4:01 am
secret service exchanged texts on the and around the date of january 6th. what we're learning and why they weren't saved. more than 85 million people under heat alerts today, and mother nature is only cranking up the heat as we go through the weekend. where we can see dozens of records set for tomorrow. and the white house says president biden's covid symptoms have improved, but we still haven't heard directly from his doctor how he's doing. we'll be joined live by dr. anthony fauci this hour for an update. good morning to you and welcome to your "new day." it is saturday, july 23rd. food to b good to be with you, alex. >> good to be with you, amara. we haven't done this in a while. >> no, we haven't.
4:02 am
we begin with the latest on the fallout of the january 6th commission hearing. >> it's about donald trump's refusal to call after the attack on the capitol. 187 minutes, donald trump watched televised carnage at the capitol while refusing pleas from everyone around him to call for an end to the violence. we saw and heard new disturbing video and audio that showed the danger that was faced by vice president mike pence and his security detail as they tried to get him to safety. a witness testified that pence's security detail was so concerned that they made calls to their loved ones. >> the committee played outtakes showing donald trump talking about the riot the next day. listen. >> and for those who broke the law, you will pay. you do not represent our movement. you do not represent our
4:03 am
country. and if you broke the law -- i can't say that. i'm not -- i already said you will pay. but this election is now over. congress has certified the results. i don't want to say the election's over. >> well, the hearing ended with a direct message from the panel's vice chair liz cheney to voters. >> a president who is willing to make the choices donald trump made during the violence of january 6th ever be trusted with any position of authority in our great nation again. >> when the january 6th committee resumes its hearings in september, some key evidence will be missing. we're talking about text messages from secret service agents at the time of the insurrection. cnn's whitney wild has more. >> reporter: two sources tell cnn 24 secret service agents whose text messages were requested by the attorney general last year, ten had
4:04 am
metadata that shows text messages were exchanged around january 5th and 6th, 2021, but the data was lost due to a migration that started after that. another ten of those agents had no text messages at all. three had only personal text messages, and one person did save a text message exchange. the big question had been what was the secret service doing to try to find these text messages, and for several days they had been conducting a rigorous probe at the request of the house committee saying you must find these records and conduct a rigorous investigation. and what the secret service had told the house select committee in a letter on july 19th was that investigators had planned to conduct forensic exams of any available devices used by the identified individuals and any follow-up in locations that were not already searched by the secret service. however, those efforts are now
4:05 am
at a standstill because the inspector general for the department of homeland security has launched a criminal probe and has told the secret service to stop investigating. in washington, i'm whitney wild. >> all right, whitney. thank you for that. so the select committee hearings are increasing pressure on the justice department to bring charges against officials in the trump white house or donald trump himself. >> we've proven different components of a criminal case against donald trump or people around him in every hearing, and i think taken in totality, this represents the greatest effort to overturn the will of the people to conspire against the will of the people and to conspire against american democracy that we've ever had, frankly, since the civil war. so, yeah, i think we've proven that. it's up to justice now to make a decision. >> joining me now is former u.s. attorney michael moore. good to see you, michael.
4:06 am
do you agree with what kinzinger had to say? did the committee's case so far make it more likely trump could face criminal charges? >> well, i'm glad to be with you this morning. ant i don't mean to be sort of a wet blanket on the committee, but let me tell you that their work is continuing, and they still have some things they're going to have to prove. what i heard in great detail is a lot of things that should have been considered in our view during the impeachment trial, and that is whetherer not the three hours and seven minutes of delay was somehow a violation of trump's role as a president. was he derelict in his duty, was is a misfeasance not to call people. we're looking at his direct intent specifically an communicating to other people. let me explain why i say that. there's testimony from pat cipollone. you know, he's deemed sort of the darling right now of the democrats as they talk about trump and what's going on and they want to rely completely on
4:07 am
his testimony. they also said -- this had not been played publicly. he said trump honestly believed that the election was stolen. if that's the case, the's going to be a little bit of a hurdle as they talk about current crimes like the conspiracy to commit fraud in the united states. one of the things you would have to show is that the president had the intent to do that by honestly believing he was committing a crime. you don't get around the element of intent. there's a lot of clamor, a lot of discussion, a lot of requests for the department to move fast. i'm sure merrick garland is thinking about these things and the ramification of things. >> excuse me for cutting you off. there's a lot about intent, to prove intent to have a criminal case. i'm just curious. you mentioned pat cipollone who was a white house counsel at the time, and he told the committee he had no knowledge of trump
4:08 am
placing any calls to the law enforcement, mill to reply to it. you heard from mark milley who testified during his closed door deposition that was videotaped and then shown that he was absolutely astonished, that he never heard from donald trump but the vice president mike pence. does the inaction speak to intent, the fact that he refused to act? >> you can derive intent from circumstantial evidence, i mean that is true, but the question is the fact that he was allowsy president or a failure of a president during that 187 minutes and beyond, some people will argue, but especially during that 187 minutes. is that failure of him to do his presidential duties as commander in chief, does that make him a criminal? that's going to be the hurdle. that's going to be what they have to prove. remember, it's very easy to charge people. you know the old story that a good pros cutter can indict a
4:09 am
ham sandwich in front of a grand jury. so it's easy to charge people, but your prosecutor, good prosecutor is going to be thinking can i prove this beyond a reasonable doubt at trial, and the ramifications or implications for charging a president for conduct while he was president of the united states, those are serious and a great concerns that the prosecution will be thinking about, and i think that's what's going on within the walls of the department of justice right now. >> there seems to have been a lot of circumstantial evidence presented over the past eight days. when you talk about direct evidence, speaking to intent, give me an example. like you need to see a text message or email saying this election, 100%s, was stolen? because he said that many times on twitter and in other avenues. >>le well, remember, you have the white house counsel saying he actually said he believed it
4:10 am
was stolen. to express that, he has a constitutional right to have a belief about it. it may be completely irrational and unfounded, but he's expression what even his lawyer said at the time was his actual belief about it. we often think about intent being shown by direct witness statements, by emails, by letter, those things that say, hey, i wanted to do x, y, z. the person at the top often doesn't say anything. you're seeing that here. you're seeing that they don't have -- just yet, they don't have this direction evidence. they're using circumstantial evidence to talk about trump's intent, but they have these underlings who were communicating. you lawyers, people filing
4:11 am
hole-y things. that's what the prosecution is res wrestling with right now. we have a political process, an impeachment process, that's to vote the acquit him. i disagree with that. i thought the case was proven at that stage, but that's where we're at. we may see more evidence when the hearings resume in september. i appreciate you joining us, michael moore. thank you so much. >> great to be with you, thank you. former trump advise err steve bannon could soon be headed to prison after less than three hours of deliberations. a federal jury handed down a guilty verdict in his criminal contempt trial. cnn's sara murray has more. >> reporter: amara and alex, a jury here finding steve bannon, donald trump's longtime alley, guilty on two counts of contempt of congress for failing to show
4:12 am
up before the house select committee investigating january 6th, and failing to turn over any documents. they did not buy into him saying the date of the subpoena was flexible. instead they went along with the prosecution's view of the case. if you get a subpoena, you have to show up. they argue he valued his allegiance to trump more than he val valued the law of the court. in the meantime his attorneys have already said they plan to appeal. officer rah murray, cnn, washington. we could see record-highs across parts of the country this weekend, and it's not just the u.s. cities around the world are really feeling it at well.
4:13 am

morning more than 85 million are facing heat warnings, and many could see new temperatures set all across the country. >> officials are now urging people to take precautions when outdoors as local leaders take steps to help their residents cope with the oppressive conditions. >> reporter: the national weather service predicting the dangerous july heatwave is far from subsiding. after blistering the south, forecasters believe the
4:18 am
temperatures will soar above normal for this time of year. >> i sat outside since 4:00 this morning. >> too hot. >> reporter: it's prompting various heat alerts in the northeast corridor throughout the weekend including in boston and new york where the forecast is calling for a high at or near 100 degrees in the city on sunday. >> we're entering an extended heatwave. we're concerned about, you know, the consecutive one day after the next of high temperature, high heat. >> reporter: a similar weekend in store for parts of the southwest with daytime temperatures in some areas likely to exceed 100 degrees. in all, 85% of americans will see temperatures above 90 degrees over the next week. arizona officials report at least 29 people died from heat-related issues since march. dallas recorded its first associated death, a 66-year-old woman with underlying health conditions. all across the country authorities are asking people to
4:19 am
take caution, stay indoors, and checking on the most vulnerable. >> don't think you're invincible because of your age or fitness level. everybody could suck come to the heat. there's nobody who's immune. >> reporter: the heat has only compounded drought conditions out west. lake mead is at its lowest level since 1937. it's the source of water that millions across several states and tribal lands. compared to 2000, a recent photograph shows what may be the worst drought in nearly 12 centuries. the heat in the u.s. continues to be matched by deadly summer conditions overseas. authorities in spain estimated more than 510 heat-wave-related death this week. heat temperatures melted the roof of a museum in china. and covid workers are trying to keep from sweating in their suits. operations at a london airport
4:20 am
were temporarily suspended to repair a small section of runway damaged by the summer sun and the heat adding to wildfire concerns. 19 european countries are in extreme dangerous alerts. they're wants to reduce those attending the triathlon. they have shortened both the cycling and running portions of it. there are similar concerns in the city of boston where city officials decided to simply postpone the event to next month, simply citing historic conditions. polo sandoval, cnn, new york. >> our thanks to polo for that report. joining me now is the direct of climate science. thank you for joining us. we know climate change is
4:21 am
happening. is that the only factor you are contributing to all of these different heatwaves that we're seeing not just here in the united states but around the world? >> one of the signature fingerprints of climate change is the more extreme heatwaves, so, you know, we've had heatwaves over the eons. what's really remarkable is how long they're persisting, how dangerous they are that don't have infrastructure that protect them in this type of temperature. when you're talking about that high a temperature, that's an extreme event. for the first time the uk office recorded that temperature in several places in the uk. >> when you see temperatures like that in the uk, the temperatures all across the united states, the pace and the scale of what we've seen over
4:22 am
the past few days and weeks, does that mean that climate change is happening faster than what had been predicted? >> unfortunately this is all in line with the climate assessments we have been studying. as cry mat scientists, we know this is happening and we're expecting these types of temperatures. what we didn't expect is some of these high triple-digit numbers coming out of this heatwave. and what's disturbing is that people underestimate that anyone, as your story shows, can sub kuc to heatwaves. in fact, in many places in the northern hemisphere, it's just too hot to work outside during certain parts of the day, and we have to recognize that with climate change of this level is too dangerous in the northern hemisphere and certain parts of the day for people to be working
4:23 am
outside, and that is something we aren't adapting to because we can't lose any life. they're temporary, they're dangerous but we can do better. >> some officials have talked about adapting. is that possible? is that what you expect people to do? >> well, we're seeing that unforun form -- unfortunately there's loss of life due to the heatwave. we can do better about that. for example, if you're working outside, you can do shift work in the evening and in cooler hours or in the morning. so those types of adaptations aren't happening. it's pretty disturbing to see that the women's tour de france is happening after the men's tour de france, going in the hotter part of the season. these types of adaptations for the temperatures in parns are when you're experting that much
4:24 am
energy, it's very hard for the human body to cool off if you can't evaporate into the air that is basic ally -- you're no losing the heat the way you need to. that's why it's very dangerous. president biden has not been as successful as he would have liked with challenges from the of his own parties like joe rs manchin from west virginia. can the world make progress and get to where it needs to be, meeting those crucial benchmarks that have been so clearly laid out without the united states? >> the united states is really key because historically we're the largest contributor to the level of global warming we have today. right now we're the second largest emitter after china for
4:25 am
current level of emissions. so dot lots of as in the united states is critical for the world and also ourselves because many people -- the equities of who is bearing the burden of these heatwaves, who's most at risk, who can recover, who has access to health care, who has access to air-conditioning, who has access to cooling centers is really heterogenius, and that's where the climate changes are exacerbated during the danks heatwaves is just one example. >> we all need to heed the warnings and heed them together by you and your colleagues. dr. ekwurzel, thank you very much for your time this morning. >> thank you. chief medical officer dr. anthony fauci will discuss how

this morning the white house says president biden is keeping business in isolation. according to the physician, he's improving but taking additional medications for his temperature and cough. and they're using his breakthrough infection to get all americans vaccinated or boosted for covid-19 as cases are continuing climb nationwide amid a summer surge. >> i think what we're seeing across the country is when people are vaccinated, they tend to have far less serious illness. this virus is going to be with us forever. it's really, really important that people build up their
4:31 am
immunity against this virus. >> here with me now is chief medical adviser to president biden and director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases dr. anthony fauci. good to see you this morning, and thanks for joining us. first off, how is the president doing, how is he feeling, when did you speak with him last? >> he's doing very well. i haven't spoken very closely to the president, but i'm in very close contact with dr. kevin o'connor, who's the primary physician to the president. i spoke with dr. o'connor last night at 10:00 to get an update. just as you said and heard, the president continues to improve. we have every reason to believe he will do well for the obvious reason he's double vaccinated and is on an antiviral drug and is on a good track. he's doing very well and continues to improve. >> what kind of symptoms is he
4:32 am
continuing to experience right now? i understand he's also taking an inhaler. is he having any breathing issues? >> no, no, not at all. i think we want to make sure we put things into context. he has an upper respiratory infection right now. having a runny nose, being someone who has a history of getting colds that has nothing to do with covid. he has asthma, and he uses a bronco dilator to breathe well. he has no trouble breathing at all right now. i think that would be a misinterpretation to say that. that's something he does regularly when he gets an upper respiratory infection. >> i just wanted to clarify that. thanks, dr. fauci. as you know, the white house officials are not happy that dr. o'connor who's been treating president biden wasn't able to answer questions from the media. will he be here at some point?
4:33 am
why haven't we heard from him? i know he sent a letter out friday. >> that's a department communications decision. i can't speak the that. i've spoken with dr. o'connor. why he's not in front of the tv, you'll have to ask the communications people that. correct me if i'm wrong. ba.5 is the most contagious form, although, there's evidence it's not a more severe disease. cases are surging, and i feel like i know so many people who have covid right now or had it in recent weeks. during this time we've seen dr. biden in meetings without a mask indoors. considering biden's age, shouldn't the president and white house at the very least if not the country go back to masking and social distancing considering the surge that we're seeing? >> well, you have two questions there. first, when the president visits, goes to different countries, he respects the
4:34 am
conditions and traditions of what they're doing in that particular country. with regard now to the united states as you heard, we are in a difficult situation because with ba.5, which is a highly contagious virus, we're seeing an uptick in cases. when you look at the color map that the cdc puts out, it's gone from just a few weeks or a month ago to being green and yellow. now there's a lot of yellow, orange, and some red there, which means cases are going up, hospitalizations are going up, and we still have about 300 to 400 deaths per day, which is an unacceptably high level. that's why we continue to emphasize the importance of people getting vaccinated. and if you're due for a boost, get boosted. and if you live in a jurisdiction, a county or state where you have a high dynamic of infection and the cdc recommends the use of masks in an indoor
4:35 am
setting, we should do that. we should do the things we have, the interventions that we have to prevent infection and to prevent us to progress to severe disease if we do get infected. it's the utilization of tools we have. those are the kind of things that are going to prevent us from having an even greater number of cases than we already have. >> what exactly -- dr. o'connor did say in that letter that president biden is being monitored closely. what exactly are doctors monitoring over the next few days? >> you just do the kinds of things you do that i do with my patients. you come in, examine their chest, make everything is okay with their breathing. do oxygen saturation to make sure there's not an increase. you monitor their body, their vital signs. it's the routine thing. that's what they mean. it's routine. they do that all the time when
4:36 am
you have patients with disease like. this there's nothing special about this. >> sure, sure. and mr. biden will be leaving isolation once he's testified, is that correct? >> that is correct, that is correct. >> that's not the cdc guidance, though, right? if the president is testing to get out of isolation, why not urge the same for all americans to do what the president will be doing and perhaps update the cdc guidance? >> well, i'll leave that to the cdc. let me skplachblt people have different circumstances in their lives, and it may be very difficult sometimes for people to have the access to keep testing before they can go back or to be out for the entire ten days or some people need to put a mask on and get back to work because of their social or e economic status. it's really the homojen ati. the president is tested every
4:37 am
day and waiting till he tests negative before he goes back, but that doesn't mean everyone has to do that. >> dr. fauci, thank you for joining us this morning. thanks forrure time. >> my pleasure. good to be with you. >> really interesting interview there, thank you, amara. now, it's a community that seemed to dodge the worst of the pandemic's economic effects, but in lansing, michigan, there's cautious optimism about what lies ahead. we'll have that story next. ♪ ♪ "shake your thang" by salt n pepa

than $700. she then presented it to the head of a foundation that buys equipment for the military. a celebrity and activist whom valaria calls her hero. he broke down in tears. she says that at first people hesitated to play her. then, as they watched her beat everyone, more and more stepped up to try their luck. >> have you ever lost any of the games while you've been doing this? >> translator: i've never lost here, she says. word quickly spread about the young champion doing her part for her country. when this man heard from his wife that valaria was playing nearby, he quickly left work and ran over. she is already a legend here, he says. he would rather lose to her. she's doing a great job helping the ukrainian army. she's probably touched the whole of ukraine. other kids from her checkers club have followed her lead. ukraine's children feel this war
