which brings us to rachel maddow with us. from the sermon on the mound, to the president's anger, yesterday we saw one kind of anger. today it was about holding issues hostage and not governing. it was guns again as the subject matter that got him there. >> yes, it was interesting, he was asked on the subject matter of guns specifically and he talked about the need for what he called common-sense gun reform. and he's using terminology now that i think he means to be deliberately prof vocativeprovo. people are accusing him of say politicizing this issue. he said he would, that our inaction is a political decision and we must change the politics around this issue. but then he went back to the guns issue as an example of the differences between the two sides, of the fight in washington. he said in five weeks, we'll have a fight over the debt ceiling and i could say, congress, you give me gun safety reform legislation, or i will not sign the debt ceiling and we'll crash the economy on purpose. i would never do that. you should ha

rachel maddow is wrapping up an interview with secretary clinton as we speak, and she'll be here laters hour with an exclusive first look at her conversation. we'll also get reaction to clinton's testimony from somebody whose name was invoked a lot. former ambassador thomas pickering. he ran, he was one-half of the state department's own investigation into the benghazi incident. we'll also get a preview of the last october hurdle for team clinton, which also will provide a first glimpse of whether she now has a good ground game in iowa. it will be with her campaign communications chief, plus rick santorum is here and why he hopes past is prolog when it comes to santorum in iowa. but first, we start with hallie jackson in miami with the trump campaign. kasie hunt has the latest on a big jeb bush campaign cash crunch. and our own andrea mitchell has more on the clinton campaign's big week. we'll start on the republican side of the 2016 race where donald trump has cruised for months at the top of the national polls. but is he now showing signs of engine trouble, or is it just about iowa?

t"the rachel maddow show" start right now. >> you talking to seth meyers spectacular and you talking to lawrence lessig is spectacular. you're always great, but your interviews on the democratic side in terms of what's going on presidential politics is so much better than anyone else's. >> thank you, rachel. >> have a great weekend. >> you, too. >> thanks for joining us this hour. fridays are supposed to be boring in the news business. whether you are a liberal or a conservative or neither or you're not sure or you don't even care enough to care what you are, you, right now, by virtue of the fact that you are living right now, all of us right now, we are all living through an era in american politics that is, a, very exciting, but, b, it's one where there is one super interesting unresolved and now enduring question at the heart of everything else that happens in politics. it's one big unanswered question. and that's not to say that there aren't important questions out there about policy, right? that's not to say there aren't questions out there about the world of challenges that our

rachel maddow, you heard andrea say there were broken eggs. this party and the republican party have to be in the omelet business quite shortly to make a case for their nominees. >> it's been interesting to see on the right, particularly in the conservative media, the excitement about the prospect of a biden candidacy. and the sort of savoring on the right of how the continued questions about whether or not joe biden was going to jump in sort of put hillary clinton in a spot and weren't implicit or undermining her as a candidate. so it will be interesting what happens with that storyline clap clap collapsing in the conservative media. but to that point andrea just made so well about the broken eggs here and how this has been difficult and it has gone on for a long time, the other thing that plays into that is how universally beloved joe biden is as an american political figure. and i say this, granted, i'm a liberal and so people think this is me kissing up to the office of the vice president in some way, i don't know, but honestly, i've talke

>> rachel's full interview with hillary clinton tonight on "the rachel maddow show" just after this. stick around. one more note, the clinton campaign tells nbc news that the hour after the benghazi hearing ended last night was the biggest fund-raising hour of the entire campaign and they did not send out a solicitation for donations. join me now karyn finney, strategic communications adviser and strategic spokesperson for clinton 2016. how much time went into prepping for this hearing? >> how about her whole tenure as secretary of state? i mean, she obviously did prepare for this interview -- for this appearance, but you know, i mean, as chairman gowdy himself pointed out, he didn't really ask anything new. right? i mean, most of the questions were questions that have been asked and answered numerous times before. so they asked the questions and she answered them for some 11 hours. >> here's what struck me about the hearing. i've known people that have worked for secretary clinton in various capacities. people speak -- whatever your view of her politics, whether you agree with her i

host: that's from rachel maddow. can he recover from this?ried to diagram his sentences, you would have trouble. and in that sense, dana milbank is right. you don'ts anyone want to scrutinize how you talk or work, it is dana milbank. he is a very keen observer. but speaking isn't the only quality of a speaker oddly enough. it's maybe not even the most important quality. you have to be able to work with people. as the crisis the republican party has right now is, like any large majority, when the democrats had huge majority, he had parts of their caucus that couldn't talk to other parts. there was real acrimony there and tremendous differences. you need a leader who can reach all sides and talk to them. and when you have one of those doesn't appear to think much about the consequences of what it does on the institution -- many of its voters think, the government shuts down, that is a good thing. the houses broken apart and the traditions change, that is a good ring, too. because that is the establishment and they haven't done anything good for

after that she will head here for that sit-down with rachel maddow which runs tonight at 9:00 here on msnbc. a live look there at the campaign event. we will keep our eye on that. let's bring in congressman tim ryan, democrat from ohio, supporter of the clinton campaign. i want to pick up where andrea just left off there, congressman. do we think or are you hearing that your democratic colleagues are going to stop cooperating with the benghazi committee at this point after yesterday? >> you know, i'm not sure what happened in that meeting. ultimately the leadership will make that judgment. but clearly that committee has lost any ounce of credibility after yesterday. it was just an amazing political publicly funded attack on hillary clinton and they lost all credibility, even among conservatives. i heard one conservative commentator say that congressman pompeo should go to hillary clinton with a bible and swear her in as president. even the right wingers are saying that this committee has lost all credibility. so whether we stay or not, ultimately it has no credibility. >> you heard cl

we'll bring you the highlights of rachel maddow's exclusive interview with hillary clinton in just a moment. but first we want to take you to mexico where the pacific coast of that country is weathering the strongest hurricane ever recorded to make landfall. hurricane patricia made landfall as a category 5 storm. it's now weakened to a hurricane 1, but it is still a very dangerous storm. msnbc meteorologist bonnie schneider joins us now. >> this is what it looked like a category 5. imagine it going from a tropical storm to the category 5 in just 24 hours. that's exactly what patricia today when it made landfall yesterday evening and now the storm is breaking up a bit which is good s in what is happening as it continues to work its way onshore. really what we're looking at, let's zoom into the area and you can see some of the clouds are starting to break up a bit as we go throughout much of the satellite perspective into the region. so overall, what we're looking at are some improvements in the forecast for mexico, but first we'll have to get through unfortunately this. can we zoom in

>> well, you know, what hillary clinton said about the vets surveys on rachel maddow's show, bernie sanderssame comments more than a year ago before eric shinseki was fired and they are talking points about veterans who just got service at the va, and this is not the issue here. in all of the discussion, wolf, i'm a little nervous for the vets that this does become a political issue. quite frankly, the v.a. has been on a slide for a decade and a half, and it is going to be taking bipartisan efforts to fix the v.a. bur keaucracy which is the problem, and if this is allowed to become just another political issue in a campaign, it will be the vets who will suffer, because it is just toing to be pushed on down the line. >> drew griffin, thanks again for your excellent reporting along with the investigative un unit. and drew griffin and mark preston, guys, thank you very much, and we will stay on top of the story. >>> we are getting breaking news into cnn norad is saying that a blimp has become dissociated with the mooring. it is untether and flying around somewhere over pennsylvania we are told

i don't recall rachel maddow being outraged about that. >> what about this ico foundation, that managesilanthropic fund. >> really? the frank and carly fiorina foundation is funded by our money, and we decide where that money goes. the fact that they have some other client that apparently donated to planned parenthood, boy, all it would take is five seconds of reporting to figure out that this is a non-issue. again, i don't think facts are the point here at all. i don't think "the washington post" has a lot of credibility. msnbc i think speaks for itself. >> this is obviously going to happen more and more as you rise in the polls, which you are doing. this is you versus hillary clinton. carly fiorina versus hillary clinton, it's 52-38 in your favor. in new hampshire, it's 50-42. so the head-to-head matchups are showing you prevailing. and you've moved up, fourth nationally, second in new hampshire and third in iowa according to the latest polls. how do you keep that going? do you believe it's solely a matter of name recognition at this point for you? >> oh, no. now we have higher name i

because of rachel maddow's interview on doma when hillary clinton said to rachel, that the reason whyl clinton supported the defense of marriage act was a defense against an even worse contingency which was the possibility, the likelihood, according to hillary clinton's retelling of history, that there would have been a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. so he took a least worst option and in 1996, supported the defense of marriage act. well, that, bernie sanders argued is not true. and it's been pointed out by a number of fact checkers today and yesterday. hillary rosen, who was there then, tweeted to her friends, bill and hillary, saying that's not what happened, i was there. don't continue saying this. bottom line is, that it was politically advantageous. he was running for re-election. bob dole was in favor of the defense of marriage act, and like several other of the issues that were supported then, you know, by morris, who was helping him in his re-election campaign. he went for it and offended a lot of his liberal supporters and this was just one other instance.

in the lion's den of rachel maddow? no, in the plush kitten's bed of sean hannity. >> everybody thought hillary clinton was unbeatable, right? we put together a benghazi special committee. a select committee. what are her numbers today? her numbers are dropping. why? because she's untrustable. no one would know any of that had happened-- hannity: i give you credit for that. john: i bet hillary clinton was just loving that. let's check in on what she had to say. mrs. clinton: i find it deeply distressing. when i hear a statement like that, which demonstrates unequivocally that this was always meant to be a partisan, political exercise, i feel like it does a great disservice and dishonor. not just the memory of the four that we lost, but everyone that serves the country. john: putting aside this sheer, uncalculable stupidity. on a scale of 1 to godzilla, how good is this for hillary clinton, and how bad is it for trent gowdy and the republican party? mark: it's bad for mccarthy because we both talked about how john boehne

. >> that line was a clear shot at what hillary clinton had to say to rachel maddow friday evening. >e, i think what my husband believed and there was evidence to support it is that there was enough political momentum to amend the constitution of the united states of america. and that there had to be some way to stop that. >> all this comes as a new cbs/ugov poll shows sanders surpassing clinton in new hampshire. good evening. steve, i want to start out with you here with john podesta talking to abc about sanders and this strategy. >> i think bernie sanders seemed to have a course correction in the j.j. dinner from one which he said he wasn't going to go negative to obviously focusing his fire on her. >> is that fair or was it a different tone? >> i think it's a candidate bernie sanders who recognizes the political gravity changed a little bit since hillary clinton's strong performance in that first debate, since her appearance before the benghazi committee. there are a lot of activists, voters want influential people in the party who have taken another new look at hillary clinton. no

the rachel maddow show will start with continuing coverage of today's shooting in oregon. good evening, rachel. >> good evening, chris. we will bring you break news from roseburg, oregon, as that news come in, and we do expect it to keep coming in. and i'll tell you why. the story of this mass shooting, this mass murder in oregon, it broke starting more than six hours ago now. and it's very interesting over the course of this day. we still done have some very, very basic information about what happened. which is unusual for an incident of this kind. here's what we do know as of this minute. late tonight after a whole day in which even the death toll has been unclear in this mass shooting, late tonight the sheriff in douglas county, oregon has now finally reported that there are a total of ten fatalities in this incident and seven injuries. now, the sheriff would not say if the gunman is one of the ten people, if the gunman is included in that count. the sheriff is not saying either way. the newspaper "the oregonian" is reporting and they're sourcing the fbi saying the shoot

first i'll play what hillary said to rachel maddow and what bernie said last night. >> in a lot of ways, doma was a line that was drawn to prevent going further. >> it was a defensive action? >> it was a defensive action. >> now today some are trying to rewrite history by saying they voted for one anti-gay law to stop something worse. that's not the case. there was a small minority in the house opposed to discriminating against our gay brothers and sisters, and i am proud that i was one of those members. >> so bob, doma, defense of marriage act, not actually true hillary clinton saying she voted for it. she was first lady when doma came into being but is there room here for bernie to find some space around this pocket of issues? >> i think bernie has a real problem and i think his main problem is that he's peaked too soon. i think he's really peaked too soon. what would have been better for bernie if he had sort of like increased his visibility steadily, and then won a surprise victory in iowa and moved on to new hampshire. bernie has been seen as a formidable mainstream candidate for q

. >> reporter: in an exclusive interview that will air tonight on msnbc rachel maddow she was asked how her mom would have reacted to the hearing. >> i think she would have been appalled at the whole spectacle. she would not have been surprised by my sitting there and absorbing what i did yesterday. because that is what she would have expected. >> reporter: the last ten days in october have been the best of clinton's campaign. a strong debate performance, joe biden's decision not to run, surviving the benghazi hearing and today an endorsement from the labor union representing government workers. and clinton now leads bernie sanders by 11 points in a new poll. after trailing him by one point a month ago. they both appeared at a women's democratic forum today where she jabbed at him for saying last week all of the shouting in the world won't keep guns away from people who shouldn't have them. >> i've been told to stop, and i quote, shouting about gun violence. well first of all, i'm not shouting. it is just when women talk, some people think we're shouting. >> tomorrow clinton goes to the
