it happened under barak obama. it happened under joe biden it didn't happen with donald trump. in fact, the weapons that ukraine use in the early days of this war to fend off the russian invasion or the weapons that donald trump

as vice president, the first black president i was proud of barak obama. and to see him age and to see that he is not the same person. i couldn't stop what contemplate maybe it is time for the president to wrap this up so speaking, 11 moment of pause. there was a point where in the last midterm election, where john fetterman had a stroke and every one of the democratic party wondered whether or not we should not have vitamin k for the defense to say that's right on the ballot in the senate in pennsylvania even though fetterman didn't do very well, his debate and, you know, he wasn't as functional as he is today. voters still voted for him because of the politics of the moment. so it doesn't mean that the campaign is lost but again, it is incumbent upon the president and the white house to make the case that voters, it's not the voters were supposed to accommodate. >> you're talking about being the catholic advance man that you are democrats are there is some griping, complaining, but whatever word you want to use not. not just about preparation, but that b

even see anymore schedule told me this is the moment they have cyst of the former us president barak obama was teargassed when live on cnn alma obama, a kenyan-british activist who lives in their ob among crowds of protesters on tuesday, kenya in the grip of a quote, total shutdown in response to a controversial finance bill, which includes proposed tax hikes on basic foods including sanitary products, amid a cost of living crisis. young people need a future. they have no jobs 50% of our population under 35 no jobs. he got taxing them without taxing the jobless the protests are part of the country's quotes seven days of rage tuesday's event, turning deadly with policemen heading and detaining demonstrators even resorting to live rounds, discarded those who want their voices to be heard the bill would spots these protests and led to this destruction is seen as an added barrier for those already burdened by the high cost of living the anger intention is felt across the country with people like a woman standing up for what they see as injustice alma obama has long used her voice to protect th

it happened under barak obama. it happened under joe biden, it didn't happen with donald trump. in fact, the weapons that ukraine use in the early days of this war to fend off the russian invasion or the weapons that donald trump scent that barak obama and joe biden had refused to sin one reason why joe biden or vladimir putin thought he could get away with going for the jugular and ukraine is because of the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan, which projected weakness and indecision. it was just a few weeks later that he began to mass troops on ukraine's border. present trump has said that he believes and supports ukraine's survival and strength, but he also thinks that europe should do more. in fact, should care more because it is in their backyard. it is on their borders. i think that to europe should be doing more of this. but what we all want is returned to the peace and stability that we had when president trump was president, not the war and chaos we've seen over the last four years, does it bother you at all when president trump says things like like if ukraine wins,

joe biden because barak obama has run for president. i think you'd respect his judgment and his wife. dr. joe biden, who has been at his side. so i think the rest is just speculation, and i rather than the democrats focus on helping the president, drive the economic contrast i would wear the party that's pro abortion rights. donald trump wants to ban it, where the party that wants to provide childcare and affordable housing, donald trump wants to help his rich friends. that's what we all need to be focused on. >> and you are laser-focused on that. we've heard that we've heard no one in president biden's inner circle is going to step is going to, is going to be telling him to step down. as you said, maybe the only person he has a conversation with his wife, he is often insisted congressmen that he does not believe the polls i want to play for you. what he actually told erin during their exclusive interview about that with less than six months to go to election day. >> are you worried that you're running out of time to turn that around? >

in 2008 robinson had a front row seat to history when her son-in-law, barak obama became president and her daughter, first lady of the united states on election night, she was right there holding barack obama's hand. soon she said goodbye to the south side of chicago and moved to the white house, taking on the role of what she called first grandmother her husband had passed away in 1991. here's what marion robinson told the boston globe at the time. doing it. >> but i really want to do it not even a like with these kids had been better as the obamas noted in their statement, we needed her the girls needed her, and she ended up being our rock through it all. and she seemed to embrace her new role. there was the white house easter egg roll the kennedy center honors, and a certain celebrity came with it too. she and michelle obama grace the cover of essence magazine, and she had the chance to travel the world with her daughter. this photo is from their trip to south africa. according to her family, over their eight years in washington, are the only person robinson asked to meet was the po

how it escalated to this to this point, you also spoke with the half sister of former president barak obama, who was there protesting that is adding that was extraordinary because she generally stays away from politics. alma obama, best today's she says she needed to join these young people kenya who are protesting. i want you to listen to what she told me because look at what's happening what, demonstrate you for their rights. >> they're demonstrating with flags and banners. i can't even see anymore schedule told me that, is an extraordinary scene to see how obama out here and these young people were back here on the streets and you see that tear gas getting fired here and so many of these protests does not intimidated by that some of what we hear sound like live rounds here outside parliament we're not exactly certain, but there's a distinctive sound between what is tear gas and what is live ammunition. >> and we have seen police used live ammunition here using rifle an ak-47 and protests are saying, we are peaceful, stop shooting us, stop killing us with one man, one young man, lying on

president i didn't attended over the weekend with former president barak obama brought in 30 million. and that one night alone, that is the largest democratic fundraiser in us history. and the president and obama also use that really to try to make a stark warning about what a second trump presidency could hold with our eye on the debate as the two men prepare to face off for the first time since 2020. >> wow, the largest haul and history for democrats, i actually didn't know that that's really interesting. thank you so much. or lead. appreciate that. let's kick off this week with a panel of terrific reporters. cnn's glory border, seung min kim of the associated press, cnn, geoff zelenskyy, and cnns, alaimo, train happy monday, one and all. i'm geoff zelenskyy. i know you've been doing some according about just like i asked arlette about the decision-making process and the pros and cons that were debated internally about this ad campaign. >> look so much hand-wringing among democrats should president biden in the campaign go after the convictions? should he not focus on his own issues

he served with barak obama as vice president. he ran again with a lot of people, tried to discourage them from doing so in 2020, i think the guy would know as arm off before he gave up the presidency. and so i think democrats have a real trouble, real problem ahead of them. not only to get him to bow out, but think about this. who do they replace them with? unless it's kamala harris? i don't think it can put another white guy on the ticket for a party that so tied into gender politics. and to me, the only one on that list is someone like michelle obama. and i think she's too smart at this point. don't want to get in the race now, we heard kamala harris come out swinging for joe biden, still standing by his side, for him to run for president. thank you so much. scott walker for your comments this morning and you're analysis from your camp john. alright, this morning a new warning from health officials were covid cases are spiking and how you can avoid it and then breaking overnight. the first criminal charges have been brought ove

this comes off the heels when he had a big fundraiser with steven colbert also interesting that barak obama, the former president alongside him i think this is an area where he can show some livelihood. they're there when you look at some of the quotes that came out of there to your point, oftentimes, these are very tight lipped affairs, but you saw that biden was kind of off the cuff making jokes, i think in a way, they're trying to showcase him, not just as and the elderly president and that he can kind of smart that he's cool, right? is there a cool factor with hollywood? i think that biden's hoping that that can rub off on him a little bit. >> certainly wasn't louisiana. i think that there's something about hollywood brings a lot of enthusiasm. we saw that obviously with barack obama, there was an entire movement around how cool, as you said, barak obama was. i i do think we talk about young voters, older voters talked, you mentioned gaza, but i also think like when we're talking about some of these groups that donald trump is trying to siphon voters away from a lot of that is because t

that joe biden easily one that every democratic presidential candidate has fairly easily won since barak obama back in 2008 my goodness, gracious, but it's more than that. the dates on this poll, this is post-conviction. if democrats were hoping that the conviction of donald trump trump in the city of new york, in the borough of manhattan, where i am right now is going to mess up this race, move the race more towards joe biden. these pulse should be a wake-up call for them and arizona and nevada, the fact that donald trump is ahead by five percentage points. this is very much in line with the polling that we saw prior to the conviction, which suggests state that joe biden was a lot and a lot of trouble in the sunbelt battleground states nothing i see here changes my mind about that. the only thing that really changes my mind about anything was i didn't think that joe biden would really need to seriously campaign in the state of virginia or the commonwealth of virginia. he may very well have to if this paul result holds in other poll results. >> so let's talk about that. >> that virginia poll f

yeah, ronald reagan did in 1984, barak obama didn't practice as much as he should have been 2012. but so president biden, who played cleanup duty in that device, presidential when he was vice president, is aware of that, but look, the rules are important. the fact that there is no audience. the fact that the microphone that is perhaps the open question they've been practicing with this, unlike last time the microphone will not be on. so president biden and former president trump cannot interrupt one another necessarily on mic, but can they still do it to rattle them? so the rules are interesting, but the no audience. so key, yeah, to be clear, and we already talked about this shortly. i'm going to take you behind the scenes, show all of this, how it actually works. we this earlier today, it's invaluable to watch to understand how this is all going to work out. the campaigns have seen it. the campaign's understand the rules, the structures that campaigns have all agreed to the rules and structures. do you think it benefits one side or the other when there's no audience, when there'

you treat darwin the convention, sarah the former president barak obama, he's weighing in and he wrote this bad debate nights happen. trust me, i know. but this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life, and someone who only cares about himself so what do you think is there something bigger going on here? >> i mean, he's right, the stakes could not be higher in this election. and i've said publicly that i will vote for joe biden even after last nice to disastrous performance i'll still be voting for him. but my god, if democrats put up any other candidate to run against donald trump, they would win easily, but with joe biden, they're rolling the dice. and i think there's too much at stake. and i think it's irresponsible of these top democrats look, they're texting people like melanie, telling them their worst fears, but they're not willing to go on and say these things public and i think that if one top democrat came out and said this, what they're all saying privately, then maybe the dam would break and then others would follow suit a

there's a barak obama mitt romney race from 2012 heading into the debate, polls show that obama had a narrow li, but outside the margin of error according to a gallup poll at the time, four points, he was then afterwards obama didn't do as well in that debate, there was a bit of a jump for romney, cut it down to about two points. that will significant other bomb of course, ultimately one do we accept, do we expect that kind of bounce this time? and for that kind of bounce to last for whoever is perceived to have won the race i would expect that we will see slightly fewer undecided voters to the extent that we have even this 34, 5% still out there saying, i truly don't know what i'm going to do. that may after seeing the debate, either have their concerns about biden. okay. my my my mind is it ease those concerns are laid or if trump does really well saying, hey actually maybe i can't see myself putting this guy back in for four years. >> so we could clear up some questions for the type of voter that i would call lower engagement. the foreperson who is not tuning into watch a ton of ne

we saw that obviously with barak obama, there was an entire movement around how cool as you said, barak obama was. i thinking we've, talk about young voters, older voters talked, you mentioned gaza, but i also think when we're talking about some of these groups that donald trump is trying to siphon voters away from a lot of that is because there's a lack of it. louisiana, it's not just trying to get the voters. it's also trying to depress them from coming out for biden. and a lot of that starts with this idea that there's no enthusiasm for president joe biden. so doing stuff like this but something where you bring eyes to him in a very fun way, whereas a lot of what people see is him being kind pointed to as an older precedent. and instead, this gives him that kind of young edge of being in hollywood and that gives republicans opportunity, paint him as out of time right here, that as well all right cnn's presidential debate is almost here. do details about how they're getting ready and what they've agreed to. and that's not it should be a big evening. they say super bowl numbers. so eve

joe biden is not barak obama. there is no real historical comparison here.happened last night. the debate last night has forced america to confront its flaws. you have donald trump the republican nominee, convicted felon on 3a counts, who literally lied for 90 minutes unchecked by anybody. you had joe biden who was unable to check him because he did not perform last night. and you had the media moderators who did not do any fact checking and it makes me question the point of having journalists and outlets like that that do these debates. but these three elements — the republican party's unwillingness to unload donald trump, joe biden�*s failure to perform last night, the media not being able to figure out how to handle donald trump since 2015 — has led us to this day. so, yes, right after the debate, joe biden was thejoe biden we have seen many times, just like thejoe biden that performed today, just like thejoe biden that performed today. he has to do that every day if he is to continue, but i think until there is real data and looking at real polls and rea

joe biden right now is the guy, the plarf worked for the former president of the united states, barak obama. >> obama admits that last night's debate was bad. bad debates happen. he says, but the choice as it were, is still between biden and trump someone that democrats view as flawed. but decent piton headed against a convicted felon that they see as a threat to democracy last night, didn't change that obama says, joining me now is the ranking democrat on the house foreign affairs committee. and that's congressman gregory makes congressman if democrats say that donald trump is a threat to democracy why take a chance on a candidate who the american public has said time and time again, they do not think is fit to run for president and be president. another four years, because you look at the work that joe biden has done, you look at bill that we've passed. i've sat next to him. a history. he's going to record joe biden as making nato stronger than ever. you know, we just said, i'm on the foreign affairs committee. i look, he's got south korea and japan, two nations that never talked. we look

the most significant effort was made by barak obama and iran's then president hassan rouhani both spokef creating a new relationship it was not friendship as iran's foreign minister, java's zarif pointed out to me by the iran nuclear deal was premised, not on trust, but on mistrust. each side carefully protected. its interests in that document. >> but it did create the possibility of a working relationship and iran did adhere to the deal, moving further away from a nuclear weapons program than it had been for decades but donald trump blew up that deal and that opportunity. >> and in iran, forces opposed to the deal and any kind of rapprochement with washington gained power i'd like roe han. >> and now rule with an even more google fest can washington it there on fine common cause again it seems unlikely that fork in the road lies far behind us. >> the bath, both countries are on is one. they are both comfortable with despite the fact that it is filled with tensions and misunderstandings. and could even lead to war thank you for watching the special our on iran. you can

want to ask ed, let me start with you it feels to me that the defense so far being presented by barak obamaat biden had a bad night sort of misses the point, the problem was that people were already worried as to whether or not he was competent to do the job by i wrote a piece that i think three months ago pointing out that in 2020, biden led trump by nine points on the question of the who is more competent to govern trump now leads by 16 points. so it's all this was going into the debate. there are 25 point gap between people who they thought was more competent. in a cnn poll right after the debate, 57% of viewers said they had no confidence and biden's ability to lead compared to trump who was at 44. so the problem feels to me like putting the president out again in scripted staged events with teleprompter is not going to solve the problem of what people saw on that debate night i don't think it's going to solve the problem at all. >> i mean, remember that biden on thursday night, was biden after several days of prep and rehearsing with aides at camp david, that was the result of really i

style that advantage was attended by former prison barak obama and late-night host jimmy kimmel, among others, who want audiences that former president donald trump is a threat to democracy actors, george clooney and julia roberts were also there it comes as mr. biden and trump have agreed to accept the rules of the first presidential debate to be hosted by cnn on june 27. >> will these include muted microphones throughout the debate, except when it's the candidates turn to speak. no props or pre-written notes on stage, and both have also agreed to appear at a uniform podium and their physicians will be determined by a coin flip. they will also be no studio audience new developments this hour in the israel-hamas war, the israeli military says it has started a daily tactical pours in one part of southern gaza to allow more aid to reach palestinians. but the military says the fighting in rafah continues the idf says the pores will run from 8:00 a.m. local time until 7:00 p.m. local time every day until further notice will cnn has been weighed them and joins us now live from beirut with m

he is here in los angeles where he will be attending a fundraiser with former president barak obama, julia roberts, and george clooney really tried to tap in some of that star power in this campaign so far, the campaign has not said how much they raised, but a similar event between biden obama and clinton brought in $26 million. so the campaign is hoping to bring in another big hall here in los angeles with this fundraiser as they are trying to to keep that cash advantage over donald trump. arlette saenz, cnn los angeles former president donald trump celebrating and 78th birthday with a room full of suborders in west palm beach, florida while he didn't shy away from the bag, that 78 he did manage not to attack joe biden for his age, just a few years older than donald trump, we should be clear that if he were to with donald trump it would be the oldest person to accept or sworn in as president in history. >> that is something donald trump himself is acutely aware of. but again, why he has been can you do avoid the topic of age while exalting joe biden, take a listen. >> we have a pres

election day meantime, president biden traveling to los angeles for fundraiser with former president barak obama and some of hollywood's biggest stars. the event raised a democratic record of 30 million but here's where chest isn't the only headline emerging from that event. biden delivered stark warnings about a trump presidency and he harshly criticized the us supreme court the next president is likely to have two new supreme court nominees. >> two more two more. he's already appointed to that are been very negative in terms of the rights of individuals. the idea that if he's reelected, he's going to appoint two more foreign flags upside down. the supreme court has never been as out of kilter as it is today. look, fact of the matter is that this has never been a court that's been this far out of step right. >> joining me right now to talk more about all of this is charlie dan, he is a former republican congressman from pennsylvania, and also joining us is megan hayes. she is a former special assistant to president biden and served as a white house director tour of message planning. great to se

reelected, of course, the president went on to say that institutions matter and former president barak obama also added to that argument, noting that some of the, some of the behavior of former president donald trump has been normalized in ways that would be disqualifying to a candidate in the past. and also noting that the core values of each of the candidates have to be considered. so all of this too, again build that argument for the next few weeks, something we'll be hearing a lot of and also adding to the campaign coffers, as we noted, millions coming into their pockets from this fundraiser and all of this as they hope to build more momentum going into the these next few months, fred. alright, priscilla alvarez. thank you so much meantime, former president donald trump also on the campaign trail this weekend, traveling to the battleground state of michigan, where he spent part of his day, according black voters at a church in detroit he then baselessly cast doubt on the 2020 election as a way to attack the 2024 election. and a conservative conference last night, cnn's even mackinnon has

. >> secrets and spies premiers tomorrow at ten on cnn eight years ago this week, barak obama became the first sitting us president since world war ii to visit the japanese city of hiroshima, where on august 6, 1945, america dropped the first of two atomic bombs they ended the war, but changed the world forever. >> 70,000 people died instantly. the death toll doubled before the year was out, three days later, a second atomic bomb detonated over nagasaki, killing another 40,000 president obama is 2016 visit was a gesture of reconciliation and a call for a world without nuclear weapons we have a shared responsibility to look directly into the eye of history and ask what we must do differently the curb such suffering. >> again from my archive this week back in 2020, i spoke with one of the few remaining hiroshima survivors, setsuko furlough on the 75th anniversary of the bombings. she told me about the agonizing memories that's still haunted her you would just a 13-year-old girl when that bomb was dropped on hiroshima what. were you doing at the time? and what do you remember i remember

biden looked out at the crowd of for a few seconds before walking off stage with former president barak obama. now, there have been republicans and write leaning media outlets who have used this moment to say that president biden froze and that he had to be led off the stage by president obama. that is something that the white house, and also obama allies have been pushing very hard back against since this video was released. as you mentioned, one of president obama's former adviser is eric schulz, a tweeter that this did not happen. andrew bates is spokesperson here at the white house, as said, in a post on x quote by pretending the president taking in and applauding crowd for a few seconds is somehow wrong. all there really admitting is once again, is they can take on the leadership that's fueling the strongest economic growth in the world and bringing violent crime to have 50 year low of white house press secretary karine john pierre, in the briefing today when she was specifically asked about those, said that obama and biden, our friends and what you saw was that they were friends and tha

rule that incumbent presidents do terrible on their first debate when they get back, you remember barak obama in 2012? reagan in 1984 and basically he's going to try to not fall for the same, the same tricks because they know the stakes. if he has a terrible debate, not only is going to be more murmurs about, well, can you do it? is this the guy? but then you can see the polls go even further in the wrong direction form. >> alright. it kinda alex thompson, thanks to both you appreciate it. so unproductive and completely untrue. the back-and-forth between the biden white house and one of america's closest allies. >> that's next they are unpredictable sleeping giants every volcano has its own personality you don't understand them. they are windows into part of our planet. lives will be lost, violent earth, would we have schreiber sunday at nine on cnn? >> whether you're doing it yourself from hiring a pro today, let's paint. >> maybe pair exclusively at the home depot with so many choices on booking.com there are so many tina phase i could be. so i hired body doubles to help me out splurging. >

ronald reagan, barak, obama, when he was running for reelection in 2012, we saw this with george w bush in 2004. incumbent presidents tend to sort of be in a bubble for four years and they're not necessarily out on the campaign trail. they don't have primary season debates and they show up on that debate stage as this bubbled up, president and the little bit off their fastball on dealing with confronting candidate across the stage from them. what is different here? and though, yes, that may all be true for incumbent joe biden, but donald trump didn't debate in the primary season. he wasn't out there campaigning every day during the primary season. c02 lives in a bit of a bubble of being a former president and so i'm not sure that that traditional advantage of the challenger has to be incumbent is fully on display here. this time around. well we'll see, thursday night to all of you. thank you very, very much. just ahead. >> more on the intense preparations for a presidential debate with someone who's been in the room, the former republican senator rob port for the standing by live plus n

they have system of former president barak obama. she came out on the streets to support the young people who are out protesting. and she was tear gas to a live on cnn and she was struggling to breed like i was because she said, i'm only here to support these young people who are raising their voice about the high cost of living. and this is not the way the government should be dealing with. it sees usually it's a free of politics. she does not usually discuss politics. i'm not sure if you have the sun, but i'd like to play that for you i'm here because look at what's happening young kenyans demo said you for the right they're demonstrating with flags and banners. >> i can't even see anymore yeah. gosh. we that was alma obama and her daughter out on the streets supporting young people and getting tear gas. >> police have not told cnn why they have had this overly militarized response to largely peaceful protesters. we did see police using live rounds outside parliament and cnn. so at these two bodies lying on the street as a result o

they remember how he tried to diminish barak obama, the first black president with a birtherism movement. they remember that blackmail unemployment or black unemployment was double record high under trump so they're not forgetting these, they're not falling for this rhetoric and all of these efforts. but could he and i were talking backstage and green room and my point to her was this focus on black men and black voters and all of this polling. i really am enjoying because it is really having the reverse effect. and what i think trump wants, it's it's putting the democratic party in a position to focus on black voters. earlier, sooner and more aggressively than they ever have. i've done four presidential campaigns. i've been in all the war rooms and it's not until october, mid october where the black staff or screaming, pulling out their hair saying, please pay attention to us, right? like we're bleeding black voters. so for it puts the democratic party in a position to actually start to organize better appeal to black voters. they put 25 million in ad that's a record number record earli

the half sister of former president barak obama, joining these young people.and the protests and she was teargassed while live on cnn. and she said all the young people are saying, is listened to us, john and the government does not seem to be paying attention larry, i know you also saw people hurt. >> maybe maybe more than hurt on the streets. >> describe some of what you saw what, did see, at least two bodies are lying outside kenya's parliament in one, most heartbreaking scene. >> it was a young man who had been shot by a live rounds right in front of our eyes. his brains shattered on the floor outside kenya's parliament. we saw at least one of the young man, but also been killed after we saw police used live rounds outside kenya's parliament to trend beat back protesters who made their way to the wall and eventually inside kenya's parliament. cnn has reached out to the police to understand exactly what happened here and to get an updated number of casualties, we have not heard back from the kinepolis yet, but this is the scene leading to kenya's parliament

and i was so happy to see our former president barak obama and mitt, hey, i had a bad night, i guess mitt romney, 2012. he was reelected and so would it campaigns got to do now is do exactly what they did hit in raleigh, north carolina, me two different tales of joe biden me and debate night was not that good you definitely stumbled, but on friday around supporters was great, was focusing on message. so i think you've got to see more of that. joe biden going to campaign but can he be friday, north carolina? joe biden every day? no no one can limit is more more often than he is thursday. he's gotten there you go. more often now. it's up to his team to say, hey, okay, let's not ever put him in another situation like that. but candidates on the campaign trail, victor, i've been there be rob has been there they they have some bad days. and would they gotta do now is make sure that the settings are right and show more authentic job biden. we need the onco joe bad. let him be a little less script it. go off the record, say some things that actually people may disagree with. people may be s

and president biden actually just got some major backup from his former boss, former president barak obama, who posted on social media, quote, that debate nights happen. trust me, i know what this election is about someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life in someone who only cares about himself, it's an interesting reference as president obama actually floundered in his own first debate against mitt romney back into 2012, i was actually on hand 12 years ago with joe biden when he had to go out and do cleanup duty for president obama. so it's interesting the dynamics at play this time around, but president biden is now on his way here to new york city. he will be appearing at the stonewall inn, a historic ascites of the gay rights movement and also attend a fundraiser a little bit later this afternoon noon at this evening, with lgbtq supporters. and it comes at a time with the biden campaign is at least trying to highlight one bright, bright spot from last night. the campaign says they brought in 14 million on debate de in this morning trying to highlight some of that grass

but you may remember that first debate back in 2012 were barak obama just did horribly mitt romney won that debate and the voter's minds by 42 points. but of course he didn't become president barack obama was reelected. so i guess if you want to take a look on the one bright note, is there is a history of someone losing the first debate as an incumbent and going on to win the presidency. and that was 12 years ago okay. >> so you're saying that somebody, i mean, you have seen examples of somebody coming from behind basically, and that way after after a poor debate yeah that is true. but here's the thing that i would note, which is that joe biden was trailing going into the first debate. okay barack obama was leading. so i want to limit it down for you. incumbents who are trailing going into the first debate and then lost that first debate. well, how about jimmy carter lost that one debate he took on ronald reagan and at george hw bush lost that first debate to both ross perot, am bill clinton, and in 2020, donald trump lost that first debate to joe biden. well, guess what else? and they

jackson and others don and brazil who really challenged the democratic party and really the way for barak obama and it's such an important point. >> i brought it up with the congressman. you cannot just throw around. well democrats used to be republican. there's a reason that a majority of black people don't vote with the republican party. and i think it's perfectly within the congressman's rights to want to change that. but you also have to be accurate about the history as well. peniel joseph. thank you very much for joining us tonight and sharing all of that with us. >> thank you for having me breaking news. >> donald trump has scored major legal wins tonight as 22 of his cases are now essentially paused. what this will mean for the election and that timeline coming up plus a democrat who competed against president biden for the white house will now respond to the controversial report that raises some questions about biden's mental fitness. tim ryan and we'll join me. and to cnn exclusive, the neighbor who got into that altercation with the alitos over flags, speaks out about those incidents.

wolf i know larry, you had a chance today to speak to a barak obama's half sister while she was protesting your earlier and the de tell us more about that and explain what's behind. >> give us a little bit more explanation what's behind these very, very dramatic protests? >> i want to show you this video when alma obama, barack obama is half since that was tear gas. well, we will live on cnn. she said she had come out to support the young people of kenya. we're fighting for their rights because look at what's happening young kenyans, what demonstrate you for that, right? get demonstrating with flags and banners. i can't even see anymore yeah. gosh we have the reason why elmo obama was out in the streets to support the young people of kenya is because of a controversial finance bill that's been proposed by the government of president william ruto. it's going through the motions in parliament. it's likely to pass because he's got a majority there. but many young people in kenya already frustrated by the high court cost of living. so they cannot afford even higher taxes. some of the most unpo

but it's not like joe biden or hillary clinton or barak obama is running around rural alabama and doing things that then could be a source of a crime. so i think this may be more heat than substance unless and until trump is re-elected, in which case he gains control of the us justice department. and then all bets are off from what you've learned in your reporting, what sort of revenge? >> and might be enacted if trump is re-elected to the white house, what would his justice department, a theoretically do well, what one of the things that we would be a repeat of a previous playbook is to investigate the investigators some of the people we quoted in an article are already calling for that. >> the note just as the trump administration and attorney general, bill barr created the special counsel, john durham investigation was spent four years trying to find a basis to bring criminal charges against high level obama administration officials as revenge for the russia investigation, but was unable to find enough, sufficient evidence to do so i think they want to go after anyone who had anythin

george w bush was a favorite in 2000 4 over john kerry, barak obama, a very heavy favorite over mitt romney going in that first debate in 2012, last time around trump was only the tiniest favorite at one point, but still a slight favorite this time around. however, look at this donald trump, the challenger is the favorite. this is extremely unusual. normally folks think the incumbents going to do pretty well, right? because they're the president, there's somebody that they're used to. they can see them being in the oval office. but the fact of the matter this particular cycle goes against that grain. and so maybe joe biden coming in this debate perhaps trailing a little bit, but no clear leader nationally not doing as well in the swing states as he was four years ago, the expectations game is on his side because the fact that is the expectations for him are so low, maybe he can't help but exceed them. >> these expectations are actually they're not working for trump, which is a look go through this, right george w bush, he did well, obama not great on his, let's say, back to 2012 on h

barak obama did that in 2014, trump signed an expanded version in 2018. and finally, trump's head biden got rid of that veterans program. biden has not done that thanks. >> as always to daniel dale for that. all right. still ahead. how much longer will boeing's starliner crew be waiting in space? what nasa is now saying? here are the cnn newsroom final episode of violent earth. they're definitely my lynch and unleash massive structure hurricane impacts, or worsening is it too late to undo decades of climate change? >> violent earth with we have schreiber maura would nine on cnn prompt date is july 16 and the 17th, what i'll lease deals could be more than making the stallion megan, thee up to be a member. >> you won't we start clicking to me. harlem is all. but home is also your body. last one, i ask myself, why does it pilates exist in harlem so i started my own studio get in a brick-and-mortar in new york is not easy. chase a inke as supported us from studio to studio three when you start small, you need some big help and chase ink with that for me earn

i ran because of barak obama because you did a poor job. he racist you just the worst, whereas america has ever had, we can't lock ourselves up in a basement like joe does. it's hard to get any word in with this clown okay. >> so in that case, perhaps you saw both candidates shooting themselves in the foot a few times. but now it's a whole new ballgame, a new debate stage, new rules, all that do you see these new rules as helping one candidate more than the other? >> i. think they give joe biden a slight edge number one, turning off the mix is going to be big because donald trump loves to be the bully, loves to be the strong man, loves to interrupt, set the tone, dominate it's kinda the wounded manliness that you tried to impose and so he won't be able to do much of that. the second thing is not having an audience is going to help joe biden because trump feeds off as your previous reporter noted, feeds off an audience gets excited by them, gets energized by them he feeds off of them and they won't be there. so if he's tells one of his snark

care act, 45 million people get health care because of that, joe biden, he was vice president to barak obama help to get that passed into law, led the way he's are going to be clear differences between the candidates that you're going to see on the cnn stage i want to ask you about some of the recent polling. >> recent polling shows it's not abortion rights actually it's inflation. the economy, and immigration that really tops americans concerns americans polled say, when you look at them it is trump not biden. that is better at dealing with these two issues. that is an aggregate of poles. you see the fox news quinnipiac in marquette poll, the same thing goes when it comes to immigration. how do you think biden can convince the public that he is the one? that can handle these two issues. we'll start with inflation, will start with the economy where people are feeling like they cannot afford what they used to be able to afford okay. >> first on polls, i've seen a number of polls showing a joe biden gaining strength right now. so let's put that aside because you have one poll after poll on the

i ran because of barak obama because you did a poor job. he racist you just the worst, whereas america has ever had hey, we can lock ourselves up in a basement like joe does. >> it's hard to get any word in with this clown hope tomorrow night, new rules will be in place. the candidates will stand at podiums just a few feet from each other. trump on the left, biden on the right there will be no audience in the studio as cnn's jake tapper and dana bash moderate the 90 minute debate and the candidates microphones will only be turned on when it is their turn to speak, meaning interruptions or answers beyond time limits that the candidates agreed to might not be heard. so that will be different from last time also different. >> the context, what's going on in the country you may recall that just days after that contentious first showdown in 2020, then president trump was helicopter to walter reed while definitely ill with covid. >> and that first debate also included this this moment that would come back to haunt the country when trump failed to

. >> ronald reagan and barak obama did quite poorly in their first debate and george w bush didn't do that us better. well, both donald trump and joe biden have been or are president. and some of the reasons why presidents are not especially good in their first debate is that they're used to people listening to them and they're not used to push back. so i think that particular advantage to the challenge juror is probably neutralized in this case which makes it unusual now, in the cases of reagan, obama and george w bush, they all did very well on their second debate. but in this case, the first debate is so important, particularly to president biden that i don't think he wants to take a chance on doing veteran a second debate. he wants to do well in his first debate. >> yeah, it is a strange season when it comes to debates. they don't really have that makeup necessarily jeff, i also wonder what you think about this breaking news affecting the debate. of course, this leaked supreme court abortion document that seems to be indicative of this decision on abortion, which is a key issue in
