for certain anderson cooper 360 weeknight today on cnn now on cnn this morning the day i take the oath of office, the migrants bayesian of our country is full house mega packs, madison square garden for a rally that was full of racist and vulgar remarks. >> plus this rico swift backlash, a trump

rally speaker risks alienating a key group of voters. and this we are here because we are fighting for democracy eight days to go. >> voters are weighing in now about what they think will happen after all the votes are counted in later did he say that he wants to use the military against those people clarify his running mate's comments about the enemy within east coast. a live look at new york city. that's where donald trump had a homecoming of sorts during a six-hour long rally last night at madison square garden. apparently fulfilling a lifelong dream for him. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. it is the last full week of campaigning before

election day, and the choice that americans facing could have hardly been on sharper display than it was last night at donald trump's rally at madison square garden the new york times called it quote, a release of rage, a vivid and at times racist display of the dark energy, animating the maga movement she is the devil, whoever screamed that out she is the anti-christ. >> the whole body a punch it degenerates low lives to haters and low lives every one of them. >> she's a pretender. her and her pimp handlers will destroy our country >> that was billionaire elon musk screaming we didn't even show you if tucker carlson calling kamala harris low iq, among other insults? >> but out of all that, it was this joke, joke that really stood out i don't know if you

guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. >> yeah. >> i think it's called puerto rico a floating island of garbage. it's about 3.2 million people that he's talking about there who live in puerto rico. there are over 1 million puerto ricans who live in new york where this rally was held and perhaps most relevant to this presidential campaign. there were about half-a-million puerto rican to live in pennsylvania they are american citizens. they vote perhaps that's why the trump campaign did something that they almost never do. they quickly disavowed a statement that was widely perceived as offensive, quote, this joke does not reflect the views of president trump or the campaign. and quote, a spokeswoman told cnn the florida senator rick scott a republican running for reelection, wrote this on x quote, this joke bombed for a reason, it's not funny and not true. puerto ricans are amazing

people and amazing americans there are about 1.1 million of them in florida who could vote for or against scott famous puerto ricans, bad bunny, j.lo, ricky martin, millions of social media followers among them quickly posted pro-harris videos as harris herself, it campaigned at a puerto rican restaurant earlier in the day and here was her running mate, tim walz, with alexandra ocasio-cortez i mean, it's like super upsetting, obviously, it's super certain me at my family's from puerto rico, i'm breaking. >> i need people to understand that when when you have some a whole calling puerto rico, floating garbage know that that's what they think about you. >> there are hundreds of thousands of puerto rican across in battleground states that need to send them a message on this. >> i want them to like it it's worth noting that while we showed you that joke about the

pile of garbage that that comedian made, he also said something else about latino voters that i can't play because i know a lot of you are probably the breakfast table with their little kids and if we played it, you'd have to shut us off because it was so incredibly crude that we're just it's a family program and we're just not going they do it. >> joining us now to talk about all of this, david frum staff writer at the atlantic, meghan hays, former director of message planning at the biden white house, and matt gorman, former senior adviser to tim scott's presidential campaign. welcome to all of you. thank you for being here so obviously the comment at this comedian made about puerto rico go is something that matt, we don't see the trump campaign back backpedal very often. know what they are backpedaling from this, i should note that i absolutely and i think that would glad they didn't you saw a lot of republicans do negates pacito, who's a congressman from around that area, right outside of long island, westchester, do the same thing. who's puerto rican to it? i think broadly this is why comedians and politics do not mix. it's not the same incentive structure. like i've

seen this show many times years and this is why you'd be so careful with this sort of thing. comedians want last, politicians want votes. that's not usually in alignment and a lot of respects. >> and you saw why in this sort but if thing, and, you know, if you're trump's campaign, it unfortunately overshadowed a lot of this for them as they go into this last week there was a problem for the comfort because this joke of rage, contempt, and hate, terribly distracted from the campaign's message of rage contempt, and how now that this is, this is, this is the message this has always been the message. >> rage, contempt, hate, police, women expel people are different from you. be angry at the world denounce criminals from the mouth of a convicted criminal himself. that's the message. there's not some other trump campaign that is about accelerated depreciation rates are about accelerating an economic growth. there economic ideas are more moronic and anti-social. their immigration

message is completely trips over its own feet. this is what they are. and so i think this rally was a true public service show. america, what is the choice that's yet what you saw there was not a distraction. it was the truth i mean, i will say when i watched when i watched the pieces of his rally last night and again, coming in this morning. i mean there's a reason i wrote the top. this choice could not be more stark. >> honestly. i mean, you could see it and david is correct that this is what the trump team has not distancing itself from all the other things that were said at the rally because they believe it. >> but also it's working right, like 47, 48% of the people are voting for donald trump. they are neck and neck in the polls, so clearly their message is working i'm hopeful that comments like this about puerto rico will change people's mind in that are puerto rican in some of these battleground states will start to realize maybe this isn't who they want to vote for if that's where they were going to go, or it will get people to stay home. but clearly there is a message that is working and resonated and he has

capitalized on that, which is really, really uncomfortable. and i think disconcerting for most american can i ask you one thing that has been standing out to me about, you know, brock obama, former president pharma has been out on the campaign trail. and we highlighted this on the show on friday. he he keeps saying, i don't understand how people could think the people want change. i don't understand how they could think that donald trump could be the change that could help them. that's sort of hit my years like we've had a lot of years of this in you're right, there are a lot of people to whom that this appeals. i mean, what is it that democrats are not understanding? >> we are living in two different realities here. and i think that people are getting their news from certain sources and certain, and that they live in that reality. and then other people live in a different reality. and i think that there was a quote in the new york times where someone with thing, we can't even help people in our own country. why would we help immigrants? and it's like donald trump's not going to help those people either. like, what are you, what are the disconnect here? and i'm an i don't understand what people's like discontent with the process is i put very simply online late last night, it was it was a video and

television as he put it, i think a lot of democrats wrongly assume that trump voters are like trump in attitude and that sort of thing. >> that's not the case and i think that is where they kind of get a little bit kind of twisted, a little bit david, is it true that if that republicans had nominated someone other than donald trump, they would just be running away with this election donald trump? >> in his two outings, he's risen performer twice, got less of the vote than al gore less than john kerry, lessen the vote than mitt romney wants than hillary clinton, donald trump is the biggest consistent loser of 20 presidential politics in the 21st century. >> so, yeah, people, americans reject this and i think you're absolutely right about trump voters. there was a story that went round last week about donald trump lending his plane to fly nelson mandela to the united states. the story is completely fictitious. in fact, trump's heir, he owned an airplane company at the time. it was on the verge of bankruptcy. they needed money from anyone they can get and they chartered flights inside the united states states to

melton mound dose group at the market rate, they did no good deed. so why did that start story circulate? because i think it's upsetting to a lot of trump voters to face who this guy that he has never done a good deed in his life. he's never done a charitable act in his life. he's a monster in every way that people aren't comfortable doing that. now there's some like it. there are some who enjoy the cruelty and the brutality, but what was on display at the garden. >> but i think you're absolutely right, but most present every trump voter, most just deceit themselves are willing to be deceived and believe in a patent untrue is like he gave a flame for free to nelson mandela, which he did not do because otherwise, if he's really what he is, and you vote for him then who are you? >> there's also people who are voting for him or voting republican because they believe in conservative republican ideas and that they are holding on and i hope that their taxes will be lower and it's better for them financially. and i think that's where alaves cheney is helping people make the crossed over to vote for democrats and not everyone is hateful speech like this. i definitely agree with you, but there are people who are voting for him that disassociate with

donald trump, but i agree with republican values and that's why they're voting for him. >> except he's rejected all that i've been involved in republican politics since the 1980 campaign. what, what did we believe in impartial free markets, free trade, standing up for allies to find dictators. point on every point, donald trump has reversed. but 40 years of republican distance for donald trump and ronald reagan is the same distance in time 40 years as distance from the segregation has democratic party of the 1920s to the civil rights party. the 1960s. and this is as big a reversal. everything you believed that if you came into republican politics in the 1980s, has been thrown out the window, you owe this party not a lot of that reaction to the bush years. and i say this is a bush fan, right? i think you saw is the folks like jd vance espouse is too is the fact that they didn't view the free trade is helping them. the fact that they and you had the iraq war, a lot of a lot of this is a reaction to those years, which is sort of like total 1e80 is

in total reaction to those years that they also believe more in republican economic values because they think that the democrats are, have gone too far. >> absolutely. >> yeah. so that that is why we are here because you have this group of people who are hateful and all the things that identify with trump. >> and then you just have conservative republicans. and again, that is why so important for the democrats to continue to have liz cheney and other republicans out there who will give them a permission structure to say, we know you don't agree, but we know you don't agree with this. and when you want the rule of law and that's why look, future forward is screaming from the top of their lungs that kamala harris surpassing, stopped talking with its fat stuff contrast economic plan because a fascist up is not working and that's why you see a lot of this like it is. there couldn't be more clear all right almost we got one more monday before election day and this is where our conversation, as we've got a big choice ahead of us coming up on cnn this morning. >> what happens after the election? voters weigh in about how they think things will pan

out depending on who wins. plus trump claims to have a secret to winning the white house what might that be? will talk about it with democratic congressman dan goldman and what former national security leaders think the next president needs to do? to bring back the military is tradition of political neutrality there's got to that was defeated it all comes down to this. >> we can now make a major projection the way only cnn can bring it to you election night in america, special coverage begins tuesday, november 5. >> it for ever worry that you're drinking too much. >> take back control with or health or health provides access to medication proven to help. a daily pill to drink less or to quit drinking altogether? qualify for

that there is a peaceful transfer of power after the election. we're going to have to see what happens we all saw what happened after that was anything but peaceful. >> and if donald trump loses the election next week, many americans say they fear history could repeat itself. here's this new poll out this morning. cnn poll of registered for voters, nearly seven in ten, believe that donald trump will not accept the election results if he's defeated again 73% say vice president kamala harris will accept a loss the former president has been sowing doubt about the upcoming election for months now, including these comments, just last week in an

interview with fox news radio out of the seven battleground states. what worries you the most cheating which one though, which state know all of them? i mean, they cheat. all of them all of them, david i look, i will say if my sources are to be believed and this is again, this is the challenge that i have because in 2016, all my sources thought the same thing and in the last midterm election, most of my sources were on the same page and everyone was wrong all at the same time. >> so i will just say but all of these people right now are saying that trump may be on track to win this and perhaps this question will be moot, but it is moot because people do think if that's the case, kamala harris will accept the results of the election, but it's, i mean i think it's worth stopping to note that we are at a point where we need to ask people this question. >> well, all these newspapers did their endorsements. everyone understands that if combs kamala harris wins, she will not retaliate against

media that endorsed donald trump and abdominal trump is elected. he will retaliate everyone understands that everyone it sounds like if there if there is a transition away from biden and harris, it will be peaceful and when there was a transition away from trump, it was violent. but there's one more thing that needs really to be stressed. i used to do don't do it anymore. tv on inauguration morning's and there's three hours of tv to fill and there's nothing to say and it's often blinken called on and on and on but as america's ancient tradition of the peaceful transition of power, so that pete tradition of peaceful track is now zero 0-years-old. in 2019 moldova and the democratic republic of the congo, he had peaceful transitions of power, their traditions, the moldovan tradition of peaceful transfer of power is longer than the american tradition, the democratic republic of the congo is tradition the peaceful transition, because tom, that clock reset to zero because of donald trump in his violent transition of power in 2021. >> i mean, matt, do you have any thought that if trump if

the if the numbers, the votes are counted and it says that harris, one that donald trump will concede. >> i certainly hope so. i will. i don't know. i certainly hope so. i think that is going to be interesting to see i am so curious to see over the course of not just where we are in election night, but election week records it wasn't a calling on the saturday night after, write what those days are like. because as we saw we saw the first inklings of about like some sort of that immediately after election day around midnight, 1:00 on election night and what that looks like and also how it's handled right now because it was he was very knew back then. but again, his off theory. we will see what happens. >> what we know. donald trump told us, and you're going to do a segment on this. donald trump at that rally, made a reference to, i've got a secret weapon in congress so when he's hoping to do in 2024, as he hoped to do in 2020, it's disrupt the election enough that you can throw the election to the house of representatives where he's hoping that republicans will over the will of the american people, deliver a vote to him the way it was done in the 18th century. that's his backup plan and he's hinting at it. and the question is, will republicans in the house go along? with this scheme to

overturn an election in the house of representatives. >> haven't they also filed hundreds of lawsuits like there's already things being done to in preparation for this and we're still waiting for him to concede for the 20 election, right? he's walking around. one that election looms the popular vote for the third consecutive time. >> i don't know about that now plotting, well, say he his plot his plot is to use fermions and file litigation and potentially violence and potential the scheme of the house of representatives to defeat the vote of the american people that harris, harry out and says this and nbc news he is in a better place right now to win the popular vote than he has ever been. >> and so i would not go that far yet again, this is you are saying i am hearing from all sides of the aisle, donald trump is in this better position that he's been saying up for ten days? we were talking with him for a no, we don't there's nothing new, so we're just trying to you're trying to discern the best.

>> all right. >> well, straight ahead here on cnn this morning, politics and pigskin, why you're seeing more kamala harris and donald trump this week, if you were an eagles or a steelers fan plus vice presidential hopeful jd vance is trying to clarify trump's enemy within remarks donald trump never said americans writ large keep on putting words in his mouth. >> and are they are they not americans far left, people who commit acts of violence, who ride an hour. you're in doing a very narrow definition of what you said, which is not what he said. eastern this is a story about the one, the one who keeps it all moving. >> he is measured precise he thinks ahead stocks the right parts and nose just where to find them because for the one this facility is about more than business. >> the industrial greg products

problem are the people from within. we have some very bad people. we have some sick people, radical left lunatics. and i think there it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by national guard or if really necessary by the military because they can't let that happen trump has referred to democratic members of congress, nancy pelosi and adam schiff as the enemy within our jake tapper asked trump's running mate jd vance about those comments. i'm sure it's all about donald trump. and what he said. yes and no but said, you'd much rather talk about what donald trump allegedly said. >> publicly did in on what he said office jail, but he says publicly 1.5% and then we'll let terry to go after the enemy within is the american people. he did not say that jake enemy. he said that he was going to send the military after the american people show me the quote where he said he was going to, he said the enemy

within far left lunatics, he is lying about the rioting and he's talking about people rioting after the election okay. >> so just to underscore what jake was doing there, let's just watch again. again, the comment that we played earlier in the script to take a look i think the bigger problem are the people from within. we have some very bad people. we have some sick people, radical left lunatics and i think they are it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by national guard or if really necessary by the military because they can't let that happen on a social media platform. >> donald trump has called for military tribunals and execution of former congresswoman liz cheney and former general mark milley, that you don't have to pull that one proof quote. there hundreds and their background quotes where he would routinely talked to his attorney general bill barr, but arresting and execute and critics. so it's not you have that's one

example. there's so many that's donald trumps fantasy of what he would like to do with the presidency now there are many institutional constraints on the president actually sending out the military to round up and kill people, criticized them, and probably the military would regarded as an, as an illegal order and probably not do it. but it's interesting directionally, how does donald trump's mind work? what does he think the president is? here's the thing that i if you go to the poorest town in the united states and go to the mena street and find the most desperate hobo. and you're president of the united states, that person is your boss, but donald trump thinks that he is the ruler and these institutions answer to him and he should be allowed to, if you would like, to be able to arrest, kill and expelled from the country, anyone who criticizes him and jd vance as problem when he has to deal with this, is vance's is an untruthful person, but he's an untruthful person who unlike donald trump, is bounded by reality. he can't you can't actually show them a clip and he can say in a straight face, well, that clip didn't exist the clip is there and he has to acknowledge and deal with it in

a way. so he's trapped donald trump would simply deny it, but dozens of people in his innermost circle have reported that he wants to kill his opponents and wants to use the military to do it. the question will be, will the military bay? >> i think a couple of things i think the trump campaign up until this comment had done a good job of kind of trying to starve the oxygen out of the harris campaign, right? that's why they didn't do six months. they didn't want a comparison i'm trump and congressman the democrats could latch on to and use. that's why they let her have all the airtime. this was one of the rare exceptions where they did give them grist, i think the objective over the last i would say 40 days and certainly over these last eight is still trying not give them any more that can be. now, i agree that the he said before the future for has been saying, look, this stuff doesn't work when it actually comes to moving voters, but when it comes to actually being the topic over the last week, they're trying hard to not give them grist to keep that. >> yeah. >> well, i mean, it does seem clear that the while i take your point about the harris team thinking, hey, we got to

focus on other things. clearly the trump people also know that this is problematic. >> there's an opportunity cost here because this just goes to our whole wonder. >> we've been talking about for weeks. this is our people but once you stay home, or are they going to stay home, are they going to not vote? are they going to get out and vote? and i think that that's where we're at here, right? like are republicans going to stay home rather than go vote for donald trump? and i think the morning you show these kinds of things, these conservative republicans that have values are going to stay home. they just cannot see this being the future of our country. i mean, this is horrible and dislikable the people who are sort of the more or less cogent trump people say this, this talk of using the military to execute our opponents it's a distraction from our central message of building a vast national network of detention camps for the people we round up without due process and expelled from the country without trial. >> so they actually, there's a kind of convergence here that the people who would build a vast national network though concentration camps, probably also tried to use the military against them critics. >> all right, we're going to take a break here, coming up on cnn this morning after general john kelly's comments, we're going to hear from a group of former national security

officials. about their views of the military and politics texts, which as you can see, are quite sharp and closing the gender gap we're going to talk about why that's a challenge for both candidates with friend of the show, mark mckinnon, he joins us because it's monday with more reporters on the ground. >> and the best political team in the business, follow the candidates, foot follow the facts, follow. cnn or car's value went up. maybe we should track all our cars value on karwan, all of them, all of them. we need more tracker has tracked the veil yeah. i'm getting a value. i'm taking you see which one is going on, has a tracking good, got some tips rises. now what hold did we get a little

you know, surrounds us there are some things that are more important than politics there's some things more important than an election our constitution matters our way of life matters. and these generals, admirals assistant secretaries, they ran the army there and the navy. >> they ran an intelligence for america. these are incredibly decorated group of people who are communicating one key principle keep partisan politics out of national security and foreign policy that there's somethings where we have to do it together and they're concerned about the politization of all aspects of life but more than anything else, the civil service, the people who are supposed to be non-partisan, not by partisan, but nonpartisan. and whether that could, in some ways creep into the military and creep into foreign policy. there

alarmed and i'm alarmed when they are alarmed did they say that they were more alarmed about the prospect of donald trump getting elected and doing this or kamala harris or both? well, let me be clear. >> they would not even like this interview because trying to use politics are partisan ship to beat on someone when you're discussing what should happen in ukraine, what should happen the middle east, which should happen when china we're going to disagree, is their argument. >> and we're going to have very sharp disagreements. but once decisions are made, we need to go forward together. and then we don't want people in these positions of authority in national security that prioritize partisan gain over woods. good and great about america sure. >> i mean, absolutely. fair enough do they have any concerns about the way that

it's been reported that donald trump talked about what the military should be for him as the president well. >> they have, concerns of any politician tries to use the military for political gain and remind viewers something that i've learned over the last few years. the military is not there to defend just the country or president. it's there for the constitution. and that's true. they swear an oath to and the people watching this should, should sleep better at night, knowing that the military understands this. and that is the hope of everyone that the politicians not only recognize it by respected in the end, it's the constitution that matters most and these seven experts was such a joy to moderate this focus will pick because these people prioritize the constitution over everything else. >> yeah, and of course, it was reported that one of the things that apparently donald trump was surprised by was that the generals did not in fact swear an oath to him or to the president, but to this piece of

that decision, it might be well, if you would ask yourself, are you better off than you were four years ago? closing arguments, donald trump, echoing that famous sentiment from ronald reagan back in 1980 i'd like to begin by asking a very simple question. >> are you better off now than you were four years ago? >> our country will be bigger, better boulder richard safer. >> and stronger than ever before but of course, what's come to define this campaign are the respective gender gaps harris launching new ads over the weekend in battleground states targeting men in milwaukee, philadelphia, and pittsburgh. a new poll by cbs news shows trump is up by nearly ten points among male voters. that support on full

display at a rally at the university of georgia last week, according to our next guest, mark mckinnon, writing for vanity fair, quote, if donald trump wins the presidency again, a big part of the coalition and the store henri will likely be the support he attracted or failed to attract among gen z voters, especially young men and mark mckinnon joins us now, marc. thank you so much for being here. always great to see you. i love spending monday's talking to you about where things stand last week, of course, you're writing that you thought or you're telling us that you thought harris was going to win? and you of course. were down in georgia with some of these young men with charlie kirk, who's become a figure for a lot of them. what did you learn and where >> well yes. >> first of all, i'm i'm bullish on harris just because i think there is a huge gender gap and when vote, when elections are this close, the key question is whose voters are more enthusiastic? and this is the first post-dobbs election. >> and women have hillary

clinton ptsd from 2016 they're on fire, and i think polls are capturing that adequately because they model everything on what happened in 2020. >> but i got really sobered up when i went to athens, georgia because i think we have a notion that campuses are hotbeds of liberals and their bts huge groups of people across the board voting for harris. well, i went to but charlie kirk rally. charlie kirk is the tip of the spear for conservative young voters, for trump. >> and it was an absolute see of mostly young men, but also young went about 60-40 and just packed an applause. >> i couldn't even move through it red hats on every one of them. and so there is something also going on with young men that is substantial and kasie, when you think about it in 2021, in ten voters, was gen z this election, it will be one and six up to 40 million voters. so if donald trump wins, i think he could turn a right to charlie kirk let's say thank you very much, charlie is all this what do you think we

saw on stage at the garden last night that happened at the garden, first of all you showed donald trump's clip. that's not swift getting a lot of the news. >> he's finally getting the right message and he is on message even if his surrogates aren't. and the key question is, how much what showed up in actual daily newspapers and swing states. and i'm told that those puerto rican common ones didn't really show up. if trump's message is breaking through, that's obviously the right message and the good news is of puerto rico doesn't have any electoral votes where do we go? lot of puerto ricans in pennsylvania, in particular and i will say, i think that the community takes quite a bit of pride in their heritage i'm sure, you know, when you when you talk to puerto ricans, it comes to a real fast. so i am interested to see if, it, if it starts to kind of ripple through social media. but mark, can i just ask you, you mentioned that you think that there might be something that

polls are not picking up here and we are hearing from democrats saying the same thing. we played alyssa slotkin earlier on in the show, saying and she thinks there is this kind of secret vote among women. do you i mean, can you say a little bit more about that? do you buy that? because i feel like there are some really smart people who believe it and others who say it's not the case well i'm just a shower media guy with an opinion, but i will say he campaigns for years when i have and i get a gut feeling for these things at the end of thing. >> and meghan kelly show in 2016 at this exact point, i said i had a feeling trump had momentum, so i don't know it's just my spidey sense for one thing but in 2016, we talked a lot about the shy trump voters that were afraid to tell pollsters that they were for trump. i think there's just the opposite. now, i think particularly with republican suburban women, just because of the community that surrounds them, they're afraid to say that they're not for trump. and i think this is but typically, nikki haley voter, but i think there are just

women across the board. but suburban republican women that are quietly going to go vote for harris. and i don't think that's being picked up in the polls, and i just think at the end of this race, the big story this election. if harris wins big if obviously, but it'd be because women and crawl over broken glass to break the glass ceiling for sure. >> all right. mark mckinnon for us this morning. mark, always grateful for you. thank you so much. >> nice guys to kick it all right. >> let's turn back now to donald trump's rally at madison square garden last night. >> watch there's a lot going on. like i don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. yeah i think it's called puerto rico okay. >> all right. okay. >> we're getting there who is that? >> jackwad. people in puerto rico are citizens. they pay taxes and they serve in the military at almost a higher rate than anybody else. there are hundreds of thousands of puerto rican across in battleground states that need to send them a message on this

all right, vice presidential candidate tim walz, reacting live to comedian tony hinchcliffe, opening speech at that trump rally, which quickly drew bipartisan condemnation for calling puerto rico. >> a floating island of garbage and quote, florida's republican senator rick scott wrote, quote, this joke bombed for a reason. it's not funny and it's not true hinchcliffe remarks, not the only speech that took a dark turn as several of trump's allies attacked his opponent kamala harris kamala harris, she's just she got 85 million votes because she's just so impressive. >> as the, first samoan malaysian low iq former california prosecutor ever to be elected president. >> here's the anti-christ when i hear kamala speak script from hollywood with a really, really bad actress

turning now to talk more new york democratic congressman dan goldman a congressman, good morning. wonderful to have you on the show but let me just start with your reaction to what you saw last night. >> you know, let's first make it very clear that this entire rally was donald trump's rally. everything was vetted through donald trump and his campaign. all of these speeches were up on a teleprompter. they had been edited and so what has come out of that rally is nothing that donald trump has to say other than repeating his threats to that democrats or the enemy within our country. but it's vigor, a vitriol vulgarity, and racism. and i represent a huge puerto rican community here in new new york city and i expect and have heard from many who are horrified that this political rally would platforms such

disgusting disgusting racism and attacking puerto rico's a puerto ricans attacking with it both islamophobia and anti-semitic jokes. stephen miller essentially quoting adolf hitler, saying that america's for americans and americans only this is who donald trump in the maga world is, no matter what. lipstick on a pig, donald trump tries to put on it in the last week, we saw yesterday at madison square garden. exactly who they are. and it was horrifying congressman all that all that said. >> and i certainly understand where you're coming from on this. >> if all that's the case, why are so many people saying that here in these final days that donald trump is potentially on track to win the election and certainly poll show about half the country supports him. >> what's going on well, let people vote for many, many different reasons and that's

what makes this country great. >> and i think what we're seeing now in the last week is a very dark and foreboding view of the united states from donald trump. and a very positive view of america from kamala harris, who makes it very clear. in fact, almost at the same time that this rally was going on that she will be a president for all americans, wealthy, poor white nonwhite, whoever it is, she is going to represent all americans and tried to lift up the lives of all americans. and that is what her policies are about. that is what her approach is about that as her career has been about, and donald trump and his maga world, including new york republicans, house republicans, and that's a big part of the reason why he was here is they are wrapping themselves around this really this fear, this division, this hate insulting america, calling america a

garbage can saying that puerto rico is a garbage can it's really it's, it's almost juvenile, it's beyond juvenile, and it's not the vision that kamala harris has. and i think that then this last week, people are going to be focused on what is the next four year is going to be like. and kamala harris is going to bring positivity opportunity to the american people congressman, do you think what was said on stage about puerto rico is going to make a difference? >> in the election in the presidential, but also some of those house races that you mentioned in new york i think absolutely. >> it's going to make a difference. you know donald trump hinted yesterday in his speech that he had some secret with speaker mike johnson now, you wonder why did donald trump come to new york nine days before the election? this is the state is going to go to kamala harris and the answer is

that the house really runs through new york. there are seven races that could go either way in the house, and that will likely determine the majority and make no mistake. the house we get sworn in on january 3. on january 6, the certification of the electoral college will happen again and we as we know from 2021, whoever is in control of the house of congress will be able to have a lot of say on what happens on january 6. and i suspect we don't know, but i suspect donald trump's little secret plan with mike johnson is a backup plan for when he loses and he tries to go to the house of representatives to throw out the electoral well college the certification from the states. and have the house of representatives under the leadership and the control and the gavel for mike johnson and

try to overturn this election. it was the exact reverse and january 6, 2021, you had mike pence, the vice president who was presiding over the joint session but you had nancy pelosi and chuck schumer who were presiding over congress if it's the reverse, the republicans have a lot more opportunity and a lot more possibilities for overturning this election. and that's what this was about yesterday that i built believe is what donald trump's secret with mike johnson was. and that's why he's here is because the house majority runs through new york. >> congressman we're up against 7:00. so it just yes or no answer. you're saying you believe that donald trump has a plan with mike johnson already to try to overturn the presidential election that he referenced very likely may relate to
