This is cnn new central right . Thinking this morning today, tens of millions of americans from texas to main could see severe storms. The strongest threat stretching across parts of midwest. Were talking possible donators, giant hail and powerful wind gust yesterday tornadoes, tore apart parts of michigan, one ripped apart a fedex facility in the city of porridge, temporarily trapping dozens of people in that building. Officials, there are urging people to check on their neighbors after reports of gas leaks, which of course can cause explosions and there were some downed live power leinz, it was the 13th Consecutive De Of Tornado Reports across the United States. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has declared a State Of Emergency in four counties in her state. Cnns Derek Van Dam is in porters, michigan outside that damage fedex building. Can you tell plus first of all what happened to those folks who were inside trapped by this tornado sara, i am on the site of the heavily damaged fedex building where initially 50 people were trapped. Fortunately, they were rescued and taken and cleared away with only minor injuries, but get this there were two tornadoes that move through this very location where im standing within only an hour and 20 minutes apart from each other and yesterday evening, michigan saw its first Tornado Emergency that the wolverine state, my home state, have has ever issued. I want to take you to a birdseye view of this fedex building that is so heavily damaged. This is the mass karam from our Satellite Truck that we have on site. And so we zoom in a little bit closer. Youll be able to see just how the roof collapsed them. Of course, trapping anybody in died. It wasnt just this fedex building that was damaged. This is just a drop in the bucket in Kalamazoo County where im located. There was a Mobile Home Park where 12 trees were reported, minor injuries. They were transported to local area hospitals. Much of the county was without power as of last night look this is my home state, Lake Michigan typically acts as a buffer for these types of tornado super cells. Not this time, it managed to see these storms move in from the south to the north, entering into southern portions of Western Michigan where were located and it caused the destruction in both Kalamazoo County where i am and also union county where it is just to ourself and hes were another Tornado Emergency was issued. Look, i want to talk about the threats that are ongoing and heres a look at the current radar because its still very active with another line of thunderstorms moving into nashville.

Look at that level four or five, that shading of red with a bullseye right over nashville paducah all the way into central missouri. This is an area where strong tornadoes could occur. Once again, but dont focus on the red. It goes for long distances, stretching came from Texas All The Way to West Virginia as well. But weve highlighted the areas where we believe the greatest chances of ef2 tornadoes thats 111 mile per hour hour winds capable of the damage that you see behind me, obviously very dangerous. That is the threat day. Today, st. Louis to nashville. And then of course, weve got the Flash Flood Threat as well. Look, sarah, this is a notoriously busy time of 20 tornado season, april head over 300 tornado reports the 13th consecutive day of tornadoes reported across the us it cant stop it wont stop in today is no different back to you. So the big warning right now, st. Louis this nashville, those two big populated cities, right in that bullseye where there are potential tornadoes the population there really needs to Pay Attention to the weather. Thank you so much. I appreciate Derek Van Dam reporting live there from your home state and seeing the damage from the tornadoes overnight, kate, as wild that damage to that is there also this morning, cord is dark for donald trump and hes also has no Campaign Events scheduled for his day off from testimony instead, today, america gets to sit and stew over all that was said in detail during the hush money trial yesterday, serwer daniel Stormy Daniels took the stand and things quickly real and really salacious. Daniels testified for just under four hours recounting in explicit detail the alleged sexual encounter prosecutors say donald trump broke the law to cover up before the 2016 election. The Adult Film Stars Testimony clearly had an impact on the former president s sitting in the courtroom through it all the judge at one point admonished donald trump for Audibly Cursing and visibly shaking his head. The defense argued that were all went too far and ask the judge to order a miss trial. The judge denied that motion. And theres so much more sitas bridging grasses. Watch. I say that because theres no way im Gonna Go Into detail as ive got to bring you in where do, where do you want to start . Where should we pay me . Listen dennis took the stam brynn word, i want to start is at its not over yet. Its crazy. Its going to continue tomorrow, but yeah, this was an eventful day in court to say the least, the prosecution obviously, needing her to tell her story and she didnt look, this is a story she told reporters. She wrote about it in her book. And now jurors for the horse time or hearing it in open court where she right in front of donald trump himself and she went into great detail. I mean, at sometimes you know, it was so much detail that the judge even had to interject and basically say stay in line. She was talking so fast that the Court Reporter had to say slow down happened often often, and there was theres a lot of objections that the president tapping his Defense Attorneys basically asking to object to what she was saying, and the judge sustaining them right after one another. She was even laughing at her own jokes and they were not landing with a juror. So there were just so much sort of ickiness and thats separate from the axis. So do laughed at her own jokes all the time and they land and the crew i understand that feeling, but im not inborn. Yeah. So anyway, she she of course told the story of how she met donald trump, how he was interested in the porn industry, the business behind it, not necessarily the salacious in this. There were some enduring parts in there and then also getting into the encounter that they had and then also how she basically met Michael Cohen and how they this whole deal happen, which is what prosecutors needed her to do. But when the defense got up there, man, they just went after her credibility, right. They basically were saying that shes lying at some points that shes told the story in all different ways that they questioned her motivations. Shoeing is shes baez shes doing this to make money. She hates trump what she admitted on the stand that youd actually like to see him in jail, which she admitted on the stand. Let me read you one excerpt from the defense backandforth the nickels the Defense Attorney saying my question was, youve been making money by claiming to have had sex with President Trump for more than a decade, right . And she answered, i have been making money by telling my story about what happened to me and she said in that story in essence, is that you say you had sex with President Trump, right . Yes. That story has made you a lot of money, right . It has also cost me a lot of money. So that was one of the exchanges where of course the defense is really trying to point out that i wont even saying youre extorting the president. And that came out also on the stand. So there was a lot there and then there was the request for a mistrial. Yeah. So this happened i feel like there was two we had almost mostly prosecution before lunch and then mostly a defense after lunch in the middle before they came back after lunch and jurors were in the room. Defense attorneys asked for a mistrial, essentially saying that you cant unring the bell with some of the stuff she was saying she was describing the present as a large man, almost insinuating in some ways that she wasnt this wasnt a consensual a counter. And the defense is saying, listen, this is a case about business records. Why are we even insinuating some of this sort of detail that shouldnt be in the courtroom. The judge basically said, listen, i dont think were at the point of a mistrial, but certainly there were things that were said that could have been left unsaid really, the judge said that, but he said, listen, i give you Permission Defense to go after it, so its going to continue. That is where they pick up. Yeah. Pick up with Cross Exemption use tomorrow. Yeah. All right. All right. Well done putting that together as i could never have summed it up myself. John. All right.

He didnt win a ring this morning, we have a new video of smoke over raffa in gaza after new strikes by israel, a us official says that Bind Administration has paused a shipment of certain bombs to israel over concerns that the bombs could be used in some kind of Raffa Incursion the vitamin is this ration is rushing to finish your report due to Congress Today on whether israel has violated International Humanitarian law in gaza. And the findings could further inflamed divisions joined now by scene as kylie atwood and natasha bertrand, Natasha First Two you on these delayed arms shipments, what are you learning yeah, john, this is a pretty significant political message that the Biden Administration is sending to israel, according to us official, last week, the Biden Administration decided to pause the transfer over 3,500 bombs to israel that had been pending shipment. And that is because they are still weighing whether or not to proceed with this shipment amid concerns over israel, Israeli Operations in raffa and how theyre going to carry out a potential Ground Incursion into that area where over a million Palestinian Civilians are still sheltering. Now, according to us official, the Biden Administration began a review of these kinds of Weapons Shipments to israel last month, as israel was weighing just how to proceed in raffa, because the administration is concerned that israel still does not have a plan for how to protect all of those civilians who are sheltering in that area korea and according to a us official, they still have not made a final determination on just how to proceed with that shipment, but a particular concern are those 2000 pound bombs that the us has been sending to israel over the last several months, and that israel has been using in other areas of gaza to really devastating effect because of how densely populated those areas in gaza are. And so the us now saying that theyre taking a beat, theyre going to wait and see how israel decides to proceed with an operation inside raffa, but its important to note here that the us has been sending, including as recently as last month, these very kinds of bombs to israel that israel has been using across whats the gaza strip. And so its going to be interesting to see just whether the administration continues to send these kinds of shipments if israel does give them some kind of commitment that theyre going to protect civilians, that their operations and raffa are in fact going to be limited but this is an important political message that the administration is sending really for the first time to israel using that leverage that the us has in terms of providing those really important Weapons Shipments. And Military Support to these really is that they have sought repeatedly since october 7th, john its asha bertrand of the pentagon. Thank you. Its asha standby for a moment, so kylie, tell us about this report. The administration has to repair or prepare, and submit today whats it about . Yeah, its an incredibly high stakes report, john, its due to Congress Today from the administration, though congressional sources have told us that the Administration Says it might be slightly delayed, so well see when it actually gets up there, but its looking at two main things. The first of which is if israel is youre using us weaponry in accordance with International Law if to get assurances from israel that they are using those weapons in accordance with International Law. Then the Secretary Of State has to make a determination as to if those assurances are credible and reliable. The other thing that the report is going to be looking at is if israel has impeded the assistance of humanitarian delivery into gods so of course thats a significant one because the us has consistently said that israel can be doing more on that front and it comes at a particularly sensitive intense moment. We have these protests happening across College Campuses here in the United States. You have these ongoing efforts to try and secure a ceasefire, and then you also youll have congressional pressure from the Biden Administration, own Party Democrats who want to make sure that this is a report thats legitimate report. Weve heard from senator van hollen, who has been one of the folks pushing for this report, saying that the us qantas take the assurances that israel has given them on face value. They have to make sure that theres evidenced they have to make sure theres explanations. And we also know in the backdrop here, of course, that israels watching this report incredibly closely because while it doesnt trigger a requirement for a change in policy, it definitely could lead to one john all right kylie, i would at the state department of torture, bertrand at the pentagon are thanks to both of you.

Cnns five things with kate bolduan Streaming Weekdays exclusively on macs so tiktok is now suing the Us Government, trying to block the new law thats forcing the platform to cut ties with its chinabased Parent Company or be banned in the United States. The Court Challenge it sets up whats shore to be a huge legal battle. Tiktok, arguing the law is unconstitutional, Us Government, those contended, its moves are rooted in the National Security concerns over the apps, ties to china. Cnns clear, duffy has much more on this cleric. Tell us more about what tiktoks lamy here in this lawsuit, right . Its a tiktok is claiming that this law violates the First Amendment rights of tiktok. Of its 170 million american users this law of course, does give take up the option to find a new owner to spin off from a chinese Parent Company, but tiktok says that thats not possible. And therefore, this is effectively just a ban. The company is saying that its not possible technically legally, or commercially, and sites. The fact that the chinese parent, the chinese government, rather has said that wouldnt allow tiktok to be sold with its recommendation algorithm, which is really the thing that makes the app so valuable. So stakes for tiktok are huge, tear it doesnt surprise me that theyve come out swinging because this is one of their biggest markets. Yeah. I mean, theres so much money at stake here which can always mean big lawsuits what is there any sense yet . I mean, this is just kind of coming out, but is there any sense yet of how strong of a case tiktok may have, legal experts have told us that tiktok could have a fairly strong case here that these First Amendment arguments are fairly compelling. Legal experts have also told us that the Us Government, in order to provide to prevail in this case, i should say is going to have to bring more evidence of these National Security concerns. We havent actually seen that much sort of specific evidence of what their worries are. And if theyre going to prevail over these constitutionality arguments, theyre going to have to show up with more specific evidence that theyre not National Security concern very interesting and much more to calm.

He didnt win a ring donald trump is of course, on trial, right here in new york. Now. But this may be the only trial he faces before the election. This is why the judge overseeing his classified documents trial postponed it indefinitely. The move this morning facing new criticism from former Trump White House layer ty cobb, who calls the judges delay, quote, a case of bias and in competence. Cnns evan perez is joining us now having this trial supposed to start in may now like this month what is judge saying about why she has postpone this indefinitely well, sarah, look, i mean, i think this May 20th Trial date weve all considered it to be written in visible a inke because we, none of us really believed that this trial was going to happen in may. And now the judge has officially conceded that that is not happening. Shes also scheduled a number of hearings that mean this these these pretrial proceedings at least could go well into july, which makes it virtually impossible at this point for us to really think of a trial happening before the november election, which is always Donald Trumps is goal, right . It, his goal was always to push this off, make sure that this didnt happen before the november before the november vote, the judge cited a number of matters. Motions, eight of them in all that she says need to be tackled before she can even consider setting a trial there. She also said a couple of of hearings for late june on things that frankly were looked look to us as as long shots. Right. There was an effort by trump to get records from inside the administration to try to prove that this was a malicious prosecution also a motion for consider whether jack smith was even legally appointed. These are all all motions that dont really normally have very good chances, but this judge, eileen canon has decided that she wants to hold hearings on those later in june. Sara i have a question for you. I mean, what is jack smith, if anything, saying about this . He has been pretty pointed about some of the decisions that judge has made in filing things before, right right. I think you might expect that the tensions that have been already long simmering in this case are going to just going to be exacerbated by this. Theres a lot of frustration on the part of the Justice Department that this case should not be moving along. So plotting li slow. Every time we go to a Court Hearing down down four peers, sara, we wonder whether this is the day were going to hear the judge said a new trial date, and then she doesnt do it. And one of the reasons why theres so much frustration is a lot of speculation has been that the government could ask for her to be removed, but the problem is, she doesnt have a lot of record for them to use against her. She doesnt make any rulings. She just kinda kicks the can down the road and thats again what donald trump wants out of this case. All right. And it has to be said that she was appointed by donald trump and you will probably see some kind of reaction coming up. Thank you so much, evan, for all that reporting. Kate, jonny is now a scene and legal commentator, former Trump White House leuser, jim shultz and cnn legal analyst or my, son. Its good to have you guys here in studio. Thank you so much. Lets start with what evan was just talking about. What do you think jim, of this move by the judge in florida. This case should have never been brought in florida. Jack smith made a huge error in bringing us in florida, should have brought it in dc there they are. They deal with the Classified Information Procedures Act issues all the time. There, youre going to have this judge is taking on every issue and you have spoliation issues made by the defense. Youre gonna theyre gonna try to bring as much classified information as possible to the table to say that they need it for the case. And when they need it for the case, then they have to fight over with the government. What is, what is so classified that it cant be used in the trial. And the judge has to do a Balancing Test on that. And you have a judge thats inexperienced in this kind of thing and hadnt been in dc where we have a Rocket Docket in dc. This case probably in trial today. Youre going to later explained spoliation to me what do you see this as a necessary or unnecessary delay in this calendar . Its a completely unnecessary delay when youre dealing the classified documents is sticky stuff. We do this all the time in the district of columbia, this Sepah Procedures that are slowing the judge down. She has a whole order full of sepah deadlines the courts in dc are very experienced in handling those i agree with jim jack smith should have never brought this case in florida. He had the option of bringing it in dc. There was a pending Supreme Court case that was holding him up that if you guessed wrong, the case could have been thrown out altogether. It was decided at just a few days after he filed, he should have waited. Its one of his biggest mistakes in his record of prosecuting trump. Theres no excuse for what this judge has done. I do think its a mix of incompetence and bias she was reversed twice phi be extremely conservative. 11th circuit for interfering with the investigation when it was getgo, getting going with very harsh words. But as evan said, theres not enough to remove her from the case here. This case is not going to trial in 2024 it makes the alvin bragg prosecution of trump all the more important because that may be the only criminal case we get against trump. This yes, it is. Okay. Okay. Lets talk about lets talk about the case in new york. You guys have been watching it very closely. Norm, youve been incurred. Stormy daniels is back on stand again tomorrow all after all that, she said during direct examination and the beginning of crossexamination, what jim, do you think prosecutors hope the jury left the de thinking about most and then what do you think the defense is thinking one, they want to think they want them to think that prosecutors went too far. Thats what living some of that thats what the defense thats what sense once thats what he was once. They want they want them the jury to come away with the prosecution went too far, then they wanted to come away with she had a vendetta against trump that came out in crossexamination. Youre going to see more of that come thursday, but those are the two things they want them to come away with. There is the prosecution did have a bait. Their argument is that this salacious testimony is important to show how important it was to cover this up by trump. They might have gone a little too far. There might be some appellate issues. Their norm. You were in court. We know that the judge complained at one point, the donald trump was Audibly Cursing, visibly, shaking his head. What did you sum up kind what you saw in court . Well before we got the transcript and we understood what that was about the judge when he came back from the break, said to todd, blanche, have you talked to your client . And i tweeted i was sitting there in that third row. I tweeted. That must have been trumping chastise. We could see trump getting more and more agitated with her testimony, particularly when stormy revealed some details which i agree with jim and the judge was unnecessary. Its not an appellate issue. Its not going to be a mistrial. You cure it on crossexamination and with a limiting instruction that the judge will give to the jury. Thats being negotiated now, well get that instruction when we go back tomorrow morning. But it was too much. Trump got agitated. You cant do that. The judge got he got a little upset with stormy in the prosecution at moments when they got into the salacious details, but he got far more upset with trump. And rightly so and trump did stop after he was chests let me ask about about there. There were lots of moments, but one moment ive heard a lot of people saying that it was really bad for the prosecution when stormy when Stormy Daniels when the defense got stormy, daniels to admit that she hated donald trump during Cross Examination with put the exchange up on the screen for everybody, because a lot of people are saying this shows very clearly that the Stormy Daniels has bias. Am i correct that you hate donald trump . Yes and you want him to go to jail, right . Im not going to read the whole thing, but it goes on and on about tweets that she would dance if you wanted to jail and it goes on and on non but essentially, it got her to admit which is people say is a big deal that she hated donald trump and she would like to see him in jail why is that surprising to people that Stormy Daniels doesnt like donald trump . I think thats maybe the least surprising thing. There shes not going to go up there and say she likes the man after everything that went down. Why is it a big deal . Its the same thing as saying that on the first part of the testimony that donald trump didnt want the affair with sterile Stormy Daniels to come out publicly, right . To come out to the general public. Its the same thing, but what theyre doing is as lawyers creating a record in the case. So like they made the prosecution made the record in the first half and the testimony that making records to the jury in here. What do you think what is she supposed to say, kate, i wrote that i hate him, but now i love them. Of course not. Right. The only thing ive been the Court Thousands of times. Ive been doing it for over 30 years. Do you only thing a jury will not forgive, the only thing is a witness who lies she has to be honest about that ive had cases where mobsters testify, hit men, testify, the jury, sometimes they you believe him, sometimes they disbelieve him. But if theyre honest particularly if you have a witness like stormy, really i thought showed her still in pushing back she came across as credible if thats if youre i was there. I thought on the whole, the jury reaction was i was watching the jury they were interested. We will not know until the verdict was i think she was credible. I thought she was a messy witness, a difficult witness, a complicated witness, but a believable witness. Agree. I think hes probably right. I wasnt in the courtroom, but i think hes probably right standby for more because shes back on the san tomorrow. Thanks, guys. Its great to see you, john all right. This morning, Marjorie Taylor greene appears to be cooling but not calling off for move to oust how speaker might johnson. Shes cell two meetings with johnson this week though, johnson insists this is not a negotiation seen as Lauren Fox In Washington with the latest. So where do things stand this morning . Lauren . Yeah. Johnson saying its not a negotiation, but look, Thomas Massey and Marjorie Taylor greene are asking for things they want a series of demands to be met, including they say a promise that all bills moving to the floor coming forward are going to only come to the floor if they have a majority doherty of the House Republican conferences support this is known as the socalled hasta rule in the house. Now, leadership argues that many of the bills that have come to the floor do have the majority of the majority support. They also are demanding that old 12 Appropriations Bills have republican support that they move them individually if you remember, last year though, john, this became a major lift in part because conservatives were the ones blocking the advancement of the series of bills that came to the floor. They are also asking for a defunding of jack smith Special Counsel cool. Office. That is something that they are asking for as part of those Appropriations Bills. And i mean, look, the reality is that Marjorie Taylor greene continues to dangle the threat of a motion to vacate against Speaker Johnson, but i talked to a number of republicans who said that they really dont think johnson should make any concessions, make any promises make any compromises with Thomas Massey and Marjorie Taylor greene because they argue that the goalpost could move in the future. They also say that it empowers just a small number of members, win the majority of the conference does not have the list of demands that marchal hello, green and Thomas Massey have. What this is really doing over the course of the last several days is just further revealing how divided the Republican Party is. And despite the fact that there are so many members in the conference who are united, who are standing behind my johnson, who really want this whole episode to go away. They also are arguing playing that. This is a moment where Speaker Johnson, they have his back, but they believe that Marjorie Taylor greene needs to move out. Now, Speaker Johnson for his part, is making the case that this isnt a negotiation here. He was having thoughtful conversations with those two members and others about how we continue to improve the processes and steam together and move in st. Harrison. Were going to process these ideas just like we do all ideas and all input freedom. This is not negotiated. Doing my job one of the part of the job is taken suggestions and thoughtful ideas from members. And thats what were doing i talked to majority leader steve scully yesterday a little bit about whether this was or wasnt a negotiation. He said, look, when you have such a narrow majority, every Single Member matters john. So this feedback, its a Feedback Loop more than negotiation. I get that, right. Lauren fox, thank you very much for that. Sarah. All right. Now, for a little good stuff because we certainly need it this morning one longtime resident of calhoun, missouri is giving back to his city and a major way 90 oneyearold sam sloan heard his local Volunteer Fire Department was in need of an upgrade, including one of its structs that just didnt run.

Martin sundays at nine on cnn . Wrecking overnight police in the Nations Capital have arrested dozens of people now as they cleared a propalestinian protests and camp min sayyed at George Washington university. There is a video there just before the Arrest Authority say at least one officer use pepper spray near the area this coming hours after President Biden denounced antisemitic rhetoric in hate against jews, while donald trump compare the protest on campus across the country to january 6, insisting quote, january 6 was nothing like this. Theyre ripping down all our schools that ripping down our institutions. Theyre protesting All Over The Place and very violently to their protesting All Over The Place. He said, this is a threat to democracy, joining me now seen and political commentator and former Democratic State representative for South Carolina but carries sellers and former trump Senior Advisor and 2016 campaign. Jason osborne. Gentlemen, thank you so much for being here. Makari first, i just want to get your reaction to what president former President Trump said. Making this comparison with january 6, were starting to hear this more and more and more. Well, i mean, its a Talking Point and you have that doing political season, aka silly season. I think the best thing you can say about it is that its asinine. I think that its intellectually dishonest, but those are two words that really go hand in hand with the former president when hes making these arguments. These protests that you see are no equivalent to trying to overturn an election. There no equivalent to storming the capital. There are no equivalent to trying too harm or United States members of congress or the senate, or threatened to hang them or running with confederate flags are stilling laptops or stealing lectern. I mean, this is just not that weve had protest in this country as long as this as long as this country has actually been in existence, and youre seeing that with young people today on College Campuses around the country. Now you can disagree with what theyre protesting for, but you have to understand that these protests are actually healthy for our country. We have seen Student Protests throughout time, really that has been part of the american way, jason, i just want to get your reaction. Is this just simply red meat for the base for donald trump . I mean, whats he trying to do here using this language . Yeah. Well, first off, i dont see the equivalents january 6, then in these protests, but yeah, it is. I think red meat the sense that when youre looking at some of these protests and some of the interviews, they dont even know what theyre protesting against for the most part, right. And so that i think becomes part of the trump message, which is these folks are just out there protesting for nothing other than to get attention. And then theyre now having to face consequences on it. And so i do think that trump is going to heighten it as it continues on. I think he hopes that quite frankly, i think he hopes these protests continue because then it gets him more attention on that as opposed to some of the trials and stuff but i do want to say i have talked to some of the students and they do know what theyre protesting they sometimes dont know the nuances though of what what has happened in the region and that has been an issue. I do want to get to what President Biden has said. He he made a speech about antisemitism as the world marc holocaust remembrance day. And heres a little of what he said. He i didnt touch that much on the campus protests, which has been a problem for him politically. Heres what he said but theres no place on any campus on america, any place in america for antisemitism or hate speech or threats of violence of any kind. Rather against jews or anyone else while its a tax, destroying property theres not peaceful protest. Its against the law and my commitment to the safety the jewish people, the security of israel, and its right to exist as an independent jewish state is ironclad even when we disagree just question for you, because how do you think biden has handled this . Because he is under enormous pressure from young people in particular who really do not like the way that he is handled, the way i actually think that i can be critical of the president on this particular issue. I think that the speech he gave yesterday was pitch perfect. I think you are seeing a rise of antisemitism in these places. I think its one thing to protest the fact that you have a reaction, a very visceral reaction to what youve viewed to be a disproportionate use of force and gaza, too many men, women, and children thats in lives being taken. Thats one thing, but also understanding that israel has a fundamental right to exist, that she has a right to protect herself that october 7 was one of the most grave despicable todays weve ever seen in this country. Well, in that countrys history. And so i think the president has a balance and what his goal is to have a cessation of fire thats goal thats his overarching goal. He understands that if he focuses on that goal and hes able to bring peace to the region while you can have for the discussions, if hes able to bring hostages back home and stop firing and bombing and gaza. Then the protest here would quell and that will be a political win. But it also be a win of just pure humanity. And so hes really focused on the goal and the hard part for us having this discussion is, i cant really tell you what the cia directors doing. I cant tell you what jake solomson doing. I cant tell you what tony blinken is doing i just know theyre working towards a goal, but its very difficult to understand what theyre doing in egypt, what theyre doing in khader. And that lack of, of a line of sight means that you have to have faith in this president understanding that he values the relationship with israel how difficult is this when you look at this and how are republicans exploiting this . Because the ceasefire is a problem, it is not happening yet, and theyre still discussing this. But talks have broken down once again yeah. And i know this is going to sound controversial and i dont mean its not necessarily what i believe in, but to your point about what the trump message should be on some of this is that i do think that biden is running the risk of sounding a little bit like trump did in charlottesville where theres people, good people on both sides. And i think youre probably going to see the trump folks start to push that a little bit more that message like you cant have it both ways here. Then you get to the issue of what is it that the israelis want and what is it that the trump and the base one . And of course they want the fighting to stop, but they also tend to see that hamas and some of these other folks are actually not wanting a cease fire. A true when they fire rockets in to israel and theyve got all these other allies that are coming in. It makes it very hard. I think for trumps base to actually come over to the biden mentality or messaging lets have a ceasefire and then all this endless suffering because you have netanyahu and all these other folks saying, if we stop, theyre going to continue doing what theyre doing and theyre not helping themselves and helping, quite frankly, the biden message. I mean, its a thin line. I think that he has to walk here. Can i just ask you guys one more thing . The New York Times, and this has nothing to do with well, it has to do with the president ial election has just come out with this extraordinary bizarre article on rfk and theyre reporting that doctors in a deposition that rfks had doctors found a worm in his brain that had eaten part of his brain and then died. There i mean, you laugh, but i mean what jason, what might this mean what might this mean to an election to hearing that he said that one of the things that i tell my clients all the time, its trying not to go into depth positions high. Thats usually what i would suggest and i would say that would be my my my words of wisdom i, you know, i have political issues with rfk, but this is just a little bit behind my Pellet Expertise i dont even know what to say his brain. Yeah. Which is mindblowing on so many levels i mean, everybodys talking about the cognitive capabilities of biden. The cognitive capabilities of the warrants get there. I just have a lot of questions. Right. I mean, thats one of those times where as a toms person, you kind of deflect and say, how about them, rangers black, announce, right . I dont even know had to, bring it out because it is just so mindblowing jason osborne, bucaram sellers. Thank you so much. Thanks for putting him on that one. How about them, rangers over to you, john . All right. This morning, eight republican members of Congress Want answers from the Defense Secretary lloyd austin. They are urging him to explain discrepancies between cnn reporting about the isis k attack during the evacuation of the Kabul Airport that attack led to the deaths of 13 Us Service Members and 170 others and the occlusions of the discrepancy was between the pentagon report or the cnn report, and they conclusions of two pentagon investigations and the center of that reporting new marine gopro camera video obtained by cnn, which revealed many more episodes of guns on fire than the pentagon has ever admitted this long burst is about 17 shots, bringing us a total of 20 were tallying shots fired and episodes of fire based on two forensic analyses on Screen Cannot see who is still firing here. And we never see marines or Anyone Firing in this video mother hey with us now seen in chief, interNational Security correspondent nick paton walsh, nic talk to us about what these us members of congress are after its warning yeah, im wanting answers from secretary defence lloyd austin as the discrepancies between the video you saw there that form part of our reporting a couple of weeks ago.
