after j.d. vance called harris a chameleon, trump participated in a roundtable with black business owners in atlanta it's before the rally. let's go now to cnn's alayna treene, who is there in atlanta. alayna, what are we expecting to hear from trump as they now try to sharpen their message against vice president comma well, harris well, jessica, we're going to see donald trump take the stage any minute now. i'm told him, look, i think we're going to hear some new lines the attacks from him tonight. i know from my conversations with several of donald trump's senior advisors that they are still working their playbook and trying to figure out the best that's the way to define harris. and you really have heard a plethora of attacks from trump over the last several days. >> oh lucky, is actually coming out right now behind me, so it's going to get a little bit loud. >> so bear with me. but what i'm thinking, i want to point out here is that two weeks ago, was just after the republican national convention. it's like a lifetime ago, but it was only

two weeks ago and donald trump in his party had a very different message and they had an entirely different opponent. donald trump has been, had been urged. at that point to really focus on policy and to continue to try to share a message that was more about uniting the party that is completely changed. now that were two weeks later, we've seen donald trump really got to delve back to that 2016 playbook. he used when he was attacking hillary clinton when he was being so much more personal and nasty with his attacks, we saw that this week at the nabj conference, donald trump has notched tried to walk back those remarks instead he is leading you heard him as well as other people this evening, lean into those attacks as well. >> and so i think you can expect some of that on the stage tonight. jessica. >> all right. alayna treene, is there in georgia for us. thank you so much for that reporting. and we're going to keep an eye on that rally as well. once the

former president comes out tonight, the harris campaign closing in on a pick for vice president. of course, a critical choice that is probably one of the most consequential decisions so far of kamala harris is political career harris is expected to narrow down this list of top vp contenders before making the big announcement ahead of a planned rally in philadelphia on tuesday, cnn's priscilla alvarez is tracking the harris campaign during the tail end of what has been a very intense since yvette process really happening in a condensed timeline, priscilla, the campaign moving quickly, and we're hearing some new details this evening. what can you tell us? >> yeah, we're learning more about her face-to-face meetings with some of these vp contenders, which tells us that they are starting to close. this process. of course this could continue over the course of the weekend and we're still the timeline here has always been that tuesday rally when they want to unveil the running mate. but they're working against the clock here and what we're learning from a source is that tim waltz, the

minnesota governor, will be meeting tomorrow, or at least will have an interview tomorrow with the vice vice president. he has been one of the people on the shortlist as she also ways others, you see pictures of them there, including, for example pennsylvania governor josh shapiro and arizona senator mark kelly. now, we got to this moment after days of team poring over documents as they worked this accelerated timeline to vet or potential running mate picks that was led by former attorney general, eric holder, who has been working with a team he was seen going into the naval observatory, the vice president's residence earlier today, and the plan for today was to present presentations. so sixth see you to 90 minutes of walking through each of the contenders. now of course, that could go long or short, the vice president is known over the course of her political career to ask a lot of questions and to drill down on the details. so that was

expected today and the follow-up has been that there will be interviews formerly conducted by the vice president. so we're inching closer to that, especially learning now that tim waltz will be one of the people she interviews tomorrow. but of course, one of the top considerations for the vice president has been electability who could strengthen her chances. and help democrats across the electoral map. but then too who is what chemistry she has with them? of course she does not have a personal or close relationship with these contenders. so that is also part of the calculus and something that the team has been working on. in addition to the focus groups and the polling done on all of these candidates. so the vice president and working around the clock here, she knows what the office entails. she holds it now and that is going to partially inform how she makes her decision moving forward. but again, going back to the new detail here is that she's

going to interview tim waltz tomorrow. he's expect to be one of maang others who will be interviewed after they had a day hunkering down on these presentations on each of those on her shortlist. but certainly a very tight deadline. jessica. >> all right. and priscilla, we're also hearing some new details about harris's husband. second gentleman, doug emhoff, regarding an affair in his previous marriage. what can you tell us about that? >> cnn exclusively obtained a statement from doug emhoff about that affair. of course, this was after alleged details of that relationship were published by a british tabloid and in his statement, he says, quote, during my first marriage, kyrsten and i went through some tough times times on account of my actions. i took responsibility and in the year since we work through things as a family and have come out stronger on the other side now that british tabloid, the daily mail had reported that emhoff had a relationship with his then young daughters teacher, which resulted in the end of his first marriage now, for years ago, sources tell us

this came up in the vetting process for president biden. he was searching for his running mate and considering vice president kamala harris, were also told that this relationship ended years before he started dating his now wife, the vice president kamala harris, and that he was also told about he told her about it before they got married. now it also note that we did get a statement from his ex-wife, and in that statement today, she says that he is a great father to our kids, continues to be a great friend and she goes on to say that she's proud of the warm and supported blended family dog kamel and i have built together in on that front, we should note that his ex-wife has supported and defended the vice president in recent days. and that to the second gentleman, doug emhoff, has been on the campaign trail and increasing the pace of his fundraising and campaigning all right. >> priscilla alvarez for us there in washington, dc. thank you so much. i want to go back now to atlanta, georgia, where former president donald trump is speaking at a rally. let's listen but but the school

administration stopped us from getting another 500, 600, or even thousand people in thousands of people were told no. and that was there's okay. but we could have fit another 600 people so i don't know anything about this i don't know anything about but they could have allowed more people. he got people standing outside is livid. all the people outside, they could have come in. they credit government so we're not happy. hello, out there and then they actually push the people very far away from the building where we have beautiful cameras set up for the overflow grads the administration of the school, so i'm not sure if i'm going to be sending anybody to the school 11, not happy about it if they're going to stay and in the way of admitting people to rally just imagine what they're going to do on

election day. >> will not 94 days from now, we're going to win the great state of georgia and an epic last and we're going to defeat crazy kamala. kamala, you know, there's about 19 different ways of saying if she only likes three biden never even came close hamas al-ahsa gay, hammerlock, know it's kamala we're going to evict this radical and incompetent administration from the white house they're destroying our country. we're going to save our we're going to save our country yesterday it was announced that unemployment is surging with 350,000 americans joining the unemployment minerals just less bad day where we could end up in a

depression, we could end up in world war three and a depression. how about that good, happened to under harris biden policies. we now have the highest unemployment rate in three years just came out yesterday even a surprise, those numbers with terrible if harris wins this election, you will quickly have a camila economic crash. she going to have a crash. you could also have a crash like in 1929 hi, and more specifically, because that's where we're heading when we when you will rapidly see a brand new trump economic boom, it's going to be bombing i, like it was four years ago with your vote, inflation will stop the illegal aliens will be turned back then not come in and we got to stop did you see where she's now saying, oh, we had a very good border. oh,

great they had the worst border in the history of the world. >> it's all misinformation that's all hey, good at that. and cheating on elections are very good at that the cartels will be crushed, crime will plummet, incomes will soar. the wars will end and the hurricane dream will come roaring back. bigger, better, and stronger than ever before, right thank you but with four more years of kamala, the california socialists, you know, she destroyed san francisco then she destroyed the whole state look at what's going on in california with your family and our country. >> it'll never recover if you have any more time with these people. it's already i'm worried about the next three months. you think about it. >> these people are grossly incompetent. you'll end up in world war three. >> i'll tell you and i hope i'm not right about that dinner. give us either hats.

trump is right about everything. i don't want to be right about her policies have open borders and doubled digit inflation and inflation like we've never seen before. >> it's destroying middle-income families, working families, all families will demolish your life savings 40 or 50 million illegal aliens will invade our country during the next four years of therein 40 or 50 medicare and social security she said she wants to put everybody on healthcare. you know, that's wonderful. it's a wonderful, first of all, they shouldn't be told to come here. many of them were fine where they were, but no country can sustain the social security will buckle in collapses, suburbs will be overrun with violent crime and savage foreign gangs that's what they do. it, you know, they're sending all their gangs into the united states, right? look this front row joes, you didn't get into the front row. what happened here i oh, what happened.

>> thank you. >> we have front row joes. they been to 200 and 29 rally and then look at these people these i call them the beautiful ladies and you're not allowed to say that anymore. it's the end of your political career. you say beautiful you're barely allowed to say, ladies right because that could also be destructive, but they're beautiful the ladies, and they're great and they've been to 200 and rallies from north carolina happily married i got to talk to them way over 200 rallies and they're incredible people. >> thank you very much. by the way. thank you. appreciate together, we will stop kamala harris is nation reckoning tell you what, when you see what

she's done to her nations, she's wreckage and our nation, the radicalism will take back our country from the worst administration in american history biden was the worst president in the history of our country, sees acknowledged to be the worst vice president does the day in the history of our country she doesn't have a clue. you know, if she doesn't have a teleprompter, she can't even speak to just hear the other night they put a camera and if she can't even talk, we just went through four years. let's not go through another no, it's terrible. >> you know, there we go. by the way. >> i'd like to congratulate vladimir putin for having made yet another great deal. >> you just see the deal with woodmont. now look, we want to get people in, you know, we got 59 hostages. i never paid anything they released some of

the greatest killers anywhere in the world will some of the most evil killers they got and we got our people back. but boy, we make some horrible, horrible deals and it's nice to say we got him back but does that set a bad precedent? >> birth? right. does that send a bear does that set a bad precedent? burke harris says the most ultra left wing yeah, gender of any presidential candidate ever in history, there has never been anybody like this she is considered more left-wing than crazy bernie sanders, look at her she's worse than burning and she happens to be really a low iq individual. surely go says the very low iq we don't need a low iq president xi of china said, oh, good, we have another one, a low iq and debris federal. >> they love dealing with low iq. they love dealing with low

iq people and they got him here. i'll tell you. we got them all she is terrible. >> she's worse than i think she's worse than him by the way, i don't feel sorry for him because he's a bad guy. he's weaponized the whole thing and nobody's ever done that in this country, but he's a bad guy. but people feel sorry for him they did a coup. he just doesn't know it but actually he does know it. you know, that they said joe, you got 14 million votes. it's yours, but you're going to give it up. >> i'm going to give it up right now. >> joe, you're given an up right now no, i'm not i was elected democratically i was elected. >> know you've given it up, joe, we're either going to do it the nice way or the hard way jail, you get the hell out and it was debate performance so here's what happened and the debate, you know, we went there was the highest rated debate ever and which was a great

complement and as i left the debate stage, i took off because other people are entering the stage. you understand? i said i don't want to confront other people. so we had a great debate. but as i left cnn, i won't say who. but they said that was the single greatest debate performance i've ever seen. and this one on for two days, they were saying how great i was on the third day that didn't mentioned that anymore. they said he was terrible. >> i liked it the first way better. >> i made him choked. don't kid yourself. we made them chuckle he was shokin like it dog. >> he was joking there was joking like a dog that was the end of him. i mean, that was the end from that. then they said, okay, this was a disaster sir so then they started doing interviews with people that are, you know, 100% bought the

media, the fake news media. they had some people interviewing him like george slop, adopt balah's abc. their abc's one of the worst, but they're all sort of bad when you get right down. but abc's ban and they're asking him hardball questions like where did you stay last night did you think you did well in the debate, even though you did he ever see gotten to debate? so they give you like two minutes to answer and you want to use them. he got so much fertility in there. you want to use up every second and it answer a question. you have 92 seconds left. and i kept saying, i'll take them and he said, oh you have 92 seconds left. he goes, oh this is not what he wanted it left a lot of time on the board but i went right down to the last second.

>> i didn't want to go a little bit over because i know they've got they want to cut but they were very fair actually see an shockingly honestly they were very fair. they want to do another one, you know, we're doing one with fox if she shows up, i don't think she's going to she can't talk. she could read a teleprompter. i give her about his six on a scale of 106 for tolkien, i'd give her less than a one we need people that can talk camila pledge to give free taxpayer funded healthcare to all illegal aliens. hadiya like that idea which will destroy social security. she called for the abolition of listen, ice i know some people here, two of them are really tough guys. they're fighters, they're vicious people that good, tough people. they don't want to work for ice. ice will go into

a pack of ms 13 killers and thugs and for about two minutes, you just see fierce fighting back and forth back and then they stand up and they win. and they grabbed him, they throw him in a paddy wagon. they get them the hell out of the country. >> and she's calling them she's calling them the equivalent of kkk. >> okay and she loves deadly said thanks, york city is by the way, all of the things you are hearing now. >> she is now denying. but you know, the one good thing about the internet, you press a button and you got it, although they are trying to delete everything you know, they changed the picture of me from a couple of weeks ago and they really radicalized that they changed it using ai. they changed it. they had all the people on the stage who are angry and they were smart and sharp and very brave and they had them all big smiles on can you believe that they put the agents who i have to tell you

say what you want. those people were brave. they were running to me and the bullets were flying secret service was they were very brave. i couldn't say they were very brave. >> they were running at me and they knew the bullets were gone right over my head at that appoint the first one was not a good situation. not a good situation. that was really that was really something credible that was from god, that was the chances that was no, that was from for all of you nonbelievers, that one was forgotten, right that was okay. you're listening to former president donald trump, who was railing with supporters. there

in the battleground state of georgia, worth fact checking a few things that he said that are simply not true president joe biden has not weaponized the justice department against him. there is no no proof of democrats cheating in the last election or stealing that election also, the prisoner swap was not a financial situation as he implied. so again, just a few of the falsehoods that we did hear there. i want to bring in our panel. let's talk more with republican strategist maura gillespie and pizzi. we also i believe have priscilla alvarez with us in washington dc that we can go to as well maura, let's start first with you. i thought it was interesting. he said camilla's name, right? and it's been a long time since he's been able to do that. kamala harris, the vice president he said there's 19 wasted to say it, although i think we can all agree all of our names only have one pronunciation that our parents gave us what do you make of their continued evolution on

trying to message against the vice president who is now at the top of the ticket surely, when i look at this and hearing all the tangents that he just went on in his opening remarks, that were an hour late. i'll point out to me. it just sounds like he's really rattled by kamala harris and by the situation that he's now presented with because a few weeks ago he thought he had this in the bag and this past week, he is really seemed to kind of go off the deep end with a lot of things. and he's pulling out the 2016 donald trump that is going for personal and petty really juvenile attacks that are big turnoff to a majority of the country but yet his you know, people are echoing it and j.d. vance, is that going it? people at this rally have an echoing it today before he got on stage to me, it just really does seem as though he is woefully unprepared to go after the policy issues because he's not

comfortable doing that for him, his comfort zone is two be a bully and to make gmail comments and to me, i think that's a disservice to the people he's supposed to be out there supporting and defending and standing up for and policy issues. he's not talking policy pete, look, if you look at the numbers. yes. the vice president getting in, she does have some momentum. she's been able to tighten this race, but it's still a very tight race. the former president could, could absolutely win in november and knowing that we, you look to see what his strategy might be as he continues to to try to build a coalition that would be a winning coalition that is going to meet to involve some independent swing voters that he's been trying to court what do you make of his messaging as we see him revert back a lot of people who have followed him a long time to essentially 2016, donald trump, is that the effective? the message for someone that needs to bring in additional voters to win he's

adapting to this new race the way i adapt to a flight cancellation, and that's what pure rage. >> but i will give him some grace here. three weeks ago at an almost this exact minute he was the target of an assassination attempt. two weeks ago, tomorrow, his presumed opponent dropped out of the race. a lot of twists and turns unexpectedly have come our way in just a short amount of time. they're still trying to i feel this out. they're still trying to figure out exactly what the message should be. >> now kamala harris is an opposition researchers dream because of all the very left positions that she took in 2019 when she was running for the democratic nomination for president. >> and now that she's flip flopping and being inconsistent on those positions. but there's one quote that trump said in this rally, and i'll paraphrase it. i may not get verbatim, but it we've been through enough in the last four

years. we can't take it for another four years. that i think is a powerful message. if he can be disciplined and remained disciplined enough to keep reminding the american people what we've gone through, the prices of groceries and gas and travel and everything skyrocketing and continuing to be high, that could be a very, very strong framing of who kamala harris is. and what four years of her presidency would look like and priscilla pete mentioned it, but we did hear it from the former president as well. >> republicans continue to seize upon the vice president's policy positions during that 2019 primary leading into the 2020 race has the campaign. what do you know? what are you learning about how the campaign is going to be taking that on to combat the narrative that xi is too liberal there are certainly a lot of questions still in terms of how she approaches these policy positions where there's daylight with where she's

been, where there may be changes and that is part part of why we saw her policy shot the campaign's policy shop also beef up over the course of the last week and we still have a lot of questions and those will likely be answered soon in terms of where she stands on these various policies. >> of course, remember that she became the leader of the party's ticket in short order. so a lot but of these things are still being worked out. what the campaign is aware of though, is that the former president and republicans will continue their line of attack on border security that has been a political vulnerability for the biden-harris administration over the last three years, it was going to be a liability for president biden as candidate, and that extends now to the vice president only minutes after opening up this rally, the former president talked about the us-mexico border. what was notable this week, however, is that the vice president put out a campaign video where she went toe to toe with former president donald

trump, where they come paired his policies and her policies leaning on, for example, her time as attorney general when she tackled transnational criminal organizations, and then also talking about that failed border security bill, that was something that democrats have seized upon over the last several months because it was scuttled by the former president that was an interesting and notable decision by the campaign because up until this point, democrats have tried to keep that at a distance. she also mentioned it in her remarks, so clearly they are also polishing their line of attack on immigration against former president donald trump, given that they know that that's a place where they'll be where he'll be i'll also note that the vice president has given us a glimpse on and how she's going to handle some of the more racist attacks this week after the former president said at that nabj panel that she had turned black. she had an event shortly after that where she called it the same old show and moved on to policies, essentially trying not to give it any air. and that too maybe

what we see from her in the weeks and months to come and lastly, i'll just note that the debate did come up in the course of the former president's rally, particularly the abc debate that has become the debate about the debate over the last 24 hours. and he said that he agreed to a fox debate and will not be going to that abc see debate. i will note there that the harris campaign has said that she will be showing up to that september abc debate that was previously agreed upon between then president biden, who is the candidate and former president donald trump. the campaign's understanding is that she will still get the air time. so that may turn perhaps into more of an interview than it debates that remains to be seen. but that is clearly going to be something that the former president needles the vice president on over the next few weeks and vice versa. in fact, today, the harris campaign, essentially using the former president's own words about any place anywhere on, or anytime, anywhere on the debate

to make the point think that he should debate her in september as was planned and more, priscilla makes a good point in kind of assessing where we are in this race and how harris is going to respond to these attacks because trump gets very personal, what we just heard from him was deeply personal attacks, calling her a low on iq individual, among other things. >> and yet as priscilla noted, she telegraphed what appears to be their strategy, which is say it's the same old show. she turned it back and said america deserves better earlier this week and then moved on. it wasn't this overshoot, not giving it so much oxygen, not really overreacting to it, trying to bring the focus back to the race do you think this is the right strategy she has a short time to really show herself to the american people. >> and i do think that not playing or steepening low to what donald trump is doing here as he sort of navigates how he's going to handle the debate cycle and the next few months of the election yeah. i

mean, she's he's focused on how to one address her record because that is going to be once once republicans actually get back to policy issues, that will be a problem for her and a weakness for her. but she still has to focus on a vp pick and then solidify the ticket and campaign as the names that she's going to be on the ticket width. so yes, i think ignoring some of the stuff that trump is saying serves her because she's rising above it but i also think that both candidates need to be looking at how to appeal to the moderate voters that are undecided on both tickets, and how to reach them. and for republicans, i'll say the big tent party is supposed to be more inviting and more encompassing unfortunately, we're not seeing that it's really taking a it's drastic shifts since the convention where it was his idea of unity and i think the kamala harris has an opportunity to target where donald trump has largely abandoned by recently today making comments saying he's going to purge the party of those who don't support him. his the republican leader so i think that there's an opportunity there to capitalize an eye i think they need to be

procedure and how they do that. you can't obviously respond to every single thing that donald trump says that'd be a full-time job. i no, i when he was president, it was really hard to do that with his atlanta's tweets and things of that nature. but for kamala harris team, they should be strategic and pointing out some of the things he does say and how best i can capitalize on it. >> and then pete, just lastly, before we go hearing the former president essentially praise putin, congratulate him on the prisoner swap. really criticize what was a triumph and getting these americans home and really what was like encapsulation of president biden's view of how foreign relations and work with your allies should work versus trump's view, which is a very, very different approach. but what do you think about how he is characterizing? this prisoner swap that we saw this week he's certainly trying to politicize it and i think that is a mistake. >> the presidency is about

weighing pros and cons and sometimes choosing from a menu of all bad options this prisoner swap was a victory for the american presidency, for the institution of the presidency, for multilateral alliances, for diplomacy. all the things that we should stand for, for the values of america. we are the only country on earth that could bring six others, six other countries to give gather to make this historic agreement possible. and to bring americans home, we should all be celebrating that all, right priscilla alvarez, maura gillespie, pete, seat. >> my thanks to all of you. have a great saturday and we'll be right back tv on the edge moments that shaped our culture

think a ron might be struggling with here? is it about calibration? it is as the additional military power from the u.s. is that factoring into their decision making you know somebody in the biden administration told me that a lot of time people in america thing that the u.s. >> interagency process is complicated and takes too long. and that in other countries, especially countries in the middle east, everything is much faster. well, apparently, this official told me that's not the case. and the iranians also have planning process to go through. and at least at that point, the final plans for the response have not been approved by supreme leader hemedti therefore, i think we still have i think something like 24 to 48 hours before that's going to happen and i also want to ask you about some new reporting you have on what you

kind of categorized as a tough call between president biden and israeli president, are israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu on thursday, what have you learned about that phone call so this was a very tough call, maybe even very, very, very tough call. maybe the toughest call between netanyahu and biden since october 7 with the president telling netanyahu three things. first you just you were just here at the oval office for the first time in four years and you told me that you're going to move towards a hostage deal two days later you go and you assassinate the hamas political leader in tehran second thing biden tells, but anyhow, we're going to help you now to defeat the rainy responds. >> but right after my expectation is that you will move immediately to a hostage deal and the third thing that biden said, don't take us for granted. if you escalate

another time after we defeat uranium the response you do, you do not. you shouldn't count on me, joe biden, to bail you out one small from your reporting. >> do you is your take away that president biden or the and or the administration views that assassination as an escalation no doubt nobody mourns, nobody in the white house, especially in joe biden. >> and i heard it from at least five white house officials. they were all very happy that this melania is not with us anymore because the biden administration said from day one that all of those responsible to the october 7, moscow should be brought to justice this way or another. but i think that the timing when it seemed that we're at a critical point of about the hostage deal. and the way it was done in the place it was done in the middle of tehran i think the president and his top

advisers thought that this was an escalatory move that pushes further away a hostage deal and makes a regional war much more likely. >> all right, barak ravid, always great to have you. thank you so much for your reporting. we appreciate it thank you, jessica. still ahead. three americans back in the u.s. after being freed from russian prisons including paul whelan, were joined by the congresswoman for wheelen's michigan hometown to talk about his beliefs when we come back this is the, home for the world's most essential stories in journalism. and now, cnn has been recognized with the most emmy nominations of any organization. this year this is cnn. when they had dinner, said bell lapse is going away. your boy flavor flav said not today, grab a boy and they got two flavors. roasted garlic. no

he doesn't have a house he lost his dog. he doesn't have a job. he's receiving medical care in san antonio and it's a transition. it's a big adjustment, so we're certainly giving the families space, but also planning for what's next. a lot of times with these wrongful detentions, the individuals, they get hit with tax bills surprise bills that just a crude while they were gone. and then how do you go back to the credit bureau and say, hey, i was falsely held in a russian labor camp prison for the last five years so we plan to be doing a lot for paul as needed, going forward. >> and what does that look like? what role does government play in this situation? because it is, you're right, it's unique to go back to a credit bureau and say, hey, i was in a russian prison camp wrongfully detained. >> look, i think paul whelan has changed the world and certainly we can look back to our defense appropriation from last year, a big package that

got passed an included in that was designating march 9 as hostage and wrongful detention day the hostage flag that was flown over the white house. the day paul all sue and evan returned. that's now a national designated flag. we have resources for families. is as they're navigating these complex negotiations, coordinating between government agencies, like we saw elizabeth whelan do year over year, week after week, and exhausting personal resources. and then thinking forward, we do have more legislating to do. we do have a task force formed on hostages and wrongful detentions. it's bipartisan. this is something that brings together or congress and we want to take the temperature down. jessica, we want to make sure that these don't continue to happen because putin taking paul whelan, this is the canary in the coal mine to the lawlessness that we've seen him in borrower can at the global stage now with illegal

dr. sanjay gupta. listen wherever you get your podcasts questions about the economy us markets down sharply on friday after that disappointing jobs report, the u.s adding only 114,000 jobs last month that's less than expected unemployment raising, rising to its highest in three years. >> it's something that foreign president trump seized on in his rally that is currently ongoing in georgia, joining us now, mark zandi, the chief economist at moody's analytics. mark, thanks so much for being here with us. we appreciate it. >> what do you think about this data that we're getting from them? >> this new jobs report what was just pointing the job market is still very good by any historical measure, but it's weakening. >> you can see that in the client in a number of hires, you can see it in hours work per week, tech jobs are down businesses tend to cut back on temp workers before they cut back on full-time workers. >> probably most disconcerting it was the increase in

unemployment, 4.3%. >> that's where we are today. that's still very, very low by any historical standard. so that's good, but it is up allied, it's up almost a percentage point with the past year, particularly for folks that have less than a high school degree. so, you know the job market is good, but the trend lines are a bit disconcerting that some of that's by design that the reserves been working to slow things down and cool things off. >> but i suspect things are cooling off more than they would hope for at this point. and the way i kind of understood it it's the push and pull between when to cut rates and doing that. so you don't get this you know, this jobs, you don't get a bad jobs reports and that it's a very delicate balance at those two, as you were just alluding to kind of go together and they have to balance it and they're looking to september for the next rate cut, if they were to do that, is that kind of what we're seeing play out is how they're trying to kind of stick the landing in a way

you're trying to balance things, jessica, i mean, they've been working really hard to get inflation back in the bottle. >> and at the same time not push the economy into recession. so they've raised interest rates in an effort to do all that and so it's a real balance is a judgment call you know, my sense is if the folks at the fed reserve, they met this past week and they decided not to cut interest rates i suspect that they had this jobs number before they actually met they probably would have cut interest rates they're low, slow to this in my view, they should be cut been cutting already but i think, you know, after yesterday's jobs numbers, given the good inflation statistics, the balance that the judgment they're making here is now pointing to some rate cuts. so when they meet again in september almost assuredly they're going to cut rates. it's really now a question of how much they're going to cut rates and is that too late? >> will this be something that throws everything off balanced by september or is that going to be okay. as they try to

balance all of this i think it'd be okay, you know, the economy is very resilient. it's, it's really been quite strong than 4.3% of employment race very good the key to keeping out of recession is consumers keep spending a particularly middle and high-income consumers that do most of the spending, know when you think about it, they're doing quite well. they have a job their wages are rising faster than inflation. they've got any dead, it's a mortgage loan and they locked in low interest rate the stock market was down on friday, but it's up an awful lot over the past several years, so much wealthier most people going home two-thirds of americans own their own home. they're sitting pretty because their house prices are up. so you kind of mix that all up and look that you say consumers are going to hang tough to hang tough, economy will be just fine despite the mistakes and judgment i think that that is made i think we should be good. but having said all of that, the fed's got to start cutting interest rates
