when that the father read the names? it was not in the script for him to pause and have the audience read the names and to a person, they read the names out loud and you could see the emotion on the family's faces, the tears coming down the lips, quivering. it was pretty impactful. >> mary well, i appreciate the point that president biden has made a mistake when it comes to these families. >> obviously, kasie, as you mentioned, former president trump has had his own. one thing i would say, i mean, as brad says, conventions about storytelling, and certainly both whether it's a republican convention or democratic convention moments when we honor the sacrifice of people who have lost their loved ones, particularly these goals star families, which again, you'll see that at the democratic convention i hope it's a moment that brings us together as americans to recognize that there are people who are out there fighting for us who make that ultimate sacrifice. >> its part of why i wanted to make sure we touched on it today on the show, i have to say, alright, thank you all for

being here this morning. i really appreciate it. thanks to all of you for joining us. i'm kasie don't go anywhere. cnn news central starts right now good morning, everyone. >> i'm kate bolduan in milwaukee, wisconsin, live at the republican national convention where tonight donald trump is set to officially accept the republican nomination for president last night, his vp pick, jd vance, made his big debut, leading heavily on his life experience and making clear his focus is on michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania, as he named, checked those three battlegrounds multiple times in his address kate's there in milwaukee for us, i'm sara sidner with john berman who is here in new york, where we begin actually with breaking news for you this morning, president biden finds himself in a state of isolation, both at home and within his own

party losing support among his own political heavyweights. >> now, sources tell cnn more house speaker nancy pelosi spoke with biden and deliver a blunt message. you cannot win in november, according to the polls leaving democrats with little chance of regaining the house told him if he remains on the top of the ticket, this all comes is president biden is forced off the campaign trail after being diagnosed with covid. right now, he's isolating at his home in delaware. let's get straight to cnn's priscilla alvarez, who is live in rehoboth beach for more on this. is there any indication at this point of how the president is reacting to not only nancy pelosi's blunt assessment of his candidacy, but he's also hearing from chuck schumer as well with the same blunt message sara, what sources are telling cnn is that the president is defensive. remember that last week during the president's nato solo news conference, he said he had not

seen polling to suggest that he should step aside because he can't win the race. well, we're now learning that former house speaker nancy pelosi recently showed the president polling saying that not only could he not win, but that he could also have a detrimental effect to house races that for democrats. now, the president pushed back on that and sources tell cnn that at one point the former house speaker asked to get his senior advisers, mike donilon, on the phone to talk through the data. now, the white house's response to this as quote, the president, president biden, is the nominee of the party and the former house speaker's office says that she is in california, has been since friday, that they have not spoken been since, but this is the second conversation known conversation between the former house speaker and the president's since his halting debate performance last month. and it comes, of course, as there have been increasing calls within the democratic

party for the president to step aside still multiple concerns presenting zaidi is held within the party. i will also note, however, that one senior democratic adviser tells cnn's jeff zeleny that he is he being the president receptive to some of what he is hearing and sort of pivoting his questions to say can camila harris win so what this tells us is that yes, there is still some denial and defensiveness about the polling, but there is conversation behind the scenes about what the best option is moving forward. and so now the president is here in rehoboth, where he is self isolating and whose grappling with all of those questions since priscilla he has covid so many americans have dealt with this. what's he saying about his diagnosis this morning well, in the president himself has dealt with this as well. >> he was diagnosed with this in 2022 and took paxlovid. he

also received paxlovid just yesterday after we learned about his diagnosis. look, this comes at a critical juncture in the election. the president was on the campaign trail. he was in nevada appealing to black voters, to latino voters. and right before he was set to speak at the knee, those us event they came out and said that he was not going to be able to be there because he had just been diagnosed with covid. and so this was certainly an opportunity where he was going to announce new actions since he was unable to do that, coming back to rehoboth earlier than expected. too, so he could again self-isolate. i will note though the white house says that his symptoms are mild and he will be performing the duties of the president here in rehoboth good news that has symptoms or just mile priscilla alvarez. thank you so much. live there from rehoboth beach in delaware. kate so it is the final day of the republican convention here in milwaukee. >> the whole league, all leads up to this. the whole week has been the trump show, but

tonight trump is the show a much anticipated nomination speech that got all the more important after saturday. donald trump says that he tore up the speech that he had previously planned to be to deliver and completely rewrote it after the assassination attempt at his pennsylvania rally to focus now, more on unity so what does unity look like for donald trump now, cnn's alayna treene, she has much more reporting on this and she's here with me now. what are you learning about what he's going to say tonight, right? >> well, it's interesting as you said, he tore up his speech. >> he actually called the first speech he wrote prior to which i he wrote his team rope, but he actually weighed heavily on him and he's weighed in heavily on the speech. he's going to share tonight on stage, i'm told he called you that first version, a humdinger of end it now like he would right now, he is trying to pare back. of course, this is donald trump. we're talking about. he does not like to be vulnerable. he does not like to appear vulnerable. the whole campaign's message throughout the course of this election

cycle has been strength versus weakness. and that's not going to change. so you will still see some of that fire on stage. i am told, but it isn't going to be about unity. it's going to be about america first, the policies bringing the country together very different from donald trump were used the hearing at the several rallies. all the rallies that i've been to so it's going to be a little bit tamper down. but what i do find it interesting as well, just over the last several weeks and looking at all of these defining moments that he has had i'm going to walk through some of them, but again, you mentioned this is going to be a trump coronation. i think if you look at these defining moments, i mean, he survived this assassination attempt, his political foes came up on stage for the past several days and embraced him. he had the classified documents case tossed recently, the supreme court ruled on the immunity decision, something that they celebrated. his sentencing has been delayed in the new york hush-money case until september. he is really had a remarkable stretch over the past several weeks that has led him to this moment. he's

going to be feeling more confident than ever. he really does feel like the republican party is the party of trump right now. and you're going to see that confidence on stage, even as he tries to tamp down some of that more vitriolic rhetoric that we are so used to him. >> and that's the thing i think maybe the definition of unifying and unity is what it is, does it mean civility or doesn't mean we're unified around trump, does it mean less violent rhetoric. what does it mean? we will, we will learn tonight because he's going to have to after everything that's happened the speech tonight will lay the marker of what unity looks like and is defined by, defined as for donald trump after tonight they hit the campaign trail for the first joint campaign event between trump and jd vance and they're heading to michigan. michigan, one of the three battlegrounds that was name-checked. i mean, how many times in jd vance's speech it was. is that freudian? i don't think that's friday and it's something but it was intentional. that's varchar

because i guess it's not already but is that what is this all about? i mean, it's very clear that that is the appeal that they think jd has. those are the voters that he has are getting mean he basically said that last night and he tried to paint himself really as i am one of you, i grew up in the same type of environment. i came from a poor family, a struck a family and struggled with addiction. and he really geared that message toward those voters. i will also note that when donald trump called jd vance on monday to inform him that he was going to select him as his running mate. he brought up michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. he said, i think you can help me win those states. and it's very clear that that is where they want to be sending jd vance to help them with those voters that they really do see as essential to winning this election come the fall, you got he got the job assignment pretty clear and that's obvious. there was last night the production and throughout the course of the program last night, it was a very, very emotional on many different

levels you can see it in people in the hall. you could it was conveyed through the through the tvs one of the things that you saw is more attempts to soften the sharper edges of the former president. and a lot of people are still talking about the remarks given by his eldest granddaughter, right? >> i mean, i think you've seen many of the speakers this week tried to humanize donald trump in a way that we really haven't seen it. again, he doesn't normally like being vulnerable, but we've seen a lot of vulnerability this week. i do. i want you to listen to trump's speech because i think it was a perfect example of that didn goes on to me. >> he's just a normal grandma he gives those candy and soda when her parents are and looking, well, we play golf together if i'm on his team, he'll try to get inside of my head and he's. always surprised that i don't let him get to me but i have to remind him alma trump too.

>> now you could actually see i was on the floor last night while she was speaking and donald trump was you could see the emotion on his face. it was the same when you saw lara trump and sarah huckabee sanders, all of them bringing up that he is a grandfather sharing personal anecdotes of those stories. so i found that fascinating. and one thing i do want to mention it is tonight we are going to see the entire family join donald trump here on the floor. melania trump, the first lady who never comes out on the campaign trail. she's said only two public appearances, i believe since he announced his third bid for the president. so it's going to be fascinating. ivanka trump and jared kushner's while people we have not seen this cycle are all going to be there tonight. so watch out for that. >> all right. it's great to see you covering it all for us. john all right. >> this morning, a man is in custody after threatening to kill president biden and heated exchange between republican senators and the secret service director here, what they said is they taster down the hall and his grandfather had a

medical emergency while driving 70 miles per hour on the interstate towing a boat. now, what, 11 he rolled is being honored for how he jumped to the rescue and going through your mind mind was going to happen only going to get in a wreck. >> what it worked out person haley. >> tonight live from milwaukee, former president trump accepts his party's nomination for the nation's highest office. jake. tapper and anderson cooper lead cnn special live coverage the republican national convention tonight at seven on cnn, choice hotels is a family of brands with a hotel for any traveler you want to be. like number one chef, dad, cook it up a free hot breakfast with you entire family at a comfort hotel. >> mom and i added the garnish stay twice and get a $50 gift card when you booked direct old spice gentleman super hydration body wash and now lance 24/7 moisture rotation with vitamin b three are you and all the old

favorite pair of jeans today. i'm taylor available on the apple app store or android there's no war, so hateful. >> war between qin it's a war between truck house of the dragon streaming exclusively on max so overnight something of a bombshell report from our jeff zeleny that there has been a shift in president biden's attitude about leaving the

race. >> jeff reports that a source said, quote he's being receptive, not as defiant as he is publicly. more quotes now, he's gone from saying, camila can't win to do you think kamala can win and that same adviser says, quote, it's unclear where he's going to land but he seems to be listening with us now cnn political commentator, host of battleground, se cupp, and former white house communications director and cnn political commentator kate bedingfield, who could not be happier talking about this, this morning. look our top of the pelosi reporting and the schumer reporting in the adam schiff statement would jeff came out last night on our convention. coverage, which i was watching minute by minute of his way too late. i said, wow, i mean, wow, there's someone now telling reporters that there's been a shift in biden's thinking, the new york times had a similar report. jonathan karl has got something like that. something's going on here that's what it felt like to me, kate, what do you see? >> yeah. well, i mean, look, i think we have seen a

coordinated efforts from democratic leadership over the last 24, 48 hours. i think, you know, i know joe biden to be somebody who who follows the news, reads the newspaper, absorbs information. i'm sure he is not blind to this the fact that this push is happening. i think what the biden team would argue is that they continue to have the support of black voters. now that obviously there's polling that cuts both ways on that. but this is their argument that they continue to have the support of the base of the party and that a push from leadership is not something that's going to resonate with voters who feel like they went to the ballot box during the primaries and voted for joe biden so i think this is look to put it lightly, this is not a good moment for democrats. i think the more kind of pile-on there is of the person who has said many, many he times the he intends to be the nominee the less focus there is on donald trump and the things we saw at the convention last night. so i

think this is one way or the other. this is a moment where democrats need to make a decision here and move forward and start focusing on the november election se well, but the third that we know about this is very right there. >> that's what i think. >> yeah, because i think democrats are so desperate to get through to joe biden and they're not that never leaking these private conversations as sort of an outsized effort to triangulate and really force joe biden to acknowledge the realities of the state of his campaign. and unfortunately, i think his resistance does not look like it's coming from a position of strength but a position of delusion. and the fact that everyone is now talking openly about these private efforts is speaking to that delusion and feeling like we can't get through to him. he's not believing the bowls. he says that you know, publicly he doesn't believe the polls. he's not listening to voters a large percentage of whom are telling him, we don't believe you can get there. he's not

acknowledging this trump trifecta of momentum. momentum after the debate, momentum after for the shooting attempt. now the momentum he'll get after the rnc. all of this is bad and i don't think democrats believe he can get there without them doing this when he was diagnosed with covid and, you know, it's a mild case, et cetera. do you think that that may be something that he can use to make it feel better for him to say, look, you know, this is really hitting me hard and i'm going to bow out, especially schumer and pelosi both are telling you yeah, you got it. you got to leave the tech. >> he doesn't need an excuse. he's got plenty of reasons to step aside. every house and senate race being one of them but sure. i mean, this is an opportunity i would take the opportunity. this was a bad week for joe biden and one of a few now, we'll take this opportunity to say, listen, i'm going to do what's right for the country. i'm going to do what's right for the party and step aside and let's get kind whether it's camila or

someone else, let's do it let's do it. one of the things has been interesting here, kate, is that there's just no precedent, no one knows how to behave in a situation like no one alive knows how to behave in a situation like this. and i get the sense that a lot of democrats have been looking around for guidance like someone's swoop in and fix this, make it okay. and there's no do use the greek poorly and are due says masha and there's no hand of god that's going to come in and fix it. but if there were to be a hand of god for the democratic party, want to be nancy pelosi? would it be nancy pelosi? >> she carries an enormous amount of weight. she is somebody who's navigated democrats through a lot of really tough fights. she has that's an incredibly successful legislative record. she's known to be a smart tactician and a fighter or so. she's somebody that democrats absolutely look to. and i think the fact that you continue to see her sort of advance this argument that he hasn't made a final decision yes, i think a lot of democrats are looking to that but i think as i say, ultimately, time is not on the

democrat side here. and so a decision needs to come to your point about deus ex mocking it, nobody. >> thank you for your correctly. i screwed it up or maybe i didn't, but i don't know but harvard as you get more there is that you raise a really important point here, which is that there is no certainty on either side. >> and that's where sometimes i think this debate, which is all borne by the way of a desire to beat donald trump, right? i mean, this is all, all of this anxiety and fear is not coming from. we hate joe biden place. it's coming from for democrats it's coming from a place of we want to beat donald trump and we think that the threat that he, a second term poses to people's countries really significant. but there is no certainty on either side. you can't, there's no candidate that you could put on the ticket. joe biden camila harris, anybody else where you could say with certainty this person will absolutely defeat donald trump. i mean, the campaign becomes what you make of it. and right now, democrats are not making an aggressive case, and that's what they need to do. >> if they're going to make a move here on the hotseat, as

you now sorry about them, but if democrats are going to make a move, do they need to make it now? or can they wait to august 19 convention? >> no, they need to make it now, if they need to make it yesterday, last week, it no time is running short. and the longer the conversation is about what is going to happen at the top of the ticket for damage my grads the longer it's not about donald trump, jd vance project 2025 cuts to social security and medicare women not being able to make reproductive decisions on their own. that's where the conversation for democrats, that's where the conversation needs to be. >> it's in this environment, se that donald trump, he speaks tonight before the nation yeah. >> what are you expecting? >> because i know we've been told that ripped up the speech or is that or how much do you believe that what do you think he can or should say? >> well, i was in 2015, i was given a copy of the speech he was going to give when he it was great. it was about his business record he used none of it, not even the first word.

right. when he came down that escalator. so we should all brace ourselves for the real donald trump. but i hope he does give a unifying speech and it will end a very good week for republicans if he does that and a week that made the contrast between republicans and democrats very stark. i mean, the other part of this is that the rnc and republicans and trump look at disciplined and biden's campaign looks like a vanity project at this point. it looks unserious. trump look serious. we have to acknowledge the wildness of that, but they have stayed on message. they have been unified. the other side has been in chaos and turmoil unified is a big issue with the democrats. when you look at where we are now, is there a candidate that you see them doing what happened with trump coalescing behind and saying, okay, this is our person. and is that person kamala harris? >> look, i i think if they're going to make a switch to me, kamala harris is the person that it would need to be that

it should be you know, she's been a governing partner to joe biden and xi has wide support across the democratic party. that is my person and i'll believe. but i also think democrats can unify behind joe biden. i think he has three-and-a-half years of record that is something they can defend he can draw effectively draw the kind i believe he can effectively draw the contrast against donald trump. he has to do it has to be out there doing it but the question is, you know can you, can democrats get together? i believe they can get together behind joe biden, but they got to do it now essentially has to be made long before august. yes. we heard it here. live firms not kate bedingfield and se cupp. thank you both for coming on new details about what investigators found on the phone of the man who tried to assassinate donald trump. that's ahead. >> as a guide ecologist, i'm embarrassed to say this. we use deodorant on our armpits and we kinda make women feel bad about body odor that they get on

don't think that you hang up on well, and we're learning new details about what the gunman was doing in the days and hours leading up to his attempt to assassinate donald trump. cnn's danny freeman is in bethel park, pennsylvania near the shooter's home but what do you tell us about this investigation and what is happening at sour will serve frankly, as you alluded to, we have learned quite a bit more information in the past 24 hours. thanks to that briefing provided to lawmakers. thanks to a new statement by butler township. and of course, thanks to new video obtained by cnn. so i want to talk about some of that video first let's take a look. this video obtained by cnn affiliate wtae in pittsburgh. it shows if you can see on your screens right now a person wearing clothing resembling thomas matthew crooks in front of that building complex where he would ultimately perch on top of one

of the buildings and fire at former president trump. and this video was taken about an hour for the shooting. so clearly one crucial part of this investigation moving forward. plus, we also have new dramatic video that was obtained by cnn showing law enforcement officials actually ramming fencing with one of their vehicles in order to gain access to the outer perimeter where the shooter was taking shots at the former president. this video coming just after that shooting took place. now, sara, this all comes as we're getting more information about the larger investigation as well, law enforcement sources telling cnn that there were pictures on the shooter's phone of both president biden and president trump. but law enforcement sources also noted that there were other political figures on his phone as well, including pictures of house minority leader hakeem jeffries and speaker mike johnson. but note threatening language accompanying any of those photos the other thing that was a piece of new information is that crooks apparently has searched for information on

major depression disorder but still law enforcement official say that there's no evidence that he himself had any diagnosis and the last thing sara that i'll note is from the house briefing law. i should say legislative sources were telling us that the shooter actually visited that rally site twice before the shooting and cell phone data shows that he was at that rally elie site at least 70 minutes prior to the shooting. sara those details disturbing to anyone who saw what happened, the death of one of the rally goers injuries, and he almost shot and killed donald trump. >> thank you so much danny freeman there live for us from a pennsylvania i'm going to throw it back to you, kate, in milwaukee yeah. >> and as we learn more about that various curious situation against donald trump, we also have new details today about a man now charged with threatening to kill president joe biden and also this a voice grandfather had a medical emergency going on conscious while driving 70 miles an hour,

whenever he checked into a mental health facility in tallahassee and said at that time, i don't like president biden. i want to kill him, slit his throat. the people at that facility called the secret service. and so then they found the guy and they sat down and they interviewed him at the beginning getting of july at his parents home, and then just a few days later, last week, the secret service found tweets that he had been posting racist threatening messages about the agent that interviewed him and then more specifically additional threats against joe biden, one of them reading sources, joe biden his health is declining rapidly, not doing too good at all. should i finish him off from there? that's when the secret service and the justice department went to court and they did bring three different charges against him for these sorts of threats. and john, one of these things as it did begin this investigation before the attempted assassination of donald trump. but that is something that is very top of

mind for the secret service right now. absolutely obviously takes on a new meaning now, katelyn polantz. thank you so much. >> forced off the campaign trail this morning, president biden is isolating at his home in delaware. after testing positive for covid and the timing really couldn't be worse for his campaign. he's facing growing calls now from top democrats to step aside, including nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, a decision that he would have to re-evaluate in the event of a medical condition, sources say his symptoms are mild though and biden posted himself on social media that he's feeling good with me now is cnn's sanjay gupta. sanjay, it's always great to see you this morning. any morning. biden, 81-years-old how does having covid at that age impact someone is different than if you're a younger person, for example yeah, i think that's fair to say, sir. i mean, we've known since the beginning excuse me that older people are going to be at greater risk of getting sicker but at the same time, we're in a totally

different place with covid than we were a few years ago. there are a lot of favorable indicators for the president as well. he did have symptoms, so he had this non-productive cough. he was feeling just generally tired. general malaise, and that could be one of the symptoms that people have. runny nose, things like that did not have a fever, had normal oxygenation as well. so those are favorable indicators so he's vaccinated, he's boosted. he also had covid back in 2022. so he has a lot of protection. one of the big questions we get, it people ask because the guidelines have changed so many times in terms of what you do. if you do get covid, i just want to put them up on the screen here. it's interesting because now you really have to watch for symptoms more than anything else. stay home, stay away from other people until you are fever-free off of any medications for 24 hours and your symptoms are getting better then after you come out of the isolation, which we

don't know how long that lasts. he could be feeling better today or tomorrow. once you come out, you're supposed to wear a mask for five days. that's the guidance. right now from the cdc. one thing i will point out something to watch out for his taking this medication, paxlovid, and they percentage of people people they do have what's called the rebound. back in 2022, president biden had covid, he took the paxlovid and he did get a rebound, so he tested positive. and then for several days he tested negative. and then a few a day later he tested positive again so just something to keep in the back of the mind as well. they're going to be watching out for that. i'm sure the president's doctors, a lot of us think like the pandemic finally, it's over its 2024, but there's still covid and it's going to be around as you had mentioned, when it first came into existence in our country, what's the status of covid right now? >> yeah, i mean, look, this is something that's here, right? i think people thought this was going to comment it's going to go, it's here just like we've probably think of flu, the flu

virus that exist today probably is a descendant from the 1918 flu more than 100 years ago. but take a look at the map, sara, to your question. most of the country is seeing upticks in covid, right now. it's a little bit hard to tell. we don't have the same surveillance that we did even a year ago, let alone two years ago. but you can see the dark colors there where it's growing 45 states in many of those states, you see infections growing, but in the west and in the south, you're also seeing increase in er visits and hospitalizations. i will say this. those numbers are coming off very low numbers in may, we had some of the lowest numbers we've had in four years. they were similar to the spring of 2020 before this really started. so we really got to see what happens. but people typically think of fall and winter being the sort respiratory virus with covid. it's sort of, it's sporadic. you can get the summertime surges as well, which is what i think we're seeing right now. now i just learned something new as always.

>> thank you, dr. sanjay gupta. i appreciate your time this morning. >> you've got it. thank you all right. >> and joining us right now is david polyansky is republican strategist and former deputy campaign manager for ron desantis, presidential campaign. and also back with us se cupp, cnn political commentator and host of battleground first, a quick conversation with the control room. let me know when david's mike is now fixed so we can get so we can bring david and you get to be a silent participant for one second what exactly just the way we like you, david from a republican, from the gop perspective. biden and covid beyond a medical diagnosis, how does the timing of this impact and what has already been an extremely tough go for biden right now. yeah. >> well, i talked earlier about the what i'm calling the trump trifecta, and it's this momentum that has been a one-two, three punch. she got momentum after that bad debate

performance. he got momentum after that assassination attempt. he will get momentum after this rnc and unfortunately this covid diagnosis comes at a time when biden's campaign is experiencing the opposite of momentum, it's experiencing inertia and getting covid and having to leave the campaign trail right now is really sort of a double hit into, into inertia, or maybe even worse momentum in the opposite direction so i mean this is sort of the last thing that the campaign needed on the other hand, it could also be an opportunity kate for some real world's reality checks for the biden campaign and maybe, maybe it's time, maybe it's time to step aside maybe the pause button meet really, really has a real impact. >> what do you, what do you think the impact is? i mean, it's been if you compare like the last a couple of weeks for donald trump and joe biden, it's the series of events are

wild, how it's going in terms of, i mean horrifying in some respects, of course, when we're talking about assassination attempt, but just where the momentum is right now. and then i mean, a lot of people were like not on my bingo card was now joe biden getting covid and hope he gets well, but the impact, do you think in this moment on the race, we'd love to three weeks ago, nobody would have taught believed that we're going to sit here today and likely see the incumbents sitting president, united states, step down as their nominee, 110 days out from the election. i mean, it's unprecedented, not just from a historical perspective, but i think if we were riding political thriller, nobody would buy this book. and just is unbelievable. so i don't even think it's momentum. i think at this point democrats cede his viability can he win? i think they've come to the conclusion, joe biden can't the question is, can kamala harris or anybody else in there on their bench take a shot at it. to be honest? 110 days out, i wouldn't especially coming

off the heels of what the terrible events of this past weekend and what we're seeing here this week in terms of a unified by gop. and frankly voters who buys this messaging that's a tough place to step in for anyone. >> so let's talk about tonight. let's talk about last night. tonight, we're waiting to see what unity means for donald trump. now. and we'll wait to see what he says. but se, there's also last night, jd vance he leans really heavily on his lived experience. he repeatedly also in his message obviously, it's been described as, you know economic populism. he really hit the ruling class we heard over and over again, trashing free trade. he went after wall street calling wall street baron saying they crashed the economy. he went after big corporations he spoke up for the working man listen to this things did not work out well for a lot of kids. >> i grew up with every now and then i will get a call from a relative back home. who asked did you know so and so and i'll remember a face from years ago

and then all here, they died of an overdose. >> as always, america's ruling class wrote the checks communities like mine paid the price a lot of people said, in hearing jd vance's message, se it sounded like a speech that bernie sanders would be giving. >> i mean, what does that mean for the republican party? >> this is red meat for the republican party. it's a little, it's a little rich. this iv ticket, this ticket of two ivy league-educated ruling class, ruling class candidates. i mean, he's a, he's a tech bro, right you know, railing against against the ruling class is a little rich, but this is a message that works for republicans in that room. and republican voters all over the country. and that's why he's there. he's there to speak specifically to rust belt midwestern blue collar voters who democrats have left behind in their minds and that will work. the question is, will that message work outside of that room with independence in the swing states? that's the

group that donald trump still needs to win. and are they into that message that's a little darker, a little bleaker than maybe they're up for. we'll see, we'll see how that hits for those independents and moderates in swing states. but it absolutely works in the republican convention and david there were some real emotion in this room in the program last night and everyone was noting the impact of the gold-star families, the families of this service members who died at abbey gate during the afghanistan withdrawal and their stories and their emotion was heart-wrenching. >> and they were it was, it was brutal. their assessment of president biden let me play just i mean, just to touch because it was lengthy. let me play a touch of this while joe biden has refused to recognize their sacrifice donald trump

spent six hours in bedminster with us, au biden said the withdrawal from afghanistan was an extraordinary success. joe biden may have forgotten that are children died, but we have not forgotten donald trump has not forgotten inside the room, inside this hall. >> i mean, the impact was evidenced. you can see people breaking down in tears what is the impact of that outside of this room? i mean, when the conversation this is part of a conversation about a commander in chief but also a conversation about foreign policy also conversation of how you interact with military families. what do you see the real impact? >> what look, i think it actually goes into jd vance's message last night, which is people across the country, especially in places like the rust belt have paid the price in terms of failures in washington in politics ticks in terms of the economy. >> but it's also these young men and women who have lost

their lives have served our country, have paid both with their lives, the physical and mental impacts that come with going to war and traveling over for sees in places like iraq and afghanistan. >> and in this case, years later with the withdrawal. and those families touched on this not just the sacrifice and the failures this administration to really recognize it, but especially in terms of those 13 young men and women who served our country so ably and with such incredible courage it's lost on me how a president, and i think most notably a vice president would never utter their names publicly and acknowledged that sacrifice to the families and to the country country there really are two things that we need is just the pure pain that you could that the human element of what happened and also then separate but it was very intertwined last night was the policy of the the, what donald trump had put in place it's with a deal

that he had struck how joe biden did the man or the joe biden won about the withdrawal. >> those are two separate things, but the program last night, it was all put together and it's something that the democrats and the biden team will need to respond to for sure, it's good to see you, david. thank you so much. se it's great to see you. thank you sara all right and now to the good stuff, a georgia boy taking her roic steps to save his grandfather and himself and a dire emergency. >> take a listen to this anything wrong guy right here hey, i can hear you. >> okay back in 340 break i mean, that child had his width about him, his paw-paw, as he said, was having a diabetic seizure. >> and he took we'll the 11-year-old was in the car with his granddad. he aod that

diabetic episode. he passed out and this 11-year-old just jumped in and said, okay, i'm going to do that that's now. the car was going 70 miles an hour and towing a boat behind. and if you've ever driven a car with a boat being towed behind it, that is hard work to make sure that doesn't swerve all over this but quick thinking saved the day staffing going to remind like, what's going to happen, only going to get in aracre, what but it worked that perfectly he sounds like he has an old soul. he sounds the sounds like he's a lot older than he is. he's only 11 guys. the gordon county sheriff later on or drake with a citizen services wards and some tickets to an atlanta braves game. and we did reach out to the family to make sure that papas doing okay. john, he is doing just fine. that's great. what presence of mind? him. >> he knew the exit, he knew what was happening. he was very direct with asli. >> he knew how to drive several years before he's supposed to have a driver. >> i'm not saying i knew how to drive at 8:00 a.m. saying that's cool. >> well, let this why some say

of his life through his own eloquent words in his book hillbilly elegy the ci during his senate campaign. >> and now as a sitting united states senator alright, is an emotional retelling of his often difficult upbringing, split between middletown, ohio, and eastern kentucky but there are some folks in the region that says he says he's not truly from appalachian and his characterization of it is actually hurting folks joining us now is author meredith mcardle, who wrote the book. and white appalachians, race and film i do want to go to a clip of the film quickly here this is hillbilly elegy based of course, on his bestselling book telling the story of his upbringing and a mother who was addicted to drugs, a child that was raised mostly by his grandmother and the struggles of poverty in this country. listen i thought you, mama which could be happy know, i

could have done better they can't got to decide. you want to be sure do you want to be somebody or not? he is now the vice presidential candidate is real american story did vance a story resonate with you when you first heard it? saw the book, saw the movie well, i first came to know about vance because so many people told me that they had read the book and therefore felt like they understood the place that i was from. >> i was living in maine at the time that hillbilly elegy came out, though i'm from western north carolina so when i first read the book, it was with a lot of curiosity. there were parts of it, certainly that resonated. mostly i read as an empathetic reader and really understood as any reader might, that his upbringing was difficult. and so yes, i think that there were parts of the first part of the book, the memoir. part of the book the personal narrative, part of the book that did resonate with me

and a lot of readers what do you think was misrepresented about people who live in appalachia when you sort of went through it because you said the beginning of the book, it resonated. >> you it was his story, it was him telling it from a personal perspective. and it's very impactful to anyone who grew up with with no means sure. i think that what happened for me and for a lot of readers was this shift that happens from first-person singular where he's, when he's telling the story about, i didn that does this happened to me sure. i can follow that. i can read that. like i said, with a lot of empathy, but he does something in the book that frankly doesn't really get captured in the film because a book is an easier format for this than a film. but you really shifts to talking about we and he speaks on behalf of the entirety of appalachia, which is something that i would never claim to do. and most people who've paid any attention and understand that it's the 13 state region
