imagine that, a whole state made up of suckers. vote no on 27. it's a terrible deal for california. good evening and welcome to we win. you lose. politicsnation. tonight's lead, crunch time. >> the midterms are just 30

days away. candidates are scrambling to make their final pictures to voters. as a country we are confronted with serious issues. including the volatile economy. war in the ukraine, weakening democratic institutions and a spiraling effects of climate change. and yet many republicans have narrow their focus to a few familiar and divisive topics. from sea to shining sea, gop hopefuls are digging into a very old bag of racially tinge tricks. to paint a picture of a country ravaged by out of control criminality. there is little evidence to support these claims and even last to connect the supposed crime waves to democratic candidates. this fall or discontent follows

a summer of overreach. many of the same republicans applauded a supreme court ruling. allowing states to outlaw abortion and then doubled down on it. by calling for a national ban. many americans are understandably outraged. to see a right, they cherished for half of a century. and in the blink of an eye and the true political crossed of the gop further arrogance and hypocrisy on the topic is just beginning to materialize. we have a lot to cover and the perfect guest to talk about it so let's get started. joining me now is new york congressman hakeem jeffries. chair of the democratic caucus. congressman, thank you for first of all for joining us. i want to go right to, it i would like to hear about the democratic message to voters in

a moment. but, first i want your thoughts on how republicans are framing this race. take a look at this, ad put out earlier this week by louisiana senator jon kennedy. >> look, if you had cops because of cops, the next time you get in trouble colic racket. i am john kennedy, i approve this message. >> now if senator kennedy cared about jackson is they, he would know the real problem is not crack again. a drug the right as associated with the black people since the 1980's. it is opioids, nearly half of all drug deaths in the state are caused by opioids. according to the latest data from the louisiana department of health. and these cases are not being driven solely by street crime.

74 opioid constrict, prescriptions are being written for every hundred people in the state. but none of those facts matter to senator kennedy do they congressman. 's >> they, don't get even and reverend. great to be with you, the democratic mission for america will be the continue to defend family, his freedom and the flag. it is quite unfortunate that the republican position right now is anchored in fear, fake news and fraudulent ideas. and then kennedy at is an example of trying to distract the voters because republicans over the last two years really have not articulated a single idea to address the challenges facing the american people. and at the same, time we have been getting big things done, from the american rescue plan in the infrastructure investment to the inflation adjustment act and other pieces of legislation are going to lower cost and create better paying jobs. allow for safe for communities.

more needs to be done, we are prepared to do that work. >> let's stay with the topic of drugs for a moment. this, week president biden announced that he would pardon thousands of americans convicted of marijuana possession at the federal level. as the head of the national action network, i applaud the move. but remain deeply concerned about the lack of justice on the state level. even in states that have legalized marijuana, there are thousands of people and many of them black and disproportionately black. who have had their lives ruined for nonviolent offenses related to the drug. which is why the president is doing it's important. very important. it's their role congress can play in addressing this. and how do democrats continue to make progress on the issue. in an environment when anything that they do will be used by republicans to accuse them of being soft on crime.

we can be smart on crime, that involves fixing the broken criminal justice system. entering that individuals can successfully re-enter society. use the natural god given skills and abilities. to become productive citizens. that's why applaud the action that has been taken by president biden. certainly there are steps that we can take in the house of representatives. in the house, the effort to try and make sure that we are reforming our marijuana laws across the country. enabling people to benefit from the legalization that state after state in america. that effort is being led by -- on the committee. along with other leaders like barbara lee and earl blumenauer and in the sentinel either schumer has legislation. pardon with cory booker and others that we hope might be taking up in the aftermath of the midterm election. building upon the work that

president biden has done. >> let's turn to efforts to hold the house. there is a feeling to some of that, democrats gain some positive momentum. after the supreme court overturned roe v. wade. as the election draws closer, races are tightening an illinois. democrats are now worried that they could end up losing a seat as the party continues to struggle and districts outside of major urban areas. what are you hearing as you talk to your fellow democrats across the country right now? >> well we have to make sure that the elector understand that this is not simply a referendum on the moment that we may find ourselves in. two of course as a whole host of challenges coming out of the covid-19 pandemic. but it's a choice between democrats who will continue to get big things done for every day americans. but people over politics and extreme maga republicans, they

are extreme and reproductive freedom. we supported that they want to criminalize abortion care. they are extreme on social security and medicare, it's an important part of the fabric of our society. and our view, republicans actually want to end social security and medicaid in five years. they have courts are extreme on the democracy. we believe in, that apparently many republicans do not. and, so when the electorate locks in on the stakes of this midterm election. we believe we have a strong chance to hold the house of representatives based on the power of our accomplishments and our ideas. >> let's finish on the big picture. before the election day, while them offered -- their message to voters. there is no doubt that they have won. we mentioned the imaginary crime wave, gop candidates are talking about all over the country. washington post analysis this week also found that over half

of republican candidates are 2020 election deniers. which we have to conclude is a feature and not a book and republican politics. something meant to fire up their political base. what is the message meant to fire up the democratic base at a time in this cycle. when enthusiasm in turnout is critical? >> everything that we care about is on the ballot. democracy itself is on the ballot. liberty and justice for all is on the ballot. reproductive freedom is certainly on the ballot. leaning into better paying jobs and economic opportunities and every single zip code is on the ballot. we cannot afford to turn the keys of the house of representatives or the senate over to these extreme maga republicans who are going to take our country backwards. thank, you as always congress.

from brooklyn new york, i might add. now to a local senate race with national implications, joining me now, democratic candidates for senate in wisconsin. mandela barnes, lieutenant governor barnes thank you for joining us tonight. and for weeks out for midterms, right now, you're at a very close race. to unseat wisconsin incumbent republican senator ron johnson. who has targeted you with a barrage of negative campaign ads. many of which fixate on crime and the estate. of course when it comes to certain types of crimes, like forcibly breaking into the u.s. capitol to overturn election results. the senator has been far less punitive when describing the insurrections. then there was this exchange and last night's debate between you and the senator. take a listen. >> whenever i see a police officer, i got them and say

thank you for your service. and if i have time, and i said please don't be the spirited by the log few who are trying to defund you. >> i am sure, he did not have the same interaction with 140 officers that were injured during the chain race -- when officer was stabbed with a metal stake. another crash between a revolving door. another hidden that with the fire extinguisher. we talk about respect for law enforcement, let's talk about the hundred and 40 officers that he left behind because of an insurrection that he supported. >> anything that you would like to add a day later lieutenant governor? >> well lastly, thank you so much for having me. and like you mentioned, there are certain things that that count is crime to him. he called those folks patriots. he said they were tourists, he made up every single excuse in the books. 90 starts to talk about cities like milwaukee, the only time he brings that milwaukee is to talk about in the majority sense. the reality is, he is pointing all of these fingers but is not lifted a single one to try to help us. i've experienced them, i was

personally and i've lost to many friends and i care to count. i mentioned that last night on the bay stage at the top of the crime came up. because it's deeply personal to me. it's why i got involved in a public service in the first place. people like ron johnson refused to do anything to deal with the carnage taking place with the city space all across this country. and with that being, said the opportunity to support public safety, law enforcement and crime permission initiatives will be the american rescue plan act. that would allow suit vest 100 million dollars in public safety. he voted against it because he wanted to play politics. what we are up against is something i've never seen before. the senators lying, they're trying to distract, he's blaming lee for sapphire nothing they do with. they are supporting millions, tens of millions of dollars into this race. false, misleading, negative advertisement. that's why i need help for folks to get over this hump. we have to raise enough money to keep our message they keep ron johnson accountable.

we haven't talked about a plan to rebuild the middle class, talk about the folks from johnson continues to lead behind. for the folks who are interested, go into barns are calm. learn more but we are doing to help support the efforts, we can get ron johnson. someone we tried to say they collected to the vice president. because they wanted to overturn an election because he did not like the result. a person who is so extreme and out of touch with the majority of people wisconsin when it comes to abortion access. -- abortion bans. he supported abortion bans that had no exception for rape or incest. is a person who will send our jobs out of state. and even out of the country, because that is what he says makes sense for the donors. >> he supported a different abortion bans, this week republican legislators in u.s. state blocked a voter referendum from getting on the ballot next month. whether to allow for abortion in cases of rape or incest. abortion had not been immediately banned in your

state. after 1849 law went into effect following the supreme courts reversal of roe and june. a recent poll shows that nearly two thirds of wisconsin voters are against the reversal of roe. that includes nearly one third of republicans. you have been hitting senator johnson hard on this issue of abortion rights. today, you kicked off your ron against road tour. you attended your rally hosted by planned parenthood in milwaukee. with this issue, will this issue i should ask, will it energize democratic voters and your state enough for democratic candidates? yourself included to succeed in 30 days? >> and this is beyond democratic. this is an issue about freedom, it's about personal rights that ron johnson cannot be, cannot be less concerned about. the reality is, he told people, he told women that if you know like the laws of your state,

you can just move and we have an 1849 criminal bush and ban on the books. is a person who is -- certainly not concerned about children when they get here. his what was that it's not his responsibility to take care of people's children in this country. i can't think of any other responsibility he has as policy makers then to nurture and invest in the future. ron johnson does not seem to get that. he is against making a child's tax covenant. something that would help out struggling families deal with rising costs. but that is no concern to him. not only were we talking about the issue of choice and the right to making your own health care decisions. return but everything else that comes along with it. economic opportunities, that ron johnson and consistently denying folks. we had a chance to create 1000 good paying union jobs, family are putting jobs in -- and he wanted to move his job to south carolina.

ron johnson response once we have enough jobs. if that is your think, it had expect people to be able to take care of children? how do you think people are supposed to people to support a family if you are denying them that opportunity? he is like a, said -- he said it makes sense. this is not of touch person and we deserve so much more in wisconsin. while we are talking about the polls in the state, i want to play another clip from last night's debate. >> i voted to confirm not to dispel any of president biden's electors. so from my standpoint, this is a non issue, but i know it's being blown up because of everyone wants to focus on january six. >> so first, to put this in context. senator johnson did eventually vote to certify the election, but this was only after he tried to hand vice president

pence a set of fake electors, a fact that was uncovered by the january six committee, that the senator later admitted to a local reporter. now the senator is saying this was an insignificant detail. what's your opinion? >> well, the significant detail here is that his plan to overturn election didn't work. so of course he packed up from it when he didn't get the receipt salty thought he was gonna get. the vice office rejected their attempt to overturn the election. it wasn't him having a change of heart. it was him feeling denied. he looked every single voter in the eye in the state and says your vote doesn't count. that's because the person he didn't want to win won the election. so instead of accepting the results, he decided that he would try to change the results. that's a person who cannot be trusted with our democracy, a person who can't be trusted with our health or safety.

>> finally, i'm out of time, but i have to ask you this quickly. i'm on radio in your state. how are you and your team working to give black voters concentrated largely in milwaukee to turn out next month? >> milwaukee is my home. we're talking about the district i represented as my legislator. we're talking about the community i spent my entire life in. it's always a good time going back home. we were just in my high, school at that rally that you showed footage from. we are showing up everywhere. we're showing up often. we're giving people a reason to vote. ron johnson being that isn't enough. we just kicked off a huge canvas today, knocking on several doors myself. we're going to maintain our presence, as we have from the very start. we kicked off the campaign right in the heart of the city of milwaukee if the cinema phoenix, which has a lot of significance when it comes to addressing the challenges we. face >> all right, mandela

barnes, lieutenant governor running for senator in the state of wisconsin, thank you. coming up, georgia senate candidate herschel walker fanned his spent the weekend in political hot water. i have a whole lot to say about the allegations against him in the republican parties standing by their man. you don't want to miss this week's gotcha. but first, my colleague richard louis with today's top news stories. richard? >> good afternoon to a new setback for vladimir putin. a massive explosion hit a bridge in linking russia and crimea formally controlled in ukraine. it locked knocked out a. , ukrainians called the attack sick burn. russian officials say there's no official timeline for repairing the 12 mile. bridgenorth korea launched another suspected ballistic missile today, and east, south korea and japan officials. there's launch marks the sixth round of weapons tests in two weeks. today's launch ledger pan

less than a month away. early voting in georgia starts in just nine days. it's the most critical point in the campaign. and yet, in the peach strait this week the headlines were dominated by a story published by the daily beast about an abortion allegedly paid for by republican senate candidate herschel walker. walker denies the allegation and nbc has not been able to verify the report. i do not agree with mr. walker's politics, but it gives

me to no special pleasure to see an accomplished fellow black man have his personal life become a matter of public debate. however, we must make no mistake about why this story is relevant. the problem isn't that mr. walker and his ex girlfriend allegedly made a difficult private decision. it's that he and other republicans are running on a platform that would deny everyone else the same choice. and just listen to how some of his fellow republicans have chosen to defend him. >> so, does this change anything? i mean, do you want my opinion? if you're listening? not a damn thing. so i don't care if herschel walker paid to abort endangered baby eagles. i want control of the senate. >> it's hard to see how talking points like these will help

herschel walker affair his reputation in the eyes of georgia voters. it's even more difficult to understand how they can appeal to anyone with sincere moral objections to abortion. what these type of comments do successfully highlight, in my view, is that republican values are often no more than political props. ron desantis votes to deny other states disastrous cisterns where he was in congress and rails against federal government all the time, then he eagerly demands his share of the cash when his own state is struck by a storm. former president donald trump ran an entire campaign blasting hillary clinton for her handling of a few classified emails, and then, according to the fbi, he stashed boxes of highly confidential materials at his mar-a-lago resort. the list goes on and on. in less than 30 days the hotly

contested georgia senate race will be decided. if herschel walker loses, some will say it was his personal life that's on his chances. but that's simply not true. republicans will have defeated themselves in what appears to be their shameless hypocrisy in pursuit of power. if a loss becomes about it is a lost the deeply deserve. i gotcha. ♪♪ it's subway's biggest refresh yet!

contributors. juanita, first to you. in five days the january six committee will hold its ninth public hearing, refocusing on donald trump's culpability in the capital riot and lay out how his efforts contributed to clear and present danger to the democratic institutions and the voting system. as the committee holds, what might be its last public hearing? how can this investigation help shape future elections? >> look, the first thing they need to do is what the and original mandate, was deliver the truth to the american public and they have not reneged on that mission. they have delivered every hearing they have so even though this was delayed by a week or so i am looking forward to hearing additional testimony they received since the last teasing. whether that's judged arms or others, from the trump administration.

i'm also looking for the footage from roger stone and his documentary as well as the documents they received from secret service that were not deleted. we know this is a -- when majority border say that this is a guiding principle lead into the ballot box. this should be clear, concise, and not only recap all the evidence they have, with the accountability they want to see because of that threat, that clear and present threat that this is presented from trump's action and other republicans and other officials who aided them. >> susan, right now a majority of gop candidates across the country are 2020 election divot deniers, which poses a serious threat for elections going forward. this week congresswoman liz cheney spoke out against election deniers in her state. she set a strong warning to arizona voters. but the republicans running for governor, keri lake and, secretary of state nominee mark frenchman, calling threats of

democracy. what can be done to curb these election conspiracies, or is it already too late? >> it's too late as fires picking the candidates go, but i think someone like liz cheney can frankly go further, put her money where her mouth is. she's got $7 million in her pack so she can go use it and we know from 2020 that there is a sliver of republicans, five to 10%, that are willing to say no to trump and his craziness and that we will be able to, they would be able to swing an election. the other part of that, though, ears pay attention to the governor's races. because the states say -- including pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, they have majorities in their state houses of republicans. those democrat governors need to be there to veto that legislation. >> susan, sticking with you, a

new reporting in the new york times, an article out today, is about how former president trump deflected demands for documents wanted by the national archives. the article says sources say, quote, trump floated the idea of offering the deal to return the boxes in exchange for documents he believed would expose the russia investigation as a quote hoax, cooked up by the fbi, end of quote. the times reports aids never acted on that idea. nbc news has not yet independently confirmed this new report, and is reaching out to the trump legal team for comment. what do you make of this report though, susan? >> it seems like he is guilty on both counts. it's easy to see, he thought he could be that transactional. it comes as no surprise, but he basically said, i will give you an on one crime if you give me the records that will cover up

the other crime, or the other wrongdoing. so only a person of donald trump thinks he could trade in classified information. let's be clear, that would also be illegal. >> juanita, hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants who were brought to this country as children now face more uncertainty. after federal appears court ruled that the deferred action for childhood arrivals, or daca, is unlawful. the court is letting current daca recipients stay in the u.s. while the obama era program goes back to a lower court in texas. president biden has called on congress to pass permanent protections for dreamers, including a pathway to citizenship. how much will this ruling heightened mistakes for this year's midterms? >> i think it's huge, especially when latino voters are going to the polls to make the decisions. let's be real, if republicans

take back control of congress, one chamber the other alone, the pathway to creating any type of legislation would help ease the exile either been experiencing for years related to their future in this country will be closed. that door will be closed, because you've got to believe that no republican in the house, no republican in the senate is going to be on board with creating any type of legislation that will positively help people who have immigrated to this country. i think this is of the democrats need to emphasize, especially in house and senate races, to make it clear where they stand on trying to deliver a pathway, a future for daca recipients and other undocumented individuals in this country. >> let me ask you both very quickly, give me your predictions. when eta, give me your point prediction on what would happen in the midterms, the senate, and the house. when the democrats maintain and grow? or will the republicans overtake? >> look, in the senate i feel like democrats have a narrow chance of keeping it, but they

have to play their cards straighter, specially in these races that we are seeing in georgia, pennsylvania, nevada. but in the house, sadly, thanks to redistricting and what republicans did there, i think it's a cold game. >> susan? >> yeah, i agree with one. either five seats for the republicans to pick up in the house is guaranteed as anything is in politics. i think we're looking at probably a 50 to 48 senate. i can't tell you which way it's going to go. >> all right. , susan del percio and when eta tolliver, thank you. after the break, hurricane survivors in desperate need federal help so they're having trouble figuring out how to get it. our next guest will try to cover up the confusion. cover up the confusion

it to at when acidotic, while, over 200,000 floridians had applied for assistance from the federal assistance emergency management agency fema. even though president biden issued an expedited disaster -- many reported delays in receiving aids, supply and shelter that is desperately needed. joining me now is marcus coleman, the director for the department of homeland security center for faith based and neighborhood partnership, which is part of the federal emergency management agency. thank you for joining me today, mr. coleman. let me ask you, while fema has been helping bring relief to thousands of people, some floridians have reportedly expressed frustration over the lack of assistance. residents particularly in south was florida cold inner times

that they were having trouble navigating the process of applying for federal disaster leave and have not seen much evidence of boots on the ground. what is your response? >> reverend sharpton, thank you for having me this afternoon. again, my prayers and continued thoughts are with those impacted by hurricane ian. my response is that it will simply take a whole community effort and a national coalition effort to make sure that we are getting better every day, and that we are meeting the needs of disaster survivors. we still want people to dial one 800, 6 to 1 through 62 -- for those that are able. they may find it more effective and efficient they go to disaster assistance.gov. for those able to register online, you can skip the time in terms of waiting online and register their. we recognize that is part of the government response. i was honored to be on the call yesterday with the president of

the national panel entered counsel and some of her to ship, as many of those members of the black fraternities and sororities are going neighborhood to neighborhood today, and we equipped them with information that they are sharing with disaster survivors. we all recognize with all the humility that this will be a long recovery, a hard recovery and the only way we will get to this is to working with the coalition partners. >> last week, vice president kamala harris was discussing disparities people of color generally face in extreme weather conditions. she said that, quote, we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, and of course. several studies have found that fema has a history of providing less aid to communities of color facing disaster relief compared with their white counterparts. what is fema going to do to ensure that communities of color affected by hurricane i

receiving advocate and at kabul relief? >> prior to level of hurricane in, since i have been in this position, we have made the conservative effort to engage a broad coalition of partners that represent the rural community and different communities. i know i mentioned some of the organizations last segment that we spoke, but it is a concern and focus of us that those national partners and those local partners are in communities, that we are equipping them proactively, prepare the recovery information. right now, we are going to continue to get ground troops from our local government counterparts and state government counterparts, but we also need to get troops for leaders in our community, so i think about some of the survivors, like someone i spoke to with ties to the river park neighborhood on thursday. we were able to connect with her and her sister to ensure that our disaster survivor assistance team members were able to get to those their hearts and those places, where

people have not felt like they have seen boots on the ground. another example, we're working with a pastor in the dunbar community in the fort myers neighborhood, and we actually have disaster survivor assistance members providing information as well. we know that trying to change the system is a long term effort and, again, it will take the coalition of partners that are focused on children, on rural communities and on those historically underserved populations, including black and african american communities and the hispanic and latino community to get through this process. >> starting today, the u.s. army corps of engineers passed by fema will provide temporary repairs for roofs damaged by hurricane ian in five counties of florida at zero cost, calling it a parisian blue roof. this program seeks to temporarily help homes from further damage before more permanent repairs are made. well you ask other organizations to step in to

help out and fasten the recovery? >> yes, and thankfully, they already have, there's also a non government program called crisis cleanup that is helping with debris removal of private properties. we have a whole coalition of partners did the national voluntarily organization disasters, groups like the rubicon, oppression hope led by john hope bryan, his organization provides free disaster, potential counseling to survivors, but then we also have, of course, world central kitchen and other organizations. it's gonna be that same coalition last week mentioned with the naacp, urban league and some other disaster relief partners to make sure that we are doing everything we can to meet the needs of survivors today at the weeks and months to come. >> marcus coleman of fema, again, thank you for being with us another week. coming up, countless americans will be getting their lives back, but is it enough?

i will explain in my final thoughts after a short break. ts after a short break i'm quite harmless, really. and when people ask, “but aren't you linked to dangerous flu complications, like pneumonia, heart attack, and hospitalizations?” i just say, “but, i'm just the flu.” it's him! who? i'm just the flu! fight the flu with sanofi flu vaccines, which help prevent flu in older adults. they've even been shown to provide better protection from flu-related complications compared to standard dose flu shots. don't get fluzone high-dose quadrivalent if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components, including egg products, or after previous dose of flu vaccine. don't get flublok quadrivalent if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components. tell your healthcare professional if you've had severe muscle weakness after a flu shot. people with weakened immune systems may have a lower vaccine response. this flu season, you do have a choice. choose the protection of a sanofi flu vaccine. ask your pharmacist or doctor

which sanofi flu vaccine is right for you. ever leave your clothes in the dryer and find a wrinkled mess? try downy wrinkle guard fabric softener! wrinkle guard penetrates deep into fibers, leaving clothes so soft, wrinkles don't want to stick around. make mornings smoother with downy wrinkle guard fabric softener. it's the subway series menu. 12 irresistible subs. the most epic sandwich roster ever created. ♪♪ it's subway's biggest refresh yet!

shingles. some describe it as an intense burning sensation or an unbearable itch. this painful, blistering rash can disrupt your life for weeks. it could make your workday feel impossible. the virus that causes shingles is likely already inside of you. if you're 50 years or older, ask your doctor or pharmacist about shingles. earlier this week, president

biden issued a decision to pardon prior federal simple weed convictions and set the stage for decriminalizing and the drug at a federal level. here is my take. the united states will never

just legalized marijuana until a reckons with the outdated policies that equated thousands of young black men with heart drug pushes. president biden's righteous action will give countless americans their lives back. they were thrown behind bars for years on and for simple position, and non violent offense for a substance that red states and blue states are now legalizing at a furious pace. this held back those individuals from jobs, from homes and the general dignity they now get back from this full pardon. the national action network has been pushing for these reforms nearly a decade ago, when it became clear that the conversation around legalization began to change. we will continue to monitor the legalization and hold the federal government to its word and looking forward. i echo the president's call on

governments to file suit and deliver the same justice at the state level. it cannot legalize marijuana at the state house until they rectify what went on at the jailhouse. now, i want to wish a happy birthday to a special person. today, the reverend jesse jackson turned 81 years old. for more than 55 years, he's been a dominant force for change worldwide and has made concrete change. he has been in my life a real mentor and romero. many of us would not be where we are headed not been for jesse lewis jackson. as he now deals with disease, he is still on the case, still fighting. i called him earlier this morning. we had a pair on the phone. he was already up at 6:00, working to give water down to mississippi, where people are still trying to deal with contaminated water.
