fallout from the israeli airstrike that killed of afghanistan amid the us withdrawal? no time to prepare, no emergency plan in place and no safe place to go and a judge rejecting donald trump's last-ditch effort to delay his hush money trial an unprecedented moment, lins looms over the campaign trail all right, >> 6:00 a.m. here in washington and also in new york, the statue of liberty shining, bright this morning. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. and just hours because the white house says president biden will quote, express his frustrations to israeli prime minister benjamin

netanyahu. the phone call will mark the first time that two liters have spoken since these seven world central kitchen aid workers were killed by an israeli airstrike in gaza a senior administration official says, biden is increasingly frustrated and angry, but the white house also emphasizing that there's been no shift in us policy supporting israel's military operation >> no consequences thus far for any types of behavior that the president has been outraged. we've had we're having conversations with the israeli government. we've been very clear about that. those conversations have been tough. we've been very public about those conversations on this particular instant. there will be an investigation, there's an investigation currently happening. the president has said he wants it to be swift. he wants it to be comprehensive and he wants to their to see accountability all right our panel is here, david from a staff writer for the atlantic cnn political commentator, former deputy chief of staff, brought under trump's sure michael singleton >> is here and cnn political commentator kate bedingfield.

she of course is former communications director for the biden white house. good morning. all. >> kate, it maybe a little easier to be at this table today. then communicating at the white house oh question on this issue. a couple of things one, there's new reporting in the new york times that joe biden is pressing her husband to end the conflict in gaza you can see there they're headline here, and then this also stuck out to me. i woke up to this tweet, from late yesterday. this is from john fabra, who of course was speech writer in the obama white house >> he says the >> president doesn't get credit for being privately enraged while he's still refuses to use leverage to stop the idf from killing and starving innocent people. these stories only make him look weak. i can imagine that's being perceived terribly well among biden colleagues. it's a little bit of a shot across the bow. yeah. what do you see in this? >> well i mean, look, this is a protracted, incredibly difficult situation. i think it

is complicated obviously the catastrophe with the wck aid workers, i think has further inflamed people's passions and anger understandably for president biden, i think he needs to continue to lean into showing personal outrage when you saw the statement that they put out yesterday, the language was a lot more intense, i think than biden as language has been around this in terms of his own personal outrage, he does need to continue to show it, but look, this is an incredibly complicated and challenging situation and adjusting american weapons assistance to israel has significant consequences throughout the region. i mean, israel is our ally and a signaling to those in the region who are not our allies, that it's open season is a dangerous thing. it's complicated. so no question tensions are high emotions are high. they should be what we witnessed, what we have been witnessing is horrific. it is

complicated but i think for biden ultimately is he going to have to have to be some policy adjustment here? i suspect that there probably is, but i think that that has to happen in the larger context of what that is going to mean for the united states. what that's going to mean for the region and even though it's hard in the moment, i don't think that can happen purely as an emotional reaction even to an incredibly horrific thing like we saw earlier this week. >> yeah >> david from let me show you a little bit of what jose andres spoke to the media yesterday. he had had a phone call with biden on tuesday, and of course, he's talking very personal terms about these seven people who were killed. and one instance saying he wishes he hadn't even founded world central kitchen because if he hadn't, then this person that he cared so much about, what still be here today. i'm here. he was getting emotional in an interview yesterday >> but defending you people is, no killing everybody else around i've been in myself i

meant and some of the people that die, we're well my friend and i said we'd me is the nicest thing you will ever. this was a good soul it's just really hard, hard to watch. and i think it's part of what has crystallized this as just potentially a major turning point. >> well, chef jose andres's a noble and compassionate man world central kitchen does amazing work and people are looking for charity to support that does work all over the world world. you can't do better than world central kitchen israel faces anatomy that uses ambulances to move terrace many of the people kidnapped on october 7 to have emerged have reported being transported in ambulances. israeli faces an enemy that has recruited international organizations is as allies in all but name at least a dozen un employees were actively involved often the october 7 attack, hundreds are complicit

thousands of families in gaza that are terrorists, families that are have a paris's a breadwinner. are employed by the united nations >> israel >> faces a problem where how the enemy also has obligations to laws of war. it has obligations not to use hospitals as as headquarters, but it does, it has obligations not to use ambulances to move its troops or to move kidnap people. but it does. so in this very treacherous environment against this unscrupulous enemy people are trying to prevent friendly fire incidents to protect israel's own, trump's is always going to make mistakes from time to time. and this one it looks like an absolutely heroin one. it's really important for people as they consume the news fast to remember how many of the stories we've heard since october 7 have turned out to be very different from what you first hear. you hear that israel bombed hospital and that hundreds or down. well then it turns out it was a hamas rocket that fell on the hospital and not hundreds, but dozens or dead. you hear stories that the un denies any of its employees were working for hamas. well,

maybe one or two. okay. maybe a dozen. maybe hundreds, maybe thousands of families. >> so >> this is a harrowing situation. it's a terrible war and the achieves nothing. and the only way out is for hamas to be defeated and to go away. and if hamas had never done this thing on october 7 and all the people palestinian, israeli, and the arrow workers for world central kitchen, they would all be sure michael, one aspect of this, of course, is the us's ability to influence benjamin netanyahu, who has honestly at played in us politics at somewhat argue he's waiting for potentially donald trump get re-elected >> what does >> the waning influence that the us has seems to have right now, i am going to hang this on david sanger who said said this yesterday on our show. that the us government seems to have less impact right now in terms of getting netanyahu to do what they want, then they did at the beginning of the conflict how does. that going to impact what happens next here? >> i think it's substantial as

most americans want to continue to support israel. i think there should be substantial pressure on hamas to release the hostages were not here at enough of that from the administration, in my opinion working behind the scenes they were hearing and seeing reports about the present i'm been frustrated about the first lady been frustrated. i completely understand that. i think most americans want to preserve the life of innocent palestinians. we should want that, but we should also desire complete defeat of hamas, which wants to annihilation of the jewish state, which is why benjamin netanyahu is relentless and wanting to destroy them. i would love to see a president biden behind the scenes also showcasing frustration about that we're not seeing it. i have jewish friends, many of them in this country that have reached out to minimise it i'm afraid. i'm afraid of my kids on college campuses. i'm afraid when i'm going out in public, if someone may attack me because of my faith, i would love to see the president speak get out fort right about that as well, and he's not doing it. so in terms of the politics, if

he can create a brief word on that, yeah, i don't i don't know. i don't know if that's fair. i think the president has been very direct about the rise of anti-semitism remember, this was actually a motivating reason for him to run in 2019 was what we saw in charlottesville and he speaks about the dangers of rising anti-semitism all the time he also, i think has been incredibly aggressive in trying to pursue an into this conflict that brings the hostages home, and that degrades hamas. i mean, that is in part why he's facing some of this political backlash because the either easier thing to do would be to say no, we're not going to keep doing the hard work behind closed doors. that's required in a situation like this we're going to put forward a strategy that's entirely intended to be public and that's would be easier from a press perspective, from a communications perspective but at the end of the day, that would not get to the ultimate outcome that the president wants. that. i think everybody wants to see hamas defeated, to see the hostages released and

to put in place a post-conflict plan that provides some path forward in the region. what is so quick last one, what is the plan? there appears to be a capitulation from the president. we saw what happened in michigan. we saw with just recently happened and wisconsin i think is more concerned about the electoral packed in what's really going on. an app part of the world when you have people on the left who are publicly criticizing the president for not doing enough to distance himself from israel. i'm not sure that i'm not sure that was a part of that job and i don't president satellites posture into that left one space. i don't think he >> just say that we are in this moment where the president is saying one thing about his personal feelings. but he still has a policy that is supporting israel to the hill. that is something that is what progressives are focused on here. all right, up next, a judge blocks donald trump's hail mary already attempts to delay his hush money trial. >> what happens next? plus the

kylie, good morning. some great reporting. walk us through what you learned. >> yeah. so what we learned is that these state department officials were thrust into the situation of the afghanistan withdrawal into very high roles on the round. in a dramatic way. this wasn't just dramatic on the ground. we all saw those afghan trying to get out those americans who are trying to get out, but also the officials themselves really didn't know some of them hours before they were leaving washington, dc, that they were heading into afghanistan to be part of this evacuation effort. they had incredibly important roles and they talk about the situation on the ground according to one of those state department officials, changing minute by minute, they also talk about the fact that they weren't really following any actual plan here. there was a neo that was created that's a non evacuation, noncombat and evacuation plan officials but that was created in april or may, but they said when they got on the ground there effectively wasn't one of those an operation. they were

creating that plan on the fly by themselves trying to figure out how to get these americans and these afghans who had worked with the us for the last two decades out of the country while we saw that tom all that chaos around the actual kabul airport. >> yeah. i mean, david from you could argue that this debacle, let's call it what it was was a real turning point for the biden administration mean, what does this new reporting tell you? >> well >> the three major foreign policy decisions the biden administration, you see the same pattern appearing in afghanistan, in israel and in ukraine we're, they want two contradictory things and refuse to choose. so they want out of afghanistan and they want out of afghanistan fast, but they want to protect allies and friends and afghanistan and have an orderly withdrawal ukraine, they want to help ukraine survive, but they don't want ukraine to hit russia too hard. they don't want to expand the war in israel. they want to support israel again hamas, but they don't want to have bad things appear on television and they are so there this is an administration where the

foreign policy is run by very, very smart people, often too smart for their own good because if less smart people would say, we can't have two things. what we have one thing will be hard enough don't we do one thing that's difficult enough to things that are contradictory, that's impossible >> very briefly. >> well i'm sorry, kate, with you on i'm not entirely agree with that assessment, but i do think it would be remember the situation in afghanistan was such the trump administration had entered into an agreement with the taliban. the timeline it was not the biden administration's to set here. they were working with constraints that had been laid out by the trump administration also on this question of a neo announcing a neo three months before you leave signals to the entirety of the world that you've no confidence in the afghan government. so it was, it was a picking in an egg situation that was challenging. we certainly didn't want to be in a situation like we wound up with people crashing the gates and crashing the planes. but

you also can't three months ahead of departure signal to the world. we're rushing people out of the country because we have no faith that the government is going to stand when we go. so these were really complicated and difficult situations and i can tell you that the administration was very focused on trying to get people out safely, get them out quickly. it was a very challenging situation >> kylie, great reporting. thank you very much for being here this morning. i really appreciate it. >> come up next here, rocked by the earthquake. new video shows the danger drivers faced in taiwan. i mean, this is out of an action plus a new battleground state emerges in the presidential race nebraska, why donald trump and the gop are focused on the cornhuskers state it's better outside with the ninja outdoor families. cook outs are better with master grills that cyr in show like a propane grill, barbecue smoke, and air fry outdoors everyday activities or better with license coolers that keep ice for days. and have fridge

case in new york. this morning, there are serious questions about the timing of another of the cases, the florida classified documents case, and a filing late tuesday. special counsel jack smith blasted judge aileen cannon for her handling in the case, arguing the judge's decision and tactics are ultimately stalling. here was former trump white house lawyer ty cobb last night i think the evidence from her bias is pretty palpable at this stage of the game. i think the 11th circuit tried desperately to draw a line for her, but her delays here are extraordinary filing today makes it plain that she has to rule. and if she doesn't rule under either under either scenario, there'll be in a position to take her up to the lens circuit. and i think 11th circuit will likely take her off the case okay. joining me, i'll see cnn senior crime and justice part of kaitlan, polantz, our panels also still here caitlin, good morning. wonderful to see you >> the judge, in the hush money case basically >> dispensing with this kind of last-minute trump attempt to delay the case. there. but this

stuff that's going on with aileen cannon, this sort of surprise filing from jack smith and now ty cobb racing, raising the possibility that she could actually get thrown off of that case >> can you help us understand because that >> possibility, how would that play out? it always could be. there are steps before you really get to that point. there's one thing that's outstanding still that she hasn't ruled on about releasing witness names. that is in the position the shin if she rules against what the justice department wants, which is to protect fbi agent names and witness names in this case. they already lost that once before her asked her to reconsider if they lose again, then that is primed to go to the appeals court. >> you >> can't always do this thing called mandamus. that's the legal term for or where you take an appeal out of line with the typical process. but there's a lot happening in this case that she just isn't ruling on. and this filing from jack smith says, move this along promptly. you're asking

us to engage in thought exercises that just don't make sense. that's it's a position of the justice department, the prosecutors, and also on top of that, it's been 34 days, not just not rolling on anything that's been fully briefed, but 34 days since both sides appeared before her and asked her to set a trial date and gave her proposed schedules nothing sure. michael, what is your sense of i mean, this is obviously becoming very political. yeah. right. this is getting to the point where there are allegations of bias against this, judge that she is biased in favor of donald trump do you buy >> that based i think any criminal defendant would love to have a friend like judge cannon. it's very obvious. we're she were xi's lies on this but i think overall this is a part of the former president's, a political strategy to try to delay these trials as as much as possible. i think the new york case may not have the same political implications as january 6 or

the fani willis good. and georgia or the one in florida which is where a lot of americans are wondering, will we potentially have to vote for someone who is a convicted felon? and i think donald trump is acutely aware of that. so if you can delay this thing right up until the last minute is going to try to accomplish that. yeah. i mean, look, i've been with you in agreeing that this hush money case is probably the least impactful, david, except for the fact that now it may be the only one >> right. but there's a weird kind of karmic justice here. >> i'd like you? i have thought the new york case was the weakest and least consequential i wrote about that for the atlantic at the time when it was posted. him, please don't bring this indictment. this is the wrong case, but it looks like so often with the american justice system, this may be the only justice there is because of the whatever is going on in florida weather. judge cannon is an ally of prompts whether she's just having a personal meltdown under the weight of all of this responsibility, panic and cowardice may be as much a part of the story is bias. in georgia because the poor judgment of prosecutor fani willis, we just derailed that case and certainly brought some

delays that new york maybe the only case there is the only chance for the american system to say trying to overthrow the government of the united states is bad and should be discouraged, except that this is actually about the 2016 election. porn stars and hush money. the totally different topic speaking of january 6, it has now been more than three years since the deadly assault on the capitol. >> some of the >> people who were convicted for participating are just now being sentenced. among them is taylor, john takeaways, who was convicted of seven crimes including assaulting a police officer there. he is in the months since his conviction, he has downplayed the events of the day saying everything about january 6, this is just overblown we're just going to stay for a second on this video. the word he used was overblown >> he was sentenced to >> seven years in prison yesterday by district judge royce lamberth, who use the opportunity to issue this stark warning judge lamberth said, quote, this cannot become normal. we cannot condone the normalization of the january 6

us capitol riot and that of course, is at odds with how former president donald trump talks about the day and the people who were there they had a release the j six hostages. they've suffered releasing, you see the spirit from the hostages, and that's what they are as hostages were going to be working on that suited the first day we get the office was going to save our country >> david from this attempts to rewrite history from the former president >> i >> mean, the judge here was very stark in saying we cannot normalize this because that's what's happening. it is being normalized. >> well, this particular defendant made some statements and questions at the sentencing trial that revealed that he adheres to an ideology called the sovereign citizen move which says that by reciting magic cheat codes, you can have all the benefits of being a

citizen of the united states or whatever state you live in the name you can, if you call 911, they will come if your house catches fire, the fire department will come. you can have all of those benefits, but by saying these magic words, you don't have to have any obligations. you don't have to have a driver's license if you want to drive, you don't have to pay taxes and you don't have to refrain from attacking the congress of the united states it may be of all of the conspiracy theories out there, the stupidest but a large numbers of large number of people believe it. but what donald trump is doing is offering, is offering many americans the opportunity to be released from their civic obligations if you lose an election, you have to smile file. i'm work next time. and who hasn't lost an election, you have to smile and work next time. you cannot turn to violence. but there are people and a growing number of people think those obligations don't apply to them. they only have a claims they don't have duties >> yeah. >> kate bedingfield the biden campaign and democrats obviously in particular present biden himself honestly very much seems to personally identify with what happened on

january 6. the election was stolen from him, was attempted to be stolen from him. rides and personal >> it's >> very motivating for him he has argued that the democrats should be running on democracy and protecting democracy. when you see what trump is doing, what these defendants are arguing with this judge is saying >> the i guess my question is that is this the january 6 people are hostages? is that breaking through with americans past like just core trump's supporters, like i wasn't being received. yeah >> the answer is no. i don't think that it is breaking through beyond this. this is a donald trump base argument. this is what maga wants to hear. this is, this is become like an ideal piece of identity for them i think for most americans, it actually, it doesn't land because most people look at the footage like we were just watching there and see a violent mob attacking the capitol and when you grow up in this country and you're going to elementary school and you're learning about government and

you're learning about the separation of powers and most americans view the protection of their right to vote. their freedoms. the peaceful transfer of power as fundamentally american identity. and i think for trump if for trump to make the centerpiece of his campaign trying to take that away or, or subvert that no, i don't think that's going to land. i think this is going to be a powerful motivator for voters who might be otherwise frustrated with biden or otherwise frustrated with politics. i think donald trump is giving a huge opening to biden in the biden campaign to make this election about something that people feel really strongly and their bones and they should >> sure. michael, i think kate is 100% correct. there may be people who are angry, upset, disgruntled about a whole host of issues. and here's donald trump talking about the election being stolen, or these people are freedom fighters and most people say wait a minute

here, man, i'm with you on the academy. i'm with you on immigration, but this is nuts. what the hell but you're talking about if i were advising the former president, i've said this on your show before kasie electoral politics is about addition, not subtraction. your base there with you. those folks have been with donald trump for 40 plus years now. he has to figure out how in the world can you convince some of those folks in the middle and those very tight battleground states that we've been talking about for a year-and-a-half now, too. move back over to his corner. this is not how you accomplish that >> before we wrap up on this topic, speaking of the normalization of what happened on january 6, i just want to show you what mike johnson had to say on newsmax a couple of days ago, i had initially missed this when he said this, but i want to show it to you. >> watch >> i made a commitment immediately. i forgot the gamma that we would start releasing that originally were trying to blur some of the phases to protect the innocent people who were just there and just happened to be walking through the building but then we realized a lot of this has out there in the public anyway. and so yeah, we're releasing americans fast as you possibly we can so the quote is, again,

he wanted to protect people who were just there and just happened to be walking through the building, gave it from this is the speaker of the house of representatives >> well, this goes to show some of his hapless snus and one of the reasons why he has so entangled over zone shoelaces but i just want to pick up on this point about what this is going to mean for the country and the election well there's a great american novel called the long goodbye, in which the hero, private detective finally gets rid of an annoying and actually criminal friend. and he says, when he says goodbye to the friend, you talk too much and too much of it is about you >> and i think that's >> going to be americans verdict on president trump that he is not talking as you're michael said, he's not but anything that you care about. he's not offering to do with are your medical cost to hire you worried about your mother going to a nursing home and how you'll pay for it. are you worried about inflation? are you worried about prices? know, he has nothing to say about that. everything is him. he talks too much and too much of it is about him. >> all right. coming up next here >> rescuers race to save hundreds let's of people trapped by the deadly

switching the state to a winner take all system, right now, they award one congressional, one delich, one electoral vote to each congressional district. that leaves, as you can see, it would strip president biden's ability to pick up an electoral vote from omaha is blue. second congressional districts. >> there is a scenario where this makes, this is one of biden's clearest pathways to reelection. and when every vote matters, that could make all the difference in nebraska lawmakers rejected the first attempt last night to make the change. but supporters plan to try again today, the panel is back. >> but let me show you a little bit of the debate that we had on the floor of the nebraska legislature because i'm a political nerd. but it's actually kind of great as there were people who were opposing at this change. the president, former president trump, is really like pushing for himself lodge pathetic, wormed. donald trump thinks that he knows what's best for nebraska and what nebraskan swant. but this

man is building up the governor. obviously once this electoral vote, because he's so scared, he can't win the presidency without it. >> i want to throw up i want to go to bed but i can't because i don't trust you and you don't deserve to be trusted >> a lot of emotion there. but david from this is actually a very >> realistic possibility that if this one vote and, you know we don't we'll have our data nerd harry enten here to kind of give us a map of this, but there is a very realistic possibility that this actual one electoral vote could decide the election one way or the other. >> you don't have to be a big nerd. you just have to remember these simple facts. the last time the republican candidate for president got more votes in the democratic candidate resident was 2004 the last time before that was 1988. so you have to be in your 30s to participate in an election where the republican won more votes and you have to be in your 50s to participated in two elections with republicans got

more votes. >> but the >> popular vote more, yeah, yeah. so what would probably, but there have been a lot of republican presidents because when it comes time to count all the votes, republicans say, what matters is respected minority rights, and we have this magnificent mechanism called the electoral college. and the fact that it happens consistently to work to our advantage is not the reason why we cherish. it's because of its sacred, the sacred principles here so nebraska has an electoral college. nebraska has minority represent eight well know at the state level, the majority already must prevail. so it's very important that the will of the majority of nebraskan prevail, but just utterly unimportant. the majority of americans prevail. and if you can sort that out, then i think you've got a job waiting for you on the floor of the nebraska nebraska state legislature to make the case that i'm trying to explain >> kd is the biden campaign focused it's august because i'm gonna kinda think they should be. look, they're focused on their focus on every conceivable path to 270? yes. of course they are they are watching this. they're focused on this. they are making

decisions and we'll make decisions as the campaign progresses about where they put their resources, they have focused on this district it's in nebraska in the past because every electoral vote matters because you have to get to two 70. so so yes, they are. i think look, this is clearly a very, as david was laying out this is clearly a very partisan attempts to try to narrow the path for joe biden and widen the path for donald trump i think people see it for what it is we'll see what the nebraska legislature does but yes, of course, the biden campaign's focus on this. they're focused on every possible pathway to get to, to 70 >> so speaking of it being obvious what it is. sure michael here was what donald trump had to say about this. governor jim pylint of nebraska. i wonder if he really knew who he was before this, but you know, hey, a very smart and popular governor has done some really great things came out today with a very strong letter in support of returning nebraska as electoral vote to a winner-take-all system. moos. nebraskan have wanted to go back to this system for a very long time because it's what 48 other states do. it's what the founders intended.

>> and it's right, >> for nebraska, this is making david trump's argument for him >> that's, that's typical trump. but what i will say is it's, it's why you see a very different presidential election, this, campaign, this time around compared to 2016, or whatever we may say about some of trump's more at land is outlandish remarks on the campaign stump or things he post on truth, social. there are very dedicated, very serious, very talented individuals actually running that campaign. chris lacivita, susie wiles, these are talented individuals and if you look at trump's campaign during the republican primary process, his campaign early on when state-by-state getting local statewide gop it's a change the rules to winner-take-all, which benefited donald trump comparative many of his components. maine were winner-take-all would hurt donald trump. well, that's right. except main in there's a sacred principle that the minority must be already must be respected, not in nebraska where the minority must not a respect very different. obviously, can't see that. then i can't help you yes.

just to be clear, main is the one other state on the map that now remember trump will say the governor is the worst human being on the planet of the earth. and venus, they get this across the finish line for donald trump. he loved him today. you hate him tomorrow? >> yes. so what i mean is this going to happen? do we think i have no idea, but i think but it is i wouldn't be surprised i think what it does point to is that this is not an election where donald trump has any realistic idea that he can actually persuade a majority or even a plurality of americans that his strategy is always, how do i convert fewer votes into more power? because most americans reject me and what i stand for >> hook with that this 52 minutes past the hour. here's your warning. roundup crews are combing through rubble try to save 101 people trapped after the 7.4 earthquake rocked taiwan. experts say a slew of aftershocks could make the search and rescue more dangerous. disney, bob iger really winning a proxy battle against a group of activist investors seeking seats on the

disclosure. i'm not paying for it. i've never really fussed about it that much >> i mean, what maybe it'll make my sort of verified social people can fly used about this case you this morning, i was looking at some of my friends pose like wait a minute, am i paying for this all of a sudden >> i mean elon musk needs to figure out what the heck he's doing with x. it's all over the place. >> well, i mean, it seems like david that this is the reality is that there are other platforms that are threatening him and he realizes he seems to have been us did one of the things that was most value of y i used to use twitter a lot. i still use it some. i used it mostly as an inbound information source and elon musk has substantially damage that in before elon musk something happened. it's somewhere in the world an earthquake in taiwan and outbreak of conflict between armenia and azerbaijan, you could with a little bit work in ten or 12 minutes if you knew what you're doing fine, the people to trust you could begin to look, even if you never wrote about it, you had learned about it. and that functionality has really been damaged. and the blue check

marks are very nice. i hope people enjoy them >> but >> didn't just come back. >> sorry that >> i had a pretty a big following, so i didn't lose it in the first one i was over there was a certain amount. right. and losing the first question. >> but >> what i've never cared about that what i care about is its functionality is an inbound machine as an information gathering devices way to learn about places in the world where other platforms aren't there to give voice to local reporters in places of danger. and that functionality he has not been fixed and that's the thing that from my point of view, most needs to happen. >> yeah. >> all right. >> now there's this, the democratic national committee targeting potential spoiler candidate robert f. kennedy jr. the group running mobile billboard outside pro-kennedy fundraisers this week highlighting just who kennedy's biggest donor is. watch you back

>> okay, there of course, underscoring kate, that donald trump in rfk junior share a major political donor. where do you think this stands mean, how would you evaluate the dnc? he's and the efforts to tamp down these campaign. >> well, i mean, look, i think >> it's smart for the dnc to do this. i think the democrats need to be aggressive about not letting kennedy go undefined and unchecked throughout the race. i don't think that president biden needs to engage robert kennedy directly, but i do think this is the kind of thing they should be doing. they should be spending money on making sure that people know they uerstand that there t isn't a world in which robert f. kennedy is going to be president united states. he's not ing to win eugh ecral votes to be presidt. and si thinwhat is helpeople underand, is running education campaign. essentially to help people rsta that a vote for robe knedy a vote for to put someone else in the e white house. so i think it'

smart for them to do this. we knowhis is goingbe a close ce. wenow third party candidates have potential to swing battleground states. and so for them to sit back and just give kennedy a free pass, i think wouldn't be smart would be foolhardy. >> well, there's been a lot of talk. we've talked about that on the show before. but how robert f. kennedy jr. voter might come from donald trump. but the thing to remember is what we're talking about here with this money is robert f. kennedy's super pac money. robert f. kennedy does not control his own super pac. it's controlled by the donors. those donors are trump donors. and so whatever kennedy says, where in his speeches the money that is spent by that pack will be he spent that super pac will be spent to attack biden. here's the people are funding at the people were directing it. they want to hurt biden whatever's in robert f. kennedy's anti-vax mind. >> and the reality to share my goal is that donald trump has a hard ceiling on a hard floor. >> yeah. right. and so to the extent that there are people to move, they're moving in and out of biden's camp, potentially toward rfk those margins are almost nonexistent for the former president. when you look at president biden,

some of those close states are looking at numbers of 11 plus thousand in georgia or 33,000 as place like are arizona, a 22,000, wisconsin having someone on the ballot that could potentially pull some votes away from president biden certainly helps. are the former president, but i agree with democrats are absolutely smart to educate voters on the threat that robert f. kennedy poses if you're trying to make sure that president biden has a smooth sailing into november >> all right. >> i will leave all of you with this. do you remember chumbawamba get know. >> i definitely want to see more than six seconds of the video. guys, can we just bring that back? that band is demanding new zealand's deputy prime minister winston peters, stop playing, tug thumping and political rallies. the band says, everything peters stands for is counters, counters there are two chumbawamba's world view it's reminder rockstars in one hit wonders. could we'd call one hit wonder? i love that song. you guys >> but they are
