there's too much political violence. there's too much intimidation. there are more than 300 election deniers on the republican tickets this year for state, federal, and local government. [ boos ] this is really serious stuff. if a republican nominee for governor in the state of wisconsin wins, here's what he said. he said, if i win, my party will never lose another election in wisconsin. he's either a prophet or he plans on doing something about election law. >> that's president joe biden in california last night. his latest stop in a jam-packed campaign schedule before the final days of the campaign. willie, you've got these republican candidates that believe in american democracy only if they win. >> yeah. we've played the laundry list of them. senator ron johnson was on yesterday talking to our own shaquille brewster inside the state of wisconsin.

shaquille asked him simply if you lose will you honor the results? we'll have to see what happens. his words, i don't know what the democrats are going to do to cheat. he's laying down that marker. if i lose, i'm not going to concede because i'm making the assumptions that democrats cheated. >> all this phony b.s. from republicans, mika, about, oh, democrats, they don't -- they're like hillary clinton, for instance, yes, she conceded. immediately. >> yeah. yeah. >> and it's happened time and again in american history. this is a new phenomenon with donald trump. by the way, it didn't start in 2020. he did it in 2016. he did it in january. jonathan lemire, january of 2016, did it when ted cruz beat him in iowa, the iowa caucuses. he was talking about how the republican iowa caucuses were

rigged. >> yeah. i mean, in that january, said the rnc and ted cruz conspired against him. he heard it in august, started talking about it at general election rallies, and at that point he was the first republican nominee to say this. he said he thought the election would be on the up and up, then followed up by saying he wouldn't necessarily honor the results of that election. of course he ended up winning anyway, but he beat the drum throughout his four years in office, whether it was mail-in balloting or suggesting the deep state was against him, and we know how it played out there after the 2020 election, january 6th, enabled by fellow republicans who are still saying the same things today. >> we have more politics in the final five days of the midterms ahead, but the latest jobs report was released within the last hour and it shows the u.s. economy added 261,000 jobs in october, beating estimates. the unemployment rate ticked up to 3.7%. >> i will say, willwillie, thate

and again economists are surprised by how resilient this economy is. the "wall street journal" today, as they were reporting this breaking news, talking about -- and we'll talk with andrew ross sorkin in a minute -- but that the "wall street journal" again talking about the resiliency of the american economy, that it continues to grow and the numbers keep -- they keep adding jobs. >> yeah. this number is higher than expectations, 261,000, unemployment at 3.7%. by definition, the economy is not in a recession, though some people are still predicting that for next year. we have the co-anchor of cnbc's "squawk box" andrew ross sorkin with us to help us put these numbers into some context. what do they look like to you, andrew? >> i have to say, i am very surprised by the resilience of what clearly is an employment picture that's better than people expected. oddly enough, the stock market right now is going up, and i'll tell you why. you say, okay, that should be a good thing. it's going up in part because

actually the unemployment number has actually gone up. so it was 3.5%. we're now at 3.7%. there's sort of a goldilocks situation, that things are holding up but there's a little more unemployment. the reason why the market likes that is they think to themselves, well, maybe the federal reserve is not going to then have to continue raising interest rates and raising interest rates and raising interest rates to calm things down because the addition of more unemployment is going to overall longer term slow things down. i know, it's complicated, a little perverse. >> explain that, andrew, to our viewers that may not watch "squawk" every day. one of the biggest drivers of inflation is wages. >> absolutely. >> a tight job market. it sounds awfully cold when we talk about it this way, but if people want to know why wall street, you know, would respond positively to the unemployment

rate going up a little bit is because they're hoping it goes up and maybe peaks a at 4.2%, 4.3%, and that will stop the recession from happening and cool things down enough so powell doesn't have to keep hiking interest rates. >> right. they're trying to fight a couple things here. they're trying to fight the idea that inflation is going to run away. and one of the ways that that's happening, if you believe it's happening, is a function of employment and wage inflation. if there's more unemployment and people lose their jobs, that does some work, if you will, for federal reserve. the federal reserve doesn't have to try to tamp down so much on the economy and continue to raise these rates and make people's credit cards and mortgages cost more. one of the reasons they've been doing that is, in fact, to do this, which is they want unemployment to go up. i know that sounds so peculiar, but that's what's happening here. so the idea that both the total jobs numbers, the 261,000 figure you're seeing on your screen, is

holding up is making people feel good that we're not going to necessarily land in a recession. this goes to the idea of a soft landing at the same time when they have a bit more unemployment. by the way, this comes on a day when we're starting to see the world of technology -- technological world i'm talking about, twitter today with a big unemployment number in terms of they're getting rid of half their staff. lyft, amazon, apple. we are seeing pockets of the economy where there will be layoffs. >> andrew ross sorkin, thank you very much for the explanation. nbc's chief white house correspondent peter alexander reports on yesterday's day on to the campaign trail. >> reporter: heading into the final weekend before the midterms, a surprise endorsement overnight in the pennsylvania senate race with oprah winfrey

publicly backing republican john fetterman over former tv star republican dr. mehmet oz. >> i said it was up to the citizens of pennsylvania, and of course. but i will tell you all this, if i lived in pennsylvania, i would have already cast my vote for john fetterman for many reasons. win free gave oz his start in tv. the oz campaign responded, "dr. oz loves oprah and respects the fact they have different politics. he believes we need more balance and less extremism in washington." it comes as a trio of presidents, both past and present, are set to converge on pennsylvania. president biden will reunite with his longtime political partner former president obama tomorrow in philadelphia, looking to give a late boost to fetterman. oz will welcome former president trump to the other side of the state near pittsburgh. mr. trump overnight returning to the trail in iowa, where 89-year-old republican senator chuck grassley is facing his

toughest re-election fight in four decades, clinging to a slim lead over democrat mike franken. >> this tuesday you must vote republican in a giant red wave. >> reporter: mr. trump attacking his successor after president biden blamed him for fuelling the rise in political violence, centered an mr. trump's repeated lie that the 2020 election was stolen. mr. trump also teasing another presidential run in 2024. >> and now in order to make our country successful and safe and glorious, i will very, very, very probably do it again. okay? very, very, very -- >> reporter: with democrats at risk of losing control of congress, president biden is steering clear of key battlegrounds out west, instead visiting typically blue strongholds, new mexico and california, in an effort to protect vulnerable incumbents. >> this is a choice, a choice between two vastly different visionings of america.

>> peter alexander reporting there. let's bring in ali vitali, capitol hill correspondent. you're looking at the one state we ought to be watching for on election day, a couple house races that might give us a good idea of where things are headed on tuesday. >> reporter: yeah, willie. that's exactly right. we're looking at virginia, one of the places that republicans first felt the red wave starting back in 2021, when glenn youngkin won the governor's race. now looking at some of these house races, they are some of the most expensive in the country, the tightest, but also could tell us a lot about what democrats and republicans are in for on tuesday night. watch. >> reporter: there are tight races and then those nail-biter house contests in virginia. is that news to you? >> it's been the same every time. >> reporter: elaine luria in the battle of her political life facing off against nave veteran

jen kigginns. the 2021 virginia governor's race may have marked the beginning of the red wave republicans are hoping for. >> virginia, we won this thing! >> reporter: what happens in the commonwealth could be a bellwether for the rest of the country, an early indicator if democrats are holding fast or if the red wave is here. >> they want change. they want something different in their representative. that's what we're talking about. >> reporter: in suburban and rural virginia, spanberger is no stranger to tight contests you've always run in races that are tight. 2021 captured the national attention, but voters have been surprising washington for years like when gop voters ousted eric cantor in a 2014 primary. >> watching this district go from eric cantor to dave brat and then have me challenge him in 2018, there's been a lot of

points along the way where this race has been one that people have watched. >> reporter: conversations with voters in both districts mirror national polling priorities. the economy and inflation. >> the main thing for me right now is abortion. >> my constitution is under attack. that's number one. >> i think for me it's about voting rights. >> the economy. >> reporter: in luria's district where veterans make up a large swath of the electorate, her work on the january 6th committee could be a central focus. >> the most common thing people say is thanks for the work on the january 6th committee. >> reporter: not according to kigginns. >> no. economy, economy, economy. >> reporter: how did she do on the committee? >> it wasn't an insurrection and it's atrocious what she's done. >> the idea the election was stolen, ridiculous. >> reporter: but sean patrick mahoney say people could win the

day. are those two good races for bellwethers? >> sure. it will take a while on election night to see the full picture, so, yeah, i'm watching those races. >> reporter: and willie, look no further than we're not the only ones who are watching these races very closely. the last place that kevin mccarthy is likely to be the day before election day is actually at a rally with glenn youngkin and jen kigginns in virginia rallying ahead of election day trying to show how optimistic they feel there and across the country. >> democrats playing defense in places they never thought they'd have to. >> reporter: yeah. >> ali vitali, thankings so much. coming up, a new report says not only is donald trump planning to announce another run for president but he has a specific date in mind. we'll have that for you ahead. plus, for trump supporters, nothing is apparently more dangerous than the so-called deep state. but author david rothkopf joins us to explain how it was that very deep state that saved our

nation. flu symptoms hit harder than the common cold. so it takes the right tool for the job... to keep it together. now there's new theraflu flu relief with a max strength fever fighting formula. the right tool for long lasting flu symptom relief. hot beats flu. first psoriasis, then psoriatic arthritis. even walking was tough. i had to do something. i started cosentyx®. cosentyx can help you move, look, and feel better... by treating the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting...get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections some serious... and the lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms... or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms... develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. watch me. ask your rheumatologist about cosentyx.

as you testified earlier, the president implicitly threatened you in that call record. and now the president in real time is attacking you. what effect do you think that has on other witnesses' willingness to come forward and expose wrongdoing? >> well, it's very intimidating. >> it's designed to intimidate, is it not? >> i mean, i can't speak to what the president is trying to do, but i think the effect is to be intimidating. >> former u.s. ambassador to ukraine marie yovanovitch testifying during the first impeachment trial of donald

trump about personal attacks being levied at her by the then president. ambassador yovanovitch is just one of the officials our next guest says played key roles in protecting our democracy during the trump administration. david rothkopf joins us now. he's columnist for "the daily beast" and an author of the new book entitled "american resistance: the inside story of how the deep state saved the nation." >> a provocative subtitle. explain. >> well, i thought we should go right at the conspiracy theory. >> yep. >> you have to ask yourself why do they have this conspiracy theory. you know, the idea that a million people, the biggest organization in the world are somehow engaged in conspiracy is ludicrous. why are they doing it? and the reason is that there are a lot of people in the u.s. government who place loyalty to the constitution and adherence to their oath of office ahead of loyalty to an individual or to a party. >> right. >> they saw them as a threat,

and that's -- you know, it's the same thing as with fake news. they said, well, you know, let's call this all fake news because it's a threat. >> donald trump admitted that to lesley stahl. he said i call it fake lose because when you write something bad about me they won't believe it. >> and it comes home to roost when he needs it, like denying an election or something like that. deep state just means you've done something that undermines the guy i love, donald trump, therefore there must be a conspiracy around it. how did this term become so prevalent? how did we learn it? who are the biggest pushers? >> it's interesting because the term actually dates back to, like, the turkish government. people weren't talking about it until 2016. >> right. >> then, you know, a bunch of sort of right-wing writers got on it and trump got on it and started saying these are the bad guy, we have to stop them. and over the course of the trump administration, we see why, because these people who

regularly said no, mr. president, there's a law, no, mr. president, there's the constitution, no, mr. president, we can't do that. it infuriated him and by the end of his administration what he was trying to do is get rid of them and created this schedule f idea where he can fire 50,000 of them. now the whole republican party has bought into it. the reason i think it's important is that this is part of the effort to chip away at democratic protections and the rule of law, whether it's, you know, make it harder to vote or having secretaries of state who say republicans will win every election from now on. part of it is getting rid of people who place loyalty to the constitution ahead of loyalty to trump or to some maga leader. >> jonathan lemire, for our viewers, trace this back to the beginning, the first big deep state theory was when donald trump said barack obama and the

deep state tapped my phones. >> mm-hmm. >> and they actually let it play out, that lie, which republicans, i can tell you people in the administration were horrified that morning. they were frantic running around the white house that morning trying to figure out what to do. trace it from there, that lie, all the way through an investigation that went longer -- again, trying to investigate the, quote, deep state and all the horrible things they did against donald trump and all the things they did against donald trump and the doj did against donald trump, durham is made a fool of. he makes a fool of himself. it goes on. he's got some hacks on the far trump right that are trying to defend him, but at the end of the day, absolutely nothing there. a man that once had a stellar reputation leaves in shame. can't indict a grapefruit. >> the durham probe -- >> a very guilty grapefruit may i add. >> that really shows how badly

he has slipped. >> yes. >> it was the response to the investigation leading to this failed durham probe. you were talking about the idea that so many of these people, he's vilified them, and some have left, trying to push others out before leaving office. why he was in charge, there was this -- these remnants of the old washington trying to hold him back. the real fear as he teases 2024, were he to win again, those guardrails will be gone because the deep state will have been eradicated. does that keep you up at night? >> it does. we've gotten rid of the checks we grew up believing in place. the judiciary, he got rid of the doj as a guard rail, the senate, impeachment took place, he got rid of that as a guard rail, and when he start told discover that issue after issue from the muslim ban to him calling up mattis at night and saying let's

launch a war and the military leaders are going let's walk that back a bit. >> yeah. >> he said, wait, this is an impediment, so i'm going to fire him. i'm going to appoint people -- i'm not going for senate confirmation. i'm going to put acting people into these different places. now i want to pass a law. it's not just him though. desantis and others are like we can't have these people around loyal to the country. this is a step on the road to authoritarianism. we have to see it. >> it is such a playbook. i mean, it's taken straight out of the authoritarian's playbook. you can look and see what do they do, they get rid of people that are loyal to the country, loyal to the constitution, and they replace that with blind loyalty for one person. willie was just reading out a new document that the republicans have put together

attacking the professionals and the fbi. they attack the fbi, they attack the united states military when they're out of power, they attack the state department and try to gut the state department. they attack the intel community, all the institutions that actually keep this country safe. trump actually undermines the intel community, steals documents from the white house, takes him to his beach club, and then people turn on the fbi and attack the fbi even more. >> yeah. i think the other thing, and one of the other reasons i wrote the book is, you know, the trump administration was more chaotic, more dangerous than we know, right? we're just beginning to discover it. it would have been a lot worse if it weren't for these people. covid would have been a lot worse if it weren't for these people. there could have been wars. you know, he had crazy ideas

like let's launch missiles at mexico, missiles, alligators in a mote. all these things. this is crazy. they stopped it. alexander vindman, a whistle-blower, they said, you know, the president is breaking the law. the congress has appropriated $191 million for ukraine, and he's keeping it away. and they blew the whistle, and what happened? two weeks later the funds were released. so, you know, it wasn't perfect. some of these people screwed up in over ways. >> but there were heroes. >> there were heroes and there were democrats and republicans, and mostly they were public servants. >> servants. >> if he don't appreciate public service, then we get herschel walker, right? >> yeah. we got that. >> saw a whole bunch of them in the january 6th hearings as well, people in the administration who we didn't know it at that time stood up and said this isn't happening. >> "american resistance: the inside story of how the deep state saved the nation."

author david rothkopf, thank you very much for sharing it with us this morning. we appreciate it. >> again, it is important to underline a lot of republicans, like you said, we saw in those hearings a lot of republicans, part of that. so this isn't like a democratic deal or a left-wing deal. >> no. >> there are a lot of patriotic republicans, independents, democrats that are pushing back on this madness. >> people who did the right thing. coming up, donald trump sits on a $100 million campaign war chest. ted cruz wants to know why he's not spending that money to help republican candidates. we'll play for you his remarks. plus, the latest with brooklyn nets star kyrie irving. the team suspending him over his sharing of an anti-semitic documentary and a very, very lame apology. [coughing] hi, susan. honey. yeah. i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad. try this robitussin honey. the real honey you love,

we're back at the bottom of the hour, 9:30 on the east coast, 6:30 out west. the brooklyn nets have suspended kyrie irving for at least five games without pay after the star point guard again failed to, quote, unequivocally say he has no anti-semitic beliefs. when given an opportunity in a

media session yesterday. nbc's stephanie gosk has details. >> reporter: overnight, kyrie irving apologizing after a firestorm of criticism and a five-game suspension without pay from the brooklyn nets. last week the nba star, who has a huge social media following, posted a link to a movie that embraces anti-semitic conspiracy theories and denies the holocaust. irving now writing, "to all jewish families and communities that are hurt and affected from my post, i am deeply sorry to have caused you pain and i apologize." but it comes after days of combative appearances including a press conference thursday in which irving did not offer a full apology and refused to answer whether he had anti-semitic bleaches. >> i don't know how the label becomes justified because you guys ask the same questions over and over again. >> it was a yes or no on that question. yes or no. >> i cannot be anti-semitic if i know where i come from. >> reporter: his team and the nba frustrated, the nets writing, "we were dismayed today that kyrie refused to

unequivocally say he has no anti-semitic bleaches nor this acknowledge specific hateful material in the film." irving's overnight apology now saying, "i want to clarify any confusion on where i stand fighting against anti-semitism by apologizing for posting the documentary without context." rapper kanye west, who has prominently expressed anti-semitic beliefs in past few weeks, weighing in on the controversy before the suspension was announced, tweeting out irving's photo. >> we have nba stars, hip-hop entertainers, all contributing to an environment in which anti-semitism is unambiguously elevated at levels we literally haven't seen in about 45 years. that's scary. >> reporter: it comes at time of heightened fears about anti-semitism. the new jersey fbi division tweeting this week it's received credible information of a broad threat to synagogues in new jersey. for the jewish community, the threats making it all the more urgent to fight public anti-semitism. >> nbc's stephanie gosk reporting there. so, you saw on our show,

jonathan gleanblatt, the head of the adl. kyrie said i'm donating $500,000 to them to help fight hate. jonathan and others watched his performance yesterday where he still cast himself as a victim, you know what, keep your money, we don't want the donation. another thing is the deafening silence of nba players during all this. we haven't heard from nba players at all. one person we have heard from, charles barkley, who days ago said this guy needs to be suspended, nba, do something. >> and the nba -- and the nets slow to act here. this is long overdue. he had multiple opportunities to apologize, never did, never with any real sincerity. even yesterday after the suspension, which is costing him money, suspension without pay, the instagram post was a half-hearted apology, which did not disavow the entire movie. he said there were things in there he still agreed with. it comes at a moment of disturbing rise of anti-semitism, we mentioned kanye west, also donald trump,

dealing with anti- -- saying that -- questioning the love of american jews for the nation. it is disturbing and continues a rise of hate crimes, as donnie mentioned earlier, where are the other corporate sponsors, nike, and others coming down? >> where are all the other nba stars speaking up? they speak out on just about every other issue, other than china, of course. social justice issues. why aren't they speaking out here? why isn't that the nba and the players are champions of social justice until it comes to jews? >> the team suspension seems light at this point and this person's not going to -- >> be interesting to see if this is the end for kyrie in brooklyn. maybe not. again, he's a great player, but at some point, you say, is this guy worth it. >> right. >> but the league has been laulded, and rightly so, from the top down, lebron, commissioner adam silver, for the way he's handled and talked about issues of social justice

but very slow and silent in many cases on this. >> has lebron said anything about this? >> we heard from him about twitter and hate speech there but nothing about kyrie irving. irving oddly popular among players, a lot of people like him throughout the league, but he's crossed the bridge several times now and they remain silent. also kevin durant, the superstar on the nets, brought kyrie to brooklyn, has said nothing. >> praise for a film that does it not deny the existence of 6 million jews who were killed in the holocaust, willie? >> pablo torres yesterday from espn had the arduous task of watching that entire 3 1/2-hour movie and it's got all the god-awful hits in there including the fact that the numbers aren't real, those people didn't die in those numbers. it questions everything about

the holocaust. >> nba and the nba players silence. >> the league has criticized him and the team has suspended him, but took them a while to get there. >> and the players are still silent. former president trump is facing criticism for not spending more of his captain fund-raising cash on republicans that he endorsed this election season. some of that criticism appears to be coming from senator ted cruz. take a look. >> i will say, by the way, i wish trump was spending some of his money. trump's got $100 million and spending almost none of it to support these candidates. it would be nice if he'd spend some of it to help some of these candidates who abandoning because they're pro trump. those are the two pock edmonton os money and they're not spending them. >> did you see those chairs? >> very -- >> very comfortable. swallow you up. >> look at those things. >> we need those chairs. >> yes. >> i want those chairs.

we need a cactus. i think we need a couple cacti behind us and everything. look at that, see? >> oh, wow. >> i'm telling you. >> has he apologized yet? so outrageously out of character for him to criticize donald trump. i'm sure he'll be walking that back shortly. >> this was his own podcast, clearly too comfortable in those giant chairs. you know, he clearly got ahead of himself. i'm sure he'll be walking that back any minute. since the end of his 2016 campaign, he has not stood up to trump once. >> we'll see what happens. >> my take-away, we need those chairs. >> we'll figure that out. >> these are hard. >> we'll if ig your it out. we may now know why trump doesn't want to spend that money, okay? >> yeah. >> let's bring in national political reporter for axios jonathan swan. you have new reporting on a specific date trump is eyeing for announcement of another presidential run?

>> yeah. former president trump's inner circle has been eyeing november 14th as the date for him to announce and have discussed a sort of multiday event, rollout sort of announcement on november 14, and then the next couple days a number of political events. as with trump, everything that involves trump, it's fluid, it could change depending on what happens on tuesday or his blood sugar levels or whatever, but there are people now that -- close advisers to him who are basically blocking off that period from november 14th to 16th in the expectation that that's what's going to happen. >> any specific reason for november 14th? >> it's after the midterms so he wants to be able to claim victory and, you know, hopefully in his mind that it's a vindication of his candidates and that they won and he can say, you know, here's my stamp on the party. it's also getting out in front of some of these other candidates who are expected to

run or potentially might run like ron desantis. it's expected again with trump you can't be concrete about these things that he's going to impose loyalty tests, are you with me or against me, and that he would do that with donors, activists, staff, and elected officials. so you're going to find people like kevin mccarthy in a really difficult position. think about if trump announces, what's kevin mccarthy's stance going to be at the likely incoming speaker if they win the majority? does he endorse trump? you'll find people in really difficult positions, and that's going to be a question that a lot of leading remdesivirs will have to face -- republicans will have to face if we expect on his reporting from his planning actually does happen. >> jonathan lemire. >> so, a few other events on the calendar that could factor in. president biden would be overseas at the that time at the g-20. tiffany trump, is getting married that weekend, happening

at mar-a-lago, so hosting responsibilities. the senate, there's a good chance we won't know who has control on the 14th because they're still counting ballots in some places but the georgia runoff which is in december. if that's still up in the air, could that cause trump to delay? >> yeah, it could affect the timing. a source i spoke to said that's one of the factors -- run of the reasons i make clear in my story this is not set in stone is what happens on tuesday matters. if it's a bad night for republicans, that could matter, could affect the timing. if the senate is still hanging in the balance and we have to wait a month and there's a georgia runoff, that could affect the timing as well. what i say in the story is 1100% accurate, they're thinking november 14th and days after that you could see a series of events following that initial announcement. >> national political reporter for axios, jonathan swan, thank you very much. still ahead, a look at the record number of early voting

this midterm election. also ahead, this weekend it's time to turn the blocks back an hour, but some lawmakers are trying once again to make this the last time daylight saving time ends.

behaviors have entered uncharted doe mains since the pandemic and the trump-fueled chaos of the 2020 election. republicans are largely faring better across the country with early vote totals running ahead of their 2020 levels in battleground states like nevada and florida as well as in deep blue states like california. but in states with major races for senate and governor, like pennsylvania and arizona, democrats' early vote count is also around the same level or higher than it was two years ago." let's bring in andra hailey, the ceo of the voter registration platform vote.org. it's good to have you on the show. does that match up with what you're seeing? what can you add to what we know so far? >> absolutely, it definitely matches up to what we're seeing. one of the interesting things to remember is that early voting laws have also changed in many states so from 2018 to now we

have drastically different laws. in 2010 we had a big opening up of voting and then a wave of voter suppression laws in some states that have rolled back early voting. the direct comparisons are difficult. >> any signs of what you're getting, for example, about the youth vote or women voting? >> we're definitely seeing huge spikes at vote.org in registration of young women, young people in general, and starting to see in these early vote numbers that translate into action at the ballot box. so to see that actually happening in real time is pretty exciting for our program, but i think people are participating, young people are participating. i think there are a lot of issues on the ballot that people deeply care about. >> you have to be encouraged, andrea, regardless of the vast numbers of people voting early, look at georgia where they're seeing record numbers of early vote, a place where there have been concerns about voter suppression in the past, clearly people getting their votes out now. what does that tell you about georgia, where the race is so close? >> i think it tells us about the determination of the american people to overcome any obstacles

that are put in their way. at the end of the day, a lot of the voter suppression laws are meant to exhaust people, to wear them out of the process. what we're seeing across the nation especially in georgia is that's not happening. people are sticking to their guns and saying they'll participate in this election and that they're showing up anyway. so i think that's exciting and i think the record numbers will, you know, continue all the way through election day. >> andrea, you mentioned georgia, a state that imposed new voter restrictions but hasn't seemingly impacted the number of people that have been able to vote so far. are there other states you are seeing that passed similar law where is the vote total is down at this point? >> you know, we're really actually seeing people jump through the hoops anyway. i think there is a lot of voter education about those laws and about what was happening. if there's one thing the american people don't like, it's taking a right away from them, so sometimes some of these laws can have a backlash effect. i think a lot of them are death by a thousand paper cuts in the sense trying to take out 10,000,

15,000 people at the time with small minutia. there's a law in texas and one in georgia, a wet signature law that seems boring but it makes it so you can't register online using your cell phone or mobile phone. that affects young voters. that kind of things shaves off small numbers of people at a time. we make sure the voters have the assistance they need to get through the process. >> we talked about different states. you said before we came on, there doesn't seem to be any overarching theme line. usually, you have one party or another seeing enthusiasm, but you say the lines are just -- it's impossible to predict. >> really difficult to predict. after the saw after the overturning of roe v. wade, we saw a 300% up tick in registrations but in states we saw an up tick in registration, and in kansas we saw 1,000% up tick in

registrations. >> interesting, andrea thank you so much for coming on this morning. >> thank you. a look at the morning papers across the country. we'll be right back. across the country we'll be right back. this is gloria. she hasn't worked this hard to only get this far with her cholesterol. taken with a statin, leqvio can lower bad cholesterol by over 50% and keep it low with two doses a year. side effects were injection site reaction, joint pain, urinary tract infection, diarrhea, chest cold, pain in legs or arms, and shortness of breath. with leqvio, lowering cholesterol becomes just one more thing life throws your way. ask your doctor about leqvio. lower. longer. leqvio. ever wonder why they call it the american dream... a and not the american goal?. derek jeter! ...or plan? maybe it's because in drea, you can do anything. in dreams... you can hold your entire world in the palm of your hand.

implemented to save on electricity. but those savings have been at most minimal. >> the daylight savings time bureaucrats have been punching the clock on the taxpayer's dime for too long. >> reporter: the time change can have a real impact on your health with some people suffering from seasonal effective disorder. >> when the days get short, it disrupts function and the ability to enjoy one's life. >> reporter: researchers have found an increase in the number of heart attack, strokes, and car accidents in the days after the time change. this past march the senate voted to make daylight savings time permanent but it staled in the house. it was tried in the 1970s but ended a year later. for now the clock is turning back. better ways to adjust, first embrace the extra hour of rest.

more than a third of americans are sleep deprived. make the shift gradual. start moving up your bedtime now. and consider buying a wakeup light. >> light is important for wakefulness, for activity, and for mood. the light that's been taken away from you, take it back. >> okay. >> all right. >> i don't know that seasonal thing. if it gets dark at 4:00, right, that means everybody slows down and i can go to sleep like at 6:30. everybody is like -- they're not like grandpa simpson, too old. what gets me is sometimes in the summer we go up to maine, honey, and it will never get dark. >> that's true. >> it's like 10:00, 10:30, 11:00. >> you want it darker earlier. you want to be at least before pat and vana walk out for the first spin of the wheel. >> exactly. >> all right. >> by the time van nacomes out and we're watching wheel of fortune, having our milk and crackers, mika and i, i want to
