Welcome back welcome back to the weekend, everyone. We are following Breaking News out of gaza. The israeli government says hamas terrorists killed six hostages this weekend, adding they were brutally murdered by hamas terrorists shortly before we reached them in a Tunnel Under Rough Appeared one of the victims was american Hersh Goldbergpolin. He was kidnapped more than 330 days ago at the supernova music festival. Vice president Kamala Harris condemned the killing saying, the threat hamas poses to the people of israel and american citizens in israel must be eliminated and hamas cannot control gaza. The palestinian people have suffered under Hamas Rule for nearly 2 decades. In a msnbc forum, correspondent Matt Bradley is in Tel Aviv with the latest. Matt, tell us where we are. Reporter we are about to see a protest that could be one of the biggest we have seen. We dont know exactly because there have been so many huge protests advocating for some sort of deal to release these hostages and these protesters are becoming increasingly outraged. The noises we have been hearing from the families of these remaining hostages, there are about 100 of them, what a few of them are thought to have already died. They are becoming increasingly loud just today. The calls are to shut down the entire country. Even the Haaretz Newspaper says the cost at emilys forum, they are negotiating with Trade Unions trying to do just that, shut down the country. Already, municipalities throughout the country have said they are going to be observing a strike, a work walkout, basically protesting not just against the lack of deal to release these hostages but also against Benjamin Netanyahus government. A lot of these folks believe Benjamin Netanyahu has been deliberately delaying any Hostage Deal in order to keep himself in power and keeping himself in power in order to avoid a Jail Term for corruption charges he faced from several years ago. We are now seeing a lot of politics closing behind an event that happened late Last Night, the murder of these six hostages. The idf said they were killed shortly before they were discovered in a Tunnel Underneath that southern city of rough appeared this vindicates a lot of what these Hostage Families have been saying, that there is no Military Solution to freeing the hostages, because it sounds like, and we dont necessarily have all the details, from what we can piece together, and certainly what these families are interpreting from what the idf has said, these hostages were killed as the idf were bearing down on them. This just goes to show, as far as these families are concerned, and weve been hearing this already, the Military Solution is actually a Death Sentence for the remaining hostages still held in the gaza strip. That is why they are turning against Benjamin Netanyahu, ever since October 7th, has long described as his two main goals. Freeing the hostages and destroyed and hamas. For several months now, really ever since the beginning, those two goals have been seen as countervailing goals. They have been seen as completely opposed to Each Other. Now, with this latest event, these Hostage Families are saying this is proof that these two goals cannot be made together. One must be chosen over the other. Either destroy hamas or rescue the hostages and these people, their Family Members of the hostages, they are very much in the camp of freeing the hostages. Guys. Matt, talk a little bit, if you can, about what led up to the killing of these particular hostages in that tunnel. What have you been able to learn from your reporting . Some of the Background Elements of this that, are they really concerned, was hamas concerned about these hostages being taken back . What was happening in that space while all these other elements that you are talking about, the protests and things, obviously are going to be a big part of this. Before that, though, there had to have been something that moved hamas to do what they did. Do we have any sense of why they killed these hostages . We dont and i wish we did but the only Statement Weve gotten from hamas is to blame Benjamin Netanyahu and Joe Biden for the murder of these hostages. They didnt explain themselves and we are not expecting them to. What we understand from the idf is that, as you remember i believe a couple of days ago, last week, there was a hostage who was rescued alive during a military operation. This is one of the, i believe it was the seventh who was actually rescued alive during a military operation. Very few have been rescued during military operations in the gaza strip. This was one of them. He was found in a tunnel completely unguarded. The idf have said they found the bodies of these six other hostages not so far away from this man who they discovered life. It was as they were walking through the tunnels looking for people, looking for hamas fighters, commandos, that they stumbled upon these six corpses of these hostages. So, it looks as though this was a situation in which these people, this is something the idf have said from the beginning, they were shot immediately before the idf were able to confront their captors and they were abandoned dead in this tunnel, unlike this other man who was found last week abandoned alive. Guys. Msnbcs Matt Bradley, thank you so much, coming to us from Tel Aviv. Joining us now, aaron david miller, turning the endowment for international peace senior fellow and former israeli negotiator. The words become hard to express when you see so much international energy placed into freeing these hostages and just the callous, cruel nature of hamas yet again showing its ugly side and its ugly self. How do you see the u. S. Now escalating its efforts, putting greater pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu to get a ceasefire in place . What are the dynamics that you think come into play now that this horrific event has happened . Good morning, michael, symone, thanks for having me. I think this will accelerate the Administrations Determination to try to move these ceasefire negotiations forward. The past is prologue here. For 11 months, the Decision Making regarding Israel And Gaza has trusted in the hands of two individuals, Yahya Sinwar, who is ensconced in Tunnels Manipulating and willfully, i suspect, given orders. The idf has reported this. If the idf is about to discover hamas fighters or where the hostages are located, that hamas is to kill them. And Benjamin Netanyahu whom the Organizing Premise of his world is to contain himself in power. To do that, he needs 64 seats, which he has, including the Acquiescence And Support of two extremist ministers, that basically saying they are going to bolt the government if he makes any deal. The idf senior leadership got into a Screaming Match with the Prime Minister at a Cabinet Meeting last week and said you have a choice, reading the hostages or stay in the philadelphi corridor. The administration is in a strategic culdesac. We saw the president and a statement, he said we need a ceasefire now. Kamala harris, i know she didnt intend this. She issued a tough condemnation of hamas but she also, essentially, validated the Prime Ministers own narrative by saying that hamas cannot govern gaza, which trips into the issue of his conception, false and impossible conception of total victory. I think the of menstruation, frankly, 70 days before one of the most consequential elections in modern american history, is more or less constrained. Even if we werent facing a really important election, the reality is how do you respond to the willful execution of six innocent civilians, one of whom is an american by somehow upping the pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu . I dont think it computes politically. I think the administration has decided to let the israelis, the public, the Defense Establishment do the walking and the talking on this, at least for now. You laid out the stakes and a lot of the various dynamics here. For folks that may not, because i think people are watching this unfold. For months now, they have been hearing about israel, hamas, the gaza strip. In the last week and a half, weve had an intense focus on the west bank, given what has been happening there. Tomorrow, the president and Vice President will be campaigning together in pennsylvania, in pittsburgh, and the focus will be Union Workers and Election Day going forward and talking about i think the economy and working people. That is what they would like the focus to be but i have to imagine every single reporter with them will be asking about the negotiations of a Cease Fire Deal will be asking if the president is going to speak to pay minister Benjamin Netanyahu anytime soon, if he hasnt already by the time he gets to pittsburgh, will be asking what the administration is going to do and how that will affect this election but also the entirety of the very fragility of The Middle East at this point. They are in an impossible position. They still have to govern and lead while campaigning. Look, just the sad reality and the past is prologue. Negotiations, in my experience, only close. That is also true. If the Two Of Us were negotiating over something important, when there is a sense of urgency. Only when the parties who have the power to close in negotiation, in this case, it is Yahya Sinwar and Benjamin Netanyahu, who apparently is reeling alone with almost no opposition. We will see of the demonstrations on the street can change that. Both of these individuals have concluded that time is on their side, that not doing a deal serves their respective interest. The problem is that time is their ally. It is a cruel adversary for the hostages, for the Hostage Families, for the hundreds of thousands of gazans who have been displaced one, two, three, four, five times. That is the key problem. The external power, in this case of the united states, seems to me to be hamstrung. Yes, on paper there were all sorts of things the administration could have done over the last 11 months. Restrict or condition u. S. Military assistance, introduce a un Security Counsel Resolution very critical of israel, or abandon negotiations at all for good and simply endorse the international communitys call for an immediate cessation of hostilities. The administration, for any number of reasons, including the President S persona and politics and the policy, has been reluctant to do that. I find it extremely difficult in these waning days before the election that this administration is somehow going to sanction or impose real cost and pressures that you, Symone And Michael and i would agree would be sustainable, significant pressure. I just dont see it. It remains in the hands of Yahya Sinwar and Benjamin Netanyahu. Lets see if the next 48 hours or so will changed to any degree Benjamin Netanyahus correlations.

Back with us, msnbc political contributor, eugene daniels. We are also joined by eugene vindman, former national Security Director of European Affairs and Senior Advisor to vote vets, the democratic nominee for congress in some virginians the seventh congressional district. Morning to you both. Colonel eugene vindman, im sure, pardon me, or just joint, we are just joined by eugene. Thats all right. The show can. I was looking in the camera like you know what, let me just address the elephant in the room. Michael has been on vacation and that is vacation you know it, the prompter is not big enough. I blame the prompter, not michael steele. It couldnt be the chairman. 65 days away from election. I agree. It is the prompter, its not you. 65 days away from Election Day, all the things that happened. There is this other ad that was percolating online, i think we should play because a lot of people, people who are not on the twitter were sending this to me in my Group Chat and i was like okay. This is the one about project 2025 and, from the lincoln project, and abortion. I want to play the ad for you all because it was very interesting. Abigail, right . How do you know question are you about eight weeks pregnant . You have been spotting recently. Have you had any cramps or nausea . Thats personal. Have you been taking your Prenatal Vitamins . It is me questioning you are navigation is set to a womens Health Clinic in one of the abortion states. We have the right to travel. Not anymore. You sir are under arrest for Crossing State Lines to obtain an abortion for a minor under your care. You, young lady, well, you are under arrest for invading motherhood. Do you think that adam resonate . Anything, any ad that ties Donald Trump to the situation we have in this country when it comes to Abortion Access, reproductive access, any ad that ties him to project 2025 probably does work and it doesnt just work with democrats and liberals, it works with people that are in the Middle Of The Road because a lot of the stuff is out of touch with the way The American people view policy in the way they want this country to run. Something i found interesting is i have, you know, when we go out and talk to the people of the country, not just operatives and people who have done this job for a while. Regular folk. Our cousins and of them, think, what we hear, they bring up hundred 2025 to me. I dont have to talk about it. They bring up project 2025. They dont always know what is in it but they know it is something they feel worried about and i think that is because Vice President harris has been talking about it and now the campaign has lumped onto it and now the can project. Did you see the ad for black women, by any chance . I was just curious, did you get a chance to see the trump at ft. Black women . Can we do, im going to do them all because im just back from vacation. They are going to pull that up for us. So, we have, we saw from the Trump Campaign, we talked about it at the beginning of the hour, the Menthol Cigarettes because that is what black people smoke, gas, that is what we are known for. Then we had the gold shoes and then we have the, we have this. I support President Trump into the economic policies our country experienced under his leadership as our 45th president. President trump will support our Law Enforcement agencies and fund them appropriately. Trump puts americans first and always will. We need Donald Trump. I and millions of other black americans will cast my vote for Donald J Trump. I will proudly cast my vote for Donald J Trump as our next president. Lets make america great again. There are some people that are going to vote for Donald Trump. There are. That is the process, how it plays out. I think, for me, it is so ham handed. It is so pretentious, it is coming you know, its not the real substance and the meat of, okay, this is why. These are the things that he has done or he will do. That is not a Debate Trump is wanting to have right now, which is, for me, begs the question what happens on September 10th when he standing across the stage from a prosecutor who is prepared to prosecute his behind on issues and is going to want to say, well, i have done the most since Abraham Lincoln. Actually more than Abraham Lincoln for black folks. To symones point, we know theres going to be diversification of the vote. As someone who is in the Campaign Space writing about the stories that are evolving around the country, with you see when you see what is happening on the ground versus these types of ads that are put out there . The interesting thing about what the Trump Campaign and how republicans are doing, republicans dont typically try to get black people to vote for them. They dont spend money and make as to do so. I think what you are saying is theres not a lot of new ones in the way they are doing it. You are talking about, they hear that the black people at Menthol Cigarettes, we get an ad for mental cigarettes. They wanted to get black women, they put and im not with her with the and have some black women streaked the camera stating they are going to vote for him. Even a black woman in a head wrap. Apparently that is what we look like. What they are trying to do is find ways to get out black voters but you have to do that with policies. Black voters and democrats have found this out over and over again in every primary, are quite practical and they want to hear what you are going to do, what are the policies you are going to bring. You cant just bring out the shoes or the Menthol Cigarettes. They want to hear about the same things white voters want to hear about, the economy, what you are going to do for their kids in schools, how are you going to make their Housing And Rental prices go down . This kind of things. They are not there yet. The trump folks werent there yet. When i talked to, again, regular people, its not resonating with everyone. There are some people who send its interesting they are talking about like voters. They are not studying why they are voting for Donald Trump. If you are going to convince someone, like your regular black voter, the black voter in the at has to say why. There will be a special coming out in october about black women and the road to 2024. The nuance of the issues is really important. What we heard from black women all across the country, even in the suburbs. The lord. We are in the suburbs . Not just urban areas. Rural america as well. How did we do that . How did we do that . Eugene daniels, thank you so much, my friend, for being here.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, Vice PresidentKamala Harris will make a pitch to voters in two key swing states, michigan and pennsylvania. The focus on the bidet is laying out her plan to strengthen the middle class. President biden will join his vp at a Campaign Event in pittsburgh after she makes a stop in detroit. Harris plans to meet with Labor Leaders outlining her agenda to put more americans to work and higher paid jobs and also to paint a clear contrast against Donald Trumps economic plan. Joining us to discuss is of the democratic senator of michigan, Senator Debbie Stabenow. Before we get into the politics of the President S visit, we wanted to get your thoughts, if we could, on the killing of six hostages, including one american by hamas. The president has issued a statement condemning the act, as has the Vice President. What are your thoughts at this moment, given these events . Michael, first, it is great To Be With You and symone. I appreciate your show. It is horrible. The whole thing is horrible. And it just reaffirms that hamas are barbarians and it affirms that we need to stop this war. There are too many innocent people, whether it is israelis, israeli hostages, palestinian innocent citizens. It all needs to stop. That is, my heart goes out to everyone who is part of losing those six hostages. This whole thing needs to stop. Senator, obviously michigan is on the mind of both the trump and Harris Campaign. When you talk about the issue of The Middle East, specifically what is happening, this war between Israel Hamas and the effects on the israeli people and the palestinian people living in the gaza strip, michigan comes up in that conversation. I know tomorrow the focus will be Labor Leaders and american workers and the economy. I have to imagine this is also a potential topic that the Vice President will hear about while she is in the state. Certainly this is something that is on the hearts and minds of everybody in michigan. I am certain, as she has already, she will be open to listening and having conversations and speaking out. Tomorrow will be very exciting. We have had President S and president ial candidates coming to the Labor Day Parade in detroit. Dennis kennedy announced his run for president in 1960 and then detroit Labor Day Parade. This is something we have a lot of Pride And History in. I believe with the organizing that is going on in Michigan And Detroit for decades and decades that we created the middle class by creating the Union Movement and people are very excited about her coming tomorrow. Senator, symone raised the impact and the focus of workers and jobs and opportunity. The other big issue that i know will resonate, and is resonating, particularly with younger voters out there, is housing, is renting, being able to rent a place to stay, to sleep at night. You have a new and out by the harris walz campaign. For most of my childhood, we were renters. My mother saved for well over a decade to buy a home. I was a teenager when that day finally came and i can remember so well have excited she was. I know what homeownership means. Sadly right now, it is out of reach for far too many american families. I know what homeownership means. Tell us your thoughts on the impact of this messaging, particularly for young voters in michigan. Michael, from my perspective, because i hear about housing all the time, whether it is young people trying to buy their first Home Or Somebody trying to get that Down Payment so they can finally get into a home or safe place for their children, this has been an issue that, in my mind, has not been focused on enough. I love the fact that our Vice President is lifting it up. I also love the fact she is going to be in detroit, where our mayor, mike duggan, and then detroit community, public and private sector, put together the 25,000 wasnt down Payment Program for people in detroit to be able to get into a home. We know that so many people, they can afford their rent every month. It is just saving up that extra money to get the Down Payment. We are excited in detroit that she has lifted up a very successful Detroit Program to make a part of her platform. Senator Debbie Stabenow of michigan, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the tragic events in The Middle East and giving us a preview of what is coming to your great state with the Harris Campaign tomorrow. Thank you so much. I had, the Harris Campaign is taking the reproductive Rights Battle to trumps backyard. Florida congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz joins us next to discuss her role in that battle. This is the weekend. The harris the Harris Campaign is launching a 50 state reproductive Freedom Bus Tour this weekend the first stop it right in Donald Trumps backyard, palm beach, florida. Florida is one of the latest republican states to enact a six week abortion ban, which Donald Trump first criticized as to stuart, but then he reversed himself by coming out against the Ballot Measure that would have protected and enshrined Abortion Access in the state after a lot of consternation from folks. We want to now go to, i believe we have some live photos right now. This is Breaking News. These are live photos of protests happening in jerusalem. These protests come after six hostages were found dead after being killed by hamas. We are just going to listen in for just a moment. It is around it is around 4 40 p. M. In jerusalem. These protests are taking place in the aftermath of six hostages being found dead after being killed by hamas. Their bodies were recovered by israeli defense forces late Last Night, eastern standard time. Matt bradley told us these protests were planned to take place. We want to bring in democratic congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She will take part in the west were we just discussed. Congresswoman, given the news we just some of the first images of protests happening in jerusalem right now, your reaction to the Breaking News overnight. One Israeli American was recovered of the six hostages. A young man, his parents were at the dnc. Your thoughts. Hersh goldbergpolin is The American who was recovered along with five other hostages, their bodies recovered, killed by hamas in the gaza strip. Symone and michael, thank you for starting the. Im sorry. Ive had a chance to get to know rachel and john and met with them in israel and the united states numerous times and countless other Hostage Families. This news is incredibly devastating. It is important to know at least 40 americans were killed on October 7th by hamas, brutally murdered, along with the other 1200 that were slaughtered that day. 250 taken hostage. Now, likely less than 100 that are still living. This is devastating news. I will tell you that, as a jewish mother of three beautiful young people in their 20s, it is a Gut Punch to see these five of the six who were in their 20s, in the prime of their lives and a young law, 39 years old ripped from their families. I am thankful that we have a president and Vice President who made a very clear where the blame lies. This is something that lays right at the feet of the terrorist organization hamas. Vice president harris said that very clearly in her statement Last Night. The Ceasefire Deal that brings the hostages home, that ends the Terrorist Threat to israel has to be brought for a landing. By the way, there was Breaking News just before i came on that palestinian terrorists killed three israeli policeman this morning. So, their slaughter continues and it must come to an end. To the point, congresswoman, thank you for sharing your personal connection to these went to this particular family but to this tragedy overall, you find yourself straddling two different difficult positions, someone who is close to a Family Member who has been killed here but also having the responsibilities as a member of the united States Congress and looking at the broader arc of these events and what they mean. Could you give us some sense of Door Assessment of the insights maybe the administration has to take into consideration in pressing for a ceasefire, leveling up their pressure to president Benjamin Netanyahu, to make it clear to him not another hostage can die on his watch or the biden administrations watch . How do you see those storylines forming given the horrific acts and the Breaking News of yet more individuals killed by hamas . I would note, congresswoman, we got Word Hersh GoldbergPolins Funeral will take Place Tomorrow in jerusalem. We bury our dead very quickly. So, that is not a surprise to me. Hamas needs to take video and has had deals offered on the table numerous times, negotiated by egypt and the united states and arab allies around the region numerous times. They keep moving the goal posts. Frankly Benjamin Netanyahu has done that as well. These negotiations are very delicate. What is clear to me is that we have to make sure that there is a deal brought in for a landing and there are concessions made from both parties. Benjamin netanyahu as well as hamas, that ensures that there is the Safety And Security not only of israelis but the palestinian people living in gaza are also free from hamas. As the Vice President said very clearly in her statement Last Night. Palestinians living in gaza have also been victims of hamas for decades. I want to, you know, it is tough to pivot sometimes in these conversations because you do have all these other political events that are happening here at home as well, with a very important president ial election coming up and the role that we all got to play in that as citizens. Youve got, how does this factor in, do you think, for The American people as they are looking toward the man or the woman who will lead this country to continue to pursue peace, both in The Middle East as well as in ukraine . How do you assess these two president ial candidates at this moment as they deal with all the other noises of campaigns, you know, the ads and all that stuff. This is a somber, sobering reminder of the hard work of being president and how much we must value their leadership at a time like this. That is such a good way to put the question, michael. Thank you. Iss the choice that americans have right in front of us as the choice between serious and sincere and unserious and insincere. You can see that it is a quarter to 10 00 on the East Coast right now. How is it possible Donald Trump hasnt issued a statement about the deaths of not just the six hostages that, whose bodies were recovered, but Hersh Goldbergpolin is an american israeli hostage . Deafening silence. If he cared that much, you would think 11 00 Last Night on the East Coast was time enough. I tweeted out a statement. The Vice President and the president did. His callous indifference and making everything political, including using israel as a political wedge and a political football to advance his own critical interest is just gross and unacceptable and we need a president like Vice President harris will be and President Biden has been who has been able to pivot and be able to balance the varying complexities that a president has thrown at him. Also someone with Heart And Depth of sentiment to be able to manage balancing the Logic And Calculus for Making Decisions and also using the heart and empathy, which is lacking in Donald Trump. You can see that as we embark on this Bus Tour in Florida And Travel over 50 states. Reproductive Freedom And Autonomy over our own bodies, continuing to make sure women dont have that one away is essential and making sure we take that on the road across the country and as im sure Vice President harris and Governor Walz will bring that into sharp relief. Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of florida, thank you for your time this winning. Is more ahead on the weekend, we will be right back. Ll revolutionize coverage of live events. This is how business goes further with tmobile for business. We are we are sitting here talking about mary having a little lamb. It strikes me, you know, the front, the last two hours have been consumed by the horrific actions of the inhumanity of man against others. We are in the middle of a president ial campaign in which there are aspects of how we treat Each Other and how we view Each Other and how we talk about Each Other by into these narratives here at home. This is what i was trying to get at with a number of the members of congress and the senate who have been on this morning. Where do we go as citizens in looking at these situations . We were talking about some of the experience you had in talking about these issues and people throwing out stuff that is a line and untruthful. Hamas, talking about yes, well, we are not massacring, masquerading as protectors of people and all of this other stuff. You guys are pretending but you are really killing these hostages, we are not doing the killing. Even when we talk about, when you talk about protesters, people who are, have been out there protesting, most notably a lot on the College Campuses before summer came, for the rights of palestinian people and folks are like the hamas supporters. Hold on, we have to be really specific about how we talk about things. People are talking about the rights, there are the rights of the palestinian people and there are hamas. They are not the same thing. I juxtapose that and put that in the same bucket when we have this conversation about reproductive rights and women being able to make decisions with their families or just them and their doctor. I literally was on, i was on meet the press this weekend we were talking about this issue and one of the guests who was on, who was a republican operatives that democrats are killing babies in the ninth month and i like that is not happening. That is not happening. It is not, it is not. Donald trump has said it multiple times. It is not just a talking point. Maybe they believe it. This is actually not happening. It is so disingenuous and it is dangerous. If someone is having an abortion in the eighth or ninth month, if their pregnancy is being terminated, it is due to and viable fetus with a literal life of the mother. The idea is to conflate these things. I am aware of that conversation. When you conflate the life of the mother, the choice of the mother, the life of the child, all of those things that go into a pregnancy with the price of gas . Im sorry, they are not the same thing. Thats going low. Youre not going to help support. Or mary did not have a little lamb because the Pregnancy Isnt viable so im going to die and so is the lamb. That is going to do it for us.
