My friend, its congratulations to your grandma i think so too kate, that a super smash, a new Hour Cnn News central starts now right. Just hours from what could be the final debate . This entire president ial cycle, walzvance, as they say, and thunderdome too will enter. One will leave. Weve got new reporting on the Messaging Plans for tonight. And then from Pack Mules to semitrucks all out effort to get supplies to communities, almost entirely cut off by Hurricane Helene in Port Workers on strike this morning. The impact on the supply chain, the economy at the president ial race im John Berman with Kate Baldwin in sarah seidner. This is Cnn News newsroom its beep night. The first and only Vice President ial debate between Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and ohio senator j. D. Vance is just hours away now, a faceoff that will also likely be the last debate by all accounts this entire Election Cycle with just 34 days left to go, yeah, a month and a few days moments ago, we saw Tim Walz departing michigan for New York where tonight the stakes will be enormously high on the debate when both nominees take the stage just to make their cases to millions of voters like the last few debates, there will be no audience microphones, however, will not. In this case be muted. But cbs has said they reserve the right to mute if needed. Each candidate will have two minutes to answer questions, two minutes to respond, and a minute rebuttal. Lets get right to how each team is preparing. Steve contorno for now and Priscilla Alvarez, both standing by here in New York, just down the street. Priscilla, im going to begin with you. What is the latest from the camp . Harris Harris Walz Camp when it comes to this and the preparations that are underway on his part yes, certainly this is going to be a highstakes moment, uncharacteristically. So for a Vice President ial debate, but as you mentioned, it could be the last debate of the president ial election. And of course, the race remains tight so the governor has been in michigan over the last few days where he set up his own Debate Camp and there he watched videos of vance debating, as well as practice in mock sessions with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as the standin. Now, as ive talked to you, say, he has two tasks beforehand. One, speak to the Vice President s agenda, tried to convince voters who still dont know her Vice President very well to cast that vote for her in november, but also to tie j. D vance directly to President Donald Trump, essentially arguing that he is just as much as a risk as the former president. Now, of course, he, according to asr spoken with, not as good as a debater as vance, thats what they believe what they hope that he can lean into that every Man Appeal on his own likability to reach voters when hes on that Debate Stage. Of course, theyre going to talk about a range of issues the economy, healthcare, immigration, among others. But this is also a moment that really showcases how much this president Central Election has changed. Remember only a few months ago was if Vice President Kamala Harris who was preparing for this very debate. So they are aware of the task at hand. The Vice President remains behind closed Doors Today in washington, dc. She said over the weekend in Las Vegas that she would be cheering on Tim Walz and that it shouldnt be the last word as you can can use to needle the former president to try to get one more Debate End before election day. Sara . Yes, she continues to needle him and we heard form former President Donald Trump going after walz. We will see what happens, but lets talk to steve contorno, who is going to give us some idea of how vance is. Im sorry, how they held vance is sort of preparing for tonight himself yes. Sara, you mentioned Donald Trump. He called Tim Walz, a quote moron, but theres a very different message coming from the Trump Campaign when we talked to them, they said that they believed that the Minnesota Governor is quote, a wily political veteran and very good in debates. And so they have spent the better part of the last time month preparing j. D. Vance for this moment. He is someone they picked in part because of his Oration Skills and they believe that he will be a strong debater and they have been preparing him in part by having him have frequent engagements with the media. He has kept up a pretty aggressive interview appetite, much more aggressive then his counterparts. It includes interviews with the press. Sunday shows. He regularly takes questions from the reporters that travel with them. All that they believe has sharpened his Debate Skills and gotten him ready for tonight. Now, one of the big questions though, coming out of this, is how americans respond to aid going into this night. He is under water in his favourability waiting. Of course, though sara, his main audience of one, Donald Trump absolutely thank you to both of you. Steve contorno and Priscilla Alvarez here in New York with us waiting that debate in just a few hours, all right. With me now cnn senior political analyst Gloria Borger and cnn senior political Commentator Evil to axelrod. Thank you both so much for being here now i know you guys are new to politics, but in old maxim used to be that the Vice President ial debate it doesnt matter so much. David why make the case that that is not so this time well, this is theres nothing about this race that is like any other race. And one of the things that isnt like any other races that the president ial candidate democratic side is brand new basically, 90 days. So is still in the process of introducing herself to the american people. It is. And the other thing thats kind essential here is so razor tight race. So any change in the environment can be significant now, Vice President ial races dont necessarily mean that much. Gloria and i remember the most Debate Line ever was Lloyd Benson crushing Dan Quayle in a Vice President Central Debates saying, Jack Kennedy was my friend, youre no, Jack Kennedy and they call them Vice President quayle after that election because people vote for the president. But to the degree that they advance the cause of their candidates it could be meaningful. Sorry, john and dont forget, this could be the last time the last big debate we have. Because Donald Trump has said hes not going to debate again, even though Kamala Harris wants another debate and so this is the last big chance with a huge audience, you get to defend your ticket so it makes the stakes a little bit higher. Id say one other thing about this that is unusual about this 78yearsold and hes given us a lesson in the world has seen age has its ravages, it takes its toll. People are going to be looking at the j. D. Vance and they have reason to think this guy could be president of the united states in the next four years if we elect this ticket. So there may be an added bit of scrutiny to vance in this debate. So we can show people what americans think of all four candidates right now, we have it up on the screen here. Lets take a shot of that and you can see when theyre looking at j. D vance right now, they have an unfavorable opinion of him, harry, putting together this slide. This is net favorable ratings 11 for j. D. Vance, harrys take on it was oil. They that was difficult Analysis Minus Love except french or whether its him in plus four. So gloria if youre 11 in terms of favorability how does vance may be need to be careful or not and prosecuting the case against him. Walz you know, i think its a Fine Line to walk because hes pretty good on the attack. Hes very good at turning any question from a reporter around to what he wants to talk about. Hes been pairying with reporters, but he can get nasty and he can get angry. Both of these guys can. So i think you have to be very, very careful about that. And on the flip side of that, Walz Cant play up the folksy side of himself too much. Or people will think, wait a minute, what is he doing . A heartbeat away . If from the presidency . So i think they both have challenges there. But, you know, its very hard for vance. Its been very hard for vance to live down the childless Cat Lady of earlier in the campaign. And i guarantee you, walz is going to raise that again tonight. Walz really hasnt been out there david this is, this is what this is one of the issues. You vance was chosen by trump to be his Designated Hitter on tv and he is ubiquitous on these Sunday Shows and in interviews, he is, he is been prepping, not just for the last week, but through these Appearances Walz has and the campaign, its interesting to me that the campaign is basically leaked over the last 24 hours. Well, he told us that he wasnt a good debater. I mean, theyre actively trying to lower expectations for walz glorious, right . I mean, vance vance is very good at this. And he was chosen for that. Walz was chosen for that Ap Ability that warmth. And the question is is it going to be a Labrador Retriever versus a coyote . And how does that turn out . Laura, you brought up something that im fixated on in this campaign, which is that if this is in fact the last debate, whats left . To move the needle between today and November 5 . Well, i think youll get a lot of more of the same and thats a really, thats a really good question. I think if vance doesnt do particularly well tonight for some reason then im wondering whether Donald Trump and the campaign will say we cant let that be the last word. And that they will then decide, okay, wait a minute. Maybe October 23 isnt too late to have a debate i think that theyre going to be looking at this in a very, very careful way. And if you dont have another debate and you just continue to the end of the campaign, then you wait for something to happen. You know, the old October Surprise. Remember that will there be one of those . I mean, we dont know this whole race has been so unpredictable that we cant really tell whats going to happen. But this is so few debates for the american people that a lot of voters are going to go into that Voting Booth or fill out their form and say, you know, im just not sure about about Kamala Harris or vance or whatever because i dont know that much about them. Look, given the way this campaign has gone, we cant get an October Surprise every day three and day right now. And election day, Gloria Borger, david axelrod, great to see both you. Thank you so much. And be sure to tune in tonight to watch tim Walz And J. D.

Ive been saying publicly what people say and turns out i have enough money. I could just shut up but i Cant Car saturday at seven On Cnn this morning, thousands of workers at more than a dozen ports on the East And Gulf coast are on strike, cutting off a variety of imports and exports. And what could become americas most disruptive Work Stoppage in decades. The strike is taking place at 14 major points from maine to texas. It could eventually lead to shortages of consumer and industrial goods, which could then of course lead to Price Hikes and a problem for the economy. Cnns Vanessa Yurkevich is in New Jersey with more on this, where exactly their Negotiation Stand and i see that people are standing up right behind you, protect testing, and striking at this very hour negotiations really have not moved since yesterday. And that is when the president of the Ile Union called the strike 12 00 a. M. 1 00 a. M. Tens of thousands of Union Workers out on the Picket Lines not working at the docks. People have been here in New Jersey at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey since very early this morning at about midnight, you see many of them taking a little rest, taking a little break, maybe going to be in this for the long haul and then you could see just behind some of those workers heres who are standing you could see the port. Its pretty much idled, nothing coming in, nothing going out. Just a few moments ago, we caught up with the president of the Ila Union, harold daggett, who explained why he and his Men And Women are out here on the Picket Lines this Morning Reason fighting for our rights, fighting for our families calling on world who we are went the log who runs this world. And i want the world to know that always sees all live in this country yet theyre making billions and billions of dollars back country dana, three weeks but its warm overdue now its time. I want a piece of that pie for my members which represents the Shipping Lines in this negotiation, says that theyve made an offer of 50 in Wage Increases over six its years as well as keeping language in their current contract that would protect automation of jobs. However, the union says that is not good enough. And in terms of the overall economy, sara, this could have a significant impact, just a Oneweek Strike by some estimates, 2. 1 billion in impact to the u. S. In this port alone, fruits, vegetables furniture, chocolate, alcohol come into this port and Exports Auto parts that foreign countries need in order to produce vehicles. The only power, the only person that has the power to stop a strike is President Biden. He can invoked the tafthartley act, however, he has indicated that he does not plan to do so. The biden administration encouraging both sides to come up with a deal on their own. But as the president of the Ila Union said hes not going to be making any concessions. He wants the deal that he has offered. The shippers he wants at Wage Increase of over 60 . He wants stronger language around automation. They have worked during the pandemic when all of us were at Home Buying items that these very Dock Workers help bring into this port this looks like it may be a long haul and many of these Men And Women out here today are prepared for that long haul. Sarah . Yeah, they certainly put their bodies on the line, but it will be interesting to see just how long this lasts. And were in the middle of an election just election. Youre 34 days to the election. All of this could potentially have but an impact depending on whether or not a deal is reached or not. A really appreciate it. Vanessa yurkevich, you out there on the Picket Lines showing whats happening there. John. All right. This morning, the big debate within the Trump Campaign about whether Tim Walz is a good debater .

Pass just told him is not good. Its yours feels like this morning, we have new video coming in from the idf showing what they say are tunnels under villages in lebanon used by hezbollah. The idf claims they have destroyed many of these tunnels this was released just after israel announced it had launched a gun ground operation, Ground Incursions into Southern Lebanon, seen as Jim Sciutto is in Tel Aviv tracking this all what is the latest youre hearing now, jim john you, know, these tunnels are key because the idf has said this is not just where hezbollah fighters hide, but also their Firing Positions, right . They move weapons in and out to Rain Down on northern israel, missiles, rockets that weve seen so much in the year since october 7. In particular. And its required the evacuation of a big portion of northern israel. It is significant though that the israeli forces have been dealing with these Firing Positions largely from the air in recent months. Now there are israeli boots on the ground there and just big picture, israel has a bloody History Right on the ground in lebanon. You go back to the 2006 war. It was a month long. Israel took heavy casualties. There were more than 1,000 lebanese killed in that war. And then you go 80s'>Back To The 80s and 90s when israel had a nearly 20 Year Occupation there this step in this war is a significant one. It seems to be starting in a measured way with raids going cross the border and coming back. But its not clear at this point where this ends and how long it goes. All right. Just keep looking at these images coming from the idf, from inside these tunnels. We will see, we will see how much further israel presses these incursions. Jim sciutto in Tel Aviv. Thank you so much tonight could be the final debate of the entire president ial Election Cycle. A Running Mate Debate tim Walz And J. D. Vance are in final preparations now to Face Off on the Debate Stage with just just over one month until most voters cast their ballots. But remember, some states are already have already sent out ballots. Some people are already early voting well, both campaigns are working hard to manage expectations ahead of tonight, Donald Trump is disregarding his Campaign Team and targeting a new attack back against him. Walz going to do grade is a very smart guy, has done a great job. People like him a lot. Hes going up against a moron, a total more on how she picked him as unbelievable. And i think its a big factor theres something wrong with that guy. Hes sick joining me right now, democratic congressman from california, eric swalwell, its good to see you, congressman. First, lets talk about tonight. Youre going to talk about what Donald Trump also said. Talking about tonight. The way political puts it today is as follows. What today is what could be the last big opportunity for either ticket to make an impression on a wide swath of americans. What do you think Tim Walz then needs to do tonight to be successful against j. D. Vance Hammer Home, the cost of electing Donald Trump as president first, Donald Trump is almost at, he will be the oldest person to ever finish a president ial term so that means j. D. Vance could get a Call And J. D. Vance is the Poster Boy for project 2025, which takes a Wrecking Ball so many freedoms and really make sure people are clear that we cant have this guy as the person who gets The Call, but also to emphasize that Kamala Harris is the new way forward and that shes she has middleclass capitalism where an Opportunity Economy can come to all americans if they want to buy a house because they work hard and they believe they should not just get by, but do better if were going to invest in small businesses and gives small businesses a 50,000 deduction if they start a business and create jobs. So its a contrast of looking forward and looking back, but also again, kate, remind people, if j. D. Vance gets The Call this guy is going to be a real Wrecking Ball to your freedoms. That also begs the question and asking. Do you think Tim Walz is best served . Focusing on j. D. Vance tonight, are focusing more on Donald Trump we dont want to attack down again, we should remind people that geoff j. D. Vance, again, if hes handed the ball, would be a disaster particularly for women and hes caught on the attack against women. But we want to attack the person who, for the last, for his four years as a president , saw the most jobs lost, you know, was fired from his job and then sent a violent mob to attack his office place. We want to remind people of who that person is. And then contrasted with who will be a partner with Tim Walz, as president. And thats Kamala Harris so managing expectations is always the job of the campaign ahead of head of any debate, i want to play for you. What Jason Miller of the Trump Campaign, he is very good at staying on message and pushing the message of the campaign. What he told Kasie Hunt today, especially in contrast or what you just heard from Donald Trump j. D. Vance has been official office for two years, but Tim Walz has been in office for two decades. Hes good. He was in congress. Hes an a second term as governor of the state of minnesota when he shows up in hits that stage, hes disciplined. Hes onpoint. Any lies through his Teeth Contrast that from what you heard was how Donald Trump is managing expectations and calling in targeting and calling Tim Walz a moron. What do you say to that . Who do you think is the better debater among the two men that will be taking the stage tonight. Well, Tim Walz didnt go to yale didnt work with Silicon Valley billionaires to make pitches for most of his career. Hes a teacher hes a Football Coach he was a governor and of course he served his country in the military. But this is really about Kamala Harris is vision for every american. And also again, contrasting that with the Trump Tax, 80 of the goods at walmart, by the way, kate are imported from outside the united states. Donald trump would put a 60 tax on all of those goods. So that means four to five of the items in your cart are going to have a 60 Trump Tax thats going to cost american families a lot of money in contrast with the Opportunity Economy that Kamala Harris is going to bring, thats what Tim Walz is going to Hammer Home today so do you think Tim Walz is the better debater and will win the debate tonight. Couple of harris have a better vision for americans. And thats going to come through im going to take that as a yes congressman. Thank you for coming on. Thanks, kate all right Western North Carolina is dealing with just a mess.

And this is cnn cnn Breaking News we do have Breaking News, perhaps very important Breaking News stemming from the tension the conflict in the Middle East right now israel launched Ground Incursions into Law Lebanon overnight targeting hezbollah, the Terror Group that operates inside lebanon. We are getting a sense this morning that hezbollah, which is a client of iran, may be about to get assistance for iran itself. I believe cnns Arlette Saenz is ready at the White House for us. Arlette, the White House has new concerns about what iran may be about to do. What are you learning . Yes, john, a senior white House Official, is telling us that the u. S believes that iran may imminently launch a ballistic missile against israel. I want to read you a quote that we have from a senior white House Official who says the united states has indications that iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic Missile Attack against israel we are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend israel against this attack. A direct Military Attack from iran against israel will carry severe consequences for iran. Now this comes as us officials had had some concern that iran might try to launch some type of a retaliatory they attack against israel in the wake of israels killing of hezbollah leader, leader Hassan Nasrallah on friday, the u. S has been in close coordination with israel over the past few days, particularly zeroing in on their joint Defense Efforts various statements from the Pentagon Have Made Clear that the u. S. Would be ready to protect the interests of us personnel as well as a us allies and partners. If iran or any of its proxies, a word, it take steps to try to launch this type of attack against israel. So we will see what exactly the u. S is preparing to do in this moment, the pentagon has stressed that they have significant capabilities in the region, including a Carrier Strike Group, the u. S. Has also made moves to try to increase the Force Readiness Posture in the region, to activate potentially if needed. But it does come as us officials have been watching the situation with great concern and the possibility of an attack by iran. Now, youll remember that back in april the u. S. Actually lead a multinational effort to try to defend israel in the wake or in anticipation of some attacks from iran. So we will see if theres a similar type of mobilization that goes into effect to try to intercept any type of missile that could be coming. Israels way. But this morning we are receiving word from a senior white House Official that the u. S. Is preparing for the possibility of an imminent ballistic Missile Attack by iran against israel at any time all right. Standby for a second here. To see if people are sent to the geography about were talking about here, Israel Right here, launched these Ground Incursions into lebanon overnight, focusing and targeting on hezbollah. That what were concerned about now, the White House is not returned fire from hezbollah and lebanon. But this turning into a more regional Conflict Iran launching ballistic missiles into israel. Now, as arlette noted, this did happen once before there was this exchange, frankly between iran and israel. Or israel launched into where iran launched into israel than the united states with the israelis, the jordanians, the british were able to repel almost all all of those launches. Israel retaliated again, that was seen a little bit as a show. Both israel and iran, while they were firing at each other, showed some restraint. Arlette, if youre still with me, any sense whether the united states has concerned this time that what iran will try to do here he is perhaps a more intense strike or a strike with the intention to target israeli cities, maybe even Tel Aviv its not exactly clear what the us is expecting in this moment. All that we know is that they are saying that they believe that iran will be eminently planning an it ballistic Missile Attack against israel. Now, it does come as you have heard us officials really across the Board Stress their belief that there needed to be some preparations for the possibility of an iranian attack against israel in the wake of the killing of nasrallah. You have seen the pattern in a lets talk about some of the capabilities that they have on hand to potentially respond or deter any type of attack. But it has just come as us officials have been watching this closely, they havent detailed exactly what or where this iranian Missile Attack might be heading, but it will be something think that they will be trying to work with the israelis to try to prevent it. They can and to be clear, are let the united states has had a presence in the region. Carrier fleets that have been operating both in the mediterranean, that at times down here or at times even in the red sea, there has been an effort by the biden administration to position Military Assets in Case Something like this would happen, correct yeah and that is, something that the pentagon has been stressing over the past two days. Theyve said that they have significant capabilities in the region, specifically pointing out that that they do have that Carrier Strike Group you also had a huge just yesterday, they said that an unspecified number of troops it from the us has been preparing a tip his heavily deploy, if needed. So this is something where the u. S could try to utilize some of their Defense Capabilities to try to help israel defend themselves in this moment. Alright, Arlette Stand by as we get more information from the White House, i want to go back to Tel Aviv, cnns Chief National Security analyst, Jim Sciutto is with us now when jim, the Breaking News, new reporting that the White House has intelligence that iran could be preparing a ballistic Missile Strike on israel. The significance of that, what it means for the place that youre standing right now . Listen, its enormously significant. This is just the outcome. A direct conflict between iran and israel. The frankly, President Biden and other us officials had been hoping to avoid its not unprecedented. Of course, youll remember that in April Iran launched dozens of missiles and drones towards israel, which we should note, the vast majority of which were shot down, not just by israel, but by us forces as well as other partners in the region, including jordan so we have been here before but for this to happen in the midst of what has become a multifront war for israel now, not just in gaza, of course, you now have israeli boots on the ground in Southern Lebanon and you had a strike just in the last couple of days by israel, 1,500 miles away against Houthi Rebels in yemen as well, to add, another front to that at its really, its extremely volatile. Its dangerous. And of course why im standing here would be a likely target. Now, we should note that Tel Aviv has its own formidable Missile Event defenses at several levels. Of course, you talk about the iron dome, but you also have ones at higher altitudes intended for ballistic missiles including whats known as davids sling. So they have capabilities to defend, but the risk, the danger, the fear. John is that iran might attempt to overwhelm those defenses by firing a large number of missiles at the same time, so that israel could not shoot them all down, or israel and its allies significant, it would be a significant escalation and i think its notable for the White House to say this so publicly right now so jim, obviously this is in response to whats happening inside lebanon, israel of course, has conducted all these operations against hezbollah leaders there over the last few weeks, Ground Incursions overnight, hezbollah is a client of iran you have done significant reporting, not just in israel where you are right now, but also here in iran, what pressures do you think the new iranian leadership is facing to respond to whats happening in lebanon lets these proxy fighters, when you talk of hezbollah hamas, the Houthi Rebels these were built deliberately by iran over many years to be means of projecting force in the Region And Targeting israel, with these most recent attacks against hezbollah, israel has significantly depleted. It has eliminated, but its significantly depleted at least for now, not just the leadership of hezbollah, but it seems some of its firing capability. So that is a blow to irans influence and this is exactly the fear, including a us officials that as israel escalates inside lebanon, not lebanon against hezbollah, that iran might escalate as well and feel that to demonstrate its power, it needs, it needs to strike back. I you have this, its such a familiar its such a familiar game here. I mean, games not a great word for it, but, but its, its a constant testing of red lines. One side fires, the other has to reestablish a deterrence as does the other. And you find yourself in an escalation ladder, which is exactly the outcome that so many in this region had been worried about. Yeah, and the question is, how much higher on that ladder will it all go . Jim sciutto in Tel Aviv, the Breaking News, Cnn Learning from the White House that it believes that iran preparing a ballistic Missile Strike against israel.

Com today im Bill Weir on the California Coast and this is cnn now, j. D. Vance and tim Walz Square off in a Vice President ial debate the first and only while Donald Trump has continued to insult walz on the campaign trail, calling him a moron, his surrogates and aides are taking a much different Tone Warning that walz is very good at debating and should not be underestimated. Perhaps no one has more knowledge about tim Walzs Debate Style and skill than boys olsen, he has moderated three debates with walz and he joins us now. Thank you so much for coming on. Youve moderated these three debates with walz. What did you see there and walz has warned harris during the Vetting Process that he was a bad debater. Is that your takeaway . Thats not my takeaway at all. Hes hes a pro at underestimating himself and then delivering in those three debates, he came in with clear themes in new his numbers, and he was very disciplined he also, i think one of the pieces was that he rarely tried to get his opponents to react to him. Instead, he just stayed very steady in his own messaging it will be interesting to see because these are two very different debaters, then you have between Trump And Harris just a curiosity. What are his strengths and what are his weaknesses . Because youve seen him three separate times doing this. What is it that he needs to be careful of and what is it that his opponent can attack . And what will he do very well in you know i. Think his weaknesses are that hes emotional weve seen that on the Campaign Stage and i sought in a third debate that i moderated, which was an august of 2022. His team did not like his performance. He was criticized heavily for not opening the state fast enough over covid the riot so after george floyds killing, and really his team didnt do it. Thats when they started to wrap them in Bubble Wrap and protect him from tough questions, he then didnt debate much more. His strengths are that hes going to have quips, hes going to be folksy. Hes going to tell a good story. The real question is does he tried to be the moderate Middle Of The Road routes in rural america . Tim walz or is he the progressive seller of progressive policies that he has advocated for here in minnesota how well does he do under pressure in your estimation because you said if the other side can sort of get him to be emotional, things can go Downhill Weakness when he is asked tough questions, when he is challenged on facts or stories or whether it was fraud in minnesota due to covid. He doesnt answer the questions. He avoids them and he is quick. The Thing Today is he wont be able to escape the state but hes been able to escape those in press conferences, even while he was at the Minnesota State fair last month he really had this challenge with you. Got a question about the Middle East and they immediately cut it off. And so i think hes comfortable playing the role as Vice President ial candidate. But Tonight Hell be the one that has to answer all the questions. Voice awesome. Thank you so much for coming on to explain that as great. Appreciate it vague debate is tonight, man, and theres a Lot Theyve got to be asked. Thank you all so much for joining us. This is cnn new news central, Cnn Newsroom up next and j. D.
