does your body say no, what are you doing, i did not want any of this? >> no. i'm not anti vegetable at all. actually, this, year i did a three-week detox, a vegan detox. last, year i had some of the infections, i took a crazy amount of antibiotics. i had to do a detox to get my body even and it is great and some people are -- i'm definitely. not >> unlike the fact you are not anti-vax, what you are vegetable inclusive. you just like everything. you like hot dogs in great quantities. i mean, how do you feel after eating so many hot dogs once, and you were just talking about the detox and antibiotics, how long does it take you to recover? >> it takes a while. going to a football game knowing he's going to get. hit i know after this time, i'm not gonna feel great. it's going to take four days to

feel fairly normal and the first 12 hours after the contest, i'm going to feel like garbage. i go in there knowing that. going to go through that. it's an amazing contest. it's the fourth of july. i'm going to do what it takes to get over 60. >> victory does cost. no question that. in 2020 when you set the record. 76 hot dogs in 10 minutes. what are you shooting for in this one? do you think you will win it again? >> i think i can pull off the win. if conditions are right, and amina nasty rhythm if possible. the crowd it is an amazing crowd. coney island, they're pushing me and supporting me. i'm going to do whatever accounted to liver. >> 80, possible? >> i'm practicing. things that have to be perfect. i'm not saying -- you know what, it's possible. that's the way i try not to

limit myself and say anything is impossible. a.d. is going to be tough. i can do it, i think. >> you dream, it do it. joey chestnut, godspeed in the best of luck to you. >> thank you, great talking to you. >> nice talking to, my friend. we've master all the news we can. time now for kaitlan collins and cnn primetime. >> good evening, i'm caitlin collins. night before the united states celebrates its independence day, ukraine is vowing to never give up on freedom. as it is facing new setbacks in its 4-week-old count our offensive. president zelenskyy has a new op-ed in the wall street journal thanking the united states for providing both support to his country and setting an example of liberty. we are now 16 months into the russian invasion. tonight, there is an ominous

new estimate. 180,000 russian forces making a push on to eastern france in ukraine. that's according to ukrainian military spokesman. for context, that is more than twice the size of the british army. president zelenskyy has been openly addressing the difficulties they have been facing on the front lines. he does still maintain progress is being made. he's also making news in a new exclusive interview with erin burnett who sat down with him in odessa as he told her that he does believe president putin's power is diminishing. >> have you seen any changes and how you think he's acting, in his behaviors, since the attempted coup? [speaking non-english] >> translator: yes, we see the reaction after certain bogner steps. we see putin's reaction. it is week. firstly, we see he doesn't control everything. wagner is moving deep into russia and taking certain regions shows how easy it is to

do. putin doesn't control the situation in the regions. he doesn't control the security situation. all of us understand that his whole army is in ukraine. almost entire army is there. so, all of that vertical power he used to have just got crumbling down. >> that is the latest from zelenskyy. now, let's get the very latest on ukraine's counteroffensive and how it is going. cnn's ben vitamin reports from eastern ukraine. >> caitlin, even president volodymyr zelenskyy is acknowledging that the going is getting tough in the ukrainian counteroffensive. he said last week was difficult on the front line. we are making progress. we are moving forward. step-by-step. step-by-step, things are going slow. in fact, the commander of ground forces in the ukrainian army visited the front lines around bakhmut and said one of the reasons for the slow

progress is what he called, deep russian defenses. we also heard this evening that the spokesman for ukrainian forces in the east are saying that the russians had deployed along the eastern front. 180,000 troops, 50,000 alone in and around bakhmut. when president zelenskyy tells our erin burnett that putin is weak, perhaps politically in russia. but on the front lines, that weakness is not being felt. behind the front lines, today, the russians fired iranian-made shohei drones on the northeastern city of sumy. they, are they killed at least two people, injured 19, including a five-year-old child. caitlin? >> ben vitamin, thank you for that. for more insight on that, what is happening on the battlefield, retired u.s. army major marc lions joins me now. you heard ben saying there,

summoning it up, we've been talking about the weakness and staying home after that revolt that we saw by the wagner group. they are not necessarily seeing it on the frontlines. what does that say to you? >> they have mass. they have a machine on that front line, when the very start, from an expectation perspective, it was going to be very difficult to think that ukraine was going to do everything and vanquish it. the counteroffensive is going about as well as it can go given that they have no air superiority on the ukrainian side. i think it's a wait and see mode. it's like you can't even call it a counteroffensive. we continue to try -- because it is that slow? >> we try to put american military doctrine on top of this. we've handed them this kind of equipment, this is world war i. this is trench warfare that is going on there. we have to recognize that if ukraine can hold on and do what it has been doing that they come and it's getting and we get some more from the west, it will it least have a chance to get russia to negotiation table. that's really about it.

i heard, he's not giving up crimea. i have a hard time thinking he has the military assets to take back crimea. he's threatening, i don't think you can take. it >> let's talk about. that that stood out to me as well. the moment that i heard him say that. obviously, crimea was illegally annexed by russia in 2014. this is what he said about the end result of what this entire war could look like and crimea specifically. [speaking non-english] >> translator: we can't imagine ukraine without crimea. without crimea, it's under the russian occupation. it means only one thing, war is not over yet. >> to be clear, in victory, in peace, is there any scenario where crimea is not part of ukraine? >> it will not be victory then. >> do you as officials see bay as realistic? >> difficult. if there are reports of 180,000 russian troops within that region now, he only 300,000 in

order to announce some kind of counter offensive in order to do that. sevastopol, the black sea fleet, is in crimea. the russians have had, it they have control it for hundreds of years. this is before they took it in 2014. ukraine had a leasing agreement with russia. they have to have that. from a strategic perspective, that is why they took it first back in 2014, because it was so strategic to them. i don't see russia giving that up. perhaps they will bring more resources down. again, they don't have the assets on the ground to actually take. it >> does ukraine have the 300,000 forces to go up against -- you said 180,000 number. that is what we heard from ukraine military spokesman. >> i'm not sure. it's difficult to say. they've got brigades in reserve right. no each of these units in russia and ukraine are geo tech. when you look at how to fight, this either side is not going to gain any kind of surprise in terms of principle. for everyone knows where everyone is. in order to be effective in a

counteroffensive, you have to mask troops along an access, it's usually thin. battle of the bulge. attack along the way. you're going to have success. we can pretend that ukraine will be able to mobilize troops and get there that fast. i don't think they're gonna be able to do it with any element of surprise, which is always, usually, a factor, a factor of a successful counteroffensive. >> we're seeing how grueling this counteroffensive is. what stood out to me, what he also said about mike pence, former vice president who recently showed up in ukraine, which was notable in and of itself because of the split we have seen in the republican field. slinky talked about the importance of bipartisanship. courtney said, there are dangerous signals from the republican party about that support waning. how much time does he have? >> well, let's hope both parties recognize that it's in the united states interest to keep supporting ukraine, at this point, giving the more equipment, given them what they need. i'd like to see, after this

nato meeting, nato countries getting together up there, pc on, cluster munitions, their attacks, more mine clearing operations, a bit more drones. i'd like to see them do those kinds of things. let's hope that politically we don't make this an issue in this election because it is important from our european allies. look at how close nato is no. nato countries are great, haven't done that in a long time, about how to support this operation. for ukraine to eventually become part of nato, that border is going to have to be secure. it can't be under any dress under any level. >> you mentioned nato meeting next week. president biden is going. zelenskyy is saying they need to be invited to it now. is any chance that happening? >> i don't think so. i think part of this counteroffensive is to show nato that they are willing to do whatever it takes, again, we have to wait and see. continuing to provide military equipment. again, it's not in our best interest or nato's best

interest to include that right now. that would cause an escalation on the russian side. we don't know they would act. >> thank you very much for time. always for your expertise on. this you are always so helpful and breaking it down. >> thanks, caitlin. >> also learning new details tonight about the cia director, a secret trip that he made to ukraine to sit down with president zelenskyy and keaves other top intelligence officials. early mantises in the pentagon. oren, we heard with bill burns, the washington post was the first to report that ukraine had revealed to director burns this strategy. an ambitious one, to push moscow by the end of this year. what else do we know about this trip? >> first, about the visit itself, bill burns, director of cia, was in ukraine last month. according to a u.s. official, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy and with officials. according to the washington post, at least one of these meetings with ukraine officials, the officials told burns about this plan, continuing to retake

territory and force, rather entered negotiations and peace negotiations, for everyone to call them, with moscow by the end of the year. it seems this is an attempt to, i, rickie take territory as we see it making progress, but also enter negotiations from a position of power. to be on the stronger side, to have more leverage there by the end of the year. it is apparent that that is what ukraine is looking for in -- at least, that's a message they telegraph to bill burns while he was in ukraine. of course, that comes with challenges we just spoke about. that, at, least is an idea of what ukraine is looking at in terms of a grinding, slow, very difficult counteroffensive and, perhaps, a hint of how ukraine sees this and a. in terms of what those negotiations might look like, that remains a very difficult question to answer. >> absolutely. we are also learning about the russian arms dealer everyone came to know, victor bout. he was just notorious arms

dealer. the merchant of death. he was the person that the u.s. exchange for brittney griner. we've now learned he is running for office in russia. isn't this what critics of that pressure swats that at the time that they were worried about him regaining power and status in russia? >> absolutely. that was always a concern with the leasing viktor bout in this prisoner exchange with britney griner. as you mentioned, he is known as the merchant of death. he signatories arms dealer. he was arrested back in 08. sentence in 2012. 25 years for conspiring to kill americans, giving materials to the terrorist organization, and more. there is an open question, a very open question, and critics as administration, why trade him for brittney griner? the administration move forward with that prisoner exchange. last year, they believed, at that point, it was right thing to do. now, this is what the concern. was that boot was never going to go quietly in the night. instead, he is more directly entering politics now. getting the name of the region in the party right, he'll be

running for the deputy seat at the legislative assembly of the only not screw region of russia. i looked it up on the map. it's a bit east of moscow. he has entered the party. kremlin loyal, ultranationalist party where we've seen him before, stumping for the political candidates of this party. this appears to be much more direct entry. the exact concern that everyone had raised back when this deal was announced. and it was released. >> from prisoner to politician, liebermann, thank you. also tonight, we are monitoring israel's largest west bank military operation. more than 20 years, hundreds of israeli troops have stormed a refugee camp and occupied city of jenin. according to israel, the camp is a haven for militants and weapons. that is why you are seeing the scenes played out that we have been watching closely all day today. the palestinian ministry of health says at least eight palestinians have been killed. more than 100 injured. some of them, civilians. videos that were obtained by

cnn from janine show israelis pulling up streets to disarm what they say are potential explosives. israeli defense forces also carried out ten airstrikes using drones, this operation is ongoing. we are going to continue to monitor it tonight. also ahead here in the u.s., spoiler alert, potentially, there's a hunt for someone who can up and the 2024 election. a third candidate, third party candidate, to run for president. could that mean handing the election to donald trump? baby i hear one every night... every night. okay. i'll work on that. the queen sleep number 360 c2 smart bed is now only $899. plus, free home delivery when you add an adjustable base. shop now only at sleep number.

>> is there room for a third party candidate in 2024? after, all polls have consistently shown most americans do not want a donald trump versus joe biden rematch. now, a nonprofit political group known as no label says it is determined to give voters potentially another option, especially if the country is in store for that 2020 rematch. the democrats and anti trumpers say that a third party could just end up playing spoiler in all of this by siphoning votes from president biden in swing states and, therefore, handing the election to donald trump. joining us now is a longtime associate of no labels, former michigan republican congressman, fred upton. i know you told me not to call you congressman. let's talk about this group, no labels. as the wall street journal is, riding its latest report says, it's called no labels, many political strategist have their own label, spoiler.

it's no labels going to be ending up as a spoiler? >> no, i don't think so. no labels has been around since 2008 or 2009. it was very involved with -- a house caucus, which i was a vice chair of. the comember of republicans and democrats. you -- had and fitzpatrick. on a number of times, 55 to 60 members. this is a little larger group, bipartisan, bicameral. until now they've been very focused on the issue and they still are. it says the debt ceiling, immigration. they're keeping the government open, a whole bunch of chips fell, infrastructure. now, the polling that we've done shows literally 20,000 people around the country, it draws equally, unlike the basic tenant in 92, 30 years ago, was pro basically took from bush and allow bill clinton to win the election.

the polling now shows that we draw pretty much equally between both sides, the republicans and the democrats. our focus right now is, pro was successful, not getting in the ballot in all 50 states. it's not gonna be a down-ticket appeal. it's just going to be a president and vice president. we're not going to have congressional candidates or senators state rep candidates on their. literally, to get on the ballot, we had some good news this last week. utah approved us of getting on the ballot. so, our intent is to be an all 50 states by the end of the first quarter of next year. at a nationalist convention up in dallas. >> i want to talk more about that effort to get on the ballot. obviously, you, know if you want to win, and yet the and on the ballot first. i'm interested in that. when you say you are pulling from democrats and republicans equally, you know, we've seen the polling on how voters don't want to trump biden rematch. there's very little data about what this exactly would look

like. we have this history of people saying, i'm open to voting for third party. when it comes to an election, day they don't actually do so. right now, what we have seen is when people are choosing, they don't like biden or trump, they say they are more likely to go for biden. how do you know that it would pull verbal candidates equally? >> our polling shows that it pretty much does take equally from both sides. you have a lot of folks and particularly with all these indictments, anti trump republicans that say, we're not gonna go there again. on the democratic side, you have what about harris? we have real questions about what's going to happen. this is going to be our strongest candidate? yet, here we are now in july and it looks like both these two are going to be the nominees for both sides. you see that with the way that democrats structure their presidential primary in south

carolina being among the first ones. here in michigan, it looks like it's going to be a sweep. for trump, they change the rules from 2016 were back in 2016 the top three candidates got a third of the delegates. now, it looks like trump will get them all because it's going to be decided petite much at a convention. you have many republicans in a statement today from stefanik and the leadership calling republicans to now break for trump. it's over. it is a landslide. you saw desantis deem one of his top people today saying that they were way behind in terms of where they are. he's losing these big fourth place in south carolina. it looks more and more like it's going to be trump biden ticket. much of the country, a majority of the country says enough. we don't want this again. >> can the two sides -- elect somebody else. >> i don't understand the argument that it's gonna take

away from both of them equally. we are hearing from democrats and white house advisers that they are very concerned about what -- it is a joe manchin or someone whose name is been tossed around, he hasn't committed one way or another. you don't hear that from trump advisers. you only hear conservative democrats that -- it >> yes. >> benefit trump. >> some of the trump folks are -- both the rnc and the dnc, democratic national committee, they don't want us to exist. they like the game as it is. they want their nominee to be there. they don't want a third party to come in. we think we actually have a chance to get more than 270 electoral votes. we have until august of next year, 2024, to actually pull back if it evac shows that we can't win. we think we can have a winning ticket with what would likely be republican presidential nominee. and a democrat vice president

nominee running together, very much along the lines of what john mccain almost it with joe lieberman back in a wait. >> what is that path to victory? i've seen the electoral path to victory map that your group has. it says it requires winds in hawaii, vermont, maryland, massachusetts. those are all states and in 2020, biden won by 30 points or more. it doesn't really seem like a viable path. >> you remember larry hogan who is one of the co-chairs of no labels actually carried the state and 20 by, what, 30 points? a republican in a state that trump got crushed. there is definitely room for people to say, we don't want this rematch and the polls show that. can he come up with a different take it? we actually think that there is a pathway for us to get 270, more than 270 electoral votes.

our first goal is to get on the ballot. now, we have to get the signatures to get on the ballot. that's what we're up to now, which is why utah was a big state this last week. we're in play and a good number of states across the country at the moment. >> biden still did win maryland that year by more than 30 points. you mentioned larry hogan. he actually made a comment about this yesterday. obviously, he is one of the co-chairs. this is what he told dana bash, him potentially being that choice seat for president. >> 70% of the people in america do not want joe biden or donald trump to be president. if they're going to be the nominees, which it appears that they are, you know, you have choice that no one wants and choice b that no one wants. -- >> choice? b >> i might have to be choice c. >> you just said you believe that there is a path to victory for whoever this third candidate is. what are the names of those people that can beat biden and trump? is it a larry hogan?

is it a joe manchin? >> i know both of them well. we haven't figured out exactly what the process is going to be yet. that's in the works. we're going to have citizens that are going to make a big decision here in terms of the path that we take. you know, first, we're going to get on these state ballots. second, a little bit later this month, we are actually going to release common sense booklet, like the contract of america, with america that -- pushed back in 94. 25 to 30 principles that will guide where we are in terms of selecting our candidates and then, come, fall we will have a better idea of who they maybe. there is a good laundry list of republicans and democrats who, i, think could actually fit the bill. >> could you name a few of them? >> you talked about, hogan manchin. yeah, i'm sure that they are our good list of folks that could, in, fact attract voters

to this new labels ticket. >> fred upton, a lot of questions about what that ticket would look like and if you can get on the ballot, of course, we will be monitoring this as democrats and republicans will be as well. thank you very time tonight. >> you bet. >> in the republican, presidential joe race, republican nomination, ron desantis is facing intense backlash over a new attack at that was intended to knock donald trump, but it may have ended up backfiring on him. plus -- a top official for his super pac is warning that he could be in big trouble when it comes to polite. you just heard fred upton mentioning it there. we will show what he said, next.

territory. >> i will do everything in my power to protect our all g bt q citizens. >> kaitlan turner or to walk into trump tower, and want to use the bathroom, you would be fine with her using any bathroom she chooses? >> reaction to that video has been intense on both sides of the, i'll including former republican candidate chris christie -- >> and is a teenage food fight between iran desantis and donald trump. i don't think that's what leaders should be doing, and it certainly doesn't make me feel inspired. >> i will choose my words carefully, partly because -- and, i will leave both sides

the strangeness of trying to prove your manhood, by putting up a video that displaces images of you between oiled up shortlist bodybuilders, and just get to the bigger issue that is on my mind whenever i see the stuff in policy space, which, is again, who are you trying to help? >> joining me now to answer that, question cnn political commentators ashley, allison david, orbit thank you so much for being here tonight. i see that you are laughing after -- what did you -- >> listen, it is, it is -- who is a spokesperson for the campaign said, look, we are trying to get across the point, we are not supporting a national move here for recognizing pride month, but the imagery, the ad that was created and put up and

re-tweeted by the campaign, you know, it is both homophobic, and homoerotic at the same time. i don't want to have to agree with mayor pete, but i agree, it is a very strange way to make your point. >> i mean, it is bodybuilders, brad pitt, gladiator, spartans -- it is very bizarre. >> what message -- is that a message or republican primary voters they are receptive to? >> i don't know, i don't exactly know what the messages. if -- point is, we should be -- there shouldn't be a recognition of pride, that is a policy statement. should make, that and make it clearly and articulate. look, that is debate people can, have adult can have. people can disagree upon that, the way it was presented was so bizarre that the underlying message got -- policy message got lost in that whatever it was that you just

showed on the screen. >> ashley, i saw this video after this video, that came out of 2018, when desantis was running for governor in florida. this is when there was a national debate about transgender bathroom laws. this is what he said then as a candidate. >> obviously i would have to read the, bill what i think heading into the bathroom, was i don't think that is a good use of our time. >> what do you think of his stance just five years, ago in 2000, 18 to know how he is framing this? he is not going to push these policy issues the way he claims trump did? >> when ron desantis -- he believe him he has been governor, had been pushing anti lgbtq bills anti black bills, and now this ad is just a personification of who he will be --

-- the attack on the lgbtq community, and attempt to -- pass a -- make you say i'm the better version of the most extreme conservative of my party. it is tasteless, he is -- should be taken very great alarm, not only is he implementing these policies and, florida facing him will do this as president of the united states, so i'm not surprised he has changed his tone since 2016. he's doing whatever he has to do to, when but that is not the type of later we, want we want somebody who actually understands the policy and -- for everyone who lives there for lives in this country. >> and i should, note if it is about policy of trump when he was president, he didn't even recognize part methodist third year -- we banned transgender people from serving in the military, not exactly in the most pro-lgbtq -- but i mentioned earlier, on the political, front steve cortez used to work for trump, he is now his top spokesman for ron

desantis super pac. this is his want assessment today of how his candidate is doing. >> right now in national polling, we are way behind, i will be the first to admit that. to be blunt, and, honest it is an uphill battle. i don't think it is an unwinnable battle, but clearly donald trump is the runaway front runner. particularly since the indictment. >> what do you make of that david? >> look, i know, steve i have a great deal of respect for steve cortez, and what he is saying is simply the truth. if you look at the polling, and pulling it simply a snapshot in, time he's saying right now given the state of pulling right, now that donald trump is far ahead. he is the runaway favorite, in national poll of denationalize. even in his battleground, states these early decision, states he is 20 points ahead of governor desantis as well, so steve cortez is just simply, i don't know if it is

controversial for just absolutely recognizing the facts, so i'm not so sure what is so shocking that he saying, look i can read, and we are behind, and we need to make it out. i'm not so sure he would be happy with missteps like this tweet that just went out, a few days ago on this pride month, not so sure that is going to help him. >> what do you make of it all? >> look, i think that desantis campaign, their strategy is we hope that something happens where trump will end up on the ballot when we get into 2024 during these primaries, maybe because of, indictments maybe because he is actually in court, might not be removed from the ballot, but that something happens that is so dramatic to trump's ran, that he becomes obsolete. that is a stretch of the imagination, but i think that is what the desantis camp is doing. there are hoping that if that happens, ron desantis can come and be -- a as filler as trump two point

oh. now whether that will happen, or not i'm not really, sure but i do think that is a strategy. that is why going out to trump's not releasing his name. >> yes, notable also given -- >> your head, david. >> i was going to, say there is a famous thing in politics, hope is not a strategy. >> right. we will leave it there. ashley, david, thank you both. >> thanks. >> tonight arousal's governor says, he is surprised he did not get a call from the special counsel who is investigating former president trump, this according to new reporting. that was after trump phoned him in the wake of the 2020 election, we will tell you what the reporting is next. old school hard work meets bold, new thinking, ♪ to help you see untapped possibilities

on to the president, and there was no more no less than that. >> no more, no less than that. the washington post first reported that trump pressured and governor of arizona doug doocy to overturn the states election results, and the story has really interesting detail. the governor doocy told a donor leader, he was surprised at the special counsel jack smith hadn't reached out to him about the matter. cnn senior legal analyst elie honig is here to help break down all these legal threats. we don't know for sure that jack smith has not reached out to the governor, former governor of arizona. but if he hasn't, what would it signal to you that that is not something jacks mitt was interested in? >> if he hasn't, my first question, why is he waiting for. with all the focus on, georgia let's remember, this was a seven state strategy, including arizona. if i'm in charge of this case, to meet governor doocy's testimony, even more important than brad raffensperger the georgia secretary of state. with raffensperger, there is -- so we can hear the, call you don't need raffensperger's

testimony. you just play the audio, that is the key piece of evidence. with governor, doocy there is no known audio. so, all you are going to have is his account on that phone call. that is crucial evidence. i sort of share the governor surprised as to why jack smith has not reached out yet. >> as soon as i read the story, there was a moment i remember, it was right after the election. we were covering trump's efforts to overturn the results, and doug doocy was certifying biden's win in arizona. 's phone rang, and this is what it -- -- former president trump we believe, what is it the idea we

can see seeing that, and then hearing that's important reading the supporting of what is happening behind the scenes. >> it is an interesting, moment because he silences it. one thing you are trying to do is confirmed that there was a, phone call trample the phone, or could see if there was a call from any number we associate with donald trump that went through to governor doocy. another possibility i should, say jack smith is sort of narrowing his focus. we talked to brad raffensperger last, week perhaps he's only looking at georgia and saying, let me look, at the most fragrant of the -- prosecutors do that, sometimes because it is going to take a lot of resources to investigate all states. so, if he is not on two -- >> and, he says he did call him, just basically was not delivering a message that he clearly wanted him to. separately over the weekend, on the investigation to hunter biden, the u.s. attorney in delaware david -- who is a trump appointee said this two page letter to house republicans defending's investigation, denying that he

was watched from pursuing allegations against under biden, and said basically, they want information. he said i'm required to protect confidential law enforcement, information and communications, thus i will not provide specific information related to hunter biden at this time. >> good for david weiss edema, he's standing up for doj's corporate principles. you cannot open up your investigative files to congress, does not matter how many times to jordan insist on it. ultimately, let's play it, out whatever to jordan get serious, and says you don't want to give it to, us here is a subpoena. what david weiss? do he will not give that material over. i guarantee, that is an ironclad rule of, doj imagine if doj started opening up its files to congress. it would lead to all sorts of ridiculous results, and problematic results. so let's say david weiss and doj say, no we are not going, to do it from jordan is going to find him in content, maybe, then, what where discontent get set for prosecution, to doj. checkmate. so, i applaud david, weiss and -- as much as it has been,

critical i think they're holding the line here. >> does not mean house republicans will stop trying to do that information. elie honig, thank, you let's see what that looks like. up next, we have the latest on the urgent search underway in baltimore tonight still underway after another mass shooting has left two people, that at more than two dozen injured following a holiday block party while raising the reward help track down the multiple suspects that are believed to be responsible, and the latest on another shooting in the u.s..

>> -- in a mass shooting in southwest philadelphia. police say, one person is in custody, and a weapon has been recovered, right now we do not yet know if there are any confirmed fatalities. we are monitoring the incident very, closely we will bring in those developments, as we are learning them tonight. unfortunately, this looks so comes as we are following another shooting, as baltimore police are still searching for at least two suspect in a deadly mass shooting there. sunday after community celebration. a reward has now been amped up to $20,000 for tips that could help lead to an arrest of those two suspects, we know that

20-year-old -- and 18 year old -- were killed. 20 more people, most of them just teenagers were also injured in a shooting on sunday. one of, them just 13 years old. cnn's danny freeman as live in baltimore. danny, what we're learning more about this manhunt that is very much still underway? and what is a possible motive? >> well, caitlin, first, the motive, we are still waiting for an answer from city officials as to what may have motivated the. shooting remember, at this point, baltimore police officers are looking for multiple shooters in this shooting, and at this point they are still looking an all out manhunt. 20 people, injured two people, killed and the mayor promised unequivocally, it will not stop looking for these people until they have the behind bias. i just want to recap and step back for a, moment to remind viewers how this all started. it really happened and started on saturday afternoon, and saturday evening. there is a block party and baltimore's brooklyn

neighborhood, called brooklyn, day an annual event has been happening for 20 plus years. normally a very festive event attracting hundreds of people, but then police say at around 12:30 early sunday morning, just after midnight on saturday night, gunshots broke out and that is when chaos there upton. we have been seeing and showing surveillance media throughout the day, 20 people injured, of course those two people you mentioned -- they were both killed. now this, one kaitlyn, like you, said there have been no arrests, but we heard from police and city officials today, and like i said earlier, today they are putting all their resources right now to finding these, to if not more potential shooters in this case. >> all right, then, it keep us updated on the latest on that. thank you for that update as we are looking for it. also tonight, switching gears, a territorial dispute at a south china sea, and the new barbie movie now have a strange connection. we will tell you what it is next. >> hi, ken.
