Transcript 0:01 okay right now we are preparing to look at live pictures out of Brookfield Wisconsin we're just moments from now Vice President kamla Harris will sit down with former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney for their third moderated conversation of the day and we will definitely keep a close eye on that we'll bring it to you we're want to talk about it it's a big deal it's been a big day before that event kicks off I just want to pause in the significance of this for a second because I think it bear is repeating I mean even four years ago I could not have imagined I'm betting you could not have imagined Liz Cheney sitting on the stage with a democratic nominee and this is their third event today in a third swing state just two weeks out from the election and I know there is a lot of anxiety out there believe me I see people on trains I see people in elevators everywhere a lot of concern about every up and every down in the polls about turnout these are the questions everybody's talking about concerned about everything that's that's that what what happens two weeks out from an election but just take today 1:04 in for a moment because what today really speaks to is the unity among a broad Coalition of people people who definitely do not agree on everything but who have been brought together because of their deep concern about a second Trump presidency and about the threat that he poses to our country you have to choose in this race between someone who has been faithful to the Constitution who will be faith faithful and Donald Trump who it's not just us predicting how he will act we watched what he did after the last election we watched what he did on January 6th and I know how how quickly democracies can unravel um and I know that as Americans we um can become accustomed to thinking well we don't have to worry about that here um but I I tell you again as someone who um has seen firstand and uh how quickly it can happen um that that is what's on the 2:04 ballot so that threat that Liz chainer just talked about I mean we've been reminded of that threat over and over and over again largely by Trump I mean in the last several days that threat has really been crystallized As Trump continues to talk about going after who he calls the enemy from within and that phrasing isn't a fluke or a slip of the tongue he's been given many opportunities to walk it back but he doesn't he keeps repeating it because he really believes that people living within the very country he is running to represent POS a bigger threat than anything on the outside it has in many ways this whole argument become the closing message of his campaign and one of the people Trump keeps calling out as his enemy happens to be my first guest tonight congressman Adam Schiff well I always say so we have two enemies we have the outside enemy and then we have the enemy from within and the enemy from within in my opinion is 3:03 more dangerous than China Russia and all these countries but the thing that's tougher to handle of these lunatics that we have inside like Adam Schiff Adam Shifty shiff think of this guy's going to be a senator it is the enemy from within and they're very dangerous they're marxists and Communists and fascists and they're sick I use a guy like Adam shiff cuz they made up the Russia Russia Russia hooks Adam Shifty shiff he's a crooked guy he's a crooked politician 100% And he's going to be a senator now can you believe it uh but again he's a political opponent of your the enemy no he's a well he is of course he's an enemy he's an enemy we have a bigger problem from within and they ate it I noticed uh today they were saying he said the enemy from within of course it's Adam Schiff these are bad people these are sick people and bad people well we do know that congressman shiff is definitely living rentree in Trump's head but that language is also so 4:00 alarming and because it's so common these days from Trump it's easy to get numb to it and it's easy to convince yourself that has nothing to do with you easy to think his threats are only directed at his political opponents and public figures you know people like Adam Schiff or Nancy Pelosi but they're not I mean sure Trump is calling those people out by name right now so there's a significance to that but when he talks about the Enemy Within he's not just talking about a handful of his political opponents he's really talking about a broad swath of people he's talking about any woman who wants to have an abortion or the doctors who might provide it he's talking about immigrants vowing to launch the largest domestic deportation operation in American history and even legal immigrants who Trump would denaturalize and Deport to countries they barely know he's talking about members of the lgbtq plus Community like transgender Americans running on rolling back their rights he's talking about people who used to work for him who dared to disagree with him some of whom he has insinuated at times deserve exec ution talking about journalists and elected officials and federal workers and schools and peaceful protesters and 5:05 any Rank and file voter who he deems a threat to his political Ambitions I mean he's talking about so many Americans and he may very well be talking about you so I know when you hear these sound bites of trump calling high-profile Democrats his enemy it might be easy to tune it out or think it won't really impact you I think n that has nothing to do with me but it's important to hear them within the full context of who he is and what he has said said before because there's a very real possibility that it does impact you or your sister or your son or your neighbor and as unbelievable as it might sound it's important to realize why Trump is saying this over and over again he's saying it because he is trying to condition the American people ahead of his possible second term to think about his enemies as people who were bad who were less than who deserve to have their rights threatened if you say something enough people will eventually believe it right and if people people believe it then whatever happens to them whatever he might do to 6:02 punish them will be okay the Atlantic say apple bomb put it like this quote if you connect your opponents with disease illness and poison blood if you dehumanize them as insects or animals if you speak of squashing them or cleansing them as if they were pests or bacteria then you can much more easily arrest them deprive them of Rights exclude them or even kill them if they are parasites they aren't human if they are Vermin they don't get to enjoy freedom of speech or freedoms of any kind and if you squash them you won't be held accountable that is what Trump is doing that is his goal and if you don't believe it just listen to this from his running mate JD Vance he's asked about these enemies within comment and I've read all of it I've listened to all of it it's hard for me to know what he really means about it but that that's not my question my question is why is it necessary well bill first of all Donald 7:00 Trump is unfiltered I think this is one of the reasons why the campaign has gone well is because he's not doing a basement campaign strategy he's not just running on slogans when people ask him questions he speaks from the heart he's just speaking from the heart just speaking from the heart over and over again so I guess once again as we often say let's take him at his word joining me now as Democratic congressman Adam Schiff he's now a candidate for US Senate Congressman it's great to see you but I just wanted to start by asking you about today as I just started saying I think it's important to take a step back and realize the significance of the vice president a democratic nominee sitting on the stage with Liz Cheney you know them both well what what were you thinking when you when you uh were watching today well just how remarkable a spectacle it is to see the two of them together and not just Liz Cheney but Dick Cheney as well supporting uh a Democrat for president K Harris for president but I'm not surprised that Liz Cheney is stepping up this way she has 8:03 demonstrated over the last several years that she has real spine she has real character that she's willing to live uh her principles her oath of office and what has been so tragic about the last several years is just how rare the Liz chenies and Adam kinzinger turned out to be I would have thought many more in the Republican Party would have stood up spoken out uh many are starting to now uh and I think Liz has really leading the way to that point Congressman it's such a good point because she has not avoided threats she's not avoided criticism she lost her political seat because of this at the same time well she is dealing with all of that you've been called out by Trump so many times you're still out there publicly talking and so my question to you is why can't people like John Kelly Jim Mattis Mitt Romney and others speak out is it fear is it something else um and are you disappointed I am disappointed that Mo are not 9:03 speaking out uh there's you know all of bush world really uh George W bush and the you know hundreds of people that were close to him in his administration uh that still could speak powerfully to the Republican party in Republican base uh they've chosen to remain silent they don't want to get sullied by Donald Trump uh they don't want to you know take all of the kind of incoming sleev from the Trump enablers uh and while I can certainly understand that our democracy is on the edge here uh we have a candidate for president who's talking about unleashing the military against his domestic opponents this is not the time to be squeamish people need to stand up and be counted and I hope more will follow the example of of Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney yeah no no question about it and there's some people who could do that I mean I just played several Clips I don't know if you saw of trump going after you by name I know you've said he lives you you live rree in his head I think that's fair but are you ever afraid for yourself or your family and how do you factor that 10:05 in well you know I think you have to be concerned when you have someone running for president who is singling you out as an enemy to be dealt with by the military because that kind of crazy talk reaches people who are unwell but look I think the candidate himself is unwell he seems increasingly unhinged uh detached from reality uh in his conduct of his campaign in his OB seen references during his campaign in his dancing in instead of giving interviews on the campaign stage uh so we're seeing a lot of very erratic Behavior which would be okay if it was your crazy grandpa your crazy old grandpa but this is a candidate for president but more than that uh to have an American candidate for president nominee talking using the language of a Kremlin dictator or a South American dictator or any other dictator uh is unheard of in American politics uh and poses real threat to the health of our democracy yeah and I wanted to 11:04 ask you one of those specifics you already referenced I mean he's talked about using the military against the enemy from within which in my view is quite a broad swath of people he obviously wouldn't have that power to do unless he's elected but I wonder what you think about that possibility and you know you could likely be a new member of the Senate how how are you and others preparing for that possibility well I'm uh preparing for a Harris presidency which I think is the most likely outcome but is of course very close and you know should the worst happen and he once again have access to the levers of power uh we're all going to have to do everything we can to defend our democracy and our institutions because during the four years he had an office uh he drummed out all the people of any Independence or stature who might stand up to him and replac them with utter sick offense and he would start with the other sick offence um but I think the point you made at the top is such an important one Jen that uh he may be singling out particular people or groups right now uh 12:05 you know he's moved on for the moment from uh smearing the Haitian Community to going after me or Nancy Pelosi or others but tomorrow there's no telling who it will be what group it will be uh whether he will uh encourage his enablers in state government or local government to turn after their local political opponents or people who are expressing themselves in criticism of their government or his policies so this is a I think a danger to the whole country and just what Harris has been pointing out we need a president who will bring us together not one who want to cast wants to cast anyone who disagrees with him as an enemy Within no question and I just so everybody we're we're obviously watching the start of the event we're going to bring that to everyone we're going to listen to that in just a moment but I wanted to ask because I think everybody's tuning into this we're just 15 days out from the election and hopefully they're tuning in 13:00 to kind of the Trump possibilities here which is one of the reasons I love talking to you about it one of the things you've talked about is that the fact that now that the so-called guard reels Trump made have had during his first term won't be there and I just wanted to play specifically with Congress is one of the things I think there isn't enough focus on I wanted to play this exchange with house Speaker Mike Johnson when he was oppressed when he was pressed yesterday about Trump R and then defended it I mean I've had colleagues in the house say he must be eliminated he must be extinguished he's literally talking about milary against Democrats I mean he's literally talking no he's not no no he's not Jake no he's not no he's talking about using the National Guard in the military to keep the peace in our streets and I I wanted to raise this because he Trump needs enablers right he needs enablers within the White House but also in Congress in order to do what he wants to do and the January 6 committee and all of your work raised this issue extensively so what should people understand from listening to that 14:02 about I guess how far his party will let him go well I think what people should understand for Mike Johnson who wants to remain speaker who feels that he needs Trump's support to remain speaker he will do anything say anything uh he will defend the indefensible he will tell you what Donald Trump is saying is not what he is saying he'll sacrifice everything uh Robert Carrol the historian once said that power doesn't corrupt his much as it reveals well it's revealing Mike Johnson to be who he is someone desperate to be in power um it revealed Liz Cheney to be a person of great courage and conviction but it revealed so many JD vces the people who once described Trump as a potential Hitler or cultural opioid as being utterly Craven now desperate to be on this unfit ticket uh and uh what it does tell us is we're going to need uh a democratic majority in House and Senate I think part of the reason he goes after me and you could 15:00 tell upset he is that I might be in the US Senate he doesn't want people in the senate or the house standing up to him but uh should the worst happen we will stand up to him but I'm confident the best is going to happen uh and vice president Harris will be our next president Congress Madam Chef always enjoy talking to you thank you so much for taking the time and to that end uh coming up we're going to dip into K Harris's event with Liz Cheney and Wisconsin where the unlikely Duo is making their case about the threat Donald Trump poses to our democracy we're going to show it to you live in just 60 seconds we've been monitoring this event with KLA Harris and Liz Cheney in Brookfield Wisconsin it's being moderated by MSNBC contributor and conservative commentator Charlie syes you can see him on the screen right there this is Cheney and Harris's third event of the day together each of them has been fascinating they've all been in swing States so let's listen in for a bit that he is increasingly unstable but you don't have to take my word for it listen to the people who know him best the people who worked with him in 16:03 the White House in the Oval Office in The Situation Room his former Chief of Staff two former secretaries of defense his secretaries of defense his former National Security advisor and of course his former vice president and they have each talked about the the chief of staff that Donald Trump has contempt for the Constitution of the United States not only has that been said by a former Chief of Staff of the former president but we know he has openly talked about his intention to terminate the Constitution of the United States I have taken that oath six times as district attorney twice elected and reelected as Attorney General of the largest state in California twice as United States Senator and actually now as vice president and the congresswoman and I have talked about that that is an oath one must take seriously it is a duty to defend and honor and uphold the 17:02 Constitution of the United States he has said he would terminate it anyone who wants to be president of the United States should never again be able to stand behind the Seal of the president of the United States having said they would terminate the Constitution of the United States and again most recently the report is that the former chairman of the joint Chiefs of Staff a decorated General said of Donald Trump that he is fascist to the core these are the people who know him best people who worked with him and so yes we can talk about that moment on stage of the music and all that but um I think it's very important that we acknowledge and I have said publicly Donald Trump is an unserious man and the consequences of him ever being president of the United States again are brutally serious brutally serious I to 18:07 to to the congresswoman's point I have now as vice president of United States met over 150 world leaders presidents Prime Ministers chancellors and Kings many of them multiple times we are on a firstname basis most of them allies in connection with NATO and and I've met with them in connection with our standing rightly with Ukraine the world is watching this election and our allies are worried because the reality is that when we as the United States of America walk in these rooms around the world we walk in chin up shoulders back with the earned and self-appointed authority to talk about the importance of democracy and rule of law and being a role model this is a room of role models we know as a role model people watch 19:02 what you do to see if it matches up to what you say one of my very real fears Charlie to be candid is I hope that we as the American people fully understand how important America is to the world I hope we really really understand that because this is about what will happen to and and with us as Americans but it will impact people around the world let me follow up on that um congresswoman because I was on a podcast recently with with another pundit who was saying that she was afraid that America was sleepwalking into authoritarianism that American voters were not sufficiently alarmed as the vice president just said the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff just said that Donald Trump was the most dangerous threat facing the country do America in this last 15 days do they understand that and what has to 20:03 happen in the next two weeks for them to really understand the danger yeah I I think that they they think they do and you know one of the things I I remind people is that um although not every Republican who is casting a vote for vice president Harris will say publicly that they are there's clearly you know uh a threat associated with that in some instances um but but Millions will and and they will do that for a whole range of reasons but but what You' mentioned is so important I mean when I think about uh you know I the first time I ever voted was for Ronald Reagan um I've known presidents well obviously particularly I know a vice president well um in addition to vice president Harris um and and I watch how our presidents have operated and um even when there have been presidents that we have potentially disagreed with on issues they've respected the 21:01 Constitution I mean think about the the 2000 election and how close that was and what vice president Gore did in in his concession speech and and ensuring that we had the peaceful transfer of power and so I I would just urge people again you don't have to to take my word for it but but look at what the people closest to Donald Trump are saying about him look at the testimony of the leaders of his justice department the leaders of his campaign the most senior officials in his White House look at their testimony in front of the select committee you know they're the ones that that told us everything that we know uh about his plan to overturn the last election about what he did watching the attack from his dining room we've never faced a threat like this before and I I I think it's so important for people to realize this Republic only survives if we protect it and that means putting partisan politics aside and standing up 22:07 for the Constitution and for what's right and loving our country more do do you think we'll be hearing more from some of those folks in the next 15 days the generals the Chiefs of Staff the people who really understand exactly how unfit Donald Trump is I I do I also think that you know um that that they have been very clear so far I mean you've had you've had hundreds of National Security officials who served in Republican administrations endorse the vice president yeah um and all of the things that that you know the fact that these people aren't endorsing the fact that vice president Pence was the most loyal uh person there was to Donald Trump he won't endorse him because he knows Donald Trump asked him to violate his oath of office now that should also give you a lot of pause about JD Vance 23:03 JD Vance is there because he will do what Donald Trump wants and that makes him a particular danger to The Republic as well and and I'll add to that point understand also what happened in the last few months when the Supreme Court essentially told the former president he will be immune from anything he does in office so whereas before there was at least some threat of consequence and accountability that no longer exists and to the congresswoman's point imagine Donald Trump based on everything we know about him and everything we see now and before imagine him with no guard rails because all of those folks who worked with him before they're not those who held him back who attempted to ensure that he would follow the law are no longer there and and we have 24:07 the Supreme Court decision so the stakes are very high okay let's go to the audience for some questions uh we we have some U undecided voters we have some questions for you uh Madame vice president um let's go to Lisa Brockman uh from Madison uh Lisa is a small business owner hi good evening thanks for taking my question I have a question on reproductive Freedom yeah and um I am come from a Conservative Christian pro-life family and I was a republican until Donald Trump's presidency um like most Americans I believe in a woman's right to choose and with the overturning of roie Wade my 21-year-old daughter now has fewer rights than her mother or her grandmothers um I no longer recognize the Republican party they have introduced bills um from everything from 25:05 restricting birth control to Bringing homicide charges for abortion it is such an extreme radical agenda by any standards um it it seems less about uh The Unborn and more about controlling women so my question is what are your thoughts on this extremism and how can we restore those fundamental human rights that have been taken away from the American women thank you so to your point when Donald Trump was President he uh hand selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of row and they did as he intended and now there are at least 20 States in our country that have criminalized healthc care provid I mean in Texas say the the law provides for 26:00 prison for life for a doctor nurse health care provider for doing what they believe is Healthcare and in the best interest of their patient um punishing women I was actually just this week um just a few days ago in the state of Georgia with the mother of a young woman who died because of Georgia's abortion ban and she had to go to another state and it's a a long and very tragic story that did not have to be and here's how I think about this issue one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree that the government these folks in a state capital much less Donald Trump should not be making this decision for her if she chooses she will talk with her priest her pastor Rabbi her imom but not the government and and I also have found though since the the two years that the do's decision came down that this happened I have had conversations with a 27:05 number of people who were opposed to abortion and remain opposed to it but did not intend for the harm that we are seeing to happen and I think as this has this decision came down and we are seeing the harm we've been listening to KLA Harris and Liz Cheney campaigning together in Brookfield we'll continue to watch but joining me at the big table tonight is Molly Jang fast special correspondent for Vanity Fair Democratic strategist and pollster Cornell Belcher and NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Ali vitalii I mean that was quite and we've seen some thematics today where they talk a lot about threats of democracy also abortion rats has come up repeatedly at these events it's is really interesting I want to talk about both of them Al want to start with you because you the hardest working person on the campaign Trail you're out there very hardworking people but but you covered Nikki Haley for months also Trump but for months and one of the things that struck me watching today is 28:04 that clearly vice president Harris and her team see undecide that that there are undecided voters out there that they're still getable and that these type of events are a way to do that but you're still covering you're still talking to Haley voters what do they think does this work and what works with them yeah covered Nikki Haley for months I've covered Donald Trump for years back since the 2015 days s I'm fine but I do think that these kinds of events are exactly what Haley voters have wanted to hear now whether or not it actually persuades them I guess we'll find out on Election Day but I do think that this is the message that was the most Salient and I have to say when I was out in Iowa and then New Hampshire then South Carolina during the Republican primary I was almost surprised actually to hear from the number of Voters who said I was a trump voter in 16 I was a trump voter in 20 I'm not anymore because of January 6th and I think the polling might have maybe told us that those hearings were not as impactful as maybe we thought they might be I found that to be a little bit depressing given the way 29:04 that we all love the capital to me it's like a second home in a good way and a bad way um but the fact that so many of those voters said it was such a turning point for them such an inflection point for them to finally put them away from Trump these are the kinds of Voters that they are speaking directly to as they go to Battleground States and the abortion issue if it's not January 6th it's abortion because I have literally met women who said to me I was a Republican and I changed my voter registration to Independent the day after dos because I was embarrassed to be a republican the way that question was asked about how it's not about the lives of babies I'm paraphrasing here it's about controlling women it's really interesting okay Cornell Al like touched on a really interesting point there because people say jary sex doesn't matter democracy doesn't matter although democracy has mattered and past elections for sure and I wanted to ask you about this undecided voter question because you're actually very dug into the numbers more than the rest of us how many undecided voters are 30:02 there out there where are they leaning is this the kind of thing that works it seems clear that Harris and is closing this campaign trying to appeal its undecided voters which is smart ex expanding the base well there's the undecided vote and there's also what we call that that that malleable voter that's still sort of in the middle kind of softly leaning one way or the other and I think for this sort of the event I mean there are Republicans who are uncomfortable with the ideal of voting Democrats M and and from from because they've done it so long they've done it so long Republican but they also they they believe in sort of core conservative ideas that made them Republican and I got to tell you there's no more a better representative of traditional conservative values than a Cheney in America that's a pretty good Republican conservative brand you know and being out there on the trail with them having these conversations with a Cheney and a Cheney leaning in on how she supports the vice president leaning on in on the sort of democracy point of this I I think it does help some of 31:04 these reluctant Republicans move this way now is it going to be you know 20 30% of them no but in a state like Pennsylvania in a state like North Carolina wisc a state like Nevada you know four or five% you know these elections will be won or lost by a percentage or two it does help with those Nick with those Niki those Nicki voters who be like oh and then go and but if Li Chene is doing it might be okay which we should point out Nikki Haley voters might be up for compromise on this Nikki Haley herself is an endorser of Donald Trump and came back right home to the party that that is true but the voters themselves because we've shorthanded that is kind of some of the getable voters we'll see there was something that um that Liz Cheney said earlier today actually about abortion rights which just stuck out to me I mean she she is a very powerful message on Democracy she's been doing and it's really impactful but let's just play what she said about abortion earlier we're we're just going to pull it up and we're gonna get to it in a moment then I W to ask then I W ask you about it Molly they're gonna tell me 32:03 when it's ready um we can make one little okay we're good we can play it let's play it I think there are many of us uh around the country who have been pro-life um but who have watched what's going on in our States since Do's decision and have watched State legislatures um put in place laws that um are resulting in women not getting the care they need and so um I think this this is not an issue that we're seeing break down across party lines but I think we're seeing people come together to say um what has happened to women when women are facing situations where they can't get the care they need where in places like Texas for example um the Attorney General is talking about suing is suing to get access to Women's Medical Records that's not sustainable for us uh as as a country and and it has to change I mean I thought this was an 33:03 incredibly powerful moment because it's a very bridge building message um as a proud Defender for a long time of abortion rights that was a bridge building message or that's how I heard it now one of the things it reminded me of is white Women Voters who have been a voting block that went for Trump by nine points in 16 and 11 points 11 points four years ago right now it's it's about tide and and most of the polls including the NBC poll abortion rights seems quarter that what but what do you think you've been writing about covering this issue for some time yeah I mean look abortion is I think has been a huge motivator and I think what Cheney said is really important this idea that this is not that it's really about women sort of not getting care and we see that in a lot of the reporting like that lift Louisiana report came out to show these Obstetricians who were scared to treat women in the first trimester because they didn't want to get blamed for a 34:03 miscarriage and CNN just had reporting about this High rate you know Texas overturned row a year before with eight and so they have now almost three years worth of data and it shows that you have increased matern increased fetal mortality you have these women who are walking coffins right they are delivering babies that are going to die in the excess of the hundreds and it's you know this is because they cannot get care and you know as someone who is pregnant twice and who knows what a struggle it is you know this is just not a way that women should have to live in this in this era and no question they're both huge issues um when unfortunately have to wrap it up though I'm going to encourage everybody Ally did some great reporting from Pennsylvania with some um interesting voters who were white Women Voters it's a huge issue we'll talk more about it thank you all so much Corell Ally Molly I always love talking to you and coming up Donald Trump just wrapped up his speech at a qinon meets white 35:03 nationalism campaign event that's an accurate summary I promise you sounds like a party to me but I'm going to tell you all about it after a very quick break that for e e for e e for
