10:01 pm
spot another grizzly bear near the road. >> this is as close as we've gotten so far and how far away do you think we are? more than 100 yards were forced four other distance as soon as word spreads that there's a bear here and people start getting antsy. they start moving around real quick and that's exactly what you're not supposed to do if people parked in the middle of the street temporarily lose your mind it's like if you're walking down the street in new york city in some incredible celebrity like taylor swift as walking down the street. the entire block goes crazy, right? >> yeah. this is like the taylor swift of yellowstone see more of ed's report and a new episode of the whole story, close encounters tourists in the wild airing this sunday night at 8:00 here on cnn. >> the news continues right here on cnn outfront next, we will win. >> those are the exact words from a competent kamala harris today. that's her quote as trump allies begin to panic publicly saying, wake the f up,
10:02 pm
we are losing plus more breaking news. rfk junior about to appear with trump for the first time since kennedy dropped out of the race, throwing his support behind trump, his cousins, stephen kennedy smith, who is bad backing harris is my guest tonight. and then this picture worth 1,000 words or more. i mean, that's really what stood out to me when i saw it overnight. her great-niece harrison great nice in the front row at the dnc watching history unfold. let's go outfront and good evening. >> i'm erin burnett out front tonight. we're going to win that is the exact quote from vice president kamala harris tonight speaking for the first time since her historic convention speech it is clear that harris is entering what is now the final stage. i mean, right them convention is done. now it is the runway to election day and she has
10:03 pm
incredible burst of momentum as she enters the stage democrats saying that they've raised 7.2 million just during her acceptance and speech alone, a little over half an hour, some $0.2 million. and then over the past week that the entire span of the convention, more than $100 million. these are unprecedented numbers that's the reality of it. and could explain some of the panic talk that we are hearing from the trump side of things tonight. listen to trump ally and conservative tv host eric bolling. he posted this video with the caption, wake the f up we're losing you're losing. >> we're losing the race. we're losing the presidency, adding doozy asm level on the left, right now is overwhelming. they're trying to say that the democrats are the patriots. they're wearing camo hats with kamala harris is name on it, camouflage. that's ours i've known eric bolling for a long time back back in the day and you know what he's obviously believes, what he's saying there. >> that harris-walz camo hat
10:04 pm
that eric mentions by the way, it's sold out until october i mean, you think in this day and age you could get one of those things. just order a whole another batch and they come in a couple of days. so this just gives you a sense of the reality out there as for the former president, trump is about to hold a rally any moment now, in arizona, rfk junior is going to be with him, so they're appearing for the first time today, rfk junior suspended his campaign endorsing trump kennedy telling reporters the trump had asked him to quote, enlist him in his administration. now the latest swing polls show kennedy with five or 6% of the vote. and so when you think about it overall, you may say, well that's not a big deal. actually, if that is the case in swing states, it is huge, it is everything. it is more than the margin between harris and trump in some of those same states kristen holmes is at the trump event in glendale, arizona, and kristen, you broke this news and rfk junior is going to be with trump on stage tonight where you are what more are you learning yeah it's not surprising, erin, because obviously we saw rfk endorsing
10:05 pm
donald trump after he suspended his campaign earlier today. >> this is seemed like it was a long time coming and i want to go through exactly how we got here and what it will mean for the general election race going into november, right before the rnc, we know that these discussions started happening between donald trump's team, as well as rfk's orbits specifically on donald trump's side, it was don junior tucker carlson and a man named omeed malik. omeed malik, who is a donor for both rfk jr. and donald trump. they continue to broker these talks and particular, this became a almost emergency situation when kamala harris was moved to the top of the ticket because there was a belief among trump's orbit that any votes that rfk was going to take from either candidate, we're likely to come from donald trump more so than kamala harris, something you heard rfk saying today that it became apparent to him that in these battleground states, he was actually taking more votes from donald trump, wall amplify those kinds of conversations and that's how we
10:06 pm
ended up here today, particularly after it became clear that there was really no path to the white house for rfk junior now, i've heard a lot of democrats play this down today saying that it's not that important. he has had a very controversial campaign and obviously we know that is true. this is a man who sat down for vanity fair article and brushed off questions of allegations of sexual assault with a nanny. he's also a man who admitted to leaving a bear cub carcass in central park and that is just some of what we heard during during his short-lived campaign. but this could have an impact on the election, as you said, particularly in those margins just remember, this is going to be an election both sides will say this. that is going to be determined by razor thin margins and any kind of movement of that needle will help just want to say one quick thing and then i'm going to let you go. i know i'm taking up your time, but here in arizona sampled most recent polling shows rpg your head 6%, donald trump, 42%, harris, 45%,
10:07 pm
that 6%, even if you've got some of that certainly move the needle moving forward. >> this is a critical battleground state. >> yeah, when you lay out those numbers, that is important. all right. kristen, there at that rally, were there about to take the stage together? we're going to see when they do and what rfk says. so you could hear it, obviously that is an important moment as we get into this final days of this election. alright, everyone's here with me, philip bump. so, you know, let's just go through what kristen just laid out. okay. so arizona rfk was pulling 6% and this is in the new world of a harris trump rivalry, 42%, trump 45% harris 6%. if that goes to trump would, would obviously when it for him now, maybe all six won't go. maybe the people who already like harris already left that rfk group. it's unclear, but it shows how much it could matter. >> yeah. exactly right. i mean, i think the broader question here is lots of things can matter, right? and this could be one of those things. i think there are three things i would keep in mind. the first is that when we're talking about a
10:08 pm
third party candidate, a lot of those people are loosely attached to partisan candidates in the first place and i'm probably a lot of them are likely to just stay home. right. so that's 6%. i don't think that's 6%, for instance, trump, there's two other things here. the first days are there trump supporters were sort of iffy on trump, mostly sporting. was that only cares who see rfk so joining administration are like, oh, no, i'm not i can't support that rfk is a very controversial person. it is possible that he can pull some trump support from trump. and then of course there's basically someone handed donald trump and unpinned hand grenade. no one knows what robert kennedy is going to do. no one knows what else is going to come out about him. i think it's likely something else well, and then all of a sudden trump is accountable form. until this point, trump could say he's not my guy. i have nothing do with him. >> now as team. >> okay. so here's the thing on this in five to 6% in the swing states. so dave wasserman from the cook political report, senior editors there he was talking to the new york post and he told them this was interesting when i said made point that these polls are all post harris being in the race,
10:09 pm
right? he said most of kennedy's left-leaning support had already disbursed to harris so this could represent a meaningful benefit to trump. he's talking about the rfk endorsement. what do you think about that? i mean, he's saying in these five weeks, these rfk numbers are the people who just won't go for harris possible. >> so here's my thought about it and not to trivialize it because you're right, five and 6% is meaningful and it's meaningful if these are high propensity voters, which i don't think there's any evidence that they are the people that are supporting rfk. i mean, let's be clear the dow there, the three of them trump-vance and rfk, they are eight audrey trifecta they are weirdos. they are crazy and extreme. and the folks who buy into that rfk's crew are the anti-vaxxers, right? they are the extreme of the extreme. and those folks tend to be antiestablishment, antigovernment, and low propensity voters, right? so it is unlikely that they're all going to show up i animated. right. so i'm not concerned at all yet. i think that the them
10:10 pm
can go and hang onto whatever they're gonna do. but unless they find some kind of spark, which i don't think they can. they're not going to be able to overcome what harris has created in terms of enthusiasm. >> marc lotter, what do you think about that point? >> well, look this, this election came down to 43,000 votes in three states. so any movement of the needle, 1% here, a few thousand votes there changes the outcome and i think kamala harris had already siphoned off most of the left left-leaning voters for rfk junior she got into the race, which means the majority of the remaining are either truly independent or likely to be leaning trump. and the trump campaign things and their internal polling shows 55, 6% of those remaining five, 6% are trump supporters. and that's a huge deal in states that were cited headed by 1011000 votes. absolutely. now when you talk about some of those people who might be leaning trump lulu, then you have to get at does it
10:11 pm
matter what they kennedy and trump actually seen you think about each other before this detente, we're going to appear together. they actually it's spoken about each other. here's what kennedy has said about trump please. >> things that president trump has done, that are balling president trump presided over the greatest restriction on individual liberties. this country has that renom him overthrowing, trying to overthrow the election clearly is threat to democracy george. why i'm running mean, lulu you know, a couple of those things were an interview i did with him, me. he believes those things so first of all, let me say that rfk sr. is turning over in his grave i just want to note that for the record because you know, rfk jr. has capitalized on that name and push forward his campaign. and
10:12 pm
the fact of the matter is is that he's a political opportunist, and that is very clear by the fact that he was also in talks with kamala harris's campaign to see what kind of position he could get there. they weren't playing ball and so he went to trump and the record is very clear in what statements he's made. the fact is though, that they do have a lot in common, there is a very deep strain of conspiracy theories is that run through there. a lot of rfk junior's supporters are trump curious i'm not convinced though, that this is going to be that meaningful. i do think that these are low propensity voters. think when you're talking about 55% to 45%, where they break either way, nobody knows this isn't a good has been pulled very clear mostly, it isn't a group that's been followed very closely. and so i'm not convinced that this is going to be determinative this brings me to the point that, that we were playing eric bolling sort of, you know, you can talk about a percent here and there and to the point, like it all matters but then there's the big picture of
10:13 pm
maybe a dozen because this is the situation that the whole thing appears to be in let me just play eric bolling you're losing. we're losing the race. we're losing the presidency and louisiana level on the left, right now is overwhelming. they're trying to say that the democrats are the patriots. they're wearing camo hats with kamala harris as seam on it camouflage. that's ours. >> i mean it is sort of the image and a statement though that does say a lot, right? that, that, that is this whole taking patriotism bad for the democrat. he is honing in on something significant. >> and it's something of the democratic convention went out of its way to highlight, right, andy, you've had all those usa signs. if you think about what signs you saw the mossos this once i said usa and it is attempt not necessarily to reclaim patriotism for the democrats, but instead to neutralize it. and you do what adam kinzinger said in his speech yesterday, say, you got, two patriots to, let's set that off the table. and then let's also think about what donald trump did after 2020 through the lens of patriots. i
10:14 pm
do think it's worth noting to boeing's point, like we also have polling that excludes kennedy from the picture. we have head-to-head polling on harris and trump. and that polling still shows harris leading even after kennedy's out of the picture it's the question i think we get to what that is. is this a moment where we've reached where the campaign is going to be, or is this momentum that is going to propel harris to have a larger lead over the next few days. if that's the case then this can be really doesn't. >> what do you think mark about the camo hats into point that eric bolling is making well, and i've done a long time. >> i consider him a friend, but i've been doing this for 20 years and i think he's wrong actually, when you look at the polling, you look at the polling averages, right now. kamala harris is trailing job biden was by 567 points, both nationally and in the battleground states. and that's a real problem for kamala harris and in what way now hats, not the overall polls. what i'm just to give you can say, just real clear politics when you look at the
10:15 pm
real clear, when you look at the real clear politics average, which averages out obviously, a lot of the polls. >> she's trailing where joe biden was at this point in 2020 by 567 points, both nationally and in the key battleground states. and again, i raised that came down to 43,000 votes. you can have a 567 point shift and the camo hats. i mean, good. try they flooded the arena with flags and you usa, they were burning usa flags outside of their convention and none of them were wearing maga hats. >> lulu, let me ask you about the point that mark made and thank you, marc for explain that because he's obviously not talking about where biden was prior to harris getting in the race, but where at 20:20 at this point is that a reason as mark lays it out? for concern i mean, it's a reason for concern, of course, but i don't think that this is the 2020 race. >> i think we're in a very different race, and i think that kamala harris is a very different candidate. we are in a moment and you saw that during the democratic convention, where people are
10:16 pm
elated, they are impassioned in 2020 that was not the case. yes, it was very much like let's beat trump the message from the democratic convention that is so interesting. they did not at any point say we want, we exclude anyone. we demonize republicans. we don't want them. we think that they're extremist. they were using very inclusive language and really pinpointing trump as the problem, not people in his party, not people who might follow him. that is a really clear distinction to what the republican party did during their convention. and generally, and donald trump himself, who really tried to paint the opposition in the way that you've heard him talk. i hate them. they're bad people we don't want them. i i heard i should obviously i'm sure you agree with lulu in the sense that you don't it's not the same race as 2020. but what about the point that marc points out? i mean, it is interesting if you compare the polling to say that she is because it doesn't from the world that we're in, it doesn't feel that way. it's really doesn't feel this way on a friday after that
10:17 pm
convention, but it is interesting and we'll see what those numbers show in the next few days. >> honestly, i feel like that's apples to oranges, right? this is not the same race, this is many years later the campaign strategy is completely different than the candidate is completely different and i think that if you really look at what happened at the convention, this was an opportunity to marginalize donald trump and the five people that he hangs out with, right? not to say everybody's all but to say those folks are weird, they're not like us. and us are americans. we are patriots. and this is a big tech, right? those folks are kind of a sideshow that's very different than the conversation that was happening in 2020, which was they are bad for democracy and he's actually a huge problem now we're saying there actually a very pretty small faction of society. let's kind of ignore them marginalize them, push them aside, and let's all come together as americans message. >> all right. all thank you very much. yeah. yeah. go ahead. marc others say the one thing we did not hear at the convention was dealing with people's high prices of gas groceries, and securing the
10:18 pm
border. and so no matter good vibes, is going to lower people's bills and that's really what this campaign is going to come down to. >> well, we'll see if it is right now. it isn't. >> we'll see if that changes. alright, thanks so much to all of you. i appreciate it. and next live pictures pictures of trump's rally in arizona where rfk junior plans to join the former president after suspending his campaign, kennedy's cousin will respond outfront after this. and one of the most powerful imagery just from the democratic convention, vice president kamala harris has great needs watching her from the front row. york city mayor eric adams is outfront next on this historic moment. and new reporting tonight from inside the trump campaign about the former president and his plans for next month's debate, that he plans to go really personal despite warning bringing those close to him to not do that. is it a mistake in the 19 my parents immigrated from nicaragua to america. >> what is hard as we work, nothing changed because the current system, least guam

harris's campaign. >> now, just responding to rfk junior's saying this as he dropped out of the race, endorsing trump following my first discussion with president trump i tried unsuccessfully to open similar discussions with vice president harris in president harris declined to meet or even to speak with me i want to go straight to priscilla alvarez, who has been speaking with a harris campaign so priscilla, an hour, we just heard what rfk junior said and now you've talked to the keras campaign. they're responding, what are they telling you? >> well, their focus is on the voters they see an opportunity here to try to appeal to some of those voters who may have gravitated to rfk junior because they were disillusioned by trump. and then candidate president joe biden now their putting out calmly i harris as an option saying this in a statement, this is from the campaign chair, jen o'malley, dillon, quote, for any american out there who is tired of
10:24 pm
donald trump and looking for a new way forward. ours is a campaign for you. this is echoing the message that the vice president gave yesterday during that speech to the democratic national convention. something think we can anticipate in the weeks to crown because of course, it's going to be a close race and to get to these voters are going to have to spend money. now we know that campaign has already put aside millions of dollars in digital and tv ads. but i'm also told that harris advisers are having conversations about a keep the momentum going on, fundraising especially the ground let's first donations. those are harder to predict, so they have to capitalize on moment or create moments to inspire those donations. i'm also told they're talking about fundraising events, including potentially splashy wants to keep that up. now, of course, the vice president is clear-eyed on what come because next and i'm also told that the debate that's september presidential debate is another event that she is focused keenly on in the weeks to come, erin. >> all right. priscilla, thank you very much for that new reporting from the harris campaign outfront. now, stephen
10:25 pm
kennedy smith is our robert f. kennedy junior's first cousin so the way it goes is this steven is the son of john kennedy smith, who is john f. kennedy and robert f. kennedy sr. his father, stephen smith, a key political adviser to jfk, stephen endorsed president biden's reelection. he now supports kamala harris. so just to steven, everyone understands where you're coming from here. today. your cousin suspended his campaign, throws his support behind trump for you, this is i obviously deeply personal. this is your first cousin. you have known each other since you were very young boys? >> just. >> to show pictures you as you were growing up, teens a lot of your life. this is your first cousin. what do you what do you think about this endorsement tonight? >> well, look, i agree with what one of your guests said earlier, which is that robert f. kennedy sr. would be rolling over in his grave his most famous speech was after martin luther king was killed and he
10:26 pm
said what we need in this country is not division is not hatred, is not violence and lawlessness and that's exactly what donald trump has promulgated by promoting the attack on the capitol that killed so many people. so for bobby to endorse donald trump is an explicit betrayal of his father's stated values that's as clearly as i can say it. the other thing i would say is that he was judged by a court new york to have filed a false ballot application in new york. so he was going to be removed from the ballot in new york, as well as 18 other states is similarly in arizona. he couldn't account for his signatures. he was going to be off the ballot in arizona, so he really had no choice but to drop out of the race and in the weeks up until today, he tried to negotiate a deal with both
10:27 pm
different campaigns. so if i were an rfk voter, i would be wondering about following the example and the recommendation of someone who is trying to make a deal for himself with both campaigns that that seems self-serving, an opportunistic. >> so i know, obviously you see as his appointed in a political opportunism expediency. perhaps, or other words that you would use that they capture your feelings better. but your cousin has said that the problem here is that the democratic party left him and that the democratic party has shifted. and he talked a little bit about that. i wanted to give you a chance to hear what he said it'd become the party of war censorship, corruption big pharma, big tech big money we often references to this point about his father rolling over in his grave. he references his father. he references your uncle. he
10:28 pm
references them. he says the opposite. he says they would not recognize today's democratic party he is, staying true to the principles as he sees of his, his father and his uncle. do you think it's possible that he does truly believe that i mean, i don't know what bobby believes because he's been a democrat and he's been an independent now apparently he's a republican he's negotiated for a job with both parties at the same time he's made a lot of inconsistent and bizarre statements. >> so i really can't say what bobby believes as far as what the democratic party stands for you know, the democratic party under jfk, rfk and em case to it for universal health care. it stands for the protection of the environment. it stands for help for tax cuts for the middle class. it stands for human rights and civil rights those are all the things that kamala harris spoke about last
10:29 pm
night. so the democratic party's still stands for the same thing. the only problem bobby doesn't understand, it's not about him. it's about the country and so the fact that he's disappointed in the democratic party says more about him than it does about the democratic party. >> alright, well, stephen, i appreciate your taking the time and as i said, i know i know it's difficult time when its someone you've known your whole life, a part of your family. so thank you very much for coming out and sharing your thoughts. >> absolutely. and you know, i just want to say that i grew up and you may relate to this aaron in a catholic school in a catholic school, i was taught but you can just like someone's behavior, but you always treat them courteously. and so that's the way we handle things in our family, but i felt an obligation to speak out on this alright. >> while steven thank you very much for doing that. i appreciate that. showing it here. next vice president kamala harris is rise to the top of the democratic ticket. is this significant moment for many, including young woman
10:30 pm
like a great need he's watching harris make history. mayor eric adams outfront next to talk about what clearly will be an iconic photo no matter how this goes. plus breaking news as we wait for trump to take the stage age with rfk jr. we are now learning that more than 100 people there have had to be treated by medics were going to take you there i'm nfl hall of famer, dan marino, you know, i used to be afraid of things like defensive lines and losing games for what's insane is that years later by biggest fear became trying to fall asleep, but the insanity stop. >> ron learned about relaxing them sleep. i started sleeping again the first night while i might not be worried about winning games anymore, i still want to perform at the top of my game. relax them, sleep completely changed how i live my life, and it will change yours to join the hundreds of thousands of people who've experienced the relief. and health benefits from getting a great night sleep and get real

photographer todd heisler, captured this moment the little girl there is harris's 8-year-old great niece, amara watching as her great aunt became the first black and asian american woman to lead a major party's presidential ticket. that moment just captured there outfront. now is the democratic mayor of new york, eric adams and mayor adams, a lot to ask you about. but first you know that picture, it really captured but everything and as i said, what i loved about it was, it was about the little girl that she was the center of it and looking up, what did you think when you saw that image? >> well great photographers have, they have the ability to capture moments in a real way, because sometimes we are looking at this grand event that's taking place on the stage of our political history. but in reality, there's a lot of substories and subtexts imagine what any immigrant is feeling right now to the possibilities have been in the greatest country on the glow.
10:36 pm
and this little girl in a little girls across america who are seeing the possibilities. and it's a wonderful moment i think for all of us. and i hope is not lost on us. how great this is for our american story. this is the greatest kind but you're on a globe, nowhere else is dream attached to his name. but the american dream so there's obviously what you're talking about isn't enthusiasm that is felt by, by the harris campaign and certainly was felt in that convention center and by democrats across the country. >> many democrats though, are warning that the honeymoon won't last. let's just lock in the congresswoman she spoke yesterday and you and i were both there. we heard her she's had a tough senate race and her message was, and i quote her, don't get high on your own supply and think everyone is as energetic as you are do you share that concern or do you think she just saying that because you just you can't get too greedy and to shore too early no i believe she's 100% correct look where we were a
10:37 pm
month or so ago and look at where we are now anyone that understand politics 70, 70 days is a long time. and i say it over and over again, you have to stay focus and not be distracted and you have to grind we have to work for this and places like new york city, we need to use our time to go to those swing states and not just sit here in new york and be filled on how well we're doing here and all the smiles that come with it. this is going to be a job that you have to complete a get over the finish line. >> all right. here's the thing you are on the front lines of one of the substantive issues that is not getting enough conversation in this campaign as of yet. and maybe it won't. but i'm talking about the border. it does matter. and you are at the center of it. so at the beginning of your term, mare, you supported president biden very loudly and clearly. so let me just let everyone hear in your own words how you felt i'm the biden of brooklyn. i'm sure if you were to ask you, what is his favorite mayor here? clearly tell you is airy all right.
10:38 pm
>> that was you then you supported his reelection bid. all right. you did but you also spoke out against him and his administration and you did it loudly and clearly because of the unprecedented migrant crisis that you have faced in new york. all right, here are just a few of the things maire that you have said we're not getting the support that we deserve here in new york city. >> the president and the white house has failed. new york city on this issue all right, so you call it like you saw it, like your city was experiencing it. >> i should note, you did not have a speaking slot this week at the dnc do you think you fell out of favor with the white house and that's why you didn't get a speaking slot well, first i want to go back. >> not only did i call myself to buy new brooklyn, i was strongly in favor in 2020 of the harris run. i just feel there's a strong alignment and something that democratic party but he has misfold long time.
10:39 pm
we need to stop apologizing for the fact that we believe that public safety and reform can go together. we have done a great job in doing that, and many democrats from new york did not speak you look at leticia james, who has really been a real important leader around this issue. because you know an a stage, this is not the time for us to sit on a bench and say cold, put you put me in a game, put me again know what's the blueprint? and that is what is going to take. what do we need to do to win the campaign? put together to speak is that they want, i'm fully in compliance with that, and i want to know how do we win? now, how do i get on the stage? this is not about eric. >> i understand that you're being gracious, but yet you are facing and your big democratic city is facing a migrant crisis. there's no way around it and people who live in the city and are american citizens have faced cuts because of the migrant crisis. and you have been on the front lines of that hank steinkamp is a political consultant for bill clinton. he took so the new york post about you're speaking slot, this is
10:40 pm
punishment for adams criticizing the administration on the migrant crisis. it's not just bad for him. it's bad planning by the party that's the question mare put aside that you're going to be personally gracious about it. is it bad planning by the party to not take on this issue and address it directly well, first of all, i'm not being gracious. i'm being factual. i want to win and i know how to win because i want just about every race i've been in and i know when you run these races, everyone wants to tell you how to run them instead of allowing the team to do so, the migrant crisis is real, and i put out a call to get exactly that could of all, it is. so we can do things at the border. i remember the biden-harris team put in place a bipartisan piece of legislation that the republican party decided not to move on. and we must address the issue. but i also know as i moved through the streets, affordability, housing, and having opportunities for the future is on the front minds of many, not only new york is, but

10:49 pm
phenomenal person, a phenomenon so man who loves the people of this country as much as anybody can love the people of this country so bobby, please say a few words. thank you thank you thank you, president trump a few hours after this, as an asian attempt at butler, i got a call from a safe food advocate and kelly needs it has been fighting for many years to try to end the corruption at
10:50 pm
cdc and fda and usda and these institutions is regulatory agencies are actually run by the big food processing company but he's a big ag and the chemical companies out there supposed to regulate and he said to me he'd been advising me for many years and on my campaign and he told me that he was also advising president trump and he asked if i would talk to president trump and i said, of course and about a few minutes later i got a call from the president and we talked, we had a very good talk and he invited me to come see him that x and i went to dominion minneapolis we met again a couple of weeks later in florida and we talked about not
10:51 pm
about the things that separate us because we don't agree on everything but on the values and issues at bind together. >> and one of the issues that he talked about was having safe food and ending the chronic disease epidemic our heart children and ld unhealthy is sick children in the world don't you want healthy children and don't you won. the chemicals out of our food don't you want the regulatory agencies to be free from corporate corruption and that's what president trump told me that he wanted. he also told me that he wanted to end the grip of the neo-cons on
10:52 pm
u.s. foreign policy he said he didn't want any more 200 trillion, 200 billion wars in ukraine that we could use that money back here in the united states a safest the best way to build a safe america? it is to rebuild our industrial base and rebuilt a middle class in this country don't you want a president who's going to get us out of wars and who's going to read though the bevel classroom this country he told me that he wanted to end this
10:53 pm
censorship because the whole basis of american democracy is the free flow of information then we know a government that can silence its opponents. has license for any kind of atrocity and can you think of any time you can look back in history and say that the people who were censoring we're the good guys. they're always the bad guys because it's always the first step down that slippery slope to totalitarianism oh you want a president who's going to protect americans freedoms? he
10:54 pm
is going to protect us against talked to allen. erin isn't and i want to ask you, what can oh, you want a safe environment for your children oh you want it? oh, you want to note that the food that you're feeding them is not filled with chemicals that are going to give them cancer and chronic disease do you want a president that's going to make america healthy again thank you all very, very much and god bless you, and god bless america all right. so you just heard rfk junior, those were very brief remarks no i anticipate
10:55 pm
actually felt, but it could've gone longer than that, but first appearance together endorsement obviously hitting on his key issues chronic disease, which was the one that fell on the most fertile ears with a lot of people, right? auto immune diseases and infertility and obesity. big food, all of that foreign policy neocons thank you, mayor, help make america healthy. >> answered the line all right. >> but as you say, those aren't it was specifically chronic disease, anything you've ever heard trump say before, you know, actually looked earlier. >> i look too because what he just said there, what rfk said is what he said when he dropped out earlier today. i look to see if donald trump could ever mentioned chronic disease, particular in this context. and he had not, i mean, he just he did i mean, look, it's donald trump. there's pictures of the guiding mcdonald's on his point, like this is not a guy who is deeply dedicated to healthy tel the eating, right? i mean, the other things he said, the thing about censorship, just total nonsense phrase referring to this twitter files stuff which has been debunked 1,000 times over. he said down from is going protect us from totalitarianism because of the censorship thing, like all of these things that he's saying, right?
10:56 pm
again, the two go back to the point that he also tried to get kamala harris to like give him a deal as well. so i mean, it's just it's also just like starkly insincere in a way that i think is pretty remarkable and yet, i mean, obviously you hear that's a rally. >> so you're going to have the response, you have ayisha, but is it possible that this does fall? on some fertile years, particularly because he's leading with the issue that did that many people found compelling, right? the issue of chronic disease is an issue that americans do face, but even the communication of it just felt a little bit incoherent to me. and that's the thing that struck me because it actually did feel rather trump light at and that he repeated the same three lines it's twice, once at the beginning, then coming back to a don't you want it to be safe for your kids and get rid of nichols and food, right? so getting it did it was formulaic. it felt like a whole lot of ramble in the middle. they felt contradictory as well because he went into this thing about totalitarianism. and do you want somebody who's going to weaponize the government against you? write in fact, that's exactly what donald trump has threatened to do. do
10:57 pm
time and time again, is weaponized the government against his enemies, essentially. so it all felt like really aligned with his rally because it's just as rambling and incoherent as most of what trump has mark and lou, i want to get you in here. >> tom foreman is here now though, because it's philip was talking about this issue of chronic disease. how does it actually fit? what is trump said? tom foreman, what have you found? just looking over the facts here are the facts here in 2020, the world health organization looked at 180 countries around the world rfk junior just said that our children are an ally unhealthiest sickest children in the world. the world health organization said, yeah, we ranked 39th in the world out of 180 countries. not as good as it could be, but nowhere near the worst. and when he kept saying don't you want to safe environment for your children, don't you want to save environment for your children? it's important to remember trump as president rolled back dozens of measures out there to make clean water, clean air. the very things that create a clean environment for our
10:58 pm
children right? >> and of course, you're talking about foods. why when you talk about safe environment, i mean, obviously gun violence being the top issue and they're talking about food. lulu, does this resonate though, with those core voters that we were talking about when you're talking five or 6% was rfk is polling in a state like arizona, which is larger than the current margin polling between harris and trump it was kind of jibril and there were a lot of coded language there for people who follow rfk so if you are a believer in some of the conspiracy theories about our foods sources and autism and vaccines then, yeah, who are going to be primed to accept what he just said. >> but for the vast majority of people, what he said is not true. first of all, and secondly, it doesn't really resonate in that way because yes, of course we all a want healthy food for our kids and yes, of course we all want a safe environment, but donald
10:59 pm
trump is not synonymous with those causes and it just seems like this is the largest stage rfk jr. has ever had. i mean, a trump rally. he was not someone who was pulling in the huge crowds before, even though he was polling well at a certain point and again, it just smacks of political opportunism for a lot of people who are watching that at one point. and actually for a long point up to six months, polling close to 20%. >> but post-biden dropping out, but had dropped to about 5% mark. do you think that this does anything? do you think we're going to see them again or was this sort of the don't know, the one time sort of awkward wonder well, it's not so much i don't, i don't know if we'll see them together again or not. >> i think the key is what happens with the data, obviously right now, you are now going to move into a get out the vote mode. make sure they're registered, make sure as we were talking earlier because they are low propensity voters, make sure they are getting to the polls. so if the trump campaign can then work
11:00 pm
with the kennedy campaign in the battleground states use the data they already have on their supporters to try to mobilize limb, then that's a very powerful because trump's team is outstanding at using digital to connect with people and get them to the polls that will give you a point on that. i understand there's questions about the signatures in the state, you know. but but putting that aside, there were sizable number of people who were supportive of this, right? and they sensibly because of by virtue of getting signatures, do have a lot of data well, yeah. >> i mean, but there's a difference between having data and having politically useful data. yes, he's got some new campaign had stuff that they're going to be voter database that they're calling in order to pick up anything other than a name? exactly. or maybe an email address which isn't not useful. but at a much, it isn't already made. alright, we'll all thank you very much. i appreciate it. thanks. for watching. the source starts no
