office on a bible that survived the attack. >> we all have a responsibility to remember and remembering is not a passive exercise remembering is an active x two sides, something that this place will call upon all of us to do the groundbreaking for the new tree of life building a step forward in that work. but rather than say goodbye to the victims by breaking ground with a shovel, the congregation is celebrating the moment and how their loved ones lived with joy we're gonna be using little glass houses will actually do what we do in a traditional jewish wedding. >> where you break the glass to celebrate the events and those pieces of glass will be used as the mizuho, which will hang on the doors within the new facility in the jewish tradition, we honor those who have passed with these words. may their memories be a blessing. >> the best way to make their memory he's a blessing is by puncturing through the darkness with light. and the best form of light is education and i'm
4:01 pm
wolf blitzer in the situation room. >> thanks very much for watching >> erin burnett outfront starts right now outfront next, trump demands of drug tests before the debate, as we're getting new report into outfront this hour about a possible shift in strategy for biden tonight plus the most expensive house primary race in american history, with everyone from aoc to hillary clinton weighing in, who is favored to win in this crucial race tomorrow. and will take you to the southern border tonight. we're a small community straddles both sides of a dangerous part of the border. >> what they're witnessing every day and what they fear is still to come out front good evening. i'm erin burnett outfront tonight demanding a drug test. >> so for president trump now says president biden should be tested for drugs you saying this three days before the presidential debate right here on cnn and all caps, trump tonight writing online quote,
4:02 pm
drug tests for cookie joe biden, three exclamation points. >> i would also so immediately agreed 13 exclamation points trump upping the ante on a distraction campaign. and the final hours before the debate, making up a campaign out of thin air to accuse biden of using drugs so we could stay alert during the upcoming debate. just listen to what he's saying. >> right now. crooked joe's gone to a log cabin to study, repair no, he didn't he's sleeping now because they want to get them good and strong so a little before debate time, he gets a shot. the and that's they wanted to strengthen them up so he comes out, he'll come out okay i say he'll come out all jacked up okay it is not just trump who is pushing this dangerous line. so is congressman ronny jackson. you may remember him, right?
4:03 pm
because he started out as trump's white house doctor, obama's white house doctor actually you back at one point, listen to him i'm going to be demanding on behalf of many megan's of concerned americans right now that he's submit to a drug test before and after this debate specifically looking for performance enhancing drugs it's quite ironic, but these calls for drug tests are coming from these two particular man. >> i mean, one is a doctor who always gave trump a glowing bill of health, saying at one point it could live to 200 a doctor who actually do withdraw his nomination for the secretary of veterans affairs after being accused of writing prescriptions for well, what could have been illegal scripts for ambient and percocet while serving as the white house doctor in trump's administration. as for trump, if he is willing to take a test before the debate, that is new i mean, remember trump-allied after testing positive for covid three days before the september 2020 debate between trump and biden went out there with covid right on stage in front of everybody. new, he had it lied. >> days later, you'll remember trump trump was really sick.
4:04 pm
trump had to be rushed to walter reed medical center for treatment, spent days there it all comes as he is going all out to raise expectations for biden. now, maybe worried that he has set them too low. just listen to trump. >> now i watched him with paul ryan and he destroyed paul ryan boren with the water who was chugging water at a left and right. i didn't think a human being would be able to drink so much water at one time before ryan. so i'm not underestimating him. i'm not underestimating it so he's talking about a shot and you know what? and then trying to act serious as if he doesn't want underestimate him and look, it's all been part of a move for trump because just last month when it came to underestimating biden, it was a very, very different thing. trump wrote on may 15 on social media, crooked joe biden is the worst debater i've ever faced. he can't put two sentences together. perhaps top is remembering what happened last time when he successfully set the bar so low for biden that it backfired. just listened to the aftermath on fox news i do
4:05 pm
think that joe biden clear the very low bar that had been set for him? it was a very low bar that he was able to go over the bar should never have been set that lower as for biden, are kayla tausche has new reporting right now on the decisions taking place inside biden's debate inner circle, and the preparations ongoing as we speak, hail is out front live outside the white house. and what are you hearing right now about biden's strategy and the shifts happening, kayla? >> aaron several prominent democrats tell me that they've urged the biden campaign to have the president take a different tack on the economy during thursday's debate, moving away from his tendency to tout his accomplishments, instead focusing on the contrast of his plan with trump's planned because they acknowledged that the messaging so far has not worked with vote voters the four sources that i spoke with who requested anonymity to describe some of these private deliberations with the campaign. said that biden is a lifelong politician, is perhaps too inclined to take
4:06 pm
credit where it's due. and recently he's been talking about the 15 million jobs created the wage growth, the economy's ability to resist a recession. and while all crew voters, and their feelings are feelings of deep frustration about the higher cost of living, which has persistently been among their top issues. and one of the reasons why they give trump better marks on the economy. one of these sources when i asked how the campaign received that feedback, said simply claim gets it a reference to run playing biden's longtime aid and his debate coach at camp david right now and clean himself in recent months has made comments that biden talks too much about all the bridges he's building around the country and doesn't spend enough time empathizing with the average voter to be clear. biden's approval rating on the economy remains quite low. the campaign for its part at points to a recent an ad that the president role out talking in to voters in battleground states about these struggles they faced to make ends meet. but he's going to have a delicate balancing act
4:07 pm
on thursday to prove some of that progress will also acknowledging that voters don't necessarily feel it, aaron. >> alright, kayla, thank you very much. and outfront now, tim pawlenty, no stranger. you're to debate stages as of course, the former republican governor of minnesota, 2012 presidential candidate, also with me here, david urban and van jones. and since you're here, let me start with you than kayla's reporting on the economy. i was with president biden a few weeks ago and wisconsin when we were we began talking about the economy and i expected him to have more of that empathy and he didn't he got defensive. he started listing the positives even when you would list all the things that people see, he didn't want to hear it i believe that prior to that interview, people had counseled him to change his message on the economy. he didn't want to do it. do you think he will and do you think he can successfully? >> like i think he is going to do the right thing is great strength is empathy he deeply cares about ordinary people and he's a proud man and he's proud because it's hard to
4:08 pm
land the academy where you where it is right now. they'll get you do have inflation coming down, unemployment going up, that's called all the soft landing. he wants his credit. but trying to get credit yourself as wrong way to go. i think what you're going from joe biden is a proud defensive his record. he's going to go after to donald trump is also going to show you where he's going forward where he's gonna go on the economy going forward. and that will be winning company. >> that's crucial. and maybe this is the question, is trump, who we know is pairing in a non-normal way additional non-traditional, but on something like this, traditional can matter because you want to be able to stand up there and know that the five points biden's going to make an economy and you want to come back with every single one by the way anybody should be able to do that. the question is, will trump be able to do that because he's not preparing in that way? >> preparing listen, we kind of gloss over and forget the fact there was a second debate in 2020 right? donald trump didn't do so great in the first debate. that's what was referenced here earlier in the second debate, donald trump had commanded the facts. he did
4:09 pm
incredibly well and he won that debate by all accounts he wants to debate, but people weren't tuning in that donald trump i expect to show up on thursday night and that donald trump will robot point by point by point to van. van x is point all the time. if if joe biden doesn't empathize with people who can't. 57, 56% of americans can't put their hands on 11000 bucks. and when the check engine light comes on to your card van talked about this before. it's a crisis of those people. if joe biden can't empathize they make those people out there feel like he understands their pain. >> but if you can, that's gonna be a challenge. so tim governor pawlenty, what do you think joe biden needs to do? >> i mean, especially on this issue of the economy where he does tend to get defensive as opposed to empathetic. recently how can you change that? >> please, been talking about the economy for a long time and i think one of the problems is while the rate of inflation, if increase in inflation is slowing down it's coming off a much larger base after raging inflation for the last two years, i've prices are still going off. >> what you're also saying? yeah well, there's still going
4:10 pm
up, but they're also an absolute terms up dramatically compared to a couple of years ago. so when you buy bread, milk, gas again, other thing in your life that's sort of core to you. it's a lot more expensive and people aren't stupid. they feel that so you could say the rates come down from 7% to 3%, but they still feel so they're paying a lot more and that's why he's losing that argument on the another issue though, aaron, the ante for him is he has to show in this debate that he has the requisite physical and mental energy and strength to be president for four more years. and if you look at the polling on, in swing states amongst independent and persuadable hello voters. that's still a big issue. so if he goes in there and does not repeat a performance like the state of the state those questions are going to linger and it's going to matter. >> i mean, then that is the thing everybody is going to be watching him. watching him. they're gonna be watching his blinking. they're going to be watching that, but they are right to our called jamal made that on sunday arresting old
4:11 pm
man face but they're going to be staring at that. here's a good thing about that donald trump is a force of nature. donald trump is a runaway train. donald trump is a grizzly bear. if you can go in there and hold your own with him for an hour-and-a-half? >> you couldn't i couldn't if if your job by new pull that off, then you are fit to be president. >> is this goes both ways toward us in an hair it goes both ways. >> trump is making a big mistake here. he is setting expectations so high for himself but don't forget, you're taking away a lot of stuff from don trump. he's used to he loves to have the oxygen of that crowd. he won't have it. he loves to be able to run over people. they're going to mute him. this is the first time you get to see donald trump without the crowd and without his ability to bully people in donald trump's got some challenges. two, now, we left out about joe biden. don't trump that symptom you about that because he had a self-awareness that he does not often display about this issue.
4:12 pm
>> he gave an interview to byron hark at the washington examiner. he said about this exact issue of not having an audience. he said you have no audience to read to me. the audience is easier because it's telling you so what is going on in directly with applause or not applause knows this is so at the rally, that you guys didn't watch, i watched on saturday night trump would out to the crowd, said, how should i taught, how should i interact with joe biden? >> should i be nice to be mean to them? yeah. >> right. so if he gets it he understands politics at a visceral level. and so by not having that crowd, you're exactly right. he's not going to get a sense of donald ours punches landing, are they not? >> he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't read books. he reads people. that's donald trump and so that's why the night preparing doesn't matter in his mind because you're just reading a crowd. there'll be no crowd governor, let me ask you about that because he was asked in a podcast how he's preparing and he answered in what seems to be pretty honest way at least. >> and what everyone around him and who knows him seems to say, let me play it for you, governor people say, how are
4:13 pm
you preparing and preparing by taking questions from you and others if you think about it, we had a great meeting just now and philadelphia with the at the at the shop you saw that with all the wonderful people. >> we just left, faith and freedom in dc. and that was incredible. we had an incredible crowd i'll governor actually telling their that while he's talking about how he prepares, which is to sort of have conversations with people and do interviews. he brings up the crowd and the incredible uses the word incredible. talk about crowds twice. he's gonna be feeling it in that room what do you think about his style of preparations such that he's always done it in this environment where the mics get cut and he has no audience, you might get very bored in that room. there's only three people well, keep in mind era and the most important thing for this race, for these candidates is not all the people that are already commenting are made up their minds. >> it's just those people in the swing states who are independent or persuadable and if donald trump, because of the
4:14 pm
reasons you just mentioned, has to dial back his tone 10% are 15% or 20% for those people, the people who are wondering is jill biden too old? is he wrong on immigration as he wrong and wokeness as he wrong on crime or is trump too crazy to be president again, when it faced see a more subdued donald trump for that sub-segment of the electorate, it might actually be helpfult? >> if he doesn't. now all the memes going around him about talking about sharks and whatever it is that he does on his verbal cul-de-sac sit rallies basically, if he avoids that book, is that his hurdle sure. >> but just don't forget his base expects him to go out there for an whip some, but and the expectations for trump are so hired by talked about the loads, but you he's got to somehow balance trump. now be this entertainer that's wrestler type of a guy for his bass. he's also got to be calm and measured to deal with the fact, ready and be prepared to do 50 different things. so everybody is going to be expecting it the problem to all
4:15 pm
be on biden side all biden has to do is be joe biden. we already know that he's old. we already know the man i won't say anything without email and i know is deficits. but what we haven't seen from him is that big heart, that big empathy, and its ability to see it across the table from donald trump as you people can or ever have and deliver. >> not sound that's probably my money still on trump despite all the hurdles, van late in front of him, my money is still unknown. but some people have shown up with the w on thursday night. >> some people watch and say, you know what, maybe i'm just not going to cry about the two choices i have it so people walk away hailing positive in some way, i guess we should all take that as a loan for the country. >> i got my money on biden. all right. thank you. all and next, breaking news on wikileaks, founder julian assange, just striking a deal with the biden administration. so what does it mean was tempers fly and trump's classified documents case judge aileen cannon hearing after hearing today, appearing get to goal of placing a gag order on the man

4:20 pm
to make our city vibrant again. she's building 82,000 new homes and helping first time homebuyers, just like us. and london's hiring hundreds of police officers, and arresting drug dealers. san francisco has been through difficult times, but our hard work is paying off. working together, we're building a better future for the city we all love. ad paid for by re-elect mayor london breed 2024. financial disclosures are available at sfethics.org. call 187 7866, 85, 55 even mackenzie in washington and this is cnn and breaking news, we are learning of a plea deal for julian assange, the wikileaks founder that would allow him to avoid prison in the united states. a major development wikileaks founder agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge related to his alleged role in one of the largest ever breaches of classified material and american history. now what that deal would do would be to allow
4:21 pm
us onj to leave that high-security london prison where he's been for years stuck in london, and he would be allowed to return to his native australia. >> have been perez is out front and evan, what more can you tell us about what looks to be from what i just laid out, at least write a huge win for julian assange well absolutely are in luck the fact is that the julian assange under the terms of this agreement will be pleading guilty to one count. >> he was facing 18 counts in total in the eastern district of virginia. but under this deal, he will present himself in a federal court in psi pan and then northern mariana islands, a us territory. and if everything is approved by the judge on wednesday he could be very soon after that on his way to his home country of australia. and that's something that the australian government has been pushing and has gotten some, certainly some some some tentative approval of the
4:22 pm
former president biden, who express some sympathy for the idea of dismissing these charges. now under the terms of this deal assange will essentially get time served. he's been in a british prison since 2019 since he was charged and has been fighting extradition to the united states. he was he was opposed to presenting himself to a federal court in the continental united states, according to a letter that was just filed in federal court inside pan. >> so evan interesting political layers to this. he has become a political lightning rod. the assange case for quite some time, trump is implied is a political prisoner it's said that he would seriously considering pardoning him if he wins. how controversial is this assange decision coming at this time from the biden administration? given the fact again that what this goes back to is his role in one of the largest breaches of american classified material and history right? >> exactly. and for those reasons, there was a lot of
4:23 pm
opposition within the justice department within the fbi about any deal to send him back to australia without at least some kind of resolution of the charges here in the united states. and so what i'm told is the fact that he is going to plead guilty to a felony, obviously has assuaged some of those concerns, but erin absolutely as you pointed out, this is a deal that also he was he was indicted during the trump administration. so the former president has been on all sides of this yes. >> an important to point that out. alright. evan, thank you very much. and also tonight i, don't appreciate your tone. those are the exact words from the trump-appointed judge, aileen cannon. she was scolding the prosecutor in the mar-a-lago classified documents case today, also today appearing skeptical about placing a gag order on former president trump in the case. a gag order that two other judges notably not appointed by trump had imposed on him and other cases. well, today is the second of three days of hearings. canada is calling for these hearings are on various
4:24 pm
issues. the basic legality of the special counsel's appointment is actually one of them that is a question that other courts have refused to even take up. this is all coming in a case the judge cannon has delayed indefinitely. there is no trial date and that has come much to the delight of donald trump out front. now, conservative lawyer george conway. so george just to start with this gag order hearing, as they pointed out, there is a gag order. in other cases. and again, today, judge aileen cannon refusing to impose one in this one, how significant is that? >> well, i think it's it's disturbing. i think it's disturbing in that the dependent here, a criminal, a convict actually went out and made statements that were so inflammatory. they presented a danger to fbi agents. the made statements through his campaign that he, the government am, i trying to assassinate him and given his history, given the fact that he was held in contempt of court ten times in the new york case, given the
4:25 pm
fact that he's already a convicted felon, given the fact that he was subject to a gag order in the dc case before judge chutkan and given the fact that he incited an insurrection on january 6, 20 and he 21 would seem to be there are very compelling case which in which the court should consider fashioning some kind of an order designed to restrict his ability to make statements. i think if he had been any other defendant let alone one with such a megaphone and let alone with such a track record, let alone, but convicted felon i think he might already be in jail. the order might have already been entered modifying his conditions of relief, at least any probably would've violated already. so it's really, really hard to understand her skepticism here. i understand it can be difficult to draft these orders and to make them clear and make them consistent with the first amendment. but here, there are that's the judge's job. >> if the job yes so let me ask you these hearings because now there's a whole bunch of them, right second of three days of
4:26 pm
hearings on various topics, including whether jack smith should even be allowed to be a special counsel or not, right? >> whether that's even constitutional when you take a step back and i know, obviously your feelings on judge cannon's behavior all the way through this, but are any of these hearings in your view, would any of them or any of them necessary would any of them be heard by another judge? >> well, i think the motion to disqualify or to hold the special counsel's appointment was unconstitutional. i mean, that might might have warranted like a 30 minute hearing. it certainly didn't warn an all day hearing. it certainly didn't warrant the introduction of amicus curiae. both briefs and argument. and it certainly i mean, it's just a meritless argument the definition of what an inferior officer is, is somebody who reports to somebody else. and if you're an inferior officer under the constitution, which the special counsel clearly is because by regulations created by the attorney general, he reports to the attorney general and can be removed by the attorney general. there's just
4:27 pm
no question. then under the constitution, the united states senate confirmation isn't not require and the notion that she spent all day fussing around with this is absurd, particularly, there's there's an on-point dc circuit opinion where the dc circuit roundly rejected the challenge to special counsel molars appointment of years ago. >> so let me ask you because i know that if she were to rule against jack smith in these cases, faces or his appointment that would give him a chance to move to have her removed. you might succeed. this case could continue. i saw something interesting though that was a little bit different. i wanted to ask you that georgia was a professor at george washington law school. >> it was a tweet and i was reading it, wanted to get your thoughts so he had another suggestion for the doj to work around cannon issue rules. >> smith was constitutionally not constitutional usually i appointed and he can't serve so he said it says the government should, should not appeal instead, have the us attorney in florida refile the same charges in a new case. hope the case is reassigned to a different judge and then have special counsel prosecutors designated as special assistant
4:28 pm
u.s. attorneys in florida to continue their prosecution of trump. he says that but end up being a much quicker process. what do you make that argument i mean, i think it's an interesting gambit and actually randi eliason and i had an exchange about this on x and i think the problem with his suggestion is that the next case that would be filed by the the us attorney in lu of the special counsel could also easily under the local rules, as i read them, go to judge cannon because there arguably would be it would be efficient to have the same judge handle that next case. >> let's leave a part the question of whether or not she's competent and biased. so the argument on the professor eliason is suggesting is that the rule only applies to the assignment of cases where there's an existing present case already before the court, but i think the rule actually could go beyond that. and so i
4:29 pm
wouldn't i'm not all sure that that professor license gambit would work all right. >> well, i appreciate this context to it. it's an interesting idea to consider as we are, we are in this sort of alice in wonderland world where these are the kinds of conversations were happening all right, george, thanks, great to see you. thank you next with over 50 years of practice biden has had is ups and downs on the debate stage with all due respect, that's a bunch of malarkey one of his favorite words plus trump facing new backlash tonight after proposing what he's calling a migrant league of fighters, ufc style did read this did i get where my keys memory and thinking issues keep piling up. it may be due to a buildup of amyloid plaques in the brain visit more than normal aging aging.com why choose asleep number smart bad. >> can it keep me warm when i'm cold wait, no, i'm always hot. sleep number. does that

his pension for gaffes and the los angeles times said, in addition to his uncontrolled verbosity biden is a gaffe machine. can you reassure if voters in this country that you would have the discipline you would need on the world stage yes thank you, senator biden mourned during dense that still haunt his reputation. >> my ancestors who worked in the coal mines in northeast pennsylvania, new come up after 12 hours and play football for four hours. >> from nearly 40 years ago when he was accused of plagiarism on the debate stage. >> it's because they didn't have a platform upon which to stand and many believed that that debate performance in those accusations of plagiarism was what song kiss first bid for the white house. now, fast forward nearly 40 years later here aaron, this debate he's facing one of a kind for him. he has acknowledged in the past that he says all debates are
4:37 pm
tough and certainly this will be no exception. tomorrow we will be looking at former president trump and his past debate performances over the years. >> all right, sunland. thank you. and that of course, is tomorrow night here tonight now, those cnn anchor chris wallace, who's been covering politics for decades moderating debates, including, we heard your voice, their chris, of course, because you were involved in the trump biden debate. the last one in 2020. so covering biden a long time and let's just start that last soundbite that sunland played. a biden that too many is not even recognizable, but that gives a sense of how long he has been doing this, you know, 40 plus years he has been doing debates. what strikes you the most about his debating style? >> well, what strikes me most just watching all of those clips and good evening, aaron is how much he quite frankly has aged even from 2020, when you watch him and the debate with swale well, and kamala harris back in 2020, he's definitely the years i'm
4:38 pm
taking something of a toll and i think it's gonna be one of the biggest issues people talk about his mental acuity has physical vigor. i think so often and one experience i've had from almost 50 years of covering presidential debates. it's often not your people aren't sitting there with a legal patterns i'm well, here are the pluses for this candidate and here are the pluses for that candidate. they're just getting a sense and that's one of the things people have gotta get a sense from joe biden on thursday night that he's up to the job for four more years. >> and you talk about the change in his physical appearance and his i guess just even his his his his ability to hang in there and that honestly, chris is what we hear from everybody. i don't think anybody watching hasn't heard that from people they talk to. however, there's also this conversation out there about, well, maybe trump is just as bad, but in a different way and no one's looking at it the same way. i mean, he makes a lot of gaps. he makes a lot of nonsensical cul-de-sac statements that we even read
4:39 pm
them are completely there's absolutely no point that anyone can ascertain from them. here's some examples the biden border will well, you know this right the biden border bill. >> did you just see maduro, venezuela unbelievable. we are a nation should that just recently heard that saudi arabia and russia will repeat will be reducing is a man. >> viktor orban, did anyone ever hear of him? >> he's probably like one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world and he is the leader of all right, he is the leader of turkey. nikki haley, you know. do you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything deleted a destroyed all of it. all of it because of lots of things like nikki haley is in charge of security and obviously chris just a point in a nikki haley, you met nancy pelosi viktor orban's. he meant hungry, not turkey. they're were some
4:40 pm
slurring their lately there's been sort of stories he's been telling about water. you've probably seen them on twitter and how nobody has any water and he goes on this long thing about washing machines and showers and something. and it literally is nonsensical do you think people just see that differently because he presents it with so much energy yeah. >> i mean, luck. >> as we see the debate and what you're going to sit there and watch it together. >> i'm happy to say on thursday night you know, people will get a sense but optics are important. i mean, if somebody makes terrible misstatements are terrible gaps, that's part of it, but also just physical optics and there's no question that biden presents strong, stronger, younger, more energetic, even though as you point out out he has had his share of gaps just to give you an example, though the first presidential debate in 1960 between kennedy and nixon, nixon's greatest strength was that he had been vice president for eight years, that he had an
4:41 pm
experience gap of gravitas gap over john kennedy. they went into that first debate. kennedy had a dark tan. he had a dark suit against a gray background. he looked terrific. nixon was still recovering from a serious staph infection. it lost ten pounds. he was sweating, his eyes were shifty and the gravitas gap went right out the window in that one debate. and i don't think nixon never recovered that's it. so often and i've been covering this debates, not since 1960, although i watched that one, but since 1980 and so often it's not some big declaration of policy are some great choice of words. it's just your sense of who do i've feel more comfortable running the country for the next four years particularly with, as we say, this is down to about 6% of the voters and six swing states. and were a lot of us have made up our minds because of issues
4:42 pm
these guys, these voters haven't particularly, and a lot of it'll just be their impression of who they feel more comfortable with that the end of those 90 minutes, i mean, it is it is really incredible and you talk about that nixon moment. i mean, right. studied in schools and every sign of constitutional class, right? everyone studies at that moment, right? as it telling moment for the power of television you know, just thinking here about biden today, i've mentioned coming into you about these ads calling trump criminal and a felon. and they have hinted his campaign, kris that he's going to bring this up at the debate. but 34 felony counts i don't know how he would do it, calling them a felon do you how do you think that will play? because i'm thinking about moments like that in the context of there being no audience well, the problem with that from biden's point of view, as you certainly can and probably will bring that up. >> but of course then the president, president trump, can hit back on hunter biden and
4:43 pm
his convictions and the biden crime family. i said suspect that there will be a lot of moments of serious policy in this debate. and i think they're also going to be some moments that are gonna make people quite uncomfortable with just how personal and mean it gets that's just the nature of these of these two candidates. and the fact that they've had so much experience with each other. and frankly, both of them have some vulnerabilities that can be hit. >> right. and they they truly, truly despise each other. i mean, it's hard to hide that when you're in front of a camera for 90 minutes, they will be heat with no one else in the room. >> all right. thanks so much, chris and force be with you next. we're going to take you to one community that essentially straddles the us border with mexico. >> and what they're seeing tonight will surprise you. plus, it is the most expensive democratic primary ever, one that is putting some of the biggest names in politics like hillary clinton and aoc against it each other who will win with
