Bridges are coming plus a 26yearold american woman shot and killed in the West Bank by the israeli defense forces, according the witnesses. This after she was protesting against israeli settlement expansion, Cnn Team is on the Ground Welcome to. The lead im Jake Tapper or the 2024 lead and the Law And Justice lead theyre intersecting in a huge way today, Donald Trump, but 34 times convicted felon well now, not to be sentenced for those crimes in his New York Hush Money Cover Up case until after the election. Judge juan marshawn, pushing back that Sentencing Day Today from September 18 to november 26. You may recall back in may, a jury found mr. Trump guilty of falsifying Business Records in order to Cover Up up a hush Money Payment to adult Film Actress and director Stormy Daniels in order to keep this from the american people before the election of 2016. But this, of course is not the only legal case. Top of mind for mr. Trump today the former president appeared in a different new York Court this morning. Hes trying to throw out the verdict in one of the cases involving e. Jean carroll. This of course, is the one in which a jury found he sexually abused and defamed e. Jean carroll after todays hearing, mr. Trumps spent nearly 50 minutes 50 minutes not talking about his campaign, not talking about the upcoming president ial debate against terrorist, not talking about what he wants to do for the american people instead he spent his time ranting about the myriad women who have accused him of sexual abuse. Here is just a little snippet. Russia, russia she said an 18 79. I was in an airplane with her commercial flight and we became very intimate and she said i was making out with her and then after 15 minutes and then she changed her story of a couple of times maybe it was quicker than i grabbed her a certain part and that was when she had enough now, so think of the impracticality of this. Im famous im going to play and people are coming into the plane and im looking at a woman and i grabbed her and i start kissing her and making out with their what are the chances of that happening . What are the chances and frankly, i know youre going to say its a terrible thing to say. But it couldnt have happened it didnt happen and she would not have been the chosen one lets start with cnn, chief legal Affairs Correspondent Paula reid. We also have with us cnn senior legal analyst elie honig, paula, focusing, lets go back to judge Marshawns Decision to push trumps Sentencing Date in the Hush Money Cover Up case until after the election why . Well, here the judge really for the first time acknowledging that this sentencing occupies a unique place in American History. Youre talking about a former president who is a president ial candidate. Just a few weeks away from the election, the judge describes this situation as quote, fraught with complexities. Thats an understatement jake. And look, he says he does not want to have any appearance that this sentencing is meant to influence the election or that it was influenced by the fact that theres an upcoming election. He writes, the members of this jury serve diligently on this case and their verdict must be respected and addressed in a manner that is not diluted by the enormity of the upcoming president ial election, but its interesting because Judge Marshawn has rarely conceded to the trump teams legal arguments. In and around politics. But there is also this issue. The supreme court decision, their recent decision on president ial immunity, and the open question of how that applies in this case the judge said, look, we routinely grant a delays in sentencing given all the factors here, were going to push this back and elie, of course we should note this decision by Judge Marshawn is completely different from what Judge Chutkan said yesterday in the January 6 Insurrection Case . Yeah, jake, its quite a contrast and its a nice illustration of the fact that there is no hard and fast law here as to whether judges should or should not consider an election. And if you look at Judge Marshawns opinion, what he says basically is lets live in reality here. If i were to sentence Donald Trump before the election, whether i sentenced him to probation or prison, that absolutely could impact the election. Lets put it off a couple of months and avoid those complexities altogether too quick. No, its first of all, sentencings get adjourned all the time. Ive seen hundreds of sentencings adjourned for reasons less consequential than concern about impacting an election. The other thing to keep in mind is the da took a pass on this. The Das Position is we dont care either way, judge, whether you sentence him before or after and the judge cited that today and jake, i will tell you when you Devin Defendant who says, please put up the Sentencing A Prosecutor who says, were fine either way 99 times out of 100 that you sentencing is going to get postponed. And paula, what happens to this case if mr. Trump wins the election as many projections have him currently favorite to do. Well, if he wins, i would expect that his lawyers would fight the idea that you can and even sentence a president elect the federal cases, of course, would be dismissed by his attorney general. The Georgia Case would be in limbo, look, if he loses all of these proceedings are expected to continue. His lawyers have done a pretty good job of delaying most, not all, of course, he was convicted at a trial that most of these significant legal consequences until after the election. And now now its up to him to get, to get reelected if he wants to avoid potentially heading to prison all right. Paula Reid And Elie honig. Thanks to both of you. My panel joins me now and kristen, you cover the Trump Campaign for us. So he believed whats the response from the Trump Campaign to this delay . Well, privately, theyve all been very excited by it. They were happy to see this delayed as paula said, this makes things much more complicated and in particularly if he does win the election, obviously, theres been some talk among republicans that this could have given him a boost if he was sentenced before the election, but thats just so uncertain right now, obviously, the legal cases heading give him a boost during the primary, but whether or not this would actually help him instead of just seeing him be sentenced before general election could actually hurt him with some independent voters. Theyre happy that its been pushed now we did get a statement from stephen chung, which is a very trump statement. It says that there should be no sentencing and the manhattan das election interference, Witch Hunt as mandated by the united states supreme court. This case, along with all of the other Harris Biden hoaxes, should be dismissed. Obviously thats not what the supreme court said, but he is citing the immunity ruling there. Interesting. And now you are what what are you hearing from . Democrats, i assume many of them would have liked some sort of Jail Sentence for the republican nominee. Well, it certainly leans into the idea that justice delayed is justice denied and that when you commit a whitecollar crime you have fancy lawyers who know how to do appeals and can delay accountability on the left, certainly that sense of trump has yet to truly be held accountable for his crimes against democracy. Thats the message on the left, and that there needs to be some type of judicial reform that not only makes cases work faster, but also, again, this goes back to supreme court, their ruling over the summer about immunity, and that idea that expanding the court may be part of the democratic message going forward and ashley, well never know the answer to this question, but just whats your guess as to how different it would be . The sentencing if he wins mr. Trump or if he loses, well never know the answer to that. Jake and i look at this through the lens of politics. And i think at the end of the day and we saw it in the cnn polls this week, voters and all of the seven Swing States, Swing States care about the economy and we also saw for over a year now how the indictments and the verdict ultimately affected solidifying the trump base. And maybe even bringing more into the fold. So i would argue that theres a really big debate next week, a chance to turn the page on all of this messaging and get back to the focus on the economy, immigration, crime, the things that voters actually are the islands, right . If trump actually being able to stay on a message that resonates with the voters that he needs to win a snippet of whom rolling through every woman whos ever accused him some of sexual harassment. And its not really positive Campaign Message, whether an only one who keeps relitigating his own negative, he could have used that opportunity to not talk about his negatives and maybe talk about the other candidates. But he just something about him make some things that if he just keeps relitigating the past, that will feel better than help him and all the polls are proving the opposite. And what do you think . Weve seen this from President Trump before . This is no surprise. Weve lived through this for sir, third Election Cycle with him. And i think at the end of the day, hes got a great opportunity next week to draw contrast with Vice President and then harris and hold her accountable for some of the decisions made in the biden administration that she hasnt really had to answer to yet. So whats your take on all this . Because obviously im sure his Campaign Advisors dont want him to spend 40 to 50 minutes rolling through every woman whos ever accused him of sexual impropriety. Well, not just that. I mean, look at what theyve done for the last several for weeks, they have tried to control a man who was odd uncontrollable by putting him in front of these smaller venues with smaller crowds, with very specific topics that are on the agenda. For example, giving a speech in North Carolina on the economy are talking about immigration or crime. They are trying to get him out there talking about the three things that they think could win him this election, particularly when voters are showing in the polls, that is what they care about. This is not what they expected him to do. And ill tell you when i was asking questions about what this was going to look like. Nobody said hes going to go up there and ramble about all the women who have accused him, his various sexual Number Priority is over the last several years, they said hes probably going to attack the justice system, but then move on and take questions. He obviously did not take questions at all, which isnt surprising because this is the environment where he generally doesnt. He goes off, but hes he was clearly angry today, even said he was disappointed in his legal team when he was standing there with them, standing behind him, forward facing in front of all of the cameras, said he was disappointed in what he saw during the hearing earlier earlier in the day, its very difficult to be Donald Trumps lawyer, but thats obviously not what his Campaign Advisers had hoped for coming out of this weve heard a lot of credit. We in the media have heard a lot of criticism from democrats that were not covering mr. Trumps Age And Acuity as we did president bidens do you agree with that . I think theres an interesting contrast now that both candidates are no longer heading into their 80s, right . That there is a significant generational difference and you can see that in the way the campaigns are expressing different concepts. I mean, the idea of joy being a Campaign Message was not something you would have anticipated six months ago, and trump is now in that difficult position. Not only was Vice President , not the president not only does trump have to defend his record, he also now has to get passed the age element. Do you what do you think . I dont think its a surprise to any voter who supports President Trump. Are those are considering supporting him . What is ages . We know hes been with us for a long time and its a jump ball race. Look at real clear politics its the Markets Today still have President Trump up two. And in the Battleground States its a tie. So we can litigate age about President Trump. All we want. This Isnt News to the american public and i dont think it changes the thing. Do you think he is demonstrably different than he was four years ago, six years ago . No i dont think he has always talked like this and from everything that ive seen from covering him, it is the same kind of exact even if you watch the person who who plays him on Saturday Night live now, that same person is the same person that Donald Trump is. He has mastered this idea of how Donald Trump grabs ideas from different places. The reason he was talking today about all of those women was because that was their argument in court earlier today, was that none of those arguments should have been let into the actual court. He clearly took that information, then rambled it out and not a constructive way for his campaign or for his legal team. But that is why he was saying and thats what he often does talking. And that is how he whether people like it or not, that is kind of how hes been since he burst on the scene in 2015, 2016, i think just lets not pretend that its normal and okay. Thats somebody who has this type of but No One is saying that im were just, you know i dont think theres not a change. Its not a change is all im saying. No, youre in ashley and kristen.

Oo this is a good book title. Free panel at for patriots. Com im Alayna Treene traveling with the Trump Campaign. And this is cnn were turning to our Politics Lead and an issue of vital concern to parents, whether republicans or democrats, the high cost of Child Care in the united states. President trump was asked about it yesterday during his visit to the economic club of New York has answer rambled on for two minutes. Well give you the gist of it here. Were just going to play the very beginning. Take a listen if you win in november, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make Child Care affordable if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance . Well, i would do that and were sitting down. I was somebody we had Senator Marco Rubio and my daughter, ivanka was so impactful on that issue. Two very important important issue. But i think when you talk about the kind of numbers that im talking about, that because childcare is childcare has couldnt Theres Something you have to have it in this country. You have to have it but when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that im talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that theyre not used to, but theyll get used to it very quickly. And theres not going to stop them from doing business with us, but theyll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. Well us now is reshma saujani. She asked the question yesterday. Shes a member of the economic club of new Yorks Board of trustees i dont know if you watched the debate in june but i tried three times to get him to answer that question. You tried to forth did you get anything out of that i made that a little bit more than you did because he did answer the question and what he told us is that shakurs that expenses are no big deal the fact that youre drowning in debt because then sorry, but not sorry. And he also told us that no, i dont have any ideas or Proposal Or Legislation and its insulting, its insulting to parents who are constantly having to choose between funding their daycare and feeding their kids. And the thing is is like if you have a plan to solve chalk here, you are not fit to be president so during your question, you talked about how much impact the cost of childcare has had on american families give us just a little primer on that explain for people out there who arent aware of this weather for whatever reason how significant initiative this is yeah, its a huge economic issue. Were losing over 122 Billion a year because of our broken Childcare System 40 of parents are in debt because of the cost of childcare the cost of childcare as you know, is outpacing the cost of inflation and one in five families are saying like, i cant have another kid because i cant afford it which is why we have a declining birth rate. And the fact that President Trump basically said that you know, its not an expense thats noteworthy. I mean, thats a gaslighting yeah. It is pretty noteworthy senator j. D. Vance is running mate, also was asked about the Childcare Issue this week. Lets run a little bit of his answer like grandma, grandpa wants to help out a little bit more, or maybe theres an Aunt Or Uncle the wants to help out a little bit more if that happens, you relieve some of the pressure on all the resources that were spent in a daycare now, you talk about just daycare. Lets say you dont have somebody who can provide that extra set of hands empower people well to get the skills they need, dont force every early Childcare Specialist to go and get a Sixyear College Degree where theyve got a whole lot of debt and americans are much poorer because theyre paying out the War Zoo for daycare so the grandparents, part of the answer, get your Aunt And Uncle to help out. That got most of the attention thats what democrats focused on. But vance did talk about some policy in their reducing requirements and regulations for Childcare Workers. What did you make of his answer . Well, i mean, i think that the just asked Ran On Part is absolutely a fan of fantasy, not accessible to most americans for tubled with diabetes like its not an option. The fact is, is we do we do need to pay Childcare Workers fairly, so its less than about regulation and more but the fact that like we dont have people want to go into this industry because were not paying them a fair wage and thats why we have both Demand And Supplyside problem. Weve a Market Failure and childcare because we refused to fix it. And so its too expensive or parents and we dont have enough Childcare Workers, 50 of americans live in chapter desert. So i want to hear both Vance And Trump talk about whats really happening, which Health Care in America And Offer real policies and solutions beyond just adjust, ask grandma or frankly talking about tariffs that have nothing to do with this. Have you heard anything useful coming from Kamala Harris and Tim Walz . I mean, look, heres the Thing Weve also invited Kamala Harris to come speak at the economic club of New York. And i hope shakes but she has had a pretty strong record on both paid leave and affordable childcare. And quite frankly fighting for Working Families and she had one of the strongest records which she was body for president and during her presidency numerous Executive Orders that were going to leave, eat the cost on childcare. Im excited to hear though, about what her plan is going to be if she becomes president to fix the Child Care problem in america, its a huge crisis. Reshma saujani, thank you so much for your advocacy in for joining us today. Thank you for having me continuing our 2024 lead, billionaire Elon Musk took to his x platform, formerly known as twitter to comment on the nonsensical old four can repost that argues that only Alpha Males can be trusted to think freely and make good decisions and therefore only Alpha Male should be the ones to participate in democracy. Musk reposted the theory and wrote interesting observation. We do have Voting Rights in this country per to protect against discrimination based on such nonsense. But similar crazy ideas have slipped through the guardrails in this its country in history, in history with lasting consequences at least when it comes to civil rights, the 15th Amendment ratified in 18, 70, gave black men the right to vote the idea that they were not deserving of that same democracy persisted nonetheless, the result was decades of disenfranchisement via Jim Crow Laws all set into motion during louisianas 18, 72 gubernatorial election, which was quote americas deadliest election which happens to be the title of a Brandnew Book by cnn chief political correspondent Dana Bash, who joins us now, dana, congratulations on the book. Its a great read explain plane why that Theory Reposted by mr. Musk is a good example of why americans should pay attention to this seemingly fairly obscure election from 18, 72. I love that you picked up on this Kara Swisher and a part of we did an event last night here in washington. She picked up on the exact same thing a longtime observer of Elon Musk. And as it relates to the disenfranchisement of voters historically in this country and specifically as it pertains to what happened in 18, 72, because it was one of the first elections where black men, lehman back then, could vote. And what the segregationists, who are democrats back then it was flipped what they realized after the first election in louisiana in 18, 68 were a lot of blacks were elected by people who wanted representation that the only way to keep Black Americans down in society was to do it at the Ballot Box and to prevent them from voting so there was widespread fraud, real fraud, not the allegations around that was never proven last cycle, real fraud, corruption, intimidation, and violence you mentioned jake jim crow. I didnt know this. Maybe you did. You are definitely more of a history i heard is what youre saying, but yes the 18, 72 election the the violence that came out of that included something called the colfax massacre, which happened in Grant Parish in louisiana hundred and 50 black men were slaughtered in Cold Blood in order to try to find justice they did in Federal Court trying to test those very new amendments that you were just talking about what all the way up to the supreme court. The supreme court said in a monumental decision, cruikshank, that the federal government has no role in civil rights in the states. And the states said, in the south said, great, we agree with you were going to enact jim crow and they stayed in place for a century. And you note that many incidents in quotes from politicians during the 18, 72 Election Sound as though there could be spoken by some of todays politician. Okay, so let me just give you one quote. This is a man named Henry Wormuth who was a carpetbagger, like a real Carpet Bagger when they actually started came from the north, actually brought a carpet when they actually go about a carpet, went to louisiana, was really young and his in his midtwenties and ran for governor, won. And he did it as somebody who was incredibly charismatic, very, very loved. The press he said he didnt care about anything other than getting quoted. You didnt care if reporter said something negative or praised him. He just wanted to make sure they wrote about him. He also complained very whole wholeheartedly about the investigations into him. He was quite corrupt and people loved to love him and they loved to hate him so when reading the book, i thought about the time, about isnt 2018 years ago, i guess it was when you stood with John Lewis and civil Rights Icon on the edmund Pettus Bridge in selma, where hed been beaten almost to death 50 years earlier lets revisit what he told you this is secret. This is hala, this where people gave some blood. I gave a little blood on this bridge, gave a lot of blood on it thats correct and thats fine i think this bridge must be save and preserve because it have opened up the democratic process for all of our citizens know. Feel like when i come here and walk across the bridge its almost like holy around it is holy ground mr. Miller. Thank you so i mean, the connection here, of course. Youre writing about what happened in 18, 72 that enabled the Jim Crow Laws to take a fact and then he spent his life, he devoted his life to getting rid of those Los Thats right. And it took 100 years to do it and just going back to your initial question about Elon Musk, this has been one of the questions that has been grappled with since they were trying to write the constant children in the first place who should vote, who should have the right to vote . Ben franklins famous question about are quote about a, if you own a because the question was whether or not people should only be able to vote if they owned something, if you own a. Now ive been you can vote but later if you dont own the youre the because you Cant Vote and back then, of course it was just white man who property owners, White Male property owners. But this is such a fundamental right that was suppressed violently. So, for so long, even after the Civil War and this period of reconstruction, when it really was solidified, that blacks would have so many problems not just at the voting box, but in society, the back of the Bus And Everything that was done to them, it could have gone such a different way after the Civil War and during reconstruction and being able to to learn about that with my amazing coauthor, david fisher, is really privilege americas deadliest election by Dana Bash thanks so much for being here. Congratulations on the book. Thanks, jake. We also need to get to a major story in Israel American Woman who was protesting the expansion of israeli settlements was killed in the West Bank.

State department is quote urgently gathering more Information Unquote after an American Citizen was shot and killed. While protesting israeli policies in the West Bank today, according to u. S. And palestinian officials, Israels Military has admitted to shooting at the crowd which has been described as peaceful by an eyewitness, 26yearold asian, Our Ag recently graduated from the university of washington, and she went to High School here in the united states. She was part of the Activist Group known as the international solidarity movement. She and others others were protesting and israeli settlement. Neuropathy palestinian village in the southern part of the occupied West Bank. The israeli settlement known as a avr tar, was legalized by the israeli government in june. A move pushed by Farright Extremist Finance minister bezalel smotric, who is part of the Netanyahu Coalition and now anger is building back in the united states. Democratic senator Chris Van Hollen of maryland, releasing a statement slamming the biden administration this afternoon, pointing to the deaths of two other americans in the West Bank since October 7 saying quote, the united states cannot turn a blind eye to these actions. Cnns Nic Robertson was in the West Bank today, nick, this is a horrible tragedy. What are the israelis saying yeah the israelis are saying, yes, they did fire those live rounds towards the protesters. There saying they fired the live rounds because of some activity that was being instigated by one by one person that group, violent activity. They said this person was throwing rocks at them. Now, this group of activists, those that were there and witness killing. And so he shot dad, said that they will lower down The Hill from where the idf was. That the protests had been a peaceful protests. They say and then it was just sort of beginning to wind down when they say that the idf fired Tear Gas down towards them or smoke grenades, but something that sort of got them all moving and run running away. This is how they describe it. And as they were running away, thats when theres 26yearold Turkish American former student. Now acting best were shot in the head medics from the scene really fast, gutter into an ambulance, gotta to a hospital in the nearby city of nablus unfortunately, she was pronounced dead at the time she got there this is a weekly protests. It comes as no surprise to anyone. I think the surprise here for most people is going to be that the idf say they shot live rounds because someone was throwing rocks at them and you were in jeanine in the occupied West Bank earlier just after for this drawnout israeli military operation, tell us more about the point of that operation that you were reporting on and what you saw yes. The idf said they went in there to kill terrorists they claim to have killed 14. Now, palestinian Health Officials say 39 people total were killed across the operation. Eight of them children, two of them old people we arrived in janine, this was the first opportunity people were having to bury the dead. The first funeral we went to was for three of them and the idf calls terrorists. I spoke to them that commander of the palestinian islamic jihad, they see themselves as militants he said, the idf had not defeated that, werent defeat them in the future. He said yes, weve had losses, but they should admit to those two. I talked to the mayor in the town where they were literally clearing up the rubble in the center of the city where the, roads had been wrecked by by diggers and he was counting the cost he says more than 10 Million to put right. The 15 Miles Road that had been dug up all right. Nic robertson in tel aviv. Thanks so much. Next hour we are expecting to see a critical mission in space.

My Brothers Challenge in our out of this World Lead were about an hour away from watching Boeing Starliner Spacecraft undock from the international Space Station as it begins to come home alone as cnns Kristin Fisher reports, nasa decided its better to be safe than sorry when it comes to Trusting Starliner which has suffered from Thruster Problems and more to bring that pair of stranded astronauts back to earth here they come, our cft crew. When Nasa Astronauts butch Wilmore And Sunny Williams finally left earth on the first crude flight of boeings starliner. Spacecraft was already more than 1 Billion over budget years behind schedule, and four years behind the first crewed launch of Spacexs Crew Dragon boeings only competitor in nasas commercial Crew Program, godspeed, bottom dog. It was a moment, nasa been waiting for, for a decade, two different commercial spacecrafts flying Nasa Astronauts to and from the international Space Station. We always like to have backup that makes it safer for our astronauts. And thats why we started the commercial Crew Program in the first place, Nasa Administrator Bill Nelson Couldnt have known at the postlaunch press conference, just how soon of backup would be needed . Only a few hours into the mission, starliner ran into its first issue. Looks like we picked up a couple more Helium Leaks. Boeing had first detected a Helium Leak on the ground, but it was deemed acceptable for flight. Now, there were three new ones. All right. Were ready to copy. Find out exactly what you mean by picked up another Helium Leaks. So good then is starliner was attempting to dock to the international Space Station. More Problems Thrusters that are currently down five of the spacecrafts thrusters, which are used for steering, failed. The butch and sunny got four of them firing again and they successfully docked on their second attempt. Bash to be attached. That big city in the Sky Starliner had delivered them safely to the station but concerns were growing that it was simply too risky to use starliner to get them back to earth. Im not Complaweeks Failure is not an option thats why we are staying here now we did have some degradation and our thrusters and we know that and thats why were staying after seven weeks of testing those faulty thrusters in space and replicas back on Earth Boeing believed that starliner was safe im very confident we have a good vehicle to bring the two back but after another month of digging through data, intense deliberations nasa disagreed with boeing and announced that starliner would return to earth without its Crew Butch and sunny would hitch a Ride Home in february on that backup Spacexs Crew Dragon, the decision is result of a commitment to safety we have had mistakes done in the past. We lost two Space Shuttles as a result of there not being a Culture In which information could come forward and we are now about 30 minutes away from that final go, nogo poll when nasa will decide if boeing starliner will indeed undock from the international Space Station tonight . That final call, the Go Gono go. That will take place in Mission Control here at the johnson space center, which is just a few buildings over from where i am now, jake this is actually a full Scale Mockup of the international Space Station. The same mockup where butch and sunny spent all those Days Training from what they thought was going to be just a roughly eight day long mission to the international Space Station. Now, theyre going to be spending about eight months up there all alright. Kristin fisher, were going to check back with you in about an hour or so. Dont go anywhere.
