in the world. and yet 2020 was also the year the democrats nominated by their free choice an elderly white man from a slave state who once eulogized a klan recruiter. the anti-white party picks the white guy. how does that happen? pretty simple. democrats care about power. power derives from winning. when you lose, you don t have power. bernie sanders couldn t win. b sanders terrified the donor class. from a fund-raising perspective, that turned out to be a wise choice. by the end of that cycles democrats spent $400 million just for mark zuckerberg. that does not even include the tens of billions in free media coverage as slick and dishonest as any paid ad. unlike paid ads, is not regulated by campaign finance law. so if you add all of that up, the democratic party dropped more in that presidential year than the entire annual gdp of most african countries. all to dislodge donald trump from the white house. nothing like that has ever happened. can they do it again? that s the
good to be with you. i m katy tur. we ve never seen anything like this before in key places across the country, interest in the election is so intense that millions have showed up to vote early. shattering turnout records, especially in the midterm year. who does that help? and is all of that enthusiasm reflected in the polls? we re going to explore that in just a moment. along with the concerning rise in threats at polling places, axios is reporting local mayors and police chiefs are being warned that extremists like the proud boys and the oath keepers are signing up as poll workers and drop box monitors, as part of localized efforts to intimidate voters. again, we will get to all of that in a moment. but first, if you were not already convinced by the campaign ads, or the mailers, or the emails, or the texts, last night s debates gave voters, you potentially, a lot to chew over. candidates in close races, in pennsylvania, michigan, and new york, faced off, first up in penns
shimon, you ve obtained the report and read it. tell us what you ve learned. reporter: the lackadaisical response, they talk about how there was no command, no control, no leadership essentially on the scene of the shooting. it was just truly chaos, every officer doing their own thing. we re also learning what the police chief, the school police chief, pete arredondo, told the committee. he appeared before the committee. he explained his thinking. he said at one point he didn t believe there were any kids inside the score because it was awards day. what he said was he looked at an adjacent room, room 110, and when he went in there, there was no one in there, and it made himly were no babies as he said inside the room. of course, we know that was not the case. he also describes how initially his thinking was that this was an active shooter situation, but then what happens is he starts to believe that the subject, the gunman, is barricaded, and that in order to rescue the oth
but gavin newsom is not driven crazy. it doesn t bother him. he s never apologized. he s never revised what he said before. he just kept going. this is a man who will say anything. people who will say anything, tend to be willing to do anything. like joe biden, he has consistently run as a moderate and falsely, back in 2008, mayor of san francisco he promised to eliminate homelessness in the city within ten years. that didn t work out. he s never apologized. homelessness has grown by double digits under his stewardship. if you want to understand who gavin newsom really is, if you want to appreciate not just the dishonesty, but the deep malice at the core of him, desire to hurt other people and indifference to human suffering that has been the hallmark of his governship, watch this clip from 2020. clean and sober is one of the
governship, as a disappointment. her radical policies have crushed the state. and who would have thought that we would be glued to the new york governor s debate, incumbent kathy hochul and republican congressman lee zeldin who voted to overturn the 2020 election had such divergent narrative on nearly every topic, at times it seemed like they weren t even on the same stage. your name was on the amicus brief in support of a supreme court decision to overturn roe v. wade. i don t trust this. i really don t trust this. can i respond to that? real briefly, please. i mean, listen, i stated that the first day that i m in office, i will declare a crime emergency and suspend the pro-criminal laws because there is a crime emergency. can i respond to abortion? let me talk about crime. there is a lot to discuss and a whole lot at stake. let melee it out. nbc s correspondent ron allen
