you feel the wind i'm going to surveil in paris and this is cnn cnn are welcome, everyone another hour in the cnn newsroom. >> i'm omar jimenez in washington, big bucks and big bucks and big stars that president biden's campaign fundraiser tonight, the los angeles event has already broken a fundraising record for the democratic party, just two weeks before for the first debate between biden and trump, that debate will be right here on cnn. tickets for the hollywood fundraiser event went from $250 to half 1 $1 million so with the contest for small dollar donors to win tickets, which would let them meet president biden, former president obama julia roberts, george clooney, jimmy jimmy kimmel will also moderate a q&a with biden and obama tonight get then white house correspondent arlette saenz joins us now, or let big hall for the campaign even before the event starts, what else are we learning yeah, omar, the biden campaign says it says if this is the is the biggest democratic fundraiser in history. >> president biden already raking in 28 million heading into tonight's events, the president is leaning out a bit of help from some of his celebrity friends with george clooney friends with george clooney julia roberts, among the ala celebrities who will be part of the program tonight. >> i'm president biden will be on stage with former president barack obama, his former boss, jimmy kimmel, will moderate that conversation. there's other celebrities like jason bateman, jet jet-black and sheryl the ralph who will also be part of this program with the biden campaign is trying to do two is tap into some of that celebrity star power to try to engage voters in this campaign, whether it's actually mobilize them to the polls, or simply or donate some money is what is expensive is expected to be a very expensive race. now this fundraiser tonight, right behind me is modeled after a fundraiser that biden did back in march with two other presidents, obama and former president bill clinton. that cl event brought in 26 million. so this event tonight has already eclipse that figure and it comes at a time when president biden is really hoping to maintain his cash advantage that he's had through most of this race over former over formt donald trump. but in recent months, trump has seen a significant gain in his fundraising especially since he secured the republican nomination for the biden campaign, they are hoping events like this will really try to drive up and through comt people who paid a lot of money to be inside this theater tonight, but also those grassroots donors, as you mentioned, they ran a contest for people to come out here and meet the two presidents, as well as a few few celebrities. there's also an opportunity for people to tune in virtually if they donated about $20 so the biden campaign stressing that this is an event really the trying to appeal to donors and supporters across the board as they are hoping to rake an even more money boost this campaign war chest heading into november's alive section let's signs really appreciate it. >> thank you. meanwhile, former president donald trump is in michigan tonight, a key swing states. cnn's eva mackinnon is in detroit for us. so what is the former president been saying? omar, he's still speaking behind me, but he began telling these voters and he's confident he could in, november as he didn't 2016 he said that if elected, again, we will address inflation, stand stand up to ch and other nations was promote maginot mix that of course is a direct blow took bidenomics, and then and then perhaps most consequentially, omar has said it yet. >> but he is expected to tell these michigan voters that it's important that they make a plan to vote. >> whether that's holding early or by mail to me make a plan to vote not a horse is an opposition to the cold water that he's rule on early voting and male including in 2020, an indication of a little bit more discipline this time around and recognition well, that he can't leave any votes on the tape and it will a today, the former president also met with members of the black community in detroit and seemed to tease the crowd about his possible oh vp pick what did he say yeah, that list is long. >> omar, there are a lot of people that he is considering for his running one of the people in the mix of the peoplex is florida congressman byron donalds, who joined at that black voter outreach event at a predominantly black and he just told that crowd that donalds an credible die on them, that he is trying even mackenzie reporting while donald trump is speaking, i can say it is very difficult to do that bit in some of those rooms. so really appreciate you making it look easy. thank you so much appreciu making it look easy. thank you so much. >> all right in just 12 days, june 27th, at cnn's atlanta studios, president biden and pr former president trump will go head-to-head for the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle. we've got new details about the rules that both of them have agreed to take you through them. all right. the 90 minute debate will have two commercial breaks during those breaks, the candidates and their staff are not allowed to interact with each other. both presidents will appear at uniform podiums and their position and their pol be determined by a coin flip. the microphones will be muted during the debate except when it's a candidates turn to speak, obviously, no props or p pre-written notes are allowed on stage. each candidate, though, we'll get a pen, a pad and a bottle of water. no studio audience and the moderators will be jake tapper and dana bash, who will enforce timing and ensure a civilized discussion. you of course, will be able to watch the debate right here on cnn, on june 27th, or streaming get on all r let's have the debate before the debate joining me now, former republican congressman charlie dent and cnn political commentator and democratic strategists, maria cardona. >> all right, charlie, we just went through the rules. do they seem fair? do they favor it either candidate based on what you've heard so far? >> the rules are fine. the question is, will the rules be enforced once violated? remember what happened in 2020 when donald trump repeatedly interrupted joe biden. i think chris wallace moderated that debate and that debate was this a completely chaotic and really not any value to them? >> voter frankly, voter? frankl it's probably your hurt donald trump question is jake and jake tapper and dana bash are very skilled moderator is what will they do if if one of the candidates completely disrupts the debate? how will they manage that situation? and the other issue i think that we have to be concerned about, it's not the rules. again, they're fine. >> the issue he was rfk junior not been included in this debate and he is pulling somewhere around 15% of the vote. and that's going to be another subject of debate about the debates. >> on your first on your first point, i have full faith in jake and dana, so i will i will leave it in their hands for now maria, i want to bring you in on this it's because look, look, sometimes we do see president biden when he's speaking publicly, he might be squinting, he might be a little bit more soft-spoken. that's not every event, of course, but it is out there. other times you see, i'm like at the say, a union much more energetic and really, really, really into it. >> how do you expect him you expect him to come out over the course of this debate how does he need to present here? >> look, no one knows the stakes in this debate and this, in this election in terms of how high they are, then president biden and as you said, when the stakes are high, this comes out and he completely commands the stage. and i have no doubt that this is exactly what he's gonna do at this debate. he won the last two rates, the last two debates debs with donald trump, regardless of how disruptive donald trump was and i believe he's going to do so again. and like you said, the state of the union, he also completely came out. he commanded that stage. he was very forceful he talked about what is at stake, he's going to do in a second term. and i think at this debate nothing less than that is going to happen one of the most interesting things, omar is that republicans and especially donald republicans and especialy donald trump love to be little this president, to the point where the expectations for him are so low, so he'll come out and he will actually be able to put two sentences together and he's one so for me, that strategy for them is really stupid because they know probably better than just what a really good debater joe biden is because he beat donald trump twice before and so i think the same thing is going to happen this time, especially this time, especially when the stakes are so high and pretty senator biden is really going to be able to talk about the huge lies and the conspiracy theories and the violet he poli vengeance and retribution. and t his opnes. and he's going to really be able to contrast that with the kind of accomplishments that he's been able to to deliver to the american people and what he will do for four more years. >> yeah. years. >> yeah. and charlie, i want to bring you in on some of those points because look, trump has been huddled with advisors, work doing debate prep this week, according to our reporting and some aspects focused on how to address january 6. and so i want to ask you, how do you expect to expect him to answer those questions? but also on what some of maria was saying do you think it will be smart for donald trump to right off the bat attack sort of the coherency of of joe biden are se of the other tax that we've seen no i don't think it would be smart as maria indicated, i think by trump continuing to the little joe biden, he has lowered expectations for joe biden. i think donald trump better bring his a game and he better be able to respond to able to respond to policy questions. that's not what he typically does. so i don't think that belittling his opponent is really going to help them that much. i expect that he will. and let's face it when it comes and let's face it when it comes at the debate prep, donald trump is not particularly traditional. he is, he just likes, he just seems to win it. he goes in there. he is not he feels for the attention deficit disorder. he's not particularly focused and he really has very little interest in public policy. so i suspect you're going to hear much of the same things he'd been spouting from the campaign trail. he's going to he's just going to go off on the border. he's going to go off on inflation he's going to go off on just joe biden generally, i think there won't be a lot of a personal ad a personal ad hominem attacks coming from from trump, but don't expect this to be any type of more staid debate that we're used to with more traditional candidate. it's just simply not going to happen. i just expect chaos well, hopefully, hopefully we get some substance out-of-date plays. the most hopeful person is the most hopeful person is the person ahead? of a debate. so i remain, i remain hopeful of that at this point, are maria, look, one of the things i think that one of the that one of the dynamics i think has been out there. and i saw a little bit when i covered some of the the primaries in this cycle is that we're not excited about either candidate. what other options are out there and the biden campaign just broke another record for its fundraiser tonight and la i mean, trump is also raised a lot of money, but but biden has broken this this democratic side how are you hoping that that financial enthusiasm actually translates to the ballot box because of course that's what matters her' matters here. so i actually think that those stories about how there is a lack of excitement are wrong because of exactly what you're saying, right? because all of those stories are based on polls, omar and why not let space stories about what's there and things that are tangible, like money like fundraising, like record money coming from grassroots voters. if there wasn't that kind of enthusiasm, omar, they wouldn't be enthusiasm, omar, t wouldn't be giving $30, $50 their hard-earned money. they are literally putting their money where joe biden's mouth has been they are buying what he is selling because they understand exactly just like president biden does. what. is at stake in this election? and it is less than our democracy. and it is nothing less than their future and the futures of their families. and the other thing i will say is that the other tangible piece that we can put on excitement on the democratic side on excit on the democratic side are special elections right? democrats have trounced republicans and every single special election and also in the midterms in 2022, where everyone was saying there's going to be this big red tsunami, right? the democrats going to be blown out of water. it didn't happen because the reality is, is that the mass numbers of americans have roundly rejected the maga agenda and they're going to do so again in november. >> and of course, look, we're ' these candidates are out and about tonight, fundraising, campaigning, and charlie, as we've talked about in some are reporting former president trump in michigan tonight speaking to a conservative conference this hour, i want to play something that steve bannon said earlier here today. take a listen remember, fifth is judgement de january 20, 2025 is accountability day. >> that's me on the afternoon of the 20th. we're also going to start the pick and shovel work to take apart the administrative state and to take on its rogue element a praetorian guard, the deepstate. we're going to run them all out of town. are you prepared to fight? are you prepared to give it all? are you prepared to leave it all on the battlefield? ladies and gentlemen, it's very it's very simple victory or death all right so, it does sound very vengeful, vengeful but from a wider wider campaign standpoint is that an effective strategy that actually will be able to get people out to vote for the former president you know, i really don't think it's very effective to have convicted felon context going out there making those kinds of incendiary inflammatory statements that are essentially shadowing violence. steve bannon was also out there prior to january 6 making a lot of populistic predictions predicti >> i think this is completely unhelpful and i think it's a sad state of affairs that people like this and navarro and some of these other really shady characters a get political traction. i think it's quite dangerous. what he's saying, he's basically inviting violence with that rhetoric, victory or death. i mean, this is an election you know, this isn't some foreign banana republic where their political violence is expected. this is united states of america, and i'm deeply shocked by this. shocked by this. that's why i'm leading this group color are republican legacy, where we're trying to bring the party back talking about traditional principles that have sustained a party for generations and we can't have this type of maga extremism basically as whitman, mr. evidenced by steve ben, dragging this party into a ditch. i think this is a very dangerous place when and it, makes those kinds of outrageous comments that will fear fear be, particularly if trump loses on election day. but will they plan virginia? hey, where are you for the certification the election. i think we're going to experience real chaos if trump loses, thanks to people like ban it yeah when trump loses, well, all right, there you go. >> that's, that's that's the debate they used to and the others do crazy and they don't, and they don't like choice. better, better, old and steady. >> then and crazy and authority four times convicted felon yeah. but it's a serious though. i mean, people are that's why that is area charlie. that is that is dead s >> it's not just about spin these, this is third part luck in third parties, you're gonna get a big chunk of the vote. this time. let's be honest, because of public is so dissatisfied, they nominated the two people that didn't want neither party want neithery listened to what the public has been telling him. and i think this is a big problem for this election and i do fear for what it's going to happen in this election if people like van, their makeup the public also knows what's at stake. charlie and the vast majority of americans, when they go into that ballot box, are not going to pull the lever for a 34 times convicted felon sexual assault, her and somebody who wants to overturn an election and one it test started insurrection in order to do it americans understand that choice. >> all right. americans understand that choice. all right. i got to jump in. i gotta jumping out because i don't enjoy the debate back-and-forth but because we're out of time so maria cardona, charlie, dan giving us maybe a little bit of political fireworks preview to what is going to happen on the right on the right side of your screen. presidential debate in 12 days. i appreciate you both. please come back. thank you, omar. >> all right. >> still had hamas says strikes against israeli troops will continue after eight israeli soldiers were killed in southern gaza. it's as massive crowds gather in tel aviv tonight, demanding new government elections were live in israel next plus supreme court overturns a trump ban on bump stocks for guns. what the ruling means, and the major cases the courts has before it. and a group of russian warships are now docked in havana, cuba, just 90 miles away from florida, as the cold war allies strengthen their ties. >> what putin's war games mean, you're in the cnn newsroom the, most anticipated moment of this election and the stakes couldn't be higher. the president and the former president one stage moderated by jake tapper and dana bash, the cnn presidential debate thursday, june 27th, nine live on cnn and streaming on cnn and max conquer financial reports gaga 2000 word essays conquer, 300. >> thank you conquer 300. >> thank you notes. >> over white, right, with the smooth riding longest lasting gelling pin in america look, we know it's gonna be a big change, but it's the right thing to do. for. all of us. >> it's just your mother and i went different things, which is why we got sling tv so we can watch live and free tv on one app that's right. >> dad gets live sports and get news and i get my reality shows. >> and when we don't want to pay your mom and i can still get hundreds of channels for free. >> thing is really keeping this family together. >> you have no idea and have no idea smile. >> you found it you found it th feeling of findings, psoriasis can't filter out the real you so go ahead, live unfiltered with the one and only so tick to a once-daily pill for moderate to severe plaques, psoriasis, and the chance that clear or almost clear skin it's like the feeling of finding you're so ready for your close-up, are and the chance that clear reactions can occur. so ticked, you can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb, serious infection since cancers, including lymphoma, muscle problems and changes in certain labs have occurred. tell your doctor if you have an infection, liver or kidney problems, high triglycerides or had a vaccine or plan to tick is a tick to inhibitor tick two as part of the jackpot emily, it's not known as a tiktok has the same risks as jak inhibitors find what plaque psoriasis has been hiding. there's only one, so tick two so ask for it by name so clearly you, so tick two have heart failure with unresolved symptoms it may be time to see the bigger picture heart failure and seemingly unrelated symptoms like carpal tunnel syndrome shortness of breath an irregular heartbeat could mean something more s
