Waiting for payday anymore. And you join me. I can. Com and get paid when you say im bill, were on the California Coast and this is cnn time to break down the big stories with some smart people. Today, were asking as the Middle East teeters on the brink of all out, war, does President Biden have any influence left to limit the conflict . Then saying washington, trump well discuss claims. The media is sanitizing some of the former president s outlandish comments and gift wrap goat. The chance to give a piece of Tom Brady as a christmas gift. But it could cost you a lot of money. The panel is here and ready to go. So Sit Back, relax and lets talk about it knifes edge as fighting in the Middle East headed towards an allout War Israel now fighting on two fronts and Gaza And Lebanon could soon open up a third front with a wrong and the u. S. Seemingly powerless to contain the crisis the response will be painful. Israel wearing a retaliatory strike against iran. Okay. Okay, guys, we got to get off the roof after that regime launched almost 200 missiles across israel, had military and intelligence installation. United states is fully, fully, fully supportive of israel, but President Biden urging israel not to go too far in its response they have a right to respond but look at the past year when us warnings of mostly been ignored biden drew this Red Line and may they go into rafah . Im not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah less than a week later, israeli forces raiding that city In Gaza then by many proposals for ceasefires in Gaza And Lebanon to roadmap to an enduring ceasefire and the release of all hostages. We can the basis for a Ceasefire Statement 21 day ceasefire, but two days after that last us initiative is three bomb beirut, killed hezbollahs leader, Hassan Nasrallah here with me today, Podcaster Journalist and Author Kara Swisher reihan salam, president of the Manhattan Institute and national review, Contributing Editor New York Times journalist and the Interview Podcast Host Lulu Garcia Navarro and conservative pollster and New York Times Opinion Writer kristen soltis anderson. Welcome back everyone. Riha, can a Wider Regional War still be avoided . The Wider Regional War has been going on for about a year now, and israel is now forcefully engaging in that Wider Regional War. Iran has been deeply involved, deeply implicated, both in the October 7 attack itself, that it, has been pounding of communities in the north of israel. And now israel is doing what it needs its to do in order to ensure its security. So this Wider Regional War has been going on, but it was through the proxies of iran. Now its directly between Tehran And Jerusalem that is different. Well, iran did launch a Missile Attack back in april, as will recall, and now look there on the backfoot and now israel is pressing its advantage exactly as it should israel is doing Things Today that they were looking to do in october, way back a year ago, and they were restrained because the biden administration said then, guys, look, slow it down 95 plus of israelis are strongly in favor of taking action against hezbollah because of the incredibly deadly threat it represents to israel. And now theyve demonstrated that they penetrated hezbollah thoroughly, and they have greatly degraded its ability to harm israelis and others in the well, as we wait now to see how israel is going to respond to that, bharat of missiles this past week irans new president has warned they will fight back. Take a look but how a multitownship us if the Zionist Regime does not stop its crimes, it will face harsher reactions. And i guess if they want to respond, they will face a more severe response. Lulu, how big could a direct conflict between iran and israel, not through proxies, but a direct conflict. How bad could that get . It could get very bad. I think were in a very dangerous period what kept the Middle East . Sort of not nominally controlled is that there was the sense that there were Red Lines that neither side was going to cross. So on the one hand, Israel Wasnt going to actually launch a direct attack in iran, which they did with the killing of the leader of hamas. And on the other Hand Iran it wasnt going to launch missiles directly on a place like tel aviv. So what we have here is that all the Red Lines have been blown through and a very combustible situation. I think at this point, President Biden has been urging calm, but those days of calm or wellover, and were now seeing a very, very volatile period and its not really clear whats going to happen because the real problem here is that yes israel has launched these attacks, but there is no plan for what happens after, as we showed in the setup piece, President Biden says the israeli response, which we expect in the next few days should be proportionate. And a ruled out an attack on irans nuclear program. Former president but and trump didnt think much of that i mean, to make a statement, please leave their nuclear alone i would tell you that thats not the right answer. There was the craziest answer. Because you know what soon theyre going to have nuclear weapons. And then youre going to have problems kristen how much should the u. S. Get involved and in walkway, to reaffirm that israel is our Number One ally in that region, that we have their back. And i think its the sense that we have been undercutting them either privately or publicly, that has led to this erosion. Of trust. The relationship between Bibi Netanyahu and the biden administration is not great, right now. Theres a lot of fingerpointing about why that is, but my sense is that Joe Biden does not have a ton of influence over what Bibi Netanyahu does. And so weve all along, youve Thought Bibi is bad and hes handling this incorrectly. I think bidens actions since ive made it less easy for the u. S. At least for the next few months until we get a new president really on to help restrain hes been the biden administration has been giving exactly where it counts, which is enormous amounts of Aid Military and otherwise, the fact that they are urging restraint is the traditional role of the United States, not just with Bibi Netanyahu, but throughout the history of the state of israel, but i think there have been things like, for instance, saying, we you all, please, you shouldnt go into rafah and then they say, you know what, were going to go in and were going to find hostages that hamas has been holding that have not been turned over. I do think the hostages have been killed. And not only that, how many palestinians have been killed. And not only that what is the endgame here . You now have the state of Israel Fighting In Gaza. You dont have the state of Israel Fighting in the north against hezbollah in the south of lebanon. And now you have maybe potentially direct conflict with always telling israel that they have to be the ones that are restrained when it is them who is getting rockets out into there. I want to bring kara in because it seems to me that what youre describing, lulu has actually put the u. S. And kind of the worst of both worlds on the one hand were saying, hey, go slow, dont do this. On the other hand, were continuing to give them billions of dollars tons of armaments. I mean, you tick off everybody. Well, i think its sort of biden who he doesnt have influence at all. And no ones going to be listening to them because theyre waiting for whoever the next president is. So it doesnt hardly matter because nothing is going to happen in that time period. And therefore, theyre not going to take any kind of advice from the u. S. Probably what they should be doing is working Behind The Scenes with other arab countries to help bring something together. But theres no influence here. Ronnie on this gets to the bigger question. Can an it goes beyond the Middle East. Can our allies, and can our adversaries ignore what the american president says . Without any consequence, while theres a perception that President Biden at them oh man, is incredibly in constant. There was a little moment at a Press Conference not long ago where he was asked a question, but whether or not israel would be striking iranian oil fields. And he gave his usual kind of slapdash answer of what were talking about that anyway, lets move on. And then immediately Oil Prices surged by close to 6 on that news. And it caused an enormous amount of panic and the region thats the kind of thing you dont casually in artless Lee Share as an aside, during a Press Conference, there was a time when the United States and the biden administration did have more leverage with respect to the conflict in the Middle East that leverage has steadily diminished, not just because hes a lame Duck President , but all so because of that same inconstancy that kristen was describing before, the sense that youre going to be a backseat driver, youre going to undermine your partner, but then youre actually not going to do anything especially effective, right now, israel is taking actions that benefit not just the israeli people, but its actually doing things to undermine enemies of the United States. Whereas the Biden Admin Ministration has been utterly confused and confusing. Huge humanitarian cost. I mean, i understand that we can put a g over, we can talk geopolitically but there is a cost in lives and there is a cost and safety. And we are seeing that in lebanon, we are seeing that In Gaza and we are seeing that in is what we are seeing that gray with what reihan said, that weather because of inconstancy or in competence or whatever it is that people just dont pay that much attention to this president. I dont i dont think its just the lame Duck Thing that they dont pay that much attention to. Joe biden anymore on the World Stage, on the World Stage . Sure. Israel in particular on the World Stage, i would say on the World Stage, i dont think that thats true. Certainly that isnt true. If you think of the ukraine conflict, i do think its true when it has to do with israel, but i dont think its unique to this particular conflict. Weve seen that over and over again because the state of israel, as any country does, does whats in its best interests and in this case this, this particular president thanks. That this particular leader of things, whats in his best interests is to go forth and try and attack hezbollah on the and Swing States this weekend, as Donald Trump says, no to two big chances to reach tens of millions of voters.

Donald trump facing new legal headwinds following this weeks filing from special counsel, Jack Smith in the 2020 Election Interference case, which argues trump acted in a private capacity resorting to crimes to try to stay in office. Its pure Election Interference in the 2020 election also taking Center Stage at a political event. No one saw coming four years ago former republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney campaigning for democratic nominee Kamala Harris. He praised the rioters. I asked you to reject the depraved cruelty of Donald Trump. Trump was quick to attack Liz Cheney is a stupid warhawk sprung note to follow kristin, where is this president ial race right now . Its very close and anybody who tells you they are confident that they know how this is going to go. Dont listen to them. Nobody should feel confident. Do you see any advantage jia and the geographic Swing States, you see any advantage in terms of the issues right now . I think id rather be harris than trump, if only because she is doing so well in these national polls, when you ask voters, what are you hearing about the race . She is a better kind of Information Flow right now. But in the Battleground States its very interesting if you live in somewhere like colorado or ohio, some of its not considered a president ial swing state. Your tv he has plenty of ads for other races, but nothing about trump and harris. But if you live in arizona where you live in pennsylvania, you cannot turn on the tv without hearing about Kamala Harris is weak on the border are Kamala Harris supports this saturday. Other thing thats liberal or conversely, im Kamala Harris and i approve this message and its her talking about how actually shes really moderate and so on and so forth. I think in the battleground, states voters are getting more negative messaging about Kamala Harris than voters elsewhere for sure, thats where all the money is going. To defining her these national polls that show her up. I do take them with a bit of a grain of salt, pennsylvania states like that or all that matters. And right the now, the Polling Averages show It Neck and neck. There is so much happening just in last week, the special Counsel Filing by Jack Smith, the Vice President ial debate, the Liz Cheney endorsement of a democratic Candidate Talk about mindblowing where is this race now also springsteen, if you saw that, you know, i think its difficult. I think she says, we dont know. I think its very hard. I think again, its all about turnout and who there might be people responding to polls arent really going to go to vote. They may be just talk about it and so i do think people actually dont know. I have a feeling a lot of people arent saying what theyre going to do like that. It feels like the Lough Mouse are talking, but maybe not everybody and well see, i think its going to be a Ground Game. And whoever collects the most money has the best Ground Game is going to win here and getting people to the polls, then there is trumps unusual media strategy, 60 minutes is doing a special this monday featuring interviews
