i'm ali velshi. a political kaleidoscope, that's the take from nbc's senior political editor just one day out from an historic midterm election. that's because there's a potential path to victory for both parties. we are in the final hours, which means a last-minute push from all sides from the 2018 candidates to the president, all hoping to energize voters to get out the vote. president trump is about to speak -- i think he's just started speaking at one of three campaign stops today. once again, all in trump-friendly territory. his predecessor, former president barack obama, hit the trail in fairfax, virginia, for a rally. his message, as we've heard before, is don't boo, vote. early voting totals have already far outpaced 2014's midterms. 35 million people have already cast their early or absentee ballots. whether you cast your vote early or you vote like i will early tomorrow, every single vote counts. here's what's at stake. right now the current senate makeup, 51 republicans, 47 democrats, 2 in

while we sell operating ali and why can't we deal with this because ali is dead. that's the reason that he thought that anymore. he can talk the last 30 years so it wasn't as though he was indicting anyone in the present and i think it's the same thing with jackie robinson. later my son to go see 42 and i live out in northampton and so we go to cinema and hadley and we were watching the movie and only two black kids in the movie audience and everyone is laughing at this cartoonish racism and they're all laughing at all the stuff because it's so preposterous and i'm looking around and looking at everybody and say these are your relatives and this is not a remarkable position that they were taking back and that's the common position. it's one thing to indict the past and look at the mirror and that's the difference with kelly cap next was not indicting the past but looking at our current police force looking at our current system and looking at you and looking at everyone and saying it was unacceptable to you who have friends or relatives on the police force. where

ali. mr. ali: thank you, mr. chief justice. i just want to really make one point maybe with two parts, responding to the united states' suggestion that really we're dealing here with a formalistic or symbolic appeal. and i just want to do it on the context of this record and the real practical consequences this could have for mr. garza. as we note on page 32 of our opening brief, mr. garza here has a very colorable, i think meritorious claim, that his appeal waiver was involuntary. he was not waiving his right to appeal going into plea hearings neither of which required as required under state law under rule 11 into whether he was waiving his right to appeal and then being advised three times in the -- once in the hearing and twice in judgment that he had a right to appeal. and i just want to note that that claim could not be raised on postconviction. justice alito, you asked if he was raised and dealt with? the answer is no. the pages you referred to by the state, the district court says i do not understand mr. garza to be cha

ali? >> obviously, people at these rallies decided to vote for stacey abrams and you talked to people who said they voted already in early voting. april being there creates a buzz unlike anybody else being there. how does that translate? does that translate through local media coverage and is that how it is going to get the message out to georgians? >> it certainly is the talk of the town and definitely a lot of media folks here to cover it. but her point really, the people in that room have probably already decided they're voting for abrams. oprah's job is to actually get them to go to the polls. we found some people who said i plan to vote next week on election day. probably after hearing from oprah today they're going to leave this event and go right to the polls to early vote. i think it just urges people that extra step. i don't know if she's convincing anybody to change their vote, but she's certainly a big motivater. >> catie for us in decatur, georgia. >>> oprah is not the only hea

i'm ali velshi. stephanie is off today. let's get smarter. >> president trump's gut, his gut tells him more than anybody else's brain. that is just one of several new declarations by the president in a wide ranging interview with "the washington post." the president points his finger squarely at the man he chose to lead the federal reserve calling the fed his biggest threat. >> he said i'm not even a little bit happy with his choice of jay, jay being jerome powell. >> as always, the decisions will be designed to keep the economy on track, in light of the changing outlook for jobs and inflation. >> about a meeting with putin at the g20 meeting to take place in argentina and he said this. quote, maybe i won't have the meeting. maybe i won't even have the meeting. we're going to see. >> he did not like the aggression that he saw in the black sea over the weekend. >> the president is again questioning the agency's high confidence assessment of the crown prince ordered khashoggi's murder telling "the washington post" maybe he di

again, ali, early voting totals here through the roof. they were up 140% from what the midterms were in 2014, just to give you an idea, how much excitement surrounds this race. >> katie beck in marietta. i think that's the point that people will cover oprah in a way so it's not for the people who were there. i think everybody katie meets that the rally already voted or is votinging for stacey abrams. that level of star power i think makes a difference think you're right, people go to rallies -- >> if you go to a rally, you are engaged. okay, coming up next, five days from the midterms, president trump is making big claims about the economy, including saying the stock market has boosted retirement plans. that's not entirely true. nearly half of all americans do not have a retirement plan or one that's tied to the stock market. more than half of americans don't have stocks. we're going to break down trump's latest statement on how the ghi is affecting you. you're watching velshi and ruehl live on msnbc. you're in the business of helping peo

iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei is slamming u.s. president donald trump after the u.s. announced it would reinstate all sanctions against iran khamenei said the u.s. would be the ultimate user over its decision and says the world disagrees with trump's decision to pull out of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal the renewed restrictions on monday after having been lifted for the past three years the extensive sanctions will curtail iranian oil sales exports and shipping industries as well as cut the country all from international lenders and foreign business partners. when i joined by the guardian's iran correspondent saeed kamali dechen thank you for joining us aid so the u.s. says that these sanctions are aimed at the government and not the ukrainian people is it going to work this way. i mean this sanctions let me be very clear the sanctions target everyone inside iran is sanctions talk at townsend's of patients in need of life there in that sense and as you found out yesterday or indeed there is no exemption i mean of course sanctions are not directly targeted at medicin

>> i think they have overplayed the hand, ali. of course, we already saw in congress a huge ground swell of opposition to the yemen war before this assassination of khashoggi, jamal khashoggi, the journalist but then trying to cover it up and getting the president complicit they have gone too far and numerous countries, germany, said no more arms sales. >> thanks to both of you. >>> it's almost time for the senate runoff in mississippi. polls show her in the lead despite comment that is she'd attend a hanging. and that suppressing democrats from voting would be a good thing. what is going on in mississippi? we'll find out after this. g, a little bit of water, it really- it rocked our world. i had no idea the amount of damage that water could do. we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you? they were on it. it was unbelievable. having insurance is something everyone needs, but having usaa- now that's a privilege. we're the baker's and we're usaa members for life. usaa. get your insurance quote

that is the same thing that happened to mohammed ali. they say that all the time. there is a shot that always happens when an athlete opens his or her mouth. unless you had one of those moments of national transformations where they became an american. we have the solitary moments of acceptance. but every single time i think someone have said that not forget about june of 2016. there was not a big gap there. i think it's a same thing with jackie robinson. we sat there and i live out in north hampton. we are watching the movie. and two black kids in the audience. in your listening. and everybody is laughing at this cartoonish racism. it's so preposterous and i'm looking around in the dark. these are your relatives. this is not a remarkable position that they were taken back then. he was not indicting the past. he was looking at our current police force in the system. looking at everybody. they are talking about uncles and grandparents. from 75 years ago. that is the biggest difference. you are looking at this from an indictment standpoint. they know that he was ulti

iran's supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, has launched a blistering attack on president trump ahead of the united states reimposing sanctions on the country's economy. they're due to take effect on monday. more from the bbc‘s middle east analyst, sebastian usher. as the hours tick away to the reimposition of sweeping us sanctions on iran, the rhetoric from the country's supreme leader has been predictably fiery and defiant. translation: the us is much weaker today than it was a0 years ago when the 1979 revolution was victorious. the power of the us is on the decline. this is the important point. most of the world's politicians and global affair analysts believe that the us‘s soft power is worn out. it is being destroyed. president trump himself was singled out by ayatollah khamenei, who described him as bringing disgrace on his country and to the very notion of liberal democracy. certainly, mr trump's aim from the moment he pulled the us out of the nuclear deal has been to exert maximum pressure on iran, notjust to curtail what he sees as its continuing quest for nuclear weapons

a ali velshi, thank you as well. peter alexander, thank you also for rushing to a it camera. >>> meanwhile in washington, a new e-mail scandal is dominating the news cycle. and no, this one has nothing to do with hillary clinton. according to "the washington post," ivanka trump sent hundreds of e-mails last year to white house aides, cabinet officials, and her assistantis s using a personal account. many of them in violation of federal records rules, according to people familiar with the white house examination of her correspondence. yes, you heard that correctly. ivanka trump used her private e-mail for white house business. does that sound familiar? i bet it does. after all, president trump ran a winning campaign on that very issue, calling for hillary clinton, his opponent in the campaign, to potentially even be jailed for using her own private e-mail for government business while she was secretary of state. so why did his daughter, ivanka trump, do it herself? surely she remembers the "lock her up" chants at dona

let's go do ali velshi. take us to the board and walk us through it. >> you will see it for a few days. the dems need 23 seats to control the house of representatives. now, that means they might lose or gain some and a net gain of 23 in order to control the house. a net gain of two to control the senate. this is possible. likelihood is lower than the likelihood of this. these states here are what democrats are targeting. these are republican-held seats. all across the country. push into this a little bit to see all of these yellow districts are independent house districts that are in play. these are places that democrats want to take from republicans and think that they're in a position to do so. so this is key. now, as you can see, they need 23. i think we are looking at close to 60 here. so the democrats, if they do very, very, very well on tuesday they may take more of these. however, there are some districts that republicans are targeting that democrats are in control of at the moment. there are 11 seats
