get your podcasts, the news continues on cnn with wolf blitzer in the situation room now, new details just coming in. >> and how president biden, former president trump, are gearing up for their cnn debate now less than two weeks away. but are sources inside both campaigns are telling us yes, about their preparations that were tracking the fall out from a major us supreme court ruling, striking down a ban on bump stocks, a controversial gun accessory the justices still preparing to hand down opinions at other major issues, including donald trump's immunity claims. also tonight pope francis this makes a historic visit to the g7 summit in italy, meeting with president biden and other world leaders about concerns over artificial intelligence welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer a year

in the situation room first up tonight and inside, look at the debate preparations taking place inside the biden and trump campaigns. cnn's kristen holmes is working her sources for us. she's over it. a trump event in florida and cnn's arlette saenz as details on president biden's plan to take on his predecessor once again firstly, you, kristen trump is expected. i take it to speak at any moment now, give us the latest yeah. >> this is actually his 78th birthday celebration with some of his biggest supporters called club of 47. it is a group committed to getting donald trump re-elected. and while you are likely to not hear donald trump take any jobs biden's age, she will probably make some self-deprecating jokes. he is turning 78 meaning that if he does win in november, you would be the oldest person to become president of united states,

something that the former president is very aware of that is why, when you hear him attacking joe biden, he often talks about his mental fitness but avoids the actual comments about biden's age, knowing that he is just a few years younger now, you mentioned that debate prep. that's part of how he spent the de before his birthday when he was in washington, dc, what we saw publicly was those meetings with house and senate republicans. but according to sources, afterwards, he had a quote policies session at the republican national committee building, present or some of his closest aides, as well as senators, eric schmitt of missouri and marco rubio of florida, someone who we know is on the shortlist to be vice president. now according to these sources, they want to be very clear that this wasn't debate prep in the tradition no. says that they were just talking policy, but one of the things that came up in those topics was january 6, how to answer questions about what happened on january 6, about how to answer questions on

democracy and how to answer questions on what donald trump has talked about post january 6, including hardening some of the people who were involved in january it's clearly preparing in some way or at least in his way for those debates. now again, his team has said over and over again, he is not going to have any kind of traditional debate. there's not gonna be someone filling in for president joe biden filling in for jake, or dana. it is instead going to be these series of policies sessions as well as taking questions like we saw last week think when he was in arizona from voters in the crowd or meeting with various groups of people or sitting down for contentious interviews, we we'll obviously see how this plays out when he takes the stage in just two weeks wall or kristen standby, i want to go to cnn's arlette saenz right now. she's in los angeles where president biden is heading for a series of campaign events arlette, what are we learning? first of all, about how the president is actually preparing for this upcoming cnn debate well, well, if president biden has spent much of the past two weeks

abroad and france and italy. >> but back at home, his debate prep sessions have started a hit. the his former chief of staff, ron klain, is leading many of these a preparations clean, of course, lead those debate preps for biden back in 2020, but also for hillary clinton back in 2016 when she faced off against donald trump out a campaign official acknowledges that president biden won't have as much time to prepare for this debate compared to 2020 as he's juggling his duties as commander in chief chief most of the intense sessions are expected to take place in the days leading up to the june 27 debate, the president is expected to spend some time at camp david preparing, but in the sessions that have taken place so far, president biden has really been focused on trying to find ways to hold trump accountable on the debate stage. with the areas where he really plans to criticize and try to try to draw a contrast with trump on our on the issues of reproductive rights. also calling out trump for efforts of stoking political violence

or trying to undermine democratic institutions. the ultimate goal like campaign official said, is to paint trump as chaotic and divisive and present biden as a steadier and wiser alternative. this official said that biden increasingly has become punchier in his speeches attacking trump. and that is the theme that will continue into the debate. but the immediate focus for biden will be here in los angeles where tomorrow he said to attend a high-dollar fundraiser with some real star power behind it, he will be on stage with former president barack obama, but also a less celebrities like george clooney and julia roberts. they will be participating in a discussion with jimmy kimmel. it really represents another moment for the biden campaign to try to tap into some of those. a celebrity endorsements that they have leading into this november election course. they are trying to build up an even bigger campaign war chest at a time when trump has actually increased his own fundraising, really potentially narrowing the gap in that money race. so far, campaign officials have

yet to detail exactly how much biden will raise in this fundraiser. but just a reminder back in march when he had that fundraiser with president obama in bill clinton, they raised about 26 million. the campaign is hoping to have a big hall in this fundraiser as they're preparing for that november like campaign against trump. and not just the camp, the november election, but also the first debate coming up in just a few weeks far-left signs and kristen holmes to both of you. thank you very much. joining us now, see you them political commentator, ashley allison and cnn senior political commentator scott jennings. scott trump, as you know, is huddling with advice, his advisors on how we will respond to various questions, including about the deadly january 6 riot how do you think he should answer that well, i think he needs to constantly steer this debate toward the topics that are causing to be leading in the polls right now. >> i mean, in any, in any debate situation, you want to try to get these things back to your ground. what would that be? inflation immigration,

crime, strength versus weakness? so the best move here is to try to move these things as much as possible back towards the firmus grant you can. and that's where he's reading biden are on those three topics actually were told the biden campaign wants to draw a contrast with trump on various issues such as reproductive rights, political violence, and democracy, for example, is this the right focus? as opposed to, let's say, the economy and other so-called kitchen table issues well, i think it's important that they do draw that contrast between donald trump and president biden, particularly on reproductive rights and democracy. >> but i also think the biden campaign and president biden is going to have to speak to the kitchen table issues that americans are feeling. and i think and i believe that the biden campaign has a story to tell. but what it should steer away from is a laundry list of accomplishments that can become numbing and voters aren't directly filling it and rather do to the storytelling of what

it means when the biden administration puts out a policy around gun violence reform is able to pass historic legislation and how that saves people's lives or puts out a policy about a kara agenda and how we have a growing community of people who need care. whether that's childcare or whether that's carrying for our elder parents and talk about how that's what they stand for. those are the issues that americans care about. and so it's drawing the contrast, but also connecting the dots on the real life issues and the personal effect that the biden campaign has had and can continue to have for four more years. >> it's interesting, scott, the trump and his surrogates have repeatedly said how poorly they expect biden will perform in this upcoming cnn debate. are they making your mistake and setting expectations too low? >> well you always played this game before these debates. i mean, truthfully, when you look at the polling and you look at just how little competence people having biden already and how little confidence they have

in his ability to do the job now and for four more years expectations are already low, so it's in my opinion hard to make them any lower. i think a strategy for trump here would be to try to keep it cool. you don't have to do all the talking in this debate. and when joe biden does most of the talking, sometimes things go off the rails. part of the strategy for trump here could be coming out of this debate if biden doesn't change the trajectory, the campaign, it's gonna be hard for him to get out of this quicksand. the way to possibly help that happen is to let biden talk as much as he wants. because that's been happening for the last couple of years. and obviously he's stuck at a approval rating below 40%. are actually president's. we checked have often done poorly in the first debate. and biden will have less prep time than he had four years ago. what does this successful debate look like for him? would i would poke the baer and donald trump is the baer and let people see and be reminded

of what those four years under donald trump, what work chaos, hate, anger nonsense, spewing from donald trump's mouth telling us jack bleach during covid, i would tell the story of how donald trump failed leading our country under covid, and how joe biden was the one who opened our economy up and got vaccines in people's arms. so i think that he has been doing the job because he knows these issues and i would lean into the humanity that empathy that joe biden is so known for and reintroduce and continue to re-introduce themselves as a caring, compassionate leader who understands personally because he's experienced it in his life. what americans are facing, unlike donald trump, there's so many ways to draw comparisons against between the two of them. and i would hope that president biden leans into that scott. >> we now know that trump is set to campaign in detroit this weekend in an effort to court black voters. that comes amid a new interview that he gave to semaphore, in which trump

responds to accusations of racism saying this, and i'm quoting him now, i have so many black friends that if i were a racist they wouldn't be friends they would know better than anybody and fast and quote, what's your reaction to that well, i mean, donald trump does have a lot of african americans supporters. >> there's a lot of republican leaders who are african americans. it's strongly support donald trump. and this is a key voting block and the election obviously, they are for not happy with joe biden. the biden campaign strategy with black voters and specifically a black men is shut up and show up. that's it. and donald trump's trying to have a conversation with them and say, you're not happy with what you got. i want to talk to you and bring you into this campaign. they're reaching out to african american influencers, sports figures, and different people who can help carry that message. he doesn't have to win black voters are black man, he just needs a carve out a few percent and it strikes me that they're on track to do that right now, if you look at the polling, so it's very alarming

for the biden campaign, i think to see trump going right at the heart of what has been a core democratic constituents and michigan, obviously being a key battleground state right now especially what's your response well, i wonder the last time trump was actually in detroit you know, oftentimes republicans say that democrats just show up and communities to get both. >> it seems like donald trump is doing that. i don't remember the last time he hadn't been to the bronx, but coincidentally, he has a campaign rally in it this cycles so i think what donald trump is doing right now is trying to show up in the late stages of his campaign to begin to court black voters. but what i do think democrats need to do, they do need to show up and have that conversation and understand where voters are. we often say, meet the person, meet the voter where they are. if you are not had with joe biden an acknowledged that have a conversation, talk about what you're unhappy about and the biden campaign then needs to make the case about why they should black voters should stick with president biden. i

will just say joe biden is not going to win black voters, but he does need to ensure and run a successful campaign to make sure black voter or excuse me, donald trump i'm just not going to win black voters, but joe biden does need to run a successful campaign to make sure that black voter show up and don't stay home this cycle. >> actually, al-nasser, the scott jennings to both of you. thank you very much. and to our viewers, be sure to join cnn for our debate between president joe biden and former president donald trump. that's i'm thursday, june 27, 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. and just ahead, we're breaking down the major us supreme court decision on gun rights. why the conservative justices are reversing a policy, put in place by former president trump. plus, we'll have a live report from london, britain's princess catherine, sharing new details on her cancer battle and announcing your first public appearance in months devastating and sudden power of tsunamis. it happened in far away lands and it's easy to

the us supreme court issued another major decision today, striking down a trump era ban on bump stocks. the gun accessory used in the deadliest mass shooting in us history, cnn's paula reid is on the story for us. paula take us through this important ruling all this is one of the big gun rights related cases before the high court. this term, and here they struck down a ban on bump stocks, which enables semi-automatic weapons to fire at speeds comparable to machine guns. >> and this was a where regulation to result from a mass shooting specifically the las vegas mass shooting, which left dozens of people dead and hundreds of people injured not today's opinion fell along ideological lines. >> justice clarence thomas writing for the majority, quote, we hold that a semiautomatic rifle equipped with a bump stock is not a machine gun because it cannot fire more than one shot by in a single function of the trigger. and even if it could, it would not do so automatically. >> now the three liberal

justices joined in a fiery dissent written by justice sonia sotomayor, who wrote quote, when i see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck. >> i call that bird a duck, a bump-stock-equipped semiotic nomadic rifle fires automatically more than one shot without manual reloading by a single function of the trigger because i like congress call that a machine gun. i respectfully dissent. now the atf, which put forth at this regulation released a statement today calling on congress to take legislative action to restrict bump stocks. but of course, wolf, that is something that is highly unlikely to happen in an election year. >> paula, with just write a few days to go before the end of this supreme court term what other cases are we still waiting for the justices to decide? >> well, we still are waiting for about 20 to come over the next couple of weeks and some of the big ones that folks are watching four some foam foremost, a lot of folks looking at the case related to former president trump and whether he has immunity to shield him from the federal

election subversion case. also, questions about other people who have been charged with obstruction related to january 6, yesterday, we got an answer on one of the big abortion cases. mifepristone, the justices unanimously swerved round that question, but there's still an outstanding question out of idaho about what do you do when you have a state with restrictive abortion laws that come up against more permissive a federal abortion laws. there was also another big gun rights case. and that question is whether folks who have a restraining order related to domestic violence can own a firearm also a big really potentially just an earthquake in terms of the federal government case related to the power of federal agencies. and then there are a few outstanding questions about the ability to censor or the or tried to censor social media company. so there are a lot of outstanding questions and we expect to get them over the next a few weeks. >> we' all going to be busy looking at the supreme court decisions. paula reid. thank you very, very much joining us now, cnn legal

analyst norm eisen, and scene and our senior legal analyst, elie honig. elie, let me start with you. what are the stakes in the trump immunity case that we're still waiting for a decision from the supreme court on. and why do you think the court has yet to release its ruling while if this is the big one, this is i think the most important case on the supreme court's calendar. >> the stakes are absolutely enormous. and here's why if you think about the possible scenarios that can result from this, i don't think it's at all likely the supreme court wholeheartedly accepts donald trump's immunity argument and just dismisses the case. i think we're looking at too realistic scenarios that are so different from a legal and political perspective. one outcome is the supreme court could reject donald trump's immunity argument, in which case the case goes back to the trial court and we're very likely could have a trial on jack smith's january 6 case happening in august, september, october of this election year the other scenario is this supreme court can say yes, there is such thing as presidential immunity, but it has to go back to the trial court to do for fact-finding.

if that happens, that will probably take too long and this trial probably will not happen before the election. so you can see the enormity of the consequences if we just play out those scenarios norm, it's interesting that the court isn't scheduled to issue more decisions until thursday, further delaying any resolution to trump's immunity claim at what point does holding that trial before the election become totally unrealistic? >> well, while we were on the brink of that, this question of whether the immunity that donald trump asserts even to send seal team six to assassinate his political rivals was first place before the supreme court on december 11, 2023. there's no call to take six months to decide the absurdity of that question. and with every passing day, they're more responsible for the problem you identify of getting this trial on the books? we'll

see ely's right about the two forks in the road we'll see which one they take. you couldn't still jama trial in or if they announce a test with fact-finding, the district court has time to do a mini trial ascertain the facts and determine whether immunity applies or not. it doesn't on these allegations elie, the supreme court has also dealing with the fallout, as you know, from the revelation that justice thomas took more trips with a gop megadonor that he reported just last week. can anything be done to require more transparency from these justices well, if it's really difficult to force the supreme court to do anything they by and large make their own rules. >> but i also don't want to say nothing can be done because there are steps that can be taken. first of all, if we look to congress, they can try to pass laws. there have been efforts to pass laws. you would need bipartisan support all right. that does not appear to exist, but there's also really important oversight function that congress serves. and the

newest revelations actually came out through the senate judiciary committee. so there's an important fact-finding oversight function that congress plays. and then if we want real meaningful reform, it's gotta come from the supreme court itself. it's gotta come from the chief justice. they have to show a real interest in leadership transparency, that they've not shown just yet, nor imposed show public trust in the court has fallen amid a series of these ethical scandals. what kind of impact does that have as the court is set to release these key decisions in several very high-profile cases in the coming couple of weeks well well, it's devastating. it's still worse ethics crisis. we've seen at the united states supreme court in the history i wrote nation, you have to justices justice thomas, whose wife was a witness involved in the january 6 event just this alito who we now know, flu flags as home featured flags the home where he lived of insurrectionist

symbolism. and then you combine that with these substantial financial disclosures that have come out. it's a crisis certainly as norm eisen and elie honig to both of you. >> thank you very much coming up. >> the surprise push being made by pope francis today during his meeting with world leaders, including president biden real-life at the g7 summit because let it putin today invokes a nuclear threat in a warning to the west the most anticipated moment the selection 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 presidential debates thursday in 2079, live on cnn and streaming unmatched won't be effects of viagra. but faster meat roast parts. they contain sildenafil and to dalla fill with sparks, dissolve under the time dissolvable work faster the mode screen pills cia sparks are right for you at row

provoking angry backlash from russian president vladimir putin. >> listen to this we have come unacceptably close to the point of no return. >> but as you get, i see halston put a strategic defeat on russia, which has the largest arsenal nuclear weapons can result in tragedy. our senior white house correspondent, mj lee is traveling with president biden. she has the latest from the g7 us president joe biden and his fellow world leaders, showing a united front of support for ukraine this week at the 50th of g7 summit i think a collective message to vladimir putin. you cannot wait us out. he cannot divide us. and we'll be with ukraine until they prevail in this war, thanks to every american heart that does not be three freedom and support us in their final day of working meetings on friday, the group focused on ways of

kneecapping china's economic dominance, as well as beijing's support for russia's defense industrial base. >> we discussed are shared concern about countries like china reese replied, raju and materials they need for their war machine. >> other top items on their agenda, the situation in the middle east and climate change liters of the world's richest seven nations. also grace by a historic visit from pope francis the pontiff, attending the g7 summit for a session focused on artificial intelligence it's up to each to make good use of it and it's up to politics to create the conditions whereby this good use is possible and fruitful. >> the pope himself has been the subject of so-called deep fakes. like these viral images from last year featuring him in a white puffer jacket. the world leaders hoping to make headway on ways of regulating

the proliferation of ai technology. it responsible and ethical ways. biden meeting with the pope separately on the sidelines of the summit, the private audience marking at least the fifth time the two men have met their last sit down in 2021 at the vat again around that year's g20 gathering, most significant warrior for peace, i've ever met a devout catholic. >> biden has credited the pope for bringing him comfort and solace after one of the toughest moments of his life, the death of his son, beau, the president, reflecting years later on his family's private visit with pope francis in 2015, just months after boats passing, you knew and a man he was and it has such a cathartic impact on his children. and my wife and our family that meant a great deal. he's everything i learned about catholicism from the time i was a kid going

from grade school through high school and wolf one dynamic that made this year's g7 quite unique is that if you look at the roster of the g7 liters president biden included a number of them are facing elections back home, and almost all of them are facing serious political challenges back home as well. >> one senior official told me today that the us presidential election didn't come up at least in the working sessions that they were a part of an another official had said donald trump, and the possibility of a second trump term didn't come up either. >> but i think there was recognition among the leaders in southern italy here this week that the makeup of the g7 could look very different next year. >> and that of course, could have real ramifications for all of the work that they did this week? >> yeah. >> i think you're right. mj lee reporting for his mj. thank you. meanwhile, former president trump's age is looming over him today as he turns 70 eight 8-years-old is

81-year-old opponent president biden, also, no stranger to questions about the subject. are bryan tanno is a closer look at the politics of age. brian, some voters are clearly concerned. both of these candidates are too old for office. they are wolf and the polls repeatedly show that tonight those concerns over the ages of joe biden donald trump, are reaching a crescendo and their campaigns are struggling over how to deal with those concerns with a spontaneous song from supporters recently, the former president was taken aback. there's a certain point at which you don't want to hear happy birthday we just want to pretend the day doesn't exist. >> that day is today, donald trump has turned 78-years-old and once again, age is a front and center issue in this campaign. >> i think a lot of americans wish that these cavities, we're not as old as they are, that at one joe biden is the oldest president in american history. if trump wins he'll be the oldest president ever at a

swearing in. the median age for all us presidents at their first inauguration, 55-years-old just yesterday first lady jill biden said this election is not about age. >> you and that other guy are essentially the same age. let's not be fooled oh is it one of the most effective president's of our lives in spite of his age. but because of it trump has sometimes gone after biden's competence rather than his age. >> he is incompetent. ladies and gentlemen, he is grossly incompetent. >> a new biden video on x attacking trump says, age is just a number, but recent polls show some americans think age is more than a number, making it one of their top concerns particularly when it comes to president biden moments like one earlier this year raised questions when the president confuse the egyptian and mexican president's when talking about gaza the president of mexico, scc, did not want to open up the gate to

allow humanitarian material to get in. >> a recent cbs poll shows 65% of americans do not believe joe biden has the mental and cognitive health to serve as president but trump has had questionable moments of his own earlier this year, he confused former republican presidential candidate nikki haley, with former house speaker nancy pelosi in talking about the january 6 attack on the capitol nikki haley is in charge of security. we offered or 10,000 people soldiers, national guard. so whatever they want, they turned it down, trump and biden might look to ronald reagan as a template for how to handle concerns over age. 1984, the 40th president than 73-years-old, used humor to definitely deflect those concerns in a debate with walter mondale i am not going to exploit four political purposes. my opponent's youth and inexperience one conservative analyst gives the perception edge ever so slightly to trump for now,

it's how they wear their age and biden wears his age worse than trump. >> they're both prone to bouts of gibberish. it's clear. but biden has more of the posture and the gate of a an old man some of trump's allies see his age as a factor that could potentially help him in at least one area. they see it could keep him out of jail following his felony conviction as one attorney who's friendly to the former president said it would be absurd to put trump in prison because he is a quote, elderly first offender, wolf bryan todd reporting, brian, thank you very much. just ahead. >> the major court order today in the case of infowars founder alex jones, a judge ruling and how the conspiracy theorists will have to pay 1.5 billion billion dollars over his lies about the 2012 sandy hook massacre this election season, staley with cnn, with more reporters on the ground. and

they wanted everything to be sold off. other families from taxes argued against it, and this was because they said that liquidation is a lengthy and costly process. and by not liquidating by having the company be in bankruptcy court, they could get their money faster through state courts and the judge agreed with them. in fact, the judge sounded very thoughtful and almost paint in some of his when he was making his decision saying that he recognized that the timing of this was hard because father's day is coming off. he said it was one of the most most difficult cases. he has ever had, but he said this was in the best interest of the families. >> vasco. thank you very much for that update and coming up britain's princess catherine, releasing new details today on her cancer battle, including an upcoming return to the public eye the assignment with audie cornish, listen wherever you get your podcasts. >> every time i needed a new phone, i had to switch carriers. >> i told him that frozen everyone can get the best deals like that. >> iphone 15 on them, switching
