5:00 am
♪ good morning, everyone. and welcome to your new day. i'm amara walker. >> great to be with you, amara. i'm boris sanchez. the white house is rolling out a new strategy to combat monkeypox amid criticism. their plan to vaccinate large groups in high risk communities. growing concerns of a nuclear disaster in ukraine as russia stages attacks from a power plant only a few hundred feet from a nuclear reactor. pressure growing from the international community. plus, deeply concerned. the new cnn reporting shedding light on how worried some in the biden administration are about classified documents ending up
5:01 am
at mar-a-lago. and cutting it close. the freeze on student loan payments is set to end this month and borrows aren't the only ones in the dark about what's going to happen next. ♪ it's the weekend, saturday, august 20th. we're so grateful to be a part of yours. thanks for joining us. >> sounds like you were well rested last night or something. >> almost never. >> almost never. well you do a good job of faking it. good to be with you, boris. a lot of news to get to this morning. first, the white house defending its response to the spread of monkeypox across the u.s. and implementing its new aggressive plan to control the outbreak. >> yeah. more than 14,000 monkeypox cases in the united states. more than a third of all cases in the world. and listen to this, in the last
5:02 am
three weeks the number of monkeypox cases in the u.s. has nearly tripled, according to the cdc. the biden administration declared monkeypox a public health emergency earlier this month after facing criticism that it wasn't moving fast enough to address the crisis. now, i spoke with white house deputy monkeypox response coordinator yesterday. he defended the response. >> we know what we've got in terms of this outbreak. it is acting differently than any monkeypox outbreak we have known before. it's clear the epidemiology. it's clear what strategies need to be implemented to be able to control the outbreak. and it's also clear which populations we need to focus on. so i think really it's more about the right time as opposed to there being a delay. >> now, those comments came one day after the white house announced its new plan, which includes boosting vaccine supply with an additional 1.8 million vaccine doses, making anti-viral treatments more rapidly
5:03 am
available for patients who have contracted the virus. and, reaching out to at-risk communities. that plan is being put into action this weekend in charlotte. healthcare workers in north carolina will be administering free monkeypox vaccines at pride events across the city. charlotte is one of several across the south receiving 50,000 vaccine doses from the strategic national stockpile ahead of large public events. now, complicating efforts to get a handle on the health crisis are problems around messaging. some are concerned that specifically stating which groups are at highest risk could be dangerous. others say not being specific and dangerous people who most need help. now joining me to discuss is greg gonzalez, codirector of the yale law school and school of public global health justice partnership. greg, good morning to you. thank you so much for joining me this morning. so let's talk about this delicate balance of messaging,
5:04 am
because obviously that's pitted against making sure that people who need the care get the access that they need. how should public officials be talking about monkeypox? >> well, the point is that it's not a gay disease. the disease is spread by close contact. and endemic regions this has nothing to do with men having sex with men. i think the reason we're saying not to focus on it being a gay disease because it's a stigma discrimination we all know well against the fight against hiv and aids. but that being said, this disease is spreading particularly among men -- gay men in the united states and around the world right now. so we have to hold two thoughts in our head. one, avoid stigma and discrimination but also focus our efforts on the groups that need care and prevention the most. men having sex with men, gay men in the united states and elsewhere right now. >> i understand. you studied hiv for many years along with other infectious diseases.
5:05 am
you are and have been an aids activist as well. do you see in parallels to the anti-gay stigma that was so pervasive, at least at the beginning of the epidemic, with hiv and aids? and what can we learn from that compared to what we're seeing now with the monkeypox? >> well, i would say the real similarity right now is in the sort of bureaucratic bumbling, the sluggishness of the response, the inability to get ahead of this outbreak when as the director said we know what this pathogen is, we have a vaccine and treatments. we have a tripling of cases over the past few weeks. we have the vast majority of these case happen men having sex with men, particularly among the african-american communities and latino communities. >> for those at home who are saying, well, what's the big deal? what's the big deal with the
5:06 am
messaging? it has real life effects, doesn't it? we had cnn reporting a week or so ago about phlebotomists at specific labs who were afraid or refusing to take blood samples because they were worried about the monkeypox. they didn't know much about the virus. so, the language around monkeypox could have real life effects, right, when it comes to access to care and intervention? >> of course it can. it can keep people away from care and prevention services. if people with afraid of coming forward because they're going to face anti-gay stigma and discrimination. but right now it's a second order problem. the point is that response has been so slow, our supply of vaccines has been so limited, by choice not by accident. that people who actually need care are not getting it. people who need a vaccine are not getting it. and that's the biggest problem at the current moment. >> is it too little too late right now with the biden administration's response then,
5:07 am
accelerating the number of vaccine doses 1.8 million more doses and also trying to engage with the higher risk communities? >> well, you know, we're heading towards labor day. this all started around memorial day when we could have been quick out of the gates in containing this outbreak in the united states. what's worrying many people in public health right now we may be past the point of no return in the fact that this will not be contained and become, quote unquote, endemic among men who have sex with men in the united states and elsewhere leading to persistent infection and new epidemic we have to deal with on top of hiv and covid-19. >> that's concerning. we appreciate the conversation. thank you very much. >> any time. we want to turn now o the war in ukraine. and more military aid that is on the way from the united states. the pentagon says the u.s. is providing another $775 million in aid, bringing the total assistance under the biden administration to more than $10
5:08 am
billion. >> the aid announcement comes as concern grows over fighting around the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and the possibility of a nuclear disaster. russian president vladimir putin accuses the ukrainian military of conducting repeated military strikes at the plant. but, as cnn first reported, new satellite images contradict those claims. cnn military analyst colonel cedric leighton says russia needs to make good on its reported promise to allow inspectors on to the site. >> i think there will be a lot of international pressure on russia to do this. the question is whether or not it's going to be a valid inspection and whether or not it will actually stop something bad from happening. >> we want to take you now live to zaporizhzhia and cnn's senior international correspondent sam kylie who joins us live. sam, how likely is it that russia is going to give nuclear inspectors access to the plant, that they'll follow through on
5:09 am
this agreement? >> reporter: well, boris, i think first of all i don't think it's necessarily an agreement. that's how it's slightly been portrayed following the conversation between president emmanuel macron and president vladimir putin last night. yesterday afternoon. but the reality is that this is an offer that's essentially been on the table for a while from the russians. the problem is that this is a front line location and international community is saying they want to see it demilitarized. it's unclear whether demilitarization has to occur before these inspectors can get in, not least for their own safety. so there's quite a long way to travel and quite easy for the russians to say, yeah, fine. we would welcome some inspectors at some later date. while simultaneously continuing to prosecute their war against ukraine, which is using that location or areas very, very close to the nuclear power station as a fire base for
5:10 am
attacks on -- among other things civilian targets on the other side of the dnipro river. about that, there is no doubt whatsoever they are firing rockets regularly in a town just across the river was hit again last night, 13 people have been killed over the last month in that town alone. boris, amara? >> and just quickly, what is the situation around the nuclear plant as it stands right now? >> reporter: well, accurate information is extremely difficult to get ahold of, but we have been in touch with people who are actually working there through third parties. they're saying it's extremely tense. that they do here detonations on a regular basis. we have also spoken to one former employee who escaped, a ukrainian who escaped, was recaptured, tortured and was then finally released. he said that the russian technicians who have been brought into that power plant are anxious about their physical safety and many of them don't
5:11 am
support putin's war and would like to leave. we do also nknow refugees from the town right next door arrive not quite regularly because it's extremely difficult to get out, but the mayor of that town said there are at least 1,000 vehicles trying to get out. there are reports that some may be emerging today. this all speaks to the fact that this is an unsafe place and unpleasant place to be under the russian occupation. amara? >> sam kylie reporting live from ukraine. thanks so much, sam. at least 12 people are dead after armed gunmen attacked an upscale hotel in the somali capital last night. authorities say the gunmen stormed the hyatt hotel after several setting off car bombs. the hotel is popular with lawmakers and government officials and officials say the death toll is likely to rise as somali security forces are battling the gunmen for control of the area around the hotel.

♪ white house officials have privately expressed concern over the classified materials taken to former president trump's florida resort mar-a-lago i, including some documents that are only meant to be viewed in secure facilities. >> since the search, those closest to the president have maintained near silence on the issue, insisting that this on going investigation is simply a matter for the justice department. let's bring in cnn white house reporter jasmine wright, live for us here in d.c.
5:17 am
good morning, jasmine. walk us through this new reporting. >> reporter: yeah, well deep concern. that's how one senior administration official described the level of worry inside of the white house to my colleagues, kaitlan collins about the documents that were taken to mar-a-lago. now, you're right, the white house has been very disciplined in their messaging, near silence from them, referring comment back to the doj. here thanks to my colleagues we have a window into the increasing private concerns from the white house over what was taken. and that concern really focuses in a large part on exactly what was taken and whether or not what was taken could imperil the way that u.s. intelligence gathers informations and the sources that it comes from. now, the white house is not exactly sure about what was taken. they received, as we did last week, that inventory list stating exactly what it was. remember, some of those documents were found in the basement of trump's private residence at mar-a-lago. some of those documents, like you said, were labeled so highly
5:18 am
classified that they were only supposed to be viewed in the high security-level rooms called skiffs here in d.c. so there's concern about whether or not how those documents are handled, whether or not information could get into the wrong places that it's not meant to go. now, of course, here boris and amara, there's a diplomatic aspect it to. because on the inventory list we know there was listed a line about french president emmanuel ma macron. now the white house doesn't know what it was. neither the white house or the french embassy, they both declined to comment here. there's some concern officials say of whether or not it could imperil diplomatic relations. it really is there on two fronts here. the white house is certainly concerned about this, especially when it comes to how they collect intelligence and of course relations with their sources. >> jasmine wright, appreciate your reporting. thank you. and here to discuss this further is michael zeldin, the host of "that said" with michael zeldin
5:19 am
podcast. good morning. good to see you. >> good morning. >> there are so many questions about these classified documents, the lie and what were in these documents. what is your thought process? >> so two things. one is for the current white house, they have to be very concerned as was just reported about what those documents are and what they contain and who had access to them. so from a national security threat analysis standpoint, there's -- that's the white house's view. from the prior white house, then you have to think about what liability do any of them have for getting those documents that were classified from the white house to trump's basement? we saw in the mike pence operation how systematic they were in going through the documents to make sure that nothing classified moved out of the white house. in this case, mark meadows who would have been in charge of this, seems to have been missing in action. that's why all these documents
5:20 am
perhaps vanished from the white house without security around them. and so, if i'm mark meadows and those people, i've got liability concerns. if i'm joe biden and his people, i have national security interest concerns. two different white houses. two different sets of concerns. >> yeah. legal exposure seems to be expanding, at least, in terms of the potential there. let me ask you about the search warrant and this affidavit that the federal judge seems to releasing at least a redacted version of the affidavit if it weren't redacted we would probably know about what kind of probable cause there was for the search to even happen. if the after daeft were released and it would likely be heavily redacted, will there be anything left of substance? how would that help the public interest? >> well, i don't know that it will help the public interest. if you look at the mueller report, remember when they
5:21 am
released those redacted documents, they were just black pages with a date here and there. >> right. >> but what we don't in an on going criminal investigation like that is whether even a date is a tell to the persons who may be looking at the documents. for example f you and i were in a conspiracy agreement and on june 7th we decided to do something, all that was blocked out was everything but that date, you and i might be tipped off that, they know something about the june 7th date that you and i were talking about. you never know what is a tell in the unredacted portions of it, which is why the justice department so strongly suggested to the judge that releasing any of it, redacted or not, was potential jeopardizing of their investigation. i think that's the position they should continue to take. if the judge insists, shea should go to the district court judge or court of appeals. it's a very bad precedent to release affidavit. >> even with it being heavily redacted, you believe there could be a lot of damage done at
5:22 am
least when it comes to the witnesses and investigative techniques taken by the fbi during an active investigation. >> exactly. those the subjects of the inquiry may learn something and that's what we want to avoid. >> got it. could impede the investigation obviously. michael stand by for a moment f you l because i want to get your thoughts on senator lindsey graham and a state-level investigation into the 2020 presidential election. we've learned that he may appear, may have to appear, next week before a grand jury on tuesday, investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election in georgia. sara murray has more on this. listen. >> south carolina senator lindsey graham is still keeping up the fight trying to refuse to appear on tuesday before a georgia grand jury. a federal judge told lindsey graham she not going to quash his opinion. could you stay your opinion, put
5:23 am
pause on this because i'm planning to appeal. the judge got back to him on friday saying senator graham raises a number of arguments as to why he is likely to succeed on the merits, but they're all unpersuasive. graham does have one other iron in the fire. he also filed with an appeals court saying he plans to file his appeal and asking that court to put a stay again essentially to pause his required tuesday appearance while this appeal plays out. we're still waiting to see what the appeals court says about this. the district attorney who is investigating all of this in georgia, her office has said that graham is a crucial witness. they are particularly interested in a phone call that graham had with georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger. he came away from that call feeling like the senator was asking him to throw away ballots in georgia in a way that would benefit donald trump. senator lindsey graham has denied that. we will see what happens for his legal challenges and if he has to appear before that grand jury on tuesday. sara murray, cnn, washington. let's get back to michael
5:24 am
zeldin on this. we heard that senator graham is now arguing, look, he shouldn't have to testify in this because his actions were related to legislative activity. does his argument have any teeth in your opinion? and how much of a chance does he have at the federal level to appeal this? >> i don't think his argument is persuasive. i agree with the judge that the speech and debate clause, which is what's at stake here, is to protect legislatures from criminal investigation of stuff they do in the course of their official business. here this was not official business, according to the judge, and therefore the speech and debate clause does not protect him. and we saw this in the case of senator menendez from new jersey. remember, he was tried for his lobbying exploits. and he said, too, that his lobbying was covered by speech and debate and the courts unanimously ruled against him.
5:25 am
those are nonlegislative activities. i think that graham falls into that same category of this being nonlegislative, personal and therefore not protected. i think that the courts have viewed the speech and debate clause cases over the years, should agree with judge may and he should be required to testify. >> yeah. so, what kind of information could the senator provide regarding these two calls that he himself made to the georgia secretary of state when it comes to president trump and his allies attempts? >> yeah. simply what was up with those calls. what were -- what was it that you were trying to do? the judge said to him in the order, look, your communications with trump and the efforts to overturn the 2020 election are not legislative. they're critical to the investigation in georgia. and we need to know what was going on. who were you talking to? what was being said in those conversations? what was the objective of these efforts? and who else do you know that
5:26 am
was participating in this? all of that stuff is nonlegislative, not protected by speech and debate, critical to the investigation and lindsey graham has, according to the judge, legal obligation. leave aside of course the moral and ethical obligation to find out what was going on here in an effort to overturn the popular vote in a presidential election. legislatively not relevant. legally required. i think graham should be there on tuesday and have to testify. >> we'll see. michael zeldin, appreciate you joining us this morning. have a good one. thanks. >> you too. coming up, the pause on repaying student loans expires at the end of august. what happens if president biden doesn't take any action? we'll discuss the potential ramifications after a quick break. get business internet from verizon, the network businesses rely on. ditch cable and switch to verizon business internet, with fast, reliable solutions, nationonwide. find the perfect solution n for your business. from the network businesses rely on.

later this month, some 43 million americans are set to resume making payments on their federal student loan debt. remember, most repayments have been on pause since the start of the pandemic. back in march of 2020. the biden administration says the president is preparing to make an announcement on forgiving some student loan debt after mulling on this issue for months. though they have not said exactly when it's coming. >> there's some considerations that the president is taking into account and also the timeline of where we are. there's the question of whether and how students should start to repay their loans, that during the pandemic, pause payments on student loans across the board as part of the emergency efforts that we did for different parts of the economy, small businesses. so there are those factors that all need to be factored in. >> we want to introduce you now to scott buchanan the executive
5:33 am
director for the student loan alliance, nonprofit trade group whose members are responsible for servicing over 95% of all federal student loans. scott, we're grateful to have you this morning. what do you think needs to be considered as the white house weighs student loan forgiveness? >> yeah, good morning, boris. i think it's really important for us to think about what is the right thing that's actually going to matter for american families today and borrowers. i think the government right now is sort of in this conversation playing a little game of poker. i don't think they really know how the cards will fall for them politically. will they win or lose in the midterms if they go all in. the problem for every one of us is they're playing a game with house money here, taxpayer money. this needs to be a decision rooted in economics, policy and some are trying to make it about buying votes and politics. i'm really hoping the white house will focus on making the right call as they see it borrows make progress and pay down their loans as soon as they can. >> there's a cnn poll in may
5:34 am
that shows that 49% of the americans think the u.s. government is not going enough. it's doing too little to address student loan debt. do you think there might be another extension on this pause? or do you expect that the white house is going to make some gesture toward potential voters before the midterm elections? >> yeah. i think we are 12 days away from the resumption as scheduled, according to the government today. i think, you know, we've been told to sort of not communicate with borrowers about that potential resumption which creates a challenge for borrowers about the confusion about will i have to begin repayment or will i not have to resume repayment. i think it's absolutely true that congress has got to do a lot more to improve the federal student loan program, make improvements to the payment plans we have today, the forgiveness programs already available under law in order to make those more easily accessible for borrowers. that's been the real challenge
5:35 am
that we see as services interacting with borrowers on a daily basis. there's a lot of confusion about these program. they're incredibly complicated today and simplifying them something that congress and the administration should focus on doing whether it's today, tomorrow or ten years from now student loan borrowers can easily access programs assist in help repaying their loans. >> i want to get more thoughts on congressional action. but in a practical matter, as far as borrowers, what can they do, worst case scenario for them, if there is no extension and forgiveness does not happen? >> yeah. the number one thing is talk to your servicer today. i think waiting and seeing hypothetically what the government may or may not do snot good personal financial decision. you should operate on the information you have today. talking to your servicer or getting ahead of the rush. if we have sort of all of this confusion going into resumption on september 1st, talking to your servicer now to understand what repayment plans are available for you, getting into
5:36 am
that, updating your contact information with a servicer so we can reach out to you and speak to you directly and give you the information is most important thing people can do. i think it's most important that you don't wait on the hopes that the government may or may not do something in the future but take personal action today to control your personal finances and budget for what inevitably will be resumption of payment at some point. >> i had to borrow a ton of money to go to school. since then, the cost of going to college has increased exponentially. do you think that is something that congress should step in and intervene and try to lower the cost of an education? >> well, many respects you highlighted, i had student loans as well that i had to pay back. but student loans are in some way a symptom of the problem here. and the real challenge that we need to address is college cost. as you highlight, college costs are -- have increased faster than healthcare costs in the united states over the last ten years.
5:37 am
that's something we brought up, we have to really focus on. how do we convince families to understand that college is an investment that needs to have a good r.o.i., not just go to the most prestigious and most expensive constitution, the one that will give you the value and economically beneficial to you when you leave college. that's something we have to really focus on and that's my concern about all this discussion about payment pause and what we do forgiveness. what we really need to focus on is reducing the need to borrow and making sure people are getting a real value for their education. >> also a complicated problem for a lot of these borrowers, many of them most of them never even finished school, right? >> that is absolutely a huge problem. we look at student loan repayment, one of the biggest drivers of default or real distress in student loan portfolio associated with people who never completed their degree. they don't really have a tradeable economic valuable asset. right? they don't have that piece of paper that's worth something in the economy. making it easier for people to
5:38 am
stay in school, find ways for them to be able to return, complete those degrees or ways we can really reduce the distress thatarrrowers are going to face. thank you. stay with cnn. we'll be right back. what d do you want to leave behind? what do yoyou want to give back? whwhat do you want to be remembered for? that's your why. it's your purpose, and we will work with you every step of the way to achieve it. at pnc private bank, we'll help you take care of the how. so tell us - what's your why? ♪ ♪ it wasn't me by shaggy ♪ you're never responsible for unauthorized purchases on your diover card.
