Of grieving and loss. Whats next for the island . The mayor joins me next. A donald trump could soon face a fourth indictment. I did nothing wrong. And now President Bidens son may go to trial himself. Its in the Public Interest to appoint a Special Counsel. Will legal troubles dosm nate this election . Oversight Committee Democrat dan goldman joins me to discuss ahead. Crunch time. Its political season at the iowa state fair. Give careful consideration to the choice you will make. With the debate in less than two weeks the gop should be a party that appreciates a competition of ideas. Who will be on stage . Will herd joins me in moments. Hello. Im jake tapper in washington request the state of our union in shock. The fire that swept through maui this week is now the deadliest u. S. Wildfire in more than 100 years officials said last night with at least 93 people dead, and that figure is tragically expected to only grow as Emergency Workers uncover more scenes of horror, lines of abandoned cars. Homes reduced to ash as people ran for their lives, some of them running into the sea, where some floated for hours battling fumes and watching their city burn. The ocean off lahaina, hawaii, will also need to be dredged for bodies. Those who recover ask desperately for help and information, and top Officials Say they are still battling dangerous circumstances on the ground and pledge to give hawaii all the resources it needs to recover and to investigate why the island of maui was not more prepared for this disaster. Joining us now live from hawaii, senator meisi hor row know, a democrat, who spent yesterday surveying the dang on the island of maui with the governor and director of fema. Senator, thanks for joining us. Im so sorry its under these tragic circumstances. You toured the devastation first hand yesterday. What did you see, and what did you hear from people on the ground . The entire Historic Town of lahaina burned to the ground. The images of cars totally they have been demolished. We saw cars near the ocean, and its quite clear the occupants of those cars probably fled into the ocean. And i was told at least 12 people were rescued from the ocean in that location. But to see all of these charred, totally demolished cars. But the scenes of devastation will stay with me. And that is why i really thank the president for declaring an Emergency Declaration within hours of being asked to do that by the state of hawaii. And i was there with the family of federal agencies, including the administrator of fema, sba, u. S. Fire, and 150 fema people are there. They brought in sadly cadaver dogs to continue the esearch. What is it like for you on a personal level, on an emotional level, to see this kind of horrific destruction and loss of life in your beloved home state . Many of us have stayed in lahaina. I did too. It is an iconic town and so many people went there because its really very historic. It was the seat of the monarchy, the capital of the monarchy, and there were many historic buildings, including i have to say this massive banyan tree, 150 years old, the Old Esteban Yan tree in the country. And my hope is that it will be restored. But very importantly, yes, as i said yesterday, we are in a period of mourning and loss as we search for more people who are still unl accounted for. Some of them have been found in the shelters. I visited one with some residents sleeping on cots. And we are going to need to provide them with shortterm and longterm housing. But we are all there en masse to do that. Ordinary hawaii residents have been mobilizing to support the victims of these fires. As you note, fema is there and other Government Agencies. My colleague bill weir is reporting from maui, and hes hearing from people there who are still desperate for more help from the government, people who are wondering where is the navy, where is the army, why isnt the military flooding into the region, where are the hospital ships, et cetera . Are you satisfied that Everything Possible is being done to ensure these hawaiians are getting all the help that they need from the government . I can understand why there is frustration because, as i said, we are in a period of shock and loss. From what i can see, the Government Agencies are there. They are going to set up areas so people can come and get their drivers license restored, all of those kinds of things. But yes, they are going to need a lot of help, and from what i saw, there is a pledge. President biden called me directly to pledge his support because we know that recovery will be long and the resources will be necessary. I have also heard from my senate colleagues, Chuck Schumer and others, pledging their support. Recovery will take a lot of resources. And the focus right now is truly on the recovery. There are still people who are unaccounted for. They need to be identified. There is a call for people to come in to provide dna. So we are in still i would say the initial phases, but were going to do everything we can to provide the kind of support that people will need. To were also hearing from hawaiians questions about how this could have happened. There was a statewide assessment released last year saying that the threats of hawaii residents from wildfires was low. A 2021 Maui Report On Wildfire Prevention efforts found that the county Fire Department had no actual plan for preventing fires. And then im sure as youve heard personally, many maui residents say they didnt receive any official warnings before it was too late. And state officials are acknowledging that none of the 80 warning sirens on maui were ever activated. Why do you think officials were so unprepared for this . Im not going to make any excuses for this tragedy, but the Attorney General has launched a review of what happened with those sirens and some of the other actions that were taken. So that is happening. There will be time enough i would say for those kinds of reviews and investigations to occur. But we are really focused, as far as im concerned, on the need for rescue well, the location of we know sadly more bodies. And as i talk with the people e who are at this large place where the residents were, yes, were going to need to provide a lot of support. That is why im asking for and i expect to receive bipartisan support for additional funds that will enable us to recover. That recovery is going to take time. It is not going to be overnight by any means. It will take years. This is an entire town that has burned to the ground. Some 11,000 residents live there and the tourists who were there, thousands were evacuated to what humanely, and the airlines really stepped up to lower their fees, and the hotels have also stemmed up to provide lodging for our visitor. So i think we are doing a lot in order to provide the kind of support we need to be providing. But there will always be the call for more. And my hope and expectation is that all of that will come. Experts warn that extreme disasters such as this one are only becoming more common because Climate Change is fueling stronger storms, hotter temperatures. Yes. More widespread droughts. Earlier this week President Biden incorrectly claimed he had already declared a Climate Emergency, which would give him additional powers to combat the climate crisis. Given what youre seeing on the ground, do you want President Biden to actually declare a Climate Emergency . I think that we need to very much acknowledge Climate Change is upon us. There are whole states by the way you cant use the words Climate Change because they have a head in the sand attitude. But the Production Act provided some 300 billion to combat Climate Change and to move us away from continuing to rely on fossil fuels. Yes, there is more that needs to be done, and there will be Lessons Learned from this ongoing tragedy for the other counties as well as the county of maui. Clearly, wildfires is an occurrence in hawaii. People dont realize that acres are burned in hawaii as in so many other states. In terms of the percentage of acreage burnled, hawaii is on a par with other states. There is not enough recognition that we are going to need to combat these kinds of wildfires. We have situation where is the tremendously high winds that were attendant to Hurricane Dora just resulted in these flames just leaping and spread ing in just i cant even tell you how fast the flames spread. So we need to be assessing our ability to contend with these kinds of natural occurring disasters, which we are seeing more of. And the frequency and the damage that is done, clearly this is happening all across the world. Yeah. Senator mazie hirono, we thank you for your time. And our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of hawaii. Thank you. Thank you so much for being with us. Thank you.

Some shocking news just in this morning broken by cnn in georgias election interference probe. Prosecutors tell cnn that they can connect or sources tell cnn that prosecutors can connect a 2021 Voting System breach to the top levels of Donald Trumps inner circle. Sources tell cnn that atlanta prosecutors have Text Messages and emails that directly connect members of trumps legal team to the 2021 breach of a Voting System in georgias coffee county. This comes as a grand jury presentation in georgia is expected to start as soon as tomorrow, and that could potentially result in a fourth indictment for donald trump. Republican president ial candidate will herd, former texas congressman, joins us now. Thanks for being here. Appreciate it. So, what is your response . Prosecutors say, according to our sources, that they have evidence that the trump team was involved in this breach of election equipment. Well, as someone whos helped i helped built cybersecurity companies. I think this is an example of to how this is not about the first amendment. This is about a president trying to overturn an election and creating a conspiracy. This kind of infrastructure is considered critical infrastructure, and its supposed to be defended. The trump team tried to get access in other places, and they went through the Legal Process and courts gave access to some of the information. In this case, they werent getting it, so they tried to take it themselves. To me its an indication of how fragile our Election System is and how Donald Trumps efforts were making us increase our lack of trust in our systems. And one more example of why donald trump is running for president is because hes trying to stay out of jail because, as more of this information comes out, and as the American People recognize the extent of his baggage, theyre getting sick and tired of it. Well, polls indicate that republicans are . All the polls im seeing suggest that most republicans believe this lie about the election that has been fed to them by not only donald trump but fox and other rightwing media and other people on capitol hill who are lying about the election being stolen when obviously we know thats not the case. These are the same pollsters that foughti felt issue one in ohio would get passed and it was crushed. These are the same people in 2022 that said Kevin Mccarthy would have a majority in the house. Heres a reality. When i crisscross the state, whether im in New Hampshire or iowa, california, alabama, people come up to me and they say, hey, youre right, he is running to stay out of prison. So im not questioning his frontrunner status, but what i am saying is that many people dont want to see donald trump or joe biden be the nominees. And people are looking for something different. And guess what . If they want to have these things happen, if those people want to see something different, i need them to go to hurdforamerica. Com, help me get on the debate stage. All i need is 1 donation to make sure i hit those thresholds. In order to get on that stage in two weeks, you need to hit a polling threshold, a donor threshold, 40,000, and you need to sign the rnc debate pledge. You think youre going to hit the first two . Thats correct. I can say all of jake tappers friends watching tv helped put me help me put that 40,000 threshold by going to hurdforamerica. Com. Look, jake, i said it before, im not going to lie to get access to a microphone. Ive never signed a contract without making amendments to it. And unfortunately, you know, since 2015 ive been the only person in this race that has been critical of donald trump and talked about how hes a National Security threat. And so my goal is to hit all those requirements and force the conversation. And guess what . Donald trump hasnt even agreed to sign the debate pledge. Donald trump hasnt even agreed to show up to the debate. And it was donald trump and his team that got the rnc to put this loyalty up because he wanted all the other candidates to bend a knee to him. I wont do that. Ive been honest about that. But again, were working hard to hit those other requirements. And the pledge says that whoever if you participate in the debate, you will support whoever the nominee is. Youre right, donald trump said i think just yesterday or maybe the day before that hes there are three or four people he would never support, so hes expressed ed skepticism. That does suggest you wont be on the debate stage. Srnl isnt that an end for you . We have the next ten days. I want to force that conversation and see what happens. If donald trump doesnt participate, what is the rnc going to do . Thr a lot of variables at play here. My issue is not support the republican nominee. My issue is not supporting donald trump. Hes not running for president to make America Great again. Hes running to stay out of prison. Would you vote for biden over trump . My plan is to vote for myself. Thats plan a. 12345 some of your 2024 rivals are blasting Merrick Garlands appointment of the Special Counsel, david weiss, in the hunter biden probe. They claim its a coverup even though people asked previously for weiss to get the special powers. What do you make of the appointment of Special Counsel . I think a Special Counsel should have been appointed in this case. The question is this the individual that looked like trying to negotiate a Sweetheart Deal for hunter biden on those two other cases. The question most conservatives have, is he going to use the full extent of his powers in order to prosecute this, or will this be an effort to shield information going to what do you think . Look, time is going to tell. Ive made it very clear that doj should show a level of transparency that theyve never shown in their history because of the sensitivity of all these cases, whether its the documents case and the January 6th Case against donald trump or its whats happening against hunter biden. Theres a lack of trust in our institutions, and the only way you can repair trust is by showing a level of transparency. And thats what is called for in all of these cases. Again, i think the whistleblower that talked about hunter biden calling his dad when he had clients on the line, the reality, the inner circle or the immediate family of the president should not be allowed to be lobbyists or consultants when their father or their husband is the president of the United States. Yeah. I mean, that call, just fyi, took place in twelfth when joe biden was not in office. I want to ask you about immigration, because you used to represent a border district, and just on thursday, a 3yearold child who was aboard a bus of Asylum Seekers died. The bus had been headed to chicago from texas as part of Texas Governor greg abbotts program, sending Asylum Seekers who had come into texas to democraticrun cities across the country. Obviously a horrible incident. Do you support what Governor Abbott is doing in shipping these migrants . And what about this little boy . Any death is unacceptable, and we should all be saddened from it and try to prevent death from happening. But 100 people died just last month in texas because of these policies. Because of open borders . Because of open borders. Because were not to stocking traffickers and Human Smugglers, not addressing root causes and places like the northern tri triangle. We should be upset about all of this. 5. 5 Million People coming into the country is unacceptable. Last year 141 people drowned in the rio grande river, and nobody was talking about that. The policies of joe biden are the ones that are inhumane. He need to start treating Human Smugglers like terrorist organizations. We need address the fentanyl. I think fentanyl is a precursor of a weapon of mass destruction. We need to treat wit that level of focus. We need to look at allies in south and central america, something joe biden hasnt been doing, and donald trump was terrible at that. These are the things we need to do and the conversations we should be having. Thats why americans are both sick and tired of both donald trump and joe biden and all their legal baggage, because there are a lot more issues we should be addressing that we havent. Congressman will hurd. Thank you. Up next, the president s Attorney General picks a Special Counsel to investigate hunter biden. What is that going to look like .

Comcast business, powering possibilities. Welcome back to state of the union. Im jake tapper. A Special Counsel, an electionyear trial, im talking of course about hunter biden. After the collapse of his plea talks with the Justice Department and the naming of a Special Counsel to investigate him. Joining me now is a member of the House Oversight committee, democratic congressman dan goldman of new york. Congressman goldman, thanks so much for joining us. So Attorney General garland said he believed it was in the Public Interest to appoint david weiss as Special Counsel overseeing the biden probe. Do you agree . Is it in the Public Interest . Well, i defer to the Attorney Generals determination on this. What we now know is that david weiss, the trumpappointed u. S. Attorney in delaware, was right all along, that he did have ultimate authority. And when he asked Special Counsel status because the Plea Agreement has broken down and he may have to charge hunter biden outside of his own district, which he requires Additional Authority to do, he got it. And this is another reflection of the true independence of this department of justice, a trumpappointed u. S. Attorney investigating the president s son. That is pretty remarkable. And you dont hear from The Other Side A respect for the fact that joe biden has stayed out of this investigation. And so i defer to Merrick Garland and david weiss. If hunter biden has committed crimes, he should be charged with them. Im a democrat saying that. You dont hear any currently elected republican saying that if donald trump committed crimes he should be charged with them and held accountable. Thats a critical distinction that the public needs to understand. So, House Republicans say and we kind of heard former Congressman Will HurdSay Something similar just now, hey, u. S. Attorney, maybe a trump appointee but also has signed off on this slap of the wrist, Sweetheart Deal, their words, not mine, when it came to hunter biden being charged with two misdemeanors and a Diversion Program instead of full felony charges. Therefore, Speaker Mccarthy and other Republicans Say david weiss cant be trused to be the Special Counsel. What do you say to that . Well, no one knows what the evidence is, so when they say this is a Sweetheart Deal, they are blowing smoke, because they have no idea. And so this is to my mind, having been a federal prosecutor for ten years, not at all a Sweetheart Deal. This is something routinely treat treated in a civil way, through civil penalties, not criminally. Yet hunter biden was charged with crimes. This is a fiveyear investigation. They looked at everything. We know that from testimony in the oversight committee. They had foreign bank records, they had Domestic Bank records, Hundreds Of Thousands of documents. And this is ultimately what they thought they could charge. Now, in the ordinary course, you would not give immunity for other conduct than what is charged. But this is not the ordinary course because you have a petty, vindictive Bully Running for president on the Republican Party who will use revenge and weaponize the department of justice to potentially charge hunter biden. So even though im sure hunter biden has confidence that david weiss will not charge him with additional crimes, they have no confidence that if donald trump wins that he would weaponize the department of justice to charge hunter biden, go back and charge him. Thats why this Plea Agreement has broken down, because of the threat of Donald Trumps weaponization of the department of justice if he were to become president. You said that President Biden has stayed out of it, i know you meant in terms of interfering with the department of justice. But i want to play something the president said in an interview a few months ago. My son has done nothing wrong. I trust him. I have faith in him. You understand this is a dad talking about his son, but its also the president of the United States talking about a potential defendant in a case that his Justice Department is prosecuting. Also he was about to plead guilty to some of the things he did wrong. Does the president need to stop publicly saying his son did nothing wrong . Well, look, i think the president has been havery clear that hes going to let the process play out. What we do know is through all of the investigations in congress, they are simp liv investigating a private citizen. Hunter biden is not running for president. And joe biden is running for president , and he is the president , yet not withstanding all of the time, effort, the moving goal posts, theres no evidence connecting president bide son any of his sons dealings. You can sing all you want and make all sorts of accusations, but the fact of the matter that President Biden theres been no evidence to show hes been involved in anything. So hunter biden will be treated by the department of justice as he should be, but Congress Needs to stop investigating a private citizen and stop this Fishing Expedition to try to link President Biden to Hunter Bidens conduct when there is no evidence to support that. Well, devin archer, Hunter Bidens business partner, told you in closeddoor testimony that hunter would put his father on speakerphone with while he was meeting with his Business Associates, and this happened at least 20 times. And archer told you that hunter would use these calls to send signals to his Business Partners to create the impression that his father was involved and helpful to his business even if youre right, as there has been no establishment of any facts that joe biden did anything as Vice President or president relatedly. But shouldnt President Biden have realized what hunter was doing here, getting on the phone, talking on speakerphone with his Business Associates . Didnt he at the very least show a major lapse of judgment and a blind spot with his son and how he handled this . Look, i think that same witness also made very clear that they never discussed business, that hunter biden was trying to promote an illusion of access to his father for his own reasons. Thats hunter biden. And you can make it whatever judgment you want to make about whether that was appropriate or not. But the president saying hello to people when his son puts them on the phone is not at all doing anything to influence any policy, to use his position for any nefarious purposes. In fact, what we do know is that the only official action the president took related to Hunter BidensBusiness Interests was detrimental to Hunter BidensCompany Business interest. It was detrimental to burisma as devin archer, this new star witness for the republicans said, because burisma had the corrupt Prosecutor General quote, and i quote the witness, under control, and that that was a good thing for that Prosecutor General to be in office, and yet joe biden urged ukraine, the ukrainian government, to fire that Prosecutor General. Thats the only connection that President Biden had with any of hunters business dealings. All right. Congressman dan goldman, thank you so much for your time today. Appreciate it. Thank you.

Neither of us do well in a number two position. You have to be willing to stand up and support the team. We are not taking any chances. Were way up in the polls in iowa and all over the country. Welcome back to state of the union. Its time for the iowa state fair. My panel joins me now to talk about it all. So, lets start with former republican congressman do you see any winners here . Are xwyou excited about any of these candidates . Im excited about somebody were not talking about very much, tim scott. Hes got broad appeal. My uncle, who is a democrat, is, like, if he is on the ticket, i will vote republican for him. He just seems to be to everyone, to me, who knows him personally, reasonable. Hes just reasonable. Hes always willing to step outside of the republican box to solve a problem. And i appreciate that. You know him from South Carolina. Do you agree with that assessment . No, i do think that for many individuals tim scott is someone who represents what they want the Republican Party to be. Tim scott is actually very, very conservative. I dont think that people really give that a great deal of value. He has one of the most conservative voting records up there. But he does have to answer for the record back home in South Carolina and many of the failures and the wellbeing of the state of South Carolina. But all in all, he is a friend of mine, and hes somebody who is at least palatable is that the right word . Hes palatable on the republican side. Hes better than a lot of these guys running. But at the end of the day, this race is Donald Trumps alone. Trumps been trolling a lot of the candidates out there. Specifically trolling ron desantis, which is the campaign they spend most of their time on. Trump went to the iowa fair. He was on the plane more than on the ground. Quite a long time. Long flight for a short cakewalk. You want to show people youre going to earn it. Desantis was doing the fair, doing the rides with his kids, trying to finish the 99county circuit. Trump is trying to push the narrative and to some degree successfully so far that Everybody Else is just ants under my boot. Thats how hes portraying the race, and that sounds like hell be like that in a debate, which it doesnt like like hell participate in. Why should he if theyre within Spitting Distance . Should he participate . I do believe he should as well as joe biden. With Robert Kennedy jr. And yes. Yeah. Throw dr. West in there too. Both of the frontrunners seem to have the attitude that its us and the American People do not have a say, they do not have a choice, so were not going to give audience to the other peasants. Taken for granted. Earn the vote. Earn the vote. As far as the republicans, bad news there, senator tim scott notwithstanding, this man is saying that racism does not exist in america. I got a problem with that. I agree with Brother Bakari in that hes somewhat palatable. But any aware black person would say that someone who does not believe in racism needs to s p a specialist. Terms of donald trump participating in the debate, why . What political value is there if youre beating everybody by 40 points, to sit up there and get bludgeoned by Chris Christie and Everybody Else . Weve seen ron desantis debate twice. When he ran for governor. He debated Andrew Gillam and got destroyed. I was the moderator. I dont know that he got destroyed, but anyway, keep going. He got so destroyed that he won the race and so destroyed that he won by 20 points for reelection. First of all, we both could have beat charlie crist. But he didnt perform in that debate well either. Ron desantis is not going to be a good debater. When hes on that debate stage with others, even if will hurd makes the debate stage, hes a brilliant man, if he makes the debate stage, it will be very difficult for someone like ron desantis or donald trump. I worked with will hurd. Ive seen him in hearings. He is hes actually pretty hes so smart. Hes pretty phenomenal. Get a point across and make people understand and feel it. Thats the whole hes a great communicator. With former President Donald Trump on the stage, he has nothing to lose, but hes treating them like peasants, as i said. But hes a street fighter. I mean, the man flew into iowa during a fireside chat, took all the oxygen out of the room, and as you pointed out, scott, he barely walked the ground. Then during the chat that December Desantis was having with the governor, he had a a plane was flying by saying be more likable, ron. Theyre not ready for the show that donald j. Trump can put together. Its not about being smart. Its about this is about other s are making it stick. Be more likable is when ron desantis was being prepared for a debate, i think the gillam debate, and someone told him be more likable. I dont know if you support desantis, but i do sense some hopes for his campaign from you if thats okay to characterize. Do you think hes succeeding at being more likable . No one of the nontrump candidates is succeeding at consolidating the nontrump path of the Republican Party. Thats his main problem is the fragmentation. You have all these people out there. Some have come, but none have gone yet. And until that happens, know how any of them, desantis, tim scott, or anybody else, are going to get near donald trump. Look at all the surveys nationally. Hes at 50 or just above. Even in iowa, trump is still well over 40 in the surveys right now, which is more than enough to win the race. 215,000 votes in this thing and hes already sitting at 40 of it . Its hard to imagine the fragment take doing anything other than putting a handle on the rest of the field. I just want to change the subject for one second to hunter biden because we had democratic minnesota congressman Dean Phillips on the show on the lead on friday, and he is somebody out whos saying that there should be a primary challenge to President Biden and expressing concerns about biden in 2024. And heres what he had to say about the Special Counsel being appointed. I think its fairly clear that hunter biden, a former addict, this is unsavory, probably unethical and possibly illegal to, some of what he did. We will find out. I dont think it touches the president. But we all know what kind of an era we live in. Its not whats real. Its how people feel. Do you share that concern . Yeah, i do. Theres a False Equivalency that some republicans are trying to draw. Theres a difference between former President Trump being indicted so many times ive lost count now and soon to be four potentially to help you out. And then hunter biden, the son of the current president its not equivalent. Its not an equivalency. Let the investigation take place. If theres something there, lets have at it. But until then thats the difference between democrats and our republican colleagues. If hunter biden committed a crime, hold him accountable. Thats right. You dont have any democrats running around saying, oh, my god, lets let him walk free. Sure you do. Thats what the biden Justice Department wanted to do by giving him a sweetheart immunity deal. They literally said lets let him walk free. You saw Merrick Garland say lets have a Special Counsel. The reasons you have that is to take this case to trial outside of your district. Thats why you need that role and that jurisdiction. Let the investigation play out. Thats fine with me. I love you. I take issue with that because you out of everyone knows that i have held the former President Donald Trump accountable. True. The Biggest Issue i have with the current president is this is happening in his family. Its like the biden crime family. Pano ai chooses tmobile for business for 5g solutions.
