they think will be a long struggle militarily against the west in conjunction with iran and china, by the way, the axis of cash as is mobilizing for a long struggle against us and we're not mobilizing for the long struggle against them. so that assessment is a pretty bleak one, at least at this stage. >> yeah. i mean, it's kind of amazing that if north korea is sending forces to ukraine that you're not just hearing european leaders screaming from the rooftops about this. >> it's, it's remarkable will reporting josh rogin. thanks for helping us break it all down anytime. thank you so much for joining us. the news continues right here on cnn news record turnout, polls, just closing in georgia after the first day of early voting. the number of voters showing up today, higher than ever so what does it mean? and more breaking news this hour, kamala harris sitting down with the popular radio host charlemagne tha god, is her message directly to black voters were charlemagne tonight working and for all the

rivera is my guest. it's called trump, a friend he said he's done great things, but tonight, for all those storing his support behind harris, tell you why. let's go outfront >> i'm erin burnett and outfront tonight we begin with the breaking news polls just closing in georgia. and it was a record breaking day on the first day of early voting in that crucial state. so the georgia secretary of state, gabriel sterling, just telling out front that more than 300,000 people cast a ballot today, which crushes the previous record set four years ago of 136,000. now this video, we'll show you here, shows going the other direction. so our producers driving this way. the long line of cars waiting to pull into an early voting site tonight, both campaigns are trying to read the tea leaves here because it is a crucial battleground state road to the white house runs through georgia for both harris and trump, which is why trump is there tonight holding an event in atlanta? harris is going on

saturday for a rally. one of her top surrogates has already been their foreign president bill clinton this week to campaign and supporters have now booked $31 million in ads in georgia, $7.1 million more than trump, all in it's an incredibly huge amount of money in these final days. wherever you vote will matter. i mean, you remember 10,770 votes, right? i mean, but when you look at how tight the race is already projected to be this time the latest poll has harris at 46%, 45% for trump cnn was at a polling station in buckhead neighborhood outside atlanta, which is traditionally been a conservative area. and here's what our producers and reporters saw today, is that abortion and immigration, where some of the key issues that had people coming out could go either way. here's what one voter told our nick valencia so what i hear on the news, all the talk about immigrants doing this and that, and all of the negative took it breaks my heart because i have two daughters and i have to step

sons. >> and, you know, we contribute a lot to america you can perhaps guess the way her vote went, but long lines, lots of people and it's unclear tonight immigration is front and center at trump's rally. look at what is playing on the screens where he will be speaking very different than what you just heard. this one saying your new apartment managers, if kamala was re-elected playing a chord this off of the colorado gang story. and we're also getting some new numbers tonight from across the nation. so when you look at early voting, i mean, we're in it and i knew we've been saying this that election day is three weeks away, but yet, well, here's the but yet so far more than 5 million ballots have been classed across 39 states i mean, that's really incredible. kristen holmes is outfront live in atlanta where trump is about to speak. and kristen trump has made no secret that georgia is one. and perhaps the most important state so this first day of early voting is very, very crucial. what do they see in these numbers?

>> they're watching this very carefully, erin, i've got to tell you what's been so interesting being here today. we know what donald trump has said about early voting repeatedly, that people should vote on election day, that there should be paper ballots while still trying to perpetuate this messaging at the same time that republicans upset about how critical early the voting is. here, it is very apparent how critical early voting is. every single speaker has talked about the fact that early voting is happening today. they have implored the people in the if you have not gotten out today, show up tomorrow. we need people to show up and vote. now, the other interesting thing sped by the last 30 minutes in the lobby here talking to people, so many people wearing early voting sticker as i asked people, did you do this in 2020 didn't believe in it in 2020. interesting change, obviously between then and you just heard this behind me, the speaker this took this age, said that she just cast her ballot for donald j. trump. there is such an emphasis on this early voting. now the republicans,

and that is something that behind the scenes behind donald trump's rhetoric. we know has been going on. we know that republicans have been having a ground campaign it all of these various states to get people to show up and to cast their ballot. that is something that is very clear tonight. very interesting to see because it feels like a real difference. genes at least talking to the people who are here today who said they early voted then 2020? >> yes, certainly so and obviously, you know, a shift there was more mail-in voting then. but people taking this very seriously. and as you say at a trump rally were four years ago, he said he didn't trust it. that could be very significant. kristin. thank you very much. he is at that trump rally in atlanta. i want to go to david axelrod outfront now. david, when you look at this record, smack ashton maybe some people who would have cast mail in four years ago now are choosing to vote early, no matter how you look at it though those, these are huge numbers, these are big numbers. these are people turning out these were lines and you heard kristen say how the trump campaign says that they think this could be good for them. but you see it as a good sign for harris?

>> well, yeah, i think look, you have to analyze where the turnout is. his it's uniform across the state. it means one thing if it's concentrated in the atlanta area, probably another but generally, even with this new emphasis on early voting trump had so conditioned republican voters to vote on election day that he's there trying to rip out the wiring now and get them to behave differently. so i think there will be a greater participation of republicans in early voting. but the degree of it, i don't know. and you'd have to assume without the morning in in-depth analysis that this is a more encouraging to democrats than republicans so when you look at the numbers more than 300,000 ballots cast today and gabe sterling saying that that's, you know, record, it's more than double what you saw last time around it's astounding in terms of the increase. >> so you heard what kristen was just reporting from people

she saw at that trump rally, who said they voted this time. they didn't believe in it before referring to 2020 because of what he said but now they feel differently. but what do you see in these numbers? i suppose whichever way they go when you talk about democracy being on the line as so many people feel, what do you see when you see lines like this well, listen, especially because there's been all kinds of all kinds of barriers discussed set up talked about in georgia. >> and so, to me here this is a statement on the part of people across the state that, hey, were coming who were going to vote we're not going to be discouraged and that i think is great. look, i want everybody to vote in an election. i think this is a sacred process that distinguishes democracies from dictatorships and this is the way we grabbed the wheel of

history and turn it into direction. we think is right. so i'm happy to see people come out. one thing i want to note about this, erin, though, a lot of the people who you saw today are people who voted last time. some of them may have voted early. some of them may have voted on election day what is going to be interesting is, were there people who voted today who didn't vote at all last time and what motivated them to vote and what is their persuasion in this race? so there is, there is a possibility that these republican voters are coming out early where people who would have come out anyway and the same with democrats and we just don't know what it is, but i'd say it's mildly encouraging for democrats. and certainly it's encouraging for democracy that a record is being broken and it suggests will see whether it has offerings for the turnout in the fall, but it looks like we're headed for another big

election. >> yeah. well, i mean, you know, when there's something to be said, you see those lines in the car? i maybe waiting in the car and then inside in the convention center. i don't know. i mean, i see that sense. it gives you goosebumps. it's it's amazing if people are choosing to do this and choosing to wait on a day when they don't have to, there's a lot of other days they could still have and not putting it off and doing it and that is that is what makes america great. thank you so much, david. i appreciate it harry enten joins me now from the magic wall. harry, we talk about georgia, you know, you're just looking here at least a specific numbers. polls have closed on the first day of early voting, but georgia matters so much. i mean, how it goes as an indicator of where the entire race is going. so that's why so much attention is on these early numbers. >> yeah, i think that's exactly right, erin. i mean, i should point out that georgia isn't not even part of kamala harris's easiest path to 270 electoral votes. donald trump really needs to win the state. i mean, look, kamala harris is best path moves through the great lakes, right? she winds up there, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, gets you to 270

bee can also potentially give her nevada where she's been polling pretty decently. that gets her to 276. now let's just say we give her the state of georgia georgia, right. that gets to 92. this gives her a major margin for error because she could lose in pennsylvania and she would still get 273 electoral votes. let's say we give that back to her. she could lose michigan again. she's north of 270 electoral votes. let's say we give that back to her. she could lose in wisconsin and she's still gets over 200 turning 70 electoral votes, erin. so the bottom line is this. georgia is so pivotal to donald trump's path to 270. if kamala harris can win, there, it throws his entire path off. it gives her a much larger room for error. >> i mean, becomes not impossible, but incredibly difficult for him to win without it. one of the polls tell you about trump and harris in georgia it's so close. that's what the polls tell us. so if we take a look, i averaged all the polls, right? and what do we see? we see tunneled trump up by a point of course, remember four years ago, joe biden won that state. why at this particular point that's donald trump perhaps

had the slightest advantage in the state of georgia. well, i think it comes down to black voters. that's what it comes down to. because take a look here. if you look at the average among black voters in the state of georgia, you see that four years ago, joe biden won that vote by 82 points. look over kamala harris's today. she is only up by 72 points. so at ten point drop off something that is very consistent with what we see nationwide. and the bottom line is, if georgia is consistent with what we see nationwide in terms of the drop-off in black voters, it is felt more in georgia than any other state because swing states with most black voters look at this aaron georgia comes in number one at 30%. if kamala harris can win over more black voters, she's likely to win the state of georgia and make donald trump's path to 270 electoral votes seemed like a pretty gosh darn long shot a certain the case alright. >> thank you so much, harry. thank you. the next we have more breaking news. vice president kamala harris intensifying specific attack on trump, trying to convince black voters too stick with her as donald trump what his plan is

for black americans. >> yes. kim plus a popular republican mayor. and another crucial so battleground state turning on trump, throwing his support behind kamala harris. how come? >> and as washington welcomes its newish giant pandas. >> our david culver travels exclusively a few of gone before because the natural habitat of pandas wait till you see where he was forced to do they don't want humans to become part of your everyday routine. so it's for that reason that were suiting up to look like them is it look like pandas lawyers the most of any law firm one america. >> and maybe that's why the new york times calls climate specter of powerhouse law firm. so if wrongful conduct caused a catastrophic injury or death calm cline inspector, a bend was a bump in your erection might be painful embarrassing,

relentless in doubling down on these attacks against trump 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. yes, ken what? i'll tell you what it is. look at project 2025, project 2025 tells you the plan includes making police departments have stop and frisk policies. the plan includes making it more difficult for working to receive overtime pay. his plan includes making it more difficult for working people to get by and to destroy our democracy trump, of course, has said that he does not support project 2025, although some who worked for him or very senior in its planning outfront now, sherwin hughes, wisconsin radio

host of the truth with sherwin hughes, and republican strategist joe pinion so sherwin, you know, i know you had a chance to listen to vice president harris speak to charlemagne tha god. >> did harris do what she needed to do in this interview? >> it's absolutely, i think the first thing she needed to do was actually have the conversation with charlemagne and address his listeners. and more importantly, the talkback feature that they had where people could actually chime in with their specific questions. and she had an opportunity to clear up misinformation because there's still a lot of misconception about her and her record because donald trump and his allies have distorted her records so much so i think it was fantastic. i think she was lucid. she was comfortable and i think that's the commonly harris did very well, could win the white house lucid, comfortable. >> kamala harris could win the white house. i know. i know. you don't you don't want her to win the white house, but do you agree with how she performed in that interview? >> i believe that interview was a master-class. and why there is typically significant amount of black men who are tired of listening to the media and done

entertaining the democratic party. you listen to kamala harris talk about a plan for black america. they've rolled out a plan for black america. my grandfather told me a very long time ago, never trust the man who promises to do tomorrow, what they had the power to do yesterday? if kamala harris were so committed to these plans for black men, in particular, she's had in many instances where she could have done these things as a senator, as an attorney general, and certainly in her capacity as a vice president. so i do believe that when you have that type of interview talking about a multi-trillion- dollar plan for reparations. all while we ignore the fact that california has already studied reparations only for the democrats has said that we're committed to passionate two, saying everyone actually going to write the check, black men are tired of what appears to be empty promises coming from a democratic party so sherwin, charlemagne asked harris about something that has been she's been criticized for and is certainly been something that trump supporters have criticized her for. >> and that is coming off two scripted. okay. that's

obviously wasn't scripted interview, but this has happened. so here's the moment where he asked her in her response, i want to play for you folks. are you come off as a very scripted, they say you like to stick to your talking points in some media says you had that will be called discipline. >> the reality is that there are certain things that must be repeated to ensure that i have everyone know what i stand for and the issues that i think are at stake in this election and so it requires repetition. you know, some people say that at until someone has heard the same thing, at least three times, it just doesn't stay with you what did you think of that? >> sure. when she's saying fine, i mean, what shouldn't say fine. called scripted, but she basically did. she said sometimes you got to say things three times, still people here, you and that that is repetition and discipline not being scripted. >> that is precisely what it is. there are certain things that she needs to communicate to the american people over and over again, especially as they are still getting to know her. so her repeating the same things while it might sound

scripted, it very much so is disciplined if you compare her to the republican nominee, who was incredibly on script in a lot of times, he doesn't make any sense and he'd veers off of off of a script and has no coherent message. she's such a contrast to him. that is why she probably sound scripted because donald trump is anything but well, i mean, joe i mean, if you're honest with yourself, i'm sure there's some times where you would appreciate if you're a candidate would be more quote, unquote, scripted, a look, i think there's a few things happening here, right? >> i've said it many times on this network. the vice president kamala harris, she wants to have her cake and eat it too. she wants to have all the good things that come from the biden administration. she wants to leave all the bags that the biden administration behind her. i think if you're just looking in at the core issues pertaining to the black community, still rights issue of our time is education. democrats have nominated a woman who is against school choice to have a vice presidential candidate who is against school choice. and you have the gatekeeper for a large voter block. they didn't ask any real questions about the civil rights issue of our time.

do you say that we have schools where at percent of black children cannot read at proficient levels all across this country. and so it is a scourge that is preventing black men from getting the tools they need in their young life to move forward. and i think if there are a lot of black people who are saying democrats have told us that donald trump is terrible. but i'm not going to allow my vote to be taken hostage by i a party that continues to not deliver results every time i place my trust in their hands, showing i'm curious what you think john coaston was on last night and she was making a similar point to joe, obviously, not up from a political point of view, but she's been studying the right wing movement in this country. but sort of her point was that black america. people now feel that they can vote for whoever they want to. and then that for many is a shift from how they felt before that there was only one way that you were allowed to go? i'm curious if you see it that way. sure. when and if you think that that's a good thing, you may not like the way some of them are going, but do you support the fact that there

is now how a freedom more than they're used to be to vote for who you want of course. >> but african-americans know you vote for a party that actually has a concrete agenda for you. the only plan that donald trump has for the african american community is allowing police complete immunity and giving police and our to make things really bad. only plan that donald trump asked for the black community is to take away our health care by reducing and eliminating the affordable care act. the only plan that donald trump has for the black community is suspending the constitution. so, yes, i think it's wonderful that we have showing us as african americans who we vote for. but we know that a lot of our progress that has been gained has come through voting and voting for the right party. and voting for a party that actually has a plan. and the republicans offer nothing. donald trump still has sketches of a plan and this is a man who was president for four years and literally did nothing but hurt black unemployment or hurt black employment rather hurt investments in the african-american community pretended that covid did not exist. and the other thing is republicans in the house and in the senate have also helped

donald trump be obstructionist so when my friend joel talks about the democrats not being worth our boat, the republicans have offered nothing but taking us back to a time there was no good for us anyway, he did have a record low for black eye hey, that to that point. right. i think we have to dispense with some of the talking points here. certainly there is a fair way to interpret it and to interpret facts irrespective of whether you're republican or democrat, the fact remains pre-covid. we had 7 million new jobs created. we had record low unemployment for black americans, and i think even if you move beyond, all the conjecture, when you look at what black men are really moved by their, moved by the fact that the democratic party is not actually treating them fairly, that you have the only black republican man in the senate who ran for president, being called the equivalent of a slave that harriet tubman should have left behind. and no one lost their job. and not a single person and was fired. and so i appreciate that sherwin says that it's good to live in america where black men can voice their opinion independent of somebody telling

them how to do so. but it is quite clear that from many people on the cable news that they have been given license to talk crazy. and out of their neck about black men who are not interested it did in voting for kamala harris. and i think unforced for not just the democratic party, but america, those chickens might come home to roost on november. >> all right. so you get the last word because sherwin has the first, but i hope that you will both be back for another conversation very soon. in these final days. so appreciate both of you. and next, geraldo rivera, longtime friend and supporter of donald trump, but tonight, he is backing harris. or aldo is live next plus, as two giant pandas arrive in washington, are david culver will take wanted plus tough journey, this is incredible. this is when you say this job can be amazing. seeing pandas in the wild on as part of his journey, we're going to show you the lengths, david had to go to you're not only putting on just the suit by solve years old going to put pen that's you're in and pooh-pooh on. so you will have the sense

president trump is a sore loser who cannot be trusted to honor the constitution. that is why i am voting for kamala harris to be our 47th president holder of era. now with newsnation is now outfront and so her all there it is. you are voting for kamala harris and you lay out the reason why they're the constitution the the fraud of the stolen election is this a vote for her as you think about it, geraldo or against donald trump that is an excellent question, erin, it's delightful to be with you. >> thank you very much for inviting me. i when i think of the kamala harris vote, i think of joe biden and the biden administration was reasonably successful in my view, not perfect. they did a lot of things that were awful like paying no attention whatsoever to the southern border. it's come back to haunt them. the withdrawal from afghanistan. i was awful, 13 lives lost

unnecessarily. but generally speaking, the economy, the region relationship with the world the functioning of our own government, things went along pretty well under joe biden and kamala harris. and i have every expectation that she will continue his good work, bidennomics. they didn't use that term very much anymore. but the fact of the matter is that inflation has been almost stopped there has been the employment situation has improved, that things are pretty good under biden, there'll be hopefully pretty good under kamala harris on the other hand, i think donald trump really represents, i really do think that in kamala harris's words today, that he is unfit. i mean, the fact that he made liars out of millions and millions of people. i ask my republican friends and of course i'm still a republican i asked people how in the world can you pretend to believe that the election was stolen when

there's no evidence of that whatsoever how can you delude yourself? you make believe you're you're, you should choke on this. it is absolutely so false. this is the man that unleashed the riots and invaded the capitol of the united states. he tried to straw strong arm the vice president of the united states into jiggling around with the, with the electoral college. >> and what did he really is a sore loser. what do they say when everyone says you know, it's a greater good? >> you know, whatever it, if they go so far as to admit that they know that they are not being completely candid with themselves, honest with themselves to that extent, they see it as a marriage of convenience to be for donald trump many of them are high-end people who our happy about the tax situation under, under donald trump, he will reduce

taxes for the high-end taxpayer. things self-serving reasons that i maybe have gone along with in the past. i refused. now the president did i president trump, an i have been a estranged since very shortly after the last election because of his refusal to admit defeat i worry what happens next? what happens if he loses? i worry and if he wins, i worry. her, you know, you talk about you've been a strange since after the election and look, this is personal for you and you waited until after the election. i'm not saying that critically. i'm saying that because you had a friendship with him. yeah, a friendship that goes back almost 50 years, right? so there were times when things happen where you did support him and defended him in dark moments before the two of you stopped speaking and i just wanted everyone to hear some of the things you said so that people understand how, how personal this is. here, you are talking about him

mine. >> i think that he's done some great things. this i love donald trump. i still feel that he doesn't have an ounce of racism or evil or hatred in his body i'm very proud of the way he has conducted himself as president elect so hard. >> that was 2020 in the first 12017 and then 2016, i play that in the context of this. how hard is it? for you to come out against a longtime friend. as you have chosen to do so because you think it's important. so publicly it's not only erin that he's a longtime friend. i also think he was a pretty good president and i think that his his term in office is largely underrated. he did a pretty good job with china and with the economy, with tariffs and so forth. he did getting through the pandemic was extremely difficult. i'm mean, russia, russia, bami banning and

bombing with that fake russia tampering with our election you know, i was proud to call him my friend. i'm proud of the times that we spent together every time the phone rang here in the house and the president was on the line, who was excitement even though my wife erika i did not did not appreciate she's a democrat but what he did in the wake of the 2020 election, is unforgivable and we can't lose sight of that. he tried to distort the constitutional process he tried to strong arm the republic. he tried to with mike pence to make pence be more loyal to him than to the constitution of the united states. he is a sore loser and he would not be trusted. he could not be trusted with honoring the constitution. the one thing we had going with every other government on earth was our tradition, multi-century tradition of the peaceful succession of government. won. one president

to the next, to the next to the next and he called it to question that very foundation stone of our democracy. and to me that is aaron unfolding so geraldo, you've been watching him and you've known him for a long time and you've known him in a personal way. you've seen him campaign, you've seen him as president so there's been a lot of focus on whether he has changed this time around, you know, the new york times did the whole analysis right? of how long his speeches are, the words he uses. all of this last night there was that town hall. it was cut short to people had fainted or needed medical help. so it's understandable, of course, it was cut short. but as he finished the town hall, he then stayed on stage for nearly 40 minutes and he was sort of sway the music looking out at the crowd and then just a playlist went through harris campaign reacted geraldo by saying, quote, hope he's okay snark they're democrats were quick to question his mental acuity. but i just put that out there as an example from from yesterday. i'm curious, geraldo, as too as you watch him now and listened to him now, knowing him for a long time? do you think that that's

fair? do you think that he has changed i think he has changed in this regard when i said in the clips that you played, it was fun to take a trip down memory lane, but the clips that you played where he said he didn't have an ounce of racism in his body that i based on my personal experience in trump tower, seeing who worked for him and how he responded to people. >> how to respond to people, and very personal way on the street and so forth. what has changed is he came i say it now clear as day. he came to the realization that if he were to demonize undocumented immigrants, if he was to make the other the touchstone of the, of the election, he could dr. a. train right from that ambition and that realization all the way to the white house. he did, and now he is doubling down on it in a way that is so

scary. the way he speaks of latino immigrants it's so blatantly racist. it is intolerable. poisoning the blood of our country. it's in their genes. i personally believe that murder is in their genes. who's he talking about? is he talking about me? is he talking about my dad? is he talked about my children you know, i think that it is unforgiveable intolerable and flat out stone-cold, racist. and i and i don't use that term very often because i think it's misuse and overused. but were you cannot otherwise explain how a guy who was a generally speaking, a moderate kind of rudneva know whether it was a democrat or republican in the days when we were coming up together alright, i saw him as charismatic, figure, a very sympathetic figure in many ways larger than life. it was so fun you know, but this is not fun. this is not fund the division that he has son is not fine. it is it is in so many ways it's

it's really sickening. >> alright, well, geraldo, i appreciate your taking the time. i'm glad to talk to you again and thanks for sharing this my my pleasure, thanks for having me. all right. >> and next, kamala harris cheering on the oil industry, but our kfile has uncovered that she has not always been their biggest supporter plus a cnn exclusive, our david culver going where few journalists have gone before to the mountains where china's beloved pandas blip before election day. >> vice president harris basis voters and takes to pressing question jimmy lie. anderson cooper moderates a cnn presidential town hall. kamala harris, wednesday, october 23 at nine eastern on cnn with decks calm, g7, managing your diabetes, just got easier so what's your glucose number right now? >> good thing. you don't need to fingerstick, house all about food affect your glucose? >> oh, the answers on your what

hearing from kamala harris recently increase in domestic oil production in history because of an approach that recognizes that we cannot over rely on foreign oil but as our kfile sharp turn from where harris, once stood on this issue. >> not so very long ago, and kfile's andrew kaczynski is outfront, so andrew pounding the table for the u.s oil industry and oil production but not the way it always was. what did you find? >> yeah, that's right, erin. and this really shows sort of just how far left that kamala harris got in that 2019 democratic primary when she was running with bernie sanders and elizabeth warren she was making this extremely bold promise that she was going to take the us oil industry possibly criminally prosecute them for their role in climate change. she compared it to big tobacco,

was saying they knew the effects of climate change, but they hit it from the public. now we saw there fast forward to 2024, what are her and tim walz doing? they are touting the record, domestic oil production in from those same oil companies during the biden/harris administration. and how big of a shift is this? well, take a listen to just one of those comments from 2019 department in your attorney general to investigate chevron and shell companies for their part in the and they're damage to our planet in this climate crisis, i'm saying about these big oil companies, these fossil fuel companies look, you should be really prepared to look at a serious fine or be charged with a crime, and they need to pay the price so yes is the answer obviously what we played in the intro here. but that was not the only time she made comments

like this. this was very much a theme for her take listen to a few other comments that she made in 2019 and what they've taken on the big oil companies who are polluting. i took on oil companies who are polluting our environments all right, obviously that is extremely different than what she is presenting right now. but this isn't the only thing that she's flipped on that you found and you found a lot of other inconsistencies yeah. she's flip-flopped on a lot of issues related to energy. >> take a look at just a few of them. she said she was going to ban plastic for us. she said she was going to ban fracking. we have heard a lot about that. and she said she would eliminate the filibuster to pass the pass the green new deal. now, she also ran facebook ads during that campaign, which were touting her support for the green new deal, which were saying that she was going to take on big oil to stop for their role in

contributing to climate change. and now why is she doing this, erin, while a recent poll that came out from gallup actually shows that climate change ranks as the second least important issue to voters in that poll. and obviously pennsylvania, where we're seeing a lot of the fracking stuff is a very important state right? >> right. and josh shapiro, the democratic governor, has charted a very moderate path on that issue and been very supportive of the things that many progressives had disliked there. alright, thank you so much, andrew kaczynski of kfile. so let's go now outfront to mayor john giles of mesa, arizona he? is a republican, but he is supporting kamala harris. you're seeing him here in a brand new ad for her on your screen and i want to ask you about that. mehr giles, i suppose first though, in the context of your decision to support kamala harris, when you hear this reporting about harris? flip-flopping on some of, these issues or changing her view on some of these issues depending how you would feel comfortable phrasing it

does. >> do you think any of that matters to you are not? >> well, i'd absolutely matters. i think i would have hesitated to endorse the kamala harris that was the candidate in the 2019 democratic primary of obviously, she has evolved as a, as a government official. i think the last four years where she was riding shotgun with with joe biden no responding to world crises and domestic issues have been tremendously valuable and her evolution as a leader, and i think she's come to realize that you govern from the center. you solve problems from the center. so i think it's important that the message is that she's delivered bring now, you don't get widespread and particularly in places like arizona. >> alright, so in arizona, obviously, one of the states at ground zero, the immigration crisis and arizona voters have had in polls marris shown that they trust trump more than

harris on this issue by 55 to 42%. that's just the latest poll but we have, sir, from the new york times. and trump did receive just the other day the endorsement of the 16,000 member border patrol union. and then union's president when they came out with this endorsement, said this about kamala harris if we allow borders, are harris to win this election? >> every city, every community in this great country is going to go to hell mayor, i know you see it very differently why is he so wrong mayor in a border state for the last ten years, i can tell you that this is a very real issue that cities like mesa, arizona have to deal with. and so we've been complaining and shouting up jumping up and down, asking

for federal assistance for decades arizona. and it has been frustrating and this is a real crisis. but, but that frankly is exactly why we were so frustrated with donald trump derailing the assistance that we would received in that bipartisan legislation that senator sinema senator lankford and others worked so hard on so that's exactly everyone's right the border is a crucial issue and especially in places like arizona, kamala harris has to explain why donald trump deserves the blame for that. >> all right. well, i appreciate your time, mayor giles, and thanks so much for being with us. >> thank you. >> next, the cnn exclusive with our david culver. he goes to great lengths to see the majestic pandas somewhere most of us never will get to see. and that is in the wild as the u.s. today welcomes back to the national zoo, two giant pandas

chances of us actually seeing went out here were told her quite slim we're granted access to a reserve that tourists aren't allowed joining researchers from the smithsonian who specialize in panda rewilding were efforts to reintroduce them to their natural habitat attack part of the reason for putting them in an area like this in keeping them away from people is that they're not akamai's to people well, you wouldn't want to release a panda and have them approved village, for example were told we can meet some of the forest panda trackers. but first, we need to suit up one should let's try a panda suit just in case we stumble across a panda cub, they don't want humans to become part of their everyday routine. so it's for that reason and that were suiting up to look like them because it looks like a panda you're not only putting on just to see it by itself, years old then of pit pandas.
