He won an oscar, a grammy, three emmys, and three tony's, including a lifetime achievement award in 2017, had he done it all in life? our thanks to richard roth for that report. May james earl jones rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing? erin burnett outfront starts right now outfront next new details about the harris and trump debate strategies as harris lands moments ago in philadelphia for this major night the trump campaign tonight, teasing quote, surprises. What is in store for america plus was j. D. Vance duped tweeting a story about haitian migrants eating pets yes people's personal pets in the state of ohio. So cnn did the reporting we're going to tell you what the evidence shows actually happened. And it kfile investigation revealing here harris wrote in a 2019 questionnaire about taking funding away from ice and ending migrant detention it is not, of course, but harris is saying today and there's a lot more where that came from. Let's go throughout time and good evening. I'm erin burnett outfront tonight. The face off, vice president harris just arriving in philadelphia just about 24 hours before the first and so far only debate between harris and former president trump these are live pictures at the national constitution center where the event will take place. And it is just think about the context here entire race has been thrown up into disarray. And now here we are finally a new candidate on the democratic side seven days from the first early votes, 57 days from election day. And this is it, this is the only debate they've agreed to. We've all seen that an election can be lost in an hour. Maybe not one, but lost. Could it happen again? harris tonight in an interview, hammering home her talking points? he plays with this really old and tired playbook, right? where he, there's no floor for him in terms of how long he will go. I think he's going to lie and, you know, he has a playbook that he is used in the past be it, you know his attacks on president obama or hillary clinton so we should expect some of that might come out i so that. Was her interview today, trump so far today has not given any interviews. He is left the speaking to his surrogates who have pounded one very loud and clear talking point on their side she owns every failure of the harrisbiden administration. The harris biden administration to harris biden administration all right. So they all got the memo. Now, here's something worth pointing out. Despite harris being vice president for nearly four years, running for president before that. And the fact that she and trump on a daily battle against each other. They have never actually met so tomorrow night when they walk on that debate stage, that will be the very first time they've ever been in a room together. And matt, i mean, that's pretty incredible to think about it. And considering again, that erase can be lost in an hour, look at the stakes tonight, cnn poll of polls shows a statistical dead heat. Harris with 49% and trump with 48. Let's begin our coverage with phil mattingly, live in pennsylvania, which obviously the home of this debate, any must win state where the debate will take place. So phil, what are you learning from your sources? there? you know where to my conversations with republicans and democrats across the state over the course of the last day or two, there is plenty of disagreement about strategy approach message when it comes to the debate that'll take place about 400 miles from where i'm standing right now. There is one area of agreement and that is the enormous important of tomorrow night when you talk to republicans or democrats, they acknowledged the stakes are huge. One republican official telling me this is a clear cut inflection point for this race. They know it is a sprint. They know this is the first and perhaps only facetoface opportunity between these two candidates. And they're also looking at the numbers. Yes top lines, both on the national polling and in the battleground states very much within the margin of error. But when you look deeper into those polls, there is a reality and that is it likely voters want to know more about vice president harris are interested in by vice president harris in many cases. And that means tomorrow night is a huge opportunity and carries a lot of risks for vice president harris are in the commonwealth of pennsylvania. It was obviously a razor thin margin in 2016. Once again, in 2020, when you talk to campaign officials both sides, they point to this state as absolutely critical to their path to 270 electoral votes. It is within the margin of error in the polling right now. But if you look at going forward, what matters, there is 140 million booked an ad reservations just in this state from now until election day but nothing nothing is bigger than this facetoface matchup. Tens of millions of viewers and opportunity to get a message across here in erie, pennsylvania. Joe biden won this county by a 1,500 votes every vote is on the, is on the kind of the battleground at this point as one democrat put it to me, erin, it's a dog fight right now. And tomorrow night will be huge and their efforts, his incredible to think about the margins that we're talking about, phil. Thank you. So everyone here with me now. So fan you heard the harris biden administration talking point and they've got that one down easy to remember. Boom, boom, boom. A very consistent, but it is the biden/harris administration. I mean, that is the reality. So understand they're flipping the names i get the point here. But how does she counter this effectively when if we're all honest with ourselves it is the bidenharris administration. She is the vice president, this whole sort of don't don't connect her to his policies you know, it will first of all, she's got a lot to be proud of and she's going to make her case, but this is a job interview for her she's got think about this as a job interview. She's got the class clown sitting next to her doing raspberry throwing spitballs. But at the end of the day, the audience is not donald trump. In the eye and is not the two interviewers should maybe see the audience of the american people who are kamala curious of their open, but they don't know enough yet to for her to close a deal. So he will try to throw everything he can about the past. She's got to focus on the future. She wants to bring the american people. She's going to have to counter. But as a job interview and the american people matter a lot more on donald trump's. Illicit in prior debates as when she was running for president, then when she did vice presidential debates she made a conscious point to call out the men she was debating, right? and it was it was men in these cases. So here's a few the examples from her last one oneonone debate versus republican rival here when that was exposed the vice president said, when asked, well, why didn't you all tell anybody? he said because the president wanted people to remain calm. Well, let's go live up, but, isn't this isn't important. I want to add mr. Vice president. I'm speaking i have i'm speaking joe biden has been very clear. He will not raise taxes on anybody who makes less than four hundred thousand a year appealed to trump tax cuts, mr. Vice president, i'm speaking i'm speaking is only going to repeal part of the trump tax cuts if you don't mind letting me finish, we can then have a conversation. Okay? now, the mics are going to be turned off. So when trump is talking, you're not going to hear her mic so unlikely. I mean, i don't know exactly how this will play out, but that may not be able to see moments like that is that a loss for her or game? i think there's a world in which it's again less this, this debate is going to be won by whatever candidate emerges going that they know the issues voters care about and are offering solutions on them, not trying to have the mic drop dunking moments that live viral. Those don't hurt. But watching that and i watched it back recently, it plays really well if you're a camilla's and, and you want to see someone dunk on mike pence if you're undecided suburban voter who really wants to kamala curious? it's homeless here is you want to hear about the plan for the border bringing down inflation, childcare. You want to hear that you're not trying to hear anyone get in the mud with each other and she's run this campaign, i think wisely have kind of elevating and not punching down when donald trump plays low i think that would be a very wise tactic to employ tomorrow, almost pretend he's not there. Talk about what she's for, what she wants to do and then be ready to factcheck him if necessary. All right. So female voters are going to be that's been in the suburbs. So trump has 17 percentage point gain, david, with male voters in that latest new york times poll that everyone's been talking about deep diving on. Okay. Female voters. Oh, totally different story, 42% back trump 53 for harris that's a huge gap. Nikki haley has weighed in on it and here's what she said i think it's because donald trump and j. D. Vance need to change the way they speak about women. You don't need to call camila dm. She didn't get this far just by accident, she is here. That's what it is. She's a prosecutor. You don't need to go and talk about intelligence or looks, or anything else. Just focus on the policies when you call even a democrat woman, dm, republican women at their backs up to yes she's right, like yeah, he's right. She's she's 100% right there. And the tricky part here is that for donald trump is to be able to attack kamala harris, right? tie her to the failed policies of the biden/harris administration without attacking her personally every time he's needle he's been calling her daughter. It's a needle. It's going to be a tough day so for him to thread, but if the american people just reminded, don't reelect kamala harris right there in this, in this, in this poll, it's, i don't want to screw this up to the new york times sienna poll found 61% of voters want the next president to bring major change for the biden ministration, 61% of voters want major change for biden and who were they pulled down that, which candidate represents major change in this upcoming election, trump 53, harris, 25. If donald trump is out there and says, are you better off today than you were four years ago? if you're not and don't vote for this woman, don't vote for vice president kamala harris. If he could manage to do that and question after question and tired of this administration that failed policies, he comes out with a w, doesn't do you think knowing him having worked, that, he's no doubt aware of what you just said when nikki haley just said on some level, he's aware care of it is he capable of not calling her dm and basically throwing this away? he's capable of it. This is a man who came up and television. He knows how to communicate to mass audiences. But i found him being less and less disciplined. He is far less disciplined now than he was even in 2016. And i think if we look back to the biden trump campaign and debate, it was horrible by biden, but we forget donald trump didn't do super well. He tends to perform and say roughly on message for about 15 to 20 vendors. And then he gets sidetracked in anything that even sees his personal can rattle him and can push out that side of him that wants to be the attack dog. And a thing that i've seen with the speeches and everything else more recently, even the interviews is he's more and more incoherent he he look, he can't be a devastatingly good communicator be certainly has not been the past several weeks and so maybe something happens tomorrow night where he remembers what you supposed to be doing, but he sometimes he literally will have five or six half senators sentences in a row. Now if you've been watching the donald trump's soap opera well there you know what he's trying to say, but i think he may not be able cognitively and what he called weaving. Yeah know, if you know the donald trump show, you know, donald trump's soap opera, you kinda, nobody is talking about. But if you don't, it's baffling. Listen to the guy abc's just put out a picture, so we just got inside. I know, you know, the constitutional center really well they're putting this is the stage where a little blinded, where we're sitting, but the podiums here the harris is going to be on the right so it's interesting it will begin again for having never met before, right but both people be a little bit a little bit like, whoa, right? harris would be a little bit, well, donald trump will be a little bit well, it'll be empty building. It's kind of artificial, right? it's a big venue, it's a big auditorium their constitution center built by my former boss, arlen specter, get luggage it's a great building. You get everybody should go visit not where i expect that the conversation, but listen, i think, you know, trump had a great line when he did this. He did a press conference in bedminster. He said, no, kamala harris keeps talking about being ready on day one. Her date one was threeandahalf years ago, right. If he can land those kind of those lines and just again, reinforce that her day one was threeandahal f years ago she's had an opportunity to put these things in place. And if you'd like these failed policies, then vote for her by all means, as we look at this you know, this where we're all going to be watching tomorrow night, than you have a warning for the harris campaign is something you think that they sort of has gone beneath their radar that shouldn't well, i just think on the on fracking question, there's something that we're going to be in pennsylvania. They keep saying, oh, she's going to she's going to end fracking. She is going to end fracking. Hold on a second for four years. They did an and in fact, it's been a part of the biden/harris weapon against putin to do all this fracking to ship all this liquid natural gas to europe the hold our allies in place, kamala harris needs frack, it's, it's, it's not appear who is in the center of all this for fracking, but i'm just saying if you say well, i think she's going to end frag, it was important pennsylvania, first of all, she didn't for four years and it's key to her strategy to hold putin in check. And so there's certain things i think americans don't know about the sophisticate patient of the energy policy of this presidency. And they need to hit that hard. But she does need to create this distance from biden because biden has never taken credit for energy under his administration, not wanting to take off the left wing that might think that he's not doing enough for the climate and she needs to be willing to own that this matters far more in pennsylvania and she nobody is going to question her dedication to combating climate change she needs to own that she is for fracking fracking question is not necessarily whether she's for or against fracking. The fracking questions he's guys are the bigger, bigger thing about kamala harris, who is she right to van's point? who is she? is she for reparations or not for reparations as he for gun seizures or not forgotten seizures issue for ending private health care. She not for ending private. I'll go she's been on so many sides of these issues drunk. Well for abortion on the board, you can talk about abortion rights. Abortion my favorite word. So but no, kamala harris is stake, but she hasn't walked them back. She hasn't explain to people why. Listen. Here's how i evolved on on these issues. Here's why i'm not going to take your guns. Here's why i'm not going to ban fracking. Here's why i'm running for senate. Voters want to learn more about her in that new york times enough to answer when we'll see we're going to much more on things she said before versus now coming up. But i do want everyone to know you can watch that debate tomorrow night here on cnn, it is the abc news, a presidential debate simulcast will begin at night and o'clock eastern, but we're all going to be you're going we're gonna be here so that you will be here were here on cnn starting at five along with my colleague wolf blitzer of her our special coverage. But next to trump campaign is pushing that story about haitian migrants eating pets, including cats in vance's home, state of ohio. So guess what? we went fact check this one. Lashing trump is now the older of the two candidates facing scrutiny for his verbal gaffes james earl jones, legendary actor known for is unmistakable voice both on screen and here at cnn, has died straight days i can change it change and why i'm not changed i'm sexual orientation, i'm not changing the political party.

D. Vance, boosting a viral story about haitian immigrants on documented ones eating cats, ducks and geese in springfield, ohio, ohio, of course, his home state, writing today, quote, reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country, where's our borders are? of course his reference to vice president harris political reporting that the stories seem to have originated from a facebook post this specific posts were all of this came from but has gone viral, cited somebody's neighbors daughters front being cnn, that wasn't good enough for us, so we call the city of springfield, ohio to ask them if there were reports, right. If anybody had called in saying their pets were abducted things that you would do and a spokesperson for the city responded that there is nothing to it. They tell us and i quote, there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed injured, or abused by individuals within the immigrant community? outfront. Now the democratic senator mark kelly of arizona, senator so this is a real world that we live in somebody's neighbors, daughter's friend said something on facebook and it goes crazy and it's out there in the ether. And people believe it. And then you make a call to the police in springfield, illinois and they say, we ohio, i'm sorry. And we have not gotten any any any complaints of any of this? so vance tweets this story. Senator ted cruz, senator mike lee elon musk. They've all given it more oxygen is this just the kind of election that we're in right now? well, erin, i think it's really unfortunate that you and the team at cnn and all these other networks have to spend all this time tracing this stuff down. I think it highlights that j. D vance, the trump campaign, that they don't want to be talking about the issues that the american people care about. Things like the cost of their prescription drugs, which by the way donald trump and j. D. Vance said he, and this is in project 2025 that he would overturn the legislation that helped us for the price of drugs for seniors. All those things that the american people care about. They're not focused on. They're just focused, focused on rumors and madeup madeup stories. Of course, trump has said that he is a project that is not his agenda, even though many people who worked for him, of course, did work on that project 2025. He is though laying senator the groundwork to claim election fraud if he loses in november, i just want to make sure people know that because if you weren't listening all weekend, you might have missed that. What he said. He said that the only thing that stands between him and victory in this election is widespread fraud and cheating. Here's what he said, senator we got to stop the cheating if we stopped that cheating, if we don't let them cheat, i don't even have to campaign anymore. We're going to win by so much do you think that this is just an empty threat or not no. I mean, his threats were not empty in 2020 i was there in the senate chamber when he sent a mob up to capitol hill to change the outcome of a free and fair election, something unprecedented bennett in our country's history. So no, i take his threats very seriously. And again, i'm going to reference what we talked about in the earlier question is project 2025, he wants to eliminate a large segment, segment of the federal workforce and replace them with his people and these are jobs that have been over decades or even our country's history are nonpartisan. And he wants to turn them into partisan jobs where they are working directly for him. So he wants to get rid of the federal workforce, replace them with his folks. And if you don't agree with him on what's what's happened here in the 2024 election. Then he says he's willing to send you to jail or prosecute you for just disagreeing with the former president so senator, you know, when you talk about the situation, how close this election might be. And i know everyone's looking at the polls. I don't know whether the polls are accurate. I know they say who none of us know but it's, the best, we got and, you know, looking at where you're from your state you are going to be at the center of this right now. Trump is ahead in the latest polling in arizona by five points. That's our cnn poll. If you go in even deeper, she does have some vulnerabilities that are very notable and with key groups so voters there, trump is leading her by 14 points among men in your state, independent voters by the same margin she is still winning hispanic voters, but her lead shows a cratering of support versus what biden did four years ago, he was up 24. She's up six do you think that she can make up these deficits? yeah. I think she's going to win in arizona and she's going to win the election and she's going to win on the issues, the issues that arizonans even care about. You talk about the border and border security. She supports our bipartisan border security bill that donald trump killed with republicans in the senate told them they had to walk away from it. They ran away from it. He is the reason why we didn't get that legislation passed, which would have provided for more border patrol pay and border patrol agents, fentanyl detection machines at the southern border at our ports of entry because of that, because donald trump more fentanyl gets it's through when we get that message out and we're doing this to the folks in arizona they get it. And you're going to see on other issues. Let's just talk about women's reproductive rights for a second here i mean, i'm on women's health care he claims and he's right. I mean, he broke roe v. Wade. He took away this fundamental right for women. And what that meant in the state of arizona is women have gone back and forth between one bad abortion ban and another and they're stuck with this because of donald trump so they have an opportunity here to fix this by electing kamala harris as president. And i'm confident that in the next 55 days we're going to make sure that she wins. I'm going to do everything i possibly can to make sure she wins in arizona and wins the election. There were a lot of people, senator who wanted you to be the vice president for a lot of reasons you're pilot your views on the border. You're being a moderate democrat and of course your history as an astronaut, you are a retired nasa astronaut and you have a series of books out. The latest is out now i'm astronaut saves the world. It's about this mouse named meteor. In this case working to divert an asteroid that's racing towards earth. It's an it's a great series. I am so thrilled to have this third one now, but i want to ask you about the the astronauts now in this context, kids reading this are seeing these astronauts stuck in space. They were supposed to go up there a week. They're gonna spend eight months up there. You're one of the few people on this planet who know how horrific that news is for them. They went up on. Boeing but it's elon musk who is going to bring them down what does that say to you well, first of all sunny and butch are professionals i both worked with them as astronauts, but also before when we were both we were all navy test pilots together. Sunny and i taught at the u. S. Naval test pilot school. So they're professionals their trip is going from eight days to eight months kind of hard to swallow, but they're prepared for this are going to be fine spacex has a very reliable spacecraft, the dragon capsule that launches on a falcon nine rocket it'll be ready to go. It can bring them back next year boeing starliner, we need this capability as well. I'm confident that in time with maybe a couple more test flights and additional work, we're going to get the boeing starliner flying it's important to our own ability to get to low earth orbit and eventually to other places in the solar system. So we, we just have more work to do on that. And on the book i'm really, really glad you're excited about it. And it's great for kids to read kids get excited about space and astronauts, they certainly do. My kids have enjoyed the prior ones in series. I'm holding it up now. I hope our people will get this the asteroid story line here as new york times said, sure to please senator graham great to see you and congratulations on this latest part of your career next tonight, trump's combative and offensive defense debate style about to get its biggest test when the former president goes headtohead with harris morrow she doesn't have the luck. She doesn't have the stamina plus legendary actor james earl jones dei, his voice synonymous with so many incredible things. And in movies, but also with this network and of course star have i got news for you? it's coming to cnn this fall pros and cons lists, pro hosted by roy wood, junior row with amber ruffin.

Com right now and see how much you can save i'm dr. Sanjay gupta in atlanta. This is cnn tonight, trump under the microscope for the first time in this election trump will face younger opponent on the debate stage, a much younger one. And now some of his verbal slips are getting more scrutiny leon's going to send up a rocket. He looks forward to it. That's all he thinks about is things like that. I can imagine new hampshire voting for him. Anybody in new hampshire because they're watching right now? but anybody in new hampshire that votes were biden and kamala, i have to stay with childcare. I want to stay with joe kent, but those numbers are small relative to the the kind of economic numbers that i'm talking about, including growth. But growth also headed up by what the plan is that i that i just told you about and i should say at the beginning said leon's going to send up a rocket. He meant ilan, right? elon musk as we were just talking about with senator mark kelly. But the stakes here tomorrow night are incredibly high for trump and harris. And there's a lot that we can predict from their tactics in previous debates because we've seen a lot of them jeff zeleny is outfront donald trump and kamala harris have spent months talking about one another. If comrade kamala harris gets four more years, you will be living a full blown banana republic. If you got something to say on tuesday night, they will talk to one another in a duel seen around the world. But what's one of the most important audiences here in pennsylvania? and i don't know if all really know until it's it's time to actually vote. This will be trump's seventh debate more than any nominee in history. Harris and her team have studied all of the previous 63 with hillary clinton. The no profit, no it's pretty clear that there's in three with joe biden would you which offer lessons for both sides for harris, it's a marquee moment to show americans she is ready to assume the presidency question very much on the minds of voters in pivotal bucks county, just outside philadelphia, where signs of support for all sides are inescapable by nature. I am a republican, always voted republican not sure this year. I'm gonna go with trump regardless. I don't know enough about camila and big deals with the border and inflation is my main thing. My hope is that they're going to tell us what they're gonna do, not what the other person has done wrong. Pennsylvania is at the center of the presidential race with harris trump in their allies spending more than any other battleground. $82 million from democrats, 74 million from republicans. As a fight to define them vice president dominates the airwaves. It's a very different vision than donald trump's dangerously liberal. Kamala harris is no harris has spent the last five days in pittsburgh preparing for the debate. Look it's time to turn the page on the divisiveness it's time to bring our country together. Chart a new way forward. In a weekend rally in wisconsin, trump argued, he is the true candidate of change. Kamala harris and the communist left have unleashed a brutal plague of bloodshed crime, chaos, misery, and death upon our land and it's only going to get worse that rhetoric raises the question of what tone trump intends to strike and whether it will be sexist, as he often was against clinton in 2016. She doesn't have the look, she doesn't have the stamina or seize upon policies of the biden/harris administration as he did in june we had the safest border in history. Now we have the worst border in history. Trump has been familiarizing himself with old harris debates to mr. Vice president. I'm speaking well, i'm speaking. If you don't mind letting me finish, we can then have a conversation. Okay. Please. Okay. Those stinging moments from a former prosecutor now trying to make the case that she can turn the page to the presidency vice president harris arrived in philadelphia just a short time ago after some intense debate preparations in pittsburgh, of course, that was chosen for a reason western part of this commonwealth is so important to her strategy for the white ask, but erin, for all the conversations of the vice president has had with hillary clinton and joe biden. It's clear she also wants to the chart, her own course and be seen as the candidate of change. But talking to those voters, they definitely want to hear more about her policies specifically as they make up their mind ions in the closing two months, zeleny, thank you very much. In philadelphia and i want to go now to anita dunn. She was one of president biden's closest advisers before leaving the white house in july, she is now senior advisor to the proharris super pac future forward. And anita, it's great to have you with me, so you've got this debate, obviously, we're out boar's away now, and abc is sticking with the rules they are going to mute the candidates microphones when it's not their turn to speak. Now, it has been very clear from our reporting that that is not what harris wanted. She wanted that rule to change and her debate strategy has centered around those direct exchanges for trump with trump tapping into her foreign prosecutor skills. So you know, jumping in and erupting clarifying, fact checking. So do you think these muted mics are a disadvantage for her? thank you for having me on air and i'm going to start by saying, i think that vice president harris is going to do fine whether or not the mics are unmuted. She is extremely good at communicating clearly, succinctly and passionately what her vision for this country is. And this really is what the candidates need to do tomorrow night. And i think whether or not the mics unmuted what she needs to do is she needs to talk to the american people, and she needs to tell them what does it mean to turn the page? what is that new way forward as you've no, your piece by jeff zeleny said, this is what voters want to hear. These debates are really for voters. I think she's going to do fine whether or not the mics mics unmuted. Now, i understand from sources that have been talking to jeff and others that a big part of her debate prep and she's done a lot of that because she's been able to look at all of trump's debates as jeff just pointed out, he's done more than anyone else running for the office in that role. The she's prepared for personal insults, derogatory comments that we've heard trump use another debate contexts, but also about her. Here is how she responded when she was asked about what she's going to do if this happens by dana bash he suggested that you happened to turn black recently for political purposes questioning a core part of your identity and his same old tired playbook next question, please that's it so do you want to see her give an answer like that in the debate or do you want her to bring a topic up like this if it isn't brought up by somebody else? you know, it's funny. I've i've listened to republicans for the last several days now, basically take to the airwaves on your network and others to plead with donald trump not to go down this road because should he go down this road, i think it will be a clear win for the vice president that she is prepared that she has a lot but of tools at her disposal to deal with it. But more importantly, let's get back to the fundamentals the american people want to know who's going to be on their side who's going to fight for the middle class, who's going to protect seniors. She's got the answer to that. If former president trump comes out and goes down, that that tired old road is, she said of insults and massage and all of that. It will be probably the best thing that's happened to her last time that we were here on the eve of a presidential debate, anita, you were working obviously play in a very different race. I mean, it was a completely different world. And you were part of that core small team preparing president biden for the debate with trump. All right. Now i know those those initial days after even that moment, watching it you know, you've had a chance to think and to put some context around this yourself. Do you look back and eat it and have any regrets about how president biden was prepared for that debate with trump? roughly. The same team that prepared him in 2020 for the two debates that he won, prepared him in 2024. And the reality of it is that you, know, at the end of the day trump certainly didn't have a great debate. You've had other people in this on this network today saying that as well, the president had a rough beginning and then he actually had an okay. Finish. So i think that debate is done what you need to do when you are preparing to debate donald trump. As you need to prepare for someone who might show up and be somewhat disciplined for the first 30, 40 minutes as he was in a couple of the clinton debates, you might, you have to prepare for some who shows up and it's totally undisciplined, which he was in the first biden debating 2020, you have to show up for someone who is going to be by repetition alone, get through lies and you have to be prepared to deal with that. So preparing to debate donald trump. And again, i'm very confident the vice president is fully prepared. Preparing to debate him as to prepare to debate several different looks, but with one clear standard that goes through all of his debate performances, which is he will say, anything that is actually the hurdle is not to go down those rabbit holes okay. Says he will say anything and it may not make sense. It may be totally incoherent, but he will say with a lot of authority. And so making sure you know what your game plan is, what you want to say to the american people is key at, i believe the vice president will be fully prepared to do that. Anita. Thank you very much. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you for having me on erin. All right. And next, a kfile investigation into a questionnaire that vice president harris filled out during the last election it was a questionnaire where she supported defunding ice. And there's more.

It's easy i guess we're moving tv on the edge, premiers sunday, september 22, did nine on cnn tonight, kamala harris releasing details of her policy positions for the first time on her campaign website a kfile investigation has uncovered me time a 2019 questionnaire. And in this questionnaire, harris laid out some much more liberal stances among them on immigration. So 2019 and what kfile found, she said she would cut funding to i. C. E. Writing quote, our immigrant attention system is out of control and i believe we must end the unfair incarceration of thousands of individuals, families, and children. I was one of the first senators after president trump was elected to advocate for a decrease in funding to i. C. E. Well, now of course he's touting the biden administration's executiv order to crack down on the border, kfile's andrew kaczynski joins me now, and that's pretty incredible on its own. When you're talking about what you found here on ice, what else did you find yeah. This was a questionnaire that she filled out for the ecl aclu and this questionnaire is really an interesting snack app shot and time of the 2019 democratic primary. Kamala harris was trying to get to the left of bernie sanders. She was trying to get to the left of elizabeth warren and you really see that in a lot of these answers. And i want to walk our viewers through a little bit of what she said. Let's just take immigration and look at what she said here. She said on immigration, she made this open ended pledge the end immigrant attention. She said she supported taxpayer funded gender transition surgeries for detain migrants. She also said she's were funded gender transition surgeries for detainment. Chain might actually said she support. She wrote both wrote and answered in the affirmative when she was asked this. And she said she also supported it offer federal prisoners now, she also pledged to slash immigration detention by 50%, close all family and private facilities and decreased funding for i. C. E. And then the end and i. C. E. Detainer with local law enforcement. I mean, these are these are things that it would be hard to think that you would come up with taxpayer funding hunter transitions for for detain migrants. And yet, as you say, written and verbally you know, what else did you find? well, let's also let's take a look at her answer here. Are on drug. She got asked about this question from the aclu was since drug use is better addressed as a public health issue through treatment and other programming will you support the decriminalization at the federal level of all drug possession for personal use. And harris answers, yes. Now, what would that mean? will it mean the federal all all drug possession that's not just marijuana, which she alluded to in her answer to this question, but it also would mean yes, federal level all drug cocaine, things like that. Have they responded to you on her changes on these issues? so we did put this question to the harris campaign about the entire aclu questionnaire and the harris campaign didn't answer any questions from cnn. Instead, they just provided a statement from an unnamed harris campaign adviser that just the vice president's positions have been shaped by three years of effective government governance as part of the biden/harris administration. Now, they declined to cnn to elaborate on what those positions were. Then they also provided this statement which they attributed to his spokesperson saying, as president, she will take that same pragmatic approach, focusing on common sense solutions. For the sake of progress. So where does she stand on this all, all this questioner today, we don't know and they won't say it's pretty incredible stuff and thank you very much. Andrew k.

And so you want to do day's work i say yeah, a day's work twoandahalf hours. That's all they languages in twoandahalf hours, few thousand dollars, i went home. Jones took his inspiration for the voice from the villain himself but i was able to look at, look at the screen, and see the image of him that affected me. That dark vigor that had an impact on me. The key to divert is a narrowband of expression. No inflections. He's not human galaxy u.
