in a state that he is not likely to win? the campaign believes new york city is the media center that media mecca of the universe. one single rally a made-for-tv rally here will have a much wider audience than any single rally in a battleground state. that's part of their thinking. another part of this is they want to show off just how many people they can bring together what they call a historic political movement the former president has a built in these final days dana white of that the ufcrfk junior, trump and his running mate vans are trying to send a message date will be the ticket for all americans. parks whether you are in a blue state or red states whether going to vote for trump or harris i want you to be able to have a good life in this country the first person who i believe is really putting the interests of the american people versus donald j trump. yes we are going to be the

on the table is really challenging. >> the economy is one of the main issues. the campaign is expecting people to turn out and vote on that topic. madison square garden is also expected to be packed up and we are talking nearly 20000 people that are expected to go inside of this arena in deep blue new york city. also this is can be trump's third event in new york state be the former president said he's going to make a play to win new york. we do know he lost the state in the last two elections by more than 20 points. this election immigration is a top issue but something that is impacted new yorkers very much so. also it is happened across the country. >> what you like about him? >> i like that he loves our country. i like that he wants to put americans and america first. which does not mean ignoring other countries and people who aren't american. >> we've got nine days if you can believe it until the election. you can really feel the

excitement in new york city. we'll see exactly what happens in the polls but people said they are really looking forward to seeing what happens in the presidential election. going to step out of the way i want to show a little bit of what's happening. this guy's been driving around for hours here. people came from all over not just in new york they came in from florida, they came in from north carolina, texas, and michigan. and also pennsylvania the swing states where the former president is going to hit in just a matter of days. we will see what all happens inside of msg. >> we just saw the stretch cadillac, it looks like the presidential limousine with the presidential seal on the door. that's a trump imitator who walks around in that. quite a scene out there. alexis thank you. arthel: alright, eric. for more on this regular public a new york congressman anthony d'esposito for joining us now. let's jump right in, congressman what can former president trump tell the new york route at msg that would close the deal for

you to win and keep your seat in the house of representatives? >> i think it to expand exactly what he talked about. he talked about what people on long island and new york are talking about around the dinner tables. it's the border, its crime, its economy supporting israel those are the things in my district on the southwest corner of long island, that's what they are talking about. that's were we have seen with early voting starting yesterday and even this morning. the lines, especially in the republican stronghold sprayed the lines are over an hour long because people are excited to get out there and support republicans in president trump. >> look, yours is one of six pivotal house raises five or held by republicans but you represent the fourth district, new york to fourth district the south shore of long island. and in 2022 you are the first republican to win that seat in 25 years. your race is a tossup. why it should new yorkers vote

for you this time? >> because i have delivered on my promises. when i said is going to go to washington to secure the border, we did that a passing hr two. it's unfortunate chuck schumer and the democrats wanted nothing to do with that they are the reason as to why that border is still open. it's the reason as to why 15 people. arthel: right now congressman i'm giving you an opportunity to tell new yorkers why they should vote for you again in this very tight race. >> because we were able to put border security legislation. we've been fighting to restore salt i've been a staunch supporter and sit defender of israel. i've been on the ground talking to neighbors each and every day delivering close to $30 million back at committee projects to the fourth congressional district. there's a reason why after 25 years people won want the repubn conservative common sense leadership with the congressional district where they saw that i was a leader.

someone prior nypd detective but someone who serve their community. someone had the deliver tax cut budget while my opponent continues to hike taxes. i was someone who cut taxes. that is a people want to see. the focus on the border, on security, on crime in the economy i have delivered on those. my opponent is just talk and delivered absolutely no action. arthel: thank you for that answer. okay, you beat laura gill and your opponent two years ago. you are facing her again as she wants to flip the seat back to the democrats. among other issues she is campaigning on a promise to work with anyone from any party to secure the southern border. now, based on your work you highlighted a safe bet to think you would do the same, right? it's safe to think you do the same, right? >> not only what i do the same i've done the same event name the 11th both a bipartisan

member of the 118 congress serving on different caucuses that are bipartisan to deliver results. when was a supervisor she could not build a coalition with the lone democrat on the how can we expect her to build coalition and house of representatives? if kamala harris you and i know you're not voting for her just a scenario. and the republicans maintain control of the house. can they count on the house of representatives not rubberstamped all of her policies when her public and lighthouse block all policy efforts by president harris? >> it is been very clear especially in this 118 congress with a slim majority that we have their artwork courses. there are people who want to find solutions to the problems that are plaguing the american people. and that is exactly what we have done we will continue to do but

we want to work with president biden and senator schumer. they are the one to close a door on us but we want to secure our border they are the ones that kept the legislation on the shelf and collect desperate republicans have an willing and able to work with everyone and anyone to deliver for the american people. it is the democrats who contine to shut the door and try to alienate republicans. survived they are not here by that i do not have you heard the exchange between me and aishah hasnie earlier, i heard some singing in the background i thought it was josh grogan, i didn't think it would be but i heard the voice. she wrote me back and said it's christopher maki it went opera singer so they are, you will know who is there in the lineup tonight singing at the rally but i know you will be there. congressman anthony d'esposito thank you very much and good luck to you. thank you. >> thank you very much and a proud new york full resident. so you have see, there you go. all right eric? sue for advice and president harris today she is spending the

arthel: vice president kamala harris is in battleground pennsylvania today. she spoke to worshipers at the church of christian compassion and west philadelphia this morning. has a rally schedule in the city of brotherly love this afternoon. vice president harris is focusing on predominating black and latino neighborhoods as democratic leaders reportedly feel the vp is not doing quite enough to engage those crucial voting blocs. a senior white house correspondent peter doocy is alive with the very latest. cox arthel, we know the harris campaign is running out of time to improve her support was black and latino men in pennsylvania. we are seeing the vice president pop up in as many different neighborhoods in the battleground state today as we have seen since she became the presumptive nominee back at the end of july.

a few minutes ago she wrapped up in a church in west philadelphia. >> in times of uncertainty, scripture reminds us we can endure. the joy cometh in the morning the path may seem hard, the work may seem heavy, but joy,'s in the morning. in church, morning is on its way. god bless you. god bless america. >> the campaign top clip of the weekend is from michelle obama whose campaign trail debut amounted to an appeal to men in an argument that reproductive rights could impact them as much as the women in their lives. >> i've got to ask myself why on earth is this race even close? your girlfriend could be the one in legal jeopardy if she needs a pill from out of state or overseas, your wife or mother

could be the ones at higher risk of dying from un- diagnosed cervical cancer because they have no access to regular gynecological care. it will affect you and your sons. >> and appealed to men came to a bar in kalamazoo, michigan the vp let slip a four letter word over a beer with gretchen whitmer. >> we have everything i did not realize that. [inaudible] okay i don't how many efforts, we just told family secrets. [laughter] [laughter] a few minutes ago here in philadelphia at the vice presidt was asked to explain the closing days of strategy and she said her internal polling is just her instinct. arthel: peter, i'm a good catholic girl i would never say

any such words. [laughter] >> that is why we try to drink the beer after we do the live shots, right? [laughter] there you go i will wait this time all right peter. [laughter] thank you. eric: so far in pennsylvania more than a 1,032,000 pennsylvanians have voted so far with early ballots. the vote count after election day could take some time before the final results are known. you may remember back in 2020 the state was unofficially called for days after the election that happened on a saturday. on this election how are officials making sure the vote is protected, credible and correct? one official who ran the election philadelphia four years ago knows this very well. he is now the top election official in the keystone state. out schmidt the secretary of the commonwealth of pennsylvania. joins us now. he is a republican mr. secretary good to see you.

>> likewise, thank you for having me back. eric: has the vote going so far? >> it is going well, high voter enthusiasm, high voter engagement. as part of the schapiro adshapiroadministration commitmo make sure this election runs smoothly i just completed my last visit. i visited all 67 counties to sit down with the election of directors to make sure they know we are there to support them in whatever they need to put any py equipment but anything else like that we can provide we are there for them but in pennsylvania elections are one at the county level we have great confidence in the civil servants who run our elections that will have a free, fair, safe and secure election 2024. eric: in 2020 ideals unfounded election fraud at that time. we are seeing some cases now. absentee ballot applications apparently 2500 stopped potentially fraudulent.

how does the system detect this and is it something wrong or something that shows the system can work? >> we have examples like that it's very much an indication the system does work. there are checks and balances. there is a validation bill into the system but when you register to vote in pennsylvania you are providing a drivers license number but you are the last four of your social security number. when you show up to vote in person for the first time you are showing identification. so, whenever there are -- make in this case it's unclear to how few the applications were submitted that were not legitimate they are caught. they are easily caught. they are conspicuous and they are not processed. eric: their been caught they are not votes and those are not votes that will be counted. >> that is correct. >> in addition there is an allegation of 53 or so people registered in one house in

lancaster. at that nunnery benedictine nuns. how digital the disinformation and the misinformation about the voting process that turns out to be apparently not true? >> there sure is a lot of it. i reach out to sister stephanie schmidt who is not related to me to really commend them for speaking up and making very clear their convent is not an epicenter of some sort of voter fraud or anything else like that. there is no shortage of it. whenever we hear these different conspiracies being spun they do not required to be any basis in fact whatsoever. it is our responsibility to answer voter's questions but elections in pennsylvania have changed so much in the last five years. there is eight voter verifiable paper ballot of every vote that is cast using two audits after

every election to make sure those results are accurate. it's no wonder people have questions with all those changes and are here to answer them. cox also allegations raising the >> of non- citizens voting. it has happened in the past, sporadically it is rare but can it happen? can a non- citizen vote in this election? >> i was a republican election commission in philadelphia for 10 years. spent a decade researching allegations, voter fraud election irregularities. even cases but un and fox news over the years. to bring attention to it. what we found as a result is very infrequent when it occurs. it is easily identifiable when it hurt occurs. build up it dealt with this issue and dealt with it responsibly back in 2017. bring a lot of attention to it now i've concerned some of them

are handling it recklessly. with lawful citizens, kevin voter registration cancel which is very much a concern. but in pennsylvania voters and across the country should have confidence there elections will be free and fair and safe and secure. eric: i think it was 2012 he issued a report in philadelphia about all of this. can a noncitizen -- make it -- o apply to get a voter registration you need to prove his citizenship. or do you just walk in? >> i care as much about election integrity as anyone possibly could. but we found in our research it's noncitizens not a significant number were registering the voters system. encountering the screen that asked would you like to register to vote?

what brought to the attention t the time that you know the answer they should not have been asking that. note noncitizen went into a government office presenting foreign passports, ford state papers and workpapers and all the rest appeared here in the united states legally and thought now i'm going to go commit voter fraud. there is language accessibility issues and all the rest. we found it happen very infrequently and was identified at the time of 2017. eric: finally looking back to 2020 and now it took four days or so for the unofficial counts. one of the reasons -- explained the law officials are not allowed to start counting absentee ballots until the day of the election or the polls closed. why it wasn't that law change so you can get a jump on this and how long you think it will take for this time? >> some things have not changed is 2020 and some things have it. one thing that has not changed as counties in pennsylvania cannot begin processing mail

ballots until 7:00 a.m. on election morning. plenty of under other states red states and blue states can begin that process days if not weeks in advance. so, we are a little bit of a disadvantage is that our counties cannot begin until 7:0. but since 2020 counties have acquired new equipment that assists with the sorting and time stamping and processing ballot envelopes. they have a lot more experience than they had in 2020 when it was new to all of us, the volume of mail ballot voting. and there are fewer voters voting by mail compared to 2020 during the peak covid environment. i think you'll have new equipment. you will have more experience and fewer votes to count by mail. but it always comes down to a close and election is before you know who won and lost. eric: are you going to get any sleep to say to the next few days next week or the week after kuester. >> know, that is for the weary no rest for the weary.

support secretary of the commonwealth has a lot of experience running elections. we thank you and we thank the election officials and the poll workers especially who are our democracy. thank you. >> of course. arthel: expects suspected terror attack it is or what our top intel chases in the middle east trying to restart talks for a cease-fire and get the remaining october 7 hostages are back home. we'll have details for you coming up next. than help you reach your goals. -you can make this work. -we can make this work. it can help you reach them with confidence. no wonder more than 9 out of 10 of our clients are likely to recommend us. ameriprise financial. advice worth talking about. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health.

secretary of state antony blinken cia director william burns there representing the united states. just a moment will have from foreign affairs analyst rebecca grant on what this means first let's go to trey yingst to his life in tel aviv with the very latest on the ground. >> good afternoon. police gaining a suspected terror attack north of tel aviv earlier today left a one person dead more than 30 injured. here's what look like when we arrived at the scene. >> right now first responders are at the scene of a truck ramming interest north of tel aviv. parents say -- that was 35 were killed and his attack and taken to local hospitals. the motive right now is unclear. police are investigating but this appears to be a terror attack just outside of israel's second-largest city and reports indicate the driver of the truck was a shot by people at the bus stop following this ramming.

again police are investigating the exact motive and identity of this driver. he spoke with one paramedic who responded to the ramming earlier today. she said this. >> and we arrived we saw a truck in the bus under the truck there were like six injured people. >> were also tracking one other story out of the region found the israeli strikes against iran early saturday morning, more than 100 israeli jets participating in the strikes that were a direct response of the eye iranian ballistic missile attack that targeted israel earlier this month. reports to indicate more than 20 targets were hit. all of the military targets in and around the iranian capitol. this comes amid the backdrop of renewed his cease-fire talks that are taking place today in qatar i spoke with a source with the knowledge of the conversation who said these talks will focus on what would ultimately be a short-term

cease-fire deal to see the release of israeli hostages from hamas captivity inside of gaza by that source going on to say the conversations are ongoing. note parameters have been decided on quite yet. civil right trait live in israel thank you. arthel? arthel: from won this spring and rebecca granted national security military analyst and international relations expert. dr. grant we will get to the cease-fire talks in just a second period i want to pick up at another part of trey's report israel said it sent a clear message to iran early saturday morning. what is your interpretation of that message will it deter iran from enduring to strike israel again? >> well, i hope so. here's what iran to the ayatollah and the military leaders have to face. israeli airplanes can target anything they need to inside iran. the targets they hit went directly to missile production and even more important to iran's air defenses.

while luckily the damage was constrained to military targets it was very limited. the message to iran's leadership was clear and powerful. we can hit you anytime we need to do. that should help reestablish deterrence watch u.s. military forces if we start to bring some back and ratchet things down we will know iran is keeping the lid on it right now the u.s. and israel will watch iran's forces very closely to read the real reaction in iran. arthel: the eye ron regime might not react but it will continue to direct his proxies, hamas, houthi, hezbollah. does iran maintain solid control over the terror groups? what do you expect in the on again off again it seems to be on again cease-fire talks there in hostage release? >> first and the terror groups iran does have a lot of control. they send them the missiles.

they said that the training, the money t this or long-established relationships. iran still controls the biggest terror apparatus we need them to quit doing that. back on the cease-fire talks, the administration jumped out after the death and it said there is an opportunity. that is why blinken cia director burns are in qatar to bring this in. the key here is egypt president has said let's try a two day cease-fire. a couple of hostages back, some prisoners released if they can start small, that is what worked late last year. otherwise they're still pretty big deadlock. hamas is the one that has to agree to the cease-fire. >> according to benjamin netanyahu hamas has been the isd up this entire time and i'm alss the one who started this let's not forget that. his country has proposed eight to date cease-fire as you said a short-term cease-fire in gaza.

we need more. the u.s. is working towards a cease-fire and a diplomatic end to the fighting in gaza. in the fighting in lebanon. you mentioned we would know how confident the u.s. is based on their military posturing. >> yes, that applies also to iran's forces. we are going to watch fairly creallyclose to deceive the iras are up too. as far as in gaza and that talks but gaza is the main focus for the biting ministration right now that's why they are back in qatar. it comes back to hamas being willing to agree often has come back and said we want to do what they want is a permanent cease-fire so israel will pull back. very important after israel's strike, israel did come out and

reiterate they have decimated hamas. accomplish most of their military goals and to my mind really open the door to agree. israel has agreed to it they need to to the cease-fire agreement on the table. it really is up to hamas. the minute hamas agrees that fighting will stop and humanitarian relief will go in. hamas is not doing the right thing for their own people in gaza. it is up to hamas to agree. that is what we have been awaiting for all of these months israel has skipped the military pressure on hamas until it happens. arthel: i have one last when i have to go over this and fairly quickly though because the un security council is expected to meet tomorrow over israel's strike on iran. what do you make of that? >> there would be moved to try to denounce israel encounter moves to prevent that from happening. bottom line that un has sadly been irrelevant in this con

conflict. it's been strong u.s. military support and israeli result in a prospective terror threat and get us back to a better place in the middle east. arthel: le let's help. dr. rebecca grant as always thank you very much. we will be right back. ...

a child and indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older. but he was released after posting bail. now an isa custody he has a notice to appear before a department of justice immigration judge. the acting field office director saying in a statement he stands accused of horrifically victimizing a massachusetts child represents a significant threat to our neighborhoods. we owe it to the children of our new england communities to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing an egregious noncitizen threats. at this point ice officials do not know when or where he entered the country illegally. they do say he was not inspected admitted or paroled by immigration officials. former president trump is taken vice president kamala harris over task he delivers the closing messages of his campaign and "new york times" poll shows a 15% of their respondents the

immigration as a top concern from 12% trump tops harris on the issue by 11 points. arthel: madeleine rivera thank you. we will be right back.

eric: those are commercials and republican candidates in tight senate races for their urgent trump voters not to split their ballots but they argue it weakens the republican agenda by democratic leaders hope this will help their party. polls show some of their senate candidates are running ahead of both former president trump and vice president harris. lauren wright political scientist at princeton university joins us now. good to see you. what role and how widespread could ticket splitters be in this election? >> a while, it could be a little wider than normal and frankly, eric. these are both pretty unpopular candidates at the top of the ticket. they're very divisive for the biden/harris administration are very unpopular. but trump of course over the

last decade or so both inside the white house and out. so, there might be a lot of people that consider, i will vote for my congressional candidates, my house and senate candidates but i will just leave the president blank or write something in. that might be quite prevalent this year. eric: how widespread you think it will be and what goes into that thinking when people do that? >> well it did happen a lot when president trump was an office in the midterms for instance we saw a lot of split ticket voting in 2018 for example but i. it could be something like that were candidates or successful and then he was punished at the top of the ticket. but i completely understand why both parties are urging -- the

harris campaign in particular over the last month where they are really going for the moderate republicans. they are really helping those people voting down ballot republicans pick harris instead of leaving the top blank or coming home to trump. that is a very, very tough ask for someone to switch parties for presidential election. but i certainly do notice the trends of many of they're down ballot candidates doing better than the topics before by the way we apologize a bit for some of the audio issues we have. at the same time it's the opposite situation, the democrats hoping some republicans vote for harris if they do vote for the bottom part of the ticket. especially on reproductive rights. they are talking about women. women going out and maybe they vote republican but the top of the ticket because of reproductive rights and those issues they would vote for vice president harris. that was an argument we heard yesterday from former first lady michelle obama who spoke out

addressing this to both men and women. let's listen. >> if you are wife is shivering and bleeding on the operating room table during a routine delivery gone bad, hurt pressure dropping as she loses more and more blood or some unforeseen infection spreads and her doctors are not sure if they could act too. you'll be the one a pleading for somebody, anybody to do something. we don't get this election right you're a wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women will become collateral damage. siegler is there an indication as an undercurrent perhaps on that issue in terms of ticket splitting? >> well, it's a good issue for democrats and a bad one for republicans. consistently abortion across the board is a tough spot for republicans. they are finally seen as responsible for the repeal of

roe v wade. until the problem is, those issues are going to extend to republican senate candidates too. that is all these campaign ads we have been seeing. if the abortion question ends up in congress, if there is even a vote on a nationwide abortion protection or a national abortion ban of course those arguments extend to the senate candidates two. i understand completely why the harris campaign feels very confident on this issue. it's one of the only issues, frankly. it is a lot to ask for people to votes across party lines. that just does not happen very often. but, there are a lot of popular statewide democrats running who might be benefiting simply from their popularity.

brown is looking a little better in ohio. i would not rule out tester in montana. he's pretty popular. so these incumbents do well the last few years regardless of the abortion issue. eric: its a variety of issues people vote for when they decide on their candidate. of course we will see what happens after next week. princeton university political scientist lauren wright. always good to see you and we apologize to her viewers for some of the audio issues. but good to see you. arthel: so eric, as you know halloween is right around the corner. a new survey as ranking the most halloween abscess states according to "consumer reports." the top five are new hampshire, maine, utah, idaho, and west virginia. the study ranked the states based on the seasonal data and online trends as well as how many haunted attractions, pumpkin patches and halloween spirit stores they have. now, the least vested they say
