mixer for only 56 i got this barbecue smoker for 26 bucks. >> and shipping is always free. go to deal dash.com right now and see how much you can save i'm zachary cohen and washington and this is cnn you were in the cnn newsroom. >> mind pamela brown and washington and we begin this hour with breaking news sources. tell cnn more than a handful up top house democrats are calling on the president to suspend his reelection campaign. this came during a call between ranking members and house leader hakeem jeffries earlier today. and as president biden hit the campaign trail on pennsylvania today, telling supporters he's never been more optimistic check about the future of america, insisting he's got the backing up his party we're going to bring in cnn's dana

bash in just a moment with what she's hearing from her sources. but first cnn's are led signs is live outside the white house tracking >> in all these breaking developments, it's really quite incredible. the split-screen arlette of a president digging in his heels and members of his own party telling him to step aside. yeah. pamela, you know, president biden when he was traveling today, it said that he does believe that the democratic party is behind him, but you are consistently seen the public and private pressure grow on president biden to step aside in this race. the latest coming from cnn reporting that during a call with house minority leader hakeem jeffries, this out afternoon, several top house democrats said that they do believe it is time for president biden to step aside sources have told cnn that there were about six of people who spoke up on this call say that they do not think that the president should be the democratic nominee. that includes people like adam smith, susan wild. wild, marked cano also jerry nadler. all calling in this private phone call were told a further

president to leave this race. now, there were a few lawmakers on this call who spoke up in defense of this president that included maxine waters and bobby scott. but a sources said that the number of people speaking up for president biden to step aside outweighed those speaking in support of him staying in this race. now, i came jeffries called this meeting with the ranking members on the democratic side in order to really take the temperature of these leaders heading into this week. so much of the conversation around president biden in the 2024 race has played out, woke congress was away from washington dc. that is about to change this week where lawmakers are set to return, they will be in front of reporters. they will be holding their own meetings the likelihood is that there will be more calling for the president to step aside, more pressure growing on him at this moment. now one thing sources said that was also notable from this call is that jeffries himself has yet to publicly or even privately in these calls saying which way he is leaning he is really in a listening

mode, trying to hear their members believing that they have the ability and the right to make their voices heard. so we will see how this week plays out, but certainly this is all notable at a time when president biden has been defiant saying that he is staying in this race through november number you saw that play out as he campaigns across pennsylvania today. i will note that while he was in the battleground, state of pennsylvania, he was joined by some pennsylvania elected officials, including senator bob casey, senator john fetterman as well as congresswoman madelene dean. he also made a stop with the state's governor, josh shapiro in the campaign keynes view. this is an opportunity to have him out there with his supporters to show that there are some lawmakers who are still a behind the president remaining in this race, but certainly the pressure has been growing on him and we will see whether there are more calls to come as congress is set to return a here to washington this week and how president biden adapts to all that at a time when he's insisting he is charging forward with his campaign, he is planning more battleground travel, heading to

michigan at the end of the week and next week, even as some within his party are saying that it's time for the president to go in the 2024 race incredibly consequential time, right? it just cannot be overstated and consequential time, not just for the president before this country, right? cnn's dana bash joins us now on the phone. dana, what is the significance of this moment? >> i mean, it's it's hard to really put into context how significant it is. the one thing i do want to note that i find interesting pam, is that this call that occurred today was a private call was a call. i'm told that was done with no staff. it was members. and these are ranking members. so the top democrats on the committees and with hakeem jeffries as are just talking about and so far, unless something has happened in the last 30 seconds or so, all of

these members that we are talking about from jim hims, who's the top democrat, democrat on the intelligence committee to adam schiff, to susan wild, to adam smith, who is the top democrat on the armed services committee. they have not said this publicly yet. i imagine that is going to change. >> but this this is part of a private conference call which in some ways takes on perhaps even more of an significance and maybe even intrigue because what they were trying to do was say to their leader look, you got to help us out here effectively. we want you to make it clear to the president that this is what we believe needs to happen for the good of the presidency, for the, for the good of the party. i'm told that one of the messages that was very clear was

concerned earn about losing the ability to retake control of the house and susan wild is a democrat from pennsylvania, where the president was today. she is one of those so-called front minors. my understanding is she was one of the if not the only frontline are on this call and she was pretty adamant that she felt it was crucial for president biden to step aside in order to not face some serious losses in november and it's notable dana, how the house minority leader, hakeem jeffries is handling this so far as you point out, this was sort of a plea from some of the members, right but so far he has still not showing his cards he's not and you know what? >> from every conversation that i've had with people who had spoken to him, that has been consistent. my understanding is that he is clearly concerned. i

mean, otherwise he wouldn't be having these calls in the first place but he is acting as sort of a vessel for his memory first but i do want to say one other thing, even though this is very significant, these are really important players in the house democratic caucus people in trusted with really big positions in these really important committees it's. not it's not just one sided. there are democratic lawmakers who are saying absolutely do not go. i'm told that maxine waters, for example, veteran congresswoman from from california that bobby scott also was saying this is the wrong thing. we cannot push joe biden out and they're not alone. we're hearing that from other lawmakers and also from a lot of grassroots organizers

and people who have been home. i mean, remember, it's july 4 week, so all of these lawmakers have been home on july 4. most of them were out at parades or events. so they've really been interacting with their constituents. and it is not one-sided at all debbie dingell was on state of the union with me this morning. she comes from the critical battleground state of michigan and she said she heard justice much support for joe biden pleading with her to tell him to stay in the race as people saying, please tell him to go so it's not cut and dry in the least i think that's really important context and we've certainly been playing some of the sounds from the grassroots voters as well on the ground. what are they thinking? and certainly, some of them said, look, i was concerned when i saw as debate performance, but i still want him to stay atop the ticket. and when the white house i think what you're probably hearing to dana is that when the members are back, when the

leaders meet with their caucus is both missing it and house that is when we're going to get a much better sense of where where lawmakers are right now, we have 11 defections at last count, at least. but it's important to over the contexts, there are 213 democrats in the house, right? so we'll see what happens dana bash, thank you so much. and our lead as well, joining us now, a cnn senior political analyst and senior editor at the atlantic, ron brownstein. ron, you say the democrats are stuck in a dangerous limbo right now how do you see it? >> yeah well, look, i mean, i thank you. have a drip drip. drip senior democrats, particularly in the house starting in the senate, who are expressing publicly what many of them are saying privately, that they don't think biden can recover from that debate performance to beat trump. and that drip, drip, drip is going to weaken him. whether there he stays in the race or not but you haven't had a coalescing

to the point particularly among the more senior democrats, that there is genuine pressure yet on him by irresistible pressure on him to get out. i mean, you know, people close to biden have told me that there may be only he two democrats, nancy pelosi and jim clyburn, who he kind looks at as peers, who might in fact be able to influence this decision. but i do think that for those who believed that biden is now in a position where you can't win the phrase i heard a lot thursday and friday was grace. we needed to give them grace to reach this decision on his own. the fact that instead he's kinda dug in very publicly since i think is going to change that equation and it's highly likely you're going to see more public pressure on him this week. >> but the reality is, at this point, he's dug in, right? i mean, he is being very defiant so does the party with these more and more defections and him continuing to do again and he stays a top of the ticket.

is the party risking weakening him? as a candidate? >> yeah, absolutely. yeah. i mean, like, well, in order to add word, i'd add to your statement there. pam has further weakening him because for him to get out of the race. yeah. they believe that. look, why did this debate exist in the first place, you know, a debate in june there's never happened before. it happened because the biden campaign realized that they were not on a trajectory to win. you know, i mean, they were the ones who are trailing and they needed to shake up the race. and if you look at biden's position in 24 relative to 2020, what is his biggest problem is biggest problem is declining performance. a young, among younger, none on white voters who are traditionally democratic and this debate really kind of reinforced and underscored their concerns that he's to open up at 84% of people in that time cnn poll under 45, said he's too old to be an effective president for.

so, for those who are worried, it's not like this kind of drawing this is not the house dropping out of the sky in the wizard of oz. i mean, this was an existing problem that got work and at the least is an enormous opportunity costs and failing to put them on a better trajectory. so i think there's a lot of concern and i also think there's there's a surprising amount of willingness even among democrats who have been scarce skeptical of kamala harris to believe at this point that she is a better bet but it would still be a complicated process, right? >> i mean, it's not cut and dry in terms of, you know, we don't know. right. so obviously, if he doesn't want to go, it's almost impossible to remove him. yes. under the rules, even his pledged delegates can vote against them on the first ballot, they changed those rules in the 80s after the fight over the so-called robot rule at the 1980 convention. but they are biden delegates, not going anywhere unless he gets out of the race if if he does get out of the race in theory, a whole

bunch of candidates could get in. and as, you know, there is an audience for that. and the democratic party, not only among the kind of the consultants and the profession of political professionals, but also voters. there are voters who are dubious and they're professionals were dubious that harris is a better bet. i'm not sure that any the of the candidates who would be seen as a stronger general election candidate than harris would actually get in the race against her. if biden steps aside, whether gretchen whitmer or gavin newsom or some of the others are willing to risk their long-term standing with black voters, with women's groups and others by taking on the first woman of color has been on a national ticket get i'm not sure that really happens. and as a result, i think there are a surprising number of democrats, at least that i talked to who thinks that this could coalesce around harris fairly quickly if biden steps aside and that in fact, at the least she can articulate the argument about trump and the threat to rights, values, and democracy more crisply and

effectively than biden all of which the gravity of all of which has been dramatically magnified by that supreme court decision, essentially giving him a green light to push against the boundaries of law if he's reelected right? and since you mentioned that we should play the sounds, i'm kamala harris and new orleans yesterday where she spoke at the essence festival of culture she barely mentioned biden, we should note instead her speech focused on like what you said, beating up donald trump you have the former president who is running to. >> become president again, was openly talked about his admiration of dictators and his intention to be a dictator on day one who is openly talked about his intention to weaponize the department of justice against his political enemies, who has talked about being proud of taking from the women of america a most fundamental right to make decisions about your own body

what do you, how do you see this? because she has clearly been more front and center than we have seen her for example, you have 4 july event, right? in years past, she's done her own thing with her husband, doug emhoff. this year. she was there by biden's side she she just seems to be there and more moments than we've seen and she's as you saw, they're giving these fiery speeches how do you read this well, her argument there is the argument that democrats are going to have to make to win. >> i mean, voters by a ten to 15 point margins say they trust trump more than biden or democrats on the economy? which means that there are millions of voters who have to say, yeah, i think trump is better for my wallet. but i'm going to vote against him anyway because he's a threat to my rights, my values, and to democracy itself. the soundbite you just played was the case that joe biden could not make in the debate. it was the case he could not even really make on monday night when he spoke briefly at the white house

about the supreme court decision immunizing trump form future virtually immunizing from future criminal prosecution. harris struggled to find her sea legs and this administration, but really since the dobbs decision, this has been her job. i mean, kind of prosecuting the case against the rollback of rights in red states that the supreme court has enabled and that trump has inspired and they're democrats were worried about are lots of fronts, whether she can peel, can appeal to enough working class white voters in the critical three rust belt states to keep them in play and so forth. but this is something she has shown that she can do. i mean, she's honed this argument over really two years now to the point where she i think many democrats feel that she can more effectively make the core case. they have to make against trump, then biden, can, you know, there's a lot of risk moving beyond him, but i think a lot of democrats feel like at least you would be shuffling the deck, whereas right now, sticking with him,

it looks like sticking with a hand that is very unlikely to win from brownstein. >> thank you so much operations have been out of the street tonight. they have been laughing and crying after a stunning political upset as left-wing parties score in major comeback france's parliamentary elections preventing what was expected to be a victory for the far right you're the scene and newsroom i voted buttons every little kid. >> it's like your generation has evolved past traditional political symbol both anders, room for everyone. yeah chins puke lane knows why take feeling from a backed up god near lax works naturally with the water in your body to help you go for your gut and your mood will follow for eight grams of fiber, trying mirror fiber gummies. >> the cockroach, resilient

been a fair amount of tactical voting between the two rounds. and because again, this alliance has come together successfully to keep them out of power the question now, what happens looking ahead is that we will hear from the french prime minister of his resignation tomorrow morning, and we will wait to see whether that left during alliances can name and have a appointed a prime minister. what's almost certain that this stage pam, is that we're looking ahead here and france to a period of great political deadlock. no doubt, because whatever the color of the next prime minister politically it is a prime minister who is going to have to work with him on your and my whole over the rest of his presidential term. and it is unlikely that it should be someone from his party, pan. >> all right. let's about thanks so much. and still ahead. the texas lieutenant governor warning people not to underestimate tropical storm beryl storm is strengthening back into a hurricane, and we'll make landfall in just hours from now bringing dangerous conditions where live on the texas gulf coast tonight

evacuation orders. now, this storm has defied all odds. it has been named for ten days. it was the first category five atlantic hurricane be recorded in the month of june vary significant. it's overcome wind shear all kinds of saharan dust that normally knocks down hurricanes. and it has survived and it's had a very dubious track record as well, making to landfalls and about to be the third landfall. and that's going to be the first us landfalling hurricane in the 2024 hurricane season. now, here and port lavaca, where business this is are normally inundated by tourists all along this coastline because this area is popular for people to come and visit. we're ending 4 july holiday weekend. so now businesses today have been focusing on not so much customer-facing, but protecting their business assets. and here's how they're doing. so so anyway, we're probably over

overpreparing that it's better to be safe if you're a visitor here, you need to go home. >> we love you and we're glad that you were here for this week. but it's time to go home she said, uh, so kindly listen authorities in texas are always urging people to prepare for at least one category higher than what's officially forecasts. >> so a low-end category two is not out of the realm of possibilities although the forecast track calls for category one, there are some things working toward advantage here namely that tropical storm beryl is running a time to strengthen. but there are signs that it is starting to get its act together. latest satellite and radar is showing a defined eye and this storm is approaching the coastline and feeding off of the abnormally warm gulf of mexico waters which are typical of mid-august. so that's like jet fuel for developing and strengthening storms. now, the track calls for a landfall in category one hurricane in overnight sometime between 2:00

and 5:00 a.m. local time and the potential there exists for winds in excess of 74 miles per hour, basically west of ai 45 and south of ai ten. but notice parts of houston included didn't at least tropical storm-force winds. we don't have to go that far back. remember what happened when straight-line winds damage some of the high-rise buildings there. if we get those equivalent wins, we can be a bit of recipe for disaster. now, the storm surge here has already been realized in port lavaca, where i'm located. they've up the levels from four to seven feet along the coastline here and of course, the rain and flash flood potential with anywhere from five to ten inches of rainfall possible. pam, this might be another hurricane harvey. it's going to move out quickly, but it's definitely one that's going to make people play nervous here for good reason. and as that sweet woman you had on, say, they just need to go home, everyone just needs to go home all right. derek van damme. thank you so much. the war in ukraine will top the agenda for world leaders set to meet for a nato summit in

facility that was a tech was actually a 99000 square meter, almost 100,000 square foot facility. so it was clearly a major transshipment point for the russians. and as you mentioned, it was human vote on that this attack occurred. what that means is that it's about 50 miles from the ukrainian border, close enough for the ukrainians to reach and clearly putting a lot of russia's at risk so another development to ask you about, russian troops have taken some high ground in the key ukrainian town of chasiv yar and may use that as a toehold, a gateway to bring more troops into ukraine. >> how significant is this for russia yeah, it's pretty significant pamela when you look at this, let's look first at the eastern front right here. >> so this is the town of bakhmut that fell about a year and a couple of months ago. and when you zoom into chasiv yar, this is the area right here that the russians have taken over. it's basically the

a path forward as it pertains to biden in his campaign. >> that's no longer happening. the source tells me the purpose of this private meeting with other senate democrats tomorrow was to get them on the same page about the future of president joe biden's can to see. but after it leaked out to several media outlets, including cnn, it was scrapped also tonight with just over 120 days until the presidential election, more house democrats are calling for president joe biden to step aside, but with the democratic national convention just over a month away, is there enough time to replace him joining us now to run the numbers as cnn senior data reporter harriet hi, eric, great to see you been awhile. so biden's me, the polls always have had him down. is that true? >> no. no, it's not true. i call them like i see him and the polls right now have joe biden down. i do right? the polls right now have joe biden down, but this is the worst position joe biden has ever been in right now post-debate,

what do we see? we see that donald trump is ahead of joe biden by three points. that's better job trump's doing better than he was doing in pre-debate in 2024 when he was up just a point, but compare that to where we were four years ago. it's point, joe biden was ahead by nine percentage points nationally. and in fact, if you go through out that entire 2020 campaign, every single day in a matchup between joe biden and donald trump. joe biden lead at every three single moment by at least three percentage points. so this idea that joe biden's trying to float out there, that the poles have always had them down. they've always underestimated him. the fact is the polls in 2020, at least when it came to the general election actually overestimated him. pam that's interesting. so let's talk about kamala harris, who has been rumored as the obvious replacement for biden. of course, she is the vice president and your view, according to the data you're looking at, would she do better at this stage and win the party? be enthused to unite around her she couldn't do any

worse. so i'll tell you that much. if you take a look at the average of paul's, in fact, she does slightly better than joe biden against donald trump. while joe biden is trailing trump by three points nationally and an average of paul's kamala harris has only trailing donald trump by a single point. and the reason for that is, remember we have the left part of this country democratic. we have the right part of this country republican. but elections tend to be one in the middle among independents and look at this difference among independents when you match up joe biden against donald trump and kamala harris against donald trump. donald trump leads among independents when it's against biden by four points, look at that matchup though against communist harris. in fact, kamala harris is up five points that is the big reason why harris is doing better in the overall numbers against donald trump than joe biden is. she's simply put does better with those voters in the middle. and i will note to there are far fewer voters who at this particular point have an opinion of harris, then of biden, and all of those voters? tend to have a negative opinion of joe biden. the fact is

harris simply put in my mind, can't really do any worse than biden is, given how unpopular donald trump has. and that is in my opinion why independence are flowing, flowing the harris and comparison to biden against donald trump, because the fact is biden is so unpopular amongst them. if i were a democratic donor, if i were democrats but activists, i might be willing to take a roll of the dice because at this particular point, joe biden is doing significantly worse than he's ever done against donald trump. and that is specifically a true among independent voters. all right, so if democrats decide well, it's not really up to democrats. >> if biden steps aside, right? if the pressure is too much hajj and biden just decides, you know, why i am not going to win this and he's accepted that reality. he steps aside. how unprecedented is the timeframe until the democratic convention? >> not completely unprecedented, at least in modern american politics, this feels like it's out of an ar1 shortcut novel or player play or whatever, like, can we just take a moment and take a step back? this is a really big

deal. this moment we're in and even that possibility this is insanity, this is the type of thing that someone would float to me a year ago. i'd say you're absolutely crazy. and there are so few days until the democratic national convention. i mean, look at this, compare this to the two other times that incumbents decided to drop out, 1950 to harry truman, lyndon baines johnson, 68. there was over 100 days left until the democratic prac, national convention in those years were down to 43 days in big red font on your screen. this is completely unprecedented if joe biden is going to drop out, he better do it soon. otherwise chicago, which was already shaping up to be quite an interesting convention, will turn into a complete mess. but these numbers tell you everything you did didn't know. this is completely unprecedented. we are closing in on chicago fast. so if democrats are going to make a move besides nominating joe biden, joe biden's got to make his decision. now. now. now, or at least the next couple of weeks. >> all right. so besides this timeframe, what's the biggest thing biden has on his side to

staying in the race yeah. i mean, look, it comes down to democratic voters maybe independence don't like joe biden, maybe republicans don't like joe biden, but democratic voters want you bind to stay in this race despite all of this post-debate polling saying that joe biden is trailing donald trump. if you ask democrats how they feel 58% on average say they should, he should stay and 39% should say quit. now that 39% is quite large that's historically very unusual, but that 58% is still the majority of voters. it's why when biden goes out to these democratic rallies, he still gets thunderous applause. he is still well-liked by the majority of democrats, even if there's a significant minority with this particular point, want them to get out, but this point, the democratic voters are in joe biden side and that's part of the reason why he's sticking in this race, at least for now. >> all right. harrington. thanks so much we wouldn't go back to the white house with tonight's breaking news on the hills of what we just heard from harry as well. let's go now to cnn's arlette saenz or lead any reaction tonight from the biden campaign or the white house? to these significant

developments about more defections from house democrats. will pamela so far the campaign and biden's team really aren't reacting to those house democrats who are calling for him to step aside. instead, what they are doing tonight is highlighting some of those lawmakers who are still on president biden's side that includes congresswoman joyce beatty who told our colleague eva mckend that she does not believe that house democrats should be going rogue against their own president and against their own party. that's similar to messages from another key member of the congressional black caucus, fredricka wilson, who said that people should not be trying to undermine the current leadership here at the white house. it kind of speaks to some of the complicated dynamics within the democratic party about the path forward for president biden and president biden fully believes himself that the democratic party is behind him, but you have started to see many cracks or merge when it comes to that as support for the president is especially after this new

significant reporting from cnn today, that in that private phone call with house minority leader hakeem jeffries a several top house democratic leaders said that they do believe it is time for president biden to step aside. sources have told us that there were at least six top house deputy for crowds who spoke up in this call in favor of the president exiting the 2024 race. that includes consequential ranking members on key committees like jerry nadler and adam smith also susan wild who is a frontline member in pennsylvania, but sources have also told cnn that there were some people on that call who spoke up, such as two other members of the congressional black caucus, maxine waters and bobby scott. but sources said that the number of people calling for president biden to step aside at this time outweighed those who spoke up in favor of the president. remaining in this race at all, really presents a major challenge for president biden is especially as he is now back in washington and congress is also set to return

here this week, putting many democratic lawmakers in front of reporters and also the potentially for these lawmakers to meet together to talk things out. i think you reported just moments ago that senator mark warner had initially hoped to assemble a meeting of senate democrats to discuss the future of biden's candidacy. but now, as you've noted, that now is being pulled down that meeting after it had leaked out into the media. so far, you really haven't heard any senate democrats public, publicly called for president biden to step aside from this race that could always change in the days to come, but certainly president biden now facing even more pressure from within his own party, even as there are some who want to see him stay through this race. so you have democratic senator chris murphy, who was on earlier with my colleague dana bash, and he said, this coming week will be critical for president biden. i've i've heard that good for mothers. he offered this advice. let's take a listen voters do have questions and

personally, i love joe biden. >> i don't know that the interview on friday night, did enough to answer those questions. and so i think this week is going to be absolutely critical. i think the president needs to do more so we know today biden's around that himself at some of his strongest supporters in pennsylvania do we have any sense of the biden campaign's plan this coming week, does it does it align it all with what? >> senator murphy is calling for? well, senator murphy said that he doesn't want to see things be business as usual for president biden that he thinks he needs to be more active in trying to convince americans that he is up for a second term in office. now, i will note president biden is back here in washington a lot of his weak here in dc will focus on the nato summit. they are set to assemble leaders from all around the world to talk about major foreign policy issues. key among them, being russia's war against ukraine. so that will take up a lot of president biden's attention here in washington this week, but his campaign is already planning

battleground state travel. he will be traveling to michigan. i'm told on friday and then the nevada at the beginning of the next week during the wilder republican national convention is playing out. but one thing that you hear from prison it's murphy, you hear from other top allies like senator chris coons, they want to see president biden engage in these more unscripted impromptu moments, holding things like town halls and press conferences biden will hold a press conference with reporters on thursday and today at at least two of his events, he was talking without a teleprompter, walking around the room. so you are seeing some changes being made as he's getting this advice from his allies all right, are left times thanks so much. we'll be right back five good things. listen wherever you get your podcasts at for fisher investments, we may look like other money managers, but we're different. you can't be that different. >> we are we have a team of specialists, not only in investing, but also in financial and estate planning. and more, your clients rely on

mic carver was in his mid-sixties when he was diagnosed with early onset alzheimer's disease now he's in his early 70s and his living a pretty normal life what would have happened him before is that he would have likely been told there's not much we can do. maybe we can slow down the progression but there's really no hope for potentially reversing the signs of cognitive impairment but in fact, that's what happened for him and he can take a look, pamela, at what the clinical trial entailed. it was a vegan diet. it is exercised daily. it is strength training three times a week, stress relief. these groups support sessions for some people that sounds like a lot. but also very doable for someone like my carver. and i think what was most remarkable pamela, was that within five months, you saw these changes. it just speaks to how biodynamic the body in the brain can really be these changes can happen and they can happen quickly at the same time, pamela, we also hear about new medications that are being made available. did nauta

mab was approved by the fda. if you want to look at how well that works, and it was about a 29% slowing down of cognitive and functional decline but there were also side effects people had these brain bleeds more likely to happen in the denom ab group versus the placebo group. and then the cost of these drugs astronomical. pamela, we spent $4 as a country every year on health care those price tags that you see on the screen, there obviously just going to add to that and again, i think it's why when we talk about these lifestyle changes, we've seen what they can do for heart disease we're now getting an idea of what these lifestyle changes can do for brain disease as well, such as alzheimer's and about 40% probably of alzheimer's cases according to these big trials around the world, 40% is preventable. these are big numbers worth paying attention to. and that's why we're so excited about this documentary
