Im going to be joined live by the republican congressman leading the charge to change Nebraskas Election rules. Its move that could decide whether trump or harris, win the president ial Election Welcome to the lead. Im Jake Tapper and we begin today with our World Lead and the most extensive day of israeli attacks on targets in lebanon, not only since the war in gaza began on October 7, last Year And Hezbollah began firing upon israel. But its the deadliest day of israeli strikes against lebanon since the war of 2006 lebanese officials say at least 356 people have been killed and more than 1,000 injured by todays israeli airstrikes in lebanon lebanon, like hamas, does not Thing Wish between fighters and civilians in its casualty counsel, though, government of lebanon does say that 24 children are among those killed today. The israeli say they are targeting the iranbacked backed Group Hezbollah which the u. S. And many western nations designated a terrorist organization and has bola is the same group that Israel Flames for a Missile Barrage that killed a Dozen School children in israel in late july. And it is the same group that presumably israel targeted last week when pagers and walkietalkies across lebanon exploded, those attacks sparked widespread Grief And Outrage in lebanon because like hamas and gaza, Hezbollah Embeds within lebanese Society And Innocence were killed along with hezbollah terrorists, hezbollah which opposes the very existence of israel has pledged to keep firing into northern israel, until israel ends its incursion into gaza. Increasing the possibility that israel may commit its forces to a larger scale. Two front war. Now these hezbollah attacks, including the more than 200 rockets fired today on israel, have forced some 60,000 israeli civilians to flee their homes in northern israel. Today, prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that the israelis are changing the Balance Of Power on its northern front by Dismantling Thousands of rockets and missiles aimed at israeli cities and citizens. More isis likely coming. Israels military is warning residents of villages and Lebanons Beca Valley to evacuate immediately if they are Quote Inside O Near Houses where rockets and weapons are stored, unquote the middle East Crisis will certainly be one of the main Issues President biden will deal with during a Speech Tomorrow at the united nations general assembly. Were going to begin our Coverage Today with cnns jeremy diamond, who is covering this in northern israel. He has new details about how all of this unfolded hes really Airstrikes Battering Southern and eastern lebanon house. But it is the most intense israeli bombardment of lebanon since the 2006 war the deadliest hundreds were killed and many more injured as the Israeli Military said, it targeted hezbollah Weapons Depots and Rocket Launchers meanwhile israeli air defenses springing into action as hezbollah fired more than 200 rockets and drones at israel, targeting the city of haifa and aning further south than usual. At least two rockets hitting the west bank, more than 60 miles south of the lebanese border and just east of Tel Aviv as israeli Fighter Jets carried out some 1,300 airstrikes today, the countrys leaders say they are deliberately escalating, hoping to change the equation. Weve talked to shanahan, promise to change the security balance, the Balance Of Power in this is exactly what were doing where Dismantling Thousands of rockets and missiles aimed at israeli cities and citizens had a lebanese officials say, this is simply israeli aggression in sort of the continuing israeli aggression on lebanon is a war of extermination in every sense of the word on a destructive plan aimed at destroying lebanese villages and towns and eliminating green areas in lebanon, israels new escalatory strategy is pushing thousands to flee their homes as the Israeli Military sent Mass Text messages, including to some residents of the lebanese capital and interrupted Radio Broadcasts urging residents in southern and eastern lebanon to evacuate in lebanons bekaa valley. Is warning is focused on the villagers in the beqaa valley. Residents were given just two Hours Notice before israeli jets began hitting targets, including homes or the Israeli Military says hezbollah is storing rockets and weapons as smoke gulfs, swaths of lebanon. Many now fear this is just the beginning as the prospect of All Out War now looms larger than ever. And jake, if you needed any more indication that this is a country on a war footing tonight, the israeli cabinet approving a quote, special situation nationwide giving itself the power to impose additional restrictions on civilian life. Meanwhile, tonight here in haifa, this city, the third largest in israel, saw the first missiles since the beginning of this conflict, aimed squarely right here as hezbollah shows that it is not only capable, but also willing to strike deeper into israel. Then before jake, all right. Jeremy diamond, thanks so much. Former israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett joins us now, i thanks for joining us. So hezbollah has significantly more Military Capacity than hamas does. Can the Israelis Fight . A two front War North against hezbollah and the west against hamas, not to mention, of course, the incoming from the houthis in the South And Iran and iranbacked militias in the northeast as israel had the capability to do this yes todays israeli strikes in lebanon have iran, which backs both hamas and Hezbollah Warning of dangerous consequences what. About that warning . How concerned is the israeli government, the Israeli Military about the fact that iran might get more involved. They obviously have fired on israel directly in the last few months, not to mention, of course, using their proxies we can defeat our enemies even when the fight us combined what youre seeing right now is after such a long time of us containing and containing hits from all of our fronts. Weve been hit through on this, youre referring to the attack on the us marines barracks in beirut in the 1980s. Do you think the flare of the israeli Hezbollah Conflict is smothering any efforts to negotiate an end to the Gaza War and a return of the israeli and american okay, and, and other hostages being held by hamas know the contrary, i think it increases the pressure on our enemies on yeah, yes. And war to reach an agreement what about the fact that there are civilian casualties here . I mean, obviously has bala is a terrorist group, and obviously they embed within lebanese society. But you, the israelis are killing civilians. They are killing innocent civilians in the strikes the vast majority that were killing our terrorists. And i want to say this. I want to talk to the lebanese people, especially in southern lebanon. Its time for you to stand up against hezbollah its time for you to topple them. Its time for you to tell them you will no longer run this country. You will no longer wreak havoc on all of us. This is your opportunity because for way too many years, i remember when i was a young hello in second lebanon war, i was fighting hezbollah. We have no territorial claim in Lebanon Weve not been in lebanon for 24 years. So this is a totally onesided, unprovoked attack of his villa on israel. Theres one way to do away with all of this the Defeat Hezbollah or for hezbollah to laying down its arms because if it doesnt do that its going to destroy lebanon, much like hamas destroyed Gaza Look at whats going on in gaza. Thats going to happen in lebanon. If you dont topple hezbollah, how concerned are you about israel becoming even more ostracized from the community of nations with these attacks which you acknowledged, innocent people are being killed in the lebanese government said 24 children or children were killed today jake, i want to tell you something. You know, what has belies doing there are lebanese who willfully rent out a room in their house for a Rocket Launcher. So youve gotta living Room Or Kitchen and a Rocket Launcher room. And they are paid a monthly salary sorry, to maintain the rocket and to actually shoot the rocket when hezbollah tells them to do it now, if you place a rocket next year, Childrens Room youre responsible for anything that happens to them, not israel, where those rockets are targeting us what would you do obviously, were going after those rockets and Rocket Launchers anyone who hosts a Rocket Launcher in his house is responsible for any consequences including the danger to his own family last week i spoke with some hostage families Israeli Americans who accuse prime Minister Netanyahu of putting his political survival ahead of their needs and the needs to get their Loved Ones home. Take a listen i think all israelis are done listening to prime Minister Netanyahu, because clearly theres a gap between what he says in terms of his commitment to getting the Hostages Home and his actions, we all feel that its all political. We all feel that this war is dragging and it has to stop that was jonathan dekelchen, father of sigi, and ronen neutra, a father of omer, both of whom are thought to still be alive in gaza right now, kidnapped by hamas on October 7 of last year. Whats your reaction, sir . We must bring our Boys And Girls home. They were kidnapped from their beds on sabbath morning they didnt deserve any of this, and we have to bring them home. Right now. Sinwar is not yet coming to the table. I think yes, the war in the south has been dragged on come up with settlements with hamas so that he can stay in political power you know, i dont know. And i dont try to guess anyones motives. I look at the peoples actions. I think the war in the south has taken away way too long. This has never been Israels Method of war. Weve always had short and very effective and targeted wars at the Sixday War 1956 war was it just a few days youll keep World War was three weeks a bit less than that. And suddenly weve got this very, very slow lowintensity war. And i think thats a mistake former israeli Prime Minister, enough tally bennett. Thank you so much for your time today, sir. Thank you, jake. Today were getting a Brandnew Look at the president ial race in the United States and a handful of states i could decide the winter were going to break down all those numbers and x plus we learned today about the Titan Sub, that in imploded in the ocean, killing everyone on board as they tried to explore the wreckage of the titanic, stay with us tv On Sunday at nine On Cnn love your phone, but not the cost of your current plan you love and get one line for 25 a month.

A new Cnn Poll of polls finds the race is still essentially locked in a tight with no clear leader and much more importantly, in the critical Battleground States that will decide who actually wins control of the White House new polls in those Swing States show Donald Trump with a slight advantage in the sunbelt cnns Harry Enten is live at the Magic Wall for us in New York. Harry walk, walk us through the numbers. Yeah, i care a lot more about these sunbelt battle how ground states than i do that national polling leader, because the fact is its the Electoral College. So lets take a look at where we are in the Sun Belt Battleground states. And you can see a lot more red on your screen there. In fact, there is no blue on your screen. Arizona Donald Trump, up by Five Points, georgia were characterizing it as no clear leader, but hes got four points ahead of Kamala Harris. And in the great state of North Carolina its Donald Trump by three points. Again, no clear leader. I should note that these results are a little bit more republican leaning than the averages are in these states. But even in the averages, they all showed Donald Trump slightly ahead in these three pivotal Battleground States, two of which Joe Biden carried last time around arizona and georgia. So when you drill down into the data, what are some of the facts . There is that explain why these numbers are friendly to Donald Trump . Yeah. Why are they . Lets dig Deep Down into those cross tabs. All right. I think this will give you an indication why, whats the most important issue for determining your November Vote . And this is arizona, georgia, North Carolina, and average look, get Whats Number one, the Economy Slash Inflation 31 thats a great issue for Donald Trump. Hes always lead on the economy and inflation. How about immigration Issue Number to 16 . Another great issue for Donald Trump only when we get down here to abortion at 16 is where Kamala Harris does particularly well. So two of the three top issues are issues on which Donald Trump does better than Kamala Harris. So not much of a surprise that hes getting in the paul how about this . I think this is really interesting, right . Choice for president arizona, georgia, North Carolina. Alright, hispanic voters four years ago, Joe Biden won that vote 66 in the sunbelt. Look at where we are now, Kamala Harris at just 52 . So kamala, how are struggling among hispanic voters, Donald Trump doing considerably better than he did four years ago. How about black voters . Kamala harris, again, leading here by a significant margin, right . Shes getting 83 of that vote, but that is significantly short of Joe Bidens 92 . So the bottom line is in the sunbelt, which is much more diverse than the northern Battleground States up in the great lakes, Kamala Harris is struggling among voters of color, jake and harry, as you know and obviously it all comes down to the Electoral College that Magic Number is 270 of harris is able to hold onto those blue wall states, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, and trump continues to maintain his advantage in the sunbelt. What do we get . Oh, my goodness, look, how close this race is 276 electoral votes to Donald Trump comes to 62 because she carries these great Lake Battleground states, even if she loses a North Carolina, georgia, and arizona. But the bottom line is this, mr. Tapper, this race is way too close to call based upon the polling that i currently say where were harry, why do you have nevada blue . Why . Because that is the Polling Average is nevada and it is blue. And by get this by a single percentage point, its The Oneself, but Sun Belt State in which Kamala Harris currently holds any sort of advantage. But even there its way too close to call is our dear friend john ralston, would like to say, yeah, i dont know that i buy that harry. Why you dont buy it, then were going to have to come back on and well talk about alone. Youre all you have an open invitation. What happens . If you turn to nevada, read you do that. I can turn nevada red and guess what happens if we turn nevada a red Kamala Harris gets exactly 270 electoral votes. So she would still win in this scenario. If you turn nevada red because she wins. Of course, in nebraskas second Congressional District, which at this Point Looks like its going to maintain its blueness because the statewide law is going to maintain that it gives him electoral vote to the winner of each other wheel will talk more about that in a little bit with the guy trying to change the law in nebraska, Harry Enten at the Magic Wall. Thanks so much. Lets bring in our panel of political experts. Sorry, i went a little long there, but you know, again around a map when i go crazy, paul, i have to say do you disagree with the idea that Kamala Harris is running as if shes Five Points up. Shes running a cautious raised oh, shes not doing big interviews. Shes not she has yet to do a press conference. Know you disagree. Know. I really do. She says, im the underdog because she is i think shes running honestly, flawless camping. Should she do more interviews . Well, yeah. But our colleague Brian Stelter actually reported this out. She doing a ton, but their local interviews, shes i wish she would come monday, wednesday, and friday on the lead with Jake Tapper. I do. Okay. Im biased because i work here, but also, i think it would be good for her but shes doing local after the debate in philly. She didnt gender you. I wish she had vivid channel six. Channel six, action news, wpvi, the prominent station and the dominance and the most important state. She did cheeky baby, who was huge spanishlanguage radio show. She did as trump did the National Association Of Black Journalists wish you. Of course she should do a lot of interviews. It is frankly more important because the Electoral College to do this regional, local press than it is to do national press. Kristen, what are you thinking . Well, i i think shes smart and that she doesnt do a whole lot of interviews because she doesnt have to answer the hard questions. And so we saw Joe Biden did the same type of strategy back in 20 2020, wasnt really out there, kind of a Basement Campaign Harris is doing the same thing. Shes not doing big interviews because she doesnt want to answer why shes flipflopped On Fracking today, there was an article saying that shes very being very vague about her position on immigration. Now, it is very smart because she doesnt have to if she can hold run the clock out, you know, were starting voting in some of these states in pennsylvania and virginia. And if she doesnt have to answer these questions, its probably better off. I dont really know how far vibes will get her. Shes going to have to put some meat on the bones here. What are the things we saw in the New York time . Lets polls that an every single state, arizona, North Carolina, and georgia. More people say that trumps policies helped them and hurt them. More. People said that harris, his policies hurt them, then help them. Are you sure . I want to read some analysis by our friend, cnns stephen collinson, who writes quote, wild weeks of outlandish rhetoric, rhetoric by Donald Trump have revived memories of the case the company of his four White House years and shattered perceptions that hes running a more Discipline Campaign than in 2020 or 2016. But the nature of the race, a tossup contests in Swing States has not budged. Does that surprise you . It doesnt surprise me because the country is so divided and, you know, i was out of carolina recently. I know well talk about them later, but you know, what you really get when you talk to voters is there is a lot of, there are black voters who have a lot of distaste for Donald Trump but there is a concern about inflation. Theres a concern about the cost of living, and then they come back to win so no, as much about harris, right . And so i think that harris does need to closed need to close the deal, but guess the lawsuit means to close the deal. Donald trump, right . He has matt close the deal. And if you look at the Cnn Poll of Polls Trump is still struggling to get a majority of americans to support him. Thats an average of the leading polls. Fifth harris at 50 , trump at 47 . Again, what is more important is the Battleground States, not the national polls, but still, hes still struggling to get 50 he is, he doesnt, he doesnt have to nationally, right. Isnt it come down to 50,000 voters outside of philadelphia, outside of atlanta, outside of phoenix, outside of las vegas. And so those national polls, i know we like to talk about them, but they really arent indicative of whats going on on the ground when you go into these Battleground States and see the fact that, for where there favorability is right now, trump is outperforming his base to where harris is. He and where hes, you know, where shes winning with women and white College Educated Voters. His favorability is higher and so he has a higher ceiling to convert than she does with men and with white noncollege. But trump is not close, like in a, in a state like North Carolina the line that trump should be further ahead. I mean i mean, yes. Like there are a lot of you can imagine harris, there are a lot of College Educated Voters in it is turning more blue, but in a state like North Carolina, trump should be further ahead, even in georgia. I mean, i think that there i think the fact that is that this race is closer when you think about inflation, cost of living, all this stuff, i think trump does drag his own self down. Donald trump has been president ial candidate, or president for nine years, three months, and eight days. During that time, he has never once had a day where he commanded 50 support Kamala Harris been a president ial candidate 57 days. Shes hit 50 in some of these national polls. Now, i agree national polls dont matter, just like national interviews dont matter. But trump trades, its such a narrow Range And Hell never fall. Youll never i dont want to depress you, but i went through where she was found responsible for sexually abusing e jean carroll. He gained zero point 9 . He gained a point, he gained a point. No, you didnt lose a point when hes convicted of 34 felonies mean nothing moves this guy down but not a lot moves him up the entire Time Com has been running against him. He has moved 1. 5 . I would argue the nasdaq interest, national interviews are bigger exposure, but Everyone Stick around. Weve got a lot more to talk about republicans in a major Roadblock Today as they tried to change the rules in one crucial area ahead of the president ial election are Harry Enten and just mentioned it. Its omaha, nebraska, how all of this could impact the race thats next youre still going to one Class President would be slogan wow, working on Campaign Posters have yet boat from madison because shes so cool and has the best snacks that are.

That one electoral vote could be the difference between harris being president . Not and shes a disaster for nebraska and the world the outcome of the president ial election could all come down to one single electoral vote in nebraskas second Congressional District, which includes omaha, the states most populous city, could be The One to tip the scale, which is why former president Donald Trump and his allies such as south carolina, Lindsey Graham is you just heard are pushing for Nebraska State Legislature to overturn a 30 Year Election Law and move to a winnertakeall Electoral College approach. A move that would likely benefit trump, Nebraska Zone or does Nebraska State Legislature have the votes to make this change with just a few weeks before early voting begins in nebraska, jake, increasingly it looks like they do not have the votes and this really has been a perennial issue. This Isnt Anything new. They knew that the race was going to be tight, but the legislature has failed to mount enough support to change its the law. While a last Ditch Effort last week with Lindsey Graham going to lincoln, as you said, sitting with a republican State Senators, the governor convened a meeting. The former president called into, have a conversation with a couple of State Senators. We told all of that is not going to be enough in Omaha State Senator by the name of Mike Mcdonald has just said just a short time ago this afternoon here. That he is not going to be the deciding vote to change the law. The governor was prepared to have a Special Session of the legislature before the November Election to change the law for this election. But this senator who has ambitions of his own, he would like to run for mayor of omaha at some time. Perhaps he is not going to change his support for this bill. He said it should be up to the people of nebraska, so he will put a constitutional amendment up next year to have a vote of this. But jake, the reason this matters, omaha, they call it the Blue Dot the Harris Campaign cannot win to 70. You see those Blue Dots that are popping up in front lawns across omaha. The Blue Wall Plus the Blue Dot of omaha that reaches to 70. If she does not win any other states across the sunbelt. So thats why it matters. But at this point, it looks like the law will not change this year. Jake, Jeff Zeleny, Nebraska Zone. Thank you so much. Lets bring in another nebraska and hes one of the republicans pushing for this change to the brass because Election Law congressman Mike Flood of nebraska, thanks so much for being here, sir. We appreciate it. So one of the holdouts as jeff just noted, State Senator Mike Mcdonald of omaha, he wrote this Statement Today that included in part quote, after deep consideration it is clear to me that right now 43 days from Election Day is not the moment to make this change. He goes on to say, nebraska voters either party, should have the final say on how we pick a president. Does that mean the efforts over . Well, it certainly disappointing that it would be a pretty large setback last week, i was in the Governors Mansion when we had that meeting with Lindsey Graham governor pillen, and a State Senators and Mike Mcdonald told the republicans he was trying to get to yes. And so there was hope that he would get there, obviously, a setback, three votes short is really where we are. I felt that if mcdonald had said yes, The Other Two would have come along, but that just developed today. It is where that thats where we are so well see where we go next. So let me ask you a devils advocate question. Okay. So since 2020, when so many states, democratic states and republican states changed Election Laws to make it easier to vote during the pandemic. I have been hearing republicans saying how unfair it was to change the rules in the middle of the game for since since that happened until today, is this not changing the rules in the middle of the game and not for a public health crisis, but for political reasons. Lets talk about it for 125 years, nebraska was a Winnertakeall State a democratic Effort Led in 1992 with a democratic governor, changed it to this apportioned plan. And the idea was in 1992, that states like california would start sharing some of their red electoral votes with the Electoral College and states like New York would do that. But the experiment failed for 20 years. We have been working to put it back to winnertakeall. This seem to present one of the best opportunities to do it because it is what a majority of nebraskans want but if this system is so fair in nebraska, why does it california do it . What does it New York do it. The reality is there partisan. They would never change to something like this. And the majority of nebraskans want to see Donald Trump elected. Hes going to win by 20 points. Is it too much to ask to be like every other states besides maine . I mean, you can tie this to anything you want back in 2020, the reality is for 20 years and i was the speaker of the Nebraska Legislature for six. This has been a priority if this helps us get it done. So itd be it so what people may or may not know out there is it main followed your lead . Sure. And maines second Congressional District also does it, except its a reverse approach were made tends to go democratic, but maine second Congressional District goes republican sometimes just like omaha, nebraska is because Congressional Districts sometimes goes democrat. And what it does a devil, you know, somebody who opposes you on this might say, is it brings more attention to your state. You have people coming into your state that normally wouldnt come in. Trumps domain, harris to omaha and why isnt that a good thing . Well, if california does it, i will relinquish any interest i have in changing the law if california 20 wants to start sharing, read votes. But what about mamie . Its not good now take vein, i mean, at the end of the day, man could decide what it wants to do one way or the other. But when 48 states do it one way and we do it this way and for me, and i know a lot of people may disagree especially on this network you would say, hey, Kamala Harris is fine. I see a big choice between Kamala Harris kristen Donald Trump, and im on the Donald Trump side of the equation and i think for the next four years, were going to decide where america goes and our strength to the world depends on this. So just what about the changing the rules in the middle of the Game Thing because i understand youve been trying to do this for years, but right now, were what is it . 47 days until the election. I mean, its really, really crunch time. We are a solid for instate. What is wrong about calling a Special Session introducing bills, having a hearing on each bill, going through three rounds of debate in our states, unicameral legislature, and having a governor signed a bill that is the way we express ourselves democratically and politically in nebraska, the majority of nebraskans need to be able to say this is the way we want if thats the way we want it and were a sovereign state and we follow the rules and we have public hearings and its open to the public. Whats so wrong about that . Thats our democratic system at work. 47 days, 180 days, two years before the election, if nebraskans want to do it some way that that is our, that is our remedy so Donald Trump won nebraskas second Congressional District in 2016. Sure. He just didnt win it in 2020. If the election were held today, are you worried he would lose it i certainly dont think hes leading right now. I dont have any Polling Right in front of me, but i would say that this is a pretty Safe Seat for Kamala Harris right today wed love to see Donald Trump in omaha.

Live in the moment thats your doctor about oh, Testimony Laura Coates live tonight at 11 eastern On Cnn today, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump are vying for support from young voters and trump is doing surprisingly well among young men cnns Danny Freeman went to battleground, pennsylvania, where young republican and democratic voters are weighing how to keep their peers energized in this Years President ial election thinking how could i convince some 18yearold fresh at a High School . Hey, caused them to hold day talking to people you dont know over the phone for Joe Biden . Hard sell, the head of the University Of Pittsburgh at johns Towns College democrats got new life. Once president Joe Biden dropped out and Vice President Kamala Harris became the nominee. There wasnt a lot of passion going around and you feel thats changed. Its definitely how are you feeling more comfortable up j senior, Marianne Bangura says harris, his background in particular has energized younger voters. Im 22yearsold, and ive lived my entire life not seeing many people who look like me or have a similar background as we who have done the job that i want to do. We are like doing well, but like we really need to like keep that energy and thats what im worried about in 2020, younger voters overwhelmingly supported biden over former president Donald Trump. But before biden dropped out, some polls showed trump making gains with this key demographic now, with harris at the top of the democratic ticket, there are signs younger voters are swinging back in her direction. I think she is helping young voters get out and for that, im grateful regardless of who you are voting for, electric, janice is the Vice Chair of the Washington County Board of commissioners, a 28yearold republican voting for trump. She thinks that trump can keep the gains he made with younger voters when biden was still in the race, i will say when Im Voting for president trump, im not voting for a person. Im voting for his policies there. Volunteer base has grown in pennsylvania significantly. And i think what they need to do is get the young passionate, motivated individuals out there seeking other young individuals to do the same for the Trump Campaign is turning to people like steven kale. Did you ever expect to be working on a political gambit . I did not know the thirtythreeyearold Service Technician from Outside Pittsburgh was motivated to knock doors after he witnessed the former president gets shot at his Butler Rally in july when i saw that they wanted to help out for kale, that means out Working Harris Volunteers and staying on message with younger voters as much as possible. I start off by talking about the economy their cost of living, especially if theyre in college. Paying higher prices for gas, utilities. Do you want to come line thicker but on the University Of Pittsburgh main campus, young supporters of both candidates are now readying closing arguments to their peers. I dont know if thats necessarily doable to get people extremely excited about trumps report, my age, but i do think its possible to get people to understand that you dont have to like someone to vote for them. Youre out basically doing things every single day. Were just working on building power and on transforming a lot of enthusiasm into actual actionable the signs that the Trump Campaign is trying to reignite enthusiasm among younger voters is tonight this rally is only the second rally, but the Trump Campaign has helped at a College Campus in pennsylvania over the past several months.

He said that following a dive in 2022, there was a Loud Bang that was heard on the sub once it had resurfaced according to testimony, it was thought at the time that perhaps it was the Subs Frame that was readjusting itself somehow. But brooks was one of those people who wanted to immediately examine it further. And he says that it was rush who ultimately have the final say on that was it was very frustrating because it was left in st. Johns and left on the dock. And we had no way to work on it, no aid to look at it. And we were told it was a Cost Issue that the cost of shipping it back was was prohibitive. They were low on money there has been much that has been said about what the whole was made up on the titan. It was made of a, of a carbon, Fiber Composition it was not classed by his safety organization.

It was too expensive than it stifled innovation in his words, today are representative jake from the american bureau of shipping, which does Class Subs testified that that organization would not have given titan a Safety Classification because when it comes to Carbon Fiber holes the composite can fail catastrophically, are according to this testimony, without much warning oceangates former ceo cofounder, also testified that russia was not someone driven by tourism.
