>> and be ready for monday, sign up for free visit otter.ai, ai or download the app. dr. sanjay >> gupta. >> and this is cnn hi everyone. >> welcome to the cnn newsroom. i'm alice and camerota tonight. >> the >> biden campaign is calling out donald trump for quote inciting political violence after he shared a video on social media that shows president biden tied up like a hostage in the back of a pickup truck. >> cnn's >> steve contorno joins us now with more steve >> awesome, former president donald trump once again facing accusations that he has encouraging violence against a political opponents. this time for a social media post involving president joe joe biden. we're only going to show you a clip of this briefly, but take a look at this video captured on thursday in long island. it shows two trucks decked out in trump flags and decals. and on the
4:02 pm
second truck, there's this image of president joe biden hogtied on the back of the truck trump posted that video to his social media site truth social on friday. on saturday, his campaign defended it, telling cnn in a statement quotes that picture was on the back of a pickup truck that was traveling down the highway democrats and crazed lunatics have not only called for despicable violence against president trump his family, they are actually weaponizing the justice system against him. the biden campaign meanwhile, wasted little time responding to this. they told cnn in a statement, quotes this image from donald trump is the type of crap you post when you're calling for a bloodbath or when you tell the proud boys to stand back and standby, trump is regularly inciting political violence and it's time people take him seriously just ask the capital police officers who were attacked, protecting our democracy on january 6. now, allison, these are images that we are used to seeing from
4:03 pm
trump's supporters at his rallies. certainly online. and yes, sometimes even on vehicles but it is striking to see the former president and someone who aspires to be president once again, amplifying these kind of images. of course that has become common place for trump going back to his 2016 campaign and through this week allison, when he attacked the judge who is overseeing one of his new york cases yeah, steve contorno, thank you for that. >> joining >> me now is cnn senior political analyst and senior editor at the atlantic. ron brownstein and defense attorney and former federal prosecutor shan wu. >> shan >> posting a violent image of a sitting president is, that legal answer is it depends. >> but what >> would normally happen if any regular person like me, are you posted that is we would get a visit probably from the secret service. the visit itself isn't bringing charges, not an arrest, but they need to do with threat assessment. and
4:04 pm
certainly the people who created the image and those displaying it are deserving of such a visit. now, the biden administration's response, i thought ron has picked this very political response. of course, they can't tell doj or law enforcement to do something because they want to up your hands off. but really doj should make an inquiry. they should make sure that these things as are being checked out. and frankly, they could talk to the former president's campaign and say, hey, this kind of thing is very dangerous, doesn't mean they're investigating him, are bringing charges but that's a proper thing for them to do to keep the peace. >> ron, why isn't the secret service paying a visit to donald trump's house? >> yeah. we can i mean, if it was your me they would be and certainly they are hesitant. and as we have seen, many institutions in american life are hesitant about fully grappling with something we have not faced in our political history, which was the leader of one of art undisputed leader of one of our two parties
4:05 pm
regularly. routinely and it seemingly as part of his strategy encouraging political violence when he says he's going to pardon the january 6 rioters and he calls them patriots and hostages. he is sending a very clear signal when he tweets what he is about for various judges and lung what's involved in his cases, he is sending a very clear signal and as we know from january 6, this does not all just dissipate into the air. there are people who will hear this in a very specific way. and i think alyson, all of this is a reminder to voters that there is a lot that comes with donald trump. i mean, at this point in the campaign, there are a lot of voters who are kind of looking at him and his presidency and saying things didn't cost as much when he was president. but this is a reminder that that is not all you get. if you get even if you do get that at all, with trump, you also get a routinization of threats of violence that we have not seen before in
4:06 pm
american history in which no institution i think is grappling with fully >> shan one of the judges involved in one of his criminal cases in new york judge merchan issued a gag order against president trump this week, not to threaten jurors or our witnesses. >> do you think that's working >> not at the moment, but the latest threats all use that term that trump has done is actually very carefully designed to avoid the language of the gag order because it's talking about members of the judges family, and that gag order like others before, have actually accepted the judge themselves or the main prosecutors. i think frankly that's a mistake, somewhat echoing what drawings saying it's a failure of the institutions in this case, the judiciary to really grapple with what's happening with this kind of platform that trump can use to harass and impugn the integrity of the system, but
4:07 pm
just so i understand, the gag order is they cannot threaten the jurors or the witnesses, but he can threaten judges. i mean, that in other words, that there's a loophole in that there is a loophole. i think i'm using the term threatened a little bit too loosely if he actually threatened the judge, like i'm going to hurt them or something that would not be encompassed. but saying disparaging things about the judge, about alvin bragg, jack smith in this case, the judges adult daughter that is a loophole in the gag order right now, and it's sounds like the district attorney, alvin bragg's office has started the process to maybe ask the judge to expand that. the judge being a judge, it's probably unlikely to take that on himself to expand it. so it really is up to the prosecution to ask for that change. >> ron, your thoughts >> yeah. well, as i said, i mean, i don't think there's really any institution from the media to the legal system, to the executive branch that really has been able to wrap its arms around what we are,
4:08 pm
what we are now facing. i mean, donald trump is the dominant figure in the republican party. there are a lot of people who support him for a lot of reasons, including legitimate policy, disagreements with the current administration. but part of the package that he has presented throughout his political career, going back to 2016 when he when he offered to pay the legal fees of people who beat up demonstrators at his rallies. if you remember, is that he brings a threat of political violence into the day-to-day life of american politics in a way that we have not seen probably since the run-up to the civil war i remember one of the experts on domestic terrorism saying to me toward the end trump's presidency that we could be heading toward a period like the troubles in ireland, not at the same level of violence, but where there are threats routinely. i mean, it's not just january 6. i mean, there was kidnapped plot on gretchen whitmer. what we saw during the
4:09 pm
covid pandemic with public health officials in school board meetings. there is a with a violence that has now been introduced into our politics in a way that simply was not there before, maybe in the jim crow south to defend segregation. but on a nationwide basis, we have not seen anything like this. and no one no one is responding fully to the magnitude of what we are seeing i'm sure it speaking of that, a sitting federal judge sat down with our kaitlan collins because he was so moved to talk about >> how this is basically an attack on the rule of law. so let me play you if we have it, that clip i think it's important that as judges, we speak out and, say things in reference to things that >> conceivably are going to impact on the process. because if we don't have a viable court system, that's able to function efficiently, then we have tyranny. and i don't think that would be good for the future of our country and the
4:10 pm
future of democracy in our country >> what about a judge, a sitting judge going about length >> well, i applaud what judge walton says. i've been before him many times, both when he was in superior court and in federal court. i think the key distinction here is he's not commenting on the merits of the case, saying that the defendant is guilty or not guilty, he's really talking about the threat to the institution that's happening by allowing this type of escalation of harassment of impugning the integrity of the court's it's one thing to come out to the courtroom steps and say, i disagree. i still think i'm innocent. i think the judgment about ruling, it's another to say that the judge is corrupt to call them names like thugs. and i think judge walton is very properly pointing out that is a big problem for the way that our institutions function. and i applaud them for speaking out that way. >> ron, let's move on and talk about politics and all the numbers even crunching the
4:11 pm
different demographics and how they'll affect the election. so you wrote a piece this week for cnn that talks about the huge role that the hispanic and black vote could play. so tell us more yeah. yeah >> you know, for good reason there has been a lot of attention to the polling this spring showing trump not only winning more support among black and hispanic voters, then he did in 2020, but more allison than any republican presidential nominee since the civil rights era. i mean, he's running consistently impulse around 20 20 to 25% nationally among black voters 45% or so among hispanic voters, george w bush didn't do that. ronald reagan didn't do that. but for all of the deserve attention that is getting the other side of the racial ledger has largely been ignored, which is that joe biden in the same polls is somewhat surprisingly running as well bell or maybe even a little better than he did in 2020 among white voters, despite all of the headwinds, he's facing. and if biden can
4:12 pm
do that in hold that support that he now has where he is at or a burden 2020 number with whites. it kind of turns around, it flips the main question in this election. i think the decisive question can becomes, can trump continue all the way through november to maintain the elevated historic level of support. he's posting now among black and hispanic voters, given everything else that he is talking about, mass deportation, internment camps, unilateral military action against mexico, pardoning the white supremacists who attack the capitol on january 6. he at this moment is getting the best of both worlds. he is energizing his social conservative base with some very polarizing ideas about race and policies, and also winning and unprecedented number of non-white voters on other issues, primarily the economy and the question of whether he can stay on that time i wrote all the way to november could be decisive if biden stays where he is now among white voters. >> thanks for explaining all of that. ron brownstein, shan wu,
4:13 pm

4:27 pm
hostage talks that are picking up again, we know that an israeli delegation is on its way to birth, qatar and cairo to continue those indirect conversations with hamas to, see how close they can get to negotiating the release of the remaining more than 130 israeli hostages in exchange for some 700 palestinian prisoners. we understand those talks could start as early as sunday in cairo. meanwhile, in tel aviv huge emotion as family members of the hostages gathered with many thousands of people very angry scenes that spoke really to the frustration and the fear here in israel that these hostages may not come home at all more than 130 of them still there when we're coming up. as i said, to the sixth month mark of their captivity in just two weeks time, allison moos. >> thank you. >> the >> family of an idf soldier, 19 year-old, each i can only recently learned that he was killed on october 7 during the

4:29 pm
an opinion that might be a bit different than the government when it comes to the pace then negotiation and the gap that still exists but i'm also look at the people in gaza that they should go to that elected officials hamas, which is similar to isis and tell them we demand that will be a ceasefire. and the way they get to a ceasefire is the lease of all of the hostages. and hamas have been so difficult in just time to talk to them and have been so stumbling and then negotiations. this has been going on for six months and i'm looking at the humanitarian crisis in gaza, which i feel four as well. and look at the people then and ask them and urged them guilty light officials go to hamas question them to get to a deal.
4:30 pm
similar to what we are doing to the israeli government yeah i we will get to hamas in a second, but first i just wanted to ask you a little bit more about that meeting that you had with the prime minister, did you >> confront netanyahu directly? and what did you say to him? what did he say to you? >> the prime minister has had the same strategy for the last five months with the same components about hush on hamas and looking at it all fell office that the main item on the agenda, in my opinion again, the way the event isabel going until offer is something that israel has been very consistent on, which is saying that the ceasefire, will not happen until all the hostages come out and there's a need to put more pressure on hamas to get them to the negotiation table. so that will continue
4:31 pm
