a new npr kavanaugh, and new npr and maris poll is showing that 80% of the americans consider the midterms to be very important, and what is also striking is that it is a 12-point jump from july. and eddie is an msnbc contributor and professor at princeton university and joining me now, and so does elise jordan and kimberly atkins can, the bureau chief of the "boston herald" and not used to having you there in the flesh, because you are usually in the box. so i will start with you, since you travelled the farthest, and this idea that the judge kavanaugh, and the nomination and the fight over the report that this might energize republicans going into the midterms, and how can that be? >> that is what i have been hearing for quite a long time for the republicans of why it is so crucial to stick with brett avenue and not abandon him or cut bait -- brett kavanaugh, because they should not abandon him or cut bait, because they wanted to see him as falsely accuse canned of something and see it as democratic smear whether it is the case or not, and it is a big motivation particularly coming out

i was listening to npr, there will be a story about this on the news, if you listen to npr, all things considered they are doing a whole segment about guestworker programs in the aging population, they are not young. 90s men are older, what this means to both of the workers, and what is the commitment they have made? do they need to keep hiring them year after year because they feel commitment or do they simply go to less expensive workers? this is what happens in new york, she argues there is a move from guest to undocumented workers. today, the farms generally hire undocumented workers rather than guestworker programs. this is not across the board but it is bureaucratic, requires paperwork, and you have to pay people at a particular level so many farms have turned to undocumented workers, both populations are vulnerable, both have limited ability to advocate for labor. and they are able to use the populations in concert as they work and need their crops to be picked. some of these are sometimes -- if i was a u.s. citizen i could ask for more money. they need to walk off the job any t

swing house districts, those suburban women, do they make a difference. >> tamara, over there at the npr, you must have noticed immigration has made a last-minute, but big entry into the issues we've been discussing. we see where the republicans want to go with it. scary stuff, about thousands on their way north. how does it cut for democrats? >> well, for democrats it is not a top priority issue. there is this pew poll out this week that talked to a lot of voters and found that immigration is the number one most important issue for republicans. it's a really salient issue with republicans. and for democrats, of the 18 possible issues listed, illegal immigration was their lowest priority. it was at the very bottom. so president trump is not talking to democrats. he is not talking to independents with this issue. he is talking to base republicans, the kind of people who are going to his rallies, the kind of people who he needs to get out and vote. i mean, so many of these districts that are toss-up districts are places that he won by a significant margin. really not that long ago, just in

white house correspondent for npr, tamara keith joins us. credit and then not take blame. it's politics. why are we even bothering with this? the president always gets blamed in the mid-terms, always. >> it is a fact of life that mid-terms are about the president of the united states, especially the first mid-term after the president's victory. in particular, polling data would tell us this election is absolutely about president trump. there's a pugh poll from a couple weeks ago that shows that 66% of democrats say that their vote will be a vote against president trump. 48% of republicans say their vote is a vote for president trump. this is a nationalized election. >> shepard: what are the statistics and the information that we have on the people in the middle? the people that don't identify with either party? >> i don't think pugh looked at that. they put people in lean left and lean right categories. but clearly what is happening here, president trump at rally after rally is saying a vote for this candidate is a vote for me. the reason he

an npr marist poll show there's a 12%, i think, increase in enthusiasm compared to july.sident also tweeted about it. when we look at that, if kavanaugh is confirmed, what is the outcome. will this enthusiasm fizzle? will it increase over time? democrats are revving up the machine. the question is who gets more energized? >> well, it's exactly a month until the midterm elections. and as we know in the political era, a month is a very long time. remember the anonymous "new york times" op-ed author in that debate? i mean that feel like it was years ago. there are many days to go through, i'm sure many new cris crisises. i don't know if they can count on the enthusiasm holding. the anger was over. the perception of how brett kavanaugh had been mistreated but they won. whereas the democrat voters didn't get what they wanted at all and so that anger will continue to propel them to the ballot. i think it's likely that democratic enthusiasm is going to outweigh republican enthusiasm generated by this confirmation process. >> as we break down that enthusiasm, the electorate you'r

the npr marist poll, that's what my eye is on, this has motivated the progressive base and the republican base. that poll, which i just referred to showed that the enthusiasm gap has disappeared and republicans have the enthusiasm factor now. i'm not sure if that holds, dara. keep an eye on the enthusiasm numbers, i think progressives are fired up about what happened. >> any sense of how long this will reverberate, the confirmation and the investigation, will we see it last and rise elsewhere? >> absolutely. i think you're going to see this, especially within the next four weeks. i don't think there's anything that can get done here at all. >> emily, you write that republicans and democrats are claiming an edge among energized voters. how is that? >> the poll that kevin pointed to showing that gaps narrowing from ten points to two points between july and this month. very much say both parties come out of the kavanaugh side very energized. the question of course, remains who will stay energized for the next four weeks. as we played the clip of president trump saying last night he wants the

npr, quinnipiac, all saying the same thing be this massive wave of enthusiasm is gushing over the republicans i want to sincerely thank the left for what they have done. i had great fears the republican base was not going to be energized. they have managed to put them on steroids less than five weeks out from the mid terms. i think if the election were tomorrow, republicans would maybe lose a dozen seats in the house and pick up three seats in the senate. the democrats have shown the american people what they are about. if they can't be in charge, by god they will burn everything down, even if it means destroying centuries of tradition, due process, presumption of innocence until guilty. i think a lot of the american people woke and said we don't want a new standard of guilt by allegation. we'll repudiate that. i think you will see that at the polls in november. charles: kevin, all the polls are saying the same thing. do you think there is some truth to what ned just said? >> there is no question ned is right, we are seeing an increase in enthusiasm on the republican side. democrats were lead

npr writes jill lepore is extraordinarily gifted writer in "these truths" is nothing short of a masterpiece of american history. by engaging with the country's painful past and present in an intellectually honest way she has created a book that truly does encapsulate the american story in all its pain in all its triumph. we are so pleased to host are here in harvard square tonight. please join me in welcoming jill lepore. [applause] >> thank you. that is a good start to the evening. thanks everybody for coming out. it's really an honor to speak to you tonight. it's also a thrill to talk about this book in my hometown. it's going to be my -- not to say these two words again, supreme court. what i want to do this in the short time we have this evening is try to give you a glimpse of why i decided to write a book that was covered in the sweep of american history and it's really a question about scope. when i wanted to do and the reason i wanted to write a book that covered centuries is because i was so frustrated by what i think of as the prism of the present. we are so trapped in this moment

lauren: consider this, according to npr pbs survey in july there was a 10-point gap between number ofand republicans saying the november elections were very important, now that is down to 2 points, a statistical tie, we bring in eric president of nueva horizons and democratic strategists, gentlemen, happy friday. >> good morning to you too, lauren. lauren: 5 hours from now the procedural vote on nomination of kavanaugh in the senate and as the president said we had democratic enthusiasm opposed to trump, oppose to his style, that's now perhaps and i'm curious your take being cut by republicans wanting to defend what has been done to judge kavanaugh. >> well, to be honest with you we can make predictions, we have 5 weeks to go before midterm elections and the important thing about that that's a lifetime when it comes to politics, anything can happen between then and now. we have 52 weeks in the year, donald trump could put out another 52 tweets that changes election another time, anything can happen in a couple of weeks and i'm not going to rush into conclusions. lauren: this is an act

he's the southwest correspondent for npr. let me ask you what's being considered here.ed binary choice. it would give parents a choice to stay in family detention with the child or years or allow children to be taken to a government shelter so other relatives or guardian can seek shelter. help me understand this. >> we heard about that when in federal court in decision when the government was talking about this and it would be different from forced family separation which we saw earlier this year during six weeks. when a family comes across the boarder and they are apprehended and put into family detention, these limited bed space they have for that, they would be given the option they could either stay with their children in family detention but stay longer than 20 days, which is the court ordered time period now that they the government can keep them detained. or they have the option to allow their children to go into a child shelter run by health and human services. it would be a consentual choice as opposed to forced separation that caused this international outcry

from npr, quinnipiac. fox news polls. each one has the same message. there is an underlying tidal wave of enthusiasm many people took for granted wouldn't be here for the mid terms. >> the rnc said she had the largest fundraising day sunday. one of my colleagues said i don't usually vote, but i want to show up for a confirm kavanaugh rally. this was the momentum republicans need. i think they will lose blue seats because of this. i wonder what this does to the supposed blue wave. charles: everyone uferll univery agrees something has to be done. as someone who has been involved in the process, can it be fixed, can it be amended. and have rules of the road foreso this embarrassment doesn't -- so this embarrassment doesn't occur again. >> you look back at what harry reid did. and then mitch mcconnell basically sitting on merrick garland. it's down to the majority to make those rules. frankly i think this is beyond the issue of parliamentary procedure and fundamental integrity of our institutions. charles: civility. >> our institutions are incredibly damag

the generic margin since early july and the npr-marist poll talks about the enthusiasm gap. number of republicans saying the mid term elections are very important lowered the began to just 2 points. charles: the democrats are also using it. what do you make of people saying they want to impeach kavanaugh. i think they overplaying their hand. some of the things they are promising, some of the disruption and some of the challenges to the constitution. they may continue to overplay their hand. >> the mid terms, i take your point. thus am is very important. there is another poll out that looks at voter enthusiasm. the gop as opposed to the democratic party are more to blame for the bumbling. charles: isn't it typically true that people vote for something rather than against something? will they show up to the polls as opposed to someone who was truly offended by what they saw? >> people outraged by kavanaugh, they have the protection of consumer rights at the federal level. i can see the democratic voters energized by that. charles: the democrats have been demanding things like

tonight from npr showing that democratic enthusiasm gap that existed, they used the word evaporated.t has evaporated since mid-september to this point. in other words, because of the kavanaugh hearings. and i trust the american people for exactly this reason. they care about the constitution and so does brett kavanaugh. what they saw are a bunch of senator's end of the politicians not. they like the rule of law. we care about fairness. we don't want to be told that we are now guilty until proven innocent. this has been rejected but they are now seeing that in the polls. and i've been saying this now, really, from the beginning, democrats will regret what they have done. >> sean: i cannot confidently, judge pirro, until our audience tonight that in 34 days the house will not be in the hands of nancy pelosi. i cannot confidently say that somebody like maxine waters with her reckless rhetoric, and they won't be cheering committees. midterms are very tricky. >> with respect to the house in this particular year, given that this is the president's first term. what i have to tell you, you a

. >> anthony: ofeibea quist-arcton is the npr africa correspondent. of ghanaian descent, but has made dakar the senegalese capital, her home for over ten years. >> ofeibea: the senegalese are easy to get on with and they care about you and i guess that's what we all want as human beings, isn't it? to be loved, to be cherished. and, i found that here. i won't be here forever 'cause i'm from ghana, but i will be visiting forever because there are no two senegals. i mean, [ speaking french ]. i think the senegalese are extraordinary, they're open, they welcome you, and, for me, that about makes a good place to live. >> anthony: i fear i come with this assumption that senegal will be yet another failed state or yet another state that, that has gone through, uh, a really terrible post-colonial period that never really --that, that transitioned badly. >> ofeibea: you'll know that senegal is one of the few countries, never had a coups d'etat. >> anthony: mhm. >> ofeibea: and i think that that just makes such a huge difference to a nation. we're in a ninety-p

npr and - - asked if there still a doubt about whether the charges are true, should brett kavanaugh bermed or not? 40 percent said confirm him. 52 said did not. on the harvard harris poll, the if the fbi finds no corroboration, should you vote to confirm? 68 percent confirm, 48 don't confirm. whoever makes the better argument. the democrats will save their doubts. republicans need to say with all due respect, the fbi did a review. they found no corroboration. the four people named with doctor ford, with all due respect to her, none of them could corroborate or verify her claims. fairness dictates in america, we believe in the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. none of the people identified by either doctor ford or miss ramirez were able to corroborate the charges. >> but would you go up with an ad that polarized the race along these lines? or is that too risky for either democrats or republicans in a close election? >> i think it's a case-by-case basis. if the democrats go up with an ad, the republicans have to go up. i think in - - they should go up with an ad because donne
