we begin this hour with breaking news. >> any moment now, president biden is set to arrive in a battleground state of wisconsin for a campaign rally. then just a few hours later, we'll hear from the president and his first television interview since last week's disastrous debate performance. it's a critical moment for the president as he faces growing calls to quit the race. after his poor debate performance lead to serious questions about his ability to lead for another four years. let's go now, lived in madison, wisconsin with cnn's arlette saenz and our lead, this obviously could be a maker break moment for the white house. how high are the stakes right now well bores, this could be one of the most critical periods of president biden's entire political career as he is facing some calls within his own party

about him potentially stepping aside in this 2024 race, the president has ignited college privately to allies at this is a critical period of time these coming days, as he's looking to convince american voters that he is up for a second term, but also really tried to tamp down those serious doubts that have emerged from top democrats and donors about him remaining at the top of the democratic ticket or the president will be arriving shortly here in madison in wisconsin. >> a key battleground state. and as he made his way over here, he again insisted that he believes that he can beat donald trump in november, the president has said that there are no plans for him to step aside in this race, even as there are some calls within his party to do so. now, the president will be speaking here at an event in madison and we'll also be sitting down for a high-stakes interview with abc news. this interview likely to be very different from interviews biden has faced in the past as the key focus of this will likely be his viability of a candidate. and since we spoke last hour, i took some time taking the

temperature of voters who are here for this event and really it has been a mixed response. there are some voters who said that they are seen by the president. they want him to see out this race. but there are others who have concerns following that debate performance and what it could mean for the democratic ticket in november, i want to play you a bit of sound from one of the voters i spoke to in just the last hour my thought process after the debate, it was it was hard to watch just as everybody is everybody went through and i think i've made a lot of the same excuses. everybody else did. he's had a busy schedule. there's a lot on his mind but my immediate response is, he's done such a good job, but we also need a democrat and power for the next the next four years. and if the american people are feeling nervous then that makes me a little bit nervous to some of the motors i talked to said that they want to see how the president performs at this event. and

also that interview a little bit later today as so much of his political future is currently on the line following that debate. and as salmon party have expressed skepticism about him remaining in the 2024 race and our lead as part of the fallout over the debate, the campaign team has vowed to have a more aggressive campaigns schedule and to prepare for more off the cuff moments between the president and supporters and voters. >> what can you tell us about this new strategy? >> the biden campaign is really laying out how they see the month of june, july playing out. they've said that the president, first lady, vice president harris, and second gentleman will hit all of the battleground states through the month of july that starts with biden beat here in wisconsin. he's also set to travel to pennsylvania on sunday and then a bit later in the month as the republican national convention plays out, he will be traveling to nevada to try to speak directly to black and latino communities. the campaign is

also outlining a $50 million advertising blitz on television and digital to try to get their message across to voters. they've also said that they are we're hoping the president will engage in more off the cuff moments pointing to that stop that he made at an atlanta waffle house after the debate as an example, the types of things the president can do going forward. now the president has heard a lot of incoming from his democratic allies who believed that he does need to have these more on impromptu, unscripted moments, sit down for curious interviews in order to show the american people that he is up for the job. the campaign is hoping that president could really start to do that and take his message to the voters over the course of july orlan signs from madison wisconsin, and we're still awaiting the president's arrival. we know keep us on top of the latest details or let thanks so much, pam. >> new today's cnn's chief medical correspondent, and practicing neurosurgeon, dr. sanjay gupta, writing about what he calls quote concerning behavior from president joe biden at last week's presidential we'll debate and

he is now urging the president to undergo cognitive testing and to share those results with the american people. dr. sanjay gupta joins us now, sanjay, what was your reaction to the debate and what has transpired over the last week? >> yeah. i think it was concerning. i mean, there were some things, some signs that you'd see. i think for anybody that we're concerned, but certainly as someone who specializes and brain medicine that it was there was a little bit more than that as well. i think many of these things weren't necessarily new pamela, but i think it was that they were so pronounced and so sustained throughout that debate that really made it a higher concern. i will say that the real question is, are these sort of intermittent episodes? or are those signs reflective of something that is a deeper, more concerning condition? we don't know. and that's why the testing i think is so critically important. not to

mention that if you get the testing, there are things that can be done about it as well. earlier testing means earlier potential treatment if it's necessary. some of the things in particular that we noticed and by the way, many doctors from around frankly the world i was out of out of the country last week. many doctors around the world were calling me, telling me their observations as well. people who specialize in neurology or neurosurgery, even halting speech, sort of losing your train of thought confusion leading to rambling at times. and also, what we call in the neuro world masked facies really expressionless. you seem to lose facial animation. those are some of the things in and of themselves. again, they may mean nothing in aggregate. they might mean something. the only way to really know would be to do that testing. if you're my patient pam, if you were my father, i would urge that testing again with the idea

that there is something that can be done about it's not testing just for testing sake but then to actually take action depending on what the testing shows the white house for its part, just clarified that a meeting the president had with his doctor after the debate saying he had this meeting as a check-in, this sort of how of the white house is describing at the press secretary saying, quote, the president did have a short verbal check-in and the recent days about his cold, it wasn't a medical exam or physical. >> it was a conversation and his doctor didn't think an examination was necessary. so that would mean the president's last full medical exam is about four months ago what first of all, what did you think though about what we heard from the press secretary and the fact that his four months has gone by since his last full exam well, there was a couple of things that we learned. >> first of all, dr. o'connor, i believe is the same doctor that you're referring to here apparently thought there was no cause for concern after

watching the debate, but then there was this check-in because of the cold like symptoms. not not a physical exam. i don't think that necessarily means much a true physical a true evaluation that would mean something, but i think you're right. it was really four months ago where there was a more complete evaluation and it sounded extensive, 20 plus medical specialists, including a neurologist, saw president biden at that point there was no mention of a cognitive exam. and when the white house was asked about that, they said the doctors didn't think there was a need for one that he does his job and that's enough of a cognitive exam. what they did say were things that they had ruled out of concern there was no concern for stroke. there there's no concern for multiple sclerosis, for example, or parkinson's disease, which is notable because parkinson's diseases, the most common cause of parkinsonism but it's not the only cause. and some of those other causes were not really addressed in that medical report. it was a six page

summary. pam and new and i've been doing this job for a long time. that's typically what you get from presidents and from candidates. the only person that's ever given me their complete medical records over 23 years, i've been doing this with senator mccain, who at that time was the oldest candidate for president. but most, most simply don't share these records so when you talk about a cognitive exam, can you just walk us through what exactly that means yeah. >> it's pretty extensive. we heard about the exam, sort of the screening test, if you will, that president trump had former president trump, he had this test called the moca, the montreal cognitive assessment and i think we may have an image of it, but basically it's everything from drawing a three-dimensional cube, drawing a clock and identifying animals, remembering words. it takes place over 1010 or 15 minutes or so. it's pretty quick, but it's just a screening test and a pretty blunt one. the more detailed cognitive testing, which by the way, i went through when i was making this recent documentary, just to demonstrate what it

involves, it's all sorts of things that your blood work, but it's also things like your bone density, your genetic risk factors. is their smell tests. and there's lots of cognitive, cognitive tests. how many words can you recite, starting with the letter t in the next 60 seconds, go. how many animals can you name in the next? 60 seconds go? things like that really trying to get a sense of someone's processing speed, their judgment. and also their memory so it's, it's pretty involved to really do this. you spend time with the family because family members are often the first to notice if there's anything that seems a little off and you do a very detailed physical exam so there's a lot that goes into really assessing somebody for cognition, but also for potential movement disorders. parkinson, parkinson ism, as i was mentioning earlier all right. >> dr. sanjay gupta. thank you so much. great to see you for us. >> let's discuss with congressman jerry conley. he's a democrat representing virginia. congressman. welcome. thanks so much for sharing part

of your friday afternoon with us. do you think that president biden still gives your party the best shot to win in november i don't think we know that yet i think everybody is waiting for the dust to settle from the aftermath of the debate. and i think this next week is going to be critical tonight. he has the interview with george stephanopoulos for the weekend he's got some travel to the midwest where he's going to be unscripted and at public rallies. next week we have the 75th anniversary of nato. and world leaders. i've got to be coming to washington four major summit, which will be hosted by president biden. he's also skilled adult a press conference during that summit so i think the next week is going to be very telling as to how we deal with and how we categorize what happened at that debate bad night really

bad night, but not characteristic of this president or as behavioral nor does it necessarily hello, defined how he goes about his job. and we'll go about his job or not so i think i don't think we have the whole month of july. i think this next week is going to be very consequential in hopefully putting to rest or not the questions that have arisen since the debate. >> what specifically, congressman, do you think he needs to show your colleagues and voters who are calling for him to pass the baton i think he has to show mental acuity, mental alertness, humor spontaneity. >> the fact that he can speak extemporaneously without a teleprompter or acute cards. the fact that it can interact with the public and various settings in an expressive way

that puts to rest the doubts that have been raised. if he can't do that, then i think we are looking at some some very hard a judgements and hard choices we're going to have to face as a party what we can't do. is risk losing the white house to donald trump. he has a direct threat to our constitutional democracy. he gets no scrutiny during this period of examination of joe biden i scrutiny. he richly deserves his rants are demented and manic and very troublesome in terms of what he has planned for the future. should he get back into the oval office and we need to be spending time focusing on that right now. we're not when you say we spent a lot of time focusing on that, do do you mean democrats? do you mean the media? just to be clear i need both very

little attention has been paid to what donald trump has been saying and doing very little attention got paid to his performance in the debate and democrats are spending all of their time talking about what happened in that debate with respect to our nominee perspective nominee. >> and not talking about donald trump. so we've got to change this conversation but part of changing that conversation is a comprehensive assessment of where we are with our perspective nominee and if we can resolve those doubts. great. let's move on. and when the election i do want to ask him congressmen about those hard choices that you alluded to a moment ago, but but first, we did just hear from dr. sanjay gupta, who is world renowned, neurosurgeon, someone who is well-respected he among others, believed the president should undergo extensive testing and then share the results in a transparent fashion how much do you think that could help the president regain some of the confidence

of your colleagues? that's really it decision for the president to make i'm not an overall adjust. i'm not equipped to make those kinds of judgments. i understand dr. gupta observing the debate and talking with colleagues, raised issues that seemed to fit the behavior that they witnessed but, at the end of the day president biden has to make this decision. he's got 3,900 delegates pledge to him. we've got a convention in late august, and these decisions are going to have to be made quickly and resolved quickly. so we can move on with winning this election congressman, i'm wondering given that you called them the white house earlier this week to have a quote family therapy session, whether you you'd heard from whitehouse or campaign officials or even directly from the president himself no, i

have not. >> i see is that something that you would want for there to be more sort of coordination among members of your party. and in terms of messaging, how do you feel about how the campaign is responded to this crisis? >> i think that the white house staff get protective of the principal that is natural. and very human and i respect that this isn't about reaching out to me. this is about respecting the role of congress and trying to quell action on doubts members by resolving those doubts, we've already seen a drip, drip of support in the house and what i have warned about is that if you don't deal with that by reaching out to rank and file members of the

house democratic members of the house, you risk people feeling they're on their own to make this decision. and you're going to have 213 silos making decisions based on their perceptions of which may or may not be accurate. so it at the end of the day it really behooves the white house to make a more aggressive outreach with respect to members of congress and other stakeholders understanding that the risk is you're going to hear things you don't want to hear. but that family dialogue is a lot better than circling the wagons and circulating campaign talking points that aren't really going to resolve this issue. the way we want to quickly, congressman, if president biden decides to relinquish the nomination, would you support vice president kamala harris at the top of the ticket in november i think first of all, i i really prefer not to

contemplate that that's scenario, but we're that to happen obviously, kamala harris for the democratic party would be next in line and would be given a grid hey, deal of difference, including by me as we would consider those options, time there's going to be a factor kamala harris has been joe biden's partner for the last four years as vice president. >> he's done a great job. i think she's kinda come into her own in the last year or so. i in in a very productive the way i think she's got a lot of goodwill reserve for her among record, fall democrats, including at the convention in august and should be a great candidate in the eventuality we need to find another candidate i'm not giving up in job biden i think he has earned enormous respect for an extraordinary four years as president and frankly help save this country

from what we're going through, both in the pandemic and the trump madness. and now we have to make sure that we don't return to that congressman gerry connolly. we appreciate the time and candor. thanks so much, sir thank you. of course. we have live pictures now of air force one arriving in madison, wisconsin, president biden, so to speak, at a rally in this battleground state as he tries to reassure voters that he can handle another four years in office. >> this as we get new reporting on the trump campaign, and whether it wants to see biden stay in the race. we'll be right back. >> so probably seen as hosting shark, sure. >> he's back. who is the alpha matte a still brought to get my shams short. >> i'm still i can see now starts sunday and eat and discovery and stream on max. this summer snacking just got serious introducing new $3

to hear from president joe biden. he just landed in wisconsin where he is set to speak at a campaign rally wisconsin is one of a handful of must-win states for both candidates. and one of the states were forecast or say biden has work to do to win over skeptical voters? this is a hugely consequential day for president biden. we're going to take the president of live as soon as he speaks. while president biden hits the trail, donald trump is keeping a relatively low profile with no campaign events today. but behind the scenes, we're told his campaign has been making calls, digging for clues, hoping to figure out the next step. epps should biden, ultimately decide to step aside cnn, steve contorno has all of these new details. so steve, what is the trump campaign hoping will happen is biden stain on the top of the ticket, better or worse for them? >> certainly there are people around the former president who believed that the path to

election is much easier if joe biden remains on the ticket especially after last thursday night's debate, performance. however, they are starting to take steps to prepare four with the unknowns and one of the things that we know that they are doing is reviewing the republican national committee's of books that it keeps on all the potential contenders that are being floated out there. a couple of names that were tossed out to us. we're michigan governor gretchen whitmer, arizona senator mark kelly pennsylvania he, governor josh shapiro, and california governor gavin newsom, the rnc keeps sort of a rolling background books on all these individuals that they think could be potentially in the mix down the line. well, if it becomes the become in place sooner or later the trump campaign is trying to get up to speed on those individuals and look, trump himself has been predicting this tuition might happen for more than a year. and now that is finally here this campaign is just as unsure as the rest of us is where this is headed. but we have seen this sort of change in strategy

in recent days. you, we saw maga inc. a trope, a pro-trump super pac, start to target kamala harris, the vice president in some of his recent messaging. and we've been told in the scenes, they are talking through what might happen if it is harris and one of the things that we have heard is they will try to pin president biden's mental acuity questions on her and make her answer the question to every turn. what did you know about his mental health? mental acuity issues, his physical stamina? and why did you keep this from the american people? >> it's also notable, steve, that today trump is posted on truth social that he knows, nothing about project 2025. now, for those of us that don't know, that's the effort by a far-right group to overhaul aspects of the federal government and replaced civil service it's with trump loyalists should trump win in november so steep, why is trump coming out? now to create distance from this plan yeah,

this is a plan put out there by the heritage foundation and the heritage foundation leader kevin roberts. >> over the last week, gave an interview where he said that the currently the country is quote, in the process of the second american revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be and certainly that quote has gotten a lot of attention, but trump has also been trying to distance himself and his campaign for months from project 2025 because of some of the controversial policies and proposals they have put out there for a trump second term, some of its quite aligned with trump, including their positions. i cracking down on immigration as well as purging the federal bureaucracies of non trump loyalists. but they've also taken some outlier stances like banning pornography and making it harder to get certain abortion medications and certain birth control medications and such and those are some of the issues that are starting to get into the biden campaign has tried to make into an issue at

the same time, trump is very close to many of the people who are behind project 2020. 25, which is certainly complicating his efforts to distancing him from this organization all right. >> thank you so much, steve contorno, we appreciate it. while we wait for president biden to speak, we wouldn't bring in journalist and biden biographer evan asna's in his 2020 book, joe biden, the life, the run, and what matters now, evan actually asked biden what he'd say voters who think he is too old to be president. biden's response was quote, look at me, decide evan, that's exactly what voters in wisconsin and across the country are going to do today. does the president see this as a make or break moment? i think there's no question that he does. i mean, he has had a theory of the case for a long time that people would watch him as he often says, watch me and judge for yourself and what he started saying that at the beginning of his campaign and had a very different valence to it than it does now right now,

the question is, is there really anything he can do? is there anything that he's able to do in public that would shift the frame of reference because the frame right now is that support is sliding for him and it would take more than just an ordinary performance both today and then also later in this interview with abc, in order to get people to say, okay i'm willing to give him another chance to dig his way out of this. as you heard a moment ago from jerry connelly with congressman, he's saying openly it's not clear to him that joe biden is in the strongest position to win evan biden has said that he would be a transition candidate, infected fluid with the idea of only serving one term. >> and when you look at and just consider as age and some people wonder why, why continue won, you know, why is he running again what drives him, especially in this moment of immense pressure right now, does he feel an obligation to serve?

>> yeah two things. one is interesting is even though he said at the time i want to be a transition canada, he actually explicitly said no to the idea of only serving one term. i just think it's something that is worth pointing out what he was doing at the time was, let's be honest, he was sort of playing with the ambiguity of that idea. he wanted people to say, well, he will put in place place people who would eventually inherit this kind of power. but the reality is people expected him to serve one term and only one term. and i think what i talked to him back in january about this, it was very clear in his his self-description that he felt like he had earned it. that's the word that kept that kept coming up to me as i thought about it, that he would say over and over get any other president who's had this list of achievements, have this list of accomplishments would have a second term, would that of course doesn't accommodate what it doesn't allow is for the reality of how he is perceived. now, to go back to the way he always asked people to judge him. watch me, and he was in his own way, i think kind of immune to the reality of how people did see him he didn't

see himself that way. and so if he was not open to the understanding that people were not seeing him as he did but let me just pull up very quickly but i mean, i guess what i'm what i'm wondering is, you know, he's already had one term as president, right? >> almost he's obviously a few months left. but why does he want to run again and be in the white house for another four years with a weight of the world on him. and not just retire. go look at his career as a public servant. feel great about that and just spend time with his family and ride off into the sunset what's driving him right now? >> i think i think what's driving him right now is a combination of deep rooted reasons and then immediate reasons. the deep rooted reasons are he wanted to do this his entire life and he believes that he got in there and has done a good job as president. that's not an immaterial fact that the sense that he believed leaves that politics should reward people who do the things that everybody wants them to be able to pass big bills, achieve

things that would improve our way of life the reality is two is, he doesn't want to be driven out of politics it on his way. he was in his memory, he was driven out in the 1987 presidential campaign. he carried that cigar with them a long time. bothered him. in. i so i think in some ways the challenge for him now the key is can keep turn this moment into the thing. he always talks about, which is finding purpose in moments of setback. and embarrassment. can you find a purpose? and the purpose may ultimately be setting up a successor to succeed but that's a message that he has to absorb himself and he ultimately is it is now the moment i think where people are expecting it to reach that choice. >> he's also talked about being driven by believing that he is the best candidate to defeat former president donald trump in his effort and retaking the white house. and i'm curious so about what you describe as the perception problem. specifically among members of his own party on

capitol hill, you reported days after the debate, but there was a large number of democrats that we're discussing the possibility of biden stepping aside as the nominee as the days have gone on, and you've heard this sort of ambivalence among certain members, key members of his constituency what do you think? the perception is on capitol hill about his efforts now this more aggressive campaign strategy, more off the cuff moments, especially in light of what he said in that meeting with governors about not scheduling events after 8:00 p.m. yeah. it's it's been a week that has set him back. it has not in fact, begun a process of rebuilding safe and conviction on capitol hill. you heard just a moment ago, fascinating comment. i thought in your interview with congressman gerry connolly, when you ask very directly, worse, is joe biden me in the best position to win in november for your party. his answer was, we don't know yet that is not where this campaign taught.

they wanted to thought they could be a week after they thought they would be able to rebuild that credibility. and in fact, it's continued to slide. i think the ideas he said two governors the other day that he doesn't want to work as much in the evening that just four to five. what is now this? fundamental problem. i want to just say the big fact here, which is this is the moment in the campaign when jill biden wanted to be talking about donald trump, wanted to be talking about what a threat to democracy trumped is everything trump has been saying around july 4th has confirmed everything democrats are afraid of about the possibility of him returning to the white house. and yet the problem so this is that the theory of this campaign was, it was to be an anti-trump coalition that was going to be the thrust. and right now so much of it is about joe biden and about voters legitimate question about whether this was an episode or a condition. and so the challenge before and now, is there anything that he can do really before the public? in front of voters, in front of americans, that can shift that frame of reference. i think that's an open question evan, we just received

this statement from massachusetts governor mara haley urging president biden to quote carefully evaluate whether he remains a democratic party's best hope to defeat donald trump and the 2024 election, she wrote president biden saved our democracy in 2020 and has done an outstanding job over the last four years. >> i am deeply grateful for his leadership and i know he agrees. this is the most important election of our lifetimes you know, it's under seeing the light of this statement, evan, i was speaking to a democratic strategist earlier today who said this person didn't feel like president biden maybe initially after the debate, grasp the gravity of like what just happened and whether he can continue on. and i'm wondering now now with statements like this and a few other democratic house makers coming out telling him to step aside. do you think that president biden is really grasping this moment and the gravity of it. and, you know

sort of where we are yeah, i think what we know from his life is that when he has been through these kinds of moments, he has this concept of ken, he game it out is determined to use its meaning, can he see a lane that allows him to get through obstacles? >> that might be piling up in his path. and there have been moments when the answer is no in 1987, after a plagiarism scandal in the presidential race, it was his friend ted hausman, who said to him, the only way that you get the sharps, as he said, to go away, is to get out of this race and biden did get out of that race but it is it is as you know, pam campaign is a matter of conviction. it is a kind of faith faith in yourself in this audacious idea that you could and should be president and so you have to maintain that both to yourself and the people around you up to the point at which you realize you're gonna do damage ultimately to the verite, to the values to the party to which you've devoted your life. and it is not an

overstatement to say that today. and really just in the hours and the days ahead, we are seeing that decision on the block. it is this moment and, it's been a very long time since we've had a moment of this kind of sticks and our politics absolutely. i've always fascinating to get your perspective, please stay with us because as we look at live pictures of president biden's rally in wisconsin, were expecting that he is going to speak at any minute. we're going to take it live as soon as it begins. don't go anywhere it is real. okay. take a picture congratulations. >> thank you so much i lost 50 pounds, in gained $1,900. get paid to get healthy at healthy wager.com lawmakers are trying to shut down planned parenthood, the health care of more than 2 million people is at stake our right to basic reproductive health care is being stolen from us. planned

since it formed. what's the latest well, it has been over the yucatan peninsula and when a storm goes over land, it loses the power to get stronger because it loses the water. right now this thing looks like scrambled eggs and hot that's awesome. that's great news because we don't want it to be any stronger than it has to be when it comes off the yucatan peninsula, you can still see the center of circulation. it's still there 70 miles per hour winds still going and there'll be an awful lot of rainfall coming down as well in places that have already seen a lot of rain this spring and into the early summer. but here's the real concern. as it exits the yucatan gets back into warm water. it begins to regenerate itself and will make tremendous surge. storm surge could be 60, maybe eight feet along that texas coast that we'll get in the way of many, many people on their holiday week. and weekend. so this is a big storm. it likely doesn't get too as big as it was, but with the warm water here, we're in the middle 80s. we could

certainly get to category three again, without a doubt, 123 degrees warmer than we should be this time of year. a certainty. we're going to get the tropical storm-force winds along the texas coast and the rip currents this weekend will be very dangerous all the way from florida, all the way down, even to mexico. and with a rip current, if you are taken out and i've done this, this has happened to me actually in cozumel, i've been taken out into the ocean very far. you'd look at it, you go, wow, i am really far away, but when you get away from that wind and that water, moving you out and you just kind of float down away from it. it will bring you back toward land. this is a dangerous day and probably a dangerous weekend. you might as well just stay out of the water, take a look at it and make it look pretty an important reminder as a lot of folks around out on the water, chad myers from the weather center. thanks so much big question. can president biden dispel concerns about his health? i'm convinced voters that he's prepared to serve another four years. we're about to find out he should be taking

classified documents case for time to breathe, how they believe the supreme court opinion applies to this case. now let's speaking with sources familiar with the trump legal strategy. they believe that that's supreme court opinion, even though it was specifically about the other federal case related to efforts to subvert the 2020 election. they believe that that case will help them as much, if not more, in the classified documents case as you just noted, most of the alleged conduct in that innt occurred after he left office. but in the supreme court opinion, not only did they lay out the parameters for when a former president can be charged. well, they also talk about evidence and the supreme court said that evidence that is official acts. so official acts cannot be used as evidence to support certain charges. that's where the trump team is focused here. they want to use that opinion to try to toss any evidence about how those classified documents ended up in boxes while they were still at the white house and then allegedly ended up at trump's various properties of pamela that requires a pretty expansive view and interpretation of the supreme

court opinion. but judge cannon has shown a willingness to here to here you're out arguments than other judges might dismiss on their face. so here are the lawyers just asking for time and a schedule for her to hear them out on how they believe is supreme court opinion impacts this criminal case, right? paula reid, thanks so much. we'll be tracking this for sure. now we are monitoring president biden's rally in wisconsin, as i noted earlier, he should be taken at any minute. we'll be right back outages could be unpredictable inconvenient, and disruptive to your life. >> what was a real threat to your family's comfort and safety when the power goes out, you have no lights, no refrigeration. no heating or air conditioning. it ends are not letting up at all here for you to see some power outages. >> number one thing to prepare for his extended power outages. >> are you prepared? you can be with a generale home standby generator when a power outage occurs, your generale home standby interrater automatically powers up using

hearing saying that athletes and water needs to be held more accountable. latest developments seeing swimming's international governing body saying its executive director brent no wiki has now been ordered to testify in a us criminal investigation into the case. this comes after a house committee on china in may asking the justice department and the fbi to investigate the case under a federal law that allows probes into suspected doping conspiracies, even if they occurred outside side of the united states. now, here's why this is also very important and relevant because 11 of those chinese swimmers are set to compete in paris three weeks from now, they won three gold medals in tokyo. the spotlight is gonna be on them very intensely. indeed, when they set foot into the pool and prepare to compete, it goes without saying none of this will be sorted. of course before the games in france, the hope is that this can all be cleared up and competition can be clean because the u.s. is

gonna be hosted the summer games in 2028. watch this space scrutiny and a lot of intense focus on those swimmers it's back to you. >> a major implications depending on what that investigation finds, patrick snell. thanks so much for the update president biden is running behind schedule and right now, we're waiting from the take this stage in madison, wisconsin. the president has a singular goal today to assure voters, not just in this battleground state, but across the country that he's fit for another four years in office, we're going to take his remarks live, stay with this summer snacking just got serious introducing new, $3 footlong diverse world might not be ready for them. but at $3 a pop, your wallet definitely is. >> i'm jonathan larson here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program if your h 50 to 85 and
