- [tammy] yep. and a lot of people cut in pie shape, but we always cut in strips. - [david] ok. - [tammy] so. - i like that, ok so we're at elm's pizza, we're in granville, and i came in to look at the place, and it was really wild, and you've got pictures of cars all over the walls here. - [tammy] yes. my grandfather was a chevrolet dealer, this building. - [david] so this is the building. i was walkin' around, i saw a calendar from 1951. the coolest thing i saw on the wall was the price list with what cars cost back then. isn't that amazing? - [tammy] amazing, the corvette that was $4000? - [david] yeah. - [tammy] yeah, yep. - so you come in this place, and you sit down, and you're waitin' for your pizza, because it takes what? about 20 minutes to get a pizza? - yep, yep. - they don't mess around, they even have a sign that says, hey, relax, it takes time to bake 'em, right? - [tammy] we have to bake 'em, yep. - [david] so i walked around, and i was readin' the walls, and there were so many cool t

>> yeah, i think tammy's got it right. when you think about elections in this country, rigging focuses on the very narrow piece of real estate that is the polling place. there's that great line that's been attributed to lots of people but i think it's tom stopart that voting is not in the voting but in the counting. when something breaks or a black hat gets involved at the counting stage where there is some sort of slip between the duly cast ballots of voters and the actual tabulation of the results. and so when we think about rigging, and what we probably want to talk about today is whether or not there's something going on, not misfeasance but malfeasance, actual bad acts by somebody to interfere with the process of going from a duly cast ballot to a valid, certified result. >> so let's pick up on just that issue. what evidence is there that rigging in either respects that you've defined is actually going on? >> well, i would argue that there really isn't any sort of evidence that this is happening. and the other thing t

tammy, go inside. we need you to stay safe more than anything else. >> we're okay at the moment. >> please, go inside. that's tammy leitner, joining us from nassau, in the bahamas. time is running out for people in the southeastern u.s. to get out of the storm's path. i hope they're looking at how treacherous it is in the bahamas right now and taking seriously these evacuation warnings. let's take you to bill karins. he's tracking the hurricane. >> stephanie, right off the bat, i agree with you 100%. they're out on the balcony right now. about 12 stories up, and they're going through the eye of the hurricane. if they can still listen to us, they should go inside. even if they're on the protected side of the storm, we don't need accidents there. stephanie, we're talkingunts, you know, the bahamas and what we just saw there, and those pictures are what we're going to experience starting late tonight in florida, and then right up the coast. i mean, we're looking at, you mentioned worst case scenario, poss

he is in illinois campaigning with tammy duckworth. let's listen in. >> immigrants, people of other faiths, mocking the tis abled, insulting our troops, insulting our veterans. that tells you a couple things. it tells you that he's insecure enough that he pumps himself up by putting other people down. not a character trait i would advise for somebody in the oval office. it tells you that he doesn't care much about the basic values that we try to impart to our kids. it tells you he'd be care leles with the civility and respect that a real vibrant democracy require, and it sure has heck tells you he's never met somebody as tough or smart or patriotic as tammy duckworth. we want to see leadership, that's the kind of leadership we've got to look for. so bottom line is this, if you want to send a message in the this election, then you have to vote for hillary clinton and you have to vote for tammy duckworth. if you want leaders who actually respect americans and value hard work, if you want higher wage, better benefits, a fairer tax code, a

that's our own tammy leitner in nassau.nt to take you now to nbc meteorologist bill karins with the new hurricane update that just came in. >> we just got the brand new update here. looking things over and adjust some of the graphics. it's up to a category four. we thought it was intensifying and now the winds start to pick up. so no longer category three. it's now category four. 140-mile-per-hour winds. northwest at 14th. that increase in full speed is anticipated. everything is on schedule. nothing has changed as far as the current initial conditions as it pulls away from nassau. the updated path and the track and start analyzing this. now we get into the crunch time here. so here we are. thursday at 8:00 p.m. this is tonight, this is just a little bit stronger at 145 miles per hour. this is coast, west palm beach and the melbourne area. they have the storm paralleling the coastline from west palm beach up to the melbourne area and right to the top of the kennedy space center. 145 to 145. 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. tomorrow.

tammy duckworth, running for the senate there. president obama made remarks specifically about donald trump. we cut in at after halfway through. let's play the majority of those specific remarks about donald trump. >> one of the most disturbing things about this election is just the unbelievable rhetoric coming from the top of the republican ticket. i don't need to repeat it. there are children in the room. but demeaning women, degrading women, but also minorities, immigrants, people of other faiths, mocking the disabled, insulting our troops, insulting our veterans. that tells you a couple things. it tells you he is insecure enough that he pumps himself up by putting other people down. not a character trait that i would advise for somebody in the oval office. >> about half of the debate questions at this evening's debate town hall will come from audience members, people who told pollsters they're uncommitted, have not decided who they're going to vote for. they were selected to be there by gala. at the first presidential debate l

. >> i think tammy's got it right. when you think about elections in this country, reagan focuses on the very narrow piece of real estate that is the polling place. there's a great line attributed to lots of people but it's actually tom stallworth that democracy is not in the boat and it's an accounting. reagan at least in theory occurs when something breaks at the counting station where there is some sort of split between the duly cast ballots of voters in the tabulation of the results. when we think about rigigng and what we want to talk about today is whether there's something going on with bad backs by somebody to interfere with the process going from a duly cast ballot to a ballot certified result. >> let's pick up on just that issue. what evidence is there that rigging and neither respects the scientists actually going on? >> i would argue that there really isn't any sort of evidence that this is happening. the other thing that i think is really important to talk about is how this has been brought into the public

tammie fields this morning with a special announcement. hey, tammie. >> reporter: yeah, you know, this is my favorite part of th whole program. anna is here from duke energy florida with a big check. >> we are proud sponsors of the school of the week and we are here to present you with $1,000 this morning. >> we are so honored. we are so appreciative. we will put this to good use. >> reporter: we have all these kids we have been showcasing everything that they do. all the students and staff, they got up really bright and early because they are so proud of this 3d program that they're doing as far as printing. that they have been making. they have the arts here. so you see students mast ring dance and musical instruments and environmental science, which is so impressive, everything that you all do. we appreciate you all getting up early and letting us hang out. we thank you for that, and thank you, anna, of course, as always. we love 10news school of the week powered by duke energy florida. muller elementary. i want to -- i know that this i

ta tammy? >> reporter: the wind is just brutal.st like you're getting hit with rocks out here. because of the rain and the wind. let me give you a look. look down there. dwayne, can you give them a shot. look at the trees. that is what wind at 125 plus miles per hour looks like. taking down trees. you can see them on top of the cars there and keep in mind, we're in a hotel so these cars are relatively sheltered but at least a half dozen that are covered with trees. i can only imagine what it looks like on the other side of the island that's not as protected. the storm came in from the south side and then got to us. >>> up next, we'll check back in with bill karins on the historic nature of this storm. not only its size but where it could potentially hit in florida. we're going to have a live report from florida's space coast where matthew could be the strongest hurricane on record to ever hit that part of florida. we'll be right back. business was built with passion... but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. th's why i

the differences that i think tammy was talking about predate donald trump. and i think we can oversimplify it and say on the one hand we have an establishment that's too worried about principle, too tied to big interests, and then good conservatives who care deeply about the issues are too rigid sometimes, and in terms of the economy and income inequality and the wounds that americans are facing, they're too quick to blame trade and immigration. and that's a problem. but the good news is that between those two extreme, there are many republicans who i think after this election can steer the party and the movement in the right direction. >> dickerson: but at the moment, russell moore, we have an election going on, and you have a speaker of the house who won't defend donald trump and mitch mcconnell won't say his name. how do you see things? >> well, i think that's exactly what we see at the grassroots level. even when i'm talking to people who support donald trump, they do so with a conflicted conscience, and they do so with a certain sense of fear and trembl

i'm joined by alfonso aguilar, facebook news contributor tammy bruce and matt schlapp of the american conservative union and russell moore. russell, i want to go back to something you said about this locker room talk. whenre that are happening here that some conservatives i talk to say we can't get back from. on this question of character, you have people saying, you know, what donald trump said was just what gets said in any old locker room, normalizing that behavior. i spent a lot of time covering conservatives who talked a lot about character. what happened to the character question? >> i think what we're seeing right now is the warnings of the old religious right have come through about the course of our culture. i remember watching bill clinton essentially what happened with monica lewinsky, even when he admitted to it and then attacking ken starr and thinking, aren't the democrats are going to be morally outraged by this, and they weren't. now we're seeing the situation where you have horrific talk about sexual assault and boasting and glorying these things, which isn't a one of

so tammy duckworth was born in thailand. her mother is chinese.ution. when you are hearing kirk's comment and we heard it all morning, it is hard to figure out what he was going at there other than some kind of a racial reference. it is unclear here. tammy duckworth is an army war vet who lost her legs and partial use of her arm in iraq and was awarded a purple heart. >>> police in riot gear clashed with protesters over the dakota oil pipeline. 117 demonstrators calling themselves water protectors were arrested. this after they were blocking the pipeline as path. they claim the land rightfully belongs to the native-american tribes. >>> let's get a check on cnn money stream on friday morning. a stream of weak corporate earnings has investors in a funk. dow is down slightly. losses in the europe and asia closing lower. oil has turned lower. the volatile 2016 presidential election might be spooking mom and pop investors. estimated $17 billion was yanked from mutual funds in the past week. nearly all from u.s. mutual funds. the most investors pulled o

>> tammy, we're just looking at a piece from the reuters news agency. numbers not confirmed by our news agency. reuters has upped the death toll in haiti to 339, quoting local officials there. haiti has little of the resources that they have in nassau and the bahamas to deal with this. at least where you are, they can frankly afford, they've got heavy equipment, they can come through there. i bet -- we don't have a terrific damage assessment yet, and yet there is yet more to be discovered. i bet they will make fairly quick work of what's before you. >> reporter: you know, brian, you're right in some of the things you just said. but this afternoon on the radio, the government put out a plea for anybody with four-wheel-drive or larger vehicles, they need those to get across the island to the south side where i had mentioned to you, people were trapped in their homes. so while they have more resources here than haiti, they've got days and possibly weeks of cleanup ahead of them. i don't think they still know the extent of the damage, because they haven't b

tammie. >> i think that's the concern. this is technical because the elections process gets down in the weeds really quickly. it's all in the details, so it's much easier to make a false claim that is broad and expansive and vague and then have to come back it with actual details of what's going on, so i think that's really the challenge we are faced with here. when you have-- i believe it was recently there was a hearing not far from here on the hill about this for a topic and one of the congresswomen said i do believe the russians or anyone had any intention of rigging or hacking anything, but they have already crated chaos and by creating a chaos they had in fact been successful and i'm hopeful that that plays out to be untrue in the long run on november 9, or later on in the month. hopefully election administrators will have thanksgiving because that's always a question if you will be done counting to have fixed-- thanksgiving and i think that's what we will really find out is if in fact i believe they may have underes

charles: let me bring tammy back in here.his is getting very heated and it's a heated election. >> this notion that the system is rigged is true. barack obama has been in there for 8 years with a free hand. and he's leaving people worse off than they have ever been. the problem with liberals, they don't want anybody else to be heard. the issue becomes barack obama has not done anything to solve the problem, he added to it and he destroyed lives. 3.7 million more women in poverty since he took office. >> boris, it felt to me that perhaps this is a calculated move on the part of president obama. particularly 24 hours ahead of the debates to while up donald trump. is the campaign prepared for his buttons to be pushed to get off message and derail the last opportunity to lay out his policies rather than personal contest with hillary clinton. >> we have seen a coordinated attack between the clinton campaign, and the white house. they will do anything they can. donald trump is focused on the message for the american people and nati

tammy is right. we just need to invest money -- whether it is federal money, state money, some partnership between states and localities, we need to find a way to make the cost of elections manageable so they don't have to go hat in hand to the legislature every decade or so. i think they do best on the rules and laws, and tammy is right. many of our laws on the book deal with an election system that looks more like 1910 then -- then 2010. we are not thinking about poll books and the like. we need to look at the community itself. obviously of the university of minnesota with our certificate election administration we are investing in the next generation of election professionals, but we need to understand their job has changed. you are not just someone who is collecting and tabulating votes. you need to think about cyber security, identity theft. you need to think about the way to layout and design a ballot. you need to think about the in yourt communities jurisdiction. complexis much more than it ev

tammy leitner has been through it already in nassau, bahamas.a high rise there, i hope from inside, because it sounds like the conditions are still pretty scary there. >> reporter: yeah, they're still nasty here. you know, hallie, we have new information. we just found out there have been calls from the southern and eastern side of the island asking for rescues. that came from the government agency out here so we're trying to get confirmed how many people may need rescues. there were calls into a local radio station, people saying they were trapped in their home. i called some local government officials and they said they have not been able to deploy to the other side of the island, the southeastern side of the island, which, keep in mind, was the first side to get hit when hurricane came up, so that might have gotten the brunt of the damage, as i mentioned before. so, they are trying to get together some suv vehicles to get over there, but they have not been able to assess if there are people in their homes and if they need to be rescued. halli

tammie fields is live this morning. hey, tammie, how are you doing? >> reporter: great. i am really impressed by these students. that hot dog cooker is a big deal. it's really interesting what these young people are able to do. tell me a little bit about what here. >> right now we are wearing our boards, obviously, which right now i am hooking up receptacles. that's like plugs. so after i hook this up and power it we will be able to plug things in and it will have power. >> reporter: ever thought about becoming an electrician? >> not really. this is fun to take. >> reporter: have you learned how things work like even at home when it comes to electricity? >> yeah. i have learned a lot. >> reporter: wonderful. so you see t people are doing here. i want to whip this camera around and let you see what these young people are doing. that was the energy academy. but, folks, this is the health academy. you see all of these young people here, they are learning all types of skills. literally the kind of skills that would allow them to become cnas, certified nursing assistants. whe

tammy, since you're still with us, i'll just ask you this question. >> sure. jon: isn't it the case that hillary clinton really has no one but herself to blame for the situation in which she finds herself? i mean, everybody is attacking the fbi director, but if she had never used this private e-mail system which she has acknowledged responsibility for and apologized for, none of this would be happening right now. >> well, of course. i mean, the clintons have, both bill and hillary clinton, their tendency is to blame the messenger. this is one of their strategies. and be for mrs. clinton, look, she's learned in a lot of ways from her husband who has been the politician, if you will. and i'm a feminist, and i give women all the credit in the world for causing their own success and their own problems. but she's been moved through a swamp of washington, d.c. that in a way creates these kinds of monsters. and a lot of people try to resist it, but this is why there's such success with donald trump's drain the swamp, that it's an environmental, systemic problem, and

tammy, you want to start? >> sure. i think it's really kricritical this discussion because we're seeing a lot of variety in the news to distinguish exactly what we're talking about here. so there have been reports of rigging. there have been reports of hacking. and those are two very separate and distinct things. we'll probably talk about both of them this morning. but we want to focus in first and foremost on the rigging allegations. the other thing that's really critical to consider as well is that there have been discussions about the elections as a system as a whole, but we really need to be cognizant of the fact there are two real channels here we're talking about. one is voter registration and voter registration databases and systems that list our eligible voters and then there's also the mechanisms that are used to cast and capture and tabulate our balance and our votes. so i think it's important to first of all kind of lay out that groundwork. when we talk about rigging, it's the predetermination of an election

tammy leitner is in the bahamas with the latest. what are the cessions there now? >> hey, the northern edge of the hurricane is just pounding the island here. i want to give you a look at what we're seeing. look at that wind and rain. it's going sideways. the trees are bent over it's so strong, and this isn't the worst of it. it is going to increase. the full force of the hurricane we're told the eye could go over the island and we could get a direct hit. while the wind and rain is a big concern, also the storm surge is an even bigger concern. itted be up to 15 feet. that could cover a lot of the houses here. extremely dangerous. back to you guys. >> tammy leitner, thanks. >> i want to brng in bill karins who is here. on where matthew a no signs of it weakening? >> not at all. strengthening over night. the winds should be going up throughout the day today. i can't imagine a worst case scenario for the klein of florida. cat-4s are catastrophic hurricanes and there's a slight chance it could jump up to a category 5. 125-mile-per-hour winds. only 200 miles away from p

republican senator mark kirk seemed to mock or question the heritage of his democratic challenger tammy duckworth. watch this. >> my family has served this nation going back to the revolution. i bleed for this nation. i still want to be there in the senate when the drums of war sound. people are quick to sound the drums of war. i want to be there to say this is what it costs. if that is the case, let's go. let's make sure the american people understand and hold allies accountable. >> sfenator kirk. >> i forgot your relatives came to serve george washington. >> she was awarded the purple heart. it was extraordinary. >> yeah. lots of words to describe that moment. >>> the feds say a former nsa contractor stole the names of u.s. agents. details next on "early start." ♪ this is the new comfort food. and it starts with foster farms simply raised chicken. california grown with no antibiotics ever. let's get comfortable with our food again. >>> new this morning, the battle to liberate mosul getting bloodier. 900 isis militants killed in the first 11 days of the mission. the few remaining are u

joining me to discuss, tammy bruce, carl higbie. listen, it's obvious that paul ryan and a few others have their sights set on 2020, but are they actually rooting for donald trump to lose? they're in an awkward position, aren't they? >> i think there are people that are probably eyeing 2020, and i also think there is ideological differences between donald trump and other members of the party. but, look, he's the republican nominee, he won fair and square, and the two weeks left, focus should be on one, getting donald trump elected and two, getting republicans in the tough senate house races past the finish line. two things about this, charles, one, nothing that donald trump is talking about doing if he gets to the white house whether repealing obamacare or border security is going to get done with republican majorities in the senate and the house. secondly, everyone's fate is tied together. the better that donald trump does in states like wisconsin does in states like florida, the better senators running for re-election like marco r

>> tammy leitner in the bahamas. we don't know the damage in haiti because it's hard to communicate with the outlying areas. sam, you've been watching what tammy is experiencing. is that what is about to hit florida? >> reporter: it's certainly within the realm of possibility, andrea. here's why, that storm was a category 3-4 as it moved through those islands. basically as it moved through the islands, the weather was easier on the east side of the storm than on the west side of the storm than the east side. so, wherever you see the center of the storm passing, the strongest weather is on the east side of it. it's a little easier. not a lot but a little. on the west side of it. now, here's what's going on. later on tonight into the early morning hours, there's the beach. that's all open atlantic right there. this storm matthew is driving by the coastline. we're not sure at this point because we haven't seen it make its northwestern turn. is it 20 miles off that coastline? is it 40 miles off that coastline? yes, we're

tammy duckworth appears to be on a glide path to win.et's not forget, illinois, democratic state, also barack obama's home state. putting that aside. sign of desperation, though, right there. as you said, a lot of people have weighed in including hillary clinton. let's take a look at what she put out on twitter this morning where she says thankful for tammy duckworth and her family's service to the country. it's really not that hard to grasp. to tie this all together, tammy duckworth is correct. her mother is from thailand. her father was born in the united states and her father's side of the family goes all the way back. i think mark kirk probably woke up this morning and said what did i do to myself. >> mark preston, many thanks. >>> coming up in the newsroom, die-hard trump supporters quick to share their opinions of hillary clinton.
