wear a helmet? >> jake wears a helmet and the lead starts right now close biden campaign draft but and 50 million on new tv ads attacking trump and battleground states elite starts right now we are ten days away. the very first debate between president biden former president trump, the attacks are ramping up with both candidates going on offense and the campaign trail and on the airwaves biden campaign, launching a brand new advertising attack, calling trump a convicted criminal and dozens of wildfires across california, burning thousands of acres, displacing more than 1,000 people, while millions across the country are bracing for record bright breaking dangerous heat. >> what's the rest of the summer? >> we're going to be like plus southwest plane plunges within 400 feet of the ocean off the coast of hawaii. what caused this incident and why are we only finding out about it? welcome to the lead on jake tapper, the 2024 campaign, tension quickly ramping up between president joe biden and former president donald trump. it's almost as if they're getting ready for the first presidential debate here on cnn next thursday or something. >> today, the biden campaign dropped a new tv ad directly attacking donald trump for what happened after the new york jury got their hands on the case this election is between a convicted criminal who's only out for himself and a president who's fighting for your family this follows biden's hollywood fundraiser saturday. >> we're buying brought out the star power jimmy kimmel, jack black, george clooney until you are roberts former president barack obama, all backing biden. many of them warning democrats at the us supreme court could become even more conservative if trump wins and other term in november. meanwhile, trump on the offensive two, he spent saturday in michigan looking to fracture biden's support among black voters, and then he and his allies spoke at a turning point, action convention where he blasted biden on every issue from the economy to a questions over biden's mental fitness the monthl mortgage has doubled and tripled even. we added it to the word inflation means. i don't think if you gave him a quiz today, trump is hosting a special guest at mar-a-lago house speaker mike johnson, cnn's meloni's known as on capitol hill frehse melanie, what exactly is one agenda for this meeting between trump and the house speaker? we'll take the goal of the meeting was really to get on the same page ahead of november. i'm told that speaker mike johnson, as well as richard hudson, who was the head of the house gop campaign arm really greek to trump on a number of key house races and trying to coordinate with him about how they can only keep the house majority, but also expand it, which of course is going to be critical for trump if he wins the white house and wants to enact his legislative agenda, let me read you part of the statement from speaker johnson that he put out on social media, of course, with a picture of him and trump's smiling and putting up with thumbs-up. johnson said, are party is united and working together. i am confident we will send president trump back to the white house, win back the senate, and grow our house republican majority. now, last week when trump was here on capitol hill, he did vowel behind closed doors to lawmakers that he would do tele-town halls and do anything he can to support candidates. but of course he's not going to be an asset. and every single congressional race. so another they're part of this meeting was trying to figure out where trump could be the most helpful and also ensuring they're aligned because trump hasn't always been on the same page as republican leadership. in fact, he is endorsing a primary on it to bob good, the head of the house freedom caucus, who endorsed ron desantis over trump and also led the effort to oust kevin mccarthy as speaker. but of course, this meeting, jake also comes in the wake of trust trump's hush money conviction in new york and shortly after that verdict, he did call, according to sources, johnson and say sort of generally, we need to do something about this. now. >> cool, perhaps not so coincidentally shortly after that, the republican leadership in the house began gauging support for a bill that would allow current and former presidents to move state-level cases to federal court that bill we should note had been sitting in committee on a shelf since september. they only pulled up now, in the wake of the verdict, i did ask johnson if trump had asked him to act on that bill, but he insisted that this was a member driven effort. >> jake. all right. no one is no, no. on capitol hill. thanks. let's discuss more about the trump campaign with cnn's alayna treene at the turning point action conference on saturday. steve bannon, former trump white house aide, trump confidant, trump i don't know if the brain trust of maga, there's so many years defender? yes, exactly. so many things you could call him. he made some rather incendiary mark remarks. mr. o'bannon tell us what they were and how that fits into trump's strategy, especially with the debate just ten days away. >> while steve bannon really went in on the retribution rhetoric key actually called. he said the election on november 5 would be judgment day and said january 20, 2025, would be accountability de take a listen to exactly how he put it. >> november 5 is judgment day january 20, 2025 is accountability day going to get every single receipt? >> and to the fullest extension of the law, you are going to be investigated prosecuted, and incarcerated. ladies and gentlemen, it's very simple. victory or death victory or i mean, very strong language from steve bannon. of course. we've covered steve bannon a lot over the years. we know this is, part final exactly the incendiary language he likes to use, but it's also it's not just the steve bannon's of the world who have been using this language, even donald trump himself has said that he thinks it would be appropriate to try and prosecute his political opponents. he was brought up joe biden himself by saying, i think it'd be appropriate for me to maybe take action after them. so this is the same type of language we've heard from noxious donald trump's fear says defenders, but also from people inside his camp and him directly. now as we look ahead to the debate i haven't told him my conversations with trump's campaign that the language around his legal battles and retribution and revenge, they recognize that that's likely to come up. of course you're still working on your questions. we'll see what actually ends up being the topics next week, but they have been having policy discussions behind the scenes, including last week, donald trump met following his meetings with house and senate republicans in dc. he met with senator marco rubio and senator eric schmitt, as well as his to co-campaign managers to talk about jake and you worry six and how to frame the response and the messaging around that i'm told they're also doing those policies discussions around this type of language, around retribution, as well as his legal troubles. and so even though donald trump's campaign is arguing, they're not actually doing debate prep they are having these conversations behind the scene and know that they need to figure out what the best languages to message on that for when he is on that stage with joe biden. >> interesting. alright, i'll industry and thanks so much are panels here to discuss and matt, you hear steve bannon's comments at the turning point action conference and then there's this banding in. got a call from trump today while he was live on air talking with arizona senate candidate kari lake. take a look carry hanger force. >> i get i got a call from somebody got to take just to hang on okay. >> hey, mr. president, i'm live on tv back call you back, sir. >> thank you carrie continue on. >> your favorite person so steve bannon clearly back in the trump fold, trump calling him what would a second trump presidency look like if bannon its back in the inner circle, do you think i mean, i'd be surprising see ban and ends up back in the inner circle. >> are these sort of two folks have been essentially frenemies for lack of better words for quite some time he was fired by donald trump. he was slopping steve for amount of time before he was once they come back in the fold now, certainly heat. here's what donald trump goes steve bannon and i worked with him on the 2016 campaign the hyperbolic comments are part or for the course with steve, it's how it gets attention. it's how it keeps ratings. and his listenership. the folks who are tuning into a show every day does go very deep into the maga. universities are the hardcore, hardcore supporters of donald trump in the movement donald trump recognizes that, he recognizes that steve bannon is talking to those folks every single day. i don't think it means steep bands can be dictating i'll see you in the white house though the way we saw in the first six months of 2017, he is much more likely to be for lack of better words and ally on the outside that can echo what's happening in the white house to the die-hard of that base. what do you think? >> listen, i think donald trump sure. they are frenemies, but donald trump is diesen, steve bannon to say the things that he can not say, which is this victory or debt that is extremely certainly concerning. that is a language that led us to january 6. and steve bannon is telling us what donald trump wants to be able to say, but right now, he's probably being advised that he can't. but the people who support donald trump want this to be unfortunately, and donald trump actually did say this a bloodbath come come after the election, whether or not donald trump blends. and so it's really concerning that he is continuing to use the bannon and prop them up as a voice for the republican party right now, i think he said an economic bloodbath. >> he did. he was talking with the auto industry no. higher, but it's still a rather potent word. >> matt, in a new political ipsos poll, 21% send him independence and trump's conviction made them less likely to support trump. >> and then it would be an important factor in their vote. now, on one hand, that's only one out of five, but on another, this is this racist, probably going to be won or lost on the margins with 5% of the black vote doing this and 10% of independents doing that should that worry republicans? >> so a look, you'd never want to see any issue outside of your wheelhouse being brought up. however, as someone who not just speaking as a republican but a practitioner politics if i look at a poll, you traditionally want to see if a message is moving voters over 50% to be less likely to support another candidate. 21% is almost nothing. in fact, it really speaks volumes at the biden campaign is out with that new ad today, given how few voters seem to be willing to change their mind over that, what it tells me is this is purely a goal to try to reengage his base right now is down on the biden administration because whether it's what's happening in the middle east or whether it's economic policy or unfulfilled commitments, you name it, that it's speaking to the base much more so than any of these swing voters you really want spend $50 million for example, on an ad that's just trying to change the potentially change the votes of 21% independent voters who may already be leaning towards biden anyway, do you agree? >> do you think this add this add this new $50 million blitz from the biden campaign going after trump calling him a convicted criminal are convicted felon, whatever they say do you think that that's based on getting enthusiasm for biden at trump's expensive where do you think it's aimed at suburban women, et cetera? i think it's a combination of both. the reality is the biden campaign couldn't actually put an ad like this out until there was a conviction. and also, we're getting closer to election day versus months ago. and this is when folks are paying attention democrats and independence and swing voters have actually been saying to the biden campaign that we want strike forceful defense, posturing. and this is actually that piece and they're listening to it and those swing voters who needs to understand that president biden actually does have a position on what is happening with donald trump in addition to lifting up all of the achievements, this is a very clear message to those folks who are concerned about safety and concern about who was leading the country i think this ad actually makes that point mix now, meanwhile, trump himself was in detroit over the weekend. >> he unveiled as black americans for trump coalition. if he can weaken the black vote even five or 10% in places like detroit are familiar, milwaukee he could improve for you could improve his chances to win those battleground states. we saw. and i think it was less defections to trump and more just staying home, but we saw a similar phenomenon in 2016 with hillary clinton in the black vote. >> yeah, look, i think it's i don't trump what happened this weekend. it for me felt like an embarrassing minus someone who equated economic policy to crime, that is literally what he associates with by communities. he was asked a question about black, black entrepreneurship and he answered it around crime. he also lied about the low unemployment rate and black communities when the reality is according to the us bureau of labor statistics, it is the lowest under president biden. i think the reality is that you're seeing black voters understand who donald trump is. we are a lot smarter than donald trump wants to play kate towards. and so, while it might be a small percentage, i don't think it's going to be enough of a percentage that is going to shift the entire election to donald trump. and i do think democrats are leaning more into the messaging of the work that we have done for black voters. and we'll see that ramp up between now and election day. >> you agree? no. i look, i worked on that campaign 16 worked in michigan actually, as as one of the states, i'll tell you that if donald trump is 20% of the african american vote on which is which is the polling that would carry enten was freaked out to it, not freaked out, but stunned by of trump polling with 20% with black vote in pennsylvania and michigan, i believe that's right. >> if he gets that, he wins he wins michigan. >> he wins pennsylvania. he's winning the white house. he won those states in 2016, receiving around five, 6% of the vote. i'm sorry, i apologize, closer, 8% but which was a new record high for republican candidate. certainly if he makes inroads even if, let's say he takes some losses in places like oakland county outside of detroit, which has primarily white, primarily voters with college degrees, groups of voters that donald trump has actually lost some votes with. if he's now gaining upwards of 121314 per cent more among the african american community. this election is over joe biden knows that it's why you see him on defense the last few weeks, go into a number of voters, number of events, but the nwa cp, as a reason to see donald trump going on offense and not just a one-off way been a true sustained tactical way, which could actually win some of these votes. >> let's not necessarily defense joe biden actually got to the white house working with the coalition of black voter groups with the end of lacp and young progressives and all of these coalitions actually made up how biden one. and so it's not necessarily defense, but it's more of us saying with our whole chest what president biden has done for black voters stick around both you were going to bring, you back for the panel. but right now, president biden is meeting with the top nato official at the white house. what we're learning about their meeting and how much us allies are spending on defense these days. and the dramatic can be gills inside the israeli hostage
