>> democratic congressman jamie raskin and eric swalwell going after republicans for their efforts to hold attorney general merrick garland in contempt of congress. we'll have more from that partisan vote in the house in just a moment. it comes as donald trump will be on capitol hill today to meet republican lawmakers from both chambers, setting up his first face-to-face meeting with senate minority leader mitch mcconnell in more than three years. and also ahead we'll bring you the latest from the g7 summit in italy where support for ukraine is a top priority for president biden and other world leaders. good morning and welcome to "way too early" on this thursday, june 13th. i'm jonathan lemire. thanks for starting your day with us. and we'll begin this morning overseas where president biden is in italy for the first day of the g7 summit. he arrived last night around 11 p.m. local time and will now attend multiple working sessions throughout today. afterwards, he'll meet with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy and sign a ten-year security agreement between the u.s. and ukraine. "the washington post" reports the deal will serve as the framework for a long-term effort to help ukraine develop its armed forces. according to the paper's reporting the agreement aims to commit future u.s. administrations to supporting ukraine even if former president donald trump wins this fall's election. now, this is the third g7 summit to be held since vladimir putin launched a full-scale invasion of ukraine back in february of 2022. yesterday russian missiles slammed an apartment bloc in the central part of ukraine killing at least nine people and injuring almost 30 years. president zelenskyy said his nation must work with its partners to strengthen its air defenses. joining us now white house bureau chief for "the washington post,". so good to see you this morning. so we went through some of the details set to be signed later today, but tell us more about what we've learned, what this says about the united states' commitment to ukraine and what else should we be looking for from italy in the g7 today? >> you mentioned the goal of the ten year security agreement is to show ukraine the united states will continue to stand with that country despite what might happen in the u.s. domestic political sphere. and so donald trump is looming over this agreement. he's looming over the g7 meeting. there's a question as to whether or not this will be president biden's last g7. he's up for re-election in five months, and there's a major fear in europe that donald trump could upend and undo a lot of the things president biden wants to do and wants to accomplish on the global stage. and so biden has to reassure his political allies and reassure ukraine specifically that all the things he's saying, all the commitments he's making will withstand the future, which could be uncertain given the polling we see here in our domestic politics and the fact that donald trump has a good chance of being the next president. and so he's trying to secure as much as he can while in office and trying to reassure his partners that domestic politics in the u.s. will not make it difficult for him to fulfill the promises that he's making while he's in europe. >> one more beat on the g7. it comes days after elections in europe showed real advance by far-right parties in a number of nations. what's the mood in the summit in terms of where democracies stand globally? >> president biden tells a story about the first g7 where he met with leaders and said america is back after four years of trump, and a lot of leaders looked at him skeptical. president trump said how long is america back. and so these european nations are now dealing the far-right trumpian march we saw in the u.s., and they're worried that democracy, the things they stand for, the things they're going to put out in a communique from the g7, those things could be hard to uphold if we have a margin of the far right not only in europe but also with trump coming back into power. so there's a lot of fear. there's a lot of uncertainty. there's a sense that the trump-like forces existing on the global stage in places like italy, france, those places will move more to the right, move further away from democracy, move more in an authoritarian kind of impulse, if that happens it'll be difficult for any of the things they're talking about and discussing to stand for the long-term. >> let's switch to domestic politics now. we covered this week on "morning joe" your reporting how republicans have been using misleading videos from a number of events including last week in france to attack biden or depict him as old or unable to do the job. talk about reporting you've gotten from both sides of the aisle. >> we looked at videos that started today go viral while president biden was in france last week, and a lot of them were deceptively edited, manipulated in a way to make it look like biden was old. i mean he is old, but make it look he was out of his depth, that he was addled infirm. we looked at the full context of videos edited and it's clear this is a stake hold on attacks on biden. disseminating it online in a video clip shortened and taken out of context in a way to make biden look bad. that is something we saw even as president biden was representing the united states in france but it's also a part of a staple of how republicans are attacking biden. they want people to see him as old. they want people to see him ozout of his depth and weak. we're going to see these videos over and over again. they're not necessarily the a.i. generated deep fakes, but what people are calling cheap fake, just manipulated videos, edited videos that make it look like something happened that didn't happen and don't require a lot of technological prowess. all you have to do is start a video at a certain moment, or stop it at a certain moment and take it out of context, and that is way republicans are attacking joe biden. both sides are dealing with this and trying to figure out how to navigate a world where these videos go wide across the internet before anyone can fact check them and they start to spread and people start to come up with their own conclusions about what happened. in most cases these are these innocuous moments that are in most cases conspiracy theories. >> really important to shine a spotlight on that. white house bureau chief for "the washington post." thank you for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. meanwhile, former president trump will be in washington today where he's set to meet with republican lawmakers from both sides of the hill. the meetings will be allegedly focused on policy zooming in on border security and an american first policy. while trump's visit is being presented as a positive development by some in the senate leadership senator susan collins, lisa murkowski, and mitt romney will not be attending this meeting mchlg all three claim they have conflicting plans. they've been frequent trump critics. senator mitch mcconnell will attend giving his first face-to-face with trump since 2020. take a listen to what the minority leader said yesterday when asked if he would confront the former president. >> i said three years ago right after the capitol was attacked that i would support our nominee regardless of who it was including him. i've said earlier this year i support him. he's earned the nomination by the voters all across the country. and of course i'll be at the meeting tomorrow. >> so there you go. meanwhile, the republican controlled house narrowly voted to hold attorney general merrick garland in contempt of congress yesterday for refusing to turn over audio of president joe biden's closed door interview about his handling of classified documents. by a 216-207 vote with all but two republicans voting in favor of charging garland the house advanced to what largely amounts to a political exercise. you'll recall that in a february report department of justice special counsel robert hur shared the findings of his investigation into biden's handling of classified documents and declined to prosecute the president. the probe included a lengthy interview with biden where hur claimed the president demonstrated some memory lapses. in march garland complied would a republican issued subpoena to turn over transcripts of that interview only for those same gop lawmakers to then claim that the transcripts alone were insufficient. in defending his decision to not also turn over the audio, garland has argued that it could have a chilling effect on future doj cases if witnesses fear that their interviews could be broadcasted to congress and then onto the public. the white house has also asserted executive privilege over the audio, meaning garland is unlikely to be prosecuted for ignoring recent subpoenas for the tapes. in a statement following yesterday's vote, garland called the move deeply disappointing that this house of representatives has turned a serious congressional authority into a partisan weapon. still ahead here, senate democrats plan to force a vote on protections for ivf after blocking a competing bill from republicans. plus we'll bring you the latest from the middle east as secretary of state antony blinken expressed his real frustration about the state of cease-fire negotiations between hamas and israel. those stories and a check on sports and weather when we come right back. a check on sports and weather when we come right back you can't leave without cuddles. but, you also can't leave

hosting this year's g7 summit of world leaders. we are awaiting president biden's arrival to the beginning of the summit, which will kick off as it always does with the classic family picture of the seven world leaders and couple others will pose for photographs and then they'll move behind closed doors for series of meetings. the highlight of course today president biden meeting with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. the two will take some questions from the press and will announce further security guarantees for ukraine. we will certainly keep an eye on that and keep you posted as our show continues. but turning home now, today senate democrats are expected to force a vote to enshrine protections for access to invitro fertilization. the procedural vote would need 60 votes in favor to pass. it is not expected to meet that threshold. democrats are pushing what they call a comprehensive package of fertility bills that includes protecting ivf access and making the procedure more affordable. republicans called the vote politically motivated and unnecessary. instead, the gop yesterday tried to pass their own ivf legislation. their bill was much narrower in scope and does not address potential legal consequences surrounding the disposal of nonvinyl nonviable embryos. republicans blocked that bill and called out their republican colleagues. >> this bill is very simple. it establishes a nationwide right to ivf and eliminates barriers for millions of families looking to ivf to start a family -- to start and grow a family. protecting ivf like protecting contraception is not a no-show vote -- sorry. protecting ivf like protecting contraception is not a show vote. it's a show us who you are vote, and the republicans are afraid to show us who they are on this issue. >> now, this is the second set of votes democrats have orchestrated ahead of the election to get republicans on the record about this issue. last week they forced a vote on a bill that would have ensured nationwide access to oncontraception. meanwhile, southern baptist the country's largest southern protestant denomination forced to a vote to oppose ivf. the resolution proposed call on congregants to, quote, reaffirm the unconditional value to right to life for every human being including those in embryonic stage and only utilize reproductive technologies tint consistent with the affirmation. it does criticize the destruction of embryos condemning the ivf process as commonly practiced. earlier this week donald trump addressed the southern baptist convention and vowed to stand side by side with a group that wants abortion to be eradicated entirely. last night the biden campaign reacted to the vote saying if trump returns to power they'll, quote, put women and their family's most personal health care decisions in the hands of right-wing extremists. next up, we'll turn to sports and pay tribute to the passing of an nba legend. plus, highlights from an electric game three
