look, that is why donald trump is in johnstown, pennsylvania, today, cambria county.bria county pennsylvania haply but in harrisburg and pittsburgh voted for barack obama over john mccain, . donald trump won it by 68-31 over joe biden. this is one of those rural areas that is shifting hugely republican. fracking is now an important part of the cambria county economy and kamala harris threatens it. this is the case donald trump has to make. donald trump needs to ignore all of her denunciation staff denials of previous stance and just told her to everything she said in 2019 ad '20. if i am trump come i get a giant tv screen behind me and play her clips saying what she said in 2019 and '20 and have fun and have a little mock debate with her. play another clip. another clip. that's the way he can bring it to life and show everybody what she said. she said it, it exists, and you can't let her walk away from it, and it is who she is and it is her values and that is what she said last night. >> sandra: see if she does more interviews. still a lot of questions where she stand

he built an entire airport in johnstown just so he could have a direct flight to d.c.y. rachel: sounds about right. pete: government largess. he was a very powerful politician, and that's back when towns like johnstown were controlled by democrats. not anymore. johnstown is squarely between harrisburg and pittsburgh or, it's on the west side of pennsylvania, and now it is trump country. and you could see it yesterday. and this comes off the heels of the interview that kamala harris did on cnn n where she was edgeg any answers. he spoke to the people about -- of pennsylvania about kamala's flip-flops. >> you'd almost think they hate our country. [background sounds] kamala harris surrendered our energy independence, spent hundreds of billions of dollars on the green new scam. she's trying to take away gas stoves and heaters. she's vowed repeatedly that we will ban fracking. we will always ban fracking. she just said it today, i saw it. they have a clip from, like, two year years ago. she said, no, no, i'm in favor of fracking, like, last week. oh, no. then they start pla

jason carroll's and johnstown, pennsylvania, and the trump campaign priscilla alvarez is here with the latest on the harris campaign. we begin jason with you, the former president, moments away from this pennsylvania rally. >> do we expect to hear him talk more about abortion and ivf as he did yesterday. good question and it's unclear if the former president will talk more about his idea plan is, you know, as you heard there from john berman in trying to question his running mates on some of these issues that there still seems to be some ambiguity they're when it comes to ivf in terms of how this is going to be paid prison, where he's this money right to come from. and i will so it's unclear at this point if you'll mentioned that here right at this rally, but we do know that he is on an a.i. likelihood going to talk about some of the things we've heard him mentioned before crowds like this one and pennsylvania, namely that he says he's the best candidate to handle the economy. he's the best candidate that can preserve jobs, especially in the fracking industry, which since so important

brian is in johnstown. >> reporter: that a rally in johnstown begins at 4:30 p.m. were thousands outside ready to come inside. this is cambria county, he won this county by 37 points in 2020 so it is trump country. we expect the former president to expand on what has been his initial reaction to vice president kamala harris's first interview on cnn last night. the campaign is zeroing in on one particular phrase from the vice president in which she said, quote, my values have not changed, in how she described her policy shifts from more liberal positions to more moderate ones and already the campaign releasing a new ad in which they are using the words against her saying exactly, harris's through values are being far left, they call her, quote, dangerously left and in this ad they point out that in 2019 she said she would ban offshore drilling, band fracking out abolish ice, those are all positions that have since been moderated. before last night's full interview, a clip was released and the former president had a chance to respond to this clip at a town hall in wi

event in johnstown. cambria county, a county that trump won by 37 points in 2020.ou can see these folks, this line wraps all the way down the block. now you mentioned the poll and harris has an 11 point lead with women. a big part of that, julie, is with the issue of abortion. fox news poll of the important sun belt states that came out this week shows that ultimately harris has a plus 19 advantage when it comes to the issue of abortion. and that is really her strongest issue according to our polling. so it was still a surprise when the former president trump came out yesterday and came out with a plan on ivf saying that if he was elected, ivf would be free for women. that's an operation that costs some $40,000. listen. >> we are -- the government is going to pay for it or we'll mandate your insurance company to pay for it, which is going to be great. we are going to do that. you know what? we want to produce babies in in country, right? we want to produce babies. >> as we keep walking down this line we spoke to some female trump sporters, julie. this is what they

i was just in johnstown, pennsylvania and talking about bringing steel mills and they love josh shapiro in rural pennsylvania and factory towns. and of course, mark kelly as a hero and astronaut and gabby giffords, his wife, a victim of gun violence. so i trust the vice president's judgment. i think she has three excellent choices. >> well, can i ask you about governor shapiro of pennsylvania, which is where this rally is going to be held tomorrow, is jim messina noted, obviously it's also a battleground state. no one should take any ideas that that means he's going to be the pick. but pennsylvania senator john fetterman has not endorsed his own state's governor for this role, politico reported that fetterman's aides had expressed concerns about him being the pick to the harris campaign, to her team. obviously, fetterman used to be the lieutenant governor in the state bureau was the attorney general. clearly they are not the closest of allies. but how do you personally look at that with senator fetterman, not endorsing his own home state's governor oh god, campaign for john fetterman. t

pictures coming to us live from the place where he's holding his rally in pennsylvania tonight, johnstownof the key lines from that rally of course. pennsylvania is state that the former republican president won in 2016, beating hilary clinton by a margin of around 50,000 votes — 20 votes in the all—important electoral college. then in 2020, the state turned blue —joe biden winning pennsylvania by around 80,000 votes. this time, the polling suggests another tight race. the latest survey, from morning consult today, has kamala harris ahead with 51% to donald trump on 47%. injuly, when biden was still in the race, those numbers were flipped. so, donald trump will be looking to pull back the momentum in the battleground state, perhaps with more new policy announcements. the republican nominee's campaign speeches often follow a largely predictable script, attacking the biden—harris administration's handling of the border and the economy. but last night at his rally in michigan, he made an announcement no one really expected. i'm announcing today, i and a major statement, that under the trump

but also places like cambria county where johnstown is and these other counties, these are the countiesing to make the difference in this race. pittsburgh and philadelphia, they have the larger amounts, but there is a ceiling there. it is getting the people out to vote in those elder counties that is really, really importan. i think it is important to note when you look at bill clinton won pennsylvania in 1996, he won 27 of 67 counties. by the time 2012 and this is how much pennsylvania has changed, barack obama won 13 of those counties. so, that is where the race will be decided. speed to do just went across the country driving and everybody should follow your work. we love to have you on the show. very happy birthday to your granddaughter, who wants a pumpkin pie instead of a cake. we love that. >> i have got to make them. >> dana: i know you will, thank you so much. >> bill: thanks, selena. >> intifada lives on but we are returning stronger than ever before as we head into the fall semester.

i'm, you know, president trump is going to be in johnstown on friday and working some of those kind of more rural areas. and so what republicans tried to drive up the numbers in those places and democrats tried to drive down their losses. so it's smart campaigning for the vice president to be there. now, will that stick once voters actually figure out what she's four? because we really don't know what she's four. we know what she was four and 2019. but we haven't heard or articulate a plan of what she's for. she hasn't said she hasn't really talked about fracking or guns. and i'd like to see some of those good old boys and south georgia asked about whether she's going to confiscate their 30-30 and give an answer for me to see what she says, but now that she's got to convince some of these voters of issues that matter to them. pocketbook issues and the border, right? so it's nice to go there and kind of spread the joy message. but when they peel back the onion and actually get some facts we'll see how they end up voting. >> paul, i want to talk about the interview tomorrow. there's goin

. >> force of it as your point, jason carroll live for us in johnstown, pennsylvania. thank you so much so florida isn't the only state where abortion and reproductive access is on the ballot? according to a new fox news poll in the swing state of arizona, seven and ten, 70% more than 70% say they would vote to enshrine abortion access into law when they go to the ballot box in november in nearby nevada, 75%, three in four voters so they plan to do the same. let's discuss the electoral implications of this with larry sabato. larry nationally, let's zoom out. how is this issue of abortion affecting the race for the white house? >> it's helping democrats everywhere in particularly obviously the national ticket, kamala harris and tim walz, they are both longtime pro-choice politicians whereas donald trump and you saw it again yesterday and then this morning, even with his running mate he's all all over the map and he has been all over the map for decades. i'm old enough to remember when he said on a key sunday morning show at the turn of the century, he is 100% pro pro-ch

let's bring in cnn's jason carroll, who is in johnstown, pennsylvania, where trump is expected to deliver remarks at a rally this afternoon, jason well, this is the moment that the trump campaign has been waiting for. they've been waiting to try to challenge kamala harris on the issue who's in her own words. and now that she's given this interview, they're able to do just that. i mean, you have to keep in perspective, this is a campaign that for some time has been trying to to portray kamala harris has this sort of like chameleon type of candidate who changes her views on particular issues. one of those issues that means so much to the people here in the state of pennsylvania fracking, for example. she was asked about that last night. she said, at one point in 2019, she supported a ban on fracking, but then explain how her position had evolved. well, former president trump weighed in on that on truth, social posting, and saying the following her answers rambled incoherently. he then went on to say, under harris, the border would remain open and that there would be no fracking. the campaig

johnstown, pennsylvania, where for joe biden back in 2020, squeaker, just about 80 votes in 2016, voted for trump by around the same margins in a tight race, margins matter fighting for every single vote. and that's where we find cnn national correspondent jason carroll. jason, the last time trump is and johnson, he proclaimed that deal was back. and it's not really under trump or any recent president would have people want to hear there today well, what the former president is going to be saying when he takes the stage later this afternoon here, phil is why he says he is definitive candidate when it comes to the economy, why he is the better candidate? >> to save jobs throughout the state of pennsylvania where as you know, it's a tossup. every single vote counts what he's also going to point out. now that the vice president, vice president harris has given her interview where she stands on particular issues and where she has evolved or changed her position on certain issues. key issue one of those key issues here in the state in pennsylvania, being fracking. she was asked about that la

he is there at the trump rally in johnstown, pennsylvania, also with us as cnn fact checker, daniel dale so jason walk us through what trump said yesterday and now what he and the campaign are saying today grossly incompetent, as well as you recall, it was yesterday when this subject matter was brought up in an interview trump seemed to suggest that he was not satisfied, not happy with the six-week timeframe on that six week abortion ban. >> that's in place saying that it's simply too restrictive. but he left the door open. he wasn't specific in terms of what he support overturning it? he gives any more specifics in terms of timing, just a short while ago, he gave an interview to fox news where he once and for all, what's very clear in terms of where he stands. take a listen to what he had to say. >> are you voting yes or no on amendment four and florida. >> so i think six weeks you need more time than six weeks. i've disagreed with that right from the early primary here's what i heard about it. i disagreed with it at the same time, the democrats are radical because the nine months is ju

. >> host: paul in johnstown pennsylvania, go ahead. >> caller: hello. my name is paul regina and my question is let me tell you, it's been written about ad nausea and about nixon and the kennedys and johnson and the kennedys . my question is what was the relationship between nixon and johnson . they had similar backgrounds and were different as to how they governed. >> guest: the relationship was surprisingly good. they were both tough politicians and i think in 1968 you could say that lbj was more for nixon and he was for humphrey because humphrey was being seduced by the democratic party to try to end the vietnam war by retreating . and johnson wanted to stay the course a little bit more and thought nixon would be a smarter , tougher prosecutor of his policies invietnam but not for each other. right there the democratic president in some ways was more sympathetic to the republican challenger to his own vice president sort of thinking how these pieces fit together but i think that's true . i know my friend luke richter believes that, but we don't know

. >> government response to both johnstown and to waco did not save lives? >> no, it didn't.though there are different circumstances in both cases. jim jonesse had gone to gayana o jones town after his reputation in america had been literally destroyed by some investigative reporting that indicated a lot of negative things about his ministry people had not known before, bute he was still considered by the government to be legitimate. there was going to be a congressional investigation because relatives of some of his followers and peoples temple complained family members were being held against their will. whether they were or not is questionable. but when that government pressure came, when a congressman simply chose to show up pretty much and say i'm coming in, i'm going to inspect, maybe two dozen of the people in jonestown really wanted to leave and if jones had said, fine, everybody is free to go, there still-- would have been over nie hundred people there but jones was a drug addict paranoid and he believed if we let one come in and take a couple of dozen people, anothe

that was former president trump earlier today at a campaign rally in johnstown, pennsylvania.no one knows of the claims of our sitting vice president. and second, that his own poll numbers are skyrocketing. in fact, as we have discussed this past hour, trump has seen his poll numbers drop, with harris cutting his lead in key battleground states. i am back with representative malcolm, a member of the national advisory board for the harris-walz campaign. and michigan state senator malory, thank you for all of you for sticking around. i want to go to you right now, i read this great kind of profile about you and this comment came up in it and it said his talent is getting people to show up, he does this by framing every race as the election of a lifetime. but you know, been, this one is point and i think what's happened along the way, we talked about in the last segments, was the fact that it really is still democracy versus autocracy, it is still chaos versus competency, but we now have this more positive energy that we can now focus on the important things like policy, where be
