set glitch. >> donald trump's ballyhooed re-entry to twitter gets the desantis treatment if you have a big interview to do, but are on a tight schedule, it is something to consider breaking overnight. russian president vladimir putin now vowing to respond to ukraine's surprise attack. as you grants president says the war is coming home to russia and scorching summer heat is getting turbo charge. >> we experienced a second hottest july in history the american cities experiencing the most dangerous heat. i'm sara sidner with john berman and kate bolduan. this is cnn new central this morning, the glitch heard in the world.

>> that is if you believe the new claim from elon musk of the rubin, a billion views of his interview with donald trump overnight. and then discussions about it. it's unclear how he got to that number book, whether it was dozens of people or quadrillions who did turn it tune in what they heard was a major technical delay followed by relative fawning. then the normal campaign rhetoric, some people even claim they heard a list these were some of the attacks on his opponents kamala wouldn't have this conversation. >> she can't because he's not he's not a smart person. he is a radical left san francisco liberal and now she's trying to protect. now she's looking like his he wants to be more trump than trump. as possible. i don't think it's possible, but he wants to be more trump. did trump. she's terrible, but he's getting a free ride. >> maybe more of a hiss than a list there. cnn's alayna treene is with us this morning. so how did the trump team think

that when especially for the first 40 minutes or so? >> i mean, look, what was supposed to be donald trump's triumphant return to x, formerly known as twitter, was marred by these technical difficulties. it really, it took them 40 minutes for this to get underway after the allotted 8:00 p.m. start time. but once it did john, we really did hear the two of them were sympathetic partners to each other. the heaped praise on each other, musk lobbed softball questions at the former president and it really allowed him to kind of rattle off the same exact talking points we hear at all of his rallies and while donald trump is on the campaign trail, we heard trump go after him. harris attacker on the border attack, joe biden for claiming are his claims that he failed to prevent the wars in the middle east and in ukraine. and he also tried to portray that america was better off while donald trump was in office, now

one interesting thing that i took away as he spent a lot of time attacking joe biden, even though biden is no longer his opponent, even if donald trump sometimes wishes he were, i want you to take a listen to what he said here's the coup. >> this was a coup of a president of the united states. he didn't want to leave and they said we can do it that night. oh, we can do it the hard way yeah. i'm just talking them out back behind the shed and basically shot him what they did with this guy. >> and i'm no fan of his and he was a horrible president at the worst president president in history now, john, you know you can hear there that is something donald trump says often on the campaign trail at his rallies. >> but the underlying thing there, and what i hear from my conversations with trump's advisors, those people close to the former president, is that you know, he still is holding on to joe biden i'm kind of wishing that that were the man that he was going up against, not harris. and you can hear some of that in that conversation last night, but i

think really you know, my big takeaway was that musk really allowed donald trump to own that space. a lot of people had texted me some of donald trump's allies being like this is exactly what the former president sounds like. when you're just on a phone conversation with him, of course, this lasted over two hours would be a very lengthy conversation, but it was a very casual setting, partly because donald trump is very comfortable with musk. we know that when it's a friendly interviewer, the one that he's talking with, that he's a little bit more candid, but we really didn't learn anything new about his views we really heard the same exact talking points that donald trump often shares. and a lot of times you actually heard must try to steer him toward, making a certain campaign point. and donald trump instead used it to air the same grievances that he always does. so we didn't learn a lot that was new, but it was very clear that the two were heaping praise on each other. and we're in joining just having that time to talk it out all right. >> alayna treene for us. thank you so much for that. kate.

>> so the way the trump campaign had promoted this was that it would be the interview of the century, the harris campaign, though, billing it as a conversation between their quote to self obsessed rich guys donald trump and elon musk. let's get over to cnn's isaac dovere, who has more on this side of it. the harris campaign is trying to have a heyday with this one. what are they doing with it? >> yeah look kate, they are trying their best to mock this, not just the technical problems which there were many, but the kind of conversation that had there. and it is part, and parcel of the harris campaign's attempt here to continue to make out the trump campaign and donald trump himself and his top supporters as part of sort of like a cynical circus act here, really denigrating them, making front of them every which way they can. there's a statement from the harris campaign last night, trump's entire campaign is in service so people like elon musk can himself self obsessed rich guys who will sell out the

middle-class, and it cannot run a live stream in the year 2024. that's the way that this is going from the harris campaign overall, the vice president herself not really addressing trump directly at any point so far over the last three weeks, except to say she knows this hi, but the campaign to take those digs every which way they can yes. >> i think next week is the democratic convention. >> what more are you learning about the preps and plans for it well, now we know that brock obama will be speaking on tuesday night of the convention. >> we've got barack obama there along with hillary clinton, bill clinton, joe biden and of course we'll be there and then tim walz and kamala harris on thursday night, herself this is part of the attempt that we will have from the democratic party to show that they're about unity, about coming together, especially after that really nightmarish month of july for them as they tried to figure out what to do about joe biden, obviously so they, many of them pushing biden to leave the race, but connected collective

message from democrats that they're trying to move forward as a country, it is, i will say a pretty stark contrast to the republican convention where you did not have previous nominees for president or vice president there in milwaukee with donald trump as trump tries to make the republican party overall reshaped in his own image, the democratic party coming together with through all these generations and president's over the course of the four nights next week in chicago? >> yeah. know mitt romney, know paul ryan know george w bush that was, that was part of the show at the republican convention of this is not that republican party anymore for sure. good to see you, isaac. thank you so much sir. >> all right. long time operative roger stone at the center of another campaign controversy. why the fbi believes iran hacked into his email and no taxes on tips. both kamala harris, and donald trump's campaigns want to eliminate those taxes, but their plans very different. and remember the studies that said

official. the campaign is blaming iran, cnn's katelyn polantz is joining me now the campaign is blaming iran. have we heard anything from officials about what was in the emails and be whether or not and who's behind this attack? >> yes, sir. we're getting little drips and drabs of what is out there right now piecing together this story, but it goes back to june. that's when this hacking incident took place at according to one of the sources that spoken to cnn about this, roger stone, that political adviser around donald trump for many years now, his personal email was compromised and it was from a foreign state actor and what the attempt there was, was to use roger stone's personal email account to get into the account or accounts of other people in the trump campaign trying to fish them for information to get in and specifically to get into the the account of another unnamed senior trump campaign

official. now, roger stone was contacted by microsoft and the fbi, and i spoke to an attorney of his last night who said in a statement that he is continuing to cooperate with authorities here, the fbi has been vital very tight lipped on exactly what they're saying. but so far we have a statement from them saying they are investigating this matter, and then this all come sara and a broader moment where the fbi has been very aware and briefing both campaigns that iranian hackers are targeting or could be targeting them and this is a moment where iran wants to undercut donald trump's campaign. and so social discord iran has denied the allegations, and we're going to continue to follow this story. sara all right. >> katelyn polantz. thank you so much for your reporting. john. >> all right. this morning, vice president harris has publicly adopted one policy that was previously put forth by donald trump. and he's not

she comes out with what? that cnn's matt egan is with us this morning. >> so matt, what would it look like ending taxes on tips? well, john, first of all, you got to love how the two candidates are arguing, even when they broadly agree on policy kind of reminds me of my two boys at home, including the part over arguing over who said it first. >> but the goal here would be simple. they're trying to boost the after tax take home pay of workers right last month, an uncle sam means more workers, more money for bartenders and uber drivers, and waiters and waitresses. now, listen to the two candidates. pitch this idea to voters at separate campaign rallies, starting with former president trump in june in las vegas when i get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips, people making he will continue our fight for working families including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate

taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers now, trump and harris have another thing in common here in that neither of them have released detailed proposals. >> here's but here what we hear is what we do know about the harris plan to eliminate taxes on tips, it would apply to hospitality and service workers. the tips would remain subject to payroll taxes harris wants to pair this with a push to raise the minimum wage. and of course, this would require congressional approval. know, this is one of those ideas that politicians love economist. they're a little bit more skeptical. one of the concerns is that this would really only apply to a small slice of workers that raises some fairness questions, right? like, why should third a bartender get to duck taxes on tips, but a warehouse worker making the same amount of money have to pay taxes on wages, believe it or not, just 2.5% of all employees actually get tips according to yale university, these tend to be lower wage jobs like food delivery workers and hotel staffers and that's

important because it means a lot of them, they don't make enough money to even pay federal taxes. yale estimates just 37% of tipped workers in 2022 actually owed federal income taxes even viewer restaurant workers did. and all of this explains why erica york at the tax policy, that the tax foundation told me that this is good politics, but bad policy, john. >> so i did see in the harris plan they can find it to serve as an haspil hospitality workers, but without those limitations, one thing i know about really wealthy people, they don't like paying taxes do you think there'll be some avenue for them to maneuver, maybe make your salary one $1. what you get million dollars in tips for doing whatever it is you do. >> definitely, of course, that is a major concern because this would essentially incentivize people to reclassify ordinary income as tipped income. and it's easy to see how without garden rails, you could have wealthy earners sort of game the system that's why the harris campaign says that they

would have guardrails. one, they would have an income limit to they would have requirements to prevent hedge fund managers and lawyers from benefiting. but implementing those requirements is not easy. the devil would really be in the details and other concern though, is the cost here, right? because this would come at a time when we have high deficits. a lot of national debt and estimates from the committee for responsible federal budget. they say that if you exclude tips from federal income taxes, that would cause at least 107 billion over a decade. if you also include, if you also so exclude tips from the payroll tax, this could spike to as much as 250 billion over decades on one last point, this does not address the elephant in the room. the expiring 2017 trump tax cuts, nor the fact that the federal budget is a mess. hopefully we hear more details on that in the coming days. >> i feel like we should be tipping we are correspondent defense here, much appreciate it. tax-free. matt egan. thank you very much for donald trump

and elon musk. fair to our conversation and trump's signaling, he's willing to offer musk a role in his next administration. if you win, and inside russia as ukraine strikes back this morning, vladimir putin is vowing to respond cnn is live from chicago as democrats unite to offer their support to a new nominee and her running he made fellow cnn for complete coverage. >> the democratic national convention monday at seven on cnn and streaming on back for 150 years. >> it's never been about what we're here to help protect you from it's always been about what we're here to help protect you for any updates on the link grow to the town hall

the president will be announcing $150 million new federal funding for cancer research, treatment, and prevention it's part of what has been dubbed joe biden's cancer moonshot initiative. and this will be biden's first official travel since he ended his reelection bid. cnn's kevin liptak is at the white house. he has more on this for us kevin, the cancer moonshot initiative. this is personal for president biden as well. >> yeah, it really is in this event today really does give you a good indication of how president biden plans to send the remainder of his term really zeroing in on these items that are so important to him. remember this cancer moonshot, he actually began when he was vice president following the death of his son, beau biden from a particularly aggressive form of brain cancer. he revived it when he returned to the white house and he has made the goal of cutting cancer deaths in half in 25 years, which is an ambitious goal, but experts say it's achievable with the right reasons. sources behind it. and

that is exactly what president biden will be doing today in new orleans hill tour, a medical facility at tulane and announced $150 million in new research initiatives trying to develop technologies that would allow surgeons to develop procedures that would better remove tumors from cancer patients. it's part of an initiative that he put together with republicans and democrats and the department of health and human services. and it's all part of what he has called this unity agenda, trying to find areas where republicans and democrats can agree. and certainly the cancer moonshot is one of those things i think this is certainly something that president biden will want to talk a lot about in the months ahead in this reshaped version of his presidency. of course, he's no longer campaigning for president. now he really does want to focus on things that will comprise his legacy. and this is one of those his aides have really

been recalibrating what he will be working on for the next several months. part of what he's trying to do is ensure that these initiatives have money going out the door in order to fund them in this so certainly one of them hill, obviously also be focused on foreign policy, the war in the middle east. the biggest item there. and he will also be focused on helping kamala harris get elected. we will see the pair of them out on the road this week in maryland's talking about the economy. okay. >> yeah. and thursday that's going to be a big moment for both of them. great to see you, kevin. thank you, sir. >> all right. thank you. this morning, donald trump and elon musk's big late-night chat generating some buzz because of what was not said, nothing for more than 40 minutes, a major tech glitch delay the start and stole some of the thunder from what trump and musk were finally able to say, which felt a lot like a budding bromance. listen not all endorsements to mean that much to be honest, your endorsement meant a lot. i haven't been active in really

active in politics before and i just want to point out that my track record is starkly as been moderate, if not moderate, slightly left and this is two people out there who are in the moderate camp to say, i think you should support donald trump for president all right cnn media analyst sara fischer, joining us now. first let's get to the glitch musk blamed a combination of ddos attack and some unforced errors from x can you explain exactly what happened there and what this dds attack? is yes. >> so ddos stands for distributed denial of service attack. essentially, when somebody floods your system in order to shut it down, the problem with the ddos attack sara is that it often looks very much like just a very popular event. and so we're just sort of having to take musk's word for it. there has been third-party reporting that suggests it wasn't a deal dos attack. it was just x's systems responding to a flood of interest in this interview. but that actually speaks to some of the success of this interview, right? it was 40 minutes of

delay of glitches. but once it got up and running, you had i saw over 2 million people joining the space live. you had over 50 million people who viewed it. now views are not the same as how we count them in television but it's still got a lot of traction and i think part of that was because people wanted to hear from the president. i think the other part is people like listening to this broader bromance go down, elon musk isn't a journalist, he's not trying to press them on hard questions and you did see some sparks fly in that conversation at one point, the presence sort of suggesting that elon musk come and join his admitted this straighten. we'll see where that goes. >> let's go ahead and listen to that moment where it feels like a little quid pro quo. hey, come on my show. i'm not going to ask you a bunch of hard questions and then maybe this is. what trump says about elon musk joining his administration well, you you're the greatest qatar. >> i mean, i look at what you do. you walk in you want to go? say i won't mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and used it. that's okay. you're all gun you're all gone. so every one of you

has gone and you are the greatest, you would be very good you would be very good. >> he's talking about right? when elon musk bought twitter and fired a bunch of people, what do you make of this relationship that is clearly budding and whether or not you really could see donald trump's saying, hey, there's a position for you here on well, first of all, what a weird message for donald trump, because the last thing you want to do is disrupt the labor vote. and that is key, especially in those blue battleground states, when you come in and praise people who were doing cuts, that doesn't necessarily help with union voters. not that he would not that he was carrying so much favor with them. anyway. but look, even if donald trump were to said that elon musk, i want you to be a part of my administration. i think it's highly unlikely that you almost does that. he already faced a pretty big shareholder lawsuit from tesla investors when he was allocating too much time and energy to x, then twitter over tesla. but what he could do is he could be sort of an informal adviser, be one of these people that has the president's ear and sara that matters because eli musk is counting on regulators to

continue to invest in electric vehicles. that's not something that donald trump prioritize, but because of this budding bromance now he cares i want to read to you what the harris campaign said in response to all of this, especially that back-and-forth where someone saying maybe i'd be good for the job and the other guys saying, hey, yeah trump's entire campaign, this is from the kamala harris group is in the service of people like elon musk and himself, self obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle-class and who cannot run a live stream in the year 2024, what do you make of that message? yeah, that's how they're going to try to frame all of donald trump's support coming from silicon valley, right? oh, it's just the paypal mafia. oh, it's just billionaires. but sara, the problem is that not a lot of people see it that way. people see elon musk. a lot of people as giving a voice to the masses, as being more populist people see donald trump as being more populist. and so even if the harris campaign is going to try to convince people that this is just billionaires having fun. i think a lot of people saw it is just to regular people who are friends. that's how the american people might be looking at this sara

fischer. >> thank you so much for your analysis this morning. appreciate your time. john all right. >> joining us now is senator eric schmitt, a republican from missouri, senator great to see you this morning. one of the things that donald trump told elon musk last night was that the democrats changing their nominee was tantamount to a coup in last week at his news conference, he called it borderline unconstitutional. listen but the fact that you can be get no-votes lose in the primary system, and that you can then be picked to run for president. >> it seems, seems to me actually unconstitutional so senator, when you were attorney general in missouri, you filed election-related lawsuits. so you know the law here. what exactly in this case would you say would be unconstitutional? >> well i, think the main point is it's completely undemocratic that's different than being unconstitutional that's different than being unconstitutional.

>> i'm sorry. directors, anything that's unconstitutional, right i'm going, to have to look more closely at that, but i think they're probably, you know, what they're superdelegates. >> they kind of rig this system before when they were trying to afford bernie sanders. this is really nothing new for the democrat party to sort of avoid the will of their own folks who voted, nobody voted for kamala harris. and by the way, when she ran in you know, in 2021, they think she got like 6% of the vote. now, all of a sudden she is the second coming and the mainstream media is sort of doing this coronation and they'll cut reach its apex next week at their convention. but when that's all said and done in this honeymoon period is over here. the american people are gonna be left with no choice. are they better off now than they were? for four years ago? and kamala harris's or fingerprints all over the destruction they've had, whether it's the southern border or inflation so i do think it's odd, it's, it's strange, honestly how they got to this point right before the debate, they were saying his mental acuity was great, then all of a sudden they dumped him. so yeah, it is what it is we now we have the matchup and

i still present do you feel that it would be grounds for a lawsuit if she were to win the election in november i don't know about that. >> i think honestly our focus is just to make sure when at the ballot box. but anybody with a brain who's observing what happened under what would you do in the sense that joe it cool? >> fighting, would you rule it out when you rule out a lawsuit if that's not what i'm talking about what i'm talking about is avoiding the will of tens of millions of voters, which is exactly what the democrats did. they all voted for joe biden, nobody voted for kamala harris and so now they're going to roll into this convention and installed or is the nominee because his poll numbers were bad. so you talk about, look, the democrats have tried to jail their political opponents. they've tried to censor americans. they're trying to convert 10 million people in the illegal immigrants into voters. now they've been stalled somewhat getting any votes that's the real threat to democracy, john and anybody who's observing this since honest about it can see it.

>> i'm just trying to establish whether or not this might be a predicate for a future lawsuit because let's be honest, there is a history here and a history you were involved with with challenging election results. and i'm not sure whether you've ruled at in or out at this point correct well, i'm not attorney general in missouri i'm working to make sure president trump gets elected and making it observation that this is a very undemocratic way to get to a nominate somebody that didn't get any votes i want to ask you because you were involved in helping prep donald trump for the debate in june on cnn if you are going to be involved in prepping him for the september 10 debate against vice president harris. >> how do you think you would prepare him differently? >> well, those were policy discussions that i had and i was honored to do so. i do think as he roasted his whole sea of kamala harris actually agrees to multiple debates. she's refused now over three weeks to do any interviews, even on cnn or msnbc, or

wherever they might have a more friendly host. she doesn't do that. and so i think what you guys let into the exit interview with elon musk yesterday, that was an hour-and-a-half discussion. i'm confident kamala harris could not talk about policy coherently for an hour-and-a-half, the american people deserve that. so i think when they roll into that debate, you don't focusing on the issues we talk about. you know, struggling families they're paying more at the pump, they're paying more grocery store. so i think obviously tying her to her record, she was more liberal than bernie sanders. she was the tie-breaking vote for the american recovery act and the inflation reduction act, which was $2.4 billion trillion dollars, trillion dollars in spending. budget busting stuff. she's for the green new deal. her record is very are you liberal? and then in her first major decision, john, she chose a self about socialists as her running mate. that's not really in step with real america a socialist well, i think you said socialists is another term for neighborly. >> so i don't know what you call that. he seems to identify

as a socialist i'm not i'm not i'm not so sure about that center. but you said that you're not sure that vice president harris would be coherent in an interview, did you watch former president trump's news conference last week? would you characterize would what are the first words that comes to mind decoherence i think his ability to stand in front of a hostile media and answered questions for over an hour is something i would love to see kamala harris tried to do know, don't do it, but i reason why, but hang on is sensible we'd like to add we absolutely should listen. >> and i respect i respect you. >> but when you're donald trump, but donald trump, when he tells stories about people in helicopters that he was not with helicopters, that did not crash in conversations that did not happen, how coherent is that again he's the only

candidate running for president of the united states, willing to stand in front of the media and answer questions. kamala harris refuses to do it. and, you know, she's got a time magazine cover that came out today. she refused to do the interview for the puff piece so i think they're very afraid that once she's actually supposed to, john, actually, i would liken it to this. i think this is where we're at. >> it's like the backup quarterback. right? but backup quarterbacks seems like might be a better option until the backup quarterback gets into the game. and then you realize why it's the backup quarterbacks. so we're about ready to enter that phase. i think we're talking well, harris steps onto the field will see though maybe she'll avoided for another month. >> all i can say, senator, is that i'm from new england patriots fan and a backup quarterbacks have a decent history there. if you harken back to 2001 that it can work out. i don't think from the top all right i look forward to continuing this conversation center. been great having you on. thank you okay. here's some breaking news overnight. russian president vladimir putin is now vowing to respond,

threatening and promising to hit back hard after ukrainian forces seize dozens of dozens of russian villages over the last week 28 settlements in the kursk region are now under ukrainian control. videos have come out over the past few days showing ukrainian troops and forces taking down russian flags in those villages replacing them with ukrainian flags. its own forces. ukraine's forces marching miles across the russian border in this surprise operation, cnn's clare sebastian has the very latest on this for us. she's joining us now. clare, what is what are you learning yeah. >> well, this is still definitely ongoing when now a weekend, we're hearing of more evacuations this morning, the head of a region within the kursk region, a district that saying that many people have already left, but they are held hoping others. this is a district, by the way, that's not even adjacent to the border. so more displaced people on top of the around 180,000 evacuations that an already been ordered as of monday, russia is saying that

it is brought in reinforcements and continues to repel ukrainian attempts to advance. but the fact remains that they have not yet, as putin ordered on monday, managed to kick the enemy out. now, all of this, of course, creates a very delicate moment for putin himself. he chaired a meeting on monday with top officials, with heads of the regions that have been affected, those border regions. and it was very telling on the one hand, he blamed the west. he promised revenge, which is very typical of russia over the course of this war. but it was also clear that he was trying to gloss over how bad this actually is. take a listen to this exchange with the acting governor of the kursk region what's today, the enemy controls 28 population centers. the depth of its penetration into the kursk region as 12 kilometers, the length of the front is 40 kilometers listen, oleksiy arestovych, this is something you report to military agencies. >> what the width and depth did

is. >> you tell us about the social economics actuation, and aid for the people with him you had in that actually interrupting the acting head of the kursk region as he tried to explain how much territory is currently held or occupied. however you want to call it by ukraine, obviously, this is putin trying to show that he's in control. well so not playing this as too big of an incident because of the humiliation of course of this being the first time that a foreign power has held any part of russian territory since the second world war that historical contexts, very key here. it's great to see you, clare. thank you so much, sir. >> what a moment that right. >> all right this summer we had record breaking heat and it is only getting worse also, any amount of booze is a good for you. >> even just a little bit we'll talk about that. we're not going to be happy from leading

days over 95 degrees in the 50 biggest cities we have added another 800 days to that list over time. >> as you can see, that bar graph trending up here. but here's how the graphics, here's summers are getting longer. they're starting about ten days earlier. you can get that first scorching hot day in mid-june. now instead of late june, it can last all the way till mid september these days. so summer's lengthening. this is nationally though for the biggest city, okay. you said 1,000 plus 800. now it's almost double exactly wow. >> all right. there are specific though cities that are really feeling it the worst exactly. and we look at cities because it's the urban heat island so all that he bouncing off concrete streets, buildings and those sorts of things which can make them 20 degrees hotter. >> but you look at the cities in the desert southwest the ones that are really feeling it, or in nevada, texas, look at las vegas. now at three days above 95 degrees, that's an extra 17 and-a-half over the average from the past there san antonio, texas. this is crazy.

and in 1976, the experience, one week of extreme heat by last year, it was 13 weeks and increase of 1,200% there, nashville has also jumped up jacksonville, florida, atlanta's now getting 14 days, two weeks above 95 degrees other in the top ten dc baltimore, we've seen a lot of heat there. this summer. charlotte and even albuquerque out there. and then if you look at the number of days, 95 degrees in hotter howard's jump on, arizona's reeling feeling it. you saw a piece from a couple of weeks ago how they're now carrying body bags full of ice and every ambulance and phoenix mesa is up there. tucson has exploded, but that line from san antonio to talk about heat adaptation when you're not used to 13 weeks over 95 degrees, you just build a city and a society differently. so lessons for managers everywhere that this is here, you know, we say it's summer, it's hot, but this is scorching, this is dangerous here. i think anything over like 85 is your body can just not handle if you're outside

for too long of a period than anything over 103 or so, your brain is literally cooking your, your organs are failing. so the most vulnerable folks, the old, the young, the unhoused folks struggling with addiction. these are the folks we're dying as a result of this heat. >> it's really, really disturbing. bill weir. thank you so much. appreciate it. kate. >> so vocal critic of vladimir putin and survivor of two assassination attempts have vladimir car kara-murza he's now home, part of the largest us-russia prisoner swap exchange since the cold war, you spoke to cnn's erin burnett last night for the first time since his release i said that i had ten minutes to get up, get dressed, and get ready and i was absolutely certain about moment that i was going to be let out and get executed for these past two weeks. >> frankly, it felt as if i'm watching some sort of film. i mean, it's a really good feeling, but it's still feels completely surreal the entire interview is fascinating. >> hearing from him and his wife for the first time, he had

been in prison for more than two years, including 11 months in solitary confinement while in prison, he was allowed minimal contact with his family was transferred between 13 different prisons still clearly able to show some dry humor mitts at all. the one highlight that he noted cats at one of the russians prisons. he was held at where his only visitors who he called, his only interloper interlocutors. why can i not say that were to ever i apologize a new study finds older for adults do not benefit from moderate alcohol consumption, and that even light drinking could increase the risk for cancer. the studies out of britain attract 135,000 adults ages 60 and older for 12 years. so there's a lot of tv year researchers found no reduction in heart disease among light or moderate drinkers. puncturing previously held beliefs and hopes that light or moderate alcohol consumption is good for the heart sorry guys a big setback for robert f. kennedy junior's presidential campaign in new york. judge has ruled that his ballot access petition in the

does it impact your calculation for what you do know doesn't change anything at all it's still not going to vote for trump. regardless. so i'm not excited about voting for kamala harris, but it's better than the alternative. >> every vote counts though enthusiastic or not big, margins in the suburbs around philadelphia are critical for democrats. box is more blue collar and of late, the most competitive of the collar counties, if i were here the day after the debate and i asked to, you think biden could win pennsylvania you would have said no way. >> there would have been no way do you think harris can win pennsylvania i think she can. >> i think she can. i think the energy she's brought to the campaign, the fact that she's a woman and women's rights are going to be a big deal here in pennsylvania. and i think that's kind of where pennsylvania will go berks county is more rural and more trumpy just outside the suburban collar, but margins matter everywhere in the battlegrounds, joan london is an attorney for local governments. >> blinn farms zoning permit

status. we had a meeting this morning i'm very productive meeting, london cast her primary vote for haley, then switched her registration to independent. >> she worries about trump's course tone and what she sees as angry populism. a new worry since our last visit in may, trump running mate j.d. vance no cats, but married and childless now, even more proud, she left the gop. >> i've led a very full life that way, and to say, i don't have a stake in the future of the country i had i had some difficulty with that and all i could think of senator vance, are you going to tell and colder or condoleezza rice or elizabeth dole, they are miserable cat ladies. i don't, i don't think so. >> london plans to write in a conservative, but she leaves the harris window open just a crack. >> if donald trump or j.d. vance really says something so outrageously plea offensive that could drive me to vote for vice president harris, but it's highly unlikely she just doesn't she doesn't represent

my values, my belief it's about policy, media is in delaware county. >> cynthia sabatini knows a lot about the change here. >> my street was rock-ribbed republican now, you have to shake a stick to find the republican. >> cheney is also never trump. >> and i watch his campaign rallies it's all about him it's, not about the country. >> this is now the third campaign in which these never trump voters hold significant sway in 2016, sabatini wrote in a republican senator, trump narrowly won pennsylvania in 2020. >> she voted for biden. >> was that hard? >> no, because i didn't want to see trump elected after the chaos of the prior four years, sabatini said she has read things that worry her about harris, about immigration policy and about being tough on her staff. probably another right in this november but the 2016 result, it still stinks. >> i'm trying to keep an open

mind about harris if the rap on her, as i read is correct bella cynwyd is in montgomery county and it was very republican when i was growing up. and as democrat now, carol carty is an attorney, a registered republican. she's angry that trump constantly attacks courts and judges and election results. >> i'm now turning on 80s songs to go back to the 80s in my lifetime, the republican party has changed with donald trump clinton, 2016, biden, 2020, a never trumper. she thought. >> but inflation and immigration soured hur on biden and then she watched the june debate when biden was on the ticket, i was going to vote for trump but now it's a harder call. >> just because i am not a fan of donald trump nor now of senator vance, not a cat lady. >> i was a childless dog lady because i didn't i didn't meet the right person to tell us over 40-years-old so i could very well be one of those childless women and i found th
