chews.va.gov i didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black. so i don't know. is she indian or she black we have seen a lot of celebrities that have been endorsing in speaking out well, what the fields are what do you say to that? maybe people we are not going back this is how you make an entrance we tried to do the best that never give it. like like olympic games live from london this is cnn newsroom with max foster and christina mcfarlane hello, a warm welcome to obvious johnny's from the u.s and all around the world. >> i, max foster and i'm

christina mcfarlane. it's thursday, august 1st, 9:00 a.m. here in london and 3am in chicago, where donald trump made more racially charged an outright false attacks. again, it's vice president kamala harris she was always of indian heritage and she was only promoting indian heritage. >> i didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black but how's compile campaign immediately responded saying, today's tirade is simply a taste of the chaos and division that's been a hallmark of trump's maga rallies this entire campaign, potential vice presidential pick senator mark kelly spoke out this is the reaction of a desperate and scared old man. he's afraid. he's probably afraid to debater certainly afraid to the lose an election to her and november meanwhile, trump's teams as former president was successful in his goal to bring americans

together, saying quote president trump has continually said that unlike kamala harris and joe biden, he's running to be precedent for all americans. >> and if you're running to your night the entire country, you have to back in that with action like president trump did today. >> to be clear, kamala harris has always identified as black. she has always talked about being both indian and black. this is what she said. back in 2019 i'm black and i'm proud of being black. and i was born black. i will die black. and i'm proud of being black, and i'm not going to make any excuses for anybody because they don't understand well, it's not the first time the former president has made similar attacks against his political opponents. sarah side now walks us through his highly combative interview donald trump's appearance of the national association of black journalists convention, turning contentious right from the beginning getting a look. if i came onto a stage like this and i got treated so rudely, is

this woman. >> how am i going goodness and i'm fine with it because she doesn't she was very rude, sir. >> very rude as the former president attempts to broaden his appeal with black voters speaking to a room full of black journalist in chicago, trump invoking kamala harris is race falsely questioning the vice president's black heritage? i didn't know she was black until the number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black. so i don't know if she indian or she blast. >> he is always a black eye college respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because he was indian all the way and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went she became a black with running mate j.d. >> vance, drawing scrutiny for past comments he made about childless women. trump was asked about his decision to pick the ohio senator and whether he would be ready to serve on day one. >> but you're not voting that way. you voting for the president. you're voting for

me. if you're like me, i'm going to win. if you don't like me, i'm not going to win on policy trump focusing his attacks on inflation and the biden administration's handling of the economy, a top concern for all voters. >> what do i do that? and i drill let me drill. i bring energy way down, i bring interest rates down, i bring inflation way down, so people can buy bacon again, so people can buy a ham sandwich again, so that people can go to a restaurant and afford it. because right now, people can't buy food the former president was also asked about his pledge to pardon writers involved with the january 6th attack on the u.s. >> capital, if they're innocent, i would pardon them. >> they've been convicted by the way, the supreme court just under well they were convicted by a very, very tough system. and in a case that is touched the black community deeply, and illinois mother shot and killed in her own home earlier this month by a sheriff's deputy after calling 911 for help? trump's saying he was unfamiliar with the specifics

of the case. >> i don't know the exact case, but i saw something and it didn't love it didn't look good to me. it didn't look good to me. >> so why should he receives immunity? >> well, he might not. i mean, it depends it depends on what happens. i'm talking about people that are a much different cases isn't that we need people to protect ourselves, sarah side or cnn, chicago, paint event that's an historically black sorority, vice president, common a howard's to spawn this is trump's attacks as the same old show, bringing hostility, anger, and division to the american people. >> sin ends on its signs, has the details vice president kamala harris forcefully pushed back against former president donald trump's appearance at the nab j convention in chicago portraying his moments on stage as divisive and disrespectful. >> it comes after trump had baseless the question harris's heritage and identity as a black woman. harris said, the american people deserve better. take a listen.

>> the american people deserve a leader who tells the truth a leader who does not respond with hostility and anger when confronted with the facts we deserve a leader who understands there are differences do not divide us they are an essential source of our strengths harris's husband's second gentlemen, doug, i'm hoff also forcefully pushed back on trump, according to the washington post he appeared at a fundraiser in maine where he directly addressed trump's, what he called insults against him and his wife, saying that trump does not deserve a second term in the white house. >> now harris was making her comments here in houston, texas at a gathering of sigma gamma rho that is a black sorority that as part of the divine nine, harris herself is also a member for of a divine nine sorority, which she joined back when she attended howard university in washington, dc. this is actually the third gathering of a divine nine

sorority. harris's breast just this month, part of the goal here is trying to mobilize black women in this election. now, the divine nine does not endorse political camp candidates, but that's vast alumni network, which includes black men and black women, women could serve as an organizing force heading into november's election against donald trump. our signs, cnn, traveling with the vice president in houston, texas max is just astounding to see. >> i think that event play out in the way it did, you know, speaking for myself. i'm actually a half indian, half scottish woman and it seems ridiculous to have to state that it is possible to be both. that's the definition of being multi-racial, of being biracial. so i'm not quite sure what donald trump is hoping to achieve. >> you want to choose, you just are like, how do you identify i mean, it's not something i think about it day to day basis is you're born into it. >> it's who you are. but to

make those comments as well to the audience that he did, the national association of black journalists i just don't know what his motivation was there. i really don't yeah, that could be interesting to be in the room and actually see the reaction from them. >> didn't seem to be good around observing three days of mourning for slain hamas political leader is smile hernia. >> thousands of people turned out from memorial service today and to run where hernia was assassinated iran and its allies are vowing retaliation against israel, which hasn't yet claimed responsibility israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu did not mention hernia in an address to the nation on wednesday, but he claimed israel delivered a crushing blow to its enemies and said he won't give in to cools to end the war in gaza hey citizens of israel, challenging days lie ahead. >> now since the strike in beirut, you sure are threats

take a listen right now. >> the path that the region is on is toward more conflict more violence, more suffering more insecurity and it is crucial that we break the cycle and that starts with a ceasefire now, those calls for a cease fire or ringing quite hollow right now, when you consider what close allies the u.s. >> lesson israel are the fact that the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu was in washington meeting with president biden, vice president harris former president then trump, and then flew directly back urgently to israel. and then these assassinations were carried out shortly after that of course israel has not yet claimed responsibility for the murder of a smile, hernia yet. >> but here in beirut also preparations for a funeral that

between israel and the u.s already strained by the ongoing war in gaza, something we were not aware of or involved in close observers of the region seen is rarely leader who now feels unencumbered by a us president i'm the whole. we're prepared for any scenario and we'll stand united and determine against any thread who's viewed in the region is a lame duck following his withdrawal from the presidential race in the near term to strike, very likely disrupts the tenuous negotiations for a cease fire and the release of the remaining hostages president biden has made completing the deal a central feature of his final months in office. more broadly in ordering assassination strikes abroad, the israeli leader is showing his willingness to risk broadening the war. a senior us official told me the biden administration views such a risk as limited you assessment is that none of the players is israel, iran, or its proxies has built and hamas truly want

a regional war on wednesday, white house senior advisor john kirby downplayed escalation fears. >> we relieve that an escalation is inevitable and there's no signs that an escalation is imminent. this is something that we've been concerned about since the seventh october. it's not like or brushing off concerns at all. we're watching this very, very close. >> however, the recent history of the region shows that neither side ever fully understands the others red lines as each side retaliates against the other in increasingly aggressive way. is the danger of escalation grows to that point today, a senior iranian official tweeted undoubtedly the israeli occupying regime will pay a heavy price, enter one final variable to the calculus benjamin netanyahu himself even some israelis questioned whether he wants to extend the fighting to delay any political reckoning for the october 7th attacks at home jonathan decal

chen's 35-year-old son was kidnapped by hamas on october 7th. he says hamas and the israeli leaders don't truly want peace and the stalling only helps netanyahu's political future. them as i could find, no legitimate reason other than to satisfy his domestic political partners to delaying any kind of progress, real progress in the weeks just after the october 7th attack, a former senior israeli intelligence official told me that hamas leaders would never be safe again, anywhere in the world and it appears that that is coming to be true if there is a potential silver lining here, there is some thinking that by taking out liters terrorists groups abroad, that netanyahu might be able to claim some sort of partial victory against the mass and therefore be able to return to the negotiating table. but right now, the tensions in the region extremely high. gym shoe toe cnn washington a long pencasts

is the format is really consul general in new york. he joins us now, live from tel aviv. thanks for, thanks for being with us. those, of course much to discuss today, but i just wanted to get your perspective first on benjamin netanyahu because we saw him give a very bellicose, confident address earlier today, warning or on the console? sequencers of any further retaliation. we know that netanyahu has been coming under a lot of pressure within domestically, within israel to respond to hezbollah. so what is the feeling? there where you are today about the events of the last few days. and as israel braces the region braces for a response from iran well okay. >> so you asked like six questions i'll try i'll try and put them in some kind of what i'm asking is how a crowd with dealing on the ground today given the head spinning events, the last few days i know i was joking, christina. >> okay. let me try and put

them into some coherent in some coherent quarter. mr. netanyahu has wanted to prolong the war from o2 over seven. that distances him from the calamity. and debacle of october 7th and portrays this is some kind of a different narrative as if this is a broad regional war. so he has a vested interest in turning it into a broad regional war in that piece of footage that you just aired from him. notice that he takes credit for attacking the who thes in western yemen for the assassination in beirut of what are the number two guy allegedly the number two guy in his butler and for israel and in terror on the last night or a 9.5 ago it is not worthy that he's not saying anything about the hostages, anything about this east fire? not a thing about a framework, a plan for the day after. nothing. all he's talking about claiming credit in this respect is the

continuation of the war. now, as for the sense on the one hand, people are happy about and it's natural and it's understandable they feel good about this. it's reversed it's vengeance, it's settling and account. that's fine. but that's not strategy. and people are beginning to ask whether or not a cost a serious deep cost-effective calculation was process, at least was done here in terms of the likelihood escalation because if it does escalate and jim shooter was absolutely right in the previous report that people only think they understand the other side's red line. people only thing they can control escalation and people only think they actually have some magical power over the spiraling dynamic that this create and so i think the next 48 hours are critical. and the iranian response, which they vowed to do, that is limited

will be tolerated and iranian response that is not limited will not be tolerated. and before you know, it this expense, so the public opinion on the assassination of these two guys in a room, air around, respectively aside people are going to change their mind if it escalates all correspond to either watson was in beirut earlier in the program saying there's an ominous lack of rockets or attacks coming from hezbollah towards israel at the moment. >> and he suggested that might be the calm before the storm, and that is combined, isn't it with this? statement from the ayatollah's calling or don't calling for a direct hit from iran into israel, which isn't going via any of the proxies. and that is upper level, isn't it? >> well, it is, but if if you recall max that was done already in april on the 13th and 14th of april, israel and

iran exchange a salvo of ballistic missiles and armed a germs 330 missiles and drones were fired from here, ron, not via proxies i'm into israel 95% or so were shot down by the way, by american british and some french forces along the way but yeah, look about the comm between bed before the storm they're enjoying this. >> i'm sorry for the bad term, enjoying, but from an iranian perspective, you have to understand two things are playing with the nerves of israelis, creating uncertainty and unpredictability is something that they think they benefit from. >> number one, number two, from a broader perspective the iranians will concede not publicly, but they will tell you, i imagine that yes, it's real had to significant even impressive tactical

achievement. >> but strategically given that israel is bogged down in a war from gaza 75,000 israelis have been evacuated from the northern border between israel and lebanon. israel is increasingly isolated in the west critically, the iranians think israel is in a bad and negative trajectory so i don't know how that factors into their calculation of how to respond. i will say one thing and i know i'm going on too long. i will say one thing. >> once you hit someone inside terror on the capital of iran the day before the day all of the inauguration of a new president. >> it exposes the iran on their abilities it exposes an intelligent failure. it is sort of humiliating to the point that they will need to respond. they feel compelled to respond somehow the extent the scope of their retaliation is obviously

what we do not know yet we appreciate you going on at l on and we appreciate your thoughts and obviously the big remaining question, all of this is where this leaves c-spine negotiations not something we've got time to discuss just now, but thanks so much for joining us all the same. >> this just into cnn, the israeli military says it's fighter jets killed hamas military chief in gaza, mohammed diff in a strike on khan eunice on july 13th. it was claimed that that day if was killed nearly three weeks after it carried out the strike. and during that time, it's very official said they had indications there strike with success it's full but we're not able to confirm until he was killed until now ahead, why some caffeine addicts are turning their backs on starbucks and what a coffee chains doing to win back customer there was the american spirit i shall not seek now i
