[09:55] It would also crack down on so-called doom loops and instead connect people with a live representative with the touch of a button
[10:15] KARINE JEAN-PIERRE, White House Press Secretary: Americans are tired of being played for suckers, and President Biden and Vice President Harris will continue to use every tool available to protect Americans from corporate greed and practices that hit people in their pocketbooks.
[13:16] On Saturday, former President Trump claimed his campaign had been hacked and suggested Iran was to blame. It stems from a Microsoft report one day earlier detailing a spear phishing incident from June, where Iranian military intelligence sent fake e-mails to a high-ranking official of a presidential campaign from a compromised e-mail account of a former senior adviser.
[17:57] CHRISTOPHER KREBS: Well, I think it's important to note that the hack piece and the leak piece are separate. We may not have certainty whether they're actually related, whether this Robert individual that anonymously e-mailed Politico, Washington Post, others is sharing information that was stolen from the Trump campaign. That's, I think, just something that we need to kind of set out.
[21:20] CHRISTOPHER KREBS: Yes, well, I think this does speak to journalistic ethics and responsibility of platforms that receive this information, outlets that receive the information and using good judgment on whether it's appropriate to release. I think the second aspect is, actually, it's the voters. They need to be attuned to the fact that foreign adversaries, our enemies, are trying to get into our heads. We are the targets here. It's not just the campaigns. It's not the election system itself. It's the American voter. And we have to keep in mind that American voters decide American elections. And we need to take a beat, take a pause, understand that we're the target and not let them be successful.
[22:12] So if you have a question about an election, don't listen to some random person on X or Facebook or whatever. Go to the election official web page. They have FAQs set up that are primed for just those sorts of inquiries and research. And if something that you see online really resonates with you and kind of gets the lizard brain going, again, pause for a moment, ask why you're being served that information, why you're being targeted, and then feel free to do a little bit of research and to confirm what you're reading.
[24:41] AMY WALTER, The Cook Political Report: This is, and the battleground -- those are the three battleground states (Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) that, if Kamala Harris were to win just those three and a single electoral vote in Nebraska, she would get to 270 electoral votes.
[26:43] TAMARA KEITH: Right, and Democrats broadly -- so any Democrat, a generic Democrat, a ham sandwich Democrat, would probably have the same issue with the economy and immigration.
[31:15] GEOFF BENNETT: And, Tam, the Harris' campaign -- the Harris campaign, their tactics are different. As evidence of that, they posted a social media message on Donald Trump's own social media site, TRUTH Social, basically trolling him because of his obsession about crowd sizes.
[47:03] HOLLY LICHT: We purposely make some mistakes on the ballots, like over-voting or cross-voting, so that we know that the machine is working correctly.
[49:12] But, in a gallery next door, a special exhibit offers a different kind of window. Scrimshaw is the traditional art form of carving or engraving on the bones, teeth and ivory of marine mammals, typically whales and walruses. It's most associated with 19th century whaling, an industry long centered, think Herman Melville and "Moby Dick," here in New Bedford. The whaling museum in what's still a port city with a working harbor houses the world's largest scrimshaw collection.
[53:09] Her work at the museum part of an ongoing project she titled Breach looks at past undertold stories, including members of her tribe who sailed on whaling ships. Her scrimshaw studies, as she calls them, are made of ceramic and the breach she addresses is moral, legal, ownership of the land and environmental, including today sea rise.
[54:41] But I hope that, ultimately, what people come away with is a sense of kind of survival and survivance, of tradition and of craft and of communities, of the whales themselves.
