donald trump kamala harris, i think will rise above this and she will show the distinction between someone who has prosecuted fraud and someone like donald trump or benjamin netanyahu who are, have been involved in fraud congressman lloyd doggett. >> thank you so much for your comments this morning. i appreciate you coming on this early morning. >> thanks, sara. >> all right. another hour of cnn new central starts right now kamala harris out today with a new campaign video trying to re-introduce herself. >> donald trump is out testing out new attack lines. the race does now clearly not just to, to 70, but two defining kamala harris in this new matchup and passing the torch, president biden's emotional address from the oval hello, office explaining why he stepped aside and whites a day could be so critical to deciding in

defining his legacy and historic shift in southwest policy. gone are the days of first-come, first-serve seating. and have you been just begging for a red-eye? i'm kate bolduan with sara sidner and john berman. this is cnn news central new for you this morning, vice president kamala harris calling on voters to choose freedom and heard her first presidential campaign video just really please take a look in this election, we each faced the question, what kind of country do we want to live in there are some people who think we should be a country of chaos a fear of hate. but us, we choose something different harris making clear where she stands at a number of issues in that video, but questions

remain about her position on israel. >> does her stance defer or match president biden's and just hours? she will sit down with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu as she's tries to forged her own path. cnn's priscilla alvarez is in houston for us where harris is starting her day with a speech at a teacher's union event. priscilla, we understand from her campaign that she said, look, you will hear what some of my policies are with israel when she sits down with netanyahu, what are you learning and she has certainly been a voice in the administration that has tried to underscore the plight of palestinians. >> having those martin were notable remarks earlier this year about the deteriorating and the dire their conditions and gaza, you can anticipate that some of that is going to come up in that sit down with the prime minister. but a lot of the focus this week for the vice president has been striking the balance between acknowledging a president who abruptly left the presidential race and also defining her own campaign and that is what we

are getting a glimpse of this morning. in this new campaign video, take a listen freedom, not just to give fine, but get ahead the freedom to be safe from gun violence. >> the freedom to make decisions about your own body. >> we choose a future where no child lives in poverty, where we can all afford health care, where no one is above the law so of course, the vice president has been talking to some of those issues already as the running mate earlier this year, she went on a reproductive rights freedom towards she's repeatedly talks about gun violence and what are the key themes there is no one is above the law of course, the vice president intends to prosecute the case against the former president, as she hits the trail while also articulating what exactly the stakes are in this election. now, it is notable where she

has been this week's was in battleground wisconsin that was where some of the images were taken and in that video, she also was an indianapolis yesterday speaking to a black sorority, and today she is here in houston where she is talking to the second largest teachers union have been talking to some of the folks here who said, after this conference, some of them canceled their flights just so that they could attend this event with the vice president. so certainly it has been a momentous week for but the vice president xi, there was a massive fundraising haul. she has gotten endorsements from the democratic party after what has been a divisive several, few weeks. and now she'll be talking here as she wraps up a week before she heads to washington. worse we'll have that critical meeting with these really prime minister sara priscilla alvarez. >> thank you so much for your reporting this morning at kate. i don't think we've ever seen such a big shift in momentum from one candidate to the next day after day, it's hard to tell exactly where spinning buckle up and just leave what happens actually, let's just make it through today. he has a new political opponent, but he is sticking with his old

political tactics. >> donald trump at his first rally since president biden exited the race redirecting all of his attention to kamala harris testing out the label of her not being just liberal, but in his words, ultra radical, liberal is this it's now the new strategy. cnn's steve contorno has more reporting on this. he joins us now. steve, what are you learning we certainly saw donald trump ditch the whole nice guy approach. >> in fact, that, that approach probably only lasted about 30 minutes into his convention speech last night he was on the attack over and over again. and he's north carolina's speech. and today, doubling down on those efforts, he was asked during an interview with fox news what he thought us vice president harris, suggesting that her record as a prosecutor gives her an advantage going up against an indicted felon. take a listen to what he said. >> i think it's disgusting and i get a kick out. one thing they say, sir you just got hit

with a bullet. >> maybe he's changed me nice. and i'd love to be nice, but i'm dealing against real garbage. when you hear that they've weaponized the justice system against me, david indicted me four times. they've pushed other lawsuits on to me. it's never happened to this country. this is like a third world country. what they've done a banana republic trump was then asked if all these attacks are getting under his skin and he said, quote, it's not a question of getting under your skin. you fight back and so that is clearly the posture he has taken because look, this race has changed dramatically in recent weeks. he is now facing an opponent that has generated lot of energy, a lot of momentum, and a lot of money were far more than joe biden had been able to do in recent months. and they know that there could potentially become a comma bump in the polls for her as a result of this. in fact, his campaign put out a memo saying that is exactly what they expect. so they are

now working overtime to define vice president harris before she can get out there and on the airwaves and define herself. so you can continue to expect these attacks and they can continue to to sharpen in the coming weeks and months and one question from last week now officially answered, what does unity, what does toning it down look like? it means you do it. i don't have to. that seems clear, john good point. >> all right. with us now, congressman jason crow, a democrat from colorado congressman. thank you so much for being with us. you've been hearing there is still steve contorno right there. there's jason crow congress from colorado, both good-looking men. so no mix up there. congressman, you've heard about this sort of race to define the vice president, kamala harris. how do you defined her? what do you see as the strongest points have her candidacy well, the contrast in this election couldn't be more clear right? >> have vice president harris as the next generation of leadership versus donald trump as the past. you have vice

president harris is the former prosecutor versus donald trump. the convicted felon. you have vice president harris, the unifier, versus donald trump, the divider, right? this is a very, very clear choice for america. excited to get out there and talk about this choice. >> they say she's more liberal than joe biden to that you say vice president harris has her own politics, her own path forward. she is a uniter. she is a pragmatist, right? you, these labels of liberal parole, conservative whatever you want to do to fill in the blank. what defines vice president harris is pragmatism, getting things done here? i am in the capital where republicans canceled, literally canceled all of next week here, we were supposed to be passing bills legislating, getting are appropriate patients bills over this over the finish line. they pulled it all down because they can't govern they can't get a thing done. vice president

harris has a history of getting things done. she's a pregnant test how is she different than president biden well, you're going to see that, right? she has her own history, her own path, right? she has walked her own path and her life and that forums her leadership, right? she's a pragmatist. she's a uniter you know who she's going to build on the varies very strong foundation that vice president biden has laid for us here and his incredible success doesn't he's going to carry us forward. she's going to carry us forward. she's a uniter and that's what you're going to see her do so you may be were in the middle of the whole discussion over president biden's future. >> i'm sure more than you would have liked to have bid it became public that you had a little bit of a back-and-forth with him on one of these conference calls, where you are suggesting that democrats running for races around the country are having a tough time because he was still on the ticket given that moment what was it like for you to watch his speech last night? >> it just showed once again

that president biden has cemented his place in history as one of the most consequential selfless it's patriotic presidents in history. this act that you basically never see in politics of somebody stepping aside to lead in and usher in the next generation of leadership it is really an unbelievable act of love for this country. a man of deep compassion, of deep empathy. he just showed once again what an incredible leader he is how it seems pretty different though than the president biden that has been described on that call to you? >> yes i'm going to make something really clear here leaders have tough discussions that's what leaders do. >> right? we don't shy away from tough discussions. we don't shy away from addressing the concerns of the american people that's what president biden has always done that's what democrats do. unlike the party of trump that just gets in lockstep in writes off people's concerns. we actually listen and we have tough conversations stations as

leaders, we figure it out and we move forward. and that's exactly what we did. that makes us strong, that makes us competent, that makes us confident that those are the types of discussions is that america can count on us having candid real conversations to address top issues. we will not stop doing that. >> want to play some sound? from former president trump's rally yesterday when he was talking about the vice president, kamalaharris. i want you to listen to this and listen to how he says her name if kamala harris gets in july and kamala harris, kamala harris is the most liberal elected politician in america. >> can history kamala through open our borders, lyon kamala harris lyon kamala. you're fired. get adding, hear. you're fired what do you think is going on there? it's the pronunciation or mispronunciation that we've heard frankly for years on, on fox news and other places. what

do you think he doesn't? >> listen? i don't spend my time trying to figure out what donald trump is saying. he's unintelligible in most of the time. it his streams of conscious and it's don't really make any sense you know, he is one of the worst communicators i've ever seen because it's, it's unclear that he changes his mind. he he's he's here, he's there in his convention speech in even know what the heck was going on there so i don't spend my time doing that. what i do is i focus on the work that needs to happen for the american people. the task before us, which is a big one because we have a lot of challenges here vice president harris is an intel exceptional communicator i mean that is very clear. this contrast is going to be really clear here and i'm not going to spend my time, you know, chasing after donald trump and trying to figure out what the heck he's saying at any given rally who should a running mate be well, that's up to her right, somebody that she trusts, somebody who can complement her

exceptional background and experience variance. the candidates that i've heard floating around our all exceptional folks. i would do great. so it's up to vice president harris to decide who can it. can be the best person for her ticket here. >> deep down inside you have of reference know, i'm going to let that meet with vice president harris, not that you'd share with us? the unspoken ward is there. congressman jason crow of colorado. appreciate your time. thank you nice. >> try john berman, are you president biden? gearing up for his own critical meetings with netanyahu and the families of the israeli american hostages. today, we'll speak to the father of one of those hostages just ahead. no more hunger games style battles for the best seats on southwest. i've been a part of that. i'm sorry. the airline ditching open seating in the biggest policies policy shift in its history, what led to its major move to change things up. and we're counting down to tomorrow's opening ceremony of the paris

important addresses of his presidency overnight highlighting his international priorities for the remainder of his term, which includes both ending the war in gaza and stopping putin in ukraine and i'm going to keep working. and the war in gaza home all the hostages to bring peace and security to the middle east and end this war we're also working around the clock to bring home americans being unjustly detained all around the world are signs that the white house for us this morning this is a crucial day for the president sitting down with netanyahu, the vice premier will also do the same thing. what are you expecting? that conversation to be like well, sara president biden has made clear that ending this conflict in gaza will be one of his key priorities in his final six months in office. >> and that is where he will turn his attention pension to today. the president will sit down with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu a little bit later in the early afternoon, this will be the

first time the netanyahu is visiting the white house during biden's administration and also the first time that the two men are meeting in person since biden had traveled to israel just a few days after hamas had attacked israel on october 7. now, this conversation today will be coming at a critical time as the president has expressed hope that they could soon reach an agreement to bring so just back home to their families and also secure an end to this war. senior administration officials said ahead of this meeting that they don't believe that netanyahu is trying to do the delay this deal from coming together. but there are still some final details that need to be worked out. they're very hopeful that that could be done soon. and one thing that these officials also noted is that but if they do ever feel that netanyahu is standing in the way, are delaying this deal that they will speak very clearly about that in the coming weeks and months now, in addition to that one-on-one meeting, president biden and netanyahu will also sit down

with the families of the americans believed to be held held hostage in gaza and then netanyahu will have his own meeting with vice president kamala harris. that meeting for her will be a key test as she was stealing with one of the most fraught foreign policy issues facing this administration, and also causing some anx within her own democratic coalition. now, this meet, these meetings come just one day after president biden delivered that number an emotional address from the oval office where he talked about his decision to drop out of the 2024 race. the president notably made no reference to the democratic pressure can campaign. he was facing over the course of the past month as many had publicly talked about, it expressed concerns that he would be unable to campaign effectively at his age or beat trump in the november election. instead, biden tried to portray this decision as one focused on serving the best interests of this country and preserving democracy. take a listen i believe my record as president my leadership in the world my

vision for america's future hall murder to second term but nothing nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy that includes personal so i've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation that's the best way to unite our nation now president biden also outlined a bit of his to do list for his coming months in office. but at the top of that agenda is trying to find a conflict this war in gaza, and that is where he will turn his attention to today. >> there are so many lives hang in the ballots waiting for everything to end. their in gaza, arlette saenz. thank you so much. to appreciate it, kate. >> and joining us right now is a d alexander his son, 20-year-old, idan is an israeli american who's kidnapped by hamas on october 7, who is still being held by hamas now almost 300 days for almost 300 days a d. thank you for being here. i want to talk about the

big meeting that you'll be having today at the white house. but first you were in the house chamber for netanyahu's speech what is your takeaway from his remarks my takeaway basically touched older, right buttons and i'll give him now nine out of ten for his performance. >> but i was missing one simple line. and the line is we are working on a deal and it's within reach that seems one glaringly missing line correct and you're going to be part of this meeting today with president biden and the prime minister i heard you say yesterday that in this more intimate meeting and setting that you hope to get some answers. what answers are you hoping for and what are you going to be asking of them? >> we will be asking why the deal is being delayed because it's for two weeks, it's the

deal is on the table to be signed. and the small new answers to be worked out that but it should be within the reach. and that that will be our major answering this is actually our major concern and my or my my colleagues were just talking about that just before they came to us that at the white house cnn is being told from senior officials they do not believe that netanyahu is trying to delay a deal. >> but the hostage families forum put out a statement after netanyahu's speech accusing netanyahu of just that, of deliberately slow walking negotiations. one thing they said was this foot dragging is a deliberate sabotage of the chance to bring our loved ones back do you feel that way i feel that time kills all deals? and the the negotiating team, the israeli negotiating team

members of mossad and shin bet, there were supposed to leave to the region, to qatar and egypt actually this morning and they never left so that's a delay by itself for a few days. so where's the urgency yeah. this meeting at the white house with the two leaders this seems critically important to the path forward. do you do you have are you hopeful that having netanyahu, not just a meeting with netanyahu, but having a meeting with netanyahu and president biden to gather are you hopeful that this moves it for moves it forward, or at this point? now almost 300 days in, are you losing hope somehow? >> we never losing hope, and we have this unique situation when the sitting president and the former president both calling

on netanyahu to finish the war and seal that deal. so that will be our main message too. today. and i hope this matches message will go through you raised something really interesting, which is this comes at a moment where just after joe biden announces that he is not running and just as kamala harris is getting her now, presidential campaign off the ground this i don't know if i guess it presents potentially uncertainty or it's the very least a transition that you find yourselves in when you need action. >> now, what do you think this kind of in-between? means for your family and getting your son home so first of all, this in-between, it's a six month and now when president biden will be free from political burdens i hope he will seal

that deal ii told explicitly that this is will be his main gold. >> and we don't want, we don't want to go beyond the january 20 but that, but you actually see that there's opportunity in this moment yes. >> correct. we see is that as opportunity? we need more bold actions and we need strong leadership. and no politics involved as you walk into the white house later today with the other families, is there an aspect of idan that you'll be holding close to your heart. >> is there a memory that will be ringing in your mind? what, what part of idan do you take into that white house with you today? >> i'll take the part that is a really strong kid is real fighter former swimmer and we know he's alive we have sign

of life and it needs to remain strong. we saw no argamani yesterday. we had to spent at least a half an hour with her. she looks fine. she looks healthy, and she seems to me hundred percent, so i want to believe that our sun in the same situation, young kid is hundred percent just waiting to be released waiting for leaders to lead your strength and resilience for your son is a beautiful thing. >> i do. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> thanks, john so this morning the end of an era for south southwest airlines, why they are abandoning the news you assigned seats policy besides the fact i've never found a single person liked it, ever sunday. the whole story digs deeper into historic week in presidential politics. first,

and it's all about making more money southwest has been under pressure from activists, investors who want to see changes in management and higher profitability. they used to be the us's most profitable airline, but that's not the case anymore. in fact, they just posted a roughly 50% drop in profits. so these changes will hopefully they, they think allow them to make more money on premium seating, assigned seating allows them to make some seats premium. this is something that their competitors like united american delta have been doing for a while now. now southwest will be able to do that. they're also going to be offering overnight red-eye flights for the first time they say this will increase efficiency. they'll be using the plane's more and they hope that they said that customers have i've been clamoring for these issues and that when people switch to other airline, the number one reason they give is open seating. so they hope that this will attract more fliers newer flyers, and more flying from the people who are already customers. >> i get that. i mean, see when i go to the airport, i want certainty about something there's so much uncertainty, but i do understand people saying that they did like it's i stand a little bit corrected

there when when might we see those whose to who like it will still have a few more months because when it comes to more leg room that's going to take a total of 2025. they had to reconfigure the planes, give more space for those premium seats otherwise, for the rest of the changes, southwest said we'll hear more about them in september, so we don't yet know exactly when they'll take place. we also don't know what they're going to change their their fees for baggage and for changing trichinella a flight. >> but lest you think this is about altruism, this is about money as most things are theta jones, great to see you. thank you very much. >> kate. >> certainty emergency when it comes to fly, these days, john hahaha yourself coming up for u.s. president biden says he's passing the torch in an emotional address, how he plans to try and lock in his legacy in his now final six months and the white house it's like tv

achievements in the last 50 years, will not be forgotten. and he's told us he's not done yet. it was an emotionally powerful speech. and one of great political self-sacrifice to set the stage for the next generation of leaders to choose hope over hate as he told us the contrast yesterday between joe biden and donald trump was so stark. biden has always had such pride in this country. it's not a stupid country like donald trump would suggest i saying that donald trump is insults all americans. and i know we all feel that and of course, i have layers. a feelings about him leaving the race. he's a man who has set such a high standard. an example of statesmanship for me personally and for our nation. and he proves character does still matter. and he told us now we have a choice between yesterday and tomorrow. the gift of the future i think his ability to get back up and saying course through

extraordinary personal tragedy has inspired me, particularly in the last two years as i grieve the loss of my own husband after nearly 40 years so i think he thought of continuing to unite his party with the endorsement of kamala harris. that was that was big in his mind. the fact that this country faces. he has a history of giving qualified women a platform as he did with me opening the proverbial door for talented women and it was not normal to have a woman chief of staff in the senate in the 90s. and he gave me that opportunity. and i think he thinks that's he recognizes. it's time to just step out of the driveway for his vice president to walk through. and she has what has really he has certainly pass the torch to kamala harris douglas. i want to ask you, you are a fabulous historian and have been watching all this happen. and i know, you know this, but i want to remind our viewers of the last time a president decided not to to run for a second term. i think the error was in

the 1960s, the president was lbj let's listen to what he said and how he did it accordingly. i shall not seek and i will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your president so you saw that there that was from march 31, 1968 the result of the same, but the can you speak to just how remarkably different the reasons are for these two presidents to step down well, of course, i'm lyndon johnson stepped down because the vietnam war that year began 1968 with the tet offensive. >> it showed that there was no light at the end of the tunnel in vietnam as general william westmoreland, it promised that we were going to be in for a long slog and his health was deteriorating. lyndon johnson's also each we had heart attacks, high blood

pressure hypertension, and his wife, lady bird johnson, wanted him out. they felt she felt you done their earth time and he had done his in washington best to get back to the texas hill what country? and alas, with eugene mccarthy running for president against the war, senator from minnesota. and robert f kennedy. about to jump into the race. he just thought i'm going to get out of this thing and manage the war he got rave reviews for doing so for a few weeks, but then in short order, dr. martin luther king junior was murdered and then bobby kennedy was murdered. and then there was chaos at the chicago democratic convention. and out of all of that ended up being richard nixon, the conservative two-term eisenhower vice president and once failed presidential nominee, he became the man of the year nixon. >> there's always this warrant. what fear of what we're repeating 68. what could

joe biden do to avoid that he johnson and humphrey stayed to link together i think kamala harris has to distance herself from president biden take 75% of the policies, their share, their biden-harris policies, their big wins at we just heard and grab onto those and be proud but deviate where she feels she needs to deviate in the ways he talks about women's reproductive rights or the way that she wants to do it to say something with more nuance about the protesters on campuses or the gaza israel war in general yeah. >> it's interesting. you sat and talk about the repeat of 1968 and the democratic national convention is going to be held in chicago. a coincidence that nobody could have counted on. i do want to ask you, doug, just quickly, how you think president biden's legacy is going to be remembered? >> well, he's now a one-term

precedent and when you assess some, he reminds me of in some ways, jimmy carter and george herbert walker bush both at this stage in time they were running for reelection, had about a 38% approval rating very much like biden's blows to precedence. we pull back now decades later and we rave about how good they were. we look at george herbert, walker bush, and gill with the breakup of the soviet union and german reunification handling loose nukes and liberating kuwait and apprehending from manuel noriega. and you look at jimmy carter and they start piling up camp david, human rights panama canal treaty. first president to recognize people's republic of china, creation of superfund sites. the list is long saving more so much land in alaska for preservation that there's so much that's the size of california but both bush and carter couldn't, couldn't

finish out because the public didn't understand that they were doing so well. and i think that's what's with president biden all right. >> jimmy carter perhaps the most prolific post-presidency than anyone has ever had. douglas brinkley, susan platt. thank you both so much for taking the time with us this morning. john so this morning will extreme heat threatened the paris olympics? new concerns that these high temperatures could hold up the opening ceremony how would you land on monday? bombing from your saturday at nine on cnn? >> at simply safe, we designed the number one rated home security system, powered by 24/7 professional monitoring for half the cost of production additional security. so you stay safe for less than $1 a day. there's no safe like simply safe merely a turnoff alarm. >> emilia, whether reasons amelia unlocked the door. >> i'm afraid i can't do that
