went to gillespie to president biden? >> -- went to gillespie to president biden? >> i don't have the last date but certainly since the shooting. >> so you have open to president biden since the assassination attempt on president trump's life? >> yes, sir. >> we had a perfectly professional conversation. >> and do you have any schedule briefings for the president upcoming? >> not at the moment specifically scheduled, no? >> 2016, top fbi officials about their insurance policy to make sure trump was not elected or inaugurated as president. many have an email or expressed disappointment that trump survived the assassination attempt otherwise editorialized about the assassination attempts? >> i don't know about any agents. there have been at least two incidences or one instance of an individual who posted somethingr outrageous, totally inappropriate. and unacceptable. and that individual has been referred to our inspection division, which is the rnr sort of internal affairs and investor quarry process. >> will you report back to this committee any other incidences? i

thank you so much more, gillespie joe, opinion. great to see you both. allison. >> okay. fred right now, voters are at the polls in the uk where the fate of the ruling conservative party is on the line, 650 seats in the house of commons are up for grabs. and whichever party wins will determine who become i'm just prime minister. the incumbent pm, rishi sunak, voted this morning. he's the one who called for this surprise snap vote months earlier than necessary cnn international correspondent, nada bashir joins us now from london. it's not explain how significant this election is. we'll look, this could be a game changer off to 14 years of conservative party rule. here in the united kingdom opinion paul suggests that the conservative party could suffer major losses. would the labour party, the current opposition party sweeping in? how often more a decade now of course, there are many key issues at the forefront of voters minds. this is the first time that voters have gone to the pulses 2019 at when boris johnson was elected prime minister the leader of the concepts 40 since

so when you walk in and you have ruby slippers, dizzy gillespie is trumpet, r2-d2 and c-3po and the original kermit the frog. there's some stiff competition, but what i love about that exhibit, and it probably is the most popular right now is its yes about popular culture from. about 1842 to the present, but it's more about how we've used entertainment, sports, music, etc. popular forms as national forums to come together about who we are, who we are as a nation. who's included? who's excluded? what did we produce? you know, what do we include? what do we exclude? and it i think it's rightfully one of the most popular, perennially, although the star-spangled banner, the presidents and the first ladies, the first lady's gowns and china and the most recently, of course, masks, because with dr. biden's inaugural outfits, because there was no gown, she had a daytime ensemble and an evening ensemble. both of the designers, both women designers, created masks to go with it. so for the first time since edith taft's dress was given to the smithsonian, we collected masks. do you have all the first la

more on this now political strategist gillespie california republican party chairwoman jessica millanssica, let's begin with you and thank you for being here. what do you make of it right now this hour? do you think president biden stays in this race? let's start there. >> the president has said only the lord almighty will get him out of this race. a close second to that might be the check writing donors. but we are seeing not just from his colleagues within the party but the big donors are saying he needs to step aside. democrats are in disarray. it is hard enough to win an election on failed policies. can you imagine doing it without the resources that are necessary to give your side of the story? this it definitely spells disaster for democrats and it is good news for republicans for this difficult conversation is being held now but what is worse than president biden's mental capacity is the bench they have to replace him but most are doing worse than him in the polls. we are going to see a lot of people weighing in. even donors, big checks will not build fix that by. >> how would

maura gillespie. so much criticism of kamala harris but she was the border czar., msnbc, kamala harris was appointed as the border czar. she after a while couldn't do the job, she said i'm only going to do the root causes unlike vice president president biden who took the assignment from barack obama and did it. >> ainsley: they said the border is secure. they never acknowledged there was a problem. the president didn't go down there, kamala went maybe once and not even to an area that was seeing the most problems, the most encounters. and then they realized lawrence is doing diners, everyone in the diner is saying my number one issue is either inflation or it's immigration. then the polls showed the number one issue was either inflation or immigration for people. then they say oh, we need to change the policy down at the border. three and a half years in. they just did that a month ago. so, they acknowledged finally there was a problem because they saw the polls. same thing they did with joe biden. he's fine. these are deep fakes. this is the right media. this is

strategist richard goodstein and former adviser to republican house speaker john boehner, maura gillespie. i want to talk about this split screen, trump set to speak at the rnc tonight after surviving an assassination attempt, after getting multiple legal victories recently recently. you have president biden now sidelined by covid as he's facing more pressure from his party to step aside. what do you make of it? >> i would take issue a little bit on this whole republicans are united. we're not seeing george w. bush, mitt romney, dick cheney, mike pence, paul ryan, and the list goes on, people who worked very closely with donald trump in the white house, all of whom call him unfit. of course we're not seeing him, but they still represent people. they're not isolationists, they're not protectionists, they're not for giving pardons to cop beaters. i think this covid diagnosis was a blessing in disguise, as opposed to going from one event to another, one interview to another, the president can kind of relax, focus, talk with people about what's going on, certainly all the indications from wha

gillespie, karen finney. thank you so much for this great conversation. appreciate it. thanks josh the latest read on the country's fight against inflation. >> good news for consumers, new data just out showing a favorite inflation gauge cooling further, let's get over to cnn's paula newton. she's got the numbers boris, paula, what are you learning yeah. >> kate cooling a little bit more than expected as well if you see annual inflation there at 3%. but this is what is so interesting, kate, the month to month down 0.1. listen, i know he's numbers perhaps don't mean much in the grand scheme of things when you're going to the grocery store. but think about it, what cost you 100 bucks in those basket of goods last year on average, cost you $103. that is very good news, not just for consumers, but as we were just having the political discussion, it is a number that the white house will welcome as well. i want you to look at this annualized chart, though, when we talk about what has happened since the pandemic and you will see post pandemic that spike in prices. that is what

maura gillespie. thank you both for being here holy smokes when donors are saying, look, we're going to take money away from down ballot democrats that's got to be a real slap in the face here. >> it's troubling enough. the notion that donors might act as if they could implement in effect a kind of a slow motion coup of sorts. and for it to even be broader and say, you know what, we'll take the whole ticket. we own this party, we get to dictate thousands of or hundreds of votes elections up and down the ballot. that's not acceptable great message and if it's real, you know, i hope that some of these names will come out. i'd be very interested to know who thinks they have that kind of power. and by the way, i think they're overplaying their hand, not just with joe biden, who seems to be pretty stubborn old man in a lot of ways. but up and down the ballot. i think people would would be deeply, deeply offended at the notion that some rich folks sitting in hollywood hills or some other place can dictate w
