priscilla, what should we be expecting? and i also think it's interesting who you see and who you don't see in the audience here, because there are some progressive democrats who have taken issue with what we're expecting to hear from the president that's exactly right. briana, it is notable. who is there and who isn't because over the course of the de, we've seen that intense backlash from progressives who say, this is all too similar to what former president donald trump did and there are still, i'm sorry to interrupt you. let's listen to the president now i've come here today to do a republican congress refused to do take the necessary steps to secure our border four months ago, after weeks of intense to go, shay should be two. my staff and democrats, republicans we came to clear clear, bipartisan deal was the strongest border security agreement and decades, then, republicans in congress, not all but walked away from it. >> why? >> because donald trump told them to he told the republicans who has been published widely by

let's go now to cnn's priscilla alvarez priscilla, what are you hearing from the biden campaign look, biden advisers acknowledge it was a lackluster performance last night, but they are standing by him and they maintain that he is staying in this race. and sources tell cnn that he is still committed to debate in september, but there is no doubt that over the course of the day the biden campaign payne has had to contend with criticism from all part from everywhere from allies of the president, from democratic officials and lawmakers who were deeply concerned by the president biden that they saw last night. in fact, i had talked to folks heading into thursday's debate and they told me that they hope that they would get the state if the union president biden, who was showed, for example, the strength and was able to quell some concerns about age and mental acuity, what they got instead though, just raised more questions about the president's age and yes, advisers have pointed to the first debate that former president barack obama had against me, wrong? how many and noted that that wasn't

let's start at the white house with cnn's priscilla alvarez. so priscilla, it's been a very busy few days for president biden at camp david going through these run-throughs what's the latest there? >> well, today is another one. another day of debate prep for the president at camp david, where he is huddling with his advisors and also doing those mock debates with his advisors preparing for multiple scenarios. now, we're learning a little bit about what the president won't do during the debate. and that is make any policy or personnel announcements but the campaign sees this as an opportunity to draw a stark contrast with former president donald trump on three defining issues being the economy abortion, and democracy. but i'm now being told by sources of the president is very much repairing to go on the offensive on immigration that has been a key issue for former president donald trump. he has slammed biden time and time hi again in the president is preparing to point to his recent executive actions. officials have taken a victory lap today sa

priscilla alvarez. thank you so much. >> let's talk more about all this here with this now is palestinian american middle east analysts omar bedar so good to see you, omar i would love your reaction about what has transpired a lot in the last 24 hours from for israeli hostages rescued the palestinian health ministry, as well as the hospital. say more than 270 civilians were killed. the idf is disputing that saying the number is more in the 100 range. and then we just heard the national security adviser through there with his point of view say innocent people were tragically killed in this operation. the exact number we don't know, but innocent people were killed and that is heartbreaking the vice president, kamala harris saying, in detroit, thankfully four of those hostages were reunited with their families tonight she said this last night, but we mourn all the innocent lives that have been lost in gaza including those tragically killed. what is your reaction to all that's transpired? >> look there's no

cnn's priscilla alvarez and isaac we're are here with us. priscilla, let me start with you. what have you learned while the president has been huddling with his family? i can't david for this previously scheduled visit, but of course it came at a critical juncture and senior biden advisers are telling cnn that he has been encouraged by his family to stay in the race and that they are often bring their support. now we know the president has been trying to collect data anecdotally from his allies to get a sense of what they are seeing and thinking after thursday night's debate performance, we should note, however, that everyone is still taking the temperature of course, while the family is standing by the president and encouraging him to stay in the race. there is still a lot of unknowns here, especially as there has been so much from allies of the president democratic lawmakers concerned about what they saw on thursday night. that is what they've had to contend with, not only with the rank and file, but also donors who have expressing zaidi over what is going to happen next a

cnn's priscilla alvarez has more the united states on saturday commending israel for its rescue of four hostages with president biden welcoming the use alongside the french president. i i want to echo president macron comments, welcoming the safe rescue of four hostages that were returned to their families in israel we won't stop working until all the hostages come home and a ceasefire is reached. that is essential to happen. >> are us official tells cnn that an american cell in israel supported the rescue efforts, working with israeli forces. that and reference to a team that has been assisting israel since october 7 to information gather on hostages. but a source also confirming to cnn that there were no us boots on the ground in this mission. now, of course, the us has been pushing for a hostage deal that would also include a ceasefire in gaza. president biden himself outlining that three-phase proposal that again would include the release of all hostages and a temporary chris cease and potentially a permanent ceasefire in gaza. in fact, just this week, u.s. and 16 other countries ur

. >> i'm joined now by cnn's priscilla alvarez and white house reporter for the wall street journal, sabrina cdk. good to see you both. priscilla white house correspondent biden is back at camp david today with his family, not to plan for the next debate that he says he will do and september, but for a prescheduled family photo shoot even with that is his campaign, i guess, clearly in damage control or recalibration, right now while fred there has been multiple calls happening behind the scenes over the last few days with from white house officials, campaign officials, to who allies across the spectrum, because there has been quite a bit of panic and concern following the president's lackluster performance on the debate stage. >> 30 record, and trying to draw the stark contrast between that and that of his predecessor, former president donald trump. >> but in the fundraisers that the president has had over the last 40 get hours, he too, has had to concede the fact that he did have a rough debate on thursday night, and he has told donors over the last 48 hours that he is going to work

priscilla alvarez. and paula hancocks talks to you as well all right. >> let's bring in cnn political and national security analysts. david sanger, his new book, new cold war's is available right now. david, welcome good to be with you. >> fredricka and what a remarkable rescue story isn't it it is an incredible one, especially since we really don't know all the details, but we know the end result has led to these four who have been i'll released and rescue rescued, i should say not released but rescued and there they are right now, the four so we understand this rescue still means there are 116 hostages who were taken in the october 7 attack, who remain in gaza, israel and hamas have faced immense global pressure. two two agree on a ceasefire deal what do you suppose or what kind of impact might this rescue have on any other ceasefire or hostage negotiation talks? >> it's just the right question for riga and it's a little hard right now to major route exactly how this could play out in the days leading

joe biden included, cnn's priscilla alvarez, nic robertson, joining us with both on this. priscilla what is on the mind and the mission of president biden today okay. >> as you just mentioned elections in the united states and around the world could really change the geopolitics. and that is it's top of mind for president biden, just as it was last week. and this time around, donald trump's shadow will loom large over this g7 summit and some similar ways that it did when the president was commemorating d-day in france last week, the president is going to be arriving three years almost two the de, of when he attended the g7 summit in his first term. and at that time, us official said that the president was met with world leaders with relief and enthusiasm that he had won the election. and this is going to be part of what is part of the president's argument moving forward because the us is trying to strengthen its alliance and reaffirm its leaves your ship on the world stage and it becomes quite clear when we're talking about ukraine that has been top of mind for the preside

but first let's go to c cnn's priscilla alvarez. she's over at the white house worse, priscilla, a major moved by the president on a hot-button issue in this rematch with donald trump well a major. move wolf with huge ramifications at the us southern border as migrants will have more difficulty seeking asylum as they have done before. >> all of this, of course, coming only weeks before the first presidential debate and ahead of the november election president joe biden took his most dramatic move yet on the us southern border tuesday, as he tries to address one of his biggest political vulnerabilities head-on before november. >> i'm moving past republican obstruction to usually the executive authorities available me as president do what i can on my own to address the border, the sweeping executive action announced by the president shuts off access to asylum to migrants crossing the border illegally when a daily threshold of 2,500 is met, resulting in people turn back to mexico or remove to their origin country on accompany children

priscilla alvarez. appreciate that.et's go to cnn has been wiedemann now joining us from beirut so ben, the palestinian ministry with health saying that raid yesterday, they did result in the rescue of four hostages they also claim that it is it was the deadliest stay in gaza since this conflict began. what more do we know about what happened and how much of the deal? tales about the raid impacted the decision potentially of a benny gantz's resignation actually i have no idea how that impacted his decision to leave, but what we know is that this raid took place at a time when the streets in the nuseirat refugee camp in central gaza, were full of people and the death toll, as we know, is the highest in gaza. >> daily death toll since the 10th of december last year. now, when you conduct this sort of raid in broad daylight, when people are out out in the street, you need to get in and you need to get out. and it appears that the israelis used maximum firepower to make sure that the road out are the root out was as clear a

so priscilla is the white house saying anything this juncture about gantz's departure? >> we have not yet received a formal response from the white house about this, but we do know that the concern among us officials about ganz leaving the government was that he could jeopardize the efforts that are underway to secure a hostage deal. of course, if you have part of those discussions and you officials privately had urged him not to depart the government making the case behind the scenes that it could impact those talks while again, being careful not to tell him what to do. and of course of course, benny gantz had visited washington in march. he met with vice president kamala harris and national security adviser jake sullivan to talk about the day after planning and the ongoing talks of revolving around the release of the hostages, as well as a ceasefire in gaza. now come and going up to today, one of the questions that was top of mind was whether president biden outlining that hostage release proposal would reverse his decision if you recall, a couple of weeks ago, the pr

alright, priscilla alvarez. thank you so much meantime, former president donald trump also on the campaign trail this weekend, traveling to the battleground state of michigan, where he spent part of his day, according black voters at a church in detroit he then baselessly cast doubt on the 2020 election as a way to attack the 2024 election. and a conservative conference last night, cnn's even mackinnon has details the former president continued to echo conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, telling his supporters that he wants his margin of victory to be so large that it should be too big to rig. >> of course, we know the 2020 election was not rigged, but you hear that reframe being echoed by his supporters too big rick, he's also adding something else to his routine. it's really consequential and he's telling his supporters that they have to plan their vote, whether it's early or by mail on or on election day, they have to make a plan that's really a departure from 2020 when he casts doubt on those mechan

cnn's priscilla alvarez is joining us right now, live from washington, priscilla, what are the president's support are saying today? well, they're certainly trying to project confidence after what was a lackluster performance by president biden on thursday night and over the last 48 hours, there have been multiple calls with allies and top white house officials and top campaign officials, again, trying to quell those concerns and try to shift the focus away from the debate and more so on the president's record comparing that to former president donald trump's records. so that is where a lot of the conversations have been, but certainly there has been panic and heightened concern among donors and other allies who and you knew that the president was facing questions about his mental acuity and his age, but had hoped that thursday night would be a stronger performance by the president to try to assuage the concerns that are held by voters. now, what the campaign has also had to contend with is editorial board's in addition to to all of what they have been hearing from, again, donors and allie

priscilla alvarez has this report. >> president biden over the weekend underscored the stakes of the election at a glitzy fundraiser in los angeles, in a conversation that was moderated by jimmy kimmel. the president warned about a second donald trump presidency, but he did so this time by focusing on the supreme court, saying that in the next four years, it's possible that there will be more vacancies on the supreme court and posed the question as to what that could mean if it was donald trump as president during that time. the next president is likely to have two new supreme court nominees, two more, two more. >> he's already appointed, two that have been very negative in terms of the rights of individuals. the idea that if he's reelected, he's going to appoint two more foreign flags upside down is really i really mean it. >> could this be could this be the scariest part of all of it? >> well, i think it is one of the scariest parts of it. look, the supreme court has never been as out of kilter as it is today. after the decision that overrule roe v wade. the dobbs decision. you had

priscilla alvarez. great. see you. thanks so much. >> and in the history of america, not one president not one former president even has ever been tried or convicted in criminal court. >> let's talk to someone with a unique perspective on all of this. john dean, who was president nixon's white house counsel and is now a cnn contributor. john, it's great to see you on this saturday afternoon the only precedent we have that's close as you well know was president richard nixon who chose to resign and not only is trump, not stepping back, he's actively running for president. it's a very close race. >> what do you think it could mean for a convicted felon to be elected president of the united states well, i think it would be a horrible situation of even the fact that trump is running for office tarnishes the job. it really does if that is the standard, is that low? >> and you'd need first of all, he ran with no government experience. he got into job and show he really wasn't up to the job. but still he has a wide following

priscilla mentioned the fact that donald trump use an executive action to do some of this. it was rejected by the courts and that was a big reason why biden was reluctant to do it and wanted to do it through through congress, but congress is perennially stuff yeah, i mean, i think that some of this, we should see as an acknowledgment from the biden white house that some of their political arguments on immigration haven't so, when we look back to 2020, most of that democratic field was mostly saying that what republicans and donald trump was doing were bad, not really offering an affirmative vision that hasn't really been able to hold for democrats while in office, you've also seen after that sin and bipartisan compromise fail, the white house sable voters will blame republicans and donald trump for nuking this deal. >> and we haven't seen that really baer route and data to the point where we do see the white house making this action. and i think it's right to point out before the debate to be able to give the president something that insulate himself from republican attacks

priscilla alvarez is out front. she is live in wilmington, delaware and evan perez is outside the courthouse. i want to start with you, though, priscilla, because i know you've got some new reporting on this last-minute trip by president biden to delaware. so what is the biden family doing right now? how did this all come together as far as your learning era and the president and his family are huddling behind closed doors here in their residents wilmington tonight after the president rights only hours ago and was greeted by his son, hunter on the tarmac. >> now, this was a last-minute trip with sources telling cnn that it was floated late monday night, but came together after the verdict was reached and finalize with the president arriving here again, only a couple well hours ago. but of course this is a family that has often come together over the course of the trial. the first lady in the courtroom, multiple times as these legal proceedings were underway and even coming back from france briefly to attend the tria

priscilla alvarez is out front. she is live in wilmington, delaware and evan perez is outside the courthouse. i want to start with you, though, priscilla, because i know you've got some new porting on this last-minute trip by president biden to delaware. so what is the biden family doing right now? how did this all come together as far as you're learning? >> aaron, the president and his family are huddling behind closed doors here in their residents in wilmington tonight after the president rights only hours ago and was greeted by his son, hunter on the tarmac. now, this was a last-minute trip with sources telling cnn that it was floated late monday night, but came together after the verdict was reached and finalize with the president arriving here again, only a couple of hours ago. but of course this is a family that has often come together over the course of the trial. the first lady in the courtroom, multiple times as these legal proceedings were underway and even coming back from france briefly to attend the tri

. >> let's go to cnn's priscilla alvarez at the white house. priscilla, i know you have some new reporting on biden's plan to go on the offensive. what can you tell? us yeah, that's right. >> look, sources told me that immigration isn't that defining issue for the biden campaign going into this debate, but there's certainly preparing the president for, of course, the white house has released are rolled out a series of announcements over recent weeks, and that was no coincidence. this was part of their timing that executive action clamping down on asylum axis at the u.s. southern border and also giving a pathway to citizenship for certain spouses and children of us citizens in the u.s. now of course, all of this, again, trying to blend any attacks wrong. former president donald trump, and allies in the meantime, have been trying to tell the campaign how to blunt those attacks, knowing that the former president is going to talk about, for example migrant crime. but again, all of this is still part of the broader preparations that are ongoing righ

priscilla just had maria make the case that this verdict actually, in the end has really any real effect on this race. >> so i will say this, i don't think any of us really know what kind of effect this is going to have long term we have seen past polls and the most recent poll that does say that a lot of independence and a smidgen of republicans would think twice about putting a convicted felon as president of the united states. i think the biden campaign is being very smart in both making sure to hit that balance. and i think they were pitch perfect right after the verdict but also moving forward, not counting either on this trial or on any of the others where we're trump was font was indicted and found guilty of a gazillion. other charges because they need to focus on two things, making sure that americans understand what they have done. the massive accomplishments that they have put them in place for american voters on the economy and on other issues, healthcare student loans, et cetera. but also making the case that they know that things are not easy for everyone, that not everyone

alvarez standing by in delaware with the latest priscilla, what are you hearing so far this morning well, john, over the last several hours, the president and his family have been huddled together behind closed doors at their residents here in wilmington, delaware for a last-minute trip, the president deciding to come after the verdict was reached just yesterday. and as you said, embracing his son, hunter on the tarmac, of course, this is a family that has often come together over the course of this trial as some is their some of their most intimate personal struggles were put on disk blade. this is what the spiritual adviser and family friend of the family friend had this to say about how this unfolded within the family and. >> he said that let justice play out. >> and whatever the decision was of the jewelry, he would respect and accept the decision. >> but when i saw him come home tonight and embraced his son i saw the power of love president and first lady. they love hunter. and we love him and we will continue to walk alongside him with the ministry of presence now, the preside

alvarez is live from the white house and priscilla, i said that trump tried to use while he was in office. tell us about this executive action that's right, president biden taking a page from cms playbook here and doing something he tried to do back in 2018, but really clamping down on unlawful border crossing. >> the president. clearly here trying to head on one of his biggest political vulnerabilities by taking this executive action. now what does it include? it shuts off asylum access for migrants crossing the border illegally when i daily threshold of 2,500 is then it falls back to going back to how it is now when it's at 1,500. now this ends up being mexico turning back migrants to mexico or removing migrants to their origin countries unaccompanied children are exempt from this senior administration officials say they expect this to take effect immediately because we have already hit that threshold and a source telling me moments ago that president biden and mexican president andres manuel lopez obrador are expected to talk about this exact action later today, but briana, this of cou

let's bring in cnn's priscilla alvarez, priscilla what more can you tell us about this fundraiser and biden's messages well, this was yet another opportunity for president biden to underscore the stakes of this election. >> but this time, he focused specifically on the supreme court and said that over the next four years, there will likely be openings on the supreme court and pose the question of what would happen if donald time if donald trump, donald trump were to win reelection. so casting it that way, uh, specifically in a moment where the overturning of roe v. wade is top of mind. and also when the campaign is trying to galvanize voters on this exact issue. here's what he said. >> next president is likely to have two new supreme court nominees, two more, two molar. he's already appointed to the are been very negative in terms of the rights of individuals the idea that if he's reelected, he's going to appoint two more foreign flags upside down is really, i'm i really mean it, there's this be good, this be the scariest part of all of it. >> well, i think it is one of the scariest p

alvarez and priscilla national security spokesman john kirby. today's seem to brush aside any negative reaction from israel on this potential deal which the president said had come from israel and been crafted by them. >> that's right. and generally us officials have tried to strike a tone of optimism when talking about this deal. and reaching an agreement again, because they do see it as a priority. but it was the president putting enormous public pressure on all parties involved to reach an agreement. and john kirby, the national security council spokesperson, said, earlier today, there's still awaiting the official response from hamas. >> take a listen. >> where. we are right, now. is that proposal and israeli proposal has been given to hamas. it was done on thursday night, our time we're waiting for an official response from hamas. we would note that publicly hamas officials came out and welcome to this proposal. we have every expectation that if hamas agrees to the proposal, as was transmitted to them and israeli proposal that israel would

but first, let's go to cnn's priscilla alvarez. she's over at the white house worse, priscilla, a major moved by the president on a hot-button issue in this rematch with donald trump well, a major move wolf with huge ramifications at the us southern border as migrants will have more difficulty seeking asylum as they have done before. >> all of this, of course, coming only weeks before the first presidential debate. and ahead of the november election president joe biden took his most dramatic move yet on the us southern border, tuesday, as he tries to address one of his biggest political vulnerabilities head-on before november. >> i'm moving past republican obstruction. usually the executive authorities available to me as president do it i can on my own to address the border, this sweeping executive action announced by the president shuts off access to asylum to migrants crossing the border illegally when a daily threshold of 2,500 is met resulting in people turn back to mexico or removed to their origin country on accompany childre

priscilla, this is a historic speech for biden's presidency. it also encapsulates his argument for why voters should choose him over former president trump brianna, the preservation of freedom and democracy has been a hallmark of president joe biden's reelection campaign and something he has talked about at length over the course of the year, but the location of these remarks was significant and it was also the same spot that 40 years ago, present didn't ronald reagan talked about the threats of isolationism. >> now, the president in his remarks, also commemorated the heroism of 1944, but he also tied it to the challenges of today. and while he did not name donald trump, he certainly offered some subtext about his republican rival, who has embraced authoritarians, who it's also moved toward isolationism and who has disparaged veterans tying all of this to the stakes of the moment is anyone doubt? >> but they would want america to stand up against putin's aggression here in europe today. they stormed the beaches long alongside our allies does an

priscilla i think you mean, i'll take this one no, it's okay. >> luck. i think donald trump was very pleased with how yesterday when with his meetings with house and senate republicans, when i talked donald trump's campaign they really got what they they wanted, which was unity going in to thursday. his team had told me repeatedly that they wanted this to be a show of unity behind donald trump. they wanted to see these members lining up behind him and showing them his support, including those who have criticized him or who have even said that they may not vote for him. the upcoming election and essentially that is what we saw. and you mentioned the birthday celebrations. there and the house republican meeting first in the morning, they sang happy birthday to him. later, they presented him with a cake and the senate republican meeting. and it really was kind of this rah, rah pep valley vibe of sort i was told pulled from sources in the room. so again, i think his team was very pleased that but just to discuss the age factor, sara, i think this is really s

alvarez joins us now with more so priscilla, what does the white house hope to gain during president biden's visit to france well, this is certainly an opportunity for the united states to reaffirm its leadership on the world stage. that is something that president biden sought out to do as soon as he took office back in 2021. and this is getting another opportunity to do that. and as you mentioned, after he commemorates the 80th anniversary of d-day, he is going to deliver remarks about the importance of democracy and freedom. this according to the white house and this is something that the president has sought to do on the campaign trail and something that we are now going to see him take to the world stage that argument, that it is important to preserve democracy, something that the president and his campaign has said is at risk if former president donald trump were to take a second term. in fact, he has said in fundraisers with donors that world leaders have told him that his republican rival can't take a second term, given the risks that it does pose to democracy. so those theme

cnn course upon and for so alvarez joins us now and now priscilla biden obviously had some sharp criticisms of trump over the course of this, but also seem to focus a lot of his attacks on the supreme court as well. >> he did the warnings war of a second, donald trump presidency. but this time is very much focused on the supreme court, the president's argument being that over the next four years, there could be vague you can see it's on the supreme court and posing the question as to what that would mean if donald trump were the president, take a listen look the supreme court has never been as out of kilter as it is today after the decision that overrule roe v. wade the dobbs decision, you clarence thomas talking about the fact that there are going to be other things we should reconsider, including in vitro fertilization, including contraception including all these things so you hear him talking there about reproductive freedoms that has been a galvanizing issue for democrats. and the biden campaign when they fanned out across the country to say, look, if donald trump is re-elected, it's go

jury cnn correspondent priscilla alvarez joins us now. all right. so priscilla biden, obviously you had some pretty sharp criticisms of trump, which i think was to be expected, but also the supreme court yeah, this was a scenario in which he warned about a second donald trump presidency, but he focused it's specifically on the supreme court saying that its potentially it's possible that in the next four years are we openings on the supreme court? >> and what does that mean if donald trump? is in a second term during that period of time, he called it one of the scariest parts. take a listen the next president is likely to have two new supreme court nominees two more two molar. >> he's already appointed to that. >> have been very negative in terms of the rights of individuals the idea that if he's reelected, he's going to appoint two more foreign flags upside down is really, i'm i really mean it. this fee could this be the scariest part of all of it? >> well, i think it is one of the scariest parts of a look. the supreme court has never been as out of

and priscilla alvarez have been tracking all the latest developments. paul, let's go to you. >> urine in tel aviv, were there also is some sort of demonstration or protests happening? >> explain yeah, fred. >> so this is the weekly protests that we have been seeing in recent weeks and months sub partly with the families of the hostages that are still being held, calling for their release and also in great part, calling for the government to collapse calling from benjamin netanyahu to step down. now there have been some family members of those still being held in gaza who've made some speeches tonight and it is interesting because the overall theme has been obviously very welcoming that there are four hostages that have been rescued earlier this summer today. but overwhelmingly that there needs to be a ceasefire deal in order to be able to release the final 120 who are still being held in gaza. there was the cousin of one hostage who is deceased, that there remains are being held by hamas militants saying not everybody is getting a hollywood ending, poin

. >> cnn's priscilla alvarez has more the united states on saturday commending israel for its rescue of four hostages with president biden welcoming the use alongside the french president. i don't want to echo president macron comments welcoming the safe rescue of four hostages we're returned to their families. it is you won't stop working until all the hostages come home and a ceasefire is reached. that is essential to happen. >> a us official tells cnn that an american cell in israel supported the rescue efforts, working with israeli forces. that and reference to a team that has been assisting israel since october 7, to information gather on hostages. but a source also confirming to cnn that there were no us boots on the ground in this mission. now, of course, the u.s. has it's been pushing for a hostage deal that would also include a ceasefire in gaza. president biden himself outlining that three-phase proposal that again would include the release of all hostages and a temporary ceasefire and potentially a permanent ceasefire in gaza. in fact, just this week u.s. and 16 other coun

priscilla alvarez. great to see you. thanks so much with us now is seen in political analysts, julian zelizer, a historian and professor at princeton university, great to have you here in the studio with us. >> i think it's fair to say we've seen a lot of comments from republican lawmakers that are meant to appeal directly to former president trump we've seen them call out the judicial system. we've, we've seen a rain, not say they won't on its face except the election results, things like that. what do you make of the gop, these elected leaders in the gop doing this sort of thing? >> it's predictable. we've now seen it with two impeachments with an effort to overturn the election. and with all four indictments, there's usually a moment of outrage were venting, but then they rally around the president and embrace his rhetoric this time they generally skip the outrage and went right to rally around him. so this is where modern republican politics have landed. and there's little distance between the former president and th

. >> we're now from cnn's priscilla alvarez at the white house four. about what the new executive order and towels will anderson this is a sweeping measure that will essentially have huge ramifications at the us-mexico border for migrants who are seeking asylum, what it does is it shuts off asylum access for migrants who cross the border illegally when there's a daily threshold, men of 2,500, that means that border authorities can turn people back to mexico or remove them to their country of origin. now there are some exemptions for unaccompanied migrant children and select others. but senior ministration officials say this is going to take effect immediately and it's already having fierce backlash from progressives and members of president biden's own party who say this is a page from donald trump's playbook and indeed present or if former president donald trump did try to do this exact thing in 2018 using the same authority, but was eventually blocked by the courts. now, of course, the timing here is notable, were only a few weeks away from the first

so priscilla, i mean, biden had some pretty sharp criticisms of trump, which again maybe was to be expected, but also of the supreme court as well. >> yeah, he underscored the stakes of the election again, as he's done before, but he focused it specifically on the supreme court, essentially saying but over the next four years, there could be openings on the supreme court and posing the question as to what happens if donald trump isn't a second term when that's the case, and if he puts more conservative justices on the court given the decisions that we've already seen so far, take a lesson. >> look. >> the supreme court has never been as out of kilter as it is today after the decision that overrule roe v. wade, the dobbs decision, you had clarence thomas talking about the fact that there. are gonna be other things we should reconsider, including in vitro fertilization, including contraception, including all these things reproductive freedoms has been a galvanizing issue for the biden campaign. >> it's one that they have fanned out across the country to remind voters first that that is also a
