>> i'd write next, putin and kim make a deal as investigative reporter crystal grows ab has new details tonight about the spies wants from kim. he's my guest plus larry sabato, one of the nation's most trusted political voices, telling out what costs are, calling him asking what would happen if biden is not the parties nominate who's calling and what are they saying? a new reporting tonight on trump's ground game bigger than anyone knew why he may have the democrats to thank for that. >> let's go out front and good evening. >> i'm erin burnett outfront tonight, we begin with the longest goodbye vladimir putin and kim jong-un couldn't bear to part this evening embracing on the tarmac, prolonging their goodbyes. both standing there across from each other, waving goodbye once putin got inside is played, he continued to stare at kim almost longingly.

then waving smiling ear 30 ear. kim, minister, cheering, squad, waving enthusiastically back. >> it's hard as they could. >> it was almost childlike. >> putin departing after signing what was the most significant defense agreement for russia since the cold war, nobody knows exactly all the details. we do know that it includes ammunition, missiles for putin's war on ukraine, for kim access to crucial russian nuclear weapon technology and much his putin may think are certainly used to think that the leader of north korea is beneath him. he needed this meeting he went all in for it and kim treated putin like azar. look at this massive banners of kim and putin everywhere, crowds everywhere. >> they pose just for pictures together with these massive portraits behind them, taking time to drive each other around. you see putin taking the wheel there. that has a new russian built limousine the putin is driving. they're not being driven by chauffeur, driving them selves all the while, thousands of adoring

fans looked on on everywhere they went. i mean, it was a rockstar reception that fors are just listen to how russian state television, which was there on the scene reported on it was up with steelers shatter balloons were in the air for two months, three chaleff trump's north korean children came to greet putin. we'll add everything was involved soviet songs, russian flags. and of course, what blaring cheers of the korean people in honor of the dearest guess arrival from the invincible russia. >> but a yamaka the invincible russia. >> this is quite a turn because it was just seven years ago that putin was treating kim like a persona on a lawn grata, way beneath him. i mean, listened to putin then you please now, we do not recognize north korea's nuclear status. >> pyongyang's nuclear missile program grossly violates the un security council resolution. >> but anyway, wow, the tables

have turned. >> here's putin. today pn friday, pretty much pyongyang has the right to take reasonable measures to strengthen its own defense capabilities. >> ensure national security, and protect sovereignty and putin state run television anchors were almost giddy at the idea that this deal could give north korea the power to strike the us mainland you'll ballistics it's ballistic missiles already reaching hawaiian islands, not to mention japan, the centers on the west coast of the united states could be under attack sometime later. i'm putting all of this part of a war lost that is deeply dangerous. the former director of national intelligence james clapper tells out front the evolving partnership between putin and kim poses a serious threat to the national security of the united states. >> and putin's total about face on kim and these past seven years does make sense in the context of his singular focus on taking on the west a

singular obsession shared by kim. >> the west of course, shorthanded to the united states. >> an obsession that may explain those long goodbyes and longing looks well, ripley is out front. >> he is in hanoi and vietnam, that is where putin has just landed after leaving north korea, will have very different welcome for putin, where you are standing tonight aaron, it may have been a long goodbye and feeling young, but it was a cautious and quick hello here in hanoi, vietnam, trying its best to host president putin for a relatively toned down, but friendly state visit without alienating the us and allies. >> kim jong un, on the other hand, welcoming putin in signature, north korea in style within other truth by the time vladimir putin's plane landed in north korea, it was 3:00 a.m. wednesday hours behind schedule. >> we'll let him let him ready. chip kim jong-un was at the airport waiting, greeting the russian president with handshakes smiles driving

together in one of two russian limousines, putin gave kim as a gift. pass pyongyang skyscrapers lit up to welcome the russian leader in a nation plagued by power shortages they toured kim's lavish guest house where putin spent the night waking up to the sound of huge crowds lining the streets of pyongyang chanting, welcome putin in almost perfect unison. rolling through pyongyang, riding past streets packed with people, waving russian and north korean flags. as far as the eye could see most of these people don't know the brutal reality of pune score in ukraine or the claims pyongyang denies that huge amounts of north korean weapons and ammo are flowing into russia, cut off from the outside world, north koreans only know what their government wants them to know. that putin is kim's new

best friend. >> dprk expresses full support and solidarity with the struggles of the russian government we highly appreciate your consistent and unwavering support north korea and russia reviving a defense treaty from the cold war, agreeing to help help each other if attack the strongest military pact between the two nations in decades. putin also says, russia doesn't rule out developing military technical cooperation raising fears around the world, putin might help kim make his missiles more accurate. in exchange for for a continued steady supply of weapons and ammo for putin's war on ukraine. >> so we've seen a sea change in which the russians are now overtly breaking the sanctions and helping the north koreans to break the sanctions, which of course is a great boon to north korea veteran north korea and china journalists mike

chinoy it says kim has all been abandoned. us diplomacy, angry and humiliated after summit talks with former president donald trump fell apart five years ago in hanoi, vietnam, what we now are seeing is a kind of reconstituting of an anti-american block consisting of russia chunk china, north korea, and iran and all of those nations don't ask kim jong wound to give up his growing arsenal of nuclear weapons, aaron weapons that north korea and russia, by the way, have long threatened to use against the us if provoked. >> so now is here in hanoi trying to prove they still has allies here in southeast asia vietnam, maybe an old friend of russia, but it's his new friend and north korea and they're deepening military alliance that has much of the world worry tonight, erin. >> all right. thank you very much. well, in who noi and i want to go now to crystal grows ev investigative journalist

who's on russia's wanted list and jean lee, the former pyongyang bureau chief for the associated press, christo, i just want to start here. i know you've got new reporting on just how close putin and kim are. and specifically, i know you've uncovered a link involving what some may remember that assassination of kim jong un's brother that happened in the middle of a crowded airport that there is a link here yeah, there is. >> and i think it's relevant in the context of what we're seeing now, which may be treated as a sort of a payback time at the time it's thousand 17 when kim jong lungs brother was assassinated by what everybody the world assumed was just an operation by the security service so if north korea, it was know that the north korean agents who conducted the assassination or control the assassination, fled to russia. and from there, they were headed over despite the request by south korea for them to be handed over to south korea, there were sent back to north korea. what is not known and what we're reporting for the first time is that these

same agents, four of them actually to spend some time in russia before arriving to malaysia and to hanoi before that, would that operations so clearly there was some training, some assistance provided by russia, whether logistical or more than that that in the long term became a favor, that putting could ask for ask back for maybe haven't yeah, absolutely. i just just to emphasize, i mean, that's incredible new detail here that that assassination team had just spent time in russia and had received yet, but their connections, training. so do you think then christo that what we're seeing now in terms of what putin is now wanting from north korea, is this the payback? >> well, it's way back, but it's not just for that. i mean, we've seen other evidence that supplies from north korea had received training in russia. we've received access to the mailbox of a north korean diplomat, basin vladivostok that shows that there was a constant flow of spice from north korea that

received training in russia so, there has been, a lot of behind the scenes support. bye, by putin's russia to north korea's regime over the years. and it's payback time now indeed again, just to emphasize all those spice training and russia showing the depth of these ties. >> gene, you know, when we what we see here in the imagery, the pomp and circumstance, i say fit versus are, i mean certainly putin's never had a welcome like this anywhere, even in his own country, they're not able to control people to this extent that they are north korea. he got a big hug on the tarmac from kim jong on that personal touch, they take walks together they got in the limousine together and putin is driving kim around and this limo that is made in russia that he gave to kim gene. when you look at this and you have been covering kim since he took the public stage in north korea. what stands out to you? what do you see in these moments? >> while aaron, i have to tell you that i had a knot in the pit of my stomach watching

these images of putin and came in pyongyang like from that embrace to the massive portraits on chemo kills on square that lionized these two men. i've never seen anything like that in all my years in north korea i have to tell you that it evoked in me and emotion. i don't think i felt since my childhood growing up here in america during the cold war and as the daughter of korean war survivors, and i think that's precisely what these two men want to do by standing together as friends and as military allies. it's two instigate a sense of anxiety in us, but i will say that watching kim seen him just go to putin, embrace him, reminds me how far he has come and how much these meetings have given him legitimacy and legacy. now, this is a huge ego boost for putin, but it's also important for kim both them are international pariahs. >> this is a moment to show their own people in addition to sending a warning to us, but to show their own people that

look, we still have friends, friends. >> we're going to help us. friends that we can stand together with in case of war. so absolutely interesting to see the interaction between them christo, you talk about putin's the game here, and the spies that you say the koreans buys north korean that have trained in russia, the assassin team that perhaps received training in russia. how do putin security services who are such a central power? >> power center in russia themselves? >> how do they view this, this entire relationship now, this, this now the biggest security deal for russia since the cold war i think there the ones the security services in russia the or wants to see this as a real opportunity of equals for they can help each other more so than the military had been receiving already. shells and ammunition from north korea for more than a year a total almost 5 million units, according to some estimates not all of them are completely happy with these

deliveries because not all of them work up to the standards that the russians have gotten used to from their own production. but the security services, the ones who can benefit from some support, some help from north korea. why? because russia is one out of spice around the world and this is not an exaggeration. russia has long most of their diplomatic spies and the diplomatic cover because of a lot of exponents over the last couple of uses, the war started and a russia has lost a lot of their illegals. the people on the long-term illegal cover sorry sorry, go ahead of them to maintain secrecy. >> so they need to replenish the need to replenish their operating potential and using other people or other people spice is something they do. they've used belarusian spies in eastern europe before, and now they can use also north korean spice some of their more remote asian operations, for example, which is a crucial gene. one question here, obviously there was the situation with trump and came

right, they had the summit, the love letter, the whole thing trump is now saying that it was bragging about the relationship is if he wins it suddenly this relationship would be good with north korea. again, that this would all be broken up here's what he said in recent days i get along with kim gentlemen, remember the famous couple of meetings i get along great with my noem quite well and he's a very smart guy that korea's getting the first very well gene. this kim reciprocate, this, is this anything other than just bluster they clearly have established a relationship a-b romance of sorts. >> but i should remind you that the negotiations, despite that connection and that connection that they forge the negotiations, didn't know not pan out. and those negotiations are only going to be hard harder. so many years later, as north korea has built up, its are subtle to an even greater degree if donald trump is back in the white house. so i don't

think it's going to be clear and sailing even if he is elected and he could be very complicated. and i think that donald trump knows that but he doesn't want to use that as a campaign slogan. >> all right, christo jean. thank you both very much next, the payback trump on the cusp of getting revenge, the candidate he back is only a few hundred votes ahead, still though too close to call plus one of the country's most trusted political analysts selling out front than he is hearing from democrats worried about biden. what are they saying and what are they asking for when they call? larry sabato? holster, an expert outfront ahead and new reporting on trump's ground game. a ground game that wouldn't even be legal if it were not for democrats will explain night cnn celebrate juneteenth with special performances by john legend, eddie lewbel if? you robinson, we still have a lot of work to do. juneteenth, celebrating freedom and legacy too night at ten on cnn higher shipping

donald trump's best efforts to oust him. and what's become the most expensive gop house primary this year. meloni's a nonna is outfront republican congressman bob good hanging by a thread. >> bob good. >> two is actually bad for virginia. >> and who will stab you in the back like he did me after being targeted by donald trump in a bitter and expensive primary race, which remains too close to call mr. trump it out of videos saying you stabbed him in the back. what's your response to that good is just barely trailing his opponent, john maguire, a navy seal, and virginia state senator, who declared victory hours after the polls closed on tuesday ladies and gentlemen the votes are in and the people have spoken it is an honor to be your republican nominee for the congressional but trump's endorsement of maguire fail to deliver the decisive knockout blow he was hoping for. and

even some maguire voters wished he had stayed out of the race. stay away from it, and got where you won't call problems with vision, but the people make their makeup to match the source of trump's anger. >> good. initially backed florida governor ron desantis over trump, a perceived active this loyalty that trump has not forgotten, just want to congratulate and thank governor ron desantis. america is hungry for courageous conservative leadership. and as chairman of the ultra conservative house freedom caucus, good has made other powerful enemies in the gop, including kevin mccarthy, whom good voted to remove as speaker. >> his legacy is going to be that he shrunk our party. we're down to a one vote majority in congress, but good has still hugs trump tightly in the race assigned that trump's stamp of approval remains highly coveted in the gop good even showed up in new york to support trump during his hush money trial last month. >> so we're here to have his back. we're here to defend them and to tell the truth about this, this travesty of

justice, this political persecution, this election interference, this rigging elections. and he made campaign signs using trump's name, earning a sharp rebuke from trump's team, john maguire has my complete and total endorsement. i want that to be understood because bob good's going around saying we're friends. i mean, he was fine the last six months, but before that he was basic disaster but good is not throwing in the towel just yet, vowing to stand the race until every vote is counted. >> and writing on social media, we believe we can still prevail. >> i believe that you all will send me back to washington if the margin is less than one percentage point. >> good. can ask for a recount, meaning trump's quest for revenge remains on hold at least for now melanie, it's amazing. >> i know you had a chance to speak to a lot of voters today that actually they didn't want to go on camera, which is a really fascinating thing in and of itself. i mean, so tell me about that and what they told you yeah.

>> erin, we've been talking to voters here in the district really, you can't go very far without seeing bob good's signs and or john maguire signs, most of which include donald trump's name on them. so we've been asking voters how much it donald trump's endorsement impact your decision makings. an air and i got to tell you the responses were pretty mixed. i talked to one gentleman he was wearing a donald trump cap. he said he's a big trump supporter, but he said that he voted for bob good because he liked his policies more so than trump's payback. so it remains to be seen whether trump's endorsement is going to be enough to put john maguire over the finish line and defeat bob good that's fascinating. >> and the fact that we still don't know it just yet again, you realize every vote matters and it is so good and important than in virginia, people are trusting the system as they, as they should. thank you so much, melanie. and next, larry sabato, one of america's most trusted political experts, says he's fielding questions from democrats asking about what if biden's not their nominee so why are they asking this now? who are they proposing?

america's most trusted political experts, and the man behind saboteurs, crystal ball, which predicts the likely outcomes of races across the country revealing that he is now getting phone calls from some democrats who have concerns or questions about what would happen if if joe biden is not the party's nominee those november and larry is with me now, so larry first of all, i know you you're you're certain joe biden is going to be the nominee, but you're getting these calls can you tell me about them? >> who's who's calling you? what are they saying? >> i think every animal is has a group of go-tos, erin people they've known for years or decades. and we're able to be frank with one another and off the record or deep background or whatever, we cover a lot of subjects. sometimes it just comes up in the middle of a conversation and one or two cases it was a bit different. it was about asking whether there were clear historical precedents for open conventions to choose a nominee if the

original nominee was unable to serve this perfectly legitimate, you do want to a plan b the republicans ought to have one to there khamenei just turned 78 so i think that's good preparation. >> now, there is a difference, at least i seen a difference over many decades. i've been around politics democrats really are more nervous and more easily panicked than republicans are. i'm not sure exactly faculty why that's the case but they get nervous. they read the same polls, which i don't believe, by the way, as everybody else and they talk to themselves and they decide that they want to check out some possibilities. >> so it's interesting when you say everyone ought to have a plan b i generally they don't because you're not looking at the situation. you're looking at, right? with the age of the two people who are going to be the nominees here who are they asking you about, larry, i understand people some are going to ask about kamala harris and how

that would play out. but who are the other names when they say to you if something happens, then what who is that name? >> sure some of them the ones that are in public, office, of course. probably you're thinking about themselves all all senators and governors and so on. wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and see a president. but the ones who were mentioned most frequently and not just by these people that i've been talking to our governor, gavin newsom california governor pritzker of illinois, because he could sell thun governor whitmer of michigan, her appeal is pretty obvious in michigan is so critical. governor shapiro, who's done quite well and become popular quickly and pennsylvania, another key swing state and others and notice most of them are governors because they don't have long records of having cast votes on every controversial issue known to man and woman so it's a little bit easier to present them. >> all right, so if you weren't looking at this and you obviously you are the

creator of the crystal ball. how much of an edge could a new democrat on the democratic ticket? the top of the ticket? >> how much of an edge would that even give the democrats at this point this is a really important questionnaire and because democrats who may be thinking about alternatives need to understand what would happen. >> the new candidate would undoubtedly at first received positive that publicity and people would say, oh thank goodness, we no longer have that choice between trump and biden that. >> we don't want, or what would happen after that first blush, the other party would dig up every negative thing they could find about that candidates past and present personality. and it would be all over tv and social media for weeks. so the glow would last. it never does in politics. >> all right, well, larry, thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> and do any me now to follow on this, the former democratic

congressman max rows and the former trump white house communications director, alyssa farah griffin. >> i'm actually you hear larry talk about this when he's saying he was i thought it was very he really explained it. >> he said it's not just casual conversations where it comes up. some people actually calling with this, that he senses a greater sense of anxiety and paranoia among democrats than republicans. and i know you're not necessarily hearing the same thing, but people are hearing get from the party. here are two people very well-known individuals expressing this concern yeah, sure. >> i'm sure there's just a lot of concern about the age issue and that is something that i think he needs to ponder. just do a check and say, is this the right thing to do? >> there's so much talent and a lot of it is young and vigorous and energetic. i thought i'd biden present. biden could consider not run a fair election, but that's not the charge that he made.

>> what do you say to them and those party insiders who are calling larry sabato, you know, it's interesting because what the republicans are also saying, like the background is psi for instance, is that this is actually a conspiracy that the plan is already said it's a conspiracy that biden is sure to be replaced i tell you if it was at this stage, if it had gone beyond the actual rods and the kerville's, i was 100%, correct. i've never met a sitting elected official at the statewide level who doesn't want to be president. so what would the governor whitmer is in the newsom's of the world be doing right now they'd be calling donors. they'd be calling delegates. they've been making plan to rise auto their data left it would be an incredible shadow effort right now, not just to win the nomination, but to also try to raise over $1 billion in like 90 days so that's not happening at all and people might be calling larry people might be talking about it. who used to serve former president's but that shadow

campaigns not happening, which means that there's no, they're, they're here now. >> analysts, obviously that is crucial because they would have to raise them in the complexity, i guess that's what a lot of these huge are calling about you. how does this work? got an election? how does it open comeback? engine work? how do you, how do you raise this money of the names that larry mentioned and those are the ones that he said kept coming up. >> who would who would trump consider to be the biggest threat. >> so unquestionably, gavin newsom and i think i think the others would struggle with name id even though we all know who they are. you people in california don't necessarily know who gretchen whitmer is, but this is a popular second term governor of the weather most populous states. >> i've been in meetings with at least one meeting with newsome and trump, and he raved afterward. >> he's out of central casting. he looks the part. he was very gregarious. he was nice to trump, but he can also cater to the more left-wing of the party that's the only person in this very hour. but they're scenario who i think could even rise to the occasion and to trump would be threatened by but i was of the axelrod mind that the stakes are too high. biden should be

performing better. they should consider replacing him. i think the window is totally closer. you cannot do that five months out and raise the name id that you need to reach as many voters as you need to be such a herculean effort and yet max, we're in a situation where axios is reporting that many senior democrats, including some of biden's aides, are really doubting how biden's going about it. they're saying specifically his called democracy is under threat and harkening back to january 6 and saying it's a choice between that and may 1, democratic strategist said and to axios, it's unclear to many of us watching from the outside whether the president and his core team realize how dire the situation is right now, and whether they even have a plan to fix it, that is scary. >> are you scared by the campaign biden's running right now, but let's scared by the campaign that biden's running. i am totally frightened. you by a presidential election that involves even a slim chance that donald trump could become the president elect. >> not a slim chance right now. oh, look, it's much more than in this country.

>> the way were politically divided. it is, oh always going to be close to 50, 50. now, biden's weakness and strength is people have doubted him before. they doubted his campaign in 2020, and the effort in 2022 in both those instances, highly successful, i do fall back on one critical stat and that is in poll after poll, after poll, there's roughly 70 into 12% of the electorate that's undecided. i can understand how someone is still undecided. >> but when they ask them if the election was today, who would you go with? >> biden is still winning so long as that's the case, i do believe that momentum is on his side. >> larry mentioned that republicans should have a plan b as well in part get that people don't seem to care about the legal stuff, whatever all that the reasons they thought they need a plan b, but you also have a 78-year-old man running and something could happen. same reason that it's pensively worried about biden on the democratic side, they're not worried about trump on the republican side. well, it underscores why six and ten americans didn't want this

free text allo vii to three-to-one, three-to-one. today watch all do episodes of practical jokers on a new network. >> july 11 tds tonight, the trump ground game, no one knew we had. >> so we've got new reporting from trump insider, mark prieto, and it reveals that the trump campaigns ground game could be much larger and stronger than anyone expected. and that the reason for that is democrats democrats fought and

won to change a campaign finance rule that team trump is now exploiting and markup udo is outfront. he is the national political reporter at the bulwark. okay. mark so in this reporting, you say nobody thought trump's ground graeme, would amount to much in part because of all the nikki haley's and all the people, you know, all the other resources that had gone another way. this is taking people by surprise. so what more can you tell me well, thanks for the democrats asking if a campaign can coordinate closely with a field organization that is a group of people who paid canvases to knock on doors and getting the answer, yes. >> let's sort the answer to trump's prayers of the trump campaigns, prayers because they didn't have much of a ground game. they didn't have a lot of money, they couldn't really hire staff they didn't have experience. now essentially, they can outsource a lot of that. we're talking like maybe about 3,000 paid canvases across six maybe seven swing states. the thing is though

it's not in-house they're going to have to kind of contract out, deal with other committees, other political groups, those political groups will do the hiring. there are some rules, but by enlarge it makes it a lot easier for the trump campaign to outsource something it couldn't do before. >> all right, so you write and we talked about the huge money gap between the two campaigns. i understand you're saying, look, it's not necessarily going to be all roses. however, i just want to emphasize here marquis, this, this, that the trump campaign is able to take advantage of. that is helping them in measurably is thanks to a democratic election lawyer, right democratic election lawyer fought for this how correct on behalf of a group called texas majority pac? >> yes and they did this because they thought biden would benefit or why? no. they did this at the senate level and at the state-level, texas democrats hope broadly can eventually flip blue. and in order to do that, they've got to put democrats say, the resources, the money, and the know-how into it. this would be a help to call on all read. they hope in his race against

ted cruz, however, federal races are federal races. and the same rules apply to a senate candidate as it does to a presidential one. and therefore, the trump campaign says here's an opportunity solve our problem. biden's campaign has a massive internal organization that's handling all of this and they're not really going to be taking advantage of it, at least not right now. it's the trump campaign that is well and it saves them because they didn't have anything as you point out. so whether they're able to to get where they need to get with it. that's that's the question. but the fact that they even have the opportunity and that's thanks to a democratic election lawsuit, i think is hugely important to emphasize. but you also say mark in your reporting that trump could be his own worst enemy here because as even though sometimes his campaign speeches, he's been saying things like people should vote and take whatever you do, whatever you need to do voting early, then he comes out and slams early voting and he just did it the other day. and just so everyone understands, this is what if you go to a rally? this is what people heard from trump we don't need votes, we

got more votes than anybody's ever had we need to watch the wout. we did to guard the vote. we need to stop the steal. we don't need votes. we have to sell focus, don't worry about votes. we've got all the votes so how does this hurt him it's not very helpful. >> understand just weeks before the trump campaign, the republican national committee had unveiled this idea. a program called swamp the vote. and they said, look, you want to vote early in-person, great you want to vote by mail. great. you want to vote on election day. great. just show up. everyone needs to vote. everyone needs to vote. everyone needs to vote. few weeks later, donald trump is sort of off that teleprompter is off the script and he's back to those leg. logo, got plenty of votes, don't worry about it. yeah, it's not the sort of thing that helps but trump throughout his political career has been self sabotaging and in 2016 he won in 2020, he didn't we're going to see about
