deals with mexico. i want to make better deals with china. they say, oh, trump is messing with free trade. no, i'm messing with bad deals that we can make good. >> trump calling out the u.s. chamber of commerce for the second day in a row. >> the u.s. chamber fights. they said, oh, trump wants to stop free trade. i don't want to stop free trade. i love free trade. >> at his rally in new hampshire, trump criticized for his latest off-the-cuff comment, making an awkward joke at the expense of mexico while discussing nafta, which he says takes manufacturing jobs away from the u.s. >> their leaders are so much smarter, so much sharper, and it's incredible. in fact, that could be a mexican plane up there. they're getting ready to attack. >> trump drawing more criticism for this exchange with a woman who asked him about using veterans to replace muslim tsa workers using head scarves, or hijab. >> get rid of all these hijabs. i've seen them myself. >> and we are looking at that. >> trump did not miss an opportunity to slam hillary clinton on jobs, highlighting clinton's vulnerability among white blue-collar voters. trump referring to a statement clinton made at a cnn town hall while talking about her clean energy bill. >> we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business. >> she said, i want to put the miners and the mines out of business. who would vote for her? we want to put our people back to work. >> clinton later apologizing to coal workers for what she called a misstatement. >> our people should have more pride in buying made in the usa. remember the old days? >> clinton quick to point out that trump benefits from the foreign labor he now scorns. >> trump ties are made in china. trump suits in mexico. >> all this as sources tell cnn that new jersey golfer chris christie and former house speaker newt going rich are being vetted to be trump's running mate. trump intends to be announce his pick at the republican national convention just weeks away. and the timing of the convention could be key for some of the gop, who are still on the fence about getting behind trump. republican senator susan collins of maine says she's waiting to see who trump will pick as a running mate before she will finally endorse him. jim, alisyn? >> jason, thanks so much for that. let's discuss everything with our cnn political panelists. we are our political analyst and presidential campaign anchor. great to have you guys. donald trump says he feels like he's running against two parties. you can understand why. with everything he's said about trade, some republicans are not comfortable with his policy on that among other things. >> he's made a massive departure from republican orthodoxy. the problem for trump has been he does need party unity. he's basically making a gamble it's not going to get that much better. when he makes statements like, i feel like i'm at war with my own party, and on the other hand you have someone like mitch mcconnell saying, you know, we need to see more from you in terms of growth, that does not help. you're right. it is true. he essentially is running against the leadership of his own party. he's running against several members of his own party. he continues to keep talking about the republican primary and his vanquished opponents. none of this helps him bring together the voters he needs. ultimately, that needs to be his goal. >> it sounds like a dangerous strategy, but president fathe f voters on both sides are frustrated with their party leadership. that's why on both sides you saw outsiders, like trump and sanders do so well. isn't there an argument this is a smart strategy? >> oh there, is an argument. donald trump appears to be continuing and extending his republican primary strategy, that anything against the establishment will get you votes, will. it worked to perfection in a way during the primary season. however, there are another hundred million people who are going to weigh in now. many of them don't really care for those talking points, were not sitting to wait and hear somebody bash mitch mcconnell. that's not really what it's about for a lot of independent voters a lot of the swing state voters. we'll see whether or not that works. >> exhibit a, let my submit a new fox news poll out just two days ago. it finds that his support among republican voters has dropped are. in may it was 82%. mitt romney got more, of course. now june, 74%. so maybe this strategy is not working. >> right. this is my argument for why i think this ongoing war with your own party is happening. he's sort of like the football player who won a great prize in the last round and keeps talking about that great game. it feels comfortable to him. it's what he knows. his aides have been trying to sort of recalibrate him. remember, the big strategy during the primary was let trump be trump. that gets you to a point. there are limitations to that. we're seeing it. to the point about how there are people to whom the anti-establishment message appeals, that's not really the problem for trump. the things he's saying are turning off large blocs of voters. hispanic voters, women voters. he can run up a certain margin with white men, but he needs his numbers among basically everybody else to be better than they are. >> if you're going on this trade strategy, that's his core message here, is he basically giving up the states like florida where, for instance, hispanic voters hold a lot of sway and going full bore after those midwestern trade states? is that what you're seeing here? >> right, if you wanted to put a template over it, this is going to play better in what's the so-called rust belt where there are manufacturing jobs that have gone missing or have gone overseas and so forth and making an argument there. on the other hand, you have to sort of not just say it on television and not just put it out there as a position, you've got to make the thing work. that's where this next level of conversation comes in, which is where is the trump organization? where are they in pennsylvania? there's some reporting saying they haven't really done what they need to do to make good on the message that he's trying to bring. to answer your question, yes, he's giving up in some ways on nevada, colorado, florida. that's not really where strategically he's going to try and make his biggest inroads. we'll see how that works out. you start looking at the numbers and the time that's left and the organization that's required to drive these messages home, it's a very steep uphill climb for donald trump. >> maggie, let's talk about news "the new york times" is breaking this morning about attorney general loretta lynch and this i ill-conceived meeting she had privately on the plane with bill clinton. what's the decision that may be announced today in terms of loretta lynch? >> she's expected to say she will not get involved in the ultimate decision in the e-mail case, that she'll rely on the career prosecutors and the fbi to make that final ruling. it seemed to be heading that way anyway. it does seem to have been accelerated by this meeting on monday that she has been and bill clinton has been pretty roundly criticized for, including by some democrats. >> so not a recusal. >> right. >> but she's saying she will take whatever the career prosecutors decide to do, she will abide by. >> she's saying she's not getting involved, period. so she's technically not involved, so therefore i believe the reason is -- there's no reason to recuse yourself if you're not physically involved in something or have your hands on it. it's different than what we saw when eric holder was the a.g. with the david petraeus case where he did overrule. >> you hear from loretta lynch's people that she was surprised by this meeting. they were talking about grandkids and she was surprised when he walked on to her plane. so what was bill clinton thinking? he knows the optics of this in light of his wife currently being under investigation. what was he thinking? >> it's hard to be sure, of course. i tend to side with with the group that thinks if this was going to be something illicit and secret, it probably wouldn't have happened on a public tarmac with lots and lots of witnesses and so forth. on the other hand, you know -- look i i should say, i've known loretta lynch for a while. she's a really, really straight shooter. a ton of public integrity cases she prosecuted in new york when she was serving as the u.s. attorney in the eastern district. i don't think there's any question of her actually being sort of swayed in one way or another. bill clinton with the optics, you know, these politicians, they'll throw their arm around you and let everybody take a picture and sort of let the optics take care of themselves. if what he wanted to do was send a message to people that i'm okay with this or wink and a nod, i've got something going on here. >> it's the kind of unforced error the democrats are worried about with the clinton campaign. you talk to a lot of democrats who say, look, the polling average overwhelmingly favors her right now. she's nowhere near 50. she's still stuck at a certain point. there are not massive numbers of voter registration drives going on on the democratic side. so there is a lingering fear of, look, there is not a huge chance of donald trump winning if the vote were today, but he does have room, and why hand over republicans a cudgel? >> very quickly, let's play the veep stakes game. donald trump, it's been leaked he's vetting governor chris christie of new jersey and newt gingrich. >> what would chris christie buy him? >> it's an interesting question. i think what chris christie buys him -- first and foremost, somebody that can do what a vice presidential candidate can do, which is a lot of battle. chris christie is very good at that. he has no problem with executing 180s. right now we have only one donald trump republican. that's the candidate himself. so trying to figure out where he's going to end up on trade or anything else on any given day can be very tough. chris christie has, i think, the forensic skills to go and argue and battle any side of any issue and never back down. that's the quality that you have to have if you want to defend donald trump. >> the forensic skills. nicely put there. >> i like that. all right, guys. thank you very much. happy friday. have a good weekend. well, turkish officials tell cnn they have strong evidence that isis leadership was involved in planning the istanbul airport attack. we're learning new details this morning about who that alleged planner is and how the trio of attackers got themselves into turkey. cnn anchor brooke baldwin is live at the istanbul airport. what are we learning there this morning? >> reporter: yeah, jim, good morning. we now have a name of this ke n chechen, this believed to be mastermind commander. his nickname is ahmed one harm. he's believed to be missing an arm and a leg. he's believed to be part of this isis cell specifically targeting turkish facilities and u.s. facilities. traveled to syria a number of times, became one of the top lieutenants for the minister of war for isis operations. this is according to congressman michael mccull, the chairman of the house homeland security committee. it's specifically believed that these attacks a couple nights ago here at the airport were specifically coordinated to fall in the last couple of days of the muslim holy month of ramadan. so that's number one this morning. number two, we also have all this detail about where these three bombers holed themselves up in this istanbul community maybe just an hour, half an hour away from the airport here. nima and her crew travelled to this apartment, located and spoke with the landlord, who has been interviewed by investigators here who confirmed, yes, he rented this apartment the last month to these three men. apparently just a little bit of color from neighbors who nima and this crew talked to. there was a woman who said just in recent days, there was an odd smell, a chemical smell. she was concerned there was potentially a gas leak in the building. also from another man nima spoke with that apparently these guys never really left this apartment. the curtains were always closed except for a couple times seeing someone sort of hanging out the window and smoking. but the question is, would they have said anything? one of the women said they did talk to the community elders. in this culture, the notion of saying, who are you and what you could you be doing, not really accepted in this part of the world. alisyn? >> okay, brooke. thank you for all that. great to have your reporting there live on the scene. obviously we'll check back with you. well, millions of americans are headed out this july fourth weekend just days after the istanbul attacks. so travelers can expect to see security beefed up at airports and as well as many of the big fireworks displays across the country. cnn's chris frates is live at d.c.'s international airport. what are you seeing, chris? >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. fourth of july weekend is one of the busiest travel weekends of the year. people already arriving here to kick off that big holiday weekend. inside security officials ramping up security with those terrorist attacks in turkey fresh in their minds. they're looking to prevent a similar tragedy here and at airports across the country. u.s. security personnel are mobilizing to protect the over 40 million americans traveling this weekend. >> the american public should expect to see this july fourth weekend an enhanced security presence at airports, train stations, and other transit centers. >> reporter: the u.s. is home to four of the ten ten busiest airports. topping that list, heartsfield jackson in atlanta. >> you're looking around for things probably more than you normally would. >> reporter: the airport is increasing security presence, some also going undercover. >> we also have people not necessarily dressed as officers patrolling as well. >> reporter: and officials are also beefing up security outside the terminals and along local roads. >> i can't discuss what we're doing to harden the perimeter parts of jackson, but what i can tell you is it's substantial and serious. >> reporter: the nation's other top three airports are also heightened their security measures. >> i can tell you we're focused like a laser beam. when it comes to soft targets, you can't completely, you know, insulate yourself. but there's no question we're in a heightened focus. >> reporter: counterterrorism officials are also focusing on soft targets like the july 4th fireworks displays in new york and our nation's capital. >> precautions have been taken, planning has been going on for months, and it is a coordinated, multiagency event. >> reporter: now -- >> little audio problem with my colleague chris franks there. as you heard, we are learning more about the nationalities of the attackers and other details about what led up to this horrible attack in istanbul just in the last couple days. our panel is going to discuss this right after this break.

call cancer treatment centers of america home. expert medicine works here. find out why at cancer center.com. cancer treatment centers of america. we're learning more this morning about the men behind the terror attack in istanbul's airport. u.s. officials tell cnn the attack planner is a well-known terrorist who is a fluent isis' war ministry. let's discuss what this means with our cnn contributor and co-author of "isis: inside the army of terror," michael weiss, and cnn global affairs analyst, kimberly doser great to have both of you here. what do we know about this so-called ring leader? >> well, he's chechen. he's apparently been arrested by three different countries and let go, if the russian newspaper is to be believed. the swedes got him on weapons charges. the ukrainians got him. he was being sought for extradition back to russia. the georgians had got him. in fact, he's called the one armed man or one arm because he was in a fire fight with georgian security services in 2012, and that's when he lost his arm. this guy is basically the top recruiter or ring leader for isis inside the russian federation. a few years ago, the main jihadi organization essentially split. some of the guys stayed loyal to their current leadership. others pledged allegiance to abu bakr al baghdadi. >> so isis is getting squeezed in iraq. libya we kind of forgot about, but they're getting squeezed in libya too. are they partly doing these attacks outside the country because they're getting squeezed in their home base? >> absolutely. think of what we've been watching on tv, putting on tv over the past few days. images over and over of just a handful of attackers attacking an airport where some westerners go. we're not seeing the images of them being run out of these various villages as the iraqi forces approach mosul. maybe grainy video of a convoy getting hit outside of fallujah, but that's about it. these other images, they terrify. they destabilize the tourism industry in turkey, which is exactly what isis wants to do. it's masterful if that it's right before a holiday weekend here, where security is high. they've got everyone scared, and they didn't have to go beyond turkey to do it. >> and these images we're seeing, these are the closed-circuit images of the shots and bombs going off and the chaos ensuing. we also know this morning more about the path, the route they took to end up in istanbul. so they traveled from raqqah. i believe we have a map here. well, first, obviously, the attackers were from kyrgyzstan, uzbekistan, russia. they went from raqqah, traveled into turkey from syria. does mean they went through a traditional sort of check point? >> not necessarily. one isis defector i spoke to said the border crossing essentially feeds and supplies the entire caliphate from raqqah to formerly fallujah. >> meaning a real border crossing? >> a real border crossing. i said, why don't the turks just shut this down? they tried that once, ramadan a year or two ago, and isis threatened to shut off the lights in northern aleppo. they control the power grid. there's actually a power station. it might have fall on en out of their hands at this point, but that they actually controlled. they split the proceeds of that power station with the assad regime. in the middle east, there's no such thing as black and white. >> let me ask you, getting into the not all black and white category. there have been allegations that both russia and turkey have let bad actors like this, jihadi, get into syria because better there than at home. turkey in particular has been cracking down on this. is this a little bit of the revenge? now that you're targeting us. turkey has had a horrible year of attacks. >> they had one in october that killed more than a hundred people that was blamed on isis. that was aimed at the kurdish population inside turkey because of course isis is under a lot of pressure from u.s.-backed kurdish rebels inside syria. >> is it payback? >> payback, but they managed to accomplish their goals of making turkey suffer without having to claim responsibility. i don't think that it's going to head off the crackdown that we're likely going to see from the turkish state across the country. also, u.s. officials have said they have tried to tighten up that border. they have had more patrols. they have built more fences. but u.s. officials concede that there are still plenty of places, little paths across the desert where people can get through. >> and it took them a long time to close down that border. there's been criticism from the u.s. to turkey for months and months about turkey not acting quickly enough. >> so how does turkey respond? >> this is the million-dollar question. there's been a lot of rumors. are they going to try to establish a buffer zone or send in ground forces? i don't think they will. much like jordan when they lost their pilot, there's going to be a great show of force. you'll probably see turkey starting to drop bombs as part of the coalition, an air campaign. essentially, their hands are a bit tied here. isis relies on this manual called the management of savagery, which came out a few years ago. one of the things is within the muslim lands that are not deemed sufficiently islamic, it's to spread vexation and exhaustion among your enemies. try to cripple and destabilize these societies with the intent of weakening the security forces and also the government. so attacking erdogan, who has been, let us say -- has deprioritized the fight against isis and overprioritized the fight against the pkk, it's actually a very clever strategy because what is he going to do now? he still wants to fight the kurds, but now he's facing two enemies at once. >> michael, kim, thank you. great to have both of you here. so is teaming up with russia the answer in the war against isis? defense secretary ash carter weighs in on a potential alliance there. we have a live report for you from the pentagon next. rry ma'a. no burning here. try new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. they work fast and don't taste chalky. mmmm. incredible. looks tasty. you don't have heartburn. new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. enjoy the relief. ♪ i got the discounts that you need ♪ ♪ safe driver ♪ accident-free ♪ everybody put your flaps in the air for me ♪ new this morning, the obama administration is considering a proposal to team up with russia to defeat terrorists inside syria. cnn's barbara starr is live at the pentagon with the details. barbara, i can foresee loads of problems with this, one being that they have i did metrical-- dimetrically opposed goals. >> what we know is the u.s. is discussing inside the obama administration, offering a plan to russia to try and agree to coordinate intelligence and coordinate on air strikes inside syria, but the big if, as you say, jim, is whether bashar al assad will agree to stop bombing rebel groups, stop bombing u.s.-backed rebels. that's a big question on all of this. defense secretary ash carter expressing some great deal of skepticism at the pentagon. have a listen to what he had to say. >> if the russians would do the right thing in syria, and that's an important condition, as in all cases with russia we're willing to work with them. that's what we've been urging them to do since they came in. that's the objective that secretary kerry's talks are aimed at. if we can get them to that point, that's a good thing. >> underlying all of that, secretary kerry, this is a plan that the state department by all accounts is advocating. the pentagon remains skeptical. what's really in play here? well, carter also talked about the u.s. wants to get rebels to raqq raqqah, as he said, as fast as possible. that's something they want to make happen with more rebels on the ground, more u.s. military advisers on the ground. they don't want any mistakes from the russians accidently bombing any u.s. troops accidently bombing any u.s.-backed rebels. alisyn? >> yes, that would be a huge problem, barbara, thank you very much for all of that reporting. well, if you're headed to the airport for the fourth of july weekend, extra security measures should you expect? we've got the answers next. if you are traveling for july 4th, expect the airport to look a little different. because of the istanbul terror attacks, most u.s. airports are boosting security, and police in some cities are asking for more fire power to fight terrorism. here to discuss is cnn national security analyst and former assistant secretary for the secretary of defense. what changes will we see at u.s. airports? >> you'll see several changes, and some you won't see. there's a commitment to layered defense. more dogs, roving patrols, surveillance, random check points, undercover cops. it's that sort of layered aspect of this. you don't want to just focus on one thing as a solution. so people, traveling public will see that today. on the backside, what we don't see, increased intelligence sharing, other aspects of unknown and not public aspects of security that will be going on too, to protect the airports and of course to protect the traveling public. on the national side, i know the national incident command center is being -- you know, every officers is being briefed. you want people to travel without too much anxiousness. >> but isn't this the complaint? it's always reactive instead of proactive. after a shoe bomber, we all take off our shoes. after somebody trying to sneak on explosive liquids, we have to get rid of our water. it's not forward looking. it happens after attacks. >> well, that's often true, but that's because we learn after an attack sort of the tactics what the terrorists are going to do. we should never view safety and security as a permanent state that once we get it, everything will be fine. it has to constantly adapt to what the changing threats are. so what we're seeing now, of course, between brussels and turkey is the open public areas are very, very vulnerable. so you're going to begin to put more assets in those areas. so there's not like some fixed point where, you know, everything is fine, especially with airports or any soft target or open target where you want people to flow. that's what i want to say to the audience. people are nervous, but keep traveling. you can't just sort of respond by saying, oh, if i only stay home, everything will be fine. it's just, we have to keep engaging with commerce and flow and travel, not because, you know -- not to make a statement, but that's who we are. >> yeah, it is unsettling. this is our new -- we've talked about this being our new reality. the sad irony, one of them, of what happened at the istanbul airport is that istanbul had beefed up its security. it had moved its security to curbside. so much further outside of the airport than what we have in the u.s. there were -- you know, you had to go through the metal detectors at the curb, and yet these three attackers, one blew himself up in the parking lot, one there at curbside, and then one was able to run through the metal detectors and security and detonate himself inside the airport. so it seems as though some things are futile. wherever you move your front line of security, that's still the soft target where the lines are waiting. >> it is true. with a system as big as an airport, right, and -- just domestically, millions of people traveling a week, this idea that you can get the vulnerability to zero is just a fiction. people in security know that. what they're committed to or what where need to invest in is the capability of minimizing the risk and maximizing the defenses, knowing you're not going to get that vulnerability to zero. the other aspect of this is, of course, engaging the public. i'm willing to admit people in my field have a way of talking that either makes people tune out or freak out. so we have to be better at educating the public about, you know, see something, say something, what are active shooter protocols, and empower people so that they also feel like they own their own safety and security. those are sort of, you know, the best way that we can engage in flow and travel and everything we want to do this weekend and minimize the risk as we're doing so. it's not that it's futile, but we have to accept a level of vulnerability given the society that we live in. >> well, nobody tunes out when you're talking. we pay rapt attention. >> thank you. >> so thank you very much for all of that and have a great weekend. >> thank you. >> over to jim. >> well, big trouble thousands of feet in the sky when a man's parachute doesn't deploy. wait until you see the heart-stopping free fall. that's right after this. apparently, people think i'm too perky. so now i'm not being perky, telling you that drivers that switch to

at cancercenter.com/experts after years of acrimony, the u.s. could be looking to russia for help in the war on terror. the countries weighing a plan to coordinate strikes in syria. that is, if moscow agrees to get syrian president bashar al assad to stop targeting u.s.-backed rebel groups there. cnn military analyst, retired major general joining me now. i read this report. you and i know, everyone knows, the u.s. and russia are basically on opposite sides of that war. russia is supporting assad. the u.s. on the other side, granted there's isis, who makes it a little messier there. how is this going to work? how are you going to find some overlap of interest to make cooperation there work? >> >> jim, i love what you said. isis makes it a little messier. if you start at the top, you realize there is no convergence of interest between the united states and russia, or you could say more precisely, there's precious little convergence of interest. in other words, we can probably find a few things we can do together. but assad is not going anywhere. one of the preconditions from the u.s. is he's got to go. russia says no. if you start there, you have an immediate barrier that you have to find your way around. that becomes the real sticking point. >> so let me ask you this. you're on opposite sides with assad, the u.s. and russia, but at least both russia and the u.s. don't like isis. they're alarmed by isis. the folks who carried out this attack in istanbul, they came from russia into turkey. let's say you agree on that. would you as a military commander trust russia to follow through on whatever you agree on, whatever kind of limited intelligence sharing or i won't bomb you, you don't bomb us kind of agreement? >> yeah, that's the point. if you can get beyond -- if you could establish some basis for cooperation, which is the first point, and then you get into the tactics of cooperation, we have no experience working with the russians at that level. you know, the magic occurs at the tactical level between noncommissioned officers and young officers that have rules of engagement. cooperation and tactics, techniques and procedures we've never rehearsed with the russians. simple decon flix of aircraft, how do you move into a certain area, how do you own battle space, how do you coordinate and move somebody away if you're about to do something? how do i get a convoy to go in a certain direction, not be attacked by one of the rebel forces that might be loosely aligned to an antianti-assad tyf role. that's what concerns me most. it's the trust factor you've talked about. trust is a derivative of sharing power. we've never shared power in that region, certainly not with the russians. >> and this is trust with lives on the line. >> you got it. >> let's move to another topic. we remember this incident several months ago when the iranian navy in effect captured for about 24 hours u.s. sailors in the persian gulf. the navy report has come out and found a failure of leadership from the top all the way down. you commanded forces in the field in iraq and elsewhere. how bad is this report? how bad are these findings? >> yeah, it's very, very troubling for the navy. very troubling for the -- for our presence in the region. the way i would view this is that certainly the united states navy commands its presence around the world, does absolutely incredible work. in this region, you know, the united states essentially is the super power that conducts with levels of impunity that nobody else does operations in the persian gulf. we've done that forever essentially. when you're that good and that precise and you're that unchallenged in the region, there is an issue of discipline and freedom of action. i think that's what happened. let me tell you, the navy knows exactly what it's doing and is going to fix this problem, but you can see where you can have levels of discipline that might be decreased simply because you've been able to do it with impunity for so long. >> let me ask you, as we see those pictures again, the horrible pictures of u.s. sailors on their knees, in the report it does fault the leadership at that level. it says, for instance, they sailed through iranian waters, they were basically taking a shortcut. they shouldn't have done that. they were trying to repair their boat as their engine stopped inside those waters. they should have had a plan. we also know from the report, they had less than 24 hours to prepare for this. they were kind of rushed into this mission. does the fault -- does most of the fault lie with the sailors on that boat there or with senior leadership? >> that's a great question. leadership exists at multiple levels. you have command leadership. you have leadership at the group level. you have individual leadership. if you start at the bottom, every sailor, every soldier, every service member has an obligation to remain at levels of readiness 24/7. that percolates up to that command level that says, within my purview, i own this boat, i own these men, i own these women. we have to be able to execute tasks at the drop of a hat, what must we do? what are those preconditions that have to take place? that has to happen without any direct orders. that's like breathing air. then you take it to the next level. is this the level of readiness this organization has maintained and can i put them on this mission? so everybody's got ownership. >> a lot of careers probably going to end over this final question. we had the announcement from ash carter yesterday ending the ban on transgender soldiers from serving in the military. it was noted, for instance, by our pentagon correspondent barbara starr that the joint chiefs were not present for that announcement. is it your sense that he didn't have the full backing for this, that there was some opposition? >> i would tell you behind closed doors, there's going to be opposition, absolutely. the one thing that's wonderful is that in the military, you want to make sure that your voice is heard. so there's got to be a loyal opposition to any one of the -- any discussion point, any significant effort like this. so there may have been behind closed doors disagreement, but at the end of the day, everybody on the joint chiefs is going to say, boss, we got it. this is a decision. it's not illegal. we may have disagreed. we voiced our concerns. but we're going to follow these directives and we're going to make it work. yes, that could have been the issue. >> general "spider" marks, always great to talk to you. >> thank you very much. we're following a lot of news this morning. let's get right to it. >> our people should have more pride in buying made in the usa. >> trump ties are made in china. suits in mexico. >> let's make america great again by protecting america from the global economy. that's just not realistic. >> he accused my best friend's father of conspireing to kill jfk. >> it was a rough primary. they got beat up. >> it's very likely these individuals would have fought together as a part of isis. >> the three men came from the isis stronghold of raqqah. >> it's important to destroy isil. >> over 40 million americans traveling this weekend. >> security is being ramped up. >> something doesn't make sense here in this case. >> a new trial. >> we're going to keep fighting until he's out of jail. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> that does it. i've got to start listening to the serial podcast. >> i've told her to. i've listened to it. she's got to catch up. >> i thought i was going to be able to avoid it, but there is news about it this morning. welcome to "new day." jim sciutto joins me today. donald trump says he feels like he's running against two parties. >> this has hillary clinton's campaign is facing a fire storm of criticism over bill clinton's private meeting with the attorney general. will loretta lynch recuse herself from the clinton e-mail probe? let's begin our coverage with cnn's jason carroll. what's the latest this morning? >> a lot of political developments this morning. some familiar names surfacing on trump's short list for running mate. trump looking for those who can bring experience to the table and candidates who are loyal and according to trump, loyalty seems to be in short order among some within his own party. >> it was a rough primary. they got beat up, but they went after me too. you know, we beat them up, and now they don't want to endorse. you know, it's almost in some ways like i'm running against two parties. >> donald trump at war with his own party and defending his protectionist trade agenda. >> why are people upset that with free trade that i like that i want to make better deals? i said i want to make better deals with mexico, i want to make better deals with china. oh, trump is messing with free trade. no, i'm messing with bad deals that we can make good. i can make good deals. why would somebody fight that? >> trump calling out the u.s. chamber of commerce for the second day in a row. >> the u.s. chamber fights. they said, oh, trump wants to stop free trade. i don't want to stop free trade. i love free trade. >> at his rally in new hampshire, trump criticized for his latest off-the-cuff comments, making an awkward joke at the expense of mexico while discussing nafta, which he says takes manufacturing jobs away from the u.s. >> their leaders are so much smarter, so much sharper, and it's incredible. in fact, that could be a mexican plane up there, they're getting ready to attack. >> trump drawing more criticism for this exchange with a woman who asked him about using veterans to replace muslim tsa workers wearing head scarves, or hijabs. >> get rid of all these hibijabis they wear at tsa. i've seen them myself. we need the veterans back in there. they've defended this country. they'll do it. >> you know, and we are looking at that. >> trump did not miss an opportunity top slam hillary clinton on jobs, highlighting clinton's vulnerability among white blue-collar voters. trump referring to a statement clinton made at a cnn town hall while talking about her clean energy bill. >> we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business. >> she said i want to put the miners and the mines out of business. who would vote for her? we want to put our people back to work. >> clinton later apologizing to coal workers for what she called a misstatement. >> our people should have more pride in buying made in the usa. remember the old days? >> clinton quick to point out that trump benefits from the foreign labor he now scorns. >> trump ties are made in china. trump suits in mexico. >> all this as sources tell cnn that new jersey governor chris christie and former house speaker newt gingrich are being vetted to be trump's running mate. trump intends to announce his pick at the republican national convention just weeks away. and when it comes to those endorsements, trump has repeatedly said he believes he can win the white house with or without endorsements from gop insiders. he says the best endorsements are the ones that come from voters, but clearly alisyn, this is still something getting under his skin. >> jason, thanks so much for all of that. so for more on the race for the white house, let's bring in our cnn political commentators. we have corey lewandowski, former trump campaign manager, and bakary sellers, he supports hillary clinton. great to have both of you here. let's talk about this rally yesterday, last night in manchester, new hampshire. donald trump -- let me just play for you what he said about mexico, because it seemed to be -- well, first of all, i believe this is video here of corey lewandowski. i don't know if you can see this, corey. you are sort of pushing away the camera here at one point. i'll just start here. so you were at this rally yesterday with mr. trump? >> i was at the rally. as you know, i'm the chairman of the new hampshire delegation to the republican convention. i was there to support the republican nominee. all of the sudden it's a newsworthy event, which i find very interesting. i live here in new hampshire. it was a pleasure to go there and to show my support for the republican nominee. >> well, i guess the question is, what is your relationship with the campaign at this point? >> i have a great relationship with the campaign. i have said very publicly and i will reiterate today that i will do everything i can to make sure donald trump is the next president of the united states. i've never wavered from that and i won't. the bottom line is you've got a choice between a person who can create jobs in the private sector and has done so or hillary clinton, who is potentially under indictment. i'm going to support the candidate who's going to create jobs and put america back to work. >> did you speak with mr. trump at the event? >> of course. i said hello to mr. trump. he and i have a very good relationship. i was honored to be part of that team. i've said that many times, and i will continue to talk to neighbors and friends and use any social media opportunities i can to ensure that he wins the state of new hampshire. >> but are you giving him advice at this point? >> well, when you say give him advice, i'll do the same thing i've always been able to do, which is give my advice to the people who are surrounding him and if they ask for my input, i'll be happy to give it. look, i don't work for the campaign anymore. so my advice is as good as anybody else's advice. >> okay. bakary, what i was going to talk about was the substance of what mr. trump said, so let's get to that. he talked about mexico at this rally. there seemed to be a mixed message. let me play that moment for everyone. >> mexico -- and i respect mexico, i respect their leaders. what they've done to us is incredible. their leaders are so much smarter, so much sharper. it's incredible. in fact, that could be a mexican plane up there, they're getting ready to attack. so that's the way it is, folks. >> i'm confused. >> i am too. i think a lot of people are. i think that's the donald trump that scares people. that's the reason that many republicans are even afraid to get behind donald trump because he stays so far off the beaten path. i mean, there he is again reading off scripts and reading off teleprompters, but then he takes a nose dive into something that makes no sense to anyone watching. to corey's point, i love when corey and all the other trump fans love to see donald trump creates jobs and he's the only person to create jobs in the private sector. that's true, the private sector in china, the private sector in bangladesh. all his products from his ties to his suits to his bar wear to his furniture are all made somewhere other than america. it's pretty ironic that -- >> or or the tens of thousands of people that work for mr. trump's corporation right now, including at doral. the only jobs hillary clinton has created is, you know, someone who's an i.t. person who's controlling a server which is illegal that has illegal e-mails on it. she's never created a job in the private sector. let's put the records next to each other. right now donald trump employs thousands of people in this country in the private sector. >> corey, when he says i have a great respect for mexico and their leaders are so much sharper, i assume he means the u.s. leader, but he says there's mexico right now, they're getting ready to attack. i get he was trying to make a joke. that was an unscripted moment. a plane flew over. but how does he feel about mexico? that is a mixed message. >> what he has said is he's ashamed our leadership has been outmaneuvered by the leadership of mexico. they have taken advantage of the united states time and time again. yesterday mr. trump spoke in manchester, new hampshire, at a shuttered plant which used to employ 400 or 500 new hampshire and massachusetts residents. those jobs have been shipped to mexico. he had the opportunity to speak with a person who literally trained his replacements and then they took those jobs and moved them to mexico. this isn't what our country should be doing. we should be employing people here. those private companies should have the opportunity to participate here. it's about putting americans first. that message has not changed from day one. he has said from day one, the mexican leaders are too smart for us, and we need someone who's a better negotiator. that has never changed. >> corey, i want to the ask you about this tweet that this member of british parliament has put out saying she received two campaign solicitations for donations from the trump campaign, actually signed from donald trump jr. she's british. she tweeted -- wait, let me read you a portion of the solicitation she got. if you haven't given yet, i'm asking you to donate right now to help out the campaign at this critical time, the trump campaign. well, that's illegal to be soliciting donations from foreign leaders or foreigners. so what's going on there? >> well, my guess is the individual opted into an e-mail system because that i know of, the trump campaign has never purchased a list to solicit information. if it's an opt-in and they send a request to the people that opt in, that's perfectly legal. there are people who live overseas that are expay trtrioto have the opportunity to donate to a campaign. >> but she's not a u.s. citizen. >> i don't know the status of this particular individual. >> that's also highly unlikely. >> it is very possible that people who live overseas who want to participate in the u.s. presidential process have the opportunity to do that. >> what's more likely is that the trump campaign, it's been run kind of like the bad news bears, have been dumping many of their mailing lists from their respective corporations and companies throughout the world. when you dump those mail lists into a campaign account, you begin to send mail to people who don't have any ability to vote in the united states. that's what they did. they slipped up. i don't think it was intentionally something that was illegal, but it shows you the type of campaign being run. it's not one that's a general election presidential campaign. >> there is now, corey, an fec complaint, an investigation. >> one second, one second. this notion, this accusation that the trump campaign is using corporate resources to be part of the campaign is absolutely unequivocally false. if anybody that is a problem with their e-mail system, it's clearly the hillary clinton campaign and the state department that she oversaw at the time. >> how would a member of british parliament have gotten this solicitation? >> if the member of the british parliament or anybody else for that matter opted into the donald trump e-mail system -- >> she said -- >> look, it's possible. but the bottom line is that anybody who opted into the system voluntarily, and anybody can opt out at any time -- >> she didn't opt in. >> they can opt in or out of the system. >> but she didn't opt in. >> maybe she didn't. look, i don't know the answer to this specific case, but there's millions of people on this list. there are people who live overseas who want to contribute to the presidential campaign because hillary clinton will be a disaster for israel and they know that. >> okay. let's talk about what's going on with hillary clinton's e-mails. loretta lynch had this impromptu tarmac meeting with bill clinton. today that has forced her to have to say that she will not be involved in whartever decision the fbi makes into the conclusion of her e-mails. how did this happen? >> i think the optics are bad. anybody who deals in law understands the words ex parte. you try not to have any ex parte communications. the fact of the matter is it's not illegal. the fact of the matter is although the optics are bad, it's not unethical. >> what was bill clinton doing? >> i think you have to take both of them for what they said. you had a conversation about golf and a conversation about grandkids. but even more importantly, let's talk about loretta lynch and her character and her ethics. loretta limpynch got confirmed a republican-led united states senate. her record as a prosecutor and attorney general cannot be impeached when it comes to ethics. >> well, senator cornyn says she could go further and recuse herself. he says, i have called repeatedly on attorney general loretta lynch to appoint a special council to ensure the investigation is as far from politics as possible. why not call a special council? >> this does not give credence to the rise of this call for a special prosecutor by any stretch. this is not any malpractice, any bad behavior, anything illegal that attorney general lynch has done. so therefore, of course they're going to make this a political football. >> corey, what does the other side want to see have happen here? >> alisyn, here's the problem. this everything is that's wrong with washington. the political elites taking care of political elites, friends covering their back of friends. this is so shameful, honestly. i have great respect for the fbi director, who everyone has said he's going to do the right thing, whatever that decision is, and i'm glad that she's going to take that recommendation. the bottom line is this meeting should have never taken place. if you for one second believe that she had a private meeting with former president bill clinton and talked about grandchildren and golf, then it's really shameful this even took place. >> but what do you think -- corey, what why are you suggesting? >> what i suggest is she should absolutely recuse herself. clearly the discussion of where this investigation was taking place. there's two people or very few who actually knew what took place. the optics are terrible. she should have never been on that airplane. this is a disaster. this is the problem with washington, d.c. this the elites taking care of the elites. they know what's coming down. we know that the i.t. executive has taken the fifth amendment, no less than 100 times. there's a real problem with this e-mail system. now all the sudden we find a private meeting between bill clinton and the current attorney general who's the person tasked with ultimately prosecuting this case should it move forward. this is shameful. >> i think it's ironic that corey in the last segment was just talking about the fact we should take donald trump's word that something illegal in the campaign didn't simply happen. but now on the other side, he says, oh, my god, he's omniscient and knows something happened. that's not the case. you have to trust loretta lynch. >> this is the highest law enforcement officer in the land meeting with the husband of the person who's potentially under criminal indictment. >> on a tarmac. >> but it doesn't look good. you've agreed it doesn't look good. >> the optics are bad. i don't disagree with that. >> on that note, thank you very much for the debate, gentlemen. . well, turkish officials tell cnn they have strong evidence that isis leadership was directly involved in planning the istanbul airport attack. this morning we're learning new details about that alleged planner and how the three terrorists got into turkey in the first place. cnn anchor brooke baldwin is live at the istanbul airport with the latest. so brooke, we're learning of a russian connection to these attackers. >> reporter: yeah, we have a name now from this alleged mastermind, organizer. this isis commander, this kevinkevi chechen has a nickname. it's apparently ahmed one arm because he's missing an arm. apparently he's the one that would have helped organize this triple suicide bombing here at the istanbul airport a couple nights ago. he's also apparently believed to be part of this isis cell specifically targeting facilities both here in turkey and u.s. facilities as well. this is what we're getting from congressman michael mccaul. also, we're hearing this attack was specifically planned as the muslim holy month of ramadan was winding down. also, fascinating details here from nima, our senior international correspondent and her crew, who actually took a trip about 30 minutes here from the airport to this neighborhood within istanbul. it's a district within this community where apparently investigators believe these three would-be bombers at the time holed themselves up for about a month coming into turkey, again believed to have come from the isis de facto capital of syria. she talked to the landlord who confirmed, yes, he rented this apartment to these three guys. apparently a neighbor had smelled some odd sort of chemical smell, thought it was perhaps a gas leak. someone else nima had talked to said the curtains were constantly closed, except for a few times seeing a few guys sticking their head out the window smoking cigarettes. that's what we know about where they were for the last month. we know investigators are combing through that entire area. alisyn? >> okay, brooke. thanks to you and nima for all of that reporting. we'll check back. just days after the istanbul attack, millions of americans, of course, are heading out this july fourth weekend. if you're traveling, you can expect to see more security at airports and also at many of the fireworks displays across the country. cnn's chris frates is live at d.c.'s airport. how's it looking there? >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. july 4th is one of the busiest travel holidays of the year. people arriving here at reagan national outside of washington, d.c., to kick off that long holiday weekend. but inside, security officials very much thinking about the attacks that happened at the istanbul airport just a few days ago. they're ramping up security here and at airports across the country. u.s. security personnel are mobilizing to protect the over 40 million americans traveling this weekend. >> the american public should expect to see this july 4th weekend an enhanced security presence at airports, train stations, and other transit centers. >> reporter: the u.s. is home to four of the world's top ten busiest airports, topping that list hartsfield jackson in atlanta. >> i guess you're more vigilant. you're looking around for things probably more than you normally would. >> reporter: the airport is increasing its security presence, some even going undercover. >> we have people that are not necessarily dressed as officers that are patrolling as well. >> reporter: officials are also beefing up security outside the terminals and along local roads. >> i can't discuss what we're doing to harden the perimeter of hartsfield jackson, but what i can tell you is it's substantial and serious. >> reporter: the nation's other top three airports in chicago, los angeles, and dallas-ft. worth are also heightening their security measure. >> we're focused like a laser beam. when it comes to soft targets, you can't completely, you know, i understand late yourself. but there's no question we're in a heightened focus. >> reporter: counterterrorism officials are also focusing on soft targets like the july 4th fireworks displays in new york and in our nation's capital, where massive crowds are expected to catch the independence day celebrations. >> precautions have been taken. planning has been going on for months. it is a coordinated, multiagency event. >> reporter: while officials are always concerned about terrorist events, a homeland security official saying there's no specific or credible threat this holiday weekend, and that tracks with what i've heard from airline executives and officials who don't have any heightened concerns either. they're hoping tsa can move these travelers through the lines quickly. they've spent millions of dollars to help expedite that process. looking at the airport lines here at 7:15, they're already really, really long. jim, back to you. >> it's a key point. this is out of an abundance of caution. nothing credible, but they want to take these steps. the airport attack in turkey capturing the world's attention. up next, more on what we have learned about the attack mastermind and how those attackers got themselves into turkey. hi baby! hi daddy! gain the freedom to fumble with the new water and shatter-

mutual insurance. welcome back. this morning we're learning more about the terrorists behind that horrible attack at istanbul airport and the alleged master mind who is a well-known isis leader. let's discuss with cnn global affairs analyst and contributing writer for "the daily beast." she's kimberly doser. and former cia analyst phil mudd. these fighters came from russia, came from the southern republics of russia. why is that important? i suppose one thing shows isis draws fighters from everywhere in the world. >> intelligence officials say up to 7,000 fighters have come from russian and caucasus areas to join the fight. part of the 44,000 foreign fighters who have gone into syria. now, isis is only about 10,000 strong inside syria now. they're not all foreign fighters, but they are supposed to be the most committed and the most well trained. they've often fought in disputes in the caucasuses, and now they've had a couple years of hard fighting. sometimes successful campaigns beating back well-trained forces. so when you look at the kind of coolness under fire of the attack at ataturk airport, that speaks to me of someone who has dealt with that before and can just keep pushing through the ranks of trained policemen until stopped. >> phil, what did you think when you heard the origin of these three terrorists? uzbekistan, kyrgyzstan, and russia? >> a couple things. the first is the significance of syria in the fight against europe and turkey by isis. in the past, if you were a foreign fighter, you'd have to go to some isolated place, a place like afghanistan. very difficult to get to if you're coming from russia, if you're coming from western europe. if you think about isis in syria, much more geographically accessible for someone from russia or europe. therefore, the likelihood that a 17-year-old, a 20-year-old can travel is much higher. the next major piece is this group of people going into syria isn't being used as cannon fodder by isis. they're not being used on the battlefield of syria. isis has taken a step many terror groups never take. that is, we're taking these individuals coming in and we're going to send them back overseas. that's why the threat is so high. >> kim, this is happening. the impression is you have a punitive isis tie to orlando. you have this horrible attack in istanbul. paris, brussels. people at home must be thinking, isis is everywhere today. but on the good side, they are getting squeezed in their home bases. iraq, syria, big losses on the ground there. is this partially a reaction to that? they're kind of striking out because they've been cornered. >> yes, they've been planning this for a while. they realized with the forces raiding against them a year ago that eventually they'd start to lose and have to contract. you can already see on the battlefield inside iraq that they've switched to more terrorist tactics, melting back into the population and staging car bombs inside baghdad, other places, to just remind people that they're still there. in terms of syria, they contract into raqqah. we already know they've sent some of their senior people not just to libya, where they're under pressure, but to other parts of africa so they can continue this campaign. as they transition from this traditional military force back to a more traditional terrorist group, they're reminding everyone, here's what we can accomplish. we said we'd attack. we called for attacks over ramadan. here we carried it out, even though you were prepared. >> phil, we know that the check points between turkey and syria are not hardened. in fact, you can bribe your way in from syria. so how's turkey going to respond to this now? >> i think the question for turks long term is not just what they do at check points but whether they engage actively in syria. there's on the edge of a decision that's hugely significant for turkey because of that border. i don't think they can control the border. we can't control the border with mexico. i think we tend to be too critical of foreign countries that have the same problem we do. the question is bigger. do they expand a bombing campaign? what kind of diplomatic pressure to they bring on the russians to come to the table with the americans to come up with a solution solution? the border is a problem. that problem is going to exist as long as there's an isis in syria. i don't think they can close it. >> do we know that there's any hard threat to the u.s. from isis the july 4th weekend, or is this more precautionary as you see security increased at airports? >> so far precautionary, no known specific plots. no one was expecting or ining o. we still don't know if the orlando shooter was truly inspired by isis. but we know that isis is trying. the cia chief warned us that he was -- that isis as a group is trying to inspire anyone in the u.s. to respond to its call, use the means available, choose the target, and carry something out. >> that's the new normal, right? >> absolutely. people just have to be on guard, do the best they can as they head out. >> live your life. >> right. kimber kimberly, phil, thank you very much. britain grappling with its new reality after the brexit vote. with david cameron on the way out, who will be britain's next prime minister? richard quest has some ideas. he takes us through who's in and who's out next. well, britain in a political crisis just a week after voting to leave the eu. several candidates vying to replace the outgoing prime minister david cameron, but it doesn't include two key players who actually pushed for brexit. here to break it all down, richard quest. he's the anchor of cnn international's "quest means business." richard, you have a quirky, rule-breaking, wild-haired political revolutionary, in heskt gets what he wants with brexit, and walks off the stage. is that how to explain it? >> at the last minute this man boris johnson, who had been mayor of london, and this is how the morning newspaper puts it this morning. brt "brexicuted" they're calling it. they're calling it an act of midnight treachery. because boris johnson n, in a w that you just don't get, maybe for the speaker of the house occasionally, but you just don't get in the united states. he was knifed in the back right at the last minute by his number two, who announced that he was going to stand because boris wasn't up to the job. so boris goes out the door, and this other man, michael gove, who had been the justice secretary and the education secretary, says -- by the way, this guy michael gove has spent the last ten years telling us he didn't want to be prime minister, including, jim, saying that he would sign a parchment in his own blood that he doesn't want to be prime minister. now he says -- oh, by the way, can i be the prime minister? >> what's interesting, too, is you have a leadership crisis in the labor party too. to put it in american terms, it's like the democrats and republicans both lost their leadership or had this huge internal war at the same time. this must be really unsettling for british voters. >> it is more than unsettling. you have the labor party, which is mother majesty's loyal opposition, in total disarray. look, the best personification of their disaster, the leader of the party holds a press conference against anti-semitism, and in doing so manages to make an anti-semitic comment comparing israel to isis. now, doesn't that just tell you the state of british politics? we have -- i mean, look, the ruling conservatives are having a disorderly but at least they're getting on with the leadership campaign. labor is a complete and utter mess. the governor of the bank of england stepped in yesterday and said interest rates will probably have to be cult in the summer. it has been a week. famous british prime minister once said a week is a very long time in politics. i venture to suggest we're talking about minutes rather than weeks. >> so let me ask you this. americans' attention got focused on british politics a week ago when britain surprised everyone, including on this side of the pond, by leaving the eu. you've had all this talk since then that maybe it was just a political ploy, maybe they'll find a way around it. partly, you know, which was on the shoulders of boris johnson because people thought he was pushing for it but didn't really want it deep down inside. now he's gone. is that a dream to imagine that brexit doesn't happen? or is britain locked on this path? >> watch my lips, as george bush said, read my lip. wishful thinking. the leader who's likely to be -- i won't put money on it, but the person who's more than likely to be the next british prime minister is the home secretary, the interior minister, theresa may. very sensible woman. she doesn't do showy, she told us yesterday. but she said yesterday quite clearly, brexit means brexit. no staying in the eu by the back door, no second referendum. now, if she is elected prime minister or leader of the party, then look, it is just wishful thinking from the remainers, those who wanted to stay in. but the reality every way i see it at the moment, we are heading towards leaving the european union. that's what people voted for. >> and it's a big deal for the u.s. too. our closest ally arguably in europe. >> absolutely. >> richard quest, you make it very understandable. >> very difficult for whoever becomes u.s. president to determine what that relationship to walk the line between the uk and the eu. >> goodness gracious. richard quest, great to have you. alisyn, back to you. >> understandable and entertaining, i feel, richard quest always makes his reports. so what do we know about the mastermind of that attack in turkey? what we have learned this morning and what this information means. we have the former chairman of the house intelligence committee joining us next about where this guy was on the radar. cnn has new information about the identity of the mastermind of the turkey terror attack. it turns out he is well known. joining us now is cnn national security commentator and former chairman of the house intelligence committee mike rodgers. he's also the host of the new cnn series "declassified." good morning, mike. >> good morning, alisyn. >> tell us what we know about this chechen. his nickname is ahmed one arm. >> yeah, he's from the northern caucasus. why this is significant, if you look back in the early days of targeting al qaeda with air strikes in the tribal areas of pakistan and along the afghan border, a lot of those air strikes were targeted and actually hit uzbeks, chechens coming down to get fighting experience to fight for the cause, all of that. as a matter of fact, the intelligence always seemed to be better on what people in that region would call foreigners. so they've had this long history of engagement in this throughout this entire region in terrorist activities. they had pledged to al qaeda, they had fought for the taliban. now they're fighting for isis. they tend to like to be at the front end of this fight. this is somebody who had been wounded along the process of all of that fighting and had taken some stature in the organization as somebody who had leadership qualities and capabilities. so he is a top lieutenant in what is the war ministry for isis, meaning his job is to put out and do offensive operations. so this doesn't surprise me. i think what is surprising about this is that through syria, they were able to send folks into turkey -- >> but why is that surprising, mike? we've heard that's one of the conduits. >> well, it's only because he's not used to target assad forces or other forces within syria. so what they're using now -- and this is something that baghdadi has talked about for years. baghdadi wanted to attack outside of syria in iraq. zarqawi didn't want him to do that. he wanted him to focus on assad in syria. so what this is, is an extension of what baghdadi has been trying to do, which is why you see attacks on the united states, istanbul, paris, and brussels. so this operation clearly is a different cell than we might see in others. the problem here is, alisyn, this is a multiple layered problem for all of us. there are some 250,000 missing documents for travel. everything from residency stamps to blank passports all across europe. this is a huge problem. that means they were able to get in very easily, and it reports are correct that they took the weapons and vests with them, that complicates turkey's problem even more and extends into europe because if they can get into turkey, they can move west pretty easily. >> it sure seems like it. mike, what's so interesting is at the same time, we hear about the successes that the u.s. and the coalition are having on hitting isis targets in iraq, but not everyone thinks that this has been a success. in fact, our own barbara starr spoke with the air force chief of intelligence this week. she asked him to rate on a scale of one to ten how do you think we're doing in this fight. let me play for you his answer. >> i would give us a five, which means we have a lot of work to do. the problem is not having enough fighter jets to drop bombs. the problem is having enough legitimate targets that we can strike that can put isil on their heels. >> so we've heard this problem before. you need boots on the ground in order to call out the targets to the fighter jets. >> the longer we let this go -- i mean, every time we get a press release, this town fell, that town fell, fallujah, that's no small undertaking and it was a good victory for iraqi forces and the coalition, but it's never enough. the tempo of this is not enough. we have lots and lots of experience on how to dismantle and disrupt al qaeda. it worked. very high tempo. in this, we don't have that. we have fits and starts and the iraqis pull back and they're engaged in the fight, they take a down, lose a town. this is not a campaign for victory. unless we do something about the command center in raqqah, this is going to happen again. they're clearly able to plan, finance, recruit operations from raqqah and other places in eastern syria. until we have a coordinated plan to actually deal with this problem, then you're going to see long lines at airports where everybody is nervous here in the united states and istanbul and bruf brussels and paris. i don't know how much longer we should take this without putting together a more aggressive, high-tempo plan to get rid of isis. >> mike, let's talk about the next episode of "declassified." you take us behind the scenes of the hunt for al zarqawi. tell us about it. >> the timing of this couldn't be better. if you see what's happening in syria and western iraq, zarqawi was the godfather of isis. his big mentor was al baghdadi, who's now head of isis, operating in eastern syria. zar c zarqawi brought all the brutality to the battlefield. he slaughtered anybody he could find. this is the story of the intelligence and special operators trying to put together a plan to find somebody who didn't want to be found and a lot of people didn't want him found. it is all of the intrigues of a great spy novel, only it's told through the stories of the people who really lived it. as i said, couldn't be more timely given all the efforts that are happening in eastern syria and iraq. i think people are going to love it and should tune in this sunday at 10:00. >> mike rodgers, will do. thank you for that preview. be sure to watch mike's show this sunday night at 10:00 p.m. here on cnn. thanks, mike. let's get to jim. another great story coming up. the man featured in the wildly popular serial podcast will get a new day in court. his attorney will join us live to talk about this latest incredible twist in his case. els going to clean better than a manual. he said sure...but don't get just any one. get one inspired by dentists, with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush head cups your teeth to break up plaque and rotates to sweep it away. and oral-b delivers a clinically proven superior clean versus sonicare diamondclean. my mouth feels super clean! oral-b. know you're getting a superior clean. i'm never going back to a manual brush. trial for adnan syed, a household name, after the "serial" podcast, questioning his conviction of the murder of his ex-girlfriend. joining us now, his attorney, who has been with him through his appeals. justin, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> so first, congratulations to you. i imagine this is an enormous achievement, but let me ask you about adnan. does he know about this? has word gotten through to him? have you been able to speak to him to get his reaction? >> i have not been able to speak to him. we have been trying to contact him at the prison yesterday afternoon, and we didn't have any luck. but i think it's fair to assume that word has gotten to him by now. he is pretty well liked at the prison, so i think once the guards become aware of it, they're going to share the news with him. >> so, all right, the podcast, i know the details well. a lot of folks might know the general outlines but not the details. there were two key pieces of evidence that really seemed to turn this one being that cell phone tower technology was used at very early stage of information we had at cell phone technology to put him at the scene of where her body was found. and the other was there was a witness who saw him somewhere else when the murder was believed to have taken place. were those two factors that turned the judge on this? >> they were. and specifically, the judge granted the new trial based on the cell tower evidence and questions that we raised about whether it was reliable or not. we presented to the court a fax cover sheet that say incoming calls are not reliable for location status. and it was specifically those incoming calls that the state had relied upon in obtaining their conviction. so the post conviction judge agreed with us that that disclaimer or instruction on that fax cover sheet was significant enough to merit a new trial. >> now, this of course comes down to the law. there was a decision made in court by an experienced judge, but without the serial podcast, without putting this into the public conversation the way that that remarkable piece of jurn l journalism did, do you believe you could are gotten this decision but the chance to have a decision like this? >> i think that without "serial" and without other investigation from even other podcasts like undisclosed, i don't think we would have gotten as far as we did get. we're here today in this position in a large part thanks to "serial", and undisclosed. >> you mentioned before serial, there was another podcast by an attorney and a family friend of syed, who first got at the cell tower information, so we should give credit where credit is due. this other piece about asia mcclain, she was a friend of adnan, who was at the library that day and said she saw him there. but she was never interviewed during the previous trial. how did that happen? >> right. so weep able to establish that, number one, this person, asia mcclain, had come forward to say, and she had written a letter to adnan saying that, hey, i remember seeing you at the library that day. and the time frame that she said she remembered him from was the exact same time that the state theorized that this took place. we were able to establish that that information was in the defense file. so the defense attorney should have been aware of that. however, for whatever reason, and you know, really we will never know why, the attorney failed to do the simple thing and pick up a phone and call the alibi witness and see if the story was legitimate. >> we have time before the trial. are you going to push for bail for adnan syed for the time in between and do you think you can win it? >> we haven't made a final decision on that, because quite frankly, i've got to talk to my client about it. but i think that if we do pursue it, we could put together a very compelling argument, you know. we would argue very strenuously that he is not a threat to flee. and he is not a danger to the community. and that some type of precautions can be put in place to allow him to be out on bail. >> you know, a lot of folks are still split on this case, even sarah conic who did the podcast, she can't decide in her own heart whether she thinks he did it or not. i want to ask you, do you believe he is innocent? >> yeah, i mean, i've known adnan for seven years now. i know the case in great detail, as well as anyone. i believe in his innocence, and i believed in it since i first met himself en years ago. >> justin brown -- >> we look forward to a day when we can prove that in court. >> we look forward to following the story. justin brown, thank you very much. we're following a lot of news. let's get right to it. it's almost in some ways i'm running against two parties. >> donald trump's big theme for his whole campaign is let's build walls. >> that could be a mexican plane up there, they're getting ready to attack. >> donald trump was not my second choice. he was not my third choice. >> we don't play the game the way they play the game. >> the three bombers came to turkey a month ago, from the isis strong hold city of raqqah. >> these are people who were committed to seeing this attack out to its completion. >> a strong chemical smell emanating from the flat rented by the attackers. >> security is being ramped up at u.s. airports. >> we're concerned at public events and public places across the nation. zt terrifying moment caught on camera. >>announcer: this is "new day," with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. okay, so we'll tell you the outcome what happened there in that video. >> welcome to your "new day," friday, july 1st, great to be alongside alisyn camerota again. >> happy to have you here. jim sciutto in for chris today. deepening over trade, lashing out at the party establish. feels to him like he is running against two parties. >> this, as hillary clinton faces criticism over bill clinton's private meeting with the attorney general. so will loretta lynch recuse herself from the clinton e-mail probe that is still underway. let's begin our coverage with jason carroll, lots of news in both parties. >> absolutely. good morning. donald trump has strong opinions about what lynch should do. he is also making movement on who his vice-president should be. all this, as trump continues to take aim at some members of his own party for not supporting him. >> it was a rough primary. they got beat up. but they went after me too. and you know, we beat them up, and now they don't want to endorse. and you know, it's almost in some ways like i'm running against two parties. >> donald trump at war with his own party. and defending his protectionist trade agenda. >> why are people upset that we're free trade that i like. that i want to make better deals. i said i want to make better deals with plex cmexico, with c. he is messing with free trade. no i'm messing with bad deals that i can make good. why would somebody fight that. >> trump calling out the u.s. chamber of commerce for the second day in a row. >> they fight, oh, trump wants to stop free trade. i don't want to stop free trade. i want to make great deals. >> in his rally in new hampshire, criticized for his off-the-cuff comment discussing mexico and nafta. he says it takes manufacturing jobs away from the u.s. >> their leaders are so much sharper and smartsmarter. it could be a mexican plane up there, getting ready to attack. >> drawing more criticism for this exchange with the woman who asked him about using veterans to replace muslim tsa workers, wearing head scarves or hijahbs. >> we need the veterans back in there. they fought for the country. they'll still do it. >> we are looking at that. >> trump did not miss an opportunity to slam hillary clinton on jobs. highlighting clinton's vulnerability among white, blue collar voters, trump referring to a statement clinton made at a cnn town hall while talking about her clean energy bill. >> we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business. >> she said i want to put the miners and the mines out of business. who would vote for her? we want to put our people back to work. >> clinton, later apologized to coal workers for what she called a misstatement. >> our people should have more pride in buying made in the u.s. remember the old days? >> quick to point out that trump benefits from the foreign labor he scorns. >> trump ties made in china, trump suits in mexico. >> all this, as sources tell cnn that chris christie and newt gingrich are being vetted to be trump's running mate. he plans to make an announcement weeks away. >> it could be key for those in the gop still on the fence about getting behind trump. susan collins is waiting to see who trump will pick as a running mate before she will endorse him. alisyn, jim. >> thank you. >> justice department officials say attorney general loretta lynch will not overrule the findings of the prosecutors if they decide to bring charge oefrs her use of a private e-mail server as secretary of state. lynch, facing a firestorm of criticism after a private meeting with former president bill clinton at an airport tarmac in phoenix. let's discuss with senior political commentator, former senior advisor to president obama, david axelrod. david, thanks so much for joining us this morning. i want to play now for you and our viewers how loretta lynch characterized the meeting. >> he did come over and say hello and speak to my husband and myself, and talk about his grandchildren and his travels, and things like that. so that was the extent of that. and no discussions were held in any cases or anything of that. he didn't raise anything about that, either. >> so david, she says he didn't raise anything, but bill clinton is a seasoned politician with a lot of experience. he knows this investigation is going on. what was he thinking? knowing the potential optics in the middle of a difficult presidential race. >> that sounds like a rhetorical question. i think that -- i don't think he was thinking. i think that the attorney general made a mistake as well. i absolutely take her at her word. i'm sure they weren't talking about the case, but each of them are sophisticated enough to know that such a meeting would raise eyebrows, and in this hot bed, you know, the hot house of a presidential campaign, you knew it was going to be an issue. so they should have avoided the situation. the optics were bad. >> but david, just to dive deeper there, was farmer president clinton not thinking, or was this part of sort of a charm offensive of some kind, that if he goes over and makes nice, and they talk about their grandchildren, it is certainly harder to indict his wife? >> you know, i would feel -- i would feel maybe a little more that way if not for decades of experience with bill clinton, who does that with everybody. i mean, he is the most eboliant person you can find. anybody he meets, from the baggage handler at the airport to world leaders. that's who bill clinton is. it's just that in this case, he should have exercised some restraint or someone traveling with him should have said mr. president, maybe we should say hello and move on. the attorney general -- apparently, it was 108 degrees, why don't we step on the plane. the fact that a quick hello turned into a 30 minute conversation is also characteristic of bill clinton, who is a character. so i don't put too much to it, but i do think that it was bad judgment on both their parts. >> okay, so now we've had a fairly quick reaction where you have just the next day, perhaps realizing the police e political sensitivity of this, you have loretta lynch saying she is going to accept the determinations of the fbi and prosecutors, the precedent here was eric holder overruled his own prosecutors in the case of david petraeus. she is not going to do that. but not quite actually a recuesle. do you think politically, that step is enough? >> well, first of all, i think that the press reports are this was in the works for some time. obviously the times of that announcement was probably prompted by the furor over this meeting. and i don't think it will stop those who want to make the point for making it. you know, we're in the middle of a very hotly contested presidential race. there is hardly anything that she could do that would probably satisfy people on the other side. >> well, i mean what, about a special prosecutor. that's what the republican, some republicans are calling for. >> yeah, you know, i think that the -- that would be an extraordinary step at this point. you know, what you're saying is basically we don't trust the fbi director, we don't trust the career prosecutors to handle this case, and you know, i think that would be an indictment of them. i don't think that would be the right thing to do. at this point, i don't know what the -- i'm not a lawyer. i don't know what the timing would be if you appointed a special prosecutor, and whether that would lengthen this process, which would create another set of circumstances. >> let me ask you, david, because another headline from donald trump yesterday talking about how he is running against two parties now. basically saying that openly. i'm not just running against the democrats, i'm running against the republicans. we already know the tensions between him and the republican party. is this a smart strategy? because fact is, there are a lot of members of both parties that are not satisfied with the leadership or direction of their parties. >> right. yeah, i mean, it's awkward in the senses about to go something called the republican national convention. and so that makes it an awkward thing to say. but as a political strategy, look, donald trump's calling card is that he is challenging the establishment in washington. he is challenging pol particulars as usual. he is challenging businesses as usual. i'm sure with particularly independent voters and some dis affected voters in the republican party, maybe a few in the democratic party, that is what they want to hear. they don't want someone who is a conventional politician. so his willingness to say you know what, i'm challenging both parties, probably is a smart thing to do. >> very quickly, david. what about tim kaine, former virginia governor, who is now in some trouble of some kind that he accepted over the course of eight years, $160,000 in gifts, not illegal, most of these were gifts of travel, being able to fly on somebody's plane, he disclosed them, but still, does this sort of color the question of whether or not he would be a suitable vp pick for hillary clinton? >> well, i think what it really reflects is that he is high on the list for hillary clinton, and i think there are people in both parties who have done a little research in order to do that. as you point out, all of that stuff was disclosed on his form. you a the reason it becomes relevant is largely because of the case of his successor, governor mcdonald, whose case was just thrown out by the supreme court, but who was convicted for taking gifts from a particular friend/donor for whom he then arranged meetings. there is no allegation here that kaine did anything for anybody. everything that is being written about, he disclosed probably to a fault. there are some things that were probably on the line as to whether he should disclose it or not. you're going to see these things about him, about elizabeth warren. that's the nature of politics. there are people who have other preferences. on the republican side, if they believe tim kaine is going to be the nominee, they're going to start taking shots at him. do i think it is disqualifying, no, do i think it was aimed at slowing him down as a potential running mate, yes. >> okay, david, thank you so much. great to see you. have a great holiday weekend. >> great to see you. back to our top story. turkish officials tell cnn they have strong evidence that isis leadership was involved in planning the istanbul airport attack. this morning, we have new details about the alleged planner, and how the tackers got into turkey. cnn anchor, brooke baldwin is there with the latest. you have lot of news for us, brooke. >> yeah, alisyn, let's get to it. we have an i.d. on this guy who authorities believe he was the mastermind, the organizer, high up in isis leadership, a guy by the name of akhmed chatayev. his whereabouts are unknown, and he is part of this isis cell, wanting to target turkish facility and u.s. facility. and we're also hearing that the attack here at the istanbul airport a couple of nights ago was purposely orchestrated in the final ten days of the muslim holy month of ramadan as far as who they think was in charge of this. number two, we're getting all this detail as far as where these three suicide bombers were living in istanbul in the month leading up to the attack. we heard from the scene i don't remember turkish official that they had come from the isis strong hold of raqqah down in sir yeah travel syria, middle class neighborhood and our correspondent and crew, they actually, you know, knocked on some doors in the apartment area, talked to the landlord, confirmed with the landlord that these three guys were living there the landlord has talked to police. she talked to some people who lived in the building. one woman said that in the last few days, there was an odd smell, smelled like chemicals, perhaps she thought, maybe it was some sort of gas leak. she talked to someone else who thought oftentimes the curtains were closed. no one came out of the apartment, except to hang their heads out the window and smoke cigarettes. my question was, well, all right, if they had questions, did they tell authority. she said one of the women she spoke with did speak up to sort of the elders in the community, but so many foreigners, jim, you know, live in this particular part or have been moving into this particular part of istanbul, it wasn't that out of the ordinary, and you just don't go around and question who these people were. jim. >> all these things can look shady in retrospect. hard to say at the time. brooke, thank you so much. back here in the u.s., millions of americans ready to hit the roads, rails, airports, just days after the attacks in turkey. there will be heightened security at these transit hubs, as well as fire works gatherings. chris frates is live at reagan airport. are you seeing a lot of security? >> you see a lot of the security here. the july 4th weekend clearly underway as you can see behind me. lots of people arriving, kicking off the long holiday weekend. here at reagan national, walking around the airport, you can see the increased security, you can see law enforcement with long guns out. the dogs are out sniffing. but it is not just here in d.c. it is across the country. atlanta, for instance, they have more undercover police officers doing work. they're particularly focused on those soft targets, places like this, where you arrive to the airport before you go to security, where we've seen attacks both in turkey and brussels. the police in atlanta also looking at local roads. i talked to former tsa administrator, john pistol and i asked him what to do if there were an active shooter situation. here is what he told me. >> the three basic tenants are ride, hide, fight. so if you hear shots, run away from those shots. if you can't run for whatever reason, multiple shooters or something, then hide. do the best job of that. and only as a last resort, then you fight. you try to defend yourself. >> reporter: now, officials are always worried about a terror attack, it is important to point out that homeland security telling cnn there is no specific or correspondsable attacks right now, and that squares with what i heard from airline ask yexecu. they're hoping tsa can move people through the airport security lines quickly. they've spent millions of dollars to help expedite the process, but looking at the airport lines this morning, i've got it tell you, they're very long. i advise people to get to the airport as early as they can. these are some pretty long lines, alisyn. >> chris, good advice. thank you for that. new this morning, a federal judge blocks mississippi's objections law, which was set to take effect today. the district judge saying that the opt out would violate the constitution's equal protection guarantee, while also enabling the state to favor some relig n religions over others. the pentagon releasing a report finding ten u.s. navy sailors captured by iran in january suffered from failed leadership at all levels. the report found the sailors veered off course, had no idea they were in iranian waters, and up to six more sailors could be disciplined. concluding the americans did not violate international law, but the iranians did by seizing the boats as well as taking these photographs of the crew. here is some disturbing video out of denver. in it, a homeless man, he runs toward people and attempts to beat them. one guy falls down, as you see one man getting up and running away. the suspect then lunged at another group of people. he hit them. only one person, we're happy to report, suffered minor injuries. the suspect was arrested. a motive is unclear. you know, often, jim, a mental health component with these assaults, as well as homelessness. >> how would you react. you don't know what you would do. >> you have to keep your wits about you on this holiday weekend. i don't know, self-defense course in my future. i will say, i'll repeat. counterterror officials all the time, nothing credible or specific. enjoy the holidays, but we're at a new level of awareness now. okay, the terror attack in istanbul had all the hallmarks of isis. what is turkey's next move.

airport. the president is vowing swift action, but how will they strike back against isis. joining us is fareed zakaria. what will turkey's response be to this in. >> well, they've been very tough in recent months, and mostly, what that has meant has been allowing the united states to operate in turkish areas, turkish bases. in many ways, tir key is being hit now because it has cooperated with american efforts in syria. a year ago, turkey was quite peaceful. none of this was going on. what has changed. what changed is turkey joined in the american war against isis. so -- >> since then, since october, they've had eight or nine terror attacks, including the largest one of. a lot has changed. >> isis refers to them as a regime that is allied with the cr crusaders. when we talk about the muslims and west, we want to keep them out, this is a case where a muslim country is helping us battling isis and facing enormous below back and hundreds of citizens are tying because they have ally with the united states. >> mostly muslim victims of that attack, children, women, it's just crazy, but until a year ago, i would hear from u.s. officials usually in private this criticism of turkey as kind of an ambivalent player here, they really wanted the fighter, the jihadis to go in, so they're not our problem. now that they're turning this around, had they acted earlier, i suppose, is the question, had they acted earlier, would isis be less of a threat now to them and in syria, frankly? >> there is no question. i heard the same things you do, jim. turkey had an open-door policy. but let's remember why. again, it is not as crazy as it sounds. the turkish government believed that the assad regime was the problem. you have to destroy it quickly, undermine it, so their view was anyone who wants to fight the assad regime is okay with us. bad policy, stupid policy, because it allowed in a lot of the crazy jihadis, but this is the problem with syria. this is why it is complex. and you know, no matter how you try to simplify it, there is the assad regime on the one hand, which is very bad, but there is its principle military opponent, isis, which is also very bad. we're against both. and so what the turks did foolishly, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. and what you really have to do a much more nuance complicated policy. they have not achieved that. turkish foreign policy has been self-defeating in many ways. i think we should cut them slack and recognize this is a difficult problem. no one quite knows how do it right. the one who does is vladimir putin, which is why russian policy in syria has been successful. >> let's talk about that. i know you sat down with vladimir putin, you had an interview. is it possible that the u.s. and russia will now partner together to fight isis in syria? >> well, on the middle east and on syria, his answer was actually i thought both very sensible and also quite pro-american, in the sense. he said look, we agree with the american position that there needs to be a coalition government that comes together that allows for kind of political transition in syria. our problem is, step one is defeating isis both assad regime, because there has to be a government. the worst thing in syria would be no government. the collapse of order. remember, there are 12 million people living in the area that assad governs. i tend to agree with him. that you know, assad is terrible, but the collapse of the assad regime, and by the way, assad's regime is where all the minorities are living. this is the area people are flying from isis. so his point is step one, let's kill the jihadi threat and then step two, you have brokered compromise. a lot of people feel if you got step one, step two would never happen, because the assad regime is not likely, and that's possibly right. >> the west has made a lot of agreements in russia. think about agreements on ukraine, et cetera. so say you make an agreement. how do you trust russia to follow-through? >> you can trust russia to follow its national interests. the thing i got out of the meeting with putin, he is a smart guy, and he is not some guy of meg low maniac trying to take over the world. he follows russian interests. we have to figure out where can we find russian and american interests. if we can find that there will be places we can cooperate and they will keep their word. if you're trying to hope that he is going to somehow become a western liberal democratic who wants to join the european union, well, yeah, that's not going to happen. >> fareed, always great to have you on. >> thank you so much. donald trump's short list for vice-president is narrowing. up next, michael takes us through it. cnn confirming new jersey governor chris christie and newt gingrich are being vetted. but as a source tells us there could be a surprise in store. let's discuss this, as cnn commentator engine commentat commentator smerconish. let's put up the so-called short list of what we think we know about donald trump's possible picks. on it, governor chris christie, newt gingrich, senator jeff session, and senator bob corker. would he pick christi? what does that buy him. >> here is the starting point. hillary can have whomever she wants. donald cannot. he gets to the short list, because the most a twraktiv candidates would not be interested in being his vice-presidential candidate, like john kasich, like marco rubio. it is a more selective crew he has to pick from. chris christie, i don't know what he brings to the table, because he is not going to win any additional states, given his poll numbers in new jersey, that he will even help in the garden state. i've looked at christi as the attorney general of the trump administration. it is unnlikely. he has put it on the line for donald trump. he is all in this candidacy and paying a price for it at home. >> about whatabout the others, senator bob corker, if you're thinking his deficit is in levelheadedness, whatever the negatives, going that route as opposed to the attack dog route, is there wisdom there for him? >> i think corker and sessions are credible picks. i don't know if they have the star power that donald trump is looking for. he has said that he wants someone, you know, who can bring those traits and characteristics that he has. i think newt falls in that category, although it has been a number of years since he played that insider role. he has been there, done that. that's the deficit that donald trump has. so i think it would be more likely that it is newt gingrich. >> maybe this is all to get us off the scent. who do you think the surprise could be. >> i have no idea. jesse the body ventura. you could say yeah, he is going to do this. >> boris johnson is looking for a job. "washington post" has been reporting it could come as soon as next week, before the convention, which happens to be a time, meant to be a big week for hillary clinton next week. is that something you would look for, take the attention away? >> it is a possibility it could come next week, because then the hope would be it would gf a positive news stories. cleveland is a crap shoot. i've attended many convention. i have no idea what to expect. none as to who will speak in prime teen. whether there will be political faces or entertainment faces. this could set the tone for what's to come in cleveland. >> it will certainly be very exciting. we'll all be there covering it. let's talk about hillary clinton's vp short list, as far as we know it. first up, tim kaine. >> yeah. >> so you know, there is a little bit of scuttlebutt that he has been vetted, and one of the things on earth, even though he disclosed it, $160,000 worth of gifts, mostly travel during his eight years at governor. so that's $20,000 a year. that's not exactly personal gain. and he disclosed it. it was legal. is it a problem? >> first of all, why are we talking about this now? i'm not being critical of you, alisyn. it seems to me, someone who wishes to me hillary's vice-president candidate, or in support of that person dropped it and tried to make it an issue now. i felt the same way about bob o'donnell, which i read twice. the first time i read it, i said this is unseemly, and must be illegal. i read it a second time and still thought it was unsemly, but as you pointed out, it is not illegal. in the case of kaine, he did disclose these gifts. it is the sort of thing that's problematic for hillary, because trust and honesty dog her. so do you really want to come out of the gate, look at what we're talking about today in what you've been talking about, the meeting on the tarmac in phoenix. do you want to start the whole equation with someone who has an issue. >> so what, you talked about donald trump wants, he wants star power, right, what does hillary clinton i suppose two questions, what does she need in the vice-president's role and what does she want? >> she will be more strategic and look at the map. we fall into this every four years, what state might you win with a vp. probably none of them. >> has it ever happened. >> will that stop her, jim, from tacking a hard look at sherrod brown. i don't think so. she will take a long hard look at him. i don't think she wants to be overshown by elizabeth warren. i don't think it will be elizabeth warren for her. so time will tell. my view the race will come down at the top of the ticket. these are two lightning rod, people love and despise them and it will be based on their character and not the second in command. >> thank you, michael. >> check out engineon cnn. vladimir putin, how the two rivals could join forces. we have new information this morning. the obama administration is considering a proposal to team up with russia to defeat syria. barbara starr is at the pentagon. >> if this happened it would be a major turn about for u.s. military with russia. they're considering offering moscow a proposal to team up, sharing intelligence, and targeting of targets inside syria. terror targets. but here is the catch. assad, the president of syria, then would have to agree to stop bombing civilians and rebel groups. defense secretary ash carter still very aware it is the state department that wants this deal, and he is expressing a good deal of skepticism about it. have a listen to what he had to say. >> if the russians would do the right thing in syria, and that's an important condition, as in all cases with russia, we're willing to work with them. that's what we've been urging them to do since they came in. that's the objective that secretary kerry's talks are aimed. if we can get them to that point, that's a good thing. >> so why is all this happening now. well, look, carter pointed out in that same press conference, the u.s. wants to get the rebels to raqqah as far as possible, get raqqah out of isis hands and there will be more rebel troops on the ground, more military advisors on the ground. they don't want to risk the russians making any mistakes, any bombings. feel patriotic this weekend, it began with a dare to sing the "national anthem" and turning an assistant principal in florida into a fen nam. jeanne moos shows you why. >> no one expected to hear this at the lincoln memorial, not even the woman singing. ♪ ♪ >> 34-year-old star swain was a regular tourist. >> so please -- >> coaxed by her friends to do an impromptu performance. >> you could hear the a cous particulars, it was amazing in here. >> at first, no one noticed. then people started to gawk. by the time she got to the ramp parts, she was turning heads. she has been singing since she was a kid. performs mostly in church, so she was shaking with nervousness. >> lord, please let this note come out. ♪ for the land of the free >> the video went viral, comm t commenters gushed about goose bumps. >> they haven't called you for the super bowl yet?

>> well, basically we are running the people's campaign. and i believe it doesn't matter if you're republican, democratic, unaffiliated. you're going to get on board. the one thing i've heard after campaigning over a year and a half, people are tired of politicians saying one thing and getting elected and completely selling out. our campaign is different. >> the former gop chairman says in a state like colorado, you are not going be successful if you pretend in if you're in the heart of texas. demographics are changing. you're running old school, as it were. farther right than many candidates currently sitting for the republican party. how do you battle the direction of the state and pull out a win here? >> well, you know, we've kind of captured this on daryl glenn.com. it is not about partisan pol particulars. it is about leading. i grew up as a reagan conservative. it is about leading, leading from the front. coming up with an agenda. when you think about the current senator being represented here, supporting obama care, supporting the iran nuclear deal. supporting the epa regulations. these are issues that resonate and they're actually crushing constituents in colorado. they need somebody to lead. i'm that leader. >> there has been a lot of talk about having donald trump at the top of the ticket affects the down ballot races, and senate concern and some in the gop establishment that he will lose the senate majority. you say, though, you were backed by crews and sasse earlier. so you do support donald trump. is he an asset for you in colorado? >> well, he is a nominee, but what you need to understand, i've been blessed to be the quarterback of the team. it is my job to carry colorado. i will do that. i will campaign down the ballot. i will make sure that we retain the seats necessary to make sure that we flip colorado red. and that's why we've captured that on elect daryl glenn.com. >> i want to ask you if donald trump helps you. you've seen the polls, out june 19th. choice for nominee, 51% say they're happy with trump. republican voters say they would prefer someone else. you do say you support trump, but are you saying, just want to straight answer here, does he help or hurt you as you're running the race. it is your race, but does he help or hurt you? >> he does not hurt us. we have a nominee. the fact is, the alternative and that's hillary clinton, is unacceptable. we will rally. we will at the end of the day, make sure that we deliver colorado for the republicans. >> let's talk about colorado, and both for you, you got your race and of course, a swing state in the national election. we know president obama won it in 2012 and 2008, the demographics moving more in general in favor of democrats. mr. trump coming to your state later today. what does he need to say to voters to win them over in the general in november? >> you know, he needs to come, and it is important for him to come out and layout his vision, but it is also important for us to realize this is a purple state. what has been lacking is the focus on the people. this is the people's campaign. it is focusing in on this administration, and mr. bennett, who has not done his job, when you think about the iran nuclear deal, when you think about the excessive epa regulations, when you think about obama care, they're on the wrong side of the issue. now they have a candidate that can actually go right into the heart of where the democrats traditionally take us for granted and i can talk about issues of liberty, freedom, you want to talk about fairness, let's talk about the platform that i'm going to bring forward. that is why we captured that on elect darrell glenn.com. >> final question, trump visiting your state, have you asked him to come out and speak in support of you?
