Criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. A senior Law Enforcement official tells me former President Donald Trump is expected to turn himself in at the end of next week. Trumps surrender and arraignment are likely to look different from those in his previous three criminal cases. The Fulton County sheriff has suggested he wants to treat trump and the others similar to any other defendant. That could mean they would have mugshots taken and be fingerprinted. All of this will happen just a day or two after the first republican debate. We have a lot more to come on all that. Plus, we have a brandnew up date from the National Hurricane center on hurricane hillary. The storm could dump over a years worth of rain on the southwest, including the los angeles area. Stay tuned for that. Gentlemen, thanks for staying up late. Let me start with you, john. Trump is set to surrender for the fourth time late next week.

the best way to show you can beat donald trump is be good in this debate in this context. talking about how you re going to do it doesn t do much. it s actually performing in the moment. in some ways, that s what will be interesting as the primary process plays out. people have images of ele electabili electability. this is the biggest test so far. you will see is that person charismatic, does that person have a compelling message, am i drawn to that person. that s going to be the thing that speaks volumes about the ability rather than any message about beating trump. there is also the inescapable brack drop going into tonight, the news we ve been covering all along. we re going to fit in ra first break. when we come back, a democratic member of congress, specifically, a member of the house intel committee to talk about all of thats a our live run-up to our live debate tonight continues. here are even more reasons to join t-mobile. 1. do you like netflix? sure you do. that s why it s o
