THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
[06:30:00]
BRETT MCGURK, CNN GLOBAL AFFAIRS ANALYST: Worker strike. The Israelis target an Iranian commander, a Revolutionary Guards commander, who was coordinated a Hamas -- the Hezbollah attacks in Damascus. And then Iran, in response to that, is preparing this massive missile attack, which from the numbers we were seeing, if the missiles got through, could kill scores of Israelis, hundreds of Israelis.
AUDIE CORNISH, CNN ANCHOR: Do you think, no matter what, no matter what administration was in charge, we were, in fact, hurtling towards a confrontation with Iran?
MCGURK: Well, Iran made decisions throughout them. I mean, I document -- everybody here is making decisions. We're making decisions in uncertainty and ambiguity. Netanyahu is making decisions. Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, is making decisions. Sinwar, who's holding the hostages, is making decisions. Khamenei, in Tehran, is making decisions about how to react. And the Iranians, at a number of points, I describe my own diplomacy with them, chose to kind of escalate at very bad times. And then the Israelis -- and it kind of got into this tit-for-tat.
I think we could have contained it. And one of the stories in the book is how, at critical moment, including this moment, we did contain it because, in fact, the key point of that call, the president said to Biden, I'm going to help defend you. OK. And we sent U.S. military forces to help defend Israel, really for the first time. And we did help defeat that attack. If you read the book, you're right there.
And then the president says to Netanyahu, I can't -- I can't quote it here because it's colorful language. But he says, look, we just helped defend you. Let's get back to this deal. The ceasefire hostage deal. And within a month, we had a deal on the table. It went very far in the direction of Hamas. We put that out at the end of May. The Israelis said, yes.
And then, you know, Hamas, as they do, they didn't answer for five weeks. And you're in this negotiation trying to save a -- get the hostages out, which was intertwined, Audie, with ending the war. You get a ceasefire. The two were linked.
So, that's the -- that's the story. You know, how do you use the private pressure, its leverage power incentives with all these different actors to try to bring this horrific tragedy that Hamas started three years ago today as we're sitting here at this hour to a close.
CORNISH: OK. Well, I hope everyone takes a read. It is very good. It's called "Brink: Inside the Race to Free the October 7th Hostages."
Brett McGurk, thank you so much for being here.
MCGURK: Thank you so much.
CORNISH: Straight ahead on CNN THIS MORNING, we're going to continue to talk about that war in Gaza and support for Israel, a major contributing factor to the Kamala Harris presidential loss in 2024. Now, if she wants to run in 2028, does she still have to overcome those lingering issues?
And later on CNN, Trump says he wants to help Chicago, where he claims crime is getting worse by the day. And, of course, Chicago's mayor, Brandon Johnson, is going to be on CNN in the next hour to talk about whether or not he'll take Trump up on that offer.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
[06:37:26]
CORNISH: President Trump going back to Texas today to stump for Ken Paxton. He's locked in a tight race with Democrat James Talarico for the Senate seat. A "New York Times"/Siena poll has Paxton trailing Talarico by six points. The two were tied in that same poll back in June.
So, it's races like this one that are showing how vulnerable Republicans can be in traditionally red states. And one reason could be rural voters.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Donald Trump, since he's been president, has not made my life any easier. As a matter of fact, Donald Trump has made my life harder.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I can't stand to give another Republican, that supports this administration, another vote. There is nothing that was campaigned on that is being delivered.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We're dying out here and most of us, we feel as if you really don't give a (EXPLETIVE DELETED). And you're listening to too many of these allies. And honestly, they don't give a (EXPLETIVE DELETED) about us.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CORNISH: CNN senior political analyst Ron Brownstein joins the chat.
So, you and I have talked in the past about the mythical swing voter, right?
RON BROWNSTEIN, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL ANALYST: Yes. Right.
CORNISH: And we discovered they don't necessarily swing red to blue. They often swing couch to ballot box.
BROWNSTEIN: Right.
CORNISH: So, when you hear people talk specifically in this way, I am mad --
BROWNSTEIN: Yes.
CORNISH: Does that mean they are voting?
BROWNSTEIN: Anger usually -- anger usually is a sign of voting, right? I mean, what -- the map in this election is being shaped by not only the depth of Trump's decline. You had that chart up before about how much lower his approval rating is than other presidents who had bad midterms. But it's the breadth of the decline. To a greater extent than in 2018. He has not only lost ground among the groups that moved toward him in '24, which was like Latinos, young men, the broader universe of non-college, non-white voters.
He is losing ground to a greater extent than in 2018 among his core groups. Like even in 2018, in the exit poll, his approval rating among non-college whites, the absolute core of his coalition, right, he's won two-thirds of them in all three of his races. And in 2018, his approval rating among them was 61 percent.
Now, in almost every national poll, it's down to 50/50. It was down to 50/50 in those polls last week and -- you know, from "The New York Times"/Siena in Ohio, Iowa and Kansas. And the same thing with rural. I mean, you know, because -- because of the unique stresses they are facing. You know, diesel prices have --
CORNISH: But can I be skeptical for a second?
BROWNSTEIN: Yes.
CORNISH: We've got a lot of people coming on TV and saying, look, the map is leaning Democrat.
BROWNSTEIN: Yes.
CORNISH: Look, it's -- these are all red states.
BROWNSTEIN: Right. That's right.
CORNISH: These are states where he won by double digits.
BROWNSTEIN: So -- right. So, the core question --
CORNISH: So, are we building up --
[06:40:00] BROWNSTEIN: Yes.
CORNISH: Anticipation here unduly?
BROWNSTEIN: The connect -- the last piece of the connection has not been made. Democrats have not been sufficiently able to convert discontent with Trump into support for them, particularly in red states. They are not winning as many voters who disapprove of Trump as they did in 2018 and 2020.
In 2018 and 2020, they were usually winning 89, 90 percent, even into the low 90s among people who disapprove of Trump. Now they're in the low 80s.
He is unpopular enough in some places that's going to be plenty to win. But you're probably going to need a little more than that in some of these very red states. Yes, Democrats have to worry about reversion to the mean in places that are so red in their DNA, but it is the fact of the breadth of Trump's decline that it is -- that it is -- that it has bled into core pieces of his coalition that allows us to be talking about so many states that he won by double digits, which we never thought we would.
CORNISH: And we've been -- spent all morning, yes, talking about the Senate. It's also happening in governor's races. Texas --
BROWNSTEIN: And the House.
CORNISH: Yes, Texas races. The Texas governor's race is fairly close. And Abbott will not be at this Trump rally today.
BROWNSTEIN: No.
ANTJUAN SEAWRIGHT, DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST: Ron, here's what I would tell you. I've learned this -- I think we learned this in 2024, Democrats, in elections, people sometimes vote against something than they do for something. There's this big argument, Democrats are not winning over these voters. I agree with that. But there are times in American politics where the voters have been so pissed off and outraged where they vote against the people in charge. I think we're going to see that this cycle.
The other factor I don't think that's being talked about enough is the fact that Democrats are starting to gain the politically unhoused or the politically homeless. People who wandered to Trump because they did not find a home under the connective tissue to government. Those people are starting to find their relevance and voting, and they're drifting our way. More and more people -- I'll make this point end -- more and more people are finding themselves to be independent thinkers and independent voters. And I think that is part of the reason why you see the map changing away.
TERRY SCHILLING, PRESIDENT, AMERICAN PRINCIPLES PROJECT: I just think it all falls apart for Democrats because they're not going to be able to actually deliver on making the country better, making the economy better for working families and young people. They're going to promise the moon, they're going to promise the stars and the sun, but they're not going to be able to deliver.
What -- Ron and I were talking about this in the green room.
BROWNSTEIN: Yes.
SCHILLING: The country is going to keep going back and forth between the two parties until one party solves the economy for working families and young people. The median age -- I cannot repeat this enough -- the median age for a first time home buyer is 40 years old. That's disgusting.
CORNISH: And they're facing a seven percent fixed mortgage rate right now.
BROWNSTEIN: No president has gone into a midterm with unified control of government, the House and the Senate, and come out of it with unified control of government since Jimmy Carter in 1978.
CORNISH: I think one thing I'm wrestling with, though, is at the end of the day, Republicans got control of government. They got --
SCHILLING: They did.
CORNISH:
BROWNSTEIN: Yes.
CORNISH: No, stop, stop.
SCHILLING: Three branches.
CORNISH: I just want to say this full sentence. They got the full control. And they were able to make good on every mandate they ever -- they wanted. Russell Vought, for example, has gutted government in all kinds of ways. Pete Hegseth has reformed our military. Everything about this to me feels like it is, in fact, a referendum --
BROWNSTEIN: Yes.
CORNISH: On what that experience has been like for Americans.
BROWNSTEIN: Yes. And, you know, as you were talking about in one of your earlier segments, Republicans, in the final weeks, will try to shift the focus forward to, like, do you think Democrats --
CORNISH: What it could be.
BROWNSTEIN: What it could be. Are they going to raise your taxes? They're going to -- they're going to open the border. But, traditionally, midterms are a referendum on the party in power. And as I say, when the parties have had unified control, you know, whether it was Biden in '22, Trump in '18, Obama in '10, Bush in '06, Clinton in '94, they all lost it.
And, you know, there's a -- there's a reason for that. And I think -- I think it's largely the reason that Terry said, that people don't see them solving the long term problems, but also they have all, in different ways, overreached in those first two years.
CORNISH: Overreached.
BROWNSTEIN: And what you're seeing now is people saying, whoa, you know, yes, I wanted a tough on trade policy, but I didn't necessarily want my groceries costing this much more. I wanted the border control. I did not necessarily want ICE shooting people in the streets of Minneapolis.
So, that --
CORNISH: Which is different from saying, you didn't do this or you didn't do that.
BROWNSTEIN: What you said. Yes.
CORNISH: You did what you said, but now we are making a new decision.
BROWNSTEIN: And by the way, the one thing that's really unique about this election is that Republican fingerprints are on the economic discontent to a greater extent than usual, right?
SEAWRIGHT: Yes. Yes.
BROWNSTEIN: It's not just proximity. Presidents are often punished for proximity. They're in office when people are unhappy about the economy. That's not what's happening now.
SEAWRIGHT: Yes.
BROWNSTEIN: People attribute the bad economy, specifically -- or their strain, their economic struggle, to specific choices he's made on tariffs and the war above all. And not only the choices that Trump made, but that Republicans in Congress repeatedly personally voted for.
SEAWRIGHT: They --
BROWNSTEIN: And that's different, I think, than 1994 to 2010.
CORNISH: OK, Ron jumping in the chat with a bunch of emojis coming in hot. Thank you for being here.
BROWNSTEIN: Yes, thank you.
CORNISH: We'll be talking to you soon.
Next on CNN, we are going to talk about how Republicans should deal with a state like South Carolina. Trump is heading that way. So, can you solve these problems by pouring more money into these races?
[06:45:00]
Plus, Democrats are planning a post-midterm meeting about the 2028 race. What the guest list suggests about the path forward.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
CORNISH: All right, how do we know Republicans are nervous? Because of where they are spending. They're sending reinforcements to usually reliable red states such as South Carolina. The party's main super PAC ponying up $5 million to bolster Senate candidate Darline Graham, the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. President Trump also plans to visit South Carolina to prop up that candidacy, which was damaged by this primary debate gaffe. This was back in August.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security issues for the United States? And if so, why or how?
DARLINE GRAHAM (R), SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE CANDIDATE: I'm just going to be honest here. I'm not, on national security, that -- I'm not that informed on national security. So -- but I do support the military.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
[06:50:05]
CORNISH: OK, does it mean anything that they've got to start spending a ton of money there?
SCHILLING: Yes. Look, this is -- we've said this time and again, this is a challenging year for Republicans. Every midterm after a presidential is going to be a check on the president's power. This is a brand-new candidate who voters really don't know much about.
I will just say, I found that response in the debate, and I know I'm going to get grief on this panel, it's affable. I mean, that is actually appealing to the vast majority of actual normal American voters. They don't know what's going on in the South China Sea. They expect their senators to. But they support our military. They want America to be strong. And I just don't think it was that big of a gaffe.
CORNISH: And her overall argument has been, I'm not a career politician.
JULIA MANCHESTER, WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, "THE HILL": Yes.
SEAWRIGHT: Yes.
CORNISH: And so that's part of the pitch. Does that work when it's baked in?
MANCHESTER: You know, look, I think it works with her base. Maybe some swing voters. I don't know necessarily if that clip, though, is going to be the deciding factor in this race at the end of the day.
CORNISH: No.
MANCHESTER: I did find it interesting that the other night, as President Trump was on his way to Nebraska, another red state to campaign in, he put out a very visceral, anti-trans slur against Annie Andrews. I think as someone who covers Trump, that raises my eyebrows because it shows that this is where his attention is focused on.
But, you know, South Carolina, like we said, it's one of a number of red states he's visiting. He's also going, I would say, this weekend to the Alabama-Georgia football game. I think, in a way, that itself is a bit of a campaign stop to rev up the red base as well.
CORNISH: Yes.
BROWNSTEIN: Yes. Yes.
CORNISH: All right. Well, then let me add this because we've talked about Republicans this whole time, and we got to talk about the Democrats because the way -- my reporting over the, you know, decades is that once someone wins in a big red state who's a Democrat, there turns into a lot of whispering about like he's running. And it turns -- and I said "he" on purpose.
BROWNSTEIN: Yes.
CORNISH: CNN has learned that a group of high-profile Democrats and some potential contenders are going to meet in Denver. And they're going to do this, like, right after the midterms are finished. Who's on the guest list? Governors Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey, Abigail Spanberger of Virginia, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Senators Ruben Gallego of Arizona, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Raphael Warnock of Georgia, Elissa Slotkin of Michigan. I'm still going. Former U.S. ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emanuel.
BROWNSTEIN: Yes.
CORNISH: All right.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
RAHM EMANUEL, FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR TO JAPAN: Do we have a brand problem? Yes, we have a brand problem. We have to prove that we cannot just fight Donald Trump, but we can fight for America. And that's something the Democrats have to prove, because for the last 12 years, Donald -- we've allowed Donald Trump to occupy the frontal lobe of our brain. And that's just not good enough. The American people, and their future, should be what occupies our focus and our attention.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CORNISH: So, our potential 2028 nominee not in the Denver lineup, Kamala Harris, the former vice president, saying she's leaving the door open for another run. But according to "The Washington Post," that has some in the party very nervous. "The Post" is reporting that "the concern is not simply that Harris could lose again, it is that her candidacy could pull Democrats back towards a painful political era before they had fully reckoned with what happened and how to move beyond it."
Let me start with you, because I know you know all these people, Antjuan. How do you kick off the new brand if you're still thinking about the old one?
SEAWRIGHT: Well, you don't. We can have -- you can have two things to be true. You can have a little hip hop and R&B. You can have a little country and a little rock and roll.
CORNISH: I knew you were going to (INAUDIBLE).
SEAWRIGHT: I think -- I think -- I think that's what you're going to see in this gather. But I think that two things happen with elections. You either win or you learn. Sometimes when we lose --
CORNISH: Did you learn?
SEAWRIGHT: Sometimes when we lose, we don't always win as Democrats. So, these type gatherings that are happening, this will not be in isolation. Our people are trying to learn, how do we have an answer for going forward to expanding the traditional Democratic coalition?
CORNISH: Yes.
SEAWRIGHT: Because more and more people are starting to think about politics --
CORNISH: Is this a do over from the infamous lack of some kind of choosing after Biden?
BROWNSTEIN: This seems to me an echo of what the Democratic Leadership Council did in the '80s that ultimately led to Bill Clinton, where it was originally started by Democrats from the redder parts of the country, the south and the west --
SEAWRIGHT: The south. That's the key point.
BROWNSTEIN: The south particularly. Chuck Robb, Sam Nunn, Dick Gephardt at that point. And basically trying to promote the more center -- centrist elements of the party, or at least the parts who believe that you have to appeal as broadly as possible.
I think there is going to be a tremendous desire among Democrats to turn the page, generationally above all.
CORNISH: Yes.
BROWNSTEIN: I'm not sure how the ideological fight canes (ph) out --
CORNISH: No, I don't either. I want to play this.
BROWNSTEIN: But the generational fight I think is going to be very clear. It's going to be -- Democrats are going to want a younger generation of leadership. And Harris is going to have, if she does run, she has a lot of assets. But the tie back to a period that Democrats feel failed in so many ways, including leading to the second Trump term, it's going to be really hard for her.
CORNISH: Or just the difficulty with certain parts of the coalition.
SEAWRIGHT: Yes, but --
CORNISH: Here's Charles Barkley. I want to play him because I think of him kind of like, this is the (INAUDIBLE) vote, right? This is, when we talk about Latino male voters, when we talk about some black men voters who had a lot of questions for Democrats, here is him on Chris Cuomo's show when asked about Kamala Harris running again.
[06:55:05]
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CHARLES BARKLEY, FORMER NBA PLAYER/ANALYST, "INSIDE THE NBA"): Kamala Harris is a nice lady. She can't be president. We got to come up with a real candidate or we're going to lose again. Like, I don't know who they're going to run, whether it's Marco Rubio, whether it's J.D. or whoever.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CORNISH: That voter is a real voter that has to be won over.
MANCHESTER: Absolutely. I thought actually, in the inclusion of all of those figures at the summit, or who is going to be at this --
CORNISH: You want me to put up that image of thousands --
MANCHESTER: If you -- yes, thousands. But I thought Governors Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill were very interesting.
I don't think, and never say never, but I don't think they're necessarily top of our mind for 2028 contenders. However, I think in many ways those two women played a big role in creating the Democratic message platform on affordability.
SEAWRIGHT: There you go. They won on a centrist argument called affordability. And they are going to be the faces of how we talk about messaging and what messaging looks like going forward. And I think that's what this gathering is all about.
But I'll tell you what, for everybody that's counting out a black woman, in this case, I have learned not to do that because they always come around and teach them, they do not know how to count.
CORNISH: Yes. Because I do have to tell you, sometimes --
SEAWRIGHT: The base of the nominee -- the base of our party's nominee --
BROWNSTEIN: Yes.
SEAWRIGHT: Will be African American. They have to win over black voters.
BROWNSTEIN: As Bakari Sellers says, my grandmother picks the nominee, right? That's what he says. CORNISH: But lets look at that picture again. Let's look at the image
there of what we've got. I just see Raphael Warnock there having -- interjecting that --
SCHILLING: And he's not a serious candidate. He's not going to be a serious candidate.
CORNISH: I don't think he's a candidate. These are the people who, though, are trying to shape, trying to have a conversation about what's next.
SCHILLING: Here --
CORNISH: Rahm Emanuel likes to talk about Israel all the time. You've got Ruben Gallego, someone who won in a place like Arizona. Pete Buttigieg, you can get him at your, you know, if you have a birthday party and you're a Republican because he will go and talk there.
SCHILLING: I just think that the Democrats are going to run into a major roadblock, Audie, because their affordability agenda is going to come into serious conflict with their climate change agenda. You can't have both. You can't have low energy and affordability and lower carbon emissions. It's just not getting to happen.
CORNISH: I feel like I'm getting a preview of the messaging here.
(CROSS TALK)
CORNISH: I didn't know climate change was the --
(CROSS TALK)
SCHILLING: Here's what $7 a gallon is the plan for Democrats.
SEAWRIGHT: Here's where Terry's -- here's where Terry's reality is disconnected.
SCHILLING: Where?
SEAWRIGHT: Utility prices increased under Trump. Groceries. Gas.
SCHILLING: Because of energy prices.
SEAWRIGHT: Groceries. Gas. Everything you can think about that you need for survival.
SCHILLING: Right. So, that's because of the Iran War.
SEAWRIGHT: Has been -- has increased because of Donald Trump.
SCHILLING: And guess what's going to happen when we have carbon taxes.
SEAWRIGHT: And that has zero to do with what our nominee is going to be.
CORNISH: All right, you guys, let me let our guests get a word in. (CROSS TALK)
SCHILLING: We cannot (ph) wait for your carbon taxes and (INAUDIBLE) the fuel taxes. It's going to awesome.
CORNISH: Yes.
BROWNSTEIN: One point about 2028, amid everything else that the Democratic National Committee has gotten wrong, and all the criticism of Ken Martin, there is broad agreement -- they've produced a calendar that gives them a much better chance of generating --
CORNISH: Meaning which states will come first in their primaries.
BROWNSTEIN: Which states in South Carolina, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico --
SEAWRIGHT: Michigan.
BROWNSTEIN: Michigan, Virginia gives them a much better chance of having a nominee with broad appeal than the existing calendar.
CORNISH: Because it's --
SEAWRIGHT: There's room (ph) in black.
BROWNSTEIN: And --
CORNISH: Well, Latino and regional and rural.
BROWNSTEIN: And small and big. And they really have set up I -- what I think most Democrats think is a really good test, much better than what they've had, you know, when Iowa and New Hampshire in particular were dominating.
And so, it is going to be -- I mean, you know, if you think about -- if you think about the Senate, I mean I think the ideological fight is going to be real and there's not -- there's no guaranteed winner between left and center.
CORNISH: Yes, because we didn't talk about any Democratic socialist participation in that meet (ph).
BROWNSTEIN: But there is --
SEAWRIGHT: Well --
CORNISH: Will there be any?
SEAWRIGHT: I don't -- I don't think so.
BROWNSTEIN: Not there.
CORNISH: OK.
SEAWRIGHT: I don't think so. But let me -- CORNISH: Well, even just --
SEAWRIGHT: Let me also tell you what's going to be very important about the 2028 nomination process.
BROWNSTEIN: Yes.
SEAWRIGHT: A battle tested leader.
BROWNSTEIN: Yes.
SEAWRIGHT: Someone who's had their hood checked and their tires kicked. Not many people can say that from a national perspective who are trying to get into the game.
CORNISH: But, Antjuan, can I just put out that what we learned from the primary season is, there is a Democratic voter who is willing to kick the tires of someone who is not from -- and I'm going to say this word -- the establishment. That is not going to be the output and outcome of a meeting like that one where people sit around a conference table and choose.
BROWNSTEIN: But neither side -- you know, if you go through the primaries and neither side decisively beat the other, right?
CORNISH: Yes.
BROWNSTEIN: I mean the left had its victories and the center had his victories. And that's why I say, I think that fight is TBD how that comes out.
But the desire for generational change, I think, is beyond TBD.
SCHILLING: And that's --
CORNISH: Julie, we're getting towards the end. I have to let her get a word in edgewise. I'm sorry. Yes, tell me.
MANCHESTER: Yes. No, no, I was going to say, I am curious, though, depending on the outcome in Michigan, in that Senate race, you know, if Abdul El-Sayed wins, does that candidate get a seat at the table or does a DSA person get a seat at the table?
CORNISH: Or does it create momentum for that movement rather than extinguish it?
MANCHESTER: Yes. Absolutely right.
CORNISH: OK, you guys, because you're friends, I know you're going to split the group chat time.
Go.
SCHILLING: The Zach Lahn debate and Rob Sand in Iowa, I love what they're doing. Four total debates in Iowa, which is beautiful. It's so rare to see. [07:00:01]
But it gives a level playing field. I love Zach Lahn. He's so pro- family. He's fighting big ag in Iowa, which is crazy.
CORNISH: Don't advertise, but the debate is what we're going to do.
SCHILLING: All right.
CORNISH: Antjuan.
SEAWRIGHT: (INAUDIBLE) Donald Trump's diesel costs -- drive up the diesel costs. Donald has given school busses around the country cutting routes and not having to travel because school districts cannot afford it. Gas prices are --
CORNISH: And there's a driver shortage, which I just learned about.
Thank you, guys, for being in the group chat. Thank you for waking up with us. "CNN NEWS CENTRAL" is next.
