8:01 pm
news that's a lot of fake news too. i got to tell you a look that's a lot of fake news. >> i wish it sure. >> they never show the crowds, you know? >> they never show it. you ever see kamala's graph. they put like ten people, they bus sermon, they take a bus and they pay people. that's true. they pay people, they don't get people. they put up like that and the camera always chose us people now it's so crazy, isn't we don't have buses bringing people that people come here. and we and we appreciate that you stay really. i mean, look at all the way to the back, starting in january, we will give our companies the lowest taxes, the lowest energy costs to lowest regulatory burdens a free access to the biggest and best market on the planet. but we're not always going to be the best market. we're close to blowing. and won't be bought, blow it, and we will lose everything. and we're going to keep our dollar standard by the way, 100%. we're going to lose that. we're not going to go into world war iii, little things like that the
8:02 pm
centerpiece of this player, who will be at 15% made in america corporate tax rate, cutting the tax from 21% to 50. now i'm the one who's almost 40. i got it down to 21. but he is the king we're going to cut it all the way down to 15. the jobs are going to be flowing companies because it's going to be about the most competitive rate in the world but only for those who make their product here at the usa and hire american workers for the job he's been listening to donald trump ben traverse city, michigan holding a rally there on this busy friday night. good evening. i'm laura coates is a lot going on, including israel's retaliatory strikes against iran sunrise, just moments away with a damage will start being assessed while the very latest on that for you in just a moment. we also heard from vice president harris tonight deepen the heart of texas where the stars at night are big and
8:03 pm
bright and none bigger or brighter than kelly rowland and beyonce knowles. carter who can be with kelly showing up to try and get out the vote for harris we are so happy to be standing here on this stage. proud country here as a celebrity i'm not here as a politician. i'm here as a mother children and all of our children given our moment right now, it's time for america to sing a new song our voice single course of unity they sing a song of dignity in opportunity are you all ready to agile voice to the new
8:04 pm
americans? beyonce is freedom has been the soundtrack for the harris campaign. and tonight that freedom and reproductive rights was the central theme of harris is message lives in a state with a trump abortion ban. many of these bands are causing care to be denied until a woman is at death's door. and let us agree one does not have to abandon their faith. or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what luntz, democratic strategist, and misha cross, and republican strategist, lance trover. good to have all of you here me begin with you, frank. it was a night. it was a long time coming from those who thought bianna is going to come for the dnc as well. but there she was along with kelly role in giving a very fiery and impassioned speech about but texas, a very
8:05 pm
reproductive rights, about being a mother. she even talked about that men we need you. did that strike the right chord with the voters that you think are most persuadable. >> i found it fascinating that there were signs, freedom, freedom, freedom up to this point has been a republican message. and now the democrats, they co-opted it at the convention. they using, now it's very powerful. it's very impactful but texas is not in play and what is clearly happening in these last two weeks or ten days is that harris is focusing on turnout rather than bringing new people. >> she wants to make sure that the people who support her now actually go to the polls. and this is important. younger women love her younger women do not have a history of turning out to vote if she can bring them new voters to the polls that's a significant challenge to the trump campaign. so the question that i have is, is it better at this point to raise turnout among those who already support you or continue to try
8:06 pm
to go for those last remaining persuadables, uncommitteds and i think it's her message was very strong. >> let me show interestingly enough. i mean, one of the first things she said after coming out onto the stage where she talks about qanon, read and said that she wanted him to be obviously in the senate that race is a little bit more neck and neck in anyone expected against them under ted cruz. and yet here we are. and any president, whoever is behind that resolute desk because got to have really a cooperative congress. otherwise, nothing's going to get done is this part of the strategy that's it's not just top of ticket, but she's gotta look look at link into down-ballot as well. >> 100%. this visit to texas was for the down-ballot race. i think that it has to be understood. they call an all-red has put everything into this race. as somebody who does not think the texas is in play holistically. i do think that we will see people show up for collin allred. i also think that it takes a long time i'm to see a state that has long been read even move towards having enough voter registration, enough excitement
8:07 pm
around a candidate for them to actually even move the needle just a little bit even if it's not a wind that matters, it's a georgia how many years to become a state that was actually competitive again, i think that it might take a similar thing for texas, but the importance of the down-ballot the races, we cannot forget because with kamala harris is economic strategy around you know, more affordable housing making sure that there are entryways for small businesses expanding who can actually start as small business in addition to some of her health care plans those things will require a certain house majority as well as the senate majority. so she's working to make make sure that people understand the importance of those down-ballot races in addition to that, i do think that it's important to expand the base, but she recognized this is a turnout rates. this will be a base to base election. her base has to also get fired up if that's the case, based base is in these final days or the election we're talking about days, the election now how do you assess and evaluate the threat to the trump campaign by her focusing on states like this thinking about the senate races, not
8:08 pm
going to just the battleground states, so to speak. >> is that going to effectively counter or trump narrative? first, trump momentum. >> i think if you look at the cnn poll that came out overnight and the wall street journal poll that came out yesterday. it's easy to look at the head-to-head and say this is a tight race, but there had been warning signs for the harris campaign that has been going on for months now, the top two issues in this race look, she's got the abortion issue. she's got on lock and i get it. she wants to turn her voters but what she's not talking about is lowering the cost of living, but she's not talking about is the immigration issue and actually by going to texas, it gave the trump campaign a really huge opportunity to once again raised the immigration issue backup because it's the biggest border state. that we have. i think you take those two things together and you look at the polling in both cnn and the wall street journal, cost of living is number one, immigration is number two, donald trump leads by double digits in both of those issues. and so until she really starts addressing those issues frankly, i haven't seen her really do that this week at all. i think she's really going to struggle will going into the last ten days of this race,
8:09 pm
trump honed in on what he's been talking about with, with immigration in particular. and he's doubling down i want them pretty wild rhetoric that she herself top talked about as very insulting and thought she was shocked about it. she like he like in the united states to a quote garbage can for the world. and reiterating legal threats of jill election officials and political operatives. when he wins, he says about this idea that people have looked at that talked about it with respect to immigration particular, i wonder how voters are receiving rhetoric like that when he is not just talking about as a garbage can, but he's linking it to other nations dumping people as if human beings could be trash into the united states of america is that resonating no matter how? a while rhetoric is that resonating with voters, just did sessions within the last 48 hours and even newly minted trump voters don't like it they really want him to keep quiet, they want what he wants
8:10 pm
to do more than what she wants to do. they approve of his agenda more than hers, but they don't like him. and they don't like this rhetoric. and in fact, they resented because they dislike or is that meant translate to, i can't vote for you are just i don't like you, but i'll do it. >> it means trump. he is one step away from losing them but she won't win them. he'll lose them and i do want to complement that. you see this effort for small business, which is another example of the harris campaign, taking away a traditional republican, in this case constituency the key in all of this, i think are going to be latino voters they represent roughly 20% of the electorate in every survey. they're showing weaknesses for harris, strength for trump. and yet he's using this language that could alienate them he's these dancing on a pin right now and i wonder, can he do this for the next ten days? >> but i'd argue that this is a new language. he's said very vile things about immigrants
8:11 pm
for a long time and we still see unfortunately this almost very stubborn latino percentage of voters who consistently support him and state after state, if anything, he has gained in terms of his leverage with latino voters, even though he's out here saying while things like this, referring to any human, no matter where they are from, as trash and inserting an idea that because somebody may not have come, may not, this may not be their nation of origin being mindful that donald trump's grandparents were also immigrants, being mindful that two out of the three of his wives were also immigrants, being mindful that he has people on his campaign right now who have immigrant backgrounds or first generation americans. that's wild, okay. what i don't understand and i agree with all that is that he uses this language and yet his numbers are going up over the american has a lot of xenophobic people know these are among latinos. >> first and generation latinos. how can you speak the way? and yet they seem to be embracing think you would have to ask the first first-generation latina. >> well, i think it's pretty clear they're not happy with what's happened over the last
8:12 pm
four years. at the border, i mean, let's let's just let's call it for what it is targeting their community specifically, what they are as upset as anybody is on what's going on at the border. and i think the problem for the harris campaign in her messaging is that she continues to pretend like she had nothing to do with the border problems that we've had. she and joe biden came into office and undid all of the trump border policies which led to millions of immigrants coming into this country. and i think her failure to at least acknowledge that every time she steps out, which is what she did again, at the cnn townhall the other night to pretend none of that happened really is an insult to many of these voters. voters are not stupid. they know how we got to this point and so i think if you look at it, that's why wouldn't donald trump leads on an issue by 60 team points is because these voters are very unhappy. 70% of this country believes were on the wrong track. and so that's why you're seeing the numbers you are. >> i think some people are often talking point. i hear is i came in the quote-unquote, right way and therefore, i have some ability to look down the
8:13 pm
nose. those who've come in, the court unquote wrong away and they use that to compartmentalize their viewpoints. and i've seen this in different polling. you're talking about as polling before. he is not talking about me. now be it far for me to assess whether that's the right frame of mind. it would not be my own viewpoint. but you look at these issues and misha and i do wonder given the fact that she wasn't texas today, and she did not address immigration and said she pulled in and talked about what lands you said democrats have a lock on about the future, about looking and saying, do i want my daughters to have more rights or less rights than i did now, that seems to be a very compelling argument for a lot of voters, a lot of republican voters as well, where abortion is a bipartisan issue i think part of that is because 54% of the american electorate is when it we've seen organizing across college campuses because obviously younger women are the ones who are dire apparel considering they are in the more sports or vertol years, but we we've seen women across
8:14 pm
multiple states and many of them republican women, women who are, who are pro-life, who have had issues where they themselves had their lives at risk because a child that was no longer viable, child who had significant to live. >> they had to carry because of extreme abortion frictions in their states. i think that it's very important that we recognize that this issue as something that crosses all cultural lines. in addition to partisanship, it does not have a partisan leanings. women care about abortion rights. will that be enough i'm not exactly sure because i do think that abortion rights have been on the ballot multiple times. this isn't the first election cycle they've been there and we've seen time and time again where some that when they may be upset about it. but republicans still seems egg out those races. we've seen it, we've seen it specifically in the senate. so it's very frustrating and i don't know how i think that this is going to fall down between. i don't think it's going to fall with latino voters. i think it's going to fall down with white women voters if white women voters show up they showed us support were kamala here is whether it's on abortion
8:15 pm
rights or whether it's on the care economy or anything else within her within her within her plan, it's going to come down to them because if they do what they did in 2016, if they do what they did in 2020 vote for trump in higher numbers because they didn't 2020, then this is going to be a loss. >> well, to be fair both harris and trump are campaigning and having rallies and areas that are not necessarily going to go blue or red for them respectively. but they well know, they're rallies are picked up nationally. you have beyonce on. i don't care if it's just texas or houston. everyone's watching as well. kelly rolling included, and trump has his own list of people he is hoping to compel the nation to watch as well. so you know, the power and magic of television. everyone. thank you so much thank you we are following breaking news in the middle east. >> israel's military confirming tonight, it conducted quote, precise strikes on military targets in iran in, response to an iranian missile attack on israel earlier this month. according to a white house official, president biden has been
8:16 pm
briefed on the strikes and the white house was notified ahead of this retaliatory attack versus telling cnn that there's operation in iran is over. i want to bring in cnn correspondent jeremy diamond, who is in tel aviv. jeremy thank you for joining us. what more can you tell us military now saying that this operation that lasted about four hours included three waves of strikes on iranian targets, military targets inside of iran, they now say that operation is over and they also say that quote the planes have safely returned home. >> we are also getting more detail about exactly what these military targets were inside of iran. they were missile manufacturing facilities as well as air defense systems inside of iran. and of course, we have seen that some of these strikes appear to have been conducted on the iranian capital of tehran ron, as we saw, multiple reports of air defense systems active in that area, plumes of smoke
8:17 pm
intercepts appearing to take place in the night sky over tehran. this retaliation, of course, carried out by israel tonight, was retaliation for that iranian ballistic missile barrage on october for first and over the course of the last three-and-a-half weeks, there have been intense deliberations within the israeli security cabinet, but also intense consultations between israeli and american officials. as the american officials sought to rein in the initial list of israeli targets which they had considered would potentially include nuclear and energy targets. it's put tonight, israeli officials are trying to make very clear that they did not go after those energy targets. they only went after military targets. and now a clear warning from the israeli military spokesman, admiral daniel hagari, saying that if the regime in iran were to make the mistake, he says of beginning a new round of escalation, quote we will be obligated to respond. they very clear warning coming now early this morning as we wait to see
8:18 pm
what if any, that iranian response will be, laura. >> thank you, jeremy, here with me as well as cnn's chief national security correspondent, alex marquardt. alex, the officials in the united states have been very concerned about how israel would retaliate. what are you hearing tonight well certainly i think there's going to be some measure of breathing, a sigh of relief because we've believed that what we saw the course of the past four hours is what the united states expected. >> the u.s. has been very nervous about what israel would actually undertake an in the past 20 before days since the iranian strike against israel on october 1, we have seen the u.s. tried to shape the israeli operation that took place tonight. we heard warnings from president biden and his top aides, essentially saying we really hope that they don't go after iran's nuclear facilities that we really would like them not to go after the oil refineries and other parts of the energy sector because that could disrupt the global
8:19 pm
energy markets. and so we saw the u.s. providing support to israel in a way, i'm told that they would feel comfortable more limiting their strikes that we saw tonight, the u.s. sent this fad air defense system very sophisticated advanced system to israel. they carried out strikes against the houthis in yemen more f-16s were moved to the region. and so going into tonight strikes the us did believe that this series of targets would be rather limited to just military targets. and here looking at this statement from the idf, that's exactly what it was. it was these missile manufacturing facilities surface to air missile capabilities. it did not appear to drea beyond that. and so this is what the u.s. thought would happen. but as we've seen over the course of the past few months with this us u.s.-israeli relationship prime minister netanyahu has often shown that he's ready to defy president biden. and so
8:20 pm
there was some concern that he might go bigger than this. so the hope certainly will be for now that that it could stop here at this for tat going back and forth, but that is far from a guarantee really important to get this information as we continue to watch what happens unfold in the region, jeremy, alex, thank you both so much. we're going to keep an eye on the middle east region all night long actually, ads will keep us cnn's live coverage going tonight right after this show wraps. so stay with cnn ahead. could harris is big rally in texas, have an effect on another huge race when the democrats hope will kick senator ted cruz out of office. well, better work tells us, after this it's time for america to sing a new song vegetable festival that's trouble for food actually, you're both, right wolf,

8:26 pm
former texas congressman beto o'rourke ran against senator ted cruz in 2018, and also ran for president in 2020. beto. thank you so much for joining me this evening. look, ted cruz spent today hitting all red for campaigning with harris, calling both quote, radical and extreme as it help all read to campaign with harris i love to see this. >> and ted cruz would not be pointing this out if you were not concerned, the polls have them neck and neck calling all red is outraising ted cruz by a texas mile. i set the all-time senate fundraising record in 2018 at 80 $80 million call an all-red has blown past that right now, he's got the resources. he's got the momentum for polling closely the event tonight that he held with kamala harris, beyonce, with willie nelson, just adds more excitement and doozy and more energy around turnout, which is what we need in texas
8:27 pm
were not so much a red state. and i know we're not a blue state, but it's more accurate to call us a non-voting stake. millions of registered voters for a number of readings, reasons importantly, voter suppression did not cast a ballot in 2020 or 2022. i think the kind of excitement that we see in the state right now bodes very well for calling all red. and who knows, texas is trending blue faster than any other previously red state. kamala harris, those 40 electoral college votes. it's pretty tantalizing an the last time that a democratic nominee spent time this close to an election in texas, it was bill clinton in 1992, and he got within three he and a half points of george hw bush in this state. so who knows, but 11 days to go, anything is possible in texas it sounds like you think those who have not voted before or have chosen not to vote in the past will vote this time. >> but for harris, you think that he she has a real shot? >> i think the sleeper part of
8:28 pm
the electorate right now is young people. we've spent the better part of this year with powered by people registering young people primarily on college campuses, then asking their permission, getting their cell phone number and staying in touch with them ahead of this election. if they show up anywhere close to their proportion of the population they call an all-red is the winner and kamala harris will get closer than any democratic nominee since bill clinton, if she doesn't outright a eclipse the proximity of his race, and maybe even bring home those 40 electoral college votes. there's gotta be a reason that she's spending this time in texas and not michigan or pennsylvania, or arizona, or georgia or any other conventional swing state. so we're pretty excited in texas and this just adds fuel to the fire why do you think she is focusing on tech is obviously texas has been a state. >> there's been a huge focus reproductive rights. is that why you think she is focusing now? >> that's a big part of it. the abortion ban that donald trump and ted cruz made possible that greg abbott signed into law in the 16
8:29 pm
months following that 26,000 texas women and girls were forced to carry the child of the rapist to turn 26,000 times. there is no exception and for rape or incest or the life of the mother in texas, its most obscene abortion ban in america. and i think kamala harris has a great opportunity to say, hey america, united states, this is your future right here in texas if we don't turn the page, we are not going back so i'm excited that she's in texas for all of the great read reasons, including giving column all read a little bit additional energy, but also reminding america of what's at stake in this election you call trump a white nationalist years ago now, harris is calling trump a fascist along with other people as well. >> i am curious to know what you make of that. is that the right message for her to make at this? final time and stretch think more than anything, the american people, the electorate crave authenticity and honesty.
8:30 pm
>> when i watched the cnn town hall the other night, vice president harris was as clear as powerful, as honest as she could possibly be on this issue because she so deeply cares for and loves this country. and she understands full well that 248 years into this experiment, if we elect someone who promises to be a dictator on day one, who says that immigrants are poisoning the blood of america, a line that you could lift from mine conference out of the mouth of adolf hitler, who promises to turn the military its enemies within meaning, the democratic party, and it's not just kamala harris are beto o'rourke saying it it is general milley. it is general kelly. it is general mattis. these are folks who have dedicated their life to service to this country and in the case of general kelly lost his son in service to this country that's what matters most right now. i love the fact that the vice president is bringing this home with an issue that could very well save what abraham lincoln called the last best
8:31 pm
hope of earth. so she's our leader on all behind her. and i loved to see what she's doing and i know that we're going to win this there's been some consternation now within the democratic party about whether she's appealing too much to anti-trump republicans, senator bernie sanders, time the ap, quote, the truth of the matter is that there are a hell of a lot of lot more working class people who could vote for kamala harris, then there are conservative republicans. >> do you think that harris is focusing? on the wrong constituency issue, neglecting the party's base in these final days i think it's a false choice she wants to be president for everyone in this country. >> so campaigning with liz cheney, i think that's great. i think it's also wonderful that senator sanders and representative ocasio cortez were in texas with congressman greg casar, riling up the base here on these fundamental economic issues. and let's not forget, vice president harris has talked about expanding medicare to cover dental and vision $25,000 first-time
8:32 pm
homebuyer assistance, $50,000 tax credit for first-time entrepreneurs, and making sure sure that we expand the earned income tax credit and the child tax credit. she is talking about the core economic issues at this country, cares about, while also making sure that we understand what's at stake, what's on the line for our democracy and for the future of the united states of america. i think this is a winning strategy former congressman beto o'rourke. thank you so much for joining us thank you, laura two of the country's biggest newspapers declining to endorse a candidate this year. and it wasn't the staff behind the decision, but the billionaire owners, i'll talk with an opinion columnist from one of those papers for his questioning that very decision after this publicly what people are saying i have enough money. i could just shut off

pleaded for me with the harris-walz campaign and this is cnn legendary journalists in america are rebuking their own employer the washington post. the vapor chose not to endorse anyone in the election. and bob woodward and carl bernstein saying in a joint statement we respect the traditional independence of the editorial page, but this decision 11 days out from the 2024 presidential election ignores the washington post's own overlay whelming report, report aureal evidence on the threat donald trump poses to democracy paper says is returning to his roots of not endorsing candidates. but thousands of people have now canceled their prescriptive subscriptions. and the paper's editor at large has resigned
8:38 pm
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 want to become above it all on this thing. they've endorsed all kinds of candidates in this election season. they endorsed the democratic nominee in maryland. they've endorsed other democratic nominees. so is it? just only in the race that donald trump happens to be running in that they've decided not to endorse it's it's it's absurd the choice comes days after the la times made the very same decision while tonight, both papers are reporting their billionaire owner is responsible for ending election endorsements. >> that includes one of the world's rich just men and the owner of the washington post jeff bezos. during me now, la times op-ed columnist and professor at western michigan university lz granderson, lz. good to see you. my friend, the publisher of the post says, he sees that decision as quote, consistent with the values the post has always stood for well, we hope for in a leader

character, and courage in service, the american ethic. i want to know your take isn't courageous for an editorial board. does on the sidelines 11 days before the election question because this isn't an editorial board decision. this is an ownership decision. and so i think if if the plan was not to endorse that plan should have been communicated long before steps were taken to actually put together an editorial or your team and staff was preparing content to be produced or published online. so it doesn't seem consistent. it seems like a last-minute decision and not one that was thought out on. he's communicated to the editorial team about the paper i worked at, as well as the washington post what impact does that having on not only the morale, but the opinion of the reporters and journalists with me organization about where they are much details. i've had a lot of
8:40 pm
quite a lot of conversations with colleagues. i can speak personally i'm devastated, to be honest with you. i'm a journalism professor. i spent two, almost three weeks of this semester, just factoring on watergate we watched documentaries and talk about note-taking importance of journalism. as a professor, i feel like i have egg on my face because i have to go back to the states. my students, not just having my paper, not having no endorse a candidate, but also the washington post, which needs to be studying. so its debt 30 for the industry to have corporate media have such a large impact on journalism you're the daughter or the la times publisher is said to have had a lot of influence over him and tied the papers decision to gaza saying, quote, this is not a vote for donald trump this is a refusal to endorse a candidate that is overseeing a war on children, unquote does that pass muster with you it does not enlarged part because
8:41 pm
i i've been aware of conversations prior to that communication that you just shared and as op-ed columnist, i've written about the war and i know how complicated it is to get something published. and i just don't find that personally to be consistent with my experience, working at the time, so i'm not sure if there's anyone else at a different experience, but from my personal experience, that doesn't seem to cut the mustard at all. no. >> trump actually has been campaigning off of the non endorsements. i mean, here's more from robert kagan, who is the now the former washington post editor at large. listen this is obviously an effort by by jeff bezos to curry favor with donald trump in anticipation of his possible victory. so if we want to know how trump is going to stifle the free press in the united states. this is the answer. this is how it's going to happen, especially when the the media is owned
8:42 pm
lot to lose if trump is angry at them. >> do you share that concern i don't it's not donald trump. >> that's controlling. this is the owner of the newspapers. that's a decision to be made donald trump made his decision as an industry, we can make hours and, you know, as a student of history you know, every example that could come across in which we appease people like a donald trump and never works out well you know, we can go back to the civil war, right? and having the confederates there and and the choice is do you bring them back into the fold or do you treat them as enemies of the country which they were because he tried to destroy the country they decided tried to appease racist. and we're still dealing with this crap today so there's no example in which easy someone like a donald trump works out this isn't his decision. this is my boss's decision. the washington post's decision a lot of people have reacted to these decisions and they've canceled
8:43 pm
or subscriptions for both the la times and the washington post will any of this the lessening of subscriptions, the bottom line, will that have an impact on this decision going forward? >> do you think or change the minds? >> i don't know i have not had an opportunity to speak with dr. pat or my editor in chief, terry, yet i have spoken consistently with my direct supervisor about this i don't know what's going to happen with the corporate media aspect of it, but i'm very, very grateful that corporate media is known for journalism that's available. >> there's other sources of excellent reporting that can be obtained besides traditional sources. now if corporate media is going to try this to squeeze this rock until it gets every last drop and then move on to the next entity to try to to make money off. alcohol, then so be it. but journalism cannot be a corpse in all of this, journalism must stay alive in all of this journalism defend
8:44 pm
its democracy. we hold our elected officials accountable and without the free press. and i know a lot of people may well, there is about this, but the four-part is put this in the first amendment four, a reason because they experienced what it's like to live without a free press. it's oppression. and so without a free press, america that's not america. so i just hope that the people who are canceling their subscriptions, they aren't canceling their subscriptions to journalism. journalism still is mediating this country lz granderson. thank you so much for joining us thank you for having baywatch ever since harris first launched her campaign would beyonce is freedom song as the anthem. tonight, she finally showed up and with it a very important message will talk all about it. >> next incredible shift brink of history

as a singer, but she wasn't there at and celebrity, she wasn't there as a politician. she was there as a mother. what did you think? her appearance of the words and the message that she provided well, it was a remarkable display of essentially three generations of women. >> ms tina, coming out first to prepare the way to speak about the wisdom and eloquence of a generation that sought deeply and profoundly the opportunity see took represent at an equal level to the men and others in the culture. and then kelly came out and gave a rip-snort things, you know speech that was pretty remarkable in its own right of full of vigor and insight. and encouragement of people to re-imagine their futures. and of course, queen be comes out and she represents such an intelligence reflection on the country girl values she, she done only implicitly ties
8:52 pm
it into her latest album, but she makes sure that people understand these are southern roots. you want to say that the other side is hello, good old boys and little girls and down home wisdom. she makes a point that this is a southern reality. the truth of the values they represent, and we are just as good and just as powerful. and we have a future ahead of us. and then kamala harris comes out. so you've got three generation of black women standing up for kamala harris and standing up for democracy. >> they also invoked for beyonce specifically men, men, and women. she, she appealed to the young men and men more broadly saying that we need them, we need their votes did you think that was compelling to try to do that, which the harris campaign is seeking to do absolutely you know, some have chosen to begrudge black men. their independence and their autonomy. some have
8:53 pm
chosen to attack them. >> but let's be real. the greatest concessions just want to see that supports kamala harris are black women. after that black men. >> so you don't want to alienate them. you can call them to accountability patriarchy, sexism, and misogyny are truly endemic in american culture, not just an african-american pockets. so he wanted to bring a message of encouragement come brothers come, father's, come, sun's, come, uncles, and join us in the fight for true democracy in this country. and i think it was a beautiful message well done and timed in such a way to say it's not just about the sisters, is about the brothers too. >> we are this wasn't actually the first time that beyonce has endorsed a political candidate, although there has been a lot made of her doing that this time, she's about what 50, 15 or track record. it didn't move needle when she endorsed hillary in 2016, but i do wonder about the times we're in now, there's a big difference between 2016 and 2024 will this time be different i think so. she's in
8:54 pm
a swing state she's in contested battleground state. he's in a place where people have a tremendous conflict over what the true nature of the vision of america should be. and i think that coming out at just this point less than two weeks before the big day as it were, she lands her voice to an overwhelming i think upswell of people who are trying to decide what to do. and i think for those sitting on a fence, she may be a compelling, but she's also reminding people who are already committed to kamala harris, come on out and vote oh, and stand up, men and women represent for the best interests of this nation what texas becoming increasingly in play for that senate race as well between all red and crews. and of course, harris talking about that specifically but here is what former president trump had to say about beyonce, his appearance just moments after his own rally in michigan. and by the way, earlier today when he also
8:55 pm
wasn't in texas would be i'd say today kamala is here in texas to rub shoulders with woke celebrities, isn't that exciting you think celebrity endorsements will be for the average voter thinking about their politics i think it's a huge one. >> you know, those who are professionals, those are all hands at this. they're going to make up their minds. but for somebody who is fence-sitting or not sure, or trying to question what correction they should take. this could play a significant role. and if you're a fan of beyonce and if you follow her religiously then you know that she is a woman who speaks few words. but when they do come out there authentic, there powerful, they're meaningful. so what she said tonight is quite meaningful, and i think it will have a great impact on those who are trying to figure out what to do, what they're destiny truly is they're just now i saw the
