best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation president biden speaks to the nation for the first time since his historic decision to bow out of the race if you don't mind, i'm not going to be nice. >> is that okay donald trump testing out new attack lines in the first week of a totally new race and thousands of pro pro-palestinian protesters, anti-israel protesters in some cases storm the streets of dc you see in violence erupts all right. 5:00 a.m. here in washington, a live look at capitol hill on this thursday morning we're getting to the

end of the week here. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with u.s. president biden addressing the nation last night from the oval office becoming the first commander in chief in over 50 years, half a century to choose not to run for reelection i believe our record as president, my leadership in the world our vision for america's future all murdered a second term but nothing nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy. that includes personal ambition so i've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation that's the best way to unite in our nation it was the first time president biden spoken any detail about his decision to end his campaign. cnn reporting that biden along with his long longtime communications aide, mike donilon, and the historian jon meacham, began writing last night's speech on sunday,

shortly after announcing his decision during the roughly 11 minutes speech, biden touted his accomplishments and outline what he hopes to accomplish over the next several months the soul of america, biden argued in a phrase uses often is once again at stake in this election america is an idea ideas charged with any armory bigger than any ocean or paul from any dictator retiring smoke, powerful idea in the history of the world. just a few months the american people will choose the course of america's future i made my choice joining me now is tia mitchell, washington correspondent for the atlanta journal constitution and catherine lucey, white house reporter for the wall street journal. good morning to both of you. thank you so much for being here. catherine, we start with you the president. did note that he would need to do this basically to unite his party that was the phrase that he used. i thought it was a

telling one what were your top takeaway from the speech last night as we watched what really was a swan song from the president? >> yeah, it certainly did feel like the date of the beginning of a farewell speech, if not a farewell speech? >> he didn't really get into detail about why he had to do this, right? >> he didn't we didn't hear a lot of we didn't hear all about the debate, the pressure, the concerns about his age. he said he, you know, he thought he'd earned another term, but then he but he did pivot to this idea of democracy, which has been a huge theme for him through his 2020 campaign through the 24 campaign until now, the idea that democracy is at stake and that ultimately is he said last night he felt that nothing was more important than that. >> yeah, peter baker put it this way in the new york times tia, he wrote this quote, he bought biden, said it was time to pass the torch to a new generation, but said nothing about his own age, health, or capacity that led to so many

democrats to desert him since the calamitous debate on june 27 he did not describe the journey from supreme confidence that he and he alone could beat former president donald j. trump to the conclusion that in fact, he could not instead, it was an opportunity for a reset. tell his story again on his own terms and try to recast the narrative as he starts to exit the stage kept me catherine's right. he didn't really address the thing that everyone has been focused on for this time. >> yeah. and i think that he, his advisors and his speech writer thought, if you're going to give a short speech, 11 minutes, are you going to spend it arguing something, making an argument you've already lost. and i think they thought that a better use of his time would be more forward looking, which was a lot. and also a lot of what he spoke about, but also reframing the context of the presidential campaign. again, as this fight for democracy

also making it clear that he was passing the torch to vice president kamala harris. and i think thirdly, they want to so make it clear that even though this is not what he wanted, that this was a decision that he made that he wasn't under duress. he wasn't you know, bitter and angry, at least publicly that he was, you know, a willing participant and where the direction that this presidential contest and quite frankly, the future of his party is going yeah, we do know that behind the scenes, he has been angry, but i think i mean, you're right to point out the demeanor was different some of that anger though cropped up a possibly a little bit in this joe biden letter that she posted she says, and this is in her handwriting on my sheets, so i'm trying to read it here to those who never wavered to those who refused to doubt to those who always believed my heart it's full of gratitude.

>> thank you for the trust you put in joe. now it's time to put that trusting camila. >> love jill. >> she's basically talking to the people that stood with him the entire time. >> what do you hear in that? >> we know she was privately a staunch for at least for a time, a staunch advocate that he could keep going as were many members of his family. and we know the bidens or like this, they they get their backs up. they don't like when they feel like they're being pushed. there certainly getting his irish up and i we know that she has described herself as the holder of grudges in her family that she is she is protective of him and defensive of him. >> and as someone takes care of him and so there was clearly a lot of emotion we heard in the room last night she was there somebody his children where there grande some of the grandchildren that was a lot of family there. and this even though as tia said, that the president was graciously doing, this, was making clear this is

his choice. this was a hard moment for the bidens. this was not the way they saw this ending. >> yeah. and these are i'm glad we put these pictures up. this these images are remarkable. i mean, i don't recall especially the ones where the family is sitting to the side seeing pictures like this inside the oval office during an address there he was with jill, right afterward. but his son, hunter, other members of the family kind of off to the side watching him the resolute desk there tia and then he went out after this and basically gave us i don't know if it was impromptu or not, but there was there was there was cheering after the speech ended from the family and anyone out and addressed at his staff? you can see those pictures. are there of him standing the portico? again to cheers and applause. i think underscores kind of the nature of the moment. >> yeah, i think one of the things tibet to the point of jill biden's letter. and i think that was also addressed a little bit in his beach. i think he wanted to give people

who were those always biden's, those people who didn't waver, wanting him to step down. and we're quite frankly disappointed when he made his announcement on sunday. i think he wanted to speak to them to say it's okay, guys, i'm making the transition. you can go ahead. i'm releasing you. i'm encouraging you, quite frankly, to move forward without me, but i think there are, you know, there's the staff you put in a lot of hours. you put in a lot of emotion into a job like working in the white house. of course his family, the family has to sacrifice a lot to see there patriarch in the white house and now to see it in not on his own terms, i think there is a lot of emotion there. and so i think it's very gracious of him to kind of try to ease that transition, not just for himself, but for those who love him most, for those who dedicated a lot too. william by working in the white house in again to the party trying to be

this unifier, even when we know privately, this has been difficult for him, but also he knows joe biden is so concerned about his legacy and how he's viewed in the history books. i mean, you see jon meacham helping write a speech. if his party loses in november, that then becomes part of his legacy. so he really does need to pivot this. now, i'm trying to encourage people to get on board include people who worked for him you know, the voters, et cetera. >> best thing he can do for his legacy, right now in his view and the view of those who support him is get kamala harris elected zachary. okay. tia mitchell, catherine lucey. thank you both very much. >> alright. >> coming up next here on cnn this morning, donald trump, trying to try it out new attack lines against kamala harris plus israeli prime minister benjamin met yahoo set for high-stakes meetings with president biden and vice president harris after a remarkable day yesterday as pro-palestinian protests in the nation's capital turned violent here's to getting

cricket's at the watergate complex where netanyahu is staying during his visit to washington inside the capitol, democratic congresswoman rashida tlaib, held a one woman silent protest. she raised a sign that read war criminal netanyahu had this message to the protesters during his address. >> clarity begins by knowing the difference between good and evil you had incredibly magic many anti-israel protesters, many choose to stand with evil they stand with hamas well, i have a message for these protesters. when the tyrants of tehran who hadn't gains from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair, are appraising, promoting and funding you you have officially become iran's useful idiots so in the aftermath, after some of those protests calm down last night, the american flag was

once again raised in front of union station. >> cnn's max foster joins us live now from london. max, good morning to you. this of course, a significant moment for the israeli prime minister sir, who faces all sorts of challenges at home. but these scenes particularly of the american flag burning, they were also burning in effigy of netanyahu. it underscores the division and also, quite frankly, the violent nature of some of the protests of this war yeah, i mean, seeing the american flag burning is something i think resonated around the world. i mean, that is taking it to a really personal level for many americans. the message behind it is that they feel that america is arming this war complicit in this war that they don't i believe in, i mean, many of the protests of course, in america have been legitimate

protest by people who are sympathetic with palestinians generally. you also saw the hamas sign being written on that monument. i mean, this is crossing the line, isn't it for many people, i think a lot of people felt quite insulted though, but netanyahu's line that people but oppose him are effectively iran's useful idiots. a lot of the protesters against what israel is doing are legitimate protests, but it crosses a line here and doesn't really help anyone. does it when it doesn't help the legitimate protests. when it turns this this nasty yeah, the white house put out at this statement about it, quote, identifying with evil terrorist organizations like hamas, burning the american flag, or forcibly removing the american flag and replacing it with another is disgraceful anti-semitism and violence are never acceptable period, white house spokesman andrew bates said, in a statement, i think it's worth noting burning the flag is within the free speech rights of americans. >> if it's your own flag ripping down flags on public property to burn them as a

whole other category of thing max, i guess. i'm curious in terms of the pressure on netanyahu here. clearly, in many ways, these protests might actually underscore help kind of buttresses argument for people in israel because he is on shaky ground at home and one of the other things that happened here was that some people associated with the hostage families were removed who from the galleries due to disruptions during the speech, et cetera. it's not like this is a this is very complicated and multi-layered situation at when it comes to how netanyahu is dealing with this from his own domestic political perspective. >> well, i think one thing that israelis care about is getting hostages home. they want a deal and he didn't really talk about a deal. 20 great depth during the speech. and that was a problem for many back in

israel, who fairly shouldn't even be spending time abroad until that deal is reached. so many people questioning why he was there at all. he wanted obviously show he had support from the key us ally, i think if you're being offered this opportunity to speak to both houses it's pretty hard to turn down. he was probably using it to show his authority on the world stage hasn't been diminished. so there's a personal element there, but also that israel has this closer alliance with the u.s we know obviously that there were many people in that room who chose not to be and these alternative events. but ultimately perhaps up played in terms of optics that we've got here because everyone in the room apart from a couple of examples, you've pointed out, gave him a standing ovation at the end of it. it did look as though he had solidified the u.s tie it, have authority on the world stage, though for him, maybe it was mission

accomplished interesting. >> all right. max foster for us this morning. max, thank you so much. always great to have you all right. >> coming up next here on cnn this morning, democratic counsel, the more he tray hand joins us live after the president's unprecedented decision not to run for reelection. plus, former georgia lieutenant governor geoff duncan joins me to discuss the president's oval office let's address his own endorsement of kamala harris sacred space to watch this. >> it's all 100% real witness. what happens to this woman's bags under her eyes? in an actual time-lapse in just minutes. nothing has been doctored or tampered with the very real problem will disappear before your eyes and hers with a revolutionary topical formulation that works in just minutes and the effects will last for hours and hours over 1 million people are using this topical technique to visually reduce puffiness and backs it works on sagging jobs, even fine lines and wrinkles on the face and forehead introducing plex a derm in just minutes, you can restore and

fire ravaged the area back in 2018. so not what we want to see off in the horizon with some of these fires quickly spreading. of course that time lapse shows quite a picture of just how fast these fires can spread at 8:00, active wildfires over the western us. but i do want to take note of something that occurred that has been occurring over the past 24 hours across alberta into canada. so we're talking western canada now, several large active wildfires, but one that has encroached on the tourist town of jasper. there were mandatory evacuations there, and we're starting to get in some information that that area has received significant losses in terms of structures and buildings. so more information to that coming now, this is a look at what's happening in california. you can see the park fire here 3% containment. so that's some slight improvement. it was at 0% contained came in about an hour ago. so that's good news. we do have a red flag warning for many western us states,

particularly across montana and to oregon, are our greatest chances of wildfire activity exists for the day today. this of course on the backdrop of extreme dream heat over the western us and drought conditions for many western us states including the state of oregon, where our large active fires continue to burn. here's the false fire and the derke fire, which still sits at 0% contained payments. so wildfires, that is our big story today. certainly, kasie. >> all right. derek van dam for us this morning. derek, very grateful to have you. thank you coming up next here. how donald trump is trying to define his new rival, kamala harris plus republican lieutenant governor of georgia, geoff duncan joins me to discuss why he's backing harris over trump a heart-attack. >> do they have life insurance? know but we have life insurance john, i'm trying to find something we can afford

the world's news network. all right just after five-thirty am here in washington, live, look at the nation's capital on this thursday morning. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us president joe biden launched his first campaign for president, 37 years ago. it tells you just how long he's wanted the job. but last night with his family looking on during an oval office address, he did something no other president has done in half a century he walked away from a chance for a second term i reviewed this office. >> i love my country more it's been the honor of my life to serve as your president but in the defense of democracy, which is at stake, i think is more important than a title. great thing about america is here.

kings and dictators there's do not rule that people do history is in your hands the power in your hands joining me now is the former georgia lieutenant governor, geoff duncan. >> his republican who had endorsed joe biden back in may yesterday. jeff wonderful to see you. you said this about vice president kamala harris camp hey, if she's the nominee, yeah, let's do this. let's beat donald trump the best possible way we can. if that takes me endorsing her, if that takes me voting for if that takes me speaking at a convention. so be it. i'm pot committed pod committed. >> so jeff, are you are you formally endorsing her? would you like to speak at the convention well, look, i've said this before, including on this show that i am committed to beating donald trump for all the right reasons. >> i'm willing to make the four-year investment into the republican party to fix us to heal us. we are a better party without donald trump. and i know millions of republicans don't see that, but they will

one day, there'll be in fares that they took the bait and followed donald trump down a dark path for our party. and so i'm committed. and if that means endorsing site speaking for voting, for waiving assigned whatever. i don't agree with kamala harris on everything that i didn't agree with joe biden on everything i don't agree with my wife on everything, but i am committed to this country and i think the best actually she doesn't agree with me on everything. i think let's be candid. >> any any spouses other on everything is definitely not telling the truth, maybe for marital harmony, but still not telling the truth. sorry, continue look, i'm willing to i'm willing to take eat a little bit of humble pie here to do the right thing, the right thing is to beat donald trump. i couldn't help but think what would have happened if donald trump would have done what joe biden did yesterday, a few months ago, if he would have done the decent thing, the thing that we all know make sense and that's the step away. from the job of being the nominee would be a better party for it. i've been behind the curtain with donald trump, everybody who has been behind the curtain with donald trump

and watched him make decisions. know that he is reckless on a good day and dangerous on a bad day. and that's that's probably the most optimistic way to put it. >> yeah. jeff, what did you make of president biden's address? >> last night? i mean, he didn't get into really, you know, why he had stepped aside and talk about his health or anything along those lines. but that said he did note and we played a little bit of it there that he was putting aside personal ambition. this was clearly something he didn't want to do, but he went ahead and he did it. what we're what were your reflections? what's going through your mind as you watched this? >> i believe well, you know, it just reinforced, you might the statement that i made early when i endorsed joe biden as a decent man, not somebody i agree with on everything, but a decent man. and his oval office address was one of decency. it was one of patriotism it was it was doing the right thing for the country. and i can only imagine how hard it is to walk away from the most powerful job

in the world with all of the pomp and circumstance around it. but he's doing it and it's the right thing. i'm sure it's difficult can i ask you in terms of your friends and neighbors those people who in georgia who voted enough of them voted for joe biden in 2022 to give the state to a democrat for the first time in a very long time do you think those people are going to be willing to go into the ballot box and vote for kamala harris, or is it going to be harder to convince some of those folks to do that than it was to do it with biden yeah. i think that's up to kamala harris. i think she has a huge opportunity here to kind of rebrand herself or brand herself, i guess just open up with the let us see what kind of leader she's going to be issued. he's going to try to build bridges or make enemies. and i'm hopeful that she tries to find ways to work with the 10% in the middle like myself, like a lot of the folks here in georgia that represent this

middle ground that want to talk about tough issues like inflation border that don't want to be demonized for having somewhat conservative viewpoints. as she's able to do that and speak with a tone that reminds us of a president instead of a punk, like some other people in this race that i think we're going to be in a better spot and i do think states like georgia and pennsylvania, and michigan and wisconsin wake up and say, you know, we don't agree 100% on these policies are willing to hand the keys to a decent person all right. >> geoff duncan, for us this morning, jeff, always grateful to have you. thank you so much for being here. >> thanks, kasie. >> all right. donald trump and kamala harris, both hit the campaign trail in this new political landscape neither holding back hear me when i say, i know donald trump's type

from attacking harris by trying to tie her to president biden she's worse than him because he's a fake liberal, you know, it wasn't that liberal who is fake? she's a real liberal. she really has a real liberal. she's much worse than him right? >> these first few days of the new campaign, offering a preview of what we're going to see in the coming months, plus new polling conducted after biden's announcement that he was exiting the race this is from cnn released yesterday, shows a tight contest. no clear leader in the trump harris matchup, but this is there's a little bit better for her than the previous was providing joining me now, matt brown national race and politics reporter for the associated press and jackie kucinich, the washington bureau chief for the boston globe good morning to both of you. thanks for being here. jackie, we've started to see and we had this remarkable memo yesterday or the day

before yesterday from tony fabrizio, the trump pollster that basically acknowledged that there was gonna be a mass, a national polling bump for kamala harris. remarkable only because they usually refused to acknowledge if the polls are not going their way but we're starting to see some movement. this is now a competitive race where perhaps it wasn't before and of course we saw trump on the stump yesterday for the first time since this happened saying, you know what, i'm not going to be be nice at what does that look like? >> there is a race right now, to define vice president harris in public? >> yes, of course. she's been vice president for three-and-a-half years. she has she was a senator before that, but i think more broadly, americans are being reintroduced to her. and so you're seeing it on the republican side, really trying to get out there that she's liberal, et cetera. but they also they also have to be careful because the minute they start focusing on her race and her gender, they're losing. so you're hearing a lot of top republicans say please focus on policy, please focus on what she's done rather than who she is.

>> yeah. well, matt brown, i mean, so far trump himself seems to that rally yesterday the one thing he does is repeatedly mispronounced her name which does have some layers to it in terms of it strikes me as something that it seems to underscore that she is or tries to underscore that she's not from here. that seems to be the insinuation and it's something that i mean, he doesn't relentlessly the number of times he said her name in that campaign rally yesterday, very high every single time it was wrong now that said his direct lines were all about her record in contrast to some members of congress who have been running around calling her a dei, candidate. what do you make of the distinction and the mispronunciation, right? >> absolutely. kasie. so what we saw yesterday from trump and with him mispronouncing harris's name, this is something that we've seen from republicans going back since david perdue during, if you remember, in the 2020 georgia senate primary senate election, we've been seeing this

mispronunciation. it either intentional or unintentional on the right for quite some time that is not necessarily the same thing as these dei, attacks that we're now seeing from republicans. i mean, as you mentioned, we had at least three members of congress yesterday saying that they believe that she was a dei hire or directly going after her because because of her race, that's not what trump is doing in the situation. he's actually kind of doing what he's did against what we saw. for instance, his gop rivals against ron desantis, for instance, workshopping right now, working with the crowd to see, okay, we'll do you like lie and kamala harris, do you like that? i'm calling her and competent. do you just like that, i'm yelling that she's mean that she's nasty like you said, against hillary clinton, he's figuring out what is his line of attack at the moment and what are the ways that he wants to be? resonating with his base on this, is that going to resonate with swing voters is going to resonate with the rest of the country. i mean, that's entirely to be seen. >> yeah. >> jackie, what do you make of this? his repeated mispronunciation of her name? >> i mean, he doesn't do anything without a reason and you hear other republicans do it too. i mean, particularly we have, this is someone who has trafficked in this before

referring to president obama by his full name over and over and over again in rallies. and even here and before that, before he was running for president. you'd have to imagine this. this is very much on purpose and it is to potentially otherize her in the eyes of americans, but listen, you have it on the democratic side where they're actually, they're trying to define her to, you that's why she's out on the campaign trail. and i think we're going to start seeing more, more adds, more introductory type things from them as well to make sure that they solidify their view of vice president harris in the mind of americans matt, one line of attack is, of course, around what kamala harris did or didn't know about the state of joe biden's health and capacity they're republicans are going to continue continually use the phrase cover up between now and november. how effective do you think that is or isn't? >> well, this is an interesting line of attack because if it was a cover up, it wasn't a cover up that the american people weren't aware of. i

mean, voters have been telling us for a long time that they didn't think that biden should run for reelection because of his age. this wasn't a secret. this was it's also not as question of whether biden i mean, biden is literally gave a speech last night where he was speaking in the oval office about why he was not going to be running anymore. so it's going to be a question of can republicans make the conspiracy? to see that they're claiming the sweeping idea that joe biden is literally not running the government resonate with voters when that's not necessarily what we were hearing from voters that we heard a dissatisfaction that they didn't think biden was inspiring, but they didn't trust his, him too. have the leadership that americans wanted to see out of the president. but that's not the same thing is i don't think that biden is literally running the government, which is what republicans have been claiming in some of the more maximalist claims that you've been seeing coming out why she put that word in mind? >> hey, in my arsenal, i don't use it enough. and very interesting, matt brown, jackie kucinich, thank you both for and against all right. >> coming up next here on cnn this morning, president biden, making good on his commitment action to these historic oval office address. and

way of saving our democracy that includes personal ambition so i've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation that's the best way to unite our nation and joining me now to discuss congressman lori tray hand of massachusetts. she's a co-chair of the democratic policy and communications committee, congresswoman. good morning. thank you so much for being here a remarkable moment from president biden then last night at your reflections and also in your role, you work on getting people in tough races elected to the house. >> this decision seems to have really changed that game well, here's the thing. >> i think that the american public wanted a different choice this election cycle than donald trump and president biden and support decision that president that the president made to end his campaign. and last night, we got to hear him explain why he made that decision. decision because he understands the stakes of this election for women, for workers

for the future of our democracy. and it was a tough decision for him to make. and we saw that but it was one that he did not have a profound love for our country so i do think that the american public has gotten all to use it's two leaders who hold onto power, politicians who hold onto power at all costs. i mean president, former president trump willing to overturn the will of voters and president biden did the opposite he's passing the torch putting his country first and paving the way for the next generation of democratic leadership in vice president harris to bring our country forward, not back and improve the lives of all americans. >> we've already seen from republicans that a line of attack they're going to use against the vice president, but also probably against a lot of your candidates for house and senate is this idea that democrats in washington knew were trying to cover up what

they knew about president biden's health and republicans argue he's, he wasn't up to the job democrats knew about it and they covered it up from you, the voters does that argument resonate? >> when you test it? >> and how do you push back against it? >> look, i think that those are just more games by a republican party that's desperate to talk about anything sides their policy failures. i mean, the reality is vice president harris, as united, the party, they're choosing incited incredible enthusiasm among democrats and she's already out on the campaign trail these last three days talking about what choice we have this election, democrats led by vice president harris, we're going to continue lowering your health care costs. we're going to bring down the cost of childcare. we're going to build safer communities and we're going to make sure that we protect a woman's right to make decisions over her health care. take that in contrast to republicans and donald trump

who have a 900 page manifesto in project 2025, that would eliminate overtime pay for workers who want to work extra to make ends meet health care health insurance corporations that would eliminate coverage for people with pre-existing conditions and literally government tracking and moderate monitoring. women's pregnancies please so i think that is what they're running away from. is that contrast because they know that their policies are deeply unpopular with the american people congressman, the prime minister of israel addressed congress yesterday. i know you did not attend your met with hostage families outside the capital. there were scenes of violence with protesters ripping down american flags and burning them what what what was your reaction to that? what would you say to the people who did that look, we have a strong tradition in our country of peaceful protest and it's very much a part of our foundation our democracy. >> but when that protest turns

violent what it impinges on other people's freedoms there's no place for that in our country, in our discourse. and i think you're seeing that reaction to those protests this morning and that will continue. >> all right. congresswoman trail in for us this morning, congressman, i really appreciate your time. i hope it come back. thank you. >> all right. let's turn now to sports. there was a chaotic scene at the very first event in the paris olympics at the soccer match between argentina and morocco. andy scholes has this morning's bleacher report. andy, good morning. yeah. good morning. kasie. the opening ceremony isn't until tomorrow, but some competitions are already underway at the paris olympics have to. a wild start yesterday. so in men's soccer, morocco was leading argentina two-to-one deep into stoppage time, but argentina would score this wild goal here too. tie the game. they would go crazy, but so too the morocco fans in attendance, many of them throwing trash, some of them running onto the field. so officials tell the players to leave the field and they make all all the fans

leave the stadium. so ends in a tie game, right? the broadcast even signed off but morocco argue that argentina was offsides on the tying goal and they went to video review at that one was the case about two hours later in an empty stadium, argentina, morocco retook the field, finished the game with morocco winning two-to-one. the argentina coach saying through it all, this was the biggest circus. he'd ever been a part of the u.s. men's soccer team. meanwhile, back in the olympics for the first time in 16 years, but not getting off to the start they wanted in the men's tournament, teams are made up of players 23 and younger with three exceptions us held tough for the first half people in the game nil-nil. but france would break through in the 61st minute and they would go on to win three to nothing. the women meanwhile, they're going to take the field today for their opening game. >> the team only has eight players returning from 2020 tokyo team and they're led by coach emma hayes, who has been in charge for just two months. rose lavelle, she was a member of that team that won bronze in tokyo three years ago. and she told our coy wire despite the

lack of experience to expect tastes still the same it's exciting. >> i think we have obviously a lot of new faces but i think they're all really good. special. they bring something different and i think they've just added so much to the group in elevated us when you play for the u.s. women's national team, like that's. like pressures just kind of they're always so i think it kind of becomes your new normal and you like learn to live in it and learn to thrive in it. the nba yesterday and now it's signed its new media rights deal with disney, nbc, and amazon after saying it was not accepting warner brothers discovery is matching offers and warner bros discovery is cnn's parent company, and has been airing the nba for 40 years. and wbd announced they were matching amara was on to bid. they had matching rights based on their previous deal, the nba though said it was not a true match to

which wbd said in a statement, kasie, we will take appropriate action so it looks like this battle is going to head to the courtroom, but it really just set in yesterday for a lot of nba fans at this upcoming season is likely to last for inside the nba yeah a lot of people there. all right, andy. thank you so much for that. i really appreciate it okay. >> ahead here on cnn this morning, president biden's historic speech to the nation the reaction to his decision to exit the 2024 race and we'll speak live with democratic congresswoman debbie dingell on the president's passing of the torch welcome to the now way to network they switch to junipers, ai, native network now, everyone's still productive. >> they're operating at a higher gear. now their network is self-configuring self-protecting answer so there it team deals with up to 90% fewer network troubled ticket
