show of "politics nation" right here on msnbc. now on saturdays and sundays you can catch me live at 5:00. tonight's lead, president trump continues his midterm campaign tour, shoring up support for republicans in tight races with just over two weeks left. he was in nevada just two hours ago. the first day of early voting in the state, campaigning for republican senate candidate dean heller. >> democrats produce mobs. republicans produce jobs. that's become hash tag, right? that's called hash tag. that's a new hash tag. that's a hot one. this november, voted for jobs, not mobs. >> earlier this week the president said he won't accept blame if the house goes to the

democrats next month but stumping for gop candidates, he is telling his base a vote for them is a vote for him. joining me, darren sands, political reporter at buzz feed, republican strategist and national editor of accuracy in media, carrie sheffield, and tiffany cross, co-founder, managing editor of the beat d.c., who by the way is at the politicon event under way in los angeles. let me go to you first, darren. vote for jobs, not mobs. the president is clearly trying to depict the democrats as mobs, similar to how in many ways they've criminalized protesters and even those of us in civil rights. will this work, is this

sticking, is this continuing this dividing the american public? >> you know, i spoke with a well known consultant in nevada about the rally today. trump was talking about maxine waters being a low income individual, he was talking about wacky jackie rose and this idea that he gives everyone a nickname and dean heller obviously repaid the favor basically saying everything donald trump touches turns to gold. i think one thing the consultant reminded me, wanted me to know about the mood of voters in nevada is they care about health care. they care about wanting to know dean heller isn't going to flip flop on health care and i think what jackie rosen is doing is exposing that in a very effective way. >> jackie rosen being his

opponent. >> dean heller's opponent in nevada. one thing that you will begin to notice is the polling. we saw public polling showed her up two points i think. i think two things, it represents that people are very serious about health care but they also see, you see that harry reid's operation, even though he is not in the senate any morre is making his presenc felt. >> carrie, the fact that the president is calling people names, attacking people with nicknames, calling democrats mobs, is it really a tactic to not have to deal with health care that he is fighting to take back some of the pre-existing conditions that people are being covered by, or a way of not trying to explain how he ran saying he would reduce the deficit and now we're at a 776 billion, with a b, deficit.

so you don't have to deal with any of these issues if you just call people names, start depicting a whole party and people that vote for the party as part of a, quote, mob. >> ref recommended, i think you -- ref recommended, i think you and i agree on the deficit issue. when the budget was passed that president trump sienldgned, he i'm not signing it again. >> but he signed it that time. >> because it included defense spending, the military was gutted under the previous administration. >> he signed it and it caused a huge deficit. one of the largest jumps we've seen in many years. >> i am so glad to see so many democrats raising the red flag. i agree republicans shouldn't be hypocrites, if you care about conservatism, we need to focus on this. this is why we need more republicans. we need real republicans, republicans that are not squish e y, to do what it takes to deal with this. >> so mr. trump is not a real

republican? >> he is. >> he is the one that signed the deficit. >> it was handed to him -- >> by a republican congress. >> by an established. >> who are you trying to get? >> the squishy republicans. he is calling for republicans that want to put their principles where their mouths are, where the party said they were going to be. he is actually doing these things. >> he actually signed the deficit. but let me go to you, tiffany. president trump held ten rallies, nine major interviews, and 22 press availabilities, and this shows the last three days and this coming monday. he seems to be very active, even though he is saying if they lose, it is not on him. i think we're seeing a president that's going on the road all of next week. is he nervous that he is going to lose the house and possibly

the senate and therefore be subject to some very serious investigations that he's managed not to have to deal with while the republicans have been in charge of the house and the senate. >> you said it, rev. this president is running scared. he knows if the house democrats get the gavel back, they have subpoena problems that will give him a lot of problems. maxine waters, if she gets that gavel, you can best believe they're going after his taxes. this is not what donald trump wants. i want to address if he said if republicans lose, it is not his fault. this is a clear sign to all republicans, if you thought you won, you were wrong, donald trump won. he is a one trick pony. he is skilled at throwing out hash tags and insults. when you don't have facts to run on, you run on hash tags and insults. i love carrie, she has been a republican her whole life. let's not fool the republican

party into thinking this is somebody that supports their policies. he found a very small sect that's scared and running on race based fears and he elevates it every chance he gets. he is trying to shrink protests in d.c., people protesting his rallies. in d.c., he is working with park service -- >> to stop protests. >> put a limit on how many people can gather. he wants protesters to pay for the security it costs to convene there. >> it is a brazen attempt to stop protests, which is clearly not how the country was built. >> and it is a violation of the first amendment right. this is why dong woman norton put forward legislation. he is going to find that one trick pony doesn't resonate anywhere. you have moderate republicans in places like ohio, some in nevada, some in pennsylvania,

and i'm not sure. i think people are over some of the childish antics. republicans will get their wits back and they, too, want a balance in government. >> darren, we heard there was a momentum building in the republican party after the kavanaugh hearings. now we're also in the middle of this huge international scandal with the killing in turkey of the virginia resident from saudi arabia. will any of this in your opinion effect dramatically either way the democrats or republicans' turnout? >> i think the kavanaugh bump is something we have seen we'll likely have, people have strong opinions, no matter how it plays out at the polls, i'm not sure the effect. what is true about this moment

is donald trump is the leader of the republican party. and i think it spoke volumes about president obama's care when there were electoral failures by the party that he accepted responsibility for them. i think that they want to set a certain tone. the party wants to set a tone about these issues but at the end of the day, it is donald trump setting the tone for the entire party. >> kavanaugh issue i'm told by a reliable source, carrie sheffield, that mr. graham, senator graham is going on the road to talk nothing but kavanaugh. do you think kavanaugh is going to last the next 20 days and do you think -- less than 20, like 18 now, until the midterms, and how will this saudi scandal and possible connection of the

president to saudi arabia interests effect turnout among the democrats and effect independent voters, carrie. >> foreign policy generally doesn't play as much role. >> you've seen in other words brutally killed and dismembered, he lived in virginia writing for "the washington post." this is a guy writing in american newspapers. >> and the president has shown leadership, has put pressure on the saudis, they already made arrests of at least five individuals, there are 17, 18 people the saudi government that i believe confined or are investigating. >> the president put pressure on the saudis, they arrested people two weeks later, for a week or ten days, the president is saying don't rush, give them the benefit of the doubt, i talked to the king and he's convincing in his statement that he had nothing to do with that. you call that pressure? >> he has shown pressure.

he sent the secretary of state immediately to turkey and saudi arabia. he is showing leadership. i also want to get to the kavanaugh point. >> he didn't listen to existing tapes of what happened. >> he is showing leadership. again, this is something that republicans are going to be unified behind because we need leadership in the middle east and the previous administration left a vacuum of leadership. i want to talk about kavanaugh because i do think this is going to be motivating, one of the things to carry republicans across the finish line because the president himself for those who republicans that maybe weren't inclined to be enthusiastic, they held their noses and voted for president trump because of the supreme court, it is a motivating issue. lindsey graham was one of the quote, unquote squishy republicans, didn't trust because he was close to so many establishment people, but they were so proud of him, the way he stood up for the rule of law and due process in the hearings, so i think it is a smart move on their part. and i want to clarify one thing,

i love you too, tiffany, but to clarify what the president said, he was rejecting the premise they would lose, he wasn't saying he wouldn't take responsibility, he said let's talk about it after the trees have fallen. >> he said you can't blame it on me. i am going to take the break and see if i can find a squishy republican. stay with us. coming up, i ask the governor of oregon, kate brown, why the gubernatorial races are as important if not more than anything else in the upcoming midterms. be right back. ♪ a wealth of information. a wealth of perspective. ♪ a wealth of opportunities. that's the clarity you get from fidelity wealth management. straightforward advice, tailored recommendations, tax-efficient investing strategies, and a dedicated advisor to help you grow and protect your wealth.

we are 17 days away from the highly anticipated midterms. "politics nation" is keeping a close eye on most of the competitive governor races this year. 26 seats on the ballot but 13 are considered very important and could give democrats a chance to gain some ground. in oregon, the cook political report shifted their prediction from lean democrat to, quote, toss up in a recent poll. democratic governor kate brown holds a tight lead over her republican opponent, 40 to 35%. with 17% of voters remaining undecided. so what is governor brown

planning to do to maintain that lead? she joins me. thank you for being with us. what are you going to do to maintain or increase that lead. what are your campaign strategies? >> we're going to fight like hell, of course, to continue to bring this campaign across the finish line. we've made incredible progress under my leadership with very innovative public policies like increasing the minimum wage, making sure that families can take care of their kids, get to know their work schedule, fair scheduling, first in the nation. we also made great progress protecting the environment, including the first coal to clean, moving away from coal generated electricity, and making sure that we have a low carbon fuel standard. wealthy interests want to stop our progress so we're going to fight back. republicans have a lot of money.

we have people power and the people of oregon are pissed. one billionaire donor in invested $4.5 million in my republican opponent's campaign. absolutely unacceptable. they don't think the governorship ought to be for sale. >> why are the polls tightening, the money, is it the inability to get over the trump bump? why are we seeing the polls tighten when you can layout so clearly what you said you have been able to achieve for the state? >> well, reverend sharpton, we made incredible progress and we're going to continue to let them know that. but it is typical in governor races that particularly with ballots going out that they're close. my predecessor squeaked by in 2014 with only 49% of the vote. everybody thinks oregon is blue but we're really a purple state and we're working hard to make

sure our voters turn out. we knocked on 75,000 doors. we had a rally this morning. the room was too small. we had so many people, we had to change the locations of the rally. people out knocking on doors, letting them know i am the candidate that has a track record of bringing oregonians together, republicans and democrats, to tackle the issues facing oregon. >> when we look at the midterm elections, a lot of focus on the senate and the house, but the governor's races as i said, 26 of them up, why is that important. if i'm sitting home, getting ready for dinner tonight, why are the governor races, you being an incumbent governor in one of them, why is that so significant to where the country is headed? >> well, the governor's races, the states are really where the action is at, with the chaos and corruption that's happening in washington, d.c., the states are the ones doing what we call gsd.

getting stuff done. i talked about the work we did earlier. we crafted the nation's first automatic voter registration legislation. that's been replicated in states across the country. we move forward on a policy that would ensure that every woman, regardless of her income, regardless of her zip code, would have access to the full compliment of reproductive health services. we were the first state in the country to move forward on common sense firearm safety legislation after the horrible park land shooting. we are gsd, getting stuff done. but we're also the place where we are the back stop to the trump administration. i am pushing back genls the trump administration policies on health care. they tried to repeal the affordable care act, ripping the rug out from millions of americans. now they're trying to take health care away from those that have a pre-existing condition.

absolutely unacceptable. we're going to push back. we believe our most vulnerable oregonians, most vulnerable americans ought to have access to health care, and under my leadership now 94% of adult oregonians have access, and 98% of our children have access to health care. everyone ought to have that. >> let me push on that. with these kind of statistics, if your opponent wins, i would assume he is going with the trump line on health care and would try and turn some of that around. you have laid out some of the things you say you've achieved, you accomplished. clearly dealing from a substantive kind of delivery on this show tonight. how do you feel about the president saying that you are possibly part of a mob? >> that's not how we operate in oregon.

i work collaboratively and via consensus. i work with republicans and democrats, rural oregonians, urban oregonians to tackle problems facing oregon. we were able to bring everyone together to invest in the most comprehensive transportation package in oregon history. we invested for the first time ever in a statewide public transit system. i am so pleased with the work we're doing. and we in oregon do things differently. under my leadership, we'll continue to work together to meet oregonians' needs. >> do you feel many of the republicans and independents in your state will in many ways reject this being cast upon this kind of name calling the president has done to democrats, including whether they would be progressive or centrist, they're all mobs, do you think that will be rejected based on the kind of work and based upon the kind of

bipartisan work you tried to do? >> absolutely. oregonians are smart. they know that we have leadership in the white house that's corrupt, that's chaotic, and certainly incompetent. we believe here that you do your best work in the oregon way and that means we roll up our sleeves, we figure out how we can bring win-win solutions to the table. that's what i did in health care, that's what i did in transportation, and i'll continue to work that way with the oregon legislature and business leaders across the state. >> thank you, governor brown. side note, we did reach out to the governor's challenger, state representative newt buhler, but he declined to appear. still ahead, growing concerns over voter suppression across this nation with 17 days before the midterms. but first, the hypocrisy and

trump. it starts with a new song by rapper ti who this week released a promo teaser that features a look alike of first lady melania trump, dancing in a fake oval office, looking let's just say insufficiently clothed. all while the rapper looks on from his presidential seat. melania trump felt insulted that anyone would portray her in such a way. she even called for a boycott of ti's music. let me tell you something about the blatant hypocrisy of all this. ti, whether you feel it was appropriate or not, he is a rapper, he is an artist. art sometimes offends people, shocks people, expresses things in certain ways. but the president is not an artist. he's the president. and he has engaged in rhetoric

as the president that clearly makes it hard for people to seriously take it when he and his staff and others complain about how someone uses art to depict the first lady. this is a president who used the presidential platform to talk about mika bri, talking about physical handicaps, even went as far as giving the inference a senator's father was involved in the assassination of a president. mr. trump, people ought to respect people in public life, including your wife, but if the example is set by you, it seems a little difficult for someone to take that seriously. maybe you should take being president more seriously and

others take being insulted by artists who practice that all the time. all of us in public life have had art attack them, me and many others who don't sit behind that desk. you sit behind that desk and tweet things that is outright outrageous. and you should be able to refrain yourself an act presidential no matter what someone does in a video studio.

welcome back to "politics nation." you may have seen our franchise dot dot dot while black. a running tally of activities of black americans, often can't engage in without harassment from white civilians or state agents acting on their behalf. we have been watching the political version of this in georgia at the tactical and strategic levels. and social media was inflamed by news of a bus of black senior citizens was derailed enroute to an east georgia polling site because officials were concerned, about a quote, unknown third party. a voter advocacy group called

black voters matter taking them from a county senior center, they said was barred from sponsoring quote political activity. critics cast the incident as voter intimidation, a tactic in an overall strategy of voter suppression in georgia where the republican secretary of state brian kemp, also a gubernatorial candidate, is facing mountains of civil rights lawsuits over allegations that he's barred thousands of mostly black residents from registering to vote. back with me, darren sands, political reporter at buzz feed, republican strategist and national editor of accuracy in media, carrie sheffield, and tiffany cross, co-founder, managing editor at the beat d.c. stopping senior citizens that are being brought to vote, i

mean, how can anyone justify and call this political activity. no one knew who they were going to vote for, they were being brought to the polls. the group says black votes matter. doesn't say democrat or republican. this in the state where the candidate on the republican line is also the secretary of state that has put on hold literally thousands of votes, the majority black voters, saying that maybe they left an apostrophe out, maybe said their name was tom rather than thomas. it seems to be a pattern, carrie, that goes against principles of voting in this country. >> what brian kemp who is secretary of state who is running for governor said which is accurate, he said anyone who has their pending status, right now there's about 53,000 voters in georgia with pending status. >> 70% of which are black. >> he said very accurately no matter what your status is, go

and vote. you can still vote. >> why do you have to go through a whole different process over things like apostrophes? >> we need to protect the sanctity of the ballot box. >> i notice you avoid talking about the seniors, by the way. >> you brought up a lot of points. the senior bus, if you talk about third party influence. >> how is it influence. you provide people with the right to go to the polls and you accommodate them giving them a bus. that's not influence, that's transportation. >> we'll have to look at the specifics, the legal specifics. again, anyone who was on the bus who was denied the right to vote is someone -- >> they were having the right to a ride, we're talking about giving -- anybody can say i'm going to help people get out to vote. >> my feeling on this as a reporter is that we have covered these issues sort of ad nauseum,

there are long lines in places where people are black and have to vote. you see vote intimidation tactics and things like that. i think at the end of the day what it comes down to is this is not a partisan issue. this is an issue about patriotism. i think it is unpatriotic for people to be suppressing the vote. i think unpatriotic for people, anyone, to not have an ability to vote. that's not what our country stands for. >> is it only patriotic to make sure your votes are -- i think it is two questions. you need to protect sang at this time -- sanctity and access. >> access means if somebody gives you transportation, you allow them to be able to have transportation to go. how do you have access if someone is going to stop a bus from taking seniors to vote? nobody is telling them how to vote, nobody is saying you can't ride if you're not voting for my

candidate. access, transportation, same thing. >> right. let me be very clear here because i don't want any talking points in the way of facts and truth. this is an old voting suppression trick. brian kemp is used to this, has done it for years. he sued stacey abrams when she started a voting rights activist group. in 2010, there was an asian american group trying to targ, targeted them. he made their lives miserable. this is a tactic straight out of jim crow. it is shameful for anyone, republican or democrat, to defend these tactics. this is our democracy. i want viewers to understand, one party is championing dict e dictators, in bed with russia. another party is trying to fight it. it should not be a republican or democratic issue, this is an

american issue. this is the fabric of what makes this country great. when you have people defending these tactics, trying to silence these voices, that should make everyone stop, give everyone pause, that is a dangerous path to dictatorship, and these fake patriots who report to love the country so much, first people in line to condemn these tactics. >> before you go on, let me go to this, carrie. a new report showed an estimated 107,000 have been purged for voter rolls, not 53,000. 107,000 under the state's use it or lose it law. and additional lawsuits claim that more than 300,000 have been purged, so there seems to be a whole systemic pattern here of purging voters that is now way

over several hundred thousand, then you stop seniors, some who couldn't vote at all because of the color of their skin. this is atrocious. >> the 107,000 is different than 53,000, which is new voters. you're talking people in the past. there are 26 months under state rules to get your registration in order. 26 months, more than two years. if you don't take democracy seriously, if you don't have the little iota of time to take your vote seriously, that's a problem within citizenry. >> you take an iota of time, you're a senior and you get on a bus and ride to vote and the bus is intercepted, and you are taking it seriously, how can you defend that? >> that's different from what we are talking about. >> different or not, how do you defend it? >> i am saying what we heard on reporting, it seems there was an outside group engaging in activity for which it was not allowed to under the

regulations. if you are telling me -- >> what wasn't under regulation. >> under rules of what the organization was allowed to do. if you tell me someone can abuse their charter -- >> you're providing people the right to vote and you going to provide transportation. do you have any facts that this group was doing anything other than that? do you have any facts? >> i don't know enough about the group to say for certain, but i don't think you do either. the question is whether or not this group was abusing their charter. we know with acorn there was severe abuses by acorn. >> we're not talking about acorn. >> wait wait wait. >> it is common to have voter abuse by organizations like acorn. i am saying this is a case study. >> you're saying i have to prove they're not wrong, not that they have to be proven wrong? >> i am saying there are cases like acorn. >> what does acorn have to do with people giving a bus to seniors in 2018 to go vote?

>> i'm saying there's case law in which there are organizations that are behaving in ways that is manifestly illegal. can i also point out -- >> someone provides a bus in 2018, we're going back now into 2000 was acorn or maybe 2004, and try to say this could be that, and even there we could debate acorn, but what does that have to do with an organization sponsoring seniors to go vote? no seniors said they were influenced, nobody said it was a partisan organization. i mean, it seems like they're just reaching for anything to suppress voters. >> i think that's the republican party's problem right now. they wrote a whole lot about wanting to reach voters of color, how are we going to reach out to this community, how are we going to reach out to black communities, how do we do this. what does it mean that our party

could be in trouble given where we know the demographics are going to go in the country. i don't think they're going to get to that point unless they start to realize and understand they're going to have to talk in a patriotic way about expanding access to the ballot. you can't be the party of conservatism and patriotism -- >> let me stop you there. i'm going back to tiffany. before i do, i want to tell you about another story, minority voter suppression that's getting national attention. this time in north dakota where tens of thousands of native americans could be turned away from polls on november 6th after the state supreme court allowed a new voter id law to take effect. i want to bring in the executive director of four directions, a native american voting rights group that's working in north

dakota. oj, tell us what the problem is there in north dakota. >> well, reverend sharpton, first of all four directions is kind of used to the states circling their wagons around indian country. we have been dealing with this since the 1800s, didn't work back then, it is not going to work now. basically what they're trying to do is they changed the game in the middle of everything where during primaries they could use their id, and coming to the general made it so native americans couldn't use the same id if they didn't have a physical address. i feel what they're trying to do will back fire on them. all of the tribes in north dakota are united, working together to produce ids. we work with the tribes to identify and create maps to work with the tribes and produce our own ids. tribes of sovereign nations get to have the right to produce

their own physical addresses, so that's what we're going to do. >> so you're saying they're allowed in the primaries the id, now they change where you have to have an address on the id that was just accepted in the primaries, and many of them not addresses as we normally see it because they live on reservations. >> right. i never heard of this in any of the u.s. history where an id was valid one day and before the election it is invalid. >> in the same election cycle. >> i think it is a farce. >> in the same election cycle. tiffany, this is a national problem, whether you're native american in north dakota or senior in georgia or in other places around the country, other tactics. >> yeah. we know that the less people that show up to vote, then the republicans win. in in other words, you have heidi heitkamp in political peril because of a no vote on justice kavanaugh.

that's why the supreme court upheld that decision to disenfranchise thousands of native american voters in north dakota. we know more voters show up in georgia, better chance stacey abrams has of winning. brian kemp in a unique situation, serves as secretary of state can oversee his own election. i want to point out this is a tight race in georgia. there are no laws currently on the books that say brian kemp cannot seek his own recount. these are problems. we know why the tactics are in place. you have eric holder's organization, national democratic redistricting committee. if you bleed democrats with a thousand cuts with voter suppression, republicans maintain control of the house and senate and we have seen what a disaster that can be. this is democracy 101. it is not an issue of putting ownership of voting saying voters don't take the votes seriously, it is a clear tactic from the right to disenfranchise

marginalized communities so republicans can dominate the voter box. >> carrie, don't you as a conservative and i assume you are a patriot, you consider yourself, doesn't it bother you to see people being denied or impediments put in the way of using the basic premise the country was built on, the right to vote, that people that were denied it suffered and some died, spent nights in jail to get the right to vote, and you see these schemes in 2018. doesn't it bother you, doesn't it embarrass your party to be involved in these kinds of schemes? >> i absolutely want to see more people voting, absolutely. i want to say early voting in georgia is up by magnitudes, it is 129,000 now versus 46,000. >> you didn't have these different situations. >> ref recommendverend, it was party corporation that created

liability issues. people that are running the senior centers, how are they going to know the seniors are protected. this is what it comes down to. >> that is not what they cited. >> yes, it is. >> they cited influence, said nothing on safety. >> coming from outside the district. >> they said no evidence whether they were inside or outside the district, there's no evidence they were influenced. let's not fabricate what they said. >> the problem that democrats have, there's so much outside money and outside influence, we saw it with the osoff race. outside money, outside influence, and who lost? osoff lost. >> you have nonpartisan efforts that are financed doesn't mean they influence how they will vote. >> again, i want as many people voting but i want them voting accurately. we can both agree on that. >> and i think seniors voting for years have been voting

accurately and were denied that. but i have to stop there. thank you, oj, and thanks to the panel. i'll be right back. i'm ken jacobus, i'm the owner of good start packaging. we distribute environmentally-friendly packaging for restaurants. and we've grown substantially. so i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. and last year, i earned $36,000 in cash back. that's right, $36,000. which i used to offer health insurance to my employees. my unlimited 2% cash back is more than just a perk, it's our healthcare. can i say it? what's in your wallet?

president trump suggested that the city of chicago have a policy of stop and frisk, a policy that i and national action network joined other groups in new york in advocating against and was able to get a new mayor to bring it all the way down and reduce it to almost nonexistent. and guess what? crime went down. in fact, this weekend, this past weekend was the first time in 25 years there was no shootings in the city of new york and there's no stop and frisk. that is why we must continue to fight and stand up for what is right. we should support police, but when they're wrong, they should be held accountable, and they should, like any other american citizens, pay if they cross the line of the law. and that struggle has been going

on and should continue. we also this week in remembering that, remember when two men stood in the olympics when i was just reaching my teenage years and raised their fists to raise these issues 50 years ago just as those taking a knee in football stadiums today. whether it's raising your fist 50 years ago, taking a knee today, we must continue to raise these issues until they're resolved, and until they're resolved we are mandated to stand up for what's right. that's what will make the country what it should be, not trying to justify things that should not be. that does it for me. thanks for watching. remember to tune in again tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. eastern. right here, a new live edition of politics nation tomorrow as well and to keep the
