up to the top of the food chain, which sharps the most commonly found item across the world by scuba divers is plastic fishing line. and that can create a tearing effect. you can create abrasions where it moves and starts to hurt sensitive marine organisms such as corals and animals can find themselves entangled once the debris has been safely removed, underwater what are we've sorted, we record it, and then we report it to our database over the past ten years of according data, we've actually moved more than two points three million pieces of marine debris around the world when diverse remove this, they're not only making the marine life underwater safer, governments can use that information to create new the policies that might prevent the spread of rain debris, especially plastics in their local community as scuba divers we are ocean optimists. we should not feel discouraged by the immensity of everything that's going on. but rather, we can take one small action at a time and we can make a big difference and don't miss
2:01 pm
discoveries as shark week hosted by john sina, summer's biggest holiday starts tonight on discovery and streams on max thank you so much for joining me today. >> i'm for greek a whitfield, the cnn newsroom continues with pamela brown right now you are in the cnn newsroom. i'm pamela brown and washington and we begin with breaking news tonight. the number of democratic lawmaker first calling for president biden to step away from his campaign is growing yet again, tonight, i'll president biden was campaigning and pennsylvania house democratic leader for ship held a meeting to discuss joe biden's future as a candidate. now this meeting was with ranking members. we have new details breaking this aber on who was on the call, who is now calling for president biden to step aside. i want to go straight to cnn's priscilla alvarez live right outside the whitehouse and brucella, we are
2:02 pm
both talking to our democratic sources on the hill and we're hearing that there are more members calling provided a step aside and notably, some of them are ranking members. tell us the latest yeah, let me put it to you quite simply, pamela, one of the sources that i spoke to said there were more people on this phone call explicitly saying that president joe biden should step aside as the candidate than those who spoke in favor of him saying that really captures where the democratic party is at right now. >> and it goes to show that those nerves that have been wracked over the last week since that cnn presidential debate have not yet been called all of this as president biden hits the campaign trail. in fact, just moments before we started learning about the details of this phone call, president biden, set of resounding? yes. when asked by the press if the democratic democratic party is standing behind him? but this phone call tells us that may not entirely be the case now, to give you a little bit of background as to what exactly this was. this was a call that was hosted by house
2:03 pm
democratic leader hakeem jeffries to give an opportunity for the ranking members to express their grievances. take the temperature of where they were at before everybody returns back to congress. this week. and over the course of that call is where some of these explicit statements were made about whether the president should remain as the democratic candidate. this year. now some of the names that have come up in our reporting, for example, as opposed to president biden being the nominee or for example, representatives adam smith's gym hines susan wild. we're also told democratic representatives, maxine waters and bobby scott. scott spoke in support of biden's. you can see that there were fractures over the course of this call, but one senior democratic guede telling our colleague jeff zeleny that it was pretty brutal now, there haven't been any decisions yet as to whether there will be a letter or a meeting with the president about this matter. but what it does tell us is that some of the leaders that are within the house of representatives are very much questioning whether
2:04 pm
president biden is a risk worth taking going into november, whether he should be the candidate and in calls and i have had one of the questions that comes up is, shouldn't this would be resolved before august? they don't want to be in a position where august comes around. president biden becomes the nominee and then they don't have a choice going into november. so clearly, despite the president going to wisconsin since despite his abc interview and despite him hitting battleground pennsylvania today, everyone still has a lot of questions as to whether the president should remain as the democratic candidate. and on that front, we're also learning that over the course of this call, there was support for the vice president kamala harris to be the candidate. if we get to that point i was speaking to one of my sources, a senior democratic house member just before the show. and this person said, look you're going to see the dam break on tuesday when hakeem jeffries meets with the caucus because the senses that what you just saw on this
2:05 pm
call is going to be on a wider scale during this meeting with more, if not, the majority of those in the room with hakeem jeffries we'll say biden isa, step down versus those who disagree with that. and that it will ultimately be up to hit kim jeffries on how to handle this and deal with this with a president who is clearly still very much a denial about where his party has given what he said today, priscilla yeah. the place that we've been in over the course of more than a week now since the debate is a lot of private concerns and text messages and calls we hear about from these democrats and allies about whether or not the president is up to the task of taking up, taking against former president donald trump come november. but what we're seeing now is that a lot of that opposition is becoming public. we're seeing statements in this phone call, for example, we have the names that i just mentioned about people who explicitly said that the president should step aside as the candidate. and what one source told me is that more
2:06 pm
house democrats are expected to say this week publicly that president biden should not be their nominee this election year. and so the friends that we will see this week, perhaps from last week, is that those private concerns are becoming public. and then the question is, how does the campaign swat that away and how does the president respond? because up until this point, he has been defined. in fact, during the abc interview, george stephanopoulos asked him, would you step aside if those in your leadership? hold you, that they would lose the house and senate. the president said, that's not going to happen. but what we're learning from our sources is that is very well a concern that they harbor and so how that is sort of dealt with and grappled with over the course of this next week is going to be critical because again, they will be here in washington and a lot of that private murmuring is going to become very public. >> and it's interesting given that context of what president biden was asked about, what
2:07 pm
would you do if democratic leaders come due and say you need to step aside? >> he came jeffries for his part is not showing his car cards, right now in terms of where he stands. what more can you tell us about that? yeah. he's really been a sounding board in this moment hearing what the concerns are of course, this was a call that was scheduled to do exactly that versus showing exactly where he is at. now, the president did speak with him last week along with other party leaders. so we don't quite know where he and other stand, but i do think it is notable that while these grievances are being aired, he is not reassuring them as far as we're told that the president is going to remain the nominee, a lot of that has really been on the president to say himself and the campaign and the interim, even then, including today, is signaling more campaign travel. so they are certainly not giving any indications of the president's stepping down. instead, they, for example, announced today that the president is going to las vegas later this month to also talk to two conferences
2:08 pm
targeting black and latino voters that on friday he's going to go to michigan where he's fourth battleground state since the debate. so what we have is two story lines playing out at the same time. democrats who are telling their leadership, we don't know if this is a safe bet to make and house leadership in the media anytime just taking those concerns in while the president, his campaign are signaling, were in this to win it and we are going to keep hitting the campaign trail to show you that the president is the best candidate. and in amid all of them as pamela, i think we should also note the nato summit is happening here. this week in washington. and so not only is the president wrestling with his own party over his candidacy, but he's also it's going to be talking to foreign leaders and whether or not concerns come up. there is another question entirely up until this point, the president has used his foreign policy chops as one of the main reasons that he should be he taking a second term. and so there are a lot of events that are still going to unfold this week from all different corners that i think are going to be quite critical in the trajectory of the brace all
2:09 pm
right. priscilla standby also want to bring nc and cnn correspondent hadas gold and josh dausy political investigations and enterprise reporting at the washington post. i want to get your reaction to this breaking news, josh, i want to start with you with what we're learning because we're now finding out that on this call with hakeem jeffries, you had from the reps marked de econo, adam smith, jim hims, joe morale, susan wild saying that they believe biden should step aside. that's just who we know of now for more reporting, again, there's more to learn, but apparently according to our reporting, there were more that we're saying the biden should step aside than stay at the top of the ticket. what picture is emerging to you through this reporting? >> bradley pam visit probable and growing frustration on my house democrats. and i think some of the senate as well how president biden's team has handled this they obviously did not think that performance, the
2:10 pm
beginning was good and there were some concerns after that. but what has happened really over the last we can have as its metastasized, i think he did dr. most members took the most democratic strategists the way they have not forcibly put it out there for five or six days at the beginning talking points that they sent that they did not view as sufficient. the lack of confidence i have in avus is being handled it seems to be bringing more and more people to the forefront. i inject a lot of democrats. zoe, my colleagues last week reporting and there were some and we're saying we should give him a little bit more of a chance on let's do some more events we don't want to be the first ones on the bandwagon, so to speak, to call for him to go but i think as the days go one, it seems to me from the reporting and what you're just saying now live on air. it's getting worse and not better politically for president by and one of the senior house democrats i spoke to just before coming on air.
2:11 pm
>> this person knowledge look this number can grow right? and it is growing as we're reporting. but the view is it's not going to move the needle for president biden unless you really have someone like nancy pelosi or hakeem jeffries, or a cli burn come to him and say it's time to step aside the view is that the numbers don't matter as much as the who, right? but at the same time, josh, some of these are ranking members that are now telling him to step aside at or viewing they're there opinion that he should step aside and when i'm hearing is that tuesday is really going to be a pivotal day when i came jeffries meets with his caucus. what are you hearing on that front yeah, i think that's right. >> i mean, they're back was week and there'll be confronted almost every member of congress will be confronted by a very feisty and hungry capitol press corps who will want to know exactly what they think about president biden going forward. i think this
2:12 pm
week will be i don't want seeing the numbers and how many we get. but you know, he's in the interview that he did with george stephanopoulos over the weekend on friday night, i guess president biden made clear that he did not care of the car from the stepper. zaidi said the only person who could do it was the lord almighty. now we all know pam ben and politics everyone says they're not going to do with thing that they don't want to do until they have to do it, right? and they say until the bitter end that they're not going to. so i guess we don't really know what he's going to do, but i think right now it's going to take a whole lot of people to move him out of this race and actually just looking at a quote from your excellent reporting with your colleagues the washington post. one biden aide said that he's focused on recovering, but i personally think he's still in the denial stage of grief and this attitude of denial is something david axelrod, former senior adviser to obama, echo when i interviewed him this morning, take a listen to what he said he seemed to deny where he is
2:13 pm
in the race he and he he seems not to grasp what is the big concern that people have. >> he hasn't come to grips with it he's not winning this race. he's more likely if you just look at the data and talk to people around the country political people around the country it's more likely that he'll lose by a landslide than when narrowly so to say that biden is not only going to lose the race, but lose it by a landslide hadas, that is a pretty extreme statement. it's a pretty extreme statement, but i think one of the ways that the white house could potentially try to push back on what we've seen in the media. all this kind of frenetic coverage about what could happen to the biden came as he is it's just by putting the candidate out there. we've seen him obviously do this abc news interview. it lasted 22 minutes. he still has not done some sort of big press conference and you would think the one of the first things you might do after that disastrous
2:14 pm
debate is put him in front of the report and say, listen, you know, that was a bad night, but look what he can do. he can stand in front of the white house press corps and take any and all of their questions at anytime we heard our own white house correspondent, mj lee asking the press contrary, wired. we've got a briefing room ready to go here. why aren't you bringing him out and having him talk to us? we have not seen them do this and actually, president biden has done the fewest press conferences in the last seven presidents, according to the, according to the data, when you look at it. and now this was happening even before the debate, but this is only being amplified by keeping the precedent arm's length away. i've been speaking to white house reporters now since that debate, there is a huge frustration from the amino they're getting battered down by people saying while you're reporting so much or overreporting on biden's age, your over-reporting this look at what the other guy is doing. look at president trump. well, they're saying, well, the white house is keeping him at an arm's-length give put them in front of us, let him answer the questions we are going to see him later this week at the native summit. answer bring the presses questions there's a huge frustration in the white house and the national press corps yeah. and it's interesting because senator
2:15 pm
murphy, of course, a biden ally at good what you're saying hadas in an interview this morning with my colleague dana bash saying, look, biden needs to be out there more. he needs to be interfacing with the public more. we need to see more examples of why he is still fit for office here. what he said i'm not advising this campaign, but if i were, i would probably suggest that the president get out there and do a town hall that he do a press conference that he showed the country that he is still the old joe biden, one of them best retail politicians in this country, has ever seen. president says, he can do that. i trust that he can. and i think this week is going to be really critical for him to answer those remaining questions. and let's just be honest, i think there are still questions out there in the minds of many voters and some of the frustration from biden supporters, priscilla, is that those questions were able to swirl and pick up momentum and steam over several days when the feeling was the white house wasn't doing enough to put biden out there. now you have
2:16 pm
supporters recommending for him to be more breasts have been getting out there. but the question is, priscilla, will that turn the tide for the president at a time when more and more house democrats, as we're reporting, are telling him to step aside. >> so i think we have to look at the timeline here after the debate. >> that was one of the immediate asks by allies with the president needed to get out there more and have unscripted and candid moments on the campaign trail. i've gone to a lot of these rallies and office ten times. the president is working off of a teleprompter. so his allies we're essentially saying we want to see you have those unscripted moments with people so that they can see what one called the old president joe biden, i think senator chris murphy said that and so now we're at a point it's been over a week and he hit the trail going went to a wisconsin again on friday. i can go in pennsylvania today and we started to see some of that. i think it was quite notable as i was watching him go through all of these jobs. he was it's trying to kind of go off the cuff a little bit
2:17 pm
more in the way that he talked at these campaign events. and in fact, in one campaign event earlier today and pennsylvania one of the supporters said, what we want to see, the dark brandon come back, that's in according that's that mean that she was referencing he said, quote, dark, brandon is coming back so you can get a sense there that they are taking in this advice and trying to put him out in those moments to have those candid moments, notably to the july campaign memo that they release that included his quote, aggressive travel schedule for the rest of the month also made mention of off-the-cuff moments, which was like a week you're you to allies. but again, we're more than a week out. we're going into the second week since that debate, and we're still hearing a lot of concerns from democrats. so i think it's perhaps too early to say among voters whether this makes a difference as we have talked about multiple times, voters are not often watching every campaign stop that. he makes. they were watching the debate. and so whether it really quals concerns, i think so remains an open question whether this shift in strategy that we saw
2:18 pm
play over the last three days can be maintained. but at this point, they're clearly trying think it's whether or not it makes a difference, right? let's talk about the voters because they're really at the heart of this. write it all matters. it all, it's all about the voters. it's all about whether the voters are going to to put joe biden back in the white house for a second term and beat trump to the dens. that's what this game is all about. so i want to play some sound from these grassroots voters who are still enthusiastically supported pretty biden. one time to stay atop the ticket. here's what some of them said obviously on that in the decision-making table to do that. >> but i think that especially based on well, as the bait and just a lot of other things that it may be time to pass the torch, but just seems like they're just not giving him a chance and i just think that they need to we're here all working together and i think it's almost seems personal. i love that she is a sister i
2:19 pm
loved that she promotes what it is to be a black woman in the united states, it might be a little bit controversial, but i'm all for it. you know, think she's prepared. she's been in the role has the experience and i think it was but probably make a lot of people happy to see a different take on the ticket. >> so of course the last couple of were talking about kamala harris and whether she would be a good fit for a top of the ticket. >> this was at an event recombinant harris was speaking yesterday, but josh, i'm just wondering you look at the poles and then you hear from these grassroots voters, how do you square? are the two what we're hearing on the ground, what we're hearing from those enthusiastic joe biden supporters at his rallies versus what we're seeing in the polls the brodmann democratic party has right now, is that even before the debate, joe biden was neck and neck and some polls, but for wasn't examples leading get a lot of the poles and he was not an extraordinarily strong position now you think further erosion. >> if you move him off the ticket, you probably will have
2:20 pm
a lot of his voters as some of the audio showed there, that would be disappointed. they could include depressed real i mean, we don't know that, but it could if you tried to have an open primary and you did not i'll make vice president kamala harris nominee that going to meet a lot of people you could have a solution here, i guess for them, that would work out and would be a more formidable candidate over joe biden. but either way you have a hue, it's a tricky, it's a tricky can conundrum for the democratic party. and i think for biden he has a lot of voters like you played there and a lot of ones that we've talked to. they still are with him but whether that's after p trump, i don't know. and that's what the republican, that's what the democratic party sort of has to grapple with it. there's numbers were already low if some of the poll numbers are going down now and they don't think he can win do you pull the rip cord here and risk alienating some of those people who maybe want biden say as and i'm an what do you think priscilla is kamala
2:21 pm
harris gain a dry run right now? so i've been talking to multiple sources about the vice president and what she thinks in this moment, what i hear the most is that the mandate among her for staff is to stay the course and just dispel any replacement theories and what she has said on the trail when she says that she stands behind the president an end to defend his and defending his record and not just his debate performance is reflective of where she is, but i also think it's significant that on july for the president was joined by the vice president on the balcony to observe the fireworks and they embraced and they held hands up in the air. and that is something but we have not seen since the president took office, he's always joined by his family, but he hasn't been joined by the vice president in the second gentleman who are often partaking in other july 4th engagement. so it was clear truly them trying to show a unified front and that is what i hear from sources, is that she is standing behind the
2:22 pm
president, but i will also know oh, that since january when the president, when the vice president, i should say, really hit the campaign trail, she took, she did that reproductive freedoms tour and then has since done more on economic opportunity city, among other issues. that was when the vice president that her her allies knew the best, it really came through, the prosecutor as they say, where she was forceful on the campaign trail and more people got to know her. whereas over the last three years, it was we often heard is where's the vice president and what is she doing so? over the last several months, she certainly has been on the trail a lot multiple times a week and it has allowed perhaps a reintroduction to voters, but that was all for the biden harris ticket. it wasn't because she herself was trying to replace the president in what we have heard from sources, what i've heard is that she is still very much unified with him. all right. priscilla alvarez hadas gold and josh dausy. thanks to you all for covering this breaking news coming in. now this sunday night, and we're going to stay on the top of this breaking news also tonight. a shocking

2:28 pm
celebrate treene just behind me. there are pam or the plaza lottery pubic, the riot police are on full force but beyond them on that central paris square are many thousands of people who've come to celebrate what was remarkable political alliance that was cobbled together in order to stop the far right for me able to he that end that you just mentioned of trying to become the biggest party in france's parliament at this is a coalition of left-wing parties, some of them far-left, some of the more moderate came together off to the far right's huge picture in the european elections that then led to the dissolution of parliament in the boarding of these snap parliamentary elections in order to ensure that i'm mean depends far-right. didn't achieve their goal and yet pam, what we saw in the first round of voting was the far-right national front national rally. i'm sorry, come first the left-wing alliance, second. and emmanuel macron's centrist, a distant third. what we've seen over the course of the last week of this extraordinary result that there's celebrating behind me here
2:29 pm
tonight is essentially a strategic voting on the part of those just report the left and those his report mecole centrist in order to defeat the parties still, i think it's important to note as did the national rally tonight at what should have been at celebration party turned in to something much more summer, but they still nurtured jw all done by the login president, the party who had hoped to become prime minister still noted that this election pam marks their biggest electoral success so far they have doubled the number of seats that they have in france's parliament and that for them is a huge victory still. >> all right, melissa bell. thank you so much. now, let's talk for with peter smaller, the washington correspondent for the french news outlet lead monte is also the author of a family's quests from minsk ghetto to netanyahu's israel, peter. what is your reaction to these shocking results? >> well listen. i'm turning 50 this year and i must tell you this is the craziest and most
2:30 pm
unexpected elections we've had in my lifetime, maybe in france, this is a complete earthquake to hold campaign for the last three weeks basically revolved around the threat of this a far-right government for the first time since the second world war and the threat was spoiled in a way that no one, no expert and no opinion polls predicted. and so this election was not really about political platforms, but more about fundamental values millions of french citizens basically chose their country. there vision for the country over partisan affiliation and the republic over exhibit four, big party who basically use this kid goats within the french society so basically two things happened. first, a huge turnout, over 67%. today, and the second, as you reported, rightfully in shunned, is a very solid republican front that was put in place between the first and the second round. what does it mean a republican from? it means that in around
2:31 pm
200 districts one of the three candidates qualified for the second round. basically, we drew his candidacy in order to beat the far right. so that's really amazing and that means that many people from the right, for example, voted for candidate from the left. and also the opposite. so the celebration of the left block is obviously understandable. this is a delightful surprise for them to be in the deed but but this block of leftist parties is not very coherent and it does not have an absolute majority in the u.s. the magic number is 270. obviously, 270 electoral votes in france, you have to get 289 nps 289 seats in the national assembly in order to have a comfortable and stable majority no one has that majority today. >> so then what's an act and
2:32 pm
what does this mean for president emmanuel macron well, that's a good question. >> i mean, the reality right now tonight is that we have injured totally uncharted territory. we just don't know what is going to happen. and that doesn't happen very often on an election night in france. so basically there are two scenarios first one is scales and still meet that would mean that no coalition appears. there's no real majority to govern. and basically there's a hung parliament for the next year before emmanuel mco, mike identity, the soul the national assembly again, the second scenario would be a sort of miracle by french norms. and that would be, uh, rainbow coalition that stretch from the left than the greens to the center right. but there are many parts in this hypothesis, big because that project could break the left block that adjust one today and living
2:33 pm
hossein salami is that's the controversial policy of tropic made. i'll show on the site. there are other problems do the left part is my ask, for example, a manual mecole in order to form that rainbow coalition to abandon two of his key reforms, which is the pension reform and also the law on immigration. and i'm not sure emmanuel macron was ready to go that way. >> yeah. we'll see how this all shakes out peter smaller. thank you so much the evacuation orders are piling up along the texas coast as officials, they're bad people hey, their warnings about tropical storm beryl before it's expected arrival as a hurricane tomorrow tonight. dr. sanjay gupta reports on hold for the devastating effects of alzheimer's reversing, something that seems so preordained itself it's extraordinary. >> dr. sanjay gupta reports the last alzheimer's patient tonight at eight on cnn this summer snacking just got

this location and port lavaca within the next coming hours, we've had these intermittent outer rain bands from beryl already inundating us with water. now, there are a you positive's going forward. this will be a fast-moving storm. it is also a storm that's going to coincide with low tide. so that could minimize the storm surge potential. but of course there will be wind impacts. so let's get right to the forecast and talk about what's coming at us. we have a storm system with 65 mile per hour wind since, but it's got a defined center of circulation and that means that it's tapping into these warm gulf of mexico waters. there are three degrees fahrenheit above where they should be this time with here. so that's like jet fuel for rapidly intensifying are strengthening hurricanes. now the forecast track from the national hurricane center still has this category one intensity, but it does state that it could reach category to intensity before landfall, even so it's not explicitly shown on the graphics. now, in terms of storm surge, they have just updated the values right where

2025. >> that's a proposed overhaul of the federal government drafted by conservative group of former administration officials and longtime allies we are in the process of the second american revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be project 2025 lays out a right-wing wish-list or policy changes that it once during a second trump term, such as expanding presidential powers and cracking down on abortion rights, joining us now is former adviser to vice president mike pence, olivia troye. >> hi, olivia. so what do you think about trump distancing himself from project 2025, given the fact that former officials that were in his administration are part of this, do you believe him? >> hi pam will no. i mean, look, this is preposterous if you look at the collaborators and the authors of this plan a lot of these people came from directly people that served in
2:46 pm
trump's cabinet during his administration. there are people that i worked with. it i sent and policy meetings with they were a lot of people were senior administration officials whether it be jonny makin team is in charge of stepping for presidential personnel, or whether it be stephen miller who's behind the scenes pulling the strings on this as well. but you've got ben carson listed in here. you have the former deputy secretary of dhs, the acting secretary. ken cuccinelli elian here writing about integration and dhs. so then ben carson, come on, he's been out there on the campaign trail with the president. so i think this is just ludicrous, but i think what this is telling us is that donald trump knows that what is written in this plan is so extreme that it is damaging to his possibility of getting elected. and that's what he's he's concerned about. project 2025 for those who don't know is over 900 pages long but it does give very specific instructions on how to replace federal jobs with political appointees
2:47 pm
dismantle the department of education, other federal agencies expand executive power and banned the abortion pill, mifepristone nationwide is this a winning strategy for conservatives? >> now, i don't think so. i mean, look, i am a conservative-leaning into visual eye. i'm a lifelong republican but when i think of the traditional tenants of the gop, i think of fiscal conservatism. i think of individual liberties. and quite honestly, if you go through and really read through this plan this is complete overreach by the federal government on our individual liberties. and i just want to be clear, two women and men who support women and are individual right to health care. i know that we all have differing views on it. i certainly link conservative on it, but there's language in here that says liberal states and become sanction she worries for abortion, tourism. that is how this document is written. and so when you think about
2:48 pm
policy meetings and the trump administration should that happen again, which should he come back to office? i want people to view the type of language it's going to be sending these meetings because to me tourism doesn't enter my mind when i think about women who are having trouble having beef, giving childbirth, who are actually leaving states right now to be able to access health care. i don't think about that as tourism. and this is the type of rhetoric that is in this document. but i think people need to be paying attention because they are not messing around when it comes to this. and we should believe them. and so you noted that to that president of the heritage foundation, which by the way isn't think tank that i used to go to, especially as a college student and in my summer internships and as someone who worked at the rnc i used to go there and take some of their courses and attend some of their stomates. when he says that it's you know, with the left say silent. it's not just the left. it has a problem with this. pamela, a tuple moderate conservatives like myself, who take a look at some
2:49 pm
of the extreme language in here. when it either health care again, or whether it comes to immigration, whether they talking about law enforcement and how they're going to use federal law enforcement and local states and local cities and states with no oversight because there's limited oversight when they use, when they do that they've learned all the lessons during the first trump term. and that is what it's frightening here. and so i think we need to be paying attention minutes and no amount of distancing by donald trump should be believed because the authors and the collaborators are all part of this operation that's been behind him from even the first terms of his administration so how can they deny that? i sat in these policy making meetings with these people? i know what we value. that is why we value your you're in sites in your perspective on this really important topic, olivia troye. thank you so much for your time. we'll still ahead back to our breaking news. several top house democrats call on biden to step aside ms campaign during a leadership call
