4:04 pm
never show too much anger to prove time in a time again that she belongs but for trump understanding of policy no ability to put together a coherent argument no honesty, no decency, no morals instead, to many people are willing to write off his childish, mean, spirited antics by saying, well, chance to just be in trump kalamazoo or that rally just wrapped up a short time ago. even we heard the crowd. they sounded pretty ferociously loud how did you see them reacting to the former first lady's message? >> well, jess, it was a passionate speech in this crowd was fired up in many ways. it was a call to action from the former first lady as she kept
4:05 pm
repeating. do something to michigan voters, just don't sit on the sidelines and she spoke about this issue of reproductive rights in a really interesting way essentially telling women that they had every right to lean on the men in their lives to not empower someone in her view that would assault their sense of safety. take a listen right? your wife, your daughter, your mother we as women, will become collateral damage to your rage eyes? >> the women and children you love and tell them that you supported this assault on our safety to the women listening we have every right to demand
4:06 pm
that the men in our lives do better by us lot about democratic jitters essentially, democrats very nervous while republicans are strutting, but i have to tell you that vice president harris appeared especially confident on stage tonight and kalamazoo. be a tight race till the very end. so we have a lot of work to do, but we like hard work bargain work and make no mistake we will win closing argument is that the former president is increasingly exhibiting behavior that illustrates that he has ill-prepared for this
4:07 pm
moment and unfit to lead this country. jess and eva, what is next for the vice president? obviously it's a mad dash dash to the end of this election it sure is. >> she's going to be worshipping at a black church in philadelphia tomorrow and then she hits back here to michigan for an event where she'll be joined by her running mate, governor tim walz, in ann arbor, michigan just a full schedule. >> alright. eva mckend. thank you so much. we really appreciate that meantime, former president trump just leaving the stage and state college, pennsylvania, cnn's danny freeman, is there and danny, i know you were there for all of his remarks what did he say to the crowd 24 hours and certainly this event here in state college was really all about reaching out young men. >> of course, this event was on a college campus here at penn state, so it was about reaching out to young voters to an extent largely. but really it was focused on young men, not just this event but his actions
4:08 pm
over the past two days. >> now, visibly with this event, he was about an hour and 20 minutes ago. >> that's how long he spent speaking on the stage. he just wrapped up a few moments ago. there was much of his normal pennsylvania type of stump speech, as you noted, he spoke a lot about fracking. he bash the biden-harris administration when it came to you? immigration, he also actually made fun of vice president harris and beyonce saying that beyonce, i did not seeing last night adam events that harris hill in texas and he was speaking front of the superstar singer part because of that. but early on, and this is what it comes back to. again, this idea of reaching out to young male voters he really played to the crowd here admiring the penn state wrestling team. he was admiring their muscles quite a bit, saying, look at them, look at their muscles all over the place, and then joked, maybe he did wrestle. ron are two of them. the crowd loved it here. he then invited the penn state wrestler up on stage, had one of the members of his team on speak out to the ground proud of course here the hometown crowd really enjoyed that again, that's the through
4:09 pm
line of the past 24 hours because you combine that in addition to perhaps the biggest headline of the weekend was residents. i'm speaking on the joe rogan experience. joe rogan's very famous odd gas. in that interview, which is very interesting because it was jessica three hours it didn't really break much new ground. it was meandering a times, he was free reeling the former president brought up more of these election conspiracies that he has brought up in the past. but he's reaching out to perhaps a segment of young men who are maybe not as plugged into the election, maybe less likely to vote. that's who this campaign is trying to reach out to. this particular week. but just got interesting thing about everything that we're talking about today as well. vice president harris is going to head to philadelphia tomorrow. what a resident trump is not going to be in a swing state tomorrow? instead, he's going to be in new york city having that massive rally. certainly this campaign hopes to massive rally at madison square garden in new york city tomorrow evening jessica. >> all right. danny freeman for us on the trail in state college, pennsylvania. thank
4:10 pm
you so much for that report. earlier tonight, i had the chance to speak with legendary democratic strategist, james carville about his thoughts on the race and why he thinks democrats need to stop worrying. i want to play you some of that conference we're now just ten days out. and this week, you wrote an op-ed for the new york times giving your three reasons why you said you're certain that vice president kamala harris will win america. it will all be okay. you wrote every poll so far has shown this could go either way. our new cnn poll shows the two candidates locked in a tie at 47% in our latest polling average, no clear leader, james, why are you so confident? >> well i think i laid it out in a tiny space. we have more money with more information. we got a lot of things. one of the things that i didn't do because the spatial limitations that we're seeing yes. we have incredibly more surrogates. we have two former presidents. we have every kind of cultural in attainment athletic surrogate as you can piece got nothing
4:11 pm
rfk jr. okay. fine. police red rover, red rover shan rfk jr. right over and i am if anything, more bullish on her chances today than i was when i wrote that. and i think over the weekend, we're going to see some polling that's going to show her in a somewhat improved situation. and the way i see just thing closing its own very favorable terms to her and every piece of inflation up picked up today, both statistically an anecdotally, it seems to be pointing in one direction. and i think direction is she's going to win and i don't have to tell you. i know. i've seen the documentary, which by the way is great, and i've seen you work those songs. i know you're talking to everybody all the time, so i don't have to tell you that there is a lot there are a lot of democrats. and if you're in the beltway, if you're in that corridor, all you hear is they are really, really varies from anxious just to just throwing their hands
4:12 pm
up. you know, that they're very concerned she will not win one of their criticisms that you hear and you hear this from voters to, to be fair, is that she is not clear enough on her policy positions that they don't understand what she's trying to pitch to voters. do you agree with that and do you think that that will matter. >> that's the money question. thank you so much for asking it and democrats are a lot of money out here in los angeles and if you want to see some lane nervous panic, people come to the west south los angeles. i was in manhattan, go to the upper east side of manhattan nice people live petrified. i don't live like that and bought away with people said, well, you know, she's just not clear enough on a position, so let me say yes, donald trump is very clear he says, i am going to use the military to arrest my political polish. and then they dispatch lindsey graham goes on tv or mike johnson makes it a fool of themselves
4:13 pm
and says, oh no, that's not what he really means. then he comes back. it says no, i really mean it so understand exactly what is going on. he's going to have a rally tomorrow night at madison square garden that is going to mimic a nazi rally of 20 february 1939 and you know what the media is going to do. simple, he had a rally that mimic nazis and kamala harris was in tucson and had 12,000 people for route it's not the same thing and we've got surrogates coming out that are going to point this out and everybody always people are meet and airports like quit being so nervous, gotten. do your job unless windows things because we've got to win it. it's just that simple up very, very confident i would not have done that as you know, you watch a
4:14 pm
documentary, i'm not a particularly ad hoc person before i arrived at that decision, i talked to a lot of people are look, there are data four days after i wrote it, i'm more convinced than i was when i wrote it. >> what do you think is the bumper sticker message that harris closes with? we know that she's really highlighting the threat. obviously to democracy. she was on a heavy on the reproductive rights issue, especially last night with the onset in texas. what do you think? it's really going to connect and really motivate those people to vote for her it's the constitution stupid. we have lived done that its constitution since march of 17, 89. >> trump is telling you that he is going to dismantle the entire constitutional but in the united states, he is telling you that he has got to turn the government over to a packet theocrats, it is going to turn on policy over a pack 1 billion ash. you can see that
4:15 pm
evidence of this every day that you exist do i wish early on and we had a little stronger position about helping the middle-class, probably so. but here we go, we got nine days to go in the existence of the constitution in the system of government that we have had in treasured for so long in this country is at risk plain and simple and it needs to be covered that way. and i am highly critical of 80% of the media coverage that tells me that i do not understand their jobs i understand it clearly your job in birmingham was not to cover bull connor and martin luther king equally your job after pearl harbor was not to cover tojo and franklin roosevelt equally and we have to understand that our existence as a constitutional republic is at severe risk here. and we have to explain it to people in plain an ambiguous every day language that our
4:16 pm
enng to accept the consequences of our negligence and our take fair coverage that people come out. what so that's what i think we should do between now and election day. >> and our thanks to james carville for that conversation. the cnn film carville winning is everything stupid, airs tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. eastern here on cnn we're learning new details about israel's attack on iran, raising concerns that the two foes may be moving into even deeper conflict and accusations being raised about american involvement i have a report from tel aviv in the cnn newsroom political analysis. >> have questions i didn't set the right all stayed awake. why did trump pulled out of a 60 minutes? >> i love pulling out losing that word of i got news for you tonight at nine on cnn feeling from a backed-up god mere lax.

4:21 pm
jeremy diamond has more on the attacks will just go over the course of about four hours overnight dozens of israeli military aircraft carried out strikes inside of iran, including around the iranian capital of tehran, were told that these targets were purely military targets know, oil or nuclear infrastructure targets were hit in the strikes, something that the israeli government had previously considered. >> instead, we're told that
4:22 pm
this was missile manufacturing facilities, as well as air defense systems. one israeli official telling me that multiple s3 hundred air defense batteries that we're located in strategic locations inside of iran were struck by the israeli military. and this official believes that this will directly translate into giving the israeli air force more ability to maneuver over iranian skies should the israeli government choose to conduct additional strikes inside of iran for now? now, there's no indication that they will, unless iran chooses to retaliate. in particularly if iran chooses to retaliate in an escalatory manner for now though the iranian government appears inclined to downplay the severity of these strikes carried out by israel, suggesting that the damage was minimal, even as they acknowledged that for iranian military personnel were killed in these overnight strikes. and the israeli government is also working hard. it seems to try and avoid drones i've think
4:23 pm
iran to feel the need to retaliate further israeli government ministers and spokespeople have been directed not to speak about the details of these strikes very little limited information has actually emerged about the exact nature of the targets and also about the amount of damage that is inflicted. and that's because these strikes so i'm told by a source familiar with the israeli government's thinking, were intended to show that the israeli intelligence and military was capable of striking targets deep inside of ron but at the same time, limiting the amount of boasting that is done in the aftermath, at least publicly by the israeli government. in order to give iran the kind of leeway to manage the fallout of this. now iran does face a decision because if they don't strike, they certainly risk of facing a perception of being weak if they do though, they of course face the risk of escalating the situation further and perhaps, perhaps drawing israel directly

4:29 pm
raising national security concerns become a huge player on the trump campaign trail now reported to have had concerning interactions with one of america's biggest adversaries, elon musk, according to the wall street journal has been in regular contact with russian president vladimir putin since late 2022. >> a report drawing unease from the head of nasa i think it should be investigated if the story is true, then i think that would be concerning yeah. >> up particularly for nasa, for for the department of defense, for some of the intelligence agencies that's because musk, as the head of space x, has a security clearance that gives him access to some classified information. space sacks is a huge defense contractor to the u.s. government. there sending astronauts to the international space station for nasa. they're sending up supply shock absolutely international space station. they're sending into orbits highly classified us
4:30 pm
intelligence satellites for the national reconnaissance office. >> the journal cites a person who is aware of the conversations as saying no alerts have been raised by the biden administration over possible security breaches by musk, but the journal also reports that several white house officials said they weren't aware of the conversations. the journal says in those talks, musk and putin discussed geopolitical tensions, personal topics, and business through nato earlier this year, musk, social media platform x carried tucker carlson's interview with the russian president in which putin called musk a smart person. >> no. musk, i think there's no stopping elon musk he will do as he sees fit. >> the journal report, also raising alarms because of russia's alleged attempts to meddle in america's elections because of donald trump's open admiration of putin putin, and all group kim jong un the tough guys out there that tough and they're smart and they street wives and that they're the top of their game and concerns that the russian leader has tried to
4:31 pm
manipulate trump. what does elon musk really doing? does he have the best interests of the united states? in, his mind or is he serving as a conduit for vladimir putin to donald trump in a way that doesn't have to be so public separately, journalist bob woodward has reported that trump has spoken with putin several times since leaving the white house, which trump has denied. this report comes as elon musk has emerged as one of the most influential players in this election. >> and i love elon by the way, in recent weeks, musk has repeatedly stumped for donald trump in battleground states and has donated nearly $120 million to help trump get elected. we've never seen a media baron in this age of social media as somebody who owns one of the most influential social media platform becomes so involved with one person vladimir putin, spokesman dmitry peskov has called the wall street journal report, quote, absolutely false. >> peskov says musk and putin have had only one interaction that it was before 2022, that
4:32 pm
it was only on the phone and that they only discussed technology peskov has also denied reports that trump and putin speak regularly elon musk has not commented on the wall street journal report, but has called previous criticism that he's an apologist for putin absurd. jessica alright, our thanks to brian todd for that reporting and joining us now is former us ambassador to ukraine, william taylor ambassador. thank you so much for your time tonight. it's nice to have you thank, you jessica is going to be here. >> i just want to ask you first what you would worry about in terms of these national security implications of musk talking thank to putin regularly jessica, we have one foreign policy at a time and you have to worry that there is the worry that if he if musk is talking to putin about these issues we know that he's got a security clearance as you just reported he's got access to a lot of classified information. >> and if he's having
4:33 pm
conversations with the enemy, let's be clear, library putin is the enemy. >> at this point, he is, he's a war criminal and he's attacking ukraine, but he's, he's the adversary as you've indicated. and if musk is having conversations with the enemy talking about classified information, which is a possibility that's a problem that, the wall street journal also reported, quote that at one point putin asked the billionaire to avoid active rating his starlink satellite internet service over taiwan as a favor to chinese leader. >> she's in jinping we know that there are lines to be drawn from russia china, iran, north korea all four of them, not you know, obviously american adversaries in many ways what do you make of musk trying to potentially cozy up to that whole group
4:34 pm
>> exactly right? again, our foreign policy is to support ukraine. our foreign policy support taiwan, and if putin can ask musk to adjust or denied starlink for the ukrainians over crimea or starlink in taiwan making it difficult for them to communicate. that's a problem that goes against our foreign policy and in order to have a echo erin strong effective foreign policy, it has to be unified and it can't have these players playing on their own, right? >> as you said, there's one foreign policy at a time. i do want to ask you to speaking of ukraine, the ukrainian military says north korean troops have been seen in russia near the front lines. there a poised to join russia's war. it's kind of incredible. what do you, what do you make of that development
4:35 pm
north grand of course have been providing the russians with ammunition for a long time. >> we've known this, we've seen that millions of shells of artillery which the russians are using every day against the ukrainians that's going on. but this is a new, new development that is putting troops for the north koreans have send troops i would imagine this is giving the, this would be the opportunity for president biden to take some counter steps for example, he could certainly, i know he's thinking about allowing the ukrainians to fire deeper into russia at military targets. this would be a good opportunity for him to make that decision or to invite ukraine into nato. this is a good opportunity with the north koreans now, changing, changing the game upping the game escalating the game is a good opportunity to show more support for ukraine ambassador william taylor as always, thank you. thank you jessica. >> we'll be right back
