>> your phone can measure you right now. i'm taylor on ios or android. >> so you, in this morning with kasie hunt. next it's monday, june 24th, right now on cnn this morning but clock is ticking. joe biden and donald trump honing their strategies ahead of their looming debate. re-match plus, it's been two years since the supreme court overturned roe versus wade, handing control to the states. but how will it impact the outcome of the election? this no member and a month's worth of rain in just three days this morning, i was reeling from what authorities are calling monumental flooding all right. >> 5:00 a.m. here in washington, dc. alive. look at that beautiful sunrise in new york city. on this summer, monday morning, morning, everyone, i'm cases see it's wonderful to have you with us three days and counting before the historic debate rematch between president biden and former president donald trump a president and a former president have never faced off in a debate like this. both sides, of course, angling for any edge, they can get and the urgency feels palpable. president biden has been hunkering down at camp david for three days of preparation so far, including participating in mock debates, that style of preparation, of course creating criticism from trump's supporters, including florida representative byron donalds he has to be at camp david for 78 days to prepare himself to be in a 90 minute debate with donald trump. >> that does not bode well for a man who says he wants four more years as joe biden's campaign says, he wants to focus on three areas, abortion, upholding democracy, and trump's economic plan. they argue that that plan benefits the rich. >> here's one of president biden's top supporters, his campaign co-chair, mitch landrieu, trying tipping his hand a little bit on the president's theme for thursday night it really doesn't matter how donald trump shows up. >> it becomes in unhinged like he is most of the time or he sits there and his quiet people are going to know that he's a twice and convicted felon, who has been found to have defame somebody sexually abused somebody, and gone bankrupt six times. they will always know that and that is something that the american people have to think about there is all that. >> let's bring in julia manchester. she is a staff writer for the hill. julia. good morning to you. thanks so much for being here so we are now seeing the trump team as we head into this debate, trying to shall we say, heightened expectations for the president because they have spent so much time arguing that the president is basically incapable of doing his his job. so my my question is, at what point i mean, that sets the bar for president biden bo so low now they seem to be trying to raise it up and say, well, as long as he that he is actually capable, what are we going to see? look, i think you're going to potentially see depending on what donald trump follows and debate prep is donald trump going to be measured, calm, cool, and collected, or is he going to be like he wasn't the first 2020? they much more erratic, very much coming in very hot. so i think that's a fear among a lot of republicans. a lot of republicans, i've chatted with have said, look on that during that first 2020 debate, that's when donald trump lost the election or was the beginning of a lot of his troubles during that campaign. so i think this is very much his those around him trying to push back on that, trying to hire those heightened those expectations for preston biden? yeah. so i mean, if if the biggest challenge for the sitting president is perceptions around his age and his performance. >> the biggest challenge for the former president is if you speak with strategies to willing to be honest, the fact that he can come across as on hinge that can get very personal. >> here was how kristi noem talked about what the debate could or should look like for the former president over the weekend, watch how she characterized it i think it's an important debate. it'll be a great opportunity for president trump to talk about his policies and how his policies when he served as president of this country were good for every single family that lived here. i don't think that he has to talk about get personal it in this debate at all because he's going to have so many good things to talk about in contrast with joe biden's policies. >> so she says he doesn't have to get personal. you can talk about the policy, but how big of a challenge is that for the former president? >> you know, he looked at his appearance in philadelphia last weekend during a campaign rally. he was getting personal. he was a bit unhinged and we know that his base likes that, but the difference between a campaign rally in a debate like this is he is speaking to many more americans, including those very persuadable independent swing voters who may be unhappy with the economy under joe biden, who may be unhappy with some of joe biden's policies but they look at donald trump and they say, i just don't like him. so donald trump has to come off as more likable, more palatable, to more americans so speaking of getting personal and how donald trump has kind of been performing on the campaign trail. >> we saw quite the event from former from the former president in philadelphia. hear what he said about the debate well, he used the phrase, jacked up. let's watch right now, crooked joe's gone to a log cabin to study, prepare no, he didn't do he's sleeping now because they want to get him good and strong so a little before debate time, he gets a shot i say he'll come out all jacked up, right. all jacked so i'll jacked up. of course the phrase that we didn't have to believe in that comment, this of course, is a line of discussion that we heard after the state of the union when present, biden by most accounts, performed very well we democrats were very happy with the performance that he gave. >> then when i talk to them ahead of this debate, they'll say similar that they have seen him rise to the occasion before. they're hoping he'll rise to the occasion this time. some of the ugly undercurrents around the wake of the state of the union performance alluded to what president trump former president trump is just willing to say out loud, bright, right? >> and this is he's very much setting the expectation for the republican response to president biden during this debate. if president biden has a good night because so much of the criticism of biden is over his age, over as mental acuity. so this is how they're able to essentially push back, but you know, casey, it's so interesting watching that clip of donald trump talking about debate prep and such. and contrast it with kristi noem, who is very much telegraphing that he needs to focus on the policy, needs to be calm, cool, and collected, will see which one he follows, but it doesn't seem like he's calm right now all right. >> a lot at stake. julian manchester for us this morning, julia. thank you very much. >> all right. coming up next here. gunman, opened fire on places of worship and to russia some cities, the terror investigation now underway, plus will donald trump, he placed under a gag order in his classified documents case. and why alec ball?

>> well, we're hearing very slowly in terms of beishan, it's only just really wrapped up that operation and this is an area of russia predominantly muslim population, but also with a very ancient jewish community there as well. and this was attack apparent attack on both communities. so to churches and synagogues attacked as well as a police checkpoint, and a police vehicle, it seems very dramatic scenes and across two cities and it does appear obviously to be coordinated, but we haven't had a formal update in terms of the investigation apart from an international terrorist organization was linked to it we did, of course, have an attack on the concert hall, didn't we, in moscow earlier in the year, isis claimed responsibility for that, but we hadn't had a claim up responsibility with this. in fact, the authorities suggested that the moscow attack was more to do with what's happening ukraine. so wait to see what the authorities say in where they pin this, although they do say they do have a sense of who the organization is definitely going to be keeping an eye on this throughout the morning. max, i also want to ask you about some news that's just in here to cnn this morning in an interview that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu did. that was aired on israeli tv. >> and he seemed to suggest that the war that they are waging in gaza may end in its current phase. >> he says, quote, it doesn't mean that the war is going to end, but the war in its current stage is going to end in rafah. this is true and then he says, we will continue mowing the grass later was are translation. this interview was done in hebrew and then he went on to say this about what's next? next, let's listen want to what else is gotten colon after the intense phase is finished, we will have the possibility to move part of the forces north, and we will do this first and foremost for defensive purposes. >> and secondly, to bring our evacuated residents home. if we can, we will do this diplomatically. if not, we will do it another way so how do you hear the words from the prime minister? >> because this does seem to be a shift in the rhetoric that he's been using, but obviously still a lot of questions but it does fall into line with what we did here at one stage there would be three stages to this. so the air bombardment than the ground incursion and then a third phase. so he could just be suggesting we're going into that third phase now, the background to this as well as facing more pressure on that northern border, border with lebanon as well against hezbollah, which is our sping sping to analysts earlier this morning they're much more concerned about now that in terms of a regional escalation, because if there is, the more skirmishes there are across that border with lebanon, with hezbollah, the more that there is risk of something going wrong or some miscalculation and blowing up into a much bigger war, not just because has bulla is so well armed, but hezbollah's linked with so many other proxy groups wish are all linked to iran. and they could all get involved. so maybe the plan here is to go into this third phase in gaza, but then shift the focus to northern israel. that appears to be what the al-ahli analysts are reading this as. anyway. >> all right, well, we'll keep an eye on that as well. max foster for us this morning. max, always grateful to have you. thank you so much. >> alright coming up next on cnn this morning, recovery efforts began in iowa it's hard to deal with that much water it's it's a monumental undertaking the latest on a weekend of historic flooding ahead and deadly violence across the country. >> several mass shootings, including one at a grocery store sunday on the whole story. >> short ban was in american waters, dive into the debate between conservations, fishermen shark honorees story with anderson cooper on sunday at eight and don't miss discovery sharpening starting sunday, july 7 zehr take allergy relief works fast. it lasts a false 24 hours. so they can be deliverer, dance okay. dave let's be more than our allergies seize the de with zehr tech one a next level, clean, switched with the wo of listerine. it kills 99.9% of bad breath germs for five times more cleaning power than brushing and flossing alone, get a next level, clean with listerine. feel the wo did i read this did i get it where are my keys?
