hire, everyone. it s 4:00 in new york on a very busy day of news and more details on what promises to be a blockbuster hearing on the january 6 hearing and we ll have much more on that. we begin with the verdict in the alex jones trial where a jury has just awarded nearly $1 billion in damages to the family members of the sandy hook victims, people who suffered from the lines that alex jones started spreading hours after the massacre. harry lipman joins us, a former u.s. attorney and former deputy assistant attorney general. let me just not go the down the rabbit holes of alex jones but the families had pain and suffering from the massacre being described as a hoax and the nearly billion dollars in damages does nothing, nothing to deal with their grief but it was as signal, it seems harry, that the jury felt that it was represent henceible. even his defense attorney said in close, nicole. this is a despicable human being and, of course, he s the vilest vermin out there on

[laughter] rachel: we also had this potato salad that was amazing. so good. will: make it octoberfest wherever you are this morning. we re going to start with putin s war on ukraine. russia i blowing up several apartment buildings overnight, killing at least 17 people. pete: this happened after a ukrainian strike on the only bridge connecting crimea and russia. rachel: trey yingst joins us live from kharkiv. good morning. reporter: good morning. an explosion yesterday partially destroyed the only bridge between russia and crimea. this blast decimating the rail anded road portions of the bridge, sending pieces of concrete plunging into the water below. now, the russians say a truck bomb is responsible for the incident, saying that three pe
it s a choice, a choice between two fundamentally different versions of america. in order to make our country successful and safe and glorious, i will very, very, very probably do it again, okay? i m not here to compare anyone s atrocities or tragedies their families have dealt with. i m here to continue to expose sins that our world continues to put in darkness. live from london, this is cnn newsroom with max foster and bianca nobilo. well, it is friday, november 4th, 8 a.m. here in london. that s 4 a.m. in new york. and 1 a.m. in california where u.s. president joe biden will be waking up today just four days until the mid-terms. mr. biden spoke at a campaign event near san diego on thursday night. this weekend he ll appear at a pennsylvania rally with his old boss, former president barack obama. across the u.s. candidates are making their final pitches for control of congress and dozens of governorships are on the line in texas where democrat beto o rourke
priorities straight. those in favor will say aye. aye. mr. chairman, on this vote, nine ayes and zero nos. the resolution is agreed to. greg: nine ayes like a fly. is that right? i don t think so. but there s a shocker. 25 days before the mid-terms, the january 6 panel votes unanimously to subpoena trump. that s about as surprising as the final score at a harlem globetrotters game and about as spontaneous as adam schiff s face. does that make sense? no. and what a co incident. it happens the same day the inflation number comes out and higher than hunter biden on free crack day. [laughter] crime is exploding like a can of sprite left in a freezer too long. the borders are as open as the west wing s windows when joe forgets his lactade pills. so why not? let s go after trump screams the dems. this guy has been in more fake trials than the cast of law and order. the hope is the new cycle will shift from biden s disasters to the orange monster that can make adam kinzing
