during the koven vention, i talked about game of jenga for each campaign. it is easy and you pull out pieces and it gets harder as you get closer. kamala harris is making her camp nervous, there are smoke signals saying message about trump being bad on democracy is not working for you. >> brian: harold, closing arguments president trump will have a press conference in palm beach and later today kamala harris closing argument at the elipsz. harold ford i think dana is right, america has produced more innovation and therapeutics and we have a counter that more and more people want to come to, we have to protect our border. how do you make it more affordable for every american

and work for every american not concentrated among a handful, i think that is the challenge for her. if i were advising president trump, lay off negativity, criticism of hispanics and others, it is not necessary. we are a great country and need a president to defend us and make it greater for our kids. >> brian: i think illegals, not hispanics. >> there was a -- >> brian: that was a comedian. you should be running for office, harris people should be listening to you. >> you wrote it for me. >> brian: it is fantastic. how great are these guys. bill hemmer go to the big board. round of applause for bill.

[applause] >> bill: welcome back to studio m, great to see you. here is easiest way to understand if harris team and then easiest way to understand if you are trump team. harris is angling for blue wall up here, we have her 225 electoral vote, 270 is the number to get to. her easiest way to win, take wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, 269, and get one electoral vote in nebraska, which is omaha. that would do it for kamala harris. remove these markers here and then you ask yourself what is easiest way for donald trump to get back to the oval office? win in georgia, that is flip from 2020. hold north carolina and you have to flip pennsylvania and that would put him dead even at 270. yesterday on "america's n

newsroom" michael whatley believes republicans will have a lead election day in following three states, nevada, arizona and north carolina. so if that is the case, four states and one electoral vote in nebraska tawill be in play. when you antccount for possibily there are no surprises out there. some campaigns are talking about new hampshire, minnesota or new mexico. is that true? we don't know. it will be game on a week from today. clear this off and reset it. right now, we don't know, back to you. >> brian: don't move. dana, your reaction to the pathways? >> dana: i would rather be trump campaign than harris campaign right now. "new york times"s her campaign is feeling buggish, i believe

that is because another piece in "wall street journal" about women taking marijuana gummies to get through nerves, seems they don't feel confident. >> bill: we do that every morning, that is secret sauce around here. >> brian: you seem relaxed on camera, bill. harold, i noticed nevada gets democrats enforce and arizona, not seen trump trail in arizona in quite a few cycles. >> i think bill is point ing ou on that map. these four or five states, if michael is right, since 1998 no candidate has not won all three big 10 states, pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan. it now seems like pennsylvania is most important of those states. whoever wins pennsylvania and we won't know, some counties won't

report for a few days, will be winner of thiseck la. the gender gap between men and women and how they are voting is remarkable. you see 17 -- with women and 12 points with men for president trump. turnout among men and women will be big an indicator -- >> dana: one last thing, republicans tend to turn out to vote if they are going to vote and democrats if they feel they are going to lose. even there, we're tied. >> brian: understood. bill, final thought, couple things turning up. senator john fetterman said i cannot believe support trump is geting and we heard on off-myc moment, vice president harris talking to gretchen whitmer, i got to do better with men. >> so much for a hot mic, seven
