let's dive in! but what about your back? it's fineeeeeeee! ugh! advil dual action fights pain two ways. advil targets pain at the source, acetaminophen blocks pain signals. and ready, good to see you, i'm advil dual action.

yasmin. if you are joining us, welcome and if you are still with us, thank you for sticking around. we are following the latest developments in the wake of the bylaw tile assault on nancy

pelosi's has been. police saying the man was second for the speaker of the house, bringing back memories of these chants from january 6th. [inaudible] we are going to be looking at the rise and violent political rhetoric that is only grown since that day on january 6th. and later on this hour, i will be joined by senator sheldon whitehouse to talk about the increasing dangers that lawmakers are currently facing, especially ahead of midterm elections. and also this hour, the president casting his ballot and democratic heavyweights hitting that campaign trail just ten days out before the midterms. >> i have been reading up on some of these candidates on the

other side. lord have mercy. >> and as republicans hammer away at inflations, we are going to look at what economists are saying about the gop plan on the economy and what it would mean for americans. plus a group of artist pull off a surprise protest at one of the mold's most famous museums in an effort to support the woman of iran. that story is ahead, you don't want to miss that. we do want to start though with some breaking news out of south korea. officials there are saying at least 120 people have died following a crowd surge at a halloween festival in the capital city of seoul. and bc raf sanchez is joining us now with more on this story. ralph this is been really breaking in the last hour or so. the number has been increasing, it seems by the minute. and the detail just devastating. talk us through this, what do we know?

>> he has been, the scale of the horror here is almost unimaginable. as you said, 120 people are confirmed dead. another 100 are injured. dozens of those injured are in serious condition. they are in hospital. it is very possible that this death toll will rise in the coming hours. and yasmin, these are largely young people. this was a halloween festival, these are people in their twenties largely looking at the videos. so just an absolutely horrendous situation. here is what we, know south media is reporting that about 100,000 people showed up for this halloween festival in downtown seoul. part of the reason it was so popular, it's the first outdoor halloween party without a mask in south korea since the start of covid. the covid rules are very strict over there. this was a chance for one people show up and cost him without a mask, they flock to this area which has a lot of

the narrow alleyways. and what it looks like happened, people got caught up in the crush, in one of those alleyways. and we have scenes with stampedes, all around the world, as soon as people get underfoot, it is almost impossible to get back up again. and that is how we have reached a death toll, just an astronomically high as we have here. you can see from the video, the streets, the sidewalks are just covered with the bodies of the dead and the injured. there is this awful, rhythmic pumping as we watch the arms of these first aiders trying to administer cpr. yasmine, south korea media is reporting there are foreigners among the injured. we don't know the nationalities, we don't know if they are americans who got caught up in this but this is a downtown part of seoul. which is popular not only with south korean spot with ex pats, tours and with u.s. military personnel. there are 20,000 american

servicemen and women stationed in south korea. we will see over the coming hours if anybody was caught up in this. now, this incident happened at about 10:20 pm local time. now 4 am, about six hours ago. the initial reports said that something like 21 people were being treated for a cardiac arrest. but yes, when you look at the videos, it was clear is a much bigger incident than that. you started to be able to tell from the response from south korean authorities. this was a major incident, the south green president convening an emergency meeting. the mayor of seoul who is in europe right now, turning around and heading back to his city. and we've got the first report saying that 59 people were killed. and that just in the last hour or so, that death toll doubled in to 120 which is where we are at right now yasmin. >> just completely awful. and then you know, even more so

because it was the first time they could really get out and celebrate amidst all of the restrictions with this pandemic. and just a horrible tragedy now and then suing. ralph sanchez for us, we thank you for jumping on this for us. we will have more on this and that folks as we are continuing to following updates out of south korea. let's also get the new information that we have on this violent attack on nancy pelosi's husband. that he, exiting charges against the suspect could be announced on monday. expect attempted murder to be among them as the also says the man was clearly attempting to kill paul pelosi when he hit them with the hammer multiple times. the 82-year-old is currently recovering from surgery to repair a fracture and his skull and other serious injuries to his right arm and hand. the doctor saying a full recovery is in fact expected. nbc's got conan and ben collins are joining me now. let me just start with you on this, one as i just mentioned, the possible announcement of these charges right on monday.

we are being told that by the da. why do we know here about possible charges and a possible motive here as we learn more? >> well, the picture is kind of slowly coming together yasmin. police say the suspect's 42 year old, david depape. from here in the bay area, we know he has led fair to say in unusual life. born in british columbia, move to hawaii and ultimately across san francisco bay and berkeley. where a 2013 san francisco chronicle article described him as a hemp jewelry maker who had taken up with some new it is an activist. and later years, he began blocking and social media posting. trafficking in kind of a greatest hits of conspiracy theories. from qanon, covid vaccines being a conspiracy. screens against blacks, jews, gays. he has booked in the san francisco county jail after being hospital for a time after

this attack. on a raft of charges and expect to be filed formally and potentially on monday but we are looking at attempted homicide. assault with a deadly weapon, not a firearm. elder abuse and several other charges. police are not talking about what his motive was specifically for this attack. and you say it is clear, he was targeting the pelosi home. targeting the pelosi home. ben collins, so we heard a little bit from scott kind of on his social media footprint right? some of these extremist views are beginning to learn more and more about as we learn new details here. what have you learned as we are digging more into the things and which he believed and what might have led him to attack the pelosi home? >> yes, that log is basically an exactly pita of the most recent conspiracy theories on the far right. like you said qanon has the

idea that covid-19 is not real. racial slurs are everywhere and some of these post. mostly focus on this idea that big tech censorship there's a lot of from saying stuff. but trust me, he said everything that he wanted to say. a couple of months ago when he had this massive screen in august on his blog. you know, the pipeline here seems pretty straightforward. it's a guy was obsessed with the idea, a couple of salt running the world. most people believe in this thing nancy pelosi is somewhere near the top of it. so this is a og, far-right conspiracy theorist. at least that is what the block shows. >> how are folks and kind of the right wind block a sphere, how are they reacting to this? what are they saying? >> well, they egg these things on. they said that deserve to be hanged or killed. when it actually happens, they say it's a false play or not real. or that since he has perfectly

from california, he had to be a member of antifa or a leftist. it is not the, case that pretty standard pipeline from the natural health communities of california and to the far-right belief. and that they run the world, usually comes from physical health stuff. like gmos and things like that. like earnest belief that the food is giving you a disease. sometimes, more and much larger idea but there is a cabal running the world. you know, these far-right bases thaw will never take credit for anything like this because it's how it operates. they constantly agitate for violence against these clears on the left. and then when it happens, they say cannot possibly be them because they want community from the words that agitate these things. >> it is real identity if you think about, it as to what we have become and i'm wondering

kind of ahead of the midterm elections, ahead of the possibility of even more threats. now a real attack on nancy pelosi's husband. are we ready for what may be to come? >> i, mean we are already in a yasmin. we've had the fbi attack from a guy who stormed the capitol on january six. this guy who is you know in nancy pelosi's house a few days ago. he was yelling the same thing people yelled in the capitol on january 6th. these organizations only got bigger, the proud boys got bigger recently. in part because of this anti-trans panic all throughout the united states. they have been going to school board meetings and trying to intimidate local, very normal parents. very regular people throughout this country into stopping the way that they believe stuff in public. we are in the middle of something. we are not, we are not at the beginning of something. we are certainly not the end of it >> yes, ben collins.

we thank you for being on top of this. trolling all of the sites that you do, and of course it is very discerning sometimes to be seeing some of the stuff. we thank you for it and reporting on this always. by the, way coming up later on this hour, democratic senator sheldon whitehouse will join me to talk more about this. his reaction of course and some of the concerns ahead of the midterm elections. really the current rise and political violence. get into all of that and more and that conversation. all right, we heard from him in the last hour. former president, barack obama mentioning the attack on paul pelosi during his remarks that wrapped up moments ago in the detroit michigan. he is now heading to his next campaign stop in wisconsin. and bc shaq brewster is in milwaukee, also joined by nbc senior politics reporter jonathan allen as well. taking a listen to the former president speaking in the last hour and can talk us with the democratic strategy here. shaq, talk to us because we just heard from obama on the trail and the troye.

he had all of the best hits right? it was economy, it was okay republicans are talking about crime, let me tell you why there's increasing crime and when it actually got started. he talked about abortion in the state of michigan. saying if republicans get in charge across the board, they will try and have a national ban on abortion in this country. and then he talked about as i mentioned, paul pelosi. the attack on paul pelosi and really the threat to this country's democracy. talk to me about what you've been hearing on the ground here in wisconsin ahead of the former presidents visit? >> right, we are at all of the policy issues on the former president tried to refrain many of the issues. we also saw that jokes and we saw him laughing, you saw him dancing on stage and engaging with the crowd and that is part of the reason why we are seeing former president obama traveled the country back on midterm election trail. i spoke to governor tony abrams who is in a tight battle for reelection here in the state of wisconsin earlier this week. and i asked, and what do you

want to get from the visit from the former president? he said, i want him to energize people. i want to turn people out. this is the first weekend of early voting here in wisconsin. they want to see that engagement, yes on the issues but also just getting people excited and focused on this election, especially an area like milwaukee, wisconsin. i want to listen to a little bit of what we heard from the former president, yes there were jokes on the issues. but then you go to reflect a little bit on the civility that has changed and shifted in our politics since he was in office. listen here. >> i get why people are anxious. i understand why people are anxious. i understand why you might be worried about the course of the country. i understand why sometimes it's tempting just to know. watch football and watch dancing with the stars. but i'm here to tell you that tonight is not an option.

moping is not an option. >> he says that tuning out is not an option. and that is the message that we are not just hearing in detroit, michigan, he was now. we are not just gonna hear here in milwaukee, wisconsin. but we heard that last night as he was speaking in georgia. you see him take a two step approach in these speeches. one, trying to tenderize voters and get them out. but also playing the attack dog, talking about some of those republican candidates and the republican messaging directly, and hitting that directly in a way that some of the candidates on the campaign trail haven't as directly. so you are seeing the former president seemingly enjoy his return to the campaign trail. but also, trying to up the seriousness and people focused on the election just about ten days away. >> a couple of moments it seemed like he really enjoyed, one, trying to have that conversation with the heckler in the crowd, a processor, whatever you want to call him. kind of shutting him down. he was trying to converse him, actually. over the years from the crowd.

and of course, the former president, classic to him, loved being called find by a woman behind him. [laughs] which was quite a moment to watch throughout that speech. a real rollercoaster ride of emotions. jonathan allen, let's bring you here into the conversation. because, you know, if the goal was to get voters energized, right, to get folks that are watching energized to vote, that was the sandwich bread to the meat. right? because that is what he tried to ultimately drive home, if you're worried about is happening, if you are scared, if you are confused, if you want someone to fight for, you have got to get out and vote. and he really is the ultimate messenger for the democratic party in getting that done. >> absolutely. you don't need a focus group or a dial test to look at barack obama and compare him to, say, any other democrat in america in terms of his ability to energize and unify democrats. that speech was very different than joe biden's speech, for

example. that unity among democrats is important. one of the things they are gonna be doing at the polls is having their moderates, their progressives, the ones who don't often vote in midterms all show up to the polls. so that is really what he is effective at. because he is not in office right now, he is not as alienating, i think, to independents and moderate republicans. in fact, some of them may wish back for the days of his presidency after the last five or six years. so, you know, he is not harming the democratic candidates, and he is getting that unity together. i found his message about moping was interesting. i guess you might call it the audacity of moped, he wants people not to do that. >> yeah, it's also interesting because we talk about the issue of fighting for our democracy as being kind of the top three, four issues that voters have on their mind. but if you really think about, it right, and you are thinking about what happened with paul pelosi. -- ben collins, how scary this is

being set online and what we are in the middle of, really, within this country. without democracy, the economy won't matter, right? inflation won't matter. none of these things are actually gonna matter without democracy in this country. >> yeah, i think we have seen a real divide, i believe, that, you know, not most of the republicans, but certainly several of the republican leaders yesterday. you know, they made sure to put out statements, tweet things out, you know, to basically say that violence is not acceptable. but a lot of them were silent. we saw glenn youngkin, the governor of virginia, republican governor of virginia, you, know sort of have a throwaway line, that violence is not acceptable. but he said he wanted to send and see pelosi back home to be with her husband. there is the level of, you know, the level of bozo jack donkey-ness that the people who are condoning this are possibly

condoning. it's not just the people who are pouring gasoline on the fire, they are certainly playing that up. but in addition to that, those people play standing by silently are making light of it. >> jonathan allen bringing us the halloween decor which we much appreciate during these times, putting a smile on all our faces. thank you for that. shaq wrister, thank you as always my friend, good to see you. still ahead everybody, how lawmakers on capitol hill are responding to the attack on nancy pelosi's husband as jonathan on their mentioned. also, protests over the death of iran's -- have made it to one of america's most well-known art museums. i'm gonna talk to an iranian female filmmaker on the calls for change. but up first, we are live from the campaign trail in ohio. we will be right back. right back.

everybody. let's go back to the midterms and the campaign trail. we start on ohio, and the race to replace retiring senator rob portman up today, republican nominee j.d. vance is campaigning with portman. and governor mike dewine in cincinnati area. the trump backed candidate is facing democratic representative tim ryan, ohio will be a much watched they don't election night. joining us now from columbus is nbc's jesse crist, jessie, it's good to see. you so, look governor dewine, it appears, is heading for reelection.

but the senate race is a lot different. right? you've got vance, ryan, a lot closer. talk us through that. >> yeah, obviously mike dewine is in incumbent governor here in -- trending more and more red. so that is not surprising. but the question then becomes, why does it look like j.d. vance might not be keeping pace with him? there is a couple of things that could be responsible for that, yasmin. first of all, tim ryan, the democrat, is running a campaign but to get a message that he is hoping, clearly, will appeal to people who are moderate republicans. who are not looking at party, who are just focused on issues like jobs and workers rights. that is something that he has style his campaign around. and we actually met a woman today who says he is involved with her county republican party, and their recent have been getting phone calls from some people asking about this tim ryan. and have to clarify that he is not a republican candidate. so there is a question of if some people are seeing ryan's message and maybe sticking around. another thing that might be drawing people away from j.d. vance is the fact that he is

tied closely with former president trump and whether people are tired of trump for his rhetoric, for his style, or for his claims around the 2020 election. as lies about that election being stolen from him. that may be something that is turning people off from a republican candidate that they may have otherwise supported. and that is something that i asked governor dewine about earlier, because he for his part has said that joe biden was the lawfully elected president of the united states, and i said the election denialism is dangerous. here's what he said today. >> how do you reconcile your belief, and you have, said that election denial is dangerous for this country, how do you reconcile that with supporting someone who has said the 2020 election was stolen from donald trump. >> look, i think j.d. vance is going to be a very good united states senator. you know, i think he has the background, he is going to be very articulate and advocating for ohio. so i am very excited about his race.

and he is going to be a good united states senator. >> are you worried that that puts a bad taste in some republican voters mouth? >> look, look, people are voting for j.d. vance if he is gonna win because people think that he is going to be a united states senator. people look to the future. one thing i have learned in politics all of these years is that, you know, what happens in the past is interesting for people, but they look to the future. they want to see who is gonna be their representatives, fighting for them. >> and that is part of what we are seeing in the republican party right now. yasmin, you said, it we will be watching this race closely in the final stretch but up to election night. ryan and vance will both be participating in a town hall here in columbus on tuesday night. yasmin? >> gotta say though, jesse, is indicative, right, that the wind didn't directly answer your question and kind of danced around it a bit, especially when it came to election denialism and the

connection to j.d. vance. thank you for sharing that with us, jessie, as always, we appreciated. coming up everybody, the attack on the husband of nancy pelosi is turning along a lot of strong feelings on capitol hill about the safety of lawmakers. up next, i am in a talk to senator sheldon whitehouse about that. also, we are gonna be talking about his new book where he explains how the right-wing captured the supreme court we. we'll be right back. k. are you tired of clean clothes that just don't smell clean? downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters keep your laundry smelling fresh waaaay longer than detergent alone. if you want laundry to smell fresh for weeks, make sure you have downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters.

the message that former president obama issued, you know, in the last hour on the campaign trail in michigan really echoes what we have been hearing from the vast majority of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle here on capitol hill. both yesterday and today. they are using this tragedy, this attack on house speaker nancy pelosi's husband as an opportunity to explain why it is so important to have free and fair elections. a peaceful transition of presidential power. they are offering their well wishes, their support for the pelosi family. but they are also using this as an opportunity to shine light on this very concerning and worsening problem, which is this rising uptick in the number of violent threats against lawmakers. something that we have been seeing for over four years now. but that has gotten so much worse in this hyper politicized time, post january 6th. we know those numbers have more than triple adjust in the last four years. and i want you to listen to

some reaction we actually heard from congresswoman debbie dingell and ilhan omar in reaction to this rising threats against them. >> this anger is a fundamental, a real and present danger to our democracy. and we have got to stand up. simply, you can't keep 435 members and 100 and senators and school board members and mayors and city council people safe if somebody wants to get them. it has got to come to within the community. >> a lot of my family and friends have been sending me text messages saying that i hope you are boosting up security. there are not enough resources for me to be able to do that. >> those resources omar is referring to revealed through this independent investigation where we found out that the capitol police in the aftermath of january 6th is not only understaffed, is also underfunded. so you can imagine the pressure

that capitol police officers are feeling as they protect congressional leadership, their families. but they also feel this pressure to protect so many other lawmakers receiving threats, especially as they begin to travel even more. crisscrossing the country campaigning across the midterms, yasmin. >> aly rafael for us, ali, thank, you we appreciate. want to bring in a row that democrats and senator sheldon whitehouse. senator, thank you for joining us on this. we appreciate it. >> good to be with you. >> let's talk first about this attack on speaker pelosi's husband, paul pelosi in the early hours yesterday morning. we know that he is going to have, now, doctors say he's gonna have a full recovery. but nonetheless, incredibly troubling at it to all talk place. you see those numbers, the threats that lawmakers are receiving now, almost tripling in the last four years or so. what do you make of it in the rising violence and rhetoric that we are seeing? >> we'll just start with what a

bad criminal act this was. a home invasion at 2:30 in the morning to batter an 82 year old man with a hammer and cracked his skull, before you even get to the political motivation of it, you have a really horrendous crime. and the fact that this appears to have been spun up by right-wing propaganda makes even more dangerous. i hope it gives the people behind the right-wing propaganda a moments pause about the wisdom of cranking so much of that into our ecosystem. >> senator, while i have you, i do want to talk about a couple of different things here. first, i watched what the midterms. then, of course, we want to mention your new book. let's talk midterms for a moment if we can. rhode island, right, second congressional district. democrats have held that seat since, i believe, 1991. you were quoted in politico talking about this.

it could go either way at this point. at the end of the day, if we are at all of affected at -- the difference between a mayor and a member of congress, we make the connection with voters. and we win this seat. what does this race specifically say about the prospects for democrats just ten days out from the midterms? and the real possibility that dems could lose control of the senate? >> well i don't know how much of a global message you can extract from this one particular race, which has a lot of very unique rhode island qualities to it. but i do think the road islanders are beginning to understand that if we let this seat go to the republicans, and the republican then votes for speaker mccarthy which we know he will. and that helps tip the house under maga control. that would be horrible for rhode island. and so the important thing for us to do is to keep emphasizing

that message of the real consequences. i was taping something on the rhode island shore just yesterday for our candidate, south -- to remind people that the republican party is bought and paid for by the fossil fuel industry. and if you are worried about sea level rise and homes and businesses in the economy along our shores, you cannot afford to send somebody who is going to group up with the deniers and the climate hoax people from the fossil fuel industry, and control the republicans in congress. we will kill any prospect for the climate legislation that we need. so it is issues like that that need to be brought home to the rhode island voters. and then i think we win this race. >> senator, let's talk about your book. we have about 90 seconds left. the title, the scheme, how the right-wing used dark money to capture the supreme court. let me read a snippet of this book for folks to get really a sense of what you are talking about here.

as i watched the senate rules and norm spent and broken in the rush to appoint judges, and especially to rig the supreme court. i realized that the supreme court was not just a target of the scheme, it was enabling the scheme. there was a feedback loop between the scheme and the court, you go on. my heart sank to realize that the if the right-wing corporate oligarchs succeeded in capturing the court, the results could forever damage our american republicans integrity and its principle of majority rule. they weren't just in to win cases. they were out to change america. fascinating stuff here, senator. talk, if you can, about kind of this use of dark money in getting the supreme court to where it is now? >> well, when i try to help people understand in this book is that this is not a conservative court. this is a captive court. it captured court in the same way that back in the 19th century, the railroad byron's would've captured a railroad

commission to set the rates exactly the way they wanted it. this is a work of decades, it is a work of hundreds of millions of dollars. and it is a work that is very ambitious in terms of trying to reshape america. we have just seen the dobbs decision take away an established right that belonged to women across america for half a century. and that is only a small piece of what they are trying to accomplish. >> again, the book is called the scheme, how the right-wing used dark money to capture the supreme court, senator sheldon whitehouse of rhode island, thank you, sir, appreciate it. >> thank you. >> all right, up next everybody, the woman of iran get support across the globe, including a surprise action one of the world's most famous museums. i'm gonna talk about how artists are keeping the pressure up with an iranian filmmaker, that's coming up next. this is art inspired by real stories of bipolar depression. i just couldn't find my way out of it. the lows of bipolar depression

can take you to a dark place. latuda could make a real difference in your symptoms. latuda was proven to significantly reduce bipolar depression symptoms. and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight. this is where i want to be. call your doctor about sudden behavior changes or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report fever, confusion, stiff or uncontrollable muscle movements, which may be life threatening or permanent. these aren't all the serious side effects. now i'm back where i belong. ask your doctor if latuda is right for you. pay as little as zero dollars for your first prescription.

everybody. today is the first day of early voting in new york and new jersey. and for many democrats, the race for governor in new york between kathy -- and republican challenger legal, and it's too close for comfort. joining me now from new york is nbc's lindsey reiser. lindsey, good to talk to you. so zeldin has really been gaining on governor hochul, and i think a lot of new yorkers are surprised. this sedate has had rhoden governors before. that being said, i think the climate to which we are now in in this country certainly has a lot of folks on edge. what are we seeing, what are we hearing from folks like that? >> yeah, yasmin, you mentioned it. they've had a republican leadership before. it has been 20 years since there has been a republican governor here in this typically democratic stronghold, the fact that there are several competitive races is certainly interesting to note. ogle has been governor for more than a year, we know that that gap between the two of them, between hochul and zeldin has really been tightening lately.

this weekend during the debate, hochul try to tie zeldin as close as she could to trump. calling her an election denier. salt and has really been focusing on crime, talking about unprovoked attacks, for example, on the subway. we talked to some voters about the governor's race. what was driving them to the polls. what was driving them to the polls early, let's listen to what they told me. >> i think crime, inflation, economy, those are gonna be issues for members -- whoever is governing right now. i think the place where we could actually make a choice and a change is through productive rates. you know, the economy is not just the governor of new york. but, we can make that choice about reproductive rights. it really does sometimes come down to the governor of new york. people who are in power right now. so i think that is the most important focus on. >> i think my main issue is crime in the city. it is actually frightening. i will say that i am a registered democrat. i did not vote democrat for

governor this time around. >> so some different issues that are driving people to the polls, yasmin. other close races that we are watching right now, john patrick maloney is seen, he is the chair of the dccc. he is in charge of making sure democrats keep the house. his seat is now competitive. it is a new district because of redistricting he is having to introduce himself to a lot of constituents, he also came out of his primary pretty bruised. we know the first lady is in new york stopping for him this weekend. also, there is a district in new jersey, tom malinowski is the incumbent there. because of redistricting, as well, that is now a republican 's favor. he has got a close challenge there. so, definitely interesting that there are several races that are competitive here in new york and new jersey. especially because if the democratic party is spending money doing advise here, they are not able to do those advising other competitive swing districts, yasmin. >> yeah, that is a really good. point lindsey reiser for us, as always, great to see you, my

but those protests shown no sign of letting. up in fact, our growing stronger. i spoke with a woman in iran known as noisy, we will not use her real name to protect her safety. this is what she had to say to me. >> this is basically everything the regime swept under the rug hoping it would go away. but this time it is different. all the rage that was bottled up through the years it's now erupting. >> meanwhile, here at, home protesters took over the guggenheim museum in new york last weekend, dripping red banners with pictures of amini and the weird woman, life, freedom, they've become a rallying cry. activists call the anonymous artist collective has taken credit for the demonstration. but authorities have not confirmed that. joining us now is ana -- amanpour. director, perhaps known for the 2014 iranian horror film a girl walks home alone at night. anna, thank you so much for

joining us on this, we appreciate it. talk about how important it is to stage these types of protests through art. especially here in the west, as so many people are being killed, fighting for their rights in iran right now. as we are watching the images spill out of that country. >> yeah, that was a wonderful moment, i actually didn't have any direct connection to what the guggenheim did, but any thing. you saw they took over times square, you saw last night that cole played, chris martin and -- seeing a song sharing song in solidarity with iran. roger waters from the beginning of the protest has been vocal about it. staying said something about it, harry styles has had something about it. you know, for me, as an artist living in the west, it really means a lot to me when people with a platform, artists with an audience, anybody, anybody who has this ability and exposure understands what is

happening and the importance of talking about it. because what i really want to see is a more unified and loud condemnation, in solidarity, coming from the free world. coming from the governments of the free world. that is what i think everybody is hoping to see more and more, because that supports the protesters. and they are not backing down. >> it is interesting. we have seen trickling coming over the government, right? folks kind of condemning, government officials, the state government for example, u.s. secretary of state condemning what is happening on the iran, streets of, iran as more videos are trickling out of there. it is hard to know what is actually going on with the shutdown of the internet. but the people seem really engaged. i spoke to a protester on the ground there. he said, after all is said and done, no matter what happens in the future in iran, it will never be the same. right? >> correct. >> they can never go back, she told me. >> no. no, i feel like this is, for me,

it is, like, as an iranian american living here, you know, we have seen protests happen before. it has always been around a stickler president or a political movement, or gas prices. these kind of political issues. this is different. when an entire generation of women who have been systemically abused by a regime that, i mean, it is barbaric with regards to how they oppress and suppress and violate women. for decades of this. this is a breaking point. and women are willing to stand up in front of guns to say that we have had enough, that's different. they are not doing this to talk about reform or for a political leader. this is a cry for freedom and saying that it will not be tolerated. that our future is going to be different. i think they have succeeded into things. one, they have exposed this regime. they have exposed this barbarism. the world can never look at

that regime the same. and they have exposed themselves. they are showing us the real women of iran. the real man of iran. they are showing us some real country. this is iran. this energy you are seeing in the streets. and they want the autonomy that anybody has in the free world. >> ana lily amirpour, we appreciate you joining us this hour. thank you so much, and for the messages that you are putting out there amidst all that we are seeing coming out of iran, thank you. that is it for me this hour, i'll be back in the shower tomorrow at 2 pm eastern, simone starts right now. greetings, you are watching simone, it is a big weekend on the campaign trail, y'all. although where 20 million people have already cast their ballots, the candidates are pulling out all the stops in these
