4:00 pm
balance all of this i think it'd be okay, you know, the economy is very resilient. it's, it's really been quite strong than 4.3% of employment race very good the key to keeping out of recession is consumers keep spending a particularly middle and high-income consumers that do most of the spending, know when you think about it, they're doing quite well. they have a job their wages are rising faster than inflation. they've got any dead, it's a mortgage loan and they locked in low interest rate the stock market was down on friday, but it's up an awful lot over the past several years, so much wealthier most people going home two-thirds of americans own their own home. they're sitting pretty because their house prices are up. so you kind of mix that all up and look that you say consumers are going to hang tough to hang tough, economy will be just fine despite the mistakes and judgment i think that that is made i think we should be good. but having said all of that, the fed's got to start cutting interest rates
4:01 pm
>> and start moving here quickly. >> i will see how that all unfolds for governor tim walz will be one of the finalists. if harris interviews tomorrow as the campaign renews, its focus on quote competence, chemistry, and core values. his living you governor josh shapiro remaining a favorite as the campaign weighs, whether he can help deliver a democratic victory in his critical battleground state seat and senior reporter, isaac dovere joining us now, isaac good to see you. this campaign has been moving very quickly. it's had to, in this very
4:02 pm
unconventional way that it is come to be we know harris is tonight meeting with her vetting team, going through all of these reports what are your sources telling you about her mindset as she enters these final hours of choosing a running mate well, look, jessica, let's remember, first of all, that two weeks ago right now, joe biden was still in the race. >> kamala harris was running mate. this is and that itself is having a determinative effect on what's going on. there's a piece up on our site right now that i wear write that leaps of faith or not, kamala harris style, but she is going to have to make one at least are certain extent in this decision. she's lincoln who can help her when she's thinking about a governing partner. just thinking about what kind of rapport shall have with the person but all of that needs to be done along with all the vetting about all the past business transactions, all the personal affairs, anything that they've ever done in their lives, all in a period of just a couple of days here, right? >> in maybe one or two meetings that harris herself will have with the final picks.
4:03 pm
>> and importantly, she does not know any of the picks that well, and one that she does know the has spent the most time with pete to judge that relationship has been a little troubled over the years, but it's gotten a lot better lately. she's having to do this all very quickly and figure out where she is and isaac, you've also reported that one thing they really are keeping an eye on and and are focused on no surprises. they want to keep this honeymoon going on. as long as possible. and yet, this vet something that typically can take months it takes even just get all the information gathered to have somebody go through it, et cetera, et cetera, has really been compressed. so they really are to your to your point, trying to she really has to take a leap of faith here. >> yeah. look, this is not something that ever is done over two-week period and even for the people who have been trying to put together the documents on the side of the potential running mates that takes a long time, go get all your financial records. so the last ten years or 20 years, or
4:04 pm
30 years, see how quickly you can do it? that's. just, one piece of it. it's a lot of the information that needs to be compiled quickly, gone through quickly trying to not have anything that blows up on them. there's a feeling that if you look at jd vance's rollout in some of the trouble that he's had on the republican side, that is the kind of thing. it sort of best-case scenario when not enough has done. but obviously we've seen in the past sometimes when running mates you picked that there can be bigger things that aren't caught in the vetting process. that's why usually this is a fine tooth comb that they go through months of questions of interviewing lots of people than anybody who has ever had any contact with the potential running mates that is not what they have. option of doing here isaac, i also want to ask you about some new reporting cnn has about harris's husband, second gentleman, doug emhoff after a tabloid report of an affair during his first marriage, what is he saying? >> in response to that?
4:05 pm
>> yeah, that's right, jessica, a statement first to me from doug emhoff, the second gentleman earlier today, he said, during my first marriage, kirsten, that's his first wife and i went through some tough times on account of my actions. i took responsibility and in the year since we've worked through things as a family and have come out stronger on the other side, then at his following, as you say, this tabloid reported in the daily mail that there was an affair that doug emhoff had with a teacher who at the time was the teacher at the school where his daughter, ella was attending when she was a child, she's an adult now but the ex-wife, kerstin emhoff who has been very supportive of both emhoff and harris as through the years and including the last two weeks since harris has been running for president, put out a statement as well to me, doug and i decided to end our marriage for a variety of reasons. many years ago he is a great father to our kids continues to be a great friend to me and i'm really the proud of the warm and supportive blended family, doug kamel and
4:06 pm
i have all built together now, it's important to note here, jessica, that i am told that this was a factor that was both known to kamala harris before they got married at the affair happened years before they started dating and also that it was known to the biden vetting committee four years ago when they were considering harris for the nomination as running mate, obviously, they picked her part of the thinking that seems to have gone on here is that this is not related to kamala harris. this is something that happened with doug emhoff in his first marriage years before kamala harris was in the picture for him? >> all right. isaac dovere with his latest reporting as we close in on these final hours before vice president harris picks her running mate. thank you so much for that, isaac. we appreciate it while harris focuses on choosing a running mate, her republican challenger, former president donald trump, is campaigning in atlanta, where moments ago he attacked georgia's republican governor brian kemp kept notably, not supporting trump
4:07 pm
under these kinds of woke radical left policies, atlanta is like a killing field and you've governor or to get off his and do something about it all right let's go straight to cnn's alayna treene, who is there at the rally. the president is still speaking behind you. alayna. >> we listened to some of his message last hour. >> what more can you tell us about what he's saying tonight but i'm not well, this is a classic donald trump but speech you, jessica, very reminiscent of 2016, and his old playbook, he's attacking his political enemies he's using very aggressive rhetoric to go after kamala harris. >> he's also attacking president joe biden. i do want to mention, as you noted, that he just spent the last several minutes going after georgia governor brian kemp, a republican campus actually said that even though he didn't support donald trump in the primary, he would vote for him in november, but donald trump is really trying to eviscerate it am on stage right now. he's
4:08 pm
also been attacking georgia secretary of state, brad raffensberger again, noteworthy because both of them have been very involved in the georgia election case involving donald trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. but i want to go back to the main parts of his speech, which is where he's really trying to define kamala harris, something we know from our reporting and from my conversations with several of donald trump's senior advisors that they have struggled to do so far. they are trying to workshop the best lines of attack against and we have heard some new ones here tonight. take a listen to some of what he said. i want to point out those first sound you're going to hear is about the prisoner swap. and then he goes back into attacking harris. take a listen like to congratulate vladimir putin for having made yet another great deal. you just see the deal with matt now look, we want to get people in you know, we got 59 hostages. i never paid anything they released some of the greatest killers anywhere
4:09 pm
in the world. >> well some of the most evil killers they got and we got our people back. >> but boy, we make some horrible, horrible deals and it's nice to say we got them back. but does that set a bad precedent you have a candidate who is fake, fake, fake? on the other hand, you have a president who will fight, fight, fight we can never repay you know, jessica, like i said, i mean, both of those two different bytes, there are very reminiscent of the old donald trump and the donald trump. >> we all know very well he was praising and congratulating russian prison there's an inflammatory or putin for what he said was a good deal. or actually a great deal for russia. and i just want to be here clear here we know that donald trump, when he was president, while he was in the white house, he engaged in several prisoner swaps himself many of which included releasing prisoners from the u.s. including a 2019 deal,
4:10 pm
releasing some prisoners back to afghanistan. members of the taliban but then the second part of that that you heard was him going after harris as a phony and that is something i am told is going to continue to be a crucial line for him as they look ahead. where to november of trying to paint harris as someone who is fake. he also used the exact word phony when talking about her own rally in this exact same venue? earlier this week, where she had some entertainers including megan, thee stallion perform at that event, donald trump said he didn't like that. he dismissed the singer's and argue that the whole event was phony. he then went on to argue that. it reminded him of hillary clinton having bruce springsteen performed for her back in the leadup to 2016, and he then went on to say that he doesn't like people who don't like him and again, trying to really frame harris, compare her to clinton tried to tie her to people that he knows his base. do not like. and so i think
4:11 pm
we're still listening to what he says, but this speech has kind of been all over the place. strata talk about policy. he veers off script. he's been riffing and a really is kind of the classic donald trump that we've come to know it just, just quickly. >> i do want to ask you about him backing out of that plan debate with vice president harris that was set to take place next month. he wants he doesn't want to do that when he wants to set terms for a new debate. on fox news. what more are you learning because well, it's very unclear whether or not we're actually going to see trump and harris debate because they have not come to agreement as of today, it is very clear that they are in two very different pages when it comes so this debate, trump has said that he has agreed to a september 4th fox news debate and pennsylvania that is not something that the harris campaign has agreed to. >> and he said, if harris does not go to that debate than he has no plans to debate her at all on harris as part. however, she said she's still sticking by that september 10, and to abc news debate that donald
4:12 pm
trump himself had previously agreed to when he was still debating are facing off, i should say, against president joe biden but from my conversations with trump's team, they're argument is that they had an agreement to debate biden for that and that they no longer have an obligation given that biden has ended his campaign, all of this though, has now been turned into a way to attack there opposing candidate. we've seen donald trump tried to claim that harris is afraid to debate him. harris claiming that donald trump has his line of anytime any place, anywhere doesn't apply to her because he's afraid of her. so we really are seeing this become nasty and it's very unclear whether or not we'll actually have a resolution and get a debate that i know millions of americans are eager to have before they start casting their votes as early as mid september, jessica alayna treene in atlanta, georgia. thank you so much for that reporting. we're going to continue to monitor the former president's remarks down there tonight. also this evening, we
4:13 pm
have breaking news, hurricane warnings now in place for parts of florida's gulf coast as the newly named tropical storm debby heads toward land. meteorologist elisa rafah in the cnn weather center with the latest we've had some developments. lisa, since we last saw you yeah continuing to watch this tropical storm that is now sitting just off the coast of cuba as it emerges over water that's why it's getting a little bit more organized, sitting over some very warm water we have had some bands of tropical storm force conditions lashing the keys all day. here are those new warnings you see that big red area that's where we are you've got hurricane warnings in effect for that big bend of florida tropical storm warnings stretch from tampa down to the keys as the storm kind of rides the west coast of florida as it starts to move in though it's gotten really nothing in its way to slow it down wind shear won't have any of that that would kill the hurricane. we don't have that. we do have incredible we warm ocean temperatures, ocean temperature is below 80 degrees would weaken a tropical system. we have ocean temperatures in the
4:14 pm
low 90s, so incredibly warm your record warm ocean temperatures that will fuel some of that intensification. with the uptick in intensity, we are increasing the storm surge forecast, looking at some four to seven feet of storm surge in that big bend of florida near cedar key. as you get down towards tampa bay, two to four feet of storm surge, 123 in southwest florida, it looks like it makes that turn again, could make landfall as a category one hurricane as we go into monday morning and then locate what happens to the rest of the track. a big bubble just kind of sits and spins and meander here's the spaghetti plots again, all over the place and it's not because we don't know where it's going. it's because it has nowhere to go. >> when you look at the steering currents, you have these two big areas of high pressure a stationary front park to the north. >> so there's really just no where for this to go. it kind of gets squeezed in one spot that is incredibly important because very tropical system it is piled in with moistures. so we're talking about possibly prolific amounts of heavy rain. we've got a footprint of six
4:15 pm
to 12 inches of rain from northern florida up through the carolinas. and increasingly worried about the low country of georgia and south carolina where we could be measuring in feet easily over a foot, possibly approaching two feet it really need to watch that closely. urban flash flooding will be a problem as we go into the work week, we have multiple days of moderate risk for heavy rain along the southeast coast through sunday, monday, tuesday, and even going into wednesday as this thing just is incredibly slow, it will bring heavy rain for days on end. jessica all right. elisa rafah with the latest thank you very much for that. >> the u.s is sending an aircraft carrier, warships and fighter squadron to the middle east as the region braces for a possible attack on israel launched by iran also, we have breaking news as ukraine strikes a major blow on russia's navy we're sinking one of its submarines retired us air force colonel cedric leighton is standing by with his analysis this election season stay with cnn with more

4:21 pm
know? what indications are we seeing of where they are in that process? >> jessica, just about the only thing we do know is that there will be an iranian response to the assassination of the head of hamas's political wing and a smile, haniah, in an apartment block in tehran. that's about all we do know. we don't know when this attack, when this response is going to happen. iran telegram craft, its previous barrage of missiles and drones on israel back in april, quite a lot in advance this time, they don't seem to be giving that away. we don't know where the attack is going to come from. will it come directly from iran, from its main proxy, hezbollah in southern lebanon, which by the way, in the early hours of sunday morning, fired more than 30 projectiles the northern israel, according to the idf, there were no reports of injuries or damage. will it come from the houthis will it come from other iranian backed groups in iraq? could it be a combination or could it happen somewhere else? not inside of
4:22 pm
israel, but i think the most important question is, what exactly is this response going to look like? and will it cross any red lines which are, let's say, more immovable red lines than some of the ones that we thought were already laid down on, which have been breached many times already by by all sides. so for example, if there were an attack on tel aviv that might be seen as a red line and a reason for israel to escalate things further and for things to descend into all out war. so iran will probably right now be thinking very hard about how it can respond in a way that saves face a bit for having its esteemed guests. ismail haniyeh assassinated on its soil. i should say that israel hasn't claimed responsibility. how it can restore a modicum of deterrence. and yet at the same time, ensure that whatever response it does decide to do doesn't push sides whether it's iran and hezbollah are just hezbollah and israel into all out war. jessica and
4:23 pm
elliott, how are people? >> and the government officials in israel reacting to all of this prime minister benjamin netanyahu, just the other day he warned of in his words, challenging days ahead for the country and we know from victory supermarket, which is one of the smallest supermarket chains in israel, they were telling cnn about a spike in sales of basic goods like cereal, canned goods, bottled water, and pastor and toilet paper, things like that. >> something like 30% increase in sales in some cases, we've also seen the jerusalem municipality telling residents what it ought to do, that it should stock up on things like water and batteries and food to give them enough, like three days worth. in the event of a wider attack. and also directed them to public shelters. but beyond that, and we have seen more protests in tel aviv against the government trying to get it to do everything it can to bring the hostages home,
4:24 pm
something that feels is now going to be even harder after the assassination of a smile haniyeh, who are not part of the negotiating team was still one of the decision-makers in hamas. but by and large, jessica, i think life is just continuing as normal, relatively in israel elliott gotkine for us from london. thank you for that reporting we are also following breaking news in russia's war on ukraine, the ukrainian military today saying it has sunk a russian submarine and struck an s 400 anti-aircraft missile, missile system. and russian occupied crimea ukrainian official saying the submarines sunk, quote, on the spot, they say the same submarine was severely damaged in a ukrainian missile attack last september. now this attack is ukraine's latest blow to russia's navy, which kyiv claims has already lost a third of its black sea fleet. russia has yet to comment on that attack. and joining me now, cnn military analyst and retired us air force colonel cedric leighton.
4:25 pm
cedric, good to have you on as always let's talk first about ukraine and what i was just describing what's your reaction to this move by the ukrainians? >> jessica, it's great to be with you again, it's a very clear that the ukrainians have a strategy that is hit the big stuff that russia has and hit it hard and there's a lot of stuff moving military equipment. it is dangerous to ukraine from a military perspective that is based in crimea and, of course, the ukrainians consider crimea to be crummy, to be ukrainian territory. and the fact that they have been able to hit targets such as the submarine. this kilo class submarine. it's called the rostov-on-don that really means something because this submarine and types like it is capable full of carrying what are known as kalibr missiles. the kalibr missile is a, some variants are subsonic, others are supersonic but these are missiles that are used to attack the ukrainian
4:26 pm
infrastructure. all the energy plants that the ukrainians have lost during these two years of war. they've been attacked in part through missiles like the calibers is hitting this submarine is a big, big deal. the other thing hitting that s 400 site that helps with the air defense system for the russians. and if you knock out the air defense system, that means that you can start flying against russian targets that you're going after. this could potentially we give the f-16s that crane has just received a role in taking care of targets in crimea as well. >> i also want to talk to you about what's going on in the middle east, which we were just reporting on. we heard that reporting from elliott gotkine, the u.s. we know is sending an aircraft carrier warships, fighter squadron to the region amid this potential return palliation from iran over the killing of the senior hamas leader in tehran earlier this week what do you make of these moves by the american military? will iran beat factoring that
4:27 pm
in to their decision as they tried to figure out how they will retaliate. they have promised retaliation yeah, that's right. >> they have promised retaliation and basically what the u.s move is with all the aircraft carrier going in there and another aircraft carrier in the gulf of oman. the idea here is to present the iranian with a fait accompli that the u.s. is going to be there it, will knock out a lot of uranium missiles if they choose to go that route, a lot of iranian missiles that could be lodged against israel. if that happens, if the iranians do what they did in april or something similar to that, is then the u.s. is prepared to, along with other allies, to in essence pollster israelis, air defense system and that's really what this is. this is an essence even a move of deterrence. and the capability exists among the u.s. coupled with the israeli capabilities to protect a large portion of
4:28 pm
israel, whether or not there is effective as they were in april, remains to be seen, of course. >> right. and we will see how that plays out. all right, cedric leighton, always great. good to have you on. thanks for your analysis. we appreciate it you bet jessica anytime. all right we're going to we're going to take i believe, a quick break right now and we're going to come right back i shall not seek and i will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your president. >> 19 in 60 years ago tomorrow at nine on cnn, when you're the leader is disaster clean up and restoration how do you make likely never even happened sir, from ever even happened dan made progress with his mental health, but his medication caused unintentional movement in his face, hands, and feet called tardive dyskinesia or td

4:33 pm
spy i'm apparently a general in the army of secret agent for dia this is the nonsense narrative. >> they came up with. and they just they wouldn't let it go so well, this is how putin runs his government this is how putin runs his country. >> let's bring in mickey bergman. he helped negotiate wnba star brittney griner's release from russia. he also has written the book in the shadows, true stories of high-stakes negotiations to free americans captured abroad. he's also the vice president of the governor richardson center in texas make you thanks so much for joining us. we appreciate it. that i first just want to get your thoughts. yeah. i'm happy to have you get your thoughts on this historic prisoner swap that we saw. that was so complicated and took the buy-in of many us allies to get this done. >> yeah i think it's a tremendous feat look, i've been in my organization, has been working with a lot of the families of americans that are have been held in russia. and those who still remain held in
4:34 pm
russia. but this was a us government operation. it wasn't a good lead and executed by the government i commend the white house, the state department, the cia. this took so much coordination in such careful choreography to pool, we should all be very, very proud of what, what was done and as we all know and as we all see these deals are never good. they never feel good, but sometimes they're the only way to bring our innocent americans back home i want to talk more about that point in just a second, but first i want to talk about it. >> does seem like look as evan gershkovich just over there, being a journalist doing his job, journalism is not a crime. get scooped up, held wrongfully. how does the white house, how does the u.s. deter this from happening in the future it didn't deter putin from scooping americans and trying to hold them for these negotiations. >> well, i think it's a very,
4:35 pm
very important, difficult question and there are a few efforts that are ongoing commissions out of government in with coordination of the government of working on what are the possible policy solutions to deter. but one of the things that is so important jessica, to realize is that we cannot what do the deterrence on the back of the americans that are actually held, whether it's in russia, whether it's in afghanistan, whether it's in other countries that were still working in getting these americans back home it is extremely important that first we do everything we can to bring these americans, these innocent americans, back i and then they are possibilities. they are policies within our toolbox that can be deployed in order to try and deter we won't be able to stop it. but we might be able to mitigate the risk. >> and then i want to get to your other point that you made about there's there aren't great options here and john kirby the nsc spokesperson, had
4:36 pm
had set like he's he's not thrilled about some of these guys being wreck out, but you have to make tough calls. i'm paraphrasing what he said there, but that was kind of it do you agree with that assessment? >> yes. i look, i i've been doing this for 18 years. we've brought countless of americans home. some of them through, through the u.s. government, some of them were able to bring home ourselves maybe it is something for bibi netanyahu, the prime minister of israel, you talked about it in your show just a little while ago to take the lead lesson from president biden. that's what leadership does. you do whatever it takes to bring your people home. you're strong enough to do this, and then you figure out how to mitigate and live with the consequences. but jessica, one of the things that is important, especially in the case of russia, is that we're very, very excited and i have, i have failed to bring paul whelan back home four times before he came home this week. and i'm extremely excited to see him home. >> but we do have americans that are still there. >> i've spent the last couple
