That. And that is tonight's reid out. Go toby. Good evening from new york. I'm chris hayes, any minute now, vice president kamala harris will speak at a campaign event in the border town of douglas arizona. Right now you see the attorney general. We're going to bring that to you live as it happens. This is kamala harris' first visit to the border as a candidate. She will announce she plans to keep president biden's hard line crack down on asylum seekers in place. In fact, she may even make it more difficult to lift those restrictions. It is clearly a calculated move by her campaign. That will be a high issue. It consistently ranked among the top issues facing voters. Harris will also likely go after donald trump directly for his goal on killing the bipartisan bill that was hammered out earlier this year. She will decry trump's failures and his recent efforts to kill bipartisan solutions to it. She'll say the american people care more about border security than playing political games. It's worth noting, border crossings are down wildly across the board. About 70% since last august. That's according to the numbers that everyone relies on which is the customs and border protections. Harris has managed to narrow the game in polling about who is better equipped to handle the voting. Trump handles the lead but it's down 14 points since january. Hinojosa is founder of futuro media. She's been covering the border and life at the border. And fernando, they're joining me now. Fernando i'm going to go to you first about the politics. The politics here are straightforward. You ask people what are the big issues. The border or immigration which have been confided in ways that i think are terrible but okay. Tend to rank very high. You don't want to be 30 points down on salients issue. How do you see the riskreward politically here in today's address? well, chris. It's absolutely smart politics. Kamala harris has under as many nfl fans have over the years you don't win by playing the prevent defense. She's going on offense on this issue not only because it's smart politics and the polls suggest she's more than cut trump's lead in this immigration in half. She also has the moral authority on this issue because of what trump did over the summer where he himself sabotaged what would have been the most troubled system. It also shows kamala harris is not afraid to in essence be and do what needs to be done on this issue that a lot of people are concerned about. I think speaks to what the campaign is seeing internally that there is ground to be made up here and all of those points that they can make up in states like arizona, nevada. Two areas very close to the border that's only going to pay off dividends for kamala harris. Maria, obviously, i think as someone who has spent so much time reporting on this. It probably drives you, it drives me. The physical place of the border with immigration in general. And the way that narratives around that get created. All that said, what are you looking for substantively here because it signal what is harris signaled about the campaign. What would i like to see. I think what you would like to see is different than what you're expecting or looking for. The problem is you cannot out trump trump. So what trump has done in our country right is to push the whole conversation about immigration to this crazy point where someone it's normalized to be talking about immigrants eating people's pets in a country would not let anyone take their pet, let's be clear. Let's just be clear. But i think that's somehow part of the conversation. What i think she needs to do, okay let's get back to the center. Just be progressive which she needs to say is, there is no crisis here at the border. We just saw the numbers, the numbers are down. Therefor she should switch the conversation. She should say, let's not talk about mass deportation. How that's going to hurt you. Latino and latina voters. Even though you like trump, this is going to destroy your family. Remember when i. C. E. Was everywhere in our schools, and hospitals and churches. Remember when trump first went into office. That's not me. That's not me. This is part of navigating what is a difficult. The numbers are the numbers on the polling right. Whether through propaganda largely and through actual numbers. In december we saw large numbers of border crossings. We saw folks seeking asylum in cities across the country. It was a real thing. It wasn't a fiction of people's imagination. But to talk about the realness of whatever challenges there are in terms of the current asylum system. And the broken immigration system and also not just, end up in a situation where you're chasing trump. Right. Fernand. There is a place for democrats to own this message that has to be both and. Which is like, you can talk about the border. You can talk about the numbers going down. But by and large americans still support immigration. They still know immigrants in their lives that they feel fondly about. That they don't want to see made a mockery of or have their lives ruined. And there does seem to be a rhetorical space for a democratic candidate like kamala harris to send that message: there does and there is. And to her credit, i actually think she is threading that very tight needle when it comes to the issue. She is pointed out trump's draconian almost concentration style camp round them up and deport 11 million people. She's also made comment about what that would do to the american economy which is simply devastate and destroy it. She's also defended the history of asylum laws in this country, chris. We have that tradition which my family themselves and millions of other families around in the nation today have benefited from. But as you said a moment ago, there was a problem at the border. We were having record crossings. It was the biden harris administration which now brought that back to a more manageable level and what is kamala harris really saying? i'm going to add border security so we have a more efficient process. I'm going to prosecute the gangs. The criminal gangs to the extent there are some bad actors. Not a lot but some. Maybe getting through the border. And at the same time doing this so we can try to get our hands on the fentanyl crisis. There's a humanitarian approach that has been the ethos culture which kamala harris has supported. Who better than a former prosecutor with a history of thisish shaoup to try to make that case successfully. And i think she has done so. We have the vice president approaching the stage right now. She'll be speaking about immigration and the border there in douglas, arizona. Let's take a listen. Good afternoon, everyone. Hi. Good afternoon. Can we please applaud teresa and her extraordinary courage. Please, can we applaud. Extraordinary courage. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Please have a seat everyone. Thank you. It's good to be back in arizona. It is good to be back in arizona. Thank you all. Thank you so very much. Thank you, thank you i appreciate. Thank you so very much. I just want for a moment speak about teresa. We had some time together backstage. And you know. I think that, in moments of crisis such as the fentanyl crisis. There are people who through their suffering and their pain rise with courage in such a selfless way. To be a voice for others with the anticipation and the hope and the hard work of hoping that their story will be the reason other people don't have that story. And, you sharing your story about jacob and your advocacy on why we have to stop this scourge is important. And once again, i applaud teresa and i know we all do. And our need to stop this issue is one of the reasons that we are all here together today. I also want to thank the extraordinary elected officials who are here. Senator mark kelly came with me. And his extraordinary wife gabby giffords traveled with me from washington, d. C. To be here with me. And senator giffords has been talking to me about this extraordinary work. Thank you for your work. Attorney general chris mays. She is, you know one of i'm going to talk a bit about it in a minute. But some of the work that i have done in my career as attorney general, and watching her do the work that she has done as attorney general really does emphasize the importance of having the right leader at the right time, in the right place. And that's who she is. Mayor hewish i thank you for the warm welcome. We spent some time together. You shared with me the needs of your community. And i thank you for your leadership as well. And to all the elected and community leaders today thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives to be here this afternoon before i begin, i do want to say a few words about hurricane helene. I spoke this morning with our fema administrator chris well and president biden and i of course will continue to monitor the situation closely. We have mobilized more than 1,500 federal personnel to support those communities that have been impacted. We have food, water and generators that are ready for deployment. And. We are working to restore power for millions of people who currently are experiencing outages and i just want to stress and for the press that is here, to those who are watching, the storm continues to be dangerous. And deadly. And lives have been lost and the risk of flooding still remains high. So i continue to urge everyone to please continue to follow guidance from your local officials until we get past this moment. So thank you all and and now i'll speak about in particular the people who are here today and why we are gathered here together today. So arizona i think you all know and this is why you are here. There are consequential issues at stake in this election and one is the security of our border. The united states is a sovereign nation. I believe we have a duty to set rules at our border and to enforce them. And i take that responsibility very seriously. We are also a nation of immigrants. The united states has been enriched by generations of people who have come from every corner of the world to contribute to our country and to become part of the american story. So we must reform our immigration system to ensure that it works in an orderly way. That it is humane and that it makes our country stronger. So i have just come from visiting the border and the port of entry in douglas. I spoke with dedicated agents from border patrol and customs officers who ever day see the over flow of commercial traffic through the port. These men and women who work there and at other places along our southern border, help keep our nation secure. And they need more resources to do their jobs. Which is why we have and are in the process of investing half of million dollars to modernize and advance the port of entry here in douglas. And why last december i helped raise the rate of over time pay for border agents. And also why i strongly supported the comprehensive border security bill. Written last year as you know by a bipartisan group of senators including one of the most conservative members of the united states congress. That bill would have hired 1,400 more agents and officers. It would have paid for 100 inspection machines to detect fentanyl that is killing tens of thousands of americans every year. It would have allowed us to more quickly and effectively remove those who come here illegally and it would have been increased the number of immigration judges and asylum officers. It was the strongest border security bill we have seen in decades. It was endorsed by the border patrol union and it should be in effect today. Producing results in realtime right now for our country. But donald trump tanked it. He picked up the phone and called some friends in congress and said stop the bill. Because you see he prefers to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem. And the american people deserve a president who cares more about border security than playing political games and their personal political future. And so even though donald trump tried to sabotage the border security bill it is my pledge to you that as president of the united states, i will bring it back up and proudly sign it into law and let me say, the issue of border security is not a new issue to me. I have was attorney general of a border state for two terms. I saw the violence, and chaos that transnational criminal organizations cause. And the heartbreak and loss from the spread of their elicit drugs. I walked through tunnels that traffickers used to smuggle contraband into the united states. I've seen tunnels with walls as smooth as the walls of your living room complete with lighting and airconditioning making very clear that it is about an enterprise that is making a whole lot of money in the trafficking of guns, drugs and human beings. And my knowledge on how they work comes from the fact that i have prosecuted transnational criminals who traffic in gun, drugs and human beings. My team broke up a heroine trafficking ring. We took down a gang working with the sinaloa cartel to traffic methamphetamine into the united states. We seized millions of dollars worth of cocaine from the guadalajara cartel. And broke up a drug trafficking operation including pill mills and so called recovery centers that were pushing opioids with deadly results. As attorney general of california, it was 10 years ago i brought a bipartisan group of american attorneys general, and led that group to travel to mexico city to meet with mexican attorneys general. To address this issue and in particular to i kraoez intelligence sharing on gang activity. All of which allowed us to prosecute more human traffickers. And i started as attorney general the first comprehensive report in the state of california analyzing transnational criminal organizations and the threat they pose to the economy. So stopping transnational criminal organizations and strengthening our border, is not new to me and it is a long standing priority of mine i have done that work and i will continue to treat it as a priority. When i am elected president of the united states. And it is my pledge to you, understanding how solutions get formed. That i will reach across the aisle and i will embrace common sense and new technologies to get the job done. Because i know, transnational gangs coming across the border could care less who somebody voted for in the last election. They could care less. They've got one goal in mind. And it is therefor critical important that anyone who calls themselves a leader, would work with other leaders for common sense solutions understanding the pain and the suffering that americans are experiencing if we don't work together to fix these problems. And look, transnational gangs one of the things i know about them they are always innovating. So to disrupt them, we must do the same. And that means again working together in realtime. Grounded on finding common sense approaches. Not just about some rhetoric at a rally but actually doing the work of fixing a problem. And as president i won't only bring back the border security bill that donald trump tanked i will do more to secure our border. To reduce illegal border crossings, i will take further action to keep the border closed between ports of entry. Those who cross our borders unlawfully will be apprehended and removed and barred from reentrying for five years. We will pursue for severe criminal charges against repeat violaters. And if someone does not make an asylum request at a legal point of entry, and instead crosses our border unlawfully, they will be barred from receiving asylum. While we understand that many people are desperate to migrate to the united states, our system must be orderly and secure and that is my goal. And that is my goal. Securing our border also means addressing the flow. Of fentanyl into our communities. Fentanyl is a skort on our country. The nature of it as a drug is such that it is highly addictive and it is highly lethal. So much so that using it one time only can be fatal. I have met far too many families parents. Loved ones who have lost a family member, a child. To fentanyl and their grief is heartbreaking. And the devastation caused by fentanyl is being felt from rural communities to big cities. It is impacting every geographic that you choose to talk about. It's a scorch on our community and as a president i will make it my top priority to disrupt the flow of fentanyl coming into the united states. And i know everyone here understands that most of the fentanyl in america comes from two cartels based in mexico. Most often they are smuggling it through vehicles at legal ports of entry like the one i visited today. The fact is, border officers don't have enough resources. And are only able to search a fraction of the vehicles that pass through their check points. This is unacceptable. They need the resources to do their jobs. And as we could have done with that border security bill, i will surge support more personnel, technology. And systems that can detect fentanyl in vehicles. And we will make sure that the ports of entry including airports and sea ports have additional state of the art technology to detect fentanyl and the chemical tools used to make it. I will also double the resources for the department of justice. To extradite and prosecute transnational criminal organizations and the cartels. Yes, i will ensure that we target the entire global fentanyl supply chain because we must materially and sustain pwhreu sustainably disrupt fentanyl coming through our borders. The chemicals are by and large made in china and then shipped to cartels and trafficked right here into the united states. Our administration demanded that china crack down on the companies that make those chemicals. And it has started to happen. But they need to do more. As president i will hold them to their commitment to significantly reduce the flow of precursor chemicals coming from china. And all of this to say, we must tackle this issue from every angle. Because, our highest charge must be to protect the lives of our people. It must be, to understand the pain and to have the courage to know that solutions are at hand if we focus on fixing a problem instead of running on a problem. Running on a problem. And on this issue, writ large we must ensure that our country remains strong and competitive. Which includes fixing our broken immigration system. Let me be clear, i reject the false choice. I reject the false choice that suggests we must either choose between securing our border, or creating a system of immigration that is safe, orderly and humane. We can and we must do both. We must do both. And we need clear legal path ways for people seeking to come into our country. And we must make our current system work better. For example, it can take years for asylum claims to be decided. Well this is a problem we can solve. Including by hiring more asylum officers and expanding processing centers in people's home countries. And as president, i will work with congress to create at long last a path way to citizenship for hard working immigrants who have been here for years. For years. And deserve to have a system that works. I also have in mind our dreamers. I have met i have met with so many of our dreamers throughout my career. They who have grown up in the united states. Were educated here, pay taxes here. Serve in our military and contribute to our communities every day. They are american in every way. But still, they do not have an earned path way to citizenship. And this problem has gone unsolved at this point now for decades. The same goes for farm workers. Who ensure that we have food on our tables and who sustain our agricultural industry and they too have been in legal limbo for years. Because politicians have refused to come together to fix our broken immigration system. Well as president, i will put politics aside to fix our immigration system and find solutions, solutions to problems which have persisted for far too long. For far too long we have all known this is not working as it can and as it should. And so as i said at the beginning, these issues are highly consequential for our nation. And the contrast in this election is clear. It is a choice between common sense solutions, and the same old political games. In the four years that donald trump was president, he did nothing to fix our broken immigration system. He did not solve the shortage of immigration judges. He did not solve the shortage of border agents. He did not create lawful path ways into our nation. He did nothing to address an outdated asylum system. And did not work with other governments in our hemisphere to deal with what clearly is also a regional challenge. As over doses went up during his presidency, he fought to slash funding for the fight against fentanyl. And what did he do instead? well let's talk about that. He separated families. He ripped toddlers out of their mother's arms. Put children in cages and tried to end protections for dreamers. He made the challenges at the border worse. And he is still and he is still fanning the flames of fear and division. And let me be clear,s that not the work of a leader. That is not the work of a leader. And that is in fact, i think we all believe an abdication of leadership. And so, on behalf of all across our nation who want to see these problems solved. I say we cannot accept donald trump's failure to lead. We should not permit scapegoating. Instead of solutions and let's see what's happening, let's not permit scapegoating instead of solutions or rhetoric instead of results. As your president i will protect our nation's sovereignty, secure our border, and work to fix our broken system of immigration. And i will partner with democrats, republicans and independents to do it. Arizona, it is time for us to turn the page. On the ugly battles that have characterized our politics. And it is time to move forward together, to achieve real solutions that make our country stronger. And i know we can get this done, i know we have the will. I know we have the courage. I know the solutions are at hand. And i know we are ready and so with all of that, i say thank you may god bless you and may god bless the united states of america. Thank you. Vice president kamala harris wrapping up her first campaign event at the border since she became the democratic candidate for president. She is in douglas, arizona where she announced her plan for immigration. Still with me, maria hinojosa and fernando. So it took about 20 minutes for her to switch the conversation from fentanyl, immigrants, crime, drugs etc. Transnational gangs, border, security. Which is basically saying, oh my god at the border that's all you're seeing. Gangs, trafficking. That's not all you're seeing. But she did make the switch. You and i were both like, oh my gosh did she just talk about dreamers. Did she just say that she's really going to try to create a path way to citizenship. That phrase stuck out to me because that phrase. You've been covering immigration longer than i have but i've been covering it for a minute as well. That phrase has been annihilated. Both of us said, we haven't hear that in a while. In that sense, i would have gone a step further to say, i am the daughter of immigrant. I am you, you are me, believe in me because the rhetoric. What didn't she say. Not rhetoric but solutions. Results. Not rhetoric but results. And she said painting all immigrants as criminals is factually wrong. Fentanyl overdoses have turned. She herself has to turn the page on rhetoric. Having said that i'm going to give her a few points. You know i'm highly critical. I'm highly critical because our country should be doing better, chris. This is fernand, the theory. They executed on that theory. There's a person who's a kind of brain maniac and a demagogue who isn't interested in results and i can take the energy that sort of dark energy that's there that's being thrown at migrants and i can take out people's real concerns and address them in a practical plain spoken way and cut through that was the goal here how effective do you think it was? chris, that speech is why kamala harris is going to win this election. Right now there's groups dial testing. What is the reaction to that. That thing was off the charts extraordinary. Between the clintonian phrase of making this immigration false choice. We're not going to allow that. We're going to make it safe, orderly and humane. Kind of a play of clinton's legal rare the way he addressed the immigration issue, kind of thorny. She gave a speech that didn't sound like an open borders. She said i'm a responsible leader. I'm going to solve this problem. I'm not going allow demagogues to do that. I'm going to be humane about how we treat this and i'm going to respect the work that immigrants have responded to the country. Whether it's those who have been here for decades, dreamers or the ones that want to come and seek the coming here legally. What we're seeing is a candidate that's growing by leaps and bounds. Just a terrific speech by kamala harris. I think it was a very effective speech. The thing i worry about. Everything she said is true. There are transnational gangs. Those gangs are bringing fentanyl in. All the things she said about the precursor chemicals going from china to mexico it is true. Fentanyl is a scourge. All that is true. To the extent you light up the parts of people's amygdala. You're lighting up the amygdala that is looking to vote for donald trump. If i'm kamala harris and you're looking at numbers you're looking at young latino and latina voters and they want to hear what she ultimately turned to which is a path way. Some want to hear the first thing too. I was just in miami and a lot of you in miami want to hear that first part. I was just in miami and it is a very scary situation where you have latinos saying things like they need to build that wall. They need to build that wall and make it bigger and i say are you serious. But young latinos and latinas can be that part of the electoral that moves it toward her. And she needs to do that consciously. Absolutely consciously. The sort of pragmatism. I agree with you on that fernando. One they're ripping toddlers from their mothers. The thing that drives me crazy about his coverage in 2024. He was not president, they could have passed a bill. They did nothing. They did nothing. They got a little bit of wall money was what they got. I thought that too fernando about he was president, he had a house and a senate and they did nothing on any of this was a good reminder. Chris you're hitting on all the points. The beauty was the simplicity and had a narrative. We had a solution and donald trump sabotaged it. So this is what i'm going to do. This is what the bill would have done and if elected president here is what i'm going to solve on these issues. Just from a simple narrative perspective i thought it was great. Let me push back on my friend maria, who i have a lot of respect for. And i know this is a passion for her. Why is she doing this? i've been in several presidential campaigns. If there's a negative narrative, you ignore it. Why is she doing it? because it's working. She's taken donald's lead and slashed it. It's going to get into the low single digits. Remember every time he loses advantage on that issue and the economy he has nothing else because she's ahead on every one of the other issues. I don't think you could have asked for a better, more thoughtful, more sober and serious speech compared to the unseriousness and frankly the cruelty of what the trump campaign is offering. Which is where i would go. What she needs to say is, mass deportations let's talk about what that looks like. I'm going to make sure those families are not separated. Flip it over. And the mass deportations that are definitely on the table and. That was great. Both of you. Thank you so much for sticking around and being so flexible.

As of right now there is just one debate left on the calendar before election day. On tuesday night, vice presidential candidates j. D. Vance and tim walz will face off for what may be the last time for candidates to contrive their message. Vance and walz have taken very different ways of campaigning. It seems like jd vance is always talking to the media. Often with pretty disastrous results. In the polling average, vance's favorability is 11 points under water. He will say the most unpopular thing no matter how much it will make people dislike him. It goes back to childless cat ladies. I don't like this, i don't like to admit this. I don't like that this is a fact of life. But if you're, if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets. You have a lot of people saying my pets are being abducted or geese at the city pond are being abducted or being slaughtered in front of us. Today we got more headlines. The washington post obtained messages vance sent to an acquaintance harshly criticizing then president trump in february of 2020. Vance wrote in part, trump has just so thoroughly failed to deliver on his economic populism. In another, a few months later. Vance predicted i think trump will probably lose. I certainly hope we get to hear vance try to wiggle himself out of this one at the debate just a few days from now. Director of syracuse where she's been running focus groups most recently with male voters. And she's also a contributor at axios. They join me now. Michelle. Some of what j. D. Vance is doing is not intentional. A lot of this stuff that people don't like about him are things he was saying in right wing athletes when he was trying to win a very right wing primary for senate. But since he's become a nominee he hasn't changed and i think basically a kamikazi mission, and i don't care. I'm going to deliver this poison every day. How to you read it? i think that's going to be his approach in the debate. People don't like him so he can be mean and vicious. What he needs to do. Right now tim walz is one of the most popular politicians in the country, right. Even after fears of his military service and attacks on his life. So what j. D. Vance has to do is drag tim walz into the mud with him. I think he will be pretty vicious and skillful at trying to do that. But what i hope tim walz. You remember his washington story. I think this is a bomb shell and i think the political media and the political world is under reacting to this. Because we all knew that j. D. Vance said all of these things about donald trump. Compared him to hitler and heroine. So his story for why he is now on the ticket is donald trump's presidency changed his mind. Donald trump's presidency proved him wrong. So here he has. Here he is saying that donald trump failed and the thing that donald trump supporters kind of point to as the central reason why he should be returned to office. This is just, i think this undoes the entire narrative that j. D. Vance has tried to spin. It's so incumbent on tim wals to make that clear to people. Not just to make that clear to people. But just as kamala harris needled donald trump when he was on stage with her, is what walz should do. He's not going to be happy to find out that j. D. Vance verdict on him. Yeah the running mate secretly declared your presidency a failure is a pretty big story. Margaret, you've pwfpb been doing these focus groups with young men, j. D. Vance could be considered a young man. Tim walz not so much. These are our focus groups with syracuse engages and nbc news, we're sort of split among men who lean toward trump and men who lean toward kamala harris. The trend we saw very clearly. Those voters that were very skeptical but leaning toward trump were doing so either because they really like trump or because they don't like harris. But the other group. The voters leaning towards harris were leaning toward harris because they don't like trump. It's not harris in particular they're enamored with. In many ways they see her as the lesser of two evils. I think with the debate coming up. Usually vice presidential debates are not very the visible. The lower half of the ticket you see both you see not just with women but with men that tim walz is the most popular candidate. So it's possible that he has the ability to help solidify some of those voters who were men and leaning toward harris but not completely confident. On the other hand, vance really does have an opportunity to take tim walz down a peg or two. So the dynamic i'm going to be looking for is sort of the flip of what both men are known for. Is it going to be more heart and relatability. Are we going to see more for tim walz. Donald trump is the oldest man to run for president since biden dropped out.
