"outfront," donald trump taking the situation, the republican nominee on a jam-packed
4:01 pm
schedule. rally after rally. tonight is his third of the day. he's not missing a second to try to make a difference. you are looking at live pictures right now of that rally in newtown pancreas. you see donald trump on the stage. he came out swinging today. promising a big victory repeating his claims of a rigged election. >> we are in a rigged system and a big part of the rigging are these dishonest people in the media. big part. big parking lt of it. >> trumps words as a stunning new republican ad is raising the possibility of a trump loss. here is a quick clip. >> america's future is far from certain. but no matter who the next president is, new hampshire
4:02 pm
needs a strong voice in the u.s. senate. >> hillary clinton's keeping up the pressure on trump today saying her opponent is threatening our democracy. and also on the trail joe biden with a stunning comment suggesting that he wants to fight trump, literally. >> the press always ask me don't i wish i were debating him? no i wish we were in high school, i could take him behind the gym. that is what i wish. >> jason carroll is out front at that trump rally in pennsylvania where trump is speaking live at this moment. and jason, what do you expect from trump tonight? what are we going to her? obviously he's been doing rally after rally. jam packed schedule skbl couple. >> reporter: a couple things. keeps saying the polls are wrong. telling his supporters to ignore the poles and if you are donald trump, continue pushing this unfounded claim that system is rigged. >> we are in a rigged system.
4:03 pm
and a big part of the rigging are these dishonest people in the media. big part. >> reporter: donald trump continuing to defy his critics and unfounded claims the election is rigged. >> wall street, the career politicians, the system is rigged. and i've been saying it for a long time. and believe me, i'm right. but with your help we are going to beat the system and we're going to unrig the system. >> reporter: at an earlier rally in north carolina tide the gop nominee pledging to sprint to the finish line in the face of polls showing him trailing hillary clinton nationally and in key battleground states. >> win, loose or draw and i'm almost sure if the people come out we're going to win. but i will be -- i will be happy with myself. because i always say i don't want to think back if only i did one more rally i would have one north carolina.
4:04 pm
>> reporter: and trump ratcheting up his attacks on clinton. >> hillary clinton is the most corrupt politician ever to seek the office of the presidency. >> reporter: the tension between trump and his democratic rival on full display last night as the two shared a stage at the annual al smith dinner in new york, a catholic charity event. a traditional good-spirited roast providing some laughs. >> michelle obama gives a speech and everyone loves it. it is fantastic. they think she's absolutely great. my wife gives the exact same speech -- [ laughter ] -- and people get on her case. >> reporter: but the gop nominee also drawing boos for some especially sharp jabs. >> remember, here she is tonight, in public, pretending
4:05 pm
not to hate catholics. >> reporter: despite the public animosity between the two cardinal dolan saying the two shared a cordial private momentum. >> he turned to secretary clinton, you know you are one tough and talented women. and she said to him and donald whatever happens we need to work together after this. >> reporter: and erin, just within the past few moments trump telling the crowd here that he will win the state of pennsylvania, despite polls showing him trailing behind hillary clinton here. the issue is that trump always points to the large crowds that he draws at rallies like this one. but there is a great deal of concern erin that he keeps drawing the same type of vote ear, e , at many of these rallies. and while i trump has said he'll be happy with himself win, lose
4:06 pm
or draw. it should also be pointed out erin that he's said multiple times that if he goes through this entire effort and does not win in the end he says it would have been a big waste of time and money. >> thank you jason. and jeff zeleny is covering the clinton campaign today in washington. jeff, donald trump has been hammering clinton on another wikileaks controversy. and this one really very dicey. hacked e-mail from top clinton aide huma abedin to the john podesta. and in this e-mail trump says it shows pay for play. and it does seem to do so. when you look at it, what do you see? >> well this e-mail certainly jumped out. it was from 2015 about a meeting in morocco. it was about an exchange whether secretary clinton would attend a clinton global initiative summit in morocco but a month after announcing her presidential bid. some of her advisors thought this was a terrible idea. but these e-mails suggested her appearance was connected to a $12 million pledge contribution
4:07 pm
to the clinton foundation from the king of morocco. now this is what her top aide huma abedin said in the e-mail. let's take look. it says, "the condition upon whether the mor roocco agreed t host this meeting. she created this mess and she knows it. -- there was also no contribution. but we don't have the full context necessarily pause the e-mails are being released bit by bit here. but certainly eyebrow raising for this $12 million moroccan
4:08 pm
deal. >> she did not go but bill clinton and chelsea clinton did go and attend that event in morocco. "outfront" now kellyanne conway. thanks for being with us tonight. i wanted to start by asking you about that republican interest group ad. i don't know how early you were plugged in but it called on new hampshire voters to reelect their gop senator as a check and balance for the white house. and the clear implication was that the white house could go to hillary clinton. so what, just to keep the senate gop. what is your response to that coming from your own party? >> it is a little disappointing. and we feel like running on a ticket with senator ayotte is a strongest possible way of accomplishing what many voters want, which is taking the country in a new and different direction. and how different would that be? we already have divided government and people are not satisfied with that. i that's really propelled the donald trump candidacy from the beginning. a true outsider who says i can credibly and legitimately come inside and change things but he needs a republican house and
4:09 pm
senate to make that happen. i would also note that in states like indiana, missouri, the trump/pence ticket is ahead in new hampshire. and some new polling shows ayotte up a few and donald trump down a few. but governor pence is in new hampshire all day campaigning on behalf of the ticket. i get why some interest groups want do this but from our perspective in the trump campaign we want a republican house and republican senate so we don't have the kind of divided government that you see that gets absolutely nothing done. >> you just referenced the polls of the states. your twitter handle was kellyanne poll. this is what you do. this week we got several polls. and this is a national level i'm referring to right now. seven points for clinton ahead for quinnipiac. nine from bloomburg. six from fox news.
4:10 pm
nine from cbs. do your internal polls suggest that all of these polls are wrong? >> well if you are talking about national polls there were also three polls released in the last day or so, national polls, that ras mussing, the l.a. times poll and the investors business daily poll and they show donald trump ahead by a point or so. >> i'm only interrupting for a second bato say we don't use the polls because of the methodology. just to note for the viewer. go ahead. >> in any event when you look at some of the state-based polls it is very clear hillary clinton can't get above 50%. why is that relevant? look at the point i'm making. hillary clinton's spent $66 million in advertising just since september. since august 1st, her surrogates which kwlu none other than people far more popular than she is. barack obama, michelle obama. bill clinton, joe biden.
4:11 pm
they have given over 100 appearances on her behalf just since august 1st. and yet she still can't put away donald trump. so we feel that when voters see this is a competitive race, that we still have a path to 270 through several different way, several different angles, then they see donald trump out there. he's promised erin to have a very punishing schedule the last 18 days. we just went over the schedule today. he wants to leave it all on the field and give it his best shot and i think it is worth a couple of extra points here and there among people who have decided i don't want to go for hillary clinton. i know her well. i know she's the one with all theed a ed ads up. all the surrogates. she represents x, y and z. there is something holding them back and we need to reach out and grab those voters. i think he's best when he talks about trade, immigration and jobs. and gettysburg tomorrow he'll be delivering his contract with america. we're very excited about is
4:12 pm
that. >> you say you have several ways to 270 but all of those ways kellyanne involve changing with trump is standing among women, right? this is just a reality. in the bloomburg poll i mentioned the national but when you broke it down by women trump is behind clinton by women by more than 17 points. women are more than half the population in the country. today he talked this and specifically about this issue showing him lagging among women and he said he doesn't believe him. >> i don't think they are telling the truth because when i look at all the women in our rallies i think we're going to do very well with women for trump. thank you. >> do you believe all of the polls on women are grossly wrong? does he speak for the campaign when he says that? i don't think they are telling the truth on those polls. >> he's the candidate. but i'll tell you the polls are all over the place. and you do see hillary clinton has a terrible gender gap with men. it's been chronic and persistent since she announced and that is important because we have two genders in the country and she
4:13 pm
does a terrible job. a gender gap with men. they dislike her and distrust her -- >> but the gap among women is much more significant as you know. >> yes. and of course we even have a past -- recent past republican presidential candidates, erin. mitt romney lost to women by 11 points. and mccain and palin lost to women by 13 points. so the gender gap among women and republican candidates is not new. and i'd point out that mitt romney lost to women by 11 points and he had everybody in the republican party supporting him, including someone like me even though we don't have support from them and a lot of other folks. >> as you point out it is not new but none of them won the white house. >> well george w. bush lost women twice too and still won the white house. by 11 points in 2000 and by three points in 2004 and he won the white house. we have work to do. and i'm always the first to admit it. we have work to do. we're the underdogs.
4:14 pm
but i know america loves a good underdog story, a comeback story and donald trump has been counted out i'll say innumerable times by everyone. and i just think these last couple of weeks he wants to reach out. he's going to be talk about what to do about the disasters that have befallen many americans with respect to obamacare. you see all these major insurers pulling out of the state exchanges. you see that in some state, erin that you have got maybe one or two providers left in some their areas in some states. talk about ivanka trump and donald trump's ideas about child care and elder care that would benefit all americans. and next week, and next week in north carolina we have a really nice surprise for women in america. and i would -- i would encourage them and i'm sure cnn will tune in as well. >> we absolutely will. and i want to ask you when trump has these opportunities to speak to the american people. last night he had an opportunity, watched by millions of people.
4:15 pm
his speech at the catholic charity dinner. the speeches are the self deprecating. few good natured shots. last night trump had a couple of good moments. the joke about melania we just played got a big laugh but then it turned south. the host said he thought trump crossed the line. let me play it. >> hillary is so corrupt, she got kicked off the watergate commission. hillary believes that it is vital to deceive the people by having one public policy and a totally different policy in private. that's okay. i don't know who they are angry at hillary, you or i. >> and of course they weren't chanting they were angry at him. kellyanne do but wish he'd struck a different tone? >> what i love about last night
4:16 pm
erin is what cardinal dolan, whom i admire tremendously said today. which is that donald trump started what ended up being an exchange of pleasantries with hillary clinton last night, complimenting her as a tough and talented woman in a grueling campaign and she replied yes i whatever happens donald i hope that we'll work together and i'm sure they will, under his presidency. but the other thing donald trump is speaking to catholics more broodly. and i think the night before this speech was really one of the best moments he was talking to people of faith. he very clearly said in the debate erin that he would protect religious liberty. certainly appoint supreme court justices who believe in that and also he gave what i believed to be one of the most impassioned unapologetic defenses of life i've ever seen from a republican presidential candidate. it is important in this way. it is one of those areas where hillary clinton and donald trump could not be more different. and for him to say that he is
4:17 pm
pro life, a position he's not always held and that he is pro life. and she of course is very tremendous on that issue. late term abortion. i thought it was such a high point. and in that way he's communicating not just to a room of people in new york but communicating to people of faith nationwide. >> thank you kellyanne. appreciate your time tonight. and "outfront" next, 18 days left. millions have already voted so who is ahead? plus could this nasty race end in violence? >> i think there will be blood in the streets. i really do think that is going to happen. >> and the year that late night comedy picked a side. >> shes running against lying racist buffoon who doubles as billy bush's wing man.

4:21 pm
donald trump speaking right now in pennsylvania. battleground state. live pictures of the rally. he's there on the podium. trump and clinton are crisscrossing the country to make their case. only 18 days left. but here is something amazing. more than 3.3 million americans have already voted. yes. take look at this. these are long lines of people. this is in north carolina. early voting started in that state yesterday. people are already in line waiting to vote. to a lot of people this is pretty stunning. you think you are waiting for election day. that is not the case. david chalion is "outfront" in washington. when you look at those lines that brings us home that we are already in the process of the voting and we have a partnership with a data company called catalyst to get the detailed early vote return information.
4:22 pm
what does it tell you? what to we know? >> reporter: it's important to remember what we're looking at here is a ballots return of part of the early vote. but not the actual vote count. that we won't know until election day. but we do know in some states whether democrats are returning ballots or republicans. you mentioned north carolina. this is what we have. 17,543 democrats have returned ballots already compared to 19,533 republicans. you would think okay that's pretty good for crump. but compare that to four years ago in 2012, democrats are staying on par. 14,000 or so at this point. compared to 34,103 republican ballots at this point four years ago. that is a big warning sign for the trump campaign that their ground game in north carolina may not be performing where romney's did four years ago.
4:23 pm
>> in florida. more people here. 305,000 democratic ballots returned. 314,000 republican ballots returns. this was about a nine percentage point lead in 2008 in early vote at this point. that is down to only a 1 percentage point lead for republicans and remember barack obama won florida in 2008. in iowa, this is probably the best news that the trump campaign has. even though democrats are returning more ballots than are republicans, it didn't -- it hasn't really dropped tremendously. this is pretty consistent from four years ago. overall it is lower on both sides. but this is about even. so unlikely north carolina and florida, where you have seen the trump campaign underperform what romney did at this point four years ago. they are keeping even here in iowa. >> pretty stunning when you look
4:24 pm
at those numbers. ohio there, i want to issic you about ohio. because obviously we have a new poll showing trump and clinton tied there. some show him slightly ahead. this is a crucial state. he has to win ohio. but early voting has plunged. and why is that? >> reporter: here are the numbers in ohio. 55,000 republican ballots. look how much lower tho those numbers are at this point four years ago. the reason why? ohio has narrowed how many early voting days exist. so they have had seven fewer early voting days. it started later. so even though we are at the same point, many more people had the opportunity to early vote starting earlier four years ago. there is a lot of ground to make up here if people want to cast their ballot early, they have to get this fast. >> and i want to bring in now the national political correspondent for the "new york times" jonathan martin and
4:25 pm
phillip bump. phillip, when you look at the numbers, the graphs that david is sharing that doesn't look good for donald trump right now in those states. is this a real indicator of whose going to win? >> it is hard to say. your gut says if more republicans are turning in -- >> -- >> exactly. north carolina in particular, is a state that obama won 2008. romney 2012. a state where hillary clinton leads right now. arizona we didn't see the arizona numbers. arizona has seen a similarly big shift towards democrats in early votes as well. arizona state is now in play even though it's been red for some time. this is the sort of thing you would expect to see if the race was going very much in hillary clinton's direction. that is the way the race is going. and i think it is also important to note that this early voting period is overlapping with a time hillary clinton is up big. and that is a big problem for
4:26 pm
trump. because even if he closes the gap in the next couple of weeks these people have already voted. >> so whether trump can do something to turn it around in these states. early voting it is not like it ends. it continues. >> it is an indication to me erin of the fact that hillary clinton has created a modern, you know, 2016 era presidential campaign and donald trump has not. donald trump has basically relied upon what he did during the course of the primary, which is free media attention. lots of rallies. tweets. and, you know, interviews. although there are fewer of those now. to basically to a sort of wholesale campaign. he doesn't have much of an infrastructure to do the kind of early vote effort that is required. this is a labor intensive element of politics. you have to know exactly what your universe of voters is, drive them out to vote early. and tabulate who's going and follow up with those who haven't
4:27 pm
early voted to prod them to early vote. precisely the kind of thing hillary's campaign is better suited for. >> and the thing is david, you look at the poll, i was just going through with kellyanne conway. and if you are clinton support you are going okay. she's ahead. does this lead to complacencisy and all of a sudden what trump says the going to get him over the top, which is turnout comes out in his favor on election day zbli . >> that is the big concern for the clinton campaign. part of that modern warfare machine they have build is to ensure that doesn't happen. they have targeted their voters and know how to turn them out. we should note with early vote numbers democrats in 2012 did better with the early vote than the election day vote. the democrats are seeking to
4:28 pm
bank as much of that vote now when the news environment is so favorable to them. because on election day they don't anticipate being able to have the same kind of advantage. >> all right. everyone stay with me a moment because i want to talk about donald trump is here speaking at a rally in pennsylvania. his third of the day. today we caught up with a few trump supporters who are taking their views to the extreme. let me show you what i'm talk about. martin savidge is "outfront." >> reporter: clarence bartlet is no fan of democrats. >> blame democrats and all them ticks is ruined this country. and we're trying to get it back. >> reporter: outside this trump rally near asheville, north carolina i asked what's going to happen if trump wins? his answers a shock. >> oh they will kill him the he gets elected. that is how bad they are. that is the most evilist people i ever seen. lie and deny. >> reporter: who would kill him?
4:29 pm
>> well the democrats the ones trying to cause riots and everything. it's orve. it's in the news. >> bartlet isn't the only one predicting violence. this woman thinks it could happen if trump loses. >> personally i think it could turn into a civil war. >> you really think o that? >> absolutely. first of all i think we're going to have a terrorist attacks and we have all of these protests and all of that. and so i think people are going to be very upset. >> reporter: i found ann brooks quietly waiting in line. she's a clinton supporter and proved trump backers don't hold the monopoly on ugly talk. >> reporter: what are you doing here? >> i think i wanted to experience what it's like to be in a room with a sociopath. >> reporter: i asked if she's willing to live with a trump victory. >> i might move to canada. truly. i mean truly. because i think there will be blood in the streets. i really do think that is going to happen. i think it may happen either
4:30 pm
way. >> reporter: who would cause that. >> i think either side could. >> reporter: as troubling as this talk is most say they do not expect violence. >> reporter: when this campaign is over do you think it is an issue we can come together again is it. >> we have to. this is the greatest country in the world. >> reporter: do you believe as the nation we could heal, get over what's been a very hard-fought campaign. >> i would hope so. i'm not a vicious person. >> reporter: but it has been a vicious campaign. with some of the strongest, crudest and ugliest language in living political memory. most recently when trump interjected in the last debate. >> such nasty woman. >> reporter: so you think the depiction nasty woman in this case fit? >> i -- well, i wouldn't come out and say it. but if the shoe fits, wear it. >> reporter: one thing is clear, healing won't begin until the election is over. and with more than two weeks to go, there is still plenty of nasty out there. >> reporter: we've been asking
4:31 pm
people about the tenor of the campaign. -- >> -- truth, you guys are the pigs. >> reporter: now wait a minute. that's not nice. so it's sort of stuff like that. you know, as you talk to people as to why it is this election is so dirty or so mean or so ugly in the way that people speak and i'm talking on both sides. people will say because there is so much at stake. and so if you talk to republicans and democrats, they may disagree as to who is the right leader. but they will say they can never remember a time when there was a more important election. and that is why the passions are so high and the talk is so low. >> thank you martin. "outfront" now scotty nell hughes. van jones, phillip bump and jonathan mart reason still wiin me. scotty, one of trump's supporters warning of a civil war if clinton wins and another one predicting the democrat wills kill trump if he wins. does this sort of rhetoric
4:32 pm
concern you? we're talk about civil war, blood in the streets. killing somebody. >> absolutely. that piece is very troubling. i'll be honest with you erin. and i hated to hear that. and unfortunately i believe if you went to a hillary clinton rally you would hear the same thing. it's existing on both sides as both groups are frustrated with the path america is on. and as we get closer you are seeing the passion turn to anger and in some cases turn to hat d hatred. it is not jouns the trump side but on both sides of the campaign right now. i think you have to look at where is the source of it. we've seen thanks to wikileaks and others that this is something that the democrats have been planning all along. this is a part of it to show, to encourage violence or to talk about violence as trump supporters are demonizing that way. that came from wikileaks and one of the power play slides and now we have the videos where they actually encouraged people to go
4:33 pm
into trump rallies to encourage violence. we need to take a step back and that needs to start happening sooner than election day. >> van, i want your response. i want to clarify for anyone not familiar with the video you are referring to, scotty. this is a video put out by a man who has sort of done this thing before. these videos. it was edited video. he's a convicted criminal. just so people understand the facts and the people responsible in the video have both been removed from their jobs. just making sure everyone understands the context. van can you respond though to what scotty had to say? >> well, first of all, you know, it is not even stephen. you have seen a lot more violent rhetoric and a lot more violence coming from the trump side. that is just obvious. i can't -- the hillary clinton rallies are so boring that people, you know, don't even go to them.
4:34 pm
so i think your whole point is that nobody goes. so you cannot pretend it is even ev steven. i also want to say, you said said a high-ranking democrat was involved. in fact the high-ranking democrat said, even in these doctored up videos that the trump campaign paid for and the gave by someone who could be pinocchio. creamer is saying he would not touch this horrible scheme with a 10 foot poll. i want to point out we shouldn't be relying on someone who again and again put out false videos. that said i'm very concerned about the direction things are going. trump i think has an opportunity to clarify to people that he believes in america and he believes in our system and that when he is out there and he's saying that everything is rigged, he wasn't saying that when he was up in the polls. he's only saying it now. i think it is very reckless.
4:35 pm
>> today at a rally. vice president joe biden was there, slamming trump. and he made a remark that i think was pretty clear. anyone who listened to it is going to realize he was talk about physical violence. let me just play it. >> the press always ask me, don't i wish i were debating him? no i wish we were in high school i could take him behind the gym. that is what i wish. >> now is that something joe biden should apologize for? is this the sort of thing where if donald trump said it everybody would be in up in arms. he's implying physical violence. that is what we're hearing from joe biden. >> yes. i think that joe biden is joe biden. i think the democrats have given up on trying to get joe biden to apologize for things he says. but also important if donald trump said that it's in the context of donald trump running for a campaign on a year and a half basically run on a campaign of fear. what you heard the gentlemen who came to the reporter and insulted the reporter as he was
4:36 pm
conducting the interview. that comes directly from the candidate himself. i think what joe biden said is stupid. i don't think he's going to apologize. i think most democrats are going to go along with it. i don't care it helps the discourse at all. but i don't think it is comparable to donald trump saying the same thing given how donald trump is acting. >> what do you say scotty to the point phillip raises about the man who came to our reporter and said pigs. this is a big part of his rallies every time. chanting cnn sucks. and yelling out that the media are horrible and disgusting people. >> well of course i don't like it, as a member of the cnn family and i experienced it this week on both sides from the hillary camp and trump camp in vegas. but the latest quinnipiac poll 55% of all americans and 9 out of 10 republicans believe donald trump has been treated unfairly by the media. so there is a lot of frustrations and that is something we'll have to talk about. one thing to point out. talk about violence the majority of violence has helped to trump
4:37 pm
supporters in the gop this season. we were fire bombed. our headquarters were fire bombed last saturday. the night before at a trump -- >> black people have been beat p at your rallies. >> -- and why have they been. >> black people -- >> >>[chatter]. . >> are you really saying that the black people in the rallies who were beaten up were put in there by democratic operatives were put in there on purpose. >> if you look at chicago rallies and the violence at chicago rallies and now you have this group. and yes bob creamer is married to a congresswoman. as van jones told me last week every democrat probably knows who he is. >> i certainly do and i'm proud to know bob creamer -- >> jump in here jonathan. >> three fast points. first of all joe biden is not helping the democratic cause to stay on the high ground with those comments. second of all, to what scotty is saying, there is not remote lay
4:38 pm
comparison in terms of the two candidates rhetoric. donald trump offers the kind of inflammatory comments that we have not seen in modern american history. hillary clinton does not say those kind of things. and then lastly in terms of what that report showed in north carolina, i think it is important to point out that a donald trump rallyconsists of a self selected audience. the people showing up for that event feel very strongly about politics. so it might not be the best sample of american electorate writ large because these people are passionate enough to show up at that campaign rally in the middle of a weekday. >> so donald trump today has come out. and as you all know whether the election is rigged whether he's going to accept the result is a crucial part of the conversation. >> remember folks, it is a rigged system. just remember, it is a rigged system. it is a rigged system. don't ever forget it.
4:39 pm
that is what you got to get out and vote. you got to watch because this system is totally rigged. >> is that helpful, van? when he says you have to watch and say people go to the precincts to watch other people. >> i do think it is important what was said before that it is a minority of a minority of minority of people even at the rallies who are doing these kind of things. i think that's important to say. but at the same time, i don't think it's helpful. when he implies and there's been a persistent pattern now of imi applying, that the inner city, in his world, where black people live, that is where this is going to be some horrible thing going on and you have to watch or whatever. i think that is horribly unfair. it plays along with a particular set of republican ideas that, you know, black people are criminals, black people are the pawns of democrats, you know, who are the puppet masters having -- you know, all that sort of stuff and it is very very disrespectful and unfair. i does not help the republican
4:40 pm
party to have their standard bearer furthering these stereotypes about black people stealing elections. >> thanks so much for all of you. and next michelle obama making a play for arizona. the state as gone blue only one time in 64 years. could it be about to happen again? and late night comedian throwing punch lines at one candidate and leave nothing doubt who will get their vote ide! ah, the time honored tradition of yelling out your own plays and opinions. want some? i'm on a cleanse. it's four days of vegetables and raw food-- 54 is the mic! sure, no one on the team can hear her but does that stop her? check out of it! not one bit. and much like coach hindsight over here, courtyard is all about the game. eight men in the box! is that a good thing? not if we run the ball it's not! won't replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says you picked the wrong insurance plan. no, i picked the wrong insurance company.
