12:00 am
i think now we've all just it's true social. we all accepted as fact, but when it, when it first came out, i think people are very curious what did you hear about what was happening? behind the scenes? >> the originally they wanted to call it revert or something like that as a sort of shortfall virtuous that didn't quite catch on. >> like virts, something like that. trump actually came up with a name, truth, and then they sort of quickly google that to see if there was any website called true social. there wasn't. when they ran it by no. melania trump he burst out laughing and said, turn to the people that suggested and said truth. this guy, she was shocked that he would name it. yes. yes. according to my reporting, david blender it's fascinating report everyone should read it. thank you. >> thank you for joining us tonight. thank you. >> it's a much for joining us. the news continues right here
12:01 am
on cnn hello, and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world, you are watching cnn newsroom. and i'm rosemary church just ahead. >> will donald trump debate kamala harris? he says his game details just ahead. anti government protesters flooded the streets and venezuela were made over the legitimacy of the presidential election results and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu promises a severe he response to a suspected hezbollah rocket attack. as fears of a wider conflict escalate live from atlanta. this is cnn newsroom with rosemarie church thanks so much for joining us. well, we begin in united states with a clock is ticking down until the november presidential election. and the presumed face-off between kamala harris and donald trump both of their campaigns have trips to swing
12:02 am
states book to this week, the u.s. vice president his rooms will hold an event here in georgia today and has more appearances scheduled in texas later this week. trump and his running mate, j.d. vance, will make several stops, their own and the battleground states of pennsylvania arizona, and nevada, drawing an interview with fox news the former president said he would most likely end up debating vice president harris at some point. but believes he could also make the case for not doing it i want to do a debate, but i also can say this everybody knows who i am. and now people know who she is. she's a radical left lunatic. she'll destroy our country.
12:03 am
>> the trump campaign is ramping up a tax on kamila harris after being forced to pivot from plans to face president joe biden in november, cnn's a learner train, has details on those efforts with roughly a week since it became clear that kamala harris will be the one to face off with the former president in november, the trump campaign is still workshopping the best way to define her and remember, they spent an entire campaign including pouring millions of dollars into data and modeling and adds designed to go after an unpopular our 81-year-old incumbent now with less than just 100 days until the election they have to shift gears. >> now, i was out there rally in minnesota saturday night and the attacks felt a bit like trump was throwing the kitchen sink at harris, but the overarching message in the attacks from both trump and vance on the trail thus far have been to paint neuro, someone who was worse and far more radically liberal than joe biden, ripping into her time as the attorney general of california and arguing that she's just as responsible for the biden administration record
12:04 am
as joe biden himself. take a listen to some of those attacks she will be the worst president we've ever had. she will be worse thing brookie job. we've got to give some credit to our democrat friends because they were right in 2020, the american people are never going to elect a wacky out of touch san francisco liberal like kamala harris now you've also heard trump himself argue that harris has been somewhat of a map as theirs. >> they argue that much of their 2024 election strategy will mean the same and that they'll apply the same playbook that they had to go after biden on harris. that means focusing on the issues they believe trump polls better, namely immigration, crime, inflation, but privately, trump's advisors in those close to the former president acknowledged that there's still go figuring out
12:05 am
the best way to define or a task made harder by the democratic enthusiasm we've seen around her since her announcement. now, you can expect trump to continue trust driving new lines of attack in the coming weeks while his team continues to monitor what is sticking and playing well with the voters that they view as crucial to november. alaina train a cnn washington whereas it on joe biden is proposing longshot radical changes to the u.s. supreme court, including term limits for justices, ride now, justices serve for a lifetime mr. biden's plan would let a president appoint a new justice every two years for an 18 year term. he's also proposing a binding conduct, and ethics code for justices mandating they disclose gifts abstained from public political activity, and recused themselves when there's a conflict of interest. president biden says these actions are needed to protect democracy and
12:06 am
the rule of law of course, be used a weaponize and extreme and unchecked agenda this decision is a total affront to the basic expectations we have for those who wield the power in this nation that there are expected to be wholly accountable under the law joe biden is also proposing a constitutional amendment that would strip the president of immunity for crimes committed in office. >> all of this would require congressional shinola approval and republicans have already called the plan dead on arrival larry sabato is the director of the university of virginia's center for politics. he joins me now from charlottesville, virginia. appreciate you being with us thank you so much was very with 98 days to go before the country votes and us presidential elections, we have seen vice president kamala harris supercharged democratic hopes of taking the house.
12:07 am
>> can she do it and also take the presidency? how varied her paths to victory do you think? >> she actually has more paths than president biden? yeah, that's for sure. president biden had won narrow path. and the loss of even one state that he had the count on would have defeated him. and the odds were he would lose more than one state. so i think kamala harris has the northern route through the key states of pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. but she also has a southern route georgia, arizona, nevada, which enables her to trade off a bit in case she alludes loses one of those usually democratic northern blue wall states so will say she's, she's doing reasonably well and that is a big plus for democrats, they really didn't think they would be in this good a position. just a couple of weeks ago.
12:08 am
>> and today tuesday, harris is campaigning in the battleground, state of georgia. what does she need to do to win this state? what do you think it's extremely important that she do what biden did and what president obama tried to do and did succeed to a certain degree increase the level of black vote. >> and in her case, she's got to give special emphasis to black male voters in georgia. she's doing very well with black female voters in georgia and elsewhere. but it's black men. while she's carrying them, she's not carrying them by nearly the percentage that she's winning black woman and larry president joe biden is calling for three bold reforms to restore trust in the u.s. >> supreme court and american democracy speaker mike johnson says these proposals are dead on arrival how risky a reforms of this magnitude, just a few months before a critical election, or is this exactly the time to raise this?
12:09 am
>> well, i strongly support it reforms. in fact, i've proposed similar things in a book that was published in 2007. >> its way past time that we reform the judiciary, not just the ethics code, but also giving some reasonable term limit as the president suggested 18 years. >> that's a lot long time for anybody to be on the supreme court and we've had some justices serve 30 or 40 years. >> you get a little out of touch when you're behind that too big black curtain and the supreme court so he's got a great idea. >> and there are zero chance that this will actually happen there's no way to get it passed. speaker johnson has the least of the problems. some of this would require constitutional amendment and i don't think we could get a constitutional amendment passed in america that hailed the motherhood that we'd argue about what motherhood was. so we're very divided and that means we can't do the things that we once could do.
12:10 am
>> and on the other side of the political spectrum, donald trump's running mate, j.d. vance, told donors in minnesota over the weekend that kamala harris's campaign is a sucker punch according to the washington post, because she doesn't have the same baggage as joe biden. he and donald trump do appear to be struggling, don't they, with the switch to harris? at the top of the democratic ticket, why are they having so much trouble with this? do you think amazingly, they really didn't calculate that biden would actually be removed. >> they knew was a possibility but they assume that biden was stubborn, which he is, and they assumed that he would insist upon trying it's one last time for another four years in the white house and they were wrong about that. he really did yield to the popular impression within his party that he was going to lose. so he did his party a great favor, but he did disfavor to trump and advance, so they don't have an alternate plan there is no plan
12:11 am
b for them. they're working on the nasty nicknames and all the other things that trump is famous for on the fly, this should have been done in advance. it will be done and we'll be listening to it for the rest of the campaign for the 98 days to go on those on those nicknames, we've got trapped i'm calling harris a bum and more radical than biden the democrats are calling trump and vance weird. >> they keep repeating over and over. whoever is out there on the stump so how does all this name name-calling sit with voters, particularly independents to thing? >> what have turned them off prior to the coming of donald trump beginning in 2015 for the 2016 campaign, he made this the norm. >> so what's good for the goose is good for the gander. >> both sides are going to do it though. i doubt that the democrats get around a calling. donald trump, some of the names that he's used already for
12:12 am
kamala harris, including just pure evil. he says she was pure evil well, okay. yes. we'll see we'll continue to watch and listen. of course larry sabato, many thanks for joining us. appreciate it thank you very much, rosa in venezuela, protesters are voicing their anger after nicholas maduro is declared the winner of a presidential race. that's been marred by accusations of election fraud and disputed by the opposition. large crowds hit the streets in several cities, blocking roads and even toppling a statue of the late leader over chavez maduro responded monday night saying the government knows how to quote, defeat those who are violent demonstrators have denounced the election results, which would see maduro hate to a third term as president the us and regional leaders are also raising questions about the validity of the results and calling for election data to be
12:13 am
released. maduro had this to say after the vote almost like, how do you call this democracy constitution, terrorism we have told the militants of the united socialist party of venezuela not to fall for provocations because their goal is by assaulted in the headquarters to clash and have well, bloodshed now it's clear what i was saying that i have avoided a bloodshed in venezuela venezuela's opposition says its own candidate edmundo gonzalez, is the actual winner. >> opposition leaders claimed they have gathered enough tally sheets to prove it today, we have great news to share with all venezuelans. it's a miracle. it's a miracle. today. i want to tell all venezuelans, both inside and outside the country. all believers in democracy around the world that we now have the means to prove truth of what happened yesterday in venezuela journalist stefano pozzebon is
12:14 am
following developments from caracas protests have erupted in the city center of caracas less than 24 hours after the government control electoral authority proclaim the class maduro the winner of last sunday's presidential election and election, which results it's the results where disputed by many countries in the region. >> and as you can see those results have triggered widespread anger in the city of caracas nobody has called for these protests to be organized. the opposition leadership is yet to make a statement in reaction to that announcement by the electoral authorities. but these people have taken to the streets by themselves about 50 meter from where i am. you can see the here gaza for at the bottom rod of these avenue, because there are intense clashes with the forces offer
12:15 am
the government security forces of nicholas maduro, you can see there a semi armorer's vehicle. i can see that from the bottom people around me are shouting on a microphone that they want freedom and that they want leave the streets until nicolas maduro is ousted. >> oppose upon reporting from caracas julie took a widths is the new york times andes bureau chief covering venezuela and other countries in south america. she joins me now from bogota in colombia, a pleasure to have you with us thanks so much. >> nicholas maduro has formally declared victory in the wake of venezuela's election, but the opposition coalition rejects his wins, saying there records show their candidate edmundo gonzalez received 70% of the vote compared to maduro's 30% what's been the reaction inside? the, outside of the country to that sure. >> there was a lot of energy
12:16 am
behind it. and the gonzalez and maria corina machado, who is the opposition leader, who is backing him and so when the results came in very late last night, early morning, monday there was a lot of frustration, a lot of voter frustration, a lot of anger, a lot of people who wanted to see the government produce some kind of receipts, produce evidence that it had, in fact, won in the way that it claims it has which it has not which it has not done. >> and what we're seeing today is a lot of protests inside inkatha gas in the capital, as well as other parts of the country. and what about outside of the country, what has been the reaction? what's being said? >> sure. >> you have the u.s. and other countries, colombia, brazil, who have asked the venezuelan
12:17 am
government to again produce his ties to show that it in fact has won an election. again i think it's pretty common to hear from the us some concern about lack of a democratic norms inside of venezuela. >> but i think what is more notable is sort of voices like lula in brazil, the president and bedroll the president of columbia their governments also saying hey, you should produce these results. >> and how likely is it that we will see a mass exodus from venezuela if maduro remains in power. >> and how could that impact the migrant situation in colombia, peru, the u.s. >> and elsewhere. of course sure. >> and what we at the new york times had done a lot of reporting about venezuela migration towards the united states. >> what several polls show inside venezuela ahead of the
12:18 am
election was that there was high interest in leaving the country of modo decided to stay in power our and so what i think a lot of people instead of venezuela are doing right now is making calculations. >> are they going to stay, are they going to go those polls showed as high as 30% of the country was interested in leaving. >> if mulroy says in power. >> and so i think we're really just watching and waiting to see in if that happens and you'll see people go to neighboring colombia some people that have presale and you'll see some people go further. united states. >> and if that happens, what does the future hold for venezuela's economy? >> well, right now, one of the big questions is whether the u.s. will impose more sanctions it's following this election announcement and the other thing to think about is the fact that with so many people gone from the country, you've seen this enormous brain drain and so the, the doctors, the teachers, the nurses, the engineers, the architects, they
12:19 am
have left, which makes it really hard to rebuild a country and would you ever expect people in venezuela to rise up against maduro would be any appetite for that. there have been protests just one day after the election, we'll see if those protests become significant, if they become large. if the opposition leaders and will gonzalez and maria corina machado call people to the streets. i think that there's a lot of war-readiness to protest right now. people have protested in the past and hundreds of people who have been killed inside the country during these protests as sort of security forces cracked down there's a lot of fear and i think the big question the country right now is the outpouring of emotion and anger and frustration over this electoral announcement going to manifest itself in the streets of venezuela, or is it going to men, or is it going to
12:20 am
manifest itself in an, in a mass migration, in another mass migration your sense is the maduro will remain in power for the foreseeable future. >> i think it really depends on what happens in the next couple look days. i think that that i the most likely outcome he's been in power for many years at ten years is party has in power for 25 years. >> he has very, very, very little incentive to leave power. i think this election results shows them at and so barring some change in the story line, barring huge protests or something else. >> i think that we should expect that he is going to stay in power but you never know what the jury took a woods. >> thank you so much for joining us. appreciate it thank you israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is vowing a severe response to the deadly
12:21 am
attack and the israeli-occupied golan heights over the weekend, israel has blamed the lebanese militant group his hezbollah for the strike the warning came as netanyahu visited the site of the attack on monday, israel's defense minister yoav gallant, also spoke with his us counterpart, defense secretary lloyd austin on monday and pledged to hold hezbollah responsible for saturday's rocket attack, which killed 12 children injured more than 40 people. hezbollah has denied responsibility. meantime, iran's newly elected president is warning israel that any attack on lebanon could backfire and have severe consequences for more. we want to go to cnn's paula hancocks who joins us live i've from abu dhabi. good to see you again, paula so what is the latest on this and how likely is it that we will see a wider conflict in the region in the days ahead.
12:22 am
>> well, rosemary, it's been a concern for months that this conflict could expand and those fears have really intensified since that deadly rocket attack on saturday. now, what we know at this point is that the emergency security cabinet in israel has given the prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his defense minister yoav gallant the decision to decide on the nature and the timing of the response to this deadly attack. we don't know what shape or form that will take at this point. we have heard from netanyahu himself that's saying that it will be a severe attack, and we've also heard that, as you say, the defense minister has spoken to his us counterpart discussing this. and also, we understand outlying is really evidence that hezbollah was behind the attack. hezbollah itself has denied responsibility. let's first hear from the israeli prime minister stuff. >> his butler hezbollah backed
12:23 am
by iran fired an iranian missile that took the lives of 12 pure souls, 12 children that were playing soccer here. and unfortunately couldn't make it to the bomb shelter. our heart is torn by the heavy disaster we embraced the families that are going through and indescribable suffering. these are our children the children of all of us, and the state of israel will not and cannot ignore this. our response will come and it will be harsh now the u.s. has backed israel's assessment at this point, the white house saying that israel has the right to respond. we've also heard from the biden administration that they are and leaving and hoping that there's still space and time to try and hammer out a diplomatic solution to this situation. we also heard on monday from the national security council. communications director john kirby look, israel has every
12:24 am
right to respond it has blow that started firing on his real way back in october. and i think we need to keep that in mind, but nobody wants a broader war and i'm confident that we'll be able to avoid such an outcome. >> so the key question is what will that response be? we've heard from lebanon's acting foreign minister speaking to cnn saying that he has been given assurances from third party countries that the response would be limited, hinting that france and the united states were two of those countries. the way that the lebanese government is interpreting this at this point, as we understand it is that that means potentially the beirut airport will not be hit. southern lebanon or hezbollah stronghold would not be hit. so the key is what this response would look like. but we have already heard many countries urging their citizens to leave lebanon. the united states, european countries have been
12:25 am
saying this over the last day or two we've heard from the u.s. side, for example, that if us citizens decide to stay in the country, then if the situation deteriorates, so they may have to to be prepared to shelter in place. they haven't yet though, said that they are going to start evacuating citizens and they also say that when it comes to the u.s. embassy, the staffing and the security status is unchanged at this point, but we have been hearing a number of other european countries really from last month urging its city dozens to move out of lebanon if possible, saying that the situation could deteriorate very quickly and the concerns are, as we saw back in 2006, with that war with israel, the airport's that was hit very early on making travel out of the country almost impossible. >> rosemary, paula hancocks in abu dhabi. many thanks for that live report. >> israeli authorities say two military compounds were
12:26 am
breached on monday by right-wing protesters angry over an investigation into nearly a dozen idf soldiers accused of abusing a hamas prisoner. >> israeli civilians, as well as far-right members of parliament were among the protesters arguing that the soldiers were being treated like criminals. the protesters were eventually dispersed and prime minister benjamin netanyahu and members of his cabinet has since denounced the break-ins at those facilities. coming up a horrifying knife attack on children in a dance class in northern england will not it won't be hard to find someone to fix this. but before i started, angie's list, different story. a lot has changed for us to dng since then, but the issues facing homeowner, the same and the solution to skilled local prose gets started at ang.com

12:32 am
connects to a couple of remote indian villages has completely collapsed making the just that much more difficult to actually get access to these villages and meeting those families are occurring certainly stranded and they can't get any access to aid or help. electricity is also down. so they physically cannot call for any help. i want you to take a look at this video, rosemary, that shows just the extent of devastation near that crucial collapsed bridge. take a look just really, really horrifying footage there. rosemary, we also know that some of these roads that lead to these remote indian villages have either completely collapsed or been destroyed due to fallen debris and fallen trees making it again, just that much more difficult to get access to those remaining survivors now, members of the army and other urgency you healthcare services
12:33 am
and workers have been deployed to why a nod to try to rescue those remaining survivors, they're also using a couple of helicopters in an attempt to air lift some of those survivors. but because the weather continues to be very bad in this part of india, some of those helicopters have just not been able to fly and they can't again, get access to those survivors. now, one thing i also do want to know is that it's currently monsoon season in india right now. it lasts until about september. and in hilly places like why a not, where they're particularly prone to landslides this of course, can be very fatal and you see that sort of devastation. but for the entire country, for india as a whole, oh, that just means they're going to have to contend with several more weeks are very extreme and very fatal, devastating weather. >> rosemary, i'd hanako montgomery joining us live from tokyo with that report. >> appreciate it. >> in northern england, a teenager has been arrested by police after two children were killed and nine wounded in a knife attack at a taylor

12:35 am
