Transcripts For MSNBC The Last Word With Lawrence ODonnell 20241002

Look at Jd Vance which is like less than two years as a senator, never held public office before that other than his time in public service, all he has done his work for the sky, peter teal. And then, you also just dive in and look at the stuff he said on tape and who he says he gets his political ideas from and what his political ideas are and you realize he brings nothing to the table really i mean, aside from sheer political skill, he brings nothing to the table other than his commitment to some deeply weird stuff that is completeness to the american people, and totally off the charts bizarre in terms of modern politics and radicalism and i just have not known what to do with that for a very long time. I still dont know what to do with it, but its there. And, i appreciate, by the way, you stated when you were talking about it, reluctance to even bring it up because do we want to give this Stuff Air . Do we want to make that Guy Famous was actually guiding Jd Vances thinking, which is also stunningly weird that his nutty stuff is it better that his nutty stuff is original is that better . Has you got it from your guru who wants a ceo which he admits is a dictator and then you use all this weird terminology, oh, were in a late republican period knowing that everybody who is clued into this guy will know exactly what youre talking about if that means you are rooting for caesar the dictator to come . I mean, its so weird, so buried in the Youtube Comments like deep Clinics Chat Room nonsense and its apparently really close to getting into the white house. When that segment gets posted online on Social Media, im going to retweet it and cycle it as best i can, and when i got home tonight, im going to watch it again because really, i was not taking notes. I was standing in the hallway. You know, there is that tv at the corner near the elevators. I was just standing there at that Elevator Staring at you reporting this stuff to me. I will dump all of my tabs. I will send you all of my tabs on the stuff so you can check my work. Quick question, if you had like a wickedfamous uncle who was certifiably insane and dangerous, would you become a clinical psychologist . Oh, as defense for your soul . Maybe, yeah. Because, that is what Mary Trump did and she is going to join us later in this hour with a new book about her family, where i learned so much new stuff about her grandfather, Donald Trumps father and how Donald Trump more about how Donald Trump became Donald Trump and shes going to join us with that later in the hour. Thank you, lawrence. Looking forward to it. The Stock Market closed at another record alltime high today, four years after Donald Trump said this in a president ial debate, a debate that he lost to Joe Biden. If he is elected, the Stock Market will crash. Now, normally we dont adjudicate predictions to be lies, but that prediction was so ridiculous on its face at that time that it really can be scored as a lie. Donald trump knew he was lying when he made up that crazy statement, the Stock Market will crash. There will be lies. There will be lies in tomorrow Nights Vice President ial debate in Cbs News, the host of the debate, has decided to guarantee that those lies are delivered directly to you at home without any interference at all from Cbs News. Cbs news has ordered the moderators not to fact check anything Jd Vance says. And you know, that no Fact Checking rule which comes from no journalistic principles whatsoever, was put in place by Cbs News to place the Republican Party in the republican campaign because the republican campaign lies everyday nonstop. When one of the people on the Trumpvance Ticket is speaking, lies are always flowing. Even now, when it comes to disaster relief, hurricane relief, which used to be a completely nonpartisan subject that No One ever lied about, Donald Trump even lies about that. Donald trump lied about the republican governor of georgia not been able to get help from President Biden after the hurricane passing through florida, georgia, tennessee, virginia in the car lies told hundred and 32 people and spread severe Property Damage and flooding to six states. We do need some help from the federal government. They have to get together ideally with the governor. That governor needs to. Hes been trying to get them and im sure theyre going to come through but he has been calling the president , has not been able to get him but they will come through im sure. Usually when Donald Trump is lying about the republican governor of georgia Brian Kemp, he is attacking Brian Kemp for not helping him overturn the president ial election in georgia. Here is what georgias governor, Brian Kemp, said publicly to everyone, including Donald Trumps campaign staff. Everybody heard this before Donald Trump started lying about him today. The president just called me yesterday afternoon. I missed him and called him right back and he just said hey, what do you need and i told him, you know, we got what we need. We will work through the federal process. He offered that if there are other things we need just to call him directly, which i appreciate that. Here is what President Biden had to say about Donald Trump lying about how helpful President Biden has been to the governors dealing with this crisis. Reporter mr. President, Donald Trump has accused you of ignoring [ inaudible ] hes lying. Let me get this straight. He is lying in the governor told you he was lying. Ive spoken to the governor, spent time with him and he told me he is lying. I dont know why he does this and the reason i get so angry about it i dont care what he says about me, but i care what he communicates to the people. I spoke to the republican governor of georgia. I assume you heard him talk about that he was on the phone with me more than once so its simply not true, and it is irresponsible. President biden explained to people in the region that he would not visit the scene until later this week because he does not want resources diverted away from helping people in order to provide security for his visit. Im going to North Carolina on wednesday as the plan now. Were going to be landing in raleigh for a briefing with the emergency Operations Center and then do an aerial tour. Its too much for me in terms of interrupting to help there, to land to survey the damage other than through the air. It is my plan to travel to georgia and florida as soon as possible after that. Vice president harris canceled her campaign in nevada to rush back to washington and she said this at Femas Headquarters in washington this afternoon. Over the last couple of days , i have received regular briefings on the impact of Hurricane Helene including from Administrator Criswell and over the past 24 hours i have spoken with Governor Kemp of georgia, Governor Cooper of North Carolina and many local officials. I have shared with them that we will do everything in our power to help communities respond and recover, and i have shared with them that i plan to be on the ground as soon as possible, but as soon as possible without disrupting any Emergency Response operations because that must be the highest priority in the first order of business. So far, more than 3300 federal personnel are on the ground to assist with recovery efforts. They are deploying food, water, and generators. We continue to work with teams on the ground to restore Water And Power as quickly as possible. You will do that work around the clock as though these are your Family Members. I know how you work and i know how hard you work, so i am here mostly to thank you all for all that you do. To all of those of you who are rightly feeling overwhelmed by the destruction and the loss, our nation is with you. President biden and i and all of the folks behind me are with you. We will continue to do everything we can to help you recover and to help you rebuild, no matter how long it takes. Harris picked up some important endorsements for her candidacy from the New York Times and the new Yorker Magazine and another republican endorsement, this time from former Arizona Republican Senator Jeff flake. Im a conservative republican who had the honor to serve my Home State of arizona in the united States House of representatives and in the senate for nearly two decades. I believe america is a great country. I believe that our best days lie ahead. I want to support a candidate for president who believes the same. I believe we dont have to agree on every issue or policy, but that we should use the political process created by our founders to debate and to persuade, not disparage or devalue. I want to support a candidate who understands that political opponents are fellow citizens, a loyal opposition, as our parties once knew each other, not the enemy. Having spent the past three years overseas as a united states ambassador, i have seen up close that we have very real enemies abroad. We also have vital and indispensable allies. I want to support a president ial candidate who understands and appreciates the difference. I believe that our constitutional system and in the role of law, i want to support a candidate who respects the will of the voters and who would never attempt to use the powers of the presidency to overturn an election after having been turned down by the voters. Finally, i want to support a president ial candidate who seeks to unite our country, rather than one who divides us, one who represents the ideals of new Generation Leadership based not upon grievances of the past, but hope for the future. For all of these reasons i will be supporting Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walz for Vice President. I served with, and the united states senate. Ive served with tim in the united States House of representatives. I know them. I know firsthand of their fine character and their love of country. I would encourage all republicans who feel this way to do the same. After all, in times like these, there is nothing more conservative than putting country over party. This weeks New Yorker presents Kamala Harris on the cover and delivers the Magazines Endorsement of her candidacy by first making the negative case against Donald Trump. The threat to the countrys future, to its Rule Of Law and its democratic institutions, its security and its character resides not in a foreign capital but in a 20 Acre Xanadu on the florida coast. For nine years, Donald Trump is represented in ongoing assault on the stability, the nerves, and the nature of the united states. His narcissism and casual cruelty, his contempt for the truth have contaminated public life. The New Yorker chronicled Trumps Madness from the criminal attempt to overthrow an election to the Social Media ramp, i hate taylor swift. In the New Yorker says quote, trump is a menacing presence in american life, and most of his former associates know it now, of his 42 former cabinet secretaries, only half have endorsed him. More than 200 staffers for four previous republican President S and president ial candidates have endorsed the democratic ticket. The New Yorker says, the choice is stark. The united states simply cannot endure another four years of Donald Trump, he is an agent of chaos, an enemy of democracy and a threat to moral standing in the world. Kamala harris, who has shown herself to be sensible, humane, and liberal minded, is our choice for the presidency. The New York Times editorial endorsing Kamala Harris is titled, the only patriotic choice for president. The editorial begins quote, it is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the united states and Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks his occupant to put the good of the nation above selfinterest. He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline that he must act lacks. Those disqualifying characteristics are compounded by Everything Else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of the president , his many criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental lack of interest in policy and his increasingly bizarre cast of associates. This unequivocal dispiriting truth, Donald Trump is not fit to be president , should be enough for any voter who cares about the health of our country and the stability of our democracy to deny him re election. For this reason regardless of any political disagreements voters might have with her, Kamala Harris is the only patriotic choice for president. The times editorial endorsing, harris says that the number of republicans, including from Donald Trumps own president ial administration, who have turned against him, his quote, a record of denunciation without precedent in the nations long history. The times editorial makes the positive case for the Vice President saint Is Harris is clearly the better choice. She is committed to using the power of her office to help americans better afford the things they need, to make it easier to own a home, support small businesses and help workers. Beyond the economy, ms. Harris promises to continue working to expand access to healthcare and reduce its cost. She has a long record of fighting to protect Womens Health and reproductive freedom. Globally, ms. Harris would work to maintain and strengthen the alliances with likeminded nations that have long advanced american interests abroad and maintained the nations security. The times editorial ends with this. A second Truck Term would be much more damaging and divisive than the first. Kamala harris is the only choice. Yesterday in Las Vegas before leaving the Campaign Trail to return to washington, Vice President harris said this. I know we will cheer on Coach Walz when he debates Jd Vance. Yeah. But listen, also, their debate should not be the last word. Im trying to debate Donald Trump again, and i think he should debate again. The american people have a right to hear us discuss the issues, and as you say here in Las Vegas, im all in. Im all in. Even if my opponent is ready to fold, so there you go. But, you will remember in our first debate, i talked about issues like bringing down the cost of living. Investing in small businesses, protecting reproductive freedom, and keeping our nation secure. But, from Donald Trump well, it was the same old tired playbook. Same old tired playbook. With no plan on how he would address the needs of the american people. Well, folks, its time to turn the page. Its time to turn the page. America is ready to chart a new way forward. Ready for a new and optimistic generation of leadership. Which is why democrats, republicans and independents are supporting our campaign, because we know we need a president who works for all the american people. Enough of the divisions, enough of the hate. We are all in this together. Look, we need a president who cares more about solving problems than playing political games and demeaning people full time. We are tired of that. We are done with that. So, nevada, ours is a fight for the future, and it is a fight for freedom. Like the fundamental freedom of a woman to be able to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do. You know, im traveling all over our country. Across our nation we are witnessing a full on assault on other hardwon freedoms and rights, like the freedom to vote, the freedom to join a union, the freedom to breathe clean air and bring clean water , the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride. And, the freedom to be safe from gun violence. Which, after one october, nevada proves that smart Gun Safety laws are just common sense. So look, generations before us, generations of america led the fight for freedom, and the baton , well, it is now in our hands. It is now in our hands.
