Transcripts For CNN The Source With Kaitlan Collins 20240929

Because they are already in a bit of Turmoil Communication opens up the targeting and the Intelligence Collection by the israeli defense forces. And thats whats happening id add to the point that Arent Kohberger Eighth the day after the October 7 attacks by hamas, hezbollah started firing rockets. There had been over 3,000 rockets fired into Northern Israel and what israel has been attempting to do is find intelligence to strike the leadership of hezbollah during that entire period of time. Thats what i would do as Commander Gen. I think thats what the Israel Defense forces is doing. What general hertling ben wedeman, jeremy diamond. Thank you. Thats it for us. The news continues the source with Kaitlan Collins starts now the source tonight, Vice President harris at the border right now in her first visit as the democratic nominee, trying to cut into Donald Trumps Immigration Edge he mocks her for showing up meanwhile, the hospital that was surrounded by Hurricane Helenes floodwaters that dozens trapped on the roof, including patients were going to show you that dramatic and dangerous rescue that happened today. Also, were tracking new explosions in Beirut Tonight, as israel israels targeting the lead hezbollah, launching a strike in the heart of the capital. Im Kaitlan Collins, and this is the source ago, Vice President Kamala Harris was just visiting the u. S. Southern border for the first time since she became the democratic nominee. Really confronting what has been one of her biggest political vulnerabilities. Immigration harris is in one of those critical states ahead of this election. That is, of course, arizona and she gave a tougher speech on immigration than weve seen most major democrats give any years and that means again, Working Together In Real Time grounded on finding Common Sense approaches not just about some rhetoric at a rally but actually doing the work of fixing a problem to reduce illegal border for crossings, i will take further action to keep the border closed between ports of entry. We will pursue more severe criminal charges his against repeat violators. As president , i will make it a top priority to disrupt the flow of fentanyl coming into the united states. And we need clear legal pathways for people seeking to come into our country were the remarks like those harris is trying to close the Polling Gap that shes had with Donald Trump. She went after him tonight for his role in sinking that bipartisan Immigration Bill on Capitol Hill earlier earlier this year. Essentially equating in his role in all of it to sabotage Donald Trump tanked it he picked up the phone and call some friends in congress and said stop the bill because you see he prefers to Run On a problem instead of fixing a problem and the american people deserve a President President who cares more about Border Security than playing political games. And their personal political future trump, for his part, new, that speech and have part of it was coming. He tried to undercut harris before she even arrived in arizona, saying in michigan earlier that he did not block the phil she wants to save him. She could salvage make up some lies. Like she said, about the Border Bill that trump stopped let me tell you. Number one, i didnt stop it. The senator stopped it. But thats the worst bill ever drawn that is not what Donald Trump said back then a lot of the senators are trying to say respectfully, theyre blaming it in me. I said thats okay. Please blame it on me. Please harris said tonight that if she is elected, she will not only try to bring back that legislation to sign it if shes in the oval office, she also assured voters that she will go even further. My political sources are here at the table with me tonight. Former new York City mayor builds blasio. I mean, that is not a speech that youd typically would expect a democrat to be giving. Weve got 39 days to go before the election. What did you make of what she had to say tonight . I think it is honest response to a problem that got out of hand and look, we have to remember, its the bidenharris administration, but who was making decisions with all due respect to Joe Biden and i think its been a great president. I think the Border Situation tremendously alienated people in this country. They felt there was a sense of disorder. They felt there were not rules. And im a progressive person. I want this to be a humane country with really clear Asylum Policy for People In Need but i dont want to see lawlessness. I dont want to see open borders. I want to see some kind of rules actually work. So i think shes responding to what people feel. And if you look at what shes talked about with that previous legislation shes saying here are some constructive things we could do more Border Security agents have better Asylum Process and shes reminding people, Donald Trump stood in the way that i actually think it makes a lot of sense given the way things have played out. This is her first time at the border since 2000 here is laughing. Marc just has such a smile on her face. She says, teed up ready to go. Well, i just wonder because it is her first time at the border since 2021. I was listening. She talks a lot more about her time as California Attorney general didnt really as Vice President , obviously, weve seen what the numbers are. We can see politically why shes doing that. But i wonder what you made of what she had to say tonight from a republican perspective. Well what i love first is that the progressive new York Mayor bill to blasio is saying that essentially conservative Border Speech by the democratic nominee makes a lot of sense that just shows how much the Overton Window has shifted to the right from the democratic party. I mean, basically the policy she laid out today equates to the mainstream republican position in 2012. I mean, i wrote a book about reviving the republican party to connect your new generation in 2011. And the Immigration Chapter that i wrote about so secure the border everify, make sure that people are working legally, Create A Pathway for citizens who are people who are here, who have been working in paying taxes for years, were done something only difference. The only difference between her speech and what republicans thought then was that fentanyl is now an issue. And she said, we have to prosecute people who are coming in with fentanyl. There are two cartels we have to give the Border Security money to do. I mean, this is a conservative Border Policy circa pretrump era and democrats would never have supported this previously, but it is the practical political reality. Im totally for it, by the way. This is what has to happen. I mean, we know how to solve the border. This is not a mystery. Its just that both sides, democrats and republicans over the last 20 years have wanted the politics of the issue on their side, not the practical solution. Well, and that was the point she kinda made tonight about trump. And youre talking about republicans said they probably wouldnt recognize this plan either. Its not something that youd hear from from Donald Trump and rewind the tape and listen to Mitt Romney or frankly john mccain, or George Bush circa 22,004, 2006 after he won, he tried to get Immigration Reform with Ted Kennedy it looked and sounded a lot like this. Look, this is electoral politics at its finest, right . How many days or weeks until the election was it not 39 i was going to say 40 will go to 39 and we know in poll after poll, after poll, when asked, who is more trusted on the issue of immigration, its Donald Trump, our cnn, poll, our last Cnn Poll had trump up by double digits over Kamala Harris on this particular issue. When you ask americans whats the most important issue, whats the biggest problem facing this country . Immigration has consistently listed neither the first position, second position, or third position. The Bottom Line is, if this election is about immigration than Donald Trumps going to win this election. What Kamala Harris is going out and trying to do, like shes not going to win on the issue of immigration, but shes trying to cut the margins down at least a little bit. And this is part of the effort, whether it works who knows it may be a little too much, a little too much, a little too late but the Bottom Line is that this type of speech definitely reflects a political realities of today. Well, she always goes after him for his role in tanking the senate bill, which i think lankford would agree with her. And i would agree its a good political attack because if you look at the polling, most americans approved of that particular bill, but i think Donald Trump wants keeping the issue at the forefront, and that is why he, lets be honest, tried to tank that and was ultimately successful in what hes saying because she said he wanted to run it, but listen to what she said to make a she went even further than just on that bill tonight. This is what she had to say about Donald Trump he separated families he ripped toddlers out of their mothers arms put children in pages and tried to end protections for dreamers he made the challenges at the border worse and he is still and he is still fanning the flames of Fear And Division and let me be clear. That is not the work of a leader that is not the work of a leader. And that is in fact, i think we all believe an abdication of leadership is, mr. Mayor is is what harry is saying, is that enough is criticizing Donald Trump on that. Is that going to help cut those margins for her . Well, i think what shes saying there and i want to note thats sort of synthesis of her true belief, which i feel right there, that a lot of what trump did was divisive, racist, antifamily. Lets go down the whole list and that is historic democratic position, and thats not changing but also a recognition that the situation the border up until now has been an unacceptable Status Quo i think she is trying to knit the pieces together to me when i listened to that, i say a lot of people are going to resonate with that one member during that crisis at the border, i was down there as mayor and i saw those Detention Facilities for the unaccompanied young people i think america was repulsed by that. I think people across the board felt that that was not consistent with our values at the same time. I think as people have seen, the Border Situation become more and more complicated. They do want to see order and they do want to see something that feels better. So i think shes striking the right balance. And i think shes right to say trump created not only a lack of ability to get to a solution he also infused the whole discussion with a negativity towards people from other countries that actually doesnt fit the american history. I think thats right. Thanks. Shes in her own voice adding humanity to the issue that Donald Trump hasnt added. I mean, Donald Trump has vilified mexicans rapists from his very first speech when he entered the scene coming down the golden Escalator And Work to in his rhetoric, dehumanize migrants who have come across the border and shes here trying to try, trying to strike a tone of seriousness. And yet and yet a sense of Empathy And Humanity this notion that it isnt consistent with our values. I mean, we all know that and by the way, the reason Donald Trump had to fix the Border Crisis when the childrens should Child Separation Policy was in place was because it was so unpopular with evangelical christians, a major base of the republican party. I just think also, look, trump has a record to Run On. He has his what he promised in 2015, 2016 is that he would build a Wall And Mexico would pay for and now hes promising not just to really saying the Wall Part anymore, but hes saying hes going to round up 11 Million people in, ship them home. Right . So i just i think she you have to take both of them what theyre saying at Face Value and consider whats real and whats not. But, but what do you saying strikes me as far more credible than what hes saying i would just say support for the Border Wall is actually its alltime high. He should go back to that, but of course, as Donald Trump normally does, he goes to foreign, leaves, an opening for, lets see if shes able to take it. Well, i would also contradict with his claim that he built the Border Wall while so you can say youre going to build it if youre arguing that youve, Donald Trump contradicting himself, i would never have heard its such a thing. Thank you all so much for being here very up. Next, were going to take you to coverage that we had here last night.

Com a cnn special event. The Place President ial debate. Tuesday at nine more about the devastating impact that Hurricane Helene has had, leaving at least 45 people dead across five different states. And asheville, North Carolina today, there was devastating and historic flooding from the storm drown the city of several feet of water. People, theyre describing what they said was complete pandemonium. As Government Officials put the city under a curfew, its 7 30 p. M. In tennessee today, a dangerous Rescue Mission unfolded after rising floodwaters from the hurricane completely surrounded an entire hospital that caused more than 50 patients and staffers to be stranded on the Roof Trump and others on Rescue Boats who had nowhere to go. Eventually, helicopters were able to land on the roof. And tonight we can report all Hospital Personnel and patients have gratefully been rescued. Joining me now is the irwin police chief, reagan tilson. He was there on the roof rescuing people today. Chief, its just great to have you can you just first i mean, seeing that video itself seems almost just surreal. Tell me what, what happened to the water rose very quickly the dam broke over North Carolina and while we were there trying to evacuate patients to avoid this, we ended up being surrounded by the water and were able to get to the roof myself several Team Members from the Pd Johnson Cities Search and rescue to swiftwater Rescue Team and the Hospital Staff were able to get everybody the roof and Virginia State police sent two helicopters and the tennessee the national guard sent two helicopters and we were able to evacuate approximately 64 people from the roof, be at patients and staff. And the first responders but it was absolutely catastrophic so when you got there the one you were conducting rescues that was before the water had gotten as high as we can see here where its where its nearly at the roof. Is that right . Yes maam. When we first got there, it was very easy to access. And while we were trying to move patients, the water rose very quickly. My understanding is that dam broke over towards asheville and it caused our river to rise even more and by the proximity to mount its mountains, it was it real quick and when that happened within 15 or 20 minutes, we were unaccessible even by boat because of the swiftness of the river the interstate is still shut down on our 26. It went all the way across and building itself has actually compromised but thanks to the pilots and the staff of those aircraft, we were able to get everybody out. And obviously its a lot of a lot of nurses there, but also in doctors, but patients as well. I mean, these are people who are in a hospital for a reason that that have their own medical issues. And i imagined that played a factor. I mean, was there a moment . Where were you were on the roof thinking to yourself, how are we going to get these people out of your safely yes, maam. Absolutely not going to lie. It was very meta on the chaotic, but concerning that we werent going to be able to get anybody much less the patients out and again, its not for those helicopters i dont know what wouldve happened did you have any more time left to spare . Would you say . I think no, we didnt they got us out at the precise moment otherwise, i dont know what would have happened i imagine everyone was incredibly grateful when they were able to get off that roof. What did they say know, they had a lot of things going on and we had a Command Post set up and we were getting to patients there we had ems from other counties because we lost most of our ambulances during this rescue allows for police cruisers. We lost a fire truck. However, we didnt lose any lives. And it was because of the teamwork from everybody that came to help us we really need them and they were there in our time of need had you ever witnessed anything like this in your time as the chief of police no, maam. Ive been chief years since 2008. Ive never seen anything like this ever chief reagan tilson, you did some heroic work today. I mean, just seeing those videos alone would give anybody chills. Thank you for what you did today and thank you for joining me tonight. Yes, maam. I appreciate you all, but i promise you it was all good teamwork. It wasnt just me well, thank you for being so gracious. I really appreciate you. We also have joining us now, the chairman and the ceo of ballot health, alan levine, who is also there this afternoon. I mean, alan, just to hear what this was like today is just remarkable and youre someone who has a lot of experience with natural disasters. This is not something really that its like youve never worked in this before, had to deal with this what did you make of what happened today and what unfolded . Well, the chief has right. It was a very difficult situation. This morning we started to evacuate the hospital and we learned quickly that we werent going to be able to get people out safely. So i actually reached out and spoke directly about 10 15 this morning to the director of the Tennessee Emergency Management management agency. And immediately, the governor of tennessee, the governor of virginia. And their teams got together and started putting a plan together. You know, each of the steps of the plan we found were failing the boats. We couldnt get the boats in and out safely we made a decision to get the patients that could get to the roof and employees to the roof and there was a lot of praying and but really today a lot of people work together. Two states got together and came up with a plan and they saved about 60 lives. And were very grateful for that the building the hospital, its it was one of americas newest rural hospitals. We were proud to open it about five years ago its a total loss. But thankfully, no lives were lost. And the chief is right there were a lot of Heroes Today and were grateful for all of them. Well, i mean, if youre from a rural area, you know how valuable these hospitals are. Two people. There are few and far between. Unfortunately, these days. But when i heard the Chief Say that they didnt have a lot of time to spare before. Luckily, these helicopters did show up to help get people out of their i mean, is this ever a crisis that you thought youd confront and that youd be having to plan for no. In fact, there was a Point Today where i had a chance this afternoon to go out there with our congresswoman, and a State Representative and actually lay eyes on the hospital after everybody was rescued and ill be honest, i dont know that how that building is still standing. It this could easily have gone the other way. And the fact is, i dont know how much longer that building will stand but but it could have been a lot worse. And thankfully everybody was safe. I had a chance to talk to each of the patients theyre all safe tonight at other hospitals and the employees are at home with their families, which is where they belong and you know, look, it there wasnt the chief is right. There wasnt a lot of time to spare the hospital, was not safe and the fact that they were able to land Black Hawk helicopters on top of that hospital as as difficult of a shape, the hospital was in there was there was a miracle, to be honest with you. Yeah grateful for that miracle and grateful for everyone who is able to work together. Alamo dean, thank you for joining thank you. Up.

Thats wonder, may possible ever north Health Services and good coming up that uses are better with the credit gods on your side, rewards once available to the few are now acce just told him im Rahel Solomon in new york this is cnn Breaking News for you this hour as we are looking at live pictures of beirut right now, its dark, but you can see in the background large explosions that are happening across southern Lebanon Tonight as the israeli military is striking a series of buildings Lebanons Capital City buildings that the idf claims are storing hezbollahs missiles. And these hits are coming just hours after israeli sources told cnn that the leader of hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah and other senior commanders were the target of a strike that. We saw happen just a few hours ago . Right now, a senior israeli official tells us its too early to say whether nasrallah was hit and killed. An if he was killed, i do caution if there would be a huge blow not only to hezbollah, but also to iran we do know the strikes hit what is usually a densely populated area Rescuers Tonight are continuing to search for victims joining me now is cnns chief national security correspondent, alex marquardt. And alex, were waiting to see what happened. It doesnt even appear israel knows if nasrallah was actually in there. Obviously they were targeting him. But what he did for hezbollah in order to build it up to become one of the biggest nonstate militias. I mean, it would be kind of hard to overstate what his death would actually mean. Its extraordinary to think that israel actually decided to go after Hassan Nasrallah. He is a legendary, figure within this iranian axis. Hes, he brought hezbollah up to this extraordinary force, of course, with the help of iran. I dont know that i would have bet that israel would have actually gone after him because of the massive repercussions, except for the fact that we have seen this growing series of strikes against more and more toplevel has hezbollah commanders. You and i were in a briefing earlier today, they estimated theyve taken out more than half of hezbollahs top commanders, if not more than that so this really would be a stunning decapitation of what is really irans most powerful proxy. Now, you look at those pictures and we believe that huge 2000 Pound Bombs were used in Southern Beirut and that very densely pop good area of dahiyeh. And you can see why its going to take some time for them to figure out whether he was actually in there the israelis are saying it was a very tough call to decide to go after him but if he was indeed killed, were told it would represent a Potential Pivot in this conflict because of how important he is because he is irreplaceable, because the israelis believed that he represents such a force within this organization. So you could see a scenario in which they are significantly weakened. This is really an existential question for hezbollah. Well, and obviously were waiting to see how iran would respond to all of that. What those repercussions could be. This happened while netanyahu was in new york today, hes here for the united nations general assembly. His gave a speech earlier. What do we know about how the White House, if they had a Heads Up that this was coming from what i understand the israelis have told the u. S generally, we are going after top hezbollah commander. So that would include nasrallah this happened the greenlight was given by netanyahu while he was here in new york. In fact, he was in a meeting with some of our israeli colleagues giving a briefing to israeli reporters when this news broke and he walked out after just a couple of minutes in that briefing was canceled. So we are told firmly by the administration they did not know president Joe Biden himself saying on the record, we did not know about this. We were not involved in this in this in any way. The secretary of defense, Lloyd Austin says that he was only told during but while the operation was actually underway. There is a real Communications Question right now because the White House put out that 21 Day Ceasefire Plan on wednesday day, which netanyahu came out and essentially rejected right off the bat. And we were told earlier today that there was just an honest misunderstanding between the israeli the us sides, whereby the israelis thought that this was sort of the beginning of a process of to negotiate this proposal while the u. S. Expected it to be but into place imminently, its clear that the u. S. And israel right now are on two different tracks in the u. S. Is very, very worried about the escalation that this strike and all these others could call and we can were watching why tonight with these strikes, alex marquardt, great reporting. Thank you for that. We also want to get perspective now from someone who served in International Affairs for three separate administrations. Most recently, Donald Trumps national security adviser, ambassador John Bolton Ambassador if nasrallah was killed, how big of an impact is this going to have on what we are watching play out . Out in the Middle East right now well, i think it will show what should have been obvious beginning on october the seventh that what were seeing in the Middle East is the unfolding of Irans Ring of Fire Strategy the White House for nearly a year now has had its head in the sand about whats going on across the region i think israel and the netanyahu government understand it precisely. And i think thats why this attack, if it has taken as rule out, is so significant. And let me say the vibe its out of the israeli defense forces. And whats coming out of iran to seemed to signal that they both think that it was a success and may well well be as success beyond just now as rula, that many other top hezbollah officials were also caught there. So this this could lead to further israeli attacks to go after what the real threat from hezbollah is which is this extraordinarily large arsenal of missiles that theyve largely gotten from or have been financed by iran and if in fact that does follow that has enormous significance for how the ring of Fire Strategy plays out. All of It Negative for iran. And israeli officials for were telling alex and i earlier, sometimes its hard to know if they actually killed their intended target because they tried to hide the intelligence. But ambassador bolton, while i have you here, i want to ask you about the other global conflicts that were covering right now. Ukraine, we also saw President Zelenskyy here in town and there was just this remarkable scene that played out what in Trump Tower today, Donald Trump is standing right next to President Zelenskyy. Just listen to a bit of what they said in front of the cameras so we have a very good relationship. And i also have a very good relationship as you know, with President Putin i think we went, i think were going to get it resolved very quickly. Very worried. I really think were going to get more mature relations but you know it, takes know, and we will, were gonna have a good Meeting Today and i think the fact that were even together and there today is a very good sign and hopefully well have a good victory because the other side wins. I dont think youre going to have victories with anything to be honest with you . I mean it points ambassador. It sounded like trump was describing just kind of a dispute between two parties, not an invasion of another country. I mean, how do you think zelenskyy heard Donald Trump saying for good relations, It Takes Two To Tango yeah, look, if people couldnt see how uncomfortable zelenskyy looked in that picture . I dont know what else to say to describe it. It reminded me of the picture of Zelenskyy And Trump together in September Of 2019 when they had their first Inperson Meeting at the united Nations Opening of the general assembly in new york when zelenskyy looked just a t is uncomfortable. I think everybody should understand and particularly republicans who hope that trump will continue support for ukraine if he wins. That is not going to happen. I think trump is serious when he says hes going to try and cut a deal between Zelenskyy And Putin and the terms of the deal, Senator Vance announced a few weeks ago, russia keeps everything that it has. Ukraine says it wont go into Nato And Sweetness and light will break out. Thats whats coming for ukraine if trump gets elected so why do you think he met with Zelenskyy Today political reasons, i think he knew that obviously zelenskyy had been in washington. He had met with president biden he had met with Vice President harris. I think its designed to calm the nerves of some republicans who are, who Despise Trump and dont want to vote for him, but are afraid of the radicalism of the democratic party and theyre rationalizing and their own minds surely Trump Wont sell out ukraine. So that this is the kind of picture that helps convince them that indeed Trump Wont be so bad. I just like the break that bubble because i think its in terms of american support for ukraine, if trump wins, i think its toast when trump said today that putin wants this war also stopped. I mean, is that your view of what the russian leader wants . Absolutely. Absolutely. He wants it stopped as soon as as soon as he can just get a little bit more ground, hell be ready to go. Look. I think putin knows that he has, although hes doubled the amount of territory in ukraine that Russia Controls since 2014, they have paid a high price for it. Hed like to put draw a line under this so he can help recover the russian economy, convinced the europeans to buy Natural Gas from russia again and reequip and retrain his army so that he can go after ukraine again in a few years. And that is exactly what he will do if theres a ceasefire along the lines, trump is talking about ambassador john bolton. Thank you for your time tonight thank you.

Prosecutors are accusing atoms of soliciting illegal foreign Campaign Contributions taking lavish Airline Upgrades is it also accepting stays at luxury hotels . All of that allegedly and return for political favors that benefited turkish interests outside of Court Today we heard from mayor adams, his attorney previewing how they plan to fight these charges there are no emails, text messages, or any corroboration whatsoever that the mayor knew about anything having to do with these Campaign Donor patients. This Case Isnt even a real case. This is the Airline Upgrade Corruption case i want to get straight to retired new York State supreme court judge, Justice Jill Konviser and veteran new york political Reporter And Consultant and actin andrew kirtzman. Great to have you both here. Judge. Just first off, tell us your thoughts on this because we were heard from you yet on mayor adams. Well, i read the indictment. Its a 57 Page Indictment that lists everything about the corruption, but not just about the benefits and perks you receive for travel, but also about the manipulation shan of the matching funds, the manipulation of the straw donors, where he was taking according to the indictment matching funds to the tune of 10 Million to which he wasnt entitled because the money really came from the turkish government. You cant take money from a foreign governments. So i think that you could hear Alex Spiro say on that et on that piece of video, this is, you know, he had hotels, its a luxury hotel case. Its not its a bribery case. Its a corruption case. It is very serious matter because the indictment also alleges that he pressured Fire Department officials in new York City to let the turkish consulate opened up early when turkish officials, i believe president was coming to new york. Thats right. The president of turkey, erdogan was coming to new york and he wanted to be in his big big new fancy, shiny building. The Building Department had issues with that. The Fire Department had issues because of safety issues. So they called atoms and if you believe what the indictment says, of course, adams is then a cent until proven. Otherwise, its says they called him up. You always a favor we want to be in that building and his response, according to the indictment, is amman and this will be taken care of by monday and is your cursor and you were here with us when this news broke earlier this week, youve predicted that Eric Adams would come out, that he would play the Race Card in terms of a political sense its of how hes trying to maintain his support. What do you make of today him showing up for the arraignment, what this all has looked like since then, i think youre going to see a pattern of that going forward. I mean, his at the Press Conference he held yesterday, he surrounded himself with black clergy and other black leaders. Hes already invoke race in his response to Aoc Calling for him to step down and its cut its consistent with his pattern going back years and years. Hes very, very quick on the draw. It to accuse people of racism. And boy, does he you know, he doesnt have a lot of courts to play right now. And this is whats going to help ill keep Kathy Hochul and check not to remove him from office, right . Its going to he hopes i guess keep Chuck Schumer from calling for his resignation, right . No no democrat in new york can afford to disenfranchise their black support. Its absolutely impossible to when a race without black support, if youre a democrat. Well, and so far weve seen Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasiocortez even before the indictment came down and call for him to resign. But can i ask you, judge, about what we saw happen today is one of adams is closest allies as chief advisor, her name is ingrid lewismartin she had her phone seized today, her house was searched by state investigators, should just got off a plane. I believe a trip from japan made it through customs. They took her phones at the airport. She was speaking out tonight about an a Radio Interview about what this what she believes is happening. This is what she had to say we are in perfect. But when that the u. S and i do believe that in The End that the new York City public will see that we have not done anything illegal to the magnet all scale that requires the federal government and the das office to investigate us know i should note, she was making those comments to the host is her defense attorney, arthur aidala, who our audience would be very familiar with from from during the trump trial. But what do you make of the fact that this is now ensnared another person . In his orbit potentially, i think this is somewhat typical, not surprising when youre doing an investigation as a prosecuting authority, whether its the federal government or the local District Attorney you investigate, you speak to a lot of different sources. There tentacles going out there and you follow leads where you find them. So someone with whom they are speaking to and we know theyre speaking to a lot of people who work for adams because theyre listed in the indictment, theyre not named, but they talk about this programmer and this assistant and so on. Theyre speaking to people and whatever information they have if theyre cooperating with the government, the government says, you tell me everything you know, you dont get to pick. You will be violated your Cooperation Agreement if you dont tell me everything in someone is saying something about lewis and whats interesting also is that, you know, that it wasnt just the feds that came after ms lewis, but locals. Right. So braggs office did. So theres some parallel Type Investigation but therell be tied into each other. Two such a good point because it was the sdny, the federal that indicted him. So well see what plays out here. Governor hochul, she did put out that statement last night. It seemed to say those should consider what they should best do in this position. Can she remove mayor adams from his position . Shes legally entitled to do so. Theres a process for doing it, but shes the only person who can who could remove him and if you i guess you could make a case that the right thing to do is would be to remove the man because were about to enter this kind of unknown i dont know, six to 12 months in which in which City Hall will basically function just around this kind of criminal situation. And Everything Ground to a halt. But practically speaking, it is a huge step for a governor to remove. Mayor also, youre talking about two very unpopular politicians his popularity is in the 20s. Hers are in the 30s. So this all becomes really kind of a political calculation more than anything else to say. And theyve had a feud going now in between the two of them. So well see how that plays into all this. Andrew kirtzman, judge konviser, great to have both of you here tonight.

Tuesday at nine close caption, it gets brought to you by my q and all in one Home Access and Monitoring System Mikey was the only smart Home Security Solution that provides video monitoring realtime notifications. And let you decide who comes in and whos days out president ial campaigns that to Blitz College Football this weekend is Donald Trump is going to attend the much anticipated. And for me a little Bit Anxiety inducing showdown that is happening Tomorrow Night in tuscaloosa between Alabama And Georgia trump is of course, the sitting president. The last time he saw these two teams play in 2018, that was when the Crimson Tide won the national title. I should note. Meanwhile, tomorrow were also going to see democratic Vice President ial nominee Tim Walz and The Big House when michigan Host Minnesota joining me now to talk matchups is Damon Amanda Laura Host of the Da Show with Bab Check on siriusxms mad dog sports radio. A great to have you here, but lets just talk about the politics of this first because ill also say whats burned in the memory of alabama fans is when trump came, when we played lsu at home and he was in Office And Alabama lost worst game of my life because i did get on Air Force one when he left halfway through and theres a wifi for reporters on Air Force one to it. She didnt even know the outcome of the game until we landed in new york, we lost but politically speaking, what do you think that trump and Tim Walz, what do they get out of this . Going to games and having fancy them in this place. Well, and ask parlance, this is called bump drafting, where you take somebody elses momentum and you get two draft off the back of it for trump goes into georgia, alabama. Its a massive game. The biggest this game so far with a season in an area of the country that obviously usually goes red. And for Tim Walz, you have one of the preeminent programs in branch in college football, michigan, in a battleground state. And so i think it just as strategically place your place yourself amongst excitement optimism, energy, the flag, and kinDa Show that you are a sports fan. Yeah. And of course georgia, theyve got a lot of voters there though i mentioned, well see what happens whats your prediction . Just asking for a friend for Tomorrow Night, asking for a friend. I like alabama. Im not just kiss i like alabama 28, 24 there at home. I didnt like the way the georgia played against kentucky. I think it comes back to bite him and maher. Yeah, kentucky kind of choked at The End of that game. Thats right. They had them and they let them off the hook. George has a really good team, but havent played there complete football yet this season, playing in tuscaloosa is tough. Thats a really good tied team. Yeah, tough. Its an evening kickoff. I mean, thats like when you go in the stadium, it kind of makes the hair on the back of your neck stand out because its dark. Theres like the light show. Its like its a pretty fierce environment, but i dont know how nervous about georgia because i mean, obviously kirby smart. They have a great dynamic defense well, they have tons of talent, fivestar recruits all over the place. And so this is such a great even matchup, but i think of Nick Saban who was on the sideline for alabama. You wouldnt feel so nervous because its an unknown of kalen deboer. Suddenly theres nerves, right . But i think the tide pulled out and boy a big Night Game of the scc, theres nothing like it. Yeah. I think Coach Show Board has done a really good job so far. I mean, ive been so different than Nick Saban, but hes been really impressive. Wheels are Ryan Williams on our side, so thats the other thing given me a little bit of hope as 17yearold i do want to ask you though, we have trump sitting in a box of this businessman from alabama, rick mayors, and he was asked about what trump for question for the box. And i got a big kick out of this was to fillet of Fish Sandwiches with cheese from Mcdonalds Stadium dogs. So as the stadium hot dogs, dominos pizza, and
