appearance be all. go almost anywhere. amber ruffin. thank you. so much. i really appreciate it and be sure to tune in a new episode of i got news for you, airs tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. on cnn >> breaking just. moments ago, donald trump on how fox is height, helping him write some of his material. and on what his plans are for but campaigning with nikki haley. you developments following the death of the hamas leader. a statement just out from hamas about what their plans are now. and who needs a rocket when you have a balloon making history with better bathrooms and drink services, apparently, sara is out today on john berman with kate baldwin this is cnn new central the time. >> no, just kidding. two

presidential candidates in one battleground state and even focusing in on the same in battleground county essentially the same time donald trump and kamala harris heading to michigan. today, even crossing paths in the same county a few hours apart as their campaigns let's look to energize supporters, find any undecided voters if they exist still and push for any advantage, they can find. now, just 18 days away from election day before that, donald trump stopped by fox news this morning, a greatest hits of his campaign rhetoric and criticism of his opponent. cnn's steve contorno starts us off this hour soap. steve, what happened? >> yeah. in this appearance k he also continued to push this rhetoric that the democratic party is quote, the enemy from within. he further elaborated on those remarks. take a listen to what he said. they're all about soundbites and these people are sick. they have people. i talked about the

enemy from within what what pearson wants to have open borders, what person wants to have men playing in women's sports all of this stuff, it doesn't make sense. it's no good, it's horrible also recapped his performance last night at the al harris dinner in new york. this is a, an event put on an honor of the first presidential candidate nominated by a party who is a catholic and trump in his comments criticize harris for showing up via video and not in person calling it, quote, deeply, deeply disrespectful that catholics, he also, at this event reiterated his support for eric adams, the embattled new york and bear, he said, quote, i was prosecuted, prosecuted, and so were you eric? and trump at during his appearance on fox and friends just now, also was asked, you know, where he came up with the jokes that he performed last night and he said a lot of

people from fox participated in helping him write his script yesterday. as interesting that just days after they are interviewing the vice president, his political opponents are also helping him with material for this event donald trump, as you said, now goes on to campaign in michigan where he will cross paths with the vice president. they are both in that battleground states to showing how important michigan is to the election which is now just less than three weeks away. >> absolutely, steve. thank you very much. john. >> all right. so you've just said they will cross paths in michigan. what are the plans of the vice president in that state today, cnn's isaac dovere is with us. what is the message she wants to send today? >> well, she's. starting the day. first event is in grand rapids, talking to people there, then she will be doing an event with union workers and then end the day in oakland county outside of detroit with a rally there all of it pushing this very clear focus on

michigan, a state that of course was the closest state in 2016, it was decided by 10,704 votes. it was close again in 2020 and she is hoping that she can make it not so close this time around but it is a pitched fight and looking for all the different so that she can appeal to there while there is, of course, all the what is roiling the arab american community there over the war in gaza. >> interesting going to go into grand rapids, kent county, which flipped from trump to biden 2016 to 2020, going to oakland county where biden really expanded his lead he there helped him win michigan in the messaging she is delivering. it really does seem now this has been happening every day in almost every day it seems to get even hotter. she's going after donald trump directly, not just as a threat to democracy, but also basically saying he's unhinged and not up to the job yes. >> and unstable all those sorts

of things, but she's doing it in a way where she is saying that he isn't making sense, but what he is saying as dangerous. talking about when he said the other day that he was the father of ivf. but we can take a listen to some of how she's doing that out on the trail though some have forgotten. >> i remember what it was like when trump was president. i remember after hurricane maria devastated our island, trump blocked billions in relief, while thousands i. remember when our families lack clean water and electricity, trump through paper towels, and cold puerto rico, dirty and poor i'm sorry john, that was a new ad that the harris campaign has featuring mark anthony, the singer making an appeal to latinos, puerto rican, especially talking about what happened with the hurricane response. >> there under trump. and it is

there's a lot going on. we cannot say, given how fragmented and fractured the media environment is at this point and all the different constituencies that are trying the harris campaign is trying to appeal to that. one day is about anything. each day is about many things that both these campaigns are doing, trying to grab each little block of voters. those couple of people in each county who are undecided, still making up their minds swing in one way or the other? and so we will see more of that each day in between now and november 5th, trying to reach a lot of different people in a lot of different places and a lot of different ways. as you vera great to see you this morning. thank you very much all right. let's talk about a lot of this joining us right now, cnn political commentator and former democratic state representative from south carolina, bakari sellers i'm political strategist and former spokesperson for the republican national committee madison, just you know, great. thank you guys for being here. so as steve contorno was talking to us about donald trump went to fox news this morning before he's heading to michigan. and

one of the things that came up and it just happened medicines. so i'm going read you the sound bite rather than oh, i think we actually just got to cut the i will now set it up and i everyone now gets to hear my internal monologue on live television. one of the things that donald trump talked about, he was asked in the fox news interview if he would consider calling it calling nikki haley who obviously ran against him in the primary to campaign for him. >> listen to this let let me just tell you, nikki haley, and i fought. >> and i beat her by 506090 points i beat her in her own state by numbers that nobody's ever been beaten by ai be nikki badly. i beat everyone else too badly i mean, frankly, i set records both in speech and in the magnitude of the way. and everybody keeps saying that they don't say get ron and ron did very well but again, i beat

everybody by numbers that has never happened before. and they keeps talking about nikki. nikki, i like nikki. nikki. i don't think should have done what she did madison. >> that doesn't sound like he wants her to campaign with him at all. but do you think that don't do you think that would help him if he did? >> i think she's been out there a little bit. we definitely need her out there more as the republican party, there are a lot of voters out there that did vote for nikki haley. i don't necessarily think that they're jumping ship to go vote for kamala harris. however, i think if we need to get them motivated and we need to get them out there to vote for president trump. and that wasn't their first choice, maybe in the primary, i think having her out there would certainly help and having her out there more would definitely help. >> that's what the record that is one funny way of trying to convince someone to come campaign for you well, look, i was just looking at how low energy he was when he went to his campaign headquarters and was speaking to campaign volunteers over there at fox news. >> i mean, the fact is that,

you know, he was this rambling, met that's going on and on about his margin of victory. and i say this all the time and people think i'm a homer and we disagree on politics, but nikki haley's one of the best political athletes we have in the country. i mean, she needs to be on the campaign trail for donald trump so that they actually have someone standing with him who has that level of talent nikki haley's more talented than jd vance. i mean, she's someone who ran for president, performed admirably and she can maybe help him with women. it's kinda late to go down that path, but maybe she can help them with women, particularly in suburbs. but then this again shows you what type of leader donald trump is. he's tired, he's exhausted. his makeup, looked a little uneven. he's chaotic. and the fact that he simply can't get out of his own way is a fundamental problem i was just thinking as you were talking about, isn't one of the exact place, is that your that you could have been describing the nikki haley could really help is where is in michigan? >> you've got kent county, which is where grand rapids is. that's where donald trump won that county county in 2016. joe

biden won the county in 2020. that i mean, that could be a fantastic place for a nikki haley to go. but i mean, why do you think donald trump is approaching it though this way? i'll do what i have to do. well, kind of sounds like you have to do it well, i mean, she could help him a lot of places, but i think when it comes to michigan, the campaign sounds like they're feeling pretty confident. you look at places that donald trump and kamala harris are going to be going today, like oakland county. this is an area where biden really outperformed hillary clinton. he won by 14 points. she only won that county by eight in 2016. obviously went on to lose he's michigan as a result of many things, but that being one of them and i think you see such disdain right now within the arab american community against kamala harris. i think many people were hoping for a big shift within that community they weren't happy with the biden administration policies they thought having kamala and there might change things that she might take a different approach. and when they realized that she didn't, they were very, very unhappy. and so you look at oakland county and mccomb county, that's home to

almost half of the arab american population in michigan. these people don't plan on coming out to support kamala this could potentially lose michigan for her and even for the sake of argument, you say she takes arizona, she takes nevada trump takes door in north carolina. she's still can't win without winning at least two of those states within the blue wall. so i think these are critically important states for her. i understand her logic not going last night to the dinner instead going to wisconsin, but i do think that there's also a catholic population that's in play in wisconsin and pennsylvania, culturally catholic people that i think she could have picked up a jovial and bipartisan dinner like that. >> they don't think about that dinner is, is it doesn't yes. catholic charities is very important, but it's really focused on by a lot of people on the east coast, not a lot of people, maybe in the midwest. i'll tell you that when i didn't hear about the ground yeah. >> a lot of catholic pages, they go around and a lot of the italian-american pages, i'm catholic myself. i've seen a lot of that this morning outside of even obviously watching it, which on everybody

does live last night. >> this very jury as it was quite late for people who woke up early. >> bakari, one thing we know is that next week both michel obama and barak obama are gonna be on the trail for harris. >> michelle in michigan and the foreign president in georgia. person who posted a new video just yesterday supporting harris is a clip. it's described as a conversation that he's had with actress and producer, evil and gloria. let me play this got on one side, somebody who really just cares about himself everything's about him 2:00 a.m. tweets and tirades and kamala's somebody who comes from modest beginnings who had to fight for what she had. >> and that's the kind of person that i'd want to vote for because i know push comes to shove. she's gonna be fighting for me and that's the kind of president that we need we also know bakari that earlier obama had suggested. >> and when he stopped by a campaign office in pennsylvania, that some of

their hesitancy among black men to support kamala harris he suggested that it was because she was a woman. do you think obama is creating headaches for it? all could beat create a headache for kamala harris considering his star status in the democratic party absolutely not i mean, look, the only person over the past 20 years who's run for president or vice president who supporting donald trump is sarah palin. >> and we have absolutely everybody out there running and supporting kamala harris for president. you have the big dog and bill clinton, hillary clinton, and you're rolling out the two most popular a presidential figures or national political figures and barak obama and michelle obama is nothing but an added virtue. when are attribute and they're going to places that matter like georgia, like michigan, michelle obama is loved, barack obama is loved. and yes, he opened up an entire conversation around black men. but even if you look below the surface, i was looking at a speech given an assurance searched by may arise barakah of newark, and he's running for governor of new jersey. you

have people like frank scott, you have randall woodfin, you have all of these individuals who are in elected office who are doing that work. i have a feeling this is just my feeling because i had this experience for the past 40 years. i've actually being one that black man are going to march to the polls in roaring numbers in places like detroit and milwaukee, atlanta, and philadelphia, and brock obama is helping them yeah, it's going it will be it will be a big moment to see them on the trail. next week, for sure. >> it's good to see you, bakari, it's good to see madison. thank you, guys. thank you. >> john, for everyone looking for signs of what happens next in the middle east following the stunning killing of the hamas leaders. >> and we have important new development that's from the region. in opening statements set to begin in the murder trial of the man accused of killing two indiana girls, stay with

the wake of israel's killing of hamas leader yahya sinwar, talking about the impact of taking him out, the ripple effects. now, biden in berlin declared that now is the time for a ceasefire, calling this an opportunity for peace, secretary austin in brussels said that the u.s is top priority. now is the 101 hostages still being held in gaza? and he also talked about the possibility of the united states playing the role in stabilizing gaza. listen would participate in any kind of stabilization effort? >> which in gaza, i think that that's going to require the contributions of a number of countries hopefully countries in the region, a little will step up their quite possibly is, can be a part for the united states to play in that as well. what part that would be and what that would look like chris, we were going to have to work with our allies and partners to scope that out.

>> cnn's kayla tausche, she is traveling with the president biden in berlin. she's back with us once again. kayla, how significant would that be significant, kate, and it's something that the administration has been working on for quite some time behind the scenes. >> they've been calling it the day after plan for gaza blueprint sorts of how the gaza strip would be governed in a post-hamas world. of course, that has been elusive with a ceasefire and hostage deal stalled for the last several months. but earlier today, president biden expressed hope that sinwar's death could be at new opportunity for a path forward but definitely there, hamas represents a moment of justice. the blood of americans and israelis, palestinians in germany and so many others on his hands i told the prime minister visual yesterday that's also make this moment an opportunity to seek a path to peace, a better future in

gaza without hamas i look forward to discussing a ran berlin have been discussing just that today. first, biden with german chancellor olaf scholtz. now he's meeting with the leaders of the so-called european quad. the leaders of the uk, france, and germany altogether, just one of the many agenda the items, all of those allies have been pressing toward a ceasefire. and there's hope now that perhaps, perhaps this could be the time for a diplomatic resolution. kate kayla, thank you very much for all of your reporting. >> john. >> all right. with us now is cnn political and global affairs analyst barak ravid from axios barak. thank you so much for being with us and thank you. so much for all your work yesterday, helping us understand what was happening on the ground inside gaza and in israel as we learn this news, that ya-ya sinwar had been killed. all right, you just heard what american officials are saying about their hopes in so far as you can tell, what is the reality

inside of how israel sees this new situation >> well, i would sort of hold my horses a bit here you know? sinwar is dead. >> hamas took a huge blow but the basic situation in gaza and in the negotiations over a possible hostage and ceasefire deal this situation hasn't changed dramatically, at least for now. i'm not saying it cannot happen, but for now we're still at the same point. there are negotiations have been stalled for two months now there is no movement by either party towards a compromise, not hamas, not israel so we still stuck. the question is whether the biden administration is ready? >> to put a new proposal on the table, something that they hesitated to do for a few weeks now, they wanted to do and then they decided not to do. >> the question is if now after

sinwar's and when president biden says there's a new opportunity, whether now the president will put a new proposal on the table is it clear for israel or the u.s. for that matter with whom you would be negotiating on hamas side now that so much of the hamas leadership has gone well you know, the practical negotiations took place with hamas representatives in qatar, especially sinwar's deputy, a little higher was still alive and kicking. >> and you'll be the negotiator. he's been the negotiator for a year, continue to be there it's still unclear who constitutes power in gaza. and i think this is why we still need wait for things to develop what are the most interesting things i think you've highlighted. >> we talk about how israel may need to reassess hamas need to reassess even the united states needs to reassess the entity that may need the greatest three assessment. is iran right

now, iran is losing its proxies took a big hit on october 7. >> its deterrence was shattered. >> but if you look at what happened since then the so-called axis of resistance that is led by iran took a hit after hit, after hit. >> and when you look at the region today, a lot of those proxies that iran has built for years. i have been dramatically, weakened. hizballah's leader, nasrallah is not with us anymore. the entire oh from 30 top hezbollah leaders, only five are still alive at this militia lost two-thirds of its arsenal. same goes with hamas, which has been decimated. same goes with pro iranian militias in syria. so the radius are in a big problem and in how we sort of forgotten this thing is still looming over us. the israeli retaliation for this massive

missile attack by iran on october 1. 1. and this is going to happen in the next few days. we are days away from an israeli retaliation that will give iran another blow. so i think we are still in the, in the incident. we're still this is alive thing and we would only know where this thing is going after the israeli retaliation against iran brock standby, if you will. >> i don't know if you have returned video and other words you can see what we're putting up on the screen right now, but i understand we just got video from the idf showing the moment that the tank fired on the building or sinwar is right now. okay. so obviously the footage is from i've top us drone footage of a tank firing on the building where sinwar was in side. that was it right there. and we've seen other drone footage from inside the building of sinwar, apparently sitting down after where there, but that was a tank firing at the building, which again was some kind of almost routine

patrol. barack >> and, you just imagine that the soldiers sitting inside that didn't did not know that what they're doing right now is killing the mastermind of october 7, and one of the snipers who shot at sinwar and 19-year-old soldier who killed them didn't know that he was firing at sinwar. and only more than 12 hours later when the forces entered the building and saw the body, they realized, wait, maybe we got something here and only hours after it was confirmed that it is really yahya sinwar so when you think about the amount of intelligence efforts and operational efforts to catch it, you're sinwar at the end. it was sort of like al capone getting caught for tax fraud

brock ravid. one thing is clear, it's a remarkable moment, but as you point out beyond that, not much is clear at this point. thank you so much as always for your insight and analysis so if you listen to what vice president harris is min saying on the campaign trail, there's been a definite shift in her focus. the question is, why we have an answer? answer richard branson announces he will be a copilot on the first crewed flight of a sort in a space balloon kind of space 20 hey, miles above the earth getting a walk in terms well, look no further safe steps. >> best offer. just got better. now, when you purchase your brandon saved stamp, walk tub, you'll receive a three shower package. >> yes. >> a rain shower package. and if you call today, you'll also receive it the person off your entire order now you can enjoy the best of both worlds that
