billions of problems. sore gums? bleeding gums? painful flossing? there's a therabreath for you. therabreath healthy gums oral rinse fights gingivitis and plaque and prevents gum disease for 24 hours. so you can... breathe easy, there's therabreath at walmart. hello, i'm wolf blitzer. it's 1:00 in washington. call it what you will. embellishment, mischaracterization, lies. his telling is more evident than ever. with exactly two weeks to go until the critical mid-term elections, the president is touting a middle class tax cut plan and mysterious middle easterners are hidden in a caravan and he knows what his supporters want to hear and is not afraid to deliver for them. let's take a closer look at the
10:01 am
falsehoods from just over the past 20 hours alone. both big and small. >> i have so many people voting illegally in this country, it's a disgrace. voter id, folks. voter id. on day one. i approved the keystone and the dakota access pipeline. 48,000 jobs. day one. day one. anybody want to leave and go vote and come back? get behind about 50,000 people outside. who we love. we put big screens out for them. let's wave to them. we are going to be putting in a 10% tax cut for middle income families. it's going to be put in next week. 10% tax cut. >> you know how the caravan started? does everyone know what this
10:02 am
means? i think the democrats had something to do with it and now they are saying i think we made a big mistake. we have a brand-new member of the u.s. supreme court, justice brett kavanaugh. this is such an honor because you had many presidents that never get to put a justice on the supreme court. republicans passed. the biggest tax cut and reform in history with massive tax cuts for the middle class. >> take your camera and go into the middle and search. you will find ms 13, middle eastern, you will find everything. guess what. we are not allowing them in our country. >> some supporters admit they know the president is prone to exaggerate or lie, but that doesn't seem to be a problem for them. let's go to the senior correspondent who is working the story for us. ted cruz rally in houston. what impression did you get from
10:03 am
supporters on the ground? do they care about the lies and the mischaracterizations? >> inside the arena in houston or his rallies across the country, trump supporters are not fact checking, but being fired up by the show. when you talk to the reporters they share his views on immigration and his world view as a nationalist, not a globalist and other issues. two weeks before the mid-terms, the question is what voters outside are saying. we are taking a closer look at where the president is traveling, where he is want and where he's not. president trump knows the november election is all about him. he worries his supporters do not. >> pretend i'm on the ballot. i'm not on the ticket, but i am on the ticket. >> two weeks before election day, a new air of uncertainty hangs over the campaign, revolving almost entirely around the trump factor. >> a vote for me. >> if are me. >> me.
10:04 am
>> make america great against. >> most presidents distance themselves to avoid nationalizing the races, trump is doing the opposite. he is all in. firing up loyal supporters and fierce critics alike. a month ago, the president was all but resigned republicans would lose the house. now he increasingly believes he can awaken the trump coalition to stop or slow a democratic wave. >> the blue wave is being rapidly shattered. >> this is the 29th rally of the year. he is far more likely to visit red states filled with loyal admirers rather than running the risk of firing up independent or dem cratic voters in swing states. a map of his travel shows where he is and is not welcome. he staged three rallies to defeat the democrat jon tester in a race republicans see as no easy task. he is steering clear of florida, holding no big rallies this fall.
10:05 am
governor rick scott is locked in a tight race has asked trump to stay away. a gop official said. his itinerary is far different than on the election as he thanked voters he turned from blue to red. gop canned states are trailing like in pennsylvania and ojhioh michigan and wisconsin. from red state races like tennessee, a trump visit lingers long after he leaves because of tv ads blasting the democrat. >> this guy will 100% vote against us every single time. >> across the country, the president appears in nearly 20% of all political ads. so far at least $55 million has been spent on pro trump ads and $65 million has been on anti-trump ads. they solidified trump as the
10:06 am
undisputed leader. even ted cruise have long embraced him and depend on trump to fire up his coalition. >> it energizes people and drives turn out. in this election is a turn out election. >> the trump campaign is saying that the president is going to have at least 10 more rallies between now and election day on november 6th, including a rally in florida. that is one place where he is not exactly wanted. it's an open question if rick scott is going to be there or not. his aides are saying that the governor is focusing on hurricane recovery. they will let us know. it is a key sign that the trump factor in these mid-term races is all revolving around him and that's just how he wants it. >> the races in florida are very, very close. thanks very much. president trump defining himself and his views in very plain language. listen to this. >> a globalist is a person that wants the globe to do well. frankly, not caring about our
10:07 am
country so much. we can't have that. they have a word. it sort of became old fashioned. it's called a nationalist. i say really? we are not supposed to use that word. i'm a nationalist. >> the late french president famously once said, patriotism is when love of your own people comes 50. nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first. the other people don't have a favorable view. the poll shows people in 25 countries that only have a 27% factorability and confidence in president trump vote right now. that the president they have confidence that he do the right thing regarding world affairs. only 27%. that's behind 52% for angela
10:08 am
merkel and 30% even for russian president vladimir putin. that poll in 25 countries. joining us is global affairs analyst and diplomatic correspondent michelle kosinski and mallika henderson and real clear politics. you study history. when the president said he is a nationalist, he uses the word and what does that say to you? >> it has disturbing historical echoes. nationalist meant a lot of things over the years and was primarily associated with liberal movements. the founder of zionism who helped to create the state of italy who helped create the states of columbia and venezue a venezuela. it is associated with fascist movements. people like franco and
10:09 am
leany and hitler. that's why it's hard for me to think of people in u.s. history who described themselves as nationalists. this is not a popular term. the only thing that comes to mind is theodore roosevelt spoke about a new nationalism, but he was speaking about a progressive agenda. trump is embracing this racist, xenophobic and exclusionary agenda that people associate with nationalism in other countries and not in the united states. >> the president himself said in describing himself as a nationalist, he said i don't think i should use that word, but i will. >> he clearly doesn't feel like his base sees that as a bad word. it's almost a daring other people to criticize it, putting things into ever more simplistic terms. the phraseology is like mobs, not jobs. jobs, not mobs.
10:10 am
others are globalists. we are nationalists. i'm a nationalist. using that as something that is positive. it is very simplistically used, as are other kinds of constructions that he will put out there at these rallies. >> what do you think he means? >> when most people think nationalist, a lot of people think white nationalist. i don't know that he is making that same claim, but i think he is a master of white identity politics. he does use race as a divicive tool to rally his base. and basically make them think about race and make them fear the other. if you think back to his speech with when he announced he was running for president, he called mexicans rapists and murderers. you hear the echoes of that. it's what made him a successful candidate. it resonates with his base. it's not an accident that two
10:11 am
weeks before the election he goes to this racialized language to get the base. >> it makes him seem like the globalists or internationalists don't like america. >> what's interesting is that the un speech he contrasted globalist policies. he didn't use the word nationalism. i think if he becks people to criticize, he will say no, we love our country. he believed that most people in the rally were his supporters who believe they are the same thing and they are not. it's a line he can fudge, but there is no question it's divicive and not unifying. he put it out saying america first. we are not going to engage with the eu and we are not globalists. it's not a secret he felt this way for a long time and knew he used the actual term. >> he is saying this as a
10:12 am
migrant caravan of thousands of people headed for the u.s. border. it's perfect timing for him to use these terms that makes anything else seem dangerous. >> we are going to head there towards that caravan in a moment. everybody stand by. timeline of a murder. turkish officials revealing new details about how the saudis killed a journalist in what is called a political killing. they claim evidence of unknown middle easterners in the caravan of migrants heading north and counter terrorism officials have just weighed in. she could be georgia's first black female governor today. ahead of a big debate, she is defending a picture from the early 90s involving a confederate flag burning. i'm really into this car,

>> two presidents and a vice president weighing in on the death of jamal khashoggi. forces say he is growing frustrated with the fallout related to his death, saying he feels betrayed by saudi arabia. mike pence announcing that the cia directors in turkey reviewing evidence, vowing the u.s. will get to the bottom of his death. also turkey's president president erdogan rejecting the claim that jamal khashoggi was killed accidentally, instead saying it was brutal premeditated murder. our senior correspondent, ben wiedeman has been doing a lot of reporting on this. what did president erdogan say about the timeline of jamal khashoggi's death? >> reporter: what we heard from the president was a real day by day outline of what he says
10:18 am
happened regarding this case. it goes back to the 28th of september when jamal khashoggi went to the saudi consulate to ask for this document that shows that he is free to marry. that is what set off this sequence of events with the saudis and the president said activated this hit team. but they were preceded by others who came to sort out the territory and figure out a plan, so to speak, so that what we saw is in his speech, he really just gave the presidential stamp of approval to this drip, drip, drip of bits of information coming from anonymous official sources here in turkey. the only thing that was left out of this timeline was what went on immediately after he entered the consulate at 1:14 p.m. on the 2nd of october, the last time he was seen in public.
10:19 am
he did not mention some of the lure flaccid details we have been told by turkish officials, unnamed, that have made so many headlines. the torture, the murder, the dismemberment, and somehow getting rid of the body. he pointedly asked, what happened to the body? according to the saudis, they handed the body over to a local collaborator. the president was quite vexed about that particular point because what his consulate office being in contact with what is clearly a criminal element. also missing in his speech today before this parliamentary group was any reference to the crown prince. he did say that the investigation has to go to the
10:20 am
very source of the decision to dispatch this hit team. between the lines, he is looking for not just intelligence officials and sort of mid-level people, but he wants to know who gave the order for jamal khashoggi to be killed on the 2nd of october. >> ben wiedeman reporting from us from turkey and thanks very, very much. president trump feels betrayed by the saudis right now. you will hear what he is saying by his son-in-law and senior adviser's relationship with the crown prince. plus, senator ted cruz is worried about violence because of "ugliness from the left." we will discuss that and more. stay with us. smile dad.

six-million low-income people to low-cost, high-speed internet at home. i'm trying to do some homework here. so they're ready for anything. right now, president trump's national security adviser john bolton is answering questions in moscow after his meeting with vladimir putin that wrapped up a few moments ago. it focused on the u.s. decision to withdraw from the treaty known as inf. in moscow, they signed that treaty back in 1987. it banned all land-based missiles with ranges of up to roughly 3400 miles. it resulted in more than 2600 missiles being destroyed. during today's talks, president putin suggested a meeting with president trump in paris next
10:26 am
month. bolton told putin, president trump would indeed look forward to that meeting. let's bring back that guest. approximate this withdrawal, does that benefit the u.s. and russia? does it hurt both? >> that remains to be seen. the 1987 inf treaty is a landmark treaty and compelling evidence that russia has been cheating and deploying a missile in violation of the treaty. the obama administration called them on it and we have china deploying a new range of its own nuclear missiles in nonnuclear missiles where they are tilling the balance of power. it does make sense for them to deploy their missile in europe and asia. therefore pull out of the treaty in a way that will keep the europeans on board. >> what about the european allies and how are they reacting to this?
10:27 am
>> they don't agree with this. with the u.s. >> with the president's decision. >> there are people within the u.s. on both sides of the political spectrum that don't agree with the way the u.s. is leaving this, making it seem like the u.s. ended the treaty. it's not a good look. when you argue the value of it, max makes a great point. what good is the treaty is russia is not abiding by it and china is not a party to it? does it matter anyway? looking at how the u.s. is again leaving a treaty or an agreement, people have problems with that. maybe this could have been done in a slightly better way. >> the headline out of the meeting, bolton looks like there will be another summit between president trump and president putin in paris november 11th. >> obviously right after the election. everybody has in their mind the last meeting that he had in helsinki and the optics there
10:28 am
and him standing next to putin, believing everything putin said about russia and taking putin's side. you wonder what could come out of this. a lot of these meetings are more about optics than substance. the substance and optics of their last meeting were terrible for this president. if it happens. we have seen this with this president saying there was going to be a meeting and the meeting is scuttled. he is improvisational in these meetings. there is not a lot of prep or planning or point to these meetings. we will see what happens. >> we saw what happens in held sinky and what happens in paris assuming this meeting actually takes place. the president's national security adviser also spoke about russian meddling in the u.s. elections. listen to this. >> about a month ago, we didn't detect anything like the level of involvement, but as he pointed out, that could change
10:29 am
with one key stroke. we have two weeks before the election and hope there is no meddling at all, but it's worth noting that the president signed an executive order that requires a report from the director of national intelligence within 45 days after the election on whether any meddling took place. >> what do you think? >> i think they want to do two things at once, look like they are confronting the russians for cheating on this agreement and to say we are on top of the meddling issue even though it's clear that the ambassador did not go in and say look, there will be severe consequences for any future meddling. so the fact that this is a continuous lie of attack that the administration is not really trying to deal with is still an issue. a question for the u.s. voters and then after the election happened and he had this summit,
10:30 am
if the democrats won the election, he plans to say that the chinese meddled and altered the outcome. it's hard to imagine what the narrative is going to be, depending on the outcome, but it could be quite controversial in terms of him blaming people. >> let me get your thoughts on the murder of this journalist, jamal khashoggi. clearly the president is deeply irritated that this all happened. we wants good relations with saudi arabia and wants to sell a lot of arms and have other trade deals with saudi arabia and sees this as an irritant. >> it's telling that he is irritated more about the fallout from the murder than the murder itself. he is more irritated than the murder and dismemberment of this journalist. that's a president that has no moral compass. he is practicing a new dollar
10:31 am
diplomacy. he doesn't care about american values. all he cares about is the bottom line in a business-oriented kind of way and a wildly exaggerated idea of how much money we will make from the saudis. he has this mythical arms deal that creates only in his head. he claims it will create a million jobs. the entire defense employs 330,000 people. at the end of the day, he looks weak and is ignoring this horrible crime that shocked the entire world. >> because he is obviously deeply concerned about the role the saudis have played and a positive role with iran. >> right. it was months ago that the u.s. was hoping that the saudis could forge this mideast peace plan by ultimately buying out the palestinians and getting them to go along. where is that now?
10:32 am
now you have this roadblock to the relationship itself. you can sense the administration acting like what do we do now? you also hear the president seeming to believe that the saudis can conduct a credible investigation of this. you also saw that in relation to russia. the last time he met with putin, he seemed open to the idea of russia interviewing people there as part of the investigation. this is the same president who puts doubt on the u.s.'s own justice department and intelligence community. it's this bizarre world. >> it's going to continue for a while, guys. thank you very much. president trump escalating rhetoric against this migrant caravan, even though they are 1,000 miles or so from the border or the distance from miami to washington, d.c. kamala harris making her first impression in iowa as a potential 2020 presidential candidate. you will see what happened.

president trump has a strong warning for the thousands of migrants heading north right now. he said he will send as many troops to the border as are in to stop this caravan, calling the journey an assault on our country. all of this as his own administration contra addicts the claim that there are middle easterners hidden in the caravan. the migrants have a very, very
10:38 am
long way to go. more than 1,000 miles, roughly e 85ula 85 lent to the distance from miami to d.c. in southern mexico, first of all, tell us what you are seeing. >> reporter: well, what we are seeing here is the town square which is about 50 miles north of the guatemala-mexico border it. turned into an encampment. it halted today not out of fear of law enforcement or the twees, but one man fell from an overcrowded truck yesterday so they decided to pay their respects. as you can see, people grabbing shade in the searing mexican sun here. children playing blissfully unaware of the journey they are on right now. we are seeing incredible hospitality from the mexican locals bringing bags of clothes and pots of tortillas and other
10:39 am
food for them. everybody is determined to get back on the road at about 4:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. to give a perspective of how long it will take, when voters go to the polls in a couple of weeks, the caravan will still be south of mexico city. it's another eight-day walk to texas. most of them as they study maps, senior. here's a map. this is the maps that they are studying. we are way down in the south there. when they hit mexico city, many try to catch trains and while brownsville is the closest entry point, which is 1,000 miles from here, the safest they tell us is to jump a train and go over to tijuana on the pacific side as well even though it's twice as
10:40 am
long. gracias, senior. what is your route? >> to go to mexico city. >> you speak english. can you talk to us? i'm bill. nice to meet you. what's your plan? >> we are going to go to mexico city to get a job there. >> you want to stay in mexico? >> yeah, i want to stay in mexico. the people here are going to stay in mexico. they want to stay in mexico. >> more than 1,000 have filed for asylum to stay in the states. are you from honduras? >> honduras. >> why did you leave? >> i leave because no good jobs. if you find a job, they don't pay. >> you are not fleeing violence? >> yeah, violence. i'm a taxi driver there. i left my job. i quit because of the pay.
10:41 am
>> you are aware you are breaking the law. people say why don't you go home and fill out the paperwork and wait until they call you? >> yeah. we don't go home because we l e live -- we don't want to get back there. >> what's your name? >> josé. >> josé, thank you for talking to me. mucho gusto. there is 7,000. everybody has a different story and a different plan. as i sele them, some are lucky enough to have cell phones and aware of the news. they may not understand that the visuals of this caravan moving together is such a perfect political foil for the president of the country of many other destinations there. as he said, this option is better than staying at home. >> very quickly, bill, i know
10:42 am
you and the other reporters and producers and camera crews, they are doing what the president told them to do. go to the middle of the crowd and you will see middle easterners. how many middle easterners have you spotted so far? >> zero. of course not. none. the truth is that the president also fails to mention in the next breath is that 99% of these people are christians. they are catholics and protestants. most of them are putting faith in a christian god to make it north. the insinuation that there are muslims in this group. who knows. there are 7,000 people here, but if i see somebody roll out their prayer rug and bow to mecca, i will make sure to let you know. >> bill, thank you very, very much. president trump officially calling himself a nationalist now. i will speak live with a key member of the congressional black caucus for his reaction. hours before the debate between

right now we're exactly two weeks away from the midterm elections. it's the final push to get voters to the polls with control of congress clearly on the line. many possible 2020 candidates are also hitting the campaign trail, including democratic senator kamala harris.
10:48 am
maeve, what's the message you're hearing from the senator today? >> reporter: it's so interesting. obviously she's here to push the early vote for the midterm elections. she's going from campus to campus and so some to some of t smaller tavern events and to talk about some of the tax cuts. what she needs to do if she runs for president is to really connect with that coalition of younger vote that's were attracted to barack obama and bernie sanders. she's been out meeting with a lot of them today, getting them excited and activated. last night in des moines she had a crowd of about 500 people, a real human crush to kind of touch her and hug her. there was a lot of electricity
10:49 am
in the air. clearly she's a favorite here. and when you talk to people all over iowa, they have a list of 2020 candidates they are looking at right now but she is at the top of a lot of people's list, wolf. >> we're going to continue to watch it with you. right now a judge is hearing a pa pair of lawsuit's against georgia's republican gubernatorial candidate. brian kemp claims there were no voter suppression violations. all of this as stacey abrams is also defending herself for attending a protest in 1992 where a georgia state flag with the confederate design on it was burned. congressman meeks joins us. thanks so much for joining us. i'll show the video. we'll get your reaction as we
10:50 am
play the video. what do you think of this uproar that has developed, at least the controversy? >> well, wolf, i think it's move ado about nothing. if you look at what the protest was about, it was about the segregation flag that was put into the georgia flag back in 1956. it was put in to talk but did not want to have -- you wanted to desegregate folks but to have segregation. her opposition was let's remove what divides us. let's remove in the georgia flag what divides the people of georgia and not go back to the time of racism and jim crowism, of which we fought for a long time to end. ultimately that battle she had in 1992 was successful because the people of georgia came together to remove that symbol out of the georgia state flag. >> what's your take, congressman, of what's happening in georgia with these absentee
10:51 am
ballots? >> again, it seems to me that what some of the republicans are trying to do in georgia is go back to some ugly times where you prevent particularly african-americans from having the right to vote and rtrying t purge people from the voting records. it's similar to the times at which you had to count how many marbles were in a jar, things of that nature, as opposed to doing whatever we can to let as many people as possible vote, it seems as though my republican colleagues particularly in georgia is trying to limit the people from voting. i don't know why they got fierce of allowing their citizens to vote and let, as a democracy it's supposed to be, let the one who has the most votes win. they are fearful of having a fair election. >> it's a close contest according to all the polls in georgia right now. let me play a moment, congressman, for president trump's rally last night in
10:52 am
houston that caught a lot of people's attention. listen to this. >> a globalist is a person that wants the globe to do well, frankly not caring about our country so much. and you know what? we can't have that. you know, they have a word. it sort of became old fashioned. it's called a nationalist. and i say really we're not supposed to use that word. you know what i am? i'm a nationalist, okay? i'm a nationalist. >> all right. so what's your reaction to that, congressman? >> my first reaction to that is a synonym to a nationalist is a chauvinist. it remind me of the kind of words that came from people like hitler who thought that in
10:53 am
germany he was a nationalist. and the kind of people that this president seems to like, those who are repressive dictators, those are the individuals that generally use that kind of phrase and those kind of words, whether you're looking at mr. putin, whether you're looking at what has taken place with the king of saudi arabia now or kim jong un, they are individuals who keep within their states and not working with others outside of their societies and suppress individuals within those societies to win the goals of what they're looking for. so those are very dangerous words but i think it reveals who we know this president is. >> well, i just want to be precise, congressman. you're making a comparison between the president of the united states and hitler. i want you to explain exactly what you mean. because obviously this is controversial. >> well, what i'm saying is that using the word of nationalism
10:54 am
and a nationalist, when you looked at hitler, he was talking about german for the germans and that's it and anyone else was again them. so it seems as though this president is saying that it is only about americans and americans above anything and everyone else and that is a dangerous precedent. that's what i'm saying. you know, you go to any dictator, you know, that advocates that kind of theory, you see that they are actually impose -- or poses a threat to everybody within our society and without the society. so there's a book that secret y secretary albright and how it
