, but his deliberate inaction, and escalation during those really important moments when people needed. i think the idea not only was he inactive, but he was actively calling senators, trying to get them to continue to reverse the fair election while they were escaping for their lives. i mean, he's trying to get them to reverse their vote, and they're saying, mr. president, we're trying to get out of the building, people are trying to kill us. so many important moments today that showed not only that trump was inactive, but he was escalating in the moment and he was doubling down. >> barbara, weigh in. many republican members of congress say they aren't watching these hearings so they didn't hear many of those things. some say they would support donald trump if he runs for president again in 2024. i have to ask you, how do these hearings change the minds of any republican members of congress or any republican voters out there? >> i think what's been so effective is it brought you back to january 6th and it showed what everyone said on that day. and so it's showing, these are all republ

inaction figure, that's how witnesses of the january 6th select committee final scheduled hearing areected to paint the former president. for 187 minutes with the u.s. capitol under siege. also tonight, deadly heat across the globe and in america 100 million people under heat alerts in more than two dozen states. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." ♪ ♪ ♪ >>> tonight, president biden's covid diagnosis and what comes next. his top covid official the president himself sent out a brief video message about how he's doing, and let's go to jeff zeleny joining us from the white house. how is the president feeling tonight. >> wolf, officials tell me tonight that president biden is feeling quite well. he's been working remotely, if you will from the residence of the white house throughout the day making telephone calls holding meetings virtually and this comes, thof course, as the first time he's tested positive for covid-19 and he's in the first year and a half of his presidency trying to dodge this, and today

representatives this afternoon released a damning, nearly 80-page investigative report detailing the inactionds of officers on the scene of the mass shooting at uvalde elementary school, where a gunman killed 19 students and 2 teachers. the report cites "systemic failures" creating chaos that lasted more than an hour, while nearly 400 officers on the scene... simply waited. this timelapse video from an abc afate shows numerous officers crouched, waiting with long rifles drawn, to approach the gunman for nearly 80 minutes. to date, only one officer from the scene that day has been placed on leave. president biden is disputing a saudi account of his meeting this week with saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman. returning to the white house just after midnight from his trip to the middle east, the president was asked about a top saudi diplomat who denied ever hearing biden confront mbs about his role in the murder of jamal khashoggi. here's president biden speaking to reporters ealier. reporter: the saudi foreign minister says he didn't hear you accuse the crown prince of khashoggi's murder. is

the committee focusing tonight on the president's inaction.of what the doj looks at >> i think it will be quite an important part and the context you have to view it in is the context of all the other evidence we've heard of all the other things that trump personally was engaged in, in order to overturn the election from what i hear, it sounds like what we're going to be learning tonight is a lot of specific details of trump's at best unconcern and disregard for the harm that was unfolding as he did absolutely nothing, sitting apparently in a dining room watching television. >> what do you say to people who are just growing impatient with the justice department >> well, i think you have to -- it's the same thing that garland said yesterday in the same press conference you referenced. the department has to do its work in a professional way that is fair to people. that means not trying their evidence in the press, not making public statements about ongoing investigations they have to do it in privacy. and when they are ready, they bring the case

a choice -- inaction is a choice, right? so that choice to not act is not necessarily a criminal charge and i keep hearing people say dereliction of duty and that was a specific military term and a military charge which only applies to actual members of the armed services and not ironically to the commander in chief, but nonetheless, inaction is a piece of the overall puzzle that we're getting presented to as a kind of a public grand jury and even more specifically, what i'll be looking for tonight is within that inaction period is the struggle that he's had with trying to go public and tell people to calm down and leave, right? we'll allegedly see outtakes tonight where he can barely get out of his mouth the words that tell people to be peaceful and go home, despite all of his advisors telling him, the cabinet is talking about the 25th amendment. inaction and inability to get the right words out and how many takes it must have taken to do that. it's all a piece of the larger puzzle and that's what doj will be looking at is

then you have the wall street journal, panel spells out trump's right inaction. -- trumps riot inaction. the washington post with the headline trump ignored many pleas to act. he broke his oath, the january 6 panel argues, and he refused to say the election is over on january 7 when his staff was urging him to record a video and he refused to say those words. your reaction to all of that this morning. let's go to robert in arkansas. democratic caller. caller: i've been watching all of the hearings. for people who still stand behind trump, something has to be wrong with them. i hear a lot of people talking about his policies. what policy has he done that has benefited ordinary people? if republicans get back in charge, rick scott told you, the republican party is going after social security and medicare. host: on the hearing, what has stuck out to you so far? what has made the most impact? caller: how the ex-president can stand by and deliberately lied to the american people about the election was stolen and people are stupid enough to believe that. host: danny in farmington, missouri. i

>> yeah, poppy, the inaction is not enough.oes serve as evidence that what he's watching unfold on television, he's sitting there watching it in the dining room or wherever is the culmination of everything he's put into place up to that time, to encourage people to come to d.c. it is going to be wild to having his folks out there perpetuate this false narrative about a stolen election, this is what inevitably is going to happen. there is going to be a riot on the capitol. that's exactly what did occur. and so by not taking any action to stop it, there is the suggestion that he's watching unfold what he wanted to happen to begin with. >> paige pate, we appreciate your legal expertise. thank you. we'll see what we see tonight. >>> moments ago, steve bannon did arrive back at u.s. district court in washington. his defense will begin making its case in this contempt of congress trial this morning, depending on how long that takes the jury could have this case in its hands by the end of the day. >> cnn's katelyn polantz joins us fro

and i think maybe we should stop accusing him of inaction because he did act. it wasn't inaction.nce. it was criminal activity. what he did was encourage the rioters. what he did was spent his time on the phone, not to the pentagon or the department of homeland security or anybody who could help stop the riot, but on the phone to senators, trying to egg them on to continue to further delay the certification of the election. it is -- and stunningly, even when he finally, finally, at the end was going to give a statement, he, you know, can't say the election is over. the election is not over. he acted all right. he acted in furtherance of an attempted coup against our government. and so the next question really is accountability, i think. you know, what is the justice department going to do? it has to be accountability. accountability. the president has to be accountable. >> yeah, no doubt about it. and you are so right, there's no inaction here. this is all action. this is all a plan. it's all a deliberate plan. he's at a presidential debate, and he tells a hate group, a white nati

he talked about thursday's hearing possibly dealing with the three hours of inaction. liz cheney very specifically refers to as 187 minutes of inaction, a little longer than three hours. her argument, and in fact she has been out ahead of some of the democrats on the committee, her argument is that it was more in that inaction. you can see it as inaction, but he actually failed to stop something he knew was happening. a suspect between tuesdays and thursdays hearing, the committees going to try and illustrate that for americans, that wasn't the america not doing something it was the president failing to do something to protect democracy and the sanctity of the electoral count. >> yes she uses the words dereliction of duty. i think that most people when they see donald trump when they hear testimony about donald trump agreeing with the mob -- when he knows they have weapons and he says let's march into the capitol anyway. when he sees them attacking the building and agrees with what they are doing and thinks it's proper to put pressure on and then tweets out against mik

so it wasn't just inaction. it was also a part of a plan to stop the vote. >> yeah, i mean, i think what we're going to see tonight is there's the legal case, and then there's also the political and moral case, and i do anticipate that we'll see a strengthening of that case. the point here is that this is really about the president's intentionality and not just his mind set, but his continued mind set throughout those 187 minutes. so you can't say, oh, it was a single mistake. maybe i said the wrong thing on twitter or i went too far. no, you see the violence. you see police officers and others being beaten to defend american democracy, and those who practice it, and if you're the president of the united states, you think that's a good time to either join them, according to previous testimony, or sit down and watch some tv, it seems. and so that tells us a lot about how he was using the violence politically. that's really what's important here. this is not something that just got out of control. this was essenti

this will go all about the inaction part of that statute. trump was sitting in the white house, sitting in the oval office, in the dining, room watching the violence unfold. as commander in chief, he has an obligation, to step in, to upload -- uphold his 30s, and the fact that he did not do that, that he did not step in, and send a tweet, and did not go to the briefing room, and make some sort of public address, and how these rioters, come out of the capital, reading this, it could pose consequences, if doj starts calling out on that statute. >> i don't know if you are a lawyer, hugo, senator jones definitely, is a lawyer. i am wondering, can we get a reaction to what hugo just said? in terms of what we should be watching out for? during thursday's primetime hearing? and the notion that, inaction, on the part of the president, as part of obstructing a congressional proceeding, is there evidence there, to say, yes. by what he did and did not do, he is in violation of that statute? >> jonathan, i think, it would be a stretch, quite frankly, fo

but today steve bannon found out that inaction would not be excused by a d.c. jury. he was found guilty of contempt of congress for defying a subpoena from the house select committee. >> i will never back off. i support trump and the constitution, and i'm not backing off one inch. if i go to jail, so be it. >> i mean, that actually is a distinct possibility, but what's next? now that we know what inaction looked like from the oval office, what will accountability look like? is it disqualification from running for office again in a future election or maybe a lost election or maybe a win in that election? a prosecution or a pass. >> we've proven different components of a criminal case against donald trump or people around him in every hearing, and i think taken in totality, this represents the greatest effort to overturn the will of the people to conspire against the will of the people and to conspire against american democracy that we've ever had, frankly, since the civil war. so yeah, i think we've proven that. it's up to justice now to make a decision. >> so where d

michael, this is more than inaction arguably.g to all of the evidence, he rejected offers of help. he didn't call law enforcement. talk to me about not only unprecedented this is, but also how extraordinary compared to what the vice president was doing, even though he is not in the chain of command. >> this is something of a kind that we have never seen before in american history. and i hope to god we never see again. this was not just a president just as you are saying, both of you, this isn't a situation where there was a spontaneous uprising on capitol hill and trump was slow to get on the phone to the national guard or didn't do enough to calm them and get them out of the capitol. everything we are learning from this hearing -- this set of hearings suggests this was a president who was at the center of a massive blueprint to take down democracy in order to steal an election which he was not entitled to, could have involved martial law. there are suggestions it may have involved assassinations of a vice president and congressi

this 187 minutes of inaction.ten to whet elaine luria said on cnn this morning. >> it's simple, he was doing nothing to actually stop the riot. we will go through minute by minute during the timeframe, from the time he left the white house and sat in the white house in the dining room. with his advisers, urging him to take action. he's the commander in chief, he's the only person in the constitution whose duty is explicitly laid out to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed. i look at it as a dereliction of duty. he didn't act, he had a duty to act. we >> how will the committee work to fill in the blanks of those 100 and -- while the capitol was under attack? >> so many of us that -- you have a picture of what he was doing that day. how many people were coming to him. when we saw cassidy hutchison talk a couple of weeks ago in front of the committee, she talked about how pat cipollone and mark meadows -- to say we have to get him to do something. mark meadows saying, you know he doesn't want to. and so they

they will say that his action or inaction during this time period points to a dereliction of duty. he was, they say, resisting pleas from aides, close allies, and his family to call off the violent mob. >> tonight, the committee is also going to show some never before seen outtakes of this moment, where trump, the day after the capitol attack, reluctantly condemned what happened. >> i would like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the united states capitol. like all americans i am outraged by the violence, lawlessness, and mayhem. >> we're told one of the only reasons trump actually made that video was aides warned him about the fact that his own cabinet might be preparing to use the 25th amendment to remove him from office. tonight, we will hear from some of his former aides, two of them, matthew pottinger and sarah matthews who quit in the immediate aftermath of january 6th. joining us now is cnn justice correspondent jessica schneider and cnn senior legal analyst and former federal prosecutor elie honig, and david chalian, cnn political director and host of the cnn poli

that visual, right, of his inaction and the violence that we saw unfolding on tv. at the in many ways was sort of the producer of the show, the director of the show, who didn't ever want to yell cut. in so many ways his silence was the green light for those folks to keep going for those three hours. when in fact he did tweet they were looking at his tweets and taking directions from him. the fear, too, right? we all saw this unfold on tv, but to hear the fear from those secret service agents calling their families to see -- josh hawley who, of course, earlier that day seemed to urge the rioters on, he was afraid for his life, running and scurrying through the hallway. it is always shocking to imagine that this was a president not only dereliction of his duty as president, but really just as a human, right, seeing this unfold on tv and not doing anything about it. >> it wasn't just silence. it wasn't just inaction. one of the big themes of this whole hearing has been the 2:24 tweet. i mean, remember, we are talking about three hours of silence, approximately 1:00 p.

we've already seen several of these entities hesitate to invest in american manufacturing due to inaction and political gamesmanship right here in washington. so, mr. president, our ability to rise to this occasion will demonstrate whether the united states is willing to creed to innovation and economic higher ground to the communist chinese party or whether we will stand up to the people's republic of china and reinvest in the manufacturing and innovation prowess that has made america a lone super power for decades. i submit that if we fail to pass this bill immediately, we will set back america's competitiveness for a generation or more. this critical moment requires all of us to put the country above politics. imagine that. put the country above politics. put hardworking american families who are doing the best they can right now above politics, and strengthen our nation's competitiveness. so i urge

white house at the hearings on the seizure of the building by the trump capitol was again accused of inactionary 6 from the united states, alexei veselovsky's report was the last one for this summer. the meeting of the committee to investigate the riots on january 6 was devoted entirely to the actions, but rather to the inaction of the former president trump that day, in fact, each committee meeting was somehow dedicated to trump, but the democrats at the head of the commission, summing up the preliminary results, decided, so to speak to consolidate the past. despite the fact that he was the only person in the world who could call back the crowd sent specifically by the capitol, he could not bring himself to get up from the dinner table and walk a few steps along the corridor of the white house to the press briefing room, where the cameras are anxious and waited in repentance to convey his message, armed and brutal mob brutal, beating and killing employees. bodies brilliant for the capitol and preying on the vice president and various members of congress it was impossible budge 187 minutes, d

the committee will focus on the action and inaction of the former president. we'll dive into this coming up in the next half hour. that's a look at the top stories. it's 5:01. good morning to you. good morning to the skyline. a little bit of sun coming through? what am i looking at? >> this is a live look right now just actually over the santa clara valley. we're still waking up with a thick marine layer. you can see it all the way down into san jose, mountain view. it will pull back as we head into the 8:00 hour leaving us with sunny skies as we wake up this morning. even off into the tri-valley. it pulls back along the richmond/oakland area heading into the afternoon hours around 3:00, 4:00. daytime highs around that point, only to the mid to upper 90s today. 60s across the board from the coast to the bay. we've been stressing this all week long, a lot of meteorologists across the nation are dealing with record breaking heat. back here on the coast, we're blessed with an onshore flow that keeps temperatures around average if not cooler along the coast with 4

there wasn't inaction, there is action.er presidents part, on the sixth, on the, fifth months leading up to, it and even today. >> couldn't agree more, he's the arsonist who lit the flame and watched it burn. that is not inaction, that is criminal action. i think it's critically important for people not to say, the president sat back in the dining room and did nothing 487 minutes. he was presented with multiple opportunities to shut this down, to call this off. kevin mccarthy said he was scared, he pulled jerry kushner out of the shower, they tried to do these videos. trump refused to say anything to try to call off these violent attacks on the capitol. and the outtakes, and that starts and stops of his video presentations show just how determined he was to ensure that violence ensued. >> joyce, when you heard about the former presidents conversations with kevin mccarthy, it almost seemed like he was reveling in what was happening. we heard from adam kinzinger, earlier tonight, saying what he saw was possible criminal activ

a story of inaction in a time of crisis. he thought, for 100, maybe 7 minutes on january 6, this man of unbridled destructive energy could not be moved from the comfort of his dining room. he watched on t v as the attack escalated her, his refusal to act and call off the mob that day, and his refusal to condemn the violence was indefensible. and on january 6, donald trump turned their love of country into a weapon against our capital. and our constitution, my only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote. there is plenty more where that came from last night. as the january 6 committee slammed donald trump at length for refusing to call, a rider storming the u. s. capital last year, a series of white house officials described the over 3 hours. the president watched the insurrection on fox news and did nothing to stop it. while trump was also watching tv last night and not happy about what he saw, he lashed out at the committee, calling it a kangaroo court. the hearings have included a mix of life testimony, pre recorded d

>>> right now on "america this morning" -- 187 minutes of inaction. the january 6th committee releases new video and images from inside the white house. and new testimony revealing how president trump chose not to stop the mob from attacking the capitol. and for the first time we hear the frantic radio calls from vice president mike pence's security detail. >>> plus, breaking overnight, a u.s. congressman and scandidate for governor attacked on stage in new york. a man apparently trying to stab him. what we're learning about the suspect. >>> commuter chaos outside boston. a fire on a subway train high above a river. we hear more from a witness who watched one woman jump. >>> and a murder in paradise. a tennessee man accused of murdering his wife on their honeymoon at a luxury resort in fiji. what police are revealing, and how he allegedly tried to escape. >>> a party turns deadly when a sinkhole opens up beneath the swimming pool. >>> and later the stunning new payday for an nfl quarterback set to make more money than an entire major league baseball t

and that was, that inaction was something congressman kinzinger put his finger on. he was on another network this morning saying that when it comes to the hearings for republicans in general, this doesn't appear to be having a ton of impact. and i thought that was interesting because when you open "the wall street journal" editorial page, the "new york post," it drew a lot of attention that they were unusually harsh in their criticism of the former president in the past few days. the journal wrote, characters revealed in a crisis, mr. pence passed his january 6th trial. mr. trump utterly failed his. how do we assess where the conservative movement is on this? >> well, we'll have to see donald trump's reputation is in flux. when we think about the republican party, it's got kind of two challenges. there are a lot of tensions in an election year. two challenges and one thing going well. for donald trump, the challenge is he has been judged by the leaders of his party. mitch mcconnell in the senate, kevin mccarthy in the house, mike pence, as having failed in a fundame

my colleague ali rogin takes a closer look now at these economic costs of inaction.r plan from democrats in congress to address climate change inow all but dead. last week, west virginia senator joe manchin said he would not support the legislation, citing what he said was the proposal's inflationary impact. but the white house office of management and budget says failing to act on climate change could cost the federal government $2 trillion annually. and a recent study from dartmouth university found the united states alone was responsible for over $1.8 trillion in losses to developing countries between 1990 and 2014. joining me now to discuss the economic impts of climate change in action are mary anne hitt, she's the westirginia based senior director of the advocacy group climate imperative, and dharna noor, climate reporter for "the boston globe." thank you both so much for joining us. mary anne, i'd like to start with you. senator manchin, as we said, has cited the inflationary impacts of this, these proposals, which included tax credits to encourage clean energ

inaction isn't an option.te chaos is an emergency and the president should declare a national emergency and pursue bold climate action. i feel like i have seen this movie before. the president, we're told the president is going to do something and it might even be super bold step a, and then he doesn't do super bold step a, and he ends up looking cautious. i sit here thinking, why is this -- this white house does seem kind of cautious. >> well, i think it reflects him. he is an institutionalist, and he doesn't move, you know, precipitously. that is his nature. i think they do create a problem for themselves, though, the expectations game has been one that has tripped them up throughout. including from the beginning, this notion that with a 50/50 senate and a barely -- and a closely divided house, you were going to be able to do things of rooseveltian magnitude. i think it was problematic because the fact is he's gotten a lot of things done. the obama administration would have loved to have had that gun bill th

the latest hearing on the january 6th attack has detailed former president trump's inaction as those stormed to the capitol. it portrayed a defeated president, ignoring aides, members of congress and his own family to all off the riot and never-before-seen outtakes on january th, he did not want to say the election was over. the committee plans to hold more hearings in september. >>> today governor newsom is expected to announce new action on gun safety. on thursday he signed a package of gun control bills into law. one allows local governments and private citizens to sue gunmakers for harm caused by their products and bans the marketing to minors and third puts restrictions on ghost guns and fourth bans guns on all state-owned property. >>> fire in the hole! a south bay bomb squad detonated a live grenade in campbell. homes on futro drive were briefly evacuated by precaution. the grenade turned up at an estate sale. no one was hurt. that was scary. >>> we made it to friday, tgif. >> we're looking athe the city. >> where is it? >> things are changing as we head into the afternoon. le

january six committee goes up for another hearing such a detailed donald trump's inaction on the day of the riot. when it comes to extremism in america, there is a group being targeted by the conservative movement to rollback your basic rights. it is right out of the authoritarian playbook, and now targeting librarians. this hour, the battle against freedom of choice in my home state of texas. republicans want to punish women who seek abortion care. we will talk to a texas democrat who is doing all she can to fight back. this is american voices. we start with breaking suit news out of uvalde texas. the texas house investigative committee today released a new report on the shooting at robb elementary that left 19 children and two teachers dead. last, our committee officials in uvalde had a press conference on their preliminary report. >> if there's one thing that i can tell you, it is that there were multiple systemic failures. i would invite everybody to read the entire report. you cannot cherry pick one sentence and use it to say everything without reading it all together, and with

a hearing that will focus on publicly holding trump accountable for his inaction during the january 6th attack. tonight, the "washington post" is reporting that the committee plans to show outtake footage frome a video message recordedy trump the day after the attack, illustrating how trump refused to condemn the violence and wanted to call the rioters patriots. even the senate, the place where good ideas go to die, even they are on the verge of taking new action in response to january 6tith. today, a bipartisan group of senators introduced new legislation to fix the electoral counteract, the law that donald trump sought to exploit in his plot to get vice president mike pence to refuse to certify the official result of the 2020 election, all of this, t all of this leads to the inevitable question, what is the justice department doing to hold donald trump accountable? we know from reporting in "the new york times" that theun juste department was astonished and jolted by cassidy hutchinson's testimony, recounting her experience inside the white house on that day, january 6th. we know the

but is it inaction?you're very clear about this when you talk about and attempted coup by president trump. is this a crime of omission, really, or commission? doesn't it lose its power when you say in fact it trump jus look the other way? >> well, from the standpoint of the defense of our government and our constitution, at best he did nothing. from the standpoint of the insurrection and the coup, he continued to exhort, insight, contact, and organize. and we will show both sides of it. but for anyone who believes that -- anyone who is still skeptical that trump was the central actor of all these events, for anyone who thinks these thin would have happened even if donald trump was opposed to them, at the very least, they're going to have to concede he did not act as the commander-in-chief defending the branches of government and the america people in our system of government. we will show both the sins of omission and commission, amy. juan: what is your response to those americans who are skeptical about
