0:00.0	Good morning. It's Saturday, October the 5th, 31 days until Election Day, with voting already underway in several states and both campaigns ramping up their efforts as we enter this final high-stakes push to November 5th.
0:19.0	Vice President Harris expected to travel to North Carolina
0:21.8	today to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Haleen, while Donald Trump, alongside the tech
0:27.4	billionaire Elon Musk, will be in Butler, Pennsylvania, returning to the site for the first
0:33.3	time since the assassination attempt against him in July. Meanwhile, Senator Bernie Sanders and the
0:39.4	United Auto Workers President Sean Fane are rallying union members in Michigan this morning. We will
0:45.0	be talking to Sean Fain later in the show. And the month before Election Day, the stakes could not

1:39.7	and his acolytes are capable of in the face of electoral defeat. Judge Tanya Chutkin unsealed the legal
1:46.4	filing on Wednesday, revealing the most comprehensive picture yet of Trump's desperate attempts to
1:52.8	cling to power at all costs after he lost the last election. One of the most damning revelations
1:59.2	is Trump's alleged response after learning that his
2:02.0	vice president's safety was at risk at the Capitol. He said, so what? Jack Smith uses this
2:09.4	incident and much of the evidence he presents to make the case that Trump was not acting in his
2:14.4	official capacity when he scheme to overturn the election results in 2020. A president acting in his official capacity when he scheme to overturn the election results in 2020.
