breaking news on donald trump's search for a running mate in which key allies are pushing for each of those three, right there also the hearing today that's casting yet more doubt on the job judge, running the trump classified documents, case two, former federal judges are here to weigh it and questions about boeing equipment delays two passengers only instead of stranding them at ceo pair well, they're stuck in orbit. >> john king here tonight in for anderson, we begin with the breaking news, namely who people close to the former president donald trump wants to see on the ticket with him three. names, each one being touted by a different trump faction two senators, and the governor of north dakota, cnn's alayna treene has more on who they are and what's playing out behind the seeds alaina, tell us, what are you learning? >> well luck as we inch closer to the republican national convention, john, that is the self-imposed deadline that donald trump has set for when he is going to announce his running mate you have an increasing number of people jockeying to be in trump's ears pushing their preferred candidate. and really, we're seeing this from every corner

of donald trump's orbit, from his family too. so what does media to his former adviser is all of them pitching different people to donald trump. and so, as you said, i've really been told from my conversations with trump's campaign that the list has narrowed to three people, marco rubio, jd vance, and doug burgum, and also that donald trump has actually taken on a much more serious and earnest approach to looking at this process, which is a departure from the past several months. but each of these men have different people pushing them. so i'm going to break it down for you, jd vance don junior, donald trump, son has long been a close friend of jd vance's. he's been very actively lobbying his father for him to be the running mate. he also has the support of steve bannon and tucker carlson. so a lot of the far-right. doug burgum has been getting the support of fox news corp mandate or excuse me, magnate rupert murdoch, he's been pushing him to different conservative, high-profile allies, but also, we've really

seen them get showered with some of favorable coverage from fox news score, like with the wall street journal, the new york post, and then burger or excuse me, rubio has actually been a favorite of the donor class at a dinner last month, immediately after donald trump's guilty verdict in his manhattan trial, donald trump was sitting with a group of dozen or so wall street figures and took a informal straw poll asking everyone, who do you like, who do you like, and the majority of people said marco rubio. now, rubio also has the support i'm told of kellyanne conway, as well as sean hannity so breaking they're a little bit with rupert murdoch, but it's interesting to really see all of these different people really having drastic differences and who they think should be really interesting list. also interestingly, different factions and sometimes the conflict, then those factions who else, who else will the form of prezi, he says he's going to make this decision at the convention. we'll see if he waits that long but who else is in his ear saying mr. trump, i think this is the one and y well, it's interesting because when you actually get down to it from when i talked to a lot of these

donors and mainly donald trump's advisers. they argue that sometimes when you are in donald trump's ear, it actually can turn them off more even though, like i said, donald trump, he loves to be on his patio at mar-a-lago all or at his club in bedminster and say, who do you like and try to feel the room for the most part, he sometimes can get turned off when people tried to push certain people on him and that's why actually, many of donald trump's closest advisers and the people actually working on his the campaign, people like susie wiles and chris lacivita, his campaign managers. they are very wary of weighing in. they are trying to let him make the decision. and here's a quote. i just found this to kind of sum it up perfectly from someone close to trump. they said, quote, susie has lasted this long because she provides information that will be helpful. and then let's trump make the decision. so you only other person i'm waiting to hear from who i actually think it's swam is melania trump, the first lady? whereas, out on that road, you come back that hadn't ventilated. >> don't go anywhere, stay with us. let's bring into the conversation bryan lanza, he

was deputy communications director on the 2016 trump campaign, also are cnn political commentators and democratic strategists maria cardona and jamal simmons, bryan, let me talk to you first because you've been in trump led so how does this work in the sense that elleithee just with through who he's listening to but does he really listened yeah. >> he likes to entertain them. he loves, he loves the engagement is like, what do you think? you ease the salesman so he makes you feel like you haven't a voice in the process. maybe there's a contribution that's going to come because you feel included. but at the end of the day, the president knows who he's going to pick. he's probably known that for a number of years at this point since he's been running, he's somebody who looks down field watches cable television, watch the audience, and usually does good. joyce and picking the people i talked to. i'm not going to say he's leading one particular way, but the insider group that i talked to in trump world, it's all how about jd vance? they think he's the most articulate to talk about maga. he's the one who came from these working class roots, which is a big part of the party now, our its shifting forward. and he's somebody who who rose from this working class groups, went on

to get an ivy league education and contributed back to the community. he won a swing ohio was a swing state when he was running. he wanted suburban neighborhoods, he wanted independence. i think there's a lot of value and i think there's some concern with marco rubio. i mean, this is a senator who's choked on a national stage twice. chris christie filleted him at the debate. we all saw it in 2000 then within 16 and then he got really thirsty with the state of the union speech. you can't make those mistakes on national stage. and ruby has shown the propensity to make those arizona national sorry i lana went through the list. brian just made the case there for jd vance comes out of mega, but if you're looking at this strategically, is that what trump needs someone who is omega echo maybe with a younger generation or or is it where, why not a woman on the ticket, he has a problem, sometimes had a gender gap in alaska or why not? what about what happened to senator tim scott and the professor efforts to try to reach into the black community, right? >> now. i don't think jd vance would get him something that he doesn't already have. and in fact, i think that there is a pop possibility i've heard from some in the trump camp, but, you know better that jd vance might actually outshine him

when it comes to mug audiences because he is so good on tv and he is very charismatic. and we all know that donald trump it doesn't want anybody out shining him. yeah, he would need somebody else, a woman latino. i don't think maga rubio would fit the bill an african american to get to the communities that he actually is lacking right now independent women, suburban women but right now, the three that you mentioned certainly do not fit that bill. but let's also remember, it could be somebody who's not even on that list, though i suspect that from a vetting standpoint, they would need to have done all the paperwork. >> but who knows? i think you're right. it's going to be whoever he feels that day whoever he wakes up with in terms of a whim. >> so jbeil simmons cup meant to the conversation in this context. normally we spent a lot of time on this when there's an open spot on a ticket because it is important without a doubt and you're getting into the convention. but then usually after the convention, the vp picks don't matter. people are voting for president very little evidence in history that people are voting for vp is this perhaps

the exception to the rule? because we have two older candidates for president and we know the trump campaign is going to make a big issue of vice president harris saying a vote for biden is a vote for harris. does trump's pick matter more? >> his pick matters in the way it always matters, right? and which is that the vice presidential pick is the first real act of a president to show us what his judgment is here. the problem with donald trump, we saw donald trump's judgment for four years when he was president the united states ended my turn out so well we saw him in the we pick a president, particularly not just for the economy or where they stand on choice, or when these things, although people care a lot about those things but we pick them particularly in moments of crisis and what will the president do when there's a moment of crisis that we all have to just turn to him and say, or her and say, lita really need to know anymore about donald trump's judgment. and i don't think any of these candidates really

helped trump in terms of demographics or geography, or any of the things that like al gore or joe biden helped barack obama worth in terms of substantive effort. but they joe biden was able to bring foreign policy and institutional knowledge to the obama ticket. so we don't really have any of those help, help interesting points. >> another big political is i want to talk about propranolol. go back to your point. you just made a lot of people, especially his critics, things trump it's reflexive. trump is impulsive in picking mike pence, trouble is actually strategic. ted cruz was trying to challenge him at the convention. other forces were trying to its convention. so they picked a middle of the country christian conservative that had supported across the republican base. and it's shut that down. it was a very strategic choice. what's the strategic choice at this time? >> the strategic choices to get the election focus on inflation in the economy and immigration, jd hits those points, jds working class roots can talk about how inflation has devastated the working class community, has devastated the suburban communities, has devastated suburbia. and so you're going to have, if you're looking to highlight

somebody who appeals or that group that republicans have never really had in the past, it would be jd vance. >> i think he's for jd vance alaimo, another big piece of news today. and again, i'm often of the opinion that i'll fundraising stories don't matter. but but joe biden for months has had a huge advantage over donald trump. suddenly, since the conviction, donald trump sometimes defies gravity, right? bad news becomes good news huge fundraising walk us through the numbers and what they mean. >> yes, absolutely huge. and honestly, i mean you're right. joe biden has been out raising donald trump for months now, and really we're starting to see the trump campaign and his political operation begin to erase that cash advantage. so this was a second month in a row. may was the second month that around i should say that donald trump's team raised more than what joe biden brought in in may. donald trump's team brought in 141 million. that's compared to the 85 million that biden's campaign brought and 85 million is not a small number, but compared to 141 million, definitely lagging behind and

tens of millions of dollars of that 141 million number was raised in the aftermath of his guilty verdict. and so there's been a huge boost and boon for donald trump's campaign. and really, i mean, we've also seen donald trump go to many of these fundraisers with wealthy donors, really focus on aggressively trying to catch up to biden's war chest. and it seems that it's paying off a week from tonight. >> the conversation will not be about fundraising numbers that will be about the first president so natural debate which will be right here a week from yesterday, thursday night on cnn. so jamal to you first, you're not in the studio, so you get you get you go first year as you look at this debate, what do you think is the single biggest imperative for president biden? >> oh, he clearly has to show people again why we picked him in the first place, which is that he does have the judgment to be present and he's somebody who's focused on what the american people need and not just the past and what he's done in the last four years with incredible amounts of legislation. but what he wants to do next and how he's going to make the country better going forward. and then

contrast that with donald trump, who again, we saw his judgement in 2020. it wasn't that great. he prolonged covid and made it worse while, while joe biden was able to get us out of the funk, we were in and covid and start the country back on a path maria, what is the biggest weakness the president has to deal with? is it concerns about the cost of living? is it questions about his age? is it something else? >> i think that the president has got to be ready and i know that they are making sure that he is for donald trump to come after him about hunter biden. >> and we know that that is something that is so personal to president biden. >> and i think that trump is going to do it to try to get him off his game, to get the president off his game. but yes, i agree that he actually has to come prepared and now he is for that too. talk about the economy, inflation numbers have actually been good recently. wages have been up, and those inflationary pressures are coming down. economists have said that donald trump's plans would actually explode

inflation and lose jobs. so i think that's a great contrast to make, especially for years ago, this economy was in a tailspin and that i think is a great contrast for presented by mhc, the protest vote for nikki haley and then late primaries. and i have it out the road, tuck into a lot of these odors these are republicans who they say they have doubts about donald trump. lot of the voter form in 2016, then voted biden or third-party in 2020, there republican dna says, i'd like to vote for him again, but they've raised temperament questions. they raise january 6 questions. what is trump's weakness? if you're looking at the trump coalition of what he needs to win what does he need to do in the debate? who is he talking to most was i think the biggest thing he used to do is talk to you all of the voters he needs to say, i have a right record. us president joe biden has a record as president. let's compare them month by month. >> you know, you talked about inflation, joe biden, his own team has picked a target of inflation of 2%. >> he failed to hit that number number for 38 months. so for 38 months, the number one concern to the american people has been inflation. and joe biden has fallen short of that. gold has a goose egg. so i think when you're taught, when tresind trucks talking to the public,

he needs to talk about the economy. he needs a taco inflation, he needs different patients will be relatable. it needs to remind people that even though joe biden had a target to bring inflation 2%, he has failed for 38 months. >> i would glove for that for you guys to come and compare month to month with joe biden's economy versus donald trump's economy. those four years. oh, my god. biden would eviscerate donald trump i would love i would love for them to debate the issue and i know that's what all the voters out there, i've been talking to the road would like debate the issue is not get into all the personal stuff, but we shall see alayna treene, bryan lanza react cardona jamal centers. appreciate your time. and i thank you. up next details on another most unusual de in the trunk, classified documents case and more questions. yes about the judge's judgment also trump's already been convicted, so why do prosecutors in new york want the former president's gag order to continue the dangerous they cited? that's ahead on 360 was that trouble losing weight and keeping same, discover the power of week-old

classified documents case. the question today, one of them, whether special counsel jack smith's should even be special counsel, that too is unusual, cnn's evan perez joins us now outside the courthouse in fort pierce, florida. evan walk us through exactly what happened in court for today yeah, john looking with a very odd de the factor even had this hearing is unusual. >> there is lot of defendants, including hunter biden who have tried to challenge the legality of a special counsel. they've all failed in the case of hundred biden. he got rejected by judges in california and in wilmington. but donald trump, he has judged aileen cannon who decided that she wanted to hold a hearing today, and the argument by the trump lawyers was that jack smith was not appointed legally by the attorney general, merrick garland. and therefore, these charges should go away. >> now the judge spend about four hours hearing not only from trump lawyers and from the special counsel, but also from these third parties outside groups on the left and on the right, who wanted to weigh in

on this, on this big question now the judge ditch have some skepticism about some of the trump arguments when trump lawyer emil bove said that jack smith was essentially a shadow government. >> she called it ominous and kinda pushed back a little bit. but she also asked the special counsel to explain whether there were any specific actions done by the special counsel that were approved by merrick garland personally, the special counsel declined to get into any specific strong. >> now, today, evan, the first of three days of scheduled pretrial hearings on various motions made by the former president's legal team. what comes next? we're back in court monday, right? >> right. we're back we're back here on monday and on tuesday on monday, we're going to have a hearing about a gag order, which the special counsel has requests against the former president. you know? he's made some very incendiary remarks about the 2022 search of mar-a-lago. comments that the special counsel says are endangering the lives of some of the fbi agents who carried out that search on tuesday. the

trump team is back here arguing for something but that evidence that was seized at mar-a-lago for some of that to be tossed. now, today, the judge, of course, did not rule from the bench. she almost never does. and so we expect that the same thing will happen on monday and tuesday. those hearings we expect to take all day journal day. >> evan perez, thanks for that important reporting and perspective. let's get more perspective now and just how much of an outlier judge cannon is or isn't we're joined now by two former federal judges, johnny jones, the third, who served as the chief judge for pennsylvania's middle district in shira scheindlin, formerly of new york's southern district, also with us former federal prosecutor, at least adamson, a judge can lead to you first critics of judge cannon say she's either in over her head, two inexperienced or that because trump appointed her to the bench somehow in the tank for trump. do you share one of those views? is it possible? well, she's just different i don't think she's in the tank for trump. >> i think that's pretty extreme and there's no reason to think that however, i have i

have said before that she has. does not have as much experience as many judges do. she was an assistant us attorney. she mostly did appeals. i understand. she was not much of a trial lawyer and she hasn't had many criminal trials yet as a judge. so i think this is still unclear familiar territory to her and she doesn't feel comfortable ruling from the bench, which most of us would have done by now and have moved this along. >> judge jones, one of the things i know jumps out to you as that she's having free trial hearings on a lot of legal questions that many professionals, many, many, many professional thank are rather routine. and normally the procedure is the two sides or however many sides submit their briefs, the judge looks at the law and then so when you see a hearing hearing today with more hearings next week, anything changing your view, you think she's wasting time, is that the right way to put it? >> i think she is john and i would never have had an argument day for this. there was no testimony taken. it was really an opportunity for the

lawyers to come in and there were some strange things about this that you don't typically see in the judging business. notable was that she allowed friends of the court court to come in and argue, you can let them in. you can let them intervene and then just take their briefs, let him file their briefs and decide the case on the briefs. i have no idea why she spent three hours listening to the same reconstituted arguments that apparently that were made in other cases involving the special counsel. i just wouldn't do that and it just looks like a time sink that was absolutely necessary. and that seems to be a whole mark of the way that she's doing business in this case. she's judging defensively john where i think she's afraid to make a mistake and when you you judge that way, you over-complicate things case like this is to unravel

it, set a trial date and restore some order to it, and she's done anything about that? >> and so at least weigh in to the point the judge just made. if you're a defense attorney and your strategy and we know trump strategy in all these cases is delay, delay, delay, delay, delay and you have a judge that's willing to grant the hearing on just about any motion, i assume you're gonna get through tuesday and file some more rice yeah. >> i think that's right. i was federal prosecutor for over seven years, but i am a defense attorney now. and pretrial litigation is something that defense attorneys do. and we're duty bound to do that. we have to make these arguments for our clients and advance them. now, most of the time, argument is not granted. we have the judges have just indicated judges more. they rule from the bench and they decide these things on the papers. >> to make the case's move along more efficiently. >> but yes, i think the answer is yes. if i knew a judge was going to grant a hearing and my strategy was delay for whatever

reason, you better believe i would continue to add to file all of these motions and i would be thinking about the next one to file as soon as she finished his ruling on this group judge headland, she's a district court judge. the case law at the occluding the dc circuit court of appeals pretty deep about the authority of the special counsel. but what if she agrees with the trump defense team and rules that jack smith does not have authority that there was no right to appoint him. what happens in the case technically goes away, but right? >> but of course it will be immediately appealed by jack smith to the 11th circuit immediately. and this time, i think if the 11th circuit takes the view that she was way off base, i think that either jack smith will ask for her to be replaced or the court could even do it sue a sponsor, which means on their own but because three strikes and you're out, they may they may have had enough and it's say enough is enough. so there's a real risk there, but i do think that i

disagree that it was really wrong to have the hearing. this is a serious case. it does involve the former president and a presidential candidate and she had lots of questions. she was well-prepared today. she had lots of questions for both sides. and there's a slight difference in this case, which is that this special prosecutor, jack smith has never been confirmed by congress. he is not a us attorney as the previous special counsel in the hunter biden case was. so they've got a slight factual difference and they've got a slight hook to argue this is different. so the real argument here is being what kind of officer are you the primary officer or are you at the inferior officer? and if you're an inferior officers, which they're arguing, then you're supervised and you don't need to be confirmed by congress. so is this is jack smith's supervised or not and it's kind of an interesting question that's why she asked has merrick garland reviewed this indictment? did he get involved with it because if

he's not supervised, then he's a primary officer. and there should have been a confirmation hearing that shows weigh in on those points. i want to hear your view as well, and then also, when you're presiding judge of such a complicated case has never been the case. this important former president did some of the issues at hand here, but when you're aware of the outside criticism, if you were her or how would you get back on track if you will, you've maybe you think this has taken too long. maybe you think she said to proceedings, but that's show that you're thoughtful issue your rulings and then and what well, i understand my colleagues point and just to speak to that for a second. that's certainly a valid position to take to hear argument. but honestly the supreme court of the united states wouldn't allow that much argument. i just don't understand why you had to set aside a whole day for arguments. there may be some issues that you wanted to delve than too, but i mean, move it along i just don't get the point why it was so tortuously

long in terms of what you can do to get it on track. to the point about filing motions and then triggering hearings and argument. the fact that matters, she can set deadlines in the case and she needs to do that. i don't see that she has she can have a motion cut off date where absent exigent circumstances, she said that's it. that's what happens when you, as my colleague knows, when you don't set a trial date the attorneys minds are not focused. the case is going to be in drift and it's going to continue adrift shows one thing principal officers, what i meant, not primary got it. >> got it jones, judge shall and elise adams. so we'll continue this conversation. a lot of fast. any questions? thank you all very much. up next the manhattan da wants the former president's gag order to continue and is now laying out a flood of threats. he and his office have received since winning a conviction on 34 felony counts target of similar threats. andrew mackay joins us can the riva support your brain

today asked judge juan marsha, want to keep an effect much of the gag order he had imposed on donald trump. one reason they say dozens of threats against district attorney alvin bragg, his family and his staff during the hush money trial, and since the former president's conviction on those 34 felony counts, and this is only part we've seen this throughout the years from a larger threat picture, which includes the former president and his supporters attacking the criminal justice system, attacking the court's attacking individuals and promising sometimes it campaign of revenge, retribution against trump opponents. last night, anderson right here talked about the danger it poses with someone who has sadly been on the receiving end. first of then president trump and now kennedy trump, the former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe have the person who aspires to the highest seat, the highest role is job in the land. >> to start picking out people like me or anyone else in targeting them for revenge, unleashing the rage of their supporters in, however, that's

played out it's, it's outrageous. and it's just heartbreaking that that's where we are as a nation andrew mccabe will join us shortly first though. let's get more on what alvin bragg's prosecutors are specifically asking for and why from cnn's kara scannell. kara tell us more about this filing today. >> so prosecutors are saying that most of this gag order should continue to stay in place because they say trump is already free to criticize the case, to criticize district attorney alvin bragg, and to criticize the judge juan merchan, which trump has done throughout this trial. but they say that the relevant question is not whether the orders prevent defendant from speaking freely about this case. they never have, but instead, whether there is reason to preserve the orders narrowly tailored protections on specific participants in this criminal proceeding. and they said that it is still needed to protect the juries in this case and also to protect the staff prosecutors, the court staff and their family members because of the number threats that they have received that

the district attorney's offices saying that is no longer needed to have a gag order on trump about the witnesses, michael cohen, stormy daniel's because they already testified and their work is done, but they do say that if donald trump does cross the line into illegality about harassment, that they could also bring criminal charges there. john to get the judge to continue much of the gag or they have to back it up. is the filing detail the type of threats we're talking about here? >> yeah, it does. i mean, it says that since april that there has been a spike in threats and that is when this trial began on april 15th, that very day, according to prosecutors, they were bomb threats at the homes of two people that are working on the case hey, say also said that there was a threatening post of that disclose the home address of someone also at the da's office and there was another opposed that put this sniper sites over images of some of the prosecutors working on the team. and they also said that there have been death threats against the district attorney, his family, and some members of the team. and according to the prosecution some of these threats said we will kill you

all. your life is done. now, this decision will ultimately lie with the judge be interesting to see if he does lift this gag order before the sentencing, but prosecutors are saying they even wanted to stay in place to protect the staff through the appeal. john to the appeal, kara scannell. thank you for that important reporting joining us now to discuss andrew mccabe, he's currently are senior law enforcement analysts also with us the retired new york city judge george grosso, andy, let me start with you. so it's not a leave it all in place. david partially in place. you heard qarrah lay it out. sound reasonable it does sound reasonable. >> and i think what the da is trying to accomplish here is absolutely a laudable goal. and to be clear, john donald trump creates risk and danger for people because of the rhetoric that he chooses to use and the behavior he engages in full stop. there is no doubt about that but but honestly, the da

is in a tough spot here. because even though what he's asking for is reasonable, it is actually limited. there's a limited time horizon, there's a limited amount of restrictions on speech that you can impose upon people, particularly when the original reason for doing so was to protect the criminal justice process, right? to protect a witnesses and the jurors who were involved in this trial. and then more broadly, the people in the prosecutor's office and of course, their families who are caught up in it by virtue of the jobs that they do that process, is? coming to an end. it's essentially over for for judge merchan when the sentencing takes place. >> so the da's kind of footing to make these arguments is shrinking by the day and meanwhile, the damage, the potential damage of the danger that donald trump creates for these people? >> people goes on judge basso, a former president in court, is unique. >> have you ever seen maybe

it's a mob trial, maybe it's gangs, threats of this scope and scale and specificity before this is extraordinary so i was a judge for almost 13 years and the new york city criminal courts before that, i was nypd for over 30 years. >> so i remember, for example, the john gadi multiple john gadi prosecutions john gady didn't do the types of things that donald trump has been doing to use the so-called bully pulpit of the trial to constantly attack prosecutors families of prosecutors, judges, families of judge's court staff and is andrew mccabe was just saying and by the way, i saw him last night with anderson cooper i think he's a great american and what he's going through, no american should have to go through. so here we have a judge michigan in this scenario where he has to maintain an orderly court process so i certainly think and i think that bragg de bragg made the

right move when he excluded the witnesses from this gag over time because their job is basically done but the but the court staff still has a job to do as we go into sentencing. the da and the da's can't the assistant district attorneys, if they're constantly worrying about their families because donald trump is not stupid with it. stuff he might not be actually articulating a threat on these individuals himself. but when he vociferous attacks them and blames him for wrongfully prosecuting him. and he goes after specific individuals he knows what through truth, social, and millions of people, he has outreach to. he knows exactly what's going to happen. it's predictable. so i think this gag order, if i was the presiding judge, i would leave the gag order in place. until the de of sentencing, which is now scheduled for january for july 11. if it were to go past sentencing with a go past july

11, i would keep the gag. order in place until we did sentencing, but i do believe i agree that the footprint is getting smaller and to think that we could keep a gag order in place through an appeal process that could go on for potentially years. i think that would be an overreach, so that's where i am on this and why and so andrew a little more context. >> the prosecution's filing says the nypd has logged 56 actionable threats. that's the case. both actionable threats against de a bragg is family as an employee sincerely able to explain to the layman who might understand that means it's not just urine idiot. you're a moron or there'll be paid back. what is actionable threat mean? >> these are threats that are clear indicators of an intent to commit violence and predominantly by people who you can identify and potentially even locate. that's what makes them actionable if they have 50, 60 of those, they've got ten times as many unanswered actionable threat. so

harassing, emails, phone calls, letters, things like that, that just don't have enough meat on the bone to be able to take action from the law enforcement side. but john, that's the direction they need to start looking because this judge said, you can't you're not going to get this gag order forever at some point, they need to start looking at these actions as crimes and treating them edinburgh cave, judge grass. so again, the conversation to be continued as the case moves forward. thank you for coming in tonight and coming up for us details on the extreme heat that has now taken hundreds let's of lives during the hajj pilgrimage to mecca. and why authorities fear the final death toll may climb much higher. plus the astronauts stuck in space by their boeing spacecraft. >> that craft is acting up. the details next new icy hot pro massaging bone, easier to grip the massage and the power of two max strength pain relievers. >> i just works fast jeep makes it less new. >> i see how pro massaging boehm how an excellent warren

full-blown war with hezbollah. cnn's mj lee joins me now with more mj, walk us through this message and why did it happen? how strong is the commitment yeah john, we know that there was a senior israeli delegation in washington this week meeting with their american counterparts. >> and in a series of meetings, they discussed a whole lot of different things. like hezbollah, like iran, like the ceasefire negotiations and what i'm told by one senior official is that in those discussions, us officials assured there israeli counterparts this week that as a full out war, war to break out between israel and hezbollah, that the us is prepared to fully offer the assistance that it can although us troops would not be on the ground in that scenario, the timing of that expression of support is really interesting, giving that it comes on the heels of prime minister netanyahu of israel creating some controversy by saying in a video that the u.s. was withholding support from israel

prompting a lot of back and forth between israeli and us officials and adding to the tension that had already been growing between the two countries. but this was clearly a scenario be aware, the u.s. was telling israel that when it comes to the security of israel it is going to have the u.s. support walked through the sourcing. >> is there her sense that this is likely or possible full-blown war between israel and hezbollah and are there any options for de-escalation on the table? >> yeah. you know, we can't underscore enough how much? this is a scenario that the us wants to avoid. they don't want another war to be breaking out in the middle east since october 7. we've really seen u.s. officials repeated heatedly saying they want containment, they want de-escalation. they don't want another front to open up. and what has already been such a volatile situation. >> but at this moment i do think the administration as at least bracing for the very real possibility of this scenario full blown out war between israel and hezbollah and we've

seen in recent weeks that for tat, the cross-border attacks really escalating between israel and hezbollah. >> and i think this is just clearly one more reason. why us officials would very much like to see that ceasefire deal get agreed to jaylene important reporting. >> thank you so much for joining us tonight now, to the heat wave that's been gripping much of this country looks like it will stick around this weekend more than 100 million americans, yes, 100 billion americans now under heat alerts and overseas far worse in saudi arabia, nearly 500 people are confirmed dead due to extreme heat during the hajj pilgrimage to mecca, the actual death toll expected to rise much, much higher today, mega experienced the hottest day on record, reaching 125 degrees fahrenheit more now from cnn, scott mclean the stoning of the devil, one of the key rituals of the hajj pilgrimage. >> it's a symbolic rejection of evil but with temperatures unusually high, even for this

mattresses laid affordable i'm zachary cohen and washington and this is cnn the trip back to earth for two nasa astronauts has been delayed twice. the crew on boeing starliner spacecraft were set to take a round-trip journey to the international space station was supposed to last one about a week, but due to technical

issues with the starliner, their stay in space has been extended. 360 is gary tuckman as the story the launch from florida was picture perfect style on a row the starliner spacecraft, manufactured by boeing a test flight. >> on its way to the international space station successfully docking with the iss just over two weeks ago. and the two astronauts on board the starliner, which wilmore and sunny williams. >> so here we are in the front of the international space station. where our spacecraft docked but even before they dock with the space station, and as they gave this tour of the starliner, they knew the tripling wasn't going to be exactly putin. >> let's go forward into starliner where there was a little bit of action the other day, the action involved spacecraft issues specifically helium leaks and thruster problems i didn't have to lay the two astronauts returned to earth. >> bottom line is the helium

leaks are about pretty small nasa savers as they can tolerate about 100 times. what's currently leaking had five thrusters fail on the way to the station four of them have been reactivated. one remains disabled shouldn't keep them from coming home safely. >> but it has kept them from returning as scheduled to return date has not been adjusted twice bullets for astronauts williams and wilmore to return home on june 26. stain in space, almost an extra two weeks as the problems continued to be worked on nasa declaring week we're taking a little bit of extra time to work through what we've seen and make sure we have all the plans in place to bring the crew home in an a nominal situation for the admission. so we're just taking a little more your time to review all the data. and also learn as much as we can while we have the service module in orbit despite the problems, the atmosphere on board with all the space station astronauts has been nothing less than jovial congratulations to all

the nasa and boeing teams on this incredible milestone. butch and sunny, the iss ithrile you back on iss. >> this is boeing's first docking with the iss after numerous issues and cost overruns, which have led to corporate embarrassment and uncertainty and now there is more of that as engineers on the ground are working to learn more about these problems that have plagued the journey despite the issues that surround the starliner, the two astronauts appear to be taking it all in stride. >> i'm not sure we could have gotten a better welcome we had music, we had pojo. >> matt was dancing let's great. >> and if all goes as planned, there'll be back on earth next week gallery tuckman, cna, new york let's get more perspective now from r-cnn aerospace analyst miles o'brien. >> miles big picture for safety crisis, massive inconvenience, both i wouldn't say safety crisis. i would say this john, the hardware, which they are

concerned about where all the problems is r, i should say, will be jettisoned and burned up and not returned to earth. and so the engineers can only troubleshoot it while it's in space. and so want to understand what's going on. why are there all these leaks? why are these thrusters going offline as it were? >> and it's the only way they can test it is while they're still at the international space station until they get those answers, are they going to try to get those answers? >> they'll keep them up there. there's no imminent concern for their well-being. of course. >> but that was the next question. so they were supposed to stay awake. they're staying longer. we'll see how long that is, what is being stuck up on the space station look like? what about the contingency plans i just heard now they're delayed a third type lots of time to look out the window. they have plenty of food, they've actually employed them to work on some of the research projects and they seem to be having a good time. you look at those peers of sunny williams in space and it can't help but

smile but having said all that, this is a star cross spacecraft they'd had leaks before it launched. it was delayed for many years. boeing has taken about $1,000,000,000.5 a hit on it. and it's yet another black eye for this once proud aerospace giant you were saying at the start of the conversation, they want to run all this through because this is the only time you can study it while it's up there. not ever come through the burn, coming back down. if nasa is using the term indefinite now indefinite now, what does that tell you? is that just again, being extra safe or is that well, they're having a hard time figuring this out. >> they don't want to be pinned down. they're going to take these, they have like every four days, they have an opportunity to land it and we should point out there are other ways for them to get home is something really bad happened with this spacecraft. but right now, there's plenty of margin for the helium that they need and the thrusters seemed to be working. they just want i've figure out why they're having so many troubles with this spacecraft
