tonight on 316 new reporting on how the former president has been preparing for next week cnn debate. now just eight days away. and word of a new name, it could be considering as a running mate also tight, let vladimir putin and kim jong un have agreed to a new military partnership. how concerned should the west b and ukraine plus louisiana becomes the only state in america? mandate displaying the ten commandments and every public classroom what happens now? good evening. thanks for joining us with just eight days to go until the former president faces off against the current one in cnn's first the campaign presidential debate. there are new details about how donald trump is preparing. they suggest is new york times maggie haberman will explain in a moment the hi and closed doors. the former president is taking it seriously at the same time, very publicly. he's also laying the groundwork in case he doesn't do so well in the debate stage by making completely wild claims that a good biden performance will be drug enhanced these going to be
5:02 pm
so pumped up, he's going to be pumped up you know, all that stuff that was missing about a month ago from the white house what happened? >> who drew left is somebody left at that i wonder, let's see, somebody left it's a laptop in an office of a gentleman was supposed to fix the laptop from hell. he never picked it up and somebody didn't pick up hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cocaine. i wonder who that could have been so just as a point of fact, the bag found in the white house visitor or a storage cubby last summer contain less than a gram of cocaine according to a storage to conservative republican congressmen who was briefed by the secret service on it. >> a hundreds of thousands of dollars for cocaine would weigh dozens of pounds also, taking up the idea that president biden will be medicated for the debate. congressman ronny jackson running jackson was the former white house physician who was allegedly so free and easy prescribing drugs without a prescription, he became known as the candy man, which the congressman denies jackson also
5:03 pm
administered a cognitive test are the former president, which the former wasn't claimed. he aced that we couldn't remember congressman jackson's last name. he kept calling him johnson the other day, joining us now with the new debate prep reporting your time senior political correspondent maggie haberman. so what do you view heard about how trump has taken this, as you know, there are ample opportunities for trump to make flubs as much as he tries to point out what biden does. trump is taking this more seriously than people allow publicly, right? i mean, in public, his aides often downplay the prep that he does. he's been doing not standard debate prep. he doesn't have stand-ins as of now for biden in these debates. >> so he's not doing mock debates, not doing locked debates, no. >> that could, that could certainly changed. but he's been doing what they've been describing as policy time, where they bring in different people to brief him a bunch of senators have come on, come in last week. senator marco rubio and senator eric schmitt both briefed him at the orange see headquarters after his meetings with lawmakers around capitol hill, which was his first major meeting with party members since he became the presumptive nominee and they are focusing on various issues that could
5:04 pm
come up. abortion, health care energy covid, and then very specifically in this was one thing that came up last thursday. what trump will say when asked january 6 related questions, particularly his statements about pardoning some of the people who were arrested in connection with the violence of willie. >> do we do know when he tried to be vague and not be pinned down on whether he'll pardon them all on that one. what they are hoping he is going to say. and again, who knows what he'll we'll actually say, but what they're hoping he is going to say is some version of it depends on the case. he has left it much broader in the past and said he'll likely pardon people again across the board. think that they're going to try to have him point to specifics, including people who were arrested where they were not that close to the building. >> do you know in past did he do mock debates? i mean, did he have somebody playing somebody? well, chris christie, i mean, played a version of hillary clinton and he played a version of biden in 2020. >> and then in 26 to 2016 before that. so yeah, i mean,
5:05 pm
those those were look trump doesn't like prep. i mean, he considers its school. so the fact that they've gotten him to do it this way is actually pretty revealing and also speaks to the fact that i think he knows that this has to go well for him. he has said to people multiple times that he knows that he interrupted too much in the first debate with biden in 2020 and having just re-watch that debate recently, it's really striking. i mean, we all talked about it at the time, but biden could barely get a word in edgewise and biden was kinda smiling throughout out as this was happening maggie's do with this. >> i want to bring in from white house foreign biden white house communications director kate betting field also, sarah longwell, publisher of the bulwark longtime republican strategists, a critic or the former president. what is your reaction to maggie's reporting that trump is apparently doing more of these policies sessions while biden is sticking to more traditional debate prep with your old boss, former white house chief of staff, ron klain i'm actually not surprised to hear this from maggie because i think donald trump recognizes
5:06 pm
that she said that the first debate in 2020, which was essentially a free for all where kind of his worst characteristics were on display. >> his most chaotic energy was on display. i think he knows and his team knew that wasn't good for him. and i think there's every reason to expect that a more disciplined version of donald trump may show up at this debate. mean think about it. the format is actually i would argue probably to trump's benefit no. audience, that mike's being cut off, it means he's not going to have the sort of rambling ram. the rambling rally, donald trump, that we get at his rallies and it will potentially be an opportunity for him to be a lot more discipline. so i think that it certainly makes sense if you're somebody who's strategizing on behalf of donald trump to try to convince him to show up and be that version of themselves. and i think it's reasonable to to expect that we'll see that version of it and you think not having an audience play, it helps donald trump i do because i think the thing that will be the most problematic for him is the angry energy, the chaotic energy, the interrupting he
5:07 pm
feeds off crowds. >> he gets whipped up into a frenzy and i think part of what biden should do in this debate and what i think he wants to do is try to kinda put the worst of donald trump on display, put that chaotic energy on display, and i actually think a more sedate room that will bring trump's energy level down is probably actually a good thing for donald trump sarah, i know you do focus groups to gop voters. >> do you think many of those voters will be impacted? by this debate or opinions already baked in yeah, we'll look for the base voters opinions are baked in and for a lot of those people, they think that joe biden has dementia, right? >> because that's what they hear all the time from right-wing media ecosystem. but what biden needs to focus on are these swing voters, these independence, even right-leaning independents? for them, you know what i hear in the focus groups. and we talk a lot about double-haters, them being the persuadable group. this election cycle and the good news for joe biden is they don't actually hate joe biden. those voters, they're just they're worried he's too old. and so when he has performances
5:08 pm
like he had at the state of the union, and if he has a good performance of this debate he shows up, he shows command to the policy material. he goes on some offense against donald trump around the conviction around january 6. they just want to see that he's still got it, that he can do the job. and i think if he clears that bar he can do a lot to take these voters who are pretty unhappy about this choice and move them into his column because while they don't hate joe biden, they do many of them hate donald trump. and so i think the more that these voters see of donald trump the more he comes back into their frame, the more they think. oh yeah, i really don't like that guy and i don't feel comfortable putting him in charge of the country and biden it's just got a hold the line, right? keep that anti-trump coalition together. >> mega understand according to reporting, trump's from working with senator haggerty is one of the senators who has been in they've had this rotating cast of characters who have come in to talk about different policy. what's interesting about haggerty is that his name has
5:09 pm
come up in the context of the vice presidential stakes in the last couple of weeks. as i mentioned, marco rubio. rubio is one of the people who was with trump last week. he is one of the top tier candidates. i don't think haggerty is, but it just speaks to the degree to which number one, the republican establishment is coalesced around donald trump and trying to help him in this election. and number two, that they see advantage in having director time with him this way, it is interesting that he's having all these people come and talk policies. policies, obviously not something that's front and center when you think of donald trump or even in his long rambling rallies, he has a series of agenda items that he can point to you from when he was president and that's what they're trying to focus his mind mind on to your point, a lot of what he has talked about over the last two years has been grievances. his court cases, i think he has been so singular and was during the manhattan trial. so singularly focused on what was taking place there that they're trying to get his mind back to what he can talk about, about what he did there are things that i
5:10 pm
think he can speak to about policy, but there's also a lot of stuff that is going to be a problem for him. the january 6 related questions, i think are going to be a problem. the pardons question is going to be a problem. his promises of retribution are going to be a problem when those come up. and i anticipate president biden will reference his criminal and i'll conviction now, i'm quite confident based on my reporting that donald trump will then 0.2 hunter biden's criminal conviction and this could be an uglier debate than we have seen in a very long time, omega0 to reference the 2020 debate between trump and biden. let's just play some of that vote. >> now in effect, you are, you in fact, let people know. he doesn't want to senator russia. i'm not going to answer the question. did that because the question is the question justice left. >> would you? >> who is on your list, joe, this don't you write, gentlemen, i think because. i just pack, the court get benningfield. >> i mean it wasn't sure on
5:11 pm
presidential and it is interesting for maggie is reporting that he has said to people, he thinks that was a mistake or not that moment. but that he was two negative yeah. >> yeah, two negative. and also just the constant interrupting. i mean, remember the audience that matters here is the television audience and watching that on television was unbearable, it was unbearable to watch i can just continue to interrupt, continued to berate the moderator, and i think again, like it really, really helped joe biden do do the work biden was trying to do there and really kind of showcase. this is not the guy that you want in the oval office is temperament, isn't right. he's disrespectful and it was really we saw in the data on the biden campaign after that debate, it it's really a turn-off for swing voters, for moderate voters, for suburban voters so i think to sarah's point, earlier in this conversation, i think this is joe biden's task for the debate to connect with those people you saw in that clip there looking directly to a camera, i expect that something he'll do a lot of during this debate as well, to really
5:12 pm
connect with those particularly moderate suburban voters who you can't stomach donald trump, maggie haberman, keep betting fields or along well, thank you so much for coming up next. vladimir putin and kim jong-un will show you the young, young pump but fitting red square and the cold war days and the cold war chill their new defense treaty conjures up also take you live to moscow and we're live as well in the final airlines in new mexico where hundreds of homes and buildings have now burned a second person has now died. there's also no. the threat of flash flooding duties celebrating freedom and legacy to light at ten on cnn so i hear some of you are concerned about the fact that i'm taking you know, for the company will rest assured companies in great hands marcy hit the homes.com. >> we've done on your homework now, that is worth celebrating i love it.

5:16 pm
when you do better at fisher investments were clearly different vladimir putin is in vietnam tonight, a country which is warming toward the united states recently, but it's been a longtime buyer of russian military equipment. >> vladimir putin flu, they're from north korea where he was greeted with a lot of pomp and pageantry and signed a mutual defense pact with kim jong-un and i have a details now from cnn's matthew chance and moscow this was carefully choreographed pomp and ceremony a lavish welcome in north korea for the russian president young pyongyang's central square, tens of thousands cheered waving flags and balloons is their own ruthless autocrat, kim jong stood shoulder to shoulder with the kremlin strong it's been 24 years since putin's last visit here.
5:17 pm
>> now, international sanctions and have driven him back later, the two leaders signing a strategic alliance treaty unwavering, they called it heralding and new and dangerous phase in cooperation between moscow and pyongyang giotto do trickle then can you can each row, evan, i've no dank. this powerful we'll treaty will be very constructive, declared kim jong-un strictly peace-loving and defensive. he said, but honestly, when you're the go, we're emptying clarified the partnership includes mutual assistance in the event of aggression. >> that's similar to nato's article five, raising concerns ukrainian attacks exon russia could invoke the clause ready, us officials say russia is using north korean ammunition to sustain its barrage on the ukrainian front lines moscow
5:18 pm
and pyongyang deny arms transfers, which would be in violation of un sanctions. the kremlin, these all the help it can get to win its conflicts in ukraine what north korea may get in return is also concerned it's space ballistic missile and nuclear programs used to threaten the us and its allies would benefit from russia and technology, kremlin says pyongyang has even asked for help in the most sensitive areas back in pyongyang, the only tech being transferred so far seems to be automotive. the kremlin gifting kim, a russian made limo in which putin then drove him around during a brief interlude but then it was back to the business of state-sponsored flatter putin and kim stone-faced times sats as the captive audience clapped along to patriotic russian and
5:19 pm
korean songs leaders opposed to the us and its allies are isolated and sanctioned by the west in pyongyang, at least neither looks like a pariah in matthew chance joins us now from moscow. so prudent has now moved to vietnam. do we know what is hoping to accomplish in that part of the trip? >> yeah. i mean, it's gonna be a lot less ambitious. i think that those dramatic scenes that we saw in pyongyang, the kremlin says that it wants to establish closer cooperation on the nuclear issue. nuclear power generation in vietnam it was to boost educational exchanges, boost tourism. in other words, a lot more about increasing trade and business ties, lot less about fighting the united states and its allies so that the chance, thanks so much for spectral now from cemetery, former cia north korea analysts and currently a senior fellow and korea chair
5:20 pm
at the center for strategic and international studies. how significant do you think is this partnership now between russia and, and north korea? >> it's significant in this is a big deal this was it was leading to this and i think a lot of korea experts were warning about this because north koreans have been supplying russia with weapons, right? they've sent 10,000 over 10,000 containers of munitions and artillery shells and rockets and ballistic missiles and so on to be used in crane. and this was very concerning. and if you remember, kim jong-un went and russia met with putin last fall in september. and two months after they successfully launched a satellite or so when they failed to do so previously. so then there was also a question of okay. north korea of supplying russia with weapons. but what what is russia now supplying russia? north korea width. so now they meet and now they have this treaty. >> this is very big deal in vladimir putin was asked about
5:21 pm
cooperation on atomic issues. he said nobody's asked for, they haven't asked for anything that is obviously the biggest concern i would think yes. >> put in giving since the military technology. and there's a lot the russians can provide because north korea is right now, david, david advancing their program, devyn diversifying, expanding their missile capability, but they need a lot of sensitive technologies to really perfect. their capability. and that's what can we'll be looking for from putin and the key question is whether putin will do that or not he has some reasons not to do that. he doesn't want to just keep away sensitive technology, but he's very desperate. there's a reason why putin has not visited north korea in 24 years. >> he was already sorted dismissive of north korea in pat and pants state russia wanted to. north korea is like hundred 98 ranked economy in the world. it's a poor say they could feed its people. there was a reason why putin didn't visit. so the fact that now he
5:22 pm
has visited shows his desperation levs, you think this is just sort of a temporary alliance while they're useful for russia. and then once ukraine is resolved, one way or another, that he turns away from them again at people who make that argument because in the past when you look at it in the russia, north korea the relationship, there were times when russia practical played no role after the collapse of the soviet union, data kind of stay away. >> but now so it depends on what happens with ukraine if the war goes on putting will continually need kim jong-un. >> but if the war ends, does it still need? can gentlemen? but still the fact that now they have signed this treaty is still very noteworthy as you warn, in our recent article in foreign affairs, that the us and its allies in the asia-pacific region could face new provocations from north korea as we get closer, the us presidential election what typically in a presidential election year, when you just historically, north korea likes
5:23 pm
to act out and conduct provocations and then this is also a year maybe from kim jong un's perspective, he would want president trump back. and once you make trouble for the biden administration and international environment right now is favorable for north korea. those absolutely no repercussion to whatever north korea does because we have complete inaction at the united nations security council, china and russia, obviously russia is now not they're not implementing sanctions, they are not playing ball, they're not helping the west at all. so there's no repercussion for north korea. if i'm kim jong-un myself, if i'm advising you, don't what i would say, go ahead and perfect your nuclear missile capability so to increase its leverage. so when north korea does sit down with united states, potentially trump when he comes it's back. >> then they have more leverage. north korea has every incentive in the world to continue ramp up its wmd capabilities. >> you return. thank you so much. appreciate it. coming up more on what to expect next week, cnn presidential debate.

leaf filter today, more visit lee filter.com debate in america as biden than trump meet and only cnn has complete coverage with unrivaled access and exclusive pre and post a beat analysis. >> follow cnn for every catalyst moment, followed debate night in america begins june 27 at seven today, louisiana became the first state in the country to require the ten commandments be on display in every public school classroom from kindergarten to state funded universities under a bill signed by republican governor jeff landry under the new state law, which will take effect in 2025, the commandments must be poster size and a large, easily readable font. >> in a joint statements of liberties groups and other opponents, including americans united for separation of church and state say, they'll file a lawsuit challenging the law, calling it bluntly unconstitutional. joining us now, proud son of louisiana democratic strategist james carville, and cnn senior political commentator scott jennings, who served in the george w bush administration. i
5:28 pm
should have said, set proud son of carville, louisiana. so james what do you make has new law in your home state? >> well, i think given storm season is coming up with ten commands, we need to hail mary. >> there would be much more appropriate, but what we face, i don't know which one to go put up as ten different versions that attended in commandments and our schools are so underfunded that i'm not sure have to kids even know how to read them. but if one of the dumbest waste of time i've seen in my life, the schools in louisiana traditionally have ranked very low in the rankings of schools in america. it's gone up. i think free k through 12 has gone up a little bit in recent years, but has not by much. government adwords. >> john barrel did a great job. i mean, you take goddess often bottom, but governor landry's intent on putting this back on the bottom. >> it seems like, but i'm serious. when i look at this storm season in the summer, come ahead it's going to be a
5:29 pm
fundamentally different country come net october of this year. it's going to really be bad. >> scott. >> i mean, is this violation the first evidence establishment clause, separation of church and state? >> i don't know. i mean, maybe maybe not. i mean, that's for courts to decide. i don't have a particular problem with this. if somebody wants to hang up a piece of paper in a school room that says, hey, kids don't murder, don't steal, don't lie and respect your parents. and that doesn't bother me. i'm not out here crusading for it and i certainly don't think public school teachers should be preachers, but these are the fundamental tenants of western civilization. they underpin our entire criminal justice system in a look, if they're part of a historical display, if they're hanging up there next to the constitution, the mayflower compact, the declaration of independence. i don't have a problem with, but i do think it's sort of amusing that there are people out here. so in raid aged buy this today, who at the same time would love to use public schools and public libraries and other public facilities to distribute information that more matches their own agenda. so i think people are overreacting to this and the courts are going to
5:30 pm
have to get involved and see what see what the interpretation of the law's are. >> james that mr. difference between having something a book in a library and something posted in every classroom? >> from luck book barnea talking points. >> all right. these people want to burn books, take about a libraries you can't substitute greed and writing arithmetic. we're like i say yeah, but the courts, i have to flush this out, but there's 1,000 found in documents kentucky had a similar law of problem is you gotta get can read them right who knows what this court will do, but the blame it up. >> it'll go right up there. legal system or what i find fascinating is the book burners really wanted ten command give me a break. >> it's got how much of this really is about quality public. sorry, go ahead, scott. >> i worry about, i worry about the quality of public education everywhere. i worry, especially about it coming out of the
5:31 pm
pandemic when you have an epidemic of kids who have just disappeared, they can't find kids right? >> but is this really about the quality of public education or is it about election year politics and trying to get another so-called religious freedom case in front of the supreme court but i don't i don't necessarily think teaching basic, fundamental values of western civilization is in congruent or in opposition to also having quality education in a school system. >> and if i i do respect the hell out of james carville, he's a legend in our business and for people who do what i do but you are not going to set on this television at night, call me a book burner. i do not believe in burning books. i strongly believe in the first amendment. i have no interest in restricting any information and i straw i strongly reject the ad hominem attack. we can disagree on this, but you're not going to call her on tv, right well, the correlation between book burners and people i want to ten commandments is high. >> i can tell you it actually warrant but 80% of the book burners want to be now, there's the high correlation there and even want to talk about fundamental american values, tried to first amendment but that's me.
5:32 pm
>> for the record, i will say i have not heard scott jennings talked about bringing any books anytime that a lot a lot. there's a lot of bananas at what you're saying james a correlation, james carville. appreciate your time. scott jennings as well. thank you more now, on our top story tonight, presidential debate prep with the first showdown right here on cnn, eight days from now, as new york times, maggie haberman told us moments ago, the former president is taking part in policy sessions loose with his advisers rather than mach debates for now, whereas frozen biden will reportedly once again to be undergoing more traditional debate prep back in 2020. in my next guest helped in that effort for them, kennedy biden by playing the part of trump for his and biden's personal attorney, bob bauer, there. who was the white house council during the obama administration, de days. a bowers, the author of a new book, the unraveling reflections on politics without ethics and democracy in crisis. i spoke to him earlier mr. bauer, thanks for joining us. you wrote in the book, you said, whatever happens, i will have the memories of the biden
5:33 pm
trump debates in which ai is donald trump played my part lying and blustering and bullying my way through the mock sessions. i was expected to be at my trump worst as personally insulting and unhinged as trump can be. and quote how did you go about preparing for that any debate prep involves immersing yourself in whatever the candidate who you are playing immersing yourself in whatever they have said videos of their interviews, videos of their speeches speeches, so that you can really seriously, i mean, not by way of doing some sort of comic impression, but seriously model out what the experience of debating will be like. >> and that's how you prepare. you prepare intensively by just exposing yourself to that material video and writing audio. as extensively as you possibly can be. for the prep begins how in the debate perhaps that i have done
5:34 pm
oftentimes, when you know, everything a candidate has said it is very effective as preparation because they often do repeat the same leinz literally, sometimes the same intonations how accurate were you in your debate prep? >> well, and all the debate perhaps that you do, you absolutely hope to achieve accuracy. you're trying to be helpful. so the debate prep process, and so you're looking to provide an experience that is close to what will actually happen as possible and i'm sure i missed a few steps along the way. >> each debate prep is different. >> each session within debate prep is different. but you're absolutely right. the key is to be accurate and then you judge yourself by how the candidate that you played actually turns up how that candidate actually performs when the debate occurs. >> your book, the unraveling, it's about politics without ethics and a democracy in crisis you write in the book,
5:35 pm
