we got through the cold war without some terrible incident taking place finale airs on sunday night. >> stay tuned for that and tune in for the lead with jake tapper, which starts right now these cnn breaking news welcome to lead. >> i'm phil mattingly in for jake tapper and we start this sauer with the breaking news, at least ten people have been shot at in arkansas grocery store two people were killed. and one of the injured is a police officer. i wanna get straight to cnn's sub l resolve he's well, what do we know about where things stand, how this actually happened earlier today hey, phil, we do know that the situation has been contained and we expect to get brand new details here. >> and about half an hour, that is when arkansas state police are holding a press conference to let the community know what has happened here. but here's what we do know from a press release from arkansas state police. this mass shooting which cnn defines as four or more people wounded or killed, happened at 12:30 eastern. so just in the afternoon and four dice arkansas, that's in dallas county it's a small community, about 3,700 people and it happened inside of a grocery store, the mad butcher grocery store. you mentioned that eight people were wounded to sadly fell have been killed. we know that a law enforcement officer has been wounded, but non-life-threatening injuries and a shooter has been critically injured, but taken into custody. we have also seen on has spoken to matthew gill, a witness, somebody who was inside of that grocery store. and in fact, he works there. he's the meat manager who saw a man come in. he says with a shotgun and ended up in a shootout with police before they were taken into custody. now, we also heard from a witness, david rodriguez, who was outside just trying to fuel up his car at a gas station when he heard all this popping, he took a video. in fact, where you can hear popping in the background that he at first mistook for fireworks because there's a firework store nearby, then he saw people running and shortly after that is when ambulance sirens came in, police came into control of the situation, told them to leave he did also notice that in the front windows of the grocery store, it appeared to him they hadn't shot open as though somebody was trying to get inside with gunfire, fill. the governor, sarah huckabee sanders has been informed of the situation she's in contact with state police she had this to say, i am thankful law enforcement and first responders for their quick and heroic action to save lives. my prayers are with the victims and all those impacted by this horrific incident so all this to say the situation is contained, but we we are seeing from our affiliates who are still there on the scene, lots of police presence, obviously, as they're going to work here to gather evidence, talk to witnesses, potentially have any any surveillance footage, and see what the scene is. piece this together, figure out why this all happen. >> phil. yeah. >> any isabel i know early stages still collecting a lot of information. you mentioned that the shooter was injured. >> we don't know. i don't think at least if he's speaking or not. >> we do know that there will be a press conference. the state police announced that and just under 30 minutes, do we have any sense of how much information they're gonna be willing to share about how this all happened we don't fill and this is a tiny community, so we know that they've been overwhelmed. >> the hospital, nearby businesses with all these calls, of course, from press trying to figure out what is going on here. we'll just have to see here in the next half-hour what they are privy to sharing with us and how this all happened. but interesting that the shooter, while critically injured is in custody. again, don't know if their conscious or not. how much there'll be able to relate back to police as they work to figure this thing out. >> all right. it's about resolve this. i want you to get back to reporting with your team. thanks so much for the information we will keep you updated throughout the course of this hour. we're going to follow the breaking news updates will obviously keep you posted on that press conference as well when it begins right now scheduled for 4:30 p.m. also this afternoon, we are turning to our 2024 lead because we are less than a week away from the most important event of the 2024 election so far, maybe the most important period of the 2024 election next thursday night, president joe biden and former president donald trump will face off. and this cycle's first debate and it's all happening right here. on cnn. but before they hit the stage, we're getting a new look inside both campaigns, bank accounts, biden's may hall totaled $85 million to the campaign says is the second best grassroots fundraising month for the president. this cycle. however, trump's team and the rnc reporting a massive fundraising haul for last month 141 million million dollars boosted by a surgeon donations after his criminal convictions in new york. let's get straight to cnn's jeff zeleny this is the second month in a row that trump has outraised biden. what else do we know about what's inside these totals will fill the bottom line to all of this is former president donald trump has effectively erased the cash advantage that present then biden and his campaign have enjoyed for many, many months? yes. overall, the biden campaign has still raised more year to date, but in the last two months, there has been a upward tick from the trump campaign. and as you said, you can exactly track that to the conviction his convictions and may certainly elevated his contributions. but if you look at this from february great to march, april to may, biden, there is in blue, trump is in red. biden enjoyed a cash advantage and that allowed the biden campaign to really start advertising spending a more than $70 million. so far in television and digital advertising, as well as building offices across battleground states. in fact, this week alone, they hired the 1000th campaign staffer, the trump campaign is far behind on that score, but in raising money in terms of having a parody with the biden campaign, no doubt the trump campaign is coming on strong field. not a surprise. we did not expect the money to be a defining factor in this. the question, what does the trump campaign do with this money? do they actually spent on television or perhaps hold some of it for legal expenses? >> yeah. legal expenses, whether or not they spent on advise, whether or not they build out their ground operations while still an open question. i got to ask you the geoff there were at least a couple huge donors that came through in those fec filings, like i'm not sure i've seen $50 million before, at least not in recent memory. who are they? >> neither one of us have seen it in recent memory, and they are two billionaires, tim meloni's the one who is certainly the most interesting. he wrote a check for 50 million dollars to be a super pac supporting the election of a former president donald trump. he also is given considerable money to robert f. kennedy jr. he of course, is the grandson of the late former he tree secretary andrew mellon, as well as just a member of the melanin family. he is certainly a bit of a reclusive donor. in fact, in recent years, he's been giving more and more, most republican candidates. he gives to have never met him before. michael bloomberg, on the other side of the aisle has given almost $20 to the biden campaign and democratic efforts. of course, he is much more well-known. he ran for president himself in 2020, but feel just a snapshot of some of the billionaires giving money here. but the trump's super pac is getting most of its money now from tim mellon at least recently, they are intending to spend money on television here. so a central question to all of this, how much will the trump campaign? actually spend or will they outsource most of their ground game and campaign efforts? so the advertising efforts, so that's what they are signaling. we shall see. of course, the reason this matters is when both candidates are face-to-face and the debate stage next week, essentially in fundraising, they're at parody it's even across the board just about every metric you can look at it. but the point jeff zeleny, as always, thank you, my friend. you've been political panelists here to discuss scott jennings. you're just about to write that $50 million check as well, couldn't quite get yourself to do the name. also, people know you. yeah, you're not reclusive to suit that i do. let's pull the fundraising numbers again, though, because the trump campaign raising 141 million, biden campaign no. no, not shabby at $85 million. >> they're the story of the i think the three or four months preceding the last two was just a dramatic advantage when it came to money for the biden campaign. when you see where things stand right now, does that concern you if you're the biden campaign, do you feel like this is kinda evening up? what do you see? well, it's fascinating to see that right after a conviction, federal conviction that trump's fundraising numbers have gotten up as many people were predicting that his base will turn out for him and his friends. >> will write $50 million checks for him the challenge for the biden campaign is going to be when and how they spend the money the ground game is going to be critical. that's typically were democrats do have an advantage given that the moneyed interests have not traditionally been on the democratic side of the aisle, but the amount of money being spent in presidential campaigns is more than absurd. democratic candidates in total in 2020 spent 3 $3,000,000,000,000, is three times the national debt. so there's clearly something wrong when this is the way we talk about money in a political system well, the biden people have always believed that the trump campaign had no ground game and they were always there, always saying you have no ground game. we've been spending all this money on ground game. well now they've got money they spend on it. i don't know if it's a little late but they can also be spending it on legal fees, right. but they do have the money now, it's a byte, it's a vital thing because if you look at where trump's support comes from mid and low propensity voters loved donald trump right? for my whole career. it's been that democrats just turn out anybody and that's good for them. it's upside down this time for trump, it's mid and low propensity. it's expensive to go talk to those people. it's expensive to go knock on their doors and on top of that unregistered voters strongly preferred for trump. so think about if you wanted to run a massive voter registration and then turnout effort. it's expensive, it's labor-intensive. and as gloria just said, they now have the resources to enhance that. and if they can fundamentally alter the composition of the electorate, it's got a great chance to be data driven at the end of the de, knowing what you're, who you're going to try to turn we're now the super packs and the democratic side have been criticized for not spending the money yet and helping turnout black and brown voters, as well as younger voters, making that contact with them early is going to help biden with his narrative under your points about data though this is now trump's third campaign cycle in the 2020 cycle, we made it really concerted effort on the ground game on data about knowing where voters were, how many times you needed to talk to them, what their propensity was, and then using rallies as well. any political event that trump would go to as registration events because those are low propensity voters as well generally at those rarely, when you put all of that data together, even without a fully built out ground game at this point for the trump team, they still have the infrastructure there to know who their voters are and when to turn them look, it's also a good if you want to understand why donald trump has done a one at on vogue by mail and vacuum out the urging, i think probably banging down the door of your former boss, many, many at the senate karatay as well and really having operational chase program. >> but to your point, identifying voters is critical. having the finances to oxygen go out and help get to the polls, make sure that they're doing what they need to do by deadlines is also critical when i talk to state officials in the republican party, they don't see a lot of it right now, or at least they haven't over the course of the last carry-ons traditional vdi rnc would step in and start helping filled out victory centers. >> the ground game, whatever the case may be, the rnc is clearly going through an evolution at this point in the cycle. so they're not doing the same thing, but the money that is going into the super pac, right now to support donald trump, that dollar for dollar can act the same way. the money on the campaign side, i'm a campaigns like they get a better rate on tv. that's but that's super pac right now sitting on that $50,000,000 check, that is money and resources that can easily act dollar, dollar the same way as the campaign dollar would and be able to help that should question about the right eagle cases right i mean, donald trump has millions and millions of dollars in legal bills and his daughter-in-law is not specific at all about how much of the month let me go into the rnc is going to be spent on the legal cases. >> we don't know we don't know the answer to that and that's completely separate from the rnc in any money that would go into the trump campaign. bottom assumption that the traditional ways in which you've reached voters will continue to work in this entirely different media engagement online environment that's also what's at play here and test the same way the obama campaign in its primary, really came out with a new way of bringing in new voters through using voter technology. that's what we're gonna see. tv doesn't get to everybody anymore, right yes. >> aggregated environment so get a hold of people. >> i've wondered if both campaigns just didn't do any tv. would it make a difference than if they just put all the money and it's not because honestly, joe biden and donald trump are the two most well-defined people to ever run against each other for president, will a tv ad tell you something you don't know the question for the debate, but it, so things like debates, but also things like adding new people to the pool of possible voters. that's a measurable difference in a state that could be decided by 10,000 votes yeah. we should know before we go to scott's got a lot of friends who are consultants right now, who are about to pick up the phone we'd like dude shut but it's a really interesting question actually. >> all right, guys. thank you very much. >> appreciate it coming up, judge. aileen cannon is holding a very unusual day long hearing. they could decide future of charges against the former president. the rare move the judge made in court today, and the dramatic video capturing a southwest flight flying dangerously

attorneys for former president trump asking judge aileen cannon to dismiss charges brought by special counsel jack smith in his classified documents case, arguing smith was unlawfully appointed in the case since having perez is live outside the courthouse in florida, evan, judge cannon, push back on some of the arguments raised by trump's legal team shouldn't rule on the case today. >> what exactly did she ask them? >> well, she pushed emil bove who is one of donald trump's attorneys to explain some of the charge language that he was using in federal court today. one of the things he said was that jack smith and the fact that he was appointed by merrick garland, the attorney general, that essentially with acting it's a shadow government and she called that language very ominous, ominous, and pushed him to sort of explain exactly where he was going with this. one of the things that the trump attorney is trying to do is besides he besides trying to push for the dismissal of the charges shorter that she's also asking for the judge to hold additional hearings to examine exactly what the relationship is and the oversight is between merrick garland, the attorney general, and jack smith. but the fact that we even had this hearing fill is unusual. a lot of defendants, including 100 biden, have challenged the legality of the appointment coming of special counsels in the case of hunter biden. he he got shot down by judges by judges in los angeles and in wilmington. judges, they usually don't even have hearings. and so the fact that we were having a hearin
