You are live in the cnn newsroom. Im jim acosta in washington. Good evening. We begin the hour with a big week ahead for President Biden. He is about to leave for new york to meet with leaders at the United Nations General Assembly this week. He will also sit down with ukrainian president zelenskyy as ukraine seeks more support from its allies in the midst of a challenging counteroffensive against russia. However, bidens focus on the International Stage comes as hes facing a looming Government Shutdown, potentially an Impeachment Inquiry from house repub republicans. Cnns Arlette Saenz is with us. What more do we know about this meeting with president zelenskyy and other World Leaders this week . This is a big week not just for the president of the United States but for the president of ukraine. Reporter yeah, it certainly is. Really any moment now, President Biden will be departing the white house as he is heading to new york for those meetings around the u. N. General assembly. An opportunity for the president to stress the alliances that he has tried to build during his time in office. Officials here say that the marquee moment will be his speech before the u. N. General assembly on tuesday when hell talk about his vision for americas leadership on the world stage. And also stress the need for countries to Work Together to solve some of the worlds biggest problems. He will have a series of meetings with various World Leaders while he is in new york city. That includes a meeting with israeli Prime Minister netanyahu on wednesday. There had been a lot of questions about whether a meeting between the two leaders would, in fact, happen as the administration had expressed some disapproval for his efforts to overhaul the judicial system in israel. But the two will be meeting at unga, not here at the white house. At the end of the week, as the president returns back here to washington on thursday, hes set to meet with ukrainian president zelenskyy here at the white house. They will talk about that counteroffensive thats being waged against russia in ukraine. But it also comes at a delicate moment as the president has been trying to ask congress to provide additional aid to ukraine. But republicans up in the house have expressed opposition to that. They want to have a standalone vote on that instead of including it in his supplemental funding request. But this is all shaping up to be a very big week for the president on the world stage, also as he is trying to make his case for reelection, one of the thing he consistently tries to atout is this Alliance Building he has cultivated during his time in office. He will be in new york city starting this evening all the way through wednesday for those serious of meetings. Arlette, he still has to keep an eye on whats happening wa. The threat of a Government Shutdown is growing. Are there any signs of progress . Reporter so far they havent signaled theyre any closer to getting a spending bill passed by September 30th. Earl yier today, House Speaker mccarthy says he plans on putting a Defense Spending Bill up for a vote in the house after it reached some setbacks within his own caucus. Take a listen to what he had to say earlier today. Unfortunately i had a handful of members last week that literally the republicans stopped the department of appropriations from coming forward. I gave them an opportunity this weekend to try to work through this. And well bring it to the floor, win or lose, and show the American Public whos for the department of defense. Reporter mccarthy also, in that interview, warned republicans against a Government Shutdown, saying that no one wins in the event of a Government Shutdown and that this would be giving a leg up to the administration. There are still a number of issues that need to be worked out both in the house and the senate, especially with republicans since they seem to have different approaches in the two chambers. But right now the country is still barreling towards that September 30th deadline. Biden is also confronting other domestic issues while hes abroad as well. That uaw strike thats still ongoing. Hes dispatching some of his top officials to detroit later this week. Its all a series of domestic issues that the president will still have to focus on as he is in new york for those world leader meetings. The problems dont stay in washington when the president travels outside of the nations capital. Arlette saenz, thank you very much. Joining me now is retired u. S. Army colonel eugene vindman. He just returned from a visit to ukraine. Colonel vindman, great to see you as always. This just crossed our wires in the last several minutes. The nato secretarygeneral warning the war in ukraine will not be over anytime soon. He says we must prepare ourselves for a long war in ukraine. What are your thoughts on that . Well, first, jim, thanks for having me back. I just returned from ukraine, my 13th trip since last year, and frankly ive come to the same conclusion during the course of this trip. I think this is now a long war. The chances that this war would end this year or in the short term are past. I think were looking at, at the earliest, 2024, 2025. And we have to plan accordingly. This is a matter of national security, our own selfinterest, and in a longwar scenario, there are a number of things that need to be planned, logistics training, support for the ukrainians. Colonel vindman, zelenskyy is set to speak before the United Nations General Assembly this week before heading to washington as we were just talking about with arlette a few minutes ago. Its a big week for biden, a big week for zelenskyy. What do you expect the ukrainian leader will ask of the president and ask of the congress . What are his big asks right now . Sure. Well, what i hope they discuss is those that are necessary in order to sustain a long war. That includes longrange we weapons. Im also certain that the United States will end up providing those like they have m 1s and f16s. Unfortunately i think it will mean ukraine will have to endure more pain. It will include more materiel. They have an immense need for ammunition as zelenskyy said in the first days of the war. He doesnt need a ride. He needs ammunition. That has held true. And the unwavering support of the United States and the west as a matter of our own selfinterest frankly. Do you expect the white house to sign off on this, on these attackems, on that missile system, and what kind of an impact would it have . We were showing some video. Some of the apocalyptic scenes that ukrainian soldiers are seeing on the ground in ukraine. Its just extraordinary. Is that the kind of Weapons System that could turn the tide, or does it just sustain them in this what could be a long war . Well, theres no one Silver Bullet frankly that will turn the tide of the war. Attackems along with the other systems that we are providing and will continue to provide all together combine to give the ukrainians an advantage. War is won by adaptation and slight advantages. So attackems will certainly help. If we look at the landscape that youre showing now, it is apocalyptic. It looks like a world war i scenario. Thats because artillery heavy artillery is used. Thousands of rounds recordbreaking fired. Every living thing in the landscape is destroyed, and its a grinding war of attrition. The ukrainians have an advantage. Theyre frankly making progress. I anticipate theyll make more progress, but not enough to win this war. There will be no Knockout Punch from either side. And you just visited ukraine as part of your role on the u. S. And u. N. s atrocity crimes advisory group. What are you finding . Are we seeing more evidence are you seeing more evidence of war crimes committed by the russians . I know thats something weve talked about before. Is the case being made, do you think . Sure. So its not a u. N. Program. Actually its taken the place of what would normally be a u. N. Program because the u. N. Is not functional in this particular situation. Russia wields a veto and has prevented any real action from the u. N. But this is a Multinational Program between the u. S. , the uk, and eu. And just recently, i traveled to chernihiv, actually the same day that secretary blinken was there. And i visited the theater that was blown up by a russian cruise missile. Many people died in that theater, and its one of a series of war crimes that ive seen. There are stories or cases of p. O. W. S being executed by senior russian officers in chernihiv, which is significant. A russian battalion commander. There are cases last year, if you recall, chernihiv was almost completely surrounded. Bread lines being shelled. This is one small city amongst dozens of cities, and not even in the Occupied Zone. I think what well see in the Occupied Zone once its liberated will be truly horrific. I mean, the way youre describing how we could be seeing a long war ahead for the ukrainians, i suppose that does mean that at some point, the president zelenskyy, members of congress, folks who want to continue to provide aid to ukraine are going to have to have the conversation about how much assistance, what more assistance should be provided to the ukrainians in the event we get past the u. S. Election next year and there is a shift in the Balance Of Power in washington in a way that is not beneficial to the ukrainians. I think you can catch my drift here. What happens if donald trump gets back into the white house . What happens if republicans take control of both houses of congress and you dont see as much aid going to ukraine . Does the president and members of congress who want to see more aid to ukraine, do they need to head that off at the pass essentially and start taking that into account . Thats a complicated question, jim. But the bottom line is that the u. S. Is not the only Decision Maker here. The ukrainians have agency. If weve seen nothing in the last few weeks, weve seen ukrainians use their own systems, some developed over the course of the last year and change as far as drones, others missiles that theyve had in development for some time, taking out a russian sub in dry dock, a russian large landing ship. A billion dollar air defense system. Actually, two have been destroyed in the last couple of months. So the ukrainians are not going to give up the fight. We are helping them enormously. Were saving from even more horrific casualties, all oh i think along both sides, the casualties are probably close to a million now. Thats included p. O. W. S and killed in 18 months of war. But the ukrainians are not going to give up this fight. So making them selfsufficient, providing them what is necessary will prevent more casualties and benefit us, frankly, in the long run. When i think about helping the ukrainians, i think about what kind of world do i want to live in . What kind of world do i want my children to live in . Is it a world where might makes right, or is it a world where people and countries follow a rulesbased National Order . So this is very much in our interest. Were interconnected in this world just like Climate Change affects us. So does defending democracy around the world and in ukraine. All right. Colonel vindman, thanks very much for your time. We appreciate it. Thank you, jim. Still ahead, what donald trump has to say about democracy in his first broadcast Network Interview since the january 6th attack.

Today a new interview with former President Donald Trump is making headlines. In his discussion with meet the press, the likely republican nominee for president was asked about the state of democracy here in the u. S. As you think about the possibility of a second term, do you still think that democracy is the most effective form of government . I do. I do, but it has to be a democracy thats fair. This democracy is i dont consider us to have much of a democracy right now. Here to discuss, vanity fairs special correspondent Molly Jong Fast and s. E. Cupp. What do you think of trump saying the u. S. Doesnt have much of a democracy right now . Last time i checked, we do. We do. You know, its in a precarious position thats mostly because of donald trump. And, you know, no one thinks of donald trump as being intro pecktive. But, you know, looking back at all of the ways in which he has tried to demantle democracy, from our checks and balances, separation of powers, you know, freedoms of the press, freedoms to protest, i mean voting access. All the things that make up a democracy, all the most important things anyway, he has tried to undermine. He has tried to puncture. And he wants to do more of it. So its an ironic answer, but i wouldnt have expected much different. Molly, he tried to overturn democracy is what he did. We wouldnt have much of a democracy right now had he succeeded in 2021. But he went on to say during that interview that it was his decision to make the claim that the 2020 election was rigged. He sounded like he was admitting he was the driving force behind the effort to overturn the election results. What did you think of that . You know, the thing about donald trump and trumpism as a whole is that since he has tried to overturn the 2020 election, he does this thing now where he says, well, im the one who likes democracy, and joe biden is the one who doesnt believe in democracy, right . This is the idea, is that everything you have sort of accused him of, which clearly has happened on earth one, is no longer true in trump world. And this is effective with his base. That is why theres a large percentage of this Republican Base that believes the 2020 election was unfair despite the fact that there is mountains and mountains of evidence to prove that donald trump is wrong. And i think that, you know, all of his answers, Donald Trumps answers, can be taken as either lies or projection. So even, you know, i mean im not surprised by anything he says. Im often surprised when it isnt a complete and utter fabrication. Right. S. E. , lets talk about the latest polling in the race for the white house. Still tide in this latest polling from kcbs news and yougov. It shows voters are going 49 for biden, 50 for trump. Its a statistical dead heat. It just seems like the race is frozen right now no matter what poll you look at. What do you make of these numbers . Its shocking, and if i listen, on the right, you know, the fact that other republicans not named trump have not really dared to take him on, on a regular basis, thats fine. Thats obvious. But over on the left, if im democrats, i am seriously asking myself why the incumbent, the sitting president , is polling tied with a former president who tried to overturn the last election, incited an insurrection, was twice impeached, and is now facing 91 criminal charges. That would deserve some introspection as well and maybe prompt i dont know someone on the left to say it might be time for joe biden to step down. He was meant to be a transitional president. He transitioned. Now someone else should come in and be a transformational president. If im democrats, im flabbergasted that they have not made that decision yet. Molly, what do you think of that . And we should note we have live pictures now to show everybody of the president. Hes on his way to the u. N. General assembly in new york. You know, molly, this poll also finds that a lot of likely voters are concerned about whether joe biden, if reelected, would finish out a second term. This is a question that the people at cbs polling asked. Just 34 think he would. Not much better for trump, 55 . What do you think of what s. E. Was saying, molly . I guess the other question is if not biden, who . I love s. E. , and were friends. But i think shes completely wrong here, and i would say this. First of all, National Polls are meaningless. Were 414 days till this election. If you look back in 1995, you had dole, right, crushing clinton. I mean National Polls are meaningless. The guy is old, but hes 2 1 2 years older than trump. The whole narrative has been biden is too old. People are being asked in polls, do you find biden old . Trump is a man who was, during his presidency, bragging about passing a cognitive test. Man, woman, person, camera, television. I mean this is wild stuff. Biden just got back from a fiveday european trip. The guy has been doing a great job. Every time he speaks, hes fine. Remember in 2015, trump world told us that Hillary Clinton was too sick to serve, that she had passed out, that she had pneumonia. Like this is what they do. This is their playbook. And, again, a matchup is a rematch of the same candidates is not much fun, but i think its really important that the Mainstream Media does not cover donald trump like a normal candidate because we know from his twice impeachment, multiple civil and criminal charges, and, you know, his various other and leading an armed insurrection that this guy is not a normal candidate who believes in democracy. Right. I wanted to ask both of you about well, s. E. , you were shaking your head. Ill give you one more response to that since molly disagreed with you. And i love molly too. Obviously friends can disagree civilly like this. I think this is total denialism. The fear of trump getting back in the white house should be so great that you consider all the options. And if were saying that it is not an option to look at a president with as low Approval Numbers as joe biden, when a majority of the country feels as though the economy is not doing well, i think i think youre ushering in the potential for real disaster. This isnt a fabrication. This isnt Donald Trumps trumpy republicans saying this about joe biden. This is a republican who voted for joe biden saying this. And i just i just think its too precarious not to consider that possibility. Speaking of ushering, let me talk to both of you about colorado congresswoman lauren boebert. She was booted from beetlejuice. You saw what took place, that live theater performance in denver. She was doing a bunch of stuff in the audience there, thincludg vaping. Shes now explained herself, and we have a bit of that. Well play it and get your reaction to that, molly. I was a little too eccentric. Im im very known for having an animated personality, maybe overtly animated personality. I was laughing. I was singing, having a fantastic time, was told to kind of settle it down a little bit. Molly, you were saying that the theater in denver was tougher on boebert than congress. I guess she was being animated in multiple ways there. I mean, look, i am not a person who is going to sexshame someone, especially not a middleaged woman. Good for her. I would say this is a woman who has gone around since shes been in congress claiming that everyone who is lgbtq is a groomer, and then shes in a Family Theater doing, you know, what is really not appropriate in a Family Theater and also vaping near children and pregnant people. So in my mind, this is a nobrainer. Its not the sex. Its the hypocrisy. All right. Molly jongfast, s. E. Cupp, were going to usher ourselves out of this segment at this very moment before we go further. Thanks to both of you for your time this afternoon. We appreciate it. Still ahead, former President Trump says it was, quote, my decision to keep falsely claiming the election was rigged. In just a few moments, well also show you the latest of President Biden on his way to new york for the u. N. General assembly. Alall of that next. Youre live in the cnn newsroom.

Donald trump speaking out today on his efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election, claiming the idea was all his. You called some of your outside lawyers. You said they had crazy theories. Why were you listening to them . Were you listening to them because they were telling you what you wanted to hear . You know who i listened to . Myself. I saw that election and i thought the election was over at 10 00 in the evening. Were you calling the shots, mr. President , ultimately . As to whether or not i believed it was rigged, sure. It was my decision. It was my decision, he says. Lets discuss more with democratic congressman of california adam schiff. Hes a former member of the January 6th Select Committee and currently serves on the house judiciary committee. Congressman schiff, great to see you as always. First your reaction to what you heard the former president say just a little while ago on meet the press. It was his decision to try to overturn the 2020 election results. It sounds like hes taking full ownership here. It sounds like he is. I think this is probably, you know, music to the ears of the special prosecutor, watching these interviews, compiling further evidence to present against the president. Its probably also good news for the prosecutors in georgia. Here he is taking responsibility, saying it was his decision essentially, that he was ignoring the lawyers who were saying the respected lawyers who were saying things he didnt want to hear and going with the crazies because it affirmed what he wanted to believe. And his taking responsibility for his actions, i guess, it stops there with that previous comment. Lets listen to what he had to say about how he responded to what took place on january 6th. I want to know who you by the way, nancy pelosi why would you tell you that . Listen, nancy pelosi you dont want to talk about that . Nancy pelosi was in charge of security. She turned down 10,000 soldiers. If she didnt turn down the soldiers, you wouldnt have had january 6th. Did you call military or Law Enforcement . What . Did you call military or Law Enforcement at the moment im not going to tell you anything. Let me put it this way. I behaved so well. I did such a good job. Congressman, you were on the january 6th committee. What do you make of trump blaming former Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the insurrection at the capitol . Your thoughts . Well, i thought that was one of the most telling exchanges of the interview because he wont say who he called because he called no one to put an end to this. Thats the painful reality of it. And he sat there for hours, watching the capitol be attacked. He sat there in the comfort and security of the white house dining room and watched that mayhem unfold. People came in to urge him to do something, to say something, and he rebuffed them. No wonder he doesnt want to answer the question. But the proof speaks louder than his lack of words. And for him to try to blame nancy pelosi, blame someone who was the target of that mob violence, is also typical of trump. He does nothing but project onto others his own lack of action, lack of morality. But it doesnt fool anyone, and i think the Dereliction Of Duty by donald trump during those hours is an indictment itself of the former president. Lets talk about the Impeachment Inquiry up in the House Of Representatives that just got launched this past week. The House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy gave in to the hardliners of the House Freedom caucus. He announced this inquiry into President Biden. What are House Democrats going to do to respond to that, and should democrats be putting together a kind of war room to sort of respond, tit for tat, to allegations that may be coming out of this inquiry . Well, im sure that we will respond. At this point, theres very little to respond to because theres no evidence to respond to. This is an impeachment essentially to do with the budget shutdown. It is an evidencefree proceeding. Kevin mccarthy, in an effort to try to coax the more rightwing elements of his conference into not shutting down the government, basically said, i will give you impeachment. I will give you an Impeachment Investigation in the complete absence of evidence if that will placate you. But, you know, it didnt placate them. Its never enough. He offered them a censure of me earlier. That wasnt enough. Hes offering an impeachment of joe biden. That wont be enough. Basically this is a conference that is completely out of control. You know, we will, of course, respond to whatever they do and to, in particular, the false claims made by the former president and others. But at this point, this is unprecedented to begin an inquiry in the total absence of evidence in the hope of something that might show up. But more than that, as a chip in a bargaining over the budget. Thats completely unprecedented and completely unwarranted. Do you think the speaker survives until the end of the year in his position . You know, i think the one thing that Kevin Mccarthy has going for him is they dont seem to have much of an alternative. The reason why mccarthy has had such difficulty is the republicans know, just as the democrats know, that Kevin Mccarthy doesnt stand for anything. Theres no conviction behind his actions. Theres no strong ideological framework. Theres no sense of purpose or mission. The only mission is for him to stay speaker, and thats not much of a unifying theme for the republicans. So im not surprised hes having the difficulty he is. What has yet to emerge is an alternative, someone that both the more responsible, although theyre few in number, republicans and the crazies can agree upon as an alternative. Otherwise, they will vote him down, and then they wont be sure where to go. And this week we saw hunter biden become the first child of a sitting u. S. President to be indicted. He was charged with making false statements on a federal firearms form, lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, among other charges. Let me ask you your thoughts on this, and do you think that these charges harm the president s reelection chances to have this continue to hang out there as an issue . You know, i dont think they harm his reelection, but, you know, i think that they take a personal toll. The president loves his son. The president realizes his son has had challenges. The president lost one of his other sons. So it cant help but take a personal toll. But i think the president will be judged based on his record of extraordinary accomplishment. Hes been one of the most successful president s in terms of his domestic policy agenda since franklin roosevelt, and i think his ability to bring down inflation while not sending us into recession, his passage of the inflation reduction act, the chips and science act, the bipartisan infrastructure bill, and more have done more to try to strengthen middleclass families and lift up working families than anyone since roosevelt. I think thats what hell be judged on. But i have to think personally its difficult, and i think he would acknowledge that. But i think, you know, americans i was just going to if you dont mind me asking, given what youre saying, why is it that all of these recent polls show hes basically in a dead heat with the former president , the guy he beat in 2020 . The latest cbs poll out today shows 49 for President Biden, 50 for former President Donald Trump. How concerned are you at this point with these kinds of numbers . And should the white house and the president be more concerned . You know, i think the president and the white house are going to need to be more vocal about what theyve been able to achieve. And i think as these bills go more into effect, as these projects are rolled out, as these jobs are created, i think the case just becomes stronger and stronger, and the president and the white house will be out making that case. So i think his numbers will go up. Im not particularly concerned at this moment in time. I think whenever you test an incumbent president , youre going to see numbers like this because there is an Opposition Media now. I dont think a democratic president , even if they walked on water, given the presence of Propaganda Outfits like fox and newsmax and oan and a lot of conservative radio is ever going to do more than, you know, 55 approval on a very good day. So im not surprised, but i feel very confident that when voters see his record, when they see the alternative, that he will be reelected. All right.

It happened last night at around 6 00, and according to the sheriff here, he was in his car. He was driving, and at some point was shot. And what the sheriff said was that this was an ambush. Thats the way that the sheriff described it. And this happened about 60 miles north of los angeles. It was actually a Good Samaritan that found the officer unconscious. He was taken to the hospital and later pronounced dead. But, again, the focus is in finding the person responsible. Heres sheriff robert luna. We really need your help. We need to get this guy off the street guy or guys. Hes a Public Safety threat. He ambushed and killed, murdered one of our deputies. We need your help to get him off the street. And the sheriff saying this does appear to be targeted and saying it could have just been because he was wearing the uniform here. And so i do want to take a moment to point out that he was just 30 years old. He had gotten engaged just four days ago. Everybody saying positive things about this deputy. This is not just him. Its a family job. His father, his grandfather also serving at the Sheriffs Department here in los angeles. So it is a Community Grieving and a family and really just the entire department here who is focused on finding the person responsible, jim. All right.

So Caramel Swirl is always there for the taking. Negotiations with the Big Three Automakers are ongoing amid an historic strike. General motors and the union sat at the Bargaining Table today, and we know those talks have now ended for the day. Cnns Vanessa Yurkevich joins us now. I guess had is just going to continue on here. No resolution as of yet. Where do the negotiations stand . What can you tell us . Reporter yeah. So negotiations are always ongoing behind the scenes between the Big Three Automakers and the union. But today General Motors had their day at the main Bargaining Table with the union. Those talks have concluded. We did not sort of hear from the union the same tone that we heard yesterday when the union met with ford at the Bargaining Table, saying they had reasonably productive negotiations. Stellantis is scheduled to be up at the main table tomorrow. I am here with isaiah goddard. He is actually a thirdgeneration ford worker. Your grandfather started with the company. You know the lists of demands from the union, 40 increase in wages, fourday workweek, protection against ev transition. For you, what is the number one priority in this contract . I think its important. I think i can speak for everybody here in the same way, the whole entire uaw as a whole. We want our fair share. We want fair wages. You know, were sick of the corporate greed, and thats what we want. We want our fair wages. We want it all. We want our cola back, pensions. We want it back. We want our fair share. I think a lot of people at home might not know what its really like to work inside one of these plants. Describe to people what it is like to produce these cars every day. Well, i believe its a beautiful thing, right . I go in the plant. Look at my hands right now. I got off work a little while ago. Were pushing parts, and we work hard. I take pride in what i do, and i believe here we all take pride in what we do. Its a beautiful thing to work inside of a plant. Its not the easiest thing in the world, but i work hard, and i take pride, and i love what i do. Thank you so much, isaiah. Appreciate your time. So, jim, we know that two officials from the Biden Administration are scheduled to come into town at some point this week. Acting labor secretary julie hsu and also gene sperling, senior white house adviser. We have heard from the union theyre not really interested in having the Biden Administration involved in these negotiations, but they are still planning to come to try to move these negotiations forward and try to get both sides to come to some sort of a deal before the union escalates their targeted plant strikes. Right now theres three plants that are striking. However, the uaw has made it clear if negotiations do not move forward, theyre going to strike more plants throughout the country. Jim. All right. It sounds like things could be escalating. Vanessa yurkevich outside a ford plant in michigan for us.
