TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT AND FOCUS
ON JOB CREATION DURING
THIS TRIP TODAY.
>> KATHERINE, THE PHILADELPHIA
DISTRICT ATTORNEY, IS SUING
ELON MUSK AND HIS PAC IN AN
EFFORT TO STOP
HIS CONTROVERSIAL MILLION
DOLLAR A DAY GIVEAWAY
TO REGISTERED VOTERS WHO SIGNED
HIS PETITION.
>> WHAT'S THE LATEST THERE?
YEAH, LOOK, THEY'RE SAYING
THAT THIS IS IN THEIR BELIEF IT
COULD VIOLATE THE LAW AND THAT
IT COULD BE ILLEGAL.
THIS IS AS MUSK CONTINUES.
THERE'S $1 MILLION GIVEAWAYS.
THIS ISN'T THE FIRST THAT WE'VE
HEARD OF FROM ENTITIES EITHER
THREATENING TO SUE ELLEN SUING
ELON MUSK OR WARNING HIM
THAT THIS COULD BE ILLEGAL.
THIS IS STILL OBVIOUSLY
DEVELOPING THROUGH VARIOUS
DIFFERENT ENTITIES HERE, BUT IT
COMES AS WE KNOW THAT THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS
WARNED MUSK THAT HE'S DOING
COULD BE ILLEGAL.
THAT LETTER THAT WE REPORTED
ON, SOURCES CAME FROM THE DOJ'S
ELECTION CRIMES UNIT.
SO A LOT GOING ON HERE IN TERMS
OF THE LEGALITY ASSOCIATED
WITH WHAT MUSK CONTINUES TO DO
HERE WITH HIS $1 MILLION
GIVEAWAYS, THOUGH, OUR REPORTER
WILL STEAKIN HAS SPOKEN
TO PEOPLE CLOSE TO ELON
AND CLOSE TO THE PAC.
AND IT APPEARS THIS POINT
THAT MUSK CONTINUES AND WILL
CONTINUE TO GIVE OUT THESE $1
MILLION GIVEAWAYS, IF YOU WILL
.
>> ALEX TRUMP ALSO VOWING
TO GIVE HIS FORMER
PRESIDENTIAL OPPONENT
ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.
>> BROAD POWER OVER FOOD
AND MEDICINE.
IF HE WINS THE ELECTION.
>> WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN FOR
FOOD AND DRUG POLICY?
>> WELL, DIANE, I MEAN, I THINK
THE JURY'S REALLY STILL OUT
ON THAT.
BUT AS YOU MENTIONED, KENNEDY
WANTS AN OPPONENT OF TRUMP NOW
HAS ENDORSED HIM.
YESTERDAY AT THAT RALLY
AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.
RFK DID SPEAK WHOSE PART
OF THAT FIVE HOUR LINE UP.
AND THEN WE ALSO HEARD
THE FORMER PRESIDENT BASICALLY
SAY, I'M GOING TO LET HIM
GO WILD ON HEALTH.
I'M GOING TO LET HIM GO WILD
ON FOOD.
I'M GOING TO LET HIM GO WILD
ON THE MEDICINES.
BUT -- BUT AGAIN, NOT A LOT
OF CLARITY AS AS AS TO
WHAT MEANS.
BUT AS YOU NOTED, KENNEDY IS A
CONSPIRACY THEORIST.
HE'S DABBLED IN ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSPIRACIES.
AND HE'S ALSO A NOTED
ANTI-VAXXER.
>> SELINA HARRIS WILL BE
BACK IN WASHINGTON TOMORROW
TO DELIVER A MAJOR ADDRESS.
SHE'S SPEAKING AT THE SAME SITE
WHERE FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP
SPOKE TO SUPPORTERS BEFORE
THE ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL.
SO WHY THIS LOCATION AND WHAT'S
AT STAKE IN THIS?
LOOK, TOMORROW IS EXACTLY
ONE WEEK BEFORE ELECTION DAY
AND HER CAMPAIGN WANTED TO PICK
A SYMBOLIC LOCATION FOR VICE
PRESIDENT HARRIS TO DELIVER
HER CLOSING ARGUMENT TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THAT'S WHY THEY PICKED
THE ELLIPSE HERE IN WASHINGTON,
D.C. THAT'S WHERE DONALD
TRUMP HAD DELIVERED HIS REMARKS
TO PROTESTERS BEFORE
THEY STORMED THE CAPITOL
ON JANUARY SIX.
SO THAT GIVES YOU AN INDICATION
THAT THIS SPEECH REALLY
GOING TO BE FOCUSED
ON THE THREAT THAT SHE BELIEVES
DONALD TRUMP TO DEMOCRACY
AND THE FUNDAMENTAL IDEALS
OF AMERICA.
BUT HER CAMPAIGN AIDES SAY
THAT THIS IS GOING TO MOVE
BEYOND JUST THE ANTI-TRUMP
MESSAGE, THAT SHE'S GOING TO
ARGUE IT IS TIME TO TURN
THE PAGE, THE CHAOS
AND DISUNITY UNDER DONALD
TRUMP, AND THAT SHE WILL ALSO
DISCUSS WHAT HER PLAN WOULD
LOOK LIKE IN HER FIRST TERM
IN OFFICE VERSUS DONALD.
SO THIS IS ALL ABOUT LAYING OUT
THE EVIDENCE THAT LETTING
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DECIDE
OUTCOME.
>> AND KATHERINE, A MEMO
CIRCULATING AMONG
TRUMP ADVISERS PROPOSES
BYPASSING THE FBI SECURITY
PROCESS FOR
POLITICAL APPOINTEES.
WHY DO THEY WANT THAT?
AND HOW WOULD THAT WORK?
>> YEAH, LOOK, IT'S A
GOOD QUESTION AND THERE'S LOTS
OF LOTS OF ELEMENTS TO THIS.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS HERE
THAT IF TRUMP WERE TO WIN
THE ELECTION, HIS ADVISERS
ARE PROPOSING A PLAN,
THAT WOULD GET THE PEOPLE THAT
HE WANTS AS POLITICAL
APPOINTEES IN MORE.
THAT MEANS BYPASSING THE FBI.
THEY DON'T TRUST THE FBI FOR
REASONS THAT YOU'VE HEARD
TRUMP TALK ABOUT.
BUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS
IS, IS THAT A LOT OF THE
PEOPLE CLOSE TO DONALD
TRUMP AND PEOPLE WHO HE COULD
POTENTIALLY BE CONSIDERING
PUTTING IN THE CABINET
ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
INDICTED WHO POTENTIALLY
HAVE CRIMINAL RECORDS.
PEOPLE WHO CAN'T GET SECURITY
CLEARANCES.
SO THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS
IS AT LEAST THE PROPOSAL THAT'S
FLOATING IS THAT WE CAN
GET SOME OUTSIDE ENTITY TO DO
THE SECURITY BACKGROUND CHECKS.
THEN IN TRUMP'S VIEW AND HIS
ADVISERS VIEW, IF THEY HAVE
THAT OUTSIDE BACKGROUND CHECK,
THEY CAN AUTOMATICALLY
BE CLEARED FOR CLASSIFIED
BRIEFINGS AND THEN THEY WOULD
HAVE ACCESS TO SENSITIVE
INFORMATION.
AND OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF NATIONAL
CONCERN AND NATIONAL SECURITY
CONCERNS POTENTIALLY.
AND ALSO THE QUESTION
OF WHETHER SOME OF THE CABINET
APPOINTEES, IF HE'S CONSIDERING
BYPASSING THE FBI BACKGROUND
CHECK FOR THE CABINET WHETHER
THE SENATE WOULD EVEN ACCEPT
SUCH A THING D
