some the most treasured sites in the world. good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin tonight with new reporting, including from the new york times, maggie haberman, who joins us with her take shortly that the former president is still struggling with how to campaign against vice president harris a number of republicans, members of congress, pundits, advisers have publicly said they want him to focus on policy, not conspiracy theories and attacks on harris, particularly involving her race, like we heard from him at the national association of black journalists yet today mixed in with those policy critiques, the republicans have been asking for his campaign war room posted this two pictures side-by-side. the left one bill as quote, your neighborhood under trump and one on the right, quote, your neighborhood under kamala, a flag and whitewash porches on the left, on the right, a sea of black and brown faces all under text, which reads import the third world, become the third world. now, this is nothing new in american politics. it has a long and sad

history and it's certainly not anything new for donald trump as we speak, there are hundreds of thousands of biden migrants are invading our city in our country they're coming from so many places. >> we don't have any idea in many cases, we don't even know what the language you know, you have languages that people don't even know about. >> that was the former president april and wasn't explicit enough here he is last december using a nazi-era description of what foreigners and back then jews were accused of doing they're poisoning the blood of our country that's what they've done. the coming into our country from africa, from asia all over the world so none of what trump is saying about harris is really new, including his repeating repeatedly mispronouncing her name kamala camila. >> kamala. they were explaining to me, you can say camila. you can say kamala i said, don't worry about it, doesn't matter what i say. i couldn't care

less about mispronounced it or not, i couldn't care less. kamala. sometimes referred to as commonly it is to get about nine different ways is it pronouncing that the former president does what he does and despite urging from republicans what he continued to do this evening kamala harris, nobody knows her last name. it's harris know. everyone thinks over his kamala, so it's kamala harris joining us now is new york times senior political correspondent maggie haberman so if trump is in fact rattled by vice president harris, is it clear to you what it is specifically that rattles him so well, i think there's two things, anderson number one, she's close the polling gap with him and a pretty short amount of time and he had gotten very used to running against joe biden. >> that was comfortable for him. he knew what the line of attack was and his campaign had spent a lot of time and money on it. but she is a woman and she is a black woman. and both of those facts jurors have proven pretty challenging for him in the past yes, he is. his

allies will say he is an equal opportunity offender and he goes after everybody and it's certainly true that he insults a wide variety of people, but he has seemed to really struggle with women opponents, women critics, and particularly black women for critics. >> it is also just remarkable how kind of regurgitated many of the messages coming from trump or not just regurgitated by trump from years past going after barack obama talking about his name, pointing out, his middle name, raising questions about the origin his origins. but but regurgitated from dozens of american political races in our history and calling people marxist and communists and demonizing people of color trump is. >> a man of few moves and so we have seen him make the same ones over and over. you are correct that he is trying to run against kamala harris the same way that he attacked president obama when obama was

in office and trump was flirting with the idea of running for president in 2011 and was promoting the birther lie that suggesting that the first black president was not legitimate to serve, you can see his campaign. if you look at the trump war room account on twitter, they are there trying pretty hard to bait her and debate democrats into a fight about rates. and that has been something so far that the harris campaign has not taken the bait on but this is something that we have seen him do before. where it is something that comes up as come up in other races. again, we will see what this race looks like in the fall. but so far the harris campaign has been pretty focused on what it wants to talk about and it's not what donald trump wants to talk about. >> is it clear to you? i mean, does he still receive messages from does he still talk to all sort of a whole strange cast of misfit toys, characters

throughout the day. i mean, cnn has been reporting that some trump allies are concerned that he's more susceptible to fringe conspiracy theories when he is most vulnerable, who, who has his ear right now yeah, a jonathan swan and i reported this weekend about the fact that he has so disoriented has left him pretty susceptible to being manipulated. >> he's actually we just reported that he has a meeting plan with miriam adelson widow of the casino magnate sheldon adelson. this week at bedminster. and this comes after he attacked her abruptly out of nowhere over texts through one of his aides, a couple of weeks ago, he has a lot of people around him who either support conspiracy theories or don't like what they see as the establishment or our critical of certain kinds of republicans and when he is feeling cornered, he tends to listen to those people. he is clearly feeling cornered right now. >> she still the fact that he's still trying to live crowd sizes, which was from the earliest days of him in the white house. he was we all remember the sean spicer having

to kind of sadly go up and back him up on these crowd-sized claims yeah it feels very familiar again, man, of few moves and again, these are moves that he makes when he is under strain or anxiety or uncertainty and he tends to be at his said his most erratic look, the number of people who we have spoken to, who, who just say that he, he seems very on edge is not small thank you, everyone. >> thanks very much. perspective now from natasha alford, senior correspondent for the grio, also seen him political commentators, paul begala and scott jennings. natasha, we just heard the former president in his univision interview tonight, marking the vice president's name yet again, he did it with president obama, of course, as we talked about maggie, i mean, it seems like just the most juvenile and blatant effort to make a person of color. it seems somehow foreign or different, or somehow untrustworthy, that no one knows their real name was his thing. he's saying tonight well, it's an effort to

denigrate her as a candidate and a person, right? she's not even worth sort of getting to know her name. we're having to say her name correctly. he says things like she's not that smart. he does this very intentionally with women of color. he's done it against maxine waters questioning her icu. so all of it plays into stereotypes that we've seen before. it's about us versus them. it's about the other that we are supposed to fear. when you look at the meme that was sent out, you notice that the immigrants that were shown, they are immigrants of color, right? despite the fact that immigrants come from around the world he wants you to see that there are certain types of immigrants that you should fear bowl for people who are low information voters to believe that they are somehow protected by him and not on the outside group, but i think, what many of these voters will start to see is that he also doesn't

have their interests at heart and that is something that will be evident when when many of the policies that he advocates, when you really look at them closely, you see that they don't include all of america you know, paula, it certainly brings up back because of the willie horton ad that was used decades ago and the foreign president i mean, if this is happening now at this stage of the race where does this end up a month from now? right here, you've got 83 days. you know, he's, he's started in the gutter, he's now in the sewer. i don't know what's below that this this mean it does. i mean, it makes willie horton looks like a benetton add may there's nothing subtle there i suppose the good news is he recognizes kamala harris is black, which was not the case a few days ago. but it's beyond set aside that it's racist, which it is it's really don it's really dumb, and it's very desperate if this is a guy who got 8% of the black vote in

the last election, but was polling at 20% in a black vote before joe biden dropped out, 20%. that's terrific for republican and i don't know much about politics, but it seems to me that means like this are going to drive away a lot of black voters by the way, a lot of white voters, but hispanic voters, lot of asian-american voters it's a really dumb move as well as desperate as well as you don't think it worked, but you don't think this you don't think those side-by-side comparison speaks to some pharrell deep part of some people's brains it does, but those people are already for trump. >> i just don't see an undecided voter looking at this saying, oh, could point. now, maggie just used she's so good. >> really important word, baiting i will say the democrats don't let mr. trump beat you into screaming, oh, racist, racist. far better i think for kamala harris to say, let me tell you what your neighborhood will look like. >> crime is down under biden and harris, it was up under trump's of crime will be lower, but your income will be

higher because we're going to raise the minimum wage and the young person working at that grocery store at that mcdonald's where i used to work is going to be doing better off your health care will be cheaper. and your rights will be protected, especially if god forbid you need to go and have an abortion that's a much better answer because that's actually hitting people where they live, rather than telling them what i think people who are already against trump believe, which is that he panders to prejudice scott. >> cnn's reporting that former president allies kellyanne conway, want him remain on message. i want to play what nikki haley said on fox today about this i want this campaign to win. but the campaign is not going to win. talking about crowd sizes, it's not going to win talking about what race kamala harris is, it's not kind of when talking about whether she's dumb. it's not you can't win on those things i know. >> you've said last night in this broken the he needs to focus. they put out this meme

today is that a good idea? >> well, the issue is real. i mean, this is an it's provocative and it is unsettled. i agree with paul and the issue is live immigration is a live issue. and as i understand it, this was a real but you take it in new york city during the biden-harris administration, i think what he's trying to provoke is a debate over what policies are leading to some of this immigration chaos, both at the border and in some of our larger cities across the united states. so you could, you could not like it or like it, but what he's trying to do is provoke some kind of a debate between the campaigns about who's responsible for the immigration chaos. so that's not, that's not what you think it was too. you does it have echoes of the willie horton ad? is it worse than that as paul sediment, it's i mean, not everyone is neighborhood look like that? under the trump years and certainly the idea that everyone is neighborhood is going to look like the image the other image, it's just,

it's ridiculous i think i think it is a fair criticism for trump to make about the biden-harris policies that have led to immigration chaos. >> now, people are going to go crazy about this. i mean, i assume it's going to be one of the most viewed posts of the trump war room thing because everybody's talking about it tonight. but you have to admit the immigration debate is one that he has to have with harris because it is the thing that most ties her to joe biden. she did have some hand in the policymaking on it, and so he he probably can't win the election without provoking some kind of an immigration debate with her given the level of importance ascribed to it by most american voters and the fact that most people believe this is one of biden's and harris is biggest failures in the last four years. >> natasha, i mean, heard pushback, of course has been now there could have been a deal, but trump put his thumb on the scale and stopped republican members from congress from going along with the bible partisan deal that had been negotiated yeah, i

think that she needs to continue to repeat that that there was a moment where two parties had actually come together, right? >> you had members of two parties come together with solutions and for partisan reasons of donald trump and i'll, trump has overtaken the republican party they weren't able to actually implement something that could have improved americans lives. and also the lives of those who were desperately in need who may have been crossing the border she has to emphasize that border crossings have gone down for five months straight right. and that's after joe biden put in an executive order because that bipartisan bill did not go through. there are actions that they've taken and as long as she points back to that and she talks about where she's going to do and it reminds people that this is a long-term problem. it's not a problem that just started under the biden-harris administration, but it's something that we, as americans of all sides should be invested in fixing. she can seem like

the adult in the room i mean, maggie was saying that the campaign the trump campaign is still struggling with a message from a campaign perspective would just 83 days left. >> how problematic is that? >> yeah, that's kind of a problem. >> he he's an insult comic. that's what he does. and i know some of these people ambassador haley, she means well she's talking about issues that donald trump doesn't know. issues. he's simply knows insults and it worked for a while. >> the problem is, he's up against a younger, more dynamic woman who has revitalized the democratic party. >> he does not know what to do. and so he's falling back on the same kind of insults and denigration and division and i don't think it's working. i don't think it's going to work with the democrats need to be very careful not to fall into that trap. >> but i just don't see that is where it's why he is so desperate. >> i honestly honestly, i feel

bad for the woman susie wiles, who's running this campaign. i don't know her, but she seems like a total pro and i can tell when she's in charge they actually seem to be doing well and they talk about issues like jennings is trying to talk about immigration. >> but when trump is in charge, it's just this nutty at best and racist at worst pure trump scott, i want to play something that trump said to you on most last night you're the greatest qatar. >> i mean, i look at what you do. you walk in you want to go and i won't mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and used it. that's okay. you're all gun you're all gone. so every one of you has gotten the uaw union has now filed federal labor charges against foreign president mosque over those comments. but as a political matter, what does that, how does that play in michigan and pennsylvania

yeah, it's interesting because the republicans and even at the republican national convention have made a big deal about trying to court some of these labor unions now, i took it as a sort of a shot at the union bosses, but it is a fair question how rank and file union members members would take a comment like that? >> i mean, we had the head of the teamsters at the rnc and obviously a whole bunch of rank and file union workers are planning to vote for trump this year because they're not particularly fond of the economy are some of the economic policies of the biden administration. so it's a fair question. i don't know how many of them heard it, or we'll hear it or if this is going to become a focal point, but it's an interesting contrast to the according of union voters that has gone on in the trump era, the republican party everybody stick around more on what paul mentioned a moment ago, abortion plus what we're hearing are expecting to hear from donald trump tomorrow in north carolina, also tonight, cnn investigates a tech startup promoted by jd vance as a way to help people in eastern kentucky. >> what actually happened to the company, the workers and the future they were promised

states, including battleground, nevada cnn's jeff zeleny joins us now from asheville, north carolina, another potential battleground where donald trump will be speaking tomorrow. so what more do we know about the ballot measures in arizona and missouri? >> well, anderson, these ballot measures in both arizona and missouri are similar to ones we've seen in other states, i think back to ohio, think back to michigan. these are states that enshrined abortion rights into their state constitution. and voter first in these states of missouri and arizona will be asked the same question in november. but what it means politically likely is to drive an increase in voter turnout in november there were almost 600,000 signatures in arizona, some 577,000 or so, almost twice as many as needed to get on the ballot. the harris campaign believes that is a sign that there is big interest in this, and that could help her in arizona, of course, a very key swing state in the presidential race, also a critical senate race there as well. missouri, of course has long ago stop being a

battleground state in presidential contests, but it could still influence other statewide races there. so in all seven states, we have seen ask this question question of voters in some form since that dobbs decision, abortion rights groups have prevailed in all of them. of course, we will see if missouri and arizona follow that pattern. but it matters in this case because arizona, of course, at the center of this presidential race and trump is speaking in north carolina tomorrow he is he'll be coming here to asheville, of course, they blue part of north carolina. but the state of north carolina is increasingly back in play. of course, it was one of the seven battleground and states at the beginning of his campaign, as president biden struggled in the polls in recent months, it sort of fell out of the list of top battlegrounds. it is back now, how do you know the trump campaign is beginning to spend money here, like they have not done all year. they're spending money on ads, a super pac supporting the former president also our, he's coming here tomorrow to talk

about the economy specifically highlighting what he says as the economic hardship of the biden-harris administration. but the vice president, xi is coming to north carolina also on friday to it to a campaign on the economy as well. so anderson, there are so many signs tonight that north carolina is back in the hebrew the top battleground states. so, yes, the blue wall of michigan and wisconsin, pennsylvania, very important. but since she has joined the race, the battleground has expanded back to its original design anderson, jeff zeleny. >> thanks very much back with the panel, natasha. so jeff was talking about the ballot measures and arizona and missouri similar measures as he said, got it has gotten voters to the polls ever since roe v. wade was overturned. do you think that'll be the case in november yeah. >> i mean, i think that this is one issue that animates people across party lines, even if people aren't vocal or maybe not saying how they feel, it's so deeply personal. it's so

emotional for many people, the stories that we're seeing of women who are being denied life altering medical care due to these laws. and so i think that you will see people come out. it's been a winning issue for democrats, and it will continue to be because katelyn is such an effective communicator, an advocate for not just abortion, right? thanks. but this idea of reproductive freedom, as tim walz says, staying out of people's business, letting them live their lives. i think that message is resonating and it will trickle down when you talk about abortion paul, are the voters who will come out for abortion access. the same voters who are already energized by harris, his candidacy mean, does it bring anyone knew into the fold? >> i, think it does. i think detach was right, particularly younger voters were democrats before harris became the nominee were really, really doing poorly animate young

voters lower lower-propensity, young voters definitely, it will also, i think help kamala harris build a bridge to, a lot of suburban republican women who are really put off by trump's tone and tenor and really can't stand that his court overturned roe versus wade. >> you know, this isn't going away. natasha's right the american medical association issued a study back in january look at the 14 states that have the strictest abortion laws, states that have outlawed abortion, even in the case of rape. >> and they found 65,000 women in those states who had become pregnant by rape. >> now they stopped the study in january but god help us. the rapes haven't stopped, and the pregnancies haven't stopped and the need for abortion care hasn't stopped every single day. this continues as a personal tragedy, but also as a political issue. >> scott how do you. think this plays particular? i mean, the ballot initiative in arizona, does that make the race they're more competitive well, as a

high turnout election anyway, and if abortion rights are your number one issue, you're already turning out and likely already voting for harris. >> so these other ballot initiatives like in kentucky where i am in ohio and other states we're in off year, low turnout elections and they absolutely did make a difference. i do think on this issue, it's vital that trump really express his views on this and he has, and he's going to have to continue to do so and that is he has a pretty moderate position in the republican party. it's the old reagan position. he's pro-life, he believes in the three exceptions, rape, incest, and life the mother to paul's point he supports abortion rights for people who've been victims of rape. he strongly supports ivf. i mean, trump is actually set forth a very center cut, set of positions on this topic that a lot of americans are going to say, yeah, that sounds pretty reasonable to meet. it is true. his court overturned roe versus wade. that didn't do anything except return it to our political process and let states make decisions about local policy. but for trump's own personal position, he's not an extremist on this. he's

he's kind of moderate and i think he ought to make that case. that is natasha, do you think voters will believe that the former president is a moderate on abortion and won't do anything else once an office, if he gets elected all, i can say is that i'm as a millennial part of a generation that had rights when i was born. and now when i go to certain states, i don't have those rights. so we are talking about people who are living through feeling as if they're going backwards. >> and that is not progress for many americans. >> so i actually don't think he can downplay it. i think he's been very clear that he's proud to have played a part in roe v. wade being overturned. and so once you take that credit, you have to take the blowback that comes with that. and let's be clear, project in 2025 and similar groups are going after medical, medicine, abortion. most abortion takes place via medicine. they want to attack that they want to

attack. what many people rely on, what many people are actually in support of so public opinion is not in favor of where donald trump stands and where his party stands and i think we're going to see in november that people will come out for this issue what does it say to you that in north carolina you have an ad by the trump campaign and now the former president is going to be there tomorrow what a difference three weeks makes i mean, when the republicans were having their convention people were serious people were talking about trump winning minnesota hadn't gone republican in 50 years in a presidential election that we're talking about, trump winning new york, new jersey being a swing state. >> that was catastrophic. now we're right back to michigan was constant. pennsylvania in that blue wall arizona, nevada, and georgia and the south and now north carolina, again,

which barack obama did carry, it's not too much of a reach for democrats. >> but the thing that's, i think that's been fundamental is 75% of the country think we're moving in the wrong direction so genius me thinks change would be a very good message. >> well, democrats couldn't run on change when they had joe biden. and frankly, republicans can't run on change when they had donald trump, i'd never seen anything like it. neither party was running on the obvious message democrats are now running on change and they're going to have a convention all about the future versus the past. and that's right where i think worth carolina is. natasha alford, pole of a gala, scott jennings. thanks so much. still ahead. the hacking detected within both with both presidential campaigns and even a break-in at a trump campaign headquarters in virginia are the latest in both investigations. also a cnn investigation to what was supposed to be a high-tech farming startup, j.d vance wounds helped to fund the allegations of recalled nightmare conditions for workers, many of them were migrants before it failed meet

iraq donion government. and this was not only targeting the trump admin, trump, the trump campaign, but also the biden-harris campaign in june and july, the fbi did some briefings with the trump campaign and with the biden campaign about these attempted breaches. now in the case of the trump campaign it appears that this began with successfully fishing roger stone on somebody who used to advise the former president and using that that account, they were able to refine their targeting they're fishing campaign to be able to get to people inside the campaign and there is where it appears they were able to get some documents now, in the last few days you heard from news organizations, including the new york times, washington post saying that they had received outreach from someone who had documents that appeared to come from the campaign. now it appears that's what these documents were. these were campaign documents that they were able to get simply because someone

again, in person donated roger stone's account and was able to get a senior person inside the trump campaign to click on something and then get access to that to those documents. >> and then separately, there's this break-in at a trump campaign office in virginia is the latest on that right? >> the loudon county sheriff is investigating this break in which happened on sunday, anderson and what they don't know right now is whether anything actually was taken. you see there the photograph of the person that they're circulating that they believe was involved in this and the one things that they were focused on today was doing a sweep of the office to make sure that there was no surveillance equipment or anything left behind in the office. they said that they've been flooded with tips from the public after circulating this photograph right now again, it doesn't appear to be connected at all to what this hacking operation that happened. this is a trump campaign office they're an ashburn, virginia, but it also serves as a office for the local republican party.

the district out there in virginia john, i mean, i know people do a lot of stupid things when they're committing crimes. >> but i mean what do you make aid this break-in obviously seems think it's at all connected to the iranian alleged iranian scheme because i mean, this guy's not hiding his identity at all. >> know, and i mean anderson, you hit the nail right on the head in terms of investigative theory because the iranians went to great lengths and technical prowess was put to work to conceal their hand in these hacking operations. and some of the influence operations they have going on online and trying to affect the campaign. this individuals going into a building where the cameras are visible, where the lighting is good? he's got his big backpack on the front and his face clearly visible. if the if the watergate burglary, which was committed by pros was supposed to be a third rape burglary. i think this might be a fourth rape burglary because if he's local, they're going

to identify him before tomorrow they said they've gotten tons of tips office burglaries are usually not looking to get into the super secret campaign strategy more often looking for laptops things have value that you can stick in that backpack and sell later in john, just in terms of the hack, how are investigators able to tell who's behind it and what the goal is? but this is fascinating. i mean this is work that's been going on through the intelligence analysts at microsoft. i mean, think about the times we live in now where microsoft and google have to have their own intelligence operations. but those analysts have been following the anomalous activities that looks like hacking and they've been alerting the harris campaign, the trump campaign, the fbi, who's also been alerting them. but when you look at the idea that there are four or five news websites that have been constructed by iranian actors

according to these analysts, where they're mixing in wild propaganda meant to stir controversies about lgbtq issues, race issues police, election fraud, so on and so forth amidst regular news articles that they call from the internet, because they get a lot of traffic and then use janitor generative ai tools to change the phrasing so it doesn't look like they've plagiarized them and then they stick propaganda in-between them to the average viewer. they think i'm looking at a normal website. in the meantime, they're trying to hack into these campaigns as evan reported yesterday, they used roger stone with a middleman technique where when he clicked on something, it took him to a domain that accou somebody else clicked on what they thought he sent it to the same and they're trying to get things that are controversial out of those campaigns to add to those other sites the iranians don't want donald trump to get reelected. remember he killed qasem soleimani and they have

threatened to kill him and others about that. but they don't want kamala harris to get elected either. this is to stir the pot and to try and damage the process and keep americans at each other's throats as best they can and will quick were quick. one of the things that people forget is that they actually did this in 2020. i think a lot of people people forget that the iranians, the russians, and the chinese, everybody was on guard for them in the end in russia, the i'm sorry, the iranians were the only ones really that did anything and that's one of the things that i think the intelligence community escape has been keeping in mind is that they were expecting some more activity from the iranians perez john miller. >> thank you for the reporting. appreciate it. up next, a cnn investigation into what are called oh, what are being called nightmare conditions. and he failed farming startup that was promoted and partially funded by republican vice presidential nominee j.d. vance athens, greece on the deadly wildfires that quickly even threatening that he ancient capital tukey swamp. i'm sorry.

five good things. >> listen wherever you get your podcasts well as republican vice presidential nominee j.d. vance has been touting himself as a champion for the working class. a new cnn investigation finds that before entering politics, vance was an early investor in a high-tech farming startup that promised to provide jobs for local kentuckian's. the company ultimately failed and workers alleged they experienced, quote, nightmare conditions and were eventually replaced with foreign migrant workers, seen as kim lai has the story and that it was a nightmare that should have never happened that nightmare happened here at this nearly empty greenhouse in eastern kentucky appharvest of failed high-tech startup promised local workers a future but spiraled into broken promises. >> anthony morgan bought into the company's public pitch that it was for appalachia by appalachians way was being told

that hi guys, he's from here. >> thank you. wow he is j.d vance, the republican nominee for vice president. i will be a vice president who never forgets where he came from, leaning on his personal rise out of poverty to reach swing state voters as donald trump's running mate, i chose him because he's for the worker. he's for the people that worked so hard and perhaps weren't treated like they should have been. >> but before politics, vance was a venture capitalist and appharvest is first outside investor, eventually steering millions of dollars. so the company vance was a lead pitch man for the vertical farming startup tweeting. he was a supporter and investor writing, i love this company. >> it's a great business that's making a big difference in the world. >> the company's investor presentation pledged a commitment to appalachia estimating thousands of new jobs to a poverty stricken area yeah a major emphasis with them

was we want to bring work to eastern kentucky. this is why we are here morgan left a stable job to join appharvest as a crop care specialist, pruning the greenhouse grown vegetables a single father was six-year-old twins. the job rapidly turned when production fell behind under what, a dozen workers described to cnn as mismanagement, including dangerous conditions. employees filed multiple complaints to the state and federal government alleging heat exhaustion working in extreme temperatures and lack of water breaks. when the cases were all closed with no citations. >> i think about the hottest that i experienced was around 128 degrees in science couple days a week you'd have it won't show up and you seen people leaving on gurneys to go to the hospital. >> the cuts came next to

promised worker benefits and then born workers came in to fill those so-called local jobs. >> the second round of folks they brought him was focused on work and they didn't brian just a veyron fall. >> they brought bus loads, documents, show appharvest hired contract workers from outside the region. at one point, as many as 500. the majority of its workforce, not locals but that's not the image appharvest wanted the world to see this is kentucky senator mitch mcconnell visiting in 2021. >> mitch mcconnell come in through with a migrant workers there at the time you're laughing. >> i mean, i look at the video, it doesn't look like there's any hid these guys. >> they took them out of the plant i was gone and then mitch mcconnell's giving a speech

about all this work that i have. harvest is brought eastern kentuckian's i liked the idea of taking the debate of market awaiting the mexican so there were trying to hide the migrant workers specifically, yeah. >> this worker who asked not to be identified says the hiring of migrant workers became part of a mirage that appharvest was helping the region he took this video as his coworkers clapped for visiting investors and anytime they did that, they kept workers off the floor doing are like stationery parade while people come through and yeah, it was it was awkward having to stay in there and just be a prop a prop for what you know, look at all of these these poor folks were employing the worker says, it's impossible to forget about his time at appharvest as j.d vance ascends to national politics he's gotten away with

a lot of money and fame for pretending to be one of us. >> oh, wait, i know. >> he's just another grift just another carpetbagger, another tourist who wants to tell us what we are dance, lift the board in april 2021 to blame for this senate shortly after shareholders filed suit claiming they were misled by 2023 appharvest's had filed for bankruptcy a little more than two years after its public launch, but the workers and this failed startup say they are the real people in the vance story do you blame j.d vance for any of this i blame all other original investors at appharvest the original board of directors know what was common you would have had to have been an idiot, not ken law joins me now. >> so you said the vance left that board in 2021, did the

problems happen when he was still there? >> well, anderson cnn review of documents and interviews with a dozen former workers show that the problems emerged while vance was still a member of appharvest's board after he departed? he was still an investor and had more than $100,000 invested in the company according to disclosures now, in a statement that a spokesperson for vance said to cnn it says jd was not aware of the operational decisions regarding hiring, employee benefits, or other workplace policies which were made after he departed, appharvest's board, like all early supporters, jd believed in appharvest's mission and wishes the company would have succeeded anderson king lah. >> thanks very much coming up the latest on those fast-moving wildfires in greece that have come dangerously near the capital killed at least one person who have a live report from outside athens once upon a time, there was an infinity meticulously crafted to stir

capitol hill and the firefighters are still battling the worst wildfire of the year in greece. they began on sunday, quickly reach areas just outside of athens. massive smoke plumes like the ones you see there surrounding the parthenon non darken the skies of greece's capital, least one person is known dead thousands have been evacuated so far with new evacuation orders issued for an area near the capital just this morning, cnn's eleni giokos joins us from just outside athens. what is the latest learning? >> yeah, i understand this has been the worst wildfire of the season once so intense that people would describing as a furnace ripping through suburbs, very close to the city center law, around 11 miles a way to give you an idea of what's going on right now. you can tell it's not very windy. this is good news for firefighters are still watching

it very closely. there's still fire alerts. as we speak right now. but if the wind picks up, that is the big risk right now, it is under control and the hope that it will stay that way it is expected that we'll see more wins come wednesday, but we saw so many five trucks all around the affected areas trying to find spots of potential dangers, specifically plumes of smoke around 156 square kilometers of forest it has been decimated and it's absolutely devastating to see somebody on undergrad. a lot of people asking how a fire could move so fast over a 40 kilometer radius? >> did did they have warning yeah. >> they had a lot of warnings. i when it started in midday, sunday we saw evacuation orders coming in swiftly but what many people are complaining, complaining about is the fact that they felt that the initial response by a, and people on the ground wasn't effective

enough. however, authorities have said that they're fighting gale force winds and it almost becomes impossible. anderson, i've been covering fires for the last few years is very unpredictable, very difficult to contain specifically in forest areas when you have such strong winds speaking to some people on the ground. and this is very concerning hearing this choice. and one man state's mean, you know, i saw a fire at the top of the hill. i blinked and then suddenly it was in front of it took me and people had to flee these stories continue, but it's one of pain once of trauma, because this keeps on happening in greece on a yearly basis do authorities know what caused this wildfire yeah. >> i mean, climate change, of course, is to blame. we're seeing heat heatwaves not only hitting greece, but southern parts of europe and other parts of the world. we've been covering these stories for quite some time. it is expected its going to get worse. you've got prolonged heat waves. you have very dry areas. you don't have enough rain in the winter

season and then you've got those winds what is very concerning? is when you have forest area like this burnt around a city like athens, the long-term effects anderson a really harrowing, it's going to change the climates in the city, for residents as well as tourists in the long term big no-no. what that's going to look like. but if i think about the fires, we covered last year in parnitha, which is what was considered the lungs of athens of forest area. there was completely decimated that again, is just compounding the issue that every year we have these stories and it's affecting livelihoods. it's affecting businesses and homes for the first time ever. we saw fires he reaching so close to the city center of athens. and i think authorities are watching very closely of what that means in the future. >> eleni giokos, thanks, the news continues right here on cnn seen as you were saying, just such a remarkable change in the 2024 campaign, just overnight, you know, you and i
