still go.com cnn this morning

with kasie hunt next thursday, september 19, right now on cnn this morning we must so reform our broken immigration system closing the gap, new polling shows kamala harris gaining ground on one of donald trump's key issues, immigration and this number one is the economy. one of the big issues right now is women's rights. >> immigration is a huge concern our battleground wisconsin some voters weigh in on what's most important to them this election is the badger state closer than some think and now we go back to the playbook. >> well draw up another play funding fight fresh off his defeat on the house floor. >> speaker johnson, going back to the drawing board with a divided republican party

right. >> 5:00 a.m. here in washington, alive. look at the capitol dome on this thursday morning. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. we are just 47 days from election day and we're getting some new polling from the states that will decide the election. and it shows how close the road to 270 really is in the latest quinnipiac poll, kamala harris now leads donald trump 51, 46 in a head-to-head matchup in both michigan and pennsylvania. this among likely voters the poll shows no clear leader in wisconsin, harris with a one-point edge there but let's take into the key issues when asked who would be better at handling immigration, trump is still leading there, but harris is gaining ground. quinnipiac's bolster says these results show quote three crucial swing states wave a red flag at the trump campaign the gop's most go-to attack

strategies against democrats on immigration and the economy may be losing momentum. likely voters now see little daylight in most cases between harris and trump on who can best handle those key issues now both candidates were talking about immigration on the trail yesterday. donald trump, once again, attacked haitian migrants it's in ohio, while kamala harris called out his mass deportation plan they have pledged to carry out the largest deportation a mass deportation in american history. imagine what that would look like and what that would be how's that going to happen? massive raids massive detention camps? what are they talking about? >> we're getting them out of our country. they came in illegally. destroying our country. we're getting about they're going to be brought back to the country from which

they came all right, we should note that the haitian migrants in ohio are here legally according to ohio's republican governor, joining us now to get us started this morning is laura davis and she has political editor at bloomberg news. >> laura, good morning. wonderful to have you so these let's let's start with a new quinnipiac polling. >> it shows honestly some results that i think once i have some more time to call my sources, i might hear a little bit differently from people who are really watching these race racist closely, especially in pennsylvania, if we could throw those numbers up at 51%, having harris over 50 and pennsylvania, i would be surprised if i had a source on the ground who thought the race was this far apart in pennsylvania, wisconsin, they're showing as a very, very tight that's interesting to me, i think a lot of the others, when i when i again talk to sources, they don't necessarily think it is that close in wisconsin. they think harris may have a bigger, a bigger edge there and there they are more worried about pennsylvania. what do you make? of these numbers and what they do tell us about the race with polling. it's really important to look at the breadth and we've gotten a bunch of

different polls quinnipiac, as well as others that have come out in recent days and what we're seeing is that nearly everything is within the margin of error or just outside the margin of error it's important to note that harris is really building or gaining on trump on the issues on immigration and then economy. the two issues we know that will probably decide this election. biden had a large deficit there and harris has been gaining multiple polls. polls have shown that. so that's sort of a sense that that is probably a strength for her. that's building yeah. >> it's it's it's it's very important to point that out because as we've talked about in this incredibly compressed time frame it's really been a battle of who can define harris, right? >> and republicans are trying to tie her to joe biden and his numbers on those kinds of issues, right linking her to his policies, while of course, she has tried to put some distance under the cheese actually put a ton of policy distance between herself and the president. but she's tried to do it in certain ways. ways it seems like maybe she's winning out on that push and pull. yeah. what she's been able to do is, you know, kind

of distance herself from the inflation and some of the negative aspects that people didn't like about biden's record and just focus on the stuff that she would do if she were elected, things like down-payment assistance she came out this week saying she wanted to limit childcare costs to just 7% of income, which would be a big decrease. these for people, i'm talking about, you know, expanded childcare or child tax credit. so these are things that are resonating when you look at new poll on some of these issues, you have 70% of people like them. so that's a broad swath of both democrats as well as republicans. >> we also saw yesterday a significant interest rate cut from the federal reserve half, half for point. there donald trump was out there talking a little bit about this let's listen to what he had to say yesterday i guess it shows the economy is very bad to cut it by that much assuming they're not just playing politics the economy we are very bad, or they're playing politics one or the other. >> but there was a big cut. >> so he's insinuating, of course the federal reserve is independent, but he's saying

that there's politics here. perhaps he's suggesting to help kamala harris, what do you make of his comments? >> so trump has been signaling for a long time that if the fed cuts interest rates, it's because jerome powell, the federal reserve chair, is trying to help him harris that is not true. powell has said multiple times that he this is not an election issue, but it does signal that a lot of the economic indicators are pointing that is now time to bring interest rates down that could have a side effect of potentially making people more optimistic than may economy. however, it's not likely to change the facts on the ground. these interest rate changes look, it's happening for point that takes a long time to ripple out throughout the economy. it's not the difference between, you know, suddenly decided that you're going to not be able to afford a house. and then today be able to afford a house, right? >> it's he's saying, well, could it could politically help harris, but on the flip side, it also could mean it could be an indicator. they waited too long to do this and we could be in for a bumpy ride here. >> laurie anderson. thank you so much for starting us off this morning. i really appreciate it. a lot, davidson, i'm sorry. sheets as anderson. all right. coming up here on cnn this morning for aggressors trying to metal in us

selections targeting donald trump ran hacked into my campaign. i don't know what the hell they found. i'd like to find that couldn't have been too exciting. >> but they gave he went to the biden case, ronnie and hackers sending stolen information to people associated with the biden campaign plus harvey weinstein back in court, accused in a new sexual assault case and in our battleground beat spotlighting the cheeseheads, why it could be difficult for either candidate to gain a significant edge and wisconsin going to vote for november for press both for trump. >> i will vote for tom law and tim for trump. >> kamala harris assault, seeing is taking a break from breaking news to air. have i got news for you? >> breaking news. i'm getting a sandwich. >> we need to talk about what constitutes breaking news. >> provide got news for you saturday at nine on cnn and streaming next day on max they are some of the hottest videos on social media. >> those videos claiming to

iran emerging as one of the most aggressive foreign adversaries trying to influence the 2024 election. and donald trump's campaign is the latest target law enforcement officials say iranian hackers sent stolen unsolicited information from the trump campaign to people affiliated with joe biden's campaign over the summer there is no indication that biden's staff ever replied a campaign official tells cnn the material was never used, but that didn't stop donald trump from saying this they gave them of the materials because biden is working with the ran and ran, does it exactly like babe, because they were ready to make a deal? >> except we had an election that was rigged and stolen us officials say that russia has also been part of election interference efforts targeting the harris campaign at a senate hearing wednesday on foreign meddling in american elections. >> one tech executive said

it's all part of a broader concern. >> we know that there is a presidential race between donald trump and kamala harris but this has also become an election of iran versus trump. and russia versus harris fascinating are joining me now cnn international anchor max foster. >> max. good morning. always wonderful to see you that microsoft executives seem to put it quite well, or at least succinctly in terms of what, what we may be seeing here. again, all raising significant concerns about the role of foreign adversaries who are, of course adversaries, not just the u.s. but of many western democracies in general interference in the democratic process in the west. >> that's fascinating, isn't it? hearing the microsofts exact there because russia and iran have an alliance effectively now, militarily. and there was a new agreement signed between the two countries recently. so they seem to be on many levels in the same axis with support from

north korea and from china as well, potentially. but here we see them supporting different sides in the u.s. election so the latest accusation is simply that iran hacked into the trump campaign, found some information they thought would be useful to undermine him. and they sent it to members associated with a harris campaign to their private email accounts. as we understand it. and as you just said the harris campaign said they didn't use it but they're clearly i'm trying to undermine donald trump may lie on the russian side. they're trying to undermine the harris campaign. >> yeah. well, i mean, i think i'm max, i think we should be precise. i think our understanding is that this of course, the biden-harris campaign has evolved into the harris campaign. but at the time that this was sent, it was still the biden campaign. things have come out us a little bit fast this camp season. but here is what merrick garland had to say earlier this month, about the broader campaign here, not just this specific incident watch

have observed increasingly aggressive iranian activity during this election cycle that includes recently reported activities by iran to compromise former president trump's campaign and to avoid an election outcome that it regards as against its interests. >> those recently reported iranian activities also include efforts to obtain access to the visuals who themselves have access to the presidential campaigns of both political parties so of course of course, garland is talking about the kind of the broader campaign here. >> and i think what was interesting there as he referenced that they were actually trying to get access to people who then would have access to the campaigns that implies kind of a different level of how they're thinking about this. >> yeah. you remember back this iranian tactic is seen as anything new. you'll remember that 2016 election, when donald

trump called for russia to find thousands of emails, but only to hillary clinton in the end, russia did find some emails and try to leak them. so a lot of this isn't new. this is interesting because they're trying to undermine campaigns. there's a separate russian campaign that microsoft exact was also talking about, which is simply setting up fake accounts on social media yeah and spreading conspiracy theories that very much targeted at the harris-biden campaigns because they would see donald trump. i think is probably a favorable to their perspective on the war in ukraine. they'd rather have that out. come so it depends which axis you're looking at here and what sort of tactics they're using a fundamentally, they're trying to sow discord in the u.s. election. chaos i'm trying to undermine it that way in their address. for sure. >> all right. max foster for us this morning. max, always grateful to have you. thank you so much all right. >> coming up here after the break a body found in the woods

there's the cold front that's the trigger. and you can already see some of the thunderstorms firing ahead of that cold front as it advances eastward so this is the areas that we're highlighting today, duluth, minnesota to minneapolis software to des moines, to kansas city, even outside of tulsa damaging winds, large hail, isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out with some of these storms that spin up later this afternoon timeframe, right around that evening commute heading back from work in minneapolis. so heads up, you want to be keeping an hi to the sky of some of these late season thunder storms start to fire up now that above average temperature will shift eastward. so if you thought false fall was nice across the southeast, well, welcome to summer. again, temperatures warm to the 90s and i want to give you an early heads-up. we are watching potentially for tropical development across the gulf for the middle parts of next week, lots of signs pointing towards some sort of tropical system forming within that area, but that's for next week. kasie. >> all right. fair enough. did you get a haircut, derek? it looks nice. >> i did endures younger today

tight a new quinnipiac poll of likely voters in wisconsin shows no clear leader between donald trump and kamala harris with harris at 48% and trump's sitting at 47% voters, they're telling cnn what issues they see at the forefront of the election i would say the economy is probably the most important integrity you know, i don't think donald trump has integrity. >> the most important issue i would say is women's rights. >> i'm really concerned about the divisiveness immigration is a huge which concern board port of protection is a huge concern and joining us now is jesse a point in state politics reporter for the milwaukee journal sentinel? jesse, i'm so grateful to have you on the show. thank you so much from today, i'm going to tell you, i'm not a morning person, but i'm glad to be i am a person, so hopefully hopefully we'll find and our way there together. but i love you i love your reporting. i followed you for many years and what i what i the reason i really wanted to

have you on to talk to our viewers truly give us a sense of the things that you see here. feel pickup from voters that are hard to see from inside the about way or from studios in new york city. and i think one thing that surprised me when i saw these quinnipiac polls is that they showed pennsylvania was not as close as the race in wisconsin. now, all my sources say pennsylvania is absolutely neck and neck, so i have some questions there, but i am curious what you think of just how close it was shown in wisconsin because i will say a lot of democrats, i've talked to you feel you'll like they're okay in wisconsin and this seems to show maybe they're not what's going on i think democrats have a real risk of taking things for granted here in wisconsin. >> and we saw it in 2016, certainly, when hillary clinton did you come back after the primary but i think in wisconsin we have the benefit of also for democrats tammy baldwin on ballot, who has always run strong and run ahead of other candidates on the ballot. >> so i think that's probably

what democrats are feeling a little bit more secure here but that being said, i mean there are copies running strong race against her and donald trump's hear j.d. vance is here. >> kamala harris will be here. >> i don't i don't think the campaigns are taking the state for granted. very interesting. can, can we dig into one group that has gone in focus here and that is a polish americans the milwaukee journal sentinel published a letter that is from a group of dozens of polish american wisconsinites, including current former democratic elected officials. they criticized donald trump's comments about russia's war with ukraine. they backed a kamala harris because earlier this year, trump said he would encourage russia to quote, do whatever they hell they want and quote polish people in us and around the world know that our future is tied to ukraine. because after ukraine, putin's next target is polling now,

politico by contrast, calls the polish american vote a mirage. they say, well, this is just a razor thin margin is going to decide this election in a small group of battleground states, both campaigns leaving no rock unturned and there's his fixation on the polish american vote. there's just one problem. they write the polish american voting bloc okay, both campaigns are targeting is a mirage. it's a phantom battleground constituency that doesn't really exist anymore what is your view from the ground? does it exist? and if so, how much does it matter? >> well, i will, i will be honest, it's not something to hear about a lot, but that being said racism, wisconsin, where they're decided by 20,000 votes, 10,000 votes, 30,000 votes. so it could be anything, it could be pulled american voters, it could be women, it could be older folks. it can be, it could be anything. so i think you would be if you're campaigning here, you'd be a fool to ignore any constituency and dried any constituency off. >> very interesting. so ron brownstein, who is a good friend of the show, he wrote

the part of why wisconsin may be tougher for democrats. than michigan and pennsylvania are. a couple of reasons the minority share of the population is smaller and wisconsin than in the other two states and whites without a college degree, which is the core of the water gop coalition in the trump era. he writes cast about three-fifths of the votes there compared to about half in michigan and pennsylvania. this would seem to underscore why the state might be tougher for democrats than some assume absolutely look at the industries that drive the state, or at the end of the day, it's still manufacturing and agriculture and it's looking at policies like having goods made in america and protecting those jobs that have driven the state for so many years, whether it shipbuilding or family farms. >> so again i looked to repeat this over and over again, but it's it's such a razor thin

margin here in this state that again, any constituency i should not be marred. >> yeah. >> jesse, is there anything as we wrap up here going on on the ground and wisconsin that you think is really worth paying attention to that perhaps is not being focused on i think what i'm really interested in right now is it's washout county kind of became a cliche over the years crucial waukesha county. >> but what has been really interesting to me and i've been spending some time there is that democrats are competing there in ways that they have not in years past. >> i think the county is going to continue to vote republican but the margins are smaller and smaller and smaller for the democrats who lose area. and so you're seeing tammy baldwin, kamala harris campaigning in the area, but then you're also still seeing republicans making a strong play there. and i think it's it's going to be interesting to watch some of those counties our populous and predictable, but you can cut those margins a little bit. >> yeah, fascinating, critical

waukesha county. i love it. wisconsin segment would not be complete without it, so thank you for bringing that that's you can't skip it jesse, your point. and thank you so much for being on the show. i hope you'll come back. love hearing your reporting from the ground. thank you. kasie, i love to. >> all right you soon. all right. let's turn now to this story. a government shutdown looming at the end of the month after divided i didn't house republicans tanks their own spending bill on wednesday the yeas are two o2 222 voting present not passed this bill, which would have funded the government for six months, it was doomed from the start, donald trump urging fellow republicans to allow a shutdown unless the bill includes a gop backed measure requiring proof of citizenship before registering to vote. it is already illegal for noncitizens to vote. house speaker mike johnson says it's back to the drawing board and so now we go

back to the playbook. draw up another play, and we'll come up with a solution. i'm already talking to colleagues about their many ideas. we have time to fix the situation and we'll get right to it. i'm disappointed all right. >> let's bring in farnoush amiri. she's congressional reporter for the associated press. farnoush. good morning. >> here we are again so funny or is it funny? >> it's not really were just talking again, shutdown politics but this time we are 47 days from an election. how do they get out of this i mean, it's the same playbook and that's why you saw more than in previous cr, continuing resolution you know, arguments that democrats and even republicans were saying this is going to fail oh we know how mike johnson and before him his predecessor, kevin mccarthy, was able to fund the government, was able to do that basic functions. and that's simply with democratic votes. >> you know, when you talk about margins of if one person

is sick you lose a vote on the house floor like that is serious and mike johnson knows that is serious. but when he has someone like donald trump and his year when he has that pressure to make election and non-citizen voting so crucial to him in order to appease donald trump, then you see things like show votes pretty much as you saw yesterday, he knew was going to fail ahead of time and we saw a quite a bit of discontent from the rank and file. our colleagues on the hill manu raju was out there asking republicans about this. let's watch a little bit of what he heard from some of those members i think that this is this is a complete failure of the speaker's strategy again, we weren't here in the entire month of august. >> we could have finished our 12 separate appropriation bill bottom line is, there's not going to be a shutdown we are 47 days away from an election it's not going to be a

shutdown. a why not know? >> because i'm not part of this theater. >> this all set, just not part of it. there are people clearly fed up with the theater of all of it. what do you make what they said there and do you think there's any way johnson can do this with just republican votes or is he going to need he to work with democrats in seems more and more likely just given the pretext of what we've seen over his tenure, everything that he has done, he has done with majority democratic votes. >> democrats have single-end because of so much, so much of his party and so much of his conference brent is against the idea of continuing resolutions as a whole is against the idea of governing in this way, they have had to overwhelmingly rely on democrats and hakeem jeffries told me and several other reporters yesterday, we knew this is going to happen. we can't wait for him to reach out to us in the same way that he's done before. and for us to fund the government before october 1 all right. >> farnoush amiri for us this morning. farnoush, come back as we hurdle towards this

welcome back. first, it was their pagers. now, hezbollah is walkie walkie-talkies are exploding in lebanon >> devices detonating wednesday, killing at least 20 people and wounding 400 450 and a fresh israeli attack targeting the terrorist organization station a day earlier, pager blasts killed at least 12 people and injured thousands. >> cnn has learned that this operation has been planned for a long time. israel deciding to act now because hezbollah was about to find out about it israel is not taking responsibility for the explosions, but they're also not denying it on me koosha, the idf has made excellent achievements together with the isa and mossad, the results of their work, our impressive so we know how important it is at this time to carry out our activities in close cooperation overnight, the idf says they

targeted hezbollah infrastructure sites and a weapon storage facility with airstrikes in southern lebanon. >> let's bring in cnn, counterterrorism analyst, former cia counterterrorism official, phil mudd thank you so much for being on the program. i'm very grateful to have you. this is quite an operation and i want to ask you about something that the new york times reported about how this happened. and so they right that even before mr. nasrallah, of course, the head of hezbollah decided that he was going to expand the group's pager usage. this was because of concerns about cell phones israel had put into motion a plan to establish a shell company that would pose as an international pager producer by all appearances, bac consulting was a hungary-based company under contract to produce the device this is on behalf of a taiwanese company, gold apollo. in fact, it was part of an israeli front, according to three intelligence officers, breach on the on the operation. they said at least two other shell companies were created as

well to mask the real identities of the people creating the pagers he's israeli intelligence officers. so they're writing here, these devices weren't tampered with. they were literally made by the israelis. can you help us understand the scope of this and just what you make of it. >> i can sort of, i only spent 25 years at this time the fbi and this after 25 years, this when i was talking to some friends yesterday, this is really good you talk about a bit of the scope, but that is just establishing the shell companies establishing the physical inch structure, renting buildings, think about the, the piece that i find really fascinating. you have to understand enough about the his hezbollah procurement infrastructure, how they buy sap, who they buy it from, how they establish the blown a few days of a company they're going to work with. whether you trust the intermediate meteors, that is the company that you're working with? and how his blood might have checked the backgrounds of company officials to ensure that they weren't israeli intelligence. it's not just a physical infrastructure and that's

impressive alone to establish the shell companies it's the intelligence for the israelis to get into the gears of how his bullet buy stuff that i find really fascinated casey. >> yeah. i mean, what what do you know? what can you and for i know a lot of our viewers know well, but you worked in this region kind of up and down through the cia, the white house, the whole, the whole bit. but what is it about israeli intelligence that makes them able to pull off something like this? >> well, i dealt with them a long time. there's some of the best on the planet. there's a few things that you need to think about one is, if you look at israel outside that its defense fear and you go to war i'll street is israel's technical expertise for a company that size is incredible. the number of tech companies they have listed on the new york stock exchange incredible, it's only a country of a few million people, so great technical expertise the second is training the training of people who've been at war for many years since you, almost since the inception of the state of israel is remarkable. the people i dealt with knew what

they were doing and they knew it well, they've been doing it for years and they trained day after day after day. >> the last thing i'd say is really interesting. its assault after peace. and that is audacity. you got to look at this and say there's a flip side of this. what's his blood going to do in response if you're dealing in the white house, the president's going to say, if we do this in his book, counter attack are we ready? the audacity to go and say, we're going to blow up pagers and walkie-talkies. and the heck with what happens the day after that takes not every intelligence service would do that. i'm not sure we would have done that. the cia well, and john kirby was at the podium yesterday, basically saying, i don't have anything for you on this. >> right? we didn't know about it and i don't have anything further. what did you make of that part? >> interesting, if you're in the intelligence business, you don't want to tell your allies everything for the simple reason that you don't want to tell him? no, i'm sure the white house would have said, please don't do this. we got to enough to handle already with his already with palestinians, but also, you don't want to have the israelis come out the

day after if they told you in asa, the white house told us know and we said we don't care, we're doing it any you want what we call plausible deniability. so it doesn't surprise me that the israelis wouldn't have told anybody we wouldn't have told them. i think if we're doing the same thing fair enough. >> all right. phil mudd, serve so grateful to have you. thank you so much. i hope you'll come back as a fascinating story. alright, see you soon. >> all right, time now for sports, the baseball season, guys, we are heading to october the playoff picture is starting to come into focus. >> carolyn manno joins us with more in this morning's bleacher report. carolyn, i already had to say nice things about the new york yankees and i'm very unhappy about that. i'm still holding out for my o's, but what do you got for us? that we're starting? that is where we're starting less than two weeks away from the start of the postseason, all the teams, all the seedings, not quite set yet as you know, kasie, but we do know that there is going to be playing baseball in the bronx. cake's clenching at least a wildcard birth, getting there in the most bizarre way the mariners had the tying and winning runs on base with no outs in the

bottom of the tenth inning. check this out. randi rosa reyna striking out, swinging losses that in the process we are on rega had wandered off their base, ended up getting picked off while trying to avoid the flying lumber. justin turner then struck out to end games. so the yankees, when it to one securing a spot in the playoffs for the seventh time and last day seasons during the postgame celebration, captain aaron judge, making it clear that winning the division in crown is still the goal you know, we definitely know the job's not finished were hunted this division we get an opportunity to, you know, punched our ticket back in the hole season after last year, missing out means a lot. >> you got a special group here. the boys are definitely excited, but they know their mission is definitely had the milwaukee brewers clinched the team's third nl central title in the past four seasons before they took them field against the phillies last night, they'd gotten assist from the cubs who lost the as earlier in the afternoon, the bottles were pop in a couple of hours later

milwaukee walked out the phillies to one manager pat murphy he led that celebration party till midnight. and then remember, you've got to decide, make the choice that you're going to believe that there's a reason this group ended up first first-place wire to wire make understand that shohei ohtani continues to move closer to becoming the first place fairen major league history with 50 home runs and 50 steals in a season after going yard for the 48th time on tuesday, the dodgers superstar ceiling is 49 base of the season last night in miami that is nearly double. ohtani's previous career high of 26 seals ended up going one for five with to strikeouts in l.a.'s 8-4 win still has ten games left to get to that 50, 50 marked, and the falcons are set to host the two-time defending super bowl champs, the kansas city chiefs on
