belief cnn saturday morning starting next on cnn to the saturday, your favorite day of the week. >> first of all, with victor blackwell is up next. so victor, what do you have coming up for us a lot, coming up, there's been so much attention heading into the weekend paid to how vice president harris is do with black voters. >> well, there's a new poll out this morning, likely will not ease democrats concerns. we'll talk about that also, former president obama's message to black men specifically. and comedian george wallace is here to talk about why he's getting involved. bus also, a lot of attention to people who were

trying to recover after the hurricanes. of course, i'll talk to an expert just back from storm zones in florida about how communities of color face unique challenges and getting aid while other groups often actually see more money, we'll talk about why that happens and later, if anyone has met i have a met gala invite and needs a plus one help a brother out. i would love to be there next breaking steve is going to revolve around the black dandy. we'll talk about what that is. the big names that'll be leading fashion's biggest nights, a lot going on. >> i would also love a class one, so maybe plus two plus two we'll be watching. >> all right, thanks. let's start the show >> first of all, if vice president harris is going to win this election, she probably has to do better with black men

in some polls. then currently suggested but there's a new poll out today that suggests that she has a lot of work to do. it's not going to really eased democrats concerns. is former president obama's message though to black men specifically, going to work. we have the numbers on the new poll, but also is this going to backfire? so take a look at some of the coverage this week of what former president obama said two black men obama scholes. obama admonishes, calls out, shames, lectures. black men those are the takeaways after the former president called out brothers at a campaign office for kamala harris and pittsburgh now, president obama argues men considering sitting out this election are supporting trump were just making excuses. and potentially sexist wants this you're thinking about sitting down or supporting somebody

you because that's one harris campaign and democrats is not black made. >> it might be the calendar there only 24 days left until the vote start to be counted. in some states, voting has already happening here in battleground, georgia, early voting starts next week. new polling from the wall street journal underscores the time crunch that shows harris in a deadlocked race with trump in

six of seven battleground states and a new poll from the new york times and sienna college this morning it might be a wake-up call. they found nearly eight out of every ten black voters nationwide say they would vote for harris. but biden one with 90% of black votes in 2020, they write the drop-off for ms harris is if it holds large enough to imperil her chances of winning key battleground states i, cnn campaign team reports that democrats have been worried harris is momentum is running out and that there is debate about where to put aention and resources to change that. we have a great group to talk about this this morning. stephanie brown james is the co-founder and senior advisor to collective pac the, country's largest political action committee dedicated to supporting black candidates. dominic whitehead is the naacp senior vice president of campaigns and mobilization. and theodore r. johnson is a contributing columnist at the washington post. he's also the author of a new book, if we are brave essays from black

americana welcome to all of you and stephanie, let me start with you because the first half of the year when we ask questions about the polls that show that democrats were in trouble with black voters. specifically black men, democratic strategist said, there's no way trump is not going to do better than he did last time around is mid-twenties, high 20% out of the question now, 24 days out? >> listen victor, i hope those strategies are no longer around working with the campaign because that is absolutely not the case. >> and i think you made a great point that listen, the problem now is the calendar. >> let's not forget that as only been a few months since vice president harris has taking on the mantle of running for the presidential ticket and what we saw earlier was that black men were not excited for another biden presidency.

>> so the campaign, and quite frankly, organizations working on the ground who have been in communities have had to really play catch up and make sure that one they can both introduce who kamala harris is to all black voters. >> but specifically show the difference between kamala harris and donald trump. and i think at the end of the day, that's what president obama was really trying to get at the heart of these or two what he vastly different perspective of you as a black man. i think the challenge there is sometimes you can have an inside conversation with you people, and sometimes you're going to have a conversation that maybe shouldn't be as public as it was. but yet, democrats have a lot of ground to cover to make sure these next few days, the bulkers and black men nobody parties to work for them or what the harris-walz presidency, which lets talk about former president obama's comments in just a moment, but dead, let me come to you and let's put up these findings from this new new york

times-sienna college poll, out with black voters up on the screen. it shows that vice president harris has 78% of support. donald trump, 15% but that still about nine points shy of where president biden was in 2020. so if this is real, this softening of support among black voters, specifically black men, ted, why is it happening yeah, there are a number of reasons. >> number one is between about 68 and 2004, republican candidates for the presidency averaged about 12%, what broke that was obama. obama did extremely well with black voters and now we're seeing post-obama, some of those republican numbers, black support for republicans, some of those creep back up. so this is basically a snapback effects from where things were pre obama and with biden as president, as biden on the ticket now that kamala harris

is there, we have seen a softening of black support for republicans. number six months ago, look very different than numbers today. that said with a black candidate like kamala harris on the ticket, one would expect that black support might match obamas that's not the case for a number of reasons. i think the one that hasn't been talked most about at these, these are tend to be younger black men that are whose support for the democratic party is softening. it's a generational thing we're talking about millennials and gen z, black men voting who have less of a connection to say the civil rights era are tactics of a century ago that maybe gen x black folks and boomer black folks still, still maintain so i wouldn't worry too much about this. the big battle is really about mobilization of black voters and not so much trying to sway black men voting for trump to return back to a voting for democrats as they did during the obama years. >> dominick nia-malika henderson, cnn political analysts, also a columnist for bloomberg, wrote a column

titled obama can stop lecturing black men about harris. let me read some of it. so eager to prove that he isn't beholden to black people. he's the president of all americans. he would often say, obama has frequently singled without black people for reprimanding this approach only underscores the stereotype of black americans as a problem that needs solving. what's your take on the former president's his strategy, his approach when trying to get out the vote of black men specifically good morning, victor and parts i would say i think both of the panel is seated a moment ago. this is all about mobilization, right? and turning out black voters overall. the other piece i will lift let's be very clear next two black women, black men is the largest voting demographic in this country. right? and so i think that is something to say. we do know that black man vote. but the other pieces that democrats and

republicans, particularly democrats, have a lot of work to do directly in terms of engaging the black community over the next few weeks are particularly black men. we know when it comes to black men overall that the economy is a top issue for him dam itself. we think about the work that's happening on the underground much of what stephanie said a moment ago, there are organizations and community who are organizing a day in and day out when we think about the comments that former president obama mentioned, i don't think it was directly to black men and scolding black men, if you will. i think is that in black man? i know, hey that's at stake in this election cycle. there's a lot of things that state this election cycle. there's clearly two candidates on the ballot one-half, your issues and interests at best and not another candidate may not have your issues at vance, so it was more of a conversation with black man directly than scholar them because we know black men will show up and vote. >> stephanie, this is what's interesting think is because i went back and looked at the exit polls for the last i think six elections all the way back to 2000. and if we remember

that black men or 4% of the electorate and white men are 35% of the electorate. you know, who did best with white men barack obama. so if you're trying to grow the share and get vice president harris across the finish line. why not focused on the largest share shouldn't he be talking to white men? instead of the 4% of the electric go to the 35%. and he obviously has a message that worked with them. why not target white men? >> listen, i'm gonna be honest about it the campaign just unveiled that they were making a significant investment and reaching out to white male voters this week, i think the challenge that our communities is having is that, that same level of investment going into talking directly? black minutes. and that is where the rubber meets the road it let let's not also forget that black men are the number one

targeted population from this information and so, yes, the democrats have to tell them message of why they are the better part of what kamala harris is a better choice directly to black men and talking to black men. but also they have to counter the narratives that as was stated, millennials, young black men are getting consistently because they are being targeted with that missing information yeah, i think more investment is surely needed within the black community. talking in a real plane conversation with black men ted is the competition between harris and trump or harris and staying home for black man primarily yeah, it's between harris and staying home. >> look, if you're a black man, right now and trump is your preferred candidate, there's very little barak obama, or kamala harris can say to make you flip back or change your mind. and so i think obama's message yesterday and so the harris campaign's message writ large is if you are thinking that this election is a done

deal and you don't have to vote. you're wrong. get out to vote. if you if you aren't sure about what to do, who to support get up and go vote every time ten black men vote 98 or nine of them are going to kamala harris. so this is a mobilization fight in order to win the presidency. but one quick thing on obama's speech, he talked to more house ten years ago. all mail, hbcu in atlanta, 2013. very same tone. very same message. he has a very booker t washington sort of approach to black men. and i think that resonates again, maybe with older black i mean, the over 45 crowd younger black folks are just not interested in that lecture and it doesn't resonate the same way. and this is a mobilization election when it comes to black voters generally, and black men in particular, yeah, nia malika henderson, again, kind of wrote that his approach to black voters and black men is what appealed to white voters was a bomb as she called it for white voters. so maybe this is the

strategy to increase white male out the turnout. stephanie brown, james, dominic whitehead, theater, johnson. thank you. all hurricane does not discriminate. we know that, but aid can and does up next why those in need of help from fema after devastating storms may not get the same help as their neighbors and we're all following following some breaking news, the white house has just released a report detailing vice president kamala harris is medical history and our health information. we'll bring you that ahead. >> george bush does not care about black people for better or worse, a lot of people came away from that. they get it's my turn to talk. i'm going to say tv on the edge, moments that shaped our culture tomorrow at nine on cnn, i just found out, i've been paying for 27 subscriptions kids. >> you didn't know rocker

written down well let's get the deal now have i got news for you tonight at nine on cnn show, health care, income investment in education and now with back-to-back hurricanes, we need to look at disaster relief. >> i was in central florida covering hurricane milton as it hit this week, i saw some of the damage firsthand and while natural disasters do not discriminate aid, apparently does research shows that in counties that suffer hazard damage the same amount black survivors lose wealth, white survivors gain it. the president biden has signed orders to advance racial equity in the federal government and officials say, it's already spent 9 billion, almost half of their recent $20 billion infusion from congress in less than a week. they'll need to ask congress for more money. but history shows that money

probably will not be distributed equitably among those who needed with me now is janti willis. she's the co-founder and ceo for the institute for diversity and inclusion in emergency management. good to have you with me. thank you for having me. >> so listen, there's this study from 2018 that is just stunning. it's from rice university, university of pittsburgh he looked at two counties, black counties with let me just say suffered $10 billion in hazard damage, right? same amount black survivors, wealth decreased by an average of $27,000. white survivors average wealth increased by $126,000 clothes. and sometimes we conflate how and why. like how did you fall? i tripped over the curb why did you fall? because i wasn't paying attention. they are distinct questions and answers. so let's start with the how. how is this happening that we're seeing? in this disparity? >> that's a great question and the disparity is astonishing, right what's happening is that

our disaster management system actually mirrors our societal system. where are there is discrimination and bias built into systems. so we think about red redlining, we think about the lack of insurance in underserved communities. we think about even fema having a requirement that you have insurance to be resilient those things are not going to really facilitate a smooth recovery and a full recovery for everyone recovery for everyone is a myth it's not true. some people will have generational impacts from a disaster. and back-to-back disasters are starting to occur. they're not happening in a singular fashion. they're compounding and it's absolutely traumatic. and it's, it's horrible for people who want to recover and want to have full lives everyone won't recover. and we have to be honest about that. and the reason is because of

inequity now, you're just coming in from tampa after hurricane milton why is it continuing? because this is an administration that at the very beginning said that it was invested in equity and dei approach to this and other elements of the federal government. >> why is it still going on? >> well, people bring their bias to the table when disaster responders are coming into assist their people. first, one planners are planning for disasters their people. so people have inherent bias. i think harvard university actually identified over 150 he, five different biases so someone who's coming to help is going to have a bias. i can remember sitting in an operations center after hurricane katrina and actually hearing someone say, i don't think we should give those people another dime. they're just going what to buy another

40 outs with it. so people are bringing their bias and so our organization is really seeking to combat that bias by sending out equity response teams to support the operation. fema is already overwhelmed. they're doing quite a lot. they're doing the best they can. i believe however, every community needs that additional support and our teams go out and we are looking for those in equity markers. one community receiving support, one community not that's what we're looking for. >> the former president is made this point of criticizing president biden's administration and fema has response to natural disasters. is this disparity? respective of political party or does it go from administration, administration regardless of party unfortunately, it goes from administration to administration. >> now, i will say that the former president is most probably targeting

misinformation to underserved populations i've even heard people say that they are playing in our face charlemagne tha god just had an interview where a person from tampa called in and said, hey, they're playing in our face there getting all this money to immigrants and towards the border and all well, these things when we need help, we need support. well, the truth is that those are separate pots of money. that's misinformation and whether or not it's this current admitted just ration or the next administration, the same people will need help. it's about humanity. it's about equity, it's about meeting people where they are and being intentional to provide that level of service to everyone can see a willis. >> thank you for helping us understand this. it's something we all need to pay attention to. >> thank you for having me certainly. >> now for more information on how you can help hurricane victims including from milton in florida, go to cnn dot slash

impact. i was there earlier this week and covered, of course, the hurricane as it came through where i was in central florida, didn't see as much damage as we saw on the coast, but you've seen from our reporters just how bad it is and that's after helene, just about two weeks prior our breaking. news now, the white house has just released a report on vice president and presidential candidate kamala harris. his medical history. we've got our chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta here to break it all down. thanks. good morning. >> all right. what to say? >> well, you know, she's 59-year-old, pretty healthy woman, that that's the headline. i mean, they have a lot of detail in here is just a page and a half, which is pretty standard for all these candidates and presidents she has allergies. she's treated for that she she worst contact lenses and the most significant thing is her her family history is significant for colon cancer her mother died of colon cancer at age 70 when that happens, you have to get screenings regularly starting usually at a younger age, more frequently. and according to the medical report she's been having that

done along with mammograms i will say it's most notable in some ways, victor for making clear on what she does not have no history of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cardiac disease, lung disease cancer. so they're probably alluding back to her mom's history saying she's been screened, there's no evidence of cancer and no evidence of things even like osteoporosis. so they end this letter as i read so many of these letters over the line past quarter-century, basically saying she is fit for duty both both physically and mentally. essentially, she has the mental resiliency required to execute the duties of the presidency last physical exam was april 2024. and this is essentially a letter from her primary care doctor. >> now, is that the type of transparency that you'd expect? i remember that senator mccain released his records, right? years of records yes. is this more common what you'd expect from a nominee? >> this is more common in this

i've been doing this for a long time. i was there when senator mccain released all those records, thousands of pages of records and, you know, wait a significant history. he had a cancer history. he had been a prisoner of war, as you know, in vietnam so there was all this stuff that was interesting and relevant. i think okay. for medical reporters this is pretty standard, i think as medical reporters, we always want more. was there any pertinent surgical history, for example? any other medications? but they give her numbers here. they do talk about our medications. and as i point out, a lot of times, these medical records, you can cut to the chase by saying, hey, look, we've ruled these things out diabetes, neurological disorders, cardiac disease. >> so it's pretty standard. >> victor also are letter released on behalf of former president trump. but how do these letters compare? >> well, it's interesting with president trump. i was there in 2018 when he did a press briefing with his document that point, yeah. it was a tough one to decipher. i'll be honest with you because we were reading one thing we are

hearing something else from dr. ronny jackson at the time i'm there was evidenced that president trump at the time had heart disease. it wasn't reflected in some of his medical records. what we typically got from the trump campaign was basically saying, not only has he healthy, but he is the healthiest president to ever be president and lived hundred because i remember that without a trace of irony in his voice, he could lift to 200 decipher these things and i'll just say victor is reporter they're not required to release any kind of medical records. this isn't a requirement of a candidate or the president to do so. so when they do so, it's sort of because the public wants to know is the leader or potential leader going to be able to fulfill the duties of president but as i think you're alluding to, we have not gotten a lot of information on the former president trump he did say that he had to baseline cognitive screenings in the past. again, he has that history of heart disease in the past but other than that, they say he's fully

fit to execute the duties of president as well. he 78-years-old, as you know. so he'd be the oldest in this case, second-term president ever. >> all right? dr. sanjay gupta, for the breaking news. thank you. you got it. >> all right. both kamala harris and donald trump are leaning into immigration as a way to reach latino voters in the final weeks of the presidential campaign will talk about how it's being received in the community that's next this situation with wolf blitzer weeknights at six on cnn explain 17 years of outperformance and 30 seconds. >> it can't be done. >> we can tell you that we founded origin investments because investors like us deserve a better option. >> we're proud it could be the largest investors at origin. >> yeah, we've never made an investment decision in 30 seconds. we don't expect you to either so when you have more time learning how origin can help you generate passive income and grow your wealth
