something that he was not able to do in person back in 2020. but aaron, it just another example of how quickly the party and its programming our evolving to reshape this race behind their new candidate, aaron. >> all right, kayla, thank you very much, obviously, so many questions about what's going to happen at this. we know the generally the overview but of course not, not many of the details as kamala harris, of course, speaks on the campaign trail tonight, we would wait j.d. vance, the vice presidential nominee for donald trump, to be speaking in reno, nevada the all out right now. thanks so much for joining us. we appreciate your time here on this tuesday, ac360, with anderson cooper begins right now tonight on 360 vice president harris campaigns, and it i'm trying to keep a state that joe biden turned blue in the democratic column also tonight, we're joined by one of the leading contenders to be her running mate and minnesota governor the started the trend either silly are significant of

calling the other side weird. >> later, what the acting secret service chief told lawmakers about the failures and nearly got donald trump killed they told him some loudly in return good evening. thanks for joining us dueling campaign appearances tonight, a battleground states, trump, running mate j.d. vance in nevada, vice president harris in atlanta, where she just said this about the former president's ambivalence on the question of debating her monday. think about that so you want to be his running mate seem to have a lot to say about me and by the. >> way don't you find some of this stuff to just be plain weird well, donald i hope you'll reconsider to meet me on the debate. these days

because as the saying goes, if you've got something to say and just. a few moments, we'll be joined by leading candidate to be her running mate, minnesota governor tim walz, whoever she chooses as mj lee's reporting that her campaign is now on a possible announcement within days to be immediately followed by a joint tour through a series of battleground states meantime, in her raisa define herself just before her appearance tonight, the harris campaign released a new video, some of which he echoed tonight in atlanta, aimed at addressing criticism of her on the border kamala harris supports increasing the number of border patrol agents. kamala harris prosecuted trains national gang members and got them sentencing to prison. trump is trying to avoid being sentenced to prison. there's two choices in this election. the one who will fix our broken immigration system the one who's trying to

stop her now, here's how the trump campaign is trying to link harris to the border in their own new ad 10 million illegal immigrants, migrant crime out-of-control fentanyl kills thousands. >> we have a secure border and kamala harris failed week dangerously liberal. the foreign president had no campaign events today though he did appear on in new york radio show and said this about the vice president and her husband so she dislikes jewish people and israel more than biden did if you are jewish, regardless of israel, if you're jewish if you vote for a democrat, you're a fool. an absolute fool. >> and they tell me that they saw this. harris is husband, doug emhoff, mr. president it's jewish. he's jewish like bernie sanders is jewish. so you can me he's a crappy job. he's a horrible jew. so on the way out we don trump who has no

history of religious belief and practice, assessing the jewishness of the husband of vice president harris long without radio host you could call it a shanda, but the foreign president likely doesn't know what that word means. you to shore in english. the former president also had something to say about his recent remarks to conservative christians about not having a vote for four years from now or ever again, if he returns to the white house, here he is last night on fox with host laura ingraham they're saying that you said to the crowd, two of christiane's that they won't have to vote in the future. >> let me share what i mean by that. i had a tremendous ground speaking to christians just to be clear, what you're saying that you're not saying thank it's being interpreted as you are not surprised to hear, no, i the left as well. they're never going to have another election. and he says he's case saying there's so can you live in just responded but i should christians i started off by saying just so you understand, you never vote christians do not vote well, you have to vote on november 5

after that. you don't have to worry about voting anymore. i don't care because we're going to fix in this country will be fixed. and we won't even need your vote anymore because frankly we will have such love if you don't want to vote anymore, that's okay. >> but you will leave office after 40 years away. >> and i did last time he did, but tried not to and is facing felony charges as a result, also tastes is kfile identified more disparaging remarks j.d. >> vance has made about people without children or is he wants that childless cat ladies you'll recall he said he was being taken out of context. well, here's more context shortly before he actually debuted his childless cat ladies comments to tucker carlson back in 2021, he was speaking about repeatedly the dangers of americans who don't have children so let me ask you a question how many get in trouble for this? >> this isn't being recorded as it were broadcast live that's okay that's all right. >> i'm gonna get in trouble for this, but i want to ask the question anyway. >> consider all of the next-gen

of the democrat party. >> what is the one thing that unites every single one of them? not a single one of them has any children okay. >> if i was also uncovered fundraising emails along those lines, including one from august of 2021, in which he called democratic leaders, childless sociopaths, saying, and i quote, we've allowed ourselves to be dominated by childless sociopaths in a few minutes, i'll talk with minnesota governor and potential harris running mate tim walz right now, let's go cnn's eva mckend in atlanta where the harris rally just finished up to the vice president, hit back at trump's campaign, criticism of her when it comes to the border, talk a little bit of what she said anderson, that's really what stuck out to me, how she talked about the border tonight, it became clear that she is not going to allow herself to be pummeled on this issue from republicans or the former president she is going to speak the about this in an affirmative way. >> she pummeled trump for

squashing by partisan sinn immigration enforcement bill a bill anderson that i should know wasn't even popular with all democrats. she said that if she's elected president, that she would sign that bill into law. and she suggested that he cares more about the issue than the actual border matter. at hand. and so in addition to reproductive rights and gun violence, it's become clear to me that she's not going to be afraid to talk about the border. let's listen i was. the attorney general of a border state in that job. i walked underground tunnels between the united states and mexico on that border with law enforcement it's when officers went after transnational games drug cartels, and human traffickers that came into our country illegally i prosecuted them in case after case. >> and i want what are you learning about when vice have also she also needled the

former president for seeming to back out of the beit, the debate telling the crowd that if he has something he does say that he should say it to her face. >> and so this is clear that this is just a very different campaign. you have thousands of people waiting to get in here. sometimes in rain and blistering heat there is so much energy and enthusiasm. and she can make this argument against trump in a very commanding way so that is why i democrats, ultimately so many of them wanted to see her at the top of the ticket going up against trump, given mckinnon. >> thanks very much more now, on the trump-vance campaign in light of new remarks from the foreign president about that vice president's jewish husband and newly uncovered remarks from his running mate, j.d. vance, about childless americans. kristen holmes joins me now. kristen so vance is on the campaign trail today. he's been going out for the vice verse and inherits what has he been saying? >> well, anderson, he's blaming her for everything from inflation to immigration to crime. he said that she is responsible for the terrible affair, affordability crisis in

america, saying the price of gas, the price of groceries that these are all things that harris is behind. i do want to remind you of one thing, donald trump and his team believed that trump was strongest on three issues. when it came to running against president joe biden. those issues were immigration, crime, and inflation. you are going to continue to hear trump's team hammer that harris is part of the biden administration, meaning harris is part of those policies. they have seen the polling that shows that donald trump is stronger on those issues. they want to beat harris it's the same way they were trying to beat president joe biden. the big question, of course, remains whether or not that is going to be possible. there's obviously a lot more enthusiasm around kamala harris than what we saw around president joe biden. now we have seen a very confident j.d. vance out there today talking about harris hitting her hard, saying that it's time for donald trump to be back in office. but obviously this is very different from what we heard in that washington post exclusive audio that they obtained from a donor event in

which j.d. vance was much more skeptical saying that it was a sucker punch when joe biden dropped out of the race, adding on top of that there were more liabilities with joe biden than their war with harris and mentioning age specifically. so we know obviously there's a lot of still concern going into this new race. >> and what else has vance been talking about as campaign stops? i mean, does he referenced this whole childless cat lady thing or just childless democrats know he hasn't talked about this at all except for in interviews, particularly with megyn kelly when he was trying to clean up these remarks and say it's about family. we also heard donald trump trying to defend j.d vance for these comments in an interview saying that this was because j.d. vance loves his family, he loves his children, and we are told for all intents and purposes right now that donald trump is sticking with j.d. vance, that he has him on the ticket and that he is not looking to replace him at this moment with anyone else despite what you might be hearing from outside allies. but when it comes to

what else j.d. vance is saying on the campaign trail it is almost singularly focused on kamala harris because they are still in this race to define kamala harris they want to paint her in a negative light because they've just believed that voters don't know enough about her, but they're racing against both the clock and harris herself. she's putting out ads to define herself. >> kristen holmes, thanks very much. perspective now from cnn political analyst, and new york times, national political reporter, astead herndon, also cnn chief political correspondent dana bash former atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms is now a harris campaign senior adviser and republican strategist. shermichael singleton dana, you have donald trump on this radio program talking about the vice president's husband, the radio host brought it up. trump is agreeing trump says, any jewish person would be a fool to vote for for democrats does that work he's certainly trying. >> he's trying very hard and i will tell you that the harris campaign released a statement

because it wasn't just talking about the idea that democrats shouldn't vote for kamala harris, which he used to do about job biden as well. he denigrated the second gentleman as you played at the beginning of the show along with an clearly led by the host of that, of that radio show. the harris campaign said donald trump thinks he can score points with jewish voters by denigrating them. he is wrong and that really is the key here. >> he other way, harris's, husband issue was it a jewish and was out front leading the administration's efforts to combat anti-semitism, and correct? >> correct. >> which leads me to an important point here, which is it is a historic trope, anti-semitic trope to suggest that jews have to choose between their religion and the country in which they live. the suggestion being that they

don't choose the country in which they live because their allegiances to their religion and maybe even to israel. whether he knows that this is where he is working and what he is talking about unclear, but he certainly it has been pointed out in many, many forums that this kind of talk is based in millennia long anti-semitism i want to play another clip, okay. >> j.d. vance, recently surface clip about people without children for them i worry that it makes people more sociopathic and ultimately our whole country a little bit less less mentally stable. >> and of course, you talk about going on twitter final point i'll make is you go on twitter and almost always the people who are most deranged and most psychotic are people who don't have kids at home i

said, i mean, it is remarkable all these things that come out clearly i mean, i don't know if the trump campaign knew about some of these comments in advance, but it i mean more and more of them keep coming out. yeah. you asked the question, did they do a kind of scrubbing effort, but the real answer is this is the reason the tucker carlsons of the world were pushing j.d. >> vance. he has been kind of in this maga masculinity ecosystem for a long time. and that's part of the reason he's gained a bunch of fans around two, i think republicans have a problem come on their hands because for a long time, this world has existed in its own silo. and so a lot of republican elected have been going on these programs and talking about people in this crash derogatory way. and it just frankly haven't traveled outside of it. i think this is going to be interesting because j.d. vance has a long history of kind of making the childless cat at his enemy. and i don't think that that's something that obviously grows the tent, but this is a choice that wasn't meant to grow the tent. the reason that people are asking the question of was

donald trump's smart to pick j.d. vance is because it was a doubling down on that maga ideology. he wasn't trying to expand out. he was really trying to further kind of where he is and i think now we are seeing with a different carrier and then they'd on the democratic side, the ceiling, the electoral ceiling that donald trump has, but he didn't seek to expand, which at vance is now looking a little easier for democrats to catch. now that they've switch from biden to biden-harris they are bottoms. >> i mean, there's someone watching vice president harris that rally tonight because clearly she seems to be enjoying it. i mean, she seemed more comfortable than i have ever seen her making a big speech like this certainly from the first time she ran back back in 2020 it is you know, there's also the energy from the crowd which is clearly different than what we saw for president biden out on the campaign trail and you juxtapose the message she's delivering tonight versus the

kind of frankly attacks that are coming from donald trump. i mean, calling her a bomb. all these other really derogatory terms yeah, i had an opportunity to greet the vice president before she came on stage today. and the first thing i said to her is, you are on the fire. is she absolutely is. but this is a kamala harris's so many of us have known for a very long time. we've seen this kamala harris campaign for in previous races, i saw her campaign when she was running for senator and she is a very confident woman and she now has opportunity to show the entire nation how capable she is in prepared to be the president of the united states. there were nearly 10,000 people in this room breanna that energy was simply amazing. it was representative for the state of georgia there. this is

a very diverse state. one of the most diverse dates in the country. and you saw people of all races here. and it was just an incredible gathering. and to think that we only had literally a day's notice as to where we would even be today. we got the notice. i believe yesterday as to where the rally would actually be beheld. so i think this really speaks to the excitement that we are going to take into november with this election. we were blue in 2020, taking to center there's along with us. and that absolutely was not a flu shermichael and j.d. >> vance also went after harris earlier, say claiming the country wouldn't be safe under her presidency, i want to play that she also wants. to confiscate firearms from law abiding american citizens and other words she wants to abolish your second amendment rights, even as she lets more

and more dangerous criminals on the street. and we're not going to let her kamala harris is president law abiding citizens are going to struggle. they're going to be sitting ducks but we're not going to let it happen how effective do you think he's he is being in these i mean, do do you think because it does seem like trump is using is just trying to figure out still how to go after obviously they're going to use her record from running back in 2020. although frankly, donald trump has changed all of his positions over time as his job j.d. >> vance, look, anderson, i don't think the american people writ large are moved by meretricious acts. but i think if you're going to paint a contrast between your philosophical governing style and that of your opponent and an electoral contest which this is, then you are going to highlight differences on issues such as crime issues such as immigration, the economy, cost of living national security,

foreign policy. and that is what i think trump and vance should do more of and less of the personal attacks against the vice president particularly as it pertains to women where republicans have struggled for two years now as a result of the overturning of roe roe versus wade. so you're already entering into this contest struggling with a key demographic group that republicans, once upon a time did mathematically very well with. but i think if you paid the contrast or the kitchen table issues where the data has suggested for about a year-and-a-half or two now, are that most americans are principally concerned about their day-to-day living can paint the picture of how you will govern differently to improve that for the standard average person that i think you're having a winning contest of ideas. but the minute it becomes personal, i think you began to lose people, particularly that four to 5% in the middle that are going to be incredibly necessary for republicans to perform well in november from shermichael storm at a cost it testified ideas and we don't hear a lot of ideas coming from donald trump. i mean, if you listen to his

his speech long and rambling though was at his convention. it wasn't full of policy prescriptions. it was oh, i'm going to fix the war in ukraine in 24 hours. the war in israel would never have happened. i mean, it's no, there's no details there and there never was if you go back to 2016, i remember and i know you did as well trying to pin him down on. you want to repeal obamacare? what are you going to replace it with their he was going to repeal obamacare on day one, right? within 24 hours. and it was gonna be great and everybody would still have coverage on pre-existing conditions. >> and guess what it didn't matter. >> hillary clinton had reams and reams and reams and reams of policy proposals and that is what to me was so striking about watching vice president harris tonight and that is donald trump won in 2016 because of how he made people feel. he made people feel heard. he made people feel angry. but he made people feel something kamala harris made

people feel tonight. you could see it. it wasn't just the crowd side, which is going to make donald trump not happy. but it was the energy there, which is something that you can't prescribe with a whitepaper. and it's not necessarily what i mean. of course, people want to know what candidate and a potential president is going to do to make your lives better. but people also want to be excited about somebody it's so interesting because not a lot of people have figured out ever how to run against donald trump put his point she may, again, we haven't seen them facing off in a debate we haven't seen them her off prompter extensively talking about him. >> so there's a lot remains to be seen. but but her kind of having fun with this and even her used the term weird you know tom friedman and criticize but it is, it sort of emasculating and taking away it's not it's not it's

almost not sort of taking him seriously to his face in a way the other candidates, like marco rubio tried criticizing the size of his hands, but that certainly didn't work and fell flat and i think this place to kamala harris has strengths. i mean, she's correct to say that she has dealt with bullies before. she has dealt with people who have kind of used a projection of masculinity that's meant to intimidate before. and this is frankly someone who has unmoved by that, whose, who's motivated to frankly cut that type of attitude down. i've sat across from kamala harris, i tried to ask her questions and things like that. and this is someone who likes a fight, who is comfortable in a fight. and so i think that when i think about the contrast that she is going to try to make here, it's one that plays to her strengths and i think frankly, it's one that donald trump hasn't seen before. this is a different type of candidate, and this is different than 2016. the fear about a woman at the top of the ticket it's different. dobbs as a motivating issue for is different. and those conditions have made it better for her even in the was four years ago, everyone. >> thanks. coming up next, minnesota governor tim walz, a

possible running mate on the harris ticket. he joins me and later to campaign strategists who play major roles and democratic and republican presidential campaigns, where they see in this one and where they see it going. what is not? now an unprecedented sprint in november anderson cooper, 360, he is brought to you by tebe visit. >> sounds like td td.com kate made progress with her mental health, but are medication caused unintentional movements in her face, hands, and feet called tardive dyskinesia or td so her doctor prescribed bell said, oh, exon, a once-daily extended release td treatment for adults costello xr significantly reduced case it's tv movements. some people saw response as early as two weeks with us said, oh xr, kate can stay on her mental health beds. >> hi, buddy. >> i'll sadow xr can cost it's depression, suicidal thoughts or actions in patients with huntington's disease pay close attention to and call

on these guys. this idea of calling them out for who they are, shrink them, is he a danger to society? yes. is he a danger to women's health? yes. is he a danger to world peace? yes. but don't give him more credit than he needs. he's just a strange, weird dude. >> and governor tim walz joins us now, governor good to have you on the program. so you started we believe that term weird democrats are certainly running with it. tom friedman within new york times said in a column recently, he said, i cannot think of a cilia or more playground, more foolish and counterproductive political tanf for democrats to seize on and calling trump and his supporters weird. he went on to say that nobody he's the former president, the arena of name calling what do you say to freeman? do you worry that this is somehow playing into trump's hands? like what marco rubio tried to do yeah, no, it's not it's not a name calling or tagging him with it. >> it's an observation and i didn't come up with it. people around, you know, that i'm with around southern minnesota relatives and republicans look, donald trump is a threat to all

those things, but we somehow put it in there that that he had this power, that there wasn't anything we could do about this this is a tool i'm a teacher and you're trying to get things in. this is the emperor's wearing no clothes and once you take that away from him, it opens up the space to start asking the questions. who's asking to take away reproductive rights and birth control? who's asking to raise the price of insulin who's asking to have tax cuts for the wealthy? why we take away veterans benefits. these are all things that are in trump's proposal. you don't get that space. if people feel like they're intimidated or this guy has this going on. so i disagree with tom. it's not about that. and look, i've dealt with bullies. 20 years in the classroom. this is about making sure you take away this perceived power he has. and in most cases with bullies, he doesn't have up and so this opened up the space of what you're seeing and lana politics of joy that many of our younger people have not seen an optimism. he doesn't, he doesn't scare vice president harris, but he opens up this idea that your previous

guests were asking about, where's the plan? he doesn't have one and these weird ideas i'll stay to that. i still say this. people can feel this. why does the guy never laugh? like wet left with people but laughing at people? and why are you talking about hannibal lecter, you've got vice president harris down there talking about making childcare more affordable, things that really impact families. so i disagree with tom. >> it does seem what's interesting to me about when i first started notice it is it's dealing with the former president, which no one else kind of figured out before. and a lot of people tried which is i mean, it's just it's like it's sort of discounting him in a way like sort of brushing him aside in a way that he doesn't really know how to respond to because he is humorless. he doesn't he doesn't have a sense of poking funded himself it does not play to. he doesn't know how to respond to this he doesn't classroom bully. i'm sorry, i

did that too long. night and this guy, he's not offering anything and i want to be very clear. i'm not speaking about the people at his rallies. those are my relatives. those are folks that are there and look, he would be entertained if that's what republicans are saying, they're saying, oh, you're calling you're calling trump and all his supporters, weird that is exactly the last thing i'm saying. >> i'm saying these are folks, like i said, these are my neighbors. they're there. these are good people. they're going there because they're disenfranchised, not why j.d vance things. he gets that all wrong. i grew up in a town of 400 graduated with 24 classmates, 12 cousins. i know these people this is isn't what this is about. i'm talking about those people there that we need to make the case to them. these are people that democrats they felt like democrats have spoken down to them that we've not gotten in reached where they're out there trying to be who they are. that's what jd vance's stick is talking about guns. i guarantee you he can't shoot dozens like i can. and that's a part of saying but you know what? i guarantee i don't want weapons of war in class let's rooms and there's no reason that you can't have reasonable restrictions around that without infringing on your second amendment. he's going in

there throwing these things around that makes a difference. democrats need to go into these places. i'm going to go in every legion hall. i can go into and say vice president harris will not cut your benefits. i said in the va committee for 12 years to increase those benefits with republicans like jeff miller from florida korda, this guy wants to cut them because it's in the 2025, we need to be bolder on that. we need to go out and say that i'm not talking to those people at all other than we got a better plan for you, the former president is in your home state, minnesota on saturday. i just want to play a little bit of what he had to say if they don't cheat, we win this state easily. >> okay. they cheat. they have no shame. they cheat. the understand that you get people that are most they cheat they cheated in the last election and they're going to cheat in this election, but we're going to get them out. >> we should note the foreign president lost minnesota in 2020. do you think he could win minnesota in 2024? and obviously if you want to respond to allegations of fraud when they always could yeah yeah they're not true. i think

he's he thinks he's in venezuela or something like he's trying to complete is what a state of hockey he lost in 16. he lost in 20 lose in 24 hat-trick. that's what he's going to get, but that's what he does. this is dangerous stuff. don't normalize this. but what i say is, is due to work we're going to have more people on the ground. i just came from a brewer over and st. paul, a group of folks got together about 100. they were going to try and reach $40,000, hundreds and hundreds. they raised $150,000 in three days. signs all over. people are out, we're going to do the work. yes. could he win minnesota? yes. but you know what you have to do with minnesota. you have to have a plan, you have to tell the voters why it matters and you have to have ground game to get out there. we vote at a higher rate than anybody else does. and i will tell you this. there are republicans that are insulted. minnesota is elections. we have a higher voting rate. we vote, and our elections are secure. he's dismissing those people, many of them republicans, republican election judges. but that's who he is. he's got nothing to offer. so he thinks he can, but look, he's endorsed candidate against me and three or four races. he said he'd win minnesota. he will lose again. and this is where it ends. it

ends in the blue wall. so what it's going to be, it seems like the trump team is coalescing around this. obviously this idea of going after harris on as the most liberal i'm trying to saddle her with all the criticisms that they were using for the biden administration we have not seen. i mean, she started to do that she pushed back today on that in her address. she very quickly pivoted to the deal which the former president were the bipartisan deal, which he told his, his members, his republicans in the senate, not to follow through on and killed that deal. that seems to be what her response is going to be. is that enough? i mean, clearly she has a record of statements she made the last time she ran for president. that is going to be used against her yeah. >> well, they're going to say whatever they're going to say, we just need to have good proposals are things that we can do. i think we need to acknowledge to folks that every nation in the united states needs to control the border. and i will add the northern

border, which minnesota is on. but you can do that using the right tools and the lankford sinema bill that he did kill would have done that the border patrol agents endorsed it. these are folks who know what needs to be done, but he's not interested in solving the problem what democrats need to do is acknowledge and he has ginned up fear, but our border can work better. it doesn't. there's no reason someone seeking asylum, which we will always be a guiding light for, shouldn't have to wait seven years to halve that adjudicated. that's why this bill would have made it 90 days and people either got it or they were remote and i think seeing a plan that's out there talking about it with folks knowing that he's not going to do anything. he talks about this wall. >> i always say, let me know how high it is if it's 25 feet and i'll invest in the 30 foot ladder factory that's not how you stop this. >> you stop this using electronics. you stop it using more border control agents and you stop it by having a legal system dm, that allows for that tradition of allowing folks to come here, just like my relatives dead to come here, be able to work and establish the american dream. he's not interested in that. he wants to demonize, will look, we produce

most of the turkey's that you're gonna need and thanksgiving. those are immigrants working hard establishing themselves here. what's he going to do? is he going to take them all out? and how's the economy going? and where these people my neighbors, whether republican or democrats, don't want to demonize their neighbors, they just want to say border. she's got a plan. the lankford sinema bill was a big key to it and donald trump doesn't want it. he thrives on chaos. he thrives on this idea that's only him governor tim walz. i appreciate your time tonight. thank you thanks, anderson, because they've protects the reasons behind the urgent campaign to define kamala harris on both sides from two strategists who have helped run presidential campaigns greetings haven't yet. >> that's not good happened huge things happen happened there with three, learn more at rnc.com. this tiny home trend not for me. >> now, this is more like it. the same goes for my foot work through. i want hands-free with

white fits. get your slippers just step in and go without bending down or touching my shoes. why byd hands-free skechers slip is lysol knows little hands deserve thank protection. >> that's why we're donating science kids to schools in need. and helping teachers keep their classrooms protected by killing get

started today, accustoming.com tv on the air moments that shaped our culture coming this fall on cnn as we mentioned tonight, both the trump and harris campaigns are russian define the vice president in a new ad today, the foreign president double down on laboring, labeling her the borders are i'm donald j. >> trump, and i approve this message. >> this is america's borders are and she's failed us under harris, over 10 million illegally here a quarter of 1 million americans dead from

bedrock brutal migrate primes and isis now, here, you have any plans to visit but the border, you haven't been to the border? i haven't been to europe. >> i thought i understand the point that you're making kamala harris failed week dangerous liberal well, now here's part of the new harris campaign ad on the border. >> the choice is simple kamala harris supports increasing the number of border patrol agents. >> donald trump blocked a bill to increase the number of border patrol agents. >> kamala harris prosecuted, trains, national game members and got them sentenced to prison. trump is trying to avoid being sentenced to prison. >> there's two choices in this election. >> the one who will fix our broken immigration shan system and the one who's trying to stop her join me now is 2012 obama campaign manager jim messina and stuart stevens, a former republican political

consultant who was a presidential campaign strategies for george w bush and mitt romney is also the author of the conspiracy and end america five ways my old party is driving our democracy received to autocracy so jim, jim what we just saw, two dueling ads what do you make the strategies from both campaigns to try to define harris well i get. it. when stewart and i were going after each other in 2012, my theory was, we need to define mitt romney before it gets out of the gate and so that's what they're trying to do to kamala harris. i think she's very smart anderson to push back very hard and say we're not going to allow this and to try to make it a choice. i used to say to obama elections have to be choices. and i think they're trying to set up the choice in a very smart way. >> what do you see that that choice as a plan, someone who has a plan and then trying to put donald trump back as the incumbent to say, look, he could have done this, he could have passed a bill he killed the cinema lankford bill and

trying to make that the clear choice in this election. i think both stewart and i would agree smart campaigns make these things a choice. >> stewart, how do you see both the efforts right now to define her yeah. >> look, i think the whole premise of the trump campaign is that americans are really dangerous place that you're referring to. go while your door, that there are these evil pupil out there and he's a strong man that's going to protect you. and i just don't think that's the reality that most people are living in violent crime is down. i think most people go about their lives, are pretty content with it. they're not afraid to go out really it is the trump campaign is turned a trumpism has turned republican party into that, not that, not the country of the brave home of the brave. it's the week, it's the fearful there's all these forces out there like canada that is out to get america declared canada national security threat i think it's really completely contrary to what it means to embrace being an american. we'd like optimism we'd like looking forward. and i think

harris just embodies that so much more. >> jim, i want to play some of what the foreign president has said about vice president harris in an interview that aired on fox tonight i think they'll walk all over i look at her. >> i think that woke all over. she'll be so easy for them. she'll be like a plane they look at her and they said we can't believe we got so lucky taking a walk all over. and i don't want to say as to why. but a lot of people understand it it was interview was last night like a play toy. he says, i mean, it's it's a knock you often uses against women that they're weak, they don't have the strength to do what amanda's it is just a crazy strategy because it's just going to a women off anderson. what have we seen since the dobbs decision? these polls have been wrong in election after election because they underestimate women turnout and they underestimate women saying enough is enough and trump is playing exactly into that.

he's trying to scare male voters and he's exactly stewart said, there's no hope there's no optimism, there's no, this is why you should vote for me. it is just trying to demonize his opponent. and i don't think that's what america is. i think america is about optimism and why you've seen this incredible boom for harrison the first nine days is because democrats are i did. there's optimism and that's the clear difference between these two candidates is stored. >> it is also odd that he would use the term play toy. i mean, from given his record of dalliances outside of marriage given all the controversy. well, actually, let me ask you what do you see that the harris campaign, i'm given the short amount of time and she's had something of a honeymoon, obviously, since announcing it's been very positive a lot of positive news that she's been able to generate. and there's been obviously a lot of excitement to talk about and see can that continue through?

um, does that continue through the convention or do you see it now is now the hardest point. now that they sort of the, the republicans start to kind of coalesce around how to go after her well, one thing is gonna be different is the harris campaign has a lot of money. never lot of resources. he may have a lot of energy you know, i think what we're seeing is something that doesn't happen very often in american politics. i think it happened with the obama campaign. i think you've probably we happened with the reagan campaign that you're choice to vote for the vice president is not just about her, it's about who you are, you and what kind of country do you want to live in? and that really, i think it's very, very powerful and lincoln project we've always found one of the most effective things we do is to say, is this who you are? hold of a marjorie taylor greene, hold up like a donald trump, the guy in the camp all switch switch or is this really who you want to be? and i think trump is betting on

america that really doesn't certainly isn't a majority of americans. i mean, if somebody moved in next door to most suburban families who are white, who was non-white are different religion i think they go out of her way to show their kids if they be welcoming, they're not afraid of that. that's really not what this is about. so i think racist become about something usually and i think this is becoming about the future versus the past. and what kind of america do you want to live in? and trump is a guy is against mandatory vaccines ten schools. but he's pro-polio, pro hoping cough candidate, stuart stevens, jim messina. >> thank you. next the new acting director of the secret service and his grilling by lawmakers on the failure of protect donald trump from a would-be assassin? >> when you're the leader is that's the clean up and restoration. how do you make like it never even happened? >> brandi whatever comes your

the things he talked about is that essentially there was a very bad cell phone service in that area. and so the radios that the secret the service ron would not exactly the radios that the local police were on and the look that the lack of service is one of the reasons why, for instance, they didn't have a counter drone operations there to defeat the drone that the shooter used. a couple of hours before the shooting, a number of problems communications-wise that led to the cascade of failures that day, anderson or whatever the motive for the shooters that any closer to being known still still a puzzle for the fbi paul abbate, the deputy director, did forever tell us about a new account that they've been investigating this account that we now know is on youtube. this is from 2018. i'm sorry, 20 2020. so he was about 15-years-old at the time. and it would posting things about violence, about anti-semitism

and anti-immigration points of view. we also heard about another account on a right-leaning site or social media site called gab. now the ceo of that, of that company said that the postings on there were more pro-biden so it appears to be a mix of things that were coming from this this young man when he was 16, 15-years-old, a few years ago, certainly nothing more recent to indicate a motive would have or an ideology according to the fbi and the acting director, did he lay out any changes the agency is going to be making absolutely. >> they say that now only are they of course, getting ready for the dnc. we have the presumptive nominee, kamala harris, who now is getting upgraded service, but also j.d. vance and everybody had everything based basically has been revamped as a result of what happened on july 13 all right. >> evan perez, thanks so much still to come with israel saying about its deadly strike in lebanon today in retaliation for the weekend attack that killed 12 children and the golan heights, a live report from beirut next bring the land

get this beautiful natural color a rich learn more at laura gueler.com the source with kaitlan collins next tonight, israel says it killed one of hezbollah's top military commanders in a strike in beirut, lebanon, lebanese state news reports, at least three other people were killed more than 70 injured. >> israel has blamed the commander for saturday's rocket attacking the golan heights that killed 12 children on a soccer field. cnn's ben wedeman joins us now from beirut. so what are the implications if what the idf says is true about killing the commander? >> well, this this commander for eid schuker is by far the most senior hezbollah military commander to be killed by israel since the outbreak of hostilities last october. now, what we've seen in the past it's when senior field commanders were killed by israel. his bullet did let loose with some fairly intense barrages on israeli positions along the border. given that he

is a senior commander and perhaps the most senior commander killed in his balah's since 2008 when israel assassinated a mud melania in damascus. the, we can anticipate a fairly strong response. however, his bulla is no, not to want to go to full scale war with israel the lebanese have already paid a high price as a result of these hostilities. more than 100,000 lebanese have been forced to leave their homes in the south if his bulla engages in something that will provoke a massive israeli response to the number of people affected will be far greater and there might be pushed back from lebanese who do not support his butler. there, many of them so they have to calibrate their response. there will be a response the question is, just how large it will be. anderson. >> there has been concerned about an all out war between

israel and hezbollah, which we saw back in 2006 what are the chances of that were sort of on the edge of the abyss? >> as i said, both sides really don't want they full scale war. i think the israelis, after ten months of war in gaza perhaps don't have the appetite for that even though there is intense political pressure on primary in history, netanyahu to bring quiet to israel's northern border. and at the same time, there are many restraints on hizballah, but the problem is that the situation like this where both sides want to push to a certain extent, send a message, but not go too far. the problem is, one of them might make a mistake stake for instance, the strike that killed 12 children in the golan heights on saturday, it's widely believed that was a mistake by his bullet that was not their intended target. so mistakes happen and mistakes can oftentimes despite the sort

of the intentions of the warring parties, any wrong move, any mistake could really unleash the kind of regional war because that's not forget, iran backs hezbollah. the houthis in yemen the militias in syria and iraq and if push comes to shove, they will all become involved in this in a war between hezbollah hello and israel. and then all bets are off. so we're at a very dangerous moment and i think in the next few days we'll see if it's just going to be a flare-up. up or something much, much worse than reason. thanks very much. i appreciate it. the news continues. the source with kaitlan collins starts. now see tomorrow save from the source tonight. kamala harris taunting donald trump at a packed rally in atlanta, giving a shoutout to a power player there who willoi
