send info kit dot com. physicians mutual physicians, mutual i'm natasha bertrand at the pentagon. >> and this is cnn oh, and welcome to all of you wanting us here in the states, canada, and all around the world i'm kimberly this is cnn newsroom resin, joe biden courting black voters in a battleground state, what to expect from as much anticipated commencement speech today and morehouse college an ultimatum from within the israeli government, how prime minister benjamin netanyahu is responding to calls for him to solidify a plan for rafah. >> and hundreds of thousands of people still without power and texas and louisiana has high temperatures threaten the region president biden is on the campaign trail. this weekend talking with supporters of the downtown atlanta restaurant and attending a fundraising event. and he's
2:02 am
working to allay fears over recent polls that put him behind donald trump in several battleground states, down a few hours. biden will give the commencement speech at the historically black all-male morehouse college. this comes with the president is facing criticism for his policies towards israel and gaza there are concerns that what should be a joyful de, could turn ugly i'll let sines has more president biden will deliver the commencement address, add morehouse college and all male historically black college here in atlanta, georgia the event is meant to celebrate the graduating seniors, but it has come with a dose of controversy as some faculty and students since have expressed frustration with president biden's handling of the conflict in gaza. >> that is an issue that it has been a key concern to many young voters. the white house dispatched a senior official just last week to morehouse college to meet with a small group of faculty and students. that meeting lasted a little
2:03 am
over two hours and i'm told that about half of it focused specifically on the issue of gaza, but president biden will face a very delicate balancing act as he gives his remarks on sunday and there is the potential for possible protest due to his support for israel in its war against hamas. but then also the president is trying to navigate shoring up support among black voter is including young black men, black voters comprised a core part of biden's constituency and coalition back in 2020, that's sent him to the white house. but recent polling has shown some lagging the support from that group. now, president biden, stop to to meet with some black voters, supporters at a restaurant here in atlanta, georgia on saturday talked about the accomplishments of his administration. but also warned the threat that trump could pose if he's reelected president biden also took a bit of a swipe at his rival. take a listen to this election, lots of stake lots of stake is not
2:04 am
about me. >> it's about the alternative as well you know, he think it's fair to say i won't use the exact frehse, use still plant ball my opponent is not a good loser but he's a loser. >> this is all part of a weekend long pushed by biden to court black voters after he speaks at morehouse college, the president will then travel on to detroit, michigan. another key battleground state. you will speak at the end double acp dinner there to offer another message to block like voters as biden his advisers are very aware that they need to keep that constituency together. if biden wants to secure another four years in the white house, arlette saenz, cnn, traveling with the president in atlanta, georgia i spoke earlier with given reynolds contributor to the roots and a former speech writer for vice president kamala harris about the impact of president biden's visit. >> to morehouse and how the president is resonating with black voters. serious i think
2:05 am
it's an incredible opportunity for the president to visit morehouse college into an address, a university which, which the president knows has been on the forefront of helping to push our nation forward for so long. >> he knows the legacy and the rich history of morehouse college. i think many of the students they're recognized that the president recognizes that. but i, you know, baseline conversation that i had, there were some that expressed some hesitance with the president coming and it's sort of wondered if they're special de, would turn into more of a campaign visit. >> you wrote that many young black voters, especially young black men, are feeling quo year. unloved, unheard, and unsupported by the democratic party. so why is that? and can a speech change any of that well, kim, i think it's important to think about this from a historical perspective. >> so we know that in 1964, president johnson, lyndon b johnson, and democrats signed the civil rights act into law. and he did so against a lot, of
2:06 am
protests from southern democrats who at the time were the racist party. and when he signed that bill, all those democrats defected from the party and became republicans. and i think from then on, over the decades that followed, it was pretty clear which party stood for what the democratic party was perceived to be. the party for civil rights expand ending civil rights for black folks. whereas the republican party was viewed as being the antithesis of dad, i think now that we're decades beyond that, i think what you're seeing is that a lot of younger black voters just aren't seeing it that way anymore. they're not, they're not giving the democratic party that same benefit of the doubt that older black voters, perhaps are. and so despite the fact that i think the president has a mass that's an incredible record of accomplishments and is delivered an incredible amount of policy wins for the black community, including younger black voters. when he talked about creating jobs and investing in hbcus, investing in black-owned small businesses expanding health care access, canceling billions and billions of dollars in student debt. i think what we're seeing is that a lot young black voters
2:07 am
just haven't felt that quite yet. and so it's important for the president, i think during his speech to really lean into his record. but before doing that to address the frustrations and the concerns that a lot of younger black voters are feeling right now with the democratic party. yeah. >> listen, we only have about a minute left, but since you and i are both in atlanta, i want to sound you out here. president biden flipped georgia in 2020. you're here, you're things do seem different this time around. trump leads in the polls. the state has passed voting restrictions democratic strategists don't like to hear it, but polls show black support for trump is growing and again, georgia could make all the difference. so compare it to la last election. what are you seeing here in georgia this time around? >> well, you're right, kim, i think what you pointed out, i think it will come down to these actionable come down to georgia again as a proud georgia. and i think and that's, that's pretty cool. i looked i think we're obviously not in a pandemic right now the same way we were four years ago. so it's feels very different in that respect. i think it's important to
2:08 am
emphasize that president biden's support among black voters is very solid and president trump's support among black voters is a bismol. i don't think we're going to see a defection in mass of black voters from president biden to number president trump. i think what we could see in a state like georgia, is perhaps some of the younger black voters staying home. and so i think it's coordinates impaired at the, that the biden campaign make up that enthusiasm gap because we know on the other side, president trump's base is ready to come out donald trump is also out on the campaign trail this weekend, you had a warning for gun rights activists are meeting of the national rifle association texas details. >> look at efforts to change voting laws in states across the country, coming up a little later this hour in israel, a key member of benjamin netanyahu's war cabinet has issued an ultimatum. benny gantz says he will quit the war cabinet if netanyahu doesn't lay out a plan to get the hostages back, establish of post-war government in gaza. and normalize relations with
2:09 am
saudi arabia if you prefer the national to the personal and choose to follow in the footsteps of hertzl, ben gurion begun and rabin, you will find as partners in the struggle. >> but if you choose to follow the path of fanatics and lead the entire nation into an abyss. >> we will be forced to resign from the government netanyahu's office as against us demands would be a defeat for israel. in tel aviv, new anti-government protests on saturday, demonstrators are calling for the return of the hostages and new elections in israel in gaza. signs of desperation has trucks filled with aid drove away from the new floating pier. people climbed on board and took boxes of food on land, says they did it because of widespread hunger. and nations has about 800,000 palestinians have evacuated rafah that's nearly half of the city's population just one month ago. now, northern gaza is really tanks responded moving into jabalya, it's the largest of gaza's palestinian refugee camps. this
2:10 am
month, israel restarted military sweeps of areas. it previously cleared get almost elie glaucon is live in tel aviv, so elliot first take us through against his ultimatum, netanyahu's response and what am i mean for the fragile coalition and for the war? >> kim israel's war cabinet has largely put on a united front over the past few months, despite their obvious divisions. but these divisions have now really burst out into the open just on wednesday, defense minister yoav golan, two together with netanyahu and benny gantz make up the three members of the war cabinet. you have to learn the defense minister just on wednesday criticizing netanyahu openly for failing to come out with a coherent plan for the day after the war with hamas in gaza. in particular, warning against the possibility of israel being in control militarily on the ground in gaza after the war is over. now we've got benny gantz, a member of the war cabinet. former defense minister, former head of the idf, and possibly a
2:11 am
netanyahu's biggest political rival coming out and laying down this ultimatum saying if you don't come up with this six point plan, which includes getting the hostages back, destroying hamas, returning displaced people to the north, and also making progress towards normalization with saudi arabia. then he will quit the gun by june the 8th, but it's unclear exactly what that would mean in practice because let's not forget, but even if benny gantz removes himself from this government, netanyahu still has the numbers he's still has enough people in his coalition government in the israeli parliament, the knesset, to remain in power our so what dan's seems to be doing is perhaps on the one hand, ensuring that he has an easy way out if he feels in his words that israel does hit the rocks, that it is aimed, that it is heading towards right now and at the same time trying to position himself politically as a kind of prime minister in waiting for the day after netting who's government. but as i say, unless netanyahu fails to keep these far-right
2:12 am
ministers and is ultra orthodox ministers in the fold within his coalition government. and there's no sign that netanyahu, the wildest of political operators, would allow that to happen, there. netanyahu will remain in office. he won't need to go to the people of israel until october 2026, some two-and-a-half years away. so even though opinion polls suggest that if an election were to be held tomorrow, netanyahu would lose he doesn't actually have to go to the polls until october 2026 and less by some mistake, perhaps on his part, for miscalculation, i should say, on his part he's unable to keep his far-right ministers within the fold of his coalition. as i say something which seems unlikely that netanyahu is going to allow to happen yeah. >> and then elliott sadly, the discovery of another body of another hostage, the fourth in two days and pressure building on netanyahu to bring the rest of the hostages home in. >> this pressure has been building on netanyahu for
2:13 am
months now. but we know that talks mediated by the egyptians and the categories between israel and hamas on getting some kind of ceasefire deal in place in exchange for the release of a number of israeli hostages that is hidden brick wall. and at the same time, israel is now discovering the hostages that it previously thought was alive are now, in fact, dead. and as you say, they discovered the bodies benjamin and 53 year-old father of two akin cyclist. you go biking every saturday morning and so it wasn't that fateful saturday morning of october 7 and was out on his bike he got killed. the idf says by hamas militants and then his body was abducted into the gaza strip and israel recovered his body along with the bodies of three other hostages, that it had already announced that it had found on friday and a big concern and they've been saying this for weeks, for months now, is that there simply isn't time. time is running out now for the hostages being held in gaza strip. now since october the seventh, if something isn't done, if the government doesn't do whatever it takes
2:14 am
to bring them home, then they may not be able to get their loved ones back into israel alive. that is their biggest fear. there is still 124 hostages. the idf believes being held inside the guards strip about a quarter of whom are already dead. and these protesters are concerned that that number of deaths all right, thanks so much. >> the only god can in tel aviv appreciate that saudi crown prince mohamed bin salman met with us national security adviser jake sullivan on sunday in saudi arabia the state-run saudi press agency reports the two discussed the need to stop the war in gaza and how to find a credible track towards a two-state solution. the report says they also reviewed nearly finalized draft a strategic agreements between the seeing them and us solvent is expected to travel to israel on sunday for talks with prime minister netanyahu more ukrainians are being evacuated near the northern border, but heavy

middle 90s, but that could feel even hotter than that once you factor in some of the human de, a, look at the heat index values approaching 100 hundred and five from brownsville, texas near 100 and corpus christi heat index values in the middle 90s and houston, again without power and air conditioning, this composed a little bit more of risks to be careful to take breaks as you're cleaning up some of that damage, that heat builds in the south as another storm system develops there in the rockies. and that's going to pose our next severe threat in the plains by sunday and monday, we're looking at another, a couple of round of storms with damaging winds, large hail and maybe some tornadoes possible. so we'll need to stay weather aware. you can see it as storms are starting to fire up late on sunday, especially across parts of kansas this is going into nebraska, and we'll have that front slowly start to work its way into the rest of the midwest as we go into monday with that continued storm threat. >> so for omaha, are looking at temperatures above average before that front with highs in the 80s is showers and storms rolled through as we start out the work week and those

joins me now from newark, new jersey. thanks so much for making time to be with us here. i know you're in transit to present on your paper, so first, just on the health statistics, about half saying that their health is worse. i mean explain that. what do we know about the cause here? what health effects are they reporting aloha? so yes. so we know that the second unity that has been affected by the fire, pretty wildfire 10% of the population just didn't have good access to care and now, we're seeing that up to 40% of these people just don't have good access to medications in addition, many of the people lost health insurance. so during the fires so we're seeing that about 10% of the population just don't have access to good health insurance you look at hispanics. in particular, we are seeing that
2:25 am
up to 38% of them, they just don't have good access. so that's one of the issues. the second issue is this is a rural community that people just didn't have good access in the past. and now, housing is one of the priorities because stuff that displacement and it's not just physical effects as well as its mental health. two, that's suffering yeah. and one of the interesting things that we are seen about mental health is that of course, have been physically affected by those who were exposed at diploma fire they showing symptoms of problems with long things like that but mental health is actually affecting the white measure, not necessarily those who were directly affected but also indirectly affected depression, for instance, more than 50% of people are shown sign of the sounds. >> we actually have a sort of a pretty wildfires we were
2:26 am
expecting i want 30% interest, 20% and suicidal ideation is another thing of course, yeah, i mean, just such a severe effect across the board. and what's interesting about your studies is that you've been taking a snapshots are things getting better at all yes. so that is some good hope that people are transitioning from hotels into housing prairie house, annapolis but bell is one of the big concerns of people just tried to move into a more secure housing ploy many social, another effect, things that we're seeing that people are getting employment but that is still severe issues and we are concerned because when you don't have a house help, you priority, right? i mean, you want to have a physical place to live and people don't take care of their health basically, the study that we are doing is

2:32 am
association their annual convention, trump boasted about not caving into political pressure to impose new gun restrictions when he was president, he urged gun owners to get more involved in the upcoming election. >> see you steve contorno has more the national rifle association endorsed donald trump for president at their convention in dallas on saturday. >> but the former president's said he needs more than the backing of gun owners in this election. he needs their votes. >> we've got to get gun owners to vote because you know what? i don't know what it is. >> perhaps it's a form of rebellion because you're rebellious. >> people argue, but gun. owners don't vote. what is that all about i've heard that i heard it a few weeks ago. they've for the gun owners voted. we would swap them at levels that nobody's ever seen before. so i think you're rebellious bunch but let's be rebellious and vote this time, okay trump went onto boasts that he quote didn't move an inch on gun laws when he was
2:33 am
president and he has said the nation's gun owners had been quote, under siege, under president joe biden. >> he vowed to unravel all of joe biden's gun policies if he is elected to a second term and said he would also fire the atf director, the nation's top gun regulator. his appearance in dallas drew a strong rebuke from the biden campaign with this statement coming from vice president harris at a time when guns are the number one cause of death for children and teens in america donald trump is catering to the gun lobby and threatening to make the crisis worse if reelected, it remains to be seen how much the nra can assist donald trump this cycle eight years ago, they put upward of $30 million toward helping him defeat hillary clinton. but the organization it has faced a number of crisises in the region in recent years, including scandals related to financial mismanagement that have threatened its relevancy and his coffers, steve contorno, cnn, dallas the state in which you live, could very well determine how easy or difficult voting this november could be a

new report by the brennan center for justice analyses, new laws passed across the country. if finds that at least 11 states are in fact making it easier to vote kentucky, for instance, now allows mail-in ballots to be sent to address so other than the ones on file in some circumstances, nebraska has restored voting rights for x felons who have completed the terms of their sentence, including probation, rather than waiting two years. but the brennan center found that almost 2020 sorry, that most states 28 in all, have enacted laws since 2020 that make it harder to cast a ballot alabama and idaho for instance, now impose criminal penalties in some cases for helping with absentee voting. north carolina law mandates that mail-in ballots must be received by 7:30 p.m. on election day to be counted eliminating a three-day grace period. >> all right. joining us now from new york is andrew garber. he is with the voting rights and elections program for the brennan center. really appreciate having you want to
2:35 am
take us through these findings. the headline here that voters and almost half the country will face new voting restrictions in the upcoming general election. i mean, is that as disturbing and worrisome as it seems on its face this it is. >> thank you for having me happy to join. it's definitely a big concern because we want to be seeing states, make it easier for people who are eligible to vote to be able to do so. and really going back to january 2021, right after the last presidential section, which was followed by a lot of lies and myths about voter fraud taking place when reality that election was safe and secure and there was no evidence of any widespread issues some states began to very quickly pass the that made it harder to vote. and so those restrictions comment all stages of the voting process for many people, it may become harder to register that may have less access to an absentee valid or early voting and they did last time or it may be simple as there are fewer polling places.
2:36 am
and it means elect to travel farther or wait in a longer line. those are big concerns were seeing. certainly it's good on the other hand, in many states have made it easier to vote, but that's something you'd like to see all states still. >> yeah. and as you say, it continues to trend and i imagine most of the restrictions were passed in red states. is that right? and what states were the most restrictive? >> restrictions it has in many different states and it's not uncommon actually, for stay to pass both restrictions and expansions in the last few years though it's important to note that not all new laws are created equally. we seen states such as texas, georgia, florida, iowa, pass laws that make get harder to vote in a variety of ways. we sometimes call these omnibus laws because they do a number of things to make it more difficult to vote. so it's important as well to see exactly what the restrictions are. because sometimes they can pile up and then sometimes it's more of a death by 1,000 cuts. you make it a little bit harder a vote.
2:37 am
here are a little bit harder but they are. >> that's something that just all of a sudden people don't realize they had to register or request an absentee ballot as early as they needed to where they see a really long line on election day. >> that's the result of a few different changes in policy and they ultimately leave without the right. >> you talked about georgia. i mean, it's it's hard to know, but in terms of how it might influence a close election, are there any battleground states that are heavily affected? i know here in georgia, there moving through a law that would make it easier for citizens to challenge other people's votes. for instance yeah, that's right. georgia's a place that's seen a lot of action in terms of election restrictions over the last few years, not to place where voters should be looking ahead thinking about this year's election to make sure that how they voted last time is something that they're still able to do in the same way again, they don't need to travel farther polling place. for instance, on the other hand, i think it's important to know that states as michigan have actually a battleground
