mind. three of them said that it may then trust the justice system more. the man we just heard from in georgia said it made him not trust the justice system as much. as to whether or not they thought donald trump should go to jail, another woman from georgia had a very strong response to that. >> he should serve jail time. pay the penalty for the crime. we know they will negotiate and renegotiate. he will not serve any time. he will get more time on television. >> at the end of the day, they were asked, if you had to pick between president biden and donald trump, who would you pick come november? six of them said they would vote for joe biden. a few of them were unsure.

notion of total victory. president biden said if you do that, you will bog yourself down and further isolate yourself. that is why analysts were telling me it is not just an attempt to pressure hamas. it is an attempt to pressure the israeli government to follow through on its own proposal and see it through. netanyahu will have his say in washington soon. he has been invited to give a joint statement to congress. >> thank you >> >> for the great reporting. thank you. ♪ >> and other headlines, germany has given ukraine the green light to use long-range weapons supplied by berlin on targets inside russia. the biden administration gave a similar approval yesterday. the use of the weapons is

in phoenix this weekend. to help us understand more of what is driving this, we are joined by the director of climate science. thank you so much for being here. first off, what is driving this? will we see more of these extreme events? >> that is exactly right. we are in a warming planet because we have too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. one of the most obvious signs of that is we see these extreme events popping up all over the world. especially as you look at the number and the fact that they are occurring simultaneously in 70 places, that is a clear signal that we are living on a planet that has been altered by people. >> what do you say to the devil's advocate who says it is almost the cusp of summer, it is naturally warmer in the summer. of course we will see some spikes in temperatures. this is not that unusual.

>> i would say this is quite unusual. that is with the data and the science suggests. we can talk about any one of these places and they will have hot weather. but in the conditions you are seeing in india, these cannot occur without climate change. much of the pervasive heat we saw in mexico would not exist without climate change. it is weighing it occurs. early-season heat as a sign of climate change. and the duration. how pervasive the heat is. >> other other factors beyond climate change that could be driving this? >> you have natural weather variability. things like el niño will drive heat. but the fact that we are seeing so many of these events taking

place all over the world at the same time is a very strong indication that climate change is behind this. >> your organization just put out a study looking at the increase in extreme heat events globally. can you tell a little bit about what that study found? >> we focused on days that anybody at that location would find hot. a hotter temperature in phoenix than it is in boston. but we looked around the world what we found was climate change added for the average person on planet earth 26 extra days of extreme heat. it is an incredible burden that we are putting on people around the planet. it is even higher if you move the places like central america, northern africa, and places in southeast asia. >> as you are indicating and reporting, extreme heat does not

fall proportionally on all members of society. can you talk a little bit about the people who suffered the most when the temperature goes way up? >> the people who suffer the most are the people who are already vulnerable for one reason or another. it could be because they are very old or very young or have some kind of underlying health condition. that could be pregnancy. people who are pregnant are very vulnerable to heat. you add in these social vulnerabilities. if you're homeless and living on the street, you will be highly vulnerable. that is what folks see in phoenix. 80% of the deaths came from the on housed population. people who are abusing drugs will be more susceptible. any of these social vulnerabilities will magnify the potential for a bad outcome. >> we know that cutting the

emissions of greenhouse gases is the number one way we can tackle climate change globally. but on a local level,are the things people can do or governments can do to protect those most vulnerable when the temperature soars? >> absolutely. one of the unique things about heat relative to other climate events is there is a lot we can do to keep people safe. individually, you can take care of yourself, drink water, understand what your options are to keep cool. keep an eye on your friends and neighbors. cities can get the most vulnerable into cooling centers. that can help keep the environment cool. >> thank you so much for being here. >> thank you for having me. ♪

thank you so much for being here. i would like you to reflect on the significance of this moment. a former and potentially future president found guilty. upon his sentencing he will become a convicted felon. you have the first word tonight. >> yesterday was a surprising day just because at one moment we were told that the judge will live the jury go. and then the next minute we have a verdict. yesterday was a very solemn day. whether you like the guy or not, the fact that a former president of the u.s. was found guilty on all counts unanimously by a jury of his peers and that same person is the presumptive nominee for president of the republican party, for the office, it was solemn.

for where we are as a country, it was a solemn day. in the before times, he would no longer be the candidate. another more upright person reflective of the party and country would become the nominee. i know he is perfectly reflective of the party as it is now. but i am talking about the before time. i was elated because he is being held accountable. but at the same time i am a little crestfallen because of what it says about where the country is right now. >> how does it strike you? >> i will go back to the before times. there were pillars of conservatism. the first was moral character. character is destiny.

we should not forget the fact that this case was about a former president paying hush money to acorn star. -- a porn star. the second is about the power of institutions to safeguard society. there was a moment that some in the courtroom described when the jury asked the judge to read back some of the technical binaries of the indictment and the law, apparently was very dry and technocratic language. but the members of the jury looked at the judge with reverence. i have always found that juries take their responsibilities very seriously. this is character and institutions. he is a transgressor. the attack on the institutions will be to the defense department and the attorney general's office.

it will be a comprehensive assault on american institutions. that is what is at stake. can the institutions hold? >> as we reported earlier the broadcast, donald trump spoke for more than 30 minutes to reporters, firing off grievances. he really tried to portray himself as a political martyr. this is been a theme central to his campaign. it would appear that this is an effective way to rally his supporters because the campaign says in less than 24 hours since the verdict came down, they have raised $34.8 million. how will this plate not just with his base but with independent voters and soft from supporters who could decide the election. >> this is a time will tell moment. we are just 24-hour's from having this guilty verdict.

we don't know how certain people are going to respond. those folks on the periphery of the republican party don't like him and what he stands for. what will he spend that money on? who are the people he's getting the money from? the other thing that is most fascinating, president nixon had something that donald trump does not have and that is a sense of shame. richard nixon had enough of a sense of shame that he resigned the office rather than be impeached because he did not want the stain of impeachment. and yet donald trump has been impeached twice.

>> what does all of this reveal about donald trump and the space he occupies in american life and the degree which she has shifted the center of our politics? >> he tells a story that he is out to get you. the system is broken. that is a story a lot of people agree with and they think yesterday. i was struck by my friends in the republican party, some were trump supporters and some were not. i was surprised at how vociferous the response was. they said this was today the justice system was perverted to launch a political attack. the fundamental institutions of society are at a threat. they are way more fired up than i anticipated. the political effect of this is i suspect it will be marginal.

the people who are supporting him will support him. they buy that the system is out to get them. the people who are marginal, they are not people who pay a lot of attention to politics. they tend to be people who supported biden. they are low information for cold voters. i don't suspect they will go very far. the basic question of the selection is the system is broken, we need this kind of matter how big of a jerk he is. we need them to take it to the man. >> after his appearances morning, president trump delivered -- president biden delivered comments. he had this to say. >> they found him guilty on all 34 felony counts.

now he has the opportunity to appeal that decision. that is how the american system of justice works. it is reckless and dangerous and irresponsible for anybody to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict. >> i was talking to a democratic operative today who said this is the time that the biden campaign should litigate the case against donald trump to say you may have concerns about inflation but will you really vote for a convicted felon? do you think the campaign is doing enough? >> the verdict has only been out for 24 hours. i am not yelling at you, i'm yelling at the democratic operative that you spoke to. and who he represents. this is something democrats do. the state of the union,

everybody was elated. now we are back to, what is everybody doing? did it sometime. i thought his tone and what he had to say was perfect because he was being the grown up in the room. add in the nation. defending the justice system and saying what is proper, right, and fair. there is plenty of time to litigate the case against donald trump. he will give the campaign a lot of opportunity to do that. democrats just need to calm down. [laughter] >> we reported yesterday that the campaign, the ultimate decision will be made by the voters. voters will be voting on the issues. how do you see that? ? >> i like the fact that biden

has been restrained. this should be the justice system versus donald trump. this is what this is about. he is not the only populist in the world. we have had 20 years of this now. people all around the world have tried to figure out, how did we beat these guys? if you look at the global consensus, going low and calling him names does not work. replicating his style does not work. if you look at the people who have successfully beaten back strong men, they go with substance. i am not fighting about his little games. i am offering you a bunch of programs that are in your interests. that seems to be a smarter strategy. >> let's talk more about how top republicans are viewing all of this. mike johnson was on fox

yesterday and suggested that the u.s. supreme court should step in. here's what he said. >> i do believe the supreme court should step in. this is totally unprecedented and it is dangerous to our system we have talked about this before. this is diminishing the american people's faith in our system of justice. to maintain a republic, you have to believe that justice is fair. that there is equal justice under the law. they do not see that right now. i know the justices on the court are deeply concerned about that. >> it is not just him, mitch mcconnell, who had a frosty relationship with donald trump, said in his view this case never should have been brought. how do you view the ways republicans are circling the wagon. >> i find it reprehensible. what speaker johnson says is as

dangerous as what donald trump said today during the press conference. speaker johnson is the second in line to the presidency. he should be if not silent on this as responsible and measured while disagreeing as the president was. in talking about the case. if anything gives me pause, it is the vociferous reaction of republicans, especially republicans who in the before times would be saying the exact opposite of what they are saying no. >> i think it is crazy. i had some doubts about an elected democrat prosecutor going against donald trump in new york. but you have to take the jury system seriously. trump was convicted on 34 counts by a jury. that is the core of our legal system. for johnson to waive that aside and say better, that sounds like

i'm hari sreenivasan in new york. the first ever criminal trial of an american president ended this afternoon in a manhattan courtroom. a 12-member jury convicted donald trump on all 34 felony counts related to the hush money payments concealing an affair with stormy daniels prior to the 2016 election. on the second day of deliberations, the jury found that the former president falsified business records in a scheme to influence the 2016 election by keeping information about the affair from the public. leaving court today,
