snoop dogg dropping like drop it like it's now la, is on the clock as the u.s. hosts the world at the next summer olympics in 20 2028 first of all, i hope snoop is coming back back right? he has to write. yes absolutely love high bar la, but parrots, secretary job, amazing. >> paris did a great job david frum. what do you make a tom cruise? they change the hollywood sign, they put the olympic rings up there la has been a great center of olympics. >> 1984, i think was one olympics it didn't lose money. and of course the whole shape of modern los angeles is i went to there their first olympics. olympic avenue and the whole shift of the city from the center to the west, they owe to the olympics of almost a century ago. so i i don't disbelieve the mayor that the olympic could be transformational for the wallets angeles on the 21st

century. >> all right. fair enough. all right. thanks, guys. i really appreciate you joining me today. thanks to all of you for being here. i'm kasie hunt. don't go anywhere. cnn news central starts right now this morning, a race it's transformed. >> one candidate surging in the polls, the other flailing on social media. all as we count down to the democratic convention and hacked donald trump's campaign says hostile foreign actors breached. its internal communications and stole information from the campaign. what an anonymous source said to politico about j.d. vance? >> the paris games are over, but the fight for a metal is not the new twist in the battle over whether american gymnast jordan chiles gets to keep her bronze medal. i'm sorry. sure. aside with kate bolduan and john berman. this is cnn new central exactly. one week

before the democratic national convention in america is waking up to a race track that's formed completely, at least for now. new polls show vice president harris leading donald trump among likely voters in three key battleground states. just weeks ago, trump was ahead of president biden. there you know what it's not just the numbers, it's the tone and focus of the race new york times columnist ezra klein notes, quote biden's communication strategy was designed to make trump bigger. harris. his strategy is to make him smaller. and there are signs. it could be working with trump's spouting while fantastical lies about crowd size. cnn's isaac dovere is here with the very latest how does the harris team view things this morning? isaac well, look, john, they obviously are glad to see good poll numbers following a good

couple of weeks for the vice president's and she got into this campaign. >> remember, we're only talking about three weeks here since joe biden dropped out. but they're trying not to get too ahead of themselves. harris herself was in san francisco yesterday fundraiser, and she said to donors there that she's never been one to really believe in the polls whether they're up or they're down, what we know is the stakes are so high and we can take nothing for granted in this moment. and what the harris campaign is focused on here is making sure that people don't get that feel like the race is done, feel like they don't have to do a lot of the work here there are very few people who believe that this race won't come down to a couple of hundred thousand voters that most between a couple of states. and that's the sort of thing that could even it doesn't matter where the popular vote goes could end up swinging in the electoral college it's amazing to think about democrats talking about complacency, which just three-and-a-half weeks ago, it was republicans talking about complacency there. so what is the week? have in store in

terms of a policy rollout and i guess the first ever appearance between president biden and kamala harris since he has left the race? >> yes. we saw them briefly on the tarmac when that prisoner exchange happened, and andrews air force base, but this will be an event on thursday in maryland, right outside dc with the two of them there together. it is put out as an official government event, not as a campaign event exactly, but they clearly are going to be doing it in the sense of passing the torch, what the white house has told us so far is that it will be focused on lowering costs for americans and what that is important is because not only is it harris and biden talking about economic issues, but it's the two of them staying very closely connected to each other. and that is something that we've seen since harris got into this race. even as the republicans trump campaign of tried to say that biden's record is bad and harris is tied to it in a bad way. that's not the approach that they're taking isaac dovere great to see you this morning. >> always great to have you on the morning. appreciate it,

sara. all right. >> here we go again, false claims about crowd size from donald trump, but even more talk about kamala harris is race and childless cat ladies, from his he's running mate, j.d. vance, just a few of the new and familiar lines of attack. we heard this weekend as donald trump tonight sits down for an interview with elon musk. let's bring in cnn's steve contorno steve, some republicans want to see a more disciplined as you heard from isaac dovere message from trump going after harris but is that what they're getting certainly doesn't seem so far, sara, i think scattershot is probably the best word to describe what we saw from the former president's over the weekend, he made fun of senator jon tester's wait, the democrat in montana, he called tim walz, quote, very freak, which he said harris walz supporters were pink haired marxist looters perverts flag burners, hamas supporters, drug dealers,

gun grabbers, and human traffickers and he also continued to be fixated on the crowd size of what vice president harris is getting versus zone. >> in fact, in a series of social media post he he, he shared debunked footage and claims that harris was dr paying her crowd size. these were a.i.-generated images that they were sharing. he said that she should be disqualified because they faked their crowd sizes when these photos were easily debunked meanwhile, his running mate continues to be answering questions about some of his past statements and trying to focus the attacks more on what they say are the anti-family policies of the harris-walz ticket? take a listen to what j.d. vance told our cnn over the weekend i think that what it is is two people, kamala harris and tim walz who aren't comfortable in

their own skin because they're uncomfortable with their policy positions for the american people. >> and so they're name-calling instead of actually telling the american people how they're going to make their lives better. i think that's weird. sure. dana, but look, they can call me whatever they want to do. you believe kamala harris is black? i believe that kamala harris is whatever she says she is, but i believe importantly that president trump is right, that she's chameleon. she pretends to be one thing in front of what audience now still not much campaign action from donald trump this week though he will, as you said, sara, speak to elon musk later today, j.d. >> vance. meanwhile, will be more active on the campaign trail in the coming days. >> i'm steve just curious what you can tell you about the trump campaign saying that they have been hacked. what do we know on that front yeah, there's still a lot we're still trying to figure out about this to trump campaign claims that a quote, high ranking official in that campaign was hacked by from

microsoft by iranian hackers. >> now i ran, we should say, has so far denied this and is unclear if iran was responsible. microsoft is so far declined to comment the u.s. government has not shared it with public detail any details that his head at this point, this is all stemming from political the coa reporting over the weekend that it had received emails, including internal communications and a research dossier on j.d vance that the campaign had put together the campaign in a statement saying these documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the united states trying to sow chaos throughout our democratic process. i should note sara, that donald trump was the recipient of this kind of foreign interference back in 2016, he actually encouraged russia to go after senator clinton's emails and then continue to talk about them well into the the race. >> we all remember that steve contorno. thank you so much.

for your life insurance when you need it with advocates breaking news overnight, defense secretary lloyd austin has ordered a guided missile submarine to the middle east and also sped up the arrival of a carrier strike group and anticipation of a potential attack by iran on israel. >> and according to a source the israeli defense minister has told secretary austin that iran appears to be preparing for a large-scale attack that could come days. it could be days away. now, seen as nic robertson tracking all of this from tel aviv for us, nic, what's the very latest on this? >> the situation this week it feels much more tenuous today than it did just a couple of days ago when iran seem to be holding back from the possibility of a retaliatory strike into israel because there was a potential for some momentum on the gaza ceasefire

talks between israel and hamas. and the mediators on that, those talks now seem to be on a less certain track and the sources that i'm talking to now are very concerned that that israel a b preparing for a larger scale attack, they may try to have an attack like last time that was in within the military rules of engagement, not impacted things civilians. but the assessment at the moment is iran may go for a maximalist position. and that's why the hope that was available last week, that the situation could be averted seems to be dimmed at the moment. it's not done because those talks as important tools are scheduled for thursday but according to this source, i was talking to in the region time is really running out a not enough pressure is being applied particularly on the prime minister benjamin netanyahu here to compromise

his negotiating position well, that then begs the question, where, where do these talks head? because they were thrown into serious question, obviously, as you were noting, with the assassination of hamas's top political leader when he was in iran. so if, if, if the urgency is there, but things aren't moving, i mean, what are you hearing from from where? from your post the hope last week was that these important negotiations around gaza would give iran a fig leaf to say look, those negotiations are going forward, and therefore, we don't want to risk those negotiations and sacrifice the lives of palestinians inside of gaza for the sake of our retaliation against israel, that would be the fig leaf, if you will, allow them to walk away the assessment right now seems to be what we're hearing from hamas is they feel that they could go forward on talks if they run the bank they say so of what president biden

proposed in july, but they feel that the conditions that are being applied by israel in prime minister netanyahu are not tolerable and are unacceptable. >> that the strike on the gaza school over the weekend that killed 90 civilians according the local officials that israel said was targeting hamas leaders that sort of escalatory action in their eyes means that they're not willing to go to the talks and the very real question at the moment. and what sources were saying the success of this last week, there were senders success of these talks process was going to be predicated on pressure coming on prime minister benjamin netanyahu from president biden at the white house and their assessment today, today, not last week. the assessment is different. they don't think that pressure is coming and therefore, these talks aren't going to happen. and therefore, iran won't stand by on the sidelines and may even assess that they need to go for it for a bigger strike than a calculated calibrate it said one intended not to escalate very interesting, nic,

>> stars take up renovation to give back in a big way. celebrity ious season i'm here tonight at nine on hgtv this morning. >> officials in ferguson, missouri say a police officer is fighting for his life after he was injured in protests, marking ten years since 18-year-old michael brown was killed there police say the injured officer travis brown fell and hit his head after someone charged at him. cnn's stephanie elam is with us with the latest on this. what are you learning this morning, stephanie i'll down what we're learning is that this happened friday night, which was exactly ten years since michael brown was shot by a ferguson police officer and killed. >> and what was happening is that their protests throughout the evening that police say were demonstrators for peaceful. but then as the hours got on, they got to get the became more violent and there were protesters who were shaking the fence outside of the police station and this happened several times according to the police department. but then when they started to break off parts of the bottom of the fence, that

is when the ferguson police chief sent out, a group to go ahead and arrest some of these protesters and that is when this incident happened where the officer officer brown was actually knocked to the ground as someone violently is the word that the police chief views through his shoulder into him and knocked him to the ground and he had this brain injury hitting his head and that individual was arrested. he's 28-year-old, elijah gantz. he's been charged with five charges, but one of them being assault here as well. all of this happening as these tensions rising over something that you remember the black lives matter protest movement really took off after this michael brown incident here. so this was hotbed of it. but if you listen to the current police chief of ferguson right now, troy doyle, he's saying that many of those officers who worked there don't even work there anymore, and that this level of protesting is unwarranted. take a listen to him since 2014, it's been a punching bag for this community

the police department back in 20 foot, we don't even have them offices here anymore. so what are you protesting? these officers? 90 may hear no more than ten years later. i an officer fighting for his life. >> this enough. and i'm done with him. we're not doing it here in ferguson you can hear that the police chief is frustrated and upset and that sound that we just played for you, what we understand is too also the officer travis brown was trying to arrest this person because they had broken off and stolen a large chunk of the fence on the latest updates that we've seen, john, is that the officer is still as the police chief said, fighting for his life alright. >> stephanie elam for us, keep us posted on this. thank you very much. sara. all right. still ahead. new polls out today. who is up in the all all-important battleground states and what does it mean for the state of the race? we'll have that coming up an la officially taking the torch,

chiles, who was stripped of her bronze medal, joining me now is cnn's andy scholes. the ioc, talking about this today, what is happening with this really emotional moment for chiles? >> well, so sara, so usg, us gymnastics says, not so fast. we're not given that metal backtest. yeah, it's going to appeal the decision to strip gymnast jordan chiles of that bronze medal. so i'll give you a little background, you know, chiles originally placed fifth in the floor exercise last week before team usa challenge the result, arguing one of the elements were routine, was not scored properly, and that challenge, it was successful in the moment they gave chiles and extra 0.1, which moved her ahead of romania's ana barbosu into third place. but on saturday, the court of arbitration for sport ruled that the usa's challenge came four seconds after the one in a minute deadline, and therefore does not count. now, usa gymnastics says well, it has new video evidence showing that

the inquiry was submitted before the deadline. it has requested to reinstate chiles score and allow her to keep that bronze medal. so we're just going to have to wait and see how that controversy ends up playing. it now of out, now the us women's basketball team, meanwhile, they got gold again, but it was not easy against france yesterday us is down ten in the third, but they rally to take the lead by 21 points when their star asia wilson, she was fantastic ask against france was then down three in the final seconds and look at this gabby williams, banks in and shot at the buzzer, but her foot was on the lines of the u.s. wins 67 having to 66 to capture a record eighth straight gold medal. and it was there 61st straight win at the olympics it was just a surreal moment, but it was just, i loved the environment, i loved the atmosphere. >> pearce was great just having a lot of thun we battle, we basically adversity we came out on top and kept the main theme, which we've all taken time away from our teams to do something really, really hard.

and the fact that this is eight straight golds is insane, honestly but each one is so, so different and so, so special and so hard i love wilson's glasses. >> they're now team usa's a basketball gold there. it's sealed the tie with china atop the gold medal standings, 40 apiece first time in summer olympics history that the gold medal count finished in a tie the americans did certainly run away with that total medal count, 126, their most since the 2016 rio games when they had won 21 host nation france, they finished with 64 metals. that was their best summer olympics performance since they first hosted the games. back in 1,900. but now the summer games moving on to los angeles for 2028 and tom cruise helped deliver that olympic flag he jumped down in the stadium in paris yesterday during the closing ceremony has only tom cruise can right? then he took the flag from simone biles, hopped on a motorcycle than the broadcast, got to a pre-recorded video of crews, then in la, combining the

olympic rings and the hollywood sign that sara looks pretty cool right there. i wonder if they're going to end up during that for the games, but i will say paris olympics i thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. i thought it was fantastic. i would say my favorite moments, steph curry in that gold-medal basketball game, because that was some of the best shooting. the game of basketball has ever seen. what do you what was your favorite moment? >> it was amazing, but it's got to be biles, biles, bile, sorry, buddy. i just can't stop thinking about her and watching her. that was my jam. this is funny though because he's definitely jumping us all into la, la land. this, this, this makes sense. i get it. i get the idea you know, andy scholes. thank you so much. appreciate it. kate smoke bombs was like, can you just hand me the flag? >> we just move on. anyway? >> i'm a huge simone biles on but steph curry on the court was amazing, bananas or something else that is bananas is harry enten and polls doubling down from the ceiling for the segment, like like crews maybe never, the

enthusiasm around the harris-walz campaign is seeing at the rallies. >> no doubt, it's also showing up in new polling that we won't bring to you today showing the democratic ticket has made some gains in some battleground states. what does momentum look like in the polls here? enten is here. what do you think? what am i seeing? these were these new york times, sienna college poll that came out over the weekend and look, says democrat versus trump margin. this is may biden versus trump. you see plenty of red on this side. your screen, pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, of course, that quote, unquote, blue wall. this was back in may. you saw trump up by three, trump up but one and wisconsin biden up by a single point in michigan, the trend line here is what's so important. so let's jump ahead from may to august. we go from some red on this side of the screen. look, good at all this blue on this side of the screen, pennsylvania harris by for wisconsin, harris by four michigan, harris by four you're seeing those comments on trump on social media kind of going bananas and you're wondering why it's because he's looking at polling data like this,

which shows clear momentum from donald trump to kamala harris as joe biden's got out of the race. i'll note still no clear leader up here, but you would much rather be kamala harris up by four within the margin of error than joe biden and down by three in pennsylvania, down one, and wisconsin and only up by one in michigan within the margin-of-error. these are three to five point movements towards the democratic ticket. clear momentum and it's clearly angering donald trump. >> but take us inside the numbers. who is harris appealing to the joe biden was not when we have these, yes. >> so okay. is it that harris has getting republican voters know it's not that she's getting donald trump voters from 2020. what is she doing? number one, she's coalescing the democratic base. so look and biden this spring, he was getting only 90% of the voters who voted for him back in the, back in 2020, look good it now what do we see? we see kamala harris has getting 93% of those voters. so we see that momentum. the other thing that we see, is those untraditional voters, those voters versus all this talk that donald trump was

going to get these voters off the sidelines and getting a vote for who didn't vote in 2020 back in the spring, look at that. joe biden was only getting 28% of the 2020 non-voters look over kamala harris is now she's getting 43% of those voters of 15 point jump. so kamala harris is doing two things here. number one, she's getting more of those untraditional voters in number two, she's coalescing that democratic best other are you seeing signs and other polling of harris momentum as well? yeah. okay. so if it's just one poll, i'm not that interested, but take a look here. this is among those certain of vote. this is the democrat versus trump in michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin. this is an ipsos poll that came out last week. look at this, the june margin, biden versus trump. we see trump was up by two very similar to what we saw in those new york times, sienna college. look at where we are now in this august margin look at that plus two for harris. so again, a four-point movement towards harris, again within the margin of error. and the last thing i'll note, look at this. if harris just winds up in the great lakes, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin, she can lose arizona, nevada, and

georgia, and she gets to exactly 270 electoral votes, right? >> so momentum, it is mentum, it is. thank you, harry. thank you. john. >> all right. so if you want a visual representation of what harry is talking about pollster and communications strategist frank luntz just held a focus group watch this how many of you were supporting joe biden 14 days ago raise your hands none of you. how many of you, if the election were held today would vote for the democratic nominee. kamala harris i'm ok, that's all of you none of you to all of you and frank luntz is with us now. >> frank. thank you so much for being with us. let me just ask you if the election were held today, who would win? >> she would win. >> and i want to emphasize it's not just about more meant i thought your comments. here just for this was dana it's

also about passion. >> it's about him harris voters are even more eager to vote for her to donald trump. voters are to him. if not seen that in entire campaign, call that intensity and her campaign is generating the intensity. >> and another key component is exactly why this is happening she's talking un, emphasizing her persona, her attributes or character traits. >> and that's where donald trump has been commenting and the fact is the american people do not want to hear the same kind of negativity the same kind of attacks has been delivering. his strength is on issues, most particularly the two issues that matter most inflation and immigration but instead of speaking about those two issues and talking about the failures of the biden administration. he's been making these personal attacks and it's frankly churning the voters off that he needs to reach. now, i want to emphasize one more thing. >> hey, i i want to, i want to

break down. i want to actually break down some of the things you just said there in a piece's. and before we get that though again, if the election were held today, you say that harris and what if the election were held for weeks ago, who would win who would have won donald trump would have won. >> and i was very careful when i said it. and the reason why threefold number one is winning those three states, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, number two, we had the intensity, so would have done actually a percent better than his polling showed number three. frankly, he was on the issues that people care let's talk about the harris side for a second. >> because you talked about the excitement and if this is the asm, one of the things that she and her running mate are leaning into is this idea of joy how does joy rate in your focus groups? is there anything you can see where that's having an impact it's not joy as the absence of meaningless. >> and i want to be specific about this it's not that she's so energetic and so which is part of it the people in the focus groups appreciate

that. it's that they've stopped appreciating the same kind of attacks again and again year have to hear that down trump delivers, frankly. and now let me upset everyone here. it's not that she's winning this campaign, is that donald trump is losing. the campaign and i'm starting to wonder how does you not see this? how does not see the polling decline is had how did he not read and understand that people were fed up with the 93 minutes? convention speech. that was really great for the first 30 minutes and got really awful at the end. we are different people than we were when he was first elected. we are different country in 2024 than we were in 2016. and i don't think that he understands that last point i don't think as his campaign because he this stuff that they put out, i think it's actually the candidate that's responsible for this look at all the reporting over the last three days has seemed to indicate that the leaks, the likes of which we seen, generally speaking, or who send the candidate a message you've

got to see this. >> you've got to see the problem you're in as recline. this wasn't an article, this was a column in the new york times said, oh, he's an opinion writer, but he writes quote, biden's communication strategy was designed to make trump bigger harris says strategy is to make him smaller and then client continues. the result is that trump is starved for the resource he craves most attention. and as is often the case, 20 loses control of the headlines. he's making lunar year in moore self-destructive arguments how do you feel about that i think he's i never thought i would say this because as you and i have disagreed on lot, i think he's dana. >> let's talk about the impact on democracy in the end the key moment here is going to be the debates when harris and trump stand side-by-side and give the alternative points of view i still think he has a reasonable chance of winning because in the end, the issue agenda favors him but not if you're

so angry that you've stopped reflecting the people you're trying to reach. >> frank luntz, great to speak with you this morning. thanks so much for your time as always, sara. >> all right. this morning, a little bit of good stuff for you, you know, how to saying goes if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. that was the case for him, michigan lottery player he was able to 53-years-old he was off by just one number for matching all five winning numbers in the states. fantasy five jackpots. the next day though he's like, no, i'm going to try this, get and see what happens. and it paid off big time. his winning lottery ticket, $800,000, just about he said, when he got an email telling him to log into the account and accept his price. he thought it was a scam, but reality set in when he went to the lottery office to claim the money just what i'm doing today. is that what you're filling out right now? >> i'm feeling it out all the hubs going to brass donald

political commentator, former republican lieutenant governor of georgia, geoff duncan, who is endorsed. kamala harris in this election. it's good to see you again so this rule passed three to two the people on this board, they're not household names to oh, so many, you are more familiar with them who are the republicans who are pushing this? and what do you think they're doing here? >> well i think it's important to start with what this board really has done historically, and it's just a handle small administrative functions. it really serve as a liaison between the legislature and the counties because a majority of these elections, the work is done at the county level and so come 2020, brad raffensperger was kind of the poster boy of the state elections board as our secretary of state. and he just became an instant lightning rod for donald trump and those around them. so this board has really shifted over time and has been hyper-politicized and so really what you see is our state gop is owned and operated by donald j. trump solely and they have

used this board as a function to plant seeds of doubt in future elections. and it really didn't seem like it was even possible. but now, watching them just kinda ankle bite at worthless issues just to create doubt amongst the election and it's really scary to think about what could, what could eventually happen here, donald, from backfilling named checked the republican members on this board during his recent rally in georgia. >> listen to this three members gianna's johnson rick jeffries, and janel king, three people are all pitfalls fighting for honesty, transparency, and vision victory. >> we have some that aren't so good, but these three are, are really doing the job because they don't want to see this app that will destroy our country one of them, janel king, actually told cnn that the changes that they voted on were done in good faith.

>> and here was here is their statement. this is about protecting all voters. king told cnn, i am making sure i'm doing the right thing. i'm appreciative of the president's support, but i am not working on behalf of anyone what do you say to that jeff well, it's false. >> she works on behalf of donald trump because just just let's follow this lineage backwards. chanel was appointed by the state gop the state gop has paid millions and millions of there there of their donated dollars to defend these cases against donald trump and against those that were indicted, including the former chairman. so look, this is just a big circus environment that's wrapped around this. but look at the end of the day. my hope is that donald trump gets beat by a big enough margin that folks are not willing to take the bait. again while we cannot believe a tweet that comes out from donald trump that this election was rigged because if we go back in time, what we did realize was the 2020 election here in georgia was the safest legal. most fair selection in the country. and it was the most scrutinized too.

>> i ask you, while i've got you down from running mate, is done around of interviews this weekend and speaking with dana bash, j.d. vance dana bash asked j.d. vance about the past comments that have gotten so much attention, him calling out democrats as childless cat ladies and more. listen to this i criticized kamala harris for being part of a set of ideas that exists in american leadership that is anti-family. i never dana criticize people for not having kids. i criticize people for being anti-child, and i do think that kamala harris, she's as are statements she has said things like it's reasonable not to have children over climate change. i think it's the exact opposite message. we should be sending to our young families. >> okay. he's defending his past remarks here. you've said though you think he's going to be a drag on the republican ticket, what are you see i see a weird individual that doesn't connect with america. >> he makes statements that just are foolish and don't make

sense, but that's donald trump wanted what he wanted. he wanted a sock puppet. they just followed in his shadow and that's what he got and instead it's now a drag and you're watching this play out over and over again. this is really the perfect storm. i mean, the perfect storm showed up as joe biden having a horrible debate. and then this perfect storm flipped and you've got donald trump who's running out of energy, making bad decisions and acting like a fool again, the donald trump that got smoked in 2020 is back again in full force and 80 plus days ago, it's good to see you. >> thank you so much for coming in, john this morning. >> it's not just his his poll numbers that are sagging donald trump truth. trump media yeah. which owns truth social is reporting second quarter revenue dropping 30% from a year earlier, cnn's matt egan is here with that. >> yeah, john, it is so remarkable to see what's going on with this company. we're talking about generating less than $1 million in revenue. and yet it's worth billions of dollars. it's a really bizarre

situation made even weirder by the fact that the majority owner is the former and possibly future president, the united states, look at this revenue down 30% to $837,000. yes, thousand dollars. that is a very tiny number. normally accompany with that kind of revenue would be how you doing? millions of dollars, billions and look, the losses are piling up for trump media, the owner of truth social. we're talking about a loss of 16 million. that's despite the fact that this is a quarter where of course it's an election year and normally, you would expect it to be doing a little bit better. the good news is this this is actually an improvement because they had even larger losses in the past. let's look at the share price because it's been a rough stretch, spiked in the spring around the time that they went public. it's been coming back. and what's really interesting here is that in the three weeks since vice president harris entered the race for the white house. this stock has lost a quarter of its value. remember, it's not trading on

fundamentals, it's all hype. it's on momentum and it's become a way for traders to bet on whether or not trump gets returned to the white house. and obviously polls show that this is a much tougher race than it was a month ago for trump. and this loss in the share price has shrank. trump's net worth just three months ago. his net worth because he is the dominant shareholder, his stake in this company was worth over $6 billion. it's been cut in half to about 3 billion today, although the share price is down about 1% pre market, it's still a good, a good amount of money. it's a good mental model making money you off this, but it is interesting, as you say, if this is a bet on whether people think he's going to get the white house over the last three weeks, we saw that line going down, down, down matt egan. great to see you. thank you very much. >> sara. all right. this morning, a newly released 911 recording reveals a man claiming to be the uncle of the uvalde school shooter tried to intervene during the massacre that left 19 children and two teachers dead. the recording released by city officials more than two years after the school massacre reveals how the

shooter's alleged family member begged disk patron's to connect him with his nephew inside the school came to continue that rob been no. >> my nephew who's your nephew was wondering maybe he could he could listen to me because he does listen to me everything maybe you could come down and nordman something certainly. >> but that call came too late. the call took place seven minutes after the gunman had already been shot dead by law enforcement. texas state senator roland gutierrez is with us now to discuss some of this newly released information first of all, can you explain why it has taken two years to make these documents public to make that recording public when the family members have been demanding transparency from the very beginning well, thank you, sara, for having me on essentially, we filed a lie, filed a lawsuit against the state of texas. i lost that lawsuit simultaneously. cnn at

along with a lot of other media networks filed a lawsuit and luckily, it took this long to be able to get the information, but let's be clear. you only hear obtain the information from the city of uvalde, not the state officials or the county officials. you had the department of public safety, which is the state police, had the largest presence on the scene. and yet we still had zero transparency from the department of public safety from their director, steve mccraw zero accountability from a governor who refuses to ask for any accountability. they had over 95 officers present. and yet here we are two-and-a-half years later, would very little information, quite frankly, well, you have is the city of uvalde police department. so we do have their body cams. you do have their audio and there 9-1 one calls as you just heard we have to continue to fight for transparency here, but quite honestly, the families are

tired. they're tired of not getting their answers from a government that truly failed in every step of the way. and continues to fail them still tired and heartbroken. i do want to let you listen to an extraordinary interview. our ed lavendera did with the former police. uvalde school district police chief who is now criminally charged with child endangerment in that shooting his officers were first on the scene. he was given commands inside the school. we see the body camera video of that and telling officers that they had time on their hands at one point here, his what he said about the case against him i strongly disagree. and again, opinions vary, sir. and they're going to but i can tell you that probably hundred percent of those people hadn't been a situation like that before. >> do you feel like you guys are being singled out scapegoated and by all means since the very beginning, sir, i've been scapegoated from the very beginning what do you think of that response yeah.

no, i don't think he's being scapegoated. i think that he should be indicted, but sociedad's so many others, so i guess it defends it depends how you define scapegoating you have a texas ranger that walked around that building in inside that hallway for 50 minutes on the phone with a supervisor and yet nobody told him what to do or he didn't do anything that he was supposed to do, including set up an incident command outside of that building, you had countless other dps captains outside of that building that did nothing. arradondo is absolutely failed. those children and should be held to account for that. but so should about ten other people in that space? i think that mr. erdan knows is wholly lacking in his empathy for those families because it was also in that footage that you just described that he refused to look at his failure he refused to look at the videos that were presented to him.

>> yeah. he said it would hurt him too much and he tries not to look at them and you do mention there were eventually what, 376 law enforcement officers that took 77 minutes to confront and kill the gunman from the time that he entered the school through that unlocked door how our answer's going to be gotten what can be done next? from your perspective, from the perspective of lawmakers, to try and get this information to the families that they need and want and to get some justice we tried over 21 bills in the last legislative session will go back in january and will reiterate many of those bills. but you have a republican controlled legislature in texas that simply doesn't want to move forward on even the most common sensical things from accountability to transparency, or even raising an age he's limit which is all the families truly asked for it to 21 to access an ar 15, just like you would a handgun in texas. >> we are in a place where
