mar-a-lago today with his most powerful ally in washington as president biden blasts the former president as a convicted criminal in a massive new ad buy. the maneuvers from both sides ahead of their first debate next week. a new phase in israel's operations in gaza, and netanyahu disbanding his war cabinet. what does it all mean for the war against hamas? scorching heat from detroit to boston as wildfires rage in california. the extreme weather that's turning this summer into a slow broil. good morning. thanks for being here. it's 10:00 eastern. i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york. we begin this morning with the intensifying race for the white house today donald trump hosts house speaker mike johnson and the head of the campaign committee working to elect house republicans at mar-a-lago to talk strategy, while president

biden is seeing green coming off a record fund-raiser, raking in $30 million at a hollywood event with big-time stars in attendance. nbc's vaughn hillyard is tracking the latest with the trump campaign. allie raffa is at the white house. also with us, jennifer horn, former rnc executive committee mem bher and ashley etienne normer aide to vice president harris and speaker pelosi. >> early this afternoon we expect speaker johnson to privately meet with donald trump, the presumptive positive nominee at his mar-a-lago estate. you'll recall a similar type of meeting took place two months ago in which speaker johnson who at the time was on the cusp of being vacate friday the speakership, a threat majed by marjorie taylor greene to cobble republicans, to do what they had done just a few months prior to

kevin mccarthy. donald trump stood in speaker johnson's corner. over the last two months we have seen speaker johnson not only go to his manhattan trial and walk out and talk to cameras in support of him. he's called on the u.s. supreme court to intervene in his appeal to undo his criminal conviction stemming from that new york trial. he's also placed two key trump allies on the house intelligence committee to donald trump's liking, including former doctor ronnie jackson. for donald trump and mike johnson, there's mutual interest here. of course, for donald trump, if he were to get back in the white house, it's in his interest to have a governing co-lags with the republican house majority in order to pass through legislation that he would like to enact come 2025. for speaker johnson, there's, of course, key incentive to hold on to the support of donald trump. you'll recall donald trump was in washington, d.c. last week. he met with house republicans and gave behind closed doors

acknowledgment and approval to speaker johnson and noted to marjorie taylor greene that she should be nice to him. for these two men, this meeting is significant. we're 4 1/2 months out from the general election. we expect not only a tight presidential race but also key house races that could very well turn in democrats' favor and make speaker johnson no longer the speaker come 2025. >> we just got a note that meeting set for 1:00 p.m. eastern today. allie, this $30 million fund-raiser for president biden. do we have any idea how he's planning to use that haul on the campaign trail. >> reporter: you add that to the more than $26 million it brought in in march for the big high-profile new york city fund-raiser, and you get a sense for this growing war chuft the biden campaign has. they're adding more field offices to the more than 150 they already have opened across battleground states.

they're also hiring more organizers. but the biden team says their main focus, their main investment is going to be in paid media. they say that is the best way to communicate directly with voters, especially in this critical stage of the campaign with just over a week to go until the first general election presidential debate. we're already seeing this fund-raising money being put to work. the biden campaign introducing a new ad called character matters that directly attacks former president trump for his guilty verdicts in several of his legal cases. take a listen to part of that ad. >> this election is between a convicted criminal who is only out for himself and a president who is fighting for your family. >> i'm joe biden, and i approve this message. >> reporter: and is particularly notable given the distance that the president has created between himself and former

president trump's legal challenges in the last couple months. the biden team really wants to hone in on this messaging. their argument is while the president is busy caring about the american people, former president trump is caring about himself. lastly, the biden campaign says they're using that $50 million ad blitz to target minority voters. there will be new efforts to reach to black americans, asian americans and latino voters. >> allie and vaughn, thank you: jennifer, you just saw that new biden xain ad, what's your reaction to it? >> i think it's a great ad. i think it's strong for president biden. it highlights what we know is the worst of donald trump and the best of joe biden. i think the messaging and the visuals on it are really strong. i think as his campaign goes forward, particularly at the

debate in about ten days, that that's going to be the kind of distinction that joe biden is going to make. we know that in general the american people are going to respond negatively to donald trump's -- to his legal convictions. i think that the ad, if i remember the full add correctly, uses the phrase sexual assault, and it shows biden with children and a smile and what he's most known for, his ability to connect with people and to be compassionate and empathetic. i think it's a really strong commercial. >> what do you make of speaker johnson going to visit trump again in mar-a-lago? they just saw each other last week. is trump going to be a drag, or is he going to help vulnerable republicans? >> well, i think that vulnerable republicans will probably find him to be a bit of a drag. i think that mike johnson going back down to mar-a-lago again,

going down to see the president again. i read that he may be going back later this week with some of the folks from the senate. johnson is making it very, very clear that he is in for trump. i find it particularly unsettling -- i know it's an election year and, of course, johnson is going to be in for republican successes, but he's spending an awful lot of time where he's supposed to be speaker of the house for all americans in courtrooms and in these overly glam florida home of a candidate rather than in washington doing his job. i think the connection that he's trying to build with donald trump ultimately is not just bad for the country. i think it could end up being bad for a lot of republican candidates. >> ashley, i want to play some of the comments from president biden talking to jimmy kimmel at

that campaign fund-raiser this weekend. watch this. >> the idea that if he's re-elected he's going to appoint two more flying flags upside down is really -- i really mean it. >> could this be the scariest part of all of it? >> i think it is one of the scariest parts. the supreme court has never been as out of kilter as it is today. >> ashley, how big of a motivator might this be for democrats and should the president perhaps put out a list of potential supreme court nominees? >> i don't think he should go so far as to put out a list. democrats have for some time been amplifying the threat that the supreme court poses to the very rights that we enjoy. for years we were talking about in the context primarily of reproductive rights and we saw what happened when the court reversed roe. we talked about it as it relates

to affirmative action. they refersed affirmative action. what we used to posit as a threat is no longer an excess senl threat. it's an actual real thing that's happening every day. i think people actually get it. voters get it. particularly democratic voters get it better than they ever have before. what we're also seeing is it's having resonance with these independent voters, the 1% to 2% that will make the difference in the next election. this message is not just geared towards democrats and the democratic base, but it's also geared toward those independent, those 1 to 2% that will make the difference in the next election. >> i also want to ask you, ashley, the comments we're hearing from trump. he had an interview saying i have so many black friends that if i were a racist, they wouldn't be friends. they would know better than anybody and fast. he also spoke at a black church

this weekend in detroit. take a listen to part of that message plus a reminder of other comments he's made recently to try to appeal to this voting bloc. >> we've done more for -- and i say it proudly -- more for the black population than any president since abraham lincoln. that's a big statement. >> then i got indicted a second time and a third time and a fourth time. a lot of people said that that's why the black people like me because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against. >> ashley, he has made some inroads with the black voters in that voting bloc. what's your reaction to these types of comments? >> there was just a "usa today" poll that came out that said black voters overwhelmingly find the president's statements offensive, as i do i. it sort of challenges my mind and he tries to pander to us in the same breath as he demonizes

and insults us. i don't think it's actually having a big impact. i think this narrative is overrated that he's appealing to black voters. i think there are some on the margin. the large majority of black voters, specifically blashg men remember under trump black unemployment was double under trump, how he tried to invalidate obama with the birtherism movement, how he told police to dominate the protesters after george floyd's death. we will never forget those things. i think this narrative he's making inroads with black voters is actually just complete hype. i don't think it's actually real. but you contrast that -- the former president's record to the current president's record and you have black unemployment is at a record -- lowest record it's been at ever. you have black wealth up 60%. black businesses growing at the fastest rate as it has in

decades. so this is an area which i don't think the biden campaign obviously is not going to let up. let me add one more thing, ana, before we leave. it's actually having the opposite effect, the focus on black voters, than what trump actually wants. i've worked in four presidential campaigns. it's typically not until october that we start to focus on black voters. because there's so many polls out now and donald trump is going to the bronx and to detroit and all these other places trying to appeal to black voters, you have the democratic party that's now doubling down on aggression sierra nevadaly appealing to black voters with $25 million ad buys, where recently the party just launched african americans for biden. there's a huge effort now to appeal and engage black voters faster, sooner and more aggressively than the party ever has before. >> quick final thought to you, jennifer. >> ashley is absolutely right. i'm kind of a fan of donald trump getting out there in front

of black voters or hispanic voters or lgbtq voters. i think the more they see him, the more they hear from him, the clearer it becomes just how -- frankly i think he's inherently racist. people don't like to use that word and be that bold. i think that he is. i think he has a history of that. he is the "there are good people on both sides"al president. he can't stop himself from suggesting that he is as targeted by law enforcement as the history of black people in this country. these are outrageous statements he makes. i think they expose him for who he really is. i thif it also highlights when he behaves this way and highlights again joe biden's position and his long history of become the more empathetic, compassionate fair-minded human being as compared to donald trump. >> again, drum answering those questions about whether he's a racist where, if i were a

racist, i wouldn't have black friends. direct quote from him in that interview with semafor. >> ladies, thank you nor the conversation. ahead, the scorching heat set to blanket much of the u.s. this week. are you in the hot zone? plus, a legal question. will the supreme court rule against trump when it comes to presidential immunity and could they step in over his felony conviction in new york? also a warning from the u.s. surgeon general today involving your children and social media. and israel's war cabinet being dissolved. so what does that mean for the war against hamas? we're back in 90 seconds. ♪♪ citi's industry leading global payments solutions help their clients move money around the world seamlessly in over 180 countries... and help a partner like the world food programme

when you say this is a major shakeup. the war cabinet has been managing the war effort for these last eight months. remember it was kind of a team of rivals, political opponents joining netanyahu's government after the october 7th attack, but they have now resigned from that unity government saying they disagree with netanyahu's handling of the war. this comes amid tensions between the israeli government and the israeli army over getting humanitarian aid into gaza. this morning a new phase of israel's operation in rafah is under way. the idf says it's pausing fighting for 11 hours each day near a critical border crossing to allow more humanitarian aid into gaza. the move announced during the muslim holiday of'd, gazan families trying to celebrate among the ruins of war. there's no life. gaza is destroyed.

there's no gaza anymore. aid groups welcoming the decision and calling on israel to do more to address the danger of famine. the far right of israel's government blasting the army, saying whoever made the decision to pause the fighting was a fool who should not continue in his position. an israeli official claiming prime minister netanyahu was unaware of the decision and found it unacceptable saying the fighting would continue in other parts of rafah as planned. the israeli leader also announcing he's dissolving the war cabinet after his main political rival be signed from the body last week. over the weekend netanyahu fixing pressure as protesters in tel aviv demanded a deal to free the hostages, even if it means ending the war. a week after he was rescued by israeli commanders, freed hostage andre kozlov speaking out. >> israel, hamas, i ask you to make a deal as soon as possible.

>> reporter: a senior adviser to president biden is here in israel today to discuss nat gaza, but the intensifying fighting between israel and aaron-backed hezbollah in southern lebanon. the white house is saying it's doing everything it can to try to keep that fight from erupting into a full-scale war. >> raf, in the back of our minds is what's happening with the cease-fire negotiations. any movement? >> reporter: ana, here is the diplomatic choreography. a little more than two weeks ago, president biden laid out the three-phase plan to end the war in gaza, free the hostages. hamas responded to that proposal last week with a whole series of changes, one of them which is they want a firm timeline for when israel forces will withdraw in gaza. secretary blinken said some of the changes that hamas is looking for are potentially workable. some of them are not. we're now at the stage that

egypt and qatar, the two main mediators, are trying to figure out is there a way to bridge this gap between israel and hamas and see if this deal can be moved forward. ana. >> raf sanchez, thank you. keep us posted. meantime the kremlin is reporting that ugs president vladimir putin will be visiting north korea starting tomorrow. this visit is expected to focus on expanding military cooperation. it comes as putin's top spy chief says conditions will be tougher for ukraine if they turn down putin's current peace agreement. remember putin's conditions include ukraine withdrawing troops from four regions annexed by moscow since the 2022 invasion. russia demanding ukraine renounce plans to join nato. 80 countries at a swiss peace conference called for the territorial integrity of ukraine to be the basis for any peace agreement. next on "ana cabrera reports," a growing fire out west that has burned up an area

dangerous heat will be siefling. experts are warning an extreme heat dome stretching from the midwest to the northeast, and it could feel as high as 100 degrees everywhere from detroit to boston. while out west, emergency responders are struggling to contain a wildfire the size of manhattan already as this is just north of los angeles. the post fire has already burned through more than 14,000 acres and it's only 8% contained. nbc's maggie vespa is in detroit with more on the extreme heat. first, let's go to castaic, california where steve patterson is monitoring that fast-moving wildfire. where do the firefighting efforts stand this hour? >> reporter: ana, this is the essence of a wind-driven fire. it's why this fire exploded over the weekend, why it continues to remain a threat as we speak. we just had a news conference from firefighters on the ground here. the good news is they're trying to do the best they can to contain the flames, push it away

from a nearby interstate and away from the population center. to that end, it sounds like they're doing the best they can. you mentioned the containment number, 8%. that's up from 2%. it doesn't sound like much. on a fire of this size, any progress is a good sign they're doing all they can to push that away. we're hearing still the acreage nearing 15,000 acres, still a very, very large fire. as you can imagine with the first large fire of the season, it is all-hands-on-deck. we're talking about 1,200 personnel on the ground. that's just as many as the evacuation orders in this area, more than 100 engines. there are air draps they're seeing on your screen, bulldozers, everything to get this equipment into that zone and push this away from where the population center is. it sounds like, again, with the cooperating winds now -- still wind warnings in effect. but now 10-15 miles an hour instead of 50-70 that we saw over the weekend, firefighters

are able to make progress. the winds combined with the bone-dry brush in the area, it's still a very dangerous situation on the ground. >> fingers crossed for those folks. maggie, talk about the risk millions are facing with the extreme heat. >> reporter: sure. all the classic risks we talk about every summer. we had someone tweet, okay, temperatures in the 90s. otherwise known as summer. the key here is this heat is hitting so early. talking temperatures 10 to 20, potentially 25 degrees in some places above average for this time of year. this is going to be the first heat wave that hits in 2024, expected to be stubborn, sustaining throughout the week. there's not going to be any relief even overnight when a lot of people tend to cool down. scientists point out our bodies acclimate to heat over time. to have this come in and go from

moderate temperatures to mid to upper 90s so quickly, that's when you get more prone to things like heat exhaustion and the likes. the classic tips hold true. drinking water, wearing sunscreen, staying indoors when you can, avoiding strenuous workouts if possible, and be cognizant, officials stress, of potential power outages. to that end, ana, we've been told crews have things ready. as you pointed out, this is going to be the first test of a lot of people of the entire season. >> we hope everybody stays safe. maggie vespa, steve patterson, thank you both. up next, a weekend of gun violence rattling communities. what are americans supposed to do this summer. plus, the warning from the u.s. surgeon general about social media and your children. cial media and your children.

welcome back. could you start seeing a doctor's warning before you doom scroll? the u.s. surgeon general is calling on congress to regulate the way some of our youngest americans connect online, writing in an essay for "the new york times," quote, it is time to require a surgeon general's warning label on social media platforms stating that social media is associated with significant mpth harms for adolescents. he spoke exclusively about this on the "today" show this morning. >> we have allowed these

platforms to exist, to evolve, to proliferate, to really occupy so much space in our children's lives. our kids themselves are telling us about the mental health impact. >> nbc's savannah sellers is joining us now with more on this. savannah, this is such a big challenge for parents. >> absolutely. >> what do we need to know about the potential harms and how to maybe navigate all of this? >> one of the things that i thought was really powerful about this op-ed from the surgeon general and what he shared on the "today" show, he comes at this not only as the nation's top health official, but as a parent, he has a 6-year-old and 7-year-old. he's hearing from parents and teens all over the country that they're having trouble out of this, right out of the mouths of teens, saying this does not make me feel good but i don't know what to do about it. one of the things that's interesting that's starting to pick up steam, he asks parents, work with people in your community and say in this community our kids aren't going to have social media until x

age, so you don't have concern about young people feeling left out. the statistics show really startling things. the youth risk behavior survey, 57% of teen girls say they feel sad or hopeless. 30% seriously consider suicide. look at some of the stats on your screen. here we're seeing tips on your screen. keep those away from teens until a certain age. another thing that's a concern, 46% say it makes them feel really bad about their body image. all this comes with teens spending an average of 4.8 hours a day on their phones. listen to the concern with that, more from the surgeon general. >> not only have companies not demonstrated that their platforms are safe for kids, but there's growing evidence of harm. it shows us, in fact, when adolescents spend more than three hours a day on social media, we're seeing an association with a doubling of risk of anxiety and depression symptoms. the average amount of use per day among adolescents is nearly

five hours. so that's deeply concerning to me, not just as surgeon general but as a parent myself. >> right there you hear three hours you get those concerns and kids are spending five. >> depression, anxiety, such big mental health issues. so what about this warning label? when could that realistically be applied and what kind of impact could that have? >> it's a really good question. it's the nation's top health official calling for this. one of his most powerful tools would be to put a surgeon general warning on something. however, this is not something he could do unilaterally. this would have to be approved by congress. no such legislation is in front of either chamber. one thing that's interesting to point out, how infrequently do we see bipartisan support of this something like that? it could have good reception. he wants it to have this language that shows parents, hey, you need to be aware, be alert and know this could cause this issue for your child.

it's statistically been proven to do so. we'll see if it ends up being something like a pop-up notification or what it would look like digitally. >> awareness seems to be the first step in tackling this problem. thank you so much, savannah sellers. turning to an outbreak of gun violence across the country. multiple mass shootings left dozens hurt and at least two dead during what was supposed to be a festive weekend, leaving communities reeling in michigan, texas, ohio, massachusetts. some suspects are still on the run. nbc news correspondent erin mclaughlin is discovering the scourge of gun violence. so many celebrations turning tragic this weekend. what else do we know? >> as you point out, at least four separate mass shootings across four different states over the weekend. all of it days after the supreme court struck down that ban on gun bump stocks. >> reporter: this morning flerndz and families ak crops

the country are grieving after multiple mass shootings this weekend. >> multiple victims from an active shoot arer. deputies aren't on scene yet. >> in rochester hills michigan a man opened fire on a splash pad, unleashing 28 rounds. nine injured including children, some seriously wounded. >> an 78-year-old boy who has a gunshot wound to the head. >> reporter: police say the suspect later shot himself and are investigating his motive. >> it was heartbreaking, sad denning, devastating. nothing like this has ever happened around this area. >> reporter: in round rock, texas, police are searching for a shooter who killed two and injured more than a dozen others at a juneteenth celebration. >> these folks could care less about someone's life and took someone's life on a day we're here to celebrate community. >> reporter: at least eight people were injured by a shooting in a pop-up party in

methuen, massachusetts, with two victims in critical condition. >> here we see again gun violence that's striking at the heart of a community. >> reporter: so far this year there have been 225 mass shootings in the u.s. according to the gun violence archive. the weekend shootings come just days after the supreme court struck down a trump-era ban on bump stocks, the gun accessories used to modify semi-automatic weapons so they can fire faster. this morning many are just searching for answers. >> our hearts go out to the victims and their families. these acts of senseless violence do not represent the values of our community. >> now, to our knowledge, the shootings over the weekend did not involve bump stocks, but experts say that if they had, this could have been so much worse. ana. >> erin, thank you for that. >> we also want to note, today marks nine years since nine people were killed in a hate crime at charleston's mother

visionworks. see the difference. one criminal case is already behind former president trump, but as his lawyers get ready to appeal that felony conviction on 34 counts, his political allies are hoping he can leapfrog the appeals process altogether. from speaker johnson on down to florida congressman byron donalds who is also in the discussion to be trump's running mate, this new refrain has emerged from republicans in washington. >> the only ability for this to be over turned is going to be happening two or three years from now. we all know this. that's why what happened in lower manhattan was to interfere with an election which is why spoker johnson, myself included, and many americans believe the supreme court should step into this matter. >> now, trump already has a case in front of the supreme court as

soon as this week, in fact. the nine justices could determine whether trump and any ex-president has immunity from federal criminal charges. here to discuss this and more, nbc news legal analyst and criminal defense attorney danny cevallos. danny, let's start on this idea that trump's allies are pushing his guilty verdict in a state court should leapfrog the typical appeals process and go directly to the supreme court. is that even an opinion shurn? >> it's not an option. it is hypothetically possible. there's a thing called original jurisdiction where the supreme court can take original jurisdiction in very exceptional circumstances. there has to be no other option. that's what trump has here, the traditional option which is you appeal within the state court system, first to the appellate division, the first department here in new york, and from that intermediate court to the court of appeals which is the highest court in new york. the supreme court, the trial court is a lower court.

so that's confusing the point is, this is going to be a standard state court appeal. is there an argument to be made that it's going to take years for that to happen? yes. that's what happens for every other criminal defendant convicted in new york. if there are constitutional issues afterward, he may be able to take that into the federal courts. there really is no immediate path from this conviction to the supreme court, the united states supreme court. >> trump is still under a partial gag order here in the hush money case in new york now, in his classified documents case, the prosecution is seeking a gak order to stop trump from making statements that could endanger law enforcement. trump claims it's to restrict what he can say on the campaign trail. what's your analysis? >> the bail reform act, what they look to do is modify convictions of pretrial release. the bail reform act generally expresses a preference for lesser restrictions rather than more restrictions. if the government can show

safety to the community is compromised, be it fbi agents or whoever else, then they've got a shot. on the other hand, this kind of prior restraint, especially when it comes to matters of great public concern and political speech is considered really the highest, the pinnacle of first amendment protected speech. you really have a tough chal leaning here i think for the government to convince this judge that under the bail reform act trump's speech as a matter of kind of prior restraint, preventing him from speaking before he speaks about political matters -- should be suppressed. in other words, should be restrained. but it's entirely possible they can make that showing. >> hasn't he already spoken about it, and that's what the problem is is that he was making these allegations that when they did the search warrant at mar-a-lago, the fbi had some kind of order to potentially assassinate him. i mean, these were bogus claims. it was all about use of force. that's kind of standard protocol

and all the search warrants. that was the issue, i think, that sparked this gag order request. he's already made these comments that are inflammatory and potentially damaging, could put people in their lives at risk. >> exactly right. and that's the government's argument. so just giving you the defense's response, which they filed in papers before the court. it's essentially they go through the different postings, and it's kind of a tough position to argue. some of these postings may be false, but falsity alone is not a reason to gag someone. now, look, does that pass the ha ha test? i'm not entirely sure. it's a strange thing to be arguing for your client. yeah, he's telling false statements on his social media, but false statements alone are allowed. they should be protected. those are the kinds of arguments they're making. that in addition to the fact that, look, we're only talking about what's in public filings, and they argue the government hasn't really articulated a specific threat. that's another kind of challenge here. on the one hand the government has a point. you want to be able to protect

people before bad things happen. the defense's argument is you can't just pull imaginary situations out of the ether. you have a bit of a challenge here for any judge dealing with a gag order. all gag orders are constitutionally suspect. >> conversation to be continued and of course we also have the trump immunity decision at the supreme court, any day now, so we'll be watching for that very closely. thanks, danny. and now turning to maryland where this morning governor wes moore signed an historic executive order that pardons more than 175,000 marijuana convictions. this action by the governor is considered one of the nation's most sweeping acts of clemency of its kind, and it is expected to benefit an estimated 100,000 people. next here on "ana cabrera reports," just keep swimming. the paris olympics are almost here. the dramatic moments from swim
