We are praying for everyone in the Storms Path in florida and we bring you the latest updates we will with reporters on the ground throughout this hour. But, first, should have stuck with joe. Thats the focus of tonights angle. Now, for years, at public appearances, Joe Biden was repeating limbself, often speaking in gibberish. Those were the words of ja john, ketanji brown jackson. Repeat the line, will not bring israel will only bog down israel in gaza. Laura well, they are about to contract a wicked case of Buyers Remorse over at the Democrat Party because the new immember Son Swing State poll shows that every battleground is tied except georgia where trump is up by 2. The economy remains the number one issue in all of
White house, which the president should be coming in shortly. Griff. Thats right. Lawrence. William. Pete. Good morning. And i think we can take you maybe back to that live shot of Marine One sitting in rehoboth beach, delaware. Thats where any moment now we expect President Biden to board that for about a 55 minute flight. He will be flying back here to the White House, where hes expected to join Vice President harris in the Situation Room for a meeting with the u. S. Hostage negotiation team. He was expected to depart promptly at 8 00. Obviously, its a few minutes after. Thats why were keeping eyes on it. The meeting scheduled in the Situation Room, expected to begin at 915, for the team to try and find ways to secure the release of the remaining 101 hostages. Now yesterday, President Biden released a statement following the killing of the six hostages, saying this, quote, it is as tragic as it is reprehensible. Make no mistake. Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes, and we will ke

C. The 43yearold who was denied bail allegedly threatened to kill judge tanya chutkan. We want to warn you some of these details are down right disturbing. According to an affidavit filed last wee
Mmm the more you know. How important is it that so many people who were speaking so strongly to the grand jury and presumably will to a jury, are republicans . I think it matters quite a bit, chris. I think in the world of politics and media it may matter because it suggests that it isnt just the Democratic Party that is out to get donald trump, but i think in court it also matters. Their Defense Attorneys will always be looking for an example to crossexamine witnesses. If they say you are a member of a different party, that can be used to undermine credibility in the eyes of the jury. When they are aligned with them in the same political party, this really takes away the opportunity to suggest that they are just making this up. So i think it bolsters their credibility in the eyes of the jury. Speaking of the eyes of the jury, lets go to what you witnessed today, the comings and goings of the courthouse. Clearly fani willis said we did this by the book and we are going to prosecute thi
Weve reached the end of another week of high profile and historic legal troubles for former president , donald trump. He now faces 91 charges across four indictments. The latest in georgia, where he has yet to turn himself in. Law enforcement there is planning for trump to surrender no earlier than thursday of next week. Thats according to three sources familiar with the plan, they stress, nothings official just yet. Trump and the 18 codefendants in fani williss case have exactly one week to voluntary surrender in Fulton County. Earlier today, Georgia Republican governor, brian kemp, spoke a lot about what he thought the georgia case might go to trial. In my opinion, this trial, despite what theyre thinking for anybody else, it is not going to happen before the election. That comment poses trumps team is trying to push back the federal election in two nearly three years from. Now today, we also learned that Kenneth Chesebro, the trump ally who allegedly thought up the Fake Electors sch
