>> us money

insults. the job for former president trump, taking a dark turn a charity dinner in new york i must say i was shocked when i heard that kabbalah was skipping the al smith dinner. i really hope that you would come because we can't get enough of hearing her beautiful laugh. she laughs like crazy. varadkar saying obama flores rush limbaugh use to say barak hussein, obama, baraka said obama, i used to think that the democrats were crazy for saying that men have periods. but then i met tim walz coming clean about using the wrong soundbite from donald trump during his interview with kamala harris i did make a

mistake and i want to say that i did make a mistake later the fight now heating up to save a texas death row inmate after his accuser was stopped. >> with just minutes to spare. i'll speak with barry scheck, co-founder of the innocence project good morning. >> on this friday. i'm erica hill in new york in for jim acosta. thanks for joining me in the cnn newsroom details and videos in the death of hamas leader yahya sinwar, israeli sources say this was actually just a routine military operation in southern gaza at a chance and counter that led to sinwar being killed three militants shot at is really forces. and when one of them retreated into a building, israel's military sent in this drone the video here, pretty remarkable. it actually captures some her final moments wounded, sitting amid the rubble alone in a chair. he

appears to be holding a piece of wood, throws it at the drone. this video from the idf capturing of course, the final moments of what was a year long man hunt. as you can see here, is really tanks firing into that building. dna testing with later confirm the man you just saw sitting in that chair was in fact sinwar now his death has massive implications across the middle east and certainly when it comes to israel's war in gaza, this morning, president biden meeting with german leaders in berlin is calling once again for a ceasefire the deciliter hamas represents a moment of justice here. the blood of americans, israelis, palestinians in germany, and so many others on his hands i told the prime minister visual yesterday. let's also make this moment an opportunity to seek a path to peace. a better future in gaza without hamas cnn's matthew chance is in she is travelling with the president and joins us from

berlin, kaitlan first to you in terms of this president's call. now new call for more diplomacy. how is that being received this morning? >> well, it's certainly a welcome development, especially from the allies that president biden is meeting with here in berlin today. all of the u.s.'s allies across europe have been working feverishly for the last several weeks to not only reach a temporary ceasefire between israel and hezbollah in lebanon, but also for several months to reach a ceasefire in gaza, where the humanitarian situation has been worsening for the better part of a year and certainly there is a belief among allies that the u.s because of its billions of dollars in aid and support that the biden administration has provided to israel, that it has the most powerful bully pulpit to potentially nudge prime minister netanyahu now closed so to a deal and us officials are more optimistic that the fact that netanyahu had biden appeared to be in agreement. in yesterday's phone call as well as in their public statements that there is now cautious optimism that perhaps

such a diplomatic off ramp is still within reach. but for the biden administration, overall, the jigsaw puzzle here has a lot of pieces of course reaching a hostage deal to free those hostages still being held in gaza is top of mind, but then they're also broader efforts at normalization. and then of course diffusing tensions with iran, where officials say retaliation by israel is still likely unexpected. erica yeah, absolutely. >> matthew, bring you in here are there any signs from israeli prime minister benjamin that benjamin netanyahu that he will in fact pursue a ceasefire and ideally a hostage deal at this point, given the developments well, it certainly seems to be that direction that he's hinting towards 70s issued a statement within the last 24 hours saying calling on hamas fighters to to surrender, to hand over any hostages that they may be holding israeli hostages. >> there were more than 100 of them, of course, still in the gaza strip. and an exchange he said he let them live and so that's the sort of olive

branch that these ready prime minister is holding out at a time that i think he says could be a window of opportunity see for a change in the negotiations a change in the war, possibly the beginning of the end, in his words, of the conflict in gaza. but that's been reflected we were reporting by israeli allies, the united states and others as well the problem erica, is is that the other side of this equation, hamas are not playing ball i mean, there's been a statement from them in the last couple of hours acknowledging for the first time that yahya sinwar has indeed been killed by israeli forces but it's a very defiant statement. saying that there will be an eventual victory for hamas. another statement from senior hamas political leaders saying that the hostages from israel will never be released until israel stopped its aggression against, against gaza and against the people of gaza. and so these aren't the kind of words which indicate that the hamas group

he's on the verge of some kind of capitulation to the israelis. and of course that's part of the problem. sinwar is dead, that's, that's the truth. that's a new truth of the matter. what we don't know is what kind of leadership, how hard line it's going to be that will take over the group now definitely the question this morning, one of several, matthew chance, kayla tausche. thank you also joining me, jonathan dekel-chen, his son as a gears and israeli american who was kidnapped by hamas and is still being held in gaza. john has good to have you here this morning. as all of this is sinking in, i know that you two were somewhat hopeful on the heels of this news yesterday, the fact that prime minister netanyahu said it could be a window of opportunity how much faith are you putting in that this morning? >> thank you for >> it's not it's not really a question of faith. i think really all sides, including israel and need to act and not

just make statements you know, it was somewhat encouraging but it shouldn't be case for israel or for the intermediaries about what might be possible now they absolutely have to seize the moment the world today is different than the world yesterday at this time. the head of the circuit, so to speak, has been cut off. israel as its army says, it has achieved that for aim of decapitating degrading hamas has a military organization as a governing organization. and so there really are it for the israeli side, no more good excuses for our government to not do everything it must be it through negotiations or other means borrowing just pure military action to get them home. but again, we've heard a lot of lip service from our prime minister and his ministers about getting

hostages home now is the time with with all the urgency in the world to actually do it? >> what have you heard from both? i know you have. as i understand it, i would say more regular contact with officials in the u.s. at the state department and also within the administration. perhaps a more regular contact with israeli officials. but what are you hearing from both this morning really from his eye, at least have heard nothing. >> i can't speak for other families from the israeli government so i can't really say much about that. as far as the u.s. government is concerned, we've already had over the course of the last 24 hours, a couple of discussions with state department and we'll be having a discussion later on today with senior officials in the white house look, i think they as your reporter said, a few moments ago, it's pretty chaotic right now on the palestinian side, it's unclear what the chain of command is going to look like. we heard

that statement from sinwar farms, deputy, but it's unclear with what authority he eats. and really what in terms of the mid-level hamas commanders. and that's really all that's left of the hamas military infrastructure. what they're going to decide to do at this moment. now that, all of their leadership is senior leadership has been incapacitated. so it is a moment both we hope of real opportunity to change the paradigm and enormous fear for hostage families because we cannot know what the captors of our loved ones are going to do right now they could take revenge. they could panic there, there are many different options. >> so there's actually more urgency now in this moment of cas to get hostages home, to push whatever needs to be pushed forward in order to get

them home. again, barring a purely middle military solution military rescue, because that's just as unfeasible today as it was yesterday the hostage families i know number you speak on a regular basis what has the conversation ben over the last? >> 24 hours? ish about where things stand and you're growing concerns as you point out for your loved ones, like your son, sagi horse still being held well i think there's just a real dichotomy you don't look israel, i suppose as a country is rejoicing is the right word, but certain feels a degree of satisfaction that having neutralized this personification of evil it's tomorrow. it's a good thing for israel. it's a good thing for the palestinians and for possibly the world but at the same time, it, there is you

know we simply don't know right now who we're dealing with if negotiations can be pushed forward, who exactly in israel and the intermediaries interact with the political leadership in qatar has been de-legitimize months now by sinwar before he they speak for hamas at the lower level officials in gaza speak so there's a great deal of concern right now. and our demand relief from the israeli government and from the intermediaries it's seize this moment. this is not a moment for chest-beating having eliminated truly the devil incarnate not a moment for deeper analysis it's, it's a moment to proactively take steps to get as many hostages

home as possible as quickly as possible. >> and we hope that is ultimately what happens for your family i know your son has three little girls waiting for him as well. jonathan dekel-chen. appreciate you joining us as always. thank you. >> thank you for having me coming up here, gaslighting the american people, vice president kamala harris's, that is exactly what donald trump is doing with his spin on events of january 6. so is that approach working and elon musk peddling, debunked election conspiracies in his bid to help donald trump. we're going to fact check those claims next before election day vice president harris bases voters and takes to pressing questions. >> lie. anderson cooper moderates a cnn presidential town hall, kamala harris, wednesday at nine eastern on cnn lot because running a small business takes them. that's why

campaign double feature in the state of michigan today, vice president harris and former president trump barnstorming the battleground state for several events, harris trying to fortify that blue wall and the crucial she'll swing-state votes that could decide this election. she set to meet with union workers where she is set to emphasize her plan to protect american jobs. donald trump for his part, returning to detroit for the first time since linking the city to a likening the city to a developing nation while he was speaking at the detroit economic club last week, also on the former president since agenda a roundtable with michigan voters and a rally in detroit in elon musk's first solo town hall supporting former president trump, the spacex mogul peddled some deep 2020 election conspiracies. here's some of what he had to say if thursday's event in pennsylvania when you have mail-in ballots and no, no sort of proof-of-citizenship, it becomes almost impossible to prove cheating is the issue. there are some very strange things that happen that that,

that are statistically incredibly unlikely marshall cohen joining us now. >> so marshall musk is promoting conspiracy theories that we know to be false that have been corrected. a number of times. but this seems like a good morning to do it again walk us through the facts here, if you would >> erica, good morning to you. almost every day. elon musk pedals these conspiracy theories in this election disinformation on his social media platform. but now with this first solo town hall and supportive donald trump, he was doing it in-person face-to-face with voters in a critical battleground state, you just heard some of his his comments. i want to actually play some more. we can get the full context here, but do not believe everything you are about to hear. a lot of it is inaccurate we'll play the clip and then we'll fact check everything after >> was a sub question of like, say, the dominion voting machines at it is weird that i think there used in

philadelphia and in america county but not in other places. and not seem like a heck of a coincidence all right. >> so couple of things here. number one, he mentioned dominion machines were in marokopa and philadelphia he's half-right. dominion was in marokopa, which is phoenix in arizona, but dominion was not in philly periods. so just it's completely wrong about that. number two, he said there were statistical anomalies in both of those states. what a strange coincidence that there were statistical problems with the results. there weren't erica, you know this i know this democratic and republican officials in both of those cities have repeatedly said the results were accurate. the machines accurately counted the votes. they have done audits and double checks and everything, and frankly, it's just not accurate. also, in the beginning of the segment, you played that clip about him

claiming that it's almost impossible to find cheating because of mail-in voting, mail-in voting are paper ballots. they are traceable, trackable, they are auditable. it is one of the most secure ways to cast a ballot. so the experts that i've spoken to have all said over and over and over that that's just garbage. it's not true. or not true, but yet it keeps getting repeated, which is why it's important to keep repeating the facts. >> marshall, appreciate it. thank you. >> so what is typically a mostly a lighthearted charity roast, turning a little bit dark when it was donald trump's turn at the mic. he is profanity laced comments and insults attacking his democratic opponents described it's below the belt, cringy and awkward. here's a quick look i must say i was shocked when i heard that kamala was skipping the al smith dinner. i really hope that you would come because we can't get enough of hearing her beautiful laugh. she laughs like crazy. baraka saying obama, flores rush

limbaugh used to say barak hussein, obama. baraka said obama, we have someone in the white house who can barely talk fairly put together to coherent sentences who seems to have mental faculties that child is said is a person that has nothing going no intelligence whatsoever, but enough about kamala harris chuck schumer is here looking very glum, considering how woke your party has become. if kamala loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president. kamala did an interview on fox news yesterday it went so poorly for her that the democrats have been forced to install another 100 drop boxes throughout the city. the only piece of advice i would have for her and the event that she wins would be

there there were a lot of moments. let's discuss now with cnn senior political commentator, former trump campaign adviser david urban, also with us democratic strategist and former senior adviser to bernie sanders presidential campaigns chuck russia, nice to see both of you this morning. so david trump was sort of, you know, on brand trump last night parts of it though, did feel a little bit darker. we also learned this morning that he said some folks at fox helped him write some of those jokes not all of them landed in the room either. he felt a little desperate at times listen, erica, i disagree by the way, props to chuck for that hat. >> love the hat. chuck, i'm aware of when next time but listen, any comedian tried to do comedy, you know, trump said, look, it's tough up here doing this. it's hard you had jim gaffigan up there, taking some pokes at donald trump, which you don't show what which, are, pretty, pretty, pretty tough and that's the

nature of the beast. it's kind of a roast if you watch a roast, if you watch any of these, have you watched the roast of tom brady on netflix that makes this look tame. and so that hunter's really only different audiences. the tom brady roast, reason eric derek, i get it. >> i get it. but the nature of this al smith, it has always been very pointed, sharp barbs politically, if you watched the last couple, it's been like that. listen, the white house correspondents dinner which i've attended on numerous occasions, and i'm sure you have. has been brutal to donald trump. i mean, brutal. it makes this look, remember michelle wolf, the hostess. she was securing sarah huckabee sanders up the buettner with a cudgel. i don't remember anybody saying, oh, it was terrible. she shouldn't have said those things. donald trump landed a lot of good lines, a lot of lot of funny stuff. and you know, it was glaringly, it was glaringly noticeable that kamala harris wasn't not there for the first time in 40 plus years. the democratic nominee

did not show up and i thought it was just bad form on her part. listen, if you're going to be president united states, you got to be tough. you gotta take some subs, some punches now and then and you're going to be, if you're gonna be present, need to be able to sit there and do it. trump showed that he could do it last night gaffigan up there the punching him in and doing it and laughed and it was a missed opportunity for kamala harris check. >> would you agree? i mean, harris sits in kherson in a video with a little help from mali shannon, snl according to reports in the room, who may have fell a little flat. was this a missed opportunity for the vice president because saint donald trump over here on this side, you're not going to soften me about talking about how pretty my hat is, but let me tell you about what happened last he is proven that she is tough because she walked right into fox news this weekend that a sit down and looked like a threat we round battle that i thought was really good on her behalf. now, lashing out at the al smith dinner, there's a reason why donald trump went to that and it wasn't just a harris see some of his friends go back to new york, will be able to do fox and friends like

he did this morning. he has an opportunity to fix a problem that he has made about public policy. if you care about one of the major public policies, you've already you run to your corner, but the difference with the persuadable voters now as his likability. so i'm sure his professional team told him to go there, lighten it up, tell some jokes because the dinner itself would not get to those voters. but all the clips after that dinner of him being more light-hearted and trying to land those jokes that he was saying, even though there were reports last that than he was fighting back and didn't want to do those. he wanted to do a campaign speech, but i give him credit. he tried the jokes. they just didn't land because he needs to come off as more likable with these persuadable voters who don't really want to be with kamala harris, but they don't think he's likeable. that's the little bit of folks from the strategists that are left in the middle right now hey, david, in terms of that interview, that harris did with bret baier on fox, i was struck with the fact that he is now apologizing for the kip that clip that he played in the interview with harris earlier this week, she called him out on it now this is what he's saying. >> just take a listen.

>> but, i, did make a mistake and i want to say that i did make a mistake when i called for a soundbite, i was expecting a piece of the enemy from within, from maria bartiromo's interview to be tied to the piece from your town hall harris, were you asked the former president about the enemy from within? then it just had the piece about the town hall david, curious, why do you think he was making the correction at that point coming on thursday the day after i guess brett baer is a good journalists and he's recognizing the fact that he made a mistake in one of the cleared up for people, get want to seem like he was trying to hide the ball brett's a very fair guide. >> listen to chuck's point. i thought i give the former the current vice president a lot of credit for going in there. i don't think she answered the questions. i don't think she helped herself but i do give her credit for sitting down and listened. she's accomplished what she wants to do. she now gets to go to these events and say, like i went into the lion's den as in some sort of

badge of honor, donald trump, does it every day, talk takes reporters questions has been on cnn, tons of times, not necessarily the most friendly environment. so, so good good on her for doing it once she should be doing over and over and over and over again. and they said, i'll just take issue with one of the things. chuck schumer said about why trump was there trump loves the catholic faith, love catholics in america. he's been attending the dinner for a very, very long time. you noted his they he made some comments about his sister attending the dinner his sister being a big supporter of the archdiocese. he has a personal relationship with cardinal dolan and there's a big distinction here between the two campaigns and trump campaign is doing very well amongst catholic voters. you just had the harris campaign with an incredible full paw and trump made light of it at the dinner last night, about governor gretchen whitmer giving fake communion and a tiktok video in which really struck catholic voters is wrong

and he made a joke about that. so, you know, trump is actively courting catholics where kamala harris is kind of actively ignore and catholics by her, it most illustrated by not showing up at this dinner check, you look like you want to jump in i did. >> i didn't know how this microphone worked back-and-forth and i didn't want to step on david, but i wanted to say a few things there there's one thing that's going on here for sure. and david's right about her going into the land him, but we all know that donald trump skipped the 60 minutes debate and we can debate on who's doing what interviews were 18 days before the election we're in get out the vote mode. i know you were talking about the vice president and brock obama getting out on the road. michelle obama, who is the queen of all democrats getting out on the road. that's what it's about right now. most folks have picked their side. it's about getting those folks out. kamala harris is not going to lose because somebody moves from kamala harris to donald trump. if we lose, we lose because those folks decided to stay home. so it's about get out the vote i was on the phone just this morning with local 19 and philadelphia where they're having blocked walks this weekend. that's going on

around the country. where folks are mobilizing to get their people out. that's what this comes down to in the final days as the strategists here trying to figure out where are those last votes that we've got to get out? >> we're going to have to leave it there because we're out of time. >> just one quick one quick one quick point. just want to tell you she's doing so poorly in pennsylvania that bob casey this morning higher jeopardy, go to bob casey is website check it out. bob casey has an ad where he's tying himself to donald trump. he is saying, i support donald trump's position positions. i support this. how badly must be going for kamala harris, bob casey is running an ad in pennsylvania saying, i'm for donald trump. cats and dogs sleeping together. chuck, it's terrible. >> we're going good. we're yeah. always nice to see you both. david, next time you don't get to do every time you go so in for just one more. thank you, guys. good to see you serious note, spared in just minutes before his execution, the co-founder of the innonc
