times. >> or is it just an amazing sweater i'm into it. >> let's just keep going sarah, we've got three hours. >> we'll take over. good times. >> thank you kate. >> all right this morning, atlanta rapper young thug free after more than 900 days in prison. his release comes amid a high profile plea agreement. young thug, whose legal name is jeffrey williams, changed his plea to guilty for multiple criminal charges. prosecutors accused the rapper of leading an atlanta street gang that committed murder and other violent crimes dating back a decade. it ends georgia's longest ever criminal trial. cnn's nick valencia joining us now from atlanta. what more can you tell us about this plea deal? this is a big deal. >> yeah. good morning, sarah. and quite frankly it's egg on the face for the fulton county district attorney's office for fani willis. you know plea negotiations were ongoing earlier this week between young thug and the da's office, but they broke down because, according to his attorney young thug did not want to plead guilty to being the head of a street gang or testify against

the remaining co-defendants. so instead, he is an attorney, took a big legal gamble yesterday and entered a non-negotiated plea to the judge putting his fate in the hands of that judge, who ultimately decided that young thug had served his time. he went from facing life in prison to ultimately getting 15 years of probation and being banned from metro atlanta for ten years. among the other conditions of that sentencing. but listen to him plead his case successfully to the judge prior to the sentencing i take full responsibility for you know, my crimes or my charges. >> i am a smart guy. i am a good guy, and i really got a good heart. you know, i find myself in a lot of stuff because because i was just nice or cool, you know, and i understand that you can't be that way when you reach a certain height because it could end bad and with this ends the longest case in georgia state

history. >> jury selection process alone took ten months, and this case drew fierce criticism for prosecutors use of rap lyrics as proof of existence of a gang and their actions. it was a tumultuous case that dragged on for months including multiple motions for a mistrial, three different judges, but ultimately young thug is home after after being in custody for more than 900 days, sarah all right. >> nick valencia in atlanta for us. thank you so much. a new hour of cnn news central starts now >> breaking this morning liz cheney's new response to donald trump suggestion of gun barrels pointing at her as the battle for women voters gets white hot. a new report that two women lost their lives after doctors delayed treating miscarriages, and expect the unexpected hurricanes. labor strikes could make the latest jobs report before election day

a messy one. the new numbers out in just a few minutes. i'm john berman with sara sidner and kate baldwin. this is cnn new center >> the final days of donald trump and kamala harris. historically tight race. now confronting some of the most violent and vicious attacks to date. overnight, trump called harris a sleazebag president biden a stupid b word, and the words you are about to hear his should face a firing squad she's a radical war hawk let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrel shooting at her okay, let's see how she feels about it. >> you know, when the guns are trained on her face, when that sleazebag said during the debate, she said, oh, your rallies aren't well attended and people leave they don't leave and they're really well intended we can't get places

big enough. when biden got up with a red background, the pink background and he looked like the devil, he looked so stupid right and he said, we will stop mega, mega. we're going to i said, listen, you stupid okay, here is liz cheney's response this morning. >> this is how dictators destroy free nations they threaten those who speak against them with death. cnn political director david chalian, with us now wow. what is the one big thing that we should know? this morning? and i think i know what you're going to say. >> well i mean, the one big thing here is the contrast in the closings. and it is instructive of where these candidates think they are. this is, you know, donald trump saying, talking about a firing squad for liz cheney is in no way i just want in no laboratory would his campaign team design this him sitting on

stage with tucker carlson and and talking about liz cheney as a firing squad as the thing they want to be doing four days before the votes are counted in this very tight election. so but i think it's instructive because you see, in these dangerous comments i mean, we have seen real world danger of overheated political rhetoric. and you see in these dangerous words where trump is in his closing days. and i think interestingly sarah, you see on the other side that harris incorporates this into her clothes. she is actually still trying in these days to make an appeal to swing voters to, to widen her appeal. that's not something donald trump seems to be doing very much of with this with these comments. listen to vice president harris, how she's closing out this campaign listen to what he's saying as his closing argument. >> it's all about hate and division, and it's not just

what he says, it's what he will do because if elected, you can be sure he will bring back family separation policies only on a much greater scale than the last time attention to his divisive language as part of her appeal to voters to say hey, it doesn't have to be this way. >> i also just want to note you brought up liz cheney's tweet in response there. did you see what the hashtag was there about women? you want the one big thing to close out this entire election season keep your eye on how women vote on tuesday. it is going to i think be the thing we look at to make us understand how this election ends up hashtag women will not be silenced is what liz cheney put there. >> let me ask you about this. i know you've been poring over our polls, as you always do as a consummate professional. the

cnn poll of polls out on the so-called blue wall states, what are you seeing yeah. >> so we just came out because there was a slew of new polling out of the blue wall states. we did some earlier this week. marist was out this morning so we always like to put all the reputable polling together. and so in the poll of polls in these blue wall states now you see these are five most recent reputable polls averaged together in michigan, 49% harris, 46%. trump in pennsylvania, a dead heat, 48% 48%. and in wisconsin looks like michigan. there, 49% to 46%. now, those three point races in michigan and wisconsin, that's still within a general margin of error that you would have in polling. so that is still unbelievably close. but perhaps harris and her team feeling a bit better going into tuesday about those two blue wall states where we've said all along pennsylvania, pennsylvania pennsylvania is where this race will likely be decided. >> it has the most electoral

votes of those states ways. but you got to win them all david chalian, thank you so much. appreciate it kate. >> so a closer look now at battleground georgia, where early voting there is breaking records and also where voters are being inundated with disinformation. georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger is pushing back overnight against a new disinformation campaign targeting the state. a viral video that was shared on x purporting to show a haitian immigrant with multiple georgia ids claiming to have voted multiple times. now, raffensperger put out a statement saying point blank, this is obviously fake and part of a disinformation effort. likely it is a production of russian troll farms. yet the original video had well over half a million views as of last night. joining us right now is stacey abrams, the former democratic leader of the georgia house. she's also the host of the new podcast assembly required with stacey abrams. it's good to see you. thanks for coming in.

>> you just recently said that georgia is ground zero for misinformation and disinformation. this campaign cycle. >> do you think it's taking hold having an influence on voters in georgia, or do you think the pushback, like we're seeing from raffensperger there, is doing enough to kind of dispel the lies and lay out the facts? >> i would say that luckily, we have a very strong network of organizations that have been paying attention to disinformation flooding our state for multiple months and while we appreciate the fact that the secretary of state is weighing in, we know that this has been happening for years. in fact, on my podcast, associate, who is one of the leading figures on disinformation, pointed out that it's been targeting voters in georgia for quite some time. and unfortunately, some of that misinformation has come from within the state but what we do know is that when people have trusted messengers like these local organizations who are reaching out saying, here's what the real facts are, here's what you need to do, we know that it has an effect. and

so we're very proud of the work that's happening through grassroots organizations to push back against this disinformation. >> i know that's something you've been working years on. is these grassroots efforts, the secretary of state also is part of this pushback. he called out elon musk last night and specifically he said, saying that we ask elon musk and the leadership of other social media platforms to take this down. we have seen elon musk's growing visibility with trump's campaign and his influence how how much and what kind of influence do you think elon musk is having on this election sadly what he is doing is vitiating the bonds that bring us together in a democracy. >> when you offer to pay millions of dollars to buy votes, when you flout the responsibility of truth, you are weakening democracy. and that type of coarseness, but also that type of flouting of your responsibility abdication signals that no one else has to follow the rules either. and i

believe it is endemic to the way the republican party is operating today. when the president of the former president of the united states has as his chief champion, someone who bought an organ of information and uses it to spread disinformation, and mal information, who manipulates and manufactures information and mistruths in order to undermine democracy. we should be deeply afraid of anyone and everyone who believes in democracy should not only disavow elon musk they should vote against donald trump because we know that he has promised to give this man even more power in a trump administration. and so i would call upon every republican official who believes that our democracy deserves to be saved, to stand with liz cheney and say no to donald trump and no to elon musk. >> we've seen. i want to ask you about liz cheney in just one second, but early voting has been just breaking records from day one in georgia. you have been working on improving voter turnout in georgia for

years. what do you think is driving this surge in early voting this time well, while we are excited about who's showing up we have to understand that turnout does not mean there is not voter suppression activity. >> a lot of those voters in 2020 were able to vote by mail one of the reasons we're seeing early lines is because they can no longer use the easier method of voting by mail because of sb 202, because of sb 189 laws that ratzenberger and brian kemp supported and pushed forward. people who are disabled, people who have lost their homes are facing harder times casting their ballots, but they refuse to be silenced. and what we are excited about is that here in the state of georgia, despite the government making it harder to cast your ballot people are willing to fight to make it happen anyway. so they're showing up. they're standing in lines they shouldn't have to stand in because they believe their voices matter, and that this election matters. and we believe they're standing in these lines, especially to support kamala harris. >> i think in another time, another election, it would be

wildly surprising to hear to hear you say, you should listen to liz cheney with regard to this election, what do you think of what has. i mean, people are it's going to be settling in today. what donald trump said yesterday and liz cheney responding this morning to donald trump's, suggesting she firing line and the fact that, you know, the response is going to be it's not surprising coming from donald trump >> we know that strongmen, the authoritarianism begins with the kind of coarse language, the kind of dehumanizing language that donald trump uses. but we also have to look at the fact that he had four years to lay the groundwork for what he wants to do next, and that is he has demonized the press he has taken over the judiciary in such a fashion that it is no longer protecting the rights of women. the rights of communities that are marginalized and disadvantaged. and he is tehran. he treats americans as enemies, not as

opponents. those are the classic signs of strong men of authoritarians. and so what we have to understand is not only is it his rhetoric, it will now become his policies, policies that the supreme court have said he cannot be held accountable for. if he breaks the law, if he undermines democracy. and so, while liz cheney and i don't agree on much, we both agree that america should survive this election and should have the chance to thrive and return to our core fundamental values, we can disagree about policy, but we should not disagree about the need to protect our democracy, protect our infrastructure, and protect our values. and that is something that kamala harris will do. and that is something every single day. donald trump proves he does not believe in. he does not believe in the values of america. and if he is elected, he will do his level best to undo what we have fought for 248 years to make possible in this country. >> battleground georgia. kamala harris heading back this weekend. again, i'm starting to lose track of all of all of the travel

itineraries but i think she's back there this weekend. of course. right before votes starting being counted. stacey abrams, thanks for your time john. >> thank you. all right. new reporting this morning. details the death of a woman after being forced to wait 40 hours for treatment due to abortion bans. and new evidence in the criminal investigation into sean combs. a witness now claiming to have footage of combs allegedly victimizing other celebrities. and we are minutes away from a new jobs report. be the final one before election day. why it may look different than the ones we have seen in recent months from the creators of forrest gump. everybody ready, tom hanks? hey dad, i'd like you to meet margaret. >> tom hanks. >> time sure does fly, doesn't tom hanks. >> thank you for bringing us together. >> experience here in theaters now. rated pg. >> confused by the medicare? abc's if you have original medicare, then you have parts a and b, have you considered part c, medicare, part c is sometimes known as a medicare

1877866 8555. >> sometimes stress feels like the only constant, and i know that stress may lead to heart disease and stroke. so today i decided to put my phone down and simply breathe. i'm focusing on what i can control, like turning little moments into me. time to help my mind, heart, and body. i'm reclaiming my time. deep breaths for just one minute. a walk with my dog or calling a friend. this is my time and my health and moment by moment i'm owning it it's time that we go back to tennessee. >> nashville is a hot market. oh, okay. this is insanity. ten kids. no, no. >> i want to make this the perfect home for them. look at this. >> christina. in the country, season premiere tuesday, november 12th at nine on hgtv this morning, donald trump has a clear path out of many of his legal troubles win the election. >> cnn's kara scannell is with us now. >> yeah, john. that's right. i

mean, if you look at what the this election means for donald trump, it's obviously the potential presidency, but it also could make the difference between whether he serves any time in jail and most specifically, you know, whether he gets sentenced is going to have an impact on any of his criminal cases there are still several outstanding, but the sentencing is the one that's most urgent and could mean the difference between being in bars and being a free man. now, a lot of lawyers and retired judges i spoke to say that they think this will really turn on it because if donald trump wins the election then it means that he's going to have a roadmap of legal challenges that he will try to pursue. the first thing up november 12th, one week after election day, the judge overseeing the hush money case, which is a new york case. a new york state case. that judge will decide whether the supreme court's ruling on presidential immunity impacts the conviction in that case. now, if he rules in favor of trump it's over. that's the end of it. if he rules against trump, then his lawyers are going to launch a series of challenges because the distance between that decision on the 12th and his scheduled sentencing date is two weeks.

so they will be asking every judge that judge merchan appeals courts, maybe even up to the supreme court, to stop the sentencing so they can challenge that other legal challenges that they're working on to try to move this case from state court into federal court. and also, just in general, going to be challenging this conviction. so with if trump is the president elect, you might see some of these courts agree that he shouldn't be sentenced. he's going to be taking over the country. that would be a distraction. but if he's not the president elect, then a lot of lawyers think that his sentencing day will come. it may not be two weeks after that decision. it could get delayed. you know, just a couple of months. but they do think he could be sentenced in this case within the next six months. if he loses this election and of course, this is the first time any judge has had to do this in american history. >> yeah, i mean, pretty unprecedented. i mean, for sure. and that's the new york state case. not to mention the jack smith federal cases, which if trump wins, he will just basically wave a magic wand and make it go away. thank you very much kate.

>> so the top five cnn heroes of 2024 have been announced. and this morning we're introducing you to one of the finalists. nearly 130 million girls worldwide are their families can't afford the cost of the school uniform. and when idaho native peyton mcgriff learned about this, she made it her college project. and today, her nonprofit every year provides specially designed uniforms to more than 1500 girls. and in doing so, transforming their lives when a girl enters our program, she not only receives a new school uniform, but she receives a full tuition scholarship full year of school supplies, a reusable menstrual kit, and a year round tutoring from our local staff after we provided our first round of uniforms, we realized our students were outgrowing them very quickly. >> so that was where the uniform that grows was born. it grows six sizes and up to 12in

can be different based on the zip code you live in and medicare plans can change every year. oh, and enrollment in a part c plan is not automatic. this can all be a little overwhelming. so take a deep breath and call the number that is up on the screen. >> now with one phone call, you can get your there are changes to your plan in the coming year, or if there's a 2025 medicare advantage plan available to you in your zip code with additional benefits or cost savings you didn't get last year. >> we'll put that number back up on the screen you can call this number now for your free medicare benefits checkup and speak to a licensed insurance agent who can see if you are eligible for a 2025 medicare advantage plan but remember, the medicare annual enrollment period is the time when you can change your medicare plan and the enrollment period ends december 7th. so call now even if you call before the call and medicare benefits checkup are

died in texas last year after being turned away twice from hospitals, even though she had

sepsis. the third time she entered the emergency room, she died from complications from her miscarriage. propublica has found multiple other women who have lost their lives after doctors delayed treating miscarriages, including jocelyn barnechea. joining me now is cassandra jaramillo, a reporter with propublica at the forefront of these crucial reports. first of all, tell me what happened with jocelyn. >> jocelyn garnica was a honduran woman in the houston area that was having problems with her pregnancy in the 17th week, she went into the hospital complaining of cramping and bleeding and unfortunately was made to wait 40 hours before she delivered and unfortunately, three days later, she died of sepsis sepsis seems to be the case here with these women. >> and in the first case she went, they said she had sepsis, right? but then they sent her home. can you tell me about the complications that these

restrictive abortion laws are having when it comes to things like miscarriages? >> what we're finding with our reporting at propublica is that there is a delay in care that these pregnant women are facing in texas, and we started our reporting out of georgia and then went to texas to try to figure out what does the landscape look there we know that maternal deaths are up since covid, and in the ukraine, these are women who who did not want abortions. they wanted their pregnancies. and tragically, the state law had put them in a gray area that um doctors were putting more attention to the fetal cardiac activity. instead of giving them the care that they needed at that time. or it wasn't an option at that time, i should say can i ask you about about doctors? >> is this fear that they are going to be prosecuted with the doctors? and both of these cases we made several attempts

to reach them. it's hard to know what was going through their head. in the case of jocelyn garnica jocelyn goes to the hospital days after this law gets enacted in texas and one thing that we can take away, though, is that there is, from our conversations with doctors in texas, is that there is this fear of professional ruin and now criminal consequences in the state i do want to ask you, we heard from a husband whose wife nearly died in texas because of these severely restricted abortion care in that state and he went online. >> he went viral talking about his wife and what she went through. and i want you to hear a little bit of it. his name is ryan hamilton she needed a procedure called a dnc and the doctors refused that care and kept sending us back home. >> after multiple visits to multiple hospitals across texas. they just kept sending us back home with a prescription for a drug called

misoprostol and the short version of that story is my wife bled profusely for four days, and i found her unconscious in her own blood in our bathroom, and she had to be rushed to the hospital for life saving care. >> she she was saved. but does that sound familiar? is that sort of what is happening? these sorts of cases it tragically, is very familiar. >> sarah, i think what our reporting is finding is that hospitals are discharging patients rather than assuming liability in these cases. and and they're documenting in real time the cardiac activity of these fetuses and patients are growing sicker. as the case of this husband who you know, the clip, you just ran and in the case of jocelyn in ukraine, they are two women who are no longer here and whose families are grieving them tremendously. >> what can can women and

frankly families do in these cases? what should they know about what they might need to do if they're in a state that has extremely restrictive reproductive care? >> yes. so at propublica, we have a lot of public information on, you know, what is to be expected in treatment. and we are also continuing this reporting on this project and hopefully bringing out some further reporting on solutions and helping with guidance for patients. and certainly one thing that with these families that was critical was them obtaining the medical records of their loved ones to be able to really see the timeline of how their care was handled. >> so it would be the reporting difficult as well, because you're not sure what exactly happened how the person may have died or been sickened that's a difficult thing cassandra jaramillo, thank you so much for bringing this story to us and showing us just what is happening with women in

places like texas. appreciate you. thank you sarah. all right, kate, coming up for us, the final jobs report before election day. the new numbers coming in right now we will be bringing it to you. and also this a halloween party turned deadly overnight in orlando. a gunman opening fire in front of police, killing at least two people. and you see the mayhem that kind of ensues. the quick response from officers all on camera enrollment period is now. >> you may benefit from a medicare advantage plan. you could be missing out on the benefits that you may need. why don't you call anello? >> what if they cannot help me? i mean you call was created by latinos for latinos. i'm sure they can help you. >> gracias. por llamar a anello. how can i help you? >> but look, they speak english. >> espanol claro and anello are licensed. >> insurance agents can help you in both languages. >> qué maravilla? >> look i have original

report is brought to you by ziprecruiter the smartest way to hire breaking news. >> just in the jobs report just dropped. cnn business anchor julia chatterley is here to break it all down for us. there is something in this report that has a lot to do with things that none of us can control. >> we were expecting the unexpected, and that's exactly what we got. there is a drop in this number 12,000 jobs added, net for the month of october. much worse than expected. but what the report says is, look we know there was severe damage in the south east of the country. it was a lot of hurricane damage. helene and milton of course, that's baked into the cake here. we've also got the strikes at boeing. so when you look at this number, you have to keep those things in mind. it's a massive drop of course, from what we saw in september that number was also revised lower down to 223,000 jobs. in fact, what we lost was

over 110,000 jobs over august and september so the jobs market we know is cooling. it was a little cooler than we expected. we've got to look through these numbers. that's the bottom line, sarah. what we were expecting is a hit for those two things. hurricanes and for boeing, strikes of somewhere between 60 and 100,000 jobs. if you add the best case back to this we're talking around 112,000 jobs added. it's a lot less than the average that we've seen i'm couching everything i'm saying here because we have 34 days until the next report, and i'd love to jump forward and look at that and tell you really what's going on in terms of the sectors manufacturing. obviously the boeing strikes that took a big hit down 46,000 jobs, net temporary help and services also took a hit helping us government jobs. you would expect that hiring people to help with hurricane damage up 40,000, health up 52,000. where does this leave us? it leaves us four days out from a presidential election. and you know exactly what's going to

happen. there are going to be people here leaping on this and saying the jobs market is collapsing. the jobs market is not collapsing it's cooling. keep that in mind 34 days till the next report, and then we'll get a bit of clarity. but for now, for today, it's a weak number and we were expecting something pretty weak. it is weaker than we were expecting, but as the bls is saying, there's a lot of noise in these numbers and believe me, that noise will probably come up in the campaign. >> it's going to be politicized. yes, it will try to shut it out. all right. >> julia chatterley, we will try but i'm glad that you got the memo at least we're in sync. >> purple queens appreciate it. >> all right, over to you john. all right. i got a map of georgia up from 2020. why? because today, early voting officially ends there. and as of this morning, more than 3.6 million ballots have been cast. that's more than half of the state's registered active voters. and republicans are returning their early votes are turning out in numbers. we have not seen before. where? well, i

want to show you towns, county tiny rural towns county. you can see really only about 8000 votes. there four years ago. this time around, they are turning out at the the entire state. a heavily donald trump county. four years ago, likely to be the same this time with us now. betsy young, the chair of the republican party in towns county, georgia. madam chairwoman, thank you so much for being with us. what percent turnout do you have at this point at this time, we high four years ago, how many did you turn out? how much did you turn out at the end of the day last time, what was turnout? four years ago i believe that we had a 60% turnout last year. >> last in in 2020, early 60% early. >> my goal was yes yes.

>> and that does not encounter absentee ballots um, this is just been incredible. um, the the enthusiasm and and welcome to god's country. here we are in little towns county at the top of georgia and north georgia is very republican so you say that four years ago you more reactive than proactive when it comes to early voting. >> so what changed well, i think that the message from donald trump was, please vote early and we are trump country here and we we listen to what he said. >> and also i think with the 2020 election, what occurred made us look into to just sort of sit back and

relax. and i've been involved in the republican party for a long time and the two things that we seem to do is procrastinate to the people. and i think that's changed this go round how much did donald trump casting doubt on early voting? >> and he did. he just did. he didn't like early voting. he didn't like mail-in voting. how much did him casting doubt on it hamper your efforts? in previous elections well, in previous elections, um it probably did hamper people did want to come to the polls on election day personally, i like just election day and having it a holiday and a pay day for people i've been that way for many, many years and it seemed to work. >> but um, the early voting and in so many different states, it's a very different time frame and i think that it it kept some people and they came in here in towns county. we had

a very good showing on election day in 2020. i can't remember what it was, but, uh it was not as it was more, i think, than our early voting. we were surprised. >> you don't have anything left to do next tuesday given how many people have already turned out early well we're still out there. >> we've got a big parade coming with six counties, and i think that's another reason we've been successful is that we've been very visible doing things in the community, doing things with other counties, which is very surprising because a lot of times it's, you know, it's my district and i want i want it done. my way. and we don't have that in the ninth district. we're we're very blessed to have a congressman andrew clyde, who is amazing, who is always available and and we just are thriving. and we're going to continue to do it. and we've got a watch party set for a terrific, uh ending on tuesday night um, i know you've been at

this a while, and you plan to step away from politics so congratulations on what may be your final presidential election in power there. >> betsy young thank you so much for being with us kate. >> thank you. >> also new this morning one witness now saying that they have evidence showing sean "diddy" combs allegedly victimizing celebrities. to be clear, this witness has not filed a lawsuit against combs he is not claiming to be a victim of any of the alleged misconduct. combs is currently behind bars awaiting trial after being hit with multiple felony charges including racketeering and sex trafficking. cnn's elizabeth wagmeister has much more on this latest development. elizabeth what are you learning so, kate, we know that combs was indicted in september, and since then he has been held in custody in brooklyn as he awaits his trial which is set for next year. >> but as he has been held in custody this investigation, this federal investigation has

been ongoing. i have had sources telling me over the past month that witnesses have been regularly meeting with federal investigators and now i have three sources who tell me that the grand jury has been regularly convening now. yesterday, kate, the grand jury heard from a male witness as you said, who does not claim that he himself was abused by combs but he claims to have evidence, video footage that he says contains footage of combs allegedly victimizing celebrities. now, we do not know the celebrities names, and it's unclear what exactly he testified about and what jurors have said. but his attorney tells me on the record that he did testify in front of the grand jury yesterday. now, this is the latest development in this ongoing saga. kate, we know that combs has at least two dozen civil suits against him. he denies all of these allegations. he says that he has never sexually assaulted

anyone. and i reached out to his team yesterday. they did not respond to comment about grand jury proceedings. but in a recent filing, his team did say that they believe that attorneys and their accusers have been speaking to the media and telling false information to the media, which they say is going to limit their client from having a fair trial. now, one more piece of news for you, kate. as we got this reporting about this grand jury testimony yesterday, the government this week in a filing also says that they have obtained 60 devices from combs that they say has more evidence that they are looking into so more to come. >> wow. elizabeth, thank you very much for your continued great reporting on this sara. >> all right. donald trump, out loud imagining a scenario where his political rival, liz cheney faces nine rifles pointed at her face. her response this morning ahead of the medicare

plan annual enrollment period is now open. >> of every year i have to listen to all these commercials. >> we're sorry karen, and we know it's annoying, but we want to make sure everyone on medicare knows it's time to check and see if they can enroll in a plan that will save money or include additional benefits. >> i just want these commercials to stop. >> honestly karen, we do too. but this is the only time of year when everyone on medicare can call and see if there are plans with additional benefits available in their area. >> i already have a medicare advantage plan, so these commercials aren't even for me. >> well, karen, plans may change every year, and the 2025 medicare advantage plans are now available, so i can call and not sign up for a plan. >> yes, the call and benefits review are free, with zero obligation to enroll. call now. just call ( 800) 508-7991. now that's ( 800) 508-7991. >> i still love to surf

snowboard and of course skate. so i take magnesium to support my muscle and bone health. kunal's high absorption magnesium glycinate helps me get the full benefits of magnesium. kunal, the brand i trust. >> this is an important message for everyone on medicare right now. is the medicare annual enrollment period. and today we are talking about medicare part c, commonly called medicare advantage. if you don't have a medicare part c plan, call now you may be eligible for plans in your zip code with additional benefits or cost savings. you may not be receiving now, or that may have previously not been available to you. different part c plans are available in different parts of the country, so don't wait. call the number on your screen now if you're on medicare, you can call even if you called last year. we will check to see if there is a part c plan available in your area with additional benefits or cost savings. call to speak with a licensed insurance agent before the end of the annual enrollment period. you don't get medicare part c benefits automatically so call now for

your free 2025 no obligation medicare benefits review. >> just call >> an election like no other. and it all comes down to this. >> we can now make a major projection the way only cnn can bring it to you. election night in america. special coverage begins tuesday november 5th at 4:

the harris-walz campaign, and this is cnn can you believe it? we are just four days out from election day, but this morning more than 62 million americans have already cast their ballots in early voting. cnn senior data reporter. come on in harry enten got my exercise in good times. he's joining us now to look at where things stand in the battleground states. according to polls. i mean, we've been watching this you have been talking about just how historic this could be, because it's so tight. what is

is there any shift, anything new that you're seeing out there? >> i mean, look, it's just tight, i guess that we're familiar to a little bit more blue across these battleground states than we're seeing right now, but look, it's historically tight, right? arizona is the widest margin at plus three for trump. georgia plus two plus one in north carolina. a tie in nevada. you come over here i think the biggest shift is we're used to seeing blue down here. less than a point. lead for harris in wisconsin a point lead in michigan but it's actually red. we got red in pennsylvania. if you take the average of polls again it's so so so tight. but it's trump by barely less than a point in the great commonwealth of pennsylvania. but the bottom line is this this has been a historically tight race. it continues to be a historically tight race. and i really have no real concept of who is going to win on tuesday. if you, the viewer do know please give me a call at 718. pollster and then you could tell me, don't believe

it, harry. i don't think anybody knows but there is always this race to 270 to see who gets the electoral votes they need to win. what is that looking like? >> yeah so, you know, essentially i want to point out a few little things here. if we look right now, you know sort of in the momentum that we're kind of seeing here, this i think kind of gets the point that i was trying to make you know, a shift perhaps in a little bit of momentum here, if you took an aggregate across the battlegrounds last month, a month ago, on october one. i can't believe that was a month ago. it was harris by less than a point. you look here now on november 1st, it's trump by less than a point across the battleground states. but the key thing to keep in mind is that the average state polling this is this. it's 3.4 points. so when you see stuff less than a point to less than a point, you could say maybe there's a slight hint of trump momentum, but that is well within any margin of error sarah. that's well within a margin of error this is just so, so tight nobody should be making any predictions. >> is what you're saying. >> nobody should be making any

predictions. but i'm going to just kind of show you what's going on here in terms of that map that you asked me. look donald trump 281 electoral votes, right? if we take it across because he gets here on the east coast, right? he gets pennsylvania north carolina, georgia, he gets arizona nevada way too close to call, gets to 281. but what happens here? what happens i mentioned that 3.4 points. what if you get a polling mess that benefits kamala harris. well then she wins all of these states. all these battlegrounds here as well on the southwest. yeah. kamala harris, the 319. but the polling could go the other way. right. and then trump gets all these states all these states, all these states. and you get trump to 312 electoral votes. so the bottom line is this sara sidner, i didn't know who was going to win on monday. i don't know who's going to win on friday. i'm not going to know until the votes are cast and the ballots are counted. this election is historically close. and again, if you know who's going to win please give me a call. so i can actually inform the audience. >> come on, harry, you've got

the numbers. you stick with those. thank you. >> thank you for coming on i appreciate it. over to you kate. >> thanks, guys. so this morning liz cheney is responding to these dangerous and reckless comments from donald trump last night >> let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrel shooting at her okay. let's see how she feels about it. you know, when the guns are trained on her face liz cheney, this morning saying this quote in response. >> this is how dictators destroy free nations. they threaten those who speak against them with death. these are comments like that. the repeated talk of the enemy within from within that have marked trump's entire presidency of late candidacy of late. and npr analysis found that donald trump has made more than 100 threats since 2022 to go after his perceived enemies. it's also the focus of a new york times opinion piece by prominent conservative legal

scholar, retired federal appeals court judge michael luttig he says this in the opinion piece there could be no higher duty of american citizens than to decisively repudiate a man who betrayed the nation when he was previously entrusted with the highest office in the land and now threatens the persecution of american citizens who have crossed him in the almost 250 years since the founding of the nation. no president before donald trump has ever so betrayed america. judge michael luttig joins us now. judge, thank you so much for being here. >> what donald trump said about liz on this morning, kate thank you. judge. what donald trump said about liz cheney last night. his allies in the past have explained it away and likely will explain it away, as he doesn't really mean what he's saying. what do you see as the danger when you hear him talk about his enemies like this kate, those despicable words nominee for the presidency who

americans will either elect or reject as the next president of the united states of america in just five days, were reprehensible. >> they were unprecedented. >> i cannot tell you how many emails and texts i received this morning that just said, oh, my god, and the only reply to those messages i could think of, kate, was yes! oh my god, every citizen of the country especially to themselves and to america to watch the video from last night, as i did before coming on this morning and pondered those un-american words by donald trump before they cast their votes on tuesday, the nation is now on notice. if it was not already, if

to the white house after those comments about our fellow american liz cheney statements that donald trump would make about any one of his countless other enemies from within, those who voted for him will get what they deserve. >> apropos of his reprehensible words last night, of course, harris spoke the most powerful words that anyone running against donald trump could ever speak. she said, i will give those who disagree with me a seat at the table those kate are the words of a president of the united states those are the words that americans especially republicans and independents, need to hear and desperately want to hear from their next president. >> you said in your opinion piece, judge that this is not a

difficult decision for voters. why is it then such a close race, do you think at this point. >> kate i will say this long before last night's insidious comments just talking about people people, kate, not not politics it has been beyond my comprehension how or why any woman in america would vote for donald trump. for all of the sordid reasons we all know all too well by nominating donald trump as their standard bearer. i think the republican party has created the perfect storm for the election of the first woman president in america, and i fully expect that the women in america will elect kamala

harris, that first woman president. this coming tuesday and kate if we ever needed a woman president, it is now, i know i would be proud and proud for america to have a woman president, a woman president in the person of the vice president of the united states, kamala harris >> this has long been your party you you write very powerfully about what direction you think your party has taken and what has happened to your party in your opinion piece. and you have spoken about it. and there's also then leaning on your expertise in law, the decision on presidential immunity. then coming from the supreme court giving presidents broad immunity from prosecution, how much
