General election ever Vladimir Putin declaring russia is prepared to use Nuclear Weapons after the white house announces a new Military Aid Package for ukraine and the house set to vote on a bill that could effectively ban tiktok. But can it pass for donald trump . Said hes against it . All right, 05 00 a. M. On the east coast. Live. Look at lady liberty pretty on this wednesday morning beautiful. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Wonderful to have you with us. Are you ready for the rematch after last nights primary wins, cnn projects, President Biden and donald trump have clinched their respective party nominations, setting up the longest General Election jin president ial campaign ever. Both candidates quickly releasing videos to try and spread the news. Were not going to take time to celebrate. Well celebrate. And eight months when the election is over november 5th. I believe will go down as the most important day in the history of our okay. Country protect our brain are you ready to witness . Were casting their ballots. Former Special Counsel, robert hur, appeared before the Judiciary Committee to explain his investigation into President Bidens handling of classified documents. Her decided against criminal charges, but he triggered a firestorm over his suggestion that the president had as Memory Issues occur, defendant himself yesterday my assessment and the report about the relevance of the president s memory was necessary and accurate and fair all right. Joining us to break it all down, senior political reporter for axios eugene scott. Eugene. Good morning. For voters who apparently dont believe or couldnt believe we were going to get biden trump again, here we are what . What does it look like . I mean, this is just going to be an incredibly grueling situation for the country. Quite honestly the biden team really trying to turn the page here saying we won the her testimony, kind of putting that episode behind them. I mean, what do you expect Going Forward . Well, from the biden team, theyre going to try to keep building off momentum of the State Of The Union address, which is why weve seen them hit the campaign trail, really trying to put out ads that pushed back on so many of the narratives that republicans have put forward, saying that biden should not get four more years and just hoping that a lot of the criticism hes received based on age. And of course, gaza and even some things like the economy let me which reports are actually quite different from how the popular public feels about him. Theyre hoping that their narrative takes. So eugene to go to her for a second lets play a little bit more from the Hearing Yesterday because i will say there seemed to be via sense that everyone kind of got what they wanted out of it. Every lose angry at her. Republicans took it and put it one way and there was stuff for them to seize on in their democrats focused on in particular the questions around bidens memory of the time his son beau died and basically said, this is all at bogus. This is not what happened. Watch a little bit more from the Hearing Yesterday who are republican know arent you . I am a registered republican and youre doing everything you can do to get President Trump reelected. All i have to do when im caught taking home classified materials to say im sorry, mr. Herbert, but im getting old. My memory is not so great. Congressman. This is the doctrine that youve established in our laws now and its frightening so as you can see, everyones mad at him. Who do you think came out on top here, if anyone . Im not really sure it was the american public, but setting that aside, i mean politically, what do you, what were your takeaways from what happened yesterday . Well, its interesting, you know, the purpose of these so often seems like the goal is to get a viral moment. So you can use it while youre campaigning, or that you can point to it. Were here maybe trying to curry favor with maybe biden or trump, and its not really clear who actually won, but what is clear is that these early, the early releases of the report, just whats not as extensive as we initially thought or i mean, we respectfully knew that, but i think think a lot of people who ran with the main headline were perhaps a price to find out that it didnt actually say a lot of the things that republicans said they did. And her gave an opportunity to clarify and tried to present himself as the less partisan than people in his party may hits. Report seemed to be yeah. I mean, i think its important to underscore that the thing that seemed to make the president most angry about this report was, again the assertion that he couldnt remember when his son, beau died and when you go back and you read fact, we have the transcripts five hours, right . This is what it looks like printed out its its actually biden himself that brings this into the conversation. And hes talking about a series of events that happened in a certain period. He does remember the exact day, may 30. And then there are sort of this backandforth where someone jumps in and hes kind of like, well, which exact here, 02015 right . The portrait that the transcripts seems to paint of this moment does seem different. There was so much context missing, and it reminds me of you remember going all the rallies on the campaign trail. And would you get clips that we share or that hit the social media . And when you look at the clip or read the transcript, more fully, you realize, oh, this perhaps would sound differently if i included this part or if they heard this part. And thats what i think a lot of democrats tried to highlight and even moments where republicans try to get her to even take it further, like the whole bit about whether or not hes seen now, he pushed back on that and made sure that he wasnt further misrepresented. Yeah. Ill very interesting and of course we havent havent heard the last bit if republicans need to say about it, eugene scott. Thank you very much for starting us off this morning. I appreciate it. Up next here are the ominous warning from Vladimir Putin saying russia is ready to use Nuclear Weapons if its threatened plus a deadly blast caught on camera, well show you this big explosion in china.

Businesswoman celebrity chef, leichhardt the many lives of Martha Stewart now streaming on max overnight in an interview with russian state media, Vladimir Putin said, moscow is ready to use Nuclear Weapons. But he did add, quote, there has never been such a need and quote, the comment coming after the Biden Administration announced 300 million in new military aid to ukraine on tuesday. They had claimed for months that there was no money left. The Defense Department says the funding is possible because of savings from Weapons Contracts. The package includes artillery, antiaircraft missiles, antiarmor systems, and ammunition. Here to discuss all this, cnns max foster live for us in london. Max, ive missed you. Thank you for being here this morning. So these putin comments, they come just ahead of the russian president ial elections. Elections on friday in which hes expected to win a fifth term in office what do you make of this sort of Saber Rattling Situation . Well, hes the strongman. Hes emphasizing that to the russian public to get the vote out for him. Of course, hes going to win the election, but itd be great for him to have a great turnout on a big result. And hes not to be messed with. Hes going to protect the people of russia he will also be aware that this is the one issue that i think particularly here in europe. The General Public freak out about the idea that he could fire off Nuclear Weapons. So its unnerving to the General Public in the countries that he feels threatened by. Yeah max, this of course all looming as the General Election here in the us is officially joined with both donald trump and joe biden clinching their respective nominations. This obviously the aid package that the Biden Administration is getting out the door is obviously, im kinda getting creative with some of the accounting that seems like its not something that would happen under a trump administration. In fact, the Hungarian Prime Minister viktor orban said this week, he met with trump. Remember, on friday at maralago that trump told him, quote, he would not give a single penny to kyiv and just to reminder, heres what trump had to say about or ban watch this is the way its going to be in this. He had a great leader, fantastic leader, europe over the world, their respective so the message here seems pretty clear who gets elected theres no more money coming from america for this. What does that mean . I dont know. Does it mean that he said it oneonone with orban and its sort of thing that orban would want to hear because its a similar view that he shares. I think orban is hes a rightwing pin up here in europe and donald trump does have this history, doesnt really associating with rightwing strong man, and hes certainly one of those lets see if he refuses to send money to ukraine. I mean, a lot of the language does point that way, but hell also be aware that it does create a Counter Threat to the us if he allows russia to push through, you wonder if he can he feels that with putin, he can resolve this ukrainian crisis and take away the threat to the us uk. See, ive learned not to rely on exactly. What trump says and what he does so how does this all tie together . I dont know. Yeah, thats fair. Although i have to say putin has become something of a folk hero in some conservative circles. I mean the republican ucla republicans tweeted an image earlier this week that had conservatives like great conservatives. I forgot their exact language. Im being a little imprecise, but the pictures were very clear with donald trump, xi jinping, and Vladimir Putin in the same image max, not to make a hard turn, but i have to say, i mean, ive been you and ive been on whatsapp talking about this and i know your vacation got cut short because of the Shear Ineptitude of Buckingham Palace and kensington palace, i guess i should be more precise in that as well. What is the next turn of this story with the princess of wales when are we going to find out where she actually is . Why are we not seeing her . I mean, can we still trust the palace at this point . Theres a question yeah. Theyve always been in ive been doing this a long time and theyre working with the palaces and theyve always been very reliable and generally they give accurate information. Of course, theres spin to what they give you, but in terms of the information they give you it tends to be accurate. Now there are two sides to this posting. An image of your family to social media, which a lot of people would say yeah you can touch it. Up you can use a filter, you can crop it. You want to look good. Thats how, how the system works. But this wasnt just posted to social media. It was also sent out as an Editorial Image to News Organizations like cnn. That image clearly was edited and manipulate not just edited, so it wasnt just a filter it wasnt just cropping it, it was manipulated. And there were parts of the four people in this image who had been moved and weve got it wasnt in our view, a true reflection of exactly what happened in that moment. So therefore, its not a news picture we had to call it out of course, this could have been a very minor touchup which any mother would do to make their family look great. But there is a line in terms of journalism and Afp News Agency of spoken about that from their point of view, they feel a line in journalism was crossed. So it is more complex than you see it also feeds into all the Conspiracy Theories that theres been a cover up here. And i dont think any of those are going to be laid to rest until we actually see her back on engagements. And all we know is thats going to happen around east, but no confirmation of that. But just imagine kasie, the frenzy of cameras are going to turn up to that i really cant imagine we have what, two weeks or so until twoandahalf weeks until easter. So have fun internet in the intervening time. Max foster live for us in london. You can do anything. I appreciate it. Thanks for being here. Casey all right. Up next here, safety issues at boeing forcing Major Airline to cut back on hiring plus, well House Republicans vowed a trump before voting later today on a tiktok ban the, right age for neutrogena retina.
