thank you for being here with you. good night from nbc news headquarters here in new york. ♪ with five days left until the midterms, president trump is ramping up his immigration rhetoric. he now says he may triple the number of troops he sends to the border. plus, the president is slamming paul ryan after the house speaker broke with him on birthright citizenship. the president claims the wisconsin republican knows nothing about the issue. and new developments in the disappearance of jamal kashoggi. a turkish prosecutor claims kashoggi was strangled as soon as he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul. ♪

good morning. i'm ayman mohyeldin. we are now five days from the midterm elections. president trump is doing everything he can to define the debate. yesterday he tripled the estimated number of u.s. troops that he wants to go to the u.s./mexico border to 15,000, more than the number of troops serving in afghanistan, believe it or not. >> you're talking about 10,000, maybe 15,000 active duty u.s. military to the border. >> yes. >> more than we have fighting the taliban in afghanistan, isis in syria. >> yeah. >> you're really going to do that? >> it's very important. we have to have a wall of people, dedicated patriots. that's what they are. you have caravans coming up that look a lot larger than reported. i'm pretty good at estimating crowd size. they look a lot bigger than people would think.

>> the president continues to make claims like this tweet, quote, republicans will protect people with preexisting conditions far better than the dems. in illinois, former vice president joe biden responded to that. >> you have the president of the united states saying we guarantee or whatever his phrase was everybody's covered with preexisting conditions. simply not true. they're either not telling the truth or they're really stupid. >> the president reduced birthright citizenship which experts consider an explicit package passage. >> a vote for democrats is a vote to liquidate america's borders. and it's a vote to let meth,

fentanyl, heroin and other deadly drugs pour across our border. >> of course, there was also this promise from the president just 12 days ago. >> we are going to be putting in and are studying very deeply right now round-the-clock a major tax cut for middle income people. >> what's your time frame for that? >> sometime around the first of november, maybe a little before that. >> just a friendly reminder, today is the first of november. finally the president made this argument for his party next week. >> if the midterms for some reason don't do so well for republicans, i think you're all going to lose a lot of money. i hate to say that. >> new data shows that americans in several states have already voted in record numbers. so far there are 17 states that have surpassed overall and absentee voting numbers from

2014. at the same time, the cook political report is predicting democrats will gain between 30 and 40 house seats after the midterms. last month it was predicted that dems would take between 25-35 seats. president trump mentioned a conspiracy theory about the migrant caravan, telling reporters this outside the white house yesterday. watch. >> i wouldn't be surprised. i wouldn't be surprised. >> george soros? >> i don't know who. a lot of people say yes. >> that unproven conspiracy theory that george soros is providing financial support for the caravan. in indiana joe donnelly has a seven-point lead over the republican mike braun.

a poll conducted slightly earlier shows donnelly ahead by two points. and donnelly up by three points in a three-way race. he will get support from former president barack obama on sunday at a rally in gary, indiana. in texas, the university of texas poll had senator ted cruz at 47% with likely voters and beto o'rourke at 43%. a source with knowledge of the cruz campaign's internal polling told nbc news earlier this week that the senator's lead is in the low double digits. but with five days to go, cruz has just launched this aggressive attack ad. >> beto o'rourke is more extreme than he wants you to know. not even nancy pelosi is open to abolishing ice, but beto is.

>> would you vote to impeach him right now? >> i would, yeah. >> not even elizabeth warren has suggested legalizing all nark narcotics, but beto did. >> claire mccaskill and josh hawley. the wisconsin senate race shows tammy baldwin leading the republican. in tennessee the fox news poll gives marsha blackburn a nine-point lead. in nevada the cnn poll shows jacky rosen up by three points

against dean heller. >> the trump administration still has no strategy for fighting disinformation campaigns aimed at swaying u.s. elections. three people knowledgeable about the matter told that will to politico. last month the intelligence and law enforcement agencies warn russia, china, iran are all engaging in ongoing campaigns to influence american elections and policies in the absence of high level white house coordination. the trump administration has allowed agencies like the fbi, cia and department of homeland security to decide how to respond to foreign government's attempts to use social media and other propaganda to undermine u.s. elections. politico also reports the absence of an overreaching strategy has caused officials to meet repeatedly over the past year to discuss issues such as when to announce evidence and

who in the government takes the lead on such investigations. the white house says the process is working as intended and a spokesman for the national security council called the coordination wholly appropriate. a turkish prosecutor says kashoggi was strangled immediately after entering the consulate. he says his body was dismembered and destroyed in line with advance plans. the whereabouts of kashoggi's body remains unknown to officials. a senior turkish official also tells the "washington post" that turkish authorities are pursuing a theory that kashoggi's dismembered body was destroyed on the consulate ground or at the saudi consul general's residence nearby using acid, citing biological evidence said to have been found in the consulate garden, adding

kashoggi's body was not in need of burying. >> the prosecutor's statement gives the first official detailed account of kashoggi's final moments and follows weeks of government leaks. it also follows leaks of an ever-changing saudi arabian explanation for the killing which originally stated kashoggi left the consulate on his own soon after arriving, then claimed rogue agents killed kashoggi during a fistfight while trying to kidnap him, while last week they said evidence suggested premeditated murder. dave, can i ask you a little bit think about kashoggi and the fact that we're getting this information from turkey, is that going to change the narrative going forward, the fact that they're saying this was not a premeditated murder? >> right. so turkey has been driving the bus on this one. they've been at the forefront of every new bit of information we've been getting.

saudi arabia has not really come up with an answer that satisfies anyone so far. the question is whether this story runs its course and peters out without some sort of moment of reckoning. the coverage is getting less intense, so it's a question of whether saudi arabia can sort of ride out the outrage and let the story die down. >> i know that the president is rolling out a slew of skefb t k conservative talking points before the midterms. is this a tactic that will resonate with his base? >> i think there's two major themes to these rallies from the president. one is immigration and it's this very hard line dark view of immigration that people are breaking into our country and we're going to be overrun. the other one is donald trump,

right? i need your support because i'm under attack and there's a lot of things i need to get done and i can't do it without more republicans around me. so if you are a republican sitting in a red state who really thinks we need to get our people out, then this is probably a great message for you. president trump still has big support from the republican base. if you are maybe in a swing district and this looks like a tough one for you and the democrats are arguing on health care, then maybe you think, geez, i wish we had a more issues based campaign, something that maybe is more in line with what my voters think. as always, it depends on the district. >> election disinformation -- we've got the midterms just a few days away. it looks like the trump administration doesn't really have any kind of plan to combat that election disinformation. so how does that affect the outcome of next week? >> the politico report is interesting. it basically says, yeah, there

have been meetings going on at different agencies throughout the last two years, but there's no consensus, there's no plan. if we see this, this is how we respond, no overriding strategy with buy-in from the stop. that's concerning. we know that 2016 was fought over disinformation to a large degree. part of this is we'll never know how it affected the outcome. it's hard to go backwards and say whose vote changed over this. we haven't got our act together two years later. but like i said, we probably won't know. >> it's almost incredible that we're still not in a place to defend against these attacks. >> i wonder if they've changed way they get their information together. still ahead, steve bannon seems to be back on the campaign trail but he's not really having

the kind of impact that he actually hoped for. plus, the president uses hid visit to the site of the deadly shooting in pittsburgh as a preface to attack the media. you've tried moisturizer after moisturizer

wants to interview bannon later this month. meanwhile steve bannon has been making the rounds trying to rally partnership's base. however, unlike 2016, it appears fewer are actually interested in bannon this time around. only 38 people showed up in staten island to hear bannon speak and watch his latest film. on tuesday, about two dozen people showed up for bannon's red tide rising rally at a holiday inn express in kansas. that did not include gop candidate steve watkins, who didn't show up despite the rally being held for him. and whose campaign made a point of saying it had nothing to do with it? bannon acknowledged he has done

sixth events where just ten people showed up. steve king is facing criticism from his own party because of his associations with white nationalism. his colleague carlos cabello had this to say. >> his comments are disgusting. >> those comments come after the "washington post" reported last week that congressman king had recently met with members of a far right austrian party with historical nazi ties. in an interview yesterday, congressman king claimed his critics have failed to offer anything specific, saying, if you attack someone and you're not citing anything, you're just a cannibal.

san delay -- sandra day o'connor and her husband john met at stanford university. it's long been known that she and renquist dated at stanford for a time. but now it's been discovered ren quist's interest in her went much further. >> i think he was lonely in washington and he began writing her. then he went onto say, sandy, will you marry me? >> she married john o'connor and he married natalie cornell.

let's get a check on your weather now. >> it's a very active november 1st morning. we watched tornados yesterday, five of them reported. we had severe storms in eastern texas, then through louisiana last night with two tornado reports. even in the last half hour we've had reports of a tree that has fallen on a house in mississippi. it's heading right through the heart of mississippi. eventually it will move into alabama. in the next couple of hours hopefully the severity of these storms will begin to lessen. we're also getting a drenching rain in arkansas and missouri.

portions of illinois too were soaked for all the kids unfortunately. as far as severe weather, maybe an isolated tornado or two through the next 4- 8 hours mostly from biloxi to mobile. wind damage will be more common with trees down possibly on cars or homes. i mentioned that heavy rain threat. 18 million people are under flood watches from western new york through ohio all the way down through louisville, bowling green and paducah included. by the time everyone gets back in the car to head home, the heaviest rains from northern ohio to western new york weakens in the southeast. it is going to be a soaking friday early morning from new york city north wardward. about 2-3 inches of rain is

possible. it's not going to be a fun commute in the northeast tomorrow morning at this time. still ahead, time to break out the duck boats as boston celebrates its beloved red sox. while their manager can't help but take one last shot at their arch rival. d butch. and tank. and tiny. and this is laura's mobile dog grooming palace. laura can clean up a retriever that rolled in foxtails, but she's not much on "articles of organization." articles of what? so, she turned to legalzoom. they helped me out. she means we helped with her llc, trademark, and a lot of other legal stuff that's a part of running a business. so laura can get back to the dogs. would you sit still? this is laura's mobile dog grooming palace and this is where life meets legal. you might or joints.hing for your heart... but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish,

time now for sports and the latest opportunity for the city of boston to break out the duck boats, this time sell bacelebrie red sox. what was meant to be a day honoring the sox somehow became about the yankees. >> think about it. the new york yankees, yeah, the sky was falling. we lost game two and it was panicking here, whoa, it's over. we scored 16 at yankee state yum. suck on it. >> all right. red sox manager surely won't regret those comments next season. maybe it really would have been better for baseball had the yankees met the dodgers in the championship instead of the sox. ratings from boston's five-game victory are down 25% from last year's world series and are the fourth lowest in history. more bad news for baseball with the passing of willie mccovey

welcome back, everyone. it is the bottom of the hour so we're starting with the controversy over the president's plan to do away with birthright citizenship by executive order. after house speaker paul ryan said in an interview that the

president, quote, obviously cannot do that, the president hit back on twitter posting, quote, paul ryan should be focusing on holding the majority rather than giving his opinions on birthright citizenship, something he knows nothing about. the president was asked about his response yesterday. >> birthright citizenship is a very, very important subject. in my opinion, it's much less complex than people think. i think it says it loud and clear in the constitution that you don't have to go through the process of whatever they're talking about. just so you understand, a person comes in, was never in our country before, has a baby and now all of a sudden the baby's a united states citizen.

and through chain migration and other things, many other people come in through the baby. it's ridiculous. all you have to do is take a look at what harry reid said in 1993. guess what? before he went insane, he got it right. >> harry reid responded, pointing out that after he proposed that bill, his wife set him down and, quote, set him straight and he changed his position. the former senate majority leader repeatedly called it the biggest mistake of his career. trump also took on former president obama. >> if president obama can get daca approved, if you look at daca where we actually said this isn't legal but this i can't do but i'll do it anyway and then he gets a judge to approve it and it will ultimately be decided by the supreme court, i hope, quickly. but certainly if he can do daca, we can do this by executive

order. >> the president said that about daca despite saying this on the campaign trail. >> i will immediately terminate president obama's illegal executive order on immigration, immediately. we will immediately terminate president obama's two illegal executive amnesties in which he defied federal law and the constitution to give amnesty to approximately 5 million illegal immigrants. a grand jury has indicted the suspect in the pittsburgh synagogue massacre. 46-year-old robert bowers was charged in a 44-count indictment for shooting and killing 11 and wounding six more. he's also charged with hate crimes and other offenses that could bring the death penalty. three more victims were laid to rest yesterday. 75-year-old joyce feinberg,

melvin wax. trump tweeted melania and i were treated very nicely yesterday in pittsburgh. small protest was not seen by us, staged far away. the fake news stories were gis graceful. yesterday in pittsburgh i was really impressed with congressman keith rothfus. his sincere level of compassion, grief and sorrow for the events that took place was very inspiring. vote for keith. here's what the president said at his rally in florida just last night. >> yesterday's visit to pittsburgh was about coming together as a nation to comfort and to heal. after this day of unity and togetherness, i came home and

sadly turned on the news and watched as the far left immediamedia once again used tragedy to sow anger and division. in the race for georgia governor the final debate between candidates has been cancelled after republican brian kemp pulled out so he could campaign alongside the president. the debate had been scheduled for this sunday at 5:00 p.m. and was agreed upon six weeks ago. on monday president trump announced he would be holding a rally for kemp. kemp backed out of the debate citing scheduling conflicts. in a statement kemp falsely claimed it was stacey abrams who cancelled the event. the presideoprah winfrey is georgia to campaign for abrams.

abrams will also rally for president obama at moorehouse college. he and joe biden are hammering republicans for claiming to support a key provision of the health care law they opposed. >> republicans are running millions of dollars worth of ads around the country saying we're going to protect preexisting conditions. they took over 60 votes in congress to get rid of it. that is some kind of chutzpah. but let's also call it what it is. it is a lie. >> i'm going to just say it and it's not my style usually. they're just simply lying. no, no. about their commitment to preexisting conditions. you have the president of the united states saying we

guarantee everybody with preexisting conditions is covered. simply not true. they're either not telling the truth or they're really stupid. >> let's talk about the president's comments on paul ryan. why is he doing that? this is a fellow gop party leader. does he think he's in a weakened position since he's retiring so he's fair game? >> i was actually more surprised by paul ryan's remarks than by donald trumps in that he was willing to contradict trump so publicly. if donald trump says i'm going to do this thing and you come out and say you can't do that thing, you know what's coming next, right? i think what's interesting is paul ryan and donald trump's relationship is kind of ending

where it started. everybody has lined up behind donald trump and paul ryan is leaving. >> interesting to see if paul ryan down the road unleashes in his final couple of weeks in office. the president is not known to be a politically correct guy. he's getting some flak for tweeting what was meant to be a solemn video remembering the synagogue victims, but instead he used that to bash the media and his critics. it begs the question, what was he thinking? >> i think he was responding to the reporting about protests and the comments from some in the community that they didn't want him to come. he was obviously sensitive to that criticism. i think part of it is donald trump doesn't do unity for long. this is kind of his style.

there's not that many presidents who after a tragedy like this would personalize it about themselves and would turn it into a political statement. and so it's unusual. it's obviously getting a lot of pushback, but it's kind of the way he tends to handle these things. >> i think some would argue that he doesn't do unity at all. >> i think he's the only one who's ever behaved in this manner. still ahead -- one of the nation's top attorneys makes the case that robert mueller may have already subpoenaed the president and that trump's legal team is secretly fighting it. because we're so close to the election, we haven't heard much recently about the russia investigation. but yesterday we learned that robert

alerted the fbi after women came forward to say someone offered her about $20,000 to accuse mueller of sexual misconduct and harassment. i mean, if you're going to pay women to lie, the charges have to pass the smell test. mueller is so famously a straight shooter his birthday suit is a suit. a wild night for mueller is having coffee after 5:00 p.m. honey, i hope you can forgive me. it was halfcaff. if you have moderate to severe

psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable,

with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you're pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you.

subpoena in secret litigation that would tell us by december whether the president will testify before mueller's garage. on august 15, trump's lawyer rudy giuliani said he was almost finished with his memorandum opposing a subpoena. a day later a sealed grand jury case was initiated in the d.c. federal district court. on september 19, howell issued a ruling. five days later one of the parties appealed to the d.c. circuit. cunningham also notes that the special counsel's office is involved in this case because a politico reporter overheard a conversation while staking out the d.c. circuit clerk's office. with all that in mind, we can further deduce that the special counsel prevailed in court. politico notes that nothing about the obtained docket sheets discloses the identity of the witness. reporters also reached out to

many of the possible attorneys from mueller witnesses, including two of trump's lawyers. both have denied knowledge of the witnesses' identity. president trump weighed in on the topic yesterday. >> have you received a subpoena at all from robert mueller? >> no. >> so president trump will turn over portions of his calendars and journals in a defamation lawsuit filed against him by the former apprentice contestant who accused him of sexual assault. summer zervos alleges that during december of 2007 trump groped and forcibly kissed her in a los angeles beverly hills hotel. she claimed he ambushed her more than once in 2007. the president has denied all of

these allegations. we're going to have an active storm system leading into the weekend. then it kind of quiets down by tend of t the end of the week. we had tornado warnings in central portions of mississippi. those storms will roll through new orleans in about the next half hour to the next hour. our severe weather threat today is all of the areas of southern alabama from mobile to panama city to pensacola over to tallahassee. the storms will be a little weaker as they trek into arieas of the southeast coast. rest of the country looks okay today. rain ending in st. louis as we go throughout the day. friday, it is going to pour early in the morning in areas of new england especially. then we get a line of storms here through the southeast. as we head through the weekend into saturday, we're going to

see another storm on that front heading up through new england. two period of heavy rain with two separate storms, one friday morning, the other one saturday morning heading through the northeast. and we have another clipper system coming down through the plains. by sunday the east coast clears out for a beautiful fall day. we like the sunday forecast because in new york city that's the new york city marathon. we are going to start off chilly and brooeezy, about 46 degrees. then it should be perfect conditions during the afternoon. i am running my first marathon on sunday new york city. >> wow. [ applause ] >> we haven't done anything yet. >> the biggest mistake i made besides signing up was i'm still supposed to work monday morning. >> if you win on sunday, we will give you monday morning off. >> so i should go out with the leaders?

amazon techs fell nearly 10%. juliana joins us live with more. what are investors looking for for november? >> good morning, lewis. so investors are digesting what was the worst month for the 2008 recession. some massive moves for amazon and google's parent company alphabet. they are not alone in seeing massive losses. the whole sector suffered this month. 8 out of 10 sectors ended lower. investors are concerned about rising interest raids and the impact of the u.s.-china trade conflict. in terms of why tech has been hit so massively, tech stocks rode the waves higher. so it would make sense that they would get hit hardest on the way down, as well. the one thing investors are

looking out for now is reporting on apple. a lot of sentiment moving forward will likely be determined on the back of these results. keeping in the tech space, one interesting bit of niece is related to netflix. netflix is going to launch three of their movies in cinemas before they actually hit their streaming service. this marks a big pivot in netflix's willingness to adapt and change their model. people say these movies are oscar contenders. we may start to see netflix in with the big dogs in oscars very soon. lewis. >> all right. it will be a big day for google as employees worldwide will be staging a protest today in the company's handling of sexual misconduct following a bombshell

joining us now from washington, d.c. with a look at axo a.m., cofounder and ceo of axios jim van dehei. i know you have an exclusive for the one big thing the morning. what's the exclusive today? >> we have another clip that we did for axios hbo. we had a lengthy, often tense exchange with the president and whether or not he's worried that this could result in the shooting of a reporter or others. and it was a pretty fascinating exchange. he made it clear throughout the interview that he feels he has to do this because it's what got him elected and he says his audiences command it. he said the audiences need it. they want it. they want the attacks. so it's clear he both feels the grievance. he does feel like he's outmatched against the media which i don't understand, but he also feels that this is the way to keep his party energized.

and he made plain that this is going to continue. it will probably escalate. and god forbid something happens, some reporter gets hurt or shot, that that is not his issue. >> i'm just curious. you were asking that pointed question. coming from you, jim, to the president, do you feel an animus from him? is he amused by it? you're really just punching, the two of you guys, on this topic. >> what is really interesting is i think he felt more comfortable in that part of the interview than when we were talking about any policy or google or anti-trust. it's almost like he welcomes the confrontation. i am convinced he is just so consumed with the media, the amount that he watches, the amount that he tweets, he is just so filled with grievance. at different points, he sounds like he's outmatched against the

media. i'm like, you're the president. you won. i'm like, you tweet five, six times a day and we all write about it. you're on tv constantly. yet he does feel besieged and a sense of grievance. in some ways, he hasn't changed can at all in two or three years. he he has the same am of grievance. maybe it's even stronger today. and it was clear in that interview and with all that's going on, these awful shootings, the elections, it was the media that was most of his mind. cannot wait to watch that. that will be great. >> a lot of buzz around that. congrats. >> thank you very much. you're going to be on "morning joe." for all of you, sign up for the newsletter at signup.axios.com. >> that does it for us. "morning joe" starts right now. >> i have a 6-year-old grandson. he says, grandpa, how are you

going to win the election? i said, you get more votes than the other person. it's as simple as that. >> that's quite not that simple. you've got to give or take about 3 million votes. that's how you win. good morning and welcome to "morning joe." it's thursday, november 1st. joe is off this morning but along with willie and me, we have mike barnacle, susan delpercio, john pedoritz and jim van dehei. a lot to talk about now. five days from the midterm elections, president trump is doing everything he can to define the debate. yesterday, he tripled the estimated number of u.s. troops that he wants to go to the
