imagine that he'll be armed to do that, but in service of the message which i think is what was one thing that biden is very good at staying focused on the bigger picture. >> we shall see and thanks thanks to our panel. thank you for joining us. i'm on a roger cnn news central starks, right now the preparation began the first presidential debate of 2024, which will be hosted right here on cnn. >> a little more than a week away. and president biden, donald trump ramping up their attacks on each other already. a sweeping pardons for more than 175,000 marijuana convictions, who is affected by this history? historic move. >> and then 15,000 acres burned so far and more to come. >> wildfires raging with weather conditions, poised to make things even worse. for kate is out today. i'm john berman with sarah sidner, and this is cnn news central they're attacking each other or with just ten days to go until the first-price the ventral debate right here on cnn and president biden and donald trump zeroing in on november today, donald trump expected to meet with house speaker mike johnson and congressmen richard hudson, the chairman of the national republican congressional committee at mar-a-lago and the biden campaign escalating its tax against donald trump with a new 50 $50,000,000 tv ad push rolling out in battleground states, taking on the former president's character and felony conviction 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, job biden's been working in that contrast there, cnn's arlette saenz and alayna treene joining us now, are let to you first, please give us some sense of what this big ad buy and what the campaign is doing now, as we lead up to this first presidential early, early debate this year well sarah, this new ad is significant as it marks the first time the biden campaign is using former president donald trump's legal woes in television advertisements. it comes as biden has really looking to sharpen his attacks against trump heading into that first debate, just ten days away. now, in this they're trying to frame this election as a choice between a convicted criminal who is out looking out for himself with former president, or with president biden, who in his work for the american people, this ad will run as part of a $50,000,000 ad push key battleground states hoping to reach voters heading into this debate and the november election. and it all comes just from after months of the biden campaign really refraining from commenting on trump's legal saga in any way, but really that change in the days after trump's conviction and they've leaned into that conviction to further argue that he is unfit for office. now this new ad push comes just a few days after president biden teamed up with former president obama and some hollywood stars for a major fundraiser out in los angeles that brought in 30 million for the campaign. that's a democratic record when it comes to fund racers and at that event, biden and obama and others really tried to issue stark warnings about what a second trump presidency could hold. biden really zeroed in on the impact. it could have on the supreme court saying that trump likely would have the opportunity to possibly a 0.2 supreme court justices a further changing the balance of the court going forward. and the president also criticized what he has seen as supreme court that is currently out of step. take a listen to a bit of what president biden had to say that the biden campaign released in the supreme court has never been as out of kilter as it is today. i mean, never. i taught constitutional law for nine years. this guy knows more about it than most look in fact to the matter is that this has never been a court that's been this far out of step so biden really trying to further draw these contrast with trump, especially as that second or first debate is just ten days away, president biden is expected to head to camp david towards the end of the week, where he is expected the huddle with his advisors and preparation for this debate, marking the first time that the two men will face off in-person at podiums for since they're debates back in 2020. >> so the biden campaign really trying to use this time leading up to this debate to drive these contrast arguments. including releasing that very stark add, leaning into the fact that trump was convicted and that criminal hush money trial yeah. >> arlette is it's proper to note that president biden himself has really shied away from talking about the criminal cases against donald trump. and now we're seeing the campaign really take this on. an interesting twist. first, let me go to alayna treene now give us some sense of what this meeting is all about between donald trump and the house speaker, as well as the head of the national republican congressional committee. >> well luck. >> mike johnson and richard hudson two very big republican leaders in the house. they want this meeting because they want help with the months ahead that are going to be very difficult for i think many republicans who face several bitter primary battles. now what i find really interesting about this is of course a comes just days after donald trump made his return to dc, met with house and senate republicans promised to try and help get them reelected or help the candidates that they are hoping to put an office elected. and this is kind of him making good on that problem is by having this meeting with these two liters but what's also interesting is that donald trump, who used to be a kingmaker in many of these races, has surprisingly in some ways, stayed out of many of these very bitter primaries. now, in the past, donald trump has issued several endorsements. of course, he's still continuing to endorse in a series of key races however, the way that he is operating this cycle is very different from the past. and remember in 2022 donald trump endorsed a series of candidates that went on to ultimately lose on election day during the midterms. and so this is something that is weighed heavily. i know on donald trump's mind personally, but also on his teams. they've been very careful in who they want to endorse and not endorsing too much. now donald trump has said publicly and privately that that is because he is so preoccupied with his own election fight. however a big part of it as well as them being worried that he's going to put his support behind people who may not ultimately went. so what i'm told, this meeting will be about today is really striking at advising what donald trump can do to help the house republican conference, to help try and secure a majority in the fall, and definitely a bigger majority than they have now, because the other whole part of this meeting is donald trump wants allies in the house. if you were to win in november, he wants to stack the house and the house of congress with a series of allies that if he's elected, he can hit the ground running and knows that he will have people to support him in that fight. >> all right. alayna treene, al-furqan. thank you. to arlette saenz for that reporting and a reminder, jake tapper and dana bash will moderate the highly anticipated first meeting of president

john? good morning. an official say the suspect may have been facing some mental health challenges without providing any specifics local officials say the shooting appears very random because there was no connection to the victims. it'll happen saturday afternoon at a splash pad and the city of rochester hills, michigan located less than 30 miles north of detroit as families were enjoying a pleasant afternoon, as you described, the suspect got out of his car, walked up to the splash pad and opened fire when he was about 20 feet away. the suspect identified as 42-year-old michael nash,

dead at his home. officials say, there was no previous police contact or criminal record. the nine people shot by the suspect ranged in age from 4-years-old to 78 an eight-year-old boy and his 39-year-old mother are critical condition and seven others are in stable condition, including that boys 4-year-old brother, nash, that suspect was later found dead at the home he shared with his mother of an appearance self-inflicted gunshot wound. officials also found a rifle on the kitchen table. sheriff bouchard said, we may never know if nash intended to use that weapon to attack people i believe that because we had quit containment on him that if he had planned to do anything else and wouldn't surprise me because having that on the kitchen table is not an everyday activity. >> that there was probably something else. a second chapter, potentially those new tragedy has hit michigan especially hard. >> the community is still reeling from two other mass shootings last year in february, a gunman killed three michigan state university students and left five others critic, critically injured in 2021, a teenager killed four students at a high school in oxford, just 15 miles

catalyst moment, followed debate night in america begins june 27 at seven this morning, a wildfire north of los angeles has consumed nearly 15,000 acres so far and has forced 1,200 people to evacuate the post fire began saturday afternoon in gorman california and quick please spread due to high winds and dry conditions. as of sunday, cal fire is saying the blaze was only 2% contained. cnn's camila bernal is live from gorman, california. oh, my goodness. that wind is insane and that is really bad for firefighters. and the fire itself. let us know what's going on there right now hey, sarah, this really is the biggest problem for firefighters right now. >> the national weather service worker he said wind gusts of 60 to 70 miles per hour overnight. it is hard to stand here because the wind gust or so strong, we needed goggles you feel the wind just hitting you and that is also what is moving. all of these embers. here behind me and really all over this hi, or we've only seen it grow. now to nearly 15,000 acres. and we haven't seen containment numbers increasing. we're still at 2%. >> so you see some of the crew's here they are working right now to try to make those fire lines to try to keep this fire from growing. but it has been extremely difficult over the last 24 hours. we have been out here and we've seen the bruise on the ground and in the air. we've seen many, many water drops yesterday. they were trying to do those water drops through a voigt, the fire spreading even further. they're already about 1,200 people under evacuation orders. and many others under evacuation morning. so authorities really telling people to have their stuff packed and ready to go in case it happens at a moment's notice. but again, really the biggest problem that they're having having is this one. >> you can see it, it is impossible to avoid and so they're hoping that he dies down further in the de. >> but the problem is that we are expecting that red flag warning spreading throughout the date day-to-day, higher temperatures later on as well. so that's also not going to make things easier for these firefighters that are working around the clock. sarah have they given you any sense of containment? i mean, this is when i see that fire, that wind blowing like that, having covered these alongside you for many years this could be a catastrophe. where are they and trying to contain this it's hard to hear you, sarah, right now, but i think you said where are they in terms of trying? >> to contain it? as i mentioned, it was just 2% containment. and so what we were told by firefighters yesterday is that it was going to take some time. they knew that overnight things we're going to become a lot more difficult for them. and so when i talked to a firefighter yesterday, they told me asked me tomorrow how things are going to me because they were so concerned about the conditions overnight and the conditions in terms of the terrain, there's a lot of dry terrain and so because it rains so much earlier in the year and then you have the heat coming in. things are dry and it's going to be easier for things to catch on fire and for these flames to spread. but again, it's just really hard to hear to stand because these wind gusts or so strong sarah. >> yeah. >> your picture says everything about the conditions that i know it's hard to fly in these conditions as well. i'm making their big problem. thank you to you and your crew out there maybe get to safety at this point. never know what's going to happen. thank you so much. i appreciate it. can be a lover now, they're live in lubbock, california. john wright, those wins just ferocious will get back. shamil is shortly because what's going on there is extraordinary in the meantime, tens of thousands of people are preparing for a new wave of sweltering temperatures for class forecast to climb into the high 90s and beyond. let's get right to cnn meteorologist allison chinchar. we're talking about a lot of people are going to be affected by this heat it is, it isn't just one region. >> i mean, when you look at the us, you're talking over 80% of the us population that we'll be looking at temperatures of 90 degrees or even higher. keep in mind some of those are looking at triple digit temperatures. so this is really going to impact a lot of people. now, for most people, it's maybe 510
