keep it here. good evening. tonight trumps conviction has sent the nation into uncharted territory. where does the madness go from here? and republicans and right wing mania are raging over the verdict bowing vengeance and political retribution. another state department official resigns in light of joe biden s gaza policy. stacy gilbert is joining us. let s do this. donald trump s guilty verdict on all 34 felony counts comes only five months and four days before the most divisive presidential election of our time. there is a jam-packed calendar in the final stretch to november. starting with a debate between trump and biden set for this month on the 27th. two weeks after that trump will be back in court for sentencing in the hush money case. the charge of falsifying business records, a felony, is punishable by up to four years in prison. but legal experts say there s no guarantee he will get prison time, given that this is his first criminal conviction and it is a non
good evening and welcome to the source. i m kaitlan collins. tonight, a clear and firm message from israel, no ceasefire in gaza. israeli prime minister netanyahu making clear that he is rejecting multiple international calls for one, calls that, i should note, have only grown louder as the civilian death toll in gaza has gotten bigger. netanyahu says that would amount to a surrender to hamas, instead arguing i m quoting him now this is a time for war. just as the united states would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of pearl harbor or after the terrorist attack of 9/11, israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities are hamas after the horrific attacks of october 7th. you heard netanyahu there mention the u.s. but, i should note, white house officials have ruled out supporting a ceasefire and they have not criticized israel s military actions. instead president biden has pressed for humanitarian pauses during his calls with the prime minister to allow
Philadelphia says, you know, some things about his program are like, but i m not voting for a convicted felon, the republicans may have settled themselves with an anvil. i cannot bring myself to believe that the majority of americans will vote for a convicted felon who is promising dictatorship and anarchy. good to see you twice in one day. he s been on tv a lot today. i will be with you under any circumstances. still to come i will speak with the latest state department staffer to resign over the president s handling of the war in gaza.

Other, little rocket man and dotard. today we re back from the brink. there s not that rhetoric being thrown around and that s a positive thing. is there something to be said about the approach president trump took to bring us to this place? no other president has taken this approach. then we have him sitting down in singapore with kim jong-un. something to be said about the approach he took with the leader of north korea. if it works, i feel bad for state department staffer working for 30 years on international diplomacy and rules of engagement with foreign leaders because it doesn t seem like that matters any more. the way the meeting was pulled off, again, not clear how substantial the agreement is, but it wasn t done with the state department, waesn t done with normal avenues. i think a lot of u.s. allies
