4:02 pm
trail today, trump speaking to a crypto convention and now headed to minnesota for a joint rally with his running mate senator j.d. vance, cnn's alayna treene is in minnesota. >> alayna, what have we heard from the president? what are we expecting to hear from him? >> well, jessica, i will start with what we've heard from donald trump's so far, because we're not going to be hearing from either donald trump orgy, j.d. vance for another couple of hours. >> but i did find what he said at that bitcoin conference to be very interesting. >> he really ramped up his attacks on kamala harris as he continues to try and define her and see which attacks work on her and we also heard him test lines, some new attacks as well. take a listen to your run. the problem is that kamala is worse than joe is words, she is a radical left lunatic the fund the police. all of the different things and so far we're doing. she got a little
4:03 pm
honeymoon going on right now. but what people hear about her and she's against crypto, by the way now, jessica, i can tell you, i mean, clearly he's trying at all different types of attacks. >> he saying she is worse than joe biden that she's more liberal. but what we haven't heard yet that he said in those remarks is that he acknowledged she's having a bit of a honeymoon phase. i can tell you donald trump's advisors, as well as his pollsters, have been preparing him and kind of warning him that she was likely to see at least some sort of short-term boost after announcing. and that is what we've seen in the past few days. the democrats enthusiasm and fundraising all picking up on the heels of that announcement and he acknowledged that. so i found that pretty noteworthy. now, i also just want to explain some of the context of why donald trump was there. because as someone who has covered him for several years, i know that when he was president and in the white house starting in 2017 he was actually singing a very different tune when it came to crypto. he's called it a scam. he said that it's not real money but now today, we heard
4:04 pm
him get on stage and said that he say that he wants crypto to be the future and he wants america to be leading and nat and i can tell you i know from my conversations with trump's team that part of the reasoning for that is donald trump has really been courted by crypto, donors and wealthy people tied to that community for several months now and then just very quickly, jessica, about tonight and minnesota, i think it's very noteworthy that he is coming to the state especially given that republicans have not won this state in more than 50 he years. so he's gonna be making a pitch to her it tonight with his team believing that there is still some sort of pathway for him here in minnesota all right. >> alayna treene for us in minnesota. thank you so much for your reporting. meanwhile, vice president harris is fighting back against some of trump's new attacks on her, saying that he's pushing some quote wild lies about her. she's also calling my trump and his running mate, j.d. vance, quote plain weird. she did that at a fundraiser today in massachusetts. cnn's eva mckend is joining us now and
4:05 pm
eva trump and harris now sharpening their attacks against each other as this race begins to take shape, they are just harris is eager to prosecute the case against trump today at that fundraiser she talked about her law enforcement background and said she has experienced taking on perpetrators of all kinds predators who abused women and fraudsters before going on to sharply say, she knows donald trump's type now, harris also giving virtual remarks to young people, voters of tomorrow, leaning on them for their support and highlighting the significance of their participation in this election. let's listen this election, we know young voters will be key, and we know your vote cannot be taken for granted. >> it must be earned and that is exactly what we will do also, chiding trump for now, seeming to back away from the debate saying today, she hopes
4:06 pm
he reconsiders because the two of them have a lot to talk about jess all right. >> eva mckend with the latest reporting from vice president harris, campaign. thank you so much for that and we have breaking news tonight out of the middle east where israeli officials are vowing to respond after a deadly strike in the golan heights well find her saying at least 11 people were killed, including children when rockets fired from lebanon hit a football field. >> we spoke with former israeli prime minister naftali bennett last hour. he said both hasn't hello and lebanon have effectively declared war on israel. and israel must now respond accordingly the state of lebanon essentially shot rocket made in iran. >> we know the name of the guy who shot it. his name is ali malmo deal here these rockets were made in iran, the iranian
4:07 pm
rockets, 50 kilograms of a warhead. >> and it's time that we hit back jeremy diamond is on the ground for us where this strike hit jeremy. >> we see it behind you there. what are you hearing about all of this you know jessica, we arrived on the scene and the mood is very, very heavy here. >> the israeli military now says that 12 people were killed and these are all children and young adults between the ages of ten and 20, several dozen more were injured. some of them in very serious condition at local hospitals but this is the deadliest incidents since october 7 on civilians since the beginning of this conflict, according to the israeli military and there are now very real concerns that this could trigger a broader escalation in this conflict. but before we get to that, i do want to bring in taymor here who actually lives, right across from this
4:08 pm
soccer field where this strike actually happened taymor, you were nearby. you heard the sirens and you actually saw this rocket hit right here? >> yeah, i did. i live about 50 meters across from the playground on the fourth floor, so i have director view of what happened here was just sitting on my desk. i got my notification and like two seconds later, maybe less, i heard the sirens. i just rushed to the window and not even four to five more seconds. i opened the window. i was lists looking straight. i saw it hit i thought i saw the kids panicking, running around and that happened around 618 vm something like that. and i just dropped straight here. i got here like two minutes later and that's when i arrived to the scene and i had a clear vision of the them backed and of the crater zone. so that's what i saw. >> and you heard the warning sirens telling you that rockets were coming in, but it was just seconds?
4:09 pm
>> no, there's not enough time. it symbol said if someone tells you otherwise, it's impossible even though we're able to get to it's 45 seconds. what can you do? and 45 seconds can do nothing it like he said i'm saying five second, maybe i'm just it's too long. i think it's four seconds, maybe less the sirens were still going on. that's when we heard i heard them back when i saw it. i saw the kids like, you know, you're talking about kids and children here. there's also they have reaction time. they are backing, they're going to stress the need much more time than that, even if you have five seconds and you're completely aware of the situation, you wouldn't have enough time to react to this so once you saw that rocket actually hit you came here, he came to the scene. >> i did and what what did you see well, a tourist i saw the injured and your children running around. i saw blood. they didn't respond to us. they were panicking i saw a lot of guys gathering here, most of them didn't go down. i went down here and i saw a lot of
4:10 pm
things that are way too gruesome to mention out of respect for the families and we tried to help, but it was beyond our health. there's nothing we can do. >> there were injuries that you saw that were too gruesome to critical for any medical attention? >> there's nothing you can do. no. i'm not going to go into details, but there's nothing you can do this this area around 6:00 p.m. it's summer yes. it's summer. kids are blaine and we've got to of got used to this situation because it's been going on for awhile. we heard the sirens all the time and we just we just got used to it. nothing like this ever happened before and tell me about this community. i mean, when we came out here, everyone is around, everyone is still up. it's very late at night, it's two in the morning, but everyone is still up. everybody must feel very impacted. it's a very close-knit community. >> of course, i mean, if you look around, everybody is helping trying to prepare for the ceremony for the funeral tomorrow because everybody knows everybody and everybody is related to someone and we know the kids have know the children, all the families as
4:11 pm
well connected we stand together in good or embed, and this is what's happening right now. it's a dark day for our town. it's a tragedy that hit us all. and this day will be remembered for generations to come and it will go down in history. as this is the most not just in our town and the whole of the country. as you said, is the deadliest attack since 7 october and it happened in the small village. >> so what is, what is the feeling around here? obviously there is sadness, is their anger as well with that and where's that anger being? directed i don't know what this anger is directed of the war in general, because, you know, in war there is no one is winning. >> we're all losing and the longer it goes on, the more we're going to lose. and we're helpless. there's not much that we can do, but i think there should be a response for what happened here today and we will not go quiet until we get a response for what happened here because these are children, these are children. and what's happened here is unforgettable like just look at
4:12 pm
it. they're just kids playing soccer, playing football here they didn't look of the shelter. it's only a few meters away, but i'm quite sure they didn't have enough time to get there even if they were they are acted like instantly. there was not enough time yeah. thank you so much. taymor. jessica, i do i do want to bring you closer to the scene here because this is where you can see this crater right here is where that rocket actually struck the israeli military says that this was an iranian-made rocket that they say is only in hezbollah's arsenal bola has denied responsibility for this attack, but the israeli military says that they are clear that this was hezbollah that carried out this attack. they say that the rocket was fired from a village in southern lebanon and they say that this was an iranian war. miss a rocket, forgive me that at a 50 kilo warhead attached to it, you can also see behind here there are bicycles. this scene is
4:13 pm
effectively frozen in time from the moment when this strike happened just to bring you over to this side, have my cameraman have set pan around you can see how close this does that cinderblock building right there is a safe space that is where you rush to when you hear those sirens. and so just so devastating to see how close these children were two that shelter. but obviously with just a few seconds to be able to try and rush into their once they heard those sirens friends was simply simply not enough. and the results now, 12 people according to the israeli military, who are dead between the ages of ten and 20 and an entire community here that is absolutely devastated it is truly, truly devastating news. >> jeremy and clearly just so heartbreaking for that hoax. community. and these children who are just playing soccer to be targeted in that way. we know that prime minister, prime minister benjamin netanyahu was still in the u.s. when this
4:14 pm
happened, he cut his trip short. he's now headed back. we're told he'll be convening with his war cabinet upon his arrival. what are you hearing about how the government might be? responding to this well, there was a very swift response from a number of government officials, all of them making very clear that there will be a response for this attack. >> a very serious response at that the israeli prime minister himself, so that i can say that the state of israel will not be silent about this. we will not put this off the agenda. benny gantz, former member of the war cabinet, a member of the opposition. now, he came too much. they'll shams this evening to meet with community leaders. and he was also making very clear that not only will there be a response, but that these really governments will have his support as a member of the opposition for a decisive response in lebanon. and that really is now the big question. there have been fears not only in israel, but also in the u.s us government that an incident
4:15 pm
like this one with so many casualties, notably civilian casualties. and then this case, many of them being children, that an incident like this could potentially set off very the dangerous escalation potentially lead to war. and that is certainly the question now is whether or not the escalation, the response from israel will be so severe that it could lead to that all-out conflict with hezbollah, that all out war with hezbollah, that so many have feared at this hour it is too premature to say whether or not that will happen. what is clear is that we've been hearing the sounds of jets buzzing above us. we are very close to the lebanese border here it is clear that the israeli military will respond to this attack, which they say was carried out by hezbollah. how severe that response will be, will determine the course of things, will determine i mean, what the counter reaction from hezbollah will be and we'll determine whether or not we are headed for a very, very dangerous and deadly path. >> jessica jeremy diamond live
4:16 pm

4:21 pm
for being here. in several new polls. vice president harris is neck and neck with donald trump. we are looking right now at the new york times sienna college poll all of these within the margin of error, we see it in the fox poll. we're looking at these battleground states right here. when you take this first snapshot of data, since she's gotten into this race, what standing out to you when you're looking at these numbers and then also what might be below the surface in these numbers? >> yeah, i look, we're in a different race as vice president harris said today, she is still probably the underdog because donald trump has more plausible paths to reaching 270 electoral college votes. but just think how different the world is from when we were last together last saturday. joe biden the, problem biden faced is that all evidence was that voters views about him had cemented and ossified him and his approval rating has been stuck at 40% or below since the summer of 2023
4:22 pm
we've had years now of two-thirds or more of voters saying they think he's too old to do the job for another four years here's the real tipoff. was that he has spent tens of millions probably well over 100 million combined in the battleground states on advertising, all year virtually unrebutted by republicans to this point, virtually no offsetting republican advertising. and his approval rating hadn't proved that he was still trailing in the race. harris has lots of challenges but there is now a sense of possibility among democrats, and she has a much greater chance than biden of reassembling the coalition of voters who came out in 18, 20, and even 22 to reject the vision of america that trump and his maga movement he put forward and there's a lot of focus right now on young voters and voters of color were biden had really been slipping but you say one group in particular could be do or die when it comes to these key, key states,
4:23 pm
what are you seeing? >> right well you know, biden's biggest problem relative to 2020 was his erosion among younger voters and voters of color, both black and latino voters harris should be able to improve on that. it's not clear whether she will necessarily get all the way back to our democrats were in 2020 or 2016 with those voters voters, but there's every reason to believe every indication that she's going to improve relative to biden among young voters, black voters, and probably latinas, little less certain about what will happen with latino men. now even if she does, all of that, the question is whether those changes are going to be enough to put her back in play in any of the sun belt swing states which are younger and more diverse that had drifted away from biden. that's north carolina and georgia in the southeast. that an arizona and the southwest, if you can put any of those back in play, she can change the electoral calculus. but if she can't then she is on the same kind of
4:24 pm
narrow, rickety bridge that he is in the electoral he was in the electoral college, which is that you would have to sweep michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin, the three former blue wall states to when and if that is the situation she's in, the critical group for her is likely going to be white women without a college degree. those are heavily white states. they're heavily blue collar states. the white men are very republican audience, but white women have moved back and forth more often. and in that fox polling that came out, she was polling at a level at a level of strength among those women that i think would surprise republicans if it's sustained and other polling that's a. very, very good point. and now we see her vetting this vp pick in a very condensed timeline as she is making this first very big decision as it relates to her campaign what are you if you were counseling her, what would you be telling her to think about? because there's all these different cases to be made pick someone in a state
4:25 pm
that you need to win pick someone they can bounce out to get, you know, what, what would you be counseling her well, i mean, i i've talked to you. >> i'll channel what i've what i've heard from a lot of democratic strategist, you know, going back through history, the basic choice in a vice president is you either balance the ticket as you noted, try to find someone who offsets your weaknesses or in more rare occasions you doubled down and you try to find someone who magnifies your strengths and the most famous example of that, of course, was bill clinton in 1992, rather than taking an old washington hand, he picked another centrist southern baby boomer, al gore, the one option on that front for vice president harris would be gretchen whitmer, the governor of michigan and doric, all female ticket, which would obviously have risks but could generate a lot of excitement doesn't seem like either side is that interested in pursuing that idea? so you're left with the balancing choices of essentially white male elected officials who are all going to have a more of a centrist identity than she does of those
4:26 pm
mark kelly, the senator from arizona, is probably the most prepared to step in, not only as vice president, but also to debate a republican because he's been dealing with federal issues obviously, as a senator, but as a democrat, she can win for zona and still lose pennsylvania looms is a more important kind of tipping point in the electoral college. in fact, one of the heat democratic super pacs picket as the likely tipping point state in a presentation this week that would argue for josh shapiro, the governor of pennsylvania, i'm not really sure. andy beshear, are roy cooper there may be personal chemistry there, but it's hard to imagine. he's going to win north carolina, even with cooper on the ticket and she's certainly not going to win kentucky. so i would think based on kind of the conventional metrics that people have used historically that kelly or shapiro would be the most effective and maybe the most likely pick. >> it is quite a parlor game that everybody likes life support play but we as our colleague jeff zeleny, has reported should know in the
4:27 pm
next couple of weeks it'll be fascinating to watch it all play out. and then of course, onto the democratic national convention in chicago, ron brownstein, thanks so much, always good to see you thanks for having me still ahead california's fast moving apart. >> wildfire forcing thousands of people to flee their homes. that fire now bigger than all of los angeles relied as crews work to get the flames under control. control. you're in the cnn newsroom tonight a special event and search for a suspect how it really happened. >> the atlanta olympic bombing premieres tonight at nine on cnn. >> no one should have to choose between good vision and great value. that's why america is best is slashing their prices during the y's by sales abadi get to progressives and a comprehensive eye exam for just one 12995 spoken exam online today we love home internet

deputy administrator at the dea. he's also the author of drug warrior. it's about the decades long hunt to bring el chapo to justice jack, great to have you here. thanks for being with us on a saturday night both of these men at the top of that powerful sinaloa drug cartel? el chapo's son plots to have himself and zambada arrested. i think we think meantime, the top mexican security secretary says, there not sure if zambada was captured or turned himself in. what happened here? >> well, first of all, it's a great day for the good guys to get these to him custody specifically, miles and bada, his bid on top for nearly 40 years. i spent a great deal of my career the last couple of years leading a hunt for him as well as chapo guzman i think what happened here was very common in organized crime treachery, where you had one
4:41 pm
individual who was thought to be close to the other actually turn himself in. now there is some speculation that myosin biden may have been in the process of trying to negotiate oh, shake a surrender. >> i see that highly unlikely giving given know where he was in the organization. >> but this is a tremendous blow to sinaloa and i think it's important to understand that this guy has been around miles zambada's been around for 40 years that's really unheard of for someone in his position. i think that shows his ability and his influence to have corrupted virtually every corner of the mexican government from the military that police apparatus all the way to the presidential palace so this is a big hit and i'm very, very proud of all the agency did this and the cartels accused of trafficking just vast amounts of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, fentanyl into the u.s.
4:42 pm
>> but there's been this rift building between zambada and guzman for years. it seems like yeah, there's no doubt about it. i think one of the things that myocin body was feeling was his age he is close to 80 and chapo guzman, sons and people within that organization are far younger, far more aggressive, more flamboyant and it may have been a combination of not paying attention to what the younger guzman was doing and miles willingness to try to work something out so he could give himself up for capture but make no mistake about it. both of these guys are mass murderers by grand proportions. and while they're still in custody, their organization is still killing us citizens. by shipping fentanyl and other drugs to the u.s so while it's
4:43 pm
a blow, i think sinaloa in itself is going to go through a transition which quite frankly could be some violence, but it's also an opportunity for law enforcement on both sides of the border to do some damage. and i certainly hope and look forward to us continuing to hurt that organization because that's what we really need to do. >> yeah. on that note, it does seem like mexico is kind of preparing for this turf war over this power vacuum that might, that might does this now and you said it could, it could get violent, but it sounds like you also see this as an opportunity for law enforcement to kind of get a foot in absolutely normally when this happens as it did when we grabbed the troppo, as the organ itself, organization itself shutters alliances, become looser communication becomes undisciplined and everybody is looking to the new leader or to form who's, who they're going to work with.
4:44 pm
>> and how the organization itself is going to operate. so this is a time of chaos for both the bad guys and the good guys. and i certainly hope we take advantage of it as we did once we hooked up. finally, chapel zambada is an interesting guy because he's an old school guy. he preferred to operate in the shadows and was extremely fluid in his movement over the years. so he was very difficult for us and the mexicans to try to get a handle on whereas if you look at chocolate both children and chapo and his later years very flamboyant, pretty open and public. and really thought he was untouchable this surprised me to be quite frank with you that we were able to hook up some bada the younger guzman really didn't. >> all right. former dea special agent jack riley. thanks so much for your context there. we really appreciate it
