rapinoe's and that is so critical. we are moving in the right direction and we are making that change and we see this uptick and you said it, we have sidney simone, anna, sunni, sophia, alyssa, lindsey in the olympics and in playing in women's professional sports that are truly making an impact. and i think what we've seen in women's soccer specifically is now there's this interest because we see that the business works and the business is going to lead the way. and before it may have been seen as like oh, we love women's sports. it's a charity. >> it's not a dirty, it is a business that we have sponsors. the media rights and things >> and we are very proud and as a bay fc co-founder, i am proud about what it is that we are doing for our
9:01 pm
>> tonight on 360, the race is now a race. how the post-labor day sprint, the white house got off to a start and breaking news that a top trump volunteer was his barred from the campaign for saying a key battleground state is no longer a battleground state also tonight, why the entire race could end up like this tied at 269 electoral votes at peace. and how one district in one state might unlock it. also tonight, as protests continue in israel after the execution of six israeli hostages in gaza, we look at the long brave efforts and jon polin and rachel goldberg bring their son hersh, and all the hostages in gaza home good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin tonight with breaking news. the
9:02 pm
trump campaign tonight flatly denying report that it is effectively writing off the state of new hampshire word came in an email from a top campaign volunteer. now, a former top volunteer in it, tom mountain writes that the campaign has quote determined that new hampshire jurors no longer a battleground state. he went on to say this means the campaign is suspending all resources, staffers, supplies, speakers, et cetera, to new hampshire. a trump campaign spokesperson tells cnn what he said is not true. we'll have more on this shortly. it's happening 63 days until the election and just seven days until the first and so far, only debate the two sides have actually agreed to, which takes place in philadelphia in a sign of how much pennsylvania matters this time cnn has learned the vice president harris will be preparing for that debate in pittsburgh, arriving on thursday and staying five days there until tuesday before traveling to philadelphia for the event itself day. she was just in pittsburgh yesterday, reminding voters that ballot start going out in two weeks and saying this when some of the crowd
9:03 pm
started yelling that the former president was going to jail handled that november on that note, two major legal developments for the former president, his lawyers in a court filing late today signaled to he'll be pleading not guilty to the revise election interference indictment that special counsel jack smith, secured last week, and a federal district judge also late today, denied the former president's request to move his hush money case, which ended in 7:42.34, felon felony convictions to federal court. >> the judge finding there is nothing in the supreme court's presidential immunity ruling that altered his view that the payments were private on official acts mr. trump has also focused heavily on pennsylvania. he'll be there for a televised town hall tomorrow with fox's sean hannity, who air to conversation with him today on his radio show. in it, he talked again about his trip to arlington national cemetery last week with the parents of troops killed in the pullout from afghanistan. during the visit which he made into a campaign video, the army as his
9:04 pm
people were made aware of federal laws against that. and that the cemetery worker who reminded them was quote, abruptly pushed aside. here's what the former president said about it today to sean hannity. >> everything was good and i left and we said goodbye to everybody. i always love love. it was no conflict. there was no fight. it was no anything. and i get home that night and i get a call from one of the people that is press sir, there's a story that your people got into a tremendous fight with people representing the cemetery. it was totally false i get enough publicity, but i'd like to get the less publicity well, to be clear, the former president was there at the request of family members, and as he's mentioned many times, some are upset and the biden administration both for how the afghan pullout was handled and how they personally were treated by the white house in the wake of at all, none of that changes the fact that donald trump is saying that the united states army is lying, or that he has a long record of
9:05 pm
bad mouthing, serving and retired retired officers. >> some of whom he referred to inaccurately as my generals and others according to one of those generals, former chief of staff john kelly as suckers and losers. now, some of whom like the late senator john mccain, endured years of torture. and in north prison even turning down his captors offered to release him early because his father was a navy admiral well, at the time hidden be a war hero, moore, he's a war half years, he's the war. here are because he owns caption on jim, who's veteran is that are buried there. it's a violation because these rules are set in place. the people who are buried there don't have an opinion where the point of arlington cemetery is to go and show respect for the men and women who have given their lives for this country. when you make it political, you take
9:06 pm
away the risk expect of the people who are there to mccain recently became registered democrat and now says he's voting for kamala harris, joining us now cnn political commentators, david urban, kate bedingfield, also, zolan kanno youngs, cnn political analyst and white house correspondent for the new york times so david, what do you make of this idea that new hampshire may no longer be in play for the trump campaign. that campaign saying is not true, multiple republican operatives in the state told cnn that this volunteers assessment is accurate he understood, i know better than the second guess. anybody what's going on in a state other than pennsylvania my my my world is solely focused on the commonwealth of pennsylvania. and if the campaign says new hampshire is in play, i believe it's in play kate, how aggressive do you think the harris campaign should be in new hampshire well, look, i think ultimately new hampshire is a state that is going to come home and vote blue. >> i think. but i think what we're seeing here is a reflection of the fact that the trump, the map for trump, the
9:07 pm
path for trump have dramatically shrunk since kamala harris went to the top of the ticket now that mean that kamala harris has the election in the bag that doesn't mean i'm even saying she has new hampshire in the bag, but it is demonstrably true as you look at where the campaigns are spending, you see that harris clearly has potential path through the rust belt and also through the sunbelt trump. it's looking less and less than looking at fewer and fewer options. so i think for the campaign for the keras campaign, that's an opportunity to be on offense as an opportunity to force the trump campaign to spend in places where they might not otherwise want to spend places like north carolina where the trump campaign is being forced to ramp up their spending because they're seeing harris making moves there. so i think what harris campaign he's doing doing overall is putting in place an aggressive strategy to try to put the trump campaign on the defensive in some of these states that, you know, just six weeks ago, they felt really confident they were going to be able to win. >> zolan. does it surprise you that the former president is
9:08 pm
still talking about what happened at arlington picking up it's like picking a fight with the army now. i mean, is that going to win him new voters i guess there's two questions. >> there doesn't surprise me not necessarily. right. i mean, this is sort of groundhog day and in a sense, we often hear from republican strategists, allies of the former president, that they want the trump camp campaign and the former president to focus his messaging on the political vulnerabilities of the biden administration. whether that be the economy, whether that be immigration or even in this case with this visit the withdrawal from afghanistan and often they that discipline is not there. the focus on on that messaging does not stay, but you see it devolve into personal attacks or distractions at which seemed to occur with this case. look, the fact is this statement that he made on sean hannity, does undermine the initial statements that his campaign made in the wake of this
9:09 pm
evidently clash with this official in arlington cemetery right after that event, his campaign said that they were going to release footage showing the physical blocking here criticized that employee at the national cemetery, that that doesn't align with the comments that we heard from that clip released from hana the today. >> i mean, they said the person who is mentally unstable, david, i mean, does it make sense to you that he would still be out there talking about this? i mean, is there something that he gets out of it? >> look, anderson, here's what i the only thing to echo what zolan said. you know, what i find amazing is that we're talking about this, this kind of shuffled back and forth between staffers rather than the issue the larger issue of how these young men and women got killed or why they got killed in the first place? the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan, the fact that the current vice president i'd states kamala harris, has been
9:10 pm
asked for three-and-a-half years to meet with these family members by their family members themselves, and that she's denied to meet with them. and so the fact that david that's not what that's not what your candidate is talking. >> that's not what donald trump is talking about. i mean, he he's talking, he's he's talking about the campaign video that was put out claiming that he doesn't want published today when clearly they did want to get this this, this thing out there well, you know, anderson, the families asked, i've watched the videos now. the families asked for the cameras to be there so they can memorialize this i understand that ant that arlington does have a policy, the army does have a policy and kate and an eye and anderson, you've seen not presidential, when the president is walking, there are people 30, yards in front of the president and behind the president, i am sure that what he said is true. he did not see any of this. he probably wasn't aware that there was a there was a shuffle if there was one that took place, he came and went without notice. i'm certain of it, and i'm sure the family members didn't
9:11 pm
know either. >> and yet kate, i mean, they did put out a campaign video of it it with image. it's not just pictures and it was texts on top of it you now have the activity son of late republican senator john mccain speaking out against the former president's actions at arlington, endorsing harris mean, do you think that endorsement like that kate actually has any impact on independent voters? >> well, i think what it does is remind people of the long history that donald trump has of demeaning people who served obviously very personally, as we heard in the soundbite, the top of the show demeaning his father in a really brutal way after he served as a prisoner of war on behalf of this country in uniform so i think what it does is it reminds people that donald trump is an unpalatable option. it reminds independent voters, you know, i don't like the way this man speaks of people who have both given the ultimate sacrifice for this country and also made the sacrifice of putting on the
9:12 pm
uniform deploying, serving americans are proud of their military and their proud of veterans. and the idea that we're going to reelect a president who says these kinds of things. i think that is a really off-putting thing for independent voters. i think what john mccain son did today was quite brave and courageous. and yes, i do think it matters because is it helps paint a picture of somebody that most americans would say that's not the way i want somebody who's serving in the oval office to talk about people who served this country in uniform. >> zolan, the former present, released a new video today, seeking to tie vice president harris to president joe biden's record in the white house do you think how much do you think president biden is actually going to be used by the harris campaign, moving forward we're about to see a good sort of sample size of that this week the president is scheduled to travel for some of the visits, not necessarily next to the vice president, but he's in the campaign trail.
9:13 pm
he's getting back there and, you know, there's, there's an interesting balance that we'll be watching here when it comes to policy and vice president harris's policy platform right? she does represent incumbency. she was part of this white house and we have not seen much evidence that she's going to break obviously, from the present. there but she served with however you are starting to see some differences in tone. and let's be honest in a campaign tone matters. an emphasis on trying to lower consumer prices, which has been a concern for voters consistently in the past couple of years an emphasis not so much just on talking about job growth in manufacturing, but to address the cost of living that americans are feeling, that stuff that i would hear from sort of even allies of the white house democratic groups that they wanted messaging to focus on that housing costs as well. so i'm i'm curious to see though how much of this has exclusively even a slight change in tone, but still the same policy platform, or will we actually see breaks thus far? i don't think we are seeing that because once again,
9:14 pm
for as much as some summer framing the vice president does a change candidate. and i understand that in some ways, this is also somebody that's been a part of the white house the past three years. so it'll be interesting to see that balance, david, you talked on this program about things you have said to the foreign president about policy. and they came to policy last week he retweeted he reposted vulgar post, truth, social post about vice president harris and hillary clinton talked about a sex act. it was incredibly demeaning for women who has massage anti-semitic and all sorts of things. this is how we addressed that host on a podcast today. let's listen i do a lot of reposting. >> the ones you get in trouble with, the repost because you find down deep there in some group that you're not supposed to be re-posting. you don't even know if there's groups are good, better, and different so i mean, he's literally said this before about it's just a
9:15 pm
repost, it's i didn't post it. >> it's a repost and yet he continues to do it even though acknowledges seed has no idea who these people are and he didn't address the credibly demeaning text of this you don't have to dig deep to see how offensive and massage anesthetic it is anderson. i'm going to i'm hopeful that he's going to start re posting. so of my tweets where i talk about the issues, right? about fracking. >> i don't think he's going to do that to me david do it unless i'm going to i'm going to ask him because i think let's i'm going to ask him to repost this olon. i like what zolan was saying, you know, kamala harris has tried to and run as a change candidate, but she can't run as a change candidate because he's trying to change from the administration that she's a part of. so i'm going to set them some zolan's tweets and asked him to retweet some of those, right? i think he's spot on. listen. whether joe biden is going to campaign with kamala harris is something we're enough to wait and see because i just heard james
9:16 pm
carville a little bit earlier today saying his advices saw joe biden off, cut them away, float free, be a part of this. you cannot, if you're tied to joe biden, she's going to sink like an anchor. he's going to be like an anchor around her because the biden/harris administration is incredibly unpopular and so her only shot is to change and to run as an independent candidate. so i'm going to hope donald shuffle we tweet my tweets zolan's not kate. all right. well, we'll see how it were checking tomorrow. we have to take a short break coming up next. could a single electoral vote in nebraska determine who wins the white house that's the stuff of political fiction, but it has actually the potential to become reality. jeff zeleny explains how pluses protesters in israel continued demand a ceasefire deal. we remember the six hostages whose bodies were recovered an underground tunnel in gaza this weekend, including american israeli hersh goldberg-polin from starting strong it's been a week so many ways to save life, ready?

9:21 pm
explains these blue dots are popping up on lawns across omaha, signs of a campaign. we're not only every vote counts but where every electoral vote is critical, be debated back-and-forth. >> and we went forward and said, well, i think the mystery is kinda cool. >> and it turned out to be a huge win earning conversation saclay we had no idea that conversation. >> then that's the important part because the soon as you start the conversation, you'd have a full conversation. ruth, him brown and her husband, jason, are suddenly having more conversations about the blue dot symbolizing a democratic island in a sea of nebraska red. and the state's unique way of dividing electoral votes with plausible that we could have a tie and a whole notion of oh, my vote doesn't matter. it's really tossed out the window because this could be this could be the deciding factor for all of the pathways for commonly harris and donald trump to reach the white house. the race for 270 electoral
9:22 pm
votes could come down to nebraska's sprawling second district. and here's why if harris carries the three blue wall battleground states and trump wins the swing states across the sun so a single electoral vote surrounding omaha could keep the race from becoming a 269 to 69 tie, decided by the house of representatives, well, hell alone, nebraska, a not so secret weapon for democrats could be tim walz, who was born and raised here before moving to states away to minnesota tony vargas believes the harris-walz ticket will also help democrats win control of congress. starting with his race here, which is among the country's most competitive. >> we have suburban, we have rural, we have urban, we have all different walks of life, all different races, ethnicities, socioeconomic but really this is a truly independent place, republican congressman don bacon has thrived and survived politically because of that independent streak of the district trump won here in 2016, but lost in 2020 bacon
9:23 pm
said, trump runs the risk of losing again if he doesn't focus on inflation and immigration, when you talk about dei, race make come up with nicknames that doesn't play well in this district. >> they weren't talking with the issues this is an issue district for months. >> trump and his allies have sought to change. nebraska is election law and award all electoral votes to the statewide winner rather than by congressional district. a process shared only by maine, get better, get me on the hod you understand that for now, republicans are working to defeat harris here in a district that extends through omaha's western suburbs to rural towns like wow, who were steven, sonya, pete's are ready for change. >> i would like just to see some hope. i don't see it now which of those candidates do you think gets the closest to bring any hope? >> i would say trump absolutely trump. >> i have a feeling that he has a person who sticks to his
9:24 pm
word. he means what he says they question what harris stands for and are not sold on walz no matter where he grew up back in the dundee neighborhood of omaha, the blue dots are in such high demand. >> jason brown ran out of spray paint orders are stacking up. he said, and not only from democrats, but from independent who may decide the election or doesn't mean, oh, my god, i become a democrat. >> know you're voting for what you feel is right for the future so in short the blue wall needs the blue dot right here in omaha. >> that's how the math works out. of course both sides, the harris campaign and the trump campaign have many paths to victory. but for all the talk about pennsylvania and michigan and wisconsin those are the most likely paths. but again, that is one vote short of the 270 needed. that's why so much money, time and attention is being spent right here in nebraska on that blue dot
9:25 pm
anderson, nine weeks from tonight on election night, if our eyes are on nebraska will know this race it is incredibly still tight. >> yeah, that would be incredible, zeleny thank you, john king has a closer look at this, john, how could the officer election play out in nebraska incredible is the right word, mythical is another word that gets used. >> just look, let's put up anderson. we have some technical issues here so i can't do this with my hands tonight. but if you look at the map right there, that's what jeff was just talking about. if kamala harris since the blue wall states, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin wins all the other states that we view as likely are solid democrat donald trump wins the sunbelt states in that scenario, you see georgia, you see arizona, and you see even nevada, right? then if nebraska is all you see that little widen the top corner there. that's that congressional district, nebraska two, if donald trump won that and the mapplayer that you're a 269, 269, it gets thrown to the house of representatives. we talk about this every four years. we've never had to deal with it, but in a close race like this, it's one of those possibilities. do you have to study for and it's why jeff zeleny gets a free stake in omaha. >> we talked about the reporting earlier about the trump campaign in new
9:26 pm
hampshire. how much does new hampshire matter? >> well, new hampshire matters less now back remember, after the debate, the trump campaign thought a lot more states. we're going to be in play of joe biden status, the candidate. and so they were looking at making a run at new hampshire. they were looking at make a run at virginia. they thought new mexico might be in play. democrats were saying even colorado might come back into play. it was the oh, my god moment for the democrats but the truth truth is, this volunteer got told you no longer welcome for speaking the truth because he told the truth. he's no longer welcome in the trump campaign because they're not spending any money on television there. yes, donald trump does have a hardcore group of supporters in new hampshire who worked very hard and they are very passionate. but new hampshire has trended away. hillary clinton won it narrowly. biden won it by more. here's, here's how you can tell. it's donald well, trump's spending any money in the boston tv markets to influence new hampshire? the answer is no. we'll see if he does. i doubt it. >> so the elections now, nine weeks away, what do you personally watching for? >> nine weeks away from tonight, we count votes, you ready? get your espresso machines ready, everybody. so let's look at some different
9:27 pm
dynamics. one is, where is harris today compared? care to biden? let's look at the gender gap. let's look among women voters. female voters look right there. harris with a 13 point advantage over trump right now, that's one poll the abc ipsos poll last week, look at 20:20. that's joe biden on the ballot. he had a slightly bigger advantage if you're in the harris campaign, you want to get to where that biden number was. if you look to where harris is right now, she's exactly the same as hillary clinton was. hillary clinton won the popular vote, but lost in the electoral college. so if you're kamala harris, you're looking at that number, you're saying you've made improvements, but you want to get to where biden was in 2020. so that is a source of she's a head, but she needs more there. and let's flip it now and look at male voters. this is where she's actually in a somewhat better shape. if you look at the numbers male voters, she's at 46% again, just one poll. so don't overinvest in this, but that's pretty close. a five-point split trump advantage among men. look at biden in 2020 and look at hillary clinton even worse in 2016. so on gender issues, harris is in good shape. she'd like to be in stronger shape with fema voters and john king.
9:28 pm
>> appreciate it, thanks very much coming up protest yes. and heartbreak after six october 7, hostages were found murdered in a tunnel in gaza over the weekend, including an american israeli hersh goldberg-polin, historic, plus a conversation with the parents, have another young american israeli still held hostage right now when we return it looks down at his queen and says, are wire, my name more, i'll be unto, let's work on that french. shall we have land than in heavy into wow we move into why gonna i'll be until now surge a.i. assistant in the hotels.com app. >> you know what's crazy this is better than cooking at home i mean, more affordable then groceries, of course groceries

9:33 pm
he was. but for days later, by coincidence, i interviewed jon polin and rachel goldberg for the first time on cnn. >> when i turned on my phone, which i don't normally use on the jewish sabbath that's when i saw two texts pop up at 8:10 the 11 in the morning, the first one said, i love you. and the second one said, i'm sorry and immediately i knew something horrible. must have been happening or was about to happen i didn't know they were the parents of the young man. i'd seen in that video until john said this during our interview. >> and we know from three eyewitness accounts of survivors that basically there were at least 11 grenades thrown into the bomb shelter our son, by all accounts of the witnesses, had his left arm blown off at some point during the attack? >> that's when i realized i'd seen their son and they had no
9:34 pm
idea the video of him being taken hostage existed i waited until the interview was over and called them and then sent them the video. i had i met, with them a week later first of all, it's a crazy sequence of events that we talked to you through a computer screen and then get a phone call from you saying i have a video of your son. i didn't want to say on live television, which so appreciated course, the way everything has unfolded the gentleness that you used, because at the end of the day you're a journalist journalists want a story and that could have been dealt with in many other ways that were not kind and gentle. >> seeing that video in general gave us a dose of optimism. >> how are you able to get through each day? >> i personally feel like we have to keep running to the end of the earth to save him and we have to try to go believing
9:35 pm
that somehow he got treatment and he's there they showed me how she's room which rachel would visit to feel close to him, we have a porch that's facing south and i went out friday night like screaming to him because friday night, we bless our children traditionally and jewish homes, you plus your children on friday night. so i was screaming the it's a traditional blessing the bible what does the blessing say? >> it says, may god bless you and keep you. may god, may god's face shine upon you and be gracious. just to make god's countenance countenance be lifted. lifted up toward you and give you peace. >> in the weeks after rachel and jon worked tirelessly to raise awareness about hersh and the other hostages, richmond what you're wearing? a tag that says 26 during tell people

>> he feels goldberg then suddenly a few weeks later, hamas released this hostage video of hersh was the first proof his parents had. he was alive we were sobbing, tears and emotional overwhelmed. >> feelings were just abounding we weren't even listening to what he was saying, just hearing his voice and seeing him moving. and that he was alive. >> then in late june, another video is released by hostages and missing families forum. this one taken on october 7, moments after the first video, i sent them and you had so much concern about you know whether hersh had made it out just from his injury alone. you see a tourniquet being put on at later on in the video that i mean, do you think that
9:38 pm
probably saved his life well, i'm happy that for whatever reasons that he was obviously treated because as we all know, on day 201, we had a video released that shows her with a stump where that jagged bone had been but we know from day to one thank god that he is alive 129 days later that hope became heartbreak. >> on day 330, hersh goldberg-polin's body was found with five other hostages alexander lobanov, carmel got almog sarusi, a den yerushalmi, and ori danino israel says they were executed in a tunnel in gaza shot to death at close range. according to the israeli prime minister's office, there are believed to be about 101 hostages still remaining in
9:39 pm
gaza. 35 are believed to be dead. short time ago, i spoke with orna and ronen new neutra's, whose son omer is another israeli americans still being held captive ronan. thank you for talking with me today. i know you consider on polin and rachel goldberg-polin family, how are you dealing with what's happened? >> we're completely devastated. anderson. this shouldn't have happened hersh was supposed to come out in a first phase of a deal. that's been on the table for a long time now, and it's just completely outrageous and devastating that this is what happened. >> her should we managed to survive if 11 most terrible months with a monsters of hamas in gaza. >> and yet was murdered and executed couple of days ago. >> in the most brutal way, it just heartbreaking.
9:40 pm
>> rachel yesterday at the funeral said that that she hopes that hirsch's death will be at what she called a turning point in this horrible situation john said maybe just maybe your death, meaning hersh's death is the stone, the fuel that will bring home the remaining 101 hostages. do you think that's possible? do you feel like something may be different now for omer and the others? >> you know, it's it's not a clear path we're seeing still many challenges the region we're seeing a prime minister that is not willing to make the compromises needed to reach a deal to bring our son and the other hostages back we sure say the israeli public pouring in big numbers into the streets and telling the israeli government that this event of the six hostages that were murdered few days back, it just
9:41 pm
unacceptable that this will continue. >> and we just hoping that this outpour outrage that we see in israel is going to affect the government. and bibi netanyahu himself, to reach that. so desire, deal, and get the hostages back as we know, this is urgent and among them are 22-year-old son who by the way, he turns 23 on october 14th, and this will be his second birthday, being held hostage very true. true think about that. no, we can think that far and we really hope that a deal that the u.s. government is working so hard with our partners in the region we'll be caught between his israel and hamas and the two leaders hamas leader and israeli government must reach that deal or else we won't see our deal ones coming
9:42 pm
back. >> do you have faith on unthinkable in the prime minister netanyahu, he asked for forgiveness that the six murdered hostages weren't brought back alive. he also said hamas will pay a heavy price for this do you think he has the hostages front and center in his priorities we don't unfortunately, not we met him in the white house with president biden we looked him in the eyes and unfortunately are feeling is that he has his own political future ahead of him rather than the safety of our sun. it's not just our son. i don't believe that he has the interest of the israeli people as his top priority anyone, you know, that's looking at this can see that israelis need the hostages to come home for them to be able to recover from this, to move forward. but the first step would be to bring the hostages back. to make the family is
9:43 pm
whole, to bring back some sense of security, right? this was a breach between the israeli government and its people as you know, in a statement on monday, hamas has said that it's terrorists have been given new instructions, as they said, on how to deal with hostages because if the idf approaches and they released an illustrated poster of a terrorist with a gun standing behind a hostage how do you remain? >> i mean, how do you hold onto hope? how do you get through each day anderson, we really have no choice. >> you know, the thought of her son sitting there like these young people that were just murdered, waiting to be saved is what's driving us and we wake up every morning and we stay laser-focused. we have no choice. we have to bring them back. we have to bring him back or not. and ronen. thank you so much for your time.

heart-healthy, rush to walmart and find total bsw rahel solomon in new york is cnn i love learning that something in american history that's long largely forgotten. >> and my colleague dana bash has written a new book about a governor's race in louisiana in the decades after the civil war, which she calls america's deadly selection. i never heard of it, and it's an incredible story that draws parallels the political climate today. dana bash joins me now, i'm the book
9:57 pm
is fascinating. i had no idea that this had occurred and it's so incredible to me how much of american history just kind of disappears. i mean, we think, oh while things have never been this contentious. things have never in our politics is so potentially violent now, i've been american history is, this is a prime example of how political violence has a long history here, political violence is unfortunately part of the fabric of our country. >> we start by talking about 18, 72. you are focusing on two elections the deadliest elections in american history, 18, 72 gubernatorial elections in louisiana, louisiana, during reconstruction in the segregationists that democrats in the south saw what happened in 18, 70 and said, wait a minute, like our way of life is gone post civil war, but it will really be gone if we allow
9:58 pm
blacks to vote the way that they did in this past election, that's when they began to intimidate and to murder. >> frankly, people who tried to come to the ballot box and there was so much corruption in that election. anderson then that nobody would concede in the next election, there were actually ended up being two separate governors in louisiana at the same time, both of whom claimed they were the legitimate governs louisiana. >> there was a massacre of these black man called the colfax massacre. it was so bloody 150 the black men anderson, were slaughtered. and it was because all they wanted to do was vote the people who did the murdering white man, of course, they it was pretty much understood that they could not get prosecuted in a state court. so the federal government stepped in and what happened as a result of that, they tried them on civil rights charges and the supreme court
9:59 pm
ruled in that famous ruling called crook schanck, that the federal government doesn't have a role there. it's the state government that ruling which came from this election in 18, 72, ushered in the jim crow laws in the south for 100 years. >> the the grant parish prisoners you write quickly became heroes. they were hailed as good, decent southern boys, sons of the confederacy, usually people who had taken, who had committed this massacre you said every we movement needs symbols around which people can rally. i mean, again, just the parallels of a group of people who have broken the laws being hailed as heroes and good decent people and sort of you know, things are so polarized, then obviously there's so much polarization now, so much polarization. and there are a lot of parallels not just that, but if you fast forward to the 18 76 election, which we also talk about here, the presidential election. because this corruption that i just described four years
10:00 pm
earlier and louisiana was also taking place in other states when the congress got the electoral slates of electors for states, they couldn't actually admit them. and there was a debate then about what the vice president's role should be or could be in determining which slates of electors he could accept. and it was determined then, just like mike pence determined, that he was just ceremonial, if the minutes before and president loses, again, do you. think he goes quietly? >> no deal no no. >> i mean, i can't imagine there won't be endless court battles at the very least. >> and we're just fine. i mean, the court battles are like that's the way it's supposed to work. you're allowed to them. we saw and we covered day in and day out. all of the challenges that they made in courts of law. the question is what happens afterwards when or if the courts
