path seize this opportunity while maintaining us policy. and the war progressives, our panel of experts is here to break it down washington where the state of our union is in the thick of it were just 16 days from election day in more than 11 million voters have already cast their ballots in what seems likely to be a tight presidential race until the very end, the very last vote has been counted in dueling swing state rallies last night vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump offered voters sharply different closing messages. harris kept the focus on trump questioning his fitness for office while in a major speech to the voters of pennsylvania, donald trump went off on a 12 minute tangent about former pro golfer arnold palmer which included this bizarre anecdote about the athletes

>> and i say that in all due respect to women and i left women showers with the other pros they came out of there. they said, oh my god weinstein got quotes longed called kamala harris, a quote, schitt's vice president canceled scheduled interviews, continued to push lies about the 2020 election, including the notion that january 6 was a government staged riot, also called january 6, quote, a day of love compared the january 6 defendants to japanese americans in internally when camps during world war ii and at one rally decided to instead of speaks, davidson sway on stage for 39 minutes joining us now is the speaker of the house, mike johnson, who's in michigan campaigning for the republican ticket on his american revival tour speaker

johnson and thanks for joining us. >> let's start with israel. you spoke with prime minister netanyahu yesterday the us is right now investigating a leak of highly classified intelligence documents posted online that appear to show israeli plans for a retaliatory strike against iran. what's the latest on the investigation into this leak and what did your conversation with netanyahu go like, how did that go >> the leak is very concerning. there's some your conversation with netanyahu go like, how did that go? >> yeah the leak is very concerning. there's some serious allegations being made, their investigation underway, and i'll get a briefing on that in a couple of hours. there's a classified level briefing and then other but we're following it closely. look, i talked to my friend bibi prime minister netanyahu yesterday to encourage him. i mean, he's done on an extraordinary job. i think prosecuting that war. and if he had taken joe biden's advice,

they'd be in a much weaker position right now. i think that the united states needs to stand unequivocally by our ally there right now, there is really, we're on a precipice. i think jake, of a new era of security and freedom for israel and i think we're very a close. i hope i pray to end in that conflict there, but we cannot equivocate. we can't appease iran. now is the time for maximum pressure campaign against the head of the snake. it's not hezbollah and hamas and the proxies that are ultimately the threat it is iran itself. and i think we need to recognize that, right? reality right now. >> is there any strike against the iranians by israel that you think would be too much that would risk escalating matters so much that the united states is actually pulled into the war directly guess their strategy or trying to micromanage it i think that we do harm to the overall cause. >> if that's our position, and i think that's what the

biden-harris administration has tried to do it too many points along the way. they have withheld weapons systems when congress in a bipartisan manner, duly enacted, that these things would be supplied and, you know, i've had many very serious, deep conversations with administration officials over the previous month urging them to do what, what congress has voted to do and i think in many ways they've kind of empowered or ron, i mean, look, president trump is right when he says on the campaign trail that none of this happened under his watch, it didn't because we did not empower it. the biden-harris policies did they relaxed sanctions on iran, which allowed them to have the resources and the time and the opportunity to do what happened on october 7, more than a year ago, that great atrocity and to continue all of this. so look, we need to stand by, is iran is a terrorist regime, and it works through terrorist organizations to do great harm to our allies and ultimately what they hope to do is to us. and that's a real threat to us right now as well. >> let's turn to the 2024

race. harm to our allies and ultimately what they hope to do is to us and that's a real threat to us right now as well. >> let's turn to the 2024 race. you heard president trump's remarks. let me read you the lead of the associated press story about trump's rally in pennsylvania, quote donald trump's campaign suggested he would begin previewing his closing arguments saturday night with election day barely two weeks away. but the former president kicked off his rally with a detailed story about arnold palmer at one point, even praising the late legendary golfers genitalia, unquote mr. speaker, you're crossing all over the country. you're working hard to get republicans over the line in this election. you're talking about substantive issues. is this really the closing message you want voters to hear from donald trump's stories about arnold palmer's well, listen, i think that the headline that i read about the rally in pennsylvania yesterday was the big question and it's the one that commonly harris has not been able or willing to answer and that is, are you better off now than you were under the

trump administration? >> four years ago? and no one can answer that question with a yes. i mean, no one and that's why kamala harris herself avoids the question. look, i've been traveling the country nonstop, jake, i've been in over 230 cities and 40 states right now and i'm spending these final closing weeks in the swing states, in blue states, and toss up districts for the house. i'm absolutely convinced there's an energy out there right now. i'm convinced that we're going to win the white house, the senate and the house, and we're going to have a very aggressive agenda to get the economy going again, to help everyone looked everywhere i go, jake, everybody has the same concerns. they're fed up and they're fired up about the cost of living that's an affordable now and the rising crime rates everywhere and the weakness on the world stage and the wide open border. and they know that kamala harris is responsible for those things. and they know that president trump is offering alternatives. so put the rhetoric aside, look at the record of these two candidates. this student b, about personalities. it should be about policy. and i think people are looking at that seriously and that's why i'm convinced we're going to win. >> i'm sure that you think

that a policy debate would be better than a personality debate. but if president biden had gone on stage and spoke about the size of a pro golfers i think you would be on this show right now saying you were shocked and appalled and you would suggest it was evidence of his cognitive decline? i wonder how trump's remarks, not just the one about arnold palmer on his quote, manhood, but everything we've heard from trump this week, how it fits in with the analysis that the new york times offered. a few days ago, they looked at his speeches from 2015 and 2016, and looked at the speeches today and said, quote with the passage of time, the 78-year-old former president's speeches have grown darker harsher. i know you want to talk about policy and i respect that, but the reason that donald trump is not up ten points is because of comments like that one, where people do have concerns about his fitness, his acuity, and his stability why is he talking about

pennsylvania voters lot. >> let me tell you that donald trump is doing rallies around the country to say something i don't want to be talking about, right? donald trump is out there saying it it but you continue to talk as well because you won't wait a minute. hold on. won't address it. he is out there talking about address it don't have to say it. i get it. there's lines in a rally when president trump's is that a rally? sometimes you'll speak for two straight hours you're you're questioning his stamina, his mental acuity. joe biden couldn't do that for five minutes. that's how you started this segment. you said, what if biden was in a rally like that? he could and phil the room, donald trump does you know why? because they see him as a change agent and the understand he has a record of performance in his first administration. we have the greatest economy in the history of the world. jake, not just the u.s everybody's wages were going up. everybody had more

jobs available to them. the pathway out of poverty was widened for more people that's what the american people are looking at. we're going to have a demographic shift and this electorate, jake, there's going to be when they count the votes and they do the math and the other side of this i'm convinced you're going to have a record number of hispanic and latino voters coming into the republican party. a record number of black and african-american voters, record number of jewish voters and union workers and hardworking families because they understand the harris policies have destroyed their family finances. they have made them less safe in their cities. they have a wide-open border with illegals and terrorists coming into our country. this is not working for them american people, they want to change and that's what they see. and donald trump. so he has fund at the rallies, he says things that are off the cuff, but i'm telling you i've been in those events. i've been in those arenas and people have a great time at those arenas. so you can cherry-pick a few words are lines that have a two-hour event. we could do that with kamala harris after a 20 minute event because she does words salads and she couldn't she couldn't hold court like that

without a teleprompter. we all know that the facts the american people see it, and the media can pick it apart, but people are going to vote. they're going to vote what's best for their family and they see that in trump, in multiple interviews, this week, donald trump repeatedly referred to prominent democrats and others on the left the united states, american citizens as quote the enemy from within, unquote. and he suggested as president, he would want to use the national guard or military against them. let me play some of that for our viewers. >> the bigger problem are the people from within. we have some very bad people. we have some sick people, radical left, lunatics. and i think there it should be very easily handled by if necessary, by national guard or if really necessary by the military they, because they can't let that happen one of the first things you did when you joined in congress was to create the honor and civility caucus. >> does wanted to use the military against political opponents. would that pass

muster with the civility that's not jake, you know, that's not what he's talking about there. what he's talking about is marauding gangs of dangerous, violent people who are destroying public property. >> he talked about adam schiff rent and other american citizen. >> i talked about governor youngkin tried this with me too. that's he was very clear. let me let me play because he was asked about this later on because fox always likes to give donald trump an opportunity to clean it up and he always says no, no. i said what i meant. here's what he said when asked about it. the next day it is the enemy from within and they're very dangerous. they're marxists and communists and fascists. and the sick. i use a guy like adam schiff because they made up the russia of russia, russia hoax. it took two years to solve the problem absolutely nothing was done wrong, et cetera. they're dangerous for our country. we have china we have a russia, we have all these countries. if you have a smart president that they could all be handled. the more difficult the pelosi's,

these people, this so sick and so evil he's that, he's talking about using the us military against not marauding gangs of venezuelan wait a minute. if nancy pelosi, nancy pelosi's husband, paul. so let me just say if a democratic presidential candidate said that you and your wife for evil, and that the military should be used against you. i would say that's disgusting. >> well, thank you. and some have said that about us because they don't like my politics. i did not hear president trump in that clip, so he's going to sick the military on adam schiff. that's not what he's saying. you got two different clips in two different contexts what president trump is talking about is that they have been attacking and maligning him from the day he came down that golden escalator that everybody knows that's true in 2015, 2016, that's when this began. he's been the most attacked malign, political figure in us history. they've tried to kill him twice in the last few months. i mean, this is real and he feels does that acutely and jake, you would you we're under attack like he is all the

time every day they i mean, iran, who has assassination attempt against him, but that it's not crazy, dangerous for the country, nancy, it on friday fascinate donald trump there's this conflation of any they're not they're not, but no, but the political attacks have been relentless and they have been baseless and they made up the russian collusion hoax and they went after him and it had been going after him ever since they tried to impeach him twice. i mean, they've done real damage in the in american sign after me and it had been going after him ever since they tried to impeach him twice. i mean, they've done real damage in the american psyche. what i'm talking about is the political attacks that are so over the top, kamala harris is use language saying he's so dangerous to the country. i mean, i've had colleagues in the house say he must be eliminated, he must be extinguished. it's literally i'm talking about this stuff is you know, my against to keep the peace in our streets in the summer of 2020 that my democrat

colleagues call this summer of love. it was easy, it was may him and democratic progressive mayors and governors allowed it to go on, including tim walz, who allowed minneapolis to burn. and it's still not rebuilt look trump is talking about restoring law and order and i'm telling you, you can market people in the media, can market, but that resonates with the american people. they are sick of being afraid on the streets of their cities donald trump can bring order back to the chaos. they know that they're willing to give a little on his social media on language he uses it. he called corralled six a day of love. >> he said that the january 6 criminals, the prisoners who violently attacked your place of work, he compared them to the victims of japanese internment camps and that guy is in favor of law and order >> president trump had and kept law and order when he says that the campaign rallies, except on to have hot wars around the

globe during his administration no look he he's right. russia did not invade ukraine under his watch, israel was not attacked viciously by iran and its proxies because they were afraid to do so, russia did not invade ukraine under his watch, israel was not attacked viciously by iran and its proxies because they were afraid to do so under that commander chief under president trump, there not afraid right now, are our allies are nervous, our enemies are empowered because they see an opportunity. the only person that they fear less our enemies abroad, the only person they fear less than joe biden is commonly harris at the end of the day when you go into the ballot box, i would just encourage everybody ask yourself quietly are you comfortable with kamala harris being the commander in chief of the u.s. armed forces, at the most dangerous moments since world war ii, she could not handle that. our enemies would have an opportunity there. and people think about those things and that's why they're going to vote for donald trump's going to win and be reelected prime minister in questions from a completely different interviewer. but speaker

johnson, i appreciate your time today. thank you so much. and best of luck on the campaign trail on these last 16 days, i hope it is a peaceful and successful election. and that all the ballots from legal voters are counted and that the actual winner take it's office. that would be fantastic. good to see you, speaker johnson you too, my friend. >> thanks so much. >> is currently harris moving to the middle? i'm going to ask independent senator bernie sanders what he thinks next. plus harris and liz cheney are hitting the trail tomorrow. that's right. >> liz cheney, is there anybody left to be persuaded? >> our panel on the campaign's closing strategy, you have before election day, vice president harris bases voters and takes to pressing questions, lie andrew it's in cooper moderates a cnn presidential town hall, kamala harris, wednesday at nine eastern on cnn good day to cough. oh, no bob, i call later

union. i remain jake tapper tomorrow. kamala harris will make her case to a key group of voters, republicans, who are reluctant to vote for trump when she campaigns alongside former republican congresswoman liz cheney of wyoming in the blue wall states of michigan and pennsylvania and wisconsin joining us now is a senator. on the other side of the aisle from danny, who has been campaigning for harris independent senator bernie sanders from the great state of vermont. senator. thanks so much for joining us. what does it say that kamala harris is starting this week with only 16 days left campaigning with liz cheney, a very conservative former congresswoman, daughter of dick cheney, obviously, but she has not yet held a public campaign event with, you arguably the leader of the progressive movement in the united states well, for thought, what i think it says is that what the vice president understands? >> is that there are millions of people really disgusted with trump's constant lying with

his attempt to prevent the first peaceful transition of power, his undermining of american democracy and that's what she's talking about. but also last slide, jake, you may have noticed trump held a rally and the big issue that he talked about and please forgive me if i mentioned this on television, was apparently the size of adl palmas that was the major issue that he discussed. and also referred to the vice president of the united states as that s hit so i think you've got a lot of americans, whether you are a conservative, whether you're progressive or moderate, saying, really, we have major issues facing this country. is this the kind of human being that we want as president of the united states. and there is a reason why trump's own vice president mike pence, terribly conservative, says he's not voting for donald trump. there is a reason why mitt romney, the 2012 republican candidate, not voting for donald trump. i

think what what commonly is trying to do now is make it clear that a above and beyond issues and obviously, liz cheney and i disagree on everything on the issues there are reasons to vote against trump. >> it does seem as though including in these blue wall states, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, democrats are facing an uphill battle in these last two weeks. it including to retain the senate in michigan, wisconsin, ohio, pennsylvania, the democratic senate candidate is trying to appeal to voters by using their record working with trump to appeal to voters. your friend senator bob casey of pennsylvania. let me play a little bit of the ad he released yesterday jc is leading the effort to stop corporate greed flation, and price gouging. kasie bucked biden to protect fracking and he's sided with trump to end nafta and put tariffs on china to stop them from cheating in this house. we agree it's bob casey who is doing right by

pennsylvania you think that's a bad sign for harris, the democrats in places like pennsylvania are highlighting their work with brown well, what i have more income and wealth inequality in this country than we've had when we have a health care system, which allows us to be the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all people when we have a $7.20, 5% minimum wage, when you got so many senior citizens need to see an increase in their social security. i personally think that the winning issues are taking on corporate greed and bob casey is talking about and fighting for the working class against the people on top who have never, ever had it. so good that would be my suggestion. >> well, let's talk about that because let's take a let's let me roll some clips of a few positions you've taken on important issues in this presidential election but i am an original co-sponsor of the green new deal proposal.

>> we need to move to a medicare for all single-payer program. >> if we are serious about combating climate change, we need to put an end to fracking so i know. >> you know this. but in addition to the green new deal and medicare for all single-payer health care. and ending fracking. in addition to those being positions that you hold, vice president harris used to be with you on all three of them and now is against you on all three of them? is she making a mistake having reversed those positions look, jake, i think what we're seeing is a coalition of people more establishment democrats and progressive democrats. >> and progressive independence on the longest-serving independent american history come together with the goal of defeating a very dangerous heydrich goals make billions in profits for the drug companies in the insurance companies. and we end up spending twice as much per capita on health care as people of any other country,

while 87 million are uninsured or underinsured, i think it's a broken system. i think we have to expand medicare tick up barbie man, woman and child. i happen to believe unlike donald trump, who thinks that climate change is a hoax, i happen to believe that it is very, very real and unless we lead the world away from fossil fuels to sustainable energy, i worry very much about the kind of planet that our kids and grandchildren will inherit. those on my view is that's what i campaigned on in vermont. what i've campaigned on naturally, bottom line is we need to move toward a government and it economy, which works for all people, not tax breaks to billionaires and not being influenced by the big money that politician, that the billionaire is now putting into the political process one of the things jake that we are not talking about which i know whether you're republican, democrat, independent people are really worried that you're seeing a handful of billionaires put huge amounts

of money into the political process. three billionaires over $200 million into donald trump really is not the kind of democracy we want we know the elections got three billionaires, over $200 million into donald trump really is not the kind of democracy we want. >> we know the election is going to be very, very close michigan has a large arab american and muslim american population that traditionally vote democrat but there's a lot of concern among democrats that a lot of those voters are either going to go third party or not going to vote at all in protest of the biden-harris support for prime minister netanyahu of israel. what do you say to those voters who are thinking about sitting out this election or voting third party, or maybe even voting for donald trump because they disapprove of netanyahu and biden-harris is support for netanyahu well, what i saw in my own view is on october 7, israel, how a right to respond but it did not have the right to go to war against

the entire palestinian people on october 7, israel, how to write the risk? >> one but it did not have the right to go to war against the entire palestinian people killed 42,000 in draw hundred thousand and destroy almost all of gaza that they don't have a right to do. and i will be leading the effort to make sure that we do not provide more offensive military aid to israel, but to those people who are saying, well, i can't say what harris because she disagrees trump on that issue, even on that issue, is worse, he will be closer to netanyahu. so if we are able to elect harris, i think we're going to have an opportunity to move her on that issue to make it clear, we cannot allow children in gaza to stop to death. she will be open to that. i doubt the trump well, we can't even get republican support in the senate for humanitarian aid to feed starving children. you really want to vote for a trump,
