speaker jake johnson. Can you say unequivocally that joe biden won the 2020 election and donald trump loss? this is the game always played by mainstream media with leading republicans, a got you game. You want us to litigate things that happened four years ago, when we are talking about the future. It is not four years ago, they are planning it now. This is how it goes. He lies for his political gain. They refuse to denounce the lies and in fact, often fuel them. The rest of the country is left to pick up the pieces. We watched in 2020, we watched in springfield, ohio. We are watching right now in the aftermath of hurricane helene. And it will happen again in 29 days if he does not like the election results. It does not matter if the people of western north carolina are being fed information to him. Does not matter if there is an encouragement of violence around him. None of that matters. He will simply wreak havoc if he thinks it will help him. If you listen to him and those closest to him now, having is exactly what they want. Over the past eight years, those who want to stop us from achieving this future have slandered me, impeached me, indicted me, try to throw me off the pallet. And who knows, maybe even tried to kill me. And then guys, they tried to kill him. They tried to kill him. It is because of the democratic party, they can't do anything right. This is no longer a fight between republican versus democrat, left versus right it is good versus evil, and good is going to win this battle, ladies and gentlemen. Is there anybody here who is going to vote for lying kamala, please raise your hand. Please raise your hand. Actually, i should say, don't raise your hand, it would be very dangerous. We don't want to see anybody get hurt. I mean, with rhetoric like that, with so many lies swirling , is there any wonder that president biden said this about the upcoming election in the briefing room on friday? i am confident it will be free and fair. I don't know whether it will be peaceful, they haven't even accepted the outcome of the last election. I am concerned about whether or not. Joining me now is homeland secondary secretary of security, alejandra mallorca's. It is good to see you. The department of homeland security oversees a lot. Before i get there, i just want to start with the story on the top of the new york times now, as people are watching the hurricane and hurricane movement. The new york times reporting that fema is running at a staff to respond to this hurricane that seems to be barreling toward florida. The story says that only 9% of agency's personnel is available. For people watching out there, does dhs, does fema have what it needs to restart respond to the storm? jen, great to see you. It does. Everybody should rest confident that fema has the resources. We already have 900 personnel deployed, prepositioned in florida, people who were responding to hurricane helene, people who were responding previously to hurricane dahlia and debbie. We have search and rescue teams, the army corps of engineers are there. We are ready, we have the personnel. Fema likes to say, it is fema taxable. We can respond to multiple events at a single time. One of the things, and you certainly are doing that right now. I talked a little about misinformation, the spreading of it and the impact of it. I said, this is not normal. I have been around this town a long time, under democratic republican presidents, not that everything has been perfect. You also spent a lot of time in government. The level of misinformation we are seeing now, that is spreading, giving people inaccurate understandings of what is happening with the hurricane, have you seen this before? i have not seen it ever before at this level. You and i both remember a time when an extreme weather event, a natural disaster actually brought people together. Now, unfortunately, tragically, quite frankly it is politicized. What happens is, the people who are victimized by the natural disaster are the ones who will suffer. It sews distrust in their government, and therefore, they do not seek that they truly need. We have funds to put in their pockets to be able to help them address immediate needs. These individuals are not seeking debt relief, because of the disinformation, the intentional false information they are receiving. It also debilitate, transfer, our workforce. These are individuals who are putting their lives on the line to search and rescue for victims of hurricane helene, a hurricane of historic magnitude. It is very sad. It sounds like you are saying that people feel like government can't help them, so they are not seeking information they are entitled to, which is very alarming. One of the things we have also seen with how trump spreads this information is, it is the targeting of migrants often, and the migrant community. We saw that in springfield, we saw that a little around the hurricane. You are a child of immigrants yourself, also as secretary of department of homeland security, you oversee you watch this issue closely. I want to play something he said this morning and get your thoughts on that. He has no clue. How about allowing people to come to an open order, 13,000 of which were motorists murderers, many of them murdered more than one person and happily living in the united states. A murderer, i believe this, it is in the urgings. We got a lot of bad things in our country right now. That is obviously discussing what he just said. I want to put politics aside here and ask, kind of on a personal level, but also if i may, as secretary of homeland security, how concerned are you with repetition of that rhetoric, and how migrant communities are being targeted by his supporters? i think you put it powerfully just a few minutes ago, and quite pointedly, we have parents who are scared to send their children to school because of this demonization, because of the false information to the targeting of migrants in our darkest chapters of world history, we have seen this demonization victimized millions of people. You reference my personal story, 6 million jews were killed in world war ii. My mother lost a tremendous amount of family precisely because of this type of rhetoric, and the violence that it breeds. I can't imagine how you digest this on a personal level , especially given your responsibilities. I did want to ask you, because you reference your mother and your family, and your mother is a holocaust survivor. Today is the anniversary of october 7th. You are somebody who has spoken out powerfully against anti semitism. You see the rise, but you are also jewish american. How are you digesting this moment a year later? jen, my mother passed away in 1997. This is the first time in my life since her passing that i am almost relieved she is not alive to see what occurred on october 7th one year ago. Today, she would have been fearful of the survival of jews across the world, and yet, we are confident in our resilience and the resilience of all individuals, of all faiths. We have to fight hate and the tragedy of october 7th was absolutely horrific, and we have a duty to remember it, to never forget it, and be quite resolved it never occurs again. Before i let you go, i want to ask as we look ahead, 29 days out from the election. I watched president biden go to the briefing room for the first time since he was president, of course and he said something that struck me as honest, he said, this election will be fair, but he's not sure it will be peaceful. With everything that is on 2020 we should not be surprised. I also think at this point, you, he, other members of the national security team are likely meeting to prepare for what will happen. Are those meetings happening? how confident are you that it will be peaceful, and how are you approaching it at this point in time? i am hoping that it will be peaceful. There is a reason to be concerned that it might not be, and it is our job in the department of homeland security to be prepared for whatever eventuality occurs to me and that is exactly what we are doing here is which means, internal discussions and meetings now for any scenario, especially given what happened in 2020. That is our obligation and we are executing on it. Thank you so much for being here with me. Coming up, republicans refused to say donald trump lost the 2020 election. I just talked about that. That also tells us what they are prepared to do for him in this election. I will talk with representative dan goldman about that, he is standing by. Standing by. Easy to apply for the whole family.

Advil liquigels are faster and stronger than tylenol rapid release gels. also from advil, advil targeted relief, the only topical with 4 powerful pain fighting ingredients that start working on contact and lasts up to 8 hours. I'm just going to keep reminding you, we are 29 days out until election day, so there's a lot to talk about. With that, just about four years since donald trump lost the 2020 election. And still, still, so many republicans can't bring themselves to enter a very straightforward question. He is still saying, he did not lose the election. Did he lose the 2020 election? tim, i am focused on the future. Can you say definitively here and now that donald trump did lose the 2020 election? joe biden was elected president in 2020. It was an unfair election in ways. Joe biden was elected, kristin pierce do you not want to say that trump lost? can you say unequivocally joe biden lost the 2020 election? this is the game played by mainstream media with republicans, a got you game. You want us to litigate things that happened four years ago, when we are talking about the future. It is not a got you question, it is a pretty easy o
