[laughter] okay, i do the jokes here. All right. Thank you. Wait, i got who is Kevin Johnson . You told me you were michael jordan. [laughter] it is a pleasure and i welcome you also to washington. I see the mayor has left. I blame this on congress. You can drive 25 miles in any direction and never leave the scene of the crime. I want to welcome the i know cspan is here. I want to say hello to the viewer. [laughter] youll not forget today. Mayor, perfection. Absolute perfection. If the public could hear what you just said, and i hope that this is replayed and replayed, they would have faith in their leadership that they do not have now. [applause] and i begin with humor because im nervous and intimidated. And i mean that. Of everything ill do this year, there is none more important. I listen to the people every day. I do focus groups every day and every night. If you could hear the fear, the anxiety, the skepticism, even cynicism with the American People right now, and the only people
Top of the hour, 7 00 p. M. Eastern. Im poppy harlow in new york. We begin this hour with donald trump, who has just wrapped up a rally in virginia. He made an aggressive play there for a key voting bloc hes been struggling with in an extraordinary way africanamericans. Listen. Finally today i would like to address an issue of great and very deep personal importance to me. In recent days, across this country, ive asked the Africanamerican Community to
honor me with their vote. I fully recognize the outreach to the Africanamerican Community is in an area where the Republican Party must do better, and it will do better. The gop is the party of abraham lincoln. And i want our party to be the home of the africanamerican voter once again. Lets go straight to our cnn white house producer, kristen holmes. You were at the site of the rally. The people have cleared out. That is certainly what stood out to me in his 40minute plus address tonight, was the moment where he said we as a party have t
Month. And Pete Buttigieg making the biggest gains now at 21 . Everybody else including joe biden well behind. Biden and sanders forcing the surging buttigieg to play defense this weekend. First it was biden, his Campaign Going negative with an ad in New Hampshire highlighting former mayor petes experience gap. Joe biden helped lead the passage of the Affordable Care act, which gave health care to 20 million people. And when park goers called on Pete Buttigieg he installed decorative lights under bridges giving citizens of south bend colorfully illuminated rivers. Then biden himself took a shot. He was asked about his decision to attack another moderate in the race. Listen to his answer and the response from buttigieg. Is this a act of desperation on your campaign to be making this assertion right now of mayor buttigieg . This guys not a barack obama. Well, hes right. Im not and neither is he. Neither is any of us running for president. And this isnt 2008. Its 2020, and we are in a new
Some exhausted passengers say the move could actually setback their return to normal life because theyll have to get quarantined all over again in the United States. Thats why one couple from sacramento decided against evacuating. That didnt make any sense if the u. S. Was fearful these were infected people which is why theyre going to quarantine them to have thrown them all together. And then another twist announced with the planes already in the air, 14 passengers who took part in the evacuation tested positive for coronavirus after leaving the ship, they were still allowed onto chartered flights. The state department and hhs say those people were isolated from other passengers during the flight. Cnns matt rivers is live for us in tokyo. Matt, it sounds like these passengers are hearing conflicting things about not only when theyll be allowed home but when theyll be allowed a normal life and not have to be in quarantine. Reporter yeah, basically. This is just a really tough ongoing s
Foreign policy for the last two years after office on all things a asia. Thats been going on inside this administration. Its been a priority for the president over the last few years. He wants to get back to doing that. This is his second trip to asia this year. You recall earlier this year he was in japan and korea and malaysia. Hes getting back to business on this front. But hes got a lot on his plate, not to mention, poppy, the relos of those american prisoners in north korea which of course the president will be asked about during this trip to asia. He also is dealing with the escalation of the military operation in iraq and syria with respect to isis. The president doubling the number of troops heading into that region to serve as American Military advisers to iraqi and kurdish forces. So that is something the president will be talking about with reporters at some point during this trip. We should point out duringbeiji be meeting with chinese president kpirks axi and human and Cyb
