i think she knows what it's like to be vice president, obviously, since she was vice president. so that's so fresh in her mind, but it's all about the connection and relationship and she has the longest one with roy cooper from north carolina? >> yeah, it's interesting congressman, eye on vance what do you think the opportunities are for him? i mean, we've kind of excavating the archives, the childless cat ladies thing very briefly, that was absolutely another horrific thing that he said in the women. >> i wish you could see the woman's member jet. we have a lot of very blunt things i mean, j.d vance and by the way, i just wish to say this is going to be a replay of michigan versus ohio state, michigan one last year. and we're going to win this year to go black michigan. to be clear, neither democrats, it's not going over me all right. >> thanks, sir. our panel. thanks to all of you for joining us. i'm kasie hunt. don't go anywhere. cnn new central starts right now kamala

harris releases are first campaign video this morning featuring none other than beyonce, donald trump says this. >> if you don't mind, i'm not i'm going to be nice closing the chapter president joe biden speaks to the nation about his decision to step aside saying he reveres the office, but loves his country more. >> his plans plans for his final six months in office and breaking just moments ago, a novel business strategy from southwest airlines give the customers what they want the open seating system that we think pretty much everyone hated where will we find so much discomfort again i'm john berman with sara sidner and kate bolduan. this is cnn news central just moments it's ago, just out moments ago kamala

harris with her first campaign video since launching this presidential bid, her campaign theme. >> we choose freedom we believe in the promise of america, and we're ready to fight for it because one fight joy there is that. and later today, a huge and fraught foreign policy moment for kamala harris is sitting down one-on-one with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. will she stake out a different position on israel and its war against hamas? then joe biden, or will she remain? in lockstep with joe biden? we will soon maybe find out add this all up and it's no surprise then that the tone down and nicer donald trump of one week ago is no longer when you're dealing with these people, they're very dangerous people when you're dealing with them, you can't be too nice here, really can't be. so if you don't mind, i'm not going to be nice. is that okay? >> a huge day ahead in presidential politics, just

after president biden gave an emotional address to the nation about his decision to step aside with his family by his side, the president told the nation leaving the race was a matter of saving democracy cnn's priscilla alvarez in houston for us. she's joining us now where this is where kamala harris is going to be starting her day. what tell us more about what you're hearing about this, about this new campaign video, and what we're going to see today. >> the vice president has had to strike a balance this week between acknowledging the president's abrupt departure from the presidential race. while also defining her own campaign. and that is a glimpse of what we're getting this morning from that you campaign video released just moments ago. take a listen there are some people who think he should be a country of chaos, a fear of hate but us, we choose something different we choose

freedom now the video also takes through multiple issues, reproductive rights, gun violence, health care, and more will likely be a key theme of her campaign that no one is above the law of course gate, where the vice president is going is notable. she was in battleground, wisconsin this week. that's where you see some of those images in that video. it shows an indianapolis yesterday talking to a black sorority. and today here in houston, texas, he's going to be speaking to the american federation of teachers, which is the second largest teachers union so while she is on the campaign trail, she is talking about prosecuting the case against former president donald trump. but there's also articulating what it is exactly that's at stake at the election. that was something that she was already testing as the running mate to the president. and now she is taking it to a bigger stage as the democratic but candidate

and expected democratic nominee. now, as you also mentioned, should we returning to washington today where she's going to be with prime minister benjamin netanyahu on policy. the president and the vice president have been on lockstep, but the vice president has also been the voice in the administration talking about the plight of the palestinians. remember, those remarks in selma, where she described the deteriorating and dire conditions in gaza. so you can expect that that will be part of the conversation that she has with the israeli prime minister as she closes out, what has been a momentous week in this campaign, one that brought an endorsement fundraising, and we expect a lot more to come yeah. >> i mean, and just today well, it's all going to happen is going to be a huge day ahead, brazil. >> thank you so much, john. >> yeah. along those lines very shortly, president biden will meet with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> this is his first major action in this new final phase of his presidency from the oval office, biden told the nation, quote, i revere this office, but i love my country more see

it as arlette size is at the white house this morning. so arlette, how is the president approaching this day and this meeting in this whole new phase? >> well, john president biden has made clear that one of his top priority is in his final six months in office, will be trying to find an end to this conflict in gaza. the president today will turn his focus to that very issue when he hosts israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu here at the white house for a meeting. this will be their first meeting since, biden had traveled to israel, of course, men have spoken on the phone multiple times over the course of this conflict. and after that sit-down meeting, they will also both be meeting together with the families of the american hostages who are believed to be held in gaza. now this meeting is coming at a critical juncture as president biden himself has indicated hey, did he believes they are on the verge of reaching some type of agreement that would put an end to this conflict and bring those hostages home to their families. but still there are

so many details that need to be worked out yesterday, a senior administration official said that they do not believe netanyahu is standing in the way or delaying any type of deal. but if they ever reach that conclusion, they said that they would publicly make that clear. now, this a potential hostage and ceasefire deal, as well as developments in gaza are expected to be on the agenda for this meeting. the two men are also expected to discuss threats that are posed by iran. but at the same time, president biden is now grappling with this transition of his time in office last night, president, the president spoke emotionally very somberly from the oval office as he talked about his decision to step out of the 2024 race, the president, president notably did not make any reference to the democratic pressure campaign that was underway as many democrats had publicly expressed their concerns that biden would be able, unable to effectively campaign or beat donald trump in november instead, the president tried to portray this decision as one

aimed at uniting the country and really preserving democracy it has been a central argument of this white house and his campaign's take a listen i believe my record as president, my leadership in the world my vision for america's future all merited 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 our nation now, the president said he has a long to-do list for his final months in office, including trying to grow the economy further and also calling for supreme court reform it. but in those remarks, the president also had praise for his vice president and argued that it is now up to the american people to make their choice and choose to preserve democracy in this election it wasn't emotional

moment with his family in the room as he was delivering that address or let signs. thanks so much for being there. appreciate it. >> no more, mr. nice sky, former president trump, launching a full-scale attack on kamala harris is new strategy against his new opponent and what appears to be a first fighter jets intercepted russian and chinese bombers, flying near us airspace plus first lady joe biden touched down in france just a few days ago decked out and her team, usa gear details on her role in the olympic opening ceremony. which happens tomorrow saturday on the whole story, political violence has always threatened our democracy after the attempt on trump's life. >> where does america goal for me? here, the whole story with anderson cooper, political violence, a america as bloody history, saturday at 8:00 on cnn you have to do is just look into his eyes he, know he's got it the passion that

be nice. is that okay cnn's steve contorno joins me now he didn't stay nice during the actual speech at the convention. >> and now he's warning, he's about to be himself right? we expect this exactly. sara, nice trump only lasted about 30 minutes through that convention speech. and nice trump certainly didn't make an appearance last night. he was on the attack from almost the moment he took the stage. take a listen to what he had to say about his new potential democratic opponents. >> now we have a new victim to defeat lyon kamala harris lyon ly in she is a radical left lunatic who will destroy our country. kamala, you've done a terrible job. you've been terrible at everything you've done, your ultra-liberal that we don't want you here. we don't want you anywhere. kamala, you're fired, get adding trump went on to

criticize vice president harris for not appearing at prime minister netanyahu's speech at congress yesterday, he said she's totally against the jewish people. >> that's a reminder markable statement given that her own husband, of course, is jewish, the second gentleman. she also is going to meet with netanyahu one-on-one today. and meanwhile, trump's own vice presidential pick, j.d. vance, didn't appear at the joint session of congress either. but look, this is obviously an attempt by donald trump to get on the attack early plea on vice president harris. the ground is shifting very quickly beneath this campaign. this is a very different race than it was just a week ago. his own campaign put out new material in a memo suggesting that they expect this race to get much closer and potentially for vice president harris to maybe even get ahead and so there is a rush by his campaign to define her before she can get on the airwaves and get around the country and start to find to

define herself trump though couldn't resist taking some final parting shots at president joe biden. he released of some posts on truth, social criticizing biden's oval office address, calling it your quote, so bad and saying biden was barely understandable, sara steve contorno back to his old tricks. thank you so much. appreciate it. kate also breaking overnight for the first time, us fighter jets intercepted both russian and chinese bombers flying near alaska. >> the dangerous new escalation, we have new reporting on this and also mandatory evacuations are happening as we speak are underway a as a wildfire in california is growing exploding to consume or 45,000 acres the, five things podcast, but from cnn based top five stories, all in one podcast the five things you need to hear in under five minutes prime members can

tonight attack on tbs, set your dvr now breaking overnight and apparent first us fighter jets intercepted both chinese and russian bombers off the coast of alaska on the north american aerospace defense command says the bombers remained in international airspace. cnn's natasha bertrand is live for us this morning at the pentagon. give us some sense of the importance of what happened there in the air, even though they were still in international airspace. >> well, sorry, this is a very significant event. it actually marks the first time according to a defense official that the chinese and russian bombers have actually flown in this space together. and the u.s. and canada, they actually scrambled fighter jets to intercept these bombers, but they were not seen as a threat. it, was, just something that the u.s. and canada felt that they had to respond to, according to a statement from nor at these bombers, they did stay in international airspace even though they entered the

alaska air defense identification zone. and again, you know, the russian bombers they were intercepted, the chinese bombers were intercepted without incident didn't. but still it is a very significant event because we are starting to see now the chinese kind of entered this space in a way that they haven't previously. now, according to norad, these events are not necessarily that uncommon, but it is uncommon again, for these chinese bombers to enter this kind of space. and so while the u.s. has not not necessarily always intercepted these russian bombers when they have seen them flying in international airspace very close to or entering alaska air defense identification zone in this instance, they felt like they had to simply because it is not something you see every day. and of course they felt like they had to respond in this sara, a very unusual situation, as you mentioned, and the unusual thing is that the chinese have joined russia in the skies. they are very close to alaska. thank you so much, natasha bertrand. appreciate

his support behind kamala harris. hoffman now joins what's become a tidal wave of donation supporting the vice president from democratic grassroots up to the mic take a party donors also including abigail disney, who had publicly announced that she was stopping donations to the democratic party. do democratic candidates unless and until do biden dropped his bid, cnn's matt egan has more on this is tracking all of this for us. met you spoke to reed hoffman. what did he tell you? >> okay. he's going all in on kamala harris, the linkedin billionaire. he dismissed the idea that silicon valley is turning towards former president trump. he said that in fact, many parts of the tech industry are very excited about vice president harris. and he argued that it's really harris not trump, who would be stronger for business and stronger for american families. take a listen to why that is trump wants tariffs, which has anti-business. >> you know, makes us a very

strange election indeed, because i think actually vice president harris is much more of the pro-business candidate than trump and vance, but vice president harris, she wants to raise the corporate tax rate, the harris biden administration or biden-harris administration has in fact imposed tariffs. so aren't there some anti-business concerns there as well? >> i think what's most important for business is stability of a country, unity rule of law and a percent difference in corporate tax or 2%, or 3% difference in corporate tax is far, far less important. >> now the trump campaign, of course, has argued otherwise saying that former president trump is the one that's going to put more money in the pockets of american families and blaming the biden-harris administration for the high cost of living know, even reid hoffman conceded that he's not thrilled with all parts of the biden administration in particular he strongly

criticized lina khan, the ftc chair he said that lina khan is quote waging war on american business. and he went so as so far as to say that he hopes that a president harris would replace lina khan at the ftc. know the agency pushed back telling cnn in a statement that chair khan is honored to work in this administration where she has worked to protect consumers, workers, and entrepreneurs from corporate abuses. and it's worth remembering that lina khan, she's won some fans on the left for her efforts to fight monopolies, to try to push back against the big oil and big tech and interestingly enough, she even has a fan on the republican ticket j.d. vance has said that lina khan is one of the only biden officials who's doing a good job right now. so just for everyone scoring at home, you have a situation where a democratic

megadonor is slamming a biden appointed regulator who actually has won praise from a republican vp nominee another reminder, kate, of how strange this election really is. >> and a lot and a lot in a little time to go still it seems matt, thank you so much, john. >> all right. just moments ago, politico released its morning playbook discussing what they call the race to define kamala harris, the vice president, quote, some democrats we talked to yesterday are starting to worry that the harris campaign, which has raised some one 100 million. this isn't spending at fast enough to get harris ads on the air in swing states to tell her story before it's told for now, there is a new video out today. it hasn't been turned into a campaign commercial just yet. but with me now, tim hogan, democratic consultant, former spokesperson for hillary clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and cnn senior you're political commentator, scott jennings him. i do want to start with you because on this issue of defining harris is now thursday every day here things move so,

so quickly. but what more do you think the fledgling harris campaign needs to do? to define her especially in response to these new attacks roll republicans calling her dangerously liberal yeah, leave it to democrats to raise 126 million. >> best days neck blues history and be worried. but yeah, she needs to get out there. she was out there in milwaukee at her first campaign rally probably she was in indiana yesterday. i think what she's doing is laying a strong contrast and you're hearing it everywhere she goes, that this is a campaign between a prosecutor and a convicted felon. this is someone who wants to protect reproductive rights versus someone who cheers that he was able to overturn roe and someone who is looking out for the middle-class and someone who has billionaire backers, who they just want to give tax cuts to the wealthy for, but it really is about flooding the zone and i don't think the trump campaign has a good answer yet either for defining harris. if you look at trump's rally, there are sort of throwing the kitchen sink to see what sticks. and i don't

think they know what their messaging is going to be going forward. >> interesting, you say that that tim, because in the new york times today our friend maggie haberman along with jonathan swan, wrote about just that issue. they say, quote for the first time since donald j. trump was indicted in the spring of 2023, he is lost grip on the news cycle temporarily, at least his message instead of commanding morning tonight, media attention, the former president his allies suddenly find themselves reacting to their opponents. scott casting about for messaging, we had days of complaining about the process in the democratic party. we had the whole dei comments, which i think the party establishment is trying to run from this fast as they can but has donald trump been knocked a little off his feet well, i mean it has hit his fault. >> i mean, the democrats have done something. so crazy, outrageous, and unprecedented. hear that it's hard to, hard to plan for when you let the

votes of 14 million people be tossed out by the ceo of linkedin and nancy pelosi in see that exactly but see scott. that that is the messaging i think we did here for two days and there are some republicans saying that's not enough. you got to move past the process look, here's well, i mean, you're the one who's attacking her. they're the ones attacking trump for losing control. the news is i look, here's the bottom line. there's an easy way to attack kamala harris. she was the most liberal senator when she served she, ran for president and laid out a budget positions that are not going to fly with the american people, including ending fracking and pennsylvania. and she has been the number two person in an administration that 65% of the american people think has failed. it's very simple. they do not need to overthink it or over complicated. there is an ad on the air in pennsylvania from the dave mccormick senate campaign. he's a republican nominee and pennsylvania that pretty well lays it all out. there's an easy way to go about this, and i do agree with this reporting. the next two weeks is the race to definition of kamala harris can trump and

his people get to that message first, or can harris and her people start to put a bit of a protective shield around her to guard her i think the next two weeks is critical. and who gets there first on how we're going to view harris as a national figure. >> and ten very quickly, do you have the protective shield against what's scott just said there? >> i mean, look, i think i think what kamala harris is going to do on the trail is not to go back and talk about 20:19 positions. i know republicans are obsessed with that. they're obsessed about looking backwards. they're talking about 14 million votes. voters care about what's ahead of them and an agenda laid out for our future. and so i think that is what kamala harris is strength is going to be is republican binzer obsessed with process right now, voters don't care. voters care about their pocketbooks. they care about their everyday lives and that's the message that the harris campaign is going to lay out on the issue of defining candidates i want to talk about the now vice presidential nominee for the republicans, j.d vance. it's got actually asked you this before the convention, if donald trump is

doing really well as vance the right pick versus if he need something extra there and now there seems to be some people in the party who are a little bit having some buyer's remorse, axios reports this morning on the whole, the feeling is j.d. vance doesn't add much. another house republican said of trump picking vance. and i think we have a graphic of this. and now with camila at the top, the capacity to have expanded the map a little bit would have been much more beneficial. regrets about vance scott i don't know. >> i think people are imbuing too much power and ability in a vice presidential choice, whether he chose vance or anybody else. i just don't personally believe these people traditionally usually make all that much of a difference is j.d. vance ever going to be a vegas act? know but that's okay. i mean, the show here for the republicans is trump. they're going to rise and fall based on trump, his image, and whether people want to return him to the oval office. i don't think picking a different person would've necessarily expanded the matt i mean, heck, it's already expanded. i mean, republicans are now competing in states

they haven't won in several cycles. so i'm you know, i think some of this is just carping about by people, maybe their favorite candidate didn't get chosen, but i'm not too worried about this because ultimately, this ticket rises and falls on trump. and really nobody else. >> people do love this sphere in las vegas got just saying there was a bit you think you can call it opposition research or digging on j.d vance, where they unearth an interview from 2021, were vance was with tucker carlson and he criticized then vice president kamala harris, as well as alexandra ocasio-cortez and pete buttigieg for not having children's saying basically because they didn't have children, they didn't have the best interests the country at heart, childless cat ladies, was a phrase that jd vance us and when people saw that over the last day, to unleash some holy hell, including from jennifer aniston who posted on instagram overnight. and this caught a lot of people's attention this morning. she wrote, all i can say is mr.

vance, i pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children over own one day and it's wrote, i hope she will not need to turn to ivf as a second option because you are trying to take that away from her too. again, this is something vance said some time ago, tim but how much do you think democrats can or should exploit this yeah, there's another video of him that's emerging, making those comments. >> once again, i think democrats should talk about this. i think the best way i've heard of talked about is from the governor of minnesota, tim walz, who just keeps saying these guys kaiser weird. why are they talking about other people's children? why is this a position that a vice presidential candidate is taking? and it's completely alienated, doesn't, doesn't help him whatsoever, but it's so j.d. vance that he's just an inflammatory pontificate are i mean, is this good for single conservative women, for people who want to. use ivf who are struggling to have children. it's just an example. i think of why jd is a problem on the

ticket. he doesn't expand for trump. he doubles down. it's a testosterone ticket that i think is going to explode the gender gap in this election. >> very quickly, scott, i'm surprised. yeah, i'm surprised that tim is worried about these comments from three or four years ago, just 60 seconds ago, he said things that kamala harris said three or four years ago shouldn't matter. no, voter is going to care about that. they only care about the future. but we got to care about some things j.d. vance said in an interview before he was ever even elected us senator from ohio, i guess double-standard, maybe 2021 while he was running. >> all right. scott jennings, tim hogan, i appreciate the discussion this morning, i think for viewers, they can see where this is headed, sort of the parameters of where the discussion will be over the next few days. really appreciate your time, guys. is there all right. this morning, dr. jill biden arrived in paris for this year's olympic games. the first lady will lead the us delegation. jen for tomorrow's opening ceremony. it's a trip that signals how her role may be remembered at home. and on the world stage setting that global stage, the host city of paris, i want to bring in cnn

senior international correspondent melissa bell. you spoke exclusively with the mayor what can you tell us about tomorrow's ceremony? >> well, it's sara, they're remaining very tight lipped about what artists might take part, but what they are saying is that this is likely to be spectacular six kilometers along the river sand the very first time an opening 70 has been held on a river and not in a stadium to securities been extremely tight ahead of this 45,000 security personnel, those soldiers and policemen, making sure that perimeter around it that's six kilometer stretch of the sen. is safe. there is one outstanding question given that this is happening outdoors with dances that are planned along the rooftops of paris. and that is the weather. this is what i needed go had to say just now the rain will be a problem if we have rain tomorrow because many moments in this show need

to be very safe for the dense and without ran, with without water may be maybe we will lucky tomorrow. >> tomorrow is the santana and i say may be, may be can you help us what's planned at the moment, sara is rain in the morning, sunshine in the afternoon. >> so fingers crossed that would absolutely put a dampener on what promises to be the most spectacular opening ceremony we've ever seen if all goes well, sara, i understand that there's already a little bit of sort of olympic intrigue. >> what can you tell us about why the canadian olympic chiefs had to apologize? >> that's the first day of competitions was actually yesterday ahead of the ceremony and already controversies this time to do with canada's

female football team, the allegations and investigation has been opened surrounds at someone from their delegation who used a drone, sara, to spy on the training of the team that they're preparing? bring to play that is the new zealand women's football team that's being investigated and taken very seriously. but of course, already, even before it's begun, that is one of the first controversies too. we have dogged the game espionage around the training of the new zealand football women's teams. there. >> all right. there's going to be a lot of drama and a lot of different ways melissa bell in paris. thank you so much. appreciate it okay. >> so possibly even more anticipated than his meeting with biden he's meeting with harris, the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu now who's sitting down with the vice president today, what is harris a stance on israel now that she is at the top of the democratic ticket, we could soon find out the southwest airlines announcing major changes including getting rid of it's first-come, first-serve seating in the biggest shift in airlines in

2022, we saw an increase of 3% in infant deaths that rate generally had been coming down since 1995. we have seen a few increases since 2002, but none of them were statistically significant. so the cdc which compiled these data is actually saying saying this is the first actual real increase since 2002. and when you look at the data, there are variations based on geography, based on age and race. you see that younger moms tended to have higher infant mortality rates. and you can see by geography the highest state is mississippi, the lowest was massachusetts. and there's quite a lot lot of variability in those numbers. babies born to black moms, as you pointed out, they had the highest infant mortality rate approaching 11 per one 1,000 births. that compares with three-and-a-half for asian moms and foreign four-and-a-half for white moms. so there's a lot of variability in these data. >> any sense of why this might have had happens yeah, in 2022. >> we know that roe v. wade was

overturned. that happened in june. researchers say it's unlikely that this jump was solely tribute able to that, although we have seen data from texas, for example, showing an increase in infant mortality after their abortion ban went into effect in 2021 the leading causes of death were the same between 2021 and 2022, but the one that had the most significant increase was maternal complications. researchers say it's possible covid, contributed to this increase moms getting infected in 2021, for example, also a bad respiratory season in 2020 to this is stuff that researchers are going to be digging into and really aiming to turn the trajectory around. >> all right, make sure all thanks for highlighting this morning. appreciate it. thanks okay. >> sara. >> thank you, john. fire threatening lives and homes in northern california this morning mandatory evacuations are underway in several northern california counties. this so named party fire has the past 45,000 acres. take a look at this time lapse video showing the fires, rapid growth exploding with thick smoke,

days after launching her presidential bid, kamala harris is diving into one of the stickiest and fraught foreign policy issues of our time. israel's war against hamas. the vice president is sitting down with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu this afternoon, just after his sit-down with president biden, the big question, what stance will kamala harris take on israel on the war against hamas? will she remain in lockstep with joe biden? joe biden's policy or something different? cnn's isaac dovere has new reporting on all of this and it's great reporting this morning. isaac how big of a test is this for harris? >> well, it's a huge test as you say, this has been a pretty consequential week for kamala harris and a political life and no big deal. next up, she's got to deal with israel. it's a politically fraught issue. it's an issue that she is under sure attack for already by some republicans tried to make an issue out of it it is something that has divided the democratic party for this whole year and will be part of the argument that is going on into

november in tight states. and of course, she's also navigating joe biden, the incumbent president, who stance on israel's very clear and who is is not done working on this issue as he tries to get a hostage and ceasefire deal. but it's so much going on that just yesterday, her husband, doug emhoff, got on a call of jewish supporters to talk to them about trying to say what her position is on israel since it's such a big question. so let's take a listen to what happened there on that call. >> let me just make this clear vice president harris has been and will be a strong supporter of israel as a secure, democratic, and jewish state and she will always ensure that israel can defend itself period. that's who kamala harris is so look, that's of course, emhoff himself, who's jewish, talking about this, saying she's a strong supporter of israel, but not getting deep into the details of it. the details obviously are almost

everything here. i mean, joe biden is arguably the most explicitly pro israel american president that we've seen. does kamala harris fashion herself the same? >> well, that's an interesting question, kate, because just two weeks ago as biden was trying to salvage his campaign, he yet again said in an interview that he has a proud zionist. he said, you don't have to be jewish to be a zionist. it's what we should all be yesterday, i asked kamala harris's office whether she considers herself as ionised and i did not get a direct yes or no answer to that. i did get a long statement from one of her aides saying that she supports israel and the defense of israel are also supports a palestinian state, but does not, did not engage on that one. word of zionism. that's a word that for a century met one thing, but over the last year has become caught up in all sorts of politics and especially from the leftwing of the democratic party, trying to make that into a bad word and clearly that is

part of what harris is trying to navigate here too. >> isaac, great reporting on this arguably, i think we'd said it earlier, the meeting with joe biden, important. of course, the current president, but arguably the more important sit down today would be the israeli prime minister sitting down with the vp. now, it's good to see you sir. >> that's a great point. washington post columnist, josh rogin is joining me now to discuss more on this. you just heard from isaac dovere kamala harris is meeting with netanyahu today she was the first person in the biden administration to publicly call for a ceasefire do you expect her to be harder on netanyahu than joe biden has been sure. >> well, you couldn't have imagined a month ago and speaker johnson invited prime minister netanyahu to speak to congress. that kamala harris would be the presumptive nominee, and that joe biden would essentially be a lame duck. and now they're she has

this new role what she says in this meeting with netanyahu will be extremely important and what her office is already putting out is that she's going to deliver a tough message that she's going to warn him that if he doesn't shift his policies to more be more in line with both what the biden administration wants in terms of security bring a ceasefire but also in terms of giving more aid and an dignity and agency to the palestinians in gaza that the policy could change under her watch, that they're not saying that they're just signaling that. and that's already been netanyahu has to take very seriously. on the other hand, and if she doesn't win, then trump comes back in and nothing i go will have a free hand, so it could go either way for them you mentioned trump. >> he is also going to be meeting with donald trump, who is the presumptive republican presidential nominee. what do you expect there and how unusual is that? he's hedging his bets clearly yeah, know, every foreign leader in the world is trying to make inroads

with the trump administration whether you're president zelenskyy or prime minister kishida, or prime minister netanyahu. you're trying to meet with trump or someone close to trump. and i think that's actually totally normal and should be not controversial. but ai think what you'll see him, the meeting between netanyahu and trump is a love fest you know, a promise from trump that all of these pressures that the biden administration and especially a possible harris administration are threatening. were not occur under his watch and of course, netanyahu was going to love that message. so he'll have a very stark difference between his two interactions and like i said, he can't be sure none of us can be sure who's going to win. so i think he just has to play it cool and try to listen to both and not anger either. and that's the needle that he's trying to thread while he's here in washington i do want to ask you about this moment where netanyahu speaking to congress, went after pro-palestinian protesters here in america who are, have been protesting because they are angry about

the death toll and the humanitarian crisis in gaza here's what he said about american protesters i have a message for these protesters when the tyrants of tehran who had gained from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair, appraising, promoting and funding you you have officially become iran's useful idiots what do you make of what he said in some of his comments? >> he also said that the protesters were pro hamas for rapist and killers and some of the protesters, a good deal of them are jewish americans. >> right? i mean, i've been talking to protesters in washington about this for the last ten months and a very small portion are those who actually support hamas or what they're doing, the vast majority have what i consider to be legitimate concerns with israeli conduct during the war and the treatment of palestinians. and that's

mimicked. share those concerns are shared by a lot of israelis, not just jewish americans like this jewish american, but a lot of israelis every aid group on the ground. so netanyahu i think missed an opportunity to acknowledge that these are legitimate concerns and denigrated these protesters. and i don't think that's good for israel or for the palestinians. just to be honest. >> josh rogin. thank you so much for bringing your perspective here to west this morning, a new hour of cnn, new central starts right now new candidate check, new campaign video as of this morning, czech new running mate standby to standby, the latest on the harrison campaign that is taking shape in the race now to define kamala harris, the candidate before the other guy does and no more mr. nice guy. >> just a week after toning it down at the republican convention bench. and after his assassination attempt, donald trump's message now to supporters, if you don't mind, i'm not going to be nice when it comes to kamala harris
