Transcripts For MSNBC Ana Cabrera Reports 20240905

Good morning. Great to have you with us. It is 10 00 eastern, 7 00 a. M. Pacific. Im Ana Cabrera reporting from New York. It is a busy day ahead in the race for the White House. Less than a week until the debate, and the rules for that face off still unsettled as the nominees and their running Mates Branch out in four different directions today. Former President Trump will be back in pennsylvania for a talk with Fox News ally. And Vice President Harris Heads to New Hampshire. Our Garrett Haake is in washington tracking the Trump Campaign. Also with us, former Chief Strategist for the 2012 romney campaign, and former clinton adviser, richard goodstein. Yamiche, what will we hear from the Vice President this afternoon, and why New Hampshire . Reporter well, its a good question. Good morning, ana. The Vice President is here because she really wants to lean in on the economic messaging here. Of course, New Hampshire is not seen by many as a battleground state, but shes here because there are other offices that democrats want to be competitive in, including the governors office. Right now its held by a republican. Theyre hoping to retake that and make it a democratic state. Theyre also hoping to retain control of two congressional seats, and there are down ballot races. Shes hoping that coming here will reenergize people, but shes also rolling out a new economic proposal and i want to read to you part of the proposal. She wants to propose a tenfold expansion of the Tax Credit for starting a Small Business that would go from 5,000 to 50,000. Thats aimed, the campaign says, to meet the average 40,000 cost of starting a business. She also wants to simplify Tax Filings and ease local regulations, and shes setting the goal of having 25 Million new Small Businesses apply. Shes hoping that this will garner people and motivate people to start Small Businesses if this proposal becomes law. Those are some of the things shes going to be rolling out. Were going to hear from her this idea that she wants to be a president for all americans, and that includes people having access to the middle class, and having the freedom to have an Opportunity Economy that works for them. Were going to hear that in a few hours. Meantime, garrett, in pennsylvania, thats a state that both camps have been focused on. Is a Town Hall with his pal Sean Hannity an effective way to grow his appeal . Maybe not to grow his appeal to new voters but galvanize the people already supporting him. Hell be in harrisburg, pennsylvania, and ive covered several in that media market. Pennsylvania is the biggest, the most important swing state, so any excuse to be there is probably a good one. Also, given the Town Hall format, and who knows if the questions will be sort of overly friendly or not to Donald Trump, but a Town Hall can serve as kind of a Back Doorway to do Debate Prep for a candidate who doesnt like to do Debate Prep. And the problem for trump, i think, remains his ability to stay future focused, focused on Kamala Harris, and not so much focused on previous elections, including 2020 where, once again yesterday, he flirted with acknowledging that he actually lost the race before pivoting back to talk about his favorite subject, fraud. Lets listen to trump on a podcast interview yesterday. I became president , then the second time i got millions more votes than i got the first time. I was told if i got 63 million, which is what i got the first time, you would win, you cant not win. And i got millions more votes than that, and lost by a whisker. I think the election was a fraud, and many people felt it was that and they wanted answers. And when you Cant Challenge an election you have to be able to challenge it. Trump is correct that he got millions more votes in 2020 than 2016. The problem is that Joe Biden got millions more votes in 2020 than Donald Trump did. The other part of this, of course, his idea that you Cant Challenge an election is just false. Donald trump did challenge the election, there were recounts in multiple states. He filed dozens of court cases, all of which were rejected or thrown out for various reasons. The Bottom Line is still the Bottom Line. He lost in 2020 and every day he spends talking about it in 2024 its probably unhelpful to him in trying to win this time around. Garrett haake, and yamiche, Thank You for that reporting. Richard, lets talk about what Vice President harris is focus on this, this tax break, this plan, and juxtaposing it with Donald Trumps corporate tax breaks. How do you see that resonating with voters . Goldman sachs said this morning the trump plan, between the deportations and Tax Cuts and tariffs would increase inflatiOn And reduce gdp, whereas the Harris Plan would raise them. Moody says the same thing. The list goes On And on. Its not just democrats talking, these are independent experts. Look, shes trying to accelerate what really was a masterful accomplishment under biden, 5. 5 new Business Starts Last year. The last three years set records for new business starts. Shes just trying to expand on that. Trump, meanwhile, is talking about the tariffs which, again, will be very inflationary, and i think ultimately counterproductive in terms of appealing to the voters, if the whole idea is to talk about inflation. Shes talking about dealing with price gouging, hes going to increase tariffs up to 60 . In most polls the economy is still the top issue, so youve got to talk about it, talk to them on that issue specifically. We have some interesting new Battleground Polling out today from cnn. Stewart, georgia, nevada, Pennsylvania Neck in neck, harris ahead in wisconsin and michigan. Trump ahead in arizona. All of it within the margin of error. Whats really interesting, between 11 and 15 of voters in these key states say they could still change their minds. Does that surprise you . No, thats pretty typical. Unless youre a diehard for one candidate or not, you could change your mind, sure, why not. Americans like choices and like to wait up until the last minute to decide. What really strikes me about today is that one campaign is having an event that is centered on policy. You can talk about whether or not its good policy or bad policy. It looks very good to me. But what is trump . Its this Grievance Tour and its this lack of Messaging And Lack of policy that is at the core of the Trump Campaign. This mass deportations, i dont know how to break it to the trump people, this is not a popular thing. People do not want to line up millions and millions of buses and go around rounding up people who might be helping them in a business. Tariffs, they are not popular. You walk into a walmart and everything is going to cost 30 more. Really . Thats a good thing . So theres a kind of intellectual element to this, a Policy Element to it that really shows the failure of the republican party to come up with new policy. We once called it the party of new ideas. Substitute it for something that people care about. I think that that is increasingly going to become apparent in this campaign, because trump just keeps saying the same thing over and over and over. Theres also the question of how these campaigns are getting their messages and those Policy Ideas to the voters. Tim walz, we know, is in Pennsylvania Today and tomorrow, we mentioned how trump has his Town Hall in pennsylvania. The New York times reports the Harris Camp has opened its 50th Pennsylvania Office over labor day weekend, 16 of those 50 offices are actually in rural counties that trump won by double digits in 2020. Richard, what does this approach tell you . It tells you a lot. The fact is, trumps own people dont trust him. They want to mute the mic. They might as well put a Dog Collar on him and a Shock Collar because they dont trust him to talk to anybody other than the base, Sean Hannity. Whereas kamala is going into rural areas in georgia and elsewhere, opening these offices in very rural areas of pennsylvania. Theyre reaching out. Theyre trying to expand. Trump famously said, i dont need more votes. Hes kind of making it clear he really thinks hes going to have to find some way to rig things himself, or hes not going to have the votes. And he keeps spouting this nonsense, that has to be counterproductive in the Long Run for anybody who is undecided. So the arlington national Cemetery Dispute Hasnt faded for trump. Now john mccains son, jimmy, an army officer, said trumps episodes like this with veterans are what prompted him to register as a democrat. Watch. Arlington cemetery is sacred to all people who are members of the military, all people who have served in a uniform. Its a sacred area. Theres three generations of mccains buried there. Its a violation because these rules are set in place. The people buried there dont have an opinion. As much as i stayed as an independent, i decided that it was time to move On And do what i believe in. The fact of the matter, he said it constantly, country first. Thats john mccains son. Could this carry some weight in the important state of arizona . Yeah, of course it does. I think it carries beyond arizona. You know, this goes back to the moment that Donald Trumps campaign should have got, if the republican party had any sort of Decency Or Shame left, when he attacked john mccain, said that he liked War Heroes that werent captured. A lot of us when we heard that, we said 15, it was, we say, its over, hes finished. But he wasnt. And thats when i think a lot of us began to learn that the republican party we belong to was not the republican party we thought that we belonged to. That there was a great difference between what we said were values and what were actually being used as marketing slogans. I think this is a terrible issue for the Trump Campaign. On some level we know it, but inside that Trump Campaign you can never just let anything go. You have to always double down, because he isnt capable of making a mistake. So he does something like this that is offensive to the majority of people, Photo Ops in front of a grave in arlington cemetery, and he has to keep talking about it. And the one thing you can control in a campaign is what you talk about. Right. So you have the Harris Campaign talking about this plan to start new jobs, Small Businesses, and hes out here still talking about arlington cemetery. Thats not getting him any votes. Exactly what hes saying, youve got to Add Votes to win. He lost by 7 million. So when you talk about how its the candidates who keep going there, even his running mate, j. D. Vance, is saying this on fox last night, again, related to this issue of military support. Nobody wants to put on a uniform and serve in Kamala Harriss military. This is a person who wants the united States Army to be about gender, inclusion, ridiculous diversity politics instead of about serving your country and uniting together as americans to serve on the same team, and defend your nation. If youre a person thinking about joining the military, youre probably not going to want to sign up if Kamala Harris is the potential commander in chief. Richard, your reaction . I dont think the republicans want to have this debate. I mean, this trump, somebody who said they were suckers and losers, people who go into the military. He couldnt bring himself to get to that cemetery in france. He said that stds were his vietnam. He basically said that, no, Gold Medal, you know, they were shot or dead, they didnt qualify. A thumbs up in front of that grave. Who conducts themself like that . So, the notion that somehow thats appealing to people to go into the military is absurd, and i think that people, again, recognize that and i think across the board, thats just a very unappealing side. I dont think the Harris Campaign would mind having that debate. So, not a winning message, youre saying . Hardly. Richard goodstein, stewart stevens, Thank You for offering your insights. Fresh polling on the Gen Z vote. The Number Backing Trump might surprise you. Plus, another night of demonstrations in israel calling for a hostage deal. Is Israels Government feeling the pressure .

The country rocked by a third night of demonstrations over the deaths of six hostages killed in gaza, with protesters blaming netanyahu for failing to get a deal to bring those six and the other remaining hostages home. And the public disapproval becoming even more stark this morning, after the widow of one of the six hostages killed refused to meet with netanyahu according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Lets bring in Nbc News international correspondent Matt Bradley in Tel Aviv for us. An independent journalist, who has had two decades of experience covering the israel palestinian conflict. Matt, any signs these protests and pressure on netanyahu are having an impact on potential ceasefire talks . Reporter no, not really. And this is a situation where were about to see the united states supposedly, before the end of the week, proposing some sort of Lastditch Effort to try to get some sort of hostage deal. Weve heard this language from the White House before. I think this time it was something like make it or break it. Weve also heard from the White House many times that they were close to a deal, and every single time, there must have been three or four different occasions when weve heard from the biden administration they were close to a deal, and those hopes have been crushed within days or weeks of those announcements. So we havent heard theres going to be any movement from the israeli side. Benjamin netanyahu spoke just a couple days ago addressing the country and said that he wasnt going to be moving on the one issue that a lot of people are crediting withholding up these talks, and that is the continued israeli Troop Presence on whats called the philadelphi corridor, a name for the border between Gaza And Egypt peninsula. He also wants to maintain troops at a roadway that was created by the israelis in just the last year during the combat, the corridor that Bisects Gaza from north to south. This seems like it is going to be a part of netanyahus negotiations from here on out, and it has been really for the last month. A lot of folks have been accusing the Prime Minister of adding this on, tacking this on to his demands rather late in the game as a deliberate measure to obstruct negotiations. Thats why were seeing so much anger. A lot of the anger also coming from the notion that these six young people who were killed in the Gaza Strip just over the weekend, that they might have been part of some negotiated hostage deal, their names or identities were somehow part of some sort of deal that would have seen some measure of peace in the Gaza Strip, and would have seen a lot of the hostages freed. Knowing this, this idea that netanyahu is continuing to pursue a Military Solution to releasing the hostages, a lot of these protesters are saying that that has been illegitimate for the past several months, and this vindicates that, the death of the hostages. Their statements and these protests, theyre not new. They have always been saying that there needs to be some sort of deal. They have the numbers on their side. Only a handful of hostages have actually been released through military means, more than 100 of them were released during the last successful hostage negotiation, all the way back in november. So thats one of the sources of the anger youre seeing on the streets of israel. Matt bradley, Thank You. So publicly netanyahu has remained defiant, well be listening closely to see if his posture has changed at all in this upcoming News Conference. But here is a Gli Glimpse Of Th opposing sources, ben saying hes working to stop the negotiations with hamas, and then theres former War Cabinet Leader and Opposition Leader Benny Gantz arguing that netanyahu needs to bend t hostages need to be returned, even at a heavy price. What force has more pull right now, do you think . It depends on what we mean by pull, because despite what netanyahu and his associates have been saying all day long, a majority of israelis, a clear majority of israelis and sustained majority of israelis want there to be a ceasefire and the hostages released. That is the number one priority for the majority of israeli citizens. The government, however, seems to have even stiffened its back over the past few days, and is responding to this massive, massive presence of israelis on the street. Saturday night here as the equivalent of 15 Million americans taking to the streets. They have responded to that by saying, were doubling down, absolutely, we are not going to do anything except fight to get these hostages back, and fighting hasnt really brought any hostages back or very few. And that is the standoff that youre seeing right now in israeli hearts and on israeli streets. The u. S. Just charged hamas leaders with terrorism over the October 7th attack, and so does that charge against hamas change anything on the ground, or is it more symbolic . I dont think its symbolic. I think its serious, especially when we take into account that american citizens have also been killed. I do think that its complex. In israel it has brought up the question, why havent israeli authorities charged these hamas leaders with crimes, which could provide kind of some more judicial ballast here. It raises an uncomfortable question, given President Biden saying in recent Days Netanyahu is not doing enough to free the hostages, given the fact that theres still american citizens there, i think it raises questions about just how difficult these conversations are, when americans tell netanyahu behind the scenes, you have to be doing everything to save american lives, not just israeli lives, and were pursuing the way these people are being murdered and how youre responding. So i think that this has to do a little bit behind the scenes. Thanks very much for all of that. We are following new attacks overnight in ukraine. This time missiles hitting a city closer to poland. This, after more than 50 people died in tuesdays attack. Our own Richard Engel just sat down with ukrainian President Zelenskyy to discuss Ukraines Incursion into russia. Richard, what do you have . Reporter President Zelenskyy sat down for this interview at a critical time, just after the start of his ongoing Military Offensive into russia, and it seems now that russia is responding with attacks of its own. This morning, russia launched another major attack against a ukrainian city, this time hitting lviv, a normally peaceful city closer to poland than the front lines. The missiles and drones struck residential buildings, apartments and private homes, in the historic district. Children are among the dead, according to ukrainian officials. Yesterday, russian missiles destroyed a military academy, killing more than 50 people. Is it the start of vladimir Putins Revenge for Ukraines Incursion into russia last month . President Zelenskyy Sat down with Nbc News in his first interview since that surprise move. Now youve captured this territory in russia, so the big question is, what do you plan to do with it . Translator we dont need the russian territory, our operation is aimed to restore our territorial integrity. We dont need their land. Is the plan to take more territory . Translator I Cant speak about it. Its the beginning of this operation. I didnt communicate anything, with all respect, I Cant speak about it. I think that the success is very close to surprise. But conceptually, you have this territory, so you dont want to keep it long term . We will hold it. Reporter he said President Putin Shouldnt be allowed to carry out terrorist attacks against civilian areas. Isnt putin already getting away with it . There was a decision by the International Criminal Court to arrest him, but hes in Mongolia Today and, instead of being arrested, he was given a state reception. So, do the sanctions against Russia Work . Translator no, they do not. They respect putin more than the international law. Reporter President Zelenskyy is now also reshuffling his government with the Foreign Minister tendering his resignation. Its a major political shakeup and it comes ahead of President Zelenskyys trip to the united states later this month, when he plans to present what he describes as a victory plan. So he wants to go to the united states with Military Success after the incursion into russia, and it seems with a new government. Richard engel, Thank You.

Donald Trumps legal woes are back in the spotlight this morning. Overnight, the former president s lawyers filed a notice of appeal to a higher court, after a federal judge in New York denied their request to move his already adjudicated hush Money Case to a Federal Court. Its not clear if theres any basis for his team to make that appeal. Meanwhile, in a separate case, the former president plans to plead not guilty to Special Counsel jack smith, and his lawyers will enter the not guilty Plea Tomorrow where we could learn more about a potential special. Legal analyst Lisa Rubin is here to break this down. Lets start with the hush Money Case. The judge swiftly rejected the motion to move this to Federal Court, right . So, is there a next obvious step for his team, can they appeal . I think it depends on how you characterize last nights order. Technically they needed the Judges Permission to even file a late notice to remove this case to Federal Court, because as you noted, its already been adjudicated, its already been tried. But, if the judge grants that leave to file the application, he also has the choice to do whats called a summary remand, send it right back to the State Court without any briefing. The problem is last nights order, its not clear exactly what he was doing. Was he denying them leave to even file the application, or was he remanding the case back to State Court . If its the latter, trump does have a right to appeal. Thats how they framed it in their notice of appeal last night. How quickly could this move, and will we see sentencing next week . I think the question of sentencing depends on how quickly it moves, but, also, trumps lawyers already have an application before manhattan criminal Court Judge to delay the sentencing until after the election. That motion is also still pending. We have what i would call dueling courts, were a little bit in that position right now where its sort of were waiting to see which court acts first, and if the Court Of Appeals agrees to take trumps appeal, it may put a freeze on the Judges Ability to sentence Donald Trump. Lets pivot to the election interference case, the federal one in d. C. A lot happening tomorrow. You have trumps lawyers expected to enter a not guilty plea for trump and argue for the case to be dismissed entirely. If its not, then theyre going to be talking schedule. How does Judge Chutkan weigh this . I think Judge Chutkan is not going to agree with the schedule trumps lawyers have proposed. They dont want to move to dismiss the case until december and they proposal a bunch of intervening steps, including telling her they need more discovery, essentially to tell her why the former president is entirely immune from prosecution. Thats not likely to fly with her. On the other hand, the Department Of Justice through the Special Counsels Office Has said theyre ready to file a brief as soon as she says go to tell her why. They have complied with the Supreme Courts immunity ruling. Im interested in seeing how that plays out. My guess is neither side will get its complete way, but the judge will probably be closer to what the Special Counsel wants. Do you expect anything to happen before the election . I do expect that Judge Chutkan will order briefing before the election, but do i expect it to be resolved . Not a chance. This is going to go back through the Supreme Court before we get a trial in this matter, if at all. Thank you for giving us the roadmap. And now to a stunning arrest in new York State, a former top aide to new York Governor kathy hochul, accused of acting as a Secret Agent for the chinese government, in exchange for millions of dollars in kickbacks. Linda sun is out on bail after pleading not guilty in Federal Court yesterday. Nbcs Stephanie Gosk has the latest in this one. Stephanie .

Now, here is that report we mentioned just before the break, on the former top new York State official accused of acting as a foreign agent. Here is nbcs Stephanie Gosk. Reporter Linda Sun and her husband, chris hu, walked out of Federal Court on tuesday released on bail. A 40yearold u. S. Citizen, sun pleaded not guilty to taking millions in payments and gifts from chinese officials, in exchange for influencing the highest levels of new York State government for years. Her husband pleading not guilty to money laundering. Governor Kathy Hochuls Office says sun was hired a decade ago and fired in march of last year amid allegations of misconduct. Im furious and outraged and absolutely shocked, the second we discovered some levels of misconduct, we fired her, we alerted the authorities. Reporter in a 65page indictment, prosecutors allege sun blocked taiwanese officials have having access to the governors office, drafted unauthorized Invitation Letters to fraudulently get visas for chinese officials, and changed messaging regarding issues of importance to china. Kickbacks went to her husbands businesses, prosecutors say, to fund a lavish lifestyle. Multimillion Dollar Homes in Long Island and hawaii, cash, and luxury cars, including a 2024 Ferrari Rom alike this one, thats priced over 260,000. The government says it will seize all of it, including more than 130,000 in a safety deposit box. The couple and their family also received expensive gifts, Travel Expenses paid and tickets to shows, according to the indictment. And on multiple occasions, Specialty Salted Ducks prepared by a chinese officials personal chef. The doj calling suns actions a direct threat to National Security. The way americans think about National Security is being corrupted by foreign adversaries who want to tell us how to think and how to act, and that is a National Security threat. Reporter outside of court, Suns Attorney defending his client. We are looking forward to exercising our right to a speedy trial and addressing these accusations in the forum where its most appropriate, which is a court of law. Our thanks to Stephanie Gosk with that reporting. Now were going straight out of the Coconut Tree through the end of brat summer. Weve been hearing a lot about how Vice President harris and former President Trump are using memes and influencer interviews to try to appeal to americas youngest voting bloc. Now a new first of its Kind Poll is trying to measure the impact of that outreach, or to put it in Gen Z terms, if they have the political rizz that hits different. It found half of Voters Age 18 to 29 say they will back harris compared to a third behind trump. Nbcs Savannah Sellers is here with more on that. I actually have a child who is considered Gen Z. Im learning these terms. Brat summer. You did it. Im trying to get with the times. Tell us what else we learned in these polls. Its fascinating. You said it, first of its kind. This is really the only glimpse that we have so far specifically looking at this generation, 62 days out, but who is counting, from the election. Lets Take A Look at the top issues. First, you may not be surprised, this is reflective of the electorate as a whole, Cost Of Living and inflation, overwhelming by, 31 , pretty equal in terms of what they actually care about. When it comes to Cost Of Living and the economy, they have so many specific concerns, both about the countrys economy, as well as their personal finances. This is a huge number, 56 today thinks the Economy Conditions of the country as a whole are worse today than one year ago. Its a little more positive when we talk about their specific personal finances. 36 today compared to 34 better, somewhat equal. When they think about if their generation is doing better or as good as their parents, are they going to be able to buy a home, for example, they do not feel good about this. Look at that number. Much harder to achieve, 64 say thats true for them to buy a home than their parents generation. Theyre also delaying life milestones because of their financial situation. 38 have delayed buying a home, buying a car, all different types of big moments they are holding off on because of what debt is causing them to feel when it comes to their personal economic situation. One thing that was interesting, because i spoke with a bunch of Gen Z voters yesterday, they have different ideas about who can solve this and how. Several young people who are republicans say, look, when it comes to what i think the former president could do in a second term, it will mean that i will feel better going to the grocery store. Others say the incentives from the Vice President on Small Businesses, home buyers, firsttime home buyers, that might help me get ahead. Different ideas about how to solve it. What else stands out to you about those conversations you had with these young voters . So many interesting things. One of the big ones is the age of our politicians, maybe not a surprise. Listen to the stats, 73 would support setting an age maximum for candidates to be eligible to run for president. Listen to what they had to say. I feel sympathetic toward the elderly. Do i want my grandmother to be in office right now running the country as a 78yearold . Absolutely not. I dont think the man who is approaching 80 years old should be in charge of Making Decisions that will affect someone who theyre long gone. My generation had have to fix that, and we dont want a huge problem where we have to rebuild our democracy as well as our community. The other thing that was interesting to me, the Vice President ial picks, theyre actually sticking out to this generation, when it comes to Senator Vance, 32 say they have a positive view, as opposed to a 47 negative view. Walz, it sort of flips, 55 feel positively about him as opposed to 25 who feel negative. And a young republican voter i spoke to said, walz makes me nervous because i think people like him. A young democratic voter said, i think Senator Vance just seems sort of weird. Its a word that has stuck. Savannah sellers, so fascinating.
