control, the white house trying to clean up after joe biden in remarks mark the republicans are comparing to hillary clinton's line about deplorables also they've already started cheating in lancaster they've cheated sound familiar. >> donald trump already pushing claims of voter fraud, laying the groundwork to challenge the results. again. >> and later >> victory runs. through philly and we win pennsylvania we get a wind all the crucial commonwealth in our battleground we had to pennsylvania v must-win state. >> it's all tied up right now >> 6:00 a.m. here on the east coast. >> a live look at raleigh, north carolina. another battleground

>> i'm kasie >> it's wonderful to have you with us six days to go. >> and this morning we're hitting a major milestone, more than 50 million votes have been cast. >> and with time running short with donald trump and kamala harris say right now, could be the last impression that many voters take with them into the voting booth. >> america was born when we rested freedom from a petty tyrant across the generations only to see us submit to the will of another petty tyrant. we are not a vessel for the schemes of wannabe dictators that was the vice president standing in front of the white house. >> lot of stagecraft in imagery there on the ellipse. and that was of course the same spot where trump addressed his supporters on january 6 before a mob attempted to overturn his electoral defeat. even as she hammered trump, harris made

explicit appeals to patriotism and bipartisanship been consumed with too much division, chaos, and mutual distrust and it can be easy then to forget a simple truth it doesn't have to be this way we have to stop pointing fingers and start locking arms. >> it is time to turn the page on the drama and the conflict the fear and division harris, his message of unity, however, was somewhat complicated by this comment from president biden during a virtual appearance at a get out the vote event just the other day, a speaker at his rally called puerto rico, a floating island of garbage. >> well, let me tell you something. i don't i don't know the puerto rican that i know or puerto rico where i'm

in my home state of delaware they're good, decent, honorable people. the only garbage i see floating out there is his supporter's, his, his demonization seen as i'm unconscionable and it's un-american, it's totally contrary to everything we've done, everything we've been the president later tried to clarify the remarks. he tweeted that he was referring to, quote, the hateful rhetoric about puerto rico spewed by a trump supporter at sunday's rally. the white house. even released a transcript claiming that what biden was calling garbage was the supporters that is singular within a apostrophe s. one supporters, quote, demonization of latinos the trump campaign quickly seized on the comment they sent this fundraising email saying, quote, first lady, first hilary called you are deplorable, then they called you a fascist and moments ago, kamala's boss, biden called you garbage at a rally in allentown, pennsylvania last night trump responded once again, attacking his former opponents, mental

fitness remember hillary, she said deplorable. and then she said irredeemable, right. but she said deplorable. that didn't work out. garbage, i think is worse, right. but he doesn't know you have to please forgive him please forgive him. for he not knowing what he said all right. >> our panel is here. alex thompson, cnn political analyst, national political reporter for axios, mark preston, cnn senior political analyst, karen finney, cnn political commentator, and a former senior adviser to hillary clinton's 2016 campaign. and kristen soltis anderson, cnn political commentator, republican pollster and strategist welcome to all of you. thank you so much for being here this morning alex, i got to start with you because we were just sitting here yesterday talking about the tensions between the harris and biden camps in terms of what exactly they're looking for from the sitting president in these closing days here and the reality is, of course, biden's team trying very hard to clean this up. i think they recognize the damage that has been done. what's been the reaction from harris's team?

>> yeah. well, no one here at this table knows what joe biden men, unless someone here has talked to joe biden when he made those when he made those comments. and the sad reality is because this president is no longer able to coherently and consistently articulate a message and that's just the sad reality. that is why he's no longer the nominee. because at the debate, we all saw that very clearly. and it's also why kamala harris is not want him on the trail. this is a guy that just last week referred to former representative gabby giffords in the past tense. she's very much alive is a person that last week said that he wanted to throw donald trump in jail, and then very quickly tried to backtrack and said he just politically meant to lock him up and we are in this sad scenario where we're clearly joe biden and the aides around him, they want to make him feel oh better. want him to be able to be inserted into this race that see kamala harris's electric potential election as an affirmation of his record.

but that kamala harris does not want him to be inserted and would prefer that he basically be absent this last weekend selection i'm of the mindset that if you say you might as well embrace it. >> and i do think that that's a problem for strategists over here shocking that i would say that no into it, but realistically, like i do think if he said listen, yes, i do mean all those racist supporters of donald trump. yeah, i do think that they're terrible, i think that people would look at the democratic party a little bit different i think i do think that the democratic party in general doesn't look like they are strong enough and they will always back-off of things. and i think that when joe biden backs off saying what he really believes, i don't think that's a good look. >> well, but kristen and isn't this been one of the fundamental issues that democrats have faced in trying to run against donald trump and in fighting some of it dealing

with the cultural divisions in our country, the idea that i mean there are a lot of people out there who don't feel like, well, i might support trump. i may have my own reasons for doing that. maybe alienated by a remark like there is nothing more powerful for someone that to hear a compliment someone likes me and donald trump's stronghold on republican voters is because he came around and said, the world tells you that you're racist. the world tells you that your backward the world tells you that inner, your neanderthals. >> and i don't think that i like you i like you, i respect you and i want to make sure that you have power and that's why he's been able to so strongly hold onto republicans. >> that's why this comment is so potentially damaging. it is bulletin board material. it is the sort of thing where you go see they really don't like me and it motivates you in the same way that deplorables did in the same way that for mitt romney, 47% only 47% of the country is contributing that kind of comment in the same way that the puerto rican garbage comments from madison square garden, when people feel like that candidate and their side doesn't like me, you will go

to the mat for the side that you think does well i mean, karen, one of the things that harris has been explicitly doing here in the closing days is to try try to bring more people into the tent to give republicans permission to come on board and she has been actually very careful to not talk this way. >> i think this is so absurd. you guys if we're going to sit here and compare crazy statements by old white guys. let's please do that because let's talk about what donald trump went on to talk about, right when he talks about shithole countries and he talks about rapists and murderers, and how and accusing him of putting children in danger in springfield because they're eating cats and dogs. and when we're talking me, joe biden, misspoke, he said something stupid. he's not at the top of the ticket. donald trump is at the top of the ticket he has been racist misogynist, sexist. i mean, he's been attacking everybody for everything. so do you think when hours so i'm just saying but to do that, if

we're going to make a list, we talk about all those things. >> i think it was on the stand with you when those things happen. we talked about them at the time they happened last night. i mean, the point is they believe all the time of day. does this thing that biden said not matter. i think it's a little absurd to put so much attention on it when he's not at the top of the ticket i'm sure it's going to matter because the trump campaign is going to make it matter. >> but it has to my mind, there's no comparison to that to based on the kinds of things that donald trump has been saying, all campaign, every day, every single event that he does didn't even apologize for any of it it's damaging because they're playing pin the apostrophe on the state let me give spider, as he was saying, supporters apostrophe you know, i'm saying that timer i'm saying it's absurd also because by the way, steve bannon, fresh out of jail yesterday, started talking about election sabotage and violence and fomenting

violence. >> and we're talking about where an apostrophe goes. are you joking? >> know, well, the white house, this document possibly guys in granted tens of millions and backed perhaps the majority of americans feel the exact same way that you do that like honestly, this does not matter to their vote. yes. i think the reason why a lot of harris aides i talked to last night were very frustrated because they felt like she delivered an incredible speech. it was like a great backdrop, a huge excited crowd. and then and why was joe biden even on this zoom at this exact time? like why, why even risk it that i think that's the real frustration and it has some harris can i completely get the frustrate, some restriction in the political context of yes, i walked out of that speech, which was fantastic and was like, oh, you're kidding. but at the same time it's let's compare all white guy statements and i'll have that conversation any day. well, so i want to to before we wrap up this conversation, part of why we may we were talking about this is because in these final days, absolutely anything can matter and kristen, you have

this new piece in the new york times i think it underscores why ever everything has the possibility to matter because you say, i have to admit i laughed when i saw that donald trump and kamala harris were tied 48 to 48 among likely voters in the final new york times-sienna college national poll. despite untold some spent on advertising a cavalcade of wild events, felony convictions, assassination attempts. the incumbent president withdrawing from the race here we sit on this razor's edge over the past few days, all of these other national news outlets have showed released polls. the same story, but they don't actually tell the same story. several of them show a dead heat beneath the surface. they diverge in how they arrive at that result and we still don't know if we're looking at a realignment, realignment or a reboot there are different names narratives one can discern about the new political story that's about to be told. can you explain that? and how this matters to the conversation? >> i would also add i laughed and cnn's polling came out and i think showed at 47, 47 day was like, okay. but if you look under the surface, there's one of the polls, the new york times poll that really shows that we are facing a

realignment this election, that we are going good to see a gender gap explode, a gap between voters that have a bachelor's degree and don't explode with republicans building a new coalition that looks a little more diverse, has more young people in it that would be a really interesting development. >> our politics at the same time, i think it's cbs poll tells a story that's basically this is a reboot. that this is harris sampling the obama coalition back again. it's going to be supercharged. yes, there will be a gender gap, but the real story will be that harris put the obama rebooted the obama coalition, and we still don't know which of those stories is going to play out. >> so, so what happens a decade from now, because i have children that are 19, 20-years-old. they don't consider themselves democrats. they don't consider themselves house republicans. they probably align more with the democratic party is my guess, but they don't seem like they're going to be party stalwarts 1020 years from now. is there a third party that comes along? >> which door do you think is right? >> i think it's more likely to be the realignment, but i am curious to see, can trump

actually put up the numbers that he's getting in some of these polls would say young voters, i'm a little skeptical of that. we'll see would just always remind us if the polls were right, hillary would be in a second term and we went ahead a red wave and we sat together the weekend before and you send the red wave this coming in. >> i said i'm telling you, women are not taken it, so i mean, i think i think it's hard when so little league says get off the pollercoaster. i think we have to take every poll with a big grain of salt and realized, i don't think, i think part of what's going on with young people, which we can't even measure, 600,000. young people have registered they're not being measured by any pollster since, since brittney we got our famous endorsements, we're not measuring those people and they don't like to align. that's part of what this younger generation is doing. their not wanting to be part of either party, frankly, well, i'll just say we very much appreciate the work that you do. kristen i know you guys have had a verite pollsters in general have had such a difficult time and we have seen realignments and changes move so quickly. i mean, my big question really is, is there something

fundamental that everyone is missing altogether that may show that our understanding here in the, especially the first post-dobbs election is that going to be it'd be different and potentially drive outcomes. alright, we're going to take a break coming up here on cnn this morning, stoking fears of voter fraud. donald trump already floating baseless claims about cheating and a key battleground state plus the successful rocket launch for china, a crucial step in its mission to the moon. the astrophysicist neil degrasse tyson here to talk about the new space race and battleground be all eyes on pencil savannah. the key voting bloc that republicans are trying to win back >> we have a sense of humor and because we have this you are a lot of us do not care about that comment and we took it is because a lot of it is true political analysis. you have questions.

joint oceana's wave approaching advocates who are making a difference to move >> 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 going to be ours by a lot and then a 3-0 two or whatever it was in the morning, all of a sudden they're finding all sorts of stuff in pennsylvania there were 205,000 more ballots cast then there were voters. how do you get around that was how about pennsylvania where they throw the poll watchers out that was donald trump both before and after the 2020 elections. >> sowing doubt about the integrity of the vote. and now the former president claiming without evidence that two pennsylvania counties her already experiencing voter fraud they've already started

cheating in lancaster. >> they've cheated we caught him with 2,600 no we caught em cold 2,600 votes think of this, think of this and every vote was written by the same person. i wonder how that happened state and county officials in pennsylvania are trying to reassure voters that they are investigating any alleged issues with ballots and protected i think the integrity of the election process i understand that donald trump wants to again, use the same playbook where he tries to, you know, create chaos and stoke division and fear about our system but again, we will have a free and fair, safe, and secure election in pennsylvania. and the will of the people will be respected and protected so it's important to point out that the issues that have been identified in pennsylvania relate to voter registrations, not to ballots as the former

president was saying, there. >> i mean, mark preston, we are already seeing we know there are legal groups in the background looking at potential challenges. we have seen the president already, the former president's start to talk about cheating in an interview with on fox news radio, he was pressed by fox hosts to say, where are you worried about cheating? which state? and he said, all of them. what does that mean for i mean, you're going to be one of our people working really hard behind the scenes and on the air on election night. what does that mean? >> it means probably the story, the most potent story for us to tell in the coming days is to be as transparent as possible about what is happening right now with the ballots that are being collected to be as transparent as possible about when we think that we're going to be able to count the votes. if you see, i think the new york times today, the washington post today, i think i cnn cnn.com today. all have stories about explaining how the states are counting and when we think we will actually get there bo, the reason why that's so important is because look, donald trump just go out

and said something. and just because he says that it's true and his support is believe him. >> well, this because there's a lot of people that believe what he says. no, ma'am. >> for say look, just going back to the difference between him and joe biden, is that there is a double standard. donald trump can go out and say the most ludicrous things, the most absurd things, and get away with it. joe biden couldn't at that time yeah. when do you think we'll know pennsylvania on election night? >> what what are the scenarios god, you're going to clip this and get me in trouble. >> i mean, look, you know, i don't remember that it on cnn.com. >> no, no, no, no no, i understand look, i mean, there's a good chance we're not even going to know that. >> and i did a good chance we could know early in the morning. but the question is, it's not just pennsylvania. what's going to happen like georgia, we expect to come quickly, but we may not see the same thing and wisconsin, i'm just saying that like this is probably going to go to friday. perhaps saturday. >> and again, just because it takes a while to count all the it's just not mean that they are being encountered incorrect, incorrectly, fraudulently. >> all right. straight ahead

here on cnn this morning, kamala harris won't get the joe rogan experience, why the podcast host claims he refused just an offer from the harris campaign to appear on his show. and an electoral milestone more than 50 million ballots already cast. we'll dig into the issues driving voters security and medicare and your drug prices. i don't think men should be in women's sports, women's rights is huge. >> i think the economy is also a big thing eastern can to riva support your brain health mary janet hey, eddie. now, fraser, frank, frank, brad. >> how are you for order to seven brain health indicators, including memory, object, your mail for exclusive or even deals. >> dare to come pay their bombs renegade first, to competitive mirrors, similar said, both have my were reclining seats,

on health. i'm going to let him go wild on the food. >> i'm going to let him go wild on medicines robert f kennedy, going quote, wild, the former independent candidate, endorsed donald trump back in august and is now campaigning for him. under the banner of quote, make america healthy again kennedy has long been a proponent of baseless anti-vaccine conspiracy theories and made numerous false attacks on the safety and efficacy of vaccines during his run for office. now we're getting an idea of what kennedy's role in a potential trump administration could look like? >> president trump, his promise maye is as control of the public health agencies which are hhs. and its other agencies others. and then also the u.s usda which is, which is key to making america healthy. >> so, we, have elon musk as

government auditor and potentially rfk jr. in charge of all the agencies that he outlined, right there alex thompson is this a case where i mean, if donald trump were to win this election, we should believe him that rfk jr. is going to be in charge of all these agencies that deal with all of these things that rfk jr. thinks are basically baseless and worthless. i meaning donald trump has a very long record of promising, it, promised things that seem incredulous that actually trying to do them that being said, you know, in terms of in in-charge hss that senate confirmation hearing would be would be fascinating. i don't i don't necessarily know can i get the boats there but rfk jr. is going to have a significant role within these agencies in a trump white house, that part is has been made very clear. it is interesting in a political sense, in one way you could argue, rfk jr. is making inroads among sort of like the crunchy left for lack of a better term this is why we currency hit a long track record is environmentalists on

the left like there are some of the anti-vax crowd was on the left. >> it was not just like a right-wing thing that being said, while doing this, he also manage it. he could still further separate the suburbanites, those person that's in the middle that are already wary of trump. >> yeah. so i just want to remind everyone, i actually interviewed rfk jr. when he was still running. this was back in december of last year and this is what he said about vaccinations. watch it is safe and effective so you did say it. >> do you still believe it oh, here's what here's what i here's what i say. >> first of all, i'm not anti vaccine. >> how is that statement not anti-vaccine well, i can say right now there is no better because it medicine for cancer answer to that safe and effective it doesn't mean i'm like cats, all medicines i've been fighting for years to get park here we out of fish nobody calls me any fish wow. now that

jigawa well, head on the top of your guard, we might okay person. >> i mean do does. this help trump so there is this interesting crossover of in particular are women who their politics is not necessarily the thing that are the most interested in, but they've can been concerned for a long time about things like chemicals in food, et cetera. >> for whom rfk and his acolytes have become a rallying thing if it's interesting watching these left-right divides around a whole range of voters, not trusting big institutions, whether it is not trusting, in one case, the media and some cases food producers. i mean, remember how the right at a time, like made fun of michelle obama for pushing like we want to have more healthy, organic foods in schools. i mean, things have really changed a lot in the last ten 15 years, where now suddenly you have republicans who use to trust maybe business now, don't democrats who are now not trusting other institutions like the decline in trust across the board of

creating these strange bipartisan bedfellows. and this is one example of it for sure. alright, so ahead here on cnn this morning, famed astrophysicist neil degrasse eisen joins us in studio. he has a new book, shedding light on some cosmic questions about our universe. and it's going to be wonderful to take a little break from politics to talk about it all plus nikki haley not backing down from supporting donald trump also not back in the bromance stuff. i mean, it borders on edgy to the point that it's going to make women uncomfortable the fun experienced. the cnn magic wall in the palm of your hand get live results expert insights and an immersive election experience. the magic wall, find it in the cnn app today i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial

colonizing mars elon musk is been campaigning every single day in pennsylvania landed last week, i saw that rocket land. i say this guy, if that's his, i got to call him. they said was that years he said that was fine. that's soccer came back down just coming in and it's going to crash. i'm sorry oh, no it's gone right next to the gantry is coming down at an angle. >> i don't like that. it's not good but what the hell do i know it's up to ilan, not me, but it's coming and then all of a sudden you see the fire and the jets go on the bottom are safire's ripon rep. bag and then it came in those beautiful arms came in, they hug it like you were hugging a little beautiful baby

astrophysicist neil degrasse, tyson author of the new book, merlin store the universe of traveler's guide to blue moons, black holes, martin the stars and everything far. >> sir, i am so grateful to have you on the periphery to thank you for being here. >> honestly, it's a welcome i would say it's a respite from the campaign trail, but i guess it's not actually your spaces everywhere for you. but yes, they're they're connected points. >> yeah. so this is this is this one what's your first book and you've updated? >> yeah. yeah. my very first white wrote in graduate school. actually, and it was turned out to be the proving ground of all the different ways, even to this day that i communicate science to the public. quirky, fun merlin is a fictional character that i created to be this this, this tutor reverse and berlin has been around. it's not, it's not the, our theory and merlin, like more than one joe in the world, more than one 11. but rarely is from another galaxy visiting earth

and is known everybody. so people have asked questions. i don't quite understand how gravity works and so merlin would recall a conversation with isaac newton, okay so it was a front and my brother who is my artist brother illustrated it yeah, it's just a it's a so how would merlin explain you on musk and his view of colonizing mars oh, so berlin is wise a so you can say, let's colonize mars, but you have to ask, well, what's motivating you to do that? >> and we went to the moon, not because we're americans and were explorers know, we were scared, witless front because of russia, the soviet union at the time. we got to the moon, by the way, the clip that you showed apollo 17 but we go to the moon, we look over our shoulder and the russians aren't there. we stopped the program. we had an apollo 18 ready to fly. and now it's in captivity in huntsville, alabama. you can see all the rocket ready parts, but we stopped going once we saw that

the motivating driver was no longer there to just say you want to go to go i don't see that as we can go, geopolitically that if there is some force operating, what china says, we want to put military bases on whatever something that will prompt us, how well that's some of what's going on now so i have another set of sound from donald trump and elon musk. >> i don't think they're directly in the forms of questions, but i think merlin could take them as such mean, there's no reason not to think that mars and all these planets don't have life. >> maybe the aliens will come visit us, maybe, maybe there are here right now. i haven't seen any like sort of green aliens with antennas on the head or anything like that? and maybe there are, they just very subtle okay. >> so elie's with antennas. the only people who imagined them that way, or those who remember the antennas on tv sets, the rabbit. >> remember back when that was how you communicated through space are elie's that we drew

had antennas so that's an old-fashioned way to think about aliens. he, ilan is wondering whether they've already visited us i'm pretty sure have had visited us that they ran home concluding that there's no sign of intelligent life and just telling you for you because obviously everyone is wondering, certainly lot of viewers of this program and others who is going to win the election. >> and the economist, okay, so serious publication, the economist wonders what astro, astrology, astral loggers is that who said, astrologers astrologers our predicting the result of americans election, quote donald trump's horoscope illuminates the laptop screen. he's going to enter the peak of his life in april 2025, halina woods it professional astrologer tells your correspondent a pisces. as for kamala harris, jupiter and saturn are lining in her favor. if she does win i do think she might carry out two terms said ms woods is there anything to this if astrologers had power

as much power as they want, we would still be living in caves suggesting that the universe cares about us on a level where the planets are trying to fix outcomes of your lives, of your loved life, of your financial life, of your political engagements that means you think you're in the center of the universe. and these people have not seen how big the universe is. and how small we are to make such claims. so you don't read horoscopes whole, there's a whole, there's a whole section of the merlin book where that's brilliant, addresses this topic that's why i asked her 13 constellations not 12 zodiac, by the way, also fair point yeah. >> look, i have one serious question for you and it goes to what we had heard from rfk jr. there. do you are you concerned about the way americans are willing to believe or not believe science in the day and age is actually in the wake of

covid. >> it would be the extent to which sciences either denied or rejected or ignored will be the unraveling of an informed democracy at a time when when. so much of who and what we, our health, our wealth, and our security pivots on the advances in science that surround us to the extent that that's ignored or rejected, we just give up. just forget our leadership in the world and let us watch the rest of the world takeover because they embrace science in ways is that scares me here. the way i see people talking about in reacting to it all right, well, it's a fascinating book, a fascinating to have you on the show. >> come back time. >> i really appreciate maybe next time i'll have a real object. you get your mug. i'm sorry about that. hopefully will actually have cnn this morning mugs. i think i told you in the break, i'm indecisive all right. don't forget this new book is merlin story of the universe. a traveler's guide to blue moons, black holes, mars, stars, and everything far. it's out now,

i highly recommend it all right, so coming up on cnn this morning, battleground beat the pennsylvania boat vote has been critical. this entire race. now of course the stakes are even higher for one key voting bloc, there usually don't plan to vote because it's always the same year to me, it's always the same thing. but in this case, yes developments overnight, we're bringing you the news, the whole league all leads up to this. the stories at this center of your day wildfires burning across the west. now cnn new central, next, take airborne. >> it has seven nutrients to help fill those holes. your immune system holds supporting nutrients our most complete support yet, body ready. >> she is a triumph. it's like forrest gump, only wiser in deeper, in own forget the bull

. >> puerto rico republican chair is demanding a trump apology for his rallies, racist remarks, and the trump campaign is struggling to contain puerto rico october surprise here's

all pro tip. when running for president, trying not to october surprise yourself pushing an old lady into the river and incentive to cnn there's been outrage on both sides of the aisle over the island of garbage, joke that was made at trump's rally at the garden. >> but will it actually sway voters at the ballot box? the answer to that question is key when it comes to the critical commonwealth of pennsylvania, the state home to hundreds of thousands of puerto ricans and some puerto rican voters made their voices heard yesterday, protesting outside trump's rally in allentown trump making something close to an apology while also brushing aside the jokes potential effect on the vote i have no idea who was never saw, never heard of him. and don't want to hear of him. but i have no idea. they put a comedian in which everybody does you throw comedians and

you don't. vet them and go crazy. it's nobody's fault. i don't know who it is. i don't even know who put him in and i can imagine it's a big deal. i've done more for puerto rico than any president. you wish she wasn't there? >> yeah. i mean, i don't know if it's a big deal or not, but i don't want anybody making nasty jokes is stupid jokes and probably he shouldn't have been there. yeah. >> most campaigns actually in the final days, at least the ones that i've covered do actually get the speaker's that they put up before their candidates. >> but hey, joining us now, democratic congressman brendan boyle of pennsylvania, congressman, wonderful to have you on the show. >> thanks for being here. >> yeah, thanks for having me, kasie so let's start with how this remark and you saw trump sort of not really. >> you characterize what you think that was from him and apology, not an apology. there's clearly some acknowledgement from the campaign that this is a problem they had people speaking spanish up on the stage at the rally in allentown at that

campaign, did distance itself from this comment what impact are you seeing with latino voters on the ground in pennsylvania? >> well, you know, i happen to represent more than 100 100,000 puerto ricans, people who are either born on the island or recover from families that hail from there. >> one of the really largest puerto rican populations anywhere in the united states and so i was talking, as you can imagine, to a lot of folks from that community in the last 24 hours and what they tell me is they're struck by the fact that this has broken through. >> that in a time in which a lot of people tune out politics not much breaks through the noise this really has an, has spread like wildfire as stephen colbert said, and is late night monologue last night. so look, i know there's a school of thought when it comes to donald trump after the last ten years that ultimately none of this

has any sort of effect. i don't think that's actually true though. i mean, we saw that in 2020 it was the first president since george herbert walker bush to lose reelection. >> and i do think that this comment especially coming as late as it does is having somewhat of an effect with the half 1 million or so puerto ricans who live in pennsylvania congressman, of course, the other person who used the word garbage in a recent interview is president biden, who had made a comment saying that trump supporters were garbage and they put out a statement saying they put out the transcript that said it was supporting apostrophe s that he was speaking about this person singular. >> but obviously the trump campaign has already seized on it. do you think what president biden said is helpful? >> well let's not do the false equivalency thing. i actually read the transcript. it's pretty clear in the same side,

trying to do the equivalent i'm just asking excuse it out for helpful he referred to the speaker meaning the person who was the comedian who said this donald trump everyone knows who donald trump is as anyone really surprised by that festival of hate that he had at madison square garden. >> and frankly, it wasn't just the one mean-spirited, vicious joke of a comedian that he decided to platform there were many other speakers as well at madison square garden at his final closing argument. compare that to kamala harris, who in her closing argument last night said that to her political opponents, she's not going to threaten to jail them as donald trump has. she's going to give them a seat at the table. that's probably why so many republicans, especially in the suburbs of philadelphia, are actually supporting kamala harris kristen, this campaign but sir, briefly, there's been some back-and-forth in the press and kind of in these final days, there's a super pac that pays for a lot of kamala harris is ads they've

been focused on an economic based at message that campaign has had a slightly different closing message. >> what do you think is most productive for pennsylvania voters to hear here? in the final days is, do you think it's helpful for harris to continue to call trump a fascist or do you want to see more economic messaging well, first i believe that people who have called donald trump a fascist or literally the people who worked side-by-side with him the fact that the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, mark milley, has labeled donald trump a fascist. >> the fact that a four-star marine general in general, kelly trump's own chief of staff called him a fascist that is really remarkable and truly unprecedented say however, when i'm out candy meaning, as i will be later here today in philadelphia i always point out the people that donald trump is exactly who he tells us he is, he is a about billionaires like himself his tax agenda when he was in

office was to provide a massive 2 trillion tax cuts to billionaires in every single one of trump's budget. over four years cut social security, medicare, and medicaid. >> that is the message that i tend to lean on the most here in philadelphia all right. >> congressman brendan boyle, very grateful to have you on the show. i hope you'll come back soon. thank you alright. >> thank you. >> all right. >> turning now to this former republican presidential candidate, nikki haley, raising alarm over some of the trump campaign's recent rhetoric. she's warning that they could be scaring away women voters this is not a time to have anyone criticized puerto rico or latinos. this is not a time for them to get overly masculine with this bromance thing that they've got going 53% of the electorate are women women will vote. they care about how they're being talked to and they care about the issue some of these so-called bromance is possibly on display

during trump's recent appearances on a number of podcasts there's no reason not to think that mars and all these planets don't have life, is cocaine a stronger up? yeah. yeah, yeah. >> a lot of wrestlers want to be they want to do the ufc thing. but they can't take the shots. i played football too. i didn't particularly like it will position. no, i didn't like i played tight tight end right or panel's back, kristen soltis-anderson is nikki haley, correct? i don't think it's bad for republicans to do outreach to young men who feel like both political parties have failed them over the last couple of decades i don't think that's a bad strategy. i do think if it's all you're doing, if you're not making overtures to women, i do you think that that's a problem considering that women are the majority of voters in this country. but it wouldn't surprise me frankly, if we don't see a huge gender divide in this election in

today's new york times, a great column by democratic pollster celinda lake, republican pollster amanda, you've know, i adore both of them and they've written about how this election is going to be the one where the gender divide is huge. trump is gambling that he can run up the numbers there's more with men than harris will with women. i think that's a dangerous gamble, but i don't think it's wrong for trump to go after disaffected young men who feel like the two political parties have failed them. >> to your point, he's not making a huge effort to go after women that madison square garden speech, there were 31 speakers what, 25 of them were men and i know because i was there for all eight hours nikki haley could be out there on the trail for donald trump if donald trump could get over his own bitterness and ego and actually give her a call. she's made very clear, she'll do it. but you have to call me first. if he loses, like haley gotten on making that call? >> i think i do agree if he does lose, it will be because the margin of women that he lost in these key battleground states, whether it be wisconsin or pennsylvania woman and probably young women, i think in particular who are again, turning out huge numbers both

voter registration and early vote. and i mean, i agree, talking young men, absolutely an important thing to do. it's how you do it. you don't have to do it at the at expense of crapping on women and constantly talking down to women and constantly can i i want to show a part from the route ali, that hale was talking about and then you can continue. let's watch this she's just so impressive as the first samoan malaysian low iq, former california prosecutor ever to be elected president. >> she's a pretender. her and her pimps handlers will destroy our country when i hear kamala speak it sounds, yeah. it sounds like a script from hollywood was a really, really bad actress kamala harris is a c-word you heard that, right?

>> a big old c-word? >> yeah difference between romancing, dancing, which i take your point on exactly how all of that and an exit that's pretty tame for tucker because remember, last time we talked about daddy coming home and spanking his daughter so yeah. >> so that's happened too, and i learned about it on your show i mean, i think that's the problem would you want to make it you know what that's the problem, right? it's end. he's he's tries i'm the father of ivf and he's trying to have it both ways in terms of bahkmut, his position on reproductive rights, which he knows is a big issue with women, but then it feels now like they just kinda said i go out and say what you want so this moreover, than what you faced in 16 with hillary know because trump's and the hatred against hillary was so visceral and 30 years baked in but it's, it's more than it's not more gendered, but it's more racist for sure all right. well, here

we go.
