>> rescue, joyful reunions it's rarely forces free. four hostages from hamas captivity as gaza hospitals reported scores were killed during the mission. what more do we know? white house national security adviser jake sullivan is next and turnout talk both parties focus on a key voting block suburban women, we were able to work on real solutions. are we going to empower americans to make their own health care decisions? shuns, is it enough to win in the fall due governors, republican kristi noem and democrat gretchen whitmer join me exclusively, plus american way donald trump calls for revenge as he awaits his felony sentencing. and now, vice president kamala harris says his response. it does qualifying cheaters don't like it. >> what do voters thing or political panel ways in hello i'm dana. >> bash in washington where the state of our union is looking overseas after eight long months for israel israeli hostages are back home safely. >> family reunions and tears of joy after they were rescued from hamas captivity by idf forces in a special operations saturday morning, the rate of two separate apartments and a central gaza refugee camp took months of preparation and military spokesman said, since hamas moves, hostages frequently and embeds them in areas packed with civilians like this refugee camp. following reports of heavy shelling and artillery fire, gaza hospital said more than 200 people were killed in the operation. cnn has not been able to verify claims about the exact number of civilian deaths in what was the first successful hostage rescue since february here with me now from paris where he is traveling with president biden is national security adviser, jake sullivan. thank you so much for being with me. let's start of course, with the news about the rescue of four israeli hostages inside gaza. >> how specifically did the us assist in the mission well, dana, the united states has been providing support to israel for several months in its efforts to help identify the locations of hostages in gaza and to support efforts to try to secure their rescue or recovery. i'm not going to get into the specific operational or intelligence related matters associated. and with that, because we need to protect those, i can only just say that we have generally provided support to the idf so that we can try to get all of the hostages home, including the american hostages who are still being held so i understand that intelligence u.s. >> intelligence assisted but what you say anything about u.s. personnel, us weapons? >> well, the one thing i can say is that there were no us forces, no, no us boots on the ground involved in this operation. we did not participate militarily in this operation jake a mosque claims that other hostages that they are holding inside gaza were killed as a result of the idf's mission, is that true? we have not seen that verified or were confirmed. i believe that the israelis have said they do not have any information to that effect. but of course, that is always a risk with all of these military operations, hostages have been killed over the last eight months. and so dana the best way to get all of the hostages home and to protect palestinian civilians is to end this war. and the best way to end in this war is for hamas to say yes to the deal president biden announced and that israel has accepted, which lays out a roadmap to an enduring ceasefire in the return of all hostages because that's what we're driving for, and that's what we're asking the world to call upon hamas to accept are you concerned at all given what you just said that the ball is in hamas's court right now that the rescue that happened on saturday we'll make it so that hamas might walk away from the negotiating table its a legitimate question. i it's hard for me to put myself in the mindset of a hamas terrorists. we don't know exactly what it is that they're going to do. but the basic bottom line here is straightforward to bring it into this war, to get the hostages tom, to get the full scope of humanitarian aid to the palestinian people in a safe and effective way, we need the steel and all of the people all over the world and the united states. and in countries everywhere who have been calling for a ceasefire, they need to train their attention on hamas and put the pressure on because this is the way to resolve this issue. and whatever the calculus is of hamas coming out of this weekend, the reality remains the same. this is the only credible path forward and hamas i should say, yes any word either from hamas or through hamas is intermediaries about their stance vis-a-vis the ceasefire deal that the president endorsed. >> a little bit more than a week ago. since what happened yesterday well, we've heard a lot publicly from hamas over the last week. >> we've not seen any official statements since what happened with the hostage rescue operation. and the two key error of mediators who are standing alongside the united states in this process, qatar and egypt have not yet received any official word from hamas representatives as to their stance on the deal so we are waiting that word and it should come today. it should come this, our hamas should say yet which would immediately put in place a ceasefire and immediately begin the process of bringing hostages home. this is the answer that the world is looking for. it's time to act jake, i want to ask you a little bit more about that mission. >> and one of the questions is what we're hearing from gaza different hospitals in gaza say at least 236 people were killed as a part of the israeli operation to rescue hostages what is your understanding of how many palestinian civilians not militants, but civilians were killed in that rescue mission we've united states are not in a position today to make a definitive statement about that, the israeli defense forces have put out one number for the hamas-run gaza health ministry has pulled out another number, but we do know this dana innocent people were tragically killed in this operation. >> the exact number we don't know, but innocent people were killed and that is heartbreaking. that is tragic. the president himself has said in recent days that the palestinian people are going through sheer hell in this conflict, because hamas is operating in a way that puts them in the cross-fire that holds hostages right in the heart of crowded civilian areas that puts military and placement that's right in the heart of crowded civilian areas. but every day that we see more innocent people lost is another horrible, awful tragic de and our hearts in the united states and across the world, break for that, but there is only one answer to stop that from happening going forward that is a he's fire and hostage deal that ends the military operations brings the hostages home and puts us in a position to give the palestinians and opportunity for for a better future for their people and last just about the mission we're you don't want to specifically say how the u.s. >> was it's involved, which i understand. >> but just broadly, big picture no one can deny the amazing news of seeing these innocent civilians who were finally brought back to their families from gaza after being held there for eight months. >> but is the us comfortable with the way that the israelis carried out the mission? >> looked in a why is president biden going out publicly and calling for a ceasefire and hostage deal? it's because he thinks the best sway to get all of the hostages home is in a deal where they're brought out diplomatically, where there's no need for military operations to get every last hostage out. so that would obviously be the best solution to this in the absence of that without hamas saying yes to the deal, unfortunately, we are going to continue to see ongoing conflict and military operations in which israel makes efforts to recover its citizens. and frankly to recover american citizens. what we would much prefer to see is a ceasefire where the hostages come out peacefully. that is available. israel has said yes to it. now hamas needs to say yes to it. that's where president biden's full effort, energy and attention is. and you heard yesterday from the french president here in paris that france stands behind that the world stands behind that, and hamas should come to the table and say, yeah you mentioned that you are in paris. >> i have to before i let you go ask about the trip that you and of course the president is making to europe, marking the 80th, then first ray of d-day. >> you are soon going to be part of the g7 in italy. and the president gave a very big speech on democracy as he's trying to frame the 2024 president presidential election here against donald trump as a discussion about the fate of bankruptcy, do you think democracy is in jeopardy? >> the president said in his speech that democracy, democracy is at risk all over the world from without and from within. to a greater extent now than it has been in a very long time. and what president biden was arguing is that those brave men who stormed the beaches at normandy who scaled the cliffs at pointe to hakh, who liberated europe and literally saved the world. they are calling us to step up to do our job in our time, which is two ben democracy, to stand with allies, to refuse to bow down to dictators to push back against aggression that's what president biden is seeking to do. adapt that's the message that he gave here today. and it's something he will carry forward as long as he is president. >> he said around the world, is democracy at risk? in the united states as part of this election what we do hear voices calling playing into question the basic democratic values and democratic institutions that have made our country great for 250 years. >> and those voices have gotten louder in recent years. and that is a source of deep concern. but it's also a source of huge motivation, not just for the president, but for a lot of people who want to stand up to reinforce the things that have made this country great. and we've had no better reminder. dana, than getting to see some of those still living veterans of world war ii who came not to make any political statement in normandy, but rather simply bleed to reinforce the timeless values that have made america, america, and it's something we should all remember as we go forward. >> yeah, those were remarkable images. and reminders no question about that, jake. thank you so much for being here. i appreciate jaden thanks for having me both the trump and biden campaign's are trying to turn a key voting blocs suburban women republican governor kristi noem and democratic governor regine witmer are coming up this election season. >> staley with cnn, with more reporters on the ground. and the best political team in the business follow the voters follow the rest of the results follow the the facts, follow. >> cnn. >> we just want to have enough money for retirement and traveled to visit our grandchildren. >> i understand. that's why fisher investments we start by getting to know each other. so i can learn about your family lifestyle, goals and needs allowing us to tailor your portfolio. >> what about commission-based products?

is south dakota republican governor kristi noem. thank you so much for being here, governor. >> i want to start with what we've heard a lot of from the former president since he was found guilty in his new york hush money trial. that is repeatedly suggesting that he would prosecute his political opponents if he is elected with part of what he said it's a terrible precedent for our country. >> does that mean the next president does it to them? that's really the question. and it's very possible that it's going to have to happen to them based on what they've done. i would have every right to go after them. revenge, just take time we will say that he does. and sometimes revenge can be justified governor, is that the message you think donald trump should be focusing on in this campaign right now? well, his message has clearly been that his only vengeance will be america's success. he is not interested in going after political opponents. he is interested in going back to the white house and working for the american people and their families, bringing down inflation costs and that's what i'm hearing overwhelmingly here in wisconsin. is that this swing state is so important and these people here, they're number one issue right now, is not that sham trial and not the verdict and the convictions and not what's going on as far as what a lot of people are talking about in the media, they care about what's happening to their families, how much grocery prices this is have gone up, how much better their lives were four years ago. so that that's, that's really their number one concern yeah. >> i mean, it seems clear what you're hearing from voters that that is what their concern is. but it is what we heard from donald trump this week over and over and interview after interview, that he is considering going for his political opponents. so should he stopped doing that, given what you just said, you're hearing from voters what he said is that he's warned the american people if we start weaponizing the judicial system like they did against him, that it could happen to any president. it could happen to any political opponent. what he's talking about when he's having in those discussions, is that be careful what you do because that opens the door in the future to anybody doing it. and that's what he's trying to shut down. he wants people to trust or judicial system. he wants to make sure that we still have law and order in this country. if you look at conservative areas of this country, places where republicans were in control, we have law and order we have peace stability. you go to democrat states and cities that's where you see destruction and you see judicial systems and trials and corrupt judges that prosecute their political enemies. that's what new york was. new york, that was definitely a rigged elections are rigged judicial process against the president. politically motivated well, he was found guilty based on a jury, 12 members of the 12 piers, 12 piers of his. >> the other thing i just want to mention and i do want to move on is that right now? the justice department is prosecuting the president's son. president biden, son is prosecuting a house democrat is prosecuting a senate democrat so doesn't that fly in the face of the claim that the whole judicial system has weaponized against republicans i don't think anybody believes the whole, the whole judicial system is. i think they see places in this country where it is. and a new york was certainly one of those. and i don't know dana, if you read that letter from the judge in the new york city trial that came out that talked about the fact that some of these social media posts that came out before the decision in the verdicts even came out from that jury. so there may be a mistrial coming here because it was handled so poorly by this judge, and that's what i think that will be eye-opening to the american people as they really, truly will have proof then that that judge was corrupted. now, he should have recused himself according to the ethics and rules of new york. he should never have presided over that whole process. and president trump should have never been in that section. i just want to say that those details have not been confirmed. obviously, the trial is over. so i think you're probably referring to an appeal. i want to move on to some of the politics that we're seeing in the 2024 race specifically donald trump is actively starting to look for running mate cnn is told that there are seven potential trump vp contenders receiving vetting materials so far you're not on that list. do you have any indication that you're still under consideration to be donald trump's running mate i've told president trump over and over again, he needs to pick whoever helps him when i have been loyal to him since the very beginning when he first started to run in 2016. >> he's told me his priority is picking a running mate that can govern on day one. it has been the loyalty him that can has experienced and
