imprint.com imprint for certain. >> cnn this morning with kasie hunt next it's friday, june 24. >> right now on cnn this morning. the judge in donald trump's classified documents case, ready to hear a request? the former president to invalidate the appointment as special counsel, jack smith millions of americans facing life-threatening flooding and suffocating heat with no let up in sight and new concerns that israel's iron dome could be overwhelmed if a full-blown war breaks out against hezbollah 5:00 a.m. here in washington, here's a fly book in new york city. the morning, everyone. i'm on a rod, you infer kasie hunt. it's great to be with you this morning later today,

donald trump's lawyers will be in a florida courtroom taking aim at the prosecutor who brought criminal charges against the former president over his handling of classified documents at mar-a-lago federal judge, aileen cannon will hear arguments on a request by trump to declare jack smith's appointment as special counsel in the case invalid. trump is not expected to attend, but the decision by the judge to hear that request adds to the growing questions and criticism of our handling of the case and whether she slow-walking it similar challenges from trump and other high-level special counsel targets like hunter biden and paul manafort have fallen flat. yet this hearing comes to the new york times reports two federal judges urged judge aileen cannon to hand off the classified documents case but cannon, who was appointed by trump, wanted to keep the case and brushed off the requests according to that report, one of the judges need and the articles a silly i'll out an alga chief judge in the southern district of florida declined to comment to

cnn, the new york times did not name the other judge now, joining me now to discuss cnn legal analyst, joey jackson, joy. great to see you. good morning. this is pretty unusual request to unusual to hear a quiet to dismiss a special counsel. >> it's with jimmy reason for aileen cannon and granting this hearing today. so i think that the ultimate and bottom-line good morning to you, mano was it has to be about public confidence, right? i think what occurs and we could seriously have an argument as to whether she's drag this out. slow roll this gone down rabbit holes entertained issues that should not be entertained, but ultimately at least if you're going to look at the special appointment and it's propriety. i think it's important then to determine whether or not the special counsel was appointed properly, whether or not it should have been done by congress, whether or not the appointment being done by the attorney general was appropriate? i don't think

it carries much weight, but i think ultimately if the american people after hearing reached the determination that there's nothing to see here, then the matter goes forward confidently. nobody questions that dynamic of whether this is a political prosecution or otherwise. and so i don't question whether or not this should be this proceeding. i just question then the nature and manner monument which she is handled the entirety of this proceeding from the and i want to draw you get your lay out, your thinking on that because given the way that judge cannon has handled this case and repeatedly siding with trump team, essentially grinding this case in some ways to a halt. i mean, is there let me validity to the criticism that she is not handled this case neutrally i think there is validity to that, and that's what that's a problem. >> and i think that's why you know, potentially people are just looking at this saying, hey, what's going on? judges are going to make decisions, monitor that people don't agree with, right? that's a judge's

job. it's not to be popular, it's the focus on the law, but generally my experience as a practitioner is that judges liked to move the calendar along. what does that mean? it means that if a defense attorney has an issue, whether it be at appointment of a special counsel, whether it be you, how we're going to review classified documents, whether it be that this is indicative prosecution, you submit your motion, you have a hearing. you just don't hold onto things, not make decisions and drag mattos out and code down rabbit holes. and so it's a valid criticism. i don't question again, her competence right. i think you could say she's an experienced. okay. everybody once upon a time is going to be an experience. you could say she was only us attorney for several years but she comes from great great law schools. she's done great things but the bottom line is move the matter along, make decisions, right? give opinions, and you have law clerks, right? there are people who you work with as a judge who can write opinions for you. you have other judges.

you can consulted resources. so i just think that nature of how she's handle this really suggests it to the scrutiny that you and i are having this argument and it's a fair debate to say, what are you doing, judge, get this case on the road. she is not. >> what do you make of the new york times reporting that there were two judges apparently hill asked her to assembly hand off the case and she declined that request. >> so listen, as a federal judge, your appointed for life and you do what you think is most appropriate, though i make of it that there are other judges who did a look see at this and said, hey, maybe you're not the one to be evaluating this case. you are involved in this case in an earlier time there was a search warrant dealing with mar-a-lago that you may rulings upon the optics may not be fair or appropriate particularly when you made decisions early on in terms of the fbi's looking and search warrant, and it was favorable to trump get got reversed by an appellate court. they really use some strong language. again, you've maybe

you should move on. and so she made the decision not to and to keep the case what she could. but the fact that other judges came to her says that it's not just the public who had been a concern at the outset. colleagues had a concern and that's troubling. >> you know, i want you to just kinda way you in about how trump has long said that this is a two tiered system of justice. yet he in this case, for instance, he has succeeded in getting judge cannon and drawing this out. he's went to this gone to the supreme court to ask for immunity. maybe they'll ruled in his favor, but a very least, they have some key succeeded in delaying the two federal cases against them in a lot of ways, trump is benefiting from the same justice system in which she has criticized yeah monitor that's a great point. right. the reality is is that as i said at the outset, judge is going to make rulings that we don't agree with. that's the nature of it happens all the time, right. but the reality also is, is that it's a system that is

available to everyone you just can't cherry pick and when a judge doesn't do things that are favorable to you, say hell to tarik system, it's rag that's ridiculous. but when they do things your way, oh, great, judge. this is how it should be so you say great things about a judge who makes rulings that are favorable oh, but anyone who makes a ruling on favorable to you oh, it's a rag. it's you know, it's really a political hit job that's not the way it works. we've seen the prosecution of hunter biden really, joe biden's son that to me demonstrates that everyone's being scrutinized hasn't looked at and people are being held accountable for conda, whether you're democrat, republican, or otherwise, this is our system of justice. >> all right, joey jackson always appreciate your expertise. thanks for joining us early this morning. i appreciate it. >> all right. up next, a ballerina facing child in russia on treason charges, plus new details about how biden and trump are preparing for next week, cnn debate and why fbi agents just waited the home of

immunity against anything he does. >> i don't i don't think that's the way the founding fathers had expected it to be. but i do think for a lot of the things that a president is expected to do within his job description that i do think he has a significant amount of immunity. do you have a view on whether there should be a verdict but reached before the election? yeah. i think there should be a verdict. i don't think anything should be delayed on something like that. and this is love consequence the country to actually hear what this is right? >> joining me now to discuss nevada independent dc correspondent gabby birnbaum and washington examiner congressional reporters, samantha jo roth. good morning to you both. >> thanks for joining me in this early morning it's kind of interesting. you talk to republicans all the time. how did he view the trump's claim of call for total immunity? >> some of them are kinda like where mike rounds is. >> were the only believe that donald trump deserves total immunity and others say he absolutely should be protected

at all costs. >> yeah, it's a really interesting dynamic here, because you're going to see a lot of republicans who are not offering that full support of immunity and that is so much unlike a lot of the other topics we see where they full-throated li, support the former president and all of his proceeds. but you'll just hear across the board some of them believe full or not full immunity, but that's they should be held accountable. and you'll see that across the board if you talked to senator what hawley, if you talk to somebody, even the president's most fervent backers. >> and that's an interesting dynamic to see, especially on capitol hill when you talk to republicans, it would just have viewers remind them about how trump has talked about. >> this is from january early i buy him talking about amino de and why he believes he should be detected at all costs but do you have to have a guaranteed immunity for president? >> otherwise, the president is not going to be able to function. they're not going to move harry truman would not have done harry truman would

not have done hiroshima and nagasaki. you have to allow a president to do his job. they'll make decisions i suspect this is going to be a topic of debate next week to i would think so. >> yeah. >> what do you make of just trump his argument here. i mean, he's basically say his team in court is saying that last sees impeached and then convicted by the senate than that's when he can be prosecuted, not before that what will be interesting to me, i think is whether biden sort of presses this at the debate because i think the biden campaign husband trying to especially after he was found guilty in the case of new york, which is entirely separate, but trying to really hammer home the contrast between biden and trump especially, you know, saying trump is a criminal. >> and so i think with something that's undecided like this, but something that's key to biden's appeal, which just let's defense of democracy, wanting voters to be reminded of january 2, trump's role in it. i'll be really curious to see if biden presses that point particularly if as you're saying, if we see more delays with the trial, depending what the supreme court says, there's a lot still up in the

air. >> what do you think democrats view how biden has taken advantage are not taken advantage of the fact that donald trump was convicted on 34 felonies. you've heard some of that get into the messaging of biden. there was this new campaign ad this week attacking trump over the convictions is, are there, are democrats, democrats believed that he has effectively use this as a political weapon against trump. >> i think that they too, i think that they're treading very lightly because we've seen after, trial, this can fiction a lot of times for president trump's support just goes up. so this is something that they're treading very lightly over. but when you talk to democrats, they acknowledged this is such a big moment for the former or current president. this is his moment to prove that he can to this another four years and he has more on the line technically,

really then former president trump so they recognize this is going to be the big moment, as gabby said, you know, obviously he's going to bring some of this up in the debate. >> yeah. i mean, the debate next week, we learned yesterday that donald trump is gonna get the final word but the, this is the coin toss an, there's an agreement. >> each had to make a decision about biden out what side of this stage? ban on trump on the other side trump agreed, wanted to be the last person to speak here. >> but for trump, the interesting thing will be that the muting of the mics, like the, the, when you're not speaking, your mic is muted. >> that was not the case back in 2020 and that in some ways was one of donald trump this moments in the debate, maybe promised the meeting that mites could help on this time. >> i think it depends, right. i mean, we've seen by men trump debate before, right? this is the thing with this president, presidential election. nothing is necessarily new on the table here. so i hope, but i think people will tune into the debate to see what is the

vision for a second term, i think it'll be easier perhaps for biden to present that without trial i've been erupting constantly on mic anyway, but yeah, i mean, a lot of his most incendiary comments will come particularly in debates sort of off the cuff as he's hearing and responding to other people. and so i wonder if it's beneficial for him for biden and for us as viewers for not having to see that package was, i want to ask gabby about one, some reporting that you have i hear about nevada democrats suing to kick rfk jr. off presidential ballot over party affiliations. you write the nevada democratic party is leading this effort to keep rfk jr. from appearing on nevada's presidential ballot that alleging in a lawsuit that is expected to be filed on thursday in state court that kennedy's affiliation without a i've got parties violates nevada is legal requirements for independent candidates. so there's could be a model for removing kennedy from abouts and stays with similar laws. given what is your what are you hearing about the concern we didn't kennedy is not in the debate. next week, but

obviously there's a concern among democrats that he could appeal thoughts away from biden. >> yeah, i think both campaigns are honestly worried about him being a spoiler. you see some holes or is pulling from biden's somewhere is pulling from trump. i think whenever third-party candidates a merge, the two parties get scared, right? there's i mean, do you think it's trump or biden that gets impacted more by rfk gender. that's a good question. i think i think potentially actually could be former president trump. i wrote a whole story about how this could impact the elections in arizona. a state where it is just full of battleground and i am native arizona in and to see this, it's been really an interesting dynamic, but in a state like that, a third-party candidate could absolutely wing this hutcheon and i think a lot of the thinking is that at this time rfk jr. could take away some some votes from former president trump. and that's what trump has been attacking. rfk junior. but biden has not. i mean, yes, it's some of his surrogates have the party, state parties that but biden personally has stayed away from

do we think that at some point he's going to the president himself? what's are going after rfk junior? >> i think he might not need to. i think i mean, if they can limit his ballot access, which in nevada democrats are suing to do and he's also not helped himself. he misspelled united states on a document he had to resubmit it that's seen the campaign complicated word to spell, right? i really tough. they brought they brought him less money than they made in the month hey, there had cash on hand is more like a senate campaign at this point than a presidential. i think he's running into the wall that a lot of third-party candidates, i think head at this point in the election cycle and so for biden, i think if his surrogates if the dnc of state parties have some of the people he's brought into deal with this third-party threat. can effectively get rid of it. he himself might not have to address and he doesn't have much money maybe raised, but his running mate has a lot of body maybe that will help neutralize. thanks. all right, gavi birnbaum and samantha jo rob. thank you both for joining me this morning. really appreciate it we're less than a week away from the first presidential debate right here on cnn, both candidates getting

ready to face one another for the first time in nearly four for years, it's an historic remus, a first-time is sitting president will debate a former president. here cnn's jeff zeleny with an in-depth look at what to expect heading into thursday night the historic rematch between joe biden and donald trump is anything but a rerun, a vastly different set of issues are driving disarray as the president and former president come face-to-face for the first debate of the 2024 campaign four years since they shared a stage, the worst president in america has ever had in 47 months. >> i've done more than you've done in 47 years. joe feels like an upside down lifetime ago back when the coronavirus pandemic thank was raging understand if you look i mean, i have a mask right here. >> i put a mask on when i think i needed this is his economy has been he shut down in the biden trump's sequel, an entirely new fight has been brewing on the campaign trail. you could end up in world war

three with this person is the worst president ever. and in tv ads, this election is between a convicted criminal who's only out for himself and a president who's fighting for your family that offers a window into the new two issues and fresh lines of attack. a reminder of just how much the country, the world and yes, they have changed from an insurrection and all its fallout to a new fight on abortion rights in the wake of the us supreme court overturning roe versus wade to russia's invasion of ukraine and a war in the middle east to the very stark question of america's role in the world yet the economy, inflation, and immigration are still at the center of it. all trump's record was at the heart of their last debates, even as he sought to deflect if he gets in, you will have a depression the likes of which you've never seen your foro. one case will go to hell and it'll be a very, very sad day for this country while those warnings didn't come to pass, biden's record is now under the

microscope, complicating his effort to make it a referendum on trump, the fact is that everything he's saying so far is simply ally. >> i'm not here to call out his lies. everybody knows he's a liar and america's oldest presidential candidates, or even older trump 78 biden at one with age and fitness for office. now a central issue in the race public opinion for presidents can be punishing biden's favorability has fallen 11 point since 2020, with nearly six in ten americans holding an unfavorable view person captions of trump have changed less with more than half still seeing him in an unfavorable light. televised debates have long been a storied part of his presidential campaigns. history-making moments for candidates. >> here you go again. >> yet this showdown is without parallel. the nation's 45th and 46 presidents still seeking to define one another in the earliest general election debate in memory. and all dual being fought on new ground and

it will be an extraordinary sight. a sitting president facing a former president. it simply has never happened in a televised debate in american history. of course, the last debate was all about trump's record third, now, this one is likely to be about biden's record. of course both candidates are still trying to draw that contrast with one another. one thing is clear. this is the earliest debate in presidential campaign history. the question is, will this define the race for the months to come? jeff zeleny cnn washington all right. >> next to serious concerns about israel's iron dome. after increased threats from hezbollah. plus mlb honors the at america's oldest pro ballpark which report is next to crown will pursue victory at any cost i did not think they would be so eager to die house of the dragon streaming

lebanon, hezbollah will fight with no regulations, no rules, and no ceilings way yeah, with israel knows that there will be no place in the country safe from our missiles and drones all right, joining me now to discuss democratic strategist and former deputy assistant secretary for the obama administration, joel rubin door. good morning. >> to be with you. >> so how real are these concerns of an all-out war? >> they're very serious. this is not something to look away from it all and i'm glad to biden team is out there the most hochstein was in lebanon trying to calm the waters, get the lebanese government to engage, but they don't have a lot of control over hezbollah. a look, hezbollah is being directed by iran. iran has an interest in keeping this as a hot border, and israel has been striking into southern lebanon because largely hezbollah is displacing northern israelis from their homes civilians in israel, roughly 100,000 have been displaced and so the heat is turning up. i think that

israel day, they see this as part of a long continuum of struggles. there's not been a major war since 2006, and it looks like we might be heading there up on the lebanese border one thing that matt miller, the depth state department spokesman spokesman said yesterday, he said the best way to unlock the possibility of a resolution against the israel lebanese border would be achieving a ceasefire in gaza. >> but obviously that has been elusive. so it's been highly elusive. and look how hamas is not agreed to what president biden propose that is what needs to calm the waters that problem for the white house that they're speaking rational, normal, legitimate policy that the broader region once. but this is not what iran is looking for, is not what hamas wants and hezbollah, as we saw in that clip, has polis has been waging an ongoing war of attrition against israel and the dynamics are however, that israel can't fight this all alone. it needs broader regional allies. we saw in april that went around shop boys, sick missiles into

israel, multiple countries including jordan and saudi arabia came to israel's defense alongside me, united states, that's the kind of coalition they need. and they need to step back and not make this unilateral war against hizballah that will be a very dangerous situation for the israelis. meantime, the way that israel has been prosecuting this war has been an increased source of tension between biden and netanyahu and nino has been increasingly vocal about his criticism of president biden i didn't and his administration and about biden's threats himself to withhold weapons in the event of an all-out invasion into rafah netanyahu said this earlier this week it's been consume that in the past few months did ministration has been withholding weapons and ammunition. >> students and then yesterday, the white house's national security spokesman responded, zain, does those contents will deeply disappointing and certainly vaccine the us given

the amount of the support that we have and will continue to provide. >> again, it was vexing and disappointing. does as as as much as it was incorrect that seeing and disappointing, there's read the word of that and then that moment. but he understood that is the other seven. so just before you weigh in, there's a new interview out this morning. my friend and colleague, former colleague jake sherman for punchbowl news, interviewing benjamin netanyahu himself. and he asked him, do you think biden is doing this? for domestic political considerations and netanyahu responds, he didn't know what was causing me said, but i'm aware that there has been a great slowdown in the provision of the important ammunition and weapons. i'm not talking about f35 or have 16 that are years down the line. i'm talking about what is necessary now to both win the war in gaza quickly and avoid a war in lebanon. in the absence of such a correction, risks of the rest of breaking out. our seems to be pretty high. leases concerned about that are increasing what's your reaction

to that? he's basically saying that the us is making it harder for israel to win yeah, my new, i think that first of all, amro kirby was very diplomatic. i would've said thanks for nothing. oh, this white house has been leaning into military support for israel since october 7, since prior to october 7. but in recent days, even push through the hill and f 15 transfer look, israel in terms of its military operation patients in gaza has more than enough ordinance. the problem in the slowdown from what the prime minister is talking about is that the israeli, some cells have decided to manage this in a manner where they are engaged aggressively, but they're also doing it in a manner that they are taking care. now, a civilian lives in rafah and i think that the prime minister, he needs to start looking internally and israel right now, he lost his unity coalition. you lost benny gantz from the war cabinet he does not have a plan for the day after, which is what the president white has been

calling for. and so now he's putting up false arguments about israel's military operations. israel trump needs the united states needs united states military backing. if this is the message that he has coming to congress in a month, he's going to lose democrats even further. and he needs to maintain this bipartisan support that's not what that statement did. yeah. >> mostly what he does when he speaks to congress like you are there the last time, this time we'll see if it's ten more tense or when the impacts of his comments he's talks to congress in july. all right. joe rogan back to join me. this one. really appreciate it wasn't emotional night in birmingham, alabama is major league baseball paid tribute to the leagues and the late willie mays carolyn mat out has more than this morning's blue to report good morning. monday, the first major league baseball game at rickwood field, the oldest professional ball park in the united states was made even more meaningful as it came just days after the passing of giants legend willie mays, who started his career. >> they're incredible scenes last night, the 114-year-old ballpark, the former home of the birmingham black barons of
