we're joined first by senator amy klobuchar, democrat from minnesota. welcome to you, senator .t time to move ahead with the reengagement that president obama began or a time to talk a pause with the death of fidel castro? >> well, i think it's time to move ahead. this has been 50-some years of a failed policy, and both the cuban and american people are really ahead of many of the people in their own government. congress has sat on this for years, and i think it's time to lift the embargo. the death of fidel castro, of course, is not as significant when you it because raul castro, his brother, has been in power for years but even a looming figure during his illness that i think has made a difference in holding us back in trying to opening up negotiations and moving ahead between the two countries. >> yang: isn't it likely president trump will be under pressure to keep some campaign promises? >> i hope the death of fidel castro causes him to pause and take a look at this because you have so many americans now, wanting to visit there or visiting there. you have ag interests down t

i want to bring in minnesota democratic senator amy klobuchar, a clinton supporter.rning, senator. do you have any insight into where this investigation stands? >> well, i don't think anyone does. of course, a letter was sent exactly a week ago, and supposedly, from what we have learned from news reports, they're going through these e-mails, many of which are unrelated to hillary clinton. we have no idea what's in the e-mails but it's been very clear even in the letter itself written by the fbi director that they don't know what's in those e-mails. i think many news organizations have been very careful about saying there's absolutely no proof that there's something that would cause the investigation to be reopened. they have been clear about that, even fox news dialed back some of what they said about leaks that had come out about the investigation. so for donald trump to go on national tv and make comments about a criminal investigation, there's only one person that is actually facing a court trial coming up, and that's donald trump with trump university. where an a

republican nominee held a rally there sunday, hinting his campaign's internal polls put minnesota in reach. senatormy joins me. is it going to be a close race? >> i don't want to presume anything but he did his rally in the middle of the vikings game. that wasn't a good call. secondly, the early voting in minnesota has been tremendous. 600,000 people, double what we saw in 2014. it's 65% democratic, so we're feeling good. let me tell you, it's the power pantsuit nation day out here. i saw a lot of women in pantsuits at the voting booths. >> i want to ask you about breaking news we have. donald trump has filed a lawsuit in nevada alleging that something untward happened, basically, at a polling location in clark county, saying they allowed more voters to vote there than they should have allowed. are you surprised they're already hitting on this rigged system? are you personally worried that people are voting that should not be voting? >> first of all, when you look at the studies that have been done of past elections, that just isn't the case. i was prosecutor for a number of years, oversaw the enfo

and we led the show with a senator from minnesota to talk about the fact that mr.mp is going into minnesota. >> he sounded very worried, by the way. >> he said he was worried. >> sounded very worried. >> i want you to take a listen to part of this ad. >> our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the american people. the establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election. >> it's a populist message, takes on wall street. can you tell me one policy donald trump will enact that goldman sachs will not like? >> they probably would not like the fact that he is going to renegotiate trade deals and bring jobs back from china, mexico, make americans -- keep american jobs here. i can't imagine that a lot of people on wall street appreciate that. they seem to like the way the policies have been going more recently. >> why would goldman sachs not -- i mean, goldman sachs, why would they be against trade deals that benefit the american worker? >> well, they don't necessarily benefit goldma

. >> senator al franken from the great state of minnesota, appreciate your time.nk you, sir. >> thank you, jake. always good to talk to you. >>> donald trump is keeping up a relentless schedule, hitting several time zones to maximize his remaining hours. in reno, nevada, secret service rushed donald trump off the stage. what we learned is a protester tried to raise a republicans against trump sign. that protester was confronted by people in the crowd, tackled and someone in the crowd apparently incorrectly yelled that the protester had a gun. u.s. secret service says no weapon was found, they report no one was hurt. mr. trump returned to the stage not long after and resumed his campaign pitch. joining me now is kellyanne conway. thanks for joining us. >> hi, jake. hi. >> first of all, we're glad everyone is okay. i have to ask. your social media director, dan scovina and a member of trump's family are retweeting misinformation that this was an assassination attempt. it was not, thankfully. should they be spreading this misinformation? >> well, i'm glad you're happ

. >> joining us now for an exclusive interview is democratic senator from minnesota al franken. you for joining us tonight. i really appreciate it. >> you bet, lawrence. >> so donald trump last night, all he said was he is going to rebuild our infrastructure. what he didn't mention is he also wants the biggest tax cut we've ever had. and he is expecting a republican congress that opposes infrastructure spending and has consistently opposed infrastructure spending to cut the revenue democratically, and then spend democratically on infrastructure. what do you see happening there? >> well, it's going to be recognize the see him try to now accomplish everything he promised to accomplish. and that's one thing i favor. i favor rebuilding our infrastructure and putting people to work and having a 21st century infrastructure. it not only puts people to work, but it makes us more competitive and the global economy. that makes a lot of sense. everything else pretty much that he has talked about are things that i'm -- you know, i feel the way you talked about on that ferris wheel. nauseate
