Oh, god, no with no, i cant watch. That bison was taking no bs from that guy. Yellow stone officials warning visitors to stay 25 yards from the bison. Authorities say this was the mans third arrest in fact in a woke for causing disturbances while he visited several national parks. We are live in the cnn newsroom im ana cabrera in new york. So much to talk about. Lets get to breaking news. The first lady of the United States Melania Trump choosing apparently to support the man her husband is insulting on twitter. President Trump Badmouthing Nba superstar lebron james after an interview replayed on cnn. Tweets. Ana. And boris, a familiar face also spotted boarding Air Force One earlier someone who used to work in the white house. Tell us more about this. Reporter sacrificing appearance from former Director Of Communications hope hicks. She surprised the press by showing up not only in new jersey but then boarding Air Force One. Apparently on her way to this rally in ohio. You recall hicks resigned one day after she testified to congress that she had told white lies for President Trump. He she left the administration about a month later. Perhaps not that surprising considering we know that President Trump has contact with former campaign and administration officials, corey lewandowski. Anthony scaramucci. Roger stone to make a few. But surprising to see hope hicks relatively Out Of The Blue ana. Boris sanchez, you are on top of it. Lets play a small part of the interview that President Trump was responding to when he insulted the intelligence of both james and cnn anchor my colleague don lemon. The fourtime Nba Most Valuable Player james making it clear how he feels about the president. Watch. He has kind of used sport to kind of divide us. Do you think he uses black thmts as a scapegoat. At times. At times. And more often than not i believe he uses anything thats popular to try to negate from people thinking about the positive things they can be doing. Here with me now White House Reporter kate bennett and senior Media Correspondent Host of reliable sources brian stelter. You cover the first lady day in and day out why do you think she wanted to way weigh in here. This is the first lady who acts and thinks independently and when we think she zigs she channel she wants. Thachs the last time there was a public disagreement. Again in public between the two involving the reports over what she was watching on tv, watching cnn apparently. Thut this latest flap into context. There is no greater mystery in the world than recommends between husband and wife. Thats true in all marriages. Im not here to Saiko Analyze The President s marriage. But anybody looking at this stops for a moment and says the easier thing would have been to ignore the requests for comment today. But i think partly maybe her office wanted to respond because both don lemon and his response to the president and cnn in the Public Relations statement both used the be best hashtag. Be best, the Initiative Melania has been promoting that includes positive social media use. And combatting bullying. Yes. In the cybersphere. Maybe thats why she seized on this and decided to speak out. Its astonishing and gets people wondering about the marriage. And all of this comes at a time where the president feels under siege. We have seen this at his rallies where he is engaging in a lot of resentment and grievance politics. There is a New Washington pos story out today saying he is channelling inner frustration into a ravenous maw of grievous invektive. He is angry about a number of things including the mueller probe. You have him rage tweeting at night complaining about don lemon and lebron james. And his wife telling him to knock it off. She doesnt speak out often, kate, which is what makes this really poignant. She is perhaps most vocal when she disagrees with her husband. Thats an interesting point. This isnt a first lady we hear from a lot. She is pretty quiet, not a big speech give. Typically this isnt someone we hear from. I think what brian says is interesting. Its hard to examine the marriage of any couple. But we have watched Melania Trump try to assert independence and fire wak she has said on the Campaign Trail i to tell him the tweets will get new trouble. He is a grown up he does his own thing. She has said before i am my own person. I am strong. Dont feel sorry for me, et cetera. This might be her way. And i think it is, of fighting not back but sort of expressing an opinion that might not be the reflection exactly of her her husband thinks but its what she thinks and feels. Its important the first lady is able to do that. And she does it despite the fallout. She is not sitting in her room watching the coverage she moved on. Well the president was sitting in his room apparently watching the coverage on cnn last night when the statement we heard from lebron james aired. And i am going to read that part for you. Because when i hear this and i read this he writes he says what ive noticed over the past few months he has used sports to kind of divide us. And thats something that i cant relate to. I mean thats not exactly superthe critical of the president. I dont think the president could look at that tweet and say that statement thats not true, broien. It wasnt the most outspoken criticism of President Trump. It was mild when it comes to highprofile athletes critical of the president. It goes both ways. We see the president single out high profile athletes for criticism. Almost always africanamerican athletes. Look at the on the l. A. Times right now it says trump faces new accusations of racism amp mocking lebron james intelligence. There is that brand of criticism today. Saying why is the president both with don lemon and Lebron James Tarring Two africanamericans . People can debate that all day. But its clear again and again that the president goes after athletes. And seems to want the culture war moments. Lebron also said in the interview when don said well do you want to sit down with the president . Lebron said no i would not. I do not want to sit down next to him. I wouldnt want to talk to him. That is showing how deeply polarized right now. Some of the most famous have no interest in an audience with the protective placement. Good to have you with us. In a little more than an hour the president will be speaking at the rally in ohio. Live pictures from louis center ohio inside a High School Gymnasium the president will help rally voters to help elect a republican candidate locked in a tight race in a district the president won by 11 points in 2016. Will the appearance here help avoid the gop loss . We will talk about it in the cnn newsroom. And packages. And its also a story about people. People who rely on us every day to deliver their dreams theyre handing us more than mail theyre handing us their business and while we make more ecommerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget. That your business is our business the United States postal service. Priority you tremfya® is Fors Caadults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Im ready. The latest news and information from around the world with host Ana Cabrera. Campaign rally. He is there to rally support for Republican Congressional candidate troy balderson. You see him on the left abhe was leaving new jersey not long ago. We just brought that to you last hour. The ral wery is last minute. Aides telling cnn they are trying to schedule more rallies to boost the president s mood, keep his mind off russia. And his appearance cant hurt. The district he will be in is red through and three. He easily won it in 2016 by 11 points. Look at the latest poll. The republican is ahead by one point. Certainly not what the gop wants to see. Lets talk about what could happen here. What this means in the bigger picture. With sus former the nsc correct for china and. And cnn political analyst and Senior Editor for the atlantic Ron Brownants. Ron, starting with you and what the president did just before heading to the rally, insulting district. But it is now on the knifes edge. Larnlly because of the recoil from President Trump among ordinarily republican leaning white collar suburban voters who view his values his morals the way he talks about race as essentially unfebl. The npr marris pole. Two thirds of College Educated whites said they were embarrassed by President Trump. That sentiment is exactly why he has to go there. Thats what made it competitive. And david, this reminds me of something are senator Kamala Harris said at the conference last night she said russia new americas weaknesses citing racism, antisemitism and sexism as a way to divide americans. The russian know the truths. Because check it out. They attacked demographically and geographically. And theyre still trying to divide us and conquer. The russians know racism and other forms of hate have always been americas achilles heel. And we need to deal with that weakness. Do you think russia is watching, david what happened in the last 24 hours of this feud between the president and lebron james, the first lady getting involved and smiling right now . Absolutely. You see there is an old truism in intelligence that a Covert Action Program cant create something. It has to build on the environmental conditions already there. And what we saw in 2016 is the russians exploiting these differences. But we do have a parallel to this, which is the nfl take a knee controversy. And the hashtags on twitter and all of the facebook posts. A lot of this was amplified and promoted by russian bots and trolls. There is no reason to suggestion that this has change. The russians havent learned up and sent a clear signal about how real the threat is and that its ongoing he is directly undercutting them. When we are trying to deter an adversary one of the things thats important is that that adversary believe our word and believe when we say there will be consequences there will. And unfortunately Vladimir Putin is seeing mixed messages from the president and from his cabinet. And similarly, the American People for the reasons that you just talked about, the fact that they are the russians are exploiting these vulnerabilities in our society, what we need to do to make ourselves less vul they were abel is in part Build Resilience but we cant do that if the American People are getting a mixed message about whether the threat is real. The president has to get onboard board with the program. And we know the u. S. Is really vulnerable to attacks, especially when it comes to cyberattacks. Yet we have politico reporting the that the fisher is struggling to retain top Cybersecurity Talent including the agent tasked with disrupting digital threats from russia and elsewhere, close to 20 have left in the last five years. Is there reporting how concerning is that. One of the things we need to get on top of this threat is a coordinated whole of government strategy. And until the white house is really focused on this as a plm, can really unify whats being done in the different agencies we are not going to bring all of the talent across the u. S. Government to bear number one. Number two, the kind of talent leaving, you know, the fbi, the cybersecurity experts, its similar to what we have seen in other parts of the government where we atrophy the expertise that we need most to counter the threats of today. And that is absolutely leaving us more and more vulnerable. Ron we could learn this week or sometime make in the next week if the president sits down with Robert Mueller. His lawyers are cautions again the sitdown. But if trump wants to sit down with mueller will he get what he wants . Because he is not known for listening to advisers. Thats a good question. Im not sure we no he that he really wants to. I think its in his interest to put out the story that he is anxious to talk to the Special Counsel but its only the kind of supercautious lawyers that are preventing him to from doing so. Because to the public the fact that the president doesnt want to talk hirntly as it should be you know, eyebrow raising. The idea that the president does not feel comfortable discussing his actions both durng the Campaign Campaign in office with a Special Counsel. We have not had the issue litigated. Ultimately if it is litigated there were potentially be five republican appointed Supreme Court justices. Interesting to see how it plays out. But injury previous president s viewed it at untenable. Bill clinton sat down with ken starr not for this kind of interview because of the message it sends to the public. Its a striking statement by the statement and indeed by the majority in congress if they allow it to go by allow him to evade this interview without raising any alarms over that. David ill give you a quick final thought on the potential trump mueller oneonone. We have been surprised up to this point every time that mueller has dropped an indictment or every time we learn about how far along he is in the investigation. It wouldnt surprise me if gulini is making up this stuff about the president deciding within ten days if he is going to sit down. Thats for pr purposes. Whats actually happening Behind The Scenes has stayed close to muellers vest and he has not given any signals. David preece. Laura rosenberger Ron Brownants stay with me because i want to talk about the democrats strategy to win back washington, the internal battle raging on. The party battling over how far left tos too far left to win over voters. We will talk about that next in the cnn newsroom. Gold in a different box.

Janssen wants to help you explore cost support options. California Billionaire Tom Styer who has spent millions running ads nationwide urging the impeachment of donald j. Trump. Why Hasnt Congress started impeachment proceedings. All the Immigration Talk now worries mainstream establishment democrats. Running a hypothesisle kpoin when we could talk to the American People how corrupt the administration is, i think that thats a productive way to go right now. The fear talking impeachment before the Special Counsels investigation is complete could turn off independents and moderates ahead of the midterms and beyond. Is there any concern that that fissure between the far left and the center is going to hurt candidates in november, and possibly the president ial contend erps in 2020. I dont think we should be quite so clever about pollsters. And i think the people the political establishment in washington, d. C. Should get back to much simpler questions which is are we telling the truth about the most important things in america . Are we standing up for the American People . Potential 2020 contend erps making their way to net roots, senator Elizabeth Warren a corey booker and camilla hairs. Voting for abdul sadi for governor is the right thing to do. And selfprovesed cortez who upset the established democrat in primary stumping for progressives nationwide. We dont believe the way forward for progressives and democrats is to go moderate. We want to see candidates who are bold, visionary and who speak to the people. Republicans painting that net roots as mainstream and talking points sent to reporters the Republican National Committee Call it a former early fringed progressive move movement a key force in moving the Exactic Party further left. Do you think the democrat irk party has moved left . Or is this a more open tent these days. I do think that its moving more left. I dont think that progressivism or liberalism is is a farout idea anymore. Our thanks though Margle Marcus and Ron Brownants is with me now. You have written a lot about this fork in the road that democrats face. Do they target mostly white moderate voters . Or do they try to energize the groups fired up against trumps agenda and his style. Its a bigger problem for 2020 than 2018, frankly. I mean in 2018 you can kind of localize. You can pick candidates who fit the local conditions. There are few democrats running if any in the swing districts talking about impeachment. Theyre talking about Rising Health care costs and the tax cut and the potential threat to Social Security and medicare over time above all. In places more safely democratic you are seeing a move to the left. And you know those kind of candidates like we saw in new york with Crowelly Being defeated but where it comes to a head a 2020 because its harder to bridge that. I will throw out the caveat whenever a party faces the either or the answer is always to some extent both. If you look at the potential nominees so some are better at exciting the exactic base and others are better at reashurpg the centerright independent voters in places like ohio 12 that formerly were reliably republican but now having second thoughts about whether they fit into the Donald Trump Party where he tweets about lebron james. How would you define the democrats strategy right now . Is there a strategy or do you think theyre still struggling a little bit. I think there is a strategy for 2018. And i think they are struggle for 2020. Thats not unusual. The president ial primaries really are moments where parties pick direction. If you look at 2016 there are countertheories in the republican party. One was we had to expand the base talk to more of the growing diverse populations of america kind of the autopsy from 2013, jeb bush or marko rubio reflected that. And they lost to donald trump who consolidated blue collar abbe evangel and voters around a theme. Democrats face this kmois in 2020. Principlely joe biden whose main calling card would be look he is someone who could be acceptable to a lot of ordinarily Republican Voters who are Loosening Attachment to the party and maybe available because of trump. He is probably at his age with his record in the 90s during the clinton era he would be less effective than someone like Camilla Harris or corey booker or Elizabeth Warren at mobilizing the new marketic constituents, millennials primarily and minority voters if i had to bet today both perspectives will be on the ticket. The question is which is on the top of the ticket. Before miguels piece i mentioned the word impeachment. I want you to listen to something rudy giuliani, the president s personal attorney said this week while stumping for a Republican Congressional candidate in new hampshire. I have to say this. And i say this in my role not as a lawyer but as a as a concerned citizen and republican, but this election is going to be about impeachment or no impeachment. So, ron, gulini and republicans clearly want to make the midterms all about potential impeachment of the president. Well, first it fits into the broader strategy. Really as we were talking about with the tweets and everything. There is a trump political strategy for the midterm. Its to try to Engine Upturn out among the Republican Base whatever the cost of doing that among other voters whether driving away independents which we see in polls or mobilizing turnout among democrats which you also see in polls. I think the comments from gulini are of a piece with the kind of message and issues that the president is pursuing. Dont forget, the border separation they viewed originally as a positive for the november election because they thought their base would rally around it. So all of that is there. Look, for democrats i think impeachment is a question several, many steps down the road if you get the house there is a lot of legislative and oversight space between where we are now with a Republican Congress that essentially is refusing to provide any kind of oversight of the of the administration any kind of hearings, any kind of investigation, and impeachment. I think the first thing any exact would say if running in november if lack we are going to look at what they are doing. We are going to Explore Whats Happening at the epa, Explore Whats Happening at other agencies. I think there is a lot of space between where we are now and the possibility some day down the road depending on what Robert Mueller says of impeachment. Ron brownants. Thank you very much.

There appears to be no limit to the ingenuity of Drug Smugglers when it comes to illegal contraband across the border. Police in costa ricka found this subin the middle of the ocean after a tip from the u. S. Coast guard. What is the mini submarine doing near the coast of. Costa ricoh. They are calling it a narc o submarine. Thats for good reason. The Law Enforcement officials found two tons of cocaine inside the submarine after stopping about 80 naughticle miles off the coast. And arrested three columbian nationals. This is one of the biggest busts at sea. The cocaine they say was neatly packed in 2,000 packets weighing 2. 2 pounds. One kilo. They were using this vessel because its difficult to detect by radar. But not impossible. That sounds like a lot of illegal drugs in a single shipment. But it seems that the costa ricka is a new Transit Point for smuggling. In addition to the two metric tons they got. Any also seized 6. 5 metric tons in the last ten days alone. Listen to this, ana, so far this year they are at nearly 18 metric tons where does this rank in terms of tactics or methods used to smuggle drugs . They do get creative and we have covered many different methods from an organization used to smuggle drugs from the weird to the sophisticated. One that comes to mind is a group of men using a catapult at the Arizona Border back in 2011 to toss drug packages from the mexican to the american side. As it happened in costa rica, ana, those men were also put behind bars. Rafael romo thanks for that reporting.

A federal judge is ripping the Trump Administration for suggesting the aclu should be responsible for finding hundreds of parents the government separated from their children. The administration suggested it would help facilitate family communications, but says immigrant advocacy groups, the judge called this unacceptable and says the government is 100 responsible for finding them. He says of the nearly 500 still missing, just 12 or 13 have been located. The judge now wants detailed information on all of the deported parents and plans for reunification by august 10th. Thats next friday. Another federal judge dealt a blow to the Trump Administration to end the daca program. The government must fully destroy the program that prevents socalled dreamers from being deported.

And i was just visiting a friend of mine. Gary shandling was not afraid to express his frailties and his neurosis and inabilities. All of the ts. He broke the wall with the Gary Shandling show and with Larry Sanders he broke that mold and he turned tv on its head twice. I am so uncomfortable. Really . So do i. You do . Youre so good at it. Trust me, i hate myself. Much of modern Television Comedy can be traced back to a lot of the chances gary took. It still doesnt add up for me that hes gone. It doesnt make sense. Not having his voice doesnt feel right. Even long before i met him he felt like a comedic friend to me. All my journey is is to be authentically who i am. He was a mentor to a lot of people. He almost seemed like he was floating through the world a little bit. Like, he was there to help. What i want at my funeral is an actual Boxing Referee to do a count and at five, just wave it off and say hes not getting up. The reason that garys death is a crime is not just because i dont get to talk to him anymore, and he wasnt done. The history of comedy airs tomorrow at 10 00 p. M. Eastern and pacific here on cnn.
