highlighted with campaign stops from donald trump and joe biden. >> i'm patrick walker. >> i'm steve sebelius. >> trump held his rally at the venetian where he quickly tried to take advantage of e-mails found on anthony wiener's laptop >> he also dealt into foreign affairs saying he wanted a safe heaven for refugees. >> we're going to work on safe

states to pay for it, we don't have to pay for it. they have plenty of money. >> we haven't heard too much about the safe havens, how does that compare with what hillary clinton is saying. >> trump has always called for safe zones. president obama, it should be noted, has opposed them. he says that diverts air attacking isis. it is kind of a two edge sword there. >> trump obviously taking advantage of that fbi announcement from friday about looking into more clinton e-mails. >> that's something he has to do. >> it is a gift to trump, to not do it would be political malpractice. >> the question is, what are

those are the questions that the fbi needs to answer and it probably needs to answer relatively quickly, this really could affect the results of the election. >> donald trump did correct one mistake he made on a previous visit here and that's pronouncin correctly. las vegas, nevada. everybody in new york says it the other way. and i did that once and i will never do it again. >> i'll never do it again, believe me he says. the latest poll has this race at a --

absentee, mail-in ballots and the whole nine yards. that's just the first week of early voting, we still have another week go through november 4th and then it is election day on november 8th. >> up to the very minute. >> exactly, yep. >> vice president also in town saturday trying to rally support for hillary clinton, that rally was at the carpenters' local headquarter. biden telling them that clinton would protect their rights. >> a job is about a lot more than a paycheck, it is about your dignity and about your respect. >> biden also told the crowd that trump would slowly erode rights. >> he only mentioned trump once by name but did not hold back on his attack on the republican nominee. >> i've spent my whole career

here a presidential candidate says because he is famous he can grope any women and they let him do it. that's a textbook definition of sexual assault. >> the e-mail news coming out friday. is this the october, maybe even november surprise? >> i would be surprised if he brought it up at all except to as maybe as many democrats to call on the fbi to information. clinton herself has done that. so at this point anything that really can affect the election results you can consider an october surprise. we've only got nine days to go. >> latino voters account for at least 20%. with tight races up and down the ballot, it is a growing voting

-- block. groups on both sides of the political i'll are turning up their efforts. >> step by step, and door by door, advocacy groups are trying to win the tight federal races one voter at a time. >> you have to earn every vote in the latino mm initiative the target is the u.s. senate race. volunteers have visited 20,000 homes in the valley and made 250,000 phone calls. >> it is an all in, all hands on deck effort to make sure that the story is told about the clear difference between these two candidates. >> he says the seat is up for

a statistical tie among the hispanic voters, many are criticizing the poll calling it faulty. >> that includes artie blanco. >> of the latinos that we have been talking about, the latino voters here, almost 75 to 80% are supporting catherine cortez masto. >> blanco says they have 600,000 homes statewide. >> we're door knocking ever single day. >> while they disagree on how close the race is, both agree the latino vote will decide who will be the next u.s. senator from nevada. >> dems have a big lead according to your notebook so far. can republicans get enough

>> i don't think so. if they are counting on the latino vote, i think they will be disappointed. you're going to see an overwhelming turnout for the democratic candidates. although joe heck has worked extremely hard. >> do you think that turn out number for the latino vote will be over 20%? >> the latino community has been a huge part of the electorate for a long time. i think we'll exceed 20% for sure. >> it will be interesting to see the final numbers after the election.

i alone can fix it! bomb the [bleep] out of 'em. i'd like to punch him in the face. i like people that weren't captured, okay? he's a mexican! she ate like a pig... i moved on her like a [bleep] i did not say that... i love war. yes, including with nukes. blood coming out of her... they're rapists... wrong. there has to be some form of punishment. such a nasty woman. i wanna be unpredictable. ...on 5th avenue and shoot somebody... she's a slob... i don't remember! and you can tell them to go [bleep] themselves! priorities usa action is responsible

((steve sebelius)) with less than two weeks until the votes are counted... the race for congressional di >>s welcome back to "politics now." >> with less than two weeks until the votes are counted. the race for congress district 3 is turning into a battle. >> both released polls showing their candidate with the lead. we sat down with tarkanian to talk about a host of issues, including and social security. >> this is the congressional race, so if you're elected what's the top thing that your's looking at to get done on capitol hill. >> there's three major things that i see talking with constituents. they want to get our economy going again. we need to get back to having reasonable regulations, we need to have a fair tax system. we need to allow the banking

people with large amounts of money, they get loans anytime they want. we need to be able to get the banking institution to the people. we need to do a better job protecting our citizens both in the united states and abroad from terrorism and people are upset with washington, d.c., they want to see change and see someone who is going to fight for the middle class. >> when you mentioned that disfunction in washington, we have heard talks about shutting down the government and we have seen instances where that has happened. is there a vote out there that you can take that's ever acceptable to put a halt on the government. >> shutdown the government is one of the last things that could happen. >> we should get there and do our job. get there, negotiate and

consensus. >> i think both sides are partially responsible if they ever got to that point. >> what is the biggest threat to the u.s. in your opinion, what is the biggest concern? you mentioned terrorism or outside threats and security being one of your top priorities. >> what's the biggest threat in your opinion? trying to get it going in the right direction. >> when you're talking about terrorism, you're talking about taking the lives of innocent people. a lot more severe than maybe having a longer and more significant economy. i think if you look at it, we got to get our economy going full throttle again. we need to protect the citizens of our country. represent the constituent first and foremost and get away from the interest of the special interest groups and the status

>> are you willing to work for a bipartisan solution? >> i don't believe the democrats want to pass comprehensive immigration reform. they want to use this as a campaign issue every election. if they really wanted to pass it, president obama promised when he first ran for office that he would pass comprehensive immigration reform. he had the house, the senate and democrats. >> i would somebody that would want to see comprehensive immigration reform passed. we need to revise immigration laws. the right way, the legal way to get in here quicker and easier. we need to enforce the laws that we have and then when you come to the 11 million people that are here legally.

get rid of them and get them out of the country. the people who haven't committed a crime, i think you got to find a legal status where they can stay here legally without being deported. >> would there be any points that you would be willing to compromise if there was a serious bill that came forward to try and accomplish this. >> i don't agree with the senator on very many things. he made a statement that legislation is the art of i'm not going to get everything i want and you got to work on getting the best one possible with what your beliefs are. >> let's look at social security. >> what is your vision ever where social security goes? >> first of all, it is going to go bankrupt in 18 years. i have stated over and over again. the government has made a promise to the workers of this country that when you pay into social security.

security benefits. anybody close to retiring or on social security. we cannot touch those benefits. we should see a higher cost of living increase, they are getting such a small amount and it is not even close to what the actual inflation rate is. i also would not vote for anything that would increase the cost of people to put in a social security getting close to it. for the younger people that are further away. i think a social security, it is less than it is now. we should tell young kids, look, you're going to live at least 19 years longer than when this bill was passed. we're going to raise the age limit maybe two years or so from what it is now so it gets closer to the life expectancy, i think most reasonable people would agree with that. my opponent is trying to make that a political issue that i

getting social security right now and i have said i would not. >> more from that interview online. include tarkanians thoughts on the background check. we also have our entire interview with his opponent jacky rosen. >> what jumped out at you from that interview and it has been a tight race, who do you think has the advantage? >> i obvio polls that come from campaigns at this point. i know that it is very difficult to poll a congressional district because the population size is so small. it is really difficult to know who is really heading in a race like that. >> the government shutdown has become a thing so to speak. we have been asking the candidates a lot about this.

that as well. what did you think of the answer there. >> no, i think he gave the absolutely -- the correct answer. you know, he said, look, this should be the last thing that happens. he's totally against government shutdown. they have got to go and do their jobs and negotiate and find some kind of a compromise, and if it actually happens, both parties are at fault. i think that's the perfect answer to this question. and in washington, d.c. has some sense of what tarkanian said there and really works to avoid that kind of thing. it is a disaster. >> he allowed for the possibility that it would happen. >> i would hope that there would be people so committed to making sure that it doesn't happen. look, i'm not quibble, he gave a really good answer on that. >> up next, battling out in a

are calling in. >> a collective bargaining agreement for the stadium, sort of. that works for all of us, creating good jobs, expanding solar energy, and improving our schools. but with danny tarkanian, you can't escape the sleaze. tarkanian lost $17 million in a failed development scheme and stuck taxpayers with the bill. he even helped set up fake charities used to scam nevada seniors. dccc is responsible

narrator: the target... seniors. danny tarkanian set up thirteen fake charities that preyed on vulnerable seniors... fronts for telemarketing schemes. seniors lost millions from the scams danny tarkanian helped set up. jacky rosen has always led with integrity. in congress, jacky rosen will protect seniors and strengthen social security. and jacky rosen will always be jacky rosen: i'm jacky rosen

((patrick walker)) the sands held a press conference to a >> you're watching "politics now." >> announcing some of the details of a new workforce development program. that program was a key amendment to one of the bills that was funded ford along with assistant minority leader were on hand. the program ensures groups like minorities, women, the lgbtq community. he says they are necessary because the significant investment. $70 million in new room taxes that are going towards the stadium. >> with an investment like this into the stadium.

public benefits. opportunities for nevadans first. >> the agreement creates a workforce development in training program. 50% of the workforce in the construction and operation will be with local residents of 75%. an oversight board made up of members of the various chambers of commerce and the communities represented to keep tabs on the execution of that agreement. >> let's get to the race now where wean other local stories this week. >> he spent the first part of the week in northern nevada. ted cruz is helping him campaign as well. focused on veterans issue, like reforming the va. >> it is about choice. it is about giving veterans choice. as i said earlier, all about getting them the right care, at the right time, in the right

reserves. heck winning will be key to republicans trying to hold the senate. >> his opponent is democrat catherine cortez masto, she was in las vegas working to make sure that doesn't happen. she was at several get out the votes rallies mostly latino latinos. >> she's had big guns helping her as well, including the president, vice president, and hillary clinton. >> will taking a selfie at the ballot box get you thrown in jail? >> it happens every year and technically here in nevada it is illegal to record audio or video at a polling place. both are category e felonies.

they have not prosecuted anyone for it. >> well, the high profile case that brought this all up last week was justin timberlake being investigated in tennessee for ballot selfie. is it time to do away with these laws? >> there may have been a good reason to have these laws, you know, the first time avoiding voter fraud that kind of thing. i don't think there's any reason for that, of course, god forbid that any moment in an persons life goes undocumented with a selfie. >> i forgot my phone, i don't know if i could do that. >> we'll do it during the break. >> all right. stay with us, we'll be right

as a doctor, i see how decisions in washington impact my patients here in nevada. so even though i'm a republican, i won't be voting for joe heck. joe heck's voted ten times to defund planned parenthood, which thousands of women depend on for cancer screenings. and heck opposes a woman's right to choose even when her health is at risk. for me and my patients, joe heck makes no sense. an eye on next week. early voting ends

fill you in. the breakout will give us a good idea of who has built early leads in the races. republicans have one week to try and fill the gap. >> the battle over universal background checks has been founded without of state money on both sides. the brady campaign is making a stop in nevada to push for that measure. >> well, it is going to be lots of stuff to watch next week. >> i am interested to see those pace most of the week. >> absolutely. just to see where we're at in terms of the gap between the republicans and democrats. >> thanks for watching "politics now," you can e-mail.

i'm catherine cortez masto and i approve this message. as a doctor, i see how decisions in washington impact my patients here in nevada. so even though i'm a republican, i won't be voting for joe heck. joe heck's voted ten times to defund planned parenthood, which thousands of women depend on for cancer screenings. and heck opposes a woman's right to choose even when her health is at risk. for me and my patients,
