THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
[06:32:56]
AUDIE CORNISH, CNN ANCHOR: OK, here's an odd one. World Cup fans saying give me a break when it comes to FIFA's new three-minute hydration breaks in each half of every game. Now they were introduced to help players deal with the extreme heat. Critics feel that they're ruining the flow of the game.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's completely needless in a stadium that has a roof over it. And I know that this is something that we're going to have to get used to because it's going to happen in 104 games of this World Cup.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: But I have to be honest, it's ridiculous when it happens.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Those breaks have conveniently created more commercial time during live soccer. Let's get into it. But first, gotta hydrate.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CORNISH: All right, when it comes to capitalizing on the capital, the two networks airing the World Cup, Fox and Telemundo, are taking different approaches during these breaks. Fox is airing full screen commercials and Telemundo is not.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): We are staying. We are not going to break. The World Cup is ours, and we're enjoying every moment so you don't miss a thing.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CORNISH: Crowd not sounding happy there. Telemundo says they want to create an authentic World Cup experience without cutting away from the action.
So, joining me now to discuss, a retired professional soccer player, Alecko Eskandarian.
Thank you so much for being here.
ALECKO ESKANDARIAN, RETIRED PROFESSIONAL SOCCER PLAYER: Thank you.
CORNISH: So, first, I want to talk about this being a new rule. And I gather it was to help deal with the heat. But I was listening to an after game press conference and I think it was the coach for the English national team, he said, look, this completely flattened our tempo and it gives the opposition a free tactical time-out to completely neutralize our press. Do water breaks kill momentum?
ESKANDARIAN: I don't think so. I mean, to be honest with you, yes, they are different and I think they were implemented, like you said, for player safety. I'd imagine for FIFA's -- from FIFA's purview, they established this to put in some consistency because there are going to be some games that will have it just because of the temperature and some that wouldn't. So, this was something that evens the playing field when it's involved in every game.
[06:35:03]
And as long as every team knows that they're going to have that benefit, I think it evens it out.
CORNISH: So, fans are booing. I assume players adapt. But I'm also thinking of some of those European tennis players, right, who were faced with the heat and people thought, why are they out there doing all this in the heat? Is there something the fans maybe aren't acknowledging about this experience?
ESKANDARIAN: Yes, player health and safety, I would say. It's hot out there for sure. Definitely in some of the cities that the World Cup is taking place, it can definitely wear on you. So, I think player safety is at the -- at the forefront of this. And, yes, I don't think a 60 second break is really going to change tactics or player physicality that much that it's going to have any impact on the outcome of the game.
CORNISH: What top two games are you watching next?
ESKANDARIAN: Oh, I'm going to be going out to L.A. for Belgium-Iran and USA-Turkey. So, I'm looking forward to watching those games in person. But to be honest with you, the tournament's been full of upsets, so every game is must watch.
CORNISH: OK. That's Alecko Eskandarian. Thank you so much for being here.
ESKANDARIAN: Thanks for having me.
CORNISH: And in the meantime, this Sunday, you can get an inside look at Team USA. Do they have what it takes to win the game's ultimate prize? We've got a flash doc "Chasing Soccer Glory: America's Long Game." That's airing Sunday night at 8 p.m. on CNN. You can also watch it on the CNN app.
In Chicago today, the Obama Presidential Center is opening. It's been an emotional week leading up to it. Former First Lady Michelle Obama surprised her husband at the reception ahead of the grand opening because she brought the former president to tears in this custom skirt, which bears the image honoring her late mother.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MICHELLE OBAMA, FORMER FIRST LADY: She was so proud of her son-in-law and the man that he is and has been to our family.
BARACK OBAMA, FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT: I am a little shaken up by this because I loved my mother-in-law.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CORNISH: Now, Obama has always been ingrained in pop culture. The event today is going to reflect that. The lineup of performers includes Stevie Wonder, U2's Bono, The Edge, Bruce Springsteen, Jennifer Hudson, The Roots, among others. And former presidents, Biden, Bush and Clinton are changing up their usual meeting spot, funerals, to be there for Obama.
So, the group chat is back.
I wanted to talk about this because all week President Trump has been referencing Obama. He can't seem to stop no matter where this Iran deal is. And it occurred to me, between it being Juneteenth and this library opening, it is a week for people to be reminded of both Obama and his legacy.
NICHOLAS WU, CONGRESSIONAL REPORTER, "SEMAFOR": That's for sure. And, I mean, I think what this library is doing is it, you know, this is a president's own telling of his legacy. And Obama is very much putting that out there. You know, we can debate as much as we want on how exactly -- what the legacy of the JCPOA was, and many other let's say his --
CORNISH: Yes, but his broader legacy, whether it be art that they're presenting there, basketball courts, community centers, this is Obama telling his story.
WU: Exactly. And to me, the most interesting thing with this library is, you know, what do you do when all these records are not necessarily paper and, you know, like a traditional library.
CORNISH: Oh, right.
WU: Like, how do you immortalize -- you know, when Obama was the cool president with a Blackberry and sending tweets, you know, how do you -- how do you do something like that? And so, I'm curious to see what they do with that. CORNISH: I also want to mention this event. It's very Obama era in
terms of all the celebrities being there. And we made a list of, like, who's going to be -- who's going to be at this Obama event and their global record sales. And then what's going on with the Trump-backed Freedom 250, which prey much kicked off a few weeks ago in terms of who was leaving it. And in the end, it's Lee Greenwood, a president -- the president's favorite, and a handful of other artists. Is this a reminder of like kind of where Hollywood's heart lies or the complication that Trump has his relationship with pop culture.
MIKE DUBKE, FORMER TRUMP WHITE HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR: Is this to me?
CORNISH: Either one of you.
DUBKE: I don't know that it's a fair comparison to the -- I -- look, I love --
CORNISH: Why not?
DUBKE: Because, here's the thing. I --
CORNISH: They're two massive events.
DUBKE: I love presidential libraries. I think they are, and especially to the point that they tell the story of the president in their own words. So, I've been to a few. I've been to Bill Clinton's down in Little Rock. I've been to Ronald Reagan's out in California. I think it's incredibly interesting to walk through each of these libraries. And I -- if I'm in Chicago, I will probably go to Obama's presidential library because I think they're fantastic things.
CORNISH: You would. Trump is not invited, just so we're clear.
DUBKE: I -- no, no, no, that's fine.
CORNISH: Yes.
DUBKE: But I don't -- I will take a little issue on this pop culture thing because I don't know that comparing America's 250 and all the politics that are surrounding this with what should be a celebration this week for Obama.
CORNISH: Yes. Well, Meghan, I'm going to --
DUBKE: I'm not -- I'm not sure on that.
MEGHAN HAYS, FORMER BIDEN WHITE HOUSE DIRECTOR OF MESSAGE PLANNING: So, Americans, we're not supposed to celebrate America's 250? I thought that was the whole point of this.
DUBKE: No, no, I think we should be celebrating America's 250.
[06:40:00]
But look, this is -- this is a celebration for Obama and the folks that really enjoyed his presidency. And, you know, good on them for having a good group.
CORNISH: Can I add -- no, no, can I add another bit of context that's related to 250?
DUBKE: Sure.
CORNISH: In an era where DEI has been completely, not just DEI. When black American history has been carved out of the halls of the federal government with a -- with like a butcher knife, them doing this library on Juneteenth week is on purpose and is significant.
DUBKE: It should be.
CORNISH: Because maybe for black Americans --
DUBKE: Absolutely.
CORNISH: That is a historic moment.
HAYS: For all of us. Yes.
DUBKE: Right.
CORNISH: That this nation will no longer celebrate under the Trump administration. They are not interested in talking about the history of slavery.
So, it feels like the Obamas are doing something very purposeful. They're creating an alternative, historical celebration for people who feel like part of their history is forgotten.
HAYS: I heard an interview with Valerie Jarrett last night where she said that this is a place for hope to live on. And I think that that sentiment rings true, probably not only to black Americans, but all Americans who believe that we are living in chaos and just don't agree with the way that Trump goes about with the slashing of DEI and just the complete disregard for the majority of the American people who are not in his billionaire class.
CORNISH: Yes.
HAYS: So, I just --
CORNISH: But I'm just adding, it's also historical.
HAYS: A hundred percent.
CORNISH: Like, this is also a historical week.
HAYS: But I think that this is why you have so many people who are doing these wonderful documentaries and all these artists coming out.
CORNISH: Yes.
HAYS: So, I think it's more than just the pop culture aspect. I do think that we are in a place where a lot of people do not want to celebrate where we are at in our country's history. And I think that that's unfortunate. And I'm glad that a lot of people can go celebrate the Obamas, which is well deserved. He was a president for eight years. Everyone should go celebrate that. And they have -- it's a -- I worked in the Obama administration (INAUDIBLE).
CORNISH: Yes. It's also a weird week because we're coming off that UFC fight on Sunday, where that fighter made essentially a cruel --
HAYS: But it just goes to show you, priority.
CORNISH: No, no, a cruel remark about Michelle Obama, our first lady.
DUBKE: Absolutely.
CORNISH: So, for her to be able to stand up on stage --
HAYS: A hundred percent.
CORNISH: Undiminished, I think, is also a significant moment.
DUBKE: Look, I would love for us to be celebrating both the opening of the Obama library and the historic 250th anniversary of our democracy. I would -- I think that would be wonderful. And I would love for the artists that canceled on the America 250 not to have done that and to see beyond whatever partisan politics are happening now in this -- in this time.
CORNISH: Do you think they would have done that if it was the America 250 bipartisan organization that had been approved by Congress versus Freedom 250, the Trump administration's secondary organization that people have accused of politicizing the 250 event?
HAYS: So, I'm not exactly sure people know the difference and the nuances.
CORNISH: But the artists knew because they could back out.
HAYS: But I feel that's like a very like D.C. bubble, nuanced conversation. But I do think that people don't want to be up on stage with Donald Trump, who you never know what he's going to say, you don't know what his cabinet is going to say, you don't know what the people who support him are going to say, and they run the risk.
CORNISH: Yes. But, I mean, Martina McBride said, this is more political than we thought it would be.
HAYS: A hundred percent.
CORNISH: So, that was very clear.
HAYS: And they don't know what he's going to say. And they don't believe in what he's saying. And I -- just like with most of the country doesn't believe in what he has to say. So, they don't want to be there supporting it.
CORNISH: OK. Well, in the meantime, for the people who might want to watch the opening of this library, CNN is doing massive, special live coverage of the event. It's going to start at 11 a.m. Eastern. You can watch that here. 11:30 Eastern. And you can watch that here or on the CNN app.
Next on CNN THIS MORNING, Vice President Vance has become the face of the Iran deal. So, is Vance becoming the closer or the fall guy?
Plus.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And I've known him for 30 -- for 30 years, and I'm very proud to bring the team to the White House.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CORNISH: So, Knicks owner James Dolan says he is going to the White House. The big question is whether the team will follow.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
[06:48:09]
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: If it works, then I'm going to take the credit. If it doesn't work out, I'm blaming J.D. You better be careful, J.D. He's going to turn his plane around and get the hell out of here. Yes, I like that idea.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CORNISH: OK, that is President Trump saying essentially that J.D. Vance is the one to blame for whatever comes next after the proposed Iran deal.
And conservative voices online agree. Erick Erickson writing this, quote, "I see some people screaming about impeachment of the president over this deal. All that would do would be to put the architect of the deal into the Oval Office."
Now, Vance, as we said, has become the face of at least selling this deal to the American people. He's been everywhere this week, countless shows, podcasts. He's talking about his new book, "Communion," but also talking a lot about the proposal with Iran.
Now, the person we haven't heard from quite as much, Marco Rubio, but he's been by the president's side in France for the G7 Summit. He even handed Trump the document to sign. So, how does this factor into, you know, a race for a potential MAGA successor?
Group chat is back.
I wanted to talk about this because there was so much made of J.D. Vance's role representing the voice of the isolationist wing of the party. And so, I guess the White House solution has been to make him not. To make him the face of something else.
Here is J.D. Vance with Megyn Kelly. Go into the belly of the beast, right, to have a conversation about this. And she really put to him a lot of questions. But here's an example of something he talked about with her.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
J.D. VANCE, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I just don't think that people who are criticizing this, one, they're not actually dealing with the reality of what's in it. And number two, they don't have an alternative.
The benefits of the bargain only accrue again if Iran actually complies. We're not talking about rewarding words, we're talking about changing the way that we deal with Iran based on their actions.
[06:50:07]
We've cut what is fundamentally a good deal for the American people, assuming the Iranians follow through. And if they don't follow through, there's no skin off our back. Nothing changes from where we are right now.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CORNISH: Sorry about that. That was him on a bunch of different shows. But what's interesting is, usually the interviewer is saying, this person is responding badly, this person is responding badly, and they're talking about Republicans. I'm not seeing Vance spending a lot of time beating back Democratic criticism.
DUBKE: So, timing is everything in politics. And the vice president had the unfortunate timing issue of releasing a book and booking -- pre-booking all of these shows prior to the memorandum of understanding that got signed or didn't get signed on Sunday. I can't remember where we are with that one right now. So, that's part of the problem for him. He was set up for these.
CORNISH: But he is talking about -- you know, he's the czar of fraud. I didn't hear about that.
DUBKE: He could have been, except that he's probably responding to the questions that he's getting from responsible reporters who have the vice president of the United States on their stage, pre-booked for his book tour and asking him questions --
CORNISH: And because the administration has said he helped make the deal.
DUBKE: Yes. It was very interesting yesterday. And I watched the full press conference with the president as Peter Doocy was the one that asked that question about J.D. Vance.
CORNISH: Yes.
DUBKE: That was his second question. And I felt like there was a little bit of a setup there.
CORNISH: Oh.
DUBKE: Like, why did the president go back to Peter --
CORNISH: Oh.
DUBKE: At the very end of the press conference to get that question? That was --
CORNISH: Well, you're not beating the allegations here of saying that the White House is setting him up. Meghan, am I hearing something in this messaging?
DUBKE: Yes. I --
HAYS: I mean, is anyone really going to think that J.D. Vance was really in charge of this? I mean, I think that --
CORNISH: Oh, well, by the time this week is done, maybe.
HAYS: I mean, I think that this is like --
DUBKE: Well, that's the -- maybe the point.
HAYS: Are we just trying to hide that Jared Kushner was actually the one negotiating this deal, who does not work for the United States government? But, I mean, I just think that maybe Marco Rubio will end up better when he's trying to run for president. But I don't -- I don't think that Donald Trump cares who gets blamed as long as it's not him. But I don't think the American people are that stupid to realize their gas prices went up because we went into a war of choice by Donald Trump.
CORNISH: Does that make a difference? As she said, we didn't see anyone connected to Trump. The people he really trusts. I'm just saying that in the way that, like, Rubio is not the one going out defending this over and over again. Jared Kushner, as you mentioned, not a paid government employee, happily sent all over the world to negotiate on behalf of the U.S., also not out talking about this. Is it just happenstance because J.D. Vance has a book?
WU: Yes, it is kind of remarkable. I mean the vice president, in many ways it would be deputized to carry out the presidents message, right? This is, you know, the president's agenda.
CORNISH: So you're saying, this is the gig?
WU: This is the gig.
CORNISH: Yes.
WU: This is the, you know, the job you get handed, whether you want it or not. We see this with vice presidents all the time. And for Vance it's extremely high risk.
CORNISH: Right. Kamala being border czar.
WU: Exactly.
CORNISH: Yes.
WU: Like she got, you know, she famously talked about how she didn't really want that. And yet, you know, she got that name.
And so, with Vance, it's very high risk, high reward here. If they manage to actually pull this off, you know, he can settle a lot of the critics on the right who, you know, see him as maybe not as much in Trump's mold. And if he fails, you know, that that could also very much harm his chances in the future.
CORNISH: OK. I want to talk about something else now because basically the Knicks were invited to be at the White House, ticker tape parade today. We're going to be talking about all the fans jamming the city streets. But after that, that trip to the White House, it's kind of a question mark. Now, Knicks owner, James Dolan, he's a longtime Trump supporter. He's confirmed that the president has issued a formal invitation.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JAMES DOLAN, NEW YORK KNICKS OWNER: We just did receive an invitation from --
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You did?
DOLAN: From the White House, which we accepted. We still have to figure out the details, et cetera, but, you know -- yes, of course. I mean, you know, look, I invited the president to come --
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.
DOLAN: To come down for the game, right? He is a friend. I've known him for 30 -- for 30 years. And I'm very proud to bring the team to the White House.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CORNISH: Now, it's not clear whether all the Knicks players are going to be there, and it's not unusual for NBA players to boycott the White House. The Golden State Warriors did it following their 2017 and 2018 NBA championships.
The group chat is back.
This is such a week for politics and sports, you know what I mean? We started with this like octagon on the front lawn.
DUBKE: World Cup.
CORNISH: We're -- and now, so here's the thing. You can do this kind of thing. It depends on where your fans are, right? It's not Kansas City, more red base NFL. It's not NHL, players from other countries, cool to go to the White House. It's the NBA, which basically Trump has had an antagonistic relationship with black athletes for a long time. So, do you think the Knicks are going to show to this?
DUBKE: I hope so. I mean, this, for me, this goes back to what I was saying about the presidential libraries. I think they're a great celebration for all Americans. I think going to the White House as a champion of your league is a great tradition that we have in this country.
[06:55:04]
And so, I'm hopeful that everyone looks beyond whatever their partisan politics may be at the time and they go to the White House for that celebration.
CORNISH: Meghan, I want you to jump in. But, Mike, can you just answer one extra question I have to ask, just because you've worked in this White House. No, you've worked in this White House.
DUBKE: Yes.
CORNISH: Is any Trump event a nonpolitical event? That has not proven to be the case, to my mind, just covering --
DUBKE: You're asking this question of a Bills' fan who protested the Patriots coming to the White House when I was there. I took as many tickets as I could so that there were empty seats for the celebration of that team.
CORNISH: Yes. Yes. Not the (INAUDIBLE) you think it is.
DUBKE: So, I also have been playing partisan politics with teams coming to the White House.
CORNISH: Yes. Actually terrifying. And I will have the Boston fans -- let's just zoom in on Mike's face for a second there. Let's just be absolutely clear. This is Mike.
DUBKE: You can send me all the hate mail you want, Boston. Go for it because --
CORNISH: OK. The other thing, Donald Trump and James Dolan, who's the owner of Madison Square Garden, they are collaborating on an $8 billion redevelopment deal of Penn Station.
As always, there's a financial relationship.
HAYS: Of course.
CORNISH: So, yes, Dolan says they are friends. And I'm not saying Penn Station doesn't need the overhaul. But this design, of course, includes a presidential seal and Trump's name etched on an interior wall. HAYS: Yes, of course. I mean this is always going to -- there's always
some sort of side hustle going on with the Trumps. But I also think what the Knicks players are going to do is look at what happened with the Giants when the quarterback came and introduced Trump and the backlash that he got and the controversy it caused within the team. And I think they're going to look long and hard whether or not they want to be placed in that situation because of whatever Donald Trump could or could not say at their celebration and think if they want to be made the puppets.
I don't know that -- I don't know what their political views are. I have no idea. But I do think that we just saw this with the Giants in New York, and the Knicks are going to look long and hard if they want to be a part of it.
CORNISH: Yes. And it's also complicated by Trump showing up at that game.
HAYS: Them losing.
CORNISH: And incensing the entire Knicks nation all at once. So, it's almost not a typical conversation.
HAYS: Yes.
CORNISH: You have a president who has a deep relationship with New York, who has actually legitimately pissed off the entire city. And so, the Knicks, I don't know if they'll -- would really pay a price for not showing up.
WU: Probably not. I mean the -- look at the celebrations that we're going to see today with the parade.
CORNISH: Let me show -- let me show.
WU: Yes.
CORNISH: Even "The New York Post" has managed to say something nice. It's the "Knick York Post." I see what you did there. It feels like people are loving them too much. Can they do no wrong, though?
WU: Yes. I mean, I think, you know, your average sports fan probably doesn't pay that much attention to exactly which player shows up at the White House and, you know, how that all goes down.
So, you know, this might not be (INAUDIBLE) for them.
CORNISH: Yes, look at how many people are showing up for the parade. I mean, they're into it.
Well, one thing I want to say before we get to group chats is, thanks to the players union, they are not required, nor can they be compelled, to go to events that are political in nature. So, they do have a choice and Dolan cannot force them.
Nic, since you are new here, you want to tell me what's in your group chat? What's in your phone?
WU: My group chats this week, we're very concerned about what's going on with all the flight delays here with America 250. Like, my friends were trying to move around what they're going to do.
CORNISH: Oh. And apparently July 3rd and 4th, there may be a shutdown of some airspace, is that correct?
WU: Yes, DCA is going to be closed for a part of July 4th because of all the flyovers. And, you know, many other -- DCA announced that many other days over the next few months will be affected. And so --
CORNISH: Oh, wow.
HAYS: At least they gave us a warning this time.
CORNISH: Yes, so they -- enter (ph) nice.
HAYS: They didn't -- they didn't -- they did not Saturday, last weekend. So, that's at least nice.
DUBKE: Well, last Saturday was -- yes.
CORNISH: OK. What about you guys?
HAYS: My group chat is obviously "Summer House." We are -- we got to the aftermath of the episode.
CORNISH: How are you still talking about "Summer House."
HAYS: Because there was an epihouse (ph) -- an episode on Tuesday and they've released that West (ph) is not coming back to the -- to the Summer House" for filming.
CORNISH: Oh, yes. So, for the people who don't know, this is the man at the heart of a love triangle that you don't want to know about but do.
HAYS: It's -- I mean, it's incredible but it is now over so we can move on to another Bravo show next week.
CORNISH: Yes. Love it.
DUBKE: Is there -- is there a full house and a winter house?
HAYS: So, there used to be a winter house where they (INAUDIBLE).
CORNISH: Oh, my God. Winter house.
DUBKE: There was a winter house.
HAYS: There was a winter house and they like combined some of the different shows.
CORNISH: Yes.
DUBKE: I mean --
CORNISH: That was called "The Shining."
DUBKE: Yes. Yes.
CORNISH: No?
DUBKE: Fair.
CORNISH: OK. OK.
DUBKE: No, I think so.
Look, I was trying to -- and Meghan says I've already talked about this before, but I -- live events seem to be where people are coming back together.
CORNISH: Yes. Big, you know --
DUBKE: From the New York Knicks celebration --
CORNISH: Yes, yes, yes.
DUBKE: To, I will give the Carolina Hurricanes their kudos for winning the Stanley Cup.
CORNISH: Yes. It was amazing.
DUBKE: I mean, and the World Cup in this massive -- the world is now looking at America because of the World Cup and these -- and these live events. And from concerts to everything else. This seems to be what is finally bringing people together.
Now, it may be the ubiquitousness of cameras everywhere, but even news. Everything is live and we're reacting to everything in real time. But now we're in that golden -- kind of golden age of that and I'm -- I think it's -- I think it's somehow bringing America closer together, regardless of what we've just talked about for the last hour.
CORNISH: Yes. I thought the same thing about the Knicks after a very divisive mayor's race, seeing New Yorkers --
[07:00:00]
DUBKE: Yes.
CORNISH: Instead of talking about who was leaving, who was left out, they actually really are, as we can see from the images, lining up together. And that was really amazing and a nice thing to say on a week like this.
DUBKE: Absolutely.
WU: Yes.
CORNISH: All right, you guys, thank you so much for being here. Nic, thank you for joining the chat.
We're still following all the news about the signing of the Iran deal. What's in the proposal and how the White House is talking about it. So, stay with us for these headlines. I'm Audie Cornish. You've got more news next.
