12:00 am
deal for him >> why did that disagreed with him? yet and their threats the united i mean those two guys were really interesting to hear from them? >> yeah, they were absolutely appalled by jan sex. that was the main issue that they've brought up one of them was a vietnam veteran. he said that trump was anti-american and what he'd done on january 6 and other objections to the way that cost to been beaten. and he didn't think trump had done enough to make the mob dissipate. >> and you spoke to one woman. i mean, this is what when it caught my attention looking at a story that her grandson had passed away and she bought a black trump hat to lay at it. >> a freshly dug graves, it just that because he was such a fervent trump supporter. >> yeah when we talked to her and to his parents, they said that he had been so committed to trump and he just couldn't wait to vote for him. and that
12:01 am
he would want everyone to know that he supported trump. and since he couldn't say it himself they're going to put that sign up there florida. can i just want to play that moment because we have that twitter or not. >> okay it's not my place to judge him is just my place to say i'm living better and my family is doing better and we're not struggling so if he wants to tweet something, tweet own brother, i don't care what did you make it up she that was sherry rows. she has most people in the county have to drive far for work unless they're on fixed income. so either way, you're really watching your budget. so inflation was a really big deal to her he said it wasn't personal and she said that if kamala harris had come out as an independent, she might have been interested in what she had today always enjoy your reporting. >> thank you. thank you all so much for joining us. cnn newsnight with abby phillip starts now tonight. donald
12:02 am
trump the bigger problem is the enemy from within makes a totalitarian threat should be very easily handled to use military force by national guard. >> or if really necessary by the military to punish it's political opponents plus high risk low reward. kamala harris gambles that a conservative audience wants to hear what she has to say and says yes to her first ever fox news interview. also sticks and stones harris and trump play a game of rubber and glue over who's mentally all there. live at the table ashley allison, scott jennings, maria cardona and shermichael singleton with 22 days to go americans with different perspectives aren't talking to each other. but here they do
12:03 am
in new york. let's get right to what america is talking about. donald trump's threat. listen carefully to this. if you take donald trump literally, figuratively seriously, whatever what you're about to hear is him saying something that really matters. trump talks about how cities are becoming a third world country. but following through on his promise to use the military to punish political opponents, would essentially turned the us into something resembling russia are the philippines, or venezuela only with the most powerful military in the world i think the bigger problem is the enemy from within, we have some very bad people. >> we have some sick people, radical left, lunatics. and i think they are it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by national guard or if really necessary sorry, by the military because they can't let that happen kamala
12:04 am
harris literally played that clip to a crowd tonight in philadelphia. >> then she issued this warning so, you heard his words you heard his words coming from him he's talking about the enemy within pennsylvania. he's talking about the made 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 it's a closing message of sorts because we only have 22 days left and i'll be honest, ashley, i'm really wondering at this point with everything that trump has said and done, he says versions of this all the time. >> and frankly, i have the proof is this really something that is going to penetrate to voters at this point? >> i don't think it will change any voters minds per say, but i do think it's an important reminder. we cannot
12:05 am
let language like this just happen and not call it out because that is how democracies fall. now there may be a few undecided voters. i'm like my my belief in real undecided voters skin right now, but there may be some independents, some people on the margins who are like, should i go, should i not go that this is a motivating factor because they want to save the democracy over anything else. but i think people who find his words so vile and so disgusting and so dangerous have already made up their mind. yeah. >> i mean, last three weeks. of the campaign. i mean, i i honestly i mean, it seems a little bit surprising that this is the thing that that is kind of being seized upon in this moment. >> but i think it is important because you said it at the very beginning. these things it's a matter, these things are not things that we should just pretend that either he's not saying them or that he's not serious when he says them and so i think that part of the
12:06 am
motivating factor, and i think it's a smart strategy for the kamala harris campaign is to maybe find some of those independents, some of those disaffected republicans, people maybe who have seen him for the last four years when he was in office, who are listening to the republicans that actually worked for him, who are underscoring how dangerous he is. and then his words on top of that i think that that makes a mix of a poison in cauldron that i do think can both oh, debate folks who might be on the fence and i think importantly, will persuade people who already know that they don't want him in office, that it is important for them to get off the couch and to actually go vote if that were true, wouldn't the numbers have moved several months ago? i, mean, when you look at most polling data that we have, most americans say that they're dissatisfied with the direction of the country under the biden-harris administration, nbc just had a poll that came on, i think today or they
12:07 am
showcase the vice president is doing even worse on the issue of the economy, on immigration, on foreign policy. >> and i think that those are the most critical issues at pupils in pennsylvania are most concerned about. and i think that's going to be the motivating factor. >> for many know, you're, you're probably right about that. i mean, i i wanted i mean, what does it say about the country that that's true? i mean i was curious. i mean, apparently, according to some recent polling, harris is at 44% way more trusted by almost ten points and then trump on protecting democracy, only 24% of americans think trump will accept the election results, but this is a tied race well, for a tied race isn't tied race and he leads on the economy, he leads on immigration, he leads on foreign policy that was from the cnn poll that we did several days ago. >> i mean, on the issues that seem to matter most of the people he's in good shape, his administration retroactively has its highest ever job approval in the latest nbc poll, he is more popular by most measures that he's ever been on the substance of this issue tonight they were having
12:08 am
a conversation about the possibility of chaos on election day, and he flatly said, i don't expect any chaos out of my people, but one thing that i think we can't gloss over is that for the last calendar year in this country, there have been elements of the radical left who have been more than happy to engage in chaos on college campuses and on the streets of major american cities. they don't respect institutions and certainly when it's handled, been handled by law enforcement, what trump is calling for is basically unconstitutional if a lead has nothing to do with the kamala harris campaign, they've been election day comes and radical elements who have clearly flaunted our norms and laws all over this country were to do something. i don't know why you wouldn't consider all options they did on january 11, if know about right. >> who actually did have proof. there's a worry there. his team, not ours in law
12:09 am
enforcement and the national guard should control that but you act like i think that didn't have been saying that you don't think has didn't happen and that there's a problem, but the problem is is that he doesn't think it happened in that there is a problem. and so that is why his words have such power. i cannot say, i am not saying this it'd be hyperbolic. i am not saying this to though flames into the campaign. i cannot say that sitting on this network saying that i think donald trump is a danger to democracy, that if donald trump wins, donald trump would not come after me and you know why? >> because there are people who have been on this network who say, my words are dangerous who say i want to be donald trump at the ballot box. >> i don't want to do it any other way, but donald trump doesn't accept the outcome of the ballot box, which is why we had james saying it's all the scum he calls americans scum eye. he says sleazebags, but then you said that this was about protesters in the street, i presume you're talking and by pro-palestinian protests. that's another thing. he says
12:10 am
trump is the one who says it's about shifting. adam schiff. he's talking about sitting lawmaker. >> i mean, look, my perspective, donald trump is on his way to to 70 i think that's very clear. i think. >> but i got to me it's thank shermichael. that's that's the political stuff scott wanted to talk about the substance. let's talk about the substance. the substance of this it is not really justifiable because you're not even trying to pit, but every we've had these conversations for how many? >> here's now about the former president and his language and his rhetoric. and here's a line. >> you know what the reality is. >> the guy is performing better by every metric today. that's every time and that is absolutely true. he is more popular today. he's constantly underestimated this isn't an opinion about liking, disliking the guy. this is just a fact i don't think oftentimes we get caught up in the rhetoric and we forget the reality that let
12:11 am
me get in here for a second. >> shermichael, because i think that trump isn't i think that will back you up a little bit shared by so mosher michael, give me a second here because i have some information that might back you up here. the new york times to talk to voters, trump voters. and this is what they say about the conversation around the things that he says, the media stop blow stuff out of proportion, says one voter, another voter. he turns around and he says, no, i'm not doing that another voter says he says the same crap about hillary and then he didn't do any point, abby, that's this is actually for the democrats at the table. there is a believability gap for trump, and i think a lot of democrats, i hear you all talk about this stuff. and you say, well, we saw what he was like as president and some of the same voters look at that and they say, well, he didn't do it, but the same voters our his voters and his voters are going to believe anything and everything that comes out of his mouth. if you are somebody who was looking at what happened on january 6 even from
12:12 am
the range of the political spectrum from republicans to democrats you looked at that with horror and you looked at that knowing that donald trump was the one who was actually really inflaming that. and did nothing to stop it. that's not the only thing abby, donald trump ripped babies from the arms of their mothers because of donald trump, there's a generation of orphans in this country and he has said that he would do that again, so, again, for so many communities that are vulnerable, that donald trump and it's not just what he is saying about going after his political enemies is everything that he is saying to get retribution from vulnerable communities he is absolutely. i think people believe that he will do that. and i think that is going to be a motivating factor, not just for the kamala harris campaign, but for these communities to understand that this it's actually it's existential for them. >> paris bringing this up, there's two issues that jumped out to me. one she has lot about donald trump quite a bit in this campaign. he and i had
12:13 am
a conversation when night about the bloodbath thing, for instance. and so i think she burned a lot of her credibility on some of her attacks early in this campaign. and so people do look at that and say, oh, she's exaggerating again. but number two at this point in the campaign, i thought this last week when president obama came out, i don't think the democrats problem is they just haven't attack donald trump enough. i think their problem is they haven't sold kamala harris enough. and that's why she can't close the deal. and so i just wonder if we get another three weeks of attacks from all these candidates. aides and surrogates against donald trump, but no real sales pitch for kamala harris can she actually get there when you consider what shermichael just said is true, that he's winning on these issues aren't you? >> that you not a yes. and i think i don't disagree that there are polls that show donald trump is ahead in some issues. i think that there are, there there's one issue our democracy that should be superseding. and so i think the issue that i am taking as i understand how i am an american, i understand how people are feeling my family is
12:14 am
feeling in this moment. but you don't get to have a feeling or express how you're feeling, or decide who your leaders are. if you don't have the democracy, i do agree. i don't i will refuse to normalize this language, this behavior. so i think you have to continue to call it out and then you have to say and in addition to standing for our democracy, this is what i will do to you and i hope that the next three do do for you, and i hope that the next three weeks is that is that's what the commonly of the things scott, if all of the things that you said are true and all the things that us that are true about donald trump, you ask, why hasn't kamala harris close the deal? why hasn't donald trump close a deal if everything that you said is true and that we use it is true, he would be ahead and he's not she's the one who's ahead right now. and if you look at if you look at the pieces in the new york times poll that came out, she is now beating trump in terms of the candidate who right? represents change, she beats trump in terms of the candidate who represents and is going to fight for people like me. those are two pieces that are critical in this campaign for
12:15 am
who will win, right guys, stick around. >> we've got much more ahead coming up next, kamala harris decides to go somewhere. she's never been before fox news, is it worth the gamble considering that the network that paid nearly $800 million for amplifying trump's lies in the last election. we're going to have a special guest to join us at our table in the fifth seats, discuss all of that. that's next coming to cnn this fall pros and cons less pro hosted by roy wood jr. row with amber ruffin would michaelian black? oh, okay. what are the cons we could run out the news by then? >> i'm never or could it thank goodness. >> everybody got news for you. saturday at nine on cnn and streaming next day on max >> sleep at night on a mattress for mattress firm.

best deals, go to shop manno.com pentagon. >> and this is prove it for the democratic nominee. >> any interview in mirror weeks has left the campaign is basically a high the wire act for her if that interview so happens to be on the pillar of conservative media. that is fox
12:20 am
news it's basically a gamble. so let's consider the wednesday, one of the last potential trajectory changing moments for the campaign will be this. when harris sits down with bret baier and we are told it's going to be 25 to 30 minutes. worth of questions with us now, is puck senior political correspondent tara palmeri. she's in our fifth seat it tara why would kamala harris be going on fox news three weeks before the election? >> i think it makes sense because she needs to speak to working class swing voters, independents, republicans who are still on the fence. i don't know if you heard from her director to to 270, david plouffe this morning, he thinks there's still gettable. and if those are the persuadable voters, you got to get them where they are and they're watching fox news. the people really maga-type republicans. they think fox is too liberal. i mean, they really do. i know this because i know a few now is really plays for nikki haley land voters it's actually i mean, i think there's a misconception about who watches fox right? and it's really a
12:21 am
lot of different types of people that she might need to talk to you. i need to talk i was actually surprised that she's never done a fox interview. >> you go what it was amazing to me about this is, you know, she turned down the fox news debate they offered a debate and she didn't want to do it. and now with three weeks to go, were scrambling over to fox news because this campaign isn't a full-blown panic. i do want to say a word about bret baier. everybody's seems to be crapping on him today. brett baier is one of the best journalists out there. he's going to ask her a good questions. and if the 60 minutes interview or the view or anything else she's done lately? leet was hard for her bret baier is going to put her through her paces. >> and so this is a dangerous thing because he's a real journalist was going to ask real questions i have people been attacking bread. >> i feel like people have been lives as one of one of the better trump interviews he conducted, that i think it's really smart. i agree that there could be voters to be had there and just want to say to scott that the kamala harris campaign is a no way in full blown panic. she's doing
12:22 am
exactly what everyone was saying. she needs to do. she is now everywhere. what is it called? everything? everywhere. >> all at once. that's what she's doing because that's what she can be doing. right? >> she is expanding the map in a way that i don't think people were expecting her to do right now. >> let's just look at her coalition. her coalition. her coalition is from bernie sanders and aoc to dick cheney that is the kind of spectrum that you do that you expect from a campaign that is speaking to all american voters expanding the map north north carolina, georgia on the map all year. oh, no, no, no, no. >> hold on. florida. all right. share my copilot the vice president, we've talked about this in a previous segment. >> if the campaign was doing so well, if she was so ahead in the polls, she would not be gone on fox news. she would not sit down with bret baier. i'm
12:23 am
almost certain if i were democratic strategist, i would be very concerned about potentially putting my candidate on fox news when she's asked a question where she doesn't she doesn't answer looking at it, but i mean, i think you could also look at it strategically as this probably should have happened earlier, whether she was up or not. >> i mean, when you look at someone like the pete buttigieg, he's always on fox. he's on fox. >> but he's she's been i feel like if we took names off of people's like itinerary you would look at her itinerary and be like, she's a winner and your guys a loser point blank. >> why? >> because of the place that she goes from the shade room to fox, that's range. okay. your guy doesn't do that. your guy goes to a safe space that you would like to that donald trump
12:24 am
know even the nominee was that wasn't i've seen a number of reporting from axios and a whole bunch of other outlets talking about how democrats are concerned at the vice president isn't doing enough in terms of interviews, isn't doing enough in terms of campaign it on the campaign trail. yeah. so clearly thanks on your side, are you the campaign saying candidate for candidate, because that's what we got. okay. candidate for gannett, candidate. she has done more interviews in the short amount of time and really in a more diverse and the nor diverse tests of view from what they're not saying publicly on both on either side. i mean, i'm curious about how everybody sees this. >> i think a lot of the feeling is that this is a little too late, that she should have been doing this all along. and that because she hasn't stepped into this fray like her base was already activated the second that she was the nominee, they were so tired of joe biden. they were so excited really kamala harris probably should
12:25 am
have been doing this fox interview about two months ago and defining herself and right now, she's just really starting to define her because like what you're seeing is that she hasn't really been able to separate herself from biden, but they're dealing. >> she had to put together a whole campaign actually something that she had to deal with if you actually want to talk about like who's in full-blown panic, who has said no to the cnn debate, who said no. >> so news debate said notice 60 minutes. who is now not doing any kind of better for him, that trump is better for him because you're candidates that thank you. from this. obviously, he's going to make the decision i said candidate for candidate ours is doing more because when you're a candidate gets up there, have you seen let me let me york
12:26 am
hush up when you just get let me start. >> doesn't matter if i'm black-owned rad, just don't come you up. when you're a candidate speaks, it's an disciplined unhinged disrespectful, and it hurts him. so yes, less it's more is better, less trump is better for donald trump the problem is, the problem is, is that if he gets four more years, there's no more or less trump. actually, there's no more or less trump actually, ashley going to be the message for the harris-walz campaign push as long as you a serious question about her strategy. >> you seem to think that quantity is better than quality. and i know you couldn't possibly think that most of the things she has done in the last two weeks have been anywhere near helpful to the campaign 60 minutes was an abject disaster and the little 15 second thing on the view when she couldn't think of a single thing, she would have done different than biden was the single bulworth sound bite she has uttered in this campaign. >> so, so quantity let me ask
12:27 am
you this, okay. >> you make you a mean quality because you said she should have been doing more of this two months ago. so if she wasn't doing more of this, what would have been your talking point the problem is but what we're just trying to say is it doesn't matter which standard she needs if she if donald's he didn't even do a 60 minute interview so dog puts 60 minutes in my face, whether it was good for her or bad for you, do won't even go on on niche worst for it hyperbolic to say that 60 minutes was an abject exactly gracian issues along was it i mean, scott, let's let's be real for a second. i mean, there were answers that you didn't like. it does not mean that it was just a lots of voters hands to your point donald trump wasn't there that he didn't do it at all in that's not my god. tear the
12:28 am
fact that he didn't do 60 minutes actually looks worse. >> it looks weak. and the when he doesn't want to take a debate, it also looks weak, but at the end of the day, it is much worse for those voters who are on the fence to see more trump. >> there's some were trump is not going strategy. there's some more, is the right strategy and getting her out there as the right are coming out, hiding. your presidential candidate is the best the best hold on. >> that's not he's doing. he's done more campaign events than she has a b there's no hiding donalds, so he does plenty and people know plenty about him. and he is hyper competitive in this. >> there is some reporting tonight and reuters that the harris campaign is considering sitting down with brilliant idea. he's a really easy interviewer to joe rogan will look at you like you are. >> why do you make that now we know about the softballs
12:29 am
question. he'll sit on the couch. >> it would people like my brother who are 27-years-old and they're going to vote for trump because i like ben shapiro and joe rogan, maybe haven't listened to kamala harris for the first time? and thing that joe rogan spread hadn't started doing her media blitz you're talking point. >> what was why that was not sure. >> michael singleton we went anything why is she so afraid? >> and now that she's doing everything? oh, my god, the
12:30 am
campaign does desperate. >> this is a woman who is doing, is she's being very methodical. >> she is talking to voters that are gettable everywhere that they our at that is smart as a strategy and especially in such a constricted timeframe. and for you guys to go from she's hiding to now that she's desperate guys to meet tells me that it's you guys that there are ones that are afraid that donald trump is not closing the deal on what you guys to take a pause here, everyone i didn't know this would be that kind of conversation coming up next, donald trump and kamala harris are engaged in a war of words over each other's mental acuity. we're going to discuss that hunt tomorrow at five eastern look at a city saleable these men mean this with a silver spoon seating up the financial favors of the 1%. what would

trump and and kamala harris are in a warped argument, not about who is smarter, but about who is mentally fit the staff will let him do a 60 minutes interview every president for the last half century has done when anyone who's running for president everyone has done it except donald trump he will not debate me again i put out my medical records. he won't put his medical records and you have to ask, why is this staff doing that? >> and it may be because they think he's just not ready and unfit, unstable that's the democratic nominee earlier today and they followed a trademark truth tirade. this unhinged rant from donald trump. it was posted at one in the morning and demanded that harris take a cognitive test. the former president saying out loud without any evidence that
12:36 am
there could be something seriously wrong with her a little bit is acting there. >> it just reminds me know, the donald trump. >> i'm not i'm not a puppet. europe are looking i think i think a couple of things. >> number one, if i were harris, i wouldn't be leaning too heavily into who's hiding what kind of medical conditions winds of people who are want to be the president given her role in lying about the condition of joe biden for the last four years? that's number one. >> number two, i don't think this works for her. i think i'm i'm back in the same bucket i was earlier you're not selling your own candidacy. you're punching donald trump in the same way every other democrat we've ever heard from for the last 89 years has punched this guy. that's not the problem with your campaign. we've heard all the attacks on trump. >> if she cannot sell her own candidacy any better than just punching on him i'm for her if i were in her can't i just don't know. >> it's going to be enough.
12:37 am
that's my view. >> but here's what i think she's doing. i think they our a nimble campaign because they're doing it all. they are punching donald trump and i do think that's important because there's a lot of people that have forgotten what he was like during the four years that he was president. and now there was a new york times story actually about this, about how his rallies have become much more more unhinged, much darker, more dystopian. the lies, the insulting american cities, insulting americans people come out of those rallies and they're like, oh, my god, this guy is worse than i ever remember him being. i do think that's an important thing for for the campaign to recall and for americans to remember exactly what that was like. and that he's going to be worse if he gets the oval office seems to be really stuck on this himself. yeah. >> he is. let's play what he said tonight in pennsylvania about harris
12:38 am
and the worst vice president in the history of our country by far. and let me tell you, she is worse than him and he's actually i didn't think i'd ever say this about anybody. she's actually you take a look. she's more dangerous and him, but he's actually smarter than her. i'd never thought i'd say that i never thought i'd say that just before you jump in terror. >> i mean, the new york times also has a story a couple days ago, trump disparaged vice president kamala harris as retarded. he complained about the number of jews still backing ms harris saying they needed their heads examined for nazi according him, despite everything, he had done for the state of israel he seems incapable of thinking that she can be smart at all, right? >> he has this incredibly warped view of her that has been dispelled by the debate and other appearances and hurt her entire record in life and her great accomplishments, obviously but this is something he deeply believes and we've
12:39 am
known this for a long time, even before the debate. he just does not believe that he's she's smart and i think that he is seriously misunderstood seriously underestimating hurt to his own parallel because this is a very close race. and to think that your opponent is dm means you're playing reckless i mean, if i'm being honest, i mean, trump has a hard time thinking that women can do things better than hamas and black women in particular get this particular type of attack i mean he just take it. that was a debate stage that will get him taking the bait again, she she puts out her medical records and then he uses what, three appearances to talk about it, just like on the debate stage when she said about his crowd size and his volume went from here to here for the rest of the debate. but that behavior is not one of leadership. it is not one of control, it is not one of stability. it is not one that
12:40 am
should be the president united states. and so i hear you that it cannot just be leah, a bunch of punches on someone even though that's how you can get a knockout. how to. but it has to be, i'm going to knock you out and then i'm going to pivot and tell you this actually it works it works for some, it's not the full comprehensive winning strategy. but when you see somebody who then puts out on truth, social, or wherever you remember what it was like being in your bank et waking up in the morning and be like, what did he tweet today? and we do is wonder though, i mean, oftentimes you say people have forgotten. >> i don't know if i necessarily agree with that i mean, i've done a lot of qualitative work focus groups talking to voters. they know who trump is. they have their opinions about him i mean, but they, still say, but you know what i think he was better on this particular issue, whether it's the economy or immigration, they're willing to sort of, i wouldn't say dismiss, but overlook some of the things that we're talking about at the table. if i were
12:41 am
advising vice president harris, i get the point of just sort of counter punching your opponent, but people still don't know enough about her on some of those critical issues. and i think she would bold better to talk more about those things and said, oh, he won't release his medical record or he's always attacking me and my intelligence, he has a history of that, not just against the vice president, not only against women, against men who don't agree with him, whether or not the smartest guy in the way he did that. >> she put out a whole policy for black men today it's not a one one size fits that's what that's why point. this is kind of like what we were discussing when we started the show about trump and his continued use of totalitarian language on this, voters very clearly say that they don't think that he has the mental acuity to be president. 49% say that he's not mentally sharp enough to deal with the challenges of the presidency. that's compared to 55% who say the kamala harris is. so she's winning by a lot on this question. yet it's a
12:42 am
tied race it's a tied race and that's why i think that it is smart for her to continue to underscore this part because it is important for the president of the united states to be able to have the mental acuity to be president of the united states, and to have the kind of personality and frankly ethical and moral true north, which donald trump is completely devoid of. and i think that is another piece that it is very smart for the kamala harris campaign to continue to remind just to be lectured by democrats about, you have to have mental acuity to be the president united states, after what we just live through for the last for years acuity trump made it an issue so no, i think joe biden made it. >> can't complain that it's being weaponized against him, but he was the one who both of these candidates have more than enough people who believe they're up to the job, do
12:43 am
possibly win. i think that's true. but when democrats are who all oh, you included who all assured us that joe biden was riding unicycles and juggling knives in the oval office. >> when we know that wasn't true and harris was the chief cheerleader for that don't don't the lectures about the mental acuity come on contrast, donald trump, the one who is putting that on trust as a heck of a thing. and that's where we are right now in that race. everyone hold on. coming up next one person at this table has a mother in a swing state who is still an undecided voter and you're going to hear about it rainbow king it's like your generation has evolved past traditional political symbols. >> and there's room for everyone. >> yeah puke later point taken hers believes in a world where your health care isn't determined by where you live, what you do, or whether you have insurance. >> it's personalized to your unique needs that's why we create he didn't weight loss by hur's 100% online access to

12:48 am
podcast with her own mom to find this out. the first time i didn't vote >> oh, yeah. i guess it was a family secret because you didn't want upset, daddy, by not telling him that you voted i voted for biden. so you know the i that's why i probably thought that the family folklore was the night you voted the other way because i don't tell them i voted hill it's just one of several secrets. i mean, she also voted for trump. >> i know in 2020 who that's not the typical reverse, right? it's trump-biden and she said, well, because she thought that biden was too old, and so i guess she was entirely wrong, but my mom has a very interesting voting pattern. >> she wasn't immigrant she became an american to vote for george bush twice. then she voted for obama twice, and you voted for hillary. then she voted for trump, and now she lives in north carolina and she is undecided, although she says she's leaning towards kamala harris. but after talking to my mom for about 40 minutes, what i came to realize is that i
12:49 am
don't think that harris campaign has done enough to talk to people like my mother and explain to them how it's going to be different than the biden administration. and as much as my mom is completely horrified by january 6, trump's behavior, the chaos and why it makes sense for kamala harris to keep bringing up his terrible behavior the day she agrees with trump on a lot of the issues and she wants to change candidate. but except for roe versus wade, as she just really wants to see some she wants to see a divide between harris and biden on the economy. she wants to see it. >> let me play a little bit from yolanda on the economy. listen they make is that kamala, you and joe biden have been running the country for the past four years. >> my money doesn't go very far. inflation is high, so it's like pocketbook issues. >> it's hard for a middle class person to save money because even to buy a car these days, everything is so
12:50 am
expensive. do you feel like the economy is getting better? >> i personally, i'm doing okay. ok-ish. but it is costing me my pocketbook is getting you know, i have less money. >> that's the real that's true. and she, i mean, there's a lot more to it, but she doesn't like most things about trump. but this is the thing that she is kind of stuck on in the 22 days. if the harris campaign listens to scott and jd yes. runs down the field and talks about her economic opportunity economy, talks about maybe pulls a little sunlight between joe biden and kamala harris. i don't think that there's anything wrong with saying. i'm a different person. she is she's allowed to have her own view and ideology and it lands this racist hur's like it is tied right now because your mom is still waiting for that that information. the good news is
12:51 am
for kamala harris is that she's still waiting for it. so in these 22 days, if she can go on joe rogan, go on to fox news bowed to roll in show. >> we talk about that my brother makes her listen to joe rogan he can hit those places for your mom might not expect, but then hear exactly what she wants. >> i getting information and that's the problem my mom has also getting a lot of disinformation. >> she was sending me so many texts her friends are telling her crazy conspiracy theories. a lot of them are pro-trump. she lives in an evangelical community in the suburbs of charlotte and also the other point that i feel like i want to make about this and my mom is that, you know, she really doesn't care for trump. i think she she really doesn't play a little bit more just yeah. your point. people understand. here's what she said about trump's first-term trump was president was pretty scary. you know, we had a lot
12:52 am
of civil unrest, right? we had covid he had a swinging door with his cabinet. >> we had the riots that those things are not you know, they don't bode well, i still remember them. they still it's still all clear there, you know, in my mind what happened then. >> so i don't i don't think i'd want him based on that. but then i'm not like crazy about her either. she just, she thinks that she needs to be convinced that kamala harris is not the most liberal person to ever run for president. and based on what she has said in 2019 it's hard for her to separate the new kamala harris from that person. >> so i think the good news is, is that everything that kamala harris has put forward is very solutions-oriented to what people are looking for right now. it goes further than anything that the biden administration did to focus on the issues that people are looking for, lowering costs, making sure that they can pay a mortgage, that they can buy a house, that they can start a small business that their
12:53 am
pocket book will expand policy or the sales job that's the issue here. i'm i'm curious, feels it feels like company will also why didn't she do it? >> i mean, she's the sitting vice president. you can't it's hard. it's hard. it's hard to take her out of the mix because she's currently in the office and i a suspect look, by the way, there'll be millions of people who don't like donald trump and who have some worries, but who are going to vote for him you don't have to love every politician you've over. heck, i don't i mean, most of them i don't love. but you wind up asking yourself directionally. my preference is x or my preference is why and i'm not going to love this person, but if they move the country, nudge it the direction that i prefer, i'm able to get over some humps, so all right. >> everyone stick with me coming up next. our panel will give their night caps, including a take on saturday night live and christopher columbus >> do they have life insurance know? but we have life insurance john i'm trying to

back and it's time for the news night nightcap. you each have 30 seconds to say your piece. tara, europe. >> okay. so i am not sure how long this trump and elon musk bromance is going to last for especially since trump left him with one of the most important parts of campaigning, which is a ground game. and elon musk has hired the santos's old team, which basically botch the ground game in iowa. it's spending $6,700 per vote. and they still came up 30 points short. and so far, based on my reporting, they have been struggling even having to hire new canvassers in august and september. so if he loses the ground game in this knife fight election is because of elon musk i don't expect them to be doing dancing videos anytime soon three look, thank god. tim walz was selected because he was supposed to help vice president harris rural white voters, hunters. and we saw a video of the guy struggling to load his shotgun and democrats, he's an avid hunter. he has a ton of guns. he couldn't load a 400. i have one of those. its mossburg basic guns, semi-automatic, easy to load. and then he said, you see this little thing here, because when
