merge more on par, a high school music and performing arts. and it became laguardia. >> well, the cartoons are great and their character merlin explains all these ideas and answers people's questions. one of which you add someone asked about, it's impossible for there to be two full moons in february, but then there's leap year. so explain to me how squeeze him in because it's time between full moon, just 29.5 days. can't squeezing into february even when you even when you give it an extra day and with the help of the front part about the merlin character that takes the reader through is it's merlis, is quirky, and existed for all of time. so recalls conversations with famous characters like isaac newton is a conversation between him and isaac newton explains gravity. so it was, it was it was fun to just reinhabited that character from and so long ago hope everyone will get this new copy of it, especially because
5:01 pm
it is quite to all of you, anderson starts now from the former president's hapeville rally here in new york. >> new reporting on what one of the ugliest voices on stage almost called vice president harris in his prepared remarks. also tonight, new early voting numbers and the story that 43 million ballots and counting could be telling about where the racist headache and how far can rudy giuliani actually fall? will he lose his florida condo in addition to his new york apartment and phil lies, he spewed defaming two election workers good evening. thanks for joining us tonight. there is one more of the kind of normal campaign events you see a little more than a week out from the election day this is the harris rally in michigan, and we'll bring you any news that comes from it. the story of the moment, however, continues to be the former president's hate-filled event last night and madison square garden not normal in any conventional sense, the word, but not surprising either. certainly revealing of what the candidate wants voters to hear in the campaign's closing days. and let's face it, it's
5:02 pm
a preview of the kind of things will be hearing an awful lot of in the next four years if donald trump wins, i want to point out with just a single exception neither trump his running mate nor the campaign have disavowed any of what was said now, here's the exception with a warning that like so much of what we're playing tonight, its offensive you know, 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 that's a guy called tony hinchcliffe who calls himself a comedian last night, the trump campaign says that remarked quote, does not reflect the views of president trump or the campaign. >> but again, that's the only remark they've disavowed today in wisconsin running mate jd vance, by the way, would not even do that i haven't seen the joke. >> i you know, maybe maybe it's a stupid racist joke as you said, maybe it's not. >> i haven't seen it. i'm not going to comment on the specifics of the joke, but i
5:03 pm
think that we have to stop getting so offended at every little thing in the united states of america. i'm just i'm so over it so over there you go a little bit of both sides in touch of gas-lighting and a dollop of bs he's over it. so you know, lineup for instance, everyone, as for now, as for not having seen the remarks, wisconsin maybe cheese, but it is not the dark side of the moon. and then case he was actually at the garden to hear the remarks in case mr. vance maybe watching let's just play some of what else was viewed at this rally, none of which the campaign has had disavowed and yes, it to his offensive. this one is about latinos and if they're in the room, you might want to mute the sound making babies to just know that they do they do. >> there's no polling out they don't do that. >> they come inside just like they did to our country yeah. so that's puerto rico and latinos he also had thoughts about a black men who black guy
5:04 pm
with a thing on his head, what the hell is that a lamp shade. look at this guy. oh my goodness wow i'm just kidding. >> that's one of my buddies he had a halloween party last night. we had found we carved watermelons together, was awesome. >> he also want jewish people as tight with money. and of course, none of this should come as a surprise that campaign one campaign adviser told cnn they knew enough in advance about his intended remarks to at least veto a joke in which he called the vice president. vice president harris, these c-word, something of that elon musk actually doesn't. a new campaign i had which tries to make a joke out of it. however, that same adviser says the campaign was not given a draft which included some of the comedian's more decent jokes. and another advisers suggested that no one had reviewed his remarks in full. a lot of advisers seemingly had no idea about this, but it wasn't just say series of racist comments from a so-called stand up. there was this from a radio
5:05 pm
talk show host you got homeless and veterans, americans, americans sleeping on their own feces on a bench in central park but the you know, illegals, they get whatever they want, don't they well, there was also this from a businessman and internet personality invalidate. >> her. >> she's a fake of fraud. she's a pretender. her and her pimp handlers will destroy our country implication there. he is calling the vice president, united states and democratic candidate for president and prostitute as for the candidate that he is supporting, trump wasn't so spineless. he might have stood on the podium and criticize some of what his warm back at warm-up acts were spewing out. but of course he didn't. he called harris as he often does a low iq individual called massachusetts senator elizabeth warren, or racist slogans, native americans, repeated lies about hurricane
5:06 pm
relief such as this one which have led to threats against hurricane relief workers they haven't even responded in north carolina at haven't even respond that there's nobody they don't see any fema. you know why they spent their money on bringing in illegal migrants, so they didn't have money for georgia and north carolina and alabama and tennessee. and florida and south carolina. they didn't have any money for them. they spent all of their money on bringing in illegal immigrants and flying them in by beautiful jet planes by now for all the times, he has said that lai must sound almost like background noise marking the sixth anniversary of the mass shooting at pittsburgh's tree of life synagogue. >> first gentleman doug emhoff made a case for why he thinks it should not be he demeans immigrants with the same hateful slurs hurled at our ancestors. vermin animals, who poison the blood of our country
5:07 pm
he scapegoats jewish voters, right to our faces saying that if he loses it will be the fault of jews he looks at adolf hitler's generals and see something to admire just let that sink in. as the first gentleman earlier today, tonight, the harris campaign put out a new ad referring to the slogans puerto rico. here's part of it the middle of the ocean. >> i think it's called puerto rico, who had to recall i will never forget what donald trump did. >> he abandoned the island and offered nothing more than paper towels, and insults. puerto rican deserve better joining us now our team, have seen and political analysts and commentators, david axelrod and new york times astead herndon, republican strategist scott jennings and republican strategist and then navarro, who is a harris supporter these days david, i mean, it seems like the trump campaign is fine with this other than trying to disavow one comment about
5:08 pm
puerto rico. well, you know, a disavowal of any kind from the trump campaign is unusual. so i think it's some acknowledgement that this was, this did not go off the way they hoped it would go off the way glass. >> i mean, i don't know because to me it was like like this bizarro open mic night at some sort of hate-filled comedy club where a bunch of people just stood up and said the most tasteless things that they could say. >> and i don't i don't know why they think that might help their campaign. i really do think they're going where trump can draw a big crowds because he measures everything in terms of how big they are. crowds and ratings and so on and so that's why they're ending up in play. places that aren't necessarily battleground states. >> but i don't think this is a marginal race. >> anderson, anything can tip this race and something like this heading into the final week of the campaign is unhelpful to them. and i think unwise
5:09 pm
saying that people need to quote, stop, quote, getting offended at every little thing is this much ado about nothing jokes going around the internet about how jd vance had sex with a couch if he doesn't want to take offense at that that's his jurisdiction. >> i'm going to my community trash. i'm going to take offense at people making jokes about black people. i'm going to take offense at people calling the first woman who might be precedent, a prostitute. i'm going to take offense so vote i'd all of that jd vance is free to do whatever he wants, but listen, this idea that this doesn't reflect donald trump is simply false. let us just remember what donald trump has been saying for the last few days. he's been throwing around the term about how immigrants have turned america into the trash can of the
5:10 pm
world. that trash word came out of his trash mouth and let us remember that donald trump treated puerto rico like trash. let us remember the way he threw paper towels at needy people after hurricane maria the second class response to maria in comparison to the red states that have gotten hurricanes that same year. let's remember when it was reported that he talked about trading puerto rico or selling it off, trading and for greenland this should not come as a surprise. i've been saying it for years. donald trump is a racist. if you are voting for him, does that make you a racist? that's up to you, but it does mean you are okay with racism. and that is why this comedian said this because he knows it is okay with donald trump. and it is okay. with that crowd, which is why donald trump took the stage, the podium for 4.5 hours after the
5:11 pm
comedian had made those tasteless jokes. when it was already a five alarm fire, every major puerto rican star had come out and condemned it republicans in florida had come out and condemned it. but donald trump took that podium and was incapable of saying one word against those racist comments because he believes them. >> scott, i know you were critical earlier today, with the so-called comedian said, i want to play another clip of trump's rally. this is part of what tucker carlson said to warm up the crowd it's gonna be pretty hard what? 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 i worked in the bush-cheney white house or close ally, senator mitch mcconnell, i mean, none of them would come within 100 miles of this stuff. >> does it?
5:12 pm
>> and that make you sad that this is what a republican rally sounds like a week before the election i don't like it. i don't like it one bit. i'm not going to sit here and pretend like it's good or helpful. mean some of the things that were said by some of these people who had never heard of before maybe it works on a podcast, maybe it works on a radio show. but when you're trying to win an election and you're trying to put on a face for your party and for your presidential campaign it doesn't work at all. i mean, it's stupid, it's a distraction. i'm sure from what the trump campaign wanted to do and it's like if you look at their tv ads from sunday that they released, then you listen to what trump said at the rally it's clearly not on the same measured. they want to talk about the economy and immigration. not all this stupid stuff, but i'm also let me put my strategist hat on here for a second. i'm also not going to pretend that if you've lived for the last nine years with donald trump and live through everything, everything he said, everything he has done his presidency, the attacks and everything that's happened is a no-name comedian's comments or a radio host comments or even tucker carlson's comments going to change your opinion for better or worse? i doubt it. and
5:13 pm
finally, i would just say, if you're offended by this, and i totally think it's a perfectly fine to be offended by it because some of the things that were said were offensive. but if you are offended by this, people from the entertainment industry saying vile and offensive things in the context of politics. kamala harris certainly has entertainment industry supporters that have said violent offensive things. not all of them are at her rallies but if you look at some of the lyrics and other production that they've done, it is terrible, violent offenses. okay, we're all going to professionally we faint tonight. i would just say let's was introduced. the line i said, it's not all been done. it's not all been done at any of her events, right at danny were hurt most vicious some some of her people that are her most ardent supporters have said things about women and domestic violence and the treatment of women and other issues that are truly beyond the pale. so i do think when you're in the entertainment industry, you get edgy. and this is what you get when you put the metro political rally
5:14 pm
said, i want to play something that trump said at this rally. the united states is now an occupied country. i will launch the largest deportation program in american history, and i'm here by calling for the death penalty for any migrant that kills an american citizen or a law enforcement officer and when i say the enemy from within the other side goes crazy, becomes a salvo. how can you say now they've done very bad things to this country. they are indeed the enemy from within but this is who we're fighting you think i think the electoral wins is important here, but probably not sufficient to really get at the scope of what's happening. does this make does this, does the kind of hate field, bigoted rhetoric coming from donald trump make him invalidated or lose his support for next it's weak probably not altogether. do think like scott said, a lot of this has been baked in with
5:15 pm
trump, but that doesn't mean it's irrelevant. he is an unpopular presidential figure and the anti-trump coalition that democrats have rallied in 2020 and 2022 exist because he has made it a central plank of his rhetoric and platform to frankly target others as political opponent and does that even on issues that folks agree with him at the premise law, like immigration, the mass deportations, the language of vermin, the language of focus poisoning the blood of the country is not a, is not a happenstance rhetoric from trump. it's been core to his belief system and an ideology. and i would say that this 2024 races even more so than 2016 and 2020 what we think there's some of the most baffling strategic decisions they've made. i think even back to the selection of jd vance, a couple of months ago, that has been that has been tracked to the tucker carlsons to this kind of masculinity ecosystem. they're trying to raise an army of these type of folks. and we know that this is that the harris campaign has been using this. on the other side. that is a way to rally around their base to and i think the
5:16 pm
democratic side it's helped more so than this, than the republican david. >> i mean, it's certainly a reminder. people of what the next four years will be like. i mean, these these folks will be can be, you know, the white house telling jokes. >> i think it's easy to, because it is so repulsive to chase some of this rhetoric down. but the bigger question is, what does it portend? and i think harris has been smart to start raising this question that she started at your town hall. he's coming with an enemies list. i'm coming with a to-do list. my to do list is going to be your concerns. he's going to be worried about himself and how he wreaks vengeance and all those he thinks have trespassed on him. and i really do think that's the choice that they should focus on. that's the choice the american people should focus your take a break next, the vice president barnstorming michigan today, her plans for the final week later, more breaking news, what jeff bezos is saying for the first time about the uproar after the paper he owns the washington post did not endorse a presidential candidate for the first time since 1976
5:17 pm
class president will be slogan wow, working on campaign posters have yet vote for madison because she's so cool and has the best snacks that are. so my experience as a political reporter, the best campaign slogans are short and memorable like this well, that's definitely memorable second thought to be the first ones in. thank you. >> serve pro proud supporter of our nation's first responders.
5:18 pm
>> when a tough call, you want to go, its surf woululd be sill trying to rob it that this sa-20s back with t power of robots hasn't, and everybody easy to take cough relief anywhere. schwann relief, chew on ana? no, but it doesn't. >> introducing new iraq's on gel. the first fda cleared ed treatment in available without a prescription. but rocks on jealous clinically proven to work within ten minutes. so you and your partner can experience the heights of intimacy new iraq's on ed treatment, gel. >> you could spend the rest of the night here. >> here will reaffirm your love of movies. >> you can spin. >> it reminds you why tom hanks is our greatest ally. >> now, wait, right there. a huge thumbs up experience here in theaters. >> thursday rated pg 13 what does a robot now about love it takes a human to translate that leap in our hearts into something we can see and hold etsy
5:19 pm
shingles doesn't care, but shingles temps only she likes his ruling over 90% effective. sheriff has a vaccine used to prevent shingles and adults 50 here's an older qing greeks doesn't protect everyone that isn't for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients ordeal previous dose, tell your health care provider and you're pregnant or breastfeeding increased risk of dionne by racing. rome was observed after getting shingles, painting can happen. so take precautions. most common side effects are pain redness since filing or injected muscle pain, tiredness, headache, shivering, fever, and upset stomach. ask your doctor about shin brics today? >> your best defense against erosion and cavities is strong enamel. nothing beats it. i recommend pro enamel active shields because it actively shields the enamel to defend against erosion and cavities. i san francisco is in crisis and we need real experienced leadership. we need mark farrell. our interim mayor who got things done. who showed we can clear tent encampments, fight crime, and address the drug crisis. who will make the tough choices for our city's future.

5:21 pm
the power of connection is waiting right outside your comfort zone learn how you can help strengthen your community. i belonging begins with us.org slash team collins tonight at nine in ann arbor, michigan is we showed at the top or campaign is out with a new ad in last night's trump show here in new york's hands even can joins us now with more. how else has the fallout from this madison? in square garden event impacted the harris campaign that the message here tonight from the vice president was leaning on michigan voters to vote early. >> she pledged to do all that she could if elected to pursue policies to bring down the cost of living there was another notable moment tonight when young people were protesting over gaza. that's not unusual. that is a regular occurrence of democratic events. but what struck me is what she said in
5:22 pm
response to them. she said, unlike the former president, i don't believe in the enemy from within. we are all here fighting for democracy and i understand your desire to be heard, but listen here in ann arbor, a heavily democratic county, she's trying to drive up the numbers in places like this one across the state. president biden won this county by over 50 points in 2020. she's trying to replicate that success even mckend, thanks so much back now with the panel, david, where do you where do you think the racist i honestly i just was reading a piece in your papers saying that the trump aides were quietly i mean, harris aides were quietly getting more optimistic. >> i think it's a dead even race. i think you know, you see these models analytic models that have trump ahead by a whisker, but that essentially is a tied race. and i think all of these battleground states are well within the margin of error. so i, you know, i think
5:23 pm
it's going to come down to who mobilizes their vote. it's going to come down to whether there are in fact real republican voters and white non-college women who are not saying that they're going to vote for harris, but are going to vote for harrison. it's going to be whether black voters and young voters and hispanic voters approximator come close to some of the numbers that biden produced in 2000. 2002 20 and those are all open questions right now, i said, you're just wearing georgia. yeah, what do you what do you see out there it feels like to david's point to 72, 68 race, something that's really close. i think i groups the identified are certainly the ones to look for from the shift to 2020 until now, can harris rally around are working class? multicultural base that did seem to sour on biden can trump kind of get out those lower propensity voters or make his losses in the suburbs lesser than they were in the midterms. and i think those are kind big open questions here,
5:24 pm
but which campaign would you rather be? would you rather be the campaign who's candidates tonight in atlanta, trump is clarifying, i am not a nazi, or would you rather? it'd be a campaign and harris that is landing their message knows their targeted voters and has actually feeling pretty good about it as the, as the waste gets closer and closer before the harris campaign, even back when it was the biden campaign, they believe that as election day got nearer, donald trump would re reremind america of his extremism. last night's rally, did that for them? and that is their plan of how they close the deal in this race is to regular recreate those type of coalitions we saw in the midterms based on donald trump's own in-kind donation on that front last night, they got that and other foreign person went after michelle obama during his rally in atlanta tonight. >> i just want to play this you know, it's nasty to me michelle obama
5:25 pm
and respectful she opened up a little bit of a little bit of a box. >> she opened up a little bit of subheading issue is nasty was a big mistake that you made the list. i mean, it's so interesting that just think there's no new tricks in with the guy has, i mean, the whole nasty thing is something he's just gone over again and again. any woman, particularly a black woman, is, it's a word he uses. it's like he's just playing to type well, what can i tell you? >> we all know he's got very few words to play with. but i think he brings home the point that barak obama has been talking about when he talks about trump. here he is this billionaire with all of these other and all he does is whine and complain, embed shimon, and he's the victim and the woe is me. but what a cdo you listen
5:26 pm
anderson, you know what you missed in the litany of things that you did in the beginning of the racist things that captain last night? they introduced byron donalds, the black congressman from florida as trump supporter, to the tune of dixie land, the unofficial anthem of the confederacy. you miss that one in your long list. i know that it's easy to miss with so many other things, but going on, listen, i think yesterday was manna from heaven yesterday was the october surprise because what it reminded people of what they had forgotten the chaos, the ugliness what donald trump does and emboldening and permitting racism and bigotry and division. and i think it does matter because character does matter tomorrow, you're going to see a huge contrast with kamala harris laying out her final comments scott, i mean, where do you think the races?
5:27 pm
well, i actually agree with david. i think it's exceedingly close you know, there's a lot of republicans that i talked to who seemed to take it as an article of faith that he's going to, meaning trump is going to overperform his polls just the way he did in 16 and 20. and he might, and you might be right, but you don't know that. and so i would just caution that it feels close to me. i also feel like like trump has had a pretty good october and he's tracked down this raising. harris was ahead at the beginning of the month and he's now effectively caught up. i do think there's a pretty good percentage chance that if it tips one way or the other, it may tip everywhere, not just in a state or two, but it may tip more broadly and finally, to me, the real october surprise is that kamala harris still cannot answer basic questions about where she wants to take the country. she's not gotten any better at this and she got into the race and she's having a real trouble closing her campaign on anything other than a purely negative message on trump. i think the mistake they're making is going the negative and not telling people what would you do as president? people know what trump would
5:28 pm
do. he was the president. i still think the deficiency in her campaign is that they don't really know what she would do as the commander in chief, david, i mean, do you think that yesterday yesterday attacking puerto ricans? can i just say that yesterday, while people were attacking puerto rican set the trump rally earlier in the morning, kamala harris had released an entire a puerto rico policy agenda putting out all the different items that she's going to do for puerto rico to help the people, apollo rico and bring some equity. so she is working hard on agenda and the interview talking about who's who are the ones making jokes and doing racism and division. >> look in the mirror, but i mean david, this idea that she has no plans, he has all these ads i mean, it's ludicrous. know, in fact, i think she's she's released a more voluminous program to deal with housing and the cost of elder care and a whole range of things that touch on people's
5:29 pm
lives and in fairness to scott's point or at least in fairness to her the trump campaign has not run a positive ad and this whole campaign since she got in the race, every single ad has been aimed at taking her down. >> i've said before that the challenge for her, she has to introduce herself and fend that off. but i think the frame is there, which is she's putting she is talking about things that touch people's lives will improve people's lives. and he is engaging in a thoroughly negative campaign is somewhat think the plans discussion is too small though for harris has big problem in this race. i think if democrats have a challenge, they have to overcome. it's that they are tied to the status quo and what feels like a change election shan you can put out policies to kind of project how you're different than that. but i think the biggest thing that is really weighing them down on that question was they spent two years defending joe biden and defending a status quo
5:30 pm
administration that has really unpopular. and so there are still playing catch up on the new way forward question. that is the, that is the litmus test that she laid now the question, those inner question at the end of the day for voters is, are they voting on change from biden's policies or change from trump's politics. and i think that's why this is such an extra, we gotta go astead herndon, david axelrod. thank you. scott jennings, ana navarro as well, coming out of getting out the latino vote in arizona, john king gives us a firsthand report on the door knocking efforts there by the harris campaign. part of his all over the map series. next managers. >> you need to hire indeed. indeed you do when you sponsor a job on indeed, it's easier for talented candidates to find it, which makes it easier for you to hire them visit indeed.com slash higher. sure. ms brynn prince, business cards. but we also print and those in grave that we print your brand on everything. so customers can notice do you remember you can fall in love

counting they encourage early voting where you're polling location is many of the targeted homes or latinos who are registered, but don't always vote what's the most common question you get at a door, knock about the vice president. >> the most common question we got to door-knock is why kamala? why come on and my answer to that is like she's not a felon one. she's a strong woman. and as a latino man, we like strong women and we don't like weak man audio rodriguez volunteers for lucha and also runs a community farm and food bank he is upbeat about harris, his chances here, it says encouraging younger voters to turn out is one big need in this final week, you do get the folks who are like kind of like feel hopeless, but then you got to bring them back in. >> you get folks who say like, voting doesn't matter. my vote doesn't matter. and tomorrow response to that is like whether you believe it matters or not, it's still exist. and so why not participate in it? put your vote saying they're your little $0.02 tucson is in

5:37 pm
economy as people are having a hard time putting food on their table and gas in their cars. >> and it's really affecting them. so i think that they now think about their vote and how it will affect their household john, how often does the economy come up when talking with voters in arizona about their top concerns and every conversation and us, not only here in arizona, but across the country. >> let me just show you have the mini magic with me. this is the 2020 election map, but let me bring up this graphic. it is stunning when you take a look at this is the cost of living and analysis this across the united states. if you look closely at the graph, the darker the shading in any county is where the cost of living, housing, food prices, other prices have outpaced wages over the last six years or so. you see all that dark in there. those are places where housing cost, energy costs, and more have outpaced what you're getting paid and your paychecks. so let's zoom in on arizona look how dark this status most of the counties filled in. more dark, including maricopa county where i am right now, more than six in ten

arizonans live here in maricopa county and look how punishing the cost of living had been. so that is the headwind facing vice president harris. turn on the tv here, turn on the radio here. she's running ads saying her plans as you were just discussing with the panel, would help with this. another thing that it might help her though anderson is also the conversation you had just happened. there's no question the cost of living is her headwind, but they're also to critical voting groups here. they're often put off by trump's rhetoric. and that is latinos and moderates in the fast-growing suburbs here. so arizona, it's just a fascinating test case as we get into the final days and have harris wants to duplicate biden's 2020 win in arizona? where does she have to perform so let me show you something else. >> we come back to where we were earlier today. let me stay in arizona. let me blank this out for you here. so if you look at the state, if you come back, joe biden flips this by 10,400 votes, right? >> it doesn't get much closer than that in a state that didn't reliably red. >> so you can look at again, maricopa county is six in ten people in the state live here. so that's really going to focus, that's where both campaigns are focusing. but look how close it was in maricopa county, 50.3 to 48.1?
5:39 pm
yes. joe biden won by a bit there, but where you saw those voters in that piece, that was here in pima county, look at the margin here. this is a big blue area. this is where harris has to turn out the vote biden heading 90,000 plus it's advantage in that one county, won the state by 10,000. so you have to go where the democratic voters are, and you have to turn them out. and that's why those canvassers are going door to door, especially at latino households who vote sometimes, but not always all right. >> john king stay with us just ahead. we want to dive into the early vote count already tens of millions it's americans have voted. what are those numbers tell us and more breaking news, billionaire jeff bezos is new op-ed and his newspaper, the washington post. his first comments on the anger over the papers late decision to not publish a presidential endorsement or brian stelter joins us ahead. >> you want to answer a stoop political analysis. >> have questions. how biden said the right ball stayed away. why did trump pulled out of a 60 minutes? >> i love pulling out network

5:44 pm
sell your car the easy way with carmona. >> i hanako montgomery tokyo. and this is cnn million ballots already been cast in early voting. >> that's across 47 states and the district of columbia where cnn has obtained figures to put that in perspective, that number represents almost 28% of the total number of votes recorded for president 2020 20 21 the early vote count, i'm joined by our political director, david chalian back with us also, john king, david tried to just put the context are in context of the significance of the early vote well, listen, we saw a revolution of early vote in the pandemic four years ago, anderson, i don't think we will see early vote make-up as large of a share as it did four years ago. >> but i think we'll see it makeup as large of a share in any presidential election other than 2020 in the height of the pandemic. but we will see some shifting to more people participating on election day than we saw as a share of the
5:45 pm
overall vote back then. >> and john, the party more in early voting? do we know well, that's the fascinating thing democrats are still participating more. >> but if you go state by state by state, and david can correctly, there may be some exception to this, but i don't have an arizona going tomorrow to nevada in both of these states, the republican percentage of early voting is up at this point in the election over where it was in 2024? no 2020, excuse me, no surprise there because remember, donald trump spent all of 2020 saying mail voting was early voting. mail voting was open to fraud. of course, it's not that republicans are trying to get their voters out earlier. the big question is, are they getting new voters low-propensity voters who might not show up otherwise, or people just enjoying the convenience are voting early. so they don't have to wait in line on election day. we're not going to know the answer to that question. are we getting a lot of new voters or a lot more republicans just now getting more comfortable with voting early, we won't know that til actually several days after the election when you get final turnout and all of that. but i will tell you quickly though, this helps the campaigns and this becomes a giant test of
5:46 pm
the turnout, the get out the vote put operations. because if you vote early, that's a public record. so they know you have voted. so then they go knock at the next house for somebody who hasn't voted. we know the harris campaign, labor unions that progressive group, you saw me with my piece in the last block earlier today in pima county. they know what they're doing. they have deep experience at this. trump has largely contracted his get-out-the-vote operation out maybe they're great. maybe there'll be perfect. we don't know that yet, but we know the democrats and their allies have great experience at this. it allows you in the age of big data to know that person's voted. we don't need to knock at that house. we need to get that other one. let's keep going. let's keep texting. let's find that person and get them to vote david. >> i mean, as john mentioned, the republican party's position early voting is higher, but i mean, that doesn't necessarily mean there will be higher republican turnout overall, right it doesn't. >> and this is, as john said, this is the question i asked political operatives to speak with every day right now, which is you are tracking these voters. do you know as we do? see, you just put up the pie charts, anderson, we saw back
5:47 pm
in 2020, republicans at this stage, eight days out in arizona were 34% of the votes that had already been cast now i think it's up to 43%, so yes, we are seeing republicans participate in greater numbers, but i ask operatives all the time. do you no. if they are just shifting from election day voters too early voters, or if this is new republican voters coming into the fold. and right now, i will tell you that democratic operatives tracking this both in the harris campaign and in other democratic statewide campaigns, they think state-by-state, they just see republicans participating think early the reliable republican voters. they don't yet so they claim, and as john said, we won't know the actual answer to this until election day. they don't yet see in their tracking that these are new republican
5:48 pm
>> today in pima county, we see a lot of democratic canvassing. we do not see a lot of republican canvassing that we could be missing it. we could be missing it, but democrat the keras campaign, it's progressive allies. they're out there all the time. pima county. joe biden won it by 90,000 votes. democrats need to maximize turn out there, right? maximize turnout in this state. >> but the last time we were here, not on this trip, we were in panel county. >> if you see that yeah. that's a county donald trump won with 58% of the vote. but we were out with democratic canvasses. a lot of latinos there who are low propensity voters. and again, if you get to them early and get them to vote, then in the final hours, final days of a campaign, you can dedicate your resources elsewhere. that's why early voting is so important. if you can take people off the table, then it's a much smaller universe that your target we're getting knocking on the doors trying to get out to vote. and so this is a giant test of both the tried and true democratic operation, which had a lot experience in 2020 and is built from that. and this new trump operation that we're not going to know for a bit, whether it works, but i'll tell you when
5:49 pm
you're out in neighborhoods, you don't see them much. >> they've challenged john king, thanks so much now to an incredibly important court hearing today for what remains a rudy giuliani about whether he'll be able to keep his million-dollar residents in palm beach, florida or senior crime and justice reporter caitlin poland's joins us with the latest access to the things the judge have has not allowed them to get access to yet because giuliani has put up legal arguments. >> so are ready. they have been awarded by this judge in federal court in manhattan. giuliani is condo on the upper east side. it's worth about 6 million are gonna be able to sell that off, collect that money. a lot of other luxury items he has two dozen or so watches. a rolex things. he got his gifts after 911, but what still so is a condo he owns the only other property he owns. it's in palm beach just down the street from our logo where he spends quite a bit of time. it's worth about three-and-a-half million dollars and giuliani argues, he lives there now, there's been
5:50 pm
quite a question for some time. when did he start living there and even today in court, his lawyers couldn't identify the exact day. that's going to be a question they're going to have to identify and it will matter whether he can keep it because if he if it is where he lives, he can keep it in florida and the other thing he's trying to hold onto are things of quite a lot of sentimental value to him for world series rings, when the yankees won in the 90s and then 2000, his son andrew giuliani claims that he was given to them by his father. even though rudy is still wears one from the subway series, that all four should be belonging to andrew giuliani. and then out of the hands of ruby freeman and shaye moss, but they're going hard to get everything. and there's a deadline tomorrow that came up in court as well. that they're going to get all this information or all of these items, giuliani is also in the news because what he said at madison square garden last night, just want to play some of that and then they indicted him four times i had to stop if they indicted him
5:51 pm
one more time, he'd have been elected by acclimation >> i don't know. i'm not going to do conspiracy and i'm not going to do this they tried everything else and now they're trying to kill him they better not try again is it clear what standing this guy has in trump's orbit? >> i mean, well, because he asked trump for money while back. >> yeah. and he actually claims that the trump campaign never paid him for his work as a lawyer. and ruby freeman and shaye moss can sue the trump campaign now, theoretically, to get that 2 million dollars they owe to giuliani, but at this time, he's not a top surrogate, but he's still out there for donald trump and, you know, anderson, it's important for us to just remember what this court case is. this is the consequence of what rudy
5:52 pm
giuliani did as donald trump's lawyer after the last election, spreading disinformation patient about election fraud in georgia, speaking about these women in a way that caused them a severe amount of intimidation and threats from trump supporters. he was disbarred as an attorney. he's being sued by other people who haven't gotten to the point of having 150 million judgment against him it's just a reminder of the harm that these women who faced and why they're being owed $150 million by giuliani. >> and poland's thanks so much. appreciate it coming up next, we have more breaking news. >> jeff bezos speaking out on his newspaper, the washington post, not endorsing presidential candidate for the first time in nearly 40 years is he in the paper faced backlash for that decision? >> add the liquid gels are faster and stronger than tylenol rapid release jones also from advil, advil targeted relief, the only topical with four powerful pain fighting

5:57 pm
presidential candidate this year. >> this is thousands washington post readers canceling their subscriptions and at least three members of their editorial board quit over the move. tonight, bezos wrote an op-ed for the paper with the headline, quote, the hard truth, americans don't trust the news media or a note from our owner, bezos argues and i quote presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election. he adds, what presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias and perception of non-independence ending them as a principal decision. and it's the right one. joining us with more cnn chief media analyst, brian stelter. it's interesting that he wrote this presented documents, do nothing to tip the scales of an election. is that what this is about? for bezos? it might be, and this might be the right decision. but at the wrong time and he acknowledged his in his note tonight the way i've never seen him write an essay like this, it's a reaction to the unprecedented pressure that post is under. but i think he wrote this tonight because tens of thousands possible, even hundreds of thousands of describers have bailed on the post and the past few days even
5:58 pm
more might do it in the days to come out of a fear that he's capitulating to donald trump, that he's giving into trump bezos's saying that that's not the case. he's doing this and says principle decision, but he's doing it on the eve of an election. and that's really the issue at the heart of this. he acknowledges maybe he had some poor timing, maybe you should have announced announced this earlier, but he's doing it because he wants to win back people's trust over time in the short-term though, he's lost a lot of his audience's trust, the he also wrote, there's no quitting pro quo of anytime or there's no quid-pro-quo of any kind is at work here. that's a quote the head of is blue origin had met with trump apparently on the day of the announcement was made, he says he didn't know about that meeting and it was an unfortunate total coincidence that right. a person close to bezos says, no, there's nothing to do with it. there's no quid pro quo. here's the thing there's hard pressure, a quid pro quo, a deal with trump, and then there's a form of soft pressure. and the real concern i'm hearing from post reporters, from editors, from columnists, is it that the form of soft pressure being applied here. the author volunteer and he, timothy snyder has talked for years about the idea of
5:59 pm
obeying in advance that in democracies that are citing toward autocracy as people try to obey in advance that wealthy businessman the media leaders, that powerful people start to give in to the aspiring authoritarian whims in advance. and that's exactly the concern that exists here. in fact, snyder came out over the weekend, said that's what he thinks is happening at the washington post and the los angeles has said who he would vote for in the election. >> he has not. but the paper under bezos, when he owned the paper, did endorse clinton in 2016 and endorsed joe biden in 2020, strictly anderson, the paper actually endorsed the maryland senate democrat candidate for the senate just four weeks ago. so this sudden change in endorsement, it's the timing that's created some controversy. >> the owner of the los angeles times sudden not to endorse as well? >> yes. and there's been the same kind of fallout, not quite as many subscribers bosses, but there as well, more than 10,000 subscribers canceling subscriptions. basically an active protests. the only kind of protests that an audience member can have if you're paying for a publication that you can back out and the fear at both the la times and the washington post is the same that these owners are giving in
6:00 pm
to pressure from trump ahead of the election expecting that he will win it's certainly pesos sites of former editor or owner, i of the washington post back, i think i mean decades and decades ago. >> as somebody who didn't want there to be endorsements, right? >> and this is true of 50, 60 years ago, the post did not endorse, but in modern history and the post has more importantly for a lot of the post columnist, the opinion writers, they don't believe this is important than north endorsed terrorists as it is to condemn donald trump. they believe trump is a threat to the american free press, and that he will impose draconian restrictions and those fears are palpable in other newsrooms as well. i think that's why this story has resonated so wide and so far. but bezos, he's saying he's trying to do the right thing, trying to restore trust in the media. >> brian stelter. thanks so much that's it. >> for us. you can check out my podcast on grief called all there is it seen on dock? collins starts now
