judge in virginia just today said, we can't do this. the law that congress passed in 1993 says you cannot purge voter rolls systematically within 90 days of the election, restore these people, make sure they know if they are eligible voters. they can vote. that's what's happening in virginia and alabama. it's a big question though, if other states are trying this sort of thing and what courts we'll do. >> you think we're bracing for more of these legal battles? between now and election day. very much so wolf and probably whole bunch more after election day as well. you'll be busy. kaitlan. thank you very, very much. katelyn polantz reporting for us to do our viewers. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room erin burnett outfront starts right now

kamala harris about to hold what could be the biggest rally of her campaign, especially so gas beyond say willie nelson as she tries to help her fellow democrat kick ted cruz out of the senate. >> and breaking news, the washington post in term boil after owner jeff bezos, blocks and endorsement in the presidential election a draft of a harris endorsement was ready to go. >> and now the editor at large has just resigned. he will be my guest outfront plus republicans called well, it voter-fraud, 53 registered voters at one single address. so cnn went to the address and while it turns out it's a catholic monastery sorry. will meet the nuns who are not happy with those baseless lies. let's go outfront >> i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. harris going big, the vice president is about to hold a rally in texas in just moments with beyonce. she's doing her entertainer star power hear bruce springsteen last night, beyonce tonight. she is trying to drive home her closing message which is that

america deserves better than trump. she believes trump is dangerous as for trump himself, he is also about to take the stage. he is in the swing state of michigan and both candidates were in texas today. and even as he stood in the lone star state, though trump was questioning since he's in michigan tonight, why harris was spending time there i think she's coming here today, but she doesn't want to go to a swing state because she's losing so badly in those states. >> so she decided to come to texas and i'm sure she'll be treated very nicely today. she picked the wrong. he thinks she picked a replacement of course, he was in texas then he isn't a swing state though right now. >> we should note though, trump is wrong about harris losing badly in the swing states in the polls right now. i mean, look polls are polls you're bakari sellers last night say it's a polar coaster, but according to those polls, swing states are deadlocked tonight. in fact, harris up outside the margin of error in michigan, just does the national race appears to be in a dead heat.

our brand new poll of polls that will be the final one that we put out. that cnn hear this election on a national scale shows the two candidates tied at 47%. as harris tries to use the star power behind say, along with texas native willie nelson well, also in texas to give a boost to congressman colin. all right. he is locked in that very tight race with the well-established and well-known senator ted cruz, and that he could be at risk for that senate seat. harris campaign official telling cnn that the race is a quote top pickup opportunity for democrats to imagine winning a second and it seems in texas well as for crews, he was with trump earlier today, reportedly for just the first time in public during this campaign. or we should say, cruz was at trump's event today they didn't actually appear together though at any point. so there was no hug or handshake for anybody to see trump, though, was there to support him, gave them a shout out that was nicer than what of course trump had to say today. well, in the past about ted cruz, right remember his father

and jfk, that whole business and what trump is saying about others like harris biden in the country today? >> she's got no remorse at all for the innocent blood that's on her hands and the blood is on her hands in biden too, but biden doesn't know where the hell he is. so what difference would like a garbage can would like a garbage cash would like a garbage can for the rest of the world and after that, harris spoke perhaps in response, giving her closing message about trump the president of the united states should be someone who elevates discourse and talks about the best of who we are and invest in investment to who we are. not someone like donald trump was constantly demeaning and belittling who the american people are. america deserves better there's a flores is. outfront in houston at the harris rally and rosie, you know, the big, big entertainment star there. and a

lot of excitement where you are for that a lot of excitement, a lot of energy, erin, it's what you would expect, right? texas-sized star, like beyonce, queen b in her hometown of h sound. this is also a texas sized venue, as i look around, i can tell you there are so many people here happening, so you can rowdier 21 thousand people. and then there's standing expected but if you're at home trying to figure out why harris in texas when this election is in a dead heat and texas is not a battleground. date well as harris tries to continue to separate in contrast what an america under

donald trump when it comes to a board russian rights and abortion bans in this country, texas has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country. they're texas has but no exceptions for rape or incest. there was a very narrow exception for life of the mother, and it's real life and death consequences it said come about, harris wants to points to tonight. and i got to tell you it's not just the star power that respecting tonight or expected very power well, stories, real women who were denied access to abortions and who either almost lost their lives or actually lost there hi and then again, there is all senate race, erin, that you pointed out the senate race between calling all red and ted cruz ted cruz? la by a very small margins aubedroom, a war in 2018, end what democrats want to maintain is that margin

to stay narrow? >> it not, texas to go i can tell you, erin, i talked to people here are hoping that texas but of course you and i know that that's not the prediction for this year yeah. i mean, that would while you're looking at that, you're looking at talking about pollercoaster that would be the that will be the biggest mistake ever in polls and make 26 scene look like a garden, alright, thanks very much to you, paul begala up a texas is your home state. okay. at both of the candidates there today and obviously is not a swing state. harris is going to be taking the stage and i know that part of this is energizing that she is trying to do in general but i guess it's also about whether the democrats can slay ted cruz, which in and of itself would be a seismic event, right. and that's what they're aiming to do. is that really on the table? >> it's possible, but not likely. okay. but it's if it's going to happen. this is the

year senator cruz is usually below 50 in the polling and this, is like a little pro tip. people look at polls. oh, she's up to, he's up one, don't look at that. when you have an incumbent long entrenched like ted cruz, look at whether he's breaking 50 there's a couple of polls were he is his thing hit hitting 50 but several more of the emerson poll just came out and ted's at 48. >> so that's a real problem for ted cruz colin all red he's a congressman from the dallas area and i know him nancy pelosi sat me down there years ago to help him when he was first starting out. >> and you can summarize collins a whole life in three words jesus mama, football. that's calling, and that's texas. >> yeah, he's a devout christian he was raised by a heroic single mom and he played football at baylor university in the nfl those are some texts, values. i think a lot of people can get mine. >> governor pawlenty, what's happening in texas and what does it say about the country and where this race is? that

trump and harris both spent time there today. as i said, that it is not a state that is a swing state know i think first of all, there's more than one thing going on. >> if you look at the magnetic power of joe rogan, which is why president trump was there to be on joe rogan's podcast in the magnetic power of beyonce, who is from houston, that explain parts of it. ai it's backed if i'm them, there's probably some money raising going on in between stops. or some visits that lead to fundraising and then texas, if you're going to highlight if you're vice president harris, the abortion issue and try to contrast that with the republican restrictions texas isn't the worst place to do that unless you could have done that anywhere. so it is a little bit of a curious stop for her and other than the eu uniqueness of beyonce, she could have conveyed the abortion message from some other place. >> so swing-state trump had to be there because of the rogan podcast. >> so what do you think about that? and why is she there? is it as simple as fund fundraising and do you think her pounding the table on reproductive rights in texas and going to have these human stories that rosa was just

reporting on that are going to i'm sure incredibly moving and hard to hear that she will have on stage there is that going to motivate turnout even outside of texas you know, in swing states prediction of the harris campaign. i was with the vice president when she went to georgia a few weeks ago, she changed her schedule and added a stop in atlanta to talk about reproductive rights. is in part because this is something that aligns with what she wants to be talking about. it aligns with her values, that aligns with what she thinks well, motivate voters, but it also aligns with their strategy. they are trying to gin up support from women for moderate voters, from people who are upset about the abortion bans that have taken place over the past couple of years and recreate the same kind of energy that we saw in 2022. two, when the midterms turned out very well for democrats. and so they are hanging their hat on this strategy. we're going to have to find out in a little over a week whether or not it works. but that is part of the reason that she's in texas. part of the reason why xi is going to be leaning in on

reproductive rights because they think that it will sway enough voters to help them win in november, paula trump is there to talk to joe rogan. we know that, right. and he didn't sit down with him that is joe rogan. it has the number one podcast in america. it's not really going to be an easy interview for anyone. but among his audience are the majority male audience. a lot of a young men people that trump wants to reach. and jason miller, trump advisor, told politico that it's part of a strategy along with things like the barbershop visit and the stop at mcdonald's that is to target this specific group. here's what jason miller said did you show that he someone who has fun. >> i'm old enough to remember back in 2000, they have the debate with bush-gore on who would you rather have a beer with? that was something that people used to talk about 24 years ago. the person who would win that, even though he doesn't drink, would be president trump. >> paul man, jason got to get a higher class of tails. look,

donald trump hates his voters. what last week he called them, he didn trump did. he called them fat pigs get off what those sofa jill get him off slapping. >> he called his own voters, fats slobs and fat pigs he is a guy, by the way, charges 1 $1 to join the mar-a-lago golf club was only 100,000 a few years here's it goes. >> so that's a little greedflation. >> he, he hates those people is contempt for those folks. >> i don't know if donald trump has ever been in the front seat of a car. >> he was chauffeur driven to his elite private academy as a kid so it's complete and by the way, i hope to kamala harris campaign will push this she is so rooted in the middle class and she like trump at mcdonald's. >> i think he just fired a few people just just at a habit while he was there. i mean, he's a plutocrat and that's the way democrats not to go after him, is he was potty train a gold toilet for god's sake i mean, he is the child of college professors yes, but

that's the middle-class. >> i mean, she is very much rooted in the middle class that you went to howard and she worked. >> i know i understand what you're saying, but economic i mean, perhaps economically but socially i think it's all my friend isn't it oh, sure. >> but she is still rooted in that middle-class and largely raised by a single mom, right? which a whole lot of mock class americans are. and she is much closer to that and look at her policies. she needs to focus on this more frankly, and this allegation of fascism less. okay. she needs to say, i'm going to help you start a small business. i'm going to help you buy your first home. i'm going to help you pay for childcare for your kid and elder care for your grandma those are real meat and potato, middle-class things that comes from her own life experience haven't cared for her mother while she was dying, mr. trump, he didn't care about anybody except donald trump. >> so so governor, let me ask you about joe rogan because i know you're a longtime joe rogan listener. you told us that edison research, which tracks this viewership, i'm sorry, the listenership for joe rogan is 80% male. and more than half of that group is between the ages of 18 and 34.

so that is a demographic that trump has been trying to reach. but as i said, joe rogan is an unpredictable in some ways, right? about how he's going to go about it? but that's, that's why he has been so successful. so we don't yet know how this podcast went. what do you think it was a smart decision for trump in this final hour? >> i think it was a really smart decision for president trump. this is the as you said, the most popular podcaster in the country. it's disproportionately younger men. that is one of the key persuadable voter groups left in this election. and so for president trump to go, there is a tremendous opportunity, but to your point, erin joe rogan is no pushover for anybody. he was in bernie sanders port or some years ago, he's been very skilled and very pointed in his interviews with lots of people. and that podcast traditionally goes two to three hours. it will be interesting to see how long president's trump sat there. but joe rogan is really good at getting people to cut through the bs and forcing them to give a real answer and so

this will be a great opportunity, but it will be a great test if i might just quickly add to the previous point, president trump, one of the reasons people are drifting away from certain democratic candidates is because they feel they can't say anything anymore. and so when they see president trump acting semi maniacal with his words or whatever, a lot of people like that and sort of the democratic party is the place where you can't say anything unless somebody you get in trouble, you get canceled. you can't have any fun. and so president trump, i think is trying to signal that he can be that person for some of the remaining voters who are under decided or persuadable tiller looking at the polls, and i know it's tough to look at them, but we've gotten michigan poll where harris is up outside the margin of error. now by three, how confident is the harris campaign right now in those swing states, i mean, does that play into why she would perhaps choose to spend a few hours in texas as opposed to a state that she has to win a sign of confidence.

>> i think like any democrat in the last couple of weeks of a presidential campaign, they are nervous, they are worried, they are worried that their voters won't turn out at the levels that they need two, especially in some of these cities. but they are trying to shake things up. they have been spending a lot of time in michigan and wisconsin and pennsylvania. they are trying to shake things up, introduced her to the country control the media narrative because trump says so many things that are bizarre. he controls the media narrative, she's appearing with beyonce going outside of the typical swing states to try to get a little bit more medial your coverage and get a national stories. also, the reason why she's going to be having a big speech on the national mall next tuesday and trying to make a closing message that will be able to get enough eyeballs too. the change the narrative? yep. all right. well, we will see in these final hours as this race continues. thank you all very much. i appreciate you. i breach you on a friday night. next the breaking news explosions heard in tehran. we are going to bring you the very latest of what we're learning on that from the ground and outrage at the washington post after jeff bezos, who owns it,

blocked off the paper from endorsing in the election. a draft of a harris endorsement was ready to go post editor at large, who just resigned is outfront first television interview. just moments ago, some more fallout from inside the posts and we're going to tell you everything we know. let's trump and harris making their closing arguments in the final days of the campaign. how effective is trump's when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there. >> they said, oh, my my god the ozempic he tries him >> lord, my a1c cv risk and lost some weight. and studies the majority we will reached an a1c under seven and maintained it. i'm under seven ozempic lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults, also with known heart disease all right my wrist adults lost up to 14

pounds. >> a lost some weight. >> i was emphatic, isn't for people with type one diabetes, don't share needles or pens or reuse needles, don't take ozempic if you or your family never had medullary thyroid cancer or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type-2 or the allergic to it. it's not ozempic and get medical help right away. if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction? serious side effects may include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems may occur until your provider about vision problems are changes taking ozempic with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase low blood sugar risk side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration problems living with type two diabetes. >> as about the power of three with ozempic liberty mutual customizes my car insurance. >> so i say hundreds. >> but the money i saved, i thought i get a wax figure of myself cool, right look at the craftsmanship. i mean, even got my nostrils right. >> she has nice to know years after i'm gone sky, will? be standing the test, it is nothing. >> oh jeez, know only pay for

israel has indeed begun their retaliatory strikes on iran. >> this is of course retaliation for that barrage of ballistic missiles that iran fired at israel. some 200 ballistic missiles at the beginning of the month of october. and now some three-and-a-half weeks later, it appears that israel's retaliation is indeed now underway with multiple explosions reported in the iranian capital according to iran on semi-official fars news agency now there's a lot that we still don't know at this stage, even as we are starting to get dramatic images of plumes of smoke smoke emerging from tehran. we don't yet know exactly what the targets were of this iranian strike, but make no mistake already, just the fact that these explains slogans were reported in the iranian capital. this is an indication that israel is carrying out a more severe retaliation than the one it did for ron's initial attack against israel back in april when it targeted the city of

isfahan. some air defense batteries there. this is now in the heart of the iranian capital. the question is what were the targets? were these simply military targets or was there something else here that had been one of the major points of discussion between israel and the united states. but we can now confirm that those are the retaliatory strikes by israel have indeed begun now, in iran. >> all right, and crucial obviously. and as jeremy is saying, from reporting these explosions into ron. we don't know about explosions elsewhere what those are. and obviously, anyone following this, there had been the leaked information from the u.s. government about what it knew about israel's list of strikes and perhaps that had delayed this are change it. it's unclear at this point, alex marquardt and was more than anybody, he is obviously confirming that what the iranian state media alex's reporting about these explosions is indeed part of this anticipated israeli strike so what more are you learning? earning from your sources and the fact that the first

explosions that we're hearing about are coming from tehran and not from a military base or i suppose it could be one of the base there, but not from a military base elsewhere in the country. what's the significance of that? >> well, what we're hearing from the iranians is that this is west of tehran, so it's unclear what, what that may be, whether it's a military installation, whether it's air defenses. but as you point out, erin, this his long awaited i mean, the iranian strike against the israelis was back on october 1. and here we are, some 24 days later, and i am told by an official that this retaliatory strike by. israel is very much underway. and i think what we can expect to see over the course of the evening will be very different from what we saw back in april. remember that was a huge iranian strike was more than 300 ballistic cruise and missiles and drones and the israelis responded in a rather limited fashion against a single air defense battery in near isfahan this time they're retaliating for a bigger iranian strike on october 1st, we saw some 180 ballistic

missiles. more ballistic missiles than the previous time. they arrive in israel in just moments no one in israel was hurt or killed. but at the same time there was immediately an expectation that israel would respond in a very significant way. what we're gonna be watching for in the coming minutes and hours is exactly what these targets are. and from that, we will be able to gauge whether there will be yet another turn, yet a another response from iran in a way that this could further escalate the situation which of course is the biggest fear here to washington. >> all right? absolutely. right. we're so we're going to continue to watch this because as you say, alex we're hearing about those explosions it would be consistent with everything we expect that there will be more in other places and obviously there's quite a bit of darkness. it literally and figuratively in terms of our ability to see what's happening there right now. so as you get more, we're going to be coming back to you there is other breaking news though as we await alex, jeremy more

reporting, the washington post is in turmoil tonight after the publisher announced that the newspaper will not endorse a candidate for president. that's the first time they have not done and so. in 36 years of presidential elections, the post itself reporting that the decision came from the papers owner, amazon founder jeff bezos. now, the editorial page had drafted an endorsement of kamala harris before the decision was made according to a source and the fallout has been immediate washington post editor at large, robert kagan resigning from the newspaper tonight. others possibly to follow. there are people canceling their subscriptions. i've heard some of them they're using that as a way to express their feelings. others are threatening to do so just moments ago, eight washington post columnist including david ignatius, ruth marcus, eugene robinson nationally, no names of course, speaking out and calling the decision, quote, a terrible mistake and a quote abandonment of the fundamental editorial convictions of the newspaper that we love robert kagan is outfront, as i said, the just resigned editor at large of the washington post

also author of rebellion, how anti-liberalism is tearing america apart again bob, i have so much to ask you. i know it's emotionally, mentally every way an incredibly difficult day and moment for you so you made this decision to resign tell me what how you came to that decision. what got you over the line decision. >> this is obviously an effort by jeff bezos to curry favor with donald trump in anticipation of his possible victory. trump has threatened to go after bezos's business basis runs one of the largest companies in america. they have tremendously intricate, relations with federal government. they depend on the federal government and trump has made it clear that he will oppose, will attack media organizations that are critical of him, that he's threatened to take away cbs's license. and this is clearly an effort by bezos to try to get on trump's

good side and advance of his presidency. so if we want to know how trump is going to stifle the free press in the united states. this is, this is the answer. this is how it's going to happen, especially when the media is owned by corporate titans who have a lot to lose if trump is angry at them, obviously the los angeles times going through this as well. >> but when you say clearly an effort by by bezos to curry favor with trump, or because of his fear of trump you just laid out all your reasons there. i'm just wondering, robert, do you know from meetings you've had things you've heard today in your capacity is reporting do you know any more specifics or or is that just your belief based on things that have been said in the past know i mean, it's the latter. >> i've read what you've read. that's all i know. i don't have any inside information, but look, it trump did threatened bezos's in the past he talked about taxing

amazon more heavily and other things. and so the post has had no trouble endorsing presidential candidates up until now. and by the way, this argument that they're making, that somehow they wanted to become above it all on this thing. they've endorsed all kinds of candidates in this election season endorsed the democratic nominee in maryland. they've endorsed other democratic nominees. so is it just only in the race to donald trump happens to be running in that they've decided not to endorse it it's it's absurd. i think we understand. i think anybody who's got a sensible understanding of situation knows why this happened. >> alright, so to the point that you're raising that they've endorsed other candidate it's this cycle. i'll share with everybody. obviously what you know, which is will louis, you're publishers, your former publishers explanation. so he's saying this is a return to the papers roots that's how he's clarifying it and the way that they're putting this out there is washington post is founded in 18 77 it did not endorse a presidential candidate until 1976, and then

chose not to endorse in 1988. so he continued to say, we see it as consistent with the values the post has always stood for. and what we hope for in a liter character and courage and service to the american ethic veneration of the rule of law and respect for human freedom and all its asked thanks is there anything real in that or do you think that that is just a whole load of garbage what you just said it look, it's, it's absurd. >> they have to say something. what are they going to say? we are, we are in fact bending the knee to donald trump it because we're afraid of what he'll do it, they're not going to say that obviously they're going to say this, but look, the editorial page, not just the washington post as a new who's organization, but the editorial page has been laying out for almost eight years arguments as to why donald trump is not only the wrong candidate, but an actual threat to american democracy. the editorial page has been doing this so for them to decide that this is the election that they're going to sit out when they he had made

it very clear the editorial page that trump represents a threat to democracy. look, there's no explanation other than the most obvious one. this is a simple question with a simple answer there was one question i wanted to ask you, robert, as you think through this and that isn't a sense of, you know, we live in this world that just so polarized and so fractured and so angry and is there anything and i'm not saying this is the argument they're making, but is there anything to be said for if well-known, established, venerated institutions like the washington post or the los angeles times, new york times has not yet endorsed, i don't know what will happen there but then if they if they don't endorse that, maybe in the future in a world where half of this country is going to vote for donald trump and half of this country is going to vote for kamala harris, that there might be a future for the an institution like the washington post to reach both sides as opposed to be seen being seen as only a liberal, more democratic newspaper. >> is there anything for you. intellectually in that no,

because everybody knows or should know that the editorial page of every newspaper is separate from the news coverage. >> i don't think the washington post thinks it's an act like a liberal newspaper. i know people who are critical the post-may think that but it isn't that it's trying to deliver the news. the editorial page has a different function janina toil page presents opinions on a lot of issues they tell americans what they think about all kinds of things that americans should be doing. and no one has ever thought that somehow that gets in the way of the washington post doing its job as a news organization. so everybody can come up with all kinds of reasons why they are doing this. but i think we should just see clearly that this is the beginning of how trump is going to control the media, especially that media that is controlled by corporate interests, because all of corporate america has been now bending the knee to trump. we saw jamie dimon do this back in january at davos where he decided to say out of the blue

that trump is right about some things. corporate leaders want to make sure that they're not at odds with a president who does threaten them. if they behave badly, all right, so just a couple of things to understand where we are. >> because i think a lot of people want to know. do you expect more resignations? i mean, i know you're your friends or colleagues, ruth marcus david ignatius put out a statement saying that they don't support this, but do you think more people are going to resign i have no idea and everybody has to make their own decisions about this thing. >> it's a little easier for me to resign them for others, so i don't i don't presume and the judge, what others do and we'll just have to see. >> now in terms of the subscriptions, right? that's the kind of outrage that's out there right away. people canceling their subscriptions to the washington post if people feel strongly, you can understand why they do that. that's the lever they have to pull but do you think that's the right lever given what you're saying and how you see this happening, or do you think people should be actually looking at their amazon subscriptions, right? i mean

exclusively on max looking at live pictures out of michigan where former president trump is about to rally supporters and it comes just one day before michelle obama arrives in the battleground state to make her first appearance with harris alayna treene is outfront and she is at the trump rally in traverse city, michigan. >> selina trump has obviously spoken a lot in the past 24 hours about revenge that he wants to get if he returns to the white house so what has he been saying? >> while air and he's been escalating that rhetoric further. i mean, i think there's no question that retribution has been an underlying theme throughout his entire campaign, but we're really seeing him ratchet up that inflamed emetarom language in the leadup to november fans and out of first of all, today he posted about special counsel jack smith. we know that donald trump has long had very harsh words for him, but he said that he wanted to quote, we should

throw jack smith out with them. the mentally deranged people he said that he should be put in jail and those comments come just a day after he had told hugh hewitt on his radio show that if he was elected he would fire jack smith immediately. he also said though today he also posted posted about wanting to seek revenge on election officials. democrats on opposition political opponents, that essentially perhaps that he said would cheat in the election when to read you some of what he wrote, he wrote, quote those. >> he said when he wins those people that cheated will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, which will include long-term prison sentences. he went and on to say, please be aware that this legal exposure extends to lawyers, political operatives, donors are legal voters and corrupt election officials. he also said that they would be prosecuted, prosecuted at levels that this country has never seen before now, to be clear, erin donald trump has

posted very similar thanks in the past on his truth, social website, but he reposted this today on x, which obviously has a much wider audience. and i think the timing of this is, of course, notable. first of all, it comes as there's a lot of questions donald trump leaning into saying that his political opponents and democrats or the enemy of the people of this country. he's also been facing a lot of heat sure those comments from john kelly to the new york times, i think the context of this is very important to keep in mind and really how donald trump is saying exactly what he would do if he's elected erin. >> all right? >> thank you very much. and alayna, as add that rally of pro-trump tonight. >> and also tonight, the number 3%, 3% to tiny little number. >> but it is how many voters are undecided, just 11 days before election day. and by the way 3% of many millions is not a tiny little number. it's a big number. so what should campaigns do about it? harry enten is outfront at the magic wall. harry 3% is a lot of

people, but at this point in the race, when you are less than two, almost basically just about one week away from actual election day it's really incredibly low, right? for this point in a presidential race, it's incredibly low error. >> you know, i went back through history, you know, i like to go back through history and i decided. all right, 3% of voters are undecided at this point. that is the lowest that i could find on record this entire century. i think there's some folks who wonder how could there still be folks want to decide, but that's actually an extremely low number, is half the level that we had at this point in the 2020, in the 2020 campaign. its a third of the level that we had at this point in the 2016 campaign. but the truth is, this race is so tied at this particular point that if those 3% go to one okay, candidate or the other, it could change the entire electoral map. so let's just say they go to kamala harris writes, you wins in pennsylvania. she wins in michigan. she wins in wisconsin. she wins in nevada. she wins in arizona. she wins in north carolina, and she wins

in georgia as we go crews in the usa, she would get get this 319 electoral votes. but of course, erin, there's no guarantee that they will all go to her. let's just say that in fact, they go in the other direction. they go in trump's direction. i'm going to do a neat little trick here. boom, i changed all these states to read. and what does that get if donald winds up in the great lakes that southwest and southeast, that gets donald trump up to 312 electoral votes. so there's still the possibility of a blowout if all the undecided move in one direction, which frequently they do, erin, which is very interesting. >> and that would be a blowout. i mean, 3-12, you know, in the world we live in now, what's interesting though, is in this whole context of our, they should they'd be persuading voters in these final hours or just trying to get turnout up among people they know like them, right. so it would seem like from what you're saying that turnout maybe would be where you focus on your base, get your base out absolutely right. >> one of the most interesting things in this country, as we've been consistently seeing the number of voters entering

the alliance electorate rising. so you know, you go back to 2012, barak obama got about 66 million mitt romney got a little less than 61 million. and then of course you jump ahead to 2016. what happened? you see that trump's number one considerably up almost by about 3 million folks, hillary clinton got about the same level as obama did. and then you jump ahead to 20 20. what happened? boom. >> oh, my goodness, gracious. look at that. donald trump jumped in 74 million. that was the second most number that anyone has ever gotten for a popular vote. the problem was the turnout for the democrats jumped even larger and joe biden got the most votes separate for president at 1 million. so perhaps going to turn out isn't the worst idea in the world darren, i mean, it's pretty amazing so you get a massive turnout like that that was massive, right? >> yes. okay. now, this time you look at every day the early voting comes in and his record is a record. it's a record you could i mean, it's so it feels when you look at it that way that this might be sort of the most spectacular town out we've ever seen. but you say do not

think, do not like count your chickens so fast. >> don't count your chickens before they hatch, because take a look here, look at the extremely motivated to vote in this election. you go back four years ago. it was 73%. you look at that number today, 65%, don't be fooled necessarily by the early vote numbers. it wouldn't be surprising to me if turnout actually dropped in the selection for the first time since you have to go back to 2008 versus 2012, still a lot of time to go. we'll see how many people actually turn out on election day, erin. >> well, that's it. yeah, it's fastening point, right? so 65% are extremely motivated. maybe those are the people we're seeing now, maybe i'm just all you're gonna get that record. so the context is crucial. all right, harry, thank you very much and as talking about motivating the base, right. you've got harris in texas talking about reproductive rights. you've got trump in traverse city, michigan at a rally, right? so this is about base excitement and enthusiasm for both of them. the question in michigan tonight is whether trump will fill his speech with a personal insults and rambling. he has as of late, even more than what he has become known for, jason

carroll is outfront next president of the united states in the final weeks of his third white house bid, donald trump is dialing up his inflammatory rhetoric we can't stand you or your vice president, the former president, offering a mix of crude comments and arnold palmer was all man and i say that in all due respect to women, i love women when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there. >> they said, oh, my god say it i have to say, along with racist and sexist comments about his democratic rival, i think she's dumber than hell. she's lazy as hell during public appearances, trump at times telling meandering story worries. i mean, i saw a solar field come am in favor of solar, but it's not the same

thing. it's got to fire up these massive plants or not. but i saw a solar flare we held the other day that looked like it took up half the desert. i'd never saw anything like it, so steel and glass and wires and it looks like hell. and you see rabbits, they get caught never for the environmentalist, it's just terrible. >> trump has repeatedly pushed back on criticism. he is racist or sexist, claiming women, blacks, and left love it. while there are many similarities between trump's latest campaign and the previous to his speeches are longer than they used to be, according to the new york times, last thing an average of 82 minutes compared with 45 minutes in 2016 democrats seizing on trump's lengthy remarks criticizing his lack of focus and sharpness. >> have you seen mr. trump lately? he's out there just he'll give two-and-a-half-hour speeches just a word, salad, the gop nominee is seeking to

put a different spin on his rhetorical style, saying he's not rambling he's weaving. >> i do the waves, you know, the wave. i'll tell a story. i'll go for ramping pampa. actually genius. i have to say and fair and small part people say its total genius, if it is a word salad, some trump supporters are eating it up, whether outside trump tower in manhattan, what do you make of some of these statements that he makes? an have you heard some of them? does it that's a mainstream media passing around fatal news, like they always do groceries have gone up like triple and i'm hoping that people don't think about that when they go into that voting booth or out a rally in michigan today, that's just his style, but that's a style that guy them all the support. >> that's a style that got this movement started auif it's not broken, don't fix it and won trump supporter that we spoke to said he felt as though donald trump wasn't going far enough in terms of going after kamala harris supporters. >> we spoke to say that the

rhetoric to them really doesn't matter, what matters to them. it's trump's position on issues such as the economy, the border, and national security all right. >> jason, thank you very much, you bet. and then national security, we do have that breaking news here. we've got more to tell you about what we understand happening in these dark hours. early hours of the morning in tehran, israel striking iran, israel elie officials say strike is on military targets. there had been discussion about how that would be defined, whether it could go broader. there are explosions now heard in tehran and matthew chance is live in israel tonight. so matthew, what are you learning? about exactly what is happening in iran >> i've just got off the phone from one of my sources inside israel and they've told me that they wanted to emphasize that it was just military targets that were struck inside iran and in what they're calling this retaliatory strike

by israeli forces inside the islamic republic at the targets. the source told me, do not include energy, infrastructure targets so that was said to emphasize that this was military. only. remember the united states president biden had urged the israelis to stay away from nuclear targets and from oil targets as well, which could have said petrol prices gas prices spiraling ahead of the u.s presidential election. it seems according to the statement that they've certainly, they've certainly done that. and so that's i suppose a small mercy as a result, as we see this operation continue also, we've just learned from alex marquardt reporting out of washington that the united states says it was not involved in this israeli military operation i just asked you, just i'm not sure whether this

if, i'm, if i'm clarifying here or this may be an area where not yet sure. >> and your reporting may show that matthew you saying that they did not strike energy infrastructure, that would mean oil refineries. some of those things that had very much been on the table earlier but military sites, do you does that where do nuclear facilities other than nuclear military facilities fall on that? do we know whether that is part of this at this point or not? >> well, from the sources that i've been speaking to inside the israeli military, there, emphasizing that nuclear sites, energy, infrastructure, oil infrastructure, okay, we're not part of the targeting in this in this retaliation in terms of what the precise targets were beyond them being military, that's not being disclosed to us at this point. >> all right. well, and important just to lay all that out, so clearly, matthew chance. thank you very much. i want to go to general spider marks now. general what matthew just laid out there is it's a

strike. we don't know if it's just tehran where the explosions are. how much more is either to come or that we still don't know about. so i will say that but i will say that the reporting from matthew chance would indicate that this is a much more targeted and narrow strike than many any israeli government had actively been pounding the table for, and at one point, thought they were going to be successful in getting what do you think about the strike, which does not involve oil or refineries or energy or nuclear sites and this is the first step in what i would suggest is probably a multistep response. >> i don't think we're going to see this exclusively. and then israel goes back and says, okay, we're going to pause. i think what we're seeing is an effort on the part of the idf to go after iran's ability to conduct command and control that decision-making apparatus they could be going after fiber after their town hours, trying to reduce the ability of the

leadership in iran to make decisions, then you go after air defense capabilities. you shut those dead, then you go after a military targets. now everything i just described is a military target. and to your point, about strike against its nuclear facilities clearly the enrichment capabilities written a taunts inferno the israeli has said they're not going to go after those. okay, let's take them at their word. however, nuclear r&d, those facilities are co-located with military locations. so to your question, you're probably going to see a twofer. they're going after military capabilities. they hope to degrade that long term capability that the iranians nuclear r&d, and crucial information. and of course right now, we just, we don't have full transparency on it is literally unfolding as we speak, general. thank you. as we get more from the region, from our alex marquardt we're going to bring it to you. we also have an investigation next, a bogus voter fraud conspiracy theory about nuns seen nearly 3 million times

boosted by elon musk's super pac america's best for a comprehensive quality yeah, exam. >> oh, good call, get two pears and an eye exam for 79, 95 at america's best we just want to have enough money for retirement and traveled to visit our grandchildren. i understand. that's why at fisher investments, we start by getting to know each other. so i can learn about your family lifestyle, goals and needs, allowing us to tailor your portfolio. >> well, what about commission-based products? >> we don't sell. those were a fiduciary obligated to act in your best interests? >> so how do you management tastes work? >> we have a transparent fee structured, so we do better when you do better at fisher investments, we're clearly different okay. everyone, our mission is to provide complete balanced nutrition for strike that energy ensure with 27 vitamins and minerals,

but that no one was living there. and that therefore suggesting it is evidenced of widespread voter fraud. so we wanted to find out what's really going on. and it turns out that this address is actually a catholic abby filled with nuns and those nuns are not happy. danny freeman went there and he has this story first outfront lake erie, tucked into the crisp fall foliage of western pennsylvania. >> the benedictine sisters of erie live a peaceful life in a modest monastery this is my favorite window. sister, stephanie schmidt is the prioress, the leader of the 50 plus nuns. who have called this place home for decades. >> when you make your vowels here, you're committed to this monastery and airy for the rest of your life? >> did it come to you as a bit of a surprise when all of a sudden on social media someone was saying that no one lives here more of a shock a surprise where is this coming from what

planet are you living on on tuesday at x account claiming a bit ahead of a canvassing operation in pennsylvania, posted breaking a member of the pa chase discovered an address in erie, pennsylvania today, were 53 voters are registered turns out it's the benedictine mr. severely, and no one lives there. we will not let dems count on illegal votes. the claim is a canvasser walked in right into the lobby and was told by someone, no one lives. there it's misinformation. no one here had that interaction with whomever supposedly came by canvassed no one here would say no one lives here. >> the post seem more than 2.7 million times and reposted by elon musk's america pac included a long list of names. >> all women implying they supposedly don't live here and aren't real voters at all. >> you know, most of the sisters who live here, correct?

i know all of them. >> you know, sister rita, sister anne, their forces threads, right. >> used to be seven, but now we're down to four for sister annette sister adraee? yes. sister barbara sister dolores? yes. sister placia 107? no kidding. >> just turned hundred and seven let's turn to 107 high at lunch. >> we saw the sisters of erie firsthand can you tell me how long you lived here 63 years i've been in the community 54 years ai under to 59 we reached out to the canvassing operation jenin poster for comment, but did not hear back, are used to being accused of things like being too active and, you know, being we've always been very vocal about peace and justice but i've never heard us accused of fraud or not existing or not existing. after the nuns publicly pushed back on the claims, the original poster tweeted in parts right

now, we've got our team continuing to analyze the situation. once we have proof, we will be contents. the nuns acknowledged they are in a swing county in a swing state and misinformation is bound to flow in these final days of the presidential election. do you think this whole incident is going to galvanize more sisters here to vote you don't need to galvanize the sisters here to vote they will vote. they all vote these nuns all vote, they're also not afraid of a fight. >> they tell me that they've actually reached out to their attorneys to see if they might take any legal action after this incident? >> erin fascinating story and fascinating report, danny, thank you very much doing that, going knocking on the doors and getting the facts. before we go tonight, earlier tonight, we do were discussing those major newspaper has endorsed harris and did so
