going to think twice about orange ordering an envelope broke my or becomes some more popular, jake, more popular, thanks real quick. i mean, we have like 30 seconds, but beyonce is finally coming tomorrow. riley very exciting for everyone is so energized about that. everyone is thrilled. they were waiting for her at the dan save about what she's going to say to be honest, because we don't hear from beyonce job to back a politician, lose half your audience. so dumb, either politician who they are audiences house actually know. republicans listen to her. i don't think oh, republicans, but if you are a republican, he listened to her, you know what you're getting from me? very, very much. >> thank you for watching at home. it's been it's been a good news. >> night's state of the race. >> laura coates live starts right now

kamala harris as the onetime prosecutor hones in on her closing message, the f-word plus gone in two seconds donald trump's new vow against jack smith. >> and the question tonight, what anyone dares stop them? and a former model accusing donald trump of groping her to show off for jeffrey epstein. that model breaking her silence tonight go. >> and with the election on the line, vice president kamala harris is starting to make the most important closing argument of her career. and it sounds like this this is not 2016 or 2020. the stakes are even higher because over the last two years, and in particular, the last eight years, donald trump has become more confused

more unstable and more angry. >> it's either donald trump in there list. or me to grab attention and turn out the vote. >> she's happened in just a real star power in these final days tomorrow, if she has beyond say and none other but then houston, texas for real this time, not like the dancy when the crowd thought they'd see queen b, only to hear leon panetta no offense to leon panetta, of course, beyond they will follow up tonight. stars that had rally in georgia that saw samuel l. jackson and tyler perry and spike lee and the boss, bruce springsteen, all pushing for harris donald trump is running to be an american.

>> tyrant i've watched him from the central park five to project 2025 but politically speaking, it was brock obama who headline this event tonight, rallying with her for the first time out on the trail. number 44, making the case against number 45 we do not need four 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. i want to explain that in politics, a good rule of thumb is don't say you want to do anything like hitler obama, there referencing general john kelly has claimed that trump praised hitler's generals. >> that harris says, you know, she seized on it. she talked about it last night at cnn's own town hall and went as far as to call donald trump a fascist. now, trump thaw by his office yes. and said so she did

call me a fascist and everyone knows that's not true. >> they call me everything until, you know, something sticks. he made a statement that i'm like hitler just couldn't be further from the truth. it's just the opposite actually with. >> me now, kristen soltis anderson, cnn political commentator and republican strategist. bryan lanza, senior adviser that trump/vance, presidential campaign, and karen finney, a cnn political commentator, glad to have all of you here look karen obama and harris are hitting trump on being a fascist. you even heard from hillary clinton tonight with kaitlan collins, the same thing. you've heard other people make this comment as well, is that the strongest closing message to voters who are persuadable at this juncture know, but that's why that's not her full closing message. >> her closing message, as you alluded to in the open is he's got an enemies list. i've got to do less and i think what you're going to hear our this is sort the start of the

closing argument and we'll be hearing it throughout the weekend. i think what you're going to hear on tuesday is also provision her positive optimal mystik. here's what i'm trying to accomplish. and really at the heart of it, it is he is for himself. and i'm for you. i'm for the people. i think we're going to come back to something that has been a central theme of her life and her career as a public servant that being said, it is important to draw the contrast to say this is who i am, this is who this person is going to be. but i think you're going to see that shift a bit and have her again more outlining her vision, brian, how do you think the comments about about fascism are playing for trump's supporters or independent voters is this encouraging them to look away from him or turn towards him i think all of it is sort of baked in, right? like this is the thousands time that we've had a panel discussion about some democratic calling donald trump a fascist. so i don't

think it has the same impact as it would have they had the first time as we having now, i think the impact that the end is you're right, people are tuning into what the final messages. and if that's her final message, was people wanting more, you know, there's people who are dealing with the economy, with their, with their economic conditions sort of wiped out as a result of the inflation as were wiped out as biden economy, they're looking at the immigration and saying there's something going on here. why is the head? in the sand? we're not doing anything if the fido messages, the talk about the thousand time donald trump has been insult. i think she's missing a point it's interesting. >> you make the point that i think is being raised and that it's counterintuitive. >> if you hear something time and time again to then reject it as a truth, how, how is the polling seeing that the impact of the statements being made, not just from people like, you kamala harris or hillary clinton, people who have served with them as well. scholars who've studied fascism why is it having maybe the opposite effect well, i think that for most voters, they've decided at this point the number of people who truly don't know what

they're going to do is very small. >> and so i viewed it across the battleground states and clarify, yeah, i think right now this is in many ways a motivation strategy for the democratic base, which is a perfectly fine strategic thing to do in the closing days, get people out to her rallies persuade them that the stakes have never been higher. you've got to donate, you've got a knock on doors. it's not a bad strategy, but it's not necessarily a persuasion strategy. i still do i think that for the persuasion piece, the message can't just be donald trump is bad because everybody knows how they feel about donald trump. it still has to be. here's why i'm a viable alternative. why i am somebody who will lead the country to a better future. and that's why i think that i have a to-do list line is good. it's getting at the beginnings of what could be a good closing argument? still thinks she needs to answer she said, my values have never changed. what are those values? we know that she has a list of policies, right? homebuyer, tax credit. she's talked about a variety of things on a checklist that she would do, but i still think voters are wondering what is in her core if some new crisis pops up, what is her decision

making process? what are the things that are important to her? >> i still think that's a little bit opaque to many voters, though, for some, they may not care because they just think donald trump's too bad enough. here's the talking to the campaign. the general, general kelly's comments are breaking through because he is obviously someone who has held in very high regard and people find it very disturbing as they should. what i think is more important so that if i were them, i would talk about more. it's less about the sort of points of comments that he's made it's how he says he wants to govern, how he wants to consolidate power into the executive. new york times had a really interesting piece and went through basic just buy the things that he has said he wants to do what does it mean when you abolish the department of education? what does it mean if you completely changed the department of justice and make it bend to your will, that's i think the conversation because again, the question is how will he govern? how will she governed, and the way he is

describing governing that is it's what a democracy is about. now, no one branch is supposed to have all the power again, i think that if i were the campaign, i would like to see her again. lay out more of that conversation about this is the future that i see. this is the future that we can build together and get to that we're saying the quiet brian if if the audiences in the electorate wants to know about who you are at your core and how you would govern. and it's difficult to assess that and even a town hall and lilan debate, really the proof is in the governance, putting in many respects. but if that's what's being articulated about who you are at your core that can be problematic for whatever messaging trump would like to say if that if that's believed. >> well, i would say if you look at where the polls are with respect to donald trump in his term, he's not more popular than he's ever been. people now, look at his, his, his time in office and they vary more positive light, certainly more than the harris-biden administration. you know, those are the

messages, so those are the messages but have resonate at the end. i think everybody talks about all these other issues. they forget that donald trump was president and people experienced on a trump presidency, they didn't experience a dictatorship. hillary, hillary clinton, to go to jail during trump's presidency general kelly's say as much as you want, he didn't make these statements about donald trump when donald trump was president, he made it two weeks before an election. so it always it looks part as it. but i think the challenge they have is people forget donald trump was president and people have a nostalgic, positive feeling of his presidency. and no matter what insult happens that day or the second insult for that week, it's not going to change what people's view of donald trump the case that people are nostalgic for donald trump's presidency. and you even heard that at the rnc, you heard lara trump say, you don't have to wonder what it would be like. remember what it was like. >> and that's why i think that this argument about no, no, no. >> it actually won't be like it was four years ago. you may have liked four years ago, but this is a new and different donald trump that's an interesting argument to try to play, because the biggest challenge harris is going to have is there are a lot of voters that they don't like the way things are now. and in

their minds, they think it really was better four years ago. she's got to say it will not be better, but you're saying the word nostalgic. and i think some people are saying, i remember what it was like the saljuqs and g8 to make connotes like a very you know, this was a wonderful experience, i think what you're hearing from a lot of people as a frustration that they remember what that was like, and others are leaning into that. you are correct but really are tonight. i mean, you had hillary clinton speaking with kaitlan collins and talking a little bit about some of the deja vu moments. for example between the harris and the 2016 hillary clinton campaign, as well. listen to what first of all, i don't think she has jim comey in the wings waiting to kneecap her. so that's good. and i'm very grateful for that. >> i mean, but one example, karen. >> yeah, thanks, jim love that. >> i mean, having been there for a moment object for that not so much. here's one thing i will say.

>> you know, donald trump paints this picture of what it was like. >> that's, that's all fine and good. but covid happened in between how we live our lives and how we work and our economy changed in between what's happening between russia and ukraine has happened in between. there, there are factors that have changed where the country and we're the world is that he will have to contend with. he sort of makes it seem like we're just going to go right back to there no, there's plenty of things that have to be dealt with and he never talks about how he would deal with them. what i will say i was knocking on doors on sunday in pennsylvania in a county just over from where the townhall was last night. and i did hear talk to a woman, older in her 60s and she is very concerned she had voted for trump in the past. and what she said is, i'm concerned because i hear him talking a lot about revenge and i hear him talking a lot about tax breaks for the wealthy, but i don't hear him talking about me. and this is a woman she's very worried about her social security. she's got other health concerns now, we

can argue all we want, but that woman has not heard from donald i'll trump anything that is making her feel like she's going to vote for him. she's not so assured. you'll just curious about kamala harris and that's who harris campaign is trying to talk to well, what's the reaction to that, brian? >> because here we are both campaigns know they've got 12 days to try to persuade someone just like that in a key battleground state of pennsylvania, when you hear that knowing how republicans have really believed they've had a feather in their cap on the economy for quite some time but the closing ads for trump really had to do is suddenly other issues. what's your reaction to someone a voter like that? >> listen, my reaction is that listen, you, donald trump is coming close to 50% of the popular vote. so today he's more popular than he was in 2016 and in 2020. that is a direct result of his policies. but as a direct result of people rejecting the biden/harris policies, it was so bad under biden-harris that they're open a donald trump again, and they sort of view

him no, i'm favorably so he's more popular than he's ever been before. so when you go to that woman who knocked on doors and said that she clearly didn't hear the message that donald trump doesn't want to tack social security. she didn't clear here other messages and we need to deliver that, but we also know the coalition today is bigger than it's ever been. look at the hispanic vote and the hispanic, but look at the black boat donald trump is increasing his margins there, that it's ever been so we may lose some, but we know the coalitions ultimately growing. >> kristen is popularity of a candidate persuasive to the voters popularity with whom favourability matters. >> i mean, if a voter doesn't like you, it's hard to get them to vote for you, although i will say for donald trump typically about 7% of voters who say they're voting for donald trump also say they don't like him personally, but they 7% interested. i've seen that number pump up a few times and that's why i wonder. we say all the time people know how they feel about donald trump. they know how they feel isn't so, so many of these ads are about harris, either the harris campaign's ads or the trump campaign's ads, trying to define her. but i do wonder if in the closing week wouldn't be smart for trump to

actually run some positive ads, trying to tap into that rose colored glasses memory of when he was president and say, don't you remember when groceries were cheaper? don't you remember when the middle east wasn't the unfired, don't you remember when ukraine hadn't been invaded? i mean, even if those are things that i'm sure the biden team would say, wait a minute, that's not just okay. that wasn't just our fault it would be an argument that would tap into the things that are making voters who find donald trump at personally a little repellent. still say that, you know, i would kinda like that. >> again, what do you say to voters who look at it and go, well, hold on. i've heard this more than once in the last day. i mean, russia didn't do anything to you crane when trump was in office, that's one of the big things that trump will herald and say, aha, see, i was a strong man that was able to provide for a nation that their response, what is yours if you're a strategist for them because it harris campaign book concern that i have about trump is how easily he has swayed by flattery and how dangerous that is. foreign

national security and the fact that he would be compelled at a time when people were dying by the thousands every day during covid to give someone like putin a covid test when the rest of us couldn't get one. that tells me he is very easily swayed. and by the way, if he's looking out for himself, he's not looking can out for you 12 days to go and see how the voters feel about it all. thank you, everyone. up next we've got a lot more to talk about the sports illustrated swimsuit model coming forward with allegations of being groped by donald trump, she tells her story to cnn in her first on-camera interview i was rolled in there like a piece of meat for some kind of weird twisted gain plus, could the menendez brothers who murdered their parents be just weeks away from getting out of prison. the major announcement from the la da ahead

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 interview with a former sports illustrated swimsuit model who alleges donald trump groped her in the 1990s. stacy williams alleges that all happened back in 1993 she's walking down fifth avenue with her then boyfriend jeffrey epstein when he suggested they visit trump this is the first time that she has spoken out extensively about what happened next cnn, sunlen sephardi has that interview the second he was in front of me he pulled me into him and his hands were just on man, didn't come off former sports illustrated models, dc

william says that donald trump groped her more than 30 years ago in trump tower with the later convicted sex offender, jeffrey epstein, watching and smiling in the room as it happened, then the hands started moving and they were on you know, on the side of my breasts, on my hips, back down to my butt, back up, sort of them, you know, they were just on me the whole time. and i spoken out about the incident extensively until now, and in her first on-camera interview, she tells cnn the most detailed accounting of the incident, yet alleging that in 1993, epstein, who she was briefly deigning at the time, broader into trump tower. >> this context made no sense because the hands were on me and then he and jeffrey just kept talking and like looking at each other and smiling after leaving trump tower, williams

said that epstein berated her for allowing trump to touch her. >> i just had this region haley, like sickening feeling that it was coordinated, that somehow the whole thing was piece of meat for some kind of weird twisted game. >> soon after the encounter, she severed ties with epstein and said she was unaware of the kind of predatory behavior that would come to light in later. peter years. she also says she received this undated postcard from trump, delivered to her modeling agency by courier shortly after the incident, stacy, your home away from home, love donald. >> i felt sick to my stomach williams says she did not tell anyone about the incident for over ten years. i felt a wave of shame i just couldn't think about it. they sit talk about it for a very long time. i put it in a little box inside of me. turn the key, locked it. >> cnn has spoken to three friends of williams to corroborate her story, who each said that she told them about

the incident with trump and epstein and 2006, 2015, and 16 dean, the trump campaign has denied williams is allegations calling it a fake story contrived by kamala harris's campaign williams account only adding to the lengthy list of women who have alleged that trump groped, kissed, or assaulted them. trump has also denied those allegations trump, who was close friends with epstein once calling him a terrific guy, has long sought to publicly distance himself from epstein since he first faced charges related to inappropriate sexual conduct with under age girls in the mid 2000s, i was not a fan of jeffrey williams has been engaged as a democratic volunteer for decades, and she shared her story on a zoom call on monday at a survivors for kamala event supporting the vice president's run ai, although the group is not affiliated with the campaign, ai felt like that was some sort of sick bet or game between the two of them with the election

less than two weeks away, williams arguing that her decision jim, to speak out now was not driven by the presidential campaign, but with the release this week of a documentary about sports illustrated, once you participated in two years ago during which she briefly alluded to the incident. what do you say to those critics say this is politically motivated? >> i can't control when that documentary comes out. i can't control the fact that it's premiering two weeks before the election. >> and she says she could not stay silent any longer. >> it takes a lot of guts and you have to really prepare yourself to be ready for that onslaught. and i'm ready now, just bring it i want to bring in sunlen sephardi to the conversation sunlen, there is already pushback from trump's surrogates saying that it's suspicious to come out. >> now, 12 days before an election you asked her about that? >> i did. laura and she pushed back on that. she acknowledged in the past that she had some family considerations. she had to think about in wanting to

stay private with their story, but then she really delved great deal to tell about the slow evolution of her thinking. largely prompted, she said by the metoo movement. and that's what put her in this room talking about this alluding to a former president groping her in this 2022 documentary for sports illustrated. now that she sat for that interview, two years ago and she was recently made aware that that one clip where she said a former president groped or that one clip made the documentary and that debuted just this past weekend. so her thinking she told me in the interview today, she said her thinking is well, it's out there, i want to give more context around it. i want to explain to people. so here i am. i finally want to sit down until my whole story. now, also acknowledging at least that the timing will certainly be questioned. i want to emphasize that during the interview, laura, she made it very clear that she is in support of qanon my harris, and that she

certainly does not want to see former president back in the white house. >> sunlen serfaty. thank you so much, really intriguing reporting. thank you for joining up next, trump's. you're fired. tagline may taking on a whole new meaning as he says that he would fire special counsel, jack smith if he wins the election. and trump says he has no fear of being impeached. if he does we'll see what congressman jamie raskin has to say about all of that. max pizza everyday, plus unlimited topics. >> but does the budget even exist for that, ethan, why are we not talking about the fact that my opponent has coatings because running a small business takes them. that's why we're the help protect your privacy and the give your business or real street address so while you're juggling everything else, like the

assigned russia, of course, has been trump would make them all go away. but it wasn't until today that trump himself confirmed that very plan to pardon yourself, are going to have to fire jack smith which one will you do. >> it so easy, i would try to hit within two seconds now, technically as the washington post reports, the authority to fire the special counsel would actually fall to the attorney general. >> of course, that's one that trump would ultimately appoint if elected. and who would then be in a position to make the four criminal counts against trump go away. counts that include conspiracy to defraud the united states as well. joining me now is someone who is very familiar with the crimes trump is accused of. democratic congressman jamie raskin of maryland, is the bipartisan january 6, maybe and also sorts of the house judiciary and oversight committees as well. congressman raskin, thank you for being here. i'm always eager to pick your brain on an issue,

particularly like this is that how this story ends if trump wins, he gets fired and the federal case is just go poof well, sure. >> that's a major motivation for him even running for president to try to waive his magic wand with his unitary executive power over the entire law enforcement and criminal justice system. >> and then make all of his crimes from his first, four years go away. >> some wondered if that particular action, if you think it's truly the incentive would be an impeachable offense and trump actually told hugh hewitt he didn't think that the house would actually impeach him if he fired jack smith if democrats took control of the house. and assuming maybe if trump wins would you entertain that idea stacking hypotheticals at this point, laura, but the point is that that trump has set himself

at war against the whole constant to funnel order. >> no president has ever remotely been in the situation he's in he's a convicted felon with dozens of criminal offenses. he stands charged right now for a series of offensives relating to his attempt to overthrow the presidential election in 2020 and set aside the constitution of the united states and so he's doing pretty much the only thing he can do to try to completely blockade the criminal justice process, which is to get back into office and then two suspend all of the law enforcement efforts that have been undertaken to deal with his last set of crimes and into render a whole bunch of pardons. he's saying he wants to pardon hundreds of people who were convicted of assaulting our police officers on january 6. he wants to pardon people who were convicted of seditious conspiracy, which means

conspiracy to overthrow the government of the united states. so this is an absolutely extreme, an extraordinary situation. we're in. if you look at full sweep of american history, you and i've spoken a lot in the past about voting rights, about the laws in this country, about the sanctity of elections. and you recently said that elon musk cross the line in his million dollars giveaway to people who are registered to vote and the doj actually warned him that it might very well be illegal. and then today there was no giveaway announced. is that enough for you if he did indeed stop the giveaway or do you want to see more accountability and an investigation into this? >> well, look, nothing's going to happen before the election, so i don't want to spend too much time on it. i think it's a revealing episode, however, because everybody knows that if we had a national popular vote for president, this thing would not even be close. hillary beat trump by more than 3 million votes. joe biden beat him by 7 million votes. i think commonly

will probably beat him by nine or 10 million votes giving this influx of new voters who are not interested in the authoritarian and fascistic politics of trump's cult of personality. but it is the electoral college and the gerrymandered congressional districts and the voter suppression tactics that make this a close race in some places. and what we saw from elon musk's attempt to incentivize people to go out and register to vote and to vote for the musk trump party is that they are looking for ways to create a popular mandate that clearly does not exist because they're on the wrong side of every issue. i mean, if you poll americans about gun safety people are for a universal violent criminal background check trump in his party are against it. the vast majority of americans support woman's right to choose trump in his party are against it. the vast majority of americans

in battleground, wisconsin this is cnn all right, quiz time everyone in the past five weeks, what has been the most emphasized issue in pro-trump tv ads? >> pick a guess. >> the answer transgender issues. >> the bulwark reporting that the trump campaign is pouring a whopping 29 million bucks into ads like the ones you see on your screen right now, criticizing vice president harris's support for transgender surgeries for inmates and migrants in detention. here's just a snippet one ad that's flooding the airwaves prisoners ai, every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access. it's hard to believe, but it's true if you're wondering how much the trump campaign and team has

spent on the number one issue among voters, the economy in that same period of time, $5 again, 29 million on transgender issues 5 million on the economy. >> i want to bring in national political reporter for the bulwark, marc caputo. mark those numbers came from him. this new reporting that's out today in a piece titled trump goes all in on anti-trans mark. welcome, glad to see you. why what is the trump campaign? >> betting on this message in these final, what, 12 days >> remember, in the end of campaign season, the end of a campaign they have enough money where they can really decide, okay, this is what's important to us. and the best way to really show what they think is important, putting their money figuratively where their mouth is is on tv because that's still the most expensive medium to advertise him. and

apparently these ads tested the best and they didn't just do one of these. they've done. three of them. and it's sort of sparked some copycats in the senate races as well. and some of the battlegrounds as well as some of the less competitive races. although i guess texas is sort of a battleground, that's what i was thinking of, but that's a close race. i should correct myself there, but in the end, they think that this is a way in which they can break through and sort of wage. in the words of one of trump's pollsters asymmetrical political warfare. this was not expected. most people think, okay, top issues, the economy, talk about the economy well, this is the one issue they find that kamala harris doesn't have much of an answer for and it sort of speaks to character and since trump is under withering assault over his character, this is a way for him to even up the score and you saying that it was just last week, cuba were sort of scoffing at this headline that said this was a sleeper issue. but you see more and more clearly, it was corresponding to what this

looks like. and by the way, mark, it's not just tv ad spending. i mean, the campaign has spent nearly 2 million on google, on youtube ads. is there a concern in mar-a-lago that they may be overplaying her hand with respect to this issue at the literal expense of other focuses initially when this was sort of being proposed behind the scenes, there was a discussion like, look, i shouldn't we be talking more about the economy but apparently they tested the ads are ways to do this online, do a control group and a group that sees the ad at a tested. >> so off the charts that they were persuaded know this is the way to go. when i first wrote about this a few weeks ago, about president trump or former president trump being the first presidential candidate to advertise about this issue. in a stand-alone way, in a general election, it was a relatively small ad buy but a lot of people saw it because they football, on football, both college football and pro football. and it got a lot of

attention. and it's sort of snowballed from there. >> i mean, bill maher mark says that harris has a pretty steep hill to climb because of the message ads like what these portray. and by the way, wasn't this example kamala's big, i think challenge here to win over the undecided voters is to convince them that she's not part of what they suspect she might be sort of a stealth version of the worst excesses of the left. >> there's people who we don't necessarily like him that much, but they still think he's less crazy then stuff that strikes them as aggressively anti common sense brian, that takes place on the left so that's why they keep running that ad about sex changes in rising. >> do you think this message from bill is resonating with the campaign for harris? >> i don't think so that much. don't get me wrong. kamala harris doesn't want to talk about this. and understandably so the harris campaign points

out the top issues the economy, and polling shows bloomberg swing state poll released just yesterday that on various economic measures and public sentiment, she is catching up to donald trump as to who's better to handle economic issues. >> however there's another side of that coin. >> while she has been catching up on that sort of subset of issues, are that issue? the actual poll horse race between donald trump and kamala harris has gotten narrower than ever. it's essentially a tie race and so when the trump campaign's view, if they have to give up airtime and cede some economic issues in return for dragging kamala harris is favorability ratings down and her poll numbers down, so that he can beater. well, they're going to take that gamble. they're going to take that wager any day of the week well taking of days of the week, there are 12 days left until the election. >> we heard from trump a few days ago that he thinks nikki haley is going to join him on the campaign trail? haven't

seen her. what's the holdup that's a good question i understand that they're still in talks to do this, but time is drawing nih. >> and so far, we haven't seen much of anything in the end. the trump campaign operates on the rhythms i think candidate, which can sometimes be rather erratic as we saw last weekend, he really sort of went off script talking about the golfers, man whom we remember we remember yes like not a typical campaign, then he winds up at this sort of photo done a tossing fries around it mcdonald's. so this is not a typical campaign that operates on typical rhythms at meanwhile, though the past few days have been sort of a rough go for the former president just for what you've advertised here, for instance the, or spoken about here, the accusations against him for groping a woman is former chief

of staff saying that he was admiring hitler. so it's been a really, really tough go for the former president and they are looking to get a little bit more back on track and seize more of the message. but so far that hasn't having the past few days. >> we'll see what happens. only got a few days left in a lot of people have already cast her ballot early marc caputo but thank you so much for stopping by thanks, laura hey, we've got an update for you on a story that we just told you about earlier in the show during my discussion with congressman jamie raskin. so really it turns out that elon musk's super pac is still proceeding with its million dollars giveaway to registered voters despite the doj's morning that it might very well be illegal. now, there was no winner announced wednesday. but tonight, we've learned that super pac has given the million dollar prize to one registered voter in michigan and another in wisconsin. we still don't know why they paused on wednesday in a spokesperson for the pack declined to comment well, the los angeles da

review of all the arguments that were made for people on both sides of this equation i came to a place where i believe under the law resentencing is appropriate and i am going to recommend to a court tomorrow ghassan will ask the brothers to be re-sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, adding they should be eligible for parole immediately through examination of the case stems from a defense petition citing alert that erik menendez wrote before the killings that's already say that corroborates allegations that he was sexually abused by his father, was also a sign declaration from a member of the band menudo, who says that he was also molested by jose menendez. and la superior court judge will ultimately decide whether to re-sentenced two brothers in a date for that hearing on that

matter has yet to be determined, but the da is office hopes it's going to happen by the end of november after today's announcement. that's going talked exclusively with cnn about that decision. >> i believe that they went to prison at race 19 and 21. and what they did was horrible, you know, they premeditated the murder of their parents and kill him but i think there are different people today joining me to discuss mary and klan, a journalist that is closely followed, the menendez brothers case. her reporting was used in the docu-series menendez plus menudo boys betrayed neri thank you for being here today. first off, i've got it hear you for reaction to today's decision to re-sentenced. are recommended floor it's a miraculous day for the menendez brothers. >> they had exhausted their appeals so many years ago. there was no chance for them to ever even hope for freedom.

>> and only knew compelling evidence could possibly be brought forward to give them a shot, not a tv drama series are well-intentioned tiktokers what has brought us to this juncture, this really incredible juncture for the brothers is the new evidence that was brought forward in our documentary and also our team finding that letter that was a to a one-two punch to bring to the judge who then ordered the da's office to reopen this case about 18 months ago. two days after the premiere of our documentary that evidence is nothing short of completely critical and completely impactful it seems and the decision to have this da say, look at it again, re sentence and now life with the possibility of parole. >> i mean, you i think spoke to lyle in prison a week ago. how are the brothers taking all

this in, given that they didn't hear this news as essentially, but how are they taking all this in well, i want forward was excruciating for him. >> he did not want to talk about jose menendez we would talk for many months about the abuse that he alleges he endorses a menudo member and it took a long time to get them to get to jose menendez and he had no idea that he would make any difference in that case. he was dealing with his own demons that whole time so what he represented was finally some kind of independent confirmation that jose mynor none does. was indeed a child sexual predator now, i did spend a few hours with laila about a week ago at the prison you can imagine super sensitive time, super tense time for the brothers but they are very

grateful for the outpouring of support that began when our documentary came out and keeps coming in waves as others, reports are coming out about them, telling more of what they feel is the truth and highlighting the work that they have done at the prison and all of these years, their life didn't end 35 years ago on that horrible, tragic day for their family. they went on to try to get educations in their prisons start programs, hospice programs counseling programs for other prisoners, meditation programs aren't programs green space programs. >> in fact, the last 20 years, whatever prison lyle has been in, the other inmates have elected him be there representative to the administration. >> i don't want to say one last thing that a lot of people are not aware of that in that filing, there are letters from

prison administrators saying who the brothers are now. these are the people who know them the best. >> and saying that they should be released, that they have been rehabilitated unbelievable to think of the journey of this particular case neri and klan. >> thank you. we will see how all of us eventually it turns out. thank you erin burnett outfront is next barack obama together tonight, the duo about to take the stage for their first rally together. >> we're going to bring that back to you live. plus trump >> taylor swift for endorsing kamala harris and warned 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
