Coventry direct redefining Insurance Eva Mckend On The Road with the Harriswalz Camp Cnn trump tries to shore up North Carolina. We win this state. I think its going to be over fast after cnn reveals lewd and disturbing posts by Mark Robinson, Who Trump back for governor. Could that put North Carolina in Harrisons Column Robinsons Opponent democratic Attorney General Josh Stein gives his first major interview since this story broke ahead and the play for women, Vice President Kamala Harris leans into her case that they just dont trust women and trump responds, you will no longer be thinking about abortion, but are there new Warning Signs for harris with men, michigan democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer is next, plus boiling Point Israel pummels terrorist Group Hezbollah in lebanon already reeling from the exploding Pager Attack could Tension Spiral into a wider war, key trump ally, republican Senator Tom Cotton is ahead hello, im Jake Tapper in washington where the state of our union is frankly thrilled to watch democracy in action were 44 days until will the election and early voters have begun to cast their ballots with perhaps the closest president ial election in modern history that candidates are on the Campaign Trail making their cases. Donald Trump Rallying voters in North Carolina. Yesterday, notably absent the man he is warmly back for governor. Mark robinson after cnn revealed but robinson called himself a quote, black nazi and made a host of other rather disturbing comments on a porn website forum. More than a decade ago, Vice President Kamala Harriss campaign is hoping that that scandal helps her eke out a Wind Win in North Carolina, which democrats have only done on the president ial level once in the last 44 years, the Harris Campaign is highlighting trumps Past Effusively Praise for Lieutenant Governor Robinson as she tries to lean into attacks on trumps antiabortion stance hypocrites want to start talking about this, isnt the best interest of women and children taking care of the women and children of America Trump trying to counter those attacks yesterday, he argued that women are poorer, less healthy, and more depressed and unhappy than they were four years ago. Joining me now is michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who campaigned with harris this week. Shes also the author of a new book, true gretch, what ive learned about life, Leadership And Everything inbetween, weve interviewed her about that book before. Its a its a fun read. Governor. Its crunch time. Youre on a Tour Supporting Abortion Rights with Vice President harris Donald Trump was rallying supporters in North Carolina saturday afternoon. I want you to take a listen to what he said would happen if he wins in a few weeks healthy, confident, and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion he says thats because it will be brought back to the states where it belongs whats your response . Thats just ludicrous. So i think, you know, this guy just doesnt understand what the average woman is confronting in her life in this country and how could he, hes not lived a normal life, unlike Kamala Harris who has worked hourly jobs, who knows how important it is that women have Health Care . Fair and access to the medical care that they need. And so hes just deranged. Were learning about deaths in georgia that are being blamed on the states sixweek abortion ban. One of the strictest in the country republican governor brian kemp, who signed that ban into law. He says the procedures that these two women men needed were actually perfectly legal. And the problem is democrats spreading, quote egregious Misinformation And Propaganda that fostered a Culture Of Fear and confusion, unquote, whats your response to that . If republicans would just stay out of our doctors offices, we would all be better off. We would all be safer. We would all be able to make our own decisions about our bodies. Theres no question that Donald Trumps appointees to the United States Supreme Court as ripped these rights away from so many american women. Women have lost their lives and if Governor Kemp wants to clarify the law and make it easier for Women In Georgia to access the healthcare that they need. Im sure that a lot of women would be grateful for that but at The End of the day, its not a his business. He should stay out of the doctors offices and these important decisions that should be vested in and only in the women who they impact youre from michigan, a big Union State for the first time in almost three decades, the Teamsters Union has decided to not endorse a president ial candidate. They have traditionally endorse the democrat. This comes after Donald Trump won the pole of Teamsters Union members by 25 points one Proharris Union Official told politico that that poll is a Red Flag reminiscent of the 2016 election when Hillary Clinton underperformed among Union Households and among white man and ultimately did not win do you think this is all a Red Flag for harris, especially in michigan . I can just tell you this. This selection is going to be close. Weve always known that thats what happens in these president ial elections. And in a state like michigan or pennsylvania, wisconsin, we know that this is going gonna be a close race. We also know that it was the Bidenharris Administration that saved the teamsters pensions. We know that there is one candidate who understands why collective bargaining matters, and thats why the Rank And File members of the teamsters have come out robust asli in favor of the harriswalz ticket. We welcome and appreciate their support, but where were in it to earn the support of all americans and were going to stay focused on an economy that creates opportunity for every person. And i welcome all the local teamsters whove john im don board. Theyre the ones on the ground and theyre the ones who are going to decide the fate of this election youre states Attorney General, Dana Nessel charged almost a dozen individuals from the University Of Michigan over the antiisrael protests among the charges attempted ethnic intimidation, assaulting, or obstructing a Police Officer and on and on these are propalestinian protesters who, who were being punished and prosecuted. Michigan democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, who is palestinian. She called the charges from nessel, who is jewish shameful and tlaib said, quote, it seems that the Attorney General decided if the issue was palestine, she was going to treat it differently and that alone speaks volumes about possible biases within the agency. She runs unquote. Nestle responded by saying, quote Rashida Tlaib should not use my religion to imply i cannot perform my job fairly as Attorney General, its antisemitic and wrong unquote. Do you think that to leave suggestion that nessels office is biased was antisemitic son jake, you know what . All i can say is that i know that our Jewish Community is in pain as is our palestinian and muslim and arab communities in michigan now that seeing the incredible toll that this war has taken on both communities has been really really challenging and difficult for called on my heartbreaks for so many. But as governor my job is to make sure that both these communities are protected and respected under the law in michigan. And thats exactly what im going to stay focused on. But do you think Attorney General nessel is not doing her job because Congresswoman Tlaib is suggesting that she shouldnt be prosecuting these individuals that nessel says broke the law and that shes only doing it because shes jewish and the protesters are not thats quite quite an accusation. Do you think its true like i said, jake, im not going to get in the middle of this argument that theyre having. I can just say this. You know, we do want to make sure that students are safe on our campus he says and we recognize that every person has the right to make their statement about how they feel about an issue, a right to speak out and im going to use every every lever of mine to ensure that both are true some states such as georgia are enacting Lastminute Election rules changes, and some local officials are refusing to commit to certifying local results earlier this year. A small all county in your state of michigan refuse to certify results in a local recall election. Are you worried about potential problems or delays in michigan well i think we should all be concerned. There are certainly is an effort to undermine her confidence in our democratic institutions. There is an effort to misinform people and we know that there is false information that is ramping in every per Day Conversation in this country. And so i do think that we all known to be on high alert. I will also say this though in michigan we have codified a lot of different ways for people to participate wait in this election, weve increased penalties against those who threaten Election Workers and were going to make sure that our votes are cast and counted. And im not worried about the outcome we may have some difficulties along the way because there arent nefarious people who are trying to undermine our confidence in our elections, but we wont let them win only a few weeks left until this is all over. Weve heard other democrats in your position suggesting that they want to see more from Vice President harris and Governor Walz in terms of not necessarily speeches and controlled environments, but Town Halls with voters, more interviews, Mixing It Up, Press Conferences were only 44 days to the election. Do you agree would you like to see more of that . I didnt have incredible confidence in both the Vice President and Governor Walz. They have shown that they are happy warriors they are able to answer tough questions and they are eagles eager to get back into the debate. I know that Vice President has already accepted did you are invitation for a debate . Well see if the former president has the guts to take her on all right. Governor gretchen whitmer. Thank you so much thank you. My next guest has been floated as a potential secretary of defense. In a second, Donald Trump administration. Im going to ask arkansas Senator Tom Cotton what that second Trump Term might look like next. And then, what does the scandal in North Carolina mean for trumps chances there in november, the Damac Democrat running for governor joins me for his first major interview since this scandal about his opponent broke.

Im Jake Tapper, President Biden will meet with World Leaders at the Un General Assembly this week with the Secret Service already on high alert after that second assassination ancient attempt on former President Trump just one week ago. Thats all as the simmering crisis in the Middle East begins to flare up even more, and the terrorist Group Hezbollah in lebanon, retaliates against israel after the surprise attacks, joining us now a top trump ally, republican Senator Tom Cotton, a member of the senate, intelligence and armed services committee, who also served in the middle attorney himself. Thanks so much for joining us. Really appreciate it so for almost a year now israel has been fighting on five different fronts hamas to its west, hezbollah to the north, the houthis to the south, iran and its proxies in Iraq And Syria in the east, northeast. And just this morning, there was a new round of Rocket Fire and airstrikes between israel hezbollah. How concerned are you about a bigger, larger regional war . And the united states being pulled in or voluntarily going into the war well, if there is a larger war is going to be by accident, wars dont happen by accident, they happen because in this case, because iran and its terror, terrorist network all around israels use laid out, jake, are intent on destroying israel a lot of attention has been focused over the last 11 months, rightly so on hamas to the south but i think many americans probably dont appreciate just how much hezbollah from lebanon has been striking into israel. You still have 80,000 israelis who have had to flee their homes in the north and be evacuated. And a friend or familys homes or hotels. Just to put that in perspective, it would be as if the entire populations of maine, new hampshire, and vermont had to flee to boston or New York or philadelphia because were having crossborder strikes. Canada, know civilized nations can tolerate that, can allow their people to live under those conditions. Israel has every right to defend itself and to go on offense against a Terror Chris organization in lebanon. And we need to give them the tools to defeat both hamas in the south. And hezbollah in the north and defend their own people is the united states not giving tools that theyre not . No, know. First off, theyre not giving them the political and diplomatic support that they needed from the very beginning. If rather than trying to put constant pressure on israel, more pressure than we put on iran and its terrorist networks joe biden, Kamala Harris, its simply adopted policy to let israel win and back them to the hilt. The war in hamas probably would have ended a long time ago, earlier this year, there was a defacto partial Arms Embargo on israel, not just the 2000 Pound Bombs which they do need to hit hamas in its deepen very tunnels. But mortar rounds and Artillery Shells and small as ammunition. Now they even have Attractor Embargo and israel israeli soldiers are exposed to minefields that cant be cleared because the Bidenharris Administration want allow them to get access to the tractors and the bulldozers. They need to clear those mines im fields. So insistent consistently, the Bidenharris Administration has put more pressure on israel and has put on israels enemies. Thats probably had the effect of prolonging the fighti
