>> i've run next, heading for a major meeting. new reporting tonight on how closely the white house is watching poops trip. and this face-to-face plus obama fighting back, saying a viral video that republicans claim is a clear example of president biden i'm freezing up is not what it appears. are white house reporter who was in the room as outfront and social media. >> the new smoking surgeon general tonight calling for warning labels on facebook, tiktok, and instagram. is it enough? surgeon general dr. vague murthy is my guests. let's go out front good evening i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. the breaking news, putin's a power trip. so the russian president is tonight just hours away from arriving in north korea tonight touting an unbreakable partnership in new comments just released putin telling and worth korean newspaper that the russian north korean alliance is based on principles of equality, mutual respect, and trust. putin bettering up kim as the north korean president rolls out the red carpet for putin. let's just show you some new satellite images. what appears to be as far as we can see. so this is pyongyang large military parade preparations going on in the capital grandstands are growing up, going up, you can see those sort of along the edge construction taking place. and one of the main squares in the city as well and this partnership newly close, is cemented in one key thing taking down the united states. >> look no farther than what russian state television is pushing tonight amelia will billions of people would be happy to stand in line to get the opportunity to strike the united states today the mother's ideal for conducting nuclear their strikes against nato contrast we only have one target, the continental territory the us, that i get no nuance or ambiguity there. and state state-controlled television in north korea saying the us and other hostile forces are bound to meet unforeseen disaster. so you hear all that rhetoric, right? but that rhetoric is actually turned into video. we've seen nearly identical simulations of nuclear annihilation of the united states. >> look for yourself what they've shown on russian state media television is on the left and on the right is what you see in north korea. these are simulations of us city is going up in a giant mushroom cloud of nuclear annihilation. >> nuclear strikes taking out us cities. it's grotesque, and the russian north korean military partnership is deepening now beyond rhetoric and video to reality, kim paid putin a visit last year, touring several secretive space and military facilities at one point, toasting putin and vowing to have him back and what he called putin's quote, sacred struggle against the band of evil in the west. >> and just three months ago, north korea tv showed kim and his daughter we're back in pyongyang riding in a luxurious new limousine. limo that was a gift from putin. >> and on russian state television. >> now they are fawning over kim do you will put in the mazzulla dicta in the west there persistently calling him a dictator no. >> our attitude is different i'm kim jong the light of the nation and this relationship is now affecting the war in ukraine. just a short time ago, putin spoke to a north korean newspaper, so he's giving all this access to them, right? and he said, quote, we highly appreciate the dprk's strong support for the russian special military operation in ukraine and russia is relying on north korea in ukraine make no doubt about it. i mean, according to south korea, north korea since 6,700 containers of equipment to putin, those could be filled with more than 3 million rounds of artillery shells, more than 500,000 rounds of multiple rocket launchers. they're also north korean missiles being used in return, the white house believed it's putin may offer north korea fighter jets surface to air missiles, armored vehicles, and more. let us, washington growing increasingly concerned tonight what we are concerned about trevor is the deepening relationship between these two countries. >> there could be some reciprocity here that could affect security on the korean peninsula kayla tausche is outfront live outside the white house. >> i want to begin though, with will ripley live and taiwan and will another kim, pete and putin meeting now less than a year after the last one writing it had been a several year break before that, they appear to be growing much closer because they need each other, aaron, at least for now, putin wants weapons and ammunition for his war on ukraine. kim wants cash and military expertise that could help his spy satellite and missile program to make his ballistic missiles potentially more accurate and a potential strike on the united states. and of course, putting in camp in both have the shared goal of taking down the west, especially the us the north korean capital pyongyang, preparing a supersized socialists welcome for russian president vladimir putin, a pariah in the free world, and kim jong un's world invincible comrade in arms were that's cheap. putin don't north korean propaganda praising putin's first pyongyang trip in 24 years he met kim's father and 2000 months after becoming president, kim jong-un was still a teenager. >> moscow pyongyang ties today. the strongest since the cold wore a grave and growing threats say seoul and washington they accused kim of supplying weapons to putin's army and ukraine, in exchange for advanced military technology possibly boosting kim's ballistic missile and spy satellite programs which could make kim's growing nuclear arsenal more accurate, experts warn for years, north korea has been threatening to use nukes against the us and the event of war in april, kim was quoted in state media. now is the time to be more thoroughly prepared for war than ever before. the relationship really is built on a transactional relationship, not on me control trust. the north korean leaders, lavish armored limousine, a gift from the russian strongman, a symbol of kim's strategic pivot away from failed us diplomacy with former president donald trump, which experts say left kim furious and humiliated so far it seems like the doors shut and i would say that for north korea and for kim jong on, the real message is beware of betrayal, leaving president joe biden with very little leverage, to pursue that fading prospect of north korean denuclearization satellite images of pyongyang in recent days, she'll possible preparations for a massive celebration. >> the kremlin unphased by western warnings claiming it has every right to create closer kinship with neighbors. the stakes are high. the symbolism powerful observers say putin and kim's dangerous alliance is bigger than politics. a defiant message from two liters determined to take down the us tonight, we're learning kim and putin are expected to sign a new strategic partnership agreement replacing previous documents signed in 1961, 2000, 2001 one erin, the power dynamic between kim and prudent has changed so much since putin last visit to pyongyang, 24 years ago, the previous north korean leader has felt like an afterthought when they were next to the russian leaders. but these days, they know that at least while there's fighting in ukraine, russia needs north korea's help all right, thank you very much. will. and i want to go to the white house now, kayla tausche is there. >> so it kayla obviously, now you've got another meeting happening how significant is this? how closely is the us a biden administration watching this meeting which we understand between putin and kim is supposed to happen in just a few hours air the administration is watching this incredibly closely. you heard various division state department, defense department, the white house weighing in on this today in response to questions about exactly what could come out of this meeting earlier today, i think there were suggestions from the officials that essentially this is a response to the g7 liters who just a week ago pledged unwavering military and financial support for ukraine that was followed by a peace summit for ukraine were more than 100 countries stood defiantly against russia with ukraine and essentially supported the withdrawal of russian troops. there. but there is no secret here at the white house that they believed that north korea has been materially aiding russia. and for months, if not years, you mentioned that south korean estimate of 6,700 containers will just today, the state department said that that number is closer to 11,000 and then it's not hypothetical that those missiles in a minute munitions have been showing up on the battlefield and they say that they know exactly what north korea is providing russia because of some of the trade data and some of the satellite data that you were just referencing. but they're bigger concern is what russia may be providing ppe on yan kurt campbell, who is the deputy secretary of state's said last week, hard currency is it? capabilities that allow them to advance their nuclear or missile products? we don't know, but we're concerned by that. and watching carefully. meanwhile, russian state media has said that the kremlin is looking to partner with north korea in all possible areas, erin, right. >> thank you very much, kayla, at the white house and i want to go now to democratic congressman jim hims of connecticut top democrat on the house intelligence committee? congressman, i appreciate your time so vladimir putin now just hours away from this meeting with kim jong, un, it's supposed to be a two day visit in pyongyang. second meeting for the two and less than a year and we'll was just sharing those satellite images. i'll show them again for everyone preparations appear to be underway for a very large parade to celebrate putin's arrival. what does this meeting signal to you? congressman well it signals desperation. >> frankly. i mean, if vladimir putin who believes that he runs the inheritor of the russian empire, of the soviets, is forced to go, hadn't had to a country where the gdp per capita is $1,000 per person, per year. it's the whole thing has a ludicrous field to it. now look, there's a couple of serious things here. north korea is passing on munitions to russia basic stuff like 155 millimeter artillery rounds and we do wonder what russia is giving north korea in return, and north korea is a dangerous place. but this whole thing, this idea that all these two liters here's what to do away with the united states. >> aaron putin couldn't invade ukraine at the time. >> a third rate country without really much of a military, north korea the russians ought to look at who their leader is consorting with, right? in south korea, gdp per capita is $50,000 a year. it's a 1,000 in north korea and this is where putin with all his pretentious to pretensions to greatness is going. it's just ludicrous. yes. so it does come as putin is to play those warships off the coast of the us and they are today. this is an image of them that i have, congressman. this isn't leaving havana where they had docked for a few days. they were sailing off the coast of florida. just a few days ago. and when they did get that putin said, this we have come on acceptably close to the point of no return when you still calls to inflict this retreat, to feed on russia, from which has the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons demonstrate the extreme adventurism of western politicians the direct reference to the arsenal is unusual for him to be so direct. but do you view this as desperation congress when i mean, i'm just wondering in the context of about a month ago, us intel brief congress and said, putin's military was now back stronger than it was before the invasion of ukraine. we're now seeing larger gas imports from russia to europe than anytime since the beginning of the war. i mean, you could look at this in some ways and say, maybe putin is stronger than it seems no, he's not, he's far weaker than he seems and sadly, i think to some extent, the american media is complicit in this. they took three ragged the boats into havana, by the waves. russian boats have been sailing in the caribbean and making port calls all the time. one of our frigates could have very easily sunk all three of those ships without even thinking twice about that. how do i know that? because think about the flagship of the russian fleet, the most cva, the flagship, the best that they had is now at the bottom of the black sea, taken out by a bunch of ukrainians with a pickup truck and a missile. so no look, he's gotten nuclear weapons that changes everything nor north korea has nuclear weapons. so we don't, we don't make too much fun of these people, but the idea that there's a lot of merit putin is going to attack the united states when he can't even really keep 15%, uh, ukraine is just ludicrous. >> i understand that, but i am curious with the gas imports to rush over taking supplies from the us in may for the first time in two years. >> and this is supposedly all these sanctions are killing him and yet his gas imports, exports, i'm sorry to europe are now greater than those of the us. i mean, are you, are you concerned about this well, of course, i'm concerned about this because the chinese buying russian oil and frankly are supposed friends. >> the indians also buying russian oil is allowing putin to kill thousands of people in a murderous invasion of ukraine and so of course that's concerning. i mean, you'd wonder how that all ends. i don't think it ends with a nuclear attack. it certainly doesn't end with putin attacking and nato country, which would get his clock cleaned very, very rapidly. but yeah, there's lots of ukrainians dying because china and india in particular, but other countries are purchasing russian energy let me ask you one other thing before we go and this i know you've been briefed on congressman, so i'm curious your point of view, those eight to gq nationals with isis tie suspected were arrested in multiple us cities. >> they all had come in over the us southern border. the former cia director leon panetta, told us that this is a 911 wake-up call. is that how you see it from your briefings or no? >> well, it's certainly true. i mean, people are using a lot of bombastic language before 911, we had just all sorts of barriers to intelligence-sharin g. we weren't focused on what we should have been focused on. that's not true anymore. that doesn't mean we're not at risk. and i think again, there's a lot of hyperbolic language out there as it turns out, we arrested those tajik beaks with ties to isis and we have not had a major terrorist attack in this country in a very, very long time. so that doesn't mean that we let our guards down. of course not. and having people without whose identity we don't know inside the country where you worried that there are a lot more of them came over the southern border though, a lot more people with that wish to do the yeah. i mean, look, these people presented themselves seeking asylum right? >> if you're a terrorist, that, that's a really dumb thing to know because we're going to take a picture of you are going to look into you, et cetera. so yes, of course it's a danger. it's a danger that my republican friends like to play up even though in 30 years there has not been a single terrorist fatality engineered by an undocumented alien that doesn't mean that we don't worry about it. but again, we've got to keep this in perspective. >> all right. what congressman? i appreciate your time. thank you very much congressman. times, as i said ranking until committee, i appreciate it. and next former president obama fighting back, calling out republicans who claimed biden froze and had to be let off the stage by obama at the end. and have a fundraiser in la. are white house reporter was also in the room and she joins us next, plus parents at their wits end when it comes to kids and cell phones oh, my filming surgeon general of the united states, dr. vivek murthy, who's now calling for social media warning labels is out front tonight. >> and breaking news, trump's longtime ally, steve bannon, will not be heading to so-called club fed when he is forced to report to prison soon. >> but tonight, we have new details and where bannon is likely going to end up behind bars the sirens are going off the tornado here you cannot out swim this. >> you cannot outrun it it really is a terrifying experience. >> it is the stuff of nightmares you could hear it and feel it eyes and my throat were buried. >> i'm thinking i'm going to die and i thought that was it. >> would earth with liev schreiber sunday at nine on cnn billy the kid it's trying to take over the town. what it needs is cleaned it up. >> they've appointed a new sheriff that gear i mean, something to you. sure. does use the royal billy knows your job to hold them down. a law doesn't take sides you can this ain't a game for me when dry eye symptoms keep kelvin inflammation might be to play over the counter. >> wide drops can provide temporary relief, say dry can provide lasting relief. he targets inflammation. they can come i'll just drying, it treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease, don't use it or allergic design drew common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort, or blurred vision when applied in unusual taste sensation. why we ask your doctor about a 90 day prescription and pay his little is $0 city's industry leading global payment solutions help their clients move money around the world seamlessly in over 180 countries and help a partner like the world food programme as they provide more than food to people in need together, city in the world food programme empower families across the globe at the ram make this the summer event. >> you can take a vacation from payments on the most awarded light and heavy-duty trucks the most luxurious ram, 1,500 ever and the most advanced ram heavy-duty pickups purines your local rambler and make the most of your summer with great deals plus no. payments for 90 days now, during the ram, make this the summer event, get $1,000 cash allowance plus finance and get no monthly payments for 90 days on the purchase of most 2025 ram 1,500 trucks when the saada acetals and the engine finally roars, the thing you care about most is a job well done but when you get your tools from harbor freight, something about the job feels a little different. your wallet because we believe no matter what you're working on you need high-quality tools at a great price and that's what we're all about whatever you do. >> do it for less at harbor freight i've read this did i get my keys memory and thinking issues keep piling up. it may be due to a buildup of a slow network is no network for business. that's why more choose comcast business. and now we're introducing ultimate speed for business, our fastest plans yet. we're up to 12 times faster than verizon, at&t, and t-mobile. and existing customers could even get up to triple the speeds at no additional cost. from the company with 99.9% network reliability and advanced cyber security, it's ultimate speed for ultimate business. and it's all from comcast business. three-to-one, three-to-one. >> today. >> i'm natasha bertrand at the pentagon and this is cnn tonight, barack obama's camp firing back after widespread claims on the right that he needed to leave president biden offstage after biden appeared to freeze up at the end of the weekend fundraiser in la. >> so eric schultes is a senior obama advisor, and he has put out a statement saying, quote, this
