8:00 pm
she killed it. so we love you tyra, i, you know what? i think people there's going to be this is my hot take people have been coming for tyra, but i think that she is a trailblazer and everybody we all have flaws, but she deserves her flowers for doing what she has done for so many years. and then for coming back coming back, it's not easy to come back and in the fashion industry at a woman at 50 and say like i loved the body that i'm in and i'm proud of it's a real message for women. all people all around the country loved the body that i wonder when i'm in campbell had to say about it yeah. >> now, we love niamey i was like i was like beef i was wondering, you know, if there naomi tonight, donald trump gets himself a new nickname, the father of ivf you heard that
8:01 pm
right? inside the re-brand. he is trying to pull off last kamala harris speaks to black voters directly explaining why she thinks trump is appealing to black men and why she thinks they should be fooled and senator ted cruz debates congressman colin already in a high stakes texas showdown there's some democrats wondering is ted cruz on the verge of losing his senate seat made a reward, joins me tonight on laura coates live day, the countdown is upon us and the camp campaigns. they very much know that time is running out. they probably had this ingrained in the brain these days. more than 5 million ballots have already been cast all across the nation. and that number is going to climb day by day and look at this just in battleground, georgia today, look at that number. there was a single day record for early
8:02 pm
voting, more than 300,000 voters just in, out of georgia tonight. a judge, there has temporarily blocked a rule that would have required counties to count the ballots by hand. that's a major blow to the trump back election board that did pass that very rule. but make no mistake about it. the pressure is certainly on and the campaigns, they are both feeling it because tonight we saw both of them trying to win over. sometimes win back key voters who may very well decide this razor-tight race. for donald trump. it was women in battleground, georgia he taped an all women town hall there for fox news. clearly a response to polls showing women breaking for kamala harris and a big way. he called himself the father of ivf. and the second time i've said it doesn't seem any less odd, but he said the father of ivf more on that in just a moment for
8:03 pm
harris though today was about trying to prevent black men from checking a different box for trump. her forum, a radio town hall in detroit with charlamagne. long gone. are those days when she didn't even say trump's name? no. today she called trump week, called him unfit. and at one point offered this assessment of why she thinks trump has been able to make some gains part, of the challenge that i face is that they are trying to scare people away because they know they otherwise have nothing to run on as donald trump, what his plan is for black america i ask him there was also a very interesting part of the interview that may have gone unnoticed, but don't worry, we have it for you here. it was when charlemagne asked harris about the way she handles interviews well, one thing name is saying a lot of your proceeds get criticized, folks that you come off as a very scripted. they say you like to
8:04 pm
stick to your talking points and some media says you had that will be called discipline. oh, okay. but what do you say to people who say you stay on and talking points? >> i would say you're welcome waiting to be made look, voters will judge for themselves that they think she's too guarded or scripted or not authentic enough, whatever they may say. >> but you just heard her she thinks her stick to the script philosophy and approach is actual asset when compared to the man she's running against, who frankly today sounded like this during an interview at the economic forum in chicago people like street journal, he's hardly a communist organization, have a, you don't have criticized you on this as well. >> you are running up enormous death. >> what does the wall street journal now meeting with him tomorrow? what does the wall street journal? they've been wrong about everything. so of you, by the way you've been wrong about trying to turn this. you got to be able to finish a thought because it's very important, you know, this is big stuff we're talking
8:05 pm
about. you can't go that. >> don't let so let me just tell you so i said no, i'm just telling you basic. >> it's called the wave. it's joining me now, white house correspondent for new york times, zolan kanno youngs republican tragic. >> liam donovan, and democratic strategist and misha cross grad, glad to have you all here. i mentioned him. begin with you because it was more than an hour, franklin and an in-depth conversation between charlamagne, tha god, and collars and vice president kamala harris. she sounded confident people believe and they are giving her some praise for the actual conversation. but what do you take away from it? how did she do in your mind? >> he thought she did really well and to be honest with you coming into this, i did not have a lot of faith. just charlemagne has historically not been that kind two, we know that he wasn't that kind of joe biden, but we also know that he drove a lot of the conversation around black men pushing towards looking somewhere else. and i think that at this point in this point in the election cycle, it matters to talk about the issues that matter to black man, why they are where they
8:06 pm
are, why many of them were considering either voting think for trump are sitting this race out entirely. >> and i think she went into those things specifically around questions about her record of law enforcement when she was in when she was in california questions about particularly what that opportunity economy means for black americans, specifically black men, questions about what that would mean for them, what her policies mean for this specifically, because they think one of the things black men have been dying to hear, not just from her, but from the democratic party writ large is what are you all doing for us because what we know is that from statistics, when it comes to housing, when it comes to education, when it comes to employment, black man have gotten the short end of the stick for generations in this country, the democratic party does have something that they owe this think it'll group because they do vote for them in large part only a few percentage points behind black women, which is the largest demographic black people in general have given the democratic party multiple votes and have been the sizable key majority to their electoral wins for years now. so i do think that the questions that were asked were very formidable as it relates to, you know,
8:07 pm
marijuana legislation, things like like that, things that matter to the black community. but more specifically, things that lack of man are honing in on zolan. >> when we look at the details that were given, there's obviously the platitudes that can be said and i want to put on the screen for a second the different media outlets has been happening in this final stretch of the campaign with 21 days to go. i mean, look at the assortment of different interviews are happening after wonder about who they targeted audience is, of course, last night i talked to integration man, who is part of the campaign and he said, they're not going to concede a single voter to trump. that's what they're trying to look at and had the whole landscape. but in terms of details in me, she was talking about and what's desired. did she make the case have the details been given about what specifically what one can do to achieve the objective she's talking about things that was definitely the the attempt going into the interview. she did outline these policy proposals that she released this week that would be geared towards issuing loans to black entrepreneurs. she talked about lowering housing costs as well, which we know is has fueled a lot of economic frustration in recent years so
8:08 pm
she didn't present policy proposals. i mean, i was struck in this attempt to lobby black voters and specifically black men. and we know that black men have been one of the more reliable voting blocks for democrats but, you that democrats are increasingly concerned about waiver burning support according to polls. but they have been reliable, reliable. second two black woman i was struck by in her lobbying for the difference in her tone from former president barak obama last week, there wasn't a lot of admonishing in this interview it was more so trying to outline proposals and she did say aye need to earn your vote. she tried to do that with a specific focus on the economy which we know has been a political vulnerability for this administration as well as outlining other policies such as addressing housing and legalizing marijuana as well. >> the tone is well, she did sharpen her attacks against trump. i mean, she does have a stark contrast between obama and what she said. and frankly
8:09 pm
obama appears to be the outlier, the way the campaign for harris is already approached. their conversations about black men, but listen to the way in which she has been speaking about trump specifically lamb, listen the man is really quite weak he's week it's a sign of weakness that you want to please dictators and seek. there flattery and favor. donald trump is about taking us backward. >> others, about fascism what can we just say? it yes, we can say that is achieving his intended effect to make you scared land. the tone is different. obviously, struck me about sweetness. the polling suggests that voters think that he is strong compared to harris. she's pointing out targeted portions of what i think the election dread at least the polls of likely voters just are showing, is this an effective strategy that you think will be motivating for the persuadable voters? >> well, it's two things going on right here. number one, we've seen this from the from the debate onward. the campaign
8:10 pm
and harris in particular has been exceptional at trolling trump at every turn, tried to turn his strengths and weaknesses this is, and trying to pick at things that he will react to him, provoke him into doing or saying something that makes him the self the center of attention. so i think that's part of it. the other piece of this is the growing gender gap in the split-screen of trump going to georgia to talk to women and kamala harris going to shore up a strong voting bloc for her at a time when the gender gap is growing while the racial polarization is actually gradually kind of, at least if the poles are correct is sort of coming to is coming a little bit closer, but to the question of going after weakness and strength, i think that's something that you could point to win the appeal of trump, two men, particularly hispanic men, african american men. so i think that's the key there. it's trying to go in there and try to keep that leakage to trump as limited as possible. >> well, before you answer this question, i do want you to talk about this all because i i i can't get enough of the fact that trump called himself the
8:11 pm
father of ivf. i just can i just say it again? he is saying that he is the father of ivf. this is a i've taped town hall with fox news is going to air tomorrow, and he says that he was a father of ivf and also acknowledged by the way that some state abortion restrictions are quote, too tough and are going to be redone just think about this period of time before the election, how pivotal in issue abortion has been traditionally in modern american political history. and for him to now say this aspect of it, it's very, very strange. >> reproductive rights has been one of the sort of pit, one of the pivotal muslim foreign issues in this election and this election cycle we know that democrats also are putting an emphasis on it, and we know that republicans are specifically the trump and the trump campaign haven't been able to have a straight answer on it, right? it really has stoked anxiety throughout republican circles and this campaign right wing about this, by the way. >> what do you think
8:12 pm
absolutely. >> i think that at the end of the day will we see with women's reproductive rights, is that republicans have lost time and time again when it has been at the top of the ballot, they know that this is something that they are behind the times on. and i think that for donald trump, even though he with a wink and a nod, a point that people to the supreme court two, he knew would overturn roe. he is saying that he's going to turn it back over to the states because that's somehow relinquishes power from the fed even though he already put people in place to destroy it. so it's created a patchwork of very dangerous things across this country were women are trying to figure out what type of money they had to put together to travel to other states what what the state will allow them to do up to including deadly how, how lo does it take you to die before they will try to save you? i think that at this point it is him trying to run back the clock on some of the things that he's already put in motion, but also understanding that women's reproductive rights is something that republicans are losing on majorly. so we see him trying to shape shift in real time. >> the fact that he also got a question about reproductive rights as well in this town
8:13 pm
hall with a crowd that was applauding for him pretty energetically throughout, but he got a question from somebody in the crowd about this as well. it just shows how this issue is resonating important kind of a cross party lines as well. >> well, it's also because 4% of the voting electorate is women. women obviously this is one of their top issues regarding carlos what political side you happen to be on, but he recognizes that he has never pulled very well with women. this is one that he has literally dug himself in the whole four when he also understands that the party generally he doesn't have strong feelings about these things. he understands the party generally is out of step with where most voters aren't. >> so why, which is why she came out and made some interesting, couldn't but if you try to think about what the heck is he talking about father? have you ever stuff if you go back to when the initial decision came down in alabama, he was the first to realize this is terrible for me. i need to go out there and fix this and that's what he did the next day was tell the legislature, you better fix this now. and sure enough, they did. as far as trump is concerned, history started when he heard about the issue. so i think that's where father by the icc, if i just look at father of ivf is something different? >> dented today, you've been had some handed you know, it gives details, details.
8:14 pm
>> they've spent on me. ask you though, about i mean, i think so, but me ask you this because there is a news interview tomorrow with bret baier on fox news. i'm curious to hear your stance on this particular because trump is now claiming that fox news has lost its way after announcing that particularly they're interviews actually her first time on fox news. and she may be doing a joe rogan podcast. we're getting some murmurings about of that. what does this say to you that she would be going on with bret bair? >> well, i mean, all these things tell you that the campaign is determined at this point that the risks are worth taking, whether it's going on rogan, whether it's going toe to toe so with bear, whether it's going into charlemagne and which was you know, real sparring in there they know she has to do a little bit more. she has to pass this threshold. people know how they feel about donald trump. they're not quite sure on her. they're giving her a chance and aren't against her yet, but she needs to clear that threshold. so going in and getting independents and republicans, i think that's an important thing. >> i mean, for the campaign, i can see i can understand what they're going for reminds me
8:15 pm
of having liz cheney go out what the vice president you know, there are conservatives out there that are getting tired of the rhetoric of a former president and they're going to try to make an appeal for those voters i also think this interview as well as the clip you played earlier on charlemagne where she agreed with his assertion that trump's view and vision for the country represents fascism. i just remember covering vice president harris when she came into the administration. i know she says its discipline, but her aides and allies also thought that she was overly cautious at one point in public. and when she would deliver speeches and go out, that she that she wasn't as willing to take as many risks and go on the offensive. i see this interview as well as the fox news interview as almost starting to follow the advice that aides had called for to show the person that they see behind closed doors or the person they described to me that they would see behind closed doors. and now go on the offensive in public with only weeks left. >> we 21 to 21 days away again, almost may have already cast or
8:16 pm
more have cast their ballots already. that record number in georgia will see how it all works out. everyone stay with me. we got more to talk about. >> look, she knew and worked for president trump and now she says he's cognitively impaired, and unfit for office omarosa joins a snack and later could senator ted cruz really be at risk of losing his seat inside tonight's high-stakes debate and why democrats think a major upset may be brewing tomorrow it for cnn this think gave me my life back 110 pounds and lumen is little device that you breed into that gives you a real-time reading on your metabolism in create a customized nutritional plan for the day i lost 45 pounds. >> it's been 25 years since i weighed what i way right now, if you're struggling, try this you're worth it once special

8:21 pm
again. >> and just last night, he stayed on stage at his own town hall and dance for nearly 40 minutes he says is because there were people who needed medical attention in the crowd and many, he started playing the music and quote, just kept her going. then hours later at about 12:42 a.m. eastern, he took to truth social to write this about his medical records quote, i've put out more medical exams and any other president in history and aced to cognitive exams. he also attacked harris for having allergies but back the dance party for a second because democrats they can't seem to wrap their heads around that just listen to what president biden and governor tim walz had to say about it today. >> he stood on the stage for 30 minutes and danced
8:22 pm
this guy? we need to go out to people and say what you stand for because right now, oh, i don't know donald trump's dance into ymca. i think i'll vote for him. hell, no, hell, no joining me now, former senior advisor donald trump, omarosa manigault, newman. she's just endorsed kamala harris. she's also the author of unhinged that the word we're hearing a lot when harris talking about trump or we're not overrode that she may have read your book? i don't know so you were there in 2016. it gets allies. have you ever seen anything like what he did last time man standing out there for 39 minutes just take in the music i have to tell you that that was probably one of the most bizarre displays i've ever seen from donald trump. and i've known him since 2003. it really just shows that donald trump has nothing to say to america. he has nothing to offer to america all he has to
8:23 pm
offer is weird weighing and dancing and at a time like this in this nation, we need more than just that. and he cannot deliver. >> that's an important point that you raised that everyone's talking about the dancing and how audit is what you're right to think about. i've got 38 minutes of a captive audience who are there to see me, hear that there to hear me talk. >> and i could be going on the offense. i could be critical criticizing. i could be talking about pauses that can do all these things, but instead i'm doing the y and ca and that just seems very ad waste of political capital. 21 days before the election. but you wrote back in your memoir back in what, 2018, that you thought trump was showing signs signs of mental decline. that's a pretty serious accusation how does that trump compare the one you see now when i talked to in unhinged about how when we were in the boardroom for the apprentice, donald could come up with these very complicated figures. he could stand there and recall all of the details of a deal and he would share
8:24 pm
those with us. and too as time went on, particularly when i observed him in the first year when we were in the white house donald was unable to recall basic figures. he would forget the name of his cabinet members. he would forget key details of policy issues that we were talking about as we were preparing for him to go out on stage, this it was after he was briefed, just moments before that was in 2018. let's talk about what we're observing right now in 2024. the reason donald trump is canceling these interviews is that when he starts to stumble, he starts to pivot. he wants to talk about you. he'll start attacking you, laura, instead of talking about policy issues because he can't recall what they are, he cannot repeat consistently his position on key issues like the economy, like crime, or immigration that are key issues to voters that's what you're seeing in his decline right now. but he's been fixated, as you know, on this idea yeah of
8:25 pm
a cognitive test and he says that he has taken a view, says that he is aced it by the way, and we listened to what he said just today, omarosa i took two cognitive tests and i aced him both. i think that frankly the people regardless, should take if they're 50 or 40. but i would love to see cognitive test. i don't think she could pass a cognitive test okay. >> so he says that, but then he refused this actually release his medical records. why do you think that really is is it is it part of a discussion i reject these political norms, not do what i want i do, or you think there's more there there there there. >> let's recall that donald trump dictated the letters that went out about his medical history, but doctors weren't free to write what they want. >> they were free to write what was really seen in those evaluations. >> donald trump dictated if for every single doctor from his original doctrine, 2015 to ronny jackson to the doctors
8:26 pm
that came on after that. the one thing about donald trump is that you will never see the truth about his weight, about his health. i think that reporters should start asking different questions, very specific questions. i think they should ask about his health in terms of his heart. they should ask has donald trump ever had any issues with, for instance, has he ever had a stint i think a journalist should ask that and see if they'll answer the true question. has he had any blockage in his heart wonder if they'll give true answers about that because donald trump will never tell the truth about something the health issues that his camp knows that he faces and i think if you ask maybe they'll tell the truth, but the truth is that they've been covering things up and they have not been forthright with this country and the nation needs to know what his true health status is. and we have not been getting that laura. >> well, kristen welker asked that of speaker johnson, not the specificity you describe. this this past sunday and i think the response was respect
8:27 pm
to cholesterol, the american voters don't care about donald trump's cholesterol and he wanted to talk about and pivot in a different direction. but certainly i think electorate, the members, they do want to know about the overall health of a candidate going forward. you have served in both democratic and republican administration. you're now embracing yes. kamala harris and i'm curious because we see this in terms of just what's happened, but say a liz cheney and beyond is the endorsements you're giving a vote for harris or a vote against trump? >> well at first i was going to just kind of stay neutral, go into the voting booth and vote privately for kamala harris because i'm a journalist as well, and i have to in some way be objective. >> but the more than i see from donald trump and particularly the fact that he he just continues to spew hate and division decision and he has all these grievances, but he doesn't have any solution. >> and i listened and i study
8:28 pm
the plan that kamala harris has put forth and more importantly, her being truthful and honest enough, fendik, and willing to do the work to improve this country. i couldn't stay on the sideline anymore. i had to speak gov and endorse someone that i believe that will move this nation in the right direction. and that's kamala harris certainly not donald trump last question here quickly. >> i understand that trump says that he's going to work the fry cooker at mcdonald's in pennsylvania this weekend, i had to tell you, firstly, i just i think it's hello, offensive to use mcdonald's employees and the jobs they are doing as some sort of political gimmick, as a suggest that you're going to dirty your hands. you're going to do what they do for a short amount of time to show that you're relevant, relatable to the people i've worked so many different jobs in my life that if somebody tried to use what i have done as a as a gimmick, it would really me off. but you think he's going to do it
8:29 pm
absolutely anything and i just want to caution america right now that donald trump is a con man and he's trying to con you rather that's going into mcdonald's and working rise. >> rather that's saying that he's the father of ivf. >> i mean, he will say anything. >> but we need to rely on common sense reasoning and life experiences when we make our decision about who should lead this nation? >> omarosa. thank you so much for joining me thank you, laura. well, senator ted cruz from texas, obviously he's got to go and toe to toe with the man looking to unseat him. he did that tonight. >> could rep. >> colin all all-red actually, pull it off alaska cruises last challenger because better reward is with me after this before election day, vice president harris the spaces voters, and takes to pressing questions, lie. anderson cooper

8:36 pm
happened on january 6, 2021 and he begins just by saying, hey, ted, you know, you can't be for the mob that rioted and was part of this insurrection. >> and for the police officers who they attacked and then ted cruz, as he often does starts to smirk and smile and laugh about one of the greatest threats that this country, our democracy has ever faced and call him gets in his face and he says, this isn't funny. and the look on cruises face in response, there was there was real fear someone had finally plea put this guy in his place, and i felt like the rest of the debate just followed suit, whether it was the border reproductive health care and abortion. what ted cruz did when our face when our, when our state faced one of its greatest challenges when the lights went out, power stopped running 700 texans died, and he went to the ritz carlton and can can texas calling all read
8:37 pm
was just dominant. i loved it let's play for the audience who may not have seem that portion of it that moment we talked about january 6. >> listen you can't be for the mob on january 6 and for the officers, you can't and it's not funny because you're a threat to democracy mean that moment is pretty startling and frankly, this hasn't gotten the biggest national attention this particular race. but the issue of january 6 certainly has the issue of how it's viewed by candidates and combatants in those members of the electorate as well and beyond, very taken, very, very seriously and you lost to ted cruz it's in 2018, but by just a couple of percentage points, i'm wondering what has changed between then and now that could make crews more vulnerable. is the reaction he's had to january 6 are the things that already has pointed out or something else two big things have changed. a when i ran

against ted cruz, he was really a blowhard, an empty seat, famous for shutting down the united states government for weeks in an effort to strip people of healthcare trying to end obamacare or the aca now he is the guy who was in part responsible for that attempt to overthrow a democratically, fairly legally decided election, inciting that mob. and then as calling out red pointed out hiding in a supply closet while that mob that he incited stormed the capitol, didn't this, this is a guy we fled the state at our moment of greatest need that the contrast between the two of them could not be greater. the other thing that's changed is we have a world-class candidate on the ticket right now calling all read the most bipartisan member of congress from the state of texas, a guy who beat and entrenched incumbent republican pete sessions in 2018 to get to this position. someone whose distinguished himself by helping everyday texans when ted cruz was at the
8:39 pm
ritz-carlton and canned call, not all read was literally on the ground helping people get food, get water, gets warming centers. when ted cruz was hiding in that supply closet, calm already had taken his jacket off on the house floor and rush to where the insurrection objection is. we're trying to storm this bastion of our democracy. so when, when voters in our state seated contrast between these two, i think the choice is very clear and they're going to have a better opportunity to do that now that call an all-red is raising so much money. he's outraised the incumbent senator. i think the last reporting period, 30 the 22 million those dollars turn into ads to mailers to an opportunity to reach those voters were going to decide the outcome of this. and laura, i think the secret weapon in this election are these young voters that we've been meeting on college campuses across the state of texas, getting registered, getting them on the roles, and now turning them out there and no owens polling universe, they're on, nobody's radar. and if they come out, as i think they will,
8:40 pm
they could be the margin of victory for colin all-red and produce the first democratic senate victory in the state since 1988 and give democrats the best chance of at least getting to a 50-50 split in the senate. the only place didn't go on offense is in texas and it's calling already the younger voters in particular very impactful and tragic. certainly should know that. but on the money part you're right. all right. his murray has raised more money than crews. and in fact, cruz has talked about the need for more funding, at least on fox news, as soon as yesterday chuck schumer has been explicit. i'm as number one target in the country chuck schumer and george soros are flooding over 100 million into the state of texas. i'm getting pounded every day. we had a poll just come out yesterday, showed it as a one-point race and we're getting viciously outspent and so i'm so appreciative of your viewers first go into ted cruz.org. ted cruz.org, and contributing 25 bucks, 50, 100
8:41 pm
maybe somebody given 500 500,000, but go to ted cruz.org because when you've got a $100 million, wild-eyed liberals that want to buy texas $100 million. on the other side is dangerous. so please come to tennis crews crews.org, ted cruz.org. i need your help and support at ted cruz.org i think he wants to go to ted cruz at org. >> i mean, you mentioned his website six times and that one interview what do you make of these pleas that tell you he's nervous or the impact of money in politics? >> this guy is absolutely flailing and by his own admission, he's within a point of colin already. i mean, this is the closest senate race in the country's far as i know. and again, the best pickup opportunity for democrats, it's really all the people who've been going to call them all red.com and donating 25, 50 bucks it's at a time that have allowed call on to have a real shot at winning and it's not just for texas as you know. i mean, this impacts the entire
8:42 pm
country. it's the balance of power in the senate. it's the future of abortion and access to reproductive health care. it's a fact that our state leads the nation in school shootings right now, two years after uvalde nothing has changed in texas. we have a chance to elect a common sense senator from the state of texas and calm all all-red, who will represent and fight for every single one of us. i'm feeling so optimistic and hopeful, especially after tonight's debate 22 days to go. and i know that we can get it done. and just so proud of column for what he did tonight. and so looking forward to permanently retiring, ted cruz back to that ritz carlton and canned is very clear, he will never live that trip down, congressman, beto o'rourke. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you, laura. >> my panel is back with me now, zolan, let me ask is there some kind of a fever dream or is texas really in play for democrats? >> i mean, the partially because of a works performance last time around, democrats are
8:43 pm
optimistic, but man, they face a real, they face a tough challenge here. just when you look at the name recognition that the senator has that sander cruz has here and i believe that optimism has also in sort of a sense of urgency to see the democratic party polling. our polling shows as well at the new york times that republicans do have an edge right now and are poised to retake control of the senate. this is one of those races that they are looking towards as a way to try and maintain some sort of majority. i also have to say that that interview with crews on fox news it did remind me of senator lindsey graham. yes. jamie harris, harrison, and it was a tight race graham was also or was tight polling. he was down in terms of money. he did that interview when out asked for fundraising and he did see some investment company is still a senator, by the way on that point it's easy to kind of extrapolate to what this might mean in the greater race. do you think that tech i mean, the presidential race do you think that texas is really going to be a swing-state? you
8:44 pm
think that trump or harris is viewing it as such, you would have to be a swing state four already to have any have any chance. i mean, this is about democrats shopping for a back door route to the senate majority. they need to clean to 50 some way if you look at, there's 34 seats the map democrats are defending 23 of them. and if you look at what's up there for republicans, are among republicans, nobody else's vulnerable, so they have to go for this. they have no real choice unless we wake up and there's a big shock across the map, could ted cruz going to be a center for the next six years? >> what do you think? misha, i think what the demographics of texas it should have been blue a long time ago, but texas because had severe gerrymandering, they have some severe voter rights restrictions. >> and at the end of the day, there are voter registration, particularly in the communities of color and the communities that were largely lean democratic. we just aren't seeing those numbers. i think that what we're seeing from colin allred is one hell of a trial and he's doing an amazing job in his campaign. but i fear that is going to turn out the same way that we saw south carolina. in my estimation, chasing after texas at this point because they aren't where they are in the voting electorate is fool's
8:45 pm
gold well, we'll see what happens. >> fool's gold because reference, which is called texas t though, right that's, that's, that's the oil as reference from the beverly hillbillies i can do the whole thing through right now, but i won't thank you, everyone. maybe i will share of the commercial. we've heard from politicians. we've heard from the experts now, it's time to hear from the people and to do that, we're going to a cornerstone in the black community, the barbershop our battleground, barbara's tells us that what they're hearing from the folks who chairs, it might surprise you. that's next >> hot dog is not a sandwiched between brands. >> can i weigh in on this debate with department of agriculture generally defined sandwiches as meat between bread or a ban what about subs? >> you mean no way. i'm going to give you this designer bag. if you can prove to me that you know your finances, let's do it. how many subscriptions do you have? >> probably just netflix and

8:51 pm
was the bait it show people that regardless what we heard about certain people. >> you had to seek be itself and a lot of people saying that wasn't what he was about harris, there's a little more than what we thought what was it about the debate that made you think that either was not who you thought they were. >> well, the questions that will add trump never stayed on topic he the bird he wanted to pretty much name call while perez was 50 to the point as well as it him with some questions that he told not to ask so jean, let me ask you because you're also supporting harris. i understand. but before biden dropped out, it sounded like, you and your clients were maybe apathetic about the election. why was that? >> yeah. i having me of course or before biden dropped out, i'm gonna be honest what you have any the talk i've heard was, you know, individuals, it didn't feel
8:52 pm
that he was really physically capable of really leading in a capacity that we need them too with what's at stake so g, when you had that initial impression, then of course, we know by and that type of top of tick a longer than when you knew harris is going to step up and be now top of the ticket. did that make you and your clients want to lean in more or were you still hesitant about? politics? still you know, it wasn't hesitant at all. >> i mean, i built that kamala was definitely prepared, definitely qualify for the job at hand i mean, you know, you're going to have clients that, you know, feel otherwise you? know. >> for various reasons, but i wholeheartedly felt that she could handle the job at hand, maybe on a daily basis, both of you have a kind of focus group that political strategists would dreamed to have one-on-one conversations. >> and as part of a group, really understanding what makes
8:53 pm
people tick, what they're most concerned? turned about me, bring you in on this part, david g, obviously weigh in here. but when people sit down in your barber chair, i do wonder, what are the issues they are talking about? what is top of mind? you've got this harris campaign opportunity plan for black men, where she's outlining different aspects of how she feels. she can be uplifting, particularly now mickley is that in line with what you're hearing from the people who are sitting with you well yeah, that's a line, but that's mainly what we talked about. >> we talked about miami economic issues. no jobs, minimum wage being raised that, you know things on a more basic street level police brutality, police presence you know, that'd be a lot more of our topics. but definitely hurt including a black man in her speech. definitely gives up another reason that the deceased qualified to be a
8:54 pm
leader. >> i one more question for both of you, and that is there has been a lot of topics and conversations about black men specifically feeling left behind, black male feel like men feeling as though the focus has not been on them. it's been either on women or that the difference from campaigns have not been focusing on their unique an independent needs are you hearing that? are you getting a sense from your clientele that they feel that way? and if so, what do you think would bridge that gap? >> that's pretty much glossed over. i agree even as a community, we all pretty much talk about it because it's like man, we just talked to live with it and move on. don't don't cry about it. you know, go out there and it's show improved and that'll be your work right there. don't wait for nobody to give give it to you. >> so it is a topic, but it is not really a hot topic.
8:55 pm
>> and like i said, for her to even mentioned me and being on the time of her live black man's badly it gives us her bm at pregnancy gi give you the last word on this. are you feeling that your client and tell feel as though politically they're left behind or ignored the honest with you, i have not heard that laura i actually would say that sure how many years, you know man in general black man men in general have have definitely been at the forefront of a lot of the policies and topics and such and they've been leading the country since we've had a president why guys and then president obama and now we've got african-american woman, you know, at the, at the table now,
