Transcripts For CNNW CNN 20240704

You good morning, everyone. We are so glad you are with us. 8 00 a. M. Out east. There is a lot happening around the world and in the political world, that is for sure. Former President Trump bracing for possibly more indictments, but we are learning that his Political Action committee is nearly tapped out of money. It had more than 100 million at the start of last year. Now it has less than 4 million. Most of that money went to legal bills. And the u. S. Punching their ticket to the Knockout Stage at the womens world cup. It wasnt pretty and it was pretty close. Carli lloyd called it uninspiring and disappointing. We will have highlights. And a Concertgoer Filing a report against cardi b saying they were struck by the microphone she threw from trt stage. What may have happened before cardi b was hit with a drink that was thrown at her. This hour of cnn this morning starts now. Good morning. Brandnew this morning, i hope you are all awake at 3 00 a. M. The u. S. Womens soccer team was playing and now advancing to the next round after a hard fought draw with portugal. They struggled to maintain possession, repeatedly failed to breck through portugals staunch defense. This is the only time they have failed that win their group, finishing behind the netherlands. Andy, we arent used to seeing this team struggle. Whats up . Well, we are not used to these performances from the u. S. Womens National Team. They entered this tournament as the favorite, trying to become the first team ever to win three straight world cups. There is good news and bad news. The good news, they made it out of the group stage. The bad news is they havent shown much chemistry in any of the three games thus far. Usa usa woo reporter the u. S. Womens National Team in an unfamiliar position at the world cup. We thought it would be an easy win and we thought we would be on the road to ikt havery, but tonights a big game. We support the team. We love them. Just a little anxious. Reporter those feelings would last deep into tmatch wit the u. S. And portugal tied at zero to the 91st minute when the u. S. Found themselves inches away from elimination. Its off the post reporter nearly a heroic goal for portugal with the netherlands beating vietnam handily, that would have doomed the u. S. Megan rapinoe entering the game in the 61st minute, unable to provide a spark. The match would end scoreless. The result good enough to earn second place in the group and advance. Yeah, its tough to be second. We wanted to go through first. I mean, this team gave we just didnt put the ball in the back of the net. In the last few minutes we had to hold down, get the result and move on, and now we look forward. Reporter this was the worst performance ever for the u. S. In the group stage, winning just one game. The results not what u. S. Fans were expecting from the twotime defending champs. All i have to say is that the u. S. Needs to get their [ bleep ] together because, you know, we cant make it through the Knockout Stages like this. Reporter its on to the round of 16 for the u. S. Women. Thats what we wanted out of this match ultimately is to have another one. On to the round of 16. Excited to see who we play. Reporter so getting second in the group is not ideal. Now the u. S. Will have to play sweden on sunday more than lake lie. Its the u. S. s kryptonite. They have beat on the u. S. In two straight olympics. They will need to play better if they hope to make a run at an historic Third Straight world cup title. Next game sunday 5 00 a. M. Eastern, guys. Set that alarm clock a little later and vsleep in considering what we had to do today to watch the game. I want your reaction to what former player and twotime world cup womens soccer champion julie fadi told us earlier. It just hasnt clicked. And the thing is, i mean, this happens in a tournament and so the first thing you say as a team is its great they got through, they advance. The thing that i keep coming back to is it doesnt feel like there is a lot of chemistry, not a lot of confidence and swagger with this u. S. Team and so i honestly think they need to stop thinking about the xs and os and focus on lets enjoy this and play and have fun and actually bring some joy back to it. Kbhaes your take, andy . I completely agree. Anytime you score four goals in three matches, you could definitely say they are lacking chemistry. Carli lloyd said the team was uninspiring, disappointing. You have a lot of new, young members on the squad this time around, and maybe they are feeling that pressure of hearing, you know, wely won the last two times, we are going for the threepeat, you know, its uto you now. The bottom loine is, they have o play better. Alex morgan is going to have to start scoring goals if the u. S. Is going to twin their Third Straight world cup. And the coach getting a lot of criticism as well. People want to see a better game plan, better substitutions because now, you know, like we said, no margin for air. If know play sweden on sunday, you cant lose that game. There is no draws. You have to score goals and win. Everyone hoping they will be able to flip the switch. Survive and advance. The optimist take. They are going to flip the switch. Yeah. Five days to figure it out. They just got that to play together. Thank you. To russia. Russia Calling A Second Drone Strike by ukraine On A Moscow Skyscraper a Terrorist Attack this morning. Russias Defense Ministry said onlost control before crashing into a highrise tower in that very same building that was hit on sunday. Ministry Officials Say they rappelled a ukraine pat ship in the black sea. Six team have died after an attack in the hometown of vasquez. Nick paton walsh joins us. Is this the next phase of counteroffensive by ukraine . Reporter certainly, the feeling that perhaps moscows elite could have had, this was a war fought by russias poor far away from the glass towers is being shattered to give the metaphor there. The second time that the same building has been hit in just three days. Thats clearly no mistake. While ukraine is not openly saying they are behind these drone attacks, it is, obviously, their message to say they can hit with bin point accuracy parts of russias defense infrastructure. Quite a different story though while russia has called these acts of desperation and acts of trifrm there is certainly i think a feeling among the ukrainian civilians its desperation that they are on the receiving end of night after night civilian targets hit by russian barrages. While you mentioned the hometown of ukrainian president Vasquez Being Hit now with six dead and over 70 injured had a recently liberated from russian occupied fours. A hospital hit where a doctor was killed and a nurse injured. This is the daily repeat cycle of russian brutality on the ukrainian civilian population here. White lives matter while russians president says its a sign that the war is slowly returning to russian territory, there is intense fighting on the Southern Front here. We saw it yesterday and the russian chief of Staff Affairs have visited that front line. Its vitally important for russias warrest and those attacks are intensifying and so are the barrages. One against the other across the Ukraine Russia border. Oopz. Also this Morning A Federal Grand Jury is expected to convene in washington and former President Donald Trump is bracing for another possible indictment, posting that he assumed Special Counsel jack smith will indict any day now as part of a long running 2020 election interference probe. This one of many legal battles trump is facing along with his associates and in the classified documents case his maralago Property Manager is out on 100,000 bond after appearing in a miami courtroom. He is accused of seltelling the clubs i. T. Director that the boss wanted footage deleted. Thats in the hands of the defense and the prosecution according to a new court filing. In georgia the District Attorney says she will decide whether to charge anyone by the efforts by trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election there by the end of the month. The legal bills for trump and associates are adding up. We are getting a sense of by how much. A dent it is putting his campaign a war chest. His pac has less than four Million Dollars left in the account down from 105 million. That is a huge change in the beginning of last years. The situation so desperate, team trump to clawing back a donation it made to a protrump super pac to help for legal feels whenever trump has been look at that. See those spikes . Thats what he has been charged or arraigned his donations go up. Could a third, potentially fourth indictment if they come impact his donations in the same way . Lets see what we may see from the grarj they are expected to potentially meet today, the former Criminal Deputy Chief at new york and sara louis and National Correspondent for the Washington Post philip, good to have you all. Philip, whats your response to those numbers and the fact that steam trump had to claw back . Its impossible to spin that as a positive. The thing you showed is on that graphic where you saw the surge in donation after the manhattan indictment but smaller surge in donations during the indictment for maralago. If thats the pattern, the pattern is im being targeted give me all your money and gets money and i am being targeted and give me more money and he gets less money, thats problematic he needs to keep paying the legal bills. Yeah. We are also just learning we were talking about the trump legal issues that he is facing, including the investigation from the Special Counsel on the 2020 Election Learning that the grand jury is in Fact Hearing Evidence from the Special Counsel jack smiths in the effort overturn the 2020 election. We expected hem or thought it was a possibility. We know that it was according to our report Othersen The Grounds there. What is happening Behind Closed Doors for people who dont understand this process, what should they be thinking is happening . So i expect that the evidence has been submitted to the grand jury and really at this point its coming down to instructing the grand jurors what the law is related to the charges that are in the indictment, explaining how the facts apply to the law, and then asking the grand jurors to vote and seeing before they vote if they have any questions about anything f they dont have questions, expecting the vote. And i expect it will happen today. I think the charges are imminent. Why . Because i think jack smith wants to get ahead of fani willis. She said she is going to charge in the first two weeks of august. This is a packed calendar of striels t trials that donald trump is facing. I think jack smith wants to get on that calendar and before fani willis does. They wouldnt charge before that august 10th hearing coming up. So jack smith does have a little bit of time here, right . Thats right. And these are there is these are cases there might be Overlapping Facts, the order they do this sort of matters and presumably there has been informal communication can you explain that to people . If the question is whether or not there was a fake electors scheme that high officials included donald trump were involved in, well, there are some allegations and some evidence thats already been made public that that happened in the case of georgia. Part in Georgia Arnlts and the scheme was hatched or advanced Off Washington which is why Journalack Smith has it. It could be the same scheme. It could be elements of a larger scheme. They talked to people in multiple statements. There may be people brought in from michigan or witnesses or common facts. So this is a big, big deal which is in part why its so important that jack smith has this case. Whatever else wept on in georgia there may be something larger. Unlike the couples case which looked straightforward, you have the evidence of people taking boxes and putting them in the bathroom or you dont. This is a lot more subtle. You know, conspiracy cases these kind of broad cases you know it gets into what was in somebody mind, who said what, when did they say it. This is a more complicated one and i think it will be really important that they get this right. I think that that is in part why they waited so long. Fani willis said she hasnt had any interactions with the Special Counsels team. Ho how is there not deconfliction . Is that change to you . I was surprised to hear that she first she said she wouldnt know him jack smith if he if he was standing next to her, which i automatic sum if she turned on a television or opened a newspaper she would know what jack smith looked like. Putting that aside, there needs to be Coordination P when you have the same witnesses when you are calling the georgia governor to testify before your respective grand juries the prosecutors want to bhoe what has been said. Things to follow up. On you know, it seems as though they have a lot of the same witnesses, they have Overlapping Facts where they are looking at a perfect call, for example, if you are looking at the same conduct you need no know what the witnesses have said and coordinate in terms of Discovery Obligations down the road sharing when the Secrecy Rules pertaining to grand jury investigations can be complicated so you need to be to make sure that you are following the rules and doing this appropriately. Its interesting that this comes as the New York Times Siena College poll shows in a hypothetical general election matchup trump and biden tied at 43 . Yeah. I mean, its i think there is this assumption particularly on the left that these indictments would be a game changer. For the past eight years they are a fundraiser. That at a minute, yeah, absolutely. But, yeah, i mean, we have this polarized political state in the United States and joe bidens best bet is to run against donald trump because democrats really, really dislike donald trump and donald trump is happy to run against joe biden because the Republican Base hates joe biden. This poll that came out yesterday they asked republicans, republican primary voters if they thought that donald trump committed a felony. Zero donald Trump Supporters thought he committed a felony. You know, jack smith can indict. The odds that his base are going to accept that thats legitimate are very low. Therefore, the odds of that impacting november as well. The polling of the football by lucy in terms of charlie brown. Its we should have learned at this point. When you looked at the numbers for poll today related to biden it was interesting. Democrats are coming home a little bit more. Not as much as he would like at this point. A clear shift towards him, people kind of understanding, all right, this is gonna be the guy more or less. What else stood out to you . Yeah, i think the democrats feeling more comfortable with biden is important because the way he won in 2020 was not because people adored joe biden. He won because he was running against donald trump. People like joe biden i dont mean to diminish that. That dynamic is in play next year. If it is not donald trump who they are running against, that mixes it up a little bit. Doesnt mean its potentially worse for joe biden. But thats thats the lineup they want to see for some time now. Even with that its still problematic based on the bacteria that its 4343. Thank you. Appreciate it. Were actually are we gonna show live pictures now . Yeah, the federal courthouse of washington, d. C. The grand jury is meeting. Some expectation it would happen. They have been seen going in. They are meeting Behind Closed Doors.

Some perspective now from sara straighter, the executive director of secure families initiatives. She is also a Military Spouse herself. Sara, thank you for taking the time. I think, you know, there is a lot of discussion about National Security implications. Obviously, the Marine Commandant is now an unfilled position to some degree as well. I untsds that i definitely want to address that. I am interested in military families. Full disclosure. I am an army brat. I understand what its like when you are in the middle of a Relocation Process or promotion, there are schools, there are housing, there are finances to deal with right now. Do you see a tangible effect on the families of these military officers . Oh, absolutely. On the 300 families directly impacted, this is taking folks who have given decades of their life to service and saying, thank you for your service, we are going to hold your career hostage. To your point, this affects the spouses, who already had to uproot their personal and professional lives over a dozen times. Kids just want to get to the next duty station to try out for fall sports. Now in their, lets say, junior, senior year of high school they cant do that. These 300 false whose entire lives are uprooted dont have control over the policy that the senator is so upset about and its so unfair. You know, the counter that we heard from senator tuberville and you guys have a petition that you sent to both the Senate Leadership and tuberville but or supporters have their own position which says by pledge to go Hold Nominations to the Defense Department until Administration Officials reverse course the senator is doing a Great Service for the American People, including its Service Members. Whats your response to that . Gosh, i dont feel that at all. It cant be understated the immediate and longlasting negative impact this has had on military families. I mean, families like mine were scared. This is automatically made us look weaker on the global stage that. Makes Service Members like my husband at higher risk of harm. There is a reason that you have military families, the loved ones of those actively serving, this fired up because these are our fufrps and these are our lives and we are asking the senator to lev ave us alone. He made clear that if the Senate Majority leader wanted to work through regular order they could work through the nominations. Would be a divergence from kind of normal course with these types of promotions. Have you talked to democrats about doing that . Why is that not an option . Its not real it can stk. It would take years to go through the all of the nominations one by one. Speaking of normal order, i would ask the senator to do the same for his own grandstanding rather than hold up these promotions for hostage, work with your colleagues to pass a law that might codify the policy you are so fired up about. The fact that the senator hasnt chosen to use normal legislative channels indicates he does not have the personal or Political Support for his grandstanding. Before i let you go, can you just walk people through what its like when you get orders . I think so few americans have connection now to military service, to the branches, to the daytoday lives of families. When you receive orders or your spouse receives orders, what happens next . Yeah, its immediate. You immediately start researching the next duty station, what neighborhood you want to live in, what School District you want to get to. You start transferring your prescriptions, medical stuff to a new doctors office. That happens right away because you never know when your orders are gonna get escalated. You start saying goodbye to folks, quitting that old job and looking for your new one. To get part way through that process and then being told you are on indefinite limbo, you might be stuck in a hotel somewhere, thats exasperating to say the least. Those orders are not optional, right . Definitely not. We dont have geographic selfdetermination about where we end up. Sara straighter, appreciate your time. Thank you. Important to hear about sacrifices that military families make every day to keep our country safe.

Grand jury Hearing Evidence from the Special Counsels investigation into donald trump and his allies efforts to overturn the 2020 election. This is live pictures of the federal courthouse in washington, d. C. We will keep you updated. Also this morning, Hunter Bidens former Business Partner testified Behind Closed Doors on capitol hill to members of the House Oversight committee. Sources telling Cnn Devon Archer said hunter biden put his father on the Speaker Phone several times in business meetings. He also claimed it was an effort to sell what he called, quote, the illusion oss. The committees chairman congressman james comer writing devon archers testimony confirms joe biden lied at American People when he said he had no knowledge of his sons Business Dealings and was not involved. Joe biden was the brand that his son sold around the world to enrich the biden family. Comer accused jon of lying about his familys Business Dealings and own involvement pledging his panell continue to inves. That. E white house responded to House Republicans keep promising bombshell evidence to support the ridiculous attacks against the president. But time after time they keep failing to produce any. Ca care i was saying earlier one of the issues of this closed door it literally comes out and he said, he said, she said, she said. What do we know . We have been trying to decipher what the testimony was. What we learned is that this was the House Republicans, they brought him in as the big president to say that now President Biden was aware of Hunter Bidens Business Dealings. What devon archer testified to is that archer was Hunter Bidens Business Partner for a decade and said over that period hunter biden would call his father every single day but he recalled about 20 times that he, hunter biden, called joe biden when he was in the presence of business executives. One time they were having dinner in paris. One thenvice President Biden stopped into a dinner washington, d. C. But archer testified that they never discussed Business Dealings. So this was not the Smoking Gun Testimony that republicans made have been looking for, and that is kind of a key thing here, that the democrats have seized on, one are of the democrats who attended that meeting yesterday was dan goldman from new york. He said that this was this whole republican investigation is a waste of time and heres more of what he said. Joe biden had nothing to do with Hunter Bidens Business Dealings, derived no benefit from it, received no money and did not know about anything that hunter biden was doing. The fact that he spoke to Business Associates of hunter biden to say hello, to have small talk, casual conversation, is not evidence that joe biden or hunter biden did anything wrong. Now, archer was also asked about this fbi form 1023, the tip sheet that senator grassley made public, and he said in the tip sheet, the tipster said there were 5 million payments that were made to the bidens and suspicions of presbribery. Archer said the allegations were not credible. His attorney said that, you know, it was clare to them that both sides are gonna be claiming victory here but all archer did was answer questions honestly. Okay. We will follow this. Thank you. So this mora Cardi B Concertgoer claims she was struck by an item thrown from the stage. No arrest or citation has been issued. The video shows cardi b performing when an Audience Member threw a drink on stage. Cardi throws microphone. This is the latest in a slew of incidents where artists have had objects thrown at them while on stage. Cnn reached out to a representative for cardi b and to the clark county District Attorney. This morning Asylum Seekers in new york city camps outside the Roosevelt Hotel Relief Center which is at expressway capacity. There are told there is no more room and the wait could be two days to two weeks. Omar jimenez joins us now. Is there another Relief Center to help them . Reporter well, at this point the people that are being told regardless of the wait times they are gobeing told they are staying in line to try to get access to either legal services, medical services or be connected with a shelter if needed. Now, you can see the line actually just behind me here. Its formed outside the Roosevelt Hotel here in manhattan, and just talking to one or two of them on my way over here, these are people that have been here for days. This is the citys first Asylum Seeker arrivals center. So it connects some of these migrants with those services that i mentioned, but is also part of what has been a Tens Of Thousands Worth of migrants that have come near new york city since last spring. The latest from the new york city mayor said that they processed more than 90,000 migrants since last spring, but right now they are at a point where places like this are at capacity and they are trying to figure out what to do as far as their next steps. And mayor eric adams said its not just about getting more funding to help with the processing, but also about speeding up the Work Authorization process to try to get some of these migrants processed and to start, as mayor adams put, their american dream. Obviously, the scenes of these migrants laying out in the middle of the street and, i mean, folks are going to rush hour or going to their jobs in the middle of rush hour in new york city like normal while migrants are literally sleeping and staying on the sidewalk here, the Legal Aid Society has taken note of that image as many here have tun as well. Its hard to ignore as you walk by. Saying denying new Arrivals Placement and forcing people to languish on local streets is cruel and runs afoul of a range of court orders and laws the. The mayor says they are working through a next phase here. For now he says they have run out of room and he does not want it to get to a point where we are seeing tents set up, up and down the streets. These migrants are waiting in line to try to get registered for shelter or other forms of service to begin the reason they likely came here to the United States, their pursuit of the american dream.

Tennessee congressman steve cohen says the suspect is jewish and used to abstudent there. He tried to walk in the school yesterday. When he couldnt get in, he started shooting outside. Ryan young is following the details. Ryan, how were authorities able to stop this . Reporter yeah, phil, this is a scary situation. You think about the Security Protocols that school had in place, may have saved some lives. Apparently the former student tried to show up to the school, tried to get inside. That didnt happen because of the doors that were in place. Then he started shooting at those doors. Then from what we are told police were called and the school was able to send his surveillance photo to police. So they were able to get that out quickly. They knew he was in a truck. They started looking for him. At some point he was pulled over by police, got out with a handgun and then shots were fired. Take a listen to the Assistant Police Chief talking about the situation yesterday. The suspect did try to enter the Building Armed with a gun. He fired shots outside the school. Thankfully, that school had a great safety procedure and process in place and avoided anyone being harmed or injured at that scene. Reporter yeah, this happened at the Hebrew Academy in east memphis. Arizona you can understand, security was placed on high alert after this. The fbi, tbi, Memphis Police department are all involving the situation. Had person showed up to the school, tried to gain entry and thanks to the Security Protocols was not able to get in. We found out the school doesnt start for another couple weeks. At the same time with this heightened awareness of people with guns showing up to schools you understand why people are taking a sigh of relief. Still a big investigation to figure out what the motivation was for this person to show up at the school. Phil. No question. Ryan young. Thank you. So cnn is learning about the American Woman arrested and charged for conspiring to ikill her husband in the bahamas after the couple filed for divorce in april. Prose prosecutors allege that Lindsay Shiver Conspired with two bahamian natives. Nick valencia joins you now. Wow. What makes this story crazier is how people were able to foil this plot. They were investigating a breakin at a local business when they recovered a phone there and they were gathering evidence on that phone when they stumbled across written messages that indicated that this sinister plot existed. Its not entirely clear who that phone belonged to. Police wouldnt elaborate on details. Two local bahamian men were taken into custody and they agreed to carry out a murderforhire plot on the husband of american Lindsay Shiver. All three suspects were in court on friday. They were not required to enter any plea but they were told if they were trying to get bail they had to appeal to the Supreme Court on the island. Social media seeming to belong to Lindsay Shiver shows she and her husband attended Auburn University where her husband played football from in the early 2000s and social media we know its a highlight reel appeared to show that family was a happy church going family. In april her husband filed for divorce, citing her adulterous conduct as the reason for the divorce. The next day Lindsay Shiver filed for divorce. We reached out to the wattorney. Meanwhile, their next court date for the suspects in the bahamas is october 5th.

Happening right now, the grand jury Hearing Evidence from the special investigation into donald trump and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. This meeting in washington, d. C. , youre seeing live pictures right now of that federal courthouse. The relentless recordlong extreme heat streaks have gotten worse every day, and though it might be letting up in some parts of the country like here in new york by the way, its been glorious, its still dangerous in the south. Its expected to hit the south even harder this week. In parts of this, 60 million americans could see triple digit temperatures. Our senior Data Reporter is here. Recordbreaking. Worst ever . Worst ever. All right. So this mornings number is 29. Why is it 29 . Because the globes hottest days on record, 29 consecutive in july, 2023 were hotter than any previously. Any previous day ever. Now we only have records dating back since 1979 according to the university of maine, but some scientists believe its the hottest 29 days on record, hotter than any before, and obviously july was the hottest month on record. Now were talking globe, but lets take it stateside. We had the hottest month ever basically in places all over this country. Phoenix of course, with all of those days, 110 degrees or above. Well go to the south, miami, florida, hottest ever. How about the northeast. All the way up in maine, caribou, maine, the hottest on record. So from the southwest to the south to the northeast, a number of places with their hottest months on record. But obviously, harry, given the unity that defines america right now yeah. At large, everybody agrees kind of on the genesis of this heat. Can we just agree its hot . This country . Apparently we cant agree that its hot. Wait, what . This is an amazing question. Oh my gosh. The cbs news ugov Poll Question asked, my area has been hot. 80 of biden voters say so, but look at trump voters. Just 43 of trump voters say so. So now all of a sudden, our partisan divide is basically filtering down and covering our perceptions of the weather and ill note this difference held is every region of the country. In the northeast, the biden voters are more likely to say it was unusually warm. In the southeast, the same thing. So basically politics is entering our weather at this point. I never thought i would see anything like this. Its double the percentage of biden voters versus trump voters who said it was unusually warm. Unbelievable, right . Wow. Wow. How about this . Effects of Global Warming have begun. If we go back to 1997, what we see is just slightly more republicans than democrats said the effects of Global Warming have begun. Look at where we are now. Democrats, almost doubled. Republicans actually went down on the effects of Global Warming. Partisan divides in weather and climate. Its everywhere, folks. It is everywhere. So telling, those numbers. Yeah. Harry, thank you. Thank you. All right. A zoo in china is forced to tell people the public that its bears were, in fact, bears and not humans in disguise.
