Transcripts For MSNBC Chris Jansing Reports 20241005

It is good to be back with you on this second hour of chris jansing reports. At this hour, the bombardments around beirut. Massive Fire Balls as israel carries out some of its biggest strikes yet. A live report on that, and the disturbing new comments from irans supreme leader. Plus, hes the governor who Donald Trump torched as disloyal, bad, and very average but today, a reunion, four years in the making. Will it all be water under the bridge between trump and Brian Kemp . A blue Collar Pitch in the battle for the blue wall. Were live on the trail with Kamala Harris in michigan. And the second to last Jobs Report before the election is now out, and it is crushing expectations, weve got the numbers. Our Nbc News reporters are following all of the latest developments. We begin with nbcs Matt Bradley live on the ground in beirut. Matt, israel carried out one of the biggest bombardments yet. What do we know about what happened, what they were targeting . Reporter they were targeting what is essentially hezbollahs second in command. He was the presumed man to succeed Hassan Nasrallah who was killed a week ago today. This man is a cousin of Hassan Nasrallah. And he is not actually we dont know if hes dead. Hezbollah has not said that he is dead. In fact, the israelis just said that they were targeting him. And this is as we have been seeing bombardment after bombardment, Front Row seats to the horrifying spectacle behind me, to a shiite muslim Area South of beirut, and this is a neighborhood thats also a stronghold for hezbollah. All of this as were continuing to see israels attacks against hezbollah in lebanon. Their incursion into southern lebanon, and just today, we saw the rare sight of the ayatollah of iran making an appearance. He made an Appearance Today because of the crisis around the region, and he gave the speech in arabic. Normally he speaks in his native farsi, and he warned the israelis they were going to continue their attacks despite whatever retaliation the israelis come up. We havent seen that quite yet. The entire region is waiting to hear about that. But this is, as the israelis, as weve said, theyre taking shots at all of the senior hezbollah officials. Now, this man, this presumed successor to Hassan Nasrallah, he is a cousin of Hassan Nasrallah. He cuts a similar religious, spiritual, and political profile. Again, we dont know if he was killed in this Attack But Fact that he has such strong connections to iran, like his predecessor, Hassan Nasrallah, and of course we dont know if he was chosen to become the successor. He hadnt yet ascended to that position, but the fact that he was the anointed successor shows that the group was trying to continue in the same mold as Hassan Nasrallah. This man, neither an extremist nor a moderate, and he has a very strong connection to iran, his son, last year, married the daughter of kasim soleimani, the head of the irgc, the islamic revolutionary guard core, the part of the forces, that supervises, and gives money to the aid of the fighting forces they back up, including hezbollah in lebanon. The houthis in yemen, the axis of resistance, so essentially to irans Foreign Policy and animosity against israel. As were seeing israel continuing to attack hezbollah, theyre making one thing clear, that no one can take the senior position. No one can take the place of ha Nasrallah Without Being Put in the cross hairs. Lets go to georgia where Donald Trump is being briefed on storm damage, with governor Brian Kemp. Nbcs Shaquille Brewster is in evans, georgia. Whats going to happen here . Reporter well, chris, were still waiting on Donald Trump to arrive here in the state of georgia, but you can see from the supplies that are stacked up behind me what the focus will be. You see some of the water, the paper towels, the baby supplies. We know that when former President Trump arrives here in georgia, Hell Meet with first responders and volunteers. Hell be briefed by emergency official, and then he will appear right behind me and stand with georgias governor, Brian Kemp, and the fact that you highlight this, i think, underscores how rare and unique this is. We havent seen these two republicans appear together in person since 2020, and theres a very specific reason for that. Donald trump has gone after Brian Kemp, really, since his 2020 election loss, since Brian Kemp didnt help him in his efforts to overturn the election here in the state of georgia. You heard as recently as august at a rally, Donald Trump mentioned or said that Brian Kemp was disloyal, that he wasnt a good guy, that he was, quote, an average governor. Since then, their relationship has definitely thawed out in some sense. You can tell when the two appear behind me, the focus will be on the Hurricane Recovery as they spend time here in georgia. Shaquille brewster, thank you so much. Lets go to michigan now, where at this very moment, Vice President Kamala Harris is speaking, and then thats in detroit. Shell be on her way. There she is. First of two in the key Battleground State after that big endorsement by bruce springsteen. Then shell be heading to flint, where well find yamiche alcindor. I didnt mention Liz Cheney, another endorsement that Kamala Harris got yesterday. Tell us about her day today, and where the campaign stands right now . Reporter well, Vice President harris is going to spend this evening in flint, michigan, campaigning in this critical Battleground State. As you mentioned, this is part of a Midwest Swing for her. Yesterday she was in rippon, wisconsin, which is known as the birthplace of the republican party. She was there, of course, with former congresswoman Liz Cheney, a republican, and she was talking about the idea that voters need to put and officials need to put country over party. So we had, of course, Liz Cheney speaking on behalf of Vice President harris. Take a listen to what she said. I know that president harris will be able to unite this nation. I know that she will be a president who will defend the Rule Of Law. And i know that she will be a president who can inspire all of our children. And if i might say so, especially our little girls. Reporter very interesting, of course, to see Liz Cheney not just leaning on the idea that republicans and others should really get behind her. Im going to interrupt you. President biden walked into the Briefing Room at the White House and is speaking. Lets take a listen. I especially want to thank the carriers, the Port Operators for reaching this agreement, at a time when the nation has experienced such terrible devastation from hurricane helene. Its truly a service to the american people for all of these parties to come together and respond to our requests, to keep the ports open. We are determined to avert a crisis at this moment because its a critical moment. If we didnt do this now, we would have a real problem. I want to thank you my white House Team for the work, they worked around the clock to bring the parties together. But today, weve got more incredible news. Although the strength of the american economy is its about the strength of the american economy. New Jobs Report, as you all know, created 250,000 jobs in september. The expectation was for 150,000 jobs in september. Which has far exceeded that number. Not only the previous two months has revised up 75,000 jobs, and from the are very beginning, we were told time and again the policies we were pursuing, we were putting forward, werent going to work, including some on the other team are saying its going to make things worse. We have proven them wrong. We were told our american Rescue Plan was too big, and it would crowd out private investment. We proved them wrong. We vaccinated a nation and got immediate economic relief to people in need. Triple down economic growing the economy from the middle out. The middle class grows the nation stronger, and a strong union as well. We were told it would work. Also determined to do what was in order much too long. The president s have been authorized since the 30s to be able to spend the money given by congress to spend the money. Hiring american workers, and using american products that were available. Thats what we did and we were told that was going to be a big problem. All the money i was authorized to spend by the congress has gone to hiring american workers and using american products. Were told it wasnt going to be we were told that was going to be a big problem. But its working. Were also told our historic laws to invest america and all americans would crowd out private Sector Investment. That was proven wrong too. We retracted 1 Trillion in private Sector Investment on domestic and foreign companies, investing in america. In america. Not the Stuff Shipping jobs overseas for cheaper labor and bringing back a product, america. Were building it here and sending it overseas. And look at the results across the board, unemployment is down 4. 1 , and every month the Vice President harris and i have been in office, we have created jobs, every single month. The nation has now created 16 Million jobs since i have come to office. More jobs in a president ial term than any time in american history. Our gdp shows our economy grow at 10 under my administration. Were also told Inflation Couldnt come down without massive Job Losses or sending the economy into economic recession. Once again, outside experts were wrong. Inflation has come down. Wages have gone up faster than prices. Interest rates are down. Record 19 Million new Business Applications have been filed for. The Stock Market continues to reach new heights. Weve got more work to do, though, keep getting prices down. Like more affordable housing. Extending what ive done for seniors, and lowering Precipitation Drug costs by letting medicare negotiate the prices, make sure thats available to everyone. What we have done so far, just when we brought down the prices for seniors under medicare, it saved the taxpayers billions of dollars. Billions of dollars. Saved the taxpayers billions of dollars. Thats important to note. Because they dont have to pay the exorbitant, irrational prices that the companies are charging. Simple fact is we have gone from an economy in crisis to having the strongest economy in the world, and weve got more work to do. Weve got more work to do to deal with the things i have just mentioned and were going to have to deal with unforeseen costs of what this hurricane is going to cost. Its going to cost a lot of money. And im going to have to ask the congress before we leave to deal with some of those problems. That remains to be seen. Ill take a few questions before i turn it over. You pick them out. Yes, sir. Go ahead, josh. Thanks for doing this, mr. President. Marco rubio described todays Jobs Report as having fake numbers. What do you make of that . How worried are you that many americans are hearing that the Jobs Numbers arent real . Look, im going to be very careful here. If you notice anything the maga republicans dont like, they call fake. Anything. The Job Numbers are what the Job Numbers are. Theyre real. Theyre sincere. And by the way, just look at how the Eu Talks about us, how they would like to have an economy like ours. How the rest of the world looks at us and what were doing. So i, well, i dont want to get going. Secondly, could you clarify some of your Comments Yesterday with regard to strikes on iranian Oil Facilities . What did you mean by them given some of the reactions were seeing in the market . Look, the israelis have not concludes what theyre going to do in terms of a strike. Thats under discussion. I think there are if i were in their shoes, i would be thinking about other alternatives than striking oil fields. Thank you, karine, thank you so much, mr. President, for being here. This Week Senator Chris Murphy said its certainly a possibility that the israeli government is not going to sign any diplomatic agreement prior to the election, which is what you have been calling for for so long. Potentially, to try to influence the result. Do you agree . Do you have any worries that netanyahu may be trying to influence the election, and thats why he has not agreed to a diplomatic solution . No administration has helped israel more than i have. None. None. None. And i think we should remember that, and whether hes trying to influence the election, i dont know, but im not counting on that. You said many times recently that you want to speak to him. That you plan to i didnt say want to. Youre making it sound like im seeking to im assuming what they make the judgment how theyre going to respond. We will then have a discussion. Thank you, mr. President, for being here. What are we advising the israelis to do in terms of their retaliation to iran, and at this point, you still havent spoken to netanyahu, is it fair to say that you have little personal influence over what he decides to do . No. Look, our teams are in contact 12 hours a day. Were constantly in contact. I have already had my president ial daily brief. Weve already had interface between our military, the diplomats. Its constant contact. They are trying to figure out, holidays as well, theyre not going to make the decision immediately, so were going to wait to see when they want to talk. Over the past few months they have defied your administrations own advice. Do you believe that the israelis are going to listen to the advice youre giving them . What i know is the plan that i put together received the support of the u. N. Security council, the vast majority of our allies around the world, as a way to bring this to an end. Look, the israelis have every right to respond to the vicious attacks on them. Not just from the iranians but from everyone from hezbollah to houthis. Anyway, but the fact is that they have to be very much more careful about dealing with civilian casualties. How should they respond . You expressed concern about the attacks on iranian Oil Facilities. We have to Move On. The election is a month away, i would like to know how youre feeling about how this election is going, and then also do you have confidence that it will be a free and fair election, and that it will be peaceful . Two separate questions. Very much. Im confident it will be free and fair. I dont know whether it will be peaceful. The things that trump has said, and the things that he said last Time Out when he didnt like the outcome of the election were very dangerous. I noticed that the Vice President as a republican candidate did not say he would accept the outcome of the election, hasnt even accepted the outcome of the last election. Im concerned about what theyre going to do. Are you making any preparations, getting Security Briefings related to domestic security . I always get those briefings. Hi, mr. President, what are you considering in imposing sanctions on iran, and would you include oil in those sanctions . Thats under consideration right now, the whole thing. Im not going to discuss that. Just all of your Comments Yesterday on the port strength, you said by the grace of god its going to hold. Is there any reason you think this temporary suspension theres more to do in terms of the whole notion of excuse me, theres more to resolve. Last night you said that theres still a lot to do to avoid an allout war in the Middle East. First, arent we pretty close to that definition already, and secondly, what can you really do to stop that from happening . Theres a lot we are doing. The main thing we can do is try to rally the rest of the world and our allies into participating like french are and lebanon and other places to tamp this down. But when you have proxies as irrational as hezbollah and the houthis, and its a hard thing to determine. I got to go. I said id take a couple questions. I think shes increasing credibility. Youre going to be the last one. Thank you for spending time with us. There have been a number of crises the country has been facing over the past several days with the hurricane, the port strike, the situation in the Middle East, can you talk about how your Vice President whos running for the presidency has worked on these crises and what role she has played over the past several days . Im constantly in contact with her. Shes aware, were singing from the same song sheet. She helped pass all the laws that are being employed now. She was a major player in everything we have done, including passage of legislation, which we were told we could never pass, and so shes been and her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things were doing. Coming back to you, sir. Go ahead, sir, sir, no, no, sir, i didnt call on you, sir. Mandito. Mr. President, Prayer And Fasting this monday, october 7th, your reaction . I will prayer and fast. Is that acceptable to you in terms of israels response, how long are you okay with Israel Bombing . What is acceptable to you . Guys, thats it. Thank you, everybody. Thank you, mr. President. Thank you, sir. Thank you. President Joe Biden doing something we have never seen him do before without any warning, he walked in to the White House press Briefing Room and took questions, after taking what was a bit of a Victory Lap on the economy. We know that privately he has felt that he wasnt getting enough Credit Or Attention for the changes in the economy, and he laid them out, and were going to talk about those a little more coming up. But i think two more notable things in the Q A that the president had to say, one is he believes that there will be a free and fair election in november. But i dont know if it will be peaceful, he said, and then he referenced comments that Donald Trump made after he lost in 2020. And then, on the ongoing and the unrest until the Middle East, he was asked about whether or not Bibi Netanyahu may be trying to influence the u
