1:01 pm
tel aviv, quote, cautious optimism. that is how the israeli prime minister's office is now describing the possibility the u.s. of a ceasefire hostage deal with hamas. this a secretary state antony blinken is heading to israel tonight in an urgent push to finalize the deal, get it across the finish line. in we'll also go live to iran as that country vows to retaliate for the assassination of a hamas leader in tehran last month jim, we'll check back in with you for all of that back here in the us right now, former president donald trump is set to speak at a rally in the critical battleground state of pennsylvania. trump is on the campaign trail after weeks of struggling to adapt to vice president kamala harris entering the race, allies and advisers pushing him to focus on their policy differences. as the former president though continues to focus on personal attacks, cnn's danny freeman is joining us on the ground in pennsylvania. danny, a packed crowd behind a packed house there behind you. what can we expect from tonight's rally?
1:02 pm
>> we'll just get the very least we can expect a raucous rally for the former president here in wilkes-barre, pennsylvania. and just to note, this particular arena it's actually filling out quite a bit here. it's like you said, a packed rally here at the serena, but the big question in terms of what we can expect his will president for president trump stick to script? will he be able to actually stick to the message of going after vice president kamla harris on crucial issues of the cannone crime, immigration like you noted, jessica, this has been something that trump's campaign and his advisers and his allies over the course of the entire week has pleaded with him both publicly and privately to do to stay on message to home these attacks against vice president harris. but there have been many distractions throughout the week. one, of course, has been focusing on his older opponent, president joe biden, a quite a lot throughout the week. another issue has been being distracted by crowd sizes and then there was even just in the past 40 it hours this issue
1:03 pm
of saying that the presidential medal of freedom does something on the residence, trump said, he is quote, actually much better than the medal of honor the medal of honor, of course, awarded to service members who have shown extreme valor in line of duty now, but let's get back to where we are right here. jessica, because, you know, pennsylvania well we're in northeastern pennsylvania in wilkes-barre in lucerne county, more more broadly, i should say, luzerne county is very important because it's one of these fox that went for former president obama twice. and then went for former president trump twice. this area of northeastern pennsylvania really the heart oh, former president trump's base. so if he has any hope of carrying the great commonwealth right here, he's going to have to drive up numbers in this exact spot. and that's what we're looking to see if he's able to hold on these messages to really energize his base right here. jessica. >> yeah, the key to pennsylvania for a republican danny is just turn it out outside of those big city these as you well know. alright,
1:04 pm
danny freeman in pennsylvania, thanks so much. and just in former house speaker, nancy pelosi is expected to address the crowd at the democratic national convention on wednesday. but up first president joe biden, that commander in chief, will be the featured speaker on night one of the dnc in chicago. and he's expected to talk about his accomplishments of his presidency and then symbolically hand off the race for the white house to his vice president kamala harris. biden will also argue harris is the best person to protect freedom and democracy. and the best way to keep former president trump out of the white house. cnn's kevin liptak joining us now, kevin, we kind of laid out the broad strokes there of what we're expecting to hear. what more do you know about him? his address on monday? >> oh, he is working on it this weekend up at camp david with two of his senior most aides really trying to revise and refine what exactly he'll say. this could be one of his biggest audiences before november, and he will want to think closely about what is essentially the start of a long political a farewell. and i say
1:05 pm
the start because his aides are in fact that we will see plenty of president biden over the next five months. he will be campaigning for kamala harris. he'll be working to cement his legacy, but there's no question this is not the speech that president biden was planning to give or was hoping to give. and certainly he does still have some scars there's from that prolonged effort to remove him from the top of the ticket. but when you talk to biden officials, they do say he wants to look forward and certainly the democratic party wants to look forward as well. and that will be the thrust of what he talks about on monday night, really framing kamala harris as the most natural successor to this legacy do that he's left an office, he will make the proactive case for her as president talking about her record, talking about her character. but he will also make the case against donald trump continuing these warnings that trump poses a threat to democracy in that electing kamala harris, in the words of one biden official, is necessary to i'm sure democracy
1:06 pm
is preserved. so there's a lot that he's going to want to pack into that speech. although it was interesting when we saw him last night heading out to camp david, he only had one word when he was asked to describe his message to democrats, which was just win. now president biden i think is very proud of the fact that the democratic party was able to coalesce it's around kamala harris in no small part because he was so quick to endorse her out of the gate. and i think democrats will want to express their thanks to president biden throughout the course of this convention. and you will see scattered throughout the week mentions of his record, his ability with a pandemic, his legislative accomplishments you also see certain quotes from president biden broadcast on the larger screens inside the united center in chicago, where the convention is taking place, including the biden ism, spread, the faith that it will include a quote that he used in that oval office address explaining his decision to withdraw from the race? history is in your hands and we do
1:07 pm
understand that kamala harris will be on hand on monday evening for this historic passing of the torch moment. but for president biden, that will be the last we see from him in chicago. he will head out of town after monday evening, essentially leaving the convention in harris's hands it just underscores how much has changed in one month, barely one month it kevin liptack. thank you so much for that reporting and joining us now, democratic congressman gerry connolly of virginia, congressman, nice to see you on this saturday afternoon. thanks for being here with us. >> great to be with you. >> we were just hearing from kevin. there about what to expect from president biden now, on monday, he's going to symbolically pass this torch to vice president harris. he said earlier this week, he doesn't think she's going to try to distance herself from his economic policies, not really tried to separate herself from him and his in his administration. do you think that's right? and if so, is that the right move considering americans don't seem sold on the economy under the current administration well, i think
1:08 pm
it's going to be a combination, obviously kind of harris is going to be your own person and has for years ahead of her, hopefully. >> and setting an economic policy. but i think president biden and kamala harris have set a foundation that is robust and something both he and xi can be proud of the brat inflation down to the lowest level in three years. >> we've got the most robust growth. we've had in decades. >> we've got stock market really burgeoning. we've got retail sales high. we've got manufacturing coming back you know, it's created more jobs, 15 million jobs than any presidency in recent memory i think they've got a lot to be proud of, risk specially when you remember four years ago this economy was tanking people were hoarding toilet paper people were being laid off and they jobs by hundreds of
1:09 pm
thousands a week. small businesses were collapsing by tens of thousands a week the gdp was contracted so i think there's a lot to be proud of, a lot to build on, but obviously come on, harris is going to have her own ideas about which aspects of the economy she wants to focus on. in particular, i think she laid some of that out just a few days ago and i think that's something to work with them very proud of. >> and yet this new poll from the new york times and siena college shows that the former president donald trump still holds an advantage when it comes to the economy that voters saying they trust trump more than harris, 56% to 41% for harris on who they trust more to handle the economy so i hear what you're saying in your last answer. how does she though, take that what you're saying and convince the american people of it because those numbers show they don't trust her as much as they trust the former president i think she's got to focus on the
1:10 pm
future, which i think she started to do just a few days ago. she made some emphasis on earned income tax credits, on child tax credits on focusing on bread-and-butter table based items that most families are focused on when they think about inflation she's talking about trying to make certain key investments that will create jobs i think those are the things she's got to emphasize in terms of the future, not the past and i also think frankly donald trump's getting a lot of credit. he doesn't deserve. >> but that's the fact the life she has to talk about the future. >> and so she did do that on friday yesterday. gosh, that was only yesterday, friday. >> she did lay out some economic policies that she would enact again it's worth reminding everyone that it's going to come down to who controls congress and how that all works out to see if you can
1:11 pm
get all of these things pass. >> but would setting out what is essentially her vision for the economy, how she would like to see it work. and some of those proposals, democrats very happy across the board about what they saw, but some of those proposals those are getting some pushback from economists and the washington post editorial board out with a scathing op-ed over that plan to fight price gouging at grocery stores. they say the times demand serious economic ideas. harris supplies, gimmicks, price gouging is not causing inflation. so why is the vice president? trying to promising to stamp it out? do you agree? what do you what do you make of that i was surprised by the washington post editorial. >> they must have been pretty grumpy mood. a lot of people have described what kamala harris laid out yesterday as a populist economic message that was her exciting and that spoke to you kitchen tables all around america. >> i think that's a good thing. i don't think that's a
1:12 pm
bad thing. maybe the washington post to get out war but there are some economists that say that is really not going after a problem that's causing high prices at groceries doors that there's a lot of factors involved with that. >> and then point does something like the $25,000 down payment and say that they're concerned that's going to raise housing prices well, remember that $25,000 down payment assistance is coupled with her initiative to want to build 4 million new housing units. >> so she is addressing both supply and demand as somebody who spent a lot of time on affordable housing and local government. and my earlier career i really welcomed that initiative. we've got to focus on building more affordable housing. all across america and to hear the presidential candidate, presidential nominee of my party lay that out in specific terms, was a very welcome policy plank. and i think it's gonna go a long way
1:13 pm
to addressing both the support by and the demand. >> part of the housing crisis. and i want to go back to that new york times poll that was out. there's just a lot of new data in there that's kind of interesting to mind, but top lines, this extremely tight race between harris and trump for key states, arizona, north carolina, nevada, and georgia no clear leader within that margin of error in most of those races my question to you is this race the dynamics have changed and she is she has some momentum. there's no doubt about it based on the numbers where they were when president biden was still in this race and where they are now what do you think is the message that voters most want to hear from her right now as we head into this democratic national convention, which frankly, she's going to be introducing herself in a way to a lot of voters who know who she is, but maybe don't really know her you know, generally. >> in our history, we elect people to the presidency who have an optimistic, uplifting
1:14 pm
message and vision for the country remember ronald reagan, it's morning in america in 1994, i do it was a positive message gloom and doom two messages generally fail. and i think she has a great opportunity to really cement her image as somebody who's joyous excited, optimistic, positive, competent, has a plan for the next four years to take america for the dystopian dark, carnage but in general, mark and urban areas, vision of donald trump is just not a winning message and so those polls you're describing, i think i have to be compared to where we were say, three-and-a-half weeks ago the trajectory is one i really welcome i think we're headed in the right direction where we were squishy, including my own home state of virginia. >> where now stable and you're now looking at the battleground states expanding for the
1:15 pm
harris-walz ticket and in deep trouble for donald trump and his running mate. this demands senator events. so i like our trajectory and i think this convention hasn't. harris has an opportunity to really cement and pivot with a positive message in contrast to her very dystopian and dark opponent, donald trump, all right. >> congressman gerry connolly. thank you so much for your time. we sure do appreciate it my pleasure. >> jessica we have more, to come. in the cnn newsroom, including jim sciutto live in tel aviv. jim that's right. thank you. jessica. straight ahead, u.s secretary of state they've antony blinken is traveling here to israel tonight. as mediators and diplomats urgently pushed to get a ceasefire and hostage deal done, there still obstacles and the middle east braces for a potential iranian attack on israel, something the u.s. has said could come at any

1:21 pm
the prime minister on monday and blinken is just one of many diplomats racing to get a deal done as the potential for an attack from iran continues to loom over these talks. nic robertson is with us here in tel aviv, as well as fred pleitgen in tehran. fred, i want to begin with you. what are you hearing in tehran do iranian officials continue to echo the threat that they will retaliate? for the killing of the hamas leader in tehran yeah, they certainly do continue to echo that. >> and that is something that they say will happen or could happen no matter what happens in those hostage negotiation are in those ceasefire negotiations, i should say. and the iranians also jim say that they're not very optimistic about at the talks that have been going on and doe on, of course, are going to continue next week as well. and there's two things that the iranian acting foreign minister pointed out in all of that he said on the one hand, the iranians don't believe that the israelis are serious about the
1:22 pm
talks, but they also believe that the united states is not an objective mediator in all of this, because the united states is obviously so firmly in the corner of israel. i was able to speak to a very prominent to political analysts here in tehran is very close to around power structure. i want you to listen to his take on all this they put a new conditions which are, which are unacceptable if they go back to what the americans agreed upon a couple of months earlier, then i think the talks could succeed. >> but they've shifted the americans and israelis have shifted the goalposts and hamas is not going to accept that. so i'm not optimistic about the ceasefire. but even if there is one, the iranians will still have to strike the israeli regime because again, this is an issue of deterrence so an issue of deterrence for the iranians. obviously, the iranians said at one point already struck israeli territory directly from iran. that was after their embassy compound in damascus, syria was
1:23 pm
bombed. and now the iranian say something happen again here in tehran with obviously the killing of ismail hania, the feeling here is that revenge is still very much on the table. jim fred, that retaliatory attack. >> and as is so familiar, each retaliatory attack follows the last one was quite large back in april, many dozens of missiles and drones unprecedented in its scale. is there any sense of how big an iranian retaliation this time could be similar scale one of the things that that political analysts don't mean he believed that the next retaliatory attack by the iranians will hurt even more as he put it, whether or not it would be larger is certainly something that is really unclear at this point in time. >> i think there's several things though that we can discern from what we're hearing in tehran, but also in general in the region as well. the iranians appear to want some sort of coordinated response, coordinated retaliation that would mean obviously them at the very
1:24 pm
least, has bola as well and possibly some of the groups that are allied with iran in the region for instance, in iraq. now that does not mean that such a response would be simultaneous, so they would happen at the same time. it could be a different points in time, but certainly the vibe that we're getting here from iran is right now. they have so that revenge or retaliation. he's still very much on the table. they have not said when, where, and how but one of the things that they do say is they do believe they have the means for a crushing blow and it was quite interesting because you were mentioning that retaliation last time that it was pretty big, the iranians are saying, jim, that in that retaliation back then they used a lot of their older gear, a lot of their older weapons. and right now, they have much more formidable weapons at their disposal, which they can launch any point in time. jim yeah, it's a great point because most the vast majority of those weapons were shot down in that previous attack, fred, into ron, thanks so much. >> nodded. robertson joins me here in tel aviv again. so secretary blinken with yet
1:25 pm
another instance of shuttle diplomacy coming to the middle east, trying once again to get these talks across the finish line. what will he be emphasizing as he meets with the israeli prime minister? >> well it's the united states has put forward the bridging proposal and the bridging proposal is designed to get across the sticking points between israel and hamas. hamas, we already know is pretty much sticking on all those sticking points. points already. so therefore, it requires more pressure from secretary blinken on the israeli side would be the logical assumption to push forward and look for concessions that are going to meet hamas, part of the way forward. lord, secretary blinken's track record here and he probably be the first to admit it has been sadly lacking in concrete results i mean, we've both probably been here and seen many of these visits and he'll come back two months later for example, the humanitarian crossings into north of gaza that he asked for in january a few months later, he was still asking for it again and it's following visit. it is not clear that secretary blinken can really
1:26 pm
shift prime minister benjamin netanyahu's strategy and thinking. at the moment on this. and that is, that is entirely on the gift of prime minister netanyahu. no question. all right. so we have the outside pressure from the u.s. israel's prime ally. but we also have internal president pressure here and there were protests just tonight. and you see the pictures all over israel the faces of those hostages still held, still held there. how much of a pressure point is that for netanyahu today to get a deal across the finish line? it's ten months into their captivity in gaza. >> his resisting all that public pressure is resisting the pressure of the hostages. hostage families, they made this incredibly clear 316 days now they'd been held hostage and that's what the protesters on the streets, perhaps several thousand of them tonight, we're talking about they've been coming out many times in the week, often always on a saturday night always pretty much in the same place. these are largely peaceful protest. that the police stopped making arrests. i think probably a
1:27 pm
couple of months ago, realistically fires as i said in the road, this is something that's the city and the people of this city have become used to, but it's also something that the prime minister is absolutely weathering. i mean, look, let's look at it this way for it example, if you go back three or four months, everyone thought benny gantz than principle opposition politician who was in the war cabinet where prime minister netanyahu the thinking was if he pulled out of that cabinet then that would collapse netanyahu's government. that would be elections. benny gantz's today standing at the protest tonight with all those other protesters calling for the hostages to be police now, to seal the deal for netanyahu to do that, it's not happening. so that internal pressure is something that the prime minister netanyahu is. it weathering? >> he's defied expectations before his political death, often exaggerated his right and any managers to survive. nic robertson. >> thanks so much let's send it back now to jessica dean in new york tonight. of course,
1:28 pm
jessica, we're waiting for hopeful news out of here. we'll see where these negotiations go. >> absolutely, jim. thank you so much or thanks to nic as well. still ahead. we're talking to kevin o'leary, who's out of the shark tank for us tonight. we're gonna get his take on former president trump and vice president harris's plans for the economy here in the cnn newsroom tomorrow morning ukraine's surprise incursion into russia as putin vows revenge. >> what's the end game for ukraine? but we'd ask the country's former minister of defense to weigh in the weeds are korea gps tomorrow morning at ten batch was a very physical sport i get a lot of marks throughout the season a sign of hard work you've got to push yourself to the limit march nobody is not a sign of failure step towards improvements movement, lives

1:34 pm
chairman of ocean airs at etfs. >> kevin o'leary. hi, kevin. thanks so much for being here with us. we sure do appreciate it thank you yeah. i want to talk about former vice president harris is proposals first, a handful of her proposals in what she laid out yesterday, including stopping corporate price gouging on food, a grocery stores, the washington post editorial board called that a gimmick. there's also fears from economists that a $25,000 tax credit for home down payments could actually drive up home prices. what's your take? >> well, let me set the table first. i don't actually care who wins the white house. what i care about what the policy is, because i'm an investor, i have to put capital to work regardless of in the white house. so i really, really care about what harris says and what trump says about potential policy. let's take her price gouging idea first. they tried that in venezuela, cuba, north korea, the ussr know that's not going to work. it's impossible to understand how a corporation would set pricing based on gouging. what does that even
1:35 pm
mean? that's why it's being ridiculed, but i cut her wide berth. she's not answering reporters questions and she's got great momentum so throw anything at the wall you want free money for everybody that's what every politician does. but it has no merit. in reality, at some point, she's got to put forward policies that she can be questioned on in front of a reporter. and i'm not sure when that's going to happen. that's what i'm concerned about right now. >> what about the plan to build 3 million new homes using tax incentives and other policies to try to ease the housing crisis crisis in this country. it's been more well-received by economists again let me just look at the policy not criticizing her. there are bad ideas, bad bad ideas, and really bad ideas. and that falls in this category when you give $25,000 to anybody in a constrained market, you cause inflation. so if there's three houses to say on the street and everybody bidding on it gets
1:36 pm
another 25,000. all of that attributes to the seller and you cause the price of the house to go up because there's no supply everybody knows and real estate that's what i do for living. that it's not construct controlled by a federal mandate. housing is state-by-state. she can do nothing to solve that problem. there's no way she's building three 3 million houses where which state is going to give her that mandate? i mean, look, i will not try to see again, she said that she wants to work with state and local sheet acknowledged that she's going to have to work with state and local entities that this is a broader problem than her just waving what i guess what i'm getting at is there is an affordable housing crisis this country, if she could do those things, if she could work with state and local entities to build more additional housing to help spur that growth federal government wouldn't be doing it. they would be doing it. could that help? >> really than what you've been doing for the last three-and-a-half years. they haven't solved that problem. what they've been doing it all, you know, you can't solve this problem. go to california, 50% of the price of every house
1:37 pm
built in california is the cost of regulation. it has nothing to do with the building cost. this is a problem in almost every state because most of those people have morgan judges at 3.70% for another two-and-a-half years, they're never going to sell their houses. this is says apply issue again that policy will be ridiculed unless you can somehow win total control of the hill where she can jam the policies down. >> i do think it's worth underscoring that neither of them trump org here chris can do anything that congress isn't going to go along with its going to depend a lot about how congress is made up after this election to see what you're 100%, right? >> and again, i wanted i want her to be successful. >> i want her should she win to be a great president with policies that led me as an investor invests, but i really hate this rhetoric, this political theater i want her to put her policies in front of you, a reporter that would ask her how she could actually implemented. i'm waiting for that. and so were millions of other investors. and by the
1:38 pm
way, lots of voters in swing states we need some meat on the bone okay, so i want to ask you about former president trump, some of his policies. he says he wants to lean heavily into tariffs tend to 20% economists say that's going to drive up inflation. it could eliminate millions of jobs. they're very concerned about what that could do to the economy we already have all those tariffs in place. i'm not a fan of tariffs. they should be used as weaponry to bring people like china to the table to have her reciprocal placemat. we don't have that yet. mike, my personal opinion about the chinese economy, which is the big one we're really hitting terrorists with this increase the pain even higher until they come to the table and then get rid of all these tariffs, because that's really what we need is a fair trade agreement with china. this reciprocal access to their markets, access to their litigation access to policy and ip control. we don't have that. i'm an investor in china and adjust just to let you know, they have

1:40 pm
on it. it's a burner. i don't trust the chinese at all as far as i can throw a stick, but it's not the chinese people. i don't like this is about china. there's no other country there competing with us for ip, for technology, for markets, and they're not playing fairly. listen, we've been talking about this for 20 years. trump's the first squeezed their heads not a fan of terrorists. i'd rather shut them down in our markets. i can't litigate when i lose market share to one of my ip products in china, i can't sue them and they can use the courts to sue me here. let's shut that down. i can't less than hong kong. they can listen new york stock exchange, let's shut them down. let's find a way to squeeze their heads until they played ball fairly squeeze. they look, they only understand the stick. let's give them the stick all right. >> kevin o'leary, thanks so much. we appreciate it thank you. add in the cnn newsroom, russia says ukraine likely used american made rockets to destroy a key bridge as ukraine's forces pushed deeper and deeper into russian

1:46 pm
and i do want to go more broadly to the ukrainian incursion inside russia russia saying this is a u.s. supplied weapon. of course we don't have any reason based on a track record for taking russia at its word, but there has been concern among some u.s. officials about the use of us weapons for attacks inside russian territory. this goes back months to the start of the war. are those concerns warranted in your view? >> they are not in my view, german what we're talking about is the u.s potentially of u.s. weapons, which i agree with in a tactical fight against military targets, a bridge that was being used to resupply russians as they were trying to counter attack against the ukrainians that went into kursk not strategic targets, not something like an apartment building or a school or a hospital that russia has hit so many of inside of ukraine to cause civilian casualties infrastructure
1:47 pm
damage against a violation. >> it is a violation of the laws of land warfare. so what we're told talking about is using tactical weapon systems, not strategic systems and long-range to contribute to what ukraine is trying to accomplish on the battlefield. and that is to stop russia from continued invasion and continued criminal activities against ukrainian soil. now, you can say that that's a nuanced approach, and it is. >> but what we're seeing is ukraine is applying force on a battlefield to counter the kinds of attacks that they've been susceptible to by russian forces from a safe position across the border inside of russia. >> so they're striking not only bridges is stopping reinforced first men's but also airfields, radar sites, and the kind of military targets that the u.s. military would call. we'd call deep strikes. >> and at the same time you got to remember if this is a u.s us weapons system that ukraine is
1:48 pm
using, we have to remind ourselves that russia is using iranian drones massively. >> they're using north korea me and artillery and rockets and of course, some other equipment supplied by other members of their alliances. >> okay so let's talk about goals here, because this is clearly not a raid, right? not a quick cross-border raid where they come across, do some damage and go back and we're coming up on two weeks here. what is the goal in your view? is it to take and hold territory if it can write a mean, it's difficult to hold territory inside russia. they don't have the defensive positions lined up yet, the trenches dug, et cetera. but as the goal to take and whole territory, do you believe? if to present the possibility of an exchange for russian-held territory in ukraine that that's a possibility, jim, and there's a lot of analysts and pundits talking about what could be the objective of this campaign by ukraine. >> i said a few, i said 12 days
1:49 pm
ago, this was not a raid, there was too much forces to be erased didn't they were planning on staying there a long time? it could be a demonstration. first of all, that they can do it, but it had a strategic purpose to it. and the strategic purpose was to strike targets that are, that are contributing to russian assaults inside of ukraine like i said, the airfields, the radar sites, the ewc could it also be used to as a potential bargaining chip? eventually to show russia, hey, you're not going to get away with saying we're just going to take your territory and end this war now ukraine has a for tat, if you will, and they also have the capability to further embarrass not only mr. putin but also the russian military that doesn't seem to be able to defend itself in these kinds of offenses and those electronic warfare sites. >> q2, because russia has had some success in neutralizing some of them those ukrainian weapons systems that retired
