mccaskill: -- a.g. hawley: rather than grandstanding or rushing to a microphone or trying to score cheap political points, what we did was actually work with the communities affected, we sat down with community leaders from across the state and said, what needs to happen in this report, what needs to change? one thing that we need to see is where we get the data, where these folks are from, get even more information, so that's what we did and we are going to continue to do that, not so we can take political credit but so we can continue to keep people safe. moderator: i have another question from a majority voter -- a missouri voter. >> it's a question about climate change. despite warnings from the scientific community that we must decrease the effects of global warming, many corporations oppose federal law which regulates the businesses. what should we do to protect the planet without sacrificing our ability to be economically competitive? tim, thank you for your passion for this issue. i really, real

first, senator mccaskill. mccaskill: it is just so weird. that the president throws out there we will give you a 10% tax cut before the election. congress isn't even in session. it is just bizarre. should the tax cuts for middle class families be permanent? yes. republicans had backwards -- they make you rich people's tax cuts permanent and middle-class tax cuts temporary. i would like to flip those. i would like them to do maybe a little bit of a haircut on some of the cuts that went to the very wealthy in this country. i know that tax cuts have not produced what they promised. it has not paid for itself. our deficit is up and our revenues are down in a strong economic climate. and it has not produced wage growth. that $4000 everybody was promised has not happened. in fact, wage growth in the third quarter of this year compared to the third quarter of last year, before the tax cut is , actually down 1.8%. the people i talk to every day around missouri, they are not feeling it. that is why they quit advertising talking about the tax cut. it

mccaskill.'m delighted to have my wife with me today. home,e two little boys at blaze, who is five, and who is very. we love you, if you are watching. -- who is 3. i am very concerned about the culture of confrontation and outright violence we are seeing across the country. it is concerning to see politics come to this level. i have never attacked my opponent personally, i am not going to. this is not about us. this is about the people of the state of missouri. when you hear leaders of the democratic party like hillary clinton saying you cannot be civil with people you disagree with, eric holder and other democrat leaders saying the new democratic party kicks people they disagree with, when you see these mobs popping up in the wake of the brett kavanaugh hearings, the screaming and shouting, this is terrible. this is not the united states of america, this is not civil discourse. i'm disappointed the democrat party has embraced this. i condemned that. i would hope senator mccaskill would do the s

mccaskill. absolutely we should. e should use any tool at his disposal to make sure our border is never overrun. border patrol agents have endorsed me. i have voted for more than $70 in board security money including more money for the wall. that it is elieve essential that we secure the border with technology, with ore barriers with more personnel, way back in 2010 i more border for security personnel and technology and reconnaissance drones so yes, first secure the second, we've got to modern nice and use technology claims heard lum more promptly. it takes forever. they are still using paper files, we have less than 400 junction doing the work. we need to move the embassy into mexico so we can decide those at islelium cases before the our border.n get to asylum cases should be heard and legitimate ave asylum claims should take advantage of our laws in that regard. needs to go else back to their country as quickly as possible. >> mr. hawley? >> absolutely. think the president needs to take what

senator mccaskill is running against josh hawley.askill doesn't have a lot of support among african-americans. why is that? >> i'm not certain why the support is not as strong for mccaskill. when i cast my vote, i'm speaking personally, i'm voting against the alternative in this case. in my case, the alternative is just unacceptable. what's problematic and a challenge for the democrats is allow to leverage that, i guess that referendum against trump's racial agenda to motivate people to get out an vote. he's given us quite a bit to think about. his attacks on colin kaepernick. his charlottesville fiasco and his attack on private institutions. i think those should be motivating factors. while it's a challenge for people like mccaskill to leverage those and get people out to use those in a way that motivates them and does not alienate white voters. i understand it's challenge but it should be motivating for democrats. >> antonio, you wrote an op-ed in north sider. st. louis is still a two party town. white democrats versus white democr

mccaskill is trying to bill herself as a moderate, which he is not.nd project veritas is exposing herself as anything but. we got this tape exclusively and as always wees report and you decide to, and it features mccaskill and some of her campaign staffersen talking about the centrist policies on guns and impeachment and more. that's not exactly what she's campaigning on. take aot look. >> if we have the kind of year i think we might have, i think we could actually be in a position that we could get votes on the stuff on the floor. if we could get 60, mcconnell knows that, it goes to the house, and it's awkward with all those house members are total nra folks. >> so you would be on board? >> of course.f >> i voted for most of those things before. >> for a band? >> oh, yeah. >> she doesn't go out and openly support, and like her ability to get elected. >> sean: we saw this last week in tennessee with former governor phil bredesen. now we see it with senator mccaskill. we reached out to her office for comment. guess what, they are not responding. a bran

running against claire mccaskill. this week project veritas.com exposing mccaskill for just how far left her views are in a series of undercover videos including, of course, her extreme views on gun control, her campaigns plan to lie to the good people of missouri. we are not going to really do this but we just have to act this way. and present mccaskill as a moderate, which she has not. she says she's just like barack obama. take a look. >> on board with this? >> of course. i voted for most of those things before. >> she doesn't openly go out and support groups, like other groups that are related to that because that could hurt, people hurt her ability to get elected. >> saying that you think she's more progressive than she lets on? >> yes. >> a lot more open-minded to like alternative routes to things? you can be open about that. >> by not? >> because you completely isolate moderate republicans. >> is like we have to lie to get elected. >> essentially. essentially buried >> sean: according to a new at it looks like

what is happening with claire mccaskill.w we are forecasting a one-point win for claire mccaskill, and i would point out these are one of the states that has not been polled a lotte recently. >> this is very different than what political insiders are saying. >> and one reason why holly could beat mccaskill. when claire mccaskill won, and two years later john mccain won by 1.1 percentage points, and now jump ahead to 2016, donald trumps won by 19. i think there's little trend here. i would say this is a state that is going quickly to the right and the question is whether claire mccaskill has enough to get over the finish line. >> why isn't there recent polling in missouri? >> media organizations are pulling back from poling was of 2016, and the fact that we don't have as many media organizations and a lot less funds going to them are less public. >> some will say wait a second, we thought mccaskill was supposed to lose six years ago, but -- >> yeah, todd akin made remarks about rape, and he was one of the least popular politi

we have a call out to senator mccaskill who has yet to respond.ide. how do you see it all playing out? >> we have a lot of momentum on our side. we just had sin tore lindsey graham with us here in the state today. huge crowd to hear about the significance of the kavanaugh hearings, the attempted smear by the democrats and claire mccaskill. people are still live individual about that. they are just livid about how things have gone. >> charles: are there state-specific issues you are focused on? >> in senator mccaskill's 12-year records, she hasn't been independent. she is voting with chuck schumer 90% of the time, against the tax cuts, against justice gorsuch, against justice kavanaugh. she hasn't heard anything the people of my state told her in 2016. that's going to be the decisive thing. >> charles: what did they tell her that she missed? >> they told her to work with the president and support an agenda that will rebuild this country and make america strong again. she has voted against this president on judges, voted against him on a border wall

i want to start with you since we just wrapped up that claire mccaskill interview.she's moving more to the right, in an interview that we just finished. >> absolutely. she's trying to appeal to some of those same white ready working-class voters that ended up supporting the president because in this interview she's sees it as reaching out to those voters that may have voted republican at the top of the ticket in 2016, but who have known her and voted for her before. she's hoping they will vote for her again and that political environment in missouri hasn't completely shifted under her feet. >> bret: scott, for governor walker here, he has been a major target for democrats for years and years. this one seems like he's really in the cross hairs as far as trying to get democrats motivated. where is the ground game here? >> this is a first time governor walker has been on the ballot with an incumbent president, that's a dynamic he's never faced before. but he also built an incredible get out the vote effort, as referenced, let him get in the winds for the last three yea

i think missouri is going to the republican mccaskill has been ranked as most unpopular senator up for four months in a row according to morning consult 53% of voters in state want her gone, and keep in mind, trump won missouri big i think by 19 points and remains pretty popular in the state meanwhile mccaskill opposed tax cuts and border wall. so you know, i think she's up hill battle here, and it will all come down to mobilization in that state. >> quick rob and a 56% approval rating in missouri, that could be trouble for mccaskill as well. >> she's saying that we need to look at more where he's coming from financially with the deficit increasing things like that instead of just criticizing himg. i wish more democrats would get away from just criticizing donald trump. on just everything in general, and look at this specifics about spending and things that might appeal to more moderate because that's how we can win elections. with democrats. two races to watch as well as what's happening in arizona, nevada, kristin robyn thank you very much and sure we're going to have you back three

featuring senator mccaskill and josh holly, where does that stand? guest: very close. i interviewed josh hawley, who is probably one of the leading challengers. that race is that and it. -- is neck and neck. not for claire mccaskill, it is likely you will vote for one of her challengers as an independent. wley has a legal background. he has been running ads on kavanaugh. a closehawley -- it is race. i think he has a slight advantage. host: and in indiana? guest: another very close race. these are the tossups when it comes to the senate. slight lead, but aun has a lot of money in the race. host: iowa is where our next call is from, republican. caller: good morning. i was calling to gauge your guest's opinion on the iowa races, especially the senate race between senator bloom and -- senator blum and abby finkenauer. guest: the upper midwest is a problem for republicans. iowa is a big example. the governor's race is looking like it is leaning towards the democrats. things have gotten so bad in iowa that problem -- that rod blum is not getting any republican help for his r

mccaskill: i have to disagree. i think you have to come to this job deciding whether or not you think the number of delivery days if it can be cut back. whether the universal service obligation means the same service for someone in a rural community as it does for someone who lives in an urban area. i don't see how the service obligation is universal if it as one standard for people in the city and another standard for those in the country. reconsider you to your uncertainty in that area and determine what is the definition of a universal service obligation? is a different depending on where you live? i think that is frankly hard to reconcile and i am disappointed that you do not at this point are not willing to express that clearly. mr. kubayanda: i do think rural and urban communities need to receive the same level of service. i think that is clearly an element of universal service. what that service looks like is something i would work with you and my fellow commissioners to look at closely. i think we need to f

mccaskill was able to win.lie, i know you know this from paying attention to her in washington, she is -- she's got a fierce personality. she's been underestimated before and she's come out on top. but this race is really tough. some recent polling shows that josh hawley, the attorney general, is currently just barely edging her out although it seems to be within the margin of error at this point. so mccaskill has really been frustrated by some of the late turns over the course of the past few weeks, particularly the kavanaugh hearing. she was very frustrated with how the leadership of her party handled some of that, with how it affected her race. she was also frustrated by the government shutdown earlier in the year, when democrats said that they, you know, wanted to stop the border wall funding and it caused quite a public flap. it was mccaskill along with some other red state colleagues who pushed back and ultimately saic this. we're in kansas city, missouri. we're going to be focused on suburban women. it w

you have mccaskill getting exposed, raising g.o.p.r martha mcsally while she's continuing to gain momentum in arizona, following shocking comments from her democratic opponent kristin cinema. back in 2010 she called arizona the meth lab of democracy. in 2011 she called arizonans crazy, now she wants their votes. in 2003, she even suggested it's okay for americans to go fight for the taliban. she promoted events at arizona state university with a lawyer who represented the blind shake. she organized an antiwar rally with self-described witches and invited them. tonight even more past comments are continuing to surface in 2011, she's comparing her state she wants votes arizona to lindsay lohan, take a look. >> people know what's happening in arizona, were not saying this in a good way we are kind of in a lindsay lohan famous way. not good. >> sean: at least her campaign responded, they are dismissing it as a desperate attack. last night during the debate, mick sally called out cinema for her disgusting remarks and she didn't hold back.

last month in the missouri senate race democratic incumbent senator claire mccaskill was leading by 3 points against her gop rival josh holly, now the race is tied and even before brett kavanaugh and doctor ford testified mccaskill had already said she would vote against brett kavanaugh and among the 28% of voters who say they could still switch candidates almost twice as many say voting against brett cavanagh would make them less likely to support mccaskill. and north dakota democratic senator heidi heitkamp is still undecided but she is quickly losing support of women and is running 12 points behind a republican challenger kevin kramer and if heitkamp vote against brett cavanagh twice as many say they would be less likely to vote for her. and tennessee were gop senator bob corker is retiring republican marsha blackburn has a 5 point leader with democrat and former tennessee governor phil brett is in, blackburn's leaders within the margin of error but is up from last month but we should note brett a synapse voters are but more loyal, 92% of democrats back him versus 82% of republican

mccaskill and hawley are neck and neck. president trump is headed there twice in the next six days.. dana bash just got back from missouri. here is her report. >> reporter: democrat claire mccaskill in search of every possible vote to send her back to the senate. >> we are realistic about this. it is not that anybody believes i will be able to win jasper county. we can win a few more votes. it's close. >> reporter: in many ways it is a political miracle this two-term senate democrat even represents this red state president trump won by nearly 20 points. she first won in 2006, a democratic wave year and again in 2012 after g.o.p. opponent talked of legitimate rape. like many democrats in tough races she tries to stay focussed on health care and preserving obamacare's protections for preexisting conditions. her g.o.p. opponent says he supports them, too, but he is part of a lawsuit that can strike down those protections. he is casting the race as a clear choice. >> we don't like the washington establishment. we think there needs to be a shake up on both parties. this campaign is reall

my comment is on claire mccaskill and josh holly. time trump comes to st. louis, he always runs to the county? he never comes to st. louis city , never comes to st. louis county. he always campaigns for his people. we would like to hear some of his rhetoric that he lies. at another thing that i think is very wrong -- for him to sit up and tell lies about this thing about the health care. backows he does not anybody. he does not care about anybody unless you are rich. i think this is a terrible, terrible thing, and a terrible way to be. i will always vote for mccaskill . she is the only one that goes to places she is not welcome. he does not go to places he is not welcome. he stays right in the area amongst his own people, spilling his rhetoric. thank you. host: don't freeze, virginia is next, hakim, independent -- dumfries, virginia is next, hakim, independent line. caller: my concern regarding the racial conversation -- only problems i have come to understand as an immigrant is that most of the time when the election is coming up, suddenly you have republi

in missouri, critical swing vote claire mccaskill is a virtual tie with her republican challenger josh joining me now, guy benson, cohost of "benson and harf," and democratic strategist. good to have all of you here. let me start with you. what would you be advising joe donnelly at this point at heidi heitkamp? >> to vote for the interest of their state and represent their state. that is what they are doing. claire mccaskill came out against brett kavanaugh because his decisions gave a clear path for more special interests, unreported money into the political process. jon tester for montana opposed judge kavanaugh because he was considered a privacy issue. >> martha: i'm talking about donnelly and heidi heitkamp, they have not decided. >> they have to watch the fbi report to see what it says, they have to look at his decisions and how it impacts their state for the bottom line of the entire discussion is, this is not going to be the deciding factor in the states. the reason in these red states democrats are within the margin of error across the board is because of donald trump. the fac

claire mccaskill running for re-election. she has raised $30 million. her republican challenger on only $8.5 million. this has been the closest thing to a tie we've seen. that's the numbers in texas, same thing. there's missouri. basically you average the polls together and mccaskill even down a tick there despite that fund-raising imbalance. texas the most dramatic example. there was all that money we saw beto o'rourke raise and report. it's a total of $62 million to $28 million for cruz. we had another couple of polls come out today still showing cruz ahead by a pretty solid margin. i guess the question, tharon, is that money getting democrats what they think it will? >> yeah, absolutely. listen, it's a part of the blue wave. one of the indicators that my republican strategist friends indicated was that you can tell by the amount of small donations to really see the momentum for the party. i just think that we have not only mastered but owned the fact that we have the momentum of the american people and we're seeing it with our small donors. now, one

rob: josh holly is challenging mccaskill for his senate seat in a tight race. his message clear as the caravan of migrants inches closer to the border. >> a lot of bad people, a lot of bad people in there, people that are in gangs. if they want to come into the country they have to apply. millions of people coming in are applying. we have a strong border. this caravan, they are wasting their time. rob: the pentagon ready to deploy 5000 troops, the white house is mulling an executive order but would that stop the caravan or would the president in this situation need approval from congress. jillian: legal reporter alex porter, thank you for joining us. >> the short answer, authority to take matters into his own hands. and traditionally courts, and immigration matters in times of national security risk. and this administration -- we saw a little bit of that. in regard to the number of people coming across the border and the number of caravans and the fact more will start pending this way. rob: they take this to a liberal court like they often do to fight it. 50,00

let's look at key races in place specifically, let's start with the missouri senate race, claire mccaskilly, donald trump won the state of missouri by 19 points in 2016. >> not just the brett kavanaugh hearing but the fact that here you have somebody in claire mccaskill, a career politician, she has gone to the left on issues like obamacare, she wants to raise taxes on missouri. there is a really good candidate in josh holly, the attorney general who cleaned up state government, reformed state government and you see the effect of the brett kavanaugh hearing and that claire mccaskill has become an out of touch korea liberal politician. heather: we want to talk about the north dakota senate race where the president won by 36 points. senator heidi heitkamp said she would be a no vote for brett cavanagh. did that sealed her fate? >> i think her fate was sealed over the summer. in addition to your poll we did a poll where we saw her down by 10 points. i think she is auditioning for the next democratic presidential administration. she is trying to figure out a way to ingratiate herself of democr

when i talked to mccaskill the other day, she was a hard no. she is not even in play in this matrix, kennedy. kennedy: i wonder what that does to her race. you would think if murkowski and collins go into the yes column it might make it safe for her which could solidify her support with independent to conservative voters in her state. but i guess not, clare. you know best, girl. >> these votes, especially a vote that's so super charged. i have been around capitol hill a long time. senators don't say i better vote this way because it will help me in my reelection. they really do vote their conscience. if claire mccaskill or sue and collins said i -- or susan collins says i can't vote for this guy, that's how they will cast their ballot. joe manchin is the one democrat in play. susan collins and missa miss --a murkowski. you go from 100 senators to 99. 51 republicans to 50. so they need to keep all of those republican senators together just to get to 50 votes, unless they get joe manchin involved here. for a long time we have not thought joe manc

would you rather be ted cruz or bob then thmenendez. >> menendez. >> mccaskill or blackburn? one's harder. ah -- ah. >> that tells you everything right there. and if you have to have -- i only can give you the results of one race on election night, what state, u.s. senate race would you want that would help you figure out who got control? >> arizona. >> jennifer duffy, the best in the business. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> happy october. >> yes. >> all right. up ahead, michael bloomberg, the battle of the billionaires. it? noooo... nooooo... yeeeesss... quick, the quicker picker upper! bounty picks up messes quicker and is 2x more absorbent than the leading ordinary brand. hey look, i got it. bounty, the quicker picker upper. you may be learning about, medicare and supplemental insurance. medicare is great, but it doesn't cover everything ...only about 80% of your part b medicare costs. a medicare supplement insurance plan may help cover some of the rest. learn how an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company might be the

mccaskill has hung on to that seat for two terms now.s particular case, you have a state which is very sympathetic to president trump which roy blunt put president trump -- both of them won that state quite handily in the 2016. josh holly is a charismatic candidate. he's fully hooked himself to the president. the president has embraced him. this is going to be a toss up, but it is one in which many of the experts here in washington are looking at holly and think he has a very good chance of winning that race. jon: mccaskill has made some missteps during this campaign, you know, getting caught flying around in a plane when she was supposedly doing a bus tour of the state, that kind of thing. >> yes, that's right. she's often had some scandals surrounding her, her private airplane travels. the holly campaign has painted her out of touch with her large wealth. while she says she's working for a workers party and even in some cases using president trump's rhetoric whenever it comes to defending american jobs and that, but she has not voted f
