4:00 am
can have these conversations and educate the next generation about things that have happened in our past and the white house. this week unveiled the founders museum. they're doing other things over the course of the next year. and so my hope is that they'll look for opportunities to do that. >> and considering how they've been scrubbing some historical figures from websites and even naval ships, i don't know. but i have hopes, just like you, rob, if only for my own kids. i want to thank you to the group chat. i want to thank you for waking up with us. i'm audie cornish. we are following that breaking news out of the middle east, of course, and cnn news central has those headlines right now. >> all right. the breaking news, a chance for diplomacy, high stakes meetings with the
4:01 am
iranians. today, we have a key update as president trump sets a new deadline for military action. >> and breaking overnight, a win for trump. >> a loss for governor newsom, a federal appeals court rules president trump can maintain control of the california national guard members he sent to los angeles to quell immigration raid protests. now what? plus, how a decision by baby boomers is going to make it even harder for younger americans to buy homes. it's not just about high prices and high interest rates. i'm sara sidner with john berman. kate baldwin is out today. this is cnn news central. >> all right. the breaking news this morning, high stakes talks expected to begin in switzerland between iranian and european officials. this opens a critical window for diplomacy, even as iran and israel traded new strikes overnight. and president trump is trying to buy more time before deciding if the u.s. will
4:02 am
directly join this fight. iran's foreign minister is set to meet in geneva with his counterparts from the uk, france, germany as well as the eu's foreign policy chief. this face to face comes as israeli emergency services responded to fires near a tech park that houses a microsoft office. that's after israel said it intercepted an iranian missile. israel's military also says it struck military targets in iran overnight, including missile production sites and a nuclear research facility in tehran. here in the united states, the white house says the president will make his decision about whether to strike iran within the next two weeks. one of the for substantial negotiations. take place. what's the setting? what's the expectation? what are you seeing, matthew? >> hey, john. well, you're right, we're in a swelteringly hot geneva where the foreign
4:03 am
ministers of britain, france and germany, along with the eu's top diplomat, have gathered in a building just across the road here. it's the residence of the german ambassador where they're going to be having lunch together, i'm told, and they're going to be discussing ideas that could potentially bring an end to the conflict between israel and iran, and certainly bring iran back to the negotiating table. they're not talking about specifics at the moment, at least not to us. but my understanding from senior european diplomats is obviously the crux is uranium enrichment. has the time come for iran to step back from its long standing refusal to abandon its enrichment capabilities? certainly, that's a red line for president trump and the trump administration. look, i mean, there is a window of opportunity here, a breathing space, in the words of one western european diplomat who i spoke to ahead of these talks for a negotiated settlement to at least take root because of that announcement by president
4:04 am
trump that he would give two weeks, within two weeks, make the decision about possible u.s. military involvement. it's there's caution, of course, being expressed here. there's been some skepticism about whether it will actually be two weeks or whether this is just a ploy by president trump to further gather u.s. military forces in the region. in the run up to what they regard as what could be an inevitable. us. us joining with israel in the attack on iran's nuclear facilities. but at the same time, it is this window of opportunity, the israeli uranium enrichment facilities and its nuclear sites in general, have been pounded hard over the course of the past week or so by the israelis. and what the expectation is here, at least the hope is here, is that there could be a recalculation on the part of the iranians, given they've been under such strong military pressure to possibly make a compromise. we'll see, as these negotiations unfold over the course of the day. john.
4:05 am
>> yeah. if it happens, it will happen in that house just behind you there. matthew. remarkable to see diplomacy, the attempt at diplomacy there, far away from iran and israel were all these explosions are happening. thank you so much for being there. keep us posted as to what you see. sarah. >> all right. inside the white house there is renewed hope as you heard john talk about during president trump's two week negotiating window that iran will agree to terms that it previously rejected. the new deadline also gives the president more time, of course, to weigh the potential outcome of a u.s. strike on iran. cnn's alayna treene is at the white house for us. elena, what are you learning this morning? >> yeah. look, sarah, i mean, the world has. >> been kind of watching and waiting. >> to. >> see exactly what president donald. >> trump would. >> decide about. >> you know, bringing the u.s. military into this and aiding israel's. >> effort and. >> striking iranian nuclear facilities. and i can tell you, you know, it's been very clear in my conversations with people here at the white house in recent days, particularly when he decided to abruptly leave that g-7 summit in canada on monday, that he was closer than
4:06 am
he has ever been to wanting to do that. however, it was also clear, and we've been reporting this as well, that he's really been struggling with this idea of potentially bringing the united states into more of a prolonged war. he's been asking his advisers, how can we avoid that? can we do some sort of strikes without making this a much fuller scare scale conflict in the middle east? now, all of this, of course, as we're now hearing from the president, delivered via a message through his press secretary, karoline leavitt yesterday that he is going to make this decision within two weeks. listen to how she put it. >> i have a message directly from the president, and i quote, based on the fact that there is a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with iran in the near future, i will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks. that's a quote directly from the president for all of you today. >> now, sarah, this is a tried and true time frame that the president likes to you two
4:07 am
weeks. it's kind of nebulous. you know, it's not necessarily a very hard and fast timeline that he normally sticks to. we've seen him use similar time frames when describing when he would make a decision on sanctions on russia. that decision never came. we saw this a lot during his first term. infrastructure week is one of those more famous memories of him using this. but all to say, i do think this is a bit different and i think the context around what the president is kind of weighing behind the scenes is so important because you really do have a lot of people, including his own base, his own supporters, who are split on this decision. you have some of them who believe that the united states should not be entering another foreign war. and then you have those people like senator lindsey graham, who believe that the united states needs to back israel fully in this effort to ensure that iran never is able to make a nuclear weapon. so all of this really weighing on the president and our most recent conversations with people here at the white house, they say, really, the president is waiting to see how iran responds. he had been waiting ever since those first strikes just over a week ago. now, to see if perhaps they
4:08 am
would be in a more weakened position and come to the negotiating table willing to really make some significant concessions. that is the key question as we watch kind of what will happen within this new two week time frame. >> sarah, it really is a big, consequential decision that needs to be made here. alayna treene, thank you so much for your reporting from the white house for us this morning. john. >> the skies of tehran lit up overnight. cnn's team seeing the missiles fly. the first western journalists inside iran. we've got a report from the ground and breaking overnight, an appeals court rules that president trump can control the california national guard, at least for now. and a nine year old girl is speaking out about the moment she was attacked by a shark, almost losing her hand. >> i was just snorkeling. then i went up to breathe and then something hard bit me. i picked up my hand and it's all in blood. >> i'm very pleased to announce live aid. it seemed a
4:09 am
harebrained scheme. it seemed like this could never happen. something went on at live aid that's still with us. >> live aid, when rock and roll took on the world july 13th on cnn. the tempur-pedic. >> breeze makes sleep feel cool. so no more sweating all night or blasting the air conditioning because the tempur breeze feels up to ten degrees cooler all night long. during our july 4th sale, save $500 on cooling tempur-breeze mattresses. >> what you want to do is save hundreds with liberty mutual. customizes your car insurance. >> that's great. >> but can you ask your friend. >> to stop digging into. >> the green? >> i can ask, but he's not going. >> to only pay for what you need. >> liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. oh yeah. who mr. big stuff. >> who do you think. >> you are. mr. big stuff? >> you're never gonna get my.

4:11 am
vision with insight and expertise to shape a unique outcome for you. advice is our craft. >> there are days. >> i feel stuck in my head, even on an antidepressant. lingering depression symptoms can make it hard to break through. i wanted more from my antidepressant. i asked about vraylar adding vraylar to an antidepressant significantly reduces overall depression symptoms better than an antidepressant alone. >> vraylar is approved for elderly patients with dementia related psychosis due. to increased risk of death or stroke. report changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts to your doctor. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, which may be life threatening or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent. high blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death. weight gain and high cholesterol may occur. difficulty moving tremors, slow or uncontrolled body movements, restlessness, and feeling like

stores, so text app to 215215. now driver starts something new to. >> middle of our year. the perfect time to add a little bit of spice head to head matchup with multiple guys on the track. 1v1 for $1 million. it could get pretty wild. >> we got major breaking news overnight out of california. well, at least i was sleeping. a federal appeals court ruled that president trump can keep control of california's national guard in los angeles. for now, the three judge panel rejected a lower court's order for the president to return control of the guardsmen to california governor gavin newsom. with us now, cnn senior legal analyst, former federal and state prosecutor, elie honig counselor, thanks so much for being with us. so what did this three judge panel say? the president can do?
4:14 am
>> john. so this is a win for the trump administration. >> a setback. >> for gavin newsom in the state of california. >> the core. >> holding here is that the courts do have a role, but a very limited one in reviewing the president's decision to deploy the national guard, the courts basically said, we the courts cannot reverse the president simply because we might disagree. we have to give the president, quote, broad deference, meaning we have to let the president do what he wants unless he has done something that is patently absurd or taken in bad faith. and then the court applied that very broad deference to this case. and they found that, well, one of the reasons donald trump gave for deploying the national guard is it's necessary to enforce federal laws. and the court of appeals said that's reasonable. that's within his power. therefore, the power remains with the president to deploy the national guard as he has done here. >> he can use them in theory, in this case to protect ice agents during apprehensions and to protect federal buildings. is it clear in this ruling how much more power the national guard can have on the streets? say,
4:15 am
can they be involved in normal policing activity so, john, that's exactly what's going to be discussed today. >> there's another hearing in this same case back down at the district court, back down at the trial court level. and the question you just raised is going to be the exact question the parties are discussing, which is what exactly can the national guard do and not do now, traditionally and under longstanding laws of this country, the military, including the national guard, cannot engage in law enforcement functions. they cannot make arrests, they cannot engage in search and seizures or interrogations unless the president invokes the insurrection act, which he has not done here. and so the key question today is, well, can the national guard keep perimeters around federal buildings? clearly, yes. the more contentious question is, can the national guard go out to arrest scenes with ice agents and sort of form a perimeter to protect them while they're making arrests? so the judge today in the parties are going to try to hash out where those lines are. >> now. again, this is no doubt about it. this was a big win for the trump administration here in
4:16 am
that the national guard can be used in the way they are being used in los angeles right now or have been over the last week. things have died down there. california. how likely are they to appeal this either to the full ninth circuit or the supreme court? >> if i was in california's legal position here, i would s' want to bring this up to the supreme court. yes. you have the option to ask them to take it. that's your last, best chance here. but i think you're going to lose california. i think if you look at this opinion, it was a 3 to 0 unanimous opinion from the ninth circuit court of appeals. you had two trump appointees and a biden appointee on that court. i don't see any way any of the six conservatives on the supreme court say, sure, a trial level district judge can overrule the president on this issue just because he disagrees. i even think some of the liberals might join with the conservatives on this. as we saw with the biden appointees. so it's an interesting strategic decision if they do bring it up to the supreme court,
4:17 am
california, and if the supreme court rules again in favor of the trump administration, then that's going to be nationwide binding, an even bigger loss for california. >> might be possible. the president actually expands his powers even more than they are already. in that case. elie honig, thank you so much for explaining it so well. appreciate it. this morning, questions about what exactly was going on at dodger stadium in los angeles. the dodgers posted on x that ice agents came to the stadium ahead of their game against san diego yesterday. the dodgers game against san diego, not ice agents game against san diego. the ice agents came in and requested access to the ground. the dodgers response was no masked federal agents were seen outside dodger stadium hours before the first pitch. that triggered anti ice protests near the ballpark gates. the department of homeland security says the agents were not from ice, and this was not tied to any immigration operation. a customs and border protection official says its vehicles were in a nearby parking lot, and one
4:18 am
had a malfunction that caused them to stay longer. still a lot unclear here. this morning, a republican congressman says he was run off the road on his way to work by someone shouting death threats. plus benches clear and a baseball game also later, shohei ohtani gets hit by a pitch. >> our brains are incredible, but memory can get complicated. that's why we created new nariva memory 3-d. it supports your short term, long term and working memory. take it from me. an elephant never forgets. remember like a relentless weed. >> moderate to severe crohn's disease symptoms can keep coming back. break away to what's possible with tremfya with rapid remission at 12 weeks and less bowel movements and abdominal pain at four weeks, most patients achieve remission at one year, and some patients saw

4:23 am
game. >> he was. >> questionable heading in because of that calf. >> strain. >> but he. only had. to play 22 minutes because of how comfortable the game was for the pacers as a whole. indiana built this double digit lead by halftime. they led by as many as 31 at one point in this game, en route to a 108 91 win. indiana's backup point guard, t.j. mcconnell, was really the star of the show. he put up 12 points, nine rebounds, six assists, four steals. he was one of six pacers to score in double digits. indiana made. >> 15 threes. >> in this game. they turned the ball over just ten times. that's compared to the 20 turnovers that oklahoma city had. so instead of sticking to this signature full court press, the pacers going for a half court trap heavy approach defensively, that really left the thunder on their heels, turning the ball over a ton and really needing to adapt heading into game seven sunday night at home it's exciting man. >> it's so, so exciting. as a basketball fan. there's nothing like a game seven. there's nothing like a game seven in the nba finals, dreamed of being in
4:24 am
this situation my whole life, you know? so to be here is really exciting. >> the way i. see it is, we suck tonight. we have to learn the lessons and. >> we have. >> one game for everything. >> for everything we've worked for. >> and so. do they. >> and the better team. sunday will win. >> and there is no love lost between the dodgers and padres. a hot tempered four game series culminating with a ninth inning brawl on tuesday. the dodgers, down three runs in the eighth when they brought in jack little for his mlb debut. not the smoothest for the rookie. he allowed four hits, two earned runs, a walk, but he hit two time all-star fernando tatis jr. on the right wrist. and that sparked this feud. both managers came out. both were tossed. both benches cleared. tatis going to undergo some testing on his wrist later today. and then padres closer robert suarez tossed in the bottom of the inning for drilling dodgers star shohei ohtani, who downplayed
4:25 am
the retaliation. he waved off his bench. the padres win it five four after losing the first three games of the week. so this game, sarah completely off the rails and a savvy move there from ohtani to deescalate the situation. these two are going to meet again in mid-august, but a wild game last night. >> we know why they get upset. we've got a specific person in here whose name i will not mention, who has been hit twice by a baseball and had an arm and his elbow broken. so it's really serious when when you get hit by one of those balls, especially one of those fastballs can be quite dangerous for the players. so you can see why everybody got up in arms there. carolyn manno, thank you so much. appreciate you. all right. still ahead, new cnn reporting on how the u.s. military is preparing in case it is ordered to attack iran. plus, a nine year old girl bitten by a shark while snorkeling. what doctors had to do to save her hand i'm very pleased to announce live aid.

>> it seemed a harebrained scheme. it seemed like this could never happen. something went on at live aid that's still with us. >> live aid, when rock and roll took on the world july 13th on cnn. >> every great performance. >> starts with a great night's sleep. >> thanks to new natural. >> sleep and restore. >> which helps me. >> be this me, this me. this me. i'm kidding. to be my best at all of this, i have to be my best at this. every great night's sleep starts with natural. >> new, natural sleep. >> and restore. >> for your ultimate. restorative sleep. >> three take my hand and come with me. because you look so fine that i really want to make you. >> mine are you gonna. be my girl?

4:31 am
after that, should, you know, those strikes come to fruition and we're told that military assets in the middle east, across the region and have been moved in anticipation of potential iranian retaliation should donald trump ultimately give that go order. obviously, we know that donald trump has said that he's going to make a decision on that move in the next two weeks, but the military is not waiting on the decision to making sure that it protects and takes steps to protect its assets across the middle east. that includes moving airplanes that it can't protect in a shelter at its military base in qatar. they've moved those planes to a different location. they've also moved naval assets from its base in bahrain, which is also obviously in the relative proximity of certain iranian proxy forces that we know have the capability of launching drones and ballistic missiles at u.s. forces. you may remember in january 2024, an iranian proxy group killed three u.s. service members at a u.s. base on the border of syria and iraq. so that threat is very real. and these changes reflect
4:32 am
how seriously the pentagon is taking iran's threat to target u.s. forces. if donald trump does strike iranian nuclear sites. >> yeah. great reporting from you, zach cohen. thank you so much. on the preparations being made right now by the military, john. >> overnight, the israeli military says more than 60 of its fighter jets attacked iranian missile production sites and a nuclear research research facility in tehran. israeli officials say at least six people were hurt when an iranian missile struck office buildings in a technology park housing multiple companies, including microsoft and the un's international atomic energy agency, confirms that key buildings at iraq's iran's arak nuclear facility were damaged in an israeli strike. that facility's reactor is not operational and does not contain nuclear material. let's go to israel now. the northern port city of haifa. our nic robertson is standing by there, and nic haifa has been targeted since this conflict began. what are you seeing on the ground there this morning? >> yeah. very interesting last
4:33 am
night, john. it was the first night in the space of a week that people of haifa actually had a whole night sleep, and that is because the sirens didn't go off. there were no strikes here. there were strikes in the day yesterday. the place where there were strikes back in the south, in beer sheva, very close to that hospital, as you were saying, a technology park, residential apartment buildings around there as well, 54 people were hospitalized, many of them for light injuries. following that strike. but by and large, across israel last night, a quiet tonight at night and i've been talking to people here in haifa today about their expectations. now, president trump has said his sort of on a two week pause to make his decision about whether or not to militarily support israel and its strikes against iran's nuclear infrastructure. so the question people are asking me is, well, is that going to be two weeks of peace? and sleep full nights, or is it going to be two weeks of continued counter strikes between the two
4:34 am
countries? and the concern, of course, underlying all this is that whenever israel has been in a tight spot in the past, in whatever conflict with with hezbollah or whatever it is, the united states has been 100% at its side, so that question sort of rises up today with people. is the united states still at our side, as it has been previously, or is it drifting away? but they say regardless, they're resilient and they'll continue community strong and and do what it do what they're capable of doing militarily. and iran. >> nic robertson for us in haifa this morning. a quiet night, a rare quiet night over the last week in haifa. thank you so much for being there inside iran overnight, a cnn team, the cnn team there, the first western journalists inside iran witnessed a jump in anti-aircraft fire over tehran's skies. cnn's senior international correspondent fred pleitgen and his team, they are there
4:35 am
so what we've been hearing tonight is really an increase in aerial activity over the skies of tehran. >> there's been a lot of outgoing anti-aircraft fire seemingly coming from iranian anti-aircraft guns. we've seen in the skies the sort of burst of those munitions exploding in the skies. it's unclear what the air defense forces here are firing at, whether or not there's drones or planes or something else that they're trying to intercept. we're also hearing quite a few thuds that seem to be coming from the ground, or could also be from that outgoing anti-aircraft fire, or even from outgoing anti-aircraft missiles. but it is definitely something that we're noticing. there's a lot of noise tonight over tehran. it's unclear whether or not that means that there's a big attack going on, but if we listen, we can hear the fire coming out. so you can see those are the things that we've been
4:36 am
hearing. those are the things that we've been seeing as this evening has been progressing. there certainly is a lot going on in the skies over tehran. fred pleitgen, cnn, tehran with us now, cnn senior military analyst admiral james stavridis, former nato supreme allied commander and partner of the carlyle group. >> admiral. great to see you. obviously, fred, down here in iran right now, but the future of the conflict in that country may be being decided here in switzerland, in geneva, where there's diplomatic meetings are taking place. we heard president trump say he's going to give up to two weeks to decide whether the united states will get involved in this, though. you see, the possibility of maybe trying to lull iran into complacency. what do you mean as an. >> operator. >> as someone. >> who's been a combatant commander of the united states. the first thing i think is, could this possibly be a ruse of some. >> kind.
4:37 am
>> to kind of, as you. >> say, john, lull the iranians into. >> a false sense of security? i, for one, noted. >> the president. >> didn't say, i'll make a decision. after two weeks. he said within two weeks. to me, that's keeping open the possibility. so point one, could this be a way to sort of soothe the iranians and make them feel not as jumpy? although what we just saw from fred pleitgen shows those gunners are quite concerned about incoming. secondly, as an operator, john, i kind of think two weeks at an operational pause, if you will. but believe me, the pentagon is not pausing. they're using it, as you heard a few moments ago, to put in place the defensive mechanisms, because if we do strike, we can be, i think, assured of iranian response. and third and and most hopefully it does open a window for diplomacy. let's hope that something that comes out of
4:38 am
geneva, for example, could take advantage of these two weeks. so there's several different ways you can look at this operational pause. >> and of course, as we just heard from nic robertson in haifa, and we heard from fred pleitgen in tehran, the conflict between iran and israel isn't letting up in these two weeks. if it is, in fact, two weeks. obviously, you know, we've seen all the activity over tehran, the bombs, the missiles falling here. what can israel do in this time without u.s. involvement, if it wants to try to end this altogether? >> if they go after their their stated principal objective of taking out the nuclear program of iran completely, as we've all talked about endlessly for a week, without that big bunker busting bomb, they really have far less of a chance of doing that. could they put a battalion
4:39 am
of commandos on the ground and take it out? perhaps. could they hit it with multiple repeated 4,000 pound bombs, which they have? they could, but they don't really have the option to to cleanly take out that massive centrifuge hall. what they are doing. and i think it's a smart move if you're israeli. what's really hurting them right now, john, it's those ballistic missiles. so the israelis are taking out as many of the ballistic missiles on the ground as they can. and more importantly, i think taking out the production facilities, sort of shooting the archer before the archer can let fly with that ballistic missile. >> again, this is a picture, a still photo of fordow, which is that nuclear enrichment facility you were talking about there. believe that only us, the so-called bunker buster bombs, the only thing that can penetrate the 200, 300ft into this area. and under this mountain where the centrifuges might be. you did talk about
4:40 am
what the iranians are doing inside israel right now, and there have been continued strikes. and we just saw haifa and we saw down in beer sheva, down in the south, where there have been strikes there. if the iranians do the iranians in these next two weeks have the capacity to replenish their missile supply or maybe get missiles externally, whether it be, i don't know, from russia, from china the current answer is they still have production facilities. >> some of those are underground. and yes, there's a slim possibility, although i think it quite unlikely that russia, or particularly russia might step in to provide at least some components to construct further ballistic missiles. but i think their inventory of those weapons are dwindling. one thing to remember, as americans, we read a headline. so far, 25 israelis have been tragically killed by
4:41 am
these ballistic missiles. kind of do the math, john. proportionally, israel is only 1/35 the size of the united states. so 25 killed is like a thousand americans killed so far. pretty sobering for our israeli friends. >> and as these talks continue, admiral, in geneva, in your mind, what is it that iran could offer? what could they put on the table? not necessarily that the united states would accept, but that israel would accept. >> you're on to a very important point, which is this. we tend to think of this scenario as being a triangle, right? it's israel, it's iran, and it's the united states. there are many, many other actors who are watching this closely, who have big equities. i'd say we need to think of it less as a triangle and maybe more as a pentagon. and i don't
4:42 am
mean that building where i spent way too much of my life. what i mean by a pentagon is, yes, us, israel, iran, another point of that pentagon is the european union. they have enormous economic equities. iranian missiles can strike members of the eu. so eu has a big vote on this. ultimately. and i think the fifth point, you alluded to it a moment ago is russia and china, both of whom regard iran as a strong partner, economic partner in the case of china, military partner in the case of russia. it's really a pentagon. if we're going to avoid a war, it's going to take more than just the u.s. here. i think we'll see a bit of that start to emerge from these talks in geneva. >> yeah. you know, we have matthew chance standing by right outside the residence where these talks will take place. we're looking for any sign of activity. there. obviously, charting all the developments.
4:43 am
admiral james stavridis, great to have you on this morning. thank you very much, sarah. >> all right. joining me now, democratic congresswoman of michigan debbie dingell. thank you so much for being here with us this morning. first, when it comes to iran and israel, are you glad that the president is taking a step back and giving up to a two week period to decide whether or not to strike iran? >> i certainly. >> was relieved to hear that news. >> i believe. >> that we should be. >> using, first all diplomatic. >> efforts. >> i do. >> not want to see the united. >> states engaged. >> in a. >> another war. >> if we can avoid it. though i understand the seriousness of iran having nuclear capability. but beyond that, i do believe we. establish this during the vietnam war, that congress has a responsibility. we are the ones that should authorize war. and i think when we return next week, that we you will see legislation
4:44 am
on that, that people will try to move forward and that this administration must brief congress on what is happening. >> you're talking about the administration briefing congress. we've spoken to several congresspeople who said they have not been briefed as they would have been in the past. would you sign on to or vote for a bill that's being worked on by two of your colleagues, a republican and a democrat, that would force the president to come to congress in order to go ahead and and take part in this war between israel and iran. >> i would likely i think the bill is broader. i have not read it. i have asked my staff yesterday was a holiday to read it this morning and will likely sign on to it today. i think it is a broader bill that says congress is the one that should authorize war. so i do believe that the president has to talk to the congress. >> what is your greatest concern? about entering this war
4:45 am
about the u.s. using its military here? when you have israel saying, look, their initial stated goal was to take out the iran's nuclear facilities, but then you heard also from the prime minister and the defense minister that they are thinking of taking out the supreme leader of iran and that they're talking about trying to create regime change there as well. what's your concern? >> i have a lot of questions that don't have answers. i think that all of us republicans and democrats, as americans, should, we don't go into war in a partisan way. i would like to remind you of a republican senator from michigan decades ago who said that partisan politics should stop at the ocean's edge. we need to see what our intelligence is. but quite frankly, this country does not need another extended war to be engaged or part of something
4:46 am
in the mideast. but we do need to keep ourselves and others safe. so we need to be evaluating the data. they need to be talking to us. and i do believe it is congress that actually should be declaring wars. that was passed after during the vietnam war. actually, i believe and i think that you're going to see serious discussions of that as we return next week. >> i'm now going to move to to some domestic issues. you were on the list of potential targets by the suspect who murdered a minnesota legislator. hartman and her husband, and shot and badly injured minnesota senator and his wife. first. what does this do to your sense of safety? and are you experiencing more threats in general by the public? >> you know, my last few years, i live in an in a college town, but i also have a very significant arab american muslim population, a very significant jewish population. and the
4:47 am
university of michigan campus. so the last couple of years i've have been intense, and i meet with all of the groups i have. i don't know when someone's going to come up and start screaming, or there might be a protest. and i have approached those trying to be common sense. don't run away from them, and concerned that nobody get hurt. i think that what happened this past weekend was different from what we have even seen there, but quite frankly, terrorists, whether they be domestic or foreign, are trying to terrorize us. so we all need to use common sense. i quite frankly, don't think we have enough information yet, even though we know how horrific it was, what was in that car, what it meant, or other people involved. you worry about copycats. i am very, very lucky that i have wonderful, supportive law enforcement in my community. i know every one of
4:48 am
my police chiefs. i know my sheriff, the guys and women have been incredible. so i did two town hall meetings this week. i've done multiple roundtables. i was at a major event with thousands of people downtown in my home city, and i am able to go on. but there are a lot of people that don't have that kind of support. they're worried. and i want to say this to all of us. we have got to. it's not one party's responsibility. it is all of our parties. it is all of us, each and one of us and the media and people in the community and the kids in schools to lower the tone, dial down the rhetoric, dial down the vitriol. this division in our country, this politics of hate, this normalizing of violence is unacceptable. and one person is not going to change it. we all have to change it. representative government is representative of the people. what you're seeing in this violent crime is happening in too many communities, and we've
4:49 am
got to dial it down. >> congresswoman debbie dingell, we're going to leave it there. thank you so much for being here and talking us through all of that. appreciate you. all right. high prices, high interest rates. and now a new hurdle for first time home homeowners who say they will never sell. and tomatoes, wine and an a-list celebrity. john sitting down with eva longoria ahead of a brand new episode of cnn's searching for spain. >> i'm elizabeth wagmeister. >> covering the diddy trial in new york. >> this is cnn. look out! cause here. >> i have. >> you always had trouble. >> with your weight? >> me too. >> discover the power of wegovy. with wegovy. >> i lost. 35 pounds. >> and some. >> lost over. >> 46 pounds. >> and i'm keeping. >> the weight. >> off. >> i'm reducing. >> my risk. >> wegovy is the only weight management medicine proven to reduce risk of major

4:54 am
market. not so. okay, boomer there. this is on top of news this week that home building fell to the lowest level since covid. cnn's matt egan is here with us. so so what did the baby boomers do to us this time? >> well. >> john, look, a lot of them are staying put and can't really blame. >> them. >> given how expensive it is right now to buy and to borrow. but this new survey from redfin really puts an exclamation point on this. it finds that 1 in 3 baby boomer homeowners say they will never sell, never. another 30% say they will sell, but not for at least a decade. so that's almost two thirds of baby boomers whose homes are unlikely to hit the market anytime soon. when you think about it, that is a significant amount of supply that is essentially frozen in place. and as far as why this is happening, well, a lot of them, 55% who say they're not going to sell anytime soon, they say it's because they like their home. they've got no reason to move. another 30% say it's because
4:55 am
almost paid off. and that makes a lot of sense. if you've already paid off your mortgage, why would you go out in a market where the mortgage rates are now almost 7%? but no matter the reason here, this is frustrating, obviously, to a lot of younger people who feel like the american dream of home ownership is just out of reach. it's also an issue for people who own a home, but they want to upgrade, but they can't because there's not enough inventory. and so this does speak to this broader imbalance between supply and demand. and we did get those new numbers that you mentioned earlier this week, home building in the u.s., plunging in may to a five year low to the lowest level since covid 19 in may of 2020. you look listen, obviously there was this crash during covid because of the health crisis. there was a rebound, but it's so much lower. some of this is a broader long term issue, right? a lot of home builders say there's just too much red tape. there's also
4:56 am
more recent issues. right. interest rates, they're really high. there's a lot of uncertainty right now. there's also tariffs that are making it more expensive to borrow. and the immigration crackdown can make it harder to get labor. but look it is a friday. so let me give you leave with one positive point here. at least for homebuyers, it's the fact that redfin finds that home sellers right now outnumber buyers by about 500,000. and so that is encouraging. if you're out there trying to look for a home, it does suggest that perhaps home prices could dip a little bit, or at least to put a lid on home prices. but look, it is still a really tough market. >> might be more of a buying opportunity right now than there's been, but who knows how long it will last. matt egan great to see you. thank you very much, sarah. >> all right. on our radar for you this morning. singer chris brown pleads not guilty in a london court to attacking a music producer two years ago, the victim told the sun that brown beat him so badly he was hospitalized. he says the attack
4:57 am
was unprovoked. this isn't the first time brown has been in court on assault charges. in 2009, he was sentenced to probation and community service for assaulting fellow singer rihanna, his girlfriend at the time. now, this morning, hurricane eric has now weakened to a tropical storm after slamming into mexico's southern pacific coast as a category three hurricane. it has unleashed heavy rain and flooding landslides. you see some of the downed trees and the widespread damage there. the authorities are still assessing whether or not anyone has been injured or killed from this storm. and a very brave nine year old girl speaking out after a shark bit her while she was snorkeling in florida. her hand was almost bitten completely off. >> i didn't see anything. i was just snorkeling. then i went up to breathe and then something hard bit me. i heard. >> like this. yell or scream and i saw like the fling of the arm. >> so it was a big shark, like
4:58 am
eight feet. i would say like eight feet. >> now, you heard that construction worker there he was working in inside a nearby house. he jumped into action, rushed to help rescue leah in the water. she was airlifted to a tampa hospital where surgeons were able to save her hand. you see the bite there? my god. but they were able to reattach it. doctors say they expect leah to regain full use of her hand, and when asked if she would go back into the water, leah didn't hesitate. she said yes, john, that's bravery. because for me, just hearing the story makes me think twice about wanting to go into the ocean. >> i don't know. so brave. good for her. i have to say that x ray really. freaky though, seeing that x man. all right. this sunday. eva longoria is back with a brand new episode of the cnn original series searching for spain. i'm not sure you knew this, but i did sit down with her. had a nice meal to talk with her about. spain's rise on the world's culinary stage and the place she considers one of the most
4:59 am
beautiful on earth. >> the interesting thing. about the show. >> in general was. the history of ingredients and how they arrived in spain, or how they were endemic to spain, or how they left spain. the tomato being one of them. you know, for gazpacho being so famous and tomato being so famous in spain, the tomato is not endemic to spain. it came from mexico. so to see the tomato have such a life, you know, in a country that it wasn't native to, but they ended up cultivating it. same thing with the potato. the potato came from peru, and the incas used to cultivate it. somebody took the potato back, and it's a huge part of spanish cuisine. the thing that did not make it back was the chili. so spain has no spicy food. they do not like spice. they like flavor. they don't like the burn. >> you know, flavor doesn't have to be painful. >> that's the. >> lesson there. >> yeah. >> it doesn't have. >> to hurt. i disagree, but no no no no. but i love spicy food. i love spicy food. so when i'm in spain i'm like, this is so interesting. they use very minimal spices.
5:00 am
>> but they have the flavors are distinct and powerful. >> are amazing. and you know, i live in marbella and there's a whole episode about marbella. it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. but the cuisine there is so amazing. talk about mary montana, you know, surf and turf. if you will. they have amazing cuisine from the mountains. they have a with goat that is a specific species of goat that is only found in the south of spain. and then you have a cheetah, which is a little restaurant on the beach, and you can have fresh fish that they just cook right there on the, on the fire, and they serve it to you, and you just have the most amazing meal looking at the sunset on the beach. marbella is magical. but let me tell you, it was so fun to be able to travel through spain and eat and drink my way through these stories. >> does sound pretty awesome, right? be sure to tune in back to back episodes of eve longoria searching for spain airs sunday night at 9 p.m.
