Evening. Erin burnett, the Breaking News tonight. Kamala harris with Jaw Dropping fundraising numbers, just coming out cnn is reporting that harris more than doubled what trump raised in august. And we know that trump raised 130 Million. So just to state the obvious, that means harris did better than 260 Million dollars in just one month and that is a sign of what we have seen. Of course, in polling the enthusiasm around her campaign. Clearly very much alive and well, six weeks after she rose to the top of the ticket. Tonight, her Running Mate, tim Walz And J. D. Vance, trumps Running Mate are holding dueling rallies that i mentioned in crucial swing states, Tim Walz also is in pennsylvania right now, dead heat in the latest cnn poll, j. D. Vance wrapping up his remarks in arizona, where trump is marginally ahead in our poll, both on the attack now, im going to quote, which i think is a brilliant quote by your great governor Josh Shapiro he often says, and i hear him say this whenever Donald Trumps talking about america and talking to america he does not believe in the promise of america, and he continued he used to put this country down whether its our veterans are working people continues to do it. And you know why he does it. You know why he does that because he can only think of himself all right. So those are the lines walzs using and vance for his part is going after Harris Campaign Message the Democratic National Convention was all about joy and i thought to myself, what does Kamala Harris have . To be especially joyful about . Shes been the Vice President for threeandahalf years, americans cant afford groceries. Americans cant afford to buy a home and as for harris herself, she is in pennsylvania in pittsburgh for Debate Prep. While Trump Today delivered what they had billed as a major economic speech at the economic club of New York. Obviously its a crucial place to give such an address. The president though, did Veer Off Topic a number of times at one point going to the whole topic of harris, he says tried to put him in jail. Heres what he said. She and her party are Censoring Speech weaponizing the justice system, and trying to throw their political opponents me, in jail. This hasnt happened i didnt do that to crooked. Hillary, i said that would be a terrible thing, wouldnt it . Putting the wife of the president of the united states in jail, but they view it differently, i guess nowadays, but thats okay they always have to remember that two can play the game obviously, not even veiled as a threat there. Trump though for years of course, has been The One threatening to put a political opponents by name in jail Hillary Clinton has to go to jail. Ok, chance to go to jail. Lock her up is right for what shes done. They should lock her up. You should lock them up lock up The Lock Up Hillary lock her up, of course, was the regular. Can you all remember at trumps rallies as for harris, this is what he response was when supporters chanted lock him up well, you know what the courts are going to handle that and we will handle november even, mckend is outfront live. Shes in pittsburgh, whereas i mentioned harris is right now and full Debate Mode prepping. So even what more are you learning about this massive Fundraising Haul that the Harris Team brought in . They saved are just the month of august well, erin, that Fundraising Report is due september 20th, so not before long. We will know exactly how much that number is, what a source telling cnn that it is quite substantial. And to give you a sense of where the campaign is spending their money. A lot of it is on ads. Ads like one that began airing today in the Battleground State of Georgia Targeting black voters, talking about the conservative Blueprint Project 2025, warning voters about the further a Row Ocean of reproductive rights and the possible elimination of the department of education. But the Vice President is here in pennsylvania to get critical time, Critical Facetime with voters ahead of the debate, ive been speaking to voters here youre in pittsburgh and they have their head on a swivel to see if they ultimately spot the Vice President. Many of them that i spoke to at the University Of Pittsburgh and near the campus told me that a number of issues are top of mind for them as we head towards november, including the economy including lgbtq rights including reproductive rights and ill end with this. Erin, i spoke to one young man and he is from New York. He just moved to pennsylvania for Grad School at carnegie mellon. And he told me that he changed his Voter Registration we shouldnt to be able to vote in this critical state. And he told me, listen pennsylvania is a state that could go either way and i want my vote to have an impact. Aaron. Well, people who live in states that are all red or blue, it is an incredible opportunity when they move to a state where were their vote can truly move the needle. Thank you much, eva. Alright, so everyone here with me. It said i want some with the fundraising, but first just, you know, when you see walz and you see Vance On Stage and theyre both being sent to these crucial swing states, Pennsylvania Excuse me, Arizona Favorability numbers though, arent the same. Youve Got Walz as doing better, 40 to 31 vance is at 30 to 44. I mean, you know, usually wouldnt actually say 42 is great, but its a hell of a lot better than 31 absolutely. I mean, what does this mean . I think for two candidates start looking to expand their map. Thats where the the could have marginal differences. We know that people usually vote at the top of the ticket, are usually voting for a spate of issues or what the kind of lead nominee is saying. But we know that they were chosen as the as points of expanding their base. Harris chose walz, but the specific idea to underscore normality, to underscore kind of sense of pitch to the middle of the country a vance was chosen. I think not for reasons to expand the map overall, a doubledown of Ideology Furtherance of a maga viewpoint, a frankly, a hardiness from the Trump Campaign who fraught, who thought that they were on course for victory. He was picked when biden was the Rival Ad that rnc, where if there was a supreme republican confidence that they were going to win this Race Youve seen Vance Slip further and further into that unfavorability zone, and i think even more so than that triggering specifically important groups of voters that was childless Cat Lady comments are not just a oneoff, right It Example of someone who spent so much time and that masculinity, maga, ecosystem. And that turns off a crucial group, because i think hes going to have to win over come okay. You mentioned in cats and dogs, theyre actually relevant to this conversation. Margaret, in the sense that vance did bring his family and he has been trying to humanize himself in that way to the rally. He brought his family, theyve been with him over the past few days. Heres some of what he said we brought the whole crew to arizona. I got my lovely wife, usha usha, where they were they play but we we brought our three kids there, seven in tune. We even brought our dog instead. I mean, if you really wanted to connect with people and kind of breakthrough, he would have said i brought both my cats i mean, but, you know it does just show right that hes putting everything behind also what astead said is correct. J. D. Vance was not picked because the Trump Campaign thought they would win the popular vote and when the Electoral College i mean, trumps strategy has actually never been to win broadly and to have a broad bipartisan coalition that has always been to get just enough votes to win the Electoral College. Thats when that was the strategy and 16, that was a strategy in 20 and thats a strategy again. So Jd Vances lack of popularity was just never or Popularity Or Likability or frankly authenticity was never part of the calculus. And i would just say to centrist republicans are center right people who, who are trying so hard to become comfortable with trump. Again, even though theyre not and they know better the thing they tell themselves. And then they look in the mirror as they say, hell be ok. If he surrounds himself with the right people but he couldnt even pick a Vice President Candidate Or Somebody to be on the ticket with him, who in genders confidence, or could do to the job and they know that. Alright, so you know, and then max wait, boaters, at least small donors see this is reflected in the fundraising we just saw yesterday, 130 Million from trump. They were saying, i believe if i remember that why are correctly 98 of it was coming from small donors, harris is coming out and i dont know the exact number. I dont know the breakdown, but more than double the overall hall. Yeah. And i promise you if you raise 300 million, its really virtually impossible to accomplish that with large donors. But that, that is a small Donor Fee and at this point, the fundraising is yes, a metric for your ammunition to get your message out in the campaign. But at this point it is also a metric for enthusiasm, because many of the people who are doing those small dollar donations, theyre also knocking on doors. Theyre also talking to their neighbors theres the race this constant effort over these 60 days of who has that energy and what weve seen over prior president ial elections is this statistic that matters more than anything, is enthusiasm in this highly polarized country that we live in, that, that is really kind of thousands i mean, its exponentially more in terms of just People Volunteering for the Harris Campaign versus the Trump Campaign so it is interesting though that now both, each candidate is trying to talk about their support that they have from the other side of the aisle, right . That there has been this to the extent you want to say thats trying to reach across the aisle are not. Heres what vance said about that. Just a couple minutes ago weve got people like nikki haley, and brian kemp, and weve also got Rfk Jr. And tulsi gabbard. You know why common sits. Down for harris, Liz Cheney announcing her backing of harris last night. So does does that matter . I mean, im not talking about the messenger. Im talking about the reality that he is correct and those people are behind trump. Liz cheney is now behind harris. Does that move any votes . I think it speaks to the change in coalitions that are true for both parties. Donald trump is not trying to put together a George W bushs or mitt romneys or whoever in insert previous republican of the past coalition is not even trying to put together his 2016 coalition. He thinks that he can build together a more multiracial working class base. But also bringing the republican party the other in The End. We know that brian kemp, nikki haley, those are people he has targeted personally. There has been a lot of infighting in the republican Party Round Unity around trump for the past year, his bet, this is, we see this with evangelicals also on abortion rights, is that they will come back to him in The End from a sense of negative polarization are antidemocratic. While he expands himself to the middle, we havent seen tim be the best messenger for that, but thats clearly the strategy on the democratic side. They have a consistent story. Theyve been telling about reaching out to maybe youre non maga republicans. We saw at work for them in the midterms and we see kind of Harris And Walz making a concerted effort in the dnc to be for independence, to be for the middle of the base. Because if theres a Warning Sign for harris right now, is that she certainly made it up. The Enthusiasm Gap among our base to put her in the game that biden was frankly, its completely out of but we havent fully seen the independents, the swing, the kind of Middle Of The Road to be able to expand those margins. In particular is winning states. Thats what she our task is now, shes shored up the base, but she has to reach out to the side and i think her Policy And Message has been geared to that Doug Emhoff his campaign for her. You see Vances Family on the trail, walz, his family has been on the trail. Trumps been kind of alone margaret, in terms of that melania, we havent heard much from today. She did release a Black And White to promote her new memoir. So let me play some of that video. Okay . Writing this memoir has been a deeply personal and reflective journey for me as a private person who has often been the subject of Public Scrutiny and me sort of presentation i feel a responsibility to clarify the facts i believe it is important to share my perspective the truth who is the audience for that . I dont know what the next Modeling Agency that my pick her up after they lose the election. I mean, it looks like im so sorry, but like i just that makes my head explode because that is i watched the whole ad and i went to melania trump. Com. You can do it too. Heres whats on melania trump. Com. You can go by book you can buy millennia jewelry. You can buy millennia collectibles. You can buy a millennia christmas ornaments. You can learn a little bit about a charitable organization that helps foster care scholarships, which im sure does has the intention of doing good work. I dont know if it actually does good work because it Trump 501c3 is tend to not be as effect efficacious as other on profits in this country so all it does is Scream Commoditization of money, of the presidency and of public service. And i find that incredibly ugly and beneath the office of the presidency it appears and smells and looks like a grift. But if she wants to tell her story but what it was like to be on the sidelines of a trump presidency, i invite her to do that on cnn, on my program on pbs, on anyone she can do that for free if voters need to be able to consider what she would like to say an offer for this campaign so we can take that into consideration as we go to the polls in november. Maxwell, when yeah. She has every right to tell her story. Its historic very worth telling, but there are really serious questions as to whether or not she wants her husband to win this election. Because if she did she would be campaigning with him and she has been present at nearly zero events, maybe have just a few minutes of the convention and that to me is what is telling him. All right. Well, thank you all very much. And we are just days away from that first president ial debate between Harris And Trump on tuesday. And as we mentioned, harris has been doing Debate Prep in pittsburgh. You can watch the abc News President ial debate simulcast here on cnn as well. It will air at nine eastern and well have coverage before and after the debate next here tonight outfront, the first ballots actually go out to tomorrow the Mustwin State of North Carolina for trump and for rfk Juniors Name for now is still on them.

A cnn special event, the abc News President ial debate tuesday at nine on cnn tonight, Rfk Jr. Fighting to get off the ballot after he fought so hard to get on the ballot in state after state after state. I mean, its been an entire thing for ten months here. Hes now trying to get off the ballot because he endorse first trump after dropping out of the race but it happened late. So hes still on the ballot in North Carolina, michigan, and wisconsin which are three states where Trump And Harris are incredibly close and all three of those particular states have early voting and that voting starts in september. In fact, in North Carolina, the ballots are scheduled to go out tomorrow. And as of now, because scheduled to go out tomorrow, that means that they are printed and ready to go. Definitionally, that means Kennedys Name is on those ballots. And Harry Enten is here with me to go beyond the numbers. I want to talk about that specifically in a moment, harry, because this route could be really crucial. I mean, Trump Pass to win North Carolina for his path to victory so lets talk about this six weeks after harris gets to the top of the Ticket Rfk gets out, you still got this name on the ballot. How much of an impact is early voting. All in, when you hear about it starting this month, going to have, you know, when i was a kid, the idea essentially was we all go and vote on election day. You can take that and chuck at right out the window, we have this fantastic timeline that can sort of Chart Weapon Percentage of the vote is either cast inperson early, are cast by absentee. You go back 40 years ago. It was well less than 10 . It was only about 5 of the electorate. You look back 20 years ago, you see that number go up, but its up to only 21 . Look at this planning to vote either early or by mail in 2024 53 in an average of polls, i should know now that that is lower than 2020 with the pandemic but forget the pandemic for a second and you just look at that Trend Line just a clear trend towards people voting early or by absentee, much more so than ever before. I mean, that is just stunning. Thats more than half of people, correct. Just another way. I. Mean im saving basic math here, but something now that putting it that way really makes my eyes bulge out and its not i mean, North Carolina is mustwin for trump, so were mentioning that in the balance. Go out tomorrow, but where else do these people start voting so early . Yeah Absentee Ballots. So you know, we took a look across the seven key Battleground States that weve all been following. In fact, the majority of them have either early or Absentee Ballot and starting this month, michigan, North Carolina, pennsylvania, and wisconsin, all of them start Absentee Ballot voting in this month. So the Bottom Line is this election doesnt start on november 5th. This election for a lot of folks starts now, or this month, right . And amazing i mean, again, we got to this debate next week. But if those ballots really, when you get a people have already voted before, even something like a debate happens i mean, absolutely possible, especially if theres a second debate between these two. Right. And when you think about what happened to summer in just the space of a few weeks, Nation Attempt at Ticket Changes and all of a sudden, i mean, it puts it in context. All right . So now in the context of North Carolina, at this this, this, this concept that i, that kennedy could be a spoiler, right . That his name could be on the ballot and those ballots going out. Therefore, thats going to confuse people are somehow just take away from trump is that a thing . No, no, the New York times pulled us. We pull up with kennedy on the Ballot Poll without kennedy on the ballot, Kamala Harris, up in that cole by two points with kennedy on the ballot or without, i should note no clear leader. But the Bottom Line is kennedy was getting such a small fraction of the vote. And even if trump picks up a little bit more than harris would, its just so small. It doesnt really make much of a difference, right . And when you look at a state that trump had in the bank and i know its within the margin of error, but shes now up to he has to win that state to win. And theres going to be very difficult if he doesnt, write. All right. Harry, thank you very much. Harry enten beyond the numbers and next Breaking News, we are just learning what the suspected School Shooter told investigators after the massacre is in custody, of course.

Cnn is just obtaining the audio of the sheriffs questioning the alleged 14yearold Shooter last year before he allegedly carried out yesterdays Mass Shooting at his High School in georgia which he killed four people and injured nine more. Heres what he said when investigators asked him about tips at the time last year in school that he was allegedly threatening a School Shooting have you heard anybody on this court when you were using it . Say something like that. Remember . Like at that time yeah. I dont think so. I mean, im not trying to get him by him this is some serious stuff how he knows all certain scissors trust me that i hate to my bosses, like even like i dont know how old is information is you want to wait till monday to follow up on laying. Id rather do it now because the way because God Forbid something happens, i do my job at that i feel pretty bad about it i mean, its just words now its hard to hear God Forbid, something can happen. And now something has and it has come as cnn is learning that grazed father told investigators that he purchased the gun that was used in the killings as a Holiday President present for his son its Isabel Rosales is outfront Saw Colt in custody. With handcuffs on he is cooperating with as far as i know, no talking they still talking barrow county sheriff, Jud Smith was one of the first responders on campus yesterday. It was very nerve wracking going. Theyre not knowing what i was about to to walk into what else about to see and what the situation was supposed he and the entire School Staff are crediting the fast response from Law Enforcement to a new Security System that was implemented at the school just one week ago. 26 i think 26 alerts during the incident when it started within five minutes of the first alert going off, we had this suspect in custody. This system called centegix works with Id Badges that include a panic button. Let teachers and staff can press in an Emergency Situation its an i. D. Card and the teachers can alert and lock the school down and we got multiple alerts have told us where this was going on. The 14yearold Suspect spent the night behind bars at a youth detention center. But on friday, when he makes his first court appearance, he will be charged with murder and he will be tried as an adult. Handled as an adult according to a source familiar with the investigation, new details have emerged from the search of the suspects home. Documents found in his bedroom, believed to be written by him, reference past School Shootings include polluting the 2018 massacre in parkland, florida. But this wasnt the first time the suspect had a runin with Law Enforcement, a 2023 investigative report says that last year the local Sheriffs Office received a tip from the fbi about a series of anonymous threats on the chat platform, Discord To Quote shoot up a Middle School tomorrow. The tip included photo attachments with a Profile Name in russian that translated to adam lanza. The Sandy Hook shooter, the suspect and his father were both interviewed and was father acknowledged Hunting Rifles existed in the home . He said his son did not have unsupervised access to them. The suspect denied making the threats to shoot up a school, stating that he would never say such a thing, even in a joking manner, the case was ultimately cleared because Law Enforcement couldnt substantiate the threats now, weve learned Grace Father told investigators he bought the ar15 for her son after that investigation and several months before he transferred into apalachee the High School. And authorities are trying to figure out how the suspect managed to get that rifle into the school especially because he was so new, he is enrolled in school two weeks ago, twoandahalf weeks ago, and only been in school two days and aaron, we have Breaking News, just dropping here in the last minute that the Georgia Bureau of investigation has arrested Colin Gray, age 54. That is cool. Grace, father in connect chin to this deadly shooting at apalachee High School again, that is called a Grace Father. Hes been charged with the following four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second degree murder, and eight counts of cruelty to children. The gbi will be having a Press Conference here in the next Half Hour or so we expect to get more details and an understanding of what led them to these charges here very soon. And aaron, i do want to leave you with this right here. A community united here as a son is setting in grief, there laying flowers, balloons paying their respects to again, the floor dead two teachers to students at apalachee High School. And isabel just in this this Breaking News, were now hearing the audio which was just so chilling of the fbi asking questions of the shooter. I his prior school about these threats that one line, God Forbid something happened and i didnt do my job when then investigators said i brought him in to ask these questions. Now, i didnt wait over the weekend and of course here we are. Are you learning anything more about Colin Gray . I mean, do we even know if hes in custody as you get all of these charges, which obviously are extremely significant especially in the context of the fact that he gave his son this gun and he is the other voice we hear that there in that question. He was there with his son right and we have stunning reporting from my colleagues, Mark Morales and Ryan Young that found that again, investigator spoke with the father with the sun back in may of last year, but then about six or seven months later as a holiday or Christmas Gift he bought the same gun that was used to carry out this attack as a gift to his son. I spoke with the sheriff earlier who told me that anything was on the table, including possible charges against Colin Gray, his father, colt gray, father who had custody of his son. And here we are hours later and hes been charged the biggest question again is how cold allegedly got access to this gun, right . How it wasnt unlocked, how he managed to get it inside of the school . That is what led to these charges. And we hope to find out more from the gbi here in the next halfhour. All right. Isabel, as you get out, of course, were going to come back to you as we get more information. Thank you very much. And i think also just important to emphasize isabel, ryan, makes reporting and as shes laying that out, that you hear that questioning here, the father brought in and with his son for that questioning, and it was after that questioning sink six months after when he gave his child the gun. That his child then used to murder People Yesterday in georgia. I want to go to Tim Clemente now, former fbi special Agent And Swat team member, tim. I just as were hearing this audio, as i said, it is it is hard to listen to. You heard that agent and the sheriff says, say, look, i just God Forbid something happened. I do my job, i want to bring you in now. I want to do this questioning. Let me play a bit more of the audio that weve obtained yeah. Ive assessable to him having Theres Nothing loaded, but they are down we actually, we do a lot of shooting. We do a lot there on he shot his first year this year so im free good much in shock, may be honest well, come little off to be even really honest that event is what was said at that tim, that hes referring to are the threats about shooting a school that they brought in colt gray, the alleged shooter here, to ask him about seven months after that conversation . When theyre talking. Thats the father talking about his Sons Access to guns seven months after that conversation he gives him a gun he gives him a gun for christmas, and that is the gun that his son used to kill People Yesterday. How do you even process this you know, aaron, its almost impossible to process. Obviously, the father didnt take those threats seriously, didnt consider as some as the suspect that may have made those threats the visit by the local Sheriffs Department investigators to talk to the son and the father as a 13yearold kid, that possibly made those threats to think that it might wake the father up. That maybe he didnt know everything he should know about his son. And its disheartening that he would be so stupid as to he says in the interview that my son does have access to weapons and theyre not loaded, but he has access to them and then he just increases that access with an additional rifle that tragically used yesterday i mean, it is it is really incredible so you heard the investigator say i my supervisor said, are you going to do this today or do you want to wait through the weekend in terms of the questioning of this kid the alleged shooter cold, who now is 14 at the time was 13 because god Corbetts Something happened. I didnt do my job. Thatd be id feel pretty bad about that. Now, you hear there in the followup the 13yearold saying, oh, i would never make such a threat. I would never do anything. I know this is serious. And then it just it all went away. When you hear all of this, does it make sense to you that it kind of went away . I mean, this kid then transferred to a New School. I dont know what level of awareness they had about any of this history we dont area thats the biggest question that i have is what awareness did the New School have . Good his teachers have that maybe this is a kid they should be looking at more closely now, obviously a threat is significant enough that it goes from the fbi to local authorities to investigate further. But its not enough to arrest the kid because they really they cant tie his fingerprints to that threat, even though it may have come from his hike ip address, his email address, whatever the connections were. They may not have had enough to actually charge him with anything if they were able to prove that it was his threat. But it doesnt mean you dont look more closely at the kid as a parent, as a teacher, a school Administrators Everyone should have been looking more closely at this kid and his behavior. And obviously they werent. No. And i mean, i was talking to the kid who sits next to him who was sitting next to him and algebra when he got up to leave. And she said, well, i didnt think anything of it because hes always skipping class right. Already this year, one month into school the kid who sits next to him knew that this kid had it had issues and problems just because of that, no other interaction. But these are things that in the context of what we, of what they knew obviously should have should have stood out, tim. Thank you very much. I am grateful for your time. Well, when we think about the people who died because of what happened, a beloved Football Coach and a math teacher, richard aspinwall, he was among the four victims killed at apalachee High School the students mason schermerhorn, Christian Angulo also killed Teacher Christina Air me. Tributes are pouring in for them tonight. Now, aspinall was known as Coach A by his students many calling him a hero tonight, 39yearsold, killed, protecting his students according to a gofundme set up by his family. He leaves behind his wife, shayna, and two young daughters, Nick Block joins me now. Hes been friends with aspinall for more than a decade. They coach together for five years for aspinall began teaching at apalachee High School. Nic ill just start by saying, im so sorry for this unfathomable moment that you are in that you you know, with everything that we here in this country with these shootings that you never wouldve thought would touch you in this way you texted your Friend Yesterday when you heard about the shooting . And he didnt respond what did you think in that moment honestly, that moment i thought the odds are got to be super low. It cant possibly be him. I mean, theres probably 2000 kids, thousand other people walking around that building you know, were down to one and 3,000, but thats still crazy odds. Theres no way. And then maybe 2030 minutes later, i started getting a few texts from fellow coaches that we all work together. We were all really close and a couple of guys started saying that they were hearing that maybe it was him and and then i just started shaking and kind of speechless and didnt know what to do for a few hours mixed messages coming in at that point. So thats thats thats kinda how the first couple of hours wet nic i dont i dont know how it must feel to you when you hear what we were just playing. Thank yet allegedly made these threats a year ago and his prior school. And then they they actually call them in an investigators interviewed him and his father was there and the investigator says, God Forbid something happened. I didnt do my job. I feel pretty bad about that. He was saying that as to why hes going to do this interview on a friday and not wait over the weekend. I mean, they took it seriously and yet the father then after that interview gives gives his Son A Gun seven months later i mean, i dont know when youre literally hearing all this right now, if you were plugged in a few minutes early, i mean, are you even able to process that information and how does it make you feel to hear that . Im honestly not able to process too much of it certainly infuriating a little bit, kind of makes me makes my Stomach Turn but at the same time like i just heard it a few seconds ago and im just really here to honor my friend and he how great he was when you talked to his wife and i know you did have a chance to talk to her Yesterday And Today and her daughters you were at their wedding. Hes known them a long time. Youve coached with him weve got a picture of you fishing together. I mean, just in terms of the regular things that you love to do, that you do together yeah what was he like just the best. I mean, the best human most beautiful Soul Youve ever met would go so far Above And Beyond for everybody around them. I mean for the students and his math classes, for teachers and his department, coaches. I mean, he never had to ask him to do anything. He just did it because he just wanted everybody around them to be great. And i think that was his calling. It was just in his dna to help everybody around him so he was just so good at that. He just made us all admire them and love them. So thats why were also broken up right now his his wife and daughters, their losses is truly unimaginable over the years from their wedding, you would have your with him when those those girls were born. What do they mean to him . Thats the hardest part about it. Ive told a few People Today how he was how he was with my daughter because she was very young in the Field House when i was coaching there and she was just a magnet to him and how he was like the biggest Toi Shed ever seen and he just smile and shed sit like right next to him and take up all the space and just want to be nirim and we just knew he would be the best daughter. Dad ever. We all just were so pleased when he had little girls because he was born to do that. And that is the part that is the most tragic because i mean, he had some time, but she should have been here for all of it with them yes, he should have well, nick, thank you very much. I know its hard to do this and i appreciate your doing it coming on and talking about him. Thank you. No problem. Thank you and just wanted to make sure we tried to support the family as much as we can. Yes. Thank you very much, nic.

Trump today announcing mosque will lead what he calls a Government Efficiency Commission for his administration.

And ilan because hes not very busy, has agreed to head that Task Force Trump claiming that Mosques Commission could save trillions of dollars and not affect any services.

I think we need to take the right path. And and i think youre the right path american needs a strong leader. Theyll think twice about messing with Trump Musk has also pushed and embrace the host of unfounded conspiracy theories. Ill try now the former republican governor of maryland and u. S. Senate candidate now, larry hogan. And of course your race, governor very well could determine which party controls the senate, which, which now is a real, very important question for this country. So governor, i just want to start with that news now, trump saying, you know what the New York economic Club Today that Elon Musk is going to be in charge of this commission if he wins would you be comfortable with that . You know, if if trump wins that Elon Musk would have such a major role in u. S. Policy and spending well, i obviously i never heard anything about this. Were out there busy campaigning here in maryland. I just heard it just now sitting on your show, i really had no time to follow that i dont have much reaction to it at all other than look, im im all for Government Efficiency and its the kind of thing that we focused on for eight years when i was governor of maryland, but i dont really havent the details of what, what trump said today. I dont pay much attention to what he says actually. All right. So to that point, youre not paying too much attention to what trump says. Thats true and to the extent that you do, you have often been on the other side of it, Governor Mean and youve been very open about your campaign, actually just ruling a series of new ads and i just wanted to play two of them, parts of two of them here they are in a really critic of Donald Trump. One of the few republicans who never caved to an on january 6, as we watched in horror, hogan didnt just talk about defending democracy. He did something sending in the Maryland National Guard to protect the capitol near attacking and his antiwomen. Nothing could be further from the truth. As governor, dad kept his word to provide Birth Control at no cost and he supports choice by restoring roe in every state that last hour, governor, featuring your daughters just hit the air tonight. You know, some watching these ads. If i hadnt introduced you as far a problem, governor of Maryland Mightve thought those were ads for democrats, right . That these are ads democrats could be running how do you feel about that . But said that in that is the environment that were in. Well, look, this is this is all nothing new. I mean, ive been the same person for the past decade and i ran i was elected as a republican governor in the bluest state in america, and then reelected as only the second one in 248 years. So my positions havent changed and actually my my two daughters actually did an ad like that in 2014 14, and in 2018. So were they keep running the same kind of false attacks against us, which is this heartening that they tried to use issues as important as reproductive rights as, you know falsely attacking me. But we have to keep defending ourselves. But look, i was no secret that im The One that sent the Maryland National Guard and the mental State Police to defend democracy and send them to the capitol. We were the first ones to arrive. And so its not switching tactics or me saying things that are unusual. I mean, ive been probably the most outspoken critic of Donald Trump since the day he came down the escalator and my record as governor is pretty clear on all of these issues is, you know, a few moments ago, i played a clip and im sure you werent plugged in for this, but trump was it was just trump being a comment saying, oh, j. D. Vance and i are weird. We may be many other things, but but were not weird and sort of playing on that fact that that word and being called weird has gotten some its trended and its gotten picked up, right . And hes noticed it to the extent that he tried to make that sort of Flip Comment to acknowledge it, but make it go away and i just want to play it for you. A part of it of what he said here it is jb is not weird. Hes a solid rock. I happen to be a very solid rock. Were not weird, were other things perhaps, what were not weird . It does seem governor that for him to bring that up and do that in that way, its under his skin thats often how he responds when something is just their festering do you think that means its been effective . Well, i mean, its certainly got some traction, but it seems like it did get under his skin, but look, i think the whole kind of the Election Season is weird and everything thats happening in our broken politics is weird. And you know that i dont, i dont blame Donald Trump for pushing back on that, but i think people are tired of weird and theyre tired of extremist the rhetoric from both sides. And i think one of the reasons why im doing so well in a Deepblue State is that people think im normal and maybe its about time we just focus on regular folks that actually want to solve problems and bring people together and fix some of the serious problems facing the nation just i, its not a serious campaign on either side. Were just kind of typical politics as usual rhetoric. And i think people want straight talk instead of all the nonsense were hearing from all over the place. Here, as you say, governor hogan, im normal good ad right there. Knew all right. What governor its great to see you. Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Thank you erin all right.
