2:00 pm
really drive these outcomes for everybody jordan, we only have a couple of seconds left, but in your view, do you think that there's furnace around coming an organ donor. i think that there is some, but there's always more to be done and we became organ donor registered with the dmv. we would encourage anyone that's thinking about it to consider what it might actually do for somebody else. because that heart is the reason that he was able to meet it. his son, jordan and justin mace, co-founders of the laos. >> thank you so much for coming on and sharing your story. you two are doing remarkable work that certainly will help so many others out there understand this ecosystem and what needs to be done fix it. so really appreciate you coming on thank you and thank you all so much for joining me today. i'm alex marquardt, cnn newsroom with jessica dean starts now you're in the cnn
2:01 pm
newsroom. >> i'm jessica dean in new york and tonight, frustration, anger, and heartbreak are mounting across israel heated and passionate protests across the country over the last several hours. there and tel aviv organizers estimating 550,000 people taking to the streets tonight. these demonstrators are demanding prime minister benjamin i'm in netanyahu reach a ceasefire and hostage deal with hamas the country's largest labor union is joining the fight via vowing a nationwide general strike tomorrow the mounting anger coming after the tragic news, the idf recovered the bodies of six hostages, including an american from a tunnel in southern gaza he's really health ministry saying, all six of these hostages shot by short range shots likely sometime between thursday and friday of this week cnn's nic robertson is joining us now live in tel aviv and nic, we have seen these massive protests throughout the day in the
2:02 pm
evening there it's now just after midnight in israel, what have you seen on the ground? what is the general feeling in israel tonight yeah i think what we've experienced here on the streets of tel aviv and colleagues who have been going out to protests here weekend after weekend after weekend this is the biggest protest that scene of this type pulling for the prime minister to get a deal on the hostages. >> this is something that, that's grown it's it's ramped up backed off about a month or so ago, the numbers dropped top of it. that was out of concern that iran was about to strike the city. but this tonight is the biggest i've seen, the biggest they've seen the biggest numbers that the organizers are talking about. as you are saying, that 550,000 they're claiming were on the streets of tel aviv impossible for us i tried to get an accurate number because there were so many people out there. we were walking through the crowds for closer half an hour
2:03 pm
just to sort of get from one place to another in the streets we're really densely packed and it's that frustration that you're talking about. it's an anger, but also it's a muted anger tonight because people feel heartbroken about the death of the six hostages. >> they feel let down by the government. >> so there's a friends of frustration that this message, the message that they've been calling for so many the weekend that the government needs to do a deal to get the hostages home. they've heard about the divisions in the cabinet. their heard what the defense minister has accused the prime minister of, of micro-managing the situation question of not getting a deal when there could be a, could be a deal had they've heard the comments by the intelligence chief for the shin bet and the mossad who said that the prime minister is getting making the wrong assessment and getting this wrong. so there's all this has been building up and i think it just broke through in the passions that posters, the protest itself, and we were watching in the last hour or so
2:04 pm
protesters blocking that the main highway that runs north-south through television, they will lighting fires. the police were standing back for the most part, it was very peaceful the police containing rather than confronting. but as we were leaving that area, the police were really sort of breaking that up. they were writing through on mounted police on horseback, getting the protesters away, trying to sort of get that road open and you can see there the anger, the frustration that have flown out all night and people were sort of letting the message go for tonight. but but it's there's more coming tomorrow. the municipality and tel aviv going on strike many of the major unions in the country threatening to go on strike these are potentially powerful actions that could undermine the prime minister previous times when these big unions have gone on strike, the airport has been closed with the airport is saying it will be open tomorrow. but i think what we'll see over the coming
2:05 pm
few days will tell us how big and how much momentum the protests we've seen tonight actually have all right. >> nic robertson for us with the latest in tel aviv. thank you so much for that reporting. nic and among the 600 killed israeli american hersh goldberg, polin president biden speaking with his parents after his body was recovered saturday vice president kamala harris and first gentleman, doug emhoff for also speaking with his parents. cnn's kevin liptak is joining us now and kevin hersh's story and the incredible bravery and tenacity and humanity of his parents in the face of this unimaginable nightwear has been really well well-known to a lot of americans. they just spoke at the democratic national convention a couple of weeks ago what more are we hearing from the white house tonight? >> yeah. and address the convention last week was quite something i was in the arena and you could really hear a pin drop as both of them were speaking from the stage was kind of the only moment throughout the entire week that
2:06 pm
everyone in the audience's attention was focused very much on what was being said from the podium. and so i think at the way how's this is being felt very deeply, certainly by president biden and vice president harris, who as you mentioned, both spoke and separate phone calls with the parents of hersh goldberg polin earlier today, president biden did release a statement last night saying that he was devastated and outraged by this death. and he said i have worked tirelessly to bring their beloved her safely to them. and i'm heartbroken by the news of his death. it is this tragic. it as it is reprehensible. and the president goes on to say, make no mistake. hamas leaders will pay for these crimes. and we will keep working around the clock for a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages. and it was interesting did hear directly from president biden last night after these hostages were discovered beneath rafah, saying that in his view, that he believed they were still on the verge of an agreement, a ceasefire and hostage release
2:07 pm
agreement between hamas and israel. and he says, we think we can close the deal president biden certainly of the belief that even this tragic discovery does not necessarily prevent those talks from ongoing. i think when you talk to american officials, they do say that it does add a layer of complexity to what was already very difficult and painstaking negotiations. there are some new questions today about how serious hamas is about reaching a deal and certainly american officials acknowledged that this will also apply pressure on the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and certainly we're seeing that play out on the streets of israel today. it was interesting both in president biden's statement and in the vice president's statement, neither of them replied their own pressure on netanyahu either explicitly or implicitly. certainly, i think they're of the belief that that pressure will very much come from inside israel itself. >> all right. kevin liptak with the latest from washington, dc.
2:08 pm
thanks so much for that reporting. kevin, israel's opposition leader is one of the leaders of the protests that are happening right now. and he posted this scathing rebuke of netanyahu's government on social media within the cabinet, a mother netanyahu, and the deaf cabinet decided not to rescue the hostages. that blood is on their heads i call on every citizen whose heart is broken this morning to come and 7:00 p.m. to begun to demonstrate with us joining us now former israeli ambassador to the u.s. michael oren. mr. ambassador, thanks so much for being here with us. it's always nice to have you. this is certainly a very sad, heavy day in this nearly year long conflict do you believe we've reached a tipping point well, first of all, good to be with you, jessica, is a dark and traumatic and tragic day for everybody in the state of israel, those who are against
2:09 pm
the government, those who support the government, we are united in our grief here. >> and it could well be a tipping point. i think the tipping point, the pressure if we within israel on the government is very intense also within the government itself, a defense minister coming out against the prime minister, defense minister gallant other ministers coming out and calling for the prime minister to two to fire the defense minister everything at this point is up in the air and israel is going to be frozen for certainly the next 24 hours with these strikes that your correspondent talked about i'll be attending hersh's funeral tomorrow in jerusalem. i imagined the tens of thousands of people will be getting to jerusalem for these funerals. we are going to be in peroxisomes of grief for the next certainly 24, 48 hours when that is over, there's going to have to be some serious serious soul searching here. now, there's a debate about whether hamas was actually willing to accept the deal, whether, whether, whether the person was bears responsibility is nitai now there's also that tradeoff
2:10 pm
that if hamas if you accept the deal, you have to understand that hamas is going to survive. and hamas, it will have a chance to maybe reassert its authority over gaza and perhaps mount the next attack. >> there are no easy solutions here. >> everything, everything is pink and we talked to a number of israelis who were out protesting today. i was reading over some of the things that they said on person saying very angry, they were very angry that they said they don't think the government cares about the hostages. other people saying their heart was broken, the six were captured alive and they could have been saved, but they were murdered by hamas after surviving the torture of being in hostage in gaza. there is obvious anger, frustration as you've mentioned, grief and it goes without saying this is all happening because hamas attack israel and took hostages on october 7. so we start there, but i am curious how much responsibility do you think prime minister benjamin
2:11 pm
netanyahu holds here? for what has transpired well, again, the big question is, was hamas willing to accept the deal or not? >> and if hamas was not? i'm going to have to deal that then you still bear responsibility for not convincing israeli public that he did everything possible that he went the extra mile now, even though hamas said no, if hamas said yes and you said no, then at a different degree of responsibility, either way, there's going to be responsibility that's, the nature of the position the bucket there. he's the prime minister and it has been interesting to note as my colleague kevin liptak was just reporting that u.s. >> officials have not put any pressure on the prime minister the thought he was reporting is that that will come internally and we are seeing these protests here do you think that ultimately that the israeli people will get to a point where they push for a change in
2:12 pm
how this war is being prosecuted and it change in government i can see yes, the protests will continue. they could escalate easily but let's also keep in mind that the situation in gaza is not the only front. >> there are 100,000 israelis in the north who are now uprooted from their homes render data and drawn fire from hezbollah. >> there is a serious escalation of terror emanating from the west bank israeli police went missing men and one police, one was killed that were killed this morning. >> so there's a war going on in multiple fronts here. and the tendency in this country is to be rally around. >> certainly the army. >> and if possible, the government to was this this onslaught from all of our borders. so there's going to be pressures in old different directions, all different directions. but i would expect the protests to continue and to indeed escalate in the coming days. >> and going back to these
2:13 pm
hostages who were killed just for a minute we do know that three of them were slated to be among the first released in this first round of the proposed ceasefire and hostage agreement, that obviously has not been agreed upon, but has been sketched out. and we also know that these six hostages killed a short time before the idf was able to get to them. that they were likely closing in on them and were shot at a very close range what does all of this tell you? >> it tells us something very good. another painful choice, which is no good answer. >> the assumption has been that in order to get hamas to the negotiating table, you had a ramp up the pressure on hamas. >> israeli army had to go into places like rafah into gaza city to khan younis and keep up the pressure but it turns out there's really army gets too close to the hostages. and it doesn't have information in tech on the whereabouts of those hostages the people who
2:14 pm
are holding those hostages, the hamas terrorists, are allowed to take those hostages and execute them rather than have those hostages fall into that could be released by the idf so what do you do? do you not ramp up the trip pressure? do you pull israeli forces back and hoping to hamas will come to the table, or will hamas conclude, hey, now we know the secret to getting, getting israel out of the gaza strip. we just threatened to shoot hostages. >> there is no there are no good answers here. >> there are none. everything is painful. >> this point you basically have to say a blessing that you're not the prime minister, you're not in his shoes. you're not in the position that people have to make choices because at the end of the day, the choices, either way are excruciating. >> yeah. i mean, there's been this school of thought for a long time that israel, the government would have to prioritize yeah. do you want to get those hostages back or do you in netanyahu's view of all of it, eliminate hamas and can you do all those things at the same time or are they pulling in opposite directions?
2:15 pm
>> well, if you want to just take a conversation between two of my children, both of them veterans of the idf, combat veterans. my daughter who says, i don't care who wins the war as far as i'm concerned, hamas can win the war. israel has one duty in one duty only, and that's to get the hostages freed. because if israel doesn't get the hostage freed, i won't be able to send me my children to the army. her brother says yes, but if you don't destroy hamas, you don't have an army to send your kids to they're both right, jessica, that argument is going seoul's inside our hearts all the time. >> so nothing from his perspective is thinking, i can get the hostages back may risk the lives of thousands of israelis are two are now they'll come and say, why do you agree to this so either way, it's a, it's a it's a terrible choice between our sort of our heart or soul when are bodies all right, ambassador michael oren. thank you very much for that context. we appreciate it. >> rush thank you.
2:16 pm
>> so the calm labor day starts. what will be along sprint to election day and a familiar face will join vice president kamala harris on the campaign. we'll talk more about that. >> you're in the cnn newsroom sasaturday systolele, cnn is t g a breaeak from brereaking newsw aiair. >> have i got news foror you? > breaking g news. i'm gettia sandwich. >> we need to talk about what constitutes breaking news. >> provide got news for you. the memere saturdaday, sepeptem 1414th at ninene on n cnn and streamining next dayay on recip recipepes written n by an lalase arare now being g analyzed and reststored usingng the powerer right? >> sandwororm is out o of the babasement andnd the furnanace been exexercised. and otheher progreressive holmlman auto bub fully prototected from thehe unexpepected beetlejejuice caus quite e a ruckus o on. jamie k his naname beeeetlejuice, , say hihis nameme three timimes is hu summonon, right?

2:21 pm
battleground states tomorrow, vice president kamala harris at joining president joe biden in pittsburgh for a labor day event that's focused on the working class. >> she's also visiting detroit earlier in the day. >> foreign president donald trump's campaign also has michigan in mind in hosting a video call with some united auto workers. although that union has already endorsed harris joining us now, larry sabato, the director for the center for politics the university of virginia, and editor of the book, the return to normalcy. the 2020 election, that almost broke america. larry, always good to have you on. thanks so much for being here with us. i want to talk first about this new abc ipsos poll that shows vice president harris with a slight lead, 50% to 46%. that's about where it wants so she didn't get a huge bump coming out of the dnc. what do you make of that she got her bump going again. this was a completely unprecedented situation and the enthusiasm and energy generated by the
2:22 pm
replacement of president biden with vice president harris really generated a significant bump for kamala harris before the convention even meant i think the convention reinforced it, but actually this, this isn't unusual in another way, in recent elections, there has been virtually no bounce on either side. we used to get big bounces something times 567 points for the side that just had their convention. that's gone. i think it's a product of polarization. we already know who were four is just a question of whether we're going to go vote or visit our couch yeah. >> and that's what i actually wanted to ask you about because i suspected you might it say that it is actually because we're just such a polarized country at this point, and people are so dug in on either side. but there's a traditional kind of common or conventional wisdom in politics that after labor day, everybody starts to pay attention. that's when voters really start to click in. but in this case, the
2:23 pm
voters that are likely going to decide this race, it's a tiny little margin of voters in a handful of states. what do you think might move them? and what are they going to be looking for to inform their decision as we get closer? >> jessica, of course, it's $64,000. question, but we're talking about 45, 6% of the electorate. that is truly undecided and torn. i know a lot more people say, oh, i haven't decided yet. >> but if we could examine their conferences somehow, i think we'd find that they know how they're going to vote. >> and we look at their record of voting as well so i don't think that it's much beyond 456. let me divide that into two about half of that group our high information voters who are going to pay attention to absolutely everything they read constantly, they debate politics in their office and then you have the other half of that group. they were once called and the 950s, no offense
2:24 pm
to anybody. the dregs of the electorate, they are not interested in politics and youth usually they don't even show up to vote. they resolve their lack of knowledge by leaving it to everybody else and who's to say that's not the best solution yeah. you do look to september 10 when this debate is scheduled, it's right around the corner how impactful do you think it might be that's another 64,000 this is amounting to real money. jessica, big big dollar here. >> i can pay it, but i'm going to leave that and what i think is important is we all learned again on june 27 at the cnn debate that everybody who has been saying debates don't matter are completely wrong. in fact that matter so much that we got an unprecedented change of leaders in a party, an incumbent president moving out and his vice president being designated that's never
2:25 pm
happened in american history. and going back through the debates beginning in 1960, the kennedy nixon debates there have been arguably five or six presidential debates in different elections that actually have affected the results. so i don't think anybody's going to ignore september 10. now, having said that, remember if five or six have affected the results that means that far more than that have not affected the results. so odds are, it won't change that much. but who's going to count on that? everybody's going to be watching well, and we're in a we're in a weird election year. so anything can happen i do think obviously abortion has become a big issue. it's gone right back to the forefront as we head into this final stretch and we just last week saw former president trump really flip-flopping specifically on that potential, on that valid the initiative in florida which would potentially overturn the six-week abortion
2:26 pm
ban. there and then he went back and said he wouldn't be voting for it do you think the former president look when i was covering the primaries, he can draw into santa's, put that into place in florida, and the foreign president at the time said he didn't agree with it. but do you think that trump is trying to pull his party to a position that might be more mainstream, more palatable. they continue to lose on this issue ever since roe versus wade was overturned. >> yes. and that's ironic, isn't it? because the one person most responsible for the overturn of roe v wade is donald trump. >> even though he takes credit for it all the time. for it all the time he was once as he said, to a sunday morning host, about 25 years ago i am one 100% pro-choice. well, thanks changed as we know, and then he appointed the three justices of the supreme court who overturned roe v wade. and now he sees the consequences he
2:27 pm
actually saw them to his credit in 2022 because that's why democrats did not lose nearly as much in those midterms thermal elections as many had projected. so he's trying to avoid the negative consequences, but you can't have your cake and eat it too. in this case, you either are going to take credit for the overturning of roe v. wade or you're going to do the opposite and try to find ways to minimize the change that there's no way to do both and i assume he understands that, but he wishes it weren't true and that's the genesis of all these policy changes that he makes off the top of his head alright. >> larry sabato, we're going to leave it there, but always good to see you. thanks so much. >> thank you, jessica ukraine is using drones to launch one of its biggest attacks inside russia since the start of the war, we're going to break this down when cnn newsroom returns you're still. going, to one class president will be slogan, wow, working on campaign

2:33 pm
book, our enemies will vanish. the russian invasion and ukraine's war of independence. thanks so much for being here with us i want to talk first about this offensive by ukraine targeting russia's energy infrastructure in a way, is this kind of giving russia a taste of its own medicine and what they were doing at the beginning of this war well, absolutely, that's exactly what i was going to say 42 years russia has been trying to destroy ukrainian power stations, grainy refineries. you much the entire infrastructure with it's cruise and ballistic missiles and with drones ukraine is not allowed by the u.s. >> and western allies to use some long-range missiles that had been supplied to target sovereign russia ukraine has spent the last two years developing its own drone capabilities. and as we are seeing now, these drones can reach pretty much anywhere in the european part of russia and
2:34 pm
they've been striking almost every day at strategic energy and military infrastructure targets. there and what kind of an impact can that have well i think there are two to two levels and one level actually it is denting the russian ability to produce fuel for the military. because both the refineries are being targeted, but also the strategic reserve locations for the military. but also psychologically, it's it's very it shows to the orlan russian citizens when a drone can hit your finery in moscow, in the capital of russia just to what extent all of russia's state and military reserves and resources are being used to fight a war in ukraine whereas russia itself as an protective, we're seeing this drone attacks. but we also saw it last month when the ukrainian military pushed through the russian border and managed to capture without much resistance as significant chunk of the kursk region of russia
2:35 pm
precisely because the russian mill was not there was an ukraine, right? >> and then they had to move them around russia's missile strikes on kharkiv appear at this moment to have targeted civilians. this is something that continues to happen. you talk about psychological warfare in a way. what does this tell you about russia's strategy here? >> well, russia strategy all along since the war began, was to try to target civilian infrastructure, civilians in ukraine's forced him especially in kharkiv now, for the first several months of the war, the russian military was on the edge of the city, literally on the ring road and was shelling the city with everything that got mortars, artillery, tanks. now they're further away, so they have to resort to, to missiles or light bombs and so it happens and not nearly as frequently as it wasn't the beginning, but still, i mean, all along the russian strategy in ukraine was to precipitate an exodus of
2:36 pm
refugees to have millions and millions of ukrainians flee the country, have the economy collapse which would make it easier in there mind to conquer ukraine. >> it hasn't happened at way what i mean, i think it sort of backfired. >> and actually strengthened the resolve of ordinary ukrainians to fight back i also want to ask you, you have your latest piece in the journal. >> focus is on the arrest of telegram founder in france and you talk about the connectivity there to the russian military and how this could seriously affect russia's ability to communicate on the battlefield. can you tell us more about that? >> yeah. well, the russian military has really been relying on telegram for a lot of its communications because as they found out, when the evasion of ukraine began, they really don't have enough secure communications devices. a lot of the radio traffic was intercepted by the ukrainians and telegram because it's not a western company it's based in

the united arab emirates, is seen as by many in the russian military is more safe and secure so a lot of his messaging was going on through that platform targeting for artillery, drone feeds reconnaissance information. >> and now there is a panic in russia. >> you can see it on telegram itself among russian military analyst soldiers who are saying that if western governments, france, united states, gains access to all the traffic, while all their secrets will be open. and so they have been instructions to stop using telegram and they're not very many other alternative systems right now it is, it just kinda fascinating how connected it all is. yaroslav trofimov. thank you so much for being here with us. we appreciate it thank you. >> great to be on show. >> we're going to have much more on the protest across israel as hundreds of thousands of israelis are taking to the streets calling for a ceasefire and hostage deal i'll tell you you have prime minister benjamin netanyahu is

2:43 pm
what more are you learning about this? >> hey jessica, the 49ers today saying that ricky pearsall has been released from the hospital. so good news there and his mother also saying that he was in good spirits. there's a facebook post that was obtained by the athletic and in it she says that he was shot in the chest, but that the bullet exited in his back and says that it missed all of the vital organs. so he is okay. she says it was god protecting him in that facebook post that's what she was saying. now, we know that this happened at around 3:30 p.m. yesterday was playing in daylight in the union square. this is a very popular area. of san francisco where people normally go shopping. so he was walking alone when this 17 year-old's came to rob him at gunpoint. now, there was a struggle. there was an altercation and that gun went off and both of them were injured. the 17-year-old and the football player that 17-year-old took both running, but police were able to arrest him now because
2:44 pm
he's a juvenile, the district attorney is saying that she's going to make that charging decision either tuesday or wednesday, and he will be charged in juvenile court now we're essentially waiting to see what happens next, but there are limited details because he is 17-years-old. this also just sparking a lot of conversation and bringing all of this back into the national conversation in terms of the safety of sand in francisco and the mayor london breed saying this is a setback in all of this. and what she's been working on to try to get san francisco to be an area that's known as a place that's safe essentially, here's what she said. take a listen. >> we are glad that the victim will be okay but this incident does set us back from all the hard work that we've done don in order to make significant changes in public safety in san francisco, we still have the lowest violent crime rate of any major city. city we are on
2:45 pm
track to have record low numbers of gun violence, in particular, in the city and officials saying this was just an attempted robbery and he was not targeted for being a football player, but i do want to point out some of the statistics that the mayor was mentioning according to the city compared to 2023 in the first quarter of 2024, the property client property crime declined by 32% and the violent crime declined by 14. >> you see it right there. gun violence declined by 38%. so those are the numbers that she's pointing to, but there are others that say this is not enough and say that more needs to be done in san and francisco. and among them, the person that's running against her for mayor, matt feral. he says enough is enough. and he says there needs to be changed in city hall, so we'll see what happens moving forward. but thankfully this football player is okay. >> yeah, amazing. he'll be able to make that recovery. camila bernal. thank you so much for that reporting. >> we'll be right back from
