5:07 am
countries that the u.s. had to tap but into to create a deal here for americans and others to be released. and so this morning hearing from national security adviser jake sullivan, who said that over the last few weeks and months they had to put pieces into play that required leaning on germany's slovenia, poland, and norway again, to get russians to make this deal worthwhile. now, this wasn't easy. this again required a conversations between the president and counterparts, as well as the vice president knew had for example, meetings with the chancellor in munich earlier this year so those were some of the details we were learning over the course of the last 24 hours, including the president calling the slovenian prime minister only an hour before he also withdrew from the presidential race last week. now of course, this culminated in this remark google moment that we saw play out on the tarmac at joint base andrews just yesterday that was again,

different speech. we wednesday night dynamite at 8:00 on tbs new this morning in washington, dc federal judge tanya chutkan is set to regain control of the criminal case against former president trump or his attempt to overturn the 2020 election. >> now, this comes with just 94 days left until this election day and barely a month after the supreme court ruled to trump has sweeping immunity for official acts. he took as part president, let's bring in cnn senior justice correspondent evan perez, who joins us with the latest so evan, even if judge chutkan has the case back today, what does that mean? what can we expect to happen next? >> well, the first thing that we might see from the judge is an order telling the two sides telling donald trump and telling the justice department to essentially tell her what they want to do and to set it up, perhaps a briefing schedule, and that could happen as soon as today. it could happen in the next in the next few days but look, i mean, the former president's strategy of delaying this case to make sure
5:16 am
that it doesn't happen before the election is pretty close to being accomplished. i mean, it's very, very hard to see how you can fit a case like this in between now and those 94 days before the election, as you pointed out? and so, the strategy has been aided by a number of things, including of course, the supreme court does. supreme court, you'll remember omar ruled in a month ago, just over a month ago that the former president had broad immunity for official acts. and one of the most important parts of that ruling was all just also to say that justice department essentially couldn't use some of the key evidence that it has in this case, some of the evidence from close aides, people like mike pence, people like mark meadows, some of that evidence could be essentially off-limits for prosecutors and that could make this case be much much harder to bring and which is why judge chutkan is going to have to do more proceedings, more hearings to be able to
5:17 am
determine whether to move forward and how to move forward in the next few weeks. now, all of that means that the pressure is on. the judge has made clear that she does believe this case should go to trial before the election that may come panics of that. the procedure to get there is going to be the more difficult part of that, omar. >> it was already complicated procedure and now made even more so. evan really appreciate the reporting. thanks. sure. >> all right. coming up for us, the historic prisoner swap took months to put together. we're going to have new details on the incredible steps it took to make this happen and tom cruise set to do tom cruise thanks form. a big stunt at the olympics we'll tell you all about it coming up this election season, state he was cnn with more reporters on the ground. >> and the best political team in the business follow the voters, follow the results, follow the facts follow cnn can

right now, the funeral of hamas's political leader, ismail haniah is underway in qatar. >> his assassination earlier this week and now has israel and the united states bracing for retaliation has iran has promised a harsh and painful their words response to the killing, the killing that happened on their soil. but we now also have new reporting that president biden is weighing, sending more and new defensive military deployments. that's how it's being described to the middle east to prepare iranian retaliation is what we're talking about that the white house has said and concerned again this morning two us could include an attack on american forces here's what's folks, the spokesperson for the white house national security council, john kirby, told us last hour when you're talking resources, is that is that people are is that hardware its most likely going to be a combination of both, of course, because it's not just
5:23 am
hardware when you're, when you're adding capability to a region, you've got to add and troops into that mix as well to maintain and operate that equipment cnn's natasha bertrand is at the pentagon with much more natasha. what more are you learning? >> yeah okay. so when a call with prime minister, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu last night, president biden did preview that the u.s. is prepared to send additional us military defensive equipment and deployments to the middle east to protect the israelis. and of course, us forces from a potential iranian retaliation here, this is something that the u.s. is actively preparing for because the iranians have pretty directly threatened that they are going to respond to the assassination of the hamas leader into iran earlier this week. and so what that looks like remains unclear us central command were told has been in talks with the pentagon about which assets they can kind of move around at this point in the region they already have quite a few naval assets in the area, including and fabius
5:24 am
assault ships in the eastern mediterranean, which are very close to lebanon at this point, as well as a carrier strike group that is in the gulf of oman that could potentially be moved even closer to the lebanon if in case some kind of conflict breaks out, it could also be moved to the red sea to try to prevent, for example attacks from iran-backed militias, including the houthis, from impacting any us forces and allies in the region. and so they have a number of options here. but in terms of what this attack might actually look like, they are bracing for something that could be potentially much larger, more complex, more coordinate needed than even what we saw from iran against israel in april, or they launched those massive barrage of ballistic missiles and drones at the israelis that was intercepted in large part by the us and a coalition of allies that came together to try to protect the israelis against this attack. this could be even bigger according to us officials so that is what they are bracing for here. >> but the big question of course, is whether the u.s.
5:25 am
>> is going to actually be able to get that coalition together. once again, to take down any kind of attacks that iran may love at israel and coordination, perhaps with hezbollah, which of course is a very powerful paramilitary force in southern lebanon. and so they're also bracing at this point for attacks on us forces in the middle east by those iran-backed proxy groups. pretty much everything is on the table here and the pentagon, as usual, is preparing for all possible contingencies and outcomes here good yeah, it's your as you're listening and out, it's like so everything everything is on the table and everything has to be prepared for sure, natasha, thank you so much. great reporting as always ahead for us and missing bike part helped police catch a fugitive who's been on the run for 30 years. donald trump says, he is not weird. you are when to trade

5:31 am
locations led to the historic prisoner swap that freed 16 people, including three americans from russian detention. >> president biden, vice president harris, they say it could not have been done without the help from america's allies, something they stressed last night night, they'd negotiations involving several countries, including germany, poland, slovenia, and turkey. cnn's kylie atwood is at the state department with much more on this. i mean, talk about a feat of diplomacy, not just getting people out of russia, but all of the american allies that it took to do so. what do you learning about this that's right, kate, and i think it's really interesting to account how this all came together from talking to sources with my colleagues. >> we've learned that effectively the foundation for this deal started to be built back in january. that's when president biden had a phone call with german chancellor olaf scholtz and he said, listen, when you come to the white house later this month, there's something i want to talk to you about that's vadym
5:32 am
krasikov. that is the former fsb officer. we have been talking about. he was serving a life prison sentence in germany for murdering someone in broad daylight. and the u.s. had come to the conclusion because russia had resisted pass posel is to release these americans that, that them krasikov had to be included. the germans to date had rejected any of those offers to try and get them to involve that them krasikov. but when president biden met with olaf scholtz in the white house in the middle of january. we're told according to a senior administration official that a love shack both said to biden for you. i will do that do this, and that's what really set off. the next eight months of trying to put together a deal that included that krasikov, but there were fits and starts. it was not exactly easy when alexei navalny died in the middle of february, he was someone that they were thinking about, including as part of this deal. so they had to go back to the drawing board. it was by late march that us officials came up with
5:33 am
a full list that could be included in this massive swap, including krasikov, president biden actually wrote a letter at that time to olaf scholtz on this topic. and then it was in early june. i want to bring you to the south more time months here, kate, we're germany agreed to include krasikov, then this list was presented to russian intelligence officers in a third country, a middle eastern country, by cia officials. and it wasn't until about two weeks before this swap happened that russia actually transmitted formal notice to the united states through intelligence channels that they had actually accepted the deal. and that's what put the wheels churning on all of these efforts to actually logistically bring this together over the last few hours, 24 hours or so we've heard the biden administration, as you said, talk about the importance of alliances in bringing this to fruition. listen to what the vice president said last night on
5:34 am
the tarmac when those americans had landed here in the united states this is just extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of and understands the strength that rests in understanding is significant. it's up to policy. and strengthening minds and of course, this comes amid some criticism that the biden ministration has received for creating a number of these russians who were russian spies, who were russian convicts around the world but the biden ministration is saying that they believe that this was the only deal he'll they could get together. >> this is the best deal that they could and it was worth it to release these americans, some of whom had been behind bars for years. kate sullivan, kylie, great reporting. >> thank you. omar now, all the families of the three freed americans are celebrating the
5:35 am
historic prisoner swap that brought their loved ones home. >> the family of marc fogel says they feel betrayed that he wasn't part of the exchange. now, fogel is serving 14 years at a russian labor camp on drug charges. here's what his sister told cnn about him. now not being included in the swap it's been one of the most frustrating times of my life to not be heard or taken seriously we don't have the nba and we don't have the wall street journal backing us. >> and we've mark has been largely ignored and i should point out the national security of industry are jake sullivan says they're still working on mark full was case, but joining me now is founding partner and washington correspondent for puck news. >> julia ya fee julia, really
5:36 am
appreciate you being here. i want to step back a second and look at what president biden said on this. do we have a sense in regards to working with many allies, nato included to make this happen. do we have a sense of why donald trump wasn't able to secure paul whelan's release when he was in the white house while we know from the wall street journal's reporting actually that the russians did approach him about freeing paul whelan in 2018 after he was arrested in exchange for viktor boot and a russian pilot that had been taken prisoner by the americans in a few years earlier. >> and the russians had felt that these, these people had been unjustly imprisoned in third countries not in the u.s. at the u.s kind of violated all kinds of terms by arresting russians. and third countries and donald trump said no. so when president biden yesterday
5:37 am
in his press conference with the hostages, families said in response to a question, why didn't donald trump do this? he said he could have done this, but he didn't. and it seems from the journals all own reporting that he was approached with a deal and he said no. >> and of course we saw that play out in this case. victor boot was exchange with brittney griner, but vadim krasikov was imprisoned in germany and he was one of the main targets, it seems for russia here. and in his remarks from the white house earlier today or earlier, i should say i guess last night it's hard to keep track of time in the overnight hours, but it matters to have relationships is what he said, referencing germany, poland, sylvania how do you see this exchange in the context of a strong nato, which biden has frequently touted here well, i think it's crucial, right? this was a very heavy lift for the germans. they didn't want to relive release. could i sick of, let's recall what he did.
5:38 am
he's an fsb hitman who killed somebody in a kremlin ordained hit in a berlin then park at 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon, there were kids around there were moms around this is pretty graphic stuff. he was arrested and given a life sentence. and there were people inside the german government, including ministers who were against this deal, who are against releasing him and against the precedent it would set, especially in terms of not getting germans out, but being leaned on by the older brother, diplomatic older brother, the u.s. to get one of theirs out to do that, you need the kind of solid, strong friendships that president biden described. if you see, i've written about this before, if you see alliances as a kind of what have you done for me lately thing. if you treat your allies the way a loan shark would treat somebody who owes them money there's no
5:39 am
way that they're going to do this for you. i mean, this was a hard lift for the slovenian's the norwegians, the polls is there was a lot involved and for viewers who don't know what it's like to work in government. i mean, the level of coordination required, right? each of these countries has intelligence services a criminal justice system that may be against this because we've done our process, we've tried and convicted them. why should we be releasing them a diplomatic corps that has to be dealt with, right? the level of coordination must have been unbelievable yeah. >> and to your point, it's hard to coordinate even within a single government at this point. now you're talking about multiple departments multiple countries, governments, some who don't have the best relationships, seven, each other exactly julia afi really appreciate you being here and breaking news just moments ago, new data in from the u.s. government showing the jobs market cooling off far more than expected last month, adding just 114,000 jobs in

july, unemployment rate ticking up. paula newton has much more on this bring us up to speed, paula, what are these numbers mean yeah this was much lower than expected both the overall number 100 and 114,000 jobs created, but also that unemployment rate 4.3%. we have not seen that kind of unemployment rate in the united states since the earlier in 2021, you're talking when we were coming out of the pandemic, what is certain here is that the economy is at a real pivot point. and we had some warnings kate, of this when amazon reported earlier this week, they quoted likely the consumer, right? and that is a good measure. they are saying that consumers are cautious and perhaps we're seeing it in this ad to that too broad layoffs, i do want to get to when we look at that unemployment rate and you can see it sky-high, right? during the pandemic starts to come down way below 4% americans feeling good about the jobs that they have and feeling that
5:41 am
they couldn't go out and get other jobs better paying jobs now, it looks like while it's still job growth, which we have to keep in mind is a good thing that growth is much slower and key here, kate much slower than expected. i also want to show you how many jobs were created, 100 117, yeah, it's not anything to write home about in this summer jobs campaign, you can see it's almost as low as it wasn't april. now, april might've been a blip, but the problem is, the government is also revising down its estimates of how many jobs were created earlier in june as well let's have a look at the futures. kate you will guess right? the futures market isn't liking this at all. we are in for a bad day on the markets. i assume what we have to watch now is the federal reserve. and if they will continue to lower rates everyone expects them to lower rates in september, some thought they should have done it earlier, like last week when they had their meeting in order to bring it down a quarter
5:42 am
point, they decided pardon me, earlier this week, they decided against that. some thought they should have moved to lower interest rates to kind of really boost that economy a little bit more. they did not so now we wait to see what happens. it's september, but more importantly, we wait for new data and we see if they're going to continue to cut throughout the year okay yeah. >> and part of what's pushing futures down on what we saw yesterday with the markets is this fear of a rate cut in september? is that now too late given where things are headed? but we will see all together. let's see where it goes. it's good to see you, paula. thank you so much. >> omar. >> well, the first female nurse to ever graduate from the army's toughest course, ranger school tells us how being a nurse is exactly what and tom cruise is on a top secret mission to perform a stunt at the olympics closing ceremony will explain coming up cnn business update the jobs report fees brought to you by

5:49 am
like the new democratic attempt to label him weird have you? >> i've ever seen her with a laugh and everything else that's a weird deal going on there to steer the weird ones. nobody has ever called me weird. >> a lot of things were weird. i'm not i am word though. >> it's been a strange thing. i have to say that seem to start with democratic governor tim walz talking like tim walz does like this like how he does it, and then it just took off like wildfire. you can't find a democrat who was talking politics and talking about this presidential race, who isn't leaning into calling donald trump and now j.d. vance weird is there an expiration date to this stuff? cnn's harry enten is here with me now, do people think that this name-calling is having an impact? >> i'm not the puppet you're the puppet. alright, let's take a look this to me, you know, oftentimes disease attack lines and politics that religious don't take hold but to me it feels like a lot of folks are interested in this attack line. so this is google searches for
5:50 am
weird. this is compared to the three last three months look at this, it's up 22%, my god, over the last week. how about over the last three days, searches for weird are up 32%. and of course we're, it gets searched all the time, right? because, you know, i'm weird your weird, et cetera. >> but now you really are. >> i really am weird, right? so when you see these kind of giant jump, you go to yourself. wait a minute, something is definitely driving this. people are interested in the word weird and the question of course, kate bolduan is why are they interested in the word weird? >> answer me that question. can they be searching weird for nonpolitical reasons? >> could be searching weird. they could be searching for me, for example all right. >> topics increasingly searched with weird on google. >> these are the things that are increasingly linked to searches with weird look at that tim walz. so you mentioned who started that tagline. how about make america great again, how about the gop? how about j.d. vance? so the fact is you're seeing these india increases in searches for the word weird and then the topics
5:51 am
that are increasingly searched with the word weird are all political, all of which are attack lines. i don't think republicans like, but of course tim walz absolutely likes. it shows that it is penetrating the zeitgeist and actually shows that it's a rare political attack that people are looking up fine line. and the fact that we're still talking about and tim walz started this line of like, wow, how long ago, days ago, but here's the thing. >> there's not there's other there's no line, direct line yet to it's being said and it's pushing people to do x like it's being said. and now less people are excited about donald trump and j.d. vance. but what are they saying? but i mean j.d. vance is now in this right so the original thing was the idea that j.d. >> vance was just a weirdo in the minds of a lot of democrats. i want you to childless cat lady, childless cat lady exist yeah, exactly right. take a look here. jd vance's net favorable ratings. look, he was already the least like vp nominee coming out mentioned, you see that ap norc earlier this month, mid july minus five point, the abc news
5:52 am
ipsos poll minus six points. but look at this week, so we basically have this timeline. we're able are able to show in very recent polling data, look at jd vance's net favorable rating in api nor dropping by eight points to -13 points. how about abc news ipsos dropping to -15 points? so it seems that the the attack lines against j.d vance are working. am one of those big attack lines, of course, is the idea that he is weird and it's definitely being increasingly searched with his name and obviously other things associated with republicans. and the effect it stay here, stay here for one second. >> i want to go back to where you are, right? >> you say here mid-july, a lot of people didn't no j.d. >> vance, correct? >> this week, people do know j.d. vance bingo, but sometimes isn't as in politics, that just once you get on a ticket, once you are not no longer labeled a contender for, but you are the whatever you're favourability drops that may be true if we were go months into advance, right. but if you look at folks looks like sarah palin, you look at pokes like dan quayle, folks who went onto sort of vp information, all of
5:53 am
them had net favorability ratings at plus ten or better. the fact that key is so disliked, so early on to me that suggests that there's something unique about j.d vance and it's not just the weird thing, but i think the weird attack line is absolutely having an impact. folks, just have a visceral dislike for him as we see in these numbers right here i finally learned something from you, harry. >> thank you. >> finally, i would have talked to all these weeks, years, months? >> nope. know, just weird. >> definitely not i'm not going to get in on that conversation. >> i'm gonna move on because we've got a lot of news that we've been following, including this historic home i'm coming three nightmare is over for the three americans freed from russian prisons. now, in texas, after the massive trade that played out between several countries over the course of many months. joining me now is democratic congresswoman when grace meng of new york, congresswoman, thanks for being here really appreciate it now, when these americans came back biden touted the importance of allies today. obviously this is, this was a swap involved in multiple
5:54 am
countries across nato and across europe as well given how trump is treated, some of those allies, again, particularly in nato so could a swap of this scale have happened if trump was in office wow, i don't think it would. >> and obviously, it didn't. i'm so grateful to president joe biden and vice president kamala harris. and the entire administration who got this done. this really does joe as our president said, the importance of allyship around the country. and i'm so grateful that these americans are finally home with their loved ones. >> and just to point out, it's in the trump administration and folks came home as well, but this particular deal was historic in nature, hasn't haven't seen an exchange like this since going back to the cold war days, but also this is happening in the context of an election year which is already being made clear by trump's running mate, j.d. vance, who had this to say about the deal
5:55 am
we have to ask ourselves, why are they coming home? >> and i think it's because bad guys all over the world recognize donald trump's about to be back in office, so they're cleaning house. that's a good thing. and i think it's a testament to donald trump's strength and i will say john kirby over at the white house said there was no evidence of that, but we've also seen trump react to the news saying he's gotten back many hostages and given the opposing country, nothing. i mean, my basic question is, what is your reaction to this historic news? this historic prisoner swap already playing into the presidential well race while this is just yet another example of president joe biden, not just doing his job, but doing an excellent job. >> joe biden was already working on this for months on end and we even heard in the hours before he announced that he was withdrawing from the race. he was making phone calls to world leaders to get this done. and president biden is still going to be our president for the remainder of this year,
5:56 am
and he is still going to work as hard as he can for the american people. >> and on the other side of things, a white house official told cnn, the kamala harris, vice president kamala harris played a role in the diplomatic efforts to get the most important country in this, i would argue germany on the board with the swap that she met privately with olaf scholz in february at the munich security conference about this that she spoke with yulia navalny how exactly if we're going to stay within the realm of politics, how exactly do you think this helps are in an election year versus, versus trump? >> well there's a really sharp contrast of two presidential nominees right now and who can get the job done and who is qualified. we have seen our vice president kamala harris worked side-by-side with president joe biden and getting the job done for the american people oh, and this is just yet another example of how our relationships and our allies around the world really do
5:57 am
matter when donald trump was in office. the way that he led was weird. and also hurt our relationships with so many of our allies around the country. and that's why we were able to see joe biden biden and kamala harris get the job done congresswoman grace being really appreciate you taking the time. >> thanks for being here thank you. african-american sororities and fraternities, known as the divine nine, have become a powerful force in the 2024 presidential election. they've been mobilizing for vice president kamala harris, who has, who has been a member of alpha kappa alpha sorority since 1986. and cnn's rene marsh, she dives in, she takes a look on how the divine nine is already shaping this election. >> 321, a picture of political power. these are members of the so-called divine nine nine,
5:58 am
historically black fraternities and sororities formed more than a century ago when black people couldn't join while organizations, the divine nine has been a force and movements from civil rights to voting rights. and they say their political strength will make history once again, this election day one, kamala harris kicks off with an army. look at just this force in this room. >> kamala harris joined alpha kappa alpha sorority in 1986 and howard university, making her one of the 2.5 million members of the divine nine. cnn sat down with a room full of divine nine members speaking in their own capacity and not but on behalf of their organizations. there aware of their potential political influence this election, and they're excited to wield it 2.5 million strong now, look at how we can reach out our families, our friends, our churches. we are the girl scout leaders we are the boy scout
5:59 am
leaders. we represent every facet of black america. >> we are credible messengers. we have been in the communities. we have working with the sub-populations and they trust us harris and her campaign understands the value of this built-in political infrastructure and they're leaning into it in july alone, vice president harris harris has spoken at the national convention's for three divine nine sorority's. >> harris is poised to leverage this voting bloc at a level we haven't seen from a presidential nominee me before. >> we're not waiting for someone else to tell us what to do and how to do it. what creating our own playbook, what is this going to look like in practice? niccol terms after church on sunday we go now stares to the fellowship on register people that aren't going to go seniors. >> they can't stroll to the polls were going downstairs and we've got to get them absentee ballot, knocking on doors, phone calls, texts, painting this coalition is politically sophisticated, digging into
6:00 am
strategy for battleground states like pennsylvania, we really need turnout in philadelphia and we need an uncertain pockets and sharpening the message just to motivate voters. >> and we say things like democracy is on the line. i think no propensity voters, they don't know what we have been very larry simple talking points. >> we also have white male counterparts that we also need to educate on how overly qualified this candidate is. >> what i hear you saying is that but the reach of the divine nine will not be limited to the black community they believe this political moment will make history for america and the divine hi, what people are going to walk away with is that our organizations are forced to be reckoned with what he spoke with several of the individuals you saw on that piece there after donald trump's comments here at the national association of black journalists convention here in chicago, where i am and the consensus was they found the comments to be disrespectful particularly we they
