laura kelly -- sanctuary cities will and in this state.d for illegal immigrants to continue getting welfare benefits. while we are struggling to pay our bills, we are getting taxpayer dollars to illegal aliens. it is time to stop illegal aliens from getting taxpayer dollars. it is time to put kansans first, not illegal aliens. >> usa. usa. usa. usa. usa. issuere is another big that president trump and i have both been confirmed about, -- concerned about, voter fraud. i drafted the laws and the legislature passed, kansas has the most secure voter registration laws in america. photo id creates trust in our elections. if you need a photo id to cash a check or by the kind of sudafed that works, you probably ought to need one to go cast a vote in an election. proof of citizenship, too. proof of citizenship. votes, it an alien cancels out the vote of the u.s. citizen. and theirats socialist friends, they claim they care about photo cancellation or voter suppression. they don't care about u.s. citizens votes being canceled out. it is time for oth

time is up and move on. >> laura: kelly and, thank you so much. up next, we still have a major question on the table about this ongoing trauma >> laura: is a confirmation vote for a brett kavanaugh looks sad this weekend we can forget what happened at the very start of this whole thing. most importantly, how did reporters get their hands on christine blasey ford's account in the first place? "the washington post" says that she made the initial contact through the anonymous tip line. and only after she had built a rapport with the reporter, she decided to come forward and give her on the record accounts. i want to play this moment during the hearing that really jumped out at me when i first watched it. i don't think it's getting enough attention. ford was asked about the decision to come forward and said this. >> ultimately because reporters were sitting outside of my home, a reporter appeared and my graduate classroom and i must occur for a student. she came up to asking a question and i thought that she was a student and it turned out that she was

democratic challenger, laura kelly, it is astonishing that that could be a tie at this point. york times" reported today that the democratic party of georgia is receiving more than 300 calls a day to their voter protection hot line. today florida attorney general eric holder tweeted, republicans keeping people away from the polls in north dakota, georgia, and now kansas. they are afraid of the people they claim they want to represent. joining our discussion now the executive director of the indivisible project and david corn is back with us. ezra, it feels like we have never seen anything like this, we have never seen it this bad since the early 1960s, before the voting rights act. >> yeah, lawrence, look, you are absolutely right. they are terrified of democracy. and they're terrified they're going to lose if they play fairly. this is why we see them purging black voters in georgia. we see them preventing native-american voters from voting in north dakota and young voters in texas. these are states they've got to win. and instead of adapting to an increasingly young electorat

she said she also voted for laura kelly, who is challenging chris kobach. he's the republican nominee for governor in kansas, and that of course has become a remarkably close race because of kobach's very hard line provisions on immigration. you wouldn't expect in a governorship in the deep red state of kansas would be at risk of going blue this year. >> you were also just in iowa as i understand it, where steve king's attempt for a ninth term now appears to be very uncertain. is that a fair assessment? >> reporter: well, craig, i mean, this is still very difficult territory for any democrat. his western iowa district steve king has represented for quite some time, he's been sort of untouchable from the other side of the aisle, anyway, but he has gotten in some hot water because his -- actually, his colleagues that are responsible for getting him elected to the house, the national republican campaign committee, the chairman condemning his remarks about and tweets that have white nationalist sentiments. and he had on saturday told "the washington post" that

people to vote in this state, is in a tight campaign for governor with the democratic nominee, laura kellycoming down to the wire. the concern about that -- about what will happen to latino voters this year, extends beyond dodge city. there are also the headlines popping up over the last couple weeks in which democratic strategists are airing their concerns that the party may not be doing enough to mobilize latino voters nationwide. particularly in competitive seats in places like texas, arizona, nevada, where democrats are trying to flip blue. and they also have large hispanic populations. if democrats are trying to reach latino voters who they're going to need in order to win those competitive elections, are they doing enough with 18 days to go? joining us now is msnbc contributor, maria theresa kumar. i think the dodge city story partially answers. the question that we -- i think you and i probably have this conversation every two years approximately, why is it that the latino vote is so far under its population. at least in dodge city kansas, it's by design. apparently. is that the cas

vote in his state is in a tight campaign for governor with the democrat nominee, state senator laura kellynsas is coming down to the wire. the concern about that, about what will happen to alatino voters this year extends by the way beyond dodge city. there are also the headlines popping up in the last cup of weeks in which democratic strategists are airing their concerns that the population may not be doing enough for voters nationwide. particularly in states where democrats are actively trying to flip blue but also have large hispanic populations. if democrats are trying to reach latino voters who they're going to need, are they doing enough with 18 days to go. joining us now is president and ceo clarissa lamar. i think the dodge city -- >> you're using my code name. >> sorry about that. so i think the dodge city story -- it probably answers the question, i think you and i probably have this conversation every two years approximately is why is it that the latino vote is so far under its population. at least in dodge city, kansas, it's by design, apparently. but is that the case nationwid

and then there's some exciting outliers in kansas where laura kelly is poised within that margin of victory. also there's nevada, sisilak, within the margin of victory in nevada. anyone that's within the margin of victory is going to be looking at a very strong finish on election night. >> scott walker -- >> he's given you every state and every race. >> scott walker talking about that foxconn plant arriving. maybe voters could call the state of pennsylvania where that plant never arrived. let's talk about florida. the president is going there tonight with rick scott. i want to share what yahoo news had in an article. "on halloween this wednesday rick scott will tress up as a candidate who wants to appear with president trump on the campaign trail." is this about politics? is it about getting the vote out? what are they doing here? >> it's more turnout than anything else. mr. gillum's running a good campaign so far in florida. the president said harsh things about him, calling him a stone cold thief a couple days ago. that should mobilize democrats in florida who may not appreciate that rhet

laura kelly at 43%.about right now, the caravan. one of the reasons we see such mass immigration to the united states because many states are rewarding illegal aliens with welfare benefits and kansas unfortunately is one of them. we give in-state tuition benefits, we give other welfare benefits. we have sanctuary counties. my opponent voted for all these of those things. i obviously will get rid of all three of those things. this is decisive issue. steve: i'm from kansas. donald trump won the state by 20. why is it so close? >> i think you may remember, steve, we have a history in kansas for the past 50 years of alternating between republican and democrat governor administration. steve: absolutely. >> even though our presidential totals are very strong in the republican column, our governor races have always been very close. steve: they have indeed. we reached out to laura kelly's campaign. she declined to appear on the program. ainsley: we would love to talk to her. she is always welcome. wish all the b

. >> president trump: his far left opponent is laura kelly. voted to raise your taxes.ra kelly earned an f -- never even heard of an f -- an f rating from the nra. an f. everybody get out and vote for my friend, kris kobach, on election day, please. >> jon: president trump at a rally topeka, kansas. it is in a dead heat with four weeks to go before election day. joining us now is kansas secretary and candidate kris kobach. the president came to kansas to rally folks behind your candidacy. has it helped? >> well, we'll see soon. the next poll is coming up in the next three or four days should tell us whether president trump produced it. i think it will. i've seen past presidents bush, obama, try to rally voters behind their party's candidates in a mid-term. but their abilities pale in comparison to president trump. he generates such enthusiasm. the crowd in topeka over the weekend. 11,000 people inside. 9,000 people outside. it is extraordinary what he is able to do. i anticipate it will help. >> jon: he generates enthusiasm but also opposition. how do you know that he i

and last night, trump sat down with fox news host and first draft of megyn kelly, laura ingraham. trump has been stoking fears of the migrant caravan for weeks, and last night, he brought some interesting adjectives to the table. >> when you look at that caravan and you look-- largely very, you know, big percentage of men, young, strong. (as trump) >> stephen: "these men are young and strong. i'm talkin' a virile herd of hot, young, spicy beefcakes sweating their way toward our sensitive southern ports of entry. ( laughter ) these-- these-- no-- these oiled up-- these oiled up latino meat slabs are coming here-- they're coming here to steal our "magic mike jobs. we're talking washboard abs con carne and asses so firm, you can bounce a peso off it and get back two 50 centavos." ( laughter ) ( applause ) "hot, ripped bodies, fresh off the meat racks of cancun." and here's the most cunning part: these healthy young men these strong, young, men, are also incredibly sick. >> they are coming in with diseases such as smallpox and leprosy and t.b. that are going to infect our people. >> s

. >> laura: monica chris kelly is here next to explain how this is something we all need to think a little bit about. don't go away. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. >> laura: here is the left's really cool game. if you disagree with the policy or phrase from the president and then you describe a really nasty qualifier to describe it. watch. >> it's a new dog whistle. it's a new welfare queen in cadillac. >> i think nationalism is a dog whistle for white nationalism. >> when he's in the biggest trouble, the biggest dog whistle he blows as the immigration dog whistle. >> president trump: if this other guy is a stone cold, and my opinion, he's a thief. look at the job he's done as the mayor of tallahassee, he's a total disaster. >> book, but is a racial dog whistle. simple. >> laura: how do you call cats?

. >> laura: okay, this was a montage that the media was running with today about you and john kelly. breaking news goes, this is something. an argument between john kelly and cory lewandowski turned physical. cnn has learned white house chief of staff john kelly and president trump's former campaign manager cory lewandowski got into an heated argument in the west wing back in february. >> chief of staff john kelly grabbed warmer senior campaign official cory lewandowski by the caller. >> laura: what happened? >> i'm a senior campaign official, i thought i ran the campaign. can't i get a little credit? john and i have a great relationship. we are both on the trump-pentz agenda, and what may or may not have taken place ten months a quarrel or eight months ago, it's completely irrelevant to where we are today. this is a story that no one talked about. it didn't come to a near brawl by any stretch of the imagination. john and i have had very passionate views about making sure the presence of mike president's team was ready for the midterm elections. this has now gone on and i've been ver

kelly o'donnell at the white house. and our reporter on capitol hill and jonathan allen in washington and laura baron lopez here in new york. good morning to all of you. first to are mike viqueira on capitol hill there. talk about the timeline for this final confirmation vote today. >> reporter: you're right, alex. suspense may be over in terms of the outcome of the final vote we expect around the 5:00 hour here in washington, but the repercussions are still felt both inside the capitol and outside the capitol where protesters continue their activity, expected to be another day of chaos, disorder and protests in and around these buildings on capitol hill as we move towards that final vote. again, expected around 5:00 p.m. we've seen all night those senators, mostly democrats, taking the floor of the senate to voice their displeasure and their anger over the way this has gone. kirsten gillibrand on the floor early this morning and others all night long. brian schatz from hawaii as well. prominently taking up that time, because what happened yesterday at that cloture vote that vote to end debate and move towards today's fina
