Rescue of a florida man and his dog the officer who pulled off that rescue is outfront with new video of what happened and more breaking news this hour, new strikes in beirut as is as it targeted the head of hezbollah. Iran warning is israel and claiming the u. S. Is complicit. Let's go outfront evening. I'm erin burnett outfront tonight. The breaking news. Kamala harris at the border, the vice president about to give a major speech on an issue that she's trying to take headon. Harris is gaining on trump in multiple national polls when it comes to the border and immigration the polls, the trip, the optics today all have trump clearly worried she didn't go there for four years now, today, she shows up. I don't know. Maybe she's already gotten i doubt it, but she's went to the border today. She wants to save him. She could salvage make up some lies this is an issue trump has been hammering harris on since she entered the race she never went to the border and she was a horrible borders are are only job was the border and she'd never went there. She never went there once she did go there once he could give her that because it's not much more than zero, but it is the second trip that is clearly irking trump although it was not the only thing on his mind today. I'm proud to say. I think i'm the only politician that's lost. I've lost billions on. I don't give a damn. I knew i'd lose a lot. I didn't know i was going to lose that bucs i wanted to lose. I could have made a fortunate now, of course, trump is on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars in legal penalties as a convicted felon. And he has lost a lot of money on his businesses, but he is making a fortune by any normal human standard right now. He is in fact now selling watches at $100,000 each now, just to be clear, in case this distinction matters, these watches are being sold for personal profit, not for his campaign. We looked up the disclaimer on the brand new trump watches website and it says, quote, these watches are not political and have nothing to do with any political campaign and for those who can afford $100,000 for an 18 carat gold diamond encrusted watch that says it is suisse made. There are other options. Trump is also selling less expensive watches for 799 or at the lowest price, $0. 499 i guess what this is not the first thing he has sold during his campaign. He has sold $499 gold sneakers. He sold $99 digital trading cards. Now the digital trading cards or interesting because they've been up there for a while. So we know from his disclosures that he made $7. 2 million off of those digital trading cards alone we do not know how much he made from the bibles he sold because yes, he did sell bibles for $59. 99 which come emblazoned with the words god bless the usa. And of course that picture of trump on the website. All of those items sold just to be clear, we check the disclaimers were sold to benefit trump not to raise money for the campaign it's something he's not shy about this is the trump brand trump watches, trump coins, trump at the digital trading cards, trump steaks, trump university, trump, again well priscilla alvarez is outfront in douglas, arizona. That is what trump will be watching and everyone will be watching extremely closely right now because the vice president kamala harris is scheduled to speak where you are, priscilla, just a few moments. And i know you're learning new information about what she is expected to say tonight. This is a very important address at whais she going to say well, notably, erin, as she plans to go further than president joe biden on the issue of border security. I'm told by a senior campaign official that she plans to embrace president joe biden's asylum crackdown from earlier this summer. But then also go further. And by the i mean, she wants to set the threshold for when these restrictions lift higher and harder to lift. So essentially this restriction that's been in place she would make it tougher for that to be lifted in the future. So these are the types proposals that we anticipate to hear more of from the vice president as she makes her pitch the key is tougher on border security, and not only compared to former president donald trump, but also compared to president biden. Of course, this has been an administration and that has wrestled with multiple border crises and record numbers of migrants crossing the u. S. Mexico border. But over recent months, that number has plummeted after that crackdown that i mentioned that happened over the summer. Now advisers to the vice president are still concerned about the gap that they see an immigration polling, but they tell me they see an opportunity here to sort to close the gap there reason for that is because recent polling has shown that the former president's lead has started to erode on the issue what going up against the vice president compared to president joe biden. And so this is what they are trying to close further. Now, the vice president today is also going to needle former president donald trump over the bipartisan border measure that was tanked by him. And republicans saying that no one wants a president quote, playing political games now the vice president, in addition today has been on the u. S. Mexico border. She's receiving a briefing from border authorities and we'll bring that message also here later this evening. Evening as again, she tries to get an edge on this issue also, in a battleground state of arizona, are priscilla. Thank you very much as we are awaiting the vice president's remarks, which will take live. Obviously this is an important policy moment in the campaign. Everyone's here with me now and instead, kamala harris, just before, so she's about to speak here and we do expect that in a few moments, but she did just speak to the cameras. Let me play what she said they were wellknown hours that very dedicated and some hair talking to them about what we can continue to do to support them and to also thank them, feel heartburn that for action. So that fits with what priscilla said, that she is going to she's supportive of the customs and border patrol, that she's going to be tougher on asylum, then the policies. And here's where this is the twist. The policies of the administration of which she is the vice president, right does that work i think this is what obviously democrats play is if we think about the kind of three main issues in this race the economy, abortion, and immigration. Democrats understand that immigration is the one they are weakest on as donald trump's most offensive issue is what he wants this election to be about and so you have kamala harris on the defensive coming into this, but they see us as increasingly an opportunity where they can basically play to a draw after the debate, where she really able to needle donald trump specifically from what she outlined earlier, priscilla outlined that trump was the one who blew up that bipartisan border bill. You have come here, was leaning more and more into it and i find it very interesting that this is the place where she decides to break with the administration and say, i will be even tougher. I think that's a recognition of some of the, of where immigration is for a lot of undecided voters. And i think this is her going back to the law enforcement brand we saw before. The presidential run in 2019. I think this is somewhat interesting though, because when we think back to where democrats were four years ago, they weren't really saying what they wanted to do on immigration and the border. They were basically just saying what donald trump is doing is discriminatory with donald trump is doing is wrong. Now, we have them kind of emitting a little bit that there is an issue that needs to be solved even if they're saying that our solutions are better than his. I think the only question here is, as they elevate the border as an issue, as an issue for this race. Does that really entice voters to go to them over trump? if you're a voter who thinks that immigration is the most important issue? isn't donald trump the one who's made that most central? that's the kind of game that they're playing. They want to acknowledge the problem. There's simply just trying to offer themselves as the solution. So all right. So ashley donald trump tonight meanwhile is repeating as he often has when he attacks harris on immigration and migrants who have entered the country, he is talking about some of the worst things that have happened here. He is they come up, they grab young girls and they slice them up right in front of their parents to let our american sons and daughters be raped and murdered that the hands of vicious bonds she led american communities. Be conquered i mean, you know, at best, brutal words, despite how trump phrases it though there are horrible stories that we have all heard about laken riley in georgia, of course, is one of them. Does trump talking like that resonate with voters specifically? anyone undecided yeah. I mean i mean the voters that matter most at this stage of the game is definitely those one to 2% undecided voters, those disaffected republicans who don't want to go back to donald trump. So they matter most. I don't think that those types of messages really resonated with him. I think they fall on deaf ear, you know, i would like to take a step back if you don't mind that what the vice president i was on your show when she did the georgia rally and i remember pointing out to you the first topic she leaned into was immigration. She has consistently been leaning into both immigration and the economy and it's, and it's having positive is it a correlations with the polls she's closing the gaps with donald trump on each one of these issues. She's really defying what democrats typically do on these issues. We typically don't lean in as she is and it's actually working the strategies working. There's it's not without risk her going down to the border is not without risk because it does give them the opportunity to make this point that she's only been one other time but the point is you've got to run that risk to just peel off some of these voters. And i think she's actually doing that. She's demonstrating not just that she's presidential, she's also reinforcing her credentials as a former ag on a border state. She's also really spotlighting the point. Hopefully she does is later today spotlighting the point that donald trump is is the problem. There was a bill, democrats and republicans came together on a bill which hardly ever happens in washington. He stood in the way of it. I would also add though, if you don't mind, erin, that he's been a total disaster on the border, the wall that he said he built is not even erected. Mexico, i still haven't seen any receipts for them paying for it. I think she's also going to lean into the point that he has no credibility on the issue of the border, right? i mean, while some of the wall was erected, part of it using harris add as kfile had found david, let me ask you though about the point that ashley just made about how she doesn't need to win on the issue she needs to just close the margin on some people and we've seen that in the polling, ashley has a point in arizona don't know what harris is tonight. Trump against trump. I mean, i'm sorry, against biden. Trump was up 20 points on immigration against harris. He's up by 15 in an election this close, you know, all you got to do is you don't have to win it. You just got to narrow that gap and it appears that she is doing that yeah. I don't listen. I'm not going to live or die over polls are a snapshot poll so the trend has been terrible on immigration and who do you trust in the border for the current vice president? the sun, you know, when the last time she was with the border was erin nobody can remember. It was over three years ago if she really cared about the border, but why she's she's doing a little better in the polling is what i just pointed out. Erin and nbc at the latest, nbc poll has, which is about a week old hazard down 21 points to trump on the border and immigration. Her going to the border just reminds people that she entered run for president in 2021, took the position on having immigrants who crossed the border illegally, not prosecuted legally. She said, i want to criminalize that. I want to lessen the money for border agents. Cbp. So when she's going there and saying, i want to get tougher for just get on a plane and go back to washington, go into your office and the oeo be where you're the current vice president and get tougher today. She doesn't need to wait for until january 20. She's in the job as you pointed out, it's hard to it's hard to run against the administration that you're a part of. And that's what she's trying to do. And it 40 days out, voters aren't buying it okay? i said, i mean, what he's going to add is that she actually go ahead and said then actually jump in i'll just say that what he's pointing out, this is a true transition for democrats where they were four years ago on this is not where the party is now. There adds up my point. There has been a concession of the importance of the issue and what harris is trying to do is again, to slow down that margin. But i would say that they had not created a vision of what immigration system would look like. And harris hasn't done so even again now. And so i don't think i don't think they're trying to really get it to a 50 place, even if we take a thing like arizona, there's an abortion referendum on the ballot in november to some of what democrats are going to do trying to defend on this issue. But some of what they're going to try to do is deflect and make sure other issues become more of a priority for voters. That i agree with any of that, but i appreciate the effort. But i want to get back to the point that was made earlier. Is she she actually has gotten tougher. The administration has gotten over from where they were when they came into the administration. The first proposal that they offered to congress was a comprehensive proposal on immigration since then, they've gotten tough. The republicans walked away from the bill. They implemented increased security at the border. Border crossings are down 40%. They're lower than they were under donald trump so there is signs which she went back into the white house and got tougher on the issue and it's actually working. Yeah. David, aaron, i just real quickly i just add with this this administration created this crisis if they would have just left the trump border policies in place, which we're working, immigration was downright illegal. Imm was down we wouldn't be here today. We wouldn't have 10 million illegal immigrants in this time. You know the chyron on my little box of your says nantucket on the island to smile and etiquette 15,000 year on residents for gotaways, ice came over and got four gotaways who committed violent sexual assaults to child rapes, to sexual assaults on other residents here in the immigrant community, your point is well taken, erin, it is affected communities all across the nation, not just border communities, not just big cities. Small cities all across america. And it's a crisis that was created by this administration just left to go the trump administration did a good job, right? well, thank you all very much. I appreciate it. We are awaiting kamala harris is at remarks which are going to be coming any moment, as he said, it's a crucial policy issue. W
