responsibility tour. joe biden owned a number of issues on race raised by his opponents. he apologized for the remarks he made about segregationist senators. he talked about his support for the controversial 1994 crime bill and said he was responsible for the things that it got right and things that went wrong. and then he turned the finger and he pointedly took on his rivals. here is the former vice president. >> was i wrong a few weeks ago? to somehow give the impression to people that i was praising those men i successfully opposed time and again? well, yes, i was. i regret it. and i'm sorry for any of the pain or misconception that i may have cuss caused anybody. america in 2019 is a very, very different place than the 1970s. and that's a good thing. i've witnessed an incredible,
4:02 pm
incredible amount of change in this nation. and i've worked to make that change happen. and yes, i've changed also. i'm not the same person that entered the senate at age 29. i don't pretend that i've gotten everything right. i don't pretend none of my positions have changed. i've grown and i think it's good to be able to grow and progress. if you look at the issues i've been attacked on, nearly every one of them somehow is something to do with before 2008, as if my opponents want to believe i served from 1972 to 2008 and then took a hiatus the next 8 years. they don't want to talk much about my time as vice president of the united states. >> cnn reporter was at the even. this is a very different biden we have seen since the start of the campaign. why the change? >> well, ana, joe biden has been
4:03 pm
under fire, under criticism from his 2020 democratic rivals on a variety of issues since entering the campaign. but recently there's been a big focus on issues regarding race. there were the comments that he made about working with segregationist senators as well as that fiery exchange with kamala harris on the issue of school busing. and right now you're showing biden, in awareness that he needs to take on knows critiques, that criticism of his decadeslong record and also express some remorse for certain situations. so you heard him, you know, say he is sorry. that's not something you heard biden say often about comments about working with segregationist senators. cory booker was someone who called on him to apologize for that. he is now apologizing about three weeks later. booker says he is grateful, wishes it wouldn't have taken that long but grateful the former vice president is expressing that remorse. and you also heard him, you know, kind of tick through the list of all of the issues that
4:04 pm
are around from him time in the senate, whether it is his vote to authorize the use of force in the war in iraq back in 2002. that's something that he has taken criticism for. he raised that today, saying that despite that president obama still put him in a position to work on iraq in the white house. biden also pushing back on a suggestion that he might be too cozy with the banking industry, saying -- talking about his support for a bankruptcy bill that elizabeth warren opposed. you are seeing the former vice president get out there and try to defend elements of his career that have become a little controversial. and he is pointing to his service alongside president obama as a testament to his record and character. he is arguing that president obama vetted him to be vice president and did not find problems and was still able in deciding to go ahead and select him. he said he values the president's opinion more than anyone else's. that's something you often hear
4:05 pm
him talk about on the trail especially here in south carolina. he is often talking about his work, reminding people he was president obama's number two, and biden is here in south er - carolina over the next two days really trying to court the african-american vote. biden has been dropping in the polls. but you still see a significant amount of support among black voters. and he is trying to keep that momentum and trying to expand it here in south carolina. ana. >> okay. thank you. senator cory booker called on biden to apologize weeks aigt for the remarks made about working with segregationist senators. at the time you'll recall biden refused. in fact he said booker was the one who needed to apologize to him. here is booker's response today after finally getting that apology. >> i'm frustrated that it took so long. but i'm grateful for him doing this. and we should all -- i mean, we can't have a culture where -- we can't have a leader that can't
4:06 pm
stand up and say i've been imperfect and made mistakes and i apologize. i'm sorry we went through all this. i'm sorry he tried to shift blame to me. but i'm grateful. i want to say thankful. we need to extend grace to each other. i'm never going to not -- not accept somebody i respect and admire that has come to terms with this and apologized. i was very hurt by what he said. and then even more hurt that he would try to almost felt attacked that he was saying i should be apologizing for him when he clearly as he says now is the one that did something wrong. but this -- we need leaders that are going to be model of the forgiveness and models of grace and help to heal. he took a step towards healing today. i as somebody directly targeted by him and saying i needed to be apologize want to extend to him grace and o as well a and forgiveness what he said about
4:07 pm
me abforgiveness for that as well. >> with us opinion columnist for "the new york times" charles blow and former adviser to four u.s. presidents, republican and exact. david gergen. your response to what we heard from booker. >> magnanimous. and that's great. i do think his question about why it took so long is valid. i can't imagine something that could be handled worse than the way biden handled this. he hurt himself and didn't have to do that. it's perfectly normal to recognize a person's pain, empathize with that. apologize for it. and -- and move on from that. and that could have happened immediately. but biden almost felt gristled at the idea that you could have felt pain, which is such an odd response to that. and it is a fair criticism, because it did sound like he was
4:08 pm
saying that he was rather clubby with those segregationist senators. and i also believe that he missed an incredible opportunity to have a big moment -- a big speech about how white liberals throughout the entire history of this country have -- have interest tried to negotiate, work with, compromise with white supremacists in order to move forward incrementally. abraham lincoln started out his career with the same kind of attitude. that lincoln douglas debate has horrible language about he as much as any other person wanted to make sure that white people were in the superior position. horrible language in it. we let liberals -- liberals let reconstruction collapse because the election -- presidential election of 1876 was so unresolved that the deal was that they would give hays the
4:09 pm
presidency if they removed federal troops from the south. . and that was only thing keeping white supremacist terror terrorists in check. what they knew was going to happen happened which was the -- they took enough people in the state legislatures mississippi called a constitutional convention. any literally say we are going to write white supremacy into the dna of mississippi. and every southern state followed suit after mississippi. and lynching surged peaking in like i think 1910. this is what white liberals have done this thing of trying to figure out how do we work with the people that we don't share their values? but ner part of the government? how do we do it? i think biden could have taken that moment and said this is the history we have. and i have lived in that history. and i have tried my best sometimes to work with people who i vehemently disagree with. and that is not -- that is our history. and we have to grow up from it.
4:10 pm
and i can grow up from it that would have been an amazing moment for him to have the history lesson for america opinion but instead i bristles. >> today was a different tone. >> yes. >> i spoke with a bernie surrogate. professor coronell west a for a few minutes after the apology. and i want to play his reaction. >> he is now regretted what he said. he now apologizes two weeks later -- two weeks ago he said he wouldn't apologize. you said, i see you check the polls and find out where you really stand. he has changed a lot in two weeks, not just changed a lot in 40 years. >> david, what do you make of biden's change and message in tone, his apology and the time of it. >> well, listen, i -- after his speech today i was inevitably remind of barack obama running for president back in 2008 and he was engulfed in controversy about race and went to philadelphia to give a speech.
4:11 pm
it was one of the most eloquent statements we've ever had in politics. what is a twofl speech i think it really cleared the air. joe biden is just not a barack obama as an orator pu but injury i helped himself some with the speech today. he finally apologized, yes it was late but apologized. and he is fighting about his record. he is not going down quietly. i do think ultimately he should lead the question if he wishes to be the president of all the people he should lead the country in a serious conversation about race. touching upon many of the same issue that is charles talked about. >> i think it's interesting too because you remember how he started the campaign it was all about charlottesville. let me just pivot a little bit. because bide biden said something else interesting in the last couple days. he talked about if he were to be elected he would nominate merrick garland to the supreme court. we know the history there. i wonder if this is a way to win over more moderates, maybe some
4:12 pm
conserves. and then on the other hand though you look at who president trump has put on the supreme court during his time, two guys much younger, who are known conservatives. and i wonder would merrick garland somebody progressives would share charles. >> i think that would be a disaster theous. >> this idea of trying to be less liberal that that's the way to the white house? >> can you go too far in any direction right or left? absolutely you can. can you turn off people by doing that. yes, you can. but biden is basically telling -- it may work. i don't know. but, you know, the the interview he gave gave with cuomo. it was basically saying dream smaller. i'm not sure that's a -- that's a primary message when people are looking at -- that -- feeling like the country is being destroyed before their
4:13 pm
eyes. and saying if we are going to be destroyed we are building something new out of the ashes. he is basically saying -- giving the 1960 the sit com dad speech. . saying calm down and i'll make it go back to normal. i'm not sure that people think back to normal on the liberal side is where they want to be. >> david, what do you think? >> listen, i agree, that many on the liberal side don't want to go back to pretrump. they're looking for much morp vision. looking for more boldness. but at the same time, you know, i think biden speaks for a lot of people in the democratic party who are not that liberal yet. who are voters. and if you're going to win a national election you've got to pay attention to that. if you can -- what he is going to have trouble with now, people like kamala harris who presented the plan -- a bold plan, $100 billion-dollar plan to close the gap on housing in this country because blacks have so often been denied the housing opportunities any deserve. that is a -- the proposal on its
4:14 pm
face is a very attractive one. but when you have a whole seer z of the proposals there are a lot of the poot people in the middle in politics saying how much is this going to cost? how realistic is it? i think on that score bietden -- kmarls is going to be unhappy with biden all the which through because he is not a vision. does not bring that kind of capacity. but he may be bringing what will win at a general election. >> let's talk about another number. and that is fund raising. we see in the new fund raising numbers roll out. we know at this point mayor pete buttigieg has raised the most of any candidate in the second quarter, over 24 million. and yet we have seen him now kind of slipping in the polls. how do you square those two things, charles. >> there is a portion of the democratic base that has a lot of money. and they donate money to candidates and they see him as an attractive candidate. there are a lot of other people particularly african-americans
4:15 pm
generally do not donate as much. when we look at voting with your money. >> we're talking about africanen americans important to know in the most cnn poll buttigieg got zero%. >> when they were making these rules about who was on the stage, i pointed out that including that small donor number is actually skews it a little bit because they know as well as i know that accen americans have less money and donate less money. but they show up to vote. it's not necessary mri an accurate representation of how much support a person is getting. i think buttigieg has a particular group of people who have money and are giving it to him that it's necessarily the same as people who are going to show up and vote. a lot of these poor people vote religiously. they just don't have money to give to someone. and he is going to have to -- like you said about arken americans he has to figure out where he fits in there. there are several different constituencies within the
4:16 pm
african-american community. one is, you know, older women, in the south going to church a lot. some of eare blue collar men in south. not going to church as much still religious but any look at fwrimgs and get nervous about that because ner looking for the same jobs i'm competing for. there is a reason in 2016 trump got 4% of the black female vote but he got 13% of the black male vote. these are not the same constituencies. they are very different. he has to figure out where he can find a place where some -- one of the constituencies will be on his side. he hasn't found that yet. >> all right with charles, david, got to leave it there, guys thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> millions of californians on edge in evening. the state is being rocked by hundreds of after shocks after two massive earthquakes in as many days. live on the scene near the epicenter and talking to residents. you're live in the cnn newsroom. not even our competitor's best battery

4:22 pm
counting their blessings today. i talked to one man who says that 15 to 20 seconds before that explosion happened he was parked right in front of the building that exploded putting three children in the car, ages 8 where 6 and 4. he drove off about 50 yards away. he says he saw the explosion in the rear view mirror. take a listen. >> my car was parked right in front of the pizza place at the space directly across from where the place that exploded with the gas leak. loaded the kids in the car, drove away, maybe 15 seconds, 50 yards away. and just in my rear view mirror, we felt the loudest boom that you could probably possibly feel. and i looked in the rear view mirror it was a dust cloud. i kept driving. >> now, the number of injured has been increased to 23,
4:23 pm
according to plantation police, 19 of those individuals were transported to the hospital. one was a juvenile. i'm standing about 100 yards from where the explosion happened. if you look behind me you'll see the extent of the debris field. from talking to one of the firefighters who was on scene, he described it as a war zone, just because of the massive debris. the building that actually -- where the explosion happened, the apparent explosion, looks like more like a shell or carcass with beams expose ds. the atf is on scene. of course it's very early in the investigation so the cause of the explosion has not been determined yet. but ana, yet, the number of injured increase no 23. the good news, no fatalities reported >> rosa flores. >> earthquake experts in southern california are measuring after shocks every 30 seconds. that's after two powerful quakes hit part of the state between los angeles and the nevada state

4:32 pm
closest ally, sir kim derrick, sharing in the communications his perspective of a white house that he sees as dysfunctional and a presidency that he says could crash and burn. at one point in the communications he calls president trump as you said inept. he also questions president trump's connections to russians, disposition on a potential military conflict with iran as well. this is you award timing for the relationship between the united states and the uk. considering considering president trump was there a few weeks ago receiving all the pomp and circumstance of a state visit, saying that he believs the queen has not had as great a time in recent years as when she spent time with him. as you know, ana, the president is very much someone who punches back when criticized. we are expecting a scathing response from president trump to this. as yet he has yet to put anything out there ana. >> how is the british government addressing this. >> yeah, they are not refuting some of the reporting in the

4:40 pm
at a may not be over yet. >> this is not over. from 57.1 we're getting after shocks for two years. technically there is still sheaing after shocks in fukushima from japan from the large earthquake that basically destroyed -- we talked about the nuclear power plants for a long time. so, yes but the possibility of something bigger has now been reduced to 2%. the possibility of somewhere in the 6 range is about 24%. we are getting after shocks. we are still getting after shocks. although getting farther apart. we've had 4,700 after shocks greating than one. they were about every 30 seconds to a minute for a while. i've been watching -- did i've been on usgs constantly the past couple hours. and these are now down to about every five minutes. so that's something good. but in is an interesting graphic. this is a siems gram.
4:41 pm
not a siems graph because that's on paper. this is a computer what it has been seeing in wednesday july 3rd's hour by hour transportation all the way across 1 hour, 1 hour 15 minutes. an earthquake around 3:00. but then i take to you the fourth of july. and all of a sudden it got active. and that was the big quake. that was the 6.4. then it slowed down. you can see the white in here. not a lot of up and down hour by hour. not bad friday morning. one jolt here all of a sudden last night it did it get busy. i can take you now to the same exact graphic. and i take to you to live. this is the realtime -- 5-minute delay you get the idea like radar. five minute delay radar there is more white in here. not as many shakings up and down here. that's good news we are losing some of the after shocks. does that mean they're over? absolutely not. does that mean we are maybe seeing the possibility of more bigger one sns sure. possibility but you know everything at this point is a
4:42 pm
possibility. this is not certainly a perfect world. this is not like you know medicine. they say this is not an exacts science. we do everything we can but 20 million people felt shaking in the l.a. basin. and many will feel more from these after shocks that we see today. now, this is an image -- it's interesting i have to set it up. you are seeing the earthquake happen there. when i push the button you're going to see the earth shake all the way across the country. there is the earthquake here. it is going to continue to move and then all of a sudden -- that didn't work exactly the way i wanted it to. but anyway, all the best laid plans. this this is what georgia looked like last night with the big earthquake. actually, the earth shook in georgia. shook in vermont. all the day are way down even to the south of the u.s. so the earthquake at 7.0 equal to 1.3 billion sticks of i do
4:43 pm
know a might. undergrount. blasts them off that's what a 7.19 this time loobld about 40 miles long was the fissure, the seam of 7.1 earthquake? does that mean it was much bigger? half as big as 8.0. no to rowing lithe mick scale. from 6.5 to 7.1 it's five times bigger breaking, shaking but the power it puts out is 11 times. like a 50-mile-per-hour wind is half as much as 100 mierp wind but a 100-mile-per-hour wind is doing more damage than ha 50 that's why it goes up exponentially not just because of the shaking but things are breaking gas lines breaking, water lines breaking. and obviously the loss of life so far zero. that's outstanding. >> yeah, you got a lot in that segment chad. i liked how you rolled with the punches when the toys weren't working. >> yes. >> too long o i took a lot away thank you. >> you're welcome. >> the acting head of homeland security ordered an investigation into what he calls
