washington and vif is cnn happening now, donald trump works to rally republicans at a perilous moment for him with jurors on the brink of deciding his fate even as he's gearing up for his first high-stakes debates with president biden. >> here on cnn, we're learning more about both candidates strategies right now as the presidential race eggs into a new phase, also tonight, tens of millions of americans are on the move as a long holiday weekend gets underway, standby for updates on the record-setting rush to airports and the severe weather that could make traveling dangerous, plus historic deal is paving the way for colleges and universities to pay student athletes the nc delay sports could be changed forever welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer, a urine. this situation room

heads into unchartered territory. donald trump could potentially learn within a few days if these the first former president of the united states to be convicted of crimes at the same time, he's gearing up for the early he is presidential debate between general election candidates in modern history, cnn's kristen holmes as more on trump's efforts to rally support at this critical moment former president donald trump training the courtroom for the campaign trail this holiday weekend, we're going to win so big as the jury in his criminal hush, money trial is poised to begin deliberations in his case next week. as he continues to try and make inroads with black and hispanic voters. i did criminal justice reform at a level that nobody told was fine. us all again. and i did that dr. julie for the black and hispanic community, trump making a

campaign stop in the bronx thursday night. >> the simple fact is joe biden is not getting the job done for the bronx at that event, trump weighing in for the first time on his former rival, nikki haley's announcement, she would vote for him in november. >> i appreciated what she's did. you know, we had a nasty campaign. it was pretty nasty. but she's a very capable person and i'm sure she's going to be on our team in some form. >> but despite the public thawing and the rivalry, trump and haley still have not spoken since the former south carolina governor ended her bid for sources telling cnn their relationship remains chilled after the contentious primary, saturday is likely to see trump take on another rival rfk junior is a democrat plant, a radical left liberal who has been put in place in order to help crooked joe biden. the worst president in the history of the united states get re-elected independent presidential candidate robert f kennedy, jr. >> junior as the two address the libertarian convention in washington dc on back-to-back days, crumble his team have

increasingly view kennedy as a potential political problem, as the independent gain ballot access in states across the country sustained support in the polls. >> a lot of people think that junior is a conservative. he's not, he's well liberal than anybody running on the democratic sayyed kennedy targeting trump's record during his speech this afternoon with a lockdowns mask mandates the travel restrictions president trump presided over the greatest restriction on individual liberties. this country is that run-on one item likely missing from the former president's? schedule. this holiday weekend debate prep with less than five weeks until the first general election debate in atlanta. sources close to the former president say there have been no formal conversations about preparation, confident he can outperform biden if drug get joe biden makes it through the debate, which i think you will they get a set was one of the great debate performances in history now, will, if donald trump's advisers have told me not to expect your typical

preparation for debate overall, you're not going to see someone sitting in for biden practicing grilling questions are sitting in for the moderators, whether or not they do prep at all will be left to the candidate. >> i do want to say this weekend we're going to see trump in a battleground state, but not campaigning. >> he will be behind the scenes attending the nascar race in north carolina well, kristen holmes reported for us, kristen, thank you. joining us now, the former trump white house communications director, anthony scaramucci, he's also the author of a brand new book entitled from wall street to the white house and back the scaramucci guy to unbreakable resilience. you can see the cover right there anthony, thanks for joining us. trump claimed he was going to win deep blue new york during his rally in the brock's yesterday. do you take that at all seriously? >> no, not anymore seriously than there were 20,000 people there to greet him listen, this is what he does. we're in the age of post truth. you and i both know that and, you know, in my book, i counted for

30,500 and 40 lies that he told over the four years. >> that's according to the washington post. and he's telling lies every single day to the american people and he's also testing the rhetoric of authoritarianism. he's praising dictators. he's out on the stump praising dictators today. and that's sort of a boil. the frog approach wolf, he's trying to see how far he can go in terms of stretching the rhetoric. because if he were to win and he's not going to, but if you were to win, he'll see what he can do. that unitary executive power that him and his team want to push on the american people anthony closing arguments as you know, begin tuesday and trump's new york hush money criminal trial. >> do you think prosecutors did enough to tie trump to the alleged criminal activity? >> i do. i've read through the transcripts and bret, the

testimony, the crosses, the redirects, et cetera i do think the evidence is overwhelming. >> the real question though, because you know what it's like in a jury trial, you could get a situation someone to the oj case his where you get a hung jury or an acquittal not impossible in a case like this but well, if i've said this all along, that case is not going to be material come september, october, november whether he is convicted, are not convicted. >> i don't see the case being the real issue. what's that issue is what did the american people want over the next four years? they want to maintain the system. other democracy, or they want to allow the chaos of donald trump to come in and threatened that system that's what's going to be litigated in the fall. so i don't think the case is going to bear a lot of meaning there'll be a conviction or not a conviction it'll be over in a few weeks the point you're making is backed up in a new quinnipiac university poll, just 6% of

trump supporters say a guilty verdict would make them less likely to vote for him. >> just six 6%. >> so how much do you think the verdict will ultimately will ultimately impact the 2024 election? well, let let's play both sides of the extreme. his guilty of everything and they give them a felony. they're not going to put them in court. they probably will give them home confinement and a fine that will charge his base, if anything, i'll probably raise money off of that. the flip side of that, there's a full acquittal he'll go on he'll he'll say that this was lawfare which you and i both know it wasn't because of the separation of powers in the country and the decentralized nature of our government between the federal and state and local governments. but, but ultimately i think that quinnipiac pole is correct. very few people we're going to make a decision on who the next president is going to be on a case like this. it's unfortunate wolf that those other two cases have been

delayed because those cases were more meaningful. and i think think the facts of those two cases for more for the president in terms of how he imported itself after the presidency and what he did in the days prior to the insurrection. important fact he did on january 6. >> that's why trump's lawyers and trump have been trying to delay all those other cases as much as they possibly can. as you know, biden campaign officials didn't meet with some nikki haley supporters this week after she announced she would be voting for trump. but what do you think biden needs to do to bring some of these disaffected gop voters to his side i think he's gotta go to the trump cabinet. >> that's denouncing donald trump. there's 40 people that have you ever worked for the president inside the white house or were in the cabinet or the sudden cabinet, including the former vice president of the united states that have denounced the president. and are trying to explain to the american people the warning signs. it's sort of a mass

surgeon general's warning. don't go back to this type of chaos, don't go back to this threat to democracy and i would implore the biden campaign in a reach out to those people. those are the people that know the danger. i'm disappointed in governor haley. she knows that danger. she's smarter than what she's doing right now. but there's no backbone in her decision. she's obviously been influenced by these campaign apparatchiks and these campaign consultants that tell her, hey get better support. donald trump, you have no future in that party. a wiser church chilean version of nikki haley would have held or brown, she had 20% of that party and she could have spoke to a vision for a new center, party that dropped the hatred, dropped the threat of violence, dropped the threat of persecution. all of the nonsense does it donald trump represents, and she could have reached out to many non-voters and rebuilt that party but she's not abraham lincoln. >> lincoln, of course, left the whig party and formed, became

the first republican nominee for president in 18, 60, we don't have that type of leadership right now. >> but if i were the biden people, i'd say hey is a binary election, is democracy first, are you a patriot first and a partisan last? come join us so that we can keep this system of government, this great american experiment working for the american people as well as it's worked over the last 250 years anthony scaramucci. >> thanks very much for joining us once again, anthony new book, and i'm holding it up right here from wall street to the white house and back the scaramucci guide to unbreakable resilience. anthony, thanks very much that's a photo that's an expensive photo. >> wolf good luck. >> nice photo on the cover. >> all right. we have breaking he news coming into the situation. right now, only moments ago, the louisiana republican governor jeff landry, signed a bill into law that dow classifieds to abortion-inducing drugs as controlled and dangerous

substances. louisiana's the first state in the united states to take this step. i want to bring in republican strategist michael singleton and former senior adviser to president biden, ashley etienne. ashley, let's start with a breaking news out of louisiana. what's your reaction? >> i mean, this is really a continuation of republicans war against women first, they undermine row and now you've got all these republican states and governors that are implementing near bands on abortion, if not i complete and total bans on abortion. and to add insult to injury, you have the speaker, the head of the republican party ahead o of an entire branch of government going to court to sit in court in support of a person that was convicted of sexual abuse against a woman, the republican party needs to explain to the american women what is it they have against us? why is it that they continue to wage war on our bodies? what is that about sure. >> michael, how concerned should republicans be about a potential, potentially a fierce

backlash from voters as a result of this, as a strategist will if i am concerned for the very points that actually just made, this is just a a position, an area that women and voters were large. you not want republicans touching. we have two years worth of impeccable electrode data that showcases we lose election after election after election on this particular issue when we have an advantage on the economy, we have an advantage on immigration, we have an advantage on foreign policy. those are the three issues does that republicans need to stick to if they expect to do well this november, want to quickly turn your mic a while. i have you to trump's rally in the bronx last night in new york city. here's a bit more of what trump told fox. fox news after his speech. listen to this the party is together. i appreciate what she said. the party is together, and i think we're going to have a tremendous we saw but a former campaign official for nikki haley tells cnn this and let me quote from this official, i think that they assume that will just come

home, which is very bad wishes, a very bad assumption, we get a lot of text messages for fundraising, but we have not had any outreach on the trump campaign. >> what do you think? >> i would advise the campaign to reach out to make that phone call, nikki haley, and trump gap? >> correct. when you look at the voter profile of some of those voters, are those republicans who are still supporting the former governor. many of them voted for president biden in 2020. i am not convinced that they will not repeat that. and this november, but i do believe there's about a third of them who are sitting on the fence waiting to see if there will be some direct appeals from the former president. i think it's about time to move forward with that before the convention do you think actually the biden campaign, the biden team should be doing more to reach out to nikki haley voters. >> i mean, they are aggressively reaching out to nikki haley voters as soon as she announces she's going to vote for the president the vote for the former president, the biden campaign was on the phone with her supporters almost immediately. they've also released an act today that's

specifically targeted according to the campaign to those voters, that really paints a picture. is that remind them here can people have who donald trump is, his threat to american democracy? the fact that he prioritizes revenge over the interests of the american people. so they're, they're, they're making an aggressive push and they recognize that the advantage they have with those voters is those voters are over donald trump's antics. >> they despise what he trump, donald trump represents and his threat to what we believe in the very fabric of the nation. >> so i think they're going to continue to have some luck with, with reaching out to those voters because there's no sign that indicates that trump actually can get those. we have a little clip from that ad. >> let me play it for for viewers, watch this from midnight tweets to drinking bleach, to tear gassing citizens and staging a photo-op. we knew trump was out of control when he was president then he lost the 2020 election and snap desperately trying to hold down the power. >> now he's running again. >> this time, threatening to be a dictator terminating the

constitution. >> if i don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath you think this is effective? >> sriracha i mean, what i'm realizing here is that the biden reelection campaign should do more to talk about the president's record over the past four years. >> and what he plans to do for another four years they're not talking about those things because the reality is most americans don't believe the former the current president rather has done a great job on the economy, on immigration are axial sayyed, fascinating data points that came out earlier today. we'll one that showcase 39% of black workers and 35% of hispanic workers said that they're not doing okay financially the other data set showcase that parents with kids 18 years old or younger or not doing as well financially as well. that's decreased 11 points since 2021, the american people are not doing well in terms of their pocketbook issues and quickly respond well i mean, the amir has the strongest economy in the world the president is creative 15 million jobs record low

unemployment that we're seeing right now. but as i've said previously, i mean, i don't think that i've, been in politics for a long time and i don't think people ever feel very confident in having enough money and enough security economically. >> but, but the reality is, is what really is turning off that 20% of nikki haley voters is donald trump? >> so to bring those voters into the fold, the best approach is what the president is doing now, which is aggressively defining donald trump and the threat that he presents are actually at the end. >> we've got to run next to continue. >> to be sure just ahead. >> we're in the middle of a record breaking travel weekend across the country. >> just as tens of millions of americans are in the path of potentially very dangerous and severe weather. we'll have a live update as the unofficial start to summer kicks off. plus power to the players details on the nearly 3 billion that paves the way for schools to start paying student athletes this is

111,000 people there on pace to break that again this is better than nfl numbers because what we've been told even the day after the super bowl, those numbers of impasse, they believe they will crush those numbers again. but listen to some of the passengers who say they weren't worried about the economy, they weren't worried about all the travel are all the people they just wanted to get out of town i was a little scared and excited, so we left super early, was dead set on traveling tsa checkout or check-in line boards there's too much yeah. here you go. look 2.9 million people traveled yesterday. they believe is going to be 9% above last year. we're talking about numbers that will crush 2019 and i was talking to people who were flying. i was asking them about their average spend for their family. we've had people as low as two $2,000 and we talked to a family that's going to spend over $11,000 on their travel this weekend because they've been putting off this how for quite some time. i'm

talking to people who work in business as well. they believe this will be a positive pop for the economy because with all these people traveling and moving in and out, there's hope tells there's cars connected to this. many of the people who work here at the airport say, these are like times before the pandemic lots of smiles, of course now you got to add in that afternoon rush hour traffic plus people trying to get here. we saw our first delays in terms of air travel across the country. and the last hour or so i'm also checked in with miami they're breaking their records as well as for air travel. so what you're seeing is the domino effect. you see a public that's doing the revenge travel. they want to get out this summer season is starting off strong. >> and experts are saying get to the airport's two hours before your flight, just to be on the safe side there, ryan standby, want to get the chad right track? chad, you you're tracking some severe weather. what should people be bracing for this holiday weekend if you are flying, keep that seat belt on 87 tornadoes so far this

anderson cooper 360 tonight at eight on cnn a groundbreaking agreement could change college sports forever and it could mean student athletes, we begin making some serious money cnn's polo sandoval breaks down the deal and what it means for colleges and universities it's a groundbreaking agreement promising to reshape the fan packed world of college athletics if approved by a judge, the settlement announced by the governing body of college sports paves. the way for universities to pay student athletes and five power conferences this is the most significant day in the history of the entry doublet because the sham that the answer we has always been is over. >> they have always fought on every mountain to defend the right that this is really amateur athletics when we ball known that has not been the case page for a long time, nc doublet president charlie baker saying in a statement, friday,

the nc doublet and coordination with division one conferences promises to pay roughly two $2.7 billion in damages over ten years. the money for thousands of student athletes previously prohibited from accepting endorsements the deal also creates a revenue sharing system allowing schools to pay up to around 20 million a year to division one athletes and conferences like the big ten and the sec, going back to 2016, the system could start by fall 2025 this is the life treads for the opportunity for the student athletes. to share the revenues they've been generating. jeffrey kessler was lead attorney in the antitrust case against the nc doublet that helped reach the unprecedented agreement. >> these athletes work 45 hours a week before they go to a single class. >> they are to dedicate themselves to bake these teams great, and to bringing all these money to these schools.

so it is very high former college football player and nfl wide receiver dante stallworth telling cnn, this is long overdue. you could have learned a lot of five so stability, a lot of find that have a lot of financial resources from that aspect and a lot of guys don't make it to the nfl like i was fortunate enough to do eligible students stand to get a piece of a very lucrative pi and cwa sports generated roughly 1.3 billion in revenue last fiscal year alone. there is skepticism about the deal though 75% of the nba players, nana fell players that have retired at the 5-years, they go broke. okay. that's nba and nfl players what kind of financial literacy? as part of the life of a 91819, 2021 year-old kid. to what extent might they be taken advantage of with regard to the agents? to what extent the academics really, really matter with regard to all this. and those its significant, significant questions that are not being addressed. >> and there are other unanswered questions about a

possible framework, just how exactly will it work? what athletes and sports will profit over others, and how will schools adhere to strict title nine laws, which aims to prohibit sexual discrimination? >> polo sandoval is joining us now, live polo. this is something years in the making is we all know how did we get here this head of agreement wall, it may be new, but not the efforts to get to this point. >> you recall it was only three years ago with the student athletes finally gained the right to legally make a profit off of their name, image, and likeness on their own and then it was just this past march at the men's basketball team at dartmouth college voted to unites, essentially becoming employees of the university that wolf was a major milestone. but that is also part of a separate and very ongoing conversation and debate right now about these student athletes being considered potentially as employees. one that stretches all the way to washington wolf. >> very important point, polo sandoval. thank you very much joining us now, see you then contributor sports broadcaster, carry champion carrie. thanks

very much for joining us. this is significant. this is a monumental move by the nc doublet, allowing these schools, these colleges, universities, to directly pay players for the first time ever. so what's your reaction well, as dante saw were said in the piece long overdue, i think that we have known for a long time that this isn't an amateur athletics program. >> we've watched these coaches. we've watched these heads of these schools make millions and millions of dollars i don't know if you know this wolf, we will talk to some champions. not more than ten years ago and the kids would want a national championship and they wouldn't have money to celebrate, they wouldn't have money to take themselves to dinner yet. and still the school and the ncaa saw millions, if not billions of dollars. so it is a longtime over du, however, there is still so much more work to be done because because it's still very ambiguous how this all shakeout. >> we'll see how it does shake out. >> how could this decision though, impact women college athletes and others outside of

the major revenue generating sports, universities that's a great question. >> and that is one of the things we're still not. it's still unclear. they talked about title nine. it's a federal law that makes sure is there equals scholarships for men and for women at all of these schools. and also that means they should also have equal pay in theory. but let's just be honest, the programs that make the most money are usually the basketball programs and the football programs primarily women's volleyball, doesn't necessarily make money. so i think that the schools as well as the ncaa and the student themselves will have a lot to say about how they will get these funds. will they be distributed equally? i would have to think just on first blush in hearing about it that won't be the case. as but yet and still, i see this playing out that particular issue you just referred to, who will get the funds? how will they be divided? i could see that issue being played out in court as well. >> yeah, me too. what we've seen these name, image, and likeness deal change the nature

of college sports. how does this deal possibly impact that? >> well, i do believe what nil will do, name, image, and likeness. will highlight those players that are really aboveboard in the sense that they're superstars, people like a caitlin clark or if lebron james had went to college or if there was a zion most recently, there are some players because that just especially soon athletes that just stand out above the rest and of course you would think the sponsorship deals would be plenty. however as mentioned, not too long ago, a lot of these students will be making a type of money that they may not ever see their entire lives while in collagen. so the way that i think this will end up playing out how is that they'll need to put some payment structure in place because this landscape could get very scary if you have a 19-year-old making millions of dollars and what left for them to do if they're thinking perhaps i'll just go to college. i mean, i'll just go to the pros. this

feels like the pros anyway. >> good point, carrie champion. thank you very much. just ahead. >> we'll have a live report from jerusalem as the united nations top court issues a very blunt ordered israel over its military operations inside southern gaza assignments are going off and playing the tornado here. i'm thinking i'm going to die and i thought that was fine when earth with liev schreiber premieres june 2 at nine on cnn greeting seven zero. >> yeah, that's not good. happened huge things happen happen be there with three, learn more at rnc.com today. >> and america's beverage companies are bottles might still look the same, but they can be remade in a whole new way. >> thanks to you. >> we're getting bottles back and we've developed a way to make new ones from 100%

week after cnn uncovered this disturbing video of the music mogul throwing them girlfriend cassie ventura to the ground, then kicking in, dragging her on thursday, april lamb pros filed a civil lawsuit accusing combs of sexual assault when she was a fashion student in new york in the mid 90s and shared with him her dreams of working in the fashion industry. then mr. combs love bombed her the suit alleges using flowers and cards like this one and inviting her to his first father's day celebration but combs is kind gestures became more aggressive. the suit alleges leading to a total of four separate sexual assault. the first and alleged rape in 1995, leaving land pros, nude soar and confused. she claims combs used his power in the industry to regain her trust but then in new york city parking garage force lamb pros to perform oral sex as ms lamb proses eyes filled with tears, she could

see the parking garage attendant witnessing this horrific assault. the suit claims land pro says she was caught in an abusive relationship in tried to end it after several years but after running into combs at an event, he pursued her and in late 2000 at her apartment, combs violently grabbed her enforced himself onto her, kissing and touching her against her will. this came the suit notes, while combs was in a public relationship with jennifer lopez, combs develop this mobster persona. the suit claims at one point, violently yanking her down to her knees in pulling her hair, the alleged abuse, similar to this, when combs was caught on hotel surveillance in 2016, kicking and dragging cassie ventura, then throw in a vase at her. >> i hit rock bottom. >> the latest suit filed by lamb pros is the seventh civil lawsuit good against combs, alleging sexual assault many of the cases once fell outside the statute of limitations, but in the case of that shocking video from los angeles, the district

attorney's office says criminal charges won't be filed. the video shows assault, not rape, but with those federal raids on diddy's homes and mark arch legal analysts say the civil claims much like in the case against harvey weinstein, could play into criminal charges in the future. >> and so just because it's a civil lawsuit now, does it mean that prosecutors in looking at evaluating it may not find something that they feel that they can process to cue that makes it fair game for prosecution. and i think it's a faulty assumption to presume that is out of the woods now wolfe i reached out to april land process and she says that the reason why she came forward is so that other women do not have to endure what she did. >> she says that she believes that justice will ultimately prevail. we reached out to diddy's team. no word back yet elizabeth wagmeister. thank you

top ally in belarus today. and quote about the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in that country. the former kgb colonel ruthlessly pressed on with a purge of his top military brass at home two top russian military officials just arrested as vladimir putin's purported campaign to stamp out corruption continues. >> i think it's definitely the biggest military shakeup that we've seen in moscow since the start of the war that we're aware of, one of those arrested lieutenant general, i didn't show marin a top communications officer in the russian army. >> he's a who's of taking large scale bribes. russian state media reports that despite having an annual salary in 2018 of about 32,000 american dollars shamir runs wife in 2022, bought a mercedes worth over $200,000 analysts say, not unusual in a military rife with corruption. >> i the russian military terry is known for padding contracts they will write a big contract and take a cut. this kind of

ramping corruption is normal. and again, the higher you go, the more rampant it is with these latest arrest, five top russian military officials have been arrested in the past couple of months at least four have denied wrongdoing. earlier this month, putin pushed out his longtime defense minister and close ally sergey shoigu and replaced him with an economist this all comes as russian forces have made recent gains on the battlefield in ukraine still grinding war that putin has ramped up spending four russia is moving toward war economy in its true 7% of their gdp now is focused on defense. there, on a war footing but some analysts believe there's more going on inside the kremlin than putin trying to clean up his defense spending. i mean, it really feels to me like a soviet style purge. he's probably done some forensics since the march on moscow how last summer remember bye. bye. yevgeny prigozhin. >> you yevgeny prigozhin, the wagner mercenary chief who led a short-lived rebellion against

the kremlin last year after viciously and very publicly accusing shoigu and the chief of the general staff, valery gerasimov, of not supporting wagner militants on the battlefield. once doing that while strolling among the dead bodies of his mercenaries prigozhin later died in mysterious plane crash. analysts say putin could now be sorting out who's really loyal to him and sending a message to the russian people allows putin to say to his domestic audience, yeah, i'm cleaning shop here and we're going to be in this for awhile experts say it's possible that more purges could be coming from vladimir putin, and that the powerful chief of the general staff, valery gerasimov, might need to look over his shoulder, the one analyst points out, gerasimov, is at the top of the million terry pyramid and putin might need to tread carefully with him. well ryan todd reporting, brian, thank you very much into our viewers. >> thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. have a very safe memorial day weekend
