responsibilities, he is the vice-president deeply engaged in foreign policy, that if asked to continue to serve in that kind of capacity, he would certainly be willing to do so. and they acknowledge, as i think our reporting confirms, he is on that list. >> but it is kind of a measuring the drapes optics there, which i wouldn't think the clintons would want it all, considering they're still trying to make sure the vote turns out. >> the clinton campaign will say this publicly. the bst looking and saying this is over. they're already looking at appointments for the administration, that sends the exact message they don't want out there. >> let me ask you about wikileaks, it is a steady drip, drip, drip. at this stage of the campaign, 11 days to go, have voters supporting hillary clinton already factored this into their decision? have they come to accept that there are going to be things

going to get satisfactory answers to? >> if you go back to why bernie sanders stayed in well beyond the point he could have become the democratic nominee, it was because of this lingering sense, and chuck todd reminds us everyday, these are the two most unpopular nominee, this is the bucket of issues that makes her unpopular. this sense that there is something shady going on. but this is baked in the cake now. even the people you talk to in battlegrnd voting for her, they are voting her despite these issues. >> if you're fence sitter, and you're being reminded anew, and if trump is relatively on message, that can't be good for clinton in the final moments of the campaign. >> it can't be. the good news for hillary clinton, she has a little bit of wiggle room there. when you look at the polls, if she loses a few points, some of

flirting with the idea of voting for clinton. this is everything i didn't like about the clintons, there is still room for clinton to win. >> let's not forget, same thing on the trump side. people supporting him have already accepted the fact they are going to be things to do with his temperament that they don't like. >> neither one will see a big jump in their popularity in the next few weeks. >> steve, nicole, thanks very much. we move to the tense situation playing out in north carolina,ut with demonstrators who have set up camp on private land to protest the construction of a controversial pipeline. nbc national correspondence department, miguel almager has the latest. >> reporter: police and protesters spilled into the early morning hours, more than 140 people were arrested, and a second bridge was lit on fire. this, as demonstrators promise

pence about that, and other things, in just a moment. federal jury delivered a surprise verdict on thursday. acquitting in the armed takeover of a federal wildlife refugee in oregon. the january standoff lasted about six weeks, brought attention to the long running dispute of control of federal lands. the bundys still face charges at a nevada ranch. vladimir putin sis his country is not trying to race. speaking in a form in sochi, he accused americans of hysteria, calling it a ploy to distract voters. donald trump jr., making an unexpected stop on his way to a campaign in arizona, to help a driver whose car was stuck. and trump is there on the right. he and two other men help push

the woman. >> exciting times on the campaign trail. let's bring in indiana governor, mike pence. governor, good morning. always good to see you. we're really glad to see you, that was scary last night. what -- was it -- >> it was ten seconds of uncertainty, as the plane came down. we just have been so moved by the outpouring of concern, but we're all fine and ready to hit the campaign trail today. responders, thank the people who made the arrester strips also that stopped the plain before it got to the grassy area on to a busy highway here. >> right, it was pretty remarkab remarkable. we were flying low ceiling, but as soon as we landed, we could tell they were trying to brake the aircraft pretty quickly, and we felt the plane fishtailing a little bit, and then it slid side ways, and when we saw the

in the front of the aircraft, we knew we were off the runway. but we're so grateful. it seemed like the first responders were literally around the airplane before it came to a rest. we thanked the pilots as well. my son is a marine corps aviator, and michael likes to say every landing you walkway from is a good landing. >> our campaign reporter part o used to bumpy landings. is that something you've ever been worried about before? >> no, i've never been concerned about it. we've been landing on some pretty short are underways around the country. we have a family in, we feel like we're supposed to be. hopefully serving as vice-president of the united states, after this election, so we're just, we're really grateful everybody is okay,

and like i say, we're wheels up, off to pennsylvania and north carolina. >> you're really happy the president corps is okay? just kidding. i'm glad your wife and daughter are okay too. yesterday, your running mate joked and said maybe we should cancel the election and declare me the winner now. it was tongue and cheek, we should admit that, but coming on the meals of hheels of his pledging that he'll accept the results, should a candidate for president be casting doubt in that way? >> you're absolutely right in saying he was joking about that, specifically, he was talking about the news about obama care, which i can tell you, traveling out west, campaigning all week, people are very troubled by the news there will be a 25% in the average premiums under obama care next year. hillary clinton's plan is to continue to expand it. she would like to bring single

obama care. donald trump and i are committed to repealing obama care and replacing it, with the kind of health insurance reform that gives consumers more choices. >> you are correct -- his joke was about obama care, but in combination with those other statements, should he be casting doubt on the election process? >> he was joking about that. but i -- i do think that now is the time for people to take an opportunity, not only to exercise their franchise to vote, and early voting is underway in many but also, where there are concerns about the process, you know, our elections are administered on a state level, whether you're republican, democratic, independent, there are ways for citizens to be respectfully involved in the electoral process. we want a victory on november 8th, but i want a victory for american democracy as well. >> you mention, we were talking about the rigged system this morning, you have seen polls tightening up and good momentum

tick -- trump/pence ticket. does that relief any concerns about a rigged system? something that donald trump talks a lot about, that somehow the election will be unfair? here you are seeing things going more your way, does that settle those concerns? >> well, you know, when he has talked about rigged system, he has talked as much frankly about how the bias that we see in much of the national media, with all due respect to the both of you. there was a study recently that showed that evening network news, he gotten the majority of coverage in the last few months, but 91% of it was negative. >> the polls are tightening, the proof is in the pudding. >> i think they're tightening because the american people are focusing on how dramatic a choice we have here. a chance between change and status quo. choice between policies that have weakened america's place in the world, stifled our economy, and in donald trump, we have leadership that will rebuild our

did through tax relief, regulatory reform, repealing obama care, and having trade deals that will put the american worker first. >> can you answer in five seconds, would joe biden make a good secretary of state. >> we'll have a lot of good choices if we have the privilege to serve. it is the greatest honor of my life, standing shoulder to shoulder with the man who i believe will be the next president of the united states. >> heading to pennsylvania today. >> pennsylvania and north carolina. >> pennsylvania, could you drive or take the just a thought. governor, thank you, our best to your family as well. >> thank you. let's check the weather with al. >> warm weather to talk about throughout most of the country, could even be records set in between the rockies and into the plains. we're looking at 85 degrees in oklahoma city. san antonio, atlanta, 70s in indianapolis, and that makes its way to the southeast, as we get into the beginning of next week
