we have new polling on what that message might do with a key bloc of voters. plus, what a raging wildfire in california is warning us about this summer's fire season. and two days after the supreme court rules to make it easier to rapidly fire a gun, a man shoots nearly 30 rounds at families using a community splash pad for kids. nine injured, including children. some seriously. an 8-year-old boy who has a gunshot wound to the head. he's in critical condition. >> those stories in a moment. first, let's begin with politics. the new more aggressive strategy from team biden to go after donald trump as a convicted felon. the new $50 million ad campaign is going up in battleground states, framing the election as a choice between a convicted criminal, that's in a quote, and a president who is, quote, fighting for your family. it was juiced over the weekend as george clooney, julia roberts, jimmy kimmel and former president obama laid out the stakes for november. >> the next president is likely to have two new supreme court nominees, two more. he's already appointed two that have been very negative in terms of the rights of individuals. the idea that if he's reelected he's going to appoint two more flying flags upside down -- >> i really mean it. >> could this be the scariest part of all of it? >> i think it is one of the scariest parts. look, the supreme court has never been as out of kilter as it is today. >> nbc's mike memoli is reporting from washington, d.c., and jennifer palmieri, former white house communications director under president obama, former communications director for hillary for america and cohost of msnbc's "how to win 2024" podcast, and doug hie, communications director and strategist. why did the campaign team decide on this message for this moment? >> reporter: well, katy, four years ago, the biden campaign became the first presidential campaign to raise a billion dollars. this time around in part with $30 million from the fundraiser i was at in los angeles over the weekend and another 28 million they raised at that three presidents fundraiser in march, they're on path to surpass that. what can you do with that much money in this race? you put your foot on the gas. that's what the campaign is doing with the $50 million ad spending blitz flout the month of june. this will be in all battleground states. it will be specific resources targeting specific voter groups, and the message now is a significant one as we talk about the weeks following donald trump's criminal conviction. for some time, we have seen the biden team try to set up this race as a contrast between two men, one looking after himself and one after the american people. the conviction is really giving them a new hill on which to put this message. let's listen to the new ad. >> in the courtroom, we see donald trump for who he is. he's been convicted of 34 felonies, found liable for sexual assault. and he committed financial fraud. meanwhile, joe biden's been working. lowering health care costs and making big corporations pay their fair share. this election is between a convicted criminal who's only out for himself and a president who's fighting for your family. >> i'm joe biden and i approve this message. >> there were questions about whether when hunter biden was convicted in his own trial, that that would deter the biden campaign from using in message. that was not the case. i was traveling late last week with first lady jill biden. i had a chance to speak with her exclusive about her trial and what means for the campaign. she says her son has been strong since that verdict and she's taking her lead from him and she was out there making the character message across battleground states as well. >> jen, let's talk about the strategy here. joe biden going after donald trump as a convicted criminal. was this the plan all along? they stayed away from describing him as or getting into the legal problems that donald trump was facing in detail. what's with this new decision to get so aggressive? >> i don't think that they were planning to do it all along. you know, they stayed out of it while -- as president of the united states, stayed out of the legal matter, didn't comment on it, and let it play out. i think everyone is surprised, actually, that it came down to guilty on all counts, and, you know, campaigns still expended $50 million unless they're quite certain that the message is going to resonate with voters. so i'm certain that they've gone through a lot of message testing in the last couple of weeks since the conviction, and found that this is a good marriage of the argument of trump being in it for himself, trump being a felon. there's an economic message. i heard other people say i'm not sure biden should focus on the conviction, he needs to deliver his economic message. that ad is doing it. he talks about lowering drug costs and fighting for you. that is what they think their best shot at approving his standing with voters on the economy is. showing he's the one that's making some progress on your behalf. and trump is only obsessed with himself. >> this ad targeting battleground states is that as effective as it needs to be. it's old media strategy, are you seeing evidence they're getting into the new media ecosphere, where president biden is not polling as well with voters. jen? >> is that for me, katy? >> yeah. >> it's just because we're seeing on television, it doesn't mean it's the only place it's appearing. everything they are doing on television is also part of a digital strategy, too. and, you know, he said he may have more details on that, they believe this appeals to certain voter groups, and they can reach them digitally, and that's always, i mean, we should always assume when you see something on television that that is not the only place it's going to be. and it's going to get sliced up. different versions of it, and you'll see a 30-second version and a 10-second version, and that's how you get to like, actually, penetrate people's memory. >> i'll ask you that, are they going beyond the tv ads and the mailers? >> one of the things the biden team has done when they put out announcements is list specific shows or hours they're going to be airing that. i was noting one of the recent ad buys, they put on during the nba finals. they know the same thing our bosses know about when people are watching and how much people are watching live versus through the dvrs. one thing the biden team has been look for is high profile events, shows that people tend to be watching live or in sports programming is a big part of that. you're also, to jen's point seeing them put out digital messaging as well. when president obama was in los angeles for that fundraiser this weekend, he also spent some time at a meeting set up by the biden campaign with digital creators. there was an opportunity for him to talk to some of those people reaching out on platforms in which maybe the biden campaign or even the president himself is not necessarily somebody suited for those platforms, and so he's talking to them about how to reach audiences with the campaign's message. >> there's a little bit of new polling out there, doug. from "politico," and this is ipsos. and it talks about the reaction from voters who might change their minds about donald trump in the face of the conviction. do you believe trump is guilty in the falsifying business case, brought by the manhattan d.a., 52% say yes. do you believe trump is guilty, yes. how does trump's guilty convict in the manhattan d.a.'s falsifying business case, blah blah blah impact your likelihood to support him. more likely 17%, less likely 33%. so there's a fair share of voters out there that are turned off by this, doug. >> yeah, i've seen separate polling that says the same thing. that tells you exactly why they're going down this route. i think it's a smart one for the biden team to do, given these are the voters he needs to convert. he has record high on approval ratings, and has been listless in the past few weeks and months. this is an opportunity for him. it does get muddied though by the fact that we're going to see sentencing for hunter. it doesn't address the two issues voters are talking about the most. jen mentioned drug prices. it sort of goes into some of that. inflation and costs are the number one issue people are talking about in the country. number two is the border. joe biden has to fix those two things. voters don't like donald trump but also don't like joe biden either. that's a real problem for the incumbent. >> talking about independents, 21% of the innocents say the conviction make them less likely to support donald trump. there's another piece beyond the character matters ad. and this is what president biden talked about on that stage with jimmy kimmel talking about the supreme court. if former president trump were to win again, there would be intense pressure on clarence thomas and samuel alito to step down while a conservative president or republican president has office. that's especially if there's a republican majority in the senate, and there's an easy path to nomination and to appointment of these supreme court justices. do you see the fate of the supreme court, potentially for decades to come as a turn on or turn off for conservative voters. >> the courts have been a big issue for conservatives for a long, long time. it really wasn't a priority for democrats until we had the dobbs decision. obviously we have seen a real uptick in democratic voter mobilization and motivation, which is part of why they have done well in the midterms. but it's still, i think at this point, unless we see at the ballot box, it's sort of a wait and see move, this is more important for republicans, the issue of the courts, than it is for democrats. abortion becomes a separate but related matter. >> let me ask you this if the court is leading in a direction that cleves the republicans in half, the southern baptist convention saying it condemns ivf. there does seem to be a split among republicans on this subject of ivf. is the thought of a more extreme conservative majority because the likelihood of clarence thomas and samuel alito being replaced like for like is higher with the trump administration. does that help cleve party again or knit it back together? >> it's a real problem for the party. it's been a problem for a while. not just because of what we have seen in alabama. you can go state by state, arizona, there's an important senate race. the ads state legislature and the gop, causing problems for republicans within their state, and also causing it nationally. south carolina, another example where republicans are maybe turning off some of their more moderate, if you can see the voters exist, independent voters, suburban women. republicans have work to do. we see legislatures are legislating out loud, and it defines the issue in a state. also on a national level as well. it's a real challenge for republicans. the court could remain a winning issue for them. there is this complication. >> doug hie, general palmeri, mike memoli, thank you so much for starting us off. in 90 seconds, the fast moving wildfire that has forced hundreds to evacuate their homes in los angeles. this fire is moving fast. plus, add splash pads to the list of places americans need to worry about getting shot at. what we know about a shooting at a michigan park and other mass shootings that happened in america over this weekend. >> it's terrifying. i don't know what type of weapon it was. but it was a big long one. and i don't know why it was sitting on the kitchen table and what his intent was to do with it after he had just left the splash pad. the kids are playing across the street yesterday. all the kids were out here playing. the kids were out here playing. deep down, i knew something was wrong. since my fatigue and light-headedness would come and go, i figured it wasn't a big deal. then i saw my doctor and found out i have afib, and that means there's about a 5 times greater risk of stroke. symptoms like irregular heartbeat, heart racing, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, or light- headedness can come and go. but if you have afib, the risk of stroke is always there. if you have one or more symptoms, get checked out. holding off on seeing a doctor won't change whether or not you have afib. but if you do, making that appointment can help you get ahead of stroke risk. contact a doctor and learn more at notimetowait.com why didn't we do this last year?

>> i'm no climatologist. to have a fire that is close to 16,000 acres on june 17th seems to be a bad sign for the coming season. what basically has happened is we have had this massive -- years of this massive drought followed by record rainfall, which means a lot of vegetation that normally wouldn't be there is now there. the sun comes like it is right now, destroys all the moisture in the crops, and sort of the weeds that we have growing, which means it's a runway of dry brush. that is exactly what has happened on this fire. it is quickly incinerated, again, nearly 16,000 acres of this stuff, and come very close to population centers. it is now dangerously close to interstate 5. thankfully, firefighters managing to push that back. not before it damaged or destroyed three structures. it injured three people, incinerated cars. the destruction that this fire has wrought in a very short amount of time. the hope is this is a one off. many are seeing this as an arbiter of what's to come. there's a fire in sonoma, a fire nearby here in lancaster. they are dangerous, they're fast moving, and again, i can't say this enough, it's early on in the season. the good news here is containment has jumped from 2% to 8th. anytime you have progress in a fire like this, it's a good sign and by all accounts, they're pushing this away from population centers and into the forest, into a nearby lake. these are all good things. again, with the conditions just right this early on, a fire this big, it's bad news for what could be to come, katy. >> i know that area well. castaic lake, it's a very popular place for weekend boating and stuff. steve patterson, thank you very much. on friday, the conservative majority on the supreme court ruled to reinstate access to bump stocks, the device that allowed the las vegas shooter to use his semiautomatic weapon as if it were automatic, shooting more than 4,000 rounds in eleven minutes, killing 60 people and injuring more than 400 at an outdoor music festival in 2017. two days later, a gunman drove to a splash pad and fired at families playing together on a sunday afternoon. nbc's erin mclaughlin has details. >> a mass shooting at a splash pad in michigan, another at a juneteenth celebration, days after a supreme court ruling that rejects a ban on bump stocks. this morning, friend and families across the country are grieving after multiple mass shootings this weekend. >> multiple victims from an active shooter. deputies aren't on scene yet. >> in rochester hills, michigan, a man opened fire at a splash pad, unleashing 28 rounds. the attack left nine injured including children. some seriously wounded. >> the 8-year-old boy who has a gunshot wound to the head. >> police say the suspect later shot himself and are investigating his motive. >> it was heartbreaking, saddening. devastating. nothing like this has ever happened around this area. >> reporter: while in round rock, texas, police are searching for a shooter who killed two, and injured more than a dozen others at a juneteenth celebration. >> these folks could care less about someone's life, and took someone's life on a day we're here to celebrate community. >> reporter: eight people were injured at a shooting at a pop-up party in massachusetts, with two victims in critical condition. >> here we see again gun violence that's striking at the heart of a community. >> so far this year, there have been 225 mass shootings in the u.s. according to the gun violence archive. the weekend shootings come just days after the supreme court struck down a trump-era ban on bump stocks. the gun accessories used to modify semiautomatic weapons so that they can fire faster. but this morning, many are just searching for answers. >> our hearts go out to the victims and their families. these acts of senseless violence do not represent the values of our community. >> the shootings from over the weekend did not involve bump stocks to our knowledge, but experts say if they did, they could have been so much worse. back to you. >> erin mclaughlin, thank you very much. and still ahead, will strict rules for the presidential debate between joe biden and donald trump help or hurt the candidates?

>> reporter: my understanding of this meeting which might be wrapped or close to it started about an hour ago. this meeting is a continuation of the conversation that the former president started with the full house republican conference just last week when he came back to capitol hill for the first time since the january 6th insurrection that he helped to foment. during that conversation with all republicans here on the house and then later on the senate side, many of our sources and lawmakers in the room likened it to a sort of pep rally, all looking ahead to the november 2024 elections. the goal is to get the majority. on the senate side of that building, that's earning it now from democrats. on the house side of the building, it's keeping it as democrats try in as many districts as they can to take a tight minority that they have right now and flip it into their favor in the majority. you see the house republican campaign arm, richard hudson, part of the meeting with the speaker and the former president, all of it meant to show allegiance, and also uniformity throughout the party with the former president and the likely nominee all ahead of the convention and then of course ahead of november too, katy. >> ali vitali, thank you very much. and muted mics, no props, the rules for the first presidential debate have been announced and there is a hope that they will keep things civil. between donald trump and president biden. it will start with a coin flip to determine where each will stand on stage. the candidates will then have two minutes to answer questions followed by one minute rebuttals. red lights will flash when five seconds are left of their time. then turns solid red when their time is up. before the mic is cut off. doug hie and jen palmieri are back with me. also joining us is nbc's vaughn hillyard. so, vaughn, i was surprised donald trump said yes to these rules. what do you know about why? >> well, look, he's been saying for months now he would debate joe biden anytime, anywhere. so if you're going to go and make that claim and make part of your campaign stuff about that, bring to a podium next to you. when that guy comes calling and saying i'm ready to do it, you have to bite the bullet and do it. it's surprising that it's perhaps this early on before the convention is 4 1/2 months out. >> what have they said about the rules? >> the rules are not exactly what they would like them to be. they're going to go forward with them, and donald trump, and i asked chris, a senior adviser to him a week ago, what is he doing for the debate prep, and he suggested donald trump is always prepping. he's always in his go mode. one interesting note is, you know, four years ago when he did this, he had chris christie spar with him as the biden stand-in. of course there's no chris christie this time around. >> he has done actual debate prep done in the past. is it wrong to assume they're not doing actual debate prep this time around. you can imagine they would do that in his campaign team that has put him in the position to succeed, they would be positioning him to be thoroughly prepared for the moment. >> it's counter intuitive. does it help donald trump to have his mic cut, during the last debate's go around, it was the over talk that turned voters off from him. could this counter intuitively help the campaign? >> i don't think we know until we see what happens. there's been a lot of speculation that not having audience would deprive donald trump. there are people in the crowd cheering for him that he thrives on. we know the apprentice didn't have a live studio audience for him to feed off of it. the tapings might have been the smooth run thing, the apprentice is the most consequential tv show. >> i don't think we can compare the apprentice to a debate. i think the two things are not like. >> we know donald trump knows how to use a camera more than anybody in our political history, potentially more than ronald reagan. we think we know this before it happens. i don't think we do. cutting the mics, having a great decision. not having an audience, a great decision. praise be to cnn for doing this. to know this is an advantage for one or the other, both are elderly men, haven't done this in a long time. we have to wait and see. >> the comparison to reagan i get. but he sailed to reelection. sailed. and donald trump not sailing to reelection. >> neither is joe biden. >> but you're not comparing joe biden to reagan. you're comparing trump and his tv ability. >> jen, what do you think of these rules? >> doug paints a good picture of that. it may be that trump doesn't know how to use a camera, and he has a smart team around him, and if they decide to do something other than we expected, the rules -- there could be a scenario where the rules work for trump. if you look at past behavior, i don't see anything in the rules that's a benefit to trump, and they all seem to be something that would help, that would make it a better environment for biden, and i'm with you, katy. like, i don't understand why trump agreed to these rules. vaughn said, well, you know, he has been saying he could do it anytime, anywhere. it's not as if trump stands by his word or anything. i am surprised that they said yes to cnn, yes to abc, and it they have agreed to the rules. >> how high are the stakes for president biden. is there -- is anybody saying that -- yeah, tell me, how high are the stakes? >> sorry. they are very high, and i think that he and his team are going into the debate, not -- with a lot of confidence. not a lot of bravado. this was -- i think they really believed that they needed to get the two of them on stage so that the american people would understand this is what the contest is going to be. nothing is going to change that because there's still people who expect other than biden, other than trump to be the nominees. and also, you know, to make trump own his record on roe. you know, the vice president over the weekend was referring to abortion bans as trump abortion bans. make sure people understand, this happened. donald trump is responsible for this situation. to make it clear that the reason why there was not a -- why there's not a real border bill is because donald trump stopped that from happening. and if we have them on stage like that, biden can lay down -- biden is laying that down, and you're going to have a big audience, it's going to be more important the conventions. i think they're going into it feeling confident about his ability to perform. >> let's go back to the reporting. the supreme court is going to come up and abortion is going to come up. donald trump has been able to take every position imaginable on the subject of abortion over the past few decades, but even so in the last couple of months. how is the campaign planning on responding to that. is it the same version of what he has been saying recently is that it's a state's issue? >> he's obfuscated on the question. even since roe v. wade was overturned, claiming they were able to achieve the overturning of roe v. wade, which no republican was able to do in the last 60 years. when it comes to details, that's where he has continually tried to sidestep. he hasn't answered on how he'll vote on florida's measure. he's going to be a florida resident. and he was side stepped. i think for joe biden, this is where the contrast is an opportunity to provide. saying these are conditions that are being debated in oklahoma, and texas and arizona, because of the actions of donald trump and the question that joe biden will pose is if there is a second trump administration, you're looking at potentially two more conservative supreme court justices and more decisions which donald trump cannot deny that he has a direct impact on. >> i think that's so interesting to ask him point-blank, what he might vote on the florida ballot measure. it's valid to get him on the record, if he's saying state rights, how is he going to vote. go ahead, doug. >> i think, you know, obviously a lot of policy is going to be prep for the biden campaign. but the important thing for biden, most important, is what does he do when donald trump comes out of left field and left field in the gutter, and we saw what he did in the first debate by bringing, you know, various women from bill clinton's past into the debate. there's no audience for that this time. what if he talks about how he loves all of his grandchildren, joe, will you acknowledge all your grandchildren, causing a senior moment or bad answer. he's not going to win or lose based on policy. it is the mud donald trump throws and how he gets it out of his eyes. >> the heritage foundation is behind this, there's talk that this is something that the trump team will take seriously if he is reelected. part of it is the effort to ban abortion nationwide, and by any means possible. doug, how much stock do you put in that? >> look, as long as you have a senate that is, you know, not at the level of, you know, a filibuster, i don't take much stock that that happens. you then would have to go 50 states by 50 states, and that obviously isn't going to happen either. when parties talk about or administrations talk about their goals of what they want to do, they're also mindful that that are processes you go through. you have to have a filibuster proof majority in the senate. senate democrats may start liking the filibuster if we have a republican senate. you have to go through a process and it's a very difficult one. >> it's not just doing it through the senate, which does need a super majority. this is about an fda commissioner that might roll back the approval of mifepristone. it's about trying to use the comstock act. there are other maneuvers that the heritage foundation is laying out to get to a national abortion ban that avoids congressional action. >> the america first policy institute, another organization based in d.c. that includes former department and agency officials from the trump administration, in both groups, they have put forward not only a policy proposal, but also how to actually execute those through the departments and agencies. it's not just about actual legislation but it's how do you effectively use the executive office and the executive powers to go and effectuate those policy changes because that is a difference where they say what went wrong, they were not prepared and they had too many political appointees. >> they have schedule f. explain what schedule f is. >> they're going to effectively remove federal workers who are obstructing -- >> making them political appointees and allowing them to dismiss at will. >> correct. you have a database of personnel that's being built. the trump administration in january 2025 will be able to move the identified individuals who know what their roles will be and will be able to go and effectively within the health and human services, within the fda, be able to go and make changes that are being proposed by these organizations. >> we're going deeper into project 25. you're going to be back. thank you, vaughn hillyard, jennifer palmieri, and doug hie. check out the how to win 2024 news letter. open your phone, point it at that little circle there. a little link is going to pop up. click on the link it will take you there. a mystery on a vacation paradise. an american tourist found dead and others still missing. stillg that includes having a smile you feel good about. fortunately, aspen dental specializes in dentures and implants made just for you. and with flexible financing, you don't need to sacrifice quality work for a price that fits your budget. at $0 down plus 0% interest if paid in full in 18 months. helping our patients put their best smile forward. it's one more way aspen dental is in your corner. clem's not a morning person. or a...people person. but he is an "i can solve this in 4 different ways" person. you need clem. clem needs benefits. work with principal so we can help you with a plan that's right for him. let our expertise round out yours. you know what's brilliant?

>> we heard from the state department, confirming the death of that american citizen on the island of methraki, very small and very remote, barely a square mile, and only about 100 people that live there. the state department is not releasing details about his identity or where he's from, we have heard from police who are spoken to local greek media. he was a 70-year-old visiting the island. he was seen at a cafe with tourists and reported missing by a greek american that he was staying with on the island. beyond that, we don't know much about the cause of death. we do know that it has come amid this alarming string of disappearances and deaths of tourists from many different countries on some of these greek islands. as you mentioned, there's a lot of speculation that it may have to do with extreme heat we're seeing on greece. temperatures spiking around 13 degrees fahrenheit, and many individuals, including the sheriff's deputy as you mentioned had been hiking by themselves during scorching heat when they simply disappeared or where are later found dead. we know in the case of the california man, he was a couple of hours into a hike when he did not make it to the place where he was supposed to meet up with a friend. he apparently knew the route very well, had done the hike many times before. at this point, we know that authorities are using drones. they are trying to hike the trail back and forth. they are now using helicopters to search off trail in case he might have gone off the path to do a little bit of exploring. and they might find him somewhere there. but at this point, the number of instances that we are seeing of this, including two french tourists who have also disappeared are also raising concerns about the safety of so many tourists who flock to the greek islands especially during the summer months for rest and relaxation. >> it is unbearably hot in some of those islands. josh lederman, thank you very much. an indian national accused in a murder for hire plot will appear in a manhattan court. officials allege he was targeting a sikh separatist, an outspoken critic of india's government living in new york city. tom winter is following this for us. is the accusation that the indian government might have put him up to this or is this just a man working on his own. >> that's a big question. the justice department says this individual presented in court today, nakil gupta, he's an associate of an indian government official that they only call a quote, senior field officer. is that basically an illusion to indian intelligence and what could that possibly mean. i think those are the outstanding questions that a lot of people have about this case. even though, you know, you hear murder for hire, and it's somebody who's a separatist living in the united states, that's very serious. it's something we talk about on any given day. the fact this we have seen this activity allegedly in other countries, in canada, another sikh separatist was killed almost exactly a year ago, and that had ties to the indian community, further back to the government. something that's a question in that community that's led to, been a part of really the break down in the relations between india and canada. that's the reason why i think a lot of people are looking at this. look, we have seen more of this behavior over the last several years, particularly in new york city, we have an iranian woman who has spoken out against the regime and government in iran being targeted on a number of occasions. she says she has been moved by the fbi to various safe houses on a dozen occasions. there have been federal charges in that, and an fbi investigation. when you put it together. that's the big question, are foreign governments trying to target their own dissidents using the rights that this country, the united states has on u.s. soil. that's something that federal law enforcement officials tell me they are very concerned about. that's the reason why they have been focused on this case. >> when will we know more? >> later today, and i think additional details obviously will come out certainly in detention memo will be docketed in this case. that's usually when prosecutors have more of an opportunity to talk about what their investigation uncovered in an effort to keep a person behind bars pending trial. >> tom winter, thank you very much. and coming up, the count down to paris as the olympic torch tops through the caribbean. we've got a look at the athletes who just clinched their spot at olympic swimming trials. ng tria. nothing dims my light like a migraine. with nurtec odt, i found relief. the only migraine medication that helps treat and prevent, all in one. to those with migraine, i see you. for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. don't take if allergic to nurtec odt. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. it's time we all shine. talk to a healthcare provider about nurtec odt from pfizer. upset stomach iberogast indigestion iberogast bloating iberogast thanks to a unique combination of herbs, iberogast helps relieve six digestive symptoms to help you feel better. six digestive symptoms. the power of nature. iberogast. the virus that causes shingles is sleeping... in 99% of people over 50. and it could strike at any time. think you're not at risk?
