For four straight years i fought for american workers like i would fight for my own family. I took care of our economy like i would take care of my own company. Yeah, yeah, you did. You did, donald, run economies run america's economy into the ground just like you did your businesses which filed for bankruptcy a total of six times, and also your failing weird truth social thing. Which is like down 70% this year. And oh, wait until you hear trump's world salad plan to make child care more affordable. Also tonight, judge tanya chutkan shuts down the effort by trump's lawyers to put a halt to the election interference case until after the november election. And late today, the judge released a new calendar in the case. Plus, the right's dishonest claims about communities being overrun by migrant crime. And how fox and elon musk are helping trump to amplify those lies. But we begin tonight with russia still listening and still interfeing in our elections. That is what we learned when the justice department announced indictments and sanctions wednesday in a scheme that sounds straight out of 2016. The doj charged two russian media executives in an alleged plot to illegally funnel millions of dollars to rightwing influencers by way of a protrump media outlet. Specifically, the department charged two employees of russian backed media company rt with nearly with a nearly $10 million plan to fund an unnamed tennessee content creation company as one of their covert projects to influence american politics. The company's description matches that of tennessee based tenet media, according to a review by nbc news of details included in the indictment. In a related but separate legal action, prosecutors seized 32 russian controlled web domains tied to a broader russian influence campaign accused of spreading propaganda through bogus news sites to american voters. An affidavit supporting seizing the domains shows information detailing a series of topics, russian actors wanted amplified in the influencers' content, things like encroaching universal poverty, record inflation, the halting of economic growth, unaffordable prices for food and essential goods, risk of job loss for white americans. Privileges for people of color, perverts, and the disabled. Constant lies of the u. S. Political party administration about the real situation in the country. Threat of crime coming from people of color and immigrants, including new immigrants from ukraine. Overspending on foreign policy and at the expense of the interests of white u. S. Citizens. Constant lies to the voters by u. S. Political party b in power and last but not least, america is suffering in defeat despite candidate b's efforts, we're being drawn into the war. Our guys will die in ukraine. Now, if that also sounds like a list of protump rightwing talking points or frankly your average day on fox, it essentially is. But it also highlights how russia launders its propaganda into the american psyche, especially through the use of social media, which is why tenet media came in handy. The indictment notes company one, which describes itself as a network of commentators that focus on western political and cultural issues, the exact same language used by tenet media on its website and social media channels and identifies six commentators as its talent. The indictment doesn't name them but tenet media has six rightwing youtube commentators on its roster. Tim pool, benny johnson, dave rubin, taylor hanson, laurn southern, and matt christiansen. And you will be forgiven if you're asking yourself, who? just know that some of them are prominent magalebrities, they deny involvements in posts on elon musk's twitter. Tim pool says he and others were deceived and victims. Dave rubin claims he knew nothing about this. They suggest the unnamed commentators were unaware they were being paid by russian efforts, but a look into the presence of some of these creators' content shows what russia was looking for. What else is going on with ukraine these days? it's not just that we're funding the war. Everyone knows we're funding the war, if you're paying for the war, maybe that means you're in the war, but we have never gotten authorization for this war. Our leaders keep telling us this is the most important thing in town. This is psychotic, ukraine is the enemy of this country. Ukraine is our enemy, being funded by the democrats. I will stress again, one of the greatest enemies of our nation right now is ukraine. Ukraine is the greatest threat to this nation and to the world. We should rescind all funding and financing, pull out all military support and apologize to russia. Apologize to russia. Of course, it's not like russia had to pay everyone since we know there are elected officials willing to push the kremlin line for free. Vladimir putin has not said he wants to go march across europe and take europe. And the reality is, ukraine is not even a nato member nation. But if you want to know something, lloyd austin and the others here, more than anything, want to send your uncles, your cousins, and your sons and daughters to the front lines in ukraine. I will not vote for one more dollar to ukraine. I will not vote for one more piece of materiale to ukraine. We're far too entankaled in this conflict. I believe we have extended this conflict. What's in america's best interest to accept ukraine is going to have to cede some territory to the russians and we need to bring this war to a close. You know, i know you might have been surprised not to see former fox host tucker carlson in there, but he does make an appearance in the justice department's indictment, just not by name. The indictment reveals that one of the indicted rt employees shared a video of a well known u. S. Political commentator visiting a grocery store in russia, a likely reference to tucker's shopping trip when he marvels at how much better it was shopping there then at home ahead of the interview where he did but literally sit in vladimir putin's lap and hug him like santa claus. Later, a producer emailed the founder saying they want me to post it, it feels like overschilling. The two founderoffs the media company are also unnamed but tenet media is registered to two people named liam donovan and lauren chen. Chen was fired from her job as a commentator for right wing blaze media. She had contributed to videos to its blaze tv. It seems the reality of it all is you hear these narratives, ukraine is our true enemy, or the economy is doing so terribly, it's in ruin, inspied of ample evidence to the contrary. How the white man is falling behind because the government is giving preferential treatment to blacks and brown people. Remember the twin boogiemen of dei and critical race theory? you hear these things and think these are right wingers being the miserable wretches they always are, when it turns out they might also be getting cash apps from mother russia to say it. It's not like some genius idea. The russians are just banking on the things right wingers are already hopped up on to scare white voters to vote for the candidate vladimir putin wants to win, and no surprise, his preferred candidate is this guy. Russia, you had a relationship with them and north korea. But nobody was tougher with russia than me. Joining me now is david corn, washington bureau chief for mother jones, and anand gear dawes, thank you for being here. David, i will start with you. It is sort of remarkable to see the complete capture of the u. S. Republican party by prorussian interests. So this group that is now indicted, it's not like they had to work hard. The right has already been precaptured to the russian side. What do you make of this indictment and what it has revealed? you know, we have to look at this a little bit in historical context. This isn't coming out of nowhere. This is now the third election in a row that the russians have tried to intervene to help donald trump. They did it in 2016. And donald trump said it wasn't happening. He lied. He aided and abetted the attack. And the whole republican party, most of it, and the conservative movement ended up agreeing with him because they didn't want to be caught cross swords with him on this point. Right there, he led them into this russian denialism. In 2020, we kind of forget about this because trump didn't win, but ukrainian officials who were tied to russian intelligence according to who, according to trump's own treasury department, were putting out disinformation about joe biden and hunter biden. It didn't work, but it made the election close. And the right wing was amplifying this stuff, rudy giuliani and others, fox news, over and over again. So the russians have a pretty clear idea about how to play this. It's nothing new for them. They have had years of experience. And here they are out there with these rightwing commentators, also with these websites that are out there ginning up right wingers to push these talking points as we get closer to the election. It's going on, and the right has just refused to acknowledge this. And for some, it's very profitable to not acknowledge it. Yeah, and that's where i want to come to you. You have tangled with some of these folks who were annoyed you were criticizing the billionaire class. To me, getting at these people, who are a lot of people watching this show don't know who tim pool and those people are, and that is because they're trying to capture a younger demographic. They're taking that russian capture and marketing it down to younger and younger receivers of information. Yeah, we have a post up at the ink tonight trying to look at this indictment in a larger light. And i would say a couple things. First, there are oo lot of things country can do to each other, particularly when they're powerful countries like russia. Binders full of choices available to vladimir putin. You can take out power grids. You can do stuff on banking systems. You can bomb things. You can do assassinations. The whole slew of things. I think first we have to think about the fact that in these three elections as david has talked about, basically the era we have lived in the last decade plus, the russian weapon of choice to sabotage the united states of america and push it into democratic decay is the inflammation of our discourse. I think that's really significant. Like, i don't think these operations necessarily have tilted elections or have that enormous an effect. We are we have our own problems in this country that we don't need russian help to create, but it is their judgment of our achilles heel that is so revealing here. And when you look at some of these people, these very inflammatory people who they have been funding, it makes you realize, like, regular people at home, you're being manipulated to hate your neighbor more than you otherwise would. You are being manipulated to feel like everything is hopeless. You are being manipulated into these positions. And in 2016, by the way, they did this to the left and the right. It was all over the place. And i think it actually fills me with a certain kind of hope that maybe this country is not as, you know, gone in terms of toxicity and the way we see each other and relate to each other as we perceive ourselves to be when we go online, when we go on youtube, when we go on x. Maybe a certain amount of what has happened to us is this, you know, forced inflammation from the outside because it is their judgment that that, that way we relate to each other, that way we see each other, the way we talk to each other will bring us down. They're very particular, david, in believing that race is one of those fault lines they can really manipulate the most. They did this in 2016. We were both talking about this for the last three elections. Let me read from the mueller report a little bit. Ira facebook groups, active during the 2016 campaign, covered a range of political issues and included purported conservative groups with named such as being patriotic, stop all immigrants, secured borders, and tea party news, purported black social justice groups, black matters, and don't shoot us, lgbtq groups, and religious groups, united muslims of america, they tried to find these fault lines that already exist in american society and try to push them, hoping that will elect republicans. Well, we know they have been doing this throughout the cold war, too, looking at racial relations in the united states. In the last few years they have kind of moved internally to whip it up for us so there's more hate among americans. If you look at some of the attachments, you quoted some in the opening here, into the affidavit of this operation, called doppleganger on the russian side, it's pretty stunning. They have a whole project about making mexico seem a threat because if mexico is seen as a threat to americans, that's going to help donald trump. So they're very savvy. I don't think it takes a lot to be this savvy here. And the sad thing is that the conservatives and the right wingers and republicans just play into this. It didn't have to be that way. In 2016, mitch mcconnell and other republicans could have joined the obama administration and said stay out of our elections, but they said no. And here we are today. And anand, there is on the other side, there is the pure capitalism of that, tim pool and these people saying, gosh, we didn't know we were getting russian money, the idea they're enriching these content creators and then getting them to say from their chest russian talking points, i guess it's a good gig if you can get it and you can look yourself in the mirror after. Here's the thing, if we're being honest with ourselves. They're paying some people who fit this kind of inflammatory burn it all down mode and they're finding some of them and paying them and getting their money's worth maybe, but the reality is, there is a large number of people speaking to this country in various forms who are behaving in similar ways, who maybe are not being paid, maybe are and we don't know yet. But this is in some ways this kind of inflammatory burn it all down, this pitch of i'm the truth teller and only i will tell you the truth, and everybody they are lying to you, all this kind of, this whole thing, it's a vibe that is quite widespread beyond a handful of people, and i think for people watching this who are not responsible for bringing in indictments, i think it's important to think about how what we consume, what we read, because a lot of people are attracted to this stuff. A lot of people watch this kind of youtube video, they love this kind of youtube video. A lot of people will say, you know, the new york times is on some agenda, when the new york times makes mistakes but it is pretty rigorously reported most of the time. There's a kind of pose that has become quite common in our culture, that you're only getting the truth from this renegade stuff, and this is also a moment to look again at that because i'm not sure that inflammation is the best form of media. Yeah, excellent point. Yeah. Pay attention to where you're getting your information instead of trying to sound smart because you're off the mainstream talking points. David and anand, thank you both very much. Coming up, the trump/vance campaign continues to be an absolute mess. Trump ranting and raving and jd vance once again unable to answer simple questions.

(♪♪) last night, donald trump participated in a fox pseudotown hall moderated by sean hannity. As philip bump points out, these town halls are really just trump rally with branding. They don't generate anything new or news worthy. They're home to some of the most sycophantic exchanges in television. This is a very tough interview. Let me ask you more personal question. Because you paid a very big price for getting into the political arena. Never mind opportunity costs you would have had, you had a successful business. Correct me if i'm wrong, you're a better business man than i am. If six bankruptcies are successful, sean. Curiously, yesterday demonstrated one of trump's driving mos. Projection, projection, projection. Here he is supposedly talking about kamala harris. She doesn't want to do interviews. Can you imagine her doing an interview like this or like any of them? okay, grandpa, that's rich coming from someone who will only talk to friendly fox hosts and right wing youtubers. He had more projection talking about someone rambling. This is a woman who is dangerous. I don't think too smart, but let's see. But she loses her train of thought a lot. Oh, does she now? do i even need to fact check that inhe knows when he speaks cameras are recording him, right? this is the same interview where he seemed to forget who he was running against and how about concerns on jd vance for being weird are sticking. Here he is talking uttim walz. Something weird with that guy. He's a weird guy. Jd is not weird. He's a solid rock. I happen to be a very solid rock. We're not weird. We're other things perhaps but we're not weird. I am rubber, you are glu. I dance like this, my vp is weird, yours is weird. It's elementary stuff from the oldest campaign in history. An emale warning them not to leak information to the media, an email that was quickly leaked to the media. Joining me is tara setmayer, former republican communications director, and juanita tolliver, msnbc political analyst, and author of the forthcoming book, a more perfect party, the night shirley chisholm and diahann carroll reshaped politics. I know about this book, and i'm obsessed. I cannot wait to read it. But i'm going to start with you first. Because what was that last night? i mean, i don't understand it as a town hall. And does it not raise, again, the question of donald trump's cognitive impairment? at certain points he seemed to think he's still running against joe biden. 100%, he's wishing he was still running against joe biden, and that's why i think it keeps coming up, joy. The reality is, i think this was a dry run for the debate stage next tuesday. How many lies can you tell within 90 minutes? how much support can you garner from playing on people's fears, and how does that play to his base exclusively? those were the three things he was testing out. I think it gave his psyche a boost to be able to tell those lies, of course, with no fact checking. I don't think anybody at that network would be capable of doing that or willing to do it. I think this literally is what we can expect to see next tuesday. The lies were just so outrageous, though, when he was talking about immigration or the economy, and one line, he went so far as to say if vice president harris is elected president, she'll lead to the great depression. I'm like, huh, this is the same vice president for the administration that literally rebuilt the economy that you ran into the ground. Okay, sir. So he seems to have no connection to reality right now. But he's using this to boost his ego and practice for the debate to see how many lies he can spew in record time. I hope this isn't practice for the debate, tara. If this is how it's going to go, lordy, lordy. Jesus take the wheel. Let me play donald trump answering what should be an easy question. Because they're the forced birth party, they're saying we're the child care party. Here's donald trump trying to answer that question. If you win in november, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable, and if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance? child care is child care, you know, there's something you have to have it in this country you have to have it. When you talk utthose numbers compared to the kind of numbers i'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to but they'll get used to it quickly, those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers i want to talk about. Those numbers are small relative to the economic numbers i'm talking about, including growth. Yeah. Tara, i don't know if anybody can see this. My producers printed out what he said. We didn't even play the whole thing. This is how long the paragraph is, and i think it's maybe one sentence. What was that? what happened? well, that's a con artist trying to con. He doesabouts know what he's talking about and it's coming from a guy who didn't raise his own kids and has no idea what child care means. He was trying to bs, which is what he always does when he doesn't know, because he doesn't know a lot of things. I think we're going to see a lot of this on display because the debate on tuesday, he's actually going to be crossexamined for the first time in front of the american people in a way that he never has before. And that's going to be by kamala harris. And this is just another example of donald trump trying to gaslight the american people into believing he'll say and do whatever to get elected. It's the same thing when it comes to women's reproductive freedom. It's the same thing with the project 2025 agenda, extremist agenda against women and reproductive rights, and ivf, the seneca project, we have a big ad coming out tomorrow about ivf and girl dads and what they want to do to families in this country. And donald trump can run around and try and confuse the american people about his stance, but we all know he's a lying liar who lies. He's lying about women will be great under my administration. Really? this is a guy who insults women, who is an adjudicated rapist. He's got a misogynist on his ticket in jd vance, who has significant mommy issues. Who seems to think these are the two people we want in charge of our country. One has daddy issues, the other has mommy issues can the rest of us are going to pay the price for it, and american women are starting to see through it, that's why kamala harris has a gender gap that is really significant, and i think it will make a difference in this election. You brought forth jd vance. Let's hear him trying to answer the same question, how do you pay for child care? go, james david, go. One of the ways you might be able to relieve a little pressure on people who are paying so much for day care is make it so maybe grandma or grandpa wants to help out more, or maybe there's an aunt or uncle who wants to help out. If that happens, you relieve some of the pressure on the resources we're spending on day care. Juanita, this is the guy who previously said on a podcast that his indian motherinlaw because she's a post menopausal female, thas what post menopausal women, the podcaster said that and he agreed with it, then the guy said that's why you have the benefits of having an indian motherinlaw. He's essentially saying the answer is indentured serveitude for post menopausal women. It sounds like he wakes up every single day and says how many women can i piss off today. Today it was older women. Before it was women who have cats, women who don't have children, young women he's trying to force into birth when they don't want it. It's just showing that neither he nor donald trump have any understanding of the very real needs that people are experiencing when they pay thousands of dollars every month, and it shows that they are not considering any substantive solutions. Right? so every time they say project 2025, point to these clips because they have nothing to offer the people. I also wonder if he's and teachers. Don't forget, he insulted teachers too. Teachers that don't have children, because jd vance and donald trump and the maga extremists think that women are second class citizens and our only purpose on this earth is to have children. I hear you. It also makes me wonder if he's ever met his own kids because he keeps being like my motherinlaw raised him, my wife does a good job raising him, and the women interacting with these kids. Call us, jd vance's kids, we need to get dad needs to spend time with you. Tara and juanita spend times with your kids, james david. Coming up next, donald trump's legal team was back in court today for the first hearing in his federal election interference case since the supreme court made its immunity ruling. Today, judge chutkan released the schedule for the case going forward, which allows smith to release new evidence that the public has not yet seen. Possibly before the election. We'll be right back.

C. Judge tanya chutkan held a hearing in donald trump's federal election interference case to determine how and when this case moves forward. As you may remember, it had to be put on hold as the supreme court took its time to decide whether trump could claim presidential immunity in his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Tonight, judge chutkan has released a new schedule that sided with special counsel jack smith's proposal. The starts off with the special counsel filing a detailed evidentiary brief by september 26th making his arguments over what should and should not be considered immune. It will allow smith to release new evidence that the public has not seen. Such as grand jury transcripts, trump's team will then have their chance to respond followed by smith's reply by october 29th. Meaning that all of the briefs will be done before november's election. That is exactly what trump's lawyers wanted to avoid. Arguing this morning that any such briefing should be delayed until far after november's election. They instead proposed focusing on frivolous motions to dismiss the case, like making the claim that special counsel jack smith was illegitimately appointed. Their hope was to repeat the results of trump's classified documents case, which was dismissed by trump appointed judge aileen cannon. As they tried to do in the past, trump's lawyers made the argument that his candidacy in november's election should be a factor in any decision about the schedule. To that, judge chutkan responded, quote, it strikes me that what you're trying to do is affect the presentation of evidence in this case so as not to impinge on an election. And i'm not considering that. That's not going to be a factor i consider at all in my decision. Joining me now is catherine christian, former manhattan assistant district attorney and msnbc legal analyst. That's pretty definitive. She said i don't care about the election. Judge chutkan doesn't play. She's the role model for judges who know how to run their courtroom and don't take mess from their attorneys. She made it clear where she stands. He's a criminal defendant like any other defendant. It's very tantalizing to think we may actually see what amounts to a mini trial before the election. What are the chances that doesn't get kicked up to an appeals court and john roberts snuffs it out by saying donald trump is king. It may not be a mini trial, but the briefing may include grand jury minutes, witness statements and a whole bunch of factual evidence that the public may or may not see because the judge can say i'm going to seal that from the public. If she doesn't, the public will read the facts, the allegations that the special counsel has. Now, when she finally makes a decision, whether or not the new indictment, you know, passes muster with the supreme court decision, which she probably will, then trump will appeal that to the district circuit court of appeals and then seek cert in the supreme court. That will take long and drag out. She basically said that. Let's go through the strange things that happened. Trump's attorney claimed he was directed by justice clarence thomas's concurrence to file a dismission motion over special counsel jack smith's appoint. He said what i'm saying is the court should consider this issue and justice thomas in effect directed us to raise the issue and suggested that we do it immediately in light of his view in that concurrence. Judge chutkan said he directed you to do this? john lauro, i shouldn't say absolutely said do it, but when you read that opinion, it absolutely is clear that that's something we have to do to preserve the issue. Judge chutkan, well i certainly don't read the opinion that way. Basically he's saying since judge justice thomas said this guy ain't properly appointed and judge cannon our friend said it's true, we have to have that here? it shows you the difference between judge chutkan and judge cannon. Judge chutkan will follow, as she said, the d. C. Circuit court of appeals agrees, and the u. S. Supreme court disagrees. Judge cannon has gone her own way. I have to play this. This is the issue in the election interference cases in georgia and in the u. S. Case in the jack smith case. Here is donald trump saying something we don't often hear him say, meaning i lost. Here he is. I became president, then the second time, i got millions more votes, than i got the first time. I was told if i got 63 million, which is what i got the first time, you would win. You can't not win. And i got millions more votes than that, and lost by a whisker. Lost by a whisker. Can that be used against him in court? it could, but what his lawyers will say, he believes that now, but at the time, when he was indicted and what they're accused him of, he didn't believe that. But clearly, if i'm the special counsel, every word that comes out of his mouth, that is incriminaing like that, that is useful. It might be helpful to the 1600 odd people who spent time in prison because of him maybe to know that he lost. If he's going to admit it now, it amight have been helpful to their cases before they committed federal cases. If i'm one of their lawyers do i sue that guy? they could try because some have said when they pled guilty, they did this on behalf of him because they believed him. Now he's saying he lost by a whisker. He's also said that he is looking to do retribution. Do we have time to play that? let's play that if we could and he's talking about retribution. She and her party are censoring speech, weaponizing the justice system. And trying to throw their political opponents, me, in jail. This hasn't happened. I didn't do that to crooked hillary. I said that would be a terrible thing, wouldn't it? putting the wife of the president of the united states in jail. But they view it differently, i guess nowadays, but that's okay. And they always have to remember that two can play the game. This is essentially a threat to use the justice department against a citizen just because he can. And a supreme court, you know, said he can. It said that the department of justice is under the exclusive authority of the president. He has exclusive authority over their prosecution and investigation decisions. So that's what that majority decision said. Mad king george would like a word and was wondering why did we do that whole revolution thing if we were just going to have a king anyway. Wait a minute, that seems like a dupe of him. Catherine christian, thank you very much. Coming up, the right just loves to fearmonger over crime, especially migrant crime, and it turns out their newest obsession, it isn't even true.

Fear over the brown dangerous immigrant is an old conservative trick. Be prepared to see plenty of it before the election in november. From conservative media to elon musk and immigrant himself, we're seeing a surge in alarm bells over socalled illegal immigration. But many of these alarm bells are fake. As johan jones noted, police in california and colorado have rebutted two viral stories about immigrants that were spread by right wing social media accounts. Including a false story alleging that illegal aliens tried to hijack some california school buses late last month. The bogus story got ample coverage on fox, as well, but according to a fact check in usa today, there were no hijackings attempted, and authorities said no crimes were committed, and no one forcefully attempted to stop or enter the vehicles. Don't expect a retraction from fox or elon anytime soon, though. These fake fear of the brown migrant stories all boil down to the border and an upcoming presidential election roiled by immigration politics. The latest flash point takes place in aurora, colorado, where the venezuelan gang tda has allegedly taking over an apartment complex. Here's had story per fox. Residents are living in fear because armed gangs, alleged gajs you're looking at, are taking over apartment complexes. This is just beginning. This is about to get so much worse. We have heard reports that this gang has grown lighted its members attack your local police. We really need to start putting boots on the ground and arresting these guys for shooting up cars. We're now seeing them in places like aurora, colorado, or chicago, or pittsburgh, pennsylvania, because kamala harris has allowed us to import the business of the drug cartels into our own communities. Of course, james david is included. Then you have the republican nominee who never finished the wall, weighing in, saying they're even though aurora police even though aurora police say that is not the case. This story is actually blown up after a severe lens video showing ondemand ticking down and apartment doors. It's the same video that you see in those box clips. The video is real and we are not saying that criminality is absent in the story but residents are disputing those viral claims. Pointing the problems and said to what they call slumlord owners who have let this building and others fall into disrepair. We know how conservatives love a bad migrant story, and aurora is, indeed, maga salinas bogeyman, the legal immigrants taking over and apartment that's what they want you to believe.

And apartment complex and aurora, colorado part apartment publics wreaking havoc on the community. This boils down to what conservatives claim is the worst border crisis. Biden's fall, naturally. Here's the thing, authorities and residents and aurora are saying the story is false. Joining me now is who is running against congressman lauren boebert in colorado and i'm going to point out that you are in the next district over. You are running in the district neighboring this aurora district but what are you hearing from people in the community about the realities of this story. There's a lot of misinformation about what's going on here. Let's start with this. There's been some sick concerning violence in aurora but let's be clear. Everyone oh no. The gremlins have gotten her. Overlooked. Okay, we are going to make sure that you have people like lauren boebert feeding disinformation. Oh no. And i call for okay, we are going to bipartisan border security bill because she would rather fearmonger and do the hard work to solve real problems. And when i called her out, she fell apart. And now, her campaign is falling apart, too. Keep in mind, reelection in 2022. It was the closest race in the entire century. 546 votes. So exactly what her administration moved to the other side of the state and try to take a political and it's not working. The polls show we can be here, but we need your help to do it so everyone watching right now, please, go to defeatlauren. Com. Let me reiterate what she said. Lauren boebert put it without his kamala harris, she blamed her specifically, has managed to import the worst of the letter american gangs right into colorado and we are not even a border state. This is pure insanity. I was raised in aurora. This is nothing we ever had before. How are children supposed to grow up with this mess around them. Well lauren, let me tell you, i was raised in the town literally next door to aurora in montbello and i can tell you, i still have folks that are there, it's a thing that rhymes with what she's saying about aurora. There's always been a large mexican american, a large latin american community in that part of denver. The idea that there are somehow a bunch of criminals is just offensive because this is a lot of the community who is actually born and raised there, as well. That's right. That's right. And it breaks my heart of folks coming up to me all the time and they say you have to win because we are afraid if lauren boebert winds. They work in the community, fear is the point and we are not going to let that stand. So we are going to get rid of her. And the other piece of it is, the story, the local affiliates there, local news has done the story. The real story is a really rotten landlord that's not fixing those buildings, that is allowing them to fall apart, allowing rats to run through the buildings and people who are living in poverty and in essentially, you know, poverty that's being fixed by rich people. And caused by rich people. And she doesn't ever address that. That's right. And then there's the housing crisis. All across the state. There are real issues. We have got to get to work on. This distraction, the divisiveness, the demonizing immigrants has got to stop. We got real problems, we got to get to work. We are hoping to fire her, send me in, i will roll up my sleeves and i'm going to get to work for the people of our district and the entire state of colorado. Are we seeing the same kind of lies in local media that we are seeing on fox? just making up stories about colorado and about my former uptown trying to make it look like this horrible nightmare of a place when actually, colorado is a wonderful place to live. It absolutely is and, you know what, immigrants are critical to our economy, here in colorado. So her rhyming is not a strategy. It's just fear mongering and it doesn't work for business in colorado. It's bad business. People don't want that and also, she needs to go ahead and do her job, as a budget, work with the other side, get things done and she's disproven she's not willing to do that, she's not going to and she has to go. It's these people with the platforms who are really dangerous and it is really quite terrifying. Congressional candidate tricia. Let me say your name. Okay, you can say it however you want. You can say if you want to really say it right, you have to say it with her hands. I love it. We love it, tricia, thank you. I'm always going to say like that. Thank you very much and good luck
