event that she wins would be not to let her husband, doug anywhere near the nannies to me too crude. i used the thing that democrats were crazy for saying that men have periods but then i met tim walz to outright nasty and profane against former new york city mayor bill to blasio, sitting just a few feet away. >> he was at terrible mirror. i don't give if this is comedy i was terrible he did a horrible he did a horrible job. >> vice president kamala harris wasn't at the dinner, but recorded a video for the event with actress molly shannon playing her old saturday night live character, the excitable catholic school girl, mary katherine gallagher sometimes when i get nervous, i stick my fingers under my arms and i sit on like that character her advice for the evening. maybe don't say anything negative about catholics.

>> i would never do that, no matter where i was, that would be like criticizing detroit in detroit, which trump recently did reports from the scene, say harris is video fell a bit flat in the room but i think that she blew it by not being there. she should have been there. humor can be such an effective political tool. >> an annual gathering since 1945, the al smith dinner is held at manhattan's waldorf astoria hotel tell and benefits catholic charities. but it's better known as an event where presidential candidates can joke about each other. but the barbs in recent years have been stinging like these in 2016 between trump and hillary clinton this is the first time ever, ever that hilary is sitting down and speaking to major corporate leaders and not getting paid for it. i have now stood next to donald trump longer than any of his campaign made anna jurors what's the cost of bombing at the dinner you never want a bad joke or a sort of a self-inflicted

disaster to become a dominant part of the conversation when you're trying to get momentum and win the race donald trump said that staffers at fox news helped him write his speech for the al smith dinner saying they wrote some jokes and quote, for the most part, i didn't like any of them. >> fox news denies that issuing a statement saying that no employee or freelancer of theirs wrote those jokes. wolf, i, brian todd, thanks. thank you very, very much. let's get back to the campaign trail right now where former president barak obama will soon hold his second campaign event to rally support for kamala harris. we're standing by for that rally and arizona right now. we're also learning more about how the harris campaign is leveraging the star power of both barak and michelle obama, joining us now from arizona cnn senior political commentator, david axelrod is a former obama senior adviser. david, thanks so much for joining us. so barakin, michelle obama, of course, are two of the most popular figures as we all know,

in the democratic party. but voting in many places as already begun as the harris campaign in your opinion, waited too long to put them out there on the campaign trail no, i don't think so. >> this is when there's a great deal of focus and look, they're using them in the way that i think they should be used. this is a get out the vote time in this campaign, and they are trying to there, there is a persuasion element to what they're doing out there. but there is an excitement element. what they're doing out there, they attract big crowds. they draw attention to the campaign and that is an organizational tool for campaigns, for a campaign that's trying to get voters engaged in and voters to come out and obviously they speak to broad constituencies, but also specific constituencies within the party. some of whom younger voters, voters of color and so on have been lagging a bit from the numbers from 2020 they can

be helpful there. they could be helpful with suburban voters michelle obama has an image that sort of transcends politics and speaks very much to women who are going to be extraordinarily important element of the harris mix. if she's going to win this election. so i think the timing is right and now they need to be out there intensively because this is go time certainly is as you know, president obama faced some criticism for his comments, recent comments about some black men not supporting kamala harris, former harris staffer ashley etienne, told me yesterday that president obama generated and i'm quoting her now, way too much negative news with his criticism do you think there's something to that? >> will president obama addressed that? again, what do you think look, i one thing i know about him because i've

spent a lot of time with him over the years. >> wolf is he he's a he's a very fast learner. he takes, he takes in people's responses and reaction i'm sure he did some reflection on how he approached that particular conversation. i haven't talked to him about it, but i'm sure that he did. and he said other things in that conversation that didn't get covered, that were very motivational and i my guess is that he'll lead with that the next time we are taking a closer look at some of the polling that seems to be narrowing in some of the battleground states the election as we all know, still 18 days away. >> but if it were being held today, who do you think would win? >> you know, will be a fool to answer that question because you're talking about margins. we have never seen before in polling, you get seven battleground states. i think the largest margin on the average is two points and most of them are under one point

when you look at polling averages and that's just way too close to call. i don't know. added involves questions of organization for example, who has the strongest organizations in these battleground states and that's an open in question i think that may be an edge for democrats in those blue wall states because they'd an organizing for a long time, first for biden and now for harris, but with an infusion of new volunteers for harris but i wouldn't hazard a guess and this is close enough so that any number of things may influence the outcome. in the next 18 day. >> those polls and other battleground states, you correctly pointed out right now, show the race is too close to call within the so-called margin of error. so we'll watch what happens over these next 18 days. david axelrod. thanks very much for joining us well, thank you. just ahead. the

shipping and free many kids at four patriots.com anderson cooper 360 tonight at 8:00 on cnn kamala harris appears to be getting under donald trump's skin once again tonight, as she's pouncing on reports that he's canceled some media appearances because he's exhausted the claim. >> trump is angrily disputing let's bring in cnn's chief media analyst, brian stelter. brian, we're seeing two very different media strategies from kamala harris it's in donald trump break this down for us yeah. trump is mostly playing to his base, wolf promoting himself on fox and right-wing podcasts while harris is taking more chances and trying to reach different types of audiences, including anti-trump republicans. perhaps she is, as she says, the underdog and thus taking more risks now trump did face pointed questions from voters at a univision town hall

earlier this week. but for the most part, he's playing it safe and recently he's backed out of several planned interviews yesterday, i reported that he canceled an interview that was scheduled with nbc about the economy tonight, nbc is confirming that report and saying the interview is not been rescheduled yet. also today cnn said that trump is not accepted this networks invitation to have a town hall event in pennsylvania next week. cnn is moving forward and only having a town hall with harris that's happening next wednesday. now, trump is hitting the podcast circuit, appearing on shows that appeal to young men. and today he visited the fox news morning show one day after attacking the network ceo for allowing demo the crowds on fox's air clearly trump is watching fox and getting angry about what he's seen listen to this comment that he made today i'm going to see rupert murdoch accept big event. >> i don't know that i see i'm going to tell you i'm going to tell him something very simple because i can't talk to anybody else don't put a negative commercials for 21 days, don't put and don't put

on there. they're horrible people that come in lie. i'm going to say rupert, please do it this way. right. and then we're going to have a victory because i think everyone wants said you're going trump is clearly concerned that attack ads are working that negative ads against him are really bothering him and he's saying he's going to complain about it to the patriarch of fox, rupert murdoch. >> now, today a fox spokesman declined to tell me if the two men actually did meet today, but but here's the interesting thing. trump asking fox to ban anti-trump ads is arguably against the law. fox operates local tv stations across the country that are subject to fcc oversight. the fcc has rules in place that require stations to be fair about airing political ads. for example, he can't just run a republicans ads and not run at democrats now the fcc doesn't have the same oversight of cable. the cable outlets like fox still follow the spirit of the rules in the bottom line, wolf is it rupert murdoch is never going to turn down anyone's advertising money. >> as you know, brian fox, anchor bret baier made a

surprising comment about his interview the other day with kamala harris. tell us about that that's right. he acknowledged a mistake in the production of the interview playing the wrong soundbite. kamala harris called him out for not showing trump, referring to enemies from within and saying that's the biggest threat to the u.s. so i think bear deserves credit for acknowledging that was a mistake in the interview. more importantly, though trump continues to repeat this very sinister reference to enemies from within, he said it again today on a podcast with fox host tyrus saying, enemies from within or worse than on the outside, woolf, yeah, he's keeps saying that our brian stelter. thank you very, very much coming up. we're getting new details right now and the israeli military operation that killed the leader of hamas, including yahya sinwar, was hunted down. and what the autopsy reveals about his death special guests discuss some of the most significant political films of all time. this movie

the killing of the hamas leader yahya sinwar as israel releases new video and new details are emerging, cnn's matthew chance has an update from the middle east patrol that killed yahya sinwar the hamas leader, troops apparently stumbled upon in the ruins of southern gaza this is the tank fire, the israeli military says was part of the attack that ultimately killed the man who orchestrated the october 7 attacks. shortly after he was caught in this remarkable drone video, resting on a chair and lashing out with a stick. he last gesture of defiance as israeli forces closed in okay. well this is what's left of the neighborhood of tel sultan in the southern gaza strip. you

can see israeli military says it's the same area they took me to oppress trip last month was in the rubble of the same buildings israel's most reviled enemy briefly emerged and was killed through the remains of sinwar are being held at a secret location in israel, according to local media reports israeli sources tell cnn they could eventually be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for the release of israeli hostages as israel weighs how to create pressure quickly on hamas in the aftermath of the sinwar killing but friday prayers in gaza the hamas leader was mourned in his battered hometown of khan younis concern, returning sinwar's body would rally supporters and risk his grave site becoming a

shrine. but across israel, families of israeli hostages are stepping up pressure for any deal to bring their loved ones home that means swapping sinwar's remains says one israeli source. then fine are emerging about the final moments of the hamas leader with the pathologists, the carry that the autopsy of sinwar telling cnn that he died of a gunshot wound contradicting what the israeli military earlier said. >> they said he was killed in tank fire. it's also emerged that israeli soldiers on the ground in the gaza strip, who didn't know who they killed actually cut off one of the fingers of sinwar and sent it to a lab to help identify ultimately the hamas leader back to i'm matthew chance in tel aviv. thank you very much, matthew. well, let's get some more right now in the uncertainty and potentially the

opportunity in the middle east right now, after yahya sinwar's death, cnn anchor kaitlan collins is on the ground for us in tel aviv tonight, kaitlan, how much influence does the u.s. have? first of all, i'm israel's next step house is hoping to have a lot of influence here, but judging on the relationship that we've seen between the united states and israel over the last several months, specifically between president biden and prime minister netanyahu. it's not clear that he is going to take the win as us officials might hope he does here with this monumental death of ya-ya's al-sinwar and use this moment as you've heard from president biden and vice president harris to talk about what the day after this war looks like in gaza there was a very different message that is being delivered by the u.s. than what we are hearing from the israeli prime minister. and just to show you how carefully they are navigating the politics so this, listen to what vice president harris had to say today, and also president biden about what this moment could mean and how they

could use the leverage of sinwar's death here we have got to end this war. and i think that what has happened now with the killing of sinwar creates an opportunity for us to end this sworn bring the hostages home wrong, reveal grill, ran in a way that is message that we are hearing from prime minister netanyahu, who is saying this is not the end of the war, but this could be the beginning of the end. there are major questions about what israel does next here when it comes to the push for a ceasefire, for a hostage release, but also looking to what that retaliation from israel towards iran is going to be after that major missile tack something that officials here frankly were far more focused on, given as you just heard, matthew laid out there how happenstance actually the death of yahya sinwar happened to be just a routine patrol

rolling when they came across him during that firefight and the other part of this, it's complicating. it is the election happening back at home or just two-and-a-half weeks away from when us voters will go to the polls and certainly this is something that netanyahu is taking into consideration as well because he was talking to former president donald trump. he placed a phone call to him earlier today and this is what trump said about his view of what netanyahu should do next. >> he's called me. >> i have not spoken. i'm going to speak to him properly now well, look, he's doing a good job. biden is strike to hold him back just so you understand biden, is far superior to the to the vp. he's tried to hold him back and they probably should be doing the ap saying he believes that the israeli prime minister should do the opposite of what the white house is urging here. wolf, it just shows you how carefully all of this is being navigated as the white house is hoping thank you. use the leverage here. it's a major

question though, of the influence, if any, they have on this matter. secretary of state blinken is being sent to your i should note to israel in the coming days kaitlan collins in tel aviv for us. thank you very much. and we'll be right back before election day. >> vice president harris basis voters and takes to pressing questions lie. >> anderson cooper moderates a cnn presidential townhall kamala harris wednesday at nine eastern on cnn there's some been going around the globe good thing, gertrude found delsam how, what's going around is 12-hour cough relief answer. >> guilty the family that takes delsam together, feels better together and you driver you need new insurance. zebra compares over 100 insurance companies to find savings, no one else can up to $400 a year you look, it's my stop the zebra. we do the searching. you do the saving of flood of
