welcome. protesters filling the capital well, rotonda and nearly 90 members of congress saying that they won't attend israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's address tonight. >> plus outdoor rallies could soon be a thing of the past for donald trump. >> the warning from the secret service after the attempt on his life all right 6:00 a.m. here in washington alive. look at the white house as we continue to cover one of the most unprecedented camp pains in any of our lifetimes as now, donald trump battles kamala harris to get the chance to live there for four years. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with kamala harris is on here. she was at her first campaign rally as the presumed democratic

nominee touted her record as an attorney general and a prosecutor in those roles i took on perpetrators of all kinds cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain so hear me when i say i know donald trump's type and in this campaign, i promise you i will proudly put my record against his any day of the week the crowd there chanting both camila and lock him up at the same time, to get to that in a moment. but first the last three weeks have taught us anything. it's the 24 hours can be a lifetime in politics. and the reality right now is one, even the trump campaign just can't ignore trump pollster tony fabrizio wrote this in a memo. he's trying to get ahead of what he dubbed the

harris honeymoon we will start to see public polling, particularly national public polls, were harris is gaining on or even leading president trump. well, here it is a new reuters ipsos poll shows kamala harris two points ahead of donald trump. that is within the margin of error. so here at cnn, we characterize that as having no clear leader but let's compare it to the same poll, the reuters ipsos poll conducted on july 16. >> so that you can see how this poll has moved so look, there on the left of your screen, its july 16 days after the assassination attempt against donald trump, trump is up by two points of course, again, no clear leader in that poll. but look at the movement july 22, july 23rd, harris plus two. >> that's a swing of four points now, for breed ceo, the trump pollster argues, it's going to go away as the trump campaign works to tie harris to joe biden but this is a reality shift for former president trump now he did not have a

public event schedule, but apparently he feels the need to get into this conversation here. this was a rare move from a candidate. he used a press call to try to launch an attack on his new opponent as a result of her dangerously extreme immigration policies, the largest invasion in history is now taking place at our southern border and it's getting worse, not better all right, joining us now, jeff mason, white house correspondent for reuters will say brad woodhouse, democratic strategist, former dnc spokesman, and scott jennings, cnn senior political commentator, former special assistant to president bush. welcome to all of you brandon scott. >> we were joking. >> next to each other on friday and everything we said is now out the window. >> because of what's happened what the reality here i mean, then scott, let me give us to you. >> i mean, there for breach you is saying, look, this is just a honeymoon. this is going to go away. he's going to hold this money, all this excitement but we're going to ultimately define her and change that game. >> but, you know, trump hasn't

been behind these national polls. >> do not matter at the end of the day swing-state polls matter, but they do tell us something about the state of play. >> yeah, he's a little ahead in the marist poll that came out yesterday as well. okay. i wouldn't anticipate the polling between the two of them head-to-head is going to be nip tuck for the rest of the race. >> and the reality is a tied race for donald trump in the national head-to-head probably means he wins the electoral college. so they don't have to have a huge margin of lead or victory of the national popular vote. but there will be democrats. i mean, it's obvious. i think the democrats were like if you had this terrible itch in the center of your back and finally, someone handed you a back scratcher. i think you're hearing relief from democrats that they finally shed themselves of. >> i don't know about and your point in my personal and my personal view is there's a bit of a rational exuberance going on about harris, who's never proven to be all that skillful of a politician. >> and so we'll give it seven to ten days where we are after her record as expected, but i really think you're underplaying what we've seen over the last 70, 72 hours and

how fundamentally this race is shifted. i mean, your folks were in in milwaukee saying that this was going to be a landslide victory for donald trump, that you were going to expand the map. you had new mexico would be in play in colorado would be in play in minnesota would be in playing. look, some of that might, might actually happen all the time. >> but there is no link and slide talk coming coming from donald trump, coming ms campaign are coming from the republican party. >> look, if you want to know how freaked out the republican party is about kamala harris. and this change and the fact that they didn't get a run a convention against her all that money spent in milwaukee last week was flushed down plus down the toilet. just look at look at donald trump look at donald trump. he wants to he must be reimbursed for the money that the republicans smith running a race against against joe biden. this race is fundamentally changed. no one on your side is talking landslide anymore. it's a tossup rate is close. but we have about 300 million reasons to be pretty pleased in terms of 150 million has come in let to the super pac

supporting harris. it was just reported this morning, $126 million have been raised by the harris campaign since president biden endorsed her. so you want to you want to sneeze away almost 300 $300,000,000.70 hours acknowledge it. >> i mean, she's always been better at getting money that bodes i mean, not a single person i've never voted for her for this. >> and yet here she has it so well scott scott is giving me okay. >> that is what they are going to say. and that's fine. jeff, let me bring you in here you've covered the white house and presidential campaigns for a long time. i think we're all in my head is still spinning a little bit because, we have we're going here hear from president biden tonight, but i think as much as these two guys are trying to say, look, this is how the race is. if we've learned anything, it's that we have no idea how these following weeks are going to play out. we do know it's going to be a close election because this country is closely divided. and in that reuters paul, i want to, i want to bring this up just because i think it's really interesting we don't want to underestimate the impact of third-party

candidates on this race and so in this instance, you see harris actually pretty much holding should she dropped from 44 to 42 in this one. but donald trump drops from 40 to 38. so he's lost four points to her points. robert f. kennedy jr. polling at 8%, i think we should note this doesn't include some candidates that might pull from harris, including jill stein, the green party candidate, cornel west, who's also running in this race. >> but this i think that there is a significant amount of uncertainty here. >> now that this has changed so fundamentally and absolutely starting i just got back from rehoboth yesterday. >> i was there for a week on biden watch, and so i've got to warn everyone then i watch what terrible really was watch being like what he was going to do. and we found out what he did on sunday, but yeah. to your point, kasie i think it's changed that changed

everything, and yet there are lots and lots of unknowns. i think it's absolutely right that the polling right now is showing shifts, but it's going to be a close election. i think it was going to be a close election either way. and the impact of a third-party candidates interesting in that poll, there are question marks about what whether rfk junior would take away more from the democratic side or take away more from the republican side certainly, it makes you wonder if that call between rfk junior and donald trump would have been any different if this kind of polling was clear that and maybe it was but yeah lots and lots of questions still. i also agree that vice president harris is having a terrific moment, but it's also almost certainly honeymoon. we'll see how long that lasts. the momentum that showing in the money is clear. but will that enthusiasm continue and the states that really matter? >> yeah. >> i mean, scott jennings, one thing we have seen from republican candidates are house members first i should say a pair of them so far is this claim that she is a quote,

unquote, dei candidate and i had heard from one republican who is close, who used to be very close to donald trump, isn't in the circle anymore. but he talked about how it's going to be hard for donald trump to resist some of his base or tendencies here we've seen him as a candidate attack people based on race and gender. and you've got both mike johnson and kevin mccarthy out there saying that is a really bad idea. don't do that. it is bad politics. how do you see it? >> yeah, i don't know what trump personally is going to do. i don't think the campaign is going to touch it because they don't have to. i mean, look, first of all, it's not the republican's fault that joe biden pegged her with this to some degree in 2020. i mean, it was joe biden who laid out the criteria for choosing a vice president and his two principal criteria or i'm sorry, you are saying that joe biden is he's made a dei pick. >> i'm saying that he unfairly because she's qualified tagged her with that in the first place and that's not the republican's fault that biden did that to her. she's absolutely qualified. she's vice president. she was a senator. she was attorney

general. >> she's absolutely qualified, but being qualified doesn't make the best choice. >> and the way to correctly argue the case against her is to let her position is and her record speak for themselves and there's plenty of tate from her 2019 presidential campaign and there's plenty of record from her vice presidency to run on. you don't have to go down this route. >> it's just let me just say this. it's disgusting. this dei charge and it wasn't just the two people that said she's a dei hire. there's another one said she's only in this position because we're her ethnic background and we had enough the person that j.d. vance rally said, well, if they win, we're going to have a civil war. >> so showed that yesterday. so, you know, it's, it's pretty extraordinary, it's not donald trump. >> will he go there? i mean, almost certainly he will. he will he will go there. he started trotting out yesterday. what he normally does, he's road testing invective and name-calling. she's nasty, she's alive fire, which tells me opposite of what scott is saying that they don't know how to run against her on the issues and they don't know how to defend her, prosecuting him

as a convicted felon, as a rapist and you go on, you go right on down the line. i mean, i think her presentation so far a contrast with the message that she's leveling against him is very effective in all he's come back with is she's nasty, but there's already an ad on the air in pennsylvania detailing her record on energy fracking immigration. it's at the mccormick people over there. they've got it, right. don't worry. >> they'll they'll find a way. believe me. i'll just say that the voters look, voters, voters get to do what they want and they elected her from one of the biggest states in the country, as senator from california there's no, there's no dei there. >> all right. come on. coming up next. >> president biden, preparing planes. >> second address from the oval in less than two weeks. >> this that we're effectively run in this country via the democrats be at via our corporate oligarch's by a bunch of childless cat ladies why this strange take from j.d. >> vance three years ago is suddenly back in the conversation this morning and a whale leaps over a boat

>> grow your business easily with freelancers, five. >> but jhiela amelia earhart be a practical joke some travelers belong in the history books in practical jokers, all new thursday's attack on tbs set your dvr now all right. >> welcome back tonight, president biden, set to share more about his decision to drop out of the presidential race. he announced yesterday he plans to address the nation shan from the oval office this evening. and we'll discuss how he plans to finish out the job over the next several months. biden has been out of the public eye the past few days since announcing his decision to step aside as he has been recovering from a case of covid. well, at that he's still he has maintained he is up for the job for finishing the job that he has as president i'm not going anywhere. >> i'm going to be with her with comma. i'm going to be working like hell both as a

sitting president, guinea legislation passed, as well as campaigning want you to know i won't be on the ticket, but i'm still going to be fully fully engaged. i've got six months left of my presidency. i'm determined to get much done as i possibly can, both foreign policy and domestic policy so jeff mason, you have been with the president in delaware for the past bunch of days as all of this was unfolding, can you sort of bring us all the color and texture behind the scenes that we haven't been able to see as we prepare to listen to what he may have to say tonight. sure. >> well, for starters, when you're a pool or you're in the pool, pool what are you normally see the person that you are covering on? >> this is the pulitzer regular hate group of reporters that goes everywhere that the president goes, and you do you see him get in and out of the car and on and off the plane. and when you go when he goes and gets ice cream, you're their van gogh. >> and normally when he goes to rehoboth, when president biden goes to rehoboth or wilmington, we see him go to church you see

him go out for ice cream. we see him go out for something and this last week, we didn't see him wants the night the clip that you just played was him arriving in dover, delaware on wednesday night? i was in the motorcade. the picked him up. we drove him back to rehoboth and then we didn't see him again until yesterday and that's because he was sick and he was sick with covid and he stayed in and was recovering, but also dealing with, of course, the political crisis that was the democratic party just a few days ago. and in terms of other color, we didn't have any warning about the decision that was coming on sunday all of us were waiting for something or not waiting for something when it dropped. and i think that sort of was emblematic of a lot of people around the country. >> but we didn't see him much. >> and that's why yesterday's return was actually for many people quite interesting just to see how he's doing, how he's looking. and i think that's something that people will be watching tonight as well. not only what does he have to say, but how does he look and how is he dealing with this momentous decision that

he's made? >> well, because the reality is he's going to have to deal with republicans are already saying, well, if you can't run for reelection, how can you continue to do the job as president now he has insisted that that's the case. i mean, what his imperative tonight as he tries to both explain this decision, but also demonstrate think that he's still a commander in chief, who has a steering the country correctly. >> yeah, i think that last piece is a really important part of what he'll have to do tonight. just a little over a week ago, he was talking about what he would want to do in his first 100 days of a second term. i think now you'll hear and talk to talking about what he wants to do in the last six months of his last term. this current term. >> so he'll talk about that. he'll talk about why he made a decision that he made but he'll he'll also focus on what he has left to get done and what he what do i mean, it's legacy. it's all legacy at this point, right? he's not going to have a huge runway for getting major legislation passed. that's certainly true. but what other foreign policy? messick policy imprints can he make? i think you'll hear him focus you heard him note

specifically he wants to do domestic and foreign policy. >> of course, we know that he really relishes that particular, that world stage role is very important to him. >> all right coming up next here later today, israel's benjamin netanyahu is set to address the u.s. >> congress plus in our five things, how an old pay phone saved a couple from nearer tragedy. oh my gosh, this is one of the fires thanks. you have to see this morning we. fast create factory great digital solutions to perfect your process that's sides make your bounce back faster than he hurricane with comes gummy bites and loved back doug lima

actually had the eighth worst air quality in terms of large cities across the entire planet. so really puts it into context, how smoky it has been. and of course this is all a result of the the wildfires that are ongoing, not only from western canada, but into the pacific northwest, specifically across the state of organ. you can see kind of the evolution of the smoke going forward. much of that smoke concentrated across eastern oregon. we have poor air quality alerts, including denver stretching northward towards the canadian border as nearly 70 active large wildfires continue can you to burn? here's our risk areas today. this is where we're concerned about dry lightning that could spark off more fires. this is of course on the backdrop of extreme heat quickly along the east coast, we've had a lot of rain from atlanta all the way to houston. we have a slight to moderate risk of flash flooding across those regions today, kasie all right. >> our weatherman van dam, derek. thank you. i really appreciate it still to come here on cnn this morning. >> a shakeup at the secret service, finally, after the

out under. >> thank biden. i love him for all what he's doing. he's given me the feeling that he's doing everything we can and i want to ask him that if bibi doesn't get kicked out i wonder big biden, please get him out of the so emotional, the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, is set to address congress later today. his goal is to put the focus back on the war in gaza. netanyahu's trip to washington comes as us officials have voiced some optimism about a hostage deal that could potentially end the war. but not everyone here in the congress is planning to attend his speech. cnn reporting that vice president kamala harris, i will not be there. her team cites a previously scheduled events. the vice president now presumptive democratic nominee will instead meet with netanyahu individually later this week. the house speaker mike johnson criticized harris for this decision it is outrageous to me and

inexcusable that as the leader mentioned, that kamala harris is boycotting this this joint session. >> this is an historic moment. the gravity of the situation cannot be overstated and yet kamala harris will abandon her seat as you all know, as the vice president and is serving as the president of the senate. she is supposed to be seated next to me at the rostrum. she will not be there because she refuses to attend all right. >> joining me now, host of the call me back podcast and co author of the genius of israel, dan senor, dan, i'm very grateful to have you and i'm really interested in your perspective on the way this speech fits in to what's going on globally in terms of trying to get this hostage deal and also what netanyahu is dealing with at home politically in israel. you heard that emotional testimony. basically, there from a woman who was held hostage, her husband is still being held hostage in israel. or in excuse me, in gaza after

being taken from israel on october over seventh what does this what does this moment mean for those hostage families? what is netanyahu doing here so first of all, i week doesn't go by kasie that i don't speak to hostage family members and it's about the most excruciating, emotionally they experience. >> one can imagine. so and they've sentiments and emotions about what israel should do right now range from within the community of hostage families. i don't i don't pretend to speak for them. what i think the really government specifically prime minister netanyahu is trying to do is a israel's at the negotiating table. they've, they have in the past accepted previous proposals, including the one president biden laid out maye and that hamas has repeatedly rejected, in fact, the administration specifically secretary blinken, has repeatedly said that hamas keeps rejecting the deal what

israel has learned, i mean, this is just the reality. what israel has learned in these nine plus months of war fighting is that hamas is willingness to actually come to the table and actually negotiate tends to occur when two things are in place. one, israel is putting immense military pressure on hamas, which it has been doing over the last few weeks. and two, when the u.s. and israel seem shoulder standing shoulder to shoulder. and there's impression that the u.s. has israel's back when sinwar, the leader of hamas these factors that is, when he's been willing to negotiate now, israel, as i said, is having extraordinary success over the last few weeks after a few really bad months, somewhere between january and march, is really slowed down the military pressure. i think it's not surprising that mosque it was not willing to really come to the table at that time and at the same time, the biden administration was putting enormous pressure on israel. >> so there was a sense, including withholding some ammunitions as you, as cnn has

reported extensively, in fact, i think that story was broken on cnn so the impression from hamas's leadership is, wait a minute, there's a breach. >> there's some space between the u.s. and israel. this is the time for us to stand back and not negotiate. so i think nothing yet who being in washington, standing before the congress thanking the united states, which he's going to do. he's going to thank the united states for all it is done for israel since october 7. and make the case for israel's position in this war given what you're saying about that, hamas pays close attention to the american posture. >> i mean, how do you see presence biden's decision to step aside and kamala harris stepping in here, especially since she isn't going to attend the speech how does that factor into all of this i have heard from senior intelligence officials in israel and very senior intelligence officials here in the united states, that they believe that yahya sinwar, the architect, one of the two architects of october 7. >> the other one, mohamed deaf

is now presumed dead follows events here extremely closely right down to when they were campus protests in the spring and the encampments that they were following those protests and assumed that that reflected us public opinion. i think they were wrong i have been told by senior officials in some of the non israeli, non-us mediating teams, meaning the arab governments that are involved in mediations did they have conveyed to hamas that politics are changing in the united states and to the extent that they think they've gotten a softer ride, hamas with the biden administration. >> they need to be prepared for the possibility that a the administration is their attention is going to shift. they're going to be distracted because of the circus like political cycle are in right now, including the one over the last ten day or days or so and the possibility that donald trump will succeed president biden and kamala harris and that if of trump succeeds biden-harris hamas is in a

whole new world. that is what the arab governments are conveying through channels to hamas's leadership. so if you have an opportunity to negotiate, do it now because things could very much change very interesting, and how do you think, i mean, we're expecting netanyahu to meet with trump at mar-a-lago, which is certainly an interesting turn of events what is the motivation there? >> i mean, trump has talked extensively about being unhappy with netanyahu over the course of the soleimani situation, is there repair work that needs to be done here yeah look i think the prime minister netanyahu believes, and he has said that no president has done more for the u.s.-israel relationship than the trump administration between the abraham accords, between moving and moving the u.s. >> embassy to jerusalem and recognizing israeli sovereignty over the golan heights. and i can go on and on and on things clearly got rough between trump and netanyahu specifically because the manner in which,

according to the trump people, netanyahu congratulated biden after the election so quickly. and then obviously, trump has this narrative about the soon money operation in israel's role in it they have already begun the repair process. they have been in touch already. and i think an in-person meeting was inevitable i think any leader coming over, any national leader in any government of any leader of any national government coming to the us now, at this point, given the kind of uncertainty in american politics would be wise to meet with the nominees of both parties. you just don't know if you're the leader of a foreign government, it's in your interest to have a relationship with both with both leaders, both nominees? and so i think prime minister netanyahu is doing that all right. >> dan senor for us this morning. dan, very grateful to have you. thank you so much for being here thank still ahead here on cnn this morning, we're going to talk to congressman pat ryan ahead of president biden's historic address tonight. >> and the controversy around

the resurfaced video of j.d. vance calling kamala harris and others. i think it child was cat lady that's ahead. and from cats to the dow g, they wrote that for me. okay. i'm just saying that snoop dogg taken on the olympics when the pimps and agree a month drop it like it's drop it like a drop it like it's on the extra life with kids can be messy. once upon a farm keeps it clean where it matters most. >> organic, no added sugar, farm fresh blends for babies, two big kid for where ever life from our farm to your fridge, once upon a farm this summer,

explain his decision to bow out of the 2024 race. and make the case for a legacy that is now kamala harris's to defend joe's legacy of accomplishment over his entire career and over the past 3.5 years is unmatched in modern history in one term, think about it in one term as president, he has already surpassed the legacy see of most presidents who served two terms in office all right, joining me now is democratic congressman pat ryan of new york. he was one of the first lawmakers to call on president biden to withdraw from the 2024 campaign. congressman, thank you so much for being here let me start with this decision that the president made to step aside one of the big reasons why there was so much pressure is that democrats were really concerned. they were going to lose the house of representatives, including in seats like the one that you hold swing seats does it make it easier for you to win your race with kamala harris at the top of the ticket?

>> what she is able to do, and we've seen this to great effect in the last 48 hours is draw such a sharp, clear, and energizing contrast. and remind people of the choice that that the stakes, the consequences, the existential nature of the choice so in a state like mine in seats across the country and at the top of the ticket, we are now i think she is really taking command of a campaign of the race in a way that i think scares the heck out of her opponent, i appreciate your polite and it's early it's almost ones some people some people who are willing to go farther than you say, i'm hour look, the race is on to define kamala harris i actually interviewed her back in 2018 and it was in that interview when she expressed it openness to abolishing ice. >> the border is one of these issues that the trump campaign

is going to seize on to criticize her. i know it's an issue in races like yours. she has since walked that back, but do you have any concerns about how she handled border policy during the biden administration? >> well, i always start listening to my constituents what's happening at the border, which is a crisis, and i've been saying this since day one, that i've been in congress has to be addressed. i called out president biden aggressively in a way that very few of my democratic colleagues did. and we pushed him to take action. and i want to see the vice president should she hopefully take take take the reins soon continue to push on that and we've seen by the way, in the last month illegal border crossings, we have a lot more work to do, lower now, the last month than they were at the end of the trump presidency at the same, same month. so we're making progress, but we have to restore order at the border. and i think the vp gets at do you think it was a failure on the part of the biden administration not to take the actions that he took

that may have led to some of that earlier in his term, we should have the president was in charge, is in charge including securing our border, which is a foundational responsibility of any nation state and fail to act quickly enough. >> and that is something that i think shouldn't even be political. that's just the facts on the ground and on the kind of person right around that, i think right. but calls calls that out when i see it regardless of who's in charge and that's what the american people really want right now. >> let's talk briefly about the address that we're anticipating to congress from benjamin netanyahu. you plan to attend? >> yes can you give me a sense of how you feel about the fact that kamala harris is not planning to attend, shows a prescheduled event, do you think she should be in attendance today? well, i think the more important piece, rather than who's there and who's not, is, are we going to hear from netanyahu a plan to bring home hostages, to bring

last and both immediate peace and cessation of the hostilities and a ceasefire, but also lasting peace to the region and are we going to hear some appreciation for are sticking with him as i think the alliance between the u.s is critical, even more critical now. >> but i have been very critical of president netanyahu and the way he is, not only his rhetoric, but some of the actions they've taken. >> so i hope we hear some what i what i really hope we hear from him is speaking on behalf of all the israeli people, not himself and his own sort of political and personal calculations, which is what i think a lot of us worry is driving some of his actions. >> interesting way to think about it, right? so very briefly as we wrap up kamala harris has to pick a vice presidential running mate. it seems very quickly here who would you like to see her pick? i've heard mark kelly, josh shapiro, possibly at the top of the list now i am in for have forever been a pete buttigieg fan. i think he is just knocked

it out of the park in delivering on infrastructure calling out airlines when they delta as millions of americans having recently flown myself and he's just shown an ability to actually unify the country when that is just what people are desperately looking for. >> so i'd love to, i'd love to see him. >> you're going to stick around for our panel, which you'll see in a second, you're very good support for doing so. >> thank you. >> i really appreciate your time. >> all right. 50 minutes past the hour. here is your morning roundup new body camera video shows boeing investigators and local law enforcement on the roof where the man who attempted to assassinate donald trump was killed. the short clip posted to social media by republican senator chuck grassley it shows officers grappling with the immediate aftermath of the shooting. very chilling stuff, the secret service is asking the trump campaign to stop scared it's only rallies at large outdoor venues following that assassination attempts. that's according to the washington post. this is just one day

after secret service director kimberly cheatle announced her resignation. multiple lawmakers telling cnn that senator bob menendez should have resigned immediately. he's instead staying in congress for another month, despite being found guilty on 16 counts in a federal bribery and corruption option trial and the story gold was old. are you went say, oh what people say? >> about why dog, rapper, businessman now olympic torch bearer, he will carry the flame just ahead of the opening ceremonies for the games in paris on friday and unofficially, the olympics start today, preliminary events in soccer and rugby. just minutes ago, the international olympic committee announced salt lake city, utah will host the 2034 games the last hosted the winter games back in 2000. and to somebody called mitt romney about that. alright, turning back now to the 2024

race and this recently resurfaced video of republican vice presidential candidate j.d. vance it has restored an uproar and is raising questions about how sexism will play into the campaign. now that kamala harris is leading the democratic ticket, this was vance speaking to fox news in 2021 we're effectively run in this country via the democrats be via our corporate oligarchy by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made. >> and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too. and it's just a basic fact you look, kamala harris pete buttigieg, aoc, the entire future of the democrats is controlled by people without children child has cat ladies harris does in fact have two stepchildren. >> we should note buttigieg, welcome. twins, weeks after that interview was it was whatever after that interview aired let's just remind

everyone who else is of a very powerful, childless cat lady, quote, unquote, because the internet really likes taylor swift in this particular moment there she is with her cat you know, hasn't endorsed a presidential candidate yet i'm the only woman at this table. this was clearly a mistake. but what is yes, please. >> i ask all the white man vice presidential nominee well, first of all, i didn't say it is wise. no clip that that's already these acidic candidate for high know. i mean, i i think that there's, no this is not part of the campaign's messaging. number one we're going to make it point. >> number two. and number two, if i may pivot, i think the old videos, if you if you want to play the game of resurfacing old videos of people who are now thrust onto tickets. i suspect you're going to see plenty of kamala harris videos that are gonna be we far more politically damaging than going

after j.d. vance today? that's my view i mean, what it speaks to though, is the values and the disregard for a huge number of people that he brings at a moment when in my district and across the country, people feel like politicians are not caring about them, are not listening. >> and i can also say as the husband of a cat lady with children and people are rightly it just hits as true because he's so vile and so much of his rhetoric. and i think it will be and should be soundly rejected. >> well, look, i will say i'm glad i'm glad that you sort of brought it back to the serious questions here because the reality is this is such a personal thing for people as well. i mean, to your writing off there are many reasons why any person may or may not have children in their lives. and this is something for women and men. and in fact, pete buttigieg, who we were just talking about earlier. he and his husband chest and adopted

twins but he was asked about this on cnn on tuesday and he had this to say, let's watch they're really sad thing is he said that after chestnut and i had been through fairly heartbreaking setback in our adoption journey. he couldn't have known that, but maybe that's why you shouldn't be talking about other people's children and it's not about his kids for my kids or the vice president's family it's about your family, people's families whose well-being will depend on whether we go into the future led by somebody like kamala harris and jeff, i will just say also this really underscores how different this racist. but go ahead, guys. >> i was just going to say i wrote a story on sunday about sexism and racism being a part of this race because of the challenges that vice president harris has faced her entire career and will now face at the top of the ticket there's a lot of room for policy debate and there will no doubt be a big, robust discussion about that.

but racism and sexism and the united states is history of never having elected a woman, only having elected a black person wants the presidency is absolutely one of the things that she will have to face. and i think you're seeing that in comments there. >> yeah let's talk about j.d vance a little bit more broadly as well. and scott, because i mean, we've we've gotten a glimpse into his early campaign style. i'm asking my team to see if they can dig up the diet mountain dew moment from yesterday, i'm not sure if we're gonna be able to get it before the end of the show. but this is what the new york times wrote. mike bender, who was a longtime campaign reporter who was on the plane with vance, right? and he writes this briefly uncertain how to start. he vance for his brow and looked from side to side. he is in this account, walked to the back of the campaign playing to talk to the reporter first, we always write in the back the, the candidates right up front, his vance's unease was understandable. the utilitarian design of airplane seating does not exactly facilitate group

discussion, but it was also revealing a more seasoned politician might have leaned against a seat. mr. vance and his initial confusion, i'm sorry. yeah. should a vision hinted at the inexperience of a 39-year-old embarking on his maiden national campaign. because when a flight attendant approached and urged everyone to fasten their seatbelts before landing, mr. vance plopped into an empty seat in the press cabin and quickly buckled up as if he were just another passenger and not the only one inside the plane with his name on the outside of it to what is it what is it a problem that he follows safety protocols on an airplane? >> i'm glad you let me say. >> i think you've already you're i heard you've already seen rumors. tim alberta's reported there's some buyer's remorse here. i mean, you know donald trump picked a mini-me he picked a maga mini-me, somebody that he didn't need to help. he didn't need help in ohio. he didn't need help with maga, but he somebody that would do what mike pence didn't do, that was probably the major criteria i don't

think i don't think j.d. vance is adding anything to trump's coalition. >> are we going to raise the dialogue in this country? are we gonna lower and unfortunately, i think we've seen in that choice that trump wants to lower it with vance and i think kamala harris will continue to elevate and inspire and give hope and give optimism and that will win the day. >> while we're all about to find out. okay. >> i'm going to leave you with this. this is one of my favorites, sort of ongoing. >> thinks that we here at cnn have been enjoying as well with president biden set to address the nation tonight. >> do you remember where you were when the news broke that he was ending his reelection? and byd, the country thinks that wolf blitzer does. >> wolf posted this photo of himself and joining a wolf spritz or cocktail. he posted this just hours before biden dropped the bombshell news that he was exiting the presidential race. this of course prompted wolf to race to the dc bureau. and this very anchor desk that we are sitting at now. since

then, social media has had a field day one x user joking, never check your work email on a day off. another post born to dilly dally forced to lock in the cocktail, getting so much attention, this x user anticipating the bar rush at el presidente, that is where the wolf blitzer is being served cheers to you, wolf, i will say apparently we did learn he wasn't actually at brunch before the coverage. this was from dinner the night before first the button, a little daydream, everyone. >> but i think it's very fun. i apparently my team had a few ideas for kasie hunt, theme drinks. this. >> i'm taking it risk here. i've not seen any of these ideas until right now can you see in korea, i don't think so guys, whiskey man hunt or a whisk kasie sour. how about a kasie breeze in the summer let's have a party. i'll bring a few cases of beer, guys, we need to work on this okay
