Phillip starts now purge. The former president calls for no holds barred. If you had one really violent day to end the united states is crime problem immediately plus unhinged kamala is mentally impaired untrue. Joe biden became mentally impaired. Kamala was born that way to states, to rallies. Donald trump, doubling down on personal attacks as the election draws closer, also caught in the storm, a natural disaster takes center stage on the campaign trail. And live from new york. It's the battle of the benchwarmers tim walz and j. D vance spar, sidebyside tomorrow night, live at the table as he cupp, scott jennings, keith boykin and congressman byron donalds with 35 days to go, americans with different perspectives aren't talking to each other. But here they do i'm abby phillip in new york. Let's get right to what america is talking about donald trump taps into american carnage as voting gets underway across the country. And is he getting policy ideas from b list hollywood movie? well that's because what he is saying sounds like it was ripped from the pages of the purge. It's a movie franchise, but here it is they don't pay read the dead, the city does have a whole, it's a chain of events. It's so bad one rough hour. And i mean real rough. The word will get out and it will end immediately. And maybe whatever you want, i guess it is a literal movie plot, but reallife policy. Well, it's not policy. And this is red meat for the base because they don't ask questions about, well, how would you do this and how would this work if just read red meat and i think it works for the base, but it actually it reminded me of the purge first. And then it reminded me more of the hunger games where the ruling class puts a bunch of people together every year and says, you guys kill each other to show control and instill fear in an electorate. And the citizenry, if we're competitive pairing movies. But this is real life and this is the kind of thing that turns off the people he needs to win people in swing states who are undecided, who want to hear policy solutions, not stuff like this. I mean, but in all seriousness, congressman, i mean, is he suggesting that cops can do whatever they want? for a day and that will actually solve the problem. No, he's not even the clip you just played was five seconds out of for donald trump and our speech, i think a lot of times people say, oh well, he said this for five seconds. Yes, he says, he says things that are unscripted. He goes off the cuff off the cuff. He's not serious yes there's no policy behind that, but i think more the american people truly are is at least want to hear what somebody is thinking full throated versus kamala harris, who was completely scripted, like badly script if i there's nothing coming out of her policy than if it's not that, then what is actually the solution he wants to make sure that police are supported so they're uphold holding the law in every city in our country. I was in duane reed last night here in new york, just trying to get razor blades so i can get a fresh shave two for today. I had to press the button. It's for the attendance to come to open up the case just so i can get a pack of razor blades that's what's going on in every major city of america. Americans are fed up with that kind of stuff. It happens because you do have a dereliction of support for law enforcement in too many cities in america. And so there's a major anc is going on amongst the american people. Donald trump said a comment for five seconds. That's not setting policy, that's revealing banks of the amount of people down. Trump has a history of saying inflammatory things it's not just those five seconds, congressman. And you know that he has a history that goes back from the time when he first ran for office and he's talked about telling people in his rallies to knock the crap out. He had a history, even when i was working here at cnn, he was telling people how cnn is the enemy of the people. You know what a guy named cesar sayoc pipe bombs to this building or an up to the other building. This cnn used to be in and tried to kill people. Donald trump says things that could get people hurt when he talked about liberating michigan, what happened? gretchen whitmer, the governor of michigan, they tried to kidnap or there's a plot to try to kidnap her every time he says something, it's just five seconds. Inflammatory statements like that. What happened when we have january 6? it's because donald trump opened his big mouth and wouldn't shut up. And i wished at some point, congressman, you would at least have the courage to stand up to your to your dear leader and tell him when he's doing wrong, are we going to do just apologize to you about the reference to for him? you're going to talk about the rhetoric directed at donald trump because we do realize that he's are you going to either. Continue it's just not going to answer what i just said. Hang on one second. Let's talk about that. Let's actually talk about rhetoric because here's what trump supporters have been saying. People here, this violent and dangerous rhetoric and we're going to have a copycat is coming and he's just unfortunate. Somebody is going to get killed. I'd say that's pretty strong evidence that the left needs to tone down the rhetoric and needs to cut this crap out. Somebody is gonna get hurt by it. It works when we see the liberal elite literally trying to take out a opponent. Now, do they cause it? so according to those gentlemen, there saying that trump is a threat to democracy is violent rhetoric, but trump saying, let's just have one really violent day that is not violent rhetoric no he didn't say one violent day. What he said well, let's let's be honest about what he actually said again and again because he didn't even say that. But go ahead. Can we buy it again? i want to hear got a business right? they don't pay rent. The dead, the city does have a whole it's a chain of events it's so bad one rough hour. And i mean real rough the, word will get out and it will end is that not violent rhetoric? we have to acknowledge the reality going on in every city in america, not answering his mask, not answering the question that is answering a question. I was reality in america, holland keith, the reality in america is that i crime is massively up. It is not massive you want you're line. We already know that there was just released data this week the crime is going down or no oh my god. Why did you have you what do you let this man lie on you now for the first six months of the year, but look at the line that shows that crime is going down. So why do you continue to say that? i do think though in some time, let you get it, but i do want the car if you look at crime rates in the united states, since the pandemic to this current point, this parent period in time crime is up here over the over the year we're going to pry this up violent crime it has not returned to prepandemic levels yet, but it is trending thank down. That is, i'm looking at your chart right now, 2021 is when joe biden, a kamala harris, came into office, look at that spike up and violent crime. What donald trump but this is where it went after 2021. This is important. This is important this is crime is going down and. Now it's put the chart back though, put america that looks, look at where he's 2021. When joe biden and kamala harris came into office in 2021 there is up for violent crime in the united states of america. And you know, i'm not charge. Like i'm like what what i wanted to find second, because we were just hold on. It's not silly what people have i'm sorry. I'm sorry, abby, please go ahead. Of course. We have to deal in facts here. Thanks okay. It's it's it's clear as day the fbi put out statistics for the first half of this year the numbers, the trend lines are going down in all of those different categories, murders, rapes, robberies, property crime, aggravated assault. For 2023, the trend line is going down. If you don't believe the fbi independent people who look at these numbers say the same thing. There was a spike in crime during the pandemic. That is true. Nobody disputing that. But the reality is, is that crime is going down. You don't have to you don't have to twist the facts to make the case that people feel unsafe, just say people feel safe. I'm not even twisting the facts. You put up a chart. I just looked at the chart myself. The bottom line was from 2021. Well, what happened in 2021? joe biden and kamala harris came into office. This is my democrat politicians were all the rage for defund the police. He said, he do with that. Can i finish my heart? really monopolize this hire conversation for the most prosperous the table that even let go i'm not lying, i'm telling you the truth. You don't want to hear the track that's the problem up during this here to trenton that she's sharing scientist even know why he's stage tonight similar to inflict because i'm bringing facts because you're similar to inflation in 2024, the trend lines are coming down slowly, but that ignores the reality of 20 he 21, 2022, 2022, 2023. You know what the american people are concerned about which donald trump is speaking to massive inflation brought to us by joe biden and calm waters. It is very true. Even larry summers said, you can interrupt all you want, but it's the facts. I wasn't a house. You were not i know exactly what you were doing in the house but the minimum move on the lama finishing here, you have massive inflation created by joe biden and kamala, true, the same chart you just put up 2021 through 2023, crime rates going up, and then slowly tapering off in 2024. And then we're supposed to sit here and act like, oh, happy days are here again, because the trend lines are going down the trend lines over the last four years our massively up, that's what donald trump is speaking to crowds that's how the american is just about what's going on. And i will say that the trend lines are not just going down, but the crime is going back to very close to what it was before the pandemic. But i got i'm to let you get in here. Sure. Look, i think when people step outside their front door they're not consulting charts and graphs are consulting what they see with their own eyes and how they feel about their own communities. It is indisputable that in some places in the united states, people do feel like they live in increasingly violent areas that may not be true for every city. But anybody watching tonight live in washington, dc it's, it's violent and what you said about the drug stores is true. People are walking into stores and they're looking at cases where things very basic, things are locked up and they're asking themselves, well if crime is going down why is this stuff still under lock and key? so apart from the idea of debate at the stats over what period of time when you're in the middle of an election? voters are processing things through their own daily experience, isn't what they're experiencing right now, is some amount of fear and some amount of what their own eyes. What are these stores know that i don't know that they are in danger from some kind of crazy. I mean, i think that that's it's an important point that people's perspective on this is matters, but i also think that a lot of times that's a lagging indicator on what they might what they're feeling today is a reflection of their experiences over a period of time. And there was a period of time, especially coming out of the pandemic when crime was higher, i think there's just i mean, people still down, but we started this conversation africa what is trump's solution to get back to me. We've heard an answer second to your point. I don't think you're going to win voters over by saying your feelings are a lagging indicator. I just don't think that that relates two people. The facts are the facts, the stats are the stats feelings are real vo and i can tell you, i don't feel safe in many cities that i visit today that i felt safe in five years ago. That doesn't say anything about the stats that says something about how i feel now, a responsible person who wants to be president of the united states shouldn't prey on and stoke that fear of leader would tamped that. You're down and say, here are the very real things that i'm going to do. Very calmly, very quietly, very cooly, very competently to assuage, to make you feel better to fix this problem. What trump is doing instead is throwing a match on gasoline on gasoline because he loves to light up his base and watch them yell at other americans, get angry at other americans, tear other americans down. That's not helping outfile. He has correctly identified the feeling of a lot of people on the economy, immigration and crime. But he is not responsibly addressing what he should do about them. We are going to continue this conversation. Everyone stick around coming up next donald trump is now escalating the personal attacks against kamala harris, calling her mentally impaired, and now his republican allies, some of them are scolding him for it plus breaking news tonight, the devastating aftermath of hurricane helene becomes a focal point in this campaign.

Com laura coates, live tonight at 11 eastern on cnn every breath he takes, every rally he makes every truth he breaks. Donald trump appears to be getting more unhinged. Just listen to the newest and maybe the most personal attack yet against kamala harris joe biden became mentally impaired kamala was born that way. I never you think about it only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country. Anybody would know this? okay. Maybe you think that was an accident and off the cuff remark, well, here it is. Again, the very next day crooked joe biden became mentally. Impaired, said. But lying, kamala harris honestly, i believe she was born that way there's something wrong with kamala and i just don't know what it is, but there is definitely something missing scott since i owe you some extra time after that last segment, you got to you don't owe me anything. It's a privilege to sit out here with people but but i mean, he's doubling down under my only takeaway might be that this is a strategy. Well, it's not uncommon in political campaigns to call your opponent dumb or stupid or some variation thereof. I do want to say this about its i'm sorry. Say what you said. It's common for people to call their political opponents, dog. Would you like some examples? x rnc chair rips, gop, listening, trump buying, being led by the stupid howard stern. Trump voters are stupid. Trump unveils new idiotic strategy not lazy, stupid, childish. Why donald trump is losing. Those are scott kamala harris herself, donald trump quote, unable to comprehend anything. So it is not uncommon to call into question the mental, the mental capacities of your opponent. But let me say one thing i do not like the use of the term mentally disabled there are great many people in this country with mentally disabled family members are children that have varying degrees that is not right, that is wrong but i don't i do think the pearl clutching over the concept of criticizing someone's term in office or policy decisions is not being smart, is a little overblown, but i don't like it, but i don't like that's not what he was saying. I mean, he was saying very clearly there that she is like joe biden in his mind, mentally disabled. He got there biden got there and she was born that way and i'm really grateful, scott that you said that because it matters. Some people listened to you and it's important that you acknowledge that that was an awful thing to say switching to strategy, it's funny because harrison trump have two different problems harris needs to get back democratic coalition voters that biden lost and that democrats have been losing black i commend hispanic men, young voters, muslim voters. Trump needs to win over independents, moderates, and undecideds that have left the republican party. They are both struggling with their missions, but his is fixable. She's losing these coalition voters because they don't believe democratic policies have fixed their problems. She can't there's no time machine. She can't go back and fix that. He can stop the rhetoric that is turning off the very voters he needs to get, but he's, it's a fixed but he won't doing it. In fact is doubling down i disagree with what se say. I don't think that this is not a fixable problem for kamala harris and actually she's got the momentum on her side and enthusiasm on her side as well. Well but i think the problem is that do
