1, to serve his sentence for contempt of congress ban. and now on the brink of joining a growing list of trump inside editor's who have been, or who are currently behind bars welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm will blitzer, a urine in this situation room our top story tonight, president biden where's the american heroes who stormed the beaches of france 80 years ago in defense of freedom and delivers a warning to the world that democracy is engraved danger. again. see their senior white house correspondent, kayla tausche is traveling with the president. she's joining us live from paris right now. kayla, the president, sent a message tailored for this moment. amid war overseas and his reelection campaign right here at home well, if it was a profoundly moving de of events in normandy is allied leaders remember the events of 80 years ago that protected many of the freedoms we enjoy today. >> and president biden use the lessons of history to draw on to issue a warning about the future that get the battle front where they braved it all a hero's welcome for the americans who lived through the battle of normandy the memory of those who fought here died, here, literally saved the world here, president biden, honoring the service and the sacrifice of the last living d-day veterans the hundreds of thousands who served alongside them. >> and then 9,388 who never came home. >> they new and beyond any doubt there are things that are worth fighting and dying for freedom is worth it democracy is worth it america is worth the world is worth then. now and always western leaders marking 80 years since they're turning point in world war ii, that brought an end to occupied europe. we're living at a time when democracy and more risk across the world, than a point since the end the war for war to, since these beaches were stormed in 1944 now i have to ask ourselves, when we stand against tyranny, against evil now, with ukraine's president looking on warning, europe could easily be occupied again, this time by vladimir putin, a notable shift from just ten years ago with putin joining to mark the 70th anniversary, we will not walk away because if we do, ukraine will be subjugated and it will not end there ukraine's neighbors will be threatened all of europe will be threatened to surrender to bullies, to bow down to dictators is simply unthinkable. >> biden is set to meet with european and nato liters with alliances resting on upcoming elections, biden laying out a choice for the future on both sides of the atlantic are chelation was not the answer. 80 years there's a ago. and is not the answer today. >> and passing the torch from the greatest generation to the next generation, let us be the generation that one history is written about our time in 10203058 years from now, it'll be said when the moment came we met at the moment, we start strong our alliance has made stronger we save democracy in our time as well tomorrow, president biden will return to normandy where he will deliver a speech on the power of democracy from pointe-du-hoc, which is the land at the 100 foot cliffs that army rangers scale to destroy german artillery positions that they were using to fire on omaha and utah beaches on d-day, president and biden, i'm told by a senior administration official is expected to discuss the bravery of those young men focusing on the world war ii veterans, the example they said, and what we owed them now in our own democracy, of course, there will be parallels drawn to president ronald reagan's speech and 1984, marking the 40th anniversary where he delivered the speech flanked by world leaders at that same site, he focused then on the boy's of pointe-du-hoc an official say they're prepared for the comparisons. are kayla tausche but she in paris were a scalar. thank you very, very much joining me now the us secretary of defense, lloyd austin, he's joining us from the american cemetery in normandy, france on this d-day anniversary, mr. secretary, thanks so much for joining us. and of course it's a very powerful moment. it's been 80 years since d-day president biden says democracy is more at risk now than it has been since the end of world war ii what do you see as the greatest threat to democracy right now well, i mean there are a number of leaders who lean towards autocracy and there. >> and so i think that's the greatest threat. i think there's also a threat of us forgetting what this is all about what we can never forget we can never forget to be grateful for those who have gone before us and sacrifice so much and being here is a reminder of the tremendous sacrifices that our troops paid to ensure our freedom and it's it's those sacrifices that really gave birth to the rules-based international order that served us so well for so many years. and we ought to protect that we have to work hard to protect democracy is worth, worth having. but it's something that you have to, you have to work on. you have to fight for which is absolutely true on russia's war in ukraine right now, mr. secretary, president biden just said that putin is, and i'm quoting him now, is not a decent man. >> he's a dictator when defending his decision to let ukraine strike russian territory with us weapons only near kharkiv not far from the border with russia. what is the red line in ukraine right now? how far is the us willing to go in letting kyiv strike deeper into russia with us weapons when deemed necessary. >> well, if our policy using long-range strike a weaponry to go into russia as hasn't changed but what we have done is provided ukraine the ability to, counter fire, to fire back at those those russian troops that are firing at them. and to be able to take out their artillery batteries as they're firing at the ukrainians. and i think that's going to prove to be very, very helpful to the ukrainians going forward. >> i suspect you're right, that president biden is expected, as you know, to meet with ukrainian president zelenskyy during this trip to europe after there were some serious divisions here in the us, which caused a major delay in supplying desperately needed weapons to ukraine so how can the president promised that us support is ironclad, which he of course did today when support for the war is waning domestically here in the us well, as i have engaged members of congress on both sides in both parties i have seen throughout strong support for ukraine and even though it took a while to get the legislation through i was confident that the right thing was going to happen because anytime you see that type of support on both sides of the aisle for a cause? >> congress will find a way to get things done, which is what they did in this case, because it's the right thing to do. and ukraine matters, wolf, as you know, not just for ukraine. ukraine's purposes alone, not for europe alone. it matters for to us. and it matters to the entire globe. so we have to make sure that putin doesn't have the ability to trample ukraine. because as the president said, there's a good chance almost certain that putin won't stop there. he will continue to move forward in other acts of aggression so clearly, from your perspective, mr. secretary, the stakes for the us in this war in ukraine are enormous right now, right they are enormous for the u.s. >> and the world, quite frankly well let's talk a little bit about some other key issues while i have you, mr. secretary, not far from europe where you are right now, israel is fighting its war against hamas in gaza, just overnight, a un school sheltering civilians and central gaza was struck killing at least 45 people. >> a cnn analysis found israel used us munitions in that strike. how can the us push israel to better protect civilians when the flow of us weapons in this war has been mostly unimpeded i'll leave it to israel to talk about what happened in that strike what i can tell you is that we said from the very beginning that we're going to support israel's right to defend itself and we've done that from the very beginning. we at the same time, we haven't continued to encourage israel's leadership to be a thoughtful about making sure that they're reducing the number of civilian casualties have been way too many civilian casualties throughout this war and move the civilians out of the battlespace before conducting significant maneuver and i don't think accomplishing objectives and protecting civilians or mutually exclusive endeavors. i think you can do both. we've demonstrated that and i think happy to do that. i think that the way that you ensure long-term success is by making sure that you take the other civilian population strip them away. eventually stripped them away from hamas and demonstrate that hamas does not equal the palestinian people. but we have to have to take care of the palate opinion people flow more aid that humanitarian aid into the space and make sure that we're doing the right things to take care of them as you, know mr. secretary, when it comes to rafah in southern gaza, president biden told cnn in an interview, he won't supply the weapons to israel if israel goes into rafah. >> now israeli troops are in rafah, but you call this a limited operation, is the us moving the goal posts? so the president doesn't have to enforce chris what has been described as this red line we're not moving the goal post will fight. >> i think we've been clear that if they conduct a major operation for the gut into gaza and to our offer, the kind that we saw and guys will city and other places earlier, the nets that's a problem so what we've asked him to do is move the civilians out of the battlespace to be more precise in terms of their they're operations and limit the amount of collateral damage. and so far they've maneuvered along the along the border and we've not seen a major movement into rafah adjunct this point. so we'll continue to watch this i'm sure you will. the president in that recent interview he gave to time magazine was asked if israeli forces have committed war crimes in gaza. and he said, i'm quoting him now, it's uncertain. can you say mr. secretary, if israel has committed war crimes in gaza? >> i'll echo what the president said is uncertain because these are things that have to be investigated and i believe that the israelis, will do that going forward as they see incidental though, i'll do the right thing by investigating. this is a professional force and we would expect that they do are the kinds of things that professional force is do. make sure that they're doing the right thing. so employ the weapons appropriately and also, if there if there are problems, let's talk the gate. those problems to and learn from that yeah, go ahead. >> finish your thought i'm finished. >> go ahead. i want to add while i have you, mr. secretary, sorry for interrupting. >> i want to talk about what's going on with china, right now. you met face-to-face with your chinese counterpart on friday just after china held major military drills and circling taiwan how would the us respond if china's stopped short of an invasion of taiwan? but decides to blockade the island well woolf, as you know, i won't speculate on on any kind of hypotheticals. >> what i will tell you is that no my job is to provide options for the president and we maintain the capability to do a range of things in the region, if called upon to do that. but we have been clear that we don't want to see a unilateral change of the status quo and we want to make sure that we're doing things to move things in towards greater stability and security in the region. now, when i met with my counterpart i think it's important that we have a dialogue. we continue to have a dialogue well but you, as you would expect, i voiced my concerns about some of the things that we've seen in the region. and will continue to do so going forward. but unless you're talking to each other you don't have the ability to prevent miscalculations and address misperceptions this, is a, good first step, but there's a lot more that needs to be done in terms of engaging and in terms of moving things in the right direction. >> well, good luck on that front. it's a very, very sensitive, potentially very dangerous situation. for, the us military and us national security where our time is limited. i want to get your quick thought, mr. secretary, on the fbi director christopher wray, recently saying that domestic and international terrorism are some of the most consequential threats against the united states right now what is in your view, mr. secretary the most concerning threat against the united states right now well i mean, there are a number of first of all, protection of the homeland is my top priority. and we will continue to work with other agencies and government to make sure that we're doing just sat staying in front of any potential threat there are a number of challenges that we continue to face. we're going to do everything that we can to prevent any act of terrorism. but again, the fbi has elite in terms of domestic activity here and certainly will do everything we can to support other agencies in this endeavor in terms of specific threats wolf, as you would expect, i won't i won't go into any intelligence matters here on camera. >> of course, the president, president biden is expected to draw contrast with donald trump in a major speech tomorrow, you mentioned to me earlier you're concerned about leaders threatening democracy where are you referring to the former president no. well, if i was not and again i leave it to leave it to my boss to outline what he believes is important. >> and eat typically gets it right before i let you go, mr. secretary, also want to quickly get your thoughts about your health. >> we were all concerned when you revealed your cancer diagnosis after a lack of transparency over surgery complications first of all, how are you feeling now i feel good. >> i will thanks for asking. >> happy to hear that makes me happy. but you're back to normal. would you say that? >> well, if you see me out here, are operating and doing my job, you've seen me just come off of a almost a ten day trip to the indo-pacific. and in each and every day, i'm fully engaged in carrying out the duties of secretary defense well, that makes us happy to hear that mr. secretary. good luck to you. thanks very much for joining us. we deeply appreciate it thanks. >> well and, just ahead exactly one week after becoming a convicted criminal donald trump is back in campaign mode tonight. what he's now saying about the verdict and its impact on his

hello conviction in the new york hush money case. >> and he's been boasting about the funds. he's raised off of the trial. cnn's kristen holmes is covering trump's event in the key battleground state of arizona right now, kristin, tell us, first of all, more about trump's message yeah. >> you can hear people booing right now. i'm not sure what donald trump is talking about, but he spoke for about an hour, which was supposed to be 15 minutes. it is an intro and now he's taking questions from voters in arizona and most of what he talked about focused on immigration, a problem that here in arizona incident space. very much very often because of the fact that they are on the border. so it's really hammering that messaging home. now the other thing he talked about, of course, was because they're trial in new york saying it was a rigged system and talking about how much money they re, is actually a giving a figure that we hadn't heard before. take a listen to what he said. >> it right after the announcement of this more campaign, funds were given to this campaign than any campaign they think in history almost $400, 400 no, it's never been nobody's ever seen okay so, first of all, the campaign told us that they raised $141 million in the month of may and that wasn't just after the verdict, but they didn't you didn't include that? >> off money. money that went to the super packs. there are three super pac, so we're trying to get clarification from the campaign as to what that $400,000,000 number is. but one thing is clear trump has been able to fund raise off of that case. they have been able to get bigger checks and they have been able to get small-dollar donors giving to them online. one of the things that happened here was charlie clerk early on took the stage and asked how many people in the audience donated after the verdict. and we heard a number of cheers, claps people saying that they would continue you to donate to donald trump. does remember when we talk about all of his messaging, one of the reasons that they keep talking about this trial, keep painting as political persecution is the fact that they believe that it's going to continue to help them with fundraising. they hope that they will help them politically, but that really remains to be seen is yes, the crowd over there in phoenix there is on kristen holmes. >> thank you very much. i want to bring in some of our political experts to break all of this down. and kristen salt, salt is anderson. what's your takeaway first of all, from trump's return to the campaign trail after his felony conviction. >> well, i thought it was interesting that kristen holmes pointed out two themes in his speech today immigration and the trial donald trump does best with swing voters when he's talking about issues, issues like immigration, issues like the economy, the sorts of things were voters who swung very heavily toward the gop in the last fewer to, where he does not fare as well as swing voters is when he is talking about things like his own legal troubles, when he is talking about what he intends to do on that front, if he were to ever take office and so it's interesting, you're going to see this push and pull between donald trump talking about issues and donald trump talking about his legal peril one of those is better first campaign than the other drive down near malika henderson's with this as well, nia trump is still clearly railing against his conviction on the heels of his fox interview with sean hannity last night, where he again suggested he would prosecute is political enemies. >> watch and listen to this we want to fix are focus on those that want people to believe that you want retribution that you will use the system of justice to go after your political. number one, they're wrong. it has to stop because otherwise we're not going to have by country look, when this election is over based on what they've done, i would have every right to go after them and this practice the weaponization, is that a promise you're going to make me have to do it but it's awful. i know you want me to say something. i don't want you to say. i don't want to look naive how dangerous is the end? you see it putting off swing voters listen i mean, i certainly, this idea that donald trump is going to use who's the department of justice to go after his enemies? you saw hanadi there. i tried to get him to walk away from that, but it really is become a theme of his campaign in some ways. it also is a throwback to 2016 with sort of lock her up chants around hillary clinton. and so you see in these interviews, time and time again, him hit on these themes about revenge, about which confucian he began his speech last week, right after he was found guilty in those 34 counts, he began that's each by saying, if they can come after me, they can come after you to what you see in the data. is that there, there is some movement away from donald trump after his conviction, particular among non on white voters and particularly among young voters and low information voters so listen, that is a troubling. i think sign for donald trump. we'll see where he goes. if he is able to do what i think it's christmas oldest anderson says he shouldn't do, which is to focus on issues like immigration, unlikely economy. and you see in the data that those issues do favor him over joe biden. people do think that the economy under donald trouble was better. and you, you've seen biden trying to lean into immigration, be a little a bit more hawkish on immigration because he knows that that's an achilles heel for democrats interesting, mega hayes is where this as well. >> she's a former special assistant to president biden, megan, how should the biden campaign strategize around trump's latest rhetoric? >> i mean, i think it just shows his character and he's always talking about the me, me, me. and it's interesting that he's bringing up issues like immigration in phoenix, but he's not bringing up abortion, which is a huge issue in arizona and joe biden won arizona by 10,000 votes. last time, i mean, that's a massive opportunity for him to try to get those swing voters back. we're going to vote on the margins and i just think it's a missed opportunity. i think the biden campaign will continue to campaign on reproductive health and some of the other issues just like he's campaigning on issues that are favorable for republicans. democrats will do the same, but i also think that the president has an opportunity interrelated, continue on the contrast message and donald trump is talking about retribution and revenge while president biden's out in france giving speeches about democracy and honoring our soldiers that lothar buys on d-day 80 years ago christine, you run a very fascinating, important piece article and i'm quoting now from your article, prison time is the real factor in the trump verdicts impact on 2024. >> why is that and does that mean if trump isn't sentenced to prison, voters might not care about his it's conviction so right now, the couple of polls that we've seen, including ones my own firm has done, have shown a little bit of movement in favor of joe biden. >> my polling has shown it mostly from undecided voters deciding to break for biden in the wake of this verdict. but it's still very small on the margins that helps but ultimately it's not a 567 point swing yet what i wrote in my piece today is that if donald trump is sentenced to prison, if he is facing some sort of jail time incarceration, that could be the sort of thing that lower information voters, less engaged voters who right now have heard that he's guilty. but think, look, people are always saying donald trump's a bad guy. that's nothing new. suddenly the thought of having to vote for someone for president, not just who has a label of convicted felon, but who is actually facing prison time. i wonder if that might give some swing voters even more pause and actually be something that would more dramatically shift the race in biden's favor. >> megan, i want to get your response to that. what do you think? >> yeah. i mean, i think but he is actually facing jail time and that's up to the judge. what's going to happen, but i do think people care if he's convicted felon. people don't want a convicted felon being the leader of our country that's just i mean, we need to expect more from our leaders and i do think it's going to matter on the margins. when people start to cast ballots, when they start early voting in september and october, knee and malika, let me get your thoughts on this final question. you heard trump bragged about his massive fundraising haul, and it has been impressive. he's now heading to another high-dollar fundraiser with silicon valley billionaires how much could this influx of cash actually changed the playing field out there on the campaign trail. >> listen, i mean, money is going to matter. it's going to matter in terms of putting up ads reaching voters, voters mobilization, door-to-door, knocking that each of these campaigns are going to have to do. he is likely exaggerating about how much money he has actually brought in in the wake this verdict, i think he said 400 million. we'll see what the what the actual will hold is, but yeah, i mean, there is there is beginning to be some parody in terms of the war chest of the democrats and the republicans. listen, i do think some of this money is obviously i'm gonna go to pay donald trump's legal bills. and so i think that'll continue to be a factor, but yeah, it's good news for his campaign that he has seen this influx of cash. >> yeah, maybe clearly talks. all right, guys. thank you very, very much. thanks to all of you coming up steve bannon has ordered to report to prison soon as donald trump awaits his own sentencing, we're going to bring you a who's who of trump insiders, who went to jail? >> sometimes the best

bannon is on the really i think shortlist for a pardon? >> as the former president himself await sentencing for his conviction in the hush money case. steve bannon becomes one of at least eight former trump aides or employees in the public and private sectors to serve jail time or at least be sentenced to jail. >> i think it's going to be the hardest and most dangerous issue for reelection of trump will be how does he just associate himself from unsavory characters in jail now, peter navarro, a former trump trade advisor, who like bannon was convicted of contempt of congress for failing to comply with a house january 6, that's the cation. >> i will walk proudly in there and do my time. >> navarro is serving his sentence at a federal facility in miami. that's next to a zoo, 5:00 in the morning or 530. you heard the lions and every morning you would hear the lions roar serving time in a much rougher place. allen weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the trump organization, the 76-year-old is behind bars in new york's notorious rikers island prison, serving two sentences for tax fraud and perjury. michael cohen trump's former lawyer and fixer, went to jail on campaign finance and fraud charges and flipped on trump. paul manafort, trump's former campaign chairman, spent about two years in prison for fraud crimes related to his work in ukraine, manafort, former trump campaign adviser, george papadopoulos, and longtime trump associate roger stone, all received pardons from trump. stone was pardoned without serving any jail time then there were former trump aides like hope hicks, rhona graff, and cassidy hutchinson, who didn't serve jail time, but were hauled into court or congressional hearings without even being accused of crimes. and the courts this is exorbitant just to be involved in the entirety of an investigation that doesn't even involve you. >> you just have information you're imparting to authorities and you have to come out of pocket by lawyering up and just a short time ago, donald trump weighed in on the judge's order for steve bannon to report to prison, trump posting on his platform truth, social, that it's a quote total and complete american tragedy and part of the un-american weaponization of our law enforcement and quote, woolf, ryan todd reporting, brian, good report. thank you very much. let's bring in our legal analyst, elie honig and elliot williams right now, le first to you. do you see yeah. higher courts stepping in or steve bannon heading to prison by july 1st. >> i think steve bannon will be in prison by july 1st. well, if no, steve bannon exercised his constitutional right to go to trial. he was convicted and he was sentenced to four months in prison. and then he was given something called bail pending appeal, which means you have to be able to show that you have a substantial likelihood of success on your appeal. well, steve bannon has now lost his first appeal. so substantial likelihood of success has diminished considerably now, he does have two more potential outs. one, he can ask the court of appeals to rehear the case altogether as an entire circuit, but they very rarely agree to do that. and then and he can ask the supreme court to take the case, but they're very selective in which cases they take. i think it's very unlikely they take this case and i think steve bannon will have to surrender by the end of this month. >> and on that point, elliott, if bannon's last-ditch effort fails, he would join us. we just heard him brian's report a long list of trump insiders who have been ordered to prison. what does that say to you? >> well it says each of them has had a fair trial and an opportunity to raise whatever claims they wanted on appeal. and ultimately lost and picking up where le left off. he was allowed to be released pending his appeal because there was a possibility of his success on the appeal here, the judge found that that because he's already lost his likelihood of succeeding in the supreme court is actually quite low and that a date can be set for him to go to jail. now, look again, he's still has those two opportunities to appeal like everybody else, like all the people who you saw on those screens there. and we ought to celebrate his having that, right. but there comes a time when one has exhausted all of their opportunities to challenge a sentence or a conviction and serve their time and elie, as you know, trump himself is awaiting sentencing for his hush money felony conviction. >> is there any world where he faces some prison time like bannon for example? >> there absolutely is such a world wealth. i think it's gonna be a really close call whether judge merchan's sentences, donald trump to some prison time if we look at the broad lens data, other people who have been convicted of the same crime, trump is now being convicted of falsification of business records. it's a class e felony in new york, that healthy majority, but not all of them get non-prison sentences. but there are several aggravating factors here, including donald trump's violation of the contempt order, the fact that he's not accepted responsibility, the severity of the crime and i think it's going to be a razor's edge call whether judge machine sentences him to prison, but really importantly, wolf, if donald trump does receive a prison sentence, i do think he will be given bail pending appeal, which we talked about before, which means he won't have to actually serve any sentence until all of his appeals are done, which will be way after the election. >> interesting, elliott, give us the 10,000 foot view of trump's other legal cases. and there are several pending well, there are several pending. it does not look like any of them are likely to make the trial prior to election day, which is what many people care about. although look trials take an exceptionally long cases taken exceptionally long time to get to trial. there was a case in georgia brought by the district attorney there that is certainly is not going to trial oh, that was just put on pause by an appeals court. there's a federal case involving the retention of documents and mar-a-lago, his home in florida that is also caught up in legal back-and-forth and finally, the supreme court is considering right now what to do about in effect, an election obstruction or subversion case in washington dc, that decision should come down sometime in this month or in early july that'll dictate when that comes to trial. but again, in all likelihood, not before election day, which is what many people seem to want to see happen. >> elliot williams, elie honig to both of you. thank you very much. just add the latest from the hunter biden trial, the prosecution's star witness hunter biden's ex-girlfriend, hallie biden, testifying about the day she found his gun and threw it away the ceo is, about to take off there's no one that goes the things i do. we are personal limits of what for wrestling can be we wednesday night dynamited aid on tbs start your day with nature me. >> the number one pharmacist recommends indeed vitamin supplement brand. >> now adt professionally installs google nest products they're all set arm the system we should go with the most trusted name and home security as the intelligence of google you have a home with no worries brought to you by adt. >> ocd is more than what you see on tv. and in the movies, it comes with unrelenting intrusive images, thoughts in early if you have ocd and need help, you can get better with specialized treatment. got to know cd.com to learn more. sleep field the sheets difference is real from the light to the dark coat back, all in exhale hat dann, no man so chill all night on a cloud, like a feather, smooth, soft, nothing better. just right?
