5-year price lock guarantee. switch today for a limited tim. available now on the apple app store, android and m. taylor.com. >> tomorrow morning hours before the democratic national convention begins, jake tapper is live from chicago with illinois governor jb pritzker, house minority leader, hakeem jeffries, and new hampshire governor chris sununu, state of the union, my tomorrow morning you get nine you're in the cnn
3:01 pm
newsroom. >> i'm jessica dean in new york and i'm jim sciutto in tel aviv, israel negotiators from here, the u.s. and qatar are all urgently pushing for a ceasefire and hostage deal. with hamas. and the group from israel says it's cautiously optimistic the deal could come through. secretary of state antony blinken will leave for israel tonight to join the effort to get the deal across the finish line. so many obstacles remain, but i'll tell you, jessica enormous anticipation here we're going to get back to jim just a moment, but first back here in the u.s. >> donald trump is campaigning in pennsylvania tonight at a rally in wilkes-barre. he amplified his attacks on vice president kamala harris, reacting to her newly unveiled economic proposals. then to the chagrin of some allies and advisers, the former president, making it personal commenting on her looks as well. cnn's danny freeman traveling with trump tonight joining. us live from the campaign trail, a raucous crowd behind you,
3:02 pm
danny, what more are we hearing from the former president just kept this point from the president? >> speaking for well, over an hour. as you said to this raucous crowd and the big question that we all have as you alluded to, what he stayed on a specific message during this taking a rally after allies and advisers had hoped he would stick to issues like the economy, immigration, crime specifically to try and won some of the harris campaign it's momentum over the past several weeks. and while there were some lines that were specifically on those particular topics, and i'll get to the few of those in a moment but make no mistake. this was a rather normal trump rally and has been so far with a lot of laundering moments. and the crowd loved it. jessica largely been this was by no means on message rally. some of the things that he mentioned was he made fun of vice president harris's laugh. he also called her a lunatic and at 1.1, discussing a recent time cover magazine former president trump asserted that he's better looking than harris which the
3:03 pm
crowd laugh at and applauded as well. he also spoke at length about debates both upcoming and former ones. and then he still continued to speak a lot about president joe biden meghan no longer his opponent in this context. now, the few points that did stay typically i message brought a young man from venezuela to speak about the fears that he has of communism in the country. he also played an attack ad actually that ran on the jumbotron appear above us at one point, painting harris as a extreme liberal candidate. and there were a few new lines that we heard tonight, specifically addressing vice president harris's new economic plan that she released just in the past 24 hours. take a listen to part of what the former president said yesterday, she got up, she started ranting and raving. >> that donald trump wants to put a tax on gasoline thanks, sean food attacks on medication, attacks on flow than a tax on every single thing that was ever invented. you had, he's going attacks
3:04 pm
yes. shared these attacks is going to attach your wife is going to tax your husband so again, you see that even when he's speaking about some of these economic policies, he speaking about it in that way that we've come that's the to hearing from former president trump. >> i should say in friday, the harris campaign emphasized that they are tax plan is trying to cut taxes for the middle class and reduce costs the grocery stores. but former president trump said, well, if that's been her plan, why did you not do that already as part of the biden-harris administration? i would say that these these were the. primary examples of new issue focus the minds here for former president trump. but it is not been the majority of this now, our almost and a and-a-half speech that we've heard tonight wilkes-barre. jessica, a very typical trump rally there and he was referring to his proposal to enact ten to 20% more tariffs. >> danny freeman thank you so much for being with us for your reporting. we appreciate it. former house speaker, nancy
3:05 pm
pelosi is scheduled to speak at the democratic democratic national convention wednesday, but the first big keynote speech is going to go to president joe biden. that'll happen on night one of the dnc in chicago on monday. cnn's kevin liptack joining us now kevin, what else can we expect? from president biden's speech, which is really going to be i would assume, talking about his legacy and passing the torch onto kamala harris? >> yeah, very much so. and he is refining what exactly he'll say up at camp david this weekend. he's out there with a couple of aids, really sort of revising the words that he'll use in this capstone speech, which is really when you think about it the end of a long farewell for president biden to politics. and i say the start of that because it's have been emphatic that we will see plenty of president biden over the next five months. there'll be out campaigning for kamala harris, who will be working to cement his legacy. but at the the end of the day this speech that he will deliver on monday is not the speech he was planning to give. it's not the speech that he was hoping to give. and certainly i think the president is still processing in some ways that prolonged
3:06 pm
effort to remove him from the top of the democratic ticket. but when it comes to this speech and when it comes to the convention president biden does want to we'll look forward. want to look to the future, and what we have been hearing from biden aides is that he will really characterize kamala harris as the most natural inheritor of his legacy, and office and the person best positioned to carry on his accomplishments. he will make a proactive case for her from that convention stage talking about her record talking about her character, but he will also make the case against donald trump characterizing him again as the threat to democracy and saying that kamala harris is necessary to ensure as a biden aide said, that democracy is preserved. so that's a lot that he's going to try and fit in this speech when we did hear from him last night, as he was heading out to camp, david, he was a little more concise and describing his goals. listen to what he said work on this yes
3:07 pm
what's your message to democrats on monday night so when that's his message, when you talk to white house officials, they do say that president biden is extraordinarily proud of how the democratic party has coalesced around kamala harris no. small part because he was so quick to endorse her right out of the gate as soon as he withdrew from the race, i think what you'll see from democrats at the convention is a lot of signs of thanking president biden's. so there'll be mentions of his handling of the covid pandemic of his legislative accomplishments. they'll use those large screens inside the united center in chicago where the action is being held to broadcast some of his quotes, including the quote history is in your hands. that's something that he said in his oval office address explaining his decision to withdraw from the race kamala harris will be on hand on monday night as this passing of the the torch happens. but after we hear from president
3:08 pm
biden on monday, that's the last we'll see from him in chicago. he'll head out of town essentially handing over the convention to his chosen successor wow, so many twists and turns in this campaign season, kevin liptack. thank you so much for that reporting. we appreciate it. and let's turn now to our panel for more on this. joining me now former senior advisor for the trump 2016 campaign, jason osborne, and also with us. former communications director for vice president kamala harris, ashley etienne great to have both of you here with does to talk about all of this as we head into this critical week in this race, ashley, let's start first with you. we've got this new polling out from the new york times showing harris gaining ground in those key swing states in the sunbelt. it's a very tight race, no doubt about it. but she is the momentum does seem to be with her at this moment republicans have described these past few weeks is a honeymoon phase for harris with all the momentum we've seen, what are you seeing in this polling that
3:09 pm
indicates to you that this is more than a honeymoon phase, if you believe that listen, i can imagine the republicans are deathly afraid right now, shaking in their boots, they can come up with no defense, no attacks on kamala harris and none that will actually stick. >> she's not this is not a honeymoon phase. it's not a sugar highs. they've described it. she's trending up consistently trending up. it's only been in the race for three weeks and continues to trend up she's outpaced biden with our core base that 2020 coalition that he built. you know, there's other polls. cbs is polls showing that she's not losing any ground with white man. that's got to be making them completely afraid of the possibilities of donald trump but if you look at, if you look at former president trump, he's actually kept out. he's not increasing his numbers. he doesn't have any more customers. it's great that he can fill fill a crowd there as these locations. but the reality is his target audience
3:10 pm
of people he needs to appeal to are not in those rooms and they're turned off by donald trump. there over the trump show. and that's what all this momentum is about behind kamala harris right now. it's not just a cheese, a breath of fresh air and alternative, but people are demonstrating that they're completely over donald trump and jason look before harris got in this race, most of those states we just laid out looked like they were getting farther, further and further out of reach for democrats than trump was looking really strong in those states what, what do you attribute this swing to? >> and do you think how do you think trump could blunt that momentum if it's possible? >> well, i think polls at this stage in the game really serve two purposes. the one they inspire your base, they invigorate your base, but the other one is really from a campaign perspective as you're testing messages out, you're looking at the cross tabs and you're looking at some of the concerning areas where you're losing support are gaining support depending on the message such that you have. and when you, when you do these kind of national polls, but
3:11 pm
you're sampling could be off a little bit here and there. i mean, those are the kind of things of the campaign looks at without a doubt, there's no question that kamala harris has benefited over the last four weeks it nobody can dispute that. what i'm actually a little bit surprised about is the numbers aren't a complete one a.d. from where they were with donald trump and joe biden. that given the amount of attention that she has received, and our vice president has received and to be honest, the negativity that trump and vance have put out there, i would expect numbers that would be outside the margin of error and none of these polls are outside the margin of error. so at this point, i don't think there's a lot of concern but if we start seeing some of these numbers and mid-september, mid to late september then you know, then there's going to be a lot of concern for sure and jason, i do want to ask you with these specific numbers, a lot of her momentum is being driven by female voters and i just talked to a pollster few minutes ago
3:12 pm
who said that she's also talking to independent women and independent female voters who are starting to break harris his way again, these are the voters she's talking to not to speak for everyone. >> but when you when you factor in that as a trend line and we just saw the former president saying tonight, i'm better looking than kamala harris. those lines of attack, do you think that's the way to get at these women that he's going to need to win in november no hundred percent, no. >> i think right now, honestly, if you look at what we what the american public had been presented with in terms of this is a new candidate, this is a snap election like we're seeing around the world. normally in other countries that they feel good about the fact that you have the first woman or my nauta second, i apologize to hillary clinton. the second woman running for president on a major party ticket. but once we start peeling back the layers of that onion and we start looking at some of these
3:13 pm
policies. and if the trump campaign can talk about these policies, i mean, this price gouging policy is it's kind of terrifying in many ways, right you look at some of the previous statements that she has made on another issues like defunding the police on fracking. i mean, the list goes on and on and on that almost overnight. there's a move to be 180 degrees different than she was for 34 years ago. once that starts coming out and once i've got quite frankly and on a campaign side of things, you look at after labor day is really when the campaign starts heating up because families now the kids are back in school, families are back to work. there's no more vacations and they're really starting to pay attention to their pocketbooks through their daily lives. and i think that's when you'll start seeing some calmness in the polls. and you'll see this really was never going to be an outright winner heading into november this was always going to be close no matter who the candidates were on the dem side and ashley, the polling shows that trump still holds an edge over who voters think can best
3:14 pm
handle the economy, which time and time again, they're telling us they say is their top issue. >> we saw the vice president rollout. some policy, some economic policies on friday some of them have been criticized, including the one on price gouging by jason furman, a top economist in the obama administration called that particular policy, saying it could hurt consumers and hopes he hopes that it ends up being more rhetoric than reality. others have gotten other policies have gotten a warmer response, but democrats seem very happy with what she rolled out. do you think that these policies can bring people over her to support her to make voters think she is more capable of handling the economy than trump yeah, absolutely. i think the one thing i can agree with my republican friend here on the show is that the polls are all of the place you can the financial times poll showed that more americans trust kamala harris with the economy
3:15 pm
than they do donald trump's. >> so the polls are all over the place, but it's going to come down to whether they're not democrats can effectively remind people of 2020 and that's when donald trump's tax cut added $8 trillion to the deficit when 2 million women dropped out of the workforce, right when when we had no infrastructure to address a covid and he was putting forth no effort to do that and the entire economy was shut down. he had net negative job creation. he oversaw the worst economy in modern times. so democrats are going to have to lean in on that issue. now, you asked me whether or not our policies are going to have resonance in these key battleground states absent so luckily, you look at a state like nevada that has a dual challenge of having corporate landlords run a muck combined with the fact that there's a lack of space to build new housing. these types of
3:16 pm
policies that she's rolling out to decrease the cost of housing decrease the cost of of groceries shiri's and other issues that are affecting our pocketbooks is going to have incredible, great resonance. the other thing i will point out is donald trump's not talking solutions. every time he gets on stage, he uses it as an opportunity to attack, attack our lab, attacked her looks, not talk about policy. when we talk about those independent women, they consistently said one thing they want wants to hear policy discussions. they don't want to hear donald trump's attacks. and more importantly, the advantage that kamala harris has is they believe that the threat that donald trump represents is that their daughters would have fewer rights than they do and so to have the vice president lean and not on economics, but on this issue of reproductive rights and other rights that are threatened the woman is going to play to her advantage, not just in those battleground states, but across the country with independent and disaffected republican voters and jason, i do want to ask you about the trump campaign hiring corey corey lewandowsky and
3:17 pm
some other alums to come back to this campaign. >> he was part of the trump 2016 campaign, which of course we noted you worked look, don what do you make of those personnel moves well, i think this is typical donald trump, right? >> i mean, i think you had this happen in 2016 when there were three iterations of campaign leadership, you had it. i believe you had it in 2020 in some form or fashion you know, i think there is this cast of characters that are in quote, unquote, trump world that donald trump relies on for advice whether or not they are have been part of the organization or outside the circle. and i think i know some of the other names that were mentioned in there i don't know what that does internally i don't know if that's more of a firming up the base to try and get the base out to vote. but certainly, i think the two people that have been in charge of this campaign, chris lacivita and susie wiles are probably two of the best campaign operative operating in
3:18 pm
this country. and the republican plus already and have been for a number of years. so as long as they're still in the mix, i think that, you know, donald trump has a really good chance of making sure that the votes get out there and early voting as well as election day voting. >> all right. jason osborne and ashley etienne, we have to leave it there, but i really appreciate both of you thank you. thank more to come in the cnn newsroom, including jim sciutto, who is live in tel aviv. jim well, negotiators from three countries plan to convene again next week as meter mediators express some cautious optimism i'm about a gaza ceasefire and hostage deals. >> but to be frank lots of obstacles remain in questions will be back in just a moment cnn is live from chicago as democrats unite to offer their support to a new nominee and her running mate fellow cnn for

essays conquer 300. thank you notes. >> over what e right? the smooth writing, longest lasting gelling pin in america g2 i'm tom foreman in washington this is cnn so this is what we're hearing on the ongoing negotiations over a ceasefire deal. israelis say they are cautiously optimistic that according to the israeli prime minister's office, the white house says similar things. and secretary of state antony blinken is heading to israel today. he is one of several diplomats are racing to get a deal done as the potential for an attack from iran or perhaps hezbollah as well continues to loom over this region. and these talks, nic robertson joins us here in tel aviv. so
3:24 pm
nick, as we watch this game play out here and it's quite a consequential one, but a familiar one as the sides negotiate, we hear cautious optimism from these real please, and from the u.s hamas is not saying the same thing. and when i spoke to a senior hamas official, did not even want to go down to the path of discussing some of the issues here. so what is hamas is actual approach and position now to the best of our knowledge, to the best of our knowledge, they support what president biden the framework that he laid out in may, and that went all the way through to early june and the late july, there was a agreement there, u.n. security council resolution 111, 7735, i believe that there's a three-phase approach. this is the thing we've been talking about for a long time. each phase is six weeks. the first six weeks as a hostage release of all females or the injured although elderly the following six weeks, there's the release of the male prisoners and then after
3:25 pm
that, it would be the bodies of hostages in conjunction with that, you have a ceasefire and then you get to a permanent end of hostilities. now, there is a difference. it seems in language around how you get between that ceasefire to the permanent end of hostilities and what it would mean. but there were other more significant sticking points at that hamas blames on prime minister netanyahu. and that is an, as an insistence that armed men or women and cannot go return home to the north of the country, hamas wants free movement of people and all the israeli troops out. and importantly, the control of the border with egypt's, is it fair to say? and i should note that some of this criticism comes from inside this country itself. is it fair to say that the israeli leadership is throwing up its own room? roadblocks to getting a deal across the finish line. >> it's not just the perception that hamas has a perception here more than two thirds of people here are about two-thirds, say that they're
3:26 pm
ready for a hostage deal. they want to have a hostage deal. now then they're not worried about precisely what it looks like. the country is ready for it, but there's a feeling that the prime minister isn't because his hard to principal, hard-right members of his government threaten to collapse his government if he goes for a deal with his anything short of what he said, which has complete destruction of hamas and that will put him out of power if he was out of power, than he would be liable for prosecution sean, number of ongoing cases. so the argument by hamas, by his detritus here is that netanyahu is holding on for his own political safety, if you will, own security, his own future is his personal decisions overriding the will of i'm just very briefly before we go, but you've been here for a number of weeks now, is it safe to say that the concern surgeons at least today about an escalation and expansion of this war. and imminent strike from iran or hezbollah has dissipated somewhat as these talks continue. >> yes. but how long that will last, particularly given what hamas is saying, particularly what officials in tehran are
3:27 pm
saying as well that the united states is siding with israel they're not they're not an independent arbiter in all of this. >> it can all spiked back up again. look whether where the conversation's get this week around the negotiations, this coming week, i think are going to be critical if we're at this point next weekend and the mood music is not so good then the likelihood of a strike goes back up. and as we know, you can often be surprised, right? one side can surprise the other. nic robertson. thanks so much. jessica dean back in new york will continue to stay on top of developments here as they happen. >> all right. jim and nic. thank you very much. a deadly hurricane churning through the atlantic. islam in the east coast with high surf and dangerous rip tides that have already killed two people we're going to take you to miami as snake hunters from across the country converge on florida to remove as many invasive pythons as possible that's right here in the cnn newsroom cnn this

3:33 pm
it kinda sides scrapes some of these canadian islands with some intense winds and some heavy rain. and you can see that there as we go through the next couple of days. so really wrapping up the weekend and going into early next week, these winds will also kick up significant wave heights as they've been doing. we've been seeing swell there's already caused some problems with erosion, even a home coming into the shore there off the coast of north carolina on the outer banks, rip currents are huge concern from miami up to me. look at all the red for a high risk of recurrence that means that we're looking at some pretty large swells, intense waves. and again, the water is just dangerous. a lot so beaches saying please don't go in the water. so if you find yourself in a rip current do not fight the current, the current takes you out to sea. you cannot swim directly to shore. you need to swim faster than an olympic swimmer to do that. you have to swim parallel to the shore to come out of the rip current. and then what since you're out, then you can swim back to shore safely in a
3:34 pm
much better way. but things to remember, again, if you see red flags on the beach, just don't go in the water, jessica. >> all right. a good tip. their elisa rafah for us. thanks so much. if you are in the market to buy or sell a home you might want to listen up this weekend, a new set of rules goes into effect, changing how real estate professionals make money and it could upend how americans buy and sell homes. cnn's jason carroll has more on this a national shift is coming in. the real estate market. >> i think this is going to be a good thing, one that has barbara goddard feeling good about putting her house, which she built from the ground up in brunswick, georgia, up for sale next month. >> i'm optimistic that definitely optimistic, optimistic is not how real estate agent just like dianne traverse. >> so when monmouth county, new jersey would describe her mood as of late, i think a lot of people are mad that this is even taking place on august 17, new industry rules go into effect, which could lead to
3:35 pm
lower costs for some selling or buying homes. >> how? by reducing commissions paid two real estate agents. >> i never thought it was very fair for the seller to have to pay for the buyers commission their agent's commission. it didn't seem to make a lot of sense to me no. >> sellers it's like goddard won't have to, thanks to a federal jury, which ruled the national association of realtors and large brokerage firms, had conspired to keep commissions high as a result, the decades old financial arrangement where sellers pay not only their broker's commission but also the commission for the buyer's agent will be gone for example, under the previous arrangement, a home sells for nearly $427,000. the median price in the united states, the seller would typically pay a 6% commission, 3% to each agent, more than $26,000 under the new rules seller would end up paying half that, just 3% to
3:36 pm
their agent. but it could go down even more because listing realtors no longer will set commissions for both agents. buyers can shop around and could get a lower percent. goddard has already calculated what she could save a little over $12,000 i will say by not paying for the buyer's agent commission. that's $12,000. that's a lot of money to me. >> but for perspective, buyers going forward, they will now have to sign a written agreement that their agent will be paid before going to see homes, you know, no one likes change so about change, we like it if it's good change, right? >> well, it could be good eventually it's like working out some of the kinks dianne to reverse those says it's common practice for realtors like her to negotiate commission under the new rules, she has concerned some new homebuyers with limited income will now be on the hook for more costs at closing. >> we do whatever we can to help our clients and now we're
3:37 pm

convention. >> monday at seven on cnn, and streaming on max tonight ukraine is releasing stunning new video of a massive strike inside russia. this video here shows ukrainian forces destroying a critical bridge in russia's kursk region. there's the blast potentially a blow to russian supply lines as ukrainian forces continue to push further into russian territory, russia's foreign ministry claims that ukraine likely used u.s supplied high himars rockets in this attack joining us now to discuss retired lieutenant colonel alexander vindman and his brother retired colonel eugene vindman, both born in ukraine. eugene is also a democratic candidate for congress. now, in
3:43 pm
virginia, good to have you both on, gentlemen. thanks so much for joining thank you, jim alex, you of course, covered this issue quite closely as the former nsc director for european affairs, i wonder what your read is of ukraine's goal with this attack. clearly it has put russia on its backfoot. clearly it is required russia to move forces from the eastern front to respond to this attack. what is your view of the longer-term goal of this? and could it include a potential trade for russian occupied territory? ukraine so i'll tell you that like pretty much all analysts, western analysts, at least i was quite skeptical about the kursk operation. >> i think the fact is that the ukrainians are pretty hard pressed in areas of the battlefield, especially in the southeast. and i was sir? and about our drawing off forces that would be important to the
3:44 pm
defense in that area but i worry about 12 days into this kursk operation. and so far, the ukrainians have executed masterfully they've put enormous pressure. they've embarrassed putin. they put significant pressure on the russian forces, drop off forces in other parts of the ukrainian battlefield. maybe not in this most critical area, but it looks like that's on the horizon and they're going to continue to take territory even 12 days in russia hasn't been able to balance the equation and fortify its positions and prevent the ukrainians from taking ground if the ukrainians are able to draw forces off its most critical area in the southeast, i mentioned, this will be declared a master masterstroke with ukrainian to having both a strong bargaining chip a better tackle position, and really frankly a way forward that will allow ukraine to be successful. the rest of this year and into next year.
3:45 pm
>> yeah i mean, it certainly has changed the impression of the state of the war because prior, as you well know that the raid was that ukraine was on its backfoot losing ground and the eastern front i'm not clear what was going to change that balance. eugene, russia is saying it was likely us made weapons used in the strike on the bridge. that reason, of course, that's important because it knows the u.s. itself has been concerned about the use of u.s. supplied weapons and attacks on russian territory, which other we should note other nato allies have not put any restrictions on that do you think this gives us officials pause i don't think so, jim, i think what we've seen over the course of the last 12 days is that this has become a really permissive environment for the ukrainians. >> there are some caveats about what weapons can be used where, but generally speaking, the ukrainians are eliminating the safe harbor that the russians have enjoyed. so for a year and
3:46 pm
change. we've seen ukrainian longer than that, frankly, ukrainian drone strikes into russian deep areas but the russians have never had to worry in the past about ukrainian incursions significant incursions like this that looks like a multi brigade operation, potentially a divisional operation, into their territory. and subjecting their lines of communication, lines of control they're bases in the rare air logistics really in danger of ukrainian attacks. and this is going to put a significant strain on russian forces already has we've seen sort of difficulty in russians responding. it's been 12 days. you would have thought that a major superpower would been able to kick ukrainian forces after years out and they haven't been able to do that. so it's put a lied to this idea of that russian rear areas are secure alex,
3:47 pm
it's certainly rich for any russian officials to object to such an invasion, given we're two-and-a-half years into russia's invasion of ukraine here's into its partial invasion going back to crimea and eastern ukraine in 2014, what blow do you think this has struck alex first to you and eugene to you? >> do you have thoughts as well to putin's leadership well, i think at this point, putin is still enjoys fairly plentiful support. >> but there are some indicators i've seen some polling data as best as it's able to be collected on social media platforms. that shows that dip and certainly it removes this idea that russia remains invulnerable to attack. not just like an attack by, let's say, your peers, the u.s nato. but it's now suffering the consequences of its action. reaping the world when with regards to an incursions onto
3:48 pm
its own territory. in a way, this is the first attack from a foreign power on russia since world war ii. >> and this sends a message that russia is vulnerable. >> it also opens up other theaters potentially you think about the fact that russia is holding a frozen conflict, but conflict in terens neisseria on molded in moldova that's adjacent to ukraine, that may now be in play to russia has to be concerned about its holdings there too. i think in general it really complicates russia. i wouldn't overstate the military dimension of it yet. it's really looking quite positive yet, but we won't know that for another several weeks until we see what the russians have to do to respond to this incursion. >> but so far so good for the ukrainians jim, i would add the time but please quickly before you go then sorry. >> yeah i would just say that this is a profound humiliation to vladimir putin and the russian military and that just
3:49 pm
bring it closer to home for a second, as i was at the american legion here locally. and for classic republicans, i'm not talking about maga ideologues our standing up to vladimir putin, to dictators around the world is frankly very important for those folks that are interested in my policy on this, please go to vindman for congress.com thank you, jim retired colonel eugene vindman retired lieutenant colonel alexander vindman. >> thanks so much to both of you. we will have more news when we come back the tempur-pedic breeze make sleep, feel cool. so no more sweating all night or blasting the air conditioning because the temper breeze feels up to ten degrees cooler all night long, don't miss our biggest sale of the year with psg he thinks up to $700 on select adjustable mattress and that is your dog telling you they may have allergic apa quell is the number one treatment for

3:54 pm
being here with us. >> this is kind of wild, i think to a lot of people who've never heard of it before, we don't live in florida how does this hunt work? it's a one-week every year. and we know that pythons can lay up to 100 eggs a year that's correct. >> large female can get up to 100 100, 200 eggs. these animals were introduced to our south florida environment through the pet trade years ago, there's estimated to be tens of thousands of them in the everglades. and what they're doing is they're really depleting our natural environment, that they are eating a lot of the small mammals that record though, the rabbits, they're changing environments by doing so, they possess tremendous threats to other native wildlife birds roosting birds, nesting birds even alligators. they've been seeing eating alligators, so they, they present a big problem it's kind of what we're watching it now. >> and for people who like snakes, this is probably great for others. it may be a bit chilly but what i noticed you saying was that they were they aren't native to florida. they
3:55 pm
were introduced there by people having them as pets that's exactly right. >> you know, south florida is very unique as far as the country goes, it's kind of like the ellis island of exotic animals. you know, if you have a pet pipe in new york or michigan and it escapes the first one it's did. it escapes here in south florida or is released here in south florida? it's like coming to club med for pythons. so what they do is they find each other, then all of a sudden you've got these pythons reproducing, keep in mind south florida has more non native reptiles than they have made of ones. and this is all due to the petri so this is a big issue right now, and this is python challenge his fate basically meant to raise awareness about the danger of these exotic non-native species. >> yeah, it's this isn't only in florida kind of story, it feels like but ron, thank you for helping us understand it and learn a little something along the way. we appreciate it always a pleasure. thank you. have a good weekend former president trump and vice president harris are still essentially tied at four key states in the sunbelt is new polling reveals, this races
