alex: yes. brent: what do you expect, i ask you and charlotte this, what do you expect boris johnson to do tomorrow morning? alex: i think he will go out to the steps of downing street tonight and say "i have secured victory. we need to put this behind us. i have listened to the mps. we are going forward. forget it," that is what people will do. he is bullish. brent: charlotte, what is your prediction? i am sure both johnson never thought he would hear someone say "you look worse than theresa may tonight,." reporter: no, indeed, and i am sure there will be very painful for boris johnson. but that's what alex said, what people try to do in the coming days and weeks is essentially say that this vote has drawn a line underneath the scandal that has been dogging him over the last month that it is now time to move on. at darlie, he will say that the time now is to focus on the other priorities that are facing this country at the moment. brent: charlotte, one more question before we run out of time we

he's everybody knows who alex jones is correct if you okay. yeah, which wasn't the case actually right like seven years ago people didn't you know, this entire room would be like, i don't know coming up empty. yeah. i i it's hard to exactly he is conspiratorial by sure, i you know one of one of his employees told me it doesn't really matter if alex jones believes what he says it matters that his listeners do and you know, there were millions of them and they were willing to defend those false beliefs with violence and he was operating on the fringes of media at the time and i remember interviewing i was perfect. i was completely struck by it, but i oddly enough had ralph reed at one of my early code conferences. i was right noticing that the right wing was doing rather. well, yeah online and it was because they had been zeroed out of other media and so here they found a very fertile ground to get their information, but talk radio was another area but which was jones which was jones but but alternative media was what they were looking for in so

yes, so alex jones. we love this part out of our narrative was a regular on our tea so he would get up. this is russia today. yeah, russia today kremlin funded state tv. he would get up in the middle of the night, you know, his ex-wife told me clamber out of bed, you know ready to go on our tea at all hours. he was eager to expand his platform by whatever means necessary. he's been a putin fan and apologist from the start. he admires that and i actually think and you know, paul and i have talked about this. when i was a reporter in eastern europe, it was you know, even then not terribly long ago. it would have taken a pretty sophisticated foreign adversary like russia to sew the kind of disinformation that we are doing ourselves and if we're worried about russia interfering in our next election, don't worry about it because we've already done it and we'll do it again, right? so it's ours. it's not where these groups in this country. yeah, but was he funded now, but talk about bots one, you know, i asked

about alex jones asked him, you know. i bet it before you even sat down with him before they were even recording said you're going to take down this material you are going to take down alex jones. yes. i did it you're going to do platform it i said three weeks. yeah deep platform and he was like, no. he said no. he said that's ridiculous. i'm not and i said, oh no you are and he goes, he's essentially said who's gonna make me and i'm like me. yeah, so you brought it up in the end. i brought it up right away. yeah and thinking that he would avoid that question of the the thorny question about alex jones nice segway right over to the holocaust. yes, and unfortunately yeah being basically oh, those people are just mistaken. no. he said they don't mean to lie. yeah, and i felt it was a definition of a holocaust denial that they actually mean to lie and malevolently. yeah, and so what happened in that case and i want you to react to this is yeah, i wasn't surprised by what he did what they did facebook did was when he moved fr

>> it's hard to know i struggle with trying who is alex jones? and what everyone knows who alex jones is correct? which was not the case. seven years ago this entire room would be i don't know who is that? what is hard to exactly. he is conspiratorial by nature. one of his employees told me it doesn't really matter alex jones believes what he says. it matters what his listeners do. there were millions of them. they were willing to defend that withri violence. he's offering fringes of me get thee time. i was completely struck by the end of early conferences i was noticing the right going with dragon rather well online. it was because i didn't zero of other media. here they found a very fertile ground to get -- backtalk radios in the area. which was jones. alternative meat is what they were looking for. some factory the word out undercover. >> is i like to listen to alex jones run drug between clients he represented to the other side of information that was before alex jones got abducted. what did he like about it? works to him as an intellectual e

alex! alex! alex. >> >> reporter: pamela, once we started digging into this story we were stunned by something else, the staggering amount of money that alex jones makes, how easy it is to apparently fool people to buy products that he sells mostly from fear, and what is frightening is how many people believe these lies and now consider alex jones a trustworthy source of information. pamela? >> yeah, literally profiting off of fear, preying on that. drew griffin, thank you, and you can watch that "special report, megaphone for conspiracy, alex jones" coming up in a few minutes at 8:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. >>> well, a massive heat wave has 110 million americans dealing with heat alerts right now. you may be one of them. meteorologist karen mcginnis joins me with the very latest coming up next here in the cnn newsroom. which are ♪ three times the electorlytes and half the sugar. ♪ pedialyte powder packs. feel better fast. ♪ ♪ women have to overcome more obstacles to reach t

>> alex, incredibly frightening. basically what we know at this point from police is those 31 suspected white nationalist, and as you said, packed into the back of a u-haul. carrying what's police called paperwork which was similar to an operations plan that a police or military group would have. in short, as you said, police in the small idaho town believe this group came to the pride festival to riot. >> pulled from a utah by idaho police with masks on their faces and slogans like reclaim america on their shirts. >> these guys stopped a u-haul full of dudes, maxed up -- >> authorities day 31 suspected white supremacist were lined up, zip tied, and charge saturday for conspiracy to riot. police reportedly pulling the group over blocks from a gay pride festival this after a citizen saw how they were dressed in call 9-1-1. >> they had shields, she'll girls, other right gear with them including at least one smoke remained they came to riot downtown. >> the police chief noting the groups seem to be members of patriots f

>> okay, alex. it's a midterm election so we know very probably that the republicans will do reasonably well to very well depending on where those conditions are, in the fall. there have been 19 midterm elections as well. the out of power party, out of power in the white house, has won 17 of the 19 of those elections. and the odds are that republicans will certainly take over the house they only have to gain five seats. democrats will need a pocketful of miracles to turn that around. with all due respect to them. democratic officials are trying to avoid news miracles. the senate is always different, because with a group of senate -- you have to look at the individual races with individual circumstances and individual personalities. we have some odd senate candidates running this november. so you don't want to be too quick in calling the senate. we will have to watch certain states. and you have got them right up there. certain states are absolutely critical. -- being the obvious one. but also nevada

he gestures like alex does, and i recognized alex's voice. it's very drich. we told him he needed to be a broadcaster of some kind. i feel 99.9% sure it's alex, but we're waiting for the state department to confirm it. >> i know you have been speaking to the state department daily and i know you spoke with them today. do you have any idea when they think is video was taken or of where your son could be? >> if so, they have not shared that information with us. all they said was that they expected to verify that it's authenticity soon. >> soon, of course, and you as his mother, you hear him and you know. so let me ask you about where they are as the state department though, i know yesterday, they said they had not reached out to russian officials. the u.s. department said this and they said they didn't do it because they didn't have a quote, credible reason to believe that alex is in russian custody. so have you gotten any update on that and do you feel that the u.s. government is trying to get your son back? >> oh, i have every confidence that the u.s. governm

>> those gas prices alex. the rnc pointing out that the gas price on average right now is double what it was on the day president biden took office in 2020. now, as far as president boyden's approach to this, he's trying to do something that is very difficult, which is to convince americans that the economy is actually doing better. polls show most americans actually feels like it is right. now the president using those jobs to say the fundamental of the economy are strong. and to play down the prospect of a recession, even at some outside recognizance are saying that is now likely, if not inevitable. at the same time the president's cheerleading the economy, he's also trying to do something that might seem contradictory. he's assuring americans that essentially he gets. the white house is not ignorant to the real economic challenges that americans are feeling right now, especially when it comes to gas prices and other goods. here's of the president tried to strike the balance between those two priorities. >>

>> we are not seeing that here, alex. we wanted to come into this farmers market, because this is where a lot of inflation comes home to roost. they are looking at high prices for everything from fuel to the cardboard boxes. which they sell their crops in. it is everything in short supply. this is the overall inflation picture the last report as of april. more figures this coming friday. but as you see, overall, 8%, because of 9%. and the big drivers energy prices, which are up more than 30%. and that continues to be a big picture for growers like patricia rodriguez. sugars organic berries not far from here. she says that her costs for everything are up in the neighborhood of 30%. and she has no choice but to pass that on to consumers. >> we have been in business for almost 30 years. and we have ups and downs, good and bad years. but this is something new and very different. and the, increase i think, is just much more than we have ever seen before. and the challenges we are facing. it started with covid. now we have this

alex all yours all right. so when you have a debate like this particularly involving a respected climate scientist, which professor destler is, i think the usual assumption is that there's going to be a big differences over climate science. and for the most part, i think that's not true. i think the key difference here between not just me and professor destler, but between me and the whole net zero movement is methodology. my background is philosophy. i think a lot about methodology and i have a very particular methodology for thinking about this issue. i don't know where to point this. and what's interesting about this methodology is nobody has ever disagreed with this methodology and yet i've never met one opponent of fossil fuels who even remotely follows it. so let me just explain it. there are four key factors. we have to consider when thinking about fossil fuels and climate we need to think about the harms of rising co2. we need to think about the benefits of rising co2. we need to think about what i cal

>> yes, alex. well first off, just to mention that police mentioned at the top there, that poll mentions the more than a third of americans are paying attention to these hearings. the committee members are really all over the sunday show this morning, really teasing what to expect from the committees fourth and fifth hearings, slated for this week, that they hope more americans will pay attention to. listen here. >> we will show evidence of the presidents involvement in this game, and we'll also again show evidence about what's his own lawyers came to think about this game. and we'll show courageous state officials who stood up and said they would not go along with this plan to either call the interest back into session, or decertify the results for joe biden. >> we know things this weekend we did not know last weekend. >> and things that are going to be important facts that we did not need to know? >> as you heard the congressman lay out there, tuesday's hearings will focus on trump's pressure cam

alex has written all this energy points talking points. he wrote this month in "rolling stone" the amount of warming in the world on will transform our planet and an unimaginable way. someone like me who is not an energy expert looked at both ofk those and thought what if he's right. it which case o instead of bearg no expense in your attempt to curb climate change should we try and can we? to me asking her first. >> certainly we have to adapt to climate change. people need to realize adaptation is not magic.ok people say we will use fossil fuels to master the climate. it will give you an example. houston almost got wiped out by hurricane ike an l.a. to thousands. we were proposing to build the virtually saying you'll be wiped out without the sometime thisil century.ou compared to the price of houston -- but they can get the money. it's extremely expensive to adapt and certainly have to adapt to what we can avoid that we can avoid with low-cost global warming and if you avoided more cheaply you should do that. >> i've been disappointed by

>> i, alex. these new details really give us important insight into why there was so much chaos on the ground that day, and why it took upwards of an hour for them to actually get confronted with the gunman. what really stood out to me, particularly from the tribune a reporting, was that pete arredondo, the police chief of the schools in uvalde, said that he was not aware that he was the incident commander. he was not aware that he was in charge. he managed that he left the radio behind it because he needed two hands to handle this firearm. he described the praying as he is trying key after key struggling to find the key to get into the classroom. law enforcement security experts say that this would be highly unusual for a police chief of a school district to not have a key to every single classroom and closet in the school district that they are responsible for. they could not know that they are in charge in an incident like this. while the answers that he has given, the defense for his actions

what would your appeal to them be about alex? >> my appeal would be that alex and andy are p.o.w.s. they are prisoners of war, even if they were with this ukrainian unit as third country volunteers. and as such they should be treated that way. the russians and their surrogates should afford them the humane treatment and the protections that are due to prisoners of war. >> well, listen, i hope they're listening. please know that our hearts go out to you. we know you're going through a lot here and we hope that alex gets home safely. >> we really appreciate that. and we ask everyone to call their senators and representatives, thank them for the government's involvement so far, and ask them to please stay the course. >> diana shaw, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> great interview with her. >>> still ahead, at 10:00 a.m., so just less than 30 minutes away, the supreme court will hand down decisions, several key cases remain this term, one of those on the right to abortion. up next, we take a closer look at the reality in oklahoma, which has the stricti est abortn ban in the country. dry
