Summary

Jen Psaki explains what Donald Trump really means when he talks about “the enemy within” - and why we should take him at his word. Representative Adam Schiff joins Jen to discuss Trump and his enablers' increasingly hateful rhetoric, including threats against the Congressman himself, and the danger it poses to our democracy. Next, Jen is joined by a panel of reporters and analysts, including Molly Jong-Fast, Cornell Belcher, and Ali Vitali, to react to Kamala Harris' event with Liz Cheney, discussing the campaign's efforts at winning over key voting blocs, including undecided voters and white women. Later, Jen explains why Trump's "11th Hour" event with supposed faith leaders is just another vector of misinformation and far-fight fanaticism posing as Christianity. Finally, elections lawyer Marc Elias joins Jen to discuss Elon Musk's likely-illegal registered voter lottery and the status of election lawsuits in battleground states.

Congresswoman Liz Cheney

I mean, even four years ago, I could not have imagined.

I'm betting you could not have imagined.

And this is their third event today in a third swing state, just two weeks out from the election.

I know there is a lot of anxiety out there. Believe me, I see people on trains. I see people in elevators everywhere. A lot of concern

1:01.9

about every up and every down in the polls, about turnout. These are the questions everybody's

1:06.4

talking about. Concern about everything. That's what's what's what happens to exat it from an election.

1:12.0

But just take today in for a moment because what today really speaks to is the unity among a

1:18.3

broad coalition of people. People who definitely do not agree on everything, but who have been

1:23.4

brought together because of their deep concern about a second Trump presidency and about the

1:28.7

threat that he poses to our country. You have to choose in this race between someone who has been

1:36.3

faithful to the Constitution, who will be faithful, and Donald Trump, who it's not just us

1:43.2

predicting how he will act. We watched what he did after the last

1:47.4

election. We watched what he did on January 6th. And I know how quickly democracies can unravel.
