>> outfront next breaking news, uh, 911, wake-up call a warning signs of an imminent attack this is cnn learns more about the eight men with links to isis who entered the united states through the southern border plus an outfront exclusive tonight on board a russian warships off the coast of the us capable of firing a hypersonic missile. and more than 6,000 miles an hour, we're going to take you on that shift tonight and new details tonight about trump's vp search is number one question, who's best on tv? well, will also tell you who's reportedly playing hard to get to win over trump. let's go out front and good evening. >> i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. we begin with the breaking news. uh, 911 wake-up call, a major terror warning coming into outfront tonight from multiple officials who have been on frontlines are protecting america. the new warnings prompted by the arrest of eight men in the united states with possible ties to isis former cia director leon panetta tells out front tonight, quote, this is a real terrorist threat that must be taken seriously by law enforcement. the goal of isis is to attack the us and they will recruit and train those who have conducted successful and failed attacks around the world. this is a 911 wake-up call and the former director of national intelligence, james clapper, tells us that these arrests of the people from tajikistan are quote, a stark reminder that the terrorist threat to this country hasn't gone away. we cannot take our eyes off this ball. >> and then there's the former secretary of homeland security michael chart off he tells us tonight, groups like isis and al-shabaab are growing membership and financial strength, even increasing territorial control. >> our own homeland security depends on taking effective steps. well, these warnings all coming into night, come after those eight men with ties to isis. were arrested in major cities across the united states, specifically, los angeles, new york i can philadelphia. all of them, every single one of the eight men entered the united states through the southern border. and sources tell cnn that some of the men expressed extremist rhetoric on social media or in direct private communications and we are learning tonight that the discovery of these men's extremist views set off a flurry of emergency actions by federal agencies. >> one major your concern for officials is that these men are all from tajikistan. >> now why is that important? >> it is important because it was isis members from tajikistan that attack that moscow-area concert hall in march, 140 people, more than 140 people were killed. they're building burned and the worry tonight is, is that if they could do that in a country won by a paranoid former spy, a police state obsessed with terrorist threats and coup attempts maybe they could do it here. >> it's a warning that the fbi director, chris re issue just days before those eight men were apprehended in the united states just in the time that i've been fbi director, we've disrupted multiple terrorist attacks in cities and communities around the country, increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland not unlike the isis-k attack we saw at the russia concert hall back in march josh campbell is out front in los angeles and josh, you broke the story today of this heightened concern by us national security officials of a potential attack in this country. >> what more are you learning from your sources tonight? >> aaron we're learning it was the us intelligence community's targeting of isis members abroad that helped this government identified those eight men who are here in the us. of course, recently in congress who was hotly debated whether to strip the us intelligence community of those authorities current and former officials are telling myself and our colleague katie bow lilies that they are sounding the alarm, these arrests come as the fbi director himself says, he can't remember a time when so many different types of threats where elevated all in once would you say that there's multiple blinking red light sat there? i see blinking lights everywhere. i turn current and former us counterterrorism officials increasingly sounding the alarm over concerns about threats to the homeland. >> multiple us officials tell cnn eight tajikistan nationals with possible ties to isis those were arrested on immigration charges in los angeles, new york, and philadelphia the man had entered the us through the southern border and requested asylum, raising no red flags when initially vetted by immigration officials, but it was the later discovery of their potential ties to an isis affiliate that set off a flurry of urgent investigative efforts by fbi agents and analysts coast-to-coast. no specific attack planning was detected. sources said, but senior us officials decided late last week to arrest the men and begin proceedings to expel them from the country rather than continuing surveilling them to determine any possible plot the fbi investigation continues. sources say, along with a renewed focus on threats from central asia. >> and we have seen a number of high-profile attacks and plots, both planned and carried out by tajik nationals acting on behalf of isis-k, several in europe as well as in particular, the deadly attack on a concert hall in moscow earlier this year that killed more than 100 people. >> the recent arrest have also renewed concerns about the vulnerability of the us southern border in 2023, us customs and border protection reported 169 encounters with non-us citizens identified as potential matches with names on the terrorism watch list a broad category of individuals who may have only tangential connections to note extremist, but nevertheless remain a matter of grave concern for terrorism experts in this heightened threat environment, terrorist groups are learning and adaptive organizations. they've identified vulnerability that the united states has. what we need to do is police and target our resources so that we stop people from entering illegally or if they present themselves at a border crossing, ensure they never make it in if they are in fact a terror threat. while officials say the group known as isis-k, an isis affiliate based in afghanistan, has dramatically ramped up its online fine propaganda machine scope of the problem is really massive. the problem since september 11 continued to metastasize the enemy has not stopped there, committed to causing violence and harm to us. we have to be committed to protecting this country now, aaron security officials tell us that it's riskier for groups like isis-k to train operatives abroad and trying to send them in this country, which is why so many of those groups have focused efforts on online radicalization, trying to find the so-called lone-wolf. >> and that is difficult for law enforcement to identify if you have a group of people who are communicating law enforcement can possibly detect those communications much more difficult if you have one extremist who doesn't telegraph to anyone, but they're potentially about to do aaron, josh campbell. >> thank you very much with all that new reporting and our chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst, john miller is out front now for nypd, deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism, gregory is also here. there are cheap security officer of the port authority of new york and new jersey, which oversees all the bridges, tunnels, and airports in this area. also, former fbi section chief of domestic terrorism operations. so thanks very much to both of you. it's a very sobering conversation greg. >> so let's start with the damage what really is at stake here when we were talking before the second began, john said he's never seen of a threat in this area that hasn't come to the port authority. how serious is this right now? >> it's extremely serious. i liken it to a weather front. you're seeing all the right fronts come into play. we have a border issue. we have an idea. and ideological issue. we have isis k, which is increasing there sternal operations. and then we find these individuals who we don't really know a lot about in our borders. but that's what we know. what don't we know? who aren't we seeing that's already here or it's trying to plan to come in and john, i know you've been talking to your sources. i mean, this is not theoretical. we hear these these warnings it is it's real and it could be imminent so there's a couple of three things that have happened in the last two years. >> one, you see the end of the war in iraq. you see the end of the war in syria. you see the end of the war and the us withdrawal from afghanistan. and with that, aaron, you also saw the counterterrorism analysts and operators who are focused on that for so long being sent to other problem sets china, russia, cyber and all of those are problem sets. the problem is during those same two years, groups like ice is k have time to regroup, to rebuild, to read engineer their social media platforms and their radicalization, outreach and redevelop the network. and when you see an attack in moscow, as was pointed out here, yeah, that's a difficult environment for a terrorist group to operate in. and then you see an attack by isis-k in iran and even less permissive environment, then you have to ask, why are we not going to see these targets? that's in the united states and this, these arrests are assigned that that's a real risk. i mean, those eight from tajikistan arrested, right. >> is we're talking about in that news just just days ago it was it was isis members from he said that did successfully attack that concert hall in moscow more than 140 people were killed do you see the real risk of something like that? i mean, they found eight who knows what they don't know? >> we do and it's exactly as john's pointing out, you're watching in the business of terrorism, you want the notoriety, you want the media attention, and we're watching a group like isis-k grow and learn from what they've done, their operations i ran then russia. and then you start to think, what's the next target that would get them the most notoriety that would make the biggest splash for them. it's hard not to come back to the united states. and then they look and his john i mentioned and we've talked about and with our intelligence community partners, the fact that these groups have had time to study. now, look for, our vulnerabilities our gaps, and dual planning. and that's what we're facing and what sorts of things are you most concerned about, john? are you hearing about in terms of the form that this could take? >> i think if you look at the arrest of these eight, it really spells it out because when you peel back those layers, what you have is a rerun. we saw this movie for, you may remember june aid hussein and his plots when you were in the fbi and i was in the nypd, and isis operative who managed to work social media to find like-minded people in the united states, recruit them and then give them the encouragement to do these attacks and there were multiple attacks planned that's what we were seeing with these group of tajiks, where they have shifted to say we're not looking for people from the arab world or with obvious muslim names. we're going to take people who could be from eastern europe or the stands send them to week borders and then start communicating with them. and here's the real the thing, aaron, which is there was a real debate. you've been in this debate do we watch this network? do we see what shape it takes? do we identify the plot? do we stop it? >> and the risk management people look at that and they say, do you have enough control over all of these people? >> what could happen to be able to get in front of that? for certain? and the answer was no, which is why they rolled it up. >> and greg the southern border. all right. that is the heart of this concern right now. it's bigger than that, but that is big, right? and you have all, all eight of these individuals did come over that border how how many more could there be? >> how serious is the southern border risk to you? >> it's incredible concern, as john said, we've been seeing the show before and now we add on top of that and it's not a political issue, it's just is what it is in our business. we have to deal with the facts. we have a border that people are coming freely over and we don't really know who's in there former bi director at once said, and the intelligence business, we're looking for a needle in a stack of needles now with the environment we're in right now, you're looking for that needle on a football field with one eye closed because we don't know where to look. it's just wide open. it's an extreme concern. >> john. >> there have been many moments of great concern in the us since nine lebron why is this moment different? >> it's different because it's all happening at once. aaron, we have a growing domestic terrorism threat. we have acceleration as through are looking realistically to start a race war, to have the overthrow of the us government. and at the same time, we have foreign terrorist organizations who are not just committing acts of terrorism against western targets overseas, but are actively looking at external operations in europe and the united states. we know that from the very near miss of the attack of the cathedral and cologne the planned attack of the parliament in sweden fantastic work of german and german intelligence that shut those attacks down in two other countries. and what we're looking at here is a real effort to take the propaganda opportunities because what's going on in gaza and other places and say, we can stir emotions and get people to act. >> all right? well, thank you both very much. sobering, but important for all for everyone to hear and doing real context around all of this, including the border next and outfront exclusive cnn goes inside the russian naval destroyer that is just 90 miles off the coast of florida, as cnn actually inside russian navy, naval destroyer, think about that. >> russian soldiers were watching our reporters every move we're going to take you

united states with not so subtle nod at his quote, largest arsenal of nuclear weapons meet what actually we have come on acceptably close to the point of no return it wouldn't calls to inflict a strategic defeat on russia, which has the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons. but he didn't demonstrate the extreme adventurism of western politicians sandi, but not two chance is outfront. >> he is live in moscow tonight and mathew, even for putin this is harsh and dark rhetoric sometimes it's a little bit more subtle implied rather than direct. what are you learning about the significance of him saying this now? >> yeah, i think it's pretty significant because it comes as g7 leaders, including president biden meets in italy and talk about a plan to provide ukraine with financial aid using confiscated russian assets in the west. that's something that putin was very angry about. he called it theft and he said that the western states would be punished for that. but look, i mean to be clear, aaron since the full-scale invasion of ukraine back in 2020 to russia has been sabre-rattling talking about the dangers of trying to defeat a new clear armed country like russia, saying it could end in tragedy. and putin was really doubling down on that any speech to the foreign ministry here in moscow, earliest day in those in those fiery remarks, he spoke about western leaders saying they, they don't seem to understand the scale of the threats that they themselves have created. so he's really trying to ratchet up that rhetoric, aaron, he also outlined, i know today matthew, the conditions for a quote, final end is the way he used it for the war in ukraine. but i know that you say you've never heard him lay it out in such a way what does he say? well, i think that one of the challenges about sort talking about why russia invaded ukraine is trying to sort of get clear what they want out of it. and i think this is one of the rare occasions that vladimir putin sort of set out the latest kremlin thinking on that and it is quite a lot. vladimir putin saying that he wanted basically ukraine to surrender vast areas of territory, including the four regions that russia has unilaterally annexed already, we're talking about zaporizhzhia region, kherson region, donetsk and luhansk as well he said he wanted ukraine to basically denounce any ambitions or renounced any ambitions to join nato. eventually, of course, he said he wanted western sanctions on russia to be, to be lifted when all that's sort of clear that that will be done. then he said he would order a ceasefire in ukraine. it's something that's been rejected out of hand by the ukrainians are by nature and by the united way, of course, other times in the past as he fires have been suggested and then violated. all right. thank you very much. matthew, from moscow tonight. and now, as promised, that exclusive asset access that we've gained inside a russian naval destroyer. now this naval destroyers, russian is off the coast of florida right now, near cuba. it is part of that flotilla that we've been following. that includes a nuclear-powered submarine. now there are four ships are now docked right now in havana, cuba. and it comes as the us military in a rare move is announced its own fasttrack nuclear-powered submarine is now nearby at guantanamo bay arriving there our justice morning, patrick oppmann, is there outfront in cuba and you're gonna get to go on the destroyer now several hundred cubans weight in the boiling sun tour, a russian warship russian diplomats told me the public would be allowed to visit the admiral gorshkov, one of the most modern warships and president vladimir putin was navy capable of firing hypersonic missiles, the traveling more than 6,000 miles per hour is the first of three days the ship will receive visitors are rare opportunity for people here to see he up up-close a frigid belonging to cuba's cold war era comrades. get a live, friendly, get abortion after nearly three hours waiting, having my cuban resident id card run through a database by police and passing through metal detectors we're told to board the gorshkov just next to us is the nuclear nuclear-powered submarine because on the first of its kind, to come to port here, the visit of the four russian ships, the largest russian convoy did cuba in years is not a threat to the us both russian in cuban officials say but the us is closely tracking the ships and their movements, assigned in english by the gang plank to the gorshkov says the ship's quote, main purpose is combat operations against enemy surface ships and submarines. >> although none of the vessels were currently carrying nuclear weapons the cuban armed forces ministry said hello, i say in rudimentary russian to the sailors aboard the gorshkov, we are only allowed on the main deck in russian sailors watch or every move a deck above us, we're sophisticated communications equipment is visible. >> a soldier armed with an assault rifle keeps card jbeil, good these sailors could be fighting in the war in ukraine and seemed to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the caribbean went 11 sailors show me anti rocket defense systems in a cannon. >> they say can fire 23 clubs winners, nearly 15 miles after only the briefest of tours were told it's time for us to disembarks. >> so he done yet you say our goodbyes to our russian hosts as we leave this russian sailor, counselors one-by-one to make sure no one stays behind to learn the secrets of a russian warship station, just 90 miles from the the us coast and it is pretty incredible a trick that you are there and you were able to go on board this you know, that they were allowing people in cuba to go on this destroyer top of their line has anything like this ever happened before? >> no, we've never seen my 12 years of living here at convoys large as this one a cubans say that they've never remember a nuclear-powered submarine coming here ever even during the height of the cold war, the height of the russian presence here and then have three days we're hundreds of cubans really anybody? wanted, to could wait and then go on and film away. we were encouraged to fill with our phones. so this is sending a very powerful, not very subtle message. holster cuba about vladimir putin's intentions and as well, of course, to the most important intended audience here the west the united states have biden administration about the fact that if the west can put lethal weapons on the doorstep of vladimir putin, will he can do the same to them yeah, absolutely. >> and of course, as we pointed out, the us now, putting putting a ship at guantanamo bay. patrick, thank you very much. live in havana tonight. and next we have new reporting from a longtime trump reporter on trump. trump's top three picks for vp and how one of them is actually playing hard to get his if he doesn't want it and i'll talk to a 21-year-old who's

when the competition is a nuclear competition, spying is extraordinarily important the russians were trying to spy on us. >> we were spying on them it's very difficult to determine whom you can trust

today. >> i'm arlette saenz at the white house, and this is cnn tonight. >> new details about the preparations going into cnn's presidential debate by both the trump and biden campaign's the rate now less than two weeks away. cnn, his learning that former white house chief of staff ron klain is leaving biden's prep, which will focus on painting. trump is chaotic and divisive and for trump's part cnn is learning that he is in policy prep sessions, but senators marco rubio and eric schmidt, this is the bulwark markup udo reports for the final weeks of trump's vip stakes have turned into, quote, the apprentice on steroids that three names specifically have risen to the top. those are doug burgum marco rubio, and jd vance. >> all passing what is considered trump's tv test, which is when trump asks people, does he look good on television? >> who's the best on tv? and all three of those men seem to know that. just look at these numbers since may 1, burgum has done more than 30 interviews for trump 30 tv interviews. vance has done 20. rubio, i guess really pulling in third at 13 and there may be a reason for that, so hold for that because i want to bring mark prieto and now's mark, this is you're reporting on this. now, you have spoken to a lot of maga insiders who know what trump is thinking, what he's saying to them so let's start with j.d. vance. what's the current case for and against i mean, there's a lot of things that maga ville really likes about j.d. >> vance, but the big thing is that he's from the rust belt. he's from ohio and in the polling and in the estimation of the trump campaign he just needs to win one one of those rust belt swing states, wisconsin pennsylvania, or michigan. and he win the presidency and ohio being right next to pennsylvania, they feel really good about vance. he's a smart guy. the problem however, is that he's really young, is 39, he is about to turn 40 and he doesn't have a lot of political experience. he's only been a senator for two years, right? >> and his old trump criticism, liking tweets where he called him a do douchey something. >> i don't know why it was kfile had a great report things like okay. >> so but there's that history, but an interesting just to point out, obviously, ohio now red state, but that they think that that could get one of those neighbouring rust belt states that you lay out. okay. now, what about doug burgum, who originally had been running himself and now has been on trump's plane, bennett mar-a-lago, bennett rallies. i mean, really been tied at the hip to him yeah. >> the way it was described to me is they have a buddy buddy relationship. he 67 donald trump is well, i guess today he's 78. yep. they're the closest and age out of the three. he's independently wealthy. he really knows oil policy. he's introduced trump and helped with oil executives who are helping financed the campaign. trump really likes and they just have a good relationship. the thing is, you sort of a black box and north dakota is not really a very big state. it's not a huge media state. they don't have very competitive elections. not a lot of national media. so not much is known about him so who knows what you get with doug burgum, once you put them on the big stage. >> all right. let's get back to lucky or unlucky, 13 will see which it is marco. rubio is appearances, media appearances, which we're so much, so many fewer than burgum or vance you said that is part of perhaps his strategies. so talk to me about rubio yeah to a degree, morgan rubio kinda really doesn't want to go overboard. it's also not a style as opposed to jd vance or doug burgum or they went down to manhattan for instance, during the criminal trial, and be true to appear there. rubio didn't rubio's been a little more standoffish. >> and in fact, trump and notice at one point he had a said to some people, hey, you like does this guy we want it, does he want to be vice president? the word got back to rubio and rubio quickly said, yes. and the case for rubio is pretty vast. the guy is very smart. he's fluent spanish. she's bilingual. one of those 13 media appearances is on telemundo, where he just spoken fluent spanish about the case for donald trump and the republican case he's also been on the big stage, unlike the other two he ran against donald trump in a really competitive republican primary market in 2016. but yes, that's part of the downside, right? he was little marco rubio did insult. how do we say this on television? donald trump's genitalia, albeit by way of the size of his hands the other issue that rubio has is the far-right really doesn't like it. in 2013, he tried to do comprehensive immigration reform. he hasn't gotten a lot of forgiveness for that. and a lot of people see him as a neo kohn sort of a war hawk. quite true if you look at his history and the history of donald trump. but that's the rapper. >> yeah, any certainly, certainly gone much more with trump find ukraine. that would be consistent with anything and the history of marco rubio. >> but, but this whole question of trump's saying, well, who's good on tv? i mean, it fits with everything we all know about donald trump. but what does that actually mean as far as you're hearing it? what's this, what's this? whose good on tv mean? >> well, just means like, who is, who is going to defend and prosecuted my case the best now the thing but donald trump is, he asks a lot of questions. he doesn't answer them. so we really don't know what is donald trump think about the answers. who looks on television? i mean, if you talk to a lot of women and maga ville, women do like j.d. vance's eyelashes yes, i'm not joking. >> and as blue eyes, so he does have more of the look that donald trump is looking for. but as one of the advisers and confidence that i spoke to, spoken to donald trump said, luck, jd vance looks like if you shave his beard, he'll be about 12-years-old and he's lucky, has got those flecks of gray in there. that does matter to them. >> well, and you know what all jokes aside about long eyelashes. we know trump cares about how people look. so i don't know how long eyelashes will go, but it's not just a laughing matter. all right. thank you very much. good to see you, mark thank you. >> i appreciate it. >> all right. and you ever trump picks will have to be sure to not go against trump on a major issue that could decide who wins and who loses. this issue is now so huge for so many single voter voter. issues in america. and phil mattingly is outfront the states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both and whatever they decide must be the law of the land since april on at least one issue donald trump has stayed on message the states now decide on abortion. >> no matter the question, if it's related to abortion and trump returns to what could best be described as an unambiguous goal of ambiguity. >> states are handling it. some states will be more conservative and others will be more liberal. some people will be happy some people will be okay. some people won't be quite as happy some will be thrilled, driven by what three people who have spoken privately with trump on the issue, concede his or recognition of the electoral danger, a hard-line approach to the issue poses this motivates democrats like nothing else. one of those people told cnn he sees it and isn't going to fall into that trap. but for a former president who has managed to publicly hold diametrically opposed views on the issue i'm very pro choice. >> i'm pro life, the messaging to disarm a potent democratic strength doesn't grace of very unambiguous reality trump's first-term record 40 years, whereas top administration officials utilized executive authority to reshape federal abortion policy at home and abroad. >> and i'm proud to be the most pro-life president in american history. >> and its record that anti-abortion advisers and advocates point quick to as a roadmap for a second term and a post roe versus wade america. he's a pro-life president. >> i believe he'll be a pro-life president in the future, also, expanding on aggressive and immediate first efforts to make good on campaign promises tied to abortion during my first week, in office i reinstated at expanded the mexico city policy and we issued a landmark for life rule to govern the use of title ten taxpayer funding. >> has federal agencies with legal policy and funding authority and led by unapologetic anti-abortion appointees deployed a wave rulemaking, guidance and restrictions tied to their policy goals, which the trump white house readily touted and its list of first term accomplishments just days before he left office, all of which occurred before the cornerstone of trump's anti-abortion legacy took place for 54 years. they were trying to get roe v. wade terminated. >> and i did it and i'm proud to have done it. three, trump appointed supreme court justices clinched the reversal of the national guaranteed to abortion access in 2022. yet it's what trump could do on his own that is drawn the most interests from anti-abortion advocates it's like roger severino, a former top trump hhs official. >> we have federal laws on the book books that prevent the interstate trafficking in abortion drugs. it's very clear that's a reference to the comstock act, an 18, 73 law that bans the mailing of the drugs and tools used in abortion. >> the law held no weight. well, roe was on the books. trump had as declined to answer whether he'd use the law despite promising in april to release a statement within two weeks, but a trump doj could weigh a series of interpretations from choosing to prosecute anyone who sends or receives mifepristone, which is used in roughly two-thirds of nationwide abortions, are going as far as to restrict the mailing of any supplies used in surgical abortion it's effectively a total ban on the procedure. >> if we were to have an administration that would actually enforce the comstock act, then we could see every abortion facility in america shutdown mark lee dickson is one of the key anti-abortion activist responsible for promoting the comstock act, lobbying dozens of cities to outlaw abortion through local enforcement of the law. his partner in that effort is former texas solicitor general, jonathan mitchell, author of texas of strict anti-abortion lot and trump's attorney, who argued the colorado ballot case before the supreme court in february. once a friend's theory, comstock has woven its way into conversations all the way up to the nation's highest court. >> this is a prominent provision. it's not some obscure subsection of a complicated, obscure law. >> they they knew about it. everybody in this field knew about it. >> all laying the groundwork for the self-described, most pro-life president in american history. should he win a second term despite his current political message, will have significant authority on abortion issues if he's an office, something he made very clear just one year ago, there. of course, remains a vital role for the federal government in protecting unborn life. and aaron, we saw the political balance. the former president is trying to strike just earlier this week, speaking at an event for a group that claims to want to eradicate abortion. the former president getting two minutes virtual remarks. that's showing up in person, not actually saying the word abortion at all, but making clear that he stood side-by-side with them and that's a critical point here when you talk about the messaging, it's the personnel that will matter more than anything else when the former president, if the former president gets into office and nobody that i spoke to for this story thinks that his personnel is going to look any different different than it did in the first term. what will be different? roe versus wade no longer exists. >> all right. bill. thank you very much next, the 21-year-old college student who's fighting for biden on tiktok and getting up to 15 million views for a post for a minute straight. >> donald trump talked about boat sinking

streaming exclusively on macs tonight, president biden, wishing trunk or happy birthday, writing on social media quote, happy 78th birthday, donald, take it from one old guy to another. age is just a number also releasing a new ad highlighting the fact that trump and biden are three years apart. it comes as poll after poll shows more voters have concerns about biden's age though than they do trump's. but the president is getting some help from a 21-year-old tick, tucker harrison, who's videos pushing back on trump have gotten as many as 15 million views. >> trump is over there with his wealthy buddies at mar-a-lago saying, you get a tax gut, you get a tax gut, you get nonsense. just remember when donald trump said that he would date his own daughter i mean, oh, for a minute straight, donald trump talked about boat sinking batteries, sharks, and water. we have president biden who talks about wanting to lower health care costs, protecting the environment, giving women their reproductive rights back donald trump it's talking about that. whatever that was and harry is out front now, so harry all right. >> just so everyone knows you're in college now. you've just finished your junior year you've posted 560 videos just this year, meaning 2024 signup for biden pushing against his critics so let me just ask you, as someone who just finished your junior year in college, how come, why are you choosing to do this? it's obviously a huge investment of your time look, does this so much on the line right now? and this election is so important. and i think the choice couldn't be more clear. i've said before in my videos and i think this is the easiest choice that americans will have to make in modern american history. look, president biden is incredibly accomplished investing in infrastructure or lowering insulin cause capping insulin at $35 a month. large investment of fighting climate change oral history. i mean, the list is extensive and that's an amazing resume to run on in and of itself then you look at the other side of the race. you have donald trump that convicted felon and the proven sexual abuser, proven fraudster, who is not actually running on anything. he's running on like, oh, i think joe biden's mean to me, the fbi socks and the doj as to me, that's his entire campaign. >> so the thing is so again, you're 21-years-old and a lot of people your age are doing other things, right? and many who aren't don't, don't have this same passion. so biden was ahead of trump by 29 points last time around for voters, 18 to 2029, you weren't even in that range at that point, right. but but he was had by 29 points now we only had by five by five. okay. so when you look at the people that you are putting these videos out and hoping they see why is that why has that plunged? >> i think it's for a variety of reasons. i think that there's like some disliked toward the president right now on a couple of different issues, the middle east and tiktok ban gaza, specifically, and the tiktok ban you think's also yeah. i talked to young people every single night on like debates. i do. and i hear that pretty frequently. but my argument back them is that trump is worse some both of these issues, right? when he was president, he banned tiktok. he had an executive order that would ban it and 45 days president biden's just looking for divestment and with gaza and the middle east, it's tragic. what's happening. but president biden has been in government for decades. he has the foreign politics, foreign policy experience. he knows what he's doing. this is an experienced guy and having somebody who is an office knows what he's doing is important. donald trump can't gauze on a map. >> all right, so when you are i played some of the videos, right? you're pushing back on trump's specifically and you're talking about some of his rants on stage and how he goes from one thing to another. there they implication being there's no connection loses train of thought. okay. but right-wing media has been seizing on moment when biden, right? whether it's be gaffes or how we walks are walking off the stage the g7, you've no doubt seen that one so as a 21-year-old, when you see those things from biden, how he talks, how he walks the gaffs do they give you pause? >> never, never once have i ever been concerned about the president's age. i mean, look, there's three things i think about when i think about the president's age. republicans and world leaders have said that he's fit to serve kevin mccarthy said that he's sharpie strong in negotiations. president biden has also had a physical this year and on-site conducting exams were neurologists and they said that he passes exams perfectly fine. and i refer to president biden 60 minutes interview where he said watch me in a question about his age and i'm watching him and his records fantastic. and last thing i'll say is like i spent time with the president. i interviewed him and i was never concerned. he was get any advance and the questions i was askingw u point out you've met him, you've been invited to events. has the white house biden campaign ever tried to tell you what to say, tried to get you to look at something no. >> i've never gotten like are you must post this. you must post this. there have been briefings where they say, look, there's so much misinformation on social media. we just want you'd have the most accurate information, but there's no pressure to posts. there's never been like, oh, you have to say this or we're going to be angry with you or anything like that. >> all right. well, here, thank you very much. i appreciate it. and hope people will check out your videos and see how the work you've been doing. >> so thank you much and next, we're going to take you on board a boeing plane said on a collision course on her the assignments are going now the tornado here you cannot out swim this you cannot outrun it really is

stop the rise of dangerous close calls here's p, with more volume boarding, what looks like a normal commercial airliner. but instead of seats, there are computers. the passengers are engineers, and the flight plan is a mid air crisis traffic on runway. >> this is what's known officially as a runway incursion. the dangerous near collisions rose sharply at airports nationwide and 2023 and keep happening from jfk last year cancel takeoff clearance to reagan national airport just last month job for around go around in india. >> new video shows one such incident happening in real time. last fall, to private jets clipped one another on a houston runway, mere inches from disaster, are seeing near messes that are nearer and near from catastrophe inside his boeing 757 is the first system alerting pilots to runway incursions that are about to unfold. >> it's a prototype from honeywell, which is giving us this tv exclusive the best way to see it in action is by creating a runway incursion of our own bronny 257. this flight is taking us from dulles international airport to a smaller airport in hagerstown, maryland waiting for us on the ground. another honeywell airplane that will purposefully be in the wrong place at the wrong time in this case, sitting idle on the runway as we're coming into land. very similar to a near collision between fedex and southwest flights in austin last year i can record around this is what that looked like from from the outside. >> the goal here is to put this into do airplanes, but also existing airplanes so does give more time. >> we will the chancellery scott please. incidents that are unrolling now, we are on the runway as honeywell is other plane taxis out in front of us just like last year's incident at jfk traffic and runway traffic on runway honeywell software pulls from technology already in most commercial airliners, combining the system that warns of collisions with the ground, with the system that warns of collisions with other airplanes both have been mandated by the federal aviation administration for years, joe duvall is our pilot, and thanks. airlines won't act on new technology within another federal mandates. it does cost some money and we've got a get something that got it pushes them to that point accepting it into the docker, the tecta the national transportation safety board has been calling for runway incursion mornings in the cockpit, 424 years. a plea reiterated just last week by the agency's chair. it's going to be technology that prevents any of this from reoccurring faa chief mike whitaker insists there is no one cause of runway incursions, but it will take more than one solution. >> so we're looking at those layers of safety. are there other layers that we can insert as new technology takes aim at avoiding disaster. pete, mundane, cnn, hagerstown, maryland and thanks so much to all of you for joining us on this friday night. have a great and safe weekend. we'll see you
