in our politics, corrode over the last decade. and i thought she was smart about kind of setting that up as the changed dynamic while also saying joe biden has served honorably. i've been proud to serve with him. he's a man of character. i think she did a good job not looking like she was in a moment of political opportunity going to walk away from somebody who look, i was there, i saw them they had a really productive governing partnership and anna good friendship. and so i think that that shone through, i think when voters watched interviews like this, they're also trying to glean who is this person and so i think what she did was demonstrate that she is a person of integrity and character who is not going to throw joe biden over the high side in a moment of political opportunism. so i thought she actually handled that quite definitely. >> i suppose brad as a grades, but i die. would you take you disagree. i've sure will say thank you guys so much for joining me. i want to thank you for watching us as well. i'm on rodgers cnn news central starts right now cnn has exclusive

interview with vice president kamala harris and governor tim walz fracking, reproductive rights. >> israel, the economy weighing in on all the issues with just 67 days to go until the election this morning, j.d. >> vance that's respond. we talked with the running mate of former president trump, right here on cnn news central and it is the start of the labor day holiday weekend. you can expect huge lines at the airport but also some much lower gas prices as you hit the road i'm rahel solomon with john berman, kate and sara are out this cnn news all right. >> new this morning, the big takeaway swoop in with the camera. the big takeaways from

vice president kamal harris in her first interview, in her historic presidential bid, harris mr. just 40 days ago really took over the ticket sat with her running mate and for 27 minutes, defended and defined her run to cnn's dana bash and the world if you are elected, what would you do on day one in the white house well, there are a number of things i will tell you first and foremost. >> one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class when i look at the aspirations, the goals, the ambitions of the american people, i think that people are ready for a new way forward in a way that generations of americans have been fueled by hope and by optimism i think sadly in the last decade we have had in the

former president's someone who is really been pushing an agenda and in an environment that is about diminishing the character and the strength of who we are as americans really dividing our nation. and i think people are ready to turn the page on that day one, it's going to be about one implementing my plan for what i call an opportunity economy. i've already laid out a number of proposals in that regard. >> which include what we're going to do to bring down the cost of everyday goods, where we're going to do to invest in america's small businesses. >> what we're gonna do to invest in families. >> so you have been vice president for three-and-a-half years the steps that you're talking about now, why haven't you done them already? >> well, first of all, we had to recover as an economy and we have done that. i'm very proud of the work that we have done that has brought inflation down to less than 3%. the work that we have done to cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors donald trump said he

was going to do a number of things, including allowing medicare to negotiate drug prices, never happened. we did it when we do what we have done to invest in the american people and bringing manufacturing back to the united states. so that we created over 800,000 new manufacturing jobs, bringing business back to america what we have done to improve the supply chain. so we're not relying on foreign governments to supply american families with their basic needs. i'll say that that's good work. there's more to do, but that's good work. >> and donald trump and republicans also came up a lot last night, including three standout moments. the first of which was her answer on immigration and the record surge of border crossings under the biden-harris administration's watch joe biden and i and our administration worked with members of the united states congress on an immigration issue that is very significant to the american people and to

our security, which is the border and through bipartisan work, including some of the most conservative members of the united states congress. >> a bill was crafted, which we supported, which i support donald trump vowed word of this bill that would have contributed to securing our border. and because he believes that it would not have helped him politically he told his folks in congress, don't put it forward. he killed the bill a border security bill that would have put 1,500 more agents on the border. >> so you would push that legislation again. i just want to ask you push it. >> i will make sure that it comes to my desk and i would sign it. >> you had a lot of republican speakers at the convention. will you appoint a republican to your cabinet? >> yes, i would end it was no one no one in particular mind. i got we got 68 days to go at this election. so i'm not putting the cart before the horse, but i would i think i

think it's really important. i i have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. i think it's important to have people at the table and when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences and i think it would be to the benefit of the american public to have a member of my cabinet. it was a republican. >> i want to ask you about your opponent, donald trump i was a little bit surprised. people might be surprised to hear that you have never interacted with him, met him face-to-face? that's going to change soon. but what i want to ask you about is what he said last month, he suggested that you happened to turn black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity any same old, tired playbook next question, please know. that's it and for the first time we also heard the vice president described the

moment that president biden told her he was stepping aside the election when he called you and said he was pulling out of the race what was that like? >> and did he offer to endorse you right away or did you ask for it? >> it was it was a sunday, so i'll give you a little too much information. go for it. >> there's no such thing that vice president, my family was staying with us and including my baby nieces and we had just had pancakes and, antique. can i have more bacon? yes, i'll make you more bacon and then we were going to sit we were sitting down to do a puzzle and the phone rang and it was joe biden and he told me what he had decided to do and i asked him, are you sure and they said

yes. >> and but that's how i learned about it. >> what about the endorsem*nt? did you ask for it he was very clear that he was going to support my son when he called to tell you, he said, i'm pulling out of the race and i'm going to support you well, my first thought was not about me to be honest with you. >> my first thought was about him to be honest i think history is going to show a number of things about joe biden's presidency i think history is going to show that in so many ways it was transformative and we will have much more of this exclusive interview. >> governor tim walz responding to criticism of his military career and more and you can expect record-breaking numbers for holiday travel this labor day weekend but the gas prices that might shock you in a good way in the moment floodwaters rushed into a library destroying its historic

described your service and the national guard that you said that you carried weapons in war, but never deployed actually in a war zone. a campaign official said that you misspoke to do. >> well, first of all, i'm incredibly proud to have done 24 years of wearing uniform of this country. equally proud of my service in a public school classroom, whether it's congress or the governor my record speaks for itself, but i think people are coming to get to know me. i speak like they do i speak candidly. i wear my emotions on my sleeves and i speak especially passionately about about our children being shot in schools and around, around guns. so i think people know me, they know who i am, they know where where my heart is. and again, my record has been out there for over 40 years to be for itself and the idea that you said that you were in war, did you misspeak as the campaign has said, i said we were talking about in this case, this was after a school shooting, the ideas of carrying these weapons of war. >> and my wife, the english

teacher, told my grammar is not always correct, but again, if it's not this as an attack on my children for showing love for me or it's an attack on my dog. i'm not going to do that. and the one thing i'll never do is i'll never demean and other members service in any way. i never have. and i never will you had to clarify that you had said that you and your wife used ivf, but it turned out you used a different kind of fertility in order to have children. >> and then when you ran for congress in 2006, your campaign repeatedly made false statements about 1995 arrest for drunk and reckless driving what do you say to voters who aren't sure whether they can take you at your word. >> well, i've been very public. i think they can see my students come out. former folks. i've served with and they do they both trump and certainly own my mistakes when i make them the one thing i'll tell you is i wished in this country wouldn't have to do this. i spoke about our infertility issues because it's held in families know

this, and i spoke about the treatments that were able to us that had those beautiful children there. that's quite a contrast. and folks that are trying to to take those rights away from us. and so i think people know who i am. they know that record. they've seen that i've taught thousands of students. i've been out there and i won't apologize for peaking passionately, whether it's guns in schools or protecting reproductive rights. the contrast could not be clear between what we're running against vice president's position on this has been clear and i think most americans get it if you've been through that, i don't think they're cutting harris on ivf or iuie. i think they're cutting harris on an abortion ban and the ability to be able to deny families the chance to have a beautiful child walz was also asked about this iconic moment during the democratic national convention with his son gus governor a moment that you shared the world, shared with your son gus you were speaking the cameras

caught him. so incredibly proud of you, so emotional saying that's my dad yeah, i i don't know as a father, i could have ever imagined that i grateful for so many reasons to be on this ticket, but that moment i want to understand what was really important to have my son feel a sense of pride in me that i was trying to do the right thing and it was you try and protect your kids, you know, get brings it brings notoriety and think that it was just such a visceral emotional moment that i'm just i'm grateful i got to experience it and i'm so proud of him. >> i'm proud of him. i'm proud of. i'm proud of gwen. she's a wonderful mother and these are great kids and i think the one thing is talking about the arrow or in his, or our politics can be better. it can be different. we can we can show some of these things and we can have families involved in this. and i hope that there was a hope people felt that out there and i hope they hug their kids a little tighter because you just never know and life can be kind of hard and of

[laughs] a home router should never be a home wrecker. oo this is a good book title. $19 monday night to two-hour

whole story special, the candidates and their record on the key issues of the election season what does their past tell us about how they will lead the whole story with anderson cooper monday starting at 8:00 on cnn. and rafael romo at the georgia state capitol in atlanta. this is cnn breaking overnight attorneys for donald trump as a federal court to take over his new york hush money case. >> and lay the upcoming sentencing. cnn's correspondent zach cohen is with us now. what's going on here? zach yeah, john don trump is looking to establish and other pathway to get his conviction in the new york hush money case overturned. >> and also indefinitely delay sentencing in that case, it's scheduled for next month. now, like you said, he's asking a federal court to take this case from the state court level and he's also asking the federal court to confirm that if they do take the case, will that indefinitely delay sentencing in the state court level until the matter is resolved. now, look, this argue they're arguing that the prosecution in

new york conflict with the u.s. supreme court's recent decision on presidential immunity. specifically, that prosecutors presented evidenced that qualify as evidenced related to donald trump's official acts to remember that was the distinction the u.s. supreme court said that donald trump enjoyed immunity for prosecution for i'm going to read a little bit of this filing by trump's legal team says, quote, the presidential immunity doctrine recognized and trump v. united states pertains to all criminal proceedings including grand jury proceedings the manhattan da violated the doctor by presenting evidence of president trump's official acts. the manhattan district attorney's office violated the doctrine by presenting evidence of president trump's official acts in grand jury proceedings and at trial and it goes on to say that essentially this prosecution amounts to election interference. that's something we've heard a lot from donald trump publicly. but in this filing as the impending election cannot be redone, the currently unaddressed, harm to the presidency resulting from this improper prosecution will adversely impact the operations of the federal government for generations, sentencing is currently scheduled to occur on

september 18, 2024, which could result in president trump's immediate and unconstitutional incarceration and prevent it from continuing his groundbreaking campaign. so they're drawing a direct line to the upcoming 2024 election as they're trying to create a second option for getting this conviction overturned. you'll remember judge marshawn has already weighing a proposal by donald trump's legal team to overturn the conviction and angeles and things till after the election that's the new york case. >> there's also a fight filing deadline today in the federal election subversion case. what's going on there yeah. >> jack smith appears to still be trying to keep his powder dry and we're told by sources that he is moving forward with the federal election subversion case, but i'll be at a more slow and incremental pace than he was before before the supreme court's immunity ruling. the one that the same one that we just talked about as it relates to the new york case. but in jack smith's case, we're told that he's decided not to hold what has been referred to as a mini trial where he could potentially have put up witnesses like former vice president mike pence, and former chief of staff, mark meadows, to try to present some

of that evidence. he's collected before the election were told that he's not going to do that instead is going to try to charm part a path forward with the idea that even if a trial happens after the 2024 election that the case would still be intact and the evidence would still be preserved to present that to a jury if and when a trial ever happens, obviously, the biggest threat to jack smith's case remains a political one. and if donald trump wins the 2024 election, that case all but goes the way alright, zach cohen, thank you very much. rahel all right, john. >> thank you. and breaking overnight, vice president kamala harris is now putting the spotlight on reproductive rights after sitting down with cnn for her first interview as the democratic nominee her campaign says that it's launching a new bus tour next week in florida, warning about the highest stakes for women and families in the upcoming election. cnn's eva mckend joins us now. so eva, donald trump announcing yesterday that he wants to make the government or insurance companies pay for ibs. how is the harris campaign? framing their message now and considering that trump announcement were held, the

fight for reproductive justice has always been a central focus of the campaign. she's running under the mantra of freedom. and one of those pillars is reproductive freedom or specifically the freedom to make decisions about your own body is how she says it on the campaign trail. but the former president raising ivf is an acknowledgment that they feel vulnerable in this space. and it's an issue democrats very much want to run on. most americans say they trust the vice president and democrats at large more when it comes to this issue of abortion. and every time the former president raises this issue, they remind voters does that he is responsible for elevating the three support green court justices that ultimately were responsible for overturning roe versus wade making abortion inaccessible in many states across the country. but she has had some other policy inconsistencies. and our colleague, dana bash asked her about this during last night's interview, let's listen made

very clear where i stand. >> we are in 2024 and i've not changed that position nor will i going forward. i kept my word and i will keep my word what made you change that position at the time? let's be clear. my values have not changed. i believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate? and to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far, the inflation reduction act, what we have done to invest by my calculation over probably $1 trillion over the next ten years, investing in clean energy economy what we've already done creating over 300,000 new clean energy jobs. that tells me from my experience as vice president, we can do it without banning fracking. in fact, dana, dana, excuse me i cast the tie-breaking vote that actually increased leases for fracking as vice president. so i'm very

clear about where i stand and what a hell you heard her there explaining some of her policy evolution and eva back to the reproductive rights issue. what more have we learned and what more are they sharing about this bus tour mean? what do we know about how long it will be, who we can expect to be on the tour so it starts on tuesday and i think it's telling that the bus tour is beginning in florida, which means democrats are feeling confident they can even compete there, especially on this issue. >> it will begin in palm beach with senator amy klobuchar and harris campaign manager julie chavez rodriguez, among others, the bus tour going to make at least 50 stops and key battleground states. and it also seems like they're using this tour to serve as a recruitment tool to mobilize volunteers okay. >> eva mckend, live for us there. eva. thank you all right. >> with us now, democratic strategist julie roginsky and founder and principal of bluestack strategies and former press adviser to then house speaker john boehner. maura

gillespie, since we were just talking about reproductive rights and abortion, i want to play a little bit of sound from donald trump yesterday. he was interviewed and was asked about amendment for in florida, which would mandate abortion rights to viability, essentially 24 weeks. there's a six-week abortion ban on the books in florida listen to what he said well, i think the six week is too shore. >> it has to be more time and show that and i've told them that i want more weeks so you'll vote in favor of the amendment i'm voting that i am going to be voting that we need more than six weeks all right. the campaign then released a statement saying, no, no, no, no, no. donald trump isn't saying how he will vote on the amendment so how do you explain this? there's no other vote in florida that would allow for more than six weeks, then this amendment four. so what kind of position is donald trump now in he again has bucked his campaign at every turn and they

cannot keep him on message so while i agree that six weeks is ridiculous and it's not going to ever fly in this country and nor should it his inability to stay on message with his campaign and what his far-right supporters, one is just a sign to me that donald trump has just testing the boundaries constantly about how far he can push his supporters and see how they'll come along with him. it's about ego and i don't think he's actually thinking through as far as policy stances go. >> and let's just stick on reproductive rights for a moment, julia, were you surprised or what were your thoughts about the fact that reproductive rights didn't really come up that much last night. was that a missed opportunity or how are you feeling this morning? i think it's a missed opportunity. look, she's going in this bus tour. she's been very clear about reproductive rights it's, it's a motivating force, not just to democrats before actually, republican women. a lot of republican women in the suburbs, but i will also say that xi tried to position herself as a moderate. that's how democrats win that's how joe biden won. that's how bill clinton won. that's how barak obama, when you can't focus just on the base, you have to expand it out. and what i found very fascinating is the first thing she said she was going to

do is increase economic opportunity for the middle-class. that's something very clinton-esque that i heard. i remember back in 1992. that's kind of putting her marker down that she's not going to just run to the base, which is what trump is doing, what she's going to appeal just too much more than just her base she was specific enough in that answer. >> i think she did what she had to do. >> i think she understood the assignment which was to get this over with. and i think now she can go and do the interviews that she wants to do, which is it's not just huge, broad global interview that there's been so much pressure on if she wants to go to the daily show, she can if she wants to do these podcasts that she can because she got this done. so i think she did what she had to do in the 45 minutes to xi a lot of dana yesterday i was just say i think on the point that trump planned grow his base like what would it comes to reproductive rights? i feel as though yesterday and this week we heard him say ivf free for everyone. i feel like he is really focused on just pitting his message out there to whoever he's talking to interview. it was town hall was tulsi gabbard who explained ivf

was only way i can have children. so he then said, well, then ivf for all. and when he was asked that question, he goes he did say, i'm going to vote that six weeks is too short. he answered the question because again, bucking his campaign, he's not focused on the message that what about vice president harris last night? what do you think she did well, and what was wanting maura? i think that she did what she needed to do to answer in a calm and confident way. whereas i think in the past interviews we've watched of her, she did seem defensive, which is something that really was important for her not to show that she you know, she could answer the questions. i think on policy, we're not going to really hear that during an interview like that. to be concrete and have a fleshed-out plan. but on the flip side people are saying that she switched policies and all that. it's hard for anyone i think to stand here at the straight face and say criticized harris for having shifting policies when again, trump went off and said ivf for all. so it's really, you got to be cognizant there. >> and by the way, were to step on your own message. i mean, the point that republicans are

trying to make history is actually flip-flopped on fracking should flip thoughts and flip-flops. all these issues and what is trump do? he comes out and immediately starts flip-flopping on abortion within the same day. i mean, makes one announcement is campaign walks it back. we don't know where he stands and the news focus is a way from what they want it to be on as more pointed out, which is her flip-flops. and focusing entirely in his and that's, you know if i were running donald trump's campaign, i'd be bashing my head against the wall every day because these are the kinds of unforced errors, right? that devastated campaign. >> but it's why republicans down-ballot have to be focused on their own messaging and not on the top of the ticket. they cannot rely at all and they've really should be distancing, distancing themselves from trump. >> tim walz last night, there was so much attention on the fact that he was even there sitting with her for this interview. did his his presence did who's his being there did that help her or hurt her or net-neutral? >> i think it was a non-neutral. i think he introduced himself to the nation the same way that she did in that interview yesterday. same thing. got it over with but ultimately, the

attention was really not in tim walz attention it was really on her and he didn't get much time. and rightly, should not have gotten much time because this was her big opportunity. he answered the questions that he was asked and then let her speak with most of the time that he had to i think it was just a nothing burger for him being there i'm trying to answer the questions he was asked, right. he chalked up some of the confusion over statements that he has made to grammar he also said, well, people know what i meant, even if that's not what he said, is that enough? >> i don't think that was a good answer. i don't think that he answered it is not going to put that issue to rest. that will come up again. and again, i think because people are weather again, we should always respect and appreciate anyone who has served in our military or an armed forces. no matter what i do think that it becomes a question of trust and can we trust you, you know, you're exaggerating here and then you are saying is a grammar issue. either just admit something or take responsibility for any issues that happened to that space. >> this specifically, just the people know that my bad for not explaining it was that in an interview well, it he was

onstage years ago and he was talking about weapons of war and he said he carried assault weapons in war, and he did. he never was in war, so and now he's saying it was just a matter of grammar julie, i'm i'm fascinated that you keep saying that she got it over with. she'd gotten the interview over whip. does the debate now become even more important for her now that she to borrow a phrase, got it over with and as a strategist, do you sometimes advise? you, know contenders to hold back and, sort of use maybe some, some of their lines for a debate audience. >> well, first of all, she's been prepping for this debate for a very long time and i know some of the people who've been prepping her and they're excellent. so i would just say that she this is not something that was akin to what she did yesterday. there was an interview with dana and then there's it's the debate where donald trump is mumbling next to you with the mic potentially on, potentially off, that you have to prep for and that is an incredibly difficult tactile thing to be able to accomplish regardless of who your opponent is. look, if i were in her shoes, i would have done this much earlier because as i said,

i would have gotten it over with because there was so much pressure yesterday. she she did it. she got the assignment. she she checked it off. the box is checked but it's not something that you necessarily needed to put so much pressure on herself to do. another debate was always going to be important because the debate is the first time the nation will really tune in to see the two of them together. i was shocked find that she actually had never met him before. but of course of course she never met him before because he refused to accept the election and she refuse to show up to the inauguration so this was going to be something that was always going to be important for her to be i think it's a really good question about the debate. >> if is this performance how she did the interview last night? good enough for the debate on september 10 if the goal is to show the stability versus the chaos, then yes, it would. biden tried to do, but again, he also tended to get defensive and emotional and take things personally and as long as she can stay calm against the erratic comments of donald trump in that debate. but also confident she'll do

really well. i mean, again, i think i've said this a couple times, but i do think that donald trump, in some ways is trying to lose. i think he is about ego for him. and if he can bring his supporters to where he decides to go next, he'll feel good about themselves, but i don't think he actually wants to be in the white house again, i think he just wants to complain about it all being corrupt, but we'll see he is running right now. so it looks like he's trying to win. thank you both for being here. appreciate it very much. >> and what the recent deaths of three teenage football player zeros a new push to make guardian caps mandatory for kids. there the protective soft shell helmet coverings used by players in the nfl. cnn sports anchor and former nfl star coy wire has more each football season, sporting cathedrals like this mercedes-benz stadium are full of excitement about the game. but each season also brings concerns for families and players about the dangers that come with it. there has been a recent uptick in efforts to make the game safer. one of them, these protective helmet

covers called guardian caps. >> but do they work the georgia-based company aims to reduce damage that can be caused to the brain by the sudden stopping or rotation of the head. >> the nfl's research led them to make these caps mandatory for all players during practices, aside from kickers and quarterbacks were off limits for contact players can also choose to wear the caps during the games. nfl executive vice president jeff miller says the statistics show the cats increase safety as a result of the last two seasons we saw about a 50% decrease in concussions in the positions that were mandated to wear them. so of course we said okay, all positions well, now hear them in this preseason. >> no nfl rule changes and advancements in the helmets themselves could also be leading to a decrease in concussions. the company says that more than 3,000 high schools and more than 750 youth programs currently used the caps. one question is, if the nfl is making them mandatory for the pros, why aren't they mandatory? sorry for kids. >> one potential drawback could

be cost each one of these rants about $70, $56 when bought in bulk for a team, many schools are already struggling with funding and the national athletic trainers association has said that such products come with little to no independent scientific evidence showing that they actually worked the helmet and head protection is really the last line of defense. >> the first thing to do is minimize number of head impacts. kids and other athletes. are experiencing one other potential drawback is the way it feels some nfl players saying that makes them feel top-heavy at times. >> well, the research will continue to be done in the push to make the game safer continues our thanks to coy wire for that so expect a nice surprise at the gas pump this labor day weekend. >> what is driving the prices down and airline passenger fed up with their toddlers nonstop crying and a flight. lock her in the bathroom this morning. >> they're actions causing a lot of this gun cnn sports

historical documents including the long island town deed in letter sound, signed by thomas jefferson a toddler on a flight with her grandparents in china, was crying flying nonstop on a three-hour flight. it happens. anyone who's flown with a toddlers that knows it happens to strangers, locked the child in a barrel from the quote, educate her. they said they had the grandmothers consent they even posted video of it, which has been taken down saying they just wanted a quiet flight. the airline has since apologized for the incident and condemned the passengers, behaved rahel all right. >> john this holiday weekend, drivers are in for a treat even if they get stuck in traffic, but hopefully they don't get stuck in traffic. gas prices are expected to hit a three-year low just in time for labor day. let's bring in cnn's matt egan, who joins us now. so talk to us about why not then we can why are prices easing of what you mentioned stuck in traffic? let me just

say you haven't truly experienced being stuck in traffic until you've done that in new jersey with two kids under the age of five. but listen, i'm here. we're good news on this summer friday. yes. falling gas prices, gas buddy project objecting the national average on labor day will be 327 a gallon. that is down $0.50 from a year ago, $0.52 from two years ago. this would be just above the level in 2021. now, it is true that gas prices were even lower in 2019. and of course during 2020 when it was cold but still this is moving in the right direction. a far cry from that spike to $5 a gallon two years ago. and look, some drivers in some states we're seeing even bigger drops, nearly $1 cheaper over the last year in oregon, washington state at $0.08 in the battleground, state of arizona, $0.68 in utah. that is a big change as far as why it's happening. well, on the supply side, oil prices have been low in part because the u.s. is producing record

amounts of oil refineries are doing really well. they haven't been sidelined by extreme heat. so that means gas supplies have been up on the demand side. it's actually been a little bit soft in the u.s. as far as demand for gasoline, but no matter the reason, this is all really good news. yes. so being held the both on the supply and the demand side, it seems i should point out we do care, we do care, we do want to know why so good to have you explain it and talk to us a little bit about the impact this is having for people's wallet? and is it possible to know how long this will last? >> well, rahel, this is real savings gasbuddy is projecting that americans are going to spend $750 million less. this labor day weekend, then they did last. now, as far as how long this lasts, it's always a little hard to say because as you know, so much of it depends on what happens in the oil market. and that can swing on a dime in either direction. but one of the big x factors here is what opec does next opec is scheduled to actually add more supply in the coming months. and so if they do that, veteran

analyst tom kloza, he told me that we could see the national average which is at 3:30 right now, the national average go below $3 a gallon by the end of the year, which would mean rahel, that whoever wins in november could be starting their administration in january with relatively cheap gas prices. >> fascinating was the opec meeting. >> opec meeting is i think that decision september the end of september. so we're going to hear about that in the case for that. >> all right. matt egan thank you. >> thanks for how smack in the middle of an election season. this morning, defense secretary lloyd austin will meet with his ukrainian counterpart at the pentagon. this is to discuss ukraine's current incursion into russia's kursk region cnn, senior international correspondent fred pleitgen is in kyiv this morning. what's the latest from there? fred? >> yeah. good morning, john. of course, pretty high-stake visit. that's going on there by the ukrainian defense minister there visiting with lloyd austin and there's really one thing that the ukrainians want to achieve in these meetings is they want to

present the us with a listen stubb targets that they would like to hit with longer distance weapons that are made in the united states, i think is important to point out that were not only talking about surface to surface missiles, not just those atacms missiles, of course, have a significant range. which right now the ukrainians are using to strike places in occupied crimea, but not yet allowed to use to strike deep into russian territory. but we're also talking, for instance, about air launched missiles that could strike targets in russia as well. one of the main reasons why the ukrainians want to do that, john is because right now the russians have become a lot more effective at using their own air force. and so the ukrainians want to hit the air bases from where the russians are taking off. of course also fuel depots and radar stations as well. so far, the us is only allowing the ukrainians to use u.s made weapons in the immediate border area. the ukrainians want further allowances to use the weapons deeper into russian territory. and of course, all of this is part of a larger plan. that the president of this country, volodymyr

zelenskyy wants to present to president biden around the u.n. general assembly in september, what he called a plan for a possible ukrainian victory and to force russia to the negotiating table. john so fred, what is the current situation on the battlefield yeah, it's difficult. it's a really interesting situation right now in certain areas, it is very difficult for the eu cranium to you, of course, have that incursion into russia into the course area where the ukrainians apparently are still making some gains, even though that slowed down significantly. nevertheless, were more than three weeks into that incursion and the ukrainians still making some progress so that in itself is very significant on the eastern front inside of ukraine, very difficult situation there for the ukrainians, especially in the eastern city or around the eastern city of pokrovsk the russians, they're now making pretty significant progress. i would say it's not fast, but it is certainly very steady. the ukrainians first and foremost have a big issue there with manpower. they're not able to bring enough soldiers into the fight there outmanned by the russians. they say they're

trying to stabilize that situation, but right now that really is the focal point here. you're in the east of the country as ukraine is trying to stem that tide there, while further advancing into russia, further north in the kursk area, john, a pivotal moment great to have you there, fred plan i can thank you so much so a tragic loss for ukraine pilot oleksiy mes, known as moonfish, one of the few ukrainian pilots trained to fly the u.s. made f 16 fighter jet died monday when his jet crashed, or ukrainian military source tells cnn he was repelling the biggest ever aerial attack on ukraine by russia moonfish sought to get the f-16 jets to ukraine. it was trained to fly them, accomplishing it in just six months would typically take years. i had a chance to speak with him in march of 2022, as he was working at that point? right. to repel the russian invasion well, of course, it is heartbreaking to watch all of

that. it is really hard to those close friends. we are comparatively small air force and we know each other by names and of course we know well all our all our fallen friends top of the hour. >> i'm rahel solomon with john berman, sara and kate are out today breaking overnight. the first major title oh, there's an interview with kamala harris is in moments from now, donald trump's running mate, j.d. vance, will join us to give us his reaction. >> vice president kamala harris sat down with cnn's dana bash much to answer questions about her run president biden and her rival donald trump. >> the inflation reduction act. what we have done to invest by my count, if you are elected, what would you do on day one in the white house? well, there e
