washington post. the gop race for president just got bigger and 2024 longshot and miami mayor francis suarez enters the republican nomination, but where does he fit in the crowded field. >> the attack of the killer orcas ramming boats and all caught on video, and the whales are adapting and learning and now the experts say that there is a leader. this is cnn news central. this morning, donald trump has announced a brand-new rally, and the first sibs federally indicted as a new report raises the intriguing possibility that trump rejected a plan to trying to prevent the charges from being filed. according to trump's attorney

chris kise wanted to avoid prosecuting a former president and take an exit ramp, and so kis never reached out to justice. and now, there is a team of whether there is really any opportunity to settle, but coming up to the post quote, we didn't have to be here, and yet, here we are. on july 1st, he is going to be in pickens, south carolina, as he refuses to lift his foot off of the gas pedal. >> and also mentioned in the washington post reporting, allegations of the attorney

general's office. >> this is so significant, because this is the first time that we have heard from the doj's office. and so since he announced that he would make another run at the white house, the point of an independent counsel is to take over where the justice department may have a conflict, so in defending smith, garland is not only defending the justice department of the vitriolic attacks, and this is what garland has said in the past few days. >> as i said when i appointed mr. smith, i did so because it underscores the justice department's commitment to oath independence and accountability. mr. smith is a veteran career prosecutor. he is has assembled a group of

experienced and talent ed prosecutors and agents who share his commitment to integrity and the rule of law. >> so you can hear the attorney general there emphasizing that these are career prosecutors or trying to differentiate there political appointees who have been working throughout the parties, they work independently under the justice department, and he can override any prosecutorial decisions, and if so, they would have to notify congress. the framing here seems to be from the justice department that not only jack smith is independent, and issuing prood deference to make independent decisions like the historic prosecution of donald trump.

>> and so it is not stopping the attacks, but at least putting on the record where he stands. we want to bring in chief general analyst and we are hearing him talk about the independence of the investigation, and why do you think that he would speak out? >> well, it is the talking points for some time, and maybe the reason for the early decision to announce the re-election bid for trump is to be towards the eye of this idea is to stave off the talking point that it is the attorney general's decision. they have handed off the reins to jack smith because of that. he has talked about the talking points of hey, this is the biden, doj, and the biden fbi,

and the biden, and you insert the next, but the backing of the special counsel is going to bode well that this is about the separation from biden, from general garland to of course jack smith. >> trying to make it if i can go back to the the charges being avoided if they had just returned the documents. >> it sounds like all of it could have been avoided if he had just returned boxes. the actual notion that you can retain the keys to the castle, and still be a president of, and a new person has been sworn into

and once there actual notice that you lack the authority to have the documents and the back and forth to the point to have the fbi execute a search warrant, and so many points in time that it could have been avoided, and the core of the indictment, and not just the willful retention of the document, but it is the willful obstruction a and there is a to prove it oirm and these two, none of the latter two, obstruction or conspiracy has anything to do with the actual actions of the department of justice, the fbi, the special counsel, the mnra and all of it has to do with trump and the co-defendant will nauta. >> it is so terrific to have

your resporting today, and to learn what was happening around the scene. >> and with ron desantis, they were one and two in most polling. >> i am running for the polling, because i have a different message than most candidates. i'm generational, and that is a buzzword, because i have created generational change, and not focused on winning the 2024 sglrnlgt and now for florida politics, and appreciate it. francis suarez, who is he? >> well, he is miami's mayor, and twice elected, and twice

rkt, but he has used the position as a pretty effective marketer for the city of miami, and he is now a candidate for president. >> and in the launch video, he is in jogging clothes, and trying to distinguish himself from the older candidates joe biden and donald trump who are in the race right now, but politically speaking compared to the other republicans right now, where is he politically, because might say more mot yat -- moderate. he is a law and order candidate, and he has distanced himself of the hard-line positions that the

two frontrunners have aligned himself with. >> he supported andrew gill lam in the 2020 yooufr nafl and this is unique place for a republican to be in a primary, isn't it? >> yeah, certainly. it may cause issues for him in the primary, and particularly among gop voters who have trended far more conservative along with, you know, trump's base. miami is largely liberal with deep consek vative pockets, but the primary is a race to the right, and he may struggle

coming away with what differentiates him. >> and there are now three floridians. and maybe everybody says, i won't and now most can use a campaign to jump to something else, too, and what might mayor suarez get out of this, too? >> well, kellyanne conway has floated idea of him running trump's vice president, and a li littlege and the speculation aside, i think that he is running for president in earnest, and the success and i

don't know what he is looking into, but this is a lofty endeavor he is taking on. and now s, texas governor abbott is taking responsibility for shipping migrants to california. >> the ten sh---- potential, scientists say they have produced the first synthetically produced embryo. we wilill explain.

one of the same air space, and there a ckconflickshun pace, an the tension is getting higher, because we reported on a russian pilot trying to dog fight american jet, and this is when there was not a warning. that is the sort of issue that can lead to bad response or escalation. that is why it is so concerning to the united states. and the commander said that they are seeing from the russians unsave and now they are scrambled f-22 jets to the region and flown missions over

syria. they were based at langley, and then moved to the area to send a message of deterrence to the russians that they should not be doing the unsafe and unprofessional flights, because they are sflaurnlgd certainly not moving the troops out of syria, and the troops are there in the on going mission to defeat them with that critical mission and you can see that the air force is standing by to sending them a mis, oran the main focus of the counter offensive appears to be in the south, this region here, and the ukrainians are trying to push downward to the sea of azov, but they say that the

russian troops are putting up strong resistance. with us is the retired general james spider marks. i wanted to show folks where this fighting is. it is in this region right here, and not far from zaporizhzhia, and the ukrainians retaking a sliver of territory, and also up here to, and intelligence collection, and movement and fire. and spider, can you explain what is happening in the fighting right now. >> before you can determine whether you want take the thrust frrnlg you want the brake left

or brake right, and then screen and hold and go to another area. so this is a deliberate hold on the part of the ukrainians and a lef and put the fogts together and that is going to achieve a operational maneuver to break through the defensive barriers to get as deep as possible to separate the russian forces. >> you are talking about the defensive barrier, and the russians have had some time to dig in, and this is cry mere ya where and you can see the trench lines going in every direction here. tell us how the russians have done this, and how the ukrainians can get behind this

sense of tunnelling. >> they see that when they engage in direct cat every army going back gazillions of years, if you not engaging, you are digging the deeper and improving the defensive procedure. that is what is happening here. and if you are going back to world war ii and thinking of the hedge rows there in norm di, those rr horrible fighting that took place more more pan labyrinth of the defensive positions is incredibly

difficult to fight. >> spider, when we are looking back at the lines here and where the ukrainians are trying to go as they are pushing south, is it reasonable to expect that they get some kind of a breakthrough if that is what they are going for here to find the weakness and flood through and push all of the way to the sea of azov. >> well sgr, that is what we wo love to see the ukrainians achieve over the course of the past year. as i described with the defensive, with defensive positions, those belts, the defensive positions in depth, it is very difficult, and you may trait one or another, and then you slow down the momentum, you become exposed, and so there a

new this morning, the biden administration is to announce ticket master and live nation is to give customers actual price of the ticket before they hit purchase so consumers and customers will be seeing all of the frustrating fees up front. arlette seanez joining us from the white house. what does that mean for the consumers at home?

>> well, rahel, it affects so many americans, you go to buy a concert ticket, and you get a price to see the end with or they are wangt to show this afternoon, this is hosting coos of major commitments who have offered commitments of krising up front. some of them from ticketmaster and also seat geek and airbnb who are also participating in the meeting this afternoon.

part of this is the biden administration and the white house's push to focus on the kitchen table issues especially as the economy and the inflation are top of mind for voter heading into the 2024 election. now, all of the announcements coming to today are volunteer, but congress has urged congress to push the junk fees, and this is to terminate all of those fee, and this is a push from the white house to try to identify and address some of the issues that everyday americans are facing, and that are hitting the pocketbooks. we will hear more from these companies today at the white house. >> i think that a lot of people will find this welcomed news to have that understanding and on the front end what this is going to cost you. >> this is the rock 'n' roll music that kids are listening to these days. >> and the pop music or the r&b. >> and the music is so loud, but

racial inequality of america, and listen to what he says specifically about this. >> if a republican who may even be sincere in saying that i want us all to live together doesn't have a plan of how do we address crippling generational poverty that is a consequence of hundreds of years of racism in this society, and we need to do something about that, now, we can't just ignore all of that and pretend as if everything is equal and fair, we have to actually walk the walk, and not just talk the talk. >> so the context is the presidential campaign of south carolina presidential candidate tim scott saying that there is a fair and equal opportunity for all americans, and he went on "the view" and sparred back and

forth with the hosts there. and this what the president is weighing in on, and this is what david axleford has on the axe files. he said that he has not heard of the senator scott's campaign addresses fully, but it is a moment for more ways to address racial inequality, and it is hard to boil down the president in a sound bite of 30 seconds, because it is a hour-long conversation of the moment certainly in the campaign and also of race in america, john. >> and jeff zeleny who has covered barack obama almost since the begin of time, and great to have your insight. thank you, my friend. >> and now, prosecutors are presenting the case in the case

of the shooting in the synagogue case in pennsylvania. if any of the charges are guilty, it will go to a separate penalty phase. danny, bring us up to speed here. >> good morning, rahel. i actually just left the courthouse where we are watching closing remarks, and they are incredibly intense and the prosecution began by contrasting and other wise beautiful morning on october 17th, 2018 at the tree of life church where people were in their regular pews, and the handbooks were being handed out, and then robert bowers turning this sacred house of worship into a hunting ground. he killed jewish people just because they were jewish, and the prosecution went back to show that it was a number of

graphic and intense horrible in that synagogue. it was visceral and brutal, and i have to say that the family members, we could see them in the main rows in tand listening to the prosecution as he said every word. they emphasized that bowers showed no remorse. he only stopped shooting, because he ran out of ammunition, to illustrate the point that the prosecution has been proving this whole time that bowers was there to kill jewish people because they were jewish. this is going to wait for the defense to bring up a closing argument, and they have not brought up a single witness, and this is what they will have to say, because they are going to be focused on the next phase if bowers is convicted, the death

drills a drill. they are carried out over the past five days or so, and i went to one of the days, and i can confirm they are significant in scale. what i have noticed as well is that the scenario is clear cut. usually the scenario is that they are training against an enemy, but this time, it is far more blatent the sheer firepower was a reaction by the u.s. and so that is widely condemned by pyongyang, and also the south korean president was also at the live fire drills auz was the south korean commander who was fatsfied and thrilled watching the drills.

welcome back. scientists are scratching their heads as to why a pod of orca ises ramming and sinking boats off the coast of spain. this shows killer whales bit off boat rutters. this was happening near spain. it's one of a series encounters of them sparking debate as to what's prompting all this behavior. spanish authorities now warning sailors to leave the area if they see anything unusual. you wouldn't have to tell me twice. let's bring in jeff corwin actually on a boat to help sort facts from fears. great to have you. it looks like a great shot where

you are. so it does seem like there has an increase in these type of att attacks. what is prompt ing this? >> yes, i can report with confidence no orcas here. i'm safe. all is well. but that would not be the case in spain. it's really incredible what we're seeing when it comes to really novel animal behavior. we have always known that orca whales are really intelligent as most of the marine mammals that includes the dolphins, port pouss and whale, but this is really unique. so what has likely happened is one individual whale, a very dominant female leader of a pod, she had a negative traumatic encounter with a boat. she was probably hit by a boat. there's been a number of accounts where boats have hit whales in this part of europe.

so she has associated this boat as danger, as the enemy. so she has taken upon herself to attack these boat when is they come too close. but even more incredibly, she's taught this behavior, this response, this defense, then offense to other members of her pod. >> let's delve into that a little more. if you need to whisper so you don't alarm or disrupt any of the orcas who maybe lurking, taught and learn behavior among orcas. how far can it go? is this something that can literally be passed on from whale to whale to whale? >> well, that's a really great question. i don't think they will be solving cold fusion in the future of orr casss, but it is amazing. they learn from their environment. they discover. they explore.

also play is a big part of the life of an orca whale and other dolphin like whales. so through play exploration and discovery, they pickup behaviors and learn and respond in ways that allow them to adapt to their environment. so yes, she has learned that for her, shups, specifically sailboats, they seem to be targeting sailboats. then she teaches that behavior to other whales. then other whales teach that behavior to other members of the pod or other transient whales in the area. this is nothing new. we have seen this with hunting techniques. off the coast of south america, orca whales can beach themselves to grab seals and bring them into the water. they teach that hafr to their offspring. whales will cut through ice to trap seals in the arctic. a behavior they then teach.

these are very smart critters. they learn, they discover, they make those discoveries and share them with other members of their community. >> and jeff, are they also very playful figures because one theory that i saw floating around is maybe some of these are just young orcas who are being playful. what do you think about that theory? >> absolutely. play is a big part of their lives. they like to be stimulated by the environment. we see them play with sharks, with other creatures, they will play with seaweed. all sorts of things. because when you have the big brain, you need a lot of stimulation going on or you get bored. so i do believe there maybe some play involved here with these whales, but i think it originates from one whale that had this negative encounter with a sailboat, has learned from that and is sharing that novel behavior on to other members of her community. >> it's amazing.
