new york attorney general is coming after the trump organization, for what? lying about the property values of their stuff. we have got our legal experts here to bring it all down. and the countdown to midterms is on, and less than 45 days, heading to the polls for what i think is a critical election. so we are going to check in on some critical races, the new nbc poll finds enthusiasm for upcoming midterms that an all-time high. plus, we are launching a new series today focused on the organizations known as the divine nine. their efforts to drive voters to the poll. we are taking the series off with the national president of this sorority, she is giving us a peek into what he asked he is up to. i am simone sanders, i am back, and i have something to say. donald trump, he had a bad week. he is facing new legal challenges. first, there are developments involving the mar-a-lago case. and those documents seized by the fbi. three appeals court judges for the 11th circ
it is incredible to follow such a groundbreaking leader. at our organization we are always thinking about how we engage voters to talk about the stakes of the election. i think we all know that black voters are the base of the democratic party. but often we take black voters for granted, we don t do a good enough job of talking about how we are going to address the issues that matter to voters. it s what we always hr candidates s go knock on doors, listen to what people are concerned about. and then, make sure that you are communicating in their language. in the natural language that voters speak in, that sort of not dc talking point, what are you going to do deliver to those voters? preach, jessica, no more the talking points. but let s look specifically at georgia as an example. i think the reality is that turnout for black voters has fluctuated. some people want to talk about the past 60 years, right? this is 60 years from 48% in 1996 to thousand and eight, 62%.
like you to focus on the waul and nothing else, this is about the shutdown. the clock is ticking. there isn t a deal if there isn t a deal by midnight, and let s face it, the chances are slim to none that the government won t be able to make their next payroll, and 800,000 federal workers will find themselves running out of money to pay their rent, to buy food, to do all the things that a lot of us take for granted. and despite what the president may think, they re not all a bunch of washington bureaucrats. outside the d.c. area, the states where workers were affected by the shutdown are most concentrated are alaska, montana, wyoming, new mexico, south dakota, west virginia and idaho, not d.c. insiders and bureaucrats. half of the affected workers do not have college degrees. tens of thousands are blue collar workers. nearly 111,000 make less than
outstanding the last 20 minutes of the film, but best picture? i will tell you the hollywood press loves ronny malec and they love a musical type of film. i guess i could see where they re coming from, although i don t know if this one will translate into the rest of the award zbleen that s what this group is for, to give us something to argue about at the start of the award season. that is true. i would love to see a star is born and black panther and some of these big move stlas herve seen actually be celebrated. good movies. something like that. but that s what the oscars are for. hopefully we ll have oscar nominations in two weeks. you re really sticking to your criterion. if you have to be best you have to meet that minimum bar of being good. i see. okay. it wasn t terribly political, in fact it seemed like andy sandberg and sandra oh really steered away from it. to make it about hollywood, not d.c. but christian balance didn t. here s that moment. he said i
$100,000 a pair, to sit at a roundtable and have a discussion with the president, $250,000. we have reached out to campaign and party and white house officials for more details about what s happening. we re not getting many answers. that s not unusual for high-ticket fundraisers at a private club. of course, mar-a-lago is that. either party, they tend to keep the high rollers behind closed doors and not open that to the media. had the president been there, we might have had a better chance of seeing him. he did request coverage. that was turned down. i can tell you from being in palm beach, they also released some of the traffic constraints for those who live or are visiting the area because the president did not show. traffic is flowing a little better. mar-a-lago is also often a target of those who want to protest. we saw some of that again today. although the president is not here, in some ways, his presence is felt, as those who supported him are celebrating one year here in florid
