i'm taking charge of my cholesterol with garlique. president biden sending a critical message on the world stage. democracy can still prevail. he is trying to assure allies the u.s. is back while slamming trump for what biden calls phony populism. it comes as the president prerms for his critical one-on-one summit meeting with putin a day away. plus the fbi issuing a chilling warning to lawmakers that qanon is more emboldened than ever. and get prepared -- and may be prepared to get more violent. and the chairman. judiciary committee to investigate the secret subpoenas. let's bring in john avalon and max booth, from the council on

foreign relations. when an american president travels abroad, they usually focus on promoting democracy around the world. today we saw president joe biden trying to assure the world that democracy is alive and well right here in the u.s. is it? >> it is under threat. >> you hesitated. >> yeah. it's a good question. we shouldn't try on gloss over. yeah. biden believes in democracy and diplomacy. his core pitch at home and abroad is that democracies need to stand up to autocracies. we need to be honest that we're experiencing that challenge here at home as well. and the world is noticing it. pew research just shows that america's reputation has rocketed up again in the world's eyes since biden became president but crucially, the

world also has doubts about america's ability to be an exemplary democracy. and that's sobering. we need to take that seriously and build it back. >> about 24 hours away, just about 24 hours away from biden's critical meeting with vladimir putin. there is so much ground to cover including election interference, russia's involvement on cyber attacks, laix navalny, the list goes on. the most important for joe biden to deliver, what's that? >> that there is a new sheriff in town. there is no longer a u.s. president who is mysteriously enamored by vladimir putin. biden has called putin a killer and that's am accurate assessment so he is going in with no illusions. hey, we can cooperate if there's an overlap of interest. if you continue going down the

road you're on right now, there will be more serious repercussions. and we will not tolerate attacks on our elections. we will not tolerate cyber attacks on our companies, attacks on our allies, and we will not stay silent about human rights abuses. i think one of the most important messages that biden can deliver to putin in geneva, mr. putin, let alexei navalny go. and there are other dissidents locked up in russia. let them go. this is something trump would have ignored. biden can't ignore it and he has to playing it a major part of his meeting with putin. >> then, what does a successful meeting look like? he is laughing off hacking attempts. he won't even garon see alexei navalny will stay alive in prison. what is a successful meeting? >> it is a meeting where he

stabs up to thuggery as opposed to sucking up to putin. never losing an opportunity to cow tow. what joe biden is trying to do, the reason they're not having a press conference to avoid some of the mano y mano stuff. to focus on the grate substance of great power relations. that requires self-discipline. biden will have to lay down a hard line when it comes to expansionist ambitions. cyber attacks. he's taken a hard line on money laundering and corruption. but also, the national security adviser made it clear. russia is not a trusted ally. they cannot be trusted right now. they need to earn back that trust. and biden is under no illusions. putin isn't going to change. he is who he is. >> max, he kind of hedged on that. he didn't say he was a killer.

biden took a big shot at trump and republican who's are still pushing his lies, even after the insurrection. watch this. >> i think it is a shock and surprise that what has happened in terms of the consequences of trump's phony populism has happened, and it is disappointing that so many of my republican colleagues in the senate, who i know know better, have been reluctant to take on an investigation because they're worried about being primaried. >> does this show he is clear eyed about the political reality he's facing? >> i think he understands what's going on. i think joe biden is as appalled as anybody by the current state of the republican party. look, i'm somebody who as you know was a republican for much of my life and i can't recognize

this party. joe biden has always been a democrat but he's been a fairly centrist bipartisan democrat who worked close when i a lot of republican colleagues and i think he understands, that republican party is almost entirely gone. we'll see negotiations over an infrastructure bill, whether there's any possibility of any kind of bipartisan agreement. it frankly doesn't look good and i think biden is able to understand that and he has to push through with democratic votes if necessary. and that's been easy either with everything the white house would like to see. i think this is a huge probable for american democracy. a huge approximate for the world. that we now have a party whose support for democracy can no longer be counted possible. >> i'm sure you're paying attention to this. what mitch mcconnell is saying. highly unlikely that he would let biden confirm the supreme court vacancy in 2024 if the gop

wins back the senate in 2022. there's only one thing he cares about. that's power, right? >> yeah. power and judges, the two being the same thing. for those keeping score at home, this is a complete flip-flop from amy coney barrett. weeks from an election when early voting had already started. this is all situational ethics and it should be a wake-up call to democrats and the president and frankly, supreme court justice breyer about the stakes they're facing heading into 2022. there is an obligation to use your power while you've got it of the don't be fooled into thinking you have good faith negotiations on crucial issues like supreme court justice. >> thank you. i appreciate it. i want to turn to the fbi, warning that qanon followers may carry out more acts of violence. cnn's reporter has been reporting extensively on these conspiracy theories and he joins

us now. good to see you. you've been going through this fbi threat assessment. what are you learning about who qanon supporters may be looking to harm? >> yeah. so qanon supporters have been sold a conn, right? for years they were told that everybody would get rounded up and arrested. democrats, even hillary clinton would get rounded up. trump would be behind it all and all these democrats would be sent to jail. of course, that didn't happen and now the fbi is telling lawmakers essentially that some qanon supporters may be getting frustrated. this was a report given to our colleagues earlier this evening. essentially what that report says is that qanon is very much an online movement but we have already seen how it can inspire, or help inspire acts of real world violence. and the concern is that some qanon supporters may try to take matters into their own hands, not happy that the kabul hasn't

been rounded up. and then just go target democrats and other alleged members themselves. >> i cannot believe we're discussing this. because it is just so ludicrous. >> you talked a lot about qanon supporters, to qanon supporters about the election. here it is. >> it was a false election. and they took over. and that's what happened. the military took over. >> that could possibly happen here, possibly. if the military is in control. >> do you think that's what could happen? >> it could. >> would you like to see it happen? >> absolutely. >> do you know why? because the election was stolen from us. >> the military is doing their own investigation. at the right time, they'll be restoring the republic with trump as president.

>> okay. oh, boy, oh, boy, clearly, none of that is happening. are they getting more frustrated? >> yeah. and this is the point. if you don't laugh at this, you'll cry. it is ridiculous. but as we have seen, folks really do believe this. there are people who have, because of the media they watch, the former president they listen to, they believe a lot of the stuff. we talk a lot about qanon and the cabal, and the rings and stuff. this is all about the big lie. qanon is now essentially all talk about the big lie and the election was stolen. so it is all of this enabling all this crazy. and you hear people talking about myanmar as americans looking to say, wow, that would be great if that happens here.

you say that sounds ridiculous. a few weeks ago we heard trump's former national security adviser, gem michael flynn appearing to endorse that, and then walking it back. you can laugh but it is deadly serious. >> this is more out of exasperation and exhaustion. i don't find it funny at all. anyway, i want to get your reaction to a rare apology from someone known for pushing qanon conspiracy theories. marjorie taylor greene comparing mask mandates to the holocaust. after visiting the holocaust museum today, here's what she said. >> the holocaust is, there is nothing comparable to it. it is -- it happened and you

know, over 6 million jewish people were murdered. the horrors of the holocaust are something that some people don't even believe happened. and some people denial but there is no comparison to the holocaust. and there are words that i have said, remarks that i have made, that i know are offensive and for that, i want to apologize. >> it appears to be a rare moment of contrition. because she has doubled down on her anti-semitic comments before. what is this all about? >> it is good to see that. she has been given this opportunity to clarify her comments. but she has doubled down in the past. so to see this happen was interesting. but this is from the woman who just a if you years ago was talking on the internet about jewish space lasers being responsible for forest fires in california. >> yep. so again, that is the, again, the laughable part. thank you very much. joining me now, democratic

congressman mike quigley of illinois who sits on the house intelligence committee. thank you. i appreciate you joining us this evening. the house judiciary chairman jerry nadler said that he will investigate the trump justice department, targeting your colleagues in the house. don mcgahn, the media and others. in a statement he writes, it is also possible that these cases are merely our first glimpse into a coordinated effort by the trump administration to target president trump's political opposition. how deep do you think this potential abuse of power goes? it is an enormous abuse of power. >> sure. i think you've seen the tip of the iceberg. i think the chairman is absolutely right. we've seen the other abuses within this administration toward a tyrannical regime. will we imagine within doj, this

would be his only foray? absolutely not. the attorney general for one needs to have a four-year damage assessment internally, going beyond the inspector general's report. we know there are still people. still flls who oversaw this charade. one left today but there are others. he had a whole government at his disposal. who is to know, given his tactics, that he wouldn't to the exact same thing or worse within, for example, the intelligence community. so it is a great concern. >> the attorney general merrick garland is promising the d.o.j. will, and i quote, strengthen the department's existing policies and procedures for seeinging congressional records. could you think that's enough? >> i think it is enough during his administration. there's much more to do. the fact is, if a tyrant like

trump becomes president again, or someone like him, who is to say they won't change it back or disregard them? it is ongoing. so much depends on the american public not only willing to accept this behavior. >> so democrats on the senate judiciary committee sent a letter to garland demanding evidence including the actual subpoenas. what questions do you need answered from the a.g.? >> i'm not surprised, they're on the ball like i thought they would be who made these decisions? i would ask, what else were you doing along these lines? i think most important, was the president of the united states involved in any way? we know he sicced the dogs on them because he publicly blamed

them. no shock or surprise. that's who was targeted in this vent you are. so i think you have to move along those lines. >> the fbi warning that qanon followers may start targeting lawmakers with actual violence. you lived through horrors of january 6th. are you worried that it could happen again? >> i don't want to give them the satisfaction to think that i'm worried about them. but i'm realistic enough to know that i'm in harm's way. i think we are targets and we owe to it our country and our democracy to recognize that and move forward. to do anything else would be to give them a victory. and we just can't let the tyrants win. >> i also want to get your take on marjorie taylor greene apologizing for her i go northern and offensive comments,

comparing mask mandates and the holocaust. do you semiher apology? >> any time she wants to apologize, i'll semiit. she has a long list of things to apologize for. in the final analysis, she has to decide if she wants to serve her constituency and get something done in congress and not just be an extension of what trump was in this country, in a vocal and extremely destructive way. >> thank you, representative quigley. i appreciate your time. >> thank you. hate crimes rising. shootings are up year over year. more robberies, all right here in new york city. my next guest is running for mayor, touting her man's to cut $1 million from the police budget and get rid of thousands of officers. maya whiwiley, here next.

all right. so you have to look at this. new tonight, there's shocking video showing a new york city delivery driver being stabbed while riding his bike on the

street. look at this. this is a 53-year-old victim, an asian man was makinging a food delivery in brooklyn yesterday when another cyclist rode up behind him. the second rider pulls out a large knife. stabs the victim in the back. and then just rides away. surveillance footage released by police shows just how big the knife used by the attacker was. it is important to note, the victim is okay. thankfully. police say he was treated at a nearby hospital for nonlife threatening wounds. it colomes as crime is increasi. voting underway election day a week away. joining me now, mayoral candidate maya wiley. thank you for joining us. i appreciate it. that video beyond disturbing. what are you going to do about violent crime like this if you get elected as mayor here?

>> yeah, that video is beyond disturbing. it is outrageous. and we have real questions about whether that was a hate crime. we know there was something mumbled to the man who was asian, who was stabbed. and this is something that is a devastating and unacceptable crisis in the city. what we have to really try to do and understand is do things in the way that is smart. that goes after the problem smartly and well. and one is to recognize that we need our new york city police department. one, focused on the crime on the rise and deploying our resources with that in mind and doing it smartly. but that also means a balance with all the things that we know will solve the problem once and for all. and this is the thing about public safety. what we're trying to do is grow it and make it smart. because one of the things that is also true is that we have

made a false choice that suggests, we have to either choose safety from violence, or safety from police violence. that's a false choice. focus the police on the job and recognize how much of the calls that we are sending to the new york city police department are for things like mental health distress. >> let me ask but that. because you are not using the slogan, defund the police but you are campaigning on taking away $1 billion from the nypd budget and using that money for social services, as you just mentioned. when you look at the numbers, i live here. it is frightening here. and people have good reason to be frightened. is that the right move here? >> you know why it is the right move? because people are frightened

and it is because so much of the rise in violence and crime is a result of things that we can fix. and this is important. because one of the things that's true of the new york city police department is it is unaccountable, its budget is a black box and it has a lot of wasteful spending but it is not smart and doesn't keep us safe. one quick example. when i was in far rockaway, as we know, a 10-year-old boy, justin wallace was killed. gun violence. in a community that has suffered from it. and one of our most effective tools that prevents the gun being shot in the first place. -- asking for at the ridge is wril social workers. trauma-informed care. the truth of what we're experiencing in this city, so much of it. not all of it. that's why we have a role and a job -- [ inaudible ].

>> we're having an issue with maya's signal. and unfortunately, we don't have it, right? no. okay. if we have time -- it's back? maya, we're having trouble with your signal which is something i should be asking about, infrastructure and a better grid when it comes to wi-fi. >> absolutely. absolutely. the bottom line here -- >> go on, on. i want to play a sound bite for you from the debate. finish your thought and then i'll play your sound bite. we have connection issues. >> we keep -- we're spending so much money sending police officers to respond to what we need mental health crisis responders to respond to. that would keep us safer. it would balance what we need balance around investment in our communities to keep us safe as well as police keeping us safe in all the things we intend them

to and that means accountability. it is black and brown people that suffer when the job is done wrong. >> this is what you said in the debate last week when asked about taking guns away from police officers. here it is. >> we have the strongest gun control laws in the country. the issue is how they're coming in. we do want a police department focused on keeping them out. city and off our streets. >> will you take guns away from the nypd? >> i am not prepared to make that decision in a debate. i am going to have a civilian commissioner and a civilian commission that will hold the police accountable and make sure we're safe from crime but also from police violence. >> so you have since clarified saying don't want to take guns away from police officers. you also slammed your possibly eric adams saying he thinks the solution to every problem is a badge and a gun. he wants people carrying guns into churches and says when he's mayor, he'll be heat.

he is a retired police officer. why is he not the right personal to clean up crime in this city? >> because it hasn't worked. because so much of what we're seeing in black and brown communities is lazy policing, rather than smart policing, constitutional policing. i think we all saw it. we have a way of doing it smarter. the same groups 28 the highest gun violence are the spam had them in 19 people in. and they deserve the investments from research, we know what will keep us safe. investments in mental health crisis response. it is making it easier to get a job and a gun and that's what i have in my plans. and there's a role for policing. i want to be very clear. i've never said, nor has anyone

in this campaign has it ever been an issue to take guns from active duty, on duty police officers. up to 40 of which is for mental health crisis response. not because there is a violent crime in process. this is us about meeting the needs of our people. that's the job of government and that's what i'll do when i'm there. >> maya wiley, i think everyone got message. thank you so much. best luck to you. >> thank you. >> thank you. pleasure only the with you. we've got a cnn exclusive. a possible nuclear plant pleek could pose an imminent threat. live in shanghai, china. plus, a professor filled with hate because he wrote about teaching people racism. straight ahead. ♪

tonight a cnn exclusive. a reported leak at a chinese nuclear plant. the company that owns and operates the facility warning of an imminent radiological threat. let's bring in now, david in shanghai. thank you for joining. i appreciate it. this sounds really alarming. how severe is the threat at this nuclear plant? >> hey, don, good to be with

you. it does sound frightening. according to one source, this is not at that level. they have come out to say the situation is under control. it is a performance issue. they're working through it and they hope to have a resolution relatively soon. how does that square with what you just said as far as it being an imminent radiological threat? those are not our words. those words come from the french company that jointly runs this plan in a waiver request to the u.s. department of energy. that was uncovered by our colleagues in washington. and it suggested furthermore that the chinese were covering tim amount of radiation in the atmosphere. that they were increasing the acceptable and safe limit, if you will. so it is a strong accusation against the chinese. we've asked for their comments. they have not come back to us.

one of two things. one is the geopolitical climate between the and u.s. china is so challenging that would normally be between two allied countries, picking up a phone and calling for support, it has to go through diplomatic time so they have to embellish it to get that waiver approved, or it suggests that now that it's gone public because of our reporting, the french company is experiencing perhaps some back lash or pressure from the chinese and wants to back down a bit and suggest that it is more under control. it is a challenging situation, either way. >> yeah, the current president of the united states, joe biden, is trying to rally allies to be more confrontational toward china. he did it at the g-7 summit. he did it today at nato. he put out a communique on the challenges put out by china. we know beijing doesn't like outside pressure. how it will take this? >> they do not. that's accurate.

and you had discussions over the government that president biden was suggesting as not necessary they president of china but suggesting that the democracies they're in a contest with. this is a more difficult situation than even when the trump administration was in office. because we heard tough words and strong rhetoric from the trump administration. what's different here is you have this coalition that is building. mounding pressure on beige beijing. that is making it more challenging as they are entering the 2022 olympics next year and there's talk of potential boycotts. so it is mounting pressure. >> i appreciate your reporting. thank you. so he wrote an article about christian race theory. in return he got a lot of anti-semitic hate messages thrown at him. my next guest will explain the connection. with extra broccolini. my tuuuurrrrn! tonight...i'll be eating cheesy cauliflower pizza and yummy broccolini!

jason, thank you so much. we are going to talk about your article. i just want to know, tell me about pt the types of comments t you are getting after writing your article on race theory? >> well, they're not as bad as what black journalists, like yourself and others, get. people -- people say, look. obviously, it's jews. no surprise. it's a jew, who wrote this article. so, it -- what -- what it does is it confirmed, for me, what i'd long, long suspected. that this attack is part of a playbook that we are seeing internationally. the elite have taken over your institutions. the communists, the marxists, the jews. they are -- they are trying to make you feel guilty about your culture. they -- they have control of your children. these are conspiracy theories that have long had anti-semitic links. so, when people talk about marxist jews trying to instigate

black people to overthrow whiteness. that's -- that's an old-conspiracy theory in the united states. and this kind of moral panic we are seeing taps into that. >> yeah. i want to quote, now, from your article. and here's what you write about -- you write that politicians use critical-race theory as cudgels in a propaganda campaign to advance their political dwgoals with little regard for the actual philosophies at issue. so, i think, critical-race theory sounds, maybe, kind of scary or something, you know. to the audience or what have you. so, you know, the conservative networks use it and the right use it. but they don't even, really, understand what it is. i haven't heard a really good explanation from the right. what is their aim here? >> so, their -- their aim is to make us forget about the racist history of our institutions. so they can -- they can, then, do things, like reinstitute jim crow and have election laws

that -- that have this racist past. and make it so that we're not allowed to recognize this this is an echo of a racist past. >> uh-huh. >> so, critical-race theory looks at -- looks at the large, racial inequities that -- that persist after the civil-rights movement. like, the huge racial-wealth gap between black-americans and wh white-americans. the school segregation that persists. and they say well, we are supposed to all be equal and free after that civil rights movement. what happened? and they say it's because these institutions, banking, education, criminal justice. they -- they were initially -- they're originally racist. they had this racist past. and since they -- and -- and the practices remain. the -- there might not be as many explicit racists or few exp explicit racists.

people aren't individually racist but the practices remain and you have to change the practices. >> yeah. let's talk -- oh, sorry. >> hopefully, to address these to bring in election practices that have a racist past and so they want to erase, from our memory, this racist past. >> yeah. sorry, we just -- your signal broke up a little bit. i thought you were finishing your thought but you weren't coming through. again, so let me quote again. you said the republican attack on critical-r race theory's aim is a broadside against truth and history in education. listen. i -- i believe, all along, that, you know, we need to be taught the truth about this country, early on, right? as -- as -- as young as grade school, as early as grade school. why do they fear history being taught more widely? >> we need it because we can't -- we can't do policy. if we want to really address the problems in this country with -- with our massive-prison system.

the policing problems you discussed early in the show. the enfact that we put such massive effort into policing and into -- into militarized police. and less into jobs and mental health. then, we need massive -- then, we need to address the fact that these institutions. that there are these large gaps, between whites and blacks, because of a racist history. if you erase that racist history from our schools, then we can't address these problems. we can't actually do policy. you say to people, look, we have to change these practices because the practice of sending lots of police officers into neighborhoods. rather, than improving schools and giving them jobs. comes from a -- a -- a kind of racist reaction, in the past. if you erase that history, people won't know that. and i think we need to talk about the election laws because that's what's really happening. they want us to forget that restrictions on voting have a
