on their devices. order up. it's more than just wifi, it can help grow your business. you don't see that every day. introducing wifi pro, wifi that helps grow your business. comcast business. built for business. good evening. action tonight on the streets of brussels. also just outside paris, anti-terror raids including what you are looking at right here at an apartment in the schaerbeek section. these are live pictures. no one taken into custody here, but multiple arrests elsewhere including three people taken into custody just outside the headquarters of the belgian federal prosecutor's office. there's that. what you see unfieolding right w in live pictures. a raid of some kind in
6:02 pm
schaerbeek, as well as new evidence suggesting the horror in brussels may have been just one element of a larger plot, just one in a string of possible imminent attacks. a lot to cover. a lot of it is new to us and ongoing right now. first to nick paton walsh who is in that schaerbeek section of brussels right now. give us a sense of what you are seeing. what exactly is going on there? >> right now behind us there are still a forensic officer in the top floor of this building here in white overalls with an orange vest. he came out a lot of times. a lot of taeattention paid to t top floor and other floors as well. most likely forensic across that building. this started a few hours ago. some local residents saying they had perhaps heard helicopter in the skies. but a large part of this area encircled by police. people kept very far back. locals let back into their homes and police officer telling me
6:03 pm
that it was that building there that is the key part of their focus. were there arrests here? it isn't clear at this stage. locals describing how police moved in, there was a pause and an explosion. wasn't clear the purpose of that. maybe used to gain entry somehow. maybe people were taken away. the reports are conflicting at this point. the six arrests were today. it's about the airport and metro attacks without a doubt. the key question is what was behind me in that building that such -- draws such police focus now. >> we saw someone peering out of that window. a lot of activity behind that window for some time now. unclear whether there are any arrests at this building, but as many as six arrests throughout the city. what do we know about those arrests? >> little at this point. three outside the federal prosecutor's office.
6:04 pm
one thought to be in a neighborhood called jefi. those watching this raid kept very far back until a number of vans and police began to move away. we saw a car being towed away. it was pretty much exactly where i'm standing. a lot of evidence being collected at this stage. do we think it's directed toward the two men they are looking for, the man in white in the airport cctv and the man outside the metro station carrying a large bag? that's not clear but a visible and lengthy presence across part of this neighborhood cordoned off as these raids began. >> hold on to that thought about the fugitives. but remind us about this neighborhood, the schaerbeek neighborhood and the connection to the known suicide attack irs at the airport and metro station. >> it's about eight kilometers
6:05 pm
from where i'm standing where the two brothers, khalid and ibrahim bakraoui. ibrahim behind the airport blast. they lived not far from where i'm standing. we don't know at this point if there is any connection between them and this building behind me specifically or if a distant part of a cell or someone they've never met potentially involved. this is a neighborhood increasingly in the spotlight. people we speak to in this area have little to say frankly. some may not know who lived there. many in these neighborhoods are distant from each other or brief in the time they live in a neighborhood. much of the focus on the top floor. we don't know if this building is divided into three separate flats or one contiguous area where people live. >> 2:00 a.m. in the morning local time in brussels. the neighbors if they are there have to be wondering what is going on in that apartment
6:06 pm
building as the forensic scenes work feverishly behind the curtain. also looking at the walls. i want to bring in cnn senior international correspondent clarissa ward who was there with nick in the schaerbeek neighborhood. nick brought up the idea there are two fugitives now being sought by belgian investigators. that number has increased. it was one. now there are two. one from the airport we've seen in the light jacket and hat and also someone from the subway station itself. give us the latest. >> belgian authorities say they are actively searching for a second person in conjunction with these attacks. apparently according to belgian media, the man in question was seen in surveillance video outside the metro station where the second bombing took place. he reportly was carrying some type of a large bag and in the
6:07 pm
image he is also reportedly near to the bomber khalid bakraoui. at this stage we don't know anything more than that. we don't know the man's name. police have not released this surveillance image. at this stage they don't appear to be asking the public for any information regarding him. and we have definitely noticed a shift after these attacks with belgian authorities keeping very tight lipped about this investigation. not wanting to reveal too much to the media because essentially this is an active investigation with potentially a larger network still out there. they don't want media essentially speculating about the subject of various investigations that might be going on. they don't want people to be tipped off. for people on the ground here there's a sense of anxiety because there are still these people at large we know at least two, both the man who i just described for you who was seen outside the metro, and also, of
6:08 pm
course, the man whose image we've seen so many times from that airport surveillanceideo wearing that light colored jacket. also wearing glasses and a hat potentially and an attempt to conceal his face to disguise his face. and what was so noticeable about him is that he was not wearing a glove. the other two bombers were each wearing a glove. those gloves likely used to conceal a detsinator. it does not appear on the surface, and this is speculation, that's he intended to blow himself up. his suitcase full of explosives did not detonate, thereby probably saving many lives. these are the two men who are the focus of the manhunt. >> investigators are now being more tight lipped and playing their cards closer to the vest than they have in the past. there's this new surveillance video near the subway station yet they aren't releasing the pictures of that individual. are they saying why wouldn't it be useful for the public to get involved in looking for this
6:09 pm
individual? >> you know, it's fair to say, john, at this stage we're getting mixed messages from belgian officials. in the very same breath as we're hearing u.s. intelligence officials talk about the very real possibility of imminent threats, possibly here, possibly across the european continent, we're hearing belgian officials lowering the threat level from level four to level three. that is essentially lowering it from a possible imminent attack to simply a serious threat of attack. and i think more and more as we hear the details of this investigation and where very vital clues were missed, we're getting a picture essentially of some very serious intelligence failures. at least two of the men involved in these attacks were on a red alert. today we heard from the family of the bombmaker, one of the airport suicide bombers, najim laachraoui, the family in a press conference today saying we told the police back in 2013 that we knew our son had gone to
6:10 pm
syria. and yet nothing apparently was done about it, john. >> nick, clarissa, stand by as we continue to watch this ongoing operation in the schaerbeek neighborhood. we're joined by juliette kayyem and paul cruickshank and also special agent ollie supan, chairman of the supan group. in terms of this raid happening right now, give us a sense of what we're seeing there and how it fits into a much, much larger operation in brussels over the last few hours. >> this is a very significant raid tonight in brussels. several locations. sort of ongoing police operation. commandos have been involved. the army has been involved. helicopters have been involved at the various location. six people so far in custody. it appears none in custody at this address in schaerbeek, but three people taken into custody. three men in a vehicle right
6:11 pm
outside the belgian federal prosecutor headquarters building in the heart of brussels, very near the law courts. not clear why they were taken into custody. not clear if they posed any kind of threat at this hour, belgian authorities being very tight lipped on the circumstances. the others arrested at other locations in brussels all this came to light when the interior minister of belgium tweeted out that a major operation had led to this arrest. the fact you have the interior minister weighing in late in the night suggests that this is a major operation directed, as we understand, at the cell they suspect is behind these attacks. have they got key players? have they got some of those key suspects still at large? we don't know. it appears they were trying to
6:12 pm
get a hold of more information so that they could get more arrests in the hours ahead. that's why you are seeing a lot of these forensic operations going on right now dusting for fingerprints, collecting dna, going through any computer equipment or other things they might find for clues because the worry is there could be future attacks from this group of individuals in brussels in the days ahead. >> ollie supan, as we look at these pictures, i read a pretty sobering report from your group about belgium and about the anti-terror efforts right now and the terror situation in that country. do you sense that officials there are trying to turn the corner and get the upper hand, and do they have any sense of doing so. >> we've been talking about belgium for a while, specifically about brussels and
6:13 pm
molenbeek. they want to join the conflict zone. 20% to 30% of these people came back. the service in belgium is very small to handle that number. also, in the same time, you have legal constraints that prevent european governments from sharing information about their citizens with each other and with others. and they need to figure out a legal framework, a legal structure for better sharing information. we have that problem before 9/11, and it was rectified because of the disaster of 9/11. so what's happening now, what we see in brussels, i believe that we have an operation, ongoing operation. i believe that that operation has been ongoing from before the attacks. remember, the bust that happened, the raid that happened and resulted in the death of one of the senior operatives,
6:14 pm
mohamed belkaid and abdeslam. you are getting notes, forensics, and you are putting all these things together and using your human sources, your probably also technical and intelligence sources. you are using information that probably providing to them from other governments. and that's what's leading to all these raids that's happening across the country at this moment. >> this is one of a series of raids that we're told is going around, going on in the city of brussels over the last several hours. this one in the schaerbeek neighborhood of brussels. nick paton walsh and clarissa ward. we saw a flurry of activity, people going in and out of that building. any sense of what's going on? >> i think i just saw two individuals coming out carrying a pelican case that normally carries forensic equipment. one wearing light white staff
6:15 pm
vest of some kind of body armor. went out and came back in again a minute later. the door answered by a man clearly head to toe forensic gear. this is a lengthy forensic investigation. folks on the top floor where the curtains have now been drawn and it looks like those men have returned to the third floor now. >> and what you can't see, john, but there are quite a few people from this neighborhood who are gathered around here looking. we've tried to talk to a number of them and there's a real reluctance. understandably, people are tired of journalists. there's also a clear tension between local people and police. a sort of mistrust on both sides, i think, that's speaks to some of the larger dynamics that are really at play here in terms of when the police try to do their work and come into these tight-knit communities and try to figure out who may be harboring who here. >> they have to be wondering what's going on in the apartment building. the only building at 2:15 a.m.
6:16 pm
local time with the lights on in that neighborhood. they have to be wondering what is going on in there. who is being targeted and what is being pulled out of there. jeweli juliet, you've been speaking to your friends -- i'm going to come back to juliette after the break. many more questions, including what belgian officials are saying about the counterterrorism operation. much more after this. and now much of that same advanced technology is found in the new audi a4. with one notable difference... the all-new audi a4, with available traffic jam assist.

and i'm still struggling with my diabetes. i do my best to manage. but it's hard to keep up with it. your body and your diabetes change over time. your treatment plan may too. know your options. once-daily toujeo® is a long-acting insulin from the makers of lantus®. it releases slowly to provide consistent insulin levels for a full 24 hours. toujeo® also provides proven full 24-hour blood sugar control and significant a1c reduction. toujeo® is a long-acting, man-made insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin
6:19 pm
in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don't use toujeo® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you're allergic to insulin. allergic reaction may occur and may be life threatening. don't reuse needles or share insulin pens, even if the needle has been changed. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be serious and life threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. check your blood sugar levels daily while using toujeo®. injection site reactions may occur. don't change your dose or type of insulin without talking to your doctor. tell your doctor if you take other medicines and about all your medical conditions. insulins, including toujeo®, in combination with tzds (thiazolidinediones) may cause serious side effects like heart failure that can lead to death, even if you've never had heart failure before. don't dilute or mix toujeo® with other insulins or solutions as it may not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. ask your doctor about toujeo®.
6:20 pm
we'll hear more from our panel of experts in a minute as we uncover unfolding developments in brussels, in paris and within the intelligence and counterterror communities on both sides of the atlantic. right now again you are looking at live pictures of an ongoing operation in brussels in the schaerbeek neighborhood. forensic teams going through that. the bigger intelligence picture suggesting a wider isis plan of attacks beyond brussels, imminent attacks. pamela brown working her sources on that and joins us now. pam la, several of these plots in europe we're told right now. what more can you tell us? >> investigators are aware of multiple additional isis plots in europe possibly linked to the paris and brussels networks that's are in various stages of planning. the belief is there are dozens, if not more, potential and known isis operatives that are still in europe with these ties to the attackers and officials have collected intelligence
6:21 pm
indicating those people right now are working to launch further terrorist attacks across europe. there are multiple threat streams that intelligence services are tracking and essentially, john, they are overwhelmed by the sheer volume and there's this high level of concern that another attack is imminent in the wake of brussels. countries of particular concern based on intelligence are belgium, france, germany, spain and the uk, and the belief is that they will target run of the mill everyday places people go to like restaurants, metro stops and tourist sites. you may be ask, why haven't these plots been disrupted? it's either because the information is too fragmentary or investigators are trying to gather more intelligence. >> you have information that the belgian terror suspects may have had bigger plots in the works. >> that's right. according to a senior belgian counterterrorism official, investigators believe the brussels isis cell was composed of two teams planning a larger
6:22 pm
attack or series of attacks in belgium at a later date. after police discovered salah abdeslam's hiding place last week, investigators believe the second team included suspected bombmaker najim laachraoui accelerated their time table. they believe the second team consisted of the suicide bombing brothers and at least two others now on the run. >> pamela brown, thank you so much. almost simultaneous to the raids you are looking at in brussels right now this ongoing operation, authorities in france made what they call a high-level arrest in a plot that they say was in the advanced stages. erin mclaughlin has the latest on that and joins us from paris. this raid today, what new details are emerging? >> john, the police operation is still under way happening in a paris suburb of argenteuil near
6:23 pm
saint-denis. now the two at the moment seem unconnected. police moved into the suburb, evacuated an apartment building and then began a search sending in the bomb squad. at this moment it's not clear what they found, if they've made any additional arrests out of that search. we're still waiting to get more details about the nature of this plot that they say they foiled in its later stages. we're still waiting for those details. >> this raise was in conjunction to an arrest earlier in the day? is that right? >> that's right. earlier in the day, authorities say they arrested an individual they have yet to release his ident identity. he's a male, a french national, believed to be higher up within this operation, within a wider terrorist network.
6:24 pm
they say they have had him under surveillance for weeks. he's believed to be not connected at the moment, according to the information authorities here have to the attacks in belgium. now it's unclear how he may be connected to the apartment currently being searched. it's unclear whether he owned that apartment or used it. authorities at the moment simply not saying. >> erin mclaughlin in paris on raids and an arrest there. on the other side of your screen an ongoing operation in paris in the schaerbeek neighborhood. maybe finishing up right now. these are folks who have been inside that apartment building for some time in these forensic outfits. they are now removing them. clearly we think wrapping up an operation that's been going on for some time. dusting that apartment, looking for perhaps traces of explosives, dna evidence linking maybe to suspects who could be on the run. there are two fugitives on the loose. officials on the hunt for them right now in connection with the
6:25 pm
attacks in the brussels airport and metro station. this operation ongoing right now at 2:30 in the morning local time in brussels. more when we continue. allergies distracting you? when your symptoms start... doctors recommend taking ...non-drowsy claritin every day of your allergy season. claritin provides powerful, non-drowsy 24 hour relief... for fewer interruptions from the amazing things you do every day. live claritin clear.

[ beeping, whirring ] great caesar salad! ♪ and now the name your price tool shows people policy options to help fit their budget. is that a true story? yeah! people really do save an average of over $500 when they switch. i mean about you inventing it. i invented the story, and isn't that what really matters? so... what else about me?
6:29 pm
very busy night of breaking news. especially tonight cracross brussels at this apartment building in schaerbeek. there's been an ongoing operation for several hours. many police and law enforcement officials on the scene there including forensic teams working feverishly behind that window. it looks like they are close to wrapping up this operation. they were carrying items from the scene. we saw them loading their vehicles moments ago. we'll keep our eye on that. back now with our panel. i want to start with juliette kayyem, homeland security expert. you've been talking to a lot of your sources in the united states. i'm curious what u.s. officials are saying right now about the investigation and the counterterrorism operations in belgium. is there confidence right now? there's a great deal of concern that there are imminent attacks,
6:30 pm
plots very much in the works right now. are u.s. officials confident their european counterparts are doing enough to foil them? >> there's a couple of things i've been hearing. the first is that everyone is going with the belief that this is not the end. it would be somewhat delusional to believe that, well, if we just get the guy in the white hat from the pictures that everything will be safe. these guys have networks that are either connected or may be working separately. clearly the arrests last friday triggered a series of activities and everyone anticipates that others are going on. the question is whether both paris -- or french and brussels officials can actually stop them in time and that's the challenge for u.s. officials because they are just helping and assisting. they can't take lead in any of these investigations. the second thing i want to point out from the perspective of homeland security or security
6:31 pm
after an attack. the thing that we are not talking about which to me is just somewhat shocking is that after the airport attack, the subways kept running. now most people, most western european countries and the united states are trained and know that terrorists do not only attack in one, right? we know this from 9/11, july 7th, from paris. there's a lot of reckoning to determine why the city allowed public transportation to continue for an hour and then we saw that last attack. finally there -- >> go ahead. >> the final thing quickly, there's speculation raised by house intelligence chair nunez that maybe the u.s. was targeted. i don't think there's any foundation from that. many people are pushing back that that's total speculation. the idea that because it was near an american airlines gate or ticketing agency or a starbucks is the only evidence
6:32 pm
to suggest that. there's starbucks in every international airport we can speak of and there are multiple airlines in that area of the belgium airport. there's a lot of pushback against that speculation. >> a good point. those are thunings you see in every airport. ali, we're focussed on brussels and looking at the windows in schaerbeek for some time now. are we too focussed perhaps brussels right now? should we be looking more specifically in other cities? and are officials in other cities in europe right now doing enough to fight what could be imminent attacks in the works? >> absolutely. i think isis already hit in brussels. there's a possibility that they want to do something, they will probably do something somewhere else. and i think what needed to be done now, you have to map the threat across the continent. you have hundreds of people who went to syria and came back, and you need to do a matrix about
6:33 pm
each and every one to see who came back because they were disgusted in what they saw in syria, and who came back for more sinister reasons? and in order to do that, all these intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies, they need to pool their resources together and share information. you have 760 people who went from germany. the same amount from the uk. you have about 1,700 from france, and most of them from the same neighborhoods. and most of them are friends or connected with each other like we've seen with the belgium cells. it's extremely important to map the threat across the continent. that can only be done by sharing information and working together and trying to disrupt other cells that might be operational. might be active. might be trying to target other locations across the continent. >> we have about 30 seconds left. tell me what we're seeing in brussels tonight. these ongoing operations in schaerbeek in what's been happening over the last several hours. >> this is a very major police
6:34 pm
counterterrorism operation that is playing out tonight across brussels. at least three different locations there have been helicopters involved, special commandos involved, the army was brought in as well at certain locations. six arrests. three of those arrests outside the federal police headquarters. three men in a vehicle arrested outside the federal prosecutor's headquarters in the center of brussels. not clear why they arrested them. not clear if they pose any threat to that building. but those men we understand arrested as part of the counterterrorism effort. >> paul, ali, juliette, thank you. this operation in schaerbeek appears to be winding down. we'll check back in on the ground in a few moments. up next, the republican race for president and the war against isis. right now, though, the war is
6:35 pm
6:39 pm
war over wives is playing out in the republican presidential race. ted cruz called donald trump a sniveling coward after trump retweeted this. a split screen image of heidi cruz and melania trump. no need to spill the beans. the images are worth a thousand words. an anti-trump superpac put an ad on facebook using an old gq photoshoot in which melania trump posted nude. now that trump has posted the picture comparing heidi cruz to his own wife, his defense is pretty much the other guy started it. now here is ted cruz today. >> i have to say, seeing him go deeper and deeper into the gutter, it's not easy to tick me off. i don't get angry often. but you mess with my life, you mess with my kids, that's will do it every time. donald, you are a sniveling
6:40 pm
coward. leave heidi the hell alone. >> this may seem juvenile but we wanted to see how it's playing among ted cruz's supporters. gary tuchman reports. >> reporter: escaping a springtime snow shower in janesville, wisconsin, hundreds of people walk indoors and line up looking forward to not only seeing ted cruz in person but also his wife heidi who has gotten recent attention she hasn't sought. have you read what donald trump tweeted about ted cruz's wife? >> yes. >> how do you feel about it? >> unprofessional. >> as a woman, who is angry about this? >> i think every woman could be angry about that. it is a distraction. not only that. when it comes to the general election, if he is the candidate, hillary is going to beat up on him because the way he comes against women. >> reporter: ted cruz made reference to the tweets. >> heidi has been in the news the past couple of days. and let me just say, although the views of some might differ,
6:41 pm
i think heidi cruz is the most beautiful, extraordinary, generous, loving, amazing, fantastic woman on the face of the planet. >> reporter: wisconsin resident lexi is not amused about heidi cruz being in the news. she is leaning towards ted cruz still mulling over john kasich but not considering the man who tweeted about ted cruz's wife. >> i be that's something that you don't do in a sixth grade presidential campaign. they don't let you put that stuff on the walls. this is the national stage. >> reporter: whether you are against donald trump or for donald trump there's little surprise these days when he goes on one of his twitter tirades. while the cruz supporters don't very much like trump calling their candidate lying ted, they say that outrage doesn't compare to this outrage. ann and joshua marie brought their children so they could see ted and heidi cruz in person. >> i think him attacking women
6:42 pm
has gone to a major low for him. and i understand donald can say a lot of things and not get in trouble for it but i think going after women and going after ted cruz's wife is totally unacceptable. >> a couple of days ago you were considering donald trump? >> yeah. >> and you aren't anymore? >> i don't think so. >> are these tweets a factor? >> i think the tweets play a part in it. >> because? >> because i don't think it's appropriate to be attacking each other's wives. >> reporter: there were quite a few indecided voters here. the tweets, at least at this rally, did not bode well for trump getting any of those votes. >> his views on women, he doesn't treat women the way, i mean, as humans. so objectifying us and objectifying ted cruz's wife was really immature. >> reporter: if donald trump gets the nomination, some of the cruz supporters say they don't know what they'll do. they don't know if they'll even
6:43 pm
vote. others said they are loyal republicans and if donald trump gets the republican nomination, donald trump will get their vote. >> gary tuchman, thanks. joining me republican strategist kevin madden, republican pollster kristin anderson and former white house political director jeffrey lord who supports donald trump. kevin, you heard gary's piece right there. we heard some voters say this time donald trump has crossed the line essentially, which might be the 762nd time we've heard that in this campaign so far, but, is it different this time? >> well, look. it's a crucial time where ted cruz is trying to peel away as many voters as possible. some that have gravitated towards donald trump but are not yet solidified in his camp. at a time we have a number of contests coming up that are going to be crucial if ted cruz is going to stop donald trump from getting the nomination. i think that's the strategy here which is that ted cruz wants to
6:44 pm
continue to drive a wedge between donald trump and republican women voters across the country that could make the difference in some of these upcoming contests. >> jeffrey lord, this is a time donald trump should be trying to unify the republican party. does this work to that end? is that helping unify things? >> john, let me say something here. first of all, i've met melania trump and i've had dinner with heidi cruz. these are two wonderfully accomplished human beings. i have not a negative word to say about either of them. the only -- and obviously i'm a trump supporter, but i love ted cruz whom i often refer to as vice president cruz. let me say this. the only mistake here, this third party group that was anti-trump, which apparently makes them pro-cruz went out deliberately to stir this out. and my recommendation to senator
6:45 pm
cruz was denounce it immediately. he didn't do that. that led to this feeling on donald trump's part that his wife was being attacked. all of this is perfectly understandable. i would just suggest let's get beyond this. we have had all these people killed in brussels. this is serious stuff here. we're talking serious, serious international problems that can affect the united states of america. donald trump and ted cruz are essentially on the same page. somewhere between 70% and 80% of the voting electorate of the republican party is saying the same thing. for heaven's sakes, let's move on from this. these are two accomplished women. they both love their wives and are both willing to defend their wives. >> you were including donald trump in the charge let's move on. you want ted cruz and donald trump who you support, you want them both to stop this? >> you bet you. you bet you i do. i love donald trump. i think he's terrific. i like ted cruz enormously.
6:46 pm
>> but i know you like all of them but you want donald trump to stop it. let's just be clear. >> yes, yes. i mean let's move on. let's move on. >> kristin, the superpac here that did this, make america awesome. do you think they got just what they wanted here by putting this ad up of melania trump? did they want to start this kind of feud? did they think it really hurts donald trump? >> i think their goal was to try to depress donald trump's numbers in utah where they targeted the ad. they claim it was effective. ted cruz did win the utah caucus but it's not clear these ads were the driving force behind that. what is really unfortunate about this is you now have a situation where half of republican women have an unfavorable view of the current front-runner in the republican race for president and 7 out of 10 american women van unfavorable view of the republican front-runner. this is a situation that is really devastating to the gop. donald trump, his behavior in
6:47 pm
this regard, going after heidi cruz, if it was about an issue position if you have a political spouse that goes out on the campaign trail and is giving policy speeches, then by all means, go after what they are saying on policy. but to try to go after heidi cruz on the grounds that for some reason she's not as attractive as melania trump, it's unbelievably beyond the -- >> i want to try to move on, which you asked us all to do, jeffrey. i want to ask kevin about the nature of the debate in general. where it's happening, it's happening in wisconsin. the home state to reince priebus and house speaker paul ryan. this has to be driving them crazy, kevin. >> look, it's happening everywhere. that's the bigger problem here. to a point that jeffrey is making about moving on, i agree. look. we're 48 hours after a major international event that -- one that will reshape how voters look at each candidate and also how they look at the stakes of
6:48 pm
the race. we have two grown men fighting over twitter. think about that. that's a big problem for the party. the bigger risk here is that we give hillary clinton all of the space that she wants to run with in order to seize that commander in chief mantel and start making arguments to the american people about the key anxiety that they have right now in the context of that international event which is terrorism around the country. so if we lose that opportunity to win that part of the debate, we miss a big opportunity. so that's the bigger distraction that i think paul ryan, reince priebus and all of the republicans, all of the good kristen and jeffrey included really want to see the candidates address, which is the big issues facing the american public. >> hillary clinton is the issue -- >> and the issue the country faces. >> kristen, ted, kevin, thank you for being with us. and there will be a lot more this tuesday night when cnn holds a republican town hall event in milwaukee, in
6:49 pm
