And those crucial background, democratic president ial nominee running for a bus around georgia this hour, youre watching a big republican vise president ial nominee j. D. Vance Wrapping Up in pennsylvania moments ago. And Donald Trump himself will be continuing his wits in michigan and wisconsin tomorrow. Do you see a pattern here . Its all about of the path of the 270 electoral votes, 93 a which are of for grabs in those crucial seven Battleground States. Welcome everybody, im neil cavuto. Thats go to Savannah Georgia in the battle over the 60 electoral votes there. I noticed he was complaining earlier today about the heat, never want to complain about the ac in my studio. So back over to you mark. Make sure i look ready for you. [ laughter ] was not long ago that georgia democrats were really feeling unlikely they were going to deliver this state in a november, ever since a change of the ticket they have seen much more energy and they are hoping to some of the Stops Today in the rural communities may be able to show they could keep Georgia Blue making it a Tossup State this cycle. Moments ago the Vice President touchdown, the running made Tim Walz was on the tarmac to wait her, Liana On A to go meet with some voters in the campaign says theyre doing all they can to recharge to people going beyond just the atlanta suburbs and savannah itself. We will continue to run in or rule counties, if Campaign Officers and employees in court deal, nathan, agusta, you have to be statewide in that space. You have two competing counties that the democrats dont traditionally go. John down south, Harris And Walz sitting down for the first major interview with cnns Dana Bash, harris has phased a done a ton of criticism for ducking the prize for weeks, the Wall Street Editorial said this into b. Is not enough saying to the Dana Bash interview is an attempt to rebut the criticism she has not done any interviews as a candidate but its not enough especially with Tim Walz along as a shopper and pick former President Trump appears willing at this point to and his feud with the stated revival can govern it, last Week Trump said he wanted to work with him despite remarks at a recent rally in which he essentially trashed him and called him to slow. Same republicans if they had any shot to take what has he would have to win georgia but early voting comes under way in october, he was see both campaigns, maybe temperatures cooling down a bit before the stop. Neil did i tell you the airconditioning it is broken, i can get into budget from 68. But. Am okay. [ laughter ] it will cool down for you to three savannah, we are told 90 degrees, im so glad im not where he is right now, its a hot season, Grand Rapids was 84 degrees, not quite as humid there. But it political heat back and forth their, i believe i said that Jd Vance just spoke there a short time ago. He dedicated afternoon to you, and like you said things are heating up. Jd vance just said about Kamala Harris She Can Go To Hell and that was in response to a question about our troops, the afghanistan withdrawal in hebrew is basically questioning why did the administration has not taken accountability over that withdrawal. He was at a trucking facility, a company in pennsylvania when he made those remarks, talking about inflation, of the Economy And Blasting Kamala Harris on all of it including her campaigns latest brush that she is not mandating tvs, watch. If you force all of these great truckers to buy electric trucks instead of the drugs are currently using, will make this Inflation Crisis Way worse than it currently is, you think of groceries or bad . Wait until Kamala Harris makes every American Trucker drive an electric truck. So it is all about the west states are now for the trump j. D. Vance to get, at michigan, pennsylvania, in an effort to court those independents, moderates in a suburban woman that they need, mi to to be frustrated with inflation. The Harris Campaign is taking note of all of this, is spokesperson writing this, trumps disastrous agenda will explode the deficit, increased cost almost caused by nearly 4000 a year and send our economy crumbling into a recession by made next year. So these count the states, we are watching what happens in wisconsin, michigan primarily because Rfk Junior apparently could not remove his name from the ballot in these states. Meanwhile the Trump Campaign at within the ad featuring more than a dozen black woman, several from Battleground States as a denounce Vice President Kamala Harris. Some positive news from the state of georgia is that Georgia Governor brian Camp Will Headline a big fundraiser for Trump Tomorrow in atlanta, huge win for the Trump Campaign after that big dustup a few weeks ago. George i. E. Must win state as Mark Meredith knows for the Trump Campaign. Neil yes indeed, i mean right now it looks like there is a Fourpoint Lead in that state what anything can happen with the georgia. A great job. Following all of the data. She did appoint out of Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp was not even talking to trump, now headlining a fundraiser for the former president mornay. A lot at stake there. As the battle for those 270 electoral votes you need to become the next president of the united states, 93 of those electoral votes are in these seven battlegrounds. Political reporter on all of this, at tanner, we cannot stress this enough, what is at stake in these battlegrounds and how much the race is tightened up in those battlegrounds but when i was doing it by who leads where, its almost split down the middle of those 93, about 47, 46 for column a great now. But again if you just stretch out and call the dead even within the sampling average, it is essentially a tie. It really is, remember back in 2020 Joe Biden barely won georgia, fewer than 12,000 votes. Even if trump is up by about a point, harris still get some votes because away biden was able to become the first democrats to win that state in 28 years was by going to outside of those Immediate Atlanta suburbs and trying to court those rural workingclass voters. This is what she is gambling on, georgia is one of the most diverse states, largest one of the largest black populations, and shes releasing trump double down in pennsylvania, pennsylvania is probably the linchpin, must win state. And he is ahead. So she really is trying to open up the past because the feeling is pennsylvania because she cannot win georgia because when you dont win the election. Neil you know tom its interesting this event, this Fundraiser Event in it georgia, very popular Georgia Governor, and Donald Trump, they have all received buried the hatchet, favorable development for Donald Trump, a few weeks ago at the Georgia Rally he was on a blistering attack. Is so bygones are bygones, now its time to raise a lot of money and a lot of Votes Aga against . Yeah, this is good news for republicans and the Trump Campaign, trump has been talking to this guy for years and he just attacked his wife, some people think she caused him that two senate seats in georgia. Is a good news for republicans to get everybody on the same page, Office He Georgia is a must win state for the campaign, they were ahead of thereby amount as he mentioned its down to his leaders down to one percentage point, if you look across a seven and Battleground States, the biggest leader for anybodys calm in michigan at total points, everything else is a point and have, or even under one percentage point. It really is a Jump Ball right now. Neil i was reading it, i know its more of an online v vote, this Florida University Research poll that shows a reversal in the political fortunes were Kamala Harris is now leading Donald Trump by five points nationally. These things are all over the map, just a month ago i believe it was the reverse Kai Odonnell Drum Bleeding then it Joe Biden by that amount. I am just wondering the what we make of this shift, whether in this case it might just be hold over and spillover from the convention, and thats her Convention Balance . We have denoted where shes making gains in that pole, its all within predominantly independents and white College Etiquette educated voters. She still only aiken for that pole and per a lot of others a little more than three quarters of black voters in that specific pole, only half of hispanics. If she wins half of the hispanics and three quarters of black voters, that changes the generational strategy and the demographic strategy for republicans for generations. So the hope would be that white college educated voters, independent voters are not just over responding to these poles and it is possible that they can save her, in the same way they help Joe Biden win in 2020. She performs ten points behind the margin was black and hispanic voters, there is no path to victory the. Neil im wondering looking at significant upcoming events, probably the most immediate is this interview that cole will have a with her vise president ial choice, tomorrow night. How do you see that sharing the limelight with her vise president on the Pros And Cons of that . Its an Odd Choice for her to include Tim Walz in this, shes running to be the commanderinchief, she wants to show shes up for the job, its a bit of an Audit Choice to bring Tim Walz along. The idea that this one interview is going to solve the problem of her basically not talking to the prescott not answering questions, we will see how good a Job Dino bashed as, is a lot of pressure on her tasks of questions and really get as much out of Kamala Harris as possible because she little he has not spoken to Anybody Else. It does, i think it will carry a lot of weight, think people will be tuning good but for me the real event is his president ial debate, harris will have to stay onstage by herself with Donald Trump asking her very tough questions and really push her not only on what her current positions are but which is been doing for the past four years and how much she is responsible for the country is. Neil somebody describing a dead if Donald Trump Will Push Harder She will push his buttons, what you think of that . Its a smart strategy and thats why she wants those mics off because she just wants to be able to respond. Back in 2020, 2019 when she was up against Joe Biden, she had little that ready to go made debates ready to be sold, friendly her whole strategies very high risk high reward, similar to Joe Bidens debate, we have not heard from him. Kamala harris is taking a dozen questions since becoming the nominee, zero interviews, and recall the North Carolina sends out there early voting ballots eight days from now. So this It Debate over her is really make or break in the same way this interviews maken having to defend her record is go Donald Trump. Neil eight thank both got great expertise, always appreciated.

[ ] neil its amazing what we learned about a guy who was trying to take out Donald Trump up and put himself in the History Books, it never happened of Course But Somebody did die, some others were injured, the ones injured doing fine but the fbi releasing some photos of evidence and the Assassination Attempt and exactly what the assailant was looking for online ahead of all of this,. Hello, what might be in the History Books are these lingering questions from the american public, the fbi says its not ready to give a final word on the shooters motive, investigators tell us they can say would be Assassin Thomas Crooks was it detailed in his plan to attack for President Trump, giving us new insight into the city that when shooters mindset, saying late last year crooks began researching former president Donald Trumps campaign schedule, and the upcoming events. Come april of this year, crooks added the campaign to his searches. Crooks registered to attend the rally july 6, the fbi says that same date he looked up where Will Trump speak from the Butler Format Show and butler from show podium. And the other thing we learned is crooks had more than 60 searches related to trump and it Joe Biden. The fbi said as early as September 19th that shooter was researching the also how to make explosives packed the materials crooks used to make his homemade bombs were told they were illegal, purchased online and pretty easy to do so going to the fbi. The fbi says its continuing its review of crooks encrypted accounts and online presence, investigators say so far they see a mixture of leftleaning and right leaning ideologies right now they have no evidence that anybody knew of crooks plans. At this time the fbi has not identified a motive nor any coconspirators or associates of crooks with advanced knowledge of the attack. Want to be clear, we have not seen any indication does adjust crooks was directed by a foreign entity to conduct the attacks. The fbi also take neither time to address some conspiracies saying there is no evidence of a second shooter, The Agency conducted more than A Thousand interview so far and want to point out today in this update we were also told that Crooks Family members are cooperating with the ongoing investigation. Neil Thank You for all of that. Joining us now, retired fbi special agent, marine, for a stall and honor, secondly, its amazing that we can piece together after the fact, there is a pattern among those who want to assassinate president. They check out the area, this goes back to in the lincoln assassination, on and on we go. Ways Lee Harvey Oswald Energy of gay this cases same thing to hear, showing up before just sort of checking it out but hours before and during the events. It is intriguing, what you make of this . Researching the president ial assassinations say they fall into two categories other greedy libyans or performance. In this case, crooks fell into the category it, the second category because you really had no political religious or ideological or philosophical issues. When you look at the fact that he was looking up where he could attack somebody, he was looking left and right. I think one of the reasons he was doing that is because he was lazy. I mean he put in enough work where he learned how to use the Weapon System is going to but theres a big difference between understanding, researching putting up a drone an actual running through physical drills and tell you at the point where youre not going to be seen or anything along those lines. He wanted to be known for something in his life and thats why he falls into that Performance Category with this particular activity. And now he is going to be known for something in perpetuity when in reality, he felt like he wasnt worth being remembered. Neil is also wild, i dont know if you piece together this evidence, he admitted to doing far more harm, didnt he . He did, he had the receiver in the off position, so that Plan B would have to involve him climbing down the building targeting a boxes vehicle, taking the ied, placing it on the stands. He may have tried to do that before he decided, for all we know, climbing up on the roof was Plan B but he just felt like he could not get those ieds into the stadium, so to speak, because you got stopped and they found his viewfinder. That Viewfinder Couldve been a Penetration Test for him when he walked in and say that see what they do with this, consume going going hunting or a Photographer Or Something and see if they maybe a couple guys had their eyes on him and they could see that so he backed off and went around the building may be through the woods or something to get up onto that structure. Neil still a lot more were trying to find out about what went down, lack of communication that clearly was between the Secret Service and the local police and we heard this before and so many dating back to 911 where they could not be on the same Walkietalkie Channel or what have you. This does happen a great deal, does not . Its always one of the number action report, big scenarios get little scenarios, not that difficult to solve. If you have the Command Structure in place, we have a representative from each agency thats there, sitting in the Command Post together with your radios on and the rule is, maintain silence in that room if the radio is on. Im sitting there with lapd and the chair Sheriffs Department or the Butler Police Department and radio goes off, everybody goes silent, we all listen and whatever information comes over the radio we dispatch out to everybody present. That way that cog in the wheel was completely missing. Thats just. Unbelievable in my opinion. Neil it is just surreal, china pieces together, its remarkable, learning to put all of those Puzzle Pieces back big retired fbi special agent, Thank You. We are fol
