visit a team of columbia veterans who are competing the invictus game. and then tomorrow and on sunday, they will visit other parts of columbia. so there is a little bit pleasure travels, tourism in this beautiful country. but also a very, very strong focus on hotline harassment and how that touched she's every single person on the globe. kate absolutely, absolutely does. >> definitely. thank you very much for that new hour of cnn news central starts now new this morning beyond the pale, democratic veterans in congress now calling out jd vance's attacks on tim walz's military records slamming the senator and his scathing new letter that has just been released, plus the secret service is boosting safety measures for donald trump after the assassination attempt. >> more agents, bulletproof glass, some of the agency's new tactics. after bipartisan

criticism of security lapses. plus, she says it's been a life filled with burgers and the lessons. now, after 54 years here is a whataburger worker is ready to finally retire. i'm sara sidner with kate baldwin jon out today. this is cnn new central breaking this morning bring democratic members of congress, stepping up and standing up for tim walz members, all who served in the military, calling out j.d. >> vance for his attacks on tim walz military record 19 veterans in both the senate and the house, signing on to this message, it's a letter defending walz saying that vance's attacks are quote, purely politically driven and beyond the pale, the letter comes after vance, a marine veteran himself, accused tim walz of misrepresenting his service in the army national guard, which he served for 24

years. this week, here's how tim walz responded to vance's attacks i firmly believe you should never denigrate another person's service record anyone brave enough to put on that uniform for our great country, including my opponent. i just have a few simple words. thank you for your service and sacrifice cnn's lauren fox has much more on this, lauren, what more are you learning about this letter? >> what they're intending to do, what all about it? >> yeah this letter is coming from nearly 20 democrats across the house and the united states senate in which they are basically calling on j.d. vance to stop attacking tim walz's military record. here's what they write in the letter saying, quote in the military, we all learned to respect and defend our fellow service members while we might disagree with their policy proposals, we would never question their motives. we would never say that person doesn't love america falsely maligning a fellow veteran service for

personal gain is quote, beyond the pale. now this letter you're comes at a time when democrats are on recess, so they are not here in washington to defend him. walz in the hallways as reporters would be asking them about this. and this is obviously coming at a critical point in this campaign was just a few months until the election. it also comes as many of these members remember that tim walz was the top democrat on the house, veterans affairs committee in his last term in congress. and this is a post that he had an a lot of democrats that i talked to right after he was selected were excited about the fact that he could talk about what he had done on that committee, that he could talk about his service. they really do feel like this is an attribute for him and not something that should be a detractor as j.d. vance has tried to attack him on the campaign trail. so it's really this critical moment. it also just comes as democrats are just trying to defend someone that they think has done not just in his own service, but once he was serving on this top spot in

this committee, done a lot for veterans across the country let's see its impact as it is now just coming out, lauren, thank you so much, sir. >> all right. if you thought donald trump would be taking the advice from republican allies to try to tamp down on those personal attacks i think again i think i'm entitled to personal attacks. i don't have a lot of respect for i don't have a lot of respect for her intelligence to whether the personal attacks or good or bad. i mean, she's certainly attacks me personally she actually called me weird. he is weird. it was just a sound bite. and she called jd and i weird. she's weird in her policy some of the moments that veered way off message yesterday so far that atlanta into the territory of hillary clinton's 2016 emails again and something donald trump likes to call bird cemeteries caused by wind farms. >> but this morning it's trump's finances, it's catching a lot of attention from his crypto coin to the

money he's making off selling bibles. cnn's steve contorno has the details for us what have you learned as you looked through these financial disclosures that everyone has to do sir, this is our first glimpse into trump's finances and at least a year and what it shows is that trump makes quite a bit of money selling his image and capitalizing on his fame. >> now these are 250 pages worth of insights into his financial situation covering everything from his real estate business to his there's investments, the incomes for both him and former first lady melania trump as well as his debts. let me go through some of what we've found after we went through this massive document. one is that a lot of his wealth is tied up in the shares he owns in the company that owns truth, social about 2.7 billion dollars worth. he also made it more than $500 million from his various golf clubs and resorts. these disclosures also included the liabilities and excess of $50

million in the judgments against him in new york. and from the e. jean carroll defamation lawsuit there's also quite a bit of money he makes from selling his image. as i said, 7.2 million from these nfts trading cards featuring images of trump $300,000 from the greenwood bibles, which he now sells for $60 on his website. he also has one to $5 million it's worth of cryptocurrency and i'm going to get into more on that in a second and as well, he has a six-figure investment in gold bars. now the crypto cryptocurrency investments stood out to me because i've been covering trump's recent interest in bitcoin. he recently spoke at a bitcoin conference where he embraced the industry just at this inflection point where now not only is he investing in cryptocurrency, but he's also been getting a lot of money from crypto donors and he is promising to be a pro-crypto president take a listen to what he told this audience earlier this year if crypto is going to

define the future, i want to be mined minted, and made in the usa. it's going to be, it's not going to be made anywhere else and a bitcoin is going to the moon and as we say, it's going to the moon, i want america to be the nation that leads the way. we will have regulations. but from now on the rules will be written by people who love your industry, not hate your industry those statements come as trump's family businesses also plotting to get involved in this emerging industry. >> eric trump recently writing on x quote, i have truly fallen in love with crypto sara. >> all right, steve contorno. thank you. kate hi, joining us right now is democratic senator from delaware, chris coons, senator. >> thanks so much for coming in. i want to talk about the reporting coming out just this morning from lauren fox, this letter from democrats in congress who've served in the military, coming to the defense of tim walz and his military

career fair j.d. vance has continued with his attacks on walz despite the fact checking, just yesterday, he continued his attack on tim walz. listen to this this is not about disparaging anybody services including tim walz. this is about disparaging the dishonesty and asking kamala harris why are you showing such poor judgment by standing by a guy who insulted our veterans and lied about his service this letter now from democratic veterans does this put the issue you think to rest or is there a chance this is just going to fuel this as a political issue, especially as there are no republicans on this letter well kate i think this is an important part of governor walz, his service, his background, his character, that he spent 24 years in the national guard. and i'm glad that there are members of congress coming to his defense and making it clear that j.d. vance should be respecting

master sergeant walz's service than the national guard. just as governor walz has been respectful of jd vance's service in the marines we've had in the biden family during the biden-harris administration, a president whose son served in the delaware national guard and a president who respected and supported military families. i think it's important that moving forward this be a constructive, respectful, and positive debate about the issues that matter to americans. and frankly, if we look back at what happened in the 2004 campaign, when a highly decorated veteran in john kerry didn't respond promptly to frankly, unfounded attacks about his service in vietnam. it ended up being a defining issue in the campaign. so i'm glad that there's prompt action being taken here to put on the table, not just governor walz, his service in the national guard, but his service on the veterans affairs committee in the house and his record which would continue president biden's record of

fighting hard for veterans this is also a big day for kamala harris and she's going to begin rolling out his economic agenda. >> some details have been coming out about what she will be putting out as planned proposals when she gives a speech in north carolina poll numbers in key battleground states for kamala harris, improving signs that her is there signs that are campaign has momentum. but donald trump's so far remains leading when it comes to the economy if she does not start leading in polling on the economy can she win well, the economy really matters. >> hearing people recognizing and respecting that although our economy is very strong, voters aren't feeling it yet she's going to be putting on the table in north carolina concrete and specific proposals based on things that we've done in congress as democrats. just last month a bipartisan bill was passed by the house. and blocked by senate republicans that would have increased the child tax credit.

she's going to be talking today about ways that prescription drug prices our coming down, that incentives will be offered for first-time homebuyers. that there will be an effort to combat price gouging at grocery stores. there's a whole series of specific and concrete middle-class tax benefits and federal actions that would address the everyday economic concerns of 100 million working americans you donald trump's been perfectly clear he's reelected, he's going to extend and make permanent the tax cuts that he forced through on a party-line vote in 2017 donald trump's been clear, he wants to further cut taxes for the most profitable and biggest corporations and for the richest americans. there will be a stark contrast and the economic policies of these two candidates, and that really begins today with vice president harris is important speech in north carolina you hit on something that is key, which is how voters feel about

it. that is the reality. because when the voters, there, that's their personal economy that matters when it comes to their vote. who wins that argument? that is what is key, as you said though today is an important one because that now that debate really begins in in earnest donald trump was asked just yesterday about the feedback that he has been getting to lay off the personal attacks that he's been pushing at kamala harris. i want to play for you his reaction to that helps himself i think i'm entitled to personal attacks. >> i don't have a lot of respect thanks for i don't have a lot of respect for her intelligence and whether the personal attacks or good or bad. i mean, she's certainly attacks me personally. she actually called me weird. he is weird it was just a sound bite and she called jd and i weird. she's weird in her policy what do you think of that look sometimes when i travel around the country campaigning it's

hard to believe that this is the kind of thing that the average american might want from their president watching some of his press conference the other night donald trump is just rambling unfocused, and keeps bringing up bizarre subjects. as you may remember, many times in the last few months, he's gone on at great length about whether he'd rather die by electrocution are being eaten by a shark. he was talking this week about how wind farms cause a bird cemeteries. it's almost hard to make this stuff. you couldn't make this up i think that there are many ways that this campaign can unfold what i'm positive about is that the harris-walz campaign has electrified democrats and undecided voters across the country. we're seeing record crowds where we're seeing record numbers of folks volunteer at our grassroots campaign pain offices, a record number of first-time small dollar donors to the campaign. there is genuine momentum and excitement about kamala harris

and donald trump just can't help himself. he keeps dragging it back into an eighth grade levels series of personal attacks today, you're going to get concrete economic proposals from kamala harris about the situation faced by millions of americans whether it's affording rent, buying their first home, becoming new parents dealing with prescription drug prices, the kinds of things americans really care about rather than slinging different words back-and-forth between candidates let's see if we can't have an exciting positive, mature, purposeful campaign. this fall i mean, you're killing on the alliteration today. >> i'm actually i just have to say because i was going to say, first of all, i not political, but the personal and the policy is what is definitely going to define his campaign. it was very strange. do you hit on alliteration just as i was about to as well. we're gonna end it on that senator. thank you so much sara, personal political say that three time i was like, i really was i was like i'm gonna do a p.sit a

little alliteration that was crazy. >> okay? >> all right. the secret service changing their protection protocols for donald trump, expect to see more agents and bulletproof last, even outside rallies. and five people, including doctors and a woman dub the ketamine queen. now charts and the overdose death of friends star matthew to perry. you details on that case is just ahead and the new school year starting with new big budget cuts for many districts why? it's funding being cut we'll have that as well cnn is live from chicago as democrats unite to offer their support to a new nominee and her running mate fellow cnn for complete coverage, the democratic national convention monday at seven on cnn, and streaming on back the biggest challenge, uncertainty, hidden surcharges. who knows what to expect turned shipping to your

hotel win 100 day hotel challenged special series continues tuesday night at 8:00 on hgtv the secret service is increasing security for donald trump after the assassination attempt last month at his rally in pennsylvania, that includes more agents and bulletproof glass surrounding the former president at campaign events, cnn, chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller back with us this morning. >> john, when you look at these changes, i mean, this is something that a president would get, correct? >> yes. and it's not everything a president would get, but it is way more than a former president gets in terms of the package it is way more than the average can innovate even for president gets. and obviously the increase comes from the fact that a breaking news donald trump is controversial. he's a lightning rod and we're in probably one of the most brittle political seasons in memory and be somebody shot at him, struck

him with a bullet or some part of a bullet and that is a signal that may resonate with other lone wolves and see don't forget, there's still this a iranian revenge plot for the death of soleimani their chief of the revolutionary guard corps that trump ordered the drone strike on while he was president so that's enough to really increase the security around him just on the face of it. yeah. >> i mean, all the threats are out there and then what happened really push this forward. and also the mistakes made. and admitted to by the secret service, as well. i do want to ask you about outside campaign events because those tend to be zooming from a law enforcement is perspective and you've talked about this before. much more difficult to try and secure someone a candidate donald trump loves his outside rallies and the

secret service doesn't. >> but that's their problem, meaning the candidate is going to go where the candidate is going to go? and they have to work towards just making that happen so the addition of these glass partitions, the bulletproof glass this really narrows the field of fire for an incident like pennsylvania. now, there were mistakes in pennsylvania roofs that should have been covered, but every venue is going to be different so this, this gives them a real advantage on the one hand, on the other hand, it's a logistical problem because these things are very thick and have the structures that hold them and they have to be moved around. the secret service doesn't have airplanes, right? the air force runs air force one that means they have to rely on the air force for c 17s to move these structures around and that's a lot of logistics between them in the military. so what they're doing, and this applies to vice president harris as well this actually comes with the vice president's package with the

president's package but by strategically placing them around the country regionally so that wherever they campaign event is, maybe they can move them by truck and have this all done ahead of time. is some of the logistics we never we never hear about there's four to 500 people in ppd. the president's protection detail. a lot of those people because the president is at the white house, is not out campaigning. can be borrowed to do the advances for vice president harris for a donald trump on the campaign trail. so they're using every resource they have and they're borrowing some where they can be reapplied. >> john miller. thank you so much for talking us through all those details. that sounds like a logistical nightmare in some ways. >> and one where there's no choice, right? >> exactly. all right. thank you. all right. ahead. new details it's about the multiple arrests in connection with actor matthew perry's overdose deaths to doctors, perry's assistant and a woman

assistant. three of the five charged have already pleaded guilty as part of as part of plea deals cnn's stephanie elam joins us now, if it's 70, there's so much more to this. what does the evidence that prosecutors say that they have that led them to uncovering all of this and led to the charges yeah. >> they've said they've taken almost a year. right. because matthew perry died at the end of october, kate and they've looking at this underground ring, they said that these people who really put matthew perry's weakness and this drug addiction that he's been battling for years. they put that on the backburner for their own financial gain. because. what we're looking at, the new things that happened as of yesterday is that law enforcement did arrest two people in particular, one of them is dr. salvador plasencia and they are alleging here that this doctor actually conspired with another doctor, dr. mark chavez, to supply matthew perry with ketamine but. this is also because mark chavez operated the ketamine clinic. we know

that he's one of the people that has already entered that guilty plea. now, dr. salvador plasencia he is forced yesterday to surrender his dea license, so he won't be able to prescribe any of these restricted medicines. and his trial is set for october 8. however, while this is looking like they have issues when they take a look at the text messages, they have a text message from him to dr. chavez, which in which he said that he wanted to be the sole provider of ketamine for perry and asking how much this moron would be willing to pay in text messages when you take a listen to his attorney, he's says it is not that clear. take a listen all the u.s attorney may disagree with dr. plasencia. >> medical judgment. there was nothing criminal at the time and more importantly, the ketamine that was involved in mr. perry's passing was not related to mr. dr. plasencia that was provided by another party? we some time later and

according to the u.s. >> attorney, that is true that the actual dosage that killed matthew perry came from the woman who was known as the ketamine queen. that would be just been saga. she was also arrested yesterday. she was ordered to remain in detention. however, because they argue that she was a significant risk to flee, what we also know about this is that she was selling other drugs according to the u.s. attorney, out of her operation in the san fernando valley here in los angeles. >> the other person that we need to talk about though, is the personal live in assistant to matthew perry because he also has already entered a guilty plea, but they're saying that he injected kennetha mahsa. >> he was he was injecting perry with this ketamine even including on the day that matthew perry died. so that's just taking a look at a broad range of how these people all go together. another person who was getting the drugs, they allege from the ketamine queen, but just saying that this was

really a widespread organization where they were working to basically take advantage of matthew perry know, three people already pleaded guilty, a lot more to come it's good to see you. >> thank you so much, stephanie now, come on harris at the top of the democratic ticket how has that changed the choice for women voters the new numbers this morning and what that's a career woman finally hangs up or apron after more than 50 years at what a burger what i'm what i'm mess is getting diminishment with customer when

to point out this is average across the same pollsters, look at biden versus trump, women and men. what we see as the gender gap is working king and donald trump's advantage yields a nine point advantage among men against joe biden. and joe biden only how to full four point advantage among women, but take a look now, look at how the race has changed instead of having a four-point advantage among women as binded look at harris as advantage. it leaps up to 11 points. in fact, men haven't changed their voting patterns at all. he's the national polls, a nine point advantage for donald trump versus joe biden, a nine point advantage against kamala harris. what has occurred is women voters are flocking to the democratic ticket. look at that, look at that four points versus 11 points. that is the reason that kamala harris has turned this rescue round. >> you said this is nationally raised. his national what about in swing states? >> what's going on in the swing state? so let's take a look at those great lake battleground states, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. this is among registered voters. what do we see here? it's a very similar picture, biden versus trump women. biden has a little bit a

larger advantage in those great lake battleground states scoring those new york times siena college poll at ten points. but again, that surge among women were seeing the same thing in those battleground states as we saw nationally, kamala harris up 17 points among women, men, very little change down trump doing a little bit worse, but still a very clear advantage. but the same story in the swing states as we see nationally, the gender gap was working for donald trump against joe biden. and now it's working against him. against kamala harris. >> is this the same? smaller or bigger that can you put it in context? i mean, is it the same that we normally see? yeah. >> all right. so let's take a look. let's go through time, particularly here. all right, this is the democrat versus the republican for president. again, these are, these kid key great lake battleground states, michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin that's it 20202016 or final, these are the exit polls in 2024 is now look at the women margin, look at what's going on here. look how much better kamala harris is doing among women voters. there was 11 points. hillary clinton back in 2016, 13 points in

2020. look at this margin 17 points interestingly, the gender gap becoming one hi there. over time, it's much wider this year than what we're normally expecting because in fact, donald trump is winning men voters by 15 points. that's better than he did in 2020. and he seemed same states and it's even better than he did in 2016 alone, just slightly better. but the bottom line here is kamala harris is winning this race right now, at least in these key battlegrounds states, because of what she's doing, women voters, women voters are energized and is the reason that kamala harris turned a deficit that joe biden had in will lead counsel usually quick were talking we do not know because there's a lot that goes into it that this is because she's a woman. >> if it's just their support for her, correct? >> we don't know. we don't necessarily know the reason we just know she is doing better. women voters significantly better than joe biden was, and better than either joe biden or hillary clinton did back in 2016, hasnain and great stuff, fair. >> thank you so much. thank you. sara all right. >> for more on this. i'm joined by lance trover, former

spokesperson for republican governor doug burgum's 2024 presidential campaign. and democratic strategist and consultant simon rosenberg. thank you, gentlemen for being here as of july 2024, prices are 20% higher than they were in february of 2020, which is people say, look, it's crushing their personal economies. so simon, what is kamala harris need to do today in her first big policy speech? which, which is on the economy yeah. >> i mean, i think she has to remind folks how much better the economy is today than it was when we came into office and to lay out her agenda for how she wants to continue to create growth. and opportunity for america. the american people are basic phrase about the economy is we want people just to get by, but to get ahead, which i think is a very powerful way of talking about the economy. and today she's spending a lot of time talking about how she wants to continue to lower costs and makes life more affordable for working people. it's very sensible, common sense agenda that's just going to be laying out today. i

think the news thing that is going to be a little bit different from what biden has been doing is a big emphasis on housing and lowering housing costs by building more housing in america to make housing more affordable across the country. i think that's going to be a really key part of her discussion today. >> langston, she needs to differentiate herself in your opinion, from from biden i think the first thing we need to remember is how we got here. >> you talked about it just now, prices are up over 20%. she and joe biden are the reason is here today is the anniversary of the signing of the inflation reduction act, which as we all know no dumped a ton of money into the economy and lit inflation on fire. that's first and foremost, this is like the arsonist calling the fire department today and look a couple of her proposals, no taxes on tips in expanding the child tax credit are things that the trump campaign has already called for. but what's most disconcerting to me about this or these soviet style price controls that she's going to call for our hands like, hey, the soviets called, they want

their price controls back i mean, that controls on drone on food, on food she's going to call for government intervention, price controls on food that's something we tried in the 70s. >> it didn't work. i mean, the soviets called, they want their economic policies back. i find that very disconcerting and i think it's something voters should pay attention to let's talk about what trump has been saying. >> he had a press conference yesterday. it began pretty tame talking about the economy staying on strip. he talked about the high price of things. again, everything from housing to food but he then spent a lot of time on personal attacks. here's some of that i think i'm entitled to personal attacks. >> i don't have a lot of respect for virtually 100% of the net job creation in the last year has gotten too migrant ship actually beyond a number of 100% it's a much higher number than that. commonly is reportedly proposing communist price control and maduro plan like something straight out of venezuela. checks. he called me weird. he is weird. she's weird in her policy 100% of jobs has

not gone just to migrants, alright. this seems to be a strategy to show that he's doing press conferences, to show that kamala harris is not doing press conference it says axios put it very succinctly this way that the trump campaign is hoping his press conferences will go. >> harris into more unscripted appearances and interviews. where they believe that vice, the vice president will stumble. so far though harris isn't taking the bait. all right? so are these pressers doing what he intends for them to do? lance two and two and know what two press conferences he's done in the last week, how many is she done? >> zero. they won't even commit to doing one by the end of august. and i think that's a travesty for the voters in this country, but she is not stepping been out and taking questions from reporters, unscripted, not in front of a teleprompter, not with a scheduled list of reporters to call on. i mean, we're at sunday's out an election and we have a presidential candidate who isn't willing to sit step in front of the media and answer questions what does

that tell you in terms of what they're doing now, look, i get it. i get to play in what they're trying to do, but and one point this honeymoon is going to come to an end post-labor day voters are going to start keying in. and i think they're really going to start looking at these candidates closely, their economic policies and where they stand. so i'm not sure the strategy can play out post-labor day for sure lands prints out to and assignment. but when you watched these press conferences and the way that they go, do they help trump or is it backfiring no. >> i mean, donald trump's performance in the last few weeks have been some of the most disastrous events that we've seen in modern american political history. i mean, he's dropped six points in the polls in the last few weeks, kamala harris now has a lead in all the battleground states we are, the election has changed and i think it's an changed in part because the biden struggles now not being in the news every day we've gotten to see a lot more about donald trump. and it's been scary stuff. i mean, some of the stuff he said yesterday reminded us of how

fundamentally unfit and unwell he is and so i do think this has been a really rough patch for the trump campaign i think the j.d vance pick was also something that's dragging them down. and somehow they've got to change the fundamental dynamic of this race they're bringing a whole new team to try to shake things up. now, we've learned yesterday and they need to do that because right now we're winning and they're losing. and if they don't somehow fundamentally change the trajectory of this election, they're going to lose the election i got to ask you about this investigation that was done here at cnn showing the secretly recorded video of one of the architects of project 2025. he's also a former cabinet member for the trump administration and the director of the rnc team that wrote the parties official platform. trump says he doesn't know anything about project 2025. he said that publicly several times, but here is what one of the architects of project 2025 set about it standing i expect to hear ten more times from the

rally. the president, you know, distancing himself from looking at project 2025 and, you know, worried about that and so i see what he's doing is just very, very conscious distancing himself from a brand. he's very supportive of what we do know that we haven't manner of things that we do. >> that's even unrelated to project 2025 this is all about politics. >> he says at one point simon, i mean, how does trump keeps saying he doesn't know anything about this? >> i mean, his agenda is project 2025. there is no he can try all day to distance himself from it, but what he's laid out in time, do you agree with is the same agenda simon, you made this you know, quip that it is about 20:25 and his agenda as lance, do you agree? >> look, the president says he doesn't know anything about 20-25 and take him at his word.

the media, let's kamala harris walked back every single one of her positions every day. so i think we should take the president is word that he doesn't know anything about it all right. >> simon rosenberg and lance trover. thank you both so much for talking through this with me appreciate it. kate american gymnast jordan chiles, calling the decision to strip her of her bronze medal unjust, and also ahead how the appeal process was impacted by a wrong email address. >> but first this week's cnn hero has been whelan in violinist and conductor ron davis alvarez. when alvarez moved to sweden in 2015, he saw crowds of refugees arriving to the country and he wanted to help. he created his dream orchestra. now that orchestra has grown to nearly 300 refugees, immigrants, and native swedes of all ages why dreamer case raise up? >> for anyone who wants to learn any instruments especially families who are arriving to sweden ams as an

>> the world's news network. >> this morning, us officials say russia is moving troops from fighting inside ukraine to combat the ukrainian strikes inside its own country. several thousand troops appear to have been diverted to the kursk region where ukraine has captured miles of russian territory, seen as nick paton walsh's take. now it takes us inside russia to show us what you bringing troops are facing as they push ahead this is where russia but it's startling to see you there, steady flow of military vehicles that probably an ambulance and homage just passing through the russian border point here. >> that is the border posts that clearly got heavily hit when ukraine moved in hard over a week ago, russia's borders here. company politically undefended. it's also remarkable to freedom with which ukrainian military are moving around here. they simply aren't afraid of the drones that have hampered their every move. for the past months now

says. the border service the fsb, the russian security services of russia, as bullet hole above the rules and bullet holes in the rules themselves now this is what so startling about this offensive with a volume of western supplied armor that we're seeing parsing back-and-forth their passage through here into russia unimpeded in tie that rochelle from canada. >> i should note we'll get feminine election. will you before do? if you're not in nato we call and you've got a real sense of euphoria correa but ultimately to the the enduring question is what is all this for? >> what is the end game? yes, it's a huge embarrassment for vladimir putin but as sending

some of their best equipment deep into russia. and i'm sure in the back of the minds of these troops is the question of what ultimately are we going to achieve? and we still don't know the answer to that. >> thank you so much for nick paton walsh for that great reporting as always, and joining us now to talk about this is retired brigadier general steve anderson. it's great to see you. thank you for coming in this morning it was i think nick's reporting there was so insightful just seeing and speaking with ukrainian troops in this in what has played out in the last week. plus, what do you make of this well, as a great report from nick and what you're seeing is a significant change in momentum and that's so important in warfare which started as a raid is now turned into a major penetration and you see the ukrainians are rushing to reinforce that success. >> that's what we always do and militaries we tried to exploit success of they've established the buffer zone up there and they're taken out a lot of missile firing capability artillery. i mean,

that region was responsible for about 2000 attacks over the last couple of months against the ukrainians. so i mean, the other thing that he didn't talk about was the deep attacks that they conducted on the glide bombs sites. one of them was near moscow, 600 miles away. so the ukrainians are really taking the hurt to the russian people in the really putting the pressure on vladimir putin bully for them what does ukraine do now is nick kind of posed on the minds of these soldiers must be what is the end game what were, what happens now do what do you, what do you think is it, is it a question of do they hold ground or keep pushing forward or what do you think the question is that has to be contemplated here? >> the question is, what is the center of gravity? what needs to change? the center of gravity for this fight is vladimir putin he is the reason that this war started and that's why it continues and until he is either removed from

office or he changes his mind then he will continue to conduct this fight so that the ukrainians need to continue to apply pressure. i mean, this has been a major embarrassment to him. they've had 120,000 russian soil civilians that have been displaced. >> so they need to keep up the pressure. i mean, how long they will stay up there. it remains to be seen. >> there's tremendous risks in establishing a salient like this, where you're exposed and all your flanks. >> so they got to be really careful, that they're not both there too far and they get in trapped or outrun their logistics or whatever. but this continues to be a major black guy and they're putting pressure on vladimir putin, the center of gravity exactly where they need to apply that pressure right? >> the one question being, what does ukraine do now, but also, as you're talking about the center of gravity on volodor is vladimir putin. what does vladimir putin do now? i mean, there some talk of, and we heard it from john kirby speaking to john berman yesterday of diverting resources from certain places

in ukraine to kind of bolster and the kursk region. but it's now as curry point out, it's not like the fighting has stopped within ukraine exactly. i mean, he's going to have to divert some troops over there to stop that. i mean, we've already seen some video evidence in some some photo evidence that the russians are establishing trenches in the northern area of that salient. so does that mean that there conceding some ground to the ukrainians here. i don't i mean, i'd be shocked if that were the case, but i mean, the aura of his invincibility has been shattered and he needs to take actions immediately to try to restore that. but the ukrainians aren't playing over arm, playing into that game. >> there continue to apply pressure to vladimir putin. it's going to be a very, very different going for him to retain power and satisfy the russian people while there's been a major penetration of his country. the first one since world war ii that he is allowed to happen on his watch?

>> yeah, it is a fascinating moment that we are watching and really literally watching play out in real time. it's great to see you. thank you so much. the next hour of cnn new central starts now tapscott for 100 million americans, help with housing costs and lower grocery costs in just hours. >> kamala harris expected to touch on these things when she laid he's out. her economic agenda, new details on her plan ahead. donald trump says he is entitled to launch personal insults against harris, but kenny and sold his way it back to the white house will take a look at the numbers plus so long, 6% realtor commissions a major shake-up and how realtors get paid, how will this change? because the way we buy and sell homes, i'm sara sidner with kate baldwin, jon out today. this is cnn new central
