the post guys over here now wolf, i'll tell you. >> we did get a statement from secret service earlier this evening saying they're reviewing this body camera footage and also noting that they appreciate local law enforcement partners who acted courageously as they worked to locate the shooter that day. wolf our danny freeman. >> thank you very much for that report. very important indeed. and before we leave you tonight, we want to take a moment to celebrate the situation room's 19th anniversary today. watch this and you're in the situation room where news and information from around the world arrive at one place simultaneously. any asleep on these screens behind me data feeds coming in cnn.com, that was august 8 in 2005 are very first broadcast in the situation room, right? and it's been privilege to cover so many important stories over these
4:01 pm
>> these last 19 years, and we look forward to covering so new reporting tonight as well from our k-file as republicans unleash more attacks on walz over his military service best it turns out it's not the first time he's had to defend his record, how he responded in the past, plus the president of one of the largest unions in the country is all in on this harris-walz ticket, or the rank and file union members on that same page, uav prompt uaw president joins me live. let's go outfront i'm good evening. i'm erica hill in for erin burnett out front tonight. >> trump's quote, public
4:02 pm
meltdown. that is how the harris campaign is characterizing trump's rambling insult and live-filled one-hour, four minute news conference today. the harris campaign sending out this statement, take a look at it, will put it on the screen for you as you can see, it reads donald trump took a break from taking a break to put on some pants and host a press conference. you see there that they actually did cross out press conference and then followed it with public meltdown the statement goes on to say, quote, he hasn't campaigned all week. he isn't going to a single swing state this week, but he sure is mad kamala harris and tim walz are getting big crowds across the battle grounds. democrats clearly not shy in their assessment of what they saw this afternoon, but wasn't really a public meltdown. donald trump at the podium arguing that he's news conference was more important than campaigning. you can judge for yourself, you're some of this afternoon's event she's not doing any news conference. you know why she's not doing it because she can't do a news conference. she doesn't know how to do a news conference. she's not smart enough to do a news conference so that was
4:03 pm
also just one of the many times the former president question of the vice president's intelligence today kamala, who by the way, is worse than biden. >> and she's actually not as smart. >> okay. she's actually not as smart. that's hard to believe yes, please. >> kamala harris is worse than president biden i know you said you think you're very good. i think she's actually not as smart as he would. you said you think you very i don't think he's harris, marty. >> i know. i'm not a big fan of his brain, but i think that she's actually not as smart as he has trump wasn't just hurling insults and mispronouncing. >> again kamala harris's name. he also presented a steady stream of lies nobody was. killed on january 6. >> i had 1% inflation. i had actually know inflation's nobody spoken to crowds bigger than me and you look at martin luther king when he did his speech, his great speech and you look at ours, same real estate, same everything same number of people, if not, we
4:04 pm
had more. why is it that millions of people were allowed to come into our country from prisons, from jails, from mental institutions, insane asylums, even in sadness, said that's a it's a mental institution on steroids it's important to note all of that is completely false. >> one thing though that is true tonight, there's any poll showing harris now leading trump by four points. now that's just within the margin of error. kristen holmes is outfront in west palm beach, so kristen, you were at that trump news conference today. these polling numbers, i would imagine not making the campaign very happy, but how were they feeling after today's news conference well, erica, part of their goal with this news conference was to raise attention to the fact that kamala harris has not sat down for an interview is and should be came the nominee has not answered questions from the press. >> i do believe that later this afternoon, she did take a couple of questions from the traveling press and if that was your ultimate goal than they were successful only in the
4:05 pm
fact that donald trump was able to repeat this over and over and over again as he was live on multiple tv networks. but when you talk about those polling numbers, know of course they're not happy with those polling numbers. now they maintain a lot of optimism and positivity. i'd spoken to a number of campaign senior advisors earlier in the day about this, and they acknowledged that the race has changed. they acknowledge that there is more louisiana around kamala harris and tim walz. but they say that at the end of the day they do believe fundamentally the race is going to be the same because it's going to be around these specific issues like crime inflation, and the economy, things that donald trump has pulled higher than joe biden on. and they believe will pull high aaron than kamala harris on because she is an extension of joe biden being the head of the administration. obviously, we don't know what is going to happen in this race. they maintain the day. it's still in a honeymoon phase of this honeymoon, harris honeymoon as they call it a, but it does
4:06 pm
seem to be lasting longer than they expected, or would have liked it to last. now, you talk about the fact that he hasn't been on the campaign trail. i actually asked him specifically about that and he said that he didn't need to be on the campaign trail because he was leading in all the polls. obviously we know that's not true. he knows that's not true. and i've spoken to a number of allies and these are people outside of the campaign who say that they sarr concerned, they are concerned about him not being out there on the campaign drill specifically are particularly on a week like this one where you see kamala harris unveiling tim walz as her running mate and then hitting the ground running to several battleground states, drawing these massive crowds, you talk about those crowd numbers. donald trump was also asked about of that and that's when you appear to get very irritated saying that she wasn't really drawing that big of crowds. we know, of course, from our jeff zeleny that she is, but also saying that was the media's fault for the way they are portraying the numbers. overall. there was one piece of big news that was made
4:07 pm
out of this and that is the fact that we will see a debate on september 10 between donald trump and kamala harris that was agreed to by donald trump or at least re agreed to by donald trump. kamala harris has already signed off on that on abc, so we'll at least have one debate. he is asked for three. she is not committed to anything other than that one. we know they will be on the stage at least once. well, we know i know exactly what you and i will be doing then on september pretend to my friends appreciate it, kristen joining me now to discuss we have our panel tonight and boy, is there a lot to get to stephanie grisham? i want to start with you you noted ahead of this, right. you tweeted out that he was going to speak to the press because donald trump was panicked. do you believe he was upset with his campaign team that wanted to take control of the situation. so did he i think he did. >> i think he did for an hour. i mean, everybody was watching and as kristen said, he was on all of the networks and we're talking about it tonight. so certainly that's coverage that could be going to the harris campaign and it's not now the
4:08 pm
substance wasn't there. i know that his campaign is saying that by and large, they think with immigration and crime and whatnot, that they're going to win on the policies and the problem with that is he rarely talked about the policy. it was the same old tired donald trump spewing lies and just talking about what a victim he is so shermichael, to that point, it may have been a win in terms of stephanie's right. we're here we're talking about it. plenty of coverage on multiple tvs. this afternoon. but in terms of hitting the real substance of the campaign, did you see any wins there today? >> i mean, look, i think that's probably going to have to come talking to voters think the primary objective today was probably to disrupt the news cycle as much as possible, a little recalibration, if you will, for the campaign for the past two weeks we've seen a considerable amount of coverage for vice president harris, then with the announcement of walls that coverage has continued. and so if you're on the trump side, you look at this and you're trying to figure out how do we get ourselves back on
4:09 pm
an equal playing field in terms of overall media coverage to talk about our policy positions such as the economy, immigration, foreign policy. you got to first disrupt, then you can penetrate, then you can begin the process of having the conversations on the policy that's the way i would view this as a strategist mark you just heard kristen's reporting there are trump allies, trump supporters who were concerned about all of this enthusiasm around harris. more so than just punching through, right? if you're michael is noting within the campaign itself how much concern is there tonight? >> i wouldn't say there's concern that they're expressing but donald trump didn't get up today and duty did because they're not concerned the reality is the body language of donald trump is communicating that he feels as if he's losing that doesn't mean he's lost, that doesn't mean he will lose. but not only have the dynamics changed, but the trajectory of kamala harris is up and donald trump's poll numbers haven't fallen, but they flatlined.
4:10 pm
he's sort of topped out in this ballot share and so what he needs to do and what he displayed today is to try to really drag down kamala harris. now a stephanie just pointed out the problem that he is having, whether it's in this press conference or at his rallies is donald trump is no longer delivering a message that could be charitably described as cogent. he's not sticking to the issues. he's not saying immigration inflation, kamala harris immigration inflation, kamala harris it's all over the map and when you're speeches wind up being about everything, they can be about nothing except the few things that become news are things you don't want to become news like for instance, when he was another lanza, he decided to haul off and attack a fellow republican, brian kemp a popular governor of a swing state of georgia. and that brought him absolutely no benefit and increasingly, we're not seeing donald trump like the old donald trump where he's really able to drive a clear message. now, maybe all
4:11 pm
of this messaging stuff doesn't really matter. maybe the race will sort and settle back out the way they say it will but for the time being, the trump campaign had thought biden was going to be in this, and that if he wasn't gonna be in this, that kamala harris was going to be easy meet. and both of those things have been proven to be very wrong. another coping with the fact that they were wrong and they're a guy, right now is not performing it was interesting to hear him talk about the debates today, especially on the heels of ayisha donald trump saying, i'm only doing a debate with kamala harris on september 4 on fox. >> right. and then we saw the pushback from the harris campaign, but it's interesting to even in that moment, how he uses an opportunity to call out harris, take a listen to this she's not doing any news conference. you know why she's not doing it, because she can't do a news conference. she doesn't know how to do a news conference. she's not smart enough to do a news conference. >> so she told reporters tonight, she's working to get an interview scheduled by the end of the month. look, we have all been pushing for some everybody would like to sit
4:12 pm
down with her. she doesn't need till the end of the month. she could get that scheduled in about three seconds, but then he reporter in this country and i know you say she needs to sit down with someone. i'm curious from that perspective. he makes an interesting point. does she need to sit down for a substantive interview before the dnc i don't necessarily think so. >> and again, i don't work for the campaign, but i deeply believe in this campaign in the strategists of this campaign know exactly what they're doing. let's not forget erica, that this campaign really just launched a little over two weeks ago. and the matter of 15 in days, kamala harris picked a vice presidential running mate, got the dnc to vote for her by ballot, virtually, which is also unprecedented to make sure that she was going to be at the top of that ticket and is now going into a big convention. and is now moving around the country, having massive rallies with constituents. >> at this point, there's a lot on her plate and so it is not surprising to me and i'm not disappointed that she didn't decide that her top priority
4:13 pm
was to sit down with the press. >> now, of course, she needs to be asked questions and she should come prepared to the answer tough questions and have the press be able to have that forum with her. but the fact that it hasn't happened yet, it's going to happen is not something that concerns me. and in fact, i think that, you know, it's great that donald trump, just because the stand over there and blubber because the more he talks, the more america gets to know him. and it doesn't, it doesn't look good for him at all if she did take a couple of questions today, we should point out, but should she we take more even if it's not to sit in a sit down interview, be a little bit more open to those moments with reporters who were covering her. >> sure. i don't see any reason why she wouldn't be other than the fact that she is doing something that no one else has done before in history, which is literally jumped into a presidential race right now, what is at nine days left in this thing? >> i mean, it is there so much on her plate that she's doing and by the way, she's killing it, which is why you see the poll numbers going up for her, why you see millions of dollars being raised, and why you see the enthusiasm that's happening all around the country coalescing around her. that's why they're mad on the other
4:14 pm
side. >> i was fascinated today that this came up again. and the way that it was handled. so shermichael donald trump tried to argue that he was not the one who raised the question when he was questioning kamala harris's ethnicity and take a listen to this exchange because she's the one that said it. i didn't say it. so you'll have to ask her to me. it doesn't matter but her from her standpoint, i think it's very disrespectful to both really, whether it's indian or black, i think is very disrespectful about to me. it doesn't matter well, despite saying in part eight days ago that harris quote, happened to turn black in his words. >> and now she wants to be known as black donald trump now saying it's harris who's being disrespectful as you just heard shermichael, how do you work with that if you were advising the campaign eric, if i had the answer to that question, i'd be the richest guy on this hell right now look, i think like senator lindsey graham was right when he said, i think on this network, a couple of days
4:15 pm
ago that this stuff isn't helpful from a campaign in perspective, you want to be able to pivot and draw the contrast from your opponent. >> i mean, you just talked with ayisha about why the vice president hasn't really set with any journalist. if i were advising the principal, i would say, look, we need to bring the contrast about previous positions in the past to the flip-flop of new moderation today and continue to talk about those the issues from police officers, from immigration to health care on and on, you constantly bring that message before journalists. eventually the journalists going to say, you know what that's a good question. we probably should ask the vice president, why are you changed your position? why are you moderating what's different now compared to before? and those a very substantive questions that i think a lot of voters would be the interested in finding the answers to. but when you're not focused on those sorts of things, we're talking about this and it's not helpful because it doesn't necessarily add to the voter pool. and that's always what you're attempting to do an electoral politics you want to add, not subtract. >> well in terms of adding not subtracting, i'm not sure this is additive, but stephanie
4:16 pm
donald trump quite animated when talking about crowd sizes today. as we heard a little earlier, comparing them even with crowds for martin luther king junior. just let me remind you of that moment. >> i've spoken to the biggest grudge. nobody spoken to crowds bigger than me. if you look at martin luther king, when he did his speech, his great speech, and you look at ours, same real estate, same everything same number of people, if not, we had more it always comes back to the crowd size, stephanie, which, which amazes me. >> i'm curious, especially based on your time and knowing and knowing the former president, what was your reaction when you heard that? >> i mean, i shook my head. it was so typical it reminded me of when we very first took office and then he forced sean spicer, who was press secretary at the time, and all of us on the comms team to come in on a weekend and he made sean go out and say that it was the biggest crowd in history ever before,
4:17 pm
ever, ever, ever? >> so it reminded me of that, you know, it's again, it's the same tired stuff and we're going on a decade now with donald trump. >> and it's not changing, and it's not going to change. and, you know, i for 1:00 a.m. getting tired of hearing about his crowd sizes, i would also kind of get tired of hearing about our country being in such bad shape and that our country is so bad, bad, bad i think that the reason there the excitement that there is for camila is because of the hope that there is. and i'm not trying to be cheesy here with hope, but she's actually somebody who is giving people hope right now, other than saying meeting us over the head, saying how bad the country is and only he can fix it. people are just smarter than that. and i think there's real thing marko cochlea, last word in terms of that fatigue how much does he get it? his campaign might, but this he i don't think he necessarily cares about that. donald trump is going to be who donald trump is. and in donald trump's mind everyone told him he was going
4:18 pm
to lose in 2016 anyone? and then everyone told him he'd get slaughtered in 2020. any barely lost. and so we figures that if he does what he needs to do and what he wants to do is what he needs to do. he's going to win. and so forth. are that belief is at least carried him across the finish line in a republican primary right after numerous criminal problems, a criminal trial, as well as major civil trials where he has been found liable so we'll have to see if he's going to be right in november. but one thing is certain is that donald trump is certain that donald trump is right, and that the courses on his right now, whether the voters agree with them or not will say, well know and 89 days, hopefully, we'll know in 89 days, you know, give or take a little bit imbalance after that. thank you all good to see you all tonight. >> outfront next, governor, whilst facing criticism over his military record, our kfile tonight, discovering just how strongly walz responded when he faced the same attacks years ago. >> plus terrifying new details of what investigators say they found at the home of a teenager

4:23 pm
>> we're going to get out of it together. that's what we usually did for me i'm lauren fox on capitol hill breaking news. vice president kamala harris just moments ago defending the military service of her running mate, minnesota governor tim walz as he faces increased scrutiny over his military service record and i praise to anyone who has presented themselves to serve our country. and i think that we all should republicans tonight questioning both walz characterization of his time in
4:24 pm
uniform, as well as his departure from service. >> cnn's kfile uncovering similar accusations that were made in 2000 synthetics and outfront now is andrew kaczynski, senior editor of cnn's kfile. so as i note, it's not the first time that there have been questions about his military record accusations that he may have embellished that record. >> well, that's right. he faced similar accusations during his first race for congress in 2006 when people, critics allege that the way that his campaign talked about his service gave a misleading impression that he had served in the wars in iraq or afghanistan. walz served in italy supporting the operation in afghanistan. a walz to had to put out multiple statements to news papers responding to basically letters to the editor that people wrote accusing him of misleading his service. and i'm gonna read a couple of the quotes for people of what people were saying about walz at the time. one of them said it strongly suggest that he fought in iraq or afghanistan,
4:25 pm
but does not say which countries tree. and another read quote through artful admission walz is leaving the impression that he served in combat zones or the current conflict. now, what were they responding to? they were responding to the language on his web site at the time and they were responding to his ads read, lay out the website language so people can make us what to make up their own minds. here. and this is what the website said. it said prior to retiring, walz served overseas with his battalion in support of operation enduring freedom and now take a listen to how his campaign ads talked about his service sometimes and everyday person comes along and helps put the impossible within our reach. the coach who could see a championship three years before the big game, the teacher who inspired generations of one by one the soldier who served for two
4:26 pm
decades, but ready when they attacked, command sergeant major retiree four years late after a tour supporting the war in afghanistan so we have all of these moments back in 2006 that you've just laid out, what was the response then from governor walz. so these letters and these claims that he was misrepresenting his service in 2006, they received a lot of pushback from both him supporters and him in fact, he took these allegations so seriously that he responded in both local papers. and i'm going to read what he said in both instances. and here's what he said in july 2006, he said on saturday, the free press printed a letter which implied, i embellish my military record. the details of my record can be eased this is lee found in numerous articles by the free pass and other newspapers. therefore, i must assume that this letter is meant to slander my good name for the record, i served 24 years in the army national guard and retired as a command sergeant major and may
4:27 pm
of 2005, i served in three nato missions, the arctic deployed in support of operation during freedom, serving italy in 2003 and 2004 using in innuendo to defame candidates character has no place in this debate this nation must do better because we have many important issues to face that was how he responded to one of those editorials. and then in november of 2006, there was another editorial that made a similar claim and he responded by saying, if you were confused about my service you could have checked my website simply had the decency to call me and ask. and when you dishonor a veteran, you dishonor all soldiers and veterans, you own apology to all those who served honorably. and i think something that is important for us to note here too. is people even if people took away from those ads that they thought he was leaving open, that he served in iraq or afghanistan in interviews that we looked he did describe his service accurately, including saying in
4:28 pm
one, i did ten months with operation enduring freedom where by the luck of the draw, i served in italy right. >> wasn't saying that he that he was there are important to continue digging on this, as i know, you're going to be doing if a busy three months ahead, he and my friend. yeah. thank you. good to see you and just to note that coming up tonight here on cnn, the command sergeant major who oversaw walls and the national guard and says he let his troops down is set to join laura coates at 11. be sure to tune it out front here next, vice president harris zeroing in on the union vote in detroit appearing today with the president of one of the country's largest unions he's my guest, plus republicans attacking governor walz over his handling of the protests after george floyd's murder, an issue for some voters the state i don't know why he left the city burn, but i can get horrible and people shouldn't forget that sunday on the whole story dottie. dottie, donie. donie o'sullivan dives back into the world of misinformation their computers that are using our election and

4:34 pm
>> that we are all in this together you saw harris there with of course, not only to multiple, the president of the uaw, who will join me in just a moment. >> first though i do want to bring in my colleague, arlette sines, who is out front in detroit. what else did we hear today from the vice president and governor walz on the trail? >> well, erica, vice president kamala harris sought to rally support from union members as she's looking to that key constituency here in the critical battleground state of michigan to help her in november, harris, his earned the support of uaw leadership and the members who were here at this union hall this afternoon? that we spoke with were largely supportive of hair that harris's candidacy, but she is still facing the difficult task of trying to slip way to earn the support of rank and file union members across the board at a time when former president donald trump is also trying to make appeals to that key group. now, her new running harris, new running mate minnesota governor tim walz, really tried to drive
4:35 pm
home the contrast between harris and trump on labor policies as they spoke here today, take a listen though. >> we know that unions built the middle-class, the rest of america has, do you know who doesn't believe that donald trump? >> this guy doesn't know the first thing about unity or service. >> he's too busy serving himself. again and again and again. you've seen it. he put himself above us. he weakened our country to strengthen his own hand now support from the uaw and other unions will be key for harris heading into november's election, especially in states like michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin, all as part of that critical blue wall where they are looking to appeal to working class voters. >> now, in addition to her appearance here for at this union hall, harris also addressed the debate over the debate that's been playing out. she said that she has committed to a debate with abc news on september 10, and then told reporters she's happy to talk about other debates that
4:36 pm
could potentially take place after that debate. of course, trump himself today said that he had committed to three debates so far, harris has not signed on to all well, those plans. >> i'm that first one he says he committed to is before the abc ones. so we'll see what happens. there are let appreciate it as always. thank you the president of the uaw, shawn fain, joining me now. great to have you with me tonight. as i understand it, you had the chance to speak with both vice president harris and governor walz today. so i'm curious, what are some of the issues that you raised with them? >> look, it's just talking about the mission here. i mean, look, the mission is to win this election we have one or two options with this election. it's either going backwards under donald trump or it's continuing go forward for the working class people this country under a harris-walz administration and you know, it's an easy decision for us because it's a very clear picture when you look at both sides in their work, in their own words, in her own actions. it's a very telling picture who stands with workers and who
4:37 pm
doesn't give a about workers. and it's very evident by donald trump, who he serves. he serves a billionaire class he's a lapdog for elon musk or whoever all throw money at him and the u.s. was for sale under donald trump so kamala harris and tim walz's spent a lifetime serving others and donald trump's spent a lifetime serving himself. >> i know you've been pretty forceful in your for support for kamala harris campaigning with her over the last couple of days you were also a strong proponent of walls being her vp pick. you said he was one of your two picks that he was an awesome guy for labor when it comes to though the uaw's own internal polling, what does it show you about where your members stand going into? november let go and go and clear back to 2008. >> we've we've looked at our polling and are polling has been consistent. it's typically always been 65 65356532. so it's in the same ballpark.
4:38 pm
we've been pulling its we're getting the same numbers again and it's an that's typical. i mean, it's so we're not seeing any drastic change and i know i mean, i know in talking to our members and i've been going to conferences weekly an overwhelming majority of our members will vote for kamala harris and tim walz. >> so as for that 30, some odd percent, as you note, is pretty consistent even based on prior elections what do you think the reservations are for that 30 some odd percent in 2024 look, it can be a plethora of issues. >> i mean, look, i mean, there's people that vote strictly just about guns or whatever the issue and that's it's there. right. and that's what's great about this country we live in a democracy we don't tell people how to vote. we give people the tools we give them the information of who stands up with working class people and who's going to make life harder for us. and so that's our job to educate our members and let them make the decisions so i think that's a lot of it, but do you
4:39 pm
think when we look at some of the numbers just in terms of a support democrats have been steadily losing support and losing an edge, i should say with union voters to republicans, going back, say five years. >> but if you look at 62 point edge in 1948, 31 points and 92 down to 22 points in 2020. i know you blamed that loss and what you've called the gop billionaire our class strategy to divide people. what about the democratic party itself though? do you think they have done enough to win over some of those votes or to try to bring some people back yeah look, i think democratic party us as to get back to our roots, the roots of the democrat party were rooted in taking care of working class people in labor. i mean, obviously, because our governments been sold to the highest bidder thanks to citizens united, which is a supreme court decision, again, put in under a a conservative, supreme court basically are our politicians have to obviously there's unlimited amounts of money going into our campaigns and both sides are trying to
4:40 pm
raise funds to be able to run good campaigns and working class people get left behind in that equation, but you know, the democrat party is definitely getting back to its roots i know kamala harris and tim walz are 100% working class focused and union or not, they care about workers. they're one of us, they are working class people and they know what it's like to live, paycheck to paycheck. donald trump. he's never worked a day in his life for a paycheck. he hasn't no idea what it's like. he's been given everything in his life he doesn't know what work is. he doesn't know what sacrifices. because the only serves himself. >> something. appreciate you joining us tonight. thank you. >> no, thank you outfront. >> next, j.d. vance attacking governor walz saying he left minneapolis. >> let it burn during the protests surrounding george floyd's murder. >> so what did the people in minneapolis? south think? >> we asked them plus investigators revealing additional details tonight about that foiled terror plot targeting taylor swift's concert the suspects were apparently dying people outside

4:59 pm
vulnerable, right? that, that could have been a target in and of itself it's not clear right now whether they were trying to get inside. >> we saw in the manchester attack in 2017 at the ariana grande concert that the terrorist waited after the concert as people came out and they came onto him, then he detonated his explosive device, killed himself because it was a suicide attack. and then a range of people around him. but he didn't he didn't need the 19-year-old here, did not need to do that in this case, he could easily have done it outside of the concert with the large congregation of people. there. so there were multiple bull targets really for this series of concerts. >> the next stop five nights at wembley stadium in london to close out this european tour for taylor swift, the mayor of london saying we're going to carry on i mean, what's your assessment? people who have tickets to go to those shows,
