now on cnn this morning the final sprint, kamala harris and donald trump in a dead heat, just 22 days to go, plus donald trump cares members of the gag now, beat down doors with hammers the border debate trump's message on a top issue for voters turning darker on the trail and stepping in advanced weapons and dozens of us troops deployed to help israel face the threat from iran east coast. a live look at capitol hill on this monday morning. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us there are just 22 days until election day. new polling shows kamala harris and donald trump

nearly tied a new abc news ipsos survey of likely voters shows harris at 50% with donald trump at 48%. but let's compare that to the same poll from last month in september. harris was ahead by six points among likely voters in this survey there's a new nbc poll that paints a similar picture, harris and trump deadlocked at 48% among registered voters last month. that same poll showed harris with a five-point lead. now in these final weeks, both camps heavily investing in a handful of battleground states from spending sending our top supporters to stump on their behalf, pouring millions of dollars into targeted ads. neither candidate can seem to get a solid edge over the other. meanwhile, on the campaign trail, trump's rhetoric has been getting darker in an interview with fox, trump saying this when asked about potential unrest on election day i think the bigger problem is the enemy from

within, not even the people that have come in and destroying our country. by the way, totally destroying our country. the towns, the villages they're being inundated. but i don't think in the problem in terms of election day, i think the bigger problem are the people from within. we have some very bad people. we have some sick people, radical left, lunatics. it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by national guard or if really necessary by the military trump presidency just imagine donald trump would no guardrails he who has vowed, if reelected, he would be dictator on day one department of justice against his political enemies all right joining us now, political reporter for notice reese gorman, risk. good morning to you. thank you so much for being here this is we are

racing toward election day here and this polling is bearing out something that has been evident to me in conversations with sources especially on the democratic side. who have all been saying that there have been signs that donald trump has been doing better in recent weeks, and she has these numbers show that she had that bounce. she was up 56 points in september. now its back to being deadlocked. what does that mean for the final weeks here, it just means there's going to be just a complete push to the finish line literally there's a complete toss up and they're going to be kind of just going after every single vote that they can't get their surrogates on the road and just kind of barnstorming across the country right now. and i mean, it's it really is legitimate toss-up. i mean, every poll shows it within a margin of error within one point there's truly nobody that knows who's actually ahead. >> i mean, i think there is an underlying reality too as well. i mean, harris has been campaigning all the way along

saying, i'm the underdog, i'm the underdog. if these national polls are this close, that leans more toward predicting a trump victory, know, i mean, democrats. when i talked to smart pollsters and strategists, they will say democrats need a 5-6 point lead in this national polling if it's going to translate in the battleground states. >> and additionally, there's a pull that nbc news released yesterday that basically just showed that retroactively, trump's approval rating was better than what biden's currently as people just in retrospect, looked at his head and like, yeah, we were better off under trump than biden, which for harris and i know that's not harris. his approval rating. but i mean, harris is still kind of tied to buy something that trump's trying to do is she is as vice president, she has served with him over the past four years and he ministration and so that number is legitimate and it holds. that's not necessarily great sign for her so two places where there are flashing warning signs for harris latino voters, and also black voters, especially black men. james clyburn, who of course has played a key role in democratic

primaries. he basically handed the 2020 primary to biden, right. and south carolina appeared on state of the union and yesterday talking about his concerns around black male voters. let's watch what he had to say yes, i am concerned about black men staying home or voting for trump. >> but my concerns don't tend to keep me from being energetic about this campaign. yes. black men like everybody else, want to know exactly what i can expect from a harris administration and i've been very direct with them and i've also contrasted that with what they can expect from a trump admitted that's traction. so he says, i am concerned about black men staying home or voting for donald trump and what can harris do to try to make inroads here? >> that's a very difficult question because there's mean you would think that she would

be doing better than joe biden just because she is a black woman and but it seems like trump is making better with them. biden was when biden was at the top of the ticket, but she's not doing as well as biden did in 20. okay. yes. right trump and his campaign really just kind of sought to make inroads there. >> and i think that's something that they've really, really focused on is black voters is latino voters. and its something that they're campaign is focused on over the, since 2023 or 2022 when he first got into the race? >> yeah. in some ways, we're starting to see gender and frankly college degree status maybe matter more than these demographics rescorla, forces morning reis. thank you very much. i really appreciate it all right. >> coming up next here on cnn this morning, a deadly hezbollah drone strike targets and israeli military base. one of the bloodiest attacks on israel since the war began. we're going to have more on how dozens of us troops we'll now be deployed there plus a man with guns arrested near a trump rally. why officials say this was not an attempted attack and

kamala harris and trump both courting latino vote voters. the border front and center in the final days of this race we can already see the harm he's up to as a candidate blocking real solutions that would stop drug cartels from crossing the border with java gets four more years. the entire country will be turned into a migrant camp. weekend as questions like, what does a comedy show doing on cnn that's too much but i want donald now, can you slice that i got news for virus that causes shingles is sleeping it 99% of people over 50 it's lying dormant waiting and could reactivate shingles, strikes as a painful, blistering rash that can last for weeks and he could wake at any time thank you.

hezbollah launched a drone strike on sunday, killing at least four soldiers and wounding more than 60 people. the drones targeted an army base, about 40 miles from the lebanese border, hezbollah says the attack was in retaliation for israeli strikes on lebanon in lebanon on thursday that killed nearly two dozen people israel's military says it had no warning about sunday's attack and it's investigating how a drone got so deep into israeli territory without being spotted enough. when we will learn from and investigate the incident, how a uav entered without an alert at the base twice a building where she was trash, uavs so it was a threat we are dealing with since the beginning of the war we need an improvement to our defense finished up all of this comes as the u.s. >> is set to deploy an advanced missile system to israel along with 100 us troops. this has israel expected to retaliate for iran's missile attack earlier this month when 180 ballistic missiles were launched at that country.

cnn's frederik pleitgen joins us live now he is in toronto, is one of the few western reporters who is there for much more on all of this at fred, what is the latest from there as this conflict continues to unfold? >> well, you know what kasie, over the weekend, but we have seen here in tehran is a real escalation of the rhetoric coming from the iranians. in fact, just yesterday, the iranian foreign minister was on a visit to iraq. he said that right now, iran is ready for war as he put it, but also ready for peace. the iranians have over the past couple of days really been warning about all of this escalating into a possible full-on war. that of course, could engulf the entire region. and in the end, of course, also could pit the united states and iran directly against one another is one of the other things that top government officials here have said is that there are no red lines as they put it in the defense of their citizens as they say, but also in the defense of their interests. and specifically what the iranians keep saying is that they say that any attack coming from

israeli strike from israel will be met by iranian retaliation. so they are vowing to strike back. they have not yet said what exactly it's going to look like. but one of the things that we have heard is the deputy commander of the revolutionary guard coming out and saying that if for instance the israelis strike iranian oil and gas facilities, that the iranians could then also strike israel's energy sector. one of the other things that we also are picking up on is that the iranians are saying that they are going to continue to support hezbollah. we of course saw that drone attack that happened over the night. the iranians are saying a lot more of that is going to come if israel continues to attack him well as leadership. in fact, the speaker of iranian parliament was in beirut this weekend, and he also warned countries of the region not to allow israel to use their airspace to attack iran, that, that could have serious repercussions for them and then finally, you had the commander of the revolutionary guard aerospace forces, which is it's the fourth year in iran that's responsible for their ballistic missile program. so for that strike on israel, but for their air defenses as well.

and they say that they are prepared by any mistakes as they call it, that israel might commit kasie all right. >> fred pleitgen for us in iran this morning. fred, very grateful to have you there for us. thank you very much. and coming up here on cnn this morning, an armed man arrested outside a trump rally over the weekend ahead. why police say they do not believe this was was another assassination attempt plus, people across the south still reeling from those two hurricanes. now, we're going to see a change in temperature there will bring you this morning weather up next wolf blitzer weeknights at six point seeing if you're living with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis or active psoriatic arthritis symptoms can sometimes hold you back. >> but now they're sky resy. so you can be all-in with clear scan think they're getting

>> 20 minutes past the hour. here's your morning round up. there is currently no evidence that a man arrested outside a trump rally over the weekend with weapons was attempting to assassinate the former president to federal officials tell cnn on saturday, police arrested a man who allegedly had a shotgun, a handgun, a high-capacity magazine, and multiple passports in his car the secret service says that trump was never in any danger, and that the fbi is now investigating the incident for potential federal charges wall street journal reporter evan gershkovich, who spent more than a year in a russian prison, will detail his time behind bars in a book expected out in 2026 gershkovich was detained in 2023 while on a reporting trip and later convicted of spying by the russians he was freed in august as part of a prisoner swap that involve at least seven countries after hurricane milton ripped

this cold front and a couple of different reinforcing shots of cold air that will impact the eastern half of the country for the first half of this week. so let's talk about the change in our temperatures. we're talking about a 15 to 25 degree temperature drop compared to this time yesterday. look at yesterday's high in atlanta at four, it will be 70 today more dramatic temperature swings for places like little rock. look at st. louis for instance at 8:00 on saturday today's high temperatures, 62. so we're topping at 26 degrees temperature spread here, washington dc, where kasie is located, a big temperature drop coming tomorrow. so you got a little bit more of a delayed cool weather start for you, even though temperatures here today will be considerably cooler than yesterday, but it really drops out tomorrow. i'll look at the temperatures as far south as orlando dropping into the lower 70. so will welcome the change and enjoy the autumn weather for the eastern half of the country before temperatures start to moderate back to more normal conditions. here's look at new york city. enjoy it while at last, because won't

voters nationally. but of course that means there is no clear leader. new polls released, narrowed harris is margins over the weekend. both candidates headed to battleground brown states talking to voters about key issues, immigration, a big one, kamala harris vowing once again to pass a by port bart bipartisan border deal. if she is elected and attacking trump for his handling of the issue when he tried to kill and did that border security deal because you see donald trump cares more about scaring people, creating fear running on a problem. >> instead of what real leaders do, which is to participate in fixing problems and in the closing days of this race, trump's rhetoric on immigration is growing even darker. it seems in rallies and colorado and arizona over the weekend for four straight years, she's important an army

of illegal alien gang members and migrant criminals from the dungeons all over the world. >> and she's resettled them into your communities to prey upon sent american people. if commonly gets four more years, the entire country will be turned into a migrant camp kamala harris is reign of terror, ends the day i take the oath of office all this, kevin frey, washington correspondent for spectrum news, new york one, kevin. good morning to you. >> if you can believe it, we are three weeks out from election day day, three weeks and a day. >> fine. yes, i'll give you one day look. one of the things i think that's that people are trying to wrap their heads around here is there's this incredible darkness to trump's immigration rhetoric. and yet latino voters are actually showing more interest in voting for trump for republican this time around than they have in cycles past. and the new york times polling that we saw over the weekend dug into this now

56% of hispanics they find support. kamala harris, 37 support donald trump. obviously, she's got the edge here, but this is smaller than it's been in years past one of the things that they said, they asked voters whether or not hispanic voters, whether or not when trump is talking about these things that he is referred bring to me. is he referring to those voters of latinos who were born here in the u.s. 67% of them say trump's not referring to me. a third say that he is among those who aren't born here, 51% say trump is not referring to me. and that 43% say that he is help us understand what's going on here. >> i mean, look, we should also not look at this as just this particular election. this is a trend that's been happening over the last several cycles that the latino vote has been not necessarily more inclined to vote republican, but there's certainly some are moving in that direction look, this is a more typically religious conservative group of voters to begin with on top of that, those statistics you've

cited are quite extraordinary that there is this belief that if i came here legally and went through the process, there was some resentment to those that have skipped the process and haven't actually gone through all of the barriers that they had to overcome to become legal citizens in the country. >> how much of this jeremy, what are the things? one of the more fascinating conversations i've been having with strategists over the course of the last couple of elections particularly in states like texas, for example, is that oftentimes latino voters don't like to be singled out as a bloc simply because they are latino, they will often say, well, we're voters we care about the same things. other voters talk to the economy. we want to be spoken to on a different level yeah. >> and look, i think that's part of perhaps the great american experiment, is that as these different groups become more and viewed into american society these other issues that have become dominant for the wealth of population become top line for them as well, including economic issues, particularly for that pocket of the population.

>> so we're talking a little bit about trump's dark rhetoric because there's a lot of it over the weekend, including in this interview that he did it with fox news, maria at bartiromo fox business, i should say, on sunday and he talked about what he referred to as quote, the enemy within i want to play that and we'll talk about it. watch i think the bigger problem is the enemy from within, not even the people that have come in and destroying our country by the way, totally destroying our country. >> the towns, the villages because they're being inundated but i don't think the other problem in terms of election, i think the bigger problem are the people from within. we have some very bad people. we have some sick people, radical left, lunatics. it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by national guard or if really necessary by the military so i think it's just important to stop for a second and listened to what he is saying there, which is that radical left lunatics are the very bad people, the enemy within. >> so that implies his

political opponents, right? people who do not agree with him. and that, that could be handled by the national guard or the military if he is elected what is he saying? there and what kind of attention should we be focusing i mean, this seems to be just kind of a building on what he has been saying over the past decades. >> but now perhaps more blunt than ever before, suggesting that the military is now going to get involved, that the leftist, that the people who essentially don't agree with him are going to be attacked by the military or should be handled by the military. that's arguably rather fascist. doug bordering on authoritarian language and rhetoric, that's perhaps more extreme than we've ever seen. that said it to put it in somewhat of the context though. i mean, he's been going to these various blue states over the last couple of weeks. this is a chance for him to rail against democratic control on these different spaces, which is part of the rhetoric we've seen not just from trump, but from other republicans as well, that democratic control is this terrible thing. and is detrimental to you. and i'm the one that's going to step in and say if you yeah.

>> i mean, one of the things he said in colorado and again, he went to aurora, colorado, which is been one of these places that has become part of the narrative around immigration, that republicans are talk to me about. >> he called the enemy within big, a bigger enemy than china and russia which i think also kind of underscores. >> i mean, we have seen trump also cozy up to putin like people like vladimir putin and president xi of china. >> and that's been the warning from the folks like liz cheney and others that he is more inclined buying to draw on those authoritarian tendencies and has more than willing to wrap his arms around them. heck, he, more or less embraced putins explanation for any russian meddling in the 2016 election, for example, this is a trend line for trump, but perhaps it's more explicit. now, than it has ever been. one could argue in part of the argument from kamala harris over the last weekend has been that because of the supreme court's ruling, he's untethered. and if he gets into the white house, no holds bar

on him. and that's part of their warning. >> all right. kevin, friday versus monday. kevin. very grateful to have you as always. thank you very much all right. >> let's turn now to this. the united states sending us troops troops to israel, a us defense official tells cnn that about 100 troops are deploying there to operate one of the united states most advanced missile defense systems. pentagon's announcement comes as israel faces unprecedented attacks from iran what we're seeing is a massive increase in the number of missiles and drones that hezbollah is firing into israel the first ten months of this war, they were firing anywhere from 30 to 50 per day over the last three days, they fired somewhere around 300 per day. this is the best system some in the world, and there's only six of them, six batteries of these in the united states inventory. so lonely one and deploying a group of soldiers that israel is a pretty big deal just yesterday, a hezbollah drone entering into

israel's airspace without triggering an alert, killed four soldiers injured more than 60 people the attack was one of the bloodiest against israel since the war began over a year ago joining us now with more cnn global affairs analyst, kim dozier. >> kim, good morning. always grateful to have you. so help us understand what this system adds to the defenses that the israelis already have and how concerned potentially americans should be about us troops deploying there. >> it adds another layer of air defense in that what it does is it knocks ballistic missiles midrange and long-range out of the sky with iran in its last volley of missiles fired at israel. it switched up to mostly ballistic missiles this will counteract that or help counteract that. so it's a look ahead to what might happen after israel does some sort of retaliation against iran last

volley of ballistic missiles but it does put roughly 95 to 100 troops on the ground in israel, which the u.s. hasn't done before, and it's also a signal to people in the middle east and really throughout the world that well, israel is stepping up its attacks in lebanon, in gaza that the u.s is making statements about that. but then acting by sending this missile defense system its tacit approval of everything israel is doing, at least that's how it will be seen by many in the arab world so you see this as, i mean it does seem to be a distinction between this is something that is designed to defend israel from attacks, right? as opposed to, i mean, one of the major criticisms, certainly the left has for politicians here is providing the bombs that are falling on gaza. how does the biden administration? separate these two things if at all well, the important thing is

that what it does is by protecting israel, the u.s. >> is hoping to keep israel from stepping up to the next kind of response by sending this now before israel has responded to iran's last volley of ballistic missiles, it's saying we will be here to protect you. you don't have to do as big a strike as you may be planning on iran, on all of their ballistic missile sites, because we're going to provide another way to protect your population from this really interesting, all right, kim dozier for us this morning. kim, thank you very much for being here. i really appreciate it. >> all right. coming up next here on cnn this morning, was donald trump, george washington's worst nightmare are next guest thinks so, he's going to join the show to tell us why. plus, it's a tough day to be a dallas cowboys fan. oh, crimea river bleacher report is next

example and. to three of washington's most important qualities and the traditions they represent. his refusal to use great power for his own ends. his extraordinary self command, and most of all, his understanding that national leaders in a democracy are only temporary stewards of a cause. far greater than themselves and joining us now is tom nichols at tom, welcome to the show. i'm so grateful to have you. it's nice to see you again this is just a remarkable up portrait. and in this piece which i highly recommend to everyone, you write about how you went back and revisited as a scholar the history of george washington trying to find the man himself, explain why you did this. what you found and why it matters so much right now in this moment americans, when you go back and you think about george washington, you kind of have this very stodgy sort of

historical figure in mind. >> you know, i always refer to him as the guy who's giving you the side-eye from the dollar bill but he was actually very human racked by doubts and insecurities like the rest of us. and yet he made these extraordinary choices he made choices to constantly to turn back the offers of ultimate power. he refused to join, for example, to join continental officers who wanted to overthrow the congress shortly after the revolution because they weren't getting paid and they thought that democracy to use a term that we hear now that democracy was working he didn't want to be president for more than a term. he really didn't want to be president at all. was pulled back into politics because he cared so much about this country. he was personally

much about even the even small gifts appearing as bribes. i mean, he could not be more different than the man who's trying to get back into the oval office. and i think when americans need to remember this is our heritage. these are things we expect that if presidents, because washington set the bar even the worst presidents who came after washington tried in some way to measure up to that and trump just doesn't care. trump. trump couldn't care less about honor and integrity in and patriotism. and that's partly why i wrote the piece. >> tom, we have been hearing particularly dark language from donald trump that this campaign considerably darker than the ones he's run before. but even here in the final days, he seems to be offering an increasingly stormy vision. this was what he had to say in aurora, colorado over the

weekend about america's enemies, watch it's the enemy from within all those scum that we have to deal with that haydar, a country that's a bigger enemy than china and russia when you watch that, when you hear that there's a bigger enemy inside our political system here than our potential external enemies in china and russia. >> how do you take that in? and how is it different from the way our founding fathers, how george washington thought about these things? >> george washington thought that the greatest title anyone could hold would be citizen of the united states as well he describes himself as george washington, a citizen of the united states and lately president of the same when i hear trump talk this way, two things occur to me. one is how deeply unstable and emotionally disordered a person he is and there's just something wrong

with him. but also how unpatriotic un-american it is to talk about how the enemy within which trump always defines as anyone who doesn't like him, anyone who opposes him, and his plans to seize control of american institutions once he's elected to back to the oval office, that somehow those people are worse then two countries that are pointing nuclear weapons at the united states of america i mean, think about, i hope people think about what it means to have a president who thinks that someone who did didn't vote for him is a worst enemy than the communist chinese regime or the hyper nationalist fascists, russian regime, both of which have hundreds and hundreds of nuclear weapons pointed at cities across the united states. it's the kind of comment that normally would end

a career in politics. but trump has had many of those. i think washington and the other founders would find it in incomprehensible that we even allow this man into our public square tom very briefly, as we're running out of time here. >> but all those points taken, you could make an argument right now. trump is winning the election running the race. why would i think in part, because there are millions of americans who just have not internalized the danger and frankly don't take this election seriously enough. i think that there are millions of republicans who basically want to give trump another four years of his reality tv show and i think that there are millions of democrats, unfortunately, who just don't feel energized enough by the remarkable danger that trump presents to our constitution. >> and i'm hoping that as these last few weeks go by, the people focus and realize what's at stake here. >> but it's closer than it

should be. then i find that i find that tragic all right. >> tom nichols for us this morning, tom really i actually learned a lot about washington reading through this piece. so i really appreciate it and i appreciate your time this morning as well. thank you all right. >> time now, for sports the lions destroyed the cowboys in dallas. how is bad for a sentence yesterday, handing the boy is one of the biggest losses in franchise history. coy wire has this one morning's bleacher report coy. i have to be an objective political reporter by am not a sports reporters. so you can be objective. i am not. this is very been no need to wipe that smile off your faces how to people that we're happy as 38 point beat down its dallas is worse, home losses. >> jury jones, both the cowboys in 1989, not the president. he wanted kasie on his 82nd birthday yesterday. the lions offense just toying with the cowboys, russia for nearly 200 yards to touch while jared goff and three scores, looking at as double reverse flea-flicker to his tight and sam laporta rumbles into the endzone. these
