INTERACTIVE. THIS IS EARLY TODAY. >>> GOOD MORNING, I'M JOE FRYER. SAVANNAH IS ON ASSIGNMENT. >>> DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW O MORNING NEWS NOW, BIG DECISIONS, THE SUPREME COURT IS SET TO MAKE SOME OF THE FINAL RULINGS OF THE TERMS, SEVERAL CONSEQUENTIAL CASES ARE ON THE DOCKE INCLUDING THE FATE O AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN AMERICA. >> THERE ARE HIGH SCHOOLS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT HAVE MANICURED LAWNS AND GOLF COURSES AND THERE ARE HIGH SCHOOLS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT HAVE BARS >>> LOOKING FOR JUSTICE AGAINST THE TRADERS WHO THREATEN THIS REGIME. BIDEN IS PUSHING BACK AGAINST CLAIMS OF THE WEST WAS INVOLVED. WE WILL BRING YOU THE LATEST. >>> A HOT AND HUMID START TO THE SUMMER. MORE HAZARDOUS HEAT IS SPREADING ACROSS THE SOUTH AND PARTS OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND NORTHEAST. THEY ARE BRACING FOR HEAVY RAIN WIND AND TORNADOES. WE ARE TRACKING ALL OF THOSE CONDITIONS. >>> THE ACHIEVEMENT OF A LIFETIME FOR A SPECIAL GROUP OF COLLEGE GRADUATES THANKS TO A FIRST OF ITS KIND PRISON EDUCATION PROGRAM. IT OFFERS A CHANCE AT A COLLEGE DEGREE. TIME FOR ONE OF THE FIRST GRADUATES TO TALK ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP THAT IS GIVING HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE. >>> IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US ON THIS TUESDAY. WHAT WE BEGIN WITH IS A BLOCKBUSTER DAY IN WASHINGTON. JUST DAYS LEFT IN THIS YEAR'S TERM. SUPREME COURT WILL BE HANDING DOWN ITS NEXT ROUND OF OPINIONS THIS MORNING. AND THAT MAY INCLUDE MAJOR RULINGS THAT COULD IMPACT MILLIONS OF AMERICANS. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CASES THAT WILL FOCUS ON STUDENT LOANS, LGB DQ RIGHTS AND THE FUTURE OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. WHEN IT DOES COME TO AFFIRMATIVE ACTION THERE OTHER ISSUES THAT AMERICANS ARE FIRMLY DIVIDED ALONG PARTY LINES. A NBC NEWS POLL SHOWS THAT 80% OF DEMOCRATS BELIEVE THAT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION WAS NEEDED TO COUNTERACT THE EFFECTS OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MINORITIES. THAT IS UP FROM 67% OF DEMOCRATS BACK IN 1991. THAT IS WHERE A HUGE DROP COMES FROM 30 YEARS AGO AND THAT NUMBER WAS 55%. WE ARE JOINED FROM MSNBC LEGAL ADVOCATE CHRISTIAN'S BENNETT. WITH HIGHER EDUCATION WHICH INVOLVED HARVARD AND UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA. HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT BOTH SIDES ARE ARGUING ON WITH THIS CONTENTIOUS ISSUE. WHAT ARE THE STAKES HERE? >> THE SUPREME COURT IS HEARING IT AS ONE THING EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE RULINGS. AND THAT IS BECAUSE THE ARGUMENTS ARE THE SAME. IN THIS CASE THE DECISION WAS FOR FAIR ADMISSIONS. THEY ARE ARGUING ABOUT BOTH SCHOOLS SEPARATELY AND DISCRIMINATING AGAINST ASIAN AMERICAN APPLICANTS. IT IS DISADVANTAGED BECAUSE OF BOTH OF THESE ESSENTIALLY AND ALLEGEDLY OVEREMPHASIZING THIS LEVEL WITHOUT ALTERNATIVE. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO THE LAW? THEY ARE ARGUING THAT THE SCHOOL IS VIOLATING THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT WHICH PRESENTS DISCRIMINATION IN THE INSTITUTION. THE SCHOOL ALTERNATIVELY IS ARGUING THAT THEY ARE NOT DISCRIMINATING AND THAT THE POLICIES ARE CRUCIAL FOR PROMOTING DIVERSITY. BUT THAT THE POLICIES AND MESSAGES ARE ACTUALLY IN LINE WITH BELANGER AND THEIR REGENT UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DECISIONS BECAUSE THOSE DECISIONS PROVIDE GREAT AUTHORITY. >> THIS IS THE MOST DIVERSE SUPREME COURT IN AMERICAN HISTORY AND IT IS ALSO A CONSERVATIVE COURT HOLDING A 6 3 MAJORITY. THEY SHOW GLIMPSES ON HOW THEY MIGHT VOTE. DOES IT LOOK LIKE THEY WILL SIGN ALONG IDEOLOGICAL LINES OR WERE THERE PERHAPS SOME CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES THAT SEEM MORE UNDECIDED? >> I THINK THERE IS IN IDEOLOGICAL RULING ON THIS CASE. AND IT WOULD NOT COME AS A SURPRISE. NUANCES DO EXIST. WITHIN THIS CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY SHOWING AND OPENNESS TO CONCEPTUAL RACE CONSIDERATION. IF YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE ORAL ARGUMENTS FOR THIS PARTICULAR CASE WE HEARD CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS AND JUSTICES BARRETT AND CAVANAUGH IT MAY BE REVEALING A SMALL OPENING TO CONSIDER PERSONAL EXPERIENCES RELATED TO RACE TO BE PART OF THE ADMISSIONS POLICY. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY SUPPORT THESE CONSCIOUS ADMISSIONS BUT IT DOES GIVE SOME FACTORS. >> A FEW DECADES AGO NINE STATES INCLUDING CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA ACTUALLY DID BAN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION FOR COLLEGE ADMISSIONS. DOES THIS RULING HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THAT? >> ABSOLUTELY. IT COULD BOLSTER THOSE LEGAL POSITIONS IN AND EFFORT TO BAN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION BUT IT COULD ALSO INFLUENCE OTHER STATES TO APPROACH DIVERSITY AND IT COULD RESULT IN A RULING THAT WOULD CHANGE THE DIRECTORY IN A NEGATIVE WAY. >> YOU CAN SEE STATES THAT OF ARTIE TAKEN THAT STEP. WE THANK YOU FOR THAT ANALYSIS AND HIS HUGE DECISION. COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES ARE ALSO GRAPPLING WITH THAT DECISION THAT IT MAY NOT BE A FACTOR IN ADMISSIONS. LAURA JARRETT SHOWS US HOW THEY ARE PREPARING. >> FOR MANY ELITE SCHOOLS PROVIDING FOR THE TOP COURSE IS ON THE WALL. HOW WORRIED ARE YOU? >> I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED. >> THIS WAIN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS. A PEACEFUL CAMPUS PROVIDING AND ANXIOUS REALITY. THE SUPREME COURT WILL HAVE TO ANSWER THE MOST ANTICIPATED QUESTION THIS TERM, CAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES PLAY SAFE IN ADMISSION SERVICES? >> THEY ARE ASKING WHAT THEY WILL YOU BE HERE? >> FOR DECADES THEY RECOGNIZE THE EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS OF THE DIVERSE STUDENT BODY AS THE SCHOOLS CAN LOOK AT SOMEONE'S RACE AS ONE FACTOR AMONG MANY. THE CURRENT CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY MAY BAN THIS NATIONWIDE. >> BUT WHAT WILL THAT DO TO A PLACE LIKE THAT? IT WILL SEND A VERY STRONG MESSAGE TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS. THAT THEY ARE NOT WELCOME. >> NOT SO SAYS LAWYERS WHO SUED HARVARD OVER ADMISSION PLANS. ONE CREATED BY THE COURT IS THE GOLD STANDARD AND THEY ARE NOW ACCUSED OF BEING OBSESSED WITH RACE. WHILE THE UNIVERSITY NORTH CAROLINA WAS DISCRIMINATING AGAINST ASIAN STUDENTS WHICH THE SCHOOL DENIES THEY WOULD EMPATHIZE DURING THIS LEVEL. >> HARVARD GIVES THEM SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER PERSONAL RATES. THEY ARE LESS LIKABLE CONFIDENT AND KIND. SCHOOLS MAY STILL LOOK AT AND APPLICANT STUDY OR EVEN CONSIDER ESSAYS THAT OVERCOME ADVERSITY. THE SO-CALLED RACE NEUTRAL OF ASSERTIVENESS. COLLEGES ARE PREPARED TO ADAPT IF REQUIRED. EXPANDING FINANCIAL AID AND SCRAPPING S.A.T. SCORES AND LEGACY ADMISSIONS. ALL POTENTIALLY ON THE TABLE BUT THEY SAY IGNORING RACE WILL PRODUCE A DEVASTATING RESULT. >> SHE POINTS TO CALIFORNIA AS ONE OF NINE STATES TO OUTLAW AFFIRMATIVE ACTION MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO. CAUSING A 50% DROP OFF IN MINORITY ADMISSIONS. NUMBERS THAT HAVE NEVER BOUNCED BACK AS SEEN BY UC BERKELEY IN. >> YOU CAN SEE THEM REMOVE THESE NUMBERS. AND THAT IS NOT FROM A LACK OF TRYING. >> THIS IS THE DEAN OF UNDERGRADUATE MISSIONS. THEY SAY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION WAS NEVER PROGRESS IT WAS JUST A BAND-AID. >> THE FACT THAT THERE ARE HIGH SCHOOLS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT HAVE LAWN AND GOLF COURSES AND THERE ARE OTHERS THAT HAVE BARS ON THE WINDOWS AND METAL DETECTORS IN THE HALLWAYS, AND YET YOUR ASKING BOTH OF THE STUDENTS TO SHOW UP ON APPLICATION PROJECTS AT THE SAME TIME IS SOMETHING THAT JUST DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. >> THEY ARE BRACING FOR THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA. EQUALIZING THE PLAYING FIELD AND MAKING IT NOT IMPOSSIBLE BUT SIGNIFICANTLY HARDER. ABC NEWS, BACK TO YOU. >>> TURNING TO OVERSEAS RUSSIA IS DEALING WITH THE AFTERMATH OF SATURDAYS REPORTED MUTINY. THIS MORNING WE HEARD FROM THE INDUS EMBASSY AND THE MAIN SECURITY SERVICE IN RUSSIA SAYING THAT THEY WERE CLOSING THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE REBELLION. ON TOP OF THAT THE RUSSIAN MEDIA CITED THE DEFENSE MINISTRY SAYING PREPARATIONS WERE UNDERWAY FOR THE TRANSFER OF THE GROUP HEAVY MILITARY EQUIPMENT TO RUSSIA'S ARMED FORCES. THIS COMES AFTER BOTH PRESIDENT PUTIN AND THE HEAD OF THE WAGNER GROUP SPOKE YESTERDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE INCIDENT. THE PRESIDENT ALSO ADDRESSED THE MUTINY. TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. >> WE HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT WE ARE NOT INVOLVED. WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS PART OF THE STRUGGLE WITHIN THE RUSSIAN LEVEL AND WE WILL KEEP THIS SESSION ON THE EVENT AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR RUSSIA AND UKRAINE. IT IS STILL TOO EARLY FOR DEFINITIVE CONCLUSION. >> THE FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT KELLY TO BE A JOINED US NOW WALK US THROUGH THE STEPS NOW TAKEN THIS MORNING? WHY IS THE FSB DROPPING THIS CASE AGAINST THEM? >> THE STATEMENT IS PRETTY SHORT BUT WHAT THEY SAY IS ESSENTIAL IS THE REASON WHY THEY ARE BEING DROPPED. THE SOLDIERS INVOLVED DID NOT MARCH ALL THE WAY TO MOSCOW BECAUSE THEY STOPPED, TURNED AROUND AND THE ACTIONS WERE AIMED AT COMMITTING A CRIME DID NOT HAPPEN. THERE IS THE DEALERS ORCHESTRATED AND PUT TOGETHER BY THE PRESIDENT OF BELARUS. IN WHICH THE KREMLIN ANNOUNCED ON SATURDAY NONE OF THESE FIGHTERS NOR ANY OF THE LEADERS WERE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND NONE OF THEM WILL BE CHARGED CRIMINALLY. AT THIS TIME WE HAVE IN INTERESTING SITUATION DEVELOPING BECAUSE HE SAID HE WOULD HONOR TERMS OF THE DEAL AND ALLOW FIGHTERS AS WELL TO CHOOSE THEIR OWN FATE ESSENTIALLY. THEY COULD GO HOME OR THEY COULD JOIN THE RUSSIAN MILITARY. OR THEY COULD GO TO BELARUS AND THAT WOULD LEAD ONTO THE STATEMENT FROM THE DEFENSE MINISTRY. SAYING THEY ARE TURNING OVER ALL OF THEIR EQUIPMENT BUT THE FACT REMAINS TO THEY JOIN THE RUSSIAN MILITARY OR STAY IN THE FIGHT IN THE UKRAINE OR DO THEY JOIN THEIR LEADER IN BELARUS? >> WE KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENT SPOKE THIS MORNING GIVING A SPEECH TO THE MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE HEARING NOW FROM THEM AND DO WE EVEN KNOW IF THEY MADE IT THROUGH TO BELARUS? >> SO THEY SPOKE IN THE HEART OF THE KREMLIN TODAY AND WAS VERY MUCH ABOUT IMAGERY AND STANDING IN FRONT OF SOLDIERS. THEY THINK THE COMMUNITY SERVICES TELLING THE NATIONAL GUARD ESSENTIALLY THAT THEY DID HELP TO STOP THE CIVIL WAR IN THE UKRAINE BUT ALSO FOR THE FIRST TIME I BELIEVE THEY RECOGNIZE THAT RUSSIAN PILOTS WERE KILLED ON SATURDAY DURING THIS INSURRECTION. HOLDING A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR THOSE PILOTS DURING THOSE TALKS. INTERESTINGLY HE ALSO SAID THAT HE WAS NOT RULING OUT WESTERN SECURITY SERVICES THAT COULD'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN SATURDAY'S EVENT. THEY MAY HAVE BEEN INSPIRED BY THE WEST AND OVERWHELMED BY THOSE DECISIONS. IN HIS SPEECH LAST NIGHT HE CALLED THE LEADERS OF THAT LOOP TRADERS. BUT HE DID SAY THAT THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF FIGHTERS WERE PATRIOTS. HE WAS ALMOST ASKING THEM TO JOIN THE FOLD AND STAY WITHIN THE RUSSIAN MILITARY. FOR HIS PART HE SAID THAT HE NEVER MEANT TO MOUNT A Q HE WAS ONLY ON A PROTEST MARCH AND IN TERMS OF HIS WHEREABOUTS WE STILL CANNOT CONFIRM THAT HE IS IN BELARUS. BUT THROUGH FLIGHT RADAR 24 FROM ST. PETERSBURG TO SOUTHERN RUSSIA AND THROUGH THE BELARUSIAN CAPITAL AT SOME POINT THIS MORNING. >> PRESENT BIDEN DENIED ANY AMERICAN INVOLVEMENT. IN THE MEANTIME THERE IS STILL A WAR GOING ON IN THE UKRAINE. WHAT IS THE LATEST ON THE BATTLEFIELD? >> PRESENT ZELENSKI IS PROJECTING AND IMAGE OF HOPE AND PROGRESS. HE SAYS THERE IS PROGRESS ON ALL FRONTS AND HE DID VISIT YESTERDAY WITH A VIDEO THAT WAS PLAYING QUITE A BIT HERE OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS. HE ALSO SAYS THEY HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT APPELLATION VISITS AS WELL AS SOME ORT OF CHANGE IN THE STRATEGIES ON THE BATTLEFIELD. THEY ARE ALSO PROJECTING THIS IMAGE OF UNITY, STRENGTH AND PROGRESS. >> LET'S BRING IN DANIEL DAVIS FOR MORE ON THIS AT THE DEFENSE PRIORITIES. I JUST WANT TO GET YOUR REACTION TO THESE MOVES BY MOSCOW THIS MORNING. ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT THEY ARE DROPPING THEIR CRIMINAL CASES? >> WHAT THIS IS TELLING ME IS THAT RUSSIA JUST WANTS TO MOVE PAST US WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE POSSIBLE. THEY WANT TO PRODUCE THE WAR FIGHTING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE REGULAR MILITARY AND POTENTIALLY WITH THE FORCES GOING FORWARD. IF THEY HAD GONE FORWARD WITH ANY KIND OF CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS IT WOULD BE VERY HARD TO PICK WHICH ONE OF THE WAGNER GROUP YOU WOULD GO AFTER. AND THEN OF COURSE THIS IS A CLOSE KNIT FAMILY ORGANIZATION. AND THEY BUILD THAT INTO THE SYSTEM THAT COULD POTENTIALLY TURN IT AGAINST THEM. JUST TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE DAMAGE THEY FELT IT WAS BETTER TO GO THIS DIRECTION AND INTO THE REGION THIS IS WHY THEY OFFERED THEM TO JOIN THE RUSSIAN MILITARY OR ALLOW THEM TO GO TO BELARUS OR HOME. >> DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING FROM THESE COMMENTS SO FAR THAT SUGGESTED THIS WHOLE INCIDENT WAS OVER? >> THEY NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO SUCCEED. IT WAS SOME KIND OF IN INSURRECTION. THEY NEVER REALLY HAD A CHANCE TO SUCCEED. YOU CAN SEE HE ACTUALLY DID WANTS TO GET RID OF THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE AND THE SENIOR LEVEL. IT APPEARS THAT THAT DID NOT WORK. THEY DID LOSE SOME CONTROL AND BELARUS IS NOW BUILDING ANOTHER MILITARY BASE FOR THE WAGNER GROUP WITH 8000 PEOPLE THAT IS GOING TO REGENERATE AT SOME POINT IN BELARUS. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE WAR AND THE UKRAINE. DID IT PRESENT AND OPPORTUNITY FOR THE UKRAINE AND HOW DO YOU ASSESS THIS COUNTEROFFENSIVE? >> EVERYONE WOULD LOVE THAT TO BE THE CASE. AND CERTAINLY THAT WAS WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR. BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE OFFENSE HAS BEEN ALMOST A UNIFORM FAILURE FROM WHAT IT SHOULD'VE BEEN AND WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO FROM THE OUTSET. IT IS STILL NOT PENETRATING IN THE FIRST LINE AND THE REASONS ARE FUNDAMENTAL. THEY DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH WILL ARTILLERY SHIELD SHELLS OR MINING EQUIPMENT TO GET TO THE MANY DEFENSES. YOU HAD THE REALLY ILLUSTRATING THE PROBLEM WHEN THE EMPHASIZED HOW WELL THE RUSSIAN DEFENSIVE TRAIN AND PREPARED THIS WITH HOW FAR IT IS TO GO FORWARD THAT IT IS NOT GOING TOO MUCH FURTHER. AND THAT IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT I AGREE WITH. >> WE APPRECIATE YOUR ANALYSIS. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. >>> SEVERE WEATHER HAS BEEN IMPACTING HUGE SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY FOR DAYS AND IT IS SHOWING NO SIGNS OF LETTING UP. THE NORTHEAST IS DEALING WITH SEVERE STORMS AND THE SOUTH IS BRACING FOR MORE SUFFOCATING HEAT. SEVERE WEATHER IS CREATING A TRAVEL NIGHTMARE AT AIRPORTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. STAN BROCK HAS THE LATEST. >> GOOD MORNING. FOR ANYONE WHO HAS SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN LOUISIANA OVER THE SUMMER, CONDITIONS HERE CAN BE BRUTAL. EVEN BY THAT STANDARD. WE ARE LOOKING AT AND EXCEPTIONAL SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES. MOST OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA IS LOOKING AT EXCESSIVE HEAT MORNING. IN THE LOW TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES AND THAT INDEX IS FACTORING THE HUMIDITY STILL AROUND THE 113 TO 120 DEGREES ACCORDING TO THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS. THIS WARNING INCLUDES BATON ROUGE AND NEW ORLEANS WHICH WILL BE HOLDING A UPDATE ON WHAT THE PUBLIC IS DOING TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE. THAT INCLUDES OPENING DOZENS OF POOLS AND COMMUNITY CENTERS. AND THEY ARE DEALING WITH JUST A PRESSING HEAT THAT IS SITTING OVER A SECTION OF THE COUNTRY. NEARLY 50 MILLION PEOPLE ARE UNDER AND EXCESSIVE HEAT MORNING THAT SPREAD OVER 13 STATES. FROM ARIZONA TO NEW MEXICO ALABAMA MISSISSIPPI AND EVEN PARTS OF FLORIDA THIS IS A HUGE SWATH OF THE COUNTRY THAT IS BUCKLING FROM THE STATE ISSUES. WE'VE ALSO SEEN ALL OF THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS UP AND ON THE EAST COAST WITH THE MOST RECENT ACTIVITY FROM THE CAROLINAS ALL THE WAY TO NEW HAMPSHIRE. FOLKS WERE FORCED OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND SURROUNDED BY WATER. ROADS WERE LITERALLY BEING WASHED AWAY. YOU HAVE A JUXTAPOSITION OF ACTIVE WEATHER AND TORNADIC ACTIVITY. THERE WAS ANOTHER AREA IN NEBRASKA AND THAT ALL CONTINUES AS WE DO KEEP THIS SINKING IN FOR THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE UNITED STATES. UNIMPORTANT POINT TO MAKE WAS A POWER OUTAGE IN TENNESSEE RIGHT NOW. 70,000 CUSTOMERS LEFT WITH POWER AND WE TALKED ABOUT ARE CAUGHT IN THE ELECTRICITY ISSUE. YOU CAN SEE THAT WOULD BE WISE AND EVERYONE IS BRACING FOR WHAT IS AHEAD EXTENDING THIS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. >>> IS THERE ANY RELIEF IN SIGHT SITE? MICHELLE GROSSMAN IS HERE. GOOD MORNING. >> WE'VE BEEN TRACKING THIS FOR WEEKS AND WEEKS. AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK IT. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS AND REALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. YOU'RE GONNA SEE THAT LATER ON TODAY. ALSO WATCHING A CHANCE FOR STRONG STORMS IN THE MIDDLE THE COUNTRY. YOU CAN SEE BRIGHT COLORS WITH RED ORANGE AND YELLOWS ACROSS THE PLAINS AND A CHANCE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS LATER ON TODAY AND ALSO A CHANCE FOR SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS IN THE NORTHEAST. THERE IS A COLD FRONT THAT IS MOVING THROUGH TO THE EAST. IT IS BRINGING A CHANCE FOR STORMS COMING FROM MAINE TO SOUTH CAROLINA. THAT IS WHERE WE DO ANTICIPATE THE CHANCE OF HEAVY RAINFALL. OVER SIX INCHES IN SOME SPOTS FOR THE NORTHEAST. YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THIS ACROSS THE NEW ENGLAND AREA AND THAT COULD LEAD TO SOME FLOODING AS IT DID LAST NIGHT. A QUARTER INCH TO UP TO A FULL INCH LEFT WHERE WE ARE ANTICIPATING HEAVY DOWNPOURS. LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS HERE AS WELL AND IT'S HARD TO SEE WHERE THAT WILL RESOLVE. 6 MILLION ARE STILL AT RISK. DAMAGING HAIL AND TORNADOES. YOU CAN SEE IT OFF THE TOLL THAT IS LIKELY THE SPOT WHERE HE WILL SEE THE STORMS. IN THIS GRAPHIC SHOWS YOU WHERE YOU CAN BEAT THE HURRICANE FORCE WIND YOUR TULSA WOODWARD AND DODGE CITY. STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH A CHANCE OF A TORNADO. THEN YOU HAVE RECORD HIGHS GOING INTO THE TRIPLE DIGITS ONCE AGAIN. LOOK AT THE HEAT ALERT COMING FROM THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE STATE. IT IS STRETCHING IT A PARTS OF THE OHIO VALLEY GOING INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND KENTUCKY AND MORE. YOU CAN SEE THAT COMING FROM THURSDAY BUT THIS HEAT BAND WILL EXPAND AND ACRE IN PLACE. 45 MILLION AMERICANS HAVE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS ONCE AGAIN. TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS. HOUSTON AT 100 DEGREES. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THAT HUMIDITY COMING IN 107. 109 IN SHREVEPORT. THESE NUMBERS WILL BE VERY SIMILAR AS YOU GO TOWARD TOMORROW AND THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK. >>> COMING UP ON MORNING NEWS NOW YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE CUTEST LITTLE RAPPER IN THE GAME. >>> LATER IN THIS HOUR WE WILL INTRODUCE YOU TO THIS FREESTYLE PHENOM WHO IS TAKING TIKTOK BY STORM. >>> NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE INVESTIGATION OF THE IMPLOSION OF >>> WELCOME BACK.

BEING ABLE TO SUPPRESS NEGATIVE MOTIONS AND WHAT IS BEING NEEDED IN THIS AREA. WE FIND THAT MANY OF THEM ACTUALLY HAVE THIS AND THOSE THAT DO ARE LESS LIKELY TO RESPOND TO ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND WHAT WE MIGHT GET HERE. IT IS SO HELPFUL TO KNOW BECAUSE SOME OF THESE MEDICATIONS ARE NOT WORKING AND WE FIND DIFFERENT TREATMENTS WHICH AGAIN CAN LIKELY CONTROL THE TRENDS LIKE WHAT HAVE BEEN HERE WITH COGNITIVE THERAPY AND GOLD STANDARDS. WE FIND THAT A VARIETY OF THESE ALREADY EXIST. >> WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER OFFICIALLY ONE WEEK INTO THE SUMMER BUT TEMPERATURES ARE SOARING AROUND THE COUNTRY. THIS MEANS THAT MORE PEOPLE MIGHT BE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THEIR PARENTS HAVING TO WEAR A BATHING SUIT DO YOU RECOMMEND ANY STRATEGIES TO HELP DEAL WITH THE STRESS THAT COMES WITH THE SUMMER? >> WE'VE BEEN WEARING BAGGY SWEATPANTS AND THERE ARE THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND DON'T AVOID SOCIAL INTERACTION AS A RESULT OF FEARING THIS MAKE ADJUSTMENTS SOME OF THOSE MAY BE MENTAL SUCH AS FRAMING SITUATIONS INSTEAD OF SAYING HOW HORRIBLE DO I LOOK YOU CAN SAY HOW MUCH DOES THIS DO FOR ME?

WEST VIRGINIA AND OTHER SMALLER STATES WILL RECEIVE ONE OF THE BIGGEST LEVELS OF MONEY WITH MORE THAN $1 BILLION AND THIS IS NO SMALL PLAYER IN THE WHITE HOUSE ACTIVITIES AS OF LATE.

GOOD MORNING TO BOTH OF YOU AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU WITH US. LET'S START WITH YOU. LET'S GIVE SOME BACKGROUND CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP AND HOW THIS WAS STARTED? >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. THE PROGRAM WAS FIRST STARTED AS A PROGRAM FOR THE SOCIAL JUSTICE PROGRAM IN 2015. IT WAS ACTUALLY TWO YEARS FOR US TO ALLOW CREDIT IN THIS AREA. BUT WE DID OFFER REAL AND RIGOROUS CREDIT BEARING CLASSES IN CONNECTICUT. WE HAD 600 PEOPLE AND 1500 OF THOSE APPLIED FOR THE FIRST 12 IN THE SEMINAR. THAT DEMONSTRATES TO US THE EXTRAORDINARY NEED FOR PROGRAMS LIKE THIS. AND A DESIRE TO ENROLL IN THEM. WE WERE ABLE TO ESTABLISH IN INCREDIBLE PARTNERSHIP ACROSS THE UNIVERSITY THAT WAS FUNDED THROUGH A TRANSFORMATIVE GRANT IN THE FOUNDATION SO THAT WE COULD BEGIN TO OFFER DEGREES FOR THOSE IN SIGHT. THE PROGRAM IS EXTREMELY RIGOROUS WITH THAT SAME LEVEL OF COURSES AND DIRECTORS ON CAMPUS. IT COULD BE REALLY COMPETITIVE GETTING IN AND IS FUNDED BY PRIVATE GRANT FOUNDATIONS. >> YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED EVEN MORE INCREDIBLE LEVELS. YOUR PART OF THE FIRST PIONEERING CLASSES. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU AND WHAT WAS YOUR MOTIVATION FOR WANTING TO GET YOUR DEGREE? >> THANK YOU FIRST AND FOREMOST FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY AND FOR HELPING WITH THE GRADUATION. THE DRIVING FORCE TO ENROLL IN THIS INITIATIVE WAS MY GRANDMOTHER. SALLIE MAE HARVIN WHO DID DEPART THIS EARTH ON FEBRUARY 15th 2021. SHE IS MY SOUL MOTIVATING FACTOR PURSUING HIGHER EDUCATION.

BY THE HELP OF GOD AND HIS GRACE THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO. >> THAT MUST BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE. MANY OF THE STUDENTS WHO ENTER THIS PROGRAM MAY FEEL MARGINALIZED NOT THINKING HIGHER EDUCATION WITH THE POSSIBILITY FOR THEM. WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO SEE THIS FIRST GRADUATING CLASS? >> IT IS A REAL TESTAMENT TO THE EXTRAORDINARY PRINCIPLES. AND THIS SORT OF BRAINPOWER THAT WE ALL HAVE LOCKED AWAY BEHIND BARS. THE MISSION OF THIS PROGRAM IS SEEKING EDUCATION FOR AROUND THE WORLD. THIS IS THE UNIVERSITY THAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO INVEST IN FUTURE LEADERS WHO MIGHT BE IMPACTED OR IMPRISONED TODAY OR ALSO OUT IN THE WORLD AND DOING EXTRAORDINARY WORK IN THE MARKET.

THE REASON WHY, WE HAVE AN ARE OF HIGH PRESSURE, HEAT DOME IS WHAT WE ARE CALLING IT, PARKED IN PLACE THE JET STREAM IS SORT O CUTTING THE COUNTRY INTO TWO WE HAVE AN AREA OF LOW PRESSUR TO THE NORTH OVER THE GREA LAKES. THIS IS A LOCKED PATTERN WE ARE LOOKING AT UNSEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES IN THE NORTHWEST. LOOKING AT UNSEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES IN THE NORTHEAST AS WELL, THE EXTREME NORTHEAST. WE ARE LOOKING AT AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE SPINNING IN TH HEAT, BRINGING IN TH TEMPERATURES AND ALSO TH MOISTURE AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE DAY, I WILL GET WORSE HEAT DOME INTENSIFIES AND GROW TO THE EAST, AND EXPANDING WE WILL SEE THE HEAT INTENDING INTO PORTIONS OF LOUISIANA KENTUCKY, TENNESSEE. THIS IS INTO THE JULY 4t WEEKEND. WE ARE LOOKING AT A HOT WEEKEN FOR MANY ST. LOUIS, 101 ON THURSDAY NASHVILLE WILL BE DANGEROUSL HOT TOO, NEAR 100 DEGREES. LITTLE ROCK INTO THE TRIPL DIGITS AS WELL AND LOOK AT FORT WORTH 102 ON WEDNESDAY, 103 ON THURSDAY THAT IS NOT COUNTING THE HUMIDITY IN THE AIR BECAUSE IT WILL FEEL WARMER THAN THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT RECORD BREAKING TEMPERATURES AN RELENTLESS TEMPERATURES FOR TH NEXT CUP OF DAYS AND LOOK AT THE DOTS WHERE YOU ARE EXPECTING TEMPERATURES THIS IS A HISTORIC STORY THROUGHOUT THIS WEEKEND, FINALLY SEEING A LITTLE SHIFT. WE WILL SEE THE RIDGE WEAKEN A BIT. HOPEFULLY BY NEXT WEEK WE AR LOOKING AT BETTER CONDITIONS WARM IN MEMPHIS. SUNDAY LOOKING AT 92 LET'S TALK ABOUT THE STORMS. WE HAD HEAVY RAINFALL OVERNIGH IN THE NORTHEAST TO TH MID-ATLANTIC PORTIONS OF THE CAROLINAS. THAT COLD FRONT IS PUSHING OFF INTO THE OCEAN WE ARE LOOKING AT HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE OCEAN WE WILL SEE MORE STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE MID-ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST WE COULD SEE STRONG STORMS AND LOOKING AT STORMS IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS BACK TO YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH >>> THIS MORNING, THE SUPREM COURT IS EXPECTED TO ISSUE RULINGS ON SEVERAL OUTSTANDING CASES, AMONG THEM SOME LANDMAR ISSUES WITH FAR REACHING IMPLICATIONS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CASES THA FOCUS ON AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, LGBTQ RIGHTS AND THE FUTURE OF PRESIDENT BIDEN'S STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM. FOR MORE ON THIS, WE ARE JOINE BY DANNY CEVALLOS, OUR LEGAL ANALYST. DP TO HAVE YOU WE TALKED ABOUT THE AFFIRMATIV ACTION CASES AND THERE IS ALSO THE STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM. THIS COULD IMPABLTH TH FINANCIAL FUTURES OF 40 MILLIO AMERICANS HERE WHAT IS AT STAKE HERE? >> THE IDEA IS CANCELLATION OF STUDENT DEBT, A WAIVER O MODIFICATION OF REGULATIONS RULES ALL OF THESE THING DOESN'T FIT WITHIN THE TWO WORDS. DOES THE PRESIDENT HAVE TH AUTHORITY TO CANCEL IT DEB UNDER LANGUAGE THAT SAYS WAIVE OR MODIFY? THAT OCCUPIED A LOT OF THE COURT'S TIME ANOTHER THING THAT OCCUPIED TH COURT'S TIME WHICH MEANS THE MAY NOT REACH THE ISSUE IS THE ISSUE OF STANDING. WHETHER OR NOT THESE STATES HAVE STANDING TO BRING THIS CASE IN THE FIRST PLACE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE JUSTICES POINTED OUT IS THEY DIDN'T SUE ON BEHALF OF AN ENTITY CALLED MOHELDA. THEY SUED ON BEHALF OF THE STATE. WHY THEY DIDN'T IS UNCLEAR THEY PROBABLY HAD STANDING T SUE. IT MAY HAVE BEEN A STRATEGIC DECISION BUT DO THE STATES HAVE STANDIN TO ASSERT PAIN OR HARM CAUSED TO AN ENTITY THAT COULD HAVE BEEN HARMED BY THE DEBT WHEN TH STATES REALLY HAVE A TENUOUS HARM THAT THEY ARE ALLEGING. INTERESTING ISSUES HERE. >> ALL RIGHT CASE INVOLVES A WEB DESIGNER WHO DENIED SERVES T SAME A SIX COUPLES A FEW YEARS AGO, WE HAD TH BAKERS SITUATION WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THIT ONE? >> THE ISSUE IS, IS TH PROVISION OF A WEB DESIG SERVICE, IS IT SPEECH OR A SALE? BECAUSE IF IT IS A SALE AND TH WEB DESIGNER DOESN'T WANT TO SELL TO SOMEONE BECAUSE OF WHO THEY ARE, THEN THAT PROBABLY VIOLATES COLORADO LAW. IF INSTEAD, WEB DESIGN I SPEECH, IS IT PLUG AND PLAY? ARE YOU TYPING WORDS INTO TEMPLATE FOR A WEB DESIGN? NOWADAYS, YOU CAN DESIGN ALL O THESE THINGS ON YOUR OWN B GOING ONLINE IS THIS PLUG AND PLAY AS IT IS CALLED OR IS IT ACTUAL SPEECH THAT IS WHAT THE COURT I GRAPPLING WITH, THE SALE OF PRODUCT IN WHICH YOU CAN'T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST PEOPLE OR IS IT SPEECH COMPELLED AGAINST VIOLATION OF WHAT THE SPOKER WANTS TO SAY IN WHICH CASE I BECOMES A FIRST AMENDMENT ISSUE. >> ALL OF THESE DECISIONS COMING ABOUT A YEAR AFTER THE SUPREME COURT OVERTURNED ROE V. WADE WE HAVE A RECENT POLL THAT FOUND AMONG REGISTERED VOTERS, 59% O AMERICANS DO NOT APPROVE OF TH JOB THAT THE SUPREME COURT I DOING. THIS FEELS LIKE SUCH A CHANG FROM YEARS AGO WHEN THE COUR SEEMED SORT OF TO BE ABOVE POLITICS DOES THIS TYPE OF DISPROVAL HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE JUSTICES AT ALL WHEN THEY ARE COMING T CONCLUSIONS? >> IT IS HARD TOREAD THEIR MINDS BUT IN MY OPINION, THE ANSWER IS A RE-SOUNDING NO FOR TWO REASONS. NUMBER ONE, THE ESSENCE OF SUPREME COURT, WE APPOINT OU JUSTICES AND FEDERAL JUDGES FO LIFE THAT IS CLOSE TO A MONARCHY BU WE DID IT FOR AN IMPORTANT REASON IT IS TO INSULATE THEM FRO POLITICS, TO INSULATE THEM FRO THE PEOPLE YOU SEE WITH TH SIGNS PICKETING OUT FRONT OF THE SUPREME COURT. THE CONSTITUTION IS DESIGNED S THAT THE JUSTICES DON'T CARE ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE BECAUSE THE JUSTICES AND THE COURT AND THE JUDICIARY AR SUPPOSED TO BE IMMUNE FROM OUTSIDE INFLUENCE. THE OTHER THING MORE PRACTICAL THE REASON I THINK THEY DON' WORRY ABOUT IT IS EVEN IF THEY THINK IT IS A PROBLEM, THE PROBABLY THINK IT IS THE OTHER SIDE'S FAULT IT'S THE CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES FAULT OR THE LIBERAL JUSTICES' FAULT. I THINK THEY SEE THEIR DUT DRIVEN BY THE LAW, WHETHER THE ARE LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE WHEN YOU GET TO LEVEL THESE ARE ACCOMPLISHED JUDGE AND LAWYERS. THEY ARE ABLE TO SEPARAT THEMSELVES FROM THE POLITICA CONTROVERSIES THAT REACH OUTSIDE OF THE COURTHOUSE, AT LEAST JOE, I HOPE >> ALL RIGHT, DANNY CEVALLOS, KNOW YOU WILL BE AROUND TO HEL US BREAK DOWN THE DECISIONS, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>> IN RUSSIA VLADIMIR PUTIN ADDRESSED MILITARY PERSONNEL I THE WAKE OF THE ABORTED MUTINY BY THE WAGNER GROUP. HE HAILED HIS FORCES FOR PREVENTING A CIVIL WAR COMMENTS COME AFTER THE RUSSIA SECURITY SERVICES DROPPED TH CASE INTO THE ARMED REBELLION. OUR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDEN KEIR SIMMONS HAS THE LATEST FROM MOSCOW, GOOD MORNING >> GOOD MORNING. PUTIN FROM BEHIND THE WALLS OF THE KREMLIN REASSERTING HIMSEL IN FRONT OF THE MASS RANKS O SECURITY SERVICES AND HOLDING MINUTE OF SILENCE FOR THOSE WH DIED IN THE EVENTS OVER TH WEEKEND AND TELLING THEM, NO TROOPS HAD TO BE PULLED AWAY FROM THE FRONT LINES IN UKRAINE. >> Reporter: LATE INTO THE NIGHT, PUTIN MET WITH HEADS OF SECURITY AND THIS MORNING, ANOTHE DRAMATIC ANNOUNCEMENT , CHARGE AGAINST THIS WEEKEND'S MUTINEERS HAVE BEEN DROPPED. VLADIMIR PUTIN ADDRESSED THE NATION AND FOCUSED ON ONE MAN. WHILE NEVER MENTIONING YEVGENY PRIGOZHIN BY NAME, SLAMMING WHAT WE CALLED A MUTINY LED TREASON FACING DOWN A DEFIANT PRIGOZHI BUT INSISTED IN HIS OWN 11 MINUTE MESSAGE THAT HE DID NOT TRY TO TOPPLE PRESIDENT PUTIN. RATHER HE SAID IT WAS A PROTES FOR HOW HIS WAGNER GROUP WAS BEING TREATED. AGAIN, DEMANDING CHANGES T RUSSIA'S MILITARY LEADERSHIP SAYING HE STOPPED THE BLOO SHOULD BUT HE WAS OFFERED EXIL IN BELARUS THIS MORNING, THE BELARU PRESIDENT, AN ALLY OF PUTI SAYING THAT REBELLION WA PAINFUL TO WATCH IF RUSSIA COLLAPSES, YOU WIL ALL DIE, HE SAID PRIGOZHIN'S WAGNER GROUP WAS CHEERED BY RUSSIANS AFTER THEY SAT DOWN ON SATURDAY SOME PEOPLE TOOK SELFIES THIS MORNING, PRESIDEN ZELENSKYY TRAVELLED TO THE FRONT LINES TO TAKE PICTURES WIT UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS AMID FALLOUT OF THE WEEKEND' EVENTS, HIS COUNTEROFFENSIVE I ADVANCING, HE SAYS, GIVING FEW DETAILS BUT CALLING MONDAY A HAPPY DAY. PRESIDENT BIDEN WITH HIS OWN MESSAGE TO RUSSIA. >> HE GAVE PUTIN NO EXCUSE T BLAME IT ON THE WEST OR NATO WE MADE CLEAR THAT WE WERE NOT INVOLVED WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT >> Reporter: HERE ON THE STREETS OF MOSCOW, ORDINARY RUSSIANS SHARING REACTION TO THES UNCERTAIN TIMES. PUTIN OVERNIGHT SAYING WAGNE TROOPS CAN JOIN THE RUSSIAN ARMY OR RETURN TO THEIR FAMILIES OR GO TO BELARUS. THE NATIONAL GUARD HERE WILL NOW GET HEY WEAPONS. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. LET'S BRING IN RETIRED COLONEL MAT DIMMIC FOR MORE ON THIS. GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US LET'S START WITH THE COMMENT FROM PUTIN DOES THE MESSAGING CHANGE TH WAY HE IS PERCEIVED AT ALL O THE WORLD STAGE? DOES IT REVEAL CRACKS IN THE PERSONA OR DOES IT REPAIR SOME OF THE DAMAGE THAT THE WAGNE GROUP INFLICTED OVER THE WEEKEND? >> I THINK PUTIN SUFFERED SOME NEAR TERM DAMAGE WITH TH INCIDENT BUT HE HAS PLENTY OF SOLDIERS AT HIS DISPOSAL TO RESTORE TH DAMAGE HE HAS ONE JOB, LEADER OF TH SYSTEM THAT HE HAS CREATED HE ENCOURAGES RIVALRY AMONG TH ELETES BUT IT IS HIS JOB TO MAKE SURE HE TAMPS DOWN ON TH RIVALRIES BEFORE THEY GET OUT OF CONTROL. IN THE CASE OF PRIGOZHIN, HE FAILED AT THAT TEST. HE IS SETTING OUT TO SHOW HE I FIRMLY IN THE CONTROL OF SECURITY SERVICES THAT DEMONSTRATED THEIR LOYALTY T PITCH IN WITH PRIGOZHIN. HE WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT HE IS FIRMLY IN COMMAND OF THE SECURITY SERVICES, HIS OWN SECURITY OF THE RUSSIA GOVERNMENT >> THIS REBELLION CAME TO QUICK END. IT ALLOWS PRIGOZHIN AND TROOPS TO GO INTO EXILE IN BELARU WITHOUT FACING PROSECUTION DO YOU THINK PRIGOZHIN REMAINS A THREAT TO PUTIN? IS THERE A WORLD IN WHICH HE I EMERGING AS A POLITICA ALTERNATIVE TO PUTIN >> I'M NOT SURE HE WAS A THREA TO PUTIN HE SET OUT TO DECAPITATE THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE AND WAS NO TARGETING HIM DIRECTLY THAT BEING SAID, PRIGOZHIN'S POWER WAS AT HIGH TIDE SINCE THEN, THE RUSSIA GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN SLOWLY CONSTRAINING THE ABILITY IT HAS BEEN DIMINISHING TH WAGNER GROUP PRIGOZHIN LOST ANY BIT OF HI POWER TO ACCEPT A DEAL WIT PUTIN. SO I THINK PRIGOZHIN HAS BEE TAKEN OFF THE TABLE EFFECTIVELY. PUTIN HAS EVERY TOOL AT HI DISPOSAL TO CONTINUE TO DISPENCE WITH PRIGOZHIN,. I THINK WE ARE SEEING THE END OF PRIGOZHIN AS ANY KIND OF POLITICAL FORCE OR THREAT TO PUTIN REGIME IN THE LONGTERM >> DOES THE DEAL BETWEEN RUSSI AND BELARUS CHANGE THE DYNAMICES AT ALL >> IT DOESN'T CHANGE THEY HAVE BEEN HEADED DOWN THI ROAD FOR ALONG TIME. BELARUS HAS BEEN A LOYAL ALL FOR PUTIN AND HAS BEEN WILLING TO GIVE UP BIG CHUNKS OF SOVEREIGNTY IN ORDER TO BE IN UNION WITH RUSSIA AND TO BE CLOSE ALLY OF PUTIN. THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF LUKASHENKO BEING HELPFUL T PUTIN BECAUSE IT SECURES HIS POSITION AS HIS POSITION I BELARUS. IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE DINALI BUT IT IS HELPFUL FOR LUKASHENKO TO PROVE HE IS A LOCAL ALLY. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANALYSIS THIS MORNING. >>> THIS MORNING, THERE IS A NAJER NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS HANDLING OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS.
