i want to bring in brian stelter. brian, there was something about regis everyone related to, looked up to, loved to laugh with him about. what was it? what was that magic that he had that connected so many americans to him? >> you know, he was both a celebrity but the every man. he came across as someone who could relate to anybody and who could make anyone laugh and anyone smile. and it's that combination of abilities, both to be a star, to be someone who was out on the town, who was friends with lots of other celebs like david letterman who we just saw, but also be able to relate to the viewers at home. that is what made him so special for so many years. i was thinking "live with regis and kathie lee," regis left that program many years ago, but i still sometimes turn on the tv and think i'm going to see him on the show. he was that vital, that integral to the 9:00 a.m. hour. president trump said one of the greats in history has passed on to even greater air waves, the president calling regis a fantastic person and

here's brian stelter. >> it's long been considered out of bounds to question a person's patriotism. >> yes, and for good reason. but tucker carlson keeps doing it. prompting denunciations from democrats but cheers from his fans. this latest fox controversy stems from an interview on cnn with senator tammy duckworth last sunday. >> there are leaders, like george washington and thomas jefferson, who were slaveowners. and some people are demanding that their monuments come down, too. so, in your view, where does it end? should statues, for example, of george washington come down? >> well, let me just say that we should start off by having a national dialogue on it, at some point. >> then, she pivoted and said america has much bigger issues right now, like coronavirus. but carlson decided to pounce. >> can you really lead a country that you hate? >> duckworth, evidently stunned by the smear, tweeted a reference to her service in iraq, where she lost both of her legs. does tucker carlson, she said, want to walk a mile in my legs? and then, tell me whether or not i love america? that was on

cnn's chief media correspondent brian stelter is here with more. brian, this is big news.t do you know? >> that's right. robert trump, who is the president's younger brother, had been suing mary trump in court trying to block this book. he won a very early ruling last week. tonight an appellate judge overturned that ruling and said that this does not seem like a situation where there should be prior restraint. prior restraint is an un-american concept where you stop something from being published before it's even released. so now simon and schuster, the book's publisher, is free to publish this book on july 28th as it plans. that's about four weeks from today. this book is already the number one best-seller in the country. >> wow. >> because there is so much interest in what mary trump might say about her uncle, the president. this book -- this lawsuit, though, laura, might go forward. in other ways. there is still some question about mary trump and whether she signed a confidentiality agreement. whether she's breaking that confidentiality agreement. but the news tonight i

and a senior writer and analyst for cnn politics and brian stelter chief anchor of "reliable sources." harry, start with you. how far behind is president trump right now in polls? >> hello, ana. look, two polls came out this week. two national polls from the pew research center monmouth university. both had him down double digits and both polls had joe biden over 50% and this is something we've seen across the national polls. not just one or two. pretty much all national polls have joe biden up around ten points and seen that in the swing state polling as well with significant leads for the former vice president in states that matter, michigan,ing west virginia and pennsylvania. >> and going into the election, how do you think americans think he's handling this crisis? >> poorly. i mean, something we have seen going on and on and on. the president's approval rating on the coronavirus headed southward and more than that if you look at polls that matches up biden versus trump on who do you trust more on the coronavirus, what we see there is that joe biden is more trusted by about 10 per

i want to bring in cnn chief media correspondent brian stelter and cnn contributor nischelle turner. nischelle, let's start with you. philbin's career spanned six decades. tell us about this true tv legend. we throw that title out so often. his is a real-life example. >> oh, yeah, he urned that moniker. e earned that moniker. before he was ever famous for "live with regis and kathie lee" and "live with regis and kelly" he started out in the 50s. but his career started taking another turn where he went from the side kick to the front man. and before he was ever national, he did a morning show out here in los angeles called "am los angeles." he same time he did that, he would commute every weekend to st. louis and did a saturday night nighttime show in st. louis every week. people like to call him the hardest working man in show business. i think he earned that. he is a legend in so many ways. one of the ways you can really mark how good someone is on television. you think about everyone who sat next to him. it always felt familiar. it always felt like a good time. it always felt like

now let me bring in brian stelter.ed up. >> that's why the copies are being looked out. this book is essentially an anti-trump campaign book, kate, from my initial read of it. joe biden couldn't have written a more effective book against the president of the united states, but you say that, you know. i say that. i say it's like an anti-trump campaign book but it's coming from inside the family. there's never been anything like this in modern political history to have the niece of a president write a scathing tell-all. let me read a couple of parts that stand out to me from the very end of the book talking about the president's cruelty. saying the cruelty is the point which is a quote from "the atlantic" writer adam sze erwar. it's meant to distract the rest of us from himself. and she said we must dispense with the idea of donald being a strategically person, understanding media and politics. he doesn't have a strategy, mary says. he never has. she said it was a fluke he won the election. she says she never thought he
