Issues could say more than that. I was president harris was not on the Campaign Trail Today or yesterday. Her opponent was talking today in georgia about him his plans for the economy, but also throwing out lots of red meat, including this about haitians living in springfield, ohio you have to move the people back to the country from which they can. You have a haitians are by Enlarge In Springfield lawfully and i was a Gary Tuchman reported Last Night, many now saying they are afraid do you feel safe for your family and this community absolutely not nobody knows whats going to happen. Leader when garys report aired Last Night, the foreign president was actually speaking at a rally in Western Pennsylvania where he said this do you think springfields will ever be the same . I dont think the fact is and ill say it now. You have to get them the hell out gaffe to get them out. Im sorry. Again can have it good havent send, them back there chanting the former president has also been talking to are about women. And not surprisingly, perhaps some of it has been just kind of odd Last Night. For instance, he told women, this is what would happen if hes elected you will no longer be abandoned, lonely, or scared you will no longer be in danger. Youre not going to be in danger any longer. You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today. You will be protected and i will be your protector. Women women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free longer be thinking about abortion liable by a federal jury for sexually abusing a woman will be the protector of all women and they will no longer be thinking about abortion even perhaps the childless ones with cats. Despite criticism from trump about Kamala Harris calling trump they threat to democracy Last Night and again today he once again said she is probably going to end our democracy you know, somebody said the other day, if she won, you literally may never have another election. This could be your last election by The Way, the somebody hes talking about is i think himself, i think hes quoting himself because hes repeatedly said we wont have a country anymore if he isnt elected. So hes saying somebody said that it was him. I know youve heard all this before because he said it all before and perhaps it loses its strangeness but it does have an impact. The repetition that sticks and lies about the 2020 election are impacting this one. House speaker Mike Johnson Today with just six weeks left to election day, said, this when asked whether hed certify a Kamala Harris victories should she win . Well, of course, if we have a free, fair and safe election and were going to follow the constitution. Absolutely. Yes, absolutely yes, absolutely. But also a big if because the last election was free, fair, and safe, and theres an awful lot of republicans who dont believe that so why would they believe this one will be as well . Joining us now, two former Trump Administration officials, went hours and cnn political Commentator Alyssa farah griffin, also, cnn political commentators Jamal Simmons and David Axelrod i think just does the stuff about women is, i mean, does it strike you as odd . I started laughing and thinking it was creepy, but then thinking more about it. Its very infantilizing. Im talking about women as though were week, were meek, we need to protector, we need to defend her and we just sit around thinking about abortions all day. It just underscores a fundamental lack of understanding for why a demographic that represents half of the country is one that he is struggling. So profoundly with i think Donald Trump, if he loses this election is going to look back and think that one of the worst decisions he made was not having a female on the ticket who actually knows how to speak to living, breathing normal women about issues that mattered to them. And i would just finally say, yes, Reproductive Rights do matter. Access to ivf, to the whole suite of care that women care about, whether it be abortion or so on. But economics, National Security are also womens issues and just The Way he is talking about them is not The Way to sway voters in the middle. Do it extra. Mean in past races, kennedy is generally as sort of the election gets closer, maybe they tack more to the center trying to appeal to as many people as possible. Thats clearly not the Strategy Trump is doing. Although i mean, he does seem to be sort of like trying to kind of tick certain groups, like saying, hes going to reverse himself on the Tiktok Thing is going to save that are vaping or certainly are even on ivf. He seems to suddenly reversed himself maybe thats his version of attacking, but does it strike you just make sense what hes doing to you plus giving away the Tariff Money about 17 Million different ways. But but look, i think if youre his strategists youre really deeply worried because they had a strategy and the strategy was to try and depict Kamala Harris as an exemplar of the incumbent policies and to make her the incumbent responsible for the economy, responsible for the border, and every time he goes out there, no matter what he has in front of him, he does these kinds of things and were talking about that now. Maybe thats what he thinks will win the election. But i dont think its the strategy that has campaign in their ads and such have employed and by the Way Alyssa said, she he wouldve been better off to have a woman on his ticket how about a woman on his staff who can write a speech that hes going in which hes going to address women. Because that clearly wasnt written by a woman. I mean he is not this is not a campaign in sync right now and its a close Campaign Anyone can win, but he seems sort of panicked and unleashed in a way that could actually lose him the election matt, i mean, does it seem like a panicked or unleash i mean, what do you make of the camp things . I think were looking at a couple of different things you talk about undecided persuadable voters when i believe the poll that you were just referencing, theres 2 who are undecided right now and i guaranteed about half of them just arent going to vote. So he really, youre probably looking at 1 of the electorate, doesnt know who theyre voting for right now, this election is going to come down to who is able to get their voters out, whos going to energize their voters to show up again more than two parties that actually, i think Thats Number one. Number two, the Gender Gaps working both ways right now, we are seeing a historic Gender Gap in this campaign. And yes, its among Women Voters with Kamala Harris harris in the lead. But you also have historic Gender Gap among men right now, and youre seeing both campaigns in different ways, begin to try to address that deficiency. Whether its Donald Trump adding some language in about reaching out to Women Voters, whether youve got Kamala Harris now saying shes going to take out her gun and shoot anyone whos coming into her house. Both are adjusting their rhetoric because what youre seeing right now is that theyve been trying to max out their strengths with types of voters. Theyre actually hitting the ceiling right now. Theyre trying to see if maybe they can actually get a few people switch teams. And i think thats why youre seeing both campaigns act way they are. Do you think thats true . Maybe heres heres the right thing is happening in 2016, Donald Trump ran for president and he was the new shiny thing. And perhaps he could be a little erratic and he could say things people didnt like. But there was a very known quantity on the other side, hillary clinton, and people decided to take a gamble on Donald Trump since then, people have learned the gamble, didnt really pay off. There are a lot of things that they didnt like about him, who he kept showing up in the same way, which was sometimes embarrassing, sometimes offensive all those things now, hes facing a candidate who is the new shiny thing and people are may be willing to gamble on her and he cant quite find a way to go after her. And as a portion of this electorate, since dobbs women, the electorate have shown that theyre really interested in abortion. And this is a very important issue for them. And hes the one responsible for taking away the right to Abortion American women. And i think he knows its just very hard for him to get around that issue, which is why if hes trying to make this case the case is you got to stop thinking about abortion because he knows if theyre thinking about abortion, theyre not voting for him. His continued focus on springfield. I mean, alyssa they clearly must feel this is working for them whether its too energize the base. They already have to get people fired up . Or is it not so am i i think i think they may think its working for them and i think he lives for the applause to quote Lady Gaga when he speaks to these crowds and they like it, the crowd that hes speaking to enjoys that you saw the folks behind clapping and chanting. But there is a disconnect and access wilken about this before the ads that trump is running, look very different than what Donald Trump is saying. Theyre much more discipline, theyre much more focused on growing the economy, rebuilding the middleclass, and securing the border. Hes not talking about taking legal haitians out of the country and sending them back to their country. So there is that there is this question. Are voters going to see the campaign that is being run . Theyre behind his back and on the airwaves or are they paying attention to what the principle is actually saying . Because i dont know even most republicans who are really happy that hes making still making this case about springfield. David, do you think people listen to those ads are listen to what he says at rallies listen, i think the thing that differentiates president ial campaigns from other campaigns is that candidates are covered intensively. Everything they say and do is covered intensively, particularly at this stage in the campaign. So, yeah, the ads have some impact. But, but if the candidate is not amplifying with its in the ads and is pursuing a different strategy. People default to what they see and so i think it makes the ads less effective and it raises the saliency of the things that hes saying on the platform. I mean were probably not the only Ones Tonight talking about the things that hes saying because the things hes saying or so provocative and meant to be that you forget about the sort of basic issues that he was there. Extensively to talk about. I agree with matt that he may think this energizes his base and at The End of the day, turnout is going to be very important. This is postelection, but in fact, in the Cnn Poll and other polls, there are voters who are still saying that they are willing to reconsider their decision. Theres still voters who are on the bubble. There are voters who are voting for Donald Trump who dont like Donald Trump. They dont like The Way he behaves. They dont like this, and theyre voting for him because they think that on issues that are important to him, to them, that he may help them. But if he continues to behave this way, he could tip them over in a different direction here, i really i think theres great risk to it does jim johnsons free if its free and fair, Comment Concern you have spent a lot of time in this election building up to the point of a skirmish in overtime, right . Its like theyre not really trying to win this game in the first four quarters. They really want to go into overtime where the election is going to be decided by some referees. They help pick some judges that are going to maybe in a cloud of Dust Paul makes them right, calls for him that get him to the House Of Representatives on january 6, at which point the republicans can do their work and he can get returned to office. Thats what this is about. Thats what the 150 lawyers and 15 Battleground States are challenging ballots on the day of challenging ballots and the Election Commissions and then collecting evidence for lawsuits. Thats what thats all about. Its not about winning this election fair and square. That the election in 2020, which was free and fair it was incredibly close. Wisconsin 20,000 votes and a Court Case and wisconsin on a conservative court could have gone another way. And those votes could have been tossed out. Yeah. And look, i believe the 2020 Election Shouldve been certified right as it was. And so i dont put too much stock in what the speaker is saying though i think the likelihood is that hes going to certify an election and hes just giving the caveat they knows he needs to give politically and, you know, if we take a step back and you take out the context of 2020, most americans would agree with what he said, right . That would seem like a very reasonable thing to go out there and say, i think a lot were calling though that Mike Johnson before he was speaker in january of 2021, led The Amicus Brief to challenge the 2020 results. So this is someone with a bit of a Track Record of even when its a free and fair election saying, lets go ahead and challenge it anyway were going to take a break.

Weve just gotten a new update on tropical Storm Helene, which is gaining strength, expect to become a dangerous category three hurricane before making landfall later this week on Floridas Gulf Coast, hurricane watches warnings already in effect along with mandatory evacuations in some areas already at Tampa General Hospital Special Fencing which can withstand up to 15 feet of Storm Surge going up to protect what could be a vital facility during an after storm. Are seen as Meteorologist Chad myers joins us now with the latest its forecast. So how soon could this make landfall it looks like about 10 00 on thursday night. But now, if it turns to the right or stays on the right side of the cone, thatll be much sooner, maybe even like 6 00 on thursday well talk about that in a second because you and i were both there Hurricane Charlie in 04 were on the ground and that storm stayed on the right side of the cone the entire time and made Landfall South of us where we werent really expecting it heres the storm right now, 35 miles per hour at 5 00 this morning, it is now 60. So that thing has gone up now 25 miles per hour, just in the past 15 hours and i want you to look at the cone remember, we always tried to look at the middle, but the cone is still in play here. And look who would be in play with that cone as a cat three hurricane on the West Coast of florida, not in the arm here of florida. So we have to watch this Hurricane Warnings are already posted this will likely be a major hurricane with Storm Surge of 15 feet in some places. The models have been
