play out. >> and whatever the decision was of the jewelry, he would respect and accept the decision. >> but when i saw him come home tonight and embraced his son i saw the power of love president and first lady. they love hunter. and we love him and we will continue to walk alongside him with the ministry of presence now, the president statement was framed through the lens of a father, not a president, but he did have this to say in closing quote, i will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as hunter considers an appeal. >> now, of course, the president has previously affirmed that he would not pardon his son i'm john wilmington is also the headquarter are where the campaign headquarters is, and their sources tell cnn, it is business as usual and the president going to italy for

of this converging at this three-day trip for the president and italy, again, book ending a month of foreign travel, john so always force in wilmington, delaware this morning for slick rick to see you. thank you. >> kate this morning, we are seeing the power of donald trump's endorsement after it was put to the test and big republican primaries last night, going to show you this six all endorsed these six candidates, all endorsed by the former president, all victorious. cnn's mark preston is tracking all of this for us. so mark, what happened last night good night for donald trump is what happened, kate, we saw from the south all the way out to the west up to the northeast that candidates donald trump backed well, they one, let's take a quick look right here and go through some of them, some interesting races we've seen that were resolved last night down in south carolina, nancy mace. >> now, this is somebody your congresswoman who was initially against donald trump after january 6. she has done an about face. she was able to

push back against outside money from kevin mccarthy, the former house speaker to win her primary. if you also look, william timmons as well from south carolina. he was a moderate why i should've said a conservative but yet not conservative enough for the freedom caucus. they went out after him, williams timmons does pull out a win. he was also trump endorsed. if you go out to nevada, we saw that sam brown. now, this is a purple heart. winter got a last-minute endorsement from donald trump he easily went out in nevada. that's gonna be a race that we are going to be watching for control of the united states senate. and then if you go up to north dakota, there was 32 or three up there in north dakota where donald trump did very well. and of course this is very interesting up in maine, a nascar, former nascar driver endorsed by donald trump won the nomination to take on jared golden up in maine. so six for six last night, donald trump as he heads into his convention, kate huge victory also for just for republicans

writ large, especially in the house in ohio because they they held a special election to replace the retired retired congressman bill johnson yeah. you so what's interesting about this is it, we're going to spend a lot of time talking about this race because this is a congressional district that really borders the pennsylvania ohio border, right? they're incredibly conservative, republican should have a lock on it. they didn't do as well last night, don't necessarily they did win the race, but they didn't win by as many points. we should note those special election so there's probably about a fifth of the voters showed up yesterday. i will see certainly it's a different electorate going into november cave, but democrats will certainly be looking at this for some signs of hope we have. >> i mean, how many, how many cycles and how many years have we tried to figure out what special election say about the bigger general elections waiting standby, just you have via this one once again, we

north dakota maybe one of the most fascinating things that happened last night, voters passing a measure. >> i'm going to say it's the first of its kind. >> maybe i can't think of another another place that has happened, age limits on congressional candidates yeah you know, you talk about a states rights issue right here. >> let's take a look at this north dakota voters decided last night that they are going to how age limits now for members of congress, if you are over the age of 80 before the end of your term, i mean, it's just really interesting given the fact that we have two presidential candidate hey, it's right now, we have president biden, former president donald trump who are either at their age or will reach their age as president of the united states. but if you were trying to run for congress in north dakota, there is gonna be an age limit pretty interesting law that was passed. but again, shows you that the states rights, the issues is certainly moving back to the states. >> yeah, it's good to see you, mark. thank you thanks, kate how we got for us hamas

presidential debate thursday, june 27th, nine live on cnn and streaming on max all right, any minute we are expecting to hear from us secretary of state antony blinken, amid confusion over the status of ceasefire and hostage talks in the middle east a diplomatic source tells cnn that hamas has neither accepted nor rejected the most recent proposal. >> israeli official though described the hamas response as a rejection of this comes as a new un report found both hamas and israel have committed war crimes since october 7, cnn's oren liebermann is live in tel aviv with the latest its mooring on what are you hearing well, secretary of state antony blinken wasn't expecting to make any major breakthroughs as he tried to push towards a ceasefire deal and hostage it, released. >> and that's exactly where he stands right now and where this effort stands after are 12 days after president joe biden put forward a us backed proposal for ceasefire, hamas finally

responded, and yet a source familiar with the talks as it was neither and acceptance of the ceasefire proposal or a rejection of hamas offered some amendments according to a source familiar with the discussions here, israel has, however categorize that as hamas is rejection of the deal that biden forward the question, where is this? well, this has gotten caught up so many times in the details and we're back at that spot right now waiting to see if the details can be worked out to push this it's meanwhile, at the same time, the un has released its most in-depth investigation to this point of the beginning of the war from october 7 to the end of the last year. so roughly the first two-and-a-half months. and in it, the un says both israel and palestinian militant groups include putting hamas have committed war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law amongst those the un says both israel and militant groups committed acts of sexual violence, torture, and the intentional targeting of civilians to put forward this report and put it together israel did not cooperate, but the un spoke with victims,

witnesses, media reports, as well as open-source investigations and information that they were able to verify as they looked at the first couple of months of the war, the part about hamas and palestinian militant groups, perhaps no surprise, that focuses on october 7. and in it, they say hamas in those groups intentionally targeted civilians, committed acts of murder and torture outrageous upon personal dignity, as well as taken hostage including children. israel, which is accused of a systemic and widespread targeting of civilians, rejected the report, calling it anti-israel discrimination at the un and saying it viewed october 7, the rope palestinian lens. john we're very. quickly there has been a constant battle on israel's northern front with hezbollah in lebanon with a flare up overnight. what's the latest there one that we've seen escalate over the course of the past couple of weeks and very possibly escalating. >> again, israel carried out a strike that killed hezbollah commander abu talib, as well as several other hezbollah fighters as one of the more senior commanders they have killed since back in january in

response bonds hezbollah has launched more than 160 rockets towards northern israel, number of which have been intercepted. the us has tried to define some sort of diplomatic off-ramp here, but it is when you see what's happening right now, that is very obvious that there has been no success on that front. the risk of course a miscalculation and even further escalation perhaps another front in the war or lieberman in tel aviv this morning or nice to see you. >> thank you so one of the most important days of the year in economic news crucial inflation data do our shortly just before a key decision is to be announced. >> and then a commuter bus hijacked in broad daylight, the rush hour police chase through the streets find a great deal for your ideal hutto open your vargo typing where you want to go, select your check-in and check-out dates. >> you search, compare prices for the same hotel and save up to $30.09 hotel. trivago.

to back just hours apart. this would be like having game seven of the stanley cup finals and the nba finals on the same day, except here exactly, exactly. like that. except these issues, these events actually really impact everyone because it gets at the cost of living the major frustration with this economy. and so the big question for the inflation report is whether or not we're going to see any sort of progress at all and whether or not we do is going to have a big say in what the fed does next. now the fed, there's almost no chance that the fed lowers interest rates today. the big question is, what does it say about rates going forward previously they were penciling three interest rate cuts this year. that seems very unlikely, just looking at the calendar. so are they going to go to one cut, which would mean maybe no interest rate cuts before the election, or two, that would be good news for the white house and borrowers were dealing with really high cost of living and interest rates right now. and also, what does jerome powell say at the 230 presser today? how tough does he sound about inflation? how concerned is he, is he preaching patients? here's a look at the estimates for two days of inflation

report 3.4%. that's the annual rate that would signal no progress at all. well ahead of the precocial ovid rate, but the silver lining could be the month over month figure 0.1% that would be a good number. it would be driven by lower gas prices. and this would actually be the lowest month over month inflation figure. we've seen since last fall. and i think when you look at the trend for inflation, it's clear that we're in a better place than two years ago. this inflation shouldn't figure was about 9% two years ago, miles away from that, but it's also clear, kate that the progress has stalled and it needs to resume before interest rates go lower. >> yeah, way better than two years ago. but how people are feeling about it and how their personal economy feels. that these are not always in line as we know, you're also taking a closer look at the pay gap between the c-suite and all the workers below and help people are feeling about it today? >> yeah, people are feeling very, very frustrated about how much more money ceos make than the average worker. now, there's this new poll out from

bentley university in gallup, shared exclusively with cnn. and it finds that 83% of americans say it's important for businesses to avoid a major pay gap between ceos and employees that includes 56% who say this is extremely important. and what's striking here is this really cuts across gender generation even when you look at it by party 96% of democrats say this is important, but also 83% of independence two-thirds of republicans. so this is a clear bipartisan issue across the political spectrum. and yet, when you ask americans, how're companies doing on this issue, they say the companies are failing. look at this just 13% say companies are doing good job of a voting and pay gap excellent or good. 21% say fair and a clear majority, 66% say companies are doing a poor job here. and i think the number is kinda back that out, right? ecuador had a study that showed that it would take a 196 years for the average employee to

make what the typical ceo makes, 196 years. we saw that last year, the average worker got about a $4,300 pay bump. the average ceo, 1.5 million more, an even some former ceos are alarmed. i talked to a medtronic former ceo bill george. he told me that he he's trebled because ceo pay has gotten completely out of hand tomorrow, kate, tesla shareholders are going to vote on whether or not to approve elon musk 40 $40,000,000,000 pay package? yes. 40 billion not million? >> yes. >> let's see what happens there. but first and foremost, let's see what happens at 8:30. was cpi gives a really parton read and then we've got the big decision coming out each day for the economy. it's great to see matt. thank you so much so i'll have ross any moment. >> we're waiting for president biden to be departing for the g7 meetings in europe. this is just a day after his son was handing a guilty verdict, handed a guilty verdict and while hunter biden awaits sentencing a look at how the supreme court may play a role in helping him with an appeal

>> president biden about to be heading up very soon, had to italy for very important high-stakes g7 meetings this is of course, after this happened yesterday, a day after his son, hunter biden was found guilty in his felony gun trial. now, hunter biden could face up to 25 years in prison and a $750,000 fine but what happens now with this joining us as cnn legal analyst and criminal defense attorney, joey jackson hey, joy what happens next? >> so there's a process. good morning to take ammonia to john and here's what the process will entail. we have something called pretrial services at the federal level. what does that is to probationary wing, what they will do is they will do a deep dive into his prior history including everything, finances, health, family et cetera. they ultimately that is pretrial services, probation issue, a report and recommendation that's significant that goes to the judge while that's happening, what ends up happening is that your lawyers are preparing a memorandum with the recommendation as it relates to sentencing. i suspect that that'll be inclusive of all

kind of people who know, you know what you're about, whether be clergy, businesspeople, colleagues, et cetera? euro. thereafter prosecutor submit their sentencing memorandum to the judge and then you of course, have the sentencing date where you go in. there'll be oral argument with respect to what's appropriate and there are these things at the federal level called sentencing guidelines. i know we talk about this with respect to 25 years, ten years on this, that not at all. >> the the federal sentencing guidelines include the offense level with regard to the offense for which you were convicted, in addition to your criminal history, let's remember, he's a first offender? no. no criminal history to speak of. and the nature of this allegation is not violent. and so all of that will be happening in the ensuing weeks and months. >> but he pleaded not guilty, made this go to trial? yes. generally speaking, in sentencing, when you plead out, you plead guilty. that's when you get the lighter sentence. so what might the impact be there? >> so that's true and obviously at they also at the federal level, have acceptance of responsibility points. it's this interesting mix, john,

where you have these calculations is really, you quantify that at the same time a person should be permitted to exercise their due process. let's remember, this is a very sympathetic pick case. jurors themselves questioning whether it should have gone to trial, saying it's a waste of taxpayers money. so i don't think the judge will ultimately hold that against him. obviously, there'll be some explained i'm going to do that was gut wrenching testimony, et cetera. it's not an offense for which she needs to write go to jail. that's obviously up to the judge, but when i'm speaking about is regarding mandatory minimums, so it's very discretionary. the person in the black rozi will decide on some of the gut wrenching testimony. i did find it as the after this wrapped and the verdict came down, jurors seem to think that the defense is decision to call hunter biden's daughter, naomi, to the stand that it didn't help his case wonder number ten, so they felt bad that they put naomi on trial as a witness. i think that was probably a strategy that should have not been done. no daughter should ever have to testify against her dad. >> what do you think when you

hear that? >> you know what it is kate hindsight's always 2020, right? right. and so what ends up happening is, is that you're having to make as a defense lawyer strategic decisions that you think and move the ball forward. i do believe that one of the plays of the defense was not only as it related to the merits of the case, you know what he wasn't addicted at the time. he didn't form the mental state he was in denial, et cetera i also think the play was what we call jury nullification having the jury failed bad about the fact that we're here having the jury believe it's a waste of resources to do it, having the jury believed that this is not adjust result to convict, and i think as part of that play, who would be more sympathetic? of course, then the daughter i just think some of it backfired with respect to what she said vs what text messages demonstrated with respect to how her father was really doing at the time, very quickly, the judge has said she wants to do sentencing when the next four months, but if there is an appeal, when does that how does that impact when hunter biden if he gets prison time, would have to report so what will happen is is that they have certainly will be an appeal that's part of the process. right. and what ends up

happening is is that there's many basises to appeal. one of course, dealing with whether it's constitutional that is to take away his gun rights. another weather of course, a psychiatrist or medical health official could have testified as prediction while that's happening, the matter will proceed. the judge will pronounce sentence. i suspect that there could be what we call a stay pending that appeal. and then i'll also look for jon and kate, the timeframe timeframe is very important why dad is in the white house that has said, i'm not going to pardon my son, has not ruled out a commutation. what's the difference if you're given prison time? do we delay the prison time? then there's that other case and i'm looking for a timeline on that other case california tax case, because the timeline of that and should he be convicted and his father not be in the white house that presents other problems as father could be. we just don't know, but these are all things to watch out for. >> it's great to see a joy. thank you. always. thanks, kate. thanks, john. all as we said, president biden is in delaware with his son, hunter right now, but very shortly, he leaves for the g7 meetings in italy, are looking at live

pictures, by the way, from delaware right now, where the president will be departing shortly. >> these are hugely important meetings that will cover everything from the israel-hamas war to ukraine to climate change. let's get right to nic robertson who is in italy right now where these meetings will take place. nick yeah, president says is expanded a touchdown here later this evening yes. >> a full schedules here. the first ticket on the agenda, if you will, will be africa. it will be climate change and development. they sound a little bit not as if they would be the central issues of such an important meeting. but of course they are fundamental to so much that concerns all the leaders here. and that is migration ration itself comes up on another day, but you'll have the leader of the african union here prime minister from kenya. you'll also have leaders from tunisia and algeria here as well. and why does african matters so much as just across the mediterranean of course, from italy, italy on the forefront of huge migration

waves coming out, coming out of that continent. so what can these developed democracies with powerful economies? do to help the african continent and the people there. and perhaps in essence persuade them not to migrate towards europe. so that's one issue. then you have ukraine coming up and of course the central focus there will be getting agreement on how to fund a 50 billion dollar loan to ukraine, which is going to be paid for by frozen profits from frozen, frozen russian assets that looks likely us and eu will sort of underwrite that. then you get into the issue. as i said of me gracian. and you have a central and important issue for president biden the indo-pacific region, china, in essence, ai, that's also going to be a big topic here. and the pob coming in friday, ai will be something hill want to talk to these world leaders about a

packed agenda? and for president biden. and of course, the specter, if you will of a donald trump, a potential president donald trump attending the next g7. that's what these leaders will have on their minds as well. but of course coming into this, there are five liters out of the eight liters coming here who face election of potential election challenges over the coming john all right. >> nic robertson for us in monopoly italy, do not land on boardwalk, nick, thank you very much for that new details this morning about the ice operation to detain eight men living in the us with suspected ties to isis the men are tajik nationals who sources say were screened when they crossed at the us-mexico border, and nothing in their past was flagged at the time cnn's josh campbell has much more on this. >> josh, what are you learning about this?

>> well kate, you know, this is really interesting. we're learning about how federal authorities actually identify these people. i'm told from law enforcement source, it was the us government's targeting of isis targets abroad that actually allowed them to make these identifications part of this ongoing investigation. of course, that's interesting because we know that earlier this year we saw that some of these us surveillance authorities come under heavy scrutiny and congress these sweeping ability of the us government to surveil certain targets abroad. but i'm told it was those kinds of authorities that allowed them to actually determine. we have people here who have some kind of connection to isis targets overseas. now here's what we know, as you mentioned, these are eight tajikistan nationals who were arrested recently by ice as part of their removal authorities. now when they came across the southern border, they were vetted. a source tells me but there were no red flags that us authorities identified at the time. it was later after they were already in the country that this investigation determined they had those alleged isis

connections. and the decision was made to deport them. i'm told that this was hotly debated within federal law enforcement. do we continue to surveil them? federal investigators to determine if there's a potential plot here or do we just expel them and i'm told that it was the ladder that us senior official ultimately decided to actually to just get them out of the country. now, of that group that was arrested, i'm told that extremist rhetoric, so it's unclear whether the other members of the group were arrested simply by association with those individuals, but still questions there were winning to determine when the expulsions will actually take place. and then finally is worth pointing out this is obviously all coming as the department of homeland security and the fbi the office of the director of national intelligence have warned about increasing threats from terrorism. this is not a point in history. there are current threats. now, we know that the dhs recently came out with an assessment indicating just that it's something that federal authorities are certainly look king at this elevated threat

that continues this year josh campbell, thanks so much. >> john and emotional day in connecticut, survivors of the sandy hook elementary school massacre will graduate high school almost 12 years after 20 of their classmates and six adults were killed, seen as brynn gingras is in new town this morning i have to imagine this is gonna be a difficult day. >> brynn yeah, john, listen bittersweet is the word that has been said many times in this community for what is going to happen today, this graduation and obviously there are more than 300 students who are celebrating the fact that they've finally reach this milestone in their lives, graduating high school. >> but of course they will never and have never forgotten those 20 classmates that should be right there with them in those six educators should be celebrating with them as well. actually, during the ceremony, they're all going to wear green ribbons on their caps and gowns to have that memory close to them. the names of those 20

students are gonna be read throughout this ceremony. he said there are little bits of this celebration where they are really going to just remember how far they've come and what they lost along the way. i want you to hear from three students who talked about what this day means to them after what they've been through while they were in sandy hook on that day? >> we are so kids, so we do as much as we can to enjoy ourselves. and still live our lives will still carry the memory of those who lost it's hard because you have these big moments in your life things that are supposed to be solely exciting but they get clouded by those a way that we want to be remembering our friends and we are going to keep them with us, but it's also something that we wish we never had to deal with compared to some work classmates who can go say, are there are no, it's really like

md with blocked out that first i don't you know, we don't want to make this is ultimately what should be the biggest de of most of our lives yeah, that day still so vivid in their memory is actually it's tradition john, in new town for these high school seniors to go back to their elementary preschool. >> there are several in this town and to go back to this building and see the people, the teachers that shaped their lives. of course, these students that you just heard from they had to go to a new high school since that other one where this tragedy happened was torn down, a new one rebuild. so the memory just continues to be with them, but they are survivors. look the objectory of their lives have changed. you just heard from people who say they now want to be activists. they want to be therapists. they want to be lawyers. they want to be politicians. they want to change gun laws. so it's quite

incredible how far these little first-graders have come to now this high school graduation, and certainly the memory of those lost is very vivid today. >> we'll congratulations to all of them there. oh, the places they will go. and of course, we are thinking about that community this morning, a brynn geographic great to have you there. thank you very much. russian more ships sailing less than 100 miles from us soil what they're doing, and how the us military is now responding. and this morning, house republicans, well, here's the question do house republicans have the votes to hold attorney general merrick garland inke contempt all of a sudden that seems to be up in the air. we've got the latest webcam the most anticipated moment of this electric and the stakes couldn't be higher. >> the president and the former president, one stage two, very different visions for america's future. the cnn and presidential debate thursday,

orders were your door only theaters june 21st. >> this is a secret war, secrets and spies sunday at ten on cnn alright, this morning, the port of baltimore's shipping channel is fully operational. it was 11 weeks ago that the francis scott key bridge collapsed, killing six people, nearly 50,000 tons of wreckage had to be removed from the river. so the critical us trade poor could resume operations. this is what some port workers had to say about this. >> we're back to work and i hope it gets better. hope more ships come at the state took care of us we were okay. >> but hello i'd rather go to work, kind of wished the bridge was being built a lot sooner. you know, i mean, coming through the tunnels a little tough. i mean, that is that has changed too because we have to leave like an hour early are with us now, is transportation secretary pete buttigieg, who is in baltimore. >> mr. secretary, thanks so much for being with us. what

difference will this now make? and what did you learned over the last 11 weeks? >> you know, what happened that morning was horrific, but what happened next was inspiring. so in terms of what we've learned, i think the biggest thing has been about the power of teamwork. >> i asked our team to count up the number of agencies involved. >> we think it was 56, 56 different entities he's from our department of us coast guard and the army corps of engineers the state dot under the leadership of governor wes moore, county, city, all of the first responders from the divers looking for victims to the people making sure that traffic was handled and managed safely all adding up to this moment where less than 100 days after that shocking event, more than 50,000 tons of concrete and steel have been cleared out of the potassium river. the channel is open, the port is up and running. those workers are working now, obviously, we've got a long way to go in terms

part two, which is getting a new bridge up to replace the francis scott key bridge that was destroyed and more and more of the focus is going to now turn to that, although we've been working on that from day one as well, already got $60 million after the state. but again, my big lesson, my big takeaway here is the power of teamwork. i have never seen this many different organizations, agencies responders, come together since i've had this job to deal with a crisis, touching, are transportation system so it's what people expect from government that when something terrible happens, those agencies snap into action, team up and get results. >> you talked about the bridge you have any estimate on when there may be a new bridge so the original one took about five years to build. >> we're hoping we can beat that. this time around, but obviously a lot goes into building a bridge and it's going to look different. the design that went in the 70s is not the same as the right answer for a bridge that's

going to be standing. hopefully well into the 2070s but we're already underway on that we released $60 million to help get that process going. were side-by-side with maryland maryland.in their work, they're already engaging in the procurement, the design they estimated it'll take about 1.7 to $1.9 billion to get that new bridge in place. but when it is there, it will be not just a new part of the baltimore's skyline, but an important link for supply chains and, and for commuters so you were not a member of the president's family, although he has said you remind him of his son beau i'm wondering what you think it must be like for the president now that his other son, hunter biden, has been convicted on federal gun charges as both a president on his way to europe for key meetings and also as a father i think anybody should imagine what would i do? and one of many things i admire about my boss is that it is so clear how much love he has for his

family. and that's not just something that obviously as a human being, you see and feel in terms of how much he cares about his loved ones. but also as a boss, it is a tone that he has set across the administration that he expects. everybody who reports to him to take good care of their families. he made clear on day one, there's a standing policy that if any of us needs to take care of a family matter, we go look after that. no questions asked and and balance that with the responsibilities that we all have. >> just so you know, secretary, we're looking at live pictures from delaware right now where president biden is arriving. he'll he'll get a marine one. had to andrews and then head to europe for meetings again, we're looking at live pictures of that right now. it does not appear as if the president will comment before arriving at andrews and we don't know feel comment there. i want to ask you very quickly about another subject to there was a secret

recording made at a meeting where many supreme court justices and their spouses, were in martha-ann alito, the wife has supreme court justice samuel alito was discussing how she feels about apparently a pride flag that was flown not far from our house. listen i want sacred heart of jesus because i had to look across the lagoon at the pride flag for the next month. badly. >> and he's like, oh, please don't put up a flag. i said i won't do it because i'm deferring to you. but when you are free of this nonsense, i'm putting it up and i'm going to send them i think every day how does that make you feel knowing that the wife of a supreme court justice wants to send a message to people with a pride flag look i'm often reminded that the most important thing in my life which is my marriage and my family and the two beautiful children that my husband chest and i are raising, that marriage only

exists by the grace of a single vote on the united states supreme court that expanded our rights and freedoms back in 2015 and made it possible for somebody like me to get married and supreme court justices have an unbelievable amount of power and they'll, by the nature and the structure of the supreme court, there's no supervision over that power. >> they are entrusted with it literally for as long as they live and part of that trust is we expect them to enter into those enormously consequential decisions that the shape our everyday lives. with a sense of fairness. i also hope that most americans can understand the difference between a flag that symbolizes love and acceptance and signals to people who have sometimes feared for their safety that they're gonna to be ok. and insurrectionists,

symbology i'll just leave it at that secure transportation people to hear. >> thank you so much for being with us this morning. appreciate it this morning uncertainty on capitol hill, the house is scheduled to hold a rules vote surrounding whether to hold attorney general merrick garland in contempt over failure to comply with subpoenas. >> but there are whispers that it's possible there are enough moderate republicans that enough monitor republicans are skittish that this might not have the votes to pass, the contempt vote might not have the votes to pass seen as lauren fox has been whipping the votes on capitol hill, or at least counting him, where did thanks dan, this morning? lauren john, you're putting a lot of pressure on me as a vote counter, but behind closed doors, leadership is still trying to ensure that they have the support they need to go to the floor to try and advance his contempt devote. >> this is going to happen as soon as later today. what we expect to see on the house floor around 1030 they will vote on the actual rule governing the debate over this

vote on contempt against merrick garland. but as you noted, there are some concerns that there could be some moderate holdouts and because the speaker only has a two-vote margin, that does mean that he has to get all of his ducks in a row before this actually comes to the floor. a critical meeting they will happen this morning at 9:00 a.m. when house republicans will gather for their weekly conference meeting, that is obviously going to be an opportunity for republican leadership and key voices on those committees to make the case for their colleagues. why this is so important to advance right now. but this all stems from the fact that republicans want to get those audio tapes of robert hur's special counsel, robert hur's interview with joe biden. we do have the transcript, but republicans arguing that they need that audio tape because they think that it could help them in their investigation in the biden family, they also say that they want to make sure that the transcript was accurate. they have not voiced exactly why they think it would not be consistent. john, lauren pfos in washington for us,

counting the votes, let us know where things stand when you find that lauren. >> thank you very much us officials. >> are tracking a group of russian warships in the caribbean, right now, they include a nuclear powered submarine and also warships carrying hypersonic missiles. final destination, cuba, russia's military is planning to run drills with its high-precision weapons in the atlantic ocean war games that the pentagon says poses no direct threat to the us. but war games nonetheless, that vladimir putin is trying to use, as his latest muscle flex against the west seen as patrick oppmann joys us from havana, cuba with much more than this patrick, what are you hearing about this? >> good morning. well, cnn is also tracking these russian warships and they're actually right behind us. we're going to try to focus in. we could see them. it's a bit of a cloudy day. and behind that statue there you can just make out the lead russian, forget the admiral gorski have which as you were saying, carries

hypersonic missiles it is when those modern russian navy ships that vladimir putin has in his navy and is at this moment bring havana harbor, one of four of these ships, including nuclear-powered submarine that is expected to arrive today in cuba, arrived in the next few hours into havana harbor. you see it just coming up behind that statue there as it makes its way into the port of havana. and there are russian ships, russian naval ships that come to cuba over the years. i don't remember what a convoy as large as this, a convoy that has the latest weaponry that vladimir putin to has at his disposal. so while it may not be a direct threat to the united states, it is very symbolic because vladimir putin has been talking recently about how if the us will deploy weaponry his borders. he could do the same to dus certainly.

meaning countries like cuba or
