pointing to new reasons for hope. with just four days to go before election day the meantime, former president trump is on defense after escalating violent rhetoric against his opponents this time suggesting former congresswoman liz cheney should be fired upon. >> we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central to see vice president kamala harris touching down in the key battleground of wisconsin. >> she is blitzing across the state today with three campaign events in the final push to election day. former president donald trump is holding two rallies today, beginning in michigan and later in milwaukee. >> but as trump gets back on the trail, his campaign is attempting to clarify these inflammatory remarks that he made about former republican congresswoman and harris supporter liz cheney. listen, 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 troops right into the mouth of the enemy so this is happening while we're getting in some exclusive reporting about how the harris campaign, quote, fully expects former president trump to declare victory on tuesday before the votes are counted. >> we have cnn's mj lee covering the harris campaign from west allis. but let's begin with cnn's steve contorno, who is in michigan. steve, how is the trump team responding to this backlash about his comments about liz cheney >> they just put out a statement. moments ago saying that the donald trump said exactly what he meant. and let me read exactly to you what he

said. president trump is 100% correct that warmongers like liz cheney are very quick to start wars and send other americans to fight them, rather than go into combat themselves. this is the continuation of the latest fake media outrage days before the election, in a blatant attempt to interfere on behalf of kamala harris. now, i should point out that this has appeared to threaten liz cheney. he previously read truth a post on social media that called for military tribunals for liz cheney and said she was guilty of treason. he also posted someone else's social media post saying that she should go to jail, along with 14 other democratic officials. now, cheney, for her part, has also put out a statement on social media responding to trump's remarks, saying, quote, this is how dictators destroy free nations. the threats that they threaten,

those who speak against them with death now, cheney, of course, has become one of vice president harris top surrogates in the campaign as she tries to convince republicans that they should choose country over party. and that is a key message for harris in these closing weeks. donald trump, meanwhile trying to convince his supporters and those undecideds that the cheney and harris joining forces is a sign that republicans and democrats are lining up against you to protect the status quo. and only he can be the person to take them out. he will take the stage in just a couple hours behind me in michigan, and then he will go on to wisconsin trying to make a dent in what we are seeing might be a slight edge for vice president harris in these two blue wall states. the latest polling from cnn showing her with a with a slim lead going into these final days, that trump is going to try to to win back steve contorno live for us in warren,

michigan. steve, thank you so much. let's go now live to cnn's mj lee, who is live in west allis wisconsin. mj how is the harris campaign responding to these comments from trump about liz cheney well we've yet to hear directly from the vice president herself on these comments about liz cheney from donald trump. >> but we certainly expect that whenever she does address them, to hear a strong condemnation of those comments and really any kind of rhetoric that incites political violence, we did just hear from some senior campaign officials though, who basically said, look we think that this kind of rhetoric, this late in the game can still whether it is the comments that you were just talking about that trump made about liz cheney or the kind of rhetoric that we heard from some of the speakers at donald trump's recent madison square garden rally. they said it can have sort of the

away from donald trump on this call with reporters just now something else that the harris campaign said that they were readying for is the possibility of the former president declaring victory early on tuesday. this is what one senior campaign official said they said this should be no surprise because he lies all the time and he wants to sow doubt about a loss that he anticipates is coming. >> now we are standing outside here in milwaukee, where later tonight the harris campaign is going to be hosting a big rally featuring celebrities like cardi b obviously a part of the last minute 11th hour push to mobilize voters as much as possible in this critical state and i'll tell you, you know, talking to democrats who are working on trying to elect the vice president to the white house, it's pretty remarkable how much still, we are seeing sort of the ghost of 2016 looming over and haunting this party this, of course, would be a reference to when hillary clinton lost the presidential election to donald trump. and

in the course of losing, she lost all three of the critical blue wall seats, including this state of wisconsin, a state that she ended up not setting foot in once during the general election. so this is certainly a mistake that the democratic party does not want to repeat with kamala harris going for the presidency. and that is why we've seen such a focus from this campaign on this state, really, since day one. boris and brianna, mj lee live for us in west allis as we are set to hear from vice president harris hopefully in moments from now, we'll of course bring you those remarks live. when you look at the numbers, there are reasons for optimism from both candidates. and harry enten is just the person to explain those reasons to us harry, when you look at the numbers, wait, you're not you're not well, there it is. the final day of harry's yellow board. do we have confirmation on that? harry no. in fact, i'm getting further and further away from the magic. well, at least i was next to it yesterday. today they've stuck me in a flash.

maybe i'm just a little bit too loud in the newsroom. boris, i don't know what's going on, but the magic of the yellow board is back. and what i can tell you is that i don't know who will win. and we can look at good signs for both trump and harris. let's start with one of them right now. and it's a good sign for the former president of the united states. i do believe, and that is the right direction. wrong track number. all right. just 28% of the country believes that the currently the united states is on the right track look at the average for the when the incumbent party is lost, it's 25% pretty much equal to that 28%. the average when the incumbent party is one, which is obviously the democrats is 42%. i've looked back at presidential elections since 1980. there is not a single case of the incumbent party holding on to the white house when so few americans believe that the country is on the right track. so this is a good sign for donald trump okay, so what's the biggest sign that harris will win harry? okay, why don't we look

at the polling data and we'll say which candidate is better liked donald trump or kamala harris? let's look at the net favorable ratings. well, if you look at the net favorable ratings for kamala harris, you see that she is better liked than donald trump. minus two versus minus seven. now you go back through history and you say, okay, which candidate has won since 1956, 16 times. the more popular candidate has won the one with the higher favorable ratings. like kamala harris has just one time, the less popular candidate has won. now i will note that one time was donald trump back in 2016. but keep in mind hillary clinton was so unpopular on him, far more unpopular than kamala harris right now. so you look at the net favorable ratings, and they suggest that in fact, kamala harris is the most likely candidate to win. >> harry i'm going to ask you the same question that i've asked you now for three days in a row, the same question many of us will likely be asking going, who knows how many days from election day? what does the electoral map look like okay, so let's assume that the polls are imperfect.

>> and let's say that we have an average miss, but we don't know which direction the average miss will be let's say it's an average polling miss and it benefits kamala harris. she wins all the great lakes states. she wins north carolina wins. georgia wins nevada wins arizona. she gets 319 electoral votes. but let's say in fact, the polling miss goes in the other direction. and the polls underestimate donald trump like they did in 2016 and in 2020. well, then all those battleground states the three great lakes battleground states, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania and the southeast, north carolina and georgia and in the southwest, arizona and nevada go in his camp he gets 312 electoral votes. so the bottom line is, i have no idea who is going to win, but the only thing i do know, guys, is this. >> and that is have a great weekend drink is that coffee? >> is that spaghetti what is that on the end? >> oh, what is that on the end? oh you know what that is. no. on the have a great. oh on the

it's all over it's it's it's the it's the popcorn. >> it's the popcorn. popcorn. that's what it is popcorn friday. >> but it is popcorn friday. >> it's popcorn friday. but have a great have a great weekend. there we go. i got it. yeah. >> we can't let those popcorn fingers near the magic board until you dry out those. i got to wash them off. i'll take a little purell or water and soap works too. harry. >> that's what my mother, the former pediatrician, says harry enten have a great weekend. >> you too all right, let's talk more about this now with democratic strategist chuck rocha and kristen davison, who is a republican strategist and partner with axiom strategies. all right. you guys you hear it there. harry's got the case. he's looking at the stats for why either candidate could win at this point i'll ask you both the same question where's the momentum and why well, i think you know if harry doesn't know how we're going to know, but how does it feel when you look at feeling to you? >> both campaigns have a reason

to be happy. they both have states to point to for example, the trump campaign should point to arizona and say, this is really coming. our way. the harris campaign is probably looking at arizona and say, that's slipping away. i think you could probably look at michigan and say, okay, the harris campaign is building some strong momentum. there and kind of that's their their bright moment. but then you get to pennsylvania and wisconsin and we've been so obsessed with pennsylvania as being the decider. i'm from pennsylvania. i'm all home girl about it, but i think we're starting to see that wisconsin actually might be the pennsylvania that we've been talking about as both candidates are there today. >> look, i've worked on a lot of presidential races, and momentum means more than you think. it does at the presidential level. it's something very unique that doesn't happen at the senate level or the house level in the 2020 primaries. joe biden won four states on super tuesday where he didn't have a single staffer because momentum mattered. i was running bernie sanders was a little salty about it, just like harry's fingers. i was a little salty about it so it really makes me mad that momentum matters that much. when i had spent a lot of time building organization in states, and then when everything consolidated, there

are things that are out of our hands, is what i'm saying. but when you go right into the end, it's about those last little bit of votes most folks who care about an issue, if you're a woman and you care about choice, or if you got donald trump posters at your house and you love all it's those last few undecideds are going to really make the difference. >> i have a number of questions that i want to ask you about. some of the rhetoric that we've heard recently, and how it might sway voters. we're hearing from trump himself talking about liz cheney, jd vance yesterday was on joe rogan saying things about normal gays and also talking about women not facing prosecution because of the overturning of roe versus wade. and then you have uh, joe biden and the garbage gate. the clarification coming from the white house and mark cuban making these comments about women. i'm more curious about how all of that rhetoric generally might impact voters. what do you think? it's a lot of noise, and it really doesn't matter at the end of the day. but there are small portions of it and small pieces of the country like allentown,

pennsylvania that really do matter because of certain things. when he's talking about the stuff with liz cheney, the things that harry said is really the biggest thing is most of the folks in the country don't think the country is going in the right direction. donald trump has every advantage there. the other side of that is in focus groups that i'm doing in all of these states, folks don't like donald trump. again, if you've got a poster of donald trump at your house, i'm not talking to you. i'm talking about regular folks. that's where this thing really comes down to. and the last point on that is, that's why i think the puerto rican comments hurt. so much, because in little places like allentown it's enough of a difference with a marginal persuadable voter universe that really could come down to that. >> well, the most important thing for both campaigns right now don't take the bait, harris. you know, yes, there were comments made last night that people could get upset about and parse over. don't let it take you off message when you know, mark cuban says something insensitive. don't let it. we're talking today about comments that trump made last night, instead of the fact that jobs numbers were anemic that came out. we should be talking about the poor economic numbers we just received. but instead we're going back and forth about about comments. so the best thing that both

campaigns can do is close their message strong and not get distracted about these things. these are going to happen. make no mistakes. ignore them. the strongest thing you can do is not give your opponent oxygen to that point. harris officials are saying about this um, obviously they have their perspective, but they think that undecided voters, by the data that they're looking at, are breaking in their favor. and we should note that if you look, you know observer after observer democrat or republican, if they look at the closing arguments of these candidates are making, they'll say, donald trump is really making a base play. he's really trying to energize his base and get them out. harris is still trying to broaden her appeal a little bit and maybe that goes to the question of which one is working, which strategy may be working. what do you think about them saying the undecideds are breaking for them? >> you know, i don't believe there are too many undecideds left right now. we're talking about are you decided whether you're going to go vote? so if you're undecided right now you either, you know, are not

really tuned in. you have other things going on. it's probably 5% if that um, but you might not care enough to, to go vote both campaigns. and maybe this is what what harris means that they're breaking their way. they're giving them a reason to come out and vote. they're giving them a reason to get off the couch, to actually come over when they really were kind of apathetic about the about the race to begin with i don't think there's a whole lot of persuasion going on in the last 72 hours. if you're persuading in this final stretch. i mean, that's really tough it's all about getting your vote out. and if some of those late deciders now, i don't think that someone today is who they're talking about, i think they're talking over the last week. we've seen both campaigns have moments of momentum. and if they're seeing those deciders break their way, that's going to make the difference for people, especially since their early vote has been lagging in key places like philadelphia and atlanta. it's really going to come down to these folks who normally don't vote older folks are voting earlier in pennsylvania that's a sign. >> i think that's where harris gets some of these numbers of like, they want older folks who are better with regular voters who show up at every election. i've been looking at early voting numbers of who are the ones that are showing up now, who aren't normal voters, or who normally vote on election day. donald trump is really leaned into trying to get his vote to vote earlier by mail. he's

never done that before, so it's skewing the numbers what about the jobs report, chuck kristen mentioned it. >> what do you think? >> i think that that's something that that donald trump could be using every single day. but i don't think he can get out of his own way to do it. i think if i was just a strategist telling him, it would just be another indicator to drive home what harry just said about the way people think about the economy. or do you think your life was better back then? >> we'll have to see the day is young yet and there are many opportunities. it is just beginning, chuck. it is just starting. kristen and chuck, thanks to both of you. and ahead this hour on cnn news central, why the factors that would make a kamala harris presidency historic could also be the same hurdles that hurt her bid for the white house street rate >> yet why are so many legendary investors quietly ignoring that advice and instead selling the stock hand over fist? every billionaire on

>> i'm veronica miracle. outside of a polling station in california and this is cnn if vice president harris wins the white house next week, she'll make history and not just because she would be the first female president, but also because she would be the first black female president, the first south asian american female president. >> and even though her campaign isn't talking about that voters may be thinking about that as they're making up their minds. >> cnn's chris wallace spoke about those factors with another democrat who has made history and that is maryland's first black governor. wes moore. chris, great to have you, as always. what did wes moore have to say about that? well we all know that there's a gender gap that harris leads among women by roughly ten points. trump leads among men by about ten points. but one of the things that's interesting is that trump is doing very well even among black men, which led me to ask this question to governor wes moore

which do you think is a bigger obstacle to kamala harris being the next president of the united states? >> her race or her gender? >> uh i don't think you can separate, um, separate that because i think, you know, we have a two headed problem in the united states that racism and sexism both still very much exist inside this country and we know the bar continues to be higher for her. when you're seeing the type of campaign and the type of antics that donald trump is running, that people seem to not care about. and so i think you're dealing with the kind of this, this two headed monster of racism and sexism. um, and but let me just, if i may ask you about that, because somewhat black men and basically said, i know you're having trouble voting for a woman. he was, in effect, saying, you're going to vote against a black woman because she's a woman.

>> yeah, i think that um, the thing that for a lot of black men they want to understand and feel that we're being spoken to and not spoken with and not spoken at three. >> so, i mean, it's interesting and clearly kamala harris realizes she's got a problem here because she has talked about a whole set of policies that she think would promote black entrepreneurship of it is directed directly to black men. so she understands that it's not just a race issue that she's got to deal with. it's also a gender issue. yeah. and do they feel understood, which i think is such an interesting part of the conversation that you had with moore there. i do want to ask you about something that that trump said which of course is this liz cheney comment as he was making the case that she's basically a warmonger but doesn't fight wars herself, and he suggested that she should be fired upon there's kind of two questions here. >> this, you know how dangerous

is this and how does this affect things politically? >> i think it's very dangerous. i can tell you, talking to people in the republican camp who have come out against donald trump, including liz cheney, including cassidy hutchinson, um they get death threats. they feel are very concerned about their security. so no, trump wasn't saying go shoot liz cheney. but when he raises the idea, hey, well, how would she feel if she had a bunch of a bunch of guns quote, trained on her face? i think it's very dangerous. you know, all it takes is one crackpot to see that as somehow a permission slip politically it obviously doesn't help. it's it's a dumb, stupid statement. it's only going to turn off more women, you know between biden and trump and the comedian and all of that. i'm beginning to wonder whether this election is going to go to the person who doesn't make

the last stupid remark it's notable that some of the criticism or rather some of the defense of trump for his statement that the effort to sort of clarify what he was trying to say is coming from the same folks that criticized president biden when he talked about trump being in the bull's eye, meaning it than than trump apparently did. >> chris i wonder what you make of the kind of rhetoric that we're hearing, in the sense that it's not just more sort of weaponized and militarized, but it's being specifically directed with intent in other words, it fits into a pattern of trump talking about resentments and a desire for revenge. >> well, there's no question i mean, he's the man who has said, i am your retribution. clearly, he feels that a lot of his base, uh is angry. is resentful, is alienated, feels that they're being preached to and have policy made by an elite that advantages other elites, but not them. and he is trying to speak to that

resentment. but again, to go back to this comment about liz cheney, you know, you could sit there and say, oh, well, you know what? he's really saying is, you know, she's all for wars. but she can sit back in washington. but this is the same guy who's talking about the enemy within and talking about the national guard and even the military conceivably being used and when people say, oh, okay, it's just uh, violent protesters. he talks about nancy pelosi, he talks about congressman adam schiff. so there does seem to be i mean, if you if you believe what the man says he does seem to be indicating that the use of force against his political enemies. i don't i don't think it's a stretch. >> and, chris, what else can we be? what can we be looking forward to? what else on your show? who's chris wallace talking to next? >> uh, well, it is him, i will tell you. i asked westmore. first of all, let me say to people who don't out there know westmore. he is a remarkably

magnetic political figure i think he's got wild political skills. if he were a stock, i'd invest in him. and i think whether it's in 28 or 32, he's only 46. uh, we'll be talking about him as a possible presidential contender. but at one point i asked him he's a big football fan and he we actually play a video where he takes a pass, a really skillful reception of him quarterback of the baltimore ravens. that's it. honestly, governor, if you had to choose political career or you could be a good pro football player and he says, no question, i would have traded all of my politics to play pro football. it's a perfect game and it's not even close. and he said, i've actually begged the coach of the baltimore ravens. he, of course, is a baltimore ravens fan coming from maryland. i have begged john harbaugh, the coach, to let me be a raven for a day. >> that's chris wallace, thank tune in to who's talking to

network to say if cnn will be able to call a winner in the presidential race. >> on tuesday. but the harris campaign believes that regardless of the vote count, former president trump could declare victory whether or not he's actually won. let's discuss the latest in the presidential race with republican congresswoman nicole malliotakis from new york. congresswoman, thank you so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. trump did

2020, and he was wrong. do you think he might try that again well, look, i think that everyone would be wise to wait a little longer considering what happened, where the votes changed and people woke up in the morning and it anticipated. >> i think at the end of the day, this will be a close election and people do need to come out and vote. and we have to make sure that every single vote is counted. i do believe that president trump has a little bit of an advantage here, being that he has stuck to the issues that people truly care about including securing the border, the economy, making america more affordable and prosperous again, showing people that he brought down unemployment to record lows for hispanics, for women, for african-americans. and he created millions of jobs through his tax cut and jobs act, which provided an across the board cut, not just for job creators, but for the middle and working tax credit for families. something else that people care

about. so as long as he sticks to the issues and continues to talk about, he's the one who's going to bring security back to this country, support our law enforcement in america's cities like mine the nypd. and talk about the economy. i think that he will have an advantage going >> as you know congresswoman, the former president has a tendency to weave, as he describes it at times. yesterday he weaved when talking about liz cheney, calling her a war hawk openly wondering what it would be like if she were in conflict and had a rifle and was surrounded by nine rifles. i believe, he said. do you think that that that is appropriate? it doesn't sound like you think that sort of talk is helpful for a campaign. >> look, i would stay away from any talk about shooting or violence, but what i will say is that he was trying to make very clear that that there are politicians too often in washington who vote to send young men and women from this country to war and yet they would not fight themselves. and i think that that is what he was clearly trying to say, and that, you know, it's a little bit of an exaggeration or a

twisting of his words. i believe in the media, but he was trying to just make the case that we should be protecting our young americans and not send them off to conflicts unnecessarily. and i think it's just as clear. it's very clear do you think he should avoid talking about cheney? >> overall it seemed to bolster the perception that he's sort of obsessed with revenge to to persecute his rivals and that sort of thing. do you wish he would, just as you said, sort of focus on the issues and not talk about his personal vendettas? >> look i wouldn't be focusing on liz cheney at all. if you look at what liz cheney said about kamala harris four years ago. i mean, she she clearly said that she was a candidate to the left, that she was a socialist that she would be destroying this country, that she would be supporting the open borders. she said terrible things about kamala harris. and now she just flipped to support her. this year. so i would say people should go back and look

at what she's originally said about kamala harris before taking her endorsement of her very seriously. yeah, i think president trump is a winner when it comes to policy. >> congresswoman, i'm sorry to interrupt, but let's go to madison, wisconsin, where vice president kamala harris is speaking right now. let's listen. you heard me say many times my pledge to the american people is to pursue common sense solutions, to listen to those, even those who disagree with me, to listen to experts and to be a president for all americans. >> donald trump's closing argument is very different. >> he pits americans against one another. he spends full time having americans point their fingers at one another, and he spends a considerable amount of time plotting his revenge on his political opponents as of last night. just to add more, he has indicated that the person who would be in charge of health care for the american people is

someone who has routinely promoted junk science and crazy conspiracy theories, who once expressed support for a national abortion ban and who is the exact last person in america who should be setting health care policy for america's families and children. >> and then even worse he has increased his violent rhetoric. donald trump has about political opponents. and in great detail in great detail, suggested rifles should be trained on former representative liz cheney this must be disqualifying anyone who wants to be president of the united states who uses that kind of violent rhetoric is clearly disqualified and unqualified to be president. >> representative cheney is a true patriot who has shown extraordinary courage in putting country above party. trump is increasingly, however,

someone who considers his political opponents the enemy is permanently out for revenge and is increasingly unstable and unhinged. >> his enemies list has grown longer. his rhetoric has grown more extreme and he is even less focused than before on the needs and the concerns and the challenges facing the american people. i have also thought a lot about what this means in terms of our standing in the world. >> as vice president, i have represented the united states of america around the world and what i know is that when we walk in those rooms representing the united states of america we have the earned and self-appointed authority to then talk about the importance of democracy, the importance of rule of law, and as a result, people around the world who are fighting for

up as a model america deserves better than what donald trump is offering america deserves a president who understands our role and responsibility to our people and to the rest of the world to be a model. >> so i'll end with this. voters are making their decisions. many have voted, but there are still those who are making a decision about who they will vote for and what i offer is i ask folks to among the many issues before you just consider who's going to be sitting in the oval office on january 20th. either you're going to have donald trump there who will be stewing over his enemies list or i will be there working hard on your behalf, on my to do list. that is the choice among many that is at stake in this election and i would be proud to earn the vote of the american people. and i do intend to win.

>> with that, i'll take any questions. >> we are happy to. have you had a chance to talk to liz cheney and then secondly, are you concerned about her general security and considering the situation and how tense things are? do you think that the government or the administration in some form, provider with security in this situation? >> so i have not talked to her since this comment was made, but i will tell you, i know liz cheney well enough to know that she is tough she is incredibly courageous and has shown herself to be a true patriot at a very difficult time in our country. we're to your point. we see this kind of rhetoric that is violent in nature, where we see this kind of spirit coming from. donald trump that is so laden with the desire for revenge and retribution and liz cheney is a tough person. she is an

incredible american and i have an incredible amount of respect for her. courageous and that we will always make sure that we are all fighting against and speaking out against any form of political violence you spoke about >> what is your assessment? what is the data that you are seeing across the battleground i'm seeing the folks who are showing up at inviting people to come and talk with us, and where we are talking about the issues at stake. >> and i'm seeing an incredible amount of enthusiasm from people of every walk of life, every generation, from our first time voters to to folks who are seniors and have a lot at stake on issues like social security and medicare and what i am enjoying about this moment most is that in spite of how my opponent spends full time trying to divide the american

people, what i am seeing is people coming together under one roof who seemingly have nothing in common and know they have everything in common. and i think that is in the best interest of the strength of our nation served by a lot more women showing up in pennsylvania. a lot of democratic women, first time voters, women men, folks of every background are showing up quite a lot of interruptions during your speeches recently. >> a lot of pro gaza protesters, and you know, you certainly have spoken about democracy and responding to them. >> but do you think that you need to say a little bit more about the mideast conflict or about what you would do to try to satisfy them? and are you concerned at all about how you'll do in college towns and in michigan in particular with them? president trump today is going to dearborn, is going to a palestinian restaurant. he really is the second kind of

arab american restaurant he's gone to. >> he seems to be really trying to make a play for a group that was traditionally be pretty democratic. >> um, do you think you've done enough to reach these voters well, i'm very proud to have a significant amount of support from the arab american community, both because of my position about what we need to do in gaza and in the region to end the war and bring the hostages home and my commitment to a two state solution but also because within that community, there are many issues that challenge folks and that they want to hear about, including what we're going to do to make housing affordable, what we're going to do to bring what we're going to do to invest in small businesses i have a plan for all of those things, and that is something that resonates within that community and with all americans they're going to protest that they want to show the administration that what they did that the policy and the support for israel is wrong

and are going to make a statement and that they don't care if it makes trump the president. what would you tell them? >> so there's a real contrast in this race when you look at who stands for democracy and democratic principles and who does not, donald trump is talking about an enemies list. he is talking about using the american military to turn on american citizens he talks in a way that suggests that there should be retribution and severe consequences. just because people disagree with him my point is very clear. i believe in our democracy. democracies are complicated in a wonderful way because we like debate, we accept and receive differences of opinion, and we work them out. one of the reasons i am going to have a republican in my cabinet is because i want different views.

i, i enjoy and benefit from diverse views from different perspectives that allow me then to make the best decisions i can make. that's a big difference between me and donald trump, and that's the big difference between someone who truly is a leader and someone who is in it for themselves and wants unchecked power. >> thank you. thank you okay. thank you all >> we've been listening to vice president kamala harris live, speaking to the press and answering questions in madison, wisconsin on the tarmac there shortly after landing before heading to a couple of events. she has there today quickly, i just want to say thank you to new york congresswoman nicole malliotakis, who had to cut off to go to the vice president there harris attacking donald trump on his rhetoric, describing it as disqualifying saying that the former president is increasingly unstable and unhinged she defended liz cheney, saying that she is a true patriot. but there the vice president didn't directly address the

substance of what trump and his team are claiming that he was trying to say that cheney is a warmonger, in their words, who sent americans into danger without having the experience of serving herself, which we should note. donald trump didn't do know he had five draft deferments including one questionable one medically for bone spurs alleged bone spurs, and she was asked there also about the arab american vote people who are concerned certainly in the key state of michigan support for israel's war in gaza that they will consider staying home. she really didn't touch it at all. she pivoted very much to this message of democracy and the democratic principles in america are at risk in this election. i want to bring in kristin davis in back as well as chuck rocha to talk about this first, to the liz cheney comment and that's a that's a

big headline where she's saying that it's disqualifying. i think in any other election, it would be a bigger headline. but she is saying, kristin, that it's disqualifying for a presidential candidate to use that rhetoric. >> it's it's not the first time she said that. that's a continuation of her case that that donald trump has an enemies list and she is a to do list. i think she probably should have said we have a to do list that i have a to do list. i would probably hit her for saying what's on your to do list. probably too political but um, that's not a new argument for her. i do think she was smart to stay high level and not get too down in the weeds with the comment, keep it focused on a similar message that we saw when she gave her speech at the ellipse earlier this week. that's that's a unifying message for an undecided voter or maybe a relapsed republican who's a little hesitant about crossing over she's reaching out to them there. i do think that was effective. she needs to be done now. now move on go back to your message. go back to wisconsin. don't spend all day today talking about liz cheney. she did say liz cheney's name one too many times in those

remarks, i think address it and move on. you have four days. if you were talking about liz cheney for four days, you were losing chuck. >> you're great. yeah. no, i don't agree. i think that what she was doing is she can see the data that i can see every single day and the reason for these small little bit of undecideds that may still be there. and every focus group that i do in a battleground state, it's about this presidential and looking presidential there's a lot of folks looking for a reason to vote for her she's only been in this race for 100 days. donald trump's been running for like eight, ten years. they know everything they need to know. we talked about it being baked in in focus groups. folks are looking for an adult in the room. she's trying to stand in front of that plane and be presidential is what she's trying to do. i think that works, except everyone knows who donald trump is. he's been in public life for decades. if you don't like donald trump and you think some of his comments are disqualifying, you are either not voting for him or the economy is so bad and the country is so unsafe that you don't care. and so i don't think it's convincing anyone because if that worked on you, you were already in the harris campaign in wisconsin there's 47,000 people in wisconsin that voted for nikki haley in the

primary. they're looking for this in less than 10,000 votes difference. >> kristen, i want to ask you about nikki haley because the reporting is that she's given the campaign her number. she's been waiting for a call they've not called. should they it's probably too late yeah. you know, at this, at this stage of the game, nothing it doesn't matter who's campaigning with you. no offense to people who are doing it. it's great. it creates momentum. it's fun. i think you know jay, last night was fun, but i don't think she was you know, convincing anyone to vote for harris. and so i don't i don't think it necessarily matters. i know you know, haley was in the state in pennsylvania. i mean, i think it has the out of all the swings. 150,000. and so it was effective for her to be there for the down ballot candidates. it helps them get a crowd, helps them get momentum. but i don't think it necessarily she's already endorsed him and so if you're a haley voter and you needed that permission slip to go and vote for donald trump, she's already given it to you. so you don't have to actually have her there in person. the trump campaign has has their schedule. they have their you know, their rally. they run a show. i don't think it necessarily

makes or breaks it. whether they have haley there or not. >> and i don't think that call is coming. >> call me. maybe not. >> there you go. i like it. >> uh, kristen chuck, appreciate you sticking around, being patient hanging out with us. thank you so much. still ahead on cnn news central, if you asked voters what's at stake on tuesday how many do you think would answer the climate? it's an issue that everyone talks about, but few apparently base their vote on. we'll discuss in just moments actually, it's a pretty funny story. >> is he taken it's all yours we got separated. >> oh, no. >> but again, you. >> it's you. you got separated again no. how do you plan to find her? >> oh, i just don't say fate destiny. basically. how you met was a total serendipity our holiday story. check your local listings. part of countdown to christmas only on hallmark channel. >> omaha steaks semiannual sale is back. save 50% sitewide on

fact, the new york times siena college poll finds that climate change is the top issue for just 1% of likely voters so where are the candidates on this issue? we have cnn's chief climate correspondent bill weir with us. and, bill, you write on cnn.com today that looking back through time, it's hard to imagine a more severe or consequential gap between candidates on a single issue. tell us about that. >> well think back. i mean, if lincoln had lost in the 1860s or reagan or fdr had had ignored their generals about what was happening in europe, the american experiment might have ended. but most of life on planet earth might not have noticed. right? but now we have science everywhere, at every level of american government around the world, warning us that the health, wealth, and happiness of 8 billion people about a million plants and animal species that are on the brink of extinction depend on a climate imbalance that is careening off course faster

than anyone predicted. on one side of the debate here, on one side of the ballot, you've got a party that wants to do something about that, and the other side, you've got the climate denier in chief who spent his first term really ignoring or downplaying the problem. here's a little sample. >> these people, i don't know if they're for real but if they're not, they're covered by the words climate change. if it gets cooler, that's good. if it gets hotter, that's good. we have countries that have tremendous nuclear power. and when i hear these people talking about global warming, that's the global warming you have to worry about. not that the ocean is going to rise in 400 years. an eighth of an inch and you'll have more sea front property, right? if that happens i said, is that good or bad? i said, isn't that a good thing lng is being sought after all over europe and all over the world, and we have more of it than anybody else. and i'm not going to lose that wealth. i'm not going to lose it. on on dreams, on

>> it'll start getting cooler. >> i wish you just watch. i wish science agreed with you well, i don't think science knows. >> actually sort of climate progress of the last four years. >> on day one, pull america out of the paris climate accords pull back the tailpipe emissions, methane standards, all those sorts of things. so it is couldn't be more clear as to which side of the ballot the planet is on here. >> bill. and one of the things that you mentioned was at stake when it comes to climate change. and what it could impact was wealth. the wealth of 8 billion people, republicans have now for years before or after arguing that climate change didn't exist, have since argued that too much action on climate will hurt the economy. what is the counterargument? >> well, the counterargument is now that the inflation reduction past there is hundreds of billions of private dollars. now pouring into new forms of energy. take a look in minnesota sherco the biggest

coal fired power plant there is slowly being replaced with solar panels due to the inflation reduction act without laying off any of the energy workers there. so the customer base may not even know it, but it's not just in a blue state like minnesota, 75% of the inflation reduction money is being spent in red states. i think we got some pictures of us in texas the greenest state, despite their politics and industry, because wind, solar and storage is now so cheap, it makes the most economic sense even oil majors know the transition is inevitable, but it comes down to the speed. right now and bill gates told me, if the united states waffles on this all those hundreds of billions of dollars in clean around the world. it's a choice not just for wealth. as you say, health and happiness everything that pollsters don't really connect the dots on when they call somebody and say, do you put climate at the top of your list voters wrongly assumed it's a menu item.

it's the whole restaurant boris furano. >> yeah. so interesting. did you stand on top of that windmill, bill? >> yep that's me. >> i'm like getting vertigo watching you in that. i'm like uh. >> so fun, so fun always, always amazing. bill we're always adventurous. we appreciate the report thank you so much. you bet. >> and we'll be right back third shop. >> my assistant went to customink.com to get new uniforms with all the locations he found. great products, uploaded new art, and had boxes sent to all the shops, custom ink makes it so easy. get started today@customink.com. >> like a relentless weed. moderate to severe ulcerative colitis symptoms can keep coming back. >> start to break away from uc with tremfya with rapid relief at four weeks tremfya blocks a key source of inflammation at one year, many people experienced remission and some
