. look, i have no intention of meeting with him, but if he came to me at the g20 and said i want to talk about the release of griner, i would meet with him, probably. it depends. he s acted brutally, he s committed war crimes. i don t see any rational to meet with him. good morning to viewers in the u.s. and around the world. i m brianna keilar here with john berman. president biden is also sending the russian leader a chilling warning. follow through with your threat to use a tactical nuclear weapon against ukraine and it could end in armageddon. biden said that putin totally miscalculated by invading ukraine but he believes the russian president is a rational actor. jake tapper asked president biden what a u.s. response might look like if putin deploys a nuclear arsenal. there have been discussions on that, but i m not going to get into that. it would be irresponsible for me to talk about what we would or wouldn t do. have you asked the pentagon to game it out just
Covered. this is a part of the state of florida that normally doesn t see storms that are just this powerful. earlier this morning, whether i was in perry, the story then was the wind speed. other parts of florida as we have seen you have seen the dramatic pictures of the flooding. that s mostly the catastrophic storm surge that we keep hearing about. in perry where i was, there was no storm surge because it was 20 miles inland. the winds were the story there. this part of florida, keaton beach, not only did they get the massive winds, they also got storm surge. we are waiting to learn how much damage there was here at the point of impact, the point of landfall here in florida s big bend region. this is different from so many other storms because, yes, the small bit of good news, this isn t as much of a populated area as perhaps some other parts of the state. but still, if you live here, this is devastating all the same. first responders are going door
Stretches about 6,000 miles long. that s kind of the point of impact, that s the trail. check out this other image that nasa released yesterday at the briefing. this was taken by the small satellite that was trailing, spying on the dart spacecraft and that s the moment of impact. it s interesting that what nasa wants to study are the plumes of dust that come out from the moment of impact. what s next? that s the big question here. what nasa has done is proven this type of technology could work if there were ever a big earth killing asteroid potentially headed our way. this was not. the key is you have to detect it years in advance. far in advance so you can send a spacecraft like dart, hit it and push it 4% off its current orbit so that ultimately you can move its trajectory by a larger margin and hopefully save the planet, all of us.
About the democrats accomplishments, this can help them try to minimize their losses in november. thank you so much. mj lee live in the white house. and ahead jake tapper is going to join us with more on his exclusive sitdown interview with joe biden. and a new cnn poll shows that president biden s approval ratings rebounding. the president is going to hit the road and he s going to do so as you note with a slight improvement in his overall approval rating. he s in our brand new poll at 44% approval. we say it s a slight improvement. this is not where a president wants to be a few weeks out for a midterm. 56% disapprove. but look at the growth since june, july, that was his low point he was at 38% approval.
Trump s side wants the special master to review the documents also to determine the aspect of privilege. which i don t think is a good issue for the supreme court to get involved with in that state. i think the trump side is looking for some indication from the supreme court about what they might do overall with this issue. i don t know that it s ripe at this point. i think the doj makes a good point in their filing that the injunction issued by the 11th circuit shouldn t be overturned by the supreme court. this has nothing to do with an issue that can be adjudicated at this time. maybe in the future but perhaps not at the moment. that s interesting. you think in a way the trump team is putting out feelers to figure out how the supreme court looks at this larger issue to figure out maybe going forward where they can get in. absolutely. i think we would be short sided to figure it would be a done deal. saying he has no claim in these
