4:00 pm
our campus spaces for relocated classes. and have thought through every detail of your return yeah, this will be tough while september 23 is the date everyone's circle for the kids to go back to school. we've learned that football has been canceled once again because we know one of the football coaches was killed in this incident. so that football game has been canceled, but community members are asking to see exactly what's going to happen next. the sheriff today has been talking about parts of this destination. of course, talk revealing that that student wrote that school bus still so many questions about the early warning signs. we know he missed nine days of school before the shooting happened, but still so many questions left unanswered, but we have to figure out in the next few days. >> very right. ryan young reporting. thanks for that update. appreciate it very much and to our viewers thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. i'll see you monday morning in the cnn newsroom. that's an 11:00 a.m. eastern. you can always follow me on x, formerly
4:01 pm
known as twitter. you can instagram me at wolf blitzer in the situation room, by the way, is also available as a podcast. because wherever you get your podcast, erin burnett outfront starts right harris rails against trump's hate and division as the former president doubles down on a false claim the haitian immigrants are eating pets, running a conspiracy theorist who's racist tweets about harris or so offensive that marjorie taylor greene is up in arms plus springfield, ohio town that trump won't stop spreading rumors about is under siege tonight. bomb threats i have happened, schools been shut down now for the second day, mayor of springfield will be outfront and the country trump is obsessed with blaming el salvador is to blame for the border crisis. >> and criminals coming into the u.s. >> so cnn went there and what we found, what we'll share it with you. let's go outfront good evening. >> i'm erin burnett and outfront tonight, the breaking news hate, and division that is
4:02 pm
a quote from the vice president kamala harris, who is taking on trump and his rhetoric in her first interview since the debate, harris saying, quote, i think people are more willing now in light of the hate and division that we see coming out of donald trump to say, hey, let's put country first. and i think that just makes us stronger and more healthy as a country. let's stop with the division like enough of that. while this new interview coming as trump speaks out about controversial right-wing conspiracy theorist laura loomer now, loomer has been by his side quite constantly recently, including traveling to the debate with him and just before the debate, loomer says said that if harris wins the election, quote, the white house will smell like curry and white house speeches will be facilitated via a call center well, now, trump is saying just just coming out and making a comment, writing laura loomer doesn't work with the campaign. she's a private citizen and a longtime supporter. kind of sounds like he's trying to distance himself, but actually know he's trying to have it both ways because he continues to write i disagree with the
4:03 pm
statements she made, but like the many millions of people who support me, she is tired of watching the radical left marxists and fascists violently attack and smear me disagrees. but while loomer of course was with trump before the debate, where the foreign president again brought up that migrants are eating pets in springfield build ohio. that is a baseless claim that trump is still tripling down on springfield, ohio, the police chief, the republican governor of ohio of all debunk this story about people eating pets. another aplomb threatened schools kids being evacuated. why do you still spreading? >> no, no, no store. the real threat is what's happening at our border because you have thousands of people being killed by illegal migrants coming in all right, i'm going to speak to the mayor of springfield in a few moments, which is now dealing with bomb threats, school has had to be canceled for two days because of the story about eating pets. >> meanwhile, vice president harris today taking the fight to trump in the must-win state of pennsylvania let us be clear
4:04 pm
someone who suggest we should terminate the constitution of the united states of america should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the united states wrapping up a rally in wilkes-barre, pennsylvania and that location is important to note, is a county that trump won in 2020. >> priscilla alvarez is outfront. she's in wilkes-barre and priscilla, you've been learning more about harris, a strategy moving forward and she has been spending what, six of the past seven days in pennsylvania and i know from where what you were seeing today, you got a taste of the strategy. we're going to see in these future. for days exactly right, erin sources have been telling me that the vice president is expected to up her travel to these more
4:05 pm
rural and read counties in an attempt to peel off voters from former president donald trump. >> and today is a glimpse of that. the vice president going to two counties that donald donald trump won in 20, and won by double-digits that we saw something similar. if you go in the vice president also due to swing through south georgia again seeing those rural red counties now, campaign official telling me that they're trying to up her support in these areas and that all of it is a reflection of how close they see he, this race that it, even if they can peel off a few voters in each of these counties, that, that can really help them come november. now, of course the campaign has been looking for multiple pathways to those 270 electoral votes, but each time, pennsylvania is critical to that. and we know that from the vice president's travel, as you mentioned, over the last several days with a majority of her time has been spent in this state. now, while she was here in her remarks, she specifically focused on job opportunities and yeah, pretty
4:06 pm
next is adviser told me that was intentional. the idea of trying to appeal to some of those voters who perhaps are not diehard democrats, but are also uninjured trusted aide, former president donald trump and trying to make an argument here on the economy. i will also note that it was a republican who introduced the vice president and that has been part of the campaign 20 narrative as well, that she is trying to appeal to republicans, independents, and democrats. so clearly trying to make a play here in this county that voted for former president donald trump now of course, the campaign knows that they need to look at multiple strategies to try to clinch a victory in november. that also includes trying to forego some of the traditional media so big remarks and speeches about policy rollout and also try to find other opportunities to continue the energy of this campaign. >> erin, i, priscilla, thank you very much in wilkes-barre tonight and everyone here with me now. so david urban here, the context of what you see trump doing you know, he's he's triple down on conspiracy theories about springfield, ohio, and migrants there
4:07 pm
obviously also talking about the border. a harris has been focusing on saying, well, this is hate and division that's what it's about. is he helping her make her case? we do think this is hurting him right now or not. >> well, look, i'd like to see the president focused more of his time on the issues that people are telling everybody that they care about the economy homeownership things that keep pulling very high and not focused on, things like you know, missing, missing geese and stray dogs. i think, you know, it's kind of laughable. kamala harris is talking about division. but at the same rally, she's up there talking about it's basically lying. not it's spreading disinformation about president trump's project 2025. he's going to take your abortions, right? to an abortion away all things which president trump, erin, as you know, has disavowed, has said on the record numerous times, i won't i won't send won't sign an abortion ban project 2025. i
4:08 pm
disavowed it's everywhere they're good people on both sides. she continues to say the same old lies over and over again. and nobody is checking her and the thing that she's not talking about aaron in these counties that she goes too, which is which i applaud her for go into go into louisiana lackawanna county and wilkes-barre there and didn't go into cambria county. john sound today because she needs people need to see or they need to hear from her. and once they do here for mercy is going to lose by even worse because she gave an interview today to or maybe it was yesterday to an abc affiliate in philly when asked what she's gonna do for the economy, he talked about growing up as a kid, shouldn't answer the question. she hasn't answered anybody's questions ashley, starting answer your questions. i agree. i agree with jim clyber. get up there and answer questions, talk to people. ashley. >> i mean, speaking of not answering questions, i don't think david actually answered your question, which is you know that's i said, trump shouldn't do it. do what, what's the he should not be doing, stoking the flames. >> talking about worsen cats and dogs cats a dog.
4:09 pm
>> it's actually the effect of what he's saying. see mean the reality is that trump's words are incredibly powerful. we've seen this before when he came down that escalator and he called mexicans rapists, then he became the president and he signaled to white nationalist. he, you know, racial tension was at an all time high in people across america were feeling threatened by what the president was saying or lives were feeling threatened by what the president saying. and that's what we're seeing right now. and i think the sad thing is it's a silence of republicans they're not rebuking with the president saying they're not disavowing with the presence saying and the effect of his words. that's what's sad about this. and i think that's what the vice president was talking about today is the question that's before us now is do we want to live in that donald trump america? do we want to go back to a time where we were your neighbors, your family? your friends were feeling very threatened their lives, feeling threatened by literally and figuratively by the president's words. >> abby one i just wanted, i
4:10 pm
just want to ask you something about the springfield issue first, though, abby, this is when he does go beyond the pets he tries to make the point that springfield has been overrun and springfield has had an incredible influx or a third of the increase in population because of immigrants. and he's trying to hone in on this issue. so this is what he said today at that press conference. >> in springfield, ohio, 20,000 illegal haitian migrants have descended upon a town of 58,000 people, destroying their way of life. they've destroyed the play, so people don't like to talk about it because even the town doesn't like to talk about it because it sounds so bad for the town does that resonate? i think it resonates with some people at the problem is, first of all, what he's saying is also not true. the idea that they're all in his words illegal it's not true. i mean, there's here on a temporary protective status which is a legal status because they are fleeing unrest in haiti. but secondarily, i mean, trump talks about these things in
4:11 pm
very oblique ways. they are destroying their way of life. there are real challenges that this town is facing. the republican gov of, of the state of ohio has said, you know what, this is a real issue. here's what we're gonna do we're going to bring support to this town, but trump rather than dealing with it in a real way, is trying to stoke this idea that they're changing how you live your life. they are not like you. they never will be thank you and that is at the core of his i don't even like to call it really an immigration message. this is a nativist message that's how he sees the immigration issue. if it were just about who's here legally and illegally, he'd be talking about visa overstays from all over the world, which is not just from people in the southern part of this hemisphere, but that's not what this is about for trump, and that does work for a lot of people who are very susceptible to arguments that other people
4:12 pm
are coming in taking things that belong to them, changing their way of life so david, do you think they move beyond this, but this is actually lasted several longer than most things do in the news cycle. david, this issue of springfield, and it's not going away. does that do you think that that edge has some sort of staying power? >> i'm not quite sure why the former president continues to fixate on and listen if you want to talk about real problems, talk about laken riley to ask mayor eric adams, use his own words. who is of course, i would atlanta? yeah. i mean, there are real problems that come about because of, individual case he says that you want to, you want to highlight and talk about problems you can use those cases. mayor eric adams has said it's tear new york city apart. they can't do it. cities are busting at the seams by taking in all these illegal immigrants that it's tearing communities apart, big communities, big cities, small cities. so the president could do so without focusing on springfield. i think he this point is probably move on ashley, do you think at this point, you know, we had a five-point lead for harris in
4:13 pm
the reuters ipsos poll that came out last night. and you go through a whole lot of polling, some of which we use on cnn, some of which we don't, but very easy to build a case and polling right now that maybe there's she's within the margin of error, but but she's up not everywhere, but in a lot out of places enough to win it easily. >> do you think that that's the way this really is right now, or do you think that she truly is the underdog is xi again and again, describe yourself as well. i mean, i think you know donald trump typically overperforms in an election, then he does in the polls. so there's always some secrets. trump voter that's out there, that's being not being completely upfront and act when it comes to the polling. but i think the most important thing is if we get back to abby's point like it is working, but it's not working with that one too. two 2% of the population that he needs to actually help win this election. that's why he's hit a ceiling in the polls. that's why he's stubbornly at 48%. it does work
4:14 pm
with some americans, but definitely not those that he needs to bring to the table. he continues to isolate them with this type of rhetoric. and there's a way in which we can talk about solutions without demon nice seeing people without alienating people without undermining the very fabric of our nation. and that's what the president continues to do. it continues to go down this path of division rather than uniting the party and that's partly why that's partly why kamala harris is really hitting momentum 500 million. she's already raised that signifies that the hunter does not want a third season of donald trump there over this kind of rhetoric to our point, everybody's ready to turn the page, except for that 48%. well, that's a problem while in and it's a big, it's a big number two, it does show that margin of error she's aware of the abby, obviously, the outcome of this race, everything is at stake for trump right? if you lose loses, he could be going to jail yeah. i mean, in various people may feel that for their own reasons, but today you had a chance and incredible interview
4:15 pm
that you had to sit down with the supreme court, justice ketanji brown jackson, and she spoke to you about that incredibly important and controversial immunity ruling that could mean everything for trump. and i just wanted to play part of your conversation with her dissenting opinions. >> this is on the presidential immunity case, a major decision by the court. you characterize the majority's opinion as a five alarm fire that is pretty dire language why did you specifically use those words well, my dissent in that opinion was dissent, just justice sotomayor wrote the primary dissent, with which i fully agreed and i wrote that in my opinion i wanted to highlight some of the consequences that i foresaw as a result of this particular decision this was a significant case. >> i think everyone everybody
4:16 pm
recognized that and i thought it was important to make clear to the american people, at least my view of what the potential consequences were what stood out the most to you about what she said? well, look, i mean, the use of that language, five alarm fire, obviously it's nothing in these opinions are accidental or put in there flippantly this is her version of underscoring underlining how dire she thinks the consequences are of this decision to create a form of immunity for presidents that was as broad as what the majority did. and that concern what went beyond even what the other dissenting justices, sotomayor and kagan had to say hey, about that issue. i think it really shows there and she's very careful person, erin, as most justices are yet, but it shows there that there was a level of concern that
4:17 pm
went above and beyond even what she concurred with and she doesn't go into a great deal of detail about what those consequences could be. but she believes clearly that it was a mistake to create this category of immunity for presidents because of the consequences that it could be for the entire country. >> all right. well, abby, thank you very much. of course. ashley and david. thank you. and please don't miss obvious full interview with justice ketanji brown jackson that is on newsnight tonight at ten next springfield, ohio, the town of the false claims about immigrants eating pets is under siege, literal siege, bomb threats, schools have been closed now for two days, kids haven't been able to go to school. the city's mayor is next plus laura loomer, not the only conspiracy theorist who's been associated recently with the trump campaign. we've got new details about who next and trump pending the border crisis this on this country salvador, el salvador, el salvador so and to el salvador
4:18 pm

4:22 pm
together. that's what we usually did for me >> stephanie elam at the bridge fi in california. >> and this is cnn bomb threats in springfield, ohio leading to evacuations of several schools for the second day in a row. >> this is trump triples down on his rhetoric against immigrants in the area we will do large deportations from springfield, ohio, large, deportations were gonna get these people out. what bringing them back to venezuela? >> outfront now springfield mayor rob rue and meru, i appreciate your time. i know this has been a difficult few
4:23 pm
days for your town. i just want to ask you, we know that there has been bomb threats and school at led to the evacuations of schools have had to be closed for a couple of days here what more can you tell us about those threats and when you're going to be able to reopen those schools, if you, if you even feel you'll be confident have to do that next week well thank you for having me on the first have come through emails and so we have of course, any threat you receive, we have to research it. we have to be we believe and hope that will be back to school on monday, but when they come in, we have to research and but they are coming in through emails. >> they're coming in through emails. so when you hear the former president you just heard him a moment ago promising to deport migrants from springfield. he's saying to venezuela, i don't know if there's migrants in springfield from venezuela. you would know more than i do about that. we do know that there have been about 15,000 haitians who have come to your area in the past several years, which obviously choose significant, you gotta city 60,000, you get
4:24 pm
15,000 people coming in that's that's a big thing. it's a big difference but when it comes to deporting them, is that what the city wants? does that is fit with what you're hearing from people who live there? >> i mean, there's certainly some folks that would like to see that happen. you know what we would like to see is peace in our community. are we have a beautiful city we have a city that is resilient than wants to move forward together. we were an economic decline ten years ago over the last ten years, have 8,000 new jobs in our community so we're very resilient and we will come through this time the rumor or the eating pets issue, obviously has taken a life of its own as you're well aware to senator ted cruz tweeted out a picture. >> it had a blatantly racist caption on it. please vote for trump. so haitian immigrants don't eat us there were some cats on it. elon musk gave the story oxygen on x. he just
4:25 pm
tweeted out a picture of a baby duck, duckling and a kitten. and outside of social media, their headlines pushing it on several trump's supporting outlets, which i'm showing right now tonight, we are learning though mehr, that law enforcement went through nearly a year of calls received in springfield, nearly a year. none of them received another those calls received concerns pets being eaten, but they had to go through a year of calls, right. to try to fact-check. did this happen or not, people calling about their pets being eaten? all right. you're sitting there as a matter of springfield and you do have serious issues, right? you've got issues with you've got problems, right now that you're dealing with. are these rumors out there about eating pets, diverting crucial resources that >> well, let's talk about pets first. i just want to clearly say as pet lover, your pets are safe and springfield, ohio and it's odd that i even have to tell the national media that's a fact, but it is a fact. we're beautiful, beautiful city so
4:26 pm
we, like you said, we have problems in when anytime a population grows 25% and three there's, it's going to be a concern and we've heard infrastructure concern. we've asked for state help. our governor mike dewine to stepped in. he's helped us with coordinated effort state highway patrol to focus on reckless operation. he's not sent troops to springfield. we have an effort with the state patrol that has come together and helped our city police department in county sheriff that's, been, that's been valued the same time we've also had to naf million dollars over the next two years that the state is committed to help our health care system with basica. these folks are here. we don't see them leaving anytime soon. we want to get our arms around and be able to communicate with those that are here right now. >> so i don't know what your politics are, doesn't matter what your politics are. you're the mayor trump is not partisan, nonpartisan there. >> so i asked you this in that, in that capacity, just you managing it as a mare trump's floated the possibility of campaigning in springfield
4:27 pm
would that would that be okay. would that be something that could could happen that you would be able to handle in springfield i would say within the last two days and the amount of overtime and the amount of stress that's put on our law enforcement and help we've had. >> and also the threats we've had to make sure that are there credible, but yet aren't real, that we have to look at that. so it'd be a strange. so it would be definitely a strained to have any at the one of the candidates come to springfield, ohio. >> i appreciate your time. thank you very much for coming on and talking to me. >> thanks for having me on right next vaccine skeptics and election deniers, there's new reporting tonight on the controversial conspiracy theorists that right now are sort of in that inner circle of the trump campaign. >> plus trump claiming el salvador is to blame for the border crisis. so cnn went there and ask the question, why on the ground to see our droves of migrants really trying to flee for the united states but
4:28 pm
in the past three to four years, this country has seen a radical transformation locals tell us that they finally feel safe and up to be outside murphy has baby coil has cow reaction to the birds one-on-one episode was overwhelming the most emotional scene was the decision murphy may to not get an abortion. >> the vice president reacted as if it was a threat. the existence of america. >> the idea this fictional character played any role in politics is bananas tv on the edge, moments that shaped our culture premiers september 22 at nine on cnn and how do you sleep at night on a matches from at this firm? >> do you have a low price guarantee? so just get matched at mattress firm, sleep at night. are wish my tv provider

4:30 pm
travel to get an abortion. >> please think about me. >> you know, who got rid of roe v. wade now women are being refuse life-saving care at hospitals and politicians are trying to ban birth control. please think about me. >> my parents called me. they're miracle daughter because i was born with ivf but ivf could be ban to do they think we're less than human. >> do they think we can't make decisions about our own bodies, about our own lives when you vote, please think about me and me and me because the politician who got rid of roe v wade, he couldn't care less fisher investments. we may look like other money managers, but we're different. >> you can't be that different. >> we are we have a team of specialists, not only in investing, but also in financial and estate planning and more clients rely on you for all that? yes. and as a fiduciary, we always put their
4:31 pm
interests first, but you still saw commission-based products, right know, we have a simple management fees structured, so we do better when our clients do better, we're more different than i thought at fisher investments were clearly different with car guru's, you can buy or sell your car in-person or online if only you could do things your way. all the time. wouldn't that be nice to
4:32 pm
231 231 now he going again, covering the harris-walz camp mean cnn spirit that's how donald trump has described far-right conspiracy theorists, laura loomer, use those words today. here's some of what he said look, i can't tell you laura what to do. laura is a supporter. i have a lot of supporters. g is a strong person. she's got strong opinions and i don't know what she said, but that's not up to me. she is supporting. she brings a spirit to us that a lot of people have well, loomer
4:33 pm
has been by trump's side. she traveled with him to tuesday's debate and was with him to commemorate september 11. and she's not the only conspiracy theorists that trump is talking to right now. tom foreman is outfront kamala harris, right before the debate began. there he was former president donald trump calling into a social media war room set up by his campaign as you're more than i am actually because you get the word out according to the new york times, the room connected roughly 18 conservative influencers set to pass i don't doubt repost to ms harris his every utterance while vigorously defending mr. trump. >> and they did among them, i am just telling the truth about current events. >> vaccine skeptic, an election denier rogan o'handley, who gave his nearly 3 million instagram followers and image to suggest the moderators fareed harris through the night get around chaya raichik, known for conservative campaign's over school
4:34 pm
curriculums. >> we're up against a weaponized system, or nothing is out of bounds. the only option is to keep fighting back. >> she reinforced the trump trope that joe biden is furious over having step aside and you know what i'll give you a little secret. he hates, sir. he can't stand here. >> this is the regime that we will overturn and jack posobiec, who has openly talked about ending democracy, wade into suggest the uproar over trump saying pets are being eaten is just laughable. the cat went the greatest president ever, president donald trump. >> none of those folks seem as close to trump has influenced her. laura loomer, who has been seen with trump a lot lately. she has also drawn fire for conspiracy theories, and frankly, racist ideas very opinionated lady accident and in my opinion, i like yeah. as you note, erin, he's pushed her aside a little bit, but only a little bit. why does he like
4:35 pm
all these people? because they give him access to millions of fans without going through traditional news agencies like us and the fact checks that we bring aaron. >> all right. tom. thank you very much. so i want to go to marc caputo now from the bulwark, he's got new reporting about trump's relationship with laura loomer so mark, you heard what tom said, you know, he's been trying to distance himself maybe just a little bit. >> what we heard, but not fully he obviously traveled with her to the debate at loomer who was with him in new york and pennsylvania on september 11 what can you tell us about their relationship? >> how spending with her i can't say the full amount of time that trump has spent with laura loomer, but on numerous occasions, he's invited her to fly along with him because he really likes her spirit. >> has he said and he loves the facts that not only is she a trump defender, but she is a
4:36 pm
trump attacker. that is anyone who criticizes president trump or especially on the republican side, anyone who is not vociferously in favor of him, she just decimates. i mean, she will take a flame thrower to them. if you look at her twitter feed it's pretty caustic stuff so it is it is kostic would be an understatement. >> people can look for themselves here's the thing though, mark trump almost high or almost hired her on the campaign last year and then his team stepped in to make sure it didn't happen. so you've got many of his closest allies now denouncing her i mean, it's certainly we all heard what marjorie taylor greene said this week. i'll play it again for anyone who didn't concerns about her rhetoric and hateful tone. to me, many of the comments that she makes and how she attacks republicans like me many other republicans that are strong supporters of president trump. i think there are a huge problem and that doesn't wrap for his maga as a
4:37 pm

4:50 pm
interesting. you mentioned those countries because we went to all those countries before we went to el salvador. and in each of those countries, erin, i mean, i was shocked how many folks came up to us and would at sometime mentioned president bukele, not even their presidents. someone say, oh, we want him to be our president. now officials and even some military commanders from those countries behind closed doors. they tell us, we don't believe it were skeptical of what bukele is allegedly done and they're critical of it. so now, the argument from bukele is team is that that's because there are envious that aside, the folks of el salvador, you see it there. most of them say they're happy with what's happened to sustain it, to answer your question, they said the economy needs to follow you, know will see david culver. thank you so much as always for such important reporting. thank you next, he's advised multiple presidents he was at the white house today and tonight. >> he's got a very specific idea for kamala harris, john hope bryant is next things in changing changing

4:55 pm
it together. that's what we usually cooper with me 60 next on cnn breaking news, vice president kamala harris, moments ago making a direct economic pitch to pennsylvania voters in a county that trump won by nearly 15 points when i've talked about building an opportunity economy it is grounded in that foundational belief that when given an opportunity, people excel every day
4:56 pm
john hope bryant, he's an entrepreneur, a leading expert on personal finance and best-selling author, including for the book financial literacy for all. and he has advised presidents bill clinton, george w bush, and barak obama. and today he was at a white, at the white house today for a meeting. i'm president biden's remaining economic agenda. so john, you know, as you're in the center of this moment here, one of your areas of expertise is housing, which is now a core to the harris campaign. she's made it a priority. she just talked about it tonight at her rally in pennsylvania. she says she's going to make housing more affordable and she focuses in on a couple of things. one is she's going to build more housing units, 3 million more. she says and then she's offered up to $25,000 in government paid down payment help for homebuyers and a $10,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers. i know though, john, that you think there's another idea that she needs to include in her plan and it is specific. it is a 40 year mortgage. how come?
4:57 pm
>> yeah well, in 1930 30 year mortgage was created, it we lived about 59-years-old. so it was about half of your life? and now we're living at about 80 80-years-old at one or better with wellness. and so a 40 year mortgage time to upgrade the software on it. the benefit of it is if you run it through the federal home loan banks system and for first-time homeowners you get a 30 three-and-a-half to four-and-a-half percent rate subsidized rate you have say by fiber dollars a month on a 300,000 mortgage, which is a game changer for people with too much month at the end of their money. so you got to, in the short-term, give people a chance to get into houses before the three main homes gets built. because it takes some time for the private sector to do that. and we should note, it's a private sector is going to build homes, not the government and the down-payment assistance that has to go through congress. these other things have to go through congress. this is something that can happen pretty much right now. and it allows you to get be affordable now. and a three-and-a-half to
4:58 pm
4.5% mortgage is also becomes an asset parallel to the acid itself if god forbid you pass on you can give the sheer child the home and the benefit of the three-and-a-half to 4% assumable mortgage because after five or ten years is the preference would burn off so it moves with the person. >> all right now, i know you've always you're an unabashed capitalist and yet you're talking obviously about a subsidized rate and part of harris his plan, right. is that she says it will incentivize homeownership by this $25,000 tax incentive, right. so the criticism of this is when you put out a subsidy on interest rate or you put out $25,000 of an incentive you give someone that to buy a home they don't get the benefit. it just pushes up the asset price. one economist said, i think it's a bad idea. the ultimate beneficiary of that credit is not going to be first-time home buyers. it's going to be people selling homes, right? so on the $25,000 of ice, i'm going to give you that then they just jack up the house
4:59 pm
price by $25,000 right. >> do you think that's a fair criticism? >> do you have hesitation about an incentive like that are a subsidy on the rate he's. >> absolutely right unless he's wrong, he's right unless you don't expand the inventory of homes. so if all you do is provide the $25,000 incentive and you don't chain supply and demand, then he's right. but what she said was at a more holistic way and this is why i liked the way she thinks an opportunity economy fans of economy. let's incentivize the private sector to create more homes, which creates more supply that then drives that harmonizes demand so now you're the seller. you can't just determine whatever rules you have. the road, how much going to sell your house where you get compete? whether people who are buying and selling homes at you or the white house today, as i mentioned, president biden was there at that event, he slammed trump on this issue of haitian migrants eating pets that he's talked about.
5:00 pm
obviously, it is not true that did not happen. he has continued to repeat this though here. he is just last night recording of 911 calls even show residents are reporting that the migrants are walking off with the town's geese they take into geese and even walking off with their pets spend to ban tiktok saying it. >> but when you take a step back, i know you see a bigger problem with this beyond this moment and what kind of division that might cause. what does it? >> in 1972, you couldn't get a bank account because you're a woman in 1972, you couldn't get a credit card. your husband have two would have to qualify for a loan for you guarantee it in 18, 70 to 1972, we got beyond that stupid moment. we're now,
