into high gear, leaning on supporters to knock on doors and work the phones. let's listen your enthusiasm and grassroots support. >> you've made history. >> that is why we are kicking off a weekend of action to donate, make calls, and knock on doors. >> and we need you, everyone of you because we are a people-powered campaign parents putting, that out, just this morning, she is in pits field massachusetts at a big donor event featuring james taylor and yo-yo ma, author and historian heather cox richardson, also in the mix and many of the governor, she's reportedly considering to be her running mate. >> they're also out on the campaign trail to governor walz let's governor beshear, and governor shapiro out making the case on her behalf. >> fred. all right. eva mckend. thanks so much all right. >> former president trump. well, he's also also out on

the campaign trail today in just a few hours. in fact, from now, he will speak in nashville at the world's largest bitcoin convention. tonight. he will attend a rally in minnesota. cnn's steve contorno is covering the trump campaign for us. steve, good to see again, what can we expect to hear from trump at that bitcoin convention? >> well, he is going to try to convince this audience that he is truthful in his advocacy and support for bitcoin policies. and there'll be a tall task because five years ago go take a look at this tweet. he posted on social media where he said he was quote, not a fan of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. he said it was not money. he said was highly highly volatile thailand based on thin air and he also raised concerns that bitcoin could quote facilitate unlawful behavior including the drug trade. we'll fast forward to five years from then. and donald trump has now become a supporter of bitcoin, his campaign in fact, actually accepts bitcoin donations. we're told they've taken about 4 million worth. so far,

he is advocating for cryptocurrency policy he's take a listen to what he said earlier this summer in wisconsin i will end joe biden's war on crypto. >> we will ensure that the future of crypto and the future of bitcoin will be made in america otherwise, other countries are going to have it now the trump campaign won't tell us what caused this 180 degree turn. bubb, he has received significant financial support from the bitcoin industry. many of its investors and founders could they have met with them at mar a-lago? they've hosted fundraisers for him, the winklevoss twins, you might know from the facebook saga, they each said they would give $1 million for the according to donald trump's. so they are rallying around donald trump and he is rallying behind them as well, fred. >> okay. and then after this nashville speech steve trump will be in minnesota at a rally there with his running mate, j.d. vance. what are the expectations there?

>> well, this will be the second time there on stage together, they were in michigan together last week. and is obviously also coming off of jd vance's rollout as vice president where he has spent an inordinate amount of time explaining some of his past comments yesterday, he was on megyn kelly's podcast where he tried to explain what he was doing several years ago when he complained about childless cat ladies. take a listen to what he said the simple point that i made is that having children becoming a father, becoming a mother, i really do think it changes your perspective and it pretty profound way that this is not about criticizing people who, for various reasons didn't have kids. >> this is about criticizing the democratic party for becoming anti-family and anti-child there's an old adage in politics that if you're explaining, you're losing and jd vance's been doing a lot of explaining in recent days, fred oh, interesting. >> alright, steve contorno. thanks so much for that. all

right. >> this breaking news right now, california's park wildfire has exploded in size, becoming the state's largest fire of the year. it's burning an area bigger than the size of los angeles more than 300,000 acres so far, zero containment cnn's camila bernal has the latest california's largest wildfire of the year, is on the move. this year, we're starting off with a bang scorching hillsides decimating homes and buildings forcing residents to flee. firefighters battling the fast-moving flames in rugged, remote terrain of aid, wind gusts of 20 to 30 miles an hour in what officials called critically low humidities. >> it is concerning that we're having these larger fires earlier in the season you for having big fires like this in july and august. we may have bigger virus come the fall as the fuels get drier and the winds start to pick up house gone their house. >> okay. house next to it. you

can see it's gone flames flattened julia garbles home. >> she called the experience surreal as she walked through the rubble serving the destruction. >> it puts a finality to it. just going, wow, this chapter over. >> here we go again yet for the park fire brings back haunting memories for residents in butte county. it's the same county where the 2018 camp fire killed 85 people and destroyed thousands of homes it remains the deadliest wildfire in california's history, and a famed via lost my dad and campfire and got her home and we've been working on it a lot lately, fixing it up and it's just we're at the verge of maybe losing all that. >> talking to some of the evacuees yesterday there's a big concern this this county has been tested time and time again unfortunately, he knows some of our folks that are evacuated now from these fires lost their home during the camp fire and with the state's

wildfire season already underway, it's a test this community may be forced to live with for months and this fire is moving. >> so quickly that what we know now is that it's started spreading at about 50 football fields a minute, making it really challenging for firefighters. they have now more people, more resources but unfortunately the fire has already destroyed at least 100 structures. >> that includes this. >> it used to be someone's home and the only thing standing now is the chimney that's how devastating it is going to be for families that then come back to this area. unfortunately, aut that a 42-ye is responsible for this fire. they say that he pushed a burning car into an embarked meant and it was an area that was really hard to reach. and so that also helped the spread of the flames right now, officials also saying that the fire isn't very steep terrain, so it's hard to get to those

areas. so you have the difficult terrain, you have the high temperatures, you have winds, and it continues to just explode fred and right now, the fire is 0% contained all right, camila bernal. >> thank you so much coming up a new details on the high profile arrest of two accused drug cartel leaders both of them now, in the u.s. and growing concerns about the possibility of a new drug war was metals one already stay at the olympics in paris will tell you who has just clinched some hardware and we'll fill you in and all the other exciting events happening today. >> tonight on the whole story political violence has always threatened our democracy after the attempt on trump's life, where does america go from here? the whole story with anderson cooper, political violence america as bloody history tonight at 8:00 on cnn

200 elite special forces soldiers. cnn's rafael romo, joining me now with the latest. i mean, it's remarkable, but it's also confusing that one of the people arrested would also be a party to helping the other kingpin arrested. >> and it is confusing also because we are hearing two different versions from two different countries. for example, an official familiar with the investigation told cnn that joaquin guzman lopez, the son of joaquin el chapo guzman lord is my island mayu, some bother as you previously said, on a flight to examine a piece of land, he thought was in mexico. but the plane flew straight into the u.s. landing near el paso, texas, where federal agents, including from homeland security investigations, arrested the two alleged cartel bosses it's now mexican security secretary rosa icela rodriguez said on friday that they don't know if somebody was captured. listen to this or turn himself in and they're waiting to hear more

from us officials president andres manuel lopez obrador said that regardless of whether somebody ought to turn himself in or was captured, the fact that that he's now in custody is an important step forward in the fight against drug trafficking in a new development, fred mexico sent 200 members of its elite special forces core, part of the mexican army to the state of sinaloa on friday to reinforce security security analyst fear that regardless of how myosin bother ended up in us custody, there's a potential for bloodshed and sinaloa and elsewhere in mexico. i spoke with former drug enforcement administration. agents, might be hila about this case. he told me even before they were taken into custody, there was already a power struggle between some barra and the sounds of it chapel known as the chapitos chapito was for quite some time have been trying to take the reins of power away from myocin balah because when chopped lose mine

was extra biden there father or they felt that they were the heirs apparent to the cartel. >> but the most of the cartel in really respect them because they were given everything by their father and they didn't get their hands dirty. and like most of the cartel member and fred, be hello to explain the significance of taking myosin bother into custody not only from mexico, but also the united states carlo gambino and myosin bother prior to yesterday and over 50 years of involvement in the drug trade had never been captured, never serve any time. >> so he is highly respected by even his rivals and there's been reaction from the white

house in a statement, president biden commended the work of us law enforcement who arrested some bothering was been lopez, whom he called. >> two of the most notorious leaders of the sinaloa cartel, one of the deadliest enterprises in the world, the prison isn't it also added that too many of our citizens have lost their lives to the scourge of fentanyl, one of the legal drugs official say the sinaloa cartel is known to smuggle into the united states. very confusing indeed, but the thing here that everybody agrees on is that these two alleged cartel bosses are now in custody here in the united states. >> you clarified it a brilliantly. i wonder though, while the heads of these cartels, you know, symbolically may have been eliminated they're still the body. i mean, you know it is still a an operation. these are two still operations that continue to work there will take over and what the former agent was telling me is that as long as the infrastructure is intact for the cartel there's still going to be the same problem

with smuggling of drugs into the united states. >> and that's really the challenge there. >> rafael romo, thanks so much appreciate it all right. >> still a lot of enthusiasm among democrats right now. we're talking about the campaign trail, surrounding kamala harris's campaign for president as new state polls show this race is up for grabs. that's next every weekday. major developments overnight, we're bringing you the news the whole league all leads up to this. >> the story where he said the center of your day wildfires burning across the west. now, cnn news central, weekdays at seven eastern you've got your sunday obsession and we got you now with verizon get nfl sunday ticket from youtube tv on us, plus $800 off samsung galaxy z fold six. >> only on verizon. >> see you sunday many probiotics don't survive digestion. that means whatever you're taking for your gut

harris is ahead in minnesota, the vice president has been in the race for less than a week and already she is energizing her base of support cnn's john king spoke with some senior voters in the key swing state of pennsylvania. some say there cited by a harris run while others are still on the fence here we go. mahjong requires focus patients, a clear strategy to build matching sets of tiles, changing course deep into the game is risky, but sometimes even experienced players see no choice but to try you're joker okay heads up how easy it is to swap out a candidate in the middle of the game this game ends in a draw. nobody, nobody wins in a visitor brings up another big change. show of. hands. if you think harris could win pennsylvania so you're more

optimistic now than you were with president biden leading the ticket there's a head shake. >> know, tell me why. no, i don't think a lot of men will vote for harris. >> i just don't. whether you're democrat, republican, whatever, i just don't think the majority of men are ready for a female president at least three hands went up pretty quickly. so you have more energy and enthusiasm campaign. >> my god, yes one more time. >> show of hands. who wants to see them debate oh, yeah suddenly democrats like retiree and mahjong instructor darrell ann murphy are bursting with energy suddenly they see at least a chance to win battleground pennsylvania and keep donald trump out of the white house. >> i don't even like to hear the word trump, what he called the monster. at this same table, five months ago, three of the four thought president biden was up to the job and they called criticism of his

age unfair, but they began to see the things that worried them. biden's debate, debacle, left no doubt from an experience i know how quickly things can go downhill when you are an older person now a new challenge, she's, he's at the perfect age. she's committed she's vigorous and i overwhelmingly the women i talked to our let's go let's go civil rights activist marvin boy are organized the black history display at this museum in downtown easton. the debate changed his mind two, and in harris boyer sees what was missing in biden. >> you have to be aggressive because he's coming out to you and i think she's up to the challenge in that regard. >> the winner here in north hampton county tends to be the winner statewide. every vote matters. >> it also reenergized this a strong constituency of the democratic party, meeting black females so i think it's a good

thing in that regard. >> you think america is ready to elect a woman of color, its president for stills, racism, misogyny in this country, and 2000 some 24 no question. will can we overcome it? but this election, enough that she can be elected? i hope so. >> geology professor laurence malinconico changed his mind after the debate to his wife donated to harris as soon as the news broke and malinconico believe students will be much more energized now, there's an acceptable choice now when before i think there was real skepticism about the viability of president biden for another four years. thinks he can win pennsylvania. >> i hope so i think part of it will depend on her choice of vice president. >> you take the country is ready for that. a woman of color as president, i i hope so. >> i'm a little nervous about that are you looking forward to harris debating? absolutely. well, i am hoping she does eat

him alive. >> pat levin became politically active in the 1940s during fdr's third term. >> so no, i've never seen anything like this. >> she's just a few weeks from 95 performance it's not age. is levene's test and she sadly came to see president biden, couldn't pass it anymore. >> i love him. i think he's has been just wonderful but he is definitely impaired in terms of his thinking, in terms of his presentation, in terms of his energy, simple advice for harris i'll get into this, into those swing states and show her enthusiasm and are stabbing and her strength and be able to communicate strongly? >> and one defining issue, if anyone sees sir wisdom, its democracy, its are actually at this might be our last free and fair election. if we don't win it, we cannot afford to lose this election putting american people's a big twist at crunch time in what for pat levin will

be presidential vote number 19 john king. thank you so much. all right. let's talk about with this fast-moving election. i'm joined now by coleman hughes, a cnn political analysts, also with me is lee carter, a former republican and strategists and a strategic communications expert. great to see you both thanks for evidence. >> alright. >> lee, let me begin with you. this new polling, which shows a tightening race and the critical battleground states of michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, polls can shift of course, almost daily. and as a former republican strategist, how concerned should the trump campaign be at this stage of the race when they had the wind at their sails thinking that they should be confident but not so much now yeah i think they should be very concerned. >> i think that we're sort of going back in time. you look at the polls now, they're more looking like they are april than you would expect them to be looking post rnc and

post-assassination attempt. you would think that trump would be surging in this moment and yet he's not. i think the most troubling thing for republicans that poll is the voter louisiana them shift only 37% of democrats are enthusiastic about voting for joe biden and now they're saying at 1% are enthusiastic about voting for harris. this turns if this translates to turn out this term translates to momentum. this translates to a lot of things and i think that republicans are right to be concerned in this moment and democrats should be excited yeah, coleman, meantime, there's a lot of momentum with the harris campaign. >> you've got grassroots organizations that are now saying we want to be a part of it. you've got people who are applying for a campaign positions there volunteering. how, how do they can they maintain this kind of momentum for another hundred days yes. >> so that remains to be seen really where harris is doing so

much better than biden was doing just last week is with two groups non-white voters and voters under 30 those are the groups that biden was really struggling with. and of course those are in our lifetimes, those are key democratic constituents. the question is, i mean, there's two problems. one is that even with harris doing so much better in those demographics, that biden was doing? democrats are still not even close to where they were with those constituencies in 2020. they've lost around ten points with those, those groups since 2020. and so obviously, i think what these polls show is that democrats absolutely made the right decision by pressuring biden to step down this race now goes from basically a foregone conclusion in favor of republicans to now, democrats have a fighting chance there is still the underdogs, but they absolutely have a chance to win this if they can gain ground in the key battleground states. and what will be key to that is

energizing and trying to get those numbers with non-white and under 30 voters back to where they were in 2020. >> lee, it's a real fight to the finish. i mean, the trump campaign, however, seems to be struggling to try to define harris in the way it wants to send. she rose to the top of the ticket democrats seem to be, you seizing on opportunities, however to attack trump's vice presidential pick j.d. vance, starting with his cat lady, comment, take a listen to his attempt now to try to clean that up. >> the simple point that i made is that having children becoming a father, becoming a mother, i really do think it changes your perspective and it pretty profound way that this is not about criticizing people who, for various reasons didn't have kids this is about criticizing the democratic party for becoming anti-family and anti-child alright, so lee, how much of a liability is this for him? not just the comments,

but in his efforts to offer clarity i don't think that he really cleaned up the mess that he's made here. when you look at this kind of a comment and you try to say, is this going to be like trump's access hollywood tape or is this going to be more like hillary's basket full of deplorables moment. i really feel like this is one of those more like the basket of deplorables moments in that there are so many people out there are so many women who feel absolutely slighted by what he said. i didn't have children until later in life. i am a stepmother and i always considered myself invested in the future of this country. i've always was invested my family, i always felt like i had children when i had when i was when i was a step mom and i think it's just really insulting. there were so many americans out there who look at this and think, wow, how can he? he fight for us if he doesn't even like people like us. i think that's a real problem that he's got. the thing that's interesting about jd vance's when you look at him, he's not there's so many dimensions to him. he probably could have a much better way to address this, but he just isn't and i think it's going

to be a liability coleman there were supposed to be another debate in september and already trump has said, well, is ready to not carry through his commitment to be part of that abc presidential debate. a gave a condition not until the obamas were or former president obama were to endorse kamala harris will now that happen this week, does he have a legitimate excuse to not show up for that debate? >> look? i mean, i'm not exactly sure what his cold feet or about i mean, he has said that he absolutely wants to debate camila, maybe even multiple times, but he said he has reservations about abc, which she considers to be a biased news organizations. so at the end of the day, i don't see trump backing out of a debate with camila that would just mean that would signal a kind of weakness that someone like him really would not be

comfortable with this might be his his attempt to try to get it on a channel that's more friendly to him. but like fox for example. so i don't really see this as him backing out. i think this is a negotiation tactic, perhaps to get a more favorable debate okay. >> we'll leave it there coleman hughes, lee carter, we'll have you back. thanks so much. we'll have so much more to talk about because we've got 100 days still. >> thank you alright up next some of the younger players on team usa basketball are thrilled. >> now to be sharing the court with those that they grew up watching to paris next the believes that it was meant to unite the round he may be kicked house of the dragon streaming exclusively we own max my psoriasis was all over

grew up watching the bronny james and watching kevin duran and watching steph curry. and now to see those guys every day and see how they work and prepare sciutto rounds and practice in the game you know, i'm in all sometimes, that they've accomplished so much. it means so much to the game of basketball. that means so much to guys like myself that grew up watching them play fredricka is at a press conference with steph curry and kevin and durrant this week, and they were talking about how excited they are to be teammates with guys like jayson tatum. >> and they were asked, are you going to help jason? a jdam, you know, now this is a team of yours. learn how to stay at the top, maybe be a repeat reigning champion. they said, oh hell, no, no, we don't like him that much. >> they're enjoying playing together that's exactly right, team usa led the medal count at the last summer olympics. and the hoops team, they're going

to be hoping to do their part once again, frederik chasing a fifth straight olympic gold nice. >> so exciting. okay, i just buckle your seat belts because it's going to be a wild very fun, exciting ride. love it. all right, cool. so why are in paris? thanks so much all right. >> one of the biggest challenges of these games is keeping athletes safe. 28 years ago terror struck the olympics when a pipe bomb exploded in atlanta's centennial olympic park, throwing the 1996 games into chaos. the act of terror left two dead and injured more than 100. and now with the paris olympic games starting cnn national correspondent isabel rosalas looks back at the lessons learned and the immense security challenges in france as more than 10 million visitors are expected to be in the capital city. but first a warning, you may find some of the images in this story disturbing summer 1996 or six

on atlanta, georgia a backpack is still under a bench. >> it's intentional olympic park and at 1:20 in the morning a 40 pound homemade pipe bomb filled with nails and screws explodes. >> we have had word now of an explosion at the centennial olympic park, it was just it was so loud he ran years jill of event, whole merritt. >> now we'll security consultant with more than 30 years of experience in law enforcement, was on duty that night. what was atlanta like? after that bomb went off it was chaos. munich, 1972, atlanta in 1996, beijing, 2008, they all had issues of violence, of terrorism. what is it about an event like the olympics that draws in this violence i think it's because you just have a lot of eyes looking at thank you if someone's going to want to do that, they want to draw attention to their cause is everybody was speculating that he in north carolina fbi

special agent in charge, chris swecker, lead the manhunt for the centennial olympic park bomber, the after action on the atlanta olympics was pretty harsh, very poor coordination. >> so poor policing so on the ground, we're told too late about this crucial 911 call nearly 30 years later, you can still see the importance of that nail filled bomb and the lessons learned from this act of terror would extend far beyond centennial park. and the city of atlanta swecker says since then, law enforcement has harnessed new techniques and technology to better guard the games. like bombed, detecting equipment, drones, cameras, and ai. >> i'd venture to say that that in 1996, we were in the stone age is when it comes to prevention of an incident. looking ahead to security at the upcoming paris games, french authorities say they will restrict public access to the perimeter around the games.

employ an anti-drone protocol and have already slashed attendance capacity to the ambitious opening ceremony on the sen. the first ever held by a river by half for security reasons one petition issues on appeal associated seizures on a pixel in facebook to moon we're looking for things that don't fit the environment. don't hit match the baseline for example a backpack that's put in the bushes, like we see right here. but this would even raise more red flags because clearly somebody put it here where other people would see it would take so high prevention and vigilance are more important than ever. isabel rosales, cnn, atlanta and tune in into how it really happened. the atlanta olympic bombing tonight at 9:00 p.m. when the new school year begins, students will take part in familiar drills like what to do and a tornado or a school

shooting. but in new york, those drills those two prepare for a possible shooter are about to change tonight on the whole story, political violence has always threatened democracy after the attempt on trump's life, where does america go from here? >> the whole story with anderson cooper, political violence, america is bloody history. tonight at 8:00 doing cnn doug, and if we when we get to tell you how liberty mutual customizes car insurance. >> so you only pay for what you need. >> isn't that what you just did? >> stand back duggan know, you got if you want to win hi, not only pay for what you need labor day lawmakers are trying to shut down planned parenthood, the health care of more than 2 million people is at stake. our right to basic

>> find the real you again, go to muesli muesli.com slash tv. >> i'm lauren fox on capitol hill and close captioning brought to you by rula law. iconic brands up to 70% off retail at rula law.com rubella you never faithful sees the deals on top before their car today. new york state has the largest school district in the u.s and in the upcoming school year, students will no longer have realistic active shooter drills. the new ban follows a multi-year effort by parents and lawmakers who say the

drills traumatized children and normalize violence it's a major win for advocates as the new rules also require schools to notify staff, students, and parents about planned drills ahead of time, cnn national correspondent gloria pazmino, joining me now with details on this. gloria, tell us more well, fred, as you said, this is a huge win for parents and student activists who have been trying to bring attention to this issue and you know, fred, i spoke to many of the parents over the last several days and many of them repeated the same thing to me. >> that they walked away feeling like these drills were really just traumatizing their children exposing them to violence from a young age and really not doing much to prepare them, even though new york has some of the strongest gun laws in the country. now these drills have become a part of normal life in many of them erica schools more than 44 states practice these kinds of

realistic drills even though gun violence is so prevalent in our country today, school shootings specifically still are relatively rare. in fact, they only account for 1% of the more than 44,000 annual us gun-related deaths. now i wanted to talk to one of these students. her name is stella k. she's an incredible young activists. she's 17-years-old. she lives in denver and she spoke to me about what it's been like for her to go through school having to experience these drills. take a listen these drills maybe youthful for a day or two or a year or two the school year for preparing students for what it's like. >> but they're not research, doesn't show that they're useful or prevent school shootings at all and that alarm is one of the worst things you can hear. it's just a reminder

of the climate that we live in the normalization of gun violence and the alarm goes off and you go into a corner and you turn the lights off. and my teacher will lock the door and draw the shades. and then we wait until we get released. it's it's become a little bit of just like a chore, almost. >> i the last row we did, i looked around and i saw everyone's scrolling on their phones and i was just thinking to myself, like this is not a solution. now stella is actually a survivor of gun violence at her school. so imagine what it's like for her to kind of have to really relive these drills over and over. another thing that really struck me speaking to some of the parents was how young some of the students are when they are exposed to this. so talk, let's talk about the changes that are coming to new york

because they are significant. and as you mentioned in the beginning, fred parents will now be required to be notified ahead of time. the drills will have to be age appropriate and most importantly, only the u.s. of props or actors or any sort of depiction of violence as part of the drill will now be banned and parents and activists are not done quite yet. they are still required to drill a minimum of four times a year across state schools. but parents want to bring that minimum down to two and to have an opt-out option, they say that that's what they're focusing their energy on in the next legislative session. >> very fascinating. all right. gloria pazmino. thank you so much. we're following breaking news in california where a wildfire bigger than the size of los angeles is burning out of control after the break. here from a man who lost his home in this fast blaze ready
