9:01 pm
send you a freedom >> pre-booked to answer questions you may have call now and we'll come to you 800 a31, 3,700 tonight on 360 new polls from battleground states have some good news for kamala harris, but bad news is the teamsters declined to endorse her or any candidate for president also, another giant by a trump surrogate had harris for not having biological children. what trump is saying about sarah huckabee sanders remarks at a town hall and a day after hundreds of hezbollah pagers exploded with devastating consequences across lebanon now, it's walkie talkies being targeted as well. and the death toll is rising good evening. thanks very much for joining us. take a look. the live feed from uniondale on new york's long island, where the former president is holding his first rally since sunday's apparent attempt on his life now, new york is not expected to be in play this election, despite trump's recent claims that it could be the former president moments ago, blasted the harris campaign for saying he's a threat to democracy see you, and then immediately said
9:02 pm
that she is a threat to democracy it's time to stop the lives, stopped the hoaxes, stop the smears, stop the law lawfare of the fake lawsuits against me. >> i'd stop claiming your opponents will turn america into a dictatorship. give me a break i'm not a threat to democracy. >> they are well vice president harris mean tom spoke to the congressional hispanic caucus institute's leadership conference in washington. she called for immigration reform and border security, saying it's possible to do both and put the spotlight on the former president has promised to carry out mass deportations if elected. >> we all remember what they did tear families apart and now they have pledged to carry out the largest deportation a mass deportation in american history. imagine what that would look like and what that
9:03 pm
would be how's that going to happen? massive raids massive detention camps? what are they talking about well, today also saw a new post-debate polling from three so-called blue wall states, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin, conducted by quinnipiac university, shows the vice president leading outside the margin of error in the first two and up a point in wisconsin, meaning no clear leader there. >> more from cnn's harry enten on this shortly today also saw the federal reserve's first interest rate cut in four years, half a percentage point fed chairman jerome powell, a trump appointee defending the magnitude of it saying, quote, the upside risks to inflation have diminished and the downside risk to unemployment have increased the former president sees that otherwise i guess it shows the economy grew by that much. >> assuming they're not just playing politics the economy would be very bad, or they're playing politics. one of the other but there was a big gut
9:04 pm
mr. trump also applauded the teamsters decision today not to endorse either him or the vice president. he called it a great honor for union leadership, not to endorse a democrat. former president also ramped up pressure on republicans to shut down the government unless lawmakers can pass a spending bill contains language targeting non-citizen voting that bill failed today is expected, bringing a shutdown closer, something that senate's top republican minority leader, mitch mcconnell yesterday called. and i quote, politically beyond stupid, because as he put it, we, meaning republicans would get the blame. once again tonight. a lot to get to cnn's alayna treene starts us off from the trump van. so what else is the former president have to say tonight understand he has been walking through a lot and i apologize. >> it's very loud behind me. there's a massive crowd here tonight. >> but one thing i want to bring up just immediately that i found very notable is he repeated some of his false claims about springfield, ohio. >> he also vowed he to visit
9:05 pm
springfield as well as aurora in the coming weeks. now, this is well, because of course, we've been talking about springfield repeatedly on this program and how donald trump and jd vance's baseless claims about haitian migrants eating pets is affecting negatively that community in ohio. but donald trump continued to say that this is a huge problem. you could hear rally goers in the audience screaming save the pac, save the catch. and he said that he plans to visit there. he also said that he wants to go to aurora, colorado is a place where donald trump has repeatedly claimed that venezuelan gangs are taking over, even though there's people on the ground who have argued law enforcement, for example, that have said he is grossly exaggerating that part of this, but this is all again part of donald will trump's larger summarization. i think this is important to note anderson about migrants. he is saying that the migrants in springfield are there illegally. we know that's not true. they have given temporary protective status. he's saying that they are committing
9:06 pm
violent crimes. again, without evidence. and now he's saying he wants to go there himself, so stay tuned on that when i talk to donald trump's advisers about this, they say, as of now there is no specific plans but that donald trump shows this desire to go a couple other things. i just want to point out. one is that he went into detail at the very start of his remarks tonight about that apparent second assassination attempt on sunday. and at one moment, he said that he believes god odd spared him and that the reason for that is that so he could save states like new york as well, the country overall, remember this is language that we heard him use in the aftermath of the first assassination attempt in butler. however, he also then went immediately into attacking democrats in specifically kamala harris said saying that day, are to blame for what has happened. so a lot of his harshest rhetoric here and uniondale tonight, anderson, when a treene thanks very much joining us now is journalist and co-founder of lift our voices. gretchen carlson, also cnn's eva mckend, cnn senior data reporter harry enten, and
9:07 pm
republican strategist, brad todd first of all, let's talk about the polling yeah. i mean, look, i think if you're a kamala harris supporter, you have to be quite happy with these new polls that came out. i'd argue it's one of her best pulling days the campaign so far on a personal note, when you get three important pulse from three swing states, it's almost like a christmas day for someone like myself and when you look at these numbers, what do you say? i mean first off, obviously in wisconsin, you have a race that's way too close to call at this point, would no clear leader, just a point, but michigan and pennsylvania, pennsylvania, the big enchilada we spoke about it last friday, the fact that you're seeing five-point advantages for kamala harris in michigan and in pennsylvania, which has arguably the most important state in this entire for election. there's just no other word than saying that these polls are good for the vice president what happens when you dig into specific issues? yeah, you know, one of the ways you can kind of tell that these polls are good news for kamala harris has actually to look at the questions that
9:08 pm
ask about what are normally donald trump's strengths, right? you talk about immigration, you talk about the economy i mean, who do you trust more on those issues? well, when you average across the three states, you see that more voters trust donald trump than trust kamala harris. but look at the margins. the margins are incredibly small. we're talking about just three points on the economy, just four points and immigration donald trump should be running away on these issues. and the fact that kamala harris's keeping it staying in the ballgame on here it says everything. the bottom line is, these polls tonight are good news for the vice president. >> gretchen. i mean, do you buy polls like this at this stage a question, given that traditionally, i mean, donald trump has underperformed in, in many polls. >> yeah. i mean, look, in 2016, he underperformed in the polls. again in 2020 i don't put much trust in the polls. i mean, i think kamala harris has to be above by 6810 points because there are so many people who are not going to admit in polling that they're voting for donald trump. another really important thing though, about this polling is that she's way ahead, obviously on abortion and all of these swing states
9:09 pm
that were pulled. so in my mind, abortion abortion, abortion, abortion to try and get the independents and the suburban moms. at the same time. i also think she needs to give more details about her stance on immigration and the economy. i know her aides right now are saying no because that's too much of a risk to go out there and actually do something that might be a flip-flop or that she might have said something different for. >> but we saw after the debate that she went up in the polls, people thought she won that handily because she gave some details about how she felt about certain issues i think she needs to give more details succinctly in interviews, you've got i mean, you've traveled with harris you've seen in these states what do you think is resonating? what do you think is not? >> well, i think the reason why she is doing relatively well and they would argue that there still the underdog. they're still running scared. is because she's campaigning like a standard democrat. there's no big surprise about how a future
9:10 pm
potentially president harris would govern. like she can champions most issues that would expand the social safety net g talks about immigrants in a compassionate way, but also emphasizes a strong border. we know what we're getting with vice president harris, and i think that people underestimate how much voters really craves stability in the last election, we saw independent voters put off by the former president based on the chaotic response to the pandemic. and that is why they flocked to president biden. you're seeing a little bit of this here on the campaign trail, sort of voters embrace, i think a sense of normalcy and a contrast with the former a president talking about people eating animals bred. >> i mean, what do you make of these latest polling well, kamala harris is having a good week increasing her favorability. >> i would not look at this polling to be very indicative, though this is polls with done by quinnipiac, which i do this professionally and quinnipiac
9:11 pm
has perhaps the worst reputation of any national pollster. and in 2020, they said donald trump was going to lose by 11 the night before the election in ohio, they said he had 39% the night before the election, he got 53. so i would take this quinnipiac batch of polling with more than a grain of salt. i look back a little bit further back a week or so ago to cnn's polling which shows donald trump at a little bit better better position. but kamala harris has done better, improving her image ballot is not followed yet you know, one thing go look ahead. data nerd. thank you very, very much. you know, the bottom line is, i wouldn't go on your program and put up polls that i didn't think were indicative of at least a larger trend in this race, right? you talk about pollsters who have a good record how about an cells are in the state of iowa nailed that race? i remember the first time appeared with you on air was back in 2020. i said this pole is big trouble for joe biden because it shows that he's basically doing about the same as hillary clinton in iowa. guess what that poll showed this past week and it showed kamala harris only down four points in a state that joe biden lost by eight points a
9:12 pm
tremendous improvement. you talk about in other paul, how about unh, their final poll of 2020 had a race that essentially match the final result perfectly. guess what that poll showed this evening in the state of new hampshire. it showed that kamala harris was up by 11 points at another improvement of three to four points over joe biden stands with the quinnipiac poll. you think i i would just say this. >> i'm not going to say that quinnipiac is right on the body. but what i will say is at this particular point, i know that the polls that i've been looking at this as not the first poll out this week from the state of pennsylvania that showed that kamala harris is doing particularly well. and i can guarantee you it will not be the last but i would just add pennsylvania though anderson there's another poll out today from grips. >> it shows to what kamala harris was just saying about immigration and what trump was saying that a majority of americans, a majority support mass deportations, but they don't like, i think that the question is bad. like, do you support a result of wreaking havoc on the economy? do you
9:13 pm
support law enforcement? been going door to door and ripping people out of homes, like if you ask the question to people in that way, i don't think the response would be the same. i'm just saying that i think that some of trump's talk about people eating animals in springfield rubs off when you get answers like this. i mean, there's certainly a reason why they're using that language there. i mean, they clearly feel that there's a benefit for it, whether it's awful, are not, or whether it's true or not. certainly there's no evidence of it brad, i'm wondering what you think about the teamsters declining to endorse either candidate well, there's a realignment underway in american politics right now. the republican party is becoming the party of work in the working class and democratic parties become sort of the champagne party, people with a lot of, with a lot of education, lot higher, higher education degrees, and a lot of wealth. and i think that this teamsters endorsement will not be the last shift you see an organized labor maybe not maybe not be the only big one in this election, but certainly not in the near term.
9:14 pm
>> i just want to say there's some disagreement among members. i was speaking to the chair of the black caucus within the teamsters. he's very disappointed by this. the black caucus endorsed vice president harris several weeks ago, and he argues that sean o'brien is not showing leadership right now and he essentially caved to a bully. those are the words of the chair of the black caucus. there are going to be the teamsters that organized on her behalf, even though sean o'brien, there had been posed within the teamsters among rank and file that showed trump the majority of by the wind pennsylvania, a really important state for the teamsters. >> there's 95,000 teamsters in pennsylvania. so i think that this endorsement was a big hit to there's definitely a gap, but short of a cultural connection and the actual policies because democrats i've been foreign ahead in support of union policies, but yes, we do see a kinship there with some rank and file union
9:15 pm
workers with republican brad. >> go ahead. >> well, i understand what take a little issue with that. democrats and kamala harris have been against fracking. they've been against things like the keystone pipeline. they've been for things that drove the price of energy of those things really matter to people in labor unions, teamsters depend on the cheap price of diesel fuel. and this non endorsement is not a one-off. if you look at the missouri senate race the teamsters doris josh hawley in that race republican incumbent senator, there is a change underway in america's labor unions and america's, especially the trade unions. the government unions still side with the democrats asked me and teachers unions still side of the democrats. but the trade unions, the real working class in america, if there's a shift in israel. >> harry, what would happen? the electoral map if these latest polls, yeah, let's just say that these latest polls are right on in the averages that this particular point that jews do show kamala harris up in wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania are correct that would get her to 270 electoral votes, even if she loses in the
9:16 pm
sun battleground, states of arizona, nevada, georgia in north carolina. so again, these polls are good news. we'll obviously wait to see if there are more particular post. i can tell you. it keeps me awake at night. it is one of the few things that keep me awake at night that will see an error like we saw in 2016 and 2020. so to brad's point, to gretchen's point of whether or not we trust the polls for now. i trust him, but the bottom line is the voters, my friend have the ultimate say no, that's for sure. harry enten. thank you. we're going to take a break of the panel back. another republican question with the vice president for not having biological children this time while hosting a trump town hall with the former president has to say when asked about it today, and litter arizona center mark kelly joins us, is wife, gabby giffords obviously survived an attempt on her life. his thoughts now in the wake of a deadly shooting and thwarted shooting involving candidate trump and trump's allegations of democratic rhetoric played a role i voted buttons that dragging

9:21 pm
do.com rahel solomon in new york. and the former president's rally tonight, he was asked about something arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders said while introducing him at his town hall last night, here's what she said. so my kids keep me harris doesn't have anything keeping her humble think after four years of straight failure she would know a little humility unfortunately, she doesn't she said that about a minute and a half before trump walked on stage. here's a question about it today, and the entered that trump gave the governor sanders
9:22 pm
yesterday had a dig about harris not having biological children. she is stepmother but doesn't have do you think that's something she should be attacked for? >> well, i just don't know thank you oh, whether he heard that part of the introduction or not, it's hard to imagine he hasn't heard about it since given the coverage that's been getting in any event, governor sanders remark is of a piece mostly with things running mate j.d vance has said over the years and continues to defend we're effectively run in this country via the democrats be via our corporate oligarch's by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives. and the choices that they've made that's from 2021. he's expressed similar sentiments before and since here he is in july i was talking about people who have turned anti-child into the ethic of their entire party. >> democrats don't want to own up to the fact that their party has become very anti-family well, just moments ago, the first gentleman, doug emhoff spoke, spoke out about governor
9:23 pm
sanders remarks and i'm quoting him now. they said that somehow because cole and ella aren't kamala's quote, unquote biological children, that she doesn't have anything in her life to keep her humble as if keeping women humble, whether you have children not is something we should strive for. back now with the panel joining us former republican congressman adam kinzinger, who's now supporting vice president harris, gretchen, i mean, when you hear this, again, bringing up this idea of childless people, and also just the idea that she should be humbled well, actually, i would give the humble award to people who raised stepchildren because that's probably more difficult than in some cases. >> then if you actually have your own biological children. but another point that i was thinking about earlier today is toxic the city starts at the top and it, and it dwindles down and i would know something about this having worked for roger ailes at fox news, right? toxicity eventually becomes normalized when it comes from the top, you have donald trump saying all of these similar things, right? so it's no
9:24 pm
surprise that his spokespeople would eventually say the same thing. they've watched him have absolutely no repercussions for saying crazy things and now they say the same thing in a deeper level i believe that the strategy of the trump campaign right now is to go full red meat to the maga base. and this is what they want to hear because that will be turnout there are very few undecideds left right now, and they would have to be watching every news cycle to hear things like this and be offended by it. so i think the strategy right now is full court press sale. the offensive things. there have been no repercussions. get out. the maga base turnout will decide this election. >> grocery kinzinger, do you believe that that is strategy because i mean, again, we've hearing more now, we continue to hear more about springfield, ohio. they're still talking about cats and dogs first, it's just awesome to be on with gretchen. >> let me just say that it's great but let's say, look, the thank, you. >> i missed you. but look, i
9:25 pm
think it's absolutely about that it's about division you know, look, we learned in politics basically from the day i got in there and we kept learning this lesson every day, which is if you make people fearful or you make them angry, you can drive them to action. you can raise money from fearful and angry people because you can convince them. as an example, nancy pelosi is going to kill your family we will you will part with any dollar that you have. if you're convinced if i convince you that, i'm the only thing standing in between that action in that horrible outcome. and so that's what they're doing. it's this constant division. when you're terminally online, like evidently jd vance is because he's now quote tweeting people personally in the middle of a campaign you, this algorithm and i hate that word, but that all that does is shove it you, this kind of angry right-wing stuff when you're on twitter. and that's what he's that's what he's bathing in. and so to him, that's what his people want to hear. and they have no interest in uniting the country in
9:26 pm
leading i'm inspiring. it's all about winning in power and we know that about donald trump, that's no surprise, even i mean, you're on the ground speaking to voters all the time as you travel around with candidates. does this resonate even so i'm surprised at any campaign would even flirt with this idea of assigning a woman's value to whether or not she has children just because you here all the time from campaigns that they're trying to get every available voter and trying to bring as many voters as possible into their coalition. >> so it's surprises me that they're doubling down on this strategy i can tell you that this is deeply galvanizing for women. i was at that rally in eau claire, wisconsin shortly after a governor walz was named as vice president harris' running mate. there's child countless lady phenomenon, which just a few days old. and you saw women in hats and shirts, a child, countless lady who votes. and it's everywhere. so you don't want to give the other side right? something to rally around. and that is essentially but what
9:27 pm
they have done in this case bred, i mean, what do you think the message that governor sanders is trying to send to voters interesting, i thought the most endearing moment at the chicago convention was when doug emhoff talked about the vice president and the other ways away, their family works. >> i thought it's the most authentic thing i saw from that podium i similarly also thought that caught trump president trump's granddaughter did the best job of anybody at the republican convention. i didn't like it when whoopi goldberg attacked trump the next day and if sarah sanders meant to attacker for this, i don't like that either. i think she i think she was really just it was a transition that was poorly losing. she spent the next 300 words are the previous three towards talking about her own child's scarlett, and how her own child kind of keeps her in check. and i've heard her talk about her child many times like that in other speeches. and i think that's really what she was trying to do is have a revealing moment about herself often candidates families should be off-limits, but we do
9:28 pm
need to hear people talk about their own families and human nazism and lets us know how they are as a person offstage, i will say she redirect. i mean, whatever she did make comments about her own family, but then she chose to use it and redirected to directly to kamala harris and you, know and her family but i mean, congressman, if you were on down-ballot ticket this november and the prevailing lines from republican leaders kept coming back to disparaging women who don't have biological children would you be concerned oh, yeah, i would be running as fast away from donald trump in a general election as i could. >> this is a very damaging thing. i mean, you can try to try to justify this by saying it was an awkward tradition transition and, you know, okay? but she could always come out and apologize today, but nobody apologizes anymore because that's weakness. look, this is this is driving turnout on the left. this is going to drive
9:29 pm
turnout in the middle and this is going to drive turnout to some, even on the right, women that had just feel like we're done with this division against us, this look politicians have tried to divide people for a long time now, dividing men against women, or dividing women with children against women without children. i mean, look, it's not a recipe for success. and i think a lot of people know that, but they can't push back on donald trump and donald trump always doubles down when he makes a mistake because will never admits a mistake. thanks. we says it again and again so that people think that he meant to say it and we see that that's just a pattern that's existed since he's gone down the escalator, gretchen, i mean, we were talking about polls are starting i was just going to say really quickly though, there is a risk and democrats overplaying their hand on this. we know that most voters are concerned about the issues that matter to them racism and sexism are often a distraction. yes, you want to lean into this cultural moment a little bit because you see that the way that it is unifying your
9:30 pm
voters, but the same time they really have to stay on message and talking about the issues of concern to most americans. >> yeah. and the gender lines right now. oh, sorry, brad the gender for lines are so split right now. i don't think historically there's ever been an election or pre-election where the democrat candidate is so far ahead with women and, you know, maybe the trump campaign has just decided back to my earlier point that there's going to double down on the maga voter and it's going to be turnout in this election, whether its independence and suburban moms kamala harris or the maga group for donald trump, brad real quick she's right. >> there is a there is a gender division cnn poll in arizona. it was 14 points. donald trump led men by kamala harris, led women by three. but if you watch the rest of that town hall the questions we're all about prices, immigration, and taxes that's the way for donald trump to grow his vote with women's to talk about how prices under this administration are out of control. >> brad todd, thank you. occurrence from kinzinger. thank you. eva mckend and
9:31 pm

9:36 pm
now is arizona democratic senator mark kelly, whose wife, former congresswoman gabby giffords survived an assassination attempt in 2011 that badly wounded her in 12 other people and killed six. senator kelly. what is your perspective on this has political rhetoric gotten out of control in the run-up to the election? >> well, anderson, let me just start by saying, you didn't know family, individual should ever be subject to political violence. it's happened to tie too many times in our country's history and certainly my family, what happened to gabby over a decade ago. there's no place for that and, you know, we've got to consider what are, you know, the language we use and what it means and how it could incite people but what donald trump is doing is what he always does, right? he points the finger any places blame. in other places? >> i mean, literally tonight, we just played a clip of him at
9:37 pm
a rally in long island and saying, you know, don't don't call your opponent. say your opponent is going to end democracy. and then he immediately said she's going to destroy the country. >> well, it's interesting. i mean, it comes from a guy who, shortly after i got sworn in to the u.s. senate, assembled a mob in washington, dc, and then spoke to that mob and instructed them to capitol hill because he didn't like how the election turned out. so it's, quite, it's quite odd to hear those words come out of his mouth, but we've seen this before. we've seen this for over a decade. the way he uses language to divide the american people. and it's really uncalled for. and it's dangerous. so i would i would hope that going forward here, he rethinks how he's using this language to divide
