Die roman. I m jessica dean in new york and we begin this hour with vice president kamala harris today agreeing to a second debate with former president donald trump right here on cnn on october 23. Of course, that s just days before the election. Harris now channeling, challenging her rival to another facetoface showdown. But it s trump up four, we re going to talk more about that in just a moment trump held a rally in the key battleground state of north carolina today as the republican candidate for governor in north carolina basis major scandal this week, a cnn investigation uncovered racist and deeply inflammatory comments made by mark robinson on a porn website years ago the trump campaign has yet to comment on this, despite some republicans in north carolina calling on robinson to drop out of the race, was just 45 days to go until election day cnn s steve contorno has more on how trump is handling this from the site of that rally in wilmington, north carolina donald trump arrived
Renewed this campaign contrast between prosecutor. This is a subplot that would be farfetched in most lyrical movies. One candidate, a law enforcement vet who locked up criminals. The other candidate, a convict in one state already, and also a defendant facing charges by the very doj that he would run if elected. Kamala harris invokes this on the campaign trail, and it was a theme at the dnc. I took on perpetrators of all kinds. So hear me when i say i know donald trump s type.

are no stranger to the disgraced, twice-impeached, four-times indicted ex president saying the quiet parts out loud. it is basically his calling card. often it meant speaking in code using dog whistles telling the proud boys for instance to stand back and stand by or saying there are good people on both sides after white supremacists marched through the sheets of charlottesville chanting, jews will not replace us. but now? now, donald trump has dispensed with the dog whistles. he is going for. . as a rule we don t air video of donald trump lightly on this show but we thought it was important that you hear this, that we all bear witness to what the ex-president and current leading republican candidate is saying here. we re like a rocket ship, who s like a rocket ship sent by kim jong-un, just like that. who is very nice, i will tell you. he is not so fond of this administration, but he s fond of me, and we had a very good relationship. vladimir putin of russia says that bi
good day. i m chris jansing live at msnbc head quarters in new york city. if you re watching this from an airplane gate, you already know the headline. more than 8500 flights delayed or cancelled after a key system went down. your flight was supposed to leave at 9:30 this morning? yeah. what time are you going to get to leave? 5:00 p.m. wow. so what are you going to do? just wait. how much more do passengers have to take before something is done to fix the airline system? plus house republicans are staing the first battles of what looks to be an all out political war over the next two years. votes on abortion rights, immigration and the irs are expect anded soon. is it just for show? and somehow the catastrophic situation in continueses to get even worse. relentless rainstorms have led to the deaths of 17 people. hundreds of homes have been damaged. some ripped right off their foundations. i ll speak live to the local sheriff about how they are coping, even
