11:02 am
months away from the election. >> and here in just minutes, the two presidential campaigns will pitch their messages to voters in the critical swing state of wisconsin. any moment now we expect to see vice president kamala harris and her new running mate, minnesota governor tim walz, in eau claire, which is the second stop on their battleground state blitz. and their first full day of campaigning together since harris chose walz to complete the democratic ticket. in the meantime, for watching as republican vice presidential hopeful senator j.d. vance is set to give remarks at a competing event in the very same city, just minutes from now. so let's get there too. alayna treene on what we're expecting with vance today, alayna well, brianna, we did see him in michigan earlier. he really leaned into his attacks. morris, on vice president kamala harris. and then he did on her running mate, tim walz.
11:03 am
so though he did address him in his back-and-forth with reporters following those remarks. but then later he is going to wisconsin. we will see him soon in eau claire, the exact same city where harris and walz will be speaking soon as well. and look, actually, i just want to point that out first. how remarkable it is we've really seen vance traveled to the same exact battleground states that we're seeing harris and waltz go to as well. and that is by design last night we saw vance. he held a rally just four miles away from where we saw the harris campaign to roll out walter as her official running mate in the rally to kind of introduce him to the country. and then today, again, same city that both of them will be at as well. now, i do want to point you to some of the attacks that he had on harris, particularly around some of the criticism and controversy around trump's remarks from last week where he falsely claimed in question harris
11:04 am
heritage. take a listen. >> i was not bothered at all by what president trump said and i didn't take it as an attack on kamala harris is biracial background at all what i what i took it as was an attack on kamala harris being a chameleon. she pretends to be one thing when she's in front of one audience, she pretends to be something else when she is in front of another audience. and i think he was observing the basic foundational reality that kamala harris pretends to be something different depending on which audience she is speaking to never brianna, as we had been reporting that these comments had received a lot of criticism and backlash not only from democrats, but also from republicans who were very uncomfortable with the comments that donald trump made less dweik, however, as you can see there, vance is not running away from them instead, when i talked to the trump campaign, they argue that this is going to be a line of attack moving forward and all of this comes, i should note as the trump campaign continues to struggle with how to best define harris. >> i know that her announcement of walt as her running mate it
11:05 am
has really in their minds given them a new opportunity to try, to try and define the two of them together. and we're seeing that play out more today with a lot of the attacks they have been lobbying at the minnesota governor. but all of this comes as they're still trying to figure out exactly what attacks work best and what sticks with the voters that they're trying to reach? >> yeah. >> they're throwing a lot of it at them, alayna, thank you. and let's go to eva mckend, who is live in eau claire, wisconsin with the latest there, eva you know, brianna, there's just a tremendous amount of energy sprouted filled to the brim here past the gates. people still trying to get in and they really argue that governor walz has a good addition to the ticket that he speaks to their midwestern values of kindness, respect, and compassion. and that is what the campaign is hoping to lean on. there also lots of veterans and teachers in this crowd. take a listen to what they're telling us just really
11:06 am
pumps for education. >> i'm up that tim walz's on the ticket as a former educator we just need to do great things for our kids. get him reading, getting educated so harrison was expected to really make the case against donald trump today, talking about how another administration would bring more tax cuts for the wealthy. >> and that a harris administration would be principally concerned about all americans. in addition to attract, attacking trump they will make an affirmative case talking about extending fundamental freedoms, protecting reproductive rights. all messages that resonate with this crowd. i asked a young teacher in this problem was most important to her. and she said for deck protecting the productive rights and protecting, protecting lgbtq rights because of her young brother, who is trans brianna alright, eva, we will continue to monitor that rally there in
11:07 am
eau claire. >> thank you for that report. >> almar let's talk more about this with democratic congresswoman pramila jayapal of washington. >> she's the chair of the congressional progressive caucus a caucus, congresswoman. thanks for being here. look, i know generally speaking, the progressive caucus is excited about the harris-walz ticket. is there anything in particular that excites you about the governor walz pick? >> yeah. omar, you know, the congressional progressive caucus pac endorsed the ticket yesterday in record time. and i think what really excites people is several things. one, governor walz is somebody that many of our members know and served with. this is somebody who understands the house, understands the importance of congress. secondly, i think in terms of his presence out there, people feel like he can win those midwestern states. he has already popularized a lot of terms that just resonate for ordinary americans. and we feel that he is somebody who is so down to earth and so clear about his values and his principles that he is going to
11:08 am
connect with a lot of the folks that we need in some of these midwestern states, in particular. >> and finally, i think he is 1,000% in with the biden-harris agenda that we already implemented and put forward. >> and now what the harris walz campaign agenda that is really about lifting up people, providing freedom and opportunity to every american governor walz has done this in minnesota. he is pro-union. he's a veteran, he's a teacher. he's, you know, he has been putting forward policies like paid leave that lift up families across the state of minnesota and very much what we want to do. i think we're very excited about the kind of momentum that we saw in the first two weeks of kamala harris becoming our nominee and let's let's talk about the agenda a little bit specifically, vice president kamala harris, who i know you're also excited to work to work with here, but i also want
11:09 am
to ask about some changes in policy from when she first ran for president for the 2020 cycle. >> and now and now, including reversal on fracking ban. and now supported an immigration bill that would have provided ice with so many more resources when she questioned its investment previously, i guess my question is, do you have any concerns working with a potential harris administration? russian especially in some of those areas where some of the folks in your caucus may differ, an opinion look, that's always going to be the case. >> we're always gonna have some areas where we are out front in front of our democratic president as we sometimes we're with joe biden, we're always going to have places where were cited by side, pushing together. and there's always gonna be some times when we're maybe behind and pushing from the back, that's okay. i have to say i was one of the first surrogates out for the vice president when she became the when she announced her that she was running for the nomination, and i was in georgia and i cannot tell you how exciting it was to
11:10 am
be on the ground to see black folks, brown folks, working people, women, you name it every category of people out there. excited volunteers, sign-ups, up first-time registrations with particularly yet young people, 83% of new registrations between the ages of 18 and 30. this is the coalition that i know we put together in 2022 when and it's the coalition that i've been saying for months, we needed to put together this time to when i feel it, i'm going to michigan next week for the vice president. i'm going to continue to travel around the country tree, but the energy and the enthusiasm is real and the joy and the candidacy of two people who understand what it means to be working class in this country and what it means to actually have governments stand up and fight for you to have a chance to have the opportunity that tim walz and kamala harris had. i think that's huge and i think it's going to take us to victory
11:11 am
yeah. >> so while you might not see eye on every issue, it does sound like you're excited to work with them. no matter what i want to ask about another thing here, because look, i know you're just when your primary last night, so i'll say congratulations on that. but also, i'm sure as i'm sure, you may have seen your colleague and progressive caucus because member congresswoman cori bush did not win hers. and i want you to take a listen to something she said as she conceded commented all of these races on notice so i guess my question to you is, what do you think she means by that? >> what's your reaction to seeing that from one of your colleagues? >> well i can't speak to what she means by it. i can just say that cori bush was a great member of congress. she really represented a population that hadn't been represented. i'll never forget her. sit in on the steps that really helped to
11:12 am
make sure that we continued to not a victory people during covid, i think she has been allowed and proud champion for working people and for poor people across this country. i'm sad to lose her. i think that the scourge of big money in politics is something we have to contend with whether it's whatever pac is coming from, whether it's ap pack and dmf phi, whether it's crypto whether it's big corporations putting money in it, this is not a sustainable way to have a democracy. it should not be the people with the most money that get to just pour money in to elections and attack people. often with no basis or with a lot of lies and be able to win a seat in congress. i don't think that's how it should be anywhere. i don't think any big money should be able to come in and so i hope that when we take back the white house with kamala harris and tim walz is president and vice president. when we have the senate, when we have the house
11:13 am
again, that we can pass are for the people act, which the house passed multiple times, which wouldn't rain it all in, but would at least start to bring some transparency and accountability because i think at the end of the day, the american people want to know that what matters is their votes from just looking impartially at the candidates and making a decision people, when people lose. but if you feel like it's not big money coming in to buy an election that is really what democracy should be about. >> and look bushes, cori, bush's primary was the second most expensive in american history behind only jamaal bowman's in new york. and your colleague, congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, said a little bit of what you're saying now, blaming outside spending from super paxton an interest groups here. but i guess the question is, do you think that dynamic outweighed what people on the ground in those jurisdictions actually were feeling i just don't think you can even assess it because when you have inquiries raise, it was 14 million of attack
11:14 am
money coming into her district, and often this money is coming in over a very short period of time and in media markets where 14 million in st. >> louis is like i don't know, 30 million in in new york or california, this is money that is just going 24/7 on the airwaves in the mailers across the board. it's extremely difficult to beat even when you are a candidate, as i believe cori bush was a candidate that is grounded in the electorate. and so let's make these fair competition. let's get this big money out. and if there's a fair competition and it's not $14 million, i think the spending for corey may have been two or 3 million, but all of this should go away. we should just be able to pick candidates based on their qualifications, based on what they say on the doors are on the phones, but not with big money coming in and trying to buy elections, which is what
11:15 am
we're seeing increasingly in both jamal's race, corey's race, and certainly some other races across the country and yet we did see millions of dollars infused into this from outside groups apex of according ones as well. >> in this particular race, congresswoman pramila jayapal really appreciate you being here. thanks for the time thank you, omar. all right ahead. this hour on cnn news central, both presidential campaigns descend on a small city and wisconsin, good old eau claire, wisconsin vice president kamala harris, and republican vp he nominee j.d. vance are holding dueling events just three miles apart, realize that both of them will bring you in a little bit later, plus us officials tell cnn that iran and its proxies are getting ready to possibly retaliate against israel. and it could happen in days. we have a live report from the middle released and new surveillance video shows dvontaye mitchell's final moments. authority say he was pinned down outside of milwaukee hotel and for hotel workers are charged with felony

11:21 am
we'll bring you some of their remarks live, but we're also following a number of other stories, including egypt today issuing what could be the latest sign iran is about to retaliate against israel with an attack that could widen war in the middle east. now, egypt has instructed all its airlines to quote, avoid overflying tehran from 9:00 p.m. eastern time to midnight thursday morning. in the meantime, president biden and secretary of state anthony blinken made a flurry of calls to partners to try and deescalate tensions which are heating up after israel assassinated the highest ranking military commander of iran's most powerful proxy, hezbollah in lebanon, which israel blames for an attack on an israeli occupied areas. cnn's jeremy diamond is in haifa, israel, and has been tracking all of these dynamics as they've played out over the last few weeks. so jeremy, what are you learning at this latest juncture, right now? >> well, omar, it's been over a week now since the assassination of hamas, political leader in tehran has
11:22 am
put this entire region on edge as iran vowed to retaliate. and so far we have not seen that retaliation play out. and so there are a number of different reasons, different scenario those for why that may not have happened. it suggests that perhaps iran is working to get all of its ducks in a row to 2%. its proxies in the region for a larger attack to prepare itself for the possibility of regional war. it could also mean that iran is giving space for the flurry of diplomatic activity that we have seen play out over the course of the last week because there are a number of different ways that this is being interpreted right now in the region we did hear earlier today that the iranian presidents spoke with the french president and suggested that there are ways that war could be prevented. an insecurity in the region. and that is he said, according to the iranian readout of this call oh to stop israel's war in gaza and to get israel to accept a ceasefire. is that a potential diplomatic off-ramp here? that is one possibility. but what is also another
11:23 am
possibility is not only that iran has not backed off of its threats to carry out a strike against israel, but that hezbollah, an iranian proxy the north in lebanon, is still vowing to retaliate not only for haniyeh's killing the hamas political leader, but also for the killing of its senior military commander, fu'ad shukr just hours before that assassination. and there's also the increasing possibility that hezbollah could act on its own without an explicit greenlight from iran that is also certainly something that i can tell you israeli officials are very aware of and watching for. but at this hour, israel's top general, herzi halevi saying that israel is that peak readiness prepared not only to defend itself from potential attacks, but also to strike back omar. it's a situation we'll continue to monitor jeremy diamond really appreciate the reporting. >> brianna we're waiting for j.d. >> vance to speak at an event in wisconsin, you're seeing live pictures here coming from eau claire earlier today, he was in michigan where he launched this attack against vice president kamala harris is
11:24 am
running mate governor tim walz united states of america, asked me to go to iraq to serve my country. i did it. i did what they asked me to do it and i did honorably and i'm very proud of that service when tim waltz was asked by his country to go to iraq, you know what he did. he dropped out of the army and allowed his unit to go without him. a fact that he he's been criticized for aggressively by a lot of the people that he served with. i think it's shameful to prepare your unit to go to iraq to make a promise that you're going to follow through and then to drop out right before you actually have to go. he said we shouldn't allow weapons that i used in war to be on america's streets well, i wonder tim waltz. when were you ever in war when was this? was this weapon that you carried into war given the you abandon your unit right before they went to iraq. and he has not spent a day in a combat zone. what bothers me about tim waltz is the stolen valor garbage do not pretend to be something that you're not with, us now as our tom foreman and tom, you have a
11:25 am
fact check on this for us. >> yeah. there's as you would expect, often with team trump out there, there's some truth. there is some 40 in him. let's start with the initial claim there. the notion that somehow what tim walz did was dodge going to service he was in the guard for 24 years, j.d. vance was in the marines for four years? >> yes. while he was in there, he filed papers to run for congress in february of 2005. he retired from his guard unit that may the orders should deploy, did not come until two months after that. the claim that he was somehow dodging going over here after 24 years of service as well. i just don't want to go to combat. there's just no evidence to back that up right now. did j.d. vance go and serve over there? yes, he did go as he said, he did. and tim walz has said he thinks j.d. vance for his service and honors that service. that's one part of it. the second part of it though, is this notion about the claim about being an actual combat that's different waltz did make a comment speaking to
11:26 am
a group. he's done it a couple of times where he has used language that has suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation as you. know, with your contact with the military, i know from becoming for military family, there is a difference between being in a combat area being involved at a time of war and actually being in a position where people are shooting at you. there is no evidence that it anytime governor walz was in a position of being shot at, and some of his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was. so that is absolutely false when he said that about about gun rights out there the campaign is essentially come forward to say, look, he had a long career. he would never want to purposely mislead people about this is what campaigns tend to say. and i'm sure we haven't heard the end of this, but it's an interesting argument that brings to mind past conference it looks we've had in politics were military people start going at each other and then you start saying, well, what is the basis for this? how much of it is true? and what are we to
11:27 am
draw from that as voters? >> yeah, sort of besmirching each other service, right? in this case the quote was we can make sure that those weapons of war that i carried in war is the only place where those weapons are at. and certainly for someone who wasn't familiar with their record, they might draw different people who aren't who aren't aware of the nuances of that language carried in war to most of us means i carried into a search situation where i was shooting out of the people. >> they were shooting back in may other people might say, well, it was a war time. i was posted forward, i was deployed. the fact that that never happened my father served in korea. i have pictures of him serving on post holding his weapon behind sandbags. he was never shot at, nor did he ever shoot at anybody else. >> so he can say he served in war. >> he never really did because it wasn't combat as such alright. tom, thank you so much appreciate it and ahead, we're live in the small town of eau claire, wisconsin, both vice president kamala harris and governor tim walz and

11:33 am
thought it might be nice to check out this plane that's going to be mine in a few months if we all take care of business. and i think we will but mostly actually, i want to go and say hello to the journalists who are traveling along with the vice president because i figured they must be lonely because kamala harris doesn't take any questions and i want to just point this out before we let the media asked me some questions that i think it's really disgraceful both for kamala harris, but also for a lot of the american media that participates in this stuff to have a person who has been the presumptive nominee of the democratic party for 17 days and refuses to take a single question from the american media now, it's well-known of course that president trump and i will go anywhere. >> we'll answer any question because we respect the american people enough to actually ask them for their vote rather than sit in front of a teleprompter, read scripted lines and run away from every report on every actual citizen who's going to decide this election. i think it's a scandal, and i think the vice president should be ashamed of herself. so hopefully, our reporters out there in the audience will start doing their job a little
11:34 am
bit and going and demanding that kamala harris actually answer to the american people and what should she answer for? can i it's an important thing to point out here before i kick it over to you guys for some questions. well, one thing she should answer for we're in a great american manufacturing facility here, and i appreciate you all showing up and standing behind me. but one thing we know is that you cannot manufacture in this country unless you have access to low cost power. and we happen to be sitting hang on. the saudi arabia of natural gas in this country, we happen to have unlimited oil and gas resources right here in the united states of america. and yet kamala harris would rather get energy from tin-pot dictators and iran and russia than from american citizens and american workers and not only is that driving up the cost of power for hard-working american families, it's also making it harder and harder to manufacture right here in the united states of america. and i'm one of these guys who believes that it's important that we make more things right here in the usa.
11:35 am
we want to make more of our own pharmaceuticals. what to make more of our own manufactured goods? we have to make more of our own food. >> we have to be self-sufficient as a people. >> and if we're not self-sufficient and it's gonna allow the communist chinese to run all over us. and that's exactly what they've been doing under the harris administration. the other thing that kamala harris ought to answer for is this terrible crisis at the american southern border. she has been the borders are for three-and-a-hal f years and americans have suffered because of it. i know this community has been affected by it. i know i've seen the consequences of it personally, but the fentanyl that the mexican drug cartels are bringing into our country. it is killing americans by the bushels, and it is unnecessary. it is happening because of failed public policy. i talked to somebody just yesterday, actually to two kids a 19-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl. and their mom, dad had died of a fentanyl overdose just five years prior when they were ten. and
11:36 am
14-years-old, these two kids were orphaned and they're incredible kids. and i told him i was rooting for them. and i just i can't believe what leadership has led what has happened to these children happen? it's not necessary. there's no american that once the mexican drug cartels to take advantage of our country and make billions of dollars selling drugs into our communities. and these kids suffered because of it. you have a little girl whose bounced around for foster homes in just the past four years because of the poison that took her parents from her and you ask yourselves, why are we doing this? why are we letting this stuff come into our country? i know very personally the pain of addiction. >> you, some of you saw my rnc remarks, but, you know, my mom struggled with addiction for pretty much my entire life and she's been clean and sober for nearly ten years now. >> and that's an incredible blessing for my family and incredible blessing for kids to be able to get to know their grandmother. but i really
11:37 am
believe that if the poison that kamala harris is letting come across the border in 2024 was coming across the border 15 years ago or 12 years ago? i would've never got that second chance for my mom and we would never have the opportunity to see her build a wonderful relationship with her three grandchildren and if this campaign of donald trump's and mine is about anything, it's about preserving the american dream and the american dream is sometimes a thing of second chances. we want moms and dads to recover from addiction and get another chance with their kids we want kids who come from a poor family to be able to stand here and run for vice president united states, because it's the greatest country in the world. and we are proud of it. and it provides incredible bounty and incredible opportunity to our people. we want kids who grew up in low-income families to be able to walk outside and walk down the street without being but without being afraid of a violent crime because violent crime has skyrocketed under the harris administration. we want
11:38 am
police officers to be able to do their job and maybe receive a thank you from the federal government and not a federal government that makes their job more and more difficult. and in all these areas, we have a country that's going in the wrong direction thanks to kamala harris and i think that it's important to say we could be doing so much better and not just that we could be doing so much better. we were doing so much better when donald j. trump was president of the united states, we had somebody who was fighting for american manufacturing, american workers and fighting for their jobs did somebody who was empowering our police and make an easier for them to do their jobs. we had somebody who was stopping the flow of fentanyl and stopping the mexican drug cartels from taking advantage of our country. and we had somebody who was pursuing the kind of economic policies where you could build a life in your home without having groceries become unaffordable, without having housing become unaffordable. the most consistent complaint that i hear from people all across the country, and i've been to more than a dozen states, i think just since donald trump tapping the most consistent complaint that i
11:39 am
hear is that it is harder and harder for normal people to get by. and i happen to think that if you work hard and play by the rules in this country, you ought to be entitled to a good life in the country that your grandparents built. it's very simple very simple goal, and it's something that we can get for everybody. now, is that possible? thanks to kamala harris grocery prices are up 30% since she took office, gas prices are up 50% since she took office. rent is over 40% since she took office every single thing that americans need to buy in order to live a halfway decent life has become more expensive because of kamala harris is economic policies and instead of saying, i'm sorry, instead of saying maybe we should go in a different direction, she is running for the media refusing to answer tough questions and hoping that a basement campaign is going to earn her a promotion. and i think we ought to say to kamala harris, you are fired you're policies didn't work your agenda doesn't work, and it's not what the american people want let me
Check
11:40 am
just, let me just recap it here and then i will turn it over to the media. >> on day one, kamala harris suspended deportations on day one, kamala harris stopped or is cobble harris stopped deportations for the american people on day one, kamala harris refused to continue construction of the trump border wall on day one, kamala harris basically refused to push back against the drug cartels in this country. >> and on day one, kamala harris said that she was going to decriminalize illegal aliens, and she did all of those things. now, american, the american people have suffered the consequences because of it on day one kamala harris became the border czar and ever since then, we've had a wide open southern border now it's not just what she's done on day one, it's what she's done ever since then she cast
11:41 am
the deciding vote for the so-called inflation reduction act that sent a lot of our resources to china and sent interest rates through the roof she cast the deciding vote for the very policies that made groceries and gas and housing less affordable for american citizens. and i think it's very simple. i think that we can do better. i know that we can do better. we were doing better when donald j. trump was president. so thank you all for being here. thanks for standing in support of our president and to all the american people out there who are listening these remarks are, we'll hear them on tv just a little bit later by very simple request is to think about people who are suffering in this country. think about kids who lost a parent to an opioid overdose. think about families like mine, who can afford groceries when they go up by 30% think about families that are struggling because the mom and the dad can't get a good job because kamala harris would rather build the chinese middle-class than the american middle-class. those people could be doing so much better and they will, so long as donald trump becomes president.
11:42 am
and my final comment i'll say is it says on our national our national currency in god, we trust that is the motto of the united states of america. i believe that god calls us to hope and not to despair. and i really do hope for this country and believe that this country's best days are ahead of it but the most important thing that we can do to give people all across this country hope is to get them a government that actually he works for american citizens. and that is by electing donald j. trump. donald j. trump, present united states. thank you all and god bless you. >> appreciate it what i'd like to do here, what i'd like to do is start with a local reporters and then if we have questions from national boards afterwards that i'll call on you to save your, a local news outlet if you throw your hand in the air and i'll try to call on you, sir, right there. hi daniel gomez, the bda you. >> so we just talked about the border and everything and talked about addiction, that, you know, here an okay. >> clare earlier like five
11:43 am
months ago, we lost two hospitals, including an addiction resource question as well. and as you know, okay. clare county voted blue in the 2020 election, voting for biden. so what can you tell wisconsinites here in eau claire county and western wisconsin who are battling addiction, who are battling these sort of things with such limited resources. what can you tell them to? >> help us, you know, see your way and that you guys are the rightful choice here, even just without even mentioning the border because we're far away from the mexican border. >> but you know what can you do for wisconsinites up here in the upper northwest. >> so we are far away from the mexican border, of course, but we're not far away from the fentanyl that mexican drug cartels bring into communities like okay, clare, that's why i talk about in every state is now a border state because every state is affected by the problems. but particularly on this question about hospitals and how do we actually reinvigorate hospitals and some of our small towns and more rural areas in our country. i think there are two answers to that. this question. one goes directly to the immigration
11:44 am
problem in one doesn't look, first of all, we need to actually invest in our hospital system. we've seen since obamacare was passed, we've seen a lot of rural hospitals, hospitals, and small towns close down. you cannot have a good health care system. you're never going to help people beat addiction if they've got to drive 90 minutes let's to the closest hospital, so we've got to preserve the rural healthcare infrastructure that exists in this country and this is where the illegal immigration issue bears on it directly because we know that kamala harris wants to give health care benefits, sometimes medicaid, sometimes medicare to illegal aliens. we also know that when illegal aliens come in, they have to be held house than the jail sometimes, or they have to be house somewhere else. if they're not committing crimes that costs local taxpayer money, we know they have to be fed that cost local taxpayer moneys. we know that they have to be, they have to be provided shelter. right? that costs money and you combine all those things those are tax dollars that are not going to build out our rural hospital infrastructure sure. and support our hospitals.
11:45 am
they're going to people who shouldn't be here. maybe they're good people, but they shouldn't be here and we've got to put the interest of our citizens first, that starts with prioritizing things like hospitals, medical services, food and shelter, that stuff i wanted i wanted to be a generous country and i know donald trump wants this to be generous country, but that generosity starts with investing in american citizens and people who have the right to be here sir a poll from marquette university that came out earlier today, it shows a virtual tie. sure. between former president trump and vice president harris. there's an old saying in politics that what can swing undecided voters in a place like wisconsin, is whether you seem like somebody they would like to have a beer with. why would people in wisconsin want to have a beer with you? >> well, i guess i guess they'd like they'd want to have a beer with me because i actually do like to drink beer and i probably like to drink beer a little bit too much, but that's okay. i'm sure the media won't give me too much crap over that, but look, i mean, my my the, reason i'm doing this and the reason i think donald trump is doing
11:46 am
this, and i think the media often slander said, but i've never met a guy who likes normal people more than donald trump. i've never met a guy who, when he's got a big decision to make he will solicit feedback from every single person all over the country it's funny when he was actually thinking about who was going to be his vice presidential running mate. i met with them actually the morning that of the attempted assassination, i lose saturday morning and he said, you know, jd, everybody asking me what i am going to do for vp and i'm asking everybody said, in fact this morning, i talked to the gardner at mar-a-lago and i said will serve what are the mar-a-lago gardner say, write this bears directly on my life. i'm very curious here. >> and look, i'm i'm i'm very much the same way. >> i mean, i like the people of this country. i like people who work hard and play by the rules. i like people who just want to take their kids to a ball ballgame or invest in their community, or spend a little time watching tv and making the things that actually
11:47 am
make this country work they do it and they do it right here in this factory. and the people behind me do it every single day. and i just i think that to lead this country you should feel some gratitude for it and you should feel some admiration for the people who actually make the country run. and i will say it sometimes i hear kamala harris and she talks about the history of this country and she likes to put it down a little bit. i don't know that she actually admires the people who work in this factory. i hope that she does but i don't really see that gratitude. i don't really hear that gratitude when she speaks. i certainly do. and i think that that's one of the reasons why i'd make a good vice president is because i actually care about the people standing behind me. and i think they feel like i care for them. and i think they care for me to remember look like local man in the red like you said, that he cannot wait to debate, your reaction to that. >> and is there one issue? to that you would really like to debate him on minneapolis here we're we're we're trying to focus on wisconsin, but i'm sure you're reach, i guess spreads across the board. so
11:48 am
why hasn't the question? look, i think i want to debate governor walz because nothing to do with governor waltz, but because the american people deserve to see the people who want to be there, vice president stand before them and try to persuade them. and it's one of the things that's really frustrated me about camilla's campaign is that she seems totally an untrusted and actually talking to american voters and persuading them. if there's a single issue around which i think governor walz has to answer when it comes to his record, this is a guy who says the stands for public safety, but actively encouraged the rioters are burn down minneapolis and i think that if you want to say you've stand for public safety, you cannot look the american people in the eye and say, well, i welcomed the people who calls $13 billion of damage to minneapolis because i encourage them to burn my city to the ground rather than exercise some basic self-control and rather encouraged law enforcement to do what they can do and keep us all save i'm just i'm scandalized by this guy pretending that he stands for working people. working people need to live in
11:49 am
communities with public safety working people need to be able to build a business no, that some hoodlum is going to come along and burned to the ground because of a political issue, working people need the police to be supported in their communities and govern waltz has been a total ferrell on all those things. >> i am local. >> great. thank you do you believe elections in wisconsin are conducted fairly and securely? >> obviously, you're running mate had some issues with that in the last election well, one of the things that was constant did very poorly. the 2020 election is that it actually allowed a lot of big tech billionaires to spend a lot of money. i think putting influence on local boards of election. and as i understand it, wisconsin has actually stopped that. and kudos to wisconsin for stopping that because that's that's ridiculous. gillis you cannot have private billionaires who on social media companies buying up public boards of elections influence public boards of elections. and again, as i understand it, that stopped. so i see a lot of reason to be optimistic about the election was johnson, of course, president trump and i want there to be a free and fair election because we want every legal vote to count.
11:50 am
that's the hallmark of america's constitutional republic. is that everybody's vote has to count. but for everybody's votes account, everything has to be safe and secure. i feel a lot of confidence about wisconsin, but certainly as a cannon and pain, we're going to continue to monitor things. we're going to continue to make sure that people are doing things the right way. and i think the voters are wisconsin should have some confidence that the trump campaign is on top of this stuff and focused on this stuff and we think we're going to have a great election in wisconsin. and i think we're going to win. >> sir, who okay. >> clare as you know, accomplished harris is also speaking no clarity now with her new running mate, tim walz why did you choose to speak here in eau claire today? the same time as harris. >> well, we wanted to make sure there was a contrast in part because the media has been so dishonest about kamala harris's record. and in part because they refuse to ask her questions, we wanted to make sure that there was at least somebody out there providing an alternative story. we have to remember president trump delivered a closed border and rising wages. what is kamala harris delivered a promise to defund the police, a promise to ban fracking and offshore drilling, a promise to destroy
11:51 am
the american energy sector, a promise too increase the prices of the goods that the american people rely on. she has not been a good vice president for the american people, and i don't think she deserves a promotion. i think she deserves it'd be fired. and that's what we're here talking to people about because the media needs to tell the other side of the story. and unfortunately, i think unless you have somebody here, they're not going to do that we've heard a. >> lot from democrats using the word weird calling you. >> we're going former president trump, weird. what do you make of that weird argument? >> i think that the weird argument honestly came from a bunch of 24-year-old social media interns who are bullied in school and they decided they're going to project that onto the entire trump campaign and the reason it doesn't make sense just because you ask who's weird, right is i think it's pretty weird to be the borders are and to open up the border and allow fentanyl and coming to your community i think it's pretty weird to try to take children away from their parents if the parents
11:52 am
don't want to consent to sex changes, that's something that tim waltz did. i think it's pretty weird to want to defund the police. i think it's pretty weird to pretend that you're a tough on crime prosecutor, even though you pursued the policies that made san francisco such a disaster when it comes to crime and public safety. so if they want to call me weird look, i got my wife here. i've got three beautiful kids at home. i'm a normal guy who wants to live the american dream and one that's all of you and your kids to be able to live the american dream. that's why a minute. if those people want to call me weird, i think it's a badge of honor with this can somehow you've been listening to j.d. >> vance and eau claire, wisconsin, just to be clear tim walz did not try to take children away from parents if they would not consent to sex changes. but just a few other things to fact check here. i think specifically on the border which is an issue that really animates voters and not just republicans. a lot of voters. and that's why you hear j.d. vance really hammering on it but while there are many things that the biden and harris administration have to answer for on that. some of
11:53 am
what j.d. vance said just does not ring true. for instance, he said that right now there's a terrible crisis at the southern border just to be clear, border numbers are actually down right now there to three-year low since january of 2021, since that executive order that president biden sign, they have fallen for four months in a row. he blamed biden and harris for the fentanyl crisis in america. and it is a crisis to be clear, i think look at any community do you see that? but he left out that it started during the trump administration during covid it was really an issue of closures at the border and drugs coming over any more concentrated way less could get through it became more concentrated that persisted into the biden-harris administration but certainly he also seemed to allude as well to it been a route the root cause of it being illegal immigration. he was kind of alluding to that and that's just not the truth. it comes through legal ports of entry
11:54 am
and it is almost entirely being brought by american citizens. he also seemed to allude to if kamala harris were in charge, if she were, the borders are as he put it, which is not a correct characterization when his mother was struggling with addiction that his mother would be dead. so he is certainly trying to play on the emotions of this crowd yeah. and look, the fentanyl crisis hitting it goes without saying it did not just start over the course of this administration. >> this is something that goes back years. we haven't started to see the rise of it back to 20 15, and we even saw some numbers start to drop a little bit from over the past two years, but still at a level that is killing so many americans at a rate that no one wants to see. i also want to pick up on one other aspect that he talked about, saying that governor tim walz actively encouraged rioters to burn down the city of minneapolis that didn't happen in fact, while there is some question about how quickly the national guard was called in and whether they should have been called in a day earlier or not. this was the first instance in decades
11:55 am
that the entire contingent of the national regardless, activated to try and deal with it. and there was a legislative report that concluded that that governor walz did not realize the severity of events as they unfolded, resulting in a delayed reaction and increased violence. but we didn't see an incursion richmond of the rioters to burn down the city of minneapolis? >> yeah, that's right. yeah. it was a bipartisan report. let's bring in alayna treene on this. it's a bipartisan report there are lots of questions that i think can be asked certainly, of these topics, but he's really stretching it here. >> yes. and i think i mean, overall, we could go through everything he said and have to fact-checked the majority of those remarks. but i think if you take a step back and you think about what the strategy is here, and this is something i know from my conversations with the trump campaign. they want to be focusing on policy. and even if the policy that they're putting forward is not necessarily the truth, that is what they want to be in voters minds. and part of this and the
11:56 am
reason you're hearing j.d. vance himself talk about this is because they've been trying to get donald trump to talk about immigration, crime, and inflation for the entire election cycle. he's struggled to do that. we've seen his speeches, he risks, he goes off script. he's ends up going into more personal attacks what they have told j.d. vance to do specifically and what his goal has been for this week and beyond. in all of these battleground states is to try to talk about these exact things and of course we are hearing some of the fear mongering that is very reminiscent. of the 2016 campaign. it's exactly what the harris campaign is trying to point out. we're trying to have an optimistic message. try to look toward the future. this is looking backward but this is jd vance's goal. and i also find something that i found interesting just comparing the speech here in the same city, eau claire, that we're hearing from harris and walz he also was in michigan this morning and in both of these speeches, he focused more so on harris and going after harris. and this comes, as we know, that the trump campaign has been struggling ever since joe biden
11:57 am
ended his campaign. a couple of weeks ago on how to define him. and that's what you're trying to see him do. the problem is they still do not know which of these attacks work best and how they can best frame this message to a lot of voters. they're still trying to figure out what this playbook looks like for someone like harris. and now harris-walz versus joe biden. and so that's a lot of what we were hearing and in that speech. >> and look, there are as we talked about, there are legitimate areas to ask questions on that. we've seen. we don't have to say the border situation. of course, even with harris herself sort of switching positions from when she first ran for president to now, there are legitimate questions, but clearly it is part of a strategy that we're seeing. and you see it almost every answer that gave there to the members of the press. >> yeah, certainly did. alayna. thank you so much for that. we do appreciate it. and any minute now, vice president kamala harris will be taking the stage not far from where you just saw j.d. vance in eau claire, wisconsin she'll be there with her new running mate, governor tim walz. so don't go anywhere. we'll bring
11:58 am
that to you excuse me. can i get know? >> many people who advise him? >> driving this is remington. >> he's a member of the family for sure. we always fed them kibble. it just seemed like the thing to do, but he was getting picky we heard about the farmer's dog and it was a complete transformation. his coat was so soft, he had amazing energy. he was a completely different dog. it's a no brainer that where mean should have best nutritious and delicious food possible. and investing in my dogs health and happiness get started at
