morning with kasie hunt. >> next it's friday, august 16, right now on cnn this morning. donald trump's struggling to stay on message leveling more personal attacks against kamala harris insisting he is entitled to do that she's been made one hell of a president vice president kamala harris appearing at an event with president biden for the first time since we're placing him at the top of the ticket and five people, including two doctors facing criminal charges in the death of beloved friends it's actor matthew perry all right. 5:00 a.m. here in washington, a live look at the capitol dome on this friday morning. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's great to have you with us. we made it to friday kamala

harris and joe biden appearing together for the first time since harris replaced biden at the top of the ticket, the pair touting a major new agreement to lower the price of ten top selling prescriptions that are commonly used by medicare patients. harris celebrating the man whose historic decision allowed her to take his place as the democratic nominee of course, i could speak all afternoon of the person that i am standing on this stage there's a lot of. >> love in this room for our president and i think it's for many, many reasons and biden at times treated the whole thing like a political rally folks i've been incredible partner progress. we've made. she's going to make one hell of a president with the guy we're running against but his name

donald duck meanwhile, donald trump appearing at his own event in new jersey surrounded by groceries. >> trump spoke about the economy and blamed biden and harris for inflation specifically highlighting the cost of household items and how that's gone up he didn't take too long to start with the insults i think i'm entitled to personal attacks. >> i don't have a lot of respect for i don't have a lot of respect for her intelligence and i think she'll be a terrible president and i think it's very important that we win and whether the personal attacks or good or bad. i mean, she's certainly attacks me personally she actually called me weird all right. >> joining me now is capitol hill reporter for axios juliegrace brufke and white house reporter for the wall street journal, catherine lucey, welcome to both of you you know, we've we've spent a lot of time over the last eight years talking about how donald trump insults people. clearly

biden kind of got in on that yes i think we should make sure we put all that sort of name calling and the same category. it is what it is trump trump here, doesn't seem to take kindly to being called weird was kind of my takeaway from what he said right there. >> you know, he was pushing back. i mean, the other thing obviously that i think is noteworthy about the the trump event yesterday is that his advisers, i think would really like him to talk more about things like inflation, prices or the border immigration. and he really is sticking to a lot of these personal attacks and what he always does but it's not clear that this is the best use of his time, right now. >> yeah. and i mean, the props that they had set up for him lend themselves to that. i mean, the prices of many of the goods that he was standing near are in fact much higher juliegrace brufke. i mean does did the staging of that event and the way that he handled that event assuage republican concerns about the way trump has been campaigning. >> i mean, definitely not. so last night, house republicans

had their political call. richard hudson, the nrcc chairman and it was very adamant that republicans are dealing with his whole new climate and they need to stay on message and they need to kind of stick to kind of painting. harris and walz as being the most extreme ticket it's not arguing that she's responsible for the inflation that we've seen now we've kind of seen a slight down in inflation. we saw come out yesterday. so i mean, how that messaging is going to move going forward for them remains to be seen on how the economy looks around the election. but i think for mike johnson column members to avoid personal attacks. so i think within the top of the ticket with that rhetoric and contends to trickle-down, down-ballot. so we'll see how they manage that yeah. catherine stephen collinson, who's a friend of the show and it kind of paints the big pictures for us here at cnn every day. >> he wrote this about kind of what we're seeing from trump, quote, the ex president insulted his way into the oval office in 20 16 when his often on hinge soliloquy is that shattered? all the rules of decorum in politics delighted grassroots republican voters,

craving an anti-establishment revolution but eight years on the now familiar act is getting tired. a reality that's been thrown into sharp relief now that trump is facing and new campaign against a younger, more energetic opponent rather than a rerun against 81-year-old biden. the former president, is driving his strategists to distraction by refusing to stay on focused on the issues like the economy. that could help him prevail in november, i think the thing that stood out to me the most really is how in this shift is how harris does provide this contrast to what we see from donald trump when trump was running against biden, it played very differently. what he did and said that it does against harris. >> yeah, well, certainly when complimenting its biden, there was a lot of anxiety among democrats and independents about biden's age, about his performance. and so a lot of trump's commentary played into that, right? but now with harris, you really do have a huge shift in the candidate, the momentum we're seeing on the left and harris and walz are really emphasizing. i'm

trying now play up the idea that they're running a joyful campaign, that they're running an upbeat campaign, that they're offering something new, that they're offering a fresher fracture. take and you could tell i think that trump is concerned about this. he is frustrated about what he's seeing in terms of their crowds and the momentum. and of course, it's still, you know, trump is still very popular with his base. he still has a lot of support and he still does pull better sure ben harris is doing on some key issues like immigration is doing slightly better on the economy still, i think that's why his advisers would like him too. focus more on those topics because there are key strengths for him still, but certainly there has been a big tonal shift in the campaign juliegrace on the economy specifically, there's been according this week that the harris campaign was heartened by a poll in the financial times that showed her kind of overtaking trump in terms of trust on the economy seen some numbers also from i believe was the pbs poll that shows that harris is sort of tightening

with trump in terms of trust on the economy sheet that poll found that she still has not as trusted but that she is more trusted than joe biden was against trump how do republicans look at that as a potential game changer in this election? i think it's something that they're definitely going to to worry about. we heard her. i think it was yesterday that she came out with her anti price gouging kind of platform there. and i think you're going to hear a lot from them saying that she's been in office for four years. that could've been doing lot more to combat that. now, you're going to be seeing a lot of more of the same that you've seen out of this administration's i think that's going to kind of largely be their line of attack there. but when people vote with their wallets and i think that's definitely the major concern for them there. for sure. all right. juliegrace brufke and catherine lucey. thank you both very much for starting us off this morning. i appreciate it. >> all right. straight ahead here on cnn this morning, five arrest in connection with the death of matthew perry, including two doctors and a personal and assistant. >> who investigators say took advantage of the troubled actor plus a new plan from the secret service to protect donald trump after last month's

the beloved friends star was found floating facedown in a jacuzzi at a specific policy, it's home last october the acute effects of ketamine led to his drowning. investigators say they uncovered in an underground network of drug dealers and suppliers responsible for distributing the drug that killed perry matthew perry sought treatment for depression and anxiety and went to a local clinic where he became addicted to intravenous ketamine i'm clinic doctors refused to increase his dosage. >> he turned to unscrupulous doctors who saw harry as a way to make quick money three of the five defendants in the case have already reached a plea agreement. one of the doctors who is charged allegedly exchanged denigrating text messages about the struggling actor he wrote in a text message in september 2023, quote. i wonder how much this moron will pay all right,

let's bring in cnn legal analyst and criminal defense attorney joey jackson. >> joel. good morning. it's always wonderful to have you on the show this story though, is just devastating we sad, and that comment that was made calling him a moron. what is your reaction to that and to all of this yeah casey, good morning to you. the reaction is, is that law enforcement has a major place and detecting and determined in deterring crime. and when you have an interagency task force that includes of course, the dea when. he's, office, i think that they played a significant and continue to play a significant role in terms of accountability. and here what you saw casey is them uniting these agencies in order to get at every single individual who might have and would have been involved in supplying matthew

perry with these with this drug that ultimately led to his death. and so i think what they will do and this is send a message of deterrence. and that deterrence message, of course to the issue of really matthew perry and others in terms of doctors and suppliers who might put this drug out here on the market and have it use detrimental e again it's others. so this is a big development, a very sad situation. and i think necessary on a part of law enforcement for sure. >> so the doctor, of course, has pleaded not guilty. here. one of the doctors i should say, here's how his lawyer is explaining why and how this all played out and why there is this not guilty plea. let's watch mr. perry was on ketamine treatment medically supervised medically prescribed, and while the u.s. >> attorney may disagree with dr. plasencia, is medical judgment there was nothing criminal at the time and more

importantly, the ketamine that was involved in mr. perry's passing was not related. mr. dr. plasencia, that was provided by another party sometime later? >> so is that a plausible defense here? i mean, what he's essentially referring to some of the details of how all this went down are are very troubling. but basically that he became addicted through this. his first he's prescribed this medication by the doctor. he later debts ketamine off the street because he needs more of it and they're saying there that's where this ketamine came from i mean, how hard is it going to be for prosecutors to get a conviction for this doctor? >> so it's a plausible explanation to be clear and absolutely this these are charges, right? three of course, to pleading guilty already won agreeing to plead guilty. that's the other doctor who supplied it to this individual's dr. the defense

attorney. and so yes, there'll be defenses in some of those will be viable. i think that major issue though kasie, is that you have the three who have agreed to plead guilty, who will be on team usa. and what i mean by that is they will be supplying information to the government and to prosecutors that might be contrary to the narrative of that attorney and so yes, certainly it could be that a doctor prescribed that initially it was lawful, it was pursuant to a plan and treatment and that the ketamine was gotten later at some other place by some other source, having nothing to do with the doctor, but that may of course be belied by text messages, email exchanges, and other information including direct evidence, which may seem to indicate otherwise what this point merely an allegation. anyone who's accused certainly this serves the presumption of innocence, but ultimately the truth is in the evidence, and i think that evidence will bear out is the case bears out, with regard to testimony and actual documentary evidence establishing what would the communications when supply, and how, if at all did it lead to

mr. perry's death? >> right. and of course, we're seeing a lot of pictures of perry as chandler bing. this is part of why he's just so beloved by so many across america. this really tragic story, joey jackson thank you very much for being with us. i appreciate it all right still ahead here on cnn this morning, another zoom call featuring jewish supporters of vice president there as well, a familiar attack line from donald trump against certain jewish voters reappears that one of his events plus new york city mayor near city's mayor, now facing even more legal trouble in a federal investigation anderson cooper, 360 tonight at 8:00 on cnn hey, vira locks, can you imagine the progressive lens of the future? you mean a lens engineered with artificial intelligence, powered by individual measurements of your visual behavior. a lens personalized to you by an slr expert

hurricane warning as officials urge residents to finish and get prepared back home millions across the southern us are dealing with heat alerts. let's get, let's get straight to derek van dam for us this morning. derek, good morning. >> good morning, casey. happy friday. there is a bit of glimmer of hope this morning with ernesto because overnight we have seen the storm struggled to really get its act together at struggling with what we call dry air. and so that's starting to erode some of the western side of the storm system that's good news for bermuda still a category two storm, it will still bring impacts to the area with strong winds, heavy rain, and of course, storm surge and large swells as well. but you can see the weakening trend even as it approaches saturday morning into bermuda, there are still hurricane warnings and then it's going to quickly exit across the north atlantic the other situation here though, is that an expanding winfield means that this storm will feel its impacts well outside of the center if the storm crosses over bermuda, or just to the

west, that of course will make into consideration how much wind impacts will be felt along the island of bermuda. but one thing's for sure, this is going to kick up some large swells along the eastern seaboard of the u.s the willington national weather service office actually asking media to get the word out that it's best to just stay out of the ocean this weekend because the rip tides and rip currents will be so dangerous. now, speaking of the u.s. it's the heat that is dominating our weather story across the nation's midsection, over 40 million americans under some sort of excessive heat alerts. houston all the way to oklahoma city and little rock you will feel the heat today, especially as you step outside the factor in the humidity, it is going to feel downright oppressive. look at the actual temperatures and oklahoma city today, 100 degrees one-on-one for dallas. and the above-average temperatures are only going to continue through the weekend and into next week, if you're looking for signs of summer, not necessarily across northeast, lots of blue on that map, kasie, so enjoy it while you can yes. >> i'll take it. all right.

>> and this is cnn alright, 5:31 a.m. here on the east coast a live look in new york city on this friday morning. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. donald trump holding an event last night aimed at combating anti-semitism. the former president speaking at his private golf club in new jersey hosting the event alongside megadonor, miriam adelson in his remarks, he also criticized jewish americans who vote for democrats fears people have to not vote by habit. >> you vote by habit for democrats and the democrats are really against you. now, if you look at what they're doing, they're absolutely against you. you have to you have to stop. you have to be smart in response on other zoom meeting for supporters of vice president harris this time a jewish women for kamala call, more than 30,000 people signed on for the event including

barbra streisand well it's been said that jewish women are known to speak out and tell you what they think and i'm one of them i'm so tired of hearing trump put down america, staying make america great again, because america has been great since 17 76. >> and it's still great and 2024 all right. >> joining me now, julia manchester national political reporter for the hill and reese bohrman, political reporter for notice. welcome to both of you. thank you so much for being here. reason my understanding is you were up at bedminster covering this kind of pair of events that donald trump had yesterday and before we continue talking, and i want to hear more about what it was like on the ground. i just want to remind everybody of what trump has said in the past about jewish voters and what it means if they vote for democrats in terms of there, he said a lot of things. let's just watch if you are jewish,

regardless of if you're jewish if you vote for a democrat, you're a fool. >> an absolute fool and any jewish person that votes for democrat or votes for biden should have their head examined hey, jewish person, that votes for democrats hates their religion. >> they hate everything about israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves. >> they tell me that they saw this. harris is husband, doug emhoff, mr. president, is jewish. he's jewish like bernie sanders is jewish. so you can mean he's a crappy jew. he's a horrible job so that of course, mostly the host there, but donald trump agreeing. yeah. yeah. what did you see at this event last night and what do you make of trump's latest comments in this main? >> this is just kind of typical trump where he really just talks about kind of, if you don't support him, then you're a terrible person. this is this and this just another example. that he thinks that you have to agree with what everything or else in this case you're a

quote horrible jew and like him attacking kamala harris, her husband's jewish and attacking that she says that i mean, i think he's also attacked chuck schumer and the past as well, saying that he's basically a palestinian now, who is the highest ranking jewish member of congress ever? and this is kind of the history that we've seen of trump with where if you don't agree with him on 100%, he's going to attack you regardless of the attacks have any kind of weight or not whatsoever. and another part of this event too is, i mean, just recently the new york times reported that ms adelson, who is this huge megadonor? >> yeah. >> let me pause you there because i want to remind everyone, we actually we have a little bit of that. so miriam adelson and for those who aren't familiar, was married to shelters sheldon adelson, who passed away. he's of course one of these major donor is not just to trump, but to republicans. and especially to the cause of israel and kind of melding those two things together. so here's what the times reported that reese was referring to a week before this fundraiser that was held on july 25, there were counting a fundraiser where trump is confronted by some of his

donors about his behavior. mr. trump had stunned one of his wealthiest patrons, miriam adelson, the widow of the casino magnate sheldon adelson, by having an aide fire off a series of angry text messages to mrs. adelson in trump's name. the text complained about the people running her super pac back into what she is pouring millions of dollars to support mr. trump at the time, the super pac was spending nearly 18 million on a week's worth of ads in three battleground states. and the texts said that the officials running preserve america were republicans in name. only, and that they would not stack up. they did not. miss is 8:00 since late husband would never have tolerated that this was kind of again, i think she was at the event they spoke privately beforehand too, and trying to mend the fences. >> and it seems like she is still in his corner that this doesn't this sway her one way or the other probably did anchor her, obviously but this is just again, this is kind of trump that we're seeing right now. who's pretty angry, like,

i know. so my reporting has had that he his advisors and people are trying to get him just stay on message, but he just keeps getting more and more angry and he's doing stuff like this that doesn't help his cause. >> yeah. i mean, it does seem like this event was specifically aimed at like his campaign looked at this and said we need to mend this fence and fast hundred percent. and so there was now julia manchester, one of the other things trump said here when he was talking about miriam adelson, was that he had given her the presidential medal of freedom when he was president of the united states. let's watch what, let's watch that moment we gave miriam the presidential medal of freedom. that's the highest award you can get as a civilian is the equivalent of the congressional medal of honor but civilian version, it's actually much better because everyone get the congressional medal of honor. that's soldiers they're either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets, or they're dead she gets it and cheese to healthy, beautiful woman and

the rate of equal so he says that the presidential medal of freedom is better than the medal of honor. yeah. and this comes at a time when you have both the trump and the harris campaign's sort of going at it over there. vice presidential picks in their service in terms of the military. look, i think this is yet another unforced error by trump ban the sort of media blitz is public speaking blitz. he's been giving right now and it doesn't do anything to help him. this is why his team wants him to focus more on policy, focus more on the economy. we saw him do that a little bit yesterday in bedminster, certainly on the economy certainly would those groceries lined up behind but these comments do not help him and i can already basically here the democratic ad makers, putting this in ads using this against trump, and it's going to be easy for someone like tim walz in the october 1 debate to go after j.d. vance on this into question on him on this

and j.d. vance is going to get questions on this as a veteran yeah julia, let's look ahead a little bit to what we're going to see today. >> we were anticipating an economic speech from kamala harris. she's come under some criticism for being relatively vague and her policy proposals. she has said that she wants to outlaw price gouging at the grocery store. the republicans are pushing back and saying those amount to communist policies. what do you expect to hear from her and how much pressure is there on her to be more specific about what she would do. there is a lot of pressure because we know that democrats in this election cycle have been a bit more weak on the economy. >> that being said, though, i do think there is some confidence in the democratic camp right now. first of all, we have seen that some polling to see just that americans are somewhat trustworthy of kamala harris on the economy. there's an ap-norc poll that came out earlier this week that showed 45% of americans say they trust kamala on the or excuse me, trump on the economy. 38% said the same thing about kamala harris, still a gap, but i think it's more narrow than a

lot of people expected. that number two, this is taking place in north carolina. north carolina is traditionally a red leaning state, has turned into more of a swing-state. i think the fact that she's speaking on the economy in a state like north carolina, shows that she's feeling confident that she's going to be able to use this or trying to use this issue to appeal to voters that maybe she historically has an appeal to, and maybe some red leaning or purple states. >> alright, rescore men, julia manchester. thank you guys both very much for being here on this friday, especially if you if you've got back at midnight from bedminster, it's great to have you here alright, coming up on cnn this morning, gaza ceasefire talks resuming soon in qatar, we're going to examine how the conflict could affect the outcome of the presidential race here in the u.s. plus gymnast jordan chiles speaking out for the first time since being stripped of her bronze medal. that's in bleacher report coming up next but jell-o he will your hair be

donald trump has no plan to help the middle-class just more tax cuts for billionaires being president is about who you fight for and she's fighting for people like you and kamala harris. >> and i approve this message done, messed around, having fine, don't put me down on that with allegro allergies won't hold me back lego starts working to times faster than clairton and unlike zyrtec or won't make me drowsy nothing beats allegro. >> it's the fastest non drowsy 24 hour allergy relief one a next level clean, swish with the whoa of listerine. >> it kills 99.9% of bad breath germs for five times more cleaning power than brushing and flossing alone, get a next level cliq dave's company just scored the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. high five!

actually israel is the one, and you should let them go and let them finish the job. >> israel has a right to go after the terrorists that are hamas but as i have said many, many times, they also have i believe, an important responsibili to avd civilian caslties the lestinian death ll frothe ten month olwar just crossed 40,000 people and rising, let's bring in joel rubin, former deputy assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs in the obama alma administration. >> joel, good morning. always wonderful to have you on the show so let's let's dig into these talks for a second, because i mean, this ceasefire, a more durable ceasefire. and of course, hostage release has been something that president biden has been working on now for months. i think he promised back in march that it was just days away. and then it never materialized. now, hamas is not at the negotiating table. where do these negotiations stand? and is there any reason to have hope that they might go somewhere? >> yeah. it's very elusive

negotiation as you say, a framework has been agreed to by all the parties, meaning that three steps of hostages in exchange for palestinian prisoners increasing relief and aid into gaza, as well as trying to get a long-term plan, but they're stuck on the details and the details are what matter is always matters in middle east diplomacy the execution of the deal to make sure it works while hamas is not there and you're right and they should be at the table there. their decision to not go is a lot us none. nonetheless, there was positive movement yesterday, so there are still hopes that despite that, that egypt, qatar, and other allies in the region can push hamas into agreeing to a deal and hostage exchange and get some relief to the palestinian people and some security for the israelis. but yeah, this has been elusive and it is, it is still in that elusive moment. >> where is benjamin netanyahu in all of this? because there were some reporting from the new york times this week that he possibly is basically

dragging his feet, trying to drag things out yeah. >> yeah. >> bibi netanyahu, he has options at this moment. >> israel has conducted serious and impactful strikes on leaders of hezbollah and hamas. it gives him political space at home to cut a deal, to say, i've taken out the leadership and i've made us safer. he's not grabbing that moment right now though. and so he's getting major criticism from hostage families, from israeli security leaders as well. and he is not committing and this is the other major problem, is that a netanyahu, he has a personal interest in maintaining a continuation of this fight as well, because if he pulls back and stops and they get a cease fire, it's quite possible his coalition will seek to collapse the government, but he does have more space available to him if he go goes that route and he could get a soft support from the opposition in the knesset two, so he has to cut a deal. the israeli people are demanding some kind of relief for them and to get the

hostages out. and that's the best way to get the hostages out. >> very interesting. so joan, let's talk a little bit about what we're going to see next week at the convention in chicago. because certainly when president biden was at the top of the ticket and the anticipation of pro-palestinian protests was a very significant one. we are expecting tens of thousands, maybe over 100,000 people to go to this to protest this convention with kamala harris at the top of the ticket. how is this dynamic changed? >> with her at the top of the ticket? >> does she have more credibility with those groups? and what do you expect to the convention? >> yeah, in kasie i think for kamala harris, she is seen as a figure who has deep empathy for the palestinian suffering right now, as well as the strong track record of support for israel. and so the tone is calmer. there's a recognition amongst those who are very concerned about what's happening in gaza, that she is an opportunity to engage that said, she's not going to take kindly and none of us are going to take kindly, including me as an american jew, i won't take kindly to there being pro-hamas language at these protests in the real concern is that rather

than a rally instead of protests, he tried to call for an end to the war that it's going to degenerate into that kind of name-calling, that kind of hostility. and that could put the vice president into an awkward position as well of having to push back against that. that should not be the goal of the process. the goal of the protests it should be about getting the line across that there needs to be a ceasefire and common region and not antagonism towards israel, but they do have now, in her team as well as her somebody who understands the suffering and understands the need for that to end. >> did you think she responded fast enough when there were hamas symbols painting? didn't statutes here in dc? >> yeah. >> i thought that was really impressive moment she came out very quickly the next day or in the morning of and said this is an unacceptable point and that is the that is the right narrative it's important for americans to protest when they feel that there is, when we feel that there's something to protest but to descend hate

speech or propaganda that is essentially anti-semitic, that has no place in these, in these arguments, these protests, and she condemned it right away while still maintaining the point that there needs to be a path forward for peace in the middle east all right. >> joel rubin for us this morning, joel, very grateful. thank you very much for being here all right. >> time now for sports olympic gymnast jordan chiles, releasing her first statement since the court of arbitration for sport gripped rupture of her bronze medal, andy scholes has this morning's bleacher report. andy. good morning. >> good morning. kasie yesterday we learned that usa gymnastics said they didn't even know about the pending appeal with the court of arbitration for sport for three days because cast sent the notice to the wrong email address, a usa gymnastics also said they never got any conflict of interest disclosures. so you just got to feel for jordan chiles and this whole situation. and she posted on social media yesterday, a lengthy statement about how she's feeling saying in part, i had confidence in the appeal brought by usag who gave conclusive evidence that my

score followed all the rules. >> i have no words. >> this decision feels unjust and comes as a significant blow, not just to me but to everyone who has championed in my journey. >> i believe that at the end of this journey, the people in control will do the right thing now, despite the u.s. saying they will continue to appeal the ruling, romania anya and the ioc will be holding a ceremony today to award ana barbosu the bronze medal for the floor routine, or to elsewhere notre dame announcing yesterday that they have suspended their men swimming programme for the entire academic season following an investigation that uncovered violations of in cwa is gambling rules according to an external review numerous violations of incivility rules were uncovered leading to the decision to suspend a program. notre dame has expressed regret for the team members who did not participate but says they reach the decision in order to it ensure this behavior in its baseball were filled. his rookie west and wilson had himself a night the 29-year-old had a triple a single and a
