hunt tomorrow at five eastern close captioning bronchi by mesobook.com if you or a loved one have mesothelial mac will send you a free book to answer questions you may have call now and we'll come to you 808 to 14000 election today, as you know, we've been counting closely and tens of thousands of people are expected at the ellipse today, the same place where donald trump rallied his supporters on january 6, as vice president, kamala harris aims to flip the script, delivering what could be one of the final major addresses of her campaign and former president trump is hosting rally in allentown, pennsylvania, which is notably home to a large puerto rican operation as he is trying to distance himself from the comments that were made by median at his new york rally

that referred to puerto rico is an island of garbage. >> and new rules for delayed and canceled flights could mean instant relief for you, the traveler we are following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central alongside boris sanchez, and we're watching a huge day for the presidential candidates as they try to reach as many voters as possible with vastly different messages in a race that is just as close as it gets today. former president trump is in must-win pennsylvania, just hours after taking fresh jabs at his democratic opponent and defending his vulgar and racist rally at madison square garden. >> meantime, vice president kamala harris is preparing for what could be the most important speech of her campaign. she's set to deliver her closing argument at the site of deep significance, the

ellipse just yards from the white house in washington, dc, the same place. you'll remember donald trump spoke on january 6 before a mob of his supporters stormed the capitol. we want to check in now with cnn's eva mckend and the harris campaign. eva, what more can you tell us about what the vice president and he has planned for this speech? >> well, boris and brianna, she still believes that there is a case to be made to undecided voters. so by doing this on the ellipse, it's filled with symbolism, of course, right? by the white house, give voters the opportunity to visibly imagine what it would be lying in the next three months when they are ready to welcome the president and so also the campaign is trying to get voters to remember what it was like under the former president recall that sense of chaos they will argue, they describe it as trumpnesia. some americans not remembering what it was like, but also this is a platform for her to crystallize her campaign

argument. she's out on the campaign trail making a forceful case about restoring reproductive rights. you talk it's about the opportunity economy as well, and doing all that she can to bring down costs for everyday americans. take a listen to a little bit of what this sounds like. >> and let's be clear, we are all here because we are fighting for a democracy within. we know we are all in this together. that's what we are fighting for. we can all see that donald trump is even more unstable and more unhinged and now he wants unchecked power and this time and this time, there will be no one there to stop him. >> and so you see, this is the argument she will argue that the former president is concentrated on his enemies

list while she is concerned about her to do list for the american people, the argument tonight, she will be fighting for you we'll keep our eyes on that speech. eva mckend. thank you so much meantime, former president donald trump is in pennsylvania today as he tries to distance himself and change the message or change the topic when it comes to racist comments about puerto rico that we're told at his rally in new york soon trump is going to speak to voters in allentown, an area where a significant puerto rican community. >> yeah. and that is no coincidence. that is where we find cnn's kristen holmes, kristen the trump campaign, really trying to contain the fallout from that event. the question will be, can they, what is trump saying about it today? and do we expect him to address this directly? tonight well, puerto rican leaders would like him to address it tonight. >> we have heard a number of calls from republicans and democrats from puerto rico saying that donald trump should condemn these remarks. berks that he needs to comment on the day needs to apologize for them. now we know donald trump is not one to apologize, but we

will see if he addresses them later tonight. >> as you noted, this is an area with a huge lead you know population and a big puerto rican voting population. >> in fact, when i asked the campaign how they were feeling about tonight, they came back at me with several statistics about the hispanic voters there's about the puerto rican voters in this community. now, we also know that earlier today, reporter was able to grab him quickly and ask him questions about these comments, whether or not he can donate them at whether or not he condemns them. here's what he said to this reporter. he said, i don't know him. someone put him up there talking about the comedian. i don't know who he is. >> is when pressed again on the comments, he said that he hadn't heard the comments despite the fact that they played almost incessantly on every major news network and they've been written about incessantly and then he did not take the time. >> do you condemn the remarks instead, told this reporter according to them, that he was going to win the white house. now i was told by these advisors that was his going to be his response to those comments that were made on sunday ahead of him speaking

unclear whether or not that still stands for quite some time, the last two days, there was no plan on donald trump directly addressing these remarks in any sort of way. but we also know that now they have the puerto rican shadow senator having to speak tonight. they have a slate of hispanic speakers who will be up ahead of donald trump. all of this seems to be trying to do some damage control, but until the former president addresses it himself, doesn't appear this is going on why all right. >> kristen holmes. thank you so much. let's talk about all of this joining us now, we have former hillary clinton campaign manager robby mook and republican strategist, kristen davidson. she's also a partner with axiom strategies how bad is this moment about the puerto rico joke for trump well, you need to look at it through two different audiences so no offense to cnn and the mainstream media, but the outrage headlines really aren't moving any needle. >> i think americans actually get a little exhausted with every being, okay, but he's in,

he's in a specific place so the place where is that? it has the highest puerto rican population in pennsylvania, 13% of lehigh county is puerto rican him going there today, i think in and of itself shows the importance of that community of that county in the state i don't necessarily know if a may a culpa really matters here. i mean, look, they weren't his words his speech was actually very good. it was probably a misstep to have this comedian there, especially when you have this moment momentum going into the final stage, it's make no mistake. so i bet, looking back, you know, probably wished we wouldn't have had that comedian. there wasn't a comedy show was a campaign event, but, but look, this community, the reason why this race is so tight and competitive is especially in this part of the state. i mean, this race will be decided in that lehigh valley corridor. and the reason why that is essentially tied with probably an advantage to trump is because of the issues like cost of living, like immigration,

like crime in allentown, in bethlehem, in north hampton going from philadelphia up to scranton, pennsylvania. and i think tonight the president can talk to those issues i think probably what he's mingling with people and talking with though she can probably address him if he's asked, but i don't necessarily know if this campaign, the speech tonight needs to be about what we're talking about here on the ground. they probably are some folks who want to hearhear what has to say, but overall, the issues at large aren't gonna be about what a comedian said at a rally. they're going to be about what's happening in places like allen town in bethlehem, in easton that are actually going to decide this election robbie, your thoughts should trump potentially give them mea culpa, or at least acknowledged that the remarks were racist well, he should i don't think he will. >> that's not in his character. and i think this actually plays perfectly into the vice president's hands this evening because my understanding is her speech is going to focus around the

tremendous contrast between these two candidates. but this, what we saw the other night is vintage donald trump. it's morally repugnant. it's wrong, it's false, it's distracting, and it's hurtful, and it doesn't do anything to help anyone. it just serves to whip-up a very narrow base of this country and what i'm hoping to hear from harris tonight is something very different. a positive narrative that talks about what she is specifically going to do to make a difference in people's economic lives. i think this plays perfectly to the central contrast that the harris campaign actually is trying to make in this campaign robbie, it's still a spotlight on donald trump, right? >> for something that happened at one of his events fence and for how he reacts or does not react to it. does that play against her as she is looking to have focused on her yeah. i think this is a really important point and i know this

firsthand. first of all, it's just hard to drive message when you're running against donald trump, period full stop and i was concerned that this speech could be something that was just about january 6, are just about trump but i do believe and from everything we're seeing, this speeches isn't just going to address the threat of trump, the leadership style of trump why he's a bad deal for everyday people she is going to spend time specifically laying out what she wants to do that economic agenda, that relief she wants to provide. and contrast that with donald trump's policies which are basically good for people like him. and, you know billionaires. and the top 1%. so i'm i'm certainly going to be looking for that. my understanding it's going to be there and i think that's really important because if that's not there, i don't think this is going to do what she needs to do, but everything is pointing to her going and i think it's really important. >> kristen, what do you think of the symbolism of holding the speech at the ellipse? >> well, i think robbie said it

running against donald trump is hard to take media share, right? so i think just having the event there alone is kind of trying to play that same game because we were talking about it. if she had done this speech and outside detroit or philadelphia, or atlanta, we probably wouldn't put as much significance on it, isn't a man bites dog type of event where she's going outside of her regular campaign form. and it will take some more of that media share. i think it will be important as to what she says. so if this is a dark speech, an angry speech a very ominous speech, i think that that will leave a bad taste in a lot of americans mountains, a lot of folks aren't necessarily, i think someone said trumpnesia it's not even that it's just americans have bigger problems than what happened four years ago. and so she needs to strike a chord of a positive future forward if she wants to address wife she's there and what we're doing there. and i think the biggest benefit of her doing a speech there is that we're all going to talk about it because it's something unique. and that's something that trump does very, very well. and so she can fight for

that media share time to get our message out, but that message needs to have a positive vision for because she's losing the change agent mantle just the polls cnn had out today in nevada and arizona, more people see trump as the candidate of change than kamala harris. and so she needs to get that back if she wants to close strong and she's not going to do that. if she's looking backwards it's to four years ago. >> kamala harris, but i take your point i do wonder. i'm looking to to see how it's going to go. i think it's a really interesting point you bring up. maybe she's going to do both and it'll be very interesting. i think that's probably what some democrats, we've talked to are saying she needs to be doing. both of those things. it can't just be negative about donald trump history positive. i wonder how you think kristen donald trump might react because when you have this kind of thing of apples to apples, crowd-sized to crowd size. you know, that's the kind of thing he reacts do right? >> well, i also was thinking this might be something on the harris campaign to try to get him to talk about it. i hope the president doesn't talk

about at all. i hope he focuses on being an allentown with. the? community there. what's happening to the cuny there and not even acknowledging it. i think you take the bait and so when you start fighting on your opponent's turf, that usually means your friday replace of weeks so i hope he focuses on where he's at in pennsylvania in the lehigh valley where he could win the election or rubbing quickly to you are there any potential pitfalls with harris doing this speech in front of the white house associating herself with a president that at this moment is relatively unpopular the nail on the head here. you've really gotta do check both boxes, right? so i think they did this in part to raise the stakes, to raise focus on the speech, to get the media to pay attention in a way that they might not if it feels like a wrote campaign events. but she does have to articulate that positive narrative and it's always tricky on these things at your own town hall

that she did that clip of her saying that donald trump was a fascist that drove the news. so you have to be really careful about what's that nugget that's coming out? a but i think the campaign understands all this really well. brian fallon was our communication struct on the claim campaign. he understands this challenge and so i think they're going to design this to hit both of these things to walk that tight rope and both raise the stakes on a trump presidency. and what the threat that, that opposes the american people. but also what she's going to provide. i think sometimes as democrats we forget, she's been in this race. what 90 days, three months, something like that. that's not a long time and she's had to it every day. do more work to remind people and perhaps for some people told him for the first time who she is. so i think that's a really important ingredient tonight. not the only one, but a really important one robin christa davidson, we have to leave the conversation there. >> appreciate you both.

>> and still to come president biden's diminished role in the campaign's final week, how the outgoing incumbent is further from the spotlight with just days, seven days. in fact, left in the race, was white. >> evangelicals have been a driving force behind donald trump. how turnout within that group? might be his key to victory. and later after a wave of canceled subscriptions, washington post owner jeff bezos is defending the papers decision not to endorse presidential candidate that much more coming up on cnn political analysis i have questions. now, biden said the right all stay awake why did trump pulled out of 60 minutes? >> i love pulling out losing that network of i got news for you 30 at nine on cnn my doctor's office with a filing system from the 80s has my social think of all the places that can expose your inference. >> lifelock monitors millions

biggest firebrands is free once more in speaking to the media for the first time since his it's released from prison. >> that's right. right-wing provocateurs. steve bannon, out this morning after spending the last four months behind bars for contempt of congress and cnn, sara murray has been following the bannon saga for us. sara, he also, by the way, hosted his podcast today the first time since july. what's he saying? >> yeah, i mean, he's trying to come out and hit the ground running. and last week before election day, doing his podcast, doing this press conference. as you might expect, there's plenty of criticism of kamala harris as he's trying to rev up the maga base in this last week before election day. let's just take a listen to a portion of what he had to say at his press conference, which is still ongoing >> i've been in empowered by my four months at danbury federal prison why was an empowered because i was able to listen to observe and to learn

from working class minorities after young african american men and hispanic men. and yes puerto rican men about what their lives are in what the queen of mass incarcerations, which is what they believe that kamala harris is you see there steve bannon, right out of prison, already trying to pick up the defense for donald trump and look in talking to people who have tracked his podcast and the time he's been behind bars, they said that there was a drop-off and folks tuning in when he went to federal prison, it fell off of the top of the apple charts. >> and it started creeping up again as his return was imminent and the people who watch this sort of conservative media ecosphere system say, obviously they're paying attention to what steve bannon does between now and election day, but they're also paying attention to how his rhetoric evolves. if it looks like donald trump is coming up short

on election day, bannon was one of the very prominent early voices of stop the steal and 20 a 20, he spreads a lot of election denialism just even in that, even in the hours he's been out, he's been suggesting democrats are trying to steal the election and his co hosts who were filling in and the time he was behind bars have been spreading a lot of that as well. and so that's the concern from the bannon megaphone and the maga megaphone is that this election? hi wasn't continues to get spun up even more now that he's out quite the shoutout from someone who's been criticized as a white nationalist shouting out minority men that he met while incarcerated, that apparently have inspired him, including, we should note puerto rican man, which the trump campaign seems to be concerned about right now. >> sara murray, thanks so much for bringing that to us. thanks. >> so president biden is in baltimore this afternoon and he is touting the inflation reduction act, notably his solo stop comes seven days before the election. we can't say it enough. we're one week out people and now there's new reporting that the president's role in the final stretch of

the race has been moved even further out of the spotlight. >> so recent gaffes by biden prompted a range of responses from iran to outright anger from some harris county in pain aides. let's go to cnn's kayla tausche, who is in baltimore traveling with the president killer. what are you hearing about this well, boris, we've learned that the harris campaign's slow walked some of biden's campaign appearances last week in the wake of some of those gaps, notably in new hampshire when he suggested to campaign workers and what was supposed to be a routine stop that they should lock him up in reference to former president trump. >> and then in arizona where he made a reference to former congresswoman gabby giffords, who survived a shooting at a campaign event in the past tense. after that biden aides tell me that their main goal now in the homestretch of the race's one simple thing and that is to do no harm so that's why president biden is in the blue maryland today to take the wraps off of a three-billion-dollar investment from one of his landmark laws to update port infrastructure.

it's an investment that will benefit the poor parts of philadelphia, of detroit, and of savannah, georgia. but the biden team chose to announce it here in baltimore instead, just after his speech today, biden stopping for ice cream and he was asked why he won't be in attendance for vice president harris's big symbolic speech at the ellipse tonight. here's how the president responded president's speech right there on the list. is this for her says her night. >> what do you expect to hear out of her closing message from vice president has told confidence that he believes that he could still beat former president trump, and that he's coming around to the limitations that his age

presents him. >> but he does feel a deep sense of responsibility in this race and a desire to continue stumping for harris, but his scheduled this week it's hardly that of a surrogate in high demand will be making solo stops to philadelphia and to scranton. the harris campaign for its part says that it appreciates his involvement, the white house says that the best thing he can do is continue being a good president. but certainly aides that we've spoken to boris and brianna our even surprised at how diminished his role has become, even as, as though it's something that they expected, but they're surprised at just how much it's shrunk in these final weeks, guys, notable, they won't be side-by-side before election day or at least that's where it seemed that's right now. >> kayla tausche. thank you so much for the update now, the second installment of cnn's new digital series titled american background. it's a deep dive into the final months of the 2024 presidential campaign from cnn's tom foreman, his focus today is on the powerful forces propelling donald trump and tom is with us live on this tom, you're looking at white evangelical christians who have been a driving force behind

trump's political success. >> what do you expect this cycle? >> if you look at the religious communities out there and we have a graphic here to show you this, the real powerful driving forces you're a really two things on the christian side. the idea that there are catholic, catholics who generally ten democratic, but on the issue of abortion have pushed toward trump's side there. so you see catholics and 52%, 47% there protestant, 61% to 37% that is very heavily driven by the notion that white evangelical protestant are very much in trump's camp. jewish voters and unaffiliated voters and affiliated from religion, they all go to harris. there but, but those people, white evangelical christians huge driving force for trump all the way around. and a bit of a warning sign for him right now because he has vacillated on this issue of a national abortion ban, trying to sort of have it both ways, say it's up to the states and i will veto it and yet kind of winking and nodding that has some people on that side maybe, maybe in some

polls softening a little bit toward him. if they don't show up, he's got a problem. >> you have the bellicose rhetoric convictions, allegations of sexual impropriety et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. and yet why do evangelicals stick with him? what are you hearing about? why it seems so counterintuitive really, there's so many things he doesn't seem to fly in the face of what they believe really important finding by pew after 2016, however there were people before then who migrated toward white evangelical churches. remember, in early 1970s, 90% of americans called himself a christians, dropped down to about 65% in the 90s and will probably go below 50% in coming decades. they grew in number after trump won and the indication that pew found and others found is that people were taking their politics for trump. and saying, oh, that makes me a white evangelical. their politics. we're leading

to their fates. so there are a number one belief is i believe in trump, that partially explains why there are other beliefs do not override that, at least for some of them, that said there are many white evangelicals out there who are very devout, who very much believed in the overall tenants of their faith. and i think to some degree are conflicted about their support for trump but still feel that he is better for their overall community so this is really a vote to watch, watch the white evangelical see what they do. do they show up? do they stick with trump or do some of them say? >> i've just had enough tom foreman fascinating series, battleground america. >> thank you so much. american battleground. my bad american voter american battleground three more episodes and then i guess depending on what happens, maybe we'll keep writing a lot to say excellent. >> all right, tom, thank you so much. and when we come back, washington post owner jeff bezos defending his decision to block the newspaper from endorsing a presidential candidate is thousands reportedly cancel their subscription over the move. now

another news paper doing the same, we'll have that next it all comes down to this. we can now make a major projection. >> do we only cnn can bring it to you election night in america, special coverage begins tuesday, november 5 at four on cnn stay tuned to learn more about this limited time offer from renewal by anderson when it comes to our homes, we only want the very best, particularly when it comes to choosing replacement windows and doors. >> hi, i'm an romer thrilled to be with nick from renewal by anderson. >> thanks. and we believe that everyone deserves to have windows and doors. that look great. stand the test of time and don't break the bank and when are unpredictable weather, i got to tell you quality in durability super important absolutely. and that's where our fiber composite material truly shines. it's twice as strong as vinyl, so it's warranted not to crack or rot.

endorse a candidate for president. >> that's decision follows similar announcements from the la times and the washington post washington post owner jeff bezos, penned an op-ed defending his position after internal backlash, severe backlash led to multiple staff resignations and the cancelation of thousands of subscriptions. the paper social media team also posted a tiktok video mocking their boss's decision don't publish it. >> why not? so as you may know, i'm a billionaire. yes. and many of us billionaires own multiple companies. yeah. we know you own the washington post and blue origin, which happens to have billions of dollars in cloud computing contracts with the federal government. so you're worried about retribution if trump wins. i didn't say that but many experts have pointed to that. yes cnn media correspondent hadas gold is here with more on the fallout. >> hadas, what more can you tell us? >> i mean, kudos to the washington post. dave jorgensen and their social media team for being willing to put that out there and the washington post,

i should say, has been doing some really good reporting on itself on what's happening here and what's happening with their owner, jeff bezos. jeff bezos's op-ed that was published last night is still one of the most read piece is on the washington post website, which goes to show you the interest level that people have in what happened behind this endorsement. what i've been hearing from people at washington post and what's been also published publicly, including by their media critic erik wemple for people who are calling it a cowardly, calling it unprincipled, saying hey, if they had just gone forward with their planned endorsement of vice president kamala harris, no one would really have paid attention, or of course, if they had announced this non-endorsement strategy months ago, apparently, jeff bezos first apparently expressed doubt about this. again, it would have been a story briefly, but nobody it would have been talking about on the talking about the timing here, others are claiming that this op-ed is some sort of distraction tactic, a way to get us to talk about the journalism state of journalism and distract from other questions that like that video showed about questions about potential business interests. but jeff bezos in his op-ed,

made the case that not endorsing is endorsing contributes to perceptions of bias in the media that the trust in the media by the public is that all times low, and that the post he says is increasingly talking to just a group of certain elites. he says, 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. he did address the timing. he said this was inadequate planning and you wish it had been made earlier and i have reporting because according to a meeting that the opinions editor held yesterday, jeff bezos first express skepticism about the endorsement back in september and david shipley, the opinions editor, spent those remaining weeks trying to convince him to move forward with the endorsement until last week when jeff bezos blocked the endorsement. david shipley told his staff, i failed. he said he failed and trying to convince them to continue with the tradition of endorsement as a result, we now have three members of the washington post's editorial board who have stepped down from the editorial board. that's nearly one-third of the ten member board. now they're all keeping

their jobs. the washington post, but they've stepped down as a form of protest to this decision. and as you noted, we are hearing this is according to npr, that something of upwards of 200,000 subscribers have canceled their subscription to the washington post after this announcement was made, the washington post has so far not commented on these numbers, but it is notable that they are not denying them guys pivoting hadas to the subject of intense speculation over the last few weeks whether vice president harris would appear on joe rogan's podcast. the way that former president trump did last week. joe rogan has spoken out about why it hasn't happened yet, right? >> yeah yeah. rogan is one of the most popular podcasters currently around right now. and so doing a show on his podcast would be very important, especially because his audience skews very much young and very much male. and he finally posted saying for the record, the harris campaign has not passed on doing the podcast. he said they offered a date for tuesday and i would have had to

traveled to see her and they only wanted to do it an hour and he felt the best for me was to do it in austin. i should note, though, that he says this is not necessarily means that they won't do one his interview with former president donald trump has 35 million views on youtube. it makes it rogan's most watched episode of the year to date. that's according to youtube. so it could be very valuable well, for the vice president to sit down with joe rogan guys. >> yeah, that's a lot of use. hadas gold. thank you so much coming up. social media's effect on the presidential election. millions of course heading their news from influencers, but there's a big mystery surrounding some of these posts race for the ages here with nibbles, the hamster jumping out to a ten point advantage over jaws to goldfish. what the heck is going on here? >> can be done killed. >> it's a decent assessment. >> prices are going up everywhere. did you know that the costs associated with auto repairs cost americans on average $7,500. and let's face

helium, up, we'll send you a free book to answer questions you may have called now and will come to you, aidan i'm ready to 14000 probably flooded with political ads right now. and part of it is due to new partnerships with influencers is the campaigns shift their strategies to reach more voters. among those influence there's, is youtuber jake paul, who posted a video pretending to square up with former president trump the post got more than 1.5 million likes. but did you know content creators aren't required to disclose if they've been paid for political endorsements cnn's claire duffy is following this trend clear. how do we know if these posts are true expressions of support or rather paid endorsements. >> yeah, boris, that's the big question because there is no law requiring that content creators disclose if they've been paid for a political post that's different from most branded content on social media. the federal trade commission requires that influencers disclose if they've

been paid to promote a brand or a product, the federal election commission also requires that for political tv ads, you see that paid for by disclosure. but there's this sort of regulatory gap where influencers are not required to disclose if they've been paid for political posts. and this comes at a time when we know, as you said, the campaigns are increasingly relying on influencers to help spread their message. the campaigns have not said if they themselves are paying influencers and i say, i should say that jake paul's team told me that he was not paid for that post, although it's hard to tell because no labels are required, but we know that there are political action committees, other groups that are are shelling out millions of dollars to work with influencers as just one example of the democratic pac the priorities usa and the voter advocacy group. somos votantes recently announced a nearly 3 million campaign where they're paying influencers to help get out the vote and you know, it's interesting and sort of tricky for social media users who are having to navigate this because it is hard to tell, is

this influencer endorsement that i'm seeing in my feed, somebody is genuine expression of support or have they been paid to promote that point of view? and it's hard to tell because these labels are not required. some of the social media platforms have tried to institute putting their own rules around this. asking folks to disclose these things, but there is still a lack of transparency clare duffy. >> thank you so much for breaking that down for us now to some of the other headlines we're watching this hour, rescue teams are searching for survivors after a ten story hotel tell collapsed in argentina this morning. at least one person was killed of denying others are unaccounted for officials say the hotel had been undergoing renovations, which it was paused in august over permit issues. also, back in the u.s michigan quarterback jack total is retiring from football after suffering a fifth concussion. subtle says after deep reflection and conversations with family doctors and loved ones, he's decided to prioritize his health. the twenty-five-year-ol d as you now hopes to pursue a

money in incident a bird change, you know, this is really huge for travelers because we have all been there your flight gets canceled, but the airline gives you a travel credit or a voucher? >> not exactly what you want, but those days are officially over. this is known as the automatic reprint refund provision. and the department of transport protection says it fully went into effect yesterday, forcing airlines to give you your money back without you having to ask, here

are the conditions. not only does this apply if your flight is canceled, it also applies to delays, refunds are triggered automatically when a domestic flight is more than three hours late, you get a refund for an international flight of its more than six hours late. there is one little catch here though this is the fine print of an airline rebooked you on a different flight or offers you some other compensation. you must walk, you cannot double-dip here. now, trade transportation secretary pete buttigieg first announced back in april airlines initially fought back against this, calling this much the complicated for them to implement. but now the industry's top lobby tells me it supports this even president joe biden posted about this on x. who is that handsome reported that he retweeted. >> he calls it and he's addicted to the likes folks folks who will be flying to visit loved ones this holiday season, you can almost hear him saying that hard to believe that we're only 30 days until thanksgiving day.

>> also the start of the challenges of airlines operating in the wintertime. that's when cancellations really begin to creep on up. but the good news is the problems that led to mass cancellations in 2021 and 2022 are now the rearview and the cancellation rate for flights. now down to about 1.6% of all flights this year. but never say never, you got to remember the crowdstrike outage caused delta to cancel about 7,000 flights back in july that affected about 1 million passengers. so it can really change on a dime. i've ever say never that canceled get their money back. >> this is really interesting. if you pay with a credit card, you can get your money back within about seven business days, according to this new rule, if you paid through some other way, i can't really think of another way to be honest, but if you pay it with another form of payment, you get your money back within 20 calendar. does the whole thing here is that this is automatically triggered. you get your money back right away. it's essentially cash refund, which is huge for travelers, huge for consumer advocates, you never paid for a flight with a sock full of pennies
