And also ahead, well take a look at the damage caused by Tropical Storm he lean after catastrophic flooding and massive Power Outages devastating the southeast, leaving at least 89 people did. Good Morning And Welcome to Way Too Early on this monday, september 30th. Im jonathan lemire. Thanks for starting your Day And Week with us. And we have a lot to get to this morning. Well begin with politics. And with just about five weeks to go until the november election, former president Donald Trump spent the Weekend Campaigning in several key Battleground States, and once again used extreme rhetoric to attack his opponent, Vice PresidentKamala Harris. Kamala is mentally impaired. If a republican did what she did if a republican did what she did, that republican would be impeached and removed from office, and rightfully so for high crimes and misdemeanors. Joe biden became mentally impaired. Kamala was born that way. She was born that way. And if you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country. Anybody would know this. Theres something wrong with kamala, and i just dont know what it is, but there is definitely something missing, and you know what . Everybody knows it. Shes a stupid person, a stupid person. I dont care. I dont care. This is a radical left lunatic were dealing with. By the way, if she wins, its not going to be so pleasant for me, but i dont care. I dont really care. We have a job to do. I cant let her win. Deeply offensive. During his events over the weekend, trump also reiterated his pledge to go after people who cheat in the election. If i lose, ill tell you what. Its possible. Its because they cheat. Its the only way i lose because they cheat. They cheat like hell. If they didnt cheat, i wouldnt have to be here. You know why . I dont have to campaign. Im here because they cheat. They cheat in this state, especially in philadelphia, and ill mention a couple other areas. For the most Part But Philadelphia is out of control. Detroit is out of control. Atlanta is out of control. Places are out of control. Out of control. Because if there was no cheating, if god came down from on high and said i am going to be your Vote Tabulator for this election, i would leave this podium right now because i wouldnt have to speak. We wouldnt have any problem. We have to have a landslide because they cheat so damn much. If we win and when we win, were going to prosecute people that cheat on this election. And if we can, well go back to the last one if were allowed. Were going to prosecute people. Its going to happen. Dangerous threats. Cheating would only happen in big cities where, of course, voters are people of color. And trump used another attack, this time when it comes to criminal justice. He said one violent day of policing will end crime in america. You know, these are smart smart people. Theyre not so stupid. But they have to be taught. Now, if you had one really violent day, a guy like mike kelly, put him in charge. Congressman kelly, put him in charge for one day mike, would you say hes right here. Hes a great congressman. Would you say, mike, if you were in charge, you would say, oh, please, dont touch them, dont touch them. Let them rob the store. All these stores go out of business, right . They dont pay rent. Its a chain of events. Its so bad. One rough hour and i mean real rough the word will get out, and it will end immediately. End immediately. You know . It will end immediately. Trumps suggesting setting aside the constitution. Later his campaign said he was only talking about enforcing existing laws. Last Year Trump called for police to shoot shoplifters on the spot. Joining us now, national Politics Reporter for the hill, julia manchester. Julia, thank for starting us off today. Thats only some of what trump said. He also used deeply negative rhetoric when it comes to migrants and bringing pes lands in. And he talked about Vice President harris, calling her mentally impaired and saying she and her allies should be prosecuted. How is this playing among both democratic and republican operatives and, frankly, voters . For republican voters, i spoke, jonathan, they said, as far as Donald Trump, stay away from politics and focus on policy. Thats what they wanted him to do during the second president ial debate, the first one against Vice President harris a few weeks ago. And the rhetoric this weekend instead suggests that he isnt doing that. Hes only inflaing that language, and i think there is a concern somewhat how this is going to play with moderate Swing Voters in key Voting Demographics like suburban women, for example, who would like to see candidates focus more on policy. For democrats, though, look, it sort of plays into their playbook of Painting Trump as a candidate who isnt addressing these policy concerns many voters have. We know the Harris Campaign has sought to paint trump as the chaos candidate, and we can expect to see the Harris Campaign as well as democratic groups clipping a lot of these Sound Bites from this weekend alone to make that point. Yeah. Well certainly have more on the Immigration Part of this a little later in the show. Julia, lets get your take, your 30,000foot take on the state of the race right now. Polls seem to be depending on which poll youre looking at, harris seems to be up a couple. Harris came out of that Vp Debate with some of that momentum. Do they believe she still has that or has that Cool And Weve settled more or less into a tie . I think weve settled into a tie. Democrats are obviously happy with the Momentum F since she game the presumptive democratic nominee and then formally the democratic nominee earlier this summer. Now theyre trying to heighten those expectations and saying essentially, look, this is going to be razor thin. Not only razor thin nationally, but in a lot of o these key Swing States like pennsylvania. My colleagues spoke with senators on the hill, like Senator Raphael Warnock and senator john fetterman, obviously critical Swing States of georgia and pennsylvania. They said, look, theres a reason we have this margin of error. So democrats not wanting to take anything for granted. Ive heard that from republicans as well. In iran, its four years later, were seeing so many republican earths under former President Trump to push voters to take part in Mailin Voting and early voting because we know trump was deeply skeptical and spoke out against those practices four years ago, but they know how close the margin will be, so theyre trying to tap into this. Both sides are seeing it as razor thin. Before you go, tell us about your report about abortion in the hill. Its going to be key for so many voters. Its the first president ial Election Weve seen since the overturning of roe versus wade, and the conversation since that year, 2022 when it happened, obviously the Blue Wave we saw in those midterm elections, its changed around reproduction rights. We now have in these states a number of measures voters will be voting on at the state level. Major states like florida and nevada, for example. Youve had idf come into the conversation. Youve seen republicans being put on the defensive on this issue. The conversation has changed. Were still seeing republicans trying to, you know, formulate their message around it, but, you know, in terms of it not being the headlines, look, we saoirsing this election seems to be coming down to the economy. But as a number of democrats and Abortion Rights Activists point out to me, its economic issues, so expect that link to be made on the campaign. Yeah. Certainly part of the Vice President s closing arguments. National Politics Reporter for the hill, julia manchester, thanks again.

Vance chose that second spot after winning a coin toss. Lastly the candidates will be given a pen, paper, and a bottle of water. That debate is set to take place in new york. Its the only one between the two of them now. And theres no other debate set. Meanwhile, former republican senator Jeff Flake of arizona endorsed Vice President harris in a statement yesterday. He posted on Social Media in part this. I want to support a president ial candidate who seeks to unite our country rather than one who divides us, one who represents the ideals of a new generation of leadership based not on grievances of the past, but hope for the future. Ive served with kamala in the u. S. Senate. I also served with tim in the house of representatives. I know them. I know firsthand of their fine Character And Love of country. Flake has been a longtime opponent of trump, refusing to support him in 2016 and then endorsing President Biden in 2020. He served as ambassador to turkey in the biden administration, stepping down last month. And he said his experience on the international stage influenced his decision to endorse harris. Yesterday during an appearance of abcs this week, flake encouraged other republicans to also cross the aisle. I think republicans believe in the Rule Of Law in particular, and its difficult to support a candidate who having lost an election tries to use the powers of the presidency to overturn that election. That is Anything But Respect for the Rule Of Law, so i know that a lot of conservative republicans feel the way i do, that you just Cant Support a candidate like that. Next up, well bring you highlights from a busy day in the Sports World including the nfl, and a look at the major League Baseball Playoff picture. Thats Coming Up just ahead. s.

Lateral it. Oh. Key Lee Ringo for two. What a play. Those are just some of the top plays from a Pretty Wild Sunday around the nfl yesterday. Lets go to a couple more games now. To the Los Angeles where the undefeated Kansas City chiefs found themselves in trouble early, finding themselves ten points behind the chargers. But as they always do, the defending Super Bowl champs fought their way back and took the lead in the fourth quarter with this Rushing Touchdown by perrine. They continue to not look impressive as they do it, but they find a way to win week after week, 40. The Buffalo Bills also entered week four undefeated, but they had their hands full against Lamar Jackson and the baltimore ravens. This was the teams first offensive play of the game. Running back Derrick Henry gone, setting a new Flan Chiez records with his 87yard touchdown run, the longest in history. Baltimore never looked back. They blew out the bills, 3510. To be able now, and it should be a dramatic day on the diamond to officially wrap up the regular season. All eyes will be on atlanta, where the braves will welcome in their division rival new York Mets for a Makeup Doubleheader to determine the final two national League Wildcard teams. Both atlanta and new York Need to win just one game each today to punch their tickets to october. So if they split, they both go. But if either team sweeps the doubleheader, it will be the Arizona Diamondbacks moving on. And whatever team loses both teams today, going home for the winter. Whichever two teams survive will have a quick turnaround with a fullfledged play starting tomorrow. The Detroit Tigers and Kansas City royals also confirmed their spots over the
