is being a dad. number one, especially during this time. it is critical time and my daughter's lives. all right, that report from this hour. i'm lindsay reiser, i'll be back monday at 11 am eastern on msnbc. simone starts right now. >> greetings. you are watching simone. we are following today's new development regarding herschel walker. the republican nominee for the united states senate and georgia and allegations he paid a woman for abortion. even though he wants to ban abortion with no exceptions. with this apparent progress to make a difference at the polls? do republicans even care? we will find out. we are 31 days away from its midterm elections, with early voting already underway in some states. the final sprint to win over voters, cash is pouring into campaigns. but who decides where the money is going? we are breaking it down here. and pennsylvania could make history and november.

we are going to catch up with austin davis, he is a democratic candidate who could become the first black lieutenant governor ever. and that battleground state. plus we are continuing our series on the by nine, and their efforts to get out the vote in midterm elections. today we have the international president, -- stacy grant is here. she will give us the details, i am simone sanders thompson. and i have something to say. that's what a 22 midterms are now just 31 days away. it is a busy weekend for candidates on the campaign trail. this final stretch, it cannot be more urgent y'all. early voting will be underway in more than 30 states by the end of this month. i'm talking arizona, ohio, georgia and the next ten days.

in some states, early voting has already begun. and in the crucial state of georgia, there is a senate race of course and republican ominous for senate, herschel walker continues to deny the daily beast report that he allegedly paid for his ex girlfriend's abortion in 2009. reporting that nbc news has not independently confirmed. how should his democratic opponent incumbent senator warnock we responded? speaking of abortion, the right to and women to make decisions about their own bodies, this is a major topic in at least three swings than the base that we saw this week. i am sensing a theme here. and these republican talking points folks. we will be discussing all of that and more, what the political panel in just a few minutes. but before we get into that, we need to have a conversation. we have to talk money. and a competitive election, money can make or break their race. it is likely the difference between a candidates masses reaching millions of potential voters are falling flat.

when it comes to each parties coordinated campaign strategy, many people tend to think of overall party committees, just like republican asheville committee. also known as the rnc. and the democratic national committee. or the dnc, it is so much more complicated than that. i want to break it down for you here, so when you have hundreds of races happening nationwide, as we do in november. it takes a lot of resources, a lot of coordination with each parties apparatus to make sure these individual elections at up to a big picture victory. mainly, party dominance at the federal and state levels. now campaigns get their friends from a variety of sources. but today, we will focus on federal party committees. not individual donors. these committees usually chaired by elected officials are tasked with making sure their party keeps or against a majority in the respected bodies. or ain the house of representat, there is democratic

congressional campaign committee. also known as the dccc. republican counterpart, the national republican congressional committee. in the senate, there is the democratic senatorial campaign committee. and the national republican senatorial committee. say that five times. when it comes to electing governors, and establishing a network of power across the state, executive branches well that lies with the democratic and republican governors association. there are similar committees focus on state legislators, secretaries of state and attorney generals. okay i get, it is a lot to take in. well i know you all had some questions about campaign money. and i have the answers. some of you even asked some questions on my twitter threats. and quoting this question. somebody who wants to know, who takes the lead in the midterms? when it comes to campaign cash folks, ran the each campaign is responsible for its own message. and for how it uses the funds, these committees will provide support. these committees rely on

support as well. you all have got a fund raising situation from the dnc right? for instance, the democratic national committee this cycle, from all of this fundraising they have been doing, they have dispersed more than six point $8 million to the democratic senatorial campaign committee. over 5 million to the dccc. that is money that filters down to candidates and competitive senate and house races. somebody also asked this. when things are not going well, who should shoulder the blame? the answer y'all is not as easy as you may think. it really depends on what you are mad at and who you are mad at. everything your candidate is messaging or on the wrong issues or is running ads when they should be running tv ads, sounds like a issue is with the campaign. but if you do not think your candidate is getting enough resources to finish in a strong competitive race, and actually may be worth erin york been cyst to one of these committees that we have been talking

about. only so much money to go around, committee leaders have to decide which races are worth investing in the most. the final question that i will answer today is this. do that committees ever coordinate with each other? this is a fantastic question. the answer again is complicated. historically, the federal party committees have not always been the best at working together. but that may be changing. seeing your staff at the dccc and the sec that tommy this week that the committees had never communicated the sufficiently before. and that they are working hard this cycle not to duplicate their efforts. so fox and other more questions that you have but we are going to get into some more later as we get closer and closer to election day. i hope today that i cleared some things up. not just on how the message has made but who pays for them meet in the first place. knowledge is power when it comes to making the most impactful political donations that you can but the biggest

donation that you can make and the biggest donation that you will make this november will always be your ballot. please get out and make sure that you vote. with that, it's time to bring in our political panel. jim dorman is, here he is a political and government affairs consultant. adam dormant strategies. daniel moody is also, here she is the host of the woke af podcast. and -- kadia doba is the political reporter and she is welcoming us here for the first time. thank you kadia for joining us. okay folks, danielle i just took people terribly deep dive into the inner workings of campaign cash. i thought it was important to do because it struck me that people do not understand who is giving what and where. so do you think that the democratic federal party committees, the dnc, d and c c, dccc that they are doing enough to support candidates and competitive races the cycle? and if you, could weigh on in which races you think it used a few more resources?

>> i mean first i love your tutorial simone. it is needed and it's needed and it's important. i think the reality is there needs to be more coordination and i think that for the first time, we are seeing that happen. the question is why don't we see it all the time? when you look at the dollar amounts that were distributed by the ds cc and from the dnc down to the dccc, you see it is not a lot of money and it cost a lot of money to run for office. why is that? because of the supreme court and how much money they have allowed to blow into our politics. and so i do think there needs to be more resources that are spread around, particularly in battleground states. the reality here too is that sometimes democrats continue to cede ground to republicans and say oh this seems like an unlikely race. well thanks team impossible until their actual possible. what i would like to see democrats do is take more risk than they have in the past. life we are looking at the north carolina race right now, that is neck and neck and that

has not gotten any of the national attention that lets a pennsylvania and georgia have gotten right? it's a black woman that is at the helm of that race. so we oftentimes see that one it is black candidates that are running, we don't see as much money or as much fanfare come in until the very last minute. i would like to see things like that change. >> i think that chuck schumer was listening in here in a couple of people this week. and his super pac actually dumped a little more dollar, a few more dollars into the race and north carolina. we are going to track these numbers and see if they end up adding up to a victory for cheri beasley. we are watching that. jim, it's not just the democrats okay? political is reporting that the national republican senatorial campaign committee again, republican entity whose job it is to help get folks elected to the senate, who are republicans. they are actually slashing its ad buy in new hampshire. and redirecting the funds the races in georgia, arizona, nevada.

i also think pennsylvania. what do you think that this signals in the final stretch, we are 31 days away. stretchit's been very crazy la. weeks first-ever taking money at arizona, now they're putting money back in. i think we nominated frankly the wrong candidate in new hampshire to be able to beat maggie hassan. i do think that if we are going back and forth the pennsylvania, i think there is a shot there. but it is crazy. these polls have been up and down, it is based on gas prices, abortion, the issues literally change from week to week. and so the strategist at these very communities are trying to decide where the best place to put it is. where they have the best shot. >> i mean, it's important for people out there to know the best place for the money could be different on monday than it is on thursday. these elections are changing by the day. elections also already here. in september folks, early

voting kicked off in minnesota, south dakota, virginia, wyoming, illinois, michigan. by the end of this month, early voting will be underway in 32 more states. i'm talking arizona, ohio, georgia, north carolina, and nevada. that's just a name a few. so i think people need to know that we will not start seeing results until election day. but what are you looking for during this early voting period that might signal which way the wind is blowing in some of these races? >> well we know places and like virginia have already started and it seems to be sort of a robust outcome so far. largely, about 70% was reported are people 55 years or older. which you know, kind of goes to show you that this is why there needs to be longer spurts of, longer time periods in which people can vote. because all the people, they want to avoid the lions. personally, i will be looking

for some of the redistricting that happened last year. it is going to kind of switch voting polling sites. and i think it is probably going to belittle confusing for certain people. i will be interested in seeing how cities or states address that and how quickly they address that. >> that's a ramp, when some people don't want to address. that some people like to call their voter suppression, we will be watching that. okay, l i cannot end the panel because we have to talk about the herschel walker situation. and this is continuing to evolve frankly daily. the daily beast and no-show a port earlier this week, the republican senate nominee in georgia, porsche walker paid for an ex girlfriends abortion in 2009. nbc news has not independently confirmed the reporting, or review the documents sided in that report. so now walker has insisted the reporting is a quote, flat out lie. the walker campaign has since

that time earlier this, week they have now provided texts between the woman and walker's wife dating back to may of 2022. we have reached out to walker's, wife did not return, request for comment. the new york times is saying that the woman told them that herschel walker tried and failed to convince her to have a second abortion. nbc news has not verified that either. y'all frankly the drama is too much for me. so i want to stick to the politics. here is what democratic nominee for and the current incumbent. senator raphael warnock told nbc news yesterday afternoon, about his opponent herschel walker. take a listen to this. . i think that we have seen some disturbing things. we have seen a disturbing pattern. and it raises real questions about who is actually ready to represent the people of georgia

in the united states senate. >>, now daniel, senator warnock has not waited too much into this tournament. i do think that that is why it's for him to stick to the issues. what are your thoughts on the way senator honig have responded? >> i think that he has responded in the right way by sticking to the issues and sticking to his brand, which is of a person who believes any woman's right to choose, a person who is honest, who actually adherence to the christian values that herschel walker says he believes in. except for the fact that he is denying women, he wants to deny women access to the same rights that he had, right, that he was afforded. and he wants to turn around and deny that to millions of women? how does not make sense? it is hypocrisy at its best, and shameful at its worst. >> i think we are going to get an opportunity to hear from the candidates on the same stage about this in less than a week because there is a debate on

october 14th between herschel walker and raphael warnock in georgia. jim, what do you think herschel walker should be prepared for when it comes to that debate, and what does he need to do on that debate stage, or do you think he needs to do anything, will it even matter? >> that is a great question, actually. does it matter? what trump has done in the past, you go all the way back to these issues, do they really matter to voters? it sounds like they are rallying around walker down there. i think that they have to because he cannot be taken off the ballot. but frankly, this is what happens when you don't then a candidate beforehand, and you let your single guy pick your candidate. this is why we are having trouble, all of the country, it is not just in georgia. listen, in georgia is a disaster. from my standpoint, i don't know if it is belgian double. maybe because georgia tends to be a bit more red than blue. and maybe if gas prices are high, then republican voters come out in droves. i don't know the answer to the

question right now, as i said earlier, things can change in four weeks. so what he needs to do is he needs to come out and look like a real candidate and not do this jumping all over the place like he has been over this issue. >> october 14th will be a day we will be watching. jim, daniel, katya, you guys are not going anywhere. you are sticking around. we have so much more to talk about. we will see you after this break. we are talking president biden 's huge move issuing pardons for thousands of people convicted of simple marijuana possession under federal law. we are going to get into what it really means, why it matters, and what states are going to do next. but first, our good friend richard louis is here with today's top news stories, hi richard. >> hi simone. good saturday to you a new setback is where we start with for vladimir putin. a massive explosion hitting a strategic rage like in russia, and crimea, which was formally controlled by ukraine. it knocked out a key military supply route for russia's military. ukraine officials call the attack a quote, sick burn.

the moment of birth, which is what the governor supports -- >> they want to impose legal abortion nation wide up until the moment of birth. that is way too radical. that is not what arizonans want. >> i think it is important for people out there listening that no woman who has ever had the privilege of being pregnant with a child would make the decision to randomly and the life of their baby at nine months. it is literally, it does not happen. okay, i am sensing a thing here, allowing state governments to make decisions about women's bodies and then say that democrats are extremists for supporting bodily autonomy. do you think voters are going to buy that? is this an effective argument? >> i think it is more affective than what they have been doing, because ultimately they have been doing nothing. but what i thought was particularly interesting was the rallying around, especially from masses, the rallying

around the support for an abortion ban. it was very unpopular in the senate when lindsey graham introduced it the other day. and actually, his fellow republicans shied away from responding to it, and secretly said that they would rather be talking about inflation, and rising gas prices. for him to go out on a limb like that, i thought it was a very -- talking to a specific base and a bit more controversial. i don't think it will play out in his favor because as we know, 60%, more than 60% of americans are in favor of just pro choice. >> i have said on more than a few panels, thinks that this is not the ground republicans should be trying to fight on. jim, am i right? you all would rather have inflation? n? >> 100%. >> 100%, okay.

i want to get to this conversation about president biden's announcement. his announcement that he is going to pardon federal, simple marijuana convictions. this is going to affect about 6500 folks nationwide, his announcement also directs the department of health and human services to take a look at the classification of marijuana, cannabis, how it is classified, do a report and make some kind of recommendation. the third thing his announcement did, he also directed governors to follow suit. he encouraged governors to say -- we can't direct them, but he did encourage governors to do the same on pardons. i want to play for you all when the president had to say about this. too many lives have been up ended because of our failed approach to marijuana. it's time that we right these wrongs. there are thousands of people are convicted for marijuana possession who may be denied employment, housing or educational opportunities that have results for a conviction. while white and black and brown people use marijuana at similar

rates, black and brown people are arrested prosecuted and convicted at disproportionately higher rates. >> that i, know the president and the intent how to use his executive power to secure what i'm calling tangible results. so much of student loan cancellation,, straightforward action that people can see. what is your response to this latest move? >> i think it's an incredible move by the biden administration. laura, you know the war on drugs right was a war on black and brown communities. a bit more black and brown people in jail than any other place. so we have to look at the repercussions of how that has affected communities now you know decades later. and what is always interesting to me simone, is that we have people that have died from the opioid crisis right? but when it was affecting white people, it was referred to as a crisis. one that needed intervention. but when it was affecting black and brown people, it was the war on drugs. so i think this is the biden administration trying to write

a very incredible wrong. that this country has waged against black and brown communities. and frankly, the individuals able to make billions of dollars off of marijuana sales now, better now legal in many states around this country, and why are black and brown people still saddled with sentences? why are they still serving -- >> yes, about 100 billion dollars this year as the projection. jim, i want to get your response of this because if you are every republican governor, in a swing state. is there any pressure this announcement puts on new? >> he has probably from the far-right it does. personally i support legalization. i think it's the way to go in this country. and i agree with a lot of what danielle just said. but yes i mean i think there will be some republican governors who followed by his lead. frankly they should. >> all right jim dormant and daniel moody. kadia thank you for coming. thank you all so much for

reviewing the case has repeatedly ruled against daca and similar programs. that's obama era program could and if there is not some kind of federal action. we >> want to make sure that all of the children that have been part of this country, no matter what of their paper situation or anything not with daca, it will help them stay and be a part of this community and pay the taxes and pay everything that this country needs. >> let's bring, in my legal panel to talk about this, elie mystal is a justice correspondent for the nation. and msnbc legal analyst melissa murray is here she's a professor of law at nyu and a former law clerk to judge sonia -- supreme court justice to be clear. melissa, want to start with you because the judge who ruled on illegality of daca and texas has said the obama administration illegally implemented the program. so one do you agree with that and to what options are available to the biden administration here?

>> this is a long running campaign that conservatives including conservative justices up and running against the whole idea of executive authority to administer policy changes through the administrative state. so chain and who is the judge hears argue that putting into place program like daca exceeds the presidents authority under article two. a lot of questions whether that is the case or, not it is worth noting that when there are republican president in office, the republicans seem to have a much more expansive understanding of article to power and the presidents authority under it. although they did for president obama president biden. this is going back to the supreme court. at some point it'll be the courts there time thinking about the daca program. >> all right administration what to do something here. elie, i want to get your thoughts on the presidents you, no new action. asking for reviewing the classification of cannabis. pardoning 6500 people convicted on federal judge in possession.

why do you think the impact is, disposition and the justice system across our country? >> what we are talking about here is leading by dooming. people i think are seeing, they're group of people who are in federal prison for marijuana possession, are actually quite small and on about 6500 people. that is because most of these prosecutions happened at the state level. so biden is doing is giving color for other state governors who want to reduce that clogging up of justice system in their states, to say hey. the president is doing this, i will do this to. and my, state i think we've already seen -- and illinois and taken the lead of president biden on this idea. people need to remember that when we talk about low level drug possession, we are talking about state level crimes. not federal crimes and so biden is at think in this situation. leading by doing. you see the state say they just roll back. you see the same thing with

daca, the difference with daca is that ultimately we need, congressional action that a congressional immigration reform bill to truly handle the situation. it's not the kind of thing ultimately, the president can do just with strokes of the pen. it's not really a state action issue. it is a state level issue, as a federal issue that needs to be handled by federal congress. >> nbc news has some reporting that next year, especially if there is a divided congress, that the white house is going to focus on pushing for an immigration bill, i think that conversation might have moved up a couple of months. i want to turn to everybody's favorite topic, i hope people feels a sarcasm there. donald trump. but i think this is important for people to know, though, because there is a new twist in the standoff that he is having with the justice department. sources are telling nbc news that the department of justice believes that donald trump still has documents that he took from the white house.

and a report in the rolling stone says that investigators have been asking witnesses about whether he stashed them at trump tower, or even his new jersey club. it is illegal to have any documents that belong to the federal government, period, full stop. it is very illegal if they are classified documents. melissa, do you think this changes anything for donald trump legally? >> what it really changes is the pressure on the department of justice to actually move forward in terms of the criminal investigation for very eating the various terms, which again, it doesn't matter whether any of these documents are classified, just simply having these documents when you are supposed to turn them over as part of the presidential transition is the crime itself. so i don't know if this exposes president trump more liability, i think we need to know more about the facts. i think the pressure is on the doj to think seriously about whether they should be more forceful and assertive moving forward with this investigation. >> elie, melissa, we could do this all day. thank you for coming, your

>> thank you for having me, it is great to be with you. i would say this is pennsylvania. the last presidential race was assigned by less than 1%. josh and i believe this gubernatorial race is going to be equally as close. and polls go up and down. the only poll that really matters is on november 8th, when pennsylvanians go to the polls and cast their ballot. and we are working every day to earn the votes of pennsylvanians all across our commonwealth, and leave no community behind, and techno community for granted. >> you know, you come from kids ports, pennsylvania i believe. that is an industrial city outside of pittsburgh, for folks who are not familiar with the state. and your running mate, josh shapiro, he comes from a suburb in pennsylvania. you running your own primary, part of a suburb in philadelphia. you ran in your own primary to win a spot on the ballot. i think it is safe to say that you bring support from rural voters at josh's shapiro does

not have. how do you bring balance to the ticket and potentially to your offices if you all are elected? >> yeah. i am really proud of the primary that we won, winning every county in the commonwealth of pennsylvania and getting more votes than any other democrat in a contested primary in pennsylvania. i believe josh shapiro and i create a great contrast. i bring real lived experience from a working class person. i believe that the people closest to the paint should be closest to the power. and i am the proud son of a union bus driver, and a hairdresser. and i have been a fighter in the state house of representatives for working class families. and i believe joshua pirro and i represent a balance geographical and diverse ticket that can lead pennsylvania into a more progressive future. >> let's talk about some of these issues, representative davis, and the same usa today university poll that i talked about earlier, the top five issues for voters in your state are the economy, abortion rights, gun control, education,

and corruption. it is in that order. i have spoken to a lot of folks in pennsylvania, i talked to local elected officials, specifically in philadelphia who sight issues with mold, asbestos, in school facilities specifically. violence in the schools. just the other day in philadelphia, five children were shot at a local high school, one murdered. how exactly will your plans particularly your plan around education and gun safety improve the lives of children in philadelphia's public schools, and schools across the state? >> yeah. well, first, every community in pennsylvania, every person deserves a community that is safe and free of gun violence. i got my start when i was 16 years old, and someone got shot on my block, and i decided to start -- in my community. first, we need to make sure that we are investing in funding our education system fairly here in the commonwealth. we also need to make sure that we get at the root causes of violence here in pennsylvania. making sure folks have every

child has access to quality education. but making sure that folks also have access to opportunity to get a good paying job, to live the american dream here in pennsylvania, to earn a livable wage. those are the things josh shapiro and i are talking about every day when we are out on the campaign trail. how we are going to help pennsylvanians deal with the rising cost of inflation, how we are going to make their lives better, and quite frankly how are we going to protect their fundamental lives and freedoms? we are running against the most extreme and dangerous gubernatorial candidate in the country. someone who wants to charge women with murder, who seek an abortion. the reality is, our fundamental rights and freedoms are on the line here in pennsylvania. and as goes pennsylvania, as goes a rest of the country in many ways, this election here in 2022 is going to lay the foundation for the 2024 election. and pennsylvania, our gubernatorial candidate appoints our secretary of state, and the governor has to certify our election here.

our gubernatorial opponent has already said that he will decertify election machines here in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, and we know where he wants to do that, particularly in black and brown communities. he will not to certify an election in which donald trump is not the winner. austin davis, you are the democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of pennsylvania. i will be remiss if i did not tell people out there, they're currently only four black lieutenant governors in the country serving right now. if elected he would be the face and we'll be watching this race so thank you so much for your time. >> thank you so much. >> coming up folks i will be joined here at the green table by the vine landed, or the international president of zeta five beta sorority. we will get the organization is driving home the message, the reproductive rights as the most important political issue in the upcoming issues. you stay with us. smoky capicola, genoa salami and pepperoni!
