journalist and one of his greatest fears was to be captured. well, tonight he is behind bars on this side of the border after pleading not guilty to helping lead a mass of criminal enterprise responsible for a majority of the fentanyl in the u.s. and now what we've heard from multiple sources paints a picture really of betrayal according to one source telling her colleague, evan perez, a law enforcement official that is reviewed this investigation and is actually seeing the way this all played out it seems that mile was told that he would be boarding a plane yesterday to actually go see your property to potentially purchase it here. however, according to what we now know that it was in fact one of joaquin el chapo guzman own signs that likely cooperate it with investors that's the gators. both of these men behind bars right now, and ultimately pamela, we'll have to see is what are the repercussions that will see south of the border >> it's a massive power vacuum that needs to be filled panel, right? polo sandoval. thank you so much. >> i'm pamela brown in the situation room. >> erin burnett outfront starts now outfront next, the breaking

news, harris closing the gap with trump, erasing the lead he wants had over biden to brand new polls out tonight show harris with the momentum right now plus trial and error trump unloading a series of new attacks against kamala harris. >> which ones are real? which ones are lies? >> we go through them and breaking news, the fbi tonight revealing what hit trump's ear during his attempted assassination let's go outfront and good evening. i'm erin burnett on this friday, outfront tonight, breaking news on kamala harris. she is surging a brand new poll out just moments ago showing harris is now in a statistics well dead heat with donald trump surging ahead of where biden was just before he dropped out of the race earlier this month, trump had a six point lead over biden, six points in electoral politics in this country is a chasm. the wall street journal's numbers now though tracking with the trend we've been seeing from other polls from cnn and the new york times

and when it comes to the all-important indicator of voter enthusiasm 81% of harris voters say they're enthusiastic about her 37% for biden there's another poll that came out just before we came on the air. this one from fox news, and it's in the battleground states very important, showing harris slightly ahead or tied with trump in for all important battleground states will tick through a michigan 49, 49. trump was up by seven against biden in the last michigan poll minnesota harris leads 50 to 46 in pennsylvania. again, it is now tied 49, 49. biden had been slipping there behind trump in the must-win state of pennsylvania as well. and in wisconsin and tonight, just one percentage points separates the two in the fox news poll. and it all comes in the context of the eyes on trump's ticket, trump's running mate, j.d. vance, making another unforced error tonight, as he looks to tamp down criticism over his disparaging remarks about, quote, childless cat ladies, instead, when he tried to dampen it down, he has created a new front firestorm. tonight

making it clear that quote, i've gotten nothing against cats. but going on to say that the left has become anti-family and the democrats want to replace american children with immigrants i've got nothing against cats, have got nothing against all because i've got one dog people are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance of what i actually said in the substance of what i said, meghan, i'm sorry. >> it's true. it is true that we become anti-family. it is true that the left has become anti-child, but the simple point that i made is that having children becoming a father, becoming a mother, i really do think it changes your perspective and it pretty profound way. this is about criticizing the democratic party for becoming anti-family and anti-child. a lot of liberals and a lot of people on the left will say, well, we can just replace american children with immigrants well, the clarification as he thinks it is stems from this interview that vance did all the way back in 2021 with tucker carlson

we're effectively run in this country via the democrats be via our corporate oligarch's by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made all right, at the time and even at that time in 2021, those comments did get a lot of attention and they got a lot of criticism back in 2021, vance actually tried to clarify what he meant. here's what he said. >> look, a lot of people are unable to have kids for very complicated and important reasons there i know, you know, good friends of mine who has struggled to find the right girl, find the right guy. there are people, of course, for biological reasons, medical reasons, they can't have children the target of these remarks is not them. it's important to point that out all right, so trump if an advanced himself say that those comments say that he's not going after people who can't have children rather, he is going after people who choose not to have children. >> but is that really a distinction when his fundamental conclusion is completely and change, which is

that people who have children see the world differently and are invested in the future of their country in a way that people who don't have children aren't. i mean, just listen to what vance said in that same speech. >> think about all those people. the names are obvious, they're well-known people. kamala harris, mayor pete buttigieg, who is now the secretary of transportation cory booker, aoc. think all these people there are different that come from different walks of life, different parts of the country. what is the one thing that unites every single one of them? not a single one of them has any children. why is this just a normal fact of american life that the leaders of our country should be people who don't have a personal and direct stake in it via their own offspring, via their own children, and grandchildren. >> so there's the bottom line. it's not about whether you weren't able to have children or you couldn't or you chose not to. it's about that. if you don't, you are lesser. and the reality of it is, of course, if he was trying to make the point that his party

is pro family and the democrats aren't. there are a lot of policy ways you could choose to do that not this way. and this could come at a cost because according to a new pew research center survey, nearly half of adults under the age of 50 say they don't want kids that's a lot of people, a lot of voters, and we're going to much more on this in just a moment. i want to begin though with mj lee because she's outfront live outside the white house on these new poll numbers, all of which just sort of came out mj fast and furious. a lot for the harris campaign to be optimistic about at this hour that's totally right. we have a new poll tonight from the wall street journal that shows a very close two-way matchup between donald trump and vice president kamala harris, 49 to 47%. >> but this is yet another survey that seems to suggest that the vice president is outperforming president biden with traditionally democratic leaning group groups including younger voters and voters of color, which had become a trouble spots for the president before, of course he dropped out over the weekend. and when you dig more into the details

of this journal poll, you also see that there has been a spike in enthusiasm among democrats for their presumptive nominee see 76%. now say they feel enthusiastic about their preferred candidate that is up from 46%. that said the same previously. again, when president biden was at the top of the ticket. one issue where harris seems to outperform donald trump is the issue of abortion issues where trump outperforms harrison this pool or immigration and the economy. and i should just note on stepping back from all of the data on the polls that are coming up. of course the new harris campaign is very closely watching donald trump. they are also very closely watching his running mate, j.d. vance, including this childless cat, ladies comments. they said in a rapid response, x account for the camera the pain that his response to the backlash amounts to an apology to katz and doubling down on attacking women. very separately. the campaign also sent an email describing j.d. vance as a

creep and weird. i mean, this is clearly the campaign as it is gearing up, trying to paint a specific image of dollars for all trump's running mate aaron mj. >> thank you very much. and were words like creep and we're just not words one would have associated with the biden campaign using about vance, i mean, there's a shift, there's a shift in tone and attitude for sure, outfront now the democratic mayor of montgomery, alabama, steven reed, lulu garcia-navarro of the new york times, and navarro, cnn senior political comment tater and bill kristol, editor at large of the bulwark mayor. let me just start with you and it's great to have you here in-person in new york all these polls just coming out the wall street journal poll specifically though on the enthusiasm numbers and there's a range here, mj was talking about one at 76%, this poll, 81% say harris voters say they're enthusiastic about her. it was 37% for biden, just a few weeks ago. >> that's a 44 point jump on enthusiasm. >> what's happening right now inside your party? >> well, i think that there's a level of energy, level of

excitement behind the vice president does needed to make this a competitive race? i think what we see are black voters, women voters, and younger voters, very energetic and very interested invigorated, if you will to support the vice president. and that's what's needed to consolidate the base of the democratic party. and that's what's needed to make this a competitive race. >> now, that enthusiasm, of course, i know it's a national poll, certainly that's what we're seeing in the rally. he's lulu, but the battleground polls, there you've got dead heats and you had other than one state, those were dead heats prior as well. and obviously those battleground states are crucial. there's others as well, but these are crucial ones. >> these are crucial. i mean, that is what the election is going to be decided on. and this is great news for the harris campaign. you've got thought to be cheering if you're in that campaign right now because what it shows is that she really has been able to flip the script the people who support her are now feeling really enthusiastic. those enthusiasm numbers. i mean, look at that before it was like third in the 30s for president

biden. and now it's like in the 80s. but the number that really interested me where the double haters do remember i was talking about the double-haters so much because they hated trump and hated biden will guess what biden is no longer on the ticket and they are breaking for kamala harris. and so being able to move the margins little by little, it means a lot in this race, right? >> and those double-haters, right? him and that was a thing right? >> now. it's a completely, two completely different world and so anna enter into to the tickets mattering, we don't know the full ticket, obviously. and kamala harris is side but j.d. vance now says he's being sarcastic when he said the country was being run by a bunch of childless cat ladies and says this is not about criticizing people who, for various reasons didn't have kids, even though he fundamentally says, if you don't have kids, you're not vested in in the future of the country the way the people who have kids are yep. >> yep. yeah. i i'm talking to you as a childless dog lady and chacha and i take great offense at those remarks where j.d.

vance seems to indicate and it's not just one thing. take you can out of out-of-context. it's not just sarcasm. he has said it in different places and he has said it with different intentions. he's talked about people without children should have less votes that people with children should be able to have more votes. he's talked about it when it comes to tax policy he's talked about it in such respective way and i think it's really angering a lot of people. it's angering people who are childless because of choice or because of nature, or because they couldn't do it. it's angering people like jennifer aniston who don't come out and do politics often. and it's, it touched a nerve. it has touched a nerve and i was what kamala harris last night, i was at her residence and a meeting of latino leaders that have been scheduled before joe biden dropped out i sense a

level of enthusiasm. this is beginning to feel more like a movement and less like a traditional campaign. and i think that democrats had been in the doldrums for a long time. they were feeling defeated even before the elections, and they were going through the oceans. and this is now a campaign unburdened by the age issue and full of energy and just the fact that j.d vance is proving to be quite the catastrophe is icing on the cake and don't think i don't i didn't hear the emphasis on cat and catastrophe and i don't think i didn't hear it going to help my myself and make sure that didn't go by anybody. >> okay bill, when you hear though anna talking about that, it's starting to feel more like a movement than a traditional campaign. do you also see that now very much so. >> i mean, the big question when biden dropped out driving for for quite a long time was, what would it really make a

difference? and there are two ways to look at that in the short term, would there be a bump for while three things i think would there be a bump for vice president harris just because the age issue was gone? answer. yes. to would vice president harris looked like a compelling candidate? she was not great in 2019. let's not forget that. and so people were nervous about that she's done excellently in the first week and then the third question, which is unresolved, is, can she sustain it? and that's a little more complicated than getting that initial rush of enthusiasm that involves addressing a couple of issues that she's being attacked on the trump people off with tens of billions of dollars of ads attacking the rest of california liberal replaying some of her comments from 2019, which are a little bit to the left and the mainstream attacking her for being soft on crime. she needs to deal with those defensive way, i think. but then stay on the offensive very much and i do think i agree with what people have been saying normally the vp pick doesn't matter much. the vice presidential pick doesn't that advance is so out of the mainstream. so weird, so self-consciously, so, you know, normally the scandals and we've

been through this so many times about someone who's picked this quote, scandal is something someone said 15 years ago or some law enforcement brush, 25 five years ago when they were in college or something. okay. people look at it for a day or two, they decide this person has been in public life for 20 years. this isn't decisive. no one knows anything about vance. he's been a senator for 18 months these these things he said were three years ago when you introduced an error and you said he said way back three years ago 2021 years ago is correct? this is his current view. this is not something he said in 2007 that is moved on from and i think i think it's very this has a kind of resonance and a kind of seriousness about what it says about vance that isn't the case in these normal kind of bruhaha. >> it doesn't feel and i mean, it's hard because we're in the moments that this is the week that is coming out, lulu, but there's other i'll leave people to social media to see other stuff about j.d. vance right now. but those things come and go. this does feel because it is personal to every single person every single

human, that it could be more significant. >> i think it is more significant because what you're hearing from the republicans is that they're having buyer's remorse. i mean, this is what happened happens when you let don junior choose your vice presidential candidate, which is apparently what happened here and not when you're letting pure raw politics j.d. vance is used to speaking to the far right of the republican base. he is not used to trying to put a message that is going to appeal to the kinds of people that donald trump needs. he has been running behind with women. the gop in general has a problem with women, specifically when they're talking about reproductive rights, et cetera. and instead, what you have is another white man talking about the way women should be he having children. who is a mother who isn't, who is a parent who isn't that they should be having more voting rights i mean, that's kind of crazy, that really puts this, this debate on a completely different footing. >> when you talk about voting

rights and children, i mean, there was a report in abc today, bear that says that vince wants had argued for higher tax rate for people who don't have children at 20:21. ancient history, reportedly, he said, i'm going to quote, if you're making $100,000, $400,000 a year and you have three kids? three kids, right? it's okay. you should pay a different lower tax rate than if you're making the same amount of money and you don't have any kids? it's that simple now, vance's team says this is basically a child tax credit, but the democrats say, and that's semantics not disagree with that. >> i don't know where you come up with that type of logic, but then again, i'm not a supporter of j.d. vance know of his policies i think this is why the vice president is in such a strong position, right? now, i think that she has a vision for the future. i think that people understand what she has done in her life and public service and what she has done as vice president. and i think that's why the democratic party has united around vice president it really feels that jolt of adrenaline, if you will. that

is carrying us right now, will carry us forward over these next 100 plus plus anna, can i just ask you, i'm sure you had many conversations, same as i had that say ten days ago prior to july 6 when the assassinate assassination attempt happened and the democratic donors, it was a massive freak out. >> they had to get biden off and they had to not just get him off, but get anybody but kamala harris to be at the top of the ticket? right? that was the situation. and now here we are. do you have are you yourself surprised by what has happened? so quickly in this country? >> yes, i am i mean, it's it's been less than a week and it feels like it's been forever there are people calling an asking, what can i do? where do i sign up? how do i donate money? how do i get on one of those phone calls yesterday, there was a zoom call with it started with a black women zoom call that were there were 44,000 plus black women who

raised over who raised $2 then it was the black men call that people like roland martin, our former colleague and bakari sellers, our current colleague were on also broke the internet. and then yesterday, the white women we're here too, and they broke the internet with over 160,000 white women who have now raised over $8.5 million. oh, and i'm forgetting the latina women. i don't know how i could have forgotten that they're everybody wants to be part of this. but listen, i want to talk to you about this j.d. vance thing because i went back and i read the speech and i saw him. i saw the remarks that he was making. he does when he talks about childless people, he does it in a hateful way and he categorically specifically said that we should punish things that are bad i, ii, having no children, and reward things that are good. that is why he is suggesting things like giving folks with children more votes and giving people without children more taxes,

right? so it is, it is from that it is not sarcasm and it is not about child tax credit. it is about punishing people who don't have children and i have to inform mr. vance that we are not handmaid's tale we don't live under a society where adults in this country are forced to have children. >> it is a free choice and for some of us it's not even a free choice. >> some of us tried and couldn't do it and for the cruelty of that man to suggest that because i couldn't have a child, i should be punished by having less votes and paying more taxes. and being derided as a childless cat lady. and then he's going to talk to me about family values and christian values. shame on you, shame on you, and it is angering all sorts of people. it is angering women across the united states because we also have the abortion rights issue.

we also have the ivf issue that is being being affected by the dobbs decision i mean, it's just add it to the pot. >> so so bill, i want to give you a quick final word on the point though, and is making because you anna, you're talking about obviously your personal story, but also for harris, latina women, black women, white women, obviously bill, she didn't mention white men. but when it comes to winning this race, white men also are going to be very important in on this very issue that and is talking about, about families too. >> yeah. and the cruelty i think is the point with vance, he's pretty explicit about that. and i don't think most white men want that and they don't want to be divided in this way and they know women who have kids and women who don't have kids when we've tried to have kids but i think vice president harris and others and making this point should not just make it a women's point. obviously, fundamentally, he's attacking women so i understand that, but it's a point about what kind of country we want to live in. all of us. >> all right. well, all of you. thank you very much. i

appreciate. >> there's actually there, erin, there's going to be a there's already scheduled. there's going to be a white dudes call monday, july 29th for kamala harris. i'll the information on my twitter. or x. okay. thank you. thank you all and next, trump trying out just about every line of attack on his side here when it comes to kamala harris no doubt, surprise at all. they airtime is going to talk about his vice presidential candidate harris and her supporters fears are trying to flip the script in kamala harris plus the man who want to be harris as vice president or now flooding the airwaves. so who does have the inside track we've some new reporting this hour, the u.s. presidential race dominating the social media in china. so what are they talking about? >> billion people when it comes to harris for moderate to

it together. that's what we usually did for me i hanako montgomery in tokyo and this is cnn tonight, trump using his visit with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to attack kamala harris after the vice president yesterday also used her meeting with netanyahu

to make a very public point about ending the israel hamas war i think her remarks were disrespectful. they were very nice attending to israel i actually don't know how a person who's jurors can vote for her but that's up to them netanyahu also took aim at harris hamas i would hope that comments this all comes as trump is trying a number of different attack lines on harris trying to figure out what sticks here. >> now to new campaign the reality of it is, is that some of the ones that he has tried are not true. tom foreman is outfront i say bring it on

bring it on. >> i mean, cheers from fans and jeers from foes, vice president kamala harris is being pelted by republican claims about her life and career. many unfounded at his first rally since harris became the presumptive nominee, former president donald trump tore into what he said are her views on social security. >> she's talking about read let's take the retirement age on wet abortion should be legal even after birth. >> the execution of a baby and on his own eagle cases, which he long blamed on president joe biden, there was all headed up by all three of those cases about his opponent are patently false, but never mind, by the way, on this show, our vetting has only begun while some right-wing media stars are erupting over the new democratic challenger. others for accusing harris with no

evidence of building her career primarily on race and gender, some on the right in the past rebooted trump's birther claims against former president barak obama by falsely saying harris, who is born in california to immigrant parents, is not a us citizen now se switching biden to harris on balances fall is illegal. listened to trump's running mate. >> this was fundamentally illegitimate and republican speaker of the house, mike johnson, it would be wrong. and i think unlawful in accordance to some of these states rules for a handful of people to go in a back backroom and switch it out because they're they don't like candidate any longer. >> but that's false too. >> cnn contacted every state and aside from two which did not reply, they all said there are no obstacles to putting harris on the ballot and on it goes kandula can't have my gun. >> she can't have my gasoline engine and she sure as hell can't have my stakes and cheeseburgers suggestion since that harris wants to outright banned guns, gasoline, cars,

and red meat, that she couldn't pass the bar exam. and it's totally against jewish people. all of those are false republicans certainly have legitimate issues. they can go after her on and she has suggested there should be some more controls on guns. we should get more alternative fuel. maybe we should all be eating better. but what they're doing, as you noted, erin right now is they're exaggerating. things are throwing everything at her just see if it sticks whether it's true or not all right. >> tom, thanks very much. i want to go straight to marc caputo of the bulwark he has been reporting on trump's inner circle for years. so marc, you just heard tom and there are plenty of things for trump to try to go after harris on the question is, as he tries all these things is there any consensus or does he have a sense about what he thinks will work i think the main thing that they're going to go after

on immigration and her record as a prosecutor to the degree that they frame her or attempt to frame room as being soft on crime. >> i think those are going to be the two through lines. you're going to see through about the race. recently, just in the past few hours, they began talking about transgender related issues. as regards california policy when she was attorney general there. so i imagine that's going to crop up as well. but as for a consensus know right now, i think you said it was just said a second ago that this is sort of a kitchen sink strategy that could throw the kitchen sink at are the refrigerator, the oven, the microwave, everything. >> all right. so here's the thing though. some of these attacks have come out and then harris is supporters campaign and then it's kind of gotten traction on tiktok. have flipped it and said, oh, you're going to pick on us for this. we're going to take that very thing and it turns into like a meme or something that actually gained traction in her favor. here's an example. >> in kamala harris do they

know how to react to the fact that something like that actually turn into a positive for her i don't know how much of a possible turn into, but if you are going to absorb it attack and redirect it, that's the way to do it. one of the strongest political attacks or defenses in politics is mockery. so if you're mocking your opponent and your belittling your opponent and pretending it doesn't are showing it doesn't hurt you. but that's pretty much a sweet spot for dealing with that. >> some of the things they were picking on her for years saying she wanted to ban red meat, which isn't true, although i'd asked her about that at a town hall when she was running for president last time around and she talked about, oh, people should eat less of it and changing nutrition guidelines. enter plastic straws. okay? fox news has gotten all-in on this that she's trying to ban plastic straws. colbert played a compilation of it. so let me just replay that you know, a

major liability for kamala harris she wants to ban plastic straws. she wants to ban plastic straws i loved my plastic straws. hate those paper straws, don't forget kamala harris is against plastic straws. so you didn't have to look beyond that as an economic policy okay. >> i'm just going to go ding, ding, ding mark on this one. it's actually true she does want to ban plastic straws, at least that's what she told me back in 2019, i will play the original incident do you ban plastic straws? >> and then we shared yes. i mean, look, i'm gonna be honest. it's really difficult to drink out of a paper straw when you had, if you're just like if you don't gulf it down immediately, it starts to bend that was before the the agave straws out there that are much better. okay. but, is this all just a silly thing or do they actually think that this matters?

>> i presume they think it matters. i'm hearing too, turning point usa conference that trump's about to speak three speakers have separately mentioned the plastic straw thing. it's something at the very least that animates conservatives. and let's face said, once in a while, if you happen at have a drink and you have a paper straws, not so good whether that actually translates into votes. i don't know what they want to make this into a little part for the whole that she supports the nanny state, that she supports ridiculous policies. not sure. it's going to be effective, but it's not going to be something you're going to dislodge from people, at least not these people here. >> all right, let's fascinated where you said that two people have already come to you that specific one with classics, right? >> three all right. >> well, hey, mark, it's great to see you i can't wait to hear about that tonight. and thanks for a great weekend. >> all right. and next, kamala harris's husband tonight revealing where he was when he got the news, the biden was dropping out so i finally call added she was wearing were you?

>> plus 13 days after trump's attempted assassination, the fbi tonight, just a moment ago, confirms that trump was hit by a bullet what took them so long? >> once upon a time? there was an infinity meticulously crafted to sure. your imagination and daring to dream sure three roe dreams for everything, for every passenger could be just right introducing the all new three roe infinity qx at priceline homes families save up to 60% on family-friendly hotels. >> so many great trips, we might just leave here with another vacation baby take it easy, paris and youtube for motor to help lisa wasn't toledo gurney are happy if you

>> weekdays at four on cnn tonight pennsylvania governor and potential vp coming out swinging against trump for refusing to commit to a debate with harris until she's officially the democratic nominee. let me tell you something pretty afraid back in the bag now toe to toe, vice president of course he had agreed and actually debated biden for biden was the former nominees. so this is a complete change of where the bar is. but what you just heard there from the pennsylvania governor, josh shapiro, comes as other potential democratic vp's have come on. this show and have gone out on the airwaves to make their case kamala harris is going to prosecute the case against donald trump better than anybody. i know the energy around the vice president was stunning yesterday. >> i'm going to be doing everything in my power to make sure that she's our next president. i believe vice president harris is going to lead us to a better place. eva

mckend is outfront. so even where do things stand on? the vp search for kamala harris, you know, erin, we know that this process has to move with unprecedented speed and that she will announce her choice in less than two weeks. her lawyers and advisers involved have until august 7. that's at least a date that we are hearing here. and then of course, the democratic national convention is not long after that, starting on august 19, democrats close to the process, say the roster of leading contenders being vetted, still includes north carolina governor roy cooper pennsylvania governor josh shapiro arizona senator mark kelly transportation secretary pete buttigieg, along with kentucky's governor andy bashir, and minnesota governor tim walz. and that this will oil really boil down to the persons relationship with harris the skills that they bring and who she's comfortable with. we also know that her husband, doug emhoff, the second gentleman, is an

advisor in this process will tonight we're hearing from him about how he learned president biden withdrew from the race after being in an exercise class soon after this news broke, let's listen i ran ran. it was the car was a block or so away secret service running behind me got into the car, pulled out my phone, and of course it was a series of messages call camila call camila and i got him for everyone in the family was like, where are you called? camila so i finally call added she was where the where are you an aaron on the vp pick this really stuck out to me, at least one activist group. >> they say harris should not be constrained to picking a straight white man, latosha brown. she is the co-founder of the voter outreach group, black voters matter. and she's encouraging democrats to think outside out of the box. she

argues a bold choice will only extend the momentum. democrats are currently enjoying, and that americans are ready for something different. erin? >> all right, eva, thank you very much. i want to go out from now to mayor victor trevino, the mayor of laredo, texas home to one of the largest border crossing points in the u.s. and i know merrick, you were just is that the vice president harris, his residence in washington for that event with latino community leaders. i appreciate your time you know, interesting what eva was talking about that organization that's saying that she does not need to go with a straight white male in terms of her vice presidential selection. so far we do know at least from the shortlist that we've reported, several governors are on it. does senator, a cabinet secretary they're not all straight. they are all white they are all seen as the top contenders, at least that we understand to be on the vice president's list. do you see anyone on this list or do you think that there's somebody outside of it who could be the best too? understand what someone like you needs most as

a mayor of a crucial border town well, first of all, thank you for having me and yes, it wasn't privileged to be invited among the latino community leaders around the country to hear the vice president speak and priority that important to our communities. >> and winning the hispanic vote is crucial. i think this is a must to get to the white house. but you know what, i had never seen her engaged in such a way like this and i think she's trying to get all that energy out of there so when you say you've never seen her engage in this way before, you know where, right. because she was the point person for the white house addressing the migrant crisis at the southern border. and obviously, she was criticized for only visiting the southern border once as vice president. at that time. i understand she's spent about six hours there in el paso so what's your perception, mare and what you have seen from her in in-person. do you think she fully understands what you're facing on the southern border?

>> yeah i think really i think she's trying to convince the country to vote for her, especially hispanics, which are crucial for any candidate to win the white house. >> and i will be formally invited her to come to the border. >> i think it's important to have any candidate that it wants to be a president to understand our economic prosperity with me mexico, and some of the challenges we confront at the border when dealing with migration, immigration, human and drug trafficking. these are all issues that are intertwined. so i think she has to come here and see it firsthand and let me just ask you and i know. >> i know you support her and i know you're fully on board, so i don't say this to question that but, when you're inviting her now, do you have a frustration that in those years that she was the point person that she did not make that visit yes. >> and i wish you would have come before because that would that would exemplify that she has interest in our border. but it's never too late and i think she makes an effort to

come after our invitation. i think it'll be a plus but, you know, as as you, know i've met with president biden when he visited the border with our border coalition and the mayors and brownsville and changes when he had changes to asylum rules and that had a direct impact on the crossings. so all this attention to our border is important to be here and be talking to people that live and work here. i think that's crucially important. >> all right. well, mayor trevino, i'm glad to speak to you. remember speaking you on that day from brownsville and it's good to see you tonight. thank you and here, thank you for the invite all right. >> and next, the breaking news, almost two weeks to the day that trump was shot. the fbi has finally just confirm with within the past few minutes that trump was indeed hit by a bullet plus lisa simpson is suddenly going viral in china and it's all because of kamala harris will explain why we don't hold me back only ran

cnn breaking news 13 days after former president trump's assassination attempt, the fbi, confirming moments ago that trump was struck by a bullet. >> the fbi, just a few minutes ago, did release this sentence saying what struck former president trump in the ear was a bullet but their whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subjects rifle. now, why the statement came out at this time is well, there was a debate and it was ignited by the director of the fbi, christopher wray, who just testified to congress this week that it wasn't clear whether trump was hit by a bullet i think with respect to former president trump there's some question about whether or not it's bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear trump responded to wray today saying, quote, perhaps fbi director christopher wray will notice there is no shrapnel or glass flying through the year, only a

bloodstain bullet. >> it's also damaging to the great people that work in the fbi allowed front now is the former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. so director mccabe, let me just read that statement from the fbi because, you know obviously riot testified that maybe it was unclear whether it was a bullet or not. and then they came out with a statement a moment ago and they said what struck former president trump in the ear was a bullet whether holes or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subjects rifle. they're being excruciatingly clear. there what really happened here? i mean, why would it take the fbi two weeks to release that well, erin what happened here, unfortunately, it was a bit i think of a self-inflicted wound that the director brought on itself in the organization with his testimony there the day and i should say that i thought was telling some one was great. >> he put out a lot of information very deep, some details that we had not heard before, giving a lot of credit for that, but this was a bit of an off-handed reference. it may

not have even been in his prepared talking points and it opened up all this speculation about whether or not trump had actually been hit by a bullet or something else? >> the statement that we got just a few a few minutes ago, i think is really artfully drafted because it essentially says the same thing he said in his testimony. >> it says whether he was hit, he was definitely hit by a bullet whether whole or in part that's what he said in his testimony slightly differently. he said we're not sure if he was hit by a bullet or some shrapnel. all part of a bullet, you can describe as shrapnel. so they're really being very artful here. but clearly they're trying to put a wet blanket on this fire, which is kind of consuming the agency's attention at a time when they don't need that, right? >> no, absolutely not although and i understand you're saying why do you think it is? i guess the implication had been from that offhanded comment that maybe it wasn't a bullet at all right. that it was a piece of the teleprompter or something like that. and that obviously incensed incense trump's another been clear, it was indeed a bullet or part of

a bullet the new york times, they had published its own investigation actually, and they had some pretty compelling alice's of the bullets trajectory. they have that incredible picture, right? that when you slow down, you see the vapor trail of the bullet seeming to go by his head. and they had concluded it was likely a bullet that grazed his ear i guess i'm just wondering, do you think that the fbi didn't think that it was their role to say what hit him or what it's this odd that we're just two weeks here. we haven't obviously heard from his doctors or anything like that either yeah. >> so you can count on the fact that the fbi is doing a similar sort of investigation. they have all sorts of technology that enables them to essentially recreate the trajectory of every bullet fired in a, in a situation like this, i'm sure they've probably done that when you look at that stuff as in the times interviews for the times investigation is pretty clear that that's likely how he was

injured. but the bureau is never going to conclude that positively until they've seen all the evidence in this case, one of the pieces of evidence that would be helpful pull would be the impressions of the surgeons and the doctors who treated him in pennsylvania. and of course mr. trump has not released the records of that treatment and is not authorized those doctors to speak about how they treated him until that happens, there's really that one the key piece of evidence. that they haven't been able to review, and i would guess that that is impacting their desire not to be honored percent sure. publicly. >> yeah, that's interesting when we saw him today for the first time without is his bandaged. but as you point out, even though we saw that we don't yet have and may never get anything, you can see him here that from the doctors on the scene that they have not been authorized well, deputy director mccabe, i appreciate your time. thanks so much sure. >> thank good to see you. >> all right next, kamala harris right now, the focus of

what many are posting on social media in the biggest social media market in the world that is china. >> so what are they saying? you might be surprised by this, and we've got a special report right after this looks like an actual crime i have no idea night? >> meanwhile, at a vrbo when other vacation rentals aren't what they're cracked up to be. >> dry one where you know what you get? >> looking, nature boys was stop. >> get some man finch it gives seats two females in a bonding

trending on china's internet for weeks i'm touched by beijing's usually heavy-handed government censors, a flood of comments criticizing the u.s political system as a circus, saying whoever becomes the next president, he or she is going to target china officially, beijing has no comment on biden dropping out of the race and endorsing harris calling it a us domestic affair harris met with chinese president xi jinping in 2022, signaling how a future president harris would handle one of america's biggest adversaries we do not invite conflict, but we absolutely are prepared to and engaged in what is necessary to compete people in china are posting pics of the presumptive democratic nominee alongside cartoon character lisa simpson from that episode when she became president now, we've been had to quite a budget crunch for president trump. >> some are calling the simpsons episode from 24 years ago, a presidential prophecy and for all the doubters in china about a woman beating a man allen in beijing says, all
