sleep you wake refreshed for more productive day get 24 hour continuous relief that does not fade he wise old, take xyz off at night close captioning brought to you by mesobook.com if you or a loved one have mesothelial not we'll send you a free book to answer questions you may have called now and we'll come to you 808 to 14000 this is cnn breaking news breaking news into cnn. >> we've been watching vice president kamala harris wrapping up her first major policy speech in north carolina she's now working the rope line, shaking hands with folks as she laid out new details on her economic agenda she touted the biden administration's work, bringing the economy back from the covid, pandemic she said she wants to build what she's calling an opportunity economy with bringing down costs of living as her top priority is president. >> and that includes her proposal to ban federal price
12:01 pm
gouging on groceries, lowering the cost it's of insulin and prescription drugs and taking down barriers for home ownership. we have cnn's eva mckend in raleigh for us. eva was there for this speech how's it being received? eva? >> oh guess it's being received very well by this crowd. it is a smaller crowd than her typical campaign rally these are invited guests from the community, but the vice president basically outlined two very different visions for america. this was the first time that we've heard her give up concrete policy address. what it was also significant because you could see she was really intentional about trying to connect with every americans. she says she knows what it's like when the prices add up for clothes, for food for groceries, for every everyday living expenses, she talked about working at mcdonald's as a young person in college, and then seeing some of her coworkers at that time trying to make that sally
12:02 pm
where he worked while raising a family here are the actual concrete policies that she's laid out. a federal ban on price gouging for food. she's off. she pledged to bill 3 million new affordable homes, homes that she underscored would in fact go to the working class. and perhaps the loudest applause line pain when she talked about helping first-time homebuyers, $25,000 for first-time homebuyers, you saw a people get up on their feet and just applause odd loudly. that was something that is very well received. >> and no doubt, jess and boris, that is something that i repeatedly here on the campaign trail. >> so many people pull out worried about the ability to buy a house and the ability to afford rent and so this economic vision is really speaking to the needs of every every day americans republicans are characterizing it as just a wish list. they are in fact policies that would require
12:03 pm
working with congress and are very difficult to get older over the finish line. but at least now jess and boris, we have a vision, a concrete policy vision for what harris presidency would bring mckend live for us in raleigh. >> the question now becomes, how will voters absorbed this vision of the the economy? let's discuss with our panel and misha cross, matt gorman, jeff zeleny, and julia chatterley is with us as well. javan on the politics of this. there were two things that really struck out to me with this speech, and i think there were pretty obvious and deliberate on the issue of tariffs, which donald trump has sort of made his name sick think back to his first run for the white house. kamala harris, who are describing it as a trump tax on imports, essentially saying that donald trump wants to tax consumers. and the second thing she's spent this speech contrasting herself with donald trump. and i think that the most clear contrast was the fact that yesterday donald trump is giving a press conference
12:04 pm
outside of his private golf club. and then you have the vice president here talking about how excited she was to see her mom save up for ten years to buy a house. and then how she worked at mcdonald's to put herself through college and wants people around her struggled to make ends meet, work multiple jobs to do that. so it gives a sense of legitimacy to this populist argument that she's trying to make the contrast in every respect could not have been more clear in terms of the trump tariffs really broke it down. >> she said it's a trump attacks on gas. so trump tax on food. so what this is doing saying by having her finally give a policy speech, it's shining a broader light on his policies. and there are gaps and both of them, no doubt about it. one thing she did not say is how any of us would be paid for. of course, that is not uncommon in a presidential campaign. this is an aspirational level. he never says how he would pay for his plans either, but what i did think and this is the point of it obviously, is to draw a
12:05 pm
contrast obviously with him. but on the middle class and help explain herself, she's still is not introduced that well to the american people. she's been in the public eye. she has been vice president, but allowing her to sprinkle in her biography, i thought was so interesting. and we're going to hear more of that at the convention next week, the housing crisis. i hear it constantly as i travel around the country talking to voters, you may ask, why didn't the biden administration do more on this it's a good thing to ask. they've done some, but she's focusing on that with a specific $25,000 that would be certainly not paid for, but that is something that voters can get their minds around. so i think drawing a sharp contrast here is exactly what she wants to be doing. the deal he tells they don't quite all add up. but again, we don't know the makeup of congress and they don't add up for either side. i mean, it campaign is about sort of laying out your vision and she's starting to do that. >> yeah. it's about laying out these kind of lofty goals and then you got to see where congress lands and if you can actually get what parts of that
12:06 pm
you might be able to get done. >> let me show geoff makes such a great point, which is there was so much personalization woven into what is an economic policy speech. and in it struck me is when she would talk about, you know, what she's talking about, the feelings that she had when they moved in there first house and what it feels like to be in american right now, that's struggling. she's trying to make that connection with voters that she sees them, that she hears them. it's a tale as old as time in politics, but not everybody can do it exactly what you can't do it if you didn't leave it. so i think that the narrative she's able to build as one that comes from personal experience and honestly it's one that millions of families across america have in that same way where they've watched their parents, they've watched their grandparents caregivers have to say for years, some of them make it to where they're able to buy a home. many of them quite frankly, do not think that her having that conversation showcasing how she also had to work in college, working in low wage job setting up that dichotomy that many people still don't understand the majority of folks and low w home. these are not teenagers who are trying to save some extra credit cash. these are folks who are paying rent, who
12:07 pm
have to buy school supplies, who have to ensure that everything is taken care of at home utilities, and all of that off of the cost of which are going to earn flipping burgers. that is a very tough thing to do in this society. but i think that what she also did in outlining the policy platform, she did what's pay attention to what americans are seriously concerned about? we know housing is one of those. we know that being able to afford simple cost of living is one of those. we also know that it matters to have someone who has lived that was watched their family live at, have that conversation because at that point, it shows not only a heart, but it also shows that you understand what that means in everyday life, back-to-school was just minute around the corner for some people, it's already started. they already know what that cost is that we had to interrupt you before you were i don't want i wanted to hear your answer was so intelligent agreement but unfortunately, we had to cut away from but now that you've heard this speech, what stands out to you as the most clear and effective line of attack that were likely going to hear from republicans as a response to things i think number one, she had to the lot
12:08 pm
of far-left positions during her first run in 2019 and 2020, she has temporarily kind of moderated these through anonymous quotes from aid single. she doesn't really want to ban fracking more. doesn't do this, just wanted that this new program that she's pretty far left, $25,000 price control, essentially, that's number one, but the other thing is, you know conveniently forgot she was vice president for the last four years when a lot of housing market crisis at its worst, when inflation was at its worst. so there's a lot of memory holding that but look, when it comes to the 25 k, i mean, you just added $25,000 every price in every home price in the country. because if you're giving that away, essentially for free, people will add it into the price obviously price controls of commodity criticism from the washington post, catherine rampell, whom this channels talked to earlier. so you're going to see a lot of that in the messaging over the next couple of days, if not weeks, as we go into the convention julia chatterley is with us as well monitoring all of the economic pieces of these economic policies, how they would actually work. and julia,
12:09 pm
i think people are watching this an absorbing this. and wondering to themselves, okay, maybe that sounds interesting. would it actually work well, these things actually do what vice president harris wants them to do. >> i think this was a masterclass in sticking to the script, keeping things very voter friendly, keeping the details incredibly light, and not talking about how you have to pay for it. all. if if donald trump is sort of harry potter in terms of the magician for his policies, this was a bit hermione granger. it wasn't even just about not paying for it. she said she was going to reduce the deficit despite all these giveaways as well. and i understand that's politics at this moment, but i think your point is so accurate when she was talking about all of the things that impacting people, whether it's high prices and we know prices have soared over this administration on affordability crisis in housing mean house prices, the medium house prices up 20% over the past three years. so she did a great job. i think of changing the narrative, which
12:10 pm
is reflected so poorly on president biden things that she said in the price gouging comments. i just don't know how that federal ban is going to work if they're talking about directly targeting prices, it will require some form of act of congress isolating how and where price gouging is taking place is very different. she talked about the profits of grocery stores, their margins are incredibly thin for every dollar sale. they make profits of around one to $0.03. just try proving that the price gouging is going to be incredibly difficult beyond anything else on housing. she said at the end of her first term, she hopes to have those 3 million houses built but in order to do that, a lot of these homebuilders and they are saying that they'll provide incentives. they're going to have to borrow money and we know interest rates are really high. so a lot of that's going to depend on mortgage rates coming down which could end up fueling house prices even higher with people stop buying, but also homebuilders are going
12:11 pm
to want to be able to borrow at lower rates as well. and pick out a whole host of other things where the devil is going to be in the detail on it's all going to be about the execution, but i will say very quickly, i liked the way that she compared and contrasted with trump over what his impact will be. and i have to say it's inflationary and many of these cases that is something that we've heard from a variety of economists and i'm wondering, as julia's laying out, the fact that the details are incredibly light when it comes to these plans. there were allusions to cutting red tape, to lowering the deficit. not many details on exactly how they would do that with a cost of these proposals would be at some point when you're talking about a potential ban on price gouging, are offering this relief to first-time homebuyers you run into the reality of congress and what would actually pass even mentioned breaking down red tape at the state and local level to enhance a homebuilding to build up inventory torri, which of these proposals do you think
12:12 pm
actually will get to congress and then pass? >> well, some of this is going to be dependent on the makeup of congress. what we do know that kamala harris has done extremely well is be able to play across the board, hurt fundraising strategy, the shear historical fundraising. she's been able to do an eight categorically very short amount of time it's not only for her at the top of the ticket, it's also for those down-ballot races the makeup of congress is going to really make a difference here. but i would also argue that she is utilizing things that in some ways we saw from build back better and expanding them. so congress and what it looks like, it's going to again, though this other republicans tell them that the american people are demanding these things. they want affordable housing they want to be able to pay rent. they want to be able to ensure that they can buy their kid school supplies and be able to feed them at the same time, these are things that matter no matter what political or partisan stripe you happen to be a part of what she's doing is laying this out to the american people. american people honestly don't care how the sausage is made. they want to be able to take care of their families matt, i want to end the way we began, which is to finally get your answer on what i was asking you like an hour ago. but just
12:13 pm
reminding everyone the fact that we are seeing republican the republican ticket in the democratic ticket in some cases, not in all. obviously this is very different. there are a lot of contrast, but on some of these issues, like expanding the child tax credit like getting rid of taxes on tips we're seeing trump and harris align on some of those. why do you think that is the they've seen the numbers and the polling that the more populism is more popular and one of the more popular things both parties and i think one of the most likely things you're going to see continue no matter who is president is one of the things she attacked the policy towards china. it might be differences on tariffs here and there, but in large part over the last 878 years, go into the next administration. china policy has been relatively unanimous among both parties with some things here are there that is likely to continue no matter who is president? >> all right. our thanks to all of you for being here and a julia who is with us from new york. we appreciate it, so ahead this hour on cnn news central, the secret service beefs up, beefs up security around former president donald trump. the visible measures

12:19 pm
is giving us a first glimpse of what the main stage is going to look like. the city also bracing for mass protests that could upend the party show of unity a barricades and fencing are being set up around the arena where vice president harris and others high profile democrats are set to speak. soon as whitney wild is live outside the united center in chicago, whitney, what are you seeing in terms of preps right now we're seeing more and more fencing. >> this is one of the key tools that law enforcement is going to look to as they were expecting, tens of thousands of people to descend on the united center and mccormick place those two hosts locations for the democratic national convention. it takes several days to get this fence up as you see there, some folks here trying to get it up and running here at the united center has been shut down for a month. that is how long it takes to get all of these different layers of security up and running. but again, what you'll see the most visible signs are going to be these blocks and blocks of fences surrounding these two hosts locations this is what a securing the hardened
12:20 pm
perimeter. this is the inner perimeter where you cannot get in unless you have a credential for the democratic national convention. but then there's the soft perimeter around the outside and that's where pedestrians can come. it's really just closed off to vehicle traffic, but regular people can come and take part take part in the dnc. even if they don't have a credential in that exterior zone. this is a massive undertaking and it comes at a really fraught time. this is just a month after the attempted assassination of former president donald trump on intelligence bulletin about the dnc obtained by cnn said that law enforcement is on high alert for retaliatory attacks against democrats as a result of that attempted assassination. in addition, law enforcement is always hyper concerned about a range of threats, mass casualty incident alone, wolf attack. so they're really trying to balance all of these different security scenarios while also making sure that people can have a calm and secure experience. vance protesters, regular
12:21 pm
civilians. here's what the secret service told us about putting a security event like this together at such a highly tense and fraught time i think the, world is very dangerous place nowadays. i can tell you for the dnc specifically, the whole of government approach. we've been planning for the dnc since last april. the secret service, along with the fbi and fema have been developing a plan for over a year and the whole of government approach, we also rely heavily on our local partners and that chicago pd secret service could not ask for a better partner in this in chicago pd law enforcement is going to have support in the air. >> there's going to be, you know helicopters up, military planes up. they're also going to have support from the water. so this is really a multi-faceted approach. again, in addition to all the law enforcement that's going to be boots on the ground here there are more than 400, 500 mutual aid officers expected to come down to the dnc. and those are
12:22 pm
officers that would be coming from beyond the chicago area in addition to the thousands of congo police officers were going to be boots on the ground here, guys it is a massive effort, whitney wild from chicago. thank you so much. >> meantime, the secret service says it's stepping up security for donald trump including using bulletproof glass to surround him at rallies those changes are coming after trump was nearly assassinated at that outdoor rally last month in butler, pennsylvania of course, the agency was heavily criticized for failing to protect him joining us now to discuss is cnn chief law enforcement intelligence analyst john miller and john the fbi has said the individual who shot donald trump in pennsylvania appeared to be acting alone and if that's the case, if this was an isolated incident, what can we draw them from this increase in? charity? >> well, it makes sense. jessica. first of all, you've got the iranian threat, which had existed before the pennsylvania shooting. but since then, an individual has been charged with trying to
12:23 pm
recruit assassin's on us soil allegedly for the government of iran with donald trump as one of the targets so that threat doesn't go away if anything, it's now heightened because of the increasing tensions in the middle east. then of course you have the theory that if that individual who shot at trump and hit him in pennsylvania was alone, wolf we know from the school shootings, we know from these other mass shootings that one of those crimes usually inspires or inspire is an existing planner to accelerate their plans and join the momentum some of the studies they've done into these offenders show that when they see the notoriety the person before them gets that they want that notoriety for themselves, which is one of the very reasons we've talked about him as the shooter, as opposed to repeating his name and adding to that fame. so all of these factors play into it. >> absolutely. all right. john miller. thank you so much. we

12:29 pm
convention monday, he at seven on cnn and streaming on max a comment from one israeli official is now sparking fear about the israel hamas war spreading to more countries israel's foreign minister says he expects allies like britain and france to counter attack iran. if iran attacks israel, this was at a meeting setup to discuss preventing regional escalation iran supreme leader has already promised, quote, severe revenge on israel after some top hamas officials were killed, including one inside tehran. let's go now to cnn's fred pleitgen, who is live in tehran with the latest fred hi there, jessica. first of all, you're absolutely right. those remarks by the israeli foreign minister essentially saying that he expects the united kingdom and france to attack iran. if iran retaliates after
12:30 pm
the assassination of hamas leader ismail haniyeh. here in iran. of course, on july 31st, i've been asking some sources on the ground here you're in iran about that, essentially all of them were laughing those comments off. a by the israeli foreign minister, the iranians are saying that it's going to be up to them whether or not they retaliate, they certainly do say that they're not going to allow comments like that to do real any sort of retaliation if that were to happen. but i think one of the things that's been so interesting to see throughout the course of the day is that those ceasefire talks talks that have been going on in qatar while iran is not at the table there and is not involved in those talks, you're ron obviously looms very large at those talks. you can see that by the fact that qatar's prime minister called the foreign minister of iran on both days, just to keep them up-to-date as to what exactly was going on in so ceasefire talks that many of the parties who are part of those talks, they hope that they can prevent iranian retaliation if indeed there were to be significant progress or possibly even a ceasefire agreement. and of
12:31 pm
course, also prisoner and hostage release as well. the iranians have said that to them, the two things are not linked they say that that retaliation could still happen and it could still happen at any time at the same time, of course, the iranians also watching very closely what goes on at those talks. one of the things that the iranian government has said is that they also don't want to escalate the situation to obviously some sort of wider conflict that could involve not just iran and israel, but of course the u.s. it as well, guys. >> all right. pled fred pleitgen again from inside iran in tehran tonight. thank you so much for that reporting. ukraine is pushing ahead with its military offensive into russia with aides to president volodymyr zelenskyy saying the cross-border incursion is designed to push vladimir putin into what they call a ferret negotiating process zelensky confirmed to cnn that ukrainian forces captured the russian town of sioux j in the kursk region. >> cnn chief international security correspondent nick paton walsh, gains some of the first access to that region.
12:32 pm
cnn was accompanied by the ukrainian military who reviewed the video without sound prior to release for operational security reasons, we should point out the ukrainian government had no editorial control over the report. nic shows us the intensity of the fight all around us, the signs of the intense fire that's been raging, sign harris very surreal to be inside russia. again ukrainian forces well, not even the statue of lenin is unscathed hear this ukrainian assault. so persistence and russia, despite sense of history, it's sort of passed as being some impregnable, completely unable to push the ukrainians out here. the sound of small arms fire, we can still hear so clearly there is a bid for the russians to push back, but simply isn't working. and the humiliation for putin and jurors let's see the damage has been done to the street here from the intense
12:33 pm
fight. there race still clearly active fighting and there's still the question is, where are the drones wherever the russian drones that have made ukraine's life hell on the front lines for months, simply nowhere to be seen well there's constant artillery as well. clearly a fight still underway for this should become deeply symbolic for ukraine's totally surprise assault into russia alright, our thanks again to cnn's nick paton walsh for that wonderful reporting there. let's take you now to venezuela or some of its citizens, say they're being targeted by the regime of embattled president nicholas maduro. >> yeah, a black letter x historic appearing on the doors of residents who say they oppose the outcome of july's presidential election, which maputo claims he won, even though independent observers say he likely lost by a wide margin let's go to cnn, steffano pozzebon, who is live for us in the region with more
12:34 pm
as to how many of those that have been singled out believed that this was a direct threat. >> well boris we're talking about dozens of people in an era of kuraka said that is particularly close to the government that's the era of caracas where maduro was mentor and the late president hugo chavez is buried in what is called in venezuela. they cartel dillon montana, that's good 34 to overlook in the presidential palace and that area is so connected with the government that paramilitary squads are aligned with maduro and the right i still for the current government, even as whaler are employing these tactics, that of course boris are scaring a lot of people in venezuela in the rest of the country these are tactics of intimidation that are meant to be stemming the protests. but i also think boris, these tactics strip away any political legitimacy the maduro regime for the last few weeks, maduro has claimed that he's a victim
12:35 pm
of a neofascist, could utter that nobody should meddle with venezuelans on business yeah curious, for example, jeff bezos of being personally involved in a conspiracy just because the website that the opposition bronzer and is hosted on an amazon web services server and using these taxes which are frankly straight out of the third reich and of hitlerian germany, show how the government is completely scared and he's just employing more and more repressive strategies and tactics to keep the situation under control without any sort of political legitimacy. there is nothing neofascist going on in venezuela other than the current government's strategy in the meantime the diplomatic circles boris are working very fast to try to find a mediator the solution, any solution frankly, to these precipitating crisis. and many including brazil, colombia, and mexico have ventilated their proposal
12:36 pm
of a new round of election, a second round between the opposition candidate edmundo gonzalez and maduro to sort of clear the air and make sure that the real winner prevails. but this is what the opposition think about that option so the next youngest, what if maduro doesn't like the second election? >> we do a third one, a fourth, a fifth until maduro likes the results. would you accept this in your countries? if the results aren't satisfactory than an election is repeated, we competed in the election under the tyrannies rules many people told us we were crazy, that we were taking a risk and that there would be a monumental fraud that we would not prove we trust in the organization of citizens we should know it's boris and jess that maduro has also rejected that option. >> neither the government nor for the opposition are ready to entertain even the idea of repeating the election. but both claim to be the legitimate
12:37 pm
winner. the opposition we should say, has presented tens of thousands of voting tallies on their website. the government hasn't done any the situation is probably an this crisis is probably likely to continue boris, because tomorrow machado, the opposition leader, has called for new protests in caracas, and the rest of the country. >> boris just steffano pozzebon live for us from bogota. thank you so much. next, north carolina hasn't gone blue in a presidential election since barak obama beat john mccain 16 years ago. but there's a reason that vice president kamala harris chose to make her first major policy speech there today is signs giving democrats hope this election cycle. when we return ryan and mikah are taking onto hotel. >> what if i took on one of the hotels and you did the other two teams, we are going to be bryant 100 days and the best hotel when 100 day hotel challenged special series

12:43 pm
it's no accident that harris chose north carolina for this speech. >> both candidates are targeting the tar heel state including donald trump earlier this week with another speech on the economy. although it's been reliably red for republicans going back 44 years, there is one exception, barak obama won there in 2000 hey the question now is can kamala harris do that again joining us now is the head of the state's democratic party, anderson clayton anderson. thank you so much for being with us. obviously, both harris and trump, both visiting north carolina this week what do you think that says about the state's role in this election? >> i think it shows that donald trump is scared and i think it shows that north carolina is in play for the democratic party more than it's ever been slowly, but surely since 2016, we've been bringing the margins down at the presidential level for how democrats have lost our state 74,000 votes is the margin that we came within in 2020. and
12:44 pm
we're building lee expecting to break that margin this year and bring that back for us. in july, there was a poll done and it showed that 74% of registered voters in north carolina rated the economy in the biden administration as fair or poor how important is it you think for vice president harris to distance herself from president biden on economic policy. >> and what did you think of the speech today? >> i think that she gave a good speech today about focusing the priorities of this administration and the future forward for the next four years of this administration, really focusing on working families and bringing down the cost like we've seen in grocery stores, but also just everyday costs for working families. and also i love that she talked about creating a product so union economy, especially in a state like north carolina, where we've got to republican state legislature that has right to work laws still on the books at that state level. and so it's been a really hard thing for folks to talk about unionizing
12:45 pm
in a workplace right now in north carolina. but i also think that president biden has a great economic record to run on, quite frankly the especially in a place like north carolina where 59% of our state's still lives in a rural or urban community right now. this is the first federal administration that invested in communities and cities and counties across our state that gave every community money for the first time, to bring us back from that post pandemic economy on to say that was under donald trump that we're still coming back from to this day and age of the dozen plus proposals that she's put out today including that ban on price gouging these subsidies for first-time homebuyers i'm curious about which ones of those you think might actually become law because you have even some democratic economist saying that these sound great on paper, but they could make things much more complicated for consumers. and there is some doubt about whether they can get through congress well,
12:46 pm
i mean, i think that's what we also have to work towards. right. you know, congressional district one this year in north carolina is gonna be really important to help get don davis over the line and making sure that we have a democratic majority in the united states house to ensure that these policies can become reality versus what we're seeing from donald trump right now, which is trying to raise tariffs sen. raise prices, raise inflation more right? on consumer goods in the united states right now. i mean, we're seeing an economy presidential economy that's trying to bring back and that has brought back manufacturing jobs in north carolina over 6,000 that have come back to places like hickory, north carolina in the western part of the state that used to be known right? remanufacture shrink furniture and the number one capitol in the country for that, we're now one of the number one producers for fiber in the country. and so recreating rural economies is something that you're going to see over the next four years as well from the investments that this federal administration has made. one thing that i credit this administration for is that they have not just been prioritizing 20 hey, 24 is an election
12:47 pm
cycle. they've been prioritizing the next 50 years in places where they've not had a future set for them. and that's really amazing to see. i think the fact that we are recreating, we're having a rural renaissance right now, and we should be talking more about that. i think anderson, i know you spoke with my colleague, erin burnett recently about how you see the dynamic in the race changing an attracting younger voters. there's a lot more enthusiasm. it's reflected in polling for vice president harris than there was before when, when president biden was still in the race, which of these economic policies do you think? thank resonate with those younger voters, especially many of whom see an economy that is challenging for them to say the least especially young people right now housing, i love the fact that she talks about taking on landlords right now, taking on corruption when it comes to rent prices, i think especially for young people that are experiencing i'm saying that at this level, you know, we want to see that aspect taken on in the state legislature right now in north
12:48 pm
carolina for an example, there is a ban on rent cap in any city, so you've got the state legislature fighting with local municipalities on being able to do that. >> we do need federal legislation that helps alleviate that burden for state legislatures, but also for local cities to be able to do what they need to do right now in their own communities, it's about giving autonomy back to the places that need it, that are being overrun. quite frankly by folks that are making legislation that's actually not living in the communities that they're in right now that are struggling with these policies. but i also think that you're going to see exciting mean from folks, you know, i'm from person county right now. we've got someone serving in local government who works at mcdonald's and i loved when the vice president today talked about in her speech how she came up there, working class background, she worked her way through college, right. and we do still have people she worked with folks that we're working those service level jobs that had families at home right now when the city that i'm from one of our city council women, shaina outlaw works at mcdonald's right now. she does not make $15 minimum wage yet, but she's also a mom and she's got four kids at
12:49 pm
home that she provides for. and i think that she's speaking to a population right now that donald trump, and quite frankly, maga republicans don't believe exists in this country at this moment in time. >> anderson clayton, we have to leave the conversation there. we appreciate your sharing your perspective with us. >> thank you still ahead, officials announcing charges against the alleged mastermind of a scheme to steal graceland from elvis presley's heirs. it would see cnn new central i was scared when i was told to age-related macular degeneration could jeopardize my vision. >> it was hard, but taking presser vision was easy preserve vision has the exactly clinically proven a return to formula recommended by the ndi. i'm taking control like millions of fisher investments. >> we may look like other many managers, but we're different. you can't be that different. >> we are, we have a team of specialists not only in investing, but also in financial and estate planning and more your clients rely on you for all that? yes. and as a fiduciary, we always put their interests first, but you still

12:53 pm
sleep i deserve i'm natasha bertrand at the pentagon and this is cnn now an update on that bizarre story involving graceland, former home of elvis presley in memphis, tennessee. yeah, this was a weird one. i recall there was this mysterious investment company that tried to sell the property through a bogus foreclosure scheme earlier this year, a woman in missouri has just been arrested as the alleged mastermind of that failed plot. cnn's paula reid joins us now with more paula, take us through the details here. >> this story is absolutely
12:54 pm
wild. i've been hovering legal affairs bomb was 15 years. i've never seen anything like this now, as you know, elvis's daughter, lisa marie presley, died a little over a year ago. and after she died, the woman who has been charged now janine finley, she claimed that lisa marie had taken out a roughly $4,000,000 loan from finley and that she had pledged graceland as collateral. so after lisa marie died, suddenly, it goes after the presley family trying to get a roughly $3 million settlement for this alleged loan now, in furtherance of the scheme scheme, she allegedly created false documents. she forged lisa marie's signature that of a notary. she even pretended at various times to be at least three different people associated with this lender know when she didn't get the money she wanted from the presley family. she published a foreclosure notice in a memphis newspaper saying that graceland would be sold it to the highest bidder, the presley family had filed a lawsuit. the courts intervened at this point. but even when that became a story back then, it wasn't clear who was behind
12:55 pm
this. there have been some reports about a woman with a different name hold julian finley. she has multiple pseudonyms, but she had also tried to divert attention to potential nigerian scammers, but now the justice department has investigated and charged her with mail fraud, and aggravated did identity that she faces a minimum of two years in prison and up to a maximum of 20 years in prison. but i want to note something that was said today by the justice department that really speaks to a larger issue here. they said, quote fame and money are magnets for criminals who looked at camp capitalize on another person celebrity status. in this case, ms finley allegedly took advantage of the very public and tragic occurrences in the presley family as an opportunity to pray on the name and financial status of the heirs to graceland's estate now, attempting to steal what is rightfully belongs to the presley family for her personal gain. and it speaks to what we've talked about a few times this week, matthew you, perry, and others. you have a lot of money, you have a lot of fame and sometimes that attracts the attention of criminal. i don't
12:56 pm

12:57 pm
>> well, first, bryan, you don't have to do them all. you could just replace your worst windows first or another way to make them affordable is to change the style of window for example, you could do gliding window instead of a casement. we have a lot of ways to make window projects really affordable compared to other window companies. you have a completely different business model. >> yeah, with other companies, there's just too many people involved in the process. there's the manufacturer or the seller, and then the installer, and then the customer. and if you call with a problem that's when they say, oh, we're the manufacturer, you have to call the installer for that problem or vice versa. we're the full service replacement window division of anderson with us. there's no passing the buck at renewal by anderson, we sell build, install, and warrant our windows and patio doors. so if there's ever an issue, we take full responsibility for it. >> why don't you sell vinyl windows? >> it doesn't matter if it's a $200 window or $1,200 window. >> a lot of vinyl windows just don't last for energy
