Steve kings lastminute ad buy. Stop it. And why women are poised to make history. This is the most enthusiasm i have ever seen. With gloria stein am, robin morgan and jane fonda. You stay in the fight. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Just four days away from election day. Today brought into sharp relief the choice between the two Major Political coalitions in this country at this pivotal moment. On one side the first black president campaigning for the man seeking to be floridas first black governor, andrew gillum, and heading to georgia to campaign for stacey abrams, the first black woman governor in the nations history. The health care of millions of people are on the ballot. Making sure working families get a fair shake. Is on the ballot. But maybe most of all, the character of our country is on the ballot. And then theres President Trump whose Closing Argument is grounded in racism, fear and lies. A man who is repeatedly using flat out racist language according to both the public record, Television Cameras and his former righthand man michael cohen, cohen telling vanity fair today name one country run by a black person thats not a shit hole. He added name one city. He also said, according to cohen, black people are too stupid to vote for me. Its also true that nobody knows whats going to happen in an election. This year, with four days left, it is especially true. This is unprecedented voter enthusiasm. 29 million americans have already cast their votes. In 2014 there were only 21 million early votes cast total. In some states, including texas, the early vote is smashing records, 213,000 firsttime voters have already cast ballots and the 30 texas counties, more people voted early in 2018 than voted at all in 2014. The lines to vote have also been long in georgia where more than 800,000 people voted early, and theres a jurj in turnout among black and hispanic voters. The early vote has also been 56 women. Every pollster has to try to figure out what the electorate really could look like. The Cook Political Report lists house 29 races as toss ups, 28 in republicanheld districts, nine tossups in the senate. A shift of a couple Percentage Points could mean an enormous night for either party in either direction. Some republicans are working hard to suppress the vote. Eight states debuting new vote e id requirements this year, including north dakota where the law is forcing an estimated 5,000 native americans to get a new id card that lists street addresses, not the post office boxes many had been using for years in order to vote. In dodge city, Kansas County clerk debbie cox moved the citys only polling place from a Central Location in town, the civic center, to the expo center half a mile outside the city limits. The new location is not accessible via sidewalk, and theres no regular transportation there. When the aclu complained she forwarded the email with a comment lol. Despite that, cox doesnt have to open a new polling place. Brian kemp has embarked on what many see in the nation as one of the most aggressive efforts to suppress the vote. A judge today ordered him to lift barriers from more than 3,000 new u. S. Citizens, more than 50,000 voter registrations remain stalled. With me to offer his perspective, hes been all around the country to get out the vote, bernie sanders, independent of vermont. Senator, how are you feeling . Well, im feeling good by sunday night well have been to 13 states, held 35 rallies and meetings. There is a lot of enthusiasm out there, chris. How do you think about this election day and how do you think about what who needs to come out and how you what your best Case Scenario for what happens on tuesday . Im not much into speculation, well know the results soon enough. But what i would say, without being without overstating it, is i think this is the most important Midterm Election in the history of our country. What we are fighting for is not democrat versus republican. Youre fighting for the future of american democracy. Youre fighting against a president who has the base, the political process, is a pathological liar, who is trying to divide the American People up based on where we come from, the color of our skin, our sexual orientation, or religion. Unprecedented. And it is absolutely imperative that we have the largest voter turnout in a Midterm Election in american history. Four years ago, very low turnout, republicans won a sweeping victory. We need a massive turnout. Ill tell you, who must be coming out, young people and working people, people who cant make it on eight or nine bucks an hour, people who have no health care, people who are worried about the future of our planet if we dont combat Climate Change. Women who demand to control their own bodies rather than having the government do it for them. The Latino Community and the immigrant community who are being hit hard and lied about every single day. We need a massive uprising in this country of people coming out and voting, and ending this terrible oneparty rule which now exists in washington. Its been interesting to watch the way the democrats have run and weve been covering a whole bunch of races. It was summarized today as democrats refuse to take trumps home stretch bait. Whats striking is democrats have run as if theyre running essentially against paul ryan, theyve been running on basically were going to protect medicare and social security, were going to protect the Affordable Care act, which they tried are repeal, the tax cuts went to rich folks. They havent been focusing on what makes donald trump odious to so many voters. What do you think about that strategy . I think its not an either or. I think you cannot ignore the ugliness of what is taking place in the white house. And i think that there are a lot of conservative republicans who would disagree with somebody like me on every issue, who understand that it is hard to raise their kids in a nation when you have a president who lies all of the time and who is essentially a bully. So i think, you know, you cannot ignore who trump is and what he is doing. On the other hand, it certainly is not good enough just to run an antitrump campaign. We have got to be talking about health care for every man, woman and child. In my view, through a medicare for all system. Youve got to be talking about raising the minimum wage to a living wage, 15 an hour. Youve got to be talking about Climate Change and the transformation of our energy system. You have to be talking about the demand that the wealthy and large corporations, at a time when we have massive income and wealth inequality start paying their fair shares on taxes, its good policy and good politics. Youve been in politics for a long time. Youve won races, youve lost races, you know that politics bean bag as the saying goes, you get nasty down the stretch. Have you ever seen anything quite like what this president is doing in this moment. No, i have not, you have not, and nobody in this country has. You know, and it doesnt give me any pleasure, chris, to define him as a pathological liar. You know, i have conservative friends who are not liars. To talk about to talk about this president as somebody who is trying to divide our people up when you will remember, remember after 9 11 george bush very conservative president he went to a mosque to say this was not an attack by muslims, it was an attack by a handful of terrorists. Do you remember that . Yes. This guy is Something Different who will say anything, do anything in order to gain power. And while hes dividing us up, hes busy giving huge tax breaks to the rich and trying to throw millions of people off the Health Insurance that they have. So i think it is imperative that we rally the American People, not only against trump, but around a Progressive Agenda which demands the Government Works for all of us, not just wealthy campaign contributors. All right, senator bernie sanders, thanks for making a little time tonight. My pleasure. Joining me now, nbc news political analyst, charlie cook, editor and publisher of the legendary Cook Political Report. If there has been a late nudge toward democrats, that piece right there, what evidence do you see of that . Were talking to all kinds of pollsters, consultants on both sides and watching a lot of data. And what we saw was there was one reality last summer, then we saw the kavanaugh fight move things over towards republicans. And it looks like maybe after pittsburgh weve seen it come back, not prekavanaugh, but back towards that general direction. And as you said at the top of the show theres so many really close races out there that just a half a point, one point makes a big difference in a bunch of seats. Ive got to say, i have no idea whats going to happen tuesday night. No one else really does. And we are in pretty genuinely uncharted territory, who will be this electorate on tuesday night. Were looking at drk take the house for example, its going to be 20 and 50, between, democratic net gains. Its probably going to be between 30 and 40, you know 35. So it would get democrats a gavel. It gets them able to schedule a floor. But not you know, anything under 46 is not enough its not as many seats as republicans have today. And theyve had a hard time getting anything done. To push back on that, a polling error in the direction, and we saw polling errors correlated, that was the problem with the midwest in 2016, correlated among certain populations in certain areas, a systematic polling error three points in either direction, massively changes those outcomes. Right, but the polls that were so wrong were wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. National polls, youll look at the average, nine tenths off. That was like 2012, when they showed the obama romney race closer. Were in all these districts and one of the things thats also been true, true in 2006, true in 2010 particularly as this sense that things tend to break all in one way. Right, right, right. Youve got 30 tossup matches in the house, eight in the senate, four completely deadlocked. You tend to see on Election Night things moving one way, direction or the other. Right. But again, we were sort of led astray, a lot of public polls in state the campaign polling, the stuff that republican democrat pollsters are doing, its pretty sophisticated and its not what people are picking up on the internet. And its so you think they have, in those campaigns and in those contested races republican and democratic consultants are seeing numbers that are suggesting that this things moved back towards democrats. Right, right. Now, most campaigns have stopped polling. Right, at this point. Yeah, because at a certain point its curiosity. Its not actionable. But we were seeing some Movement Towards the end that made us suggest that things were getting back towards where they were prekavanaugh, at least in the house, not the senate. Yeah, sort of two different elections, obviously because the terrain theyre being run on. Is there like a bellwether house seat youre looking at, this will tell us a lot about how the night goes . Not any one. But look at a basket of some virginia, new jersey, pennsylvania races, and well i think well get a sense early in the evening, not just the general trajectory, are democrats likely to clear 23, or likely to come up short, if theyre going over 20, is it way up or not . Well get an idea early. And there are also plenty of you know, like five key statewide races early in the evening, the georgia and florida governors race, the ohio governors race, indiana, Joe Donnellys senate race, plenty of signs early in the evening to give us an idea of what direction the evening is going. These senate races, when you look at arizona, indiana, missouri, id probably throw montana in there too, and then outer range, sort of tennessee, youre looking at a bunch of senate races pretty close, within the margin of error. Right. In tennessee, i think the public polls, i mean, its close, and its moved since kavanaugh. Its moved over towards republicans some but i think the private polling is a lot closer than the five, six, seven multiple thats interesting. Another place where early voting has been very, very high in tennessee. Of course, we dont know who in the house, but very high in memphis, particularly. Absolutely. Charlie cook, thank you for being with us tonight. The president s toxic closing tactics backfiring, with some of the voters he needs to turn out on tuesday, thats next. Place, the xfinity xfi gateway. And its strengthened by xfi pods, which plug in to extend the wifi even farther, past anything that stands in its way. Well almost anything. Leave no room behind with xfi pods. Simple. Easy. Awesome. Click or visit a retail store today. This of it. Youre an enemy of our country, a dictator who we hate and whos against us and that dictator has his wife have a baby on american soil. Congratulations. Your son or daughter is now an american citizen. Does anybody think this makes sense . No, that makes no sense at all. What the hell are you talking about . That was last night in missouri, and that, well, can only be described as xenophobic idiocy, racist fear mongering before election day. President trump thinks this tactic will win voters. People in the room sure seem to like it. Growing evidence that other voters, and not just committed democrats are increasingly turned off by trumps rhetoric. New york times reported backlash coming from suburban republicans, especially women, who like the policies, but recoil on President Trumps language. Chris jansing spoke with the voters in orange county, california. You both have been registered republicans. Yes. Yes. Youre an independent now. E yes. Democrat. What made you flip . Trump. What specifically . Well, i was horrified by what hes like. And he doesnt seem to have respect for people. He seems to be very selfcentered. So that and the fact that republicans wouldnt stand up. That was my hope, i really thought republicans would stand up for themselves, and for our country. So i wouldnt have to worry about trump and that has proven not to be true. Here to discuss the backlash to trumps rhetoric, democratic strategist ayesha moody mills. Every house official will anonymously tell a reporter if were talking immigration, were winning, we like this, we love this, this is our closing message. There are costs to that message, it strikes me. Yeah, the thing were not well, the thing that we should be talking about, the fact that even though he thinks hes motivating his base, a small group of rabid racist people, hes also motivating the democrats. Hes motivating the independents who are not interested in this kind of hate mongering and these dog whistles and this racism. What i think is going to be the backlash and whats not going to pay off for them is the fact that donald trump is going to rile up a couple of people to come and vote for his candidates, but everyone else is coming out to vote against him, like we saw that lady say and that will play to the democrats favor. Yeah, i mean, i hope thats the case. Youre more worried about this. I think, look, i think there is without a doubt, trump is not just motivating people to vote. Hes motivating people to motivate other people to vote. Yes, right. Its really about the depth of allegiance. I im hardened by the fact that in that report the woman said i thought the republicans were going to act as some type of a bulwark against trump and they clearly have not, theyre clearly part and parcel of the same. So maybe i can understand that. But, you know, its not like we didnt know who donald trump was two years ago. Thats the thing. And that this stuff is particularly new thats right. And innovative from him. Maybe the idea that republicans you cant trust republicans because this is actually who they are, that may motivate some of those people in those suburbs. The bet he made in 2016, which bore out, the bet theyre making again is republicans are going to come home in the end. They may not like it, they may complain. But in the end theyre going to come home to the Republican Party and theyre going to come home to donald trump no matter how disgusting the rhetoric is. Thats the bet theyre making. Yeah, and now we have literally blood on their hands, right now we have Donald Trumps rhetoric and all the things that hes saying inciting violence among white supremacists, literally we have 11 jewish people who are dead right now because this guys inspired by the kind of person that donald trump is and the kind of people he associates himself with. I think that what voters are seeing, theyre saying we dont want to be associated with this kind of evil. Its political sport, yeah, the democrats and their health care or whatever. Now were actually talking about a leader whos inciting violence and people are dying as a consequence of it. Yeah, i mean, i hope thats the case, and i like to think it is the case, and theres also, you know, they may have been those republicans who came home, a lot of them came home for two reasons, the Supreme Court and tax cuts. Right. And they managed to get those two things. Well, they also came home the other thing is they came home because of Hillary Clinton and how they felt about the Hillary Clinton and the comey letter. Part of the thing that trump is trying to rerun the script from 2016, a forced choice between him and Hillary Clinton, this election is a thumbs up or thumbs down on him. Yeah. Heres the thing, if tax cuts were such a big deal, theyd be running on it. Barack obama said that earlier today. Theyd have campaign ads they have them. But its not a fundamental part of their core message. It has not been. The other thing thats backfiring is that it was all good and fine when it was just, oh, well, we dont want people coming over our borders. Youre talking about taking children from their parents, thats not sitting well with anybody. Were yanking ch
