Resource tonight and angry president biden responds to donald trump accusing him of lying about the government's response to hurricane helene. Politics colliding with a natural disaster. As officials are still searching for survivors tonight. Meanwhile, israel has just launched a ground offensive into lebanon where airstrikes are lighting up the skies from beirut to damascus, or sit in teams are live in the middle east and as trump is calling for the police to get violent and calling his opponent. And i'm quoting him now, mentally disabled holds a big name republican will join me as he is endorsing vice president harris. I'm kaitlan collins, and this is the source tonight one of the deadliest storms and are nascent nation's history is colliding with the closest election in modern history. But we cannot let that a clubs what is happening tonight inside these states, inside north carolina and georgia is a hundreds of people who are still missing or unaccounted for this evening. The death toll has now risen to 128 people across six different states. And the aftermath of hurricane helene, the devastation seems almost endless. Entire neighborhoods have been wiped off the map. Millions of people still don't have any power they're also struggling to get food or even water tonight none of that stopped donald trump from going into the storm zone today in hard hit valdosta, georgia, where he made this promise countries in the final weeks of a hardfought national election. But in a time like this, when a crisis hits, when our fellow citizens cry out in need, none of that matters. We're not talking about politics now we ultimately did end up talking about politics when donald trump made this claim, which i should note was quickly proven false by georgia's republican governor the governor's doing a very good job. He's having a hard time getting the president on the phone, i guess they're not they're not being responsive. The federal government is not being responsive the president just called me yesterday afternoon. I missed him in called him right back and he just said, hey, what do you need? and i told him, we we got what we need as he was on the way to georgia trump also baselessly accused the federal government of avoiding helping people and republican areas. And accusation that when president biden was asked about it clearly incense tim he's lying i'm a governor, told him he was lying the governor told me his line. I spoken to the governor, spent time with him and he told me his line, i don't know why he does it and the, reason i get so angry about i don't care about what he says about me. By a cure when he communicates, in people that are in me implies that we're not doing everything possible. We are simply not true is irresponsible trump also criticized vice president harris for being out on the west coast campaigning over the weekend. Despite how i should note, he also was holding rallies in wisconsin and pennsylvania. Harris ultimately cut that trip short and return to washington earlier today and went to a briefing at the fema headquarters the ground as soon as possible, but as soon as possible without disrupting any emergency response operations because that must be the highest priority in the firstorder of business to everyone who has been impacted by this storm. President biden and i, and all of the folks behind me are with you we will continue to do everything we can to help you recover and to help you rebuild. No matter how long it takes i want to get right to the latest on the recovery that's happening in asheville, north carolina tonight, mayor esther manheimer joins me now and mayor, thank you for taking the time to join us. I know it's been a long few days for you and for your community, just as of tonight, can you tell us how desperate is your situation and what are your biggest needs right now are still in crisis mode here in our community. We are still looking for survivors and confirming others have made it through the storm. We have folks that are in areas where the roads have washed out and the purchase of washed out. So getting confirmation about people whether or not there i made it through the storm or not is challenging is some of those remote parts and on top of that, we have a lack of cell service, so post scant get on their phone and just call loved one and say, let everyone down, okay. We're not able to do that but we've seen an incredible system across our city and our county funny of making sure everyone is accounted for that, but that's taking some time as you as you've said, there's still several hundred people that we need to make sure our okay. And that process hasn't finished yet. You still have several hundred people that are that are unaccounted for as of this hour as of this afternoon, i think it was around 600. That number may have changed at this point, but it was of folks that we need to be able to be able to reach that. That is the priority, but we also are in a situation where we don't have water and power in most areas and we do need resources like drinking water and food and other household supplies and a personal supplies that people might need if their children formula diapers, you know, all those sorts of things that you need just on a daytoday level to get through. I mean, to hear you say that some 600 people are still unaccounted for the people you can find are having trouble getting water and food that i'm cell service the new york times put out a story earlier that just north of where you are in marshall, north carolina, a 75yearold man was forced to cling to a tree for hours because his house was destroyed by the flooding and his loved ones were looking on and eventually he couldn't hold on any longer and they couldn't they couldn't save him. And i just i just can't even imagine what it's like to be in your position in this moment right now city never seen the rivers as high as they were in this vote. There's no historic record that shows that they've ever been this high the flooding. We're seeing is catastrophic and our first responders have been doing an incredible job. The number of swiftwater rescues they've had to do is unprecedented i can't the pictures don't do it. Justice and that's why when the president called me today he's going to be here on wednesday flying over the community so he can see the magnitude of the damage to our city. We can't let them fly in because the only highway into asheville of the four highways into asheville, that's open is the one near for airport and we can't shut it down for a motorcade. So more glad that he's going to be able to be here and see the community from the air, see the devastation we're going to need. We're going to need federal help to rebuild and head right now. We have federal help on an emergency basis, spring and resources as well as the they are governor was here today. It's all hands on deck. Everyone is helping and our community is rallying with volunteers to help distribute the things that our community needs so president biden will be there on wednesday, but as you noted, that's important there, that you're saying he is unable to actually drive in because there is that one road from the airport. So instead he'll be getting an aerial tour of that may or manheimer. I just thank you so much. I know it's been a long few days. I really appreciate you and i just want you to know we're all thinking of all of you in north carolina tonight thank you. Thank you very much absolutely. And i want to bring in my panel of political experts because there is a political factor in this storm and van you just heard her talking about the difficulty in getting the federal presence there on the ground besides fema actually having a presidential visit roy cooper, the governor of north carolina, was it's asked by anderson earlier about this claim that the federal government is not doing enough and not having enough of a presence here. Listen to what he had to say about that it makes no difference who you are if you need help we are going to provide it if there's ever a time where we all need to come together and put politics aside. It is now look, i am i know people north carolina, you know, i'm i'm from tennessee i have friends, they have family there. It's a horrifying time and people on the ground are coming together. That's americans and situations like this show our best selves except for donald trump saying, mean dumb things that make people think that the country is worse than it is. And that's not what he should be doing i mean, i have a friend whose mom was stuck across basically a river that used to be a neighborhood until just a few hours ago. I mean, this is real stuff in real time you don't need to be spreading fear and panic. You should be encouraging everybody to come together, should be trumped up standing with biden and kamala, right now to show that we are one country in a crisis like this, i mean, please, elton, is you look at this, you're a close ally of former president trump's. It is a moment where 120 people have been killed and that is the focus, but it's also now turning to trump saying that the bidens not calling camp, even though kim himself is saying, i talked to him last night about this, the federal government is helping us telling us, you know, whatever we need, we can get first off the 600 number is just shocking and i'm sure for everyone who's listening that, you know, that that's not an account of the entire jurisdiction of all the states that just asheville. Yeah. And for the people who live in asheville and those surrounding communities that were impacted, they're not thinking about november 5, they're not thinking about republican, democrat. They're trying to survive, trying to find their loved ones and take inventory of what they lost. I went through superstorm sandy here in new york and we have a lot of fellow americans and a lot of pain the fact is ballots are now out in different states in outside of these targeted areas, there are a lot of people thinking about politics were even thinking about it until recently and they're getting ready to cast their vote. I do think that this is something that as november 5 approaches we're going to be talking more and more about what took place and i think that there is going to be a need for growth, carolina and other areas to get help from the federal government. And i would encourage legislators on both sides of the aisle from across the country to rally together. And it might require coming back to congress to do so if i was over overanalyzing so far, i mean, listen, there was a decision that was made by president biden over the course of over weekend. He was not at the white house. Kamala harris is campaigning for president noted states campaigning and kamala harris was rallying in las vegas and your there's a prepositioning of assets. They'll get done in florida and georgia because usually that's the area they'll get impacted the most. And then it went inland to a place that is more shocked that they got hit as hard as they were and will learn more about where assets were placed and why. But that doesn't explain why, why donald trump is saying that trump is nuts or that biden's not speaking to the governor of georgia when he is speaking, we're going to talk and i think that's a fair point that people aren't thinking about november 5 or thinking about how do i get food and water and baby formula. But generally currently when you look at this, it is a test of leadership in these moments and this leadership style is, is on display today of what's happening in a crisis, right? and moments of crisis underscore who truly leaders are and to elie's point, there's very likely going to need to be a congressional supplemental. This is something that's already reached. Hurricane sandy levels. It could be as devastating here is katrina. This is something that's going to require a serious minded people to reach across the aisle to advocate for the people who've been harmed for the property damage in the years of reconstruction that's going to have to come donald trump oftentimes is not a person who rises to those moments in those moments of crisis, he showed up, but he said the wrong things and showing up is only half the job getting it done and providing for people is now i never like the idea of turning a crisis into a political moment. I've been on more disaster recovery mission side ever like to what the former vice president. They never like when you come to town, it doesn't help it distracts resources, but there is a way to show up and to show leadership and that you're paying attention without lying and making it political. The way that he did. Yeah. Lot more on the 2024 race to get to tonight. We're going to talk about that in a moment, but up next we have breaking news that we're going to take you to in the middle east because there are airstrikes happening right now near beirut, as israeli forces are begin, but israel is calling a limited targeted ground operation will take a closer look. And what's happening inside lebanon.

Breaking news this hour as israel's military has launched, what it is describing as a quote, limited ground operation into lebanon. You're seeing right here is the idf has begun sending forces across its northern border moments after israel security cabinet approved the next phase of this war with the iranbacked terror group, hezbollah. This is all coming after israel has killed many of hezbollah's top leaders and destroyed some of the places where explores its weapons, cnn's jeremy diamond joins me now from israel near that border with lebanon, jeremy just tell us what you're seeing. On the ground tonight. And what you're hearing from sources about what this actually is going to look like well, kaitlan for the first time in nearly two decades, these really military is confirming that they have sent a ground force into southern lebanon to go after hezbollah positions. And we have been hearing over the course of the last several hours because the steady thud of artillery being fired from near our position in northern israel just a few miles away from the lebanese border into southern lebanon. We have seen some of those explosions. We have seen flares in the air to light the path for those israeli ground troops that are going into southern lebanon, going after hezbollah positions were told in villages along that israel, lebanon border, the israeli military is taking pains to describe this as a limited operation. They say that these are limited localized, and targeted ground raids, but make no mistake. This is a ground offensive of the kind that we have wondered whether or not this conflicts between israel and hezbollah would escalate to this point and tonight it certainly has as these really security cabinet approved, the entry of ground forces into lebanon. And now those operations are being carried out all right jeremy diamond near the border would love it on keep us updated on what you're seeing throughout this hour. Also here tonight on these latest moves by israel, dan senor, who is a former foreign policy adviser in the george w bush administration, also the author of the genius of israel. Dan, we've had a lot of conversations since october 7 about what is happening in israel first in gaza. Now we're seeing what's happening in lebanon. What do you make of the impact of them sending israeli forces across the border? you were in israel right after october 7, and you saw the proximity in those southern communities to gaza, to hamas run gaza like less than a mile, a couple of miles, you can see them from the backyard? exactly. So if you then go to northern certainly israel, you have about 70,000 israeli citizens who've had to evacuate their communities and places like metula and kiryat shmona in towns and villages, and mosheh moshavim all across northern israel because they fear that there's an october 7 in the works coming from the north that hezbollah had in fact been planning some kind of october 7 attack. And the upper galilee so what is israel has been doing over the last few weeks is wiping out, trying to wipe out, decimate not only the leadership of hezbollah, but the infrastructure, the rocket infrastructure that drove the missiles. They estimates somewhere between 50 and 70% of that inventory has been wiped out. It still doesn't deal with the threat that? hezbollah operatives can still roll right into northern israel, right through tunnels, just like you say, you could see from southern, from southern israel right into gaza, from northern israel, you look there right now, you see hezbollah flags. If you're sitting in those towns. And the fear that there'll be another attack of that sort. And israel can't get into that infrastructure ultimately without sending any in some ground forces. I think it's more limited than it's being reported right now, but it is it an operation. So they are taking pains, as jeremy noted to say that this is very limited, but israel's also a mask thousands of forces on the border. I mean, there is don't you think there's a real possibility this could be much bigger and longer potentially than what we're hearing in times skeptical only because prime minister netanyahu for years has been averse to taking a major ground operation force, especially in the north, in southern lebanon at a lot of lessons from the 2006 lebanon war that went on for 34 days. That was very messy. For israel. And i think israel's demonstrated both with the pager attack, with the hit against hassan nasrallah, that it can do a lot of things in different parts of lebanon that don't involve ground forces. So i think the whole world is going to get fixated on the ground forces. I would keep an eye on some other surprises that i think israel may be working. Like what i do i'm just i'm just basing this on how they've operated last few weeks, the way they've operated over the last few weeks is keep people guessing everyone's looking over there and then they do this. Everyone's looking over here and then they take out hernia and tehran. So there's just one thing we've seen is law surprises that wouldn't be surprised when they've clearly shaken. Hezbollah leadership, but also iranian leadership. I mean the supreme later, reuters is reporting tonight that he has been taken basically underground, that he's in a secure location with heightened security measures i mean, basically he's in hiding because very clearly, they fear for his life that he could be targeted next, house or ron watching all this play out, there's two real risks to the iranian leadership, right now. Three room one is they have had hezbollah's a loaded gun pointed at israel for basically the last couple of decades, and they've been basically saying, try anything with us and we can light up this force on your northern border that has 200,000 rockets, other projectiles, i can go right into central israel. We can light that up at a time of our choosing. What israel has done over the last few weeks is slowly taken. That gun off the table, at least that loaded gun. So they don't have that deterrent against israel anymore. A, b, what the attack against haniah, the operation that took out ismail haniyeh in tehran and equivalent of the blair house in tehran. 89 weeks ago it's rattled iran, the iranian leadership, because they're like, how did the israeli intelligence gets so deep into our organizations, so deep into our capitol, haniah had been with the supreme leader earlier that day. They're thinking my gosh, he was that close. Right. And so they are now and the end there watching all these operations that israel's doing against the leaders of hezbollah. And they're wondering bring is anybody safe? and they're just scared. They don't know who to trust they've they've jammed up the communications capabilities because they don't know who they can talk to, who's listening and when you see the blair house, that's the house right across the street from the white house where we're foreign leaders come and stay. Dignitaries, winston churchill, that all they've all said today israel's operation against anya was at the equivalent of that guest house. A vip guest house for that the new president voronezh being sworn in. The messages, if israel can do that, if we could locate hassan nasrallah in lebanon, if it could do all that the pager attack, they just are realizing israel has the signal capabilities that they didn't realize this still ahead. They're all looking over their shoulder right now and the whole leadership of iran and hezbollah is destabilized. Now, it will, we'll see what happens, but there definitely thrown off kilter. Yeah. And we'll keep a close eye on what's happening in lebanon tonight. Dan senor. Thank you for that. Up next, a notable republican from a critical state in this election and every election pretty much former republican senator and ambassador jeff flake is now throwing his support behind vice president harris.

We know who donald trump is. He'll take control. We'll pay 187786 7866 at 5:55 witnessing something in this presidential election that did not happen the last two times that donald trump, brad at least not in the way that it's happening now. In 2016 and 2020, certainly some prominent republicans criticized him. But not many, not in a big group. This time though we're seeing a slew of notable names on the right outright endorsing the democratic nominee this time. Tonight that list is growing because first we saw the vice president's team rewards some of them with coveted speaking spots at the democratic national convention. We've also seen endorsements from republican dynasties, families that for decades have represented the core of the conservative movement. Whether it's the late senator john mccain's son or liz and dick cheney themselves i source tonight is adding his name to that list, jeff. Jeff flake spent nearly two decades as a republican on capitol hill representing arizona in the house and in the senate before serving until recently as the u. S. Ambassador to turkey. And he joins me now, ambassador, it's great to have you when you look at this and your endorsement of vice president harris what is it that leads a republican who represented arizona for so long to endorse a democrat for that office well, one, conservatives and i'm a conservative republican, not a moderate republican conservatives believe in the rule of law. We want to preserve traditions that's what conservatives do. And the top of that is the rule of law. And when you have a president lose an election and then tried to use the powers of the presidency to hold on after being turned out by the voters of that is a big violation of the rule of law. And i don't see how i could support that precedent what is it about? a potential second trump term that worries you the most? well, the same as with the first one. Now, i mean, i had problems from the very beginning when donald trump in what was it, 2012, when barak obama came in? earlier than that, the whole birther issue then it went on from that and the positions that the president, former president took just weren't very conservative. Certainly, no free trade, limited government. We had a lot of spending. So it's and let me, just say, there's a long and storied tradition of republicans supporting democrats when the occasion arises in 1991, when there was a republican, a troublesome republican in louisiana, george hw bush went and campaigned for the democrat so did several us republican senators and barry goldwater, mr. Conservative himself supported a democrat running for congress in arizona because he knew that that democrat would probably be beaten the next time. But in the meantime, the republican wouldn't have represented the party well. And that's the situation. We're in today. I mean, that 91 race that you're talking about, that was when david duke was running for governor of north carolina or louisiana, excuse me i would do see similarities between that brace and this one. No, not in the tight not in the racism. Certainly. I'm not making that allegation at all. But if you remember and in the democrat that was running as well, that have been indicted on corruption charges. The bumper stickers at that time where vote for the crook. It's important that what i'm saying here does it if you have a republican that is going to take republicans down the wrong path and if you have a republican, like i said who loses an election, a free and fair election, and then tries to use the powers of the presidency to hold on to power then that's the threshold issue. And i think that we republicans on to say, let's turn the page, let's move on. Even if we have the democrat in the meantime and that's so that's where i am. Well, it's so interesting to hear you say that because a lot of people who are watching this show and have watched it are familiar with republicans who come on and who say donald trump is not fit for office but i like his policies better than i like harris's. I mean, i think the first maybe most prominent is the former attorney general bill barr, who has certainly argued that i wonder, what do you say to those republicans who argue that? because they like his policies better than hers, that it's worth voting for him even if they think he's not fit for office well, you know, all of a space that as republicans, we could say, well, i'm not going to vote for the former president. We have a lot of people saying that, but i just can't bring myself to vote for a democrat in 2016, i voted for but thirdparty candidate, 2020. I voted for joe biden and i've thought since 2016 you you need to not just lodge a protest vote you have to vote for the alternative and so that's what i've done. I think that that are not telling my fellow republicans what to do but that's what i think should be done. But in your view, if you're not voting for donald trump, but also not voting for harris, you view it as a wasted vote it can be seen that way like i say, i know kamala harris, i know tim walz and i think that they would represent frankly conservative values better than the former president. Certainly respect for the rule of law free trade and understanding who our allies are abroad. I've spent the past three years abroad representing the united states. And i want to support a presidential candidate who knows so we have very real enemies abroad. But that we also have indispensable allies. They need to be supported. And i want to know how you want to vote for a president who knows the difference, and kamala harris knows the difference there yeah. I mean, interesting to hear you say you think they embody conservative values even more than when donald trump does, you know, just, just, it's a race overall. This weekend, we heard donald trump calling vice president harris mentally disabled. That is a quote which obviously is offensive to people who do have disabilities, but he says that on the campaign trail today hey, he's saying that biden camp can't get in touch with with biden about the hurricane response. Kemp says that's not true. We talked to him last night. I mean, when you look at what's happened, even just the last 72 hours what do you think the next 30 days of this campaign are going to look like? well, i think we don't just look to have to look at the last 72 hours. You can look far beyond that. This is, you know, calling people losers and clowns and deriving the country saying that country is run by stupid people. That's just unbecoming of what a conservative ought to be remember, concern we got to trace our lineage back to edmund burke and that's so you're not just to conservative on on trade or on fiscal conservatism. You ought to be a conservative in comportment as well. And how you treat your fellow human beings used to be. We have a grand tradition of the other party just being loyal opposition. But instead, they've been derided as clowns are losers. And in this case mentally disabled. That doesn't that doesn't comport well for conservatism in my view ambassador jeff flake. Thank you for joining tonight thank you much. Up next we're getting a first look at what the debate stage is going to look like tomorrow might be the last debate stage of this entire election cycle.

Com app today, a cnn special event, the vice presidential we'll debate tomorrow at nine we're getting our first look tonight at the stage where the two vice presidential candidates will debate less than 24 hours from right now, there'll be on that stage at this time tomorrow night. Donald trump himself has said he does not want to get back on the debate stage yet, perhaps though he does not want his vice president to be the last it's one to have the spotlight the former president says that he does plan to do a personal play by play of what happens tomorrow night between j. D. Vance and tim walz, my political sources are back with me and ben as we look at what that debate is going to look like tomorrow night sometimes the vice presidential, one is more low key or substantive but this has actually been a really personally so race between these two candidates since they've been picked. Yeah. I mean, i think this is going to be different because you have real differences of opinion, real differences a of personality, and real differences of point of view i think this idea of these are both former veterans they have pride in what they've done. They feel i think that there's a debate to be had about who is the stronger a patriot. I think that's going to be important but i think walt has got to be very careful he is not a good debater he's a good man, but he's not a good debater. He says he's not a good debater and i think j. D. Vance is mad. I think he has been humiliated every day since he was named vice president. I think he's looking for redemption whenever you're going up against somebody who is looking for redemption, who's, who's who's got a personal a stake in the outcome. You're dealing with a very dangerous opponent and i think that walz has got to be careful of maronite. I mean, what are your what are you going to be looking for in that debate stage tomorrow night? i think that i'm a supporter, obviously of senator vance and one of the reasons why you and i spoke about this at the convention that i love jd story. A lot of people out there in america don't know it so being able to find opportunities to talk about your service in the military, don't know where you are, you he got the most? famous story in american politics, lead mostly made up, but he's got a famous story and but there are a lot of people that they're actually tuning in and somehow they're undecided in this election. And you have to and talking to them about the issues for governor walz. I think that there is an accounting that i would i would expect j. D. Vance to be getting into as far as the comments it's about serving inside of war serving in war he was distributing tampons and boys bathrooms, elementary school. If some people say, oh, stay away from the cultural issues with a lot of people don't know about that, nor delaying to bring in the national guard when minneapolis was being burnt down or supporting taxpayer funded health care to people who aren't legally in the country. There's a lot to get flushed out when you're running against someone who is the furthest left nominee for vice president ever, but beloved popularity and you are hated and despised, even your own party. So that's what i should note also just quickly, i believe that was fact checked and they actually weren't doing that and boys restrooms and killed the bill though that governor walker actually happen, people looked into that, that does matter that he didn't sign it but listen, that was vance has a historic unfavorability rating right now going into this debate, he's also one of the least qualified vp candidates in recent memory that he's a junior senator and he's running with the oldest nominee for president donald trump. So he needs to show up and convinced it's the public eye would be ready, god forbid, on day one to be president of the united states. But what i would say is this, a lot of folks were introduced to j. D. Vance is the guy who's criticizing cat ladies, and insulting women. That's not all there is to j. D. Vance. He is a yale law grad. He's a marine corps veteran. He is somebody within a very fascinating life story, things about it have been questioned and if that side of him shows up, i think you could have a really formidable night. I would not underestimate him tomorrow. I actually am bullish that he might be the person who outperformed expectations, but tim waltz, this is a guy who spent 12 years in the house. He's known as six years governor. He should have the credentials, but i think he's somebody who's a lot more meant for retail politics than in front of a podium kind of hashing out the policies as well. And of course they've been practicing for this pete buttigieg has been playing j. D. Vance and the debate prep using tom emmer, the house whip, and the republican side, playing governor walz and jd vance's debate prep. And we we've seen this playing out, but we've also seen donald trump on the campaign trail. And obviously some of this is going to come up tomorrow night. Donald trump is talking about immigration over the weekend. Even he acknowledged that it was a darker speech than what he's given previously. This is what he said last night. Crooked joe biden became mentally impaired, said but lying kamala harris honestly i believe she was born that way and have you think about it only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country that's the over criminals who kamala set loose to rape, pillage the iv plunder and kill the people of the united states of america. And they'll walk into your kitchen. They'll cut your throat. I'm just saying it's a dark is a dark speech i mean, we're going to see that on the debate stage tomorrow night when you're talking about immigration, probably justice at the facts, straight, crime is going down, which the fbi just updated the numbers to. Then the immigrant population is committing a crime at a lower rate than the rest of us but that's the kind of despicable stuff that you're going to see from j. D. Vance, j. D. Vance has no integrity, no dignity no morals. He changed his whole personality to fit in with donald trump. He's lying about haitians and it's destroyed the haitian community in his own state for power he has done nothing except right, a phony book suck up to people with big money in on wall street. And then be a senator for a yearandahalf. He is a despicable person and you're going to see the worst of american politics tomorrow night from this guy. He's a racist and he's horrible and then listen, i think he is a man of integrity and he is someone who does not lie about cats and dogs. Cats and dogs. Well, tim walz is saying certain cats and dogs served in combat black people eat cats and dogs. Black immigrant eat was asked about it. That's integrity me, alyssa scott jennings on the lie here on air talking about talking about last night, about not knowing what words to use and blaming grammar or whatever like you had rather, rather have that background and then a bad soul, he is destroyed. Haitian children's ability to go to school because what j. D. Vance is off the wall, but the fact that the borders are is allowing well it's not jack kamala. Don't attack. Attack kamala don't attack. Did ramping up short, getting rid of tell your better man than getting kidnapped and raped and murdered. These stories are tearing apart. That's what gets to me because you ran a campaign pain with authenticity and integrity. There are bad things that have happened because of criminal migrants who come to this country highlight those, but don't make things up about a whole swath of people who by the way, the haitian community in springfield, if here legally. He is he's misrepresented things that actually detract from issues voters like me care about. I want to secure the back off of that comment about the haze she migrants tomorrow night, what would that be helpful to your party over the next three days if you're going to talk about springfield, ohio, and other places, there is a massive strain as it relates to the education system, the health care system? yes. The nobody even cats and dog, but we should talk about that because because that is a real thing, but he but he did. But that's not what it's awesome. About. What's i mean, listen, there are plenty of swans engaged and springfield, ohio the issue though that we should is what your party has become. You pick somebody but here's, a, year on health healthcare who was constrained qualified and who is a racist and a biggest billion dollars city is paying you and you. Well, we should talk about that because we have sanctuary city beginning of central new york city. We have sanctuary state and albany. And on top of it, they just passed noncitizen voting in new york city. They had noncitizen voting getting implemented. And you to department of justice going after local elections now, eagleson, the doj just went after alabama. Not for federal for local elections. Be clear. I'm sorry. Go ahead why you don't even need to tune in tomorrow night. There's a debate playing out right here at o'clock.

In an interview with the sports podcast, all the smoke, harris stood by her past calls on this issue strongly people should not be going to jail for smoking weed and we know historically what that has meant and who has gone to jail second, i just think we have come to a point where we have to understand that we need to legalize it and stop criminalizing this behavior. Harris told nba champions use all sitting there. Matt barnes and stephen jackson, that she has felt this way about weed for a long time, though it is worth noting that she oversaw prosecutions marijuana related offenses as san francisco's district attorney, matt barnes, the ceo of all the smoke productions, is our inside source tonight and it's so great to have you matt, i definitely thought if i ever interviewed you, we'd be talking about basketball. But just giving you this interview that is, you know, you've been very popular podcast. You sat down with the vice president. What stood out from that from your sit down with her including her comments that she had to make about marijuana first and foremost, i felt instead of an interview as more of a conversation, i think at the end of the day, we were had the honor of talking to a longtime while you're fan that happens to be running for the president of the united states. But when it comes to cannabis, and obviously the stigmas and myths on her track record as a prosecutor, when you do your research and kind of find out the actual numbers and bit her arrest were down 66% to her predecessor. You start to realize, okay, well, maybe there's a little fabrication there, but as far as what's going to take place now, her administer her are hurting biden administration pardoned over 6,000 people, encourage other governors across the country you do the same which ended up leading to hundreds of thousands of people being released for cannabis. So i think we've come a long way with cannabis. I still think we have a long way to go because there still are a lot of people locked up for it. And the wealth gap is disproportioned. Although this was split, a great opportunity for minorities that hasn't necessarily worked out that way. I like her stance and agree with their stance and i hope we're able to continue to legalize it across the country. Well, and you talked about policies like that. What that would look like if she is elected. You also had a really interesting conversation with her about mental health and kind of what it's like to be running for president of the united states. And the downsides i want people to just listen to what she told you how do you protect your mental health and your mental space? well, number one rule, don't read the comments and ask him amass unserious. Yeah. Don't read the comments. Just yeah. Let's start there. I work out every morning i work out every morning for me. It's just mind, body, and spirit i mean, you obviously have spent a lot of time in the public eye. I wonder what you what you made and what you took away from that that conversation. Well, i mean, it was an interesting question from a standpoint of i think there's no there's no boundaries on the other side now, as far as what can be said and what kind of personal attacks come, and we had the honor of doing his tobii bryant's last interview and i asked him a similar question and he told me he's like i heard everything and everything hurt. You know what i mean? so i wanted to see someone who is at the top of her game with the opportunity that she has how do you protect against all the noise in the madness? and i think she gave a great a great answer to be able to exercise and be at one. And then don't read the comments. We all know how treacherous social media can be a time. So i think that's most important, you know, as an athlete the game is 90% mental never been a presidential candidate, but i'm sure with all the mudslinging coming from one side, sometimes, although you may try to ignore it, you still hear it and i'm sure it bothers you so she deals with it a certain way and you i hope that encourages other people to handle their mental health and prioritize that. I heard everything and everything hurt. I mean, that's that's a really good way of putting it yeah, absolutely. Especially from one of the greatest athletes of all time and you're just sitting down with her. This situation we've seen so many presidential candidates. Trump is doing this as well, doing a lot of podcasts and trying to reach out to people from that way. What did you make of the fact that she just sat down with you overall? i mean, it was a tremendous shout out to my good friend chris holiday, who made it all happened within a few days. But the fact that she sat down and was so welcoming and our goal on that show was always to kind of humanize our guests, make them feel comfortable, so they really open up and share and we felt like she did that. You laugh. She had some serious points. We've touched on some policy but i think overall we gave our fans a chance to get to know her a little bit better. Matt barnes, it's a great lesson for anyone. The podcast overall is as well. Thank you for joining me tonight. Thank you. Thank you for joining us seeing news night with abby
