administration usual antagonists, like evil red state governors who remind her to do her job and visit the border. talk about political theater. playing games with people s lives, with their lives. i just think it is an absolute dereliction of duty. if you see a problem and if we agree that we need to address it, then if you re a leader, participate in a solution, right? when we first came in office, the first bill that we proposed was for a pathway for citizenship, was to fix a broken immigration system which was broken under the previous administration. kamala working overtime to spin her border security narrative. it is such a blatant lie, democrats are forced to call her out. kamala harris is absolutely wrong on that. it is not secure. we have a lot of work to do. i m not here to get in a fight or tow the democratic line, i m here to speak the truth, we do have more work to do. kamala s visit to late night wouldn t be complete without some kissing up to her boss.
get hurt. we begin tonight with a simple rule of legal professionals. in most cases whenever possible, keep your clients off tv and avoid letting them do interviews, which usually do more harm than good. unfortunately, donald trump s lawyers are needy, attention craving client could only hold out for so long, so last night on one of his favorite shows in an interview with his friend, sean hannity, he seemed to make a losing argument even worse. in his latest throw spaghetti at the wall defense or is it throw ketchup at the wall? trump made this outrageous claim about his magical powers to declassify documents. if you re the president of the united states, you can declassify just by saying it s declassified. even by thinking about it. because you re sending it to mar-a-lago or to wherever you re sending it. and it doesn t have to be a process. there can be a process, but there doesn t have to be. you re the president. you make that decision, so when you send it, it s decla
in ukraine, another new round of missile strikes as russian officials celebrate what they say is a new phase of the war, one that apparently focuses on killing civilians instead of soldiers. so what is this new phase? what does it mean for what s ahead? i ll ask barry mccaffrey in just a minute. and we have now learned that among the women accusing disgraced producer harvey weinstein at his trial in california is the governor s wife. we ll have the latest from the courtroom. but we start with the midterm races and growing alarm that decision makers may be letting winnable races slip away. that includes races in wisconsin, north carolina, pennsylvania, across the board, democratic candidates have spent way more on their own ads than the party ha has. while on the republican side, the bulk of the spending has come from the national party and outside groups. case in point, ohio, where jd vance has come up with just 10% of the cost of his ads compared to more than 80% for d

there is no one quite like republican candidate for governor of pennsylvania mr. doug mastriano. he insists the 2020 election was stolen from donald trump, which, of course, it was not. he supports a draconian ban on abortion. peddles vaccine disinformation. we could go on and on and on. but right now, the contest between mastriano and democratic candidate josh shapiro is being defined by hate and anti-semitism in its final days and weeks. new york times is out with a piece of reporting that says this, quote, mr. mastriano, who promotes christian power and disdains the separation of church and state, has repeatedly lashed mr. shapiro for attending and sending his children to what mastriano calls a privileged, exclusive, elite school, suggesting to one audience that it e vinced mr. shapiro s distan for people like us. it is a jewish day school where students are given both secular and religious instruction, but mastriano s language in portraying it as an elitist reserve seem
