this morning my heart hurts for our community but i want to make it very clear that hate will not prevail another they're american community shattered, fire, school shooting. >> what we're learning about the 14-year-old suspect who killed two classmates and two teachers in georgia, plus this billionaires and big corporations must pay their fair share in taxes kamala harris laying out her visision for what many voters say is their top issues. the economy just fall i days before she needs donald trump on the debate stage and kamala harris picks up another high profile republican ally, liz cheney. the latest to declare she's voting for the democrat in the november election all right. >> 5:00 a.m. here in

washington. a live look at new york city on this thursday morning. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. >> we begin in georgia where another community is in mourning after a school shooting in an all too familiar sight, students at apalachee high school in winder, georgia were sent fleeing from their classrooms wednesday second period had just started when the gunshots rang out the suspect, one of their very own classmates who surrendered when confronted by police. but it wasn't before four people were killed. two students, mason shemer horn and christian anglo, both just 14-years-old and two teachers, richard asked him wall and christina year me, one students spoke out about how the shooter almost entered her classroom the moment that it happened he was at the door and i knew they were looking for him already, but he was at the door and they almost let him in until they backed up.

>> and then he turned away and that's when you hear the first rounds of fire police say the suspect is 14-year-old colt gray, who will be charged as an adult for the murders he was questioned just last year by law enforcement in connection with online threats about a possible school shooting. >> no charges were filed at the time as this investigation unfolds, local officials say teachers and staff at the school prevented an even larger tragedy but he rose that we need to remember is our faculty and staff here this school. they acted admirably. they were heroes in the actions that they took the protocols at this school we had here today. >> so i want to recognize them all right. >> joining us now to talk more about this as dan. oh, it's he's the former police chief in aurora, colorado dana, good morning to you. thank you very much for being with us. this

morning. let's start with what we are starting to learn about this suspect specifically, that we know that he was questioned last year over an online threat. no charges were filed. there. >> but when you learn about that what goes through your mind? >> in terms of how law enforcement handled it then and what it should have meant ahead of this awful tragedy you know kasie, in my experience, it's not uncommon to have i was achieved in a couple of largest cities. >> it's not uncommon to have a complaint like that come your way. >> once or twice a week we live in an era where everything is amplified by social media. >> and any kind of threat, any kind of unusual or aberrant email or text exchange between students becomes an investigation for police to track down who are who originated it. because it's amplified among parents and students at cetera. so i don't

i'm not surprised that there was contact with this particular student a year earlier there's a lot of times that that happens in policing and one of the challenges is to run down that threat immediately. and i can they give any number of instances with my detectives were in a kitchen with parents and 14-year-old at two in the morning because we finally figured out the origin of some kind of activity like that and thankfully, almost all the time there is, there is an explanation that is about the recklessness of teenagers that has nothing to do with actual violence so yes, he had had contact with the police a year earlier, apparently and we'll learn more about that, but that is not uncommon today. >> with police departments and sheriff's departments to run down threats like that. are really difficult. reality, dan the age of this shooter

14-years-old. i mean, so young would have been a year ago that they were running this down. so perhaps he was around 13 at that time. what does it say to you that someone at that the age? are we seeing these school shooters of people who do these things get younger? and why do you think that is well, we have a very open society where people have, you know, gangsters of that age have access through the, through the internet to sort of unlimited amounts of information about every element of our society, including weapons and guns. >> and they are exposed to in our arts and culture, a lot of violence, et cetera. and the aura and culture around guns and it's just something we all have to deal with so what's next here in terms of the investigation, i especially as it relates to i mean, one of the things that's really come up recently is the role that parents play i or don't play when something like this happens, obviously, ethan

crumbley's parents were held accountable. >> what questions are law enforcement asking and what's next? >> sure. there are so many layers to this one of the first is he's apparently based on what i've read and heard going to be charged as an adult under georgia law. i don't know the nuances of that but assuming he is treated like an adult the likely defense that will be offered as some skill be some sort of insanity defense. i am sure the evidence that physical and circumstantial evidence against him will be overwhelming. so for law enforcement to overcome that defense, they're going to have to prove in front of a jury that he understood the consequences of his actions, that he knew right from wrong in the aurora theater shooting that was essentially the only defense that was available to the defendant. and that's exactly what the litigation became in front of a jury. in order to prove that the investigators are going to have to delve into everything about

this young person's life his social media profile, everything he said or did with anyone. in the last year, two to work towards proving that and i'm sure the investigation is being as thorough as it can into all of those things then there are the issues of access to the weapon. we had the example several years ago in michigan where two parents were held accountable under michigan law for the reckless disregard that led to their 15-year-old getting access to an ar style weapon. so there are those kinds of issues around culpability for the origins of the weapon, then of course, there's the issue of actual conspirator liability, whether or not anyone else actually aid he did and abetted him and committing this act. so there are layers upon layers here in the investigation. there's an awful lot to get done and we are way, way too early to have a lot of insight right now all

right. >> dana, it's for us this morning, dan, i'm very grateful for your time. thanks very much for joining us thank you. >> coming up of course, coming up next here on cnn this morning. >> it's the state that will likely decide the presidential race. donald trump holding a town i'm all in pennsylvania. the case he's making to voters there, plus liz cheney, voting, democrat, becoming the latest republicans declare she's switching sides. and democratic congressman jake auchincloss of massachusetts, joins us to discuss israel's next move after the execution of those six hostages i'm telling you that if we relieve pressure, if we'd get out of the philadelphi corridor, we're not going to get the hostages back this election season cnn has you covered, no matter the question from more about the candidates to rules in your state to casting your ballot. the cnn voter handbook has your answers. visit cnn.com slash vote for your do not buy

sunday, september 22, did nine on scene cnn election coming up and actually, you know, they keep saying 60, but it starts delaware and north carolina and other places a lot sooner than that, so forth. >> i think we're going to be very well set up to do a great job. and do we love pennsylvania speaking of soon, be first ballots, go out tomorrow in north carolina. that is one of the sunbelt states that is in the swing state category, gearing up for the final sprint to election they trump was in battleground, pennsylvania for a town townhall with fox news is sean hannity this is a woman who is dangerous. i don't think too smart let's say but she loses her train of thought a lot she goes, that's why she wanted to do interviews. can you imagine

her doing an interview like this and of course trump and harris face off on the debate stage this coming tuesday, joining me now, national political reporter for the hill, julia manchester and political reporter for the 19th. >> grace panetta. welcome to both of you julia of course we heard trump there continuing his sort of personal attacks against kamala harris. >> this comes as we're learning, both sides have agreed to the debate rules which will include muted microphones, which the harris team has been scrambling to try to change there at the 11th hour the fact that he's in pennsylvania also relevant. where do things stand here just five days before this debate? look, five days before this debate, we know that this race particularly in pennsylvania, a must battleground state, is very, very close. our hill decision desk hq average shows harris and trump 0.1% apart in that state. so it's really must-win for either of the these candidates. it's interesting to hear trump in

last night's townhall attacking harris on fracking and some of her moves on a number of policy issues. so it'll be interesting to see if trump attacks are on that yesterday. we also saw harris and new hampshire releasing more details from her own economic plan, which is also crucial ahead of this debate, we know that trump has positioned himself as slipped pro-business candidate. so she is very much trying to prepare for i think a number of attacks she's going to face next week now the big question will be, does trump in next week's debate, focus on policy and harris on that? or does he delve into these personal attacks like we just saw? >> right? well, so speaking of fracking, grace trump actually did address that in his town hall yesterday. this was how he framed that, probably a preview of what we're going to see next tuesday. watch she wants no fracking in pennsylvania. she wants she said it 100 times that you biggest business and you get a big majority of your

income from fracking. and you have somebody that's not going to allow fracking. she's not going to allow. you can tell think the chance you have no choice, you've got a vote from, you've got to home so of course, a grace harris's team has said that this position that she wants held has evolved but how does this issue in particular play in pennsylvania? >> he also said in this town hall that the country will end up in a depression like 1929 if she becomes president, again, no evidence there yeah, i think what we're going to see in this debate is a really clear sort of articulation from the harris side of what her economic policies are going to be i think this coal kind of fracking question illuminates both the challenges and opportunities for harris going into the debate. i think the big opportunity she has here on the economy latest polls including the cnn battleground poll released on tuesday, shows that just kind of close the

gap, the big gap that biden had with trump and how voters would trust more on the economy. and that's why we see her moving to release more for economic plans. of course, the vulnerability is her past positions she took in the 2020 primary when running for president, which trump and his allies are going to i look to hit her on, even though the show, those involved. >> so julia, i mean, i guess the question is, what are we going to know specific wise specifically about harris's economic plans? this has been a line of attack from the trump team, right? that she hasn't been specific enough. we have her out there breaking with biden on a tax related issue, the capital gains tax. but it's clear that one of the things trump is going to be trying to do in this debate is lumper in with, with joe biden. and pressure her on on where they may differ. are we going to see more of that from her? i think we're potentially going to see more of that, but i think there's going to be push from republicans trump for her to release even more specifics. i mean, yesterday, yes, she did

talk about that capital gains tax, but she also talks to talk about targeting small businesses and trying to invest in those in small businesses. in particular. but the issue was she didn't talk about which sectors, which small businesses in particular i heard some republicans chattering about that. so i think you're going to continue to hear she's not being specific enough. and once again, from the trump campaign's perspective, this is all about contrast. they are trying to put him forth as upfront as the pro-business candidate, the former business leader talking about that prior to the covid-19 pandemic, we didn't have high inflation. we know that harris has also talked about price gouging, lowering prices, making this all about the cost of living. so that's i think what we could expect to see from her going into next week. all right. >> julia manchester, grace panetta. thank you both very much for being here this morning. i really appreciate it all right. just five days. come on. harris and donald trump will meet in philadelphia for that debate that everyone's been waiting before. do follow cnn for complete coverage,

flash flooding or at least excessive rain that could lead to flash flooding with a slight risk extending towards the galveston and houston region. the potential here for six inches or more localized amounts according to some of the national weather service discussions of ten inches are possible. so we're going to watch out for that flood threat across the deep south. the other big story, the heat continues across the west 55 million americans under heat alerts from l.a. northward into portland, check out the temperatures departure from normal should be 77 in l.a. it'll top 98 today, perhaps 100 degrees by tomorrow, portland euro scorcher 102 this afternoon, if you reach that temperature, it will only be the third time in recorded history where a temperature of 100 degrees or higher higher in the month of september has been recorded. it's really saying something. okay. yeah, it really is. all right. derek van dam for us, derek, thank you very much for that. >> okay. >> still ahead here on cnn this morning, kamala harris rolling out another portion of her economic agenda, we're going to take a closer look. her pitch to voters. prefer what she calls an opportunity economy. plus, we continue to follow the

east coast. a live look at chicago, illinois on this thursday morning. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us democratic strategist james carville of course, famously said, it's the economy stupid. and that of course, is the thing that both kamala harris and donald trump have been focused on. the polling tells the story because the economy is the top issue for at least a third of all likely voters and six critical swing states and that's why the former president is planning a big economic speech today at the economic club of new york, one day after vice president harris tried to sharpen her economic message at a rally in new hampshire my vision of an opportunity economy is one where everyone can compete and have a real chance to succeed, where everyone regardless who they are, where they start, can build wealth, including

intergenerational wealth. >> where workers are treated with dignity and everyone has the freedom to join it the union, if they can all right, here to talk more about this, sabrina rodriguez, national political reporter for the washington post and kevin frey, washington reporter for spectrum news, new york. >> one welcome to both of you. wonderful to see you as sabrina. let me start with you because part of what we saw from harris here was an attempt at least two break with president biden on some of her economic policies. it's still not clear how there would be major shifts from the way biden has been doing it. but it seemed clear that they wanted to send a message that they were willing to at least in some small ways ahead of the debate, no absolutely. >> i mean, we've seen she has this delicate balancing act, not just on the economy, but overall on policy issues where she is showing that she supports president biden and that she backs this administration, that she has been a part of. but the big question for a lot of voters is

okay. but if i'm not happy with how things are right now, if i'm not happy with where the economy is right now, how are you? you going to change my life? how are you going to make that different? we know again, the polling always shows the economy stupid. >> you know, that's what people care about. i think really a lot this election is going to hinge on who people believe is going to help them in terms of the economy, who is going to help their bottom line. and harris really needs to show, okay. you might feel the inflation today. you might feel the increase in prices today. this is what i'm going to do to change that i mean, that's what a lot of people are asking, just talking to voters out and in some of these key battleground states, they might like her or they might say they don't necessarily love the donald trump's rhetoric and the way he speaks. but for them it's a question of, okay. but my family leon, my finances. how is that going to work out? >> yeah. and kevin one of the things we learned from our battleground state poll out yesterday is that this issue for republicans in particular is very high on the list. it is the number one issue. it's not the number one issue for democrats in those swing state polls. but here was what donald

trump had to say do this townhall with sean hannity in pennsylvania yesterday basically trying to scare voters honestly about what a harris presidency would look like for the economy. talking about a depression, take a look this country will end up in a depression if she becomes president, like 1929, this will be a 1929 depression. >> she has no idea what the hell she's doing so i will just say kevin goldman sachs seems to agree with that assessment. >> they were out yesterday with this one morning u.s economic growth would likely get the biggest boost in the coming two years from the democrats headed by kamala harris winning the white house in congress in this november elections under a republican sweep, or even with divided government led by donald trump, economic output would take a hit and they say this would be mostly from increased tariffs on imports and tighter immigration policies. this is their, the goldman sachs economic analysts. so clearly trump wants to look at it one way. there are some signs, perhaps

the other. another way may actually be the case. >> yeah. i mean, i noticed socialist organization, goldman sachs, if you will i will say, look, i mean, she's kind of trying to do it seems kamala harris is trying to one, make the case to those middle-class voters who, as you were just noting, feel a bit uneasy where the same time she's also trying to hit back on this comrade kamala riff that trump has tried to parlay her way through. for example, a lower capital gains lyft proposal that she's kind of parting with biden on at least it's very small proposal, but arguably some separation there that people should pay lower taxes on capital gains, less progressive for biden is exactly while at the same time also trying to make those in treaties to lower lower-income folks and middle income folks with the proposal to help people buy houses and also produce more housing stock, and also help small businesses. so she's kind of trying to play both sides here. >> yeah, i'm very interesting. all right. let's, let's switch to this topic. >> liz cheney, you all know her

going further than just opposing donald trump on wednesday night cheney endorsed kamala harris for president. >> she said she's voting for her during this talk that she gave a duke university cheney, of course, a former house republican leader, the daughter a former vice president, dick cheney about, and she co-chaired the january 6 house select committee investigating the capitol attack. this move ultimately ended her career in congress. and now she's warning fellow republicans that writing in a protest vote this november, it's not enough to stop trump watch don't believe that we have the luxury of writing in candidates names, particularly in swing states and as a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the constitution i have thought deeply about this. and because of the danger that donald trump poses not only am i not voting for donald trump, but i will be voting for kamala

harris in sabrina this is something that republicans have used to kind of thread this needle, right? >> those who are opposed to donald trump, and there's a significant contingent in what was the, you know, the republican party of old i suppose, of mitt romney and paul ryan, for example. i they have, there have been a lot of people who said, well, i can't vote for the democrat. i disagree with democrat's policies when a write in someone else's name, i'm going to do something else other than vote for donald trump. i just thought it was interesting that cheney is now arguing that's not good enough. we can't go that route. what do you make of it and what kind of impact? do you think it has? >> i mean, i think this does create a permission structure for some of the more moderate republicans that the george bush's of the world, the mitt romneys for folks that went out and voted for them to say, okay, maybe i do need to give this a better look. i mean, is this a question of does an endorsement suddenly mean that oh thousands? thousands of people are now going to change their minds not necessarily

especially with how we've seen donald trump take hold of the republican party, but it does create this permission structure does create this conversation. we also saw john mccain's son, this week announced, not just that, that he was switching from independent, but not just he was voting for kamala harris, but that he was switching from independent to democrats and voting for kamala harris. and we saw this effort according republicans and recording those people who are anti-trump at the dnc so i think this is just all part of a bigger strategy to create that structure, to say, you can vote, you can vote for republicans down-ballot, but with the stakes so high in this election, really give a look to kamala harris at the top of the ticket. >> i mean, it's not a surprise, kevin, that she's doing this but she also has been just hang back further in this process. then i think some people perhaps expected her to. why she's doing this now, right. >> i mean, look, she wasn't at the convention like we saw some other notable names including adam kinzinger speaking for example well is this the way that she wanted to announce

this? i'm a little confounded. those kind of this, like closed door event at duke university and then it kind of leaked out in some tweets and then all of a sudden it went made, started making headlines. >> but i think it's kind of like the slow trickle effect that over time, if you continue to release names, it provides she was saying a permission structure and a bit of confidence for people that okay maybe i feel comfortable doing this. >> i mean, i spoke to one of the republicans for harris a couple of weeks ago and she basically said that, look at the end of the day, harris is smart. she's strong and she used the word not crazy. and this is a woman from a republican family on staten island. so this is not some moderate democratic leaning republican well, that's the argument that harris is team is really also trying to push like, hey, it's, it's weird and crazy we're there? >> yep. it's not weird, not crazy. more normal over here. let's see what prevails sabrina rodriguez, kevin frank. thank you, guys. really appreciate having you. >> all right. straight ahead here on cnn this morning, pro palestinian protesters returning to us college

pro-palestinian demonstrators also coming back while at the moment the protests seem unlikely to reach the same scale as intensity and intensity as those that we saw in the spring. there is fresh anger over university's new safety policies and the biden-harris admitted mr. approach to israel joining us now, a democrat from massachusetts congressman jake auchincloss, congressman, always wonderful to have you on the program. you obviously saw those protests re-escalating or at least coming back as students return to campus the students in that video were chanting from the river to the sea and that phrase has also been in the news because meadows board recently said that that phrase does not constitute hate speech. i'm wondering your reaction to the students, but also that decision from meta. how do you

view that phrase and should it be considered hate speech? >> thanks for. having me on kasie. good morning i personally find that phrase reprehensible because it calls for the extinction of israel. and that's why i think that most of those protesters who are chanting, they really shouldn't be described as pro palestinian protesters. i mean, kasie, i'm pro pro-palestinian . i want to see the palestinian people have security, dignity, and prosperity that is anti israel protests. however, i always bend towards free speech and protest and speech are sacrosanct in this country she is one of the reasons i voted against a misguided policy in congress than i thought might chill speech even though i agreed with its intentions, which was to help colleges upheld a suitable learning environment. and on campus. but if i was a university president right now, kasie, what i would be doing is really three things. one, i would be very closely attentive to my title six obligations. that means protecting students on campus from targeted harassment. if

you are walking to class and people who are not showing their face or banging drums and shouting epithets that actually day after day that is targeted harassment. that's not acceptable. university presidents do need to prevent that number two, i be trying to model better behavior. i'd be bringing faculty together to have tough conversations, critical debate about complicated issues, and show students with civic engagement is meant to be. and then finally, i think these college presidents also should regain the conversation at the national level and lead a conversation about how do we do a better job of civic education and making sure that our young people in this country trea really know how to engage with one another across lines of sharp ideological disagreement congressman, we also of course saw the incredibly tragic execution, frankly, of these six hostages, including an american by hamas, right? >> as they were right before they were potentially to be rescued by israeli forces. there's now considerable pressure from hostage families

at to get a deal to get their loved ones out, including some who are saying according to reporting in nbc news, at that say that the biden ministration should try had to cut a deal without israel. and i know some families have also raised concerns that the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu, is moving the goalposts in these negotiations. >> how do you look at this and what do you say to these families who are raising questions about how the israeli government is operating in this space i've met with these families on numerous occasions, including the parents of hersh goldberg, polin, and rachel, and jon and they are living every parent's worst nightmare. it's really it's inconceivable. and occurred that they are demonstrating in the midst of these last 11 months should be an example for the rest of america in how we are resolved to return these hostages these hostages families have expressed to me a diversity of opinions about the

right path forward and their voice is critically important. i think that the prime pressure needs to be applied on hamas to get this deal done remember, hamas had these six young hostages record videos to their family members and then shot the execution style this is not an organization that can be negotiated with absent supreme military leverage. and i worried that if we get into a dynamic where every time hamas executes a hostage, israel has pressured to provide a concession. we are creating a downward spiral on an incentive structure whereby hamas executes more hostages for more concessions sir, i also want to ask you, i know you wrote an opinion piece recently focused on aid to ukraine for the wall street journal. >> this morning there is news yesterday, we learned that the department of justice believes there's been a russian influence operation going on to try to fund some right-wing, right-wing media consortium and that part of that that effort

is related to changing public opinion here in the u.s around the issue of ukraine. what was your reaction to that news and what impact do you think it's having on the election? >> the russian intelligence services clearly think that donald trump would be more sympathetic to their aims in ukraine, then president harris would be case. i don't know why they need their intelligence services. they could just it's literally listened to donald trump. he's been very clear about that. he would be happily acquiescent to vladimir putin's brutal and unprovoked war against ukraine. the critical thing is for one, the united states electoral system to be immunized against any foreign interference, whether it's russian or iranian whether it's for a democrat or republican, it's all unacceptable and we need to make sure that american voters decide american elections. but to, we've got to help ukraine win. and ukraine can't win if they are being handcuffed and they're using some american made weapons, f-16s, atacms have got to be unleashed against russian targets inside

russian territory in particular, their oil refining capacity because they are funding this war by exporting oil very briefly, sir, we heard from vladimir putin actually earlier this morning who says that he's supporting kamala harris, was something that he said in russian, we translated. >> do you believe that? >> no, i think it's classic sort of doublespeak and disinformation. it's very clear that the russians have always thought that donald trump would be more amenable to their ends because donald trump is putin fan boy, he always has been and he said that, i mean, in 2018 and helsinki, he sat stood next to putin and said, i trust this guy more than i trust my, my own intelligence agencies of of course, the russians want a guy like that. he's going to be a stooge for them all right. >> congressman jake auchincloss for us this morning. always grateful to have you on the program, sir, hope to see you soon all right. >> time now for sports, we're just hours away from the start of the new nfl season. >> with the chiefs hosting the ravens in prime time tonight.

triple double of her career, 24 points, ten rebounds and ten. it says fever when they're fitting in a row, 93 to 86 and casey i mean, it is just been amazing to see caitlin clark just figure it all out in a rookie season and she's playing just as good as anybody right now. and the fever, they are going to make the playoffs are there at the bottom of those standing? he's making the playoffs, but they are going to be a dangerous team. it's up fun to watch. >> yeah, it is going to be one to watch. its it's been great to see her kind of evolve over the course of the season and really, really pulling it all together here. thanks, andy. i really appreciate it. see tomorrow. i head here on cnn this morning tragedy strikes the georgia school and just the first month of class, we're gonna have the latest on the investigation into four deaths. what we know about the 14-year-old suspect who is in custody? plus candidates kicking it into high gear with just five days to go until the next presidential debates you can't take the chance. >> you have no choice. you've got to vote for him even gotten
