ukraine, one way or another. >> i'll ask the former swedish prime minister carl bildt for his reaction also it's who is j.d. >> vance of perhaps the better question is who he was before he became maga man, i'm a never trump guy. i never liked him. >> and david frum worked with vance more than a decade ago and he will tell us about the potential vp's intellectual one at and following the stunning assassination attempt on donald trump in pennsylvania news broke this week of another alleged plot to assassinate the former president. this time, an iranian plant i sat down with that country's acting foreign minister to present on that there was whether the one gaza will expand but first, here's my take the democratic party is

clearly in a crisis. if it stays with president biden as its nominee, it is likely sleepwalking into a humiliating defeat in november that could go well beyond the presidency and yet changing candidates at this point seems a risky strategy that could easily go awry. is there a way out it will be difficult given how modern political parties in the u.s are structured but if handled right, the current crisis could be an important opportunity for democrats to rebuild themselves for this election. and beyond ever since the presidential debate many have wondered why the democratic party would not get president biden to step down as its presidential nominee. the problem is that there really isn't a democratic party anymore, not in the sense of an organization that can make a decision like that. in america, parties are shelves in which political entrepreneurs operate

at will in almost all other democracies political parties still function as powerful organizations with the authority to choose or replace candidates for the top job generally based on their electability in britain, the labor party replaced jeremy corbyn with the more electable keir starmer and the tories shows several new leaders over the last six years australia's labour party did it in 2010, as it's then leaders popularity was plummeting in fact, in most democracies, the main role of political parties is to choose their candidates and platforms through some internal process. and then present them to the broader public in elections. in the u.s. however, amidst the fiery radicalism of the late 1960s and early 70s, parties gave up that central power, handing it over to primaries the result is that in america power move from party leaders to party activists before

primary is dominated, the people who determined whether the candidate was suitable for election, the delegates to the convention included many current or former elected officials from mayors to senators, to governors these were people who had experience in running for general elections, in attracting mainstream support and in actually governing now those who decided a small number of primary voters often more ideologically extreme than the average voter and for whom ideological fealty is more important than electability this hollowed parties out, leaving them without the capacity to shape themselves. that's why donald trump could so easily take over the republican party. and essentially turn it into a family cult. to understand how complete the transformation is noticed that besides trump, not a single former nominee of the republican party for president or vice president, even

attended the republican national convention. while the former president's family occupies center stage and prime time the tragic situation facing the democrats with joe biden is that he was a strong candidate against donald trump in 2020. and he has been an excellent president. with major accomplishments in both domestic and foreign policy his manner and tone have been dignified, decent, and empathic. but for months now, it's been clear that this would not be enough in early may, i pointed out that polls have biden headed for loss, and that the key number to look at was the question of who voters felt was more competent in 2020, biden led trump by nine points. earlier this year, trump led biden by 16 points, a 25 point shift this is obviously a reflection of people's sense that biden was just too old for the job. a perception he could not change.

and that was before the debate. the congressional leaders of the democratic party, chuck schumer, hakeem, jeffries, nancy pelosi seem to be taking the responsibility seriously and have been privately urging biden to withdraw from the race or maneuvering to force his hand one can only hope they will persist and be able to make biden see that he still has the chance to go down as a successful president who in the end knew that he could serve his country better by doing that rare thing. stepping aside rather than clinging on in doing this. >> however, the democratic party can also shift the balance of power over the last few years. the party's image has been colored by some of its more extreme and ideal article elements. those active in primaries and on twitter and even smaller minority on issues like immigration, crime identity, politics, campus culture, and transgender rights it lost sight of the american

mainstream as rob henderson rights democrats espouse too many luxury values. ideas that confer status on educated elites, but are often deeply at odds with the working classes way of life changing candidates for november could be the beginning of a broader reset party leaders should reform the primary system to balance the power of the activists, minority with the more mainstream majority. more superdelegates with the freedom to vote as they wish, would be one important step the message of the democratic party should be shaped by its governors, senators, and mirrors, not activists and academics the next few weeks could begin to shift. that would make the democratic party more attractive to more americans for decades go to cnn.com slash fareed for a link to my washington post column this week. and let's get started

with less than four months to go to the us presidential elections, many american allies fear or return to donald trump's america first foreign policy and now his choice of running mate, ohio senator j.d. vance has only exacerbated that concern just look, advances record on ukraine. he voted against a $60 billion aid package for the war-torn nation and said this just steve bannon i don't really care what happens to ukraine one way or the other well, europe cares deeply about ukraine in part because leaders, they wonder where putin would invade next if its aggressions are left unchecked joining me now is carl bildt, the former prime minister of sweden carl you must have expected j.d vance's speech because you were in munich at the security forum

where he gave an equally fiery kind of isolation is speech to europe what do you what do you make of it now that he is a potential vice president there's no question that there are a lot of people around you are worried and concerned by the prospect of his policies being the policies of trump's administration there were sufficient horrors with trump himself has to be said in munich and afterward, zero to peace in new times, we was an effort by him to give reason for his use his main reason why one shouldn't care about ukraine was that russia was able to produce more ammunition than ukraine. >> russia is bigger than ukraine. >> that's an offered arguments because that's an argument that would give a green light to russia invading a smaller country needs an agreed lied to every other country. >> of sufficient sdue go

berserk with international order dope, deep worries. >> yeah, it really is almost a kind of recitation of that line into cities melian dialogue, the strong do what they can and the weak suffer, what they must. but that was always seen as a kind of warning of the jungle of real politic. we don't want to descend into tell me what you think practically this could mean because, you know what a number of senior leaders in europe have told me. they don't expect that trump would formally pull out of nato or anything like that. but it's that rhetoric like, like his advances will undermine resolve in europe and booster resolve in the kremlin we leave nato while most people think that that is unlikely. but there is a lot of discussions about what it called a doorman nato that us days but doesn't do anything and doesn't provide, provide that are the backbone bone of political whale that has been

very important during the biden administration europe united i think you should note that the very first decision taken by a very first act as matter of fact, of the european parliament, new elected of the sudden, wants to take a very strong and with very wide majority resolution supporting ukraine and i think they took that resolution also against the background of what's happening in the u.s is it possible that europe can step up and it's already europe is now, i think in total, spending more on ukraine than the united states. >> but could it do more as a result of this? >> well, as you say, europe is bending substantially more, but in my opinion and opinion very rare now this year we're has to do more primarily on the financial side, but the u.s. has been very important primarily on the military side and it will be difficult to replace some of them the things that us has been helping with

but you are right. and i was going to be a lot of discussion about that of europe having to step up even further in there, even more in the years to come, he respectively of trump, i would have to say by meanwhile, the fate of ukraine is in the balance. what do you think happens there if american aid dries up with american resolve dries up, we'll putin look for a negotiated deal. >> well, i think if i tried to read the tea leaves and that's everything we can do when it comes to moscow. it looks like they are going to have increasing difficulties with their supply of war material of different sorts putin has taken the word ceasefire in his mouth but he has conditions to that the bounced are virtual ukraine's surrender at the same time as he has taken the word ceasefire in its mouth, although an acceptable one he sent out medved. you have to say that they should aim at getting rid of ukraine

completely by 2000, 2035 all right so a ceasefire for putin probably means pause and replenish and hardly peace that i think is the reality of the situation that we are facing with the russian aggression and its future carl bildt, always a pleasure to talk to you. thank you, sir thank you next, how j.d. vance go from a never trump republican to a maga darling i've talked, to someone who knew him before and during his radical transformation for this guy you're talking about? the revolution just you know, that 80% of people have subscriptions. >> they forgot about. >> oh, that's dumb. i keep track of my subscriptions in spreadsheets and i always get it right. >> we'll see about that. all right. so i just don't iraq

maga went in when you set this up and when when vance talk to you was did he seem kind of homely board into your project? >> it said on the mascot economically inclusive, culturally modern environmentally responsible, and everyone who wrote to me or came to find me knew that that's what the sight was about. >> jd wrote about a dozen articles under a pseudonym and we all thought this was a man who was going to be a leader, probably a future national leader and then there's this moment, this is before the 2016 election, and we forget everyone assumed that trump would lose that election. >> but he wins very narrowly. >> and then you were in meetings with vance and his his stance, you say was to hold up a kind of anti-trump opposition within the conservative movement. >> and the republican party, correct? >> well you could see, him his thinking shift, jd convened a meeting in washington to ask

was there any way we could build anything positive out of this seeming debacle for our kind of republicanism he was already beginning to think about adapting to the new realities. but that the people in that room where who came from this reform tradition of the republican party still up to him as a leader of that reform movement. over the next year-and-a-half. that's when he decided, you know what, there was no there was no percentage in the reform and instead, he was going to go forward with altered trumpism beyond and beyond. >> he says in the book, you know, people the people in appalachia shouldn't be blaming others. they need to become take personal responsibility. he points out, i mean, the heroic role that the two institutions split the bail him out of his misery are the marines an ohio state, both government institutions and yet now he rails against government. do you think he secretly still believes the kind of thoughtful stuff he was

writing how do a little mind reading for us? >> i think very few people are capable of conscious hypocrisy. that is saying one thing while taking another, the thoughts and the words come into alignment sooner or later, i think something that has happened and you can see it in some of his more offbeat interviews with people like steve bannon, is he really did fall deep into the pit of the in line. ultra ideological, ultra intellectual, far right with doubts about american democracy. i mean, it was very strange in his speech at the republican convention how much he insisted on the idea that america was not a set of ideas now, why would you go out of your way to dispute that? that's a pretty standard piece of campaign rhetoric it doesn't seem like something worth arguing about at a national convention when you could be talking about things that voters really care about. but he's obviously important to him. >> i was struck by the very thing you talk about how he wanted to dispute the idea that

america, he said as at everyone point what makes america special is not these ideas, but rather the fact that we are a nation. we have a homeland. and of course, i thought that that got it exactly backward. every nation has a homeland, every nation has a political history of people living in the same place. what makes america unique is that in addition to that, it has these funding ideals that can appeal to everybody that can appeal to the world. and has that generosity of vision as a result at the heyday of american self-confidence, at the republican convention in 1998, 1988, when george w bush, h w bush accepted the republican nomination on the brink of winning the cold war on the brink of polling. >> so many countries into the american lead world system hw bush said, america is not just another country on the roster from afghanistan to zimbabwe. it is something special and that is something that american politicians have always insisted upon. and that has given meaning to this.

otherwise ungovernable and hugely disparate country but that is a thing that he took time to attack when he could have been talking about. for example, he's got some vulnerabilities on his extreme views on abortion. he could have talked a little bit about his attitudes toward, toward women and found, found ways to make those more included. it's a found ways to tell the story of his own life and related in a way that sarah palin's so effectively did in 2008, if you compare this speech that he gave to sarah palin's, is remarkable how much less good it was. it was less good because he would not relinquish his odd ideas in favor of a more general appeal. this is very much she about his, his personal sense of mission. you don't get to the vice presidency and beyond without sense of mission. but the question we all have to ask you is, what is in it for the rest of the country. and the message that was delivered by him, and that has been delivered by this convention was very much a for part of the country and not the whole of the country. >> david frum, always a

pleasure thank you next on gps, last week's horrific shooting in pennsylvania, apparently wasn't the only scheme to kill donald trump cnn reported this week that the u.s. had identified another alleged plot to assassinate the former president. this time by iran, i ask that country's farmers let's talk about this that's next you, its hard to watch yourself we pulled out of the building a tornado power outages can be unpredictable inconvenience, and disruptive to your life. >> losing a real threat to your family's comfort and safety when the power goes out? you have no lights, no refrigeration, no heating or air conditioning, or not letting up at all here, we're going to see some power outages. number one thing to prepare for extended power outages are you? >> prepared? you can be with a

from his predecessor, the far more hard line president and cleric ebrahim raisi, who died in a helicopter crash in may but it's also worth noting that he runs presidency often has had little influence in a regime where the supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, who holds ultimate power earlier this week, i spoke to acting foreign minister, ali bagheri kani about the islamic republic and its relations with the world mr. foreign minister, thank you for coming on the show. >> my first question to you is relating to the news that cnn has broken about information that the us government received. >> the national security council and passed on to the secret service of a plot an iranian plot to assassinate the former president donald trump in retaliation for the assassination of qasem

soleimani, the senior iranian general that happened during the trump administration what can you tell us about this i can we do need, as you know? >> yes. >> this gnomic republic of iran that off immediately following the assassination of general soleimani, more zoo pages year, who will either try to traditionally and legally followed these assassination ham go higher, darker, iranian course and at the same time, we have tried to make use of the international judicial and legal procedures in order to prosecute the perpetrators. i'm able and can advisors who helped these assassination accordingly, the islamic republic of iran will make use of all legal potentials inside the country or at the

international level? in order to roll. aid in, to bring the perpetrators to the justice let me just be sure i am i understand what you're saying or you categorically denying that iran had any plans or any element of iran, the revolutionary guard, and iranian backed militia had any plans to try to assassinate donald trump a man how to give us omar assad had, as i put it, very blatantly, openly charge overhaul that i told you explicitly that we would resort to legal and judicial procedures and frameworks at the domestic level and international level in order to bring the perpetrators and military advisers of general soleimani this nation to justice. >> but that means not, not

violent measures. when you say legal and judicial measures, you are talking about international courts and things like mom, i'm just get as cannon as i told you, we will only resort to hear dr. leah for them iranian, and international legal and judicial procedures. by until now, we have done it, and this is our right. and of course we will continue along and the americans openly said that fire monday, arlian as aumy, you don't whatever care that, that they assassinated the senior iranian military commander so it is our natural right in order to follow this issue and those who are dark accused in these case, they should be brought to justice in a just court. >> i noticed that you have talked about the possibility of nuclear negotiations and even moving towards some kind of new two nuclear deal or return to the deal but i want to first ask you iranian officials for

many years have been very clear that iran does not want to acquire nuclear weapons. that there is a religious fatwa from khamenei and come any against nuclear weapons. they don't say that much anymore. can you tell us? >> our is the development of nuclear weapons according to iran a haram is it, has, it been, has it been ruled out as a possibility by imam khomeini and the current supreme leader, ali khamenei man vahisha ciliate that iran, that neither i nor anyone else have not talked about in real agreement back in 2015, we conclude it an agreement, iran by iran, japan job aloe, and five plus one, it was finalized as in town. >> it was the us who we drove from the deal estrada that walk

why i say who commands loss is binding for all members in the country. >> we cannot violate it let me ask you about what is going on in gaza and in israel right now? >> the war continues. but could it expand? what i'm trying to get it as hezbollah has actually been quite restrained so far in israel has been restrained on that frank is there a danger that that escalates model manager who yes. >> we as this gnomic republicans, iran never see the tarnish. welcome expansion of tensions in the region. we do not welcome expansion expansion, spill over tensions out of gaza amara, we will never did in sagaing, he star has, but these are designers or hall on different occasions have threatened lebanon ben and as assumes that zionists failure and defeats persuade dad was about to expand.

minister of digital affairs and recently co-authored the book plurality i've always told what you do is so critical because in the china, taiwan tussle, i think invasion is, you know, obviously the terrible scenario, but also ghanima, an unlikely scenario exactly the most likely scenarios are all kinds of other pressure to tell me first how much of that do you already see? china using various tools to pressure taiwan i mean the height of which we have seen in 2022, august when speaker pelosi visited taiwan. >> there was a hybrid coordinated cyber attack polarization attacks, denial of service, and so on. and there's also drills. but i think the goal is to make us pay penick to make this stock market crash to push this idea that democracy only leads to chaos and never delivers. >> so you mentioned cyberdyne,

you mentioned polarization attack. what's that? yeah. >> so polarization attack is disseminating the most extreme parts of the views. for example, there was sidebars outside train stations, and these were hacked into and replaced with hateful messages written as simplified chinese against pelosi and so on. and of course then you see that there's rumors saying they've taken over this ministry, that ministry. and when you try to connect to those ministries website is very slow. you can't connect to it it feels this vacuum the information, denial of service, which is china able to cut off the internet in taiwan? >> so a year or so ago, there was two subsea cables connecting much so and taiwan are two islands within one week, there were two vessels, one fishing, one cargo, exit dentally, dropping the anchor exit dentally destroying those subsea cables. suppose flying the prc flag that they say there accidentally, but we know

doubts once these slides that were cuts, then mazzulla is without broadband internet. of course, we very quickly respond to it was microwave with a satellite internet thank starlink, except we used oneweb and ses. and so one we restore the service, but we do see that it is actually possible to destroy the subsea cables. >> and what about a physical blocking seem to me after the pelosi visit, one of the things that i knees military was practicing was not so much an invasion, but a blockade yeah. >> so usually i mean, the tactics, whether it's communications or whether it's physical kinetic. as you said blockades, it is usually to signify like before a election or something that there are candidates they prefer and there are candidates they don't prefer, except this january, i don't think any of these tactics worked first of all, all three candidates said that they don't like to hong kong model and also the polarization attacks, the ai deepfakes wherever we do see some of that, but they did not impact the election data. much is it possible that these

attacks, this whole strategy of china's is backfiring in creating greater resistance to china and a greater desire to never have to embrace something like a hong kong just the fact that we're having this conversation right now shows stats the world really cares about taiwan and not just for the chips or the hypothetico 10% gdp laws. if something happens to taiwan, but also the fact that we have a democracy that is working really well. so it's stands as a example of how democracy can advance over authoritarianism in not just countering the pandemic, but also against polarization in for them against the one its worst lie hi, to care about taiwan giorgio, the former foreign minister of singapore says, maybe there's some solution which is sort of like the commonwealth a group that both china and taiwan can be a kind of a confederation where the chinese don't have any beijing doesn't have any control over taiwan.

>> but there is a kind of recognition that make both can mutual recognition between democracy yeah. >> well, there wouldn't be a democracy, but there would be no, but look at what happened to hong kong so i don't think it's taiwan moving away from authoritarianism. i mean, we've always been committing on democracy. and so we didn't change our trenches. that's what you need disinformation change that's exactly the case pleasure to have you on what we will be back what is circled circle is what you hope for. lying, tosses limited way circle. the drone forced to treat this week, you could conference circle is the effortless entity that gets you in the zone available at walmart to drink? pulled.com, it is real. okay. take a picture congratulations. >> thank you so much i lost 50 pounds, engaged $1,900. get

come to you 808 to 14000 record breaking temperatures have been wreaking havoc around the globe with the month of june being the hottest ever since 18, 50 when global record keeping began here in the united states, over 150 million people were under heat alerts this week the new york times reports that surface temperatures in parts of phoenix reached over one hundred and 50 degrees fahrenheit when i was in aspen recently, i spoke with jane gilbert, the first person in the world to hold the title of chief heat officer jane was appointed to that job by miami-dade county in 2021 miami is considered ground zero for the climate crisis in this country jin pleasure to have you on pleasure to be here. what does it mean? what is your job? >> so when i was appointed by our mayor, she charged me with

addressing the increasing health risks and economic burdens associated with rising temperatures with extreme heat in particular, so the first thing i had to do was really understand what what's the nature of the problem, who and where are people most at risk? and so we looked at emergency department visits, heat heat-related emergency department visits in hospitalizations by zip code in the county and we found a very big disparity. some zip codes with four times the rates of heat-related illnesses than others. and the top correlating factors was low income, high percentage of outdoor workers and urban heat islands, high land surface temperatures. in other words, areas with low tree canopy, a lot of pavement what a waste team from buildings and cars, these neighborhoods can be ten degrees hotter than other neighborhoods in our county and so this is where people are most at risk. and that's really helped me and responding, it's

just people are having a hard time staying cool at home, either they don't have adequate pooling or they can't afford it anymore there may be exposed at work. we have over 300,000 workers that work outside every day in the county. >> if you're outdoor worker, you're one of those 300,000 yeah. they seem to me the most at risk and there's the least you can do about it because they have to work in the farms and construction, whatever it is. what should they do? >> so they should know that hydration and taking strategic rest breaks in a cool area and then getting back out there and we're working. can really preserve their health, but also the productivity it feels to me like there are a lot of cities in the country that they should be doing this. so you or appointed by the mayor, are you getting support from the federal government? and are you getting support from your governor, ron desantis, who has not been the greatest proponent

of, anti-climate change measures in the federal government. >> absolutely. the biden administration with the inflation reduction act has been a leader in investing in not only helping communities adapt to the changes that were already experienced, but also getting at the root problem out about ron desantis. so ron desantis has been a mixed bag. he's definitely supported local governments with coastal resilience and stormwater management investments is it comes to heat management and mitigation that has not been something that his administration has addressed, at least not yet so there are mayors around the country, around the world who are facing these challenges. >> what is your message to them? >> i think every mayor's should have a study done to really understand the vulnerability that population who and where people most at risk and it at least look enough to what is the plan they

need to create barriers or so much on the front lines of the problems that we're facing, but they're also the frontlines of solution, particularly when it comes to how do we adapt to the changes that are already happening and are going to continue to happen in years to come jane pleasure to have you. thank you. >> stay cool you to and that's it. >> thanks to all of you for being part of my program this week, i will see you next week no i don't. >> the whole story, political violence has always threatened our democracy after the attempt on trump's life. where does america go from here? the whole story with anderson cooper, political violence america as bloody history tonight at ten on cnn i tried a bunch of different probiotics before seed and they didn't help it addressed my bloating and my irregularity it's really helping my daily bowel movements and keeping me a

of life insurance on a fixed budget our price price, and price a price you can afford up for election. i want to go straight to cnn white house correspondent priscilla alvarez, who is traveling with president biden in rehoboth beach, delaware. priscilla, what are you learning? thank alex, this is a remarkable development and it comes after a morning in which we heard more calls for the president to step down from members of his party including, for example, senator joe manchin. >> now the president in this letter released only moments ago, walks through his accomplishments as president. and also if i can read you this part, it says it has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president. he goes on to say, while it has been my intention to seek reelection, i believe it is in the best interests of my party and the country for me to stand down into focus solely on filling my duties as president for the remainder of my term, he goes on to say he plans to speak to the nation later this

week. he also thinks vice president kamala harris for being an extraordinary partner and all of this work now of course, alex, this comes after that disastrous debate, performance by the president in late june. it was after that that stoked so much anxiety and panic within the democratic party and lead to a wave of calls over recent weeks for the president to step aside to withdraw from this race. and this was something that despite the president getting back on the campaign trail, despite private conversations with multiple law lawmakers. >> and despite a campaign that up until this point had maintained even just yesterday, that he was in this race. >> it appears that we hit that breaking point now, of course, the president has been at his residence here in rehoboth beach, delaware. he has been self-isolating because he was diagnosed with covid earlier in the week. it was that diagnosis that pulled him off of the campaign trail at a pivotal

moment, he was in nevada the shoring up support with black and latino voters and it was before one of his last events that he got that positive covid diagnosis and had to be blitz back here to the east coast, to delaware where he has since been self-isolating. it has been during that not time, but he's also been deliberating. he is with his closest advisers and his inner circle. and what has been a challenging and at times frustrating time for this campaign. now, we should also note alex, that earlier today on the airwaves, the president's allies war saying that he was in it to win it again, this was the resounding message that we were getting from the campaign time and time again. but this letter tells us that the president, upon self-reflection, upon all of the calls from democratic lawmakers, allies, and donors for him to step aside, has listened to those calls and has decided to not seek reelection in what we really just cannot
