average temperatures in every state between thursday and sunday. the heat has already arrived in the midwest and south. sean combs has returned is key to new york after a request by eric adams. that was in response to the 2016 police surveillance video showing combs assaulting his former girlfriend. adams bestowed the honor to combs last year and said he was deeply disturbed by that footage. a sun country airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing on friday due to engine failure. 176 passengers, landing without any major injuries. especially when it comes to yuppies and donald trump. the offer of a new book joins me. good day to all of you from headquarters here in new york. we begin with decision 2024. president biden will return to washington tonight to begin extensive debate pap with his first chief of staff. he is in california with a record-breaking $30 million in campaign cash. at last night's fundraiser, he also delivered his harshest criticism yet of the supreme court. >> the next president is likely to have two new supreme court nominees. two more. two more. he has already appointed two that are very negative in terms of the rights of individuals. the idea that if he is re- elected, the supreme court has never been us out of kilter as it is today. i mean, never. this has never been a court that has been this far out of step. >> donald trump will meet with gop house speaker mike johnson at mar-a-lago. trump has asked johnson to help him overturn his 34 count hush money felony count conviction. they are heavily courting younger voters. >> what we are trying to focus on is, how do we make sure we have four more years were the american people, particularly kids like me, growing up in poverty, have the best future we can possibly have. that takes donald trump. >> we are seeing a surge of turnout, especially with young people that are freaked out that republicans led by donald trump are going to take away their right to reproductive health care and destroy our democracy. a new reaction from milwaukee residence to new billboards highlighting trumps use of the word horrible to describe crime in their city which is hosting the republican national convention next month. >> is coming here in a couple weeks, so i think it takes an awful lot of ignorance to say something that negative before he is coming if he really thinks he should be president. >> we got a number of correspondence in place covering all the days new developments. we begin with aaron gilchrist in los angeles where the president held his star-studded fundraiser. what all did we hear from the president last night, and how easy preparing for the upcoming debate? >> president biden is set to head back this afternoon after raking in $30 million at that celebrity packed event last night here in l.a. $200 million more than originally projected. this was the most successful fundraiser in the democratic party's history. arbor streisand introducing the first lady. president biden and former president barack obama headline, interviewed by jimmy kimmel, and they talked about a wide range of topics. immigration, election interference, global conflict, healthcare. kimmel also asked about the supreme court decision to overturn roe v wade and ended abortion protections at the federal level. the president warned about how he feels the court will change if former president trump is able to win and appoint new justices. let's listen. >> after the decision of roe v wade, the dobbs decision, you had clarence thomas talking about the fact that there are going to be other things we should reconsider, including in vitro fertilization, including contraception, including all these things. and by the way -- by the way -- not on my watch. >> now, this crowd of hollywood a listers and influencers was very receptive to biden's remarks and his ideas which will help them raise money. in some of the ways, i think it creates another group of surrogate to carry his message forward. you think of the one photo that julia roberts posted on instagram got more than 300,000 likes. that is the sort of person that can put out a message for the biden harris campaign at this point. we know this debate is coming soon. the debate at the end of the month, resident biden expected to head back to washington in the next couple of hours here, and he could begin to break early next week. he's likely to spend some time at camp david, the presidential retreat in maryland. his former chief of staff has been tapped to help with the debate preparation, and the president looks to be ready for that face to face with donald trump come june 27, i believe. >> right you are. 11 short days away. joining me now, the democratic congresswoman from california. the president raising $30 million for his campaign last night. how much influence does hollywood really have on voters? do they bring in the votes? does it translate to that? >> i think it does. sorry that i wasn't able to be there last night, but i didn't want to outshine him. although i was in philadelphia with him for the launch of his lack voter campaign. i think it is a great thing to have him here in los angeles. it's a city of innovation, perseverance, hope. there's also a huge economic driver for the country. we are the epicenter of entertainment. to have him here to energize and remind democrats that we are the greatest force in telling the story about what is at stake, what is at risk, and what is worth saving in this election and why not have a little star power help with that? >> you probably would have shown him up in some glamorous gown. i know you can do that. let me ask you about social media influencers. they have more clout with voters than hollywood celebrities right now in terms of the voting demo the democrats want to target? is there a risk the biden campaign misses that segment of voters? >> i don't think so. dark brandon is probably on tiktok. i think it's important to talk to all of your voters, all of the constituents that represent our district i live across this country. so are influencers. i certainly believe that we have an oversaturated market with so many folks looking to social media and being on their phones and devices to get news. but if that's where voters are, we have to meet them wherever they are and tell them the truth about what president biden and vice president biden have done to keep us safe and protect their rights. >> donald trump, for his part, he would rather return here to capitol hill for the first time since a january 6th attack. including those who condemned him following the riot. senator mitch mcconnell says he shook hands with trumpet multiple times. do they have amnesia, as congresswoman nancy pelosi has suggested? i'm interested with the apparent about-face in allegiance to donald trump. >> amen, alex. i think it's nauseating to see such slavish devotion to delusion. here is the chief engineer behind the january 6th insurrection walking past capitol police and house floor employees who protect us and help us every single day and whose lives he put at risk to go and talk to sycophant republicans in the house and in the senate, and the only language he knows -- quid pro quo. he says, i will help you if you help me. look how that helped michael cohen, rudy giuliani, herman cain. he went to republican congress people and said, hey, take out doj. under resource homeland security. defund the government. put out bills that hurt allies, our veterans, our women. confused the american people on reproductive rights. don't talk about how good the economy is going. condescend africa, and i will endorse you. what the speaker johnson do? he comes out and says, hey, we talked to presidential candidate donald trump, but we are going to drink that bleach again. >> when you put it like that, it is stunning. donald trump was in detroit yesterday trying to win over black voters. his advantage with them somewhat waning. congressman jim clyburn said, he thinks something is wrong with the polling. take a listen. >> anybody who believes that donald trump will get 30% of the black male vote or 12% of the black female boat -- i got a bridge down there on johns island i'll sell you. >> so look. as we know, the black voting block is not a monolith, but is it a false narrative that some portion of black voters are somehow leaving trump? and if it is, who can help shift this message for president biden's campaign? >> as you know, i just voters, not the polls. i think black voters have been historically very quiet. we keep our cards close to the best when it comes to who we are going to -- and we came out in droves. because of trump, almost half of black women live in states that have little or no abortion access. that also means they live in states where either they or their providers or partners can be criminalized. that is because of trump. and biden and democrats are working to reverse that. biden is the one who cut student debt. he is cutting medical debt. he has created an economy that has historically low unemployment numbers for black americans. he's the one who has a vice president was a black woman and put a black woman on the supreme court. he is the one who has funded the office of civil rights and people j. what has trump done? trump told black folks, hey, kill your nana. covid isn't real. trump staffed the courts with judges who are taking away the black right to vote. he has allowed china to go in and exploit so many of our democratic allies on the continent. he has said white supremacists are fine people and he's created a reality real vice presidential hopefuls telling black people that jim crow was good for them. we just have to continue to rewind the tape and show the receipts to black voters to show the contrast between president biden and donald trump. >> congressman clyburn also told politico that he's going to skip prime minister benjamin not netanyahu's speech next month. he's considering holding an alternative event. representative saying he plans to skip it as well. you are a member of the foreign affairs community. is it disrespectful 28 u.s. ally not to attend? does the ongoing war challenge that? and will you attend? >> you know, every representative needs to make the decision that is best for them, their heart, and their district. i will tell you, i am still in my feelings about how congress, you know, treated president obama by inviting prime minister netanyahu to speak before congress. you know, i think president biden has been very gracious and patient and stern with prime minister netanyahu, who, at times, has thumbed his nose at the president. i do think this invitation is rewarding bad behavior by the speaker to netanyahu. i also think it is incredibly disingenuous that he disinvited the president of kenya, who has been a strong ally to us, was working with us at haiti, and an incredible democratic ally on the continent of africa. i, too, and in my feelings about this invitation. >> all right congresswoman, good to see you as always. he will have you back again soon. you reaction to president biden's recent border crackdown as he continues new actions to protect undocumented spouses of u.s. citizens. julie, welcome. what is the latest on this? >> just symbolically, we are cupping up against an anniversary of the program that has rewarded so many young migrants who came to this country who congress have not been able to protect over the last couple of years and decades, and making that program permanent. that is definitely something the administration is looking at closely in terms of our wording to extend this program to the undocumented spouses to give them work permits to make sure they are protected against deportation. at the same time, given that this is something that hispanic lawmakers that i speak to here regularly have called for an immigration advocates as well, the biden administration did put forward some administrative action that we have reported here on extensively that would cap the number of migrants, the number of illegal migrants throughout the points of entry to cap that number and to turn them away. let's take a listen to what a progressive member of the house had to say about that. on the flipside, you will hear from senator jd vance, a conservative republican and someone who is in the running to be the president's vp pick this time around. watch this. >> i don't think it's the right policy. i understand the presidents frustration. he has waited three years to get congress to fund immigration judges, border patrol. we haven't done it. we have an artificial cap, and people are basically going to go to gangs and come through non-port of entries. and we don't want to have that situation on the border. >> to deport every single illegal alien that came into this country during the biden regime. >> of course, vance there is speaking at a very conservative congress conference in michigan, turning point usa. he is speaking to mainly a crowd of trump supporters. the thing is, when you hear that dynamic, what these lawmakers are pushing back against in terms of this executive action, the biden administration is trying to be on the offense when it comes to this issue. you contrast that with what a republican audience wants to hear, maybe even independent voters who see immigration and the heightened exasperation of illegal immigration over the last couple of months and years. certainly, the biden administration has to toe the line here. >> thank you for that. there's new reporting about donald trump's private request from house speaker mike johnson. we are back with that in 90 seconds. em,... ...we're going for a better treatment than warfarin. eliquis. eliquis reduces stroke risk. and has less major bleeding. over 97% of eliquis patients did not experience a stroke. don't stop taking eliquis without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking, you may bruise more easily... ...or take longer for bleeding to stop. get help right away for unexpected bleeding or unusual bruising. it may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor about eliquis.
