as betsy said, there are a lot of democratic women in the house.will take a while to get us to some sort of parody. we know we will make some inroads the cycle. we have great women running, probably five or seven was a really heavily favored to win already, which puts us in a pretty good spot to start. i do know how deep you want to go on that. i don't know if you want to give it to rebecca, to give her brief, and then we can go into more specific races. betsy: yeah, let rebecca talk a little bit, and then we can watch as the election clock ticks down, and we watch the results coming in. rebecca, give us a little bit on winning for women. rebecca: absolutely. thank you for having us. i think it is events like this that show both sides of the aisle and the momentum that is behind republican women. as you mentioned, i am involved with an organization called winning for women. under that auspice, we have a few organizations. connected pac and then also a super pac. the winning for women action fund. winning for women was founded at the end of 2017 to

betsy: appreciate it. reason is you have with citi and ally stocks that are extremely cheap. there valuation at half book for city and 70% of book for ally relative to the outlook we have for not only earnings this quarter but over a year or does give years sets us up for an opportunity to outperform the group. for the quarter specifically, you have the capital markets that are strong, and with ally we think they are one of the only banks that will be increasing net margins. you have extremely robust ipo market, extremely strong debt issuance, and tightening spreads. it is a set up for the quarter in capital markets is very positive. guy: do you think that continues? the credit origination market looks like it has had a strong run into the election. i'm wondering if that can be sustained beyond it. the ipo market feel similar. everybody rushing to get the ipo done before the election. postelection, will that still be there? : it is as 8 -- betsy great question. we think q4 can still be strong. there are nu

betsy, this is your fourth company you have taken public via spac.e you been doing this for, what, four or five years. well ahead of the game. why this one? tell us about paya and why you picked it as your latest and greatest. >> thank you, liz, very much. and paya is the latest and greatest. we were very much taken by paya as an excellent company that had chosen verticals that were underpenetrated, meaning they were very good but they had not yet been developed, and which were full of software which required exact expertise and knowledge. paya had chosen education, government services and a variety of other verticals which are very what we call sticky, which means that the customers once they are integrated into the payment system, do not -- liz: as you look at this -- >> it provides an opportunity -- sorry. liz: i was going to say, as you look at the performance today, you as somebody who basically grooms these companies and helps bring them public, you are not looking at just today. i understand that. but can i ask you about the spacs that you hav

betsy: right, everybody has their jersey on. julie: it is hard. anything she says, it is going to be accentuated one way or the other depending on how you feel going into it. it is hard to run for office. it is hard to run for any office, let alone, the highest stage in the land. nick sally would say everyday i wake up, 50% of the people love me and 50% of them hate me. it is hard. this is a hard life. we joke about the candidates often. say or do they can what they say or do. thes a tough job and it is first conversation i have with any candidate in front of me. you seem really normal, why do you want to put your family through this? do you do the tough talk to candidates or are you trying to actually persuade them or realistically give them a sense of what is i had? -- ahead? julie: i do both. my only goal is to make candidates as good of candidates as they could possibly be. i've had tough conversations with a couple of candidates, after they got on the race, i told them, you are not going to win. this is not good, this is a waste of your resou

of changing what education looks like if we get somebody like elizabeth warren in there instead of betsye chance to change what criminaljustice looks like if we put mickey mouse in there rather than barr orjeff sessions. you know, we got the ability to change a lot of these judges who are appointed federally by the president throughout the united states, who perpetuate mass incarceration, who perpetuate all the problems with the systems where we know that disparity there, we know what the folks injail look like. we know where they come from. so, those are my hopes for the election. why are you doing this?! until then, this is what must be overcome. before george floyd in 2017, there was muhammad muhaymin here in arizona. the unarmed black man died after being held down by four police officers, one of whom put his knee on his neck, for close to eight minutes. i cannot breathe! no—one was disciplined. and you're only hearing about this case now because of the controversy over george floyd. and it was in this area where he was pinned down and was clearly heard to say, "i can't breathe.

one of them, betsy, also disputed the fact that the president hadn't taken the virus seriously.t you see the president doing is more than downplaying masks, i think you see him upplaying freedom. he believes people should choose to wear them. well, the president repeatedly telling people that it's only a small proportion of those who get the virus who are badly affected is part of the reason why many of his supporters are now telling us they feel relatively relaxed. there is, of course, no way of telling the severity of symptoms that the president will now experience — and how badly, then, the election could be appended. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in virginia. it's well known that the older you are and the heavier you are, the more at risk you are of having serious complicatons. our medical editor, fergus walsh, looks at the risk to president trump's health. donald trump has several factors which raise his risk profile for coronavirus — his age, weight, and being a man. at 7a, he has often insisted how healthy he is, despite a love of fried chicken and burgers. age is the biggest

my daddy's name was james and my mama's name was betsy. it seems like wherever i went, people would talk and i heard their names and i thought about my name. after new york state passed a law in 1827 saying i could be free, i moved to new york city, started to work there. i stayed in a commune on the outskirts of town. i didn't like the goings-on there, so i said, god, tell me what should i do? god said, bell, be about your father's business. i packed everything i could in a knapsack and i left new york city. i left with two dollars in my pocket and a song in my heart. i moved along and i thought about it. i said now that i am a free woman, i need a freewoman's name. what should i call myself? so i thought about it. god told me to move up and down the countryside to preach about the ills of sin and the meanness and wickedness of slavery and god told me to speak up about women's rights. in the valleys and hills and mountainsides, spread the word of the gospel. i thought about that. the people in the bible sojourned the countryside. i'm abou

betsy: julie, why do you think there has been an uptick? do you think 2018 was a wake-up call? or what are the other reasons for the definite increase in republican women running in this cycle? i think it was a definite wake-up call. a lot of republican women saw democratic women get elected. hello,es. obama: florida! it is good to be back in florida. can everybody please give it up for george? what an outstanding young man! senior atnumber one miami northwestern come up a perfect gpa. let me just say that when i was george's age, i did not have a perfect gpa. whatever markable young man. we are so proud of him. that is the future. give it up for your representative, frederica wilson . we have also got debbie, debbie wasserman schultz, and others in the house.

betsy devos was also here. barack obama is also coming to michigan tomorrow.that the former vice president and the former president have appeared together this campaign cycle. jill biden was here in michigan earlier in the week. both sides working very hard for votes already coming in. most of them being dropped off at different clerks' offices or in drop boxes. the state says that some 5 million michiganders will vet in this election, that two-thirds of the vote will be in and those candidates trying to change the minds of people now and who will vote election day. >> miguel marquez reporting. to pennsylvania where mail-in voting has hit a snag in one county. what's the issue? >> reporter: wolf, we have a little bit of a mystery around some missing ballots in butler county, pennsylvania. earlier this week officials said they sent out around 40,000 ballots and just over 21,000 returned. they've received 10,000 phone calls for people saying they applied and haven't received them. people could be calling more than once so they're not sure how many might be missi

president, you can't blame betsy devos. no, this is entirely on you. and your absurd executive orders banning racial sensitivity training for all government agencies and contractors. you recently took to twitter to spout your own uninformed take on the order your handlers no doubt prepared for you to sign, claiming that you're banning the indoctrination of, quote, government employees with divisive and harmful sex and race-based ideologies, end of quote. that statement reveals your complete ignorance about what these trainings are for because systemic racism and sexism ensures that american adults have already been indoctrinated with harmful sex and race-related ideologies. those of white supremacy and patriarchy and in your second tweet you imply that anyone who doesn't completely embrace your version of america and your own embrace or at least tolerance of white supremacy somehow doesn't love the country. the unfortunate implication is clear. you claim that being anti-racist is anti-american, which means you believe that racism is inherently american

what's reported to be called like symptoms and friends space tributes to the history teacher of summer betsy who was killed outside his school last week we'll hear from our correspondent in paris about the latest developments in the investigation. and while iraq is great to have you along for france's has said that he supports civil union lost to protect the rights of same sex couples he made the comments in a new documentary about the pontiff titled francesco which premiered today at the rome film festival on the statement marks a decided shift for the roman catholic church the film also tackles other controversial issues such as racism climate change sexual abuse and relations between christians muslims and jews. let's get you more on this breaking news there with our religious affairs correspondent martin again martin what did the pope say exactly. and so essentially there were 2 parts a statement a circulating that's a smudge as we have seen so far as how this part as you mentioned off a documentary in which i imagine there will be a lot more to look through but essentially the 2 element

betsy writes, just after everything started shutting down, i had to make the very difficult decisiond to be at my mother's side when she took her last breath. i could not go to the funeral. the services were held by zoom. so far my husband and i who are both in high-risk categories have staid well. as a retired nurse, i've been able to respond to those who are uninformed about what best practices are and why. education is the best weapon we have against this virus. a lot of you said voting is the honorable thing to do. stella writes, e-mailed my ballot and by the evening of the same day i received this text message. this is from the registrar of voters. the post office has received your ballot and it will be delivered to us soon. i think this is the height of transparency. i urge everyone to vote with the safety and health of everyone in mind. vote by mail. it is fraud-free. thank you so much for sharing your stories. e-mail at any time theweek @msnbc.com. >>> i'll be anchori ining cover tomorrow through thursday on our streaming channel nbc news now. you can watch on our app peacock

another super pac, betsy devos' family has a major super pac dumping in money.e dumping in record amounts of money trying to beat me in these last few weeks because they know if i don't hold this seat, it's maybe difficult for us to take the majority in the u.s. senate. so certainly this is a key battleground state, and michigan will go down to the wire. poll numbers tighten as we saw in 2016. it will likely happen again, which is why we have to be fighting every single day. >> democratic senator gary peters of michigan. senator, appreciate your time this evening. thank you very much. >> great to be with you. thank you. >>> coming up, what does the gop's future look like with the rise of never-trumpers and republicans who say they no longer recognize their party? we'll discuss it with former rnc chairman michael steele. >>> plus we'll take a look at the questions that you would ask the vice presidential candidates ahead of wednesday's debate, assuming that the debate happens. >>> but first, i know what's going to happen next, the headlines with richard lui. >>>

betsy devos? she's going to be rich. she's already rich.th, quick question -- >> she's already rich. kennedy: how happy are you tonight that you're not jeffrey cuban? [laughter] >> oh, my god. i am wearing pants. you can't really tell here. yeah, too bin is now a verb officially, and and we should all not be multitasking. let's focus on the task at hand and get it done. the thing about trump that's hard for him, sorry for the language, is that 2016 -- [laughter] you can't repeat that. he was the outsider. he was the brick that we threw through a window. he can't be the brick anymore. he's the window. kennedy: all in all, he's just another brick in the window. panel returns later, so much more to discuss. in fact, the first -- the final presidential debate is scheduled for this thursday. the trump campaign spokesperson says they're already raising a ruckus. today bill stepian sent a letter to the commission on presidential debates, or as he's calling them, the biden debate commission, urging them to make foreign policy a focus. and the presi

today alone, you have joe biden in town, eric and tiffany trump, betsy devos in town. the president has been here once this week. the vice president was here yesterday. the president will be back friday, tomorrow. and joe biden and barack obama will hold an event here saturday. the first time they hold an event in michigan together. if you want to get your vote in, officials say, this is the way to do it. drop off the absentee mail in vote now at a drop box across the state or county clerk. that's the best way to get it in. they expect 5 million to vote in this election. they expect two-thirds of those votes to be in by election day. another hard fought state, wisconsin, where we find our colleague, bill weir. bill? >> reporter: migel, breaking news from wisconsin comes from the republican party who says that someone with knowledge of the campaigns inner workings hacked into the system using a fishing scam, stole $2.3 million. they're working with the fbi, says the statement. both candidates come here tomorrow, a state on fire with covid-19. another 3800 new cases, 45
