because donald trump believes, kristen -- let me finish this point, kristen and feel free to follow up. donald trump is the only person who brought springfield to national attention and is the only president who is going to fight for the residents and not just the right to live safely in their communities, but for the right to complain about what's going on in their own community. i think it's disgraceful that kamala harris has heard these complaints and has decided to call people racist instead of actually trying to make their lives better by undoing her open border, but i know you had a question. >> again, because we're almost out of time. haitian immigrants are saying they're afraid for their lives. i want to shift for another topic. i've been talking to allies of former president trump who are outraged and alarmed that donald trump has been traveling with laura lumer.he supports white nationalism. she spreads conspiracy theeres and including the september attacks are an inside job. she recently said that kamala harris whose mother was indian, if she wins in november, quote, the whi

let's begin though with cnn's kristen holmes kristen, tell us the latest what you're hearing right now. >> right, jessica. so what we're told us this afternoon when donald trump was on the golf course at west palm beach, that it's trump international golf course. he was in-between holes when shots were fired we are told by sources that secret service fired shots. and as you noted, a person has now been detained. there was a long rifle, an ar and ak style rifle that was recovered with that person in the car after they were detained. it is still unclear what exactly a motive was, but officials have told me as well as our colleague john miller that they believe that donald trump was the intended target. again, this would have been a suspect who was armed, essentially waiting for donald trump at a golf course in west palm beach. he was on lockdown the entire course went into lockdown. it is unclear where trump is at the moment. at that locked has been lifted. if he has moved back to his mar-a-lago resort or if he is still waiting currently at the golf course right now, we are not intending

good afternoon, i'm kristen z. right now, there are three massive wildfires burning across four counties. this is one of the largest, the so-called bridge fire burning in los angeles and san bernardino counties. it scorched nearly 80mi■!s since it sparked on sun, torching dozens of homes and forcing thousands to evacuate. abc news reporter melissa don has a look at the impact. >> reporter a state of emergency for several southern california counties after three major wildfires burned more than 100,000 acres across four counties in the mountains of los angeles and san bernardino counties. the bridge fire has scorched more than 50,000 acres, the largest active wildfire in california. >> it was pretty scary a lot. it's a lot more surreal than you can realize, when you're outside looking at the flames, you don't realize how scary and how chaotic it is. >> more than 30 homes were destroyed by the bridge fire, including this one. you can see what was their kitchen and oven. some cabinets there incinerated. in riverside c

this is what i believe, kristen. we live in a nation today that has more income wealth inequality than has ever existed in the history of the united states. people in the 60% of americans are living paycheck to paycheck. the gap between the rich and the poor are growing wider. what i believe is we have to take on the greed of the billionaire class and say, yes, you know what, guys? we have 600,000 people sleeping out on the streets when people can't afford to send their kids to college. you know what? you are going to start paying your fair share of taxes. so i think dealing with the massive level of income and wealth inequality to the progressive tax system is exactly what we've got to do. >> do you believe she should go up or boost that number? double 28% is enough, or should she come up with -- should she boost this number? >> i would go higher than that. look, when you've got three people on top earning more wealth than the bottom half of american society and where billionaires pay an effective tax rate lower tha

kristen >> sandhya. thank you. the mayor of antioch has proposed a new idea as the city looks to tackle the homelessness crisis. mayor lamar hernandez thorpe wants to update antioch's no camping ordinance that was passed in 1996. it mandates that no one can camp in a tent or car, but currently applies only to city parks and recreational facilities. the mayor wants to expand that to include public waterways, trails and plazas that will give city service providers more clearance to offer help to people living in dangerous encampments. >> antioch is not going to be a dump site for the bay area's problems, so i would encourage other cities to do take the same actions that we have taken with the hotel and other services that we have. >> antioch has requested more funding from the state to increase motel capacity for its transitional housing programs in the south bay. more than 100,000 unhoused people near san jose. mineta international airport were told to leave this morning. the encampment is located at columbus park,

it was successful kristen, let's go to you. this is very significant yeah, boeing has got to be breathing a big sigh of relief. nasa to, i mean, you still got to get the recovery crews on the ground to make sure everything looks okay. but i think it's almost safe to say, you know, if butch and sunny had been inside starliner on this return to earth? they almost certainly would've been okay, but nasa is saying with all those issues with the thrusters in the helium leaks it just was not a risk that they were willing to take when they had a backup vehicle ready to go but so now the big question is going to be, does starliner need another crewed test flight? or perhaps another uncrewed test flight, before it can be certified and be fully functioning. part of nasa's commercial crew program. you've got boeing and spacex who were doled out these contracts in 2014 to ferry nasa astronauts to and from the international space station. so far only spacex this has been able to do it. so what happens now? because this landing and re-entry a

kristen holmes reporting for us. kristen, thank you very much. aaron back to you. >> all right. wolf and everyone's here with me now. kristen, listening to kristen holmes talking about what's at stake here and how what trump they want, what trump's team wants him to do on the harris side, you say that she actually needs to focus on trump voters and a very, very specific small segment of trump voters. if she were to target who she needs to win over, who are they? >> that's right. so when you look at donald trump's voters, most of them, almost all of them liked donald trump. and if you're somebody out there who likes donald trump, you're voting for him, period. but there is about 7% of donald trump's vote that says, i don't like the guy. i know feel favorably toward him, but they like his policies for them kamala harris needs to come out tonight and give them an excuse to say, you know what, maybe i don't have to vote for the guy i don't like. but in order to do that, she has to make a very strong and persuasive case, not just that she is more moderate than 2019. kamala harris on

good afternoon, i'm kristen z. let's begin with the accuweather forecast. if you've been outside, you're feeling it. a big jump in our temperatures. abc seven weather anchor spencer christian says this is the first day of three days of sizzling bay area summer heat. he has some important information for us about this heat advisory. >> okay, kristen, we'll start with a look at the satellite radar composite image showing that low pressure system, which had brought us relatively cool weather the last couple of days, and an onshore breeze that's gone now up into the pacific northwest. high pressure is building in, and that's going to bring us a heat wave over the next few days. look at how calm the winds are right now. under ten miles per hour. so there's no cooling breeze near the coastline and temperatures are rising. 24 hour temperature change as of noon showed inland areas 10 to 15 degrees warmer than they were at this time yesterday. and that heat is only building as we get into the late afternoon hours. so these are the forecast headlines today through th

kristen. unfortunately, one of the issues and i write about this in what the fact is that such little transparency for us about the process. so we're trying to reverse engineer and figure out why is the new google ai results telling people to go eat rocks or ai? you can also look up for a healthy pizza recipe and sometimes it gives you a result that includes a pizza recipe with glue in the ingredients. so again, it's pulling from all over the place. it's not always telling you exactly where that information is coming from. and while that can be silly or funny in some instances, i don't know. say you want party ideas for a kid's birthday. sometimes people are searching life or death things on google and it's very concerning to me working in healthcare, researching misinformation and disinformation, that people are searching things and they're coming up with junk science, that they might fall for because it appears legitimate. >> can i just ask you how the potential for misinformation changes or

i want to go to kristen holmes, who's obviously in contact constantly with your sources, kristen, in the trump campaign. what are you hearing so far from them as they are reacting? to the shock of what has happened here, will earn, there is still obviously a lot of questions now when it comes to security they have noticed they have talked about consistently the upgraded security they have seen since the rally in butler, pennsylvania. that means more secret service agents with him at almost all times we know that in that situation when he was on the golf course, he had at least two sets of secret service agents with him. the first one was ahead of him by number of holes. those are the secret service agents who spotted the suspect in the bushes, spotted a rifle and engaged with him. we know that he also had a number of secret service agents with him back on the course, right? as you said, between holes five and six, who whisked him off into security. he was golfing with megadonor and allies, steve witkoff when they were rushed back to the actual golf course dario to the golf lounge whe

kristen: i don't think anybody ever expects to hear that their child has cancer. it's always one of those things that happens to somebody else, but it's definitely feels like your soul is sucked out of your body when they tell you that it's your baby. and you would do anything to get them to the best place that they can be for their treatment. and i knew with everything in my soul that that was saint jude and that we had to get here. announcer: join the battle to save lives during childhood cancer awareness month by supporting saint jude children's research hospital. please call or go online right now and become a saint jude partner in hope for only $19 a month. hunter: my name is hunter. i'm at saint jude because i had osteosarcoma. osteosarcoma is a special cancer that's in the bone. so they had to amputate my leg.

kristen welker is the moderator of "meet the press." kristen, good morning. great to see you as always. there is always doubt about how much a debate matters in a presidential election. i think that changed in june in the debate that turned everything on its head. of course, president biden stepping aside. this will be the first time we see vice president harris and former president trump on a stage together. what should we expect? >> willie, it's also going to be the first time that these two candidates meet each other in person. this is a pivotal moment in this campaign, willie, for all of the reasons that you lay out, because this race is tight as a tick. a new "new york times" poll showing former president donald trump is leading by one point, of course, within the margin of error. this is anyone's race. in terms of what each candidate needs to do, for her part, vice president kamala harris is still in the process of reintroducing herself to the american public. she has had very few unscripted events. so this will be the biggest one to date, so she will h

i'm kristen sze. thanks for joining us. the judge says he will issue a written ruling in three weeks on whether to dismiss those manslaughter charges against the officers. the trio were involved in the death of 26 year old mario gonzalez three years ago, as they pinned him to the ground. the officer, his attorneys, argued this morning that the da's office didn't file all the necessary paperwork in time to meet the three year statute of limitations. prosecutors say they did meet the necessary requirements. it's not clear how the judge will rule. meanwhile, outside of court, gonzalez's family and other community members gathered to protest bogus. >> a sham investigation cleared these cops. it's only because the people demanded that a new da be elected, that we even have a shot at justice gonzalez died while being taken into custody in april 2021. >> he lost consciousness while those alameda officers had pinned him to the ground. reviews by the previous da. the sheriff's office and the city of alameda all found the officers we

>> kristen, i think the word discipline is the one we should focus on now. and the change is drastic, but is it that surprising? donald trump's campaign has been surrounded by so many distractions and this one in north carolina is the current one. we hear surrogates pleading with him to focus on the issues, on the economy and immigration. he has forfeited his lead on the issues and not to take away from vice president harris, she has run a very disciplined campaign, but donald trump has done the opposite. this controversy in north carolina they can still win north carolina, that i might, but they'll have to spend limited resources there and that gives another advantage to harris. >> a reminder, as we talk about north carolina this is one that joe biden won by 3%. about mark robinson, this wasn't just predictable and it was predictive. they asked two questions, have we seen everything? remember madison hawthorne? this thing took not just days and weeks. this could marinate and we could be dealing with this for a while now and how will this impact donald trump
