good evening, and welcome to politics nation. tonight's lead, the final stretch. right now, both the harris and trump campaigns are in a frantic race to finish delivering their final messages to the voters with election day just nine days out.

the vice president just wrapped up remarks in philadelphia after a day of campaign events aimed at black and latino voters. meanwhile, donald trump is about to take the stage here in new york at madison square garden. let's start, then, with both candidates, each holding a campaign rally today. nbc's allie raffa is in philadelphia where the harris campaign has just done a series of appearances and nbc's vaughn hillyard was a new york city the trump campaign. tell us about the vice president stay in philadelphia and the message today. >> yeah, will vice president harris spent the day crisscrossing the city of brotherly love try to generate more love around her campaign. she focused on key demographics here in philadelphia, specifically black and latino voters.

she just wrapped up her rally here in north philadelphia where she said no one can sit out on the sidelines this election. she said that people should spend the next nine days trying to rally all of their friends to get out and vote, because she says democrats cannot have any regrets after election day. and before that, we saw her start her day delivering remarks to a black congregation , campaigning and sending 20 buses to that church to take congregants from that service directly to the polls to vote. we then saw her go to a barbershop to eke with young black men. speaking with them about more job opportunities and equal pay that she would promise if she is elected. and then she went on to court latino voters at a puerto rican restaurant, where she talked about her puerto rico policies and also did not mince words about the importance of not just the city, but the state as a whole.

you know, she is counting on the democratic stronghold of philly to come out in record numbers and support her, especially given that there is a question of whether she could perform as good as president biden did here, especially in the summers, that helped him flip the state of pennsylvania blue in 2020. and so the harris campaign knows how incredibly important it is to get everyone out. not just here in philadelphia proper, but also in those more rural suburbs. that's why there campaign is leading this massive doorknocking effort out in the suburbs, trying to court the votes of maybe those anti-trump republicans who still aren't sold on supporting harris yet. >> you are at madison square garden in midtown manhattan. what can you tell us about this event, and former president trump? >> last time i was here for his next suns game here. this is a little different atmosphere here. and i think madison square

garden is accustomed to. we are talking about a series ahead of donald trump slated to speak in about the next hour and a half, two hours. it includes a cast of his own campaign staff. to stephen miller, but also the likes of donald trump's former personal attorney and new york city mayor rudy giuliani. imminently, you're going to be having don jr., elon musk, there right behind me. speaker mike johnson just at the stage. this is a republican party that is not just talk to the white house, and also it's going to be trying to hold on to the majorities and take majorities in u.s. congress. a lot of that is going to come down to some of these key congressional districts here in the state of new york. and so far, i think it would be an understatement to say that we have heard several vulgarities from multiple speakers. several very personal,

demeaning attacks on the likes of vice president harris, but also people like district attorney alvin bragg and new york attorney general lakisha james. this is a moment here for donald trump nine days out he made the decision to come to new york, which he lost by 23 percentage points in 2020. it's more of a signal he is sending to the country that not only is he going to going to blue areas, but that this is a national campaign, and one that is under the spotlight of the madison square garden lights. he wants the country to understand that the maga movement, it is not decreased in size, but has only grown over the nest 9 1/2 years. the question is though, has a grown to the point where he would be able to eclipse the democratic ticket and put it back into the white house? trying to galvanize his trump faithful to turn them into trump voters here over the next nine days. >> all right. thank you to both nbc's allie raffa and vaughn hillyard. joining me now is former u.s. ambassador to the united nations

susan rice. before we get to this election, ambassador rice, i want to start in the middle east. the un security council is expected to meet tomorrow to discuss israels strike on iran. the biden administration has said it is hopeful the operation will lead to an end of direct confrontation between iran and israel. what are your thoughts on how it could impact the election? >> well, good to be with you. and i think the israeli retaliation for the extremely strong attack that iran launched on israel about a month ago was -- was rational targeted, measured, and effective in attacking iranian military targets. but they refrained from aeschylus tory actions, like hitting nuclear facilities or oil facilities.

following the advice and counsel of the biden/harris administration. though i do think there is a reasonable chance that this will de-escalate for the time being, and that is a testament in my judgment to the leadership of president biden and vice president harris. >> needless to say, had they hit the nuclear arm, it would have escalated quickly into possibly a regional situation. >> reverend, when you compare that to donald trump who was cheerleading for attacks on iranian nuclear facilities knowing that we have thousands of american troops in the region who would have been in the line of fire, it just shows you how reckless and dangerous donald trump would be. >> let me go to this. more than a dozen former trump white house officials have backed up general john kelly's claims that his former boss,

donald trump, fits the definition of a fascist. and repeatedly praised adolf hitler during kelly's time as trump's house -- is white house chief of staff. despite that his running mate, senator jd vance told meet the press today that the real danger to america it was on the other side of the aisle. take a listen. >> you believe that people like adam schiff and nancy pelosi are more dangerous than russia and china? >> i think what donald trump said is that those folks pose a greater threat to united states peace and security. what he said, and i do agree with this -- what he said is that the biggest threat that we have in this country is not a foreign adversary. >> what is your response to what senator vance had to say? >> i mean, if it weren't so serious, it would be laughable. you think that nancy pelosi and adam shift are more of a threat

to the united states than xi jinping and vladimir putin. that tells you everything you need to know about donald trump and jd vance. first of all, they are terrified of effective, smart, strong women and leaders in the united states. secondly, they embrace and laud and praise dictators like putin with who they want to become closer when they are our most formidable adversaries. these people are dangerous. donald trump hugs dictators. is about to have a rally reminiscent of 1939, cheering on nazi germany. the people are spoken in that rally already have been a litany of attacks on black voters, latino voters, on arab- american voters. i mean, that is the divisive, dark, evil threat the donald trump poses, all encapsulated right there at madison square garden. >> i might add, when you refer to 1939 rally at madison square

garden, that was a nazi rally. you just referenced donald trump is unpopular with new york voters compared to the vice president kamala harris, yet he is holding a rally this evening here in new york, his hometown, at madison square garden which some critics say, given trump's rhetoric, harkens back to that american nazi rally held in the arena leading up toward world war two. the trump campaign has condemned the comparisons. how would you describe the symbolism of trump at the garden tonight? >> i think it is all about rallying a hateful retro america first -- which in the time of 1939, i was in america first rally. this is about recalling a time where white supremacy and affinity for -ism was paramount. and when you have general john kelly sharing with the american

people his direct experience with donald trump, who said he wants his own generals to be like hitler, and that hitler did some good things -- this is, in donald trump, somebody who emulates and admires hitler. and this rally is not at all a subtle attempt to harken back to that. they can deny it all they want. if they were true, they wouldn't have xena phobic racist people standing up and making hateful speeches as they are doing as we speak. and god knows what donald trump is going to say, but he has already been cleared. he views the american people, anybody who may differ with him or oppose his perspective, as being the, quote, enemy within. and his response to that is to promise that he is prepared to use the military of the united states against his domestic opposition. i can't think of anything more

terrifying than that. in particular, when you consider that when donald trump was president, he had plans and intentions to use the military and was only held back by people like kelly and general mattis and general millie. and even bill barr and mike pence. those people won't be there if there were to be a second trump term. and the supreme court has said that donald trump, and any president, can do whatever they want with impunity. these are deadly serious threats, we have to take seriously. we have many, many good reasons to vote for kamala harris, who is smart and wants to unify the nation. she's got programs and policies to help working people with the concerns they have about high cost, housing, groceries, and healthcare and medicare and social security. but donald trump poses a deadly serious threat, and people need

to understand what is at stake. >> ambassador, give us your overall thoughts as we head into its last full week of campaigning. both candidates preparing their closing arguments just nine days out from election day. let's get your perspective on -- >> it's obviously going to be a very close election, al. as you know, i have spent the last several weeks out in arizona, is where i am now, and i will be here through the election. i see a great deal of energy and enthusiasm on our side, and volunteers who are very happy to be pounding the pavement. what it's going to be very, very close, and it's going to be on the ground with everybody signing up to knock on doors, make phone calls, and give it their all. that is how we win this. >> all right. thank you ambassador susan rice. joining me now is keisha lance bottoms, senior adviser to the trump -- walz campaign.

as we mentioned, vice president kamala harris is right now -- just finished delivering remarks at a campaign rally in philadelphia. earlier today, harris also attended and spoke at a black church, visited a local barbershop, and of course, a puerto rican restaurant. what is your thoughts on harris's outreach at this point in the campaign, less than two weeks from election day, pacifically among black voters? >> thank you, reverend al. it's always great to join you. vice president harris is doing everything that she can possibly do to reach voters. she is out pounding the pavement. we have seen some really big rallies across the country. we are all getting things in our mailboxes. we are getting text messages. we have people knocking on doors, people calling people, that's how you run a campaign.

and now it's up to us. we call it the power of one. what is one thing that each of us can do to make sure that we are successful during this election season? obviously, those of us who are registered to vote can go and vote, but also leaning in on those people in our community who are still on the fence, still undecided about whether or not they will even vote. people want to hear from trusted voices, and we are the trusted voices in our own families, in our own communities. so now we got to do our part. >> in your home state of georgia, early voting is on the way. as a saturday night, more than 2.7 million people had already voted in georgia. that is over half the total 2020 turnout. the total turnout in 2020, i might make clear. and today, a new abc news it so pole has harris up 2 points nationally among registered voters, and 4 points among

likely voters. and while that is still within the margin of error, the poll also shows harris is outperforming biden among black and latino men. what are your thoughts on the current state of play in georgia? >> well, we know that we have this record turnout, we still have a ways to go. there is voting going on right now in georgia. we have seen the souls to the polls activities that are happening today. you can early vote through the end of next week. but we have still got to keep pressing. it's great that the numbers are strong, but it's not over until it's over. the vice president has long said that she is running as an underdog, and what we have enclosed poles like this, we know we really have to lean in. what i am encouraged by is that with the surge in voting that we have seen, that we are

really strong, we are neck and neck with republicans, we are seeing something different this time. we are seeing republicans turning out early, which they haven't done in a very long time in this state, but what is encouraging is that over 90% i believe of the registered republicans have already turned out. what that means now is that this is going to come down to who can get the rest of their people out. how many people can we get out through the end of this week? how many people can we get out on election day? >> know this election will run differently in georgia than the last one do to a flood of new voting laws pushed by republicans after 2020. some of those imposing limits on drop boxes and an increase on election audits and a ban on handing out water, which dozens of black students and activists protested last weekend.

what are democrats doing to make sure voters are disenfranchised by these new restrictions? >> we have been encouraging people to make sure that they have checked the registration, to make sure that the registration still is in place. because we know that purges are happening every day in this state. thankfully, reverend al, what we have seen is that republican elected officials have stepped up in our state, and they have said that what this state election board is attempting to do as it relates to having people and count ballots, that that won't happen. or shouldn't happen. and we know that the judicial systems had to step in and say that that would not be appropriate during this election season. but the shenanigans continue. the chance to disenfranchise voters, to make it difficult for people to vote will exist. and what i say to people is that that is the reason we have

got to go out and vote. people are trying to stop us from voting. and we have heard it said many times before that people died for our right to vote, and that is absolutely true. so for us to sit on the sidelines would really be a disgrace to their memories. >> will to harris and trump campaigns have 9 days to make their final pitches to voters. last night, harris campaigned with former first lady michelle obama, one of the democratic party's most popular surrogates. she is expected to deliver a closing argument on tuesday on the national mall in washington, d.c. meanwhile, on friday, trump appeared on an episode of the joe rogan experience. one of the biggest podcasts in the world, and racked up 26 million views in its first 24 hours. right now, trump is holding a rally in his hometown of new york city at madison square garden. your thoughts on the two

campaigns closing out messages? >> people need to listen to what is being said. just for the small bit of the trump rally that i watched today, there was a lot of offensive language. there was a lot of disparaging remarks made about latino voters, about immigrants. it is more of the same. you contrast that with the vice president, who is talking about how she would deliver for the american people, and how she values people in america and how she wants to make things better for people in this country. those of us in the sandwich generation helping to care with aging parents and for children. what she will do in terms of down payment assistance. $25,000 toward first-time homebuyers. how she wants to make sure that women continue to have the right to choose. how they have autonomy over their own bodies. in contrast with that, what we are hearing daily from donald

trump. more insults, more disparaging language about people who are citizens of this country, and it is simply exhausting. it is simply exhausting. and i can tell you now, reverend, i served as mayor while donald trump was president. he did nothing to make our cities better. he made our jobs as leaders more difficult. >> i looked through a little of the madison square garden rally, and what i heard was more profane than profound. keisha lance bottoms, senior adviser to the harris campaign. take you for being with us. coming up, more reaction to president trump's rally in madison squa garden happening right now. we talk to new york's senate majority leader about what trump is up to in a heavily democratic state. when i have customers come in and ask for something for memory, i recommend prevagen.

>> welcome back to politics nation. president donald trump is currently holding a campaign rally in his hometown of new york city at madison square garden where he is also accompanied by his most high- profile supporters and surrogates. joining me now is new york state senate majority leader audra stewart cousins, a democrat who is also the board chair of the democratic legislative campaign committee. thank you for joining me, senator. what message do you think trump is sending to new yorkers, where he is still fairly unpopular in comparison to vice president biden? vice president harris and president biden? >> i have no idea what message he thinks he is sending. the message that new yorkers are going to send is that we are not interested. we know better. we know who he is, we know that the danger that he actually poses when he talked about americans being the enemies from within. we also believe in

freedom. we believe in democracy. we believe in our reproductive freedom. and we want to go forward. we want to do the things that vice president harris and tim walz are talking about. we are invested in believing in the future. that includes all of us. so donald trump could have a rally. i know people are here from all over the country, and i guess that will make him feel good. but when he goes home, we will forget about him, and we will vote for harris and walz. >> it's been more than two decades since the republican won a statewide election in new york, and trump is unlikely to win it now. however, republicans keep fighting to keep control of the house through a series of tight races. trump's presence there could have an effect on turnout for some of the races in new york state. at the midterm elections in 2022, republicans won enough seats in new york to secure a

slim majority on capitol hill. although new york as a state is still democratic, what do you think is driving the shift in republican support there? >> you know, i think the reality is, is that there were congressional seats that were lost. we are focused. we understand that and that down ballot races are important and congressional races are important. the state legislative races are important. every single one. because republicans are trying to install a maga agenda on every single level of government. so they have a forward thinking back pulling agenda that will harm us. so congressional races are going to be won right here in new york state. you know, we are working really, really hard. have a coordinate effort with the state. it is only a difference of five

congressional seat that will give us hakeem jeffries as the speaker. >> a new yorker. >> as opposed to johnson. and we can get this done between new york and california. we will get it done. because again, we are looking for a congress that reflects our values. we are looking for a congress that understands that we are going forward. we are not going back. >> early voting coming underway in new york. i voted today after i preached out, and where democrats are most hopeful about winning back seats in the state with early voting, what message are you hoping voters take away as they had to the polls? >> well, i hope that they understand, especially in new york, as you said, i am chair of the d occ. what we do is try to flip chambers from red to blue. and the reality is, there was no early voting in new york

until democrats took over both houses. and what we are seeing is enthusiasm for the harris/walls ticket. we are seeing people out there in massive numbers. i think new york city has seen the biggest numbers of ever seen. westchester and upstate. so people are coming because they want their voices heard, because they believe in democracy. so i think that we are going to see all over this country the people holding on to democracy using early voting, using their power, using their voice to bring us to a point where maybe we could put maga behind us. i would hope so. certainly if we are able to get the state legislative chambers to have democrats, we will be able to just, you know, say we are not doing this. we believe in democracy, not fascism. and we are going to go forward. >> and are you on the board of the legislative democratic

campaign committee, and you are making their final argument in this election cycle by expanding their ranks and state legislatures to argue that they are vital on defending america's democratic process. it is specifically targeting the legislative majority in pennsylvania, arizona, michigan, and north carolina. talk to me more about this effort to mobilize state legislatures in defense of democracy. >> because we know that state legislatures have a real key role to play. when democrats are in charge, we don't let them mess with the voting system. you know, donald trump was trying to get state legislatures to elect new electorates to do whatever they want. so we understand that we have to be clear about getting the democrats elected. we are fighting to hold onto our majorities in michigan, in minnesota, in pennsylvania, arizona, and new hampshire. just a handful of seats will

give us a majority. and then when you think about a place like north carolina, if we get one seat in north carolina, we will be able to take away her the veto-proof republican majority that they have. >> just one seat. >> just one seat in either house. so i hope that people understand that every level is important. your state legislators, because again, when new york senate had not been democratic for the better part of 100 years, people don't realize that. so we've had the majority for about five, six years now. but what did we do? we decided to codify roe v wade. we did the john r lewis voting act right here, as well as, you know, the eric garner chokehold. we got in free meals expanded for kids. we looked at middle-class tax cuts and continue to count the lowest rate in 70 years.

we've done criminal justice reform. climate change. and here in new york, we have advance equal rights amendment, so when people come, they flip the ballots. they will see prop one, vote yes. because our constitution hasn't been updated in terms of who is protected since 1938. so we could do a lot on the state level, and it is just the power of the people to bring it home. >> as a new yorker, i know you led many of those legislative first. new york state senator andrea stewart cousins. thank you for being with us. just ahead, we will head to north carolina were one republican lawmaker is trying to use the recent hurricanes as an excuse to hand off north carolina selectors to donald trump before votes are even counted.

trump loyalist are still looking for ways to subvert the electoral process to ensure his victory. even if he loses. and this weekend, and this week , and storm ravaged north carolina, one high-profile republican legislature suggested the swing state should hand trump the win even before votes are counted. joining me now to talk about it is north carolina secretary of state elaine marshall, a democrat. now, even before hurricane helene's devastating impact on north carolina, election officials reported concerns about possible intimidation of voters and poll workers by republican poll watchers. now, in addition to that, you have chaired the house freedom caucus, with andy harris, agreeing last week with the far right activist that the state

legislation should consider just giving north carolina electors to donald trump before votes are even counted. his justification is destruction caused by hurricane helene to pro trump counties in the western part of the state. take a listen. >> north carolina, that makes a lot of sense. hey, you got disenfranchised and 25 counties. you know what that vote probably would have been. we go, yeah, we got to convene the legislature. we can't suppress the vote. otherwise, it looks like it's a power play for north carolina. there are people that aren't going to get to vote, and it will make a difference in that state. >> your reaction, madame secretary. >> indeed, it is a power play. it is a power grab. and i do

have to say, reverend al, this is maryland representative harris, not one of our north carolina delegation. in fact, representative patrick mchenry has spoken out against it. not enough have spoken out against it, but thanks to representative mchenry for doing so. it's a blatant effort and a power grab. >> staying with that, secretary marshall, officials in north carolina are still contending with this information about recovery efforts after hurricane helene hit the state, which is hampering those efforts four weeks later. the biggest has been the federal emergency management agency. in one county are due to threats against workers. and just last week, governor roy cooper pleaded again with residence to stop spreading this information as the state confirmed that 98 people have died as a result of the storm. it is safe to say that people

have died because of this misinformation. madame secretary, what responsibilities do lawmakers have to counter this? >> i would say that that is exactly right, and people are not reaching out to fema for the help that they very desperately needed. you are absolutely right. there was kind of a mob that was around one or two counties looking for fema workers, displaying their weapons and threatening. and so, you know, there are very heartbreaking pictures from western north carolina, but also heartbreaking to know that president trump is saying these things and other folks are trashing fema and discouraging people seeking their help. western north carolina is going to need help for a very, very long time. the congressman from that district has said it is not so,

and trump has set the record straight. what is interesting is that none of these folks have called out on president trump to stop it. they are just letting it go. they are saying their part that it is not so, but they are not doing anything to get at the root cause of the problem. that is really heartbreaking when these people need so much help. north carolina is resilient. the mountain folks are resilient, but they don't need to face this kind of a power grab and bad information. >> now to the races in north carolina were more than 2.3 million people have already voted and cast their ballots. former president barack obama was there friday night stumping for harris, who is deadlocked with donald trump in the tar heel state, according to the polls. obama was the last democratic president to win 16 years ago. harris can't hope that she can

be the next one and help democrats in the state, like it's democratic attorney general josh stein, who is pulling far ahead of governor mark robinson in the state governor's race. what is the state in north carolina as you see it, madame secretary? >> actually, with saturday's early voting, 2.7 million people of our 7.7 million have already voted. and 40,000 people actually registered and voted, and that is wonderful. we are getting new people to come on out that are not yet registered in voting. the republican party nominated an entire candidate list of extremist people. mark robinson is only the top one that most people outside of the state have heard about. and so are down ballot on counsel state races are tough. this is a tough state. it is a balance date. but the democratic candidates are making great opportunity

and addressing the needs of people talking about what the state really needs, as opposed to the extremist, who are very interested in trashing our public schools and taking most of the money away from them, or single issue social warriors in positions where that is absolutely not called for. so it is an extremist group of people, not just mark robinson. so we have our work cut out, but i'm thinking we are going to have some very positive results and down ballot races. >> thank you due north carrot carolina secretary of state elaine marshall. from north carolina, we go to nevada with the control of the senate up for grabs. both parties are doubling down on that state. last week, the republican senate leadership fund announced a plan to spend more than $6 million on ads backing their candidates, sam brown, in the final days of the campaign.

democrats have already spent or reserved nearly $40 million to defend senator jacky rosen, who joins us now. senator rosen, thank you for coming on tonight. senator, most of the public voting shows you leading, although the contest may be tightening somewhat. republicans are reportedly keying in on your race, because they believe former president trump is performing well in nevada. what is your sense of things as you travel the state and talk to voters? in fact, i will be in your state on wednesday. what is your feeling as you move around? >> first of all, thank you for having me. i look forward to seeing you on wednesday. what i want to say is this -- nevada is not for sale, and i want everyone to remember that nevada rejected trump twice. and mitch mcconnell and his super pack, they've actually spent about $75 million against me.

they have a failed politician that they moved here from texas just to run for senate. they think they can buy the senate race with the cincinnati bengals family supporting him. we are not going to let that happen. and so the race is about a choice. it's about me versus sam brown. they want someone who's lived here about 50 years, raise their family, bury their parents here, a pragmatic problem solver, someone who is listed as one of the most partisan and effective senators, or do they wanted maga extremist who puts maga first, trump first, and nevada last? that is the choice. if people want to help us in these last few days, just a little over a week to go, they can go to rosen four nevada.com. they have to analyze every vote. nobody knows that better than you. >> reproductive rights will be on the ballot in nevada this year. abortion is already legal in your state until the 24th week of -- until the 24th week.

and this measure would enshrine that right in the state constitution. your opponent has shifted his position on abortion over time. why do you think it is so important for your state to have someone in the u.s. senate who is unambiguous in their support for women's right to choose? >> well, i want to say my opponent has not just shifted his position. he is trying to erase his past position as an antiabortion extremist. when he was running for office in texas and lost, he backed extreme abortion bans. no exceptions for incest. he ran an anti-tourist organization and he said these issues are not negotiable for him. nevada is an overwhelmingly pro- choice state, and women here -- women and men, they know it's about freedom. it's about freedom to go to the doctor and get the care that you need. when you go to the hospital, god forbid, and you have an emergency, that the hospital doesn't turn you away or some

doctor or nurse has to watch you die because mitch mcconnell or sam brown is making those decisions instead of your physician. and so women in nevada -- families in nevada want that freedom for women to be able to make those decisions. i want to let everyone know, make no mistake -- if we don't have a democratically controlled senate, they will institute a nationwide abortion ban this fast, mark my words, no matter what they say. believe me, they are just trying to cover up their position in order to win elections. women, men, everyone -- we can't trust them on this issue. >> nevada is about 30% latino according to the census, and some parts of the country, republicans gained ground with latinos, even as trump makes immigration and mass deportations his centerpiece of his campaign. what do you think latino voters in nevada want to hear from democrats in order to win their vote this november?

>> well, i can tell you in nevada, for the last eight years that i have been in congress -- six years in the senate -- we are very present in our latino community. so many of the folks that work with me, born and raised here from that community. we are always working with everyone to try to figure out what is most important. i will tell you this. our latino community is no different than anyone else. they worry about the big corporations ripping us off at the gas pump, the grocery store. he had the kroger albertson's merger that is going to be really important here, as of echoes through comments going to limit our grocery stores. for us, particularly in las vegas, we have this big corporate investors. they come in and bought up all of our available housing or so much of it and they jack up the prices, they don't take care of the homes. when they sell them, their price gouging us. what people want to hear is how do we help lower cost, how do we expand opportunities like apprenticeships, internships,

two year, four year, all of our schools. how do we boost our tourism? i brought the bright line train to southern nevada. billions of dollars to boost our hospitality industry. our latino community, they worry about their family, their community, education. i opponent -- i heard this from your last guest. might opponent wants to eliminate the department of education. what happens if all of our kids don't have that level playing field that they need to get an education ? there's a lot on the line here in nevada, in our latino communities. i spent a lot of time there, they know me well, and i believe are going to win this one. >> finally, the economy. nevada has many service workers . both presidential candidates have embraced the idea of eliminating taxes on tips. housing prices are on the rise as new residents arrive in your state from other parts of the country. you have proposed new rules for corporations buying residential real estate. how do you see these pocketbook issues playing into who voters

choose in just nine days? >> well, i think it's really top of mind for everyone. there's a few parts to it, and i think you're exactly right. a look at the choice we have, they look at what we've done the last few years. the investments we've made in the hospitality industry, in our broadband, our roads, or public safety. we brought billions of dollars to nevada. to create programs for affordable housing, the savanna program, 500 million. they see the investments we've made, and they understand what we still have to fight for, which is a corporate greed, the oil -- big oil -- and the grocery stores, and the housing costs. we do have bills for that. when it comes to taxes on tips, we have to understand that 25% of our workforce is in hospitality. i chair the committee for tourism and commerce. it's a heavily tipped industry. but we want to put those

guardrails on to make sure every corporate ceo doesn't declare their salary as tipped and that they pay taxes and also that we raise that minimum wage for everyone. we are lucky to have a union, a culinary union, not everybody does. the average server makes only a few bucks an hour. it is wrong. we have to figure it out. >> nevada senator jacky rosen. thank you for being with us. up next, my final thoughts. tho our right to reproductive health care is being stolen from us. i can't believe this is the world we live in,
