4:01 pm
outfront starts right now outfront next, the breaking news, two new polls with good news for kamala harris as trump tries to convince it's america that he won the debate. those are his words, is his inner circle that we find that plus setting the record straight, the city of springfield, ohio with a message tonight for trump after he claimed migrants were eating cats and dogs. a top official for springfield will be outfront and more breaking news tonight, rapidly intensifying intensifying hurricane with winds over 100 miles an hour, making landfall near new orleans. intensity of the storm ticking everyone by surprise, very sudden intensification. we're going to take you there live. let's go outfront and good evening. >> i'm erin burnett, outfront tonight. the breaking news, two new polls showing harris momentum. let's look at virginia this is a wide lead. now that the vice president has
4:02 pm
in the polling ten point lead two months ago, this very same poll that you're looking at with harris sub ten had biden down two. so that's 12 point swing in two months and let's now look at wisconsin, which is obviously one of the important seven swing states. this one, you can see kamala harris is ahead by four points we say no clear leader because the margin of error is 4.6. this is all polling coming out obviously the 24 hours after that poll kamala harris, obviously, and former president trump facing off there, trump using his old playbook on that stage in saying now that he won the debate, now the showdown that probably if you're watching this watch was seen by more than 57 million people we won the debate according to every poll of polls, just saying that i won that by at 29. >> jesse said trump won that debate. that was, we won that debate by a lot. i won that
4:03 pm
too. i won the debate. we won the debate i won the debate by a lot all right, that sentiment though, of course not exactly shared by some of his strongest supporters including the newest and high profile member of team trump rfk junior vice president harris clearly won the debate in terms of her delivery. >> her polish her organization, and her preparation. i know the president listed several people. that he had fired during his administration he may want to add to that the people that prepped him for the debate last night, he it was the land of missed opportunities. i don't think he should say stuff that may be made make it harder for people to vote for. >> you. >> took the bait on occasions. >> i do well, more where that came from other lifelong republicans have also criticized the former president karl rove wrote in the wall street journal, a catastrophic debate for trump. the conservative national review. just two words. trump's train wreck and it's after the
4:04 pm
debate ended, the drudge report posted their main headline, the end. as you can see, the dogs and cats, this is why i have talked with military leaders, some of whom work with you. and they say you're a disgrace, a dictator who would eat you for lunch liable for sexual assault. you're not running against joe biden, were running against me. donald trump was fired by 81 million people well, lines like that. and the way that night went last night, maybe why trump is having second thoughts about whether he should debate harris again when you, when you don't really necessarily have to do it a second time. >> so we'll see well, even as the. debate was happening, live, there was evidence of how viewers saw this in terms of harris winning the washington post, philip bump points out there was a massive spike in google searches for voter registration. >> and that that particular moment coin coincided with what was happening on your screen,
4:05 pm
which was this about january 6, i had nothing to do with that other than they asked me to make a speech. i showed up for a speech. >> i was there on that day the president of the united states incited a violent mob to attack our nation's capital to desecrate our nation's capital so that was the voter registration surge happened. >> it was coincided as i said, with that moment. now, let's look at the second spike with this also an voter registration. this happened right after taylor swift endorsed harris and the post from swift officially backing harris at 9.4 million likes. now, we do know more than 300,000 people were directed from this specific post to a voter registration site. now, look, you're talking king about a few hundred thousand people. i mean, a lot more than that, but even just on that, you know, they went to the link. i mean, remember georgia 10,770 votes and an arizona
4:06 pm
even narrower than that, you get the point those numbers can mean absolutely everything. just a short time ago, trump's running mate, jd vance responded to the taylor swift endorsement we admire taylor swift's music, but i don't think most americans, whether they like her music, are fans of hers or not, are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who i think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of those americans all right, let's just start with jeff zeleny outfront in washington so jeff, you've been talking to your sources in both campaigns here as the day has gone by, as this has had a chance to sort of marinate, shall we say, what are you learning tonight? what are the bottom line is winning a debate does not guarantee winning an election and losing a debate does not equate to losing the election. however talking to a variety of people, one thing is clear. one of the chief objectives of donald trump going into the debate was to slow the rise of kamala harris was to slow her a momentum to
4:07 pm
raise questions about her candidacy. he did not do that. she is entering the final 55 days of this campaign with wind at her back. but more important certainly in energized base of supporters that helps on fundraising, on volunteer activities. and more important than ever, one of the biggest currencies of course, in politics is kind confidence. you saw a confident camila harris on the stage last night. so talking to a variety of trump advisers, they are wondering if he is in a bit of denial about his actual performance at the debate, i was in the spin room last night when he came in and if you went to debate, you do not come in and explain the debate. so in the coming days advisors are wondering if he will stay consumed by his debate performance or will shake it off to use the taylor swift reference. there and move forward. look at where the candidates are going. so key, harris tomorrow will be in north carolina, two rallies in charlotte, in greensboro. donald trump is going to arizona, north carolina has
4:08 pm
emerged now as a critic nicole battleground, and i was talking to a governor roy cooper last night. he believes the answers on health care and abortion could help her win that state. we of course the shall see. >> but the debate is now over. >> we'll see if there's a second one, but one thing we do know, kamala harris still has that momentum and trump is on his heels. >> erin all right. jeff, thank you very much. and everyone is here with me now. margaret look as jeff started out with losing a debate, doesn't mean you lose winning doesn't mean you win but obviously even those closest to trump it's not like they're being quiet about what they think. i mean, trey gowdy. there was a lot more of that sound bite almost wanted to play the whole thing thank you know, talking to republicans today is there anybody buying either into trump's version of things which is that he won, or anybody who thinks that trump saying that loudly will change the perception of whether he won. >> well, the republicans that i'm most close to are the republicans like mitt romney circa 2012 election,
4:09 pm
republicans and then many of the republicans to, voted to certify the election in the house of representatives, who voted to impeach donald trump after january 6. those folks are the folks that i spoke to today. people sort of aligned with that position. and not only was there a broad recognition that trump had in their words, missed an opportunity. you look among this considerations that there are still a lot of pumpkins. they are quite hopeful that donald trump will change, will become more disciplined suddenly, he'll become seems, seems crazy to me. but there are republics were still hopeful. so what i am hearing at least today, anecdotally is that if republicans want to have any prayer for november, and if donald trump continues along that trajectory they have to redouble and focus their efforts on the senate because the senate may be the only place where they have an opportunity to really hold onto power and the federal government, the senate map is maybe the only chance because the down-ballot effect of that disastrous debate performance more if those, that kind of momentum continues we'll really have a consequential effect on
4:10 pm
who runs the government obviously, you're talking to the other chambers to i mean, congressman marc caputo has numerous sources in trump world from the bulwark and he is saying that there was a deep detailed plan for for trump in the debate and hate trump is on board with it. >> this was the plan. if you are asked about haitian immigrants eating cats. okay. there was planned and the plan was at trump would dodge a punch, blamed town locals for the story because they knew it to be untrue and then attack harris on something else. but instead, trump was not asked about it. he brought it up on his own, and then a campaign insider tells marc caputo, foreign president was supposed was to pivot, but trump blew it. he was supposed to make her own the biden record that didn't really happen. do you view this as the land of missed opportunities as trey gowdy put it, i think there were some missed opportunities, but i definitely don't i don't view this. i've used obviously differently than a lot of folks. i think that i've said this before on cnn. i think the stakes are really high bye for the vice president. she had to perform if she did. and i think that the race was over. i think she did perform, i think but
4:11 pm
the bar was low. she jumped over the low bar, but i think that when americans independents, the ones that are going to decide this election, when they're looking at her and they're seeing scripted answers when they're seeing scripted facial expressions which are very inauthentic take people can see that we have a millennia of looking at facial expressions and seeing that they're fake. i don't think that she that she was able to establish what her positions where i don't think that she was able to successfully say yes, i may have said this very confidently on a video here, but i really don't mean that. i really mean this. i think she actually failed at that and i think when you look at the president trump he's baked into the cake. you know what you get every time so you're not worried when you see polls. >> i mean, you got to be thrilled by the polls you see today. >> well, you know what you get and wisconsin, but you know what you get and he gets out there and he performs and he reminds us how unfit he is to actually be the president of the united states. >> again, the thing that was most interesting that you put up earlier to me about debate is who is actually going to be the difference maker in this.
4:12 pm
it's going to be young people. it's going to be the taylor swift generation that absolutely matters. the fact that voter registration had a surge, people were looking, hey, how do i get registered and make sure that i can show up is actually a big deal and i'm going to tell you why. because gen z is coming online now, we've gotten millions of new voters that are coming online for this election. and there are a lot of boomers who are now offline who have passed away, who are not going to be voting one way to put it seeing is we're absolutely seeing a demographic shift in the electorate that kamala harris is meeting the moment too appeal to. okay. so gen z is actually a lot more conservative and you think, and gen z boys are not overwhelmingly fergana laris at all, but you don't i mean, considering where and i'm not i understand. >> boris age correlation, causality, but those moments that we highlighted in the surgeon voter registration do you feel comfortable acknowledging that the most those people were let me let me say you mentioned polls today. there's no poll. there are no poles today that pulled last
4:13 pm
night. >> yes. >> relay. that's ridiculous they don't reflect this. and what i'm you know, i think they'll get it bad for him, but you don't think they're gonna get worse. >> know, listen, if president trump is in the margin of error with him so the national poll, which is what i've seen, whether the vp is winning by a little bit or he's winning by a little bit. she's in trouble because the electoral college, he's going to win it all day and the reality is, is that kamala harris totally trump to trump on that stage. >> and with all of her policy proposals that she actually outlined, what he said that she talked about abortion. obviously and really hit him on that very hard. i think it was probably the most profound piece of it all. so well how long when you look at abortion, how long is too long? >> how what did he say? >> it is, is that donald trump admitted that he doesn't have a plan for anything. he was actually the president look for answers the question, no. >> and he tried to yourself 2050, which we all know. >> he's got an angry at him because he did have his own is going to dismiss this bloviate. it's ridiculous. she was asked
4:14 pm
specific questions to watch this american watch this donald trump's people watched it. everybody agrees i guess i could institute the my policy on this second margaret margaret, let me ask you that one thing that i think stood out to a lot of people though was when he was not disciplined, when she went to the obvious places that he knew she was going to go and you're supposed to just put your nose in the air and ignore it. i mean, let me just play a couple of them in case anybody forgot i'm going to invite you to attend one of donald trump's rallies. what you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom. >> she said people leaving, people don't go to her rallies. >> mine would strengthen the economy. what the wharton school has said is donald trump's plan would actually explode the deficit. >> i went to the wharton school of finance and many of those professors, that top professors i think my plan is a brilliant plan. it's a great plan. >> the values i bring to the
4:15 pm
importance of homeownership knowing not everybody got handed $400 million on a silver platter and then filed bankruptcy six times hi first of all, i wasn't given $400 million. i wish i was given a fraction of that, a tiny fraction. and built it into many, many billions of dollars, many, many billions i mean, she, she, she tried to wanted him to do that and he did, but he he knew that she would want him to do that. >> well, i don't know what he knew or what he didn't what what is very clear as that she very intentionally crafted specific lines that we all know what happened. the second she said, we all braced ourselves because we were like, oh, you didn't do that because we know how he responds to his crowd sizes now we know how he responds to his personal wealth, and we know how he responds to any suggestion that he's not the most entertaining person of all time what's surprising is that he wasn't prepared he maybe that's not surprised at all. i apparently, he he he didn't practice. i
4:16 pm
mean, he apparently he really wasn't as rehearsed or he were hurston his own untraditional way, which all of his advisers spend when you say how is it preparing this out? well, donald trump doesn't fair like a traditional candidate i mean, maybe we shouldn't be surprised, but i do think it means is commonly harris clearly performed. she can perform she can she can stand up to the contrast against him, american should have more contests. i don't think she should fold in her chips and go home and not have another debate. i think we should see more of this. >> you want another debate? do you want another debate? absolutely. let me say something real quick when i was walking in here, i saw what, you know, what americans thought about the president and her on the economy after, after this. and it was 20 points for him for 55, i think the 35 or something, for president trump on the economy, what i will say is i think that the american people lost in this debate because i think that abc, with all due respect to the media, it was absolutely horrible as it may you know, i just didn't clash with my point, please. when you look at the questions that they ask, those are not the questions that the people,
4:17 pm
the american people who are having trouble buying houses and groceries and putting gas in their tank want to hear about they were asking him questions about the 2020 the election in his thoughts and sarcasm that is pointed out, you could talk about a fact check, whether there were three of this and zero of that i mean, every opportunity opportunity for him, but i'm not seeing right i'm not saying that he didn't miss opportunities. >> what i'm saying to you is that debate in the questions that were asked were not the best questions that gave the public the best knowledge and make educated would man he doesn't have the temperature you can just say your thing, right and i had four minutes than she had he just doesn't have the right temperament. >> what i'm saying is when i when i when i watched when i watched the vice president, i don't see a leader there. i see the i see the moderators holding her hand and helping her win this. i would like to see the next president himself so hopefully got another day. i hope we get i hope we get another debate. alright, thank you all. and next breaking news, a massive hurricane
4:18 pm
making landfall near new orleans, winds had just, it was a sudden jump near 100 miles an hour, right now, strength of the swarm to suddenness of this is surprising. the most veteran forecasters tonight, the tables have turned the top house democrat keen, jeffrey's calling tonight for a cognitive if test for donald trump and we have breaking news. a governor of ohio just responding to trump's false rumor about haitian immigrants meeting pets it is springfield they're eating the dogs, the people that came in there eating the catch top county officials sets the record straight for a. lot of people in america were watching. and then the next day our world changed. >> murphy has begun the coil has cao owns coming out episodes. it says to the year-old gets okay to be gay, george bush does not care about black people never side so what i wrote would lead to a culture war and you didn't shift back like this and more shot like tv

4:23 pm
breaking news, hurricane francine on a collision course with new orleans, the massive storm growing quickly and size rapidly intensifying as a category two before making landfall in louisiana this new video into cnn showing the torrential rain and strong waves just outside of the city. >> the storm now moving across louisiana, new orleans bracing heavy for heavy winds strophic amount of rainfall, and the threat of a massive storm surge derek van dam joins me now on the phone in morgan city, louisiana near where francine man let made landfall and a derek, you are literally i just forced to move inside because the water where you are is rising so quickly what exactly is happening yeah, erin, we were forced to move from our live shot location because we had all agreed that if we started to see water over top, this berm that was kind of protecting this location. >> we were at near morgan city that we would we would leave immediately and once we started seeing what what are topping over, that was our q we decided to pack things up and get out
4:24 pm
of here in the past three hours or so. >> as we anticipated conditions deteriorated, but we did not anticipate the storm to become so strong. >> so quickly. and i think it caught a lot of people off guard as well. >> we saw increasing amount of debris flying through the skies, through the air from branches to tree limbs. >> and then of course, the constant threat of water flooding the area that we are located in and evacuating from right now, we are outside of the flood wall protection area near morgan city. so a slightly more vulnerable location, whereas if we were behind those flood walls, like morgan city proper is actually but what i'm concerned about erin, is that this storm which clearly has pack more of a punch than anticipated, has got it. >> meaning the outer edge of its eyewall set on impacting
4:25 pm
new orleans in the coming hours, just looking at the latest radar. and this trend of the deepest part of the thunderstorms, most intense part of that eyewall with a 90 mile per hour wind gusts is going to move over new orleans metro the politan, and that is the last thing that that city needs at this moment in time. in fact, we are getting reports of wind gusts at the new orleans international airport, louis armstrong airport of 59 miles per hour. >> and that's only going to increase here in the coming hours as this eyewall makes its way. closer and closer to new orleans. >> so we anticipate a very rough next four hours for that particular location. >> and new orleans, obviously, as you point out the suddenness with which this storm intensified, there wasn't the preparation, right? there wasn't the expectation it would be perhaps this bad. you know debt. we have some footage
4:26 pm
that you shared with us of the storm just before you were forcibly the area. so this is you earlier just a few moments ago as you were talking about that area with a berm so we're looking at you. i think you probably know because you were you were just there. this is what we're showing right now. i mean, is this what we're going to be seeing around new orleans well, you got to understand that much of new orleans is very susceptible to flooding, but they have such a robust levee system. >> so do i i think that we're going to see flooding from surge within new orleans proper. i don't believe so because of that robust system, but with a a storm surge warning within lake pontchartrain, other areas, slido outside northern lake pontchartrain could definitely experienced this storm surge as the southeast of the winds continue to push up that water into the area. and so we need
4:27 pm
to watch out for that. but this is also working against the rain that's falling on the interior of louisiana as well. so both of those kind of work together to help rise, raise the water as they work against each other. the water has know where to go, but up and so we need to be on high alert for rapidly rising rivers by us canals. and streets within the greater new orleans metropolitan. but i think the immediate threat right now is the fact that these winds are going to come in fierce. they're going to knock down trees. it's going to take down power and we know that it's been downgraded to a category one, but it still talking winds that are equivalent to a strong, strong category one hurricane. >> all right, thank you very much, derek, and stay safe. very glad you guys came in as a firm was breached, so thank you and also tonight, the top democrat in the house calling on donald trump to take a
4:28 pm
cognitive test after last night's debate performance, minority leader hakeem jeffries saying, quote, it's not clear to me that he's actually mentally fit to do the job outfront now, mike lawler, republican congressman from new york, also a member of foreign affairs committee and congressman, i'm glad to see you again. what do you say to hakeem jeffries or are you fully confident in trump's mental facility facilities? >> well, first, erin, let me just say i've been back in my district all day attending 911 ceremonies this the 23rd anniversary of 911, where we've remembered the 2,977 americans that died that fateful day. as well as those first responders that we have lost in recent years. and in my district, we continue to lose many first responders to 911 health-related illnesses. so let's keep all of them and their families in our prayers tonight with respect to leader jeffries comments, i find that rich. i mean, leader jeffries along with nancy pelosi and
4:29 pm
camila harris, gaslit, the nation for an entire year about joe biden's cognitive abilities and his abilities to not only run for president, but to serve another term so given that, i don't really take his comments seriously, other than obvious plea were 55 days away from an election so congressman, you know, of the things that we're talked about last night, but many of them stood out, but one of them very much on policy and that is ukraine. >> and you are obviously a very staunch supporter of ukraine i want to play with donald trump said. he was specifically asked asked if he wanted ukraine is a very basic question. it wasn't about funding, it wasn't about how to support. it was very basic. it was whether he wanted ukraine to win the war with russia. here's the exchange i want to ask you a very simple question tonight. do you want ukraine to win this war? >> i want the war to stop. i want to save lives that are being uselessly people being
4:30 pm
killed by the millions. it's the millions, it's so much worse than the numbers that you're getting. what you're fake numbers, mr. president doesn't know he's alive. >> your time is up just to clarify in the question, do you believe it's in the us best interest for ukraine to win this war? yes. >> and i think it's a us best interest to get this war finished and just get it had done. all right, negotiate a deal because we have to stop all of these human lives from being destroyed congress, i don't need to tell you, i'm sure you were watching that exchange lasted three minutes at trump was unable to say and it wasn't unable. >> he did not want to say that he wanted ukraine to win the war this is obviously personal to your wife, grew up in moldova on the border with ukraine. i know she has family there. i know you have been a staunch supporter of ukraine did you did your job on the floor? does this make you have pause about trump as a president look obviously, we
4:31 pm
want ukraine to be successful vladimir putin is a vile dictator and thug and the unholy alliance that we have seen from china i know russia, and iran is meant to undermine and destabilize the united states and the free world. >> the challenge here is that kamala harris and joe biden have failed miserably to contain these threats joe biden and kamala harris lifted sanctions on iran, tried to renegotiate the iran nuke clear deal. the illicit oil trade between china and iran has resulted in 100 $100,000,000,00 0 increase in iranian petroleum sales. that is what is funding hamas hezbollah, and the houthis. you look at ukraine russia invades ukraine, the us and europe are spending hundreds of billions of dollars to support ukraine yes, what europe is doing, their purchasing russian gas, the absurdity of all of this is part of the problem. and i think what president trump is getting to is that there really
4:32 pm
has not been a plan by this administration to bring this conflict to an end. i obviously am a strong supporter of ukraine. i want to make sure that ukraine keeps its sovereignty. but and i am also concerned obviously, if ukraine falls, what putin will do with respect to moldova and other former soviet satellite states. congressman. but i think what president trump, what president trump was getting at is that at the end of the day, based on the current situation, there needs to be a resolution. we cannot continue to prolong this war and results say that death he didn't say of thousands know he said he wanted to bring this conflict, did not say it was in the best interest of the united states. what he's going against her i've sat i've sat through i've sat through classified briefings and i'm not gonna get into the specifics of it, but i have sat through clef classified briefings with secretary blinken and we asked him point blank what is your plan? >> and the reality is, they don't really have one and i
4:33 pm
will say there are basic plan is that there's got to be a negotiation because she hated settlement and i think that's what president trump was getting at. now again, i think he should have been very clear that we want ukraine to succeed the bottom line is putin is a vile thug and dictator. and i for one, will continue to push back against vladimir putin's aggression in europe, right? >> words about putin? you were very clear. you said them twice. of course we do not hear those from the former president either when referring to vladimir putin. counsel lawler, i appreciate your time. thank you very much for being with me thanks erin all right. next the breaking news, the governor of ohio speaking out after trump plane migrants are eating pets say man job was eaten by the people that went there city official joins me next. >> plus it was this image of harris resting her chin our hand that speaks volumes about last night's debate. we have a special report on what really

years from now, but we're going to say this is where everything changed talking about the revolution breaking news, ohio's republican governor mike dewine pouring the cold water on a baseless rumor, which was amplified by trump, and vance and others about haitian immigrants eating people's pets this is something that came up on the internet and the internet can be quite crazy sometimes look, the mayor mare r2 of springfield says, no, there's no truth in that. they have no evidence of that at all. so i think we go with what the mayor says. he knows his city it comes after trump's cited the rumor as fact during the debate last night in springfield, they're eating the dogs, the
4:39 pm
people that came in there eating the cats, they're eating they're eating the pets of the people that live there and of course, we reported on the show monday that city officials told cnn that there is nothing to this. omar jimenez is outfront. he is in springfield and omar it is true that springfield has experienced an incredible influx of haitian migrants, up to 20,000 which is, you know, obviously massively, significant in the city of 60,000. but you've been there now talking to residents about what this means. what are you hearing from them? >> yeah. we're here. we got a whole number of things for starters, we went right to the haitian community here in springfield as soon as we got here, and haitians, i can tell you, were justice confused as everybody else when they heard about these allegations are unverified claims of people eating dogs and cats and ceiling people, and stealing pets from york but they also as one haitian community leader told me they were concerned about what these rumors would
4:40 pm
actually due to the community in the context of it would potentially put unnecessary target on their backs, but also add just another level of stress to what has already been an arduous journey and for many of these folks coming from haiti and having to leave their home now, 11 haitian immigrant that we spoke to who was a doctor back in haiti, he had she's now a nurse here trying to regain that certification hearing the united states, he actually told us he understood where the community was coming from as far as concerns over stresses on resources that the influx of migrants of immigrants has brought to this community, as we've heard from state officials and others, take a listen to some of what he told me what do you say to some of those people who are concerned about how many haitians have come in i would say i agree with these people, but the problem is we're not going to leave anytime soon because even though people i'm talking right here back in haiti, it's a matter of life
4:41 pm
and death and that seems to be the bottom line for everyone. is it an income? i mean, comedians of stresses here versus going back to something that as you just heard, was life or death. and just to be playing for everyone looking into this and maybe lumping this into the wider immigration debate. what we've seen in a lot of cases around the country has had to do with asylum seekers. what we see here is legal immigrants who are under temporary protected status as haitians have been. and as we know, the government has extended through january 2026, and the city has even gone as far to put a1 frequently asked questions page on their city website, knowing that people have been asking. but as you talked about before, you came to me it's about 20,000 up to 20,000 or so as we've heard from the mayor in previous cases, but it hasn't stopped a lot of the rumor mills that we've seen going around online, including a woman who ate a cap that was spreading that was supposed to be from here, that actually was from a
4:42 pm
town over 100 miles away. and there was no verification that that person was even haitian, but that is the nature of what we've seen circulated online and has affected those in the haitian community here in springfield, it's sort of incredible. >> you think we're having this conversation all right. omar, thank you very much. in omar is in springfield and some of the the residents there have been fuming because they are upset about being a political football in this the father of 11-year-old and clark who was killed when a minivan driven by a haitian immigrant who was in the us legally struck a school bus in springfield, ohio is speaking out. he's calling out donald trump and jd vance for using his son's death as a political talking zero point using aden as a political tool is to say the least reprehensible for any political purpose i speaking. >> of morally bankrupt politicians, bernie moreno, chip roy jd vance, and donald trump than spoken my son's name and use his death are political
4:43 pm
game this needs to stop. now i want to bring in melanie flax. >> well, she is the president of the clark county commission in ohio. that county includes springfield wilt as a republican and commissioner. i appreciate your time. so you know, as omar obviously is reporting from springfield, springfield is the largest town in clark county now, your town is in the center of the presidential election. so you have been put in a position to do something that i'm sure you never imagined you would be doing, which is actually looking into claims about haitians eating the pets to confirm whether or not it actually had occurred what did you find we have real problems here in clark county, ohio and that is not one of we have had one call to our dispatch center making those claims and when it was followed up on it was not substantiated and we have seen no other reports of that alright so one call we do have
4:44 pm
good. >> we do have challenges here. >> i mean, we do have challenges from the influx of haitian immigrants and refugees to our community leaders both in the county and the city are working together to stay focused on the issues that really are at play. here one of those is what mr. clarke brought up in the previous segment, which is driver safety and training secondly, we need funding to alleviate the pressure on our infrastructure that this refugee immigration has created. and third, we need resources for cultural assimilation. the challenges here for real. i'm confident that our springfield grit is what's going to get us through this to the other side once everybody is kind of, this is the news of the day and it passes but i urge people within our community and nationwide to be part of the solution instead of spreading false rumors, i want to ask you more about those rumors in a moment, but first, because you mentioned the challenge is the real challenges that are a part of this. and i think it's important, right? that you've got a story out here that's
4:45 pm
false, but you also have the town of 60,000 that was 60,000. now you get 20,000 people coming in that is going to be very important. that is going to change things. governor mike dewine today in your state announced he is sending new states support to springfield, but he's sending troopers. he's sending two-and-a-half million dollars and that's going to help with this influx on your system. do you think your county needs that assistance? and i guess are you crediting a false story about immigrants eating pets for why you are even getting that assistance we have been in conversation with the governor for many months about this and the assistance that's needed. we've been working with his office on health care. i sat down with him earlier this summer and we discuss many of the issues that are facing springfield as a result of this and clark county as a whole it's taking a toll on our infrastructure and we're not in a position to be able to fund all of those challenges
4:46 pm
ourself. >> so the state is helping us with health care and helping us with some of the driver training safety. >> i'm on my way home this evening. i did pass a ohio highway patrol in the city of springfield that had a car pulled over and it did appear that they were helping us with some of our driver training education and encouraging people to ensure that they're driving with a license so when we i want to ask you when you talked about the false claims out there and the impact that's having the fear of fishermen your community now that they are facing because of that there was jd vance, obviously senator from your state, so he knows springfield as well. >> he was out there at first amplifying this story, then he came out and said, okay, well, it was likely false the part about haitian migrants eating pets last night though, donald trump, junior posts an image on twitter saying, save our pets and it's trump on the back of a cat with some sort of an assault rifle and cats everywhere, elon musk with a
4:47 pm
picture of a kitten and a duckling. he puts out that saying, save them what's your reaction to this? i mean, when elon musk tweets something tens of millions of people we'll see it well, i'm not really here to discuss national politics because this is something that truly impacts my community and knowing that it's not true and seeing how that has distorted the and that's what the community that i have chosen to raise my family and to grow up and to come back to and to build my business. >> and it's disheartening to see that being perpetrated across the across the nation. i will say despite what has been shared nationwide and sent through social media, senator vance has been a good friend of springfield and a good friend to ohio and i appreciate that he said some of these planes are probably going to turn out to be false. and i think he has learned that that's the case all right. >> what commissioner well, i appreciate your time. thank you very much thank you all right.

4:51 pm
and all but forcing him to shake her hand, then immediately putting him on defense. >> my opponent has a plan that i call the trump's sales tax first of all, i have no sales tax. >> trump spent most of the night staring grimly ahead, rarely glancing her way no matter what she said, you're going to hear a bunch of lies. and that's not actually a surprising fact while harris watched him smiled, put her chin and her hand it's weaponization and seemed more at ease with each moment, at least to former fbi senior profiler, joe navarro, she looked at him with laser like focus and did not hesitate at all it was a far cry from trump comes triumphant stance when facing his fans and a telling exchange came when harris attacked those very events, people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom prompts lips pursed, his eyes, widened. he
4:52 pm
was alarmed by it. anytime we're surprised or alarm, we tend to open our eyes to let more light ends. i think this is one he never anticipated. >> mr. vice president. i'm speaking i have i'm speaking at one point, trump lifted part of harris's act from a 2020 presidential debate with mike pence in minnesota. she went out wedemann, i'm talking now. >> if you don't mind, please. does that sound familiar and harris drew a few cautions from debate watchers over the risk of appearing to smug or reveling too much in trump's legal problems. fact, i was going to send her a maga hat, one noted pollster posted. she needs to train her face not to respond it feeds into a female stereotype and more importantly risks offending undecided voters but as you might expect, that critique was quickly critiqued online by others who said, look, that's frankly sexist. you'd never say that about a male can and the bottom
