Morning Joe [6AM] 9/6/24 \| 🅼🆂🅽🅱️🅲 Breaking News September 6, 2024 WILLIAN TUKINHA Sep 6, 2024 156K subscribers 0:00 be on the debate stage in four days vice president kamla Harris of course is now Donald Trump's opponent in the race we're going to go through the strategies for that Showdown also ahead we'll have expert legal analysis on Hunter Biden's surprise guilty plea in his federal tax case we'll have the latest on that we'll also bring youing groups raised $361 Million last month that's according to the campaign the August Hall was the best Grassroots fundraising month in presidential history the latest number nearly triples the amount raised by former president Trump in the same period Harris has seen record-breaking fundraising numbers ever since taking over for President Biden as the Democratic nominee those numbers certainly will help as there's very little time uh yeah in terms of trying to put it into action but they can work on down ballot races and Shore up the Democrats well I mean they've already given Jonathan lir $25 million KLA 1:03 Harris gave 25 million to down ballot races I'm sure something that scared a lot of Democrats but she is bringing in so much money right now they certainly going to be able to focus on their own ground game and from everybody I talked to uh on the ground and the the swing states it is the ground game right now where Harris holds a big Advantage so in close Races they feel confident yeah and Harris team inherited structural advantages from Joe Biden's Campaign which already had built up a significant field operation that ground game and she has and her team have only added to it they have a significant Advantage there over Trump and now a massive fundraising Advantage too $360 million that's more than three times what Trump raised in August which is which has allowed Harris to give money away to down ballot races we had a republican on the congressman on the record yesterday saying that if the trajectory holds he fears that GOP 2:01 is going to lose the house um and he blames also the leadership of the House Republicans speaker Johnson included and the lack of any policy progress made this year for that as well and we should also note here that having this much money having this much cash on hand really frees up the Vice President in these last two months she's not going to need to do a lot of fundraising she's not going to need to make those trips to the econom to the sort of the rich donors and to try to ask for more money you know they can do it Grassroots they can do it online and Joe M she can spend her time campaigning in those seven vital Battleground states where poll show a very tight race which is exactly what kamla Harris is doing meanwhile Donald Trump spoke yesterday to the economic Club of New York he was asked for specifics on how his administration would make child care more affordable specific legislation listen if you win in November can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make Child Care affordable and if so what 3:06 specific piece of legislation will you advance well I would do that and we're sitting down you know I was uh somebody we had Senator Marco Rubio and my daughter Ivanka was so uh impactful on that issue it's a very important issue but I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about that because look Child Care is Child Care is couldn't you know there something you have to have it in this country you have to have it but when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign Nations at levels that they're not used to but they'll get used to it very quickly and it's not going to stop them from doing business with us but they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country uh those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about including child care that it's going to take care we're going to have I I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time coupled with 4:04 uh the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country because I have to stay with child care I want to stay with child care but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I'm talking about including growth but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just uh that I just told you about we're going to be taking in trillions of dollars and as as much as child care uh is talked about as being expensive it's relatively speaking not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we'll be taken in we're going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people and then we'll worry about the rest of the world let's help other people but we're going to take care of our country first this is about America first it's about make America great again we have to do it because right now we're a failing Nation so we'll take care of it thank you very good question thank you and thus ends 5:02 the sixth grade book report presentations little Donnie obviously did not read his ma that took me back to I I must admit I a freshman year at College I was supposed to uh read a book and I went in and uh Dr Bryant asked me what the book was about and there something about the hapsburgs or don't know but it didn't end well and then he goes is uh what did you think of he go not a good book not a good I would not recommend it he go and he said could you hold it up I held it up and he said that's a penguin book aren't penguin history book joking but Willie what the hell was he saying no but but I'm saying he sounded Willie he sounded just like he was doing a book report in middle school and had not read the book he has no idea what he's talking talking about he's rambling incoherently and that is who people by 6:05 the way I've just got to say too because it's a pet peeve uh the the man who promised to pay down the debt and balance a budget in 2016 raised it more than any president in the history of this Republic now he's going oh because of my high tariffs because of my high taxes on workingclass Americans my high taxes on middle class Americans we're going to balance a budget quickly and we're going to make so much money I don't have to even talk about child care yeah that's the one where you go you know what I actually didn't read the book May I present on Monday can I have the weekend even if you knock me down a grade this is going to be embarrassing and by the way remember one of the core arguments about kamla Harris that you hear in certain cable news channels and websites is that she's always in the middle of a word salad do you ever watch Donald Trump you may want to give up on that argument do you ever watch his rallies did you watch him yesterday had 7:02 absolutely no clue what he was talking about and then brought it in for that Landing by the way tariffs which now apparently is the foundation of how he's going to pay for everything including Child Care are attacks on consumers in this country conservative economists tell you that too they hate the idea he's talking about growing an economy we have to finally have growth well two days ago Goldman Sachs said if Donald Trump becomes president the economy will not grow if kamla Harris does do it will grow that's Goldman Sachs that's not me that's not us those those noted socialists over at Goldman Sach say the economy would be stronger under kamla Harris so yeah I mean he doesn't obviously have any idea what he's talking about when it comes to policy and you wonder at what point even yesterday we saw online conservatives Joe and some Republicans saying rolling their eyes and saying what is he talking about here if you push even a little bit on policy you find out he's an inch deep 8:01 yeah he just doesn't know and Jee Robinson again as Willie said uh trumpers will talk about word salad as it pertains to kamla Harris let me tell you there is no comparison Donald Trump not only in that answer but in most rallies he's about 3 feet deep in lettuce and ranch dressing uh he is in the middle of a word salad that he can't get out of and and to a more important point he has never understood well let's just go through it he's never understood American history he's never understood the Constitution he's never understood our founding documents he's never understood policy and he's never apologized for not understanding policy that's one of the reasons why when people say oh I support Donald Trump why but well you know I don't like him as a man at all he's a terrible human being but I like his policies his policies really yeah I mean there there were there were very few policies it was gesture it was 99% gesture 1% policy 9:03 absolutely so Joe War and Peace by count Leo toll story is about war and about peace and U peace is better than War um uh but war is more exciting and uh you know it's it was absolutely absurd I mean you listen to that and he clearly has no idea what he's talking about uh and this idea about tariffs that he has which is wrong 100% of or as Donald Trump would say 110% of economists will tell you that he's totally wrong about tariffs it is not a tax on foreign companies it is a tax on American consumers it's a regressive tax it's a horrible tax that affects uh low-income and workingclass Americans more um than it does more affluent Americans it it was and if this was at the economic Club of New York I mean I how did how did those people who were listening to him not just like gag 10:07 or laugh or how do they keep a straight face listening to that ridiculous nonsense I have no idea yeah yeah I was I was wondering the same thing when that woman when he kept looking back at the woman who had asked the question and I just wanted to zoom in on her face and see what she was actually thinking if I was the mother of young children I wouldn't be reassured by those Child Care policies I mean maybe JD Vance's policy frankly of having aunts and uncles and grandparents as if grandparents didn't have other things to do and aunts and uncles didn't have other things to do as well looking after your tro that that seems to be the closest there is to a child care policy but Charlie Sykes I mean one of the reason I think you know you keep hearing from business people who say well I don't like Donald Trump I don't like his character but you know there are the policy issues well clearly on the childcare front there aren't very many policy issues I'm sure many of them don't like the idea of tariffs they know that this is a tax on the American Consumer does it really just come down to the idea that Donald Trump has proposed to cut corporate tax rates to 15% and and and people in the 11:07 business community and on Wall Street are prepared to hold their noses at everything else because of that 15% corporate tax rate well I think it's that I I think it's also you know Donald Trump's uh you know position on on regulation look I mean Donald Trump is essentially told um you know the business class um you know if I become president um I'm going to do whatever you want me to do um I will I will give you whatever subsidies you want I will eliminate regulations that you find to be pesy I will not raise the taxes you know I mean basically this is very very transactional from their point of view I mean this is the this is kind of the fousy and bargain and the question of course is is whether or not at some point they're sitting in that room and you know I'm watching them them applaud that that that bizarre word salad whether they it it occurs to them that you know um this man is is not good for the nation this man is not actually 12:02 good for economic stability what we most want is a stable economy that we can predict we do not want an international trade War but um for for many of them it's simply um yeah this this guy's going to do what I want and and by the way um Elon Musk is out there basically saying yeah um you know Donald Trump is going to put me in charge of all kinds of things involving you know government government regulation everything what could possibly go wrong there so you know if you think the incoherence of the word salad is is troubling wait until you see the kind of people that Donald Trump brings into into a second Administration I mean that's going to be quite something we'll have much more on the race coming up in just a bit including that debate now just 4 days away but we want to turn to some new developments surrounding Wednesday's deadly shooting at a high school in Georgia authorities have now arrested the father of the 14-year-old suspect Colin Gray was taken 13:01 into custody yesterday he faces charges of second deegree murder involuntary manslaughter and Cruelty to Children police did not offer many details other than to say Gray's charges are quote directly connected with the actions of his son and allowing him to possess a weapon two law enforcement sources tell NBC News gray bought his son an AR-15 rifle as a Christmas gift last year they don't know exactly when it was given to him but around the holidays sources say it was after police interviewed the teen last year about those online threats the teen had denied making those threats and no arrest was made Gray's son is accused of shooting and killing four people at appalachi high school on Wednesday he faces four counts of felony murder and is set to appear in court later this morning two senior law enforcement officials say they have discovered evidence of the suspect's interest in mass shootings particularly in the 20 8 attack on the high school in Parkland Florida so M we sat here yesterday and wondered how a 14-year-old could get his 14:06 hands and the guns the father had said previously when the FBI visited the family about these online threats he has hunting weapons in his home but they are locked up and that his son does not have access to them my gosh Joe and M after the threats were made allegedly he bought his son 13 or 14 years old at Christmas time an AR-15 stock rifle for Christmas last year I mean it is it is beyond shocking and caddy k um we're starting to see this obviously uh and and in this case it seems to be the what what I say we're starting to see is the the arresting of parents and and it's about time you have a 14-year-old child who is uh obviously has great mental challenges is um the cops are calling him evil uh his his aunts are 15:06 other relatives say this is a boy who basically was let down by his parents from the very beginning um and um and somehow the father buys his boy an AR style weapon after after he tells police he's going to keep guns out of his possession because the threat they have already been warned of I mean it's it's very clear I mean it's very clear he should go to jail yeah the the timetable of this and the fact that we know the police visited the home spoke to the father um spoke to the boy and then the father gave the son access to this AR-15 um and access presumably to other weapons in the house as well even though he said he didn't have unsupervised access to them gives a very clear Tik Tok I mean maybe this is the direction America is going to go to try to cut down on the 16:04 number of children that we the society seems to be happy with having killed in schools because wow there's a certain amount of fatalism about trying to do anything else at the moment um and you hear it again and again from members of Congress and members of the Republican party and members of the lobby groups that want to keep firearms in the hands of people that well we can't do anything uh there's I mean for a country that is so committed to trying to break barriers and uh introduce new technologies and do the impossible uh when it comes to this particular issue there is a well we wish we could but that's life that's the latest line it's just a fact of life uh and so maybe this is the only way the courts are going to manage to get around an extraordinary political apathy when it comes to gun shootings well it is it is a a fear it is fear from Republicans 17:00 and if anybody believes that uh gun safety laws or gun control has always just been uh practiced um or are fought by the right you know in the 60s it was fought by the left these things shift back and forth the Republicans need to shift back towards a sane a rational um uh gun policy position and if they did Charlie Sykes they they wouldn't lose a lot of Republican voters an overwhelming majority of of Republicans support Universal background checks an overwhelming number of Republican support red flag laws an overwhelming number of Republican support raising the age to 21 for people that are going in buying AR-15 style weapons an overwhelming majority of of Americans I'm sure would support enhanced background checks more more uh more complete background checks for people 18:02 let's say under the age of 30 that are going out to buy AR15s we we look and there is a a line a line that goes straight through so many of these shootings one after another after another a disturbed young man usually a disturbed young white man buys an AR-15 and he goes and he shoots up schools our movie theaters our our Baptist churches in Texas I you can go down the list sometimes it is older Disturbed people uh who who Slaughter uh those attending a a country uh Festival music festival in Vegas but again enough is enough CU I I I I go to you because I know you grew up around Hunters I in Wisconsin I grew up around hunters in Mississippi Alabama Georgia Northwest Florida they 19:03 they they want this sort of gun safety law and they're conservative Republicans this is this is American Carnage you know Donald Trump uh is running on you know make America safe again well if you're an American parent you know this is your great fear this is the Great American Nightmare and and Joe the point you were making is incredibly important because I think that there is a real disconnect between um what Republican politicians think they have to do because they're afraid of the NRA and what actual gun owners feel about all of this because you are absolutely right that you know gun safety is not a left-wing IDE it is not a partisan issue people want especially Hunters understand the you know how Central it is to treat guns in a safe and responsible Manner and you know what this is going to take at some point is for republicans to stand up turn around to the the the gun lobby and say you know what um I'm in favor of second amendment rights but we're not 20:05 going this way we are in fact going to uh go through some of the policies that you just mentioned uh we're not going to turn a blind eye to this we're not going to uh regard the shooting of children at school as a fact of life as JD Vance said yesterday um but I have to say that one of the the the the incidents that really kind of broke me on all of this was uh the massacre of the children at Sandy Hook and and after that if that was not enough to sober up the country if that was not enough to turn things around what will it take and I think that this is this is sort of this hanging Nightmare how long are we going to put up with this what's going to happen in this particular case um giving this deeply disturbed child an AR-15 a Christmas present you know I'm I'm sorry you know I have this image in my mind of of that Republican Congressman was posing you know in front of the 21:02 Christmas tree with his whole family and they're all holding weapons of you know you know guns and automatic semi-automatic weapons and everything weapons of war you know this this sort of fetishizing of the of the guns at some point that has to stop we need to have a stigma the celebration of this at the same remember when the congressmen were wearing the the AR-15 pins on the floor of I mean you know what sick is that when children are being murdered in in their classrooms it is sick and and and and is Jonathan normalizing and celebrating something that is sick well and it's a total lie it is a total lie to say that Republicans can't do the reasonable rational things that the majority of Americans want them to do without being punished this is not about voters punishing them the overwhelming majority of Voters support all the things that I 22:00 talked to even a military style ban you know majority of Americans support that I think you could probably find something uh in between what we have now and that as far as a much tougher process uh to be able to make sure that that the right people get their hands on that those guns if there are a right people to get their hands on military style weapons uh I don't think really if you talk to police officers and you talk to most vets they'll tell tell you no they don't want the same type of weapons of war that were similar to the ones that they use in Afghanistan and Iraq on the streets of America are in schools now to to make two points that I I just put out there uh one that Republicans uh can actually vote for rational gun safety laws that will protect our children when they go to school uh and two that these guns are weapons of war um I I I was just looking up Brian Mast 23:00 who is the congressman uh in in South Florida a very Republican District a very conservative District after Parkland he did what Republicans in Connecticut did after Sandy Hook and he voted for reasonable rational gun safety legislation Brian Mast even voted deban assault style weapons military style weapons and this is what he says um here he says uh the most important regrettable time of my life was the 12 years I spent in the Army uh I became a bomb technician I nearly gave my life for that lost both my legs and a finger when a roadside bomb detonated beneath me um and then he went on to say um about others on the battlefield now as a republican Congressman of Florida I don't fear becoming a political casually uh if we act by changing laws surrounding firearms and mental illness we can save lives too Congressman goes on to say most nights and in Afghanistan I welded an M4 carbine and a 40 caliber pistol 24:02 total barrel length of my M4 was approximately 14 in he goes on and I usually carry 10 magazines stacked with 20 rounds he goes on and on he goes my rifle was very similar to the AR style semi-automatic weapon used to kill students teachers and coaches I knew at margerie stonan Douglas High School in Parkland uh and uh he goes on and just he talks about how these these are military style weapons and they have no place in America kids that that Jonathan in 2018 was a Conservative Republican congressman who said that before an election who said that before a primary and has been reelected to his primary three times been reelected Congress three more times since then and one of the more conservative districts around so yes Republicans they need to stop saying they're worried about their voters it's not their voters and it's not the 25:07 Constitution they're just worried about the NRA and other gun groups that give them a lot of money yeah there's an example there of Republican taking a courageous stance and not paying the consequences for voters we saw a few do the same in Texas after the evaldi shooting but this is rare there is no there is no widespread movement here to ban these weapons of war these AR-15 style rifles even when even when it was one of those weapons that shot Donald Trump just 6 weeks or so back even then no outcry from Republicans about changing it in fact we hear from JD Vance yesterday saying that that it's just a fact of life a sad fact of life that these school shootings keep happening Eugene Robinson uh The Washington Post yesterday got their hands on some text messages that were sent from a mother um and to her daughters who were in that school I I can say thankfully those daughters got out those girls got out saely but it is heartbreaking it's her words to her 26:01 saying you please stay safe I love you they prayed together they they did overtext the Our Father together it is impossible to read without tearing up and yet the governor of that state Brian Kemp is saying well now is not the time to talk about Solutions now is not the time to talk about policy even though this tragedy happened in his backyard it was almost far worse you write that now actually is exactly the time to deal with it it absolutely is that is the Cowardly cop out that Republicans take uh when when when something like this happens and it happens so regularly it is you know in what universe is that acceptable but when when there's a school shooting they immediately say as Brian Kemp did said Wednesday night well today is not the day uh for politics or policy but this is precisely the time the day the minute to talk about politics and policy because it's all about that I mean you can't I I don't think we're going to be able 27:01 to to legislate away bad parenting and so if what we know about the situation is true this this father was a terrible father who who failed his his son his his son who is a child by the way he 14 years old who he was failed but but we're not going to get rid of of that but we can mitigate we can lessen the possibility that that sort of situation ends in this kind of tragedy Georgia does not have a safe storage law um so those officers who interviewed the family last year uh were not able to require that those guns be properly stored under lock and key Georgia does not have a red flag law so those officers again could not go to a court and say C you know can we have a a court order uh to temporarily confiscate these weapons because this is a potentially dangerous situation there are those are 28:02 I think baby steps that could be taken uh that would make us safer that would make our children safer and and yet we won't refuse even to talk about them well and and and Brian km saying now's not the time to talk about safe storage laws no now's especially the time to talk about safe storage laws there's no reason why there shouldn't be safe storage laws that that is that protects gun owners in their own home that protects their children and again I know Charlie uh probably had the same experience that I had nobody that I knew gr up left their guns around or or they were all locked up you walk into the house if they had shotguns whatever guns they had they were always locked up and this this whole idea that now's not the time to talk about save storage and now's not the usually you'll hear people go oh well we there's no gun legislation that would have helped this or that or the other yeah there is there always is well uh Jonathan lamir mentioned vice 29:05 presidential candidate JD Vance's take on this matter uh take a listen states with very strict gun laws and you've got some states that don't have strict gun laws at all and the states with strict gun laws they have a lot of school shootings and the states without strict gun laws some of them have school shootings too so clearly strict gun laws is not the thing that is going to solve this problem what is going to solve this problem I and I really do believe this is look I I don't like this I don't like to admit this I don't like that this is a fact of life but if you're if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines you realize that our schools are soft targets and we have got to bolster security at our schools so that a person who walks through the front door we we've got a bolster security so that if a psycho wants to walk through the front door and kill a bunch of children they're not able to and guys there were school resource offices in the Georgia high school in 30:03 appalache high school they confronted the shooter possibly preventing much worse Carnage so there were some of those precautions taken at this high school that Senator Vance is talking about and the truth of the matter is he's right that at this moment this is a fact of life and In fairness his full comment was I don't like that this is a fact of life he said we don't have to like the reality we live in but it is the reality we live in so you would think that would prompt him then to say let's sit down and change this reality let's sit down and do something about it because clearly having the school resource officers there who acted heroically the other day and probably prevented more kids and teachers from dying it wasn't enough to save the poor people who did die so that is ex that comment that he made right there is another very very Stark example of the difference between these two campaigns Harris Waltz versus Trump Vance they see it Trump Vance as a fact of life and come Laris immediately said after the shooting this is a choice we're making and we have to make a different Choice 31:03 people don't want this to be a fact of life no mothers don't don't mothers don't want to fear wants to choose this fathers don't want to fear sending their children to school wondering whether they're going to see them when they come home children are don't want to go to school uh terrified by it and Charlie Sykes it doesn't have to be a fact of life or as Donald Trump said I believe it was in Iowa we have to just get up over it spee for fore say at that for for fore for for I me CH foree
