monumental has happened to him that would make anyone change or prompt anyone to look inward will use and he felt that he was different. seems to occur for a long time. was it i mean, you know, he's highly distractible. he is who he is, he's always been the same. he wasn't changed by the office of the presidency and it's very interesting to sit across from him at this moment. and he's much he's thinking more beforehand through is the question i've been interviewing him for ten years. he finally asked me where i'm from like he is just more interested in sort of being a part of the human race but will that yield different results? i think the answer is no, we were both at the press conference on friday where donald trump stood up and talk which four, it felt like three hours. i don't know how long it was about all of the allegations against him, about sexual misconduct. and he sounded just like any old donald trump that we've known over the last decade. nuzzi, 'a great interview. everyone should read the piece. thank you for joining us. think about it. >> thank you so much for joining us. the news continues

right here on cnn outfront. >> next new details about the harris and trump debate strategies as harris lands moments ago in philadelphia for this major night, the trump campaign tonight, teasing quote surprises. what is in store for america plus was j.d. vance duped tweeting a story about haitian migrants heating yes, people's personal pets in the state of ohio. so cnn did the reporting we're gonna tell you what the evidence shows actually happened. and it kfile investment revealing harris wrote in a 2019 questionnaire about taking funding away from ice and ending migrant detention it is not, of course, paris is saying today and there's a lot more where that came from. let's go outfront and good evening. tonight. the face off, vice st g in philadelphia just about 24 hours before the first and so far only debate between harris and former president trump these are live pictures. this is the national constitution

center where the event will take place. and it is just think about the context here entire race has been thrown up into disarray. and now here we are finally a new candidate on the democratic side seven days from the first early votes, 57 days from election day and this is it, this is the only debate they've agreed to. we have all seen that an election can be lost in an hour. maybe not one, but lost. could it happen again, harris tonight in an interview, hammering home her talking points? >> he plays for this really old and tired playbook, right? where he there's no floor for him in terms of how long he will go. >> i think he's an online and, you know, he has a playbook that he's used in the past be it, you know his attacks on president obama or hillary clinton so we should expect some of that might come out so that was her interview today, trump so far today has not

given any interviews. he has left the speaking to his surrogates who have pounded one very loud out unclear talking point on their side she owns every failure of the harris-biden administration. the harris administration at harris biden administration? >> all right. so they all got the memo. now, here's something worth pointing out. despite harris being vice president for nearly four years, running for president before that. and the fact that she and trump on a daily battle against each other. they have never actually met so tomorrow night when they walk on that debate stage, that will be the very first time they've ever then in a room together. and matt, i mean, that's pretty incredible to think about it. and considering again that erase can be lost in an hour, look at the stakes tonight, cnn poll, a of polls shows a statistical dead heat. harris with 49% trump with 48. so let's begin our coverage with phil mattingly live in pennsylvania, which obviously the home of this debate, any must win in state where the debate will take place. so phil, what are you learning from your sources? there you

know where to my conversations with republicans and democrats across the state over the course of the last day or two, there is plenty of disagreement about strategy approach message when it comes to the debate that'll take place about 400 miles from where where i'm standing right now. >> there is one area of agreement and that is the enormous importance of tomorrow night when you talk to republicans or democrats, they acknowledged the stakes are huge when republican official telling me this is a clear cut inflection point for this race. they know it is a sprint, they know this is the first and perhaps only face-to-face opportunity between these two candidates. and they're also looking at the numbers yes, the top lines, both on the national polling and in the battleground, states very much within the margin of error. but when you look deeper into those polls, there is a reality and that is it likely voters want to know more about vice president harris are interested in vice president harris in many cases. and that means tomorrow night is a huge opportunity and carries a lot of risks for vice president harris are in the commonwealth of pennsylvania. it was obviously a razor thin margin

in 2016, once again, in 2020, when you talk to campaign officials on both sides, they point to this state as absolutely critical to their path to 270 electoral votes. it is within the margin of error in the polling right now. but if you look at going forward, what matters, there is 140 million booked an ad reservations just in this state from now until election day but nothing nothing is bigger than this face-to-face matchup. tens of millions of viewers and opportunity to get a message across here in erie, pennsylvania. joe biden won this county by about 1,500 votes every vote is on, is on kind of the battleground at this point as one democrat put it to me, erin, it's a dog fight right now. now and tomorrow night will be huge and their efforts is incredible to think about the margins that we're talking about, phil. thank you. so everyone here with me now. so fan you you heard the harris biden administration talking point and they've got that one down easy to remember, boom, boom, boom, and very consistent but it is the biden-harris

administration. i mean, that is the reality. so understand they're flipping the names. i get the point here. but how does she counter this effectively when if we're all honest with ourselves, it is the biden-harris administration. she is the vice president this whole sort of don't don't connect her to his policies well, first of all, she's got a lot to be proud of and she's going to make her case, but got to think about this as a job interview. she's got the class clown sitting next to her doing raspberry throwing spitballs. but at the end of the day, the audience is not donald trump. and the audience is not the two interviewers for maybe see the audience for the american people who are kamala curious of their open, but they don't know enough yet to for her to close a deal. so he will try to throw everything he can about the past. she's got to focus on the future. she wants to bring the american people. she's going to have to counter. but as a job interview and the american you can people matter a lot more on donald trump's so listen prior debates as when she was running for president, then when she did vice presidential debates, she made a conscious point to call out the men she was debating, right? >> and it was it was men in these cases. so here's a few

examples from her last one, one-on-one debate versus republican rival here when that was exposed, the vice president said, when asked, well, why didn't you all tell anybody he said because the president wanted people to remain calm? well let's go up, but isn't this isn't right. >> and i want to add, mr. vice president. i'm speaking i have i'm speaking joe biden has been very clear. he will not raise taxes on anybody who makes less than 400,000 a year appeal to trump tax cuts. mr. vice president, i'm speaking well, i'm speaking is only going to repeal part of the trump tax cuts if you don't mind letting me finish, we can then have a conversation. okay now, the mics are going to be turned off. >> so when trump is talking, you're not going to hear her mic. so unlikely. i mean, i don't know exactly how this will play out, but that may not be able to see moments like that. is that a loss for her again?

>> i think there's a world in which it's a gain less this debate is going to be won by whatever candidate emerges showing that they know the issues voters care about and are offering solutions on them not trying to have the mic drop dunking moments that live viral. those don't hurt. but watching that and i watched it back recently, it plays really well if you're a kamala's stand and you want to see someone dunk on depends if you're a undecided suburban voter who really wants to call a curious as homeless here is you want to hear about the plan for the border bringing down inflation childcare. you want to hear that you're not trying to hear anyone get in the mud with each other and she's run this campaign. i think wisely have kind of elevating and not punching down when donald trump plays low i think that would be a very wise tactic to employ tomorrow. almost pretend he's not there. talk about what she's for, what she wants to do and then be ready to fact check him if necessary. >> all right. so female voters are going to be that's been in the suburbs. >> so trump is 17 percentage point gain, david, with male voters in that latest new york times poll that everyone's been talking about deep diving on. okay? female voters are totally different story 42% back trump

53 for harris, that's a huge gap. nikki haley has weighed in on it and here's what she said i think it's because donald trump and j.d. >> vance need to change the way they speak about women. you don't need to call kamala dm. she didn't get this far just by accident. she is here. that's what it is. she's a prosecutor. you don't need to go and talk about intelligence. are looking or anything else, just focus on the policies when you call even a democrat woman dumb republican women get their backs up to yes she's right. >> agains right? she's she's 100% right there and the tricky part here is that for donald trump is to be able to attack kamala harris, right tie her to the failed policies of the biden-harris administration without attacking her personally. >> every time he's needle he's been calling her dom. >> it's a needle. it's going to be a tough needle for him to

thread read but if the american people just reminded don't reelect kamala harris right? there is in this, in this in this poll, it's, i don't want to screw this up to the new york times sienna poll found 61% of voters want the next president to bring major change for the biden administration, 61% of voters want major change for biden and when they pulled down that which can it represents major change in this upcoming election, trump 53 harris, 25. if donald trump gets out there and says, are you better off today than you were four years ago? if you're not and don't vote for this woman, don't vote for vice president kamala harris. if he could manage to do that and question after question entire to this administration, the failed policies. he comes out with the w doesn't do you think knowing him having worked, he he's no doubt aware of what you just said when nikki haley just said on some level, he's away clare of it. >> is he capable of not calling her dumb and basically throwing this away? >> he's capable of it. this is

a man who came up and television. he knows how to communicate to mass audiences. but i found him being less and less disciplined. he is far less disciplined now than he was even in 2016. and i think if we look back to the biden trump campaign pain or debate, it was horrible by biden, but we forgot donald trump and do super well, he tends to perform and say roughly on message for about 15 to 20 vendors. and then he gets sidetracked and anything that even sees his personal can rattle him and can push out that side of him that wants to be the attack dog. >> and the thing that i've seen with the speeches and everything else. but more recently, even the interviews is he's more and more incoherent. he he look, he can't be a devastatingly good communicator. be certainly has not been the past several weeks. and so maybe something happens tomorrow night where he remembers what he's supposed to be doing, but he sometimes he literally will have five or six half senate as soon as it's in a row. now if you've been watching the donald trump's soap opera, all they, you kind of know what he's trying to of know what he's trying to say. but i think he may not be able cognitively and what he called leaving yeah. call them

but if you know the donald trump show, you know, donald trump soap opera, you know what he's talking about. but if you don't, it's baffling. listen to the guy abc's just put out a pictures. >> we just got inside. i know, you know, the constitutional center really well there putting this is the stage were a little blinded where we're sitting, but the podiums here, the harris is going to be on the right so it's interesting, for biden, again for having never met before, right but both people be a little bit a little bit like, whoa, right? >> harris will be a little bit well, donald trump will be a little bit one oh, it'll be empty building. it's kind of artificial, right? it's a big venue, it's a big auditorium their constitution center built by my former boss, arlen specter, get it, luggage it's a great building to get over. every to go visit that's not where i spoke to the conversation ago. >> but listen, i think, you know, trump had a great line it when he did this, he did a press conference at bedminster. he said, no, kamala harris keeps talking about being ready

on day one. her day one was three-and-a-half years ago right. if he can land those kind of those kind of lines. and just again, reinforce that her day one was three-and-a-half years where's it go? she's had an opportunity to put these things in place. and if you like, these failed policies than vote for her by all means, as we look at this this where we're all going to be watching tomorrow night van you have a warning for the harris campaign is something you think that they sort of has gone beneath their radar that shouldn't well, i just think on the fracking question, there's something that we're going to be in pennsylvania. they keep saying, oh, she's going to she's going to end fracking. she is going to end fracking. hold on a second for four years. they did an and in fact, it's been a part of the biden-harris weapon against putin to do all this fracking to ship all this liquid natural gas to europe hold our allies in place. kamala harris needs bragg things. it does not shapiro who i was in the center of all this for fracking, but i'm just saying if you say well, i think she's going to end fracking what's important, pennsylvania, first of all, she didn't for four years and it's key to her strategy to

hold putin in check. >> and so there's certain things i think americans don't know about the sophistication the energy policy of this presidency, and they need to hit that hard. >> but she does need to create this distance from biden because biden is never taken credit for energy under his administration, not wanting to take off the left-wing that might think that he's not doing enough for the client i mean, she needs to be willing to own that this matters far more in pennsylvania and she nobody is going to question her dedication to combating climate change, but she needs to own that she is for fracking fracking question is not necessarily whether she's for or against fracking. the fracking questions he's guys are the bigger, bigger thing about kamala harris, who is she right to van's point? who is she? is she for reparations are not forgotten reparations as he for gun seizures or not forgotten seizures issue for ending private health care. she not for ending private. i'll go she's been on so many sides of these issues like trump. >> well you can talk about abortion, right? but no, kamala harris is at stake, but she hasn't walked back. she hasn't explain to people why.

listen, here's how i evolved on, on these issues. here's why i'm not going to take your gun. here's why i'm not going to ban fracking. here's why i'm running for senate. voters want to learn more about her in that new york times enough to answer and we'll see we're going to much actually more on things she said before versus now coming up. >> but i do want everyone to know you can watch that debate tomorrow night here on cnn, it is the abc news, a presidential debate simulcast will begin at 9:00 eastern, but we're all going to be here we're going to be here that you will be here or here on cnn starting five, along with my colleague wolf blitzer of her our special coverage. but next to trump campaign is pushing that story about haitian migrants eating pets, including cats. advances, home state of ohio. so guess what? we went fact check this one. lashing trump is now the older of the two candidates and facing scrutiny for his verbal gaffes james earl jones legendary actor known for his unmistakable voice both on screen here at cnn, has died

political reporting that the story seem to have originated from a facebook post. this specific posts were all of this came from that has gone viral, cited somebody's neighbor's daughters front okay. being cnn that wasn't good enough for us so we call the city of springfield, ohio to ask them if there were reports, right. if anybody had called in saying their pets were abducted things that you would do and a spokesperson for the city responded that there is nothing to it. they tell us and i quote there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed or injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community front. now the democratic senator mark kelly of arizona, senator so this is a real world that we live in somebody's neighbors, daughter's friend said something on facebook and it goes crazy and it's out there in the ether and people's so believe it. and then you make a call to the police and springfield, illinois and they say, we ohio, i'm sorry. and we have not gotten any any any complaints of any of this. so vance tweets this story.

senator ted cruz, senator mike lee, elon musk. they've all given it more oxygen is this just the kind of election that we're in right now? >> well, erin, i think it's really unfortunate that you and the team at cnn and all these other networks have to spend all this time tracing this stuff down. and i think it highlights that j.d. vance, the trump campaign, that they don't want to be talking about the issues that the american people care about. things like the cost of their prescription drugs, which by the way, donald trump and j.d. vance said, he, this is in project 2025, that he would overturn the legislation that helped that's lower the price of drugs for seniors. all those things that the american people care about. they're not focused on. they're just focused, focused on rumors and made-up made-up stories. >> of course, trump has said that he, you know, he is a project that is not his agenda, even though many people who worked for him, of course, did work on that project 2025 he is

though playing senator, the groundwork to claim election fraud if he loses in november i just want to make sure people know that because if you weren't listening all weekend you might have missed that. what he said. he said that the only thing that stands between him and victory in this election is widespread fraud and cheating. here's what he said, senator we got to stop the cheating if we stopped that cheating, if we don't let them cheat, i don't even have to campaign anymore. we're going to win by so much do you think that this is just an empty threat or not no. >> i mean, his threats were not empty in 2020, i was there in the senate chamber when he sent a mob up to capitol hill to change the outcome of a free and fair election, something on precedent senate in our country's history. so no, i take his threats very seriously. and again, i'm going to reference what what we

talked about in the earlier question his project 2025. he wants to eliminate a large segment, segment of the federal workforce and replace them with his people and these are jobs that have been over decades or even our country's history are nonpartisan. and he wants to turn them into partisan jobs where they are working directly for him. so he wants to get rid of the federal workforce, replace them with his folks. and if you don't agree with him on what's what's happened here in the 2024 election then he says he's willing to send you to jail or prosecute you for just disagreeing with the former president so senator, when you talk about the situation, how close this election might be. and i know everyone's looking at the polls. i don't know whether the polls are accurate. i know they say who none of us know but it's the best we got and looking at where you're from your state, you are going to be

at the center of this right now. trump is ahead in the latest polling and arizona by five points. that's our cnn poll. if you go in even deeper, she does have some vulnerabilities that are very notable. and with keith he groups of voters there. trump is leading her by 14 points among men in your state independent voters by the same margin she is still winning hispanic voters, but her lead shows a cratering of support versus what biden did four years ago, he was up 24. she's up six do you think that she can make up these deficits? >> yeah. i think she's going to win in arizona and she's gonna win the election and she's going to win on the issues, the issues that arizonans even care about. you you talk about the border and border security. she supports our bipartisan border security bill that donald trump killed with republicans in the senate, told them they had to walk away from it. they ran away from it. he is the reason why we didn't get that legislation passed, which would have provided for more border patrol pay and border patrol agents, fentanyl

detection machines at the southern border at our ports of entry because of that because of donald trump more fentanyl gets through when we get that message out and we're doing this to the folks in arizona they get it. and you're going to see on other issues. let's just talk about women's reproductive rights for a second here. i mean, i'm on women's health care he claims and he's right. i mean, he broke roe v. wade. he took away this fundamental right for women. and what that meant in the state of arizona is women have gone back and forth between one bad abortion ban and another and they're stuck with this because of donald trump. so they have an opportunity here to fix this by electing kamala harris as president. and i'm confident that in the next 55 days we're going to make sure that she wins. i'm going to do everything i possibly can to make sure she wins in arizona and wins the election. >> there were a lot of people, senator who wanted you to be the vice president for a lot of reasons you're pilot your views on the border. you're being a

moderate democrat and of course your history as an astronaut, you are a retired nasa astronaut and you have a series of books out believes is out now i'm astronaut saves the world. it's about this mouse named meteor. in this case working to divert an asteroid that's racing towards earth it's a great series. i am so thrilled to have this third one now, but i want to ask you about the the astronauts now in this context, kids reading this are seeing these astronauts stuck in space. they were supposed to go up there a week. they're gonna spend eight months up there. you're one of the few people on this planet who know how horrific that news is for them. they went up on. boeing but it's elon musk who is going to bring them down what does that say to you? >> well, first of all, sunny and butch are professionals i both worked with them as astronauts, but also before when we were both we were all navy test pilots together. sunny and i taught at the u.s. naval test pilot school. so their professionals their trip is going from eight days to eight months kind of hard to swallow, but they're prepared

for this are going to be fine spacex has a very reliable spacecraft,'ll be ready to go. it can bring them back next year, boeing starliner, we need this capability as well. i'm confident that in time with maybe a couple of more test flights and additional work, we're going to get the boeing starliner flying it's important to our own ability to get to low earth orbit and eventually to other places in the solar system. so we just have more work to do on that. and on the book i'm really really glad you're excited about it and it's great for kids to read. kids get excited about space and astronauts, they certainly do my, my kids have enjoyed the prior ones in series. i'm holding it up now. i hope our people will get this the asteroid story line here as new york times said, sure to please senator, great to see you and congratulations on this latest part of your career.

next tonight, trump's combative and offensive defense. debate style about to get its biggest test when the former president goes head-to-head with harris tomorrow she doesn't have the look. >> she doesn't have the stamina plus legendary actor james earl well, jones die his voice synonymous with so many incredible things and movies, but also with this network. and of course star wars it was at trouble losing weight and keeping same, discover the power of wegovy my janan the gobi he lost 35 pounds and some lost over 46 pounds. >> we go and i'm keeping the weight off gugi helps you lose weight and keep it off.

with jefca, but those numbers are small relative to the the kind of economic numbers that i'm talking about, including growth. but growth also headed up by what the plan is that i that i just told you about and i should say at the beginning said leon's going to send up a rocket. he ilan, right? elon musk as we were just talking about with senator mark kelly. but the stakes here tomorrow night are incredibly high for trump and harris. and there's a lot that we can predict from their tactics in previous debates because we've seen a lot of them jeff zeleny is outfront donald trump and kamala harris have spent months talking about one another. if comrade kamala harris gets four more years, you will be living a full blown banana republic. >> if you got something to say on tuesday night, they will talk to one another in a duel seen around the world, but with one of the most important

audiences here in pennsylvania and i don't know if i'll really know until it's time to actually vote. this will be trumped seventh debate more than any nominee in history. harris and her team have studied all of the previous 63 with hillary clinton. know pop the day. >> no it's pretty clear the end three with joe biden listen which offer lessons for both sides for harris, it's a marquee moment to show americans she is ready to assume the presidency a question very much on the minds of voters and pivotal bucks county, just outside philadelphia, where signs of support for all sides are in inescapable by nature. i am a republican, always voted republican i'm not sure this year. >> i'm going to go with trump regardless. i don't know enough about kamala and big deals with the border and inflation is my main thing. >> my hope is that they're going to tell us what they're going to do, not what the other person has done wrong

pennsylvania is at the center of the presidential race with harris trump in their allies spending more than any other battleground. >> $82 million from democrats 74 million from republicans. as a fight to define the vice74 mis a fight to define the vice president dominates the airwaves. >> it's a very different vision than donald trump's dangerously liberal. >> kamala harris is no laughing matter harris has spent the last five days in pittsburgh preparing for the debate. look good time to turn the page on the divisiveness it's time to bring our country together chart a new way forward. >> in a weekend rally in wisconsin, trump argued, he is the true candidate of change. >> kamala harris and the communist left have unleashed a brutal plague of bloodshed crime, chaos, misery, and death upon our land and it's only going to get worse that rhetoric raises the question of what tone trump intends to

strike and whether it will be sexist, as he often was against clinton in 2016 she doesn't have the look. >> she doesn't have the stamina or seize upon policies of the biden-harris administration as he did in june we had the safest border in history. now, we have the worst border in history. >> trump has been familiarizing himself with old harris debates to mr. vice president. >> i'm speaking i'm speaking. if you don't mind letting me finish, we can then have a conversation. okay. please. okay. >> those stinging moments from a former prosecutor now trying to make the case that she can turn the page to the presidency vice president harris arrived in philadelphia just a short time ago after some intense debate preparations in pittsburgh, of course, that was chosen for a reason western part of this commonwealth is so important to her strategy for the white house. but erin, for all the conversations of the vice president has had with hillary clinton and joe biden. it's clear she also wants to chart her own course and be seen as the candidate of

change. but talking to those voters, they definitely want to hear more about her policies specifically as they make up their mind and in the closing two months, zeleny. >> thank you very much. in philadelphia and i want to go now to anita dunn. she was one of president biden's closest advisers before leaving the white house and july, she is now senior advisor to the pro-harris super pac future forward it's great to have you with me, so you've got this debate, obviously, we're hours away now. and abc is sticking with the rules. they are going to mute the candidates microphones when it's not their turn to speak. now, it has been very clear from our reporting that that is not what harris wanted. she wanted that rule who change and her debate strategy has centered around those direct exchanges for trump with trump tapping into her foreign prosecutor skills. so you know, jumping in and erupting, clarifying, fact fact-checking. so do you think these muted mics are a disadvantage for her?

>> thank you for having me on air and i'm going to start by saying, i think that vice president harris is going to do fine whether or not the mics unmuted. she is extremely good at communicating clearly, succinctly and passionately what her vision for this country is. and this really is what the candidates need to do tomorrow night. i think whether or not the mics are muted, what she needs to do is she needs to talk to the american people and she needs to tell them what does it mean to turn the page? what is that new way forward as you've your piece by jeff zeleny said, this is what voters want to hear. these debates are really for voters. i think she's going to do fine whether or not the mics mics are muted. >> now, i understand from sources that have been talking to jeff and others that a big part of her debate prep and she's done lot of that because she's been able to look at all of trump's debates as jeff just pointed out, he's done more than anyone else running for the office in that role the she's prepared for personal

insults, derogatory comments that we've heard trump use another debate contexts, but also about her here is how she responded when she was asked about what she's going to do if this happens by dana bash he suggested that you happened to turn black recently for political purposes. >> questioning a core part of your identity and his same old tired playbook next question, please that's it. >> so do you want to see her give an answer like that in the debate or do you want her to bring a topic up like this if it isn't brought up by somebody else? >> you know, it's funny. i've i've listened to republicans for the last several days now, basically take to the airwaves on your network and others to plead with donald trump not to go down this road because

should he go down this road, i think it will be a clear win for the vice president that she is prepared, that she has a lot of tools at her disposal to deal with it, but more importantly, let's get back to the fundamentals the american people want to know who's gonna be on their side, who's going to fight for the middle class who's going to protect seniors. she's got the answer to that. if former president trump comes out and goes down, that that tired old road is, she said of insults and misogyny and all of that. it will be probably the best thing that's happened to her so last time that we were here on the eve of a presidential debate, anita, you were working obviously in a very different race. >> i mean, it was a completely different world. and you were part of that core small team preparing president biden for the debate with trump all right. now, i know those those initial days after even that moment watching it you know, you've had a chance to think and to put some context around this yourself.

>> do you look back and eat it and have any regrets about how president biden was prepared for that debate with trump? roughly the same team that prepared him in 2020 for the two debates that he won, prepared him in 2024. and the reality of it is that you, know, at the end of the day trump certainly didn't have a great debate. you've had other people in this on this network today saying that as well, the president had a rough beginning and then he actually had an okay. finish. so i think that debate is done what you need to do when you are preparing to debate donald trump. as you need to prepare for someone who might show up and be somewhat disciplined for the first 30, 40 minutes as he was in a couple of the clinton debates, you might, you have to prepare for someone who shows up and has totally undisciplined, which he was in the first biden debating 2020, you have to show up for someone who is going to be by repetition alone, get

through lies and you have to be prepared to deal with that. so preparing to debate donald trump. and again, i'm very confident the vice president is fully prepared. preparing to debate him as to prepare to debate several different looks, but with one clear standard that goes through all of his debate performances, which is he will say, anything. and so that is actually the hurdle is not to go down those rabbit holes so as he will say, anything, and it may not make sense, it may be totally incoherent, but he will say with a lot of authority. and so making sure you know what your game plan is, what you want to say to the american people is key. and i believe the vice president will be fully prepared to do that. >> i need thank you very much. i appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> thank you for having me on erin. all right. >> and next, a kfile investigation into a questionnaire that vice president harris filled out during the last election it was

immigration. so in 2019 and what kfile found, she said she would cut funding to i.c.e. writing quote, our immigrant detention system is out of control and i believe we must end the unfair incarceration of thousands of individuals, families, and children. i was one of the first senators after president trump was elected to advocate for a decrease in funding to i.c.e. will now, of course, he's touting the biden administration's executive order to crack down on the border, kfile's andrew kaczynski joins me now. andrew, that's pretty incredible on its own. when you're talking about what you found here on ice, what else did you find? >> yeah. this was a questionnaire that she filled out for the ecl aclu and this questionnaire is really an interesting snapshot in time of that 2019 democratic primary. kamala harris was trying to get to the left of bernie sanders. she was trying to get to the left of elizabeth warren and you really see that in a lot of these answers. i don't want to walk our viewers through a little bit of what she he said, let's just take immigration and look at what she said here. she said on immigration, she made this open-ended pledge to

end immigrant attention. she said she supported taxpayer funded gender transition surgeries for detain migrants. she also said she funded gender transition surgeries for detainment chain might actually said she supported wrote both wrote and answered in the affirmative when she was asked this and she said she also supported it for federal prisoners. now, she also pledged to slash immigration detention by 50% close all family and private facilities, and decreased funding for i.c.e. and then the end and i.c.e. detainer is with local but enforcement. >> i mean, these are these are things that it would be hard to think that you would come up with taxpayer funding, gender transitions for detain migrants. and yet, as you say, written and and verbally you know, what else did you find? >> well, let's also let's take a look at her answer here. are on drugs. she got asked about the question from the aclu, was since drug use is better addressed as a public health

issue through treatment and other programming will you support the decriminalization at the federal level of all drug possession for personal use. and harris answers, yes. now, what would that mean? well, i mean, the federal all all drug possession that's not just marijuana, which she alluded to in her answer to this question, but it also would mean yes, federal level all drug possession no. >> okay. and things like that? yeah. >> have they responded to you on her changes on these issues? >> so we did put this question to the harris campaign about the entire aclu questionnaire and the harris campaign didn't answer any questions from cnn. instead, they just provided a statement from an unnamed harris campaign adviser that just said the vice president's positions have been shaped by three years of effective government governance as part of the biden-harris administration. now, they declined to cnn to elaborate on what those positions were. then they also provided this statement which they attributed to his spokesperson saying, as president, she will take that

same pragmatic approach focusing on common sense solutions for the sake of progress. so where does she stand on this all, all this questioner today, we don't know and they won't say it' >> andrew. k. file for this reporting next, we remember james earl jones, the voice of darth vader, and mufasa. but one of his longest gigs was right here at cnn cnn news is this dog food in your fridge? >> it's not dog food. it's fresh pet, real meat, real vinci seems like a lot of space to waste on a dog you're all the family i need action i don't have okay, everybody, that's watch mud, mask no. no.
