Can you believe it . Rachel maddow on bravo. Never thought i would see the day. For all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thanks for staying up late with me. Ill see you at The End of tomorrow. Today started with bomb shell news. Last monday, Jd Vances Team contacted officials in Springfield Ohio to Fact Check claims on haitian immigrants eating pets. Springfield City Manager told vances people pointblank there was no verifyable evidence of immigrants eating pets. The claims were baseless, but still, Jd Vance repeated them online. And the next day, trump used one of the biggest platforms in the world, an american president ial debate, to push the claims again. Claims the campaign knew were lies. The new reporting from the Wall Street Journal should be devastating to the trump campaign. But the stunning thing is they probably wont care. Because trump and Vances Invocation of springfield was never about the truth to begin with. Springfield is less important to them as an Wall Place than actual people and more important to them as a symbol. Look at that, you can see the four states that border springfield, ohio, nevada nevada, maine, and kentucky. The simpsons famously takes place in springfield. Not any particular springfield, but springfield. It is meant to be a stand in for every Town Usa. In the real world, there is a springfield in 34 states. So springfield really could be just about anywhere. Active participation is the basis of good citizenship. Dont you kids realize the habit you forms here at home are the ones you will take with you into your Community Life . You might also know springfield as the setting of the 1950s Sitcom Father knows best. And that springfield is also placeless. It is any Town Usa. The conservative Eisenhower Ideal of an american town with white Picket Fences and white nuclear families with 2. 5 children. This is the springfield that matters to Donald Trump and Jd Vance. The springfield of some retro grade american imagination. A symbol that has nothing to do with the reality of Springfield Ohio. The actual story of Springfield Ohio, first settled by irish immigrants. German immigrants and blacker americans headed north as part of the great migration. The real story of springfield, ohio is a story of immigration and integration. Donald trump and Jd Vance dont want to tell that american story. The story of expansion and growth. They want the tv springfield. Where nothing ever changes and nothing looks the same. Trump and vance want to use the example of that springfield to stoke Fear And Paranoia about change. Specifically that haitian immigrants 15,000 of them are descending on every Town Usa and they are ruining it. Springfield has become a symbol of trump as his Running Mate. A cautionary tale of immigrants and people who dont look like you or speak the same language and what they might do to your america. What matters is way in which springfield can be perverted to make the case that outsiders are poisoning the blood of this country. That they are vermin and they are destroying the country from the inside out. If i have to create stories so The American media pays attention to the suffering of The American people, then thats what im going to do. That is why you will never ever hear Jd Vance or Donald Trump back down from their claim about springfield, ohio. Because to them, springfield isnt really in ohio. It is a symbol of the maga world view. How we need to deport illegal aliens. The majority of the haitians are here legally. My question for you is, if you become the Vice President under a trump administration, what will you guys do about the migrants that are already there . Since they did arrive legally . Well if Kamala Harris waves the wand illegally and says these people are now here legally, im still going to call them an illegal alien. Tonight, Donald Trump held a rally at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island in New York. Long island is an incredibly different community from the actual town of springfield in ohio but the symbolism of Springfield Trump and vance are using works here too. Long island is experiencing demographic change. There are lots of immigrants including haitian immigrants and more recently, there is a large influx of migrants from central and south america. The reality here is Long Island is the product of generation after generation of immigration and by integration. Rather than lean into the reality of americas past, Trump And Vance are using their lies to gen up Fear And Paranoia to bring people to their dark and dystopian vision of americas future. How about in springfield, ohio, they had 32,000, this is a little beautiful town. No crime. No problem. 32,000 illegal immigrants come into the town. So the mayor of springfield and i think he is a very nice person. But instead of saying we are getting them all out, he says simply, we are hiring teachers to teach them english. Can you believe it . We are hiring interpreters so when they go to school and take the place of our children in school, we have an interpreter, each one will have a private interpreter. What the hell is wrong with our country . No. No. We are getting them out of our country. They came in illegally. They are destroying our country. We are getting them out. They will be brought back to the country from which they came. There are not 32,000 illegal immigrants in springfield, ohio. There are about 15,000 legal haitian immigrants. But when trump lies like this, it isnt actually about springfield. It is about his plan for all of america. They are coming from congo, africa, The Middle East, asia, a lot of it coming from asia. And whats happening to our country is we are just destroying the fabric of life in our country. And we are not going to take it any longer. And you got to get rid of these people. Give me a shot. You will have a safe New York within three months. Three months. Trumps campaign was told over a week ago by Springfield City officials that the lies they were spreading were not true. Today, three Grocery Stores in springfield had to be evacuated because of Bomb Threats. That comes on top of the dozens of other Bomb Threats the town has received in the past week. But Donald Trump is still pushing this stuff. And now, The American right has descended upon springfield with proud boys marching in the streets and the Klu KluxKlan Distributing antihaitian flyers. Vivek ramaswamy is headed to springfield for what he is calling a town hall. Trump says hi plans to visit the ohio town. And as much as this story should have ended Last Monday when trumps team was told their claims were lies, well. It seems trumps story of springfield is only just beginning. Joins me now is denise williams, president of the Springfield Ohio chapter of the naacp. Thank you for being here, we are so eager to hear about how you are grappling with all of this. Lets start there. What is life like in springfield right now . Thank you for having me. Its a mess here, i dont know if i can clearly express the issues we have in here. As you said it earlier in your segment, three Grocery Stores had to close. Because of Bomb Threats. Every day, we are waking up to not one bomb threat. Two, three. The schools have been threatened with Bomb Threats. My grandchildren are not safe. It has been a complete and total nightmare here. What does it mean that Donald Trump wants to come to springfield . What does that mean for life in springfield as far as you see it . As far as i see it, ill tell you the truth, alex. It will make things worse. Im begging you for the government to help us with this. He does not need to come here. The simple fact he has had the truth fed time and time again by our City Manager. By our mayor. To no avail. He and his Running Mate are still pushing this false narrative. I dont know what the angle is with this. But we do not need him here right now. He has put us all in danger. Trust me. The entire community. There are reports the proud boys, the blood describe and Neonazi Group marched in the town. We have reports of the Klu KluxKlan Distributing flyers. You are the head of the Naacp Chapter there. What has that been like for people to see the most vicious poisonous wing of the right descend on springfield . Let me say this. Springfield communities are angry. Those who are not, voting for trump and his lies. We are angry. You know, listen. I cannot send my grandson to the High School right now. For fear. And i really dont want my youngest grandson who is six to go. These guys, you have proud boys, you have all of these Hate Groups marching in the streets. And nothing is being done. Nothing is being said about this. I get the free speech thing. But this is a city of love, compassion. This is a city of hope. We dont understand how and why we made the debate stage. Why these Hate Groups feel impowered to come here. And guess what . They are unmasked. They dont care. They dont care about you. So for trump and Jd Vance to not care about the citizens in this city is disgusting and to continue to push to continue for him to push this false narrative is horrible. I cant find words to put into that. I just cant imagine why he. Im sorry to cut you off. Are neighbors having conversations with neighbors . Are you saying to people who might otherwise be Trump Supporters, hey, these are lies and you know as well as i do these are lies. Are these conversations happening on the ground . Yes they are. But, as long as trump is saying it, it doesnt matter. It has fallen on deaf ears. Still. In our community. Those trump voters, they are not willing to hear what the message is. They are believing everything that he is saying. And they are carrying out his hate. I know, ms. Williams, you were around for the Race Riot ins dayton in the 1960s. Yes. And i wonder if you could compare that moment. Can you compare . I was probably 13, 14 at the time. When this happened. It was my cousin that a group of white guys drove by and shot him while he was on the sidewalk. And i remember my parents telling us to pull the shades down and cut the lights out. And then, the aftermath. I could still smell the scent of fire. You can still hear the gunshots. So back then, the kkk and those guys were mad. Right now, they have been emboldened by trump and his people. I can tell you the atmosphere is the same. As a matter of fact, i predicted this back in january, february, march. We are on the brink of something happening. And we are not prepared. Now here we are. The atmosphere is the same. We have to watch where we go. Because we dont know. Is it our neighbors . Thats part of this group. Because now, they are not disguised. They are coming in. And they dont have the face masks on. So, for me, i cant compare it. I can only say the atmosphere feels the same. Because i lived through that. Denise williams, president of the springfield, Ohio Chapter of the naacp. Ms. Williams, we are sending you our best wishes and thoughts and strength for what is just an appalling chapter in american history. Thanks for your time tonight. Thank you so much for having me, alex. God bless. When we come back, it is not just springfield. What america is seeing right now in springfield is just a taste of what is to come if Donald Trump and Jd Vance take the white house. Well have more with Michelle Goldberg and heather mcgee.

Shes going to say on the one hand, were going to let in millions of illegal aliens to make your housing costs higher. On the other hand, if you dare complain about it, you are a racist. Kamala harris, i think that is disgraceful. You ought to have respect enough for your own people to enforce their Border Laws and listen to them. Listen to them when they complain about it. Dont pretend they are bad people. We are not bad people for loving this country. Youre a bad person for doing this to the country in the first place. Jd vance spent half of his rally in North Carolina trying to pretend the racist lies he has been spreading about springfield, ohio were actually part of a conversation he has been trying to have about affording housing. To be clear, that was never the case. Up until basically today, the focus of the republican ticket has been on whether haitian migrants are eating cats and dogs. Which is not at all an invitation to a conversation many people would like to have about the Housing Prices in america. It is not clear that Jd Vance wants to talk about affordable housing as much as he would like to propagate lies about black and brown people. Just like his Running Mate. Joining me now is Michelle Goldberg and heather mcgee. Im so eager to talk to you about what is happening here. We spent the last segment of the show talking to someone on the ground in springfield about the absolute fear this community is living in because of these lies Trump And Vance have been spreading. What is stunning to me is the degree to which they are detaching themselves from the truth and openly emigressing the great Replacement Theory that black and brown people are here to destroy the country. It is appalling but not stunning. It has been part of Trumps Strategy i think from the time he came down that elevator. And whats interesting is that even the republicans in springfield, the mayor is a republican. Theres a republican governor. There was a story about a Trump Supporter who at first accused haitians of stealing her cat. Then she found her cat in the basement. And used a Google Translater to go next Door And Apologize to them. So there is a level of decency even among some of the maga types in that area that you are not seeing at all from their leaders. And i think that in a way that they sort of revel in the fact they are not going to be bound by facts. They are not going to be bound by truth. That they can pretend it is fine to make up stories in the service of what they see as a higher truth and to make us all talk about what they want to talk about. I do think heather that they are pretty open about the fact that springfield is a spring board. A metaphor for the change they see in america they want to stop at all costs. Donald trump was in a Rally Tonight in Long Island which is not springfield. But where there is plenty of immigration. And it is abundantly clear that the issue is not haitians but brown people. Lets listen to what trump had to say a few minutes ago in Long Island. They are coming from the congo. They are coming from africa. They are coming from The Middle East. From all over the world. Asia. A lot from asia. And what is happening to our country is we are just destroying the fabric of life in our country. And we are not going to take it any longer and you have to get rid of these people. Give me a shot. Youll have a safe New York within three months. Three months. It shouldnt be surprising but it doesnt make it less chilling, heather. What do all those people have in common . They are the fabric of america. Asian, black people. People of latino heritage. Thats america. And thats not what Donald Trump wants to be america. Whats your reaction . In my book, i write about how this Core Question of who are we as americans, what are we to one another, and who is responsible for the rise in inequality is the fulcrum of our politics. Here is a multimillionaire, maybe billionaire depending on the day. And his Running Mate, a rich Wall Street Guy saying blame the diversifying country. Blame people who come to this country with very little to their name who are doing exactly what for the most of the white people that he is speaking to, your own ancestors did. When they were irish and Polish And German and swedish. And blame them, not wall street, for the housing crisis. Blame them, not the big corporations for shipping your job overseas. It is a direct deflection of blame for the angst that many americans feel. White, black, and brown, about how hard it is to get by. And so, you have to look at what is the strategy. It is not just about Hate And Demonization and emotions and morality. It is about economics. It is about greed. And the big problem here is if they were to win, and act out their racist agenda, Mass Deportation of cutting off asylum. They calculated it would cost The American economy far too much. The reason republican legislators at the local and State Level is because they have created a little bit of an economic rebound. Where like so many places in the post industrial country, there was Population Loss. The influx of the people who are coming to this country to help rebuild it is an economic boon and what i called drained Pool Politics to say fear and integrated america. Go ahead, drain the pool. And have the economic consequences of not being willing to women with people you dont look like. We know how that story ends. That is right, cutting off your nose to spite your face. What trump is advocating. The polling on Mass Deportations, this is a poll from this week. Do you support the Mass Deportation of undocumented immigrants which is haitians are not a part of that. 54 of the country supports it. 42 opposes it. People are being conned by this narrative that the immigrants are the Root Cause of any economic despair american workers may feel. I also feel maybe Kamala Harris. And she started to do this. Needs to do more to explain what Mass Deportation actually looks like. Like what it actually looks like. To have either the national Guard Or PoliceForce Trump envisions going in to communities, rounding people up. Setting up a network of massive camps across this country. I think some percentage of those people are just saying i dont think there should be illegal immigration. And not fully comprehending what that means. Not grasping the Police State Crackdown that would be required to do what Donald Trump is trying to do. At the same time, there is obviously a very substantial political appetite for this. And i think that is why at first people either laughed at the eating cats or Dogs Line or gaped in horror at the demagoguery of it. But there is a reason why even as they were revealed to be lying and winking and reveling in their lies, they keep at it. Because they know this strikes a cord with people. Who are extremely anxious and angry about a changing country. And so, you know, it doesnt need to be true. It maybe feels true. It raises the question on whether there is enough pushback on the left of the immigrant of americans poisoning the country. Generally speaking when you talk about the Immigration Crisis in the country and when you look at the policy, the Overton Window has shifted far to the right and in the deal making on capitol hill, the republican kind of ideology about the borders needing to be shut and the immigration is bad for the country has become ascended. And whether any pushback needs to come from the progressive left. That is such an excellent point. You know, what most people dont understand when they hear undocumented immigration, they hear people broke the law. Right . And they think it is like somebody stealing their car. They have no idea how hard it is to legally migrate into this country. They have no idea how oftentimes if they are white, their ancestors faced zero of those barriers to legally coming into the country. Many white americans in the 19th century were able to vote in states and cities even if they were not citizens. This is very, very different Immigration Regime that todays more diverse future americans are facing. So that is the starting point. There is good, bad, criminal, Citizen Morality put on the story from the outset that hasnt been corrected. That Isnt Part of the narrative. So that has bled into policy. We have gone more than two decades without comprehensive immigration reform. We have had this narrow carve out sliver for dreamers. Right . And it the the dreamers who are the kids who didnt do anything wrong. Right . They didnt come here to make a better life. They were taken here by their parents and of course, they didnt do anything wrong. They get to be sort of carved out as good immigrants. We have to stop the sort of moralizing about what it means to come to this country and try to make a better life and we have to fundamentally rewrite our Immigration Laws for our economy. For our democracy. And most of all, for communities like springfield. Communities where there is such Population Loss and we finally got you know, more factories opening up. More manufacturing happening in the country since the 1970s. Because of the Biden Harris economic policy. But now it is time to make sure that we have enough people to work in those factories and we refill the pool as it were of public goods for all americans no matter where they come from. Or as Vice President harris says, no matter what languages their grandmothers speak. It is so great to have you both here. I really appreciate your time. Thank you.

She is up by six points in pennsylvania, five points in michigan and one point in wisconsin. The only state within the Polls Margin of error. This may be part of a more national trend in harris favor. The latest Des Moines register poll from iowa shows trump leading by four points in that state. After leading president biden by 18 points in june. Simon, thank you for being here tonight. I think a lot of people would like a dose of opium. If you can see a connection between harris gaining as many as 4 points in iowa. A largely white state. And doing better potentially in these three Blue Wall states. Should we be connecting dots about the Working Class Voters . Since the debate, the election has probably shifted one or two points or even a little bit more in her favor. She was up two to three points before the debate. There has been a lot of polling and it is all saying the same thing. Which is that she is gaining ground and we will know how much the next couple of weeks but you started seeing a lot of State Polls that show her also at or above bidens 2020 numbers. The way to think about the race right now is that she is sitting basically where Joe Biden was in 2020. In some states she is doing better. In michigan and pennsylvania, biden only won by a point. We should feel good about where we are. The debate helped her and really hurt Donald Trump and the after math of the debate that they try to change the conversation to the eating cats and dogs has been a huge failure. We are in a strong place. Things are better and the most important thing we are about to see is that we just have a much stronger capacity to close. It is much more likely that we gain a little bit in the coming months. Your blog talking about the strength of the democratic ticket. You note one of the most encouraging bits of data in recent polling is how well liked the democratic ticket is. Both Vice President harris and Governor Walz are in or close to positive territories on favorables in most polls. Do you attribute that to the likability of the democratic ticket or just the repellant nature of the narrative of the lies Donald Trump is focus on . Man. Is it distasteful to a lot of americans even if they dont have opinions about haitian migrants. The debate did what the campaign wanted it to do. It created the contrast between the capable and smart Vice President and him. The Ugliness Of Trump and maga. It was on full display for 90 minutes and it changed the race. So i think that one of the things that is remarkable is there is generally a view in polling that we may never see a president again in positive territory. In favorables and unfavorables. And right now, harris is in either even favorable or even in some polls she is above. It is a big problem for the republicans because as we get to The End here, where people have to make their decisions, the people undecided, our side is seen as much more favorable in a much more favorable light than they are and i think that trump, the other thing is that trump continues to make this negative noise. I mean, i think that we have a joyous positive message to take to The American people. All they have is Anger And Ugliness and that will not serve them well when they are behind in the race. They dont have the ability to generate positive stories about their ticket anymore. Thats a big problem when you are losing. Do you think the teamsters nonendorsement matters . I think it is 56. 9. 59. 6 of the Union Supported a Trump Endorsement compared to 34 supporting harris. Does that worry you . Well see. We have to recognize that this ticket has more enthusiastic Union Support than any ticket in modern times. And we saw a lot of state and local teamsters in the battlegrounds endorse today. So though the national didnt endorse, in the battlegrounds where it matters you saw a lot of endorsements from local teamster union. So they will probably have the most enthusiastic Labor Support that the democratic tickets have in many decades. So i dont know if it will be consequential but we will see. I feel like the campaign has worked hard to make unions and workers central to everything they are doing. And they were very on display in the convention. I think we are in good shape. Certainly we have to try to pull as many of these teamsters in as possible. Simon, thank you. Really appreciate you. Always good to see you, thank you so much.

Images of the Accident Scene itself were taken from a 2018 incident in guam. Despite all that, this fake News Package has been viewed nearly 7 Million times on Let X are you can still watch it today. It was also shared on Facebook And Tiktok before the sites decided to take it down. All of that on its own is cause for concern but what makes this fake nose truly terrifying is that it appears to of been created as part of a new russian Disinformation Campaign targeting the harriswalz campaign. A new report from Microsoft Threat Analysis center finds that russia has begun ramping up its attacks on harris. Microsoft researchers found that the video we just showed you was produced by a russian Troll Farm. That same russian Troll Farm is also reportedly behind another fake viral Video Reporting to show two black Harris Support is attacking a white Trump Supporter outside a Trump Rally in johnstown, pennsylvania, a video that is expressly designed to stoke racial tension. It is no coincidence that we are just starting to see these things pop up now. According to microsoft, Russian Influence Operations initially struggled to make the pivot after Pets President biden withdrew from the race and endorsed Kamala Harris but now theyve apparently found their footing in Microsoft Expense will start seeing more and more russian disinformation in the lead up to election day. All of this comes at a time when Social Media Platforms like facebook and youtube has reportedly rollback their investments in combating misinformation, at a time when the Billionaire Owner of x is actively fueling the rise of misinformation himself, at a time when the rise of Artificial Intelligence has made it easier than ever to spread fake content on the internet and at the time when leaders of the republican party are doubling and tripling and quadrupling down on their own misinformation for pure political gain.

It was Chaos Today in lebanon is a second wave of exploding devices, Walkie Talkies belonging to members of the iranbacked vertical Party And Hezbollah killed at least 20 people and injured hundreds more. Yesterday hundreds of pages belonging to hezbollah were detonated killing at least 12 and injuring nearly 3000 others. U. S. Officials say this was a targeted attack by israel which was somehow able to tamper with the devices and turn them into deadly explosives. Joining me now is msnbc political analyst and thanks for joining us. My first thought is the scope of damage that is caused granted, they were trying to target hezbollah but children died in the course of this. Thousands of people were injured. How do you read israels motivations here . First of all theres been something to me thats been a little bit sickening about kind of the geewhiz is of the School Coverage to this. This is real life. These are peoples lives, including a lot of innocent people who have been killed and beyond just the destruction of human life, strategically, i have yet to hear anyone explain how this makes any sense. Israel went to fight a war In Gaza that Benjamin Netanyahu vowed would destroy hamas. You notice almost nobody in the israeli Security Establishment anymore claims that they can destroy hamas so if they could not destroy hamas, which is considerably weaker, why on earth would you believe that they could destroy hezbollah . They have a problem with hezbollah because hezbollah is launching rockets into north israel, but the answer to that is very clear. If you get a ceasefire In Gaza, hezbollahs rockets stop and you have the opportunity for diplomacy to bring those israelis back. Instead, having failed in one war you want to start a bigger one . I do wonder, is that what it is . Basically a distraction from failures In Gaza and the intent to stay at work whatever cost . I think thats partly it. I also think Benjamin Netanyahu and some of the people around him think they have this hammer. The Israeli Military can do technologically remarkable things and so they think every problem is a male. Weve had that problem in our own country. Israel cannot destroy the Feet Hezbollah militarily. As a political problem with the palestinian people and hezbollah is related to that problem. If you dont address that problem youre never going to have security for your own people, let alone palestinians and lebanese. Do you think this was some kind of twisted effort because israeli Security Forces failed so catastrophically on October 7th of proving they still have the ability to gather Intelligence And Warfare . Some people say this is going to restore deterrence but what does that mean nobody actually believes that you are going to solve your problem with hezbollah i doing all of these things . More likely youre going to get hezbollah to launch some of its rockets into israel, so then instead of not only the north of israel being uninhabitable, Tel Aviv will have to go underground and debunkers. Unless you deal with the political problem you will never solve your security problem. We are heading into the u. N. General assembly and i guess the question is, what does the biden administration do about all of this . They say they were caught unawares about all of this and it does not make anything easier for president biden or Kamala Harris . The biden administration simply cannot go around the world saying that the difference between america and adversaries like Russia And China is we believe in the rule of law. How many times have they said that and then continue to arm and protect israel when israel does things that are blatant violations of International Law . None of this is to say that hezbollah is a good actor, that hezbollah doesnt have blood on his hands but ultimately, the answer here is a political solution based on the rights and dignity of all of the people, and if you keep evading that
