particularly in those seven swing states. so it's hard to know, but, but it's a powerful message that he's laid out. yeah. >> i mean, i think we've said all along this is going to be a very, very close race. i think it is closer than people even imagined it would be, which is why i think the stuff like john kelly coming out and doing the interview and talking to the new york times about what he has seen with trump. and the military piece. i think will be more important in a lot of ways than then james carville, happy birthday. >> james carville also numbered number one and number to watch there. watch kidneys actions at their word the actions of khan layers campaign tells me that they're at least, at least lose momentum, maybe not losing. >> that's more important than i believe what the words of the campaign's reactions in the interviews into the tactics of the campaign. >> doing more interviews, trying to draw him out, rather than not really interesting. alright, thank you all for being here. less than two weeks ago. all right. thanks to all love you for joining us as well. i'm always happy to have you. i'm kasie hunt. don't go anywhere. cnn new central starts right now

meaning trump said, yeah, yeah, hitler's generals kelly then said this to the new york times some good things to end. >> of course if you know, history again, i think he's lacking in that but if you know what his, you know, hitler was all about viewed be pretty hard to make an argument that he did anything good? >> and, there's also this trump's alleged reaction according to the atlantic, after he got the funeral bill from the family of murdered fort hood soldier, vanessa guillen. trump reportedly said it doesn't cost 60,000 bucks to bury an f-king mexican let's get right to cnn, steve contorno steve how is trump responding to all of this this morning >> sara latza impact there obviously, let me start off by saying that blast night, the sister of that pfc gillen

posted on social so media saying that she thought this story was quote, exploiting my sister's death for politics. she called it, quote hurtful and disrespectful. she said, quote, president trump did nothing but show respect to my family. and she pointed out that she voted for the former president earlier in the day, trump's campaign. obviously basically pushing back as well. stephen chung, his spokesperson, and his statements saying that general colleagues had called beclowned himself also, another statement from the campaign saying this story is not true president trump never said that this is an outrageous lie from the atlantic two weeks before the election. so clearly, strong i'm pushed back to not only the accusations about what they said about the forfeits soldiers funeral, but also this assertion that he was speaking about hitler in glowing terms. >> i will point out that donald trump continues to talk about the powers of the presidency in

ways that suggests that but he has unilateral authority and ways that alarm people and concern. >> then that that he is being to dictate speaking like an authoritarian listen to what he said just yesterday about the kind of power the president has when it comes to immigration as president, you have tremendous, it's called extreme power. you have extreme power. you can just, by the fact you say close the border and the border is closed, that's it. very, very simple. you don't need all of this nonsense that they talk campaign trail today, he has two events planned in georgia, a very critical swing state will stop for a town hall there and then he has a rally tonight and dilute sara. all right. steve contorno. thank you so much. appreciate it. kate. >> fast for kamala harris she will be facing questions from undecided voters today right here on cnn and even mechan is

an aston, pennsylvania where the harris townhall will be taking place inside the room where it's going to happen? no less, eva, good morning. >> good morning to you, kate. yes. we're seeing the vice president's closing arguments here come into focus. she's leaning into her personal biography as a way to connect with these undecided voters that we are going to hear, ask questions tonight, really on a human level, she's also outlining her policy vision and for america, what she characterizes as an opportunity economy and then we also hear her warning against the urgent threat in her view of what another trump presidency would pose for this country, she was asked by nbc if the campaign is planning for the former president to prematurely declare victory here's how she responded last election. >> the former president came out on election night and declared victory before all the votes were counted. what is your plan if he does that again in two weeks?

>> well, let me say this. we've got two weeks to go and i am very much grounded in the present in terms of the task at hand. and we will deal with election night and the days after as they come and we have the resources and the expertise and the focus on that as well. so you mind he's ready to go. is that what you're saying? are you thinking about that as a possibility, of course recognizes that it is not enough for her to only be talking about trump. >> that is why she is additionally making an affirmative case for why she wants to be president in talking about her policy vision even kamala harris also got a boost from former president barak obama overnight in michigan. >> and that's not the end of it. they're preparing a campaign together. again, is it tomorrow in georgia? what does he bring? >> for the campaign on that stage, it is no

surprise why democratic campaigns historically have leaned on him in the final hour, he's totally in his element he's unvarnished and he connects with voters in a plane spoken way about the urgency of getting off of the sidelines so we suspect to hear more of that argument from him and then also leaning into celebrity here, he'll be joined by bruce springsteen and tyler perry in georgia as well. >> but listen, i think that tonight if we think about this town, cnn's town hall it takes away a talking point that we have heard from republicans that vice president harris is not addressing the press. that she is sort of hiding here. she not only did an adversarial interview with conservative media tonight kate in these pivotal closing two weeks, we're going to hear her have the opportunity to get questions from voters and if you can put up that video one more time, a few of the opportunity of obama on stage.

transportation says, this is just one of thousands of cases where american airlines mishandled wheelchairs between 2019 and 2023, its investigation found that the airline also failed to provide adequate assistance since to disabled passengers. in fact, one passenger in a wheelchair told investigators that she felt like the airline treated her like cargo. so now she just doesn't fly anymore. the punishment here is the largest ever of its type, and the federal government is finding airlines, american airlines, $50 that fine old includes the mandate that americans spent 20 $25 million to reduce cases of damage wheelchairs and make significant infrastructure upgrades. now american airlines and says it's already doing that, having spent $175 million this year on disability services, new training and technology, and the airline also insist it's wheelchair and scooter handling rating has gone up 20% since 2022, even still so a big apology from american here, it says, despite these improvements, there are instances where the service, the airline provides is disrupted untimely or results

in harm to the passenger or their equipment. american diggs, all of these complaints and claim seriously and works hard to remediate them. the message here is that this is only just you start and here's the statement from the federal government. it says these problems are not unique to american airlines, and that allegations of wheelchair mishandling and inadequate wheelchair assistance are far too common. the department of transportation has active investigations in a similar violations at other us airlines. so every airline essentially put on notice here, john, but transportation secretary you, pete buttigieg says american was the worst offender. so that's where this had to start it important to get this right. >> pete muntean. thank you very much for that. sara. all right. ahead. >> one person is dead, ten people hospitalized in an e coli outbreak linked to mcdonald's quarter pounders, what the cdc is saying this morning and former president obama dropped the mic with eminem in detroit

quarter pounders officials are trying to figure out what ingredients are the source of the e coli. cnn's meg tirrell is joining us now, what can you tell us how far along are they and this is really disturbing because mcdonald's are everywhere they really are sara. i mean, right now, we know that at least 49 people have become ill. >> ten people have been hospitalized, including a child and one person has died and elderly person investigators are calling this a fast moving investigation. the cdc is working with the fda and with mcdonald's donalds, and other agencies to try to identify the source of this, right now, the location of these the most cases have been identified in colorado the second most have been identified in nebraska. the elderly person who died was in colorado they are trying to home in on the source of the e coli have sort of focused in on fresh slivered onions, but they have not ruled out the beef

patties. they say, everybody in this investigation reported recently eating at a mcdonald's and most particularly said that they had eaten the quarter pounders. now the company has put out a statement, a video statement about what they are doing. take a look we've taken steps to proactively remove slivered onions, which are used in quarter pounders from restaurants and select states we also made the decision to temporarily remove the quarter pounder from restaurants in select states. it's important to note that the majority of states and the majority of menu items are not affected course, trying to identify that source and make sure that when they do identify it, that it hasn't been distributed to other restaurants as well. >> so there could be more cases are likely are that we haven't heard about reported. so we're going to keep following this and keep you updated. sara you give folks an idea of what the symptoms of e coli are. so they

know to report it if they're getting their symptoms yeah. >> so most people should get better after five to seven days, but the symptoms can come on after about three to four days after consuming the bacteria. but the fda says, even up to nine days later, folks can get sick and the symptoms include things like severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting, and they can also come with a fever. so if folks have these it's a thing or really severe way that last several days, they should report that to health care providers and they should take note of what they had eaten and where make sure their reporting that as well as this investigation goes on. >> meg tirrell. thank you so much. appreciate it. kate a serious warning from donald trump's former longest serving chief of staff, john kelly in a series of interviews just published general kelly says trump, 50, the definition of a fascist for sure and details trump's affinity for hitler's generals and he's already the goat, the greatest of all time.

who remember, for years before that, donald trump won pennsylvania by 44,000 votes. now, where is kamala harris going? in pennsylvania? the townhall will be in delaware county. delaware county lt. is a county that joe biden won in one big, it's one of the suburban counties, just outside philadelphia. biden got 62%, 62.7%. there that is what a winning democratic campaign looks like in the state of pennsylvania. what do i mean, let's talk about the senate race from two years ago, john fetterman the democrat, won that senate race. biden got 62.7% in delaware county. look at that fetterman got 62.9%, almost exactly the same. that's a winning margin there hillary clinton got just 59.6%. so almost a 3% difference that can be the difference between winning and losing. and it's not just delaware county, it's these other counties surrounding philadelphia to

montgomery county, which is just to the north of delaware. biden got 62.6% hillary clinton, 58 58.9%. again, let's look at bucks county. the most republican in the county surrounding philadelphia, biden 51.7. and hillary clinton got 48.5. you can see that three point difference or so in all the counties surrounding philadelphia. one reason that's so important for death democrats to boost their results in the counties around philadelphia. in philadelphia county itself. yeah, biden cleaned up. he got at 1.4% but hillary clinton actually did better in 2016. so in the urban area itself, a philadelphia, the democrats might be slipping a little. it's the suburban areas where there cleaning up and just to give you a sense of how much that has changed over the last 2030, 40, 50 years. a generational shift, 2020, joe biden got 62.7% in delaware county where there will be today. i'm going to go in the

way back machine to 1988 before kate baldwin was born george hw bush got 60%. so republicans used to win 60% in delaware county, and now it's the democrats doing it and needing to do it if they want to win pennsylvania, which they need to win the election every your butter me up for something and i'm not entirely sure, but i am here for it. thank you so much done. let us focus in. kamala harris is preparing today to take questions from undecided voters tonight in cnn town hall that john was just laying out right there where she will beat. she's also talking about how her team is prepared if donald trump's team declares victory before all the votes are counted and expressing in a new interview fresh concern about post-election violence of course this is a person donald trump who tried to undo a free and fair election, who still denies the will of the people who incited a violent mob to

attack the united states capital in 140 law enforcement officers were attacked. some were killed this is a serious matter former president barak obama also warning of this as well while campaigning for kamala harris in detroit, michigan. >> last night, recalling these scenes you see on your, on your screen, the chaos us in violence that happened. there, stoked by election misinformation pushed by trump in 2020 the day after the 2020 election, thousands of mail ballots were being counted right here in this convention center because donald trump was willing to spread lies about voter fraud in michigan, protesters came down, banged on the windows, shouting, let us stop the count. >> poll workers besides being intimidated joining us right now, is the secretary of state of michigan, jocelyn benson, secretary. >> thank you for being here. you remember those moments probably better than anyone other than the people who are

being intimidated and threatened inside that building how are you and your office preparing differently? this year compared to last election for the possibility of threats of violence and challenges that could be coming at you in the wake of this election well, thanks for having me and yes, we have been preparing really since that time for a resurgence of those same tactics in 2024. so we've been held hold playing scenario planning exercises all around the state because we realized that type of disruption might not just occur in detroit. >> it could occur in flint, in benton harbor, and other communities in our state. and we have partnerships with law enforcement and first responders on the ground to ensure were able to de-escalate or mitigate anything like that from reoccurring, we've also reminded people that are sitting system is rooted in transparency. if you have questions about how we're evaluating, how paper ballots are being counted become a poll workers. what we've invited people to do, so you can watch them serve in a legal way without disrupting the process

so that people know they have access to observing the can't disrupt this also happened to you personally, i people will remember this and the threats that came to you directly. i mean, protests are showing up at your home in the wake of the 2020 election because of this misinformation, you're, you've talked about the impact that had your young son there with you as people were shouting obscenities and shouting into bullhorns are you afraid that's going to happen again this time best, but we plan for every contingency and yeah, that unfortunately is one of them not just targeting me and my home in the middle of the night, but election officials all around the state, all around this country. >> and so it is, it has created the state of hyper anxiety for all of us. we have passed laws in michigan make it a crime to threaten election officials in their line of work. >> we have again, partnerships with law enforcement to address these things quickly this time but certainly all of these possibilities.

>> we know could erupt again. we are as prepared as possible and we're determined to ensure if they do occur, that they will not ultimately achieve their goal. blocking the will of the people of michigan, whatever that may be from coming to fruition so also happening this week and michigan two times two times in two days, just this week, judges rejected lawsuits brought by republicans in michigan challenging aspects of voting. >> monday was the rnc was trying to challenge some overseas ballots that was rejected. tuesday was the rnc trying to purge michigan voter rolls that was rejected as well? is this the end of is this the end of it? do you think these challenges? >> no in fact, some of them had been filed multiple times and dismissed multiple times as a way of keeping this misinformation out there, keeping that narrative alive, that somehow there's something irregular or awry with our practices in michigan. but the reality is michigan's elections are secure. we follow the law we'll make sure every valid vote and only valid votes count and will continue to defend our processes in the court and will

continue to tell the public everything we do to increase the integrity of our elections so that we can be assured of a, of a clear and smooth process and we ask everyone to respect that process instead of trying to disrupt it, whether it's through lawsuits are a sham legislative hearing or outside people's homes more broadly, election in michigan misinformation that machine is already in full swing mean we've conservatives sharing uncorroborated instances of machines flipping votes in nevada as one example another example is us intelligence agencies said just yesterday, that russian operatives are behind false online content attempting to smear tim walz including baseless accusations about his time as a teacher. >> what are you seeing in terms of that in michigan? >> an uptick certainly at both on social media and elsewhere of misinformation lies targeting candidates, lies targeting voters, because the reality is the hardware of our systems, our elections

infrastructure is secure. so to hack into our systems foreign entities will try to hack into the minds of voters to confuse them and create chaos and fear about the realities of our elections and the people running for office. so this is a moment for everyone to be critical consumers of information to questions seek multiple sources, seek out trusted information from reliable officials so that you can't be fooled by these tactics to misinform the public as a way of dismantling democracy secretary michigan secretary of state jocelyn benson. >> thank you very much john all right. breaking overnight or revealing new interview in the new york times with john kelly, the longest serving chief of staff to donald trump when he was in the white house general kelly talked about what trump told him about adolf hitler called as a boil, the ones that did some good things to win. of course if you know history again, i think he's lacking in

that but if you know what his, you know, hitler was all about viewed be pretty hard to make an argument that he did anything good? >> the, times also asked about trump's reported disdain for the military but he basically said to you that those who died for america on the battlefield who are losers and suckers end. >> he said it more than once. >> yes wrapped his arms around why people would shares and the country neutral, what was initially them? i think presumes room white people would do things social asli all right with us now, kevin carroll, former senior counselor to john kelly, when he worked in the trump administration. >> look, a lot of this has been reported in the past using blind quotes and whatnot. this is the first time we've heard general kelly say it himself out loud why do you think he has chosen to do it? two weeks

before an election to speak out on the record and on tape at this time because the stakes are so high this is a person who is the general said frequently praised adolf hitler who wants to return to the office was president united states, and it's just a really important fact to have on the record before people go into the voting booth if it is so important. and the stakes are so high for general kelly, why not endorse a candidate? he says apparently he believes that as a retired military officer, he should not know, he he still views himself understandably as a retired multistart general flag officer and doesn't want to see the military get dragged into partisan politics at the same time, i can tell you the guy would rather to broken glass, then vote for donald trump well

>> 81-year-old richard benjamin just doesn't remember. >> so between these two months, it's over $60,000 richard benjamin has dementia winred went red ultimately, he gave away more than $80,000 and political donations all going through a fundraising platform called when red republican campaigns rely on it to solicit donations, often using misleading ads through email and text messages like we tried to warn you, but you kept ignoring u.s. president trump personally tapped you. this is not a drill when we looked at his phone his phone told the whole story because he would get dozens dozens of text messages a day referring to him as a patriot and thank you for helping to save america. i was dealing with president trump

and so it came up that when i, when they wonder, find out what i was doing that's what i put in. >> he really in his heart, believed that donald trump and donald trump junior and other politicians we're personally reaching out to him, see it essentially put himself $50,000 in debt after he had given them his life savings and this is all from $10 in $25 donations really outrageous cnn's investigative team reviewed more than 1,000 public reports and complaints and bound deceptive political fundraising by republicans and democrats has victimized hundreds of elderly americans misleading them into donating far more than they intended. >> and it adds up a sample of just 52 elderly donors, many who suffer from dementia or cognitive decline.

>> gave away more than 6 million of their life savings. the majority to donald trump and other republican candidates. >> he basically trained all the accounts, everything, but $250 karen's mother's jolene, gabe, republicans, nearly $200,000 she died earlier this summer from stage four cancer amid cognitive decline, we met karen at her mother's home in california. >> it's empty as she prepares it for the rental market karen asked we not use their last name, fearing retaliation this pit in my stomach, it makes me feel like throwing up thinking that the last months of her life we're about her being swindled really is it's unconscionable what they've done as karen reviewed her mother's bank records on the text messages on her phone.

>> it became clear how that money disappeared so quickly. >> just got another text it's endless. this is while we've been here, 9369, 9519539, 9519539, 35-9, 5610 well, won 100 for ten hours, 6100710, 1010141016. >> i mean, it's every few minutes every few minutes. >> and what does this say may make this? it's monthly recurring donation and it's checked already yep. >> the box is a pre-checked, meaning the campaign can automatically withdraw recurring donations monthly even weekly we tried to reach winred by phone your call has been forwarded to voicemail now, text and email. all right 40 to 50 and then went to the address that win red lists as its headquarters in virginia hi, i'm kyung lah from cnn. could i speak with somebody

from winred? they are not located the building on site when red list this address officially with the state of virginia. >> but they don't actually have anyone hear those. >> cnn found nearly seven times more complaints from republican donors families of democratic donors have also unwittingly given away their money matt and dave weiss parts. >> mother in cognitive decline donated more than campaigns through act blue it's theft, it's elder abuse there's no doubt about it by talking publicly, they hope one thing might work to get actblue to return some of their mother's life savings shame. the right thing. do the moral thing to do is to return that money to her you don't have to. it's not it's not illegal what they did, but it's morally wrong. >> winred did not reply to our request for comment, but the trump campaign did, saying that it notifies donors before for

processing recurring donations and has staff on-hand to help with cancelations and refunds actblue did send us a statement saying that it has a surface team help donors and accommodates as many refunds as possible beyond a 90 day refund window. if there are signs of cognitive decline kyung lah, cnn, los angeles right on our radar this morning. a federal judge has given ruby rudy giuliani seven days to turn over his manhattan apartment and other valuable possessions to the two georgia election workers. he defamed the former trump attorney and new york mayor owes ruby freeman and shaye moss 150 million giuliani's lies led to threats against the mother and daughter, forcing them to live in fear for their lives. giuliani signal them out accusing them of ballot tampering falsely in july it was all a lie. he kept repeating. giuliani's spokesman said, it has not immediately responded to requests for

years be he would require permission to properly excavate that is, according to the polish police. >> john. >> all right. new this morning. new this morning. new information on the criminal allegations facing the former ceo of abercrombie and fitch, mike jeffries. he is set to be arraigned in new york on friday for federal sex it's trafficking. and international prostitution charges. prosecutors claimed that while he ran abercrombie and fitch jeffries and others recruited men with job offers and groom them to perform sex parties seen as brynn gingras is here with us. you were here was when this news broke yesterday. now we have much more information. what are you learning here? because we see the indictment right. and it's pretty grotesque. i'm not going to lie to you. we won't get into too many details about that, but it's important to point out here that like you just said, he resigned for our brother retired from the ceo position at abercrombie and fitch in 2014 prosecutors are alleging all of this, at least these charges that are he's related to write here is from december wasn't 18 to march 2015. so

they say he was using his influence. he was using his power, his wealth, to do basically all of what is alleged in this indictment and what is alleged as he and his romantic partner, matthew smith, along with a third man who was considered sort of a middleman. in this conspiracy that middleman was essentially recruit men from all around the world, men who typically want it to be a model wanted to further their careers in some sort of way with abercrombie and fitch possibly. and would groom them basically, have them try out to eventually meet with jeffries and his romantic partner matthew smith, and they would attend these sex events. and at these texts events, according to the indictment, there was viagra pumped into these men there were some horrific things that they would have just including signing an nda where costumes, and essentially perform sexual acts on both jeffries and his romantic partner matthew smith. so a lot of grotesque details coming out this indictment. and as you'd said, he is going to be back in new york to face these charges. he was actually

arrested in florida along with smith, who is detained right now, jeffries was released on $10 million bond on yesterday, but there'll be back here on friday to face a judge in new york and wanted to treat thing and i didn't realize this until you brought it up. yeah is this all stems from a documentary that was done at the bbc documentary, documentary kudos to them. let's listen to some sound that came from that documentary of one of these people who are accusing them of these acts of the bedroom when i entered that room, the door was close behind me. >> my feeling of being in that room was an animal i was not a human to any of these people. i was a body i was being presented to someone to do what they wanted with

life and not for the better i mean, just horrific allegations and one that was just one of the men that came forward. >> there were several that came forward in the documentary following that there was a civil lawsuit against jefferies. you might all remember this because abercrombie and fitch was dealing with it while jeffries again, was no longer the ceo, having to re-brand itself, have to change all of its management. but then right after that, that's when the nypd, the eastern district of new york, the fbi, all got involved and they started this investigation. and this seems to be the fruits of their labor. so we'll see how this continues. >> we will see as these new details keep on coming up. brynn gingras. thank you. so much, sara. oh, i should say the next hour of cnn news central, brand new hour with new information begins right now kamala harris will be back in battleground, pennsylvania for a cnn town hall and taking questions from voters, still trying to make up their minds at this late hour. >> and while she's preparing
