JUDY WOODRUFF: Good evening.
I'm Judy Woodruff.
On the "NewsHour" tonight: Hate turns to horror.
John Yang reports from Pittsburgh, where 11 people were targeted and murdered at a synagogue.
And I am anchoring special coverage from Florida, a place sadly familiar with gun violence,
home to the suspected pipe bomber and a state still recovering from a devastating hurricane.
Plus: With just a week to go before the election, we hear how all this weighs on the minds of
voters and affects the issues that matter most.
AMNA NAWAZ: And I'm Amna Nawaz in Washington with the day's other headlines and more on
tonight's "PBS NewsHour."
(BREAK)
AMNA NAWAZ: The shock of Saturday's massacre at a Pittsburgh synagogue is still sinking
in tonight.
Earlier, the man accused of killing 11 people had his first court appearance, amid an outpouring
of grief and sympathy.
John Yang begins our coverage.
JOHN YANG: Today, the makeshift memorial outside the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh grew
larger.
Passersby placed flowers and paid their respects amid a still-heavy police presence.
Fund-raising for survivors and victims' families has brought in more than $600,000.
Saturday's massacre is believed to be the deadliest attack on Jews in American history;
46-year-old Robert Bowers is charged with killing 11 worshipers during Sabbath prayer
services.
Seated in a wheelchair, he made his first appearance in federal court in downtown Pittsburgh
today and was assigned a public defender.
He is being held without bail.
He faces 11 state counts of criminal homicide and a 29-count federal complaint, including
hate crimes, which could bring the death penalty.
In the wake of a week of threats and violence, some have pointed to President Trump's rhetoric,
which they say has invoked anti-Semitic themes and emboldened white nationalists.
Even as White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders condemned bigotry today:
SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS, White House Press Secretary: We all have a duty to confront
anti-Semitism in all its forms and everywhere and anywhere it appears.
JOHN YANG: The president blamed the media.
He said: "There is great anger in our country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent,
reporting of the news.
The fake news media, the true enemy of the people, must stop the open and obvious hostility
and report the news accurately and fairly."
Tomorrow, the president and the first lady are to visit Pittsburgh as funerals for the
victims are to begin.
Among the dead, 97-year-old Rose Malinger, who had survived the Holocaust, brothers Cecil
and David Rosenthal, both in their 50s, both with developmental disabilities, and father
and grandfather Melvin Wax, who was 88.
This morning, authorities took the accused shooter from Allegheny General Hospital, where
he was treated for gunshot wounds.
Hospital president Jeffrey Cohen lives across the street from the Tree of Life Synagogue,
where he is a member, was married and his children bar and bat mitzvahed.
JEFFREY COHEN, President, Allegheny General Hospital: And as I went outside, there was
a police officer walking down the street, and he was yelling at people to get in their
houses, there was an active shooter at Tree of Life.
I'm going, this is odd.
And as I stood there watching, I saw the first wave of police come in, and they were huddled
behind a brick pillar.
And I'm going, this is across from my house.
This is surreal.
JOHN YANG: He quickly learned the shooter was being taken to his hospital.
JEFFREY COHEN: I talked to one of the nurses that took care of him.
And the nurse's father is a rabbi.
He came in because he was called in.
And he rolled up his sleeves and he took care of him like anybody else that comes here.
And we have a really simple mission here, certainly as long as I have been here.
We're here to take care of sick people.
JOHN YANG: Yesterday, Cohen felt the need to meet the man who had brought violence to
his doorstep.
JEFFREY COHEN: And he asked me who I was.
I said: "I'm Dr. Cohen.
I'm the president of the hospital."
And once again, that yin-yang of the universe, here's the guy that's getting off an ambulance
and saying all Jews have to die, and his emergency room physician, his nurse, president of the
hospital are all Jews.
How's that for irony?
JOHN YANG: The bullets struck at the heart of the close-knit community in Pittsburgh's
Squirrel Hill neighborhood.
RABBI JAMES GIBSON, Temple Sinai: It's like tearing cloth so that the threads no longer
join one to the other.
JOHN YANG: James Gibson is senior rabbi at Temple Sinai, just blocks from Tree of Life.
RABBI JAMES GIBSON: We are deeply embedded in each other's lives.
JOHN YANG: Although more diverse today, Squirrel Hill still has the feel of the Jewish enclave
it has been for more than a century.
It's a place where synagogues are familiar landmarks, the grocery store posts the beginning
of the weekly Sabbath, and they tell time in Hebrew.
Cindy Skrzycki, a Polish Catholic, has lived here 18 years.
She and her husband, David Shribman, the executive editor of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, raised
two daughters here.
One is a year away from ordination as a rabbi.
CINDY SKRZYCKI, Pittsburgh: It would have been very hard for Natalie (ph) and my older
daughter to escape, because their friends -- a lot of their friends were Jewish.
We lived in Washington a long time.
And I don't think we, outside of one or two people, really knew very many Jewish people.
You become marinated here pretty fast.
JOHN YANG: As authorities search for why this attack took place this particular weekend
at this particular place, Dr. Cohen sees symptoms in the coarsening of public discourse.
JEFFREY COHEN: We need to take control of the debate and the civility of the discourse,
where it's OK to disagree with people, but you don't have to take it to the point where
you shut the other guy up.
We have to listen more.
JOHN YANG: Since, Saturday there have been memorials here and around the world.
Sunday evening, the monthly rehearsal of the Pittsburgh Cello Studio Ensemble became an
impromptu commemoration.
Leaders Nicole Myers and Simon Cummings played the melody "Kol Nidre," which traditionally
begins services on Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement.
NICOLE MYERS, Pittsburgh Cello Studio Ensemble: It's just so soulful and beautiful.
And we debated whether or not we should have a rehearsal tonight, the day after these events.
And we thought we didn't want to stop making music.
We wanted to play for them to show them that we were going to persevere.
JOHN YANG: For Cummings, born and raised in the area, it had a special meaning: Among
the dead was Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz, his doctor since childhood.
SIMON CUMMINGS, Pittsburgh Cello Studio Ensemble: Just trying to meditate and think about his
life and the other 10 lives, and I feel like music is a big part of our lives and it helps
us recover and heal.
JOHN YANG: Feelings that so many in this community are in search of tonight.
What happened here has deeply affected people throughout not just this neighborhood, but
across Pittsburgh.
So many people we talked to this weekend say they don't know yet what recovery is going
to look like, but they promise they will bounce back -- Amna.
AMNA NAWAZ: Incredible resolve in that community there, John.
But tell me about the victims of this attack.
When do we expect funerals to begin for them?
JOHN YANG: Amna, the funerals are going to start tomorrow.
Jewish law generally forbids autopsies and generally encourages burial as quickly as
possible, usually within about 24 hours.
But authorities went to the families and asked for permission to perform autopsies, presumably
to help in the prosecution.
And all the families agreed.
AMNA NAWAZ: You mentioned the prosecution there, John.
What else do we know, if anything, about the shooter?
JOHN YANG: Not much.
He is a guy who apparently didn't leave much of a footprint.
Reporters have been talking to neighbors.
They described him as isolated, socially awkward.
They say he lived alone, told some of them he was a truck driver.
What footprints he did leave appear to be these virulent anti-Semitic comments, most
of them left on a Web site called Gab.
Gab is a site that critics say is the haven, the last refuge for extremist who've been
kicked off other social media platforms, like Twitter and Facebook, for violating their
norms.
Gab has released a statement condemning the attack, saying they're working with law enforcement
authorities investigating this.
They also say: "We have been smeared by the mainstream media for defending free expression
and individual liberty for all people."
AMNA NAWAZ: John Yang there for us at the site of the horrific synagogue shooting in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Thank you, John.
In the day's other news: Federal prosecutors asked a judge to deny bail for the man who
allegedly sent package bombs to top Democrats and critics of President Trump.
Cesar Sayoc appeared in federal court in Miami.
And another package addressed to CNN showed up in Atlanta.
The FBI said it was -- quote -- "similar in appearance" to the others.
The Pentagon announced today it is sending 5,200 active-duty troops to the Mexican border
this week.
That comes as some 4,000 Central American migrants are pushing northward through Mexico,
a movement that President Trump called an invasion today.
The head of the U.S. Northern Command said the soldiers will back up Customs and Border
agents.
GEN.
TERRENCE O'SHAUGHNESSY, NORAD Commander: We know border security is national security.
And the U.S. military will advance CBP's capability to harden the border.
The Department of Defense is already and will continue to provide support to CBP to secure
the border.
AMNA NAWAZ: Federal police in Mexico today blocked a new group of several hundred migrants
trying to enter the country from Guatemala.
In Indonesia, an airliner crashed into the Java Sea, off Jakarta, today, killing all
189 people on board.
The Lion Air Boeing 737 plane went down 13 minutes after taking off from Jakarta on a
domestic flight.
Rescue workers pulled human remains and wreckage from the water through the evening.
Indonesia's president, Joko Widodo, asked grieving families to be patient.
JOKO WIDODO, Indonesian President (through translator): I feel deep anxiety for all the
families of the victims, but we hope that the families of the victims will be calm while
they wait for the search-and-rescue teams, who are working hard at the scene.
We are making the best efforts to find the victims.
AMNA NAWAZ: Indonesian airlines were banned from flying to Europe and the U.S. for years
because of their poor safety record.
The U.S. lifted its ban in 2016, and the European Union ban ended this past June.
The U.S. Navy says it will continue patrolling the disputed South China Sea, despite a near-collision
with a Chinese warship.
Last month, a Chinese destroyer came within 45 yards of the U.S. Navy destroyer Decatur
near Gaven Reef, forcing it to veer off.
The U.S. doesn't recognize China's claims in the area.
The chief of naval operations said today that freedom of navigation operations will go on.
The people of Brazil began coming to grips today with a stunning political shift.
Far-right politician Jair Bolsonaro won Sunday's presidential runoff in Latin America's largest
nation.
Foreign affairs correspondent Nick Schifrin has our report.
NICK SCHIFRIN: Jair Bolsonaro's supporters celebrated into the wee hours, hailing what
they called a fresh start and the end of a ruling party they label a failure.
GABRIELA FERREIRA, Brazil (through translator): They are big liars and criminals hiding behind
their rehearsed speeches.
Bolsonaro is much more original, says things that many people don't want to hear, but I
believe that he is honest and that he wants improvements for the country.
NICK SCHIFRIN: Sixty-year-old Bolsonaro is a longtime lawmaker, former army captain,
and proud populist who reflects widespread anger.
Brazil is in its worst ever recession.
Former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is in prison, his successor was impeached,
and the current president's accused of corruption.
And violence has increased so much, the military secures Rio's massive slums.
Voters blamed the government.
RENATO, Brazil (through translator): Corruption, robbery, politics in the trash, that's why
I want change.
I prefer to risk something new.
NICK SCHIFRIN: What they're risking is a candidate critics call an extremist.
In 2014, he argued with a lawmaker, and after pushing her, yelled, "I wouldn't rape you
because you are not worthy of it."
In a 2011 interview with "Playboy," he said he would -- quote -- rather his son "die in
a car accident, than be gay."
And 10 days ago, when calling into a rally, Bolsonaro promised the rule of law would be
become rule by law unleashed on his political opponents.
JAIR BOLSONARO, Brazil President-Elect (through translator): These red outcasts will be banished
from our homeland.
It will be a cleansing never seen in Brazilian history.
You will see proud armed forces, a civilian and a military police with legal backing to
enforce the law against them.
PAULO SOTERO, Wilson Center: The rhetoric that served him well to win the presidency
will not serve him to govern.
NICK SCHIFRIN: Paulo Sotero directs the Wilson Center's Brazil Institute.
He says Bolsonaro is part of a populist wave that includes President Trump, and that he
will have to rein in the rhetoric.
PAULO SOTERO: He will, I think, very rapidly realize that he will have to negotiate certain
things, to tone down some of the rhetoric.
NICK SCHIFRIN: Last night, Bolsonaro did just that and read from a script.
JAIR BOLSONARO (through translator): I will be an advocate for defending the constitution,
of democracy, of freedom.
NICK SCHIFRIN: But a candidate who mimicked guns with his fingers, and whose supporters
showed up in military fatigues or with dolls of politicians wearing prison uniforms has
a base with high expectations.
And it remains a question whether a man who campaigned in vicious poetry can govern in
reasonable prose.
For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm Nick Schifrin.
AMNA NAWAZ: Meanwhile, in Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced she will step down
as leader of her conservative party.
She also confirmed she will not run again when her fourth term as chancellor expires
in 2021.
Her statement in Berlin came after the ruling coalition suffered new losses in a key state
election on Sunday.
ANGELA MERKEL, German Chancellor (through translator): With this decision, I am trying
to make a contribution which enables the German government to finally concentrate its efforts
on good governance, something people demand, and rightly so.
This step is also based on the clear intention of the German government to evaluate its work.
AMNA NAWAZ: Merkel has been chancellor since 2005, but she's faced heavy criticism for
admitting large numbers of asylum seekers in 2015.
That decision helped fuel the rise of a far-right party.
Back in this country, former President Jimmy Carter appealed to Georgia's Republican candidate
for governor to step down from his post as secretary of state.
Brian Kemp oversees state elections in that role, and he's facing allegations of voter
suppression.
In a letter to Kemp, Mr. Carter said stepping aside would foster voter confidence.
On Wall Street, stocks started with a rally, then swooned amid talk of new tariffs on China.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 245 points to close below 24443.
It had been down more than 560 points earlier.
The Nasdaq fell 117 points and the S&P 500 slipped 17.
And it's time for another party in Boston, after the Red Sox won the World Series last
night for the fourth time in 15 years.
Boston beat the Dodgers in Los Angeles 5-1 to take the series in five games.
The city will honor the winners with a parade on Wednesday.
We turn now to our special "NewsHour" coverage from Florida, and to Judy Woodruff.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Thanks, Amna.
The state of Florida is proving yet again to be a battleground in this year's midterm
elections.
From a contentious race for governor, to a neck-and-neck Senate contest, key races up
and down the ballot could decide control of Congress and be an indicator for political
contests to come.
We begin our special coverage with a look at some of those important campaigns.
REP.
RON DESANTIS (R-FL), Gubernatorial Candidate: Higher taxes for you and more benefits for
him.
I don't think so.
ANDREW GILLUM (D), Florida Gubernatorial Candidate: We can do good by rowing together, you all.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The Florida governor's race pits a self-styled conservative warrior against
a progressive.
Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum is vying to be the state's first Democratic governor since
1992, and its first ever black chief executive.
He is also a fierce critic of President Trump.
DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: He's going to your next governor, Ron DeSantis.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
JUDY WOODRUFF: By contrast, former Republican Congressman Ron DeSantis has fully embraced
the president...
REP.
RON DESANTIS: Make America great again.
JUDY WOODRUFF: ... who won Florida by a razor-thin margin in 2016.
REP.
RON DESANTIS: I appreciate your support Mr. President, but I appreciate more the leadership
you are showing for our great country.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The contest has been rife with allegations of racism.
Just after winning the Republican nomination, DeSantis said this about Gillum:
REP.
RON DESANTIS: The last thing we need to do is monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist
agenda.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Racist robo-calls also targeted Gillum.
DeSantis denounced the calls.
But when I caught up with Gillum at a weekend rally at a Tampa community center, he said
DeSantis had stoked racial tensions.
ANDREW GILLUM: I think certainly he used racial stereotypes in his campaigning all to make
me look out of touch, so different than everybody else.
I think he sorely underestimates the voters by going so hard after superficial differences,
when what voters want to hear about is what we're going to do.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Meanwhile, Gillum is facing a corruption probe into unreported gifts from
lobbyists, including a trip to Costa Rica and tickets to the Broadway show "Hamilton."
ANDREW GILLUM: I don't take free trips from anybody.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Gillum has denied the charges, but subpoenaed text messages suggest he knowingly
accepted the show tickets from an FBI agent posing as a real estate developer.
DeSantis calls it another example of local corruption.
REP.
RON DESANTIS: Andrew is the one who lied to the people of Florida on Sunday night about
accepting a gift from an undercover FBI agent.
He's the one who lied.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
JUDY WOODRUFF: The governorship is up for grabs because Republican incumbent Rick Scott
is term-limited.
He is moving on to challenge three-term Democratic U.S. Senator Bill Nelson for his seat.
GOV.
RICK SCOTT (R), Florida: He has been there when his party controlled both parties in
the White House, and they did nothing.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The two have sparred on immigration, gun violence especially after the Parkland
Florida school shooting, and health care.
Polls indicate a majority of Floridians favor Medicaid expansion, and that they're more
likely to vote for a candidate who will maintain the Affordable Care Act's protections for
people with preexisting conditions.
SEN.
BILL NELSON (D), Florida: Florida has more on the ACA than anybody else, almost two million
people that now have health care that never had health care before.
And for the seven years of the law, my opponent has wanted to kill it, to repeal it.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Nelson has blasted Scott for opposing Medicaid expansion and Obamacare.
The state is also suing to overturn federal protections for those with preexisting conditions.
Scott says he didn't have anything to do with the suit.
GOV.
RICK SCOTT: I support forcing insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions.
JUDY WOODRUFF: In a new ad, he said he now favors coverage of preexisting conditions.
And DeSantis has recently pledged to do the same.
The Florida ballot also features close races in at least five congressional districts held
by Republicans and for the Republican-controlled state Senate.
Also driving voters to the polls, a state constitutional amendment to restore voting
rights to 1.5 million former felons.
I sat down this weekend with five voters in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area.
And a note to viewers: We met before the magnitude of the terrible shootings in Pittsburgh was
clear.
We gathered at a popular meeting place called the Oxford Exchange.
The voters ranged in age from 27 to 75.
Jake Hoffman is a Republican who owns a digital media company.
Trevor Mallory is a Democrat who works investing in affordable housing.
Sandy Rief is a registered Republican, but has been voting Democratic lately.
He's a tax attorney.
Liz Gutierrez is a Democrat who runs a nonprofit.
And Cherie Denham is a Republican who's employed by a law firm.
CHERIE DENHAM, Florida: This election cycle is just as important or more important than
2016.
You know, someone is calling this Trump's reelection.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Trevor, what about you?
How important do you think it is?
TREVOR MALLORY, Florida: It's like Cherie touched on.
This is being called the Trump reelection.
And for those really don't want to hear that, now is the time to get up and make a difference.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Let's talk about what is on your mind.
What is it that is driving your vote this time?
CHERIE DENHAM: There are a lot of issues.
There are a lot of things at stake.
We have two taxes on our ballot in Hillsborough County.
If those pass, we will be the highest-taxed county in Florida, and so that's very important
to me.
With the unfortunate event in Parkland, the Second Amendment has become a huge issue here
in Florida.
And I don't believe that we need more gun control rights.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Why not?
CHERIE DENHAM: We need to help people who have mental health issues.
That is the area that really needs to be addressed.
It's not gun control.
We need to re-shift the focus to helping people that need help.
JUDY WOODRUFF: What is it that is driving you to make sure to vote that makes you believe
these elections matter?
LIZ GUTIERREZ, Florida: So, for me, I'm one of those silly people that believe in peace
and justice for all, not just for some.
While it is important to keep our taxes, for example, in check, it is also very important
to invest in the society and in our community.
So if we don't educate our young children, if we don't create the best schools that we
can, if folks don't have economic opportunity, then we're all in trouble.
JUDY WOODRUFF: What about you, Trevor?
What matters to you?
TREVOR MALLORY: Number one is education.
In Pinellas County, we're at a rate of where the percentage is overwhelming on how many
of our students can't read.
And that needs to be changed.
And I think it has to do with not the quality of teachers, but just the pay of the teachers.
And, number two are the gun laws.
We just have to change them.
And I really commend those young kids at Stoneman Douglas, where they actually stepped up after
the incident that happened there.
And I believe they really are a key part of the excitement about this midterm election.
And number three is the restoration, the restoring of rights.
I just think people need to get more educated on who's allowed to get their rights back,
number one, and how long should it take, and who shouldn't get their rights.
JUDY WOODRUFF: For a felon.
TREVOR MALLORY: For felons.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Jake, what about you?
What's driving you, especially in the Senate and the governor's races?
JAKE HOFFMAN, Florida: There really is a lot.
So, for me, personally, when I see something about the environment on there, I'm excited
about candidates that are going to talk about that.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Sandy, what about you?
You take an interest in politics.
What matters most to you?
SANDY RIEF, Florida: Right now, health care does.
I'm on Medicare.
And, you know, we don't have a good health care system in this country.
Obamacare was excellent, and it's been beaten down.
Other issues that I think are important, the environment, sea level rise, climate change.
That's important.
People have got to realize that if we don't do something like that, you know, the state
of Florida will be underwater.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Liz, let me back to you.
What are you thinking right now, when you think about the governor's race between Congressman
DeSantis and the mayor of Tallahassee, Andrew Gillum?
LIZ GUTIERREZ: The term, the word that comes to me is fear.
It's really a hostile environment, where folks even -- regular people don't feel comfortable
talking to each other because they're afraid of the differences in opinion might lead to
something else.
CHERIE DENHAM: I kind of agree with what she said.
People are afraid of one or the other.
They are afraid -- everybody's afraid of losing their rights, whether it's rights for guns
or their right to like a safe community.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Trevor, how do you see the governor's race right now?
TREVOR MALLORY: Well, I have to say, during the primaries, I did support Mayor Andrew
Gillum, and I have been actually still working to help support him.
But once he won the nomination and then DeSantis came out with his comment about monkeying
it up, I just think that line didn't have to be crossed, when you're talking about racism.
It was racially pushed, but it just didn't need to happen.
JAKE HOFFMAN: You know, to the monkeying around comment, I -- personally, when I heard that,
I didn't take that as a racial issue.
There are a lot of other things that I hear that I can say, wow, that was meant -- that's
egregious, that is something that I think is racially charged.
We just had robo-calls that were put out around the state that made local and state news.
And they're clearly very racist.
If you go and listen to them or read the transcripts, then that's something that you can see is
racially charged.
But you can't pull racism from one comment like that.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Trevor, is it possible that there's been an overreaction from the people
supporting Andrew Gillum?
TREVOR MALLORY: I don't I think there's an overreaction.
I just think we took it, we commented on it, and we dealt with it, and now we're moving
on.
It actually ignited us in the African-American community, because I want to touch on what
you said.
You said you don't think it's a racist comment, but, at the same time, the robo-call was in
effect to monkeying it up, because there was monkeys in the background.
And if you're going to deem that racial, then I think that comment or slip of the tongue,
however you want to label it, that also has to be deemed as a racial comment.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Let me come to you, Sandy, on some of this.
Governor's race, what do you see unfolding here?
SANDY RIEF: It's the entire political spectrum.
Everybody's telling lies.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Everybody?
Both political parties?
SANDY RIEF: Everybody is telling lies.
It starts at the top, with the president of the United States, and it goes all the way
down.
Every one of the commercials that you see is a lie, because they're trying to make their
opponent look bad.
We're not talking about the issues, the things that are important to the citizens of Florida
and the citizens of our country.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The governor's race, Gillum, who are you for and why?
LIZ GUTIERREZ: Of course I have to support Andrew Gillum.
I am not the problem in our society.
As a Latina woman, I am part of the -- I am a part of the solution.
I'm a contributor.
I'm a taxpayer.
I'm a voter.
I have everything to give.
And if we don't have a society that values my contributions as equal as it values that
of anyone else, what kind of society do we have?
JUDY WOODRUFF: Cherie, what about you?
Governor's race, Gillum, DeSantis?
CHERIE DENHAM: I am a Christian, a conservative and a Republican.
So I vote my values.
My number one value is pro-life, so I vote from a pro-life viewpoint always.
And so, obviously, I'm going to go for DeSantis.
I also voted for President Trump.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Jake, as involved with the Young Republicans, you are supporting Republicans.
Why Ron DeSantis in this governor's race?
JAKE HOFFMAN: Because the alternative is very scary to me as far as an economic climate
goes.
Higher taxes all around is something that worries me.
It really does worry me.
JUDY WOODRUFF: I want to turn to President Trump.
How much does he -- what he says, what he's done, how much is that a factor in your -- the
people you plan to vote for?
TREVOR MALLORY: What we're seeing and what we're hearing from him is just not the typical
role model I would want for my kids to look at.
So, when he comes down to support these candidates and have these rallies, it just stays negative.
JAKE HOFFMAN: DeSantis was asked about whether or not Trump is a role model.
The answer is no.
Right?
That's not something that we should hesitate to say.
Again, as a Republican, I take a lot of flak for certain things that I say, whether it
comes from a moderate, reasonable position.
But it's easy to see that the things that he says that are not OK.
They're -- it is OK to say that.
And we can do that at the same time as agreeing with some of the policies that he has.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Do you think he's an asset for Republicans this year?
JAKE HOFFMAN: For -- yes.
Yes, absolutely.
He is going to do a great job at helping turn out the vote for Republicans, yes.
CHERIE DENHAM: I believe he is a force for positive.
I don't think we needed just a nice, normal politician.
I think our country was in such a state that we needed a wrecking ball to go into Washington
and wreck it.
JUDY WOODRUFF: How much does it -- how much do you feel the country is divided right now?
What do you think about that, Jake?
And does it matter?
JAKE HOFFMAN: Yes, absolutely.
The country is definitely divided.
You see that at rallies.
You see that at protests and counterprotests.
We have got parties that are sitting on very far sides of the political spectrum.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, the president is blaming a lot of this, Cherie, on the news media,
saying that the news media is contributing to the division.
How do you see that?
CHERIE DENHAM: There's a lot of things that we agree on.
I think we just have different roads and different avenues to get to these solutions.
And I think the -- I agree that the media does -- it kind of leans toward more liberal.
They have a very loud voice.
You know, a lot of my friends get put in Facebook jail or shadow-banned on Twitter because they
tweet out a lot of conservative things, and this is something that's really happening.
So -- but honestly, at our core, I think we are more united than we are divided.
SANDY RIEF: I think we are very divided, and the president is trying to keep us further
apart.
You know, he refuses to take a position on -- he hasn't commented negatively and said
what happened with the bombs that have been sent out.
You know, he's not condemned that, like he should have.
His ambivalence towards Saudi Arabia with Khashoggi, that was something that should
have been condemned right out.
Those are the types of things.
And he goes to the rallies, and none of that is what's designed to bring us together.
You know, you can document lie after lie after lie that he tells when he's out there speaking.
JUDY WOODRUFF: As your candidate, your man goes to Washington, what would you like to
see him give a little on in order to reach some sort of resolution?
LIZ GUTIERREZ: So, I'm going to go in the opposite direction and say to you that the
thing that I have been disappointed about is I think that, as Democrats, we haven't
been as strong.
I think Republicans have been very clear about their messaging.
I don't know that we, as Democrats, have that clear a sense of what the values are.
And we have very strong values that I think are beneficial to everyone, but I don't know
that we speak of them very clearly in a way that everyone understands.
JAKE HOFFMAN: As far as Republicans go, again, I think we -- we're going to need to pivot
more on the environment, because that is something that used to be a bipartisan issue, and education.
So, we used to be able to agree that, let's make -- if you walk outside, let's be able
to take our kid to school and let's be able to breathe the air and go to the beach.
You know, we just don't need to fight on some of these things.
JUDY WOODRUFF: If that's what Republicans have to do, Democrats have their work cut
out for them, too.
Among other things, they are going to need a big turnout from two groups of voters here
in Florida who are increasingly important, Puerto Ricans and young people.
Yamiche Alcindor has been in South Florida taking a look at those key voting groups and
how the results might sway this election.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Turnout, turnout, turnout, that's the name of the game in Florida.
Up and down the state, candidates and canvassers are working to get out the vote.
That's because, in the last two governor's and presidential races, the winners in this
state have been determined by razor-thin margins.
And, as a result, Democrats are trying to turn out two important groups that they hope
will make the difference.
FERNAND AMANDI, Democratic Pollster: Florida is the classic referendum lynchpin state in
the country.
It's almost perfectly divided in terms of its registration between Republicans, Democrats
and independents,, which, in Florida, is a growing segment of the electorate.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Fernand Amandi is a Democratic pollster based in Miami.
FERNAND AMANDI: It's all about the base here.
So, the base matters.
And turnout is what drives the base, so if the base is not turning out, someone is going
to lose.
And that's why, in Florida, it's paramount.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: One key group, Puerto Rican voters, especially those newly arrived since
Hurricane Maria hit the island last September.
Frederick Velez is an organizer with Alianza.
The group has spent months sending out mailers and registering people to vote.
Now it's focused on making sure people show up.
FREDERICK VELEZ, Alianza for Progress: We have had over 26,000 conversations with people
who are either Puerto Rican or who are Latino.
And those conversations are based on and focused on why it's important to vote.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Forty-year-old Ivette Alsina understands the value of voting.
In June, the mother of three moved from Puerto Rico to this neighborhood outside Kissimmee
with her sons and grandson.
IVETTE ALSINA, Florida: I left my family, my house, my friends, my culture.
Everything stay there.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: And like many Puerto Ricans, she was very disappointed by the Trump administration's
response to Hurricane Maria last September.
IVETTE ALSINA: There wasn't a lot of help for us.
There are still people suffering over there.
There's people over there, the house that they don't have a roof.
And FEMA, they went there, but they didn't help a lot.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: The government of Puerto Rico says, as a result of the storm, nearly
3,000 people died.
President Trump has rejected that number.
He claims Democrats inflated the death toll.
Alsina was especially offended by this video of President Trump throwing paper towels to
hurricane survivors.
It was on her mind when she voted early last week for Democrats.
She hopes they will serve as a check on the president.
IVETTE ALSINA: That's why, yesterday, I went to vote, because I want my dignity and respect
back.
We don't need paper towels.
We need food.
We need help to build our houses again.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: No one really knows how many Puerto Ricans have moved to Florida since
Hurricane Maria.
Estimates range from a high of 300,000 down to 50,000, but pollster Fernand Amandi says
even tens of thousands could still prove pivotal.
FERNAND AMANDI: Twenty-five thousand votes could very well decide who wins Florida.
So it could very well be that these Puerto Rican voters, if 15,000 or 20,000 of them
enter the electorate and uniformly go from one side to the other, could be determinative.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Young people are another group to watch.
They typically don't vote in high numbers, especially during midterm elections.
This year, though, organizers are working hard to change that.
On Saturday, volunteers with NextGen canvassed in North Miami Beach.
The Democratic political action group is funded by billionaire hedge fund investor Tom Steyer.
It's been registering young people to vote across Florida, including at high schools
and colleges, in the wake of the school shooting in Parkland.
Meanwhile, at a get-out-the-vote event in Liberty City, Miami, young people gathered
to talk politics over food, football and music.
It was sponsored by Dream Defenders, a group started in 2012 after the killing of Trayvon
Martin.
Rodnika Cockroft, an organizer, said 2016 was a wakeup call for many.
RODNIKA COCKROFT, Dream Defenders: Our generation is starting to step into their power, because
we realize that those 70-, 75-year-old people who've been in power for 30 years are fixated
in the mentality that they have already, and it doesn't align with ours.
When they're gone, we're going to be stuck with the issues that they left us with.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Dream Defenders ran shuttles to the polls nearby.
Early voting began last week.
Along the way, organizers tried to explain Florida's 12 amendments on the ballot this
year.
MARCUS HORTON, Florida: I think the potential for young people to make a difference in the
midterm election is definitely there.
At the same time, I think that the Democratic candidates need to give young people something
to vote for.
Sometimes, people are receptive to what we have to say.
Sometimes, they're not.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Marcus Horton is a 28-year-old Navy vet who just graduated from Florida International
University.
Horton doesn't identify as a Republican or a Democrat, but often votes with Democrats.
He's supporting Democrat Andrew Gillum for governor.
The most important issues to him?
Restoring voting rights for felons, health insurance, which he doesn't have, and the
impact of student loans.
MARCUS HORTON: That means that when we graduate from college, we can't start businesses.
We have too much debt.
It means that we can't buy homes, and so we're kind of finding ourselves in this position
where we're limited in the choices that we can make.
That could be a very powerful platform position.
There's enough young people now to -- more young people than older people.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Still, Horton isn't sure that young people will make the difference
this year.
MARCUS HORTON: I do see a lot more people who are politically engaged and they seem
to care about this, but at the same time, you know you can walk somewhere and not hear
anything about it at all.
And so that's a little scary.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Despite the energy surrounding young and Puerto Rican voters, experts warn
not to forget about one other population.
Senior citizens are a reliable bloc that leans Republican.
We met one of them, Gary Sisler, at the East Ridge retirement community in South Miami.
He's an 84-year-old former Exxon employee who spent years living abroad before moving
to Miami.
Sisler thinks people who disagree aren't talking to each other enough.
GARY SISLER, Florida: In my case, I have two college-educated daughters.
I know they're both liberal.
We can't talk politics.
And I have overheard them say to my 10-year old grandson, don't discuss politics with
grand pop.
That hurts.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Among the issues he's concerned about?
Immigration.
GARY SISLER: I think that we are bring far too many unskilled people, uneducated people
that don't speak any English.
That creates a social obligation on our part.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: He's also worried about the federal debt.
GARY SISLER: Both sides seem to be scared to death to even discuss it.
I blame both sides equally.
Come on, get off your fanny.
This is an issue.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: In 2016, Sisler started a monthly political discussion group called
Jib Jab.
He introduced us to a few of his friends, all Republicans who strongly support President
Trump.
GENE PATTERSON, Florida: He has reached out to groups of people who were forgotten before.
This president has restored faith in a lot of those people.
FRAN PLUMMER, Florida: Immigration is a big problem right now.
This bothers me.
GARY SISLER: The Puerto Ricans, of course, they automatically can vote coming in.
I'm kind of bothered by that.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: What do you think of Democrats looking at young people and people of color
as the way to get this blue wave in Florida?
ROBERTA DICKINSON-PATTERSON, Florida: I don't like it.
To me, that's what's happening.
YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Three groups, retirees, young voters, and an influx of Puerto Ricans,
all could have a major impact on election night, just one week away -- Judy.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Yamiche Alcindor in Miami, thank you.
On the West Coast of Florida this week toxic algae have started to appear.
As Lisa Desjardins reports, it has again shed a spotlight on the importance of the environment
in these elections.
LISA DESJARDINS: Rob Merlino spends as much time as he can on the water here in Venice,
near Sarasota, on Florida's west coast.
A self-employed marketer, he likes to say the pier is his home office.
ROB MERLINO, Florida: Oh, I got something.
LISA DESJARDINS: In recent months, though, he was forced off the water.
His piece of paradise where he moves to enjoy life has been plagued by environmental problems.
He showed us the water today.
ROB MERLINO: This is not what it would look like normally.
It would be more of a bright green when it's churned up with the sand.
This is bad.
LISA DESJARDINS: And his pictures of it last year.
ROB MERLINO: See how turquoise it is?
LISA DESJARDINS: Yes.
ROB MERLINO: That's what it should look like.
LISA DESJARDINS: In Florida, a host of water problems are rising as election issues.
The toxic red tide algae spread from the Gulf Coast to Miami, burning beachgoers' eyes and
lungs and killing fish, dolphins, sea turtles and manatees by the dozen.
"PBS NewsHour" reported on this crisis earlier this fall.
In other areas of the state, Lake Okeechobee and on the Atlantic Coast, slimy, rancid blooms
of green blue algae spurred health warnings.
And, in South Florida, there are rising concerns about rising sea levels and climate change.
And this year, the environment has become a political force, especially in Florida's
U.S. Senate race.
The Republican candidate, Governor Rick Scott, saw his polling numbers go south as red tide
algae bloomed.
Scott's opponent says he cut budgets for the environmental programs and that, under his
administration, state workers were told not to use the term climate change.
This is why Scott lost libertarian and usually Republican voting Merlino, who can't believe
he's heading toward a vote for Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson.
ROB MERLINO: I know I'm not going to vote for Rick Scott.
Bill Nelson is woefully ineffective as a senator.
Rick Scott has been overtly harmful as a governor.
So I will choose woefully ineffective over overtly harmful every day.
MAN: We want to make sure that people know whatever goes in that drain is going to end
up in the Gulf.
LISA DESJARDINS: Issues that motivated families on Saturday morning labeling storm drains
to try and prevent chemical dumping, which feeds algae blooms and exacerbates red tide.
DEB TAMARGO, Florida: Water is probably the most important issue.
LISA DESJARDINS: Tampa real estate agent and lifelong resident Republican Deb Tamargo has
been built her life around the water and the outdoors.
She believes Rick Scott will help, pointing to his leadership during recent hurricanes,
saying he only cut environmental funding during lean years, and has increased it recently.
She believes voting a straight Republican ticket would mean more help from Washington
and the Trump administration at a pivotal time.
DEB TAMARGO: We have a rare opportunity to elect Ron DeSantis as our governor, Rick Scott
as our senator.
As long as Donald Trump is in the White House, this is a trifecta for the environment.
This is a win for the environment.
MAN: Clean water!
LISA DESJARDINS: Meantime, some Floridians are organizing and rallying in reaction to
the growing algae problems.
Democrat Nadine Mrowicki is part of a nonpartisan group, Hands Along the Water.
Do you think the environment could swing this election?
NADINE MROWICKI, Florida: Absolutely.
The people I have talked to in these -- all these groups that I'm with for clean water,
I'm talking to longtime Republicans, and they're voting Democrat because of water.
We're not going red or blue or purple or green.
We're going water.
LISA DESJARDINS: These roadside rallies got smaller after red tides subsided a few weeks
ago, but the winds off the Gulf Coast are shifting back, again pushing red tide waters
toward what usually are some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and potentially again
shifting the political tides in a major election year.
For the "PBS NewsHour," Lisa Desjardins in Venice, Florida.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And now for a special Florida edition of Politics Monday, I'm joined here
in Tampa by NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith and Susan MacManus, who is a
longtime political analyst in this state.
It's great to have you both here with me.
TAMARA KEITH, National Public Radio: Great to be here.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Tam, so you have been looking at the national map in this election season.
But put Florida in context.
Why does this state matter so much?
TAMARA KEITH: I can tell you it does matter so much, because it's not just about 2018.
It's also about 2020.
And there are -- there's this very competitive governor's race that matters a lot to President
Trump, because who the governor of Florida is in 2020 will matter for that election.
Of course, there's also this very competitive Senate race and a number of competitive House
races as well, because Florida is this battleground.
JUDY WOODRUFF: It's a battleground, Susan MacManus.
And, as you know from watching elections here, it's a state where elections are close.
Tell us about that.
SUSAN MACMANUS, Florida Political Analyst: The last four big elections, two governor's
races and two presidential, the margin of victory has just been 1 percent.
There's no other state that is that competitive.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And you were telling me this morning the changing demographics, the makeup
of the voting electorate here is what's making the outcome here uncertain.
SUSAN MACMANUS: Definitely.
So many people still think of Florida as a retiree-only state.
But the real, real news this election cycle is the rise of the younger electorate.
Fully 52 percent of our current registered voters are from the three youngest generations.
That would be Generation X, the millennials, and Generation Z.
They're not particularly interested in registering with either party.
There are a lot of them registering as no party affiliation.
And they are just up for grabs.
They're very energized by someone who can talk to them about their issues and communicate
and inspire.
I like to say they're looking for new faces in high places.
And they're kind of a wild card.
If they show up, one candidate is going to win, if they don't, the other.
That's how much clout they have this election cycle.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And much more diverse than the older generation here.
SUSAN MACMANUS: The older generations are largely white.
The younger generation is largely minority.
In fact, the youngest generation is a majority non-white.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Tamara, President Trump is a factor in this election, no doubt about
it.
He's coming here.
But you and I were just talking about the really divided messages they're sending.
TAMARA KEITH: Right.
So, President Trump has two more rallies here between now and Election Day.
He has one in Fort Myers and one in Pensacola.
The congressional districts he's going to are not in play.
These are solid red Republican districts, where he is going to go hold a typical Trump
rally that is designed to fire up the base, where he talks about the caravan, and he talks
about how terrible Democrats are.
Then you have the Trump campaign announcing today -- releasing this ad that it's going
to run.
President Trump isn't in the ad at all.
And the ad is really aimed at these suburban white women, who have become a central focus
of the midterms, and soft focus.
And there's -- there's a woman with her family.
And President Trump is simply not present in those ads.
Meanwhile, at his rallies, he's saying, I'm on the ballot.
Even if I'm not on the ballot, I'm on the ballot.
Vote for me.
JUDY WOODRUFF: We heard the voters that I interviewed, Susan, earlier saying that the
president is -- people have strong feelings about him one way or another.
How much of a factor do you think he is?
SUSAN MACMANUS: He's in practically every ad, maybe not that one.
But everyone knows that this is sort of a referendum on the president.
It's hardened Republican support for him, some who were wavering.
And it's certainly hardened Democratic opposition to him.
He is clearly a big factor.
And his favorability is a little bit higher in this state than in some other places.
So, surely, his last-minute appearances are designed to turn out the base, but particularly
in Fort Myers, because that's an area where the environmental issues have been so bad,
that some of the Republicans voted for his opponent in a -- in the primary.
So he's got to pull those people back on board.
JUDY WOODRUFF: As we get closer to Election Day, of course, so much of the news, so much
of our attention is focused on the terrible events of the last several days, Tam, the
horrible shooting at the synagogue in Pittsburgh, before that, the pipe bomb.
There was a shooting at a grocery store in Kentucky against two black Americans.
As you talk to voters in the state and the candidates, how much of that division is showing
up?
TAMARA KEITH: The division is absolutely there.
Voters -- basically, Democrats think that there is something wrong with Republicans,
and Republicans think that there is something wrong with Democrats.
It is not just about policy anymore.
It's very personal in the way that our politics have -- have gone.
Usually, after an election, you move on.
2016 isn't over yet.
Those fights are still being fought.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And, Susan, again, you and I were having a conversation about how, for
all the criticism of President Trump, the reaction even to these terrible crimes, hate
crimes, is divided here.
SUSAN MACMANUS: It is very divided.
And I think what I'm hearing from a lot of people I have spoken to is a sadness, sadness
about the direction the country is in.
And it's worrisome.
And it is true that each side sees the other is more vitriolic than their own.
But everyone, I think, is just grasping for some kind of reality and some kind of civility
in politics.
What we're watching here is, is this turn of events, this heavily violent way we're
going, going to keep some voters from voting at all?
We don't know that.
Or will it energize?
But I think, overall, I just hear the word, I'm really sad about America's direction.
TAMARA KEITH: One thing that I'm going to be looking for in the next few days is, how
does this affect the president's approval rating?
The president's approval rating is often very much tied to midterm outcomes.
His approval had been ticking up.
But in the past, after events like Charlottesville last year, his approval took a real hit.
And it's not clear whether his response to these events, where he has he has -- he has
said that anti-Semitism is wrong and needs to be condemned, then at the same time going
to a rally and saying Hillary Clinton's name in a way, and the crowd starts chanting "Lock
her up," is -- is he going to be rewarded or punished by voters for that?
SUSAN MACMANUS: And even today, we have had a shooting into a Republican headquarters
over in Volusia County.
It just doesn't stop.
It's so troubling to Americans.
JUDY WOODRUFF: It's certainly cast a shadow as we get close to this Election Day.
Tamara Keith, Susan MacManus, thank you both so much.
SUSAN MACMANUS: Thank you.
TAMARA KEITH: You're welcome.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And that's the "NewsHour" for tonight.
From Tampa, I'm Judy Woodruff.
Join us online and again tomorrow night.
For all of us at the "PBS NewsHour," thank you, and we'll see you soon.

Live from New York City,
it's the Wendy Williams Show!
How you doin'?
(upbeat music)
♪ Feel it, feel it, feel it ♪
♪ Come on, you need it ♪
♪ Say it like you mean it ♪
♪ Just shout it out ♪
(upbeat music)
Now, here's Wendy!
(audience cheers)
You got it!
We need it!
Thanks for the love.
(woman chuckles)
Thank you for watching,
and say hello to my co-hosts, my studio audience.
Loud and proud.
How you doin'?
How you doin'?
(woman stuttering) (audience laughing)
Come on.
(audience cheers) (upbeat music)
My big sister Wanda called me this weekend
and she told me about my niece who's a newscaster in Miami,
and she, my niece, was being shuttled off to Pittsburgh.
I had no idea what was going on there.
Then Wanda says, there's this mass shooting
and so on and so forth.
My niece was there covering.
Listen.
When will it stop?
(audience aw's)
No, no, no.
But when will it stop?
Condolences to families and the victims
and everyone affected by this stupid shooting
at the synagogue in Pittsburgh.
What do they call it, Pitt Strong now?
Pitt Strong.
(audience claps) I made a name for you.
I made a name for you but apparently,
the Steelers let you use their symbol,
but Pitt Strong would've been.
Suzanne, I'm sorry for your people.
Thank you.
Don't worry, they've been trying to kill off
our people for years, for centuries,
and we're never going away.
Exactly.
(audience cheers)
I noticed that you put a curl in your hair.
Yes! (audience laughs)
I put a curl.
It looks beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Yes!
I don't do that much that often,
but today I felt like juzzing it a little bit.
Because of the weekend.
Yes.
Exactly.
And it was storming here and people's
lights were going out.
It was ridiculous in the Tri-State, and then the shooting.
I'm happy for the Boston Red Sox though.
Just saying. (audience cheers)
I'm just saying.
You win everything in Boston.
The football, the baseball, the basketball,
you win everything.
(audience laughs) So you win again.
Sorry LA Dodgers.
Shout out to Boston.
I think I'm going there in two weeks.
I'll be there.
(audience claps)
Going back home to Northeastern University,
yup, yup, and yup.
(audience laughs)
Days like this though,
it does get very frustrating 'cause
we put on a cheap and cheerful show here for you all
and when stuff like this goes on,
you might want me to I guess get in my CNN mode.
Well you can see I'm wearing a damn CNN dress.
(audience laughs)
(audience cheers)
Don't clap for this dress.
(audience laughs)
Do not, do not do it.
She only looks good when I'm sitting
only 'cause I can do this.
(audience laughs)
(audience cheers)
But I wasn't in the mood for arguing
when I got in this morning.
I was just happy to be out of the house.
Just trying to process how to
put on the same cheerful show that we do every day
and we're sticking to our formula.
I'm not going newsy on you.
(audience cheers)
Unless the news involves our people.
(audience cheers)
Puffy wants Cassie back!
(audience gasps)
It's been all over social media!
He's using it to try to help him to get support.
Cassie posted a photo of herself the other day.
Here's the photo.
(audience gasps)
And he commented, love you forever.
(audience gasps)
I thought that he was now with a 22 year old.
(audience hums)
Or something.
Maybe not a permanent girlfriend, but just snacking around.
(audience laughs)
Puffy posted a picture of Michael Jackson's
song Lady in My Life and wrote,
if anyone sees Cassie this weekend,
please tell her to listen to this song 100 times.
(audience groans)
Would that get you?
It would get me.
Would that get you?
It would get me.
It depends on what he's done.
Why are they broken up?
She spent 11 years with him, she's 32 years old,
she's got no children which by the way,
in thinking over the weekend about kids or no kids
'cause you know I'm quick to say he's got money and so on,
you invested your time, have the baby, but you know what,
there's nothing better than a clean break
when you're young enough to go on and do your own thing.
(audience claps)
Cassie doesn't have to deal with
any of that baby mama drama and all that mess.
She's 32, she'll get another.
She'll get another.
(audience laughs)
After they broke up, Cassie posted, F these hoes.
(audience gasps)
Is that implying that he's been cheating on her?
Yes!
You said of course. (audience laughs)
I want them to get back together.
(audience groans)
Shut up, I'm a Cancer. (audience laughs)
You know I'm emotional.
We've already cried on the show today.
We cry, we laugh, we go home.
That's the show. (audience laughs)
I want them to get back together
only 'cause they seem so adorable together
and then when he came here on our show
and he expressed to her how much he loves her and stuff,
public announcement.
And she doesn't have much of a career.
(audience laughs)
What is Cassie doing?
She's working on an album.
She's 32 which is about 10 years too old
(audience laughs)
for the kids who would care to buy.
I suggest don't use social media though to reach out.
I think this is a grand overture from Puffy.
I don't believe he really wants her wants her back.
I believe he probably treated her
at some particular point like a possession,
like a possession and if you really care
then you'd reach out privately, not publicly.
(audience claps)
Yeah but 32, no kids, clean break, move on with your life.
You got this Cassie, you got it.
(audience claps)
However, before he gets back with you,
he's got to get back with Jennifer Lopez.
(audience laughs)
In my mind, in my mind.
Yes honey!
They were that couple. (audience claps)
If it weren't for that hiccup where
the nine millimeter was found in the car
and they ran numerous lights and
gave chase with the police in Manhattan that fateful night,
that she decided I've had enough of this life.
(audience laughs)
I gotta go.
Kind of exciting though, right?
(audience laughs)
Just a little bit.
(audience laughs)
You put your kids on Dancing with the Stars,
you get what you get.
(audience groans)
I didn't watch last night.
Did you watch last night?
No.
Clap if you watch Dancing with the Stars,
the junior edition.
(audience laughs)
One woman, and she dares not to clap.
(audience laughs)
She dares not to clap.
No, not you.
The woman with the glasses.
Yes you ma'am.
You won't even un-furrow your fists.
You're clapping with the bottom of your palms.
(audience laughs)
You can't even give it up.
(audience laughs)
Okay ma'am.
Welcome to the show.
(audience laughs)
(audience claps)
Apparently, Honey Boo Boo was eliminated last night.
(audience gasps)
Stop it.
(audience laughs)
Junior.
Honey Boo Boo is now how old?
13.
She's 13 years old.
(audience laughs)
It's time for a sit down.
(audience laughs)
Really Mama June?
You did all your stuff and got all this and that snatched.
Don't do it to Honey Boo Boo.
(audience laughs)
She is on her way.
She broke down when they announced
that she was going home and everyone breaks down.
(audience aw's) Of course they do!
First of all, that kid right there,
one of them in the picture they think is gonna win.
I really don't care.
(audience laughs)
All these kids who have been eliminated so far
have cried every week.
Well that's what you do.
You cry for two reasons.
Take it from moi.
You cry number one 'cause thank God I'm going home.
I can get my life back.
(audience laughs)
Then you cry for number two,
damn if I danced another week,
the check would go up this amount of money.
(audience laughs)
You know what I mean?
They give you your set amount, but then it goes up,
and then if you win, it's not like you're a millionaire.
I think you might be a quarter of a millionaire.
I think it's $250,000, whatever.
Many people feel that the show
shouldn't have casted children.
I agree because I don't like seeing
children being shamed on TV.
(audience claps)
I don't like any of the kid shows.
I don't like Top Chef Junior where the
kids know more about nutmeg than we do.
(audience laughs)
Running down ingredients like they're grown.
(audience laughs)
Speaking like they graduated from Dartmouth.
(audience laughs)
Get out of my face.
(audience laughs)
And I don't like shows like this either.
You know who I blame?
I blame the parents.
(audience claps)
If you wanna have a precocious kid and
you want your kid to go into show business
and all this and that,
then get ready to deal with the worst,
including Hot Topics talking about ya.
(audience claps)
Just saying, just saying!
And I've held my tongue about Honey Boo Boo.
I think this might be the first time Norman.
I think so.
That I've ever let it go! It is, yup.
Well it's obvious.
Right.
13.
(audience laughs)
Stevie Wonder's kid is in there,
(audience gasps)
one of the many.
He's got a plethora of children,
but his name is Mandela.
Mandela?
Manla, yeah.
Manla, Manla.
He has nine kids with five women
and Manla's one of the kids. (audience gasps)
(audience laughs)
In the meantime though,
he's not the one who people think will win.
Has Stevie been to the competition yet?
I don't think I've seen Stevie.
(man laughs)
Oh wait a minute. Excuse me?
(audience laughs)
And he hasn't seen me.
No, I'm kidding.
(audience laughs) (man laughs)
(audience claps)
Sorry.
It was too easy.
(man laughs)
The predicted winner though of this
childish conversation is Miles from Black-ish.
Miles Brown. (audience claps)
If you care, if you care,
Dancing with the Stars Juniors airs on Sunday nights on ABC.
(audience claps)
Iman says she'll never get married again.
(audience gasps)
You know she's the widow of David Bowie.
They were married for 24 years.
(audience aw's)
They have a daughter, one child, who's my son's age.
That's how I always know it.
She's 18 and Iman is 63 and she says
she's got no interest in even dating,
must less getting married again.
(audience hums)
What do you think about that?
He's been gone for at least two years, at least two years.
She looks all kinds of juicy.
(audience claps) (audience cheers)
But when she says she's not dating
and when she says she's got no interest in marrying,
you've got to squint and look between the fine lines
'cause what that means is,
I'm not getting married again because
I'm not sharing my money.
(audience laughs)
Number one. (audience claps)
The money that I've made by myself
off of my Iman empire and the money
that I've gotten from David.
My daughter and I are just fine.
I'm not getting married again, I'm 63 years old.
I love marriage, you know I love marriage,
but you know what, I get what she's saying, but dating?
I believe she's at least smashing.
(audience laughs)
(audience claps)
Here's how it goes.
Here's how it goes here in the city.
There's at least 10 different events
that any given socialite or famous person
could go to at any given moment of the day.
When you go, you're not dating,
but you're socializing and you see handsome men
and nice boys, maybe come over for a cocktail later.
That's not a date. (audience gasps)
That's not a date, and that's not marriage.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Yes!
So I hope she's at least socializing.
(audience claps)
(woman laughs)
I had a terrible sleep last night.
No, there's a hornet loose in the house.
(audience laughs)
It's hornet season.
It's not warm, it's not cold,
you leave doors open, you do stuff.
(audience laughs)
I was thinking about Wayne Brady over the weekend.
Well because I told you he was going
to be on the soap opera playing the doctor.
Not Young and Restless.
The Bold and the Beautiful.
Bold and the Beautiful, playing the doctor.
I was thinking God, he's got such a sweet job
there at Let's Make a Deal.
Thank you co-hosts.
(audience laughs)
At Let's Make a Deal that,
why does he wanna memorize soap lines?
Then I recall, oh my gosh I forgot all about this.
Once upon a time, there was a talk show host named Wendy.
(audience laughs)
And she was asked to play herself on One Life To Live.
(audience gasps)
They changed her name, but the same gossipy persona.
(audience laughs) They put me at a desk,
I had cards to hold, a pen to bite on,
and I'm gossiping about the entire Pine Valley.
It's going down.
This is my job.
I'm the Deborah Norville of Pine Valley.
I'm sitting, I'm gossiping, I'm doing my job.
They asked me back maybe three or five times.
So I'm memorizing lines after leaving the show,
I'm memorizing my lines,
but then I'm realizing wait, I'm playing me.
The lines are right there on the desk.
I'm hard on myself.
Then, the phone call comes.
We want you on full-time.
(audience gasps)
We're taking you from behind the desk,
we're gonna have you go to the Buchanan's.
(audience laughs)
I remember them.
Are you laughing?
I'm laughing at the Buchanan's.
(man laughs)
I would get to know the one with the
long red hair, Tina.
Tina.
Tina Lord.
I'd be mixed up with all them.
I was excited about it 'cause wow.
(audience laughs)
But scared because of all the memorization of the lines
and you have to memorize correctly on soap operas.
They don't like that mess.
(audience laughs)
'Cause now all of a sudden Wendy,
you're not looking at the camera acting like Inside Edition.
Now you're dealing with the Buchanan's,
there's a Christmas party, you've got lines to read,
and people are coming through,
and you've got things to remember, and these are pros.
I was like oh my God, oh my God, but I'll take it.
I'll take it, I'll figure it out.
I'll take it, I'll figure it out,
then all of a sudden they got canceled.
(audience aw's)
I know.
Dammit man.
(audience laughs) (man laughs)
But in a weird kind of way,
I was like it was probably too big of a job for me.
(woman burps)
(audience laughs)
Sorry.
(audience claps)
I apologize.
You talk a lot, you breathe air in,
you talk a lot, you breathe air in.
What do you want me to do?
(audience laughs)
(woman laughs)
Zoe Kravitz is on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine
and I gotta tell you something.
(audience cheers)
She recreated her mother Lisa's 1988 cover.
Right?
Mother and daughter, daughter and mother.
Mommy, we need to have a long talk after this show
right here today. (audience laughs)
There's no good reason that you and I
should not be able to do this.
(audience laughs)
I'll call you when the show is over.
(audience claps)
We've got more of it for you everybody.
Up next, the Inside Scoop on Megyn Kelly's
blackface controversy and so much more,
so grab a snack and come on back.
(audience cheers) (upbeat music)

Young Greatness Dead: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com
Young Greatness is after being shot in the back in an early morning shooting outside of a Waffle House on October 29 in New Orleans.
He was 35 years old.
CBS New Orleans reports that Greatness, whose real name is Theodore Jones, died at around 1:35 a.m.
after suffering from a single gunshot wound.
Responding emergency personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.
NOLA.com reports that Greatness was shot in the back.
The NOLA report mentions that police are looking for two suspects who have not been identified yet.
Officials believe that Greatness' car was stolen from the scene.
The Waffle House is located in the 2900 block of Elysian Fields Avenue.
Here's what you need to know:.
Greatness' Mother Said Her Son Was Not Violent & Never Carried a Gun.
Greatness' mother, Jeanine Rose, said in an interview with WDSU that her son was in town for a funeral when he was shot.
Rose added that her son was facetiming with his manager when he was shot dead.
Rose added that Greatness was supposed to have gone to Atlanta on the day he was shot.
She said that her son was never violent and did not carry a gun.
In a separate interview with WDSU's Kweilyn Murphy, Rose said about gun violence in New Orleans, "It's too many mothers making slow walks to sad tombs.
One of the Founders of Cash Money Records Said that Greatness Was 'The Sound of the Future'.
Greatness was a native of New Orleans but moved to Houston in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
In 2017, Greatness signed with Cash Money Records, his first single, "Moolah," had dropped in 2015.
Greatness was a 2002 graduate of John F.
Kennedy Senior High School in New Orleans.
In an interview with the Fader in March 2016, Greatness spoke about growing up in New Orleans, "[I was] born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana—a product of the St.
Bernard project.
Growing up in New Orleans there's so much poverty and so much murder, so you only have two choices if you're a young black man: it's either get killed or go to jail.
I didn't want to get killed, I didn't want to go to jail.
Unfortunately, I went to jail." Greatness went on to say that he had just begun rapping in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit.
Greatness said that he "ran into a little trouble, went to prison for a few years." After his stint in prison, Greatness said his resolve was strengthened.
He said his jail time "gave me the hunger, the passion, and that, "I'm not taking no for an answer you, heard me?".
Birdman, one of the founders of Cash Money, told XXL Magazine in October 2017, "The first time I heard him, I knew he was going to be big.
He's got a grasp on melody that few artists have.
It's the sound of the future." Speaking to Rolling Stone in 2016, Young Greatness commented on his use of melody saying, "I always was melodic because that's how I came up – second line music, we sing.
That was already instilled in me.
We used to go so much to where I was the child in my household that started rebelling on going to the second line.
Every Sunday, I gotta get a hair cut, get new clothes.
You're walking for like 15 miles through the whole New Orleans.
So if it's cold, you're gonna freeze.
If it's hot you're gonna sweat.
It's just a party on feet.
The Saints win the Super Bowl, they're gonna have a second line.
The Pelicans win a game, they're gonna have a second line.
"Moolah" go platinum, they damn sure gonna have a second line!".
Greatness Hated His Most Famous Song When He Heard it for the First Time.
.
Greatness said in a 2016 interview with XXL that he didn't like his most successful single, "Moolah," when he first heard it.
The rapper said, "To be honest with you, I didn't like it.
I made it and I was like, "Ah man, it's bull****." When I made it, we all loved the record instantly, but once I went on promo and was performing it, it didn't feel right to me because at first people didn't understand it.
But it's a rhythmic record, so those kind of records, you have to work them on people so they can understand it, and once people really took the time to listen to the song and the message, that's when the song really caught on and that's when it started feeling right to me, like yeah…this the one.".
One of Greatness' Final Instagram Post Saw Him Pay a Beautiful Tribute to His Daughter.
.
One of Greatness' final Instagram post saw him pay tribute to his daughter.
The rapper wrote, "Happy Birthday To My Beautiful Daughter T'yah My Headache, My Inspiration, My Motivation Happy 14th Birthday Daddy Baby And Yes Iam Going To The Prom With You." A witness to the shooting told CBS New Orleans, "You wouldn't expect that coming happening with him.
Dude wasn't into nothing but his music and his daughter… Wasn't into nothing else man.".
Fans & Fellow Rappers Have Been Paying Tribute to Greatness on Twitter.

I am not a joke. - Duration: 5:53.
Hello everyone!!! Sofiya here with another Dwarfism Awareness Video for 2018.
We're gonna get a little deep today guys, so bear with me
But I hope that you hear me. Sometimes people ask me
What is the hardest thing about being a little person?
and.. uhm...
It's a hard question for me to answer I feel like I see more good than I do bad.
However,
there is a lot of a
social
barrier that we fight against if not every day
every other day.
For some reason,
for the longest time
little people have been
funny. The butt of a joke, so to speak.
Really what that has done is it has built
years and years and years of a lack of respect for
our community.
And really what I mean by that is; the mockery, the laughing, the making fun of,
the refusing to see an adult
The
the refusing to see a human being. But more just a body and that's it.
This social stigma comes from
generations and generations and generations and generations ago that has just been going on for so long.
Well if we look back in history
little people were always used as a form of entertainment;
a gesture, a joker. Someone to tumble around and fall, and people would laugh at how funny that looked.
And then, you you move you move forward in history, and we we start to go into
traveling Circus, and PT Barnum, and freak shows and sideshows. Maybe we move forward in time a little bit and
uhm something popular called dwarf-tossing becomes like a big thing
and so people will go to a bar and pay money to watch a little person be thrown across the room and
stuck to a velcro wall. Then we have things like
"Midget Wrestling" and any event that
circulates around our bodies.
So for the longest longest time
Little people have only been seen as a body and not a human.
And this is really really important to me because I'm in the entertainment industry,
right? So because that's been the case for so long people expect me to follow into that path
but I refuse I refuse to live that path.
It has nothing to do with the shame of my body either. I love my body
I embrace my body and all of its uniquenesses
But I don't embrace a mockery of my body and that's where I draw the line.
So... the reason why I bring this up
today in my video is because ...
It's still going on guys
it's
2018 and there are still
establishments that encourage things like dwarf-tossing.
There are still establishments that encourage things like "see the smallest woman in the world"
"20 bucks to get in!" And people are lined up to see someone be just because they're small.
Now I'm not saying we're not fascinating or anything, but
what I'm asking people, is to remind themselves
that we're talking about human beings here.
We're talking about PEOPLE.
I truly believe that because of this ignorance and because of this lack of respect
There has been a multitude of
Suicides,
of substance abuse,
of depression
within the LP community and it's because
sometimes it feels like the rest of the world doesn't take us seriously.
So....
That's what I think I wanted to share today.
And I know that it is a bit dark, but it's important to talk about because this is real stuff
this is real stuff that we deal with on a daily basis.
A lot of us are constantly put against a wall when it comes to
defending our bodies and defending our
reasons to live.
So I'm here to tell you, I'm here for a purpose. I'm here to tell you
to be my Ally.
To help me in the big fight. In the good fight.
I need you to help me teach other people about how that's wrong
I need you to help me
tell other people that
we are people too!
No one is saying that we can't make a joke here and there or we can't laugh at ourselves
or we can't have a sense of humor about life.
But!
We CANNOT do that at the expense of someone's life.
I am proud to be a little person I am proud of my body,
but I am NOT a joke.

Conversations with Jim Zirin: Who Will Control Congress in 2019? - Duration: 27:15.
♪ [THEME MUSIC] ♪
>> HI THERE.
I AM JIM ZIRIN.
WELCOME BACK FOR MORE
CONVERSATIONS.
THIS IS A WATERSHED YEAR FOR THE
PRESIDENCY OF DONALD TRUMP.
WITH THE MIDTERM ELECTION, MANY
KEY RACES ARE TOO CLOSE TO CALL.
SIX MONTHS AGO, CONVENTIONAL
WISDOM HAD THAT THE DEMOCRATS
WOULD WIN THE NET OF THE 23
SEATS THEY NEED TO REGAIN
CONTROL OF THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES,
AND REPUBLICANS WOULD KEEP THE
SENATE -- ONLY
35 SEATS ARE UP FOR GRABS.
RECENT POLLS TREND A POSSIBLY
DIFFERENT OUTCOME.
WITH REPUBLICANS
RETAINING CONTROL
POSSIBLY OVER BOTH CHAMBERS.
POLITICAL ANALYSTS HAVE BEEN
CHEWING OVER THE IMPACT OF
TRUMP'S REACTION TO THE MURDER
OF JAMAL KHASHOGGI.
ALSO FACTORING, WHICH PARTY
GAINS FROM THE CHAOTIC KAVANAUGH
CONFIRMATION HEARINGS?
WHAT IMPRESSION HAS TRUMP LEFT
ON THE ELECTORATE WITH THE
OVERTURES TO NORTH KOREA AND
SEEMINGLY INCOHERENT APPROACH TO
VLADIMIR PUTIN?
HERE TO HELP US IS DOUG SCHOEN,
THE BEST POLLSTER I KNOW.
I AM DELIGHTED TO WELCOME DOUG
BACK TO THE PROGRAM.
FIVE MONTHS AGO, YOU WERE HERE
AND YOU WERE ASKED WHAT THE
OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION WOULD
BE.
WHETHER THE HOUSE WOULD FLIP AND
BECOME DEMOCRATIC.
THIS IS WHAT YOU SAID.
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
>> YOU HAVE MANY QUESTIONS.
>> MY QUESTION IS, WILL THE
HOUSE FLIP?
>> THE HOUSE WILL FLIP.
WE HAVE 40 REPUBLICAN
RETIREMENTS.
WE HAVE A SEA OF BLUE ON THE
WEST AND EAST COAST WHERE
REPUBLICANS ARE IN TROUBLE IN
SUBSTANTIAL MEASURE BECAUSE OF A
TAX BILL THAT WAS PUNITIVE.
WE HAVE PUBLIC OPINION, WHICH
TYPICALLY HOLDS THE PARTY IN
POWER,
THE REPUBLICANS ACCOUNTABLE.
WE PASSED ONE PIECE OF
LEGISLATION, THE TAX BILL, WHICH
IN AND OF ITSELF WAS NOT
POPULAR.
>> YOU SAID THE HOUSE
WILL FLIP.
HAVE YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND?
>> I DO NOT THINK THERE IS
ANYTHING I NEED TO SAY TO ADD TO
THAT.
THE ONLY CAVEAT IS THAT POLLS
SHOW A BIT OF TIGHTENING IN THE
LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS POST
KAVANAUGH.
ON THE SENATE LEVEL, THERE HAS
BEEN AN IMPROVEMENT ON THE
REPUBLICAN POSITION IN THE
MARGINAL CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICTS.
THERE IS ABOUT A 25-26-27 SEAT
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY NOW.
I THINK THAT WILL HOLD UP.
I THINK WHAT I SAID FIVE MONTHS
AGO IS ACCURATE.
I STAND BY IT.
>> LET'S LOOK AT THE TWO Ks.
KAVANAUGH AND KHASHOGGI.
KAVANAUGH, THERE IS A POSSIBLE
BACKLASH FROM WOMEN
THAT CHRISTINE FORD WAS NOT
GIVEN A FAIR SHAKE.
THERE IS ALSO A BACKLASH
FROM MEN WHO THINK MEN ARE
UNFAIRLY ACCUSED.
>> SO FAR, WE ARE SEEING THAT
THE RED STATES HAVE MOVED PRETTY
SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE DIRECTION
OF THE REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE
RACE.
WE WILL GO THROUGH THEM LATER
DISTRICT BY DISTRICT AND STATE
BY STATE, BUT FOR NOW, I THINK
WE ARE SEEING MORE IMPACT OF A
POSITIVE NATURE FOR THE
REPUBLICANS FROM THE KAVANAUGH
HEARINGS THEN WE ARE, SO-CALLED
BACKLASH FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
>> WHAT ABOUT THE FEMALE
REPUBLICANS?
ARE THEY GOING TO VOTE FOR
REPUBLICANS AFTER
THIS PERFORMANCE?
>> FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN,
THEY ARE ABOUT 65 TO 70% OF THE
FEMALE REPUBLICANS ARE STILL
REPUBLICANS.
I THINK THE ANSWER IS YES.
>> WHAT ABOUT MALE DEMOCRATS?
ARE THEY GOING TO FEEL
THREATENED AND THAT KAVANAUGH
WAS UNFAIRLY ACCUSED AND DECIDE
TO VOTE REPUBLICAN?
>> I THINK MALE DEMOCRATS ARE
GOING TO PUT THEIR PARTY
IDENTIFICATION AHEAD OF ANY
PRESUMED OR POTENTIAL
DEMONIZATION OF JUSTICE
KAVANAUGH OR ANY OTHER MAN.
I THINK YOU WILL SEE DEMOCRATIC
MEN VOTING 85 OR EVEN 90% FOR
THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE IN
THEIR STATE OR DISTRICT.
>> WE ARE LIVING IN A STRANGE
POLITICAL AGE WHERE FACTS DON'T
SEEM TO MATTER.
IF YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT OR
REPUBLICAN, YOU SEE FAX ONE WAY
OR ANOTHER.
IT IS ALMOST LIKE THE SUPREME
COURT.
>> I WOULD SAY THE LATTER
POINT IS VERY SAD.
I BELIEVE STRONGLY IN THE
SEPARATION OF POWER.
I BELIEVE YOU MAKE JUDICIAL
DECISIONS BASED ON PRECEDENT AND
NOT IDEOLOGY.
I THINK ONE OF THE IMPACTS OF
THE SO-CALLED FAKE NEWS IS THAT
IT HAS A CORROSIVE IMPACT ON
DEMOCRACY.
>> LET'S GO TO THE SECOND K,
WHICH IS JAMAL KHASHOGGI.
THE EVIDENCE SEEMS QUITE STRONG
THAT HE WAS MURDERED.
TRUMP HAS BEEN VERY SLOW TO
ACCUSE THE CROWN PRINCE OF SAUDI
ARABIA OF BEING RESPONSIBLE.
IT APPEARS HE WAS.
HE HAS SENT HIS TREASURY
SECRETARY TO A CONFERENCE IN
SAUDI.
>> I AM NOT SURE STEVEN MNUCHIN
IS GOING TO THE CONFERENCE.
I DO BELIEVE HE IS GOING TO HAVE
HIGH-LEVEL MEETINGS WITH THE
SAUDI'S AT THE SAME TIME.
THE OTHER QUESTION YOU POSED,
WHICH IS PART OF A TWO-PART
ISSUE, WHEN DID THE SAUDIS
ORDER THE MURDER AT THE HIGHEST
LEVELS OF KHASHOGGI.
IF THAT IS THE CASE WHICH
COULD BE WHAT HAPPENED,
WAS THE CROWN PRINCE
RESPONSIBLE?
THOSE ARE BIG ISSUES.
WHAT TRUMP IS CONCERNED ABOUT IS
A THIRD OR FOURTH ISSUE.
TRUMP'S CONCERN AS I SEE IT IS,
HE DOES NOT WANT OUR STRATEGIC
RELATIONSHIP WITH SAUDI ARABIA
TO BE CHALLENGED AND
PARTICULARLY THE ARMS SALES.
THAT LEADS INTO A FOURTH
QUESTION, WILL WE SEEK SANCTIONS
UNDER THE MAGNITSKY ACT
AGAINST THOSE WHO ARE ALLEGED TO
BE THE PERPETRATORS?
THOSE ARE THE ISSUES BEFORE US.
ON THE QUESTION OF THE DAY,
WILL IT IMPACT THE HOUSE AND
SENATE ELECTIONS?
I DO NOT THINK SO.
>> YOU DO NOT THINK THAT
VOTERS WILL BE CONCERNED ABOUT A
CAVALIER ATTITUDE TOWARD THE
MURDER OF A JOURNALIST?
>> I DO NOT.
IF YOU SAW LAST WEEK, TRUMP WAS
IN I THINK MONTANA AND
HE PRAISED A GUY NAMED
GREG GIANFORTE FOR BODY
SLAMMING A JOURNALIST.
HE WILL PROBABLY BE REELECTED.
IT IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE.
>> IT PLAYS WELL WITH HIS
BASE.
>> IT DOES.
IF YOU REMEMBER FROM THE RALLIES
IN 2016, A CERTAIN APPLAUSE LINE
WAS ATTACKING THE MEDIA.
>> WHAT ABOUT IMMIGRATION?
IS THAT AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR
VOTERS WHEN WE SEE THIS CARAVAN
OF MIGRANTS COMING IN FROM
CENTRAL AMERICA?
>> I THINK IT IS.
IF THERE IS ANY WAY FOR ME TO BE
WRONG, IT WILL BE FOR THE
CARAVAN TO GET TO THE BORDER AND
THERE IS A CONFRONTATION AND
TRUMP CALLING OUT THE MILITARY
OR THE NATIONAL GUARD, OR ICE.
THAT COULD
SWING A CLOSE ELECTION.
WE ARE ALREADY SEEING IN SOME OF
THE POLLS, A CLOSENESS BETWEEN
THAT ISSUE AND HOW PEOPLE
WILL VOTE.
>> IT IS A GREAT CHALLENGE FOR
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE
LEGALLY, WE CANNOT TURN THEM
BACK BECAUSE THEY DO NOT COME
FROM A CONTIGUOUS COUNTRY.
THEY HAVE TO BE BROUGHT IN AND
IT HAS TO BE DUE PROCESS.
IN THE PAST, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN
IN SUCH LARGE NUMBERS.
OUR POLICY HAS BEEN CATCH AND
RELEASE.
THEY WIND UP LIVING IN THE
SHADOWS.
>> I THINK WITH AN ELECTION
COMING UP, THE PRESIDENT HAVING
TAKEN THE POSITION HE HAS, YOU
WILL SEE A MUCH MORE ASSERTIVE
PRESENCE AT THE BORDER THAT WE
HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE.
>> THE STOCK MARKET TOOK A BIG
DIVE TODAY.
A BIG DIVE YESTERDAY.
IS THE POSSIBILITY OF A MARKET
DECLINE, A DRAMATIC MARKET
DECLINE, WILL THAT INFLUENCE
THE ELECTION?
>> IT WILL NOT HELP HIS
ARGUMENT THAT WE ARE HAVING
GREAT ECONOMIC NEWS.
TYPICALLY, THERE IS A LAG
BETWEEN THE MARKET GOING DOWN
AND ITS IMPACT ON PUBLIC
OPINION.
PEOPLE TYPICALLY DO NOT FOLLOW
THE STOCK MARKET DAY BY DAY.
THEY OPEN THEIR 401K STATEMENTS
AT THE END OF THE MONTH.
IT IS POSSIBLE WE COULD SEE SOME
DOWNWARD DRIFT FOR THE
REPUBLICANS AS PEOPLE GET
STATEMENTS RIGHT BEFORE ELECTION
DAY.
THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.
>> YOU'RE NOT ALWAYS CORRECT
IN YOUR PREDICTIONS BECAUSE THE
LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE, YOU
PREDICTED BOB MUELLER WOULD
ISSUE HIS REPORT BEFORE THE
MIDTERM ELECTION.
IT SEEMS VERY CLEAR IT WILL NOT
COME OUT UNTIL AFTERWARDS.
HE HAS ISSUED SOME INDICTMENTS.
DOES THE MUELLER
REPORT CAST A SHADOW
ON THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY?
>> AT THIS POINT, NO.
THERE HAS BEEN NO EVIDENCE OF
COLLUSION BETWEEN THE RUSSIANS
AND THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN OR TRUMP
AS AN INDIVIDUAL.
I THINK ROBERT MUELLER IS TAKING
GREAT PAINS TO MAKE WHAT APPEARS
TO BE BE TWO SPECIFIC ARGUMENTS.
ONE WE KNOW AND ONE WE DO
NOT KNOW.
ONE IS THAT HE IS GOING TO MAKE
AN ARGUMENT ABOUT OBSTRUCTION OF
JUSTICE.
PRESUMABLY ABOUT THREE OR FOUR
INSTANCES THAT REFLECT THAT.
THE ONE WE DO NOT KNOW IS THE
ARGUMENT ON COLLUSION.
THAT WAS THE BASIS FOR HIS
ORIGINAL APPOINTMENT.
IT IS TAKING LONGER THAN I
EXPECTED BECAUSE THE SECOND
ISSUE IS PROVING MORE DIFFICULT
FOR HIM TO PIN DOWN.
>> MANAFORT IS COOPERATING.
HE IS IN A POSITION TO KNOW THE
STORY.
MICHAEL COHEN, THERE IS AN
INDICATION HE IS COOPERATING.
HE MAY KNOW A LOT PARTICULARLY
BECAUSE THE STEELE DOSSIER
ALLEGED HE PAID MONEY.
ROBERT MUELLER OUGHT TO BE
BRINGING THINGS TO SOME SORT OF
CONCLUSION.
>> I THINK THAT THAT IS GOING
TO HAPPEN BETWEEN ELECTION DAY
AND CHRISTMAS.
THAT WOULD BE MY BEST GUESS.
THE ISSUE OF MICHAEL COHEN IS
THAT, DID HE GO TO PRAGUE TO
MEET WITH THE RUSSIANS?
HE MAINTAINS ADAMANTLY HE DID
NOT.
>> HIS LAWYER INDICATED THAT
HE DID GO.
>> THAT IS NEWS TO ME.
IF THAT HAD BEEN ESTABLISHED,
THAT WOULD PROVIDE A LEVEL OF
CREDIBILITY FOR THE STEELE
DOSSIER AND MAKE A COMPELLING
CASE ABOUT COLLUSION.
IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHETHER
THAT WILL BE ASSERTED AND PROVEN
AS A FACT.
IF IT IS AND IF PAUL MANAFORT IS
ABLE TO SAY THAT HE NOT ONLY
COMMUNICATED WITH HIS RUSSIAN
AND UKRAINIAN CLIENTS BUT MADE
TRUMP AWARE OF THE
COMMUNICATIONS AND HOW HE WAS
INTERFACING WITH THEM, WE COULD
HAVE A DIFFERENT POLITICAL LAY
OF THE LAND.
>> SUPPOSE THE HOUSE FLIPS AND
IS MAJORITY DEMOCRAT.
WILL THEY FILE A BILL OF
IMPEACHMENT AGAINST THE
PRESIDENT?
>> IF THERE IS EVIDENCE OF
COLLUSION AS WELL AS FOUR OR SO
INSTANCES OF OBSTRUCTION, I
THINK WE WILL HAVE A DEBATE
ABOUT IMPEACHMENT.
I CANNOT SAY DEFINITELY YES.
I THINK IT WILL BE EXPLORED.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE SENATE RACES.
YOU HAVE PREDICTED THE SENATE
WILL REMAIN REPUBLICAN.
CHUCK SCHUMER SAYS THERE IS A
PATH TO VICTORY.
NBC NEWS SAYS THERE IS A PATH TO
VICTORY.
DO YOU SEE ANY PATH TO VICTORY?
>> AS I LOOK AT THE MARGINAL
DISTRICTS, I WOULD SAY IT IS
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE
DEMOCRATS TO WIN THE SENATE.
>> WHICH ARE THE KEY RACES
THAT COULD GO THE OTHER WAY?
>> NEVADA AND ARIZONA.
>> BOTH TOO CLOSE TO CALL
ACCORDING TO THE POLLS.
>> IF THOSE WENT, THAT WOULD
SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENT.
UNTIL RECENTLY, IT LOOKED LIKE
FLORIDA WAS GOING TO GO.
MISSOURI IS IN PLAY.
MONTANA IS IN PLAY.
NORTH DAKOTA APPEARS TO BE IN
THE REPUBLICAN COLUMN.
TENNESSEE, WHICH APPEARED TO BE
IN PLAY, NOW APPEARS TO BE SAFE
REPUBLICAN.
>> NEW JERSEY IN PLAY.
>> I THINK IT IS A DEMOCRATIC
ENOUGH STATE THAT MENENDEZ WILL
HOLD ON.
I DO NOT RULE OUT THE
POSSIBILITY THAT -- CAN WIN.
>> UNLESS NEVADA, ARIZONA,
TENNESSEE, FLORIDA GO
DEMOCRAT, THERE IS NO PATH TO
VICTORY?
>> NOT THAT I SEE.
>> WHAT ABOUT THE KEY
CONGRESSIONAL RACES?
ARE THERE KEY STATES WHERE IT
COULD GO EITHER WAY?
>> GIVEN THAT YOU HAVE CAST
ASPERSIONS ON MY PREDICTIVE
ABILITY, I GO BACK TO MY SAGE
WORDS FROM FIVE MONTHS AGO.
I SAID THAT THE TAX BILL WAS
UNPOPULAR AND THAT IT WOULD HURT
THE REPUBLICANS.
THE EVIDENCE SUGGESTS IN NEW
YORK, CALIFORNIA, NEW JERSEY,
CONNECTICUT THAT THE
NON-DEDUCTIBILITY OF STATE AND
LOCAL TAXES HAS CONTRIBUTED TO
THE SENSE THAT THE COST OF
LIVING IS GETTING TOUGHER AND
TOUGHER.
ON BOTH COASTS.
I THINK THAT ITSELF COULD HELP
ON BOTH THE WESTERN
AND EASTERN EXTREMES OF
THE COUNTRY TO FLIPPING THE
HOUSE.
>> WE TALKED ABOUT KAVANAUGH
AND WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE
ELEMENTS OF THE PRESS.
WE TALKED ABOUT A BLUE WAVE AND
THAT THERE WILL BE A LANDSLIDE
VICTORY FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
I THINK YOU WOULD AGREE THAT THE
ELECTION IS A REFERENDUM ON
DONALD TRUMP AND HIS
STEWARDSHIP.
IS IT ALSO A REFERENDUM ON THE
KAVANAUGH APPOINTMENT?
>> IT IS A REFERENDUM ON THE
KAVANAUGH APPOINTMENT TO SOME
EXTENT, ON THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY.
ALSO ON DEMOCRATIC LIBERALISM,
WHICH IS THE ATTACK LINE OF THE
REPUBLICANS, WHICH SO FAR HAS
HAD SOME DEGREE OF CREDIBILITY.
>> IS KAVANAUGH REALLY THE
SECRET WEAPON THAT THE
REPUBLICANS HAVE FOR STOPPING A
BLUE WAVE?
>> I THINK IN THE SENSE THAT
MOBILIZATION OF REPUBLICANS IN
TERMS OF ENTHUSIASM
IS IN LARGE MEASURE
DUE TO KAVANAUGH.
IT WOKE UP A LOT OF SLEEPY
REPUBLICANS.
I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD CALL IT
A SECRET WEAPON BUT IT SURELY
WORKED OUT THE WAY THE
REPUBLICANS HOPED,
TO GALVANIZE THEIR VOTE.
>> -- THE KEY TO ELECTION
VOTER TURNOUT AND WILL WE SEE A
LOT OF REPUBLICANS WHO OTHERWISE
WOULD HAVE SAT BACK AND DONE
NOTHING VOTING BECAUSE OF
KAVANAUGH?
>> I THINK THAT IS WHAT WE
ARE SEEING IN MANY BUT NOT ALL
OF THE POLLS.
MIDTERM ELECTIONS TEND TO BE
MORE ABOUT TURNOUT THEN ABOUT
PERSUASION.
THE EVIDENCE THAT I HAVE SEEN
SUGGESTS THAT SINCE THE
CONFIRMATION, REPUBLICANS HAVE
ONLY GOTTEN MORE INTERESTED.
DEMOCRATS HAVE ALSO REMAINED
INTERESTED.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AND NBC
POLLS, THE LEVELS WERE PRETTY
CLOSE IN ENTHUSIASM.
>> WHAT ABOUT THE ISSUE OF
RACE?
MANY ARGUED THAT TRUMP WAS ONLY
ABLE TO WIN BECAUSE BLACK VOTERS
STAYED HOME.
OBAMA WAS VIEWED AS AN ICON AND
THEN HE DID NOT DO MUCH FOR
THEM.
DO YOU SEE BLACK VOTERS AS
ENERGIZED?
>> THERE IS SOME
EVIDENCE IN THE POLLS
THAT THEY HAVE BECOME ENERGIZED.
CLEARLY, UNLESS WE ARE MISSING
OUR GUESS, THERE STILL WILL
PROBABLY BE A GAP IN MINORITY
TURNOUT VERSUS MAJORITY WHITE
TURNOUT.
>> HAS TRUMP'S APPROVAL RATING
IMPROVED SINCE KAVANAUGH'S
CONFIRMATION?
>> THERE ARE SOME POLLS THAT
HAVE IT LOWER.
I THINK HE HAS MARGINALLY
IMPROVED AND IS IN A POSITION TO
DO MORE GOOD FOR THE REPUBLICANS
AS ELECTION DAY APPROACHES.
>> WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS OF
HIS BASE?
WHERE HAS HE GAINED APPROVAL?
WHAT AREAS OF THE ELECTORATE?
>> HE HAS SEEN SOME AREAS OF
IMPROVEMENT WITH YOUNGER
PEOPLE AND SOME IMPROVEMENT WITH
WOMEN.
THE GENDER GAP IS AS BIG AS
ANYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN.
PUT ANOTHER WAY, THE ECONOMY
PRIOR TO THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS
OR WEEKS, THE STOCK MARKET HAS
BEEN SO GOOD FOR SO LONG, ONE OF
THE PROBLEMS THE REPUBLICANS
HAVE IS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ALL THE
GOOD NEWS THAT HAS BEEN
GENERATED.
>> WHAT ABOUT THE SCANDALS?
NOTHING SEEMS TO STICK TO HIM.
HIS DISPARAGING COMMENTS ABOUT
WOMEN NO LESS.
CALLING STORMY DANIELS, HORSE
FACE.
ISN'T THIS A HUGE
TURNOFF TO WOMEN?
>> OBVIOUSLY IT IS BECAUSE
THERE IS A 30 POINT GENDER GAP.
IS THIS GOING TO ENGENDER MORE
MOVEMENT TO THE DEMOCRATS?
NOT SO SURE.
STUFF JUST DOES NOT STICK TO
TRUMP.
>> WHY IS THAT?
>> I THINK HE IS SO OUT
THERE.
YOU HAVE A SENSE OF HIM AS EVERY
MAN.
HIS FLAWS AND STRENGTHS IN PLAIN
RELIEF.
>> HE IS OLIVER CROMWELL,
WARTS AND ALL.
WHAT ABOUT HIS FOREIGN POLICY?
THAT IS NOTHING TO WRITE HOME
ABOUT.
DO YOU SEE THAT AS INFLUENCING
THE ELECTION?
>> I DO SEE IT AS INCOHERENT.
I AM VERY SCARED ABOUT WHAT IS
HAPPENING ON THE KOREAN
PENINSULA.
I HAVE NO SENSE THAT THE NORTH
KOREANS ARE DOING ANYTHING OTHER
THAN FLATTERING DONALD TRUMP.
I WORRY ABOUT OUR NATO ALLIANCE
FRAYING.
I WORRY ABOUT OUR PULLING OUT OF
THE INTERMEDIATE RANGE NUCLEAR
WEAPONS AGREEMENT,
THAT IT WILL PRODUCE ANOTHER
ARMS RACE.
I THINK HOW WE HAVE HANDLED
MEXICO AND CANADA LEAVES MUCH TO
BE DESIRED.
>> CHINA AND THE TRADE WAR
MAY BRING DOWN THE U.S. ECONOMY.
>> IT COULD BRING DOWN OUR
ECONOMY AND THEIR ECONOMY.
IT COULD UNDERMINE OUR POSITION
IN ASIA.
I DO NOT THINK ANY OF THIS WILL
COME TO FRUITION ENOUGH TO
IMPACT THE HOUSE AND SENATE
ELECTIONS.
BY 2020, I AM PRETTY SURE WE
WILL HAVE A GREATER SENSE OF ITS
PRECISE IMPACT ON THE WORLD AND
ITS IMPACT ON THE PRESIDENTIAL.
>> LET'S LOOK AHEAD.
THIS IS ASKING YOU TO BE NOT
ONLY A FORECASTER BUT A
GRAND VIZIER.
WHAT DO YOU SEE
IS HAPPENING IN 2020?
>> THERE ARE A COUPLE OF
CAVEATS.
UNLESS BOB MUELLER IS ABLE TO
PIN ON DONALD TRUMP PERSONALLY
ELEMENTS OF SPECIFIC COLLUSION
WITH THE RUSSIANS, I THINK HE
WILL GET THROUGH WHATEVER
HAPPENS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE
WITH 15 OR 20 DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES POTENTIALLY.
I THINK THAT DONALD TRUMP WILL
HAVE A FIELD DAY ATTACKING ALL
OF THE DEMOCRATS.
>> FROM POCAHONTAS TO BERNIE
SANDERS.
>> AS WE SIT HERE TODAY, I
MAKE THE CLEAR PREDICTION THAT
IF THERE IS NO PROOF OF
COLLUSION, WHEN YOU ARE
HOPEFULLY KIND ENOUGH TO HAVE ME
BACK, WE WILL BE TALKING TWO
WEEKS OUT FROM THE ELECTION IN
2020 HOW DONALD TRUMP IS THE
PROHIBITIVE FAVORITE FOR
REELECTION.
>> WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE BIG
ISSUE FOR DEMOCRATS?
IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING OTHER
THAN I AM NOT TRUMP.
WHAT COULD IT BE?
THEY HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING MORE.
>> HOW ABOUT THE LEVEL OF
UNCERTAINTY IN OUR WORLD, THE
UNCERTAINTY IN OUR ECONOMY, THE
UNCERTAINTY IN HOW OUR SYSTEM
WORKS, THE LACK OF STABILITY,
PREDICTABILITY, CERTAINTY.
I THINK THAT IS A GOOD START.
I THINK WE WILL HAVE EVIDENCE
DOMESTICALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY
TO SUPPORT THAT.
WHAT WE DO NOT HAVE IS A
CANDIDATE.
>> WHO DO YOU SEE AS THE BEST
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE?
>> I WILL TELL YOU WHAT THE
POLLS SAY.
I HAVE AN EMOTIONAL AFFECTION
FOR AND DESIRE TO HELP MICHAEL
BLOOMBERG, OUR MUTUAL FRIEND.
WHAT THE POLLS SAY IS THAT JOE
BIDEN IS THE OVERARCHING FRONT
RUNNER.
>> YOU DO NOT SEE HIM AS TOO
OLD?
>> HE WILL BE 78 AND
DONALD TRUMP WILL BE 73, I THINK
THE AGE GAP WILL BE MINIMIZED.
>> YOU DO NOT THINK THAT HE
WILL BE VIEWED AS A HAS-BEEN AND
MORE OF THE SAME?
>> I THINK THAT COULD COME
UP.
AT THIS POINT, HE HAS A 20 POINT
LEAD.
HE SPEAKS TO WORKING-CLASS
VOTERS.
I THINK HE HAS A COMMON TOUCH
PARTICULARLY WITH MIDDLE AMERICA
THAT SECRETARY CLINTON LACKED.
>> WHAT ABOUT A WOMAN ON THE
DEMOCRATIC TICKET?
>> I THINK WE WILL SEE THAT.
I THINK WE WILL SEE IT ON THE
REPUBLICAN TICKET AS WELL.
>> WHO'D YOU SEE IT ON THE
DEMOCRATIC TICKET?
>> GILLIBRAND AS A POTENTIAL
CANDIDATE, KAMALA HARRIS,
ELIZABETH WARREN.
AMY KLOBUCHAR.
>> ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE?
NIKKI HALEY?
>> ANOTHER PREDICTION.
I THINK THAT MIKE PENCE WILL GO
OFF AND THEY WILL PUT NIKKI
HALEY ON THE TICKET.
THAT IS WHAT I'M SAYING.
>> HOW CAN THEY DEMOTE MIKE
PENCE?
>> I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY WILL
DEMOTE HIM OR PUT THEM OUT TO
PASTURE.
>> JANUARY, WILL WE SEE A
DEMOCRATIC HOUSE AND A
REPUBLICAN SENATE OR SOMETHING
ELSE?
>> WE WILL SEE A DEMOCRATIC
HOUSE, A REPUBLICAN SENATE, WE
WILL HAVE DIVIDED GOVERNMENT,
POLARIZATION, HEARINGS ON
IMPEACHMENT, AND CANDIDLY,
SOMETHING WORSE THAN WHAT WE
HAVE AND THE BEST CASE IS
MORE OF THE SAME.
I'M AS DEPRESSED AS YOU ARE AND
PLEASED THAT I AM HERE.
>> THANK YOU FOR COMING BY.
YOU ARE ALWAYS A BREATH OF FRESH
AIR.
AND THANK YOU FOR COMING BY.
TUNE IN NEXT WEEK FOR MORE
CONVERSATIONS.
TAKE CARE AND ALL THE BEST.

Rick Pitino Hoping to Become Candidate for NBA Head-Coaching Job - Duration: 3:03.
Rick Pitino Hoping to Become Candidate for NBA Head-Coaching Job
Ex-Louisville coach Rick Pitino told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that he is studying the pro game and hoping to become a candidate for an NBA head-coaching job soon:.
"I just want to be a part of an organization.
I want to develop young players.
I want to be part of a team.
I miss it terribly.
I'm using this time to really study the NBA.
If something opens up with a young basketball team, I'd have deep interest in it.
"I think the league is going to get younger and player development will become even more important to every organization.
That's my forte.
I believe I can help an organization find a pathway to success.".
Pitino was fired from Louisville amid an FBI probe into college basketball and in the aftermath of an investigation into the use of strippers and prostitutes in recruiting visits.
According to Wojnarowski, who has spoke to multiple GMs, Pitino may struggle to find a position:.
In all likelihood, Pitino has a bigger obstacle to returning to the NBA than NCAA failings: convincing league executives and owners that his ego would allow him to be a willing partner with a front office.
Many GMs say that they'd be hesitant to hire Pitino based on the belief that he'd be difficult to coexist with, especially in the turbulence of a rebuild.
In six prior seasons as an NBA head coach (1987-89, 1997-2001), Pitino posted an overall record of 192-220.
