hello, welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm john vause live from the cnn studio center in atlanta

wyoming has drawn a line in the sand. if we put you in power you will be accountable to us. you will answer to us. and you will do what is in our best interests. if you don't, we will fire. you >> wyoming has put the politicians on notice, not just here but all across this great country that our representatives work for us and not the other way around.

>> and in alaska, some polls are closing right now. always in a different time zone. incumbent republican, the summit cow ski, who also voted to impeach trump is facing kelly chiba who trump has endorsed. also saint former republican nominee sarah palin mount a political comeback. she's running for the house seat and we will keep you posted. those races as well. back in wyoming liz cheney reminded everyone that she is a proud conservative republican with that loves our party loves our country. more cnn's jeff zeleny is there and has this report from jackson. >> congresswoman those cheney in wyoming concedes defeat and her congressional primary race. but is looking ahead, now the real work begins. and a sweeping speech, outside of jackson wyoming on tuesday night. the congresswoman talks about the threats to democracy. she talked directly to former president donald trump, saying she could have won reelection

had she followed the path of election lies. she says she was simply not willing to do that. >> two years ago i won this primary with 73% of the vote. i could easily have done the same again. the path was clear. but it would've required that i go along with president trump's lie about the 2020 election. it would've required that i enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attacked the foundation of our republic. that was a path that i could not and would not take. >> the speech from cheney was infused with history. she's a student of history, a storied in her own right, talking about the young and fragile democracy that the united states indeed has. she talked about the need to bring americans together. republicans, democrats, independents. she urged them to join her. but i did not say was joined her for what exactly. she tipped out to the line, clearly making the case that she's going to be involved in the fight ahead for democracy.

but didn't say in what form that would take. she has not talk about a presidential run of her own, as many supporters at her event certainly would like her to do. but she did talk about the urgency facing the country. and the imperative nature of republicans and democrats and independents to come together against donald trump. she said her greatest grohl is still keeping him from the oval office. jeff zeleny, cnn, jackson wyoming. v >> two republican strategist join us. now hallie stewart and cnn political commentator, host of the podcast hot mics from left to right. she's lost a former communications director for ted cruz. a three decade long veteran of republican politics. as well as serving as communications director for the republican national committee. let's start wyoming with this cheney, the outcome was not unexpected giving her conversion from cheney supporter and cheney critic to -- >> we are fed up with liz

cheney. you deserve a representative who knows what it means to ride for the brand. somebody who will fight to protect your freedoms and liberties from these unconstitutional power grabs. >> so alice, we will begin with the. this is the price that elected republicans will now pay for criticizing and standing up to donald trump? >> it clearly appears that way, don. we are seeing it in many primary races across the country. that if you stand up to donald trump, and you refused to accept the election fraud claims. then you are facing a challenger. in many cases, you will lose. it really is astounding. i talked with a reporter with a newspaper in wyoming today. the cowboys state daily. and he said he was really surprised as he covered this race, seeing the people just really buy in to the whole election denial complaints. this was really the cornerstone of harriet hageman's campaign. it was refusing the outcome of

the 2020 elections. and trying to refuse the certification of the election. and the big election lies. and, in essence, the majority of people there in wyoming bought into it. and supported her. but, clearly, but we're going to see with this cheney. this was clearly the end of her current election and her term in office. but she is going to fight on. she understood the challenges that she has to face. by standing up to trump, not just by voting for his impeachment but also her work on the january six committee. and she is going to continue that fight and her goal ahead is to just make sure that donald trump does not get back into the white house. with that in mind, back in june, cheney had this morning for her fellow republicans. listen to this. >> to my republican colleagues, who are defending the indefensible, there will come a day when donald trump is gone. but your dishonor will remain.

>> so doug, cheney is the last ten house republicans who voted to impeach trump. for retired, for the last primaries, only to stand for reelection. the day of reckoning make becoming but trump backing seems to me he would primary. what is the incentive to not go against trump? >> the message that we heard from the cheney was a very powerful one nationally, and for the republican party. it is not one necessarily designed to win a primary. if you look at the last two commercials that she, read she was incitement vote for liz cheney, and her ad that she ran herself, the one that her father also cut former campaign. this was all about donald trump and setting the stage for what is next. it is donald trump's party, we have seen so many republicans who oppose donald trump and whatever form, they really kowtow to him. no better example of that then what we saw tonight. harriet hageman with somebody, who had 2016 was one of the people trying to block donald trump at the convention. from getting the nomination back when she was a liz cheney supporter. this is how the party is

change. i don't think it surprises anybody. and that's why liz cheney is clearly running through the tape on this and not go to stop running. we will see her first hearing of the january six hearing and september. we'll see what she does next, but will be a long fight for. it >> talking about those assets that she ran. one of them was actually endorsement by her father, dick cheney. the former vice president. who ran this spot and he began by saying that donald trump is the greatest threat to democracy this country has ever seen. he is part of it. >> he tried to steal the last election. using lies and violence. to keep himself in power, after the voters had rejected him. he is a coward. a real man wouldn't lie to his supporters. he lost his election and he lost big. i know it, he knows it, and deep down, i think most republican note. lynn and i are so proud of liz for standing up to the truth and doing what she knows is right. honoring her oath to the constitution, so many in our parties are too scared to do

so. >> this through the eyes, the gravelly voice, the music kind of ruined it a little bit. but dick cheney was once the face of the hard right of the gop. when it comes out with this dire warning, is this message that fell flat for republicans in wyoming? >> it certainly did. the message we heard tonight and moving forward is that she understood going into this fight that it was potentially going to cost her her seat. and she said that no office is worth the principles that we are sworn to protect. and she was not going to give up the principles that she was sworn to protect in terms of abiding by the constitution and the election process. last time by she won by 73%, and if she just went along with donald trump and the lies, she could certainly go on to win again. but the goal here, and the fear, is that while this might be a winning message for republicans and the primaries. i don't see it as a winning message in general elections

across the country. under donald trump, we've lost the white house, we lost the house, and the senate. so this method of going after elections and going after government agencies and going after the certification of elections. it is not going to be something that i see will be a winning formula in the midterm elections. that is the big fare. it might be good on primary day, but general actions will likely be a different story. >> i want to pick up on that. hi boseman's win in wyoming brings a winning strict for trump in the candidates he's but -- as allison sort of alluded to. it may represent the maga wing of the party but it doesn't represent the mainstream. could this be trump's achilles heel coming january election? that there is a big voter turnout, but these guys won't get elected. >> it is part of it. one of the things that we see that every state administered its election differently. different candidates and different ways of doing things. so oftentimes donald trump's endorsed candidate won with 32%

of the vote, where they might have lost with 32% of the vote. the trump endorsement is the one that most republicans want and the one they want the most. but it is not necessarily a indicative of what is going to happen in that primary. state laws and individual candidates matter. and so moving forward, as we have some of these trump candidates who have won, they are in very competitive races. where they are behind in races where they should be winning. where some of the trump backed people lost. we see republicans who are poised to win in november. it is a very mixed bag for what donald trump's ultimate result would be. the republican party is fearful of him, what we used to call conservatism and republican party, now it is about one man. it is not a conservative policy. liz cheney had a 95% voting record of voting with donald trump. that was really conservative. on policy issues. but the party has morphed, it is not what it used to be just five years ago, and as we move into these elections were republicans should be poised to have a really big night. they've kneecap themselves with

some bad candidates and candidates that have caused not only controversy but then cause other candidates and other states to have to answer those kinds of questions as well. this was part of the corrosive effect that donald trump has had on the republican party. >> a lot more to talk about and i know that doug, you have a lot to say the next hour, so thanks for second on cnn. >> thanks don. >> for more now on the fbi search of donald trump's florida home, but is now a criminal investigation, who the former presidents most senior aides are being questioned plus the handling of classified documents which were found in his mar-a-lago estate. cnn's jessi snider has details. >> new revelations of former president trump to top white house lawyers interviewed with the fbi about classified documents in the -- and his deputy, that -- where trump sent representatives to the archives when he left office. they could have insight over why 11 sets of classified documents remained there until

last monday. when fbi agents searched trump's palm beach home. the new details come as the court fight for more information about the search. it is looming. a federal agent announcing he will hold a hearing on thursday over whether to publicly release the affidavit and then provide the basis for last monday. search the justice department seeking to keep it secret, saying any release will release highly sensitive information about witnesses, specific investigative techniques, and would serve as a roadmap to the governments ongoing investigation. cnn and other media outlets have asked jumped to unseal the affidavit and trump himself must weigh in on whether he wants or at least by tomorrow. >> i think it says there are very significant problems here for president trump, and many of his advisers, post presidency. >> trump has repeatedly railed against the search, calling it a witch hunt, and accusing fda jets of stealing three of his passports. trump's attorneys said they had been returned by monday night, with the fbi putting out a statement to make clear they were simply swept up in the search as is routine. in executing search warrants, the fbi follows search and seizure procedures ordered by the courts, then returns items

that do not need to be retained for law enforcement purposes. >> whether you are republican or democrat, this is not a machine you want counting your votes. >> meanwhile, trump's former lawyer, rudy giuliani, has officially become a target in another criminal investigation. this one being led by an atlanta area prosecutor into efforts by trump and allies to flip election results in georgia, claiming it was rigged. >> the recount being done in georgia will tell us nothing. because these fraudulent ballots will be counted again. >> they look like they are passing out dope. not just the ballots. it is quite clear they are stealing votes. >> giuliani is scheduled to appear before the grand jury tomorrow. it is still unclear if he will answer questions or plead the fifth. >> the statements i made our other attorney-client privilege, between me and him, or they were being made on his behalf

in order to defend him. >> president trump may be right behind him in terms of liability. if rudy is in trouble as the target of an investigation, i think trump almost certainly is as well. >> as for the justice department, they've made clear -- members of congress bennie thompson and cars cipollone, they are accusing i d joseph ghafari of obstructing their investigation into the missing secret service text messages. that allegation was in a letter released on tuesday afternoon. there is no response to the inspector general's office just yet. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. as jessica, reported the investigation is ramping up in donald trump's efforts to overturn georgia's election results in 20. 28 judges ordering former trump attorney jenna alice to appear before the grand jury. it is believed alice help trump

and his associates pope paul -- wolf cleanse election fraud in georgia. court date yet to be decided. the white house and democrats are celebrating a major victory, president joe biden signed the 750 dollar inflation reaction act into law tuesday calling, one the most significant pieces of legislation in u.s. history. too often, we confuse noise with substance. too often, we confuse setbacks with the feet. too often, we had the biggest microphones to the critics and the cynics, who's -- failure, to those committed to making real progress to the hard work of government. making progress in this country has big and complicated is clearly not easy it's never been easy. but with unwavering conviction, commitment, and patience, progress does come. >> all of this includes that

historic, nearly 730 billion dollars to fight climate change. -- some drug prices, perhaps medicare, out of pocket cost cap that $2,000. it will extend cities for another three years. it also poses a minimum 15% corporate tax on the orders of u.s. corporations. former president barack obama calling the legislation a bfd, a reference to joe biden's famous hot mic moment back in 2010. if you don't remember it, here it is. >> this is a big -- deal. >> the bfd that biden was affirming tonight was the former president signing the affordable care act into law. we are following the key primary elections in alaska and wyoming. how they affected the fortunes of liz cheney, lisa mark murkowski, and others -- also russia claiming sabotage after explosion ripped through another basin occupied crimea.

for the second time in a week, explosions have rocked a russian military base in crimea. local officials say tuesday's blast at an ammunition depot wounded at least two people. the russian defense ministry says it was sabotage. ukraine, though, not claiming responsibility, but president volodymyr zelenskyy has vowed to retake crimea, which moscow illegally annexed in 2014. more now from cnn's david mckenzie. explosion peppering the horizon in russian occupied crimea just a few miles away, commuters reacting in shock, filming the blast with their mobile phones. >> even the bus is moving, they say. six kilometers away, the bus is shaking. the blast at an ammunition depot in northern crimea causing damage to powerlines, a

power plant, railway tracks, and residential buildings, branded sabotage by russia's military. kyiv has not claimed responsibility for the incident, but a ukrainian presidential advisor called it demilitarization in action. it's the second major security incident in crimea in just one week. last tuesday, massive explosions at a russian airbase on crimea's west coast closed to beach-going tourists. and major sledge psychological blow. the russian defense ministry blaming it on accidental detonation of ammunition. on the southern battlefield, inspectors from the atomic energy agency still unable to get into the massive zaporizhzhia power plant to ensure its safety. russian officials blaming the un for the delay. the un denies that, saying it is ready to provide security and logistics. russia and ukraine blame each other for dangerous strikes near the plant, which has

continued to operate. president volodymyr villa zelenskyy monday calling on the world to introduce tough sanctions as a response to russia's, quote, nuclear blackmail. >> [interpreter] the provocative shelling of the territory of the plant continues, under cover of the plant, invaders are shelling nearby towns and communities. the russian military hides munitions and equipment at the facilities of the plant. >> now, ukrainian officials still not have commented directly on those blasts in russian-occupied crimea. but late tuesday, president zelenskyy did warn ukrainian nationals to keep away from russian military assets in crimea. david mckenzie, cnn, kyiv. >> still ahead here on cnn. cnn predicting-less cheney will lose her seat in the u.s. congress. so, what's next for one of donald trump's most outspoken

just 30 minutes past, hour welcome back to our viewers from the united states and around the world. i'm john vause. and this price absolutely no one has changed in u.s. congress are coming to an. it cnn projects will lose the wyoming republican house primary with trump backed attorney harry amid. cheney's been one of those outspoken credits of the former president and has false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. she says she will not stop fighting to keep trump from the white house. >> we must be very clear died about the threat we face and about what is required to defeat it. i have said, since january 6th, that i will do whatever it takes to ensure that donald trump is never again anywhere near the oval office.

and i mean it. this is a fight for all of us together. i am a conservative republican, i believe deeply in the principles and the ideals on which my party was founded, i love it's history, i love what our party has stood for. but i love my country more. >> primary election is also being held in the state of alaska, republican senator lisa murkowski is hoping to hold on to her seat. she voted to remove donald trump from office in the second week of child. and alaska's former republican governor, sarah palin, open for political comeback. does nate vice president money can to fill the house seat from don. dog -- national political correspondent for politico. he's with us now from sierra madre in california. david, welcome to the show. this was holes in all against

all that's bottle for this cheney. she said she wasn't running for reelection before the future of the republican party. that's the case, the result tonight is more of a beginning than ending for her. >> i think that's right. she clearly had some options are. the most intriguing one of, course is a choice for president. you have to consider cheney belongs to the long. shots there was a couple of options where she has an effect on the republican one is that she runs as an independent. it is possible, if she did that, component votes from trump to keep him from going to the white house even though she obviously would lose in a scenario as well. maybe the other one though, i think, the one that if trump is on the weekend and doesn't run. there is a large field to republican candidates who are very much like donald trump. so 12, 14 many trumps, it could very well see somebody like cheney carving out a late. she wouldn't get a majority support, or remember, trump didn't get a majority of support and early primaries in

2016 either. he was winning primaries with 35, 40% of the vote. because are so many establishment candidates. if cheney can find the inverse of that way. which is, a ton of trumpers and one establishment candidate. it is a long shot, but there is at least a shot. >> obviously, donald trump's voice matters. it matters a lot of teams. when you look at primaries held in 41 states so far. every race for federal and state have led with power over. elections 469 counts and all and more than half the republican winter set of 250 have embraced trump's false claims about his loss two years ago to joe biden. in the battleground states of arizona, jordan, michigan, and arizona, 54 winners out of 87 have embraces false claims as well. there's a whole lot to that story, which is encouraging, but there -- have to voters close in 2024, and trump is running, at a minimum the outcome could be argued over or delayed for weeks and then put a whole lot of chaos, all out of trouble,

which is concerning to both democrats and republicans. >> you're definitely right. we can be setting up 2024 for a serious constitutional crisis. and of course, so much of that groundwork will be late in the midterms this year. and so the question of who is controlling state housing, who is controlling secretary of state offices, the people who are in charge of the mechanisms by which the election runs, and some of those candidates are people who deny that the last election was legitimate. so i do think that we have a crisis in 2020, and that crisis is not gone, and if anything there is reason to be alarmed. >> and fearless cheney's concession speech, it was more like a call to action against trump rather than anything else. here is what she said. >> donald trump knows that voicing these conspiracies will provoke violence and threats of violence. it happened on january 6th. it is now happening again.

it is entirely foreseeable that the violence will escalate further. yet he and others continue, purposely, to feed the danger. >> she's a fertile trump world is not spinning the fbi search and the mar-a-lago residents in florida. but what would normally be a political test both for any other politician, this is what is now being a boost for trump, it is a good distraction, and -- >> not only a booths for trump. it is essentially weekend every trumpian republican who's considered running against him. rhonda statuses of the world. it only elevated trump because this is the former president who made his entire political enterprise based on grievance politics. and here you have the ultimate martyrdom, the everything for republican supporter, everything he said was true. the fbi is in his house. and definitely that has made him stronger and this kind of

weird political environment. that we are still. and >> come 2024. or even the midterms. but democrats do? to the run against trump. how do they handle this? >> in the midterms, it is tricky. i think what you've seen and the clip you've seen from cheney talk about violence. that is an interesting thing that he said. because i think what we have seen over and over again is that hits about democracy itself talking about the institution. that is not resonate with voters on the same scale that some other things to. that's why democrats are focusing certainly on things like roe v. wade. the courts overturning of that case. if they use the biden trumpism election to depict republicans more broadly. that may be an effective one. i don't know, the juries out on that. we do have the polling about the riot and the big lie. it is not an effective attack

for democrats in most cases. >> i guess we will see what happens just a few months ago. david cyrus, thank you for being with us. we'll take a short, break coming back, the u.s. is out of afghanistan now for almost a year. a look at what is happening to the country set that chaotic u.s. withdrawal. this is the sound of better breathing. fasenra is an add-on treatment for asthma driven by eosinophils. it helps prevent asthma attacks, improve breathing, d lower use of oral steroids. fasenra is not a rescue medicatio

welcome back, not the latest efforts with tehran apparently concerned about being trumped again. the rain is one computation if the americans want to withdraw from the agreement again by trump did when he was president. the iran foreign minister says the deal is possible, if the u.s. is realistic and flexible. as a sponsor that from the u.s. state department. >> it is our hope that as we now approached which should be the final stage of this, that the iranians will demonstrate that seriousness of purpose

that we have not consistently seen until now. >> if there was an arrived deal likely 2015 original it would limit iran's ability to produce a nuclear weapon in exchange for sanctions relief. back to afghanistan after a year policies and a long list of broken promises from the taliban comes as no surprise. the islamic union urged the finances to change the course, respect the women's, girls, minorities, and tell happens cuts to international it will remain. even estimated 25 million afghans living in poverty. and the says almost 1 million jobs could be lost, this year, as the economy stalls. cnn's, alex marquardt takes a look at how afghanistan has changed and the criticism the u.s. still faces in connection to that chaotic withdrawal. >> one year ago, this was a deadly and chaotic combination of efforts by the past two u.s. presidents to withdraw from afghanistan. the taliban had overrun the country, the afghan military and government had collapsed, sapped of american support. the trump administration had

struck a deal with the taliban. to have u.s. troops leave in mid 2021. and agreement president joe biden argued, forced his timing. >> we are left with a simple decision. either follow through on the commitment made by the last administration of leave afghanistan. or say we weren't leaving, and committed another tens of thousands more troops going back to war. >> by trump, biden wanted out. staying, he said, would lead to a forever war. which had already caused almost two and a half thousand american lives. and he argued, ending it, would also and the extraordinary cost that had risen two trillion dollars. if there had been no palat or significant drawdown, another year of the same like the prior five years, would've cost the u.s. around $38 million. the military and reconstruction cost. republicans, like congressman mike mccaul of texas, blasted how the withdrawal was handled. calling it a stain on biden's

presidency. >> the evacuation was so poorly handled that we just left so many people behind. but to be american citizens, or afghan partners. >> thousands of those afghans remained, often hunted, mccall says by the taliban. more than 74,000 afghan special immigrant visa applicants are in the pipeline. the biden administration so far, has issued over 15,000 visas. >> it is a broken program. it has continued to be broken. the biden administration made a recent announcement to help with that, to help speed up the process. >> many are afghan women, trying to get out, as their rights are torn away by the taliban. jeanne shaheen has fought for four years. >> we have seen the rights of women be dramatically restricted. their ability to work, to go to schools. >> without the american military, shaheen says, the u. s. is hamstrung in its ability to do more. and the agreement the u.s.

struck with the taliban to not harbor terrorists, she says, is effectively dead, after the leader of al-qaeda was found to be living in downtown kabul. the u.s. drone strike that killed him, the biden administration says, has proved that the so called over the horizon mission from outside afghanistan can work. but the u.s. intelligence community is severely hampered by not having american eyes and ears on the ground, according to the cia's top former analyst on afghanistan. >> we have a growing terrorist threat in afghanistan. i will say, i think we need to keep this in perspective. it's nothing like what it was before 2001. al-qaeda is still a shadow of itself. we still have that ability to take them out. >> a threat that raises concerns of an attack in the united states, the head of the fbi, chris wray, said earlier this month. today, afghanistan is spiraling. facing medical, humanitarian,

and economic crises that only further fuel the fierce debate over the afghanistan war and its calamitous ending. a debate that will continue long past this first anniversary. alex marquard, cnn, washington. >> when we come back parts of the southwest united states facing a potential catastrophic collapse of their water supply. unless they take drastic measures and reduce water usage. here is the details. when we return. allergies don't have to be scary. sprayiying flonase daily stos your body from overreacacting to allergens al season long. psst! psst! flonase alall goo. when you find your reason to go on. let it pull you. past t doubt. past the pain. and pastour limits.. no matter what, we go on.
