got pregnant with his child. but after she got pregnant, hunter pulled away and denied paternity so she went to court in 2019. kate, let me read for you a quote from the book where roberts explained why she sued hunter biden while his father was ramping up his campaign, quote i don't want this to be a scandal. i never did. i'm rooting for joe in the next election and i'm not part of a conspiracy trying to bring down the biden family. it would just be nice if hunter would tell the truth and give my daughter the father she deserves. so first of all, her support for joe biden might come as a surprise because she's from a deep red county in arkansas when she hired to diehard trump supporters as her attorneys. but more importantly, kate, she revealed that after they settled that child support case last year, hunter ended his five-year estrangement with his daughter and now they actually have weekly zoom calls and she says they have a very close bond marshall. >> thank you so much for bringing us that reporting and new hour of cnn, new central starts now top. the hour, 8:00

am eastern 17 i'm central. >> i'm sara sidner with john berman in chicago. kate bolduan in new york for us this morning today, a lot of anticipation because former president barak obama, first lady michelle obama we'll take the stage here at the democratic national convention. there it is. but first everyone might need to take a little bit of a nap today because boy, day one lasted way late into the wee hours of the morning. president biden took the stage literally just hours ago, just before midnight multiple times though, we saw tears it's filling his eyes as he reflected on his legacy. and then looked ahead towards the future he is now fighting for america to have i it's been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your

president i love the job but i love my country more selected comma was the very first decision i made before i became when i became our nominee and it was the best decision i made my whole career she'll be at present. we can all be proud of and she will be historic president who put her stamp on america's future america america i gave my best to you for 50 years. like many of you i'll give my heart and soul to our nation and i've been blessed 1 million times to return. but i hope you know how grateful i am to all of you all right. >> one of the biggest moments today will not be here. but north of here in milwaukee, vice president harris holds a rally there. cnn senior reporter, isaac dovere is with

us now. isaac, i don't think anyone is better sourced than you are inside the harris campaign. what are they feeling about how things went last night and how things look heading into today look, john, we're all a little sleep after last night, but the harris campaign very happy with how this has been going. the feeling of unity that's becoming across. and of course it's going to continue into tonight, the obamas taking the stage, baraka michelle obama, we don't see a lot of michelle obama the last speech she gave was so the convention four years ago obviously her taken the stage and barack obama, another passing of the torch, but also connecting to what that energy was in 2008 and 2012 that harris is trying to replicate. but that's not all that we're going to started to see over the next few days. i've got new reporting this morning about republicans are going to start addressing the democratic convention, including geoff duncan, the former lieutenant governor of georgia, and john gales, the mayor of mesa, arizona those two states, obviously very important looking for republicans there to help put harris over the line in these

battlegrounds as she tries to get a path to 70 together, they are all trying to say that this is a mess, a mission that is bigger than the democratic party about stopping donald trump and about they say turning the page to what kamala harris as president would do all right. >> isaac dovere for us, isaac great to see you. thank you very much. all right. turning now, former new york city mayor and former democratic presidential candidate bill to blasio. you just heard from isaac there. i don't know if i missed it, but at the republican national convention, i don't think we saw a bunch of democrats who had it had changed over how big of a deal is this? because obviously, you want to be able to get as many voters independents republicans that don't like trump. how much do you think this is going to make a mark? >> this is where elections are won. sara can you bring over some independents? can you bring over some republicans? and we see it happening now? and i think we need to recognize something unprecedented. obviously, we've never seen a president united states leave office be replaced

as quickly this kind of enthusiasm, the shift in the polls. but what's also happening is more and more of those moderates and independents, particularly women, are surging over to harris and walz and last night i thought was beautifully constructed to help draw them in particularly the part about reproductive freedom that was moving. it was touching and i think for a lot of women in america, even if they identify as independents, republicans seeing that, that becomes very personal, and that's part of why they choose kamala harris so first of all, it's nice to see you. >> i'm glad you made it through the ordeal. the traveler america was on the edge of their seat waiting to see how when if you would make it. to chicago, the thunderstorms one, i lost everyone on social media frame minute by minute account of the mayor's trip here to chicago we saw a lot last night and by a lot, i mean, like hours and hours of programming, i think as far as many democrats are concerned, maybe an hour too much programming what do you think?

>> what was accomplished and still has to be accomplished here because there's three nights left. yes. >> well, first of all clear message of unity, but it wasn't just words. you could see it, you could feel it look, i'm a democrat, but this is a party that has often been a little unruly and not always unified tonight or excuse me, last night, we saw perfect unity. we saw an energy that says to america, this party has its act together and that we really believe in our leaders. that's powerful, that's palpable. i think what has to happen now is to continue to welcome in the voters who are not yet sure. of course, we got to energize our base, but i feel really good about where that's going honestly. but there's still a lot of voters out there who don't know kamala harris and tim walz yet here is an opportunity to continue to deepen this introduction. now, it's the first few weeks are indication, it's been brilliant. but i think that's the point. there's a lot of folks still sitting on the bench. there's a lot of hope, still not sure if they're going

to vote here's the next few days a chance to get a message across. it to folks. we actually can move forward as a country, we can do something different that's what folks want vast majority americans are really uncomfortable right now. after covid with inflation, all the challenges they need a little bit sense of things can change. that's the mission for comment. harris and tim walz, i think they can do it. >> a lot of folks that biden included hillary of horse but some of the new democrats like jasmine crockett, yes, they went hard on donald trump and i do remember a time when it was when they go low, we go high. that has changed. why that's over. >> because i think people got sick of it, honest asli i think at a certain point, watching the extremism of trump of the fact that he would literally call for political violence and would divide our country. i think at a certain point, even though there's a beautiful notion of go high, stay high, it wasn't working i mean, let's face it last night when folks started chanting, lock him up someone who used to work

for hillary clinton has great respect for her. i'm glad she simply had a small smile on her face and letting you for a moment, marc. yeah. and i think she deserved that moment. i really do because it was outrageous how she was treated i think kamala harris very brilliantly says when people do that, hey, we have a justice system. we need to respect it a very different tact. yes, it takes a very different tact, but i think hillary clinton express something she deserved to be able to express and all the folks in this arena felt that to that there had been a real miscarriage of the democratic process in the way trump talked about her and talked about our democracy. and i think this is almost like people letting off steam and deciding you know what we're not going to take this anymore. and the emperor has no clothes that's what's happening to trump right now. >> is that done though? is this part of the convention in your mind done? did they get there licks in? on donald trump in now time to move to the future. i mean, i get when biden was running against him, he really wanted the campaign to be largely about trump, trump, trump, trump will last for

weeks in three days now count i'm trying to three days of this campaign. harris has seemed to want to point it towards the future. so would you in the next three days talk less about dress? >> i were great respect for joe biden. he was given the love he deserved last night, but his campaign had devolve too much into justice. a negative depiction of trump and not enough about where are we going, where you're going to take us? i think calm harris very, very smartly started changed that almost immediately. and when she put out the economic plan the other day okay. in the folks about price gouging, which everyone's feeling talking aggressively about lowering health care costs. this is what people want to hear about. they want to believe something can change i think she's been smart to reduce the focus on trump, increase the focus on the future, and introduce herself as someone who can do something about it because in the end, that's what every voter is thinking. can this person do something for me and my family? they don't want to hear you just attack the opponent build a blasio. >> i am so glad that you finally won over the weather because otherwise we would be talking to the wall right.

>> you're taking taking the trial train travel is called for at this point, i learned a valuable lesson an ad for amtrak, right? excellent. thank you so much. appreciate it. all right. so as prominent republicans are several battleground states take the stage at the democratic national convention, to endorse vice president harris donald trump will be in michigan as part of a swing-state tour. cnn's alayna treene has the latest on that later well, john donald trump, welby, and how all michigan today, it is a suburb of detroit. >> and look, this is just one of many speeches he's giving this week to try and steal some of the spotlight away from harris, although i can tell you from my conversations with donald trump, senior advisers, they recognize that it's going to be hard to do. that's part of why you're seeing them actually hold these events at 3pm like that one today will be rather than in primetime when normal when donald trump normally holds these large style rallies to really soak up the media oxygen they recognize that some of the most high

profile el, speakers at the convention this week are going to be talking then. and so they're going earlier in the day, but luck his speech today is going to be focused on crime and safety. we saw yesterday, donald trump was in york, pennsylvania. another battleground talking about the economy later this week, he'll be at the border in arizona focusing on immigration. all of these are the top three issues we know the campaign has been urging donald trump to talk about these are the issues that they think he can win on in november. that's part of why they're also holding these events at smaller venues with smaller crowds really trying to keep donald trump on message. now i do want to just talk about michigan specifically, given that he's going there today, this is a state data today's first visit to this state since harris kind of shook up the race and up ended a lot of the trump campaign's plans. and remember a month ago actually chris lacivita, one of donald trump's co-campaign managers, had told reporters in the state that they believe michigan is the easiest state to really turn red november out

of the blue collar midwest states that they are looking at. but of course, that has changed now with harris at the top of the ticket polls have shown that the race is tightening, that it's going to be far more competitive this fall. and donald trump, for his part, has also struggled to kind of let that go and let joe biden go and he kinda touched on that during an interview with cbs, take a listen to what he said very, very bad thing. they took a man who won and they said, get out of here, joe this is a coup. and if you don't get out the nice way, we're gonna get you out the bad way get out of here, joe. >> there was a terrible thing they did and then they put them on monday night. you know what? that's called? that's called like the worst night now, john, this is something donald trump has said before that it's been a coup against joe biden to get him out of there. >> but part of this is donald trump has said publicly that he believes harris may be easier to beat privately, he complains

about joe biden not being his opponent and often now our kaitlan collins actually asked biden about this yesterday and he said that trump's stability is in question. so that's how joe biden is handling that. >> john you know, i was really curious to see what trump will come up with when he was asking, you know, what they call monday night. i mean, he had me on the edge of my seat waiting there. and then apparently he said it's the worst night, digging deep. all right. alayna treene. thank you very much for that. kate monday night is the night before tuesday morning. >> donald trump pushes his own plan to fight inflation why some economists are warning they believe if proposals would actually make things worse and analysis on that. >> and hurricane ernesto was hundreds of miles away, but the storm whipped up current so strong it for our north carolina home right off its foundation comedy is coming to

we're the screams to follow hundreds that our police officers tonton and a tapped, he instigated an insurrection a violent assault on our nation's capital and the peaceful transfer of power all driven by the big lie former u.s capitol police officer, harry dunn defended lawmakers during the january 6 insurrection and later testified before congress about that attack on capitol hill. he is with us here now, harry, thank you so much for being here. i know you were in the room where it happened last night. what was your takeaway when you hear people talking one after the other about that day. and then conversely, you've heard what donald trump has said recently to nabj. he said of the 140 officers that were attacked well, i might pardon them if they're innocent, all of them have been

convicted. what was your takeaway from last night? >> it was a mixture of emotions because it's supposed to be a joyous time, like you said, it was a celebration honoring joe biden for his lifelong service to this country. but then every speaker referenced january 6. yeah. so we're kind of like took you back to that moment, so you're having a moment of jubilation and then you sit back in you're like, man, this is january 6 it shouldn't be a badge of honor. donald trump wears it as a badge of honor every or any other person would run away from that and want to be as far away from that as possible, but not donald trump. donald trump, like you just said, he wants to pardon the people responsible if they're innocent. he said that they did nothing wrong. of the people that were not only were they convicted, they pled guilty. so it's as long as donald trump is out there pushing those lies about january 6, then i'll be out here pushing back against him and letting people know what happened that day, wasn't peaceful. it wasn't patriotic, it wasn't american it was one of the darkest days this

country has ever seen how much of the campaign. >> now that it is, vice president harris is the nominee. do you think should be about what some democrats and vice president, sorry, president biden called the threat to democracy so how much would you like to see voters reminded of that and january 6 and how much would you like to see the focus on something else, the future. yeah. >> well, january 6, like i said, it was a moment in time, but let's be clear, donald trump, he's already said during the debate, he said that we'll have to see if he accept the results of the election. so he's already alluding to a possibility of him doing it again. the purpose of accountability accountability is two things to make sure it serve as a deterrent, to make sure something doesn't happen again. and it also provide some type of reassurance to the people who were affected by it. those things have not happened yet in fact, the supreme court has went out and said that those things are probably likely won't happen. so donald trump is kind of given ultimately a free pass about

what happened that day. so it's very dangerous and we talk about january 6 as a snapshot in time but let's be clear at that the moment that the threat that he wants to do it again, and he wants to rule like that. if you don't agree with me, that we're coming after you, it's very dangerous so yes. january 6 was a moment in time, but that's a prelude to how he will run this country i'm curious. >> i know you ran for office and it's a hard thing to do measure right we saw some young democrats from the aoc's to the jasmine crockett's. what did you think of the next-generation? did you see a real shift here going from joe biden tearfully sort of saying, i gave it my best to crockett come in hard for the opponent when people just love energy. >> i mean, like there were so many people in this country. i saw somebody said, i would've crawl over broken glass to vote for joe biden, but that doesn't mean i'm excited to vote for kamala harris the point is to stop donald trump and the energy that the vice

president, vice president harris has brought into this, this campaign. >> it's through the roof, it's palpable, like in here last night, it was just so much energy and happiness and excitement. >> so i think people are excited. >> i am curious because you're talking about the way donald trump talks. and one of the things that he, and some republicans seem obsessed with is how vice president harris became the democratic nominee. they, they call it a coup. >> this weird. >> why do you think of using that language? do you think it's possible they're using that language as a predicate if trump loses the election again to say, hey, this was some kind of rig thing as much as people say to donald trump is in a smart man, he's tyla calculated. so he does stuff in advance to sit, plant those seeds to make his most staunch supporters believe everything that he says. the ticket was joe biden and kamala harris. so it's just silly to hear that that talk attempted coup. was what he, him and his coworkers his colleagues in congress tried to do on january 6, you

said late sort of laying the groundwork in your mind? yeah. yeah. all right. harry dunn. thank you. sorry to see you get some sleep if you can got up early for us and we appreciate shows a good to see you it yet. so donald trump is promising a quote, total pro american overhaul of our tax regulation and trade system as part of his economic plan. while some worry could actually make matters worse new analysis on that. and disney backtracks on a wrongful death lawsuit, the company had claimed it was disney plus agreement prevented him from the lawsuit. what the company is saying now 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 no news organization. this year this is cnn work play link relief work play, blanking,

items if he is elected this year, what he's laying, what he's laying out to do that and why it has some economists skeptical. >> cnn's matt egan has a new analysis of this is tracking this for us. he's joining us now, matt, what are you finding here? >> well, good morning, kate. listen some of former president trump's inflation promises they're not just unrealistic, they're probably undesirable. it would be one thing to promise to lower the rate of inflation that would mean prices are still going up, just added more gradual case that is actually happening right now. but trump at times has gone much further and he's promising outright price drops. take a listen to what he said during a speech last week in north carolina but prices will come down. you just watch you come down or they'll come down fast. not only with insurance, with everything, he has president, i will seal the border. i will send them all back to their countries where they belong. prices will come down and come down dramatically and come down fast now,

dramatically lower prices that obviously sounds great. >> i mean, who doesn't miss pre-covid prices at the grocery store or for car insurance and it is possible to have price drops in certain services and goods for example, we've actually seen price drops recently for appliances, for used cars and men's suits, but widespread price declines that's deif relation, that's not just in improbable. >> it's actually kind of scary university of michigan economist justin wolfers, he told me the best way to get deflation would be a recession and he said this is extremely dangerous and feeds on itself. the fed would be terrified. it's very hard to get out of a deflationary spiral. now, deflation freeze out the fed because it can really stall the economy and it's tracks. i mean, think about it. if you knew, you could buy something cheaper. next month, then you would never buy it right now.

and if that spreads throughout the economy, that would cause prices to go even further, which would delay people from buying things. it can really become a doom so what you really want is for the economy to grow into the current level of prices, meaning paychecks would keep going up, prices kinda stay in check and people are finally able to catch up. now the ironic part here is that some economists are raising questions about the trump plan. remember his economic agenda includes massive new tariffs. one report says that this would cost the average american family at least $1,700 a year. he's calling for a massive immigration crackdown that could cause a shortage of workers, lift wages and prices. and he's argued that the president should have a, say, some sort of way to influence fed policy. of course, there's a good reason that politicians don't get to say where mortgage rates go because they obviously you'd like to keep everything low to please voters, even if rates needs to be high to get inflation down. so ironic part here is there are some concerns that the

trump plan won't just solve inflation, that it could actually make matters worse matt, thank you so much for that. >> john all right. >> so what will the big surprises be on the convention floor tonight? we've got our best people digging for lose, but i do have to say, if we tell you the surprises, it won't be a surprise anymore. and then breaking overnight, the israeli military says it recovered the bodies of six hostages it's from inside southern gaza. what we know about the military operation

beshear right? governor, the commonwealth of kentucky, where they hurt us down with dogs. >> okay. he's. a democrat who wins in one of the reddest states and aoc, who is on the progressive movement wing, coming into the mainstream establishment to endorse kamala harris. so i, as a strategist, i couldn't be happier. >> it's hard her to hold a diverse coalition together. contrast with the republicans from trump to trump's daughter-in-law, right? i mean, it's just not a very broad coalition, honestly. it's why trump didn't have mitt romney or paul ryan or president bush or vice president cheney, or any of the heroes of his party's recent past the way the democrats are doing here illyshin, i mean, all the former president's former first lady. >> i mean, it's so many people are here. o in fact, millard fillmore's a surprise. >> speak. tonight in prime time at about 4:00 a.m. i. that's an embarrassment of riches. so as a democrat and but also as a strategist, i'd rather have this broad coalition but then to have the very, very narrow

and we got to dig up like did you know kid rock is still a thing? >> wow. >> he had a hit like in 74 do you came on in self-admitted aid, a double hater way look to read hate a double disliker when it was trump and biden in the race was this a convention hasn't been a convention, so far that speaks to use speaks to those people out there who were still on the fence. some pros and cons. it was too long and i actually really did not like the andy beshear was shortchanged for a suburban woman, erie, pennsylvania who's like, i don't know where to be that's the guy you resonate a gun-toting kentucky democrat who understands the working people of this country, that it was a great moment to celebrate the democratic party, but there wasn't a ton there for folks who might be independence moderates, are never trumpers on the fence. >> but abortion was handled excellently last night, the biggest mistake democrats could have made is making it all abortion all the time and said they had these personal impact

stories that are talking about the exceptions, rape, incest, life of the mother, protecting woman's women's future fertility with that husband and wife, i thought that was a very powerful moment on an issue that republicans essentially hid from at our convention. >> we were not talking about abortion because it is not a winning issue. so some pros and cons, the biggest thing i want to see in the days ahead is like where are the appeals to moderates i do want to play a moment from what happened with these personal stories on abortion because it was extremely emotional. >> i mean, everyone that was here and everyone that was watching an all the people that have responded to me. this is hadley duvall, who was raped by her stepfather. here's what she said to the crowd. >> two emergency rooms okay we are having technical problems, but she comes out and she tells the crowd her story about what happened to her.

>> and she said, first time it took pregnancy tests, i was 12th and i i'm so glad that i had a choice because she was raped by her stepfather their response to that was pretty strong. is this an issue even though it's not polling as a top issue, is this an issue that can really get at the heart of particularly the female vote absolutely on the day that the dobbs decision came down, i called my friend cecile richards long time president of planned parenthood, and i said, what do i need to understand about this she said this this will not age well and i said, what do you mean? she said, well, the gay rights decision age well, everyday people got more optimal with that. people are not going to get more comfortable with this. and she was right the american medical association says, as of january, it's eight months ago, they did a study in the 14 states that have banned abortion without the exceptions that alyssa talks about, no exception even for rape and incest in those states, 65,000 women had become pregnant by

rape. >> in those 14 states. >> and that's as of january. now, god help us the rape hasn't stopped. they just to study did so every day this is happening in the real-world to someone or someone's sister or so someone's mom. and so it's a real-world if this is why the republicans can't get away from it, because every single day it's a tragedy that then they have politicized. >> i had to say just take the politics out of it, the strength of that young to go on the stage speak to the entire room here, to speak to the country, everyone would you go on cnn.com to look at the video because it was i think everyone was moved no matter where they are on this position. let's i do want to talk about president biden, who did speak last night, 52 minutes long? speech, a whole lot of energy. so did he give him what the party needed in to move forward and how much of an impact do you think it will have going forward? is that one of these things that people it has resonance this morning, but by tomorrow, people are just going to forget that it ever happened

listen, i thought it was powerful. it was his swan song. he said what he wanted to say. i think we all expected he was going to lean into his record also, tee it up to say she wanted to behind this historic decision to support kamala harris, but also kind of talking about the soul of the nation. this has been his theme the arguments that we need to stand up for democracy it was powerful, it will resonate, but i will say this i was struck by jamie raskin speech, i think very highly of the congressman. i was not in the room. it didn't seem all that well-received and i'm not i don't want to make too much of an assumption, but i think that voters, i'm someone who cares about january 6, they wanted to hang my former boss that day, but i think voters have found the democracy the message to just not be as strong as some of the kitchen table issues biden did address both of those, but that is something that i think kamala harris has actually done much better than him, is sure we want to protect democracy. but here's the issues that everyday are impacting voters. >> alyssa farah griffin, paul begala, great to see both you come back here all week as they say so, gov up for us. well,

democrats are celebrating kamala harris inside the united center, chicago's protesters outside the convention center are demanding demanding, their voices be heard and demanding an end to the war in gaza. president biden's message last night to the thousands of people marching. those streets. >> comedy u.s. coming to cnn what could go wrong i got news for you for me or saturday, september 14th at nine on cnn, that job, it scientifically formulated to help you take charge of your home central gives everybody a healthy foundation. it's putting your your did it plus try centrum silver. now clinically proven to support memory in older adults how far would you go? >> it is that the ambiance of your space? try the air wigwe with air wake essential missed,

all been programmed to expect some radical streaming exclusively on max. i'm jeff zeleny at the democratic national convention in chicago and this is cnn thank you for your historic leadership, for your lifetime of service to our nation and for all you will continue to do. >> we are forever grateful to you alright vice president. and

now democratic nominee kamala harris, set the tone with a surprise appearance on stage last night, cheering on and thanking president biden, who chose her to be his running mate four years ago up tonight, a rock and michelle obama's second gentleman, doug emhoff and illinois governor pritzker, here to discuss massachusetts congresswoman katherine clark it was such an emotional night. you saw two things that i think really stood out. hillary clinton's speech and the responses sit got was perhaps, and john you, you may know about, you might have been in the room when this happened, seemed like that was even bigger of a response than when she was the nominee. and then you had joe biden here. she is there. then you had joe biden? >> so emotional very powerful in his speaking. >> what did you take away when you saw the juxtaposition, all of this is it was a wonderful

night for democrats for the country. and i think what we are seeing in this convention is it coming together? not just of the democratic party in the basin the delegates who are here, who are so energized. but if people around this country who are looking to politics and one let's see themselves reflected back and so we have these two visions as president biden said, the best is yet to come. and what we are seeing from the gop is continuing to paint our country as something that is blighted and divisive and broken and what we are seeing here in this hall is a vision of the future where we can meet the needs of working people and the challenges they're facing lower their costs, grow the middle class protect our freedoms. and those messages resonated last night you are the house minority

whip. i'm sure you'd like to be the house majority leader soon. i'm curious in a question and sort of parochial interest to you. having vice president harris as the nominee in all the momentum that seems to have gone to the campaign the last four weeks. and i think we've settled on two days, three days? how many more seats do you think are in play now than war six weeks ago? you know, we have our firmly on to 18 that is the majority. but i can tell you this energy this kind of momentum we are going to take it out of this and turn it into action. shan and continue talking to voters. and that's what our house democratic candidates are doing and doing so well. and all these races, you know, we know that kamala harris, even with all this momentum, is still the underdog. and we're going to continue to make the case not just to the base, but to people who don't see themselves in

the extremism of the gop more seats in play today than war 4.5 weeks ago? >> absolutely. absolutely. and we're going to continue to build on that. one of the really telling signs to us is not only sort of the momentum, the crowd size that the vice president is gathering, but the number of volunteers that are increasing in our house races. and the small dollar donations people are looking to house members to say, we see what the gop has delivered or not delivered since they are a do nothing congress. and we reject it. i mean, just yesterday, we had donald trump doubling down on saying he has no regrets about being the architect of undoing roe v. wade and reproductive freedom in this country yesterday, he underscored that people around this country understand that

their freedoms are at risk, and an economy that is centered around them is also very much at risk. >> i do want to ask you about the woman ness of all of this lot of female speakers last night, you heard hillary clinton again talking about glass ceiling. you're not hearing that from kamala harris on the stump it seems she's been very careful to craft the different sort of message. why do you think that is? >> i think that's who she is. i think kamala harris throughout her career, has said, i am going to do what i believe is right. she has been someone who's always concerned about the security of families, their safety, and their economic security, as well. and those are the messages that she's projecting. and i think what is so powerful about her candidacy is so many of us see ourselves in her. but the power of her is that she really sees us and she sees the american

family. and so those two things come together in one package and kamala harris is so powerful for this moment in our history, where we are really at a crossroads. but she's going to continue to lead with putting the american people though solutions they need at the forefront and the rest of us can celebrate and, and be so proud of the barriers she's breaking. but that's not her focus. her focus is on the voter and the people of this country house democratic whip katherine clark from the commonwealth of massachusetts. great to see you this morning. >> did say, yeah, i don't get on the way. >> i can feel she's hyped up thanks, guys. >> secretary of state, tony blinken is in egypt today where his mission is to continue pushing for a ceasefire iran hostage deal with the leaders of egypt and qatar blinken met with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu monday after blinken afterward, blinken said

the prime minister confirmed his support for the biden administration proposal to bridge some of the remaining differences with hamas on a ceasefire deal in a very constructive meeting with the prime minister netanyahu, today he confirmed to me that israel accept the bridging proposal that he supports it it's now incumbent on hamas to do the same joining us right now, cnn global affairs analyst kim dozier and retired brigadier general mark kimmitt. >> thanks guys for being here. general the secretary of state also said, you know, the next important step is for hamas to say yes or hamas to get to yes. >> hearing that from blinken tells you what after this is dragged on and gone on for so long and says, what about whether the next stage of this road to a ceasefire deal will be any easier well, first of all, i'm always reminded at times like this, the old saying, they never miss an

opportunity to miss an opportunity. when hamas in saudi agreement israelis backed down when israel sends out an agreement, hamas backs down. so i hope that this is a u.n. agreement that both sides can come to but i'm not optimistic that will happen. >> yeah. and kim, i mean, any deal would have to be accepted by benjamin netanyahu and yahya sinwar, who helped mastermind of the october 7 attack, who's hiding in the hamas tunnels underneath of gaza? and who became their overall leader after their political leader was killed. is it clear how much the negotiating dynamic has changed since the killing of the political leader in tehran so far, hamas seems to be very hard line, which actually doesn't differ that much from the past. but what are the problems is the americans ataris and egyptians broke down the hard parts of this deal into the second

phase. the things they're supposed to negotiate in the second phase include how long ceasefire is supposed to last, and what you have though is israel's agreed to the first phase, but both israel and hamas have said what they would do in a second phase out loud, and that's what's slowing things down. israel has said in the second phase, no permanent ceasefire and hamas has said that when you get to the second phase, they're not moving ahead without a permanent ceasefire. and that is what is holding up this first part, which is spot most to include an exchange of at least 30 of the 60, some odd hostages who are thought to be still alive. and the exchange of palestinian prisoners from iaeli jails. so at this point, is hamas posturing orill it say yes t that firsthase? it's all up to the qatari and egypan behind closed doors and ge them to say yes. otherwise, we'likely see thairanian attack that has been held in

abeyance in pes for a ceasefire if nothing moves ahead in general there was important report i wanted to ask about from last week in the new york times that still matters and applies tooday exactly what so we're talki about and here's how they led the piece, which is israel has achieved all that it can militarily in gaza, according to senior american officials who say continued bombings are only increasing risks to civilians, while the possibility of further weakening hamas has diminished. >> now the biden administration responses, it hasn't gone as far to say that or accept that was said. it won't do it publicly. >> but is that what you see in the ongoing operations in gaza? well, maybe the case would fighters are probably a small number of fighters remaining, perhaps 10%, 20% of what started the fight but one of the goals of vitamin not yahoo has been to destroy the infrastructure of hamas and i

think the more that we see what is still remaining in terms of the tunnels, in terms of their supplies, in terms of the rocket supplies, i disagree with new york times. i think militarily to destroy the hamas infrastructure israel still has a long way to go yes, we know the tunnel structure fast and a lot to go there. general kimmitt, it's great to see you as always, kim. thank you as well thank you both a new hour of cnn news central starts now good morning, everyone. i'm john berman with sara sinder. we are in chicago. kate bolduan is in new york. we are getting new details about this day of the democratic national convention coming in and we just learned that donald trump's former press secretary, stephanie grisham, and i said that, right. donald trump's former aides,
