americans and book your first cleaning today for just $19 this situation room with wolf blitzer. >> week nine to six point cnn you are in the cnn newsroom. >> hi, everyone. i'm jessica dean and washington and we start with breaking news. as

severe weather threatens more than 70 million people. this memorial day weekend, intense tornadoes baseball-sized hail, and hurricane-force winds, all threatening parts of texas, oklahoma, and kansas take a look at this storm chaser video in oklahoma city. >> you see blue sky overhead, but they are also driving straight into that gray sky as well. >> it's very ominous looking cnn meteorologist elisa rafah joining us now, and at least it looks like those tornadoes are starting to spin up and it typically happens are a lot of times when the sun's starts to go down yeah, the sun is what we need to fuel the atmosphere to create these intents and strong thunderstorms. and it's been doing that all de the atmosphere has been cooking all day. that's why the storms are blowing up now. and the danger is it's dishonest going to set soon here, shortly, and that poses an even greater rescue can't see these tornadoes in the dead of night. you've got to tornado watches in effect throughout a lot of kansas,

oklahoma, and then going into texas, the watch there were watching very closely. is this one that includes wichita oklahoma city, and then goes into wichita falls there at the top of texas. that but is it being labeled a particularly dangerous situation? not just because we're expecting tornadoes, but the tornadoes that we are expecting can be strong. they can be violent, they can be long lived. so we tag it with that elevated heightened risk. and this goes until 11:00 this evening. could see there have been multiple tornado warnings just this out, the nice there wichita falls, where storm chasers have spotted a tornado there. and the warnings do continue. we do have another couple of warnings getting closer to oklahoma city, as well as the supercells ignite. and they start to rotate the risk here again goes from wichita falls up to wichita, kansas and then into springfield, missouri because we've got these discrete strong and violent tornado is possible now. but then this

will evolve into a threat four damaging wind gusts up to 84 miles per hour and hail up to the size of grapefruits are possible as well. here's that highest tornado risk again, ef2 or greater possible. then we'll have the wind thread stretch into missouri as we go into the overnight hours. this is the risk for the strong violent tornadoes. you see you all those discrete dots, those are the super sounds that can really spin and be quite violent. then you see how they organized into a line that's the damaging wind threat that pushes through southwest missouri overnight and then continues into the ohio valley as we go through through tomorrow. so the threat continues through sunday, millions of people need to watch out for their memorial day weekend holiday. jessica, i know, hoping everyone stays safe out there at least a rafah. thanks so much for that. >> next our former president donald trump is scheduled to take the stage at the libertarian national convention in its unusual stop for the presumptive republican nominee. >> but a clear sign the campaign is worried about third-party candidates like rfk jr. and also looking to hopefully sway some of these

voters. in recent weeks, trump has stepped up his attacks against the anti-vax candidate jay junior. i call him junior by the way. he's radical don't think about it don't waste your vote. >> we need a conservative person with common says cnn's steve contorno is joining us now. he is. there were the former president is set to speak and steve politicos reporting essentially a brawl broke out at the convention last night in protest to trump's speech tonight. is the former president prepared to be in front of what could be a somewhat unfriendly crowd jessica, he better be because there's already been fireworks in this audience already tonight between trump's supporters in some of these convention attendees who don't understand why their party invited donald trump to speak here in the first place. >> they've been trading jeers and chants back-and-forth with each other. some of the candidates for the presidential

nomination for libertarian party have been addressing trump criticizing him. one of them said, he's a great source of humor for libertarians and said, we have a lot to teach donald trump. we don't know if he has the capacity to learn donald trump is here though, hoping to change some hearts-and-minds, knowing that this is going to be a tight election, and there's not a lot of room for air. listen to why he said he is here this weekend but we have to join with them because they get their 3% every year no matter who's running. and we have to get that 3% because we can't take a chance on joe biden winning i just spoke with a trump adviser here tonight. >> he's sort of explained what trump's pitch will be. two these libertarian voters, there'll be focused on getting government out of our lives, ending foreign wars, and teaming up together to beat joe biden. that's his pitch will see if they'll listen. jessica. >> all right. steve can turn out for us. thanks so much for that reporting. meantime,

president joe biden spending the morning at america's esteemed west point military academy. he delivered the commencement address at west point for this year's graduating class of cadets, calling them, quote, leaders of character. cnn's priscilla alvarez is here with us now and priscilla, the president, offered concrete examples of why these west point cadets are so valued here at home and in the world and those examples were directly tied to the ongoing conflicts that we are seeing around the world, for example, the war in ukraine and ongoing conflict that the president reflected on, including the strength of the nato alliance. and he also talks about the situation in the middle east, not only the ongoing us efforts to get aid into gaza the important role that the military plays, but also reflecting on the moment in the situation where he was surrounded by military leaders when there was that iranian missile attack against israel. so clearly underscoring how important these cadets are and will be in the future and saying so himself, take a listen women and men in uniform

are hard at work stretching are alliances because no country has allies like ours invested into terms anyone who thinks they can threaten us. thanks again. defending our values by standing up to tyrants and safeguarding the piece. >> a protecting freedom and openness thanks to the usr forces were doing only american can do now that mention of freedom, the importance of alliances, really kind of a key theme. >> two of the president's campaign, he did not mention former president donald trump by name, and he didn't make a direct election year appeal during this commencement address. but it is those types of values of the president has previously said are at risk if his republican can rival does take a second term. so all of these themes times gathering this commencement address, but the important part of all of this, the president really underscored is congratulating the cadets and also calling

them the next generation of leaders in both civilian and military life. >> priscilla alvarez, always good to see you. thanks so much for that and joining us now, cnn senior political analyst often senior editor at the atlantic, ron brown, steen ron, great to have you as always, the biden campaign is casting the former president as quote antifreeze. and this is the head of his speech tonight at the libertarian national convention, which steve contorno just described to us. there's already been some kerfuffle leading up to his speech how do you think this is going to play out tonight we'll look for libertarian for true pure libertarian voters. >> neither party is a great fit. obviously, democrats i believe in too much government activism and regulation on the environment, for example, for their tastes and republicans are too big on policing personal behavior and social values on issues like abortion or lgbtq rights. in 2016 libertarian vote did matter. and then gary johnson got four-and-a-half million votes.

looks and it probably hurt hillary clinton in providing kind of an escape valve for young voters in particular, who didn't like her and didn't like trump in 2020, the libertarian vote was only about a third of that, maybe a little more than a third of that and they got in 2016 and i think most studies agree that that decline probably went for the biden then to trump. i think it's going to be difficult as i said, for a pure libertarian voter and neither one of these candidates is really a good fit. but this time, i suspect there may be some room for trump in those ranks given how active as biden has been on a variety of front and expanding government's role it is interesting if you kind of take the last week and what we saw only saw trump in the bronx making his pitch to voters of color. we saw the biden campaign reaching out to nikki haley's voters after she said that she's going to support donald trump, were seeing the campaign's go on offense, try to reach beyond their bases of support. >> how do you think they're both? >> doing when it comes to that?

>> that's a really good observation. i mean, really what we're looking at in polling this year is a pretty striking both racial and generational inversion, where biden is holding his support relative to 2020 better among white voters than he is among non-white voters. most of trump's improvement in the polls from 2022 now is among non-white voters. the voters he was courting in the bronx, whereas biden, i think in many ways, if he if he can't entirely get back to where he was in 2020, among those non-white voters. he's going to need to improve somewhere to offset that. and the most logical place for him to go so our would those college-educate d suburban nikki haley tied voters even if they weren't literally nikki haley voters in the primary. so the focus of each campaign in this week gives you an unusual split-screen of what may be the two most movable pieces of the electorate, white collar college, educated socially liberal voters toward the

democrats and blue collar non-white voters discontented about the economy. toward the republicans will see how either of them can hold up all the way to november, but that clearly are the pieces at those clearly suited be the pieces that are most in play at this point in the election year. >> and you know what? i thought was really interesting. i'm curious what your take is on this. we had some reporting from that nikki haley, the call within haley's support from the biden campaign. >> and this is anecdotal because it was one person saying their opinion, but that that voter was saying we told them we know democracies on the ballot. >> you keep telling us that we know we want to talk about other policies. we want to talk about other issues. and it seems like the biden campaign that is that is a huge issue for them. it does pull very highly when people are asked about it. but, but what do you make of that? >> well look. you know, it we're talking literally about nikki haley, voters on economic issues to closer to trump than they are to biden. and if biden is going to win, those

generally previously republican voting center, right independent college educated suburbanites, the kind of people who helped him win georgia, for example in 2020 or made him the first democrats is harry truman in 1948 to win maricopa county, which is centered on phoenix. if he is going to win them, it is going to be primarily on rights and values and democracy. i mean, i think those voters tend to see trump as better on the economy. i don't think biden can reverse that. they may be sympathetic victor, some of his environmental goals, but they're at like the libertarians, not big regulation people ultimately, his pathway to those kinds of voters is primarily on these non-economic issues. and it's probably more with women than men in those groups. i know that the biden campaign feels very confident that they can run even been better than they did in 2020 among college educated women after all, dobbs didn't happen until after the 2020 election, but they are worried that economic concerns might depress their numbers

among college educated men. >> that is a kind of an interesting schism there. and i'm also looking ahead to the debate that's coming up in roughly a month or so and we had some new reporting from our colleagues here about how the two candidates are preparing, or in some cases not really preparing. we know that biden is planning for these extensive sessions. they sequester to camp david kinda the more formal preparation that we're used to trump advisers say formal, show up right here, isn't going to show up. is he going to practice it all? i mean it is interesting and a commentary on both of these men and their approach to all this right? >> you can watch the biden speeches and the trump speaking, the trump rallies, or just kind of this, you know, long freeform kind of loosely attached grievances you know, i think i think in the biden campaign, you see i think a clear imperative emerging for them consistently polling now,

the retrospective view on trump's presidency his approval rating in retrospect is higher than it ever was at any point in his, in his presidency. and as i said to you before, i think that's because voters are judging his performance now more by comparison, the issues on which they are most discontented with biden so the thought, the thought that things life was more affordable under trump now overshadows other elements of trump's presidency that voters didn't like at the time. and you can see that by the biden campaign is very clearly working to try to remind voters of everything else they didn't like about trump as president as obviously january 6 appointing the supreme court justices on abortion the very fine people in charlottesville separating kids from their parents at the border. the robert de niro ad that ran the biden campaign unveiled this week, very much aimed at that. and i would suspect that if there's an overall structure digit goal for biden heading

for the weeks heading into the debate, it is to try to remind people of why trump lost in the first place in 2020. because right now they are judging trump's primarily it appears by the issues on which they are most discontented with biden, and that's inflation. and to some extent, integration prime very, very interesting. >> ron brown, steen, great to see you. thanks so much thanks for having me fill ahead. >> it has now been two years since the uvalde texas school shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers how the families of the victims are still trying to hold people accountable for that massacre. >> you're on the cnn newsroom russia for trying to spy on us. >> we were spying on them i'm miss it, frank this is a war, but secret war, secrets and spies, a nuclear game, premier sunday, june 2 at ten on cnn

is not before div, of democratic ideals and norms anymore. that's why they still support the january 6 violent insurrection they have been influenced greatly by the kremlin. and there are people like marjorie taylor greene, who a lot of what she says, people like to mancur or we're even call her stupid. but a lot of which she says are lines up with kremlin talking points, especially on foreign policy, things. >> now this week we saw the former president donald trump post on his truth social, that russia will release jailed wall street journal reporter evan gershkovich as soon as he's reelected, saying putin and we'll do that for me, but not for anyone else. and when he was asked how that was possible in an interview with fox news, he said it's because quote putin respects me do you think that's true? do you think any of this is true trump is no

friend to journalists. >> he's been calling journalists enemies of the people for a long time. and he also treats people like ponds, just like a fruit and et cetera. this is about trump's but line, you're going to hear this more as the election approaches that the world is safe for with trump in office. and it's not because he's a friend of democracy. it's because he is a friend and ally of autocrats so here he's boasting about his relationship with putin. now, i see this with a grain of salt because we know that important kremlin television propaganda shows routinely mock trump as weak sycophant and they don't respect him. he's mocked in the open so it remains, remains to be seen, if anything would actually happen to this journalist or any other person american who is unfortunate enough to be captured i'm also curious about your thoughts as we head into the back half of this election year and people

start to click in, especially after this summer's over to the president hill election and other elections that will be happening for different offices just the shades of all of this that you write about in your book and how that might start to come out in in camp and campaigning and social media. >> in other russia or chinese influence or meddling in the election, things like that. >> yeah we are in a fight for our democracy that we level. we've never had to be in before and we have multiple enemies. and unfortunately the more we don't stand up for democracy, including helping democracy excuse under siege such as ukraine the more the whole world becomes. very dangerous because autocrats watch what other autocrats du. and so has xi jinping is now doing military exercises. and

taiwan and he sees what's happening in ukraine. he also knows that half the political life of the country is not into democracy anymore, as we discussed before, and is actually there's a wing of the republican party that's pro-putin as is this is valuable information. so we're in a crisis point and inflection point and this is the most important election that of our lives and also this week, trump shared this post talking about creating a quote, unified reich. >> the trump campaign eventually took it down after about 18 hours after it was up. then they blamed it on a staffer. biden immediately seized on that and accused trump of using hitler's language. but again, as someone like you who studies this sort of language studies how it's used and has been used through history what do you think about seeing that pop up i think that

the phrase unified reich, it's of uncertain origin, but trump's supporters on the far right, but people he wants to keep interested in him they look at the word reich and they know what he's talking about and that video which i've analyzed in an op-ed for cnn, really kind of gives the message that trump will become a world historical figure. >> it's set, it's made as though it's the 1930s documentary, like newspapers. you, he will become famous history because he was able to enact mass repression. it talks about as though 15 million people had been deported from the united states. it shows somebody wearing a hoodie being arrested but it's kind of a dystopian vision of a police state. and that's what the trump campaign thinks will make. trump but as famous as the dictators, he admires. >> all right, ruth bend. yeah.

you can hear it pelting cars and windows and roofs and sightings. i've seen some pictures of hail and some of the reports have come in up to baseballs hi, there warning for up to grapefruit size actually in some, there's some pictures of it where you can see just how large it is up to the size of baseballs, i would say just incredible the amount of hail out of these storms as while jessica and walk us through exactly who is at risk i see on the map behind you, it's stretches, so so wide yeah. >> there are a lot of people stretching from nebraska all the way down into central texas. these are all of the severe watches that we have. the yellow is a severe thunderstorm, all the red or the tornado watch just were storms are firing up. this one in particular from wichita down towards oklahoma city. that's are particularly dangerous situation where violent, strong, long-lived tornadoes

are possible here where the warnings have been a spawning up. again, you can see where that storm had tracked right to the sound thir of wichita falls. and then this area and particular right in-between which wichita and oklahoma city. we're very concerned watching for those violent tornadoes that will be possible as we go through the next couple of hours. so again, here's the risk. it's a large area. make sure those emergency alerts are turned on loud, just yes. >> very good advice. good advice to heat at least a rough thank you so much. and thank you for joining me this evening. i'm jessica dean. i'm going to see you again tomorrow night, starting at five eastern vegas. the story of simcity from sam under strip is up next to have a great night riyadh saves new album is breaking records gets to say what country is comey country? bianna, say nashville's renaissance monday, that aid on cnn sometimes it takes a different approach to see the
