simpson is because we know this election is about two very different visions for our country. >> one that is focused on the past, his and hours. that is focused on the future ready for a new way forward, ready for a new

which is why democrats and republicans and independents are supporting our campaign. in fact yesterday, over 100 republican leaders from across the country joined me on the campaign trail previously served in trump's administration i believe it is because america wants a president who will serve on behalf of all the american people my entire career. for my entire career, i've only ever had one client, the people the people prosecutor, i stood up for women and children against predators as an attorney general of california, i took on the big banks and thought to deliver $20 for middle-class families that faced foreclosure. i stood up to

veterans and stood up for excuse me, stood up for veterans. and students being scammed by big for-profit colleges. who else, who ran a big for profit college? let's not forget veterans and students who are being scammed by for profit colleges that we're trying to rip them from their dreams and charge them producing nothing in return. i have stood up for workers who've been cheated out of the wages they were do i have but up for seniors who are facing elder abuse. and as president, i will always fight for the american people and to together we will build a brighter future for our nation

build what i call an opportunity economy where america has an opportunity to do for our people. what we know is part of our ambition, our dreams, our aspirations an opportunity economy where everyone has an opportunity to own a home, to build wealth, to start a business it's under my plan we will bring down the cost of housing payment assistance. so you can just get your foot in the door their mortgage, but let's be honest, you know, the american dream will that was real for generations past, but not so much within the reach of people right now. and we got to deal with the real challenge is that people are facing right now, if

we're going to invest in the future part of my plan is about helping entrepreneurs start and grow small businesses there was a woman who lived two doors down from us, our neighbor who helped my mother racist. she was a small business owner i know who are small business owners are you are not only business leaders, you are community leaders, you are civic leaders. >> and it is, are small businesses who are the backbone of america's economy. >> i know that to be true do we have here tonight medicare to cover home health care for seniors. again

personally know. so look, when my mother was sick i took care of her and one of the things for anyone who is in that situation or has been, you know, what it's like? >> it's about cooking for folks in a way that hopefully they'll want to eat it's about trying to find the clothes that won't be too rough on their skin it's about trying to from time to time, think is something that can put a smile on their face or make them laugh it's about dignity it's about dignity but the reality is it is expensive. if you don't have the ability to do it, it is expensive to try and bring somebody in in far too many people then have to quit their job to try and take care of their elder relatives and that's not right? that's not

right. and so we also know there are so many people in what we call the sandwich generation right? who are raising young children while you're taking care of your parents? and it's almost impossible to do it all. so my point is this either under the current system, you pay down and lose all your savings. so you can qualify for medicaid either you have to give it all up and to be able to qualify for medicaid or you're going to have to quit your job or somehow figure out how you can afford to bring it out. so my plan is that instead, we're gonna have medicare cover home health care for those matter

here's how i see it we must create good paying jobs that are available to all americans and not just those with college degrees greece college degree is not the only measure of the skills and experience of a qualified workers >> is why as president, i will get rid of unnecessary degree requirements for federal jobs and i will challenge the private sector to do the same everything from health care to groceries and take on corporate price gouging. >> i've done it before and i will do it again

middle-class tax cut 200 million americans, including $6,000 during the first year of your child's life because here's the thing we know, the vast majority of parents have a natural desire to parent their children well but not always the resources that shouldn't be the thing that gets in the way of giving a child all that we know parents have to give the $6,000 buy extending that child tax credit. that's what's going to help you by a crib or car seat and all the things that that child needs during that most critical well phase of their development. and i share with you some of these details to say this i will always put the middle-class and working families first

and i will never forget where i come from different plan mean, i can say this, but i can't believe they put that thing in writing. >> i just didn't just put it right. >> they've bounded and then they handed it out detailed it's a detailed and dangerous blueprint for what he will do if he is elected president. you know, many of you have heard me say, i do believe that donald trump is an unserious man. but the

precedent, again are brutally serious brutally serious because here's the thing. donald trump will give tax cuts to billionaires and big corporations just like he did before he will cut social security and medicare and get rid of the $35 cap on insulin for seniors check this out when you look at project 2025, he will make it easier for companies to deny overtime pay for workers a trump sales tax, which is at least a 20% tax on everyday basic necessities which economists have estimated will cost the average american over $4,000 more a year

donald trump intends to end the affordable care act issue because here's the thing he's going to then threatened health insurance coverage for 45 million americans based on a concept and take us back to when insurance companies were denying people with preexisting conditions, you remember what that was well

tonight right now in green bay, wisconsin, her third stop in the state today, joining us now is for any served as director press communications for the trump 2020 campaign. >> also, cnn political commentator ashley allison, national coalitions missions director for the biden-harris 2020 campaign, also bestselling author jeffrey toobin and republican strategist, ana navarro, whose supporting vice president harris, this time it is this what vice president harris should be doing much she's been hitting obviously, that state hard absolutely first image she has gotten incredibly good at this incredibly effective. >> i also love today in the earlier rally that she had in wisconsin, where she had some heckling and shaeed disposed of them with the with the master fullness of the of the oakland shade. it came out sassy kamala harris, that i have known for eight years came out and i love that she's being more authentic. she is clearly being more comfortable. i think people get to know her more, but look what people want, what

voters want is to see that candidates are making an effort and showing up and doing these rallies back get media attention that get thousands of people there that shows to the people from those swing states that it matters that may matter that they care and that's why they're they're hillary clinton, jeff was knocked for not paying enough attention to wisconsin. >> biden won wisconsin by some 20,000 votes, i think in two counties, that's made all the difference. is she doing enough this is such should difference from how democrats have acted in the past. >> i mean, 2020 was so weird because it was covid you didn't have candidates going out hillary clinton famously didn't go at all the thing that is so striking to me as we come into this home stretch is the difference in tone between trump and harris harris optimism you see this country is things are getting better. donald trump is presenting a coherent view of an america that's simply does not exist

he says, in rallies this, he says this over and over again. if you send your child to school as a boy he will come home as a girl and they won't even tell you as a parent this has never happened in the history of the united states that someone has gotten transgender surgery at school, but that demonization of transgender people, of immigrants. this is the heart of the trump campaign. it may work, but it is very different from what i mean does he may actually in this final stretch that any i mean, not that there were guardrails with the former president in terms of the truth and not truth, but there is now just no regard for the truth at all. and even in some of these town halls, things he's doing, he's asked a question. he just that's something you just ignore totally and he just answers the question he wish he was asked

president and her fox interview yesterday said that he was unhinged and he doesn't answer questions. >> and quite honestly, he's been lying to us for a very long time and people in his party didn't say no, that that was unacceptable, that was disqualifying to be our nominee. and so here we are once he's had to face no consequences for his lies, except for his 34 felony convictions he continues to do it because it hasn't stopped him politically so i like that kamala harris is calling it out. i also like because donald trump has rewritten how politics is played. kamala harris is running a new playbook herself, going into very diverse media territory doing multiple rallies, finding her footing to ana's point, telling the hecklers you were at the wrong rally, you meant to go to the small one still poking fun at donald trump and his in factual ation with crowd-size. so he faces no consequences for lie. it doesn't mean we should not continue to call it out though. >> erin, i mean, doesn't matter what trump says at the al smith dinner tonight, cnn will areas

marks live in 2016, you wet went after hillary clinton pretty hard by the standards of that dinner, harris is not going, going to be there obviously, harris. does that change the calculus for him at all i don't think it changes the calculus. >> i think donald trump would say exactly what he wanted, whether or not kamala harris was in the room or not this evening. it's not going to change what he does. and kamala harris, i mean, she should get a little bit of applause for doing that fox news interview. but she did a fox news interview, shouldn't go into the thunder dome here. and so she's trying to reach other audiences with her message. but how effective is she being in that right now? because that bret baier interview, she was on her back foot almost immediately and become combative and i understand that the nature the nature of that interview was a more combative style but she wasn't delivering a message to the middle-class voter to the one who's saying, i need more information because she was giving the same answer over and over again. we're hearing the same thing over and over from both sides. and right now, voters are saying we are

deadlocked. this is 50-50 in the country, both campaigns got to wake up a little bit right now. and yes, you may try a different outlet or a different news opportunity, but they gotta do something that's drastically different now if they think they're going to be able to shake any part of this electorate in any fashion for one of them to be clear, discernible winner. >> yeah. i mean i guess you can always look back. should she have been doing this sooner going into more on friendly territory, more combative interviews or whatever it may be. there's talk of her going and joe rogan obviously very popular podcast should she do that? should she have done all this sooner? isn't too late. >> you know, people ask about should she have done things sooner. i mean, this has been a very condensed campaign season, yet you think it wasn't, but a few weeks ago, the woman had to put together her campaign, had to put together her policy, had to pick a vice president, had to put together the democratic national convention, had to go deliver. and now i'm not saying she could. >> i'm just wondering, would

it have been better if that was baked? >> he's doing it now and i think a eople e paying attention for the first first-time. now, 30, 30 days out. i think she should go do joe rogan yesterday if she's she's proving one thing very clearly won. she wants to be the president for all americans. that's why she's going to places like fox news, not just left-wingers, not just democrats, not just msnbc watchers or cnn watchers. and two she is not afraid, unlike donald trump, who refuses to do a cnn debate, that's why she's doing a town hall. just what you who refuses to do, msnbc, nbc, who you know, it's just a scared cat 90 days. >> if you look at the communications from the campaigns now, they're not even fundraising anymore because it's really just too late. they are focused almost entirely on turning out there, on turning out their voters. and i don't really know how many people are actually changing their mind at this late date. i think the challenge to both sides is getting the not so enthusiastic

voters out to the polls, not because you know, getting people in les intellectually engaged if they're not paying attention at this point, i doubt they're going to be paying their bodies changed actually, i mean, you know about turnout operations. how are the turnout you know, you look at huge early voting numbers in georgia. it seems like in north carolina, even given all the problems that they've had with the storm it seems like big numbers already. georgia, i think the first two days had record numbers for double what they'd ever had before on the first day. how are the turnout operations for the harris campaign? versus the trump campaign well, they have massive operations in all the battleground states. >> one of the good things that she was able to do even on this consolidated timeline, is that there were offices already up for joe biden and already had staff in many of the battleground states. so she was able to inherit that. and in the last 100 days, she has really surge. i know that they are sending money not just to the state parties, but to local

groups on the ground, really, to turn folks out and not just do it in a door knocking way, going to where people are already congregating and getting them either registered vote if their voter registration deadline hasn't passed or persuading them to vote early because once we get it someone to vote early, they come off the rolls and if you are able to direct your attention to other people who might be a lower propensity voter, which is really important. i think it will be the deciding factor in this race right now, erin, the foreign person was done something called the pbd podcast episode was released today, vice president harris is race came up. i want to play a clip of that kamala who was apparently black. she's up 41 what do you mean by apparently, i mean, that's what they're telling us. >> we're supposed to believe she's black much better than no she i would never say anything like that but you say don't explain to what you're not want to put you in trouble. yeah. apparently i was going to throw down to your shoulders,

apparently what no you you could explain it because i asked very comfortable explaining it because overnight, you know, she's doing a show, she's supposed to be indian. and then all of a sudden now it's black, but it's not landing with the average american. so if you look at black men, that's why she's not doing well, watch this summer people say that >> later in the podcast, trump said harris is black, but quote, a lot of people didn't know. i mean again, is this all just baked in? i mean, doesn't does anything bad or anything anymore really does anything really matter let's have a little help well, my question was this is based but the reality is that the american people fully understand what they're getting with donald trump. >> they've been seeing this for over a decade, almost a decade now to see that this is the guy that they have a choice to elect, and they can see kamala harris out on the other side is

for as much as democrats talk about the good vibes and the good mood and the joy of kamala's camp the american people aren't feeling that vibe themselves because this is still so neck and neck as a race. and what we're talking about right now with kamala trying to do these other avenues and these other opportunities to talk to voters. it's because she's still in persuasion, because she is so far behind the eight ball, she should be at the get out the vote phase of her campaign right now. but she's still trying to squeeze voters to say, consider me, not get to the polls for me trump's team, while they're outsourcing a lot of what you're seeing for their ground game and knocking on doors and talking to voters. they've been in that get out the vote motion for longer than democrats. now you can talk about who has the longer history, about the better get out the vote efforts here. but this is crunch time and chama being so far behind to come into the main part of the race. this really could be so detrimental to her in this final stretch. actually, is that how you see it risk equation in a different way.

>> i think you have to persuade people to actually vote even if they know who you're going to vote for. so my friend bakari sellers always says this is not going to necessarily be a decision between democrats deciding if they're going to vote for kamala harris or donald trump, but rather they're going to vote for kamala harris or stay at home on the couch? so i do think that she is still in persuasion, but i think it's okay. that she is still in persuasion and also simultaneously doing get out the vote because that means she's still can add pieces to her coalition. whereas donald trump has maxed out, he has to get his voters to come out because people are not moving over from her to him. they are more likely to move over from him to her if she can also increase turnout. i think this could be not just a close race, but i think it could go in her favor. yeah. >> i just finished by saying that we're going to talk about candidates changing color. we can start by talking about donald trump, who has gone from about being your color to now being burnt sienna, pumpkin spice. >> all right. thanks ever more

now on the state, the vice president and certainly needs to win shortly before airtime i spoke with pennsylvania democratic governor josh shapiro governor shapiro, are you surprised the presidential race? the polls are so close in pennsylvania, vice president harris is underperforming. it seems right now the state's democratic us senate nominee, incumbent bob casey the look anderson, every race in pennsylvania as close the last two presidential racers were settled by a point or less. so when you show a poll that shows it as a one-point rates are an even race. we've come to expect that but listen we got two minutes left in the game and we got a better team on the floor. certainly a better floor captain and i'd rather be us than them. we got to close strong kamala harris is doing that. she's spending a ton of time in pennsylvania and i think that's working to her benefit. >> there is clearly a double-standard. the former president rarely give us specifics on anything. he repeats himself over and over, repeating things that he has said before without the suffix, there's a criticism of vice

president harris that she has not given enough specifics do you and there's certainly some issues that she has not given specifics on. do you think that's something she needs to do? >> i think, you're correct to point out the double standard here, i would take it one step further, anderson, not only has the vice president laid out specifics on how she's gonna cut taxes for middle-class families, cut taxes for small business, help entrepreneurs be able to get ahead more effectively. in our commonwealth and across it's our country. but donald trump not only is devoid of specifics, the guy just lies all the time. i mean, you can go a 24 hour news cycle and he tells three different stories. so not only is the vice president laid out specifics, but on the other side, you have a guy who doesn't put out the details and lies repeatedly over and over and over again. i think what we've seen across parts of america is folks have kind of gotten numb to the lies. and i think it is important that he be called out

for those lies. and it is important to weigh the fact that that kamala harris has put forth those specifics and donald trump continues to fail to vice president harris has been asked in two large venues, most notably last night on fox how she would be different essentially then president biden, she has she said last night that she's kamala harrison, that she would not be just an extension of the biden administration and she would bring her own experiences to the table but there's no specific thing she has pointed to as wishing had been done in the last four years that they didn't do. there's nothing specific. she has said that makes said she's different than biden on this. do you think xi do you believe she's different than the biden administration? do you have a sense of how for those who are undecided, this is a clear choice between kamala harris and donald trump, not kamala harris and joe biden. kamala harris, someone who wants to lift up this

nation, who understands that no matter what you look like, where you come from. he's a lover who you pray to there's a place for you here versus donald trump, someone who continuously tries to create others in our society, continues to put people down, continues to attack communities, including communities in pennsylvania like charlotte. i'm here in michigan campaigning on the blue wall bus tour with governor gretchen whitmer and governor tony evers and others in michigan donald trump has attacked detroit over and wisconsin. he attacked milwaukee. and of course he routinely attacks philadelphia. donald trump is someone who keeps attacking our fellow americans, who keeps whining about himself, who keeps putting people down. and i would just say to donald trump stop talking. america's top talking us down. and the american people have a clear choice in this race it is between donald trump and kamala

harris, not kamala harris and joe biden i don't know that i've heard a governor say talking before, by the way, i just did there. >> are well ahead, but but anderson, there's there's there's a serious point behind that and i chose that word purposefully, you have a person who wants to lead this nation, who keeps attacking large segments of it, who keeps putting people down, who thinks that his way of getting over the top electorally is by holding someone else down. this is, you know, he's a bully and the lessons that we teach it our children to love thy neighbor, to not attack others. these are the basic simple lessons the parents trying to instill in our kids that donald trump can't even meet. this guy wants to be the leader of this nation, the leader of the free world. and it can't pass the basic test we set for our kids. i'm sick and tired of him talking people down and attacking our fellow americans.

>> you're in michigan as you said, there are concerns that members of michigan's large arab american population may sit the election out in protest of us policy in the middle east. do you think the death of the hamas leader, the terrorists, sinwar, changes the political equation somehow well, look, let's speak truth about who sinwar was. he was a terrorist with blood on his hands, including the blood of americans. he was the mastermind behind october 7, the attack that left 1,200 people dead in israel, 200 and hostages he's ripped from their homes and taken to gaza. women who were sexually violated in the most brutal ways that's who sinwar was. and i hope that there is some measure of peace that can come to those victims, families, those people who now know that sinwar is dead. i also hope that this can be a moment where

there can be a pause and a reassessment and the hostages can come home immediately and the war can end and we can begin a new in the middle east, ideally, in my opinion, with the middle east, that leads to a two-state solution with sinwar dead and behind us, maybe just maybe there can be this momentary pause with these hostages can come home, and the war can end but make no mistake. sinwar was a bad guy. he was a terrorist and he had blood on his hands and i am glad that he is dead and no longer in a position where he can wreak havoc across the globe and take more lives governor josh shapiro, thank you for your time. thank you. anderson quick programming note. >> the former president is now a bit less than an hour away from his solo appearance. now at the al smith memorial dinner here in new york, live pictures. we'll bring you his remarks when they happen just ahead tonight, cnn's donie o'sullivan talks to people who believe that donald trump was
