i'm yasmin vossoughian, if you're just joining us, welcome. if you're sticking with us, thank you for that. the devastating situation in the state of florida after the shock comes to realize a shun that all that is lost this now be rebelled. we'll taking you live to the hardest hit spots in the state. the presidents gonna be visiting florida after he makes a trip to puerto rico tomorrow. this is happening as fema promises all the help that is necessary for both of those places. we have other big news that we're tackling this hour as well. the new term, the supreme court about to get started with a historic new justice seated after overturning roe last term. well cut this conservative court target next? at a brand-new nbc poll on a crucial constituency in the midterms, hispanic voters. we'll look at the potential impact in just one important battleground state. and the former president

praising ginni thomas and promoting the big election lie adorably last night in michigan. he's got his faithful singing from the same song sheet. >> -- donald trump's that were at mar-a-lago. do you think they were planted? >> i believe so, the way they're out to get him. >> our friends are good liars join us ahead this hour with their unique approach to finding out what the -- really believe. wait until you hear what one woman says, is coming this halloween. let's head back to florida everybody, the death toll from the hurricane continues to climb. 85 people now pronounced ed, have been confirmed all but for those in the state of florida. the president announcing today that he will travel to the state on wednesday after his trip to puerto rico. were 25 people were killed after hurricane fiona. efforts remain underway to help residents of florida's pine

island, who were left stranded after the only bridge that was critically damaged collapsed. and bc's liz mclaughlin is in fort myers beach covering this. les, great to talk to you once again. folks now beginning to start the cleanup process from the storm. and or recovery or retrieval of anything that's left from their homes, whatever you've been seeing or hearing from people there? >> yasmin, it's still unclear to the extent of the damage. they're just starting to go through all this rubble. we've been showing you the scene so devastating, you could see right behind me this giant yacht that crushed a car. and we are nearly a football field away from the water here. that just shows how much water there was how, much is displaced, it's a tangled mess of power lines, how siding, of little pieces of peoples lives, children's toys, all sorts of

rubble. and we heard from the sheriff the updated number of lives tragically lost, the majority by far in this county, one of the hardest hit places in this country, 42 confirmed casualties, and rescue crews are working day and night to recovery crews to go through all of the rubble, trying to see what's here, what's left if there can be people saved. i spoke to someone if -- you get away marina, and this was his baby. right where we're standing was a building that completely washed away. he talked about what happened with this storm. let's listen. >> i think a lot of these people that state go back to charlie undermine say, wait a minute, they warn us of a surge all the time, it won't happen. guess what? this was up 14 feet. those votes you see, including mine way over there somewhere, went over the power line. >> over the power lines.

you can see that boat behind me, just how much everything moved here. we talk about of course lives lost, bob saying how gratefully is to be alive that his family is safe. but there is the property loss is really heartbreaking for people. because these institutions, these cultural institutions of these community, where they want to think about their favorite restaurant that may be closed during the pandemic. there's energy there from people for years and years. this year for centuries, now on and they can rebuild, but that energy, that unique historic part of it is lost forever. >> just totally and completely devastating. liz mclaughlin, thank you. as i mentioned earlier, the white house announcing that the president is going to visit florida this coming week. the president was quick to authorize federal resources to assist with recovery efforts, -- it along with hundreds of army engineers, medical

professionals, emergency management personnel as well. i want to bring in nbc's josh lederman from the white house for with more on this. besides the president visiting florida this week, he's gonna be first going to puerto rico, talk first about that if you will, josh? >> that visit to puerto rico will be tomorrow. he'll be accompanied by first lady jill biden both there and in florida on wednesday. and one reason the presidents going first to puerto rico, is because as he said a few days ago, he wants to get time for the initial rescue efforts to take place before he shows up with hundreds of security guards, all kinds of motorcade and resources that are needed to accommodate the presidential visit. the president didn't want to be a distraction, or to take away from those efforts. we know from something that president biden said, that he plans to meet with local officials and also to meet with families who have been affected by this, both in puerto rico

and in florida as the president tries to deliver the message in person, that the federal government continue to do everything it can to provide the health people need right now. >> josh, a storm this cale, this magnitude, it's gonna require huge amounts of federal aid. what is the administration's plan for that? >> right now the immediate focus is of course on the initial recovery efforts. but soon, the attentions gonna shift to that longer term on rebuilding and recovery process. that's something that's gonna be extremely costly. we heard fema deanne criswell earlier this morning on -- discussing just how much it could cost. take a listen. >> do you have an early estimate of what it would cost to rebuild across southwest florida, how does this compare to previous hurricanes? >> i don't have a number right now, jonathan. i could tell you this will be in the billions. this will be one of the most

costly storms we've seen in recent years. there is a gantz, ignorant and damage from the west coast all the way to the eastern coast. as a result of the path that into. lots of damage, devastation. >> already we've seen from both of florida's republican senators asking their colleagues to start putting together a legislation to provide hurricane relief to the state of florida. the governor of the state of florida, ron desantis, has made clear that he wants to see the federal government stepped up with that kind of assistance. so, the next steps will be for the administration to put forward are a quest to congress for what it thinks it needs to be able to carry out that work. and for lawmakers to decide just as there had-ing into a very -- whether that's something they want to go ahead and do right now. >> josh lederman, thank you very much. i want to go now back to florida, where volunteers are goal working to feed -- joining us now is stan hays ceo

and -- a nonprofit started back in 2011 in response to the tornadoes that ripped through joplin, missouri. stan, thank you for joining us we appreciate it. i know you've lent a hand, you fed so many folks for so long now. i believe over a decade essentially. have you seen anything like this the, devastation from ian? >> almost every one of the hurricanes that we've been through in the last 5 to 7 years, every one of them is different. you go back to hurricane michael, i think the difference is -- the sheer devastation we saw there. and the difference is that there was more flooding in this, the storm surge was much greater than the wind was during michael. michael blew down trees, groves of trees were just snapped. it looked like a tornado, 100 miles wide. but here you have a lot of that wind obstruction, but a lot of that storm surge is what you're

seeing. the parking lot was -- over a foot to two feet deep in areas. of water that had come in here and just pulled. my guys were out here playing storm drains out and it would subside because we knew we were gonna be in this parking lot. and we needed it to be clear obviously. we have tractor-trailers and you are right now, we have across the street we have 5000 meals just at lifetime today, another 3500 before a dinner. we have 2000 meals, individual meals right next to where the national guard is setting up, we followed that and handed out 2000 meals in less than two hours. pleading them fresh right there today. and the resiliency of the people is just amazing. i have to tell you. i have to tell you, i don't know if i can be so positive if i had gone through this. >> how do you get the word out,

stan? >> there's really a couple ways to go. we use a lot of social media, we use a lot of other nonprofit and faith-based groups to give meals out. they tell a lot about the story. we get a lot of the word out through others, that helped tell the story of the good that we're doing. we ask everybody that can right now to volunteer. we need to go to our website go beyond.org, go to the website, we're looking at doing like 50 to 60,000 meals a day out of this parking lot. not just -- ramping up. we need more people on the ground to be able to help us produce those kinds of meals. and then we're working with caterers, restaurants, across the state to work with us through their kitchen to put out more meals into areas today was just the first day of those, meals in these drive-through

lanes tomorrow we have another location that one is gonna be in -- we're looking at adding locations down in fort myers here and another day or so, the north part of that. we're looking at arcadia, i just happen to be set up about 100 yards from the director's office of united way, here in port charlotte. she's been tasked with trying to get meals into the inglewood area near venice. it's a hard, hard hit community. we're gonna focus on how we can make the biggest impact by supporting other organizations by going out there and getting meals in these communities. right now some of these communities even though they're 30 miles away would take an hour to two hours, because of the sheer could gestion in traffic. >> stan, before i let you go for folks that are watching, i know you mentioned this a little bit earlier, but important to mention again if they want to help you out. they love what you're doing,

how could they help? >> absolutely. go to go beyond.org, click the red button that says volunteer, we need a lot of volunteers. but we also need a lot of donations. it takes a lot especially in the economy that were in run out, fuel prices the way they are, we need the help and they can hit that donate biden. so, go beyond.org and help us out, either volunteer, if you can't do either of those one of the things you can do is you can share this video that's gonna be out there from this interview today on social media with your friends and family, telling them the good that we're doing. >> stan hays, thank you so much, on behalf of all the folks down there that are being fed, all this devastation we thank you. >> thank you very much, yasmin, i appreciate. it >> we continue to follow the latest from florida as cleanup crews are assessing the widespread damage from hurricane ian. plus is the former president wraps up yet another rally, our friends the good liars are back with more outlandish things

that they're hearing from those maga supporters. >> you get a bag like this at halloween, it's fentanyl -- >> drug dealers a lot of time they want to sell their drugs. >> well, not if they're coming here to destroy our country. >> i'm, okay. but first supreme court justices returned to the bench tomorrow and with major cases on race, voting, and discrimination in the last terms pushed to the right is raising concerns for what is ahead. we'll be right back. be right back. put it in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when uc got unpredictable,... i got rapid symptom relief with rinvoq. check. when uc held me back... i got lasting, steroid-free remission with rinvoq. check. and when uc got the upper hand... rinvoq helped visibly repair the colon lining. check. rapid symptom relief. lasting, steroid-free remission. and a chance to visibly repair the colon lining. check. check. and check. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections,

zelenskyy is pledging to recapture even more of the occupied donbas region. the announcement coming after ukrainian forces pushed russia out of the key city of -- so lewinsky also railed against putin's claim of annexing parts of ukraine, calling the alleged referendums a farce. meanwhile, a large nuclear plant -- after he was allegedly blindfold and kidnapped by russians. -- it is great to talk to you. the momentum has continued to shift really in ukraine's favor. what comes next year? >> it has been amazing to see the turnaround over the last couple of days and you are right. they have cleared through lyman now. they have complete control of that area. now delivering food and water to many residents who have been under occupation for months. and they're continuing to move

to the south and also, according to ukraine officials, making progress in the east as well. they are getting closer and closer to kherson. that is a major city. it was the first to fall just a week after the invasion. it has been a russian stronghold. and what ukraine officials say is that they are making their way through and for -- this is all happening just two days after vladimir putin announced the illegal annexation of these regions. and renewed his threats to use nuclear weapons if necessary to defend them. today, the secretary general of the un, or of nato, rather, spoke about that on meet the press. >> what is your level of concern about the nuclear threat right now? >> -- the nuclear rhetoric is dangerous. it is reckless. but it is actually something we have heard several times before. but that does not change the

fact that this is dangerous. >> yeah, and look, ukraine has had repeatedly that they are not going to pay attention to what they call a sham referendum and this annexation. they say that the counteroffensive will continue and they are showing that right now on the ground. >> thank you so much. please stay safe while you are out there reporting for us. back here, everyone in the united states, the new fall term is beginning tomorrow for the supreme court. and with it, new associate justice, ketanji brown jackson. the traditional red mass was held in washington. only two sitting justices were in assists tendons, amy coney barrett and chief justice john roberts. it's coming after a term that saw some of the most historic and controversial decisions in recent memory. from striking down the concealed carry gun law, to limiting the power of the epa, and of course, overturning roe. this next term is poised to be just as rocky, though, as justices appear to --

joining me now is a medicine bc law and political ads analysts -- thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. also tomorrow, we will be hearing the cases in which the supreme court has decided to take up. what are you going to be listening for? >> in the next couple of weeks alone, as you said, we are going to have a whole host of huge, huge cases, including really seminal voting rights act cases. going to go to the question of whether, is anything left of section two of the voting rights act? we are also going to see are just in the coming weeks, cases about the clean water act, the indian child welfare act, cases about weather someone can refuse to provide services to lgbtq couples for their weddings. i almost want to say there is nothing that is not on the docket this year. we have a court that is really inclined to sweep -- >> let me read for you ruth

marcus says opinion and the washington post about the makeup of the supreme court, especially ahead of the beginning of the session. forget the years of republican railing about activist judges legislating from the bench. this majority is perfectly willing to rewrite laws it does not like. see its work on the voting rights act and, ignore statutory text when that is inconvenient. like the climate change case. it insist that constitutional interpretation must be constrained by history, but it cherry picks that history, like the gun case, in a predictable direction. what is your reaction to that? >> everything in that really magisterial piece is accurate. one thing that is really alarming after last term is not just that the court overturned president, decades of precedent, but sometimes replaced it with an knowable, incan here and new

doctrine. tests that we don't actually know how they apply, whether it is the major questions doctrine or new rules about church state interactions, so i think it is not simply true, as she said, that they are cherry-picking history, it's just that we don't know the test anymore. >> some major cases will be surrounding race, as you mentioned, specifically when it comes to affirmative action, at harvard, university you nsc as well -- as we take a look at the makeup of the supreme court right now and how they decided in the last -- how do you think this will go? >> one worry -- john roberts is now considered a moderate, right? he sometimes throws and with the three liberals. and yet, he has been part of a lifelong project in his career to sort of say, as he has that in cases, the way to stop

discriminating on the basis of race as to start discriminating -- and look through that lance. this is a real juggernaut in terms of racial gerrymandering, racial preferences and higher education, the indian child welfare act. in one realm or another, i think this is a court that is going to be dedicated to the idea that color blindness is the law, even if it means rectifying wrongs. >> let's talk ahead of this new term about the legitimacy of this court if we can for a moment. we know chief justice john roberts has defended the legitimacy and the integrity of this court. and yet, elena kagan saying this. i'm not talking about any particular decision or any particular series of decisions. but if, overtime, the court loses all connection with the public at the public sentiment, that is a dangerous thing for democracy. where do you see the legitimacy of the supreme court now, especially after the roe decision in comparison, of

course, to public opinion when it comes to abortion rights in this country? >> it is not even what i think. at this point, it is what the polling shows and gallup polling shows that the courts approval ratings are the lowest since there has been polling. and the public really feels as if the court is no longer doing the work of a court. it is doing the work of a political branch. it's interesting that the justice took a whack adelaide not kagan when she said that. he didn't name her. but he said, no one should be calling into question the legitimacy of the court. it's interesting that the dobbs opinion is the thing that has been really the lever that has allowed americans to doubt the court. >> thank you. appreciate it. up next everybody, we are live from fort myers, florida, where search and rescue missions continue and a mandatory evacuation is now in place. we will be right back. back. the new subway series menu. the greatest sandwich roster ever assembled. tony, the new outlaw's got double pepper jack and juicy steak. let's get some more analysis on that, chuck.

mmm. pepper jack. tender steak. very insightful, guys. the new subway series. what's your pick?

it's the all-new subway series menu. twelve irresistible new subs. the most epic sandwich roster ever created. ♪♪ it's subway's biggest refresh yet! we are working with elon musk

and he has got the satellite. he has been repositioning those to be over this part of florida. and we are able to give these -- i guess it comes from there to here and you can get the internet off this with your device. >> so, that was florida governor ron desantis, speaking moments ago, saying that he has enlisted him on mosques help to bring back connections to the impacted areas. happening now, search and rescue teams are sifting through debris and then devastated area of fort myers beach. a mandatory evacuation is still in effect. officials warning residents that many structures are still not stable. helping in this process, 12,000 national guard troops deployed by the governor. nbc's -- is there for us and fort myers, beach. good to talk to you once again. talk just about what you have been seeing there. what our search and rescue crews telling you about their experience so far? >> when you talk about

structures, you can see the structures behind me. this is the entrance to fort myers, beach. it goes to the island. the large part of the beach. look at these mobile homes, many of them destroyed. we have been told that on the island, they are calling it ground zero. this is the area where, unfortunately, they have been pulling out bodies of people who died in the storm. we have been seeing emergency vehicles exit throughout the day and over on the other side, there is a bus waiting and these are the vehicles that are being used to help evacuate a lot of the people that were on the island during the storm and that remain. we are having conversations with some of them. just moments ago i spoke with a woman who said, we survived the storm there. we had some supplies we decided to stay another day. but then, it just became very difficult to survive there and they're having a hard time getting out because they were injured. finally, they were evacuated. yesterday, we spoke with a man who was being brought over in

one of the national guard vehicles and this is what he told us. >> what is it like over there? >> it is much worse in our area. it doesn't do justice. [inaudible] i ride my bike over. i am trying to take care of what i need to take care of. >> i understand some people have died in the storm. >> yes. my next door neighbor is missing. he did not leave and he is not there. we are concerned. but what can you do? >> again, every other person we speak to who either leaves the island or lived in this area, tells us they know someone. local authorities say they have gotten a lot of messages and phone calls of neighbors who are still worried, trying to find someone. that is a situation still in fort myers beach where they continue with the search and rescue mission and they continue evacuating a lot of people that have remained on that island. >> i know that you visited a

local church. people are really coming together to support that community. what did you hear from them? >> right. so, we have been talking about the fact that there are different areas that were affected in different ways. some people were affected by the water. others have no power, no running water, so everywhere is suffering. this morning, we were told there was a special service outside the church, just to gather with members of the community to talk about their emotions and just sort of exchange feelings and work together, moving forward as they recover from the storm. here is part of the conversations that we had with people at the church. >> faith, family, friends, i have all of that so maybe i don't have power, i do have water, but maybe i don't have power, but i have those other things that are the most important thing. my son is fine. my dogs are fine. my kid is fine. we will make it through. it we will -- living here for 53 yards and seeing the place i got married as calm, the place that i got

engaged is wrong -- gone. my childhood home is gone. that is hard to see. faith, family, and friends. >> and as the death toll rises, there's a new appreciation for life. a lot of the people we speak to, they tell us yes, like you heard this woman, we lost everything, but i am alive. some people have told me stories. i saved someone on my boat and i am going to ask our camera man to look over here. you can see these are the vehicles that are helping evacuate a lot of these presidents. you can see some luggage there. there is an ambulance. you see ambulances go in and out. we spoke to someone from fema yesterday who says they are finding people who need medical services. this is what it is like right now as they continue that search and ref you asked for. >> thank you. appreciate it. coming up everybody, we are less than six weeks away from

the midterms and a brand-new nbc news poll reveals where crucial latino voters are now falling on the political spectrum. and what issues they care about most. we will be right back. ight back. d. for more on the new boss, here's patrick mahomes. incredible - meatballs, fresh mozzarella and pepperon- oh, the meatball's out! i thought he never fumbles. the new subway series. what's your pick?

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ we are now just a month and

change away from the midterms and much of the focus is on the senate and gubernatorial races and several swing states. one of the crucial factors in the election will be the latino vote, which could mean the difference in the outcomes of elections in several states. nbc news and telemundo out with new polling today with interesting insights into the nation's largest minority voting bloc. while democrats remain the preferred party amongst latinos nationwide, that number is now down 11% over the last couple of years. ten years, i should say. with support for republicans in november elections going up 10% and what is key to remember here is that utility no vote is anything but monolithic.

latinos who are female, catholic, and live in california -- democrats also hoping the abortion issue gets votes in their favor. over 70% of latino voters support a woman's right to choose. 50% trust the democratic party on this issue. 54% disapprove of roe overturn. overall, cost of living is a big issue for latino voters. followed by threat to democracy, jobs, and immigration. this hispanic heritage month, we have been looking at latino voting power in key battleground states. in a few states -- it is expected to see a nearly 6% jump in hispanic voter participation this year. it could count for over 20% of the total votes cast. that is where one of the closest senate races in the nation's happening right now. between incumbent democrat

catherine -- and trump backed republican challenger adam -- despite democrats strong track record of the state of nevada, the latest polling showing that he is gaining momentum with just weeks to go. nevada could be the republicans best chance of taking the senate in november. i'm joined for more with ricardo torres -- reporter for the las vegas review journal. ricardo, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> when you take a look at latino support for democrat, as i mentioned, it has dropped significantly over the last decade or so. are we expecting that same trend to continue past the midterms along with the 2024 presidential election? >> we are. especially with president donald trump, the support between latinos for republicans has been increasing. and they at least hope that that will also happen in november. >> how much of the shifting in

support is due to a lack of outreach, specifically within the democratic party to the latino voters? >> almost 50% of latinos reached, according to a study, responded that they had not heard from either campaign. so, right now we're seeing a lot of advertisements in spanish and a lot of canvassing the culinary union, which represents hospitality users -- has endorsed republicans in the past. but is supporting the democrats this time around. expect 1 million homes across the state -- >> you wrote about how the former president basically tapped into many of the latino voters conservative values. trump success amongst latino voters in 2020 was less about them converting from democrat to republican, but rather trump and the republican party better mobilizing that conservative element of the conservative party that had generally gone untapped. we're talking about economic

issues, obviously, as we talked about, top of mind for latino voters. what else? and what can democrats learn from this? >> yeah, like you said, they went off after people who were not involved in the electorate at all. and he had the strongest showing because of the economy. this time around, nevada has some of the highest housing prices, granting prices and gas prices in the country, so the economy is going to come down to it. i think it is just reaching out to them, the republicans we spoke to told us that there is a lot more excitement than in previous times, where they used to see a handful of the same people, latinos and republicans. now they see several dozen. >> and what about abortion rights? how will that affect things? >> both parties -- there is a majority that do not support bans on abortion.

but i don't think it's going to come back to more of the social issues, rather than the economic one. >> thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> after the break, trump supporters flock to his michigan rally yesterday. but struggling to say what they actually likes about the gop. actually likes about the gop what brought you here today? look at you excited? >> everything about the republican party. >> okay. what are they doing that you like so much? >> they are fiscally responsible. crime -- across the board. >> good liars -- having a good time. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's a pool party. look what i brought! liberty mutual! they customize your home insurance... so you only pay for what you need! ♪young people having a good time with insurance.♪ ♪young people.♪ ♪good times.♪ ♪insurance!♪ only pay for what you need.

♪liberty liberty. liberty. liberty.♪ the tenth pick is in the new all-american club. that's a “club” i want to join! let's hear from simone. chuck, that's a club i want to join! i literally just said that. i like her better than you the new subway series. what's your pick? as we talk about and think of

the rigged and stolen election of 2020, presidential election rigged and stolen, i would like to think a great woman named ginni thomas. she says that she still believes the 2020 election was stolen. she didn't say oh well, i would

like to not get involved. it was a wonderful election. it was a rigged and stolen election. >> you know who that was, praising ginni thomas, and sticking to the big lie script -- the wife of supreme court justice -- is not the only one sticking to this big lie. as our friends, the good liars found out. >> it took a month, for one thing, to elect biden in their. they had a whole month to do whatever they did. it is supposed to be a one day election. what is this month? >> well, they said that he won just a few days later, after they counted all the ballots. >> i don't feel they did. >> the good liars joining me live once again. he does not think -- although, they did. it seems as if the election lie

is alive and well at these trump rallies two years in. >> yeah, absolutely. i think people are sticking to the script. i don't know if he thinks the inauguration was when they finish counting the votes or something. but they -- i don't know where they are getting the information. but you get the sense that people are not getting asked a lot of follow-up questions when -- >> jason, i am always curious as to how these folks react to kind of what is going on. i am so happy that you guys asked about the mar-a-lago search and what was actually found there. and it certainly seems to be some conspiracy theories now that are rolling around what was found at mar-a-lago. let's play for folks a bit of your conversation about that and then we will talk. >> you think that the confidential documents that donald trump admitted were at

mar-a-lago, you think that they were planted their? >> i believe so, yeah. >> the documents that donald trump said, yes, i have them in mar-a-lago, you think those were planted there? >> i believe they were planted or whatever he had there wasn't as high profile as they are trying to make it out to be. >> essentially, the department of, the fbi, they're making it up. these were classified documents. it is something that you are hearing a lot when you guys attend these rallies? >> yeah. it actually feels like what they are doing is just parroting whatever they hear from donald trump. that could be that they were declassified or they were planted their or whatever he implies that the time. and actually at the rally, we handed out some signs to the people there to go in, just in case trump said one thing. one of them said the docks were declassified any other said the docks were planted.

so, depending on what trump said, you just hold up one side of the sign. >> were people receptive? did they hear the science? >> oh, they loved it. we ask people to demonstrate. if donald trump said they are planted, what do you do? hold up the sign, the dogs were planted. people were absolutely on board. >> [laughs] >> and some of the people were offended about the picture that the fbi took that made donald trump look messy. they were offended that they made donald trump look like a slob, like that was the real crime there, not these dealing of classified documents that belong to the government. it's the fact that they made him look a little bit massie. i think probably because donald trump had just put it through social truth about that earlier. >> i feel like i know the answer to this question, but is anybody at all -- did you encounter anyone at any of these rallies, especially since the mar-a-lago search,

that anybody was skeptical about the documents that were there or maybe the former president should not have had those documents at mar-a-lago -- did anybody voice any concern to you, either of you, at all? >> no. i think people are a little confused and they just err on the side of saying, we really don't know what happened, but donald trump is so smart that he wouldn't have had anything incriminating. >> they always say, you would have to be really stupid to do that, to take those documents. and we're kind of like, yes. >> [laughs] >> they found them there, so -- >> [laughs] >> you are three quarters of the way there. >> jason said that a lot of these folks are just parroting what the former president has to say. it seems like they are parroting some other people as well. the woman that you spoke to spoke about what was going to happen at halloween to all of her kids. what they were going to get instead of the candy that they

owe so love. you guys went down a little bit of a rabbit hole with this it seems. they finally admitted, you just need to listen to this people. watch this and you will know what i'm talking about. let's watch and then we will talk. >> the drug dealers will be giving away -- >> drug dealers, the illegals that are here, they just crossed because biden has our border wide open. >> the illegals that have houses that the kids are coming to knock on the illegals houses doors and there are drug dealers that are giving the children their drugs? >> look at fox news. i need to do is watch an episode of fox news. >> they will tell you that -- >> they're going into our playgrounds. >> and they will be giving away -- >> yeah! >> [laughs] i just loved how -- i just need to figure out when it is you're actually telling me here. [laughs] and just the point that there

is this belief that drug dealers are -- who knew? so giving! just giving away drugs for free! >> i remember going out and trick or at halloween got growing up and they said that there would be razor blades in the apples that i got. and i was not sad that i had to throw away all the apples that i got while trick-or-treating. >> [inaudible] >> but that was just a panic. that was not happening. but people have the whole narrative that this is something that is going to be flooding our streets and i think they are missing some of the details, but yeah, i was trying to get the story straight. i'm not sure i figured out what the exact theory is. but i'm sure if you listen to fox news, they will be happy to fill in the gaps. >> -- >> [laughs] especially our viewers. that razor-thin was not real? i was talking about that with my executive producer in our office a little bit earlier.

was that an urban myth? that wasn't a real thing? >> it wasn't urbina. everything surrounding poisoned halloween candy and all that, i think it has happened so rarely, but the razor blade thing, i googled it specifically before talking to you and it is an urban meth. >> that is why we bring you guys on. the preparedness and fact-checking that you guys have. we appreciate you googling things like was razor blades in apples a real thing? >> that is news right there.
