Tonight donald trump grows more unhinged as the election draws closer. Now, he and his allies are trying to change the rules of the voting game after kickoff. Plus we'll kamala harris make a run for the board sure why her campaign is weighing a visit on a vulnerable issue. Also latest to prove that a simple google search can't even cure america's misinformation epidemic and why one rivalries, racial framing is a mirror to the presidential race and society live at the table. Scott jennings, bakari sellers erinperrine and jamelle oh, hill, with 42 days to go, americans with different perspectives aren't talking to each other. But here they do good evening. I'm abby phillip in new york. Let's get right to what america is talking about. The closer the election, the more unhinged donald trump is getting. Here is a sampling of just some of his posts in the last 48 hours. He baselessly says that the fbi is purposefully mishandling the second assassination attempt against him. He baselessly says democrats are rigging votes from americans overseas. He and his allies are actively working to change election laws in several states. He's making false claims about women. He's saying that if vice president harris is against catholics. He's still pushing debunked pet eating conspiracies and he posted then deleted a conspiracy about diddy, and harris. He's attacking jimmy kimmel, abc even oprah there's a lot going on here with trump. It seems like the weekend he's free, he's got a lot of time on his hands. Maybe he's golfing, but he has a lot to say and no character limits on truth, social with i mean, some of these posts are like giant paragraphs and they don't make a lot of sense you will no longer be thinking about abortion. He says to women, because it is now where it as always has, always had to be with the states i mean, that's just one of many things that he had to say this weekend. But almost none of it is to the point of what i think republicans want this election to be about presumptively well, i mean, it's stuff that's in the news. I mean, let's let's take the assassination issue with the fbi. I have real concerns about why they released this second assassins letter. I mean, i think a lot of republicans are like why, why is this guy's letter in his call for trump to be assassinated and his $150,000 whatever i, think there's legitimate gripe that he has. I mean, there's other shootings that have gone on this country and the people's manifesto is under lock and key and we can't find it. Somehow this letter is out. I think i think it's a real a real great the alleged assassin. He had a hearing today, so that's one of the reasons. I mean, i'm not even sure what's the point that trump is trying to make? what does that have to do? there? first, what does that institute with winning. Let me just think. He, this guy clearly said in his letter he wanted to assassinate trump and because he failed, he wants other people to do it. And i don't know about you, but it's a crazy environment there. Once you're crazy people out there seems to be a clarion call for this is where it's no3 scott and i will agree we're going to progressively got to start off i wish that the fbi and whomever the florida state law enforcement agency come together and figure out and get to the root of this assassination attempt on donald trump. We don't need to see this political violence has no place in it. You can say those things. We can also have a conversation about but the fact that you know, the mass shootings we see in the country and the attempts on president trump's life, all include ar 15s. And if you want to have a conversation about gun control when it comes to donald trump and assassination attempts. Let's do it. Let's have it here on abby phillips show. I don't think that's where you all want to go, but the other point is that yes, i think you're right. He's becoming unhinged he's tweeting like outwit tweet late at night after a couple of bottles of casamigos he is just sending out paragraph at the paragraph, i believe scott, that you would much rather him talk about the border immigration and things that matter to the american people than what he tweets about night in, night out. And i think that is what the american people don't want when they think about him as president of the united states he is the, he's emblematic of chaos. And that's what you see on truth, social, and he's once again claiming that democrats are going to cheat this time. He says that they're talking about how they're working so hard to get millions of votes from americans living overseas actually, they are getting ready to cheat. Heat. They want dilute the true vote of our beautiful military and their families. There's no evidence of this. I think that's correct, but there's also a really rigorous process, including when you are abroad to make sure that you can verify not only your voting status in the united states, but the state you live in. Those standards are really important not only to donald trump, but to republicans writ large when it comes to what they talk about, when it comes to election security as he tried to take it, as he tried to. Sow these seeds and not just a doubt, but to do what he did the last time does it say that the whole thing is rigged just because he says so, i think it's fair to ask questions and i think it's fair to be able to pursue the legal process in the united states if you have questions regarding the outcome of the election, the problem is when it goes be onto that, when it becomes more than that, there are legal avenues and means to be able to do anything when it comes to the election, to be able to question how it ended up. If it's whether it's the counting or or the timing the polls closed or how the ballots were received. There's 1 million different legal avenues. That's the only thing that should be pursued, which are the legal avenues to make sure that every legal vote you saying that they're cheating and they're saying they're getting ready let's let's be fair he's saying they're getting ready to cheat with no evidence of that whatsoever. But what is also happening is all across the country, we're seeing this battle starting to play out, the fight over how people well vote in georgia, in nebraska, in arizona republicans in those states, especially the ones that are aligned with trump, they are trying to change how the accounting works, change how ballots are going to be evaluated in georgia, they're changing how many times they have to hand and count the votes in that state. Hand cat know, i mean, what they're going to use a advocates like what are we doing here because you said it perfectly. All of this, all of this nonsense, because donald trump, over and over just keeps proven he's not a serious person. And even what he has a serious point, i agree with you is that it's not a good idea to probably published an assassin's letter because especially given that he's inviting other people to a call to violence but i can't even take that seriously because what all this other nonsense is about it. And so now what he is doing, his level setting, all he's doing is saying hey, they're trying to cheat, hey, they're trying to cheat which is so funny to me because in some of these same the last election in some of these same races where republicans won. So let me get this right. They're only trying to cheat when you lose. But when republicans when that's when the cheating doesn't happen. So i just i'm just trying to keep up. And so thankfully he's not on twitter. He's not on some of these other platforms that i follow because i find this constant barrage of just complete stupidity to be something that just wears you down, like at some point, i want him to present a hopeful vision for the country, right? to just say, hey, this is, this is what we can do here. This is how we can do things together. And that's the biggest difference that i see between him and kamala harris. Like i actually feel like there's hope out there. I listened to donald trump for five minutes. And it just makes me want to leave and move somewhere else because why would i subject myself to this? i love the hope argument because listen, everybody loves the field goods. Everybody loves the vibe. Everybody wants to feel that the country is heading in the better direction and right direction. Wrong direction is something that is pulled consistently in this country. But vibes don't win election. And you know what actually motivates motors the most? our negative tv ads when it comes to be able to drive, i'm telling you, voters tell focus groups all the time they hate negative tv ads, but that emotion, emotion is really what drives a lot of politics. Do i feel my family's going to be safer? do i feel like i'm going to get more in my paycheck. Do i feel that it makes sense those are to meet legitimate questions. Difference between that and trying to actually by are people to help me that one of whether or not they're eating your cats or dogs in their report, my 99 pound dog is still doing very well. Pumpkin today but him for a week georgia george, i talked to i've talked to a lot of operatives in georgia. I've been trying to figure out what's going on there. The board of elections removed the only elected official from the board of elections and it's now purely appointed. They have no legal authority to change the rules from what i'm hearing from georgia operatives if they want to try and force a full hand count, the ballots they don't have the means to it. The board of elections, should this be challenged in court, which there's a full anticipation. Let me also this likely wouldn't hold on. And so for them at this point, they don't see anything changing in a lot of counties already do the hand count after it runs through the machine anyways, i want to give a shout out to a republican while we're here in this kumbaya segment. But state senator mike mcdonald, he is a gop senator from the great city of omaha, nebraska. And he is someone who stood up and said, i guess time i was born probably appreciate this, but you can't change the rules in the fourth quarter. He's probably going to be the future mayor of omaha. I mean, somebody who was a democrat pratt had different issues on social issues. I understand it. Left the democratic party is now a republican, but at least he put democracy over. Why are you mad about that? because he didn't change the rules. I'm just waiting for you to know. I'm just say what it didn't change the waiting patiently, you gave me my wife's side i was wondering what's after labor this is sultry, great white but center mcdonald put he put country over party and we don't have enough of that to the point about changing the rules and all these other things and democracy matters. What say you can't change the rules in the fourth quarter, but you can change a candidate. Look, democrats been trying to change the rules all year. They tried to get trump thrown off the ballot earlier this year. That didn't work, then they changed their candidate well past the point he had already won the primary. I mean, look, both parties are constantly scraping and can i don't i don't particularly care what they do in nebraska. It doesn't sound like it's going to happen to me. But why is it offensive for one party to try to get an advantage while the other party has been trying to do can i debunk this notion that a lot of republicans, i come on this air and said that we have changed the rules are all of a sudden kamala harris yeah. I've been in a primary. I mean, that we, beat that horse deaths. We've gotten my beat him one more time. I'm sorry. I mean, president won the primary pelosi showed up and through with one more thing this is from trump actually tonight we were talking earlier about springfield. This is the story that, that he won't he won't let it go. And here's what he said tonight and pennsylvania do you think springfield will ever be the same? i don't think the fact is and i'll say it now you have to get them the hell out. You have to get them out. I'm sorry no, that's embarrassing. Really that's embarrassing. Dead him as a presidential candidate was say that, and it's more it's equally as embarrassing to the people there would pick up on that. Can. So as we're having this conversation about political language and how that's inciting people. I'm looking at this and it makes it that much harder for when the republicans especially want to have a conversation about political language when something happens to trump, but don't want to have a conversation about that. He effectively put a target on a fine communities back, a community that has done nothing but contributed. Do all the things that you say that you want legal immigrants or legal immigrants to do, they've done all these things. They work hard. They've contributed their held up as bastions of their community and to put that target on their back. Again, just to understand a serious person, you're talking about legal immigrants in this country i was watching a piece earlier tonight on cnn. They were evangelical christians, their interests, they've got families, they've got kids in school, they own businesses. They are working. They're paying taxes. Yeah. So why why why the send them back chance and then also why say you got to get them the hell out? yeah, they are here under a current legal process. I do think there's a legitimate debate to be had about that process versus the normal way that immigrants come into the country. That's because normal ways that immigrants have come into this case. But i think it's a legitimate policy debate about whether the executive branch should just grant this kind of status to large populations. And when you do drop large populations and the communities, there is a debate about the societal, cultural and governance impacts of it, but it's perfectly legitimate to be have that having been said, these people are here legally. And there's a difference between those people right now in the people that have come in here illegally by the millions during the bidenharris administration. So there is an appetite in the country to deal with illegal immigration. The people who've come here and trump right now is winning on that. And i think most americans see it his way when it comes to mass deportation, what he was doing tonight, i mean, what he was doing tonight was really dark and it had nothing to do with people coming across the border. The southern border. He wasn't making any kind of even remotely nuanced argument about that. But he's just saying they're not like us and them back he's not capable of doing that and the problem is that we are less than 50 days out from this election cycle and so the playbook has changed a little bit when he was running against joe biden. He was very disciplined. He was on message and now the playbook is back to the normal isms that donald trump uses. I mean, he uses xenophobia and racism as political currency. It's us versus them, be once your country could it become browner or not? i mean, we're not having a conversation about irish migrants were not having a congress that cranial, where ukrainian to be fair, he does say paddywagon and that is actually considered like an offense to the irs i haven't heard that in a long period of time. He and i have not. Done that even he's talking that i haven't heard him. I haven't heard him put a target on the back of those individuals. And so like let's also be clear here at rallies with democrats, you have heard them chant, lock him up about donald trump. This is a rhetoric problem on both sides. Know it is not even. Trying to do what about ism here? i'm not trying to say this, but that's what effectively did know what i said was this happens political discourse like this happens on both sides. I didn't say one was better than the other and i know, but let me just let me because i don't think i don't think that's out there. That's a level of intellectual dishonesty. Well, i think it's someone who's been to talk about what both sides are doing when it comes once the conversation when you have someone convicted of 34 felony counts, convicted of write in, someone says lock them up, and then the person on the stage says, no, we're not going to lock them up. We're going to vote them out, right? that's what kamala harris says. We're going to shift the language that's one thing. But when you had these, when you have these people who are of color, right? who were brown and black, who come from a country which has been decimated through natural disaster to political corruption, who are only coming here to contribute to this. American society. The way they do, and the people who they work for say they're good citizens. The people who they pay taxes to say they're good citizens, you're not then you bastardized them by saying that they are the least amount of human being by saying they eat our dogs and our cats. That is not the intellectual equivalents. And so yeah, i have a problem with lock them up chants at i rallies. I do. So does commonly hears. She puts her foot in the ground, also have a problem with him bastardizing black and brown people in st. Get them out the country because of something happens to a little brown boy or girl who was haitian and ohio that's on his hands and they have a bullet or a bullseye is probably the better term on their back. And it won't just happen to haitian immigrants in that city. That becomes then the wider scope of how people see haitian immigrants period, which is why it's a problem all right, guys, everyone stick around coming up next violent crime in the united states is down. That is despite trump using it to attack harris plus janet jackson, she repeatedly made some false claims about harris is race, but it's a too late to control the damage man, a hot dog is not a sandwich. It's meet between bread. No, it's more like a taco and i weigh in on this debate tapper. He is a sandwich, always two pieces of bread if yes, then a hotdog is not a sandwich. But the department of agriculture defined sandwiches as meat between break head or a bond, which i suppose would include burgers. Hello, burgers. Now that's a sandwich no way what happened at mr. Everything's a sandwich, kind of flip flop. Flip flop what about subs? you mean hoagies? when it comes to amgen, life changing medical breakthroughs. Every second counts.

Now at walmart, we all know costs are too high, but while corporations are gouging families, trump is focused on giving them tax cuts. But kamala harris is focused on you building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency she'll make groceries more affordable by cracking down on price gouging. And she'll cut housing costs by taking on corporate speculators. Middle class families build america we need a leader who has their back and kamala harris and i approve this message in hospital every second counts are caregivers provide critical care and can give patients.
