Smarter, which won by morning. Got it. Got abbas, daughter, youve got this is cnn Breaking News youre live in the cnn newsroom. Im jim acosta in washington. We do begin this hour with Breaking News out of the middle east. Israels military says it has rescued a hostage from a hamas tunnel in southern gaza. He had been held captive since the Terror Attacks of october 7. The father of 11, and spent the last 320 six days as a prisoner there he is in the hospital right there a short time ago reuniting with his brother, cnns jim sciutto joins us now from tel aviv jim, the details of been trickling in whats the latest that youve learned . Well, first of all, certainly youre happy fomin moment for, for him and for his family after these painful days, weeks, and months captivity. But this has also been quite a rarity for the idf of the close to 250 hostages taken on october 7, only aides have been freed alive via Military Operations. And this is the first one based on the details provided to us by the idf that took place inside a tunnel so in gaza, the first hostage to be rescued alive from that dangerous complex of tunnels underneath gaza, where not only are hamas fighters hiding, but also it is believed many of the hostages have been held and are being held. So quite an operation, quite a difficult one the idf says it was based on intelligence, special Commando Units were involved, including a elite engineering commando unit, which has been tasked with the jobs specifically of carrying out operations inside those tunnels. So in what has been a painful and remember, were coming up on the oneyear anniversary of the october 7 attacks in the midst of what has been a painful nearly a year. This is a rare moment of success for the idf, but also a rare moment of happen venus for those Hostage Families yeah, jim, i mean, this is a reminder that these hostages could very well be alive. Many of them could very well be alive and i wonder how much of this is going to impact the negotiations for a hostage release. What do you think well, those negotiations continue. I was told by a u. S. Official with knowledge of the talks that they made progress over the weekend to the point where they are discussing some of the final details included the names of Palestinian Prisoners held by israel that would be released in exchange for israeli hostages that continue to be held in gaza. But as you know, jim, theres been an enormous amount of pressure inside this country, particularly from Hostage Families, but not just Hostage Families from members of the public. Other senior Government Officials inside netanyahus government, who want to move forward with the deal to get the bulk of or all the remaining hostages out and out quickly because yes, while many are believed to be alive sadly, many are believed to have died already. And of course, the pressure is that over time, more might not survive just last week, the idf very than an operation that brought back the bodies of six hostages who sadly had already been killed or passed away since their captivity. And ill just i want to read a quote from the hostages forum. This is a group that represents Hostage Families that gets exactly to this point jim, because they released a statement, of course, praising this rescue, calling it nothing short of miraculous. But going on to say that Military Operations alone cannot free the remaining 108 hostages a negotiated deal is the only way forward. So a lot of certainly a happy day here. But for those remaining families and there are a lot of them they want their moment to and many there are are insisting that an associated deal is the only way to achieve that all right jim sciutto live for us in tel aviv. Thank you very much. Turning now to the race for the white house, the highly anticipated president ial debate between donald trump and Kamala Harris. Now just two weeks away that is if there is one, this is what trump said yesterday. Quote, if theres a debate, lets take a listen they flew almost 1 Million People in over the border. They flew that stops all of that. I shouldnt say this because if theres a debate, it would be nice to surprise her with that one cnns Alayna Treene joins us now, alayna at where does this Debate Dispute stand now, i mean, we have to think its going to happen. Theyre going to hammer out these rules, but were not there yet. Right . Were in this weird process of will they or wont they . The debate over the debate. Look when i talked to Donald Trumps senior advisors they say that they do believe that they have an obligation to debate that donald trump himself actually wants to debate the big question is just how will it look and what are going to be the parameters around this . And thats really what this is. I mean, its, its frustrating and im sure for our viewers as well, its a very processing thing about really what it comes down to is whether or not the mics will be muted at certain points in the debate or if theyll be allowed to be on for the entire discussion and it really comes down to jim, i think the idea fact that both campaigns recognize how high stakes this debate is it really could be one of the last defining moments of this entire election cycle. They also remember how when you look at june 27 debate between trump and biden, that really is what set off the chain of a fans that led to biden ending his campaign. And so whats really happening now Behind The Scenes is both sides are jockeying for some sort of edge over the other candidate. Now i can tell you, i mean, the interesting thing about the Trump Campaigns argument is joe biden was the one initially for that june debate with cnn who wanted the mics to be shut off at certain points and the Trump Campaign at first didnt like that, but i remember this reporting when i talked to them in the lead up to that first debate they changed their minds. They thought that, you know, actually maybe having the mics be shut off at certain points will help him particularly because and this is the same calculus for this upcoming debate, is that a lot of Donald Trumps advisers believe one of the more important things and perhaps even more important than the substance of the questions is Donald Trumps demeanor if he doesnt come off looking aggressive, they dont want it to come off looking like a bully. They want him to tone down his rhetoric, have a, you know, a more calm, tall and to have them look president ial. Thats even potentially more important now that youre going to have someone like Kamala Harris on stage with him. Shes a woman. He hasnt faced her on stage yet. So that is a lot of whats happening Behind The Scenes. Theyre trump was saying yesterday, he didnt really sounded like he didnt really care whether the michael e hundred or not, despite what his campaign is saying. Rfk junior is endorsing donald trump, as we know, but our kfile team has uncovered apparently some other statements that rfk jr. Has made about donald trump in the past, what do we know . Some very harshly critical statements of donald trump, some as recently as last month jim, look, i dont think this is surprising. This is clearly politics and donald trump for his part, has also been very critical of rfk junior his entire campaign for the last year or so has been trying to label him as a radical liberal in conservatives clothing. That is how they were trying to frame him to voters. And now that he is not only endorsed him, but is going to be campaigning with him theyre talking about a potential role for him in his future administration that has changed, but i want you to just take a listen to some of the critiques at rfk junior it has made of donald trump in the past you know, i think donald trump is a terrible president. He wasnt draining the swamp he was turning the government over to corporate pirates. I think the problem isnt what and he is a bully and, you know, i dont like i dont think america oh, thats part of america so quite a 1e80 there from a lot of those comments. I mean, you heard him he was saying that he thought donald trump is a terrible president. That he was a bully who appealed to bigotry and hatred, very different from the praise we heard rfk jr. Here on donald trump on friday, but i think the bottom line here again is that this is politics. Clearly rfk junior made the calculus that he thinks that this is beneficial for him. The Trump Campaign, i can say they had debated, debated whether or not trying to bring rfk junior into the fold was beneficial for them. They decided it was particularly after harris it became clear that she was going to take bidens place at the top of the ticket. So all of this is really them just kind of doing whats best for their own interests. And right, Alayna Treene. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Lets bring in our panel the director of the Center For Politics at the University Of Virginia our old friend, larry sabato and republican strategist doug heye guys. Thanks to both of you. Doug limit year here in the studio. Let me go to you first. I mean, this debate over the debate, it sounds kind of hokey the thing to say, you know, coming out of my mouth. I mean, this debate is going to happen, right . Well, let me say first, since youve talked about rfk last week, i was i was on this network and i made a joke about the way he speaks which is totally out of bounds and i just want to acknowledge that and apologize. Oh, okay. His ideas totally inbounds how he speaks differently, but to your question about the debates every campaign, whether youre talking about president , congress, or chief grave digger, although that may be an appointed position, has a debate about debates when and where, how many, what the formats are. There usually completely meaningless unless the incumbent just doesnt want to do any. Thats clearly not the case here. And with what donald trump says, its so in line with what he often does tune in tomorrow, theres more with, lets focus the attention back on me. Everything that hes saying right now, there may be debate. I hope theres a bait well see if theres a debate. It fits that role of tune in tomorrow and thats what were all doing. Yeah. I mean larry, i mean, a lot of this sounds it feels very much like the apprentice and to mustsee tv, teasing to next weeks episode. Tune in if theres going to be a debate thats what this sounds like yeah. Well, let prompt. Its probably difficult politics be honest. This is the only part of this campaign i think is the norm the debate about debates, which is always the image deals worthless part of a Campaign Discussion because it Means Nothing average people were having held discussion now, but thats you know. Yeah. Well, im trying to get out of the way. Thank you no but i mean but larry, i mean, you have studied this for a long time, isnt that why we have a president ial or we used to have a president ial debate commission. So we could just stop having these games. Thats one of the reasons why were having these games in this discussion, this silly discussion in this cycle thats absolutely true. Although remember after the first four in 1960, we didnt have debates in 1964 or 1968, or 1972 because lyndon johnson, the incumbent 64, knew he wasnt good on tv and didnt want to debate. And then richard nixon, whod lost the election because he lost the debate. The john f. Kennedy in 1960 said, im not dumb enough to do this again in 1968, 1972, we only got back to debates because the jimmy carter versus gerald ford in 1976, it was suddenly in the interests of both candidates to debate. They thought they, both of them thought they could win the debate. So they did it and then we were in that tradition and the tradition lasted until relatively recently. And maybe well get back into it though. I doubt that commission ever comes to be again. All right. And i think no navarro is joining us are free, man navarro are you there . Can you hear me yes, i can. What do you think about this . Im so glad youre with us. Im sure you have some thoughts on this whole debate. The discussion and whether or not trump is going to show up. And this whole thing about the mics muted are not muted listen, i love all the things that weve seen in this campaign, but this by far one of the stupidest, i think it shows donald trump is running scared i think he comes across as a chicken who is afraid to debate Kamala Harris is coming up with any and every excuse he can because on the one hand, he said hey, its about the microphones. On the other hand, hes attacking dog brazil, a commentator ivc, who has nothing to do with this debate. Hes attacking every abc journalists, people who will have nothing to do with this debate and people who are journalists consummate journalist of great integrity. The bottom line is, he looks scared he looks very, very scared. The American People deserve to see the two folks who are running to be in charge of our country have a policy debate. If donald trump is too scared to show up, that abc should give Kamala Harris a time and she should be there answering the question and i did want to ask you a more more than 200 republicans who worked for both bush senator mitt romney, mitt romney, they signed a letter that is backing Kamala Harris. It says in part of course, we have plenty of honest ideological disagreements for Vice President harris and governor walz. Thats to be expected. The alternative however, is simply untenable how, how important is this . I mean, we saw this happening at the dnc were seeing more of it now i think its important because i think its part of a larger campaign. And what we are seeing, right . We are seeing folks who work with donald trump say we cant vote for this guy we are seeing folks who at the dnc republicans say the water is warm. Its okay and its safe to come in we are seeing ads we are seeing now this latest thing with just over 200 people who look, i know mitt romney quite well. I knew john mccain very well. I know some of the bushes. I think all of them would want folks who work for them, folks who they inspired to put country first. That was the mantra of john mccain. And i think what these republicans are joined today is exactly that. This is not about policy. Were not going a point where we can be arguing about policy because we are arguing about fitness of character, about humanity but moral compass, there will be one day when theres a republican candidate who has a moral compass, and we can go back to arguing about policy. But right now, its about who is the most fit human to serve as commander in chief, president of the united states, and these people are putting country first. I applaud them for doing that. And doug, i do want to ask you about the Foreign National security adviser under donald trump, but hr mcmaster, he says that trump bears some responsibility for the violent ending to a u. S. Role in afghanistan. Listen listen to this does trump bear part of the responsibility for what happened . Oh, yes. I mean, so the whole premise of talking to the taliban before you leave afghanistan, why the heck were even doing that . What happened in these series of negotiations and concessions to the taliban is we got to through the afghans under the bus on the way out. Yeah. Doug, what do you think about that . And also the fact now, hr mcmaster and other former trump official coming out being highly critical of the former president. Hes one of those people that when he was brought on, you said okay, there are going to be adults in this room because quite often in the tropics finished ration their warrant adults or there were a lot of non adults in the room. What he says has impacted, but we should also remember just the bare knuckle politics and i listened to what he says very closely and ive followed several of his interviews but then we get to politics and the reality is the images that we saw of that evacuation happened in the biden administration. Donald trump is going to use that against Kamala Harris because thats part of her record. I was in raleigh, North Carolina yesterday and the day before and i started to see some of the trump ads that we dont see in washington dc. Its good to get out of washington. And what i saw were trump ads that were very focused on the economy and on inflation. And can you say that what happened in covid and support . By changed under donald trump played a role shore, but the brass politics of it are the administration in charge is the one that gets the political blame. And this is where if donald trump can remain focused and his ads are, he can have some real headway. And larry just finally, do these former republican officials from for Trump Officials coming out and being critical of the former president , does that make a difference at the end of the day . I think it does. I absolutely especially the wellknown ones two words, mike pence when was the last time that a Vice President who served with a president refused to endorse him. And for reelection, maybe you can go back to John Nance Garner and fdrs term. But it is extremely rare in all of these other key officials who worked closely with trump in his first term are telling you that he was a terrible president you know, i kind of think people should listen to that. And these 200 people, jim, thats great. Theyre courageous. Im glad they did it where the other 20,000 why havent they said anything . This is kind of a year where you dont get a pass all right. Anna larry, doug, guys, thanks to all of you really appreciate it. Thanks for coming on and thanks for sneaking on midsegment. Always. Please do that anytime we appreciate it all right still ahead this hour, ukraines president is vowing his army will retaliate after for a night of deadly russian attacks among them drone strikes that have devastated ukraines energy grid.

I learned Fox On Capitol Hill new this morning, russia has launched a new round of missiles and drones on Ukraine Killing at least five people. Ukraine says this mornings new bombardment comes just one day after the biggest russian aerosol since the war began, the russian strikes have damaged ukraine hes civilian infrastructure such as the power grid and drinking water. There. Cnns Salma Abdelaziz joins us with the latest tell us whats the latest hows the president responding in ukraine . Absolutely. So for the second day in a row, ukrainian assault from russia, president zelenskyy says, the countrys air force has been able to repel some 230 attacks from russias still drones and missiles are getting through and they are getting through creating damage across the country, particularly to its power grid, to its civilian infrastructure, which as you mentioned, ease the target of these attacks, but you have a very mixed battlefield picture. Of course, this assault from russia begins to shift the narrative in their favor, but you cant forget that ukrainian troops continue to advance inside russian territory in kursk where theyve launched that surprise offensive, where they continue to claim more and more russian settlements, more and more russian territory, but further to the east of ukraine ukrainians, there are on the backfoot their Russian Troops are advancing, inching closer and closer to detre jack city with families fleeing the scene their presence ansky is appealing for western help. He says he needs two things to combat this first, he wants permission to use the longrange missiles that have been given to him by u. S. And nato. He wants to use those to strike inside russia. And second hes asking to use those Air Defense Capabilities right up next to russian airspace. Now, both of those requests, of course, will make some white house officials cringe. It is the fear that that could possibly escalate this conflict with president putin. Still president zelenskyy says, this is the only solution you must lead if these restrictions otherwise, we continue to be vulnerable to exactly the types of attacks youre seeing today all right, Salma Abdelaziz.

They are now seeking a federal investigation into all of this. Whats going on . Yeah. We have obtained the letter that Lulac Official Center to the Department Of Justice in a spokesperson for the Department Confirms that they have received it, but in this letter, theyre essentially asking for a civil rights investigation into republican attacks. Because as Attorney General, ken paxtons actions in this investigation and in that letter, lulac says that this paxtons move is a serious violation of the civil rights of latino citizens also goes on to say that ken paxtons investigation in these raids that were carried out last week or equal direct attempt to suppress the latino vote through intimidation and harassment weve made multiple attempts to reach ken paxton. They have not reached his office, has not responded to our request for information, but in a Statement Last week the Attorney General said that this was part of an investing gabe into a legal Voter Harvesting and organized electorial crimes. And that is what he is saying that this is about saying that the integrity of texas elections is at stake here. But lulac officials are saying this could not be further from the truth. There were at least six different raids that we to know at this point that took place last week, there could be even more and lulac Officials Say that this is all much ado about nothing that no illegal activity is song going Attorney General paxton is using his position of authority to harass in.

She says she was targeted for about three hours last week and forced to wait on her front porch in her bathrobe while investigators were inside looking for evidence carrying out that search warrant. Its also important to point out, jim, that the Texas Attorney general has a history in recent years of going after these electoral integrity cases. But there hasnt been much there. There.

Cnns Jacqueline Howard joins me now jacqueline, i mean, theres a huge interest in these drugs. Theyre flying off the shelves, arent they . Thats right, jim, theres so much demand for these drugs and these new single dose vials are eli lillys answer her to try to reach that demand. So what were seeing here, these single dose vials are going to come at this cost. It will be 399 for fourweek supply of vials containing 2. 5 milligram doses, it will cost 549 for four weeks supply of vials containing 5 million well, graham doses. And these costs are specifically for patients who are paying out of pocket who dont qualify for eli lillys assistance program. And these prices are down from the original list price for zepbound, which is 1,000, 1,059. So thats the difference here. Another key difference, these lowercost vials will not come with a preloaded injector pin, which weve seen zepbound come with. So patients will have to use a syringe to access the medication and the vile. But overall, jim, like you said, this is eli lillys response to try to reach that high demand. Thats out there, especially among patients who again, dont have the Insurance Coverage for this medication, but they dont qualify for the assistance program, so they are paying all the costs out of pocket. And do we think that some of these other Pharmaceutical Companies are going to try to follow suit and rollout these singer no dose vials. What do you think thats a great question. I think if we see that eli lilly is successful with this approach, i would not be surprised if other Companies Like the Pharmaceutical Companies behind semaglutide, like ozempic and wegovy follow suit, zepbound itself is a terse appetite weight loss drug, but the semaglutide are eating equally important. These include ozempic and wegovy and prescriptions specifically for semaglutide have gone up 40 fold in the past five years. Jim. So thats the demand that were seeing right now. And i will be interested to see what the future holds. If we do see other companies its like you said, follow this same model all right. Jacqueline howard, very important medical news.

Amazon im Alayna Treene traveling with the Trump Campaign. And this is cnn back to the debate over the debate for President Donald Trump is openly questioning whether he will participate in next months scheduled debate with Vice PresidentKamala Harris on Abc Baselessly claiming the network as biased and hostile toward republicans. Lets discuss more now with trumps former personal fixer and attorney Michael Cohen. Hes also the host of the Michael Cohen show on youtube. So check it out its airing as we speak. Michael cohen, great to see you we ran into each other at the dnc noticed a lot of folks wanted to take a picture with you there in chicago. But you and i had a lot to talk about. It was a wild time, wasnt it that was yeah. But we had a lot to talk about outside of that conversation. So im glad your back with us because you and i both know that theres a history with former President Trump when it comes to debates. He likes to sort of keep it hanging out there as to whether or not hes going to participate in debates and what the ground rules are going to be, what have been your thoughts as youve been listening to all that . Yeah. So this is not new as just stated donald has been playing the same old play from the same old playbook going back to 2015 he wants the debate to go the way he wants the debate to go. He wants to control pulled the levers. Now, with fox news, he can do that. Which cnn, he cannot do that with abc, nbc, cbs, et cetera. He cannot do that. So of course hes going to claim that theres a bias towards him. None of it is true. Its all a figment of his imagination, which is hes getting more and more weird each and every day. But hes going to end up showing up despite all of the nonsense because he knows what Kamala Harris is going to do to him, right . If he doesnt show up, shell just put a Cardboard Cutout of him in this spot and she will talk up to him as if hes there. Now. Hes really stuck right now in a very weird situation using that word again why . Because if he doesnt show up kamala would just do it on her own. And again, she will bring a Cardboard Cutout of him if he does show up hes going to show up unprepared because donald does not believe he needs to prepare. He said it himself the other day. I couldnt believe he actually said it. You, just said . Yeah. Ive been doing this my whole life. Ive been preparing for this my whole life. No, he hasnt he has no idea what hes talking about. Hes going to hey, again, the same ridiculous statements as he did when he debated joe biden talking about, for example democrats want abortions after birth without Anybody Questioning him and saying thats not an abortion after birth. Thats called murder but nobody calls upon it. Kamala harris will so one knows he has to prepare and he doesnt like to do that yeah and i do want to ask, i mean, theres been this discussion over muting the microphones and i guess his campaign wants the microphone muted, but he has been saying something different. Lets listen to what he said about this. Would you want the microphone muted debate whenever youre not speaking . We agreed to the same rules. I dont know. Doesnt matter to me. Id rather have it probably on, but the agreement was that it would be the same as it was last time that case, it was needed i didnt like it the last time, but it worked out fine. Asked biden now it worked out. It was fine and i think it should be the same yeah. Michael, it sounds like its the Trump Campaign that wants the mute button working yeah, probably because they dont trust that hes going to keep his mouth shut and he wont stay normal for the 90 minutes of the debate. But jim, one of the things that i want you and your viewers to also note is when you see the Accordion Hands start going, what that means is that hes lying. All right. Its a its a how would donald anytime that the Accordion Hands start, that means hes not telling the truth. He does not want the mic on because he knows he cant control himself. He says things under his breath. Each could have continuously interrupt kamala every time she says something that he doesnt agree with he cant help himself. So you think hes worried about debating . Harris, is that is that part of this . Do you think i mean, maybe he thought he matched up better with joe biden versus Kamala Harris. Could that be part of this . Hundred percent . He knows that he did look with all due respect to joe biden naama massive joe biden fan. It was not bidens best its not the old joe biden of years ago. It was a very poor performance by biden if he thinks that that type of a performance is going to be again, by Kamala Harris, hes obviously mistaken, and i think he knows better than that. He knows that shes going to call him out on every single lie on every single misstatement, and he just doesnt know so how to prepare for one of the things that he doesnt want to do. He doesnt want to prepare he turned around and he even said, i dont need to prepare really. Its funny because theres nothing that he says that is accurate including during that biden debate, it was one misinformation, Disinformation Mal Information Statement after another and michael, i do want to talk to you a little bit about the classified documents case and some of the legal troubles that trump isnt it has been in jack smith asked a federal Appeals Court to reinstate the classified documents case against trump. Smith did not, however, asked for the case to be reassigned to the judge who was presiding over it, dismissed that case last month. What do you make of this battle over the classified documents case . Do you think trump is ever going to be held accountable in either the classified documents case or the january 6 case . Well, hell be held ultimately accountable for everything after he loses to Kamala Harris. Then he wont have any of the levers of power to put aside the prosecutions on the federal basis. I think what we should also be concentrating on is whats going to be happy putting on september 18, which is when donald trump has to appear for sentencing before judge one marshawn here in new york you know, one of the things that i think is very disturbing and a lot of people feel obviously the same way is donald trump. Whether hes a former president or god forbid, 1 million times. Again president. The law is supposed to apply equally to each and every one of us. And what donald trump has shown, this country is that it does not, that he is above the law when he said that he could kill somebody on fifth avenue and get away with it. He wasnt joking. So i do believe that jack smith with the 11th circuit, whos now overturned. Judge cannons decisions several times already. And i think that theyve lost their patients with her. I believe that he will overturn the decision. It will be remanded. Unfortunately, back to her court. This case will go forward. Their very quickly. Michael finally, trump has been saying that Kamala Harris became the nominee because of a coup were running out of time, but i did want to get a Quick Reaction to that from you. What do you think about that when he says please in at it i mean, how else do you describe it . I mean she got it as a coup that had he and his campaign not done the debate against joe biden, he probably would still be running against joe biden, which is really what he wanted. Its not a coup. This is the way that the politics work. This is the way that the Democratic Party decided. She is the rightful nominee as he is the rightful nominee, which has been provided to them by the whether it was the Republican National convention or the Democratic National convention, they received the necessary votes. He is running against Kamala Harris he needs to he needs to understand that all right Michael Cohen as i expected, we did not have enough time to cover all the ground. We wanted to cover. Lets get you back again soon. Michael. Thanks a lot. Really appreciate your time, jim. All right. And thanks very much for joining us this morning.
