>> i, wolf blitzer in the situation room. thanks very much for watching the news strategist, is heading to prison in his own call for trump's supporters to quote savage or enemies. >> plus remembering a time 80 years ago today when americans defeated the enemies of freedom and humanity on the beaches of normandy, then help rebuild a continent we begin tonight. >> keep them honest with the ongoing question of whether the former president, if reelected, would use the criminal justice system against his political opponents ongoing because he keeps hinting at it, speaking this evening in phoenix at an event put on by the conservative activist charlie kirk he can find the bulk of his remarks, immigration and the economy, but also railed against his criminal prosecutions and finished with this i'm telling you we are in more danger from the enemy from within with these learner texas fascist, these communists. >> and we're going to stop that also now, these are words he's using the past for the people prosecuting him or overseeing his trials. and as retribution talk goes, what he said today was pretty mild by comparison with what he's been saying recently, like this moment on newsmax when asked about payback against his opponents it's a terrible, terrible path that they're leading us to. and it's very possible that it's going to have to happen to them that was two days ago, generate enough headlines for sean hannity on fox last night to try and do damage control my question is very serious. >> one you know, people are claiming you want retribution. people are claiming you want what has happened to you, done to democrats. would you do that ever? >> look, what's happened to me has never happened in this country before and it has to stop because wait a minute, i want to hear that again. >> it has to stop that's, a fox news host all but throwing his body between his guests to and what his guests was about to say, what his guests believes evidently, here's what came next is handy, kept trying and failing to real things in i would have every right to go after them. >> and it's easy because it's joe biden and you see all the criminality all of the money that's going into the family and him all of this money from china, from russia, from ukraine, will you pledge to restore equal justice. equal application of our laws and this practice of weaponization is that a promise you're going to make? >> you have to do it. but it's awful. >> i know you want me to say something. >> i don't want you to say. i don't want to look naive. i don't want they've done to the republican party they want to arrest on no crime. they want to arrest the person that won the nomination and landslide, i will do everything in my power not to let, but this tremendous criminality here, what they're doing to me if, if it's going to continue, really not going to have much of a country left. it's really, it is weaponization. you call it lawfare, you call it. some people call it just warfare so now it's not just the metaphorical lawfare, but warfare against him. >> and by extension, his followers. meantime, the current president is in france commemorating the sacrifices thousands, maybe 80 years ago. and the real warfare they faced as they began pushing nazi invaders back. first and the beach heads at normandy. then finally to the gates of berlin. speaking today, he did not mention the former president by name. he president biden did however, say this about the threat to europe from bladder or putin. and he said the threat to freedom everywhere we're living at a time when democracy and more risk across the world than a point since the end. of world war ii, since these beaches were stormed. >> and 1944 now i have to ask ourselves, when we stand against tyranny, against evil, against crushing brutality of the iron fist. when we stand for freedom, we defend democracy we stand together my answer is yes and only can be yes democracy has never guaranteed every generation must preserve it. defended, and fight for it that's the test of the ages joining us now is biden harris national campaign co-chair and former new orleans mayor mitch landrieu. >> mirror landrieu prison. biden spoke about the threat of authoritarianism, preserving democracy without directly naming from president trump today do you think trump, if elected, would seek retribution, including going after president biden well, anderson, first of all, thank you for having me on this incredibly special day 20 years ago, i was standing in the very place where president biden was watching president bush and then french president jacques chiraq go through the same exercise of remembering perhaps the greatest day in history and aap president represented the united states of america on the world stage and reminded us once again that democracy is at risk both home and abroad. and he was very forceful about it and he was very clear. and he said many, many times that democracy is not free. you have to defend it you have to fight for it. and if we don't do that, then basically the burden falls and blood is spilled from youngest men and women who defend us and for anybody that has been over there, are seeing that have been omaha beach and seen the height that those kids scale to preserve freedom, you just your heart. not only breaks, but you sit an awesome wonder and one of the things the president has been trying to say to us, this is now his seven speech on the subject to talk about this tomorrow. there is that you have to preserve it at home and you have to deserve it preserve it abroad. now, we have a person running for president in the united states again, who is a twice impeach the president who is now a convicted felon, who has said that if he's present, the united states, he doesn't believe that he is conscripted by the very constitution that those young men and women die to preserve. and that he could put seal team six out to kill his political enemies. he's, he has, you had sean hannity on before who was trying begging him almost the same mr. president, please say that you're going to follow the law. you remember sean how did he actually did the interview? not too long ago when he said he'd be a dictator for a day. >> so this is what we know about donald trump and we keep trying to find a somewhat of a bright spot in the soul of this man. >> and he comes up dark every time. and we know that donald trump wakes up every day thinking about himself. then he thinks about hurting the people that hurt him. then he thinks about helping his rich friends. that's who we would elect. >> do you think he would actually go i have no doubt that he will i don't think that there is one iota he learned from roy cohn. >> if you hit him, he hit you back. the difference here is that joe biden doesn't have anything to do with any of these prosecution's relating to donald trump. the reason why this has never happened in history is because we've never had somebody so vino that has been so disrespectful of the rule blonde, the constitution that wants to be present in the united states. it is, we are a nation of laws, not of men. nobody is above the law in the united states of america, not even donald trump, although every day he wants to prove to us that he is and if the constitution is going to hold, if due process is going to hold, if the rule of law is going to hold, it has to take its course let me say this, notwithstanding the fact that donald trump is in fact a convicted felon and has more to come. the only thing that actually works is the people of america making a decision on election day. none of these cases are going to stop donald trump from becoming president. and if the people of america believe in democracy, believe in freedom, and i believe that they do. joe biden has good given them the opportunity to see it, to know it, to understand it. and two, once again, save america at this very perilous time because there, we don't act. it could get really bad. there was this moment today when ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy shared an embrace with their merits angle are veteran, i want to play that for our viewers. ukrainian president thank say, view he took his hat off. can you imagine yeah. yeah. can you imagine the humility of of that american who stormed those beaches and just put his life at peril and sought 10,000. of his fellow folks die that were there on that beach saying to this young man and who has been ferociously fighting putin, who by the way, today started defending donald trump. and trump said he'll end the war in ukraine really essentially, he'll give nato away and he'll give ukraine to putin. that is no way for the america who is a shining city on a hill that reagan talked about on the shoulders of what fdr talked about. that is not the america that we need donald trump's in isolationists. joe biden understands america's place in the world and that if we're not there, the preservation of democracy and freedom both abroad and at home is going to be at risk. what's at stake in this election? >> biden made a direct comparison between world war ii today and the war in ukraine saying we know the dark forces that these heroes fought against 80 years ago. they never fade aid do you think that's going to be a driving message in the biden campaign in the coming months well, i think democracy and freedom are driving message and again, america has always been that indispensable nation. >> today, mitch mcconnell actually parotid the president's talk because mitch mcconnell understands this as well. all do some other mainstream republican but you may recall that when the president was trying to get funding from ukraine, they'll whole bunch of very, very conservative maga folks held up the funding for ukraine. donald trump said he wants to decimate nato. those are the barriers between us and autocracy. and joe biden is standing in the breach right now on behalf of the american people, reminding us of the the irreplaceable place that america plays. and of course, you couldn't, you couldn't have anything more poignant than having these seniors, man who's this is probably the last commemoration to be that remember the greatest sacrifice that the people of america mma to save freedom in the world. there's incredible to see them. they're mitch landrieu. thank you for perspective now from to cnn political um, titers from the left and right respectively, van jones and david urban. david, i mean, do you agree with trump leaving the door open to prosecuting political opponents? do you think he do it now, listen first of all, just real quick. second, mitch landrieu, great, great guy, but man, i wish we had daniel dale on to fact check all the stuff he's saying. presidents never said he's going to send seal team six after here is political opponents were making this argument to the spread exactly it was illegal occupant donald trump. so donald trump never said that. you've heard he can shoot somebody on the street and his supporters, he didn't say that. okay. it did say that. understood. right. but but but mitch is just defending democracy. it keeping democracy free and keeping it alive i've been america. there's a quitter pi pull that just there's just out that shows in the state of georgia that the georgians trust donald trump to preserve democracy more than they trust joe biden if the democrats are going to run on abortion to democracy, that's their big underpinning. you gotta, you gotta vote for joe biden because the boogie man, donald trump's can still democracy from yeah well, the voters are buying it, at least the state of georgia. so i think interesting when you're see donald trump's because what he just went through, i think it's a lot of hyperbole. and as soon as he gets elected and he becomes the 47th president, united states, you'll be on the governing, governing is a full-time job, won't have time to pursue his group grievances is he is as he was talking about tonight, he saw me. he said, look, we're not going to go there van do who do you believe that governing is a full-time job for the former president and that he won't pursue group well, it wasn't the last time he spent a lot of time tweaking and a lot of time golfing and a lot of time going after folks, including calling the president ukraine and trying to screw joe biden, gotten peach for it. i mean, i don't i think wishful thinking on the part of my good friend. but what a contrast today. you have joe biden standing there in a great tradition of the american people defending freedom on the world stage you saw as the linskey risking his life is country's standard against fascism. and then you have from putin, and then you have donald trump. just mad and mountains in an upset with everybody and won't take off the table that he will go after his opponent and listen what he said, what he said was there is massive criminality here that's what he accuses america's law enforcement of. he accuses american law enforcement, department of justice, american law enforcement prosecutors of being mapped it's of criminals that should send a shiver down the spine of everybody because that's the kind of talk that an authoritarian rolls out when he wants to discredit law enforcement and bringing not law and order, but law and and tyranny. that's really what he's laying the groundwork for. rhetorically, listen to what he says and look away. you did last time and you should be nervous here, but to be fair, van i do i think he's talking about the bite you've taken about biden's family and hunter biden and jim biden, i think the biden family writ large. i think that's what he was referring to, not the department of justice in that clip but i mean, he's called them stop and it's called the department of justice bi gestapo. i mean, it's not as if there's not a long track record of him going after this and maybe there's one particular thing and anderson, i think that again, if the fbi showed up and raid jackets at your house, armed they did it our largo to come after some documents and paper boxes. i mean, he's not i actually wouldn't have a problem. the fbi showed in my house. i would let them in. and by the way, if there no because i know what now like andrew said, you saw the video cub on america saw that they know it was ridiculous. it's ridiculous the way they showed up what did they david is going to be he gave they gave them advance warning. they i mean, this was not a raid. i mean, come on, david, you know better than that. i'm remember when you were on the air? >> well, great. thank never mind. >> van i mean, i want to play with former president recently told fox news about hillary clinton he famously said regarding hillary clinton, lock her up, you declined to do that as president, i beat her. it's easier when you win and they also luck. >> and i felt and i could have done it, but i felt it would have been a terrible thing. and then this happened to me and so i may feel differently about i can tell you i can i'm not sure i can answer the question hill ritalin, i didn't say lock her up, but the people don't say lock her up, lock her up. okay of course. >> he didn't say lock her up multiple times. obviously. but to david's point, he didn't have hillary guard temp tab, hillary clinton prosecuted as president should people take comfort in that well, i mean, i guess, but he also just took it back. >> you feel like it's not saying like no back season, i mean, down is saying maybe that he should and so people should feel maybe less comforted going forward one great things about david urban. i know him very well when you see him dealing with young people, and he deals with young people from the pores backgrounds. he is about personal responsibility and that's why he's respected by republican, democratic cares about kids who cares about values, and he doesn't eat, doesn't care about color the problem is, when, now, when you're talking about donald trump, his personal responsibility to give those documents back that he had when there was asked, you should hold the same standard. you all these kids, david, he should again, those documents back and they would never gotten write it i just want to say i've one standard for everybody, rich, poor, big vaults, little folks, black, white. and that's how you've ordinarily men don't change it now for donald trump no, i don't listen. anderson, i don't disagree. look, trump should turn the documents over. i don't disagree with that. i've we're talking about whether the trump feels the way it does about the fbi. and i'm saying that he he feels the way he does because of that raid. i'm not saying he shouldn't turn those documents over. of course, you should have. if if the department of justice asked for document you have your possession, turn them over van jones, david irvin. >> thank you and if you don't if you don't, you get rated got me up next. >> see bannon's journey, which is about to include four months behind bars. and later david mentioned georgia women voters, they're from across the political spectrum make of donald trump's felony conviction in hunter biden's trial, and whether one or the other well affect their choice. in november, we'll be right back when the competition is a nuclear competition, spying is extraordinarily important the russians were trying to spy on us we were spying on them it's very difficult to determine whom you can trust i was study frankly everything and got out of control this is a war. >> the secret was the secrets and spies, a nuclear game sunday at ten on cnn selling your home realtor.com, real choice selling. lets you choose from multiple agent proposals. because when agents competing, u win, don't all have to do that. not really. trust the number one app real estate professionals trust, download the realtor.com app today don't know. >> could i needed this nothing on netflix max. >> now we don't miss a thing before we had to pretend we'd seen all these shows we're not really good actors. >> i found it so pure. >> the pirates. >> all i could do was not say so good for now i wish edge of my i don't know. >> now that we have horizon, we can stop pretending here. >> disney plus hulu, espn plus netflix and max all for just $20 a month only on verizon. my turn. >> good morning. >> with though collapse. good. >> good yeah. they'll collects chewy fruit bites for fast and gentle constipation relief in as little as 30 minutes, making your good morning. >> even better with all galactose ocd is more than what you see on tv. >> and in the movies, it comes with unrelenting intrusive images thoughts, and urges. if you have ocd and need help, you can get better with specialized treatment. got to know who's cd.com to learn more. >> we had to take our old gas heating that was a huge project. i was so overwhelmed because i started contacting people off of anjie to work with people that knew what they were doing. it was a game changer get started today at andy.com i see what works for us makes it less contrast so you can rise from pain. i see liberty mutual customize my car insurance, then i save hundreds with all the money i saved. i thought i'd by stilts being so tall definitely has its advantages you go ghetto high grade, you go yep there it is here we go. i guess it also has some disadvantages yes, it does only pay for what you need i don't want you to move. i'm gonna miss you so much. you realize we'll have internet waiting for us at the new place, right?
