i've had hanako montgomery in tokyo and this is cnn you're on the cnn newsroom. >> hi, everyone. i'm jessica dean in washington, former president, and now convicted felon donald trump, saying he'd be okay with serving prison time is coming just days after he was found guilty on all the charges in his criminal hush money trial but as he awaits his sentencing is set for july 11. the republican candidate for president warns a harsh punishment could lead to a breaking point among his supporters. >> this is what he said on fox news this morning judge, could decide to say, hey, house arrest or even jail it could face what i'm okay with it.
3:02 pm
>> i saw one of my lawyers. he had the day on television saying, oh, no, you don't want to do that to the i don't get a bag for anything you'd just the way it is. i don't know that the public would stand it. you know, i don't i'm not sure that the public would stand for it with a house arrest for i think i think it'd be tough for the public to take at a certain point. this is a breaking point. >> now, when asked if he would seek revenge, if he was reelected, here's what he said to that question. >> it's a very interesting question. by revenge will be success. and i mean that but it's awfully hard when you see what they've done. these people are so evil the latest quinnipiac poll taken before the verdict shows biden and trump essentially in a dead heat. no clear leader there the two men will face off for the first time in a cnn debate on june 27, for the first time this cycle, it's also the first time they've debated at all since debating each other. and the last one, it's just four
3:03 pm
weeks away now it will be less than two weeks before trump's sentencing and days before the republican national convention. so quite a calendar coming up in june and july, joining me now to discuss this in and political commentator and democratic strategist, maria cardona and cnn senior political commentator and former special assistant to president george w bush, scott jennings, great to have both you hear desiccant happy sunday to you guys scott, let's start first with you. we played some clips from president trump's interview this morning a lot is being made about his comments about a breaking point for his supporters using that language, what are you what is your takeaway? >> republicans are pretty mad. i mean, they think this trial was unfair and i think it shouldn't i've never been brought. i mean, the idea of that was very skeptical a few days ago, like, you never got thrown donald trump in jail. the more i think about it though, they look if you actually remember the core of the case is democrats believe that this may have overturned the outcome of the 2016 election. that's why they brought the charges to campaign
3:04 pm
finance case. if you believe that donald trump might have stolen an election how can you not put him in jail? so the more i think about it, the more i think they might. and so if they do i mean, it's hard to predict how angry people will be, but they're gonna be pretty white hot out there but i think it's there when you say that there's there's angry and there's angry and expressing it here, talking about it, i will say this. >> i should add that unlike other cases we've seen in this country after the trump verdict was announced there were no riots. there were no buildings burning, there were no couches burning, there were no cars overturned, no cop cars were torch, so i think that's good thing. now, what did happen was donald trump apparently is raised tens or maybe hundreds of millions of dollars. so you can see that the republicans are putting their energy into getting him re-elected but maria, there has been concern from some people that that rhetoric is not just white hot, angry in the sense that they're going to do, you give political donations and go to the ballot box. >> but that there could be violence attached to that what do you think about those? i mean, i think that is a very legitimate concern because
3:05 pm
it's happened before these types of comments from donald trump are not meant to be comments that are just things that he says for nothing. >> the last time he has said those kinds of comments, we saw violent, deadly insurrection at the white house. >> he has said things like stand back and standby to the proud boys. we he has said things like when in the run-up to the january 6, he told his supporters come to the white house or come to the capital. it's going to be wild. >> this is nothing new for him. >> and he knows that when he says things like that he can get away with it because he's not calling for violence, but he knows his support porter's are going to take it like, let's bring up arms we already saw images on the internet of his supporters saying grab your muskets, we got to go down and defend our president. let's go. yeah. good exactly those
3:06 pm
are the mind of people. >> i'm not making it up. i'll show you the picture and so it is dangerous. >> it's dangerous rhetoric. and let's remember, this was not a verdict that democrats came up with. this was a verdict that was handed down by a jury of 12 peers of donald trump, not democrats, not republicans. a jury of his peers. this is how our justice system works this was not a trial well or a suit that was brought by president biden, which is also something that donald trump likes to push. it's not even a federal case. so this has nothing to do with the democratic party that is a lie that donald trump continues to your pet. >> you were saying that democrats are not involved in any way in this case. >> i'm saying there's not one debit chronic pain. >> what donald trump says that this was orchestrated by president biden is an outright lie. >> you said that's what i'm saying. but the prosecutor is a democrat. yes. >> it doesn't matter. does it and the judge did donate five?
3:07 pm
>> yes. >> okay so then if this is just saying there are democrats in volts, is your argument, scott, then you should think that alito and clarence thomas need to recuse themselves from the cases that they're going to be hearing about donald trump. they didn't donate anybody. no. no. okay. not that i know. >> anytime i miss did she not participate in the whole issue of trying to overturn the election? >> yes again, it's under what's and i know some comfortable for republicans on the supreme court. >> i'm not i'm not uncomfortable with you saying that democrats who are part of this trial, because what i do know is that it's a truck i'll and the verdict that was handed down by a jury of donald trump's peers. >> and for for republicans elected officials to continue to attack the jury that the judge, and our system is as dangerous as donald trump's words, calling for violence. >> okay, scott, i want to ask you just a long line. so what we were just getting into because larry hogan, who was the governor of maryland and is running for senate seat in maryland, which republicans
3:08 pm
would be lucky if he, if he wins in blue, maryland he said yeah, i said that he everyone should accept the verdict for full respect to the jury's decision, right? and then lara trump went on and this is what she said. we have a clip of that right. >> think it's ridiculous and i think anybody who's not speaking up in the face of really something that should never again have seen the light of de, a trial that would never have been brought against any other person aside from donald trump, doesn't deserve that respect of anyone well i'll have to get back to you he doesn't deserve a destructive anyone in the republican party at this point there's a couple of ways we could take this, but i am interested in first is it not fair to say respect the jury's decision that you can argue and a lot of people have even some democrats should this case have been brought what or not. >> but what the jury did they not do their what they were charged to do, no problem with
3:09 pm
the jury. >> i mean, these people were picked they did what the prosecutors asked the video. >> they were put in this situation, they did their job, got no problem with the jury republicans have a problem with the prosecutor and the judge. and the jury they rendered there. he said respect. the jury's work here, and he's getting attacked by the head of the rnc. >> it's just not good by the way, because it was a miracle when this race came on the board, right that's democrats are worried and and if larry hogan makes it to the senate it guarantees that republicans will be in the majority and so that is unequivocally a good thing. i do wonder politically if it's not actually somewhat helpful for larry hogan to be feuding with the case maryland because because because democrats are attacking him saying, oh, he's just going to we a rubber stamp for the trump republican party. what does look like that to me. >> so, so now again repeat unity and that you unity in the party. >> and so i don't, i don't love this because getting hogan
3:10 pm
raised on the board, getting that marylanders and the board was a real huge get for the republicans. and i think he's one of the maybe top two or three pick-up opportunities for the party, which was a surprise missile, maria, but through your lens, how do you see it i think it's a mistake for the rnc to be attacking larry hogan because if the rnc is doing their job, they're supposed to be supporting every single republican who is running and trying to take back the senate and keep the house and for them to go after larry hogan because you're right, democrats are concerned. we should be concerned and for them to be going after him. i think shows just how much this is no longer the republican party is the donald trump manga party. and that's great for his supporters. it will absolutely rile up donald trump's maga supporters. but in order to when the white house, in order to take back the senate and in order to keep the house, they need to expand their universe of voters into independence, into women. and by doing that that is not going to happen,
3:11 pm
okay? >> i want to ask you how much the president president biden should be leaning into this in his reelection effort, but we're going to take a break first. so think on that and we're gonna fight back. >> where you will just hold that answer. we're going to discuss it right after the break. we'll be right back russia for trying to spy on us. >> we were spying on them i miss sally franklin this is a war but secret war. >> secrets and spies, a nuclear game. >> vermeer's tonight at ten on cnn sentenced you make a sale is now odd with race from 119 knife for a person per night visit, send those.com or call 1800 sandals, lactate is 100% real melt just without the lactose delicious to just ask my old friend kevin. >> now than like enjoying the coal one while watching the game who's winning no idea.

3:16 pm
guilty on all 34 felony counts now only be given the opportunity as he should to appeal that decision, just like everyone else has that opportunity. >> that's how the american system of justice works and it's reckless. is dangerous, it's ever responsible for anyone to say this was rigged. just because they don't like the verdict sian white house correspondent for scylla alvarez is joining us now, priscilla how is the biden campaign viewing this moment while they're trying to strike a pretty delicate balance. and the way that they respond to this, they were very fiery and their statement shortly after the verdict was reached. but they're also trying to be quite somber. two and making the point to voters that this is going to be decided at the ballot box, not in the courtroom and trying to push toward that message. now, of course, that it also tried to fund raise on it, noting that this verdict would fire up former president donald trump's supporters and trying
3:17 pm
to rake in those grassroots donations where they have succeeded quite a bit. and so the campaign it looking forward, it doesn't really see this verdict changing the calculus of the election entirely. it may have been different if it was an acquittal but of course this is a race that's going to be decided on the margins. and so the question is how the campaign wants to use this moving forward and how they describe and characterize the former president moving forward, those are still answers that we don't have yet. but certainly in this moment they were both trying to be skating and their statements, but also pointing straight to the ballot box in november? >> right. all right. so our political panel is back here with us. >> they didn't go anywhere. >> if you didn't go commentator and democratic strategist, maria cardona and cnn senior political commentator and former assistant to the president george w bush, scott jennings facility. >> you're going to stay with us i want to go off of the reporting. priscilla just had maria make the case that this verdict actually, in the end has really any real effect on this race. >> so i will say this, i don't
3:18 pm
think any of us really know what kind of effect this is going to have long term we have seen past polls and the most recent poll that does say that a lot of independence and a smidgen of republicans would think twice about putting a convicted felon as president of the united states. i think the biden campaign is being very smart in both making sure to hit that balance. and i think they were pitch perfect right after the verdict but also moving forward, not counting either on this trial or on any of the others where we're trump was font was indicted and found guilty of a gazillion. other charges because they need to focus on two things, making sure that americans understand what they have done. the massive accomplishments that they have put them in place for american voters on the economy and on other issues, healthcare student loans, et cetera. but also making the case that they know that things are not easy for everyone, that not everyone is feeling the growth in the
3:19 pm
economy and that there's still a lot more to do, but smartly, they are going to use this verdict to lean into the message that they have already had from the moment that president biden announced his reelection, and that is that donald trump is an existential threat to our democracy. this verdict, i thank plates beautifully into that overall message. >> and scott, if you're the biden campaign, would you lean more to this? well, i think i think they have to be careful for a few reasons. one as you pointed out trump has been making the argument that this is all being orchestrated by biden. so the more he leans into it the more somebody might say, oh, there's look like he was involved and so they have to be careful on that number. 200 bytes is going on trial this week and he's got other trials. hizon face. so it's not like the biden family is super clean on criminal trials right now. and number three, i think they also have something of a hypocrisy problem, right now, on one day, joe biden says, well, it's it's irresponsible. the question
3:20 pm
that judicial system. and to say it's rigueur, it's terrible and we have to respect the judges and everything. and on the next day he says, the supreme court tried to stop me, but i did it anyway, when he's talking about student loans, so i'm i'm confused about which parts of the judicial system we have to respect as he wants to respect the ones that new york, but not the ones that the supreme court i think. they have to be careful about that as well. okay. that's a different issue, but we can get into there. are they not all courts do not want to risk. >> we have, you mentioned hunter biden is going on trial, a federal trial next week. bob menendez a democratic senator, also on trial. >> so it's not like just republicans or are being prosecuted. well, not only that jessica so but if if all of this was being orchestrated by president biden then they're really bad at it. >> if his own son is going to try. >> all right. so that is just completely ridiculous and unbelievable talking point that only works with donald trump's maga base, and this is where i think republicans really need to be careful because the more
3:21 pm
that elected officials republican elected officials attack our judicial system and attack judges and attack the jury. i think even are their own races. that wasn't are up for reelection if they need to bring an independence and women and moderates and even common sense republicans who want to say that our judicial system is still a foundational element of our democracy. i think that's a really dangerous point for republicans. >> and you can also see just how significant a moment this was and how sensitive the white house's through the president's remarks. it was a topper before his remarks on the middle east when he addressed this verdict. >> and he was also very technical in the way that he described what happened. >> he talked about the jurors. he talked about it being a state case, not a federal case. he's sort of walked through the process. he did say that it was a irresponsible to say that this was rigged. it was shortly after the former president had come out in his remarks talking about the trial. so i think that that sort of captures
3:22 pm
where the white house is on this and how difficult and challenging it is for them because they have to do both. they have to address it, but they also have to stand by the judicial, what judges is it irresponsible do attack because if it's irresponsible to attack the judge in new york, why is it not irresponsible for virtually every democrat, washington to attack every justice on the supreme court right now, which ones are to be protected and which ones are okay are fair game. >> i don't think that democrat when you talk about democrats attacking judges, i think you mean, for example, when the supreme court got rid of roe v. wade, i think what no, i mean, in the press releases right now when they're accusing them of, quote, flying maga battle flags, i'm just asking you, you all in the democratic party right now are very protective of the judge in new york. >> but you are more than happy to have open season on the justices here in washington politically and i just i'm trying to discern the difference as a citizen, then i could say that when you say that this judge should have recused himself, which was what a lot of republicans are saying. >> then what do you say about,
3:23 pm
about alito and about thomas, about about the made-up flag controversy. >> nothing because it landed on his wife as his wife's fault. >> i mean, look the fact of the matter is is that democrats have never talked about our judicial system being rigged. >> democrats have never said that an outcome we might not have liked it, but that it should be, it should be deleted, it shouldn't be listened to or whatever we've never talked about. the judicial system in the united states being rigged. this is something that donald trump ran on in 2016, ran on in 2020, and is running on now. and it is absolutely a danger. and it's an existential threat to our democracy. >> schumer stood in front of the supreme court and pointed at the building and said kavanaugh and roberts and named it by name and said, if you don't vote the way i want you to vote, you will reap the whirlwind now, what, what sort of, what, what, sort of signal
3:24 pm
do you believe that that's sent? >> i mean i mean, it was pretty obvious what he was calling for and it wasn't a good day. >> i understand what you're trying to do. >> it's not me. it was what chuck schumer's in terms of look at the shiny thing over here but it was dark and republicans are doing this horrible thing over here that's not acknowledged that what we're taught. >> i mean, yes, it did happened, but like i said, that the supreme court, every single decision that supreme court has made, you you have never heard a democrat say, we're not going to abide by that decision. >> joe biden says, he says it all you literally hours, i know five. >> let's continue. >> we're going to have you there and, thank you again, priscilla, for your reporting as well my my thanks to all of you for being here. >> thank you. >> still the calm that ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy met with us defense secretary lloyd austin, thanking america for freeing ukraine to use american weapons against russia plus north korea

absolutely incredible hitting on gev lloyd austin meeting with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy today at an annual defense conference in singapore, the two reportedly discussing the state of us aid to the ukrainian war effort in the face of russia's heightened offensive over the last few months. natasha bertrand has more from singapore jessica president zelenskyy made a surprise visit to the shangri-la dialogue in singapore earlier today to try to rally asian leaders around ukraine's fight against the russians.
3:30 pm
>> but he also met here on the sidelines with secretary of defense lloyd austin, where the discuss ukraine's most urgent battlefield needs at the moment, including their desperate need for additional air defense systems. but importantly, zelenskyy also wanted to take that opportunity to thank secretary austin, as well as president biden for that very important decision that the us made just last week to finally allow ukraine to strike directly inside russian territory in order to help defend itself against russian strikes that are coming from just over the border of ukraine greene inside russia itself, a real game changer that ukraine has been pushing the united states for, for quite some time now, this is a lente repeatedly. thanked united states for that decision, but one of the major reasons who's actually here at this forum this weekend was to speak directly to the chinese who had been accused by the united states and by the uk of directly supporting russia's war effort in you framed by bolstering its defensive sector and zelenskyy told reporters earlier today, the he tried to
3:31 pm
meet with chinese officials while he was here today, but the chinese actually refer use to meet with him. so while zelenskyy did not get everything that he wanted this weekend, he did get the opportunity to speak directly, chew some very key asian leaders and secure their participation and their support for this peace summit that he hopes will eventually be able to come up with a formula to finally end this war between ukraine russia jessica, natasha bertrand, thanks so much and let's discuss those talks and war was seen and military analysts retired lieutenant general mark hertling great to have you on this sunday afternoon. i want to start first with the decision that natasha was talking about in her report? that the the us will now allow ukraine to use american munitions to carry out strikes inside russia, help people understand what makes that decision. so impactful yeah, some american weapons systems, jessica, just have to put a caveat on that because of
3:32 pm
the tactical battle in and around kharkiv, there's a decision now by the president to allow some weapons like the high marsh shooting, short range artillery up to 50 to 70 kilometers away. >> just strike targets on the other side of the border. >> what mr. zelenskyy has very upset about is he wants more latitude and using atacms missiles that have anywhere from 172, 300 mile range. >> he wants to strike deeper into targets in russia. and the president has not allowed that there has been the availability of some weapons to go against those russian forces that are actually logarithm. on the other side of the ukrainian border and belarus and in russia. and that's a very good thing. there's been many of us who have said that should have happened a long time ago. but there's a concern the risk involved is that the kremlin will see anything that strikes deep into russia and it could
3:33 pm
possibly miss the target and maybe hit, i mean, i'm going to give an example, hidden apartment building with russian citizens could be an an extreme provocation that the russian leader could use to say, hey, see, i've been telling you all along this is a us war. they're using proxies to do this. they're giving them their weapons. so that's part of the calculus and all of this. and it's frustrating for the ukrainians, but truthfully, having been in these kind of meetings, i understand the risk calculation and bob mark, i'm going to let them know. i can't hear you. i'm going to take that out, so i'm i'll let the control room no, i can't hear you what i'm hearing myself, but i'm going to keep asking you questions. i do want to ask you about what your take is on the scene and reporting this week that the us issued abrams tanks aren't performing well in the field. in ukraine, there's this discussion about how they were really made for the desert. and obviously ukraine, not the desert. what do you make of that? >> i will say in one word that's hyphenated, that's bs
3:34 pm
getting just use the initials. these tanks had been basically made for a nato environment in europe. i was on these tanks for almost two decades three decades, and europe didn't have some of the problems that i heard. nick paton walsh talk about with that tank crew, they were upset because the tank was broken down. i'll remind folks that i said it was not the best tank to give to ukraine because there are maintenance challenges and you have to have a highly trained crew to address some of the things. >> but some of the indicators they talked about, condescension time to station on the instruments. >> that's bs the fact that that russia knows how to hit these tanks. it didn't have enough armor. that's bs that they couldn't clear. would leinz they would shoot multiple rounds in a building and it wouldn't explode. i know for a fact, having fired these vehicles and having been a tanker all my life hi that this is a crude that's not either selecting the right weapon
3:35 pm
system or isn't maintaining their tanks very well. now at the same time, i'll say this, jessica, that whenever you get to disgruntled tankers on a tank, that's broken down there. they're going to give you every reason why it doesn't work, and how this piece of crap is something that they shouldn't have. but remember, ukraine continued to ask for these vehicles even though they knew that there was a high maintenance standard to keep them running and i also want to ask you about the fact that president zelenskyy tried to meet with chinese officials while he was at this event. >> they didn't take him up on that offer. >> do you think that there is any pathway there for them to have some success appealing to the chinese, even though the chinese and russia have been quite cozy at this point. >> in my view, jessica, i'm not a chinese expert, but i do know a little bit about the chinese no chance in the world. he is not going to persuade president qi who is very stoic and who is in fact supporting the russians to switch over to
3:36 pm

absolutely free text dra w to 369369. today, i'm more liebermann at the pentagon. and this cnn closed captioning brought to you by meso book.com if you or a loved one have mesothelial, will send you a free book to answer questions you may have call now and we'll come to you 808 to one 14000 it is the final hours of voting and mexico's historical election with the presidency up for grabs, as well as more than 20,000 positions across the country. >> and over wins, they will most likely become mexico's first female precedent. but violence has played this election cycle dozens of candidates have been assassinated in the lead up to today's vote. cnn's camila bernal joins us now from los angeles. she is outside the mexican consulate or some mexican citizens are voting camila, it did look like there was a sizable turnout today. what more you learning on the
3:50 pm
ground? >> hey, jessica absolutely. a sizable turn out a lot of people just enthusiastic, ready to vote. you can see here behind me just the crowd and the amount of people that showed up now there is a problem to that, and that's because only about 1,400 people actually registered to vote here in los angeles. and they had an extra 1,500 spots for people that did not registered to vote. but officials here told me that at seven in the morning they already had 2000 people lined up. i want to show you that line eight wraps around the entire block. and at times it was wrapping twice around the block. and so a lot of you are seeing here will not be able to vote because they did not register in total about 223,000 people will be voting from abroad in these mexican elections. about 70% of that is voters here in the united states. so you're seeing that passion and that need and that
3:51 pm
want to vote from a lot these people here, and it's because of a number of reasons i've talked to voters who have told me we have family in mexico. so it matters to us. there's also the aspect of the relationship between the american president and the mexican president. and so there are a lot of issues that then stem from that, like security, like trade and the economics of it and migration, which is a huge issue for both countries right now. and of course, this is a historic election because of the possibility of a women are winning this election. so take a listen to what one voter here told me earlier. >> i think it's very important for us to elect a woman has brazen, no matter who wins. for me, it's very important because the woman's are are leading contenders to be the next president of mexico. but also because the first time that we mexican to live abroad going to cast a ballot here? he used to be by mail or electronically, but now we're going to have that opportunity
3:52 pm
and so of course we're still walking through the line so you can see the amount of people that are here wanting to vote. >> now, another interesting thing here is that the mexican presidential election happens every six years, of course, in the us it happens every four years. so every 12 years, this actually lines up. this is the one year where both countries are electing their next president. so again, it is huge in terms of how the relationship between the two presidents will play out after the november election here in the united it states. but again, just a lot of enthusiasm here in los angeles. they're 20 consonants around the country where people could vote and so we'll have to see exactly how many turned out today, just camila before we let you go, you are standing in los angeles. the people in line behind you are voting in the mexican election, the presidential election how does that all work? >> are these people who are here working in america, but they've retained their mexican citizenship yeah, a lot of them
3:53 pm
have dual citizenship or just have the citizenship either in mexico and maybe are a resident of the united states. so they are eligible to vote because they are mexican citizens. they have to have the voter credential, which is extremely important if you don't have that, you will not be able to vote. that is a mexican voting credential, and then you have to register to vote and the sad thing here about los angeles is that you have the potential of about 4 million mexican nationals in los angeles and despite the 4 million people, only about 3,000 will be able to vote. so hopefully in the future, more people registered to vote so that you can have a bigger turnout and just people that are eligible to vote here in los angeles. and really all over the country. >> all right. camila bernal force in los angeles. thank you so much tornadoes, certainly not a new phenomenon. they've been around for a long time and the 2024 tornado season here in the us. >> well, it's already brought massive damage and destruction to multiple states. >> many communities there are conversation with a scientist,

3:55 pm
seconds and you can see the same thing going on in my simulation pairing up dr. orff's animations with hanks storm chasing footage bytes clarity and realism that gives scientists confidence in their models and hopefully the detail needed to put the last pieces of the puzzle together. that's another thing that i think these simulations can really help is we need to figure out why one storm is dropping these big tornadoes and why another one is not. it's a tag good team effort, one behind the lens and one behind the screen. but they hope to see the benefits in real life. >> the combined effect, looking at lots of storms, it's basically crunching through to get to saving more lives. >> it's just there's no easy way to get. there is just the hard way. but i'm willing to do it knowing when a storm is going to produce the next big tornado. and just as importantly, if it's not could reduce the amount of false alarms that the public has to navigate the cried wolf effect is, is if we can limit that, it would actually be more
