It is a great place to start. Especially given the Vice President ial debate that we all watched. It is entitled, this is why maga loves j. D. Vance. And you wrote in part quote, weve seen all this before. In 2016 and 2020, Mike Pence was the gentleman debater. He was less polished and less effective than vance, but he had a similar, softening effect on the ticket. In 2016, his Earnest Faith and apparent kindness might have reassured voters that Trump Couldnt be that bad, not if he had chosen pence. We know exactly how that turned out. In choosing advanced and discarding pence, trump traded actual decency for a man who could simulate decency, and thats exactly what advanced did on tuesday night. But he couldnt keep it together for the entire evening. At the very end, the mask slipped. On tuesday night, walters learned exactly why maga loves vance so much. Hes a talented communicator. He has a compelling life story. He can make the ideological and Policy Case for republican populism better than any other politician in america, and shes no Mike Pence. He would wreck the republic for Donald Trump. Tell us more, if you can, david, in your piece about the dangers of a trump vance presidency. Yeah, a lot of people were really surprised by the debate that it was civil, kind, they treated Each Other well, it felt like a breath of Fresh Air for a minute, and then you got down to the very end. At the very end, vance is challenged about the election, and then we know where he draws the line, where he wont compromise. He is not going to say that the election was fair in 2020. He cast more excursions on the 2020 outcome. When he did that, he was broadcasting to maga america, dont be fooled by all of this civility, dont be fooled by all of this decency, when it comes down to it, if push comes to shove, we need to overturn, or try to overturn an american election again, i will be there with you this time, not like that guy, Mike Pence. At the very end of the whole facade came off. At the very end, everything was plain. All of that Civility And Decency would slide away in an instant, if Donald Trump demanded it. All of that civility, found vance on the attack again, pretty nasty attacks against walz during a Campaign Stop in the midwest. Some observers suggested that vance won the first 88 minutes of the debate because of how civil and polished he was, but lusted those last two with that huge January 6 moments, the moment the Harris Team clipped for an ad, and was underscored yesterday because of that filing. The timing with suddenly January 6 back in the headlights. There werent a lot of new revelations, per se, but a lot of really granular, hard hitting detail. Give us some of your takeaways as you read through jacksons filing. What the Supreme Court did, they raised the bar for prosecuting a former president. They raised the standard, if you will, by creating these three different categories of official acts and unofficial export which to be prosecuted. What Jack Smith did in response, go through with a fine Tooth Comb and identify point, my point, the different ways in which you cannot make out a plausible argument that Donald Trump was acting officially. One of the things that i thought was brilliant about what they did in their brief, was they talk about a lot of what Donald Trump knew, and when he knew it. Establishing that piece of intent is a critical element to show, this was not something being done in the official capacity of you is the president of the united states of america. This was something you were doing as a private candidate who you had lost an election. Wow. So, rev. , Trump And Vance say, they want to focus on the future, lets take a look into the window of the future. In an interview with News Nation last night, former president Donald Trump said, if he wins in november, he would revoke the Temporary Protective Status granted to haitian migrants, legal migrants , in springfield, ohio. In springfield, what is happening there is horrible. You have a beautiful community, 52,000 people, and about 30,000 people were put into that community rapidly, and the community is so nice, and they want to be so politically correct, you have to remove the people. We cannot destroy our country. You had a beautiful, safe community. Everyone is in love with everybody. Everything is nice, like a picture community. All of a sudden, in a short period of time, they have 32,000 more people in there. In my opinion, it is not legal. It is not legal for anybody to do. Even on a human basis, it is not acceptable to the people that are there, certainly to the people that are in springfield. Springfield is such a beautiful place. Have you seen what has happened to it . It has been overrun. You can do that to peopthey have to be removed. So, we have seen what has happened to it, rev. Al, kids have to get escorted to School By police. There are bomb threats, there are people afraid to go to work , there are haitians afraid to go to work. Yes, we have seen what has happened to springfield. But deporting and kicking out legal migrants is a new low, or how would you describe this . What is your reaction . It is definitely something that should be extremely troubling to everyone, that you have a man saying, if i am president again, i am going to arbitrarily just deport people. There is no complaints about them. The people of springfield have defended them. The governor, who is republican, has said, this is bogus what you are saying, and says, i am going to deport them anyway. That is a threat to any of us in this country that he can just decide to me with no process of law. I am not the lawyer here. Brooklyn has given us charles coleman, one of our brilliant lawyers. I can tell you, the need to at least be some Due Process to deport people. He just says, 30,000 people, i am sending them away. To have that kind of person with that mentality as president is frightening to many of us that believe in some Due Process in having a procedure of law. Couldnt get the numbers right, which Donald Trump is not getting in this place. Springfield is a population of about 60,000. I have not seen anywhere there are 30,000 migrants move in, the most seems to be about 15,000 is the number people are settling on. Again, the numbers matter, because that is affecting the impact of what he is saying. It is also interesting to try and understand, if there is any logic whatsoever to apply to Donald Trumps ramblings. It is how this actually plays as a strategy. I think On Top of the January 6th report, this is where the Bush Republicans start to think, okay, this is really too much. Sort of if you think about what is happening today, Liz Cheney is actually in wisconsin with Kamala Harris, the two of them are campaigning together. This feels like for independence of Bush Republicans, this is too much, though. That could be enough in the Swing States to ensure kamala wins. It is so interesting, jonathan lanier, because this is not the first time we have heard Donald Trump talking like a dictator want to be, beyond saying, he would be a dictator for a day. He also recently set on stage, when asked about pardoning the January 6 convicts, people who were convicted of crimes they committed on January 6th, violent crimes, he said, he would pardon them all. The reporter followed up saying, who would decide if they really should be convicted, if they really committed crimes, or should be pardoned, just let them all go . He says, i would decide. I would decide. It is all him. It is all the way he wants this country to look when he gets into office. It is just so interesting to hear independent voters going, i need to know more about Kamala Harris, when you know this about Donald Trump. Donald trump took steps during his first term in office to consolidate power in the executive branch, and since leaving office, he has been bolstered by the Supreme Court for immunity, also project 2025, other Right Wing think tanks, republican operations are also trying to put more and more power in the oval office, so trump would have this incredible leeway, working to be elected again. First, that includes, as he is saying, deporting immigrants who are here legally. Those migrants in springfield, mind you, the town manager, other residents, they needed the help. They helped revive that town. The governor of ohio has gone to Bed A Number of times to find trump saying how necessary they are. And yes, this is Donald Trump talking about January 6, appearing in front of a Convict Choir and saying, he would pardon, by his own decision, those involved. Morning Joe Weekend will be right back.

All right, im going to move now to this news about Melania Trump. Melania recently said in an interview she did that she sort of runs things with her and donald in the marriage. The guardian reports in her book, entitled, quote, melania, Due Out next week, mrs. Trump claims, she is a passionate supporter of a womans right to control her own body, including the right to abortion. The former First Lady writes, reportedly, it is imperative to guarantee that women have autonomy in deciding their preference when having children , based on their own convictions, free from any Intervention Or Pressure from the government. Why should anyone, other than the woman herself, have the power to determine what she does with her own body . A womans fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grant her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes. Adding, quote, restricting a womans right to choose, whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, is the same as denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life. The former First Lady also reportedly defends the right to abortion later in pregnancy, pointing out, those cases are extremely rare, and typically done when severe abnormalities would result in stillbirth of the child or the Mothers Life is at risk. Nbc news has not obtained a copy of The Book and cannot independently confirm its contents or The Guardian reporting. Joanna coles, your thoughts. Kind of wish she might have said something to him, maybe. I mean, melania has asserted control over her own body, because she has removed it from living with Donald Trump , and she is now back in New York, overseeing Barons Education at nyu. This is a very familiar republican trope. The wives come out and say, they believe in Abortion Rights, with their husbands, who have the power to actually take away womens rights, and we have seen that with extraordinary boasting by Donald Trump of his victory with the supreme Court Dismantling roe versus wade. When the men have the power to actually take a right away their rights and the women sit around saying, oh goodness, i didnt believe it. I dont think we should take this remotely serious. I am myopically interested in Anything Melania has to say, because i do think that she your compost on your podcast said, very clearly, she absolutely hates him. So, i think the longer she stays away from him, perhaps the more she will regain her sanity, but i dont think that we should be taking melanias pronouncements on policy remotely seriously. It is interesting that she decided to go as far as she had in The Book. At one point in The Book, according to The Guardians reporting here, i have not seen a copy, she said, i dont talk about politics. Later in The Book, she has this quite forthright comment on abortion, which dont really fit with her protestations that shes not going to talk about politics, because this is clearly a very political issue. I dont know that this makes any difference in terms of the election, or the Grantor Scheme of things, it is worth pointing out that one of the most pro choice groups in the united states at the moment is young men under the age of 40, who actually have turned out and all of those references we have had in kentucky, kansas, and ohio. They have turned out to defeat restrictions on abortion. I dont know if melania is talking to those young men in particularly, she may be talking to their young wives. She is in line with most of the united states where normal polling shows the population is, shes just not particularly aligned with where her husbands politics are. The fact she may have been speaking to those young men with her naked pictures when she did the Nude Photo Shoots in gq. We cant forget, Laura Bush came out and made it clear that she was actually in favor of Abortion Rights, when we knew her husband wasnt. Certainly, there is that dichotomy, but so striking to hear from Melania Trump at all because of how invisible she has been, particularly this time around, only taking sporadic appearances with her husband on the campaign trail, making clear, what she has done for this book, that will continue. His son has also been completely absent for it too. In that vacuum, the family women around him, you have had people like laura looming movement about vacuums, spotting all sorts of it may be a good way to sell books. It is a great way to sell books. I am skeptical. A copy on my desk when i get back, which i am extremely excited to read. Charles coleman and david french, charles, i will start with you.

If anything is expecting anything to happen of substance before the election, i would tell you to sort of cool your jets. That is not likely something we will see. Donald trumps attorneys have begun asking for additional time to
