Thank, you abby. That is it for me here on cnn prime time. Cnn tonight with laura coates starts right now. Great discussion, abby, as always. Good evening everyone, im laura, coates and welcome to cnn tonight. The man hunt is continuing. We are about to, weeks yes two weeks in and continuing to heat up even tonight. That is a prisoner now armed even more dangerous, so what is happening, tonight we have a live report with all the up to the minute development coming up. But i want to begin with Kevin Mccarthy, or should i say speaker mccarthy. Unilaterally ordering an Impeachment Inquiry into president joe biden. Even as republicans have yet to actually prove any allegation that he directly profited from his sons foreign Business Deals. It comes as the speaker is under enormous pressure from farright members of his own party, threatening to kick him out of the speakership if he does not move fast enough. These are allegations of abuse and power, obstruction, and corruption. They warrant further investigation by the house of representatives. That is why today, i am directing our House Committee to open a formal Impeachment Inquiry into president joe biden. This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all of the facts and answers for the american public. So first of, all i will the inquiry, period full stop. You can pronounce it however you would, like sir. You did not think mccarthys gavel was actually, safe did you . You couldnt have forgotten we were all up to the Crack Of Dawn watching him try to win the speakers gavel. After 15 rounds of course, he made it, and here we are everyone. We are nine months later, and it seems it is maybe time to pay the so how is it payback in the form of an impeachment . The question is, for what . I have not actually heard the exact reason, or the high misdemeanor that would be required there. Mccarthy says, they can open an Impeachment Inquiry anyway. We would have to move to an Impeachment Inquiry, which you know is the apex of power to congress when it comes to our Subpoena Power and others to get the documents we need. The bank statements, the credit card, statements and others. Show us where the money went. Show us, where are you taking money from outside sources . It took everything i had not to say show me the money. And just now, the question is of course, why . Why do you want an inquiry . To get information to see if you should ultimately consider impeachment . What kind of information are we talking about here . Lets not try to guess. It is the biden financial records. To me, it is more like a subpoena of sorts, isnt it . The real question everyone is asking of course, can you actually use the Impeachment Inquiry process as a vehicle to get that information . Is that the only way to get what you are trying to get . Lets ask the former republican congressman joe walsh. Joe is also the host of white flag, the podcast. Also Associate Counsel and cnn legal analyst and House Judiciary special counsel and trumps first Impeachment Trial of course norm eisen is here. Look, first of all, again, we are all old enough to remember, and young enough to remember a high crime freeze of the day for two impeachment and as many years. Now it is about the inquiry trying to get information alone. A lot of people think, isnt that what is the pinot is for . Another publicans will say we have tried a lot of ways to get, this and we are going this route, but can you use the impeachment process, norm, to do this . Number one, you cant unlock those special Impeachment Superpowers by Kevin Mccarthy having a Press Conference and declaring. That is like Donald Trumps magical Declassification Authority just by thinking it. Just by saying it, Kevin Mccarthy does not get that. It is black letter law that you have to have joe knows this from his time in the house. And, knows it from working in the trump white house. You have to have that vote. We in the impeachment i worked on or forced to do that. Number two, the problem is that they have, looked and it has gone on for, years we looked when were doing the impeachment hunter biden Business Dealings with ukraine. Theres absolutely no evidence after all of that looking of any so there is no legal basis, and there is no factual basis. I served with mccarthy. Listening to him, speak he does not believe a word he says. You dont think so . Not a word. He does not want to do this. He does not want to go down this road. They signal this when they got control of the house. They said these two years would be nothing but retribution for how they believe donald trump was treated. So we knew this was coming. Mccarthy has no choice. I know, laura, we go after hour Marjorie Taylor greene, the handful of crazies, it is bigger than that. The Republican Party base is demanding this impeachment. I dont think it is necessarily for the wrong reasons. I dont think that republicans have a desire for every single, year every single month, every single week for there to be an impeachment. I can tell, you republicans do not want to president kamala harris. But, i think there is this fear that if only democrats unlock the Impeachment Power for a way that we think was unwarranted, and there is never any response, republicans continue to say there should be a higher bar, they should be a higher bar. What you will always get is one side ringing the, impeachment never the other. So in order to end the madness, stop, raise the bar for everyone, there has to be recognition. You get the, mud we will get in the mud. Once we have the recognition, if you, do it we do, it then maybe, maybe the bar can be raised for everybody. I have to, say there is a lot of mud. The i will say, if it really is just purely thefortat, i want to focus on what was interesting about, it not just the idea of, whether an impeachment is retaliatory or, promise we knew that was going to happen. Frankly, democrats were concerned that if you have impeachment backtoback, you dilute a little bit of the power of that shock value of what is happening. But, using the inquiry for the purpose of getting information, is the issue to me. If there is warranted or not reasons, is this the only way you can get the info . He shot himself in the foot in court, because what is going to happen, now he wants to signal, he was by then family, records he wants personal bank, statements credit guards they, 20 want other documents. Maybe accounting, documents tax returns. There is going to be a fight over. That you are going to go to court, and this is where i disagree with my friend. We are both part of that wonderful family of white House Counsel graduates, but i have to disagree. Is there a reunion, or no . I actually agree with norm on his legal point. I think that if i am a republican seeking information, i have a, choice i can either say Impeachment Inquiry gave me the power, or i can say legislative purpose. Im trying to find out whether there is d. J. That is a valid legislative, purpose and you have a strong case for a subpoena in court. If you state majesty peter power with other vote, it is the trump doj that said no, you need, as i think this entire panel, agrees in order to unlock some sort of special power, you need the vote. Trump, you guys got, it the office of Legal Counsel, we are not a lawyer. s office of Legal Counsel if the counsels office, think, are they got this memo, that delineates this boundary. But mccarthy basically saying, i am doing the impeachment in order to get the records, instead of saying this is where i disagree, in the first impeachment you had donald trump shaking down the president of ukraine with hundreds of millions of dollars dangling, if you attacks opponent, you cannot compare that to zero evidence of biden wrongdoing. The second trump impeachment was the january six issues, where donald trump is now being criminally prosecuted, federally and state. So this is not afortat. You know who is doingfortat . Donald trump. He has tweeted, you guys need to impeach, because they are coming after me. You know what, you are saying no evidence. Part of what is the evidence seems to be out there. I spoke to my colleague abby philip, really listen to what he had to say about the nature of communications between hunter biden and respected Business Clients et cetera. That proximity to power. Who is calling into the meetings, are you actually tell your viewers that you dont believe joe biden was involved in hunter biden s it is not about what i believe, it is about whether there is evidence that President Biden is linked to the misdeeds that might be linked to hunter biden. That is the issue. I want to get back that is torture. Common, can you just acknowledge that no. When he calls into the dinners. You dont think that is involvement . So the issue here, think about the involvement of, it it sounds like congressman matt gaetz, i would not speak for him, he can articulate for himself. It sounds like his issue fundamentally is, i want to get information. The Impeachment Inquiry is a way to do so. Are you buying that . No. Because, they are starting with impeachment. And working backwards . Then lets go find the evidence. We have to impeach joe biden, now give me a minute, laura, we will go look for the evidence. They have an overly backwards. This is based, i believe, on a promise that the base is demanding, because of how trump was treated, and it, is it is nofortat, whether trump did was there. It happened, then you impeach. My thoughts always with president trumps, is he an evil genius trying to do ukraine policy in this very sneaky way, or is he just like rambling about. For me, it is always rambling about. That is trump. If we are talking about joe biden and im ready. Im ready. [laughter] with the joe biden situation, i know the statement is there is no evidence, maybe what people are looking for is an actual bank statement, like joe biden deposited and said for bribery. You will never, i dont think you will ever get that. So what you are going to have a lot of circumstantial evidence which is, evidence and where you do have 20 million coming to the biden family for what. Why is hunter biden getting paid why was joe biden calling into these things. Maybe that is evidence linked, but it is not nothing. Where you get the evidence, you know where you get that evidence . With Donald Trumps unconstitutional payments from foreign governments, millions of dollars in monuments that poured into, him Jared Kushner still is collecting, he is doing Business Deals with the saudi. I talked to matt gaetz all the time when he was council, and he was a member of the House Judiciary committee. So, the naked hypocrisy here, is when after years of, looking when did we do the ukraine impeachment, 2019, 2023, and a single penny heritage or bidens bank account, and it is the base, saying it is revenge. You know what it is, it is time for a break. I mean, i do have some popcorn in the green, room pop that for me when we are right back. Joe walsh, thank, you thank you so much. And for everyone knew tonight, Fulton County d. A. Fani willis has made another push to hold one trial next month, for all 19 defendants in the Georgia Election subversion case. And the judge in the case is still weighing a proposal, an expecting a decision in the coming days, the last time he did at that very day. With the same hold true here . He has already expressed heavy skepticism over holding one joint trial, and i repeat, next month and october. Up next, he is armed, and he is dangerous, and he is on the run, everyone. We will go live to pennsylvania for the latest on the manhunt for that escaped murder. G to somewhere, anywhere.

Only on prime. upbeat music constant contacts advanced automation lets you send the right message at the right time, every time. constant contact. Helping the small stand tall. Ive always had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep you know, insomnia. But then i found quviviq, an fdaapproved medication for adults with insomnia. And im glad i found it. You wouldnt believe some of the things people suggested to help me sleep. Nature sounds . Ahh, no thanks. My friends whitenoise idea. Nope. And im not counting sheep. Not on the. Carpet. Insomnia can impact both my days and my nights. So i know how important a good nights sleep is. Thats why i take quviviq nightly. Maybe i should tell them how it works, taye . Quviviq works differently than medications you may have taken in the past. Its thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia overactive wake signals. And when taken every night, studies showed sleep continued to improve over time. Do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. Dont drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. Quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. Quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. Quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you dont remember the next day, like walking, driving and making or eating food. Worsening depression, including suicidal thoughts, may occur. Most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness. Its quviviq. Ask your doctor if its right for you. Little did i know, when we first heard about a prison break in pennsylvania, nearly two weeks later he would still be on the run. A man who we already knew was extremely dangerous is now armed and dangerous. The question is not just where is he, im also asking, how in the world we got here . For example, why wasnt undocumented Brazilian National wanted for murder in brazil still here . Why was he still at that facility instead of being transferred maybe to a state prison to serve his Life Sentence . We all thought a crowd, block remember that parkour moment that wasnt even tested, seeing us that he knew exactly what he was, doing i see that i know a tower guard was, fired but was he the only and last line of defense at this facility . And it is now known prone to escapes, and protecting the victims family. I know this woman, she was killed in front of her own two little children. Now actually try to find, out how many prison escapes they have been in this year nationwide, but there is no centralized database. A source that information. So, no real way of knowing how many times this has happened throughout the country, unless maim you get a reverse 911 call in your area. Is there a Staffing Issue . Should we solve that problem . Can we solve that problem . I mean they absolutely have to find this man. But then, they have to find out the answers to the rest of the questions. I want to bring in brian todd, he is live for us right now in pennsylvania tonight. Ryan, he is now armed, and dangerous. There are new developments tonight as well. What is going on . Well, laura, i can tell you that if he is on the move right now, then this is usually the time of night when he is on the move. He is carrying a 22 caliber rifle with a scope and flashlight on it. And, that gives him possibly an advantage. He could set up an ambush, these teams behind me are combing through this area of the Search Perimeter behind me. He could be not far away from, here trying to find his next target. This entire sequence of him getting this rifle has changed at the game in this manner. It began this new sequence began at about eight pm eastern time last night, when a motorist drove past on a road not far from here, saw him crouching by the side of the road as she drove past. She doubled back to try and get another look at, him he had vanished. About two hours, later ten pm eastern, time police got a call about shots fired. He had gone to a garage, wilted in, picked up the, rifle and a box of i munition. The owner was right, there fired several shots at, him but did not get him. He was not injured, he got away. That sequence, laura, has really changed the game here. It has intensified this man hunt. We have now got upwards of around 500 Law Enforcement officers on the ground, again, combing this area right behind, me that is more long officers than we have ever had during this man hunt. And again, it is intensifying. The first 911 calls have gone out, residents are being told stay, in lock your doors, be mindful, just please be eventual and keep an eye out. Do not approach this man. He is extremely dangerous. He could be on the move at this hour again. Ryan, todd so important. And, the box of ammunition, just adds that much more of a layer of concern to what is happening now. Thank you so much. I want to turn now to j. J. Cleaver. He is a former fbi supervisor and Special Agent who worked in the bureau of philadelphia office. He actually is an expert on this area where the manhunt is underway. J. J. , first of all, the game has changed now. A 22 caliber rifles scope, a flashlight, that is very significant. If you are talking about dark areas, dense, not being able to see, him now he can see those looking for him. Yes, absolutely. I mean, he has always been, dangerous and he is convicted of, murder now he
