News I'm Ari Shapiro in Washington d.c. And I'm Mary Louise Kelly in Atlanta which is also where you will find Oprah Winfrey today Vice President Mike Pence is in Georgia to Barack Obama arrives tomorrow Donald Trump plans this weekend which tells you something about quite how big a battleground Georgia shaping up to be in the midterms the big names are here to fire up voters especially in the hotly contested governor's race and one of the biggest prizes on Tuesday is a group of voters that's been called soccer moms security moms suburban college educated white well off women who have tended in past to vote Republican here in Georgia whether they will do so again next week is a big question in Atlanta's sprawling increasingly diverse suburbs suburbs which we are deep into now or in North Atlanta headed to meet 3 voters all women all white and all coming at Tuesday's election from. Really different directions. Really don't feel right. Sally Riker is our hostess she has agreed to let us all get together at her house here in the north Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta we settle in around her coffee table water and women seltzer in hand and I ask how the 3 of them feel about the state of the country heading into Tuesday's vote Chelsea McGee talks 1st she is 33 Account Manager at a financial planning firm committed republican I feel like everyone's polarized and heartbreaking to me next sally chimes in she's 42 by the way owns her own consulting business voted mostly democratic in the past I feel like politics overall has really hit a new low you know I I'm just heartbroken as well. Well discouraged I would echo what Chelsea and Sally have said this is Melanie couch mn She's 69 retired entrepreneur voted Republican pretty much her whole life but she went for Hillary Clinton in 2016 I'm scared. Being the older one in the group I'm really worried that. When it's my time time to pass on how this country's going to how I'm going to leave it really well if these 3 women sound united in how down they are about the state of the country and political discourse these days they are not united in how they plan to express that come Tuesday let me ask all 3 of you are you planning to vote on Tuesday or you've already voted you're going to have are going to Dayton and I've already voted and I'm going to so what issues are top of their minds in this midterm election Melanie throws out immigration tax cuts she is the one who voted mostly Republican for more than 50 years this year in the governor's race she's backing Stacy Abrams the Democrat is really gut wrenching for me to make that decision but I just really was it was really turned off by Brian Kemp's commercials with a shotgun sitting in the back of his pickup truck with the Republican candidate here in the Republican candidate especially in today's environment with the shootings in Florida at the school and I voted before the bombs and the massacre in Pittsburgh but I feel comfortable that I made the right choice about you Sally. To be honest I'm kind of dreading voting because there's so much slander and just you know I really almost just hate even trying to do research really anymore because it's all it's difficult to do you think about not voting for how hard you were yes I do think about not voting but then I think about everybody who you know fights for our rights to vote and so for me it's not an option is Shust it's just a painful thing Chelsea what issues are driving you to the polls on Tuesday so I've already voted and I voted for straight Republican ticket it matters to you to vote Republican party loyalty voting along party lines I have not always voted party lines but I do for the most part we put the the same question to each of you how much does it matter to you whether you're voting for Republican Democrat voting along party lines versus for an individual or issues in this race in 2018 Melanie I think in this race it doesn't really matter much I think in the past I think braced a lot of the conservative values. But I just I feel differently this year. So I'm I'm going more on issues so how about you do you care which party you're voting for on Tuesday I in the past have only been a Democrat. But I think that this last 3 years has been really difficult with just the right Eric in the language and I am going to probably vote for Stacy. But the gun ads didn't bother me in actually frankly I didn't like they were running when the kids were around and I do my best to keep guns out of our house and I really don't even like any of violence on the t.v. So I didn't really think it. It's funny when there are all these mass shootings everywhere right now Chelsea How about you join responded daughter I mean I own guns I've been around guns my whole life I'm a huge advocate for women empowerment and I believe that guns play a part in that and everything else is kind of coming on the heels in like why don't we women like protect ourselves and I definitely feel safer carrying a firearm I'm curious in this year's election Trump is not on the ballot anywhere how much is he on your mind as you think about who to vote and how you feel about the issues so. So part of how I feel is you know very polarizing because of Trump I do not share Trump's values his leadership style anything that he is about yes the economy's doing great are for one case are great but on the flip side of that we you know there are a lot of things that are completely upside down from them Vironment to the way that we treat women to children and I can go on and on with with every day things that are happening so when I find that out it flips me instantly so Trump coming to campaign for a local candidate would make you less likely to vote yet person absolutely rather than the other way around Chelsea are you voting on local issues national issues do you even make that distinction Trump on your mind. On your mind every day. I was not I was a never a Trump or coming into a presidential election that's good and I did actually end up voting for him but it was hard like a little I had to absentee ballot and my ballot sat there on my desk and I prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed about it and cried and prayed and now it's coming and this election and you know I see the great decisions that he's making from an economic standpoint and sometimes he's saying one thing but something else is the opposite being done something that we do you actually like but it's healthy people all the time like I really wish that Trump would take it from like a 12 to an 8 and I think everyone would like him a lot more toned down the rhetoric. Down Chelsea McGee We also talked with Melanie councilman and Sally Riker elsewhere in the program today we are headed to the state house to check in on claims of voter suppression here in Georgia at the White House this afternoon President Trump defended his decision to send as many as 15. 1000 active duty troops to the border with Mexico it would be the biggest domestic deployment of active duty soldiers in modern history the president justified this mobilization by pointing to a caravan of Central American migrants close to a 1000 miles from the u.s. Border making its way north N.P.R.'s David Welch joins us now hi David Hey Ari we've heard the president talk a lot about this migrant caravan ever since across the New Mexico from Guatemala 11 days ago did he say anything new today he did he said that those caught at the border will no longer be released until they have a court hearing which has been the practice because there hasn't been enough places to detain these migrants and he said the children will be held with their parents in tent cities that the military will be building he also said people will be able to apply for asylum only at legal points of entry along the border right now they can do so any where and when he asked he was asked if the military will be shooting people he said he hoped not but I will tell you this anybody throwing stones rocks like they did to Mexico in the Mexican military Mexican place where they badly hurt police and soldiers of Mexico we will consider that a firearm and so that would appear to be a rationale for shooting stone throwers in April Trump ordered a couple 1000 National Guard reservists to the Mexican border 15000 active duty soldiers is a much bigger presence why does he say this is needed now well a reporter asked him if this was all political given its timing right before the midterm elections and trying to push back on that political about a caravan of thousands of people and out others forming pouring up into our country we have no idea who they are all we know is they're pretty tough people when they can. Blast through the Mexican military and Mexican police they're pretty tough people in trouble as has also sort of the their gang members and tough criminals as well as Middle Easterners among the 3000 or so people that the Department of Homeland Security estimates are in this group of migrants but he's offered no evidence to back up those claims the defense secretary authorized this movement of troops to the border what does he have to say about sending this many people well Jim Maddis has fallen in step with Trump on this deployment he was asked yesterday at the Pentagon by a reporter if this was a stunt and his response was We don't do stunts in this department how long are the troops likely to stay there well right now the plan is to keep the troops there only until the middle of December it's not clear whether the folks in this caravan could even reach the u.s. Border by then they still have about 900 miles to go and for now it looks like they'll be walking that distance if they indeed even make it that far N.P.R.'s David Well no thank you David you're welcome Mary.

From n.p.r. News this is All Things Considered I'm Ari Shapiro and I'm Mary Louise Kelly the 2800 midterm elections are on pace to shatter spending records our next story is about a race that's drawing some of that big money it's in New Mexico and it is a race that usually doesn't get a lot of attention in a race for land commissioner N.P.R.'s Nathan Rott reports even in New Mexico the land commissioner is not a well known position but don't let that fool you the person in the role is responsible for a combined area larger than 9 us States 9000000 acres of state Trust Lands The goal is to get revenues from those lands and go on to fund the state's public schools and parks and there's almost no oversight Here's Ray Powell who served 2 stents in a position linked commissionership sell the land lease or enter trade away and without anybody else's approval which is unlike any other constitutional office I've ever heard of so if you're a rancher who wants to graze cattle on state lands you go to the commissioner same if you're a multibillion dollar oil and gas company looking to drill or if you're a group that wants more renewable energy we're seeing more money than ever before being spent to learn to listen office Brian sander off as a political analyst and pollster in New Mexico and he says you can't watch t.v. For more than 5 minutes without seeing ads like this why are Chevron and big oil and gas companies spending $2000000.00 or 40 bad loans for state land commissioner because they know he's their man in the state land office as a legislator Stephanie Garcia Richard Childress an opportunity for rural communities such as to have reliable heating resources the ads are being paid for largely by out of state interests oil and gas companies are lining up behind Patrick Lyons a Republican who's been in the office before environmental groups are supporting Stephanie Garcia Richard a Democrat who has promised to hold oil and gas accountable I believe that I represent the future he represents the past grocer Richard says she's not out to pull the plug on oil and gas. The state relies heavily on the industry for funds but also I have been quite outspoken in my desire to diversify our economy New Mexico and to really provide bold leadership around buildup of renewable energy on state land lines her opponent says he's also for renewable energy but oil and gas is the state's bread and butter and he points out it's booming right now let's right as best we can you know as a $2000000000.00 surplus you know what's in prescription doing school and bridges and highways I mean we can do a lot of infrastructure. So important and so on that works works well and gas companies and make sure we maximize our revenue sametime Take care rely on the fight in some ways mirrors a larger one playing out nationally the Trump administration is pushing its America energy 1st agenda opening up more public lands for oil and gas drilling propping up coal all in an effort to try and boost the economy environmental groups citing climate change are pushing for a rapid shift to renewables like solar and wind to Miss Foster is with Conservation Voters New Mexico the state level is where it's at now to be able to put protections in place and and get these really great candidates elected for example she says if Garcia Richard is elected we can do things like implement a state like nothing capture rule which would force oil and gas companies to capture emissions of methane a powerful greenhouse gas on state lands the trouble ministration has rolled back those types of regulations nationally Fosters Group and others are also targeting public utility commission races in New Mexico Arizona and brassica in Georgia the goal they say is to shape the country's energy future from the bottom up Nathan Rott n.p.r. News Brazil's new president is promising to bring dramatic changes to his country Jay are both capitalized on voters frustration with corruption violence and economic turmoil he's a far right politician who promises to loosen environmental regulations including in the Amazon rain forest this alarms scientists like his on a pad while she's president of the Institute. Ecological research in the state of Sao Paulo and she joins us now welcome It's a pleasure to be here what are both sonars plans on environmental policy one of the things that he is considering is to put together the Agriculture Ministry and the environmental ministry this is in no way like a given your chicken to the fox because there's a huge pressure on the rural list site they are very powerful landowners and they want to De Forest more usually for cattle and soy there is an international pressure on this so the idea of putting these 2 ministries together is a very scary it's a threat to the environment when you say this pressure on both an argument pressure to cut down more trees to produce more beef and soybeans or do you mean pressure to preserve the environment and maintain the Amazon rain forest what we see is pressure to De Forest more and have cattle just in terms of practical consequences if Bolsa Naro does say the Amazon rain forest is now open for logging and mining and agriculture what the immediate real world impact of that be I think the 1st world would definitely come with a lot of pressure and I'm hoping for that but I don't think he's going to get to the point he has been choosing ministers in a way that are respected today he chose Sachem order to be the minister of justice and he's the symbol of anti corruption so he's been trying to choose good ministers in finance and so forth I don't think he wishes to put down the forest I don't I really don't think that I so different from what you're saying correctly it sounds like you believe that maybe his more extreme campaign promises were just campaign promises and a moderate his views now that he's in power I. Hope so until yesterday he was saying that the 2 ministries would be joint but now he's coming back again so I think it's not decided explain for us how much is at stake here if he does loosen restrictions on deforestation if he does open the Amazon rainforest up to logging and mining and agriculture what are the global consequences of that it's a huge threat because the Amazon is really a source of balance of the whole watchers system and brain system we see already with the defer station that occurred many scientists make it responsible for the crisis of water in the rest of Brazil itself so desertification all the soil being a bro did it could be a loss that I cannot imagine and I cannot bear with because I think the world doesn't deserve it you've been an environmental researcher in Brazil for years can you give us some insight into the kinds of conversations that are happening within the scientific community right now I've been having meetings with many scientists and all the environmentalists in Brazil are really very skeptical and scared scared I think is the best word you know they everything that we have achieved took us 30 years even in the Constitution so I don't know it's in the Constitution so I don't think he's going to have the courage to go against all that there's a great deal of pressure but I don't think that that it's going to get to that exchange Suzanne I've had what is co-founder and president of the Institute for ecological research in the state of South Palo Brazil thanks for joining us for the call Thank you very much and she joined us via Skype.

N. Dot org. From n.p.r. News this is All Things Considered I'm Ari Shapiro in Washington d.c. And I'm Mary Louise Kelly in Atlanta broadcasting today from our member station w a b e we're going to check in now on the congressional district that holds the record most expensive house race in u.s. History Georgia's 6th district and that record more than $55000000.00 spent was said last year in a special election Republican Karen Handel one that special election on Tuesday she's looking to repeat in Congress the very 1st bill that I co-sponsored was a bill to help combat human trafficking running against handle is Democrat Lucy Macbeth who has never held elected office and who in her campaign ads it gets personal I lost my son Jordan but I'm still his mom I still continue to mother him to making sure that I preserve the lives of other children like Lucy MacAfee her son Jordan Davis was shot and killed at age 17 Macbeth has since focused on pushing for stricter gun laws Karen Handel by contrast is indorsed by the n.r.a. Now this is Republican turf This is Newt Gingrich's old district but under Gillespie a political scientist at Emory University here in Atlanta told me the 6th District is changing fast still majority white but the demographics of the district are changing in a way so we're seeing more minorities move into the district but you know it's kind of you know the bedroom community where lots of professionals and their families live more minorities moving in that would be African-Americans Latino who's moving in all that's a trend underway in a lot of America's big city suburbs and those incoming minorities can flip historically red districts to blue but Gillespie is not persuaded the demographics are changing fast enough for this red district to flip at least not if last year's special election is an end to. Cation it really is a question of turnout and the lesson of 27000 was you can do all that you can from a resource standpoint to try to mobilize as many Democrats in the district to turn out to vote and you're sealing maybe 48 percent because the district is 48 percent Democratic So the question is then how many years are you looking at maybe seeing a tipping point is this the year or not so that's a question but then there's also sort of the question of mobilization and so if this were a year where you saw Democrats were more doozie as tick and more interested in the race and following politics more than Republicans then perhaps you could actually see a democratic flip if we see parity in terms of enthusiasm and if we see parity in terms of turnout the fundamentals of the race still privilege Karen Handel So it sounds like your sense is that the 6 district is changing and changing really fast from what was a reliable Republican district for since forever but maybe not quite ready to flip this year is that what the polls are showing I would say that the 6th District is a district that is in the process of changing and that those changes may not happen fast enough for this district to still not be of a Republican leaning district in 20181 other factors might be in play I'm thinking for example this is the 1st national election of the Me 2 era and a lot of women watched the Kavanaugh hearings play out in Washington and felt deeply conflicted over the state of the country and this is their chance to go out and vote so I mean we'll have to see what women do in this district particularly college educated white women do they vote party especially if they've been accustomed to voting for the Republican Party or do they stay home because they are conflicted if they stay home because they are conflicted then that boosts Lucy Macbeth's chances. But I mean I think that the biggest question for the college educated women in this district is particularly white ones is whether or not they actually show up to vote at all Professor Gillespie thank you thank you that's under Gillespie professor of political science at Emory University here in Atlanta some top Republicans are distancing themselves from Iowa Republican Congressman Steve King because of his racially offensive comments and ties with white supremacist organizations and how King's hard line views on immigration have been known but the Pittsburgh shooting brought more attention to his record this week he lost corporate support and the chairman of the House Republican Campaign Committee called King's comments and actions inappropriate n.p.r. Congressional reporter Kelsey Snow is following this and she's here in the studio hike also Hey there it's been widely known for a long time that King makes comments that many deem offensive about immigrants he has been chairing posts from racist accounts on Twitter that's not new so why are Republicans denouncing him now right yet King's views are absolutely not a secret he's very open about it and in fact he's met with the president particularly about his views on immigration and he has celebrated the fact that the president is adopting some of King's own views like ending birthright citizenship which is something king has advocated for a long time but what happened was is that after the shooting in Pittsburgh more and more information about recent associations he had with an Austrian group with ties to Nazis started to emerge he didn't interview in August with Austria's Freedom Party which was founded by and former Nazi officer while he was on a trip visiting Holocaust site now in the interview he discussed the decline of western civilization and talked about immigrants replacing white Europeans and that all came out shortly after the shooting which caused more and more attention to it and as we said there's been criticism from within his own party there have been corporations that have distanced themselves from him what is King's response then he says his comments were being misinterpreted he was at an event in Iowa and he was defending himself Here's a little bit of what he said it's. Not tolerable to accuse me to be associated with a guy that shot 11 people in Pittsburgh I am a person who has stood with Israel from the beginning that to the length of that nation is a length of my life yeah and he was required defensive in there were several questions at one point in time he got into it with a protester and somebody was asking him to clarify his views but Republican leaders are already abandoning him as you mentioned Steve Stivers who is the person who's in charge of the campaign arm of House Republicans denounced him and there are other people who are pulling party resources but like you said not the 1st time that this has happened and not the 1st time Republicans have criticized him we've seen it happen since gosh I remember happening once in 2013 when that House Speaker Boehner had to say something about it but he's been reelected many times he's been in Congress for 16 years 16 years 68 campaigns and another election on Tuesday is he in danger while he's been tweeting support from other Republicans and you know these controversies and the ones where Republican leaders are forced to respond to him seem to happen at a time when there's a national conversation about immigration and this is no different but we have to remember that the voters back in his home district know who Steve King is and they keep voting for him there has been a little bit of a shift and some Democrats are showing some confidence that maybe they could pick up this seat but that would be a reach because like I said this is a really conservative area and there are more and more Republicans on the national scene who are coming around to adopting his views as evidenced by the president taking taking on the issue of birthright citizenship so there's not a great expectation that he will lose so when you look at the Republican leadership how you are unified Are they on this issue we haven't heard from the speaker of the house or other top Republican leaders you know that's really open Republicans up to the criticism from Democrats who say that King's views have a home within the g.o.p. As a party and that's something that they are going to have to combat no matter what happens with King's re-election that's n.p.r. Congressional reporter Kelsey Snell thank you thank you. The Pittsburgh Santa God shooting has put a spotlight on surging anti semitism here in the u.s. It's also been a shock to European Jews who faced growing anti-Semitism in their countries over the last decade they had viewed the us is a kind of haven in France the Pittsburgh tragedy has been top of the news France has the largest Jewish community after the u.s.

Embassy in Paris Joyce Fein their system does a. Good see the presence of the president of the Union and Sasha goes well read out the names of the victims the speaker goes it all says the Pittsburgh killings were a shock for French Jews for many Jews coming from Europe the u.s.

This is All Things Considered from n.p.r. News I'm Mary Louise Kelly and I'm Ari Shapiro serve my call Cain has been filling our movie screens for half a century his breakout role came in 1966 as the callus heartthrob in Alfie Well you also write we can begin my name age now I suppose you think you're going to see to believe in titles now but you're not sure you can all relax more than 100 movies later Kane is better known these days for his supporting roles including the fatherly butler Alfred in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy you have to find another way you should talk about finishing about a life beyond. It what all showed me shaping you were not well today Sir Michael Caine joins us to talk about his new memoir blowing the bloody doors off Welcome to the program thank you let me 1st ask how I should refer to you you address this question of the book by telling a story about surveillance a living I want to great actors of the 20th century yeah I was doing a picture with him called sleuth and we had to rehearse for 2 weeks before and I had never met him and he was lowered alleviate And before we actually met I got a letter from a saying it's occurred to me that you may be wondering how to address me when we meet and then he said after the handshake I will be Larry forever. Well you're in London and I'm in Washington d.c. But I hope we can have an imaginary handshake. Michael Forever All right. I'd like you to take us back to your youth if you would you were 6 years old when you were evacuated from London during World War 2 in the Blitz Yes How did that experience shaped the person you've become it shaped in a couple of ways actually mentally I did I lived on a farm for 6 years and I got a great education and there was also another thing about the war was an incredible thing for all of us one why I mean talk about use the difficulty which is my motto use the difficulty Yeah use a diff. But used the difficulty was in the war the only food you could get was organic food because they used all the chemicals in explosives and so for 6 years or we it was organic food and there was no sugar and all these things that we would worry about so much now in the war that you couldn't get them so so will grow up sort of very healthily in the war before the war you were poor malnourished you say you had rickets and the war actually helped you become a strong tall healthy person Oh yeah when I came from a slum in London and London and was very smug because we didn't have central heating and all that we had coal fires and so you know it was always smoky and unhealthy terrible a debate taken to the country and the fresh air with exercise and everything I sprang up by the time 6 feet to the bar to time I was 14 I was 6 feet toll. Class in form so much of your early career you write in this book that when you started acting the only working class British actor who had made it in Hollywood was Charlie Chaplin and he was silent That's right he didn't have to talk radio I mean he told me the same accent as I do because he came from exactly the same place as they come from your life you think you're doing great and you're going to do this and you did you're so clever and all that but life depends a lot on timing for all of us and my timing was perfect it was the sixty's which changed everything for Klaus you know we stopped taking notice. Across people and I mean there's still class here in this country but it doesn't count I mean it has no power and so you just happen to come of age at a time when you were able to make strides that somebody of your class would not have been able to 20 years earlier 10 years 10 years someone wrote a leading play with a character called out for he was a company lie about womanizer you know no Wanted ever written a play like that in England it was in error when everybody became something you know to mean. It was quite extraordinary you had crippling stage fright and when you performed on stage you kept a bucket in the wings to be sick and yeah I keep doing something that caused you such terror because I couldn't help it I had to be an actor I wanted to be an actor and of course you have to remember we made the alternative was a factory I mean when I was 20 I was in the Army and I came out of the army when I was 20 odd came when I worked in about a factory I found it really refreshing that you say in this book that it's Ok to take roles in films because of the money everything has to be an Academy Award winning performance because when you start or so you had out you know not made to swarm which was a dreadful picture but it was a horror movie about bees. That it was just tearing you to save after. Your good movie but the point was it glanced at the script because the styles of it were Henry Fonda Jose for a living de Havilland Fred met Mary and it was Ortiz mess of Hollywood star as a neighbor Olivier I thought we must be good famous last words the famous last words and the 1st time I realized it was a big flop is we did a special same where they had to base in a hive up on the ceiling above us where we were talking and as we were talking we noticed little black dots on our shows it to 1st reviews are in even debased McCracken honest. I don't know beans do that I mean I guess of course today I think that I get a crap when you. You've worked with all of the greats and many of them have one thing in common which is that they like to do a Michael Caine impression Oh yeah everybody does my impression of me there's one clip of Rob Ryan and Steve Coogan in their film the trip and I wish we could play the entire thing but it goes on and on and on so we're just going to get a little taste of this. Stuff in the back but the case I did have a rather. Fast close by who talks very. Slow. This speaks like Ok speech to his nose about that he gets very very specific it's very not that when he gets laughed late and gets very loud indeed that's an odd way to pay respect as in when he when he did that when I was little I thought you had a cold. Because you miss home in less food. That meant you know Michael can you do a very good Michael Caine Why is that good. I mean I'm really good at it so I do it a lot so maybe 5 years or so yeah it is a funny way to pay respect but it is a form of respect Oh of course it is but it also isn't for sex session a way because the impersonate a knows everybody he knows who he's talking about. You're now 85 and still working when you think back to hunger of the insecurity of the class structure or the struggle of your early years what's it like to now realize that you can rest that you are secure that you have accomplished Well that's one of the greatest things in my life I thank God every day I am religious I don't practice my religion because what my father was a Catholic my mother was a Protestant I was educated by Jews and I'm married to a Muslims. But I believe in God look at Graziano an American boxer wrote an autobiography which I thought described me and said somebody out there likes me thought of nicking that title but they called me I couldn't. Well it's been a pleasure watching you on screen over all these years and a pleasure talking to you today thank you so much thank you sir it's been a pleasure talking to you Michael Caine's new book is called Blowing the bloody doors off and the other lessons in all.
