in ohio. there's jobs in ohio. and so it's understandable um, but with change there can be a little bit of confusion in his guidance. and i think that's what's happened here . um, in ohio, specifically, i think that misinformation has really caused a lot of harm to our community in our ation in their groups that are here in the state of ohio. and i think that if you really look at the facts, you can see how much for contribution they've had to our communities, how resilient the community is. and most importantly, that they're here working legally. and i mean, there's just a lot of that can be said positively of opportunity. it's just really, really sad, isn't it? so i mean, 18 pets. how, how does this kind of idea even catch traction? how much is social media to do with this?

my job is to represent people in ohio and keep my focus on ohio workers.last week i mentioned i have been to lordstown and i was in chillicothe where they have tried to close a veterans hospital and i work with jessica and they asked me and the mayor and others to keep that hospital open. i have been and continue to talk to firefighters in cleveland, where they endorsed me and because i have stood with them in their pensions and other ways. my focus will always be in ohio. national media want to talk about national races, and i am fine with that, but i represent 12 million people in ohio and i will continue to fight for them. that is my job. that is why they hired me. the photos of ohio, they know the way i do this. the idea, the best ideas that come from washington. i heard about a pension bill from workers in youngstown and dayton and i went back and we fought to restore the pension for 100,000 ohio workers. we heard about the football field size burn pits and went back and worked with people and 40,000 ohioans have already gotten care because of that ex

it's very scary what's going on over there. >> eli from ohio. an independent in ohio as well.ou are in north olmsted, ohio. go ahead. >> yes. i'm going to be 94 years old and i've come to the conclusion, no matter which party is in office, it's the owners of the federal reserve bank that controlled the country. have always controlled the country and always will as long as the banking system is not in the hands of the government. >> already. earlier we heard from democratic governor jb pritzker in the spin room in new york city. there on your screen. we've been showing you it all evening. he was talking in support of the harris-walz ticket. the trump campaign senior adviser spoke to the cameras earlier this evening and here's what he had to say. >> people are voting. especially in a lot of these battleground states. people are voting. look at what's going on in the world right now. iran attacking israel. hezbollah and can you -- continuing chaos with hamas. look at what china is doing against taiwan. people are having to decide between groceries and gas. the country is not goin

um, they're migrating to ohio because there's opportunity in ohio, there's jobs in ohio, and so it's understandable um, but with change there can be a little bit of confusion in his guidance. and i think that's what's happened here . um, in ohio, specifically, i think that misinformation has really caused a lot of harm to our community in our ation in their groups that are here in the state of ohio. and i think that if you really look at the facts, you can see how much for contribution they've had to our communities, how resilient the community is. and most importantly, that they're here working legally. and i mean, there's just a lot of that can be said positively of opportunity of it's just really, really sad, isn't it? so i mean, eating pets. how, how does this kind of idea even catch traction? how much is social media to do with this? yeah, well we started conversation starting off on social media. i think that the algorithms that we currently have do kind of like benefit to sort of hate that we kind of been seeing. and we saw this conversation starting on twitter or exit believe

it is michigan's open seat and sharad brown in ohio. guest: ohio is the next most vulnerable. if we look back to the decrease in ticket-splitting we have seen over the last two presidential cycles in 2016 every single senate race went the same way the presidential race that. in 2020 only student -- susan collins managed to maintain reelection. i think the math is much tougher for jon tester. he is also running against a stronger opponent. but in ohio that is a state that trump won twice by eight points. the margin is smaller for sharad brown to perform. he is sort of the last democrat standing in the buckeye state. he has a populist image. yes been able to appeal to this disaffected white working-class voters democrats struggle with. he needs an extraordinary number of tickets letters this election cycle as well. his opponent is a former luxury car dealer. he is a colombian immigrant. but brown has been able to heavily outspend in the race. now we are seeing a lot of outside money coming in. and so polling has brown with a very slight lead, within the margin of error. but he h

shargi you look at springfield, ohio, they're going in violently. they are dangerous. they are at the highest level of criminality security so he's i said sketch show when phil myself in springfield did you ever have anybody. say something to. you personally but an up my sheet once young blood passes through machine nearly job. were you scared when you heard that? >> hamdi i see it in allow erc asked him that while it the appear to get them rafted marty luck had you ever dealt with anything like that before living here? no, no i didn't get myself see c city. >> city lab simple been again by the glass, you every two brothers out in thank you. thank you. >> okay. >> ok what did you think when you first heard people saying that you're eating cats and dogs here in springfield? so i'm sure camping on his unit case. this is the mood but as you now your life changed as soon as those words were set, one salli live with the conduct sub-bullet bouillabaisse mobile mach-e t-beam pool, security, api remember lamb sides seem to show as a piney security how the baseless rumors about

businesses to ohio.rld war ii we were the absolute capital of steel, rubber, computing. we knew how to make things in ohio. we're going to bring those companies back because i'm going to go talk to these companies and explain to them why ohio is the best place to invest and do business. my opponent, sherrod brown repels businesses. somebody meets him they'll run far away. with me, they'll come to ohio. i'll be the greatest salesperson ohio's ever had. maria: you said you're committing to two terms 6. are you supporting term limits. >> that's what we need in washington, d.c. we've got to drain the swamp, get a new generation of leaders and fix the country once and for all. maria: i wonder if you can do it without doing term limits for the people around the elected officials. joejoni ernst said you need to o term limits for people that work in the offices, you can call them deep state, you could call them the machine but they too should face term limits. do ag agree? >> you hire a staff of people who have

i think it would be bad for ohio. >> you've voted for donald trump in 2020. he's now saying that if he is re-elected, he's going to deport these haitian immigrants i mean, do you still plan to vote for him? >> i think it would be a mistake to kick these people out not enough of a mistake to change how you plan. well, look, i think the decision to who you support for president is his based upon multiple issues. and i am republican. i support my party going against the nominee of the party. i think, makes me a less effective governor of the state of ohio given that, what do you say to a haitian who will see these comments and say, i thought this governor had my back and he is now going to support the person who wants to kick me out yeah. >> look, people can make any conclusion. they want to, but i make my position very, very clear. i don't think they should be thrown out i think it would be a dramatic mistake. i think it's wrong sort of the national politics of things versus the reality of what's going on here. >> we do have challenges with more reporters on th

look, yes, you're governor of ohio, but you're also born in springfield? >> you've been to haiti many, many times you and your family have also helped stand up a school down there in haiti as well our schools and city chalet, which is always the poorest and the worst area educating about 5,000 kids every single day and all of these things sort of come together in, as you described, a strange way. >> what was your reaction when former president trump flat-out said in springfield, haitians are eating the cats and dogs well, as governor, i have an obligation to tell the truth and talk about springfield. we knew that's not true. no evidence of that at all. >> i've spoken to a lot of haitians and one of the things that i've heard from all of them is they're scared in a way that they haven't been before thing for the entire community with any population any group of people in the community are scared they may not report crime they may not participate in society it may pull back. >> know there's things are good. >> now those things help anybody we've seen a wave

i know what's happening in ohio.e firefighters in cleveland and with the teamsters event in cleveland and at the youngstown plant with probably 50 auto workers talking about no we need to stand up for them. we saved the pension of 100,000 union workers, so it really is -- it's -- i think too often people think they look at left and right in politics. to me politics isn't left to right, it's who's side are you on, and you listen to people. i knew when i got in this race they would spend tens of millions of dollars, because when you stand up for workers and stand up to special interests, wall street and the companies that outsource jobs, you stand up to the drug company, they come after you. more money in this race against me literally than any senate race in history. that's why i ask people to help because there are four big billionaires on their side spending tens of millions of dollars and lots of others. i ask people to come to sherrodbrown.com and contribute $15, $20 there. that's why in the end when you stand up

vote on tuesday and ohio. if you have early voting in your state, let's go the time is now. bernie moreno you are a fantastic person and candidate you'd make a good senator. good luck my friend. >> thank you mark, keep fighting for the american dream that's what my family came here for it cannot thank you enough for being such an advoca ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy? even a term policy! find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the number on your screen, or visit coventrydirect.com. >> welcome back america, washington, d.c. is quite perverse, on friday they announced 240,000 jobs were created miraculous we never seen anything like it in our lives. we call that crap and if i were speaking privately i'd call it something else, for washington that's a great accomplishmen

joining me as senator sherrod brown of ohio. it's good to have you on. what do you think, let's imagine that democrats do retain control or, and kamala harris elected president. what are the things you will be voting on, things that will be priorities for you come 2025? >> i think the reason the people are cynical is they don't see us as delivering on things they care about. we do voting rights, the john lewis voting rights act, protecting the right to organize, we expand for 10 years or maybe longer the child tax credit where 90%, to mail- in children, families of 2 million children in my state, 90% of kids, 60 million children , families with 60 million around the country. we do specific things. we kept the $35 insulin not just for seniors. we have done it for all people. we deliver on tangible things. it will help dispel a lot of the cynicism people have about politicians. i talked to people. you don't care about me. you politicians don't care about me and you don't have impact in my life. why should i care? we deliver on specific things that matter i

vance with his take on ohio's abortion policy.to enshrine abortion acts in the states constitution. the lesson mr. vance took from that was not to respect voters right for reproductive freedom but to convince them they don't want it at all. candidates in the state seem to be following suit. bernie marino recently insisted that abortion isn't really that big of a deal, saying it is crazy for women past 50 two think it is an issue at all. joining me now is bernie marino's opponent, ohio senior senator brown. it is great to have you on the show. do you have a take on why it is that j.d. vance and bernie marino seem intent on remaining at odds with what ohio voters want on the subject of abortion and reproductive freedom? >> marino thinks he knows better. ohioans clearly have stated what they think. bernie marino wants an abortion ban and he is 100% pro-life, no exceptions. that is why people are spending a lot of money on this issue and that is why people should consider contributing $15 or $20. he thinks he knows better and wants to

terry moran, live in ohio.>> when we come back, donna brazil, reince priebus are itching to get into this conversation. they're going to tell us what they would tell governor walz and senator vance, what they need to do on that stage tonight. and this question for you because we all know how polarized this country is. the deliver of undecideds -- you might be asking who's undecided at this point? there are still undecided. always dry scoop before you run. listen to me, the hot dog diet got me shredded. it's time we listen to science. one a day is formulated with key nutrients to support whole body health. one a day. science that matters.

vote on tuesday and ohio.ly voting in your state, let's go the time is now. bernie moreno you are a fantastic person and candidate you'd make a good senator. good luck my friend. >> thank you mark, keep fighting for the american dream that's what my family came here for it cannot thank you enough for being such an advoca if you have chronic kidney disease, you can reduce the risk of kidney failure with farxiga. because there are places you'd like to be. farxiga can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, urinary tract, or genital yeast infections, and low blood sugar. a rare, life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking farxiga and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this infection, an allergic reaction, or ketoacidosis. ♪ farxiga ♪ my name is brayden. i was five years old when i came to st. jude. i'll try and shorten down the story. so i've been having these headaches that wouldn't go away. my mom, she was

. >>> and all eyes on ohio. in the final stretch of his tough re-election campaign, incumbent democrat senator sharon brown joins us live to talk about his race that could determine the balance of power in the senate and whether anything might get on if kamala wins the white house. i'm jonathan capehart, this is the sunday show. >> [ music ] >>> in nine days, the american people will make their voices heard and the contrast between the two presidential candidates could not be more stark or more clear. donald trump is holding a rally in madison square garden right now. that is dr. phil you're seeing, that is a live picture of dr. phil addressing the folks in madison square garden, and they are there, even though new york is a reliably blue state. he is joined by fellow election deniers like wealthy buddy elon musk and broke but he really -- rudy giuliani. we will have a live report from inside that chilling rally in a moment. >>> meanwhile, vice president, harris is focused on meeting voters in the key battlegrou

thomas bayard of delaware and allen thurman of ohio.reme court justices, again, we've got another sticky wicket. david davis, an independent, so-called independent. but it will come back to him. joseph bradley had been appointed by republican samuel freeman miller, republican william strong republican nathan clifford, democrat stephen johnson. field, another democratic appointee. let's go back to david davis. what was his story. david davis is fascinating. so as you said, david davis is from illinois. he had been a very close confidant and friend of abraham lincoln. he had been appointed by lincoln to the court. davis was, as you said, widely viewed as an independent in the 19th century, independent, i mean, genuinely independent, free of either political party. most assumed because of his reputation as an independent, that the four justices congress appointed who then got to choose the fifth justice, the 15th member of the committee that they would choose davis and the popular belief was that davis probably favored tilden, though nobod

questions about the springfield, ohio matter in springfield, ohio, as you know, the republican mayor and the republican congressmen, the republican governor, are all denouncing the false allegations that vance has made about haitian migrants to springfield are eating people's cats and dogs when and if that comes up how do you think senator vance should respond? >> well first i think that would be incredibly unfortunate if that's what the moderate raiders raise jake, we had a hurricane that's devastated four states. we have 40% of our ports that are going on strike right now that the administration did not get ahead of, that can devastate our economy 5 billion a day that we stand to lose. and of course, we already have one war in europe. war exploding in the middle east. there are so many other things that we should be talking about. but look, if that does come up, i expect it to lead to a conversation about immigration and the effects of immigration facts of the parole

we're doing that in montana and ohio as well. once again, we're dealing with candidates who have done this in the past and they're showing that we're going to continue to do that based on the polling information that's out right now from the public polls which have both of them in the margin of error and often towards the top of the margin of error, which is a good place to be right now. quite frankly, it's where we thought we would be. all these are touch races and it's no d. from what we did last cycle. everyone thought we couldn't hold the senate much less expand the senate. i was confident we could do it. it was because we had superior candidates and the contrast between flawed or deeply flawed republican candidates, people took a look at that and ended up voting democratic, as we thought they would and we made history. something that hadn't been done since 1934. the rest of the country wasn't necessarily that great for democrats but it was in the senate states. the same template we used last seekle we're using in cycle and w

joining us now is the ohio democratic u.s.ate are sherrod brown and i appreciate your being here and i know you are in the middle of a busy campaign. >> thank you for having me. >> i have never seen anything like this and what is your reaction to it? >> i don't either. i don't either. he has been hiding the whole election and he really talks to the media and he doesn't seem to want to answer questions from much of anybody and when he does he gets in trouble. so he finds this by gadget apparently made for the military so he doesn't really want to answer questions about ohioans voting 57% for abortion rights or stiffed his employees out of their overtime $400,000 worth and shredded documents and i guess this is a more high- tech way to avoid talking to the public. >> you know, your opponent did really step in it when he said women over 50 essentially don't have a right to have an opinion about things like abortion since they are making babies anymore at that age and i felt like that comment from him, he didn't have the instinct

when you look at brown in ohio at my home state for example, i think he's going to win.is a beloved in that state. he has a buck the tide of democrats listening in that state you will see people in ohio vote for donald trump and vote for brown. i don't think there are a ton of those voters with some of the close states pennsylvania, ohio, michigan and wisconsin in particular i do think there's a lot of republicans and independents who do not want to vote for donald trump under any circumstances. but might vote for a republican in the senate that is why democrats are pretty nervous about the senate right now. >> there are nerves on all sides about all kinds of things the ground game there are worries the trump campaign has outsourced some of the get out and vote, door to door more retail politics kind of thing wall street journal says this or republicans in swing states are rushing to shore up their ground game in the final stretch of the campaign fearing for her present donald trump outsourcing strategy has faltered will not drive enough voters to the polls. we can talk

i live in springfield, ohio.years i've lived here i had to explain where the town is and now everyone knows or thinks they do because donald trump and j.d. vance have appropriated the town as a set for their racist falsehoods. springfield lives under a pall of fear. the local committee asked supporters to wave signs and flags outside their building during meetings because many members were afraid to attend. children fear attending schools because of bomb threats. a friend opted out of her regular game night because she does not want to be out after dark. worried parents have insisted on taking the children home from a local university and of course many of our haitian neighbors are terrified to lose their homes. you know who is not afraid to go out and about in springfield? cowboys, neo-nazis. some of these people paraded with flags and rifles during our jazz festival. they forced local officials to cancel the annual culture fest celebration of diverse arts and music. these far right groups clearly feel as though

i'm not worried about ohio rhetoric. i'm more worried about rhetoric that might get somebody killed what he has said about ohio has been false and has arguably endangered people there. but you have no qualms to be clear, as you said, about his rhetoric about ohio i i don't have anything, nothing that i've seen about what he said about ohio gives me any sort of pause. i am worried about violent rhetoric, even the line in my family in danger. i'm afraid. when do you care about the people i live? woman, i hear what you're saying about yourself. i care. i hear i care about but everybody do you i absolutely do. >> and, you know, and i see it on both sides to and i've called people out, i call the balls and strikes, but to my knowledge, no one in ohio has been threatened because of something trump has said about ohio when there have been people that have given interviews about some of the challenges they've had with immigrants that are there i haven't seen that i think i've seen more cat memes and jokes about it than anything

still a key issue for ohio voters.ng to a poll, it was second to the economy for a list of issues. 1 in 5, cited it. 63% said abortion should be mostly or always legal. sherrod brown has a 100% rating from planned parenthood to support reproductive rights. his republican challenger, bernie moreno, has called for a national abortion ban. but moreno brought abortion to the center of the race when he said at a town hall that it is a little crazy for women to be single issue voters on abortion. it's a little crazy, especially for women that are like past 50. and they get to myself, i don't think this is an issue for you. as you can imagine that remark did not go over well with women in ohio. it was the inspiration for this ad from sharon brown's list is sharad brownstein. >> bernie moreno thinks it's crazy that women care about abortion rights. >> he says for older women like me it's not an issue. >> how is this an issue for you? >> he's against abortion even when it comes to or incest. >> bernie moreno, i am 100. i am def

these are videos from the ohio democratic party.ght an ultrasonic jamming gadget that they're now waving in front of microphones to be -- to stop people from being able to record anything that bernie moreno says. >> hey, mr. moreno. how many of your former employees do you think are going to vote for you? >> la, la, la, la, la, can't hear you, not over the sound of my ultrasonic jamming gadget that we bought at the spy store. i don't think putting an electronic noise box in the face of anybody shouting questions at you is going to stop people shouting questions at bernie moreno in ohio. but this is apparently their strategy. i've never seen anything like it. joining us now is ohio's democratic u.s. senator, sherrod brown. senator brown, i appreciate you being here. i know you're in the middle of a busy campaign. >> honor to be back. thanks, rachel. >> i have never seen anything like this. i have to ask you your reaction to it. >> well, i haven't either. i don't think anybody is using a spy gadget. he's been hiding from ohioans the w

i just know -- ohio is gerrymandered so bad right now. we are voting to do away with the gerrymandering. that's the main thing i'm voting for. the gerrymandering in ohio. host: carol in brookhaven, new york on the line for republicans. good morning. caller: yes, i will not vote for the republican if -- what was i saying -- if they have an attorney that has been disbarred because of this unbelievable behavior to run for office. we have an assemblyman in the three village area of long island. the fourth district. anyone who has been disbarred as of the 25th of last month, and they are going to let him run as assemblyman. if anyone allows or condones a disbarred attorney to run for office, that should be resolved. host: carol, for your members of congress, do you have a preference for who you are going to vote for for the house seat? caller: i will vote for anyone who votes against an assemblyman who has been disbarred from the fourth district. host: do you know which candidate that is? caller: i know both candidates. but unfortunately, i'm

but my job is to represent people in ohio and keep my focus on ohio workers.lordstown. i was in chillicothe where they tried to close a veterans hospital. mayor feeney and others asked me to help keep the hospital open. i talk to firefighters in cleveland where they endorse me. because i stood with them and their pensions and in other ways. my focus will always be in ohio. you know, national media wants to talk about national races. i'm fine with that. but i represent 12 million people in ohio, and i'll continue to fight for them. that's my job. that's why they hire me. again, the voters of ohio, they know the way i do this. i don't get -- the best ideas don't come from washington. i heard about a pension bill from workers in youngstown and dayton. i went back. we fought for restoring the pensions of 100,000 ohio workers. i heard it from sandusky, heard about these football field size burn pits. i went back, worked with jon tester and others. 40,000 ohioans have already gotten care because of that exposure. the bill is named after an ohioan, just like the pens

ohio was the key to bush's reelection.year though we will have a lot of states that are closer than that 100,000 votes in ohio so if abortion rights measures pullout say 5000 young women who might not have shown up to vote or young men for that matter. those who are probably more disposed to a democratic candidate, that 5000 votes could make the difference. host: here is an interesting article from the washington post, the women backing abortion referendum and trumpet. splitting their tickets. guest: some interesting game theory. i know a few democrats who are worried about it. but if you show up to the polls and you support abortion rights, one of these amendments is a great way to make sure your official cannot restrict abortion rights. offering permission structure to vote in favor of abortion rights but in favor of a republican candidate who might not favor abortion rights. you are putting it in the constitution and then vote for whoever you like. host: what about this impacting the senate race in montana and the impor

jon: ohio went for donald trump in 2016. in ohio, republicans think they can pick up senate seat and knock off an incumbent. >> they really do. ohio is increasingly less of a swing state. more of a red state. marino there is being pretty competitive with the brown. this is a democrat whose a box at times the more woke talking points from the left. this is someone who is very good at talking to working-class voters. and if a brown is not successful they are it makes you wonder how are democrats going to fare elsewhere when you have a republican party that's making an argument against the status quo? we just heard from some of the speakers they are in madison square garden saying this is very much an us us versus them election. it's voters who are in constant power. if someone for so long has been able to appeal to the working class like a brown in ohio is unsuccessful there than likely republicans are going to have a good night across the ballot. jon: we will be watching on tuesday. thanks. >> thank you sir. jon: vice preside

>> i will not speak nationally but i know what is happening in ohio.rsed by the firefighters and in cleveland i was with 20 teamsters and i was at the youngstown planed with 50 autoworkers talking about how we need to stand up for them. we saved the pension of 100,000 union workers so i think too often people think they look left to right in politics. to me it is whose side you are on. i knew when i got in the race they would spend tens of millions. when you stand up for workers and you stand up to special interests, wall street, companies that outsource jobs and the drug companies, they come after you. more money against me in this race than any senate race in history. that is why i ask people to help, there is for big billionaires on their side assisting. there are a lot more of us than there are of them which is why when you stand up for workers and the interest groups you take a state like ohio. >> you have the endorsement of these unions, you mentioned saving pension plans and that is something biden did and i wonder what explains the disconnect b

governor of ohio. what distinguished what distinguished him in your view? a great question. think one of the really fascinating things about this election is i think the two candidates in some ways, you could describe as polar opposites, as you mentioned, hayes was prior to this point, not very well known nationally. he was very prominent in ohio, his home state, where he had gradually risen up through the political ranks. he had served briefly in congress. and then, as you mentioned, as the governor of ohio, really, it was his military service during the civil war that had launched his political career. he had served with distinction. as you said, he was wounded four times. he ended the war with the rank of brigadier general and that career that impressed of service during the war had launched him into politics. he had a reputation as honest for honesty, as a public servant. and he was also i think if we're comparing the two candidates, he was this physically impressive person. he was sort of hearty and robust and he had a large beard which had become popular among men duri

joanne in ohio, republican, let's hear from you.aller: hello, thank you for having me on the show. i first want to say i think the debate tonight was a class act. i love listening to both of them. i feel that 3.5 years this country has gotten worse. now they are saying they are going to fix things. i don't think any of these wars would be going on if trump was still president. i wasn't expecting to get on, i am sorry. host: that's ok, we will go to texas, a democratic color -- caller. who do you think won tonight? caller: yeah, vance, i don't believe he understands the difference between rich and poor. he said the poor and the rich worry about putting food on the table. rich people don't have to worry about food on the table. they can change their situation anytime they want to. but the poor have to live with their situation. host: ok. caller: he and trump, i believe they would change our health insurance. i don't believe they really understand the situation poor people go through. host: a democratic color, robert is an independent
