Transcripts For CNNW CNN 20240703

Even when its done our windows. So for Spring Cleaning today, for just 19 Space Shuttle columbia, the final Flight Premiers tomorrow at nine on cnn you are in the cnn newsroom. Hi, everyone. Im jessica dean in new york. We have breaking news out of Northern Gaza tonight where israel is preparing to reopen the erez Border Crossing and to use its port of ashdod to get critical humanitarian aid from israel into gaza. Just hours before the israelhamas war reaches its six month mark this as the un humanitarian aid chief calling the situation in gaza, a quote, betrayal of humanity with 33,000 palestinians in gaza killed and many starving just this week, a deadly israeli strike killed seven humanitarian aid workers from the wellknown aid group world central kitchen, seen as Nic Robertson filed this report from the Erez Crossing when the crossing right behind me. I step out of the way, matches hiv. You can kinda zoom in and take a look thats the erez Border Crossing there on the hill behind you can see one of the towns inside of gaza. Were standing here. And you can hear gunfire in the background. The occasional explosion. So we understand that the idf did have a meeting with the World Food Programme down at the border here on friday, the expectation is possibly sunday, aid trucks could begin to go through here, but they are other challenges. I mean, not least the fact that we can hear gunfire and explosions that tells you that its not going to be very safe crossing over and then theres the issue of the state of the roads. We know from satellite imagery, many of the roads that lead away from the border here have been hit by heavy munitions. The tarmac has been completely blown out in some places. So the logistics of getting those aid trucks and then of course theres the other thing as well. When hamas had that big attack on october the erez Border Crossing was one of the places they targeted. They killed and kidnapped idf soldiers there. They shut up the passenger terminal, various a terminal, a crossing, if you will, more used to be ready to deal with foot passengers than heavy transport trucks. But there is a way to do it but there are other issues to that could come up. Weve seen before that protesters could block the crossing. Thats happened before and other crossings. We know that theres a huge pressure and expectation coming from the white house. Prime minister netanyahu is going to make good on his commitment here. But there are people in his rightwing government who believed the best way to Pressure Hamas and get the hostages bag is not to let the aid convoys in the Israeli Government says, let about 20,000 aid trucks to gaza over the past six months. The un estimates four times that number of aid trucks would have been required under normal circumstances. And the age and the north of gaza in particular is huge. The un estimates some people there are close to starvation. So there is a huge amount of attention focused here. The Israeli Government and said that theyll do it. The white house wants to see them. Actually do it precisely when it happens, how it happens, the problems theyre going to face all of thats unclear. The gunfire right now tells me its not going to be easy. Nic robertson, cnn, the erez Border Crossing. Israel Nic Robertson, thanks so much and frustrations growing within israel tonight, on the Eve Of The War six month anniversary after thousands of protesters took to the streets across the country demanding the resignation of israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Heres cnns Jeremy Diamond with more from tel aviv on the eve of the sixth month anniversary of the october 7 Attacks Thousands of Israelis Have come here to tel aviv to protest the governments a call for new elections, trying to trigger Benjamin Netanyahu, israels Prime Minister, trying to trigger his ouster. These israelis who weve been talking to tonight have been voicing discontent with the Prime Minister with his handling of the war. In some instances others have been protesting against him and his rightwing governments since before the war. Going back to those judicial reform protest that took place for months right here in central tel aviv. Now, the question is, what will all of this pressure actually lead to . The polls show that if elections were held today, and thats an yahoos party would lose significant support, but theres nothing that would actually trigger immediate elections that seems to be on the immediate horizon. We have heard growing calls for elections, including from benny gantz, a member of the war cabinet who was also netanyahus chief political rival. But its not clear that theres anything that would trigger those elections immediately. And so for now, thousands of people here today say raising their voices, voicing that discontent and hoping that something will happen to trigger those new elections and to give them a chance to see a new Prime Minister in office Jeremy Diamond, cnn tel aviv all right. Jeremy, thanks so much. Also tonight, vowing revenge, new threats of retaliation from rons highest ranking commander after israeli war, planes bombed Neurons Embassy in syria this week, those remarks coming at the funeral for seven military officers, members of irans revolutionary guard that were killed in the strike. Now america is on high alert for a Quote Significant Attack by iran in The Middle East that could target israelis or americans scene and White House Correspondent Priscilla Alvarez is joining us live from washington priess. How is the Biden Administration responding tonight to these threats from iran . Because america is tried to be quite clear, it hadnt nothing to do with these strikes thats right. And they are certainly on high alert, as you mentioned, and staying in very close touch with their israeli counterparts. But to your point, the us made clear to i ran that they were not involved in this israeli airstrike in damascus that killed multiple top iranian commanders nor do they know about it ahead of time in fact, a Senior Administration officials saying that the they warned i ran that they should not use this airstrike as a pretax to target or attack us personnel or facilities. Now, again, the us and israel in close contact preparing around the clock for this attack that they view as quote inevitable. It could unfold in multiple different ways. And its unclear when exactly it will happen though officials anticipated could be as soon as next week. And again, it would potentially target us or israeli assets in The Middle East. Now of course, this was a major point of discussion between President Biden and israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in their phone call. This week in the top concern for us officials is that if there were to be a direct strike by ran on israel, that it would rapidly escalate what has already been a very tense conflict in The Middle East. And that is exactly the type of situation that the white house has been trying to avoid. They do not want to see anything occur here that would spark a broader regional conflict. So all of those quite delicate. But the us and israel are doing tonight is keeping close contact as they anticipate this potential attack and preparing for that priscilla, you have mentioned that they are preparing for a possible attack. Have they ordered to repossess the ordered any repositioning of any troops at this time our understanding is that they have not. But again, these are Fluids Situations and ones where they are closely tracking and monitoring every movement here sure. But us just to reiterate that warning from the United States that everyone should not use this israeli airstrike in damascus as a pretext to go after us personnel and facilities. So that is what they are monitoring right now, there havent been any movements that were aware of. All of this, of course it would be targets. Our understanding is in The Middle East, so still very much a waitandsee mode, just jessica Priscilla Alvarez reporting tonight from washington, dc. Thanks so much for that and still the com the countdown to the total Solar Eclipse is on how small towns in The Path Of Totality or preparing for their big Moment Plus Donald and Melania Trump arriving just moments ago, two a florida fundraiser, his Campaign Says will shatter.

You see him there moments ago with former first lady Melania Trump making her first public appearance in months. A source familiar with the details as the event in palm beach has already raised 50 million for the former republican president and heres trump calling tonights Fundraiser A Success Everybody wants to be a very spectacular evening and people are just wanting rich people want poor people wanted everybody wants change. Your country is really doing poorly were laughing stock all over the world and were gonna get that change very quickly. This has been some incredible evening before it even starts, because people wanted to contribute to a cause of making America Great again, again, and thats whats happened. Were going to make America Great again is happening, is the Biden Campaign has announced it raised a whopping 90 in march. And thats on top of its 192 million cash on hand. Joining me now is cnn senior Political Analyst and Senior Editor for the atlantic, ron brownstein, ron, always great to see you. Thanks for joining us on a saturday evening or afternoon as it were where you are can we talk a little bit about this money and the financial advantage that biden seems to have with the fundraising. Hes also not facing mounting legal fees at this point. Yeah. Well, bottle trump, who is a billionaire by his own description, multitude, several times over has chosen to divert political contributions to his legal defense. I mean, there was nothing that required him to do that. And so that has contributed to his problems. Historic correctly. The president ial race is probably been the election in america that is the least affected by the financial advantage of one side or the other, or the amount of ads that one campaign can run or the other can run the assumption among political strategists usually is so much other Information Available to voters and voters are making their decision based on really broad assessments of how things regarding the country that Money Matters less at the president ial level than senate or governors races. But this year i think jessica is testing that proposition because the Cash Advantage for biden has been so extreme and he is now on the air in the Big Battleground States at which the very few without much pushback at all from republicans. So well see whether this Cash Advantage turns into political recovery for biden in those states. But theres gonna be a lot of money available for both sides as this might yeah. Im curious. One, what you make of the fact that americans in poll after poll no one seems enthusiastic, are very few people seem enthusiastic about either of these candidates. Theyre not getting a majority of enthusiasm. And yet they are hauling in these huge numbers. Now some of these are from very, very wealthy individuals. However, both of these campaigns have been talking about these small dollar donations and donors that they have. What, how how do you square all of that well, two words that political scientists use, they call it negative partisanship, right . I mean that essentially at this point, certainly in this election voters are more motivated by fear of what the other side would do. That necessarily he was he asked him about what their own side would do trump, i think does have more enthusiasm among his voters. Then biden does. Among his. But there may be even more fear about trump on the democratic side. And there is here a second term providing on the republican side. So there are obviously people who have interests before the federal government it is striking to see that the super donor class of the republican party, many of which said they were done with trump forever after the january 6 riot, coming back to him, david, very good incentive. Joe biden is saying hes going to let the trump tax cuts expire for everybody over 400,000 a year at the end of 2025 or as trump will extend them, saving people hundreds of thousands of dollars here but by enlarge, i think that each coalition in each coalition, there is an activist core that is a concerned about what a victory for the other side means for their definition of the country, even if that doesnt spread out to enthusiasm among the much larger pool of people who will actually be voting i also want to talk about your newest piece that you wrote this week with Trump Making Inroads With Black and Hispanic Voters. And it appears youre saying to be along the same demographics weve seen with white voters, those without a College Degree, with a College Degree, walk us through what, youre seeing and what you think that means yeah. Well, first of all, i mean, one of the i think in many ways the core dynamic that were watching unfold in this election hasnt gotten a huge amount of attention, which is that a certainly theres been a lot of focus on a Trump Polling better among hispanic and black voters than we have seen. Certainly that he didnt 2020 or any republican really, since the Civil Rights Era in the 1960s, the flip side has gotten very little attention which that biden is generally polling at or better than is 2020 numbers among white voters. So in many ways, the key question in this election as i see it is whether trump can sustain the inroads that beach heads that hes established among nonwhite voters in the spring, kenny sustain that all the way to the fall . Now, whats happening among nonwhite voters is that they are presumably sorting out along the same lines of gender and education that have defined the way whites vote for really the last 40 or even 50 years. And man are were voting more, leaning more toward trump than women. Those without College Degrees or leaning more toward trump than what those width degrees. So what you get is a circumstance where trump at this point is showing enormous inroads among nonwhite men who dont have a College Degree that look like a very difficult group provide not as bad as the nonwhite thats usually the white man without a College Degree. But enough that it is a serious concern and the question is whether biden can push that down a little, but also its important for him to draw a boundary there and not see trump make inroads among the other groups of nonwhite voters, including those with degrees and women. I think that is going to be really important for him, not only in the sun states where the Hispanic Vote is critical, but in some of the rust belt states like michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, where he needs to hold his black load . Yeah. All right. Ron brownstein. Always interesting. Thanks so much. Good to see you. Exactly mean so become independent president ial candidate robert f. Kennedy jr.

Kennedy, jr. Appears to be choosing a new Campaign Strategy and messaging mirroring trumps dangerous strategy when it comes to talking about january 6, kennedy is no questioning whether the deadly attack on the us capitol was quote, true insurrection. Hes floating and conspiracy theories about that day. And on friday, he promised that if elected, he would appoint a Special Counsel to investigate the justice departments efforts to prosecute the rioters the ones you see here, violently shoving officers and forcing their way inside the Capitol Building this just a day after kennedys campaign tried to do Damage Control on a fundraising email that called january 6, defendants quote, activists who have been stripped of their Constitutional Rights joining me now is retired Capitol Police sergeant aquilino go now. Hes also the author of the book, american shield, the Immigrant Sergeant who defended democracy. A sergeant, thank you again for making time tonight and joining us as someone who put his life on the line to protect democracy im curious what your thoughts are. Hearing another president ial candidate questioning what actually happened on january 6 thanks for having me and this unfortunate and embarrassing because neither of those candidates have put a donated for this country. They never served this country in a military or police or capacity. So they dont know what is to be selfless and do things for the people. Or rather they want to do things for themselves and, you know, its embarrassing, you know, that they, had to go this low to pander for books because if they did support the Police Officers, if they did support low in order and the rule of law, they shouldnt be saying any of those things and say they should be praising the Police Officer in and woman are the Capitol Police and all the Law Enforcement officers who defended the capitol on that horrible day. When you see the former president at his rallies where he praises the people who attacked you and your colleagues on that day really lifting them up as heroes instead of in a lot of cases convicted criminals. What goes through your mind . I mean, they use he uses the Police Officer as a pawn theres no integrity in what he says. He chooses and pick went to come out and be spoken about violence but hes the one inciting the violence puzzle time. Hes the one dangling parts prince for the convicted criminals. Attack us including myself on jeremie six so when they say they support the police, which Police Officer referring to, not Capitol Police, because the last time i check, they have reach out to any loss, including those who were injured. So its unfortunately they continue to pander for votes. And you mentioned that the former President Trump has, has said he will pardon the january 6 rioters if hes elected. What kind of message do you think . Thats to this country i mean, it goes back to the same thing as a betrayal. As i speak in my book, american shoe, i had given many testimony in corps. I was assaulted by more than 40 people on january 6. I have gone through the core about 25 21 times already and the judge, i tell the judges the same thing. Want to tell you this is bound to happen. And if theres no consequences for what happened and what they did. These are people that are now hostages. These people or not patriots. This p1 political prisoners. These are people who are convicted felons for attacking the Police Officer who also attack our system of governance and had an abbey because what the efforts and actions that we did on january 6, many law enforce lawmakers would have been killed on that day but to my dismay, and my colleagues, those are the same people who are now supporting the former president. The same guy who send the mob to kill them all. And we put our lives on the line. We risk he lives to protect them. And instead of siding with a Police Officer, the Capitol Police, they have sided with the mob and you said just a few moments ago that you think that President Trump uses Law Enforcement as a pawn. We saw this week of Michigan Police union endorsing him for president what whats your message to that police union and other Police Groups that support the former president if they were in the tonal where i was being attacked by the mob that he, this guy send this, you dont have rest right there on the spot rather than giving in cover supporting him for what he did if the lack of solidarity. Four from my colleagues, people who know better than what happened in the capital shooting happened. And they know full well, who incited the mob they should have not support that type of person because the same thing we have happened to them. Ill be more than solidarity with them rather than supporting a person who does not at all. So point a Police Officer, when was the last time he reached out to capture Police Officer .

And theyve already helped save over 2 million pets attorneys for the last two survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre pleaded their case before the Oklahoma State court on tuesday, both women are 100 years old and are fighting for a chance to argue for reparations from what the state, from the state for what happened more than a century ago heres what we know about what sparked the massacre. It started after allegations that a 19yearold black man at assaulted a 17yearold white woman in an elevator he denied the rumors, but it didnt matter. White residents of tulsa banded together while black residents rush to prevent the accused from being lynched in the following hours, a mob of an estimated 10,000 people came to the Greenwood District completely destroying the prosperous area known as black wall street, seen as omar jimenez spoke with one of the survivors still fighting for justice what do you remember about the time people getting killed and houses property, schools, churches, and stores, getting destroyed with fire. And then someone in the neighborhood send to leave the neighborhood. If not, were going to kill all of the bag people. It just stays with me, you know, just the fear that i have lived in tulsa sense that if i dont sleep all night living there 100 nineyearolds, mother fletcher, as shes known, is one of only two people alive who remember firsthand what the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre was like sitting with us alongside her grandson and nice. How do you think your life would have been different if this had not happened im a little garden education to where i could get a better job especially being a nurse. Its part of why tuesday lawyers for these survivors argued to the Oklahoma Supreme Court that tulsa asked to look at what the massacre survivors lost and make things right and were hoping this court will give us the opportunity to prove our case back in 2022 was when a judge initially allowed part of their case to move forward on if coming fletchers younger brother, known as uncle redd, also was a survivor but in may 2023, on viola fletchers 109th birthday, she was back in court fighting a new motion to dismiss the case i didnt feel very nice about it, but im willing to do that again, you know, and shes being tested on that because a few months later, the case was dismissed. So the families appealed to the Oklahoma Supreme Court, where the defendants argued in part, these individual plaintiffs lacked standing to bring a claim for public nuisance now, a new chance for the survivors naep, but uncle redd died before he got that chance. He passed away in october 2023 at 102 years old. His daughter is carrying on his fight. But the direct ties to what happened in tulsa are quickly shrinking this now replica home represents really the only home built in the 1920s still standing. It was actually built in 1926 after the original owners first home burned down in 19 in 21 race massacre, it really represents what life was actually like for many of those living in this community at the time, the community did rebuild after the 1921 massacre and then this highway built right through the heart of the district as part of federal highway acts in the 60s, dealt it a final blow. The highway separated the Business District from traffic flow, from access what is this highway represents . The second destruction of black wall street. It adds up to about a century lost for families trying to do what families are supposed to do. Give the next a solid head start instead of having a leg up for my father and my father having a leg up for me. We had was setbacks. And he says it can be traced to his grandmother and 1921. Now, throughout the interview, his grandmothers hearing wasnt always perfect. He said, even after everything happened, often have to check that she could hear my questions, but as we wrapped up. All right. You look great. You sound great. Well, good. Oh, you heard that she still has hope the other 109 yearold survivor is Lessie Benningfield randle, her family told cnn in part, we plead for this case to advance let us honor them while theyre still with us. I think we should get justice to be fairer i think the courts should feel the same way when i went to high school, i knew about the Trail Of Tears but greenwood was never mentioned and so i think regardless of what happens, that your all to be commended for making sure that that will never happen again, that it will be in the History Books regardless of what happened as well its now in the hands of the Oklahoma Supreme Court justices to make this decision. And its not just the city of tulsa thats being sued here. Its also the tulsa regional chamber, the oklahoma military department, basically, any other department or group that these survivors feel are responsible here, but just to put things in perspective were not just talking about if the Supreme Court justices agree, then these survivors get their reparations and then its a happy ending for them. This is just for the right to go to trial because if the Supreme Court justices side with these survivors, it just it goes right back down to a Lower District Court and then they begin the process toward a trial, which as we know, takes time and both of these survivors or 109 years old, its time that they may not have a lot of left omar jimenez, cnn, you omar, thanks so much.
