latinos will need to be won over to turn out. >> my message to democrats, if you want to earn the latino vote, you better get out there and hustle. >> reporter: in the state of nevada as well as here in arizona, the closing message from most of the campaigns are being directed at latinos. there's almost an event daily targeting latino turnout. and, wolf, all the topics begin with the economy. wolf? >> kyung lah reporting for us, excellent report, kyung, thank you very much. and to our viewers, thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. "outfront" next, putin issuing a new threat directly to the united states, as new video into "outfront" tonight shows
4:01 pm
russian soldiers calling putin's invasion a, quote, absolute hell. a six-month exclusive investigation by the reporter who exposed the russians behind alexei navalny's poisoning. wait until you see what he is going to show you tonight. he is one of the republican's biggest targets, a top democrat in charge of getting democrats elected. and now he could be taken down by someone who is not a household name, yet. and american teacher mark vogel was sentenced to 14 years in russia for marijuana possession. he's now believed to be on his way to a secret russian penal colony where he will be subjected to hard labor. his sister anne is my guest. let's go "outfront." and good evening. i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, a new and bigger threat to the united states from putin. top official with russia's foreign ministry tonight warning that american commercial satellites could be a target because of america's aid for ukraine. it is a direct threat from russia to the united states. and this threat from one
4:02 pm
superpower to another comes as putin's forces are reeling on the front lines. in a video shared by ukrainian journalists, we want to show you this. you can see what appear to be russian soldiers complaining that they don't have the basic tools to survive. watch it for yourself. >> that's the front line just over there. they sent us here without any training, without anything at all. they've been taking us around constantly our division. we don't have any training or supplies, and our guys showed up in their own uniforms paid for with their own money. [ speaking non-english ] >> translator: we have no weapons, no ammo mags, no grenades, no belt pouchs, no food, no water. it's absolutely [ bleep ] hell. who the hell knows, long live the god damn russian army.
4:03 pm
>> absolute effing hell. cnn can't independently confirm this video. but we show it to you as it is consistent with everything we have heard and been sharing with you again and again night after night from russian soldiers. you heard they are paying for their own uniforms. we continue to hear that. not enough food, no food, no ammo, no training. in many cases not getting paid. the kremlin in a rare admission today acknowledging some equipment issues. putin's top spokesperson telling reporters, quote, there were issues with the equipment, but measures are being taken to eliminate these problems. unclear what those are. but of course this is way bigger than equipment. there is a severe shortage of human beings. there is a severe shortage of troops. the chief of ukraine's military intelligence telling cnn today that putin's private army is now recruiting prisoners who have tuberculosis, hepatitis, and hiv and sending them to the front lines. here's what's even more bizarre and disturbing. the new soldiers are wearing colored wristbands to signify to
4:04 pm
their colleagues their disease. we're going to have more on that in just a moment. but we also have some incredible new forensic reporting on the military unit that putin uses to carry out some of his deadliest missile strikes on ukraine. this is a unit that many don't even know exists, a unit that is taking out playgrounds, homes, and businesses in ukraine. and in a moment i'm going to speak to the lead russia investigator for bellingcat. he has spent six months investigating the secretive group. he's going to tell you what he knows. but first i want to get the latest on the ground. fred pleitgen is out in odesa. >> reporter: ukrainian forces trying to hit the russians on all fronts. this mortar unit firing in the north of the country while in the south kyiv is continuing a counteroffensive trying to capture the russian occupied city of kherson. we met up with an artillery unit on the battlefield. the soldiers tell us there is firing going on here pretty much
4:05 pm
every day several times a day. the front line is not very far from where we are at all. it's a couple kilometers in that direction. and right now there's not very much movement on that front line. but, still, the situation is very dangerous. ukraine's defense minister says kyiv's counteroffensive here is complicated by wet weather in the area. but the commander says he believes in the end they will oust the russians. >> translator: i know one thing for sure. we will never step back from here. we have no only choice, only forward. ukraine has to get back all its territory and borders. >> reporter: while russia continues to mobilize hundreds of thousands for the war here, the ukrainians say they found the wagner private military company founded by putin ally, is sending russian prisoners with diseases to the front line. the chief of ukraine's military intelligence told cnn's nic
4:06 pm
robertson. >> translator: they put on them certain wristbands in blue, white, or red color. every color signifies tuberculosis, hepatitis or hiv. it's happening on a mass scale. most of them, who are taken prisoners or their dead bodies which were found in the battlefields, had those wristbands. >> reporter: cnn can't independently verify those claims. as russian forces continue to lose ground in ukraine, the kremlin conducting massive annual nuclear drills involving submarine launched ballistic missiles and others launched from russia's fleet of strategic bombers. while the russians notified the u.s. about the drills well in advance, russian president vladimir putin with a clear warning to washington. >> translator: what they are trying to achieve we see on the example of ukraine, which has become an instrument of american foreign policy.
4:07 pm
the country is practically lost sovereignty and is controlled from the united states. >> reporter: but the ukrainians on the front line say they are fighting for their own freedom, not for anybody else. we did reach out to the outfit about those allegations that the ukrainians have been making about the group allegedly sending people who are sick to fight on the front lines. so far we've gotten no answer from his people. however, the ukrainians are also saying that they believe the russians are sending newly mobilized troops here to the front line in the south as well. they say these people have absolutely no fighting experience and have described them as essentially cannon fodder. >> straight to the front lines, hiv, tb, and hepatitis, prisoners who have those and being identified by wristbands that look like those old lance armstrong ones. you wear red for one, white for another disease. "outfront" now, executive director and lead russia
4:08 pm
investigator for bellingcat. he was able to identify the russians involved in poisoning putin opposition leader alexei navalny. and he has now used those same forensic data methods to identify the secretive russian military unit responsible for the deadly missile strikes that have been killing civilians across ukraine. thank you so much for being with me. i want to talk about your new investigation. first, though, fred talking about the wagner group sending prisoners with diseases to the front lines. i know you have been following the wagner group closely as well. what are you learning? >> well, this sounds credible. this sounds compatible with some early reporting in the days after the initial visit by him to russian prisons where they were recruiting people straight from prisons. and some people reported, not on opposition channels but on pro russia war channels, they reported that they ask, well, i'm sick, can i still be recruited into this sort of
4:09 pm
convict unit of the wagner army. and they were told yes you will be in a separate group, you will be isolated from the others. and therefore what we're hearing today, what the ukrainians have seen on the front lines in terms of this, it seems compatible. but what is more interesting here is that of course there is a shortage of people and of talent across the board, and equipment as well. but what is interesting, from my point of view, is the new envision that prigogin believes he is much better than the regular army, his people are better than the regular army. he knows how to manage them and motivate them and incentivize them better. this is a growing competition between him and the regular army shoigu, the minister of defense. and i think today just an hour ago it has kind of escalated to a point that we haven't seen before where progin in a response to one of his own media said that in fact some people
4:10 pm
should get the boot. and he clearly was referring to shoigu in this statement. >> which is incredible. shoigu obviously, putin's minister of defense who he just appeared with last week in a very public showing of support could be a very significant fault line here. and this comes in the context of your new reporting, which i know you have spent many months on. you have tracked the russian military group that has been targeting ukraine, killing civilians, blowing up playgrounds, as we saw in kyiv last week. and i know you used methods to track this group, that you use to track those involved in poisoning the russian opposition leader alexei navalny. how did you figure out who these people are, who are launching these missiles? >> well, it was a couple of months into the war that we started wondering in bellingcat who are the people that are programming the flight paths of these so-called high-precision missiles. they were relatively new and first used in the syrian war by
4:11 pm
russia. there are three types of them. they launch from ships and submarines, the type that are launched from planes, and the third one that are launched from the ground. but all of them have one thing in common. they can't just rely on satellite data for their roots because russians have light gps data is faulty and easily jammable by nato equipment and by the ukrainians. so they require manual programming of the flight path. we started looking at who is doing that. no military experts seem to have any input on that or to know. so first it became a priority. we started looking at the most likely candidates for this, people that have graduated from the missile engineering i.t. institution of the army. and there are only two of these in russia. so we started browsing and
4:12 pm
passing through and checking out what they are doing now. and we found that some of them actually are described by their friends in phone sharing apps that are very popular in russia as people working at the unit called gvc. the gvc tribes as the central computation institute in russian, which is a sort of i.t. support system within the ministry of defense. but it didn't make a lot of sense that we have so many rocket scientists and missile specialists that work on i.t. support structure. so we have this early hypothesis that maybe they're involved in exactly this. so we obtained like we did with the navalny investigation, we obtained a lot of method data and phone records from the russian black market. and we found exactly what we expected that, there are peaks of communication between these groups of people at the time just before some of the most significant launches of missiles at ukraine. we needed to understand how they are doing it so we tracked their communications for about six months now.
4:13 pm
and we were able to not only identify all of them, we believe, but also group them in specializations. some of them are only working with -- others only with the iskander and so on and so forth. >> one final point here. i know they masquerade, they will say they're a pig farmer or a florist. and one of them i know is a coin collector. and literally as missiles are launching, is texting to launch missiles while also literally trading coins. >> yeah. well, first of all, we try to approach each of them and we got sort of a response only from the first one who admitted essentially that he's working at that department. and all the other ones received apparently prefabricated lies that they were supposed to deliver to us. one of them is a pig farmer, and the other one is a florist. they claim they have never been in a military establishment despite us showing them photographs of themselves in military uniform. but what was shocking is that as we could see from a lot of the phone communication while targeting missiles they are also
4:14 pm
doing extraneous things like collecting coins. some of them were even on dating sites while the missiles that they had just programmed were flying in the direction of kindergartens. >> thank you very much. powerful reporting. i hope everyone will read his article. he goes to each of these individuals, and you can see their faces. thank you. and, next, pennsylvania senate candidate john fetterman about to hold a major rally after last night's debate where his lingering effects from a stroke were on display. how did that debate play with voters? >> i don't think he has recovered from the stroke. >> he's come a long way. the stroke's a hard thing to get over. plus, el paso, texas, the city built a new migrant center to handle the influx. but now that new center is shut down. so what in the world has happened? you will find out in a story you'll see "outfront" only. and trump's attorneys now officially have the subpoena from the january 6th committee.

4:19 pm
debate. he will be appearing alongside musician dave matthews as he tries to change the subject where the effects were visible from his stroke. he is releasing this ad to focus on dr. mehmet oz's position on abortion. >> i want women, doctors, local political leaders. >> oz is too extreme for pennsylvania. >> oz, for his part, barely mentioning the debate at a campaign event where he appeared with nikki haley focusing instead on crime. >> i vow here and now that as a u.s. senator, i'll do the right thing for our communities. amongst them, i'm going to let police do their jobs. just do your job. [ applause ] >> jeff zeleny is "outfront" tonight at the fetterman rally. this was a crucial debate. how much did it impact voters?
4:20 pm
>> erin, there is no doubt this is one of the most important senate races. it was yesterday, it certainly is tonight. talking to voters throughout the day here, there is no doubt it did have an impact on voters. fetterman supporters of course are going to stay with him. but i talked to one here tonight who told me it simply gives the oz campaign more ammunition against him. but the reality here is there is still a sliver of undecided voters. so the question is, did he make the case that he's ready to serve in the senate. that's something that will be playing out over the next 13 days. take a listen to two supports, how they watched the debate last night. >> pennsylvania is in deeper trouble if they vote for fetterman. i don't think he has recovered from the stroke. i think that he's in trouble. and i do not think he is a very healthy person. i think that his thought process is not working, and he really needs some help. >> dr. oz kind of picked on him, is how i looked at it.
4:21 pm
>> do you think that he's healthy enough to be a u.s. senator? >> he gets healthier every day. he's come a long way. a stroke's a hard thing to get over. >> reporter: so we are going to hear tonight from fetterman for the first time we will see if he acknowledges his debate performance last night. his advisers know it was not as strong as they had hoped it would be. but they were lowering expectations going into the debate. they certainly met those. but, erin, the next two weeks so critical here. nearly 700,000 people have already voted in pennsylvania. and of course more to come every day for the next two weeks. >> jeff, thank you very much. just that ending point, 700,000 people have already voted and we're two weeks away. and they're voting every single day. so decisions are being made that are final every single day here. "outfront" now, republican strategist who has worked on pennsylvania campaigns for 25 years and is a former senior adviser to the trump campaign. and former national coalitions
4:22 pm
director for biden/harris 2020 who also worked in the obama white house. so thanks very much to both of you. you know politics inside and out. that is, you know, sort of where you've been born and bred and spent so much time in terms of your political work as of late. you heard jeff zeleny talk about the sliver of undecided voters, and nearly a million people have already voted already in pennsylvania. how much do you think voters were swayed by this debate, how much did it matter? >> so, erin, thanks for having me on. also i'll just note, i was a chief of staff to a u.s. senator for pennsylvania for five years. so i know a little bit about the senate and how it operates. and i think, look, john fetterman had a job interview last night, which he failed m miserably. i'm not so sure how many run-of-the-mill voters are watching. but i know the media reports after which resonate amongst the pennsylvania electorate were not favorable. i heard from many democrats last night who watched and said this is cringe-worthy.
4:23 pm
i heard from a handful of independent voters in pennsylvania said, look, i'm not thrilled about mehmet oz, but i'm sure not voting for fetterman. we'll see next two weeks from now. but i do think it had a massive impact. john fetterman's been going the wrong direction, and i think this has continued his downward slide. >> last night larry sabato was saying this debate was going to be crucial in terms of where he thought this race was go. and, look, as you watched it last night, it is fair to say even supporters of fetterman saw it was clear. he was struggling at moments. it was tough at moments to watch. because of moments like this one, this is where mr. fetterman was asked about fracking. >> i have always supported fracking, and i always believe that independence with our energy is critical. we can't be held ransom to somebody like russia. >> you are saying tonight that you support fracking, that you've always supported fracking.
4:24 pm
but there is that 2018 interview that you said, quote, i don't support fracking at all. so how do you square the two? >> i do support fracking, and i don't -- i support fracking, and i stand and i do support fracking. >> um, look, it's hard to watch that. so, is there anything fetterman can do to eliminate concerns that some voters may have in such a close race after a moment like that that he is not fit to serve in the senate? >> yeah, thanks for having me on as well. i think that with 13 days left to the midterm, fetterman has to be on the campaign trail every day multiple times a day. he needs to be in front of media. he needs to be in front of voters telling the case about why he is best suited to be the senator for pennsylvania. he struggled last night because he had a stroke. and we know that sometimes when people have strokes, it doesn't
4:25 pm
interfere with their cognitive processing, it just sometimes takes them longer to get words out, and the delays that we saw were because he was reading the captions, which was a reasonable accommodation. and i think people have compassion. i also think it's probably why oz is not talking about the debate a lot on the campaign trail because you don't win from smacking somebody who's getting back up and still strong enough to stand up for an hour and make his case. i do think, though, if you get past his verbal presentation. look, oz is a tv star. so i would have been really disappointed if he fumbled and stumbled through his words. but when you look at the actual content of what their actual answers were, it's clear oz has a very extreme view on abortion. oz said he wouldn't even support or wouldn't have voted for the toomey bill, which is bipartisan. oz doesn't believe in increasing minimum wage. >> and i do want to ask about abortion because you raise a point there. but on this issue of fracking, and i don't know what was coming
4:26 pm
on the closed captioning. but this was counterfactual. he said i support fracking when he had categorically said that he did not. he said i do not support fracking at all. what he said here was actually just wrong. does that bother you? >> erin -- >> i think people can change their opinions on issues. i think a lot of people have changed their opinions on fracking and now that's where he stands on his plussy because he knows it's what's important to pennsylvania voters. >> what about the point that ashley raised about dr. oz? i played it a moment ago. i don't want the federal government talking about abortion. i want women, doctors, local political leaders. is that -- how big of an issue is that? he wants political leaders involved in the abortion decision? >> if you watched the debate like i did last night, you understand he was saying i don't want a federal mandate, this is a state issue. states should be involved. he misspoke when he said local officials. he said it should be done in the
4:27 pm
states just like pennsylvania. he does not part ways with the abortion law in pennsylvania. he said it's up to the states. he was not going to stand in the way of the states' rights to do so. so fetterman ad is a little misleading. erin, you asked what could be done for john fetterman to clear up his health issues. release his health reports. have his doctor sit there. when i worked for our inspector, he had a brain tumor, a quadruple bypass. b but we did it with transparency. >> he said he would not vote against a graham bill, which is a national abortion ban. those two points are conflicting. >> thank you both very much. i appreciate your time. and, next, his job is to protect vulnerable democrats in tough races. and now congressman patrick maloney of new york is actually at risk of losing his own seat in an area that biden won by double digits.
4:28 pm
why he is watching this particular race so closely. then we're going to take you to el paso which was once ground zero for the border crisis, but now the influx of migrants is slowing, so much so that you'll be incredibly surprised by what we found. it's a story you'll see first "outfront." to none. for max strength nighttime relief, nyquil severe: ♪ bipolar depression. it made me feel trapped in a fog. this is art inspired by real stories of bipolar depression. i just coun't find my way out of it. the lows of bipolar depressi can take you to a dark place. latuda could make a real difference in your symptom latuda was proven to significany reduce bipolar depression symptoms. and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight. this is where i want to be. call your doctor about sudden behavior changes or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report fever, confusion, stiff or uncontrollable muscle movements,

tonight, it could be the most symbolic defeat of the entire election. democratic congressman sean patrick maloney of new york, whose job it is to get democrats elected to congress, now fighting to keep his own seat. in an area that biden won by double digits. maloney in a new interview tonight is now downplaying expectations. >> for folks who think it's easy for a gay guy with an interracial family to win a trump district and then on top of that run in one where he doesn't live, i don't think you know anything about upstate new york. >> his opponent mike lawler releasing this new ad today. >> everyone around here understands the problem. it's the politics like sean
4:33 pm
maloney who just don't get it. >> "outfront" now, our senior data reporter. so, harry, look, his job is to get democrats re-elected. so there is great irony in this current story line. but democrats are now pouring $600,000 into that race to help maloney, not something they thought they would have to do. is he in real trouble? >> yeah, he's in trouble. i thought his interview was interesting. he chose this district. when jones represented most of this district, maloney decided in fact to run here. jones ran down in brooklyn and basically got blown out of the primary. right now what we see is maloney's chances seem to be going down by the day. if you looked a month ago, this race was rated likely drac democratic. today it's a tossup. every single day it seems like sean patrick maloney is losing a little bit of ground. and this to me is emblematic of what's going on nationwide, which is that the republicans have been gaining momentum over
4:34 pm
the last month. >> how rare is it for a high-ranking member of congress, his title, his seniority, how long he's been around. how rare is it for someone like him to lose a general election? >> i mean, it happens. it certainly happens. if we go back over time, we've seen tom dasha who is the senate minority leader lost in 2004. we saw tom foley get essentially ushered out of office. he was the speaker of the house during 1994. what's so interesting is that new york is kind of emblematic of the nation at large. we think, okay, new york is sort of this blue state, this blue state, nothing could really happen in new york that could be sort of representative of the nation at large. but indeed what we've seen in new york over the last three swing cycles, 2006, 2010, 2018, is the times at which you see big waves in new york, they represent the big waves nationally. so, sean patrick maloney, along with a lot of other democrats in new york potentially being up for grabs, districts that they represent up for grabs to me is
4:35 pm
emblematically a larger problem for democrats. >> it could say a lot for the national landscape, a little flap in new york is a tsunami somewhere else. >> i think that's exactly right. and i think you get a good idea of that by looking at the issues that matter to new yorkers. what is the number one issue that new yorkers think is facing statewide? you know what it is? it's crime. that is by far the number one issue. inflation ranks second. and i think this kind of speaks to the problems that democrats have been having nationwide and what republicans have been running on. they have been running on crime. they have been running on inflation. and abortion, which is something that democrats have been running on for a long period of time is in fact very much near the bottom of the list. that is why i think you see republicans sort of rising in new york, rising in the sean patrick maloney race and rising nationally because the issues are on their side. >> it's amazing when you look at those you add up protecting democracy and abortion, you get 20. you add up the other two, crime and inflation, you get almost 50%. those are where the numbers tell
4:36 pm
the story. >> that's what it is. >> all right, harry, thank you very much. and, you know, another issue that's playing out in new york as well as other states is immigration. certainly new york where all those migrants were being bused over the past several months. it's all been part of the story of the unprecedented influx of migrants coming across the southern border. president biden has been trying desperately to find a way to slow the influx. rosa flores is out front. >> reporter: it's not often that president joe biden is likened to his predecessor. yet biden's latest actions on the border has immigration advocates like fernando garcia saying he's just like trump. >> title 42 was a tool used by trump administration to expel immigrants out of the country. this president is implementing it. it is a racist and xenophobic policy without any doubt. >> reporter: the biden administration is using the
4:37 pm
trump-era public health rule known as title 42 to return venezuelans to mexico. title 42 allows for the swift expulsion of migrants who have entered the country illegally. >> we still have the same kind of policies from the trump administration. that is very disappointing. >> reporter: thousands of venezuelans have been expelled to mexico so far. including this mom. who says, many of them are seniors and children. and this girl and others pleading with president biden for entry into the country. >> is the honeymoon period for the biden administration over? >> for migration and for immigrants, that was over in 2021. >> reporter: the policy also provides a legal pathway for up to 24,000 venezuelans with u.s.-based sponsors. but that is not nearly enough. border authorities encountered more than 33,000 venezuelans in september alone in. el paso, the biden
4:38 pm
administration caught in a separate firestorm after the mayor of the city, a democrat, said this during a public meeting about declaring a state of emergency over the border crisis. >> and the white house has asked at this point for us not to do that. >> reporter: the mayor later flat-out denied white house involvement. did the white house ask you not to declare a state of emergency? >> absolutely not. >> reporter: the white house denied it, too, saying, we did not make any such request. all this as el paso went from being at the center of the u.s. immigration crisis with migrants sleeping on the street and at the airport prompting the city to bus some of them to new york and opening this migrant center last month to shutting down that very same center last week when the migrant flow at the shelter hit zero, says el paso's deputy city manager. while garcia says biden's border policies are akin to trump's, he's thankful for one thing. >> we don't have that vitriol, that hateful narrative that we
4:39 pm
did have from the trump administration coming from the white house. >> reporter: a low bar for the highest office in the land. rosa flores, cnn, el paso. >> and thanks to rosa. "outfront" next, served, former president trump's lawyers officially receiving the subpoena issued to him by the january 6th committee. they want his testimony. will they get it? and an update to a story that we have been following closely "outfront." an american teacher being held in russia said to be en route now to a penal colony, this is according to his sister. you'll hear what she knows.

tonight, former president trump's newly hired lawyers officially receiving a subpoena for trump to testify and to hand over documents to the january 6th committee. this comes as a judge is ordering trump's former chief of staff mark meadows to appear before the fulton county, georgia, grand jury criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the election. evan perez is out front. a lot of developments on multiple serious trump criminal investigations today. i want to start with that subpoena from the january 6th committee. it's out, it's in hand officially of trump's lawyers. is there any indication of what happens now and whether trump will comply? >> so far, erin, trump is not saying whether he is actually going to comply.
4:44 pm
he has a deadline of november 4th to start producing documents to the january 6th committee. and for all of his bluster, he has said repeatedly that he wants to testify. now that he has a subpoena in hand, we haven't heard whether he wants to comply or figure out a negotiation with the committee to provide the testimony that they have requested. and, so, now we wait to see whether he will or not. >> so, on the criminal investigation fulton county, georgia, the judge telling mark meadows he must appear before the grand jury. his lawyers are signaling he'll fight that. of course he is absolutely central to every one of these investigations. so, what happens here for mark meadows? >> well, mark meadows is an important witness because he was part of that phone call. if you remember, he was on the call where trump was pressuring brad raffensperger in georgia to find exact number of votes that he needed to be able to win the state, which he, of course, did
4:45 pm
not. he also went down to georgia to look at one of the audits that was happening there. this is why the d.a. down in fulton county wants his testimony. he says, his legal team says they are studying the judge's order in south carolina that he has to comply. but keep in mind the fact that meadows and the trump allies were presenting these fraud claims has already gotten a judge, a federal judge to say that they provided these statements in federal court as well as state court in georgia, knowing that they were false. so, this is one reason why even if he appeals, it looks like he's got a tough road ahead because the grand jury is now expecting his testimony. and this judge, at least in south carolina, says that he has to give it. >> this is going to be amazing to watch, because, as we know, central to absolutely everything here. evan, thank you so much.
