election just three weeks from tomorrow, vice president harris is speaking right now, expected shortly to call out the former president's focus onon what he calls the enemy within, meaning americans and has promised to use troops to deal with them also tonight, bill clinton weighs in on a notorious murder for during the undocumented immigrant accused of it putting the harris campaign on the defensive and later the parents of hersh goldberg-polin, a 23-year-old israeli american hostage, murdered a month-and-a-half ago by hamas. speak out. good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin tonight with breaking news. both candidates campaigning the evening in pennsylvania, donald trump near philadelphia vice president harris across the commonwealth in erie speaking right now and expected any moment to speak out against what donald trump has been saying louder and louder as election day gets closer about americans it's the enemy from within all those scum that we have to deal with. >> that hate our country that's a bigger enemy, that china and russia that's the former president and talking on
5:02 pm
friday to be perfectly clear about americans and over the weekend, he spoke openly about how he might deal with such people. this was how he answered when asked about outside threats to 2024 election, he quickly changed the subject to americans we have some very bad people. we have some sick people, radical left lunatics. and i think it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by national guard or if really necessary by the military again, he was asked about foreign threats to the election. his answer was about potentially turning active duty troops on american something. his running mate was asked about today and here's what he had to say. >> is, it a justifiable use it as assets if they're rioting and looting and burning cities down to the ground. of course it is, right? i think the question is is it a justifiable use of assets depends on what's actually happening. >> so for perspective, according to the brennan center for justice, the last time active duty troops were deployed on us soil was during the 1992 rodney king riots in los angeles, where the former president seems to be talking
5:03 pm
about is using troops against people protesting his election. he also is used military stick language about non-existent gang invasions of colorado i will rescue aurora and every town that has been invaded and conquered. these counts have been conquered. explain that to your governor. he doesn't have a clue. >> they've been conquered both colorado's democratic governor and auroras republican mayor called the invasion, talk nonsense. >> perhaps his comments will be dismissed by some as hyperbole, but it come on the eve of the publication of bob woodward's new book, in which former joint chiefs chairman mark milley, who served during the trump administration described trump as quote but a fascist to the core to which woodward writes, quote, i will never forget the intensity of his worry joining us now cnn political commentators van jones and david urban also political is meridith mcgraw. so van do you think it's an effective strategy for harris to be focusing on these remarks from the former president i think it's an important strategy
5:04 pm
because i do think that the stakes are getting higher and higher. you're seeing donald trump be increasingly disinhibited i mean, he's always been a kind of out there a little bit rough, but increasingly he is talking about using violence against americans in pursuit of his agenda and defensive his agenda it's not hard to say that you don't want russia and china messing up our elections. somebody asked you that question. that's an opportunity to stick up for america on the world stage and says, instead, he says he wants to hurt americans this is, this is troubling. this is not, i don't think i think he arrows would be wrong if she didn't point out that for the first time we have a candidate running for office who seems to be more interested in using american military against americans, then it gets foreign threats. >> david, i mean, do you really believe that the quote-unquote threat from within of radical the left. this is much greater than the threat of china and russia now, so andor said,
5:05 pm
let's just be fair and van to be fair the president, what i believe she was responding to a question posed by the host saying, if there was violence after the election, what would you do it? >> and trump responded the national guard can take care of it. and in extreme cases, the military could to put it in context. let's just be fair. that was there's contexts these questions so it's not like he's out there saying that i'm going to unleash the military on van jones were to come knock on you? your door and lock up. it's not just not not what he said and then to take that even to take it one step further, do you remember in 2016 the chants of lock her up and the trump from the podiums and he's going to put hillary clinton in jail and the anderson to your point hyperbole? yes. hillary clinton was not persecuted, prosecuted there was no trial unlike the trial and the persecution that took place at donald trump. and the fake russia collusion hoax that was perpetrated by the dnc
5:06 pm
after that election. all right by the way, i think harris is now talking about this. >> let's just play this him he's talking about the enemy with the pennsylvania. he's talking about the enemy within our country pennsylvania he's talking about that. he considers anyone who doesn't support him or who will not bend to his will an enemy of our country saying here he's saying that he would use the military to go after them. think about this and we know owe you a target and we know who he would target because he has attacked them before. journalists whose
5:07 pm
stories he doesn't like election officials, who refused to cheat by filling extra votes and finding extra votes for him judges who insist on following the law instead of bending to his will this is among the reasons. >> i believe so strongly that a second trump term would be a huge risk for america and dangerous. that's harris speaking live about this very topic. meredith what do you make? of her the way she is talking about it well, here we are just weeks away from november 5 and the election and donald trump has given them the harris campaign fresh fodder to talk about in the closing weeks at a moment when he has continued to have an edge on the economy and polling he's
5:08 pm
repeated now this enemies from within phrase at aurora and california in his interview with maria bartiromo on fox he's even talked about how one of those enemies from within is california congressman adam schiff and at a time when the campaigns are making closing arguments he gave them sort of a political gift here with bringing up this phrase repeatedly. >> and allowing the harris campaign to plow ahead. i heard that the campaign is planning to cut that into a new ad that's featuring former trump this russian officials talking about the threat that donald trump poses and so he, him bringing this up is giving, giving them a political gift right now, van are in, david is saying, look, this is about what he's saying is if there's violence after an election national guard can be called in that that's you know, that's not unusual well
5:09 pm
that was the context first of all, though, only violence after election that we saw was january. >> the january insurrection that he egged on. look, i people can kind of keep whistling past the graveyard, that sort of stuff. you're having military officials who have worked with this president coming out in a way. i've never seen. usually americans military stays out of this stuff. you have generals and former military people saying, this guy is dangerous, it's not just kamala harris, who's running for office and maybe it's an well, maybe she's just trying to make political hay you have people who have no reason to say anything who get nothing out of this waving their arms, jumping up and down, saying i work with this guy. and i think that he's dangerous when you have general milley saying he is a fascist to the core he got a democrat he's not the harris campaign. he's got it from the aclu. this is one of the toughest, roughest generals we've ever had. who's terrified of donald
5:10 pm
trump? and donald trump is throwing fuel on the fire, david, do you what would you put much credence in a general milley general kelly, i mean, you're i know you're a west pointer yeah. >> look, i have a great deal of admiration for mark milley's a good friend of mine general kelly, i have a great deal admiration for all these men and for different reasons they have their opinions and they are entitled to their opinions i don't share those opinions and i know there are lots of other people in uniform who served with the president, other general for officers who served with him. and crt closely with him that don't share that opinion are standing with them right now. so amazing about america's everyone's entitled to their opinion and everyone's entitled to their vote on election day. so you know, mark milley and i see each other. we have this debate in real life and real time van. and we don't, we don't agree about it and we're still friends just like you and i are amazing. >> meredith, the former president's rhetoric. i mean, it doesn't seem to be hurting him in the polls, certainly in this election remains obviously he's essentially tied that's got a concern the harris campaign well, we know that
5:11 pm
this this election is going to be one on the margins here. the polling could not be tighter. and we've seen in recent days how the harris campaign is to 0.4. president clinton, former president barack obama to try to gin up some support among the black male voters that they've seen some, of the polling has eroded. but look, it's going to be incredibly close, really tight, and both campaigns are really trying to chip away at really narrow margins of support here van, what do you think that that support has has chipped away well, i think that african-american men are, are hurting and uncertain like a lot of folks in the country. >> and i think have a particular set of concerns that haven't been addressed. now, i always tried to point out that the vast, overwhelming majority of black men and above 80% are going to vote for kamala harris, either like almost like north korea level numbers now she has massive support from african americans is just less than before. and i'm actually
5:12 pm
pretty proud of african-america n men from saying we want to hear more specifics. we don't want to just boat part because she's black. we don't want to vote for it because she's a woman when a ballpark, she's going help us feed our families. she's going to make america strong in a way that makes our community strong. and she responded today and i think that's great, that she actually responded to those concerned. and i think you're going to see people began to move back democratic party direction, but african american men have real problems. and just like everybody else, we should be able to save those problems that have both parties contend and compete for our support. and i think that's i think it's healthy and i'm glad it's happening. i'm glad she responded proper. van jones, david urban, meridith mcgraw, appreciate it. coming up next. former president bill clinton hitting the trail for harris campaign question is, did he just score points for the trump campaign later, cnn's elle reeve talking to voters or what? could be one of the most pro trump counties in all the battleground states for our new class pet, we have

5:14 pm

5:17 pm
back control with lipow flavonoid the source with kaitlin collins. >> tonight at nine campaign for vice president harris over the weekend, he also weighed in on a murder case that the trump side has made a large issue of which here's what he said about laken riley's murder allegedly by an undocumented man from venezuela might properly vetted, that probably wouldn't all, poverty bennett doesn't happen america is not having enough babies to keep our population so we need every
5:18 pm
day. it's better to do work the trump campaign was quick to cast the comments as an indictment of vice president's handling the border issues the harris campaign pointing to the bipartisan border bill, the former president blocked president, former president trump, that is, but that was after laken riley's alleged killer entered the united states joining us now is former california republican lieutenant governor able maldonado, also republicans strategist and harris supporter, and a varault is bill clinton, rusty out there on the campaign trail, was this an error know guy. thank you. can take anything anybody says, even people as eloquent as barak obama, as eloquent as bill clinton, take it out of context and make it into a gotcha moment. i had seen the entire the entire clip of what he had said and he spent the time before this talking about the border bill that did not pass the point he was making is if we don't want laken riley's to happen again, we need to pass comprehensive border bill. we need to have an
5:19 pm
immigration bill that provides more agents, that provides more jurisdiction, that provides charges for judges letting people are vetting people that's that's the money he was making. that listen, anytime you have the big dog, bill clinton out in rural areas, he has great at that. one of the things he said was i asked the harris campaign to send me he to the country. >> i know where i belong. i know where my people are. he is great for voter turnout. >> able. do you think he's i think he's a little rusty to be very sincere with you. >> i think we did have bidding at the border. president trump's last year in office, us border crossings were way down, but nobody, but in terms of vetting, i mean, you know i mean, everybody agrees there are not enough judges doing these asylum claims and what it's like a seven year wait under the trump administration, it's like a seven year wait. that's ridiculous but we need to remember too. >> anderson, that when president biden came in and kamala harris came in the very first hundred days, they send a lot of executive orders, a lot
5:20 pm
of them want aggression which caused catch and release, eliminated, remain in mexico policy so what happened was people started crushing the border, anderson and they just sit on the ground. they'd wait for border patrol agent to pick them up and then they'd go to the processing 72 hour processing fee our time and then they go back. they sent some warn our country you've record date. >> there was zero vetting were which won't occur for years because the system is so backlogged, which again, the harris campaign is pointing out is you need a an actual border bill that gets more judges that actually narrows the window. >> vetting from seven years to hours, the border was secure so when they still unable when border numbers were now, when a panacea under under trump less. and if we want to talk real facts, let's talk real had issues under practically every precedent our lifetime and we need comprehensive immigration
5:21 pm
reform. it we're going to address this in a way we need bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform, which was what this bill was. and let me tell you about, okay bill clinton may not be the bill clinton of 20 years ago, but you know what kamala harris has ever able democratic former president out there for her? donald trump doesn't even have his wife next to him. donald trump has no former president because they all don't like him, not even the former nominee, mitt romney, not george w bush not you know, any of the republican leaders that you supported. and i supported are out there, donald trump, the party has gotten rusty over nothing any day of the week. >> the party has completely changed. this is donald j. trump's party. there's no doubt about it. >> i have absolutely agree with the people are supporting him in huge numbers, latinos, i mean, did you ever think that 44% of latinos are supporting donald j. >> trump that was going on today. in american community
5:22 pm
supporting donald j. why? because his policies worked and they lived under his policies, honor. they lived under his policies. and now today today been able community is being choked by inflation. but let's look at the poll numbers you talking about the latest new york times sienna college poll, likely latino voters, harris 56%, trump at 37%, which is a much lower margin for a democratic nominee that they've had over the past three elections? look, i think there's a lot of things going on. one of the things that i found really interesting about that poll also, wanted the majority of the tunnels thank that when donald trump is making anti-immigrant remarks and when he's making talking with racial slurs and the things he says that we all have heard him say they think it doesn't apply to them and i i have a really hard time understanding that because i, you know, when the shooter showed up at a walmart in el paso and shot 22 people. and then there were another 22
5:23 pm
victims. he didn't stop to ask the people if they were legal or have they were undocumented he just shot people because they look like latinos and he went to el paso because there was where latinos went he was hunting down latinos inspired by anti-immigrant rhetoric. to me it boggles the mind that somebody who looks like you, who looks like me, who sounds like you, who sounds like me. think that when he is making anti-immigrant racial offenses, it doesn't apply. >> want to give you the last time i think i think anderson to meet when president trump is talking, he's talking about criminal folks that are being sent to our country we're not he's not talking about latinos that are coming here to work hard. there's a process to come here to work. >> this is going to ask you for your immigration papers that races is going to ask you for your immigration patterns. anna, do you think of latinos believe and they know the prison is not a race business owner that's why that's why he got investigated by doj for some 47 that means i on that
5:24 pm
bus. >> that means you're okay with racism. it doesn't mean he's not race to lose. >> leave it there thank you april mogen. >> appreciate it as well. well, coming up next talk in politics in what may be the most pro pro-trump county in all 2024 swing states will take you there week and asked questions like, what does a comedy show doing on cnn too much but i want donald how can you slice that i got news for you saturday at nine on the future is not just going to happen you have to make it. and if you want to successful business, all it takes is an idea and now becomes a future where you grew at dream into a reality the all new godaddy arrow, put your business online in minutes with the power of ai everywhere you look, things are getting more expensive. so it, consumer cellular with lowering the price for those 50. and now you can get unlimited talk, text

5:58 pm
supposedly he was standing, crouched over because of course he couldn't stand up straight because he was too tall to stand in the five foot five tunnel. they think that then he dropped to his knees and then he was shot with the gun on his head, the back of his head, which exited the top of his head and he was found on his knees two days later and eddin, yerushalmi was resting, heard head was resting on his side or on his lap, and she had also been shot multiple times as had all four others. rachel and jon. is there anything else you want to say or you want people to know? >> i mean, i think we just finished, we're in the part of the jewish calendar where we just finished very somber, serious rosh hashanah is the
