santa new central starts right now all right. breaking overnight for american stabbed in china's the attack centered on social media. and we just learned seconds ago, a suspect has been arrested sit in this attack dangerous for our democracy. this must stop. attorney general merrick garland taking on republican lawmakers and taking them on head-on today as he warned because the attacks on his department are going to get someone hurt jury deliberations resumed today and hunter biden's federal gun trial, the president's son, waiting to hear his fate i'm kate bolduan with on vermin cnn's sara sidner is out today. this is cnn news central breaking just seconds to go a suspect
4:02 am
arrested in china, connected to the stabbing of four american educators there still questions about if and why these americans were targeted. >> new video appears to show the aftermath what was quickly centered on chinese social media blood is visible at the scene. the victims are from cornell college in iowa they are in northeast china as part of a partnership with a local university seed and steve john joins us now from beijing with the very latest on this arrest iv. what are you learning? >> yeah, john, that police of that you just mentioned came from jilin city in northeastern china. as you said, a suspect was caught by the police and now in custody, the police describing him as a 55-year-old local residents with a surname of twain. now, they also add a bit more details in terms of what happened, saying this suspect, according called collided with one of the americans in the park and then somehow decided to use a knife
4:03 am
to attack that an american and three companions, as well as a local chinese citizen trying trying to stop this attack. now, the police statement added that none of the injuries were life-threatening and all of the injured people have received prompt m. proctor medical care. now, this is the local authorities breaking their silence more than 24 hours after this horrific incident earlier, we have heard we had heard from the chinese foreign ministry echoing a lot of whether police just said, but also they he used the word isolated incident to describe this case. that's obviously the key message from the government to the outside world. but it is worth pointing out that this kind of violence against foreigner is rare in this country because china's generally considered a safe place to visit with a heavy security police presence, not to mention there are massive surveillance and it's technologies being deployed nationwide. but because it's almost impossible to get hold of gun for most ordinary chinese people, stabbing
4:04 am
incidents like this have happened in recent years targeting people ranging from doctors, to school schoolchildren. but again violence against foreigner is rare. that's why this case is receiving so much attention. nine not to mention the timing of this attack, couldn't have come at a worse time for the chinese government because they're leader xi jinping has been personally promoting the resumption and expansion of the so-called people-to-people exchanges between the two countries after the two governments finally, somewhat stabilized their fragile relationship. >> xi jinping, wow, in san francisco november personally said, china was ready to host 50,000 young americans in the coming five years for study and exchange programs. >> just last year, she i just last week actually, excuse me, xi jinping wrote a letter to a new jersey, new jersey college stressing the importance of this kind of exchanges. so if this incident somehow ends up dampening america two kinds interest and enthusiasm in coming back to china, i think that we consider, considered quite a major setback for the chinese leader john kth, china,
4:05 am
china wants you as students there and us money there. >> and this is the video we're looking at right now. you can see the victims clearly are on the ground. this video again has been centered on chinese social media. one suspect now in custody, steve. thank you so much for that update. keep us posted on new developments. >> also, do this morning, a scathing public statement by attorney general merrick garland just published in the washington post to garland riding in an op-ed is warning against what he calls the unfounded attacks and department of justice that he says is putting his staff and democracy in danger. the attorney general saying this in part, using conspiracy theories, false hoods, violence, and threats of violence to effect political outcomes is not normal. the short-term political benefits of those tactics we'll, tactics will never make up for the long-term cost to our country. and even though he does not say republicans anywhere in this op-ed, it is clear who he is referring to, quite frankly, garland also saying this at one point, these attacks come in the form of threats to defund particular
4:06 am
department investigations. most recently, the special council's prosecution of the former president, the attorney general's rare public rebuke comes right as house republicans are preparing to take the next step today and charging him with contempt of congress seen as lauren fox has more adding to the attention around this movement today is now this opinion piece from the attorney one general. what is going to happen in the house today? lauren yeah. >> okay. what you're going to see in just a couple of hours is the house rules committee will convene to consider these two resolutions to hold garland in contempt. now, what this does is it is the first step to get it to the house floor. we do expect that that action could to happen later this week. one of the question marks since these two resolution's passed in the judiciary and oversight committees, was whether or not house republican leadership had the votes to actually advance them on the floor. obviously, they're feeling very confident about that, or they wouldn't be moving this through the rules
4:07 am
committee today. but again, how speaker for my johnson can only afford to lose two republicans and still get this across the finish line. what this would ultimately do is these resolutions would instruct the house speaker to refer garland for potential criminal charges from the attorney in washington, dc. again, it is very unlikely that that would happen, but this is not without some precedents. if you remember, house republicans actually held eric holder in contempt of congress democrats held william barr in contempt of congress. nothing ultimately came of that, but that just shows you that there is a record and there is a history of the opposing party holding the president's attorney general in contempt of congress. and we should just note this all stems over a dispute over whether or not the attorney general should release the special counsel's audio interview with president joe biden. those transcripts have been released, but house
4:08 am
republicans say that they want the audio of the interview to continue their investigation into joe biden lauren. >> good to see you. thank you so much. let's see what happens today. also with us, also for us, this coming up for us right now, is that your teres day and one blinken is in jordan to discuss how to get think more critical humanitarian aid into gaza. >> and also with that, putting more pressure on hamas to accept a ceasefire deal. and it's already expensive enough to buy a home but a new report shows the cost of maintaining one are skyrocketing as well, and new details this morning about the payouts for passengers of that singapore airlines flight that hits such dangerous turbulence that one person died. we'll be back 19th cnn celebrates junzi, which special performances by john legend, eddie lewbel, smokey robinson we still have a

favorite pair of jeans today. i'm taylor available on the apple app store or android, the most anticipated moment of this election and the stakes couldn't be higher. the president and the former president, one state to moderated by jake tapper and dana bash, the cnn presidential debate thursday, june 27th, nine live on cnn and streaming on max all, right happening now we are standing by for jury deliberations to resume in hunter biden's federal gun trial. >> the jury had the case for about an hour before breaking for the night. the president's son could arrived back in court shortly. he faces three felony gun charges i see it as marshall cohen is live outside the courthouse this morning. how will this work? marshall hey, john. >> good morning. well, as you mentioned, that jury got about one hour deliberations in the books yesterday, and they are expected to return here at 9:00 a.m. about two hours from now. now, the judge said that she's not going to call them all back into the courtroom just to win push them a good morning.
4:14 am
there'll be allowed to go directly to the jury room and the once everyone is back in that room, vacant, pick up the deliberations on their own we won't necessarily see them this morning. now, while they're in that room doing their deliberations, they have to weigh three criminal charges that special counsel, david weiss this has brought against hunter biden. he's accused, as everyone knows by now, of lying on gun forms and illegally possessing a gun while addicted to drugs, but it's a little more complicated than that, john, because while those are the top line charges, each one of those offenses contains several elements of the offense that the jury needs to also debate discuss, and decide whether each one of those elements within each charge was also met so there's a lot under the hood here for the jury to hash out. now, i do want to point out obviously this has been a family affair for the bidens from the the very start,
4:15 am
and they really beefed up the support yesterday in court. we saw obviously the first lady, jill biden president biden's sister, valerie, his brother, james and then hunter biden's sister, younger sister, ashley, was also in the pews in the gallery during the closing arguments during that final push. and they're present isn't caught the attention of the prosecution. one of the very first thing is that prosecutor leo wise told the jury in his closing arguments was basically telling them that there's a lot of famous people in the galleries. there are people you might recognize from the news, from the community. but respectfully, none of that matters. pay no attention come to that and only focus on the evidence in this case, which the prosecution claimed was overwhelming. john, in many ways right now the fate of the president's son it is in the jury's hands and there'll be back in just about two hours to hopefully reach a conclusion. >> a verdict could come at any time. marshall cohen, thanks so much for being there. needless

4:21 am
there's all of these hidden costs of homeownership and they can really add up bank rate found that on average americans are spending 18 thousand dollars a year to own and maintain their home. that is obviously a lot of money when you think about it, it's almost like the cost of buying a used car a year. this is 26% more than in 2020. and of course this is all on top of your mortgage payment, right? we're talking about the cost of energy, the cost of property taxes and the biggest drivers according to bankrate or the fact that it's gotten more expensive to maintain a home. and also the cost of home insurance that we've seen premiums spike, right? for two reasons. >> one, it's the fact that there's the climate crisis has made it more likely that there's these disasters, right? >> we've seen wildfire person hurricanes and flooding. then the cost of living, labor, materials that's all gone up. so it's more expensive to repair when this happens, i spoke to a woman in california yesterday who told me that her home insurance rate doubled
4:22 am
with no notice because of concerns about wildfires on top of that, they have to spend $10,000 to repair the plumbing now, she's taking on extra hours to try to make ends meet and she's not alone, kate? >> absolutely. does it matter? does it change depending on where you live? >> it does. it does. >> not shockingly, some of them more expensive places to own and maintain a home or here in the northeast, we seat new jersey massachusetts, connecticut, of course, all of these states high cost of living also high property taxes. california and hawaii, two very expensive it's a place to live. it's costing almost $30,000 a year. now, we've also seen a big surge in the cost of owning and maintaining a home in hawaii up by almost 40%, but also big increases since 2020 in idaho and utah as well. these are the three states with you price is going to expense is going up the most. now, on the opposite end of the spectrum, some states has actually become more affordable to own and maintain a home. arkansas, kentucky, mississippi, three of the more affordable places to live
4:23 am
there. we've seen expenses go up at a slower pace, but listen, i think at the end of the de, no matter where you live, the message here is that you've got a budget for the unexpected, the burst pipe, the home insurance spike, because when it happens, it can be really painful. yeah. >> and you're also keeping tied to this. you're also keeping then keeping a close watch on an increase of underwater mortgages. >> that's right. so let me most americans are sitting on a nice cushion of equity because home prices have gone up but there is an increase in some people who are seriously underwater. that means that they owe 25% more than the home is worth. it's never a good sign. we've seen this is a particular problem in louisiana, wyoming, kentucky, and mississippi, and oklahoma. and this reflects the fact that in some of these areas home prices have actually gone down since the peak and some people, they bought at the peak, they bought at the top. so now they owe more than what the home is actually worth. i think big picture nationally, this does not seem to be a major problem,
4:24 am
only about 2.7% of all mortgages are seriously underwater. that's pretty low back in the great recession was around one in four homes that were underwater, but we do need to keep an eye on this. and i do think it's another reminder that whether you're talking about expenses or fluctuating home prices homeownership, it's not without risk. kate i mean, look, kentucky is a perfect example. >> kentucky is among the states that you said where homes were becoming more affordable and you're also seeing this is where people are for have being seriously underwater with their mortgages because they've also seen home prices go down. so you talk about the kind of the complicated web of, it doesn't come without risks and it's all interconnected in a very strange way exactly. >> it's good to see you, man. thank you so much. >> so coming up for us, attorney general merrick garland is facing another contempt vote in congress today, and he is not facing it quietly. >> he's his blistering rebuke of the conspiracy theories that he says are endangering the department of justice, the people working there, and democracy and the white house is celebrating black history with an early juneteenth celebration this election

4:30 am
means everyone has said yes except for hamas and if hamas doesn't say yes then this is clearly on them all right, cnn's oren liebermann is in tel aviv this morning with the very latest on what are you hearing? >> john, secretary of state antony blinken held not only a number of meetings here, but also throughout the region to try to push forward this ceasefire deal and a hostage release. he had come from egypt. and then here he met with prime minister benjamin netanyahu, the defense minister, the leader of the opposition, and benny gantz, who until just a couple of days ago, was a member of the war cabinet before he resigned from the israeli perspective. that's everybody you'd have to meet with two potentially get israel to agree to a ceasefire proposal once it's at that stage, but blinken knows he's still has work to do and that's why he's now in jordan and then going to meet qatari officials who've been a key mediator here. he's trying to move this forward even after
4:31 am
the events of the weekend and a hostile a hostage rescue operation in israel that killed scores of palestinians, incidents like that have brought negotiations to a grinding halt in the past he is trying to push them forward. the proposal on the table right now, here is the rough outline phase one would see a cessation to hostilities temporarily that would allow for more negotiations. to take place. a hostage release, palestinians released from prisons as well, and hostages remains released. that then would lead to phase two. that's a withdrawal of israeli forces, a permanent end to hostilities. that conclusion of the hostage release and then phase three would be the rebuilding of gaza from the us perspective, and the biden administration's perspective, they believe they have israel in a position where they'll agree to this. the question for blinken, does hamas and specifically hamas's leader in gaza, yahya sinwar agree we await the answer from hamas, and that will speak volumes about what they want, what they're looking before, who they're looking after are they looking after one guy who may
4:32 am
be for now safe, very i don't know ten storeys underground somewhere in gaza as a while the people that he purports to represent continue to suffer and across fire of his own making or will he do what's necessary? >> to actually move this to a better place to help him the suffering of people, to help bring real security to israelis and palestinians alike hamas has made some positive noises about a un security council resolution that passed in the last 24 hours or so, calling for a permanent end to hostilities. >> but there is still the details to be worked out and that john is where this has certainly fallen apart in the past. that's what blinken is trying to prevent right now and his whirlwind of meetings through region yeah. just about every time in the past it has fallen apart when it gets to those details are in lieberman. thanks so much. keep us posted on what you here. >> also new this morning conspiracy theories, falsehoods, and unfounded threats of violence must stop
4:33 am
that's from the attorney general, merrick garland speaking out this morning in a new opinion piece to defend his agency and also call out really no uncertain terms the people and politicians attacking the department of justice. garland saying in part, quote in recent weeks, we have seen an escalation of attacks that go far beyond public scrutiny and criticism and legitimate necessary oversight of our work. there baseless, personal and dangerous also saying disagreements about politics are good for our democracy. their normal. but using conspiracy theory is false hoods violence, and threats of violence to effect political outcomes is not normal they are dangerous for our democracy. this must stop joining me right now. democratic congressman greg meeks from new york, he is the top democrat on the house foreign affairs committee. congressman, thank you for being here. this of course, is as republicans are moving forward with another step today toward potentially a full house vote on a contempt of congress charge against the attorney general. what impact will this
4:34 am
have? >> nothing it's again another false allegations. >> and when the republicans have virtually done nothing in their majority, nothing for the american people. they keep coming up with plots in investigations and hearings that mean absolutely. and turns out to be nothing there's nothing burgers this is you know, i've been in congress for over 26 years and this is like nothing ever before. we should be doing legislative work. there's a lot of things that we need to be doing should be doing in a collective manner, in a bipartisan manner for the american people, oftentimes, you've seen hakeem jeffries and democrats step-up to do the kind of thing that the american people need. but these illness investigations and virtually every committee okay. just about every committee, mike committee on foreign affairs we've had and had to debunk these false allegations from time to time and time again. so it's just
4:35 am
something that is i think horrendous and needs to stop. and let's do work for the american people fact that they're moving into rules committee. >> do you think republicans could only lose two votes? do you think that suggests they have the votes to push this through luck? i don't know what they're dysfunctioning is an oftentimes to get certain things out of the rules that were important for the american people. it took democrats to get that done. so whether they have the votes to get it out of the rules, whether they just don't want we don't want to try to divert the american people's attention away from the a candidate who has been convicted as a felon whether they are trying to close their eyes to the fact or the damage they've done to ukraine by holding the supplemental 46 months so it seems to me that they are trying to pull a bait and switch the try to keep the people's attention away from what is really taking place in the house of representatives, which is absolutely nothing to
4:36 am
talk about what happened here in new york yesterday, un security council approving a hostage, throwing their support behind a hostage and ceasefire deal for israel and hamas the fact that they could agree on anything is a big deal considering how divided the council has been and divided the un has been over this war. and tony blinken said this morning that in meetings netanyahu reaffirmed his commitment to that peace proposal do you do you we have not heard from netanyahu publicly endorsing a peace proposal. do you does it concern you that we have not? >> i think that the fact that you see secretary blinken there you see the cia director burns there brett mcgurk there, and talking to the various people in the region. i think that the israeli people we see them talking about, they want a deal. everyone wants a deal and that's why i think it's
4:37 am
important to now and what should be focused or hamas. and have hamas to agree to a deal i'm so happy we've got those four hostages home. but there was prices to pay for that. and the way to prevent the price of death for innocent individuals and putting israeli soldiers in harm's way is to have a deal done. it is time to do a deal. and i think that president biden has shown the great leadership that he always does and pulling people together that we should be able to get a deal done saudi arabia, once a deal and this then begins to talk about what takes place after there's a deal which was what benny gantz was talking about, which is really important, which and still remains a huge question right now, the house has passed a sanctions bill against the international criminal court for moving to seek for a seek arrest warrants against including benjamin netanyahu for what the court had said was they saw crimes against humanity and war crimes 42 democrats joined republicans in
4:38 am
the house to support the sanctions vote. the white house does not support it, but i want to play, i want to play for you. one of the democrats who voted with republicans jared moskowitz, listen to this the ic50, she's saying is outrageous. >> okay. they have no jurisdiction over israel. they had no jurisdiction over syria. in fact, the icc's specifically said, well, the reason why we didn't go after assad for war crimes we didn't issue a warrant at after he killed 300,000 civilians with chemical weapons, by the way, gassing them it's because, we, don't have jurisdiction. well, they don't have jurisdiction here with israel, but now we have a made-up rule, right? it's, it's magical. all of a sudden they gave themself jurisdiction when they don't have any so that's why it was critical that we pass this bill yesterday on a bipartisan basis you voted against this this very same bill. >> why are you write and moscowitz wrong on this one? >> first of all, it's premature. what we had is a prosecutor who applied for a
4:39 am
subpoena for the arrest of mr. netanyahu and of sinwar from hamas that hasn't happened is premature. number one. number two, it undermined some because we celebrated that too long ago when the icc did appropriately, it was went to the judges and the judges decided that they would ask for the arrest of mr. putin. should he do? who something of that nature not clearly what is wrong is the prosecutor. and i think that the the bill that passed was so wide in sanctioning allies would, would have been sanctioned and other individuals who are friends that it was just too much. >> and what we need to focus on narrowly is that prosecutor, to try to equate israel to hamas? >> that is absolutely condemn able. and something that we are all upset about. and so
4:40 am
there's a way that we could work together. and if it was a singularly focused that regard to think that we could have talked about it. but this bill was far too broad it had unintended consequences that would hurt our relationships with numbers around the world a lot on your plate right now, congressman, thanks for coming in. >> really appreciate your time. thank you. >> all right very shortly jury deliberations resume in hunter biden's federal gun case. the president's son has pleaded not guilty to three felony counts related to a 2018 gun purchase. with this now, former deputy assistant attorney general, tom dupree, counselor. great to see you this morning. the jury gets back shortly. they walk into the deliberation room. >> what do you thanks at the top of their minds well, it's a good question, john and i think today is the day we're finally going to get a verdict in this case. >> i think when the jury resumes its deliberations today, my guess is they're probably going to start marching through all the evidence. i thought the prosecutors and their closing argument did a good job and reminding the jury that regardless of the fame one of the defendant, his last name, he is the son of the president, the jury's task is to focus on
4:41 am
the evidence, and i suspect that the jury will go about that task this morning. i suspect they're going to march through and discuss what they heard from all witnesses. the physical evidence, and then really begin focusing their attention on reaching a decision the prosecution overtly referred to the people in the gallery, hunter biden's family, really that has been coming to this trial. >> why do you think that is? because the defense hasn't exactly i mean, they've been there and supportive hunter biden right? i think the prosecution here is addressing the elephant in the room. they are acknowledging implicitly, but acknowledging that this is the son of the president who has standing trial, and that the jury can look out and see the first lady, the united states, and other political celebrities. this is obviously a family that is very well known in delaware many of the jurors have had some sort of interaction or at least are pretty familiar with the biden family. and so i think it was the prosecutors way of basically saying, look, let's
4:42 am
step back, let's focus on the task at hand and let's put aside any sympathy or any feelings that we may have for this famous defendant and his famous family as all defense lawyers try to do abbe lowell, you're actually seeing a sketch of him, right there has tried to give jurors than a narrow out of reasonable doubt in that is to paraphrase here roughly that hunter biden in his mind it was not addicted to drugs when he signed a form that said he wasn't addicted to drugs on that day in that day alone at the moment the pen hit the paper, hunter biden didn't think he was addicted to drugs. that's the defense argument. there is that something is that enough for jurors to grab onto board? >> i think that is a pretty narrow path. look, i think that's an argument that a lawyer, tim love. i'm not sure. juror is going to love it. i suspect that the jury is going to say that the law doesn't require that hunter biden was using drugs the morning and he purchased the
4:43 am
gun. are the hour before or after he purchased the gun? i think they are going to say did he buy this gun and fill out that form at a point in his life when he was abusing crack, when he was under the influence of controlled substances, when he was addicted to controlled substances. and my hunch is that they are not going to parse the law as finally, in his name he really is the defense lawyers are doing that said, i understand their strategy. i don't think they have a lot of cards to play, and i think they're just putting their best foot forward and hoping hoping they can kick up enough sand to create reasonable doubt in the minds of these jurors. >> all right. tom dupree, depressed diamond blue is great to see you this morning. thanks so much for being with us so donald trump's message to evangelical voters, the latest promise he's making on the campaign trail clashes overnight and a major us university with new arrests if you have graves disease and

yet. so this morning, connecticut fans are still rejoicing for uconn coach dan hurley rejected a reported 70 $70,000,000 contract offer from the los angeles lakers in a statement to cnn, hurley says he is humbled by the experience, but at the end of the day, he is proud of the culture at uconn, which includes, i should note back-to-back titles. the deal would have placed hurley among the nba's highest paid coaches he would have had to go to the lake but then there's that but in honor of juneteenth, president biden is hosted a star-studded concert at the white house yesterday with performances from patty lewbel, gladys knight, and charlie wilson juneteenth celebrates the day when the enslaved people in galveston, texas
4:50 am
learned of their emancipation. >> two years after president lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation. >> and president biden signed a bipartisan bill, making june 19 and official federal holiday in 2021. >> and while the event was a collaboration of freedom, the president also took the opportunity to rail against what he called some political leaders working to take away the hard-won freedoms of black americans seen as arlette sciences at the white house, with much more on this. what was the president's message? >> well, kate, president biden, use this june teeth celebration event to stress that he remains committed to protecting and advancing the rights of black americans in this country. he, in his remarks argued that black history is american history three and he did not mention donald trump or any risks specific republican opponents by name. but the president was seeking to really draw an implicit contrast with republicans. he spoke out against book bans, attacks on diversity programs, as well as efforts to restrict voting.
4:51 am
take a listen to what he had to say. >> we're all goes new garments trying to take his back well, there are taking it away. your freedom to make it harder. her black people to vote wow, or have your vote counted. closing doors of opportunity, attacking the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion now the president's message comes as black voters are expected to be a key part heading into the november election, the biden campaign and administration in recent weeks have really been i'm trying to tell some of their works to help the black community talking about things like wiping out student loan debt, copying the price of insulin as well as other economic advancements for the black community. >> but if you take a look at polling, former president donald trump has made gains a with black voters in this election. if you take a look at a recent poll from the new york times and sienna college. while biden wasn't head with about 63% of support from black
4:52 am
voters. donald trump had 23%. that's a historic high for republicans uk crossing that 20% margin. now, if you take a look at 20:20 you've seen a much wider gap in that contest. black voters really made up a key part of biden's constituency back in 2020. and campaign advisers acknowledged they have more work to do heading into this election, especially as we have seen, this narrowing of support. so as you saw the president's remarks, you saw in recent events, thinking back to his speech at morehouse college, speech at an n double acp events out in detroit. the biden campaign working to hold onto that and rebuild that support from black voters, which will once again be key if he's trying to win a second term to the white house arlette time. >> thank you so much. john new fall out this morning after donald trump vowed to walk side-by-side with a group of conservative political activists that opposes abortion in all cases and calls the procedure child sacrifice in a
4:53 am
video message, trump touted his past accomplishments on the pro-life agenda and said that democrats are against their religion, cnn's alayna treene is here now with the very latest alaina while good morning, john. yes. donald trump addressed this suit group. it was part of their southern baptist convention and annual meeting that they have and he really honed in on saying luck democrats are against your religion as, as you mentioned, and tried to convince them to continue to support his campaign. what i find really interesting about this is because with donald trump, he has been kinda, he's waffled on abortion over the past year. it's really not an issue that he wants to discuss. however, when he is put in front of these groups, particularly ones that but are very much against abortion. he very much leans into what he has done for the evangelical community and also people and groups that are against abortion as well. take a listen to what he said last night. >> now is the time for us to all pull together and to stand
4:54 am
up for our values and for our freedoms. and you just can't vote democrat. they're against religion there, against your religion in particular, i know that each of you is protecting those values every day and i hope we'll be defending them side-by-side for your next four years. these are gonna be your years now, john, as i mentioned before, i just want to make very clear what donald trump is trying to do here. >> he is trying to convince these groups that they have to vote for him. and then if they vote for republicans, that they'll try to continue to undo some of the work he did while in office, which of course touting his stacking of the court with three very conservative supreme court justices that helped overturn roe versus wade. but i will say, as we often hear from donald trump, he likes to tout that he was the most pro life president in history. he's also really angered a lot of abortion active anti-abortion activists by not really taking
4:55 am
a position on a federal ban. he said that he wants to leave abortion up to the states. and so this is really angered a lot of these groups as well. and so this message is really him trying to ensure that these people come out for him in november john alayna treene in washington, atlanta. thanks so much. kate, joining us right now, a cnn senior political commentator, anna navarro and cnn political commentator and democratic strategists. >> maria cardona. maria, this pushes this would john and alina were just talking about this? pushes abortion once again into the spotlight donald trump did not include any specifics on abortion policy, what it support what he doesn't support, he doesn't even mention the word abortion at all in that tape or mark. that does what well, he thinks that it's going to help him screen him from being the one that actually was responsible for taking away roe v. >> wade for taking away women's freedoms and rights to make decisions over our own bodies. but he can't have it both ways, kate, it was very clean here. what he was trying
4:56 am
to do in this video, it's very clear what he tries to do whenever he is in front of these christian groups. and in fact, when he is in front of these christian groups most of the time he can't help himself and he brags about being the one that was appointed the three conservative justices who are responsible for for. turning roe v. wade. and so the more that he talks about this even though he doesn't say the word abortion, the better it's going to be for democrats, the better it's going to be for president biden and for everyone frankly, running on this issue about how women should be the ones the only ones to be able to make decisions about our own bodies for themselves, their families, their communities. and that frankly and underscores that this election is about more than just that. it's about our rights, freedoms in general. and it was very rich that he stood there talking about values and freedoms when he is the one that is completely devoid, a value suzanne is the
4:57 am
one who's trying to take away our rights and freedoms ana politico has a quote from one trump voter who it says was in the room for these tape remarks at this gathering saying this this from this is coming from a man named rick patrick. >> he sounded more like a politician who wanted to be elected i voted for him and i plan to vote for him again, but he was not like the other speakers who were here talking about religious things i read that thinking. does that just encapsulate what is president biden's problem though? this guy is not happy about what he heard from the, from the candidate that he says he voted for before for you will vote for again. but it's not like donald trump trying to have it both ways. donald trump but it's not both sides in it, but donald trump at one point saying that he was going to come up with a abortion policy that was going to make everybody happy he's not going to it's not going to stop him from voting for trump, even if he doesn't like what trump is saying about it you know, i
4:58 am
think a lot of evangelicals cross that bridge already and they did so in 2016 after they voted for donald trump after they heard him boast about sexual assault on video and take the campaign, to me, it's just so weird, bizarre, right? >> how many times have we now her trump and history gets? >> compared him to jesus compare him to being martyred on the cross, crucified, taking all of this pain for us. it's all of these religious jesus like themes that are somehow weaved into donald trump's existence, which sounds as crazy as can be it's crazy for him to say that democrats are against religion at a time when we are led by joe biden, who in my lifetime is the most religious precedent i can
4:59 am
recall, is not a christian conservative, is irish half church, boeing practicing catholic look, this hasn't worked for them, but i do think that there's then a come a time when the rubber's going to hit the road, when donald trump is going to be confronted and on a stage like a debate stage, say, a cnn debate stage, and asked, okay, be specific about your abortion the session because yes, on one hand, he takes credit for the dobbs decision. he takes credit for having appointed those judges he goes to groups like this and he makes wales ambiguous, but very specific remarks about abortion criticized this is joe biden on it, but then on in front of other audiences, he says, oh no, just leave it up to the state. well, at some point on some stage he's going to have to come clean an answer or is he not? not yet? very
5:00 am
top. >> let's talk about talk about what is good to talk about in politics. what is good for politics and not, here's an interesting one, donald trump now wondering aloud about taylor swift is apparently coming from an excerpt from a forthcoming book about his work with with the producer of the apprentice. a conversation that took place as in november 2023, trump saying this about taylor swift. >> i think she's a liberal. >> she probably doesn't like trump, but she is liberal or is that just an act he asks, she she's legitimately liberal. it's not an act, it surprises me that a country star can be, can be successful, being liberal trump said before the author noted that's with crossover to pop music years ago, the crossover, she, she can, she can do whatever she wants. i would say is it good for politics to take on taylor swift i mean, this is this just goes into that bucket of weird and strange that we are seeing pop up almost every single day in this campaign. >> kate. but again, i think the more than donald trump
