11:01 am
>> hello, everyone. thank you so much for joining me this sunday. i'm fredricka whitfield. all right. there are just now 16 days until election day. and the campaigns of vice president kamala harris and former president if donald trump are hitting a feverish pace, both candidates are aiming to boost support today in key battleground states where the margins are razor thin, trump is set to hold a town hall and lancaster, pennsylvania in the next several hours day after holding a rally in latrobe, where he hurled vulgar insults at the vice president and harris while she is hitting the trail in georgia today, meeting with voters at churches, this morning as the state is already seeing record breaking early voting totals. cnn's eva mckend is at the service or was at the service earlier at stone crest, georgia. so eva what was the vice president? biden's message today well, fred, she told congregants at this was the time for them to choose
11:02 am
what kind of country they wanted to live in. >> did they want to lean into the politics of chaos and division or support her in a candidacy that she has defined as about freedom compassion, and justice. take a listen. to what she told the church who tried to deepen division spread that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down instead of what we know, which is the true measure, this time, leader is based on who you lift to the polls effort.
11:03 am
>> fred, the idea being that after you meet voters where they are in predominantly black churches, that after service they go vote and listen, this comes at a time when democrats routinely have been accused of taking black voters for granted, being that they are the base of the party but listen, the campaign are not treating anything. i've taking anything for granted. they have long described black voters as persuadable voters. i spoke to the pastor of this church, jamal bryant, about this i think i'm voting for the vice president because she's black. is immaturity is that a part of our responsibility to shift from personality to policy? what is best for your black children in terms of their education? will books be banned will they be able to get scholarships where your son be able to get access to capital for entrepreneurship and so i think that we've got to go beyond symbolic elections to
11:04 am
substantive voting and fred, as we speak, the vice president continuing to make her case here in battleground, georgia. >> she's in jonesborough at another predominantly black church right now in an event with stevie wonder, bread. >> all right. eva mckend. thank you so much. all right, now to pennsylvania, where former president trump is expected to hold a town hall in the next few hours. cnn's danny freeman, is there a live from lancaster? so danny, the keystone state has been a keen focus of the former president and the last days of the race, what is he saying to voters there today? >> yeah, keystone state's certainly getting a lot of attention from both campaigns, but certainly from the trump campaign this weekend, especially right now, where former president trump is actually in bucks county, pennsylvania, crucial purple area of the commonwealth at a mcdonald's. he's there right now and we have a little bit of footage to show you. of the former president actually going
11:05 am
11:06 am
broadly so you. can. see right there perhaps a bit of unconventional retail politics going on in pennsylvania right now former president donald trump wearing an apron working that fry machine. now, as i understand it, you see images on your screen of him actually working the drive-through. we understand that secret service screened a number of the drivers beforehand that would be coming in for the drive-through to be served by former prime president donald trump. and the reason that the former president is at the stop is because he's trying to challenge that vice president kamala harris, who has said multiple times that she is a younger person as a college student, worked at mcdonald's for president trump without evidence has said that that is not true. the harris campaign not directly responding to this stop today, but saying that harris worked at a mcdonald's in alameda, california in 1983 during the summer when she was still a student at howard university. so again, just a bit of stunning video right there to kick off the day. but that's not the only visit that
11:07 am
former president donald trump has had in pennsylvania this whole weekend yesterday, he was in latrobe, pennsylvania. that's on the western part of the state it was at times a rambling speech. it was also at times a vulgar speech. take a listen to how he decided to divine vice president harris's experience in the biden administration harris that you've had enough that you just can't take it anymore we can't stand you. you're at vice president the worst the worst vice president. kamala, you're fired, get there at a year, fired get out of here >> the former president did talk about inflation, immigration, bringing jobs back to america, but it was truly a scattered speech as we've come to expect from the former president of the past few weeks and final stops of this campaign. and the challenge is for that campaign, is that a
11:08 am
senior adviser tells cnn that this trip to pennsylvania really is the beginning of that closing argument for former president trump's. so we'll see if he is able to stay perhaps a little bit more on message when he joins us here in length eastern later tonight, in-between the mcdonald's event and this event in lancaster, he is also expected to stop at a black barbershop in philadelphia to try and hold a roundtable in rally some black supporters in that city fred, back to you, all right. >> danny freeman, keep us posted on all of all of the journeys. they're in pennsylvania so you can say it's been a rather eyebrows eyebrow raising kind of weak on the campaign trail for the former president won that democrats say shows trump is in becoming increasingly unhinged. take a look other pros, they came out of there. they said, oh my god
11:09 am
you. you're vice president the worst the worst spies president kamala, you're fired here, get the hell out of here, fired get out of here to white dudes for harris or anybody know, as i some of you here, right to try it doesn't sound like it when i'm not worried about them at all because there wives and their wives lovers are all voting for me. >> you will but it's a long to take action while your supporters were attacking the capitol. >> i said peacefully and patriotically, nothing done wrong at all, nothing done wrong and action was taken strong action, ashli babbitt was killed, nobody was killed. there were no guns down there. we didn't have guns. the others had guns. this was a tiny percentage energy of the overall, which nobody sees and nobody, nobody shows. but that was a day of love from the standpoint of the media. i want to talk about ivf or you don't
11:10 am
hear that i'm the father of ivf, that they should be allowed to put those bad votes and illegal votes back in and let the people vote so i haven't i haven't gotten, i haven't gotten over that. a lot of people have seen that they can't even believe that the question is about google present jump >> let's go nice and loud interesting week, shall we say and that last bit there a moment where trump danced on stage for a half an hour at what was supposed to be a town hall event with the stakes so high in this election today, republican house speaker mike johnson came on cnn's state of
11:11 am
the union with jake tapper and he was asked to address how he felt a trump has been handling these last few days of the election. watch this just really the closing message you want voters to hear from donald trump's stories about arnold palmer's 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 it's the senate and the house, and we're going to have a very aggressive agenda to get the economy
11:12 am
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 unaffordable now, in 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. thanks 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
11:13 am
times offered. a few days ago, they looked at his speeches from 2015 and 2016 and looked at his speeches today and said, quote, with the passage of time, the 78-year-old former president's beaches have grown darker, harsher, longer, angry or less focused, more profane, and increasingly fixated on the past policy and i respect that, but the reason that donald trump is not up 10% 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 arnold palmer's in front of pennsylvania voters lot. >> let me tell you that. i did donald trump is doing rallies around the country. they say something. i don't want to be talking about, right? donald trump is out there saying it is what you continue to lead they talk is because you will wait a minute. hold on. one address it. he is out there talking about i'll address it. limo
11:14 am
okay. >> okay. don't say it again. we don't have to say it. i get it. there. there's lines in a rally when president trumps is at a rally, sometimes you'll speak for two straight hours. you're you're questioning his stamina, his mental acuity clearly, 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 couldn't fill the room. donald trump does you know why? because they see him as a change agent and they understand he has a record of performance in his first administration. we had the greatest economy in the history of the world. jake, not just the u.s. every he bodies wages were going up everybody had more jobs available to them. the pathway out of poverty was widened for more people. and that's what the american people are looking at so much more to come in these last couple of weeks on the campaign trail, don't miss this. >> the next big event, at least on cnn, right when vice president kamala i harris joins this network for a town hall live from philadelphia

11:21 am
cnn's kaitlan collins is in tel aviv. kaitlan, good to see you. so what are we learning about the strikes in gaza fred is that despite hopes that ya-ya sinwar's death would be a turning point for the fighting that we've been seeing. >> that's just it's just not happening. i mean, we've continued to see israel strike targets in gaza, which they say are hamas terrorist strongholds. obviously, gaza officials have been talking about the scores of people killed as a result of those strikes. and you can see the video from your own eyes as a result of what those strikes have looked like. and also we've seen a lot of action still happening lebanon today. and the idf, i should note, fred has just announced some breaking news tonight that they are going to be striking hezbollah link financial institutions across lebanon tonight. so that is something that we're expecting. they say that those will be targeted strikes, but we've seen the fire going back and forth with hezbollah also firing and trying to hit at least one city israel, some military bases as well. in the last 24 hours or so. so this fighting has very
11:22 am
much still going on both in the south and the north, despite these hopes that there would be a turning point here, you heard that from president biden, just the other day, hoping that there could at least be you may be a ceasefire in lebanon. that's still obviously has not happened. and i should note that right now as we're speaking, prime minister netanyahu here in tel aviv with his security cabinet, has been meeting whether or not any other decisions come out of that. we wait to see, but we do know we do expect israeli strikes against hezbollah linked institutions and lebanon in the coming hours and kaitlan have listened to what donald trump is saying about his conversation with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu cooperation. >> the white house, they don't want to do anything they would not be in a good position. they're in right? right now if they listened to the white house, which i guess would be a combination of kamala and joe they're not happy about that either i will tell you israel's not so kaitlan, is
11:23 am
there a response from israel right now well, i should note we've heard from trump yesterday talking about this conversation he had with netanyahu at a rally where he was said that essentially netanyahu communicated to him that he wasn't listening to president biden because it had they been listening to what the u.s. >> had been saying warnings month ago not to go into rafah. they wouldn't be the position therein. obviously referencing yahya sinwar's death. he was killed as part of a routine patrol when he was in rafah. as we know in the last several days, a big development happening here. but listening to trump's say that, you know, what, what netanyahu has been advised by president biden in we spent days has been in this response to iran's attack on israel, which we know is expected to happen soon. they're saying don't go after the nuclear facilities, don't go after the oil and gas facilities because the white house is concerned, it's going to only escalate this war further. if they do that, then iran will respond to israel and it will continue that is obviously some nuance there and they're not saying they shouldn't respond at all, but but to hear trump say that
11:24 am
they're not helping at all, i should note that the white house has just announced it's sending a very sophisticated missile defense system. that that system to israel. actually they've requested a second one now that comes to the 100 us troops to operate it. so certainly the idea that the u.s. is not supporting israel here not helping them in this situation is just not fully accurate then let me ask you too about very dramatic protest hostages square in tel aviv, that involve someone that you actually spoke with yesterday who don't know is essentially been a gathering place for the families of the hostages ever since october 7, they meet there almost every single saturday. we were down there yesterday. it was actually the first time they'd been there since sinwar's death and he was the mastermind behind that october 7 attack. back. and what you're seeing here are our women. this is maya that you're looking at right now. they are friends of naama levy. people will remember naama levy because she was one of the most searing images on october 7,
11:25 am
where she was being dragged by her hair, her hands were zip tied into gaza her gray sweatpants were bloodied signs of sexual abuse and it was just a moment that no one could forget these are her friends and her family who were gathered there paying tribute to what she looked like when she was kidnapped into gaza. she is still believed to be being held there with the other hostages that are being held as well. she was an observer in the israel defense forces. those were a lot of women who were in charge of essentially watching the security cameras leading up to that, they'd actually sounding the alarm saying that hamas was preparing for some kind of attack there are warnings went unheeded. a lot of them have argued, many of them were killed that day, but they were paying tribute to her and actually spoke to naama's father, yoni while we were down there just about what he hopes this moment with sinwar's death could mean for her. listen to some of what her father had to say to me
11:26 am
but but i was speaking to him. you can see the women now here they are gathered at this makeshift tunnel and hostage square because they essentially want people to understand what a lot of these hostages are living through. i stood in that tunnel myself. >> it was hot. it's cramped, it's dark, and obviously, you know, that's just a small slice of what the hostages have been through over a year now that they've been held inside gaza, un his father was telling me, you need naama's father was telling me though that he hoped this moment could be one of opportunity that prime minister netanyahu would take this and try to use this leverage to get the hostages home. he didn't care if it meant letting palestinian prisoners be released in the really the guidelines here, he was saying, this is the opportunity need to take this because what's going to change in three months, what's going to change in six months? it was a very frustrated father who is dealt such heartache, seeing that last image of his daughter being kidnapped into gaza. and it was just one hostage family that was saying that we saw a lot of them marching in the
11:27 am
streets of tel aviv last night, wanting the israeli officials to try to use this moment to have a ceasefire, to have these hostages be released. so they can finally get their loved ones home, fred? >> yeah. this has been agonizing for so many. kaitlan collins in tel aviv. thank you so much. let's bring in now mark esper. he is a cnn global affairs analyst and former secretary of defense in the trump administration. he serves on the board as a strategic advisor for a handful of aerospace and defense it's related companies, right now, great to see you, secretary so i wonder before i ask you about your ideas about israel's approach here. i mean just listening to kaitlan and her conversations with people who are still heartbroken, agonizing over whether there will ever be the release of their loved ones who are being held hostage in gaza since that conflict, october 7, in your view, should they feel any more
11:28 am
confident now that hamas leader yahya sinwar has been killed? >> yeah, it was a very powerful report by kaitlan and the imagery as well. and what's going on in hostage squares. it's just very very personal to so many people. we've got to keep in mind. the 101 hostages. that's pleaded only two-thirds or so are live. so you have hamas this brutal terrorist organization. that's keeping bodies simply for leverage in a negotiation but to your question, fredricka, should they have hope? i think so, but we won't know until we understand who hamas appoints has its new political leader. of course as you know, a couple of months ago, a few months ago, ismail haniyeh was killed in tehran by the idf. and he was replaced by yahya sinwar, who then wore two hats. one, the political leader. and secondly, the military leader in gaza. and he was a hardliner and he really was willing to sacrifice how many innocent palestinians it took to get what he wanted. so the question now who will step into that role or will it be his brother
11:29 am
who has left surviving in gaza playing both? and then depending on who that is, but somebody from outside gaza, they may be more moderates, so-called moderate for hamas, and be willing to negotiate a deal that gives back the hostages. we'll see benjamin netanyahu had said no following hamas leader sinwar's killing now saying that the conflict will continue and the objective is to win the release of hostages. >> but one has to wonder whether the negotiations have also fallen apart, or gone by the wayside as a result of sinwar's death, who will be part of the negotiations at all? >> well they fell apart as part of sinwar's life. for the past several weeks now, of course, he was not budging on his demands nor was israel. so that's why i say it depends on who takes over political leadership of hamas that will tell us a little bit about whether there is a window opening back up for
11:30 am
negotiation, but i would think at this point israel has achieved you've many its military objectives. at last, count, 22 of 24 militia, but times were killed the leadership was decimated to now include yahya sinwar. and of course they've been able to go underground and collapse the tunnels and secure the southern border. so the question is what's next? and then negotiation. and i think an important part here, fredricka is bibi netanyahu has yet to identify what the political endgame is does israel want to occupy gaza for years and govern it and police it so forth and so on. many in his right-wing coalition do or is he wanted to bring in some type of pan-arab force or arab european forced to do do those things, policing and governing is so forth and so on. and then ultimately, does he reinforce a two-state solution we need to see that next, because that'll tell us what what a negotiation looks like and what it leads to as we get into those details, then meantime, the u.s. >> is now investigating the leak of highly classified intelligence about israel's plans planned response
