Summary

The WSJ wants readers to think that Trump is too stupid to coup—despite Jack Smith's indictment showing a very clear plan. And for those on the left and right arguing that we survived once before, there are hundreds of thousands of people who would still be alive today if Trump had managed Covid better. Plus, the laughable GOP civility police, Kamala's potential trouble in Michigan, the MAGA ads that are simultaneously antisemitic, Islamaphobic, and misogynist, and the Green parties in Europe want Jill Stein to step aside. 

Mehdi Hasan joins Tim Miller.

Hey guys, we've got a good one for you today. And we spent so much time talking about these kind of anti-ante Trump, Nikki Haley voters and like, what is it going to take to get them off the fence? And how can I argue with people like Brett Stevens who finally came around to voting for Kamla despite reservations? And we haven't spent a lot of time discussing the kind of inverse of that group on the other side of the ideological

0:21.3

spectrum. And I've been wanting to get Medea San on to kind of have that conversation out.

0:27.4

And so I think that you're really going to enjoy it. But because that kind of took so long,

0:31.8

I didn't get into some of the basic political stuff. There were some good polls out today from

0:35.8

Marist that had Kamala Harris winning across

0:38.5

the blue wall narrowly, no doubt narrowly, but that's still encouraging. And the early vote stuff,

0:44.6

my shorthand is, you know, I don't like to overanalyze the early vote stuff, but I like the

0:48.7

percentage of the early vote that's coming from women. I don't really like the percentage of

0:52.9

early vote that's coming so far from

0:55.0

white voters versus black voters, the share of the electorate, particularly in Georgia. But it's early.

1:00.5

And so that's not going to be monitoring over the weekend. I did a YouTube video that

1:04.1

goes deeper into the polls and the early vote numbers if you want to head over to YouTube and

1:09.3

get a little bit more from me on that.

1:11.8

On this topic of getting more from me and us, if you go to the borg.com, there's a post up there called

1:17.6

Let's All Be Together.

1:18.8

It goes over some of our plans, not even all of our plans for the next few days at nights.

1:24.0

Me and Sarah and JVL are going to be popping on for some evening, quick hits over on

1:28.9

YouTube and in the next level feed over the weekend. We're going to have live streams. We're

1:33.2

going to have chats rather than me telling it to you all now. Just go to theborg.com, go to the

1:37.9

Let's All Be Together feed and get more on how you can get more from us in the last few days. We'll obviously have a live

1:46.3

stream on Tuesday night, on election night, and I'm going to be on MSNBC from 2 to 6 a.m.

1:52.5

So there'll be no shortage of you being able to hear from us. All right. Up next, Medea San.
