kate bolduan is out today. this is cnn new central this morning does donald trump have a j.d. >> vance? problem? >> the harris campaign thinks so more importantly, wants voters to think so this morning in this brand new line of attack the harris campaign is calling vance the most unpopular vp pick in decades. and vance himself faces backlash for calling harris and others. child was catley it is with no direct stake in the country that was an inner a few years ago, that's still reverberating. cnn's eva mckend is with us this morning. what does the harris campaign see as this opening as they begin a new week? >> you know, john, when i look at this strategy, it reminds me there is a benefit to going second. she will plan to set up a stark contrast between vance

and her own vp. pick the harris campaign thinks vance's a major liability for trump in the coming days, they will argue he's weird and ill-prepared you know, not only that he's flip-flopped on positions, remember at one point he was a never trumper they say now that biden is out of the contest, they will attempt to argue vance's lack of readiness as a problem because of trump's advanced age. they will focus on vance's lack of executive experience. and we heard a little bit of this on the campaign trail this weekend. kentucky governor andy beshear, he is one of the people on the shortlist to be harris's pick he was out on the stump and in support of harris. and here's how he went after trump and vance i mean, two nights ago, he called her a bomb if he wants to see a bum, he ought to look in the mirror and what else are you looking back? are multiple bankruptcies and 34 felony convictions then again,

when j.d. vance looks in the mirror, he doesn't see any conviction at all and harris will be busy this week. >> she's holding a campaign rally in atlanta tomorrow, and then she'll be in texas later in the week for the funeral of sheila jackson lee john. >> it is interesting because one of the things we're now hearing from vice president harris is maybe an attempt to manage expectations in the short-term a little bit. what are you seeing there? >> that's right, john, she has seen a burst of momentum. republicans argue that it's manufactured, but you raised more than $200 million in a week. and then also she's got 170,000 new volunteers. to the campaigns still she's cautioning supporters that she is still the underdog in this race and that they have a big fight in the weeks ahead. >> john, you always want to run like you're the underdog in any race. even mckend, nice to

see you this morning. thanks so much. sara alright. with me now is democratic congresswoman barbara lee of california thank you so much for joining us. nice purple background there just wanted to ask you a quick question about about camila. camila is from the state. she grew up in her career in the bay area and i'm curious what you make of they're attack lines right now, which is sort of calling the other campaign, especially j.d. vance weird well, nicely with you you know j.d. >> vance first of all, is not prepared to be the vice president. and we have to remember that a vice president is when who would for whatever reason, would have to step in as president if in fact the president could not serve to have someone such as a j.d vance on this ticket demonstrates who donald trump

is. if you ask me, it demonstrates or shows us exactly what he believes in by selecting a j.d. vance, who is quite as the campaign said, weird also, pretty pretty unprepared, very scary in many respects. and so when you look at a j.d. vance, think of him as being or possibly being a president. i can't imagine having a j.d vance in the white house with the values with the lack of variance and with his really way of approaching people and women. and his clear position on our democracy, because remember, he was an anti-trumper for a long time and we don't know if he believes in democracy or not because he goes whichever way the wind is blowing i'm curious since we're talking about vice

president might throw out some names here for no apparent reason. >> josh shapiro of pennsylvania and senator mark kelly of arizona, andy bashir i've kentucky tim waltz, minnesota. there's another name being floated about pete buttigieg is secretary of transportation roy cooper of north carolina, who would you like to see be camilla's vice president, pick sara let me tell, you. i have known vice president harris over three decades as she's very smart. she's strategic as she will make her decision based on many, many factors and she's deliberative and whomever she decides to be her vice president. that's who we should unify around. and understand she made the correct decision as her to be sure that she has her own vice president, but also for the country because she's going to select someone she believes is the best person who can lead this country on. >> harris agenda all right.

>> so you're going to back over harris picks. i do want to ask you about something that's come up again and again on social media. elon musk, the owner of x, which formerly twitter and tesla and many other things. chiming in on his site where he's got millions and millions and millions of followers calling her an ics dinkinesh for comments she made about climate change, saying that some young people don't want to have kids because they fear what their world is going to be looked like due to climate change. but he also shared a fake video using an ai voice of vice president harris calling herself the ultimate diversity hire that was not her voice. he has a huge platform. what do you think about the head of a social media company like this with such huge reach, sharing this misinformation well, in addition to being disgusting, it shows you just how dangerous he is and how dangerous it is for social media not to have guardrails. >> and how we need to make sure that as we look at ai and move

forward that there are some regulatory guardrails and rules that it has to follow. otherwise, we're going to see all kinds of unfortunate things happen, which are fake, which shows that anyone can say anything about anyone or do anything and not have any accountability and accountability is so important. and i think he has showing us exactly what the lack of accountability and on social media and with ai can do, it really is very dangerous and we need to step up and call for some kind of accountability. >> he's not just a user, he runs the company and is sharing these sorts of things and there's been a lot of talk about whether or not there needs to be some rules put down by congress. we will wait and see if that actually happens. i do ask you about something biden has proposed a new rules for the supreme court such as term limits after 18 years of services is all coming. of course because of questions

over ethics with a couple of supreme court members, i'm curious what you think of that. and if it's something you think kamala harris should sign onto this is a very important decision for the president to make. and i'm so glad he did first of all, we have legislation calling for most of the provisions that he has called for. secondly, the supreme court is at its lowest and in fact the public has to have trust in the justice system. that's what it's supposed to be when you look at the supreme court as you talked about corporate control, that's who has controlling now, the supreme court. and when you look at the public and understand why the public is so disappointed and has did decided that it's not a court that they could support. we need to do exactly what president biden has proposed with regard to term limits. we have to absolutely have term limits for supreme court is not elected. i don't support term limits for elected officials

because i believe in a democracy, people have the right to vote for who? so they want to vote for. but appointed officials such as supreme court justices absolutely should have term limits. so i'm very pleased that, but it's the biden-harris administration has moved forward with this and our legislation in congress actually is legislation that speaks to all the issues that the president has put forward congresswoman barbara lee. >> thank you so much for joining us there from washington. appreciate you, john. >> all right. just 99 days until election day. polls show the race tightening. we've got new reporting on trump campaign strategy to fight the momentum of vice president kamala harris. and this morning, us citizens in lebanon told to prepare to shelter in place for long periods, has pension escalates in the middle east. new details from law enforcement about the communication breakdown that led to the assassination attempt or contributed to the assassination attempt? on donald trump tv on the edge,

national security analyst jim sciutto is with us now jim, you've done extensive reporting in northern israel in this affected area after october 7. and i do understand you've got new reporting on all of this this morning that's right, john, i'm told that the administration, the u.s. administration is not expecting a major israeli operation in southern lebanon for now, a major ground invasion. they are certainly bracing themselves for, as i think the region is, israeli retaliation. you heard that right out of the mouth of these israeli prime minister. and i think what we saw overnight and the video that you're showing there is an indication of that doesn't mean that that strike overnight is the last strike. but they're not expecting a major ground invasion, right now now. that doesn't mean it never comes, right? and i'll tell you when i was there going back to late october or november last year, when speak to many israelis, but also those in the military. it's a matter of when not if israel solves as they will often say

the hezbollah problem. and part of that is driven by all those people, many tens of thousands of people, israelis who've been forced to flee south from the northern israeli border and still haven't been able to go home because of that constant threat of strikes coming across the border from hezbollah in southern lebanon. >> a very different opponent though, and hezbollah than hamas, one would extensive resources into to rid themselves of what they call the hezbollah problem would be resource heavy operation. know but on that other issue in gaza right now, how does the situation there in the piece talks? how does all of it play together? >> listen part, part of it is that you know, from the u.s. perspective and from others in the region is israel cook can't really go into southern lebanon with a major operation until they complete military operations in gaza. however, they define complete, right? and those military operations are still underway smaller scale than we saw earlier in the war. but they're still

underway, doesn't mean they could never do it. but that's the thinking they would much prefer to finish in the south before they do anything in the north. but you have other factors there. you have benjamin netanyahu's own political calculations thinking that he pushes out these negotiations further, feeling that he has less pressure now from president biden now he is stepping down. you have hamas perhaps calculating and you've seen this john, that extending the conflict there is actually in their interest, despite the enormous civilian casualties that piece factors into the calculations about the northern front as well. and listen you and i have talked about prospects for a ceasefire deal in gaza for weeks and months right now. and every time it seems that you're getting close, there's something that pulled the sides the sides back from actually pushing it across the finish line and it's familiar territory and the people of gaza continue to suffer, but it's not clear that all the key parties are

ready to make the deal. there. >> what is the thinking on and not suggesting that the situation on the northern border of israel hasn't been deadly. it has been deadly and it's displaced tens of thousands of people. but hezbollah has acted in a way that does not escalate this situation in a particularly major you're a way over the last several months. why why it does iran play into this at all? >> iran does i mean, there's even some thinking that iran doesn't want a broader regional war that goes back to when you had those, those missile and drone attacks a few weeks ago, that there was some signaling from iran that okay, we're going to stop here right now. whether that that's enough to saturday that's why israel, others are understandably not not clear that it would be regardless, there has been some questions as to as to how far iran wants this to go. hezbollah has a domestic political problem. rimon is a militant group, but it has a political problem and it the lebanese people don't want to go to war. you heard that from the lebanese foreign minister speaking to our ben wedeman earlier today as well. so they

know that they wouldn't necessarily have the lebanese population on their side given the size of any conflagration, right in the north. but then you have to think is israel's calculus. you and i cover the 2006 war when israel went into southern lebanon has, which was already bloody and long and deadly for israeli forces and so on. and everybody involved, hezbollah has an order of magnitude. more missiles and rockets than it had then. so the cost to israel, even with its air defenses, the potential costs are enormous as well. there are massive risks for everybody involved to expanding this jim sciutto, always great to have you on. thanks so much for being with us this morning sir. alright. just ahead, new developments in diagnosing alzheimer's, a blood test that significantly better at predicting ticketing. the ailment and a cnn exclusive inside look at how the supreme court delivered a rare win for reproductive rights while at the same time, one state is enacting a very restrictive ban.

and turns would change the course of that case. cnn chief supreme court analyst joan biskupic is joining us now with an exclusive look at this. you got behind the scenes good morning. what can you tell us about how this changed when the ruling finally came out about idaho? >> sure. sara, it's good to see you and you know, abortion remains one of the most difficult topics for the supreme court and for the country. and it's certainly an issue in the presidential campaign. we wanted to find out why the justices in january of this year allowed idaho's very restrictive abortion ban take effect. but then by june dismiss the case and essentially said, never mind what we found out is in that first move in january of this year, it was a secret 6-3 vote. they never reveal how they vote six to three vote with the republican appointed conservatives wanting idaho's ban to take effect over the objections of the democratically appointed three liberals idaho's law is

controversial because it has an exception only four to prevent the death of the mother, not for a medical emergencies. for her health. and the biden administration was arguing that federal law protects women in emergency situations and would allow abortions in emergency rooms to protect her health, not just two avoid death, but what happened then by april when the justices heard the case and then voted in another private session that conservative super majority started to blunter justice. amy coney barrett, in particular was concerned about what was happening on the ground in idaho. women were having to be airlifted out of state when they had complications from pregnancies, her arguments in her concerns convinced justices, chief justice john roberts and brett kavanaugh. to consider how to dismiss this case. but the problem they had was at three other conservative

justices, clarence thomas, samuel alito, and neil gorsuch didn't want to dismiss the case. they wanted to keep it and they wanted to rule for idaho. and it's very restrictive ban that gave liberals rare leverage. the liberal because as you know, sara have only three votes on this court, usually, and usually they cannot get their way for even some sort of compromise. but this time they did working with those three conservatives at the center they they ensured not only that the case would be dismissed, but that original january order would we lifted the justices at the center had resisted lifting that january order. they wanted idaho's ban to stay in effect even as the case played out in lower courts. but the liberals made sure that part of the compromise was that the idaho ban would not be enforced in emergency rooms right now in idaho, women don't have to be airlifted out for pregnancy complications. but sara, i tell you that this case will be back

not just potentially from idaho, but other states are trying to ensure that biden administration policy to protect pregnancy complications does not interfere with their restrictive state fans, sarah? >> yeah, they certainly supreme court left the door open. we know that president biden, we're expecting to call on some big restrictions when it comes to the supreme court as well. we'll talk about that a bit later. joan biskupic. thank you so much for your reporting. appreciate it. >> john thanks. >> so how much can change in one week? >> apparently quite a bit new polls show how opinions of vice president harris have shifted over the last seven days it. sting operation with the help of a double agent. why a major cartel leader in us custody says he was double-crossed and forcibly kidnapped by a fellow card cartel member when to

now. so what is he trying? why is he having difficulty landing on something steve well, john, it's a scattershot approach because they really have been planning to go against an 81-year-old unpopular incumbents and now find themselves against a much more dynamic opponents. >> so what you're seeing is then test a whole bunch of lines in front of a christian audience on friday, they were attacking vice president harris is abortion position. they said she was insufficiently pro-israeli actually said she doesn't like jewish people that was a direct quote from the former president, obviously, her husband is jewish and then later in the weekend, he appeared here before bitcoin enthusiasts where he claimed that vice president harris was anti crypto and anti innovation. and then when we got to minnesota, he was attacking her saying that if harris wins the quote, the american dream is dead, the texts are also getting increasingly personal. take a listen to what else he said over the weekend she was a bum

three weeks ago. >> she was a bum a failed vice president, and a failed administration. we have a new victim now, kamala we have a brand new victim and honestly, she's a radical left lunatic. and g is when you find out about her, well, i have to say is defund the police jack clearly the message of unity and the so-called nice trump that may have emerged for a brief moment during the convention is gone and trump himself has said, there's no more being nice in this race and we expect this to get increasingly nasty and personal as we go on and part of that is because the trump campaign believes that vice president harris, though she is well recognized, she isn't well known. >> and so they are trying to define her before she can define herself.

>> that is the race right now, secrets are no thanks so much for being with us. appreciate it. sara. >> all right. how are voters feeling now that kamala harris is topping the democratic ticket? new polling just dropped and guess who's coming to visit? yep, cnn senior data reporter harry enten joining us now. as you ran the numbers, what are you seeing? what are people feeling? >> steve mentioned this, you know, harris is yes, she was the vp, but now she's at the top of the ticket. i think opinions of her moving rather face. so this is the net favorability ratings. this is from an abc news ipsos poll that literally dropped just within the last 24 hours. i'm gonna be interested if other police forces his net favorability that's favorable minus unfavorable. look, this a week ago when she was at -11 points, look at this. she's jumped all the way up to plus one point trump has it's actually dropped a little bit from -11 -16, but that movement isn't so why compared to this 12 point movement? and i think the real question is, will this stick and other polling because democrats absolutely loved this and it gets back to steve's point, that opinions on harris,

i think are much more malleable than they were for joe biden where you just said that consistently exit of writing here, that's the first time i've seen a politician running for national office with a net positive rating i don't know since when. >> i mean, it's something unforeseen, at least over the last four years. >> and that is quite a spread there. >> yes, that is quite democrats love this. >> i'm sure they do. all right, voter enthusiasm among democrats, speaking of democrats, what did that look like? and how did that yeah, you know, opinions are one thing when it comes to the individual candidates, but enthusiasm, we know that democrats are suffering from low enthusiasm. so enthusiastic about voting. >> so this is democrats for biden or harris. look at this back in february, just 62% of democrats said they were enthusiastic about voting for joe biden. look at this now wolf up to 88%. now say that they are enthusiastic about voting for kamala harris. that is a huge jump, that is a 26 point drop. look at trump during the same stretch republicans for trump, it was 80% in february. look, it's still fairly high at 82%, but

compared to february where trump had this 18 point advantage. now we see harris with a six-point advantage definitely for democrats game on. they are very enthusiastic. we see it in the money being raised. we seen a volunteer science, and now we're seeing in the polling as well. >> and they're hoping that translates to in the line to vote or voted and what they're hoping for we'll wait and see what about the all-important battleground states, because that's what everyone's looking at, that this is going to be according to do any others? a very tight race. yes. >> so this is all national polling, but ultimately it comes down to the electoral college. and this is harris versus trump. these are the northern battleground states. this is all polling conducted since kamala harris became the presumptive democratic nominee, or the very likely democratic nominee. look at this in the great lake battleground states, pure toss-ups plus one in wisconsin. well within any margin of error, michigan tied pennsylvania type. we thought these were going to be tight at this point. they look like they're going be tight perhaps a little bit more interesting with these gop reaches where donald trump was competitive with joe biden. but look now minnesota plus six harris. look

at new hampshire plus senate seven harris maine plus nine harris gop reaches where they thought they could play against joe biden at this particular point. it doesn't look like they can play against kamala harris. it looks like this election is going to be decided here in the northern battleground. and of course, those sunbelt battleground, where you don't have new polling it. but we'll just have to wait and see arizona, nevada, georgia, north carolina, but looks like it's going to be much more like the traditional map than it's going to be one of these wider ranging map where we're going to have to states that put into play that were not used to these at this point, at least these particular states looked like the gop reaches will continue to be gop reaches. >> this is interesting since the governor of minnesota is also a potential vice presidential pick, but it looks like she's doing quite well. there's so many if she's doing quite well, it's gonna be interesting. maybe you had democratic vice president does it might come out of your gretchen whitmer, josh shapiro, maybe you get one little extra point, turns those ties into maybe plus one. >> gretchen is out, so it may be judge, we will have everyone everyone is out until their backend? correct. all right. harry enten. thank you so much, john. >> we had a wolf there and

enthusiasm in the untouchables. all right, with us now republican strategist just rina shaw also with us cnn political commentator, former biden white house communications director kate bedingfield. and i would like to say we've shown enormous restraint so far in this broadcast is 8:39 a.m. and i don't think we've mentioned the veepstakes once. i'm ending that restraint. right now. they just mentioned it right there, but it took a long time and kate, i want to play some sound for you because the contenders were out this weekend, including one who hasn't received quite as much attention and that secretary of transportation, pete buttigieg, who went on fox where he is very comfortable. and he went on the attack. listen people think that crime is up when crime is down under joe biden, and crimo's up under donald trump. now, i don't know how often that gets reported on this network. so if you're watching this at home, do yourself a favor and look up the data. will we great so a two-part question here. >> number one, do you think there is any realistic shot for

people to judge who doesn't really bring a state necessarily with him in to the way he goes about that the attack rather than defend their what does that represent in terms of what might be a strategy for the harris campaign going forward yeah. >> well, i think there's absolutely a possibility for secretary pete because here's the thing about the vp conversation. >> everybody wants to game out the x's and o's of, you know, who can bring what state and what constituents and obviously the political calculation is part of the discussion. of course it is but ultimately the choice is going to be who is the person that vp harris feels? has the best connection with trusts would be would have as a governing partner, would have as reliable campaign partner, somebody is going to be able to go out and make the case in an effective and reliable way. which secretary pete obviously can sometimes i think that the kind of calculation around who is the best electorate, who adds the most electoral benefit is a

little overplayed relative to what's actually happening inside the campaign. in terms of discussions about who should be picked. so i think people should remember that and for that reason, obviously, vp harris has worked with secretary buttigieg in the administration and of course, as we've all seen many times and just saw yesterday, he's a terrific communicator in terms of his response there. i mean, it was it was textbook. it was excellent. he one thing that he's so great at is, he's always level-headed. he's always he's calm. he goes back on offense without seeming like he's flustered. and i think that is absolutely what vice president harris is going to do over the course of this next three-and-a-half months, taking it to trump, she has all the reason in the world to be on the offensive and to be aggressive. we've seen her campaign kind of put this race it's in the freedom versus wanted to take away your freedoms frame, which i think is terrific and resonates with people. and so i think she has every opportunity to be to be aggressive over this next three-and-a-half months in

arena. >> we just had that graphic of the six possible vp picks up there. it's got to be so tempting. and when you put it back up again, if you're in the harris campaign looking at that being gees josh shapiro, pennsylvania. pennsylvania is so important. mark kelly, arizona. arizona is so important. >> and then to a lesser extent, cooper, north carolina, and then tim waltz. >> but, but that shapiro and kelly thing, i mean, could you resist? just the temptation of picking people who may be very good on paper, but also come from a key state well, look at history. >> the vp pig doesn't need to come from a swing state or a state that's in play are important for the vp pick to be successful for the ticket to be successful, look at polling paul ryan when he joined mitt romney, paul ryan of wisconsin, look at tim kaine when he joined hillary clinton, but from virginia. i'm just saying it doesn't need to be from this all-important state to be successful. and history tells us that, but as a practical

matter, look, i would've loved and all woman to get it does need to be somebody who is not just a male and i don't even know that it needs to be a white male, but somebody has got this broader appeal. shapiro's definitely turn some republican heads. you see a lot of center right types. they'd, this is a governor. i actually like. and then for kelley, of course, i mean, we can't discount the fact that he's well liked in arizona, the sunbelt is a place the democrats need to do better in. so when we look at the numbers, the veepstakes gets a little me, a little sort of how can i put it boring? i think minnesota is exciting because republicans in minnesota, i've known have always been very independently minded very purple in way. and i think there was turning a lot of heads with gen z and millennials speaks in a practical manner. he's somebody that looks like maybe he might be one thing, but then you peel back the cover and you get a whole lot of what you may like. and i'm talking about

you meaning independent voters, center, right? people who could come and join that democratic coalition and help out like they did in 2020. >> man, you've never been a political reporter, if you think the veepstakes is boring, i've spent decades of my life digging in reporting on this and you're suggesting it's all for not but be that as it may in terms of because i would have liked a woman you got it i got like the woman. >> let's talk about about vice president nominee is here and i will say one thing that paul ryan and tim kaine both have in common, they lost. so maybe you do you do want to go for a state there? i want to talk about senator j.d. vance because the democrats in his bid of oppo, that's had legs uncovered this interview from 2021, where he talked about then said or i guess he was vice president kamala harris and others as being childless cat ladies, and maybe look at things differently because they don't have children. will vance last night, kate tried to clean that up a little bit on tv. listen to what he said i do think that being unprepared parent actually has a profound

effect on somebody's perspective. and we should honor and respect that. but there are a whole host of people who don't have children for a whole host of reasons. and they certainly are great people who can participate fully in the life of this country. and that's not what i said, trey, if you look at what the left is done, they ever radically taken this out of context, and in fact aggressively lied about what i've said there is the old adage. >> if you're explaining, you're losing kate, but i guess my question is, does this have legs beyond this going forward? >> his position on this? yeah. >> this issue, this whole thing yeah. i think it absolutely does for a few reasons. first of all, he this is now i think his second or maybe even third, but we'll charitably say his second effort to clean this up. i mean, the first time he essentially doubled down on what he had said about women and apologized to the cat's that he had insulted in the original clip. so voters have seen over the last, now almost week, they've seen him doubled down on this and really embrace

it so tough to now come out and say, oh, well, that wasn't really what i meant. but even in some ways, even more importantly, i think it will continue to have legs because it reinforces a broader problem that the republican ticket has in being anti woman, there position on choice, the fact that they believe that they should insert themselves in between women and their doctors and making health care decisions. the fact that there supportive of restricting birth control ivf. i mean, they have a problem with women in this race, particularly suburban moderate women who have supported democrats in the wake of the dobbs decision. i think everything that j.d. vance does that continues to remind people how much the republican ticket rejects the ai and you that men should be able to live their lives the way they want to live them is going to be a problem for them absolutely. >> kate bedingfield, rina shah. thanks to both you. great discussion this morning, really

prostate i'm derek van dam inside the paris olympic village. >> and this is cnn this morning. there's new hope for the early detection of dementia. a new study shows a blood test for alzheimer's disease outperforms doctors and diagnosing cognitive decline. our chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta, has the details on what the results actually show there have been so many exciting developments when it comes to the world of alzheimer's. and this is a, another one. >> we're talking about a two-part blood test here to give you an idea of how much

amyloid you'd likely have in your brain. >> it's an amyloid probability score now i want to, this is not an alzheimer as test per say, you can't take the blood test and say you that have all timers or you don't, but it can provide a lot of information for people, especially those who are worried, could the memory loss their experiencing actually be due to alzheimer's? so specifically, we're again, we're talking about two specific blood test here. one it's called p tau to 17. that's measuring for tau protein something known as beta-amyloid 42. that's another biomarker of alzheimer's disease. now again, these are blood tests in the past you had clinical exam where you had your doctor's sort of examining you and trying to determine what your risk you're probability of alzheimer's disease was and and or you could do a lumbar puncture. where they're actually taking fluid from your spine, from your cerebral spinal fluid and examining that, that's a much more invasive procedure. this would be a blood test specifically, i

actually had this done recently as part of a documentary that i was working on. and you can see it's i mean, it's a blood test. there's nothing more to it they take those samples, they send them off and you get these results back. the real question i think in part of the reason there's so much enthusiasm is how predictive is it really, and how predictive is it against what is typically out there? and what you'll find is that the act you're seeing determining if memory loss is likely due to alzheimer's disease with this blood test around 90%. compare that to neurologist memory specialists, around 73% primary care doctors, around 61% so again, i want to be clear. this is an amyloid probability score. it's not an all-timer as tests per say, saying either you have it or you don't. but it's another tool that doctors are likely to start using as part of a more complete evaluation. there's also these new medications out there with these new blood tests, you might be able to follow along how well those medications are

working, take the medication, did the amyloid scores start to improve as a result of that? you can do that in conjunction with actually looking at someone's real life functioning. again, these are exciting days when it comes to alzheimer's disease. a lot of progress being made and the idea of having a blood biomarker for the brain. that's another step toward, towards all those advances that's amazing. >> all right, that was our dr. sanjay gupta. thank you to him, john. >> all right. brand new this morning, nicholas maduro is claiming victory in his reelection campaign in venezuela though the opposition leader rejects this us secretary state anthony blinken also has expressed serious concerns over the election claims, stating that the international community judy is watching this very closely and we'll respond accordingly this morning firefighters and northern california are battling the country's largest active wildfire. the park fire, as it's called, as burned. more than 360,000 acres. evacuation orders are warnings are in place for four counties

and the man suspected of starting this fire is scheduled to appear in court today. us officials say mexico is quote, totally following the arrests of cartel leaders, ismael el mayo zambada and joaquin guzman lopez, us officials say they did not tell mexico about the operation beforehand, worried that it might be leaked the details were also kept secret within the u.s. government until the arrest happens in both his lawyer claims that he was kidnapped and did not surrender or negotiate with the u.s. government. sara thank you, john, for the first time the local swat team assigned to protect donald trump, the day of the assassination attempt is speaking out and details reportedly show a lack of communication among the multiple agencies involved. >> take a listen was this a failure of communication i believe so in a lot of respects in multiple agencies working together is always taxing no matter what the problem.

>> i know that we could not communicate with secret service more pennsylvania state police really an effort the patrol directly former secret service agent and cnn law enforcement analyst, jonathan wackrow joins me now. >> and that was quite a stark thing to say that the communication, they didn't have an easy way to do that. how does this normally work? >> well, good morning, sara. and yes, this you to hear this directly, not through testimony, but directly from individuals that were on-site is quite shocking and it is not the norm. the norm is to have interoperable communication between local law enforcement entities. whether that is the local swat team, state police, and the secret service, you want a unified structure around communications setup so that the moment that a suspicious individual or a threat is identified, that there's a unified approach on who is

going to engage with that individual and then should it be necessary? very coordinate the response to a specific threat. what we saw here was multiple failures of communication and then on top of that, when there was communication, that the messages that were passed were not actioned off of quickly enough. again, pointing to the tragic consequences that caused yeah. >> and we should again and again note that a man was killed a father, a firefighter. he was killed during this two others were gravely injured. we understand one of the two has been finally been able to come out of the hospital, but they have lifelong they're going to have lifelong problems because of the shooting. i do want to take a look at some of the text messages we're getting to see for ourselves what the communication was sort of like with the local agencies and this is one of the text messages that has been shared with the new york times. and in it, there is a tech saying, look, there's a kid leaning

around the building. we're in and i did see him with a rangefinder looking toward stage fyi, if you want to notify this ss which a secret service snipers to look out oh, i lost sight of him. so these text messages are going between each other. but the secret service clearly not on the chain. and certainly, i guess there would be a big lag between the time in which you're texting each other and the time in which the secret service found out about it again, this just points to the lack of structure and rigor around the communications that needs to be put forward for a large scale security events. >> when you have siloed communication like that. so good for the local law enforcement. they picked up immediately that there were suspicious activity that this individual has behavior was anomalous, you having a rangefinder again, all things that are warning signs that need immediate interdiction, they need to immediately

confronted this individual and conducted fiel
