9:00 pm
you are looking forward to a debate between harris and trump absolutely. >> i see shadows. i think everyone's hands went up right there and i got to tell you last time the hands were a little bit slower. want to ask you is there must be some new energy and all of this. thank you. all geneina in felicia, jenna, great to see you all and meet you each where you are. thank you so much thank you for watching anderson cooper 360 is next tonight on 360, kamala harris makes history as her party's presumptive nominee and gets ready to make more history by picking her running mate also tonight after supreme court detour the election interference case against donald trump is now back in front of judge tanya chutkin look at how quickly she could move and how the case made he changed to please the high court later, our gary tuchman and appalachia talking with people who know j.d. >> vance, not just as donald
9:01 pm
trump's running mate, but also as the kid next door. good evening, everyone. john king in washington tonight in for anderson tonight. just 12 days since president biden decided not to seek a second term, his vice president is now in all but title. the democratic nominee for president today, kamala harris went over the top in virtual balloting, securing enough support from democratic delegates to win her party's nomination. he shouldn't, meaning when democrats convene later this month in chicago, she will become the first black woman and first asian american. yes, both to lead a major presidential party ticket we are excited about the future, but we also know that we've got a lot of work to get there and we have a lot of work to do. it's good work. we like hard work i am honored to be the presumptive democratic nominee for president of the united states. >> president biden. meantime, marking the occasion on social media posting this one of the best decisions i've made was picking kamala harris as my vice president. now that she will be our party's nominee, i
9:02 pm
couldn't be prouder now, a big consequential weekend for harris, settling on a running mate, a source familiar with the vetting process tells us she will interview the six top five fellas you see right there with pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, arizona senator mark kelly and minnesota governor tim walz, described to me as the top recommendations from her team, the official rollout next tuesday in philadelphia some see that as a clue. others just stay smart battleground state for the first stop we'll know soon the campaign today, also announcing it had raised $310 million last month compared to 138 million for the trump campaign. that is proof, real proof of new democratic optimism, but also some worrying news today on a different money front. stocks plummeting following an emic jobs numbers pulling the economy he is just what the federal reserve wants right now to tame inflation. but for harris, talk of a slowdown may
9:03 pm
not be helpful as voters think about issue number one, the economy and consider whether they think harris or donald trump would do a better job on it perspective now, from trump 2016 campaign official bryan lanza, 2016, hillary clinton campaign manager robbie mooc democratic strategist, maria cardona, and tolu olorunnipa, white house bureau chief for the washington post. robert, you've been through this. she has the book as they call it, eric holder, the former attorney general, led the vip, led to the vetting process. she has the book. now, she has to go through staff questions first, interviews this weekend, you've been through it. what what do you think should be criteria number one, this person can get me a swing state. we think or where i'm comfortable with this person. i like this person. i'm relaxed around this person. let's go. >> you know, it was really surprising to me when we were setting this up for hillary i talked to a lot of people. how do you go about doing this? and there were three criteria. there in this order. it was do-no-harm do they bring something? but then the number one most important thing, do you get along with them? do you
9:04 pm
think they'd be a good president? is this someone who you could see as a partner? so that's why i actually think these interviews are important and that chemistry is really essential so they could be well going going into this weekend, not actually knowing yet who it is. it's maybe down to one or two. and that chemistry is probably the final step and that's it. >> that's an interesting and a very important point because the staff might have recommendations, the candidate, this is her first big executive decision as the democratic nominee so i was just in arizona, lot of democrats say, please, please pick the astronaut, picked senator kelly last week i was in pennsylvania. >> pick governor shapiro, please pick out or shapiro. so you'll hear from the activists. you'll look through the polling again first, you have to decide what's your criteria before you get to who's my candidate? >> yeah, that's exactly right. and i think the good thing is is that vice president harris has a plethora of riches tissues from i think every one of these candidates we'll come into this job ready to do it on day one, right? god forbid, anything happened. i think that is also a very important criteria.
9:05 pm
>> but to robbie's point, i think this is critical because i don't think this is something that we talk about enough and i'm sure you talked about it a lot with hillary this is a dynamic that has never been seen before unfortunately, it didn't happen, right for hillary, so we still have yet to see a woman as president and a male vice president. >> and i think there's even more of an overlay with the first black woman president. and the first vice president who is going to be a white man. a lot of dynamics there. so even more so, it's going to be critical for per, to feel at her core, at a gut level at which instinct and within two wishing not just who can i get along with, but who is going to back me up even if they might not agree with where i'm going to lose its a fascinating question, because what do we know about how she thinks on this? this was not an issue, this was not question until 12 days ago. it was not who would kamala harris pick because we
9:06 pm
thought she was the running mate for joe biden. what do we know about how she thinks about this? what do we know anything? >> well, she knows the job just out as well as anyone else because she's doing the job. she knows what it means to be vice president xi knows the importance of chemistry. she's also looking at the electoral map and that's an important thing when you have a section that is only 100 days long, you have to really be focused on how do you actually win this race. and so she's looking at the poll numbers just like everyone else. she noted as she has said, that democrats right now are underdogs and so she is thinking about who will help me with the electoral map. ball will also thinking about who will actually be able to do this job. she does have relationships with some of the people that she's going to be interviewing, but some of them she doesn't know as well as people like pete buttigieg, who she's worked with. josh shapiro happens to be another attorney general, someone who has had a similar job, another lawyer. and so she has relationships with some of these people and some of them she's going to be talking to in-depth in this context for the first time. and so she's going to be trying to think about how she can actually find someone who can do the job
9:07 pm
while finding someone that she can work with his base standby for just one second. i'll go first over to the white house. cnn's kayla tausche is there for us kayla, big decision for the vice president, but also first calculation is a camp as a candidate, right? today's underwhelming think jobs report. there's been good momentum for the democrats since this switch was announced. i was just on the road and i'm telling you the energy for democrats is real, however, you get an underwhelming jobs report you know, that's issue number one, you know, donald trump right now as an advantage when voters are asked who do you trust more on the economy? how does she, how do they handle that john the biden administration? >> his message for years has been that the jobs market is one of the bright spots in the economy and they believe that it's the indicator that the economy is strong, but that message, of course course is undercut with the data that we've seen today. and so vice president harris has been refining her own message on the economy this week at a rally in atlanta, she expressed her sympathy with people who are frustrated with the cost of living, saying, i get it. and in the coming days and weeks, we're expecting her to refine
9:08 pm
her policy proposals as well. people who know her views very closely, say that she's particularly interested in policies that benefit working families, small businesses, and underserved communities around the country but john, the question is, depending on the path of the economy between now and november, and how much it cools she could find herself playing much more defense than offense that's there big decision. first and then we'll see what she thinks about an economic uses. we go kayla tausche at the white house. thanks so much back to our panel and the conversation. so we don't even know if will be a vice presidential debate. we're not certain they'll even be another presidential debate. we had biden trump. will we get harris we don't know, but listen here, brian, just today, j.d. vance, who we know is the republican vice presidential candidate, trading insults with the pennsylvania governor josh shapiro who just might be because a lot of talk is going to be this guy, josh shapiro from pennsylvania, who i've seen this a couple of clips of him talking. >> he talks like barack obama. it's like it's like if i did try to do a really bad impression of brock obama, i
9:09 pm
don't know barack obama was probably our most gifted order of my time side it's kind of a weird insults look i'll say this about j.d. >> vance it is real hard being honest with the american people when you're not being honest with yourself j.d. vance is a total phony baloney. he is the most inorganic candidate. i think i have ever seen on the national stage so we see bryan number one, these democratic prospects, they're auditioning every time they get a chance they're out in public, they do it do you take vance talking about your pair is some evidence. they think it will be him listen, i think from our standpoint, we sort of look at the one is that that would be probably the most disruptive, especially from the progressive base of the democratic party. >> there clearly made a decision that is israel is not where they want to be there. there confrontation over the party within israel and so the governor of pennsylvania been a
9:10 pm
jewish, the first jewish, one of the first jewish voters, even in this to realm next to liebermann, several years ago it's going to cause rift and we want to sort of highlight the rift. i mean, for the last 1012 days, there's sort of been rift within the republican party is the nomination has changed over to camila, but now this is an important decision and it's a tough decision for her. does she alienate her base to have the broader appeal to the general public? or does she go a base person to try to sort of appease the anger there and hope that they they hold their fire. i don't think they will because i think the progressive base of the democratic party's completely radicalized against israel. and that's a tough choice for her to make. >> it is a tough choice. so again, take us inside the room and what we know about vice president harris and what we know from past experience, you can run from the polls, you can read data that says our base is really angry over israel, palestine. so let's not pick a strong supporter of israel that's not risk picking a candidate who is jewish or you can run at the polls and say, we're going to pick up her shapiro because we like and we think it's dynamic or kamala harris is viewed as more liberal than joe biden. so you can't take the more
9:11 pm
progressive tim walz because of some of the things that you can run away from that or you can run at it and say, yeah, as he says, yeah, kids are getting free lunches, kids are more healthy. women are getting more choices in their health care. oh, i'm terrible. what do you do? >> well, first and foremost, i think this is why the most important part of the decision is that kevin mystery is this person. they're going to be a heartbeat away from the president. are they ready for this josh shapiro, i think is really special because pennsylvania is must-win. i think i think it's fair to say whoever wins pennsylvania is going to win this election he won, i believe by 20 points in his last selection. if you can get one extra point in pennsylvania out of this, that could absolutely be the margin of error. it's been so close in both 16 and 20, i think in general, we exaggerate how important these he's pixar. i think i don't think it's going to make a tremendous difference, but gosh, when he if he won pennsylvania by that much, the idea that he could deliver a little it's not trivial it's a powerful argument in the room which he's making the decision to
9:12 pm
lose a lot of momentum since this switch, the fundraising and the grassroots enthusiasm you see again, i was just on the ground in arizona. >> you see it, however however, if you look at the data trump is still leading. trump's still has more paths to 270. then harris does. she has to repair biden's cracks with black voters, especially black men, with latino voters, in places like nevada, with younger voters, with does she get the same numbers he gets with seniors? does that factor into the pick or is this i'm the candidate. i have to do most of them this is something else. >> i think she's thinking of herself as the person that people are going to be voting for pennsylvania, arizona. those are states that she's thinking that maybe a vice presidential pick can help her maybe not on a national stage, maybe not in georgia, maybe not in north carolina, but specifically in those states where she's looking at people who are leaving those states who are very popular in those states, that could potentially help her. but i think most of what she's looking at is that chemistry is someone who she could work with over the course of for years because she knows the job she's in the job in the
9:13 pm
current moment and she knows that it's not a trivial job. a lot of times when the president is not able to do something, they call on the vice president to travel the world meet with world leaders to negotiate with congress. and so she needs someone that not only has that executive experience, but someone who she can work with and she can trust as maria was saying, someone who's going to be a number to a loyal number two now someone is going to be looking over her shoulder, looking towards their own future. and so that's the important part of that chemistry. in addition to the electoral map, in addition to the polls as well campaign, if you think i'm wrong, but there's no evidence in the data an academic that makes have looked at this, that this really matters that much that people vote in the end based on who you picked as vice president, may be lbj for jack kennedy back in 1960. however, so much time, so much effort goes into it including the rollout. veterans of this process called the prize patrol, a couple of advanced people, a communications person, the secret service gets looped into the end. the price patrol shows up and knock on the door, say, hey, you're but the sweepstakes winter why, why does so much effort go into it if in the end it might not matter that much. i think for her this matters because of the
9:14 pm
timing of when all of this is happening, right? >> i mean, right now, kamala harris has caught lightning in a bottle and she has to find a way to continue that lightning in a bottle for what is it 95 more days i think it's absolutely possible because you're right. the excitement out there is palpable well, it is not going away if anything, it is growing day by day i think that this vice presidential pick is yet another way to excite the party. and frankly not just the base, you have a lot of independence who cannot stomach another four years of donald trump. but also we're not excited about voting for joe biden. they are excited about voting for a kamala harris. and i think this additional pig, this additional way that she's going to announce it is yet another way to continue that excitement. continue that lightning in a bottle and just to emphasize that time is the most precious resource on a campaign. we've got a week between now and the convention that might just be dead-time by announcing this next week, she
9:15 pm
gets a whole week of free coverage and good coverage. i'm saying to continue that momentum through the end of the convention and people seem that great time and people see them. >> the team as they go who out to all these consequential battleground states, does the price patrol bring confetti? >> or balloons we find out on tuesday, everybody. thanks up. next brand new reporting and just how the 2020 election interference criminal case against the former president could proceed now, and how quickly now that it's back in the hands of the trial judge. and later in an ongoing series, the 50 he 3%, how women voters in battleground georgia see the race. now that joe biden is out and kamala harris is in i there was the merits family how much is too much? i think everything felt a lot more.

9:20 pm
is cnn a big legal development today that could emphasis on, could become another twist in this suddenly dramatic presidential campaign. >> the federal election interference case against donald trump. now back in the hands of dc district court judge tanya chutkan, that after a lengthy and precedent breaking detour, that saw the supreme court greatly expand presidential immunity. judge chutkan is known as no nonsense. and before the supreme court delays had made clear, she wanted to trial before the election now we wait to see her new plants for a case that we also know faces some significant changes. cnn's paula reid joins us with more. so what's next? >> well, judge, tanya chutkan has her work cut out for her. now she needs to apply this game changing decision by the supreme court to the case that was brought by the special counsel. the first question is, okay the acts that have been charge which ones are official because those they get tossed, he has immunity or the unofficial acts that may or may not remain or any of those supported by evidence that they could successfully argue what
9:21 pm
constitutes an official act, because the supreme court not only said he had immunity for official acts he also said that official acts cannot be used as evidenced, even to support crimes that are unrelated to your official duties. now, how does she do this while she could have a brief trial to suss out some of these issues at two or three-day trial. but right now, we're still waiting for her to release her schedule. her much anticipated timeline of how she plans to tackle this we're inside 100 days now. is there any way on earth you could have the actual full trial once she refines the case before the election. >> i don't think so before the election, but it's interesting, our colleague henera benowitz, she did a great story today about judge chutkan as a jurist and talk to people who practice just before her. and one of them said that they believed that if trump is re-elected, that chutkan could try to do that trial between election day and inauguration day. now, done. i can guarantee you if they want to try that, it would likely mean another trip to the supreme court so before he would have the power to make it go away? yeah. yeah. would be
9:22 pm
the supreme would get that. what i understand you've also spoken earlier to a member of trump's legal still legally about this case, where they say, let's write or earlier today, i spoke with will scharf. he's one of trump attorneys, and i asked him, okay, what's your plan going forward on this case? here's what he said. >> a part of the problem though is the use of immune evidence during grand jury proceedings that led to the indictment in this case, the supreme court was very clear that immune evidence can't be used even in cases involving non-immune conduct. so in all, we believe that this case has been struck a fatal blow by the supreme court. and that there's simply no way to disentangle immune from non-immune based on how the case is proceeding. he did thus far say it's really focused there. >> you heard him on the evidence portion of this and in speaking with sources across the trump legal teams, that is their focus and they believe that using the fact that you can't use official acts as evidenced that whatever remains of these cases right in the
9:23 pm
coming weeks and months and they can gut focusing on trying to get that evidence tossed out. now, i think that's a very optimistic analysis, but they're trying it in new york at the mar-a-lago documents case comes back until they'll try it there. i'm going to try it in dc and look, we doubted them on their delay delay delay strategy that has been successful. so we'll see what happens. >> we will see what happens. so we will wait first for judge chutkan to tell us at least her first course forward. paula reid, grateful for your time. thank you. let's get some perspective now from our cnn political analysts in the new york times senior political correspondent, maggie haberman maggie, this is what the great political philosopher donald runs but what's called one of the unknowns, how this case is going to proceed. what will the timetable be? what will the judge decide? will there be fights even over that that delay it further? but now that it's back in the hands of judge chutkan we know the trump legal team did not like how the trial judge was proceeding or they worried now or they think at least this will be after the election, will sweat it later the trump team is feeling very good about the timeline on this because even if there is a
9:24 pm
hearing set to try to determine what would qualify as official acts and there could be an airing of you know, evidenced that the trump team would consider problematic or potentially problematic adds such a hearing. >> they also think that they would have a chance to present things that would be helpful to them. they are they are very confident at the moment that this is not going to impact them legally ahead of the election, if at all. and paula is correct that they believe that they are going to chip away at all of the he's cases now will seem and manhattan is obviously a different story. that sentencing date is set there is some hope on the trump team's among the trump legal team that they can somehow try to impact that sentencing even with its new date, it seems unlikely, but we've said unlikely many times and thanks because it happened. >> yes, we have you're part of a fabulous piece today in the times about the debate inside the trump campaign, the republican party about how to run, how president trump should run former president trump should run against vice president harris. and you noted in the piece, it does have a history sometimes letting his personal instincts take over
9:25 pm
what it's strong woman when questions of race come up what is the debate internally? >> so it's less of a debate internally than we've seen previously. john, i keep thinking back to 2020 when there were protests over the killing of george floyd and trump posted on twitter, align i'm paraphrasing, but it was when the looting starts, the shooting starts and it was echoing a racist miami he police chief from decades earlier, there was there was an outcry inside the white house and a lot of consternation among his aides. what you saw here when he was at the nabj bj conference earlier this week and he and said something that he's been trying to inject into the bloodstream for a week, which is questioning the idea that kamala harris is really black. his team rose right behind him and echoed it and posted about it on twitter and there was something shown on the screen at his rally in pennsylvania short time later.
9:26 pm
so there's not much of a debate. there is some private concession from some people close to him that this is something they wish he hadn't said, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of fighting him on this one the former president also saying this week and he's right, historically vice presidential picks do not have any huge impact on the election, but there's been a debate about his own pick, j.d. vance who had a bit of a rocky start. trump saying, i will say this. i think this is well documented historically, vice president terms, elections doesn't have any impact. i mean, virtually no impact do they still believe that there are some republicans outside of trump world saying i might have made another choice look who he was going to pick was a source of enormous contingent, as you know in the weeks and even hours leading up to him finally announcing who was going to be so it's not surprising that this is we're getting picked over in hindsight. >> i don't think that trump and we with the caveat, john, donald trump turns on almost everyone close to him sooner or later, and we have seen that
9:27 pm
over many, many years. first, there was a countdown clock on everyone with him at a certain point, but i think he has much more consumed just based on all my reporting by the new contours of the race, he's facing as opposed to all of the press and attention that j.d. vance is getting. would he rather not be dealing with that? there's no question but i don't think it's his main source of concern right now to that point, he has watched the vice president made her decision now, picking a running mate really stick to the point that i don't think it matters, or will we see him? detour over there once that choice is made there's an awful lot of opposition research and attacks being logged on. >> josh shapiro for people who don't think the vp choice matters. and we should be clear. we don't know who the vice president is going to pick as her own running mate for that slot. but i don't think that they generally think it matters. i do think that there is an enormous amount of focus on pennsylvania for obvious reasons. it is a key piece of her path to winning the general
9:28 pm
election. donald trump has a wider path and that is why they're looking at the chances that josh shapiro could help. are there his chest he becomes very stronger. mr. trump's does if he can hold pennsylvania, maggie haberman. thank you for your time. really appreciate it. up next for us. randi kaye heads back to make and georgia just to gauge the impact of the new harris ticket on a group of women voters, all part of our continuing series, the 53% maybe on the edge moments that shaped our culture coming this fall on cnn. we just want to have enough money for retirement and travel to visit our grandchildren. >> our understand. and that's why at fisher investments, we start by getting to know each other why can learn about your family, lifestyle, goals and needs, allowing us to tailor your portfolio. >> what about commission-based

9:33 pm
reason once again, a crucial battleground state, you might remember just four years ago, took a few days to count them all, but president biden won the state by less than 12,000 votes this week, our randi kaye went back to make and georgia to talk with a group of women voters for a third time to see what they think of the race. now that harris has replaced biden on the democratic ticket, this all part of three 60s election year series, the 53%, 53% is the average proportion of women voters in presidential elections since 2000 here's randi's report this one is the goddess of motherhood and the ocean, ocean show of hands here, who in the group is glad that joe biden dropped out of the race? >> all of you, kamala harris has raised 200 million in one week. >> how do you feel about that? has that energized any of you to see young people?
9:34 pm
>> so energized and registering to vote in huge numbers. it feels very similar to the energy that i've felt when president obama was running. >> i'll feel the same way, but i wonder is this honeymoon period is it going to stay like this? >> i think this is going to get, you know, crazy like kamala crazy as a fourth-grader, wondering if a black one would ever be president? now is something that could actually happen, is realizing a dream. i think we are ready for a woman. >> i think we're ready for a woman of color i'm not sure we're ready for kamala harris. >> i don't look at their skin color or if it's a man or woman, i want to qualified candidate and based on what she has or hasn't done so far i'm not seeing a very qualified candidate, some republicans have been referring to kamala harris as a dei, hire. it's an easy dig it, you know, it's like you can always go for guler instead of like you guys stated earlier, what she's done, what her record has

shown, and what she stands for. i think he's just an easy dig. >> i think, you just made he's going to have her at the top. if you look at her political career versus trump she trump's the fact that kamala harris is a big supporter of reproductive rights. is that a big draw for you huge plus having body autonomy as we all should have the right to choose what we do with our own bodies. how many of you think kamala harris can beat donald? donald trump? >> yeah, i do i'm halfway when it was announced that this was happening, i went oh darn what now? >> i really feel like it's going to be extremely close. it could go either way. >> and if they can get our young black males out to vote, that's going to be to me the deciding factor which pushes her over the edge because i thought okay, i felt we were going can i have a republican? but now, who knows? yeah, it's a real fight now, do you think it's fair that the republicans blame harris for the problem at the border in part the border
9:36 pm
crossings have dropped to a three-year low in june. i don't know whether it is harris has followed are whose fault it is, but it has definitely increased in the type of people who are crossing into the border and the damage that they're doing to our country harris has become more in line with some of biden's positions on certain issues. in some cases even reversing where she stood the 2020 race. now, how do you feel about the evolving is real or she just saying what she thinks people want to hear, or they rebranding coming mallak to be more palatable. >> i believe it i think with her having forbid vp for the past four years, things have changed. >> what makes you nervous about trump running against kamala harris? >> because kamala is a great spokesman. she's a debater. she's going to appeal to a wide range of americans, regardless of color or even female i just think people are going to like her. >> she's very likely very likeable trump he's his own
9:37 pm
worst enemy with his ego huge ego, and his huge mouth to match let's talk about the presidential debate that's supposed to happen in september. kamala harris is calling him out on this saying that he's backtracking. do you? feel like trump is sort of running from this second debate a bit so i think he's scared because he actually will have to come with some real facts and information. he would have to prepare a little bit more to debate her plus, she's argued in court. >> i think women from all across it's the board are going to really be paying attention to this debate because it's like, okay, we know your track record with a woman. if he were well-prepared, he would he would do well, but it's going to be tough because she's she's smooth. >> she really is. >> last time we spoke two of you. k and k hey, had decided you said that you had decided on a candidate and it was donald trump. are you still firm on that i'm not still firm, but loved the republican
9:38 pm
party to win but i think kamala harris has so much to offer that it could go either way in front. >> this accomplished a lot in the four years. what camilla has to convince me of is that those things will return. >> are you still firm on donald trump yes. >> and i mean, it's not trump so much as the republican since then i'm not convinced that camila is the one i feel like she's got a lot of biden baggage. that's following her. >> i know the three of you. last time we talked worse still undecided are you decided now? i am. you are going to repairs. she speaks more to me. she's more likable for one i'm younger. i like that because she's going to be able to relate more to younger people definitely voting for kamala harris i'm definitely leaning more towards harris, obviously in the honest truth is because she's a woman and i think the country is ready for a woman and it's not because she is
9:39 pm

haniyeh. today, sources tell cnn haniah was killed in tehran by an explosive device set in place in a place he was known to stay while in iran. that device set there about two months before the actual detonation cnn's clarissa ward joins us with the latest clarissa, what do we know about how israel and the united states are preparing now for this expected retaliation from iran and perhaps also its proxies in the region well, john, of course, the u.s. has now announced that it is sending another carrier strike group to replace one currently near by, but it's also sending a warship fighter squadron additional warships. >> and this is coming as israel is taking a slightly different the tone it's not urging anyone to change their daily plans. >> the home front command hasn't issued any warnings, but we are seeing signs of preparations. we've spoken to a hospital today who said that they are moving there rather that they've moved all of the
9:50 pm
cars out of this underground parking lot to prepare it for patients? since potentially if there was some kind of a strike, we've also heard from the municipality in jerusalem issuing instructions to people to make sure that their shelters already that they can be accessed with the 90 seconds and crucially to make sure that they have enough supplies to last if there's a potential power outage that could go for a few days. john and what are officials saying publicly? perhaps a different perspective from sources privately about their expectations. we lived through a similar scenario back in april is the anticipation. it will be similar or different and larger well, they're not being drawn on the specifics, but a lot of analysts are guessing that iran will have to do something even more than what we saw in april. those 300 projectiles, almost all of them were intercepted. so iran has probably learned from that israel will have learned from that as well. the question becomes, does iran go for another solo direct attack or do they call upon the so-called
9:51 pm
access of resistance that network of militias throughout the region who might also be called into firearm pockets to use drones to try to overpower israel's air defensive and cause more damage. john, there have been, as you know, some disagreements between the biden white house the israeli government, over the ceasefire negotiations over israel's conduct in gaza but on this question, what to do if iran responds aggressively? >> is there agreement between the united states and israel? >> well, there seems to be some agreement and some disagreement. the agreement is that the united states will defend israel if it comes under attack, but we're also seeing in president biden saying that he did not think it was helpful the assassination of ismail haniyeh hamas, political leader in terms of those ceasefire talks underscored that he thinks it is crucial for those talks to continue. even here in israel, there has been a lot of disagreement about what is the best act to take going forward
