norway, who, in a case of mistaken identity, was killed but turned out not not to have been involved. still operations like these recent ones against hezbollah have a lasting effect on israel's enemies psychologically, they're going to turn on one another who are the informant's? how could this happen? there? it'd be fearful. they're going to be in short, disrupted the new york times citing officials and security experts reports that earlier this year has balah leader hassan nasrallah put strict limits on the group's use of cell phones because he thought there were too vulnerable to israeli surveillance. >> wolf, brian todd reporting for us. brian, thank you very, very much. and to our viewers, thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room erin burnett outfront starts right now

outfront next, moving up a new swing state polls tonight show harris in the lead as a major fed interest rate cut could give another big boost to the vice president trump tonight calling foul plus springfield, ohio rocked by new bomb threats tonight. >> after trump's false claim about haitian migrants eating pets even the editor of the haitian times was targeted. what happened when she answered the door of her home? she's my guest tonight. >> and the one and only connie chung is outfront she doesn't hold back on. >> barbara walters, dan rather, and revealing a surprise when we thought the interview was over let's go outfront good evening i'm erin burnett out front tonight, a swing state surge, new polls this evening show the vice president's campaign is picking up speed in crucial battleground states that includes pennsylvania, where kamala harris has now opened up
4:02 pm
a sixt point lead 51% to trump's 45. now that is outside the margin of error in michigan, 50% of likely voters right now back on harris, 45% trump the race, razor thin those still in wisconsin, just one point separating the two candidates. these three states are the exact same three that harris is targeting this week. she was just in pennsylvania tomorrow michigan friday, wisconsin. today, a major move by the fed that frankly could end up having implications of helping harris, the central bank cutting interest rates by half a point double what had been anticipated. and this is why that could be really important, right? interest rates go down, that has impacts for everyone but after the fed cuts rates on average, all the way back to 1974, the markets go up. markets have gone up by more than 5% after three months on average since 1974, 10% after six months and 11% after a year. and that may be why trump is crying foul
4:03 pm
shows the economy grew by that much so i mean, they're not just playing politics economy would be very bad, or they're playing politics one or the other. >> but there was a big gut well, do you know where trump was standing when he said that he happened to be inside a bar in new york city. >> so let me just go back to those swing state polls, including the one that i led the show with pennsylvania that has him losing by franklin playing overwhelming margin. a state that if harris wins and is really, really hard for her to lose the election, maybe you'd think trump would be in pennsylvania or another one of those swing states. but he was there in new york city. and as i speak, he's about to hold a rally in uniondale, new york now that area is a republican stronghold but of course that's just one area. the campaign says it's given out 60,000 tickets, right. so you can have a successful rally there, but here's the thing. trump lost new york by 20 percentage points in 2020201620. so he's you being delusional when he says this i
4:04 pm
love new york, i always love new york and we're going to give new york convict play and i leave here i mean, you see the crowds and it's so friendly. >> i love new york. i think we have a real chance of winning look at 20 point spread, maybe when biden was at the ticket that was actually they were starting to be some serious conversation. >> there really hasn't been any of that sense, but that may be why democrats were all too eager to welcome trump to new york state party chair tonight saying quote, i'd love to have him here because anytime he's a nassau county, he's not a pennsylvania, he's done it wisconsin and michigan. he's not an arizona nevada, georgia, north carolina, so we can stay here i think it's a real good use of his time. alayna treene is at the rally in uniondale where trump is going to appear in a few moments. so alayna why is trump in new york all of the questions that you are asking is exactly what i'm hearing, not just from democrats and others, but republicans as well. >> a lot of people are questioning getting why donald trump would just 48 days until
4:05 pm
election day is spending time in a state where his campaign recognises that this is not a battleground now, for trump's part he argues and insists continuous like that. he thinks he could win in new york. but in my conversations with donald trump's team, as well as his allies, they recognise that this is not so, a strategic move coming here today instead, they told me that a lot of this, what's behind this visit is steeped in nostalgia. donald trump grew up in new york. he loved obs new york and he's always wanted to hold a large rally in a big arena in new york city or in new york itself, particularly ever since he went to the bronx and didn't know event there in may and thousands of people came out to support him. now, oxley, remind you, erin, that a couple of months ago donald trump's team actually talked about trying to do something at madison square garden but it of course, the logistics of that, the size of madison square garden just wasn't feasible. so this is kind of how they're settling here. but at the same time, you know, look, they recognise they argue that this is close to a lot of media markets that it will get
4:06 pm
played. in battleground states that this is a town where there's a lot of blue collar union workers, small business business owner, so they're really going to be targeting trump with that and talking about the economy tonight and immigration if donald trump can stay on message, erin. >> all right, what we'll see what happens, obviously, a big rally in nassau county, alayna, thank you very much. all right. i'm joined by my panel, so let's go first to the former governor tim pawlenty and governor you've got harris ahead of trump in these new swing-state polls. and the pennsylvania numbers, obviously, i just kind of hit a pause there. obviously it's one poll, but they do sort of stop you in your tracks. a governor because, you know, if she wins pennsylvania she's gotten most cases has to win it too when she has some other paths. but if she does, when it is really hard for her to lose, are you worried, governor about polls like these? >> well, it does begin to show trend that she's opened up a lead in this race. don't keep in mind trump traditionally under polls, most professionals would say by 123 or 4%. so
4:07 pm
that's still puts him within the margin of error, but i think it's fair to say she has a lead and going into this, he had an advantage on the issues that swing state voters care most about and swing voters in those state care most about namely the economy, but really inflation and also illegal immigration. and he's been unable to fully focus well and effectively on those issues and he gets distracted by a lot of other stuff former congressman rose that those polls and i know, you know, people can cherry-pick polls wherever they want, but the governor is accurate, right? >> there has ben a trend and you're seeing it now, you're seeing it in swing polls. you're seeing it in more national polls. do you think she really has opened up a why a wider margin here absolutely. >> look, it's not just about the actual margin in this one poll when it comes to polls, particularly at this scale, you have to look at the trend and the momentum is under deny ugly on the vice president's side. and the only assumption that one could make is that momentum will continue to the next poll. you see a potentially even wider margin, but the governor
4:08 pm
also made a critical point there, which is in the past president trump has kind of under poll, there has been this silent trump voters that you can't even model. i would argue that this time around, that's going to be the case for the vice president with her significant momentum and messaging to gen z voters really young voters who aren't getting really young, they're not getting pulled or not being done, not the models they've never voted before. we could see the margin even larger. >> and that well, that would be quiet something because that would be obviously the us the way the us voter world is divided. that would be a huge victory within the poll's, the governor does point out immigration and the economy, right? and trump is ahead on those issues, even in these polls the economy voters say is the most important issue. harris is still trailing, trailing trump on that. the rate cut mean i just was putting market performance after rate cut on average. know, you can delve into that in different ways. and trump is correct when he says when you do a rate cut double of what is expected, sometimes that indicates economic weakness
4:09 pm
that could also be true. but this rate cut really might matter yeah, it might matter. and i just want to note these numbers. i mean, let's think about what a kamala harris was where biden was when we started all this and the race is really narrowed on these key issues. we're talking about. the economy. she's only a few points behind immigration. i would argue her weakest issue, only a few points behind this does show that her messaging, her outreach is actually worked. and so i think first of all, they've got to be cheering this. i know it's only one poll, but this is going in the right direction. it's good news for them on the issue of the rape cuts. also good news. i mean, that is why donald trump is alleging that this is politically motivated. of course, there is no evidence of that. the fed has been very, very careful to the message the whole time that the only thing that they're looking at is the data and they're not looking at the politics of this, but of
4:10 pm
course, the politics matter. and this is something everyone's been waiting for, and it's going to have a big effect max. it comes on the day that the teamsters union says it's not going to endorse anyone, which is significant is the first time that the teamsters union has not endorsed a democrat since 1988. >> okay. ancient history and their internal data show members backing trump over harris 60 to 34% that's trump over harris when it was biden and trump, biden was winning i mean, that talk about a swing. sure. that is that is unbelievable. that makes all the rest of this looked like absolutely nothing chump change what, what do you see there? well certainly for all the talk that we have, the euphoria around the harris campaign. this does represent an area of potential improvement down the road, an area that she definitely needs to focus on but this also speaks to something much larger than this election, which is politics in the age of trump, where you have literally the teamsters union coming out, not against but refusing to endorse the
4:11 pm
party that saved their pension in the american rescue plan and refusing to oppose the party that opposed supporting their pension by voting against that very same bill. and a clash of economics and culture. and it's exactly what the democratic party needs to focus. >> governor pawlenty, when you look at this and teamsters because union i mean, the biden was winning over trump and now it's harris. trump is winning over harris 60 to 30, 30, 34%. i mean, governor is this about race and gender? what is this about when you look at a swing, that huge well, my dad as a truck driver was a teamster. i've been a former union member myself. and for a lot of years now you can see the separation between these unions as organisations and the rank and file people who are the members of those unions and trump for all of his other challenges has been successful in some political jujitsu in attracting labour the rank and file labourers to his campaign and in exchange, the democrats have picked up folks who are
4:12 pm
more highly educated, more woke or whatever. but if you talk to the rank and file people who are driving around in fans and trucks with ladders and doing the work of hard labour in this country. and you talk to them individually they are very sceptical of a leftward lurch in the country, one of them told me not too long ago after being working on his hands and knees his whole life with arthritic hands. he said you know, i was in the military. i've worked my can off my whole life and i'm not voting democrat this time as a lifelong a democrat this time because they think i'm privileged just because of the colour of my skin that's one little glimpse into how the democrats lost rank and file labour i would disagree with that. i mean, nine out of ten unions of the major unions in this country have endorsed kamala harris, the teamsters, i think stands apart from many reasons, it is a more conservative leaning union. and in particular, trump has been successful with men and, you know, not all members of union
4:13 pm
or men. if you think about in nevada the union there, the culinary workers union and others. i mean, there is this idea that labourers working with your hands, that's a very traditional idea of what labour is in this country. but there are many service workers and others in this country then don't see things the same way. >> all right. well, thank you all very much. i appreciate it and appreciate the conversation. next, we were just talking about the teamsters, tim walz is kamala harris is secret weapon with one key group of voters who are they were going to delve into this in the latest of our voters outfront series. plus israel declaring a new era of war two-way race he owes exploding today after thousands and thousands of pagers blew up in people's hands and pockets yesterday. how exactly did they do it? we do have some new details coming into night for you so the legendary journalist, connie chung like you've never seen her before we're going to talk about it for career role models, being fired from her job but as dan

4:19 pm
comes as harris is turning to tim walz to help cut into a crucial source of donald trump's support. >> men. and jeff zeleny is in north carolina for tonight's voters outfront glass ceiling aren't enough. we need to make sure that that glass ceiling is shattered and kamala harris, stepson tim walz is hard at work on one of his most important assignments. >> you thought kamala harris can take care of herself? our job is to do the blocking and tackling and cover her back. >> he and his running mate rarely discussed gender, yet to gender gap may help decide the election. strong support from women has put kamala harris within reach of defeating donald trump to go, her campaign is racing to win over another critical set of voters, men. >> it'll be phenomenal to have the first female president. >> and that's exciting also, donald trump is strong

4:22 pm
the gender gap or the balance of who men and women support in this election, gender itself is far less apart the discussion, calm layers isn't talking about the historic nature of this. she just put your nose down and does the work and jeff zeleny with me now. >> so jeff, what more are you learning about the campaign strategies to target men? because obviously when you look at these polls right now, i mean this is this is a crucial group that women are the lifeblood of the harris campaign and candidacy, but it is men who could put but her over the top. >> that is why the trump campaign is also aggressively going after untold, almost exclusively men in terms of persuasion, in terms of trying to win over for some voters who may not have been paying attention to the race and young voters, young men are at the centre of both campaigns strategies. there is no question about that. so look for over the next seven weeks or so, some unconventional strategies in terms of

advertising and reaching out to some of these young men. but erin, of course, women are key for turning out and a certainly a senior voters always come out to vote. the younger voters, not so much, but there is no doubt that women are powering this election, but men actually could be decisive. >> aaron. all right. jeff zeleny. thank you very much. in north carolina now he's swing state and next new bomb threats in springfield, ohio tonight, even the editor of the haitian times, who doesn't live anywhere near springfield is being targeted she joins me here next to tell me exactly what happened when her doorbell unexpectedly rang plus thousands of two-way radios. now, exploding one day after thousands of beepers blew up. and tonight how taiwan is now part of the mystery of how those exclude explosive. i'm sorry, beepers ended up lebanon anderson cooper, 360 tonight at 8:00 on cnn if you have

beginning exclusively on max bomb threats in springfield, ohio, the town at the centre of false claims that haitian migrants are eating people's pets this time targeting several grocery stores and a planned parenthood according our affiliate who said he schools also under high security, dozens of bomb threats have been pouring in since donald trump and j.d. vance began spreading the conspiracy theory but now we are learning something very specific and important, which is that j.d. vance knew that these claims were false before the debate. the springfield city manager telling the wall street journal that he talked to someone from jd vance's staff saying, quote it, talking about this conversation, he the guy from jd vance's staff who called them, he asked point blank are the reverse true of pets being taken in eaton city manager applies. i told him no,
4:29 pm
i told him these claims were baseless but still, this viral tweet even now remains on vance's twitter page. >> quote, reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country. >> and i remember what i said at a timeline here that j.d. vance is staff called on the day of the debate to find out whether this is true still, we do know that donald trump went onto the debate stage after that phone call happened and said this in springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats. they're eating they're eating the pets of the people that live there now this false story is now putting lives in danger even outside of ohio, and editor of the haitian times has become the most recent target because of her coverage of what's happening in springfield macollvie neel is outfront now and mckelvey. thank you very much as i said, i'm sorry to be meeting you under these circumstances to
4:30 pm
even be talking about this hour. reliable sources first reported your story so two days ago, you're at home and your doorbell rings. you go and you answer your door, you're thinking maybe this is a delivery of some sort and what happens when you open the door and thank you so much for having me and keeping a spotlight on this issue. so to go back to monday morning, i'm starting my day and i hila. door bill weir, a couple of times. i'm thinking, oh, it's a delivery i have to go pick up a package. i opened the door by then. i see police had surrounded my house on both sides. there were cruisers outside and when i asked why they were there, they were asking me, who am i what am i doing in my own home? and proceeded to tell me that they were looking for that received a call of someone that someone had had their throats slit in side my address and so they were looking for the potential
4:31 pm
perpetrator. and so that was the basis of what they called a wellness check. >> so a swatting incident that someone exactly exactly. >> meaning that someone had gone to the trouble of doing what's called doxing, finding my documents and sharing it somewhere and that precipitated the call to the police to come and scare me, intimidate me because of the stories we had been doing in the haitian times and a community conversation we had had in springfield, ohio just on saturday of course, you're the editor of the haitian times. you were born in haiti, are naturalised american citizen you had you been really scared in that moment though mckelvey yes. >> i was alarmed, but i kind of knew i had a premonition because we had been getting emails and and just really vile racists threads, emails and threats and messages on our stories and our comments. and so we tried to stay focused. this is a story that we have
4:32 pm
been following now for at least three years, ever since we had a group of patients begins to arrive after the president's assassination. through all of the different tps extensions that took place because of certain disasters that have been in haiti. we knew that these these folks are brothers and sisters, would end up somewhere in america. that wasn't necessarily going to be in new york city or miami, or boston, which are traditional enclaves. and so we committed to just following haitians across the heartland over the past year-and-a-half, almost two years or so. and we had heard these incidents of bullying intimidation all of these stuff. we have been covering it. i just didn't expect it to come and follow me home. >> so j.d. vance you know, we just laid it out. how they j.d. vance and trump have been saying this and jd vance's office called and was told it was untrue on the day of the debate. he continues to say it. trump said it at the debate
4:33 pm
here's how j.d vance defended himself when our dana bash asked him a question about it the american media totally ignored this stuff until donald trump and i start talking about cat memes. if i have to, if i have to create stories. so that the american media actually pays attention to the suffering of the american people. then that's what i'm going to do. >> if i have to create it's worth it is what he's saying. >> here's what he is one of those me the fact that he says if i have to create stories too with defending american people is telling me that he doesn't see haitians as people or as american people, whatever that means. >> the fact of the matter is that americans are immigrants every single person in this country came from somewhere else. and so as much as the right-wing republicans, that entire machinery might try to deny it or reject it, or try to
4:34 pm
say, we have a specific person that's considered american it's not going to stand because that is not the history of the country. they can deal an alternative facts. all they want. but the fact is americans built, immigrants, built this country and we continue to build this country. my family helped build this country when we came here 35 years ago, i've seen it happen in brooklyn in new jersey all up and down the east coast. and now it's happening in the midwest because that's where the need is. that's where we have the jobs, you know, to fulfil. and so they can try to deny it, but this is the fact and i really hope that americans who are good people who are sensible people like many of the flux in springfield continue to engage with the new commerce in the ways that we've always engaged without all this extremism going into their heart, right? >> when mcafee thank you very much. i appreciate your taking the time. like i said, sorry to meet you under these circumstances. but thank you for doing that next.

4:50 pm
simpson with the famous bronco on cnn. the cameras are chasing you and an anchor literally tracks your moves. you, connie chung, let me play the moment we found i think i know what as we continue here, you're looking at a live shot of a ranch outside modesto, california where the interview with congressman continent and abc's connie chung is taking place alright, so that they're not racking you is amazing. this is gary condit. i mean, that was the gut he speaking out about. it was a fair with the intern chandra levy, who went missing eventually is found dead. and this was a huge moment for you. i want to play one of the most important moments that interview can you describe your relationship? what exactly was your relationship with chandra levy? >> well, i'm mad chandra last october and we became very close i met her in washington, dc very close, meaning we had a close relationship. i liked her very much ask you, was it a sexual relationship? well,
4:51 pm
county i've been married for the 34 years and i've not been a perfect man how important was that? >> that interview in that moment in your career well, it was it was a it was a period in which i had been at abc news and frankly, i wasn't allowed to go after big gaetz because there were two women happened to be women, strong women but yeah and they were battling each other for the big interviews and i had to stand down this one was a big one but i was told that if any interview went to gary condit, it would be barbara. >> and so i said, okay and then when i called continents lawyer and said i take me off the list, i'm i was a good good girl where it came to barbara
4:52 pm
because i think she created a niche in her career that i should not touch it she earned her diva i'm she she could push me off the plank and i'd be fine so but the lawyer said, if you don't do the interview for abc i'm gonna give it to somebody else. so he marched up to the president of abc news and said, near nobody. and he went, okay. >> and you got it. now. all right. so barbara walters, i just want to ask you about her because you write about her and of course, as a journalist and watching all of this as i was growing up i was eating that part up. but you write about always quote unquote, being under her, those were the words that you use. you're talking about it here. how did that affect you it was okay with me because i really believe that she paid the path paves the driveway for all of us. >> and i respected her tremendously i did not want to
4:53 pm
try to take her off her thrown. if he didn't if he wanted to do something i was okay. i for the millennial coverage. i was supposed to. i was assigned to go to paris and i was like, wow, rocket paradox harris. the eiffel tower and my whole family maria and my daughters and son we were all going and their husbands and their children and then a vice person, it came down to see means fed connie barbara wants to go to paris. and i said, so where my glory, if he said las vegas all k, there's a mini eiffel tower in las vegas solve for that yeah. but incredible have grace's you could be that you could see that as something that was not something that you resent it she also didn't have a lot of things in her life as she talked about later that she would have liked to have had
4:54 pm
and she made those sacrifices. and, you talk about that in your own life. you know that you almost didn't have a child because i forgot to get married, then i forgot to have a baby. and you did it right? you know, i don't know how you did it but you had babies and you had a career how you do that before i had the either or husband or children at his show was launching. i was engaged. and you came to the launch party, you and mari? >> sure. >> you came. and i remember that moment county, i think about it often because when you wrote about your decision to get married, your struggles to have a child when you finally made that decision and you wrote a more he has been my foundation it's a port being my partner at my love in every way. and i actually loved this part i love more with all my heart, but sometimes, you know, i don't necessarily like him but i do remember that launch party and that was the part of
4:55 pm
you that sit out the most to me that i said, i want that wasn't just that i admired you, of course. but it was, you know, you want the whole thing. >> yes. >> what is the most important achievement? in your life so far i have to say it's my son. he's a good guy. >> yes. matthew. it happened a certain degree. it was certainly pretty i was dumped from the cbs evening news and i felt like my life was left on the desk, you know, i had to walk away they offered me as something else, but i i had to figure out whether or not i wanted to stay and two days after i was stumped we got the call that our adoption was going to go through and i was and my sister are the cliche one door closes, another door opens. she was so right he was
4:56 pm
in my arms when he was less than a day old like 16, 18 months. and, you know, he became a part of my arm forever. what so when you talk talk about the firing from cbs and what that meant, but that opened up the greatest thing in your life. >> its is at the moment it didn't feel that way no. >> you were sitting there with dan rather for two years daily tension so that it all came to a head in oklahoma city? >> yeah. when you went to cover, you were the first one there, 168 people were killed in that horrific attack then you were fired? >> yep. soon after that, you write my very chinese reaction was to feel i had lost face. >> yes. all the joy of reaching my ultimate goal has evaporated in one incident and in that moment, i also recognise that my entire life had been wrapped up in my war work and how much it was a part of me now, obviously then you opened up the greatest thing in your life. but at that moment, it was clear to you that it was about your. race your gender how did it change you when you were confronted with that,
4:57 pm
right in the face you think it was i mean, it's hard for me to >> it, up and. say it was because i was a woman or because i was chinese. i think i think the truth of the matter is is that if if dan rather he had own that seat, he had been in her car seat by himself for that long, and he had to move over a few inches to give me half of the chair and well, that would be hard regardless of who you exact, yes. i mean, you know, to that point about gender i think it would be unfair to say that's all it was. exactly. i think that if i were a man or a plant, he still would have not wanted that thing. there to share your family history is riveting. i said your book is its history.
