Guess what they sell here. Anyway, whatever happens in this hour is supposed to say in this hour. Well see how they do. 19 days to go and were another crucial midterm battle ground. This state could be something of a canary in the cole mine. Democrats are betting big on turnout fueled by hispanic voters. If they dont show up in the elections across the country, including here in nevada, which is nearly 30 hispanic, it could be a big Election Night hangover for the democrats, which youd probably call hangover part two, after what happened in 2016. Boy, oh, boy, there is a lot of evidence that democrats are struggling to turn out his pan uk vo hispanic voters. And youre seeing a mini panic on the ground and signs they should be panicking in the polling data. In is all happening with a president that Many Democrats thought would drive record turnout from hispanics because of his immigration rhetoric and policy. Just today the president threatened to call in the military because of a, quote, assault on our country at the southern border, suggested he might shut off aid to southern american countries unless they stop a large flow of immigrants headed to the United States, which clincluded, he said, many criminals, and threatened to blow of his trade deal with mexico and canada over the issue. And yet latinos run toward the bottom of the pack when it comes to their interest in these Midterm Elections. Just 49 have told us they have a very high interest in this november election. Thats a number that is about the same as 2006, the last time democrats had a big midterm year when both the president and immigration issue were obviously very, very different. Democrats are trailing here in nevadas Crucial Senate contest maybe, very narrowly. Democrats will say its got to be even but well see. Folks, this is a state that Hillary Clinton won. That is a sign that democrats could be struggling to energize the hispanic voters right here in the silver state if for some reason jackie rosen cant win. If im in las vegas, you know one of my guest is going to be john ralston, editor of the nevada independent, and axios police call reporter alexei mccannon and Charlie Sykes, contributor at the Weekly Standard, elisa kumar. Let me start here in vegas. Maria, were going to put your organization on the spot here. John, let me start with you. Hispanic voters, ive been hearing it in phoenix, ive been hearing it here, you hear it in the beto orourke race in texas. There isnt the surge. Is it something were just not seeing in polling and its there or is this a real problem . I think sometimes in nevada as you know it doesnt show up in polling. Thats been a problem for pollsters. But in 2014, hispanic turnout dropped off the faith of the earth after the socalled reed machine. Reed got saved by the hispanic vote. He wasnt even supposed to win. The democrats are worried, chuck, that the polling you just showed, theyre worried. It was 10 or below in 2014. You just pointed out 30 of the population. If they dont get it up two or three points, thats a problem. Whats the number got to be, the percentage of the electorate when i get that exit poll back, the hispanic is what that will tell you the democrats win . I have to give you a hard and firm number . If its 15 , the democrats will do really, really well. 13 or 14 they might be okay, too. Once it starts getting towards 10, theyre in trouble. Teens are everything. If theyre in the teens, theyll probably do well. Alexei, nationally democrats i feel the reason theres been a lot of reporting about the hispanic issue is a lot of consultants are nervous about this and theyre trying to bring attention to the problem. President trumps rhetoric on immigrants is something a lot of democratic strategists had assumed would naturally fire up the Latino Community. As we all know and as candidates in campaigns should know better, theyre not a monolithic democratic or voting block. They care about many different issues other than immigration. A lot of them are prolife, which is something that goes against Traditional Democratic campaigns. They saw in 2014 midterms and 2016 that latino voters are not as enthusiastic as other Democratic Base voters and i think theyre sick of waiting until the last three weeks of the election for democrats to Pay Attention to them. I was with the democratic nominee in arizona, david garcia. Maria, im very curious what you think of his theory as to why theres a little bit of i dont know what you want to call it. Maybe its fatigue in the Latino Community. Take a listen to how he characterized the issue, maria. Latinos have been asked to play defense over and over and over again, including coming out and voting against trump. What we havent had in a long time is something to vote for. Negativity suppresses the vote. As you know, we had negativity today, maria, just in the president s twitter feed. Very tough. Chuck, lets be very, very frank and transparent. 60 of registered latinos had not received a phone call from a candidate in a Political Party as of sunday. Say in a number again, maria . 60 of registered latinos. How are you expecting for someone to come to you and basically vote for you if you havent even contacted them . Its the basics. When people start saying theres fatigue, theres not fatigue. 60 of latinos are under the age of 33, the media age of latino voter is 18 years old, chuck. What happens unfortunately in all politics is people decide theyre going to go ahead and call the High Frequency voter. Young, by default dont have a voting history. If you want to know how we change the politics, we have to reimagine who you are electoral is and hire consultants who understand what the community is. Because the community is so young, most people do not realize if you elect a member of congress, they can be that line of defense against the president. They believe the president is the almighty and they dont realize we have three branches of government that are literally of equal sorts. In the 2014 elections the reason the latino vote was so low, it was also at the point of the Obama Administration when it came to deportation. There was nothing to vote for at that time. And at the same time, it was the lowest across all americans in 70 years for that Midterm Election and it was also the very first time there was the Voting Rights act had been gutted by the supreme court. So all these factors. If someone wants to know how do you get a voter, its not hard. You have to talk to them, you have to invest in the infrastructure. The challenge within the community is the way people build that infrastructure is by working very closely with the unions. But the unions do not have a stronghold in texas, georgia, north carolina, arizona where the real growing population of the Latino Community is but also where the growing community of Young Professionals are. When you look at not just the latino vote but the young vote, sometimes interspersed together theyre mixed apart but its about investment and having those conversations. Voter latino surpassed our Voter Registration numbers on monday. So there is enthusiasm but you have to talk to them. Look, you are very passionate about this. Has the Democratic Party just dropped the ball . Thats what it sounds like youre saying. That this is a major fail. Its a major fail. In 2016, 50 of registered latinos had not been contacted, chuck. Health insurance pothats po. Exactly. Its not enough to say this other person is bad, you have to connect the dots. When pete wilson went after the Latino Community, there was a very clear message to the Latino Community, this is how you protect your family, you register to vote and become naturalized. That has not happened in this election nor in the 2016 cycle. Charlie, youre conservative, liberals and conservatives can decide what party theyre in. But the Republican Party under trump has made a decision to go ahead and trial to alienate h hispanics. Theres a longterm price here. What youre describing sounds like epic malpractice on the part of democrats. When pete wilson pushed through the referendum vote stripping undocumented aliens of government aid, that was seen as a huge win for the republicans, but it really ushered in oneparty rule in the state of california. So theres no question that theres the longterm price to be paid for it. But a couple of points have been made here. The hispanic vote is not, in fact, monolithic. There are other concerns. Theyre much more socially conservative than i think the Democratic Party is. But i also kind of wonder, look, the Trump Administration has really has targeted the Latino Community. This is the notsosecret sauce of trumpism to demonize immigrants, to talk about them as invaders, as rapists and gang members. I wonder whether or not there is a certain level of intimidation and fear here. Keep your head down at a very, very dangerous time because if the republicans do retain control of congress, its not going to be status quo. This will be a much trumpier congress, a much more aggressive federal government. So what youve seen so far would in fact i think be just simply a prelude to the immigration crackdown that would come with an emboldened donald trump and emboldened republican congress. John ralston, dean heller sort of epitomizes the change. I feel like two years ago he was talking about comprehensive Immigration Reform and talking about the dreamers. He doesnt talk about that now, does he . Dean heller has had just about every position you could imagine. Suddenly he was a sponsor of comprehensive Immigration Reform. He was almost a never trumper and now suddenly he loves trump more than anybody in the world and hes adopted trumps rhetoric on immigration to an extent. But they are doing outreach here, the heller campaign. Theyre on Spanish Language tv. Democrats do have one thing here, though, that doesnt exist in any of the other states, thats the culinary that was marias point. Theres no unions in texas and georgia the way there is here. The kuCulinary Union is the latino turnout machine. Theyve registered many of those members. If the Culinary Union does its job, then heller and the governors race have a lot to worry about. Thats the interesting this evening when you mention Spanish Language ads. Thats something i hear over and over again. That is not enough to marias point, too. Look at Stacey Abrams who made a concerted effort to push White Working Class voters to the wayside to focus on africanamerican voters who are not registered to vote and that really helped her in the primary. I cant think of a specific candidate, hispanic or otherwise who is doing a similar situation with latino voters. Stacey abrams is doing the same model shes doing in the Africanamerican Community in the Latino Community. She actually understands by focusing on these communities, bringing them together, thats whats going to help her go over the top. Its fascinating to watch. Shes done a stellar job. Brian sandoval as a latino, republican, hes been empathetic to dreamers on the immigration issue, but he tiptoes. Does he want to be the face of the movement in the Republican Party that pushes back . Hes never talked much about it, chuck, youre right. Its not something thats part of who he is. But he did just do a commercial, a very good commercial for dean heller, coming in late, embracing him, sending a message that this is a good guy just like me. Sandoval has great numbers among hispanics. He has great numbers across demographic groups here. Hes a unique political figure in nevada, but he has never wanted to be out front on those kinds of issues. You dont think hispanic republican. You dont see it first when you think of brian sandoval. Thats right. I dont think most people think of him in that way. They think of him as brian sandoval, a man for all demographics. How much will that help dean heller when hes on stage talking about the way he talks about immigration. Trump coming here, very quickly let me ask maria. Trump coming to nevada, how important is that to turnout for the democrats . I think its huge. If you follow where the president s going, its where he knows that its neck to neck and where he actually may have a problem. He knows hes Needs Congress to pass his business. If you follow his trajectory, thats where you know theres vast opportunity among the Democratic Party. The fact that hes going to texas, thats not small, thats huge. Theres no reason that cruz should be up only by 6 points. All right. John, alexei, charlie, maria, youre sticking around for the hour up ahead.

President trump acknowledged this afternoon what pretty much everyone else has already concluded, that it appears the missing Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi is dead. Reporter do you believe Jamal Khashoggi is dead . It certainly looks that way to me. Its very sad. It certainly looks that way. Were waiting for the results of about three different investigations, and we should be able to get to the bottom fairly soon. Reporter mr. President , what are you considering for possible consequences for saudi based on those . Well, it will have to be very severe. I mean, its bad, bad stuff but well see what happens. Thank you. The toughest comments yet from the president and it came after treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin announced hes pulling out of a highprofile Investment Summit in saudi arabia and off mike pompeo called for patience with the saudis. I told President Trump this morning that we ought to give them a few more days to complete that so that we, too, have a complete understanding of the facts surrounding that, at which point we can make decisions about how or if the United States should respond to the incident surrounding mr. Khashoggi. Nbc news chief correspondent Richard Engel is in istanbul all over this story. Let me just start here. What are the few days that the saudis need . Is this about getting a story straight . Are there facts we dont have . What facts are we going to trust from the saudis . Reporter well, there are so many moving parts to this story. As you saw President Trump saying he thinks khashoggis dead, the secretary of state saying we should give them more time, while the saudis are reportedly looking for some sort of scapegoat, someone to pin this on. There are a couple of names that have surfaced of people who the saudis would like to label as a rogue agent, someone who was acting beyond their authority and may instead of just going after critics and pressure them into being not quite as harsh as they have been against the Saudi Crown Prince to actually going out and killing them. So this is a very bizarre story on political levels because the Saudi Crown Prince has had this meteoric rise over the last year, and now his reputation maybe even his own political future are tainted and potentially at risk. So what could happen over the next few days . Seems like the saudis have to come up with a very plausible, very good excuse as to why according to turkish officials and others Jamal Khashoggi died in the consulate here in this country. If that excuse isnt bought, the crown princes rise could potentially come to a halt. Richard, are you surprised, youre somebody who lived in istanbul for some time, you have followed erdogans government from when it was this potenti
