trump's alleged co-conspirator is set to plead not guilty in the classified documents case as new details about surveillance video that apparently shows him moving boxes at mar-a-lago. in 2020 south carolina helped joe biden win the democratic presidential nomination, propelled him there. now he is making a return visit as he runs for re-election. south carolina congressman and biden campaign co-chair jim clyburn with us live this hour. "cnn this morning" begins right now. ♪ ♪ just hours from now donald trump's personal aide and alleged co allegeallege co-con co-conspirator walt nauta will testify. it's shedding light on his role in allegedly hiding boxes of highly classified documents from
5:02 am
federal agents. the fbi obtained surveillance video of nauta moving dozens of boxes in and out of a storage room before the justice department showed up for that planned visit to retrieve any and all classified documents that trump still. carlos suarez is live outside the courthouse. what's gonna happen today? >> reporter: well, victor and poppy, good morning. so this is the third court hearing for 40-year-old walt nauta. the first time he had trouble finding an attorney here in miami that would represent him. the second time around bad weather kept him from traveling to south florida. we expect his appearance in court at his arraignment later this morning to be brief. he is expected to plead not guilty to obstruction charges and to lying to federal investigators. now, prosecutors say was nauta who moved dozens of boxes that contained classified documents from a storage room at trump's mar-a-lago resort to other parts of the property and that he lied
5:03 am
about the entire thing. prosecutors say that this was all in an effort to keep one of trump's attorneys from finding these classified documents that been subpoenaed by a grand jury. now, the federal government says that they have surveillance video as you mentioned of nauta moving these boxes around the property before the fbi searched mar-a-lago for those classified documents. nauta, who served as trump's military valet is his personal aide and is he expected in federal court in downtown miami at his arraignment later this morning. in fact, two of them, the former president trump as well as nauta, have been together since essentially trump's arraignment here in south florida last month, last week the two of them spotted in philadelphia where the former president had a political appearance. guys. >> carlos suarez live in miami, thanks very much.
5:04 am
the special counsel's investigation in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results is ramping up. we have known georgia has been a key focus. we have not heard as much about arizona. at least until now. last night former arizona house speaker rusty bowers, who rejected pressure from donald trump and allies, spoke to kaitlan collins and said this. >> we talked about your call with trump and giuliani. they were both on that phone call. have you been subpoenaed by special counsel? >> i -- that's a great question. i -- i'm hesitant to talk about any subpoenas, et cetera, but i have been interviewed by the fbi. >> in the january 6th investigation? excuse me. in the effort to overturn the election results. >> correct. it was four hours of a discussion that they had with me.
5:05 am
>> according to a new report in the "arizona republic," the special counsel sought information on two lawsuits. one from the trump campaign, another from former arizona republican party chair kelli ward that alleged fraud and errors in the election results. and this comes on the heels of reporting that donald trump pressured doug ducey to overturn the results with ducey totaling donor that he was surprised jack smith not called him. >> a dramatic turn of events for the russian mercenary leader accused of launching that rebellion. the president of belarus tells matthew chance that yevgeny prigozhin is in russia, in st. petersburg to be exact, instead of living in exile in belarus. remember that agreement? meanwhile, russian state media report police raided prigozhin's home and office in st. petersburg last week. the russian government claimed it was dropping charges against him. during the raids russian police say they uncovered stashes of
5:06 am
gold, money, guns, wigs and several passports allegedly belonging to the mercenary leader under different aliases. matthew chance joins us live in minsk. you just spoke directly with and posed to questions to the belarusian president alexander lukashenko. what did you learn. >> reporter: you don't get much opportunity to speak to the leader of belarus. it's a difficult autocratic country to access. you have to be specially invited. we did this for this incredible scene here. the palace of independence, marble-clad, the presidential office is where we met alexander lukashenko. the main topic that we wanted to know about is what of that deal that he supposedly brokered to the end the rebellion in russia last month and to bring prigozhin and his wagner fighters here. take a listen to what alexander lukashenko had to say. i wonder if you could provide us
5:07 am
all with a bit of an update on the whereabouts of the wagner leader yevgeny prigozhin. is he in belarus or not? >> translator: in terms of yevgeny prigozhin, he is in st. petersburg, or maybe this morning he would travel to moscow or elsewhere. but he is not on the territory of belarus now. >> reporter: extraordinary. not in the territory of belarus. a week or so ago alexander lukashenko said he was on the territory of belarus. so he has contradicted, the positions change. when you couple that with the video out of russian state television of yevgeny prigozhin's -- being raided in st. petersburg, gold seized, cash, wigs, photographs, pass sorts, it implies this deal supposedly negotiated is being renegotiate bid the kremlin and that may not end well for wagner leader. poppy. >> matthew chance for us there
5:08 am
from minsk, thank you so much. cnn senior global affairs analyst bianna golodryga joins us now. big surprise from president lukashenko. >> it's fascinating. it's speculating as much as you guys are. everyone watching this space for the past few days, people trying to decide whether some sightings of a man who may or may not be prigozhin are true, st. petersburg, moscow, there is some internet sleuths that suggested they spotted a bodyguard who liked like the man always with prigozhin up until this mutiny. listen, i still believe i would not take out life insurance on this man is something that i said last week and i stand by that. i don't believe he is long for this world. that doesn't mean he is in imminent danger in the next week or two or month. i think vladimir putin doesn't know what to do with him. he was a huge value, an asset for him with wagner all of these
5:09 am
years. now does seem to -- and doesn't matter whether he is in belarus or russia. they are one and the same and he can extradite to russia anytime he wanted to. i think for vladimir putin perhaps now is a time where he wants to focus on making prigozhin irrelevant to the russian people. what happened last week was a shock to the system, russians greeting him and cheering him on leaving rustov. you saw prigozhin's popularity go up. since then, since the public speeches from vladimir putin it has gone back down. and i think when you are seeing with raids of his buildings and his homes and his office space is all meant to sort of emass cue late him and make him look smaller. they have taken control of wagner away from him. maybe it's an opportunity for russians to not view him as the hero of war as he was presenting himself to be. >> jill dougherty last hour said something interesting. there is what to do with
5:10 am
prigozhin and what to do with wagner, with his former mercenary troops, if you will. how do you distinguish that and the impact of it currently on the war in ukraine? like are they just bringing those forces back into russia trying to put them back into russian armed forces? >> many they say, according to russians, have signed up for the russian military, which is an option that vladimir putin gave them. they were a huge value for vladimir putin for so many years to sort of be had private mercenary group that he didn't have plausible deniability. >> not just in ukraine. >> yes, bringing in billions of dollars revenue. vladimir putin acknowledged what most of us suspected and a was that this organization, though it might have seemed private was funded by the russian state. and so all of the money that he says that prigozhin had said all along that he was bringing in and the revenue they were
5:11 am
generating, putin said, no, no, that wasn't something you did. it was something we gave you. now it's a matter of time to see where these fighters go, if in fact the offers that putin, you know, gave them, that he stands by them. did some of these men go home? doesn't look like many bent to belarus. and we saw some return to bases in ukraine and eastern ukraine as well. time will tell. >> some of the other reporting. this bombing of a residential area in lviv next door to the polish border there, nato ally. and the flight or the plane, the russian jet that clipped a drone over syria. do you think there is some overlap here of the last two weeks of putin and prigozhin and trying to reassert, trying to, i guess, egg on the west? is there some connection here or am i drawing that unduly? >> i think anybody that thought
5:12 am
what we saw take place with this muti would bring this war to an end, that's not going to happen. that continues to happen on the battlefield and why we see these illegal agents of war targeting civilians and going as far as lviv and western ukraine. russians are aware of the meeting in lithuania next week. nato members. so i think all of this is sort of russia again showing its muscle and saying what you have been seeing and what happened with this prigozhin mutiny might have been an embarrassment for us but our mission continues and the head of the war, the minister of dev, shoigu, still in place and the general there as well. >> let me be more precise. there was a missile that hit that residential area in kyiv. i used the word bombing. in lviv. my apologies. u.s. treasury secretary

janet yellen has arrived in beijing. she will be trying to deepen communications between the u.s. and her chinese counterparts on a range of issues, including, obviously, these two dueling economies of superpowers. yellen not expected to meet with chinese president xi jinping. this visit also is aimed at cooling tension between washington around beijing after president biden called xi a dictator last month you remember right after secretary of state antony blinken returned from his trip to china. yellen will be there until sunday. president biden is heading to south carolina today. he plans to tout his record on the economy t we'll talk to the co-chair of biden's re-election campaign south carolina congressman james clyburn next. e a good throwback? [sfx: video game sound] new emergen-c crystals. throw it back.
5:17 am
today as president biden seeks re-election he is traveling to the state that helped put him in the oval office in the first place, south carolina. his focus will be on what is now called bidenomics. according t white house he will hone in on how his policies are spurring manufacturing investments anwe paying jobs across the cnt. according to a recent ap poll, biden's got his work cut out for him. 64% of americans tis approve of his handling of the economy and today marks the president's first trip to south carolina since 2021, his first time there since the d dnc designated it. joining us james clyburn. congressman, good morning. great to have you. that's not really welcome polling for a campaign that is really betting bidenomics as the
5:18 am
president heads to your state. when you also look at the polling it shows 35% of people, only 35% of voters have a great deal of confidence or a fair amount of confidence in president biden on the economy. he has a lot of ground to make up, does he not? >> well, thank you very much for having me. you know, i think that what we are witnessing in the country today is that people are sour on almost everything. and i think that it's for a good reason. we have not spent enough time accentuating the positives that exist today. i was a co-chair or the chair of the covid-19 committee and people really got in pretty sour moods during that pandemic and we are trying to get out of it. we came out of the administration that talked about infrastructure every other day and never spent one dime on
5:19 am
infrastructure. joe biden has put the infrastructure program in place and people are just beginning to experience it. and i think as we go on, people see the connection. he is here to talk about what his infrastructure program has done for the country and what it has tun for south carolina. i do believe that in coming months people are going to see that. >> all right. we are having some audio issues. we are going to try to fix this audio and come back with the congressman or just barrel through? all right. we got one more question for you, congressman. sometimes the gremlins in the system mess up a good conversation. but you say that he's got some work to do and people are sour on everything. let's go specifically to a winthrop university poll that is specifically on south carolina. 44% of the people there say that their finances are worse off now, far more than those who say
5:20 am
they are better or about the same. what does he have to do? is it all rhetoric or is there new policy that's necessary to bring south carolinans along? well, we have to [ indiscernible ] joe biden. we have the new -- joe biden is bringing the new program here. we have got to show that that is a result of the chips and science bill. we see malling -- in south carolina. it's been a problem for years. it's now being fixed. they have to see that it's because of joe biden's infrastructure program. the inflation reduction act, seniors are now paying $35 a month for insulin when they have been paying 700 and $800 a month. they have to know that it's joe biden's inflation reduction act.
5:21 am
that's what with f we've got to do. we have got to get people to see these things are happening and it's the reason -- and the reason for it is joe biden. >> all right, congressman clyburn, thank you so much for your time. of course, we will be watching the president today in south carolina. >> thank you very much for having me. the july 4th holiday overshadowed by a series of mass shootings. over the last four days, what will a republican president do to stop the bloodshed? we will ask former congressman and 2024 presidential candidate will hurd about that next. thins you your fico® scorere, you can get your credit card recommendations, and it shows you ways to save money. do so much more than get your fico® scocore. download the experian app now.

5:26 am
lashed out at politicians who he says stand in the way of reasonable gun reform. here is what he told us yesterday. >> it's time for people who are running for office to swear off nra money, swear off gun lobby money, swear off this absurd interpretation of the second amendment put out there by militias. >> joining us former texas congressman will hurd, good morning. good to have you here. first time having you on the program since you announced your running. you have had an a rating from the nra and pushed or universal background checks. if you were president would would you sign a federal ban on assault weapons? >> i don't think, first off, a federal ban on assault weapons is going to get to president's desk, and, two, i don't think that is the solution that's going to solve all of our problems. some of the solutions that would solve the current problem is
5:27 am
things like universal background checks. 80% of americans agree on that. 80% of americans agree that a high caliber high-capacity long gun you should be the same age to purchase that as you are to purchase a handgun, which is 21. and then also the issue around providing support to -- on mental health. everybody wants to talk about mental health when these things happen. in between these terrible events, we are not doing anything to ensure that people have access to mental health that we know who to call if we are aware of something that is potentially happening, and then when you look at the events of the last weekend, further support to law enforcement so that they have resources, the bodies, the manpower in order to patrol their streets. >> i am going to take that as a no on an assault weapon ban. we had one in this country. it expired. the issue of abortion. you expressed support for a
5:28 am
15-week ban on abortion. you voted twice for a 20-week ban on aworgs. i thought it was notable a year after roe v. wade was overturn, so just a few weeks ago, a survey from ob/gyns and they found concern for maternal health. they found that since the ruling nationwide they say two-thirds of them have found it is worsened their ability to respond to pregnancy-related emergencies and exacerbated pregnancy-related mortality. you tweeted in may of last year i believe we shouldn't continue to fail women before, during and after pregnancy. do those statistics show that we are failing pregnant women now? >> of course they do. and look, if a 15-week abortion ban came to my desk i would sign it. also i think states that are restricting this need to be making sure that they have the best maternal health care, the best neonatal care.
5:29 am
when you look at the numbers of black women having birth, it's the number of deaths is worse than many countries in the developing world. that's absolutely outrageous. you shouldn't in the united states of america, if you're an expectant mom, shouldn't be a fear that you could potentially die in childbirth. and so, yes, we are failing women by not making sure they have access to the resources that they need before and after after pregnancies. >> one of the requirements to get on the debate stage and now on ballot in florida is to sign a loyalty pledge to whoever the republican nominee is. you told my colleague and friend dana bash i can't lie to get access to a microphone. i am not going to support donald trump. even if it cost you a shot at the presidency, even if it you cost you getting on a ballot in florida, even if it cost you getting on a debate stage? >> i can't lie, poppy. the issue is not with me
5:30 am
supporting a republican nominee. the issue is i am not going to support donald trump. and here's why. donald trump is a proven loser. he hasn't won since 2016. we know all the numbers. he lost the house in 2018. he lost the senate and the white house in 2020. he prevented a red wave where we thought that kevin mccarthy was going to have a 35 to 40-seat majority in the house and ended up being five. he is someone who is not even willing to sign the pledge and doesn't want to debate, right. and he is someone that is cavalier and careless with our national secrets aendangering te lives of thousands of men and women who make -- who put thems them themself hs to deep us safe. i can't support that. i can't say i do it and then change my mind. i can't do it. >> okay. tim balalberta wrote two interesting profiles of you. one in 2017.
5:31 am
and he wrote about an experience you at texas a&m, you're a senior, you are ruinfor student body president. hurd and friends hoped for buzz by painting ping pong balls with a black smile and yellow face and dumping them into a campus fountain but the balls wash neighborhood a corner and went unnoticed. how do you avoid repeating the ping pong ball stunt again because what worked for you is when you changed strategies and went out and shook everyone's hand you said i am a dark horse candidate. how do you make sure that experience doesn't repeat itself in your run for the white house? >> one, we are not going to paint ping pong balls. it would be hard to put an "r" on a ping pong ball. here is the issue. you know, i ran for office in 2009. nobody thought a black republican could win in a 72% latino district. i won the primary.
5:32 am
went to a run yauchl. i won the primary by 900 votes and lost the runoff by 700 votes. here is what i learned. you've got to i.d. your voters and turn them out. it's not complicated. it's just hard. we know the people that are interested in a candidate that's not afraid of donald trump but is afterticulating a vision fore future. when you were talking to in your previous segment about the problems with joe biden's numbers, even democrats, independents want to see something different. we know who those people are and we are working to make sure, you know, we get the 40,000 people to two hurd for america.com and give at least a dollar, i will try to have the requirements to get on the debate stage in order to take this message to people. we nono who they are. we are going to talk to them. that's why i was the north country of new hampshire, the first presidential candidate to go that part of the state this cycle. i was in the rain and walking in
5:33 am
parades. that's the februn part to me. i actually like people. we will take this message to folks because people are ready for something different. we need common sense. >> something that is striking about the way that you have run your offices before in politics is something that alberta points out in his profile of you. how many democrats you have employed. i mean, he talks about your veteran case worker not shy about denouncing the republican party. your district staffer headache shangri-la shaking her head when asked if she is a republican. your chief of staff used to work for a democrat. i am interested in if you were to make it to the white house would you bring democrats to work with you? would they be in your cabinet? >> well, i want to bring -- so this is a long way off to think through those issues. but i am going to bring the best people that i trust who is going to get the job done -- >> that's a nonanswer. you talked about how important it is to -- >> it is.
5:34 am
look, i am also not going to, you know, is there a scenario in which i can see me putting democrats in an administration? of course, right? but saying that i have clear plans to do that right now is not the case. and ultimately what i want, i want smart people that are going to be able to help us deal with things like how to ensure that artificial intelligence doesn't upend every industry and leads to actually improve jobs, not unemployment. how are we going to finally deal and win this new cold war with the chinese government. i need the best minds. and if some are democrats, then of course we will evaluate that. but making that pledge right now would be difficult for me to do. >> you just brought up a.i. and you brought this up last time you were on the program noting a poll that says 65% of americans are concerned that a.i. is going to take their jobs. you also touted in your words writing the first national strategy on a.i. can you actually tell people what that would mean if you were to be president?
5:35 am
what you would do? you are onboard, for example, of openai, the creator of chatgpt. you know, that's accelerating this. what would you do as president that would save those jobs? >> sure. so first and foremost, artificial intelligence is here and it's coming ands going to upend every industry not in ten years but in two, three years. and the first thing that i would do is work with congress to pass legislation that says a.i. has to follow the law. period, full stop. we have a number of rules to protect our civil liberties, protect our civil rights, and we shouldn't carve technologies out from that legislation. that would be the first thing. second thing. poppy, you and i can't build a nuclear power plant without getting some kind you have permits. so if you have a tool and an a.i. system that is powerful and we could define what powerful is. hey, this has got to be submitted to some kind of review and permitting process.
5:36 am
maybe nist, the national institute of standards and technology. that would be the second thing. then, three, we would be making sure that identifying the skills that our kids are going to need that we start getting those even as early as middle school. we should have coding in middle school, in every middle school, and when it comes to high school we should have things like advanced statistics so that our kids are ready for jobs that don't exist today. >> put a button on it, the permitting you talked about in the second part of your answer means something like chatgpt, which again you are on the board of openai, wouldn't be allowed under a hurd presidency? wouldn't be allowed to be on the market without being permitted? >> that is correct. well, you would have to a -- some kind of a review. we know some of the things that we should, you know, al algorithm shouldn't do in order to protect people's rights, not
5:37 am
be biased, make sure that it's not doing things that you don't intend it to do. so, yes, before those things were -- were able to be put out in wild there should be review and permitting. most the companies involved this space are supportive of this concept and this idea because they recognize the tools are being so powerful, like the best analogy i can make for artificial intelligence is its equivalent to nucfish nuclear fission. nuclear fission uncontrolled gives you nuclear weapons. we need to take the steps now while we can and remember that this is not about us perfecting -- is a race. and our existential threat, the chinese government, is trying to do the same thing and they are not developing this tool with the idea of protecting civil liberties and protecting civil rights and minds. so that this is why this has
5:38 am
ramifications all over the world. >> will hurd, thank you very much. please come back. >> of course. let's get into it now with political analyst and anchor onavalon, margaret hoover and elie honig. i have been taking notes on grunts and hmms and okay while you have been watching that interview with will hurd. john, let me start with you. on this pledge, he says he can't lie. he won't lie. he won't sign it. he won't get on to the stage by rnc rules if he doesn't. >> this is a double blind that the rnc is playing, right, because trump -- this not a typical candidate. this a former president. he listed all these reasons you hear from some republicans. he has been a loser he tried to overturn an election.
5:39 am
it's reasonable for candidates to say i couldn't support him. and so the rnc needs to create flexibility around that reality rather than creating this group think that forces everybody in to positions that people don't hold as a matter of conscious. >> what did you think of his reasoning? >> it's terrible. you don't say we don't support donald trump because he is a loser because he is losing until he winning. he was a loser when he came down the escalator and then he started winning and everyone loves him. you have to make a moral argument that this man cares more about himself and his own narcissism than the constitution of the united states, than our national security secrets. t the problem will hurd is going to have, and i like him, i am glad he is in the race, he has to have 40,000 individual donors from 20 different states. he has to have 1% in polling. from the early primary states with polls that have 800 self-identified republican gop voters in their sample.
5:40 am
so this -- the rnc has created credibly difficult standards. the flpledge is the least of it. difficult standards for any candidate to get on the stage. the pledge, forget it about it. chris christie will saign it. so the pledge isn't the hard part. the hard part is the rnc a wholly owned subsidiary of trump, inc. is making it impossible for anyone to get on stage in a fairway. >> his answer about making private companies get this -- so he is saying, for example, that chatgpt couldn't be put out without government regulation was an interesting sort of big government statement from a republican as it has to do with the private sector. i was interested in what you thought about that. >> he should be talking about a.i. everyone running for president, all of us should be talking about a.i. all the time. it is the most important thing that's happening technologically
5:41 am
that interest transform society. we have a long pattern of america of technology outpacing laws and the point about nuclear fission, whatever, whatever parallel you want to make. we need rules of the road. make sure there are common-sense measures. that's not necessarily big government. we can't allowed the horse to get out of the barn -- >> congress hasn't been able to pass anything to regulate -- >> not even on social media. >> how do you do that? >> will hurd has some interesting, i think, and bold ideas. this idea of an a.i. review and licensing board is not going to fly. first of all, there are first amendment concerns. second, how do you do that? what qualifies? if some individual who has a sound board in his house wants to create an a.i. version of a song, does that have to go through the board? if a graphic designer wants to use a.i. to come up with logo, does that have to go through board? it's good he is on the forefront
5:42 am
of a.i., but an all-seeing licensing and approval board is not going to ham. >> i give credit to him for putting ideas out there. the new technology, we got to do something about it. i mean, sam altman himself the founder of chatgpt says i welcome regulation, let's be partners in this and industry nee needs to work with government. government just be a half beat behind industry as in every technological innovation. >> thank you, guys, very much. we appreciate it. the man accused of targeting former president obama's home did so after trump truth social posts. what trump shared to his millions of followers ahead. - i got the cabin for three days.. it's gonna be sweet! what? i'm 12 hours short.

5:46 am
this week prosecutors say that taylor taranto began live-streaming in the area shortly after resharing trump's post. filing also notes that taranto made previous threats against house speaker kevin mccarthy and democratic congressman jamie raskin. taranto has not yet been charged in connection with the last week indictment. separately, taranto had an open warrant for his arrest related to the january 6th capitol attack. joining us is cnn's chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller. john, i wonder if we are just in a different landscape. there have been threats against presidents, sure. but now to consider that as part of this is a posting from a previous president, are we in a completely different space? >> we are. and it started off with the unwritten rule that former presidents didn't, you know, bash current presidents. that went out the window a while ago. this takes a different step when a former president is posting.
5:47 am
