c'mon, we're right there. c'mon baby. it's the only we need. go, go, go, go! ah! touchdown baby! -touchdown! are your neighbors watching the same game? yeah, my 5g home internet delays the game a bit. but you get used to it. try these. they're noise cancelling earmuffs. i stole them from an airport. it's always something with you, man. great! solid! -greek salad? exactly! don't delay the game with verizon or t-mobile 5g home internet. catch it on the xfinity 10g network.

>> does that end up hurting him enough that elvis's son, nephew, can win? >> you know, that's a good question. you know, how does that translate for folks? to be honest, stepping away from

it and being this far, i don't think it will really factor. for a lot of those voters. there hasn't been a lot of blowing up around that. and yeah, it was a scandal. i think -- >> they're blowing up about it. it's hurt his popularity. it's made him very unpopular, tate reeves. >> yeah, but the question is how does that then translate into votes? donald trump is unpopular. but that has him beating joe biden. i'm not going to base my experience in politics. i'm not going to base how a campaign is going to turn out based on who is unpopular. what i'm going to base it on is how reeves and presley are managing their ground game. and how they're managing the vote. and who they're turning out. are they turning out voters who see reeves as unpopular? are they taking advantage of his unpopularity among republicans? and using that to their

advantage. so you know, i think, again, smart tactics at this stage in this national election, because this is part of the national election, joy. you know that. >> absolutely. >> so smart tactics at this stage at every level is critically important, and those of us in the democracy space have got to get smarter and quicker and team up faster around these elections so that we are prepared for what's about to hit us when this game really begins afoot in january. >> i'm going to give you the last word on this connie. biden's unpopularity is frightening democrats now. he's not winning in most of the swing state polls. is that something democrats should be concerned about a year out in your view? >> you just answered it, it's a year out. i want to say something. no democrat thought he was the moderate. no democrat ever thought mike dewine was a moderate. this is a national narrative that occurs too often. he had a few months during covid, but i have covered this

administration, i have covered him for years. i have covered state republicans for two decades. there is not a moderate among them at this point. we're talking about controlling women's bodies. i was listening to another network briefly this evening suggesting this election will be over and everybody is going to be calm and forget about it. they're so underestimating the rage of women, not just the compassion we have for other women, but the rage we are feeling that here we are, here i am at age 66, telling men still that they have no business trying to control women's bodies. you have not begun to see what we're capable of in this presidential race. >> yeah, i think i have seen some of the numbers out of ohio that the percentage of people who are angry about roe v. wade being overturned is 40%, and those who are dissatisfied, it's like 7 in 10 are either angry or dissatisfied. angry is the highest number. connie schultz, michael steele, basil smikle, thank you very much. steve will be back with us at

7:30 when polls do close in ohio. if you're still in line, stay in line and vote, vote. up next, the worst fears of trump's attorneys become reality as he blurts out an incredibly damaging admission on the stand. who would have thunk it. the latest from the courtroom when "the reidout" continues. cs

when donald trump sat for his first deposition last year in new york attorney general letitia james' probe into the trump business's practices he invoked the fifth amendment a lot, nearly 450 times. a smart move however, because it seems any time trump speaks under oath, he can't help bum incriminate himself. it is who he is. yesterday, trump did not invoke his fifth amendment right against self incrimination. and considering that it is a civil triem, it would have been seen negatively by the judge,

but perhaps he should have considered it because beyond the theatrics of the day from trump, including attacking both letitia james and judge arthur engoron from the witness stand, trump made a critical admission that is at the tart of the case. trump admitted that the intent in providing the false financial statements with trump's personal guarantee was to induce banks to loan him money. as the new republic puts it, while it might not sound like much, the admission is key to the new york attorney general's case which hopes to prove trump deceived banks and insurers by overvaluing his net weather. trump essentially admitted on the stand these financial documents were produced with the express intent to induce lending where they were likely to secure loans at far lower iert rates due to the overinflated valuation. last week, a banking experts testified those terms likely saved trump and his company more than $168 million.

joining me now is andrew weissmann, former fbi general counsel, msnbc legal analyst, and cohost of the prosecuting donald trump podcast. andrew, you know, donald trump's admission on the stand, given the fact that judge engoron has already found for letitia james' office on the substantive questions, seems bizarre. a huge error. is it just that he's got no self control? isn't this case over? >> yes, i mean, in terms of the outcome, i think the only issue is what are the kinds of remedies that the judge is going to impose. i sort of have two thoughts on that. one is, you know, joy, very frequently, witnesses who are not telling the truth may start off well, but as the day progresses, it sort of gets harder and harder to maintain focus on what the truth is and what you're supposed to be saying. and you know, the worst

admissions by donald trump all happened in the afternoon. where as he said, in the afternoon, he was like, yes, i agree. the intent of doing this was to induce them to loan me money. he was also asked, by the way, can you say and are you saying now that the financial statements are true and accurate? that should be a softball. joy, if i asked you, did you ever file things with a bank that are true and accurate, you would be like, i don't even remember what they are, but of course i did. >> of course. >> right? he was like, essentially, his answer, i'm paraphrasing, was sort of, i'll get back to you. i mean, like it's a softball and he couldn't just say of course, that's the case. and i think it's because he was thinking, well, i know they're not so i don't want to lie about that. and adhere to what he had said in the morning. i think the other part is he's acting out and his behavior with respect to the judge, to the prosecutors, i do think is relevant in terms of the remedy

that the judge has to impose. so one of the things the judge will be deciding is whether donald trump can continue to do business in the state of new york. should he still be here? should he still be banking here, have access to customers in new york? and if you have someone who is so unrepentant, who is so out of control, who so much doesn't care about the rule of law, it seems the judge could easily weigh in his conduct here to say, you know what, this is not the kind of person a recidivist we want to have preying on people in new york. i think he hurt himself substantively and in terms of his behavior. >> people, i think, too often try to assign four dimensional chess to donald trump's actions when he's really a 77-year-old man with no self-control. one of the ways rolling stone was trying to suss out why he was literally yelling at the judge yesterday, this is it, according to two sources

familiar with the matter, and another person briefed on trump team legal strategies the former president and his lawyers are intentionally ting to provoke the judge to a nuclear level reaction. several trump attorneys and key allies have advised the more the new york judge supposedly overreacts including remanding trump, the better their case for an appeal will be. what do you think of that? >> as far as overreacted, it's donald trump. i think there's a very good argument that the judge has underreacted. when donald trump for the second time spoke about and denigrated the judge's law clerk, i was very much saying that if you impose only $10,000, you are sending almost a sort of welcoming of it, because you're dealing with somebody who smells out power and that power dynamic. and i thought, if anything,

judge engoron was holding his fire and actually trying not to react. and you should know, most judges are very aware that litigants who are losing try that tactic. they try to goad the judge. i don't think he's falling for it. i don't think that strategy is going to work. if anything, attacking a law clerk, i don't think on appeal, those judges, they have law clerks also. so i don't think it's going to work. >> yeah, and it might not be a tactic. he might just not have any self control. andrew, thank you. still ahead, we are moments away from polls closing in ohio. steve kornacki, there he is, he's standing by at the big board where he lives, with the latest.

i'm sarah escherich, i'm the life enrichment director at independence village, the senior living community in waukee, iowa. everybody here really, really make you feel like family and that they love you. our goal with tiktok was to enrich the lives of our residents and just to be able to show people what senior living can be like. i think i am a tiktok grandma. my kids think i am. i mean, we're the ones that are being entertained. time goes faster when you're having fun.

polls just closed ipohio with voters deciding whether or not to enshrine abortion rights in the state's constitution. and whether or not to legalize

marijuana. steve kornacki is back at the big board with the latest. what have you got, steve? >> yeah, we do have in ohio, the polls closing just about right now. in fact, you see that on the screen right there. and the nbc news characterization of that issue one, which would put the right to an abortion in the state constitution and allow for a limit after fetal viability, the decision desk is saying too early to call, but yes is leading on that. that is -- remember, ohio is the one state we have an exit poll in tonight. we're going to look in a minute for returns to tart coming in from ohio. taking look at the situation in the kentucky governor's race, one-third of the vote is in. the overall tally state-wide, beshear almost ten points ahead of cameron. i think a couple things are starting to stand out. one is just we're talking about you get full results from counties, how is he doing

relative to how he did in '19? because he barely won in '19. is he at or above the levels of 2019. we're starting to see counties getting close to being all in. starting to see a bit of a pattern where he's running, for instance, in bell county, running about two points above where he finished in 2019. small county, but 95% in. there's about one precinct left there. that's an improvement for him. we're seeing a lot of these counties, they're small, rural counties. a lot are republican counties. here's a big one actually, laurel county is one of the largest plurality producing counties for republicans in the state. more than 90% of the vote is in there right now. cameron is winning it, but andy beshear only got 26% in 2019. 91% in, he's at 31.5%. these are good signs. these are not huge shifts in huge counties in terms of population, but we're seeing a number of counties that come in like this.

the other thing on a bigger scale that's encouraging right now would be take the second largest county in the state, say this is where lexington university is, core democratic county, but 85% nearly of the vote is in right now. no surprise that he's winning bill, but sitting at basically 72% of the vote. he got 66% of the vote out of this county in 2019. you take a look at some of the areas right around fayette county, the suburbs of lexington, we have more than 60% of the vote in, and here's beshear at 57%. he got 49% of the vote last time around. so you look at where the state capital is, frankfurt is here, only a third of the vote. beshear is higher. there's a trend he's landing a couple points consistently above where he did in 2019, that's what he needs to do. that couple big turnouts from the core democratic counties.

jefferson, by far the biggest county. all we have gotten so far is the early vote out of there, but again, beshear banking a big number from there and the votes to come will still be very democratic, so that's another big opportunity for him. one of the other big counties, warren, where bowling green is. we don't have numbers yet, but that's a county he was able to win in 2019. we'll see what the numbers look like there, and then again, the cincinnati suburbs. now nearly 90% of the vote is in in boone county, where florence is, right outside cincinnati. again, these are pretty large counties as kentucky goes in terms of population. 90% in. cameron leading, no surprise there, but what did beshear get in '19, 41%. with 90% in, he's running above that level. go next door, canton county, only about a third of the vote in. this will come down, but beshear got 49.5% of the vote here, won it by a whisker in 2019.

this is where covington is. keep an eye on that. and campbell, we have more than 73%, basically three-quarters of the vote in in campbell county, and there's are beshear at nearly 60%. he got 51.5% in 2019. it will come down some, but these are all encouraging signs for andy beshear right now in kentucky. just reset the leaderboard there, 37% in right now. again, we are seeing in most of these counties where we're getting more than 90% in, some of them are very small, but in most of them, it's small, but it's an improvement from 2019 for beshear. >> i have a question, steve. this is fascinating to me. i'm curious whether beshear is overperforming in some of the red, more rural counties versus his election four years ago? >> yeah, good example is right

down here in bell county. you know, 95% of the vote is in. i think there's one more precinct to come. he's running about two points above what he did in 2019. again, this is relatively small county. but again, if you're running two points better, we're seeing this in a number of counties like this, those will add up because what cameron needs, cameron needs to improve on what matt bevin did, the former governor who beshear defeated. if cameron is running well but not as well and i think we're seeing that in the eastern kentucky counties are we're seeing 90% of the vote in, he has to overperform from what beavan did in 2019. so far, we're not really seeing that. >> fascinating stuff. steve kornacki, we're not saying you could never leave the big board, we're just saying don't leave it in the next, like, 12 hours or so.

and if you hear of anything, holler. let your producers know and we'll come back. go ahead. >> we just got our first votes in in ohio. on issue one. this is that abortion referendum. this is franklin county, this is a core democratic county. big democratic area. and you see just 3% in. 76% for yes. and then you have stark county, about 20% in. 64% for yes. keep in mind, in ohio, the early vote, the mail vote, gets reported out first. again, if it's a democrat or republican election, you would see the high water mark for democrats. you would expect the initial batch of votes reported in every county in ohio pretty much is going to be the best it gets for the yes side. but again, these are big numbers. now we have jumped to 22% in in franklin county. almost more than a fifth of the vote in in franklin county. 79% on yes, and i can tell you, if we go back and look at this

summer, when they had that sort of test vote, where the opponents of issue one tried to raise the threshold to 60% for a constitutional amendment, that went down in defeat. the number there in franklin county was 75%, so this is, again, sitting a little above that. you expect it to come down a little bit as the vote comes in. it's still a core democratic county. you're looking at numbers here that look like they're probably going to fall somewhere close to where they fell this summer. this summer, that initiative to raise the threshold, to make it harder to enact issue one, lost 57/43. so the yes side on issue one has room to fade from their performance this summer, but initially at least in franklin county, big county here, may not be seeing that at all. >> it ain't fading. abortion is still a very, very, very hot issue.

women and not too few men are pretty angry about it. steve, please stick around and wave your hand if anything else comes in and when more results come in. up next, a live update as israel continues its relentless assault amid growing calls for a humanitarian cease-fire. after advil. feeling better? on top of the worlddddd!!! before advil. advil targets pain at the source of inflammation. when pain comes for you, come back fast with advil liqui-gels. generalized myasthenia gravis made my life a lot harder. but the picture started changing when i started on vyvgart. vyvgart is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

after this war with hamas ends. his comments offered the latest and clearest indication yet that israel plans to reoccupy the territory that it turned over to ostensive palestinian control in 2005. israel has continued to control access to gaza from land and sea. hamas won elections to govern the strip in 2006, the last time there was an election there. netanyahu also said today that no gas or aid workers will enter gaza until all of the israeli hostages are released. joining me now from tel aviv is nbc news correspondent hala gorani. what is the situation on the ground in gaza, and given the fact the israeli prime minister has said no aid workers, no oil, no nothing gets in, are there aid workers still on the ground and are they able to operate at all? >> reporter: well, agencies are operating. you mentioned the u.n. relief and works agency which is in charge of refugees. it has been for decades, in

fact. there are developments on the ground militarily. the israeli prime minister has announced that the israeli military is encircling gaza and operating inside of the city, which means that perhaps this is really we're beginning this new chapter of this war, which is entering its second month where israeli soldiers are going, perhaps, tunnel to tunnel, door to door. and building to building. the indefinite period that you mentioned, the israeli prime minister saying israel will be in charge of the gaza strip security for an indefinite period, he did say that, but what does that mean exactly? does that mean they will reoccupy gaza in the way they were occupying gaza 15-plus years ago? that's very unlikely. could it mean they will establish some kind of security buffer that will eat into the gaza strip where there will be no civilians? united states has said time and again that it opposes the idea of a reoccupation of gaza,

certainly in the forum that that occupation took many years ago. the concern from the palestinian side is if there is a security buffer, will palestinian civilians who have been forced to leave ever be able to return. as far as the humanitarian situation, you mentioned how dire it is, more than 10,000 people dead, according to the health ministry operated by hamas. and there is -- there are reports that the icrc and palestinian red crescent said humanitarian convoys have been hit on their way south. this is a complaint we have heard from humanitarian agencies time and again. there's no safe place in gaza. i should mention one small bright spot, joy. that is the number of evacuations through rafah into egypt has increased. i'm looking down at the figures. at least 500 people, most dual nationals and foreign nationals, have been able to leave the gaza

strip, as well as a handful of injured gazans. in those idp internally displaced camps, joy, there are diseases that are starting, skin conditions, diarrhea, all sorts of problems. and people there just cannot make it to the hospital who are overwhelmed with much, much graver concerns right now. back to you. >> hala gorani, thank you. please stay safe. thank you for that report. much appreciated. still ahead, hundreds of artists band together as activists demanding president biden push for an immediate cease-fire in gaza. three of those artists join me next.

kentucky governor's race. it's still too close to call, but democrat andy beshear is leading. steve kornacki is standing by, and if there's any news on that front, we will bring it to you immediately. but first, over the weekend in tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets around the globe. in london, paris, berlin, rome, chile, greece, as well as an washington, d.c., all demanding an immediate cease-fire in gaza. people of all races, religions, nationalities and professions have joined that call, including over 200 artists, actors, and musicians, who signed an open letter to president biden, writing, in part, we urge your administration, congress, and all world leaders, to honor all of the lives in the holy land and call for and facilitate a cease-fire without delay, an

end to the bombing of gaza, and the safe release of hostages. we refused to tell future generations the story of our silence, that we stood by and did nothing. as emergency relief chief martin griffiths told you any news, history is watching. joining me now are actors wallace sean and cynthia nixon. and standup comedian mola mayer. all our activists who signed on to this open letter calling on president biden to demand a cease-fire. thank you all for being here. it's such a pleasure to have you. in such awkward circumstances, but i just want to go around the table. i will start with you, mo. this is personal for you, obviously because your family is there. they're in the west bank. just tell me how you are doing and what you want to see differently done by the administration. >> first and foremost, i would love to see a cease-fire. the preservation of innocent

civilian life is the most important thing to all of us here today. i also want to just acknowledge how absurd it is to even have to say it out loud. that innocent killing of people's wrong, and you have to say this out loud. this is the point that we have gotten to, as a people, it's almost controversial. it is controversial just to ask for a cease-fire, knowing that so many innocent civilians are dying. >> i was your family? doing >> in the west bank it's the day-to-day thing. it's a tremendous amount of settler violence coming from the illegal occupation that's their, from the different settlements that are there. every day it's terrifying. i'm constantly reaching out to see if they're okay, how they're doing, do they have enough, food enough water. clearly the situation is much different there than it is in gaza, where they don't have any water, don't have any food,

don't have any electricity, which is a war crime. but it's still continuing to happen, which is absolutely mind-blowing. i don't know, this just needs to stop. it just absolutely needs to stop. >> and cynthia, there's been a lot of tension in hollywood about whether people say something, don't say something, and what you say. and i think it's very emotional, i think all around, on all sides. what made you decide to sign on to this letter? and what do you want to see done differently? >> absolutely. i think we're all here because we want a cease-fire. i will just tell you, i have three children, two of them are jewish, and i woke up on the morning of october 7th and i heard what it happened and i burst into tears because i was so devastated about what it happened to 1400 israelis that had been killed, the 200 plus people who have been taken hostage, but i also was so upset because i knew about the

violence to come. i have to say, my oldest child is very centered in his jewish identity and is really the person in our family who is pulling all of us and saying we have to shout from the rooftops. we have to do everything to stop this, to call for a cease-fire, and safe return of the hostages and humanitarian aid in gaza, where it is so desperately needed. >> and wallace, as a jewish american yourself, why do you think it is so hard for people to hold both of those two ideas at the same time, that it is wrong to kill civilians no matter whether they are arab or muslim or jewish, but that also a cease-fire is not somehow supporting hamas? >> well, i think a lot of jewish americans are schooled in the idea that the murder of

the jews in europe during the second world war taught a lesson that jews must protect themselves and that there are no rules to guide them and to limit them or to restrain them. they must do anything they feel they need to do to protect themselves. i am more drawn to the idea that we need to all protect ourselves against each other and against the somewhat horrible side of our own nature, which can be called upon it anytime. so i think many of the people, particularly, as you say, in hollywood, don't understand. people have asked me, why are you protesting against killing people in gaza but you didn't protest the massacre of the

israelis on october the 7th? and the reason is, i am an american and i'm paying taxes to the american government. i don't pay taxes to hamas and they don't care what i think. but the american government is supposed to care if we are theoretically our democracy. >> indeed. i wonder, have you all heard from the white house? >> i have not heard from the white house. >> no response? >> no, no response. nobody has hit me up. i would love it if they would. i would love to talk about what is happening with the palestinians the last somebody five years. the fact that this is even a morsel of surprise is absolutely upset a. this has been going on for quite some time. i don't want to see any innocent life, anymore innocent life taken. it's absurd that we have to continue to have this conversation. i feel like it's a cycle that they wanted to be stuck in, to be against each other, the finger-pointing against each

other. it's not with the reality is here. i come from a muslim palestinian background. i'm american. and productive stateless miss and being a refugee to america. i'm living the american dream. i'm a privileged refugee that had a dream and was able to accomplish it. the children and gaza don't have that chance. they are completely blocked in. hospitals being bombed, religious from a church being bombed, i mean, there's not even a location that i can think of that hasn't been hit. white phosphorus is being used. it's illegal. it's an absolute war crime. i don't want to see any more people die. they are writing their names on their children's babies. imagine a scenario where you have to do this. they are separating their families to preserve their own lineage. i mean, that is insane to think about. for us to come together as artists, we would rather be working and doing our thing, focusing on that. but it's impossible to sit

still while something egregious as this is happening. >> i appreciate the fact that you all came together, the artists came together across different religions, and i think that's important, ethnicities, everyone coming together, because it is a message that should not be controversial. pieces not controversial. it's actually a good thing. thank you, wallace shawn, cynthia nixon, mo a mayor. that's tonight reidout. the polls are about close in mississippi, rhode island, texas. stay with nbc throughout the night as results come in from all the key races. all in with chris hayes starts now. ts now. >> good evening from new york. and kruse's. it's election night in america, and we are watching waiting for results and key races. democratic governor andy beshear is up for reelection in kentucky, as is the republican governor kate dreams of mississippi, where st
