living in tents under the sweltering summer heat. as many wonder what state media is not showing. how many people may be suffering for the sake of self-reliance you've got thousands of people who've lost everything they're living in damp, stuffy tents for going on weeks now. and kim jong un com stands in his trained, gives a 5,000 words speech, laying out the priorities of the party, which number one distribution of newspapers and televisions. so people can keep abreast of the party party's intentions. oh, yes. also food and clean water, also relocating all of the children to the capital pyongyang and only nursing mothers allowed to come along the rest of the parents stay behind and help rebuild erin incredible all. >> right, well. thank you very much and thanks so much as always to all of you ac360 begins right now tonight on three 60s, the former

president's struggles to define kamala harris, his campaign war rooms decides to define her with his racially loaded message. >> we're keeping them honest. also, new reporting on political hacking, a break-in and evidenced both the trump and biden-harris campaigns were targeted. plus the latest from greece we're fires have been threatening some the most treasured sites in the world good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin tonight with new reporting, including from the new york times maggie haberman, who joins us with her take shortly that the former president is still struggling with how to campaign against vice president harris a number of republicans, members of congress, pundits, advisers have publicly said they want him to focus on policy, not conspiracy theories and attacks on harris, particularly involving her race. like we heard from him at the national association of black journalists yet today mixed in with those policy critiques, the republicans have been asking for his campaign war room posted this two pictures side-by-side. the left one billed as quote, your neighborhood under trump and one on the right, quote, your

neighborhood under kamala, a flag and whitewash porches on the left, on the right, a sea of black and brown faces all under texts which reads import the third world, become the third world. now, this is nothing new in american politics. it has a long and sad history and it's certainly not anything new for donald trump as we speak, there are hundreds of thousands of biden migrants are invading our city in our country they're, coming from so many places. >> we don't have any idea in many cases, we don't even know what the language you have languages that people don't even know about. >> that was the former president april. and if that wasn't explicit enough here he is last december using a nazi-era description of what foreigners and back then jews were accused of doing they're poisoning the blood of our country that's what they've done. they're coming into our country from africa, from asia all over the world so none of

what trump is saying about harris is really new, including his repeating repeatedly mispronouncing her name kamala camila kamala. >> they were explaining to me, you can say camila. you can say kamala. i said, don't worry about it, doesn't matter what i say. i couldn't care less if i miss brennan now it's it or not, i couldn't care less. kamala sometimes referred to as commonly it is to got about nine different ways of pronouncing that well, the former president does what he does and despite urging from republicans what he continued to do this evening kamala harris, nobody knows her last name. >> it's harris. >> know. everyone thinks you have various kamala, so it's kamala harris joining us, now is new york times senior political correspondent maggie haberman so if trump is in fact rattled by vice president harris, is it clear to you what it is specifically that rattles him so well, i think there's two things, anderson, number one, she's closed the polling

gap with him and a pretty short amount of time and he had gotten very used to running against joe biden. that was comfortable for him. he knew what the line of attack was and his campaign had spent a lot of time and money on it. but she is a woman and she is a black woman and both of those factors to prove pretty challenging for him in the past yes, he is his allies will say he is an equal opportunity offender and he goes after everybody. and it's certainly true that he insults a wide variety of people, but he has seemed to really struggle with women, opponents, women critics, and particularly black women who are critics. >> it is also just remarkable how kind of regurgitated many of the messages coming from trump are not just regurgitated by trump from years past. going after barak obama talking about his name pointing out, his middle name, raising questions about the origin, his origins but but regurgitated from dozens of american political races in our history and

calling people marxists, and communists and demonizing people of color trump is, a man of few moves and so we have seen him make the same ones over and over. you are correct that he is trying to run against kamala harris the same way that he attacked president obama when obama was in office and trump was flirting with the idea of running for president in 2011 and was promoting the birther lie suggesting that the first black president was not legitimate to serve. you can see his campaign. if you look at the trump war room account on twitter they are, they are trying pretty hard to beat her and debate democrats into a fight about race and that has been something so far that the harris campaign has not taken the bait on but this is something that we have seen him do before. it is something that comes up as come up in other races. again, we will see what this race looks like in the fall. but so far the harris campaign has been pretty

focused on what it wants to talk about and it's not what donald trump wants to talk about. >> is it clear to you? i mean, does he still receive messages from does he still talk to all sorts of a whole strange cast of misfit toys, characters throughout the day. i mean, seen has been reporting that some trump allies are concerned that he's more susceptible to fringe conspiracy theories when he's most vulnerable, who, who has his ear right now yeah a jonathan swan and i reported this weekend about the fact that he is so disoriented has left him pretty susceptible to being manipulated. >> he's actually we just reported that he has a meeting plan with miriam adelson, widow of the casino magnate sheldon adelson this weekend bedminster. and this comes after he attacked her abruptly out of nowhere over texts, through one of his aides, a couple of weeks ago, he has a lot of people around him who either support conspiracy theories or don't like what they see as the establishment or are critical of certain

kinds of republicans. and when he is feeling cornered, he tends to the listen to those people. he is clearly feeling cornered right now she's also the fact that he's still talking to crowd sizes, which was from the earliest days of him in the white house. >> he was we all remember the sean spicer having to sadly go up and back him up on these crowd clams yeah. >> it feels very familiar again, man of few moves and again, these are moves that he makes when he is under strain or anxiety or uncertainty and he tends to be at his at his most erratic look, the number of people who we have spoken to, who, who just say that he, he seems very on edge is not small thanks very much. >> perspective now from natasha alford, senior correspondent for the grio, also seen him political commentators, paul begala and scott jennings natasha, we just heard the former president in his univision interview tonight

marking the vice president's name yet again, he did it with president obama, of course, as we talked about, maggie i mean, it seems like just the most juvenile and blatant effort to make a person of color seems somehow foreign or different, or somehow untrustworthy, that no one knows their real name was since thing is saying tonight well, it's an effort to denigrate her as a candidate and a person, right? >> she's not even worth sort of getting to know her name. we're having to say her name correctly he says things like she's not that smart. he does this very intentionally with women of color. he's done it against maxine waters questioning her iq. so all of it plays into stereotypes that we've seen before. it's about us versus them. it's about the other that we are supposed to fear. when you look at the meme that was sent out, you notice that the immigrants that were shown they are immigrants of color, right? despite the fact that immigrants come well from around the world, he wants you to see that there are certain types of immigrants that you should fear. and what he does

is takes very complicated issues takes away all the nuance. it makes it very simple for people who are low information voters to believe that they are somehow protected by him and not on that yes, i grew up, but i think what many of these voters will start to see is that he also doesn't have their interests at heart and that is something that will be evident when when many of the policies that he advocates, when you really look at them closely, you see that they don't include all of america paul, it's certainly brings her back because of the willie horton ad that was used decades ago when the former president i mean, if this is happening now at this stage of the race, where does this end up a month from now? right here, you've got 83 days he started in the gutter. he's now in the sewer. i don't know what's below that this this mean it does. i mean, it makes willie horton look like a benetton add may

there's nothing subtle there i suppose the good news is he recognizes kamala harris is black, which was not the case a few days ago. but it's beyond set aside that it's racist, which is it's really don it's really dumb, and it's very desperate if this is a guy who got 8% of the black vote in the last election but was polling at 20% in a black vote before joe biden dropped out, 20%. that's terrific for republican and i don't know much about politics, but it seems to me that memes like this are going to drive away a lot of black voters by the way, a lot of white voters, but hispanic voters, asian american voters it's a really dumb move. as well as desperate as well as you don't think it works. i mean, you don't think this you don't think the side-by-side comparison speaks to some farrow deep part of some people's brains it does but those people are already for trump i just don't see an undecided voter looking at this saying, oh, good point. now, maggie just used, she's so good

a really important word, baiting i will say the democrats don't let mr. trump's beat you into screaming, oh, racist, racist, far better i think for kamala harris to say let me tell you what your neighborhood will look like. crime is down under biden and harris, it was up under trump's of crime will be lower, but your income will be higher because we're going to raise the minimum wage and the young person working at that grocery store at that mcdonald's where i used to work is going to be doing better off your health care will be cheaper and your rights will be protected, especially if if god forbid, you need to go and have an abortion. that's a much better answer because that's actually hitting people where they live rather than telling them what i think people who are already against trump belief, which is that he panders to prejudice scott cnn's reporting that former president allies kellyanne conway, want him remain on message want to play what nikki haley said on fox today about this i want this campaign to win, but the campaign is not going to win talking about crowd sizes,

it's not going to win talking about what race com harris says, it's not going to win, talking about whether she's dumb, it's not you can't win on those things i know. >> you've said last night in this broken the he needs to focus. they put out this meme today. is that a good idea well, the issue is real. >> i mean, this is an it's provocative and it is unsettled. i agree with paul and the issue is live immigration is a live issue. and as i understand it, this was a real photo taken in new york city during the biden-harris administration. i think what he's trying to provoke is a debate over what but policies are leading to some of this immigration chaos. both at the border and in some of our larger cities across the united states. so you could, you could not like it or like it, but what he's trying to do is provoke some kind of a debate between the campaigns about who's responsible for the immigration chaos. so that's not that's not do you think it

was too, you does it have echoes of the willie horton ad? is it worse than that as paul sediment, it's i mean, not everyone is neighborhood look like that under the trump years and certainly the idea that everyone is neighborhood is going to look like the image the other image, it's just, it's ridiculous i think i think it is a fair criticism for trump to make about the biden-harris policies that have led to immigration chaos. >> now, people are going to go crazy about this. i mean, i assume it's going to be one of the most viewed posts of the trump war room thing because everybody's talking about it tonight. but you have to admit the immigration debate is one that he has to have with harris because it is the thing that most tie her to joe biden. she did have some hand in the policymaking on it, and so he he probably can't win the election without provoking some kind of an immigration debate with her, given the level of importance ascribed to it by most american voters, and the fact that most people believe

this is one of biden zan harris is biggest failures in the last four years. >> natasha, i mean, heard pushback. of course, has been now. there could have been a deal, but trump put his thumb on the scale and stopped republican members from congress from going along with a bipartisan deal that had been negotiated yeah, i think that she needs to continue to repeat that that there was a moment where two parties had actually come together, right? >> you had members of two parties come together with solutions for partisan reasons. of donald trump and i'll trump has overtaken the republican party. they weren't able to actually implement something that could have improved americans lives. and also the lives of those who were desperately in need who may have been crossing the border she has to emphasize that border crossings have gone down for five months straight, right. and that's after joe biden put in an executive order because that by bipartisan bill

did not go through. there are actions that they've taken and as long as she points back to that and she talks about what she's going to do and it reminds people that this is a long-term problem. it's not a problem but just started under the biden-harris administration. but it's something that we, as americans of all sides should be invested in fixing. she can seem like the adult in the room i mean, maggie was saying that the campaign the trump campaign is still struggling with a message from just a campaign perspective with just 83 days left, how problematic is that? yeah, that's kind of a problem. >> he he's an insult comic. that's what he does. and i know some of these people ambassador haley, she means, well, she's talking about issues that donald trump doesn't know. issues. he's simply knows insults and it worked for a while. >> the problem is, he's up against a younger, more dynamic woman who has revitalized the democratic party. >> he does not know what to do.

and so he's falling back on the same kind of insults and denigration and division and i don't think it's working. i don't think it's going to work with the democrats need to be very careful not to fall into that perhaps but i just don't see that is where it's why he so desperate. >> i honestly honestly, i feel bad for the woman susie wiles, who's running this campaign i don't know her, but she seems like a total pro and i can tell when she's in charge they actually seem to be doing well and they talk about issues like jennings is trying to talk about immigration. >> but when trump is in charge, it's just this nutty at best and racist at worst pure trump scott, i want to play something that trump said to you on most last night you're the greatest qatar. >> i mean, look at what you do. you walk in. >> you want to go? >> i won't mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and used it. that's

okay. you're all gun you're all gone. so every one of you has gotten the uaw union has now filed federal labor charges against foreign president musk over those comments. but as a political matter, what does that, how does that play in michigan and pennsylvania yeah, it's interesting because the republicans and even at the republican national convention have made a big deal about trying to court some of these labor unions now i took it as a sort of a shot at the union bosses, but it is a fair question. >> how rank and file union members it take a comment like that? i mean, we had the head of the teamsters at the rnc and obviously a whole bunch of rank and file union workers are planning to vote for trump this year because they're not particularly fond of the economy are some of the economic policies of the biden administration. so it's a fair question. i don't know how many of them heard it or we'll hear it or if it's going to become a focal point, but it it's an interesting contrast to the cording of union voters that has gone on in the trump era of the republican party.

>> everybody stick around more on what paul mentioned a moment ago, abortion plus what we're hearing are expecting to hear from donald trump tomorrow in north carolina, also tonight, cnn investigates a tech startup promoted by j.d. vance as a way to help people in eastern kentucky. what actually happened? it's the company, the workers, and the future they were promised its pods biggest sale of the summer save up to 25% on moving and storage for a limited time in cy pods has been trusted with over 6 million moves. they don't wait, use promo code big 25 to save visit hot.com today, introducing new advil targeted relief. >> the only topical pain reliever with four powerful pain fighting ingredients that start working on contact the target tough pain at the source for up to eight hours of powerful relief, new advil targeted relief whether you're a professional driver or just a fan, vehicle breakdowns are costly. >> it started taghi sorry, making some really weird noises. >> the last thing i remember is just the engine cut out. >> if you're check engine

direct redefining insurance i'm melissa bell in paris. and this is cnn today, missouri's attorney general announced that a constitutional amendment on abortion will be on the ballot this november yesterday, arizona made a similar announcement joining six other states, including battleground, nevada. >> cnn's jeff zeleny joins us now from asheville, north carolina another potential battleground where donald trump will be speaking tomorrow. so what more do we know about the ballot measures in arizona and missouri well, anderson, these ballot measures in both arizona and missouri are similar to ones we've seen in other states, i think back to ohio, think back to michigan. >> these are states that enshrined abortion rights into their state constitution. and voters in these states of missouri and arizona will be asked the same question in november, but what it means politically likely is to drive an increase in voter turnout in november, there were almost 600,000 signatures in arizona, some 577,000 or so, almost twice as many as needed to get

on the ballot. the harris campaign believes that is a sign that there is big interest in this, and that could help her in arizona, of course, a very key swing state in the presidential race, also a critical senate race there as well. missouri, of course, has long ago stop being a battleground state in presidential contests, but it could still influence others statewide byd races there. so in all seven states, we have seen, ask this question of voters in some form since that dobbs decision, abortion rights groups have prevailed in all of them. of course, we will see if missouri and arizona follow that pattern, but it matters in this case because arizona, of course, at the center of this presidential race, and trump is speaking in north carolina tomorrow he is. >> so becoming here to asheville, of course, a blue part of north carolina. but the state of north carolina is increasingly back in play. of course, it was one of the seven battleground states at the beginning of his campaign, as president biden struggled the polls in recent months, it sort

of fell out of the list of top battlegrounds. it is back now, how do you know the trump campaign is beginning to spend money here, like they have not done all year. they're spending money on ads a super pac supporting the former president also our, he's coming here tomorrow to talk about the economy specifically highlighting what he says is the economic hardship of the biden-harris administration. but the vice president xi is coming to north carolina also on friday to it to a campaign on the economy as well. so anderson, there are so many signs tonight that north carolina is back in the heap of the top battleground states. so, yes, the blue wall of michigan and wisconsin, pennsylvania, very important. but since she is joining the race, the battleground has expanded back to its original design anderson. >> thanks very much back with the panel natasha. so jeff was talking about the ballot measures and arizona in missouri, similar measures as he said, got it has gotten voters the polls ever since roe v. wade was overturned. do you think that'll be the case in

november yeah. >> i mean, i think that this is one issue that animates people across party lines, even if people aren't local or maybe not saying how they feel it's so deeply personal. it's so emotional for many people, the stories that we're seeing of women who are being he denied life, altering medical care due to these laws. and so i think that you will see people come out. it's been a winning issue for democrats, and it will continue to be because cobbling is such an effective communicator, an advocate for not just abortion rights, but this ai idea of reproductive freedom, as tim walz says, staying out of people's business, letting them live their lives. i think that message is resonating and it will trickle down when you talk about abortion paul are the voters who will come out for abortion access. the same voters who are already

energized by harris, his candidacy mean, does it bring anyone knew into the fold? >> i think it does. i think natasha's right, particularly younger voters were democrats before kamala harris became the nominee we're really, really doing poorly. animate young voters lower lower-propensity, young voters, definitely, it will also, i think help kamala harris build a bridge to a lot of suburban republican women who are really put off by trump's tone and tenor and really can't stand that his court overturned roe versus wade. >> you know, this isn't going way. natasha's right the american medical association issued a study back in january look at the 14 states that have the strictest abortion laws, states that have outlawed abortion, even in the case of rape. >> they found 65,000 women in those states who had become pregnant by rape. >> now they stopped the study in january. but god help us. the rapes haven't stopped, and

the pregnancies haven't stopped and a need for abortion care it hasn't stopped. >> every single day. >> this continues as a personal tragedy, but also as a political issue scott, how do you think this plays particular? >> i mean, the ballot initiative in arizona, does that make the race they're more competitive? >> well as a high turnout election anyway, and if abortion rights are your number one issue, you're already turning out and likely already voting for harris. so these other ballot initiatives like in kentucky where i am in ohio and other states were in off year, low turnout elections and they absolutely did make a difference. i do think on this issue it's vital that trump really express his views on this, and he has, and he's going to have to continue to do so. and that is he has a pretty moderate position in the republican party. it's the old reagan position. he's pro-life, he believes in the three exceptions, rape, incest, and life of the mother to paul's point he supports abortion rights for people who've been victims of rape. he strongly supports ivf. i mean, trump is actually set forth a very center cut set of positions on

this topic that a lot of americans are going to say, yeah, that sounds pretty reasonable to meet. it is true. his court overturned roe versus wade, that didn't do anything except return it to our political process and let states make decisions about local policy. but for trump's own personal position he's not an extremist on this. he's he's kind of moderate and i think he ought to make that case. that is natasha. do you think voters will believe that the former president is a moderate on abortion and won't do anything else once an office, if he gets elected all i can say is that i'm as a millennial part of a generation that had rights when i was born. and now when i go to certain states, i don't have those rights. so we are talking about people who are living through feeling as if they're going backwards. >> and that is progress for many americans. >> so i actually don't think he can downplay it. i think he's been very clear that he's proud to have played a part in roe v. wade being overturned.

and so once you take that credit, you have to take the blowback that comes with that. and let's be clear, project 2025. and similar groups are going after medic medicine, abortion. most abortion takes place via medicine. they want to attack that. they want to attack. what many people rely on, what many people are actually in support of public opinion is it's not in favor of where donald trump stands and where his party stands. and i think we're going to see in november that people will come out for this issue what does it say to you that in north carolina you have an ad by biden trump campaign and now the former president is going to be there tomorrow what a difference three weeks makes i mean, when the republicans were having their convention people were serious people we're talking about trump winning minnesota hadn't gone republican in 50 years in a presidential election that we're talking about, trump

winning new york, new jersey being a swing state that was catastrophic now we're right back to michigan was constant pennsylvania in that blue wall arizona nevada, and georgia, in the south and now north carolina, again, which barack obama did carry, it's not too much of a reach for democrats. but the thing that's, i think that's been fundamental is 75% of the country think we're moving in the wrong direction so genius me thinks change would be a very good message. >> well, democrats couldn't run on change when they had joe biden. and frankly republicans can't run on change when they had donald trump. i've never seen anything like it. neither party was running on the obvious message democrats are now running on change and they're going to have a convention all about the future versus the past. and that's right where i think worth carolina is natasha alford, paul begala, scott jennings. thanks so much. still ahead of hacking detected within both with both presidential campaigns and even a break-in at a trump campaign headquarters in virginia while the latest on both

>> but jhiela amelia earhart be a practical joker some travelers in the history books in practical jokers all new thursday's attack on tbs set your dvrs now, tonight, new details on the alleged attempts to hack both the trump campaign and then biden-harris campaign earlier this summer, sources tell cnn the suspected iranian hackers were able to access the trump campaign network through longtime trump operative roger stone's personal email plus we're learning more about the investigation into a break-in at a trump campaign office in virginia with sources telling cnn that authorities have not found evidence it was politically motivated. >> she didn't senior justice correspondent evan perez and cnn, chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller, join me now. so evan, what are your sources telling you about the fbi investigations into the parent? attempt to hacks in both campaigns. >> yeah. anderson, this was an attempt by by hackers believed to be connected to the iranian government. and this was not

only targeting the trump admin, trump, the trump campaign, but also the biden-harris campaign in june and july, the fbi did some briefings with the trump campaign and with the biden campaign about these attempted breaches. now in the case of the trump campaign, it appears that this began with successfully fishing roger stone somebody who used to advise the former president and using that that account, they were able to refine their targeting, their fishing campaign, to be able to get to people inside the campaign and there is where it appears they were able to get some documents now, in the last few days you heard from news organizations including the new york times, washington post saying that they had received outreach from someone who had documents that appeared to come from the campaign. now it appears that's what these documents were. these were campaign documents that they were able to get simply because someone again, impersonated rodgers the

stone's account and was able to get a senior person inside the trump campaign to click on something and then get access to that to those documents. >> and then separately, evan, there's this break-in at a trump campaign office in virginia just the latest in that, right? >> the loudon county sheriff is investigating this break in which happened on sunday, anderson what they don't know right now is whether anything actually was taken. you see there the photograph of the person that they are circulating, that they believe was involved in this and one of the things that they were focused on today was doing a sweep of the office to make sure that there was no surveillance equipment or anything left behind in the office they said that they've been flooded and with tips from the public after circulating this photograph right now, again, it doesn't appear to be connected at all to what this hacking operation that happened. this is a trump campaign office out there in ashburn, virginia, but it also serves as a un office for the local republican party. the district out there in virginia

john, i mean, i know people don't do a lot of stupid things when they're committing crimes. >> but i mean, what do you make aid this break-in. obviously, it seems aid. do you think it's at all connected to the iranian alleged iranian scheme because i mean, this guy's not hiding because identity at all. know, and i mean anderson, you hit the nail right on the head in terms of investigative theory because the iranians went to great lengths and technical prowess was put to work to conceal their hand in these hacking operations. and some of the influence operations they have going on lie in trying to affect the campaign. this individuals going into a building where the cameras are visible where lighting is good. he's got his big backpack on the front and his face clearly visible if the if the watergate burglary, which was committed by pros was supposed to be a third rape burglary. i think this match maybe a fourth rape burglary. because if he's local, they're going to identify him before

tomorrow. they say they've gotten tons of tips. office burglaries are usually not looking to get into the super secret campaign strategy more often looking for laptops, things have value that you can stick in that backpack and sell later in john, just in terms of the hack, how are investigators able to tell who's behind it and what the goal is? but, this is fascinating. i mean this is work that's been going on through the intelligence analysts at microsoft. i mean, think about the times we live in now where microsoft and google have to have their own intelligence operations. but those analysts have been following the anomalous activities that looks like hacking and they've been alerting the harris campaign, the trump campaign, the fbi, who's also been alerting them. but when you look at the idea that there are four or five news websites that have been constructed by iranian actors according to these analysts, where they're mixing in wild

propaganda meant to stir controversies about gbtq issues, race issues police, election fraud, so on and so forth amidst regular news articles that they call from the internet, because they get a lot of traffic and then use janitor genitive ai tools to change the phrasing so it doesn't look like they've plagiarized them and then they stick propaganda in-between them to the average viewer they think i'm looking at a normal website. in the meantime, they're trying to hack into these campaigns as evan reported yesterday, they used roger stone with a middleman technique where when he clicked on something, it took him to a domain that allowed them to take control of his account. and then when somebody else clicked on what they thought he sent it, did the same. and they're trying to get things that are controversial out of those campaigns to add to those other sites the iranians don't want donald trump to get reelected. remember he killed qasem soleimani and they have, you know, threatened to kill

him and others about that. but they don't want kamala harris to get elected either. this is to stir the pot and to try and damage the process and keep americans at each other's throats as best they can and will crick were quick. >> one of the things that people forget is that they actually did this in 2020. i think a lot of people forget that the iranians the russians, and chinese, everybody was on guard for them in the end, russia, i'm sorry, the iranians were the only ones really that did anything and that's one of the things that i think the intelligence community escape has made keeping in mind is that they were expecting some more activity from the iranians evan perez, john miller. >> thank you for the reporting. appreciate it up next, a cnn investigation into what are called oh, what are being called nightmare conditions at he failed farming startup that was promoted and partially funded by republican vice presidential nominee j.d. vance, plus a live report you're athens, greece on the deadly wildfires that quickly been threatening that he ancient capital individually

convention monday at seven on cnn and strip streaming on max, well as republican vice presidential nominee j.d. >> vance has been touting himself as a champion for the working class. a new cnn investigation finds that before entering politics, vance was an early investor in a high-tech farming startup that promised to provide jobs for local kentuckian's the company ultimately failed and workers alleged they experienced, quote, nightmare conditions and were eventually replaced with foreign migrant workers, seen kyung lah has the story i'm not where it was a nightmare that should have never happened. >> that nightmare happened here at this nearly empty greenhouse in eastern kentucky, appharvest a failed high tech startup, promised local workers a future that spiraled into broken promises anthony morgan can bought into the company's public pitch that it was for appalachia by appalachians way was being told that, hey guys, he's from here thank you he is

j.d vance, the republican nominee for vice president i will be a vice president who never forgets where he came from leaning on his personal rise out of poverty to reach swing swing-state voters as donald trump's running mate i chose him because he's for the worker. >> he's for the people that works so hard and perhaps word treated like they should have been. >> but before politics, vance was a venture capitalist, an appharvest is first outside investor, eventually steering millions of dollars. so the company dance was a lead pitch man for the vertical farming started tweeting it was a supporter and investor writing, i love this company. >> it's a great business that's making a big difference in the world. >> the company's investor presentation pledged a commitment to appalachia estimating thousands of new jobs to a poverty stricken area a major emphasis with them was

we want to bring work to eastern kentucky. >> this is why we are here. >> morgan left a stable job to join appharvest as a crop care specialist, pruning the greenhouse grown vegetables a single father was six-year-old twins. the job rapidly turned when production fell behind under what, a dozen workers described to cnn as mismanagement, including dangerous conditions employees filed multiple complaints into the state federal government alleging heat exhaustion working in extreme temperatures and lack of water breaks. the cases were all closed with no citations. >> i think about the hottest that i experienced was around 128 degrees in science a couple days a week you'd have i won't show up and you seen people leaving on gurneys to go to the hospital, the cuts came next to promised worker benefits and then born workers came in to

fill those so-called local jobs. the second round of folks, they brought him was focused on work visas and they didn't ryan just a veyron pool. >> they brought bus loads, documents, show appharvest hired contract workers from outside the region. at one point, as many as 500. the majority of its workforce, not locals but that's not the image appharvest wanted the world to see. this is kentucky senator mitch mcconnell visiting in 2021 mitch mcconnell come in through with a migrant workers there at the time you're laughing. i mean, i look at the video, it doesn't look like there's any hid these guys. >> they took them out of the client i was gone and then mitch mcconnell's giving a speech about all this work that i have. >> harvest is brought eastern

kentuckian's. >> i liked the idea of thinking that debate of mark the waving the mexican so they were trying to hide them migrant specifically, yeah, this worker who asked not to be identified says the hiring of migrant workers became part of a mirage that appharvest was helping the region he took this video this is coworkers clapped for visiting investors. and anytime they did that, they kept workers off the floor doing are like stationary parade while people come through and yeah, it was it was awkward having to stand there and just be a prop a prop for what you know, look at all of these these poor folks were employing the worker says, it's impossible to forget about his time at appharvest as j.d vance ascends to national politics he's gotten away with a lot of money and fame for pretending to be

review of documents and interviews with a dozen former workers show that the problems emerged while vance was still a member of appharvest's board after he departed, he was still an investor and had more than $100,000 invested in the company according to disclosures. >> now, in a statement that a spokesperson for vance said to cnn, it says jd was not aware of the operational decisions regarding hiring employee benefits, or other workplace policies which were made after he departed, appharvest's board, like all early supporters, jd believed in appharvest's mission and wishes the company would have succeeded. >> anderson, king lah. >> thanks very much coming up the latest on those fast-moving wildfires in greece that have come dangerously near the capital killed at least one person we'll have a live report from outside athens oh

that shaped our culture coming this fall on cnn firefighters are still battling the worst wildfire of the year in greece. they began on sunday, quickly reach areas just outside of athens. massive smoke plumes like the ones you see there surrounding the parthenon darken the skies as increases capital least one person is known dead. thousands have been evacuated so far with new evacuation orders issued for an area near the capital just this morning, cnn's eleni giokos joins us from just outside athens. what is the latest warning? >> yeah, i understand. this has been the worst wildfire of the season once so intense that people would describing as a furnace ripping through suburbs, very close to the city center law, around 11 miles a, way to give you an idea of what's going on right now. you can tell it's not very windy. this is good news for

firefighters are still watching it very closely there's still fire alerts. as we speak right now. but if the wind picks up, that is the big risk right now, it is under control and the hope that it will stay that way. it is it's expected that we'll see more wins come wednesday, but we saw so many five trucks all around the affected areas trying to find spots of potential dangers, specifically plumes of smoke around 156 square kilometers of forest has been decimated and it's absolutely devastating see somebody on the ground. a lot of people asking how a fire could move so fast, over 40 kilometer radius did did they have warning? yeah. they had a lot of warnings. i mean, what when it started midday, sunday, we saw evacuation orders coming in swiftly, but were many people are complaining of complaining about is the fact

that they felt that the initial response by a and people on the ground wasn't effective enough, however, she's. have said that they're fighting gale force winds and it almost becomes impossible. anderson, i've been covering fires for the last few years. it is very unpredictable, very difficult to contain specifically in forest areas. when you have such strong winds speaking to some people on the ground. and this is very concerning. hearing the soil isn't one man state's mean, you know, i saw a fire at the top of the hill. i blinked and then suddenly it was in front of me and people had to flee these stories, continue, but it's one of pain. once of trauma because this keeps on happening in greece on a yearly basis and do authorities know what caused this wildfire yeah. >> i mean climate change, of course, is to blame. we're seeing heat waves not only hitting greece, but southern parts of europe and other parts of the world. we've been covering these stories for quite some time it is expected its going to get worse. you've got prolonged heat waves. you

have very dry areas. you don't have enough rain in the winter season, and then you've got those winds what is very concerning is when you have forest area like this burnt around a city like athens, the long-term effects it's anderson, a really harrowing, it's going to change the climates in the city for residents, as well as tourists in the long term, they don't know what that's going to look like. but if i think about fires, we have it last year in parnitha, which is what was considered the lungs of athens of forest area. there was completely decimated that again, is just compounding the issue that every year we have these stories and it's affecting livelihoods. it's affecting businesses and homes for the first time ever. we saw fires hit, reaching so close to the so as he center of athens. and i think authorities are watching very closely of what that means in the future. >> lynda giokos. thank you. i'm glad you're there. appreciate it. the news continues. the source with kaitlan collins starts now,
