2:01 pm
politicsnation. tonight's lead, scare tactics. right now, the nation has a very good reason to be afraid. be very afraid. and no, it's not because tomorrow night's halloween. no. but nine days left to go before a pivotal midterm election. early voting underway in 32 states. more than 21 million votes are already cast. several key states, several key races that will determine our countries future are in peril of going to deeply flawed candidates, pushing lies that won't die. it sounds like a horror movie but it's actually worse.
2:02 pm
but at least, with a horror movie, it ends. the lights come on. most of us know that the spooky story is not real. but for an election observer or an election worker, or even a voter questioning their physical safety in a climate of violent voter intimidation, this is no movie. for democrats desperately trying to hold on to statewide office in races that keep tightening, this is no movie either. president joe biden or vice president kamala harris are on the mid term campaign tonight. neither one of them, former president barack about the no doubt resting after a whirlwind 24 hour stretch of rallies this weekend, stopping for democrats facing tight races in georgia and michigan and wisconsin. >> i've been reading up on some
2:03 pm
of these candidates on the other side. lord have mercy! [laughs] this current crop of republican politicians, they are not interested in solving problems. they are interested in making you angry. and then finding somebody to blame. they are hoping that will distract from the fact that they don't have any answers of their own. >> obama travels to nevada tuesday to stop or incumbent -- catherine cortez masto in her uphill battle to stay in office. one of the many races giving democrats cold sweats right now. and of course, another unexpected we close contest is the new york governor's race between democratic incumbent kathy hochul and republican congressman louis zeldin. first lady jill biden is slated to speak in just a few moments
2:04 pm
at a campaign events for governor hochul. that's where we start tonight. joining me now is new york governor kathy hochul, a democrat running for reelection. a governor, thanks for joining us tonight. we are nine days out from reelection across, we will get to your race for reelection. first, i must ask you, speaker nancy pelosi issued a statement responding of her speaking on the home invasion and attack on her husband, paul, at their home, on friday. mr. pelosi is recovering as we speak after surgery for a fractured skull, according to a spokesperson. we don't know yet exactly what the motive was for the attack. police have said they believe it was an intentional act. the speaker's statement to congress today reading in part, our children, our grandchildren and i are heartbroken in
2:05 pm
traumatized by the life-threatening attack on our pop. what is your reaction to what we have seen unfold over the last few days? i know you've observed real concern over political violence. in fact, your opponent was attacked at a rally during the summer. you immediately attacked that -- governor, the attack has not been addressed by donald trump. i don't know if your opponent has. what is your reaction to this attack? >> well, reverend al, thank you for allowing me to speak on the show again. such a pivotal time in our nation's history. i share speaker pelosi's abhorrence at this form of violence. it is not only heartbreaking. it is sickening. we have to have our leaders, even our former president, to call it out because he's responsible for igniting the
2:06 pm
flames that have been going on since 2016, even though he's running in 2015. it allowed hatred to spew over into public access. one thing about sitting alone in your basement and having thoughts toward a politician you don't support. but my god, now that it manifest itself in physical violence against the speakers has been, we have gone too far as a society. we have to stand up and shame everybody who has a part in this. >> the governor, early voting began yesterday here in new york. the most recent cinema college poll shows you still leading in your reelection race against republican congressman lee zeldin. the distance between you and you -- has shrunk in a last month, now at 52% to 41% respectively. the recent poll shows you at 50% compared to 46% for zeldin, putting the race within the margin of error.
2:07 pm
i know you have -- event immediately after you leave us. first lady jill biden will deliver remarks. i don't have to tell you that some observers are surprised that your opponent, and election denying trump supporter, one that has voted against most of the issues in new york, whether it's women, whether racial issues like voting rights, all of that, he has not voted for in congress. why is he doing so well in a state that joe biden carried resoundingly in 2020? how do you interpret how this race has tightened? what is the strategy with over a week left to go? >> reverend al, we have the strategy. it's when democrats vote, we win. there are plenty of democrats in the state. i've been the governor over a year. you will know the circumstance of how i ascended to this position. since the beginning, i've announced they are fighting to
2:08 pm
make sure we that we have a budget that response to the needs of new yorkers, fighting gun violence, calling out election deniers. here i am running against someone that has donald -- trump has called one of his staunchest, most loyal defenders. you know what's shocking? we'll talk about how lethal devoted to not certify joe biden's election. even in november, when election results were not settled, he was text messaging the chief of staff to give him strategy on how to create the big lie. he's been part of this narrative. he doesn't think the rules apply to him. right now, he's under investigation hoping investigation into notches the fact that in his election summary tried to have over 11,000 fraudulent signatures submitted to -- for the party. he also now is being called out for getting caught for coordinating, violating the rules and laws, coordinating with one of trump's biggest supporters who is now propping up his campaign with all this dark money going into
2:09 pm
independent expenditure. lead zeldin doesn't think any of the rules apply to him. we get that message out in addition to what i've done with public safety, fighting to keep new yorkers safe and defending a woman's right to choose, lee has said he applauded the overturning of roe v. wade, and does not support us and one of our gunn city measures. he thinks the way to get people safe in new york's to arm teachers. that's next level. we cannot be arming teachers. we have to get the guns off the street, something lee zeldin refuses to do. we've got nine days. the message is getting out there, the votes are coming in. early voting is looking really strong in democratic strongholds. i'm excited about, that. i wasn't for churches today, i've spoken to 50 churches, i'm connecting with the voters. that's, the message they will hear from us. democrats, it's not about the rhetoric. it's about the results. we have results people will be proud of. >> a lot of the menaces that i work with around the country,
2:10 pm
certainly in the state of new york say that you might hold the record for churches there -- governor, you stated that the new york state board of elections is currently investigating your opponents campaign for possibly having collaborated with two campaign super pacs in violation of state law. the times is reporting that a chief enforcement counsel at the state board of election has requested subpoena authority. because two republican members of the state election board unexpectedly did not attend a vote this week to grant that authority, it will likely have to wait until after election day. a spokesperson for congressman zeldin has called this a deflection and a conspiracy theory. what's your reaction? >> talk about conspiracy theory. lee zeldin and donald trump and maga republicans are responsible for the most
2:11 pm
significant attack on our nation's democracy. the assault on our physical capital on january 6th. that is the biggest one for me. this is part of a pattern. you don't get your way, you violate the rules, you attacked the capital, you break the laws and coordinate with super pacs and large trump supporting donors. that's how they think they can steal this election as well. it won't happen here in new york. justice will be had. we will make sure we win this election. i need all the voters of our state to get out there and realize what's on the line. justice, women's right to choose, public safety, as well as getting guns off our streets. we get that message out over the next nine days, this will even be close. >> you know, governor, we are out of time, but i have to bring this up quickly. i've just gotten back from philadelphia, where i preached at a church this morning. they did a documentary on me yesterday the festival.
2:12 pm
i bring that up because your opponent, lee zeldin, has fixated on crime as one of his main lines of attack against you since the election year, dominating your debate with him last week. he pounced on instances of violent crime in new york city. it's been a consistent theme of his campaign ads. is your campaign concerned that this issue might allow lee zeldin to close the gap? i saw in philly they are using that against fetterman. it's amazing to me that these republican candidates, like zeldin and like doctor oz, are all about crime but don't want to do anything about guns, which is the real tool of criminals. and they act like you are, and others, are soft on crime, when in fact, i don't think anyone has been stronger in many states on dealing with gun control and working with communities. i remember when you were --
2:13 pm
used to show up everywhere with the anti crime force. is this just a distorted way of campaigning? i, mean what do you read into this? >> government -- these are master minute later. they have this conspiracy going across america to convince people that a democratic states are not safe. guess what? they are also not only election deniers, they are data deniers. the data shows that shootings and murders are down in our state by 15% in new york city, down 20% on long island. that's where lee zeldin comes from. republican states where they have almost no restrictions on guns because of the abundance of guns, people are killing each other with more frequency. the safer places are the democratic states. they have hijack to this issue and weaponized against us. i think the voters understand that there is people in office, myself, who work to get 1000
2:14 pm
guns off the street, working with our mayor, working with mayor adams, working with all local officials, mayors. that's how we get it done. unfortunately, they are very loud. they have money from super pacs. they have these billionaire donors funding their campaigns and that is a problem. i have faith in the voters at the state of new york. they know someone who will be there fighting for them and not try to arm everybody in the streets and think that's the solution to the crime problem. >> well not only not our people, disarm some criminals, real criminals. thank you new york governor kathy hochul from new york to texas i want to go now to congresswoman veronica escanaba. representing texas 16th district, she's also a member of the congressional spanish caucus and serves on the house judiciary committee. thank you for joining me today, congresswoman. let me go right ahead. >> great to be on the show. >> let me go right at it.
2:15 pm
democrats and republicans are competing for the votes of latinos in battleground states, including your state of texas. in the final days of this midterm election, however, in 2020, democrats saw their traditionally large margins among latinos shift toward republicans. when trump made further gains among a spandex, especially in south texas, in a newly-released poll from quinnipiac university found that the current texas gubernatorial race, in that race the hispanic vote is almost evenly divided between incumbent governor greg abbott and republican, and his democratic challenger, beto o'rourke. in the congressional hispanic caucus, what can democrats do to gain the latino vote back, or at least increase its
2:16 pm
margins to where it was? >> well, reverend al, it's a pleasure to be on your show. thank you for having me, especially as we head into what is probably the most important election of our lifetime. there is so much at stake for all of us. i will tell you, especially for latino communities like my own on the u.s. mexico border in texas. i'm not following a lot of the polls because i don't have faith in them. i really don't believe that they are capturing everybody. we've seen them be wrong in the past. my view is, we get to work on the ground, door to door, talking to every voter possible at their doorstep. that's what we've been doing in el paso. that's what my dear friend, beto o'rourke, has been doing all over texas. going to where voters are. that's the best way to win elections. it's the best way to make sure that we can govern with
2:17 pm
people's values and with their priorities. that's central to our agenda. ability no community, i will tell you, i mean, i have been watching with concern what's been going on in south texas in the rio grande valley with more latino voters shifting toward the republican party. we have seen that in el paso as well over the last few election cycles. one of the things that has been most alarming -- i will tell you, i haven't seen this and heard this firsthand -- the spread of qanon conspiracy theories. the way that extremism has taken hold across the country. the latino communities are not exempt. as i have been knocking on doors here in el paso, unfortunately, i have heard some former democratic voters echoing some of those same falsehoods about the 2020
2:18 pm
election, about those really crazy qanon conspiracies that are not just nonsensical, but you've got to wonder, who in the world would believe in some of these conspiracies? but they are taking hold. you've seen them radicalized millions of americans. it's happening to latinas as well. >> congresswoman, a shift in the biden administration policy earlier this month has left tens of thousands of venezuelan migrants stranded at the u.s. mexico border, almost overnight. they were initially offered a humanitarian parole program for those who have a u.s. sponsor. as you represent a district that borders mexico, what's your reaction to this new policy? >> you know, reverend al, we have seen, and fortunately, more and more vulnerable populations arriving in our nation's front door. going back about a decade.
2:19 pm
this is not a new phenomenon that we are seeing families, children, and different nationalities seeking asylum in america, using the border as their only avenue. the reason why this is happening is because congress has failed to act on any legislation expanding legal pathways. in fact, what we've seen over the last 30 years is a shrinking of legal pathways, which is why we have the situation we face today at the border. i have never believed that these rapid expulsion policies, first started by the trump administration and continued by the biden administration, i have never believed that they are a permanent solution. nor do i think they should be a solution used by the federal government. what we need to see in congress is a congress recognizing that
2:20 pm
we've gone -- in terms of border strategy -- we've got on the republican route for decades. republicans have said that they refuse to offer any legal pathways to immigrants and only want to focus on the border. well, that's what we've been doing. it has not worked. it's time for change. it's time for congress to act. my hope is republicans will come to the table. reverend al, kevin mccarthy has told the country that if republicans regain control of congress, there will be zero legislation on immigration. we know that immigration helps our gdp. it helps address our labor shortage. it creates a more manageable border. unless we want more of the same, we have got to make sure that we have democrats willing to act on immigration legislation in charge in congress. >> bringing up kevin mccarthy saying if the republicans took back the house, in this midterm,
2:21 pm
you are facing a republican challenger irene jackson, who you defeated twice back in 2018 and again in 2020. your opponent has said that her focus is on the economy and immigration. how do you plan on handling the immigration crisis that currently borders your district if reelected to congress? >> well, reverend al, i'm going to defeat my republican opponent once again in november. i've been knocking on doors for months. what we are hearing from the community is concerned about some of the extremist views coming from the republican nominee and from the republican party in general. you know, the border situation, again is, not something that can be discussed in a 32nd sound bite. i really take the time to have these conversations at the doorstep, i community meetings, neighborhood meetings, and with my colleagues in caucus meetings. we need a holistic approach to immigration.
2:22 pm
number one, we have got to pass immigration reform. it is long past time. the last time we passed immigration reform was decades ago. and so, we've got a labor shortage. we need people. we are seeing low census growth. immigration is the answer. let's create those legal pathways. number two, we have got to change the way we operate at the border. right now, we are, i think, not utilizing federal law enforcement responsibly by putting them inside processing centers to care for vulnerable populations. i've got legislation that would change the way we process people at the border to bring dignity, restore dignity to all involved. third, president biden is doing this. he is engaging with our hemispheric partners. immigration does not start at the border. immigration starts way beyond our borders. president biden is the first president in a long time to see
2:23 pm
that and to bring together those hemispheric partners to say, let's address this together. >> you are right. >> all these things will take time. there is no on and off switch. republicans who tell the country that they will change things overnight -- >> i will have to interrupt and hold it there. we are out of time. thank you for coming on. we certainly -- we will be having you on again. thank you for joining me and laying out your plants. >> thank you so much. >> our delicate democracy will be put to the test once again in just nine days. i will tell you how we can rise up against political violence and what is at stake if we don't. next, though, -- before i do that, my colleague richard louis will come and give us today's other top news stories. richard, -- >> some of the stories we are watching for polls open today in brazil in the presidential election, the runoff between former president luis inacio
2:24 pm
lula desalva and current president shower bolsonaro. polls tightened dramatically in the past few weeks. at least 6:50 people are dead and several others feared injured after a cable bridge collapsed in the indian state of -- the bridge, recently reopened to the public after renovation, collapse as it could not handle the number of people on it. officials telling the press trust in india. the death toll from the stampeding incident in south korea now strengths at 153, with 133 hurts. officials trying to assess how many are missing. the temporary office was set up for people filing missing reports as many continue to wait for information about their loved ones. the u.s. embassy reported two americans were among those killed. more politics nation with reverend al sharpton right after this break. this break they only cover select cities with 5g. and with coverage of over 96% of interstate highway miles, they've got us covered. >> tech: at safelite, we take care of vehicles

thoughts were with paul pelosi. house speaker nancy pelosi and their entire family. in the wake of friday's shocking attack their san francisco home, i pray for mr. pelosi's speedy recovery from the injuries that he sustained at the hands of an alleged invader who, according to authorities, had been immersed in an online world of conspiracy thinking and hate. while most democrats and republicans condemned the pelosi attack, there were also disappointing examples of so-called leaders and position enough power and privilege who responded with callous indifference. i've been especially disappointed by the silence of former president donald trump, who seemingly has an opinion on every topic under the sun, but has said nothing about the assault that is now nearly
2:30 pm
three days old. when a gunman opened fire on the republican congressional baseball team in 2017, seriously wounding majority whip steve scalise, i and other civil rights leaders and many democrats denounced what happened immediately and unequivocally. so why is it so hard for the man who fancies himself the -- of the republican party to do the same? we don't know exactly why paul pelosi was attacked. when i heard senior u.s. officials tell nbc news the assailant was shouting where is nancy, my mind immediately went back to january 6th insurrectionists, who hollered the exact words. the resentments between the two events on its own should be enough to prompt some self reflection on the part of republicans. just as they should ask
2:31 pm
themselves why this -- show up outside a ballot drop box brandishing weapons and tactical gear, or white some in their party are preparing to dispute the results of an election that has not even happened yet. a new poll out today found eight out of ten americans believe the country is out of control. it's not hard to see why. in just nine days, our republic will once again be tested. some races will be close, disagreements will arise. some candidates and their supporters will feel anger and disappointment over the results. i pray we can rise up and deal with these emotions peacefully, as we have so many times before. rather than spiral further away from the democratic ideas that have bound us together for so long, we must rise up. we will be right back. will be right back.
2:32 pm
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. covid-19. some people get it, and some people can get it bad. and for those who do get it bad, it may be because they have a high-risk factor. such as heart disease, diabetes, being overweight, asthma, or smoking. even if symptoms feel mild, these factors can increase your risk of covid-19 turning severe.
2:33 pm
so, if you're at high risk and test positive, don't wait. ask your healthcare provider right away if an authorized oral treatment is right for you. breakthrough heartburn... means your heartburn treatment is broken. try zegerid otc. it contains the leading medicine to treat frequent heartburn, uniquely designed for absorption. get all day, all night relief with zegerid otc. technically when enamel is gone, you cannot get it back. but there are ways you can repair it. i'm excited about pronamel repair because it penetrates deep into the tooth to help actively repair acid-weakened enamel. i recommend pronamel repair to my patients.

kids getting hooked on flavored tobacco, including e-cigarettes. big tobacco lures them in with flavors like lemon drop and bubble gum, candy flavors that get them addicted to tobacco products, and can lead to serious health consequences, even harming their brain development. that's why pediatricians urge you to vote yes on prop 31. it stops the sale of dangerous flavored tobacco and helps protect kids from nicotine addiction. please vote yes on 31. vote yes on prop 31.

2:49 pm
lines, and are resurfacing of hateful rhetoric. many of us thought that had been relegated to the past, a new film looks back at a tragedy that shaped our country nearly seven decades ago. till, till tells the story of the 1955 lynching of emmett till in mississippi through the eyes of his mother. maybe tell, who fought for justice in the murder of a 14 year old son. and help spark the civil rights movement in the process. joining me now is keith lesean, producer of the film, tell and debra watts, cousins of emmett till and ceo, president, and founder of emmett till legacy foundation. keith, let me go to you first. till is a fantastic movie. we've seen raver views, it highlights the true story of maybe tell mobilize relentless
2:50 pm
pursuit of justice for her 14-year-old son. emma tyrrell, who in 1955 was brutally lynched, lynched, while visiting his cousins and mississippi. let's take a look at a clip. >> they have a different set of rules for negroes down there, are you listening? >> yes. >> you need to be extra careful with white people, you can't risking at looking at them the wrong way. >> i know. >> -- be small down there. >> like this. >> now it was a fight to get this movie made for over ten years. and no one was more persistent, consistent, then you were, keith, i remember things that you had some of us doing around the story of maybe till, --
2:51 pm
and i mean you had us living and breathing, if you've got this movie done. why was it important to bring this story to the big screen, and how does amit, and maybe story, who because of you have got to know may be, how does it resonate today? >> well reverend al it's been a mission to get to this point, it's been 29 years of my life. getting this film made, 20 years with fred solo -- and will be goldberg. my other co-producers on this project. but it's very important to tell the story because there's no other story that speaks to the political and racial climate, then the story of emmett, louis till and also important tell the story because i wanted people to understand and learn about migrate -- fought for 47 years to make
2:52 pm
sure that justice was done. what we're seeing happening today, this film being released its and promise i gave to her, a promise fulfilled. >> she was a relentless activists, the times we had, you and others she was on may may amazing. debra, this week on friday a nine foot tall brown statue of your cousin, emmett till, was unveiled in real spike park in greenwood, mississippi, although this doesn't negate the fact that neither of emits killer's, or his accuser were brought to justice. what does this mean to the family, to have the movie made, i talk to you i met members of the family down through the years. and the burden you guys carry. what does this mean to you, the movies made and a monument is erected now in mississippi? >> it's a proud moment. first of all, it's a great
2:53 pm
question. and one that we're just honored and grateful to have an opportunity to answer. because this is long and coming, it's something that mamie till-mobley wanted. it's also about our promise to keep pushing forward towards truth, justice, accountability. and one of the things i want people to know, when you walk out of a movie, when we walk out of the movie, it's different we're walking into our reality. and to have the story told is important. it's also one more we're still fighting for justice. no one's been hallie countable and so that's our reality today. monuments, memory trails have have been erected, and those are great, except for i think what mimi wanted the world to bear witness to her son's murder, and lynching. is that his death would not be in vain and that truth, justice,
2:54 pm
accountability would prevail. >> keith, in my capacity as president of national network, i work with the mothers of the movement, fraternity of mothers who lost their children to police misconduct. mamie till-mobley, who i got to know, and she came a few times. i remember rosa parks said, when she sat in front of the bus in manga marie, when -- all she thought about was emmett till. that was because i have mamie till-mobley, opening the casket and making the world deal with it. her fight for justice, for her son was ahead of her time. she set the trend for mothers and families to stand up and expose what happens in many racist, unjust situations. >> absolutely. again, there's no other story that speaks of this generation than the story of emmett louis tell. we hear about the slaughter of
2:55 pm
black and brown on the streets of america. whether it's at the hands of police or white racists. who are out there. emmett till's name metaphorically comes to fruition because of his case, his story, his lunging serves as a reminder of grave injustice, as well as hope and change. because it was that hope, that change that came out of the murder of emmett lewis till, it provided racial progression in this country. >> all right, the movie is, till, i thank both debra watts and keith both champ, and for being diligent and persistent, we mamie will be proud. thank you, congratulations on the movie. it's in theaters now. okay, let's go to my final thoughts. tomorrow, there is a supreme court is set to hear arguments in an affirmative action case that weighs whether colleges,
2:56 pm
universities should be allowed to continue using race as one of several factors in admissions decisions. the courts already considered and affirmed issue twice in the last decade. but now, what many analysts think, the 6 to 3 conservative majority will overturn the long-standing civil right. let me tell you briefly what can be done to fight the issue, when they say race can't be considered there. next they will say it shouldn't be considered in the private sector. beboards and corporate boards, whether there's enough diversity. it will have an effect across the board to take race out of consideration. why? because in 2016, many people side voting doesn't matter. donald trump was elected and stacked the supreme court 6 to 3. that's what you're voting
2:57 pm
