why federal prosecutors are urging the justice department to take action against the airplane giant and a big step by a major social media app to safeguard its teenage users were following these major developing stores and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central hello there i'm briana cuellar alongside boris sanchez and we are on the count countdown to thursday night's cnn presidential debate, where we are now learning some new details about how several top democrats or war burning the biden campaign to shift strategy and to spend more time targeting former president trump and less time touting what they see as president biden's first term accomplishments. the biden campaign appears to be acting on that advice, releasing a new tv ad that's part of what they say is a $50 million ad buy that directly attacks trump's economic vision for a second term. let's take you to the white house now with cnn's kayla tausche and kayla walk us through the details on this new well, the new ad is part of a battleground effort to blink at the airwaves and really target those independent voters by showing them that president biden is the one that it has voters interests at heart, at not president trump, that predecessor to biden, who these new ads say is only in it for himself. take a listen donald trump loves to attack joe biden by joe biden because he's focused on revenge and he has no plan to help the middle class. he just give more tax cuts to the wealthy here's the difference. donald trump is only out for himself, joe biden is fighting for your family now this marks a sharp pivot from the previous messaging on the economy previously, you may remember last year button was out on the stump crisscrossing the country, talking about bidenomics and trying to convince the electorate that the economy was better than they felt it was. >> then beginning earlier this year, he began talking about how was more work to do who and beginning to acknowledge that maybe the economic woes of the post-pandemic era were not over, but recently i've been told that several top democrat democrats who have the ear of the biden camp has been urging them to make this pivot to stop trying to convince voters that their cost of living is not too high and that job creation and economic growth matter more than one what they're paying for their grocery bill and saying, let's change the conversation entirely and go straight after donald trump. and that's what i think we can see from biden on the debate stage this thursday as well as beyond that, guys and we're told kayla that biden advisers have started these formal mock debates. >> tell us about this well, we know that this is part of the biden playbook. he is no stranger to bates having been a lifelong politician normally advisers go through reams of material they talk about potential questions, answers, topics, and then they culminate in these mock debates and sources have told cnn that those mock debates have gotten underway, although they will not not say how many are taking place. each day only that it varies. this is president biden's turn to practice that format that he's going to be under on thursday night on the debate stage. a source with knowledge telling mj lee that the president has a podium that he is standing behind that they're really trying to to get a feel for what will happen on thursday night and trying to anticipate some of the questions that he may need to react to in addition to the topics that he plans to be on offense, four guys alright. kayla, thank you for that live four is from the white house. president biden has been huddled behind closed doors deep in traditional debate prep and former president trump is doing things his way to get ready for thursday's big face off yeah. >> are you preparing? i'm preparing by taking questions from you and others if you think about it, but i'm preparing by dealing with you. you're tougher than all of them. >> so we're told that trump has no plans to engage in mock debate sessions and has instead been holding informal discussions with advisers and allies on his policy positions. joining us now is republican congressmen mike waltz, a florida, he has a surrogate for the trump campaign. all right so i'm just wondering if we're looking towards this debate. >> what you want to see from trump onstage thursday night well, it doesn't surprise me that biden's changing strategy because bidenomics has clearly been a disaster. so he's going to try to shift his message and i think the contrast is going to be clear. brionna, this isn't theoretical anymore. this was what was life like under the trump administration economically with inflation, with the border, with security in terms of crime. and the world, i mean, just look at the middle east, one part of the world you had isis largely defeated iran, broke, and the abraham accords breaking out. and look at the chaos now, so i think he's just going to make contrast after contrast what policy worked on the border, whether remain in mexico, are actually having the same mexican government put their national guard on their southern border. and we saw a drastic drop in illegal immigration and then what's working now are not working with the wide open border. so you're going to see the contrast. the contrast is going to be clear, but it doesn't surprise me. biden's trying to shift away from what is failed under him and try to make this referendum on trump. >> you want contrasts and we know that biden is going to draw a contrast as well. he's going going to try to do that definitely on abortion. i think we just expect that's going to happen yesterday, was two years. so when they have this debate, it's going to be right there around the two-year anniversary since the supreme court overturned roe, which trump has taken credit 4 what should trump say about abortion? how should he respond to that? >> well, he's going to say, look, the law of the land and sits in the states, there was never a federal law. he doesn't support a federal law that's what row essentially did was say, we're not going to legislate from the bench constitutionally as originalists, those laws have been made down in the state. now if congress chooses to do something different that's on congress and then i want to see president trump asked biden win as abortion not appropriate the de before birth, the week before the month before. and really point out a lot of extreme measures that are out there in terms of later on abortion that a lot of people, most americans do not support there are a lot of americans who think that some of the restrictions when it comes to early on in pregnancy is actually extreme, including in your state of florida, where the may cbs yougov poll of florida registered voters showed 65% of voters said abortion should be legal in all or most cases, 56% of florida voters say the sixth week band is too strict 60% said they'd vote yes on amendment for guaranteeing are right to abortion in florida in november. >> so you talk about that? yes, it does sit in a states. but at the same time, you have a lot of floridians who are having a really hard time with where it is sitting in your state and they're looking they're looking to make sure you're making my point. we're making president trump's point. you're making the supreme court's point in that row. basically legislated from the bench, which was inappropriate constitutionally. and if people want to vote on this issue down in the states, whether it's on a referendum or whether it's for state legislator. that's what they're gonna do. >> what do. but it doesn't mean we're spending a lot of time on this. i think president biden was tried to spend a lot of time on this. and at the end of the de those kitchen table issues of economy, inflation, crime, border, or what's going to dominate when people vote, will family planning, i mean, arguably as a kitchen table issue, right? the economy, one of bob? yes. what upon me is very what are those issues that i just listed? it's biden have to be proud of, not inflation, not help people feel in their wallets, not with a wide open border not with crime. and certainly not with a world that is on fire. right now. he certainly can't point to as middle east policy on china or any other policy so he's going to try to shift to those couple of issues. >> he's going of course, to point his june 4 immigration restrictions on the border. we'll have to see how these two gentlemen handle that on the debate stage. >> still allowing nearly 1 million people a year, unchecked, unvetted when we just had eight isis terrorists arrested on the verge of another plot, like they had on the anniversary at pulse nightclub down near my district. i don't think that's something biden is going to be proud of i wouldn't think would you call them isis terrorists or you would say connections to isis. how would you describe it? well, they were facilitated into the united states illegally by an isis facilitation network out of tajikistan. and there was ongoing plotting and planning that fortunately law enforcement intercepted. >> okay. i just want to make sure we're very smith about it very much aware on that spectrum, isis linked versus an isis, actually, yes, fighter is probably up for debate, but if they're plotting and planning to attack americans, united states, be asleep, consider arrested. well, obviously considerable concern that they could be. and so there was there were arrests made in that point, so what do you not want to see in this debate let me preface this by saying, we've seen previous debates between trump and biden. and i wonder if there's some things that you've seen in those debates that you would not like to see that you do not think either are good for trump or are good for americans as they're making their choices? >> well, look, i want to see the full spectrum. i can't think of anything. i know. trump can handle anything thrown at them. he's out there day in and day out at rallies. just one in wisconsin, just at one in pennsylvania, even in philadelphia, in the inner city. that's not necessarily considered a red part of america, having forums in brooklyn, right? in the going to a black church in detroit. so he's willing to take his message and kind of areas that haven't been and traditionally republican and i'm confident he can handle anything that's thrown out there. and i want to see the entire gamut from china to ukraine, to the middle east. how we've let the wide open border really change america in many ways. let's walk through the economy. let's walk through prime. let's walk through even the right to try legislation. for example, which allowed people that were terminally ill to try new drugs that weren't fda approved. what do the veterans choice act that allowed veterans to go to their doctor rather than have to wait in line to the va. and there's a lot to dig into from a policy standpoint. so i guess a long way of answering your question. let's talk about the policies. what worked for american, what didn't and we'll see if we can stay out of the personalities. >> julian assange struck a plea deal actually, right now, i believe unless we have any confirmation that he has landed, but as we were talking ahead of time, it's kind of a long flight he's on his way right now to a us territory not far from guam and not far from australia, where he is ultimately going to be a free man after he's pled guilty to one count. so here he is. he's going to walk free very shortly. he was indicted under the trump administration back in 2019, which is when you said this about julian assange and the whole wikileaks process. let's listen he'll let me be clear julia, to sij, bradley manning and then related but separate edward snowden, that blood on their hands and i hope the justice department throws the book atom i am looking forward to seeing them extradited back to the united states. >> it let's just talk for a second about what they did. they took all of our operational files as a green beret in afghanistan. we were nothing operations night after night after night against the taliban, al-qaeda. later on, isis, they took all of our operational files and particularly the sources, the local afghans that we're working with us, they did this in iraq as well, and put them all over the internet. >> i think what transpired with this breaches, particularly personal for someone with your background, what do you think of the plea deal look, we know that al-qaeda, the taliban isis in iraq actively monitored leaks across news organizations with english-speaking operatives to look for leaks. >> and we know they went out, they went after our sources are people that were helping american troops. i am heavily focused on chelsea manning are then bradley manning. i mean, we need to be focused on these leakers and the damage that they do. i think it's up some debate now whether assange was a journalist in the guise of maybe the new york times with the pentagon papers, but not, but people are making that comparison i have to interrupt you on. >> as a journalist if we had those kind of documents, i went back to not to do it and went through the process of releasing something. i would have you would not identify individual sources that you had worked with so that they would be killed? >> i'm absolutely no i do not. but there is some debate out there and using the pentagon papers and what's look if we prosecuted everyone for releasing something that classified, everyone would be classified. but this is what i'm trying to get into a nuanced point here. what he released put people's lives and dangerous. he served five years. i think he should have served longer but at the end of the day, we can't lose sight of it. was the government employee, chelsea manning that did the leak. >> trump floated the idea of pardoning him. why do that? >> after trump's day also indicted him. i don't know all right. >> congressman. thank thank you so much. it's obviously a very, very big week and we appreciate your insights. thank you so much. >> and of course, do not miss president joe biden and former president donald trump. they will be debating this thursday, june 27, that is 9:00 p.m. right here on cnn. it will be a very big night. and we're also continuing to follow breaking is the judge in the criminal hush money trial of former president donald trump is rolling back parts of a gag order imposed before the trial. trump can now publicly talk about witnesses like michael cohen and stormy daniel's. so let's bring in cn as brynn gingras to talk a little bit about this, we have a response now for from the trump campaign, brynn, what are they saying? >> yeah. i mean, briana, they're saying they're still going to fight it. let's first talk about what this order does and does not do. you just mentioned the big one there. what this allows us trump now can speak about those witnesses who testified in his trial, particularly people like michael cohen, as you just mentioned, if you remember, during that trial, trump and his team railing against the fact that they felt this was stifling their campaign, that they couldn't respond to any attacks that were appearing on twitter from witnesses like michael cohen. so this gag order, rolling back just a little bit does give the trump camp a little bit more leeway what it does not allow him to do according to this judge, is to speak hello or say anything about the prosecutors in this case, any jurors names cannot be released. trump cannot talk about any of the lawyers of family or court staff, and the judge, joan more sean essentially saying that is because he's still needs to protect these people ahead of the sentencing. sing this court process when it comes to that new york trial is not over yet. he said that he wants them to feel free to do their jobs without threats, intimidation harassment, and harb. but again, like i said, trump is still going after this ruling, essentially releasing a statement to cnn saying this this is another unlawful decision by a highly conflicted judge, which is blatantly un-american as a gags, president trump, the leading candidate in the 2024 presidential election during the upcoming presidential debate on thursday, president trump and his legal team will immediately challenge today's unconstitutional order and just a little backstory if you remember, of course, is that this gag order was put in place in april ahead of the criminal trial, the judge worried that anything trump would have said could have really derailed that trial. and then of course, we know that during the trial, the former president violating it ten times a one-point even being threatened by the judge to go to jail for all of those violations. since but again, it looks like they're going to continue to fight even what is left of it ahead of that sentencing on july 11, briana. >> all right. we'll be looking for more than beringia and grass. thank you for that. >> happening now, a court hearing where donald trump's lawyers are making their latest attempt to get their classified documents case against him thrown out. let's get right to cnn, chief legal affairs correspondent paula reid for the latest and paula, there's some new reporting about trump's attorneys focusing on the warrant that the fbi used to search mar-a-lago that's right. bores. we're just getting our first update from our colleagues who were inside court and they say that defense attorneys are trying to attack the legitimacy of the search warrant that was executed on mar-a-lago, arguing that it was not specific enough. now, today is day three of three days of hearings down in florida. today, defense attorneys, overall, they are focused on trying to prevent prosecutors from being able to use certain pieces of evidence against their client in an eventual trial. now, in addition to trying to get some the classified materials that were obtained, thrown out, arguing that the search warrant i was not legitimate. there are also trying to prevent prosecutors from being able to use transcripts of voice memos from trump's former lawyer, avid cork great now, that is critical evidence because that is key evidence to support a charge of obstruction. now, as we know, porous, the trump defense attorneys or they are throwing everything at the wall down there in florida, to try to undermine this case are the very least, get it delayed and here you see judge aileen cannon. she is entertaining i'm. efforts that other judges may not take the time and resources to even here in a formal hearing setting. so she is definitely more indulgent and at least hearing the defense attorneys arguments, even though she doesn't always rule in their favor all right. >> we'll keep an eye on what's happening in fort pierce, paul reid. thank you so much for coming up after years of crashes and safety lapses, federal prosecutors are now recommending criminal charges against boeing boeing whistleblowers will join us live with his reaction. >> plus, this is now the most expensive house primary ever. today, new york democratic congressman jamaal bowman is fighting for his political life, facing a he edited democratic primary challenger by bowman's views on one particular topic could impact the outcome. >> and some habits are hard to break why many older adults are still taking a daily aspirin, even though they should not be what experts are saying about it the most anticipated moment of this election and the stakes couldn't be higher. >> the president and the former president,
