i want to bring in mj lee and jessica dean.president biden's speech here? >> pam, we are just learning about some of the details about this prime-time address the president will deliver in philadelphia. a white house official telling reporters he will speak about how the core values in this nation, our standing in the world, our democracy are at stake. and if you were paying attention to the president's speech late last week, you probably got a pretty good preview of some of the ideas he's going to talk about. we heard him describing the republican party as antidemocratic, as extremist, and standing for these unacceptable policies. this is the day when the president, you might remember, said that some republicans had engaged in semifachism. he also said that getting president -- former president -- trump out of the white house in 2020 amounted to saving the country's democracy. the white house is saying thursday's speech is going to be about the battle for the soul of the nation, noting here that that was a main theme of the pr

i want to go to mj lee, our white house correspondent. the united states, i understand, fairly soon is going to address the nation on this, right? >> reporter: that is right, wolf. and you get a sense of obviously what a significant mission this was. given the fact that we've just learned that the president is going to be delivering remarks to the nation in just about two and a half hours. sorry an hour and a half, actually around 7:30 in the evening. this had not been on the white house schedule. we only just learned about this and we should be getting more details as officials prepare to talk to reporters and brief them on some of the details behind this operation that we really didn't know about until just moments ago. there are of course questions that will be raised to senior u.s. officials about how this operation was conducted, how they were able to secure the location of the target and when the senior administration officials said in a statement earlier that the operation was successful, and that there were no civilian casualties,

. >> like you said, the precision with which it was done was so stunning, and that brings us to mj lee at the white house. mj, president biden reportedly made it a top priority to avoid civilian casualties, but how did he ensure that? >> reporter: well, what we know is that this final order from the president to conduct the strike that eventually killed zawahiri came after months of very top secret meetings and meticulous deliberations. what we know now is that the president was first informed back in april that, according to his intelligence officials, they believed that they had located him at this house in kabul, and in the months that followed, he was kept abreast as intelligence officials gathered information about his whereabouts and his daily life patterns, including the fact that at times, he would go out into the balcony of this house. now, this photo that the white house released earlier today of a meeting that took place on july 1st, if you take a look at the middle of that table, there's this box briefcase-like thing that's sitting there, and we are told by officials, earli

mj lee joins us from the white house. what does the administration say about the outcome in kansas for abortion rights nationally? >> there's no question that the white house is celebrating this news overnight from kansas, basically saying this isn't just about the state of kansas, but there is a bigger message about the rest of the country. president biden saying in a statement, in part, this vote makes clear what we know. the majority of americans agree that women should have access to abortion and should have the right to make their own health care decisions. now, this, of course, comes as the white house continues to deal with the fallout from the supreme court overruling roe v wade. in just a moment, we are going to see the president virtually address this issue executive order that he had issued. this is the second time he has done so since that historic decision. let me take you through some of the top headlines. he is directing the hhs to consider actions that would support women who now need to travel out of stat

cnn mj has the latest. the white house is starting to offer more details on how much the student loan forgiveness program is going to cost? according to the early estimate, that comes out to around $24 billion a year. which is less than some other estimates that we have seen, including an updated and wharton estimate which said that it could cost upwards of $1 trillion over 10 years. when we asked the white house about the discrepancy about the two estimates, they said they are certain this is not in the ballpark of how much their plan is going to cost. that is in part because their model is based on 75% of eligible borrowers taking advantage of their new program. the white house also said that they are obviously wanting as medical as possible to take advantage of this program, but the president himself sang, even if a fraction of people who are eligible to have the loans forgiven as a part of this program, he would be happy with the outcome. cnn, the white house. >>> there's been no shortage of extreme wea

mj lee is live at the white house. the number is a lot lower than some other estimates. said, starting to see the white house offer more details on the big question of how much exactly is this plan going to cost? and as you said, the white house is saying that according to their early estimate, that cost is going to be around $24 billion a year. that is less than some other estimates we've seen including from penn wharton. their estimate was it could cost upwards of $10 trillion. them look, we are certain that $1 trillion is not the ball park that they are looking at. and them a part of reason is that the mod that he will they use took into account a scenario where just 75% of eligible borrowers would take advantage of this program. they said that they decided to go with the number because a similar education program, that's the percentage of people they saw participating in that program as well. the white house is making clear that they would like to see as many people as possible participating in this loan forgiveness program. tell president saying just this afternoon

now, our colleagues mj lee and phil mattingly, they're reporting that the white house is leaning towards per borrower. that is for borrowers who make less than $125,000 a year. there has been push back here. one, because it would be expensive, right, there's some estimates that such a plan could cost $250 billion, and that would eat into much of the deficit reduction from the just p passed inflation reduction act. this could potentially be inflation. there's debate over how much it would add to inflation. larry summers came out strongly on this. he said student debt relief is spending that raises demand and increases inflation. it consumes resources that could be better consumed to attend college. he points out it could be inflationary by raising tuition. that brings up a good point. none of this gets to the underlying problem which is that college is just really expensive. if you have a kid now, you pretty much have to start saving for college as soon as they're born, if you're fortunate enough to be able to put that many aside. that is something that doesn't get at this plan. >> it's h
