2024 election live updates: Crowd gathers for Trump's Madison Square Garden rally

Trump continued his alternative media outreach effort by sitting down for a podcast interview with retired pro wrestler Mark Calaway, also known as "The Undertaker."

During the podcast, Trump repeated his anti-trans rhetoric, promising to not allow "men playing in women's sports" as Calaway brought up his teenage quarterback daughter.

"You don't want to go and wrestle a guy like if you were doing that, because people do that -- like your father -- right? He's a little too much to handle," Trump said to Calaway's daughter, who was present for the interview, after Calaway asked him about Title IX..

"I will get rid of it fast. Men playing in women's sports is insane," Trump said.

Republicans have invested heavily in ads targeting the transgender community this cycle.

Trump toured devastation caused by Hurricane Helene just outside Asheville, North Carolina, and later delivered remarks to the press where he began by slamming the job from the White House for their hurricane response, continuing to push false claims about FEMA assistance in the wake of violence against FEMA workers.

"The power of nature. Nothing you can do about it, but you got to get a little bit better crew in to do a better job than has been done by the White House. It's been not good. Not good. I'm here today in western North Carolina to express a simple message to the incredible people of the state, I'm with you, and the American people are with you all the way," Trump said.

Later, he pushed false claims about the allocation of FEMA assistance, once again falsely saying that money dedicated to hurricane relief was going to offer assistance to migrants unaffected by the storm.

"FEMA has done a very poor job ... They had spent hundreds of millions of dollars doing other things, things that I don't think bear any relationship to this money, there was, they were not supposed to be spending the money on taking in illegal migrants, maybe so they could vote in the election. Because that's what a lot of people are saying. That's why they're doing it," Trump falsely said.

Members of the "Central Park Five" filed a defamation suit against former President Donald Trump on Monday, accusing him of spreading "false, misleading and defamatory" statements about their 1989 case during the Sept. 10 ABC News presidential debate, according to a new court filing.

Attorneys representing the five men -- Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Antron Brown and Korey Wise -- filed their civil suit against Trump in federal court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, seeking monetary damages over his statements, which they say have caused them "severe emotional distress and reputational damage."

The five men, then teenagers, were accused of the violent rape of a female jogger in Central Park in April 1989. The five, who always maintained their innocence, were convicted and served years in prison. A decade after the attack, a different man confessed to the crime, which was confirmed through DNA analysis.

Trump's attorneys have not yet entered an appearance on the court docket as of Monday morning. A Trump campaign spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit.

Trump kicked off his rally in Latrobe, Pa., with a detailed story about Arnold Palmer, at one point even praising the late golfer's genitalia.

The former president kicked off his rally Saturday with a detailed story about Arnold Palmer, at one point even praising the late, legendary golfer's genitalia.

Trump was campaigning in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, where Palmer was born in 1929 and learned to golf from his father, who suffered from polio and was head pro and greenskeeper at the local country club.

Politicians saluting Palmer in his hometown is nothing new. But Trump spent 12 full minutes doing so at the top of his speech and even suggested how much more fun the night would be if Palmer, who died in 2016, could join him on stage.

"Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women," Trump said. "This is a guy that was all man."

Then he went even further.
