cnn, jake tapper and dana bash, moderate. >> that's thursday yeah, 9:00 p.m. eastern on cnn meanwhile, the news continues on cnn with wolf blitzer in the situation room happening, now the preparations, the preparations for the trump biden debate on cnn are shifting it's a high gear with only two days to go. >> we're getting new information on both candidates and how they hope to score points on the debate stage. also tonight, the judge in the trump classified documents case apparently isn't buying new defense arguments that the fbi fbi warrant to search mar-a-lago back in 2022 was invalid. will take you inside the sometimes heated hearing and police in kenya open fire on protesters who stormed parliament and set it on fire. cnn is on the scene of the deadly clashes and the growing chaos welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer, a urine the situation room tonight, with only two days left before cnn's groundbreaking presidential debate. biden and trump campaign insiders are revealing new details about the candidates game plans going into this pivotal moment in the race for the white house. cnn correspondence are working their sources, mj lee is standing by for us over it the white house. but first, let's go to kristen holmes. she's near mar-a-lago down in florida kristen, you just got off the phone with trump's campaign advisers. what did they tell you? >> yeah. look, there was a lot of level setting wolf, they talked a lot about how they believed that president joe biden can show up, that he has proven himself a formidable opponent and that he showed up at the state of the union that in debates past, he is also shown up. this is very different from what we have heard from president former president donald trump and his advisers for several months, as they have painted biden as incompetent. donald trump often mocking joe biden as he tries to get off the stage saying that he can't find his way to the stairs. now, all of a sudden, they are changing the expectation level. this is something that we anticipated would happen particularly as over the weekend, we started hearing from more and more of donald trump's allies talking about how the ball or was set too low for president biden. now the other thing i want to point out is what i've been told by multiple advisors, which is that they are hoping and working with donald trump to stay on message peculiarly to focus on three things, immigration, the economy, particularly inflation and crime rates. they believed that donald trump, based on recent polling, is more favorable in these areas, then joe biden and they want about democracy about january 6, all of which they anticipate they are hoping that he will pivot back to that messaging on the economy, on inflation, on immigration and on crime, keeping him in the zone. now of course we don't know which version of donald trump is going to show up, but i did talk to a number of his advisers who said that, even though they originally thought that this lack of audience would be harmful to trump's since he feeds it's off of an audience that they actually have come to believe it could be helpful because he won't go on these kind of rants and tirades that he does to entertain a crowd. and obviously how this plays out we're going to find out on thursday, wolf grossman, i want you to stand by his mj lee is joining us right now from the white house, mj. i understand you have some new reporting about how president biden's debate prep over at camp david is ramping up well we know that we are really in that final home homestretch because mock debates have begun at camp david, i'm told by a source that the full run through is really began and in earnest yesterday, then president biden is using a podium as a prop and we know that there is a biden adviser who is standing in for donald trump and other advisors that are playing the roles of jake tapper and dana bash are calling colleagues who will of course be moderating that debate on thursday. >> and all of this wolf is really about replicating in every way the experience that president biden might have thursday night that of course includes the substance of things are really going through every topic that could potentially come up on thursday night. and then there's just the pure performance aspect of this landing. leinz responding to what ever donald trump might throw his way and also this is going to be an exercise in testing the president's stamina and his energy and i should also note, wolf, that today we also got a really good idea, a preview of sorts of how the president might address one of the most important topics that might come up on thursday night right? and that of course, is the economy, the campaign rolling out a new ad going after donald trump's record on the economy. and also defending the president's own record and its own accomplishments. take a listen donald trump loves to attack joe biden's you. >> by joe biden because he's focused on revenge and he has no plan to help the middle class just give more tax cuts to low-fee but you know, a big obstacle for president biden when it comes to the economy is that despite the historic economic recovery that he oversaw after covid, there are still plenty of americans to have a lot of reservations about the president's handling of the economy and not all of that has really translated to optimism across the board, across the country. so for the president, it is it's really going to be a balancing act of touting his accomplishments. but also showing a good level of empathy about the reality that plenty of americans do not feel good still about their own economic circumstances. >> mj lee and kristen holmes to both of you. thank you very much. i want to bring in some of our political experts right now to set the stage for thursday's debate. and gloria borger, i'll start with you, president biden is doing a lot of preparations for this. cnn debate. what does that tell you about how the campaign sees the state? thanks for thursday night, okay. i think that the campaign rightly so sees this as an incredibly important moment for joe biden a way to reset, if you will, this race has been incredibly close. and on a lot of key issues, the ones who were you were just talking about on inflation and immigration. the president is not doing well. and so this will be an opportunity for him to talk to the american public about what he intends to do in the future. and also to frame the debate about who donald trump really is and remind the public because they believe the public has a certain amount of what they call trump amnesia and remind the public what life was really like under donald trump. what kind of a president donald trump was and what he would be like in the future. so this couldn't be more important that's an important point and di maria cardona is with us as well. maria, as you know several outside advisers are urging biden to spend more time going directly after trump and less time pointing to his own policy record is that the right move? i think there has got to be a healthy blend of both but i do get what they're saying and i do agree that president biden has got to take the opportunities that he has presented to go after trump because of exactly what gloria said there is a certain amnesia in the american population about what trump did about how horrific the economy became when trump denied the science of covid. when he told people to inject themselves with chlorine, there were millions of jobs that were lost more than 1 million americans died. the economy was in a tailspin when he left i think importantly, even before covid on an issue, for example, like immigration, the president has got to remind people that donald trump rip two babies from the arms of their families separated families. it was a policy that he implemented that he was proud of. he has talked about implementing that policy, yet again, and i think on that issue of immigration, the trump team and trump himself is going to go full bore. xenophobia anti-immigrant trying to scare monger and fear monger connected with crime, they'll probably bring families that have suffered at the hands of some undocumented migrants and donald trump trump is going to go for the jugular on this. i believe against president biden because it's one of the issues that donald trump has said he needs in this election. and i think it's going to be a desperate attempt to paint joe biden as somebody who is very weak on immigration. so president biden has it's got to answer that with the actions that he has taken and underscore that republicans have turned their back on any real resolution. >> scott scott jennings is with us as well. scott, the trump team says, biden will be quote, ready to go for the debate. are these attempts to raise expectations for biden too little? too late after spending weeks and weeks trashing the president's ability well, let's be honest, expectations are low for joe biden for two reasons. >> one, his own performance in to the american people have already decided they don't really like what he has done is present united states that has nothing to do with trump, but it is true what they say joe biden usually shows up for these things. he's the most experienced debater on the planet i mean, there's nobody that's done this more right now alive and american politics and joe biden. so if i were trump, i would fully expect him to show up, ready to go. but also, if i were trump i would show up ready to counter him on the facts. you look at the issues that benefit trump inflation, the economy, immigration. the facts are on his side, and the people are on his side. you really got to try to him a pivot as much as you can and keep it on those topics. if he does, he's going to have a perfectly fine night even if a very good performance from joe biden shows up amidst all of this, anna navarro, trump has repeatedly suggested president biden will be jacked up for this debate, should be given and would probably be given a drug test should be given a drug test writing on social on monday. and i'm quoting trump right now drug tests for cricket, joe biden, question mark trump said things very similar to this back in 2016 and 2020 as well. listen to this, let's roll the tape i think she's actually getting pumped up, but at the beginning of her last debate, she was all pumped up at the beginning. and at the end, it was like take me down she could barely reach your car? >> so i think we should take a drug test. >> anyway, i'm willing to do it. they gave him a big fat shot in the and he comes out and for two hours he's better than ever before problem is what happens after that now, we're going to answer it's for drug test. we are. i'd like to have a dark as wealth of us is they want to get him good and strong. so a little before debate time, he gets a shot. the asieh, and that's they wanted to strengthen them up so he comes out, he'll come out. >> i okay. i say he'll come out all jacked up right? all jacked so what do you make of that clown? clownish moves, baseless accusations by donald trump trying to entertain his rally goers. a guy think after like you pointed out, weeks and weeks and weeks of painting, joe biden now as decrepit and he was not going to be able to stand there for 90 minutes. donald trump and his people realized that was a very stupid tactic to take because they themselves are the ones who are responsible for lowering the expectations on joe biden, making it easier for joe biden to win. and so now they're taking a completely different tack right now, we've gone from sleepy decrepit joe to jacked up joe. he's gone as far as to suggest that joe biden's on cocaine completely baseless and i think it's very irresponsible. i think it is donald trump doing what donald trump always does, which is to try to lay the groundwork so that if he has a bad night, he can claim something was read. there was something rigged against them because it's not possible that he lost on his own. so it's either because joe biden's jacked up on cocaine or drugs or god knows what or because the moderators. the last one is that the moderators are bias. you name it, it's donald trump trying to put the playing field and as way that he can blame somebody else if he has a bad night. >> she got scott. why do you think trump is using essentially the same debates script every time i think number one, i think he, he thinks it's funny and i think he thinks it's entertaining to his crowd. >> i don't take it too seriously honestly. i mean, since the state of the union, it's been kind of a running joke on the right about how joe biden came out i'm super hot, super aggressive, yelling at the congress. and so republicans have been joking about this. i see it really is nothing more than him piggybacking on that, knowing that his crowd is going to like it. i don't take it too seriously other than this one issue which is to say, i think they did finally realize biden might show up for the saying he might be ready. i mean, he's all prepping. he's got a lot of experience and they need to be ready for that possibility that biden shows up and comes out swinging. he has been hunkered down at camp david. >> now these past few days, he's still there now getting ready for this debate. to all of you. thank you very, very much into our viewers. be sure to tune into cnn thursday when president biden and former president trump face off in their first debate. hey moderated by my colleagues jake tapper and dana bash. it's at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on sienna i'm coming up did donald trump's lawyers make any headway?

it could go into judge aileen cannon, made pretty clear she didn't agree with that argument. she hasn't ruled yet, and even wow she may not be ruling in favor of trump's team. we still have to wait and see what she does. >> it didn't go exactly perfectly for the prosecutors either. >> she has had quite a lot of tension with them in many hearings. dressing down prosecutor david harbach yesterday in court several times, and then today at the very end of the hearing, he jumped up and wanted to point out to her that the defense team was trying to hijack the hearings. that was his words because he thought trump's team was trying to make accusations about the fbi that were too political and judge, can and shut it down immediately. she said these hearings are not being hijacked and we're going to conclude here. i have heard enough wolf. >> interesting, elie. it seems like trump's lawyers correct me if i'm wrong, are throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks so what will stick while, while they're throwing a lot of marginal arguments at the wall when it comes to this search warrant. and i see no realistic prospect of them actually succeeding on this motion to defeat the search warrant. now, it's quite common in cases where someone has been subjected to a search warrant, they challenge it, but what you have to show in order to defeat a search warrant right? is basically that the government fbi doj, lacked probable cause to get in the premises or then did the search in an unconstitutional way. for example, if they were authorized to search a bedroom and they went on their own down into the basement and did a search beyond what they were allowed to do neither of those is present here. trump's team hasn't even alleged i've there are of those things. instead, they're picking around the margins, as caitlin said arguing, well, the affidavits could have been more specific. the documents were not necessarily maintained in order which doj rejected. so i don't think that's nearly enough. i don't think trump's team has any realistic chance of getting the evidence or the case thrown out based on the search warrant caitlin, are prosecutors frustrated with the pace here of all these hearings that are going on and where does this put the timeline of this case and the eventual trial? well, if they clearly are frustrated with some of how these proceedings are going, you can just hear it in their voices and see it whenever they're arguing with judge cran and they're growing impatient, even with her at times and she has told them decorum in the courtroom is needed here. but wolf there is so much to do. so this timeline is a huge question mark. there's no trial date on the schedule still. and then in these proceedings, she just had three days of proceedings on 4 different requests from prosecutors and the defense. she's going to have to rule on all of those very likely. right. lengthy legal opinions about them, make those decisions, and then there's so much else to do. there are things that they're doing in confidential parts of court working with classified documents, preparing for that case. it's a reminder of just how much is still out there. and then on top of that, trump's team isn't just asking for up, down. yes or no, deny or grant from judge cannon. they're asking her for looked to look at the question of whether there should be even more hearings every single hearing she's they've had over the past couple of days. they've reiterated that. how about you have more hearings? how will we see more evidence? so there is going to be a question if aileen cannon is going want to do that, that could drag things out. even further if there is gonna be more evidenced brought into the case before a trial caitlin polantz and elie honig to both of you. thank you very, very much up next, deadly protests rocked kenya's capital today, we're a cnn team on the ground, saw bodies in the streets, and paramedics arrested what's behind the chaos will take you there. that's coming up next assignments are going on and the tornado here. i'm thinking language to die. and i thought that was it wineland earth with leah schreiber sunday no i know on cnn, they say seeing is believing, but with stearns and foster, that's only part of the story. >> we handcraft every stearns and foster using the finest materials like indulgent memory foam and ultra conforming and telecoil we're beautiful mattress and indescribable comfort every single night shop now and bring home incredible comfort during our july 4th sale and safe $400 on select mattresses, stearns, and foster. what comfort should be learn more at stearns and foster.com. >> the edge and rash of moderate to severe eczema disrupts my skin night and day despite treatment still not under control, but now i have revoke run voc is a once-daily pill that reduces the itch and helps clear the rash of eczema fast summer invoked patients felt significant inch relief as early as two days. some achieved dramatic skin clearance as early as two weeks. and many taking invoke saw clear are almost clear skin or invoke can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb series infections in blood clots, some fatal cancers including lymphoma and skin heart attack, stroke, and gi tears occurred people 50 and older with a heart disease risk factor have an increased risk of death, serious allergic reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you are or may become pregnant help heal your painful skin, disrupts the it's and rash of eczema. >> talk to your doctor about from folk learn how advil can help you save thorn and business is never easy. >> the star new eight months pregnant, that's a different story with the chace inke cart we got up and running in no time. >> earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase. but the taste ink business, unlimited car from chase for business to type two diabetes, discovered the ozempic tries zone i got the power of three lord, my a1c cv risk and lost some weight and studies the majority of people reached an a1c under seven and maintained it. i'm under seven synthetic lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. >> i'm lowering my wrist adults lost up to 14 pounds. a lost some weight. i was epic isn't for people with type one diabetes, don't share needles or pens or reuse needles, don't take ozempic if you are your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type two or allergic to it?

>> i want to show you this video when alma obama, barack obama is half since that was tear gas. well, we will live on cnn. she said she had come out to support the young people of kenya. we're fighting for their rights because look at what's happening young kenyans, what demonstrate you for that, right? get demonstrating with flags and banners. i can't even see anymore yeah. gosh we have the reason why elmo obama was out in the streets to support the young people of kenya is because of a controversial finance bill that's been proposed by the government of president william ruto. it's going through the motions in parliament. it's likely to pass because he's got a majority there. but many young people in kenya already frustrated by the high court cost of living. so they cannot afford even higher taxes. some of the most unpopular proposals have been dropped, but they want the entire bill to be rejected, not just piecemeal amendments, but present router did not address that directly in his address, leading to even more anger. these young people all four more protests on thursday, which are likely to escalate after the governments promised to crack down on any criminal elements worth cnn's larry madowo in kenya for us and nairobi. thank you very much. stay safe over there right now to the israel-hamas war are the latest developments as the humanitarian situation in gaza is clearly getting the worse. the $230 million us made temporary pier off the coast of gaza has the reattached but still faces major, major setbacks. cnn's jeremy diamond got a first-hand look at the pier earlier today, jeremy, tell our viewers what you saw well, well, if this is the first time that the us military has brought reporters onto this temporary pier since it was first anchored off the gaza coastline in mid-may and over the course of this last month and a half, that pier has been operational for fewer than 20 days. >> it has faced setback after setback, many of those brought on by bad weather that damage the pier and forced it to be taken offline for weeks on end today though what they showed us is the fact that this pier is working at least in terms of getting those trucks onto that peer onto the gaza coast, about 800 pallets of aid were offloaded onto gaza today, but bigger problem well, i'm still remain onshore and that's because right now there's about 6,000 pallets of aid that are just sitting on this open-air way warehouse on the gaza beach. and that's because the world food program, which is supposed to be the one picking up those pallets of aid, say that there are major security concerns at this it's moments and they are not able to pick up that aid and actually distribute it to gaza. so for now, none of this aid is actually making it into the hands of gazans who need it the most at a time when that need is growing extraordinarily with warnings of a high risk of famine. once again, in the gaza strip, al we were also able to see well from our vantage get on this pier was the enormous destruction on the gaza coastline. a very rare vantage point at a time when of course we cannot go into gaza unilaterally because the israeli government does not authorize us to do so. i've been in a few times with the israeli military, but this has once again been a rare vintage toys see the coastline every single building in sight, either fully flattened or at least partially damaged by the israeli military's bombing campaign over nearly nine months. >> all right. jeremy diamond back in jerusalem for us, jeremy, thank you very much. just ahead voters are casting ballots in a closely democratic primary in new york. that's testing the progressive the wing of the democratic party and posing a major threat to a member of the squad the most anticipated moment of dyslexia and the stakes couldn't be higher. the president and the former president, one stage two, very different visions for america's future. the cnn and presidential debate thursday night at nine, live on cnn and streaming on max my cry today hello look in the hotels.com act to find your perfect somewhere. >> it's so easy to get your windshield replaced using safe flight, tell the people i haven't done it already. my man, let's start off as a ship and grew to a crack and it just keeps going. so what do we do now?

no, i like to see the violence cease, but it ceases when hamas to greece to give up the hostages or the remains of the hostages at the end of the day wolf, this is a fairly moderate district. >> jamaal bowman beat elliott angle in 2020 on the the anger that he harnessed out of the racial justice movement that year. and now that anger seems to have turned on him, jamaal bowman has been unapologetic in the the way he's gone after israel calling for a ceasefire very early on saying there was no evidence of rape of women and beheaded 80s, calling it a genocide calling it 75 years of occupation, all things that have rubbed jews here the wrong way and their supporters as well. so i think it's gonna be very difficult night for jamaal bowman. >> well, we'll find out in a few hours. began marquez. thank you very much. let's discuss what's going on. with the former mayor of new york city and former democratic presidential candidate himself buildup lazio, mayor. thanks so much for joining us. i assume you know, this district are fairly well. do you see a jamaal bowman losing this race tonight yeah. >> look, i think jamaal bowman does sincere public servant wolf and i worked well with him when i was mayor, but i i do think he's lost touch with his district a bit. i think he's out of touch with the feelings folks had after october 7. i mean, this is a district i think it is a moderate district in many ways, obviously, a very strong jewish community. i think people were really hurt after october 7, there was a very visceral pain and i think jamaal bowman is made some points about the mistakes that the netanyahu government has made that probably a lot of people in the district would agree with. but i feel like he had to really focus on the fact that folks were feeling a very personal pain, a very deep connection to israel and that needed to be clear on i don't feel like he got that across to folks. >> israel's war against hamas in gaza as you well know, has been a big issue in this congressional primary race. how much is this dividing democrats though, right now? >> well, if i think that's been overstated, vast majority of democrats on america support the state of israel believe that israel needs to exist to protect jewish people that can disagree as i do, i fundamentally disagree with the netanyahu government. i think they're making huge mistakes but i think the average democrat and certainly the average democratic office holder all over this country believes the state israel, critical, of course, of anything where we see children dying, that's horrible on either side, on both sides, we need a ceasefire but i would tell you something. i think there's been a misunderstandin g of where the democratic party as a whole very, very few democrats are in any way anti-israel anti-semitic i think we have to recognize that one of the things that's going to happen, i most likely as someone like george latimer represents actually what most democrats are thinking around the country did jamaal bowman, the current, the congressman, do himself any favors by saying and doing what he's been doing in this campaign i think i don't think using the word genocide makes any sense, for example. and again, i think he should have shown a lot more empathy for folks who were feeling pain but at the same time, he's been put through something extraordinary and i think dangerous and unprecedented aipac with their massive contributions altering the reality of this race. i really think that's going to come back to haunt aipac because to intervene a democratic primary of the scale last i heard well over $10 million that's the kind of thing that's going to leave a lot of wounds, a lot of people feeling very unhappy. aipac has targeted in many cases, african american democratic officeholders that's not gonna be good for building a coalition long-term in support of israel. i think it's very, very shortsighted. so i think tomorrow bowman could have played his cards differently for sure but i think he also has suffered an extraordinary onslaught. the handset aipac that's ultimately going to be counterproductive for them. >> aipac, the pro-israel lobby organization. i want to quickly turn while i have you mayor, to the critical cnn debate that's coming up, you debated president biden during the 2020 campaign. what do you expecting from? him and how important is it for him to have a good performance thursday night? >> i'm a borrow a phrase from brooklyn politics. you'll appreciate wealth. never go to sleep on joe biden he is often underestimated he is a very aggressive debater he is someone who can elevate very quickly. and we saw that in a different way during the state of the union address, which i thought was first rate you've seen the trump camp. what hey, now fall over themselves trying to reset expectations because they made a mistake of suggesting joe biden wasn't going to have a strong debate. i think he's going to go right at trump and let me tell you three easy things he should hit donald trump very, very sharply on undermining american democracy and being extremists on taking away the rights of women, the right, the rights of women to choose. and on a huge tax cut for the wealthy and for the big corporations at a point where americans are really hurting at the kitchen table economically biden has so many perfect attack lanes to go at trump. and one thing we know about all bullies, they don't do well when you smack them in the face, rhetorically, i think that's what you're going to see from joe biden, donald trump is, you know, mayor a suggesting he could be quote, tough, and nasty, or his words, nice and calm during this upcoming cnn debate? >> what are you expecting from your former fellow new york i think donald trump is going to be confused in this case. >> i think it's confused many times, but this one for him if he tries to be aggressive, it's just going to emphasize the extremism, which is obviously hurting him with a lot of moderate voters, including moderate indep, and republican voters, particularly women voters in the suburbs in those key states. so an extreme like nasty approach will backfire on the other hand, if he tries to be sweetness and light whose got to believe that joe biden has so many effective attack leinz, i guarantee you he's going to use them. donald trump is you're going to turn into a punching bag which isn't going to serve them well or if he acts like he normally doesn't it debate? that also hurts him. so he's, he's got a tough road. donald trump, i think joe biden goes into this in a very strong position. >> it's going to be a lively debate for sure and very, very important. the former new york city mayor buildup lazio. thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you will and coming up a wikileaks founder julian assange, now a us territory his car leaving the airport after touching down just a few moments ago, as he looks to clear one more major legal hurdle july 4 cnn concert event, which form as he by keith urban, shanty, bb wrexham, the killers and many more 4 america thursday, july 4, or dead seven eastern on cnn, its terms day off. >> but neutro, gina ultra shear sunscreen is still on the clock. vital sun protection goes six layers deep, blocking 97% of burning uv rays. it's light, but it's working hard he liked me neutral gina ultras, your sunscreen imagine a future one we're plastic is not wasted but instead remade over and over into the things that keep our food fresher. >> our families safer and our planet cleaner to help us get there. america's plastic makers are investing billions of dollars to create innovative products and new recycling technology hello jews for sustainable change. because when you push for smarter solutions, week things can happen sarlin businesses never easy. >> the star eight months pregnant, that's a different story with the chase inke card, we got up and right in didn't know tom earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase. but the taste ink business unlimited car from taste for business i want a lot of businesses, so my and my network need to keep up. >> thank you. verizon business now, our business since this fast and reliable internet on the same network that powers our folks. >> so whatever's next, what cooking with fire, switch to the partner businesses rely on with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, my skin was no longer mine. >> my active psoriatic arthritis please join symptoms held me back. >> don't let symptoms define you emerge as you with trump via most people saw 90% clear skin for months, and the majority stake clearer at five years from phi is proven to significantly reduce joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. it's just six doses a year after two starter doses, cbd is allergic reactions may occur, can fire, may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them until you dr, if you have an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine planning to emerge as you emerged, trim fired, asked her doctor about trump via the day you get your clear choice dental implants, changes your struggle with mr. in teeth forever it changes how you eat, how you feel, and how you enjoy life. it changes your smile and now others smile at you clear choice network doctors have changed over 100,000 lives with dental implants and they can change yours too because a clear choice day changes every day schedule a free consultation priceline helps families they've 60% on family-friendly hotels. >> so many great trips, we might just leave here with another vacation baby i'll take it easy. >> paris and youtube for motor dave's company just scored the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. high five! high five... -i'm on a call. it's 5 years of reliable, gig speed internet... five years of advanced security... five years of a great rate that won't change. yep, dave's feeling it. yes. but it's only for a limited time. five years?
