Now on cnn this morning, donald trump just days away from potentially having his prized properties seized if you cant come up with nearly half 1 billion plus the man donald trump labeled little marco, may now be on the shortlist to be his vice president. And baseballs biggest superstar, swindled shoheiohtani, firing his interpreter for allegedly Stealing Millions all right. 05 00 a. M. Here in the east alive. Look at New York City on this thursday morning. It is thursday, which means its almost friday morning. Everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us this morning. Donald trump running short on time and options as he scrambles to put up a halfbilliondollar bond in the new york civil fraud case that he lost if you cant pay the 464 million by monday, he could lose some of his most prized assets, like trump tower, 40 Wall Street if he does not have funds to pay off the judgment then we will seek Judgment Enforcement mechanisms in court and we will ask the judge to seize his assets. We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to new yorkers and yes, i look at 40 Wall Street each and every day multiple sources tell cnn the former president is in panic mode with the deadline fast approaching. Trumps lawyers say it is nearly impossible to secure a bond after he was turned down by 30 Insurance Companies the new York AttorneyGenerals Office pushed back yesterday saying that trump hasnt nearly exhausted all of his alternatives. Axios politics reporters, stef kight drawings us this morning to discuss this death. Good morning. Wonderful to have you so this is a scramble for him. He has bragged about his great wealth for basically his entire career. Now someone said, okay, put up, you got to put up half, half 1 billion what are the former president s options here . I mean, they, they are arguing that this is all political, that they are out to get him in a way thats not fair how this is going to play, especially with general election voters as we move into that phase of the campaign. Well, if we know donald trump, we know that he is eyeing this with an eye towards the november elections that he does see this as a political problem. In addition to if financial problem and i think thats going to play a huge role in how he plans to two to deal with this moving forward, you know, he could file for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, and some of these Financial Issues would be solved. It would take long enough potentially for him to avoid that, but thats only he doesnt want to do he doesnt want to again, have is image as a successful, wealthy businessman be tarnished because of all of this theres something to be said for whether trump is actually willing to call it tisha james bluff. Tell tell her go ahead, try and seize my assets and what hell try to spin Something Like that as again, another example of the Justice System being out to get him. We know that he theres a part from that enjoys some of those loud headline moments. Yeah which of this would you characterize as a distraction . I mean, its clear the president were reporting like hes panicking about this. He obviously took a ton of time off the primary Campaign Trail to go to the specific trial because this was really his stomping grounds. Its an area where he spent his entire career before politics, which was honestly much longer than his political career, has been so far. I mean running, winning a president ial election is hard under the best of circumstances, how do you think that impacts it . I mean, certainly this is taking a lot of his time and focus and energy and as you point out, this is not the only case that hes dealing with and he taken time off the cam Campaign Trail time and time again to attend some of these these Court Hearings that to be in court to address some of this. So this is going to have an impact on his campaign of course, they see this as part of the campaign that some of these moments in court have proven to be moments where the Trump Campaign was able to fund raise more money. Theyre trying to take advantage of these moments, but its certainly going to be a distraction moving forward. And it also is a financial strain. This is not the only area where trump is struggling to pull in funds financially. We know on the political front, he also has been scrambling to try to raise funds to meet the amount of money that joe biden currently has ready to go as we move towards november. Yeah. Well, and hes also means out with fundraising appeals, talking about them trying to seize these properties theres a Leadership Pac that has paid a bunch of his legal bills. And these, these legal bills continue to mount what do you think the tolerance is among donors, max, i was talking about tara pulmonary on the show yesterday morning and she was saying that part of his consideration for people that he may want to offer a cabinet post or the vp pick, hes thinking about, okay, how much big money can this person bring in for me . Absolutely. Thats all part of the calculation. We know that he has been whining dining people at maralago, trying to talk to donors, people who have money talking to billionaires, trying to convince them to give, especially to as political campaign. And youre right, we have seen the impact of these legal issues in his packs. Weve seen just last month, one of his packs had had to pay another fine five million just on legal fees. Keep in mind that these legal fees are separate from the judgments and bonds that hes trying to meet. He already had to pay a 92 million bond just recently in a separate case in the defamation case. Right. And so all this is stacking up and he has absolutely using this as motivation to talk to donors, talk two people who may be able to help them out here. And of course, promises of Cabinet Placement and other things are going to be on the table for sure. Yeah. And of course, the insurance there was an Insurance Company that was willing to underwrite E Jean Carroll bill but no one will do it this time around. Stef kight stuff.

New episode sunday nine on cnn welcome back, the secretary of state, Antony Blinken says a deal for the release of hostages and an immediate ceasefire in gaza is quote, getting closer and Quote Blinken is an egypt this morning as ten real intensify over its planned offensive in southern gaza. Blinken says, quote, i think an agreement is very much possible. We worked very hard with qatar, with egypt and with israel to put a strong proposal on the table. Hamas wouldnt accept it. They came back with other requests, other demands, the negotiators are working on that now sen. And Global Affairs analyst can dozer joins us now with more kim. Good morning. Thank you for being here take us behind the scenes of whats really going on here, especially with bibi netanyahu. He was he gave an address to members of the senate, virtually. But yesterday, it pretty rare situation what is going on and how does it impact these talks well, look, blinken has to accentuate the positive in negotiations like this. Even though up to this point, hamas has, every time theyve near to deal, hamas is raised the bar, knowing that netanyahu faces the rightwing if his own party, which will be fighting any concessions to hamas. So it makes a muscle cooperative and the israelis look uncooperative meanwhile, this is playing against a backdrop of the us is the Biden Administration specifically, its putting more pressure on bibi to get aid into gaza. And two slow its onslaught, especially as planned on slot of rafah. So by reaching out to the republicans, thats a way to needle the Biden Administration give the republicans a win with the upcoming us president ial election that painting them as the pro israel party but its all a bit of theater because netanyahu needs the den administration right now. He also needs that aid for weapons. Thats held up in congress right now. Right . Very much so. Is he picking sides and the us president ial election well, he did get along well with the Trump Administration, if not with trump himself. So youre lining up to this binary choice here in the states World Leaders are also looking at this and the netanyahu government overall did really well with the Trump Administration. They meant to the Abraham Accords the Trump Administration recognized jerusalem as the capital. So whatever bit of agro there is personally between trump and netanyahu. I think he thinks he knows how to play a future Trump Administration he knows how to play them. Interesting okay so bottom line here, in terms of the president President Biden had previewed that this deal would happen weeks ago. Honestly obviously it did not blinken has now extended his trip to the region. What is the outlook there . So blinken has added a trip to israel. He hadnt planned one. And at that kind of looked like a snub which is bad with this rising tension between the us and the netanyahu administration. But he seems to be coming with a message. He said this morning in jeddah that the us has introduced language that is going to propose at the un calling for a temporary ceasefire. This is again stepping up the pressure on netanyahu to ratchet back the campaign in gaza, at least for a time, to stop the starvation there. And it sounds like he wants to deliver that message in person. Really interesting. And there are some layers here to just the fact that theyre doing it at the united nations. I mean, the israelis dont particularly trust the un, right . Right. But at this point you have the International Community stepping up. Its criticism of the Netanyahu Campaign inside gaza. The eus Josep Borrell just said theyre using hunger as a weapon of war and canada has all but stopped exports of weapons to israel right now so from the Biden Administrations point of view, both to silence or to try to placate the leftwing of his own party. And because of this world criticism rising, its going that a look like its on the side of palestinians who are starving as opposed to the israeli army that keeps going. So speaking of the israeli army continuing to go, let me show you what netanyahu recently had to say about their planned offensive in rafah, where of course. So many hundreds of thousands of palestinians have fled. Watch mr. Seducer shouted at one time, if i want you to know that i have already approved the idfs Operational Plan and soon we will also approve the plan to evacuate the civilian population from the battle zones so what do you make of that . Hes saying, okay, our operation is ready to go. Also, we have plans to evacuate civilians. I mean, its 1,000,000. 5 people. Is that feasible . But look, the Israeli Defense minister and an israeli Working Group is due in washington, dc next week to discuss their plans of how to move people out it hasnt worked in the past but from the israeli point of view, theyve Gotta Hit Roth because they believe theres a network of tunnels to egypt that hamas use to move in supplies. And theyve got to physically control the space to protect their own troops. So thats why they want to push for this takeover of the whole area. But they havent yet convinced us officials that they can do that in a way that gets more than 1 Million People out of the way and to safety. Yeah, really, really difficult for everyone, right .
