her tamar and maria already asked for a budget reminder, get campaign smart, as are judging by got it. welcome to the lean on jake tapper this hour, there are new signs of hope in the fight against alzheimer, which in fact nearly 7 million americans, cnn's dr. sanjay gupta is here to break it all down for us. plus, i'm going to be joined by two parents on a mission to bring their son home, hertz golden

for poland was kidnapped by hamas at the nova music festival october 7. and now his mom and dad are back in washington in studio with a message for the world's leading this hour, so many americans are wondering just how safe air travel is as we keep hearing flight controls getting jammed as pilots try to land or an entire piece of a plane billowing out mid-flight. today, we're hearing from a boeing whistleblower, a former senior manager at the company you said on cnn that the manufacturing at boeing is rushed and employees are under pressure to get planes in the air. whistleblower ed pearson also slammed boeing leadership calling the ceo david calhoun greedy and invasive. pearson is so concerned he won't even fly on boeing, max planes anymore i did four a plane and i actually had to get off the plane when i found out it was a max and that's a terrible thing. >> they have to say to somebody that worked for boeing calhoun was supposed to address some of those concerns and his company's overall safety record in a hearing on capitol

hill yesterday. instead, calhoun faced intense questioning after saying he was proud of boeing's safety culture for the american people, they're in danger for your workers. they're in peril for your whistleblowers. they literally fear for their lives, but you're getting compensated like never before, don't you think maybe your priorities are misplaced here? i mean, don't you think maybe it's time to get back to focusing on making quality planes. and paying your workers well, and taking care of the little guys who got you to where you are that's not a rhetorical question. >> senator i don't recognize any of the boeing you described that was missouri republican senator josh hawley, who joins me now senator, did you get any satisfying answers from boeing yesterday? >> no, not at all, jake, it was a whole bunch of why he's not responsible. you had calhoun sitting there. he's making $33 million a year. >> that is a 45% increase over

last year and it was all about how he wasn't responsible, get all he's doing, everything he can oh, he'll do better. >> his planes are literally falling out the sky in pieces. he's paying his workers in many cases next to nothing, they haven't had a way of wage increase in 16 years and yet he has no answers and wants to shift the blame. it's totally unacceptable. so calhoun insisted that the company is committed to safety. >> he said he listens to employees. what's your response to that? >> well, he said that he hasn't even sat down with the whistleblowers, jake. how about that? we've had numerous whistleblowers come to the senate. they've testified under oath that they had been raising safety and quality concerns for years. these are engineers now, they testified that they'd been reassigned. they'd been ignored. they've been threatened and sometimes bullied physically and this guy admits under oath yesterday, the ceo, he hasn't even met with them. >> i mean, come on. this is a farce and he knows that he's just there to collect a paycheck. >> so when yesterday's testimony on the subject of that paycheck, you got them to

acknowledge his $32.8 million salary. now as a conservative, i don't expect you would support legislation that would specifically impact how much a ceo makes. but what do you think is the role of the government when it comes to how much a ceo mage, how much its employees make a deprived the deprived any, sort of raise and in several years, as you noted, like, what is the role of government in that well, let me give you one example. >> senator elizabeth warren and i offered a bill author to build together on executive claw backs for companies who take these big loans from banks and then fail and make off with the profits. and what we said that bill is listed you come in and you take government handouts you take bank bailouts, and then your bank goes under. you ought to give back all of your executive compensation from the last five years. i think we need to send a message to corporate america that it's not write that guys like calhoun are making 33 million when the 32,000 machinist, jake who worked for him in the civic northwest,

haven't gotten a significant pay raise in 16 years, you know, it's interesting because there's this next-generation of republican leaders like you and senator vance from ohio and senator rubio from florida who sound different when you talk about ceos, then maybe you're bads or granddad, republican party. is that a fair observation? >> well, i hope so. i mean, i hope that's right. i mean, i think this is something that frankly both parties have gotten wrong in the last 30, 40 years. and what i mean by that is we've watched jobs go overseas. we've watched blue collar workers lose their jobs, lose their pay, lose the ability to support a family. jake, we can't have an economy where yeah. you got you got a guy who can make pretty 3 million a year, who's not even an engineer, calhoun's not even an engineer. while the folks who actually are supporting this company on their backs are making next to nothing. i mean, that that's just not right and you cannot build and sustain a great nation on that kind of an economy. we need to put working

people first, given the complexities of the industry and the landscape for production globally what, what realistically can the us senate do to make it so boeing and other plane manufacturers are not only reliable, but transparent well, i tell you one thing that i've talked about with calhoun, with the ceo is this boeing used to jake manufacturer almost all of their planes themselves and house. now they have over 600 separate suppliers probably hundreds of more subcontractors worldwide, including many, many in china. i think that we've got to make clear to these guys. you need to bring that production back home. if that means tariffs on the parts that are made overseas, we should do that. if that means that we have tax incentives to make sure they actually make things in this country and pay their workers well, we should do that but i think the message to corporate america needs to be this era of offshoring and outsourcing. look where it leads it ends with planes falling out of the sky. that's where it ends. it ends with workers in this country not

able to make ends meet. we've got to change all of the above so one whistleblower spoke to that who spoke to the committee alleges that boeing has been using subpar parts and actually lied to the faa about it. >> do you expect that person to testifying publicly at some point when might we expect that at what might we hear? i hope so, jake, i hope soon and listen if that in fact, if that testimony comes to be, it will be of a piece with testimony, public testimony. we've already heard from engineers who say that the 787 the 777 and other boeing components are not necessarily safe, less than we had a top quality engineer testified to us in april that he be very reluctant to get on a boeing airplane right now because so many corners have been cut and here's the thing. they deal with the guy like calhoun, the ceo is this. he's getting paid to do exactly what he is doing which is to cut corners, to squeeze profits everywhere he can to get his

margins. and if that means that the planes are unsafe, hey, at least he's getting paid, right? that's what needs to change at boeing. they don't have a culture problem with their employees. they've got a culture problem in the c-suite and that's what needs to happen, that needs to change missouri republican senator josh totally thanks for your time today thank you and we should note that the lead reached down to boeing for comment after its ipo testified the company responded saying it did not have anything else to add we're going to have a major update to a lead exclusive that's just in the biden administration is bringing back a program for goldstar families that was shut down nine years ago. a program restored because of a segment that aired right here on this show. a couple of weeks ago on the 80th anniversary of d-day, we told you the story of ron de elliott, a goldstar daughter her father, corporal frank elliot, was killed during the normandy invasion. now for decades, rhonda and other goldstar families were able to call on the american battlefield monuments commission or a bmc to place

flowers, flowers at the family's paid for themselves on the graves of their loved ones in the cemetery series oversees such as in normandy, it meant so much to them this is my father's ghraieb in normandy with flowers people walk into the cemeteries, they see these flowers and they know that there's somebody at home that's still cares about that soldier nine years ago presumably for cost reasons, the a bmc shutdown that program. >> retired marine corps general john kelly had goldstar dad himself first told us about this program being shut down i think it's minimal cost to the government, minimal work for the government. i suppose who some administrative costs and the battle monuments, but i can't imagine very much it even if it was a lot i've been they did give their lives for the country, but it just doesn't seem to me that steck much work and even if it was a lot of work i mean, just

consider the sacrifice that was a lot of work to today because of our report, a couple of weeks ago, we can now report that this flower program for goldstar families is going to be re-established at the a bmc, a white house official tells cnn quip, the white house saw jake tapper is reporting on goldstar families fighting to restore the program, honoring their fall loved ones because of how deep and personal all this is to the president. >> the white house active quickly with white house chief of staff, jeff zients, directing the team to get the program running unquote the white house is working with the a bmc to get the flour program back online as quickly as possible. the white house cautions that it will take some time to do so but they do expect it to be up and running sometime next year a new report claims the top democrats are growing increasingly worried about president biden's reelection strategy. the journalists behind that stories here live next plus the parents of a hostage who is a dual american israeli citizen. these parents are back in dc joining think the lead here in studio

whenever he gives democracy speeches, he has little extra oomph, a little extra perkin step. >> he really season itself as this bulwark for democracy. but the other main person in this is mike donlan, who has been with him since 1981. they basically have this mine melt and mcdonald's has argued that basically january 6 is equivalent to what 911 was during the 2004 election, which she also worked on. and he basically feels that the dominant met images in people's minds it's when they go to vote in november is going to january 6, but increasingly, especially as the biden campaign has been spending a ton of money has been ranking up their staff and the pull numbers have gone nowhere. >> there's increasing skepticism that this is the strategy that will work and including among biden people themselves. >> but there's sort of a culture within the biden world that's very insular blur, that makes some people scared to bring it up because they're scared of being labeled as being disloyal or not on the team and eva as biden and trevor drawing more attention,

robert kennedy juniors, of course, trying to get ballot access in more states tell us more about that. so he's on the ballot in seven states. he submitted signatures for 23 and total and those still have to work their way through the process. the most consequential state where he's on the ballot of the seven, is michigan it is a swing-state. he got on the ballot there through a relatively easy process, through a minor party called the natural law party. and that is also helpful because even though he's an independent candidate, that party, since they've run candidates in the past they can advise him in certain ways about how to basically how to engage in this process as a minor party candidate in 2020, president biden won that state by just about 150,000 votes in 2016, hillary clinton lost it by 10,000 votes. i was in detroit over the weekend at the hyper maga turning point action convention. but what surprised

me, these were by and large trump supporters was that some of them in detroit, from detroit detroit suburbs. they voted for trump in 2016 and 2020, but previously, some of these for these auto workers, previously voted for democrats like used to vote for president obama and so that tells me that democrats have a branding issue in certain parts of michigan and kennedy is really taking advantage of that. he no longer distance himself on the democratic party. he taxed to the right on a number of policy issues and he could still appeal to some of these disaffected voters yeah. >> and that's a must-win state for biden me if he loses michigan, it's hard to imagine that he becomes president it's incredibly consequential and they recognize that, and that's why they are doing outreach there as well, specifically to black voters in the state. yeah, they called the blue wall for a reason, right? yeah. >> alex, you also spoke to democratic strategists regarding biden's preparations for next week, a week from

tomorrow. tell us about that. >> it's the highest stakes cram session. i'm probably since he was in college. i mean, this is this is he's been incredibly busy on the campaign trail doing fundraisers. he went to europe twice going back and forth, and essentially, what you're going to see is that he is going to be down for most of this next week and he is going to be preparing and trying to it's sort of an old rule that incumbent presidents do terrible on their first debate when they get back, you remember barak obama in 2012? reagan in 1984 and basically he's going to try to not fall for the same, the same tricks because they know the stakes. if he has a terrible debate, not only is going to be more murmurs about, well, can you do it? is this the guy? but then you can see the polls go even further in the wrong direction form. >> alright. it kinda alex thompson, thanks to both you appreciate it. so unproductive and completely untrue. the back-and-forth between the biden white house and one of america's closest allies. >> that's next they are

course, joining us now an expert in urban warfare, retired major john spencer, major, you say israel is upholding the laws of war, given the constraints of urban warfare and the fact that hamas embeds within civilian populations. cnn reporting shows that these 2000 pound bombs or four times heavier than the largest bombs the us dropped on isis in mosul during the war against isis given that, do you understand the biden administration's concerns to continue providing specifically the 2000 pound bombs i understand that that reporting is not factual and it has led to some type of built vacation of a very commonly used tool like the 2000 pound bomb that we did use and mosul. >> and when you use tens of thousands in iraq to include in the invasion that i took part of, where we dropped the reply i've thousand four on one building where we thought saddam might be staying and he wasn't an urban areas. i understand the human rights activist campaign against to

2000 pound bomb and how they want no bombs used in any urban areas. even the reporting that they'd used them in refugee camps. i mean on military targets in tunnels, which happened to be under schools, refugee camps, and other places. because what most people don't report on the 2000 pound bomb is that one of the reasons you need a bigger bomb is to penetrate the ground to an enemy who is in bunkers and tunnels, which is very well known aware hamas has protected itself underneath its civilians you're returning to the region soon. >> tell us what you plan until you're planning to do in terms of the research yes, i've been twice since the war began to include in khan younis and tunnels and in gaza, which to me get you the sense of why you need such large the munition. >> i'm returning to continue to conduct research on urban warfare. i mean, the war against hamas in gaza is the biggest urban centric war since forward two, since stalingrad.

and then the other bottles. so i'll be on the ground again looking at how the idf have actually implemented more things and more tactics to protect civilians. despite the international condemnation that is not backed up by actual people on the ground conducting research a hamas representative in london did an interview with the lebanese newspaper recently he said, if come oscar, go back in time they would still carry out the october 7 attack on israel, in which 1,200 individuals were killed, more than 200 kidnapped. >> they said that hamas representatives said it would be justified how close in your view, israel to dismantle hamas is capabilities to be able to carry out another october 7 like attack very close and actually very close despite threats. >> war is politics your greatest strength is your allies, but despite real threats from the united states and others to not go into places like southern gaza where they're finding hundreds of tunnel shafts and tunnels and

rockets. but they have cleared of the major military capabilities of hamas to do another october 7 attacks. >> many areas. but if they leave, ten to 20% of that, it would just be rebuilt so i think they're very close actually the iran-backed militant group in lebanon, hezbollah, which the us labels so a terrorist group published a nine minute drone video showing israeli military and civilian locations in northern israel. >> this comes as israel says, it has quote, approved and validated operational plans for a potential military offensive in lebanon in response to all the missiles that hezbollah has been firing. >> what do you make of this very tense moment? >> how close is all out war on a second front about to, about to happen? >> i think detention is very high in while we say that nobody wants another front, most people don't recognize that there has been another front since october 8. thousands of hezbollah rockets landing on northern israel and

setting northern israel on fire. and like you said, that video released today where they're threatening to bomb ifa a city of over 280,000 civilians it isn't like israel hasn't tried everything to include announcing, which is really a standard military practice to have war plans, that these plans are finished, ready for approval you would think that has blood would stop attacking israel any moment now. but every day for eight months, they haven't and in last week, there were hundreds of projectiles, rockets, drones, mortars, artillery launched at northern israel, where 80,000 civilians and every time i go there in the hotels that i go to in central israel, because they're homeless retired major john spencer. thanks so much as always for your expertise. and as those battles rage between israel, hamas, there are still more than 100 hostages believed to be in gaza. the parents of one of those hostages, a joint american israeli citizen, join the lead coming up next

them, including your son, are believed to be alive. three of them not are you surprised that more isn't made in american media? and by american politicians about the fact that there are five presumably living american hostages being held by a terrorist group in gaza i definitely think it is shocking that the vast majority of americans have no idea that they're eight us citizens currently right now as we're speaking, being held hostage in gaza, i feel so strongly that i have these memories when brittney griner was being unjustly detained. >> and of course, evan gershkovich, who's still being detained. these trim you doing and paul names house told names. >> the vast majority of americans have no idea that these eight us citizens are being held. >> it's already 257 days and i find it just shocking. people

also aren't aware that of the 120 remaining hostages, that they are representatives of 24 different nations they are christians, jews, muslims, hindus, and buddhists. i very rarely hear anyone advocating for the muslim arabs who are being held or the thai buddhist being held, or the black african christians being held there. nepalese argentinians, germans, polish, you just don't hear it. they try. and i don't know who they are he is, but the world is trying to create this monolithic homogenous group of people. and it's an absolute disservice and injustice to those people being held. >> and john were all about the same age. i mean, i'm old enough to remember the american hostages being held in iran obviously a different circumstance, but the whole country were yellow ribbons night leinz started because of that crisis the de 34 de 115 does it surprise you and what do you think? >> why do you think it is disappoints me and i was thinking about it this morning.

i don't get much exercise nowadays. but jet-lagged up early and running around washington, you just feel the the city, the country, the united states, is steeped in emancipation, liberty, freedom. today's juneteenth that we're celebrating americans don't like people being held against their will. certainly not other americans. so it's disappointing that there isn't more conversation and it's surprising because it's something that is so core to the united states of america. we have people being held. we got to do everything we can to get them out. and one step of that is awareness. i'm pretty sure be talking about this should know about it. they should know the names of the americans who are being held youtube both met with a bipartisan group of senators yesterday to talk about this crisis, these hostage this hostage crisis in gaza, including eight americans, five of whom are living. >> i believe this is your 11th trip to washington, dc since october was was there anything

different about this visit or that meeting? >> that meeting was very unusual, actually, it was a bipartisan meeting of several senators. but what was unique about it is that we were joined by ceos of several very large influential, and powerful companies like oracle, rac, and pfizer, and one tier organized and hosted the event who is l1? the ceo was there what what i was impressed by was just how galvanized they were that this is what we were just talking about. this isn't something that should be politicized. this isn't an issue of democrats versus republicans. of course, in an election season, everything becomes that but the room was saying, didn't need us to say to them the room was saying this is a human issue. this is something that needs to unite all of us around one cause. and let's simplify this cause. their issues all over the middle

east. we've got to solve issues that are big ones in the middle east but let's not allow this to become so complex. these are people being held against their will. let's focus and get them out. and that was the tone in the room. >> and we see night after night in israel, people protesting against prime minister netanyahu saying and the hostage families. i don't need to tell you, have become a force in israel saying the netanyahu government, the idf are not doing enough. they're not focusing on the hostages enough. they're focusing too much on on other on other things. do you agree? >> the truth is there are two different groups of people who you're seeing the streets coming out. there are people who are gathering to support the hostage families and that's one enormous group that balloons two scores of thousands of people, every single saturday night. important position? correct. and then there's also groups of people protesting because they feel that the government

is not doing enough and they feel that it's too long. it's too much suffering across the entire region, and it's time. perhaps for different governance to try to take a stab at this situation we have tried to remain a political. the truth is, we are laser-focused on one thing, and that is to get our only son home. our son who is a civilian who was at a music festival, who had his dominant left arm blown off before he was taken captive. that is where our focus is and we don't want to get caught in the weeds of politics. we're not geopolitical experts we're not military tacticians it really doesn't matter to me who makes this deal. i don't care whose name is on it. i don't care which country is the driving force behind it. i just want my son home and so we've been trying to be very apolitical and our personal approach, but

there's no judgment on anyone who is in the street or any hostage family that is doing what they feel is the right thing to get their child spouse, brother, sister, grandfather home. >> what did you make of the i'm sure you know about this. the brooklyn museum had to exhibit about the noble music festival where your beloved son was taken hostage and so many innocent people were killed and there were actually protesters pro, not just anti-israel or pro-palestinian literally pro-hamas protesters there belittling the pain justifying the slaughter in the streets of new york. >> it's totally astonishing. we sail the time. if you want to be out supporting the palestinians, we have no problem with that. that's totally understandable. but then it gets conflated with having to be anti something else. we saw people holding signs in new york that said kill the hostages. >> how it had a thing and why

is that a thing? >> like who wants to kill innocent hostages? we were in a restaurant here in washington, dc last night a fast-food restaurant? and somebody walked into the restaurants and said to the workers, is this places in asked, who are the owners of this place where we're witnessing this stuff that we hear about from a far and it is astonishing. 2024 in america, it is a very, very small, loud minority and i just want to make sure you know that most of the american people are hoping and praying that hurts gets home soon. and we certainly feel that way here on the lead and on cnn rachel and john thanks so much for being here. i appreciate it. thank you for continuing to tell the story and we will continue to do so. >> here are the names of the five israeli american hostages to still be alive in gaza, 20-year-old eden alexander 22-year-old omer neutra, 23-year-old, hersh goldberg-polin. you just met his parents 35-year-old, tsugi decal fan and 65-year-old keith

to think about my own brain i have a family history of alzheimer's as well sometimes i feel a little rusty sometimes i worry that i make mistakes that may be my friends and family or too polite to tell me about your body composition. >> so that's why i decided to do something quite personal. >> your muscle mass, your body fat white revealing that wasn't quite right. i went through a battery of tests to assess my own risk. >> it's like we got to cholesterol test every year and check your blood pressure i do the same thing for the brain. >> and what did i find? let's just say it dr. gupta joins us now for the launch of a new series, dr. sanjay gupta on on-call, you'll see the qr code on your screen there at the bottom right, you can use it to submit your questions about the latest health news for sanjay and signs. >> it will be back at this time tomorrow to answer some your questions. question. so sanjay, when it comes to all timers, should people being tested to

see what their odds, their risk of contracting this horrible diseases yeah, i think we're getting to the point where we can recommend testing more broadly, maybe not for the masses as of yet, but two things have happened over the last ten years. one is that the testing has gotten a lot better. i'm not talking about just genetic testing which has been around for a long time. >> but really digging into testing around certain risk factors give you a pretty good idea of what your likelihood of developing alzheimer's diseases later. >> but the second thing i think maybe even more important jake, is that i think now you can do something about it. i think part of the reason people think get tested in the past was what am i going to do it that information it's just going to happen now and i'm just going to be worried about it. well, now, i think it's pretty clear from talking to people like richard isaacson who you just saw there in that piece, dean ornish, looking at these trials that we can go a long way towards preventing stalling and maybe even reversing symptoms of all timers. >> how much of alzheimer's is preventable if you had to put a

number on it, it probably be around 40% which is very high number in the scheme of things, jake, because i think a lot of people, they got the diagnosis and it was kinda like looking into the abyss for them, there was nothing they could do. >> there was nothing they were told to do except sort of get their affairs in order. but now you can get a sense of how much earlier in life you can start to make interventions to prevent all timers later and many of those things and involve just lifestyle changes. these, these aren't there are new drugs out there, but a lot of the documentary was around these lifestyle changes. dr. dean ornish did a trial where it was a small child, just 50 patients, but half of them got this lifestyle intervention that you're looking at on the screen half did not these were all people who had cognitive impairment due to all timers in the group that got the intervention. many of them either stayed the same air versus declining, which is what happens to most people. and some people even improved over that timeframe, which was just

five months. jake, for five months, these lifestyle changes you actually saw improvement in some of these patients frankly, something that we'd never really seen before. a reversal of the symptoms of alzheimer's jake sanjay, we're launching this new series where you're going to answer questions submitted by viewers. what motivated you to take this on? >> what i think so much of what we do when it comes to medical and health news is so intimate for people. so personal. and we will continue to provide the news so people understand what is happening in the world with regard to these issues at any given time? but at the same time, we realized a lot of people have questions because this is a sort of news that affects their lives so deeply so we have the ability at cnn to have this two-way interaction with the viewer. so they get to ask, we were talking about it now we're gonna get a lot of questions we've already started to get questions and we're going to go through those in an answer them directly. we'll do it on your show. hopefully we'll do it on
