THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
[08:30:00] COREY LEWANDOWSKI, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Like Barack Obama but I'm going to hold my nose and do it because the other guy's so much worse. And what the negativity campaign is working on right now is any of those undecided voters, that small group that are going to ultimately make the decision of who's going to be the next president of the United States in 11 to 13 battleground states, if you can convince them that the other person is worse than you and they break your way, you're going to win the election.
Look at those states that still don't have early voting. States like New Hampshire. States like Pennsylvania. Today we see Donald Trump is up on the Real Clear Average one and a half points. Very close. But if you can continue to drive the other person's negatives, it gives you a better chance to win on Election Day.
CHRIS CUOMO, CNN ANCHOR: All right, and yet here I am being the hypocrite saying I think it's wrong, I think it's wrong. So why don't we live our own truth.
Let's end this segment this way. Van, I start with you. Do not tell me what's wrong with Donald Trump. We do enough of that. Tell me what is right with Hillary Clinton. Why should these undecided voters that Corey's talking about, to the extent they exist, why is Hillary Clinton the choice?
VAN JONES, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Because it turns out that government is hard. It is very hard. I've had the great honor to work in the White House, and it is very hard to get the machinery of government to move. It's -- you're not turning one battleship, you're turning a million to get one thing done.
She has the experience. And I tell you, if you were going to send your kid in for surgery and you had an experienced surgeon that you didn't like and somebody who says, hey, I'm a great plumber, give me a chance, you would give the experience the shot and you'd need somebody who knows how to make this thing work, and she's that person.
CUOMO: Corey.
LEWANDOWSKI: Look, I think this election is about change and Donald Trump is not beholden to any special interests. And what he's going to do is go to Washington and work for the American people. He's not bought and paid for by anybody because he's funded a huge part of his own campaign. And if you truly want to change the way the country operates and know that we can put it in a different direction, a new direction, the right track, then Donald Trump will go there and not be beholden to those special interests and do what is only right for the American people. And I think we deserve that in a president.
CUOMO: Corey, Van, thank you for staying positive, at least for that one blow. Appreciate it.
LEWANDOWSKY: Thank you.
CUOMO: All right, now, Election Day is going to be huge. We do not know what's going to happen, but we know this, we will be on every race, and every tabulation for you like nobody else will. We hope to see you all day long.
Alisyn.
ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN ANCHOR: OK, some breaking news coming up. The final jobs report before the election just came out. The numbers and the potential impact on Tuesday's election, next.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
[08:36:13] CAMEROTA: We do have some breaking news for you right now. The Labor Department just releasing the jobs report for October. This came out moments ago. This is the final look at how the U.S. economy is doing before Election Day.
So let's get right to CNN Money chief business correspondent and "Early start" anchor Christine Romans.
What are you seeing in the numbers?
CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN MONEY CHIEF BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT: Hi there.
Well, I see 161,000 net new jobs created in the month. This is a solid -- another solid month of hiring, the 73rd consecutive month of hiring in this country after that horrible financial crisis in 2008-2009. The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.9 percent. Really key here you guys, wage growth. How many times have we talked about how sure jobs are coming back but the pay raises aren't there and the pay is not there. You can see wage growth at 2.8 percent. That's getting healthier. And that could be one of those things that signals the Federal Reserve is finally ready to raise interest rates in December, at its next meeting.
Let me show you the unemployment rate because 4.9 percent is a number that is less than half of what we saw at the peak. Again, this is that terrible part of the financial crisis when we had 10 percent unemployment. You see the steady decline in the unemployment rate there, now to below 5 percent.
We still have about the same number of people who are on the sidelines who would like to work but maybe aren't even looking. That number is about the same this month. Here's where we are seeing the hiring, guys, health care. This has
been years of health care jobs growth. This is a part of the economy that's booming. Business information services, these tend to be tech jobs, office jobs, management jobs. These are higher paid jobs. And financial services, we saw 14,000 jobs created there.
Remember Hurricane Matthew? The Labor Department is saying that might have skewed the numbers a little bit, may have actually held back the numbers a little bit in the end. So we'll look to see next month if maybe there's a little bit of rebound there.
I suspect you're going to hear both candidates talking about these numbers. Donald Trump has called numbers like this "anemic." He would like to see more. He really focuses on the people who are sidelined out of the economy. Hillary Clinton, today, I think you'll hear her in Pittsburgh talking about women and she'll be talking about how women need better wages, need gender parity for wages. About two-thirds of minimum wage jobs are held by women. So I bet you'll hear her talking about raising the minimum wage today as part of her prescription for getting the jobs market to work for everyone, you guys.
CAMEROTA: OK, Christine, thanks so much for bring us all of that breaking news.
ROMANS: You're welcome.
CUOMO: Good for you, Romans, pure info and perspective. The question now is, how will the campaigns use it? This is going to be a big deal, especially for people voting their pocketbook on Tuesday.
CNN political director David Chalian, here with "The Bottom Line."
What do you see, brother Chalian?
DAVID CHALIAN, CNN POLITICAL DIRECTOR: Well, that's really good news for Hillary Clinton, obviously. But two things to remember here. One, Donald Trump still, in our most recent polling across the battleground states, is winning the issue of the economy. He is seen as better able to handle the economy, and that is the number one issue. So this -- this good report, the way things are going, unemployment ticking down, this is good news for Hillary Clinton.
But also remember the other piece of why it's good news for Hillary Clinton. This is Barack Obama's economy, guys. He's at 55 percent approval. Far better than Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. The last poll we took nationally showed that 54 percent of the country thinks things are going well in the country. That's the highest of the Obama presidency. That included 51 percent of independents.
So this continues to feed into that narrative. And if you're Hillary Clinton and seeking to continue some of those policies, you're going to get folks to rally around that cause.
CAMEROTA: OK. So, David, tell us what you see on your map. We love the video game where you pop up different states and show us the path to 270. CHALIAN: So we're looking to see -- Donald Trump still has a narrow
270. And it is really a narrow one, but there are a couple different ways to look at it. So, again, this is the current battleground map. These yellow states are the toss-ups. If we were to give Donald Trump all the remaining battleground states, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, that only gets him to 265. If he then flips New Hampshire, that gets him one away, guys. And then this one congressional district up in Maine would be his 270th electoral vote if he can win that one congressional district.
[08:40:11] This is sort of the no margin for error path. But he also has another path. Take a look here. He can go through the Midwest here, the rust belt. Look at where Hillary Clinton's campaigning today. Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania. She understands Donald Trump is still looking at this path. Here, he doesn't need all the remaining toss-ups. Let's say he hangs on to Utah and Arizona and he wins Florida and Ohio. But let's give Hillary Clinton North Carolina and Nevada. She's still there at 293. She's won the presidency here. But now go to this rust belt region. If Donald Trump can flip a Michigan and a Wisconsin, that gets him to 270. Pennsylvania. If he can get two of those three, which is a mighty steep climb for him still, two of those three, he's on his way to the presidency.
CAMEROTA: And do the polls suggest that he can do that rust belt, that blue area?
CHALIAN: Not really. The most recent poll out of Wisconsin we showed, Hillary Clinton had a six-point lead there, Alisyn. Michigan still leaning in Hillary Clinton's direction. Pennsylvania has showed a more narrow margin for Hillary Clinton, about a four-point lead there right now. You're going to see Donald Trump there a few times. Hillary Clinton, a few times.
Remember, Pennsylvania doesn't have a lot of early vote. It's almost entirely Election Day vote. So Pennsylvania and New Hampshire are going to get a ton of candidate attention right now because their voters mostly vote on Election Day.
CUOMO: And you say mostly because while they don't have early voting, they have the absentees?
CHALIAN: Yes.
CUOMO: All right. So that allows it.
So, at this point, four days out, where are you focused? Right, because as we get closer to the day, you start looking at less and less things and more and more things more intently. So where are you?
CHALIAN: I'm really focused on North Carolina and Florida. I think those two states are the ones to watch. I know that doesn't surprise many people. Florida, in our poll of polls, dead heat, 45 percent to 45 percent. Hillary Clinton, a slight edge in our poll of polls in North Carolina. But this is critical. Donald Trump really, I mean I showed you one path here where it doesn't work this way, but he really needs North Carolina and Florida if he's going to have a clean shot at 270. And I think just watch those two states and see what happens to them on Tuesday night and you'll know the answer.
CAMEROTA: Well, sort of, David, except what if she wins North Carolina and he wins Florida or vice versa? Then is it still over? Or is the -- do we have to watch the next dominoes fall?
CHALIAN: I f they split these states, if Hillary Clinton wins North Carolina, as you just said, I -- I think that would pretty significantly block Donald Trump, except for this rust belt route. But you just asked me about the polling here, I mean this is a long shot to give these states red. These really are blue leaning states right now, Michigan and Wisconsin. So if he doesn't have North Carolina, guys, that is going to be a significant roadblock. You --
CAMEROTA: OK.
CHALIAN: Yes.
CAMEROTA: But what if he does have North Carolina?
CHALIAN: Well, you know, then we go back to, look, this -- if he has North Carolina, if he can win Nevada, this is going back to sweeping all the remaining toss-up states, then he's got to flip New Hampshire and then he's in the hunt.
CUOMO: See, one of the things that we've been learning to do is, you have this straight map, and I get that's why North Carolina and Florida being equal on some level doesn't make sense. Florida has almost twice as many electorates. But it's about what they're predictive of. So if you win North Carolina, that tends to mean something about how other races are going. So it's not just the math, it's also the metaphor effect of what one state means in relation to others, right?
CHALIAN: Without a doubt, Chris. And, in fact, I think if you're in North Carolina, look to a place maybe like Colorado where there are other white college educated voters that have been with Hillary Clinton in this race, which is a reversal from what we've seen in the past, maybe something's happening there on Election Day that we weren't anticipating. So I would -- you are right, the demographic makeup of these states do matter.
CAMEROTA: See, David does not have the names of the states on that map. That's how good he is. He's just hitting all sorts of buttons. And he's right.
David --
CUOMO: I thought that was Europe when it first popped up.
CAMEROTA: Well, you have called us (ph) Europe (ph).
David, thank you very much.
This election has turned into, in some ways, a referendum on the treatment of women and whether or not it's a sexist election or it's a feminist election. So, how could Tuesday's result impact women in politics going forward? We talk about that, as well as Melania trump, next.
CUOMO: And voting is underway right now, not just for the election, but the election of the Hero of the Year. Here's a peek at one of CNN's Year's top ten heroes. OK, her name is Becca Stevens. Remember, you get to vote at cnnheroes.com. Please go there and do so. Now take a look.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
BECCA STEVENS, CNN HERO: All I wanted to do was open one house and invite five women to come in who all had been survivors of trafficking diction, prostitution and say, come stay for two years, no cost, no authority in the house, just come be together. So when a woman comes in, we give her a key. This is your beautiful home. This is your place to be. That's the mind-set. And the idea is that it can be lavish and economical. You can do all this and you can house people for half of what it costs to house them in prison for a year.
[08:45:22] It started with residential communities. It moved into social enterprise because we understood that while women were doing amazing work, they were still dirt poor. On average, for the last 20 years, for the women that we serve, the first sexual assault is between the ages of seven and 11 years old. Those stories used to undo me, they're so horrific. And the global issues of human trafficking are so big it doesn't have to be the end of the story. It's a big part of the story, but it's not the end. It's just a chapter in it.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
[08:49:59] CAMEROTA: Top surrogates crisscrossing the nation for Clinton and Trump. Melania Trump made a rare campaign appearance yesterday, revealing what she would focus on as first lady.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MELANIA TRUMP, DONALD TRUMP'S WIFE: Our culture has gotten too mean and too rough, especially to children and teenagers.
We have to find a better way to talk to each other, to disagree with each other, to respect each other. We must find better ways to honor and support the basic goodness of our children, especially in social media.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CAMEROTA: Joining us now to talk about this, Angela Rye, CNN political commentator and former executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus, and Kayleigh McEnany, CNN political commentator and Trump supporter.
Ladies, thanks so much for being here.
ANGELA RYE, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Thank you. CAMEROTA: Kayleigh, I will start with you. I know that you tweeted out great speech by Melania. She hit it out of the park. And, obviously, this is a great topic to focus on. Everybody, I thinks, thinks that this has gotten -- the level of vitriol and nastiness has reached sort of this unprecedented level. But what do you think about all of the people who today are saying, maybe Donald Trump should look in the mirror. Maybe she should focus this at Donald Trump and his attacks on people.
KAYLEIGH MCENANY, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Well, I would echo what Van Jones said last night, which is, you know, let's not use this moment to tear Melania Trump down for wanting to do good. Let's praise someone who wants to do good when they go out and try to put forth a good platform. And I think, you know, the Clintons will learn from our first lady when she gets into office because Monica Lewinsky also happened to make cyber bullying her cause because of the Clintons, because she was called a narcissistic loony tune by Hillary Clinton --
CAMEROTA: In private.
MCENANY: And was on the verge of suicide because of the things that were said about her and the way she was maligned by the Clintons.
CAMEROTA: Look, listen, Monica Lewinsky certainly went through the crucible of public scrutiny.
MCENANY: Sure.
CAMEROTA: And she's come out the other side with a cause.
But this isn't about Melania doing something wrong. This is about the campaign, about questioning the Trump campaign and saying, are they aware that there's irony here that their candidate is the one who's lobbed all of these Twitter missiles?
RYE: Absolutely.
MCENANY: Look, I think it's very different when you call someone low energy Jeb and you punch someone who punches you back. We can have that -- that's a separate conversation. That's very different than cyber bullying and teenage girls like Monica Lewinsky who were on the verge of suicide because of the hate they got from anonymous individuals on Twitter.
CAMEROTA: Well --
MCENANY: I think those are very different issues.
CAMEROTA: I think the people who are insulted on Twitter do feel badly. He did more than just say "low energy." Here are some examples.
RYE: Absolutely.
CAMEROTA: He went after women. He's obviously focused on their looks a lot. Here it is for Arianna Huffington. "Arianna Huffington is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man. He made a good decision."
RYE: (INAUDIBLE).
CAMEROTA: That's Donald Trump bringing up her own personal past. I mean, that's nasty, right?
MCENANY: Look, I don't agree with everything he's said in the past, but we have two candidates on the ballot. We have one under criminal FBI investigation. Not one FBI investigation but two.
RYE: It's not -- it's not --
CAMEROTA: But we're --
RYE: It's not -- it's not true, Kayleigh.
CAMEROTA: I understand --
MCENANY: The criminal -- the criminal -- I know we don't want to talk about it on the networks --
RYE: But that's not true.
MCENANY: But we have to talk about two criminal FBI investigations.
CAMEROTA: Oh, my goodness. First of all -- OK, hold on.
RYE: It's not true.
MCENANY: Two. We haven't talked about the Clinton Foundation criminal FBI investigation.
RYE: That's not true.
MCENANY: You have a choice (ph). You have someone who said --
CAMEROTA: (INAUDIBLE) --
MCENANY: It is true. It is true.
RYE: It's not true, Kayleigh.
MCENANY: It's being reported widespread.
RYE: That's -- no, it's been reported in Breitbart and Dredge. That's not true.
MCENANY: It is absolutely.
CAMEROTA: I feel that your -- but, also, Kayleigh, that's not what this segment is about. This segment is about Melania Trump's speech. I mean I know you're pivoting away to try to bring up something nasty about the Clintons, but I'm just curious about the campaign and why they don't think the next day we would say, here's exhibit a, b and c of his nasty tweets.
MCENANY: Voters --
CAMEROTA: What's the strategy there?
MCENANY: Voters have a choice. They have a choice between someone who might have gone too far and said something off color on Twitter, or someone who's under criminal investigation --
RYE: (INAUDIBLE).
MCENANY: By the FBI and other media outlets are reporting is --
RYE: That's not true, Kayleigh.
MCENANY: Will likely be indicted when she becomes president.
RYE: That's not true.
CAMEROTA: (INAUDIBLE) president.
RYE: Alisyn, can I please spar here?
CAMEROTA: Go ahead, Angela. Go ahead.
RYE: OK. So, first, I'm not even going to respond any more than saying, there is no criminal investigation of the Clinton Foundation.
MCENANY: Yes, there is, Angela.
RYE: No, there's not.
MCENANY: Yes, there is.
RYE: Of the Clinton -- well, just a minute, Kayleigh, because you talked for quite a bit. We are still friends, but I disagree with you vehemently on this because this is -- this is an election --
MCENANY: (INAUDIBLE) --
CAMEROTA: Give Angela -- go ahead, Angela. (INAUDIBLE), let Angela make her point. Go ahead.
RYE: This is not true about the foundation or about -- there is no criminal investigation.
MCENANY: Yes, there is.
RYE: So let's stop there. No.
Now about the bullying. Your candidate has gone way further than e- bullying. He has done it in person. He has talked about paying the legal fees of a white man who punched a black man at a rally, in the face, like this is -- this is not about someone who may have just accidentally retweeted something. I remember us having a conversation on air about what he did to malign Heidi Cruz. This is someone who has been vicious. He called Rosie O'Donnell a fat pig. He talked bad about Megyn Kelly, calling her a bimbo. This is not just -- CAMEROTA: Yes.
RYE: You know, harmless, you know, off the cuff speech --
MCENANY: Angela --
CAMEROTA: Hold on. Hold on. And on that topic, just on that topic of his Twitter missiles, do you -- how are you comfortable with it?
MCENANY: Look, because you have a choice between someone who committed criminal acts. And, Angela, I have to dispel this myth --
(CROSS TALK)
MCENANY: Because I hope you -- go back and watch Anderson Cooper's show from three nights ago where Tom Fuentes sat on the set saying the criminal investigation has been reopened and our own legal correspondent confirmed that.
RYE: It's not -- it's not --
CAMEROTA: That --
MCENANY: Maybe you disagree with the reporting of CNN, but you can't come on here and act like a fact's not a fact.
[08:55:01] CAMEROTA: There's all sorts of semantics about whether or not it was officially closed. The --
RYE: You say that all the time, Kayleigh, but --
CAMEROTA: Look, the FBI, as we know, is looking into things on the Trump side and on the Clinton side. These are facts.
MCENANY: Not -- no.
CAMEROTA: The FBI is looking into things on the Trump --
MCENANY: OK, and it -- it was -- it was reported --
RYE: This was supposed to be about bullying.
MCENANY: It was reported by "The Wall Street Journal" that the only reason the FBI looked into the Russian ties with Trump is because it was at the urging of Clinton supporters. That is a fact.
CAMEROTA: OK.
MCENANY: There's one candidate here who (INAUDIBLE).
RYE: But this is about bullying (ph).
CAMEROTA: But just to be clear, Kayleigh, just so I know what you're saying, that you're comfortable with the nasty things that Mr. Trump has put out on Twitter because you're just saying that he's just a better candidate? So that's how you've reconcile it? MCENANY: I don't -- I disagree with some of the things he said, but
you have a choice between someone who jeopardized national security and someone who said off color things on Twitter.
RYE: Not true either.
MCENANY: It's a binary choice and I'm going to choose the one who didn't commit criminal acts.
CAMEROTA: OK.
RYE: Alisyn, can I just --
CAMEROTA: Go ahead, Angela. Yes.
RYE: I just -- I just want to say this really quickly. And this is a perfect example of what leadership does and why Kelly Ayotte stumbled on the answer about whether Donald Trump was a role model. When you look at what happened with Harvard's soccer team, the fact that they were women, something that Donald Trump admitted to doing, he'd been recorded doing it. They rated women and now the rest of their soccer season is canceled. I rode in the car with an Uber driver yesterday who talked to me about his five-year-old Muslim daughter who asked a question about whether or not she could be president in these United States, whether or not her family would be deported because they are going to -- he's talking about a Muslim ban. This man's rhetoric is dangerous. This is not a binary choice. There is no choice.
MCENANY: And your candidate's actions are dangerous.
RYE: This is not -- I'm not finished Kaylee. I didn't interrupt you, friend.
MCENANY: Your candidate's actions are dangerous.
RYE: I didn't interrupt you, friend. I didn't interrupt you.
CAMEROTA: OK, so make -- so finish you point, Angela, and we'll (INAUDIBLE).
RYE: My only point to you is that it's not a binary choice at all. Hillary Clinton had a great ad that came out yesterday and it says, we are not him. And we have to demonstrate to the rest of the world that we are better than this. And that is the bottom line.
CAMEROTA: Kayleigh, do you think that, just in terms of the rhetoric, do you think that the rhetoric has gotten to a toxic level?
MCENANY: Oh, of course. I don't want the rhetoric to get to the level it's at. But, look, you know, it's an important time. It's important for candidates, for voter not to look at just words, but actions. Actions of both candidates. And the actions of Angela's candidates, I love you too, Angela, the actions of your candidate jeopardized the security of this country.
CAMEROTA: OK. RYE: It's not true.
CAMEROTA: All right, you both made your point. Ladies, thank you very much.
RYE: We'll hug it out, Kayleigh. We'll hug it out.
MCENANY: We will hug it out, always.
RYE: All right.
CAMEROTA: There's a lesson in there somewhere, everyone.
RYE: Yes.
CAMEROTA: Kayleigh, Angela, thank you very much.
RYE: Thank you. Thank you, Alisyn.
CAMEROTA: Let's inject some humor into this, Chris, shall we?
CUOMO: Every time I try to hug Alisyn, she punches men in the sternum.
CAMEROTA: I say stop hugging it out.
CUOMO: Late note hosts -- late night hosts looking to get their final shots in before election night. Have a giggle.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JIMMY KIMMEL, "JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE": I got some very exciting news today. My name is on the ballot. You know, they said my name wouldn't be on the ballot because I'm running alone and I have no party affiliation, but they were wrong. My name actually is on the ballot. You look at this. You can see my right j-i-m-m-y. J-i-m-m yes, it's just -- there we go. Just -- vote for me. Look for all of those letters.
STEPHEN COLBERT, "THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT: The FBI announced they may have discovered more of her e-mails. She really should have hidden them wherever Donald Trump keeps his taxes because we can't find those anywhere.
CONAN O'BRIEN, "CONAN": But it is true, Anthony Weiner has checked into a sex addiction clinic. When they were checking him in, they asked for a photo I.D. and he immediately relapsed, right.
SETH MEYERS, "LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS": Authorities are investigating why an official FBI Twitter account that had been dormant for over a year suddenly posted several tweets praising Donald Trump. Oh, you don't know why? Well, take your time. I won't rush ya.
JIMMY FALLON, "THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON": Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's election night parties will be held here in New York City. And win or lose, the dancing will be terrible at both of them. (END VIDEO CLIP)
CAMEROTA: And he's sort of doing the Elaine (ph).
CUOMO: I like those moves, but --
CAMEROTA: You do? You think those are hot moves?
CUOMO: I'm a big upper body dancer. Sometimes I can dance and my feet will stay in exactly one position.
CAMEROTA: Really? Because that's not Italian of you. Italian men move on the dance floor.
CUOMO: I do that when I'm around whities.
CAMEROTA: I guess so.
CUOMO: When I'm around ethnics, then I dance.
CAMEROTA: I know. Then you switch it up. In our -- in our regular way. I get it.
CUOMO: It's all good. It's a whole different vibe. Split the scene.
CAMEROTA: "Saturday Night Live" is back tomorrow. We can only imagine what they will bring to the table in this -- this is their final one, obviously, before the election and they've been planning for it, it feels like for years. So we'll see what happens.
CUOMO: Well, we will be watching because we actually stay up and watch. We're like real people on the weekends.
All right it's time for "Newsroom" with Carol Costello. Another real person.
CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: That's right, we're just not real when we're on television.
CUOMO: Nope.
COSTELLO: That's not true.
Thanks to you both. Have a great weekend
CAMEROTA: You too.
COSTELLO: NEWSROOM starts now.
And good morning. I'm Carol Costello. Thank you so much for joining me.
[08:59:59] We begin with breaking news. The final look at the health of the economy before America heads to the polls. And 161,000 jobs were added last month, slightly below Wall Street estimates. The unemployment rate ticked down a notch to 4.9 percent.
