>> former president trump attacks one of his top republican critics, former congresswoman liz cheney, saying she should be fired upon what both campaigns are saying now about those comments. plus, a new jobs report only muddying what is already a very blurry picture of the economy. we'll break down the numbers and the impact that it could have just four days before the presidential election. >> plus, an emergency appeal by republicans to reject certain ballots in a battleground state. much more on the legal challenges underway in pennsylvania. >> we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here with cnn news central campaigns turning their focus back to that blue wall, hitting
10:02 am
the trail in two critical battleground states. >> later this hour, we do expect to arriving in wisconsin ahead of kicking off the first of three campaign events across the state today. the race for the badger state's ten electoral votes. it is neck and neck. the latest cnn poll of polls showing no clear leader. >> former president donald trump will also be campaigning in wisconsin tonight, holding a rally in milwaukee. but he begins his day in the key swing state of michigan and his campaign is trying to clarify after major backlash with the former president's remarks about former congresswoman liz cheney. listen to this 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, you know they're all war hawks when they're sitting in washington in a nice building saying, oh, gee will, let's send let's send 10,000
10:03 am
troops right into the mouth of the enemy cnn's eva mckend is covering the harris campaign for us. >> but we want to start with cnn's kristen holmes on the fallout after these can you tell us well boris and brianna, obviously the campaign is taking issue with the characterization of these comments. >> they want all the comments to be played in full, which, of course we just did to show that they say donald trump was using remarks that have been used before. obviously, it's donald trump. so he has gone so much farther in terms of calling her a chickenhawk. that's what they say, that he was doing, was saying that she is a war monger, but that she would never go to war herself. and that's what they've been trying to hammer home in various statements and calls that we've been fielding today. this is the exact statement they gave us. and i do want to read this. they say president trump is 100% correct, that warmongers like liz cheney are very quick to start wars and send other than go into combat themselves. this is just a continuation of a la the latest fake news outrage. days before the
10:04 am
election, in a blatant attempt to interfere on behalf of kamala harris. obviously that last part is just simply not true donald trump did say those remarks, which we just played in full. i think a couple of things one, democrats clearly seizing on this to. donald trump doesn't have a lot of goodwill when it comes to comments like this because of the fact that he has called democrats the enemy within because of the fact that he has said that people need retribution, essentially, that he would be seeking revenge if he was brought back into the white house. however, they are saying this is not part of those kind of comments that donald trump has made in the past, that this is a separation that he was simply saying that she should go to war herself if she is going to call for wars. she's also he is also went on to call her a moron stupid. various different name calling. within this it is clear that liz cheney is somebody who has gotten under his skin regardless of these past comments, we know that to be the case, particularly as cheney has been on the campaign trail campaigning for kamala harris. but one other thing to note here everything both of these candidates say is under an enormous amount of scrutiny.
10:05 am
so saying these comments at a time close to the election, obviously is going to cause uproar because everyone voters, media, we are all watching everything. both of these candidates say all right, kristen holmes, thank you very much. >> let's go now to eva mccann. she is following the harris campaign as they're responding to trump's comments about liz cheney. eva, what are they saying? >> well, brianna, we're still waiting to hear vice president harris respond to this trump cheney fallout directly. but more broadly, the campaign argues this type of episode illustrates he's unfit to return to the white house. so much of harris's strategy is based on messaging to disaffected republicans voters, who may not agree with her on every policy matter, but can't embrace the chaos that, in their view, came to define the trump era. but we are seeing a strong contrast in how they're making their closing arguments and harris believes trump's tone the positions that he is taking just in the last several days that it positions her well to make an appeal to those alternative to be an
10:06 am
alternative, rather and directly to those undecided voters and, eva, what can you tell us about the harris campaign strategy at this late stage? >> she's crisscrossing >> she is boris. i was with her yesterday in phoenix. what we see from the vice president is her consistently trying to characterize herself as a unifier, also leaning heavily on the strength they believe of this issue of reproductive rights. she's back in battleground wisconsin today here in georgia, tomorrow, then north carolina, michigan and pennsylvania all before the votes are counted. the campaign has long maintained they are competing everywhere and see every battleground state, as in play eva mckend. >> thank you so much for that update. the economy, of course, one of the top issues that voters are weighing and the last significant piece of economic data before election day is now out. it's the october jobs report. >> that's right. the labor department saying today the job market. the growth fell well
10:07 am
below expectations, adding just 12,000 jobs. we have cnn's julia chatterley to break down the numbers. julia, this was the lowest job growth since 2020. there are a number of reasons what happened. >> it's certainly a jarring jobs report. and you're right strikes storms and potentially some slowing of jobs market growth to the challenge. we've got is it's tough to quantify how much of each. and that was the overriding message, i think, from the bureau of labor statistics. they said, look, we saw a, quote, severe impact from hurricane helene and from hurricane milton, and that they couldn't quantify the impact so that leaves us grasping around to understand to the numbers as you pointed out, 12,000 jobs added for the month of october, a fraction even of what we were expecting. and clear, we were expecting a hit of somewhere between 60 or to 100,000 jobs as a result of
10:08 am
those boeing strikes and the storm impact. even if you add the best case scenario, this does look like a softer report. then take the revisions to the months of august and september. we saw 112,000 less jobs added over those two months too. so it's not a collapsing jobs market. it is a cooling jobs market in terms of the sectors. let me just give you a look. it's what you would expect. we saw a big hit to manufacturing. we saw a big hit to temporary jobs as well. we saw gains from government hiring jobs and people and from health care as well. what's most interesting to me guys very quickly is the unemployment rate 4.1%, unchanged through all this noise, perhaps that's the best way to look at these numbers. and the jobs market and just wait for next month. quite frankly, what does this mean? and where does this leave us? four days out from a presidential election plenty of room, i think, to politicize this report to that point,
10:09 am
julia, how do you expect both camps might try to gain the edge with this report? >> it's certainly a curveball for the white house. they've said, look, let's wait for next month's jobs numbers. and i would have to say i agree with that. the trump campaign is calling it catastrophic it's not. we know this is a solid economy, but we know that the jobs market is slowing to a gain. let's wait. the 34 days until the next jobs market report and that we can then see what we can get silver linings guys, six days till the federal reserve meeting this is consistent with a quarter of a percentage point rate cut. so that's good news at least for borrowers. and let's wait till next month to make judgments all right. >> we will wait because you said so julia chatterley thank you. and we're joined now by democratic congressman dan kildee of michigan. congressman yes. strikes hurricanes. but this is a curveball. this jobs report is not good yeah i mean
10:10 am
obviously we'd like to see more robust job growth, but i think it makes the point do we want to stick with the administration that has been growing jobs for the last four years, or do we want to go >> i mean, right here in my home communities of mid-michigan, we lost jobs under donald trump jobs right here. it's a troubling report, but it really begs the question, do we want to stay on the path that has created record job growth and maintain low unemployment? or do we want to go to the chaos of donald trump and all that? that means he lost. we lost jobs when he was president. we can't go back to that, especially now. >> you will be heading to flint today. you'll be campaigning with governor walz what do michiganders need to hear from him? and vice president harris i think we have to continue our closing argument and that is that we have a to do list. >> we want to continue to build manufacturing jobs in this
10:11 am
country we are having success. we want to stay that course number one. and secondly, we want to put behind us the politics of anger division resentment. you know, donald >> kamala harris has a to do list that's the question that we pose for the american people do you want retribution and anger and angst and name calling, or do you want to roll up your sleeves and get to work to continue the progress that we've made under the biden-harris administration i think it's a clear choice for michiganders congresswoman slotkin, who is running for senate in michigan, was on cnn earlier talking about the secret women's vote. >> i wonder, do you think the polls are missing, secret or ghost voters yeah, i don't have aggregate data on this, but i've been out with our door knocks i've been on the doors on those porches. >> and what we've heard from
10:12 am
many people is that we have split households. and in fact, in some cases, they say you know, like for example, we go to a door and one of them might have a trump sign in the front yard, but typically because of the gender difference differential that we're seeing in this race typically the woman in the household is saying look, i'm with kamala so i'm not sure how that shows up in polling. all i know is right now, you know, it's going to be a close race, but the energy is on our side. a lot of it has to do with people who are just sick to death of this sort of anger and venom that donald trump introduces to the political process. >> but it also is about reproductive rights. it's about the economy. it's about our democracy all of that falls to our advantage. the interesting thing is that there's some recent polling that shows there's almost no undecided voters the decision are for voters who don't know if they have a stake in this race as to whether they're going to participate. so our argument
10:13 am
really is not to appeal to people to change their minds, but to activate themselves based on what their interests are and get to the polls. if we do that, we'll be fine. >> so you're saying you personally, as you've gone door knocking, have encountered these split households where the wife or the woman in the house is saying that she's going to vote for harris while her her husband or partner is going to be voting for donald trump. can you tell me a little bit more about those interactions and the conversation, or conversations that you've had yeah, i mean, i've had just had a conversation the night before last with with this in this precise context where, uh, this particular woman's husband has clearly decided he's voting for donald trump. >> you know, i could argue that with him, it wasn't going anywhere. she was open to kamala harris. maybe not on every issue, but on sort of the fundamentals. and it falls into two categories. one, women's
10:14 am
rights women's reproductive rights. clearly are on the ballot in the united states, no matter what donald trump says he wants to take us back. he engineered the change that resulted. >> so the woman was open, or she said she would vote for harris. and where was this? >> i'm just curious in this, in this particular in this particular case, she was going to vote for kamala harris. but what we're and we're picking that up in other places as well and of course, the data shows that when you see such a gender gap, it's logical that some of that is going to fall within a household and that's what we're seeing here in michigan. >> and when you're talking to people, are these women who voted for trump before in some cases >> i don't think we saw quite the gender gap that we're seeing this time around, as we saw in 2020 or even 2016. and i think largely that does result from the full understanding
10:15 am
that donald trump is proud of the fact that the supreme court, that he engineered has taken away women's reproductive rights. and of course, the way he speaks about all of this, the way he speaks about people in general, but also speaks about women in particular, the liz cheney comments, for example, that's really offensive to a lot of the folks that i'm talking to. and so some of them may have been trump voters, but they're just sick of him. they're just done with him. and they view mirror all right. >> and then just on the flip side, mark cuban, who's a vocal view yesterday about trump. you never see him around strong, intelligent women ever so he's sort of, uh stuck his foot in his mouth when it came to women. do you think that is going to have a negative impact for harris who he's backing >> first of all, it's kamala harris that's on the ballot, not anybody else who might be
10:16 am
making commentary. and her record is fairly clear. uh, and the difference between donald trump and kamala harris couldn't be more clear. no matter what anybody is saying or how they're characterizing it. i just think we take them at their word, listen to donald trump, listen to kamala harris and make a, you know, come to a conclusion and if you do that, uh, men women, independents, republicans democrats, many of them are finding their way to kamala harris. >> all right congressman dan kildee, thank you so much. here we are. just a few days out. we'll see what happens. thank you sir. >> thanks brianna. >> still ahead. legal battles underway over absentee and mail in ballots in battleground states like georgia and pennsylvania. ahead, we'll talk about how those challenges could impact the race. >> and new details on an urgent scramble inside the white house to clean up president biden's garbage gaffe. stay with cnn news central it all comes down to this. we can now make a major projection
10:17 am

fred, how are you? fred? >> support up to seven brain health indicators including memory. check your mail for exclusive nariva deals. >> i'm rafael romo at the georgia state capitol in atlanta. this is cnn single vote could be critical to winning the white house, republicans are battling in court to throw out early ballots if they were dated incorrectly. we have cnn political correspondent sara murray here on this story. so sara, how could this affect the final result? >> well, this is an ongoing fight about the date that goes on these ballots. you know, in the past, people have filled it out incorrectly. they put their birth date, they put the wrong date, they forget to put a date on it. and so then the ballot doesn't count. and so this is a fight over whether these ballots should count. and the question is whether what a lower court ruled could actually apply to this election that, you know, the ballots could count even without the dates. what i want to say is that voting rights groups are saying this is a murky situation. if you have not handed in your mail in ballot yet, make sure you fill out the date properly to ensure it could count where we could see
10:22 am
this really come into play. is if there are very tight margins in pennsylvania, and we see this kind of post-election day litigation about whether to count certain batches of these ballots that have the incorrect date on them we should point out, in pennsylvania, joe biden won last time by about one percentage point. so every vote is enormously important there's yeah, there's also something going on in georgia where there's a civil rights group asking a court there to extend the deadline to return absentee ballots for more than 3000 voters. >> this is in cobb county. walk us through. what's going on there? >> yeah, this is in cobb county, georgia, and officials there have acknowledged that they got this surge of last minute absentee ballot applications and that it was difficult for them to process them quickly and to get them out the door. they're now taking steps to try to do that as quickly as possible but there is a lawsuit essentially saying, we want you to extend the deadline for when you will accept these ballots until november 8th, rather than election day on november 5th. so there is a hearing in that matter today. we're waiting to see where it lands and staying
10:23 am
in georgia. tell us what election officials are calling an obviously fake video that's alleging voter fraud there. >> yeah, i mean, we've been talking about this fire hose of mis and disinformation that election officials are dealing with. this is another great example of this. this is a video that's coming out of georgia that purports. well, let me just tell you what, brad raffensperger said, because he describes what's in the video. the secretary of state, he said earlier today, this was last night, our office became aware of a video purporting to show a haitian immigrant with multiple georgia ids claiming to have voted multiple times. this is obviously fake and part of a disinformation effort. likely it is a production of russian troll farms, and we just heard from u.s. intelligence officials who are saying, yes, we do believe this is a russian disinformation effort. the problem here is not just that it's a russian created video. it is that we are seeing political operatives on the conservative side in the state of georgia amplifying this and continuing to share it, even though we saw this prompt
10:24 am
officials in georgia there are a lot of conservative republicans in georgia who just don't trust brad raffensperger and his officials after they refused to overturn the results in 2020. >> despite this slate of new laws that were put into place in georgia, specifically >> yes, exactly. there is a voter id law in the state of georgia. they've made it more difficult in many of these cases to be able to cast your ballot in a ballot drop reason we're seeing such high, you know, early in-person voting numbers in georgia is because it's just much less convenient to do these sort of mail ballot drop boxes. so, yeah, it has been sort of the process has been tightened in georgia but the misinformation is still running rampant. yeah, it's very important to give us that reminder sarah. thank you. so we're learning more about the steps that president biden's aides took to clean up his controversial remarks earlier this week. and when he appeared to call the supporters and how career staff at the white house rush out a corrected transcript. >> cnn's senior white house correspondent kayla tausche joins us now live. kayla, this has to be a surprise for the
10:25 am
stenographers to be in the headlines. what happened? >> yeah boris. white house stenographers often say that they don't work in service of an administration. they work in service of the truth. and to establish that truth as a matter of record, there are very formal processes that they follow. and according to emails obtained by the associated press earlier this week after the white house press office pushed out single handedly, an edited transcript after conferring with those comments where he described trump supporters as garbage, where they said in their transcript that there was an apostrophe that president biden meant to refer only to the comedian not to all of his backers but according to one of those emails, here's what the stenographer said. if there's a difference in interpretation, the press office may choose to withhold the transcript. but cannot edit it independently our stenography office transcript released to our distro shorthand for distribution, which includes
10:26 am
the national archives is now different than the version edited and released to the public by press office staff now at issue is the presence of a supervising stenographer, which is usually when there is a difference between the official transcript and what the press office suggests that the transcript should be, and that supervising stenographer, according to this reporting, was not available on an urgent basis following the president's comments and so there was this dispute over whether there should be an apostrophe in those comments. and outraged to some effect by the fact that now the press office record is being treated as the official record, and there will be some editing that will need to happen behind the scenes. but really guys, you know, ultimately it is problematic because it's up to the viewer biden's comments were on camera on tuesday evening, meaning that regardless of what the official transcript says, it's up to the viewer to decide what they heard and what they
10:27 am
believe. biden meant. >> brianna. yeah absolutely. it's problematic for the harris campaign because now they're talking about an apostrophe instead of talking about what they would rather be talking about. kayla tausche from the white house, thank you so much still ahead, an israeli military source says the idf is at a high level of readiness for a response from iran. it comes as a high ranking source tells cnn that iran could respond to israel's attacks before the u.s. presidential election. we'll take you live to the region in just moments political analysis we have questions. >> how biden set the right off stayed awake. why did trump pull out of 60 minutes? >> i love pulling out. >> this is a news network. have i got news for you tomorrow at 9:00? on if you have heart failure, vasica can help you keep living life with the ones you love. ask your doctor about vasica today. vasica can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal

>> 808 two one 4000. >> an israeli military source says the country is at a high level of readiness iran after israel's airstrikes last week on iranian military targets. >> but a former israeli intelligence official tells cnn there is a high possibility that militia groups in iraq will be used by iran to carry out that potential retaliatory strike. let's get to cnn chief global affairs correspondent matthew chance for the latest on this. matthew, what are you expecting here? what are you hearing well, first of all, brianna, this comes after cnn was told by a high ranking official inside iran that there would be what they call definitive and painful responses to israel's attack. >> last week on military targets inside inside iran. one of the the the possibilities being considered here in israel is that that retaliation if it happens could come from one of israel's proxies potentially
10:33 am
pro-iranian groups iraq. now, the reason for that is because these groups are very close to iran politically and geographically and crucially, they haven't been degraded in a way that other proxies like hezbollah in lebanon have been, which in the words of one analyst who i spoke to earlier today, is now fighting for its existence. that analyst, who is a former colonel in israeli intelligence telling us that she thinks there's a high possibility that any response from iran will come through iraqi militia groups that are pro-iranian. as you mentioned. the israeli government has said it's on a high state of readiness in case there is kind of some kind of a response, but they're not going out there yet and saying look, we definitely know there will be one. they're saying they're still looking at the decision iranian leadership to determine whether or not or what exactly
10:34 am
iran intends to do. so. you know, the country very much sort of bracing tehran does in the days and the weeks ahead. >> matthew top white house officials are now back in washington after this latest effort to try to push for a pause in fighting ahead of next week's election. we should note what happened during those talks well, i mean look, i don't think anything concrete was achieved except there have been some pretty optimistic and positive statements coming out of both sides saying that, you know the various sides have moved closer together. >> you know, but, you know, having said that look, the objective of these talks was to push forward a diplomatic solution for a ceasefire in lebanon to stop the fighting in gaza and to get a release of the israeli hostages. there are 101 of them still being held inside the gaza strip. and even though it's positive that talks are underway to try and, you know, make that happen, you
10:35 am
know, there's been no progress really on any of those fronts. there's been an intensification of israeli strikes in lebanon and in gaza. and, of course, the hostages are still very much in uncertain circumstances being held inside the gaza strip. >> all right. matthew chance, live for us from israel. thank you. the death toll is still rising after catastrophic flooding in spain that we've been telling you about for days here. just look at these pictures. more than 200 people are dead. but there are >> emergency crews are now racing to find survivors airlifting stranded residents in areas destroyed by flood water. cnn's mosquera is in spain following the latest and filed this report. >> volunteers and civil defense personnel are working against the clock in many different towns of valencia to try to find those dozens of missing people and also working to clean up the different roads that lead to these cities. this is a case for example, where we
10:36 am
are right now. we are four kilometers away from chiba. one of the most affected towns by this devastating flooding. here in the image, you can see some of these volunteers and personnel are right now working, trying to remove all the mud, the water, the debris that was blocking this road and this is important because that's the only way that the emergency service can get inside of these cities mayors of these towns are asking for immediate help to get some water, some food for their to highlight in this road, as in many others here, there were tons of cars of bands that were blocking the traffic. we were told earlier that some of the officers deployed in this point that they have worked severely over the last hours, and while they were towing away some of these cars, they found some
10:37 am

congressman two years ago in a district that joe biden won. he joins us now. congressman, or rather josh riley, thank you so much for being with us. almost, congressman, i should say i apologize. i'm so early. of course, earlier this week, your opponent accused you of filing lawsuits against trump era immigration policies, trying to in his words, dismantle border security. what's your response? >> well i'm really glad that you asked me about this because, number one, those allegations are not true at all. there were two lawsuits that i filed both, by the way were on behalf of senior homeland security officials from republican administrations who are arguing for tougher border security. but here's the thing he's saying this and making up these lies because he doesn't want to talk about his own record of failure on this issue. both democrats and republicans have completely failed when it comes to solving the crisis at the southern
10:44 am
border. and folks here in my district are incredibly frustrated with democrats pointing fingers. republicans pointing fingers, everybody playing games with this instead of solving the problem. and my opponent has had a bill sitting on his desk for two years that would have solved the problem, and he decided to reject that because he wanted to campaign on the problem, not solve it republicans have criticized the biden administration for not acting sooner on the issue of immigration. >> they did take actions this summer, executive actions that seemed to slow the number of illegal crossings. but again, that wasn't until this year, after those numbers broke records. how do you think a potential future harris administration should approach this issue differently? >> well, they better do a heck of a better job than they've done over the last couple of years. the biden administration was a failure when it comes to the border. waited too late did too little to solve the crisis. the republicans also complete failure on this issue, rejected
10:45 am
a bipartisan deal that was supported by the border patrol union. that would have solved it around here in upstate new york, we care quite a bit less about whether it's democrats or republicans and we care a whole lot more about getting the job done. and both parties have failed us on this. >> i do want to ask you about another key campaign issue, and that is abortion. you've said that your opponent has a dangerous record on abortion. he explained to me this week that he opposes a national abortion ban, that he was the first republican to sponsor legislation protecting ivf and birth control. he argues that these kinds of decisions should be made between a woman and her doctor. do you see that as a dangerous record? do you see the issue differently that's a nice thing for him to say on tv during an election season. >> it would be even nicer if his voting record actually reflected that. and it doesn't. he's a 30 year career politician who has been anti-choice every single step of the way and when he got to
10:46 am
congress, he voted not one time, not two times, not three times, not four times. he voted 13 times to restrict women's access to abortion services. and i know he's pleading with everybody to believe him now that he wouldn't support a national abortion ban but here's the truth. when he was behind closed doors in the fall of 2022, right after roe v wade fell, he expressed his support for an abortion ban. and here's the here's the most important thing on this. i believe you asked him. i've asked him voters have asked him, would you please support the women's health protection act and put roe v. wade back into law? and he refuses to do it. it's been sitting on his desk for two years, and he won't do it. i'm making a commitment to my voters. you send me to congress i will sponsor the women's health protection act. i will do it on day one because women can make their own health care decisions. >> josh, when it comes to the kind of race you're running, it has a lot to do with turnout and obviously the top of the ticket matters, especially in a place like new york that is expected to go blue as it has
10:47 am
over multiple previous presidential cycles. i'm wondering what it's like to run in a situation where whatever vice president kamala harris does whatever former president donald trump does impacts your race so much especially when we've heard some of the rhetoric that we've heard from president biden calling trump supporters trash to multiple things that trump has said about for example, women saying that he's going to protect women even if they don't want protection to. the most recent comments that he's made about liz cheney, how does all of that sit with you well so there's two, two questions there. >> one, how does it sit with me? not well, i thought joe biden never should other night. i mean, i grew up on birdsell street in west endicott, which is a blue collar neighborhood where just about everybody worked in the factories and just about nobody cared about your political party and to this day, i don't know
10:48 am
friends are democrats and republicans. i know there's a lot of folks who support president trump and they're the people who raised me, and they're wonderful people. they're not garbage. with respect to the top of the ticket affecting this race, i actually don't see it the way you described it um, voters in this district were not a swing state for the presidential election. voters in this district are focused on the issues that matter in this district one of the things that i talk about probably the most on the campaign trail is bringing good manufacturing jobs back home to communities that have been hollowed out by terrible trade deals, communities that have been sold out because the big special interests come in and buy a whole bunch of politicians with the corporate pac checks. we're all just sort of fed up with all of that, and we want change. and that's why i'm running for and that doesn't change based on what's happening at the top of the ticket josh, one final question. >> just a point of clarity. >> this district, binghamton slash ithaca, this is upstate
10:49 am
new york because you guys are right on the border with pennsylvania so right before we went on, i was debating with my producer whether it was upstate new york central, new york. >> is it it's so so this is this is actually one of the best questions. >> and we could talk about this forever. i'll have to come back on. we are definitely upstate new york. my line for this. so we have columbia county we have green county. we have a big part of ulster county. all of that is upstate. new york. once you go across the river into dutchess county you're downstate. and that's that's where the line is. we are we are upstate new york through and through. and i bet a lot of your viewers have very strong views on this i would love for them to text josh to 30343, text josh to 30343, and you can tell us where you think the line is between upstate and downstate. >> josh riley, thank you so much for joining us. appreciate your time. >> thanks. i appreciate it. thank you. >> still ahead la dodgers fans celebrating their latest title. we're going to explain why some democrats are taking this as a good sign before next week's
10:50 am
election >> 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 4:00 on cbs. >> are you sure you tend to exaggerate. >> go ahead. >> call him yourself. >> thank you for calling. aetna. this is ann. how can i help you? >> do you really have medicare plans that cover dental vision and hearing? >> yes. all three. plus, we have plans that include a monthly allowance for certain over-the-counter products. >> really? >> see, they're great. but what's all this going to cost me? >> we know things can add up quickly. that's why aetna has medicare advantage plans with a $0 monthly plan premium and $0 preventive screenings. >> oh, i like that. >> then i think you'll like our strong network of doctors and you can manage it all in our mobile app or on our website.

10:52 am
and then the customer. and if you call with a problem, that's when they say oh, well, we're the manufacturer. you have to call the installer for that problem or vice versa. we're the full service replacement window division of andersen with us. there's no passing the buck at renewal by andersen. we sell build, install and warrant our windows and patio doors. so if there's ever an issue, we take full responsibility for it. >> why don't you sell vinyl windows? >> it doesn't matter if it's a $200 window or a $1,200 window. a lot of vinyl windows just don't last for energy efficiency and beauty. there's a much better option. our windows fiber composite material is available in nine designer colors, and it's much more durable than vinyl. well, fibrex is low maintenance, like vinyl, but stronger than vinyl. and it's beautiful, like wood, but doesn't require the upkeep of wood it's renewal by andersen black friday savings event buy one window, patio door or entry door and get the next 140% off. >> that's 40% off with a
