4:00 pm
negotiators may be meeting again in cairo, egypt last time they met doha, hamas only met with the mediators afterwards. the hope now is that if hamas is sufficiently positive on this new proposal, that would at least agree to proximity toxin. they would be in one room. the israeli delegation would be in another room and the mediators would be going between the 21 thing is clear. we are seeing the urgency of a cease-fire every single day in the gaza strip. airstrikes in central southern and northern gaza, continuing every single day and also now eight dangerous new development, the emergence of polio in gaza according to the united nations, a ten month-old baby is now partially paralyzed due to polio. this is the first such case in 25 years and u.n. officials say they need a ceasefire to get children. they're vaccinated. >> well, our jeremy diamond reporting for us, jeremy, thank you very, very much. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. thanks very much for watching erin burnett outfront starts right now
4:01 pm
>> outfront next, we will win. those are the exact words from a competent kamala harris today. that's her quote as trump allies begin to panic publicly, say wake the f up, we are losing plus more breaking news. rfk junior about to appear with trump for the first time since kennedy dropped out of the race throwing his support behind trump, his cousins, stephen kennedy smith, who is backing harris, is my guest tonight and then this picture worth 1,000 words or more. i mean, that's really what stood out how to me when i saw it overnight, her great niece harris has great needs in the front row at the dnc watching history unfold. let's go outfront and good evening. >> i'm erin burnett out front tonight. we're going to win that is the exact quote from vice president kamala harris tonight speaking for the first time since historic convention speech it is clear that harris
4:02 pm
is entering what is now the final stage. i mean, right. them convention is done. now it is the runway to election day and she has incredible burst of momentum as she enters the stage. democrats saying that they've raised $7.2 million just during her acceptance speech alone it's a little over half an hour, $7.2 million. and then over the past week that the entire span of the convention, more than $100 these are unprecedented numbers that's the reality of it. and could explain some of the panic talk that we are hearing from the trump side of things tonight. listen to trump ally and conservative tv host eric bolling. he posted this video with the caption wake the f up. we're losing we're losing we're losing the race. >> we're losing the presidency and louisiana some level on the
4:03 pm
left, right now is overwhelming. they're trying to say that the democrats are the patriots. they're wearing camo hats with kamala harris name on it. flags that's ours i've known eric bolling for a long time back back in the day and you know what he's obviously believes, what he's saying there, that harris-walz camo way, is sold out until october i mean, you think in this day and age you could get one of those things. >> just order a whole another batch and they come in a couple of days. so this just gives you a sense of the reality out there as for the former president, trump is about to hold a rally any moment now, in arizona, rfk junior is going to be with him, so they're appearing for the first time today, rfk junior suspended his campaign endorsing trump. kennedy telling reporters the trump asked him to quote, enlist him in his administration. now the latest swing polls show kennedy with five or 6% of the vote. and so when you think about it overall, you may say, well that's not a big deal. actually, if that is the case in swing states, it is huge, it
4:04 pm
is everything. it is more than the margin between harris and trump in some of those same states kristen holmes is at the trump event in glendale, arizona, and kristen, you broke this news and rfk junior is going to be with trump on stage tonight where you are what more are you learning yeah it's not surprising, erin, because obviously we saw rfk endorsing donald trump after he suspended his campaign earlier today. >> this is seemed like it was a long time coming and i want to go through exactly how we got here or and what it will mean for the general election race going into november, right before the rnc. we know that these discussions i started happening between donald trump's team, as well as rfk's orbits specifically on donald trump's side, it was don junior tucker carlson and a man named omeed malik. omeed malik, who is a donor for both rfk junior and donald trump. they continue to broker these talks in particular, this became a almost emergency situation. >> you should win kamala harris was moved to the top of the ticket because there was a belief among trump's orbit
4:05 pm
that any votes that rfk was going to take from either candidate, we're likely to come from donald trump more so than kamala harris, something you heard rfk saying today that it became apparent to him that in these battleground states, he was actually taking more votes from donald trump while this amplified those kinds of conversations. >> and that's how we ended up here today, particularly after it became clear that there was really no path to the white house for rfk junior. know i've heard a lot of democrats play this down today saying that it's not that important. he has had a very controversial campaign obviously, we know that is true. this is a man who sat down for vanity fair article and brushed off questions of allegations of sexual assault with a nanny. he's also a man who admitted to leaving a bear cub carcass in central park and that is just some of what we heard during during his short-lived campaign, but this could happen an impact on the election, as you said particularly in those margins, just remember, this is
4:06 pm
going to be an election on both sides will say this, that is going to be determined by razor thin margins and any kind of movement of that needle will help just want to say one quick thing and then i'm going to let you go. i know i'm not taking up your time. >> but here in arizona for example, the most recent polling shows rfk junior had 6%, donald trump, 42%, harris, 45%, that 6%, even if you've got some of that, would certainly moves the needle moving forward. >> this is a critical battleground state. >> yeah, when you lay out those numbers, that is important. all right? kristen, there at that rally where they're about to take the stage together. we're going to see when they do and what rfk says. so you can hear it, obviously that is an important moment as we get into this final days of this election. alright, everyone's here with me, philip bump. so, you know, let's just go through what kristen just laid out okay. so arizona rfk was pulling 6% this is in the new world of a harris trump rivalry, 42%, trump 45% harris 6%. if that goes to trump would
4:07 pm
obviously when it for him now, maybe all six won't go. maybe the people who already like harris already left that rfk group. it's unclear, but it shows how much it could matter yeah, exactly. >> right. i mean, i think the broader question here is lots of things can matter, right? and this could be one of those things. i think there are three things i would keep in mind. the first is that when we're talking about a third party candidate, a lot of those people are loosely attached to partisan candidates in the first place. and i'm probably a lot of them are likely to just stay home. right. so that's 6%. i don't think that that's 6%, for instance, trump, there's two other things here. the first days are there trump supporters were sort of iffy on trump. mostly sporting because i don't like harris who see rfk potentially join the administration are like, oh, no, i'm not i can't support that. rfk is a very controversial person. it is possible that he can wholesome trump for trump, it was support from trump. and then of course there's basically someone handed donald trump and unpinned hand grenade no one, no was what robert kennedy is going to do. no one knows what else is going to come out about him. i think it's likely
4:08 pm
something else will and then all of a sudden, trump is accountable form. until this point, trump could say he's not my guy. i have nothing do with him. >> now as team. >> okay. so here's the thing on this in five to 6% in the swing states dave wasserman from the cook political report senior editors. there. he was talking to the new york post and he told them this was interesting when i said made point that these polls are all post harris being in the race, right? he said most of kennedy's left-leaning support had already disbursed to harris so this could represent a meaningful benefit to trump. he's talking about the rfk endorsement what do you think about that i mean, he's saying in these five weeks, these rfk numbers are the people who just won't go for harris that that's possible so here's my thought about it and not to trivialize it because you're right, five and 6% is meaningful and it's meaningful if these are high propensity voters, which i don't think there's any evidence that they are the people that are supporting rfk. >> i mean, let's be clear, though there the three of them trump-vance and rfk, they are h audrey trifecta. they are weirdos, they are crazy and extreme. and the folks who buy
4:09 pm
into that, right, rfk is crew are the anti-vaxxers. right? they are the extreme of the extreme. and those folks tend to be anti-establishment i'm an anti-government and low propensity voters, right? so it is unlikely that they're all going to show up and animated, right? so i'm not concerned at all yet. i think that the three of them can go and hang out, do whatever they're going to do. but unless they find some kind of spark, which i don't think they can. they're not going to be able to overcome what harris has created in terms of enthused marc lotter, what do you think about that point well, look, there's this election came down to 43,000 votes in three states. >> so any movement of the needle, 1% here, a few thousand votes there changes the outcome. and look, i think kamala harris had already siphoned off most of the left-leaning voters for rfk junior when she got into the race, which means the majority of the remaining are either truly independent or likely to be leaning trump. and the trump
4:10 pm
campaign thinks and their internal polling shows 55, 60% of those remaining five, 6% are trump supporters. that's a huge deal in states that were decided by 1011000 votes. >> absolutely. now, when you talk about some of those people might be leaning trump lulu, then you have to get at does it matter what they kennedy and trump actually seem to think about each other before this detente, where they're going to appear together, they actually had spoken about each other here's what kennedy jr. said about trump there's many things that president trump has done that are balling president trump presided over the greatest restriction on individual liberties. >> this country has ever known him overthrowing, trying to overthrow the election clearly is threat to democracy choice trump's running against me,
4:11 pm
lulu, you know, a couple of those things weren't interview i did with him. >> me. he believes those things so first of all, let me say that rfk sr. is turning over in his grave. i just want to note that for the record because you know, rfk jr. has capitalized on that name and push forward his campaign. and the fact of the matter is is that he's a political opportunist and that is very it clear by the fact that he was also in talks with kamala harris's campaign to see what kind of position he could get there. they weren't playing ball. and so he went to trump and the record is very clear in what statements he's made. the fact is though, that they do have a lot in common, there is a very deep strain of conspiracy see theories that run through there. a lot of rfk junior's supporters are sort of trump curious. i'm not convinced though that this is going to be that meaningful. i do think that these are low propensity voters. i think when you're talking about 55% of
4:12 pm
45%, where they break either way, nobody knows this isn't a group that has been pulled very closely. it isn't a group that has been followed very closely. and so i'm not convinced that this is going to be determinative so this brings me to the point that, that we were playing eric bolling if you know, you can talk about a percent here and there and like it all matters. but then there's the big picture of maybe it doesn't because this is the situation that this whole thing appears there's to be let me just play eric bolling you're losing we're losing the race. we're losing the presidency. any news he has some level on the left, right now, is overwhelming. they're trying to say that the democrats are the patriots. they're wearing camo hats with kamala harris's name. i camouflage that's ours. >> i mean, you know, it is sort of the image and a statement though that does say a lot, right? that, that, that is what this whole taking patriotism back. but the democrat, he is honing in on something significant yeah, and it's something of the democratic convention went out of its way to highlight, right?
4:13 pm
>> i mean, you've had all those usa signs. if you think about what signs you saw the most as this once i've said u.s. and it is attempt not necessarily to reclaim patriotism for the democrats, but instead to neutralize it and to do what as adam kinzinger of sudden his speech yesterday democrats are patriots to, let's set that off the table, and then let's also think about what donald trump did after 2020 through the lens of patriotism i do think it's worth noting to boeing's point, like we also have polling that excludes kennedy from the picture. we have head-to-head polling on harris and trump, and that polling still shows terrorists leading even after kennedy's out of the picture you know, the question i think we get to what that is is this a moment where we've reached where the campaign is going to be, or is this momentum that is it's going to propel harris to have a larger lead over the next few days. if that's the case then this can anything really doesn't know. >> what do you think mark about the camo hats and the point that eric bolling is making well, and i've done erica long time. i consider him a friend, but i've been doing this for 20 years and i think he's wrong. actually, when you look
4:14 pm
at the polling, you look at the polling averages right now. kamala harris is trailing where joe biden was by 567 points, both nationally and in the battleground states. and that's a real problem. some for kamala harris and in what way now hat's not the overall polls. >> just to give you a chance, just real clear politics when you look at the real clear, when you look at the real clear politics average, which averages out obviously, a lot of the polls. she's trailing where joe biden was at this point in 2020 by 567 points, both nationally and in the key battleground states and again, i raised that came down to 43,000 votes. you can't have a 567 point shift and to the camo hats, i mean, good. try they flooded the arena with flags and usa, they were burning usa flags outside of their convention and none of them were wearing maga hats lulu let me ask you about the point that mark made and thank you, marc for explain that because he's obviously not talking about where biden was prior to harris getting in the race, but to wear at 20:20 at this point, is
4:15 pm
that a reason as mark lays it out for concern i mean, it's a reason for concern, of course, but i don't think that this is the 2020 race. i think we're in a very different race, and i think that kamala harris is a very different candidate. we are in a moment and you saw that during the democratic convention, where people are elated, they are impassioned in 2020 that was not the case. it was very much like, let's beat trump the message from the democratic convention that i found so interesting they did not at any point say we want, we exclude anyone. we demonize republicans. we don't want them. we think that they're extremist. they were using very inclusive language and really pinpointing trump as the problem, not people in his party, not people who might follow him. that is a really clear distinction to what the republican party did during their convention and generally, and donald trump himself, who really tries to paint the opposition in the way that you've heard him talk. i hate
4:16 pm
them. they're bad people we don't want them. >> i heard i should obviously i'm sure you agree with lulu in the sense that you don't it's not the same race as 2020 but what about the point that marc points out? i mean, it is interesting if you compare the polling to say that she is because it doesn't from the world that we're in, doesn't feel that way. it's really doesn't feel this way on a friday after that convention, but it is interesting and we'll see what those numbers show in the next few days. >> honestly, i feel like that's apples to oranges, right? like this is not the same race. this is many years later the campaign strategy is completely different than the candidate is completely different. and i think that if you really look at what happened at the convention, this was an opportunity to marginalize donald trump and the five people that he hangs out with, right? not to say everybody's awful, but to say those folks are weird, they're not like us and us are eric and we are patriots. and this is a big tech, right? those folks are kind of a sideshow and that's very different than the conversation that was happening in 2020, which was they are bad for democracy and he's actually
4:17 pm
a huge problem now we're saying there actually a very small faction of society. let's kind of ignore them, marginalize them, push them aside, and let's all come to the other is married and messaging. >> all right. all thank you very much. >> yeah. yeah. go ahead, mark others say the one thing we did not hear at the convention was dealing with people's high prices of gas, groceries, and securing the border. >> and so no matter good vibes, is going to lower people's bills and that's really what this campaign is going to come down to. >> well, we'll see if it is right now it isn't. we'll see if that changes. alright, thanks so much to all of you. i appreciate it. and next live pictures of trump's rally in arizona where rfk junior plans to join the former president after suspending his campaign, kennedy's cousin will respond outfront after this. and one of the most powerful images from the democratic convention vice president kamala harris is great niece watching her from the front row. york city mayor eric adams is outfront next on this historic moment. and new reporting tonight from inside the trump campaign about the former president and his plans
4:18 pm
for next month debate. that he plans to go really personal despite warnings from those close to him to not do that. is it a mistake sunday, summer means millions flock to him america's national parks, people are in thrall with these animals and i don't blame them but nature can turn disastrous move tourists has crossed the line. >> very peaceful on the wolf, but when pushed, they will defend themselves. >> how close is too close? >> when i saw him turn instantly, i knew he was going to come after me he started buying my left flank. >> my initial thought was definitely in a dei, the whole story with anderson cooper sunday at 8:00 on cnn and if we, when we get to tell you how liberty mutual customizes car insurance. so you only pay for what you need. >> isn't that what you just did stand you know, you gotta if

you want to win. not only pay for what you need labor day chin up stiff upper lip real men don't ask for today. many of these ideas no longer holds true, especially if you have advanced prostate cancer so challenge what you've been told. >> asked your doctor about your psm a status and what it could mean for you? >> one scan can change the course of your prostate cancer journey. as it turns out, asking for help is the manlius thing you can do? >> with cargo ruse, filter millions of listings to land the perfect deal only you could do things your way all the time imagine get it with guru's one to trade bitcoin plus oil plus gold plus so much more.

4:22 pm
brain why to 231231. now i'm bill weir on the california coast and this is cnn breaking news, vice president kamala harris's campaign. >> now, just responding to rfk junior's saying this as he dropped out of the race, endorsing trump following my first discussion with president trump i tried unsuccessfully to open similar discussions with vice president harris. >> in president harris declined to meet or even to speak with me i want to go straight to
4:23 pm
priscilla alvarez, who has been speaking with a harris campaign so priscilla in our we just heard what rfk junior said and now you've talked to the keras campaign. >> they're responding, what are they telling you? >> well, their focus is on the voters. they see an opportunity here to try to appeal. does some of those voters who may have gravitated to rfk junior because they were disillusioned by trump. and then candidate president joe biden so now they're putting out kamala harris as an option saying this in a statement, this is from the campaign chair and o'malley dillon quote, for any american out there who is tired of donald trump and looking for a new way forward. ours is a campaign for you. this is echoing the message that the vice president gave yesterday during that speech at the democratic national convention. and something we can anticipate in the weeks to come because of course it's going to be a close race and to get to these voters are going to have to spend money. now, we know the campaign has already put aside millions of dollars in digital and tv ads. but i'm also told
4:24 pm
that harris advisers are having conversations about a keep the momentum going on, fundraising, especially the grassroots donations. those are harder to predict so they have to capitalize on moments or create moments to inspire those donations. i'm also told they're talking about fundraising events, including potentially splashy wants to keep that up. now, of course, the vice president is clear eyed on what comes next, and i'm also told that the debate that's september presidential debate is another event that she is focused keenly on in the weeks to come erin. >> all right. priscilla, thank you very much for that new reporting from the harris campaign outfront. now, stephen kennedy smith is our robert f. kennedy junior's first cousin so the way it goes is this steven is the son of john kennedy smith, who is john f. kennedy and robert f. kennedy sr. so his father, stephen smith, a key political adviser to jfk, stephen endorsed president biden's reelection. he now supports kamala harris. so just to steven, everyone understands where you're coming from here today. your cousin
4:25 pm
suspended his campaign, throws his support behind trump for, you this i mean, obviously deeply personal. this is your first cousin. you have known each other since you were very young boys just to show pictures you as you were growing up, teens a lot of your life. this is your first cousin. what do you what do you think about this endorsement tonight? >> well, look, i agree with what one of your guests said earlier, which is that robert f. kennedy, sr. would be rolling over in his grave his most famous speech was after martin luther king was killed and he said what we need in this country is not division, is not hatred, is not violence in law plus ness. and that's exactly what donald trump has promulgated by promoting the attack on the capitol that killed so many people. so for bobby to endorse donald trump is an explicit betrayal of his father's stated values that's
4:26 pm
as clearly as i can say it. the other thing i would say is that he was judged by a court new york to have filed a false ballot application in new york. so he was going to be removed from the ballot in new york, as well as 18 other states similarly, in arizona, he couldn't account for his signatures. he was going to be off the ballot in arizona, so he really had no choice but to drop out of the race and in the weeks up until today, he tried to negotiate a deal with both different campaigns. so if i were an rfk voter, i would be wondering about following the example and the recommendation of someone who is trying to make a deal for himself with both campaigns that that seems self-serving, an opportunistic. >> so i know obviously you see this as a point of, you know, political opportunism expediency. perhaps there are other words that you would use
4:27 pm
that they capture your feelings better. but your cousin has said that the problem here is that the democratic party left him and that the democratic party has shifted. and he talked a little bit about that. i wanted to give you a chance to hear what he said it'd become the party of war censorship eruption big pharma, big tech big money we often references to this point about his father rolling over in his grave. he references his father. he references your uncle. he references them, and he says the opposite. he says they would not recognize today's democratic party he is, staying true to the principles as he sees of his his father and his uncle. do you think it's possible that he does truly believe that i mean, i don't know what bobby believes because he's he's been a democrat and he's been an independent now apparently he's a republican he's
4:28 pm
negotiated for a job with both parties at the same time he's made a lot of inconsistent and bizarre statements. >> so i really can't say what bobby believes as far as what the democratic party stands for you know, the democratic party under jfk, rfk and em case to it for universal health care. it stands for protection of the environment. it stands for help for tax cuts for the middle class. it stands for human rights and civil rights those are all the things that kamala harris spoke about last night. so the democratic party is still stands for the same thing. the only problem bobby doesn't understand, it's not about him. it's about the country and so the fact that he's disappointed in the democratic party says more about him than it does about the democratic party all right? >> well, stephen, i appreciate your taking the time. and as i said, i know i know it's difficult time when its someone you've known your whole life, a
4:29 pm
part of your family. so thank you very much for coming out and sharing your thoughts. >> absolutely. and you know, i just want to say that i grew up and you may relate to this aaron in a catholic school, in a catholic school, i was taught, you can just like someone's behavior, but you always treat them courteously. and so that's the way we handle things in our family, but i felt an obligation to speak out on this. >> alright. while steven thank you very much for doing that. i appreciate that. showing it here. sure. >> well, next, vice president kamala harris is rise to the top of the democratic ticket is a significant moment for many, including young women, like a great niece, watching harris making the street mayor eric adams outfront next to talk about what clearly will be an iconic photo no matter how this goes. plus breaking news as we wait for trump to take the stage with rfk jr. we are now learning that more than 100 people there have had to be treated by medics were going to take you there have i got news for you?

that it's really about the child, not harris, there's something magnificent about that. the new york times photographer todd heisler, captured this moment the little girl there is harris's eight-year-old great niece, amara, watching as her great aunt became the first black and asian american woman to lead a major party's presidential ticket. that moment just captured their outfront now is the democratic mayor of new york, eric adams and mayor adams a lot to ask you about. but first you know that picture, it really capped captured everything. and as i said, what i loved about it was, it was about the little girl that she was the center of it and looking up, what did you think when you saw that image? >> well. great photographers, they have the ability to capture moments in a real way because sometimes we are looking at this grand event that's taking place on the stage of our political history. but in reality, there's a lot of substories and subtext imagine what any immigrant is
4:36 pm
feeling right now for the possibilities have been in the greatest country on the glow. and this little girl in a little girls across america who are seeing the possibilities. and it's a wonderful moment i think for all of us. and i hope is not lost on us. how great this is for american story. this is the greatest country on the globe, nowhere is dream attached to his name. but the american dream so there's obviously what you're talking about is an enthusiasm that is felt by, by the harris campaign and certainly was felt in that convention center. >> and by democrats across the country many democrats though, are warning that the honeymoon won't last unless u.s. luck congresswoman, she spoke yesterday and you and i were both there. we heard her. she's had a tough senate race and her message was, and i quote her, don't get high on your own supply and think everyone is as energetic as you are do you share that concern or do you think she just saying that because you just you can't get too greedy and to shore too early know, i believe
4:37 pm
she's 100% correct. >> look where we were a month or so ago and look at where we are now. anyone that understand politics, 70, 70 days is a long time. and i say it over and over you have to stay focus and not be distracted and you have to grind. we have to work for this and places like new york city, we need to use our time to go to those swing states and not just sit here in new york and be filled on how well we're doing here and all the smiles that come with it this is going to be a job that you have to complete they get over the finish line. >> all right. here's the thing. you are on the front lines of one of the substantive issues that is not getting enough conversation in this campaign as of yet. and maybe it won't but i'm talking about the border. it does matter. and you are at the center of it. so the beginning of your term, mayor you supported president biden very loudly and clearly so let me just let everyone hear in your own words how you felt on
4:38 pm
the biden of brooklyn. i'm sure if you were to ask him, what is his favorite mayor here clearly tell you is eric alright, that was you then you supported his reelection bid. all right. you did. but you also spoke out against him and his administration and you did it loudly and clearly because of the unprecedented migrant crisis that you have faced in new york. all right, here are just a few of the things maire that you have said we're not getting the support that we deserve here in new york city. the president and the white house has failed. new york city on this issue. >> all right. so you call it like you saw it, like your city was experiencing it. i should note, you did not have a speaking slot this week at the dnc do you think you fell out of favor with the white house and that's why you didn't get a speaking slot well, first i want to go back. >> not only did i call myself to buy a new brooklyn, i was strongly in favor in 2020 of the harris run. i just feel
4:39 pm
there's a strong alignment and something that democratic party has misfold long time. we need to stop, apologize guys for the fact that we believe that public safety and reform can go together. we have done a great job in doing that, and many democrats from new york did not speak. you look at leticia. james has really been a real important leader around this issue. she wasn't on that stage. this is not the time for us to sit on vinci say coast, push him, put me in a game, put me in again, know what's the blueprint? and that? is what is going to take. what do we need to do to win the campaign? put together to speak is that they want i'm fully in compliance with that, and i want to know how do we win, not how do i get on the stage? this is not about eric, my understanding you're being gracious, but yet you are facing and your big democratic city is facing a migrant crisis. and there's no way around it and people who live in the city and are american citizens have faced cuts because of the migrant crisis.
4:40 pm
and you have been on the frontlines of that hank steinkamp is a political consultant for bill clinton. he told the new york post about you're speaking slot. this is punishment for adams criticizing the administration on the migrant crisis. it's not just bad for him. it's bad planning by the party. that's the question mare put aside that you're gonna be personally gracious about it. is it bad planning by the party did not take on this issue and address it directly. >> well, first of all, i'm not being gracious. i'm being factual. i want to win and i know how to win because i wanted just about every race i've been in. and i know when you run these races, everyone wants to tell you how to run them instead of allowing the team to do so, the migrant crisis is is real, and i'll put out a call to get executive the vote is so we can do things at the border. i remember the biden-harris team put in place a bipartisan piece of legislation that the republican party decided not to move on. and we must address the issue. but i also know as i moved through the streets, affordability, house and having

4:50 pm
kelly mayes, who has been fighting for many years to try to end the corruption at cdc and fda and usda and these institutions he's regulatory agencies are actually run by the big food processing company that is the big ag and the chemical companies out there supposed to regulate and he's said to me he'd been advising me for many years and on my campaign and he told me that he was also advising president trump and he asked if i would talk to president trump and i said, of course and about a few minutes later i got a call from the president and we talked, we had a very good talk and he invited me to come see him that and i went to many, many apple is we met again a couple of
4:51 pm
weeks later in florida and we talked about not about the things that separate us because we don't agree on everything but on the values and issues at bind does together. and one of the issues that he talked about was having safe food and ending the chronic disease epidemic our heart children and old, the unhealthy is sickest children in the world don't you want healthy children and don't you want the chemicals out of our food? and don't you want the regulatory agencies to be free from corporate corruption and that's what president trump
4:52 pm
told me that he wanted. he also told me that he wanted to end the grip of the neo-cons on u.s. foreign policy he said he didn't want any more 200 trillion, a 200 billion wars in ukraine that we could use that money back here in the united a safest the best way to build a safe america? is to rebuild our industrial base and rebuilt the middle class in this country don't you want a president who's going to get us out of wars and who's going to rebuild the middle class in this country he told me that he
4:53 pm
wanted to end the censorship because all basis of american democracy is the free flow of information then we know a government that can silence its opponent has license for any kind of atrocity and can you think of any time you can look back in history and say that the people who were censoring we're the good guys. they're always the bad guys because it's always the first step down that slippery slope to totalitarianism oh, you want a president who's going to protect americans freedoms? he
4:54 pm
is going to protect us against docked algerian isn't and i want to ask you oh, you want a safe environment for your children oh, you want it? oh, you want to know that the food that you're feeding them is not filled with chemicals that are going to give them cancer and chronic disease do, you want a president that's going to make america healthy again thank you all very, very much. and god bless you, and god bless america all right so you
4:55 pm
just heard rfk junior, those were very brief remarks that anticipate actually i felt but it could've gone longer than that. but first appearance together, endorsement obviously hitting on his key issues chronic disease, which was the one that fell on the most fertile ears with a lot of people, right? auto immune diseases and infertility and obesity. big food, all of that foreign policy neocons make them are help make america healthy. answered the line. all right. but as you say, those aren't specifically chronic disease, anything you've ever heard trump say before, you know, actually looked earlier. >> i look too, because what he just said there, what rfk said is what he said when he dropped out earlier today. i look to see if donald trump could ever mentioned chronic disease, particularly this context. me, he had not. i mean, he just he did this. i mean, look, it's donald trump there's pictures of the guiding mcdonald's on his plane like this is not a guy who's deeply dedicated to healthy tel aviv, right? i mean, the other things he said, i'd like to think about just total nonsense phrase referring to this twitter files stuff which has been debunked 1,000
4:56 pm
times over. he said down from is going protect us from totalitarianism because of the censorship thing like all of these things that he's saying, right? again that you go back to the point that he also tried to get kamala harris to like give him a deal as well. so i mean, it's just it's also just like starkly insincere in a way that i think is pretty remarkable. >> and yet, i mean, obviously you hear that's a rally. so you're going to have the response you have ayisha but is it possible that this does fall on some fertile years? particularly because he's leading with the issue that did that many people found compelling, right? the issue of chronic disease is an issue that americans do face, but even the communication of it just felt a little bit incoherent to me and that's the thing that struck me because it actually did feel rather trump lite. and that he repeated the same three lines twice, once at the beginning then coming back to it, don't you want it to be safe for your kids and get rid of nichols and food, right? so getting it did it was formulaic. it felt like a whole lot of ramble in the middle. they felt contradictory as well because he went into this thing about totalitarianism. and do
4:57 pm
you want somebody who's going to weaponize the government against you? >> write in fact, that's exactly what donald trump has threatened to do time and time again, is weaponized it's the government against his enemies, essentially. >> so it all felt like really aligned with his rally because it's just as rambling and incoherent as most of what trump has. >> mark and luke, i want to get you in here. tom foreman is here now though, because it's philip was talking about this issue of chronic disease. how does it actually fit? what is trump said? tom foreman, what have you found? i'm just looking over the facts here are the facts here in 2020, the world health organization looked at 180 countries around the world, rfk junior just said that our children are now the unhealthiest sickest children in the world the world health organization said, yes, we ranked 39th in the world out of 180 countries. >> not as good as it could be, but nowhere near the worst. and when he kept saying don't you want a safe environment for your children, don't you want to save environment for your children? it's important to remember trump as president rolled back, dozens of measures
4:58 pm
out there to make clean water, clean air. the very the things that create a clean environment for our children right. >> and of course, you're talking about boots by when you talk about safe environment. i mean, obviously gun violence being the top issue and they're talking about food lulu, does this resonate though, with those core voters that we were talking about when you're talking five or 6% was rfk pulling in a state like arizona, which is large larger than the current margin polling between harris and trump it was kind of jibril and there were a lot of coded language there for people who follow rfk so if you are a believer in some of the conspiracy theories about our food sources and autism and vaccines then who are going to be primed to accept what he just said. >> but for the vast majority of people what he said is not true. first of all, and secondly, it doesn't really resonate in that way because
4:59 pm
yes, of course we all want healthy food for our kids and yes, of course we all want a safe environment. but donald trump is not synonymous with those causes and it just seems like this is the largest stage rfk jr. has ever had. i mean, a trump rally he was not someone who was pulling in the huge crowds before, even though he was polling well at a certain point. and again, it just smacks of political opportunism lot of people who are watching at one point. and actually for a long point, up to six months pulling close to 20%. >> but post biden dropping out, but had dropped to about 5%. mark. do you think that this does anything? do you think we're going to see them again or was this sort of i don't know. the one time sort of awkward wonder well, it's not so much and i don't know if we'll see them together again or not. i think the key is what happens with the data obviously right now, you are now going to move into a get out the vote mode. make sure they're registered, makes sure as we were talking earlier, if they
5:00 pm
are low propensity, voters, make sure they are getting think to the polls. so if the trump campaign can then work with the kennedy campaign in the battleground, states use the data they already have on their supporters to try to mobilize limb, then that's very powerful because trump's team is outstanding at using digital to connect with people and get them to the polls that will give you a point on that. >> i understand there's questions about the signatures in the state, you know. >> but but putting that aside there were sizable number of people who were supportive of this, right? and they extensively because of by virtue of getting signatures, do have a lot of data well, yeah. >> i mean, but there's a difference between having dad and they're having politically useful that i'm he's got to look any campaign had stuff that they're going to voter database of their calling in order to pick up anything other than a name exactly. there may be an email address which isn't not useful, but it much it isn't already made. >> alright, we'll all thank you very much. appreciate it on this friday night following the democratic national convention
