president trump's approval ratings slip with exactly one week until the midterm elections. his numbered have dropped amid a wave of violence. the man accused of opening fire inside a pittsburgh synagogue makes his first court appearance and shows no emotion. with a caravan of migrants heading toward the u.s., the pentagon has announced it will deploy more than 5,000 additional troops to the border. ♪ good morning, everyone. i'm ayman mohyeldin alongside frances rivera.

in just one week voters will be going to the polls. in the closing days of the campaign president trump's approval rating is now dropping, down four points to 40%. his disapproval rating up to 54%. what was a six-point negative approval rating a week ago is now a 14-point gap. republicans are now pouring last-minute money into reliably red districts to hold off democratic challengers. the trump campaign announced it is spending $6 million to air a closing ad that does not feature a single image or mention of the president. the campaign tour has visits to west virginia, ohio, georgia, tennessee and montana. last night the president inflated the size of those rallies as the white house again tried to rewrite the history of

the 2016 election. >> i'm getting 25 and 30,000 people to these rallies. this isn't bragging. there's never been anything like what's happening. i went to illinois. a boeing 747, this massive hanger packed and they had to use a second hanger for the over flow. >> he got elected by an overwhelming majority of 63 million americans. >> as has been stated that claim is not true. president trump was not elected by a majority nor even a plur ralty to be accurate. he lost the popular vote by about 2.9 million votes. the spokesperson for the republican member of congress trump campaigned for in illinois estimated the rally size at 8,000, about a third of the president's claim. 46-year-old robert bowers showed no emotion during his

first court appearance yesterday. bowers was charged with 29 felony counts. that includes using a firearm to commit murder and killing people engaged in federally protected religious worship. that carried a maximum penalty of death if convicted. bowers also faces 11 state charges. his next court proceeding will be thursday morning. support continues to pour in for the tree of life synagogue in the wake of the horrific violence. a muslim-american group has raised more than $125,000 through an online crowd funding campaign to help families affect bid t affected by the shooting. the head of the pittsburgh islamic center said his congregation will stand side by side with the synagogue. >> we just want to know what you need.

if it's more money, let us know. if it's people outside your next service protecting you, let us know. we'll be there. >> president trump is scheduled to head to pittsburgh later today to meet with those impacted by the shooting. the white house made the announcement yesterday saying the president and first lady would travel to grieve with the pittsburgh community. the white house has not released an official itinerary detailing the trip but the white house tells nbc news that ivanka trump and jared kushner will also accompany the president on that trip. the tree of life synagogue's rabbi said he welcomes the president's visit. >> the president may come and visit. would you like to visit with him? >> it would be my honor to always meet a president of the united states. >> do you have something you'd want to say to tell him about your community and these good

people who lost their lives? >> these are good decent people. they didn't have an ounce of hate in any of them. we turn to the leaders of our country. we've got to stop hate. it can't just be to say we need to stop hate. we need to act to tone down rhetoric. hate is in the welcome here in pittsburgh. it should not be welcome in our borders at all. >> but not everyone in pittsburgh shares the rabbi's sentiment. the mayor urged against the president's visit. quote, while we were burying the dead. the mayor added that the city does not have enough public safety officials to provide protection at the funerals and for the president. after facing criticism, president trump doubled down last night during an interview with fox news embracing the term. >> at what point does a national

tragedy take precedence over the president needing to punch back? if not now, when? >> i think you saw the president do exactly that in the wake of a national tragedy, not just this week. >> the word nationalism has taken on for the left this connotation of fuelling anti-semitism, hate, even violence. do you think that is fair? and do you want to further clarify what nationalism means to you? >> to me, i don't have to clarify. it means i love the country. it means i'm fighting for the country. i look at two things, globalists and nationalist. i want to take care of our country. >> the white house is working to portray president trump as a unifying figure amid backlash over his rhetoric about critics and rifvals. aides yesterday denied that the president's comments and tone have contributed to violence.

>> at what point does a national tragedy take precedence over the president needing to punch back? >> i think you saw the president do exactly that not just this week but every time the country has experienced heartache and pain. you guy versus a huge ros have play. >> the anti-religion in this country, the late night comedians, it's always anti-religious. remember, these people were gunned down in their place of worship as were the people of south carolina several years ago. they were there because they're people of faith. it's that faith that needs to

bring us together. >> so the pentagon announced that it will deploy 5200 additional troops to the southern border by the end of this week in response to a caravan of migrants coming to the united states from central america. the deployment is the largest since the response to the 2010 earthquake in haiti. the troops, a mix of active duty, reserve and national guard forces will join more than 2,000 national guard members already at the u.s./mexico border exceeding the combined u.s. military footprint in both iraq and syria, believe it or not. the top u.s. border security official estimates that the size of the original caravan at 3500 people. >> president trump has seized on the caravan as an issue ahead of the midterms. tweeting, many gang members and some very bad people are mixed into the caravan heading to our southern border. please go back.

you will not be admitted into the united states unless you go through the legal process. this is an invasion of our country and our military is waiting for you. shep smith had a different warning for viewers. >> tomorrow, the migrants, according to fox news reporting are more than two months away if any of them actually come here. but tomorrow is one week before the midterm election, which is what all of this is about. there is no invasion. no one's coming to get you. there's nothing at all to worry about. when they did this to us, got us all riled up in april, remember the result was 14 arrests. we're america. we can handle it. >> conservative media has seized upon the issue of the migrant caravan with some using dehumanizing language to underscore their point ahead of next week's midterms. >> what about diseases? there's a reason why you can't bring a kid to school unless

he's inoculated. >> they're coming in with diseases such as smallpox and lep -- >> the national debt is exploding. we have diseases spreading across the country that are causing polio like paralysis of our children. >> you can't very well blame that disease on ill legal immigrants. we don't know the cause of it. >> well. all right. joining me now gabby orr. let's talk about the trump administration's decision to send thousands of troops to the border to prepare for the migrant caravan that we're seeing still hundreds of miles away if not months away. how much of this is a play for the president ahead of the

elections kwe elections? >> the white house denies this is anything to do with politics, that they're simply trying to close down the border and protect americans. we're a week away from the midterm elections. president trump is deploying an unprecedented number of troops down to the border to take care of this. they will just be there assisting border patrol agents in trying to accommodate all of these asylum seekers as they enter the united states if they enter the united states which might not even happen before the midterm elections. i think this is president trump using this as a wedge issue in the final stretch before the midterms. obviously there are close senate and congressional races happening in border states like arizona, texas, california. obviously this beto o'rourke/ted cruz race is a hot topic.

so anything the president feels he can do to drum up the rhetoric around immigration is something that he's going to do and will continue to do all the way up to november 6th. >> we're watching him do that when it comes to the 11 rallies, eight states before the midterms. what's the reason behind leaving him out of this most recent ad? >> it was sort of surprising to see this ad. doesn't have any reference to president trump's likeness, no sound bites of him speaking. it totally omits the president. i think the reason for that primarily is because the trump campaign and republican officials really want to reach a part of the electorate that's white college educated women. it's an area he's really struggling with. it's a group of the electorate

that could support a lot of suburban republican candidates, but really hasn't up until this point in absentee voting and early voting. i think their closing argument is trying to tell a lot of these women that republicans are just like you and that the economy is doing so great and in order to protect your children to save up for their college education, you need to support the republican candidate. i have to think that the president was not happy when he saw this ad, though, not including any reference to him whatsoever. still ahead, attorney general jeff sessions gets heckled by a couple of ministers during a religious freedom conference. plus, two former presidents are weighing in on the race for georgia governor. one former commander in chief is offering a piece of advice to republican nominee brian kemp. a migraine hope

attorney general jeff sessions was interrupted by two pastors yesterday while speaking at a religious freedom conference in boston. sessions was defending the trump administration campaign when the two pastors began daegaddressin him. the first pastor began quoting lines from the gospel of matthew that talks about taking in strangers in need. he also called on sessions to repent. the pastor was escorted out by police and moments later a second minister rose to speak. he too was escorted out of the room. the close race for georgia cover is now attracting the influence of two expresidents. former president barack obama slated to stump for stacicey abrams on friday.

and former president jimmy carter is weighing in. he's calling on brian kemp to resign over his role in overseeing the state's elections. in a letter to kemp, quarter wrote, i have officially observed scores of doubtful elections in many countries and one of the key requirements for a fair and trusted process is that there be non-biassed supervision of the electoral process in order to foster confidence in the upcoming election, which will be especially important if the race ends up very close. i urge you to step aside and hand over to a neutral authority the responsibility of overseeing the governor's election. the kemp campaign responded that it was sad, accusing abrams of using the former president to do her dirty work. let's get a check on our forecast with nbc meteorologist bill karins. >> east coast perfect the next two days. it's the middle of the country

shreveport, little rock, memphis, it could be not only pouring but it could actually be dangerous. we have 16 million people tomorrow in slight or enhanced risk of severe weather. even tornados are possible on halloween afternoon and evening in the southeast portions of texas. it's not what you want for the kids or for anyone. still ahead, what a night for klay thompson, needing just 26 minutes to break one of his brother's nba records. ♪ when the moon hits your eye ♪ ♪ like a big pizza pie, ♪ that's amore. ♪ when the world seems... ♪ applebee's new neighborhood pastas. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. mitzi: psoriatic arthritis tries to get in my way? watch me.

welcome back. time now for sports. let's wrap up week eight of the naf nfl season. the bills host the patriots on monday night football. neither team able to score a touchdown in the first half. three made field goals and one miss by new england, putting the pats ahead 9-3 at the break. the pace remained a snoozer at halftime. so we go to the fourth. just minutes in, james white ran home this exciting one-yard touchdown. new england would fail to convert the two-point try. then this was the biggest offensive play of the game, an interception by the defense. 84 yards to the house and the pats keep rolling, beating the

bills 25-6. new england easily on top of what has to be the worst division in football. they go to 6-2, buffalo to 2-6. meanwhile to cleveland, the browns coaching situation, who is it going to be. it has hue jackson and todd haley fired yesterday. this is probably the best story of the sports world last night. record setting night in oakland. this is klay thompson. when he's hot, he's really hot. nba record 14 three-pointers. that's 52 points in only 26 minutes against the bulls. thompson passes steph curry's single game record by one. golden state mate 17 three-pointers in the first two quarters, a league record.

the warriors did win. 149-24. legendary baller michael jordan thinks a head to head matchup will settle the debate of who's the greatest of all time. >> a lot of talk going on these days about who is the greatest ever, about who has the titles, the raw talent, the most clutch moments. i get it. it's a tough call. i mean, even the jersey numbers are the same, but maybe the best way to settle this is to play it out head to head. i'll watch that. >> anybody else feel a little disappointed in that?

maybe a game of horse between lebron and michael. that's the upcoming sunday night football matchup on nbc between the two greatest quarterbacks playing right now, tom brady and aaron rodgers. lebron did play along on twitter. he said, i'm ready. then he said, oh, never mind. they play a game to 21. how many points do you think mj gets? >> i think michael jordan still has a better perimeter game than lebron. i bet you michael jordan is not even entertaining the idea. it's not even a debate. >> he has all the rings. no one's ever going to get more. >> some people have more rings than him. steve kerr -- they got some. >> okay. still ahead, president trump defends his use of the term

♪ welcome back. it's the bottom of the hour, so let's get started with the morning's top stories. the man accused of carrying out the mass shooting on a

pittsburgh synagogue was charged with 29 felony counts in connection to that at tack that left 11 people dead. pete williams has more. >> reporter: two days after the shooting rampage, it was the first court appearance for robert bowers of pittsburgh. wheeled into court, he said he understood the charges and was ordered held without bail. bowers faces 29 counts, the most serious killing people engaged in federally protected religious worship. that carries a maximum penalty of death upon conviction. >> rest assured we have a team of prosecutors working hard to ensure that justice is done. >> reporter: according to investigators, while bowers was firing inside the tree of life synagogue and again after he was arrested, he said he wanted to kill jews. the fbi says he was armed with an ar-15s s assault-style rifled

three handguns like these. his social media posts seethed the anti-semitic hatred. the site where he posted, gab, a favorite of extremists, says he's been cooperating with the fbi. the post suggests he knew that a congregation meeting in pittsburgh on saturday was helping in that refugee effort. unlike package bomb defendant cesar sayoc, neighbors say bowers did not spout hate to him. >> nothing that would stand out. the most terrifying thing is how normal he seemed. >> so the white house is not backing down from its anti-media rhetoric even as cnn was targeted with another suspicious package discovered yesterday. sources tell nbc news it may

have been sent as late as thursdays. despite the threat, the president is defending his use of the term enemy of the people, in fact, tweeting out last night, cnn and others in the fake news business keep purposely and inaccurately reporting that i said the media is the enemy of the people. wrong. i said that the fake news media is the enemy of the people, a very big difference. when you give out false information, not good. here's the president in an interview on fox news last night. >> i worked for reagan. they called him stupid, dumb, slept in the afternoon, incompetent, a warmonger. >> but he didn't have social media. he would have fought back. he didn't have social media. it's my form of telling the truth. i was in the headline of the "washington post." my name associated with this crazy bomber. trump bomber or something. but i was in the headline.

when they got him, they didn't say bomber found. they talked about trump in the headline. now, they didn't do that with bernie sanders. they didn't do that with the democrats when other people came out. they didn't do that with president obama with the church, the horrible situation with the church. they didn't do that. they put my name in the headlines. when i say enemy of the people, i'm talking about the fake news. >> here's the white house press secretary being asked earlier in the day to clarify the president's position on this. >> shouldn't you reserve the term enemy for people who are actually the enemy of the united states rather than journalists? >> the president's not referencing all media. he's talking about the growing amount of fake news that exists in the country and the president's calling that out. >> can you state for the record which outlets that you and the president regard as the enemy of the people? >> i'm not going to walk through a list, but i think those

individuals probably know who they are. >> if you're going to stand there and continue to say there are some journalists, some news outlets in this country that meet that characterization, shouldn't you have the guts, sarah, to state which outlets, which journalists are the enemy of the people? >> i think it's irresponsible of a news organization like yours to blame responsibility of a pipe bomb that was not sent by the president, not just blame the president, but blame members of his administration for those heinous acts. >> cnn's pr department tweeted this in response. quote, no press secretary, cnn did not say donald trump was directly responsible for the bomb sent to our office by his ardent and emboldened supporter. we did say that he and you should understand your words matter. but so far you don't seem to get that. the founder of drudge report took on fox news yesterday,

criticizing the network for a segment on the political implications of recent terror attacks like the pittsburgh synagogue shooting. matt drudge tweeted a segment on fox news this morning where hosts laughed and joked their way on a discussion on political impact of terror was bizarre. check your soul in the makeup chair. he went onto tweet, is it really funny? he followed that with a series of screen shots showing other panel members with the text "hysterical." so gabby, we know the president is visiting pennsylvania today following that synagogue shooting. it's being met with some mixed emotions. how is the president going to balance the tone and the attacks that we've seen at theseunifyin showing empathy here? >> he's being urged by his advisors to really be careful with what he says at this visit.

at this point in time, president trump is being blamed for sowing a lot of division and contributing to this climate of incivility. for him to make this trip on a day when two funerals will take place, it's a time when he needs to show empty, when he needs to ral hi peoply people together. obviously in past visits like this, he has struggled to do that. he has made light of the situation. he has joked about different things that could have taken place that would prevent such tragedies from happening. in the wake of this shooting over the weekend, president trump said if only armed guards were in places of worship, something like this would be prevented. i think that's exactly the type of rhetoric he needs to avoid in his visit to pittsburgh today. >> let me ask you about the president and his administration's constant attack on the media.

they're not backing down from the fake news rhetoric against journalism. what has transpired in the past week that has made them unrerentiunrerent i -- unrelenting in this attack? >> president trump is a massive consumer of the media. we know that he receives headlines printed on his desk almost every morning. he'll often circle them and send them back to aides. i'm certain that "washington post" headline that he referenced in which his name appeared in a story about the pipe bomber is something that he seized on. he thinks this is a media trying to portray him as directly responsible for these attacks, both the one in pittsburgh and the pipe bombs sent to several democratic political figures. it's been made very clear in the past week that the president and his white house aides and senior officials are unwilling at this point to admit any role in contributing to this violence

and instead they're going to continue to criticize the media for unfairly portraying the president and his comments. so president trump is doubling down on labeling tallahassee mayor andrew gillum, the first african-american to be nominated for the florida governor, a quote thief. he said there is a choice between a harvard educated desantis and a thief. gillum has repeatedly said he did nothing wrong and the fbi told him he was not a focus of the investigation. trump cited a recent report that an fbi agent posing as a developer provides gillum and his brother with tickets to the broadway musical hamilton. >> you called andrew gillum, you referenced him being a thief. >> well, the fbi offered him tickets and he took them.

he took a trip with the same fbi agent. the man stone cold took this stuff. i don't even think he should be allowed to continue on. here's a guy that in my opinion is a stone cold thief. >> gillum has said he assumed his brother paid for the tickets and that he has shared all that he knows about that issue. gillum wrote, i heard donald trump ran home to fox news to lie about me. as my grandmother told me, never wrestle with a pig. you both get dirty but the pig likes it so ignore him and vote florida. still ahead, president trump and his family facing a new round of legal questions. details on the new lawsuit accusing the president and three of his adult children of systemic fraud. bill karins will have a check on the forecast.

one week away, president trump, three of his adult children and their company are now facing a new lawsuit over allegedly conning consumers. the complaint filed in federal court alleges that trump, donald junior, ivanka and eric received payments from three business entities in exchange for trump promoting those businesses as legitimate even though they were get rich quick scams which misled investors. one of those companies offered, quote, extravagantly priced seminars on trump's real estate secrets. the lawsuit is being underwritten by a nonprofit whose chairman has been a democratic donor since the suit is quote an effort by opponents of the president to use the courts to advance a political agenda. back in 2016, trump agreed to

pay $25 million to settle a series of lawsuits against his now-defunct for-profit president trump university for allegedly using deceptive practices, all of which he denied. back in june new york's attorney general filed a lawsuit seeking to dissolve the donald trump foundation over other allegations. we've got halloween around the corner. >> bill says the northeast is in good shape so we're a go. >> a lot of people are going to be great, but there's millions that will not be. doesn't look like much now but the storm is going to be moving through the rockies today through the middle of the country late today and into tomorrow. this area of red is three inches, the pink is four inches of rain. that's a lot of water. we have flood watches for this region. it's going to pour right through

u.s. investors. this follows massive volatility last week but shows we're not quite out of the woods yet. yesterday stocks did open higher initially but sentiment turned sharply lower throughout the trading session after reports that the u.s. is considering clapping on tariffs on all remaining imports should the u.s. and china fail to come to an agreement around trade. so we with saw a huge in the dow, 900 points. we saw the s&p end negative again and we saw the nasdaq, the tech-heavy nasdaq stuffer the steepest losses. amazon was the leader there, down about 6.5%. quite steep losses there. let's see how things shape up today. one stock i want to zero in on before i hand back to you is tesla. this company has been in focus because ceo elon musk have been driving a lot of controversy around the shares. yesterday, bailey giffords said

prevagen. healthier brain. better life. joining us now from washington, d.c., cofounder and ceo of axios, jim van dehei. good to have you with us one week before the midterms. tell us a little bit more about your sit-down with president trump. >> yeah. we had a pretty interesting, at

times pretty tense interview with the president for axios on hbo. in it, he made some news. he told us that he plans to use executive order to terminate birth right citizenship. it's embedded in the 14th amendment of the constitution. many legal scholars think the president doesn't have the authority to do it. he was unambiguous in this interview, that he plans to do it. that he's already talked with white house counsel. that he'll proceed with it. he understands the fact that a lot of legal scholars think it's dubious that he has the authority to do this without congress. you guys have been talking about sending troops down to the border, sort of just the raw politics right now of immigration. this is another move he's going to make. it's a huge deal for people who

become citizens because they were born on our soil. >> why isn't that -- it's your get when it comes to that, but why is it something that he would bring up now, knowing it would continue to rile up his base leading up to the midterms? >> this one, i don't think he intended to bring it up. he literally looked at swan and he goes, wait a second, i thought i'm the only one who knew i was going to do this. so i think it's something he was going to do after the election. they're focussing very much on that caravan and moving troops to the boardser even though most people don't think that's a necessary step. so he think he believes this stuff. some of it, obviously, it's a hot topic with his base.

when you look at some of these races, nothing gets republicans more fired up than talking about immigration. you walk fox news and you would think an army is coming the to invade our border. seems like a pretty extraordinary step given you're going to have of about two soldiers for every child that's trying to cross the border. so, again, like that yesterday, red hot topic. we're just at this point in politics right now, one week from the election when people think that the house will probably switch and that the senate might stay where everything is at a full boil between these shootings, between the rhetoric, the enemy, the people stuff yesterday, sort of in some ways nonsensical can, this idea of enemy, enemy, enemy. you'll see on a show sunday we had a very tense exchange about

this. suffice it to say, trump ain't backing down. he really believes this stuff and he does not think he has a responsibility to calm this country. >> enemies on all sides. let's switch gears quickly and i want to get your thoughts on some of the elections. what are some of the challenges? >> a lot of these senate races look difficult. they love trump and a lot of the elections are about trump. in the house, things still look pretty darn good for democrats. there's a lot of speculation that republicans have some momentum at the end. that map just looks awful for republicans. democrats are spending more money. republicans think they're going to lose the house. i think people in the white house think they're going to the lose the house. i think they think this will

happen, too. there's always surprises in these elections. >> jim van dehey, thank you so much. to all of our viewers out there, sign up for the newsletter. >> that does it for us on this tuesday. "morning joe" starts right now. >> tell me the how. are you going to have a massive deportation force? >> you're going to have a deportation force and you're going to do it humanely. >> what if they're applying for asylum? >> we'll told them until their trial takes place. >> where? >> we're going to build tent cities. we're not goes to build structures and spend hundreds of millions of dollars. we're going to have tents. they're going to be very nice. >> very nice tents. yo
