Transcripts For CNN New Day With John Berman and Brianna Keilar 20240707

Florida from Hurricane Ian. Majority in lee county where officials face questions whether Evacuation Orders should have been issued earlier. This morning Fort Myers Beach is closed entirely, even more residents, so crews can search for survivors. Power could be out for a month. Theres been nearly 2,000 rescues in southwestern florida since Hurricane Ian hit the state. A man in naples says he swam nearly a mile to save his wheelchairbound mother. Feels like im swimming forever. Were arriving at grandmas. Or im arriving at grandmas. Whats the time . 5 41. When he arrived he found his another neck deep in floodwaters. Needless to say, thrilled to see him. It was a sigh of relief. As i was approaching the house, i couldnt get through the front door. Water up to the windows, and i heard her screaming inside, and she was actually on the phone with my youngest son who was giving status updates to her, and it was, it was a scare and a sigh of relief at the same time. Scared thinking she might be hurt, but a sigh of relief knowing there was still air in her lungs. I got to the back window, go the it opened. I snapped the a picture so the family would know she was fine, and never seen her happier in my life. This morning, half a million still without power this morning and President Biden will visit the state tomorrow after being in puerto rico monday. The Island Territory is recovering from the devastation caused by hurricane fiona. We begin coverage live in sarasota florida. How are families handling the devastating search for loved ones . Reporter brianna, for many so hard to even find out if their loved one is dead or alive. So important. Sarasota fairgrounds run by Florida Power and light and hundreds of linemen that have from around the country, their goal, get the power on as quickly as possible, and crews working to get cell phone towers up. We spoke with a resident who found out from a nurse her father was in the hospital, in the icu on a ventilator. That was before the storm. Days after the storm she hadnt heard from them and didnt know if her father was still in there fighting for his life. She now knows hes there only because a nurse called her yesterday afternoon. Take a listen. Hes my father, you know . Hes the one that raised me, and and i cant even describe it. I cant describe it. And i hope nobody else is going through this, and if they are, i feel your pain 100 . 100 . Its awful. I mean, even in normal circumstances going through this would be awful, but to add in the hurricane and Everything Else is theres no words. Reporter the phone lines were impacted at the hospital. Theyre still down and were hit by the storm, too. Now, brianna, her big goal, figure how to get around the floodwaters that trapped her in her own community so she can visit her father. So tough going for those nadia, thank you for that. And phone lines, this is really hard. With me, so many different ways hospitals are affected. Not just they have to be knocked in or the walls come in. Theyre suffering. My heart breaks. Think about hospitals being anchors of the community. When something goes wrong with the Health Care System its so destabilizing. Yes, still under a lot of pressure. We know actually two hospitals in sarasota and charlotte had to evacuate all patients, about 200 parents. Transferring patients. Overall, about 7,000 patients transferred from 1 ooh Health Care Facilities and 65 of Health Care Facilities have reopened. Look where the pressure is coming from. Some hospitals assisting in damage, still working to get pow around water. Freestanding Emergency Rooms. Many of them damaged putting pressure on Emergency Rooms and hospitals. Discharge is an issue. How do you discharge patients when they cant go home, cant go to nursing homes, and no beds available in the hospital. Staffing issues. If the staff lost their homes or ability to get to the hospital, thats a problem. Hit at multiple angles. Thats just hospitals. Talk about Nursing Care Facilities and assisted living. 18,000 also evacuated from 160 hess Care Facilities or nursing homes. This is difficult allaround for the Health Care System there. And cascading series of problems, and then there is specific Health Concerns and challenges in the aftermath of a hurricane. Right. Certain things to keep in mind. First and foremost, individuals need to stay out of the flood waters. They can have sharp objects. Chemicals can carry disease. Avoid driving in floodwaters. Staying away from downed power lines or going into buildings with structural damage. Avoid using electrical products that may be wet. Once back in the home, Pay Attention to things like using flashlights, not candles. Nine individuals died from carbon in a knox id poisoning already. Theres a tendency to use those Charcoal Grills or camp burners inside the house. Something to Pay Attention to. Carbon dioxide is tasteless, has no smell. And contaminated food and emotional wellbeing. A lot of anxiety and stress. So much stress. Physical, you know, and emotional. People have could be really carol. Doctor, thank you so much this morning, the u. S. And japan joining forces to strongly condemn north koreas latest Ballistic Missile launch. The path of this actually went over japan overnight. Air raid sirens sounded off as japanese officials warned their citizens to take kcover. The last time north korea fired over japan, 2017 when kim yong un was Trading Insults with them President Trump. Were live from taiwan and this Missile Launch stands out here, will. Yeah. Hearing Air Raid Sirening brought me right back to the sounds that really jolted people when they hear them, because thats a Warning System. Japan only activates this for national emergencies. Were not quite at the level of tension in 2017 when trump and kim were Trading Insults during the fire and fury days. This missile, its trajectory brought it farther than north korea had ever launched a missile before. They tested missiles capable of going much farther, even reaching the u. S. The fact they flew this over japan the third time is a signal kim jongun is going to continue escalating tensions in the months to come. How is japan reacting here . Reporter strongly condemning it. As i said, they activate at Warning System reserved for things like earthquakes and Major National disasters. They told people to take cover, to go underground. They look at this as a direct threat to them, and it was the former japanese prime minister, shinzo abe, started floating the idea of firststrike capability. Japan shooting down enemy missile bases. He was talking about north korea, even though they didnt try to shoot this missile down, japan feels theyre in the direct line of fire if these provocations continue. Translator a Ballistic Missile launched that flew over our country is not only an issue for aircraft and vessels, its a serious and problematic action that involves the safety of residents living in the area where the missile flew over. We have strongly protested against north korea in the strongest terms. Reporter as provocative as this was, brianna, experts say a nuclear test could be on the horizon, which would certainly ratchet things up to a higher level. Thank you for that report, will. And Armed Rebellion against the united states, on to references of the Princess Bride a case against the oath keepers. Five alleged members are on trial in washington, d. C. s federal courthouse accused of plotting to attack the u. S. Capitol january 6th. In its Opening Statement yesterday the prosecution cast the charges of Seditious Conspiracy in the starkest possible terms invoking the earliest days of american democracy saying this ever since our government transferred power from George Washington to john adams in the year 1797, we have had a core custom of routine and peaceful transfer of power. These defendants tried to change that history. They concocted a plan for Armed Rebellion to shatter a bedrock of american democracy. The defense argued they had no part on what occurred. That the real evidence will show you our clients were there to do security for events for the 5th and the 6th. In an unexpected turn the defense telegraphed its defense to show how the Princess Bride would prove their incidence. An argument, facebook is such an instigator and Storming The Castle merely quotes from the 1987 cult classic. Im not sure its the most important thing but not an instigator was not in the Princess Bride. However, Storming The Castle is a quote. Yes. Such an instigator. I dont think they taught that in second and third year law school. Not even in the Princess Bride. The point theyre trying to make, this was all overblown. The best defense in the past for charge of Seditious Conspiracy, given rarely by the federal government but failed in 2012 directed at the michigan militia is that this is all politicizing free speech. Seems to me, and prosecutors argued, january 6th is fundamental different. Thats where the crux of this debate will play out in court. Fascinating and high stakes but january 6ble makes it different. That fact. Whats different about this tr trial . The oath keepers trial . Seditious conspiracy. This is the, the highstakes criminal statute that a lot of folks were saying, how come this is all About Obstructing Official Proceedings . Because what it really is about is stopping a peaceful transfer of power. Covered thins basically wing nuts, rememember it kel well. This seems to be an attack on the constitution and peaceful transfer of power. Prosecution rolled out they have tape of saying Thus Always To Tyrants what booth shouted out for shooting abraham lincoln. Him taking the stands, the higheststakes moments of this, but fascinating to see how their allegation they were only there at peacekeepers, waiting for President Trump to invoke the insurrection act, is their defense. That will be the contradiction of their own actions and words on tape in and around the 6th. Another development overnight, nothing to do with this. The maralago case. Washington post first and then the times, that donald trump apparently asked a lawyer of his Alex Cannon To Kel the archives, way back after the first batch of documents was turned over that, hey, weve given you everything. Asked this lawyer to say, weve given you everything, the lawyer saying, i cant say that because i dont know it to be true. This is potentially important legally . It is potentially important. Heres why. First of all, heres trumps only lawyer saying, im not lying to the federal government for you, because i cant, i dont have confidence that what you are asking me to say is true, and then trump goes off and says, well, hell fire off a note to that effect. The fact trumps own lawyer, weve seen a pattern of this in different ways. Is saying, i cant simply take my clients word for it when it comes to putting my reputation in front of the federal government. Thats very significant. In all of this. Especially when it comes down to the documents. And any Chance Justice too prove donald trump knew what he was asking wasnt true. I mean the lawyers knew enough to say i cant take your word for it. He said, fine, ill do it myself, but some of those documents that remained in maralago were moved into his office. Thank you very much. A scathing report finds players in the u. S.

Soccer president is calling the findings of an independent investigation that reveals systemic abuse and misconduct by coaches in the top tier of womens professional soccer. The report also issued warnings the girls face abuse in youth soccer as well. Cnn is live for us in chicago with more. Just very alarming findinging here, lucy. Reporter incredibly alarming, brianna. A coach asking a player to his house to review game video and then showing pornography and berating Young Players quizzing them on sex lives yet another coach accused of coercing their players into sex. Gruesome findings in this report that comes a year after professional players effectively refused to compete in games demanding this behavior be addressed, behavior that this report say its was many executives, coaches, as well as owners knew about, but did nothing to stop it. A shocking, new report alleges stimic abuse within the u. S. Womens professional Soccer League saying Sexual Misconduct and verbal abuse spread throughout the report spread even into youth soccer. We thought it was important to lay it all out in terms of, embarrassed on the evidence that we were able to find who knew what when and what they did about it and what they didnt do about it. Reporter former acting attorney general sally yates led the independent investigation which interviewed more than 200 people and found the National Womens Soccer League under the u. S. Soccer federation failed to provide a safe environment for players. The report stating abusive coaches moved from team to team and those in a position to correct the record stayed silent. The report focused on three now former head coaches, but acknowledged numerous other problems across the league, and this isnt the first time one of them, paul riley, faced allegations. Last year he was fired from the North Carolina courage after a report by the athletic detailed allegations of Sexual Coercion and misconduct against him. He denied the accusations then and cnn has not been able to reach him for comment on the latest report. He told cnn affiliate wraltv that he was not ready to talk, and called the report not much of an independent investigation. Shenay barley is one of the professional players accused riley of abuse in the report and she spoke to cbs news. Soccer for me was my safe space in my world and something that i had such an innocent, pure love for since i was a little girl, and that was taken from me. Reporter those allegations are abuse echoed by former portland thorn Midfielder Mana who spoke to espns east60 alleging as in the reported riley her former coach invited her to his hotel room. I was terrified, and i knew, i knew at that point that i had to find a way out and i was not willing to compromise myself for my career, or for this person. Reporter Alex Morgan One of team usa stars says allegations were detailed in the report also opened up to espns e60. I just knew he needed to be held account one day, and it would happen one day but it took years for that to happen. This is very emotional for me and honestly im having trouble absorbing everything in the report. Reporter on monday u. S. Soccer president Cindy Parplow Cone reacted to the report saying the problem is bigger than one person, one organization and systemic. Time to read through it and think about the actions and inactions of certain people and that, it will take us some time to really think about whats need to be done in terms of discipline. Reporter now, the National Womens Soccer League said it would review the findings. In a statement they wrote, we recognize the anxiety and mental strain these pending investigations have caused and the trauma many including players on staff are having to relive. The big questions, what action will be taken by the league and federation to ensure this kind of behavior does not continue going forward. So unacceptable what we found out here. Lucy, thank you for that report. Next what ceos of Major American Companies are saying abouout the chances of recessio and a case a against Alice Joalice alex jones for spreading that the January 6th Insurrection and election was a hoax.

A new cnn report this Morning A Survey of 400 leaders of large u. S. Companies shows that 91 predict there will be a recession in the next 12 months. Only 34 of those ceos think it will be mild and short, and half say theyre preparing for job cuts to deal with the fallout. With me now, cnn chief Business Correspondent Christine Romans and Cnn International correspondent mark stewart. Romans, whats going on here . A recession some day. No one knows when. One is coming. No one knowing when. Nervousness and uncertainty among some of these ceos. The last two and a half years has been hellish running a company. Worried about war in ukraine, energy and supplies a problem. Snarled Supply Chains still a problem and the fed jacking up Interest Rates. The cost of everything is more expensive for them. This is something weve been hearing from those we know for months. Not a big surprise. Heard the ceo of fedex talk about this and a few weeks ago the president of chevron talking rising oil costs and fuel costs. I think the biggest tellall is not necessarily the survey but what we hear end of august, beginning of november, Companies Start to release earnings reports. Not only hear how they did but theyre going to provide a road map for the future. Exactly what has them stag up at night, what the obstacles are and possible solutions twonchts th. Two things jump the out at me. Recession is coming some day. When is some day but the job cuts. Theed in theyre already laying the ground for possible job cuts. Such a split screen. One of the concerns is finding and retaining talent. Right now they dont have enough workers, but worried about a turn where theyre going to have to start laying workers off. An interesting were getting a jobs report this week that could be Separaty Strong overall for companies hiring. I think the job story is still so mismatched and odd in this country. I really cant figure it out, because we have two job openings for every job seeker, yet all of these ceos saying might have to start laying people off. Really . Also they are hungry to hire. When does that switch turn . And labor, just a few weeks ago, pointing out look how difficult for companies to even get to where they are now . Do they really want to lay people off . Because then that becomes an even bigger burden, business burden, when things perhaps improve. By the way, we should point out a lot of these ceos think there is a recession. Its going to be short lived, pretty quick. In that survey, interesting to me. 31 said if theres a recession it wont be mild. Whats the determining factor between whether it is mild or not . So i think what these ceos are telling us they dont buy the idea somehow a magical soft landing. That the fed will be able to jack up Interest Rates and carefully bring the economy down from that. They dont think thats going to happen. So what does a mild recession look like . Maybe two shallow quarters of negative gdp growth . Maybe the jobless rate rises. It doubled in the terrible financial crisis. I dont think anybody is calling for that. There is a pathway thats interesting economists are talking about. A lot of people coming into the labor market you could see jobless numbers rise without massi massive layoff its. Thats possible. A technical thing. Mark, christine, thank you boemp very much.

Republican nominee for senate in georgia, Herschel Walker denying a daily beast report that he paid for a girlfriends abortion more than a decade ago flying in the face of ace antiabortion stance on the campaign trail. Cnn cannot confirm this but drama did not stot there. Not at all. Walkers son lashed out at his father on social media accusing him of lying and of not being a family man. Walker responded on twitter saying, i love my son no matter what. So here we are with five weeks to go until midterms. How does this georgia race and other key races power . Joining us, chris cillizza. Youre looking at a handful of key races that could change the Balance Of Power in the senate. Take us through this. Ill get to georgia in a minute. That race is one of them, brianna. First i start with where we are broadly. 36 seats up in this election. This is important. There are 7 more republican seats than democratic seats. There are more targets for democrats than republicans, but this is the other piece of math i want you to remember. Democrats have a, one seat, should have been a one, have a oneseat majority. Okay . Talking about very narrow margins here. Lets get to georgia. Lets talk about that race. This is Rafael Warnock elected in that january 2021 special election, and walker. Walkers campaign. This is not new. Lots of controversy has followed Herschel Walker throughout his campaign, but he still is within striking distance. Excuse me, striking distance. 4641 is a manageable race. The thing to remember about this too. If neither candidate gets 50 it goes to a December Runoff with the top two vote getters. The race might not be over in november. It might go to december. Go through a few other ones. Pennsylvania is probably the race most people are following it at all, ive heard. John fetterman, Lieutenant Governor against memic oz, tv doctor. A d plus 2 race. Sorry, doctor, wrote on his face there. A d plus two race right now. This has moved. Fetterman was ahead by high Single Digits in this race, really had oz on the defensive. Now fetterman is starting to close a little. Oz is hitting fetterman on crime, a common theme in the senate race since republicans are attacking on crime. Go to nevada. This is sort of your under the radar senate race. Its out west. Not as many people talk about it, but look here. This is the incumbent. 43 for the democrat. Adam happened to United Donald Trump and Mitch Mcconnell behind him, amazing thing given what weve seen over the last few days, 45. Most polling has this race effectively tied, but these are the three races. Georgia very close, as you can see. Pennsylvania basically tied. Nevada effectively tied. These are the trhree races, i think, when we get down to it the closest and deciders of which Party Controls the senate. John . There are the three, but if you were to go to four. If you could count higher than three, chris what would be the Fourth Senate race. One two sorry. Take too long for me to count to four. Going to this next slide. Okay. I think i think the next one there is this race. Wisconsin. Ron johnson against Lieutenant Governor mandela barnes. Johnson plus two of late is a change as well. Johnson, stop me if youve heard this before, a little broken record, gone after barnes on his crime record thinks hes set on crime and made up ground. A sleeper race, though . New hampshire, talk a lot about, because of the controversial republican nominee. Ohio talk a lot about because jd vance is underperforming. Its ohio. Trump won by eight points there. This is the race people arent talking about. North carolina, ted budd, trump endorsed running against a woman named beasley. Came out tied. A state trump won and also a state barack obama won in 2008. Keep an eye on North Carolina its a little bit outside of that immediate narrow this, if were ranking, im going to put that onefourth, wisconsin, but keep an eye on North Carolina. That might be the race were not talking about, but a race that actually winds up being a little closer than most people expect. Guys . We will keep our eye on that and to remind people, you have a in podcast, chris cillizza, explaining how the world would change with tiny shifts in the status quo. Listen to this wherever you get your podcasts. Chris, thanks so much. And heightened tensions between the u. S. And iran over the regimes violent crackdown on protesters.

Now were cool with apples. Okay. Good. Interesting. Drop what youre doing, Ladies And Gentlemen and focus up here. A devastating scandal in the world of sport. At a fishing in cleveland on friday. A duo declared winners caught cheating. Of course, this was fishing. After caught, they were released. [ cheers and applause ] and that is the perfect segue to our next guest there. Referencing the investigation under way in an apparent Cheating Scandal at a walleye Fishing Tournament on friday. Jake runyan and Chase Cominsky Set to win a nearly 30,000 prize when disqualified after discovered their fish was stuffed with lead weights and fish filets. Heres the moment. We got weights in the fish there we go [ bleep ] no [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. Get outta here [ bleep ] [ bleep ] bln. You black [ b you where one . Tensions ran very high after that moment. Joining us, steve hendrix, competitor angler part of the competition there for that moment. Steve and his teammate ryan ended up winning Team Of The Year honors after those two allegedly cheating fishermen were disquartered. First off, congratulations. A big honor, to be Team Of The Year, but tell us about this moment as you witnessed these lead balls being pulled from these fish. What was that like . Well, it was a crazy weekend. We had, they cake up and had their fish out in the tank and they were getting ready to come up and they picked up a fish that should have weighed about four pounds, set it on the scale, it said eight, put the rest of the five, came up to 35. Everybody was going nuts you can see in the video. Very obvious this time they werent going to get away with that. Its just its a shame that had to happen, and im just glad they got caught and its been a long time coming. So a long time coming, you said. Youve suspected this in previous competitions. One of the things weve learned there are actually polygraphs in larger competitions and one of these competitors fail Add Polygraph in a previous one which cost them. You suspected this . You and others . People had gooded . S and thoughts about it, but like anything, you want to give people benefit of the doubt, but, you know, some, when you failed one and pass one and theres Different Things and they blow everybody out of the water by five, six, seven, eight pounds every time and just you know, some shady stuff going on. So theyve been investigated, done the polygraphs. Jason fischers done a great job trying to do polygraphs and testing, asking questions and doing everything he can do to keep it legit, but they got it this time. So you know, i wonder in this case, talking about weights of almost eight pounds. Seems like maybe if theyd gone for less they would have gotten away with it and still won. What needs to change in pro fishing to make sure this doesnt happen again . Well, i think theyre going to bring in some maybe some kind of xray. Maybe scanning, or maybe top five boats maybe open the fish to see whats in the fish, and that way take all the question out of it. I mean, theres this is a rare, rare thing. 99. 9 of the group is, theres none of this. This isnt something that happens all the time, and you know, we got a great group of guys, a lot of benefits and donation. We have great sponsors. Its a great group of guys out there doing what they love, and this is just a shame we had to deal with this, but at the same time its a good thing. It will be an eyeopener for everybody and we got the bad ones out of there. Going forward, there will be, like i say, maybe a few item and kicking around a bunch of ideas what to do to make it better. A lot of money at stake here both in earnings and when it comes to sponsorships for sure, but County Prosecutors in cleveland have opened an investigation into this. Have you talked to them . What do you think needs to happen here . I really havent. We just, you know, jason, the tournament director, jason fischer, he handed over everything that we had.
