1:01 pm
biden. >> the lead starts right now he has been for monday it's accused of avoiding the traditional media, but now president biden is going one on one in a cnn exclusive. what did he tell erin burnett about issue number one for so many? photos, the economy and the struggle right now for so many americans. the very first interview clip is coming right up in the new york hush money cover-up kings get cnn is learning about the new strategy by donald trump's legal team. in direct response to the testimony from adult film actors and directors stormy daniels, who returns to the stand tomorrow morning and in what may be the most bizarre report of the week in a week that included kristi noem is bookstore, robert f. kennedy, city junior, is acknowledging brain worm and i'm not talking figurative brain worms. i mean, he literally said a worm eight part of his brain died in his nahyan welcome to the lee.
1:02 pm
>> and i'm jake tapper we're gonna start today with the cnn exclusive interview with president joe biden, the commander in chief, just spoke with cnns. erin burnett, and the crucial battleground state of wisconsin, you might remember the badger state serving as a key part of the blue wall that collapsed in 2016, sending donald trump to the white house and was rebuilt by democrats in 2020 sending joe biden there today, the president is back in wisconsin for the fourth time. this you're trying to pitch his economic policies while also taking direct aim at the presumptive republican nominee, donald trump, biden standing in racine county this afternoon to announce a 3.3 billion dollar investment from microsoft to build a new artificial intelligence facility. the location, interestingly, is the exact same site where in 2018, then president trump broke ground on fox com, which was supposed to be a significant project and electronics factory that sadly largely failed to materialize. but despite president biden's optimism on
1:03 pm
the economy, polls consistently show americans disapprove of his handling of it. and that is where cnns, erin burnett began so when you talk about the economy, of course, it is by far the most important issue for voters. it's also true right now, mr. president, that voters by a wide margin, trust trump more on the economy. they say that in polls and part of the reason for that, maybe the numbers and you're aware of many of these, of course, the cost of buying home in the united states is double what it was when you look at your monthly costs from before the pandemic, real income, when you account for inflation is actually down since you took office, economic growth last week, farm are short of expectations consumer confidence, maybe no surprise is near a two-year low with less than six months to go to election day. are you worried that you're running out of time to turn that around we've already turned it around. >> look look at the michigan survey for 65% american people
1:04 pm
think they're in good shape economically, i think the nations not a good shape. there, personally good shape. the polling data has been wrong all along how many you guys do a poll? cnn, how many folks you have to call to get one response the idea that we're in a situation where things are so bad. a folk that we've created more jobs, we've made, we're in a situation where people have access to good paying jobs. and the last i saw, the combination of the inflation, the cost of inflation, all the things that's really worse than two people with good reason. that's why i'm working very hard to bring the cost of reynolds down to increase the number of homes that are available what of them, but let me say it this way. >> when i started this administration people were saying are going to be a collapsing the economy. >> we have the strongest economy in the world let me say it again. in the world, although gdp last week was far
Check
1:05 pm
short of expectations, oh, wasn't looked, gdp is still look at the response to the markets overwhelmingly positive. >> we're womanly positive and one of the reasons why people feel good about it, not being a strong as it was before is they believe that the fenves got respond. >> they hope they're gonna get rid cut. >> yeah, well, so what i mean, no president has had the run. we've had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation was 9% when i can do office, 9%. but it looked, people have a right to be concerned ordinary people. the idea that you're, your bonds, a check and you get $130 fee for both and check. my chase you can't. charge more than eight bucks. or your credit card. you don't you're late payment $35. i mean, there's corporate greed going on up there. and it's got to be dealt with erin burnett also press president biden on many other topics, including donald trump, the israel hamas war, and much more you can watch her full
1:06 pm
exclusive interview with president biden on erin burnett outfront. >> it's tonight at 7:00 p.m. eastern only here on cnn. let's discuss this. cnn's john king is with u.s. also meghan hayes, the former white house director of messaging and planning under president by john, let me start with you. your reaction to president biden hhs economic pitch there. >> he's right on the numbers about the economic turnaround, but he is on very dangerous ground. jake, i would say he risks offending get my language. i would say he risked off some of the voters i've talked to in my travels over the last six or seven months because they don't feel it. and so when he said at the top of that, we have turned it around. and he said in the middle of that, the polls are wrong. trust me from my travels, we have a vote, a group in milwaukee just north of where the president was today. and when we visited, then there used to be a lot of factories he's in their neighborhood. those factories are gone. they've dealing with covid, they're dealing with inflation. they talk a lot about the cost of living in the cost of groceries just last week, i was in michigan talking to auto workers, auto workers who are prepared to vote for president biden. they believe
1:07 pm
he's the most pro union president, but even they, they've seen beleaguered when they talk about the cost of groceries and how hard it is, and they can't move out of their house because they want to upgrade, but they can't afford a newer house, a bigger house right now because of mortgage rates. so this statistics backup the president's argument that economy is much better and is growing and is strong, the strongest in the world. he is correct, however voters don't feel that way, and voters don't like being told they're wrong and megan, cnn's jeff's a. just spoke with some wisconsin voters about the economy. i want to play what we heard from mr. tom ober house is family owns a farm in southern wisconsin the inflation thing is just wild. and neil were told by the government that, oh, seven or 8% inflation or whatnot we were filling more like it's 25% inflation you heat your paycheck and it looks good. but then when you pay them bills awda cycle, wow, it's all gone or id. >> so you help craft messaging at the white house how can president biden convince voters
1:08 pm
that the economy is much better than their lived experience. >> i think doing things like he did today. he helped microsoft and invest in racing. they created 3,000 jobs. that's the kind of thing and investing in in these communities, it's going to bring more jobs, better paying jobs, and more skills to communities that will give them more money in their paychecks. i also think he's working on junk fees like you mentioned, and he's working on different things to bring prices down, but he still has a ways to go. he needs to continue to bring gas prices down the summer months are gonna be very telling for that, but gas prices i need to come down. but the other thing is he needs to continue to draw the contrast with president trump. today's event with a perfect example of that, this is president trump was their six years ago, and the company pulled out and let the community just in parallel, large and then here comes president or president biden, excuse me, to break, to invest in this community, to bring in more jobs. so continuing to draw that contrast is also helpful for him and john president biden me to stop at a community center and we're seeing today to meet with black voters obviously a crucial if not v, crucial part of his coalition, you met with black voters and wisconsin late last year. what was their message
1:09 pm
for president biden? >> they want to see more of him. they want to see more of the vice president. they just feel that washington is not paying attention to their concerns that washington does not understand their concerns, that washington does not understand. jake. we both live in washington. people have washington tend to make pretty good money. yeah, grocery costs are higher. but does the president shoppers on groceries? i'm not beating up on president biden here. that's the perception voters have that they don't understand u.s. meghan just made i think a fascinating point in an area where the president can make inroads, making the point that trump talks. i do. >> trump talked about infrastructure week ad nauseum. >> biden did pass a historic bipartisan infrastructure law, and that will create jobs and it will create roads and bridges. today's announcement in a place where trump promised didn't deliver for biden says these promising, those auto workers i talked to, they remember president trump promising to keep an ohio plant open. he didn't follow through and biden did help keep illinois plant open. so there are opportunities there in the contrast with trump, the problem for the president is people don't see it. they don't feel it. if he's going to do it, he better do a lot of
1:10 pm
it. you've got to be out on the road let's just today, but a lot. >> so megan, there's a new a quick poll out or wisconsin today, if finds by the leading trump 52, 44, we should note other recent polling and wisconsin has found a much tighter race than that. and i think it's fair to say it's a toss up in the battleground states as of now meanwhile, donald trump is spending his days in court. he's facing at a criminal charges in four different cases president biden says he's a threat to democracy. january 6 happened. we have all these embarrassing details, stormy daniels and the prosecutor is going why are the poll so close if he is so awful? as democrats depict him? >> i think that no one's paying attention needs swing voters in these swing states are not paying attention and they'll start paying attention late september, early october. these are based voters that are paying attention right now. and so that's, those are the people who are in these polls. and i think when it comes down to the swing states in these boats that matter come october and when people have to make a decision in november, i think that's when the please salacious detail to this trial
1:11 pm
and mailed really start to look at who's gonna do better for them if it's going to be real acting president biden or president trump, john, how complicated is biden's path to reelection? >> if he does not win wisconsin this november if you're not winning wisconsin, that means you're probably struggling in michigan as well. and it means you're most likely struggling if not losing your home state, the commonwealth of pennsylvania, those three all the other column, the blue wall states that trump flipped read biden, flip them back. they will be obviously georgia, arizona as well. in nevada. but those three big industrial midwest states, where the economic argument is going to it'd be the key are absolutely critical to the president's path. the question is, can he turn around perceptions? and it looked at the democratic coalition is a lot more complicated than the republican coalition. and right now, to megan's point, take their names out of it right now, voters are looking at the stair state of their life and they want change. they want something different. brightens challenge is to make the contrast with trump to say, you don't want that, you may want changing my feet mad at me about some things, but you don't want that. he hasn't made that argument yet in part because we have six months. and
1:12 pm
in part because i agree with mega to the point where and asked by the pollsters now they're mainly asking about this is your incumbent. do you want change the answer today is yes. that's a challenge for the president the question that tell tell a question. ronald reagan has to be better off than you were four years ago, four years ago. where at the very beginning of covid, it was horrible, horrible time. and obviously the economy was tanking. >> there is a reluctance. it seems on behalf of the biden harris reelection campaign to talk about that though. >> is that because of covid and what a horrible thing it was and how obviously it wasn't donald trump's fault that covid happened, et cetera i mean, what is what is the reluctance? >> i can't see for why the campaign as i want, speak to that directly, but i do think that there is you can speak on the president's accomplishments in office as the president. and i think those are much more compelling arguments to make to folks moving then taking them back into the past, we want to continue to move forward. we want to continue to bring to eliminate student loans for
1:13 pm
people to bring down junk fees, to bring down some of these things that are really impacting people in their pocket book. and i think looking backwards isn't helpful. and so focusing on his accomplishments and how those are going to move forward. 4d is what's going to be a winning strategy. >> all right, megan and john king, thanks to both you. john will be back in just a few minutes with his all over the map series is time revisiting younger voters that he first met five months ago in michigan. here, what they think about the race today, some of them are changing their minds, but first why stormy daniels back on the witness stand tomorrow has donald trump's defense team rethinking their legal strategy? what are they going to do tomorrow? stay with u.s assignment with jati cornish, listen wherever you get your podcasts. today. >> at america's beverage companies are models might still look the same, but they can be remade in a hole new way. >> thanks to you. we're getting bottles back and we've developed a way to make new ones from 100% recycled plastic, new bottles made using no new lastly, you'll be seeing

1:18 pm
with stormy tomorrow they're trying to act as if none of this ever happened and try to go that direction. >> well, there really trying to attack her credibility and her motivations and part of that is there raising some past statements that she made and suggesting that she's changed her story. they got to some of that yesterday during the night 90 minutes of cross-examination that got underway, they pulled up parts of her memoir and then said that that did not match what she was testifying to, trying to chip away at her credibility because they're trying to chip away at this story and they're trying to say that she made it up too, because sex cells with president and former president donald trump. and that was the reason why she he was motivated to sell her story. she also testified that she at one point then wanted to get her story out because she felt threatened by a man in a parking lot. they spent a lot of time attacking that, asking her if this story was something that she just made up. so they're really trying to just raise questions in the jury mock jurors minds whether they should believe her or not. focusing in that she
1:19 pm
was motivated by money to sell her story. and as they put it to try to extort donald trump, daniels, though, deny that saying pretty sharply that that was false. >> jake drop is also asking a new york appeals court to expedite his appeal of the gag order imposed upon him by the judge in this case. what's going on with that? what's the latest right. >> so remember before the trial started, they tried to stop it by saying that this gag order was unconstitutional and an appellate judge had denied that in the trial started off as planned. well, at the time, they also ask the full appeals court to weigh in on the constitutionality of this gag order, which they are challenging. the appeals court has not ruled yet, and so trump's team, according to sources, filed this motion today earning the court to expedite their ruling and come up with a decision. of course, this comes as the judge overseeing the case. judge one, we're sean had found trumped in contempt for the 10th time this week and said that if he continues to violate the order, this $1,000 per violation find does not seem to be a
1:20 pm
deterrence. and the judge telling trump that he may have to throw them in jail. >> jiang. all right. keras thanks so much. so let's turn to one of stormy daniels, france alone to evans, who's name came up in daniel's testimony yesterday. prosecutor susan hoffinger, stormy daniels on the stand, quote, did you end up calling your friend elana from the hotel room? answer yes. did you put her on speaker answer? yeah. what, if any, conversation did you and mr. trump have with ellen on speaker? answer. he said hello, which meant that i won that bet. she said, what are you guys doing? and he said we're just hanging out once you come over and hang out with u.s. and she i can't remember what kind of excuse she made along. evans joins u.s. now, a lot it can you can you vouch for that story that call and conversation happened because donald trump obviously denies it any of this occurred absolutely not a leads to call a happen, i had met with stormy earlier that day when she filled me in on the moments of meeting donald for the first time at the golf tournament
1:21 pm
that started all of this were you also the friend that stormy daniels called from the bathroom but wasn't able to get through and got voicemail that would be me. stormy called me repeatedly that night of course, calling me on speaker phone with donald where i was invited by him as well to join them and i panicked at that point, i turned off my phone, decided it was a better decision for me to stay in that night instead of joining them. >> do you have records of these calls of the prosecution asked to see your phone records to prove that these calls actually happened to give credibility to stormy daniel story given that this happened in june of 2006, reaching records like that would be quite difficult to otherwise imagine my phone carrier would have any of that type of information. >> but again, we're talking about something that happened gosh, more than 15 almost getting close to 20 years ago.
1:22 pm
>> yeah. so those types of things are hard to get a hold of. >> so one of the things that stormy daniels said in her testimony and has said in interviews with anderson cooper and others, is that while she is not saying it wasn't consensual she didn't expect mr. trump to be in his underwear when she came out of the bathroom and she kind of felt as though she had was pressured to have sex with him, although again, she's not saying it was not consensual. now, when when that testimony came up in court, mr. trump's attorneys objected to it. they said it was prejudicial, et cetera. what, if anything, did she tell you at the time about this encounter a totally falls in line with what stormy had told me when we spoke that next morning and i was apologizing for essentially bailing on her she told me that donald was chasing her are around his hotel room. >> and at that time, what she told me was tidy, whitey is
1:23 pm
that's what i've expressed publicly since my side of the story came out back in 2016, 20 and so honestly, it goes along to the discomfort that she was likely feeling having in this man chasing her around his room? >> i don't think she testified that he was literally chasing her around the room, but but she definitely felt anyway, let me ask you, sources tell cnn that trumps legal team is now planning a longer than expected cross based on the details stormy shared, it sounds like they're going to be even more aggressive with her really tried to undermine her credibility, really tried to go after her character. you're her friend, are you nervous for her to be back on the stand? >> not at all. a stormy has been handling this so incredibly well she's not ashamed. she's being completely honest about what happened and she has her truth to keep her solid. i think that this has been incredibly
1:24 pm
empowering for stormy as well as it has been for myself finally having the truth, be able to come out in front of donald while he sits there and scorns as she tells her side of the story so conservatives are saying that the testimony yesterday proves that the district attorney's case is just about humiliating donald trump and not actually about the law, not actually about accountability. >> it's just about embarrassing him. what's your response to that donald trump has done enough to embarrass himself through this entire thing, including his presidency that i don't think that that is the concern. >> i think what they're afraid they're dealing with is very strong, steadfast one who's putting this man and in his place this isn't necessarily about his torrid affair with her, but about the fact that there was hush money paid and it was lied about. that's what this is the focus. that's what is happening here.
1:25 pm
>> all right. align evans thank you so much. appreciate your time today thank you. israel is now responded to the dramatic move by the biden administration, which paused shipments of munitions to israel. they say that's because they fear the weapons will be used to bomb parts of gaza where there are sizable populations of innocent civilians. cnn's clarissa ward for is in the region. we're going to go to her next mick has to be reimagined fee if you didn't know whether you were next, they were both yeah. i was calling it makes saw what turned out to be the biggest heist in history it went from gold medal winning icon to a pariah what really happened with jesse l. martin sunday's at nine on cnn the ups stores,

1:30 pm
officials directed at the biden administration over president biden's decision to withhold bomb shipments for israel. >> the biden administration concerned that they would be used in gaza is densely populated city of raffa the shipment would have included about 1,802,000 pound bombs, which u.s. officials are particularly concerned about given their ability to flatten city blocks. let's get right to cnn's clarissa borgers and israel for u.s. and clarissa while u.s defense secretary lloyd austin, caution, this is not a final decision. it is certainly sending quite a message it is jake, it is a very public message and it is a very pointed message. and it's a definite departure from the policy that we've seen over the past few funds were the biden administration has tried to publicly support israel, but privately apply that pressure. >> now you've mentioned several is officials have been privately talking about their frustration at this on public platforms, they are being a little bit more diplomatic about it, although we did here
1:31 pm
from israel's ambassador to the u.n. >> he was speaking to israeli media. he called the decision deeply frustrating, although he also acknowledged the political realities that president biden is facing. the real question becomes does israel heed the warning? there have been many instances where the biden administration has really tried to pressure israel, has warned israel and israel has gone about doing things in the way that they see as being the best solution for them. so it remains to be seen whether they will heed the warning, but we have seen jake over the past few months, the impact that these 2000 bombs have the number of civilian casualties entire city blocks flattened households, destroyed and so the i hadn't really making it very clear that they do not want to be a part of that. if it goes ahead and raffa it which is something that they have described as a red line and have been warning israel well, against for months we're
1:32 pm
hearing these conflicting accounts about activity at the kerem shalom border crossing between israel and southern gada, gaza it was closed after an attack on sunday. >> it seemed to have been a rocket attack of some sort by fomites that killed is really soldiers, although like i said, conflicting accounts. what can you tell u.s so it's interesting because yesterday the state department, the us state department, said they heard that israel had promised to open kerem shalom. >> today, we saw colgate, which is the israeli agency that's sort of charged with overseeing delivery of aid. they said that the border crossing was open, but then we heard again from the state department and the u.n. saying that they had not heard of a single truck of aid being able to get into raffa and the concern now of course, is that you're going to see a dramatic catastrophic situation as medicine is unable to get in, as food is unable to get in, as fuel, which we talked a lot about earlier on in this
1:33 pm
conflict is not able to get in the who came out today and said that they believe the hospitals of southern gaza will only be able to function for three days. and that's really two more days from now without getting fuel. now there had been some pieces of trucks getting in from arras in the north, but again, the capacity and the amount that is needed, keep in mind 500 trucks day hey, on average, before october 7th, so obviously we are now in a drastically different reality, hundreds of thousands of people in an absolutely desperate and critical situation. and aid agencies really sounding the alarm that we need to see that aid going through kerem shalom because obviously the raffa border crossing is closed again, it seems like the differences between the ceasefire proposal agreed to by hamas and the one agreed to by israel. that it's just a insurmountable perhaps cia director bill burns is in region trying to bring some
1:34 pm
sort of agreement. he recently met with prime minister netanyahu just today. >> do we know 20 achievements made and closing these gaps? we know that he met with prime minister netanyahu that after that meeting, president of the war cabinet here in israel convened. >> we know so that burns, the director burns is on his way or perhaps now is actually arrived back in cairo. so you can see the flurry of activity. doha, cairo israel back to cairo, there is a crushing pressure and a real desire diplomatically to try to find a way to close the gap apps that exists. but at this stage, we simply don't know how surmountable are insurmountable. they may be the two key issues that we talked about before. the issue of those thirds be three hostages, would they be dead or alive? and the issue of whether israeli forces would pull out of the gaza strip altogether. those are the two crucial areas of disagreement. jake all

1:40 pm
league president's last december from penn and harvard over their testimony about antisemitism on college campuses just like some college presidents before that sat in the very same seats they also, in many instances said the right thing, but then we watched the tv monitors and america watch the monitors of their campuses on fire with hatred so yeah, it's time for man has been closely following. today's hearing and brings u.s. to this report turmoil like colleges has gregg headlines for weeks, but now congress is looking at the lower grades, k through 12 and growing reports of anti-symmetry because i'm there, i can hardly fathom sending one of my sons to school knowing he'll be exposed to vile hate filled discrimination. >> the republican led committee called school leaders from three predominantly democratic areas and grilled them about
1:41 pm
anti-semitic incidents, making some jewish students and teachers feel targeted, pressured, victimized people i like saying and passing in the hallways, it's like, oh, what's it, lawn, one example, a pro-palestinian walkout by students at new york city's hillcrest high last year, which allegedly was aimed at a teacher who had shown support for israel after the hamas attack in october, how can jewish students feel safe at new york city public schools when you dan even manage to terminate the principle of open season on jews high-school bod from the hot seats, the new york public schools chancellor said, hold on, the principal was removed students were suspended. i condemned clearly what happened. i'd hillcrest was a complete act of anti-semitism. it will not stand on my watch. >> another question, what about teaching around the phrase from the river to the sea in a class about middle east conflict the anti defamation league says it's a call to eviscerate
1:42 pm
israel, but many palestinian say it's a call for justice, giving that's an appropriate thing to have on a slide. for students. >> so we definitely believe that it's important to expose our students to a diversity of ideas and perspectives. and if it was presented as a perspective, i do think it's appropriate i mean, it's such back-and-forth some democratic lawmakers finally, let loose i work in an institution that teaches hate, accusing their republican colleagues have suddenly embrace seeing this important issue only after years of ignoring similar complaints of bias from women and racial minorities and dodging problematic statements from their own party's presidential candidate, who only a month ago said any jewish person that votes for biden does not love israel. and frankly should be spoken to if my colleagues care about anti-semitism, they would condemn and denounce these comments from the leader of their party by the time it was all over democrats came out, rolling their eyes at what they called rank hypocrisy.
1:43 pm
>> and many republicans came out patting themselves on the backs if dare we say it? jake, their weakness over this issue. >> all right. tom, for it. thanks so much. let's bring in franklin for staff writer at the atlantic has recent cover story, the golden age of american jews is ending. examined the threats of antisemitism from the left and the right. franklin good to see you so college campuses have gotten a majority of the attention when it comes to anti-semitism in the wake of october 7, not so much local k through 12 school systems, the chancellor for new york city schools to suggested that today's hearing is the ultimate gotcha moment and not a venue for real solutions what do you think? >> do you think? without hearings like this, local school leaders would be aggressive in tackling anti-semitism and their schools, or is, this, is this needed? do you think i mean unfortunately just listening to that back-and-forth, you see the ways in which everything in our politics is mediated through these partisan lens. >> it's all about scoring points. it's all about teams
1:44 pm
and about whose team is more piera than the other team. and so we get stipulate that a hearing like this is probably not the best forum for talking about an issue as raw and complicated as anti-semitism. >> but i'm, but it is an incredible problem within k12 schools. >> it there are lots of teachers who are teaching very one-sided views of the conflict. and in the course of teaching a very passionate, partisan view of the conflict they end up reducing things to jews being the bad guys in the story. and when kids here that process through their adolescent or pre-adolescent brains that use are the bad people. it ends up resulting in bullying and in a lot of these districts, there is an epidemic of bullying of jewish kids that are happening i'm sure today will put a stop to that are caused officials to take it anymore seriously, but it does deserve to be treated seriously. >> so you heard the time form and report with the berkeley school superintendent saying the frehse river to the sea,
1:45 pm
from the river to the sea can be taught as a perspective. some palestinian see that chance is a call for freedom and peace and justice for or why don't know about peace, but freedom and justice for palestinians from the jordan river to the mandate attorney and c2b experiencing freedom obviously there are a lot of israelis and a lot of jews and a lot of others who think no, no, no, that's a call to obliterate. is what do you think of what, the berkeley superintendent said unfortunately, i just don't believe her that in a lot of the school districts that's being taught as one perspective. >> i think there's a lot of evidence in berkeley& in other bay areas schools where you have teachers who care passionately and understandably about this conflict kind of taking over entire classrooms to teach it. so in oakland for instance, there's a teach-in that happened where it didn't matter if you were in a chemistry class or a social studies class, your classmates
1:46 pm
joining to hear activists talk about how important it was to take action on this issue. and if you're a jewish student in a school like that, you start to feel incredibly isolated. the price of participating in your class and not getting singled out for being a bad person is that you somehow have to abandon a religious perspective or somehow suppress your identity yeah, what seems odd about it also is it such an opportunity for education, right? and certainly the palestinian perspective is an incredibly important one, especially now. but there also is an israeli perspective and an egyptian perspective and a jordanian perspective and on and on and on. it's an incredibly complicated conflict. and it seems odd to teachers, wouldn't embrace that idea as opposed to going with a simplistic narrative. but before you go franklin, i want to ask you a lot of the democrats, you heard them bringing up a past anti-semitic remarks from the republican colleagues bringing up the trump met with a holocaust denier and anti-semite and racist named nick fuentes at
1:47 pm
our logo kanye west saying himself things that were anti-semitic about like if you're an american jew and you vote for biden, you hate israel and you hate your religion i listened to both sides and i thought both sides had good points. but as you say, it's covering this through a partisan lens is dishonest because they've gotten anti-semites on both sides. of course they do well, let's not treat it as separate problems. it's the same problem when donald trump was president and he talked about very fine people on both sides and he met with the holocaust denier and he takes part in this terrible tradition of leaders trying to separate the good news and the bad jews he was opening up the door anti-semitism was something that had been that many analysts thought was dead in america. it was not going to be a factor in our national life, but in the last 15 years, because very powerful people, including the former president, have legitimised anti-semitic
1:48 pm
things, anti semites. they've winks at white supremacist that the lock on the chest holding it in anti-semitism has broken free. and so some of the anti-semitism that we see on the left, right now, i think you could say as part of this broader cultural phenomenon, we have where something that was taboo is no longer taboo and infection has begun to spread much more rapidly. and unfortunately, many, many people are to blame. >> yeah. and the horseshoe theory, right? american politics is not on on a horizontal spectrum. it's a horseshoe and you have in the middle, for instance, isolationism or antisemitism you find a lot of compatriot msm and that little area, franklin forward always good to have you on. thanks so much sienna. >> it's john king went back to about around michigan and he spoke with the same younger voters who had strong views of the 2024 raise five months ago. what are their feelings now while they're not the same, jonny latest installment of all over the map isn't it? next
