when we met earlier this year, flannery was fed up with the political division and dysfunction. >> what else can you think about it? >> it's a mess. >> how does it get fixed i wish i knew with the election days away, we paid another visit, he said. >> he's voting for kamala harris. is it a vote for vice president harris or against donald trump for harris? no. let me rephrase that. >> both both? yeah it's a vote against trump. >> and for harris yes. >> the fight is on for wisconsin. are we ready to win with harris and trump set to make dueling visits friday. >> we're winning. we're winning for the second time in three days. >> i don't want to make any predictions because i think it's that close. >> caroline quinlan does not see a perfect option on either ticket. when we spoke this summer, her frustrations were clear both parties have their extreme side and no one's in the middle from her vantage point in the critical suburbs of milwaukee, no longer dominated by republicans alone, she said issues are driving her decision. >> i'm going to vote for trump. you know, when he talks in the big

powerful allies, north korean hermit can get them who are our adversaries and can do us harm and flanneryts to bring that as leverage to the fight and there are discussions about a piece deal vladimir putin is going to do everything he can to ensure russia at a time and place of its choosing can achieve its objective which is to topple the government of kyiv and create a regime loyal to the kremlin. edward: we are going into winter over there. the biden administration has been slow walking arms for two years has not taken constraints off. it's too late for ukrainians? >> too late. the biden administration failed to get this right. i don't think history will judge them kindly, never gave ukraine what they needed when they needed it. ukraine should have had these years ago and they should have had the authorization to use them, the range is 190 miles, the deceased leader of the wagoner group got farther than that and presented a far more serious threat to vladimir putin's regime security. this is not a success for the biden administration. it will be a difficult negotiation for the incoming
