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 brand new cnn reporting

this morning, the harris campaign seizing on j.d. >> vance is a major liability for donald trump and doubling down on a new attack line against the republic look in ticket, labeling them as just plain weird breaking this morning, president biden proposing major changes to the supreme court and new details ultimately local swat team about the communication breakdown at donald trump's pennsylvania rally. >> text messages show concerns were raised 90 minutes before the shooter climbed onto the roof. kate is out today. i'm john berman with sara sidner and this is cnn news sexual new this morning, president biden doing something no president has done in nearly 100 years, demand sweeping changes for the supreme court. >> just eight days after bowing out of the 2024 race why now calling for reforms that would limit terms for justices who currently serve lifetime terms,

introduced a new code of ethics and propose a constitutional amendment to strip presidential immunity. a direct rebuke of the high court's recent ruling in favor in donald trump's case. biden in a brand new opinion for the washington post writing, this nation was founded on a simple, yet profound principle. no one is above the law, not the president of the united states, not a justice of the supreme court of the united states. no one. and while biden's reforms are unlikely to pass, they are political red meat for democrats. now, 99 days to the election, cnn's priscilla alvarez is at the white house for us. priscilla, the campaign fight over this is taking further shape now, what are you learning about how they're trying to go forward in harris campaign while the president alluded to these proposals in his address to the nation last week, of course, the supreme court, it's controversial rulings was part of his campaign platform and it's one that we will continue to to see under vice president kamala harris.

>> but these proposals stand little chance of going anywhere. now as to what it includes a constitutional amendments stripping the president of immunity from crimes committed while in office, as well as term limits for justices to serve those lifetime appointments. and also that binding code of conduct. now of course, taken together, this would mark a seismic changes for how the supreme court operates. and in that op-ed, the president also saying the following that's why in the face of increasing threats to america's democratic institutions, i am calling for three bold reforms to restore trust and accountability to the court. and our democracy. but again, sara, this would stand very little chance of going anywhere because it faces such a steep uphill battle for example, it would include congressional approval and in a divided congress, it's unlikely that this would get passed but that constitutional amendment would also require the ratification

of multiple states. and that ended of itself is a complicated process. so while these are proposals and reforms that the president has cast as good for it's offer. see, it's unlikely that they will come to fruition. now the president will be announcing these in austin, texas. today. that is where he is going to commemorate the civil rights act. but even if this doesn't stand a chance of passing, you can expect that it's going to be something we'll hear about on the campaign trail from the vice president as well. she has multiple times talked about those controversial rulings from the court. the court itself has been unpopular and come under questioning over ethics. so all of this is really part of the messaging that this administration is doing to say, essentially that there is a way to better the supreme court even if it does mark the seismic changes and even if it faces a steep, steep uphill battle on passing, certainly a talking point likely not going to pass. but

one thing is for sure the grass at the white house is going to look really, really good today. i'm just guessing. i see your friend back there doing the job. all right. priscilla alvarez. thank you so much, john. >> look, i don't think it's the best time of day to take care of your law. and by the way, it's too be that as it may this morning, vice president kamala harris has 200 million new dollars in her pocket in a new plan to exploit the republican vice presidential nominee, senator j.d. vance. now the harris campaign claims that vance is the most unpopular vp pick in decades with the backlash still reverberating over his comment from years ago, labeling harris and others, quote, childless cat, ladies, seen as eva mckend joins us this morning with this latest new. so what's the plan here? eva? >> you know, john republicans argue the enthusiasm around harris is manufactured, but the pain providing us this morning, some specific proof points, some evidence of real energy. not only did she raise $200 million since president biden

announced he would not seek reelection a week ago 66% of those people are donating for the first time. the campaign also telling us this morning that 100 and 170,000 people have signed up to volunteer in the last week, and they have a new target j.d. vance, very rarely do campaigns make the running mate of their opponents are real focus, but they argue donald trump is breaking records for the worst possible vp rollout a candidate could have never mind uniting the country, j.d. vance can't unite his own party. there also dismissing trump and vance as weird. take a listen to how this sounds on the campaign trail. governor tim walz of minnesota the out on the stump this weekend, he of course, is one of the governor's harris is reportedly considering to be his running mate. let's listen these guys are just weird. >> that's so it didn't much out. don't give them the power, don't lift these guys up. like there's sometimes a hero's everybody in this room

knows i know what the teacher, a bully has no self confidence. a bully has no strength. >> they have nothing despite all of this projected confidence, john harris maintains she's still the underdog in this race, telling donors at a fundraiser this weekend, this is a people-powered campaign. >> and we we have momentum eva mckend for us in washington, if people want to take a look harry has got an interesting presentation on j.d. >> vance and his relative popularity of the race right now, sara, we'll be looking forward to that. >> all right. israel launches new strikes inside lebanon to make hezbollah, quote, pay the price for a deadly attack that killed a dozen children over the weekend the massive park fire forces widespread evacuation in california. as the man accused of starting it heads to court this morning. and some olympic triathletes in paris have to miss out on swim practice. you'll never guess why has to do with the san. it's dirty the edge.

water probably there in the river, and they determined that it was unsafe for these athletes to continue. so for a second time now the triathlon, swimming portion of practice this has been canceled. they're concerned about the health there were two days of pouring down rain here in paris. and due to that, the heavy rain can overwhelm the sewage system. and then you have this unsafe water being discharged into the river. e coli levels just too high. organizers say though that given the forecast over the next 36 hours, lots of sunshine, higher temperatures they're confident that the triathlon competition will be able to go on. that'll be the men's competition in first, but it's set to go off tomorrow's. so not much time for them to pull this off. if they can, if they do have to cancel the swimming portion of the triathlon, they're going to do a run cycle, run competition. so all those people who train so hard for the swimming portion and that's their strong point. they are just left without that

as part of the games. if they are not able to have it in it in the competition. now, i want to switch to us women's gymnastics team because it was an absolute party via hey, last night in the arena, you had celebrities coming in like tom cruise, snoop dogg, lady gaga, john legend, his wife chrissy teigen. all there to see a goat in paris. of course, we're talking about simone biles. she's done putting in our third olympic games. but during the warm-ups of her floor routine, she gets injured the whole arena, got quiet. she's limping. her coach comes over to check on her. she goes out through the tunnel, comes back now, tapes up or ankle, and then starts flying through the air like we've become accustomed to see her do a dominant performance wowing the crowd or coach said it's a lingering calf injury so we'll keep our eye on that, but biles puts on this iconic performance team usa went on to qualify for the team competition for the five gymnast compete they qualified for individual events as well, led by biles to has

she has qualified for four of the five events. so a chance for five more medals to add to her already seven olympic medals of her incredible career. >> there is no doubt she is the goat the one and only in gymnastics. all right. coy us women's soccer, how they do know they're coming out blazing as well. this team, they earned their spot in the knockout stage already. they've got a 41 when dominant win over germany new coach emma hayes. >> she has this team absolutely role in looking scary, good. >> sophia smith, having two goals in this match mallory swanson, lynn williams, also adding goals. they have six points through two matches. they'll play their final group stage match against australia on wednesday. now, i want to show you something these are not high school yearbook photos, people. this teenage trio swept the medal competition here in the skateboarding street games.

edge moments that shaped our culture coming this fall on cnn looking at porn behind my back, in hiding in lying about it was exile much boys is going to take a lot more patients i type that we have a baby. i am certainly done with on sunday at ten on tlc this morning for the first time we are hearing from a member of the local swat team assigned to protect donald trump. >> the day of the assassination attempt. he detailed to abc news the crucial missteps and lack of communication that contributed to the near fatal moment we were supposed to get a face-to-face briefing with the secret service snipers. >> whenever they arrived in that never happened. so i think that was probably a pivotal point where i started thinking things were wrong because that never happened. and we had no communication with the secret

service so the revelation comes as new text messages uncovered by the new york times show local authorities raised the issue of this guy who ended up being the gunman up to 90 minutes before the attempt on trump's life. >> cnn's zach cohen is with us this morning with the latest zach, what are you seeing here? >> john communication was clearly a problem and specifically the communication between local officers and the u.s. secret service on the day of the rally, as you just mentioned. and as we heard in that soundbite, local swat team says that they did not get a face-to-face briefing with the us secret service before the rally started. and those communication issues seem to have person just to take a listen to what the swat team told abc about the lack of communication between not just us secret service and local swat team, but also with the pennsylvania state police multiple agencies working together is always taxing no matter what the problem. i know that we could not communicate with secret service or pennsylvania state police or

really in effort, the patrol directly so that lack of communication raises new questions about when did local officers notify us secret service that they had identified the suspicious looking individual who would later turn out to be the would-be assassin. >> these text messages obtained by the new york times via chuck grassley's office and chuck grassley, the republican from iowa, do show that there was an issue with when those text messages were shared or sorry, when the photo of this shooter was shared with us secret service, there's one in particular, because we're learning that they identified the shooter 90 minutes before the shooting took place, which is earlier than we knew in our previous timeline. text messages reported on by the new york times, it says kid learning around building, we are in, obviously maybe a typo there. i did see him with a rangefinder looking towards stage fyi, if you want to notify ss snipers to look out, i lost sight of him obviously some concern there at for 20

6:00 p.m. that's almost two hours before the rally began again, testifying before capitol hill, the u.s. secret service director, kimberly cheatle, would not answer those questions. she was later forced to resign just a day after her hearing will hear from the now acting secret service director. this week when he testifies on capitol it'll hill, that text message is something a lot of specificity. there, right? zach cohen. thank you very much for that. >> sara. >> all right. donald trump testing out a new attack line against kamala harris this weekend calling her worse than president biden. he said he would also potentially be worse himself when it comes to how he's going to canada in pain. this is less than 100 days until election day trump is expected to join arizona gop senate candidate kari lake for a virtual rally while his running mate, j.d. vance, heads to silicon valley today, cnn's steve contorno is joining us now steve, how trump react to the change of democratic opponent? bring this first

weekend after knowing that biden had dropped out well, as you said, sara, he has been testing a bunch of lines trying to see what sticks and yes, he's been attacking her on some of the things that he was going after biden immigration crime, the border inflation, but he was also testing out different the lines in front of different audiences. >> we saw him on friday in front of a christian audience claim that vice president harris was extreme on abortion, that she quote, doesn't like jewish people, which obviously she has a jewish husband and also that she was insufficiently pro-israel. then the next day, he was talking too big coin enthusiasts where he claimed that she was anti crypto and anti innovation. and then in minnesota that evening, trump's said that have harris wins, quote, the american dream is dead. so smattering of approaches there and meanwhile, he is under fire from democrats for something he said to that christian audience on friday night about whether they need to vote vote for him four years from now, take a listen to what

he said christians get out and vote. >> justice time you won't have to do it anymore four more years, you know what? it'll be fixed, it will be fine you won't have to vote anymore, but you gotta get out and vote in four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good. >> you're not going to have to now we asked the trump campaign to clarify what exactly trump was talking about there and his campaign said president trump was talking about uniting this country. >> and bringing prosperity to every american senator, tom cotton yesterday said that was obviously a joke meanwhile, the harris campaign saying in statements, when vice president harris says this election is about freedom, she means it. sara, steve contorno. thank you so much for bringing us that this morning, john. >> so 99 days now until the election and the harris

campaign this morning seems to fully embrace weird as a line of attack against donald trump and j.d. vance some of what he and his running mate are saying, let's just plain weird. these guys are just weird. that's the weirdest thing help he'll go in like literally haugen american flag now, i love the flood, but i mean it's like weird what he does with us now, former senior adviser for donald trump's 2016 campaign, jason osborne and former deputy communications director and associate counsel of vice president kamala harris rachel palermo. >> thanks so much for being with us. rachael weird. isn't interesting argument in seems different, or does it to existential threat to democracy? do they fight each other? >> thank you so much for having me. well, i think that weird might be a comment that can resonate whatever with everyday americans when they're looking at what we're seeing from the other side. but the reality is that vice president harris and then campaign is focused on

putting forward their clear vision of the country. that's a vision of opportunity. it's a vision of fundamental freedoms. and so they're absolutely focused on the substance here, but there also pointing out certain things that frankly have been weird. >> adjacent. would you rather if you're the trump campaign, would you rather be weird that an extra central threat to democracy is weird, something that sticks leaves a mark i don't think weird leaves a mark compared to what we're seeing from the other side continually. >> you know, you're you want to talk about weird, let's talk about how every time that something doesn't go, the democrats weigh all of a sudden we want to change the rules. we want to get rid of the electoral college because the popular vote in 2016 favored hillary clinton. we want to change the supreme court because it just didn't go the way that they wanted it to. i mean, i think that's more weird than anything else and look, donald trump has been kind of an anomaly in politics for is entire existence. in the presidential campaign world and

i don't think this weird stick actually works. when you put it up against kamala and some of the stuff that her that she's done over the last eight years. >> here's let me ask you this because one of the other things we've seen and we have new reporting this morning. is that the harris campaign wants to continue to focus on j.d. vance and harriott and it has a presentation, our senior data guru that j.d. vance has been in historically unpopular vp pick. so jason, from your perspective, is harris smart to keep the focus on him and how much do you think voters care about that number to selection, how much, how much ground can be gained by going after that? >> i don't know if the vice presidential pick is really kind of swayed the voter at least in my lifetime in presidential politics, as much as folks would like to say that it, that it makes a difference the top of the ticket are the ones that make the decisions. and so if we're going to start looking at vice presidential

comments that were made when they weren't running for vice president let's look at kamala harris when she talked about banning fracking as a presidential candidate and going into pennsylvania and saying, hey, we're going to ban fracking. absolutely. >> i mean, i think that if they want to, if the democrats want to focus on jd vance's comments that he made running for senate. >> then we welcome that argument because there's a lot more arguments to be made when camila was running for president and now she's having to run on the biden ticket basically rachel, what does the harris campaign get out of focusing on j.d. vance well, i think that the campaign is focusing on j.d. >> vance, but the focus of this campaign is no doubt donald trump, the contrast could not be more clear between vice president harris and donald trump. she's a career prosecutor he's a convicted felon. she has a vision for this country to take us forward, not backwards. and he wants to bring us backwards. and so of course that campaign is talking about j.d. vance,

but donald trump is the focus here because his vision for this country and where he wants to go would be devastating. >> but why then we have reporting which i believe frankly this morning, does the harris campaign want to highlight the vance pick rachel well, the vice president, vice president harris, has been the vice president for the last three-and-a-half years, she ran with president biden as his vice president when they were elected by 81 million americans during the 2020 election. >> and so of course, the vice president and they campaign, they're not going to ignore the vice presidential pick and there's a lot of material there to focus on while the focus is donald trump, of course, they're going to point to the fact that j.d. vance has issues as well jason politico and their playbook, which i like to call because they do a really nice job. >> their headline this morning is after the sugar high for vice president harris suggesting that she's experienced quite a week. i mean, it's been now seven full days. we're on our first you know, full new week of her having a presidential campaign

and it's been a tight, effective week where she's gaining ground on many fronts but it says that the harris campaign is aware of this, can't last forever. so if you i want you to flip around and put yourself in their shoes, how would you get the sugar high to last? >> well, i mean, i think they have done there's no question that the harris campaign has done a very good job of putting her out there and kind of putting to rest some of the issues that were involved with joe biden still being at the top of the ticket. i think there was you know, we spent a few weeks after the debate amongst all the political pundits on tv here talking about what if and who should be nominee be for the democrats. >> and so they did a good job. you have to give them credit for coalescing behind kamala harris. i think i've said it on this show and a, few others that there's no doubt that she should be the nominee instead of joe biden. if he dropped

out. and so i think they have to keep pushing forward on that message. i think focus on donald trump and the difference between kamala harris and donald trump. although i i'm on the donald trump side of things, but don't focus on j.d. vance obviously, the republicans are going to kind of look at who the vice-presidential pick would be for her as well other than that, i mean, continue doing what they're doing and i think we still win at the end of the day, but that's the way to win this race. >> jason osborne, great to see you. richard, promo, great to have you on. really appreciate it. sara all right. >> this morning, many women seeking an abortion in iowa will not be able to get one there. the state's strict abortion law is now in effect after a judge had blocked it from being enforced. when it was passed last year, it bars most abortions after about six weeks before many women even know they're pregnant. and is among the most restrictive in the country, liz lens is on the board of the iowa abortion access fund. she joins me now.

thank you so much for taking time with us. it's morning. curious what your biggest concern is about this abortion ban that is about six weeks yeah. >> so i have had three pregnancies that two babies in one miscarriage and every single time, i didn't find out, i was pregnant and chill sure it between eight to ten weeks. so when we talk about a six-week abortion ban, were really talking about a full and complete abortion ban. this ban also on paper has exceptions for rape and incest but when you look closer at those exceptions, you realize that the rape or incest has to be reported within two weeks of it happening and it relies on the doctors adjudicating whether it's rape or incest, which is something that even the police have a hard time adjudicating. so the reality is, this is a complete and total abortion

ban. and even though so on paper, it has exceptions. and so my fear and concern is that this is going to result in the death of women. and like we saw in texas, how they're abortion ban resulted in an increase of infant mortality rates. this is also going to result in the deaths of infants as well. >> i'm really sorry to hear about you having to go through all of that. you've got two children, but had a miscarriage and i know that is awful for women to have to experience what are you hearing from women? what are you hearing from people knowing that this is going into effect today? >> yes. i have several friends who are pregnant with very wanted pregnancies and they're in the early stages of their pregnancies, but they're also older because the reality is women are getting pregnant at older ages. and they know that abortion care there's also miscarriage care. like when i

had my miscarriage, i needed a d&c. what people don't realize that that's actually abortion care. i have a lot of friends that people in my community, the people i talked to with my work at the iowa abortion access, then people are afraid. they're consumer another reality is that iowa has the fewest ob-gyns per capita out of any state in the nation. so people are not just afraid for their own health, their own reproductive health, but their health overall, because this is going to stop doctors from coming to the state and it's already really hard to find care and i live in one of the biggest cities in the state. but if you live in a rural area, one-third of iowa's counties are maternity care deserts 61% of our rural hospitals do not have a labor and delivery. so people are just really really scared and really afraid yeah, you had

quoted a study done by the non-profit march of dimes stating that there are these maternal care deserts across iowa where there's no ob-gyns know birthing centers, know maternity wards can you give me some sense of how the iowa abortion access fund is planning to try to continue to provide care to women so we are one of the oldest abortion access funds in the nation. we were started right after roe was established as the law of the land by local i mean who just wanted to support other people who needed abortion care. and so we're going to continue that work no matter what the law is, we have partnered with a chicago access fund so that we can continue to provide care and resources and financial resources for women who need abortion care. well, outside of the state similar to texas where people were going to other states, the other states have to brace for this if they are still providing

abortion care, that's a less restrictive liz lens. >> thank you so much for joining us this morning and explaining all that from your perspective, john. >> all right. happening now, a wildfire burning an area larger than the city of phoenix the man accused of starting this fire is expected to make his first appearance in court today in new polling, just into cnn shows that most americans now think owning a home is a pipe dream the darkness of bipolar depression, make me feel like i was losing interest in the things i love and i found a chance to let in the light, discover, capitalize unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar one capital ada is proven to deliver inefficient symptom relief from both bipolar one and two depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common capital. >> it can cause serious side effects. call your doctor about sudden mood changes. behaviors are suicidal thoughts right away, antidepressants may increase these risks. these

appear in court today. cnn's camila bernal in diego, california this morning with the latest what are you seeing this morning? camila john. >> this is just devastation here, thousands and thousands of acres that look a lot like what you see here behind me and fire officials have told me that the center the fire is still very active. it's still in very steep terrain. and what they're saying though, is that they were able to make some progress because of two things. one over the weekend, we had a lot better weather and you also have a lot more resources. we now have about 4,700 boots on the ground. and so what that means is that they can i'm come to areas like this one and do an assessment. they say about 100 structures have already been destroyed. >> but the other thing they say is that they were able to have a direct and aggressive attack on those flames. >> and so thanks to that attack, they were able to move that containment from zero to

12%. it may not seemed like a lot, but it does make a difference for a lot of these firefighters and for the people would let her on the front lines of this fire. another thing that firefighters told me is that their priority is to get people back into their homes. they are very sensitive to the people of this area. they are very conscious of what they've lived. these are people who are impeached you county who went through the deadliest fire in california history back in 2018. so anecdotally, i can tell you that a lot of the residents here have taken evacuation orders and warnings. very seriously. they've been paying attention, trying to keep up because of how devastating these fires could be. they are very old where of the dangers of these fires. and so overall, the community just very happy to see that containment number go up. but also they know that there's still a lot of work to be done here as thousands and thousands of acres continued to burn. john i can't even tell it was a car behind you. it

just shows the scope of the damage you're seeing in that area. camila bernal. thanks so much for being with us this morning. appreciate it. sara. >> the park fire is the latest blaze, pouring dangerous smoke into the air and new research is showing long-term exposure to wildfire smoke can actually affect your brain. cnn's jacqueline howard is joining us now with details on this new study what, what can wildfire smoke due to the brain, we certainly feel it in your nose and your throat. any of us who've been out there during these wildfires? >> exactly. sara and we know that it's also associated with an increased risk of being diagnosed with dementia. now the latest research on this is being presented today at the alzheimer's association international conference. and researchers found that there's a 21% increase and the odds of being diagnosed with dementia, that's associated with every one microgram increase of particulate matter in wildfire smoke. that's microgram per

meter. and this particulate matter itself, it refers to those small particles and droplets. and wildfire smoke. and in other types of air pollution that you breathe in and when you inhale particulate matter, research suggests that can increase amyloid in the brain. and we know the buildup of amyloid plaques is associated with alzheimer's. so that might be the key behind this association. but sara, like you said, we know the health effects of wildfire smoke. it can impact your lungs, your heart. there's so much happening there that research has really shedding light on as we see more air pollution really around the world. >> it's terrifying for the firefighters because they're in these fires so much more now than they have been decades ago. what are some of the other health risks that particulate matter might be associated with yes. >> we know it's also associated with an increased risk of heart attack, asthma, decreased lung function. so all of that can

play a role on your health. and like you said, sara, those who are most increased risk first responders and children and older adults and this whole list that you see right here is just some of the research that we've seen when it comes to the health effects of particulate matters. so this is a big, big area of research right now as we think about how air pollution in general can impact our brains and our bodies. >> sara, jacqueline howard, thank you for that. appreciate it, john. >> all right. this morning, new cnn polling shows that most americans think home ownership is a dream that my never come true. many americans who do not own a home right now say they do not think they will ever be able to afford one cnn's matt egan, who falls or so closely is with us now, what are you learning, matt? >> well, john, look, this is such a frustrating housing market for the millions of americans who are on the outside looking in, right? they want to buy, but they just can't not with these prices, not what these mortgage rates and someone them then throwing in the towel, they're walking away. so this brand new cnn

poll shows that aid he's 6% of us renters would like to buy, but they can't 86%, just 13% say they could afford it. but they're choosing not to, not to take this a step further when you just look at the ones who can't afford it, only 46% say it's either very or somewhat likely that eventually so there'll be able to by more than half, 54% say it's not too likely or not at all likely that they'll ever be able to buy. that really speaks to a lot of pessimism here about the american dream, how it feels like it's out of reach politically, you could see how this would be an issue for the party in power and economically, it's a problem too, because look homeownership remains the ticket to wealth generation. so this is just widening the gap between the haves and have nots. it is bleak. i mean, what are the specific obstacles that people see? >> well, first it's the mortgage, right? we're looking at 17% who say qualifying for a mortgage is the biggest barrier. another 31% say it's interest rates now the good

news on that front we have seen mortgage rates calm down last year. there were almost at 8%. now they're below 7%. that's not low, but they could go lower. the fed starts to raise lower interest rates, but the down payment that's the biggest barrier, 40% of those who can afford it say that's the problem and look, the median home price $427,000. so even if you're only putting down 10%, you're still looking at 40 k plus maybe another ten for closing costs a lot of money. and this is very frustrating. i've talked to some people who want to buy. >> there's a dad who's got twins in atlanta, he's a millennial and he told me that he just he's given up on homeownership because of what he's seen out there. >> he's just this mean he said, i'm not going to pay $350,000 for a rundown house. he said, i'm not going to play your game anymore. i'm done. and he said this is taking an emotional toll to because he said he's sort of felt like a failure as a husband as a father because there was no lawn for his kids to play so look, john, a lot of people are frustrated. hopefully rates

come down, home, prices, chillout a little bit because this is a tough market out there. look, it's tough i've been a father of two is not owning a house that i know how hard that can be and what a challenge it is. send our best to him and hopefully, there is some relief in sight for so many americans who want to get in to this housing matt, thanks so much. thank you, john. >> all right. a new hour of cnn, new central starts now this morning, president biden set to take unprecedented action pushing for sweeping changes to the supreme court that he says is mired in a crisis of ethics new polling numbers show vice president kamala harris, harris making major gains, including now virtually tying donald trump in key battle ground states how she aims to capitalize on her momentum. >> and a potential breakthrough. and the way doctors detect dementia, how a simple blood test could change the way we diagnose it. i'm sara sider with john berman,
