Enjoyed at your table. tour thats going to do it for our special vladimir Putin Birthday Edition of the Rachel Maddow Show aired now it is time for the last word with lawrence odonnell. I would not have known whose birthday it was today, rachel. What we call that . Good news . Im not sure what that is. The opposite of me singing happy birthday. Whatever that is. Its a fact, thats for sure. But characterizing it beyond that is not easy. Thank you lawrence. Thank you, rachel. We are separated by an entire country right now, i am in los angeles, or east our connection has a little bit of a gap in it. Which explains our little positive with each other right there. It is an Election Night in america, and it will be Election Night in america every night for the next 29 days until november 5th. The final Election Night of the season. Voting is already underway, at early voting locations and with mailin ballots in this country. Over 2 Million votes have already been cast. 53 of those votes are from registered democrats, 31 are from registered republicans. As usual, Donald Trump stupidly discourages early voting, while democrats encourage early voting. Vice president harris had no Campaign Events today, but at the residence in washington, d. C. She invoked the israeli tradition of planting a tree to honor the memories of the victims of the October 7th attack in israel exactly one year ago today. The jewish Philosopher Rabbi Abraham joshua wrote, and i quote, religion begins with a consciousness that something is asked of us. So in this moment, on The One Year Commemoration of October 7th, what is asked of us . What is asked of us . First and foremost, i believe that we must never forget. I will never forget October 7th. And the world was minute must never forget. What is asked of us . We must work to ensure nothing like the horrors of October 7th can ever happen again. And on this day, i will restate my pledge to always ensure that israel has what it needs to defend itself. And that i will always work to ensure the Safety And Security of the jewish people here and Around The World. What is asked of us . We must reunite the hostages held in gaza with their families. And i will never stop fighting for the release of all the hostages, including American Citizens Living and deceased. Omara. Keith. Judy. What is asked of us . We must uphold the commitment to repair the world. An idea that has been passed on throughout generations of the jewish people and across many faiths. And to that end, we must work to relieve the immense suffering of innocent palestinians in gaza. Who have experienced so much Pain And Loss over the year. As the first jewish spouse of an american president or Vice President , i take this role very seriously. She is The One who encouraged me to use my platform i have to fight against antisemitism and hate. She is also the person who encouraged me to lean into my jewish faith. When we first moved into this residence, we fixed the Door Post with our family present. Now as we prepare to leave a legacy of our time here, we plant this Pomegranate Tree to honor this solemn day and for the families who will come after us to enjoy. This is the first tree we planted since we moved in. And will be the first Fruit Tree ever planted by a second family at the residence. Kamala and i are happy to continue the tradition with this symbolic meaning for every family that has lived here and who will live here. Donald trump was afraid to participate in what has become a president ial Campaign Tradition of both candidates appearing in a Special Edition of 60 minutes. Donald trump promised to do it than last week and he took the cowardly course of backing out of the interview. The campaign offered shifting explanations, first it complained that we would fact check the interview. We fact check every story. Later, trump said he needed an apology for his interview in 2020. Trump claims correspondent Lesley Stahl said in that interview that hunter bidens controversial laptop came from russia. She never said that. Trump has said his opponent doesnt do interviews because she cant handle them. He had previously declined another debate with harris. So tonight may have been the largest audience for the candidates between now and election day. Donald trump is afraid of debating Kamala Harris again. And hes afraid of 60 minutes. That could be because he simply does not have the mental capacity to survive a 60 Minutes Interview. That question was raised in the New York Times reporting about Donald Trumps apparent Cognitive Decline that has been on display publicly. Which includes trump claiming to have run for president against barack obama, which never happened. And mixing up names of countries, including confusing Iran And North korea. Along with outbursts of incoherent rage. It could be that the Campaign Staff decided that a Trump Appearance on 60 minutes would be not survivable at this point. In what they perceived to be Donald Trumps Cognitive Decline. Vice president harris, of course, delivered her commitment to join the Special Edition of 60 minutes for an interview that she delivered on her commitment tonight. We supply israel with billions of dollars in military aid. And yet, prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seems to be charting his own course. The Biden Harris Administration has pressed him to agree to a ceasefire. He is resistant. You urged him not to go into lebanon, he went in anyway. Does the u. S. Have no sway over prime Minister Netanyahu . The work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of israel is an ongoing pursuit around making sure clear our principles. It seems that prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening. We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the united states to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end. Do we have a real close ally in prime Minister Netanyahu . I think, with all due respect, the better question is do we have an important Delights Alliance between the american people and israeli people. That answer is yes. We will see the 60 Minutes Interview but it is very likely that undecided voters, especially undecided Women Voters will see her interview on a podcast hosted by Alex Cooper which has the second highest audience of any podcast in america. That is 24 republican and 20 independent. We have a woman named Amber Thurman who died in georgia because the Abortion Bans in that state, the doctors were too afraid to treat her. I know that you spoke to her family. What was that conversation like . It was heartbreaking, alex. Her mom and her two sisters. And so amber was a young mother of a sixyearold son, she was a medical assistant who was so excited because she was just getting on her feet to be independent. She got her own apartment in a community with a pool for her son. She got accepted to nursing school. She was as described by her family so excited and so ambitious. And she had plans. Then she found out she was pregnant and she didnt want to go through with it. And she was living in georgia. She couldnt receive care because she was past six weeks. Heres the thing that is so messed up about this, some of these people will say, but i do believe in exceptions. I believe there should be an exception in terms of the life of the mother. Lets talk about this, this get back to practical application of policy. Okay, so you believe there is an exception that the person should receive Abortion Care if the life of the mother is at risk. You know what that means in practical terms . She is almost dead before you decide to give her care. What . So we are going to have public Health Policy that says a doctor, a medical professional will wait until you are at Deaths Door before you get care . Thats outrageous that anybody would be saying that is acceptable policy. So until everything that physically could happen to your body in terms of deterioration, only at the point that she might die is she going to get care. Where is the humanity . I do want to clarify something. In the debate, former President Trump claimed that some states are executing babies after birth. Can you just clarify that is not happening. That is not happening anywhere in the united states. It is not happening and its a lie. It is a boldfaced lie. That he is suggesting that, can you imagine . Can you imagine . He is suggesting that women in their ninth month of pregnancy are electing to have an abortion. Are you kidding . That is so outrageously inaccurate and its so insulting to suggest that that would be happening and that women would be doing that. Its not happening anywhere. This guy is full of life. I have to be very candid with you. Full of lies. Kamala harris asked, where is the humanity . Where is the humanity . Donald trump seems to have none. Not a shred of humanity. Donald trump said today that he believes immigrants to this country are genetically inferior human beings. That is exactly what Adolf Hitler thought and said. Donald trump doesnt seem to remember that he is a descendent of immigrants to this country, including his mother who was an immigrant. Two of the mothers of Donald Trumps children are immigrants. Donald trump said Today Weve got a lot of bad genes in our country right now. Again, that is almost word for word what Adolf Hitler was saying in the 1930s before he started World War ii and before he started and organized extermination program. Of the jewish people. In which Adolf Hitlers ambition was to execute every living jewish person he could find anywhere in europe. Because, among other things, he believed the bad Genes Theory that Donald Trump believes and spews in his poisonous, and relentless stupidity. At 78 years old. We dont know how much longer the world will have to endure Donald Trumps ranting. But we should expect that for every year Donald Trump has left, he is going to get worse. Todays Print Edition of the New York Times carries an account of Donald Trumps Cognitive Decline and poisonous rantings under the headline trumps speeches increasingly angry and rambling reignite the question of age. The times reports some of what he says is inexplicable except to those who listen to him regularly and understand the shorthand. And he throws out assertions without any apparent regard for whether they are true or not. Lately, he has claimed that crowds ms. Harris has drawn or not real but the creation of artificial intelligence, never mind the reporters and cameras on hand, to record them. Talking on another occasion about how tough illegal immigrants are, he drifted off into a soliloquy about whether actors could portray them in a movie. They cant play the role. Theyll bring in a big actor and you look and you say look, hes got no muscle content. Hes got no muscle. We need a little muscle. Then they bring in another one. But hes got a weak face. He looks weak. Still, he has rather high regard for his own physique. I could have been sunbathing On The Beach he said at another point. You have never seen a body so beautiful. Much better than sleepy joe. And i am deeply sorry for delivering that image of Donald Trump Sunbathing On A Beach but i am just reading the New York Times report. The times also reports that Donald Trump vividly recounted how the audience at his climactic debate with the Vice President Kamala Harris was on his side. Except that there was no audience. The debate was held in an empty hall. No one went crazy, as mr. Trump put it. Because No One was there. Donald trump actually said the audience that wasnt there went crazy. Went crazy in a room where there was no audience. Years ago on twitter, i asked the question, if Donald Trump gets dementia, how will we know . Now, he is imagining an audience in a room where there was no audience. Are we there yet . He publicly fantasizes about having to choose between being eaten by sharks or being electrocuted by an electric boat. Apparently thinking that only an electric powered boat has batteries on it and not knowing that every boat except some very tiny sailboats has a battery on it. In fact, the old yacht that Donald Trump before he had to sell it in bankruptcy had gigantic batteries on it and he didnt seem to be worried about being electrocuted by those batteries when he was 43 years old. Age has done a lot to Donald Trump. He now fears batteries on both. The New York Times notes the semantic indicator of the Aging Brain of Donald Trump reporting proportionately, he uses 13 more all or nothing terms like always or never than he did eight years ago. Which some experts consider a sign of advancing age. Similarly, he uses 32 more negative words and positive words now, compared with 21 in 2016 which can be another indicator of cognitive change. And he uses swearwords 69 more often than he did when he first ran. A trend that could reflect what experts call disinhibition. Joining us now to explain Donald Trumps disinhibition is clinical psychologist mary trump, Donald Trumps niece. The author of the New York Times Best Seller who could ever love you, a family memoir. Mary trump, lets begin on disinhibitiOn And one of the striking things about that final point where they are talking about Donald Trumps profanity, public profanity as a president ial candidate. It is 100 higher than any other president ial candidate in history since none of them have ever used profanity publicly the way Donald Trump does. Yeah. Lawrence, i think there is a lot to talk about in this article. But that specific issue to me is an indication that donald is feeling out of control. And also as you mentioned, he is verbalizing in a way that other candidates for the presidency, other president s never have. Which is why i found at the beginning of this article that was so disheartening for them to talk about the kinds of lapses that im sure we are going to get into more and that you have laid out. Because they happen so often, they no longer generate much attention. Thats the problem. Why . Why are they not generating more attention . I wanted to read the article before coming on tonight and its not even on the front page. There is no followup, there is no more explanation, there is no Opinion Pieces about it. This is a real problem. Because he is presenting us with very real problems that deserve the kind of serious Speculation And Analysis that has been given to other candidates mental states in the past. And his handlers and perhaps himself seem to think that he really now has to be shielded. He cant be exposed to another debate with Kamala Harris. He cant possibly be exposed on 60 Minutes Tonight in their special programming. Which they have been traditionally doing with president ial candidates for a while now. Yeah. And i think, again, that points to the problematic framing of this piece. This is not a question of aging. This is a question of Cognitive Decline that may indeed be related to some kind of cognitive Issues Donald is suffering. It may be because of his decades long very serious psychiatric disorders that have gone undiagnosed and untreated. We dont know. Because one thing this article also doesnt do is speak to experts on the topic. We really need a broader discussion in which we invite psychiatrist, psychologist and neuropsychologists to help us understand what exactly. And gerontologist. Because there is so much at stake and because there is so much going on. What is the function of Normal Aging . What is a function of Something Else . A lot of work discussed in this does not seem to be part of Normal Aging. Although there was a Laundry List of the problematic behaviors and Speech Patterns we have been seeing. There are no context provided. You know, several months ago, i stumbled upon Donald Trump in a 25yearold Documentary that was about the development of new York City and he was, his voice came on offcamera and then on camera talking about how building in manhattan is good because the ground is so much rock under the surface that you can really ground a building. Really coherent explanation. Not long, but very coherent explanation from it seemed like an experienced person who knew what he was talking about on the subject. And it was shocking. The coherence of it was absolutely shocking. Two compare it to what you hear from him today. And youve been listening to him more carefully than i have over the decades. What is your own observation of what is happening to him . Because what i saw there was a stunning decline. Looking at it in reverse order. Looking back to 25 years ago when the guy could actually make sense. I think part of it is that since 2016 or i should say january 20th, 2017, he has been entirely out of his depth did this is nothing he has been involved in in the last eight years is within the realm of his socalled expertise. There is that. Which raises an enormous amount of pressure on somebody. There is the fact that there are interesting factors to the deterioration in his performance. Both cognitive and psychologically. He is under enormous amounts of stress. And that is saying something. He is a deeply unhealthy person. He has potentially several undiagnosed personality disorders. Probably undiagnosed learning disorder. He is a deeply unhealthy person in terms of his diet and complete lack of exercise. And his lack of sleep did On And On And on. We really do Need Somebody to come at this from the areas of expertise that can help the american people understand what is going on in that realm. Is that aging . What is up with the disinhibition . Is there Something Else going on . Unfortunately, i think that particularly because of the american psychiatric association, a lot of Mental Health Professionals have felt constrained. Not just by the old Goldwater Rule but in 2017, the apa expanded beyond the point of absurdity. So Psychiatrists Cant even render opinions about what might be going on even if the behavior of any candidate for the presidency might pose a danger to the american people. Imagine not being able to have legal analysts on msnbc. That is what we need now. People to come On And analyze his Speech Patterns, his behaviors, his vision, his very dark vision for this country and look at the motivations and the potential for catastrophe. Because that is what we are talking about here. Mary trump, thank you very much for your invaluable insight on this. Really appreciate it. Coming up, The New Republic Reports Eight Decision by the Supreme Court this way. The Supreme Court decides to let Texas Women die. That is the subject of our next discussion with texas democratic Senate Candidate who is surging in his campaign against Texas Republican Senator cruise. That is next. Next.

When he was president , hand selected three members of the Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of roe v. Wade. And they did just as he intended. And there are now 20 states with Trump Abortion bans. Including bands that make no exception for incest or rape, which means you are telling the survivor of a crime of a violation to their body they have no right to make a decision of what happens to their body next. Which is immoral. This is the same guy who said that women should be punished for having abortions. This is the same guy who uses the kind of language he does to describe women. He did not do it a
