hello, everyone. i'm allison camerota. welcome to "cnn newsroom." victor is off today. the shockwaves from the assassination of former japanese prime minister shinzo abe continue to reverberate across the globe. the 67-year-old long-time leader of japan was shot to death during a campaign speech outside of osaka and that moment was caught on video. we have to warn you, the video we're about to show is very disturbing. [ speaking foreign language ]

[ gunshot ] >> police apprehended the gunman just moments after he fired the two fatal shots from a homemade gun. an investigation into the shooter and his motive is now under way. abe's murder has shaken japan where gun violence is virtually nonexistent. a former abe adviser says the assassination is the equivalent of jfk's. abe was considered one of the most transformative leaders in post world war ii japan. selina, do we know anything this hour about the suspect and investigation? >> reporter: we have learned from police that the suspect confessed to shooting the former prime minister shinzo abe. he is a 41-year-old unemployed man and said that he holds a grudge against a specific organization and believes that abe was a part of it. the police declined to give any more details about the motive of the suspect, but right now there are 90 investigators working on this case. abe was shot at 11:30 a.m. local

time during this campaign speech rally. he was shot in broad daylight. at 5:00 p.m., when he was pronounced dead, medical examiners said it was because of excessive bleeding. that sent shockwaves around the world. he was such a towering political figure in japan, and also abroad. he was known for being able to cultivate close personal ties with leaders from around the world. remarkable that he was able to cultivate close ties with both former u.s. president obama as well as trump, famously playing golf with trump, having regular phone calls with him, eating burgers together and was able to maintain a stable relationship with him, something that other world leaders struggled to do. he'll be remembered for wanting to boost japan's military, and change the constitution to have a more fully-fledged military. that was a controversial move, so he remained a divisive figure

in japan. he remained in politics and society even after he stepped down in 2020. >> we've been learning just how astonishingly rare gun violence is in japan. what can you tell us about guns in that country? >> reporter: well, virtually guns and gun violence are nonexistent. in all of 2021 there was only one gun-related death in all of japan. it is extremely hard to get a gun and most guns are illegal. i just want to read to you what potential gun buyers have to go through in japan. and this is not a full list, comprehensive list. but they need to attend an all-day class, pass a written test, pass a shooting range test with an accuracy of at least 95%, undergo a mental health evaluation and drug tests, and undergo an extremely rigorous background check. so guns are mostly illegal, extremely hard to get, and japan is also considered one of the safest countries in the world.

i lived there before my post in beijing up until a few months ago. i was always shocked to see how many young children would be walking alone by themselves on the streets, getting onto the subway, because this is the safe environment that japan is. so it is heartbreaking to see something like this happen in a country that is considered so safe and secure for residents and it just speaks volumes to the fact that police say the suspect used a handmade gun, alison. >> selina, thank you very much for all of that context. so leaders around the world sharing their heartbreak and outrage over this assassination. president biden met with abe many times over the years. the president ordering flags lowered half staff in abe's honor. in a statement, president biden says, quote, i am stunned, outraged and deeply saddened by the news. he was a champion of the alliance between our nations and friendship between our people. the united states stands with japan in this moment of grief. let's bring in gordon chang, a

columnist for "newsweek" and the author of "nuclear show do you know" and david sanger, a white house and national security analyst for "the new york times." david spent six years working in tokyo as the bureau chief as abe was rising in the political ranks. david, let me begin with you and just explain what he meant to the country and what his assassination means to japan. >> well, he transformed the country, as you suggested, alison. even though he was not able to revise the constitution. he turned japan much more into a national security state. he created the national security council there. he aligned japan much more firmly with the united states and with the west after concluding that japan could not handle a rising china by itself. you'll notice that when the russians moved against ukraine,

even though abe was long out of office by that time, japan didn't waffle the way it would have a number of years ago and join the sanctions. it took a few months, but they joined them. so i think he fundamentally changed the attitude of japanese on this issue and he brought about a reinterpretation of the constitution that allows basically for collective defense, that is to say, it's not just if japan is attacked the u.s. must come to its aid. he was the one who engineered the reverse of that, which is that japan will come to the aid of its allies. >> gordon, abe was no longer prime minister, but yet you say his assassination will have political reverberations across asia. why? >> first thing, he was the leader of the biggest faction in the liberal democratic party, which is the governing ruling group and that means there's going to be a vacuum and a scramble for control because the politics inside the ldp can really be vicious.

so that's one thing. but, also, because abe was really this notion of japan as a strong nation, which david just talked about, abe was very closely aligned with the people who wanted defend taiwan, and so china right now is trying really to destabilize politics in tokyo. a friend of mine who monitors social media in morocco noticed immediately after the assassination that they were getting postings from china about this, and inundating morocco's social media scene. >> that's really interesting. david, as we go to our next question, this is president biden right now. these are live pictures. he's at the japanese embassy and he is signing the condolence book there for former prime minister abe, and that leads me to my question, which is on the world stage we've seen him with joe biden when he was vice president, we saw him, of course, with president obama and then we saw him with president trump, and he seemed to have a great relationship with all of

them, which is no easy needle to thread. so how do you explain that? >> well, the obama team was initially pretty suspicious of abe when he came in for his second time as prime minister in 2012. they viewed him as sort of a right wing figure who was not going to apologize for japan's actions in world war ii, and they were right about that. but they were able to build a much more constructive relationship with him and abe, himself, worked hard on that. when trump got elected, abe was the first one to go visit him at trump tower. he brought along a gold-plated golf club. as selina noted earlier, he was playing golf with trump. he understood that every time he would meet with trump, trump would basically make the case that the united states should not be defending a country with which it had a trade surplus,

but he just patiently ignored it and kept building the relationship because he recognized that a japan without the united states was a japan adrift. >> gordon, i sort of interrupted you there because we wanted to show what was happening with president biden. but how exactly will china now seize on this? >> well, first of all, they're now talking about july 7th, 1937, which is a big day. this is japan invading china for the second time in the 1930s. so they're now playing on this nationalist theme that abe was a nationalist, this is a militant japan, we're poor chinese victims. so this is going to roil the japanese political opinion because there is a divide about how japan should interact with china. this is something that we have seen china do in a number of other countries. so we've got to be concerned this is one of those things that could ripple out through japan to the rest of the region and destabilize things. >> david, it's just astonishing

to hear about the relationship with guns in japan, particularly after these months that we have just experienced here in the u.s. political violence and gun violence in japan is virtually nonexistent. and so if you could just tell us how they have been able to do that in japan, i mean from your time there and obviously we all pray that this is a one-off and not the start of something. >> there aren't very many guns, and as you heard before, probably the reason this was a homemade gun was it was the easiest way for this assassin to get one. it's hard to do a real wager of the number of guns in the united states or japan, but the last reliable numbers we had was 0.25 guns per 100 people in japan, and about 120 guns per people in the united states. so there's a huge difference just in sheer numbers. of course, the japanese do not have a second amendment and they

don't have a history born of that. as for political assassinations, the most famous era of assassinations in japan was the 1930s when there was a militant group trying to get japan into a war with the united states. the last prime minister or former prime minister who was killed was in 1932. that was 90 years ago. there have been other political leaders killed since, not many, mostly stabbed or killed with swords. >> gordon chang, david sanger, thank you both for your expertise and for giving us all of this context as we watch president biden there at the japanese embassy paying his condolences for shinzo abe. now to this. the january 6th committee hearing has its most critical testimony yet as former white house counsel pat cipollone meets with the panel today behind closed doors. plus, president biden is touting today -- well, it was a better

than expected jobs report, but economists warn this could make the fight against inflation harder. we discuss what all that means. try dove dry spray. our weightless formula with 1/4 moisturizers is effective and kindnd to skin. leaving you feeling instantly dry and confident. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need.

are you a christian author with a book that you're ready to share with the world? get published now, call for your free publisher kit today! right now on capitol hill, pat cipollone, donald trump's former white house counsel, is testifying before the january 6th committee behind closed doors. recent testimony placed cipollone at the center of the events on january 6th. multiple witnesses say he tried to persuade trump to stop the violence and warned that any attempts to stay in office or go to the capitol that day were unlawful. joining us now is cnn congressional correspondent, ryan nobles. do we know anything yet about

cipollone's testimony today? >> reporter: the one thing we know is that it's still happening and that is significant, because cipollone has been there since early this morning around 9:00, and he has been behind closed doors with the committee. he's ducked out one or two times to have private conversations with his attorney. but the fact that he would be in the room for that long is the most significant confirmation we've had that his interview is being productive and that they are getting him to answer at least some of the questions that they're looking for. there was some concern that cipollone, being an institutionalist may be unwilling to answer certain questions because of his concerns about privilege as it relates to the executive branch. this was something we talked about in their negotiations leading up to it. and the fact that the interview is still ongoing shows that he is at least answering some of those questions. i guess the other question that we have, though, alison, is what do they do with this information. could we see testimony from

cipollone as soon as the next hearing on tuesday, could there be the opportunity to see clips in future hearings. that is all a possibility right now because, as you point out, cipollone is someone that was at the center of so much that went on in the white house between the 2020 election and january 6th, and the committee has a lot of questions for him. >> ryan, we also have some new video of the raid at the home of the former doj official that we've heard so much about lately, jeffrey clark, and based upon how he was dressed, i'm guessing that was a surprise. what have you learned about that? >> reporter: yeah, well, i think what this shows us, alison, is just how serious the department of justice is taking this expansion of their investigation into the efforts to overturn the election and how important they view jeffrey clark as a player in all of this. of course clark is someone who the committee believes was attempted to be installed as attorney general at donald trump's behest. he is someone that could play a key role in all of this and it's

somebody the department of justice believes is very important to their investigation. the fact that they banged on his door early in the morning, that they had him come out, not even giving him the opportunity to put on a pair of pants, shows that they wanted to preserve any piece of evidence that could be inside of his house on that particular day, and it shows that this committee believes that he's a very key part of this investigation. >> ryan nobles, thank you very much for all of your reporting. let's bring in cnn senior legal analyst, ellie honig. what information does the committee want out of cipollone? >> pat cipollone was the inner most circle of power, he was white house counsel for two years, he tended to keep a low profile except in the ukrainian impeachment. he actually defended donald trump in the senate. notably not so in the second impeachment related to january

6th. he gave an informal interview back in april. last week they issued him a subpoena, probably not coincidently, the day after cassidy hutchinson testified, and today, as ryan said, he is now going into hour five of videotaped testimony. i think it's a safe bet that some congressional staffer is going to have a busy weekend getting clips ready to show us next week when the hearings resume. in their letter to pat cipollone, this is how important the committee believes he is, they said you are, quote, uniquely positioned to testify. the one and only. and the committee specified a few areas they want to ask pat cipollone about. the effort to install jeffrey clark as the head of doj, the effort to install a fake slate of electors for donald trump, the effort to influence the counting of the electoral votes in congress, and finally, they want to know what happened inside the white house on january 6th. we have reporting that we reported earlier on cnn that pat cipollone was with donald trump while he watched these events unfolding on tv. >> would this be happening today

if it weren't for cassidy hutchinson's testimony? how did her revelations play into what will happen today? >> big revelations. two things in particular they're following up on. cassidy hutchinson testified that as the capitol was being breached, pat cipollone said to mark meadows the president has to do something. meadows said, he doesn't want to do anything. according to hutchinson, cipollone responded, mark, something needs to be done or people are going to die and the blood is going to be on your hands. you can bet the committee is following up with questions about that exchange. hutchinson said that cipollone said we cannot let donald trump go up to capitol hill, otherwise, according to cipollone, we're going to get charged with every crime imaginable, potentially obstructing justice or defrauding the electoral count. cipollone is right on point. those are the two crimes that i think are most likely potentially in play. but i would want to know, did you, pat cipollone, have conversations like this with other people, with mark meadows and other white house staffers. >> we keep hearing about

attorney/client privilege or executive privilege. how much does that come into play? >> there's not going to be an attorney/client issue because he was personal counsel for donald trump, he was white house counsel. he's seemingly going to rely on executive privilege to opt out of answering some questions. in a perfect world with unlimited time the committee could go to court, challenge that. they don't have that time so the reality is they're going to have to make the best of whatever they can get from cipollone. >> that brings us to the joij department of justice investigations. have they interviewed him? again, are they following the january 6th committee in terms of their investigation? >> it's a great question, alison. we don't know whether cipollone has already talked to doj. there's zero indication he has. and, remember, last week when cassidy hutchinson testified, doj was completely blindsided by that. maybe we'll find out if they're talking to pat cipollone, maybe we won't. but if they're not, i don't know what they're waiting for. it's obvious he needs to testify and doj needs to get his

information as soon as possible. >> thank you so much for walking us through all of this. so president biden calls the economy well positioned to fight inflation following the release of a very strong jobs report today, but some economists think otherwise. so we're going to speak to a member of the biden administration about it all next. she's feeling the power of listerine. he's feeling it. yep, them too. it's an vigorating rush... ...zapping millions of germs in seconds. for that one-of-a-kind whoa... ...whi leaves you feeling... ahhhhhhh sterine. feel the whoa! hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. wow. so sudden.

president biden is touting today's better than expected jobs report. the u.s. added 372,000 jobs in june. the unemployment rate held steady at 3.6% for the fourth month in a row. the strongest gains were in professional and business services, hospitality and health care industries. joining us now is a member of the white house council of economic advisers, jared bernstein. thanks for joining us. >> pleasure to be here. >> very good news, obviously. these are really strong numbers, higher than what was expected. did they catch you by surprise? >> well, i always expect these monthly numbers to jump around a bit relative to expectations. one of the things we like to do at the council of economic advisers is smooth out some of the monthly data by looking at longer-term averages so you filter out the noisy data, try

to pull the signal out. 375,000 jobs per month on average over the past three months, so that's the second quarter. that's a bit slower, if you go back a couple of quarters, but it's still extremely strong job growth. this is a welcoming labor market. and that is slowing from a break-neck pace of 500,000 to 600,000 to something closer to 350,000, 375,000 range is precisely what the president was talking about in transitioning to more stable, steady growth rates. >> obviously the unemployment rate is just one metric of the economy and there are others that are more concerning to economists. "the new york times" put it together, the congress department says retail sales fell in may, university of michigan had a survey, consumer confidence hit the lowest level they've seen. half say inflation is eroding their standard of living. demand for real estate has dropped. mortgage rates are high. the s&p 500 had their worst first half of the year since

1970. what is most concerning here to the white house? >> well, first of all, we could have a whole duel about good versus less good or bad numbers out there, and i think there's both. so i think you have to really kind of get the nuances. i think when you're talking about consumer spending, that's actually held up very well in this economic recovery. even last quarter when gdp had negative handle, consumer spending was a real plus. that negative came from inventories and imports. and one of the things supporting consumer spending, which by the way is 70% of the economy, is the very strong labor market, wage gains, the fact that industries across the board are strongly adding employment. but the other thing is that families have uniquely solid financial balance sheets. now, this is an aggregate result that varies across the income scale. but on average families have more savings than they had in the past, and part of that has

to do with the american rescue plan, the shots in arms and checks in pockets made a lasting difference. and that's a real buffer against some of the issues you raised coming at households right now, particularly elevated inflation. >> let's talk about inflation, because that's what obviously hits people in the pocketbook. here is food prices. these are the latest numbers that we have. this was this may compared to last month, so if we look at that, milk is up 15.9%, meat and fish up 14%, eggs up more than 32%, fruits and veggies up more than 8%. when will these prices come down? >> well, first of all, let me say that -- i was going to say i certainly understand this because i, myself, have been doing food shopping lately, so i know exactly what you're talking about. more importantly, the president consistently starts every economic speech recognizing these constraints to households. so two things. first of all, imagine going

through what you're describing with an unemployment rate that was 6% or 7% instead of 3.6%, where you pointed out it's been for the past four months. that's just about where it was pre-pandemic. if we weren't adding record number of jobs, if we didn't have this strong job market behind us helping consumers get through this period, along with an elevated savings measure that i talked about a second ago, but the second thing is let's talk about energy. i think we have to bring to this conversation that the price of gas is down. it was $5 a gallon at its peak, it's now $4.72. no one would mistake $4.72 for acceptably low enough gas prices for americans feeling the pinch, so i want to be very careful. this is not a mission accomplished moment by a long shot. but it does show that critical pricing in the economy is going in the right direction and provides some measure of relief to consumers filling up their tanks. we've got to do a lot more in

that space. >> jared, i specifically actually didn't bring up gas prices because we've talked about it a lot and i know that the president has done a lot to try to bring it down, and i know that he's not in control of that and that it's ticking down slightly, but not enough obviously for people. but the food thing, i really wanted to go to the food thing because that affects every single american. what can they have in terms of a timeframe in their mind for when those will come down? >> so let me get back to that for a second. whether we're talking about gas or food, we are in no small part talking about the conflict in ukraine, russia's brutal aggression against ukraine. that is a commodity bread basket for the world, whether we're talking about energy, food or metals. the president was consistently tried to explain to america that part of prosecuting that war on behalf of the ukrainians means that those prices are elevated. now, i'm not going to stand here and predict to you when the

constraint comes off because that's geopolitics and we're talking about economics. the best i can say in that regard is that we are not only tracking these prices, we've seen some of them begin to come down. if you look at commodity prices for food, grains, korns, you've seen some slowdown. i don't think its made its way into our price deflators yet, but that should provide some relief. not nearly enough, but hopefully movement in the right direction. >> jared bernstein, thank you very much for your time. >> my pleasure. we have some heartbreaking new details out of highland park where an 8-year-old boy is now paralyzed from the waist down. we have an update from his family. and the couple that had been separated for days following the shooting has now reunited at the hospital. we have their story of survival next.

funeral services began today for some of the victims of the july 4th parade shooting in highland park. memorials are growing along the parade route. cnn's adrienne broaddus is in highland park. tell us what's happening there today. >> reporter: today services for three of the seven deceased are beginning, and those families are remembering their loved ones for how they lived, not how they died. that includes the family of steven strauss.

just moments ago his granddaughter speaking at the funeral, saying when she walked into her grandpa's closet, she smelled one of his shirts and that comforted her. she looked up and saw photos of all of his grandchildren and that, too, gave her comfort. the family of nicholas taledo, his granddaughter telling me he loved to play the guitar and doodle. then there's jackie sundheim, who friends say she always planned the celebrations and funerals at their synagogue, but this week they had to plan hers. the family of an 8-year-old, cooper roberts, hoping that their son will wake up today after undergoing surgery. they also told us the shooting left the 8-year-old paralyzed from the waist down. indeed, there is so much sorrow here in highland park, but we've seen moments of solace and i want you all to see for yourself. take a look. this photo was captured by samantha whitehead. it shows the reunion of a couple

whitehead says the road to recovery for her friend, zoe will be long. it includes physical therapy. she was also shot. whitehead created a gofundme account to help the kolpacks with their medical bills and she says her friend, even though she's still in the hospital, can feel the outpouring of love and that is helping her move forward. alison. >> adrienne broaddus, we pray for all of those victims. thank you very much. well, president biden signs an executive order aimed to protect women's health and calls the supreme court's decision to overturn roe v. wade extreme and terrible. we're live from the white house next. ♪ limu emu ♪ and doug. ♪ harp plays ♪ only two things are forever: love and liberty mutual customizing your car insurancnce,

president biden signing an executive order aimed at safeguarding some abortion rights, specifically the order attempts to protect medicated abortions, privacy for patients and contraception like iuds. cnn white house correspondent m.j. lee joins me now. how does this work with the supreme court ruling? >> reporter: well, alison, as you know, there are so many frustrated women, families and abortion rights activists that have been waiting for the president to say more and to hopefully announce any additional actions that can come from the white house. so let me just first walk you through this executive order that we saw the president sign earlier today. the white house says that they hope that this order can protect access to reproductive health care services, including things like abortion medication and contraception. they also are focusing on protecting the privacy and information of patients, and the other area this executive order covers is the protection of the

safety of patients and health care providers. now, two big caveats that i do want to throw out there, one, the details are not all clear on exactly how these things will be enforced or executed. second, some of these ideas are ideas that we've already heard from the white house. so some critics are going to say these don't sound very new. now, i will also note that the president used some very strong language earlier today when he gave his remarks. he said this was a terrible and extreme decision from an out-of-control supreme court. take a listen. >> this was not a decision driven by the constitution. let me say it again, this was not a decision driven by the constitution. despite what the justices and majority said, this was not a decision driven by history. today supreme court majority, that is playing fast and loose with the facts. what we're witnessing wasn't a constitutional judgment. it was an exercise in raw

political power. >> reporter: the other thing that we heard from president biden is the acknowledgment that he is pretty limited in what he can do from the white house. he once again said that he would like to see congress codify roe v. wade, but he also acknowledged, again, that the votes are not currently there in congress to make that happen. so he said you need to go out and vote. if this is important to you, you have to vote in november. but that message of go out and vote in november, that's not going to be satisfying to a lot of people who feel like november is very far away and they would like to see actions being taken now. >> m.j. lee, thank you very much. the white house is also launching its 15th operation fly formula mission in two weeks. this shipment of baby formula will be coming from the uk. the shortage remains a problem. last week more than 22% of formula products were out of stock in u.s. stores. cnn's jacqueline howard joins me live. why is it taking so long to get this shortage under control?

>> that's the question many >> reporter: that's the question many parents and shoppers have out there. what we know about the current situation, we know that 20% of formula products have been out of stock for the past month, and that includes powder formula. that includes ready to drink. that includes liquid formula. and to try to help with inventory, some retailers are limiting the supply that you can purchase while at a store. so we heard from cvs, kroger, walgreens, target. they are some examples of stores that are limiting how much you can buy. krogers limiting purchases to four containers per person, and walgreens is limiting to three items per person. so this is an ongoing situation, and what we know about the upcoming operation fly formula mission that you mentioned, alisyn, that 15th mission that's approaching, we do know that it's to transport kendamil baby

formula from eng lland to new york, and we know that will be done with two flights, one on july 17th, one on july 2 22nd, d the two deliveries with have approximately 2,000 pounds of. and those products will be available at target stores. of course we plan to stay across the shortage and we plan to watch what happens as we approach that mission. alisyn. >> keep us posted. jacqueline howard, thank you very much. so former japanese prime minister shinzo abe gunned down during a campaign event. what this means for the world, ahead. better hearing leads to a better life, and that better life starts at miracle-ear. it allegins with the most innovative technology, like the newiracle-ear mini. available exclusivy at miracle-ear.
