unprovoked war of aggression in ukraine ambassador julie smith, thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> we do appreciate your time. we are getting fresh reporting from the fire lines, fast-moving wildfires out of california, a new our of cnn news central starts right now intense whipping when threatened to fuel a dangerous wildfire raging this morning in california, hundreds forced to evacuate and 15,000 acres already burned also, a weekend of deadly shootings across the united states in michigan's families ran for their luck hi is i after gunfire erupted at a community splash pad nine people injured. >> there. the gunman's motive under investigation this morning and the us surgeon general says he wants to see warnings on social media like the ones you see on cigarettes adding to the pressure on lawmakers to protect children on social media apps. >> kate bolduan out today, i'm sarah saga, john berman, and this is cnn news central >> a 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, joe biden's been working joining me now is the biden campaign co-chair and former mayor of new orleans, mitch land row. >> thank you so much for being here this morning. i want to talk about that. as i said it's great to see you. i want to talk about the ad first because for all this time as these cases have been coming forward president biden has really shied away from saying anything about the justices. and because donald trump has been attacking him saying this has all his fault, he's the one that's pushed these forward why change this now? >> well, first of all, it's not a change when the case was in litigation, the president didn't have any comment about it clearly, this was a case brought by an independent district attorney and there's no there are no facts or evidence to support donald trump's attempt to take the focus off of themselves. but what this ad is about is about showing the american people about the issue that's going to decide this campaign wisdom courage, character. you have a choice between two people. you have somebody like joe biden who wakes up every day. he's fighting hard for american citizens. he's working hard to lower prices. he's building 56,000 projects across the country. and in the meantime, you have another stark choice one of the most dramatic stark choices in the history of our country. somebody who is in fact a convicted felon of 34 felonies also, most of the people around him when he ran for office before have been convicted, are in jail 17 of his cabinet members have now said they won't vote for him, including his vice president. he's been bankrupt six times. he's been determined is it going to face in a couple of months and you're going to see the clear difference between the two and the debate that you guys are going to host in just a couple of weeks mich, it sounds like this is going to be a big theme as you would expect it to be during a presidential debate. i do ask you about polling. we heard from president biden when he was talking to aaron breton burnett, that he doesn't really believe the political policy was talking specifically about the economy. let's listen to what he said the polling data has been wrong all along when i started this administration people were saying are kinda be a collapsing the economy. >> we have the strongest economy in the world. let me say it again. in the world all right, so he talked about that and then we have some polling that has come out that our data reported harry end and pointed out that for the black vote, president biden, they're showing he's losing support according to the pollsters that donald trump could get 21% of the black vote is that being ignored? >> is the campaign ignoring that? are you worried about it well, first of all, it's gonna be a very close election. >> every one of every one of them is secondly, there's no, there's no universe in which donald trump is going to get 21% of the black vote. that's never going to happen. and so it's not that we're not worried about that, but we're fighting i'm very, very hard for every vote and the records of each of these men is clear in this regard, polling is always important, but it is true. and i think you guys have to recognize that it has been vastly wrong for a lot of time, especially in the recent past. so it's not that you don't care about it. the second thing is this. president biden has it's in fact created 15 million jobs since he has been an office, donald trump lost 2.5 million jobs, the greatest loss of jobs in the history of the country for any president and accept herbert hoover. and so we're going to continue to tell that truth because it is the strongest economy in the world. however, prices are still too high. and that is why the president is really working hard to fight cope creations, to really make sure that we bring down costs for prescription drugs and to do the work that is necessary to give every american a little bit of breathing room. that is a message that we have to take to the american people and we're not going to stop talking about how well america is doing in this particular time. i don't know why donald trump keeps tearing down america. everything he says about this country would make you believe that we've gone through a hellhole. all you need to do is travel around this country and see the unbelievable things that are going on. that's not to say that we don't have problems and we have challenges. that's why the person who sits in the oval office is important. and that's why wisdom, character, and judgment are necessary. because if you're the kind of guy that make decisions in the dark, that only help you and hurt everybody else. that's not the kind of guy you want and sitting behind the resolute desk looked like at the economy, is doing well, by all measures. yes, the prices are high. there was also the infrastructure real, it was pushed through that some republicans in their states have been touting not getting the credit according to joe biden, but metallic their citizens that this is a great thing. look at the roads, look at the bridge's, we're doing things. but the messaging doesn't seem to be hitting voters. why do you think that isn't? how do you think that needs to change well first of all, that's not necessarily true we're not at election day. >> we still have time to get there. and of course, over time, people will see those things. they see the incredible work that was done to restore i95 or to clear the channel in baltimore or to get the highway backup and operating in pittsburgh and the competence of elected officials as a result of the work the joe biden did with governors. they see part of the 56,000 projects that are helping them have clean water, clean air, high-speed internet, and building all of this infrastructure 15.5 million jobs will continue to resonate. but we've been through a very, very tough time. remember, when joe biden took over, the economy was in a freefall. donald trump was asking people to drink clorox. thousands of people were dying. this president rescued this country and actually started the recovery. and we're well into it right now, but that is no reason to actually hide when you created more jobs and most presidents have done in that term or not to talk about how strong america is, or how well we're doing vis-a-vis all of our international partners joe biden, lead that effort primarily because he gets up every day thinking about people donald trump, as you know, you know this, i don't have to sell this year. that guy gets up, he thinks about himself. he looks in the mirror and he decides who he needs to go punch in the face because he's mad out of about something somebody resigned every day when he was in his administration, you have 17 cabinet members that left donald trump's administration that said, please don't vote for him again. including his vice president. that's never happened before. and as we continue to tell that story in america, the american people are really wise. they know that the choice they're about to make is going to have consequences. i didn't reach far into the future and we haven't yet started talking about the pain that the supreme court has put on people and how it's going to get that much worse when donald trump gets another choice for that court or maybe even too much, i just have to ask you. i know i've been wrapped, but i have to ask you about what trump challenged joe biden, on which he wants them to take a cognitive test, where we have a very short bit of time, but he did he tried to remember the name of his own, dr. donald trump putting any message while he's challenging mr. biden, what do you make that? >> i think donald trump is a joke. i mean, when this guy went his lips move and he's lying. and then when he tries to confuse, when he tries to accuse somebody else's of speaking improperly. he can't keep two thoughts in his mind. i want to encourage americans to go listen to donald trump's full speeches and try to put that word spaghetti it together. and i wonder why anybody is questioned at joe biden's mental acuity. donald trump can't string two sentences together. i mean, it's the biggest joke in the world my president is going to show up on time on task and he is going to give it to donald trump next week, he shows up. he's done his job. you just saw him criss cross the continent three times with world leaders and he's back home getting the work of american now because that's what he does every day. and the proof is in the pudding. we have the receipts, 15.5 million jobs, 56,000 projects going on in economy that's stronger than any other economy in the world. >> and taken it too big, corporate america to reduce their prices because inflation has come down from 9% to 3%. mitch landrieu, i think you've got all the talking points in there today. just fyi thank you so much, justice, truth, justice truth. sara is all objective me, harry harry will fact check you, but i know most of what you said. >> definitely true. thank you so much. john leonard. thanks to mayor was talking about the presidential debate heat, which is now just ten days away. that's next week right here on cnn. so much at stake today, donald trump meets with the house speaker and another key republican at mar-a-lago. cnn's alayna treene is with us. what's going on here with these meetings later? >> well, that's right john donald trump will be meeting today. with house speaker mike johnson, as well as the chairman of the national republican congressional committee, richard hudson. and luck, i think this meeting is very important for both sides. what the two house leaders want is for donald trump to help get their members and their candidates elected as fall and donald trump has some agendas of his own, which i will walk through. but first i just want to talk about the house races, so we know that donald trump in the past has been a kingmaker in many of these key battleground races. and for many house members, however, in 2022, many of donald trump's candidates who he endorse forced went on to ultimately lose in the midterm elections. and so this is something that i know has weighed very heavily both on donald trump's mind personally, but also that of his team. they have been endorsing far fewer people. this cycle, they say publicly it's because donald trump is focused on his election, but my, conversations with the trump campaign. a lot of it comes down to them not wanting to support candidates that could ultimately lose. so that is part of what they will be discussing today. the other part of this is donald trump. wants to stack the house with people who are going to be very loyal to him and who will help him fight the democrats now, we have some reporting that in the aftermath of his conviction in new york on 34 counts of falsifying business records. donald trump called up mike johnson to vent to him about this and wanting republicans to do more on his behalf to fight democrats against what he thinks is weaponization of the government. and this is going to be a key part of this conversation today. because if donald trump can get enough people in office who will help him, if they can secure a large enough majority in the house. this fall. and if donald trump were to win, they can do two things. one, they can help him with his 2025 agenda. they can also help him wage war on the democrats, which donald trump is very much obsessed with doing at this time so a lot of topics i think that will get discussed today at mar-a-lago, john lead attorney and great to see you this morning. thank you very much in that debate, the first presidential debate right here on cnn, it is next thursday night at 9:00 p.m. eastern, june 27. the days so close to debate, of course raided by jake tapper and dana bash do not miss their all right. >> oh, wildfire, about 70 miles north of los angeles, has consumed nearly 15,000 acres so far. and as far as 1,200 people to evacuate so far, the post fire began saturday afternoon, gorman, california quickly spreading due to high winds and really dry conditions. so far cal fire saying it's only 2% contained. cnn's camila bernal is live from the area lubeck, california, where you can see those wins whipping right now hey, sarah. >> yeah, it really has not died down. the national weather service predicted win or gust front 60 to 70 miles an hour. and it's likely what we're experiencing right now. i don't i have a wind gauge, but you can see the wind just hitting not just us, but also the fire and the embers. and that's really the concern here because the wind gusts can pick up those embers and fly them really across highways, across streets and directly into people's homes sometimes, you know, that's why they already have those 1,200 people under evacuation orders. there are many others under evacuation warnings. and the thing that they've been telling us throughout the day, all day yesterday was that people needed to be ready because you just never know how quickly these flames could spread. we know that firefighters right now are trying to do everything they can to keep that fire line, to keep the weight from continuing to push the fire and they've been using air resources. we saw a number of airdrops yesterday it's over and over again because we are near a lake, those resources were available. so that was great for those firefighters who are communicating with the cruise on the ground two were inside of all of this bush and this terrain trying to cut some of it out with chainsaws and hand tools. it is 24/7. our work but today of course, the problem is that they're up against this when sarah about wind, we can see you don't need a wind gauge for that. that is incredibly dangerous for that fire. plus, we're looking at some pictures of helicopters dropping, some of the retardant there and they it cannot fly usually an almost hurricane-force winds if it gets to that 70 miles per hour, camila bernal. thank you to you and your team for being out there for us this morning. john camila bernal is a human when gauge out
