And on that note, i wish you a very good night. From all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thanks for staying up late with me. I will see you at The End of tomorrow. Vice President Candidate j. D. Vance has a new line he likes to repeat on the campaign trail. You know the big difference between conservatives and liberals . Is that no one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple of months and two people now have tried to kill Donald Trump in the last couple of months. I would say that is strong evidence that the left needs to tone down the rhetoric. Two Assassination Attempts, attempts in as many months. I think it is time to say to the democrats, to the media, to everybody that has been attacking this man and trying to censure this man going on 10 years, cut it out or you are going to get somebody killed. J. D. Vance wants people to believe it is the Lefts Rhetoric that motivated these attacks. Donald trump has taken it a step further directly blaming Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden for the attacks. In an interview with Fox News digital, trump said somewhat, they use highly inflammatory language. I can use it too. Far better than they can. But i dont. Now, so far there is no public evidence to support the claim that rhetoric from Harris Or Biden was in any way implicated in either of these attacks. In fact, trumps first assassin did not have a political motive. He was remembered in his community as a conservative and he explored opportunities to attack president biden. The latest alleged assassin does have a history of political an mist against trump. Does not mean he was a democrat. Social Media Profile says he was Disillusions Trump and then supported Nikki Haley and ramaswamy. Not a democrat or a republican for that matter. Now, there is still a lot that we dont know about these a parent attempts on Trumps Life and what might and might not have motivated the gunman. But trump and Vances Concern about inflammatory language is fairly disengenious. It has been a week since he claimed on the Debate Stage that haitian immigrants were eating the pets of local residents. Or cats and dogs. That lie has wreaked havoc. The Citys Mayor received death threats. More than 30 bomb threats. They were forced to cancel a celebration with safety concerns. Schools have been evacuated and State Police have been dispatched to protect school aged children. All of it because of something Donald Trump said. Sort of the literal definition of inflammatory rhetoric. Despite all of that, along with reported insistence that there is no truth to trumps claim, Trump And Vance wont give it up. This week j. D. Vance appeared to admit that he and trump created this story but still sticking to it. The american people totally ignored there stuff until Donald Trump and i started talking about cat memes. If i have to create story that is what i am going to do. You just said this is a story that you created . Yeah. So eating Dogs Thing is not true. We are creating, we are creating it comes from firsthand accounts from my constituents. We are creating a story. We are creating the american media focusing on it. I am going to try to unpack that a little bit. I think j. D. Advances trying to say he is fabricating a story about immigrants so that the media will focus on immigrants. Which sort of feels like the definition of a Bait And Switch or a Red Herring or a lie. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris sat Down Today for a interview with the National Association Of Black Journalists where she was asked about the situation in springfield and offered her wholesome response. You know that microphone in front of you . You need to understand it at a deep level how much your words have meaning. It means that you have been invested with trust, to be responsible in the way you use your words much less how you conduct yourself. And and when you have been and then seek to be the president of the united states of america. That is what it looks like when a politician considering the impact of their words. Then the man she is running against. We will root out the communists, and those that live like vermon. It is grave than the threat from within. We got a lot of work to do. Today we will take on the liars, losers, creeps, perverts, freaks that are devouring the future of this state like a swarm of locus. We fight, we fight like hell. If you dont fight like hell you will not have a country anymore. Joining me now former democratic senator from missouri and Politico Playbook and one of the journalist that interviewed Vice President harris today at the National Association Of Black Journalists event. Great to have both of you here with me. Claire, you know, calling out inflammatory rhetoric at the same time engaging endlessly in rhetoric seems like i think, Textbook Version of hypocrisy. But i sort of wonder if Trump And Vance are going to get away with this by saying the Assassination Attempts are happening publicly as far as we know, not only against us but therefore it is all of the democrats fault . Blaming, the way you deescalate political violence is not blaming the other side for political violence. Right. That is not how you deescalate. And, frankly, we can take this entire show and just run clips of the things that have been said by both Donald Trump and j. D. Vance that are incredibly with ideas of political violence. Yes. You know. It will be bloody. Fight like hell. Going back to 2016. Trump used to encourage people to hit people at his rallies. If that does not work. I am proud of Joe Bidden and Kamala Harris. They called Donald Trump. They said they were glad he was okay. I think they still have to continue to point out the differences between these two campaigns. It is incumbent upon us to make everyone realize that one is darkness and rounding up people and putting their political opponents in jail and the other is, you know what, we will try to help you and your family. We are going to try to make your life better. We will try to expose your opportunity. By the way, Isnt America a wonderful place . That is a contrast she tried to draw on stage in public discourse, in advertisements. I was struck, eugene, i dont know how you felt or how it was in the room but the tenure of the Vice President s response to your question and the way she almost seemed sad, genuinely, that this is what trump is doing to the country. Almost the kind of resignation that he is not going to change and sort of encouragement to just turn the page. How was it on stage and what was your sense of her mood . I think that is right. I have covered her the entire time she has been Vice President. I never seen her react to a question like that. A question or the questioner but it was the moment that we are living in. And, she has not spoken about springfield. We were thinking about the topics we wanted to work on and when i was writing the question really i wanted to hear what she had to say. A policy that she felt like the federal government could use to help communities and she took the opportunity to do something, i think, that people wanted to hear from her. That is kind of talk about this moment in history. Talk about what it is like as someone who, one is a current leader, and to continue to be a leader as we move forward and she did not even really say trumps name, right . It was clear what she was talking about. She, you know, was talking about the kids, she is obsessed with kids. She is talking about the concerns that she has about the way that this kind of rhetoric and these tropes as she said more than once, are dangerous for people, right . Because at The End of the day the Conspiracy Theories have no basis of fact, right . And you played the clip of senator j. D. Vance and him saying he created the story. Or he created it but he did pair it and Donald Trump did it on the Debate Stage. A lot of democrats who asked me, a lot of requests for questions as you can imagine with these opportunity comes up, and a lot of democrats were wondering why she did not say anything on the Debate Stage, right . So, i knew that was something that people even within her party were wondering how she felt about what was going on in springfield. And, it is going to continue. So, this is not going anywhere. She will have to continue to make these same points because, both in springfield and in general the racist Conspiracy Theories about people in this country are not going anywhere. Especially dark skinned democrats. I thought she did something that was important when she was asked about the rhetoric. She did not necessarily focus on trump. She talked about the little children in springfield who are going into school for picture day. She talked about them being dressed up to get their photos taken and that they could not do it because Donald Trump and j. D. Vance was spreading lies. That is one of the things about this conversation it does not exist in the abstract. It is about real lives, not just the powerful people in the crosshairs but the normal, everyday people without secret Service Protection that did not ask for this that are caught up in what trump created. I wonder if you think that is, as setting aside the Retor Rhetorical Look at it, he is costing all of us. I think it is helpful. I think when Donald Trump made the famous line they are eating the dogs, which will go down in president ial debate history. I think it is important to point out, alex, this is the first time they have gone after legal immigrants. These people in springfield are there legally. They are not illegal in any way. They have status. They have been told by the government of our country they are there, they can work, they can raise their families. The fact that they are going after them, they really crossed a border here. You know. And said, now, we are going to try to demonize people who have legal status in this country. And, the republican mayor is saying dont come here. This is total b. S. The republican governor is saying that this is garbage. The employers of these haitian legal immigrants have said they are wonderful employees, people of springfield spoken out saying leave us alone. We are fine. All of that. And now they are going to continue to try to marginalize these people and in the long run impact these childrens lives in a way they will never, ever forget as long as they are alive. It is such it is such a searing point, claire. You mentioned the way j. D. Vance, given a chance to admit he is wrong, the eating of dogs and cats is not happening in springfield doubled down in that interview on cnn and said basically it is a means to an end. If people are caught up in it, so it. This is what it takes to get people to understand the stakes, i guess, of the Immigration Crisis as the right wing would have them what do you think about his answer . Reporter at The End of the day the answer he has given to her and other journalists, too, it does not hold water. If your constituents come to you as a senator and said this happened and it did not happen it is important for you to say we looked into it, it did not happen. If your kids, someones children saying mom this thing happened and that it did not then is your duty as the adult in the room saying actually, there is no demon under your bed, right . That is an important aspect of being a leader. I think that is the point that our colleagues are making when they are asking him these questions. As leaders you are not just someones, you know, Crazy Uncle on Lineup Retweeting cat memes. The words matter. The kind of impact that happened to every day people, to who are just living in this community and the community that is dealing with resource issues, can probably use federal assistance when it ins to the translators on the ground. Not such backlogs. Can use it as a Policy Prescription that will be useful here. When you see leaders engage in racist Conspiracy Theories instead of talking about the policy, it tells you a lot about if a republican party is right now. Claire and eugene, thank you for your time and thoughts tonight. Great to have you here. Coming up, j. D. Vance defends his Partys Position on abortion as that exact position appears to have cost one Georgia Woman Life saving care.

That was the demolition of the Trump Plaza Hotel and casino in Atlantic City back in 2021. If you know anything about the story of trump and his Casino Businesses i bet you know the story does not end well. Multiple Trump Casinos ended up filing for bankruptcy. I bet you knew. But i bet you dont know this story. The year, 1982, the first year forbes issued the list of the 400 richest americans. Trump made it claiming he was worth 100 million. But at the time trump was worth 5 Million and he was also hemorrhaging cash. Donald trump had a plan. That year, trump got a license from the new Jersey Casino Control commission to operate a casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey and found an investor to finance the project. Holiday inn which owned the Casino Chain harrahs would give trump 50 Million to build the casino and they would split the profits, trump had to prove one little thing, first. Here is how the New York time investigative reporter tell the story in their new book Lucky Loser. He was on a deal that would get him out of a bind. Before leaving the ceo said the Board Of Directors would want to see with his own eyes that construction was underway, evidence that this young builder could make this happen. Donald kept the truth to himself, he did not have things underway because he did not have the money. So, he directed his Construction Supervisor to hire every piece of earthmoving machinery he could find. The day the Holiday Board visited the site dozens of bulldozers and backhoes pushed mounds of earth around the site in an elaborate reduce with no purpose other than to fool trumps new business partner. Afterwards he introduced himself to one of the executives with the line he would never forget. I think im probably the most successful person my age in the united states. That was how trump started the Trump Plaza Hotel and casino. He bluffed his way into it. Trump created the myth of himself as a successful businessman and he sold it to the public so that he could then sell it to his Business Partners and for a long time, that myth really worked out. There Is A New billionaire in town. Trump is the name. Donald trump is a deal maker. A Swash Buck Ler to this day a lot of people believe that myth and Donald Trump is still cashing in on it. Trump may try to pull off his biggest schemes yet. I know if is difficult to keep track of all of Trumps Cash gametes. Just yesterday, trump launched his own Cryptocurrency Platform. Before that, Gold Trump sneakers and the trump endorsed bible, the Nfc Trading cards. This thursday could be trumps biggest payday ever. This thursday is the day that Donald Trump will finally be able to sell his stock in trump media. The Parent Company of his Website Truth social. If trump plays his cards right in that sale. He could net around 2 billion. Now, that is not because the company is doing well. But because Donald Trump convinced so many people that he is a successful businessman and so many of those people have in turn invested in that company. The reality of that company is that truth social stock has been going down consistently since the day the company launched. On friday, trump told the press he will not be selling his stock on thursday saying he loves it. But you should know there is a huge incentive to say he will not sell etch if it is not the truth. That is because trump is beholden to rules that trump is only allowed to tart selling his shares on thursday if trump Media Stock remain above 12 a share. Today they were trading for around 16.

It is not just Donald Trump the republican nominee having a busy week, Donald Trump the Business Plan has a lot on his plate. The cryptocurrency and the sale of shares of truth social. As New York times reporters point out in their deeply reported new book about trumps wealth. Trumps successes are not the result of business it is a result of many, many, many lucky breaks. Good things happen to Donald Trump. He did not earn most of those good things, he was born, he was discovered by a revolutionary Television Producer and he was pushed into an investment against his will. From those three bits of good luck came equivalent today of 1. 5 billion. There is no evidence, 50 years in labor that trump added to his lucky fortune. He would have been better off betting on the Stock Market than on himself. Joining me now, our investigative Reporter Suzanne Craig and russ putner. Lucky loser, how trump Scwawppedderred Squander his fortune filled with a lot of new reporting and deeply informative reporting on stories that we knew. The words in the book. Maybe you can start first. Just, the relationship between Donald Trump and Fred Trump was more beneficial man he imagined. These days calling him his Brooklyn Builder of a dad but the reality is, he is the Money Man behind Donald Trumps entire fortune. We all would like to have a father in some ways, in all ways [ laughter ] throwing millions of dollars. A lot of money. Donald trump benefited from his relationship with his father when it comes to the finances. He was born into an incredibly wealthy family. I remember one of the stories that i was happening about, about the family and they grew up in queens and all of the kids in the neighborhood used to marvel at the fact that they had an electric Door Opener for the garage. They had everything, the first color tv, he really, you know, he grew up very, very wealthy and inherited a lot of money. It was enhanced by tax fraud. That was the first hugely lucky break of his life. He spent so much time talking about how his father, you know, really is a small time guy, nothing to look at here. Never could of made the fortune. Small time guy and Donald Trump did it all himself. It was as if he was hard of a Hard Scrabbled story and had to come up with one. Incredible how he has gone out of his way. First we see in his early Business Career he a propiates his fathers wealth. He is propriating the wealth and diminishing his fathers accomplishments. Fred trump, donald was a black hole for Freds Money eventually and Fred Trump abides the smack talking from his chosen son. He singles out trump of the five trump kids, donald is the chosen one. He allows his son to basically diminish his legacy and suggest that he is some kind of mastermind when really the inverse is true, is it not . It is. It is the most remarkable part of this as a long story, right . A thread that we saw. Fred has done everything pretty much, he has broken rules but as a businessman he follows very strict procedures, never, he always estimates correctly when his revenue is going to be, does not spend more than it is going to take in. All of his projects make money. He is careful. Donald is the opposite. When donald first arrives in 1968, he immediately starts to take over the business. He becomes the public spokesperson for it. And donald announces they are building projects all over the place. And building a new seaport in Manhattan And Convention center in d. C. It is all smoke and mirrors. Fred has never done that in his life. He like goes along for the ride. And when donald gets a project up. When he gets his first Building Up, he starts, donald starts telling the world he has fully taken over the finances of his fathers company. He has not. Fred goes along with that and allows donald to say it and echoes it, donald surpassed me. Donald had one Building Up of his own. It is really remarkable relationship that is central to what he was able to accomplish that and fitting in motion what would be a long career of diminishing people closest to him and support him and assuming their loyalty is viable. Yes. Tosses them overboard when they are not loyal staggering to people who remember trumps in the 80s and 90s. Even in the apprentice years it is paper tiger, right . The offices of the apprentice are so shabby they have to kind of use smoke and mirrors can you talk about the Stage Craft, Pretending Trump is a successful businessman. There was a lot of Stage Craft involved when Mark Ber Net mark bernett. Trump was the host. He was the prize that all of these contestants wanted. They were viing and scheming to work for. The producers showed up and found chipped furniture, they said the carpet smelled. They said it was awful. So, they ended up creating a whole other area on the fourth floor of Trump Tower partly for where the contestants would live but the boardroom is fake. That is not his boardroom. They had to create it. Reporter given he is hemorrhaging cash, he is bailed out by other investors who are brought in. He, he continues to sell himself publicly as a businessman. Nobody pipes up. Here we are looking at the sale of trump social stock that is largely built on Donald Trumps reputation and not at all on truth Socials Ability to generate revenue. You have a Working Theseis about thesis . There are a couple things to give him credit for. He is a charisma. People are wooed by him. He can be persituative. Persuasive. People who are smart and accomplished that give him opportunities to do something when he has not done it before because he convinced them that he could. That has been a diminishing trend over the last 10 years, right . He decided, again, to under take the effort to make himself look like a businessman. That is a huge tower in chicago. Worthless on his Tax Return after he got it open. He built, he remodeled the Post Office in a hotel in d. C. He lost 7 to 10 Million every year. He had to sell it. He bought Golf Courses in the u. K. All sucking money, he had to subsidize them with the money from his fame. He is not convincing people much anymore but now he has this new audience that are his political followers. And i really think truth social is marketing to them. He is selling their complex to them and if you look at the site and read the people who are investing that is what they grab on to. We are under assault from all sides, we have to protect this side, we have to protect trump he is our only chance. Once the trump brand, now grievance and rage. Really you have to hand it to him in terms of the invasion on that front. It is, guys, it is, i said delicious but really, it is work, it is real work and it is a great time to be reading it as we are on the edge of, you know, the trump Cryptocurrency Platform and the sale of truth social. Thank you for writing it. Congratulations. The book is Lucky Loser how Donald Trump squanderd his fathers fortune.

Tragic story about a young woman who died because it appears that the people who should have given her Health Care were afraid they would be criminalized after the Dobbs Decision came down. Vice president harris, the woman she is referring to is amber nicole therman. A healthy 28yearold Mother to a 6yearold boy. She died in 2022 after doctors waited 20 hours to administer lifesaving reproductive care that she desperately needed. They waited to operate on her even after she was diagnosed with septis after her organs began failing and after they determined she was at risk of bleeding out. According to new reporting from propublica The Reason was the six Week Abortion Ban that just gone into effect. Needing a routine procedure called a Law-made-performing'>Dnc The New Law Made Performing that procedure a felony with few exceptions. Any doctor that violate today could be prosecuted and face up to a decade in prison. Here is how Vice President ial candidate j. D. Vance responded to that story today. I would like to learn more about this case and understand the details a little better. It is an unspeakable tragedy and never happen in this country and that is why we believe on the prolife side in the exception. Thank you for joining me. It is worth noting to everybody here that georgia does have an exception to the life of a mother and that is precisely what led to this, doctor his to wait until she was about to die before they could offer her a routine procedure that should of saved her life earlier. What is your reaction to the Vice President ial Nominees Statement Today . Well, what j. D. Vance just showed Everyone Today across the country is exactly the problem with this position. This is not a question of weeks or exceptions it is a question of who gets to make choices about what happens to our body. It is a question of will patients get lifesaving care when they need it. Ambers death is just a horrible, heartbreaking tragedy but it is a direct result as Vice President harris said, of the Georgia Ban and a direct result of the fact that the overturning of Roe V. Wade which is because Donald Trump hand picked the judges and that is what got us in this position. When we hear from j. D. Vance, first of all the equivalent of thoughts and prayers rings hollow right now. But it is also, it is really important that we both share a Ambers Story and thank you for doing that but this is what is at stake in the election cycle. The other part of the story, part of The Reason she had to go, mr. Thurman had to go to North Carolina Pause there is flow where else for her to seek reproductive care, Abortion Care in the State Of Georgia given her pregnancy and because so plane women from the south live in what are termed Abortion Deserts there is a bottleneck of patients in states like North Carolina where you can freely control your own body. And, she misses her initial appointment, can not get follow up care at the Abortion Clinic and forced to go to the Emergency Room in a state that is not friendly to women seeking necessary Abortion Care. It seems like that is the aftereffect of this as well. What the pressure as a society are putting on the few clinics that offer reproductive care, can you talk more about that reality . Reporter well, what we are facing in this country right now is nothing short of a State Of Emergency when it comes to reproductive care. To your point, doctors, refusing to provide care in places where they are under these bans, even care that is not related to reproductive care because they dont want to be under a microscope of the goffment and having the government telling them how to provide care. The ramifications of these Abortion Bans of the fall of Roe V. Wade are far and they are wide and people are living with the devastating consequences every day. Ambers story is so heartbreaking and tragic we have a child who will grow up without a mother because of it. But what is more horrifying is the fact that this is happening to people all over the country every day. And, people are living in fear, in panic, and they are not able to get the care that they need. That really is what is the heart of this conversation around the future of reproductive future. How do we chart a way back. It will be democratic leader, particularly prochoice women that will lead us out of this if we elect them this november. I do wonder, you know, we are now beginning to get the first bits of reporting of women who not just suffered but lost their lives because of these Abortion Bans, i wonder what you think it does to the national conversation. It has not changed Donald Trump or j. D. Vances position but does it move people in the way that other stories of women bleeding out in Parking Lots but surviving does it change people who now might be moved to do something about it. Reporter well, one of The Reasons that the issue of reproductive freedom has had the power with voters it is a deeply intuitive and personal issue. And, when leaders like the Vice President and Vice President harris speak about there and they talk about their work on this they are doing this from a place where they understand how deeply personal it is. That is one of The Reason that she shares stories so often. She shared the stage frequently with Story Tellers like woman who faced denial of care until she was on deaths door. It makes a big difference, all of the stories that we tell make a big difference, it really continues to put in front of people, it is very what is at stake to woman across america and when voters have that in front of them and understand the stakes of an election around reproductive freedom they show up. We saw it in the midterm and the response of the Vice President s campaign. That is the work that we are going to need to do over the next few days. Jessica, with emilys list, pleasure to have you on the program. Thanks for your time and thoughts on this. Really appreciate it. Thank you.

Start during his 2005 Confirmation Hearing supreme Court Chief JusticeJohn Roberts notoriously said that his job was to call balls and strikes and not pitch or not but this week Standing Reporting from the New York times is dismantling Chief Justice roberts cultivated neutrality. The Momentous Trail of january 6related cases last term, the court found itself entangled in president ial politics than at any time since the 2000 election even as it was contending with its own controversies related to that day. The Chief Justice responded by deploying his authority to steer rulings that benefited mr. Trump according to a New York times examination that uncovered extensive new information about the courts decision making. Joining me now is mark stern, senior writer covering the courts and the Law. s latest piece is entitled we help John Roberts constructs his image as a centrist. We were so wrong. We were wrong because we really believe that even though John Roberts was conservative through and through, and shared the goals of the conservative legal movements, that he was not a mega maga extremist, that he does not support the excesses of trumpism and that he would at least attempt to guide his court toward some kind of middle ground in at least some cases that involve Donald Trump in the election and the reality is, we were wrong about that. You know, this new reporting demonstrates that roberts really froze out his liberal colleagues when they came to him attempting to make compromises in these momentous cases. Instead, he was delusional enough to believe the praise from sycophants like Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh who promised him that these would be decisions for the ages and that the public would embrace and celebrate a Sweeping Ruling Granting Trump Criminal immunity for attempting to support the 2020 election. I think we believe that roberts still had some eagerness for compromise and we thought that he cared about the courts institutional legitimacy is a good in itself when in reality he wants to know just how far he can push the court before he breaks it, how much she can get away with and as long as he does not think that he is going to destroy the institution he will push to help Donald Trump in every way possible. To that end, he was offered effectively in Olive Branch from the liberals on the court who were ready to make deals on some of these cases and he basically rebuffed them. That shocked me. I dont know how you process to that information. I was stunned. I think that was a real mask off moment because when John Roberts first was potentially relegated to the sideline after Amy Coney Barrett replaced ruth Bader Ginsburg there was this new hardcore fivejustice conservative majority. John roberts did not immediately join them in every case. He famously declines to overturn Roe V wade and some Shadow Docket decisions she said that the conservatives to his right had gone too far and it seems that he kind of just got sick of losing. He decided that losing was for suckers and so instead, because he could not beat them, he joined the five conservative some sort of almost out conservative to them in these cases, presenting himself as trumps chief defender Behind The Scenes. That was startling to me because previously it seems that he had some contempt for Trumps Extremism and had spoken out, in fact, about trumps degradation of the Judiciary But None of that skepticism toward trump came through in these decisions and it appears that roberts never wavered Behind The Scenes and his commitment to giving trump all the immunity that he wanted and more and Positioning Trump to achieve a major victory in 2024 that would let him reshape the Law even further in his own image. It just feels like we need more leaks from this court. You think were going to get them . I do. I think we have entered a great new age of supreme Court Reporting for journalists are no longer just ethnographers for the justices, but are asking difficult questions, cultivating sources Behind The Scenes and treating the court like the institution of fLawed government employees than it actually is. That gives me a lot of optimism this will not be the last week was he about the roberts court. Nor should it be. Its always great to have you on this program and hear your thoughts on this stuff. Thanks for your time tonight. That is your show tonight. Now, it is time for the last word with Lawrence odonnell. Good evening. I want to add a few thoughts about the united states Supreme Court in this hour, especially their moral responsibility in the moral diagram
