chair good to have you. with us where u.s. president joe biden is fighting for his political life as the latest new york times poll shows him losing even more ground to donald trump donors, democrats in congress, and even some in the white house a raising serious concerns about whether mr. biden can recover from his disastrous debate performance last week arizona's roll grijalva is now the second house democrat to call on the president to exit the race. >> it's also running for reelection himself he says, if biden's the candidate, quote, i'm going to support him, but i think that this is an opportunity to look elsewhere what he needs to do is shoulder the responsibility for keeping that seat and part of that responsibility is to get out of this race for his part, president biden will take part in a pre-recorded primetime interview with abc news on

friday on wednesday he spoke with several radio hosts and a bad night is in fact of the matter is that i said i screwed up. i made a mistake that's 90 minutes on stays. look, what i've done in three 3.5 years the white house insists mr. biden is absolutely not stepping aside, but it's struggling with other questions about the president's health. cnn's mj lee reports president joe biden trying to save his teetering reelection campaign after keeping a limited public schedule for days following his disastrous debate performance last week, the president emerging to try to reassure panicked supporters, biden rallying his campaign staff on a call telling them, quote, i'm running, i'm the nominee of the democratic party. no one's pushing me out. i'm not leaving. i'm in this race to the end, but this a cnn is

learning that the president has privately acknowledged this week that the next stretch of days will be critical to whether he can save his candidacy, an ally who spoke with biden on tuesday telling cnn that the president was chastened and blamed himself, not his staff, for his poor debate performance. >> the covid excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with the allies saying biden is clear-eyed about what it would look like if his efforts to save his campaign were to fail. >> the polls are plummeting. the fundraising is drying up, and the interviews are going bad. lee meanwhile, the white house struggling to answer a barrage of questions about the president's health and medical records. if now is not the time for full transparency when we have been one of the most transparent i'd administration when it comes to medical records, the white house also confronting questions about biden's new explanation for his halting debate performance, jet and fatigue from two foreign trips, despite having had nearly two weeks back in the states before the cnn

debate, when he travels a board, it's a pretty rigorous to travel. we get tired looking get him doing his meetings and traveling the white house and campaign had previously blamed a cold. i was so focused on the call on the cold and that's what i kind of leaned into and talked about. but yes, his scheduled did have something to do with it was the schedule and the cold one of biden's first major tests coming on friday when he sits down for an extended tv interview. biden also beginning to call democratic leaders like chuck schumer, hakeem, jeffries, and chris coons and president biden, hosting a group of democratic governors here at the white house wednesday night you have the governor's coming out afterwards to tell reporters that they had had honest conversations about the need to defeat donald trump and the path forward in the 2024 campaign. and one of the governor's tim walz of minnesota said that the group was all in on pledging their support for president biden this was a large group of governors, so we will see

whether that is in fact the case that every single one of the governors that met with the president wednesday night is in fact, all in mj lee cnn at the white house ron brown stone as cnn senior political analyst and the senior editor for the atlantic. >> he joins me now from los angeles, good to have you with us hi rosemary. so president joe biden is fighting for his political survival after days of mounting pressure to step aside following his dismal debate performance last thursday, calls from big donors and elected democrats. so for mr. biden to be replaced are getting louder and more public can he survived this mounting pressure you know, there are a lot of democrats, the democrats skeptical of biden, who have been, i guess, optimistic as the word that he cannot survive this pressure that ultimately he will be convinced or compelled to make the choice to

get out of the race. >> but that is not entirely clear. i mean, you know, his his language today was surprisingly defiant there are still very few democrats and the inner circle of the party, party who are willing to say publicly what i think many, many of them believe privately, which is the president's performance in the debate is not something that he can recover from. in part because he went into the debate trailing and needed to improve. and instead lost ground significantly according to the polls. but also because the debate didn't come out of nowhere, it it reaffirmed for many voters one of their deepest concerns about about biden going forward, which is that he's too old for the job. i mean in that new york times poll today, not only did donald trump have his biggest lead ever at any point, i think since he became a national figure. but 74 4% said they thought biden was too old to be president 84% of people under

45 said he was too old, over 80% of the people voting for third-party candidates, which is presumably his best option for growing the votes are acquiring the votes of these to overtake trump's. so there are a lot of anxiety and the democratic party, not everyone believes it's the biden is doomed, but i think that is the dominant view, is that it is almost impossible for him to recover from this and people are still uncertain what he is going to do. >> so, if president biden fights on and survives, these next few days as he is saying, he will do, is the race for him essentially over has already handed victory to his rival donald trump. if he decides to remain in the race well, look, i mean donald trump's survived the access hollywood tape in 2016. >> so it's hard to say in american politics, it's over until it's over. and in fact, part of the problem that biden's critics have is that when now trump said he could choose somebody on fifth avenue and not lose any votes. he

wasn't really only speaking for himself. he was speaking to some extent for both parties we are so dug in at this point it full-scale collapse is not really a possibility anymore that what biden, what the democratic strategists and elected officials and donors and advocacy group heads who i've talked to in the last few days are concerned about is, as i said, biden went into this debate traveling he was the one who needed to shake up the dynamic, needed to change the trajectory of the race and if he stays in the race, it is hard to see what could allow him to not only overcome the new damage that he's done, but even if he does that, what is now gonna give him the boost that the debate was supposed to do to overcome the initial deficit that he faced, rosemary i am aware of post-debate polling done by democratic or liberal groups in michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin, three states that he almost

certainly needs to sweep to win that happen as him down six to seven points. this week. and that is a very, very big hill in a country as polarized as ours. yeah, those are tough numbers and ron, one of the biggest democratic donors, netflix, co-founder reed hastings told the new york times, wednesday that president biden needs to step aside to allow a more vigorous democratic leader to beat trump is kamala harris that person if mr. biden, does decide to step down or is there another candidate better placed perhaps to do that? >> well, this is a dynamic that i think it's surprising and is moving very quickly, which is that i think if president biden does step down there are many of the same people who are worried about his viability are also concerned that harris cannot win either. and then in particular, she would struggle to win enough white working class voters to hold onto those three critical states in the

rust belt, michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin. but despite those concerns, i think she has the opportunity if biden steps down to consolidate this race much more quickly and comprehensively than would have seen possible there's a demand side. there is an opening in theory because i think as i said, there are a lot of democratic strategist and activist who are considered turn that she can win. i'm not sure there's a supply opposition to her in that it may be that none of the other top tier candidate potential top-tier candidates, like the governors of illinois and michigan, pennsylvania, and california will view it as viable for their own long-term future to run against the first woman of color who has been on a national ticket. what that would mean for their future relations with black and female constituencies in the democratic party. so it's possible and maybe even likely at this point that if biden gets out, the party will

consolidate behind her to a much greater sentencing possible. only a few days ago. that is something that is clearly moved quite a bit in the last few days ron brown stain in los angeles. many thanks for your analysis. appreciate it thanks for having me donald trump's legal team is looking to use monday supreme court ruling to their advantage in his multiple criminal cases. the historic ruling says the former us president enjoys absolute presidential immunity for his core constitutional powers. cnn's paula reid has details after monday, supreme court decision, a lot of attention was paid to what the justices said about when a former president cannot be charged criminally, what charges would be barred from absolute immunity, but less attention was paid to what the justices said about what kind of evidence you can use and how official acts can, in most cases not be used as evidence to support charges. >> now, this was an unexpected

gift for the trump team and something they're really going to drill down on in the next few months now what comes to the federal cases. they believe that this provision in the opinion about evidenced needing to be excluded if it's connected to official acts, they believe that can help them attack the mar-a-lago documents case, perhaps even more effectively than they can the january 6 case, which is of course what kicked off the supreme court case now, in the mar-a-lago documents case they will argue that they will be able to exclude any evidence related to how those documents that came to be in trump's possession, how they got packed in boxes at the white house and that requires a pretty expansive view of the supreme court's opinion without will be the focus of litigation will likely happen even before they are able to start fighting in the january 6, case because that case is unlikely to begin proceedings until early august. none the january 6 case, they're also going to be trying to exclude any conversations trump had with top advisers while he was in the white house until they'll try to exclude anything that happened before trump left the white house. again, unclear if

there'll be successful, but that is going to be their focus when it comes to the state cases we've already seen them really hone in on this idea that certain evidence related to official acts should be excluded in new york, they've already gotten trump's sentencing for his conviction on hush money charges, delayed as they we'll litigate how the supreme court opinion applies to that case, to that trial. they will specifically argue that testimony by hope hicks, from times when she was in the white house with trump, that that should have been excluded, as well as certain tweets that were entered in as evidence. again, not clear. that's going to get them a new trial, but that's gonna be their focus and they've already successfully gotten his sentencing delayed until the fall now, when it comes to the other state case down in georgia, that case is currently pause. now, if it resumes, that will likely take long enough for that to happen, that they will have already seen how certain judges are interpreting the supreme court's opinion, and they will likely have a roadmap that exactly how they can use the supreme court case to try to attack that case as

evaluating the latest response from hamas after it was delivered by qatari and egyptian mediators, hamas says it dealt with the proposal, quote positively and repeated its demand for a complete ceasefire and withdrawal pool of israeli forces from gaza israeli officials believed the latest response from hamas will enable the two parties to begin negotiating the specific details of a deal israeli negotiators are set to meet with the country's political leadership, including the prime minister over the coming days to decide on next steps. a group of us government employees who publicly resigned in protest of the biden administration's gaza policies, released a joint statement explaining their decision this week, it says, and i'm quoting both our individual and common experiences demonstrate an administration it has prioritised politics over just and fair policy making. profit

over national security falsehoods, over facts directives, over debate ideology over experience and special interest over the equal enforcement of the law. the impact of these injustices has resulted in tens of thousands of innocent palestinian lives taken reflecting a clear picture to the world of whose lives matter and they added, we encourage you to keep pushing. there is strength in numbers and we urge you to not be complicit lily greenberg call and merriam hasn't been are former biden administration appointees. marion resigned her position at the department of the interior, choose de over the administration's policies in gaza. and in mae, lilly became the first jewish american appointee to resign and they join me now from washington. thank you both for being with us thanks for having us so lily, i want to start with you.

>> why did you decide that you needed to sign open letter along with other us officials? he resigned over the war in gaza, especially given you are jewish american i think there's a lot of power as a collective and i i i chose to resign in part because i felt that the administration leadership without listening to myself and my colleagues, because there is wide spread dissent from all levels and all agencies within the administration. >> and this group of resignation so far the 12 of us who formed this collective and sign this letter, we are inter agency. we are interfaith, interethnic there's a variety of ages and levels of seniority, and i think that's really reflective of the widespread dissent within the administration. >> and mariam, why was it important to you to make your views known and to resign your government position over the vitamin policies in gaza high

definitely think that we all have a responsibility to speak out against a against wrong and ultimately, i really felt it necessary because i saw month after month, this horrible policy that truly was harming palestinians in palestine and also palestinians at home it through, through the administration's language and really the kind of perpetuation of dehumanizing tropes palestinians at home. we're have been subject to hate crimes. so really, i think there was just a lot on the line and ultimately, i really was inspired by the student movement. the students who really sacrificed a lot in the sense of they're academic and

professional careers. i was inspired by that and i took a look at what i can sacrifice and what i can do to advocate for four palestinians and to advocate for a better approach to alleviate this crisis. >> and lilly, what is it that you would like to see the biden administration do when it comes to israel and its war in gaza. and do you recognize that there has already been some pushback against benjamin netanyahu? but clearly you don't think that's sufficient no, i don't i don't think that the administration is using all of the leverage at its disposal to bring about an immediate and permanent ceasefire and a change in the status quo of apartheid, an occupation that got us to this place of this cycle of violence that harms palestinians and ultimately also harms israelis i, think there the ceasefire deal that

is on the table is a good first step. but if the president is serious about a ceasefire, that he also needs to stop the flow of offensive weapons to israel. he can't say that he's serious about peace. and then continue giving israel the weapons that multiple outlets including cnn and have confirmed have been used to massacre innocent civilians, people, and displaced persons camps who've been displaced from their homes and other parts of gaza and who are now in rafah, in these horrible conditions. so i think the first thing is to stop the offensive, stop the flow of offensive weapons to israel, use all of the leverage that the u.s. has to push for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and hostage exchange. and then some of the things that we articulated in his letter include changing us policy to include support for the self-determination of palestinian people on an end to military settlement and expansion in the west bank expansion of humanitarian aid and committing funds to rebuilding gaza. i think that's a moral obligation of

the united states after supplying the weapons that have been used to destroy gaza, we want stronger oversight and accountability mechanisms within the executive branch. and here at home, maryanne mentioned there have been hate crimes against palestinians. there has been police brutality directed at student protesters we want there to be a real focus on freedom of speech and assembly for people who are exercising their first amendment rights and protesting the u.s. us involvement in israel's war crimes. >> lily greenberg, cool, and merih mhealth thank you so much for joining us. appreciate it thanks again for having us take care and we'll be right back sunday dr. sanjay gupta reports on hold for the devastating effects of alzheimer's reversing something that seems so preordained. it sounds it's extraordinary. >> dr. sanjay gupta report, the last alzheimer's patient

are already gaming out potential ways to replace prison biden as the party's nominee. cnn's brian taught has that story you, president biden leaves the race, analysts say it would almost certainly have to be his decision to bow out voluntarily. it's unlikely that if joe biden does not step down voluntarily and that there would be a different nominee at the top of the ticket if he doesn't voluntarily leave someone in the democratic party could try to replace them by introducing an open nomination process at the democratic national convention in august. but that scenario is unlikely. still, even if the president decides on his home to quit the race, the process for replacing him is uncertain and somewhat messy. >> the primaries are over the caucuses are over. you can't redo the primaries or caucuses. you can elect new delegates if biden steps aside before the convention, it could turn the convention itself into a free for all, or at least make it full of entry, name because of

replacements would be put forward and the roughly 3,900 democratic delegates from across the country would decide who to vote for as the nominee. oh, it's up to the delegates in the end. it's up to them to president biden won almost all of those 3,900 delegates in the primaries. but does he have control over who they support if he's out of the race? >> it's not like joe biden can say. okay, i'm stepping down. all of you delicate says signed on for me half two now support this other candidate, but that's not how works those delegates would essentially be free to move. and the way they want. like the days of old backroom deals and lobbying could prevail at the convention as potential nominees tried to convince the delegates to get behind them in the end, how many of the 3,900 delegates would a candidate have to win at the convention to get the nomination? >> ultimately, they we'd have to convince somewhat somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 plus democratic delegates to vote for them on a roll call vote. >> if no candidate can convince

roughly 2000 delegates to vote for them in the first round, then additional so-called superdelegates about 700 of them comprised of party insiders and elected officials are also allowed to join in the voting. it would all mean a late start for any candidate including in the money race. if vice president kamala harris won the nomination, she would presumably be able to use biden's campaign war chest because her name is on all the filings but any other candidate may have to raise their own money. what happens if president biden for some reason leaves the race after the democratic convention, experts say in that likely event, the democratic national committee would convene and select the democratic nominee for president on its own. bryan todd, cnn washington a series of highly publicized safety issues have rocked boeing leading to us congressional investigations of the company and its leadership now, a former quality control manager is speaking out alleging the plane manufacturer routinely

took unsafe parts from a scrap yard and put them onto factory assembly lines in his first network tv interview, a 30 year veteran of the company told cnn what he says was there's an elaborate off the books practice used to meet production deadlines. >> cnn's pete montane has more if everett washington as a boeing company town, then mural myers was accompany man is a 30 veteran of boeing. meyer says his job as a quality control manager, pudding his kids through college. it's a family tradition is his late mother was a boeing inspector, able to unilaterally decide if a new airplane just off the factory line was fit to flights, what would she think about what is happening at boeing? she'd be absolutely livid. meyer's new allegations detailed an elaborate off the books looks practice, centering on parts deemed not safe to put in new airplanes. he is the latest whistleblower to come forward

with claims of quality control lapses at boeing. this is his first tv interview, inspired by the january 5 door plug blowout on an alaska airlines 737 max nine sprays he painted red bad parts deemed not up to boeing standards are taken from boeing's everett plant and sent to its scrap facility and auburn. but then one day in 2015, meyer says a crate, a bad parts or improperly sent back from auburn to boeing's everett factory? myers alleges the practice continued for years, tallying that more than 50,000 parts escaped boeing quality control. 50,000 parts. that's what we countered at the time. it seems like a heck of a lot. >> it's a heck of a lot indeed, what does that say to you? >> well, that says it puts people's lives at risk, not just passengers, but flight crews and a lot of these are flight critical parts that made it back into the production system. company emails show

myers repeatedly flagged the issue to boeing's corporate investigations team, pointing out what he says, we're repeat violations of boeing's safety rules but myers insists investigators routinely failed to enforce those rules in a 2022 email, he wrote that boeing investigators ignored eyewitness observations and the hard work done to ensure the safety of future passengers and crew. why would they do this? to schedule? schedule to get points out the door to make money yeah myers believes he was forced out of boeing last year and is concerned there are still problems at the company. >> well, i think they need to punish. they need to fire people that blatantly violate the process and endanger the flying public it's a huge problem. and a core a core requirement of a quality system

is to keep bad parts and good parts apart in a statement, boeing says it encourages employees to speak up and that to ensure the safety quality, and conformance of our products, we investigate all allegations of improper behavior, such as unauthorized movement of parts or ms handling documents. we then work diligently to address them and make improvements meyer says he is coming forward now because of the pride he has in boeing, he goes so far as to call it a wonderful company. one, he says has been going astray and is in desperate need of change but you have to care leadership has to care to do that. but if you can't even keep parts segregated from good parts, what else aren't you doing, right the mystery here is that we did not have an exact accounting of where these parts are. they ranged from the superficial, like fasteners to the critical wing flaps use for lando if these parts warrant

returned to the scrap yard, are whistleblowers worried that they ended up on new planes, delivered a airlines and other customers in the last decade or so, how big a deal is that also hard to know since we don't know exactly how or where they were used. but there is no question that these scrap parts should not have been put on planes. pete mondrian, cnn, washington in northern california, thousands have been ordered to evacuate as a large wildfire in butte county soaring temperatures have dried the vegetation, providing fuel for the fire. >> and those high temperatures are expected to continue into next week calendar before news governor gavin newsom has declared a state of emergency, cal fire reports, the thompson fire has grown to roughly 3,500 acres here's only 7% contained more than 1,400 firefighters working to put out the blaze

four have been injured. cnn stefanie eelam. is there i'm standing at lake oroville where the thompson fire is burning, where we've seen thousands of evacuations and thousands of acres burned. let me step out of the way so you can see here how quickly this fire has burned down into the lakefront area here, it's also burned through some homes, but what you also may notice is just how windy it is and that is part of the issue here, spreading fires, we've seen some places where the fire has burned down a house and right next door, the house is totally fine. what's also noteworthy is that hearing california, according to cal fire, we've seen a 1,600% increase in the number of acres burned so far this year versus last year. so you're talking about 7,500 acres burned at this time last year compared to more than 130,000 acres burned so far this year part of the issues the last two years have been very, very wet and that means that's given a lot of growth of vegetation that's the problem. fact, take a listen to

what cal fire says. this means for the fire this winter, we had a significant amount of rain, but with rain rowing's growth and the and the challenge with that is that fuels and vegetation continues to dry out. and in california that spells the next large wildfire. >> of course what, 4 july, the concern is fireworks, but here in oroville, they've canceled their fourth of july firework shows are bad pedaling displays. and throughout the state where fireworks are mainly banned in most places, they are very concerned that those spark other wildfires and take, take a look at this video from san francisco but which shows you how quickly this three acre blaze blew up because of an ember from a firework that went off. so they're asking people not to blow up any fireball her works at all. the issue as well is the heat and it is going to be over 105 degrees in several places as we are roasting out here in much of the west those dangerous temperatures, they're asking people to stay inside to keep their pets inside as well. stay cool. it is going to be
