cnn's senior white house correspondent phil mattingly joins me now. s the president planning to go to highland park? >> reporter: yeah, alisyn, he was asked this morning. he said he didn't know yet, but if he does, it would certainly track with something that has become almost one of the more routine, if tragic, issues that the president has been dealing with over the course of his first 16, 17, 18 months in office. the flags are lowered to half-mast. the president signs a resolution. he travels to a place of a mass shooting. he grieves with families. he meets with families. and then he calls for action. now, after the last set of shootings in buffalo and in uvalde, that call for action actually resulted in legislation. the most significant gun safety legislation in more than three decades. the president signed it into law just a couple weeks ago, and yet here the country is again. last night, the president -- the white house fourth of july celebration with military families, he called for a moment of silence. he referred to the shooting, made clear mo

phil mattingly, cnn, the white house. >>> well, i want to bring in political analyst michael genoveseank you so much for joining us, michael. >> my pleasure. >> so, the u.s. president said, there's much more work to be done to stop this gun violence, and that seems to be an understatement. when you lukook at the number o mass shootings in the u.s., more massacres than there have been days. what else is achievable in the near future? >> well, president biden is politically vulnerable. he has a razor thin majority in the house and 50/50 split in the senate, so, politically, he's on pretty thin ice. there is a bipartisan effort right now going on that has reached agreement on some very minor things that will be helpful, but not enough. the problem is that every time we have a mass shooting, which seems to come every other week, we follow a kind of a script. mass shooting takes place, republicans say it's not the time for politics, it's a time for prayer. democrats say, well, let's roll out the old stale reforms. and in, effect, nothing gets done, because the forces against reform, the na

details now from phil mattingly. >> reporter: senior white house advisers are framing this first trip to the middle east as a critical moment to reengage or reinforce the u.s. role in a strategically consequential region of the world, something that has become more acute in the last several months in the wake of russia's invasion of ukraine. it will be a three stop trip, israel, west bank and saudi arabia. and while every aspect of the trip will be scrutinized with a focus on economic stability and even potential global food crisis, no question that all eyes will mostly be trained when the problem arrives in saudi arabia, a kingdom that he referred to as something that he wanted to make a pariah state back in 2019 when he was campaigning for president in the wake of the murder of jamal khashoggi. jake sullivan says that the president doesn't regret those remarks, he hasn't walked them back, but there is a strategic reality and strategic interest at this point for the u.s. take a listen. >> america's values, human rights, are a strategic interest of the united states. so is energy secu

let's bring in phil mattingly, who is live for us at the white house. phil, how is the biden administration reacting to this news? >> publicly, there has been silence so far. i think a big reason for that is exactly what fik laid out just moments ago, the uncertainty on the time line, uncertainty on the process, the uncertainty about pretty much everything besides the fact that boris johnson will event ally at some point be stepping down. it's causing everybody in the international community to be holding back in terms of what they want to see in the next steps forward. i think it is important to note the u.s. and uk have a special relationship, the relationship existed throughout the course of boris johnson's time in office. but the relationship between president biden and the prime minister hasn't been as warm as perhaps past ones have. they have a working relationship, a relationship that has grown over the course of the last 18 months particularly when it comes to the west's response to ukraine. johnson has been a steadfast ally. and the u.s. has rel

cnn's phil mattingly joins us from the white house. what are you learning?resident say on this call? >> reporter: the wife of brittney griner has been asking for weeks to speak to the president about her wife, unlawfully detained, as the u.s. said. she spoke with national security adviser jake sullivan and secretary of state blinken and it wasn't until today she spoke to vice president harris and president biden. it was to assure the u.s. is working hard to get brittney griner released as well as paul whaleen, another american held in russia at this point in time. the genesis of this phone call seems to be the private letter, she wrote to president biden. he read that yesterday morning. in that, she said she is terrified she may be here forever, made it clear, she didn't want him to forget about her and other hostages overseas. the president drafted a response. it was red to sherell on the phone and he made it clear to the wife he and the administration will be in regular process in. brew the president and vice president making sure they are very much workin

phil mattingly is trailing the president of saudi arabia.is the white house responding to all the criticism over the fist bump? >> you know, what officials knew going into this meeting, there would be likely a political cost and significant criticism and blowback. but there was a strategic calculation that the risk was too great to leave the relationship with saudi arabia in limbo. a cold shoulder the president has given the crown prince over the course of his first 18 months was no longer sustainable. certainly because saudi arabia is one of the largest players in the oil markets. gas prices have been skyrocketing for months in the u.s. it is something the president, when addressed with the most tpa fierce and visceral criticism. >> two questions, if i may. we heard from jamal khashoggi's wife, said after this, the blood of mbs's next victim is on his hands. >> i was straightforward back then. i was straightforward today. i'm sorry she feels that way. i didn't come here to meet with the crown prince. i came here to meet with the gcc, nine n

phil mattingly is in jeddah for the president's trip. so what does the white house believe biden accomplished, particularly on this last day while in the middle east? >> reporter: fred, this was a day of rapid fire, one-on-one meetings between the president and top leaders in the region. and his most sustained effort to lay out his theory of the case for a way that the u.s. sees this part of the world. a critical part of the world. perhaps most importantly a dramatically changing part of the world. the president making clear, probably in one of the truer statements he made all weekend, this is a very different region than when he was vice president as alliances have shifted, regional contributions have shifted and the president making clear that the u.s. has a role as those shifts transpire. that sound you played from the president up top from his remarks today, that was an important moment. making clear to the leaders that were gathered here earlier today, that the u.s. was indeed engaged and not turn a blind eye because there very real
