A quick fact check. There will turn it over to the lead with jake tapper. Thanks so much for joining us. My pleasure. Have a great Weekend Tapper and you just heard former president Donald Trump making remarks in evans, georgia after listening to a briefing on damage caused by Hurricane Helene lets go to cnns Steve Contorno. Hes in fayetteville, North Carolina where trump is going to hedge sue later tonight for a Town Hall and save what do you make of what we just heard from Trump And George little time politicizing this tragedy even further than he already has, and he criticized eyes the White House for what he said was a terrible response. And he said that well, he went on to boast about his own performance during previous hurricanes when he was president , he said, he reminded people that there is an election coming in this, in the state where its obviously very, very close and that he promised that if he is elected, he is very committed to this state. That was his direct quote. He also at one point said, im not thinking about voters. Im thinking about lives, but obviously he was also plugging what he would do as president if he were elected. So notable as well that Brian Kemp the governor of the state, spoke right before Donald Trump. And he did not mention any issues that he has had with the biden administration or female response and that has been sort of a Thread Line through Donald Trumps criticism of the biden administration response, the harrisbiden administration, as he puts it that many local officials, many State Officials ive said so far that the response has been adequate, that they have received what they have asked for, that the Emergency Declarations were made early then advance of the storm, and that they have had a open line of communication with the biden administration, but Donald Trump appearing in a Swing State that has been affected by this Storm But Mess proportions making it known that he believes that the Harris And Biden team has done a terrible job. Again, terrible was the word he used jake. Alright, Steve Contorno in fayetteville, North Carolina. Thanks to you. In the politics lead a surprise at the White House earlier today, President Biden, stunning reporters this afternoon showing up unannounced at a White House press briefing. This is the very first time hes ever taken this podium in his presidency. Mr. Biden touting todays Jobs ReportState Of, the economy. He then took questions on a slew of topics including the election, which is now just over four weeks away, two days have gotten im confident be free and fair i dont know whether itll be peaceful things that trump has said, and the things that he said last Time Out when he didnt like the outcome of the election were very dangerous if you notice, i i noticed that as Vice President s or republican candidate did not say hed accept the outcome of the election have you been accepted outcome of the last election . So i am concerned about what theyre going to do correspondent Kayla Tausche joins us now, kayla, what have you learned about what led to this Surprise Appearance . I guess there was a critical piece that appeared according axios or earlier today talking about how absent President Biden and mrs. Biden have been from the public stage, was that part of what happened . Well, certainly that had to have been taken into Custody Consideration when his Press Team was looking at the Days News and how theyre planning to respond to some of these questions and certainly putting the president out there himself would have seemed to have knocked down any questions that they would have gotten about his schedule and his whereabouts for the day because he had no public events on his schedule today, but theres also the rare double header of good News Today and no president ever wants to be the face of Bad News which President Biden often has been in his term, whether its inflation in the cost of living or more recently the conflicts in ukraine and the war simmering in the Middle East. But today the president had a very surprisingly strong Jobs Number to talk about, as well as a temporary pause in dock Workers Strike for 90 days as dockworkers will go back to work up, halting any Supply Chain snarls and advance of the election as they work out a deal that will work for both parties. But President Biden was also asked about those Jobs Numbers which were exceedingly positive compared to so what economists had expected and bristled when asked about a suggestion by Florida Senator Marco Rubio that the job the Jobs Numbers have been doctored. Heres how biden responded republicans dont like, they call fake numbers are are real issues here but he also took several questions on the Middle East where he said that he doesnt believe that the israelis have decided how and when to respond to the iran Missile Strike from earlier this week, he said he expects to talk to israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when that conclusion is drawn, he suggested that there been no better friend to israel than his administration and that as hes thinking about it, even though he seemed to leave the door open to the israelis striking Irans Oil deserves. He said that if he were them, he would look at different alternatives. But also issuing that warning, jake, that you mentioned in the introduction to President Trump about the peaceful transfer of power. Often when, when members of the Administration Field questions about the election from that podium, they deflect to incite the Hatch Act and are unwilling to engage in those lines of questioning. But clearly, President Biden is still worried that history will repeat itself, which was one of the major themes when he was the candidate at the top of the ticket. All right. Kayla tausche. Thanks so much. Lets get into this with the panel one of the most interesting things about this Appearance Today is i heard from the anchor, one of the anchors before me, boris sanchez, who says that they were about to go to michigan, where Vice PresidentHarris Harris was going to speak five trying to shore up support among Union Members, talking about how the Longshoremen Strike has been avoided and all the rest lots of work to be done with Working Class Voters in michigan for Vice President harris but instead of cutting away to Vice President harris, talking to voters in michigan, they instead cut to the white House Briefing between room to cover President Biden speaking i mean, are they not even communicating yeah. I mean, to me, it indicates that there wasnt a lot of Coordination Today on biden. Probably making an 11th Hour Decision to go into the press briefing, which was pretty unprecedented as youve noted . And it didnt matter, not among President S of all yeah. But i mean, i dont think anyone was anticipating it even President Biden, quite frankly, when he woke up this morning, it seems that when that decision was made perhaps on a dime either they didnt think to notify the Vice President or maybe those lines of Communication Werent as open to get that message to her quickly. And it seems like she just went ahead with her Campaign Stop as scheduled, perhaps if there was more coordination, she might have held back for 15 or 20 more minutes. So that they didnt overlap. So again, it just looks like they werent talking on today. Dont want to read too much into it, but at least today. I dont think its that deep on things that i really dont think its that deep because as we all know, those events, were starting were not starting its five minutes. Its two minutes. Its ten minutes and the president just decided, im going to go into the briefing room. Ive got good news to talk about and im going to talk and i think they probably recognized that we were going to cover her speech will cover it probably the one this Evening Thatll probably be pretty similar. So i dont think it was that deep and i think it was personally it was Nice To look up and see President Biden and him talking about a positive Jobs Report and again, seeing the economy moving in the right direction. That is good news and that is good. Knew she could have also talked about in that speech. I mean, theyre pretty insular. Its no secret. The Biden Team is in pretty and so the been insular for a while now and they can also move quickly when they want to. We saw this with the hur report, right . He hasnt been out talking to the press for for months. All of a sudden than three hours, the hur report, hes in the Oval Office taking questions. Right. And i also think this was a way of proverbial proof of political life, a little baffling. The Alex Thompson Report 43 days out of the last 75 . No public events coming on the heels of spending a lot of time in rehoboth when these storms are happening and the optics of that along with also coming back to the White House last night saying what Storm Zone and saying everybodys very happy there. So he needed to kind of get out on its front foot a little bit. I think this is what you saw there. So bidens big headline is that he said he was confident the election will be free and fair, but he didnt know if it would be peaceful. Obviously, he has reason to wonder if it will be peaceful given what happened on January 6 and the fact that trump is continuing to cast doubt about that election. And this election but pretty still a pretty striking thing. Yeah. And i think hes articulating a what has been a main message from when he was running for reelection and a main message of his throughout the year that you just Cant Trust that Trump Wont Attempt to overturn the election. And quite frankly, things that trump continues to stay cast. You dont lead biden to say it. You can hear trump in his own Words Integrity of our elections. Everyone stick around. We got a lot more to talk about and were going to have more from biden in the briefing room. What he said about israels pending retaliation on iran also ahead the uphill battle for Vice President harris, as she makes a play from michigan, were to go inside the numbers and talk to a longtime democratic strategist, James Carville. But whats at stake in that state plus the highprofile help, shell be getting soon on the Campaign Trail from former president Barak Obama, stay with us winning is everythings stupid.
