I just wasted an hour of my life. Oh no. Yeah. Watching this show? oh, no, no, no. That's what i should have done. I should have done that, because i thought it was my job to watch the trump socalled town hall moderated by sean hannity i could have told you. On another channel. So it's the town hall, you know, in harrisburg, pennsylvania, filled with people ready to ask their questions. Not a single audience question in the entire hour because because, you know, the trumpian, outofcontrol, rambling, incoherpt answers went on forever. Because he had to talk about lek etro cushions and hannibal lecter and sharks. Hannity's promising the audience that the audience questions are coming up, and they never do. Unbelievable. And any, any one of the audience questions would have been better than any of the hannity questions in the entire hour. And there might have been something to report about it if just one audience question got asked. Well, you know, next time lawrence, just stick with this channel at 9:00 p. M. You now have my full report on the last 60 minutes over there. I don't need to watch any of the internet highlights. You don't. No internet highlights, you've been saved that. And for that i thank you, sir. Thank you. The breaking campaign news is a major endorsement of kamala harris for president. This is an endorsement that could really change votes in kamala harris' favor because it comes from one of america's most prominent republican families. Former congresswoman liz cheney, the daughter of former vice president dick cheney endorsed kamala harris for president today in comments she made in north carolina, where the liz cheney endorsement could make a difference in the outcome of the presidential election in that state where kamala harris and donald trump are running within one point of each other in most polls. Liz cheney has made it clear since january 6th that she could never vote for donald trump for president. But since donald trump secured the republican nomination, liz cheney has not said how she will vote in the presidential election until today. Because we are here in north carolina, i think it is it is crucially important for people to recognize not only is what i've just said about the danger or if you have kidney or liver problems, biktarvy can go with you.

So before i so before i begin, i do want should prevent people from voting for him, but i don't to say a few words about this believe that we have the luxury tragic shooting that took place of writing in candidate's names, particularly in swing states. And as a conservative, as this morning in windor, georgia. Someone who believes in and we're still gathering information about what happened cares about the constitution, i but we know there were multiple have thought deeply about this, fatalities and injuries. And you know, our hearts are and because of the danger that with all the students, the donald trump poses not only am i teachers, and their families, of course, and we are grateful to not voting for donald trump, but the first responders and the law i will be voting for kamala enforcement that were on the scene. But this is just a senseless tragedy. On top of so many senseless harris in this election. Tragedies. And it's just outrageous that every day in our country in the united states of america that parents have to send their [ cheers and applause ] children to school worried about whether or not their child will come home alive. It's senseless. It is, we've got to stop it. Liz cheney served as the vice chair of the january 6th you know, it doesn't have to be congressional committee this way. Investigating donald trump's it doesn't have to be this way. Attempt to overthrow the 2020 so we will continue, of course, presidential election leading up to send our prayers and our to and on january 6th. President trump sat in the thoughts to the families and all dining room off the oval office those who were affected, including you know, i'm going watching the violent riot at the off script right now, but listen, i mean, you know, at the last year i started a college capitol on television. For hours he would not issue a tour, and i traveled our country public statement instructing his meeting with our young leaders, supporters to disperse and leave right? the capitol. And so those college aged young this was an utter moral failure leaders, i did trade schools, and a clear dereliction of duty. Universities, community colleges. I love gen z. I just love gen z, right? liz cheney's endorsement of kamala harris will be heard by but i'll tell you one of the things, one of the things that i asked every time i went to the republican voters. Cheney republican voters. Auditorium and it would be it could be a number of voters filled with these young leaders, that could tip a swing state or students and i'd ask them several swing states in kamala harris' favor in an election now where the candidates are separated by one or two points in the important electoral college swing states that will decide this election. The liz cheney endorsement seems possibly inevitable when we look at it today looking back in time, but it is not inevitable. Liz cheney has been very careful in this approach to the discussion of the trump candidacy, saying she is opposed to the trump candidacy but never going that step that next step to, okay, when you're filling out your ballot, what are you going to do? we now have that answer, and liz cheney's answer may become the answer for a crucial number of it does not have to be this way. Republicans out there who could end up deciding this election. Many issues that's at stake that endorsement of kamala harris by liz cheney came on the in this election. What's at stake in this same day that attorney general merrick garland announced a new indictment of russian citizens election is that one candidate, for trying to interfere with the kamala harris, wants to stop mass murder in this country and current 2024 presidential election again in support of the other candidate, donald donald trump. The indictment says rt, formerly trump, and every single known as russia today, is a candidate, republican candidate statecontrolled media outlet for the senate or the house of funded and directed by the representatives, every single government of russia. One of them, along with donald after russia invaded ukraine in february 2022, rt was trump, wants to guarantee that sanctioned, dropped by distributors, and ultimately forced to cease formal american mass murderers remain operations in the united states, the best equipped mass murderers canada, and the united kingdom in the world. And the european union. In response, rt created, in the that is their political mission. Words of its editor in chief, an today's accused mass murderer is entire empire of covert projects a 14yearold who went into his designed to shape public opinion school with an ar15 and in western audiences. The indictment says that rt and murdered two 14yearold students and two teachers. Its employees, quote, deployed nearly $10 million laundered donald trump said nothing about through a network of foreign the mass murder, but he did have shell entities to covertly fund his staff issue a short written and direct english language videos on multiple social media statement expressing some sympathy for the dead and not a channels, including tiktok, instagram, x, and youtube. According to the indictment, those videos are designed to single word of what to do to support the candidacy of donald stop these mass murderers in our trump. The first time donald trump ran schools, to stop these mass for the presidency, he openly murderers in shopping malls, to stop these mass murderers in and illegally asked for russia's churches, to stop these mass help. Russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the murderers in theaters. Not one word from donald trump or any republican today about how to stop what happened in 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be that georgia school today. Vice president harris went to rewarded mightily by our press. New hampshire today, which a russia did exactly what trump campaign operative recently said is unwinnable by donald trump requested that day. Donald trump. After make garland announced the that comment got that trump indictments for russian interference in this year's campaigner fired from the campaign. The vice president chose new hampshire as the place to election today, donald trump complained on social media that it was somehow unfair for the describe her new economic proposals, including a focus on justice department of the united the development of small business and restoring the states of america to criminally capital gains tax for incomes over $1 million to 2%, which was prosecute illegal russian interference in our elections. The top capital gains tax rate the russian government can during the booming economic successfully interfere in presidential elections thanks years of the clinton entirely to the utter absurdity administration. As president, one of my of the electoral college. It was impossible for the highest priorities will be to russian election interference strengthen america's small operation in 2016 to turn enough businesses and here i am in new votes in donald trump's favor so hampshire to announce a few that donald trump could actually elements of my plan to do that. Win the most votes. Donald trump lost the vote at the polls by 3 million votes, a margin that russian interference so first, we're going to help could not possibly close, but the electoral college can be won more small businesses and by tiny vote margins in a few innovators get off the ground. So here's the thing, on average states. Donald trump lost to joe biden it costs about $40,000 to start by 7 million votes nationally a new business in america. And he will surely lose to that is a great financial kamala harris by millions of barrier for a lot of folks, and votes nationally. And that is why russian it can hold entrepreneurs back. Interference is targeted at the and the current tax deduction key electoral college states for a startup is just $5,000. That decide the election. Okay? so then you got to make up the there is nothing the founders delta there. Feared more than foreign you got to figure out how you're going to do that. Interference in american not everyone has access to that elections. They would be horrified to know that nothing has made foreign kind of wealth and capital. So part of my plan is we will interference in our presidential expand the tax deduction for elections more effective than the electoral college, a true startups to $50,000. Curse on american democracy. Leading off our discussion tonight is andrew weissmann, it's essentially a tax cut for former fbi general counsel and former chief of the criminal division the eastern district of starting a small business. New york. Second, my plan will help she an msnbc legal analyst and coauthor of the bestselling existing small businesses grow. We will provide low and no book the trump indictments. Also with us, rick stang l, who interest loans to small served as undersecretary of businesses that want to expand. And we will and this is very state during the obama administration. Important cut the red tape here's an msnbc political analyst and the author of that can make starting and information wars: how we lost growing a small business more the global battle against disinformation and what we can difficult than it needs to be. More difficult than it needs to do about it. Andrew weissmann, i know you know, when i heard today justice be. Third, my plan will invest in department, russian indictments, small businesses and innovators i really had to ask, a new one? it's happening again? throughout america. We're doing this again? and here's why. After what you went through in we know that towns exist everywhere in our country, from the mueller investigation rural towns to city centers, so investigating what happened when that's why i support a donald trump publicly asked russia to help, there seems to billionaire minimum tax and be an awful lot of familiar notes in what we're seeing in this indictment today. Corporations paying their fair absolutely. Share. And no one should be surprised. This is something if you and while we ensure that the wealthy and big corporations pay remember when robert mueller testified before congress and he their fair share, we will tax was asked about this, he said it is happening as we speak, and it capital gains at a rate that is going to continue. Kudos to the department of rewards investment in america's innovators, founders, and small justice for taking affirmative businesses. So here's the detail, if you steps now. Earn $1 million a year or more, if you remember in 2016, there was sort of belated criticism the tax rate on your longterm that they didn't take action even though they saw during the capital gains will be 28% under election that this was what was going on because they didn't my plan because we know when the want to be viewed as politicizing the election and government encourages investment, it leads to broad taking sides. But that came at the expense of based economic growth. And it creates jobs, which makes interference. Here in black and white in the luminous papers the department of justice has made public is our economy stronger. Now, compare that to what donald exactly the scheme, lawrence, that you laid out. Which is to get donald trump elected to have the republicans trump plans small win. That is goal one. Goal two is to have the democrats lose to lose businesses. Confidence in their policies and and to cut corporate taxes by particularly, of course, about the war in ukraine. Over $1 trillion, even as they and so it's got poll numbers and it targets specifically the pull in record profits. His plans will add more than $5 battleground states. Trillion to the national debt it targets specific interest groups and voter blocks. And that is on top of the $2 it identifies hispanics, trillion tax cut he gave them american jews, and obviously, when he was president and when anyone in a battleground state as somebody that should be targeted to try and make sure he exploded the deficit. That they can win the war in we know how to count. We know how to count. Ukraine by getting donald trump and now he also wants to impose elected. What in effect is a national that is the explicit target. Final point really quickly is that one of the innovative sales tax on everyday products things that the department of justice did is they took down and basic necessities, which will skyrocket the cost for domains. So they didn't just indict two families and small businesses. People and lay out the scheme to and new hampshire on top of all make it clear we know what of this, if donald trump were to they're doing, they also took win in november, he intends to down some of the instrumentalities that russia is end the affordable care act. Which would significantly using to foment this illegal increase costs on small scheme. Businesses, as we know, and they closed down those websites they've been using. Well you know what, the courts there's a new statement by the are going to handle that, and we harris/walz campaign by vice will handle november. President harris about liz cheney's endorsement today. I want to read that in a moment because it does when you how about that? consider that liz cheney made her endorsement even before how about that? knowing about this justice how about that? but think about it. Department indictment, which is yet another demonstration of the he wants to end the affordable danger that donald trump poses care act. Taking us back to a time when in our politics and in government, the intersection of insurance companies could deny these two stories today, i people with preexisting conditions. Think, is quite powerful. You remember what that was? here is what the vice president is saying tonight in a statement children with asthma, breast about liz cheney's endorsement that says the vice president is cancer survivors, grandparents with diabetes, so yeah, look, we proud to have earned are here to tell him and them we congresswoman cheney's vote. She is a patriot who loves this country and puts our democracy and our constitution first. Are not going back. And she noted in her powerful remarks this election is a we're not going back. Choice between the fundamental we're not going back. Threat donald trump poses to our we're not going back. Democracy and a leader who will in five minutes you just stand up for our freedoms and heard more policy detail from kamala harris than anyone has the rule of law. Ever heard from donald trump in in vice president harris. Vice president harris will be president for all americans his entire political career. Regardless of political party, for any american who is looking yesterday the wall street investment bank goldman sachs to reject the chaos and division issued a warning that has been of donald trump, turn the page echoed by every leading and pursue a new way forward economist that the american that protects our freedoms and economy could be severely defends the american values we all believe in, there is a place crippled by donald trump's tariff proposals, which kamala harris says would in effect be a for you in the harris/walz sales tax on americans, which coalition, and we will continue would
