this from the new york times showing other polling showing harris narrowing the gap with donald trump. harris narrowing the gap with donald trump. the latest poll puts donald trump's lead over ms. harris at 1%, within the margin of error, 48% to 47%. it was donald trump at a rally on wednesday talking about his new opponent in the 2024 contest. [video clip] >> kamala even wants to pass laws to outlaw a redmeat's to stop climate change. that means no more cows. this means no more cows. eventually she will be no more people. if you want a socialist health care, nation wrecking inflation,

the death of american energy, and a line radical left liberal san francisco extremist as your commander-in-chief, then kamala harris is your candidate. she is the one for you. just like she destroyed san francisco she will destroy our entire country. let me tell you, it is in pre-bad shape right now anyway. caller: the former prep -- host: the former president on wednesday. this is another headline this morning out of the brookings institution. asking "can kamala harris convince undecided voters to vote for her?" saying her nomination might get support from young voters and her advocacy for the pro-choice cause could get modern suburban women to reconsider their choice. we want to talk to undecided voters 100 days out from campaign 2024's final day.

let us know what your decision will come down to. if you're an undecided voter in the eastern or central time zones (202) 748-8000. in the mountain or pacific time zones, (202) 748-8001. anne is in north carolina, undecided, good morning. caller: i was calling because it is three months since i have gotten through to you and i have had some things to say being an independent going back and forth from tv channel to tv channel and watching what was going on. i had so much faith after he got shot, which i am sorry for. i was hoping he got the touch from god that he was saved for a purpose. i don't mean to say how god works, i have no idea.

right now about him tapping trump on the shoulder and giving him a chance to change and he has not. that is sad because he has everybody in his hands -- not everybody, but a lot of people in his hands. i am from right outside charlotte and i did not get to go to the event. i am glad he did not because he said it is all right if i talk ugly. i thought what is he going to start now and he started and he did not stop. now i am not heartbroken because now kamala is on the scene and i think she will make a more honest president. prompted his own self in if he loses because he cannot shut his mouth. what he could do for the country be damned, he cannot shut his mouth. he needs to shut his mouth. thank you so much.

host: you say you're an independent. caller: it started with him -- it was him in the first time in 2016. he started -- i am not an ugly person by nature, i like to be happy. that is the way i was raised in the baptist church. not to bring the church in. i think your character has a much to do. i think our president needs to be somebody with character. i watch both channels, all the channels, and i go to fox all the time. i heard them last night talking about how they ever thought they could trust kamala harris

because she lied about biden being sick or whatever he is. what about the thousands of lies trump has told? how can we trust him? that is basically it. i cannot trust him. this one lady on tv said she expected him to be nice and they were watching it on tv and she had to take her kids out when he started saying walla was dirty. he uses awful language -- started saying kamala was dirty. he uses awful language. character in the way you talk to people. he does not have to be that hateful to win. he is not going to change. that is all i have to say. host: will stay in the tar heel

state. this is sarah. caller: i have a problem. i watched ms. harris talk about women's rights. she said it was not a government decision, but yet she works for the government and she is promoting all of that. as far as donald trump, i am sewed undecided about this election. you never hear her talk about the economy or gas prices. i have a major problem with her and him. you have a blessed day. host: explain more of what your problem is. you mentioned your problems with her, what are your problems with him? caller: she is going on the ticket with abortions. i am strictly against them. he is going on the economy. we are in trouble. he is going on for women's

rights. -- she is going on the ticket for women's rights. women know what they need to do. we do not need ms. harris to tell us what to do. she never speaks to the economy. she never speaks to the gas prices. we are hurting in the united states. i am not sure but i will vote for mark robison for the governor of north carolina. all of this other stuff i am undecided about the president. host: sarah in north carolina. in tennessee, undecided voter, what will it go down to for you? caller: have 12 inquiries if they have the presidential debate in september. these are concerns i believe the citizens of the united states are concerned about. host: give me your top two or

three? caller: the first would be the military. why are we downgrading our military culture? the economy -- the economy, the industry, our resources have a stranglehold. that is another one. then the border. we have too many people and then supporting our allies over our enemies. it seems like we are catering to russia and china and leaving israel out to dry. host: when you think you will make your decision?

caller: i will probably wait until after these debates they have in september. i want each candidate to have a fair chance to explain their positions and policies. right now the policies this administration is showing, and this is across america. i am as average as you can get. it is very concerning the direction of our nation. our children's welfare, our future. i have never seen it this way my entire life and i have kept up since the 1960's. it is something else. i appreciate you letting me talk and express these concerns but there is a total of 12 that i would like to see addressed in

the upcoming debate. host: thanks for the call from tennessee. down to new orleans. this is bill. undecided. caller: undecided. to know the gentleman on the others, the former president is already convicted by his peers, it appears to me he is looking to stay out of jail. if he does not win he goes to jail because more than likely with other pending suits he has a hard road ahead. otherwise -- also, the policies that have come about with what we have been told of the project 2025, it is amazing to think there are so many people that have such distorted -- in my opinion -- thoughts about where our country needs to go and how it needs to get there.

to remove the rights of anybody, women, men, children, whomever is not a positive direction. host: what makes you undecided at this point? it sounds like you're pretty predecided on those issues. caller: i don't see where the right is making advancements that are going to be a positive direction for this country. what i am undecided about is we have to find out more about what the projection is for the use of project 2025. the vice president has a positive direction in what she says will be how she gets where she is going. to think that in the united states we need drill, baby

drill. we are already producing as much fuel and gasoline as these refineries will produce. host: you mentioned the vice president. this is the vice president at her first official campaign rally for president this week. [video clip] >> before i was elected vice president, before i was elected senator i was elected attorney general of the state of california and i was a courtroom prosecutor. in those roles i took on perpetrators of all kinds. creditors who up -- predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. hear me when i say i know donald trump's type.

[applause] in this campaign, i promise you i will probably put my record against his any day of the week. host: that was vice president kamala harris tuesday of this week. new polling out as this week has moved on since the sunday announcement from joe biden that he will be stepping out of the 2024 race that there are more undecideds as we move within 100 days of election day. we want to talk to undecided

voters only. if you're undecided who you will vote for give us a call and tell us why and what you think you will make your decision on and when you think you might make this decision as we enter the final stretch of campaign 2024. (202) 748-8000 if you are undecided in the eastern or central time zones. (202) 748-8001 if you are undecided in the mountain or pacific time zones. we will also look for your texts and tweets as well. this is ben onort carolina. e arthe choices to undecided voters. the democratic party who throughout its head despite his accomplishments because of a bad debate perfo. the repn pay which is devoted to a convicted felon, third-party candidates with no chance of winning, righted candidates which represent protest votes that are utterly useless. in short there are no choices."

this is carol out of massachusetts. you are next. caller: i do want to say i am undecided. i think trump has a personality that is unusual for most people and hard to understand. he is a businessman and i think he would do better as far as the economy is concerned and also closing the border. i think there are major problems. as for kamala harris she is getting the hollywood treatment and she seems to me to be full of herself. i do not think she has the experience on the worldwide. vladimir putin is probably cracking his hands because biden was a weak president, and kamala harris, for her to stand up to

pruden and china, she just does not have the background. i think more experience, they are major problems. it is not just what is happening now. it is what will happen to our future. if our future is going in the same direction it has been going with biden as president i think we are in real trouble. that is what makes me very much undecided. i lean towards handing this big economy and a more businesslike fashion and not overspending. we are in debt up to our ears. a lot of money is just paying off our interest. the personal things like women's rights and things like that, they are issues, but my concern are the worldwide issues of what will happen to ourselves in the future. host: you mentioned the

hollywood treatment and money. one story in that on the front page of the new york times. since the announcement of her presidential campaign ms. harris has not only raked in $130 million from small donors but also is gathering big check after big check from billionaires and millionaires as they stockpile money for the newly renamed harris victory fund. harris campaign official spent tuesday and wednesday energizing their support from beverly hills to the hamptons. about 40 high-powered executives joint assume call organized by a super lawyer, the former new york city mayoral candidate and a few others to discuss how wall street can best support the ticket. in hollywood harris campaign officials joint calls tuesday and wednesday with people from across the creative entertainment industry to talk about fundraising and organizing celebrities on behalf of the harris campaign according to two

people with knowledge of that outreach. the page in the new york times today. this is mike in virginia. good morning. caller: good morning. i am undecided because i agree with trump on no tax on tips and stopping the war in ukraine. also i think he is a threat to democracy and he will not accept the election. he will call it rate. -- he will call it rigged. i also disagree with harris. i have heard that turnover on her staff is 91%. that does not sound right. i do not like getting involved in the war in ukraine. i am not sure where i will go. i am tired of choosing between

the lesser of two evils. i will tell you social security and medicare -- they go along with trump. trump does not know what he is doing. i do not like kamala harris that much either. host: what does it come down to for you? caller: i'm just worried about my social security and medicare. that is why i might go with harris but she is not my first choice. host: would joe biden have been your first choice? caller: i was not going to vote for joe biden because of his support of israel. but i want to put domestic policy first.

i am worried about social security and medicare. even though i lost my job during joe biden administration, and i was directly affected because of the ukraine war. i think i am more leaning towards harris that i do not like my choices. host: you mentioned israel. what did you think of benjamin netanyahu's address and kamala harris meeting with him yesterday. i don't know if you saw that interaction. caller: he is a pathological liar. i do not like hamas and october 7. it started years ago with the brutal occupation. benjamin netanyahu worked with hamas to divide the palestinian cause and prevent the establishment of a palestinian state. he funneled money to hamas to do

that. then he talks about hamas. it is about pro-palestine. it is not about hamas. it is about a cease-fire. many choose were living in the arab -- many jews were living in the arab world in harmony before the zionists started establishing a state in israel. it is not about jews, it is about zionists ideology. host: finish up. caller: i am done. i just think 99% of our politicians are bought and paid for. that is why i think we should ban lobbyists and money in government.

citizens united allows this to happen. i really hate money in government. it just corrupts our politicians and they do not represent us, the represent special interests and lobbyists. i don't know if the people rule anymore. host: that is mike in virginia and this is the vice president after meeting with benjamin netanyahu yesterday. [video clip] >> with over 2 million people facing high levels of food insecurity and half a million people facing catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity, what has happened in gaza over the past nine months is devastating. the images of dead children and desperate hungry people fleeing for safety, sometimes displayed for the second, third, or fourth time.

we cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. we cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering and i will not be silent. thanks to the leadership of our president, joe biden, there is a deal on the table for a cease-fire and a hostage deal. it is important that we recall what the deal involves. the first phase of the deal would bring about a full cease-fire, including a withdrawal of the israeli military from population centers in gaza. in the second phase, the israeli military would withdraw from gaza entirely and would lead to a permanent end to the hostilities. it is time for this war to end. and to end in a way where israel is secure, all of the hostages are released, the suffering of palestinians in gaza ends, and the palestinian people can

exercise their right to freedom, dignity, and self-determination. there has been a hopeful movement in the talks to secure an agreement stop as i just told prime minister netanyahu, it is time to get this deal done. to everyone who has been calling for a cease-fire and to everyone who yearns for peace, icu and i hear you -- i see you and i hear you. host: the private -- the vice president yesterday after meeting with benjamin netanyahu. an editorial from the wall street journal about the protesters during benjamin netanyahu's joint speech, saying they are making benjamin netanyahu's point, burning the u.s. flag interfacing monuments with pro hamas logan. the point benjamin netanyahu mate is they are choosing to stand with people.

you would become iran's useful idiots he said during that speech. a photo of one of those monuments defacement's that happened during the protest, that is the christopher columbus memorial fountain outside union station about a block from where the studio is. that monument spray-painted with dozens of pieces of graffiti. the removal process has begun within the past 40 hours. that picture from today's "washington post." we are talking to undecided voters only this morning getting your thoughts on the new 2024 race on kamala harris versus donald trump. (202) 748-8000 if you are undecided in eastern or central time zones. (202) 748-8001

louisiana's lands of origin is france. so if civil war breaks out in this country, who is the civil war going to be against? everyone talks about -- host: you think civil war might break out in this country? caller: the republican party keeps hollering civil war. the democrats are trying to play it down and said we don't want civil war. so my question to america, if we go into civil war, who is the civil war against? who are you coming after? host: angela in california. this is jim in illinois. plainfield, illinois. good morning. caller: yes, good morning. i basically have been doing a lot of research to find out what's going on as far as 2025. there's a pbs documentary -- [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2024] >> thank you also for joining as well. i think many of us are aware of
