result, they pleaded not guilty. >> so what happens next? they pleaded guilty. >> so they plead not guilty, not guilty at this point. right now. so that investigation goes forward at this point, but also now the family is filing civil litigation against these former officers, but also against the state, the head of the state corrections as well, saying that this was someone who is responsible for a culture of this. and i want to read a quick statement from the attorney here, andrew m. stroke, who said that the graphic video shows the justified in brutal murder of both fell more of 38-year-old black man by correctional officers and highlights the complete disregard for the sanctity of life deliberate indifference in failure to provide him emergency medical care to othello, the department of corrections told me they don't comment on pending litigation, but we do expect to hear more from the civil attorneys on this as the criminal no proceedings. go ahead. and i should mention there was a fifth former corrections officer that was charged in this. those charges don't exist anymore. the county prosecutor wouldn't elaborate saying there are other cases pending and he left it at that this is difficult to

watch. >> as i said, omar, terrific work on this. and you're gonna stay on it. thanks so much for being with us this morning. of course, we get a brand new hour of cnn news central starting right now. >> that's one more week until election day seventh days to the election. kamala harris set to deliver her closing argument from the same place donald trump held his january 6 rally. we have a preview of her final pitch to go. photos and a trump campaign trying to hammer home its message and its final stretch, but it's being overshadowed by the growing fallout from the comedian's bigoted so-called joke about puerto rico. and it's full steam ahead for the los angeles dodgers. now, just one win away from a clean sweep of the world series i'm sara sidner with john berman and kate baldwin stopped booing new yorkers. this is cnn new central

to hear from donald trump, at a press conference at mar-a-lago as he faces what politico calls a pr disaster. >> that is what we call a clever do dubois entendre they are talking about public relations but also puerto rico after the huge backlash against the racist joke about puerto ricans at a trump rally. so how will trump address this? will he apologize if he does? will it be believable? and it comes as vice president harris prepares for what could be the most important speech she gives in this final week of the campaign. it is on the ellipse in washington, dc, the very spot where on january 6, 2021, donald trump spoke during his efforts to overturn the 2020 election with us. now, cnn political director sometimes cnn news central anchor david chalian, this is what we call a

hell of a moment. david, with one week to go it's really remarkable because of how close the race is. john. each one of these things, the stories that you just described could matter here there's little doubt about that now, i don't know if we know yet. on the trump msg rally fallout, how much of a true electoral disaster or not? it is, but we do know this. if you do spend the day eight days out from election day trying to assert that you are not a nazi, you are probably not in exactly the place you want to be from a message perspective, eight days before election day. and that is precisely what donald trump did at his rally last night. >> the speech on the ellipse, we've known this is coming for some time. david, talk about this place to make this case against donald trump. and for kamala harris yes. >> so kamala harris has

discussed why she chose this location and her aides that i've talked to have pointed to a couple of things. one, john, in this world where you are trying to grab attention in such a fragmented media environment choosing a symbolic location like the ellipse for you just played that split-screen of donald trump on january 6, standing in that very same spot is obviously a choice at the campaign made to gather attention around this speech. now, it is not. we are told by harris aides that this speech is going to be all about democracy or january 6 specifically, i think it's going to include much broader themes that you've heard harris talking about the need to turn the page setting up the contrast of his enemies list and her to do list. but the backdrop is not lost on anyone, including kamala harris because she talked about it to cbs earlier this week? >> i think it is very important for the american people to see

and think about who will be occupying that space on january 20, and the reality of it is that most americans can visualize the oval office. we've seen it on television. and this is a real scenario. it's either going to be donald trump or it's going be me sitting behind the resolute desk in the oval office from kamala harris to lean into a contrast here, but there has been so much talk as you know, in democratic circles, is it right to close on just going after trump? >> should she also be making the affirmative case for herself? i promise you, in my understanding of this speech tonight, which may run about 35 minutes in length i believe you're going to hear it all. you're going to hear her make the affirmative case for her vision for the country, and you're going to hear her drive a contrast with donald trump. >> yeah, they're being very explicit that she's going to make that connection, that they

are connected. she's going to turn that corner in the speech that's the goal. from the harris campaign, at least david chalian, great to see you. thank you very much also this morning, the fbi is trying to figure out who set fire to ballot boxes and portland, oregon, and vancouver, washington and what one official calls a direct attack on democracy. >> the fire in vancouver yesterday destroyed or damaged hundreds of ballots authorities believed that the two incidents there are connected and they are still searching for a suspect in a separate incident last week it happened in phoenix, arizona 35-year-old man has now been charged with arson for allegedly setting fire to a usps mailbox outside a post office. several ballots were damaged. there, but police in this one say they do not believe that this fire was politically motivated. phoenix is america accounting a county on high alert as we get closer to election day, as they hope to avoid the chaos fueled by misinformation from last time around and joining us right now is a supervisor of maricopa

county, arizona. bill gates. it's good to see you again, bill. let's talk first about what you're what you're dealing with in phoenix that ours that phoenix arson, again, please say that incident is not related to the election, but it had me thinking one week out. are you just holding your breath that it stays that way? >> well, thanks for having me and we're excited about this selection. obviously a week out, people are very engaged. we've had a lot of people voting by mail in voting early already in the team is ready. this is what we've been preparing for for the last time we had the election in 2022. >> i would also make the argument. your team was also ready and did a great job back in back in 2022 and in 2020, we watched it all play out with you, bill, but we have reporting that election workers looking ahead to next week, election workers are going to

be protected behind bulletproof glass. police drones are gonna be overhead snipers are going to be on rooftops for extra security. can you talk me through kind of those preparations? and what they look like this time around, how they are and maybe half to be different from 2020 changes. >> look, we in maricopa county, it takes thousands of workers to run each election we depend on them. they have a lot of experience, their great folks there are our friends or neighbors, or aunts and uncles and unfortunately in this environment, we have where there are a lot of people who are engaging in violent talk. it's important that we protect both our workers and the ballots that are in our tabulation center so my colleagues and i on the board of supervisors, we've made millions of dollars of investments to make sure that the tabulation center is safe. we have added new fencing,

badging. we had metal taken other measures to make sure that everyone is safe and they can focus on their important jobs want to know what your messages. >> now, one week out because arizona was a prime target of election deniers linked to the stop the steal movement. you as an official in the county, you became one of the fish officials that probably faced maybe the biggest brunt of misinformation and harassment after the election what do you want everyone, especially those who are spinning some of that misinformation. what do you want to say to all those people this time around? >> i would implore them to focus on if they have, you know, candidates that they're working for, focus on the get out, the vote efforts, get to do everything they can to get a victory for their candidate as opposed to spreading misinformation but for people that still have questions, i would encourage them to go to a website that we set up called

just the fact stop vote. and we go through each one of these conspiracies and present the facts for folks we understand there are people who still have questions because the misinformation has been spread. but i think once they go on there, they were do that they're going to feel good, but we are certainly asking people if they can to get out and vote early today is actually the last day here america, the county, if you want to mail in your ballot, this is your last day to do it and be assured that it will be counted. we do expect a lot of people coming out to vote through election day so getting your vote now and then just have a seat on election night and watched the returns come in is that our election night? >> and that was when the one quick question i had in 2020, cnn projected arizona went for biden nine days after election day. that was five days after cnn i had projected that biden had won the whole election do you think given the changes you all have made in the county and

throughout the state, do you think it could take that many days? to call the election in arizona this time around again well, this is something that people bring up a lot and it's important for folks to know that that is exactly what you're saying. >> you're talking about when the network's call it and the reason that we do have many races where it takes several days is because maricopa county and arizona specifically has such close races. they're very close a where a divided, closely divided state and county. so what i would say to people is the patient, we know that we will get through the count, the vote in time, so that we can make sure that arizona's electoral votes are counted no matter no matter no matter how many days it takes, it's good to see you, bill. >> thank you very much sara thanks for having trump ally steve bannon released from prison just hours ago and

expected to host his right-wing podcast this morning, just one week to leave the election. >> he's hoping to make the difference in favor of trump right now legal teams for both donald trump and kamala harris are gun gearing up for a possible courtroom battles. >> and what could be a historically close post election fight and waffles, eggs, deli, meat quarter pounders, all recall this year. how can you stay safe from foodborne illnesses? dr. sanjay gupta is joining us next political analysis questions biden said the right both stayed away why did trump pulled out of a 60 minutes? >> i love pulling out, losing that word. nobody got news for you saturday at nine on cnn home where routine meets remarkable with unexpected moment if the inspiration around every corner and through every window quiet mornings in the sun with cordell's we're

hours ago, trump ally steve bannon is a free man, released from prison just days before election day. ban served at 120 day federal sentence for contempt of congress charges after refusing to comply. why with the subpoena from the house select committee that investigated the january 6 attack on the capitol and the timing of his release, could not be more critical. the new york times put it this way, quote bannon's released from prison will unleash an agitator into a heated campaign cnn's sara murray is in washington. there is a question here. he could impact the race, couldn't he well, it certainly could. >> i think what we've seen from steve bannon as he does not shy away from incendiary and inflammatory rhetoric and trying to use that as well as a wide variety of conspiracy theories to really try to rather up the trump base. and he's does that on his war room podcast, which people can get in a variety of places in which has really suffered in his absence. and we were talking to people about the metrics. for

instance, pod chaser, which is a company that measures this. they noted this precipitous fall off in the reach of the war room podcast when steve bannon was it's behind bars and that it's been ticking up a little bit essentially in anticipation of his release. he knows you pointed out he's been behind bars in federal prison in connecticut for four months after he was convicted in 2022 on two counts of contempt of congress, that was for refusing to provide the house select committee investigating the january 6 attack on the capitol with documents as well as testimony, but now he's out. now he is out. he's resuming the helm of his megaphone and he essentially has a week to try to sway trump voters and any potential independence to show up on behalf of donald trump and look, there's an indication that he's not wasting any time. we expect him to be back on the airwaves on his podcast today. later today, he's planning on holding a press conference in new york. and so it is going to look a little bit like a final sprint for him to try to get donald trump over the finish line. although i will note is i was

talking to folks who monitor this sort of conservative eco-system. they think it's going to take a little while for bannon's audience to fully return. but they're really looking bannon as the kind of agitator who is going to continue to whip up election lies and conspiracies. if we are in a position where it looks like donald trump is falling short on election day in an already heated political season, it's about to get hotter. sara murray. thank you so much. appreciate it. john so this morning, good news for travelers ahead of the holiday season, airlines now being forced to pay up in cash. if flights are significantly delayed or canceled for the first tom jeff bezos publicly defending his decision to end the washington post decades old tradition of endorsing presidential candidates after hundreds of thousands of readers canceling subscriptions it all comes down to this. we can now make take a major projection. >> the way only cnn can bring

seen, republican aligned groups it's already launching a flood of cases and lawsuits in courts across the country, especially in battlegrounds, challenging everything from ballot rules to voter for qualifications experts say these legal challenges could also continue for weeks or months to come. >> cnn's paula reid it's tracking all of this and it's turning out to be more and more and more that you're tracking paula. good morning yes. >> absolutely. this is a lawyer full employment act to be sure. and i've spoken with teams for both candidates, the legal teams, and it's clear they have spent years preparing for potential litigation around the 2024 presidential race and in speaking with one republican source, he even conceded. he

said, look historically, democrats do this, they call it lawfare using the courts to achieve their ends better than we do. but he said, we're a lot better than we were in 2020. as you may remember, the trump legal team in 2020, they lost a 61 of 62 cases and several of his lawyers were sanctioned or even face criminal charges. so i'm told that the first priority this time around for the trump team when it came to putting together their legal strategy was trying to hire good legal talent that was their first priority. and i'm also told that they believe that former president trump understands that right now you need to spend money to get really good lawyers and how them litigate these issues before the election and not after and there you can see any brosseau and david wearing tin two of the lawyers leading out the so-called election integrity wearing tin is the general counsel for the campaign. and they've helped oversee this effort where are the republicans? have intervened and around 130 cases related to election litigation now on the

democratic side, they have put together a powerhouse panel of lawyers to oversee their legal strategy. if former white house counsel, dana remus, you have two former solicitor general's long time of biden lawyer, bob bauer an election recount expert mark elias, and it's interesting to see the two teams. there a little bit different, but they're doing a lot of the same things. both teams have tapped a nationwide network of state-level lawyers. so these are lawyers that can offer are a specialized knowledge and their jurisdiction. so if they find there's a legal issue that they need to proceed do in a specific county in pennsylvania or north carolina, they already how those networks of lawyers lined up. i'm also told that both sides have engaged in war gaming. they've been playing out certain strategies for example, on the republican side, they war gamed what to do around a natural disaster. so they said when they saw what happened in florida so when they saw what happened in north carolina, they said, hey, we prepared for this. democrats have also drafted thousands of

pages of pleading. so they're going to be ready to file things if they determine that that's what they need to do. now we're two days away from halloween. kate, so i just want to bring up one last issue and that is zombie lawsuits because we've seen a lot of litigation so far. so we're sort of pending some appear to be resolved, but depending on what happens on november 5, you could see either side trying to resurrect some of these cases if they believe that case could make the difference for their side. so again, this could go for days, weeks, even months after election day that was not on my bingo card. >> and where you're going to go with two days. i've been very impressive zombie lawsuits. if we weren't already terrified of what was what was about to come. now it can be terrified even more. it's good to see you, paula. thank you. >> john, does he have sexy pirate lawsuits because that's what i'm showing. >> excuse me. i'm thinking more sexy case i say gay man, 60 pirate. all part of a theme thoughts. it's a close election. let's stick with that. a very close election part in the lower surrounding

donald trump for nearly ten years now. is that the polls underestimate donald trump? >> maybe. >> well, what if, what if this time they don't want of this time the polls are actually underestimating kamala harris with me now, sexy pirate and cnn's data correspondent harry enten. >> thank you. all right, harry, this is actually serious here. the polls have underestimated donald trump in 2016 and 2020. any precedent for it happening three times in a row? >> that's the great question, john, is there any precedent that the polls will underestimate donald trump, once again, because that's all we hear about. oh, donald trump. he's going to outperform his pulse. >> so i went back and checked out whether or not a party outran the polls three presidential election cycles in a row. >> in the key battleground, states, it's never happened. it's never happened. zero times zero times since 1,972. so if the polls are going to underestimate donald trump, once again, that would be historically precedent that now maybe you want to make the

argument that donald trump himself has historically unprecedented. but what normally happens is the pollsters catch on, hey, we're underestimating, we're not taking into account some part of the electorate. they make adjustments and i think that helps to explain why we have never seen that the same party has been underestimated three times in a row. and presidential elections at least so over the last 52 years, kara, you're seeing other evidence here that a polling miss, as we'll call it, wouldn't necessarily even benefit trump as much this time. yeah. >> so you know, if we went back to 2020, right. all the polls, pennsylvania and you're wisconsin, michigan, those three key great lake battleground states, they favor trump by a wide margin, but there was this group of pollsters that actually had trump out ahead. and indeed, donald trump's best polls in 2020 were eight points better than the poll averages in those states. so there was this idea, this universe hey, maybe the averages are really underestimating donald trump this time around. the question that i had was are there still these polls that may indicate that the averages are really underestimating donald trump this time around, there's

really not the evidence for it. the best polls for trump actually only have him running about three points ahead of the polling average the key great but great lake battleground states versus the eight last time around. so last time around there was this group of pulses that said, hey, wait a minute, the polling average may be underestimating donald trump this time around john, they simply put, do not exist. and one little last thing i'll note that those polls that really underestimated donald trump were still too good for donald trump. the polls that indicated that the polls the polling average was underestimate. donald trump. so i wouldn't be surprised if even this is indicating, hey, wait a minute, these polls that suggest that trump will do better than the average are actually two good for trump interesting way to look at it. >> and of course we talk about 20:16, 2020 we have had a big election since then. >> that's exactly right. so you know, if the idea is that maybe the polls jurors have in fact been making adjustments. you might have seen it in 2022. and what do we see in 2022 in michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin, while it turns out that the average poll in those states actually underestimated

democrats by four points. it underestimated democrats by four points. and i want to apply that to the electoral map because of it turns out that the polls underestimate donald trump are underestimated. the democrats, excuse me, like they did in 2022. what happens? well, kamala harris runs a sweet because she wins all these great lake back battleground states. she winds down in the southeast and she wins down on the southwest and she gets the 319 electoral votes. the bottom line is this deir audience. and mr. berman, i think a lot of folks are sort of counting in that donald trump will in fact be underestimated by the polls. but when i'm looking at the evidence i think he got a hold on a second. maybe that'll happen. maybe it will happen. but i think that there are folks were undressing the underestimated the idea that maybe kamala harris will be underestimated by the polls, at least a week out, a public service announcement from our senior data reporter, harry enten. thank you. thank you. >> sara. all right. this morning, the two campaigns responding in strikingly different tones on the trump rally speaker who called puerto rico a floating island of garbage and joked about black people in watermelons.

>> kamala harris and jd vance responded this way. >> we understand before us to turn the page on the fear and divisiveness that have characterized our politics for a decade okay. >> and my own view on this is look again, 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 so the joke, but i 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 joining me now, political strategist and trump 2020 board member, madison, just your toe and cnn political commentator maria cardona. >> thank you both for being here. madison, i'll start with you, vance, you heard him there telling voters they should just brush off the racist joke, stop getting upset after the campaign has already tried to distance itself from that particular joke is this the closing argument you want the

campaign to be making a week until the election i think the campaign has to be out there making a closing argument about the issues that voters care about most about the economy, about the border, about what's going on internationally when we talk about the middle east, or we talk about the war in ukraine and russia. >> i mean, people want to see peace it's across the world, especially in many of the swing states like michigan, where they've isolated themselves from the kamala harris campaign. a lot of people in the muslim community not supporting her, that may have otherwise. and so i think there are a lot of issues that president trump should be piggybacking on right now about his successes from 2017 to 2020 talking about what he was able to do for the american people and what he's going to do in the next four years if elected? i think you're seeing similar concerns coming out of kamala harris is super pac that are putting out statements saying you shouldn't be focusing on this purely negative character attack on donald trump. the most effective messaging for kamala harris and her campaign is calling contrast messaging, talking about abortion, talking about the economy. and so i think it's a big mistake on

her front as well to be continuing to talk about what went on at this rally. well, obviously people don't support this you could see in the room people were appalled by these jokes that wasn't the venue for it. i don't think it was okay at all. but again, i don't know necessarily if this is going to swing the needle for people who are really concerned about you're putting food on the table for people who are concerned about energy prices, for people who are concerned about the border and what's gone on in their communities as a result, maria is racist and massage massage amnestic rhetoric by the trump campaign, the october surprise that democrats can play off of i think it certainly is that sara, and if republicans don't think that this is going to move the needle, then they have not talked to any of the what-if donie kenya's any of the latinos, any of the women, any of the black voters? >> who were all the subject of horrid insults at that madison square garden rally that the trump campaign had and so that's why you see voters all in battleground states and all

over the country. frankly telling all of their friends and neighbors and family to go out and vote for kamala harris because they understand that the vitriol, the hatred, the masada need the racism, the white supremacy. that was all on display. and that's nothing new, frankly, coming from trump world is not something that american voters want they want to turn the page and they are looking at kamala harris, who is focused on the future. she has a to-do list where she's going to solve the issues that americans really care about. the economy health reproductive rights. and yes, democracy versus donald trump, who is focused and obsessed with retribution, with vengeance stooped over, looking at his enemies, enemies list to see how he can sic the military on americans. and that is not something that the american voter wants. they're going to turn the page. they're going to get away from the chaos us, the

vitriol the cruelty, and they're going to focus on the agenda that kamala harris has for the american people, which is focused on optimism, on hope, on bringing people together and on being the president for everyone, as opposed to just those who voted for her i do. >> i would be remiss if i didn't mention this because after what we saw happening at madison square garden, elon musk is getting in on the massaging as stick train playing on this c-word in this latest ad, his pro-trump super pac shared on x. >> this had contains multiple instances of the c-word viewer discretion is advised kamala harris is a c-word. you heard that, right? >> a big old c-word. in fact, all of the other c-words think she's the biggest c-word of the mall madison, who was this supposed to appeal to? >> what what are you what are they doing here?

>> i have no idea on what they're doing on that one. it certainly doesn't appeal to me as a woman voter, but at the same time, you know, we talk about minorities kamala harris's campaign continuing to hemorrhage support with many minority communities. it is a concern and i don't think to just say, oh, it's all, you know, rainbows and butterflies because she's different than donald trump is the answer. i mean, my husband's black, my family's black. they're supporting donald trump because of the economy. they're supporting donald trump because of the border. and so you look across the country and there are many people who feel the same way, who were hoping maybe for and contrasting message for more policy details, the polling continues to reflect that many minorities and specifically swing voters and in swing states want to hear more about her policy proposals. don't feel comfortable with what she said so far on some of her flip-flops, and i don't think she's provided them with the answer to that. and so when it comes to next tuesday, it's going to be down to the margins. it could potentially come down just to pennsylvania. so i think they both need to be out there fighting for those same voters. and of course, pushing their basis to turn out as well maria, i'll let you're getting the last word so yes.

kamala harris is absolutely continuing to fight for every single vote. and you see in the latest polling that she is where she needs to be and more with less dina voters, with black voters, she is absolutely where she needs to be with women as well as she's continuing to fight for men but if you don't think that any of what donald trump is saying and all of his allies who are focused on the kind of misogyny that you just showed sara. you don't think that that's moving the needle, then republicans are not paying attention because voters are sick of it. they have had it, they have had it with the chaos and with the cruelty and with the insults, they want someone who's going to focus on their future and kamala harris has been the one the focus on those economic solutions. kamala harris is ready to get to work. donald trump is ready to get even an americans are going to reject that wholeheartedly in this election. >> maria cardona madison, just you too. thank you both so

>> here's what he said in part. in the op-ed. what presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias, a perception of non-independence ending them is a principled decision. and it's the right one cnn's hadas gold is following all of this. what's been said, what motivated it, and now what's come of it after the fact, what are you learning? >> yeah, so these are the first public comments were hearing from jeff bezos since this sort of supply prize non-endorsement came out in the washington post, giving it a nice splash here in the paper where the headline is called the hard truth americans don't trust the news media. and that is essentially jeff bezos argument. he's saying that people have lost trust in the media. they believe the media is biased, and that these types of endorsement endorsements only contribute to that perception of bias is when they're trying to rebuild the trust, want to read part of what he says. he says, i wish we had made the change earlier than we did in a moment further from the election and the emotions around it that was inadequate planning thank and not some intentional strategy. i would also like to be clear that no quid pro quo of any kind is at work here, and that's because of that meeting

we saw on friday between former president donald trump and members of the blue origin jeff bezos, space space company. and there was a perception that this non-endorsement is coming at the same day of this meeting. there was also a meeting of the editorial board yesterday, led by david shipley, the opinions editor, and he is saying that he had tried to convince jeff bezos to still make this endorsement, that jeff bezos first expressed doubt back in september for with what he called an arched eyebrow. but david shipley said to the team, i failed in trying to convince him he did try to convince them until the very last minute. we also know of at least three members of the post's editorial board resigning from the editorial board. that's nearly one-third of the entire tour boat. it's a ten member editorial board. they are not resigning from their jobs at the washington post, but they are resigning from there her position. do you see all three of them actually david hoffman right there. he just won a pulitzer prize actually, for editorial writing about how autocrats will try to use digital means to further their path how are the dictatorial power? and he told

me in an interview yesterday, he said, we face a terrible, terrible choice. i believe a looming autocracy. i don't want to be silent about it. i don't want the post to be silent about it and the fact that we're not going to endorse is a degree of silence. i cannot stand and we're seeing this very swift backlash also from the readers, from the subscribers. the npr is reporting that some 200,000 subscribers have canceled their subscriptions. now, shipley was asked about this in the meeting by members of the editorial staff, he said he didn't have the numbers. the washington post, though notably we has declined to comment on this. that means they'rere also not denying that that number of subscribers have canceled. that's significant, you know, a lot of newspapers are struggling right n and jeff bezos is talking about how they need e to increase their subscriber numbers and increase that trust. but obviously this endorsement has deeply affected that yeah, hadas great reporting. >> thank you so much, john. >> all right. a hw day in this political campaign, donald trump is about to hold a news conference. will he apologize for the racist jokes about puerto ricans at his big rally, vice president harris about to

give a big speech on the ellipse in washington, dc, the site where donald trump spoke on january 6, during his efforts to overturn the 2020 election with this. now, jamie harrison, chair of the democratic national committee. mr. chairman, thanks so much for being with us again. donald trump about to give this news conference at mar-a-lago. do you think he should apologize for what was said at his rally about puerto rican and what difference do you think it makes if he does? >> well, john, i don't think donald trump's going to apologize and listen. it's because he has enabled this type of dialogue. you know that msg rally was. it was filled with bigotry, hatred, division massage one, racism everything that you could find, you know, just a few years ago any presidential can, there was just even affiliated with that type of vowel. >> vowels. >> it would be eliminated from even being considered but this is who donald trump is. and the

american people really need to ask themselves a question. do we want four more years with us? these are the people that he hangs out with. so don't be shocked, folks. this is who donald trump is and this is what the type of stuff that you hear is rallies, it's a type of stuff that you see all the time. america is better than this. it is so much better than us. and we don't need to go back. >> we won't go back. we're going to close the chapter on donald trump and move forward with joy and hope and unity and all of those things. those are the things that, that come with harris is fighting for each and every day. you would never hear that type of bowel coming? i'm out of her mouth. >> you would never see her affiliate with those type of people, john i am part of the you can't read too much into early voting club proud member. in fact, of that club, but i know chairman, your excited about what you're seeing in michigan, why

seeing across the country i'm excited you know, early vote is going has gone full everybody is getting out there, they're casting their ballots early. >> we're seeing also a large number of women go out and vote early. and we know that there's a big gap right now in terms of gender division, because women are also fed up, they are those of us who support the women in our lives are fed up. i mean, for the first time in 50 years, john grandmothers and great grandmothers have had more rights than their granddaughters in their daughters yeah, we're a country that is supposedly always progressing but since donald trump has been was president, we started regressing, moving back and he talks about making america great again, saying that america's greatness is in her past. but we know america's greatness is in our future, and that future means more rights

for the american people, not less and so i believed that looking at the numbers of the way that they are, we are in a really good place, but it's going to be close and they can't take anything for granted and we got to make sure everybody gets out to have their voice be heard. >> you are excited about the voting numbers among women early, but i do have to say you know, live by early vote prognostication and die by early vote prognostication. and i point you to nevada, john ralston, who everyone knows the such a great job within nevada independent talking about the early vote there by his count right now, republicans who overturned ballots 40,000 vote lead for republicans right now in nevada, among those ballot returns, a 5.7% sent. he says this has never happened, not even close in recent times why is it happening well. >> listen, i mean, the republicans this year have pushed early vote. and so you have seen early vote numbers for even republicans go up but

regardless of that, i am very, very confident in our get out the vote operations. i think it is the best that we've had democratic party in general are you shouldn't. we have had people on the ground in many of these battleground states, not more, more than a year. i mean, remember john, these same battleground states with a battleground states in the midterm, the battleground states in which we won senate races. the battleground states in which we won governor's races. so i'm very, very confident in our operation the culinary workers, they're in las vegas have had the biggest operation they've had in their history. i'm going out to nevada this week in order to make sure that we're pushing, i'll probably end up again. i was just in michigan. i'll probably end up again in wisconsin in pennsylvania were not taking anything for granted and we're pushing and i believe in this very close election, it is our ground operation, 50 state strategy

that's going to make the difference just for the record, in 2022, you won a senate race in nevada. you did lose the governor's mansion there in the early voting numbers according to ralston, two years ago look better for democrats at least at this point, but we'll see as i said, well, a proud member of the don't read too much into early voting. chairman jamie harrison, thanks so much for being with us. appreciate it. >> there. >> all right. >> new allegations against sean "diddy" combs a disturbing new claims in a civil lawsuit just filed involving children and we check in on the world stage ferries were the dodgers are one win away from clinching their eighth world series brought to you by the u.s department of health and human services risks bless, do more campaign, reminding you to get this season's flu and covid-19 vaccines go to cnn.com slash dr. gupta on call or scan the qr code to ask your question this week what do you talk

your custom formulas at pros.com an election like no other, and 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 at four on cnn there have been

recalls this year on everything from toaster waffles to below-knee me, to burritos and quarter pounders to try and keep people from getting sick or worse, the latest was an e coli outbreak and mcdonald's across 13 states which left one person dead and 75 sick and none donalds is determined. >> it was the slivered onion that was the culprit. and they are now serving the popular quarter pounder again without the onion after its beef patties from colorado tested negative for e coli. cnn chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta is on call for us today. sanja sunday when you look looked at this, the usda agree that it wasn't the mcdonald's beef patties that were the source of the e coli yeah. >> pretty much. i mean, i think the thing that they were sort of pointing at was when you look at these fast food restaurants as a general rule, when it comes to the meat, they're going to be cooking at pretty high temperatures. so i got to quarter pounder with cheese here. sara, first thing about running just to show you so it was it was not the beef so much as they think it was

the slivered onions on here, by the way, those are slivered onions in case you didn't know sliced onions. but when you cook meat at these fast food restaurants, they're cooking it typically at temperatures high enough that it's going to take care of things like e coli, so the recommendation, if you go look at this would be 160 degrees to kill e coli. >> mcdonald's cooking temperature as 175 degrees. so when i heard that there were several restaurants that seemed to be the source of this outbreak, unless they all started cooking, there beef at lower temperatures that had to be something else. and i think that's what sort of led the investigation towards the slivered onions. and in many places, i think around 900 restaurants, you won't have slivered onions on those quarter pounders for some time until they can rectify that outbreak. >> sanjay, i thought you're going to take a bite out of that at 8:00, 57 that was going to be breaking news that dr. gupta is eating quarter pounders before nine in the morning we have to go buy this last night, so it's definitely unless appetizing

>> anyway, this morning we seem to be hearing about this more and more. is that because this is happening more and more? >> i think i think it's a couple of things. i think there are more outbreaks, certainly, but i think if you look at the way we investigate these outbreaks, meaning the usda and others, they're far more sophisticated at it. if you take a look at the numbers overall, there are a lot of people who get some sort of foodborne for an illness every year. i mean, in the in the 48 million illnesses a year, 128,000 people hospitalized, 3,000 deaths, putting this together, like where did this start? where did it come from? what's the source has always been challenging, but now i think they've gotten much better with genomics to be able to say, hey, there's a gene match here. let's start to figure out what all these various restaurants have in common so they can actually target these outbreaks more when you look at these numbers, you realize the majority, vast majority of people who get a foodborne illness they'll never

really be discovered because they sort of just take care of it at home themselves. the top foods incidentally, for potential foodborne illnesses, turkey fruits, chicken and pork. those are going to be the most likely culprits and there are several types of pathogens that can potentially be expelled. you could be exposed to and including salmonella that's more common in the summer months norovirus, that's the thing that people associate with cruise ships. and when you look at these, these, these pathogens overall, you got to keep in mind that just a small amount just a very small amount could actually make people sick. and that's why there's so much focus on this. >> you did give us some good advice the beginning, which is to make sure to cook meat at a high enough temperature that could help kill something like e coli. dr. sanjay gupta, it is always a pleasure and don't forget to scan the qr code on your screen and send us your questions on the risks of illnesses from the food you eat and how you can stay safe. dr.
