WELL, EXPERTS SAY IS WE'VE BEEN SAYING, THESE TEMPERATURES ARE COMING ON EARLIER IN THE SEASON THAN NORMAL, BEFORE AMERICANS REALLY HAD TIME TO ADJUST TO THE CHANGE. IT HAS BEEN MORE GRADUAL.

DONALD TRUMP BLASTING PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR HIS ROLE FOR SIGNING A BILL THAT CONTRIBUTED TO MASS INCARCERATION. THE UNSUCCESSFUL RAIDS AGAINST PRESIDENT BIDEN IN 2020. >> THEY WROTE THE 1994 BILL THAT YOU TALK ABOUT SO MUCH, I GUESS EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS ABOUT THAT. ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE BLACK. >> Reporter: A WARNING SIGN FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN, HE IS STRUGGLING TO MEET THE MASSIVE MARGIN WITH BLACK VOTERS. NOW DOWN TO AROUND 55% SUPPORT COMPARED TO 15% OR LESS, THE FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IN THOSE DATES. THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN CRITICIZING MR. TRUMP SAYING HE HAS A RECORD OF -- TODAY IN A NEW AD, SIGNALING A PLAN FOR THE CONVICTION. >> A CONVICTED CRIMINAL WAS ONLY OUT FOR HIMSELF, AND A PRESIDENT WAS FIGHTING FOR YOUR FAMILY. >> Reporter: THE SHARK ATTACKS ECHOED AT A FUNDRAISER SATURDAY AS THE PRESIDENT WARNED WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO THE SUPREME COURT IF MR. DONALD TRUMP WINS AGAIN. >> THE SUPREME COURT HAS NEVER BEEN AS OUT OF KILLED HER AS IT IS TODAY. >> WE WANT TO THANK OUR FRIEND HALLIE JACKSON FOR THAT. MICHAEL STONE HOPKINS, HE IS A DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST, THE PRESIDENT OF NORTHERN STAR STRATEGIES HE IS A REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST AND FORMER CAMPAIGN SPOKESPERSON. WE THANK YOU BOTH FOR JOINING TOP STORIES TONIGH . SO, LET'S START WITH THE POLL THAT HALLEY MENTIONED IN HER PIECE. IT SHOWS BIDEN WINNING, 92% OF BLACK VOTERS IN PENNSYLVANIA AND MICHIGAN, THAT'S 2020. BUT THIS YEAR, BIDEN IS ONLY PULLING FAVORABLY AT AROUND 55%, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. YOU ALSO WANT TO SHOW SOMETHING ELSE, THIS IS HOW CLOSE THE MATCHUPS WERE IN 2020 AND BOTH OF THOSE STATES IN PENNSYLVANIA AND ALSO IN MICHIGAN. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PERCENTAGES HERE IN THE CASE OF PENNSYLVANIA. EVEN LESS THAN A PERCENTAGE POINT IN SOME REGARDS IN SOME COUNTIES. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS HOW BIG OF A PROBLEM IS PRESIDENT BIDEN RIGHT NOW? >> NEITHER PARTY SHOULD HAVE A MONOPOLY ON THE BLACK VOTE. DEMOCRATS ARE MAKING THE CONCERTED EFFORT TO RECRUIT AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTERS, RECRUIT AFRICAN-AMERICAN POLITICIANS AND REALLY EARN THE VOTE AND WHAT WE ARE SEEING FROM REPUBLICANS IS DONALD TRUMP COME IN AND JUST -- NOT JUST INSULT BLACK VOTERS BUT MOCK THE STRUGGLES WE'VE GONE THROUGH. WHEN YOU HAVE POTENTIALLY TWO TO THREE JUSTICES UP IN THE NEXT TERM, WHEN YOU HAVE CLARENCE THOMAS TALKING ABOUT ROLLING BACK PROTECTIONS AND DESEGREGATION, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY GOING TO BRING AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTERS OUT. >> I APPRECIATE YOU GIVING US SOME SOLUTION, I'M ASKING YOU ABOUT THE PROBLEM, HOW DID THE DEMOCRATS GET HERE ACCORDING TO THIS POLL? >> IT CAME FROM A LOT OF MISINFORMATION AND DISINFORMATION FROM REPUBLICANS. I THINK YOU'RE SEEING A LOT OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEN BE REALLY DISENCHANTED WITH THE SYSTEM IN GENERAL. YOU'RE SEEING AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN OUTPACE AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEN IN TERMS OF THE JOB RATE, IN TERMS OF THE MONEY THAT THEY BRING HOME FOR WORK. THAT'S FOR YOUR SEEING THE FRUSTRATION AMONG AFRICAN- AMERICAN MEN BUT THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. THE STRUGGLE IS WHETHER THEY, TO SUPPORT PRESIDENT BIDEN OR WHETHER THEY STAY HOME. WE DIG A LITTLE DEEPER INTO THE NUMBERS. THE DEMOCRATS ARE REALLY HURTING IS WITH BLACK VOTERS UNDER THE AGE OF 50, WHITEY THINK THAT IS? >> THINK THERE IS A LOT OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTERS WHO ARE YOUNGER WHO CAME OF AGE DURING BARACK OBAMA OR CAME OF AGE DURING DONALD TRUMP AND REALLY DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS LIKE PRE-BARACK OBAMA, DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE PRIOR TO THE CHAOS OF DONALD TRUMP. AS YOU SEE NEW VOTERS COMING TO THE POLLS, WE HAVE TO REMIND THEM JUST HOW BAD IT WAS UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP. JUST HOW LUDICROUS THE STATEMENTS HE MADE ABOUT SUPPORTING PEOPLE IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, AFRICAN AMERICAN CITIES ARE WASTELANDS, THINGS THAT ARE JUST, NOT JUST UNPOPULAR BUT REALLY RACIST AND RACIALLY TONED. >> YOUR REACTION TO THAT? >> THE COST OF LIVING INCREASES GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY WITH JOE BIDEN IS NOT MISS INFORMATION, YOU TALK TO ANYBODY OUT THERE, BLACK, WHITE, HISPANIC, YOU NAME IT, THEY'RE ALL DEALING WITH THIS COST-OF-LIVING PROBLEM. THE BORDER PROBLEM IS NOT MISINFORMATION. IT IS LEADING TO FENNEL POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY, CRIME IN OUR CITIES. THIS IS AN MISINFORMATION, THESE ARE THE ISSUES THAT EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN ARE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW AND IT'S ALL UNDER JOE BIDEN. NO WONDER YOU'RE SEEING THESE NUMBERS. VIRGINIA IS NOW COMPETITIVE. WE HAVE SEEN NUMBERS ON THAT. NEVADA, TRUMP IS WINNING. I KNOW IT IS IOWA, BUT WE SAW A 20 POINT BELTER IN IOWA, WISCONSIN, MINNESOTA AND OTHER STATES, BETTER WATCH OUT. IF I AM THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN I'M NOT LOVING WHAT I'M SEEING. >> I GET YOUR POINT, I DO WANT TO WORD A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE NEW CAMPAIGN ATTACK AD THAT WE SAW AND GET YOUR TAKE ON THE FLIPSIDE. LET'S PLAY IT. >> IN THE COURTROOM, WE SEE DONALD TRUMP FOR WHO HE IS, HE HAS BEEN CONVICTED FOR 34 FELONIES, FOUND LIABLE FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT, AND HE COMMITTED FINANCIAL FRAUD. MEANWHILE JOE BIDEN HAS BEEN WORKING, LOWERING HEALTHCARE COSTS AND MAKING BIG CORPORATIONS PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE. THIS ELECTION IS BETWEEN A CONVICTED CRIMINAL WAS ONLY OUT FOR HIELF AND A PRESIDENT WHO IS FIGHTING FOR YOUR FAMILY. >> SO, THE INITIAL REPORTING THE CABLE AFTER THE CONVICTION WAS THAT I GUESS IS BEEN MIXED, BUT THERE WAS SOME REPORTING THAT THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN WAS GOING TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS THEY WEREN'T GOING TO GO ALL IN ON THIS AND YET IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, MAYBE AND NOW THIS AD COMES OUT. THE STRATEGY IS CLEAR. TO THINK THIS IS SMART? >> DONALD TRUMP IS A CRIMINAL, HE IS A 30 FOUR-TIME CONVICTED FELON AND THAT SOMETHING THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO TALK ABOUT. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION PUT AN ATTACK ON HOW MUCH INFLUENCE COULD BE CHARGED WHICH HELPS AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITIES. THERE IS A CLEAR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN AND THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. THAT CROWD IN THAT CHURCH. >> THAT IS NEXT THURSDAY AND THEY OPENED THAT DOOR. YOU HAVE TO ASSUME THAT THEY'RE GOING TO ATTACK HUNTER BIDEN. B TAKE A MOMENT ANYTHING ABOUT THAT STRATEGY THE MORE TIME THEY TALK ABOUT WHO IS THE BIGGER CRIMINAL, IT'S LESS TIME TALKING ABOUT IMMIGRATION LESS TIME TALKING ABOUT THE ECONOMY. >> LOOK, YOU NOTED THIS. THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT GOING TO BRING UP THE CONVICTION. IT KIND OF REEKS OF DESPERATION BECAUSE THEY TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE. THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN OVER $100 MILLION AND WHAT DID WE SEE? WE'VE SEEN AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTERS, STATES LIKE VIRGINIA BECOMING COMPETITIVE. THIS REEKS OF A LITTLE BIT OF DESPERATION AND TRYING TO SAY THAT WELL, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN GOOD IT'S JUST NOT THE MIND-SET OF VOTERS RIGHT NOW. DONALD TRUMP IS SAYING HEY, THINGS ARE A MESS, THE BORDER IS A MESS. THAT'S CLEARLY WHAT IS RESONATING TODAY. >> AFTER THE CONVICTIONS THIS EARLY IN RIGHT NOW? >> DONALD TRUMP TRY TO CONVINCE AMERICANS OF BLACK VOTERS WOULD SUPPORT HIM BECAUSE SOMEHOW THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP BEING A CONVICT AND CRIME AMONG BLACK VOTERS. WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS PROOF THAT DONALD TRUMP NOT ONLY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND BLACK VOTERS BUT DOESN'T CARE TO. THE ONLY BLACK PEOPLE HE CAN PUT IN FRONT OF A CAMERA TO SUPPORT IT, -- >> WHAT YOU THINK THE STRATEGY IS GOING TO BE GOING INTO THIS? >> IS GOING TO MAKE A CASE OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC OF WHY WE ARE BETTER NOW AND WE WERE IN A FREEFALL. >> I HAVE TO ASK YOU, LANCE. TO THINK THAT HEADING INTO THIS DEBATE THAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS MADE A MISTAKE BY PUTTING THE BAR SO LOW. >> I THINK THIS DEBATE IS GOING TO COME DOWN TO THE ISSUE THAT YOU WERE SAYING. WHAT DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO SAY, TO GO FORWARD WE NEED TO LOOK TO WHEN I WAS PRESENT. WOULDN'T HAVE INFLATION THAT WAS OVER 20%. WE DIDN'T HAVE A BORDER THAT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL. THOSE ARE THE THINGS ARE PROBABLY GOING TO HEAR HIM TALKING ABOUT. I REALLY APPRECIATED THIS CONVERSATION. PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU TODAY AFTER A PROMINENT MEMBER RESIGNED. ISRAEL'S MILITARY ANNOUNCED THE TACTICAL PAUSE TO ALLOW MORE AID TO GAZA. NBC INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT REPORTS. >> Reporter: THIS COULD BE THE RELIEF STARVING PEOPLE OFTEN WAITING FOR. HUNDREDS OF TRUCKS LOADING FOOD AID. FOR 11 HOURS EACH AY STARTING SATURDAY, ISRAEL HAS PLEDGED TO STOP FIGHTING ON A ROADWAY CROSSING DEEPER INTO GAZA. THIS NEW INITIATIVE BEGAN ON SATURDAY ALLOWING THESE NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS TO MOVE ON THE ROAD WITHOUT -- THIS GIVES A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY AND WE HOPE TO SEE THE AIDE MAKING ITS WAY TO THE HUMANITARIAN AID. >> AID WORKERS HAVE BEEN IN DIRE NEED OF PROTECTION. THE GAZA STRIP IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE FOR THEM IN THE WORLD. AT LEAST 250 HAVE BEEN KILLED THERE IN EIGHT MONTHS OF WAR. THIS TACTICAL PAUSES WAS HELP THIS MUCH-NEEDED FOOD AID GET INTO THE GAZA STRIP. THE ANNOUNCEMENT CAUSED CONFUSION. >> RIGHT-WING POLITICIANS BLASTED THE DECISION. WHOEVER MADE IT IS A FOOL AND SHOULD NO LONGER BE IN HIS JOB. >> IT MADE A LITTLE CONFUSION. >> ISRAELI OFFICIALS SAID THAT WHEN HE HEARD ABOUT THE PAUSES THIS MORNING HE CALLED THEM UNACCEPTABLE. THEY WARNED THAT LAST WEEK THEY FACE FAMINE LIKE CONDITIONS. CHILDREN ARE BEARING THE BRUNT, THEY SAID YESTERDAY THAT 32 PEOPLE HAD DIED OF STARVATION NEARLY ALL OF THEM -- THIS MOTHER SAID HER BABIES SON IS DESPERATE. OTHER DISEASES AND WOUNDS OF WAR. A SERIOUS RASH IN ADDITION TO MALNUTRITION. IF IT IS THE TRAGEDIES IN GAZA, THE U.S. IS STRUGGLING TO QUIET A SECOND FRONT. A SENIOR U.S. DIPLOMAT MET WITH LEADERS TODAY TO TRY TO PREVENT A FULL ON WAR. A WAR THERE COULD ENVELOP THE ENTIRE REGION SPREADING CIVILIAN SUFFERING FAR BEYOND ISRAEL'S BORDERS. >> Reporter: THE GOVERNANCE OF THE WAR SEEMS TO BE CHANGING VERY FAST. PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU DECIDED TO HOLD THAT THE WAR CABINETS THAT I'VE BEEN MAKING DAY-TO-DAY DECISIONS OF HOW THE WAR IS CONDUCTED, THEY'RE GOING TO RELY ON A CONSULT OF BODY TO TAKE PLACE. ABOUT A WEEK AGO DECIDED TO RESIGN IN PROTEST. A SEA OF CONSERVATIVES, NOW LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY PERSON, THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT BENJAMIN NETANYAHU IS GOING TO BE FACING WHEN HE COVERS -- GOVERNS WAR OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE'S. >>> U.S. WEAPONS NOW IN THE HANDS OF UKRAINIAN TROOPS, IT COMES AS RUSSIA RAMPS UP THE WAR EFFORTS, GLIDE BOMBS THAT -- SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE ARE DISTURBING. >> Reporter: AMERICAN WEAPONS ARE FLOWING AGAIN AND UKRAINIAN TROOPS TELL US THEIR ARRIVING JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME. >> AMERICAN WEAPONS INCLUDING THESE TANKS ARE NOW FINALLY MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE FRONT LINE. IT'S MAKING A DIFFERENCE, UKRAINIAN TROOPS OF ALREADY BEEN ABLE TO SLOW DOWN A MAJOR RUSSIAN OFFENSE. >> Reporter: 50 BILLION MORE ON RUSSIAN FUNDS. A CONFERENCE PIECE OVER THE WEEKEND, THE UNITED STATES WAS AMONG 80 NATIONS. A TANK COMMANDER HERE TELLS US HE IS WORRIED ABOUT PRESSURE FROM UKRAINE TO MAKE A DEAL WITH RUSSIA. >> UKRAINIANS HAVE A MORE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM. A RUSSIAN TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION. THIS SHOPPING CENTER WAS HIT BY JUST TWO GLIDE BOMBS AND THE IMPACT WAS DEVASTATING. RUSSIA HAS VAST QUANTITIES OF OLD FASHIONED STYLE BOMBS AND BY ATTACHING WINGS A BASIC GUIDANCE SYSTEM TO THEM, RUSSIA HAS NOT ONLY MANAGED TO EXTEND THEIR RANGE BUT TURN THEM INTO PRECISION WEAPONS. SURVEILLANCE VIDEO CAPTURE THE MOMENT OF THE ATTACK. OFFICIALS SAY 19 UKRAINIANS WERE KILLED INCLUDING TWO CHILDREN. PRESIDENT ZELENSKY SAYS RUSSIA IS NOW FIRING 3000 GLIDE OMBS A MONTH. THEY TELL US THEY DON'T HAVE AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO STOP IT NORTH KOREA HAS BEEN PROVIDING RUSSIA WITH LARGE QUANTITIES. >> SURVEILLANCE IMAGES, HE SLIPPED AWAY FROM OFFICERS AND WHY THEY THINK THEY'VE CROSSED STATE LINES. >>> CASES A FLESH EATING BACTERIA, RECORD LEVELS OF JAPAN THEY SAY THAT IT CAN KILL IN JUST 48 HOURS, WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR. >>> A NEW BORDER POLICY, AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT COULD POSSIBLY PREVENT HALF 1 MILLION MIGRANTS I. STARTED WE ARE BACK NOW WITH A MANHUNT FOR AN ESCAPED INMATE. HE MANAGED TO SOMEHOW SLIP AWAY FROM A COURTHOUSE IN MISSISSIPPI, A DAY OUT OF THE SHACKLES AND SEEMINGLY WALK THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR. >> Reporter: TONIGHT, AN URGENT MANHUNT FOR A MURDER SUSPECT ON FRIDAY AUTHORITIES SAY 30-YEAR OLD JOSHUA ZIMMERMAN ESCAPED FROM A COURTHOUSE IN MISSISSIPPI ABOUT 26 MILES SOUTH OF MEMPHIS TENNESSEE. >> THIS INDIVIDUAL IS VERY VIOLENT, HE IS CONNIVING, HE WILL DO ANYTHING HE CAN TO -- >> HE WAS TRANSPORTED WITH A GROUP OF OTHER INMATES, HE DISAPPEARED AS HE WAS IN LINE TO ENTER. >> IN THE PROCESS OF WALKING UP THE STAIRS, HE WAS JUST CUT FROM THE LINE AND WENT THROUGH AN UNLOCKED DOOR IN THE STAIRWELL. >> IMAGES RELEASE FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE SHOWS HIM EMERGE OUT OF SHACKLES AND IN STREET CLOTHES. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY TELLING US THE OFFICE IS NOW WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED BEHIND THAT DOOR. >> THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN AND HOW DO YOU GET OUT OF THE SHACKLES, HOW DO YOU CHANGE CLOSE AND IS WALK OUT OF THE BUILDING? AUTHORITIES SHOWING US THEY BELIEVE A STRANGER HELPED HIM CROSS LINES. >> WE BELIEVE SOMEONE GAVE HIM A RIDE.

THERE OFFERING A $10,000 REWARD FOR ANY INFORMATION THAT MAY LEAD TO HIS ARREST. >> YOU LISTEN TO THAT REPORT AND YOU ASK YOURSELF, HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? HE GETS OUT OF HIS SHACKLES, THE DOORS UNLOCKED, WHAT ELSE DID THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY TELL YOU ABOUT THE WAY HE ESCAPED? >> THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY HAS A LOT OF QUESTIONS, THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE. HERE IS THE THING, HE HIMSELF IS NOT BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE SECURITY VIDEO. IT IS THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE THAT HAS THE VIDEO. WHEN WE SPOKE, HE TOLD ME HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE SCREENSHOT IMAGE FROM SOMEONE AND THEN HE VERIFIED THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO SIT. HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO SEE THOSE VIDEOS AND ALSO THAT BUILDING IS CONTROLLED BY THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. IS GOING TO BE THEIR INVESTIGATION THAT WILL REVEAL THOSE DETAILS. THEY DID SHARE MORE INFORMATION AND DETAILS THAT WE HAVE SHARED HERE AND PHOTOS WITH A BEARD OR WITHOUT A BEARD BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE HE COULD'VE SHAVED HIS FACIAL HAIR TO CHANGE HIS APPEARANCE. >> WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. WHEN WE COME BACK, DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE NEW SOCIAL MEDIA WARNING THAT COULD BE COMING, SOCIAL MEDIA SITES SHOULD HAVE A WARNING LABEL ON THEM, LIKE THE ONES ON CIGARETTE >>> BACK NOW TOP STORIES, WE START WITH THE HORRIFIC HOUSE FIRE IN GEORGIA THAT LEFT SIX PEOPLE DEAD INCLUDING THREE KIDS .

MY HE SAYS MORE AND MORE LATINOS ARE MOVING TO A WHITE. WITH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS STILL GETTING WRONG TRYING CHAN SOCIAL MEDIA TO BE A SAFER PLACE? >>> WE ARE BACK NOW WITH OUR SPOTLIGHT HERE, A LOOK AT THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE, THE BORDERS IN THIS COUNTRY, THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. THAT IS THE FOCUS, HOW AMERICANS ARE TRANSFORMING DEMOCRACY. THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE, YOU CONSULTED TO POLITICAL CANDIDATES MOSTLY ON THE GOP SIDE BUT ALSO SOME DEMOCRATS, IN YOUR BOOK, YOU SAY THEY ARE ELECTING LESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND MORE OF THE GOP. WHY? >> MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE LARGE DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT THAT IS HAPPENING. THERE RAPIDLY FILLING THE RANKS OF THOSE THAT WILL PUT THEIR HARD HAT WEARING BLUE-COLLAR WORKERS, THE ENERGY PATCH WORKING IN AGRICULTURAL PHASE. CONSTRUCTION SITES. NON-HISPANIC SO IT SHOULDN'T COME AS A SURPRISE TO US AND BOTH COALITIONS ARE CHANGING THAT THEIR VOTING FAR MORE ECONOMIC VOTERS THAN THEY WERE AS RACIAL OR ETHNIC VOTERS IN THE PAST. >> HE THOUGHT BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS WERE GETTING LATINO VOTERS WRONG, HOW? >> THE MAIN REASON IS BECAUSE DEMOCRATS TEND TO FOCUS MORE ON THOSE RACIAL AND ETHNIC ISSUES. REPUBLICANS TEND TO DISMISS IT ENTIRELY SAYING THINGS LIKE IF YOU JUST DROP THAT AND NOT FOCUS ON BEING ANYTHING BUT AMERICAN, YOU CAN KIND OF JOIN US AND BE A PART OF WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE. THE REALITY IS THAT THEY ARE A BLEND OF BOTH OF THIS. THERE IS A RACIAL SENSITIVITY TO SOME OF THE CHALLENGES FACING THIS COUNTRY BUT THEY'RE OVERWHELMINGLY DRIVEN BY THESE ISSUES. THEY POLARIZE THE SUCCESS, VOTERS ARE THE MODERATE VOTERS IN BOTH PARTIES AND THE PARTY THAT IS ABLE TO CAPTURE THE MULTIETHNIC WORKING CRAFT WILL BE THE PARTY, THE DOMINANT PARTY OF THE NEXT GENERATION. BOTH PARTIES ARE STRUGGLING TO COME TO TERMS WITH THAT. >> I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE DECIDING FACTOR FOR 2024. LATINO VOTERS MAKE UP ABOUT 25% OF ELIGIBLE VOTERS, 22%, GEORGIA WISCONSIN AND MICHIGAN. BASED ON WHAT YOU'VE SEEN REPUBLICANS ARE OFTEN TIMES WINNING THE VOTE LATELY OR AT LEAST INCREASING ON THEIR PERCENTAGES, WHY DO YOU THINK THAT HAPPENED? DO YOU THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH ECONOMIC POLICY STRICTLY? >> THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ECONOMIC IN THE WORD THAT NOBODY'S USING HERE IS AFFORDABILITY. THE DEMOCRATS AND THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE SUCCESS OR HOW THE DOW IS DOING, THESE ARE VOTERS THAT HAVE BEEN HIT HARD BY ECONOMIC IMPACTS IN THE DEVALUATION BY ABOUT 20%, IT'S TRUE TO SAY THAT FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AGO THEY WERE FINANCIALLY BETTER OFF IN THERE LOOKING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE WHERE SOMEBODY CAN ACTUALLY SPEAK TO THE PAIN THAT THEY FEEL AND IT'S NOT WHAT THEY ARE HEARING RIGHT NO . I WANT TO SHOW SOME OTHER POLLING THAT HAS HAPPENED YOU HAVE BIDEN LEADING TRUMP 45%, BACK IN 2020 THE GAP WAS MUCH WIDER. LEADING HISPANIC VOTERS FOR 25% IN THE ELECTION. FROM EVERYTHING YOU ARE SEEING, ARE LATINO VOTERS GRAVITATING TOWARD TRUMP OR ARE THEY TURNING OFF BIDEN? >> THAT IS A FANTASTIC QUESTION, LET ME SAY THIS. REPUBLICANS ARE WINNING DESPITE THEIR BEST EFFORT NOT BECAUSE OF THAT. IF YOU LOOK AT GOVERNORS, REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS LIKE RON DESANTIS, THE FORMER REPUBLICAN OF ARIZONA THEY ALL HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON. THEY ALL DID BETTER AT BETTER LEVELS WITH HISPANIC VOTERS THAN DONALD TRUMP. THE SAME IS TRUE OF REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL HOUSE CANDIDATES ARE OUT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY ALL OF THAT IS VERY STRONG EVIDENCE THAT OF DONALD TRUMP WERE NOT IN THE WAY, REPUBLICANS WOULD BE EVEN BETTER WITH HISPANIC VOTERS. IT'S NOT THAT DONALD TRUMP IS DOING ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO APPEAL TO THESE VOTERS IT'S THAT THE UNDERLYING ECONOMIC CURRENT TRANSFORMING THE ECONOMY ARE DRIVING THEM IN THIS DIRECTION. THEY'RE NOT GETTING ANY OF THE ECONOMIC RELIEF OR SOLUTIONS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR. THERE ARE JUST NOT ENOUGH REPUBLICANS TO DEFLECT AND OFFSET TO DONALD TRUMP IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THAT IS UNFORTUNATELY WHERE ON BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN AT THIS TIME , TIME IS RUNNING OUT HERE. >> TALK TO OUR VIEWERS, A LOT OF DEMOCRATS YOU HEAR THEM ESPECIALLY DURING THE ELECTION. THE BIDEN HARRIS RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN WILL FOCUS ON THE DEMOCRACY THAT DONALD TRUMP IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. IS THAT A THREAT? SOMETIMES WHEN YOU HEAR THESE DEBATES. THEY'VE SEEN DICTATORS UP CLOSE AND THEY WOULD NEVER WANT THAT AGAIN, ARE THOSE ARGUMENTS WORKING FOR LATINO VOTERS? I KNOW YOU'RE SAYING IT IS ALL ABOUT ECONOMICS BECAUSE MAYBE THEY'RE SO BUSY THINKING ABOUT THEIR PAYCHECK THINK YOU HOW EXPENSIVE THINGS I DON'T HAVE TIME TO THINK RIGHT NOW ABOUT THE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY BECAUSE THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO PAY THE BILLS NEXT WEEK. >> YOU JUST ARTICULATED IT PERFECTLY. THAT'S THE WAY WORKING-CLASS LOWER MIDDLE-CLASS, THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT PAYING THE RENT ON FRIDAY. THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER THEIR KIDS ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO JOIN THE SOCCER LEAGUE NEXT SATURDAY. IT DOESN'T MEAN IT IS A BAD METHOD. IT DOES MEAN THAT THERE HAS TO BE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO SPEAK TO LATINOS FOR 30 YEARS OF POLLING HAVE BEEN TELLING US, SCREAMING AT US WHERE THERE AT. ECONOMIC AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES, AFFORDABILITY. IT IS THE FASTEST-GROWING SEGMENT OF THE BLUE-COLLAR WORKFORCE. OVERWHELMINGLY WORKING IN INDUSTRIES THAT POSE THE NEXT ESSENTIAL THREAT TO THEIR INCOME. TALKING ABOUT AGRICULTURE, ALL OF THESE INDUSTRIES. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY, THEY CAN GET BACK TO THE WORKING CLASS. I WOULD ARGUE THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO IF THEY WIN THIS ELECTION. NOT ENOUGH VOTES TO BE PEELED OFF, THAT TO GET THE LATINO VOTES BACK IN THE POLLS AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DISHMAN >> WHY DID YOU CALL YOUR BOOK THE LATINO CENTURY? >> IN EIGHT SHORT YEARS THE AMERICANS -- AMERICA WILL BE A NONWHITE COUNTRY. LATINOS THE CENTURY THAT ARE BRINGING THE SAME QUALITIES THAT ARE CALLED THE AMERICAN CENTURY FLEX CENTURY, THERE IS TRUST AND CONFIDENCE IN AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS IN THE AMERICAN EXPERIMENT ITSELF WITH LATINOS TO READ AND REFLECT AND REVALUE A LOT OF WHAT WE HAVE LOST CULTURALLY AS A COUNTRY SO WE NO LONGER BELIEVE IN MANY WAYS THE DEMOCRACY ITSELF, THE AVERAGE AGE 30 YEARS OR YOUNGE , AND IF WE ARE GOING TO SURVIVE I BELIEVE WE WILL IT WILL BE LARGELY IN PART OF THE VALUES, PRINCIPLES THAT LATINO VOTERS ARE BRINGING. >> THE BOOK, HOW AMERICANS LARGEST MINORITY>> AND IF YOU'V SOPRANO'S, IT IS STILL STREAMING RIGHT NOW ON MAX. WE THANK YOU FOR WATCHING TOP STORY TONIGHT. I'M TOM LLAM
