fallout from the israeli airstrike that killed of afghanistan amid the us withdrawal? no time to prepare, no emergency plan in place and no safe place to go and a judge rejecting donald trump's last-ditch effort to delay his hush money trial an unprecedented moment, lins looms over the campaign trail all right, >> 6:00 a.m. here in washington and also in new york, the statue of liberty shining, bright this morning. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. and just hours because the white house says president biden will quote, express his frustrations to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the phone call will mark the first time that two liters have spoken since these seven world central kitchen aid workers were killed by an israeli airstrike in gaza a senior administration official says, biden is increasingly frustrated and angry, but the white house also emphasizing that there's been no shift in us policy supporting israel's military operation >> no consequences thus far for any types of behavior that the president has been outraged. we've had we're having conversations with the israeli government. we've been very clear about that. those conversations have been tough. we've been very public about those conversations on this particular instant. there will be an investigation, there's an investigation currently happening. the president has said he wants it to be swift. he wants it to be comprehensive and he wants to their to see accountability all right our panel is here, david from a staff writer for the atlantic cnn political commentator, former deputy chief of staff, brought under trump's sure michael singleton >> is here and cnn political commentator kate bedingfield. she of course is former communications director for the biden white house. good morning. all. >> kate, it maybe a little easier to be at this table today. then communicating at the white house oh question on this issue. a couple of things one, there's new reporting in the new york times that joe biden is pressing her husband to end the conflict in gaza you can see there they're headline here, and then this also stuck out to me. i woke up to this tweet, from late yesterday. this is from john fabra, who of course was speech writer in the obama white house >> he says the >> president doesn't get credit for being privately enraged while he's still refuses to use leverage to stop the idf from killing and starving innocent people. these stories only make him look weak. i can imagine that's being perceived terribly well among biden colleagues. it's a little bit of a shot across the bow. yeah. what do you see in this? >> well i mean, look, this is a protracted, incredibly difficult situation. i think it is complicated obviously the catastrophe with the wck aid workers, i think has further inflamed people's passions and anger understandably for president biden, i think he needs to continue to lean into showing personal outrage when you saw the statement that they put out yesterday, the language was a lot more intense, i think than biden as language has been around this in terms of his own personal outrage, he does need to continue to show it, but look, this is an incredibly complicated and challenging situation and adjusting american weapons assistance to israel has significant consequences throughout the region. i mean, israel is our ally and a signaling to those in the region who are not our allies, that it's open season is a dangerous thing. it's complicated. so no question tensions are high emotions are high. they should be what we witnessed, what we have been witnessing is horrific. it is complicated but i think for biden ultimately is he going to have to have to be some policy adjustment here? i suspect that there probably is, but i think that that has to happen in the larger context of what that is going to mean for the united states. what that's going to mean for the region and even though it's hard in the moment, i don't think that can happen purely as an emotional reaction even to an incredibly horrific thing like we saw earlier this week. >> yeah >> david from let me show you a little bit of what jose andres spoke to the media yesterday. he had had a phone call with biden on tuesday, and of course, he's talking very personal terms about these seven people who were killed. and one instance saying he wishes he hadn't even founded world central kitchen because if he hadn't, then this person that he cared so much about, what still be here today. i'm here. he was getting emotional in an interview yesterday >> but defending you people is, no killing everybody else around i've been in myself i meant and some of the people that die, we're well my friend and i said we'd me is the nicest thing you will ever. this was a good soul it's just really hard, hard to watch. and i think it's part of what has crystallized this as just potentially a major turning point. >> well, chef jose andres's a noble and compassionate man world central kitchen does amazing work and people are looking for charity to support that does work all over the world world. you can't do better than world central kitchen israel faces anatomy that uses ambulances to move terrace many of the people kidnapped on october 7 to have emerged have reported being transported in ambulances. israeli faces an enemy that has recruited international organizations is as allies in all but name at least a dozen un employees were actively involved often the october 7 attack, hundreds are complicit thousands of families in gaza that are terrorists, families that are have a paris's a breadwinner. are employed by the united nations >> israel >> faces a problem where how the enemy also has obligations to laws of war. it has obligations not to use hospitals as as headquarters, but it does, it has obligations not to use ambulances to move its troops or to move kidnap people. but it does. so in this very treacherous environment against this unscrupulous enemy people are trying to prevent friendly fire incidents to protect israel's own, trump's is always going to make mistakes from time to time. and this one it looks like an absolutely heroin one. it's really important for people as they consume the news fast to remember how many of the stories we've heard since october 7 have turned out to be very different from what you first hear. you hear that israel bombed hospital and that hundreds or down. well then it turns out it was a hamas rocket that fell on the hospital and not hundreds, but dozens or dead. you hear stories that the un denies any of its employees were working for hamas. well, maybe one or two. okay. maybe a dozen. maybe hundreds, maybe thousands of families. >> so >> this is a harrowing situation. it's a terrible war and the achieves nothing. and the only way out is for hamas to be defeated and to go away. and if hamas had never done this thing on october 7 and all the people palestinian, israeli, and the arrow workers for world central kitchen, they would all be sure michael, one aspect of this, of course, is the us's ability to influence benjamin netanyahu, who has honestly at played in us politics at somewhat argue he's waiting for potentially donald trump get re-elected >> what does >> the waning influence that the us has seems to have right now, i am going to hang this on david sanger who said said this yesterday on our show. that the us government seems to have less impact right now in terms of getting netanyahu to do what they want, then they did at the beginning of the conflict how does. that going to impact what happens next here? >> i think it's substantial as most americans want to continue to support israel. i think there should be substantial pressure on hamas to release the hostages were not here at enough of that from the administration, in my opinion working behind the scenes they were hearing and seeing reports about the present i'm been frustrated about the first lady been frustrated. i completely understand that. i think most americans want to preserve the life of innocent palestinians. we should want that, but we should also desire complete defeat of hamas, which wants to annihilation of the jewish state, which is why benjamin netanyahu is relentless and wanting to destroy them. i would love to see a president biden behind the scenes also showcasing frustration about that we're not seeing it. i have jewish friends, many of them in this country that have reached out to minimise it i'm afraid. i'm afraid of my kids on college campuses. i'm afraid when i'm going out in public, if someone may attack me because of my faith, i would love to see the president speak get out fort right about that as well, and he's not doing it. so in terms of the politics, if he can create a brief word on that, yeah, i don't i don't know. i don't know if that's fair. i think the president has been very direct about the rise of anti-semitism remember, this was actually a motivating reason for him to run in 2019 was what we saw in charlottesville and he speaks about the dangers of rising anti-semitism all the time he also, i think has been incredibly aggressive in trying to pursue an into this conflict that brings the hostages home, and that degrades hamas. i mean, that is in part why he's facing some of this political backlash because the either easier thing to do would be to say no, we're not going to keep doing the hard work behind closed doors. that's required in a situation like this we're going to put forward a strategy that's entirely intended to be public and that's would be easier from a press perspective, from a communications perspective but at the end of the day, that would not get to the ultimate outcome that the president wants. that. i think everybody wants to see hamas defeated, to see the hostages released and to put in place a post-conflict plan that provides some path forward in the region. what is so quick last one, what is the plan? there appears to be a capitulation from the president. we saw what happened in michigan. we saw with just recently happened and wisconsin i think is more concerned about the electoral packed in what's really going on. an app part of the world when you have people on the left who are publicly criticizing the president for not doing enough to distance himself from israel. i'm not sure that i'm not sure that was a part of that job and i don't president satellites posture into that left one space. i don't think he >> just say that we are in this moment where the president is saying one thing about his personal feelings. but he still has a policy that is supporting israel to the hill. that is something that is what progressives are focused on here. all right, up next, a judge blocks donald trump's hail mary already attempts to delay his hush money trial. >> what happens next?

his of those still in captivity. the whole story with anderson cooper sunday at eight on cnn >> all right. now two as cnn exclusive state department officials told the house committee investigating the end of the us war in afghanistan, that they came up with the withdrawal plans on the fly from scratch, cnn obtained hours of transcripts from closed-door test testimony that sheds new light on the unprecedented final days in afghanistan, joining us now, seeing in national security correspondent kylie atwood, kylie, good morning. some great reporting. walk us through what you learned. >> yeah. so what we learned is that these state department officials were thrust into the situation of the afghanistan withdrawal into very high roles on the round. in a dramatic way. this wasn't just dramatic on the ground. we all saw those afghan trying to get out those americans who are trying to get out, but also the officials themselves really didn't know some of them hours before they were leaving washington, dc, that they were heading into afghanistan to be part of this evacuation effort. they had incredibly important roles and they talk about the situation on the ground according to one of those state department officials, changing minute by minute, they also talk about the fact that they weren't really following any actual plan here. there was a neo that was created that's a non evacuation, noncombat and evacuation plan officials but that was created in april or may, but they said when they got on the ground there effectively wasn't one of those an operation. they were creating that plan on the fly by themselves trying to figure out how to get these americans and these afghans who had worked with the us for the last two decades out of the country while we saw that tom all that chaos around the actual kabul airport. >> yeah. i mean, david from you could argue that this debacle, let's call it what it was was a real turning point for the biden administration mean, what does this new reporting tell you? >> well >> the three major foreign policy decisions the biden administration, you see the same pattern appearing in afghanistan, in israel and in ukraine we're, they want two contradictory things and refuse to choose. so they want out of afghanistan and they want out of afghanistan fast, but they want to protect allies and friends and afghanistan and have an orderly withdrawal ukraine, they want to help ukraine survive, but they don't want ukraine to hit russia too hard. they don't want to expand the war in israel. they want to support israel again hamas, but they don't want to have bad things appear on television and they are so there this is an administration where the foreign policy is run by very, very smart people, often too smart for their own good because if less smart people would say, we can't have two things. what we have one thing will be hard enough don't we do one thing that's difficult enough to things that are contradictory, that's impossible >> very briefly. >> well i'm sorry, kate, with you on i'm not entirely agree with that assessment, but i do think it would be remember the situation in afghanistan was such the trump administration had entered into an agreement with the taliban. the timeline it was not the biden administration's to set here. they were working with constraints that had been laid out by the trump administration also on this question of a neo announcing a neo three months before you leave signals to the entirety of the world that you've no confidence in the afghan government. so it was, it was a picking in an egg situation that was challenging. we certainly didn't want to be in a situation like we wound up with people crashing the gates and crashing the planes. but you also can't three months ahead of departure signal to the world. we're rushing people out of the country because we have no faith that the government is going to stand when we go. so these were really complicated and difficult situations and i can tell you that the administration was very focused on trying to get people out safely, get them out quickly. it was a very challenging situation >> kylie, great reporting. thank you very much for being here this morning. i really appreciate it. >> come up next here, rocked by the earthquake. new video shows the danger drivers faced in taiwan. i mean, this is out of an action plus a new battleground state emerges in the presidential race nebraska, why donald trump and the gop are focused on the cornhuskers state it's better outside with the ninja outdoor families. cook outs are better with master grills that cyr in show like a propane grill, barbecue smoke, and air fry outdoors everyday activities or better with license coolers that keep ice for days. and have fridge temperature dollars for dry food. backyard nash's are better with pizza since they give you a krispy kreme 700 degree high heat roasting and barbecues no matter how you're spending your time outdoors, it's better outside with ninja. >> hey, also, i just don't want to the experience app because i wanted to check my fico score, but it does so much more. this thing shows you your fico score. you can get your credit card recommendations and it shows you good ways to save money, do so much more than get your fico score, download the experience app now, choice hotels is a family of brands with the hotel for any traveler you want to be. like number one shift dad, cook it up a free hot breakfast for the thaier family and a comfort hotel. >> mom made this. >> i added the garnish stay twice and get a free night when you book direct the future is not
