trump, a top biden ally, congressman james clyburn, joins us this the trump classified documents case disk what that could mean for the case against trump? and revealing new financial disclosures were just filed by us supreme court justices documenting clarence thomas is donor paid trip to bali. several justices lucrative book deals and high price concert tickets bianna a gave for justice ketanji brown, jackson. welcome to our viewers here in the united states get around the world. i'm wolf blitzer, a you're in the situation room we're getting global reaction this hour to president biden's newest appeal to preserve democracy abroad and at home, cnn spread plank of the standing by frehse and berlin. the first that's going to cnn's kayla tausche. she's in paris. failure. the president spoke get point to hook the cliffs scaled by american troops. very brave pave american troops on d-day exactly 80 years ago. what was his message well, if it was a forceful message made even more powerful by the imagery that surrounded the president today. >> bright blue skies, turquoise waters in the english channel. he was flanked by utah and omaha beaches where those d-day troops came ashore on june 6th. a top those cliffs that those army rangers scaled to secure those nazi artillery and overlook positions. and essentially represented the beginning of the end of world war ii. and president biden in his message today, said that those young men, those veterans, risks doll in 1944 and all he was asking, all they were asking the audience was just to remember why they did it. here's the president you're not asking us to give or risk our lives but there are asking us to care for others and our country more than ourselves. >> they're not asking us to do their job they're asking us to do our job to protect freedom in our time, to defend democracy, to stand up aggression abroad and at home. >> rafat or something bigger than ourselves in that speech, biden evoked ronald reagan, who delivered a strikingly similar message from that exact 0.40 years ago when the cold war was underway and when americans were frustrated with us intervention overseas after vietnam, biden isn't a very similar position, but in making this speech, he's also trying to strike a contrast with donald trump, his predecessor and gop opponent who has threatened to withdraw support both from ukraine and from nato. and that contrast, biden will seek to continue to extend throughout the weekend when he visits a world war i cemetery here in paris, that trump declined to visit when he visited a few years ago, will jarkayla, the president, president biden, also issued an apology to president zelenskyy of ukraine. tell us about that well, the two liters we're meeting today to discuss this state of play in ukraine where the country is just beginning to use american made weapons to strike inside i'd russia, the president was going to be getting an update on that strategy and announced a new $225 million aid package for ukraine that included ammunition, artillery, and air defense systems that had long been in the works, but had been delayed because it took six months for congress to greenlight the newest aid package that happened back in april bro and it's set ukraine back on the battlefield, which is why biden apologized. >> here's how he said it walk away from you guys for weeks no, i was going to surge a funny because we had trouble getting the bill that we as a pass at the money shubi, some of our very conservative members who were only that. >> but we got it done finally but with no end in sight for war in ukraine, more money is expect to be needed in europe, there is little financial wherewithal in the u.s. >> the political wherewithal is growing thin. so next week at the g7 summit allies are going to be discussing a new plan to unlock up to $50 billion in alone for ukraine, for them to fund some of their needs for the longer term. and that's something that president biden and president macron will also be discussing during this state visit tomorrow, wealth. >> kayla tausche in paris, verse, kayla, thank you very much. want to go to cnn's fred pleitgen? right now. he's joining us for berlin. fred, how is president biden's message today being received by allies and adversaries well, first of all, by allies, i think extremely important and one of the ones of course was the person that president biden was sitting. >> what volodymyr zelenskyy, i think that apology especially is very important to the ukrainians. will one of the things that ukraine's have been telling us and the many times that we'd been on the ground with them as they were starving, they say for those us artillery shells as that aid was caught up in congress, is they say, look for the ukrainians. this was all measured in lives. they say potentially thousands of ukrainians were killed because they didn't have enough ammunition to fight back the russians. now of course, other allies he is also reassured by the words of president biden. you look, for instance, at the french who are now promising mirage fighter jets to the ukrainians. but also where i am right here, germany, olaf scholtz of the german chancellor saying that he also liked president biden is now going to let the ukrainians use german weapons to strike into russian territory also, on a limited base as well, very different the adversaries, of course, vladimir putin, also a big day for him. she had a big speech and panel at the st. petersburg economic forum, which is extremely important for the russian leader. and there he reiterated two things. again, obviously very angry about president biden's words, very angry because the us allowing the ukrainians to strike and russian territory now saying that for the russians, they say that they don't know why they don't have the right to, for instance, give adversaries of the us similar weapons to threaten american assets, not just in the us, but of course also around the world as well. all the russian leader did say wolf, that's something like that was not imminent then we heard another thing from a vladimir putin where he once again parotid russia's military arsenal and its nuclear arsenal, saying that russia has a lot more nuclear weapons as he put it, then the united states and then the europeans, of course you once again said right now there's no eminent use of a new clear weapons and it's something that the russians obviously don't want to do. but it is something where he is trying to project that military power that the russians have. of course, the russians very angry by some of the things that president biden has said while in normandy was moment and dave fred pleitgen in berlin. thank you very much joining us now, a national co-chair of the biden reelection campaign congressman james clark fiber and democrat of south carolina founder smith. thanks very much for joining us. how far does president biden's message on democracy go when trump is still leading biden in several a battleground state polls and just raked in a massive fundraising haul off of this felony conviction well, thank you very much for having me i think that we're going to have a lot of ebbs and flows throughout this ban on the way to november 5th, i am not all that concerned about the polling taking place now, i remember the poland over there in maryland a few weeks ago when the candidate who's down five and 70 and went back 13 there's something going on with polling today that i don't think we have taken into account if you're pulling people with landlines and there's so many people without laying leinz i'm not too sure we can get accurate poll and i know this what i keep hearing about the loss of support among african americans by joe biden is not when i'm hearing you want to go into barbershops? as i go into churches. my son, it halls. i don't hear that. so i'm not sure what's going on with polling today, but i think that joe biden is in a very good place with people much better place and people saying what congressman, a new fox news poll shows president biden and trump tied in virginia, virginia, a state that biden won decisively back in 2020 biden's support among black voters had dropped by 70% relative to 2020 and trump's went up by almost exactly that amount. >> so how do you explain that congressman? >> i think it's faulty polling. i just don't see anything else. if you telling me that joe biden as lost 17 points from what he got with akron americans are last time out. i don't see you feel that in that trump is going up by 17 points i don't see that either. i just believe there's something going on here that we are not able be able to deal with until this election gets after labor day, but don't you think a congressmen that president biden needs to do something more to cement his support with black voters, not just in virginia, but across the country. >> i think joe biden to do exactly what it needs to do i don't know how are you doing. thank more. maybe we have surrogates are not doing a good enough job out here. but you look at his proposals, you look at what's happening with all the numbers job recent more than anybody expected? but to be we look at what he's done with student loan debt. you look back what he's done with legislatively, successes, had joe biden can't do much more than already is being done well, we've got to do hopefully, is get people to understand that style should not trump substance and every time i talk to people, they tell me well he doesn't seem to have the integer that i want to see well, how about the guy? but the energy and with no substance i'd much rather have substance than style. i know that's what you are dealing with here congressman, in another sensitive issue, the end of lacp is now calling for president biden to immediately stop weapons shipments to israel for the enormous civilian death toll in gaza. >> how much is president biden jeopardizing the support of key parts of his coalition over his handling of this war well i think that all of us in the nwa cp and i hope to life membership and then wtp abbe meet with my state nwa cp tomorrow night i think that we all concerned about what's going on israel i'm won't go as far as to say that the president of the latter relate withhold funding because i've said to people, we want israel to be able to defend itself and if you want them to defend themselves, then you've got to be very careful how you cut off so i want the experts to do what they know how to do, and hopefully get us to where we need to be so you cut off the aid, then they defend themselves, then you say, well, you should not have done it. >> but that fast as we've talked about enough, be understand. so there's got to be a balance and evolve the interest here. and i think most people are in then wsup understand that congressman jim clyburn. thanks very much for joining us thank you very much for having me. and just ahead, donald trump refuses to back down from his threat to seek revenge against his opponents if he returns to the white house, former trump white house communications director anthony scaramucci will weigh in on that and more right after a quick break stay with us you're in the situation room the increase in wildfires is exponential uncontrollable with overwhelming consequences, the need to do something is urgent slightly. her with we have schreiber sunday night sorry, it wasn't ban here. and i keep mine is the ct is encouraging intrapreneurship on all levels every time i'm traveling out of up. dave, come back up and see the change the bid. some things are always emerging i feel just myself when i'm going out with diabetes, i'm going to do it's that i want to do and i'm by rows as a woman is just here, abu dhabi is my home doctors recommend coli stool softener, four, gentle dependable relief from constipation. >> it's so gentle. doctors even recommended during pregnancy and after surgery, coleus increases water in the stool making it softer, so it's easier to go. no harsh laxatives, cramping, restraining colleagues today at america's beverage companies are bottles might still look the same, but they can be remade in a whole new way thanks to you. we're getting bottles back and we've developed a way to make new ones from 100% recycled plastic, new bottles made using no new plastic. >> you'll be seeing more of these bottles in more places. >> and when we get more of them back we can use less new plastic. >> bottles are made to be remade artificial intelligence is transforming agriculture, advancing life-saving healthcare, and strengthening small businesses this game changing technology is supporting every sector of america's economy. >> today, america leads the world in ai because are companies are invented testing billions in this new technology. but china wants to leap ahead of america and become the global leader in technology. are leaders in congress need to stand up for it innovation and protect america's competitive edge. you call them caramels or caramels, whatever you call them, caramels.com makes 26 mouthwatering flavors that are the freshest and softest caramels ever produced, try them for yourself or someone you love, go today to caramels.com and see for yourself engineered a spontaneous, a dual action formula with the active ingredients of viagra and sialic. >> faster acting and long-lasting grabbed the moment get started at row row.com slash sparks to get your yard done, right?

>> for a higher purpose published with us christian faith publishing is an author friendly publisher who understands it. your labor is more than just a book color scan for your free riders guide, 804, 551827 tonight, donald trump is binding for campaign gold in california with a fundraiser in beverly hills, the former president turned felon on a west coast swing right now as he tries to capitalize that, as criminal conviction along the way, he's defending his threat to seek revenge against opponents. >> if voters send him back to the white yes listen to what trump told tvs, dr. phil retribution is going to be through success. >> we're going to make it very successful. we have to bring the country together. >> the word revenge is a very strong word, but maybe we have revenge through success, while revenge just take time, i will say that does and sometimes revenge can be justified. >> so i have to be honest, sometimes it can let's talk about this in more with former trump white house communications director anthony scaramucci. >> anthony, thanks very much for joining us. i know you've written a new book entitled from wall street to the white house and back the scaramucci guide to unbreakable resilience. there you see the cover right? there you heard trump's grievance politics amid president biden's defense of democracy on the world stage, what do you make of that split-screen well the problem, if i could be so candid with the wolf is at the president. >> president biden presents old and president trump, even though he's a few years younger than i am. presents more energetic and young. and so they campaign, the biden campaign, has to get their arms around that because the biden messaging is fantastic the biden legislative agenda has work he's done more for working class people, then donald trump did 2017 to 2021 but you've got an issue there. >> and unfortunately in our society now, these elections are popularity contests and not hiring decisions. >> and so they have to come up with a strategy to expand the net of the biden independence. and so less than dr. phil is a great guy i don't know what he charged for that therapy session with donald trump, but it was a therapy session. and laced underneath all of that double entendre because donald trump will say two things at once. >> and then his adversaries will pick up on one thing. >> and the people that are supporting and we'll pick up on another. and so he's saying he doesn't want revenge. revenge is success. and the other side of his mouth, he's letting people know, hey, i can't wait to get this job because i'm going to seek retribution through the justice system. >> he's also told friends of mine that have defended him in court. defense attorneys that he wants to use the fbi as like estoppel. he probably doesn't know what that means, but he has said that and so we have to hold them accountable for those things and if we do all of that president biden will win reelection it's all very scary are the words that he utters trump has a high-dollar fundraisers, you know, in beverly hills tonight on the heels of his massive may fundraising haul, it seems he's only raking in more and more cash after his felony conviction. explain that. why is that? >> well, i think some of that is is base responding to his words about the unevenness of the justice system. but i think there's a secondary underlying thing there and i hate to sound so cynical about it. >> but those people are doing a venn diagram analysis of the election and they're buying a call option on donald trump. if he wins, then they're not on his persecution list of course of joe biden wins joe biden doesn't have a persecution list. >> and the system stays status quo. and so this is one of those weird things is weird calculation. >> the money being i'm throwing around for those billionaires is not a lot of money for them. it's a lot of money to the average american. but it's sort of a placeholder if you will. in the event of a trump victory. now, what i would say to those people is be careful because you may get what you asked for this is a guy that could destabilize our international leinz this is a guy that can threaten our democracy. this is a guy that 40 of his closest working associates, including the vice president of the united states, is telling you openly how dangerous he is and so it's a real superficial analysis on their part but wolf honestly, i have been there and i did make that superficial analysis and i made that mistake and there's always seems are always a rotisserie of people that are willing to get on the trump carousel, which starts out lovey, dovey, and ends with betrayal and disassociation anthony, let's quickly talk about tiktok for a moment after trying to ban or sell the app as president trump is now saying he would never do that. >> listen and watch this we're going to make our greater than ever before. and i appreciate all your support, you and you'll never ban tiktok. that's for sure. i wouldn't ever been what do you think is behind this about face is this employee to win over a younger voters? >> what do you think? >> yeah, it's all of that, but what i don't understand is the free pass he g
