baby and the baby is essentially a citizen of the united states and gets those benefits for 85 years. >> to stop that caravan. >> president trump is coming here to florida to campaign twice between now and election day. >> is this election a referendum on president trump? >> he wants it to be. democrats want it to be and in some cases, it probably will be. >> we are expecting the president to make a visit here to the synagogue later today. he will go to the hospital to visit some of the injured officers. >> president trump says he has no quarrel with the iranian people but they are the ones who are already suffering. and this sunday, the most punching round of sanctions kicks in. >> the company in the uk has started selling a product for people in colder climates. they're calling it a nose warmer. i promise, we did not make this up. here it is here. it's completely real. obviously, if you feel the need to wear one of these, maybe it's time to stay inside.

>> doesn't everybody look good in a nose mitt? what's wrong with you, james cordon? >> i left mine at home. >> he's got a point. i'm gayle king with norah o'donnell, bianna golodryga and john dickerson. president trump is considering a dramatic change to immigration law just before the midterm elections. he said he wants to end birth right citizenship guaranteed in the 14th amendment in the constitution. >> how ridiculous? we're only the country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby and a the baby is a citizen of the united states for 85 years. it's ridiculous and has to end. >> have you talked about that with counsel? >> i have. >> where in the process -- >> it's in the process. it will happen. with an executive order. that's what you're talking
8:03 am
about, right? i didn't think anybody knew that but me. i thought i was the only one. >> according to politifact, 23 countries offer birth right citizenship. part of that interview with the president for the upcoming axios on hbo. with us from washington, jim, good morning. >> good morning, john. how are you doing? >> i'm doing okay. so there's an election, a week away, and the president is talking about this. is this a serious policy proposal by the president or something he would like to get into a big constitutional debate about for a week that he thinks works for him politically? >> i think it's something that he wants to do. he was clearly surprised in the interview that he had been talking to white house counsel about this. politically, he wants to keep all the emphasis on sending troops to the border, to guard against this caravan that's probably several months away from hitting our border. this one, he has been talking to, he says, legal scholars
8:04 am
intern internally. they say he can get away with it. we have a 14th amendment, which basically states pretty clearly if you're born here on u.s. soil, you are a u.s. citizen. he says i don't even need to go to congress to change this. i can use my executive power to do it. i think it's a pretty legally dubious claim but he says no, i've got people who say i can. he has stacked the courts with a lot of conservatives and a lot of his confidence might come from that. the thing with trump, you never know. is this an idea that's been floating around in his head and he'll actually act on it at some point? when it comes to immigration, he does feel -- he believes this stuff, even when everyone else says you can't do that, you shouldn't do that. no other president would do that. he still does it. >> jim, in august 2015 when the president rolled out his immigration policy, in fact, he said he wanted to end birth right citizenship. this has been part of his plan on immigration from the very beginning. arguably, it was all there for voters to see at the time. to john's point, if it was part
8:05 am
of his plan all along, why is he bringing it up one week before the election? >> again, we had been reporting before this interview for the hbo show we've been doing, we heard he talked to white house counsel about this. i don't think they had planned on springing it before the election. i think they want to do a ton on immigration. i think they want to send a bunch of troops to the border. think about it. we're sending 5,000 troops to the border. we have, what, 2,000 national guard, we already have border control, fences and control devices and yet he's fearful of a caravan that looks like it's a month or two away. by the time it hits our border, it could be a couple hundred people. politically, i think he thinks that's a winner. on that one i think he legitimately fears illegal immigrants coming in through this caravan. h watches fox news. fox news plays it over and over. they play off each other and get each other riled up in what seems like propaganda or politics becomes reality in the minds of a lot of others.
8:06 am
>> did you get the opportunity to -- what was the length of the interview? i wonder if you got an opportunity to sort of challenge the president on some of the rhetoric of invader, a word that the pittsburgh shooter also used. >> reporter: ye>> yeah. we had a very tense exchange over that topic with the president. it was interesting, not to overshare on it. it's almost the more confrontational you got on the language he uses, the more at ease he is. he wants confrontation. he honestly believes -- i walked away from that interview, he honestly believes he has no responsibility to calm things down, to cool the country. in fact, he argues the opposite. he argues that he has a responsibility to his people. he always uses, to my people, to turn things up because he feels like he's at war with the media, despite winning the presidency and having the same favorable ratings he had two years ago, he feels at war. >> he is at ease if the country is on edge. jim, thank you.

8:08 am
i'm not afraid of death. >> what is your message to the country? >> love is much easier to make. >> what a great message. he says he knew all 11 victims and does not look forward to seeing empty seats when he returns to the synagogue. >> you're so right, bianna. he is right, too, love is much easier than hate. i just wonder how much longer it's going to take for all of good tuesday to you dry gusty wind and relative humidity. and, sunny and warm. above average temperatures. it'll 70s in oakland down through santa fe and lower 80s santa rosa as well as for napa. we continue to warm up for halloween through the work week.

and he also explains how the cdc is ready to expand its research into gun violence but is waiting for congress to provide the money to do so. >> in terms of priorities, secretary of hhs said he would instruct the cdc to conduct research on the causes of gun violence. has he done that? >> we have a program called the national violent surveillance system. we currently are recording violent deaths from all causes, including firearms. and so that is ongoing. >> what, in your mind, constraints are there from the dickey amendment? >> we don't have any restraints to research. the issue is if congress will give us funding to expand the research that we currently do. we do not have a restriction to do research. basically what we need to do is get a funding mechanism from congress to instruct us to do that. >> how high up on the list would the causes of gun violence be when you're asking for money and saying we need money to do the
8:16 am
proper amount of research? >> i think it's in the mix. you'll find at cdc, our programs are largely driven by where congress puts the priority to want to fundus. >> you're not silent in that conversation. you could say there are tens of thousands of deaths in america that result from this. we would like some money to know how to be able to actually -- >> i think people know that we're poised to be able to do research in this area if congress chooses to give us additional funding. >> cdc has released preliminary data on opioid overdose deaths. it seems to maybe have plateaued? where are we right now. >> >> we had over 72,000 people die last year from drug overdose. a little over 48,000 of them from opioids. it's going to require an enormous effort to get this epidemic under control. >> is that we don't know how to attack the problem or we don't know how to execute a plan to go after it? >> well, i think first and foremost, we have to recognize
