The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell : MSNBCW : July 25, 2024 10:00pm-11:01pm PDT : Free Borrow & Streaming : Internet Archive (2024)

10:00 pm

speech was a little bit low energy but it was fine. people in the crowd tend to like it but he has not really done much media. he did a show with don junior today which was a curious choice . did not expand the audience all that much but honestly what has happened is he has become almost name a fight but other are about cats and childless women creating this aura about him that is frankly, for lack of a better word, that he is weird and i think that's beginning to stick in one of the ways to get around it is to get out there publicly and do more media but he has been focusing on fundraising, mostly. >> all i got to say if the strategy is to get him more

10:01 pm

norm, do a podcast with trump junior, think again, trump campaign. thank you for staying late doing some overtime with me. that is our show for tonight. now, it is time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. >> good evening, alex. we have our famous -- favorite pennsylvania election and was joining us tonight, bob casey and susan rice is going to join us because it is national security day with the vice president meeting with benjamin netanyahu. she is a former u.n. ambassador. and, there is this guy that used to be on the show all the time coming back, andrew weissmann. he talks about legal stuff and we've been on other stuff for a while so this is -- we're going to catch up with him. >> i've missed him. i'm here to see him. i'm here to see him's -- his handsome face once again. have a great show. donald trump is now the oldest nominee for president in history, and kamala harris is not going to let anyone forget that. as we will see in a moment, on another day, when economic news indicators showed

10:02 pm

the world leading strength of the biden-harris economy, donald trump did what he usually does, nothing. for four years, donald trump was the latest and stupidest president in history by far, and now he is the laziest and stupidest presidential candidate in history. he is the only candidate for president today who did absolutely nothing today. there is no evidence that donald trump got out of bed today. he would not have had to do that for the unhinged phone call placed to the fox propaganda network this morning one hour before the new gdp report came out showing even stronger growth in the american economy than anticipated. in a statement, president biden said today's gdp report makes clear we now have the strongest economy in the world thanks to my and vice president harris' economic agenda.

10:03 pm

our economy grew a robust 2.8% over the last quarter based on strong american consumers and business investment. that will not stop donald trump. it did not stop donald trump from lying about the american economy and pretending it is something other than the best in the world, as he did for us today on the phone with fox when he also called kamala harris real garbage. >> i get a kick out of one thing. they say sir, be nice. he just got hit with a bullet. maybe he's changed. be nice and i would love to be nice but i'm dealing against real garbage when you hear that. >> okay, sir, two things. number one, according to the fbi directors under oath testimony yesterday, we don't know if donald trump got hit with a bullet. the fbi director suggested it could be shrapnel or something

10:04 pm

else far less dangerous than a bullet. donald trump is the only person in history protected by the secret service who was shot at, brought to hospital and then did not allow any of the medical personnel at that hospital to explain to the news media what happened to him. none of the medical personnel who treated donald trump at the hospital have been allowed to say what they think and drew blood that day. >> with respect to former president trump, there is some question about whether or not it is a bullet or shrapnel that hit his year, so it is conceivable, though as i see right now, i don't know whether that bullet in addition to causing the grazing could have also landed somewhere else, but i believe we have accounted for all of the shots and the cartridges. >> and, number two, real garbage. if you are the type of person who tries to think of people as inanimate objects, it's hard to think of someone who would better personify real garbage

10:05 pm

than the man who you just heard call his opponent real garbage. everything out of donald trump's mouth is real garbage. and, should be treated as such by the news media. donald trump is a pollutant. he has polluted american politics. he has polluted the minds of the people who believe qanon madness and all other sorts of other impossibilities about the world and then follow their hero, donald trump. he is simultaneously stupid enough to believe the real garbage that he spews, and layer enough not to believe all of it. and so, the real garbage campaign is underway. on most campaign days between now and election day, the oldest, laziest and stupidest presidential nominee in history will do absolutely nothing, but will probably manage to find the time on social media or otherwise to spew his garbage, including on rupert murdoch's

10:06 pm

garbage channel, where they all left it up for money. rupert murdoch's money. rupert murdoch is the richest and oldest owner of a propaganda channel anywhere in the world, and he has dedicated it for years now to the delivery of real garbage directly into the homes of fox viewers on behalf of the real garbage man, who is the oldest and only criminal presidential nominee in history. the harris campaign's response to donald trump's words on fox this morning was titled this way. statement on a 78-year-old criminals fox news appearance. the statement then took issue with some of what donald trump had to say of course, but the whole point of the statement was in that title, and that is the part that donald trump would be hit with everyday, and that will hurt him personally

10:07 pm

every day because we know who he is. we know enough to know that the phrase 78-year-old criminal will hurt him personally. it is going to be thrown at trump every day for the next 103 days by the harris campaign, and every one of those days it's going to be true. donald trump is going to be 78 years old and he is going to be a criminal, a convicted criminal every day of the presidential campaign and on september 18th him in the middle of the presidential campaign is going to be sentenced for his 34 criminal convictions in a manhattan courtroom and kamala harris is not going to let anyone not pay attention to that fact that donald trump is a 78-year-old criminal on that day when he is sentenced, and on every day of the campaign. of all of donald trump's bad qualities, his

10:08 pm

stupidity is both the most consistent in the most publicly damaging quality he has because it is the stupidity, the raw, unrelenting stupidity that lets them say things like this publicly. >> she's got a new line, you know, i'm the prosecutor. she is one of the worst prosecutors in history. the campaign says i'm the prosecutor and he is the convicted felon. that is their campaign. i don't think people are going to buy it. >> what is to buy? it's true. she is a prosecutor and you are a convicted felon, donald. the entire world knows both of those things are true and both of those things are going to be true every day of this presidential campaign and now the prosecutor wants her day in court, the court of public opinion, with the convicted felon. >> am ready to debate donald trump. i have a great to the

10:09 pm

previously agreed-upon september 10th debate. he agreed to that previously now it appears he is backpedaling but i'm ready and i think the voters deserve to see the split screen that exists in this race on a debate stage and so i'm ready. let's go. >> when donald trump does pull himself out of the easy chair and get out on the campaign trail as he did yesterday, he no longer uses that line about how he always hires the best people since so many of the people he hired as president he then fired and so many of them and others who works for donald trump as president, including his vice president mike pence, have turned against donald trump in this presidential campaign but donald trump continues to demonstrate just how bad he is at the very concept of hiring an expertise in government. yesterday, he said he wants race car drivers to guide our military.

10:10 pm

he wants race car drivers to tell her generals in the joint chiefs of staff and the pentagon what to do. donald trump believes if you can drive a car in circles, surely you can tell the entire defense department what to do in every situation. he also said he thinks football coaches should come to the pentagon and take over those meetings and tell the generals what to do. here is one of donald trump's favorite former football coaches. >> my opinion of of white nationalist if somebody wants to call the white nationalist to me as an american. >> that alabama white nationalist may be america's stupidest person who has ever won a football game as a coach and he is now of course a republican senator. while donald trump did nothing today and may have spent the entire day in pajamas and slippers, we don't know, kamala

10:11 pm

harris excepted the endorsement of the american federation of teachers in houston. >> as you may know, i am a proud product of public education. many of you know that my first grade teacher, mrs. francis wilson, god rest her soul, taught me and educated me and encouraged me and inspired me, and years later when i walked across the stage to receive my law school diploma, mrs. francis wilson was in the audience. yeah. and, that is who you are. i know who you are. i know who you are. this work is personal, and it is professional and critically important, and so it is because of mrs. wilson and so many teachers like her that i stand before you as vice president of

10:12 pm

the united states of america and that i am running to become president of the united states of america. in this moment, we are in a fight for our most fundamental freedoms, and to this room of leaders, i say bring it on. bring it on. bring it on. bring it on. that's right. because, here is the thing. here is the thing. here is the thing.

10:13 pm

we believe in our country. we believe in its promise of freedom, and the american people believe in the promise of freedom, so we are in the fight. >> today, the kamala harris super pac said it will spend $50 million to broadcast this ad in key electoral college states in the three weeks leading up to a democratic national convention. >> district attorney who protected children from predators. she is the attorney general listed up to the big banks to protect homeowners and won. the senator who fought to defend a woman's right to make her own medical decisions, and the vice president who fought to cap the price of insulin at $35 a month. as america turns the page, kamala harris is ready.

10:14 pm

>> joining us now is democratic senator bob casey of pennsylvania. thank you very much for joining us tonight. i know we need to talk about your campaign, but you are our most valuable pennsylvania election analyst and so i need you to tell us what is happening in the presidential campaign in pennsylvania tonight and you are one of the first senators on sunday to endorse kamala harris for president. how does it look in pennsylvania? >> lawrence, first of all i think she is going to win pennsylvania and we have a lot of work to do between now and then but she is going to win and i think there are a couple of reasons for that. number one is people know she is prepared right now to do this job. she is prepared to be commander- in-chief but i think probably more importantly in the next couple of weeks, people are going to see her in this

10:15 pm

campaign directly meeting people and meeting people where they are. one of the issues i've talked a lot about our costs and making sure we are taking on corporate america when they're jacking up the prices of food and household items so-called re- inflation and its related cousin of shrink- flation,she's going to understand what people are up against whether it is cost of groceries or childcare costs. she understands that people in rural areas of been up against for years we were not investing in high-speed internet in places like pennsylvania around the country and i think when people see her and hear her plans for the future, they're going to get a better sense that she has a sense of their struggles, will listen to them and respond to them as president so i think she is going to win pennsylvania. i've

10:16 pm

got obviously a big race to win as well but we're both going to run and win. >> you will be running together. i'm sure there will be many events where you are there together, but you will also be out there in pennsylvania a lot more than kamala harris will be able to be during the course of the campaign, making that case for yourself. you currently have a polling lead in pennsylvania over your opponent but you are also in one of the most expensive states in the country to campaign. you have that philadelphia television market, the pittsburgh television market and other markets in between so there is a massive fundraising challenge for your site campaign which may end up being the most asked prints of site campaign anywhere in the country and at the same time there is this in norma's need for the presidential campaign. >> there is no question i think ours could be if not the top spending race in the country, maybe a close second, and right

10:17 pm

now for example right now my opponent, most of his advertising is paid for by not one, two, but three super pac's and then of course he himself is worth a couple hundred million dollars so we're going to have to be able to compete with that, get our message out about lowering costs, about stopping the flow of fentanyl and making sure we are responding to the needs families have so it is a tall order. it is a big task but i ask people to help us in this battle because this is going to be a battle to protect women's rights, workers rights, and voting rights. they are all on the line in pennsylvania so if you are with us and want to help us please go to bob casey.com. >> there is such a mutuality of campaign interests in there and the strength of the casey campaign helps the strength of the harris campaign every day. >> i think when you're running in a race when so much is on

10:18 pm

the line, this is the most consequential election of any of our lifetimes and i would say no matter what the edge of the person is, because we are going to decide major issues as you have highlighted over and over again on basic rights. we are also going to decide whether to have a country that has a tax code that is going to invest in the middle class, invest in our kids and whether we are going to have a maga tax code where it all goes to the top to billionaires and big corporations, so, so much is on the line and i think the people of our state know that. they have a sense of it and i have never seen a lift like we have seen just in the last couple of days. the only thing comparable is the early months or maybe the summer of 2008 when president obama was running. it is the same kind of energy and dynamism you hear from

10:19 pm

voters of all ages all across the board. >> you delivered that key endorsement of barack obama in the 2008 primary season in pennsylvania. that was a bob casey endorsement in pennsylvania is always the most important. thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> thanks, lawrence. coming up, vice president harris met with benjamin netanyahu today. m, we will be joined by susan rice. that is next. susan rice. that is next. being me. keep being you... and ask your healthcare provider about the number one prescribed h-i-v treatment, biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in many people whether you're 18 or 80. with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to undetectable—and stay there whether you're just starting or replacing your current treatment. research shows that taking h-i-v treatment as prescribed and getting to and staying undetectable prevents transmitting h-i-v through sex. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure.

rare, life-threatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your healthcare provider. common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. no matter where life takes you, biktarvy can go with you. talk to your healthcare provider today.

president biden met with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu earlier this afternoon while vice president harris was flying back from houston where you give the keynote speech at the american federation of teachers convention. when she returned to the white house, she met with netanyahu in the vice president's office. after that meeting, the vice president said this. >> i just had a frank and constructive meeting with prime minister netanyahu. i told him that i will always ensure that israel is able to defend itself, including from iran and iran-backed militias such as hamas and hezbollah. from when i was a young girl collecting funds to plant trees for israel to my time in the

10:25 pm

united states senate and now at the white house, i have had an unwavering commitment to the existence of the state of israel, to its security and to the people of israel. i've said it many times but it bears repeating. israel has a right to defend itself, and how it does so matters. hamas is a brutal terrorist organization. on october 7, hamas triggered this war when it massacred 1200 innocent people, including 44 americans. hamas has committed horrific acts of sexual violence and took 250 hostages. there are american citizens who remain captive in gaza. and,

10:26 pm

the remains of american citizens . they are still being held in gaza. i have met with the families of these american hostages multiple times now, and i have told them each time, they are not alone and i stand with them, and president biden and i are working every day to bring them home. i also expressed with the prime minister my serious concern about the scale of human suffering in gaza, including the death of far too many innocent civilians, and i made clear my serious concern about the dire humanitarian situation there with over 2 million people facing high levels of food insecurity, and half 1 million people facing catastrophic levels of acute

10:27 pm

food insecurity. what is happened in gaza over the past nine months is devastating. the images of dead children and desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety sometimes displaced for the second, third or fourth time. we cannot look away in the face of the strategies -- these tragedies. we cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering and cannot be silent. thanks to the leader of our president, joe biden, there is a deal on the table for a cease- fire and a hostage deal. it is time for this war to end, and and in a way where israel is secure, all the hostages are released, the suffering of palestinians in gaza and's, and the palestinian people can exercise their right to freedom , dignity, and self- determination.

10:28 pm

there has been hopeful movement in the talks to secure an agreement on this deal, and as i just told israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, it is time to get this deal done. >> our next guest is one of the more than 350 former national security officials who signed a letter endorsing vice president harris for president. joining us now is susan rice, who served as united states ambassador to the united nations and the obama administration and later served as obama's national security adviser and most recently as white house adviser of the domestic policy council for president biden. ambassador rice, thank you very much for joining us tonight. i want to go first of all to you in the 350 other national security officials who signed that letter. what is at stake? what do you see justin foreign policy terms that is at stake in the selection -- this election?

10:29 pm

>> good evening. i was proud to be among the 350 or so national security leaders of both parties who signed that letter. we signed up because we know kamala harris is uniquely experienced and ready to serve as commander-in-chief. she has got more national security experience going into this job, and will have when she is elected president than the four presidents who preceded joe biden, and her record is one that holds up in comparison to anybody else's. she has taken more than 20 foreign trips to 20 countries. she has met with more than 150 world leaders. she said in the situation room for the presidential daily brief every day of this administration and she is ready. what you heard in her remarks following her meeting with prime minister netanyahu went

10:30 pm

really pitch perfect, and indicative of the kind of leader she will be as president. >> ambassador rice, it's so great to have you here tonight on foreign policy but please come back because you are the only people -- this happens once in a generation that someone is a high-ranking official and foreign policy and later on domestic policy in the white house. i think of daniel patrick moynihan in the past and offhand i cannot think of another one and so please come back as often as you can on other issues and is weak concentrate on the foreign policy issues raised today, especially involving israel, the vice president talk about a two-state solution. let's listen to the way she said that. >> i remain committed to a path forward that can lead to a two- state solution, and i know right now it is hard to conceive of that prospect, but a two- state solution is the only path that ensures israel remains a secure jewish and democratic

10:31 pm

state, and one that ensures palestinians can finally realize the freedom, security and prosperity that they rightly deserve. >> in the event that kamala harris wins, as new polls are indicating she is on track to do, when and if she is president-elect, how would you advise her to begin pursuing or to continue pursuing the two- state solution joe biden has been pursuing? >> well, first of all, this war has to end and it has to and quickly with a cease-fire and the plan that the president laid out, the three-stage plan that the vice president again reiterated. that is job one and we will need to ensure that the hostages come home, that gaza has the humanitarian assistance that it needs so desperately in that there can begin to be a process of rebuilding from what

10:32 pm

has been the devastation that resulted from hamas' horrific attack on israel on october 7th of the israeli military campaign to eradicate hamas, so first and foremost we need to put to bed this conflict and begin the process of rebuilding . we need a palestinian leadership in gaza and the west bank that is capable, technocratic, and reflects fairly the will of the palestinian people and when those elements begin to get in place then we are in a position to begin to proceed towards what is so necessary and long overdue, which is a two-state solution but you know as the vice president said today, that is not something that we can realize immediately, and many people view it as more remote possibility than ever before but it has to be clearly our

10:33 pm

goal and intent. it has to be something that both sides are committed to, and that is part of the deal prospectively on the table with the arab nations and the saudi's in particular, the prospect of normalization of relations with israel in exchange for, among other things, a credible, serious time bound path to peace and a two-state solution. >> the trump position on gaza is for israel to do whatever israel wants to do. donald trump is just that finish the job and in israeli terms, that to donald trump means whatever israel wants to do, as much destruction, devastation, killing us the israeli military and government would choose to do. let's listen to what is now the biden-harris position advanced now by candidate harris on the

10:34 pm

deal that they would like to strike right now. let's listen to that. >> the first phase of the deal would bring about a full cease- fire, including a withdrawal of the israeli military from population centers in gaza, and the second phase, the israeli military would withdraw from gaza entirely and it would lead to a permanent end to the hostilities. >> by comparison, donald trump is not uttered a single sentence like that, not a word about any kind of cease-fire. how can president biden and vice president harris at this point advance that deal? >> they have to make very clear, as i'm sure they did today, to prime minister netanyahu, two things. one, that the patients of the

10:35 pm

world, the united states and the international community for an endless war is over, and secondly, that it is not in israel's interest for this were to continue indefinitely. they are facing hezbollah on the northern border, increased attacks by the houthi's out of yemen. the whole region is at risk of conflagration on the best possible way to secure israel, return the hostages, and reduce the tensions in the region at the risk of a wider war with israel fighting on multiple fronts is to achieve the steel now with hamas. >> you are in kind of unique position to judge how you would like to see the issues balanced in this campaign during the presidential campaign. foreign-policy issues like what we have been discussing as well as domestic policy issues. how do you think voters should balance those issues? they might agree with the biden administration on every domestic policy, or most, and disagree with the biden-harris approach to the situation in

10:36 pm

gaza. how would you suggest voters balance all of those interests when they approach this election? >> most voters, as you know, are voting on the basis of their pocketbooks, their values, and their hopes and aspirations about where our country is going. it is very important obviously for americans to know that their commander-in-chief is strong and principled, stands up for democracy, and/or american values, will stand up to dictators like putin, and the post adversaries like china's xi jinping effectively in cooperation with allies but domestic issues come first in most people's minds, and international was our second, but i think in vice president harris, we have a candidate who is able to fulfill the

10:37 pm

aspirations of most americans on both dimensions. she has an ambitious vision as to where to take this country. she envisions a strengthened american democracy where rights and freedoms are protected and for every american, not just some americans, but every american has the opportunity to not just get by, but do very well to have the opportunity to get ahead, and her policies are healthcare, on the environment, education, job creation on technology, standing up for rural americans and americans all over this country are reflective of that vision. she is talking about the importance of ending child poverty in this country, which is something we have the ability to do and we have to do in a sustainable way and at the same time, she is very clear that she will stand by her allies in europe and asia, stand up to putin, and xi and work over the long term to bring lasting peace to the

10:38 pm

palestinian and israeli conflict and ensure that this horrific war which has wreaked so much suffering in israel and in gaza can come to a prompt and. >> former u.n. ambassador susan rice, thank you very much for joining us tonight. we will be here to hear from you again whenever you have the time. >> thank you very much. always good to be with you. coming up, andrew weissmann. you remember him. he will join us on today's defendant trump legal news. that is next. ant trump legal n that is next. and maybe even a little money. moat the... library.s right... for a better clean with less... it's got to be tide. the itch and rash of moderate to severe eczema disrupts my skin, night and day. despite treatment, it's still not under control. but now i have rinvoq. a once-daily pill that reduces the itch and helps clear the rash of eczema

10:43 pm

alvin bragg told the judge contemplating the ascendancy of donald trump that the supreme court's decision on presidential immunity has absolutely no impact on those 34 trunk convictions. judge merchan said he will issue a decision on december 6 on whether the supreme court's opinion affects the case against trump in any way. there is no dispute that almost all of the evidence in the case is not affected by the supreme court decision, which is relevant only to actions taken by a president while in office. most of the testimony in the manhattan criminal case against donald trump is about activity including an evening with stormy daniels that took place several years before donald trump even ran for president. trump lawyers claim that some of the testimony given by white

10:44 pm

house staffers hope hicks and madeline wester house should not have been allowed in the case. according to the supreme court's opinion, which was issued by the spring court four weeks after the jury's verdict in the case, during bragg's written brief to the judge says evidence that trump claims is affected by the supreme court's ruling constitutes only a sliver of the mounds of testimony and documentary proof the jury considered in finding him guilty of all 34 felony charges beyond a reasonable doubt. joining us now is andrew weissmann, former fbi general counsel, former chief of the criminal division of the eastern district of new york and co-author of the new york times best-selling book, "the trump indictments." we were in the courtroom for all this testimony and i had to rack my brain to think of what could possibly be relevant to the spring court decision.

10:45 pm

>> let's start with why we are here, because most viewers correctly are thinking, what does the supreme court case have to do with the manhattan case because the manhattan case was clearly personal conduct. in other words, it had nothing to do with his being president because these were all about actions he was taking as a candidate and then there was a certain time period where he was president, where there was evidence about his signing checks so you are still thinking this is clearly personal conduct. ark of the supreme court decision about immunity when you're president have anything to do with this and it is because justice alito at oral argument came up with this crazy theory and managed to get six boats for it, actually, five votes. excuse me, he lost amy coney barrett on this, saying that

10:46 pm

official evidence of what you did as president can't be introduced even in a case involving unofficial personal conduct, so if it has anything to do with what you are doing as president, he should not be put in because it would be too prejudicial for the jury to even hear it. they could not really be fair. that is the reasoning, that if they just heard what you did as president, it would incite their sort of emotions about the case too much for a jury to actually be fair, even when you are dealing with somebody who is the former president, about personal conduct. that is the craziness of why we are here and there are lots of arguments the d.a. makes that are very strong, some of which are that the issues here were not preserved. in other words, in order to have this claim, you have to make a claim at the time. the second is that this, even a supreme court case is not really talking about evidence of this case that is official. this is really unofficial so we are talking about a really small amount of the thing you are just referring to is what is called harmless error, meaning that this is a grain of

10:47 pm

sand on the beach, that the results would've been the same. i'm going to give you up prediction that judge merchan on december 6 is going to say the convictions stand. there are just too many different good arguments made by the d.a. today as to why this is sufficient and we may find ourselves on september 18th, which the judge said is the date he may in fact go ahead and sentence defendant trump, the republican nominee for president. >> i will be in the courtroom. just to give the audience an understanding of harmless error, it would be in the range of the witness who testified that federal express envelops arrive at the white house through a certain route outside of the white house and that is how these checks would be brought into the president. you could theoretically say that needs to be excluded based on the new supreme court opinion because you're describing a white house process

10:48 pm

. the judge could look at that and say okay, we might exclude that because it is a white house process, but because we did not excluded, it is an absolutely harmless error, that description of the fedex through the white house had nothing to do with the jury's verdict. >> you know when this usually comes up, when i used to do mark cases the defendant would say an appeal, i should've been able to cross examine the underboss and a witness on yet another bad act, and the court would say wait, you crossed him on 19 murders, you know, this is not going to change anything to a jury, so the idea of harmless error is that this is something that if you took it out of the case, the court is still convinced that the jury would have reached the same

10:49 pm

result. >> thank you very much and welcome back. coming up, march for our lives, the gun safety group delivered its first ever endorsement of candidate to kamala harris. david hogg will join us next. david hogg will join us next. but zero-migraine days are possible. don't take if allergic to qulipta®. most common side effects are nausea, constipation, and sleepiness. qulipta®. the forget-you-get migraine medicine™.

well we teach students about democracy and representative government, extremists attack the sacred freedom to vote. while you try to create safe and welcoming

10:53 pm

places where our children can learn, extremists attack her freedom to live safe from gun violence. they have the nerve to tell teachers to strap on a gun in the classroom. while they refuse to pass commonsense gun safety laws. >> joining us now is david hogg, cofounder of march for our lives, leaders we deserve pack, who is a survivor of the shooting at marjory stoneman douglas high school in florida and david, i know with your pacu started raising money for kamala harris on sunday, and had a massive surge, and then the group has decided to endorse a candidate for the first time. tell us about that. >> exactly, so i hope to raise

10:54 pm

$345,000 from over $6000 online. the online support is amazing. people are very excited, and we knew that this was a critical moment in this campaign in march for our lives had never endorsed a candidate before in part because we did not really trust politicians. we often still don't trust many politicians, as you can imagine, given the failures of our political system to protect kids in schools but we have seen kamala harris deliver almost like no other politician before song with -- along with job invited. we passed the first federal gun lock in 30 years after uvalde and renew at this moment with about 100 days out that we needed to supercharge that support. >> the progressive change campaign committee, their poll is finding a massive surge in enthusiasm, including among young voters just rocketing up

10:55 pm

to 78% enthusiasm level. >> absolutely. enthusiasm is surging but i think it is critical at this moment we do everything we can to help vice president kamala harris won come this november. if people would like to join us in that fight they can text pledge to 954954. again, that is pledge to 954954 to help join the efforts of march for our lives, knocking on doors, helping to turn out voters around the country. we are not coordinating directly with the campaign but doing everything we can to help get her elected and one other thing i would like to point out is that there are a lot of great candidates out there right now for vice president, but i think it is really important who we picked to make sure we continue the enthusiasm for youth support which is why i am supporting tim walz, minnesota governor, with an impressive track record and communicator not only as a

10:56 pm

teacher, who certainly understands young people because of his 20+ years of experience, and also as a father but his accomplishments speak for themselves as a great executive with a slim majority in minnesota, he was able to pass a massive number of progressive bills and he has the experience to do it. he was also a member of congress in a tough district and took stances on things like marriage all the way back in 2006 to come out and support it so that is why i personally am supporting tim walz and to be clear, i will still support kamala harris this november even if it is not governor walz, but that is what i would love to see to help supercharge that youth support around the country. >> david hogg, thank you very much for joining us. we will be right back. we will be right back. the hose. inspire? inspire is a sleep apnea treatment that works inside my body with a click of this button. no mask! no hose! just sleep. give me this thing. where are you going? i'm going to get inspire. inspire. sleep apnea innovation.
