Summary

As Donald Trump recovers from his embarrassing debate performance, Jen Psaki breaks down how he is reverting to fear-mongering while Kamala Harris surges ahead in polls and connects with voters. Jen is joined by George Conway and Representative Jasmine Crockett to discuss the state of the race, including Trump's baseless claims that Haitian immigrants in Ohio are eating pets. Ohio Congresswoman Shontel Brown also joins Jen to react to the false narrative being spread by the GOP and the dangerous impact it is having on the Springfield community. Next, Jen talks about Trump's increasingly close relationship with far-right, racist activist Laura Loomer. Former Trump White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews joins Jen to discuss Loomer's influence and the type of people Trump would pick to staff a potential second administration. Later, Jen is joined by Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, to discuss the dangers of AI and why tech companies should be held accountable by lawmakers.
