john. jakes is a beautiful example. you learn an awful lot about the revolutionary war about california about the civil war through john jakes. it may not have been historically accurate, but that doesn't mean that you walk away without gaining a feel. for what the author was trying to do which was to give you a sense of the experience. people were having during that particular context and i wonder if you might speak to that because it does seem to me that in the broader context especially multidisciplinary. the different lenses that people bring to it is so enriching. that you don't want to just as history shouldn't be overbearing on the negative side because it may not be it may be inauthentic in certain ways. on the other hand, it can serve a very useful purpose in and of itself as you were saying somebody asked i guess about does the film become part of history? and yes, of course, they can absolutely just your thoughts on that. oh, it's a great question and thank you so very much for asking. you know the way i woul

jake. >> athena jones, thanks so much. johnnia right now. >> remember, it took us a week to count the votes last time in pennsylvania in the presidential race. jake, it's home to you so 40% of the voters are in philadelphia and the counties around it. so can one candidate run it up where the more affluent, college educated republicans live? can they run it up here? this part here in the middle is trump country. does kathy barnette get that vote or does that endorsement for dr. oz do it. the governor's race matters too because the governor appoints the secretary of state that would have 2024 ramifications, jake. >> john king, thanks so much. we're closing in on the end of voting in the great commonwealth of pennsylvania and the first results from the high est profie senate race tonight. we'll see how mehmet oz fares against two challengers, including the late-surging conservative kathy barnette. here is our key race alert. it is too early to call. the very competitive three-way race pitting dr. mehmet oz against dave mccormick a

. >> john: a brief amount of time left, jake sullivan is about to take the podium to preview the president's a topic of conversation. you just came back from kyiv, and you were also in stockholm. sweden has not had a military alliance for 200 years. finland, neutral since 1956. this is a big change and how do you think it's going to play with vladimir putin knowing that rather than 200 mile border, now 1,000 mile border with nato. >> i don't care what putin thinks about it, i think it's a good idea. it strengthens nato and look, there are responsibilities when a country comes into nato. look at these two countries, they have robust military, they punch way above their weight and you are right. 200 years for the 1, 50, 70 for the other, they have been neutral. >> john: reaction has been pretty muted. >> it has been. everything changed on february 24th with the invasion, putin as the mass killer he is. the people of ukraine, and i was there with zelenskyy on saturday, they are fighting for their lives, their freedom, for their country and i believe they will win if they have the weapons and th

since i would note that since the december meeting with our national security advisor, jake sullivan, john family in person on three occasions, including a meeting just last week, and so we have been very closely engaged with the family and obviously meeting with the president is additional and more significant step in that regard, but we have been in close touch with them as well. >> what is the current u.s. government understanding of tice's whereabouts and status? >> i don't have any updates to provide to you from here. what the president will certainly convey, i'm sure a written readout after the meeting is that we will continue to do everything we can to bring him and as we do with any american home, and i would note that of course we have a special presidential envoy for hostage affairs as you know and you have become familiar with because of our -- >> sandra: ok, we have a minute left in show. we have been listening to the white house there, and a little bit of news with the former president bill clinton meeting and having lunch with the current president, and jen psaki saying they

. >> john: let me read what jake sullivan said at the time, because hillary clinton copied and pastedmost direct link yet between donald trump and moscow, the secret hotline may be the key to unlocking the mystery of trump's ties to russia. it certainly seems the trump organization felt it had something to hide given it apparently took steps to conceal the link when it was discovered by journalists. but there was no link, it was made up. >> completely made up. and the researchers told the clinton people, people will mock us, that this is full of holes, and none of this actually he is establishes what we are saying and they were told we need something to create a narrative. this is all in the filings by john durham. but now we know that after that, hillary clinton personally gave approval for this to be released, and she gave effectively a green light gas light the american electorate and what's really astonishing, hillary clinton has been around the world recently call for censorship because of the dangers of disinformation, and that she wants people who spread disinformation to be ba

still is given a lot of these people are still working in government and promoted like jake sullivan, and the fbi. >> john: a lot of layers of the onion. >> it does not smell very good. >> john: sandra, when you look at all of this, may not be criminality other than the lying to the fbi on the part of michael sussmann, but whoa, does it smell like a political dirty trick. >> sandra: and finally getting the coverage it needs and the questions asked like a bloomin' onion. >> john: it is. definition of a political dirty trick. >> sandra: i got you to laugh, and steve moore is laughing. more on that, so will he or will he not. new questions on whether johnny depp will take the stand again in his defamation case against ex-wife amber heard. will it matter after supermodel kate moss testified. >> john: and sounds like the left's push to go green is working. president biden says the pain at the pump is a "incredible transition away from fossil fuels." but at what cost. steve moore on that just ahead. >> nobody can afford it out here. >> pretty absurd. >> we are trying to stay local and do the best we can until s

matters too because the governor appoints the secretary of state that would have 2024 ramifications, jake. >> john king, thanks so much. we're closing in on the end of voting in the great commonwealth of pennsylvania and the first results from the high est profie senate race tonight. we'll see how mehmet oz fares against two challengers, including the late-surging conservative kathy barnette. here is our key race alert. it is too early to call. the very competitive three-way race pitting dr. mehmet oz against dave mccormick and conservative fire brand kathy barnette. on the democratic side it is also too early to call the senate primary featuring lieutenant governor john fetterman, congressman connor lamb and state representative malcolm kenyatta. it is too early to call the republican race for pennsylvania governor. doug mastriano is running against lou barletta, bill mcswain and businessman dave white. but we do have a projection to make in the democratic governor's race. and cnn projects pennsylvania attorney general josh shapiro will be the democratic nominee for pennsylvania governor. shapiro

>> jake, it is definitely major news. the lieutenant governor johncourse is running for the democratic nomination for the u.s. senate seat here. has been in the hospital, as you said, since friday. in lancaster. he was headed to a campaign event. his wife noticed something wrong in his speech. he has been in the hospital since friday. we're just learning just a short time ago his campaign said he is going to undergo a procedure. let's look at the statement. very scant information. it says john fetterman is about to undergo a standard procedure to implant a pacemaker with a defibrillator. it should be a short procedure that will help protect his heart. by regulating his heart rate and rhythm. so that is something that is going to be happening shortly. as voting is still under way here in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, a little less than four hours or so of voting. he's still widely considered to be in the lead in the democratic side of this senate contest here. he's running against two other candidates who have largely been campaigning as this has

john, we are -- this is a familiar cycle. you know, we have a tragedy. 21 kids were murdered. and congress doesn't have the answers, and it's embarrassing. >> jakenly some of the things you mentioned including strengthening background check laws enjoy broad public support. but yet nothing seems to get done. i'm reminded of one of the truest political observations of recent years when someone noted that in the wake of sandy hook when 20 plus elementary school students were killed, if that wasn't the moment that gun control legislation would happen, maybe it never would. that's being tested again now. jake, while we have you, i also want you to weigh in on some of yesterday's primary elections. perhaps the strongest statement of former president trump's hold over the republican party several of his big primary targets have won their races in georgia. some questions about his influence. governor brian kemp ran away with the election, defeating trump-backed david perdue by more than 50 points. kemp gave his victory speech at the college football hall of fame in atlanta. >> abrams will take georgia in a completely different direction. folks, you can

john bozeman, republican senator. we all thought he was potentially vulnerable to a primary challenge from the right. and this jake ton of outside money. mostly from a funder. although i don't think the club is involved here. the chances that bozeman is beginning to be leading vote getter. chances he's held under 50. >> maybe 30%. i still think he ends up 55 or so perhaps. he's had to work for this. their ads show they are taking it seriously. he's run as with sarah huckabee sanders. >> if he gets drawn into a runoff, it might be hard to find a path to victory. >> the generational differences, he's in his early 30s. they both play for university of arkansas football. we have some s.e.c. football players out there too. >> i should give due where it's due. the first reference to s. tuesday was from jessica taylor. jessica, thank you both. we'll see you both a lot going forward. >>> for all your primary updates, stay tuned to our meet the press election special tonight. we're leaving no election unturned. arkansas, texas, until the end. the runoffs and the republican runoffs matter in texas. all of it streaming tonig

john? >> paula, a crucial time to have a discussion like this. thank you so much. >>> another remarkable cnn exclusive. jakeearly three years in russian custody, in a jail, a psych ward and a work camp. before his experience, he says he didn't believe that russia's government was evil, but his views have since changed. >> to have absolutely no value of human life, and -- and that apathy permeates every level of the russian government. and that trickles down from the very top to the lowest level. prison guard, inside of their government, all of their police officers, all of their fsb, everyone who works for that government has absolutely no empathy for other humans. they are completely desensitized to that. that government is really sincerely evil at all levels, from the top to the bottom. and there is absolutely no reason why any americans should travel to russia, for anything, ever. >> now, reed was able to return home to his family thanks to a prisoner exchange, something he says should not be controversial. >> it is controversial in some circles to do a prisoner swap. people not in favor of it say this i

. >> john: and mark elias, infamous figure, everyone is aware of, other staff were jake sullivan, jennifert, didn't have the expertise to judge what we were briefed on. we decided to give it to a reporter so the reporter could run it down more. it's their decision whether to publish it. now, i've been a reporter in this town for a long, long time. and if a campaign gives you something that they are doing, that's one thing, you know. hey, we are going to do this, let's give it to you and you can be first with it, whatever. but for a campaign to say look, we have this information, we don't know if it's true or not, but we are going to give it to you to see if it is true and find out what you can about it. i mean, that's almost suggestive of collusion of a sort. >> yeah, i would say this, john. that's a kind of narrow lens on what was going on here. what we now know is that the clinton campaign through its lawyers and fusion g.p.s., the information firm it hired, were working a bunch of journalists and at the same time they gave the story for example to franklin fore, who wrote the big piece

. >> reporter: john persons, the president and coo of tops markets, told us they plan to reopen the store, but he could not offer a timeline on exactly when. jake brian todd in buffalo, new york, thank you so much. joining us now is the former counsel to the assistant attorney general. ca carrie, thank you for joining us. new york has a red flag war who bars individuals that are assessed by a judge from owning a gun. the accused wrote an essay in school about staging a murder/suicide. he was asked about it by police who had been alerted. but neither the police or the in eachers, nor the faculty, nor his parents let a judge know using the red flag law. it seems obvious they should have. but these laws are underutilized. >> they're underutilized and some of them are relatively new, jake. so in new york, this law has existed for a few years. in other states it's been just a couple of years. on one hand when we look back at it, there's so many tragic aspects of this particular event, one is that there were so many warning signs that this individual exhibited, and he came to the attention of all the authorities that you would want someone like to co

john. they really are, we see all three candidates leading in different polls. >> we have no idea what's going to happen. >> if you call pennsylvania state, you have to put a quarter in jake tapper -- >> tapper gets an electric shock. >>> north carolina is fascinating to watch because the key gop primary is going to be decided along with the fate of a battled house republican madison cawthorn, cnn's eva is joining pu. >> reporter: good morning, from north carolina, so many key watches to watch here including the race. i've been tracking the primary. i was on the trail with congressman ted bud, a third term republican leading in the republican primary here. he was endorsed by former president trump last year and that really changed things in terms of getting him name recognition across the state, as well as helping with fundraising. he has relied heavily on the second amendment. he's an immigration hard-liner, he is a member of the freedom caucus. and still notably, he won't say that president biden won the 2020 election. take a listen. >> and that i have great constitutional concerns about 2020, i don't think it's a partisan issue whether somebody is a democrat unaffiliat

it is a big defeat, jake, but there was more than just the lie that was the subject of this 11 days of trial here. if you look on right-wing media, you'll see the fruits of what johnhe point that in 2016, hillary clinton's campaign was part of a big conspiracy with sussmann and others playing a role to use the media and the fbi to go after donald trump. that's very much, you heard it dozens of times, the prosecutors used either clinton's name, clinton campaign, hillary for america. they repeatedly did that during the trial. in the end, according to the jury, that didn't matter because they didn't prove their case. but you can listen to michael sussmann here after the verdict talking to the cameras today. >> i told the truth to the fbi and the jury clearly recognized that with their unanimous verdict today. i'm grateful to the members of the jury for their careful and thoughtful service. despite being falsely accused, i'm relieved that justice ultimately prevailed in my case. >> jake, a couple reporters caught up to the jury forewoman after the verdict. and she said essentially that this was a waste of time. >> but the larger point that you're trying to make, you'r

john lewis voting advancement act. they're trying to take away all of our rights, all of the rights of african americans, people of color, women, the disabled. so it's time to get politically active, jake today that this decision, this getting rid of precedent, if indeed that's what the court does, it could mean other rights such as same-sex marriage are at risk. do you agree? >> i agree. and that's why i'm saying, labor rights, environmental justice, all of the issues that the supreme court could just use this as a precedent, right? to start just taking away all of our rights. this is very dangerous because we're living in a democracy, and what's left of it, jake. and we need to sound the alarm because they're coming after women today. they're coming after you tomorrow, and so this is a time that everyone has to understand that our rights are at risk, and democracy is at stake. the survival of our democracy, the survival of the rights that we have been fighting for over the years, people of color, african americans, labor unions, women, the disabled. you name it, the courts are taking away these rights. and if this decision comes down the way this leaked document says and indicated, t

john boozman is up for re-election. now he's been endorsed by former president trump, by sarah sarah huckabee sanders and his fellow senator tom cotton, jakeresident trump support? >> absolutely. no one respects president trump more than me, but all his endorsements you just listed still has senator bozeman in the 40s. arkansas is a runoff state. anyone has to get a majority of 50% plus one, and that's why senator and his allies spent $10 million running attack ads trying to stop me because if this race goes to a runoff, i'm going to win, the people of arkansas are rally ing around my campaign. they know i'm the real conservative the true america- first patriot in this race and we're seeing enthusiasm all over country for these real conservative warriors. it's not good enough just to go to d.c. and spend 20 years in the d.c. witness protection program. you've got to lead from the front and stand up and fight on the issues that matter, and that's what i'll do in the u.s. senate. stuart: did you ask for support from president trump? >> absolutely, so he made the endorsement before i got into the race. it was last march, it was well- over a y
