good morning and welcome to your "new day." i'm kristin fisher. >> good morning, kristen. i'm boris sanchez. why one committee says their explanation doesn't make any sense. >> president biden is meeting with key leaders in saudi arabia saudi arabia. what he's hoping to achieve. and then the criticism over the meeting with the crown prince yesterday. truckers are struggling with diesel prices. their concerns as costs continue to climb, coming up. this may be my favorite of the day. the deep space discovery, the

heartbeat sounds that have astronomers all aflutter. >> aflutter. >> i know. do you see what i did there? ♪ good morning and welcome to your "new day." it is july 16th. you know, boris, it may be a saturday in the summer, but it's a busy saturday in the summer with the president's trip overseas and all these new revelations about the jan 67 committee. >> there is a lot going on. we're going to take you there. first there's concern over the text going add ups sent the day before and during the insurrection that were deleted. they issued a subpoena after meeting with the inspect e general. this is the first time they have

subpoenaed an agency in the executive branch. >> earlier this week the government watchdog accused the secret service of erasing those text messages after the office requested them, but the secret service said they were deleted simply as part of a device replacement program. >> i will say that the explanation that you have to factory set and eliminate your data without backing up your data just seems -- i'm skeptical. i mean i wouldn't do that. the argument about when the request was made is largely irrelevant. the secret service was aware that this was one of the signature events of our country and that there would be a need to preserve all of the evidence because of that. also, there's an obligation for federal agencies to retain records. so this is troubling, but

they've said they've got the texts, and the committee intends to get them all asap. >> we're going the have more on the jan 6 committee coming up. but let's get right to wolf blitzer in saudi arabia. wolf, apparently president biden is about to deliver some remarks? >> he's meeting with leaders of the gg c3 plus iraq, georgia, and egypt. leaders from there have come here as well. getting a live look from saudi tv here. it's very, very important. mohammad bin salman is speaking right now, the crown prince of saudi arabia. he's speaking at the ggc. president biden has made it clear. he wants to revitalize the relationship with saudi arabia. that's why he met with mbs,

mohammad bin salman, yesterday. that's why he emerged yesterday and made a statement to the media and talked about the achievements he called forthcoming in saudi arabia. this is the last day of his trip to the region. he'll be heading back to washington over the weekend. he's got a lot going on certainly back home, but he's got a lot going to on in the middle east as well, meeting with key middle east leaders ranging from security to economics to human rights. once again he met with the president of the united emirates. moments ago the leaders posed for what's called the so-called family photo. but it's president biden's interaction with the saudi crown prince mohammad bin salman that has been looming large since the entire summit. he said he confronted the crown prince and said he was behind the killing of "the washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi. he said the leader once again

known as mbs once again denied it. the president was also criticized for the so-called fist bump during the first visit with the crown prince in quite a while. the saudi prince wasted no time promoting the image on saudi tv and elsewhere, releasing a lot of photos at the same time. the trip comes as the president is dealing with fallout from high gas prices and soaring inflation back home. that's certainly playing in these discussions in the middle east. the biden administration says steps saudi arabia is taking and will take in the coming days, he says, will drive down oil prices and provide some relief. yesterday he said that relief should be come wng a week or sour. our chief white house correspondent is following me, kaitlan collins. kaitlan, it's clear the president has a lot going on. the stakes in the u.s. are

enormous. >> absolutely. he's working to restore his image on the world stage following the death of journalist jamal khashoggi. when we spoke with officials before going to the trip, what did president biden seek to gain with someone he once vowed was a pariah. they talked about security, they talked about oil, and a lot of the issues the leaders are discussing today in addition to the iran. you ask what do the saudis get. it's rehabilitation for mbs, the meeting with president biden and the photos. that's why the saudis were so quick to act on that. he's walking away, mbs, as this is helping his world image on the big stage. what is the president working on and having conversations with these leaders because he downplayed the fact he was meeting with mbs on this.

we're about to hear from president biden not long after the saudi crown prince stops speaking. president biden will lay out his vision for the middle east. that will be notable in and of itself. this was an administration who tried to move their foreign policy away from the middle east. they saw other administrations get bogged down with this. they wanted to move away and focus on china and russia ever since the ukraine invasion happened. now you're seeing president biden realizing they need the middle east to a degree. they want to make sure they're shoring up the stance in the region. that's why he's meeting with the leader he basically said he would keep at arm's length because of the murder of the journalist. that's been the backdrop. >> as we wait to hear from the president of the united states, i want to bring in an an all sivgts a guest. i want to bring in the director of -- he was -- he's currently

the director of middle east security initiative at the think tank in washington. he's also a former deputy intelligence officer at the national intelligence council in washington as well. jonathan, kaitlan and i have some questions for you. thanks so much for joining us. how important are these talks that are underway? what's your analysis, and specifically what's to come as far as gas prices are concerned because that's certainly hovering over these talks as far as the u.s. is concerned? >> well, thanks so much for having me, wolf. i'm thrilled to be here. the reality is this summit was not going to be able fro deuce meaningful changes if gas prices. they have very, very limited spare capacity themselves. on the other happened, there may be a little bit four ta'u does timing here. commodity prices may be dropping across the bore.

the president may see a correlation when he gets back to the u.s. with fallen prices continuing. that obviously would be positive for him politically. >> how much of an economic and difficult minefield, jonathan, is president biden walking with this visit to saudi arabia? did he have no choice but to come here? how important is this trip? hold on a second, jonathan. we'll get back to you in a moment. but let's listen to the president. >> i'd like to thank our saudi host for invited the united states to join this summit and for the hospitality welcoming all of us. a great deal has changed since i visited this region when i served as vice president of the united states, both on the world stage and in the middle east. around the world we're seeing efforts to undermine a rules-based order. with china's increasing actions in the pacific and beyond and russia invoking war against ukraine, with iran's

destabilizing activities here in the middle east, we've also seen critical changes. for the first time since 911, an american president is visiting this region without american troops being engaged in combat and a combat in the region. we'll always honor the bravery and selflessness of the -- and sacrifices of the americans who served, including my son, major beau biden, who was stationed in iraq for a year. and we'll never forget the memory of the 57,000 troops who served in iraq, afghanistan, and elsewhere over the last two decades. but today i'm proud to say the area of land wars in the region, wars involving huge numbers of american forces is now underway. but we maintain the capacity around determination to protest the terrorist threat wherever we

find it. we've demonstrated that year, eliminating devices, a daring operation just this week, taking out another key leader of isis. we're going to continue our counterterrorism of efforts including everyone around this table. and we will turn our attention and our resources to is up poring our partners, strengthening our alliances, and building coalitions to solve the problems facing this region of the world and the world today. the united states is clear-eyed about the challenges in the middle east and about where we have the greatest capacity to help drive positive outcomes. our objectives are focused on -- excuse me. are focused, realistic, and achievable so we can far get our resources, rebuild trust and deliver results p and we'll operate in the middle east as it is today.

a region more united than it has been for years. the g fw c is a prime example of that. former rivals, reestablished diplomatic ties, new memberships are being formged, and middle east is seeing the lands as opening an opportunity. let me state clearly that the united states is going to remain an active and engaged partner in the middle east. as the world grows more competitive and the challenges we face more complex, it's only becoming clear to me how closely woven middle east is. we will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by china, russia, or iran. we'll seek to build on this moment with active principled american leadership. our new framework for the middle

east has five key principles, and i'd like to very briefly share them with you today. first t united states will support and strengthen partnerships with countries that subscribe to the rules-based international order, and we'll make sure that those countries can defend themselves against foreign threats. the united states and each of the countries around this table are avenge part of the order. when the entire fw gc plus egypt and jordan voted to condemn russia's invasion of ukraine, it was a watershed moment. it showed that the core values of sovereignty and integrity are truly universal. i want to be clear, supporting a rules-based order doesn't mean we always have to agree on every issue, but it does mean we're

relying on core principals allowing us to work together on pressing challenges. for example, on food security, we're collectively committing billions to alleviate the crisis here in the region with more than $1 billion coming from the united states. we agree on the need to ensure adequate supplies to meet global needs. nerm producers have already increased production, and i look forward to seeing what's coming in the coming months. on the clie mass crisis, we're collecting 00 dlet with increasing our climate ambition. and working toerkts diverse faiz our subpoena ply change. we're looking forward to the next climate conferences. second, the united states will not allow, will not allow

foreign regional powers to jeopardize the freedom of navigation through the middle east's waterways, including the straits s straits. nor will bewii tolerate efforts of any countryuountry through o events. it's a live blood of global kmichlt that's as true today as it's been for decades. what nations adhere to international rules at work, so my administration has made it a priority to protect those vital waterways. we've established new naval tachc forces to work in partnership with many of your navies to help secure the red sea. that includes the first navel task force to use multi-man surface vessels and technology to enhance maritime awareness.

we're also integrating air defenses and early warning systems too inchur we don't receive air raid threats the. fourth, they'll not just work in one area. we'll work to reduce tensions and conflicts everywhere possible. this approach is already reaping dividends. as i mentioned, working in yemen, working close were, we. we've welcomed the leadership of iraq's economy to bring people from the region together for talks in baghdad. thanks to months of quiet persistent diplomacy, we helped revise an agreement to rule peace keepers and transform an era that once sparked wars into

the future hub of peaceful tourism and economic development. and as we continue to work closely with many of you to counter the threats posed in the region by i rarng we're also pursuing diplomacy to return constraints on i rachb's knew claur program. the united states is committed to ensuring iran never gets another nuclear when. fourth. thes will look at it wherever possible, while respecting these countries' sovereignty an independent choice. these are the underlying themes of our meeting today. how many years have we been trying to connect iraq's electricity to the ggc grids? i remember being briefed on it

in 2016-inch when i was vice president of the united states. i said p let's get it done. well, today, finally after the fierce efforts and false starts, it's done. new energy projects affecting the region, a new trade deal like the saudi investments between them, the more we build these connections, the more we'll see the benefits that return to our people and see it grow. foundational freedoms are foundational to who we are as americans. it's in our dna. but it's also because we know that failure drp this -- that will be there.

they'd build stronger economist and resume its societies and more mod rp and capability fa sits. whether i've gotten plenty of criticism over the years. it eats no fun. the ability is who locks information. accountable institutions that are free from corruption, that act transparently, and reflect the rule of law are the best way to deliver growth, respond to people's needs, and, i believe, ensure justice. no country gets it right all the time, even most of the time, including the united states. le our people, our strength, our countries so we can learn mistakes.

f p metlet me conclude in one sentence. the united states is looking at building a possible active few turf in the rhyme including all of you. the united states is not going anywhere. this is a table full of. problem solvers. ing that you again for inviting me, and thank you for our partnership with the united states. god protect our troops. thank you. the big picture from president biden, speaking hear in jeddah, saudi arabia, at the opening session of the ssg. other gulf states, arab states in the gulf as well as three members not of the ggc also participating, egypt, jordan, and iraq.

they're per tase. the last leave from the president's opening remarks not going anywhere. he clearly said in his earlier remarngs, if the u.s. were to completely with draw t volume would be fill eed by it. >> that's what the president said, yes it came at a cost. it's remark tobl see the two sitting next to each other given the comments he mees's made about him. he's never spoken to hamilton since taping ape. he said the u.s. were losing ground and it was a chance for china and russia to fill that

background. that's of concern for some of the leaders here. president biden has turned his eye toward china and return, addressing those issues. he said the united states will remain active and engaged the region. it was a clear message. that's why he stated the united states is not going never. of course there are a lot offishes do well withism much of it, the reality isset ienl going to be filled with dchl the affective leader o. john is with us. he's now with the atlanta council, a think tank in washington. what did you think of the president's remark, jonathan? >> i thought they hit the mark. the banner on your screen says it correctly.

this trip was fundamentally about resetting the relationship. there were not going to be huge gains that were going to be made in any specific area. this was about setting a new laid bine. the united states and the broader role coming up can work fill. there's really an expansion that includes investment and infrastructure across the world that the saudis helped. i think it was a helpful frachling by the president. thou this is a bit of a question. where do they go from here? >> that is an interesting question. so four he's had two calls.

when the white house was coming to this committee meeting, they were downplaying they were going to be meeting with mbs. he kind of framed it, yes, mts. do you think going forward is there attemptling this? houchbty u thing i be increase the the communication, i don't think they should have been. obviously leader for leader, there's no replacement for that. i do think this should help set the stage for a broader relationship between president biden and mohammad bin salman, but at the end of the day, the truth is also that right now the focus is going to turn to

russia, is going to turn back to china. these are the primary strategic challenges the united states is facing right now. what this demonstrates and reminds folks, in order to face the challenges. the u.s. needs it. the russians and ukrainians have a huge amount of grain. there's going to be a huge grain shortage, wheat shortage, probably into winter, and so whatever the u.s. can do to work with the saudis to push the russians and ukrainians to allow the food to go folk is going to be hue miltd across the region. >> how much do you think the iran nuclear threat is hovering over all of these countries right now?

we know they're dime bill regard as a lee even mass that. >> it's a little irironic. many were forceful in pushing the trump administration. now that iran is actually closer to a nuclear weapon, what you're seeing is the same countries are enhancing their bilateral and diplomatic exchanges with iran because they're concerned about being attacked. i think it's haiming over everything. one thing you'll see is a base line to see whether or not you can start an agreement for a defensive coalition that would exist, maybe air and maritime coalition, that would integrate all of the gulf states, maybe

even israel, to counter iran in the future. that's going to take some time. it's not going to happen immediately. there's a lot of diplomatic issues, a lot of hardware issues to wok out. my sense this was hard to have those discussions. there's a balance to be had. >> i think it's true. it's moving closer and closer. jonathan, thank you so much. we're watching what's going on at the ggc summit. kaitlan and i will be right back. much more of our special cover raj coming u up. to relieve occasional nerve aches, weaeakness and discomfor. try nervivenerve relelief.

up the price of everything, and that's diesel fuel. >> that's because the majority of goods in the u.s. are transported by trucks, which run on diesel, and as cnn's ryan young reports, that means truck drivers are in this pretty unique position of spotting economic headwinds before anybody else. >> reporter: just off i-80 in iowa, it's hard to miss. it's the largest gathering of american truck drivers in the country. drivers here are telling us they're facing challenge after challenge from loss of friends to covid to supply chain shortages to high aermer and hi consumer prices. diesel prices have risen more than 50% so far this year. >> you can't expect the people to keep paying and paying and paying. they're going to run out of money eventually. then what are you going to do?

>> many said orders are getting canceled and demand is slowing. for some t outlook for the next few months is grim. >> i think this he's a fear out there that's being placed. we've got to find a way to get fuel prices back and get back to business. >> reporter: it's tremendous. you think about 72% of the goods in this country are moved by truck. that has a ripple effect. it's moved throughout this country by truck alone. >> i can't say i can blame one person for it all. >> reporter: bill abbott owns a farm. he believes change is needed. >> it takes a leader who can grab the bull by the horns, but the economy's such now we need a leader that's going to grab the bull by the balls. i've never seen anything like it. i used to have savings, we made

money, we wasn't on trips, and i didn't spend much. now i'm spending a lot and i'm losing all my savings. >> keep right on going. >> reporter: terry and ald am own as small company that makes products for small semitruck as and they say there's no alternative but to push through hard times. >> just because times get hard, they still work hard and fight their way out of a hole. >> reporter: the biden administration says it sees and hears the plight of the drivers and helps to address the shortage. it's wanting to get them help and raising concerns from road times to delivery points. for some, it can't happen soon enough. >> the other administration wasn't like this. is that a false economy? i think this is. hopefully things will cycle out. i don't know. >> boris and kristin, they were

happy about the economy. they also were focused on infrastructure plans that could be coming into place in the next few years. they said it's something they all need to watch, especially if they want to keep these trucks rolling on the road. >> ryan young, thank you for that report. join drew griffin for a new investigation into steve bannon and his master plan to reshape the american government and the republican party. cnn's special report "divided we fall" begins tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. and we are be e right back. betwtween the high interest, the fees... i felt trapped. debt, debt, debt. so i broke up with my y credit card debt and consolidated it into a low-rate personal loan from sofi. i finally feel like a grown-up. break up with bad credit card debt. get a personal loan with no fees, low fixed rates, and borrow up to $100k. go to sofi.com to view your rate. sofi. get your money right.

influke of calls. the new number nationwide today actually, is designed to make it easier for those in a crisis to reach out for help, but the federal agency in charge of this hotline expects the number of callers to double from what it was? 2020. joining me now is dr. john draper, the chief officer of the 988 suicide and crisis lifeline. drchl dr. draper, thank you so much for joining us as this hotline, new number, becomes available to everyone. i'd like to ask you about some of the numbers. the prevention line received 3.6 million calls and chats in 20. that's a lot. government officials say that number this year could more than double. why is that? >> well, the reason for having a three-digit number is so it's easier to remember and easier to dial. the entire idea is to make this life-saving service more accessible to everyone.

so the more accessible it is, the more people are bound to use it. we do expect over the coming year, certainly even today, we're going to have more contacts. >> well, certainly this number, 988, is going to be a lot easier for folks to remember as opposed to the 1-800 number, which it was before. back to my original question, dr. draper, i'm curious. the government officials are expecting a number of people who are going to call to double from 2020. can you help us understand why this hotline is expecting to see a surge in callers? >> it's not that more people are suffering now. that's not the reason we're going the have more calls. again, it's going to be easier for people to contact. for us, the idea is to make sure that this is a service that is accessible to everyone and that people feel listened to, understood, and responded to in

moments of crisis. we do expect there's going to be more people calling this weekend and over the coming months. >> this new system, it can really only be successful, right, if there's somebody on the other end to pick up when somebody called. somebody isn't going to wait on hold for 15 minutes. you do think you have enough people in place to pick up these calls? >> well, the federal government and states have actually provided an unprecedented amount of funding for historically underfunded resource service. it's been around since 195. many have been doing it for decades. we know how to help people, but we've just not had the adequate number of resources for years. so with the precedent amount of funding we received from the federal ending, again, about $177 million has been received

by our organization that we've been using to assist us in our backup centers the make sure every call is answered. meanwhile the states have been funding with a $500 million grant from the federal government, plus their local resources. so they've been providing local resources to their centers and getting them ready in a way never before. we feel pretty confident this weekend moving out. i can't say no one is going to wait, but i can say if you wait and hold on, you're going to get help from someone who's trained and who will help you through the project. the trevor project, a suicide organization, he described this num nums ber and system as a watershed moment. he's strongly in favor of it. he also told cnn the implementation may not be ready. do you think this hotline is ready today? >> as noted, this is a new

number. it's not a new service. so our counselors have been accustomed to doing a lot. finally we have a lot more. i do believe we're going to be ready to respond to people if we can just hold on. we do know from research when people do connect with us. we are effective in reducing emotional distress and suicidality. the more people who do connect with us t more lives are going to be saved. >> dr. john draper, thank you so much. if you feel like you need to call this hotline, remember that new hotline is 988. and we'll be right back. the daday of the heart attack, i was scared. i didn't know what to do. learning that my daughter had a heart attack really shook me. it brings home

stunning discovery deep sounds very similar to a heart beat and it's just the latest in what has been, if i do say so myself, a very exciting week in space news. >> space enthusiasts joining us to discuss is an astro good morning, good to view you. >> who is sending these heart beats from space. >> let's clear up the heart beat notion. heart beats come in two. this comes in threes. >> okay. >> all right. >> so an alien heart beat. >> it's a pulse, right?

>> i'm thinking of the flow or if you're older, the bertha boogie baseline. when you see something as periodic in nature, when you see something fast, it's small. so we already have a candidate for what this could be. >> okay. >> and the answer is much more mundane than aliens but still, pretty fantastic. okay? and that's a nutron star. >> if it is a neutron starks, what does this mean? why are scientists excited about this? >> neutron stars are some of the most exotic things in the universe. we think of it as two things. there is the core and what surrounds that, the envelope. when stars die, they get rid of the envelope. stars do so gently, massive stars do it explosively like super nova but the core is left behind so the neutron star is the core of a dead massive star

and the matter is unlike anything that we can create on earth so it allows us to study matter in extreme conditions, allows us to study fields like electric and magnaetic field an gravity and space time. >> we can learn all of that just by the pulse, essentially, right? >> it helps. there is timing measurements you can make. what we're seeing is a process we were unfamiliar with. so every time, yeah. >> we're learning a lot from the james webb telescope. stunning. >> under statement. you blow a telescope under the water. you said something. >> this is something astronomers have been waiting for for decades. i mean, american taxpayers poured about $10 billion -- >> see, you had go there. >> -- into this telescope. >> it wasn't cheap. >> look at this image here and compare the clarity of it to what hubble was able to take. first of all, what did you think

of these images when you first saw them? they were a tightly guarded secret. >> far better than expected. >> really? >> oh, man. you hear about it. you have this anticipation, is it going to be hype, is it going to live up to expectation? so much of science is incremental progress. this is a massive leap forward. >> help us understand why. i heard this webb telescope described as a time machine of sorts. >> right. everything is a time machine. light is leaving me traveling to you so you have to wait some tiny fraction of a second to see me so you never see things as they really are. when you start talking distances, it's taking light years, thousands of years, billions of years. nothing is as it seems. so really, when you look at the universe at this scale, it's a completely different reality and ideas like distance that we're accustomed to here on earth, throw that out of your mind.

it doesn't exist how we're accustomed to it. >> all the people working on the webb telescope are breathing a sigh of relief this week. >> absolutely. >> now that these photos have been released. this is only the beginning. >> that is the crazy thing. >> right? it's at least 20 years ahead of it now so now that we've seen just these very first initial images, what's next? >> yeah, what's next i'll tell you one thing i'm excited for that we haven't seen yet, and that is webb has an instrument on its craamera which allows ito block out the light from stars so now it looks at forming plantarry systems, right? you can get the debris disks and maybe image these extra solar planets. it will allow webb to study the planet and light and maybe determine if those are planets that have bio signature mo molecules in the atmospheres. >> hakim, you reigned on my

parade when you said the heart beat was not aliens. when i talk to someone of your caliber, are we alone? >> man, i assume we're not. if you look how early life got started on earth, wherever you have liquid, chances are you're going to get simple life forming. it started so fast on earth and under hellish conditions. here is the thing, earth is special. we have a transparent atmosphere and a strong magnetic field that protects us from radiation so light hitting the surface of the planet for billions of years taught our light how to do p photosynthesis that taught us oxygen and that process took 4 billion years to get to multi cellar animals. atmospheres come in one of two types, super thick like venus or titan or absent like the moon or mercury so simple life, probably

all over the place, complex life, probably incredibly rare. >> and maybe the webb telescope some day could help answer your question. >> absolutely. >> hakim, we really appreciate the time. thank you. >> thank you for having me. "new day" continues after a short break. stay with us. dad, when is the future? um, oh wow. um, the future is, uh, what's ahead of us. i don't get it. yeah. maybe this will help. so now we're in the present. and now... we're in the future.
