10:00 am
ext two to three days. we could see deliberations in the final phase beginning at the end of this week, ashashleigh? >> and they have been death qualified so this is one of those tough times. ana cabrera, thank you for that. appreciate it. thank you everybody for watching. brianna keilar is going to take it from here. i'll see you again tomorrow. i'm brianna keilar in for wolf blitzer. it's 1:00 p.m. in washington, 6:00 p.m. in london and 8:00 p.m. in jerusalem. wherever you're watching from around the world, thanks so much for joining us. up first, republican presidential contenders get a dress rehearsal ahead of this week's debate. the format was different and one big name was totebly absent but last night's forum in new hampshire gave the candidates a chance to take aim at hillary clinton and the obama administration and to tackle
10:01 am
issues like social security and illegal immigration. >> those that have overstayed their visas, you can find them pick them up and send them back where they're from. >> if they violate the law they have to be deported or put in prison. >> i don't think this administration is serious about border security or protecting working men and women. >> we need to increase the retirement age over a period of time. if you've done well in this country, we need you to not take a social security check. >> they try to divide us by gender by race by income by geography. look we're all americans. >> president obama recently referred to isis as the j.v. team. >> this president has admit wed don't have a strategy as it relates to isis. that's pretty amazing. >> i'm the only republican leading hillary clinton in pennsylvania and it's because i am different. >> she has as well lied about her servers and the kinds of information she had on her server and why she kept everything on a single device. >> i'm fluent in clinton speak. you want know translate? when bill says "i didn't have
10:02 am
sex with that woman" he did. when she tells us "trust me you've got all the e-mails you need" we haven't even scratched the surface. >> one of the more colorful moments of that forum there. joining us to talk more about it and a preview of thursday's debate cnn political director david chalian, former republican presidential candidate and former utah governor jon huntsman and former michigan governor jennifer granholm, the host of "the war room." david, i want to start with you. tell us what you thought about lindsey graham bringing up the monica lewinsky scandal. >> that's what's referred to as red meat brianna. when you are trying to get your name out there and get tried and true republicans around to your cause, these primary voters in new hampshire, there's nothing that works quite as well as bashing the clintons of course. so bringing up bill clinton's past with mc, the e-mail controversy with hillary clinton, that's what they want to hear. actually they want to hear that much more than they want to see
10:03 am
republican on republican fighting and last night's forum which as you saw was one on one, not like we'll see on thursday with a full debate stage allowed for that kind of rhetoric to appeal to the crowd. >> as you watch this forum, who did you think did well? who did you think struggled? >> i thought several of them did well. john kasich talking about balanced budget which is a important fiscal conservative issue in new hampshire. that's something new hampshire republicans identify with and because he's sort of the last entrant into the field that was participating, this was a big moment for him of introduction that went well. i also thought chris christie acquitted himself well. as you know he's in a new hampshire or bust strategy and he said he's like the uncle at thanksgiving dinner coming early and staying late. and i think that's how new hampshire voters will get to know him because he'll be spending time up there. >> we all know that guy. i want to see what you think about this moment for jeb bush.
10:04 am
he was talking about how to differentiate himself from his brother and from his father, a question that he was asked. here was his answer. >> my dad is probably the most perfect man alive so it's very hard for me to be critical of him. in fact i got a t-shirt that says -- at the jeb swag store -- that says "i'm the -- i'm the -- my dad is the greatest man alive, if you don't like it i'll take you outside." >> okay great that for us chalian. >> well i would not say jeb bush has a very good future as a joke teller perhaps. he clearly was a little nervous there searching for a punch line. that didn't work out as a moment but i don't think it was disastrous. but it raises the question that we have asked about jeb bush which is remember he's been off the stage for a while so i think he may have shown there a little rustiness in these public forums. it's different than a small
10:05 am
group of supporters on the campaign trail and he seems nervous so it makes me wonder what kind of style is jeb bush will bring to the stage thursday night. >> and we'll watch with you, david chalian, cnn political director thank you. i want to talk more about the republican race what we can expect during the primary debate with jon huntsman a former presidential candidate, the former governor of utah. you know what it's like governor to be on a stage like this. i wonder -- you were at the point where you were one of the guys who was on the end of the line. you were trying to make a moment capitalize on that grow your numbers in the polls. as you look at someone like chris christie or john kasich doing the same, what's your advice to them? >> my advice for the early primaries, both iowa and new hampshire is you have to show well in the debate you have to say things that reflect who you are, what you believe in and what you've done your track record. at the same time you have to be very good about building out that grass-roots foundation.
10:06 am
we're talking about public stuff here. with trump in the race it become asahi profile public spectacle but the race will be won or last base tonight work that is done largely invisible, at the grass-roots level, bringing on volunteers convincing people to vote for you, hand shake by hand shake, ads placed in the local papers and that's unseen. you have to balance those two, a strong grass-roots game along with a clear-cut vision and convincing presentation on the debate stage. >> the organization matters as much as these public appearances. >> no question about. >> it so if you were on this stage and you are facing a donald trump and it's anyone's guess how he shows up thursday night, how would you prepare and execute depending on what you're nationing? >> far be it from me to give advice to these folks. >> just from your perspective. if you were facing this how would you approach this? >> i think what you're seeing is last night there's a clear
10:07 am
difference between the governors in the group and the senators. the senators have pre-packaged soundbites as if they're attending a committee hearing, the governors have a record they're bringing to the table. trump that has a good record in business. he has a very good record as a showman. he's excellent in those categories he doesn't have a record fixing things for people in states that matter whether it's education, social service, whether it's the economy. you've got governors on the stage and if i were one of them and i was a governor you bring to the table convincing victories. it's how you package them how you differentiate yourself from trump, which is the public spectacle and he does that remarkably well. but governors spring to the table something that is quite unique and it will be in huge demand in the 2016 election cycle. we're looking for problem solvers, solutions to the basics like jobs and a balanced budget and entitlements. that's clearly an area where a governor can differentiate
10:08 am
himself from the rest of the pack. >> differentiate yourself but i've heard so many people say you need to harness some of this energy that trump has been able to harness. >> no question about it. >> disaffected republican base voters. >> you're right. >> from your perspective, you are a more moderate republican you struggled in the primaries with something we're seeing. well i wonder if you think jeb bush is struggling with this really tapping into this sort of disaffected republican base voter that is going to be so key during this primary battle. >> two-thirds of the american public think the nation is on the wrong track. which means you have to afternoon it up a little bit. this is not a regular election cycle is we're making history. we've never seen this opening before. not for the republican party, i think not for the issues that are salient and important so somebody like governor bush and the rest of them they have to find their sweet spot and they have to deliver with passion. they have to articulate in the a way that afternoons it up. and i think don trump is
10:09 am
teaching everybody that message about passion, you have to be authentic. the one thing trump has is authenticity. for all of his faults and everything people point out, he's authentic and people see him as a job creator, people see him as somebody who blef noose what he's saying. that's the message loud and clear. afternoon up your message, make it matter deliver in the ways that capture people's imagination. >> it's a lesson to be learned from the major front-runner at this point. governor huntsman really appreciate it. joining us with more perspective on the debate and the primary battle we have former michigan governor jennifer granholm. let's talk about donald trump, governor he was the el haven't in the room who wasn't actually there at this forum. it's fascinating, some people may not recall -- i know you sure do -- that you were the stand in for sarah palin during vice president joe biden's 2008 debate prep. what advice would you give to these other candidates in how to deal with someone like donald trump who certainly has some appeal but maybe he doesn't have
10:10 am
certain areas of accomplishment that they don't and also he's such a big personality. >> first of all, every candidate has one minute to answer any question and then 30 seconds in rebuttal. so whatever you say you better be practicing your language so it's crisp and clear. you answer the question. you site something you've done to validate yourself and then you fifth and create a memorable moment, whether it's a zinger or some kind of attack on somebody else. now if you're donald trump, you are -- everybody expects you to come in with bombast. what if he surprises people? if i were on his team -- which i'm not -- but if i were i would say how do we enlarge the base of people and not just sit on this lead but grow it? i would want to go in and surprise people babying substantive and thoughtful and more humor is always good. if i'm jeb bush i do not want this guy to take my followers
10:11 am
away so i want perhaps with humor to goad him a little to be more like trump and that might turn off the voters who have a negative opinion of him of which, by the way, there still is a huge number. so he's got a lot of work to do so you might want to poke the bear if you are on the other side. but if you're donald surprise people. he tells people brianna, he's not practicing? i think that's total bs. that guy is practicing he is a showman and he'll come in with zingers and lines and hopefully for him some policies so he can establish his own bona fides. >> maybe he's managing those expectations. >> for sure for sure. >> so you say maybe poke the bear but donald trump has said look i'm not going to punch but i'm going to counterpunch. how do you prepare for someone like that counterpunching at you. >> right. it's a balance, right? but if you poke him and he comes back at you in an over-the-top
10:12 am
way, perhaps that makes your point that he is not fit to serve as commander-in-chief. what you want to do is to have people thinking about donald trump's finger on the button. do you want somebody who is very irrational? my guess is he is a showman, yes, but trump is not going to come in and allow himself to be manipulated to look irrational and wild. but who knows with this guy. everybody will be watching. i think everybody will be watching and hoping for this great reality show drama and i'm sure there will be a few moments but my guess is people might be disappointed because the moderators have to give somewhat equal time to all of the candidates. there's ten of them on there. as we saw last night the new hampshire debate everybody just gets a little bit. so it will be an interesting night. >> it will be. we'll watch along with you. governor granholm that you can
10:13 am
so much. donald trump is getting a taste of his own medicine. the presidential candidates phone number posted on the internet for everyone to see. it's a move that comes roughly two weeks after trump gave out senator lindsey graham's number at a rally in south carolina. graham you may recall responded by releasing this. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ that video had been seen millions of times online. it's created buzz for graham he's trailing trump in every poll. coming up who's behind the latest phone number stunt plus trump's somewhat surprising reaction, next. big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel.

we'll find out later today which republican presidential candidates make the cut for thursday's prime time debate. the host network, fox news says only the top ten candidates will get to take part. donald trump is a shoe-in. a new fox news poll shows him with 26% support. jeb bush is the only other candidate in double digits at 15%. you have new jersey governor chris christie and ohio governor john kasich rounding out the top ten. these results mirror the latest cnn poll of polls. it's an average of the five most recent surveys. i want to bring in cnn's senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny and senior media correspondent brian stelter, the host of cnn's "reliable sources." jeff right now it looks like it's a bummer mere for the people who aren't going to make the cut. it looks like rick perry might not. how significant a setback is that for his campaign? >> it's certainly not a good thing if you're rick perry. particularly because he's been trying to make a centerpiece of
10:19 am
his message going after donald trump, hissing his message is not a conservative message. if he's not on the stage with the ability to do that it minimizes the as yens he'll have. but on the other hand debates are not the strongest suit for rick perry. we certainly saw that in 2012 when he was running. he had that famous moment the oops moment. but, look he certainly thought he would be on this debate stage and wanted to be. but i'm also not sure. if you're the top candidate or one of the top candidates in the other debate the first debate happening at 5:00 you have a chance to get your message out there. so he will be standing side by side with lindsey graham and carly fiorina and the others so he'll get his opportunity. but it sets the mold he is not a tier-a candidate. >> you're hearing about the rules that fox is newsing to figure without takes part in the debate.
10:20 am
give us a sense of these. >> it's become louder in recent days from both candidates but also pollsters. some poller thes who say this is not what our polls are meant to be used for. these polls we've been showing on screen some have sample sizes of about 500 robe voters people weighing in in these polls. that's not a giant sample. when you're talking about the difference between having 1% 20% or 30% or 4% support, that comes down to a few people being phone bud fox is using an average of five different polls. that i haven't said which ones. >> they say they won't decide before the deadline but we have a good sense of what they'll be using and that's why it appears rick perry will be number 11. fox had to do something. cnn has a debate next month. cnn has to do something. cnn's choice is a little different. both tiers, the lore and ss the lower and upper, will be in prime time. but these networks have to do something to make it a
10:21 am
manageable debate. even with ten podiums on the stage, that will be a lot to manage. >> it is a crowded field even with seven folks not on that main stage. is i want to ask you about something different here donald trump came under fire when he gave out senator graham's cell phone number during a campaign event. gawker published one of trump's old cell phone numbers yesterday and he turned it into a campaign plug listen to his answering machine message. >> hi this is donald trump and i'm running for the presidency of the united states of america. with your help and support together we can make america truly great again visit me on twitter @realdonald trump and check out my campaign site at www.donaldtrump.com. hope the see you on the campaign trail. we're going to do it. >> i don't know jeff i'd say that's savvy right there. >> no doubt. it just underscores the fact that he of all candidates is the
10:22 am
most comfortable being a showman. if you think of the presidential campaign certainly a debate and these other things as a television show which, in some respects it is donald trump has the most experience across the board trying to present himself and showcase himself. brianna, this is the latest example of doing that. i'm not sure how many people are going to call hiss cell phone up but we're talking about it and it's a clever way to sort of push back at what should have been a negative. it's very clever. >> a clever gimmick. jeff zeleny brian stelter, thanks to both of you. >> thanks. up next, the death toll is climbing after an outbreak of legionnaires disease in new york. we'll get an update on what authorities are doing to keep people safe. and later, saving from a public toilet. police pull out a newborn baby now clinging to life. but the shocking rescue points to a bigger problem and we'll be taking a closer look.
10:23 am
10:24 am
10:25 am
10:26 am
10:27 am
as now claimed seven lives. authorities say all of the victims were older adults with underlying medical conditions. 86 cases of legionnaires have now been reported since the outbreak began in early july. it's been clustered around five buildings in the south bronx, this includes a hospital and a hotel and within the last couple of hours, new york mayor bill de blasio addressed the situation and said the city has been aggressively testing buildings in the cluster area. >> five buildings have tested positivezsitive for legionella and decontamination has been completed at all sites. those are the only five sites that we have evidence of contamination for. >> i want to bring in dr. anthony fauci, the director of
10:28 am
the national institute of infebruary diseases at the national institutes of health. so far you have five buildings that have tested positive. what is this? a lot of people haven't heard of legionnaires' and they don't knee why it's so deadly. >> well it's a bacteria called legionella pneumo. it's not spread from person to person. so as the mayor said the approach would be to identified these cooling towers where there's back this bacteria seems to thrive. the bacteria thrives in warm water, particularly water that's stagnant stagnant such as water you might see in a not well attended water towers. cleaning out and decam nate
10:29 am
nating the towers is the way to go which is what the officials are doing right now. >> this outbreak began in early july. why did it takes so long to figure out where this started? >> well first of all, it's -- this is the kind of infection that isn't particularly obvious like flu and people start coughing on each other. this isn't spread that way. this is something in the environment. so when you see people getting sick you can have a suspicion of what it is but you have to identify the environmental source which they were able to do because the bacteria in an unusual way tends to spread by getting in the aerosolized or the vapor of water as it comes off these water towers. it's not the easiest thing in the world to pinpoint they tested 17 tower, they found the bacteria in five of the 17 and
10:30 am
they immediately decontaminated those towers. s. >> explain to us, you have these towers that are being decontaminated why do we see new cases? >> you see -- that's a very good question you see new cases because the incubation period from the time you get exposed to the time you get infected is anywhere from two to four 14-days. so if i were to get exposed today, i could get sick anywhere up to two weeks from now. so even though the towers might get decontaminated tomorrow you can get sick several days after w5rd because of the relatively long incubation period. >> dr. anthony fauci, thanks so much for coming on with us. really appreciate it. still ahead, the democratic race for the nomination starting to heat up. the gloves starting to come off as hillary clinton throws a jab at rival bernie sanders

. the democratic race is also heating up. [ a new poll from nbc and the "wall street journal," voters' view of hillary clinton down from june to july. while clinton's favorability numbers are dropping support for bernie sanders is growing. more than 100,000 people tuned into his nationwide simulcast last week adding the possibility of vice president joe biden entering the race, a lot of talk about that perhaps. you have a pretty interesting dynamic. i want to bring in our panel. i'm joined by cnn political commentator van jones,
10:36 am
republican consultant alex cast castellanos and jennifer granholm joining us from california. van, we saw hillary clinton say during a discussion with the chairman of the south carolina democratic part yeey. this is a bit of a hit against bernie sanders. let's watch. >> this is fuelled in large measure by young people. and it is a particular develop mt development in the civil rights movement that deserves our support. by that i mean there are some who say, well, you know racism is a result of economic inequality. i don't believe that. >> there are some who say. now she doesn't say bernie sanders, but that niece the trent seize there, right? why go after him? >> this is smart on her part. our party has three different factions. there's the more mainstream moderate faction.
10:37 am
she's associated with that. there is this populist economic faction, elizabeth warren bernie sanders, de blasio, but -- and sanders is already there. the danger is can sanders tap into the third part of the party, this rising racial justice young movement, black lives matter the dreamers. if sanders can connect with that he is going to be able a threat to her he made a huge mistake when he gave a speech that implied that hey, economics is all that matters, racism is secondary. she's trying to capitalize on that and stop him, head him off at the pass. if bernie sanders can tap into that young momentum, she's in big trouble and she knows it. >> even though she's not using his name and when i interviewed intervieweder ininterviewed intervieweder in in iowa i asked her straight up about bernie sanders multiple times, she won't use his name. you think this is a good thing for him? >> it's telling. how do you know somebody is a a serious opponent? you attack them. how do you know they are a threat? you have to deal with them. so bernie sanders is growing and it's a smart thing for hillary
10:38 am
but she has no choice now but to confront bernie sanders. >> let's talk about a possible joe biden candidacy. general ferks governor granholm you were vice president biden's debate prep partner back in 2008. do you have insight into whether he might run? whether he should run. >> no i don't honestly have any insight into whether he will. let me just say, everybody, team clinton, team sanders the democratic party, we all love joe biden joe biden. love him. let him make his decision in n whatever time he needs to make it. he's going to make his decision to the best way that meets the needs of his family given what he's gone through. >> we understand this something
10:39 am
bo biden requested of him. i know that will weigh heavily on his decision. if he does run, governor. how does he gate lock on donors? and on organization when hillary clinton is -- she's got a lock on it. >> she has got such a huge amount of support in that nbc/"wall street journal" poll that you cited earlier. i mean she is 31 points ahead of the rest of the democratic field with everybody included so it's a -- it would be a tough row for anybody to get in against somebody who is forbiddable. i know that team clinton welcomes the competition from anybody and is not afraid of that. and will be doing but what they do best which is to run their own race. >> she said it will be a
10:40 am
competitive primary, but i think it's become more competitive than she probably thought. >> i know people are saying biden, don't run, don't run it will mess up your legacy but people are saying you are wrong. >> her numbers aren't weak though she's 31 points up the rest of the field. this she's way ahead of bernie sanders. >> there's this thing in politics called voters and some candidates -- >> tell me a l lex. >> there's a lot of them. >> there's million upon millions. >> some candidates are better at connecting with them than others. when there's a populist fire frankly, in both parties you have to connect with that.
10:41 am
hillary has many great qualities -- strength perseverance, but she is not a people person. she does not -- she has a certain regal quality to her. her first tv spot is designed to human's her with a shocking news that she has a mother. so very mechanical kind of candidate. joe biden about 150% human. he is a people guy. he's very accessible that way so i think he goes at that populist fire. it works for him. >> and i know that's why you think he has a lane. but from republicans perspective, what do republicans think about a biden candidacy? >> well it's always entertaining. but frankly -- >> so they welcome it? do they think think will meet joe biden? >> this will surely kill joe biden. if you ask anybody in the senate, he's a guy in who keeps his word. that's the first thing i heard when i went to washington 40 years ago. he's entertaining. he's eratic
10:42 am
>> they would tear him apart on -- it would be a grab bag for republicans to pull out every goofy thing he's ever done. >> i gave up trying to pick your opponent. it never works out. >> i see you're on opposite sides of the fight. we will talk more about that in the days to come. alex castellanos, van jones, governor granholm thanks for-to-all of you. if for latest in politics head to cnnpolitics.com. great conversation there. still ahead, a disturbing discovery in a public toilet in china. a baby struggling to survive moments after birth. we'll take you there life. this is also a bigger issue and we'll discuss that next.

we turn to a heartbreaking story out of beijing. police say a newborn baby girl abandoned face down they founder in a public toilet. as cnn's will ripley shows us, the rescue was caught on tape and we warn you, some of the i believe imagines you're about to see are disturbing. >> reporter: no child should come into the world like this. pulled from a public toilet by a beijing police officer. neighbors called when they heard the newborn crying wrapped in a blanket. she's safe. her mother gone. >> translator: i think it's brutal for a mother to do this. >> reporter: he says a young woman walked eded out alone moments before neighbors heard the crying. "she was acting normally" he says.
10:48 am
thousands of people live in this back alley in the chinese capital. nobody recognized the woman who left before police arrived. when the breeze blows through these narrow back alleys especially on hot summer days like this it carries with it the stench from the single public restroom that pretty much everyone here shares. and when you step inside, it really hits you, the smell, the heat is that much more intense. and you look at these holes in the ground and think this is where a little girl, a baby came into the world. a migrant construction worker from eastern china heard his neighbors calling for help. he followed police into the toilet, pulled out his phone and started recording. he asked us not to show his face. "i feel so torn and sad" he says. "words can't describe it. how could something like this happen?" parents abandon thousands of babies each year in china. children left in trash bins toilets are the rare worst
10:49 am
cases. in twird, rescuers saved another newborn, a boy found alive inside a toilet pipe. his 22-year-old single mother told policeembarrassed. the boy survived. others have not. the chinese government set up what they call baby hatches for parents to leave unwanted children but they're so overwhelmed workers have to turn many parents away. experts say nearly all abandoned children have disabilities or medical conditions. most end up in orphanages. parents who can't afford health care may feel they have no other choice. can you ever forget seeing something like that?
