com for certain newsnight with abby phillip weeknights at ten eastern on cnn it is monday, july 29, right now on cnn this morning if a crazy liberal like kamala harris gets in the american dream is dead well apoc apocalyptic rhetoric there, donald trump trying to pin down his new lines of attack back on his new rival. plus president biden we're in a window a rocket

attack killing 12 children in the israeli occupied golan heights israel vowing retribution. >> and this but these guys are just weird. that's it's getting weird. >> kamala harris and her top allies rolling out new messaging to describe donald trump and j.d. vance 6:00 a.m. here in washington. >> here's a live look at the white house. good morning, everyone. i'm jim sciutto in for kasie hunt good to be with you this morning. 99 days until america votes is all about messaging. now, kamala harris, donald trump testing out new attack lines to see what sticks harris and her allies already deploying their new strategy. they're trying to cast the former president and his vp as weird we're not afraid of weird people we were a little bit creeped out, but we're not

afraid. >> it's not about her or her opponent really this, no matter what kind of weird stuff they keep saying it is, resorting to some wild lies about my record and some of what he and his running mate are saying. well, it's just plain weird trump's messaging is much darker. >> he's trying to make the case that harris is dangerous. and worse in his words, and president biden, he won't be softening the tone a lot of talk about that. you'll remember anytime soon she is a radical left lunatic. >> if she has no clue he's evil. i want to be nice. they all say, i think he's changed. i think he's changed since two weeks ago something affected him no i haven't changed maybe have gotten worse gotten worse. >> let's bring in alayna plot, collaborate staff writer for the atlantic, meghan hays, former special assistant to president biden, and matt gorman, former senior communications advisors to the tim scott presidential

campaign. good to have all of you here with me this morning. hope you had your coffee. meghan. what are we begin this weirdly part of attack is interesting to me because the biden approach had been trump is a genuine danger to democracy, right? there. they're dealing with him advance with a little bit of a smile and saying, you know what, their cookie, as opposed to a danger. one is that deliberate and duty. think that's smart. >> i think it is deliberate and i think it is smart. i think what they're trying to appeal to a younger audience right? you've seen a lot of things go viral in the last week or so. and i think they're just using normal rhetoric and normal towns that everyone talks about. and so it's more conversational, i think so. i think it is smart smart tactic for them. >> matt you hear all the attack lines from trump. there. i mean, and again offensive? whatever you want to call it, alluded to all this kind of stuff. there was all that talk 1 million years ago, what like ten days or two weeks ago that trump was going to be softened by his experience of this near assassination attempt. he said it in so many words. first of all, there was no evidence of that. second of all, he said in so many words, he's going to be

worse. so he's that turn, that moderation ain't going to happen. >> there's new race, right? like he's run against joe biden. he had a comfortable lead in aid. it wasn't you didn't put the pedal the metal. what she does now running against kamala and the weird stuff is funny in a way because it's one of the reasons why you don't let the candidate or candidates are principles kind of do a lot of the messaging. i think it's problematic in two respects number one wins weird. it's reminds me of when canada age to work for. in numerous ways would only rely on their biography. it's like congratulations, grouping indoor plumbing, but then you fail to make the next step. what is weird mean for the voter and so that is what they're failing right now. and the second party yes. there's a bit of a distance and you saw with tim walz yesterday, they're weird, but then they're also a threat to democracy. and one is trivial and one isn't. so there's a additions there to pick. they have to pick and so it's fun, it's a little very online right now and we have phone with it. if this you're going another week or two. that's it would tell me a little bit red flag. well, let's look at how

it's playing a granted, it's early but let's look at the favorability ratings post post-rnc. >> harris. it's got a big job, a shift of 12 points. he was -11 just after the rnc. now she's plus one. trump has gone down. we can put this up on the screen. he's gone down five points since then i imagine republicans look at the numbers again, it's early and we got to get to see how these numbers play out over the next several weeks but that's not a good week for republicans. >> know. >> it sounds almost banal to put it this way, but i think we can't overestimate the impact of just having a democrat at the top of the ticket who is out there on the ground, and we're not talking about 8:00 pm bedtimes anymore, but the sheer visibility of kamala harris and the one week since she became the presumptive nominee, i think it's just such a stark contrast from joe biden that that's huge for voters, right now all across the age spectrum, the energy level, the communication, clear communication vibrant communication. >> that's, that's a marked turn. >> democrats absolutely i'm

sure you've been looking at the numbers as all of my democratic friends and contacts have some of the public polling clearly shows a shift in that the race is at least closer, although i've spoken to democrats who said that if the race were held today, harris still would not win, but she's moving positively in the voting groups that she needs to is that is that your read of where it stands? >> yeah. and i also think she's showing up the coalition the base coalition that the president was losing and i think that she's out there and she is providing a new interview. she is raising a lot of money and i think that is exciting to democrats. i think she's bringing in these independent women voters that we were struggling to get before that trump and vance definitely need to get and we have to still remember the election could be one in five or six states and 10,000 or 20,000 votes each of these places. so it's very close and all these battleground states and so shoring up the base and getting some of these independent nikki haley voters to come to the democratic party, i think is like, where we were going to be successful here in november. >> so matt, j.d. vance trump chooses j.d. vance at a dramatically different moment in this race, 1 million years ago, ten days he seems like it

you might call that a confidence i'm calling an over-confident choice. now, you have j.d. vance, who's had some stumbles. no question. and also you have this childless cat ladies kind of line which, which to get a lot of mileage out of here. was he a mistake for trump given the race as fundamentally, no, no? well, because you also you can't you can't look in the future too much on that, boat. i will say is this right? we're seeing this a little bit now. we always kind of joked and made front of the republicans keeping going on sunday shows in the vp search process. now, democrats are with mayor pete and others out. >> but look, what was the one thing vance was better than any other vice presidential kind of aspirin in the process, he was the best communicator who is the best? >> on mainstream media. so what i would do now is you have to put him back out there. you have to make sure you can't hide him away on right-leaning podcast, put it back out that that was a strength that's what one him this have them go back out there again, but is he the best communicator when you're trying if you're not trying to win over donald trump junior say and you're trying to win over nikki haley voters and

others there's easiest j.d. >> vance, your best bet j.d vance to me and the reason for months going back, i always knew he would be the pick for donald trump. >> is that he had a coalition within trump's orbit that no other candidate did. you might have a couple of individuals, susie wiles, someone else who loved marco rubio, scott battered few who's up? doug burgum, but j.d. vance again, don junior, eric trump. all of the people that work around them have been lobbying for this pick for months. so i think that's what made it settled. i don't know how much it had to do with how great he was as a communicator necessarily let's look briefly before we go. meghan hays at the numbers. this is a fox news polling over the weekend battleground states the only states and the real only polling that really matters in this race we'll put it up on the screen, but michigan trump paris tied pennsylvania, tied wisconsin trump a little bit ahead, but basically a tie statistically and a larger lead for harris in minnesota, these are different numbers than

biden was polling. when you look at those, do you see a fundamentally different race? >> yeah, absolutely. and i think that the enthusiasm and excitement that's shown the last week, but i think that democrats need to be careful. we have this balance because we're enthusiastic about the ticket now, then we're going into the convention will have a vp pick, but then the false, it's going to be a slog. this is always going suppose it's always gonna was always one or two points, three to six point thing wasn't i don't think it's realistic and i think that we're just leveling out where we were supposed to be. and when we hit after the democratic convention, it is going to be a slog through the fall. >> yeah. >> now it's a knife fight, right? yeah matt meghan, atlantic. thanks so much. not gonna be the last time we talked about this coming up precedent biden set to call for term limits and other significant reforms to the supreme court's class the state of israel will not let this pass in silence. >> we will not overlook this israel vowing that hezbollah will pay the price for a deadly rocket attack and democratic congressman eric swalwell, who's going to join me live to

constitutional amendment that if passed, would limit immunity for presidents. biden's proposal comes after months of increasingly sharp criticism of the court's conservative majority they're going to probably be two or appointments to the court. there's probably two people going to resign uh, resign, retire just imagine of korea if he has two more appointments with them forever. but an extreme court made a terrible decision the justices he appointed have in fact been the most conservative and i the i would argue if you're targeted survey constitutional scholarship they seem out of touch with what the founders intended. the supreme court has never been as out of kilter as it is today. look, the fact of the matter is that this has never been a court that's been this far out of step my panel is back with me now, meghan, if i could begin with you because as a practical matter, certainly not going to happen before biden leaves office. and you know, the political hurdles took to passing this through congress. and so on. so is this

is it really a legacy announcement here or is it about motivating voters in this election to focus attention on, on a president's power, right? and determining the direction of the court. >> i think it's both i think the president has always been someone who's for the institutions and i think that this court is specifically has gone a little far right. and the ethics violate or that proceeds ethics violations, i think are disturbing to him and upsetting. so i think that it is the legacy, but i also think it is it is motivating for voters. i think that roe v. wade being overturned was a huge wake-up call to democrats, especially so, you know, i think it is a little bit of both for him, but let's look at the numbers here because it confidence of the supreme court is way down. it's only been going in one direction down in a recent poll too well below 20%. but this is key to, when you ask people what supreme court justices are driven by. more likely to provide fair independent checks and other government branches, 28%, 70% believe more likely to shape the law to fit their own islay ideologies i mean, the truth of the matter is that's a problem

for both parties because it gets to the credibility of the institution which frankly has an enormous amount of power over people's lives, arguably, cree more than congress, more than the elected bodies. >> yeah, i mean, i think that tells me is that the court didn't necessarily get more polarized, but we did. and how we view it, right? it's almost like congress now. >> that's not entirely true. i mean, we're with the end of the filibuster. you can you can get justices confirmed that have positions that frankly wouldn't have gotten them confirmed in the past. we've been having that fight for over 20 years now, right? >> why is it in these last 20, last two years, suddenly with these rat rash of rulings, has that happen right? i think look, i think the play you're seeing here is it'll. almost an inverse of what republicans did in 2016, right? trying to make the supreme court and issue motivating voters in the same room and they tried republic republicans haven't done successfully for years look, you're not going to get maybe, maybe, maybe some sort of ethics thing in maybe 90 soon but the rest are going to be not started. it's more of a

campaign thing, more than anything else. >> but trump himself seems to be aware of the political dangerous here, particularly as relates to dobbs, right? because he will he will claim credit for as he did supreme court justices that he appointed, that overturned it. but pull back from a national ban and he doesn't advertise it with certain voters so he sees the dangerous here of that particular decision you know, it's i find i found it so striking at the debate among the other striking things that debate was that you had the republican candidate, whose heart is not really in an abortion and ban necessarily this is not an issue that gets him going ideologically contrast with biden, who was the same way, but on the democratic side but still trying to convince their own bases that they are the right pick to sustain that coalition. >> and what we saw in 2022 especially with democratic voters, is that they are motivated to turn out based on the issue of abortion. but i think that's why the predicted

red wave never crashed as it was supposed to and i don't think that anybody, especially republicans should underestimate the degree to which it again motivate voters it's in november is issuing and i want both your thoughts on that, because if there is a school of thought among republicans that that yes, you drove voters in 2022, but it's a fading issue in 2024. >> do you buy that? and then you mask do you buy that? >> no, i don't buy it. i mean, like look what happened in arizona, like i just don't think that's a fading issue. i think it's very important for women. i think you see, it's polling really well for women. it also polls for independent women, which is again where we need to win the election. so i just i don't think it's a fading issue for democrats there's no way for republican candidate to play that issue, right women voters are not going to be snowed by wishy-washy positions on this topic. >> so how does how does a trump how does evan's handle it? >> it's what i think it comes down to his right. abortion is one of those issues as a republican that puts a lot of our party on our heels. and i think what this i'm convinced

it is this election is going to come down to is you have certainly abortion, rightly so has the historical precedent to have a good motivator. you also have immigration now as what? for those single issue voters going to go on right? in the past 2020 2022 who, who's calling over broken glass to vote, people who were voting on abortion. so you have is abortion on the left where it left loves to talk about it, right? not so much abortion is vice versa, the right, let's talk about the left's not so much with those are going to be doing battle i think for salience with the economy floating above all, whoever wins that abortion versus immigration battle is going to tell us a lot who's going to win this election alright, stay with us more to discuss just ahead, four copies in their mothers saved after spending days trapped in the california's park fire and took out those pictures. >> there you got to see this this morning, plus highlights from the paris olympics as team usa brings in it's first gold medals over the weekend five

definitely the jitters in beijing a route and across lebanon or more intense than i've seen in quite some time we've seen, for instance, that lufthansa, the german airline, has canceled all flights to lebanon until 5 august. in air france has suspending flights of her today and tomorrow into beirut now but what we've seen on the ground actually has been pretty much within the boundaries of the routine. now, there was an israeli drone double drone strike in the south killed at least two people wounding three, including a one child on his bunk hello. has conceded that one of their fighters was killed today, but didn't go into the details of whether he was part of that. he was a victim of dead israeli the drone attack. but certainly what we're seeing is that rising concern at this time we

are getting very close to what could possibly deteriorate into much, something much more serious yesterday, we had the opportunity to speak with lebanon's caretaker foreign minister abdallah bou habib, who definitely is concerned about the possibility of a regional war you know, a lot because of conviction, but because of any attack on our country. we support as well as but it's not going to be a hezbollah nor as i mentioned, iran foreign minister said yesterday, it will be hezbollah alone. and you have to host this. you have the iraqi militias, you have militias in syria are not serious. but stanley, i've gotten religious and we also know that the u.s. >> assistant secretary of state for consular affairs is in lebanon at the moment. put out a video message on x or twitter

basically telling people to be vigilant to leave before there is leave lebanon before there is a crisis. she went on to say that for those who us nationals who died, decided to stay in lebanon, they should be prepared. she said to shelter in place for a long period of time. now, the summer is a period when many lebanese from the diaspora, many of them americans, have come to spend and the summer catch up with relatives, enjoy the beautiful scenery and the nightlife here. so there are many us nationals in the country at the time i arrived in beirut yesterday at the airport, there was a very long line of people at passport control, many of them with american passports ben wedeman in beirut. >> thanks so much well, here at

home, vice president harris and donald trump are coming off a high profile meetings with the israeli prime minister listen to the former president offering up this doomsday prediction if harris wins in november if we win, it will be very simple. so i'm going to work out at very quickly if we don't end up with major wars in the middle east and maybe a third world war you are closer to a third world war right now than at any time since the second world war what does donald trump pace that statement on? >> how all the wars are going to disappear if he's elected president, i mean, it's the same sort of puffery we see when suddenly democracy is going to end, if he's reelected president, i think it's kind of like, oh very heated hyperbolic rhetoric i think he has up to did try to overturn election, but four years ago. >> but that democracies are really again, if he's the president but like i think the other thing is, i do think there's the fact that we are

engaged in a lot of conflicts and we're at the precipice of things matter. >> who is president what, what the world looks like? >> is that a very dangerous point, whether it's the middle east, china, and taiwan like we are the next president is going to have to face a lot of crises and obviously, why don't we don't know. >> and it's not unheard of that. were engaged in maybe not a world war, hopefully not but my gosh some intense global conflicts for years largest war in europe still underway, largest war in europe since world war ii i want to play a alayna, what both harris and trump said about a ceasefire deal in israel, because despite their differences, when i listen to these two statements, they sound quite similar. >> have a listen as i just told, prime minister netanyahu, it is time to get this deal done so to everyone who has been calling for a ceasefire and to everyone who yearns for peace. i see you and i hear you i want him to finish up and get it done quickly. you gotta get it done quickly because they

are getting decimated with this publicity and you know, israel is not very good at public relations. i'll tell you that israel for whatever reason, you have jewish people out there wearing yarmulke is there a pro palestine you've never seen as a people have never seen anything like this. there public relations are not good and they've got to get this done fast. >> both trump and harris is saying israel needs to get a ceasefire deal that's notable maybe the motivations would seem to be a bit different based on what we just heard. >> but i also think that for trump in particular, this does not feel especially new to me in terms of his posture toward foreign entanglements from the outset of his presidential campaign in 2016, what i think is interesting and following vice president harris right now, now that she's the nominee, she is in this really delicate position of trying to balance her loyalty to the biden-harris administration, the posture they've events

versus ways in which maybe she can stake out a bit more of an independent identity on this issue and hopefully bring back in some of those voters that biden himself may have alienated. >> so we heard some of that following the meeting where harris focused more than you might have heard from beit all though biden did critic besides israel for the number of civilian civilian casualties, she pushed a little bit more in that direction, which which a lot of democrats do want to hear. it's a tough balance though to strike. so how is she going to manage that? >> i think she can continue to push push the envelope here and to get that balance. but i do think she is saying the same thing that the president is saying. she's actually saying the same thing, trump with thing i think tactics or just different and how they want to do it. but i don't think anyone in this country disagrees that we need to have a ceasefire and bring the rest of the hostages home. so i just i don't think she's saying anything abnormal, but i do think she's able to go further because we are in a different spot politically than we were 34 weeks ago. and what the president was going to say, no question. >> well, will continue to watch it. thanks so much, guys coming up next the u.s. raising

court. the former trump white house chief of staff claims the recent presidential immunity rooney ruling by the supreme court means his case should be thrown out entirely and this we have serious concerns that the results announced does not reflect the will or the votes. >> for the venezuelan people us, and other nations are questioning the reelection of venezuela. strong man president nicholas maduro. the opposition is demanding election authorities present all the voting tallies to verify the results. the alleged co-founders of the mexican sinaloa cartel are now under arrest in el paso, texas. is ismael el mayo zambada, and joaquin guzman lopez, son of el chapo, face multiple criminal charges. now, lawyer for zambada claims his client was duped and kidnapped turning back now to the 2024 race and the early polling showing vice president kamala harris making

inroads with her new campaign. harris is net favorability is now up to plus one, and that's a 12 point jump from just a little over a week ago, things are moving fast. trump is actually down there. the race is essentially hide in a number of key battleground states on the campaign trail this weekend, harris castro itself as the scrappy underdog, while acknowledging the work will have to do in the next three months let us be clear we have a fight and we're the underdogs in this race. okay. >> level. >> were the underdogs but this is a people-powered campaign and we have moment joining me now, democratic congressman from california, eric swalwell could ever yawn. thanks for waking up early with us course my pleasure so i'm sure you've been following the polling numbers as closely as as probably even more closely. i

mean, the favourability numbers have moved really well for harris just in the last week-and-a-half or so is certainly the state-by-state races are tighter than they were with biden as the candidate. and also at the national level, is she winning the race today? do you think or does she still has ground have ground to make up? >> she's on a momentum run. right now. it doesn't surprise me though. i mean, if you look at the contrast you have and donald trump someone who represents the past and not just because he's nearly 80, but because his policies are so creepy, there's so weird. they take us back in time, especially as it relates two women, i mean, 24 karat creep like ideas of forced marriage and bans on ivf and bans on abortion. who wants to go back to that? so she represents the future and also she's tough. and you see there's challenges in the world. you just set it up with election issues

venezuela, what's happening in israel, so she can leave the country and jim she's also just fun. i've known her for 20 years. we come from the same prosecutor's office in oakland. and you can see she's fine and i think it's refreshing to see somebody unlike donald trump who knows how to smile and who knows how to be serious? yes but not take themselves so seriously do you have a favorite vice presidential pick for her or vice president, presidential pick among several names being disgusted, you think would he is a smartest pick for the democrats when it comes to the vice presidential sweepstakes, there's one name that i keep focusing on. j.d. vance. he absolutely cannot be the vice president of the united states. and so anyone she picks will be eminently more qualified than a guy who thinks that if you're a single hard working woman in america, you should have to pay

more in taxes. again, this is just bizarre. doesn't make can you sense? and by the way, if you are single and you meet somebody you want to start a family j.d. vance doesn't support you using ivf to start that family and say unfortunately you start a family and your spouse becomes violent. he has said that he thinks that you should be forced to say and a violent marriage. so i don't kamala harris is going to pick anyone as weird and creepy. is j.d. vance she has a blessing of talented candidates to choose from. and i look forward to hearing from that selection committee soon i want to talk about young voters because the wash, the wall street journal has some interesting polling. this weekend, which has been discussed before, but the numbers seem to back it here about how among young voters typically a strength for democrats that you have a gender split here with men, skewing republican women skewing democrat women have for some time, but in effect danger for democrats among young male

voters. >> one, do you see that? and what is the democratic solution for that problem? well, freedom freedom on the horizon for your financial freedom bringing down the cost of college, health care. >> but freedom from violence. and this is a former prosecutor, someone who started in oakland and then worked in san francisco. she made it her priority to make sure that children under the age of 25, so young people, 25, then of course, children would die at lower rates from gun violence. and i think she both candidates have to answer what a substitute teacher told me a couple of weeks ago. and this woman told me she teaches middle schools. she fills in when the teacher sick or on a vacation, she said, the first question she's asked when she walks into a classroom to start the week is do you know where to put me as she's taken aback by it? and the kid says, no. do you know where to put me if

there's a shooting shooting in our classroom because our regular teacher knows, i want to make sure that you know, that's what kids are asking right now is are we safe in our classroom? who's going to protect them? i know kamala harris is tough and has led policies that can protect kids and every parent in america right now is wondering who's going to protect their kids. so that won't surprise me at all that she's going to do a lot better with the young people in america because she will protect here that same question from my own kids. but before we go, you're on the judiciary committee. president biden announcing new proposed reforms, including term limits for justices an ethics code is this realistic at all? get, you know, the legislative barriers to making reforms such as this in the near term or even, i mean, you even arguably in the long term i support fixing the court for too long. we've counted on the court to police and fix itself. and most recently, we saw two justices who had spouses, one who flew a

pro-insurrection flag and the other we went to donald trump insurrection rally. and those justices did not recuse themselves. one justice has millions and millions of dollars of disclose gifts. and people are starting to wonder is our court truly independent? and so if they're not going to do it themselves than working going to have to do it for them. and i support efforts to fix the court to make our democracy much, much stronger. >> congressman eric swalwell of california, thanks so much for joining us. my pleasure. >> we'll kindle harris this search for a running mate is picking up steam. >> former attorney general eric holder is leading the harris campaign teams scouring the battlegrounds of potential kif hicks, including north carolina governor roy cooper, pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, arizona senator mark kelly, others include minnesota governor tim walz giving us a look at how they might perform on the campaign trail through multiple tv appearances listen

to the guy he's talking about, hannibal lecter and you shocking sharks and just whatever crazy thing pops into his mind. >> and i thought we just give him way too much credit and i think one of the things is is when you just ratchet down some of the scariness or whatever and just name it what it is. i got to tell you, jake, my observation on this have you ever seen the guy laugh that seems very weird to me that a, that an adult can go through 6.5 years of being in the public eye if he has left its at someone not with someone that that is weird behavior i don't think you call it anything else weird attack continues. >> my panel is back so a lot of what factor do you think will be decisive in harris's vice presidential pick so she has already come out with statements or rather her spokespeople have saying that what she is considering is somebody who has had experienced governing at the highest level, which my response was, well, why don't why not joe biden anyway, i

think it's not at all surprising that you're seeing governors the forefront of who she's looking at governors in swing states in particular, but the approach she's taking seems to be quite pragmatic. >> this is not she's not looking for somebody who can gin up the base and the way that donald trump was trying to do with j.d vance. she's looking for somebody to actually round out that ticket. and i think any any you've already him on that list could certainly help get her there megan historically, vice presidential picks do not bring new states despite all the talk of, you know, picking someone who's from a swing state. >> they more reflect give an impression of how a presidential candidate decides if you look back to say the sarah palin pick, you could argue that seriously damage mccain and so it's so given that kind of framing, do you have a favorite i like all the people that are out there. >> i think all of them will be really helpful. i think that she's probably looking for someone who's gonna treat that she wants to treat equally as a partner. i know that you know, just like president biden and president obama had such a great relationship in her and the president have a great relationship. so i think that

is super important for them as she's looking to see who she's gonna pick matt, do you have a vice presidential pick on the democratic side that would make you the most nervous. >> i mean, most nervous, but i've been being in the mark kelly jump for low awhile. i think he's not a governors that might catch some points against him, but at least he's running some top tier senate races he obviously brings the kind of the gabby giffords angles we can talk about guns, which obviously swalwell want to do there illiterat background, military background, right. like there's a little the tough part is being from i did this a little bit on the romney side, there's a small window to somebody who is an astronaut and his tough senate races. this vetting cliff is a little bit less steep matt, megan alayna, great to have you with me this morning. thanks so much to all of you. thanks so much for all of you for joining us. i'm jim sciutto in washington, cnn news central starts right now brancn
