Least 50 constructive. Good evening. Its about how we solve this. Im chuck todd on the road live why you want to take your in phoenix, arizona, where we smartphone off your dinner table so you dont send all the wrong are getting ready to kick off signals to your kids, that you some special coverage here at dont actually want to be there mtp daily. Rooted with them. It officially begins tomorrow. So them is 50 constructive. Its our meet the midterms road trip. Bring you the best of it both during the week and on sunday. I spend a lot of time on what youre talking about, the last well have live shows from some of the hottest midterm 200 years of media history. Battlegrounds in the country right here in arizona, nevada, the yellow journalism phase was florida and texas. Well be talking to voters, tribal press, but because it was candidates and local leaders about what really matters to local, what ended up happening, them in these historic midterms we didnt know National Media at that time. What ended up happening is you which are now ready for this had a whole bunch of bigotry just 21 days away. Against people that werent in your place, but in your place the National Conversation has you thought people were a part been uprooted. Of your same tribe so you felt things today veered into a truly like there was a we. We were in it locally together. Trumpian realm of absurdity and again, lots of broken stuff about that phase in history. But what ended up happening with obscene tee which is how this the rise of National Media in president likes it. The middle third of this century is we ended up with a bunch of after senator warren released the results of a dna test, the shared american facts and were going back to a phase where you president attacked her as a phony and a total fraud. Can have different facts he alluded to the fact that the depending on your ideology. The problem is youre not connected to place anymore. Results say she is between 1 64 on social media you often only hear from people that believe and 1 1,000th native american. The exact same things you do and say everybody else are the bad guys. Which doesnt seem to square as lets find good versus evil against people we disagree with her choice to identify herself on politics. As native american when she was so you have a massive decline of a professor. Local connection and local friendship. She even produced a slick video the biggest thing seems to be about it, which led to a the local newspaper. Im curious how many of your scathing rebuke from the cherokee nation. Its also led to some hand neighbors still get the Lincoln Journal star delivered to them . Wringing from some democrats who want the party to stay focused do they even deliver every day . On midterms. That arguably got tougher they still do. The omaha world herald are our because senator warren fired back calling him a liar and a racist name caller. Speaking of name calling, then dailies. I live in fremont, 25,000 person the president called stephanie clifford, aka Stormy Daniels, farm town. We still have a daily as well. Quote, horseface. Husker Sports Coverage is the main reason people subscribe to the president ial rhetoric the omaha world herald. Escalated from there. When i graduated high school in Stormy Daniels responded with an 1990, i think 35 of nebraska xrated tweet about the households subscribed to the president s shortcomings, world herald. Closing with game on, tiny. Today i think its only 10 to then her lawyer 2020 wannabe 15 so the decline of local journalism does Say Something with the decline of local we. And i named this book them ripped into mr. Turump as a because we need to recover a we. Disgusting misogynist, and most of that we isnt going to be found in politics, its going to be found in your neighborhood. I understand that, but embarrassment. Political leaders have to be role models. Liar. We are 21 days to the midterms and this president is a role and seeing some elected leaders model but not necessarily one seemingly bending to the that im guessing you would want president s will by following your kids or my kids to follow him into the muck. When it comes to how to deal because if you want to figure with people you disagree with, out who thinks they benefit from this kind of environment, ask for instance. You dont call women yourself who created it . Horseface. Lets bring in tonights panel. Thats not the right move, right . Thats not the way men act. Joins me from washington, so theres a lot that should be kimberly atkins, bill kristol done differently in our National Political discourse, but donald and ruth marcus is a washington trump cant solve this problem because donald trump didnt create this problem. Post columnist and deputy politics cant solve this problem because politics didnt create this problem. Politics are important, but editorial page editor. Politics should be about coming up with a Cost Effective bill, im going to start with infrastructure bill. You. Politics shouldnt be the place when this whole idea of donald where we look to find good and trump does donald trump change or do people change to evil and grand meaning. But our politics is rewarding become him, i guess . It. Thats what i think is the it seems to me that whether its incentive im with you, but the incentive structure tells Elizabeth Warren feeling the you something else, does it not . Need to respond to michael yeah, youre right. Avenatti to insert the name of right now antitribe, the things any other democrat, eric holder were against, the reason this last week, folks have decided is happening in politics is becoming trump is better than because theres not enough we fighting trump. Shared tribe about the stuff yeah, you have to sort of youre for. We know what makes people happy. Become trump to fight him, which we know this philosophically and i think is a mistake actually politically, but easy for me to theologically but now we know it in sociology too. Youre happy if you have a tight say, im not out there. People are responsible for their nuclear family. Own actions so no one should use youre happy if you have three donald trump as an excuse, whether youre a politician or or four deep longterm some other kind of public friendships. Youre happy if you have figure. But i do think my colleague put meaningful work and coworkers. Youre happy if you have a worship community. It this way. The digital revolution is undermining those things. Trump corrupt, trump isnt we have half as many friends in corrupt. Its easy to degrade discourse america as we did 27 years ago in the literature. We had 3. 2 friends per american and tell others i have to go there. You look up and everyone is in 1990. There or a lot of people are 1. 8 friends today. The consequences of that are there. I have a slightly contrarian pretty dramatic and a lot of view. Lonely people are looking to maybe this is pie in the sky washington to solve their problem or looking to social Good Government wishfulness. I think some of the politicians media to find a tribe of who running around the country this they can have the common year are running pretty, you experience of hating together. Know, impressive campaigns, thats not going to fulfill you. Issue focused campaigns, trying while washington needs to do a better job, we also need to be a little bit above the americans to recognize were not above the fray but willing going to build new habits for to be bipartisan and gentlemenly rootedness, even though technology is enabling us to be or gentlewomanly. Rootless. Your late 19th century analog i saw clips from a debate with fits well. Urbanization, industrialization david brat and i think theyre had a big lonely moment thats a going to win some of these people and maybe thats a bit of lot like our lonely moment now. A lesson that im not sure well get through it, but well getting empty mud with trump helps you. Get through it with new habits. I want to play a clip from but senator, facebook tells right here in arizona from last me i have so many more friends nights senate debate, because than you just said. You could argue that until i say that rhetorically. Martha mcsally embraced more of the trumpian style, she was so do i, lets do it again. Losing. Shes embraced more of the id like to maybe see you on trumpian style and this thing is a coin flip now. My podcast where we have an even longer conversation about this. Let me play this clip and get senator ben sasse, good luck kimberly and ruth to respond on with the book. Its an important read, i hope the other side. What came out last week, cnn people take the time to do it. Thanks, chuck. Up ahead, senator heidi reported that in 2003 when she was on the radio, you said it heitkamps mea culpa at a very was okay for americans to join inopportune time. Portune time the taliban to fight against us. Okay. You said you had no problem with [ buttons clicking ] that. Were running out of time [ camera shutter clicks ] so, now that you have a house, you can use homequote explorer. But i want to ask if youre going quiet. Im blasting my quads. To apologize to the veterans and me to say its okay to commit janice, look. Treason. Martha has chosen to run a im in a meeting. Janice, look. [ chuckles ] Campaign Like the one youre look, look. Im looking. Its easy. You just answer some simple questions online, seeing where shes engaging in and you get Coverage Options to choose from. Ridiculous attacks and smearing my campaign. Youre ruining my workout. Shes just trying to cut, cut, cut and not share the full cycling is my passion. Picture. The truth is that ive always youre ruining my workout. Fought for arizona and i have been proud to serve our state in Digital Transformation actually what does ithappen . O make elected office for over 13 do you just flip a switch. And presto your business is magically transformed . Years. Kimberly and ruth, whats interesting about this senate not quite. Race to me is that it epitomizes it takes a groundbreaking company like dell technologies. This back and forth bill and i just had. One is trying a trumpian way and a family of seven Technology Leaders working behind the one is trying, no, no, no, no, scenes to make the impossible. No, i want to be the moderate in the middle there. Reality. What are we seeing, kimberly . For instance, were helping to give cars the power to read i think weve been seeing your mind from anywhere. This in these local races, whether its congressional races, gubernatorial races, since 2016 now with candidates were helping up to 40 of the nations donated blood supply. Trying the trumpian way versus to be redirected to the areas and people that need it most. Their opponents with varying results, right. It hasnt always been happening and were even developing technology to create a whole new down ticket the way that it will vision for the blind. Probably happen in 2020. I think those are two separate so while you might not see what were doing. Things. I think that gets to the heart what were doing is changing the way we all see the world. Of the criticism by democrats of senator warren coming out with magic cant make Digital Transformation happen. This seemingly unofficial but we can. Kickoff of her president ial campaign now before the midterms lets make it real. Are over. The way she battles donald trump is going to be very different from the way you see a lot of other local races, many of which, most of which, i think, are about things like jobs, in tonights meet the education, housing, and that the midterms, another major setback two messages are really getting for perhaps the most endangered in the way, or thats what senate incumbent there is, democrats are really afraid of. Democrat heidi heitkamp. Ruth . The north dakota senator is now and, chuck, you know, it may apologizing for misidentifying some women as survivors of be possible to run effectively domestic or Sexual Violence in a against mini trump if you have a trump wannabe candidate, so i reechb recent ad. That ad ran in a north dakota listened to that arizona debate newspaper. Heitkamp said some of the women last night. But i think the real challenge listed had not given their permission to be included or is something that kimberly just pointed out, which is we just werent victims. This was a major mistake on see time and again, and we our campaigns part, and i cant talked about this on the show last week, when youre running say im sorry enough. Against the real thing, which is unfiltered, unabashed, i am so, so sorry that this happened. Unrestrained trump, and he goes heitkamp trailed cramer by 12 low and you try to go right back points in a recent fox news poll at him, it just seems to keep on and that was conducted before she voted against brett dragging everybody down and we kavanaughs confirmation. Saw it in the primaries with heitkamps reelection hopes marco rubio, we saw difficulty have been appearing dimmer of late in a state donald trump won running against him in the by more than 35 points two years general election. And now Elizabeth Warren is in ago. Throw in a mistake like this and that same kind of swamp, i it could make something that seems nearly impossible probably guess, of trying to outtrump trump. Well, it wasnt even impossible. More mtp daily after the break. Trying how about the fact, i wanna keep doing what i love, bill, that she thought she had to respond to this . Doesnt that just hand trump all the power . I mean didnt that just tell you something about her president ial her president ial Campaign Going forward . Yeah, she put her president ial aspirations ahead of the party. She wanted to get this out of the way three weeks before the midterms. She has a real problem, she really did apparently take advantage of a claim to be a native american that was based thats the retirement plan. On rather little evidence. With my annuity, i know there is a guarantee. I think its fair to say. She certainly didnt correct it its for my family, its for my self, when she was listed as one in its for my future. Annuities can provide protected income for life. Various law professor directo directories and harvard claimed learn more at retire your risk dot org. She was one for affirmative action purposes and so forth. I think shell pay a surprisingly high price for this. I originally thought who cares, this is ridiculous, but i just think it shows that she did it earlier and then she did it now and i dont think its going to matter much in the Midterm Election but this is a pretty important election, especially if youre a democrat or liberal who think trump is damaging this country. And this distraction between Hillary Clinton feeling the need to give tv interviews, why, out of the blue, when shes clearly going to get asked about her husband and bringing that all up and then Elizabeth Warren doing that. Having said that, i still think this could be one of the pauses the republicans had a bit of a should happen everydred five hundred years, right . Comeback that sometimes happens in these wave elections. Fact is, there have been twentysix in the last decade. I remember democrats had a comeback two or three weeks out and then it stalls out and the allstate is adapting. Wave reasserts itself. With drones to assess home damage sooner. I wouldnt be surprised if and if a flying object damages your car, democrats end up doing awfully you can snap a photo and get your claim processed in hours, well despite Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton. Go ahead, ruth. Not days. Well, theres one question plus, allstate can pay your claim in minutes. About the timing here that i think is a real legitimate question about whether this is now that you know the truth. Helpful to the democrats as a are you in good hands . Party versus whether its helpful to Elizabeth Warren to do it now. I do think i just want to say that i think bill slightly overstated the background of Elizabeth Warren and the degree to which she relied on or time now for the lid. Benefited from native american the panel is back, kimberly atkins, bill kristol, ruth heritage. And you since i called out bill there, you called me on marcus. Something that i actually didnt bill, you ill let you kick say very well, chuck, which is this off because you seem to hint at it. It wasnt that she outtrumped do you believe this is a we trump, its that she got sucked into responding to trump. Are in a just a moment of and you know, we did see president obama respond to trump sort of republican a dead cat very effectively, if it was a bounce for the republicans and this is just you know, it little bit pathetic that he had to do that on the birthers, but feels better now because voters are engaged and youre seeing we all knew he was born in it, or is this a real comeback . Hawaii and then he proved to the what are you looking for to determine which this is . You lo satisfaction of anybody with a determine which this is . Willingness to be rational that ill give you the courageous he was born in hawaii. Answer, which is, i dont know. I think one of the problems with and both are possible. This Elizabeth Warren response good theres nothing wrong with this is, sure, i can accept that her answer. In 94 and 2010, this is the two family lore was that she had first term midterms that were native american heritage, but waves and the only two this is you know, its firstterm midterms that were awfully thin so im not sure the waves in recent times, this evidence was really quite as happened. And i remember 94 very well because i was involved in that conclusive as she seemed to and seeing a lot of daytoday tracking polls. Expect landed with the early october, there was this moment, bill clinton was out on conclusive thud of the stump, the economy was convincingness that she turning up, some thought expected. Let me ask you this, democratic incumbents looked kimberly, and i would like like they were stabilizing, a everybody to weigh in on this. Little comeback in some of the why are we just why is the congressional races, and it did president s horseface comment turn out to be a dead cat bounce or a bear market rally, and the feel like its just being last two weeks, the wave really shrugged away like let me crashed and was huge. And 2010 had the same thing for play
