i hope you'll tune in. you'll be inspired, you'll be encouraged. i'm looking forward to seeing you right here. you are fully loaded and completely equipped for the race that's been designed for you. ♪ . i'm margaret brennan. and this week on "face the nation," millions around the

world experience firsthand the effects of a warming planet and most of hollywood goes on strike. another blow to our economy. a brutal and persistent heat wave has nearly a third of americans living under a heat alert. many of them confronting temperatures that are downright dangerous. we'll examine the impact on the u.s. and the rest of the world also suffering the devastating temperatures. mesa, arizona, has been particularly hard hit. mayor john giles will tell us how his city is coping. then, president biden is back from a trip from eastern europe where he rallied america's nato allies to stand together against vladimir putin. >> we will not waiver. we will not waiver. >>, but he's back home and faced with new developments from other foreign adversaries. another provocative missile test in north korea, new tensions with iran and more cyber attacks out of china. we'll sort through those challenges with white house security adviser jake sullivan

and check in with the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee michael mccaul. finally, one of america's marquee industries, entertainment, is at a virtual standstill as actors join writers on strike hitting the picket line together for the first time in 60 years to demand higher pay and increased job security at a time of profound technological and social change. we'll ask media executive barry diller about the ripple effects on the broader economy and we'll hear from tech reporter kara swisher on the upheaval in the entertainment world, tech industry and beyond. it's all just ahead on "face the nation." good morning. and welcome to "face the nation." we have a lot to get to this morning, but we want to begin with some of the extreme weather

we're seeing at home and abroad. there are climate shocks across the country, with flooding in some parts and a record breaking heat wave in others. cbs news correspondent dan ya backus is in los angeles with more. >> reporter: in the southwest, a heat dome is intensifying. >> it's like i'm sitting in a baker and i feel like i'm going to get toasted. >> reporter: phoenix, which has been above 110 degrees for 16 days, hit a record high saturday of 118. las vegas could see 117 today and death valley, one of the hottest places on earth is on track to hit 130. the blistering heat attraractin visitotors. >> i neverer experienced this kd of heat. >> repeporter: thehe extxtreme and dry conditions sparked multiple fires in southern california, burning thousands of acres and prompting evacuation orders. in florida, beachgoers are finding it hard to cool off. water temperatures there have been reaching above 90 degrees.

wildfires in canada are causing smoke to once again blanket portions of the midwest, bringing air quality alerts to minnesota and wisconsin. on the east coast, vermont is in a state of emergency following flooding, flash flooding also took the lives of three people in bucks county, pennsylvania, saturday night. southern california fire crews worked throughout the night and margaret, they remain on high alert as the peak of the southwest heat wave is expected to hit today. >> dana backus from los angeles. for a look at how the rest of the world is coping we turn to foreign correspondent chris livesay who filed this report from rome. >> reporter: the heat wave named after the three-headed dog that guards the underworld in greek mythology. with temperatures set to rise even further, it has its jaws firmly locked on southern europe. people have been collapsing under the weight of the heat

wave serberis. for two days greek officials were forced to close the ancient acropolis during the scorching hours to prevent further injuries. >> we put on 60 spf so we're good. we have our water. no complaints. >> it's really hard. i've got asthma, so this heat is terrible for it. >> reporter: in italy, 16 cities have been placed under a red alert for the extreme heat. some regions in the south may even exceed 120 degrees. surface temperatures are sizzling hotter. in spain thermal inmajs resemble the sun as ground temperatures reach a blistering 140 degrees. forest fires ripped through the spanish island of la palma destroying homes and displacing hundreds. all this while east asia is being inundated. mudslides and torrential rain in south korea have left dozens

dead and climbing death toll. in one incident a freeway tunnel was flooded leaving many drivers trapped. indeed, temperatures have been rising steadily for years. the highest temperature ever recorded in europe was right here in italy, just a hair under 120 degrees. only two years ago. the fear is that this year, and years to come, it will be even worse. margaret. >> chris livesay from rome. we want to go to weather channel meteorologist paul goodlo, from atlanta, georgia. paul, are we near the end of this heat streak? >> not at all. not even in europe. also not in the u.s. this afternoon, temperatures in europe already upper 90s, even some temperatures above 100 degrees, and then in the u.s., southeast, sultry, stormy in the northeast, the southwest is broiling here and the heat building in the pacific northwest, the interior as well

and then there's phoenix, another day at or above 110 degrees. this streak started way back in june, but it really continues in earnest this month. our streak is 16 days. the old record is 18 days. we're going to at least have 21 days or more in terms of the end it's nowhere in sight. the forecast from this month into september, likely above average, well above average in the southwest for at least the rest of this summer. margaret? >> we're seeing reports of some kind of unusual things like in new england today, a warning of a tornado watch. i grew up there. i don't remember that ever happening really before. we're seeing the federal government and noaa say that june was a record heat level with sea temperatures the highest for any month on record. what is the global impact of all these changes? >> it's all about the extra energy we're having and changing

and impacting our weather which is impacting our climate. you mentioned temperatures, the waters around florida, the sea surface waters we're talking not only bath water but hot tub water temperatures here. you don't really get much relief in the water it is so warm and that plays into what happens in our atmosphere. the water is warming so it's adjusting the temperature above that water adding more humidity. for every 1 degree temperature increase, we can see 4% more water vapor. heavier snow events but also heavier rain events. doesn't mean we can't have long persistent droughts. it's the long-term adding energy and heat in our atmosphere which is fueling wilder extremes. we're seeing this with rainfall, not only today in the northeast, but also last week. one in 100 year flood events doesn't mean you only see one in 100 years. it's the probability of any given year 1% seeing that rainfall. we're seeing more of that. more of days seeing 2 inches or

more of rain has steadily increased since 1950. we're seeing that right now the flooding in the northeast. by the way, it's not just here. every region of the country has seen an increase in our heavy rain events, leading to more wilder flood events. we have the concern for severe weather including flash flooding going on, widespread flood alerts going on across the entire region, energy is just that super charged and the two things you talked about this morning, heat and flooding, those are the two biggest weather killers. i know of things like tornados, even hurricanes, they have a lot of headlines but the day-to-day occurrences of heavy rain and the super long heat events we're dealing with across the country and globe are killing a lot more people. margaret? >> paul, wow, that is sobering. thank you very much. and we turn now to john giles, a republican mayor of mesa, arizona, a city 20 miles east of phoenix at the epicenter of this heat wave.

mayor giles, good morning to you. i imagine it's always challenging to manage a city in the middle of a desert, but with this record streak of heat, bhwhat is the impact on people's health and the community? >> good morning, margaret. we absolutely are used to high and in mesa, but this is unusual. due to some of the global conditions that you just talked about earlier, we aren't experiencing the normal rain storms that we usually see this time of july in arizona. so we're used to several days over 110, even days in the high teens, but this is unusual because of the weeks long duration of it. >> so what is the short-term or future impact that you are planning for? you mentioned rain. what does that mean for your water supply?

>> well, water is actually always an issue in the desert, obviously. arizona, believe it or not, really leads the nation when it comes to water conservation. this is the only place in the country where you have to prove that you have a 100 year guaranteed water supply before you can build anything. that is always on our minds and we are continuing to see challenges with the colorado river, thankfully we've a got other water sources that we rely on, so we feel good about our water future, although that's something we're still working very hard on. temperatures, we do have a long-term plan for that as well. we have short-term plans, we have a lot of cooling stations. every year we do a big hydration donation campaign in mesa where we collect several hundred thousand of these so we're prepared for helping those who are outside who don't have the resources to be inside during the hot temperatures and then long term, we have climate action plans. any climate action plan in mesa

has to take into account heat and mitigation to be taken seriously. so, for example, in mesa we launched a campaign earlier this year to plant a million in trees in our community to create more shade and also we're investing in transportation infrastructure. >> are you going to have to slow development? do you know at this point? it terms of more construction because of the strain on infrastructure and resources? and how is the electrical grid faring? >> electricity is good. we have two major electric companies in the phoenix area, arizona public service, tucson power down in tucson, and so far we have not seen any brownouts or any hint that the grid is going to be an issue or that the wholesale of electricity production is a problem. and believe it or not, the irony here is that the phoenix area is really in a economic boom right now. places like mesa we have apple,

google, facebook, meta, all coming and making multibillion dollar investments, bringing a lot of great jobs, so the heat and the weather, frankly, is the reason these companies are coming to mesa and phoenix. hurricanes, blizzards, tornados, mudslides, we just don't do that here. so you do have to tough out some high temperatures in the middle of july, but other than that, the weather is actually a bonus for us. >> when you were here in washington with us last on "face the nation," we talked a bit about your concerns relating to migration and you said at the time that city does get overwhelmed, you're not right on the border, but you deal with the impact. border patrol says that number of apprehensions has gone down in the past few months. are you seeing that? and how is the extreme heat impacting people's movement? >> well, the heat absolutely is an issue for people who are attempting to cross the border,

particularly those that are migrating from central america. that is something we're very concerned about, and the border patrol and humanitarian groups along the border are every day rescuing people in life-threatening situations. so that's very concerning. the last time i talked with you, we were very nervous about the impacts of title 42 and what would happening with that transition. in the past we've been -- every time there's a surge at the border, communities like mesa are heavily impacted because our resources are called upon when the federal government's resources are not enough. we have been so far so good when it comes to the title 42 situation. but again, we remain very concerned, and are looking for a long-term solution there. >> well, mr. mayor, good luck to you faring in this heat. thanks for sharing your insights.

the gears of america's entertainment industry ground to a halt last week when the union that represents actors sag-aftra joined writers on the picket line. a disclosure, some cbs news staff are sag-aftra members, but work under a different contract than the actors and are not affected by this strike. but to understand who is impacted here, we are joined by barry diller, former movie studio head, currently the chairman of iac and expedia. welcome back to "face the nation." >> thank you. >> you know, we were trying to gauge the economic impact of this, and according to the milken institute, it could cause $4 billion in economic damage. what do you think the impact will be, and how long will these strikes last? >> the problem with this -- look all strikes get settled. the issue for this one is when because you have almost a

perfect storm here, which is, you had covid, which sent people home to watch streaming and television, and killed theaters. you've had the results of huge investments in streaming, which have produced all these losses for all these companies who are kind of retrenching. at this moment this kind of perfect storm, it's okay if it gets settled in the next month, but i'll possette what happens if there doesn't and there doesn't seem to be enough trust and energy to get it settled soon. what will happen is, if it doesn't get settled until christmas or so, then next year, there's not going to be many programs for anybody to watch. so you're going to see subscriptions get pulled, which is going to reduce the revenue of all these movie companies,

television companies. the result of which is, there will be no programs and at just the time the strike is settled you want to gear back up, there won't be enough money. this actually will have devastating effects if it is not settled soon. the problem with settlement in this case is, there's no trust between the parties. there are existential issues. obviously, a.i., which i think is over hyped to death in terms of the worries that directors and writers will be replaced rat he than be assisted, which i think will happen, but there's no trust. you have the actors union saying how dare these ten people who run these companies earn all this money. >> right. >> and won't pay us. well, if you look at it on the other side, the top ten actors get paid more than the top ten

executives. i'm not saying anything is right. probably everybody is overpaid at the top end. the one idea i have to say as a good faith measure, the executives and most paid actors should take a 25% pay cut and try and narrow, narrow the difference between those who get highly paid and those that don't. >> well -- >> but i -- >> i want to talk about what you said in terms of -- >> go ahead. >> the only other thing i would do, i would call for a september 1st deadline, you know. there's a strike deadline. i think there should be a settlement deadline. unless it happens by september 1st, the actions -- you know, of course, who cares about hollywood. who cares about it? but the truth is, this is a huge business, both domestically and for world export, and if it -- these conditions --

>> yeah. >> these conditions will potentially produce an absolute collapse of an entire industry. >> well, and also, there are all the people who are paid by the hour who work on these sets who aren't receiving pay when things are shut down. it's not just people in front of the camera here. but on your point about a.i. and existential threats here, fran drescher, head of the union, said we're all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines. that's not the only industry worried about that. if you were running a studio, what restrictions would you put on generative a.i.? >> right now, overly behihyped all revolutions. the downward consequences of a revolution. it can be getting shot and marie antoinette losing her head. the three-year period, not much

is going to happen. post that, there are, of course, all these issues. by the way, these issues are not, i believe, relative to some of the worries about replacement. i do not think you're going to replace a.i. generated actors. i don't think you're going to replace writers. yes, you can adjust all this stuff and spit out something that sounds like shakespeare, but guess what? it is not original shakespeare. and writers will get assisted, not replaced. most of these actual performing crafts, i don't think are in danger of artificial intelligence. >> well, the union wants some say in i guess crafting some guidelines on this. a.i. impacts the publishing industry because you have said that published content should be and somehow compensated for, if it's plugged into a.i. to program it. are you going to seek to sue?

>> yeah. actually, we are. a group of us i think are. >> when? >> it's not that -- the -- the group of us are. it's not that either google or microsoft are the two real leaders of this in terms of certainly google having a monopoly on advertising. they, too, want to find a solution for publishers. the problem is they also say that fair use doctrine of the copyright law allows them to suck up all this stuff. we in the publishing side do not agree with that. it is -- it will be long-term catastrophic if there is not a business model that allows people professionally to produce content. that would be, i think, everybody agree, catastrophe. the only way to get there is either legislation or litigation. i think litigation is not going to end up in some courtroom, but i think litigation will hopefully lead to sensible

legislation here. what has to happen is copyright has to be -- unless you protect copyright, all is lost. >> so are you thinking of what like the a.p. came to an agreement with chatgpt where they have to license a.p.'s archives of news storie to plug them into their model? is that the future for all publishers? >> yes. but that's probably meaningless. a that is not going to solve anything and, of course, i understand a.p. and chatgpt. look, chatgpt, what do they want? they want to continue to suck all this stuff up. they want, of course, to say we're hoping to commercial agreements. on the side of those people who are dependent upon advertising, google, for instance, they say, yes, we'll give you a revenue share, right now the revenue share is zero. so what percent of zero would you like today? that's rationale but not to the

point. only way you to get to the point is protect fair use and copyright. >> are you going to launch litigation soon and who is the group you referenced you're with? >> well, it's not fair for me to specify the group, other than it's the leading -- leading publishers. >> okay. >> and yes, we have to. it's -- it's not antagonistic. it's to stake a firm place in the ground to say that you cannot unjust our material without figuring out a business model for the future. i'll give you one quick reference point. 20 years ago when the internet began, the internet was deemed free. >> right. >> and so everybody all publishers said okay, let's put it up for free, everything is great, take it. okay. >> i've got to wrap you here. >> it took -- it took 15 years to get back pay walls that

protected publishers. >> yeah. >> i don't think that same thing is going to happen. >> barry diller, i love having you. hope to have you back soon. got to go. managers.

(fisher investments) nope. we use diversified strategies to position our clients' portfolios for their long-term goals.

welcome back to "face the nation." we are continuing a theme with podcast host and tech watcher kara swisher, t
