Its like 90 Approval Rating. The campaign wants to see these pictures broadcast of them arriving to charlotte on air force one together, descending the stairs together, then shoulder to shoulder on this stage at this rally in the key battleground state of North Carolina. At the same time donald trump is also going to be in North Carolina tonight in a different city, in raleigh. And hes been tweeting out criticism of the Obama Clinton trip. His latest tweet says taxpayers are paying a fortune for the use of air force one on the campaign trail by president obama and crooked hillary. Total disgrace. To be honest this comes up whenever a president uses air force one for campaign travel. But heres how it breaks down. Its the same for everybody. Although the rules have changed some over the years. In fact, while president obama has been president the amount that a Campaign Needs to kick in to that total cost has been increased. So air force one is very expensive. It costs more than 200,000 an hour. Even for Something Like this, yes, the taxpayer has to foot the bulk of the bill. Part of that is because this is the only way the president can travel. For security reasons he has to use air force one. Because this is a campaign event, the Campaign Needs to kick in a big chunk of it. Its basically broken down as how much would it cost for the company to rent a plane this size for this amount of time. They need to reimburse that to the taxpayer. But this is an event, the first time the president will be on the campaign trail. For months the white house has been asked when is he going to get out there and campaign for Hillary Clinton. Were going to see that today. The question is, how hard will he hit trump and will he finally mention him by name, something he does very rarely . Donald trump is still defending the use of that controversial tweet that critics say is antisemetic. Whats mr. Trumps new line of defense . You remember first he blamed the media, then he lashed out at Hillary Clinton for stirring up the controversy. And finally the campaign has offered up an explanation as to who put up that tweet and how they got it. Donald trump firing back at critics who say the star shape evokes antisemetic imagery, calling the attack false and ridiculous. Trump single out Clintons Campaign which called his tweet blatantly antisemetic and part of a pattern. Donald trump says the former secretary of state is trying to divert attention of dishonest behavior of herself and her husband. The Trump Campaign has invoked invoke ed big got now says he selected the star, not the jewish star of david but as he called it a sheriffs badge. He said in a statement the image was lifted from an antihillary twitter user where countless images. Appear a appear. The same graphic tweeted by trump appeared ten days earlier on a message board filled with antisemetic conspiracy theories and neo nazi ideology. Why is your Fact Finding Department focusing on fiction and how a major president ial campaign can be looking at racest websites or antisemetic sections of Online Sources and using it to find content to share with the american public. Trump deleted the tweet, replacing the graphic with a circle instead of a star. There is no antisemetism in mr. Trumps body, not one ounce, not one cell. No apology from donald trump for offending jewish groups. Donald trumps critics say someone that that campaign should have known if you pair a six point star with money thats going to evoke antisemetic imagery. Mr. Trumps social media director, does she have any experience doing that . You said he was a former caddy for mr. Trump. This isnt the only misstep that donald trump has had in terms of putting out tweets. A lot of people with questioning wheres the oversight. With me now jeffrey lord. Happy day after the fourth of july. Right back at you. We were just talking about mr. Trumps social media director. He has taken the fall pr mfor m trump. He said he lifted the image from an antihillary twitter user. I have to confess im not a social media type. What i know about dan scavino, who i do not know personally. Hes a great guy. He clearly made a mistake here. When i saw this without knowing the controversy that is exactly what i thought it was, a sheriffs badge. I grew up in an era when the sixpointed star was used on tv in a Popular Series as the sheriffs badge. I might add on the democratic side they play fast and loose with racism and antisemetism all the time. Right this minute theyre dealing with antiisrael delegates on the platform committee. Jeffrey, jeffrey, clearly the trump people thought it was a problem or they would not have changed the image. Yeah. If it was really a six pointed sheriffs star it should still be there, but frankly its not. They changed it to a circle. I suppose thats sort of admitting its a problem. Really isnt the deeper problem jeffrey is that his social media director is a former caddy and dont quite know what hes doing . Everybody deserves a chance in life. Everybody has definite jobs. Everybody was once somebody. I was a bellboy for heavens sakes. Did you feel the same way they got i mean, all these other candidates with all the money and all the social media experience in the world are not going to be the president ial nominee. Theres something going on here thats working. Tara, you were saying . Yeah. I just cant. You know, when i heard this sheriffs star nonsense yesterday that this was the excuse, i looked at my husband, who is a federal Law Enforcement officer, by the way, who was very offended by the implication that a sheriffs star was what this was instead of the star of david. The first thing he said when he looked at that was, a sheriffs star has points on it. Thats not true. Most of them. Yes. Come on. Give me a break, jeffrey. Just stop it. This is one of the nonsense excuses this campaign is using to make up for their incompetence and the fact that they are running an amateur hour president ial campaign. Every single week you and other supporters have to come on cable news and make excuses for donald trump and his kpaif yobehavior. Why would you use a sheriffs star to insult an opponent . Thats an honorable symbol. It doesnt make any sense. Why put it over money . On a weekend when shes being investigated by the fbi i hear you. Let me just interrupt you two. Let me interrupt you two. Jeffrey, you bring up Hillary Clinton being, you know, interrogated by the fbi for 3. 5 hours. Because of this mistake, because of this tweet, the attention is diverted away from that. Because of this social media director who has taken the fall for mr. Trump, were not talking about that. The Clinton Campaign wants to divert the attention. The Antidefamation League diverted the attention. If were talking about a misplaced tweet or being investigated for criminal actions by the director of the fbi himself, hello, and the first president ial nominee ever to be in that situation. I think were talking about things that are a little out of proportion here in terms of coverage. This is not the first time. If this had been a oneoff, maybe you could excuse it away. But this is not the first, second, third or fourth time that donald trump has gotten in trouble for retweeting things from a white supremacist white. Were supposed to be better than them. Why do you continue to support someone that keeps dragging this campaign into the mud in a way that is an embarrassment to the conservative movement . This is not the first time. What about when he retweeted from someone named White Genocide . Not once, but twice. Youre telling me that donald trump didnt recognize that name. Tara the Disgusting Things on social media coming from trump people to people like myself. Why dont you ever criticize okay. Im going to end the battle. Still to come in the newsroom, a fire rages and a country reels. Suicide bombers strike several targets in saudi arabia all in one day. Some people say its islam itself thats the real target.

A horrific end to the muslim holy month of ramadan has islam itself comes under siege from isis and those willing to die for isis. Suicide bombers launched three separate attacks in saudi arabia. The most shocking attack at the religions second most sacred site. After urging its followers to wage terror during ramadan, attacks have circled the globe and killed hundreds from orlando to europe to asia. Lets begin with Becky Anderson. While not all of these attacks have actually been claimed by isis, it was that chilling warning by the groups spokesman released by audiotape in late may calling for a month of attacks that has proved to be the precursor to so much carnage. One in five people across the globe are muslim and ramadan is meant to be a month of peace and reflection. This year it has been anything but. What do we know about this medina attack . My sources tell me this was a lone attacker. He was stopped by security personnel as he approached the exit of the prophets mosque. He was stopped and questioned and detonated his device. He killed a number of security guards. Were he to have made it into the mosque, he would have been among tens of thousands of worshippers. And the resultant carnage might have been the speck ltacular hor that isis have been calling for. While this is not the most deadly of the attacks during this ramadan month, i cannot over state the impact this attack on this missing will have had on muslims around the world. One saudi expert said what more evidence do muslims need than an attack at one of the holiest sites to say enough is enough and to weed out those who might be indifferent to isis. This marks the time for a concerted antiisis coalition with arab and muslim members at its core. It is muslims all over the world who are the victim of these awful attacks. I do have breaking news to share with you and its out of baghdad. Iraqs minister of interior has submitted his resignation. He did that today at a press conference. He cited a lack of coordination among Security Systems as the reason for his resignation. Of course that announcement comes following saturdays deadly attack that killed at least 215 people in baghdad. A truck loaded with explosives was brought into that neighborhood and exploded, killing all of these people. So the fallout has begun, ben. Reporter yes, indeed. It doesnt come as much of a surprise that there was going to have to be a scapegoat for these shortcomings of Iraqi Security that led to the death of at least 215 late saturday night in baghdad. We also heard in this press conference that the truck bomb that was used in this attack did not come from fallujah as many people suspected, but rather came from the opposite direction. It came from the east of baghdad. Its an area where isis does have a presence. But this underscores that the claims by the Iraqi Government that all the car bombs, all the suicide bombers that were plaguing baghdad came from fallujah and all that was needed was to retake fallujah from isis and those bombings would stop. Fallujah has been retaken and now they discover that the bomb came not from the west, but from the east. Overnight iraqi authorities executed five isis members. Their execution was accelerated as part of the governments response to the bombing. They say they have 3,000 people on death row, many of them isis members that theyd like to execute. But a new law has to be passed to accelerate that. The latest in the string of suicide bombings unfolding this morning in indonesia. Thats the country with the largest muslim population. Police say a suspected militant was on a motorcycle. He blew himself up. One officer was wounded. The attack took place in the southern indough muslim citizens in iraq and other places died by the hundreds. Muslims killing muslims supposedly in the name of islam. The bangladeshi Prime Minister is furious. She said what kind of muslims are these who kill others during ramadan. She went onto say anyone who believes in religion cannot do such an act. Their only religion is terrorism. Many americans wonder why the leaders of muslim countries dont do more to fight terrorists who are perverting their religion. With me former deputy chief of mix ga mission. Nice to have you both here. Colonel, these attacks in bangladesh, indonesia, iraq, saudi arabia, do you think they could unite the middle east to fight a common enemy, which is isis . Well, they have the theoretical possibility of doing just that. The Prime Minister of bangladeshs comments about this indicate a real need by islamic states to get together and to really fight the scourge of radical islam. It is a distinct possibility. A lot of countries tr tahave ta the talk. Now its time for them to walk the walk. Irans foreign minister said, quote, there are no many red lines for terrorists to cross. Also the United Arab Emirates minister of Foreign Affairs echoed those sentiments in his own tweet. The time has come to Work Together to save our religion and strip islam from these deadly criminal gangs. Is it possible that countries like iran and saudi arabia who bitter enemies could join together to fight a common enemy . One would certainly hope so. Lets remember that this great war against terrorism has been going on for well over a dozen years now. The principal victims in that war have been throughout that period muslims. One would have to ask, why wasnt this done years ago, certainly at the intelligence level and the security level, there actually has been significant improvement, particularly in terms of collaboration and coordination. When it comes to a unified effort of governments and their peoples, these governments have fallen significantly short. So the attacks near the mosque in saudi arabia, will that make a difference . Well, it should make a difference. This is the second holiest site in islam. Although its not clear, the attacker may have intended to enter the mosque, where as your reporter indicated earlier, thousands could have died. Keep in mind also it comes right at the end of the holy month of ramadan and just before the beginning of the haj when well over t2 million muslims will be collecting in the holy city of mecca just south of medina. They will be very exposed, collected in a very tiny space. The threat will be much greater and im sure the concerns throughout the muslim world today are what could possibly happen this. Colonel, is there anything the United States can do to pressure these middle eastern leaders to come together to fight that common enemy instead of just letting the United States handle most of it . Well, i think thats basically the idea that the joint chiefs of staff, the civilian leadership of the pentagon as well as the white house have had. You have them fight their own wars and have us assist them. We certainly can do things that will allow us to get the islamic states to come together to fight this common enemy. The opening that the United States tried to do with iran with the Nuclear Talks may actually serve to help bridge that gap between the different muslim countries. If we can use that as a unifying force, then we can perhaps indicate to them how to do this and help them as part of a condition of our aide help them achieve the goal of defeating isis. It really is our common goal. Still to come in the newsroom, cnn sits down for a one on one interview with the father of one to have bangladeshi terrorists. And could this be the symbol Hillary Clinton needs . Beyond has a natural grain free pet food committed to truth on the label. When we say real meat is the first ingredient, it is number one. And we leave out corn, wheat and soy. For your pet, we go beyond. Wait no my computer, no, wait, what are we running after . My stupid, old computer. Well if its so old, why are you chasing it . Is it slow . Weigh a ton . Yeah. Well you know. I know. Todays pcs are faster and lighter, i know. So why are we still running . I dont know. You know about it. Now do something about it. Upgrade to a new pc. Oh, charley horse, charley horse. Call for help, call for help. Help, help and good morning. Hillary clinton embarks on what you might call a trust building tour. Shell start her journey with a powerful democratic ally, president obama. Clinton will land on air force one. Shell disembark with the president at her side. Voters simply do not trust her. The latest poll shows more than half of registered voters dont believe she is honest and trustworthy. Welcome to both of you. So rebeck sccrebecca, this is k historic.
