Plus a bizarre scheme to try to smear the special counsel, an attempt to target robert mueller. How a pro trump conspiracy theorist is linked to all this. Well talk to a woman contacted in the plot. We have a ton to get to. Our team is ready to go across the country, covering all of it. I want to start with donald trump and his last big push starting today, trying to tap into some hot button issues he hopes will keep republicans in power in a lot of instances, making claims that are misleading or just not true. Were the only country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years with all of those benefits. They want to raise your taxes, open your borders. We have other tax cuts planned. In that caravan you have some very bad people. When you looked at that bridge loaded up with people, thats called an invasion of our country. Nbcs Kelly Odonnell is at the white house. Kelly, if i know anything, just as i have my
To tell. The one polling place gets moved literally out of town. Yeah. I mean, in kansas on average, a polling place serves about 1,200 voters. In dodge city, its one polling place for 13,000 voters, and they took it out of town. Its like in trying to get the local officials there, the clerk whos made these decisions is a republican clerk whos been in close communication with the republican secretary of state whos running for governor. Trying to get answers is a saga. Cant wait. Tomorrow night . Yeah. Thank you, rachel. The president went to pittsburgh today you with the on invitation and with no one waiting to welcome him when he arrived at the airport. Usually when air force one lands anywhere in this country, the local mayor, no matter what the mayors party is, is there to greet the president. The governor is usually there, the United States senators, local members of congress often fly on air force one with the president. None of that happened today. No one in american politics, re
Oh, funny. The president where he goes tells us about where the race is headed. 11 stops over the next several days all of them in places with tough gubernatorial and senate races. I think you will see that fruitful, particularly when it comes to the senate. This is how the president has decided to close out the final stretch of the Midterm Election campaign. Focused on issues that divide americans. Often along cultural lines. There are constitutional scholars saying the 14th amendment is misinterpreted. You cannot end this with an executive order. This is more of the same of what hes been saying. Taking babies out of the arms of their moms. Warning about a caravan thats over 1,000 miles away. Putting troops on the border. I have been appalled at what i have seen coming out of the white house since trump was elected. Trump will trump. Trump will trump. I look at the results and things and the economy is booming. Special counsel Robert Muellers investigation in the 2016 election moves f
Not come himself to pittsburgh today on the first day of the first funerals. City leaders had asked him to please wait until the city has buried its dead, at least. If for no other reason than the resources necessary to protect these funerals, having to be diverted to instead protect the president. They were not telling him he is never welcome in pittsburgh. They were just asking him to please at least put it off maybe until next week. Preserve Public Safety resources in pittsburgh so that the funerals can be protected in case any sort of, you know, copycat attacker decides to come out and attack the funerals, after the suspect in this case has killed these people in the synagogue in the first place. The president rejected all of those requests and showed up in pittsburgh today anyway, and that, of course, is a huge Public Safety ordeal for any place a president of the United States shows up in any circumstances. Today in pittsburgh, because of the president s trip, they cleared out wh
Tomorrow night . Yeah. Thank you, rachel. The president went to pittsburgh today you with the on invitation and with no one waiting to welcome him when he arrived at the airport. Usually when air force one lands anywhere in this country, the local mayor, no matter what the mayors party is, is there to greet the president. The governor is usually there, the United States senators, local members of congress often fly on air force one with the president. None of that happened today. No one in american politics, republican or democrat, wanted to have anything to do with the president s uninvited, largely unwelcome trip to pittsburgh. Republican speaker of the house refused the invitation, so did the leader of the United States senate and the Democratic Leaders of the senate and house of representatives. Pennsylvanias republican senator refused to accompany the president to pittsburgh. And pennsylvanias democratic senator refused to join the president in pittsburgh and was not invited to jo
