As voters rank the economy as their top issue. With Election Day only 48 days away also breaking the Death Toll rising in lebanon right now after booby traps, Walkie Talkies, and pagers belonging to hezbollah members exploded over two days of Attacks Israel saying a new era, their words, a new era in its War Effort is underway, appearing to tacitly acknowledged Responsibility And Music Mogul Sean Diddy combs has denied bail. Again, losing an appeal and forcing him to remain behind bars as he faces trial on sex crime charges. Standby for new details on this Breaking Story and whats next in the Case Welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. Im Wolf Blitzer. Youre in Breaking News were getting new reaction this hour to the Breaking News. A jumbosized Interest Rate cut by the Federal Reserve. It has the potential to influence the everyday lives of americans as they cast their votes in a razor close president ial election our correspondents are covering all the angles of this Rate Cut for us to political implications as well. And the impact on your finances. First, lets go to Cnn Business Editor at large Richard Quest. Richard break down the feds decision and the realworld impact of this the Fed Cut Rates by half a percentage point. They could have done a quarter. They went for the larger cut instead. Some say thats an indication that the economy is slowing down much faster than people had thought that the fed itself and thought. But remember, wolf, there were 11 hikes in a short period of time and for the last two years, the economy has been slowing to beat inflation. So today, the fed says, yep, we pretty much have got inflation lit, but now were worried about full employment. The other side of the mandate. And so we have a halfpoint cut. And whats more, theyre telling us therell be more for Rate Cuts before the end of the year, possibly to certainly at least one, whether its hard or a Quarter Point this is all an indication that arguably a gone too far too fast. And now they need to get things moving before Job Losses start to increase. For you, for me, for anyone with a Credit Card thats holding a balance, it means Interest Rates are going down. Mortgages will become cheaper. Car loans will become cheaper. And eventually the economy starts to speed up richard, they are the federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell also addressed the criticism thats coming, that this rate was actually the Rate Cut was timed to be close to the election. What did he say . A all here he basically said absolute nonsense. Theyve raised rates and lower rates. Near and far from elections. He makes the point that a good Economy Allround is in americans for every american is the Way Chair Powell put it clearly, Donald Trump, as youre going to be talking in a moment, is making a point that either the economy is so bad that they had to cut rates by half a point. All that Chair Powell is politically motivated. Theres no middle ground. Its not a valid argument per say. They cut rates because they said they didnt want to get behind the curve. They wanted to keep things moving. And thats basically the reality of the feds life. The next Meeting Wolf two days after the election hi Richard Quest reporting for us, appreciate it very much. I want to bring in cnns Kristen Holmes right now. Shes covering the Trump Campaign and cnns Eva Mckend. Shes covering the Harris Campaign for us. Eva, let me start with you what is the Harris Campaign saying about this really important Fed Decision . Well, wolf, they view as a positive development for Working Families. The Vice President pointing to an array of policies that she champions and says, i would support it if elected president , to lower costs for families like bringing down taxes for more than 100 Million americans, down Payment Assistance and affordable housing overall, shes releasing a Statement Tonight that reads, in part, while this announcement is welcome news for americans who have borne the brunt of high prices. My focus is on the work ahead to keep bringing prices down i know prices are still too high for many middleclass and Working Families and my top priority is president will be to lower the cost of everyday needs, like health care, housing, and groceries. Now, wolf, this of course, comes on the same day as the teamsters deciding not to endorse any president ial candidate. I can tell you that there is disagreement though amongst the team stairs. I had a Conversation Tonight with the head of the black caucus of the teamsters. Very disappointed in the decision. Hes telling me that the black caucus of the group is going to disregard this and go ahead and organise for the Vice President telling me that any Union Leader that doesnt support the Vice President should go ahead and turn their Union And Card in any Union Leader that cedes the former president as an ally of the unions, should turn their union card him, wolf. Interesting and Kristen Trump also weighed in on the Fed Decision. What did he say . Well, remember wolf the end of the Day Donald Trump knows that the economy is incredibly important to voters and he and his team believed that he polls better poles ahead of Kamala Harris on his strength when it comes to the economy. So its no surprise that anything that would be viewed as a win for the current economy and for potentially the current administration is not something that he would support. So he accused essentially or suggested that the fed could be Playing Politics. Take a lesson yes, it shows the economy grew by that much. So i mean, theyre not just Playing Politics the economy would be very bad or theyre Playing Politics. One of the other it was a big guy trying there to harp on the fact that the economy would be very bad. Oregon suggesting that this could be political. Now, Donald Trump himself also weighing in on the non endorsement of the teamsters saying that it was a great honour, just something to remember, is that for the last nearly three decades, the teamsters have endorsed a president ial Race And Theyve almost always please endorsed democrat Donald Trumps and his team worked very hard to try and win over the head of the teamsters, sean obrien, and they do believe that they have the support of the Rank And File members first of the union. So if they werent going to get the endorsement, which seemed unlikely that the teamsters would come out and endorsed Donald Trump. They were happy to get him not endorsing or them not endorse forcing Kamala Harris. All right. Kristen holmes and Eva Mckend to both of you. Thank you very much. Want to get some more on all of these major developments. Our political experts are standing by and gloria borger, i want to play a bit of how the federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell described the state of the u. S economy today, watch this the Labour Market is actually in solid condition and our intention with our Policy Move Today is to keep it there you can see that about the whole economy, the u. S. Economy is in good shape. Its growing at a solid Pace Inflation is coming down. The Labour Market is in a strong pace. We want to keep it there thats what were doing and gloria, just to be precise, this is someone we should remind our viewers, appointed to be chairman of the Federal Reserve by Donald Trump. Yeah, and in the past, Donald Trump has said, while he doesnt like him, hed let him finish out his term after today. If Donald Trump were to win, im not so sure. I mean, he says the account hes in good shape and you heard Donald Trump say that if the economy were in good shape, you wouldnt be able to have this size of a Rate Cut. And imply that there is politics going on here so theres no other way to slice it. This wasnt great news for Donald Trump and he has to spin it because of course the issue that he does the best on opposing Kamala Harris is on the economy, although i will point out that gap has narrowing, theres still a substantial gap, but in a lot of the polls were seeing that the gap is getting smaller Van Jones, Donald Trump, as we all know, has made the economy under his presidency is central part of his 2024 president ial campaign. So how big of a deal is this for harris . Even if most voters wont necessarily see any really major tangible benefits of this Rate Cut between now and Election Day. I think we its a psychological blow to Donald Trump, but for Donald Trump to say this is politics. If its politics, we would have gotten the Rate Cut. We were begging for over the summer if trump is mad, democrats are matter because weve been begging for this for a while im glad that its here people at home know, but a lot of people dont biden has no control over the fed. Calm. Harris has no control over the fed. Donald trump has no control over the fed, apparently nobody in world has control over the fed except for Jerome Powell and he waited till the very last minute to do anything and its not going to help us very much economically if it makes trump upset, im happy for it. He did it today. Alyssa Farah Griffin is with us as well. Alyssa Donald Trump reacted to this news by accusing the fed of quote, Playing Politics and the House Speaker Mike Johnson called the movie suspect. What does it say to you that rather than being happy . Economy is in good shape, that theyre attacking the fed right . This should be welcome in relief for millions of americans who are still struggling even though the macro trends of the economy are good and trending the right direction objection. People are still feeling some hurt. But listen, trump is kind of predicted this. I think he assumed that there was going to be a fourth quarter Rate Cut and hes even talked about if he were president again, wanting to reform and change the fed from being separate and something that he would actually have some level of authority over which would be a massive change. It historic change. So im not surprised that hes going to frame it as political and also try to make this argument that the economy is so bad it was necessary. Im not sure it really breaks through. Voters are going to vote on their pocketbooks on grocery prices, on Gas Prices and things are overall trending in the right direction. And this is a very favourable news gloria, about the u. S. Economy is coming as new polls just out today from the socalled Blue Wall states show positive news, very significant, positive news for Kamala Harris. She leads trump by six points right now in pennsylvania, five points in michigan theres no clear leader in wisconsin where shes up just one point over trump. There are three. These are three key states for Kamala Harris is economic news potentially could help a lot, right . Right. It could, it could help, but people arent really going to feel a major impact from this right now, wolf and they have to Seeing Is Believing and they have to see it at the grocery store. They theyre starting to see it at the gas pump. But they really have to have to feel it. I think these polls, the gap widening according to this poll is good news for Kamala Harris but there is still narrow and you still see other polls in which shes not leading in some of these states. So its very difficult to say shes pulling ahead but of course the campaign is looking at this and saying, well, were heading in the right direction. There are worried about pennsylvania and this margin may come as a surprise to them. But again, its only, its only one poll, its only a snapshot. And theyre not going to be overjoyed by any one particular poll a good point, Van Cnn has also learned that internally, the Harris Campaign had been worried about pennsylvania calling it a rough state for her what are these new polls, this Quinnipiac Poll thats out Today Signal to you that they signal that the polls are all over the place and shes shes still got real trouble in pennsylvania and she is doing the right thing now, youre seeing her more. Shes talking more. Shes gotten off the big stages. We had her on those big beyonce stages, which was cool for awhile, but then people started thinking hes high above them. I like singer on the ground. I liked seeing her with students. I like seeing her sitting, need a new with reporters. But the more people see Kamala Harris, more they hear Kamala Harris the more they liked Kamala Harris. And so free Kamala Harris letter keep doing what shes doing. But i dont take it any of these polls seriously until you have a bunch of policing. Shes ahead, shes behind as Attorney General right . Everybody standby.

Well send you a free book to answer questions you may have called now coming to you, 800 a31, 3,700 were back with our political experts as Donald Trump just claimed, he doesnt know anything about our key allies, jab at Kamala Harris that happened at his Town Hall in michigan. Lets discuss this and more it was a specific comment made by the arkansas governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was emceeing that Town Hall. And how it echoes jd vances childless cat, ladies comments gloria, lets listen to what Sarah Huckabee Sanders actually said watch this humble unfortunately harris doesnt have anything keeping her humble to be attacking Kamala Harris for being a stepmother rather than a biological mother. Whats your reaction, gloria . I honestly dont know what she was thinking. I mean, what political person would say, you know, we have a huge Gender Gap as it is in the Republican Party so what im going to do is im going to attack Kamala Harris for being a stepmother. And by the way, her Stepchildrens Mother tweeted today about what a great stepmother, shes been. It is remarkable to me that the republicans continue digging this hole and, you know, i think that its its silly. Its dumb. And if they want to continue doing it fine, but this isnt this isnt a way to appeal to women in this country. There are a lot of Step Moms in this country who feel very humble about the role that theyve been given she does have a deed a very close relationship with her stepchildren. They call her momala of kamala, which is a huge wave saying, mommy, theyre very close to her. Indeed, alyssa, this dig comes on the heels of j. D. Vance of mocking what he calls childless Cat Ladies why are we seeing republicans continue to attack women without biological children . I wish i could tell you because to glorias point, it is strategically disastrous. Youre not talking about a small segment of the population. Youre talking about 50 of the voting bloc. And by the way, when that republicans are struggling with this cycle, because Reproductive Health is on the ballot in trump already has ground to make up with women. And by the way, its not just stepmothers, its women who battled with infertility, which is one in six americans as people who want to have families and havent been able to, or they want to find a partner to have family with them. They havent or they made the decision that theyre allowed to do not have kids its insulting, its an antifamily message. Its an antifreedom message. And i frankly expected better from Sarah Sanders. I worked with her and always enjoyed working with her. Its a losing argument and its offensive to the vast majority of americans and then Sarah Huckabee Sanders use The Word humble. Her word humble in this dig it. Kamala harris about not having biological children what do you think she was trying to get out there . Yeah. Im not sure. I cant say that now know Kamala Harris and Delay Relationship she has with her Step Kids in a relationship that anybody would want want with their own children. Step kids, foster kids, or any kids. Shes shes really really a remarkable person in that regard. And shes made something work thats hard to work. The mom of those kids loves calm law and loves that relationship. Its we should be lifting this family up with an example. So many families after divorce, its all bs in the holidays are horrible and pete me, how people can be on the same whatsapp groups together as a whole bunch of nonsense. And somehow Kamala Harris has been able to find a way through. Its a beautiful families of beautiful example. I think we should all celebrate it a lot more yeah i think youre right. Alyssa, why do you think trump is actually claiming he doesnt know anything about his latest jab from Sarah Sanders about Kamala Harris that took place during his rally well, listen, its hard to believe that he doesnt know about it, but i actually think trump has his finger on the pulse pretty well how much he struggling with women. He didnt lean into the vance comments in the same way. He didnt really lean into this characterization of childless Cat Ladies i think he realises its radioactive. He was sort of ahead of a lot of republicans and saying, whoa, whoa, weve actually gotten a problem around the issue of abortion. Now, hes navigated it terribly since but i do think he at least recognises the problem he may himself not have a solution to it. And gloria, weve already seen, as you pointed out, a large Gender Gap in the polling in this election, at least right now, how do you think these latest comments are likely to impact that . Well, look, i dont think they help. I mean, theyve been echoed in the media. And maybe the audience didnt catch it right away. Maybe Donald Trump didnt catch it right . Good way who knows. But how can they possibly help with women . I mean, its insulting. And as alyssa was saying, its offensive to women to talk about to talk about stepmothers like this to talk about women who dont have children like this and i would have expected more from from Sarah Sanders, a woman who i think shed think twice about that kind of an insult to Kamala Harris. I mean, its just so frontal. Its its remarkable because its politically stupid van do you think Kamala Harris should respond to this latest comment and do you think she did she say if she does . I dont. Think that she should because she her familys fine. Kamala harris has family is fine. A lot of other american families are not fine and shes got to keep talking about that and i think that shes still has an opportunity to bring over some people who are just not, not convinced yet that she understands your pain and its going to do something about it, but she doesnt understand their pain and shes gonna do something about it. She should keep talking about other folks, families. Her family is fine and frankly, its an achievement what theyve done. And until now, dont respond, stuff like that. Keep on your message, keeps showing the american people youre going to fight for their families, not your on Van Jones jones, alyssa Farah Griffin, gloria borger, to all of you.

Look back 100 years from now, but were going to say this is where everything changed talking about the Revolution Erin Burnett Outfront Tonight at seven on cnn more Breaking News this hour, the Death Toll rising after a second wave of deadly attacks in Lebanon Lebanese officials now say 20 people were killed when his Balah Walkie talkies exploded a day after similar blasted valving pagers. Cnns Ben Wedeman has more from lebanon those killed the day before is disrupted by another explosion a wave of Walkie Talkie blasts across lebanon killed more than a dozen injured, hundreds wednesday coming barely 24 hours after hundreds of pagers blew up across the country at Food Markets in shops, killing at least 12 people, including two children and injuring around 2,800 others in what Cnn Sources say was an attack by Israels Mossad and military against hezbollah unprecedented in its Scale And Nature outside the American University Of Beirut hospital, distressed Family Members wait for updates on it their loved ones, friends, and relatives of the injured dont want to speak on camera, but off camera. One told this for instance that a friend of his received a message on his pager. He looked at it and the pager blew up in his face damaging his eyes, and his fingers. And in fact, the chief medical Gold Officer here told us the majority of the injuries are to the eyes, to the hands, and the hips where of course people were holding their pagers when it seemed that on 200 patients and we receive them in a very short time about, you know, within an hour or two almost all of them went inside our doors. So this stretched us pretty much too thin lebanese security pretty source says the militant group bought the devices that exploded in recent months from a taiwanese company, Gold Apollo. However, Gold Apollo denies manufacturing the devices and says It Distributor in hungary hes responsible a taiwanese Security Official said there is no record. The pagers were shipped to lebanon or anywhere in the middle east. Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate a message echoed by one of the groups lawmakers who so im a the resistance will continue to support for gaza will continue. And the israelis will regret what you have done the tension between Israel And Hezbollah is nothing new for most of the past Year Crossborder skirmishes have been common. These Device Explosions represent a new level of escalation wednesday, israels Defence Minister theyre said the explosions mark a new era in Israels War against his butler worried citizens are now suspicious of everyday devices including one found in a Parking Lot near a busy hospital. Security detonated it in a controlled explosion there are really two main schools of thought as far as israels motives for these attacks here in lebanon, War One is that many people believe that israel is essentially sending Hezbollah Message this is what we can do and more if his bella does not stop firing on targets within israel, the other school of thought is that these strikes, these series, this multitude of blasts that are taking place in these electronic communications devices across lebanon are really just the first step of what many fear will be a full fullscale israeli invasion of lebanon . Seemed debt, crushing hezbollah very serious situation unfolding right now. Ben wedeman, thank you very much. I want to turn now to some Breaking News just coming into the Situation Room, the fbi unveiling new allegations of iranian efforts to influence the us president ial election. Cnns Evan Perez as the got the details for us. What are you learning evan well, wolf, this is a new update from the fbi. We previously knew that the iranian hackers associated with, associated with the iranian government were targeting both the Biden Campaign and the Trump Campaign in the case of the Trump Campaign, they managed to get documents from inside the Trump Campaign and has been sending them to journalism to Journalist Organisations in washington. What we now know from the fbi is that they also were able to send some of those documents were stolen from the Trump Campaign. They sent them to people associated with what was then the Biden Campaign . Know those people. Were now told, were receiving those excerpts from these Trump Campaign documents they got them in their personal emails. That information is coming from the he Harris Campaign which said that this never actually went to the campaign itself, but to these peoples private emails and none of them clicked on it or open them so they didnt even know that they had received this material. Now the the point of this appears to be to Help Sow Discord in the us political discord, trying to again influence voters by, by basically pitting americans against each other. That seems to be the goal of the iranians as well as embarrassing, of course, the Trump Campaign by exposing some of the information that they have. Now willful. We should note that the fbi is still investing instigating this and we expect in the coming days that they are going to indict people that they believe are behind this Hack And Leak campaign very interesting, ard Evan Perez, thanks for the Breaking News and just ahead, theres more Breaking News coming into the Situation Room this time from the federal court in New York, a judge just ruling on whether Sean Diddy combs will remain behind bars while awaiting trial good it feels to reach a milestone but we also know what really goes into getting you there.

And this is cnn Sean Diddy combs remains behind Bars Tonight after losing an appeal of a ruling denying him bail the Music Mogul now awaiting trial on federal Sex Trafficking and Racketeering Conspiracy charges that carry a sentence of up to life possibly life in prison if hes convicted. Thats bring in Cnn Anchor and chief legal analyst, laura coates. Laura whats your reaction to the Judges Decision to reject Sean Diddy combs appeal to hold with them in jail without bail well, in many ways, given the severity of the charges and what was argued yesterday as well, it was all but predictable that this could be the likely outcome here. Remember, there is a presumption of innocence, of course, for any defendant, but normally people think about a flight risk, thinking about whether someone should remain in jail pending their trial. But there were more factors involved, not the least of which is how prudent it would be and how feasible it would be to prevent the alleged activity from occurring while one is under the supervised release of a probationary period are out on Predetention Release in this case, they found that it was not going to be viable as a solution. Lucian, to do so, even though he wanted to post money, even have ankle monitoring, the severity of the allegations, and possible Obstruction Or Witness intimidation played very much into the decision and laura, we also all remember that really awful. Her read this video of combs viciously beating his then girlfriend, Cassie Ventura in a Hotel Lobby in los angeles. How much of that footage actually play in the Court Today . Well, first, that footage is undeniably disturbing to think about what we witnessed and that this may have been a precursor as a civil matter that would lead to the criminal allegations as charged in this the idea of intimidation or obstruction or the abuse related allegations, which in part are contained in this new indictment, would have weighed into the Courts Decision as to whether he posed a Safety Risk to the community, specifically, now, he has come out, as you recall after that video to apologise for his behaviour to say that he was disgusted then and discuss it now with what he saw but we are talking about violent crimes. Violent allegations that will weigh in the courts overall decision about keeping the community safe. Now, he will be as somebody who has some notoriety, he will have some level of protective custody, not in a traditional sense, but separation from maybe part of general population or thinking ahead to what that might look like for him. But he right now is similarly situated with every other defendant who has allegations of this severity and poses a potential risk for intimidation or obstruction. Remember, some of the conduct they allege is as recently as 2023 later in the year and as of last week they alleged he made phone calls. Are there were some communication over 50 trying to access a particular witness that he thought might be a part of this entire endeavour. And so all that combined is weighed heavily on the judges mind. It was interesting, laura, that the Prosecutor Today read a text message, one of combs is victims sent to him after Cassie Venturas lawsuit became public. Shes the former girlfriend who was kicked and beaten brutally by Sean Diddy combs in that Hotel Lobby. The woman said, and im quoting now, i feel like im reading my own sexual trauma and said she felt manipulated by combs. What does that tell you about the risk of Witness Tampering going forward that tells me that this particular indictment might be the floor, not the ceiling of what the allegations would contain. Remember, there are these civil lawsuits separate and apart from what, eight prosecutor will be able to charge, those are normally ending in damages, often monetary damages, and a criminal prosecution that can be used to build Ones Case and to buttress the credibility of other witnesses. This suggests to me, given that this is a criminal enterprise being alleged, and they talk about enabling Playing Enablers of people who were around. Diddy, it might be very likely that part of that enterprise could be to access people who they think might possibly be helpful to the prosecution. And that is very, very disturbing for any prosecutor thinking about how theyre able to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, not only for the victims that are alleged, but prospective victims as well in the administration of justice.

Mossad also tracked down almost every terrorist who killed israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972 during Operation Wrath of god suspects were assassinated one by one but so was a moroccan waiter in norway, who, in a case of mistaken identity, was killed but turned out not not to have been involved.
