4:00 pm
>> i'm jessica dean in new york. we are 23 days away from election day in america and both candidates are on the trail right now, donald trump is speaking in arizona. the new york times deanna poll also showing a narrow five point lead for the former president in that state. vice president kamala harris, just wrapping up a visit to battleground, north carolina. she's going to visit pennsylvania tomorrow a state where she holds it's a very small lead, but there is still no clear leader. it's an extremely tight race seen as latest national poll of polls showing no clear leader with 50% of likely voters supporting harris and 47% supporting trump. we start tonight with cnn's alayna train. she is live in arizona where the former president wrapped up his remarks. a few minutes ago and alayna, we saw him again leaning into his closing argument of immigration using some incredibly dark rhetoric. >> that's exactly right.
4:01 pm
jessica, he really escalated that dark rhetoric has anti-immigrant rhetoric at that rally or at that rally here in prescott, arizona. and this is really a trend that we've seen over the last several days. he's always kind of leaned into that playbook of using dark mark imagery to paint this kind of scary picture of america at the present time. but it's been escalated. i'd argue to a level that i haven't seen yet this election cycle. he's really been ramping that up in this final stretch before november 5. so what we heard him do tonight was talking about what he argued were millions of illegal immigrants coming across the border thanks to kamala harris and arguing that part of that is venezuelan gangs, other gangs coming here to commit crimes. of course, we have heard from many local republican officials and all in some of these different cities specific really award colorado where he was in where he was visiting on friday pushing back
4:02 pm
on some of these claims saying that they are exaggerated, but donald trump really leaned into those tonight. i want you to take a listen to what he said important an army of illegal alien gangs members and migrant criminals from the dungeons all over the world. >> not, not south america, all over the world. they come from prisons and jails, insane asylums, mental institutions from venezuela, from the congo all over and she's resettled them into your communities to prey upon innocent american people now jessica, a few things i want to point out here is that when i talked to donald trump's campaign about this language that he is using. they argue that they think it could help him. there's no signs that he's going to move away from it. anything they're going to ramp this up even more or they told me that they think it helped him propel him to the
4:03 pm
white house in 2016? cnn, they believe it could help him again, this cycle. and so i don't think you're going to see donald trump tamping any of this down in the coming weeks, even as some people question whether it was the right time to really a play on this fear mongering and stoke fears with voters about immigrants in this case contrary and alayna trump also announced a plan for more border patrol agents. >> tell us about that that's right. >> he actually rolled out something we haven't heard from him yet. so this is new. he called up a bunch of border patrol agents on stage in the middle of his rally. he also touted an endorsement from the border patrol council that is the first official endorsement this cycle for donald trump, although i will say they have really long supported the former president in the past. but donald trump said that if he is elected in november, he plans to announce a goal of hiring 10,000 new border patrol agents to really beef up their presence on the southern border. he also said he was going to call on congress and
4:04 pm
ask congress to give those agents at 10% raise, as well as a $10,000 retention and signing bonus. so clearly, really trying to gather more support from that group and lean in to what they do at the border. he said they have one of the most important jobs. one thing that was actually interesting as well, i know we talked about this a couple of weeks ago where donald trump was referencing migrants in this country who who committed crimes. he said that they had bad genes, language that we know he has used in the past, very controversial language that has been received a lot of backlash from people like the aclu today, he said something different when talking about these border patrol well agency actually said they have great genes. you guys are the kind of people who have june. so again, kind of leaning into that nativist language, some of that rhetoric that all plays into what i was saying earlier, which is that donald trump is really seizing on immigration and this dark rhetoric in the final weeks of his campaign,
4:05 pm
jessica alayna treene for us in arizona. thank you for that reporting. let's go to the other side of the country. let's go to north carolina where vice president kamala my hair is pulled no punches when calling out what she sees as a lack of transparency from donald trump. cnn's eva mckend has more on that vice president harris using her remarks at a rally in greenville to argue that the former president is not being transparent enough with voters when it comes to sitting for that 60 minutes interview along honored tradition. >> when it comes to going up against her for another debate or even on releasing his medical records take a listen it makes you wonder you wonder what does his staff want him to hide away? >> okay. >> one last question one must question. are they afraid that people will see? he, that he is too weak and unstable
4:06 pm
vice president from this two day swing in north carolina was to reach black voters. >> in particular, she met with black electeds a black faith and community leaders in raleigh. she also spoke at a black church and met with black farmers but another big push here that we heard from north carolina democrats was telling supporters, telling voters to get out and vote early in just four days, early voting begins in this state. jess eva mckend. >> thank you, north carolina, of course, one of those critical battleground states pennsylvania, could be a state that decides this year's election. >> i spoke to the democratic governor of the commonwealth earlier tonight about the harris campaign's final push to get out the vote. here's part of our conversation. should i know you are in georgia right now. you're about to get on a bus tour of the blue wall states, including your own home state of pennsylvania. i want to start with this new polling that continues to show an even
4:07 pm
tighter presidential race than what we were seeing even just so a week ago. there are some democrats being very vocal, others speaking on background, but they're worried about harris is momentum. they think the race is plateaued. they're concern voters still don't see how she's different than president biden. what do you think? >> well, look, jessica, in pennsylvania, the last two presidential races have come down to 44,000 votes in 80,000 votes representing about a point or less. so it's in shock anyone that the polls are within a point or so, or even a dead heat these are close races. but the stakes are incredibly high. the contrast is clear and i'll tell you what i would much rather be us than them. i think we've got momentum and look, i'm a sports guy. i would much rather have our team on the floor for the final two minutes of the game standing with kamala harris and tim walz. >> i want to ask you about your commonwealth of pennsylvania because i just think so many eyes are on that state. we know
4:08 pm
that it's going to likely be make or break. you mentioned just how close the last two presidential elections were. you want in your race in 2022, with the most votes ever for pennsylvania statewide candidate. a lot of people look to you as a mom model for how to win that state. now you were running against a candidate that was pretty weak, but, but nonetheless, you did quite, quite well. record a record amount of votes what is the harris coalition look like? how does she ensure that she wins pennsylvania will just two things. stream candidate who was donald trump's offspring. and i would note that donald trump and his offspring have lost every race since 2016 in pennsylvania, every state wide race. and by the way, even some races for school schoolboard and local races. so they don't have a particularly strong track record in pennsylvania but it is true that their races for president i tend to be a lot closer in our commonwealth.
4:09 pm
kamala harris just seems to keep doing exactly what she's doing, which is showing up in communities that are oftentimes ignored and left behind forgotten areas that in the past had maybe been flyover areas for national candidates xi showing up. she's answering questions. she's looking folks in the eye and kind of 11 people kick the tires. were still were big staple. we're still a retail state. i think she's doing what she needs to do. i joked with her the other day when i saw our pennsylvania, i think she had in in our commonwealth something like four-and-a-half out of the seven days that week. she's returning weekly. governor walz has been in pennsylvania quite a bit, so they're spending a lot of time, a lot of focus, lot of energy on pennsylvania. and i think they're showing up in the right areas. >> i want to take us to election night. i don't probably have to remind anyone that back in 2020, it took a took a while for pennsylvania can you to count all of its votes? and if again, it may take some time, again to get that all done a couple of questions within this, just how
4:10 pm
long do you think it will take to know those results? and secondly, the longer that goes on the risk for a disinformation nation campaign for outright lies, for conspiracy theories to be spread. really grows. are you prepared as the state's governor to help combat that? as these people as these public servants trying to count ballots we are, let's be clear, the only person spreading miss disinformation is donald trump and the folks he tells that missing disinformation to, spread it. his sidekick jd vance and others along with him, that is incredibly dangerous. yes, for our democracy. and it's really disrespectful to the democratic, republican and independent clerks of elections in our 67 counties who are doing this hard work on behalf of their neighbor verse to fairly and accurately count the vote. listen in 2020 we had a free and fair safe, and secure election. donald trump his
4:11 pm
allies took me to court. i would see attorney general back then, 43 different times to either try and stop certain people from voting and then to try and stop certain votes. from being counted. he went oh, and 43 i went 43 and o and the will of the people was protected and respected in pennsylvania. if donald trump wants two again, spread miss and disinformation, we will meet that. we will share the truth of what is going on and we will push back against his dangerous rhetoric and we will push back against him. in court if need be. again, i think in terms of the count, it is important to note that republican and democratic clerks of election all across pennsylvania asked lawmakers in pennsylvania to allow them to do something. many other states do. states led by republicans and democrats called pre canvas, which is effectively to process the mail-in ballots ahead of time so that on election night, you're able to spit out the results quickly
4:12 pm
and by the way, republican and democratic lawmakers were for that until donald trump told republicans to be against it. why did he do that? he did that because he wants to create chaos in our system. now, we're able to make some changes since 2020, which requires are 67 counties once they begin counting the morning of election day that to keep counting, that they can't stop counting. so that should speed up the process. but unfortunately, we're not going to get the process done as quickly as we'd like because donald trump stuck his neck out and told republicans do not support something that had broad bipartisan support, simply because he wants more chaos in our system member. he's not looking out for everybody else. he's only looking out for for himself and sylvania governor josh shapiro. >> thanks so much for your time we are breaking. we're following breaking news tonight. it's for israeli soldiers have been killed after a hezbollah drone attack hits an army base. we're going to
4:13 pm

4:17 pm
on the msa 60 ecb battery chainsaw real still find yours built for places you probably never been who where you are most for where you need it. most national airport. this is cnn >> the idf is promising to investigate how a hezbollah drone was able to enter israeli airspace without triggering an alert. hezbollah says that drone was one of several users attack that killed at least four soldiers at an israeli army base near haifa dozens of
4:18 pm
people were also hurt. the attack is one of the bloodiest on israel since the war started. on october 7 cnn's nic robertson is in tel aviv and joins us now live. and nic, i think it's worth pointing out to people the geography phi of this. this is farther into israel than some of those border towns absolutely ben, you mean which is where the strike happened is 40 miles from the border with lebanon. >> that is closer to tel aviv. tel aviv, just 30 miles away. from where we are here. so this was a long range drone that managed managed to penetrate israel's air defenses. first responders describe a very difficult scene for soldiers killed in this the strike seven seriously injured many of the other casualties taken to eight different hospitals in the area some by helicopter, some by ambulance the idf now saying that they have control of the
4:19 pm
situation at this military base but as you say, they vowing to investigate and essentially admitting that the defenses weren't right, that they've come up short here their families. all of the soldiers at the base were instructed to call home and update their families that they are okay or not looming, i limit we are managing the incident. i'm not one when we will learn from and investigate the and stuff how are uav entered without an alert at the base base, a built-in where she was trapped, uavs is the threat we are dealing with since the beginning of the war. we need an improvement to our defense finished up yeah. and i think that improvement, if you listen to what hezbollah has been saying this evening and over the last few days and i give you this has been over the last few days been saying that they would and are targeting groups
4:20 pm
of troops away from the front line. >> now, after the strike today, they then released a statement saying that they did this by firing a number of missiles, dozens of missiles into northern israel intentionally took to confuse israel's air defense system. and after that, they sent in what they call a squad of drones, suicide drones is how they described them it's not clear that they really sent in as many missiles were as many drones as they say. but what is i think the big takeaway from what hezbollah is claiming this evening? is that they intentionally set out to confuse the air defense systems. we've seen them trying to refine that tactic over recent days, just a couple of days ago, they hit a nursing home just six miles from here with a drone that again, had managed to somehow evade the air defense systems. one was intercepted, but another one got through. so this is a tactic here. hezbollah is
4:21 pm
evolving. their tactics to try to strike through and in reverse, this strike really a significant it appears it's the be one of the bloodiest on israeli troops since october 7 last year, away from the front lines. the basis inside of israel, this signals and perhaps not a safe as everyone thought they were just a few days ago. jessica. >> all right. nic robertson. thank you so much for that reporting. let's bring in cnn political national security analyst, david sanger. david is the author of new cold wars, china's rise, russia's invasion, and america's struggle to defend the west. also joining us cnn military analyst, colonel cedric leighton, great to see both of you colonel leighton, let's start first with you as nic was just reporting the idf now investigating how this drone entered israel without triggering an alert, how might that have happened and how significant is that? >> yeah jessica, it's extremely significant in one of the things that could have
4:22 pm
happened and there's indication that this might be the case the drone in question may have flown along the surface of the earth is very hard for radar to pick up things that are really low flying. i not impossible, but very difficult. and did do what we call a nap of the earth. and navigation that would then make it very difficult for any defensive system to pick the drone up and actually eliminated, shoot it down. that so that's what i think may have happened in this particular case. and it's certainly something where it's clear that hezbollah is refining it's tactics and israel is, of course consequences that and david, while this is happening, we're also getting this new information today that the u.s us. >> is sending this missile defense system to israel. it's sending about 100 troops to help operate this system. what does that tell you? >> well, first of all, yes. okay. just on cedric's point,
4:23 pm
what we're learning here is that in each conflict, the middle east, ukraine and so forth. but combatants are learning from each other and if what has happened here is what cedric described it's very similar to things that the ukrainians and the russians have been doing as they each experiment and improve their drone attacks. so we should remember that these are all, in many ways connected. conflicts to your question i think president biden was living looking for a way to help the israelis make the case that a another iranian missile attack on israel would fail as the previous two will have failed to do much damage and by putting this additional patriot system together, he's got the moment to go do that but i
4:24 pm
think what what else we're learning here is that the president tolerance for having american troops in the way here in even in defensive positions in israel is increasing a little bit that he is thinks it's a relatively small risk to have 100 americans. >> there. >> obviously there are thousands of americans on board the ship's. and in nearby basis to try to help defend israel as well. >> yeah and colonel, i want to get your thoughts on that as well, and kind of also, if you can help people understand exactly what this does yeah, this is i agree with a lot of different aspects to this, but or tolerance seems to have increased for putting some of our troops in areas where conflict could occur in the middle east. >> and what we're seeing here, this is the terminal high altitude air defense system and
4:25 pm
basically what it's designed to do is it's designed to shoot down ballistic missiles of very varying ranges. everything from short range ballistic missiles. but say something that can go for 600 miles. all the way to intermediate range missiles. so that's something that can go up to about 3,400 miles or so so these systems are designed to actually hit the incoming missile as it's coming down and they don't have a warhead themselves. but basically the system is designed to knock things out of the sky just before it impacts the ground is so that's what this system can do. it's highly effective, very accurate was designed in the wake of the first gulf war and then deploy in the early 2000s. it's been deployed to israel before the first time in 2012 for the second time in 2019. >> so this is not the first time we've done this. >> and also we've deployed other systems as well but this is certainly significant that we're putting it here it says
4:26 pm
david said a reminder to the iranians that we were going to do what we can to protect israel from any incoming ballistic missile attacks from iran. >> yeah. and david, to that point, as we have seen in this conflict the u.s. being very open about them putting that they're that it's going there. they want that information shan out there as a deterrent. it seems they do. jessica said rick scott to write it. i misspoke before some patriot system that's what they call a thad system for and we'll handle a variety of iran's most advanced defenses and they certainly want to tell the iranians that if they do launch another missile attack, there are more likely to go intercepted. and they're saying this because of course we're all waiting for the israelis to do their counter attack from the october 1 attack. and the fact that here we are in the
4:27 pm
middle of the month and it hasn't happened yet tells you that the israelis have taken a little bit different view than they did when the first missile attack happened back in april at that time, they were in a big rough to reassert deterrence by shooting back right away this time they seem to be taking their time, picking their targets, enjoying the fact that the iranians are closing their aerospace at various moments, at a fear that the attack was coming and they're willing to let it sort of dangle. their a bit. and i think it tells you about sort of a newer confidence they have in their ability to make the iranians doubt whether or not they're missiles really can do much armed israel all right, david sanger and colonel cedric leighton, thanks to both of you back

4:40 pm
president say to me, they know that there is a possibility if trump were to win, it would be obama who would be seen as the aberration in american politics here. whereas if harris were to win, it would be trump. that would be seen that way. >> there's also a sort of personal sense of america that you can see coming through the president. let's take a listen to the way he talked about this on thursday night in pittsburgh about it to score political points. and this has consequences let's people are afraid and they lost everything. and now they're trying to figure out how do i apply for help. the idea of intentionally trying to deceive people in their most desperate and vulnerable moments. and my question is, when did that become ok so jessica, that is barak obama saying, how did this become the country that we're living in? >> essentially? and that's been bubbling out of him and all of

communities. she knows the hard math if hillary clinton's narrow 2016 wisconsin loss and what it took to deliver joe biden's narrow 2020 when cautiously optimistic now, how she rally her team and runs the 2024 canvassing numbers, you can't win a statewide election here without going through the heart of milwaukee and in some cases, that runs through this office and the work that our team does. but also we're seeing folks in heavily red areas that are getting together with other women at coffee shops without their husbands knowing, for example and starting to have those conversations, we got the most right now off the charts support among women is critical for harris when these canvassers encounter a trump supporter, it is almost always a black man, one of the things that we've heard is people are like, well, i think i had more money in my pocket and trump was in office because of the stimulus checks during the pandemic as all you got brian, mick, mercury was a lifelong democrat, but he voted for trump in 2020, is undecided, but leaning trump this year,

potency. look for clinical grade berberine and other doctors prefer products in stores near you since 2020, roughly 12,000 haitian immigrants have moved to springfield, ohio. trumpet is running major events, has been a large portion of their campaign targeting these legal immigrants, spreading this information and threatening to deport them if elected in this week's the whole story, cnn's omar jimenez, it takes yours inside the community hey, jessica, so yeah, there has been a lot of talk about springfield, a lot of it has come since the presidential debate in early september, but a lot of the issues, the central issues in springfield
4:58 pm
started way before any presidential debate. >> and that's come with an increase in haitians that have come just do you feel legally either under humanitarian, are either under the biden administration is parol program or they've then been able to acquire temporary protected status regardless, it has led to a population increase there. and as you may know, the population in springfield is around 58,020, 20 the city estimates that anyway, where between 12 and 15,000 immigrants are in the county where springfield is, of course, the biggest cities. so that understandably, regardless of any immigrant status that increase in population has put stresses on things like education, health care, housing prices, things of that nature. and then you add the fact that there's a language barrier here that i think based on my experience, there has helped contribute one to a lack of understanding in some cases, but also just difficulty in adjusting to life in

5:00 pm
economy standpoint for the community, they are shopping, they're paying taxes. it just boggles my mind. the people that think that they're just getting this incredible free ride and that's some of what we heard from the governor of ohio who we spoke to for this as well, that the influx of haitians, while they have put stress it is on different aspects of society. >> they have revitalized the economy. there. one that was declining in recent years as many officials on the ground explain to me, so i'm excited for you all to see it tonight. i think we do hit at a lot of what the real issues are in springfield, which of course has been at the center of this national discourse. that hasn't always been. let's just say preferential to facts. jessica omar. >> thanks. so they'll whole story with anderson cooper, one whole story, one whole hour airs next only on cnn. thank you so much.
