israelis about a security coordination at those land routes as well with the top un spokesman warning that the risks, frankly, he says, are becoming increasingly and tall horrible on the ground. anderson, jeremy diamond, thanks the news continues right here on cnn outfront next, the breaking news, not repeating the bleep show, new reporting tonight about what trump is telling confidence he will not do it. >> cnn's debate two days from now. >> this is we learned about one of the comebacks biden is gearing up to deliver, also breaking polls about to close in the most expensive democratic primary ever the biggest progressive names out in full force aoc sanders warren, is it enough to save jamaal bowman? >> barack obama's half-sister teargassed, live on cnn what happened on the ground there. >> let's go out front and good evening. >> i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. it's not going to be a bleep show while that is from a close confidant of the former president, a direct quote, who tells the bowl works, marc caputova, that cnn's upcoming presidential debate will not be like the 2020 fiasco caputova, who has new breaking details llt a moment. says trump realizes the chaotic debate four years ago, cost and valuable support. force here is just some of what we saw play out justice left, would you mason, who is on your list, joe. >> this don't you write gentlemen, i think on pack. >> i'm not here to call out his lies. everybody knows he's a liar, but you i just want i want to make sure that you what did last let us firstly, i want to make sure i can you let him finish, sir? >> he didn't know how to do that 145 times that is how many times trump interrupted biden or the moderator, 145 times and could put o is reporting tonight. >> is it that maybe different this time tonight, trump telling the washington examiner, quote, i was very aggressive in the first one. the second one, i was different and i got great marks on the second one and in the final, two days before thursday night's debate, the former president says he is not hunkering down, is not spending hours upon hours preparing saying it's very hard to prepare, you've got to know this stuff from years of doing it and i know all the leaders and i know what i know it's largely based on common sense. i think debating is an attitude more than anything else. that attitude will be put to the test? is we are now learning the two podiums will be eight feet apart. now, eight feet apart. think about that. that's not very far. it is much closer than the last trump biden debate during the covid pandemic, when they, when more than 12 feet apart from each other could be the closest they've ever been, maybe at inauguration, it was closer, but it's really close. as for biden, he is leaving nothing to chance. he is ready to push back and he is engaged in formal, traditional debate prep are mj lee is reporting the biden's team believes if and when foreign policy comes up, there is no starker contrast. we even know what one of biden's comebacks might be when pressed and mj is outline is outfront live the white house tonight, and mj, you've got some breaking news on what biden is doing and the thinking here on some of these debate moments. >> yeah, erin, even though domestic issues are really top of mind for the biden team he told by a source that the debate prep sessions at camp david have also focused on foreign policy with jake sullivan, the president's national security adviser, taking the lead on those discussions as the president is prepared for the possibility of foreign policy issues coming up on thursday night. one campaign officials said that when it comes to foreign policy, really the contrast of the president will try to draw against donald trump could not be more strike star. this is how they summed it up. they said president biden stands up to decay traders and defend freedom. trump is a loser who is too dangerous and reckless to ever be anywhere close to the oval office. again one famous trump line, that one source had said is likely to come up on thursday night. is this claim from donald trump recently that he would be a dictator on day one. but aaron, i think one thing that is important to note is that as you're talking about preparing to go up against donald trump on foreign policy matters. one challenge for the biden team is that his positions have actually been quite murky and ambiguous when it comes to gaza for example, he hasn't actually said much when it comes to ukraine. he has said if he had been president putin wouldn't have invaded and he would have resolved the conflict in one day. but he's never elaborated, so all of that goes into the thinking and the preparations and of course, we've reported that mock debates have begun to camp david. the president, is using a podium as a prop, and there are different a's that are playing the roles of donald trump our jake tapper, and dana bash and all of that, of course, is meant to replicate the exact experience of the president could have on thursday. and that is really meant to test him on sunday since as well of stamp as well as stamina as well. >> all right. which obviously is going to be crucial here. >> mj. thank you. and more breaking news on the cnn presidential debate about donald trump's strategy. so let's go straight to the bulwark smart cupp udo, who broke this part of the story. so mark, you've got new reporting tonight that donald trump is then he gets it. it sounds like the confidence close to him are telling you that he has directly told them that he's going to ease not going to repeat that chaotic debate performance in 2020. what are you learning? >> quote, it's not gonna be like last time he told one person who had spoken to me about it. it's not 2020. that's what donald trump is saying. >> his team is saying that he learned his lesson from the rather disastrous debate in 2020 but like in 2020, his debate preparation is not being called debate prep. >> don't call it debate prep. they're calling it policy refreshers he's having informal and formal discussions with five top aides and some others who come in. but overall, it's not like what joe biden is doing not not at all. and you say, obviously they don't want to use the word debate prep so you also report to the extent that he doesn't have anyone playing biden in rehearsals, which is a crucial part of debate prep for moderators, as i can tell you, having done that or for anyone obviously preparing to debate, what do you know about the preparations that are taking place? >> what are these policy refreshers and tail? >> well, the policy refreshers and tail him just having about these hour-long meetings. there's been at least six so far, there's probably gonna be at least one or two more before thursday where jason miller is could top communications adviser, stephen miller, no relation. it was top policy adviser. the campaign co-manager. >> susie wiles two other top policy advisors are in these sessions every day, and then other aids sort of cycle through and then there are special guests who come in and highlight various issues. and so we have a little sense of the things that he's interested in talking about preparing to talk about one of them is abortion. foreign policy is another immigration, obviously another and trade. >> so what he does and how he responds to some of these other questions, like it's going to be in georgia. >> so he's probably going to be asked about whether he won. georgia are not. obviously, he didn't we don't know how he's going to respond, but i'm sure that they're expecting that question to be asked. >> that's right. right. and then and perhaps even they will have no idea he how he was responding until the moment that he does mark you recently, you and i were talking you had reporting about trump's vp shortlist that you had learned that it appeared to have been whittled down to three names. now, you have learned that when you talk about these, you just said hour-long sessions, at least six of them but trump has turned to two of those three to help him in these policy refreshers. >> tell me more right? jd vance, the ohio senator, is there to talk about the america first movement and sort of heartland issues being from ohio, the midwest, the rust belt, being of great importance. >> he's sort of participated or he has participated at least one of these sessions. and then florida senator marco rubio has been there and discuss with him foreign policy and national defense. so specialties of rubio. >> now i wouldn't read in to that too deeply as the fact that they might be favored or disfavored. trump recently said that he knows who he is going to pick as his vp, that vp candidate will be at the debate, but everyone's probably going to be at that debate. >> so we have no idea of who it is or when he's going to make the announcement. >> right. all right. mark. thank you very much with all those new details. now to menu know all about preparing for debate like this. david pollyanna, cki, former chief of staff or senator ted cruz. and for me to former deputy campaign manager for the ron desantis campaign, also the chief strategy officer sort of acts advocacy, which is ironic because david axelrod is here and give a patent, maybe there will be after tonight. we're senior adviser president obama of course, senior political commentator. okay. so let's just go through some of this reporting here. actually, venn diagram overlap on foreign policy which may not be the first place you'd expect it, but obviously they're both preparing their what do you understand here when you look at biden's preparation, very traditional. it is prepared his someone close to them using the word loser to describe trump, unclear whether biden would use that word, but as he ready to play returned fire with fire, he did four years ago. >> i mean, one of the things that i think really benefited him was that he was very much in the moment he pushed back. he had trump on his heels at times and he didn't let trump rattle him in those debates. and that's even more important this time that's the first test for him. so i'm sure that's part of what they're drilling. the other thing is former current president's incumbent presidents tend to stumble in that first debate because they, they want to defend the record. they know more and they want to share all these details so on i'm sure they're trying to rip all that wiring out and say, here's this is how we want to handle this issue. this question, these are the lines we want to land and they're going over it again and again. >> so they were probably ascii when you have here what we're learning marks reporting on trump hour-long sessions so that is prep. i mean, it may not be standard prep, but that is these memorizing things at some level, at least six of them we've got marco rubio and jd vance involved having done this with ron desantis and ted cruz, who have been on stage well, one of them with with trump. what do you make of this debate prep? >> in debate prep, i think look, it's a great example. some candidates need to prep, like their former litigators and supreme court clerks in some need to practice in different ways, maybe in a more entertaining style. and you have to read your candidate and know how to prep them and in this case, i don't think sitting down and mock debate sessions doesn't sound like the trump team feels that's the way to i think they're trying to slip the pill and the apple sauce. they know he has to prepare, but he doesn't like to be prepared. he doesn't like to be handled, so they are calling them whatever they're calling them, but he calls it trump saying debating is an attitude you want a certain level is he right yes. i mean, i think people read how you handle yourself on the stage, whether you're in control of the stage and so on. but it does matter how you handle specific questions and i was interested marks and where they're really eager to talk about it. abortion. i'm not sure they're eager to talk about abortion. got to be ready because that's going to be a major issue. so in classic preparation the key is to anticipate as much as you can. and when you're preparing someone for debate you're comfortable when you hear a question you. know, how your candidate is going to handle that question. i think it must be anxiety producing for both these prep teams because they're not quite sure. >> so the distance i was just looking at you, i was wishing i had my tape measure, so i'd say what we mean from knee to knee were say, three, three-and-a-half feet so eight feet on some level is actually far but for this, for these two and in this setting it's very close where it's 12 feet last time, they may never have been this close together, maybe maybe inauguration and yet eight feet, what does that do? i mean, when you think about when you're prepping before, are you does that distance matter and how do you play that? >> to literally it does, especially when you don't have an audience because it seems and feels even closer, you're in a studio. just the two you just the two of you. and clearly there's bad blood between them. we saw that in 2020, we've seen it escalate over the last few years. but i also wanted to touch on one thing. i think campaigns are about prep and being ready to go in, but they're also about confidence and it's going in. and i think right now, the former president walks in with a pretty significant polling advantage. i mean, at this point in the race in 20 on this date and 20, joe biden was leading nationally by ten points now, donald trump's up by 1% in that holds true in a lot of the battleground states. >> i'm not sure confidence since necessarily as his friend, that's when trump tends to get in trouble, is when he's over-confident. but on this thing about distance, one of the reasons that incumbent presidents and frankly we've never had this situation before but trumped intubate in the primaries. neither of these guys are used to having someone this close in their grill, right? getting them without deference and challenging them. and that's one of the, one of the things that makes it difficult for an incumbent to prepare. now we have two in common and a former incumbent, right we'll see how that goes. >> distance, i guess that is that kind fixed physical proximity when you are a person who is so isolated, each in their own way yes. age is going no matter, age is going to matter you that 90 minutes going to matter for both. we'll see we'll see. but certainly biden's ages is at the front of this, right? everybody is watching to see how he is back in 2019. remember that debate? yes. we asked him about it. i just want to play how we answered the question at the time that was his pat answer here is vice president biden if you're elected, you will turn at during your first term last month former president jimmy carter said he could not have undertaken the duties of the presidency at 80 80-years-old. why are you so sure that you can because i watched it. >> i know what the job is. i've been engaged. look one of the reasons i am running is because of my age and my experience. because it comes wisdom. we need someone to take office this time around. who on day one can stand on the world stage so how does the. >> answer that now he's not going to answer it that way now. but what he can say is look, this isn't about my future, his future. we're both at the ends of our of our careers here. this is about your future in the question you have to ask is is this person going to fight for mayors? this person going to fight for themselves? and that is very, very clear all right. >> well, thank you both very much. we will say i'm sure these questions all will be a big, all all right, next trump-appointed judge aileen cannon failing again to make any rulings in the mar-a-lago classified documents case. >> why? hi trump, white house attorney ty cobb is next. plus breaking news holds about to close in the most expensive democratic primary ever, one that could be crucial for november, it poses it's a serious threat to a top aoc ally and new and graphic video of one of the hostages abducted by hamas at the music festival, the first time his family has had any proof but he is alive, denied his brother is my guess thursday night life for midland. >> the most anticipated moment of selection. >> biden, not drawn run rate american, just the future. is that we are a nation of possibility. >> trump. we had the best economy, we had the best border, we had the best of everything, but now we get to do it all over again. >> we're going to do it even better. >> two very different visions for america. one unprecedented night moderated by jake tapper and dana bash the cnn presidential debate thursday night at nine live on cnn and streaming on max 20 seconds a week to lose 20% of your weight in a year with diet and exercise that's the power of glp-1s through row connect with the provider today at row.co slash 20. some days you can feel like a spectator in your own life with chronic migraine 15 or more headache days a month each lasting four hours or more for botox prevents headaches and adults with chronic migraine before they start and treatment is four times a year in a survey, 91% of users which states started sooner. so why wait, talk to your doctor effects of botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms alert your daughter hunter right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. >> side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain dig, and headache. don't receive botox if there's a skin infection, tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions and medications including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects, chronic migraine still keep you from being there. >> why wait talk to your doctor about botox and get in the picture. >> learn how ad they can help you save a type two diabetes, discover the ozempic tries zone i got the power of three. i lowered my a1c cdi risk and lost some weight. >> it studies the majority of people reached an a1c under seven and maintained it i'm under seven ozempic lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults, also with known heart disease. >> i'm laura, my wrist adults lost up to 14 pounds lost weight. >> i was epic. isn't for people with type one diabetes, don't share their needles or pens or reuse needles, don't take ozempic if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type two or allergic to it to stop ozempic and get medical help right away?
