8:00 pm
starburst like controversy is a good downpayment or that one, i don't want will attract a lot of attention in the neighborhood. >> and just a good start. >> thank you, sir. this seems to be this nerds gummy clusters. >> my kids, walk up gravel driveway with bare feet to get this as somebody king sized chocolate bar. am i making model is twix. abby you know what that is this is actually correct answer candy in america right here, you give me this, you know, i have to say something though, which is which i just it just struck me that two people on this panel defending kamala harris or republican there you go. much for watching and thank you for watching these night's state of the race. laura coates live starts right now
8:01 pm
power collide kama harris and donald trump bring their message and their high-profile backers to arizona and nevada. >> plus the battle for women voters hits fever pitch but we'll, trump's vow to protect them, whether they like it or not, his words. but i'm in the doghouse omarosa is here to respond and senator jd vance gets his turn on joe rogan and suggests some kids are becoming trans to get into ivy league schools tonight. on laura coates live halloween. happy halloween to all of you. and one of my favorite movies happens to be goonies i'm clearly mama for tally right? now, toping a better mother. but you see the costume, the gloves are going to probably have to come off, but it would be probably in line with the fact that in the last five days, of course, of this election, but gloves are
8:02 pm
already off right now. kamala harris and donald trump are campaigning out west there crisscrossing to critical battlegrounds with just five days to go until the election on the left live pictures from glendale, arizona. trump is about to speak there with far-right firebrand, tucker carlson. and on the right, kamala harris is getting raid or rally jennifer lopez in the next hour. it caps an incredibly busy day for both candidates. harris holding rallies in phoenix, arizona, and reno, nevada just earlier today before the big shebang with j.lo tonight, they will no doubt go after trump for those comments. i just new york city rally where a comedian called puerto rico garbage. but harris is also on the offensive over one of trump's biggest weaknesses. remember his controversial comments about women last night, we said he'd protect them whether they quote, like it or not yeah. harris wasn't having it he
8:03 pm
does not believe women should have authority or agency over their own bodies said that women should be punished for their choices now, as for trump, his first rally was interestingly enough. and reliably blue. new mexico, before moving on to henderson, nevada and tonight glendale why new mexico? >> well, for starters, he falsely suggested he won new mexico and not only 2016, but also 2020 he lost by big margins. >> and then, well, he said this i don't make me waste all half a day here. >> okay i came here you know, we can be nice to each other or we could talk turkey. let's talk turkey, okay first of all hispanics love trump from here. >> for one simple reason, i
8:04 pm
like you very much, ed, it's good for my credentials with the hispanic or latino community rally as we will bring you news when it comes in. but i want to start now with priscilla alvarez, who is in las vegas, who's also covering the house rally. >> priscilla, there is some serious star power there with kamala harris tonight. it's not just jennifer lopez. what can we expect? >> yeah, laura, the harris campaign had been planning for a star-studded events in the home stretch of this election, but they got a bit of an unexpected boost over the last several days with latino celebrities. this was after the remarks made at former president donald trump's new york city rally, where comedian assailed puerto rico. and that has led to multiple puerto rican stars coming out and supporting the vice president. one of them is jennifer lopez, who is going to be speaking momentarily behind me to introduce the vice president. but we're also be hearing from monon, mexican rock band that
8:05 pm
has also come out in support of the vice president. all of this, of course alright, is geared toward mobilization and talking to senior campaign officials over the last several days, they all say this is the moment where we need to mobilize voters, put an urge them to head to the polls. that is key here in nevada. we're tomorrow. it is the deadline for early in-person or in-person voting over the next several days, they will be able to continue to submit the mail in ballots but then in-person voting commences on tuesday. and of course, this campaign certainly wants to capitalize on early voting where they can in these battleground states. so the rally here tonight is absolutely no coincidence when it comes to timing. but of course, it also comes down to the message as you were playing there, the vice president responding to foreign president donald trump's remarks about women over the last few rallies over the course of the day. but she's also going to be talking about immigration, about border security, two issues that the former president has tried to use against this administration. and also the economy. so certainly the vice
8:06 pm
president, continuing to convey her message as she hits these battleground states i will be hearing more about all of that later tonight. laura priscilla alvarez, standby for us. >> we'll come back to you as well, joining me now on this busy halloween night, alex thompson, national political reporter for axios. chuck rocha, democratic strategist and former adviser to bernie sanders presidential campaigns and bryan lanza, senior adviser to trump. vance campaign. i'll begin with you here. check because we both have on hats. we're less than an hour away now from harris holding this rally. it's a pretty big one and an important one. i'm sure for her. got j.lo. involved in it as well. the latest cnn poll though, shows that it is essentially a dead heat between with latino voters in this the state of nevada. what's going on, why the dead heat you think it's going to be really close in nevada. but first i got to see you've got to recognize my costume i as business casual mexican redneck to save me. >> but in nevada, 48 hotter than my hat man is my pawpaw
8:07 pm
would say in nevada is much different than arizona. >> it's much different than pennsylvania and nevada over 100,000 latinos come in and out of that state of rio because there's a service industry, there's a lot of working class blue collar you've got to go in there and work it. you've got to work really hard. and tonight i think it's important to have g&a from the block to block doing some campaigning after the controversy this weekend with the matter essence square garden and the puerto rican comment and the trash comment and all the things look, we're at the very end, 60 million people have already voted each campaign run out. we're going to try to have really distinct differences to show contrast for that last little bit to motivate folks to get off the couch. >> but we've got about 100 hours, a little more than that to go. brian, and you've got ground that was likely lost from some of those comments is weak how does trump course? correct. can he is there even time there's no reason for course correction. >> i think if you look at everything in the polls, it shows that the president is winning the issues that matter to the american people, whether it's immigration or whether it's the economy that's what the people are focused on in prison terms, latino support on that. and i point out to nevada, nevada is an early vote
8:08 pm
state if you look at where the republicans are, they have a six-point read, they have a six point advantage on early votes. so we've never had that before. republicans have never lead early vote in nevada and now they lead it by six points. it is such a wide margin that harris needs to win independent voters on election day by 10% for her to carry nevada. the maps not there. i'm glad jenny on the block is there, but it's it's a little bit too late. he then nevada's i would say at this point going read if you look at the data, he thinks that's the math, is not mathing. alex, you hear this and the endorsements though, there are a number of them coming in. i mean, harris has it from several stores from the avengers, by the way, she's also got michael bloomberg that endorsed her and also lebron james endorsed her with the video of trump's comments over images from the civil rights movement and protests ending with a phrase that she often uses about not going back and that will take us back. >> will any of those endorsements at this particular hour move the needle? it could, but there are worries within the harris organization about how much they're going to move them. one person i was talking to just the other day who also used to work on it hillary's
8:09 pm
2016 campaign recalls the really big event that she had believed with lebron james in ohio a week or two before that election and they were going around talking to people and saying, oh, are you going to vote for hillary clinton? and they said, oh no, i just want to see lebron and beyonce. yes. sometimes people come to these events because to see the celebrity rather then the politician. and there is a little bit of a worry that they are depending a little bit too much that being said, it's not a bad thing to get jay. i mean, jenny from the block is a good thing to get. it only happened because of the unforced error of the trump campaign that they have a lot of confidence right now, but that confidence, according to some people i've talked to you involved in that campaign has turned can into a little bit of hubris among some people in there making unforced errors. there's no reason to have an insult comic go up in your big valid victorious mess square garden rally was just completely you know, it was politically and competent. >> the closing arguments and the supplemented wounds are one that i think every campaign has had to grapple with over time, but we are seeing it at a different pace. right now. and
8:10 pm
in particular, how do you see the role of the celebrity endorsements? because on the one hand, you want to show that you're a person of the people that's what trump is saying. and he tries to distance those who are not who are celebrities and saying, well, that's not really who you guys are at the same token but they relish having this or around them, how to voter is evaluated? >> look, i've been doing this for 35 years. it'd be easy for me to give o'brien a hard time and say that we've got because we've got j.lo, we got all the celebrities, but to be realistic in a campaign strategy, don't matter who endorses them. it really don't matter who endorses us, but it has something to do with momentum at the end, you want to have the energy, whatever that energy is, he just talked about an example, alex, about energy that kind of fell flat in ohio with hillary clinton. but energy matters if you get that last little bit as a strategist, there are certain people that are going to vote. brian just made a good point that they're weapon us with the batak early vote. the question is, is that early vote, vote that they're taking from what would normally vote on election day. we don't know that. we know some well that we know that donald trump is making a better effort to get folks out to vote early. that means we have to get our folks
8:11 pm
out even harder. that's what this is at the very end. it's kind of like head-to-head everyone little boat here and there. but the momentum is what really matters, right? >> let me ask you about the energy because it was a different vibe today when trump is speaking and he talks about the weave, oftentimes, but there is an undeniable i believe, meandering moment. i want to play for you. i'd love to understand your rationale for this having the biggest winners. >> again, i want those windows to be so big right down to the bottom of the floor and the bigger they are, the better they sell. >> that's just the way it is. >> i got to change my whole philosophy if you don't vote, be in because i go back to building crazy buildings now and i won't be able to use windows anymore now they actually, they don't want windows. >> they don't want cows. they don't want anything what is he talking about, ryan and the idea of these last final days and hours left why is this even
8:12 pm
part of his message? because i think he's just trying to tell people you don't want to send me back into the construction business. you got to vote me in here and he's trying to motivate them just everybody has their own little angles and i think he's trying to do a comedic blend. it's like you don't want me going back to building buildings, put me in the white house. that's the only thing i can think of what is being said at this moment. i mean, trump was a builder before he came to office. so when he's saying yeah, you're going to send me back to building. that's probably what he means, but i think that people on tuesday are going to send them to the white house is reminds me in your times, did a really good comparison between 2016 and 2024, trump and trump has always been undiscipline, but his rally length has gone from 45 minutes, about an hour-and-a-half, which creates a lot more moments like that. and when happens though, i mean, sometimes it can show you're anxious as a candidate. you want to have every single moment you wanted have a prolonged and protracted discussion because you've got some point to drill home. but when you fill it with the debt air, fill it with hot air, that shows that maybe there is not the linear focus that you know that the voters want to hear about. how do you see is on that as democrats as florida hello, richman used to getting
8:13 pm
his way. how much time he can have when he has a lot of opinion i learned that the former president absolutely i'm telling my friend brian until any republican that donald trump has every advantage in this election. every vantage or most of the issues the advantage of not being an incumbent to having a chance to being a change agent to go and back to a change when actually thinks we're cheaper, the democrat here said yes, things were cheaper four years ago. and if i was running that campaign, i know bryan it running it every day. he adviser. i've been advised. you have so much work you can do with that, but just staying on the message. if he stayed on the messages thing would have already been over what you can tell every rally, you know, he you can tell that he knows where he's supposed to say, right? >> then they've said kamala broke it. i will fix it. he starts if he starts every rally right now, being like, are you better off than you were four years ago? there's more of an optimistic message in terms of the talking points. but then, you know, the vast majority of it is him just being discursive. >> well, speaking of four years ago, there was a some seeds that were planted ben about the
8:14 pm
election and the integrity of our elections. and it seems and puck is reporting, quote, trump and his allies are preemptively making outlandish and extreme assertions to lay the groundwork for a claim of a stolen election. and i do wonder from your perspective does the campaign really believed that there is a risk of this? isn't it? cutting off one's nose, spite your face if you want people to be encouraged to vote and then saying something's wrong and on toward already listen, i have a tremendous amount of respect for tara who wrote that story, but i think she's wrong in that story. >> i don't sense that at all. you know, listen, i think at the end people are going to speculate a lot. but the campaign is focused on the election day. the campaign is doing everything thinking they can to get areas. everybody turned out on election day, these stories just come out of sometimes left field, sometimes torreon's terror gets a ride in. sometimes. she gets it wrong. i think on this story, she got it wrong. we know what the campaign is focused on, where we're focused on election day, we're focused about delivering our economic message. we're focused about immigration message. and these stories just sort of offer an extraction sara these are
8:15 pm
trump's words though at times talking about how he believes that they are already cheating. >> that was as recently as yesterday. now he came back in the garbage truck, could talk about they've made some corrections, but he has been quite consistent about believing that there is something wrong with the elections. >> let's look at pennsylvania. you have nearly 10,000 registered registered regret i just ration people who've registered illegally now, that has been disclosed in certain counties. there's an investigation or the other when you registered legally to vote, chances are you want to vote. you don't register to, you don't commit that felony just because oh, i feel like doing it when you commit that first felony of register and vote you with the intent of cubing that second felony have actually voted yeah. we have seen examples of registration drives. be excessive, come up with fake registration forms because that's the intent of somebody wanted to commit fraud. so we're glad that those things have been caught. we're glad that there's an investigation and yes, there are examples of we have an example of michigan of a non-citizen voting at the university of michigan. so more and more examples are popping up in these things and we need to focus on that. but it at the end of the day, i think what terrorists and under story is
8:16 pm
that we're talking about the polls is sort of the inevitability of trump's going to win. we're not talking about the polls. the media is talking about tools. we're talking about what we need to do on election day. we need to turn out voters. we need to execute the media is talking about the polls. other people to talk about the polls, not it's not us the campaign's ahead. go ahead, alex, as you say, the upshot of what you just sad is that this could be the most litigious election in american history. and the trump campaign, and the trump campaign is already been preparing for that. and they've actually, in some ways sacrifice their ground game by focusing rnc resources on legal teams for key to what bryan said is they got caught. >> there's checks and balances and all of our systems, we have a system, we have judges, we have laws, and every now and then one wonder two people may slip through out of hundreds of millions of voters. >> absolutely nothing is perfect, but not a mocker sees pretty safe. and we went pretty good elections. what branch talking about what the voter registration happened, because there was things in place to catch that they caught them. and that's something good, but that's no reason to say that our elections aren't fair. >> yeah. but let's be clear. the reason they committed fraud on those registrations so they could commit election fraud.
8:17 pm
they were caught red handed. so you can't say that election fraud is not getting taking place. you have people who have excess of 5,000 registration forms. there are people who wanted to commit 5,000 fraudulent votes in this election. let's be clear of what took place going on to evaluate different registration forms that have now been segregated from the rest of determine what the motivation and what actually happened in these mass collection of ballot collection number distillation forums was stay tuned for the outcome of what by what you've got five days to go stand by everyone while harris seizes on trump's comments about women, the former we're president is going after harris campaign surrogate mark cuban for his own controversial remarks. >> omarosa is here to discuss the fight for women voters, maxed plus jd vance has controversial comments on joe rogan where he claims kids are becoming trans to get into elite colleges. his college friend speaks out here
8:18 pm
wracking the whole country is on the edge of their seats. unprecedented. >> this race could not be any closer an election like no other. and it all comes down to this. >> we could now make came major projection election night in america from the first votes to the critical counts. >> a lot of us thought that had come down to this. >> the we only cnn can bring it to you election night in america, special coverage begins tuesday, november 5 at four on cnn, and streaming on what i look forward to contractor is someone who's reliable and skillful. >> that's where angie comes in with top rated certified pros and over 500 categories. sanjay can connect you with a right pro for any home projects. finally, the top rated certified pros in your area at angie.com, kamala backed biden on everything. >> she supported his disastrous economic agenda, higher taxes on the middleclass. >> kamala backed his open border policies in their weakness invited boar's president trump fights for you his strength kept us safe. trump cut taxes for families.

prices were lower, and the border secure, but kamala wants to double down on failure. kamala broken president trump, will fix it. >> i'm donald j. trump and i approve this message you're a small business owner. >> you don't have time to waste. that's why you go to bizou credit for funding our simple application, makes it easy to get fast financing. time for funding it's time for biz to credit take airborne. >> it has seven key nutrients to help fill those holes. your immune system was holes? supporting nutrients are most complete support yet, why did we do this last year for your fermenting migraine and kidnapped that and look at me now, you'll never truly forget my dream, but zero migraine days are possible, don't take if allergic to do with debt, most common side effects are nausea, constipation, and thinking q2 liptak there, forget you get migraine medicine in harbor freight.

8:22 pm
it's running again. saturday at nine? on cnn freedom of women or the intelligence of women to know what's in there own best interests and make decisions accordingly. >> but we trust women harris, responding to donald trump's vow to be a protector of women, quote, whether they like it or not. i want to protect the women of our country
8:23 pm
it's inappropriate for you to say pay these guys a lot of money. can you believe it i said, well, i'm gonna do it. whether the women like it or not. i've got to protect them i'm gonna protect them from migrants coming in joining me now, former trump senior adviser, omarosa manigault newman. she's also the author of unhinged an insider's account of the trump white house, omarosa. good to see you. look, you've heard these advisers. they're telling trump comments like these are paternalistic comments. he's making, but he doesn't seem to care about that. does that square with trump? >> you know i can't tell you how often laura i would breach donald trump and give him the parameters of what he should say and what he shouldn't say. and he went off the railings. what's most concerning about these latest comments is that he's honest. they advised him that this would offend women, that women would react and a negative way to his comments and he tells you that he
8:24 pm
doesn't care that they're going to get what he's giving regardless of what the impact is on women and how they turn out so that lets you know that donald trump will not listened to his advisers norvell. he listened to wise counsel. if elected to the oval office again. >> now, of course, he i'm sure believes that he is going to use this to his advantage and suggests that i'm going to do a lot of things that people aren't comfortable. but i know better. i know better. that's why you're electing me. to actually run the country. how does that level of bravado and hubris work against him in these backroom deals in these hits situation room, so to speak, where he's trying to learn from those who are advising him. >> what donald often said that he followed his gut and what we know is that donald trump has become extremely out of touch with what every day americans are feeling, what they're experiencing. their struggles to fill their gas tank or even
8:25 pm
if fill prescriptions by him following his gut, he has lead the country in a way when he was in office that went in the wrong direction, we know that because many of the voters said that in their exit polling, that they just did trust him any longer to make any type of economic decisions. they didn't trust him with social security and they certainly don't trust him to make decisions about women's bodies well, a top paris surrogate, mark cuban, he now is in some hot water is raising how these last-minute days are not the words of the candidates, but again, needs to address them. >> he's in hot water following controversial comments about women that are around trump. listen to this donald trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women, ever it's just that simple there intimidating to him. >> he doesn't he doesn't like to be challenged by them at the trump campaign is calling it a disrespectful insult to women. >> then tonight, as you can expect, cuban is now clarifying saying he knows a lot of smart
8:26 pm
women who have worked with and support trump. but he insists that trump is threatened by strong women. what's your take donald trump has shown just in the last week or so that he doesn't like women full stop i mean, he has gone after kamala harris in a way that expresses very clearly that he dislikes women in powerful positions in leadership. >> i mean, the insults that he has launched towards dumb kamala harris has demonstrated that donald trump is completely out of touch with women. he is called kamala harris dumb. he has used the artwork r word, which i won't repeat, but he has also said that she should not become the president united states, because specifically that she is a woman of color. and so donald trump is connected. so when you hear mark cuban say what he said, he clarified and said that he was referring to donald trump's reluctance to have nikki haley campaign with him as we've seen, because nikki haley
8:27 pm
speaks the truth, he doesn't want truth tellers around him. i think that that should have been the statement that mark cuban said as opposed to strong women intelligent women, you know, speaking of nikki haley, why do you think she is not on the campaign trail with him? is it because she is not agreeing to whatever terms or he doesn't want her there he doesn't want her continues to be a threat to him and there's no one more dangerous than someone who is insecure and he's always behaved very insecure around nikki haley because she has the intellect she connected with voters and her number's during the primaries, it's good so of course he is not going to have her on the campaign trail, although she would have been an asset to him, it's his loss is counterintuitive given she thinks she's given dates and when she could be available to stomp on the campaign and knowing that she did secure votes, even after she dropped out of the race, should have been a maybe at a low-hanging
8:28 pm
fruit for some of them in the campaign to think about. >> but, you know, maybe there's the elephant never forgets philosophy of things in terms of the relationship is also an ad released by a progressive evangelical group, vote common good, omarosa. and it's aiming to mobilize women voters living in pro trump households. it tying them it's okay to break from their party. watch this your turn, honey. in the one place in america were women still have a right to choose waters and others are up in arms over this ad. >> what's the real concern for them here? >> i think the real concern is that you can't really measure what women are going to do, although we can certainly look at 20:20 after the dobbs
8:29 pm
decision as to what happened. and it was not good for republicans. but i was at my rotary meeting this week and it was all the buzz. women from both parties talking about the fact that there is this whole push for women to go into the booth and make decisions that may be contrary to their husbands. the fact that this is an organized campaign strategy is fascinating to women on both sides of the aisle, but we won't know until after this election is concluded. it after we have the exit polling, how effective that ad and this push has been with women it's true we won't know if there really speaking to an actual section of the electorate or a boogeyman version of it. >> but lo and behold, we will see that in the about five days and certainly it is gaining traction. both those who think it's condescending and those who say it's exactly the right message, we'll see how the voters feel omarosa manigault, newman always thank you. >> thank you. laura.

parent and the only thing you care about is whether your child goes into harvard or yale. >> like obviously that pathway has become a lot harder for a lot of upper middle-class kids. but the one way that those people can participate in the dei, bureaucracy in this country is to be trans and is there a dynamic that's going on where if you become trends, that is the way to reject your white privilege that, right there is no evidence to support that claim. obviously, it's mainly made up of whole cloth don't forget, of course, jd vance says have a tendency to do just that. like his lies about haitian migrants eating pets in springfield, ohio. remember? that after being caught in that lie, that he feels he has to quote, create stories for attention if

offensive i think the maga movement thinks of minority identities is something we take on in off like a jacket. and the only advantage that's flown to me from being transgender is that i get to live my aesthetic self, which i think is what all trans people are seeking. but the reality for trans people in america is that we're four times more likely to be the victims of violent crime. there's no evidence to support what he's saying and i think it's just part of this nefarious calculated plot to divide us and sow division amongst the american people. and that's why you see that they spent $100 running ads attacking me and my community this is no different than bashing puerto rican or in the way he's talking about people becoming trans to get some advantage reminds me of what donald trump said about vice president harris, that she quote, became black to implying
8:38 pm
that it was somehow to her advantage when we all know that's not the reality. we were born this way. we live this way. there's a lot of discrimination gen. that comes along with whether it's being puerto rican, transgender, or black woman in america. we're all proud of our identities, were proud of who we are. we're proud of our history but it doesn't change the reality that it doesn't get you anywhere as far as getting into school and they're since underlying concept and what he was saying that it's some how become difficult for rich white people to get into yale that wasn't my experience, haven't gotten there news to me, wasn't my experience at princeton either. for the record. but will we will see what happens in the future for a lot of things. i do want to get your thoughts another claim from vance here he is talking about what he calls his words. again, the normal gay vote i wouldn't be surprised if me and trump won. just the normal gay guy vote because again, they just wanted to be left the
8:39 pm
hell alone. and now you have all this crazy stuff on top of it i mean, i hear the words coming out of his mouth. >> i assume he hears them as well. i know he sees a calendar. i know he knows that it's an election year. we're five days oh, and there are people who are actually listening to what he has to say and reacting to every instance of these different phrases, what's your reaction? >> why don't think this is a mistake, right? he, this is a attacks. this is the closing message of the maga movement. its division and they're obsessed with identity politics. they accused the left of being purveyors of identity politics, but they're the ones who can't stop talking about these issues. they can't stop bringing up trans people there i'm sorry. i do wonder whether so obsessed but this is the normal versus abnormal is something that jd and i talked about and was kind of the beginning of the end of our friendship when he told me that trans people are making it difficult for normal people to just live their lives. i think
8:40 pm
that's deeply hurtful, right? i don't consider myself abnormal. i don't think there's anything wrong with me. i don't think that dividing members of the lgbtq community is productive. i certainly don't think there's any segment of the lgbtq community that's going to break for the maga movement i also think this idea that we can divide americans into normal and abnormal people is dangerous and hurtful we know they say definition of tack is when you can make a point without making an enemy, sounds like that's hopefully lacking here. >> sophia, you have said remember at times in past interviews that you still care about vance and his wife, who you also have known since law school, if you had the opportunity to sit down with them today, what would you tell them? >> i would sit the trans people just want to be left alone to be able to live our lives. i'm not bothering anyone. i'm not
8:41 pm
making it difficult for any normal person to live their life and i wish that we could get back to a place of respectful, curious, dialogue and not attacks. i do miss jd anousha, i don't wish anything elon them. i care about them as people but the political messenger that he's become, i think is incredibly dangerous. and i encourage everyone whether you're trans or not to think about what do these types of attacks from our leaders? mean for us as a country and what kind of message does it send our children about bullying and these are not the way we would want our kids to talk about people who are different from us. it's certainly not the way we want our leaders to talk about it. >> sophia nelson, thank you for joining thank you for having me well, j. >> lo and vice president harris rallying together in las vegas. >> any moment now we'll bring you that live when it comes plus rfk jr. is firmly in

put on the food and all sorts. >> that's trump tonight in nevada getting cheers from the crowd about rfk jr. taking care of health women's health. >> but the thing is rfk jr. is a well-documented conspiracy theorist. >> his anti-vax scenes. >> he thinks chemicals in the water are causing gender dysphoria. >> and young boys and that is just the tip of the untrue iceberg. yet tonight, the washington post is reporting that rfk jr. could wield a great deal of power over health and food safety in a prospective trump administration. they report cabinet and agency officials would actually maybe answered to him and rfk is conspiracies are now spreading throughout the trump campaign. here's trump's transition co-chair howard lutnick speaking with cnn's kaitlan collins we are safe. >> rfk i mean, why do you think vaccines are safe? >> there's no product liability anymore, did not prove that kids get them in they're fine. >> why do you think they're fine? >> but because there proven
8:48 pm
scientifically to assist, there was one in ten people we all know so many more people with autism then add it when we were young oh, come on okay i mean, this point is really interesting cause autism as kaitlan said, vaccines do not cause autism. the thing is sometimes the lie travels much further than the truth so it doesn't backtracking here. and who better to help with us then cnn medical analyst, dr. jonathan reiner, he is the director of the cardiac catheterization laboratory, at george washington university hospital. dr. reiner. thank you for being here. i want to start with that conspiracy. it's one of the most widespread conspiracies about vaccines that they cause autism tell us why they do not did you not because they've been studied in dozens of trials using a variety of methods. methodologies, evaluating a variety of vaccines given in a variety of dosing schedules and they don't cause autism most
8:49 pm
recent study coming out of denmark, looking at 600,000 children comparing those who got, for instance, the mmr vaccine to those who didn't know different in the incidence of autism. it's been studied extensively. the original sort of concern from this came out of now widely discredited a study by some andrew wakefield that was published in lancet in the late 19 1980s, widely withdrawn by the lancet, the journal that published it. there's no evidence that vaccines, any vaccine causes autism yet this continues to be a part of the conversation and promoted conspiracy theory. >> and there's another one of his claims that certain chemicals in our water, dr. reiner are actually causing a sexual dysphoria in children, particularly boys what is the basis anything for that claim
8:50 pm
there's a small basic lab study basic science lab study that suggested that you could change the gender of a frog if it was exposed to certain chemicals, the kinds of chemicals that sometimes are leach from things like plastics. >> but frogs, the gender of frog is dictated by environmental factors after, after birth, temperature and chemical exposure. but human gender is determined at conception and there is no data and no scientific way that the sort of the methods, methodology that was shown in that study on frogs applies to human beings, is just nonsense but it's said with conviction and he says with conviction and it's cloaked with the kennedy name. and when he says things, people listened to him. i always feel guilty asking and
8:51 pm
trying to pick the mind of a brilliant person like yourself about these conspiracy theories and yet there are so many people who believe exactly what is being said because of the messenger and because of the frequency in which they hear the material and the scanning, they do of headlines and echo chambers across our country. and we've heard this a lot with covid-19, of course, and the covid vaccine. in fact, i want to play for you a little bit of a clip of january jd vance today where he was speaking about the covid bag covid vaccination. listen the sickest that i've been in the last 15 years by far was when i took the vaccine and i've had covid at this 0.5 times. i was embed for two days. my heart was racing. i was like the fact that we're not even allowed to talk about that, even no no serious injury but but even the fact that we're not even a lot of talk about the fact that i was sick as i've ever been for two days. and the worst covid experience i had was like a sinus infection i'm not really willing to trade that what's
8:52 pm
your response to senator jd vance? >> oh, he's allowed to talk about his reaction to the vaccine. and he's a young man and young people have robust immune responses to vaccinations, which is why you get fevers and sometimes chills. and a keenness but the truth of the matter is, the vaccine has been remarkably effective in reducing death and hundreds of thousands of people in these in the united states probably died unnecessarily because they listened to vaccine skeptics and science deniers tell them not to take the vaccine. it was interesting study that's looked at something really sad, which was, which was basically that if you looked at the mortality of people prior to vaccines being widely available during the covid pandemic and there was no difference in outcomes between blue and red counties around the united states but after vaccines became widely available, you started to see
8:53 pm
an increase in mortality in people who lived in red counties the reason being that vaccine uptake was lower in red counties. so vaccination became politicized during the, during the pandemic. and my concern is that she's someone like rfk jr. actually have a very active, a prominent role in the innate. another trump administration that we could see this kind of science denial and politicization of science and avoiding vaccines has tangible consequences. measles is it, is a incredibly virulent virus, which will kill children it's a completely preventable disease. and if someone like rfk jr. starts preaching that vaccines are unsafe for unnecessary or all you need to do is drink raw milk as he's been saying recently. and people are going to die and the
8:54 pm
idea of the positions of power that they could wield and hold and those instance, i do wonder why you think people are so susceptible. this information is something that the government could be doing others that phrase of the, you know, the most scary words in the world to some of ben, i'm the guardman and i'm here to help. i've heard that a lot but could the government doing more to try to give information to counteract the disinformation yes. >> i think i think i think physicians and the government and agencies have not been i have not had the great, the greatest messaging about vaccines and science. >> and its create, it creates distrust at the beginning of the pandemic. i think the first victim of the covid pandemic was the truth the public was lied to from the very beginning of the pandemic, we were told that it was just going to go away, that it was that it was the flu that it was no big deal. >> and in a pandemic or in any
8:55 pm
kind of public health crisis, if you don't tell people the truth they won't trust you. >> and if they won't trust you, they won't do that the difficult things and remember what happened during the pandemic and they don't believe anything, they're told what you're saying is as scary as it is clear dr. reiner, thank you so much for joining us ahead. >> we'll go back to las vegas where kamala harris is just moments away from rallying with jennifer lopez it all comes down to this. we can now make a major for jack jim. >> the way only cnn can bring it to you election night in america, special coverage begins tuesday, november 5 at four and see it to understand why donald trump is unfit for office. understand why trump is the danger to the republic must understand that he is a
