right there. and it's not, it's not every day we get to hear bruce springsteen live here in the situation room. so it was just a powerful moment for me. sure. for many of you as well. all of us who are big bruce springsteen fans head to our viewers. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room erin burnett, outfront starts right now and barack obama together

tonight, the duo about to take the stage for their first rally together. >> we're going to bring that to you live. plus trump slammed taylor swift for endorsing kamala harris and warn swift's popularity would take a hit. is he writes some staggering new numbers. and inside one of the ugliest senate races in america where a democrat is hanging onto her seat by a thread or opponents ads against her targeting her for being gay. let's go outfront burnett outfront tonight. kamala harris and barack obama about to take the stage together for the first time this campaign. the vice president and the former president will be at a rally in georgia. crucial state where new polling today shows the race tied at 49% already at that rally. bruce springsteen calling for glory days ahead, taking the stage moments ago, springsteen, not the only major musical star hitting the trail for harris, although of course, moving for anyone to hear him play like that earlier today, harris said this about trump

trump will sit in the oval office stewing, plotting revenge, retribution, writing out his enemies list. >> or what i will be doing, which is responding to folks like the folks last night with a to-do list, understanding the need to work on lifting up the american people the line that you use last night, right? well, he has an an enemies list of revenge lives that she has to do less. and as she mentioned, revenge and retribution today, trump had this to say about one of his top enemies, the government appointed special counsel, who of course has brought criminal charges against him in to federal cases. >> you're going to have to pardon yourself, are going to have to fire jack smith. >> which one will you do it so easy, i would try him within two seconds i'm just saying she's in a fire him instead of pardon himself. of course, who knows what he really meant, but that's the point he wanted to make. still, harris then went on to make specific accusations

against terrorists and biden people are crude rude, and vicious and by those things, only invest sellers. joe biden, he's not the leader of the party, never was. he's a vessel and he was a perfect he was anything that even when they tell him to get out and she's no difference, she's have watched her last night she's got no intelligence she's got nothing. you got nothing last night. >> of course, he was referencing the town hall here in cnn, which was in fact the most watched town. all of this election for either side that's of course is something that trump cares about the ratings, right? if you measure things by ratings, well, it did better than any other town hall. this cycle. but his claim that others are crude, rude, and vicious, of course, is ironic. take a look at what he has said just in recent days if you look at kamala and you look at what she's done to every

place. she's touched has turned to. we can't stand you, your vice president is man was strong and tough and i refused to say it. but when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there. they said, oh, my god are going to like trump. >> i think they like me anyway, i think it's all they make you don't. use a certain little key words like is, right, let's go to clarkston, georgia. >> that is where bruce springsteen is and of course, barak obama and kamala harris will be appearing momentarily that rally underway. and priscilla alvarez is there. i know priscilla, you've got some new reporting from the harris campaign. what are you learning right now >> as like campaign brings out its star power over the next

several days, what i'm being told is that the vice president is also honing in on her own closing argument and we've already started to get a glimpse of it. recall that during the cnn town hall yesterday, she said that former president donald trump had a quote, enemies list. when she had a quote to do less your repeated that today and i'm told by senior campaign official that that is going to feature prominently over the next several days as the vice president doubles down on drawing that stark contrast between her and the former president in addition to that, she will continue to amplify issues like reproductive freedom, which she has been a key voice on since the beginning of the year before she was even the top of the party's ticket but of course, as you mentioned, the star is we're here, are here in

>> column and of course, the vice-president going to be continuing our beginning, i should say her closing argument tonight and moving forward, era. >> and of course, democratic star power out there, center raphael warnock walking out on stage right now. everyone is here with me here as we get ready for this appearance and bacardi is priscilla's reporting. we are just minutes away from foreign president obama taking the stage alongside kamala harris and you say that this moment, the faster they'll actually be together at the same time on the same stage is huge for the campaign. >> how come?

>> well, i mean, the campaign and like many campaigns around this time has been in geo tv probably since the debate in so right. what you're trying to do is make sure you get voters from the pews. you're good voters from the beds, from the couches, from their workplace. you're trying to get them to the voting booth. and so when you have star power tonight on, you can't even asleep on rafi award not but bruce springsteen, when you have barackobama, when you have this litany of celebrities who are coming out urging you to go out to vote that energy is palpable. and we know, and we've seen it before that you can win georgia, the person who's won georgia in recent history the most has been somebody like raphael warnock and john ourself and even joe biden. and so this energy in this particular place place in atlanta, in clarkston, right outside of atlanta is huge. i mean, look look at this. let's juxtapose barackobama, bruce springsteen, harris next to the fact that over the past two decades, three decades there has been no one who's run for president or vice president who has endorsed

donald trump save for sarah palin. that is a stark contrast and that's why it's a night's events are so important david yeah. >> i think i think we've discussed this before on the night before the election in the city of philadelphia, i was in the crowd watching the almost the same lineup. right? i saw bruce springsteen, john bon jovi beyond say jay-z hillary of gill perry, and a bigger crowd. third, yet, no, no, she was not there. and about 30,000 people and the next day, guess what happened we whooped. hillary clinton in pennsylvania. so it's a nice constitute ten, if i was there, i might go here, bruce springsteen, the night but i don't think it matters squat for november 5th so enjoy your concert. people have a nice time. >> all right, lulu, i think you might, you might express your thoughts slightly differently, but i do know you have some skepticism on the impact of an

event like this, although, as i know, you've now noted, michelle obama will be appearing with kamala harris on saturday in michigan that were in the final days here. so does it make a difference? >> well, i think i have said that michelle obama actually, i think does bring some real star power she inspires and motivates specifically women and especially the women of color. they have a real affinity with her i mean, we did see, for example oprah winfrey really move numbers when she endorsed brock obama back in the day. and i think she brings that kind of sort of emotional connection. but this lineup, i actually do agree with david here. i think it's a lovely concert i do think bringing energy and having these events is good at it focuses the media's attention. i'm not sure. it actually moves the vote, right? >> i guess that's the crucial question okay. go ahead zakaria. >> before that's not the i'm sorry. >> that's not the purpose and i'm saying not to get out

purposes to get the purpose. the purpose is to get out. the vote is not to move voters is not to persuade anybody. this is purely get out the vote. this is purely gotv. this isn't moving people from republican or on the fence. these individuals who are in this crowd, these individuals who are into cap fulton, gwinnett, clay coat, all of these individuals for magic city to the pulpits and new birth are going to go out and vote because they hear that voice, they hear that echo. and what they will get from an event like tonight as a sense of urgency, which is far different than what everybody else is talking about yeah. >> i don't think here, bruce springsteen's voice is going to make them go vote bakari, sorry. >> alright, well, let's just let's let's not erin asked me that question harry. >> harry, i gotta get you in here. okay. let's put some data stations. let's get some numbers in their numbers at the crucial must-win swing state of georgia certainly must win for trump. he was there yesterday. harris tonight with obama, as i said momentarily, we'll hear

them speak, but the polls that we see in the state are constantly within the margin of error, neck and neck, but you see something very specific about georgia yeah. >> you know, look, i've been saying this entire campaign that i think the best track for our kamala harris to get the 270 electoral votes runs through the great lakes. and when you look at the campaign visits that the both the trump campaign and the and obviously the harris campaign has been doing, where have they visited the least? they've actually visited georgia the least? that of any of the swing states, which to me lines up with what we're seeing in the polling data, which is that kamala harris is best path to 270 electoral votes runs through the great lakes. it does not in fact run through the sunbelt. yes, they're having that rally here at night, but it's actually a relatively rare rally compared to the other rallies that the harris waltz can and pain of actually put forth okay. >> bakari, let me ask you about another number that i have been thinking about for now, 24 hours since this since i first saw the wall street journal poll, there is a sub number in

there unfavorability 53% of registered voters in the united states in the wall street journal poll, which is a gold standard poll have an unfavorable view of harris 53% that is up and it is in fact a higher unfavorable than donald trump's. okay what's going on? bakari, do you just think that the polls is totally wrong? i mean, or what on the kamala harris campaign and one of the things that we've done is hopped off the pollercoaster a long time ago. >> we've kind of thrown these polls off the window the window which you see is people dumping polls in on different things. you have the jiffy lube insights.com poll, probably some david's friends or something dumping their street and wall street journal. jail bakari what? but but nobody is watching that because people started voting three weeks ago. i mean, that's why i this

conversation is fascinating because you know, what we are watching. we're watching early voting were watching trends around the country, particularly in these seven states. we're watching these events and yes, she may have been the georgia the leaves, but you know where she was last saturday in georgia where she today in georgia, they're doing activation events at morehouse and spelman this weekend for homecoming, where 30,000 and people will be in. so look, i get it we've seen the bloomberg poll where she's popped on the economy. we've seen the wall street journal poll about favorability. this, that, or the third, that's not where the campaign is. and i encourage people to hop off of that pollercoaster. i don't really have an answer to the question because what i am watching is the early vote in pennsylvania. all right? >> do you believe that are you saying that that early voting is showing you that people are that don bravery rules are wrong, and that they are overwhelmingly going for harris in a way that the gop can't make up for. i mean, are you seeing something that clear? >> i don't i don't know. i don't want to go as far as i say, they can't make it up, but i will tell you this, that every democrat i know who has some sense of reading early voting, who doesn't necessary sara lee compare the early voting of 2024, to that of 2020

because that's completely asinine, believes that we're doing extremely well. >> i mean, europe, you have banked 360,000 plus votes in david urban state. that's not including the independence, which we know are breaking for kamala harris. that's not including the ten to 12% of republicans. she's probably going to win in that state and so when you're banking those votes, you're actually talking about metrics that matter. michigan turnout great early voting, wisconsin, same thing. and so look, i, we can talk about polls, but for me, votes count votes matter can it, can i just jump in yellow second i think what's fascinating here is what you're seeing in the closing messages donald trump is keeps saying over and over again, is she's done. she's stupid. he's using those words deliberately because he wants the message to be that you cannot trust her and that is why you might be seeing those unfavorables popping. he likes to use these repetitive words. those words get into people's psyche on the harris side they're seeing a different message also negative. this man

cannot be trusted. he is a, he is a threat to democracy. he is fascist. he is dangerous. so the closing messages from both campaigns are actually very similar. they are both very negative and they're both trying to persuade people to say, you cannot trust this person with this country all right, aaron, i think david oh, i'm sorry. i was going to say when you're talking about that poll, the number that sticks out to me, is that right track, wrong track number that the because that is important in and that number is so significant, it is, it is, it is emblematic of the tie that the harris campaign and it's swimming against when 75% of americans feel that country's going in the wrong direction. but maybe it's not 75% this poll, but it's in that range that is a change election. people do not want to keep going in the wrong track generally. and so i think that is the most significant brother way that's not based on reality though i mean, the imf just came out no, but came out

and said that the united states is now the number one economy. we are seeing gas prices come down. i understand that this has been a digital dealings lulu, understand people feeling i'm just talking about facts that's all. >> okay. >> you i will tell the uber driver that i was with yesterday that you don't you don't feel his pain because he can't promise not saying i don't feel the pain usually talk about the imf report. >> i'm just talking about the numbers. i'm just simply talking about the numbers one more set of numbers. >> we're talking about real people harris and obama are going to be on the stage in just a moment, but before they come out, harry, i want to ask you one more thing about the numbers and that is lulu and david were agreeing a moment ago on the importance of or lack thereof, of having sort of this it's our power. >> entertainers on stage bruce springsteen, eminem was earlier this week, beyonce tomorrow. but of course harris has most notably been endorsed by taylor swift so you looked into what

the impact of that has been and it actually appears there may have been some on taylor swift yeah. >> i mean, donald trump said essentially that taylor swift is going to pay for her political activity. and if you look at taylor swift's net favorability rating, compare it now versus a year ago, look at that. it's dropped by 17 points republicans have turned against her. it's not that she's necessarily convinced too many folks are registered to vote. you might have convinced but what we've really seen in the numbers is that she's run into the mac truck that is known as donald trump and the maga base. and it has caused her from being one of the most popular folks in this country to be considerably less popular her favorabilities dropped almost as bad as harris. >> only heck right? >> we hit pause, heard will continue that part of the conversation. after this we are this introduction introduction to barack obama and kamala

harris on stage. now we're waiting for them to take the stage at any moment, this will be their first joint appearance of the campaign, and it will be here live. also in battleground, wisconsin, one of the most important senate races in the country tonight, getting very personal and nasty moldovans embed with wall street. while she sleeps in her girlfriends million dollars condo in new york city, wisconsin, families are getting hammered and trump making a promise that is out of this world and far out, even for him to you by alka-seltzer plus bounced back fast with basque busy relief from alka-seltzer plus cough, cough, sneeze. sneeze 2k needs plop plop fizzbuzz. alka-seltzer plus cold and flu wind speed is what you need bounce-back fast. now outsell, three-plus. also try the new chewable fizzy, choose, no water needed dr. box. there

home. i had to learn to live with the scars, both visible and invisible. haven't so one on your side means everything dave helps veterans like latoya get the benefits they earned they helped more than 1 million veterans every year. my victory is overcome in my wounds so i can help other veterans support more victories for veterans go to dave.org i could never hate my kids, you guys? >> i could never hate my kids with that said i how they rolled dice your cabinet when they wake up in the middle of the night i hate how much which they talk about lava the only thing i know about lava is if they see it up close, i've done a bad job as a father sets dead-man walking streaming exclusively on max

live pictures out of georgia. >> vice president harris and foreign barack obama will be speaking any moment now, their first rally together and tyler perry is introducing them, so they will be out in just a couple of moments. we're going to bring you those remarks as soon as they walk onto the stage. it comes as trump tonight is covering battleground states out west. so he's out in arizona, must win for him where he had harris hard on the border as migrant invasion given to us through gross incompetence disqualifies her from even thinking about being president were dumping ground, were like we're like a garbage can for the world that's what's happened that's what's happened. >> we're like a garbage can you know, it's the first time i've ever said that every time i come up and talk about what they've done. to a country i get angry or an angry kristen holmes is outfront and kristen now he's going to nevada. so what are you expecting to hear

from him tonight? is it going to be more of that? and he's talking about the first time he's used words like that garbage can to describe the country yeah. >> i mean, he's just variations of that for some time now, know whether or not he's going to actually focus on what we're expecting him to talk about, which is the economy they do believe that in nevada, in particular, the economy is the number one issue that is where they came up with this idea of no tax on tips obviously, that in that area with a lot of hospitality, a lot of entertainment is a huge policy and one that is widely supported. but whether or not donald trump actually stays on message remains to be seen. what you're looking you got in these various events are very different from what we are seeing on the harris side? no, bruce springsteen know beyonce performing instead, it's a lot of airing of grievances. i mean, we play the part of his messaging that he wants to get across about immigration. but a lot of it was also attacking john kelly, who had recently said that he believes that he was a fascist attacking the system as a whole. he called biden stupid in the last speech

multiple times this is donald trump completely unfiltered, and i know that we've said he's unfiltered for quite some time, but he really has taken all the wheels off here and all the restrictions off. as you said, now he's referring to our country as a garbage can. he has erin bring out all of his grievances earlier today. he said that he would fire jack smith's something that we have long reported that he was going to do, not fire him, but get rid of those cases that were being brought against him by the department of justice, if he won. but now he's actually saying the quiet part out loud. now, donald trump believes that some of this rhetoric is what helped him win in 2016. particular he literally the dark rhetoric around immigration, and he believes it could help him win in 2024. >> and this overarching idea that donald trump is now more unhinged is that's not really exactly what you're seeing, what you're also seeing is donald trump being his truest version of himself? >> donald trump, that we often hear about. are you often see behind closed doors or you hear about from people behind closed doors, the cursing in public

constantly. the denigrating remarks constantly. that is how donald trump talks when he's not in front of the camera. now he is brought that to the forefront. >> all right. well, kristen, thank you very much. and of course, he's on his way to nevada and in just a moment here in georgia kamala harris and brock obama will be on that stage together and everyone's back with me on that. so lulu, right, the context here, kristen talking about it now, when trump is on the stage talking about garbage can of the world, when he's right saffrine seeing the number of migrants who have come into the united states over the past years does rhetoric like that at this point? does it motivate anybody? does it mean for or against? i mean, does it move the needle? >> i mean, i think donald trump's pitch is that this country is in a terrible state and the darker, the better because that benefits him but i mean, moving aside from just the rhetoric, what i'm

interested in are the policies. i mean, there was a very important article today in the new york times. were they interviewed stephen miller. you might remember pam from the first trump administration, who was the architect of many of former president trump's harshest immigration policies and he basically detailed what they're planning for a next trump administration and some people have called this sort of a xenophobic fever dream. it is mass camps, huge which deportations of millions of people here illegally in this country who might have strong ties, who are not necessarily criminals definitely deporting people like the dreamers, daca recipients who were brought into this country legally as children and have been vetted and have been given permission to stay and work. some of them in the military these are very, very dramatic and draconian ideas about what is going to happen in a second, trump administration. and i think those are the things that are you know, reporting and should be getting scrutiny because if trump indeed becomes president

again what we saw in the first trump administration isn't necessarily what's going to happen the second trump administration, they've had time to plan they have real very strong ideas about what should happen next. and it is indeed a very, very draconian. >> what do you say to that david, to those that list that steve well i agree with lulu that as a fever dream of people would like to accomplish. but let's be realistic what needs to be accomplished is that the federal government needs identify, locate, round up, and deport 300,000 plus illegal immigrant criminals first, that's the very first step, but steve was talking about billions, millions of people blue, i understand what you let you let me finish a little. sure. okay. so so if to undertake that alone would take four years. this is this isn't something that's easily done because it is happening but over a series of

administrations in years, it's could take a series of administrations to get it started and get this country turned around. i said what donald trump's talking about, what stephen miller talking about, what americans want to see, they want to see a secure border. they want to see legal immigration. they want to see people who break the law i mean, stephen miller who is going they have a central role in this administration was talking very openly. >> in fact, i urge everyone to go read the article just about, you know, kind of redoing birth, citizenship. the idea that people could, because they're born in this country, they have the right to be citizens bringing back the muslim ban. all these things that really are what were tried in the first administration. they were overturned by the courts, and now they've had years to think about how to do it properly and they're going to try it again. and so, you you may like that and embrace it, but don't pretend that it's not going to happen stephen miller basically promised that it would that it was i mean you might think it's a good idea and there are many might embrace it, but

understand that it is something that they are planning it is something that stephen miller's planning, whether or not it if it becomes effective in an administration is not up to just stephen miller. >> there's a congress that has to allocate funds. i mean, this isn't done by the wave of a magic wand, lulu, i mean, no, i agree. >> i agree, but he was talking about appropriating funds from the miller but terry using the us military to deport some of these people building huge camps on the u.s. border in on land and in texas. i mean, it was very detailed. i mean, i'm just i'm just repeating what he said. you're saying he it might not happen or it couldn't happen? all right. promising that it will. >> i'm just going to hit pause here on this conversation. i hope everyone will read the article and think about it. here comes the foreign president barack obama he is coming out mistake. obviously just a moment going to be joined by vice president kamala harris in their first joint

appearance. together. this entire campaign season she will be appearing also with michelle obama this weekend here in these final days so obviously, they're hoping that this is going to be as bakari sellers was just saying, really, a turnout event as opposed to eight persuading event, a turnout event. let's listen to the former president now here in georgia buddy, bruce springsteen you got a pair those capital one commercials if that doesn't get you fired up to vote, i don't know what will

>> you you've heard this already. >> i'm going to repeat it. we are going to keep repeating it here in georgia. early voting has already started so if you have not already go you're going to remember to bring your photo id if you need to figure out where to go go to, i will vote.com slash ga. >> and then you get your friends and you get your family to make a plan to vote because together we have a chance to choose a new generation of leadership in this country and start building a better and stronger and fair and more hopeful america. >> i love you too

election is going to be taking because lot of americans who still struggled as a country. we've been through a lot as a country. we've been through a lot over the last few years we had a historic pandemic that wreck havoc on communities and businesses and then disruptions from the pandemic cause price hikes that put a strain on family budgets and people feel like no matter how hard they work, sometimes it feels like they're just treading water so i get why people are looking to shake things up what i cannot understand is why anybody would think that donald trump will

shake things up in a way that is good for you because there is absolutely no evidence that this man thinks about anybody but himself trump has a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down that golden escalator nine years ago? >> and what is not complaint when he's not sending out crazy tweets he trying to sell you stuff sneakers trying to sell you $100,000 watch trying to sell you a trump bible god donald trump edition that

is name right there next to matthew and luke up. >> if this was on a saturday night live skit, you'd say, well, no, that's crazy. >> but he's going to because all he cares about his his ego, his money, his status. >> that's his mindset. those are his intentions. and then there's the question of his competence i mean, have you seen donald trump lately? he had they're getting two hours speeches, just word salad said the other day, january 6 was a day of love. he said that ygor was what starker coachella this? up your cousin. you say, hey, have you noticed grandpa? he had to kind of funny right now

thing is he acts so crazy and it's become so common the people no longer take it seriously. just as the acts goofy does not mean his presidency wouldn't be dangerous word for it lately, some of the people who know donald trump best had been saying in no uncertain terms that he should not be president again the other day, general john kelly, donald trump's former chief of staff wanted his generals to be like hitler's generals now don't boo politics, a good rule of thumb is don't say you want to do

anything like hitler advice but it is useful because it gives us a window into how donald trump thinks and john kelly isn't the only one saying this two of his defense secretaries. people who worked for him said the same thing his chairman of the joint chiefs of staff that is the top of the top brass in our military said he is dangerous now, i happen to know john kelly and mark miller they served under me when i was commander in chief. these are serious people these are decked. a decorated soldier and marine who served in peddle they are not quote, unquote,

woke liberals in the past even talked about politics because they believe but the military should be above politics up is because they have seen that in donald trump's mind, the military doe responsibility, just like everything else. he thinks the military exists to do his bidding to serve his interests he'll use that military to go after quote, the enemy within which she defines as anybody who criticizes him or refuses to bend the knee last time, unlike the first time he won't have people like john kelly around to stop them

he'll be surrounded by people who are just as loony as he is and who will let him do what he wants and saw my question to you, georgia, is how is any backed going to help you? we do not need for years of a wannabe king. i want to be dictator running around, trying to punish his enemies. that's not what you need in your life. america is ready to turn the page we are ready for a better story. georgia, we're ready for a president, kamala harris kamala harris is ready for the job her life fighting on behalf of people who need a voice, who need a champion kamala, one

born into privilege. she was raised in a middle-class family she worked at mcdonald's when she was in college to pay your expenses? she didn't pretend to work good. mcdonald's when it was close for a photo op are going through because she's seen it in her own family, in her own life as a prosecutor, communist stood up for children who'd been victims of sexual abuse as attorney general of california thought the big font, the big banks have for profit colleges secure billions of dollars per people after they had been scammed after the home mortgage crisis kamala pushed me and my administration hard to make sure homeowners got a fair settlement, didn't matter that i was a democrat, that she had not done doors for my campaign and our she wasn't going to let anybody stop her from winning as much relief as possible for families who deserved it.

>> so the point i'm making if you elect kamala harris, she will not be focused on her problems, her ego, her money. she's going to be focused on, you she's going to be focused on come on the stands. that too many folks here in georgia and across the country are struggling to pay the bills now understand wages are steadily growing. unemployment is low, inflation is finally slowing but we all know the price of everything from housing, the health care, to groceries are still too high. and it hurts she understands that the question is, who's really going to do something about it? so donald trump's plan is to give another massive tax cut to billionaires and big corporations because he was a reality star on the apprentice. there are some folks who think, well, i don't know. he's a businessman. he must know

saying about the academy i heard people say this, right? i'll talk to him. why would you think about voting for this guy but no. well, i remember the economy when he first came in and was pretty good was my economy cleaning up the mess me and then i handed over 75 straight months of job growth to donald trump and all he did was give tasked us to folks who didn't meet it, drove up the deficit and the process. and now he wants to do it again you can't give him credit for that

thing i hear some folks would be like, well donald trump sent me a check during the pandemic. no, no, no. you all know because i've heard this. i know your familiar heard that sure you understand this. joe biden sent you a check during, the pandemic, just like i gave people relief during the great recession the thing is, we didn't put our name on it because it wasn't about feeding our egos. it wasn't about advancing our politics it was about helping people. that's the difference don't give him credit for that come on don't don't be bamboozle

about health care, even you ask you as donald trump, what he's going to make healthcare more affordable? his only answers. and obamacare the affordable care act he doesn't really know why he wants to end it, except for the fact that our pastor the problem he's got now, is that a popular because 50 million people have gotten health care because remember, during the vice presidential debate his running mate had the nerve well the chutzpah to say that donald trump quote, salvage the affordable care act

presidency trying to tear that thing that any couldn't even do that, right and elected when he was asked, what, what are you going to do? he says, well, i concepts of the plan for how are you replacing now, i want you all to think about this for a second. let's say your boss on the job gives you an assignment says i needed by friday but it rolls around your boss says, so did you finish that project? i asked you to do and you say, well i haven't actually started but i got a concept for a plan home haunted. did you throw out the trash throw the trash has i don't know

over one word for you. why should it work for the next president united states? >> the good news is that kamala harris doesn't have concept of a plan. >> she got to make your life better she's going to go after corporations that unfairly jack up prices she's going to make it easier to build and buy a home she's going to limit out-of-pocket health care costs. she's going to give a tax cut to 100 million middle-class families and working americans and if congress passes a bill to restore the reproductive freedom that women ad for nearly 50 years. the freedom that donald trump bragg about taking away common i was signed it into law

elections matter and i have to say, i get why folks get frustrated with politics. i do too some time i don't watch cable news because sometimes i get what people block it out. it just seems like everybody arguing and fasten but i always tell people, look politics is not going to solve all your problems know, president is going to eliminate poverty in one term. are eliminate racism because those problems are hard it takes steps no bit at a time, but your vote matters because that little bit of a time that incremental improvement that adds up and

things can get a little better or they can get a little or a lot worse. when i was president, we did not solve all problems with our health care system. but 50 million people getting health insurance that didn't have it before, that made a difference. you know, somebody who has health insurance because of it and i'm going to give you another example. when i was president, we put together an entire playbook for how to deal with a pandemic because we had dealt with ebola, we had dealt with h1n1 virus we put together a plan and we practiced and we had all the agencies in terms of how you going to do with the schools and how are we going to do with public health agencies? we've we put it all together and when donald trump came in, we gave him that playbook and he i guess dropped it in the dustbin three years later, a pandemic hit and i want to be fair. >> listened to mina no matter who was president, the pandemic was going to be a huge crisis.

people were going to get sick, people were going to die this is, we're going to close their be travel restrictions. it was a once in 100 year event but if you look at a country like canada the per capita death rate during covid was 60% lower than it was here in the united states. so you do the math over 1 million people died during the pandemic here in the u.s. 60% of over 1 million that's 600,000 people that's grandparents that's that's uncles, parents, coworkers, friends. >> everybody here was touched by it some people might have been alive if we had had a competent administration who was paying attention and trying to do things better instead of talking about injecting bleach into your home? >> now you were a remember that

if somebody tells you it doesn't make a difference it will not make perfect, but it does make a difference. >> to have somebody was competent, somebody who sees you as somebody who respects you, somebody who cares about you somebody who understands your dreams who are still on the sidelines that the election is about more than just policies. it's about values, and it is about character growing up, i didn't have a father in the house but i didn't have people around me stepfather grandparents, teachers, coaches and most of all my mother who tried to teach me the difference between right and wrong who showed me what it meant to be honest and responsible to work hard to treat other people the way i wanted to be treated

sometimes when i was a kid and i didn't always live up to those values even as a young adult. >> but but over time, i internalize those values and as an adult, i said this is what i need to stand on. >> this is my foundation and i suspect most of you grew up the same way and what are the most disturbing things about this election and about trump's rise in politics is how we seem to have set the values we were taught a sign how we seem to disregard them how we pretend they don't matter when donald trump lies about about hurricane aid. you've got a hurricane in north carolina people desperate and he and his vice president candidate deliberately circulate rumors that that money is being given

to illegal aliens. he illegal immigrants, as opposed to people who are desperate when he, when he cheats or shows utter disregard for our constitution when he calls service members who died in battle losers or fellow citizens, berman people make excuses for they act like it's okay as long as their side wins and i've noticed this, especially with some men who's, who seem to think trump's behavior is a sign of strength that macho you know, i'm i'm i'm going to own these folks. i mean, i'm not put them down let me i am here to tell you that is never has been real strength is about working hard and taken responsibility and tell him the truth, even when it's inconvenient real strength is about helping people who need

it and standing up for those who can't always stand up for themselves. that's what we should want in our daughters and our sons. and that's what i want to see the president of the united states of america candidate to vote for in this election who demonstrates that kind of character. who knows what real strike looks like who will set a good example and do the right thing and leave this country better than she found it. that is what this election is about and that is why it is to introduce my friend but president of the united states, of america vice president kamala harris

love you i love it was 17 years ago. it was over 17 years ago when i took a trip to springfield, illinois it was a call february day and

i went there to support this brilliant young senator who is running for president of the united states energized and inspired not only by barak obama's message, but by how he leads seeking to unite rather than separate us. and that is why in 20 au 72007, i went new year's eve to iowa to knock on doors in the snow and all these years later, barack obama, i say to you, your friendship and your faith in me and in our campaign means the world thank you, mr. president thank you, mr. leaders with us tonight. >> thank everybody was here for

taking time out of your busy lives to spend this evening together. i want to thank georgia's congressional delegation leaders who are here with us please give it up for samuel l. jackson bruce springsteen. >> so atlanta before i was vice president of the united states before i was the united states senator and before that, a two term attorney general for the state of california and before that, a district attorney in a courtroom, prosecutor. >> and in those roles, i took on perpetrators of all kinds predators fraudsters, and repeat offenders i took them on

and i won well, georgia and 12 day if donald trump's turn most consequential elections of our lifetime and i don't need to tell you voting has already started and everybody here knows it's going to be a tight race until the very end so we have a lot of work ahead of us. >> but we like hard work hard work is good work hard rock is joyful. and make no mistake thank we will win we will win. we will win

would say, yes we can here's why we're going to win we are going to win because we together are fighting for the future. >> we, are fighting for, the future we hear understand, we have an opportunity before us to turn the page on the fear and divisiveness that have characterized our politics for a decade because of donald trump we have the opportunity to turn the page and chart a new way and a joyful way forward

ambitions. >> the aspirations, the dreams of the american people. and i will tell you as i travel, our country, there is, there is an overwhelming call for a fresh start. for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic and excited about what we can do together there is a yearning for a president of the united states you
