Out the case federal prosecutors detailed Donald Trumps alleged increasingly desperate plan to overturn the 2020 election and this beach will be a very strong, painful respond. It will be soon israel weigh how best to strike back at iran as President Biden urges caution and later massive trees up for homes literally swept off their foundations, swept down rivers federal help arrives. President biden deploying active duty soldiers to help with the Cleanup Storm ravaged North Carolina 5 00 a. M. In washington. Heres a live look at Capitol Hill on this thursday morning. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us quote. It doesnt matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like Hell And Quote that is what Donald Trump allegedly said to a Family Member in the wake of his 2020 Election Loss in the days leading up to the January 6 attack on the capitol. Thats according to newly unsealed evidence filed by special prosecutor, Jack Smith the 165 page brief outlines some never before seen moments detailing how trump and his allies quote, resorted to crimes today and stay in office and quote the evidence includes firsthand witness interviews, like when one lawyer told trump his claims wouldnt hold up in court. And trump allegedly responded, quote, the details, dont matter. When the former president was told about how then Vice PresidentMike Pence was in danger on January 6 as rioters stormed the capitol, the filing says trump was in the Oval Office Dining room you simply responded. So what now, Donald Trump and his campaign are lashing out about this release of evidence in his 2020 Election Interference Case, claiming it interferes with the 2024 election they should have never allowed the information to be to come before the public. But they did that because they want to hurt you with the election. Its pure for Election Interference to get an incompetent person like kamala. Shes grossly incompetent. She is more competent than biden to get these people elected and new this morning, former house republican Conference Chair Liz cheney were learning shes going to campaign for for Kamala Harris with her at a Campaign Event alongside the Vice President wisconsin. Today, cheney was one of just two republicans who chose to join the House Committee that investigated January 6, both she and her father, the former republican Vice President dick cheney, have said that they will vote for harris over trump, joining us now to discuss is nick johnston, publisher at axios. Nick, good morning. Wanted morning. See you were learning. I had been wondering what Liz Cheney was going to do in this election cycle. She has said shes committed to try them make sure that Donald Trump never gets anywhere near the oval office. Right now today, it looks like shes going to shes set to campaign with Kamala Harris and wisconsin coming up here what do you make of that . And what do you make of the fact that were now having this conversation about January 6 on october 3rd, right . When the election is november 5. I mean, i think its a claim Question Weve had a lot of the times, what will actually move the needle in like him up early, i want to be an interesting television afraid is going to be the same going to head over and over before is that words a perceivable for favorable of people who will see these new revelations and change their mind on the vote. I think the best way, the best explanation i saw what the statement was yesterday. It was like it provided a lot of texture. Its things we already knew of answer. We already have and what we learned a lot more of the details about who specifically was in the room, what specifically was said, those exact comments from the former President Trump about when you heard that pence was under threat, we knew the pieces of that and if i had a little more detail for it, but there was nothing new and regulatory about it. And so just im left thinking as i was walking in here. Okay. Well, if its going to move any the needle, why dont know a bit first indictment didnt really move the needle, the Superseding Indictment didnt move the needle. The indictment in florida didnt move the needle. The indictment in georgia didnt move the Needle Indictment in New York and move the neo the conviction in New York didnt move the needle. This is a very static race. Donald trump almost defies gravity in this where there is a base of people that No Matter What happens, thing that would destroy any other president Ial Campaign in this nations history. Just seemed to bounce off of him. Yeah. Well we talked so much about Donald Trumps feeling right. Which is exactly, you know, 46, 46, 47 . But his floor it also seems to really durable. Its really interesting to me that i was looking at it some polling that, that i think we shared on the show earlier in this week about if Kamala Harris was running at the same level of some of her senate candidates are republican or Donald Trump in 20 at the same level of some of his republican and if we wouldnt be talking about this would be talking about the Baseball Playoffs and so that theres a universe of people who are splitting their ticket, who are thinking a little bit differently about that, who might be voting for trump and the democrat, or voting for kamala and the report. And not running for the republican. And so is that a small universe of people because it doesnt take a lot a couple of percentage points of that and that can really move the needle on this race. Is this. Theyve event that finally the drumbeat that finally gets them to change. Thats something im kind of watching nick. What do you think when we talk about the rules of gravity, dont really apply to trump than we have seen that repeatedly, right . He says and does things that would seem to take down any other candidate i guess the thing that im thinking about as we learned what trump said about Mike Pence is Jd Vance . Yeah, because if trump wins election, obviously Jd Vance on track to be Vice President. We heard what he said or didnt say on the Debate Stage about what happened on January 6. In fact, lets watch that. And then well talk about on the other side, Take A Look acknowledge this. He lost his election. And he said he didnt 140 Police Officers were beaten at the capitol that day, some with the american flag several later died. Its really rich for democratic leaders to say that Donald Trump is a unique threat to them. A acasi, when he peacefully gave over power on january the 20th, as we have done for 250 years in this country, did he lose the 2020 election . Tim, im focused on the future. That is that is a nonanswer nic, i think the thing i keep coming back to as we learn more texture because i take your big picture point, we didnt know. We sort of knew this was already going on but the texture of trump just trusting. So what it really underscores just how important Mike Pences own convictions and own conscious Work Conscience was that particular day what do you make of what Jd Vances future i think that well, i think theres two parts of this. I think first i want to come back to the Liz Cheney campaigning. I think that is exactly the kind of thing Liz Cheney is going to stay on stage with commonly harris say that as either same thing like jeff flake, a popular senator in arizona, is swingstate said when he said he was endorsing come layers. Thats exactly the thing Mike Pence said when he said he wasnt going to vote for Donald Trump in this election. So i think thats definitely what is very interesting though. And this comes back to that gap between republican candidates who are maybe trump light, who are maga, like, think about kari lake in arizona versus trump. They dont pulled nearly as well that brand doesnt transfer as much. So would it be very fascinating and good luck, were not done with 2024. I dont want to talk about 20 20 just yet, but to think about how that kind of rhetoric greg, how that kind of messaging does Thats Port over two other candidates through other people running for office so far the answer to that is no thats i mean, thats the heart of the question that i hadnt really interesting to think about it. Nick johnston, thanks for kicking us off today. I really appreciate it. All right. Coming up here on cnn this morning.

Now pentagon and this is cnn defend itself. We will act. And let me assure you the consequences iran will face for their actions will be filed greater than they could ever have imagined. That was israels ambassador to the un, vowing to punish iran for their Missile Attack earlier this week, he says a strong painful response is coming, quote, soon, israel continuing to bombard lebanons capital, beirut three large explosions overnight rocking the heart of the City And Area it hasnt been struck since the 2006 war between these two countries, at least six people were killed. Us and israeli officials believed that half of hezbollahs Military Arsenal has already been destroyed. And while israels War Cabinet weighs its next move, President Biden is urging Restraint Right to respond officials respond should respond proportionally. Max foster joins us live from london. Max, good morning. Always wonderful to have you at really interesting answer there from President Biden saying directly, no, israel should not strike iranian nuclear sites. That of course have been strikes in irans territory. What do you make of that and what does this debate look like among Western Allies of the u. S mean, how are the brics looking at it . The europeans looking at it . Well, present blood in the party spoke to the g7 and they all agreed that a strike on the nuclear facilities would not be the best Thats Way forward. Itd be so incendiary for the region. The reason theyre talking about it is because there are many options, of course, open to israel right now. They can strike most of iran. And if they want to hit back hard there, the nuclear facilities would be one target, or perhaps the oil installations, which would really undermine the economy and undermine the leadership as well. But people are talking about anything right up to trying to assassinate the supreme Leader Israelis Arent going to tell us exactly what theyre planning because that would undermine that whole operation. The other perspective is were looking here, obviously images of Tel Aviv being under attack earlier wait, but they are currently going into beirut as you were describing, do they decide to finish off or try to finish off hezbollah as a punishment to iran, there are, there are so these are live images actually from beiruts. You can see that attack is ongoing. There there are many options open to the israelis. You just have to wait and see, but it its very clear from President Biden and the g7 that they dont want israel to attack the nuclear sites but how much has israel have been actually listening to what america has to say in all of this. Well, max, its interesting. David sanger cnn analyst, New York times at correspondent wrote a piece in the wake of these iranian attacks that the us election, that these, these few weeks that we have left before voters go to the polls is potentially something of a period that netanyahu can take advantage of the israeli Prime Minister because its part of why i was surprised to see President Biden be so direct there because because there is this perception that democrats will be under pressure to back israel to the hilt No Matter What, that this would potentially open some space for netanyahu. It does seem like these strikes have opened domestic political space for netanyahu. I mean, hes been under so much pressure, but he seems to have more support from the public. Now, how do you understand that dynamic i think watching missiles coming from iran is what everyone was fearing and a fullblown war with iran, because that would be the moment where we do have a full middle East Crisis there was celebrations in lots of israel when you saw these, when, when youve seen a lot of the military actions that the idf has been carrying out and i think that theres there is a window with the u. S. Election coming up for netanyahu to push further because israel within the u. S Gu Try to risk unsettling that do not all present. Biden appears to be doing is saying, we will saw israel as much as possible in defending itself. But when it comes to the proactive attacking, israel has to be attacking. Iran, has to be in proportion. So its just trying to not say punish israel, but at the same time, hold it back. When, when america feels its crossing a line. All right. Max foster for us this morning. Max, always grateful to have you. Thank you so much. All right.

So live look at new York City on this thursday thursday morning. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us federal prosecutors laying out the most extensive case yet against Donald Trump in a new legal brief regarding his alleged efforts to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election. The 165 Page Document coming in response to the Supreme Court immunity for official acts. Trumps lawyers argued that prosecuting a president for their official acts is incompatible with our constitutional structure. The implications of the Courts Decision here extend far beyond the facts of this case could president george been sent to prison for obstructing an official proceeding or allegedly lying to congress to induce War In Iraq good President Obama be charged with murder for killing us citizens abroad by Drone Strike . Trump himself has repeatedly said the president s would be quote, impotent, and quote, without broad legal protections i feel that as a president , you have to have immunity. Youre going to have to give the president , youre going to have to allow a president , any president , to have immunity so that that president can act and do what he feels and what his group of advisers feel is the absolute salute, right thing is eventually immunity very powerful. Presidential immunity is imperative the Special Counsels new filing arguing that the alleged crimes were committed by trump, the candidate, not trump, the president prosecutors writing trump quote, extensively used private actors and his Campaign Infrastructure to attempt to overturn the Election Results and operated in a private capacity as a candidate for office. Joining me now, Criminal Defense Attorney cnn, legal analyst, joey jackson. Joey. Good morning to you. Thank you so much for being here there are some new specific details in this report that we didnt know before, like exactly what trump said when he was told that Mike Pence was in danger. So what was what he said . But from a broad perspective, many of the contours of this already known. The question here, what Jack Smiths imperative was . Is to lay out an argument that Donald Trump was acting in a private capacity, not acting in his capacity as president of the united states, do you think Jack Smith accomplish that . So kasie, i do. Good morning to you, right. So remember what Jack Smith had to do the Special Counsel is he had to repurpose this. He had to really put together something that would demonstrate that it was in conformity. With what the supreme Court Ruling said. Supreme Court Ruling said the president had broad immunity. People would have thought that this case would then die, right . Why . Because so many of the activities described in the initial set of circumstances, the indictment according to the Supreme Court, nothing see here Cant Use State of mind of the president , Cant Use what he talks about. What the Department Of JusticeCant Use the tweets Cant Use a number of other things. So when repurposing this, what then . The Special Counsel had to do was say, listen, were not talking about official duties. Were not talking about someone who is acting in their official capacity. Were talking about someone who was running for office that is not acting as the president , that is acting as the candidate says, Jack Smith conversations with the Vice President , the united states, you would think kasie, they would be off limits . I hey, hes the Vice President. Know Jack Smith. Hes his Running Mate. And as his Running Mate again, private conduct with respect to what he was discussing about really committing fraud against the election all the activity is relating to the various states that were in dispute arizona, pennsylvania, and michigan you name it right . All of those activities that was private haamakim by the way, the president has no role with respect to that. Finally, as it related to January 6, and the lead up to January 6, this was these were activities that dealt with you acting privately to get the election to win an election, not for president. So when answer your question, i think in repurposing this and really indicating what the Proof And Evidence will be. It will be challenged yes. Therell be a response from the president s Team Middle Code that the Supreme Court again, but i think it was effective in laying out the evidence and an indicating why its in conformity with this Supreme Court opinion. That was my next question to you. I mean, obviously were just 33 days. I believe, from election day, november 5. What else are we going to see unfold here . Because there is also this question of norms with the Justice Department does and typically doesnt do this close to an election. What do you make of this and how do you see this playing out in that next critical window before people vote yeah, i think therell be a lot of Prep Pressure potentially on the Justice Department, not to move forward, are continuing to move forward until after the election for a number of reasons. Number one, would it be deemed . And political right . Number two, do they have an obligation because of that political sort of singe to keep it out of public view until after the election. And so whether or not theres more to be set on this during that period time, is an open question. I think potentially not, but i do think youll see a response, a forceful response from the trump team. I do think youll see continued litigation. I do think youll see this go back to the surface. Be court of the united states a Lot Casey will depend upon the election if the president wins the former president wins the election, therell be nothing to see here for shore. He will pardon himself this will be over if he doesnt, theres a lot of answering to do with respect to whats contained in that filing and what it does in terms of conforming what the Supreme Court opinion, which in my view it does. And with regard to accountability in terms of actually trial and an actual him sitting to hear the evidence in for jury to make a determination as to whether hes guilty all right. Joey jackson for us this morning. Sir. Always grateful to have you think you so much for being on thanks. Kasie. All right. 43 Million people tuned in to watch the Vice President ial debate between Tim Walz and Jd Vance earlier this week. And both candidates spent the day after their big night touting a win in the debate. Some Cnn Snap Polling shows an almost 50, 50 split on who viewers thought one. And while claiming victory, they also took time to try to some of their weaker moments from the night, like Jd Vances answer or not answer regarding who won the 2020 Election And Walzs response about when he actually traveled to china in 1989 didnt you answer the question Last Night during the debate about who won the 2020 president ial election . Well, look, heres, heres, heres the simple reason. The media is obsessed with talking about the election of four years ago. Im focused on the election of 33 days from now. Look, ai have my dates wrong. I was in Hong Kong in china in 1989. I speak like everybody else speaks i need to be clear. I will tell you that all right. Joining us now, discuss risk gorman, political reporter for notice, reese. Good morning. Nice to see you. So the numbers are down from previous Vice President ial debates, but still a pretty significant number of americans did tune in to watch these two men. Once you make of how they are trying to spin their own performances, i will say most even democrats, ive talked to privately will acknowledge they think that vance performed pretty well. They dont really want to say that out loud in public, but it is what it is thats kind of the sense im getting to is that people do think that vance performed somewhat better than Tim Walz, but the thing that democrats trial and mute that they kind of feel good about is that they did get this one moment of vance refusing to say whether or not trump i won or lost the 2020 election. And the spin on it is funny too, because it was like, i mean, trump brings us up himself quite a bit too. Its not just they like to blame the media for talking about a lot, but knew this all Summit Trump regularly brings up at rallies here and there. Then also republicans are also shocked and democrats, ive talked to that Tim Walz is not more prepared for this tenement square question. I mean, this was something that cnn reported. Literally hes on radios two in 2019 and where he said, i wasnt there for ten months where this is just like hes hes clearly wasnt going to be asked about this question. Almost like a Set Up ahead of the debate for sure. Lets Talk Briefly also about what weve learned The Guardian has reported out excerpts of Melania Trumps new book, where she stands in opposition to Donald Trump, that they write this and again, this isnt confirmed by cnn. These are excerpts that were obtained, quote, its imperative to guarantee that a women, that women have autonomy in deciding their preference of having children based on their own convictions free from any Intervention Or Pressure from the government and theres more as well premier actually thinks the campaign may think that this is useful to them considering that theyve tried in which a Jd Vance on the vp Debate Stage trying to kind of not necessarily soften his position, but certainly softened his approach, Rhetoric And Tone around this she has not been out there on the trail. What do you make of this coming out now . I do think that its definitely something that the campaign will look at and be like i mean, theyre having entry with the voters right now because this is something that while trump is saying that its up to the states some states are still banning abortions, then thats still an unpopular position. Among voters. And so i do think that this is something that, i mean, they could point to now and kind of used to say like, look, the presence, wife, or foreign Presence Wife rather do support abortion, does support not having restrictions on womens bodies. And so Thats Something they could point to but also i think on the flipside too has mean, theyve already had some trouble with the prolife community. I mean, leaving Abortion Outs of the rnc platform. Are there this year, which was the first husband left out in decades and also people getting upset at trumps position for kind of punting on multiple abortion positions throughout this whole entire campaign and saying that im not going to i would not support a federal abortion ban. And recently come out saying he would veto one actually theyre also having trouble with the prolife community as well. At the moment . Yeah. No for sure. Finally, reached before i let you go, we learned this morning breaking here at cnn at 5 00 a. M. That Liz Cheney is going to campaign with Kamala Harris in wisconsin in the town. Its the birthplace of the republican party. I think a lot of people have been wondering what cheney was going to do in this election cycle. How do you think that cuts i think i think it depends. I mean, at this point, i think a lot of people i mean, you pretty much i mean, i dont know how much Liz Cheney would necessarily sway some undecided voters, but i do think that it as assigned to just have more people that were republican that at one point supporters have trump that are now no longer supporting him. And this is just kind of the pattern that it shows. It shows a broader pattern, would like people who served relatively closely trump me and Liz Cheney was in house republican leadership now that they dont support anymore. Yeah. And of course, i mean, my Big Question is about people that voted for nikki haley, whether this helps give them a Permission Structure to vote. Democratic or doesnt rescore mean for us this morning.

Now we were in the middle of a tough war against Irans Axis of evil, which seeks to destroy us. This will not happen because we will stand together and with gods help, we will win together. We will return our abductees in the south. We will return our residents in the north. We will guarantee the eternity of israel anxious hours in the middle east, the world waiting to see how israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will retaliate against iran for its deadly Missile Attack earlier this week, overnight, israeli airstrikes hit downtown beirut, lebanon, killing at least six people. There are growing concerns turns that netanyahu made direct his military to target irans nuclear sites next right to respond. Officially respond right. Lets bring in joel rubin, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of state for legislative affairs in the obama administration. Joel, good morning. I was a little bit surprised to see how direct President Biden was there about this. This does seem to now be the Fulcrum Question whether or not they are going to strike iranian nuclear sites in iran, iranian territory as retaliation for what happened. How do you understand the political debate around this thats going to ultimately drive the decision. Yeah, this is the Big Question right now. It will israel respond tactically . Or strategically and if they make a strategic move, that means going after the nuclear site its in the political debate here. Clearly is one of hold your breath until the election in november and so that means i believe that franklin, youre not going to see much daylight regardless of what israel chooses to do between how united states responds and how the israelis execute their well. But if they were to go after these sites wouldnt that put daylight between the u. S. Israel would put daylight, but youre also going to see frankly, with israel a decision that theyre going to make on their own for their own security. And the question then of course, is, will the u. S. Get dragged into it or not . And i think thats where the president is trying to tap the brakes on it. But in israel and this is The Big Picture and is already now, is that these are heady days. What you have across the board in israel is a significant amount of support for the Prime Minister that weve not seen in years his Poll Numbers going up. Hes increased the size of his coalition outside voices who have opposed him are saying he should go for these nuclear sites this is, this is, were coming up on October 7 anniversary of one year, and i think thats what the israeli leadership is weighing right now. Is this the moment to go strategically . But there could be significant fallout nonetheless, the united states, we are committed to supporting israel security and defense, and that means like what we saw over the last couple of days shooting down missiles in response, if iran does choose to do another one, how do you think the fact that we are 33 days to our election affects the decisionmaking in Tel Aviv. I think it is absolutely part of the decision matrix. Its not just about what can israel hit middle . Militarily inside iran, its what will the global response be . And clearly with the president right now in the saddle, in control watching this, he is giving enough support to israel that israel feels it has a window now and thats when the Prime Minister is calculating candy. Have this window now where there will not be much its political pushback in the united states against any action when israel chose when thats, you know, who chose to be aggressive into lebanon and Southern Lebanon with the Pager Attack then the bombing of nasrallah, there was no daylight and i think thats sort of the test and he passed from his perspective, he passed that test and i think hes going to continue to view this as an area where there will not be any daylight. It briefly, do you think theyre going to do it . I think theyre going to strike iranian nuclear sites i, i think theres a huge temptation to go and do it, but the caution is actually being effective and thats the thats the other critical moment here there wasnt and attack by Israel Couple of weeks go in syria where they went in and they blew up a major missile production facility. But they had to go on the ground. So its not just a simple throw, a couple of bombs in its over dynamic, and thats where the Security Planners in Tel Aviv are going to be looking at that and saying if we want to be effective and do this, we need to really go on the ground and we need to be much more aggressive lets have been assertive and thats where they may get delayed, not because american politics, but more because of the operational difficulties associated with attacking those sites. Very interesting. All right. Joel rubin for us this morning, joel, very grateful to have you. Thank you very much. All right. Time now for sports, it was a tough morning for a lot of baseball fans, including me because i as you know, an orioles fan, Andy Scholes has this mornings Bleacher Report andy. Good morning. Right .
