11:00 pm
because they're controversial. other times, just because they're strange and interesting and maybe surprising. they might go viral on tiktok, but they are also newsworthy when it comes to this, i just think to myself, if kamala harris was going to make up a job which she really make up working at mcdonald's. it just doesn't to me doesn't pass the smell test. but as always, trump is putting her on the defensive by saying maybe she didn't work there at all and i again, i hope he goes and actually works there and hangs out for a little bit. i think he would learn a lot. >> she seems to follow the tack of just not responding to the attack. >> do you want to know my mcdonald's hacked by the way? >> i do. i go to i go and every time my kids i got a happy meal for the adults because i find it's the perfect amount of food so just for everybody watching, that's my mcdonald's tip. >> i'm more of a big mac girl, brian stelter sarah, thank you for that. thanks for joining us. the news continues right here on cnn trump vows to make women great again, insisting if he wins, women will no longer feel abandoned lonely are scared his words, this is nikki haley calls out our own party for
11:01 pm
botching it. plus game over. trump's plan to make it easier to beat harris, just shut down and the republican who who stood up to his own party over this is outfront. and breaking news from kfile, the team that exposed mark robinson's talk of being a black nazi and oppose her is back with me more tonight. trump ditch robinson to save himself in north carolina. let's go outfront and good evening. >> i'm erin burnett, outfront tonight. are you trying to lose this election? that is the question. the exact words that nikki haley is asking tonight? she's talking about what the ohio republican senate candidate is saying about women and abortion suburban women like abortion abortions i will vote for anybody else. okay. a little crazy by the way. it's mostly for women there, like past 50 of the of his own as you view
11:02 pm
well, it doesn't take much thought to realize that those words are not the least insulting. and the problem doesn't seem to stop with would-be senator bernie moreno, a new cnn poll tonight shows vice president kamala harris pulling away from foreign president trump when it comes to support among women 53%. now, back harris, 43% back trump. now, given that at all the polling right now indicates that this is the closest race of the century. that gap could make all the difference. >> you want to pull up that number among woman a bit or two? >> which is why trump is rolling out a new pitch to try to win over female voters. voters that he seemed to acknowledge do not right now, support him you will no longer be abandoned, lonely or scared you will no longer be in danger. >> you're not going to be in danger any longer. >> you will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today you will be protected and i
11:03 pm
will be your protector. women women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free longer be thinking about abortion. i always thought women likes me i never thought i had >> but the fake news keeps saying women don't like me. i don't believe that well, let's just start where he finished the fake news. he never thought he had a problem. 58% of women voted against trump in 20 59% voted against him in 2016. that's a math problem. there's nothing subjective about it. so sure. there may be women who don't feel demeaned or insulted by trump saying, quote, you will be protected and i will be your protector. or they may not care. but the ones who do turn into cold hard votes. so when
11:04 pm
bernie moreno says this about abortion crazy by the way, it's mostly for women like past 50 of the war zone when arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders says this my kids keep me humble unfortunately, kamala harris doesn't have anything keeping her humble and when trump's vice presidential nominee says this were effectively run in this country via the democrats, 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 all that just might be adding up and when taylor swift endorsed harris and signed her post quote, childless cat lady trump's response in all caps, i hate taylor swift exclamation point that just might be adding up so even though 41% of women
11:05 pm
voted for trump in 2016 and 42% in 2020 knowing this when you're a star, they let you do it. >> you can do anything, whatever you want to grab them by the it does make you scratch your head in 2024 to think why insulting women without children or who happened to be over 50 is in any way, shape, or form smart politics for the gop jeff zeleny is outfront live in coming georgia jeff, how is the harris campaign reacting to all of this? >> you hear what nikki haley's they what is harris saying well, look, erin right here in battleground, georgia, a vice president harris put it pretty bluntly, just last friday, she said, how dare they and talking to advisers throughout the day as these comments have been coming in, the responses much the same. >> one adviser says, women know better and another said women will vote like their lives depend upon it in november, look, the harris campaign has been watching he's comments
11:06 pm
from the former president with great interest and look for them likely in a television commercial coming to battleground states soon, they believe these comments since helps the harris campaign and makes this central argument here about how he talks about women. now, of course, this is the former president's third presidential campaign. but it's different in one big respect. that is because of course it's the first presidential campaign since the supreme court is supreme court overturned roe versus wade. so that is hanging over over this campaign in its entirety. that is what is different here. but the gender gap that you mentioned before, so interesting on independent women, it's even bigger but among white women, vice president harris is only down three points. biden lost them by 11 points. so that sets the table here for the next six weeks of this conversation, there's no doubt the former president has an audience amongst some women, largely non college educated women it is not always on those dividing lines, but that is basically how it breaks down. but look,
11:07 pm
the harris campaign is going to double down on these watch these very carefully, and use it as essential argument for them going forward here. so erin for all the similarities in this camp pain. again, this is the first presidential election since since dobbs that is what's different and that is what we have our eye on here in battlegrounds like georgia and. others, across the country. >> all right. jeff zeleny. thank you very much and everyone is here with me tonight kaitlan, we just start with you when trump says to women i will be protect your protector will no longer be scared anxious. the other things that he said there and says he never thought he had a problem with women. your response to that well, it's patronizing, it's a little creepy. >> it's also, i think he does not seem to understand the republican party across the board, doesn't seem to understand why they have a problem with women. i mean, donald trump, j.d. vance, they talk about women like they don't know any women like they talk about women like women are this there are this kind of foreign object. they don't talk about women like their human
11:08 pm
and you constantly hear them degrading women, suggesting that women over the age of 50 shouldn't don't have any stake in some of these policy decisions. they don't seem to understand that the policies are putting forward, take freedoms away from women i'm going to across the board are motivated by that. they're concerned about that and nothing that these guys are saying assuage any of those concerns. it's a really, really bizarre electoral strategy when they're running so far behind with women across the board erin, nikki haley says, are you trying to lose this election as she's speaking specifically about what bernie moreno said. but do you have moments where you wonder the same? same thing. i mean, what is the point of comments like bernie moreno made or trump's taking two women if the goal is to try to increase the number of women that you want to vote for. you yeah, i agree with kate. it's a bit of a head-scratcher that this is the line of attack that donald trump and bernie moreno are taking anytime we're not talking about the economy and immigration, republicans are losing. and since the dobbs decision and this is something as a republican woman, i have
11:09 pm
seen time and again, republicans have so struggled to be able to give the american people and the voters voting woman block public two answers. one, where do you stand at the state level about what you believe the term should be on abortion, you need to put down a definitive marker or the left is going to go ahead and define that for you and to the easy answer for republicans across the board when it comes access to health care for women, if a woman is it's having a miscarriage and bleeding out. that's not a question that shouldn't be a question in the 21st century, and it should not be a question for the republican party and the fact that we have elected officials and people running for office in the republican party who can't state the obvious truth about access to health care when a woman needs her life saved boggles my mind and i'm getting a little animated here because it actually flabbergasted me that republicans can't speak the truth on this. we're already seeing women shifted demographically more towards democrats. if republicans want to see a generational shift of women away from the republican party. we're doing a pretty
11:10 pm
good job on it right now. >> harry, what are you seeing in the numbers? i mean, you hear aaron's past. year that passion and what i see and she's talking about a generation right? are the new generation that's coming up, look at the explosion in the gender gap among younger americans. look at this age 18 to 29, this in the key battleground states, of course they're going to the terminus election. look at this men voters between ages 18 and 29. look at that favored trump by ten points. look at that, look at, look at that margin among women voters, harris by 38 points, we can do some quick math here. that is a 48 point gender gap. my goodness, gracious. you do not see that across the overall electorate. we are seeing women increased seemingly becoming more democratic as you go lower down into that age spectrum. and so the women who are coming of age now are becoming much more democratic than their older counterparts. but there is one little sort of twist to this that i want to introduce, right? when we're talking about the gender gap, i we're talking about female voters going for kamala harris, i want you to look among married women
11:11 pm
and unmarried women and you can see among married women, it's basically even right trump by a point. but look among unmarried women, look at that kamala harris up by 21 points among unmarried women, that is the group i believe that could determine this election could deliver the election of kamala harris, which is not much of a surprise given all the comments coming from republican. >> well, childless cat, ladies and john and very clearly saying what your value is. >> a sarah huckabee sanders did is about whether you have children kate, are you surprised when you hear the passion with which aaron is talking to her own party and saying, you know it's almost as if they're on your pining the table saying, please listen to me i'm not surprised that she was quite eloquent and moving. i'm not surprised because i think women across the board, especially younger women, are flabbergasted by where the republican party is on this. and i think when you look at what post the fall of dobbs you've seen republicans go in on this line of attack against women who don't have children. you've also seen very real policy impacts since dobbs fell, not just the inability of
11:12 pm
a woman who has aaron movingly said, a woman who was bleeding out from a miscarriage being unable to get medical care. you also see families who are trying to access ivf. you're seeing that come under. families are not having that same access as a result of the dobbs decision i would imagine, you know, i'm obviously not a republican, but i imagined for republicans and particularly republican women. yeah, of course this is incredibly frustrating because ultimately this is about denying women choice. it's about denying them freedom. it's about denying them health care that i'm sure is maddening for republicans, but this is donald trump's republican party. these are three, it was three justices he put on the supreme court for brought roe down. and so that's where the republican party is today so now there's a question though, and this is where all of a sudden there's backlash was in the democratic party from both joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. >> that whatever wing of the party you think that they represent dent it obviously one of them is not technically a
11:13 pm
democrat now, but today, harris reiterated her support for eliminating the filibuster in order to overturn roe versus wade. so joe manchin now independent had signaled he was ready to endorse harris earlier this month. but then once she said that today, he said this know that you've been considering endorsing her change your not going to happen. >> you're not going to to doors i think that's basically something that could destroy our country and my country is more important to me than any one person or any one person's ideology and then i mentioned kyrsten sinema also now, an independent. >> she tweeted to state the supreme leader obvious, eliminating the filibuster to codify roe versus wade also enables a future congress to ban all abortion nationwide. >> what an absolutely terrible shortsighted idea, erin, when you saw their response he wants to harris saying, okay, get rid of the filibuster to restore
11:14 pm
roe versus wade. what did you think is there an opening for the gop on this or is it just too fraught of an issue? >> this is definitely a tough issue for republicans, but the answers are easy if we're just willing to speak the truth on it and i play it, i applaud manchin and sinema on this because i was a senate staffer, i was a house staffer. i was there in the era of harry reid when he when he blew up the filibuster to be able to get through judicial nominees and now they're tired talking about doing it on the legislative calendar. the senate sits on two calendars, the executive where they do nominations. the legislative were they do bills. we've only so far the senate has only managed to blow up the filibuster on one side and keep it on the legislative side. this would actually be a massive change in the direction of our country to end the filibuster on the legislative calendar. what that does would make the senate, the house, and back in the founding of our country, they used to call the senate the cooling saucer to the hot cup of tea. that was the house of representatives. it gives more time and deliberation on each measure before it gets to the
11:15 pm
president's desk than it does in the house. so i applaud both of them because eliminating the filibuster to try and address a book abortion rights and access in the united states, it's not the way to do it because on the flip side, if republicans are at the helm gosh, knows what either party would do with no filibuster. >> yeah. i mean, it is done. it comes to free for all and then policies keep switching whiplash. now, harry, one other thing that i mentioned at the top of the show that i wanted to i know you've had a chance to look into and that was to taylor swift wow, with trump when she endorsed harris signed childless cat lady and he responded, i hate taylor swift and all caps adding an exclamation point, i suppose for poetic effects, or of course. >> okay. >> so what is the swift factor? >> yeah, i look, i think abortion will make a big difference come this election, right? i think a lot of people are passing or fired up about abortion. i don't think there are many voters who are fired up about taylor swift one way or another. and you can see that in the polling quinnipiac had a great poll today, essentially asking what is the effect of the taylor swift endorsement on kamala for
11:16 pm
kamala harris on the election. look at that. no difference in your vote. the vast majority, 76% less enthusiastic about harris, as more and more more than more enthusiastic exactly, exactly right. i think that's republicans rallying to donald trump. i think most of the folks who like taylor swift are going to vote for kamala harris anyway, right? >> well, that is an interesting look at just a data point, but interesting nonetheless. kate, aaron, harry, thank you all very much. i appreciate it. and next, trump's plan to change the nebraska law to try to win that one more electoral vote, right? which they are passed to to 70, where it all comes down to that one vote in nebraska. but it is all but dead. ed, tonight. and the republican who is responsible is my guess. why did he do it? >> plus breaking news, republicans quickly trying to erase any ties to the republican candidate for north carolina governor mark robinson. but our kfile has more details filed horse on covering the posts and pictures. they don't want anyone to see who series show me the money debuts tonight with our phil mattingly traveling to five battleground states at tonight in this
11:17 pm
special series, he talks to auto workers who've had their lives totally upended when their plants suddenly closed under trump who was divorces because of it. >> families were ripped apart so how do they feel about trump now of brands with a hotel for any traveler you want to like. >> number one shift dad cook it up a free hot breakfast for the entire family at a comfort hotel. >> mom made this. >> i added the garnish book directed christo tells.com ego the number one rated brand cordless outdoor power brings you the ego power plus reaching an incredible 765 cfm. >> it's more powerful than gas and it speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. it's the most powerful ego blower ever. >> vietri egos patent 56 mark with the battery technology, it runs up to 90 minutes on a single charge plus the same battery power is all he go to
11:18 pm
exclusively at lowe's aysenur ego authorized dealers there's the night football on prime. >> it's so been still the dallas cowboys on thursday night football is straight. >> thursday night football 00 ron. i tried to put my arm around any bet that i can absolutely. that new day usa. that's what we're doing. we put her arm around the bedroom when i think of the veteran out there that he needs the refires home. he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great rewarding feeling. everybody but in, in the company, they have that different in that respect and love for the veteran that makes this company so unique breath of fresh air with a stanley steamer, air duct cleaning weaken over 10 million feet of air ducts each year with are specialized trucks built by us, removing the contaminants from your home,
11:19 pm
your area? >> the ducks aren't clean until they're stanley steamer clean i want to turn to the issue of abortion for 52 years. >> they've been trying to get roe v wade the state's i did a great service in doing it. it took courage to do it. and the supreme court had great courage in doing it. >> i have talked with women around our country you want to talk about this is what people wanted pregnant women who want to carry a pregnancy to term suffering from a miscarriage, being denied care in an emergency room because the health care providers are afraid they might go to jail and she's bleeding out in a car in the parking lot. she didn't want that. her husband didn't want that a 12 or 13 year-olds survivor of incest? >> being forced to carry a pregnancy to term they don't want that. i think the american people believe that certain freedoms in particular flu the freedom to make decisions about one's own body should not be
11:20 pm
made by the government
11:21 pm
>> saada, luxury mattresses made affordable cnn this morning with kasie hunt tomorrow at five eastern tonight republican dreams dashed the trump trump-backed plan to change how nebraska awards its electoral college votes is all but dead. >> the governor of the state announcing he's no longer calling for a special session to vote on the change it, comes after my next guest republican state senator might mcdonald's said, he wouldn't go along with the last-ditch effort now, trump is calling mcdonald, quote, a grandstander, tim walz is praising mcdonald's saying, quote, thank god for that one guy out in omaha well, why all this attention it is, because everything could come down to this mcdonald's decision could have a massive impact on the election. trump and his allies wanted nebraska to award its five electoral votes on a winner take all basis because right now they're split. and when they're split, it really comes down to one vote. let me just show you the map to explain the blue dot that you see there. in a sea of red.
11:22 pm
it's a congressional district, and it is omaha. it has gone for obama and biden in recent elections. the rest of the state votes reliably republican. so in a presidential race as close as this one may be, that single electoral college vote in nebraska could be what decides who wins and who loses. john king can lay it out for you, literally get to a point where that one vote could be what it comes down to so outfront now in nebraska, state senator mike mcdonnell and center mcdonald, i very much appreciate your time and as i said in the commercial break to you and i want everyone to know your decision to speak out and have everyone understand exactly what's going on here and you're thinking so can you explain why you believe the state should not change its election law right now good evening and thanks for the invitation and i just want to start off by thanking all the people that have reached out to me on both sides. >> over the last week or so. and again, 90% of them have been polite and professional and passionate. of course, about making their arguments on
11:23 pm
why we should go back to a winner take all or stay with our current system. so i i appreciate that. and back in 16, when i first ran for the legislature and nebraska, we are unique. we have the only one health system in the country. i had said i was opposed to change in the winner-take-all, which was put in place in nebraska in 1991. first presidential election was 92. following maine who change. there's a 1969 and i said the reason is it's people talk about the blue.red.it was more about, you know, the idea of the grid been dod being relevant as the city of omaha where the second congressional district to is and also the idea of the economy. it brings in $1 into our economy, but also it's sending the message come work for our vote, come in and come talk to us. and in omaha and work for it. so that's been my consistent position since i was elected in sixth dana started serving in 17, always willing to listen to people, tried to understand their viewpoint, but sometimes i think people say, you know nebraska nice and they look at
11:24 pm
that as a weakness. it's not we work extremely hard. we play by the rules, so we're inviting everybody in to come in, play by the rules, work hard. we have both campaigns going clean strong in the second congressional district, and i think that's great for democracy. i also think that president trump and i think vice president harris should come in and have a debate in omaha and fight sometimes it's the blue dot, red dot i talked about the green dot let's fight for the dot. so well, you know, i think it's interesting think as you laid out, right, you're not making the point that, oh, it's about how much time is left and all that sort of thing. it's actually a much more macro principled point of view that you have about democracy and the role of your state. so i think it's important people understand that. the thing is though you talked about the report is the fairness though the other part is if you look at because i've had that discussion that we've talked about, you know, midterm, where if you, if people want to change it and go back to winner-take-all, let the people in nebraska vote, but then anyone running for president has a two-year notice. eighth, things have
11:25 pm
changed even though i would be opposed to changing back to winner take all, i'd let the people of nebraska vote, but you're talking about 42 days before an election. you know, that is that is not fair. so what i've compared it to a football game where there's two minutes left in the football game, you would call a time-out the coach and say, hey, rough, can we change the value of of field goal from three points to four points? that's just not fair and that's a game we're talking about. the president of the united states and letting the people making a decision not 30 three elected officials so trump has called you a grandstander after you did this decision. >> and there were reports that you had been trying to find a way to yes. from what you just laid out to me, i did not hear that, but there were reports. now he's calling you a grand standard i'm curious and or did he ever reach out to you personally to talk to you about this trump well, no, i joking about the grandstanding i get. >> but yeah. did he reach out to you to talk about your view on this issue? i mean, everyone knew you were the vote you were breaking up a little bit. my my
11:26 pm
position for the last eight years, i don't talk about conversations i have with people, but back to the grand stade, this is the first day i've talked to anyone from the media. and again, the idea of listening to people and trying to understand their viewpoint. i've been know and consistent since 2016 i'm always willing to listen to people and try to get all the facts on the table. and that's what i've been doing. and as i said, you'll thousands of emails have come in and phone calls and again, we've talked to my fellow colleagues, the other 48 senators, as i mentioned earlier, we're the only one house type government in the country. this take government. i think everyone should take a look at that and then look at following us without we do things like also maine and look at having this way of the land in foreign and 35 congressional districts. >> well, i'm sure you certainly don't consider yourself to be a grand standard state. the obvious, and you've been very considered and careful in the way you shared your view. here. but i'm curious when you look at nebraska without the change in the law, senator, do you think that trump could win
11:27 pm
omaha outright, get what happened? >> look at what happened in 2016. that's what's special about nebraska's the second congressional district in 2016, president trump won in 2000 2020, president biden won and you go back. president obama won. we hadn't had a democrat win in nebraska a prior to the change of this law back to lbj in 1964, but it's actually done what we asked. we thought it would and i wasn't part of it in 1991, but it makes us relevant. it makes sure people come in and spend dollars that would also make some work for the vote and you've seen that where again, president trump won all five electoral college votes and then we had president obama when president biden, when one vote in 2020. >> all right. well, center mcdonald, i appreciate your time. thank you for sharing all of this with us. i appreciate it. >> i appreciate the invitation. thank you. all right. >> thank you. and next we have breaking news from kfile, finding republicans are frantically deleting some
11:28 pm

11:34 pm
seeing candidates and gop organizations across the country running away from robinson investigation from our team found deleted tweets, deleted photos. these are from candidates who previously appeared and posted that they were with robinson. we are seeing canceled events. people who are withdrawing funds withdrawing endorsements as we just mentioned, we've seen some candidates erase endorsements from their page and halt some groups which have halted fundraising things or advertising on robinson's behalf. i want to run through some of the folks who have deleted some of their photos there all north carolina based one of them is us house candidate lori buck, another is state senator lisa barnes bill ward, he's running for state representative. dave bullock, who is running for state auditor and state senator stacey magen, not what is really interesting about deleting her tweets is this is actually a very important race. this is a swing district in north carolina in which she is

running to get rid of an income democratic congressman. she's deleted at least nine photos with robert william yes. and to tweets, right there, that people can see she also deleted a post in which she referred to him as north carolina's next governor. she has just scrubbed basically, any mention of robinson off over social media. >> it's amazing just to get those off as quickly as possible. so some individuals may not yet have said what they think, but we can let's see what they think. and i know the fallout doesn't stop there. you've been reporting on the money that has completely stopped. you were reporting on the republican governors association cutting off all funding for robinson so what what kind of events now are you seeing being canceled? >> well, that's right. >> it's not just money coming into robinson. it's robinson appearing as a speaker on the behalf of other groups, other groups now seeing robinson after our story, as somewhat toxic, including just a few of them. i want people to look at one of them is a chicago fundraiser for the trump fans giving. this is actually list
11:36 pm
of robinson's events that he previously had that we just saw that was events have been completely blanked. it was it was events before our story and then after you could see there were just a ton of events there in early september and now they're absolutely none listed right here. you can see he was scheduled to appear at a fundraiser to benefit the trump fans campaign and wisconsin who is scheduled to appear at an event for a south dakota, a group that was basically socially conservative or republican group in south dakota. and then he was scheduled to appear at a get out the vote of that in north carolina. and all of those have been canceled or we've seen robinson removed from the moroccan. we reached out to all of them. we haven't heard back an injury pressingly. robinson, most importantly, he has no events listed, none. i mean, it is just fascinating to watch all of this. alright. andrew kaczynski, thank you very much at the new reporting from kfile tonight, and we have more breaking news. ryan ruth has officially been charged with the attempted assassination of former president trump at his
11:37 pm
golf course in west palm beach prosecutors say ruth was camped outside the course for hours, hours and hours earlier this month, as he was armed with a rifle, a rifle that ruth allegedly pointed through that chain link fence with a clear shot to the next whole whole six where trump was heading well, tonight, the way it works in florida, they essentially kind of pick out of a hat with the judges who could possibly get the case. they picked out of a hat and guess who got this case? judge? aileen cannon the name may sound familiar. the face certainly is. she is the judge who was assigned to trump's classified documents case before she dismissed it outfront. now, ty the cobb former trump white house lawyer, ty, you know, in the world where you can't just make up news. i got a lot to talk to you about tonight and this was not on the list. this had not even happened and then it happened and i said, well, thank goodness, we have tied because so many times you've come on the show, you have talked about judge cannon's performance at the bias so that you have seen towards donald
11:38 pm
trump. of course, she was appointed by him as well. so what do you think all of that context means now that she is the judge overseeing the attempted assassination case. >> nice to be with here and stole my opening line. i was going to say you can't make this up so yes, i think it's it's it's remarkable coincidence. i would suspect that she may recused herself or have the case for you signed the defense attorney certainly will file if she does not fit, defense attorney will certainly file a motion to transfer the case to another judge, citing to her palpable bias and if she if she doesn't grant that motion it be an interesting potential mandamus issue for the defendant to try to get the 11th circuit to remove her, and also it's certainly a very good appellate motion for the defendants. so i suspect she will not be the trial judge in
11:39 pm
that case, but in the times that we're living in, it's just one more crazy fact. >> i mean, it is just, it is amazing. all right, so now to the reason that i was looking forward to speaking to you tonight, which is a letter that you wrote with 15 other top lawyers in the country to the governor of georgia, brian kemp asking him to take action against the state election board in georgia for forcing counties to hand count ballots on election day, hand-counting, of course, has statistically been proven. again and again, you can ask gabe sterling and georgia, or a secretary of state raffensperger in georgia. it is slower, it is less accurate than a machine and you warn and part in this letter and i quote, in order to safeguard our republic states must maintain public trust in the integrity of our elections by tallying votes and certifying election results without partisan influence not only is the hand-count rule and unauthorized exercise, it is also fatally flawed as a policy matter some very stark and ominous words tie that go beyond one person counting a
11:40 pm
stack is going to get a different number every time they count the stack but actually introduced the very real possibility of partisanship entering into that count. why do you feel so strongly about this well, partisanships already entered into the georgia election board you know, it's, it's it's sad, but you have three maga members who are in close coordination. >> generally, at least one or more of them in close coordination with the rnc and the state republican party. i have changed the rules previously that prompted a letter that we wrote three weeks ago about the abuse of notice of meetings and notice of voting and running running changes through this change makes no sense, of course, it's unauthorized. georgia law requires counting with machines. >> it doesn't authorize hand tabulation.
11:41 pm
>> so this is this is something that clearly exceeds their authority. >> consistent with mischief that they've been up to now for months. >> and it keep in mind, we went to as a country, we went largely toward machine counting to eliminate the human factor the potential for corruption, and the easily demonstrable human errors that were being done with these mundane tasks that are much easier for machine to keep in mind all these machines are certified. >> they've got to pass the test where they accurately tabulate 10 million votes this is a this is a problem that they allege needs to be addressed but keep in mind this problem emerged from trump's big lie about fraud in the 2020 election. of course as to which there's zero evidence of course, i'll ty, thank you very much. >> i appreciate it. glad to see you pleasure to be with you. >> thank you. >> all all right. next we're kicking off our special series.

told me, don't give it any credibility and it goes nowhere. trump claimed credit when a startup electric vehicle company bought the plane touting deal with a major event at the white house than that company filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. >> a lot of promises have been made to the community to the workers over the course of the last several years, when did you kind of believe that this was going to come to be probably when they actually broke ground, josh airs now stands inside, but cut think a altium electric battery plant, steadfast about its future discuss people in the valley. >> another chance built in the shadow of its homekit gm predecessor, where airs once worked altium opened its doors in 2022 now just two weeks after trump's successor, president joe biden, signed a sweeping, cleaning the energy investment law used to send billions to bolster plants like this one biden and vice president kamala harris also unapologetically pro union calls himself the most labor

around the country the rank and file isn't sold on this. this is an issue. look, trumbull county in ohio. this is a trump county. it swung hard there in 2016, were not expecting it. we didn't get to the ground and think there's gonna be some dramatic shift back to biden harris. but what this plant demonstrates in a place where policies actually worked is what we've seen in those critical blue wall states. it's something we're going to continue to look into our next piece coming tomorrow. we go into to other states from the blue wall, pennsylvania, and michigan, where they have similar traits and the stories of manufacturing hubs have just been hollowed out over decades we watched that story. listen that story, and get a read on the economy from that story through these two families that walk us through exactly what they feel kerner, hurley, coleman as well, and try and demonstrate it's not necessarily what you read. the macroeconomic numbers, what people are feeling on the ground. and two of the most critical battleground counties in the country and what would absolutely show where this election could go in a way, no poll can. phil mattingly, thank you very much. and phil will be back with a second installment in his special series tomorrow

couple of minutes early just for you, aaron, 60 miles per hour. >> now, think about this at 5:00 this morning, it was only 35 so we are up 25 miles per hour in that center of circulation, justin, 15 hours. so yes, the water is warm, the hurricane hunter aircraft are in the storm right now, at least one of them, another one on the way. but we are seeing now water temperatures in the middle 80s. that's enough to make a rapidly intensifying hurricane as it makes its way on up, probably somewhere land-falling in about 48 hours from now, maybe even during your show on thursday? yes. 100 and 115 but i still have to hedge to bet plus or -10% on that because it's not always a perfect formula here. and the storm will still have winds of 70 as it gets to valdosta, georgia the 50 or 60 to atlanta, georgia, taking down a lot of trees and power lines. hurricane warning has been issued already from mexico beach all the way down to about an clock river that just to the north of tampa and then south of tampa, we do have tropical
