cnn breaking news good morning. >> you were alive in the cnn newsroom? of those pro-palestinian protests on college campuses in the turks and caicos. and the head of the government there is addressing the arrest of five americans for allegedly bringing live ammunition onto the islands were on that in a moment and we're watching the arrival right now. but your show, you live at the white house watching the arrival of the kenyan president and first lady at the white house. it's the first official state visit for an african leader to the united states, to the white house since 2008. and we'll have more on those pictures in just a moment. but first we begin with the trouble on tap for ticketmaster, the justice department is expected to announce a major lawsuit at any moment against ticketmaster's owner live nation, accusing the concert giant of operating a monopoly. the government alleges live nation of users it's industry

dominance for years to stifle competition and rip off fans that issue was on full display in 2022 when ticketmaster glitches blocked millions from purchasing tickets, you remember this to taylor swift's erez tour. as swift might say, karma is a congressional hearing that fiasco lead lawmakers to grow company executive he lives up on capitol hill last year and cnn senior crime and justice reporter, katelyn polantz joins me now, and kaitlyn, that's further evidence that i don't write all the scripts when they work in the taylor swift pun, there. but this is a big deal and it affects millions of americans who are just really frustrated with buying concert tickets these days and other live events yeah, the dominant provider of tickets for concerts across the united states, live nation in their subsidiary ticketmaster, they are not out of the woods, jim, in this situation, they are expecting their is a very large expectations of the justice department and several states are going to be filing a lawsuit against them. >> essentially acute losing the company of having an monopoly,

monopolizing the sales of tickets to consumers, having a situation where consumers are paying too much paying and service fees. and also that musicians and venues end up in this endless cycle locked in to use saint ticketmaster as their ticket provider. now there was quite a lot of blowback, both political and in the public sphere after there were glitches when the taylor swift erez store tickets went on sale last year for that tour? that was quite a significant situation, but we have been looking expecting a lawsuit like this for for some time by the justice department. now, we have also jim heard from live nation leadership in the past. they have defended their pricing models, how they operate and sell tickets that they do it in all in and they are often allowing prices to be set by artists and the teams around them and that they are very proud that they've been

able to cut out scalpers from the process, but that ticket sales and the way that the resale business for ticket master also works. all of that jim, it could be leading in the future in court with this lawsuit to quite a bit for this company of trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble. >> yeah a lot of trouble very good. >> aren't caitlin homelands thank you very much. over the justice department were all about the taylor swift puns here, caitlin, thanks so much coming up in about 30 minutes. senator amy klobuchar has been leading the charge against live nation up on capitol hill. she will join me to talk about that in just a short while from now. so stay tuned for that now to the white house as we were just showing you just a few moments ago, president joe biden, and the first lady joe biden, are welcoming the kenyan president william ruto, and first lady rachel ruto. their official state visit mark 60 years of diplomatic relations between the us and can you can see the pomp and circumstance on the south lawn of the white house house as we speak, as her

striking up the ban there. and with me now to talk about this, a mancha on coup as she is the africa practice head for the eurasia group and cnn white house or responded. priscilla alvarez from the south lawn of the white house for us, for so i hope you can hear me tossing to you over all that racket there in the background. but what are we expecting from today's visit? >> notably, this is the first episode state visit of an african leader since 2008, now looming over the pomp and circumstance around me is china's influence in africa. this factor in scheduling, this visit has been china's influence in the region as the us and china job aki for economic and geopolitical influence. now they are going to discuss a range of issues in their meetings today that includes elevating kenya from a regional to a global partner as well as private sector investments and the importance of democracy, and they're also going to announce a spate of commitments to that end, including i'm feeling a document known as the nairobi

washington visit, which which called vision i should say, which calls on creditors to help and alleviate the financial burden of african countries, but also designating kenya as a non, a major, non nato allies. so clearly the two countries trying to strengthen their alliance here today. and of course, jim, in 2022 at president biden said that he was all in on africa, but he hasn't been able to visit like he committed to do as he is also had to grapple with multiple foreign conflicts. so today the two will continue their discussions during as three day visit including a state dinner this evening. jim all right. >> very very good for so good timing there as a music fired up again there over the white house and amaka, you're with me here in the studio. i did want to ask you about this. this is the first state visit is we're saying by an african leader, since 2008, or the other thing that is going on with can you obviously a very important us partner, i was there with barak obama when he visited the

country. when he was in office. but kenya is devoting peacekeepers to the situation in haiti right now. so they're an important partner? yes. >> i think. important to lead the context here for this, right? 49 countries if you take out north africa, that's can be a big chunk of your un votes. i think the us was surprised when russia, ukraine conflict started. there weren't that many, there wasn't, there was some sort of countries that didn't explicitly aligned with the us. and i think that has set off a concerted foot to show the region that the us really cares. and of course, the china's lurking in the background. so that's the context for this. now, why kenya the bigger country's economies and the region south africa and nigeria, a little bit more problem children right now, right? so that africa has been very clear about disagreeing with the us, ukraine, and israel and iran nigeria had an election where the president won. we're just

37% of the votes lots of nigerians will be screaming at us on social media to kenya is a safe choice. >> yeah and we're watching some of the pomp and circumstance as brazil was calling it a few moments ago. >> they're on the south lawn, these visits are always so remarkable. to watch with the choreography and the music. when i was there at the white house whenever they did this, there was just a sight to behold, but just to underline what you were saying, there are few moments ago, mako africa is a pretty critical battleground right now, russia, china both trying to bolster their influence in that part of the world and the us has been criticized for not doing enough, not meeting that challenge and that's like like i said, that's a part of the context for this, right? >> it part of what a lot of africa in partners have been saying is that the us hasn't put economic transformation front and center in its relationship. it's been a lot more value promotion. and that's what china was starting

to get an again, an upper hand because it was funding more infrastructure projects and people saw at more than economic partner this isn't attempts to say a look, you'll see a lot of routers doing on this trip has been he went to visit coca-cola office. there has been announcement of a $1,000,000,000 investment from microsoft and uae. >> so there's, there's a lot of focus on economic cooperation, right we can talk about the haiti as well. >> yeah. no, that's very important. you have persil alvarez. i mean, that has that was we were all at old enough to remember what haiti flared up in recent months. and it was a prickly problem for the president for this administration. and if they're enlisting the help of kenya, other african countries, other partners around the world, and trying to stabilize that a very troubled nation right now that obviously is going to be a huge help to the president during a reelection campaign. what more can you tell us about what you're observing on your end?

>> that's exactly right. and in fact, the president just came out behind me now to your point, may have looked to kind to help stabilize the situation in haiti, which has been spiraling especially as they tried to avoid putting us troops on the ground there. and to your point about reelection when you think about haiti and potential migration to the united states, which they have had to grapple with before it could feed into those concerns about immigration in that political vulnerability. but all the same that is just one. again of many issues that you also to think about. israel in this context is the us it has become somewhat isolated from the world on this issue and its support of israel including among some african nations. and so it's also trying to continue that relationship with kenya and solidify that cooperation in the region. so of course, all of this is going to be discussed. you can see images there of the president greeting the kenyan president, as well as the first lady and

the two of them setting up for a photo, there will hear about more of this over the course of the day. and again, this is a three-day visit, so multiple opportunities for the two to discuss these issues yeah, we see the president there. and the first lady with mr. and mrs. ruto president of kenya, also a greeting vice president kamala harris, the second gentleman, doug emhoff, secretary of state, secretary of defense. i mean, this is i mean, this is rolling out the red carpet figuratively and literally, the biden administration doing for this very key african partner amaka on cpu and personal alvarez, thanks to both of you very much, very important discussion. really appreciate it. all right. still to come will speak with the congressman who just came back from the turks and caicos as five americans remain detain their his warning about those americans and their fate that's coming up in just a few violent earth with, we have primer premieres june 2 at nine on cnn today.

in new york and this is cnn right now up on capitol hill that heads of several major universities are facing tough questions over antisemitism on college campuses and who should be held accountable presidents from ucla, rutgers, and northwestern are testifying before the house education and the workforce committee following protests and ramp it reports of discrimination. this is the same committee that blasted university leaders from harvard, the university of pennsylvania. and mit for failing to content condemned antisemitism as well as harassment and bullying on their campuses. a pen president lives magilligan, we'll call step down just days after that hearing. will continue to monitor the hearing and bring you any headlines as they happen. also happening this morning, the leader of the turks and caicos speaking out as five americans, face of stiff prison sentences for allegedly bringing ammunition. honore the islands in case you were not aware of this bringing he ammo to the turks and caicos

is strictly forbidden and tourists who violate the law could face up to 12 years in prison and several americans have been caught up in this let's discuss now with republican congressman josh brecheen of oklahoma is part of a bipartisan group of lawmakers who recently traveled to the turks and caicos to push for the release of those americans. congressman, thank you very much for being with us very important story. what's your reaction to what the turks and caicos leadership is saying right now what do you want to see done? >> well i want to see justice, jim, and that's what every american needs to be paying attention to. justice. does the punishment match the infraction? and they passed a law where it's a no tolerance policy and when you use the word ammunition i see you on the visual, ryan watson from oklahoma, my home states and her mullins home state when senator melons began to dig into this and begin to reach out to the state department and try to intercede. i called him and thanked him for doing that. and then he said, would you be interested in a trip tension? i

said absolutely. justice for these families has to occur. and i'll take sharitta grier for a moment and african american grandmother from florida. surprised mother's day gift from her daughter. so she she has five grandkids. she's never been fired. a firearm. she packs this bag that i guess held the firearm in some bullets and she runs for a quick trip to celebrate mother's day. i mean, this woman is almost in tears. abc's reporting on the conditions that she's dealt with. and it's an astounding she's never even fired a firearms, didn't know the bullets were in there and when we use the word ammunition, let's make sure we're clear. these are a few shells in one case it's two bullets facing a 12-year minimum sentence incarceration, by the way, they're prison system is sanctioned by the united nations that's that's that's a note for humanitarian conditions. >> so what are the leaders and the turks and caicos say when you bring all of this up, and i guess the other question that stands out is, why didn't the

tsa detect some of these bags that had the guns and ammo in them? what happened there well, in regards to what turks and caicos is saying, they've got a 12-year minimum sentence. >> they said that there's prosecutorial discretion. but as we're setting in front of the governor, setting in front of the premier, be like the speaker of the house in the united states, and also the attorney general. i asked the attorney general and the chief investigator the chief of police, if you have prosecutorial discretion, what are we missing here? there's no criminal history on these people. there's no intent in the case of tyler from virginia he had bullets bullets, couple of bullets that fell through the same and the lining of his bag, unless you have an x-ray machine, you're not going to know this. and so tyler it, is facing 12 years incarceration. they're saying we've got prosecutorial discretion and i'm asking well, why didn't even get charged? why has he been detained for months on end and why did you even move

forward with this if you have prosecutorial discretion, then their second follow-up is will give us the opportunity for a special circumstances for a judge to bring forth justice. the problem with that, jim, is we've had a us citizen just a few months ago for the same top of infraction, who spent five months in that prison. that's been sanctioned by the un. and so are our contention is, and i said this to them. my goal was to step on their toes without messing up their shine, understanding they have are sovereign entity as a provenance of the uk. and we were speaking the truth truth, and doing it diplomatically, but i reminded them 65% of their gdp is dependent upon tourism, of which 80% is from the united states, 75% of the investment of the hotels in villas is from the united states and i said to them 15 years ago, my wife and i celebrated our honeymoon two weeks here in your country. but if i was to tell my wife based upon the story i heard from tyler a couple of bullets slipping through seeing that he'd never would have known about that. we would come back

over here for an anniversary. i said my message to my wife is i don't know that we could pass that test. yeah. unless you it's just amazing yeah, it's certainly not good good publicity for turks and caicos tourism. >> i mean, what's been happening right now, but congressman, please keep us posted on how this develops and what happens with these america is hopefully they can get home. it's very large it's going to be a telling thing what happens with sentencing coming up for the gentleman for pennsylvania he had john fetterman was on the trip. >> but let me just say this. if justice doesn't occur, then americans have to also respond and we've said that diplomatically to turks and caicos, every tool in our economic toolbox ought to be on the table here to make sure justice occurs all right, congressman. thanks very much for your time. we appreciate it. >> thank good job. >> all right. we're following breaking news out of the supreme court. write an opinion, just came down involving the south carolina congressional maps, cnn's jessica schneider joins me now. jessica this is a very important story. what can you tell us?

>> yeah, jim, so that congressional map that's been disputed for several years in south carolina, it will remain in place. it was upheld by the supreme court this was a 6-3 decision written by justice samuel alito and basically this was the case where the lines had to be redrawn in south carolina. this involves districts one one, and six of the congressional districts down in south carolina. it's a coastal region near charleston. >> and there was a dispute that race had factored too much into the map making process. >> this when this went to trial, it was said that no race didn't factor in there, mostly looking at politics, republican versus democrat and today the supreme court says that that reasoning stands, that there's no reason to believe that race was the factor four redrawing these leinz. now, interestingly, this ruling centers on the congressional seat held by republican nancy mace. so this really, at least for right now dashes the hopes of demos crowds to pick up

potentially another seat in south carolina. i will note that even though the supreme court is upholding this map, and it will be in effect for the 2024 election. they are allowing the legal challenges to continue on this, not on the race part of it, but another claim that these black voters had made so there is still the potential that this congressional map could get blown up. but for now, this congressional map that was disputed as disadvantages, black voters gym, it will stay in place for the 2024 election, potentially beyond in a 6-3 decision from the supreme court, gym all right. >> fascinating development. obviously, they're gonna be a lot of these battles around the country as the balance of power in washington up on capitol hill is going to hinge perhaps on some of these kinds of cases are just cash knitr. thank you very much. we'll be right back. >> the nba playoffs. i always get emotional. you more concerned about what's going on inside the nba than what's

to our top story. the department of justice is expected to file an antitrust lawsuit against live nation, the owner of ticketmaster, joining me now to talk about this democratic senator amy klobuchar of minnesota. she is the chairwoman of the judiciary subcommittee on antitrust competition policy, and consumer russ center, your reaction to i think what a lot of americans have been waiting for for some time for somebody to do something about these insane ticket prices exactly for anyone who has had to pay their kids, high school kids tickets to their favorite band and find out the 30% of them are added fee is for anyone who's stood in line, awaited all day online to try to get taylor swift tickets or anyone who's gotten to a concert venue in this does happen. jim and find out that they have actual fake tickets this has to change. and so this is about a major monopoly. they and control 90% 90% of major billboard ticket sales, top 40,

80% of major arenas. and they control 70% three-headed monster when it comes to monopolies, they also promote the acts and so big surprise the justice department is filing a major action two today are hearing brought out a lot of evidence, including from artists from fans about why this is such a problem. and we filed a bill on this center, cornyn and myself, i'm putting fans first, but really the meat of all this is going to happen with this justice department lawsuit that we are soon to find out about today? >> yeah. i mean, i it's not just concert tickets center. i mean, i took my kids to march madness. i thought i needed a second mortgage for that one. >> only buy. what kind of changes can happen here realistically get a handle on yes. so when you have a monopoly and time and time again, whether it's way back in the old days with teddy

roosevelt and the railroads. now, when you have a minute appellee, at first, it seems okay. hey, it's easy to use. >> but then over time, the fees and the money goes up and up and up because there's no competition. >> our whole economy is based on good competition capital is, and that's how it works. so that's the first thing they can do to guarantee competition that brings praises down, provides better services. the second thing is the work that senator cornyn and nine others are doing to say, hey, got to do something much more about the bots, more transparency. so the prices can't go up while you're online automatic refunds. if a concert is canceled, come on. and so all of these things combined legislative action and this lawsuit is going to make a difference and it doesn't matter if you're a swiftie or if you're a fan of bad bunny or bruce bring 16 people have experienced this problem, not to mention, as you note, sporting events. so i'm pretty excited that they're moving forward today. it is a big, big

company to take on because monopolies are never easy to beat out. they've got a lot of power. they get a lot of people so that they hire to go and lobby you and do things like that. we've seen that all over congress. but i've been more than willing to take on this fight and i'm not going to give up till it's done. >> and center i did want to ask a subject that's a little off topic. i know you're on the judiciary committee and you've probably seen the news lately. there's been a lot of coverage of the flag choices of supreme court justice samuel alito, not only at his home in alexandria for your virginia, but out at the beach on another flag apparently that's been embraced by the far-right and election deniers. what's your response to that? and is there anything realistically that can be done about it? >> share when we have had this breakdown of trust in the court of course, justice thomas's involvement, his refusal to recuse his wife's involvement in all of this when he's been recused himself from other cases along the way. and now

this width of flagged i think the best thing is to set high ethical standards and to go out there and say, you know what, we're going now, recuse ourselves when there's what we call, there is any kind of indication of a conflict because you lose trust when that happens, there's other justices on that court that can make decisions people recuse themselves all the time. the second piece of this is clear ethics laws, while justice roberts, chief justice, and the court has come out and say that they're going to do some their own rules of conduct. i think we need to enshrine this in law. >> all the other judges in the federal system abide by a set ethical rules rules of conduct. >> we need to have the same applied to the supreme court. i think those things would go very far in terms of building trust in the court's decisions but you know, if justices thomas and alito don't recuse them cells, for example, in cases that pertain to january 6, for example, or the upcoming election, those kinds of cases doesn't it?

>> for in the minds of some americans call into question the legitimacy of whatever decision is handed down by the supreme court perhaps further eroding trust in the high court yes, it does. >> and that's what bothers me. i believe in our court system, i believe in a system of checks and balances and just today, a court case came out on gerrymandering where you have justice alito talking about partisanship. all of this, the decision in dobbs that willingness to overrule decades and decades and decades of precedent and create chaos across our country all of these things make people lose trust. and what's happening over at the court. and this is just one more thing. and if you have something in your life and this has happened all the time with judges. >> they were recuse themselves from case because either an actual conflict or the appearance of a conflict is enough to make a judge say, you know what my fellow judges will be able to make this decision? >> gen. find. and i'm going to

recuse myself from this case. and this is exactly what he should be doing. >> all right. senator amy klobuchar, thank you very much for your time. we appreciate hope you get a handle on those ticket prices ready to go? >> i'm thinking about you with that pencil mortgage, but i'm thinking about all my people in minnesota. we loved music for the homeless, prince. people deserve to be able to go see a concert with their families and afford to do it. all right. thanks, senator. appreciate we'll be right back the assignments are going off and playing the 20 hit i'm thinking it's a die. and i thought that was it fondly, earth with liev schreiber premieres june 2 at nine on cnn. i'm richard car and i love my host. my hose is lightweight my host will not kink and my hose is anti leak. it ate those old hoses. this is my host. the new pocket hose, copper bullet, now infused with

keepsake app. we would love a chance to frame it for you i've hanako montgomery and tokyo and this is cnn overnight, former president donald trump continued to spread the baseless conspiracy theory that president biden wanted to assassinate him during the fbi is mar-a-lago search for classified documents in a past

midnight truth, social post, trump even insinuated that the secret service detail that he has would have been quote, in the line of fire here's a fact check authorizing the use of deadly force during an fbi search is standard protocol. >> in fact, the search of president biden xom included the exact same provision that's not stopping trump, though, from fundraising off of his lies in an email, tidal, they were authorized to shoot me yes, that's what it says. his campaign falsely claimed biden was locked and loaded, ready to take me out. let's discuss with cnn political commentator van jones and cnn commentator geoff duncan van de first i mean there are times when i'm reading the teleprompter, i'm reading this stuff like i can't believe the words that are coming out of my mouth. and this is one of those cases because it almost seems foolish to ask you a van, what do you think about that? i mean, obviously it just boggles the mind well, it's very dangerous. >> i mean, we can kind of put it a cartoon clown nonsense from donald trump. but what

he's doing is consistently undermining the american public's faith in america's government, america's government is not authorizing anybody to kill donald trump but you start putting these conspiracies out there over and over again. this is termite politics. you're eating into the foundational competence of the people in the government. that's d legitimating americans government. that's what for an average serious tried to do. that's what iran is trying to do. that's what russia is trying to do. donald trump is eating into the legitimacy of american democracy and he does this type of stuff and we don't know where it ultimately leads, but it's not a good place. >> yeah. jeff, i mean, what do you think? i mean, obviously there's some folks out there who believed this stuff. otherwise, they wouldn't put it in a fundraising email it's par for the course for donald trump. we watched this play out with the 2020 election cycle. we watched his play out over and over and over again. and quite honestly, it's one of the reasons why i as a lifelong republican, have decided to change my support to support

joe biden, even though he's a democrat, lifelong democrat, because we cannot take four four years of this chaos and lie and the willingness to just do anything to remain in power it's dangerous, it's reckless. and as a country that it is expected to be a part of leading this entire world. we cannot put people in powerful positions that are willing to do and say anything to stay in charge and you can't put your head in this sand and pretend like he's not saying this stuff when he's saying this stuff and van, i did want to ask you to that point, the geoff was raising me. >> nikki haley said yesterday, she's going to vote for donald trump let's listen to what she said yesterday, how she characterized the former president earlier this year we'll compare and contrast. let's listen i will be voting for trump, the herd mentality is enormously strong. >> a lot of republican politicians have surrendered to it. i feel no need to kiss the ring. i put my priorities on a president who's going to have

the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account. >> he's all but said he's going to abandon ukraine that's a massive gift to vladimir putin. >> trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me. i genuinely hope he does that. >> he says there'll be barred from maga permanently. that's not the way you win election. >> he's not qualified to be the president of the united states and van i'm sure you've been watching this just like the rest of us have been watching these primaries come out where you see these big chunks of republicans voting for nikki haley, even though she's been out of the race for a long time now we're are those voters, haley supporters, or they just republicans who want an alternative to trial. but i guess geoff, i'll ask you the same question as well. what's your sense of event?

>> well i'm there's probably a mix of both a warrant. want to tell you this kind of stuff. turns people off it makes it seem like politics is just like professional wrestling that you turn heal this moment, you turned another way, another moment that nobody really believes anything. there's no principles, there's no values anymore. i respect republicans. like our guests here are our colleague here, who actually says, what he means, it means what he says if you don't think this guy is qualified and you spent a year two on the country. he's not, you can't turn around two seconds later and say you're gonna vote for him and start to defending them. this is dangerous because it makes a lot of people think this whole thing is a force, this whole thing is a sham she's doing a disservice to her her party and her country by making this reversal, which is i think very, very, very unprincipled in disappointing yeah. >> i mean, jeff i mean, do you were saying you don't want a president who abandons allies and takes on adversaries. i mean, if you look at the situation in ukraine, i mean,

he's trump has said that he has a plan to end the war in ukraine and basically involves giving much of ukraine to the russians so there's a clear and inconsistency there, but your reaction to this haley news it's hard to listen to just like all the other folks that have been along the way that ran against him and really stuck their heads up against all the chaos that his son across our country in our party. >> but it's an is what it is and either folks are going to get in line just because he's got an r next to his name or they're going to genuinely get to the spot where i'm at and know that the only way our party gets back on its feet and in a position to lead is to get rid of donald trump. if we hired a room full of really expensive consultants, that how do we fix the republican party? every one of them would come back with you've gotta get donald trump out of the mix. for me. i think that's putting my trust and joe biden and working with his administration to drag him back towards the middle on immigration inflation. israel, all these issues that are close in their separation from but it's hard

and everybody in donald trump's life, we're watching this play out in the courtroom, whether it be personally, professionally, or politically everybody that gets no donald trump ends up regretting it. that light at the end of the tunnel turns out to be a freight train that just bulge you over. and i do truly believe long-term this will be a negative for nikki haley's political career. i'm not saying she can overcome it. i'm just saying she will regret my opinion. putting her her brand and stamp that she's worked hard to build behind donald trump yeah. >> and van i've just a short while ago, i was talking to senator amy klobuchar about this flag controversy when it comes to the supreme court, justice samuel alito, you had the upside down flag at his house in virginia and then another flag outside is beach house the flag that's been embraced. it dates back to the revolutionary war, but it was embraced by election deniers around january 6 she says sam alito should recuse himself and i'm just wondering, then we've seen in the polls a lot of democrats sort of disillusion this election cycle. younger democrats might the supreme

court issue sort of energized things on the democratic side. do you think is that something that maybe the biden team should be emphasizing a bit more? >> well, i mean, i don't think that would energize younger voters some of the more disaffected voters aren't paying attention to that kind of my new share. i think they're more concerned about just a sense of lack of hope or direction, which i think democrats need to be a better about inspiring young people i do think that sam alito is also playing with fire here what are you doing? >> it makes zero sense for you to be flying hyper-partisan politicals, symbols outside of your house, who does that? >> what judge on planet earth does that, that is literally the definition of you are not a judge, you or a political actors this and so there's really no reason for him to do something like that. and it puts it again, it puts the country in jeopardy when people no longer believe in even the supreme court, which is where we're headed all right. >> van and jeff guys, thanks so much. really appreciate it

thank you. all right. coming up the upcoming summer season also means hurricane season. the new predictions they don't sound good. that's next the leaf with jake tapper today it for on cnn actually you don't need vision to do most things in life yes. >> i'm legally blind and yes, i'm responsible for the user data visualization. >> if i can see it and understand that quickly, anyone can making complex things clear that's how i help people thrive people who know no video pam, brian, gary, and today we're talking about the biggest misconception there is about replacement windows i'm here with ted cones, the project manager for renewal by anderson to talk about it. >> yeah. one of them big things we hear from homeowners is i

shouldn't need to replace my windows. they're just not that old. but here's the thing. >> homebuilders put in high-end kitchens and bathrooms, and low in windows just aren't that good. so even if you're winters are only seven to ten years old, they may still need to be replaced. >> said this so many window companies out there, what's different about your company? >> well, besides being the full service replacement window division of anderson we're the company people tend to call when their particular about their home. they don't want just any old window or any oil and solid. >> so you're standards for installers are pretty high, right? >> yeah. brian, you can have the best window or door in the world, goldman, if it's not installed correctly, it's going to fail. so we don't hire these jack of all trades installers that do gutters and siding on the side at our window installation teams. do our windows year-in, year-out, and i've done thousands of them anytime a homeowner has to deal with multiple home improvement companies, they get stuck in the blame game. yeah. with other companies, if there's an issue, the manufacturer blames the installer. the installer blames them manufacturer with

us. there's no finger pointing. or blaming each other. we're both the installer and the manufacturer said, is it easy for a homeowner to get a price very easy will come out to your house, will assess your current patio door windows, and then we'll give you an exact price. >> that's good for an entire year. >> so that's great information. thank you. >> before may 31st, by one window, patio der or entry door, and get the next one, 40% off. that's 40% off with a minimum purchase of four plus save an extra $200 on your entire purchase with no money down, no monthly payments, and no interest for one year. this off for ends may 31st for a free appointment with renewal by anderson called 180501 you know, what's brilliant think about it. boring is the unsung catalyst for bolt. what straps mold to a rocket and hurdles and into space. >> or guzman boring makes vacations happen, early

retirements possible, and startups start off because it's smart, dependable, and steady all words you want from your bank for nearly 160 years here's pnc bank has been brilliantly boring. so you can be happy to fill, which is pretty and boring if you think about it for over 25 years, love sack has been rewriting the rules of comfort. it's okay to change your style, get messy yet emerged and

the tanner and maria already asked her budget reminder campaign, smart as a judge, a by got it. >> got it. boss. >> honor mesothelioma victims call now $30 billion in trust money has been set aside. >> you may be entitled to a portion of that money, all when 8085920400. that's when 8085920400. that'll the upcoming atlantic hurricane season is set to be a busy one that's according to the national hurricane center, which just released what it says is the most active preseason forecast in the agency's history with me now, meteorologist at least a rough

and cnn chief climate correspondent bill, we're and of course bill, you have a new book out light as we know, it can be stories of people, climate, and hope in a changing world right up your alley bill elisa, let me start off with you real quick what are we looking for here in this forecast? incredibly active season ahead, noah is calling for up to 25 storms, up to 13 of which could be hurricanes, four to seven of those could be major hurricanes. that category three strength or higher oil well above average. and in line, but colorado states forecasts that they issued a few weeks ago. and then when i find remarkable is the confidence that this is going to be an above-normal season. is at 85%. there's only a 5% chance that this could go the other way and be a below normal season. there are a couple of factors that really have us honing in on this above-normal season. the first is that we have alanine. that's that cool ocean in the pacific. well, it can move that jet stream to the north. the jet stream is that path to storminess. it has a lot of wind in it. so with it

out of the way that decreases the wind energy where we need those storms to develop. hurricanes, hate wind shear, they hate that wind energy. so with less of it around, more storms can develop. another huge factor detailed in this report is record ocean temperatures. we know that as our climate warms, these oceans just continue to be incredibly warm. that fuels more storms, makes them stronger and can also make them wetter yeah. >> bill, i mean, this does not sound good for the upcoming hurricane season. what are you looking for me? we always talk about the gulf temperatures that doesn't sound good, but look, what's happening out in the atlantic as elisa was just saying just the idea gem of four to seven category threes this season is scary to think about and it's all comes down to ocean temperatures records at the surface below the surface. and a reminder, we have a graphic to show you that that is what hurricanes feed off of its fuel, their steroids, and to make some bigger and stronger and make some last longer, it brings heavier rain, higher storm

surge. and in recent years, we've learned this new term rapid intensification, where a storm will go for a cat from a category one or two to a four or five in a matter of hours catching communities off guard. and so obviously the most vulnerable state these days, the gulf coast of texas and louisiana vulnerable. it's warm there as well, but florida already still reeling from a dahlia and hurricane. ian, the most expensive and state history, a couple of years ago and ironically, even as they hit a heat dome with temperatures in the keys of over 100 115 degrees for a week, there other government of florida, the desantis administration strip the words climate change out of future consideration for lawmakers as symbolic sort of culture wars move. he's also rejected federal aid that would make florida homes more energy efficient and so it's really interesting the nature and the human nature that's on playing this summer yeah. >> just feels like we're

sticking our heads in the sand at the beach as these big storms are turning out for the summer, bill, i guess we'll be seeing you out there covering these hurricanes and alisa, we know you'll be in the weather center covering them as well, thanks to both of you very much. we're going to keep on eyes our eyes on all of that as a summer gets going, your guys. thank you very much. and thank you for joining us this morning. i'm jim acosta. our next hour of newsroom with wolf blitzer. it starts right now, i have a great happening this hour watching several important news stories unfolding live right here on cnn at any moment now, the us attorney general well, merrick garland is expected to announce that the justice department is suing ticketmaster's parent company. >> it would set up an antitrust flight that could reshape the multi-billion-dollar live music industry and president biden sitting down with kenya's president william ruto, with china's expanding role in africa looming over the state visit also write down, congress has gr
