It. Prosecutors right now offering a redacted version of the special Counsel Jack Smith filings made public today pick it was in this newly and steele court people we are learning that President Trump resorted to crime, after the 2020 election. We do not know what is more than that, a lot of the staff would be coming out anyway. They will be getting the latest on that, looking at what is being revealed here. And whether it is giving us any information, we do not know the timing of this of course more than five weeks before the general election. Top of that kind the latest of the spook in the meantime then there is this. The Death Toll from helene keeps mounting, the impact of this Port Strike keeps growing and fears of a wider war in the Middle East keep as cleaning by the minute. We are on and pick rest of all israel vowing to iran will pay for that missile attack, wages do not know how they will pay. And exactly when that will be. Welcome everybody, im neil cavuto, busy news day, probably an understatement. We are our sake what do we have mike . For the first time in this conflict is, israeli fighters, israeli soldiers and hezbollah fighters have engaged in direct combat with a huge setback for israel. Eight israeli soldiers have been killed fighting in a Southern Lebanon for israeli Infantry And Army units joined the commanders operating in south lebanon, hezbollahs out of their fighters engaged israeli forces right on the israeli border. There are separate incidences, one is described as an ambush involving antitank missiles pick this up in one day after israel disclosed its Special Forces have been sneaking across the border since november, 70 missions were completed to finally destroy hezbollah weapons and infrastructure intended for an October Seventh like attack and the Northbrook Yesterday Israel says through all of those rates, the idf had no contact with the enemy, today, eight dead. The capability of Hezbollah Rocket teams remains intact spook from our Vantage Point in Northern Israel we see Rocket Fires from the southernmost lebanon, interceptors chasing them in the sky. Small compared to what We Saw yesterday, 181 ballistic missiles fired from iran, most winters are pretty, some got through, there were damage to civilian structures and an israeli air base. Is dressed as the Operation And Capability the israeli Air Force has not been impacted. The Air Campaign into lebanon did not let up, Fresh Air strikes in beirut, so far according to lebanon, 1900 people were killed, 9000 injured, more than 1 Million people forced from their homes. Thank you very much. Go to trey yingst, he has more, also in israel right now. Exactly what they are discovering about hezbollah, some pretty involved in encampment spook some into stone walls, fascinating to. What did you learn . Nield, as the israelis launched a Ground Operation into Southern Miss when on earlier this week, we were among the first waves of soldiers to en enter. Here is what We Saw. Minutes after the orders are given, israeli Soldiers Load into Land Rovers and drive towards lebanon. The mission to reach a Hezbollah Position less than a mile from israel. Once near the fence as they cross quietly over the border. The pitch black Night Access to that cover as emotion unfolds, a distant flared of the of light. The crunch of branches beneath their feet are the only noise. In arriving at the Hezbollah Out was a first have a maze of tunnels and rooms before reentering. Right now israeli forces are conducting a Ground Operation into Southern Lebanon. We are ways that lead commander of the unit embedded underground right now. To get here, we walk through minefields, crossed uneven terrain, pop with craters left behind from the israeli bombardment of Southern Lebanon. The israelis have faced a lot of criticism for the campaign against lebanon, we have seen the Rocket Fire towards Northern Israel targeting many different cities. What is being done to protect lebanese civilians amid this conflict . We know hundreds have been killed as a result of the campaign so far. Our war is on with the lebanese civilians, it is with hezbollah. So if they are killed in the firing, almost 10,000 rockets at israeli civilians, unlike them we do not target a civilians, we target terrorist infrastructures. As israel expands operations to lebanon, an estimated 1 Million lebanese civilians are displaced from their homes and as israeli strikes against hezbollah kick up, so does the Death Toll among the civilian population. At the last thing i expected was our building was going to get struck, it has it has nothing to this man says the funeral of his Wife And Dau daughter. In the israelis and says the Air And Ground campaign against Lebanon Targeting Hezbollah is necessary, the point to the thousands of rockets that have been fired into the northern part of this country since october eighth, displacing It Tens Of Thousands of israelis. Neil thank you for all of that, joining us now, the former head of the u. S. Military Missile Defense agency, very great having you. This series of questions here that are very simplistic on my part if you can help me out with this dome and the capability and had another technologies to ward off missiles and reports that there were others in the area, how much can it handle is what im asking. 180 e200 missiles yesterday, and makes of missiles back in the spring, 300 plus. How does this work . How much can a Bite Off . And as working with the isr israelis, Fight Off . A. Grade to be with you. We have always thought about the tactic would be a Mass Attack trying to overwhelm of the system and we frankly saw that in april was a Drone Attack and reside again this week. The nice thing about it has been the umbrella intertwined umbrella if you will, is a layered defense of the system including the iron dome, including our ships off the coast and the Eastern Mediterranean protecting providing a productive umbrella over israel and defending assets. It is a multination, Multipronged Multisystem Shield if you will, and i know for 100 it worked as designed this week and saved thousands of lives. Neil you just wonder as well, you can help me with this about what it was able to ward off. All It Takes is one missile getting through. Get a couple of cases where it did get through. So how does how much is israel able to take on . If we double the normal missiles we have seen, woodley have been able to essentially shoot down all of them . I would say the systems are completely capable of Mass Attack as we have seen, i would say they are capable of from a Commander Control Standpoint of making the right decisions at which interceptor needs to be fired and which interceptor is the most dangerous to protected areas for those decisions are made realtime between the yarn dome system, in our Missile Defense systems. It is not shooting down every missile that is coming, is that many of them hit the ground by those decisions are made realtime between all the systems covering the israel. Neil it is a remarkable system to me, looks something out of a Star Wars movie. So i know the israelis are used to this, they have had this technology, but i do wonder, what its implications are if we had something like that . I know that Donald Trump was looking at the idea we should have something similar, of course be of much greater area to cover but what do you make of that . He went we do have a system, it is the Missile Defense system, with interceptors over alaska. And provides as of the umbrella of defense against intercontinental ballistic missile attacks from china or russia, and a very small silos. But that is the defense that our system has been designed to. Their system is much more closed and if you will in terms of being able to have to have it points Defense Systems like iron dome, like the system we have over there and patriot as well. Our homeland Defense System is what protects 330 Million americans today. Neil is it your sense right now that whatever the response is of the part of israel, clearly iran does not have this capability . So it would be a sitting deck for the sort of thing . Forward Territory Strikes . 100 sure. And i would just say one thing with a Drone It Defense in april, now this defense has bought a Policy Battle Space for policymakers to decide what is the correct response should be, why did the response should be and what not have thousands of casualties on the Ground Alr already. Neil all right, thank you for that. Helping people understand, it is amazing technology which saved a good many lives. We will have a quick break but i do want to talk about a big story, involving the former president Donald Trump, the judge in that case of course awarded a redacted version of the Special Counsels Jack Smiths filing to be made public and they are some developments here saying eight copperheads of narrative in the of the 2020 Election Conspiracy Case shows private criminal conduct on the part of Donald Trump. This is coming from special Counsel Jack Smith, is 165 pa pages, coming out of Smiths Office and a Details Behavior that smith insists is indeed criminal without a doubt. The argument flows from the supreme Courts Decision back in july when joy entered the former president immunity, pretty sweeping immunity, left open the possibility to prosecutors to go ahead and pursue Donald Trump for unofficial steps he took and to that end the prosecutions wrote in this redacted motion that is becoming public at its core, it is a private one, extensively using private augers and Campaign Infrastructure to attempt to overturn the Election Results and operated in a private capacity as a candidate for Office Work going on to say, he knew full well that his actions did not preside with what he was saying, even with the reductions at least together some interesting witnesses and others who told of the federal grand Journey And Fbi about Donald Trump and some disclosed evidence gathered into that process. We do not know where all of this goes, we do not know of this changes anything, this is something to the judge requested to be revealed to the public. Anything redacted to be revealed. This is coming in in volumes, 160 pages detailing what Jack Smith is saying is clearly Criminal Behavior that should be looked at. Turns out a good deal of this ultimately with this Immunity Case might not. We will have more, after this. Our grandchildren. Fisher Investments i understand. Thats why at Fisher Investments we start by getting to know Each Other. So i can learn about your family, lifestyle, goals and needs, allowing us to tailor your portfolio. wife what about Commission Based Products . Fisher Investments we dont sell those. Were a fiduciary, obligated to act in your best interest. husband so how do your Management Fees work . Fisher Investments we have a transparent fee, structured so we do better when you do better.

It looks like food, it smells like food, its what dogs are supposed to be eating. No Living Being should ever eat processed food for every single meal of their life. Its amazing to me how many people write in about their dogs changing for the better. The Farmers Dog is just our way to help people take care of them. [narrator] life with Ear Ringing sounded like a constant Train Whistle i couldnt escape. Then i started taking lipo flavonoid. With 60 years of clinical experience, its the number one doctor recommended brand for Ear Ringing. And now im finally free. Take back control with lipo flavonoid. Neil beer finally learning some of the redacted Material And Information special Counsel Jack Smiths filing, this is all born into the case of Donald Trump of the supreme Court Decision that effectively courted him off from any legal action he took as president proved even in the eyes of some critics of that decision, it would appear. The Supreme Court that was not the case, whether there are other developments that we are watching the Keg Part of the requirement here together as were dr. Diversion out there is that you hear special Counsel Jack Smith was coming from. Essentially he was saying that Donald Trump was resorting to crimes after the 2020 election and in these documents, goes into great detail as to his actions on January Sixth when the president quoting here, took to the stage to speak to supporters who were gathered there, heat new that Mike Pence Vice President has refused to use the defendants for argument this is coming from Jack Smiths office out of the time for the defendant referring to Donald Trump also note he had only one last hope to prevent Bytedance Certification as president , the large an angry crowd standing in front of him. For more than an hour the defendant delivered a speech designed to inflame supporters and motivated them to march on the capital. Donald trump said he was urging them to march peacefully, goes on to say that he said in the same rise he was telling for months privately and publicly, including to the officials in the targeted states and that he knew were not true. This is all in the eye of the beholder here, youre learning exactly this sort of Take A Byte to commotions Jack Smith already filed and looked into and the former president s behavior in those days about what what weeks before the inauguration of Joe Biden. Chewing on all of this, 165 pages, out now. Entirely unredacted, why do you make i cannot tell you neil can you hear us . Okay, there are other interesting features here. Although the defendant was the incumbent president during the charge conspiracies, this schema fundamentally goes back to this private one working with team of private coconspirators referring to Donald Trump acted as a candidate when he pursued multiple criminal means to disrupt, the Fraud And Deceit of the Government Function by which votes are connected and countered. A function which the president goes on to say, this is sort of the zingers that conclusion of that portion of the document, the defendant lost the 2020 election he resorted to crimes to try to stay in office for emphasizing here the Donald Trump himself, that was not the case, those who were angry about the election were free to express their reservations about her to. When the president claimed at the time of the election was rigged and the vote was unfair, it has since been proven in dozens after dozens of court and related rulings do not have been the case. The election was on rigged or stolen, it was proven time and again. Many people that debate this backandforth. Again, we will say whatever more we get on this we will pass it along to pick up Donald Trump of the timing of this, little more than five weeks away from the election, none of these revelations seem new just a better version of what was in there and why this supreme Court Decision that effectively shielded to the president from any sort of criminal charges, that may be over symbol of lying on my part. That sort of behavior would shield him from actions like these revelations that he should not be shielded from at all. Back and forth on this continues for a in the meantime while we are waiting for more legal guidance on this, with me than not waste me, i believe. Everyone she has not started yet appeared we are following that. We are also following a couple developments, both she and the president are visiting hardhit areas by this storm. Steve harrigan is in North Carolina, perhaps the hardest hit area from this storm, we are talking about Hurricane Helene. Steve . There is a real sense of desperation for Drinking Water and some of these smaller communities outside of asheville which have pretty much been Cut Off due to damaged bridges. The walls have been largely contaminated, keep in mind without running water, the schools cannot reopen. This process could be in trouble for weeks at a time, when you talk about people around here about what kind of help the are getting, what kind of outside aid is coming and, all we are seeing as volunteers, people helping Each Other. Most people say when you ask them, has anybody from the outside help them, almost universally so for one week into the storm, the answer has been no. We are not getting the amount of support we need right now. There are way more people impacted, way more people missing, definitely unfortunately way more people that are going to be found dead in the coming days as far as i believe. That prediction that there will be more dead found is when we are here and go over and over again keg of the Death Toll right now stands at 179 but in places like this complete Cut Off, volunteers have to go on Foot Door to door to see if Somebodys Dad or life. You think hear the numbers will keep climbing. Back to you. Neil thank you. Now in a gust a georgia. We were talking about damage in others states, jonathan . It is interesting to because augusta is relatively far inland yet you can see behind me, these trees, on this house here. The Vice President arrived in augusta more than an hour and a half ago. She is meeting with local Officials State and federal officials as well as first responders involved in the Disaster Response here in georgia. I am here in augusta to thank all of the focus down on the ground with this extraordinary work. And she is also getting a firsthand look at the extensive Damage Lien caused it to a community, so far inland trees have fallen on vehicles and houses including one home where 72yearold man and his 10yearold Greatgrandson lost their lives. Five days after the storm came through, the Augustine Area is still struggling with power outages, spotty Cell Phone Service, and a boil water advisory, simple things like public restrooms are a very hard to find. Many Gas Stations are closed. And made all of these disruptions, communities are pulling together. We have become very close with our neighbors of ten years, it sucks that It Takes a kind of disaster to make that happen but we are glad communities are helping Each Other out and we have a good community here. As a Vice President continues her torn i understand she is delivering comments, lets listen in. Okay. We await comments momentarily, you today, trucking gained 2500 gallons of gasoline to georgia, governor Brian Camp is temporally suspended of the State Gas Tax peak the idea is to minimize disruptions to the Fuel Supply and to keep Guys Prices relatively low during these initial weeks of the recovery. Neil thank you of a much, we are waiting to hear from the Vice President and the president as well. He is certainly touring battled battered areas. Also getting reaction from the Trump Campaign, special Counsel Jack Smiths unsealed filing right now, this is Trump Campaign spokesperson saying the release of the falsehood written, on constitutional January 6 Brief and immediately following Tim Walz disasters debated performance is another obvious attempt by the regime to interfere with his election. Jack smith quoting from the d. C. , radical democrats are hellbent on what isaac the justice department, President Trump is dominating and The Deep State is freaking out pick the entire case a partisan, unconstitutional Witch Hunt to that should be dismissed entirely with all the remaining Democrat Hoaxes pick this from a Trump Campaign spokesperson. All of this Back And Forth, the Unredacted Material Made Public from the investigation, from the Supreme Courts it a decision which said the action from president s action in office are untouchable. It is not that black and white, here to remind us it is now that black and white, we need to go to a lawyer who knows these things, is certainly an Anchor Reporting on these things for 20 make of this, 165 pages . Interesting elevations, any thing new . I think there is no question of this is Jack Smiths only real opportunity to try to bring this case to the eyes of the public before the election, is winning this robust rehashing all of these things about January Sixth and the aftermath that pertained to this end i command. At the end of the day, the Immunity Decisions about where the line is drawn for what conduct and what evidence can be used in a prosecution of a former president is still highly unprecedented. We have the initial ruling from the Supreme Court, this is a governments first attempt to argue why their indictment as amended should stand. The defense will have an chance to respond and the judge will make a ruling and if it is not favorable to the defense is immediately appealable before this case would make it to trial. This is just a last Ditch Effort in my opinion by Jack Smith to get these facts back out in front of the american people. Neil by getting it in front of the american people, saying essentially, and had to be out there appear, you had to see everything in there including the material that was redacted. Right . Well, there is certainly importance to focus on some of the facts to argue whether or not it is inside or outside the lines of official conduct. One of the reasons the issue with the Supreme Court came down so hard in the Defense Defense it was at the Megan Presi president was an office, essentially never really off duty. Said the line for what is official and unofficial is a very nuanced practice. There are certain things you can look at if there was a president in office and say they were accused of domestic violence, clearly an unofficial act. But when youre getting into active governments and conversations with other government officials, that will be a very Fine Line to walk keg the Supreme Court will ultimately be the ones who will decide what it is drawn before any of these cases can make it to a trial. Neil katie it sounds like in the case of Jack Smith, how he personally acted beyond being President Of The United States at the time, and the tiktok under the genuine six developments, when the documents referred to Donald Trumps Twitter Post focusing on the enraged mobs that were building eventually making its way to the capital and then raiding the capital, that trump would take action certainly to stop it but did not. Instead it agreed says that trump looked and said so what . Now disclosed in this brief. Are getting a more of a sense of why Jack Smith believes that was Donald Trumps thinking. You cannot get into Donald Trumps head on that but one of the things that you hear from the former president around the same time, at this issue with the Vice President Mike Pence, who was seeking to convince Donald Trump he had lost the election during key private lunch in midnovember 2020, for example, it said that mr. Mike pence suggested that he accepted and run again in the next president ial election but mr. Trump did not want to hear it. I dont know, 2024 is so far off it quotes him saying to. Going through that im thinking, okay, what is new here . He is interpreting the remarks coming from Donald Trump and i dont know if any of this is dooming before the former president or if this is enough to galvanize the public again for events that are now four years in the rearview mirror. What do you make about the significance of any of this, all of this . The one well. [chuckling] i think the fact that we are at this level of litigation that is so unprecedented shows the lawfare on the longer, this is something that has never been attempted before, in this many people to have a personal opinion about the conduct of trump that he should have done something differently. That is a far cry about what it is criminal especially under these very novel legal schemes, especially when you have a sitting president wears her conduct could be called into question really acrosstheboard. It is a Slippery Slope once you started criminalizing the conduct of the sitting president. It is the comments they made to the Magna Public that is part of their official duty, even if they are same Nt Nancy running for office. The line and that may be drawn here will be up to discussion what they have a tough job ahead of them, it is not just Donald Trump, it is about the future of the american presidency and there are many consequences that could come from saying that something could be used in a trial is criminally speaking for a sitting president that may not have been considered to because people were focused on former President Trumps conduct. Again to the criminality as of a creative Charging Scheme that was never tried before. Neil one of the things they have tried, the Grand Jury testaments, all other bunch of stuff, there is a pattern where the former president was told repeatedly he did not win the election, it was now rigged from all sorts of aids. We can only assume Donald Trump was not buying that, see if to provide proof of intent that he knew as a private citizen whether what he was doing was criminal and wrong. But not as well as something that is open to interpretation, right . I wonder where this goes. Frankly he is not obligated to believe anybodys opinion. He was in charge, certainly everybody has an opinion about whether there was or were not issues with the election and the criminality and of the line and which was crossing at an think is a very much larger question. So certainly to make the commentary about the matter in a conversation that took place in weather that applauds trump in a bad light, maybe that is the intent of this, but i think certainly the criminality of aids in the indictment in my opinion. Neil i wonder what it means here, Jack Smiths filing on Donald Trump specifically, it does not matter if you had won or loss to the election, you havent do fight like still. To bring to that End Zoom without up and get people to interpret it that, what does that mean to you . I think there has been a lot of conversation about whether it is lesserknown that somebody has lost an election, it is a bit more complicated than that especially in retrospect when there is a lot of information about whether it was truly a fair election. And of the day Donald Trump left office as planned without any sort of incident of some sort would suggest he was trying to maintain power. I think that really mirrors to his benefit here and the opinions he may or may not uphold about the fairness of the process i really is something that is not easily answered in a yes or no format in is a way that i think is some on the left and Jack Smith it certainly suggest. People with logical ways to respond to this. Neil when the Supreme Court ruled as it did, Jack Smith seemed to be saying that Donald Trump is not immune from prosecution on federal charges and in this case to overturn the election, he knew he lost. But i do not understand, is it any more relevant than if he had thought he won . We will run into problems with intent in many criminal cases, that is a big bird in the prosecution carries that he have to prove the actual criminal intent that he knowingly engage in certain conduct and that is part of including all of his conversations and there was art and messages related to him and he was, in fact, under the distinct precaution this was not the case. That may or may not be true. I think this indictment has a lot of those issues you are sitting on a criminal case that are difficult to overcome and you would need Circumstantial Evidence if you had any chance of proving them at all. In this case and think there are more questions years later that have come out about whether he legitimately did lose that election and that is a fair point for him to make, whether the courts agree with him or not and obviously if he did in fact leave office, he still may harbor those genuine beliefs heated not a fair delete that election. And that may run into problems for the prosecution in proving the intent ultimately. Neil you can stay there katie, going to go to Griff Jenkins for i would like to share more from this report for folks just tuning in. It is interesting about what this means now because Donald Trump in recent appearances has not set out right that he lost the election after all but he has mentioned that Joe Biden won from his Basement Guy paraphrasing, alluding to the possibility that he didnt lose. I do not want to say that out right because obvious is still can evince with propriety there were a lot of people who said, millions of more votes and i got last time, the fact of the matter that Joe Biden got millions of votes it more ready think this goes now . The one i think you put your finger on ebay question, i think we should know that as our team is Digging Page by page through this 165 Page Briefing Filing get, it is worth pointing out, you have a ride to the statement, the former president s attorneys, they needed more information about a candidate in a Court Filing to six weeks before the election would be unfair and could tip the scales. And the judge it on us is only have to release it today specifically. We know the trump attorneys believe October Tenth did File Something separate so here it is, now we have an, woods active summary from the Special Counsel Smiths Case against trump for charges i could survive. Remember Smith Refiled basically the same charges and are narrower scope you try to work around the immunity with the official Agate Spook i think this specific quote on page 75 really got to the heart of it, he says this, when the president took the stage, the January Sixth rally to speak to the supporters gathered there urging, he knew that if they have refused once and for all to use a defendants fraudulent certificates spook the defendant also knew he had only one last hope to provide certification as president , the large amendment the large crowd for more than an hour in from of him at. He delivered a speech to his supporters, now we wait and find out where this goes next. Neil thank you. Just to put this, column is seeking to now in georgia visiting Hurricane Damage big Jack Smith is laying out all of these arguments about the former president knew that his official act as president and as a private citizen where diametrically opposed and the Supreme Court does not forgive or condone such behavior. Again, were going to go through 165 pages, the former president says it was oddly timed after a Disaster Debate Performance on the part of Kamala Harris running mate. By that is neither here nor there, they think this is a waste of time. Kamala harris may make a reference, and likely as she is visiting georgia, lets listen in. I would like to acknowledge and thank the first responders who have been extraordinary having met with them, they are the kind of folks that are the heroes and moments of crisis, who do extraordinary work that is about lifting up other people. As it relates to particularly to the leaders who are here and in doing that work including the first responders, most of them as it relates to the local folks are folks who have personally and their families have personally experienced Loss And Devastation yet they leave their home, leave their family, to go to centers like where i was earlier to do the work of helping perfect strangers. And it really does highlight the nobility of that kind of work that these public servants have dedicated themselves to which can be in moments of crisis like this so selfless in the way that they do that work. The president and i have been paying close attention from the beginning to what we need to do to make sure the federal resources hit the ground as quickly as possible, and that includes what was necessary to make sure we provide direct federal assistance and that work has been happening. Of like to thank the governor for his leadership and his close coordination with the federal government it, with our administration, and i would like to thank the local leaders grading a Task Force like response knowing that we are at our best when we work together and coordinate resources, coordinate our communications, to the maximum effect for a community that has been imp impacted. And the federal Relief And Assistance that we have been providing the as included providing 750 Dollars for folks who need immediate Needs Bank messages food, Baby Formula and the like and you can apply now for anybody watching to those who has been affected, there are female personnel that are going door to door to interact personal folks, especially those without electricity and that a aid, if you have electricity can be applied for online. Basically verify your address and we are also providing Tens Of Thousands of more dollars for folks to help them be able to deal with home repair, to be able to cover a deductible win and if they have insurance and also hotel costs spook today im also announcing that the president has approved the governors request very a 100 federal reimbursement of local calls and then maynard, is a have pointed out, the burden to local governments including states government, it is pretty immense. So by announcing today and it making the dedicated resources to cover 100 of local costs, will have a huge impact on our ability to get relief to people as quickly as possible. That will include for example with the federal government of the reimbursed local and state governments around issues like Debris Removal which you can see, up and down this street, much less in other areas of the state and into the region. This is a big issue. We spoke to one of the residents of that community who needs that a bigotry removed, so she can get to work and make sure her child is able to get to schools when the schools reopen. This is a big part of the readout recovery process, that money of the federal reimbursement will help with Emergency Services now being provided by the state so they can be reimbursed and have their resources to keep providing those Emergency Services. Also we will be covering to the local Governments Cost for food, water and shelter, again, resources that are desperately needed by the members of this community. Semifinal points to the residence of this community and the region, we are here for the long haul, there is the work that we have done together and that was immediate response, preparation and then the immediate response after. But there is a lot of work that will have to happen over the coming days, weeks and months pick and the coordination that we have dedicated ourselves to will be longlasting to get family is, to get residents, to get neighborhoods back up and running and my last point is this. I think any of these moments of hardship, one of the beauties about who we are as a countrys people really rally together. And show the best of who they are in moments of crisis. We have seen throughout the region, communities coming together, or people are helping the perfect strangers, where they are providing food, water, shelter for their neighbors and that neighbor may be somebody they have never met before. But they are doing the work of helping Each Other out, anything it really highlights the fact that the vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us, and that the best of the strength of who we are his you have come to each Others Aid in a time of need so i think everybody for doing that kind of work every day. With that, there is more work to be done. We thank all. On the people who are missing . I did receive updates in terms of whats happening in this day, so far the number was 33, the mayor was staying with me seven alone in Aug Augusta County pig the numbers are coming and, part of the challenge of being accurate at this moment is there are still many areas that are remote, also rural areas, areas and not easily accessible. So the assessment of the damages being down across the board. Of quasihighest priority is to locate determine individuals, people in need, making sure we get to them as quickly as possible. Neil all right, it taking on more question for Kamala Harris, visiting augusta, George Pirie she referred to the seven killed in that neck of the woods, 33 in asheville, North Carolina. 170 the latest count of those killed, still hundreds missing. We will follow that, President Biden will be in North Carolina visiting a lot of the damage they are. Also in south carolina. Of ten estates caught up in this incredibly horrific storm, that did its most damage when it wasnt even a hurricane anymore but had serious floods and Storm Surges of 2 feet or more pick the damages artie estimated to be in the many billions of dollars with a lot of folks still missing. Other stories we are following as well including these developments, legal issues for the former president Donald Trump, the justices filed a new evidence of the 2020 Election Case against him, so this is essentially a waste of time. The requirement was today that they can release those 165 Page Motion that was filed by a special Jack Smith, you remember him, relating to Donald Trumps immunity claims against criminal Prosecution Reference to overturn the election. This was complicated by the Supreme Court ruling, earlier this summer that Donor Trump was indeed entitled to immunity Quote Official acts undertaking while he was in office. This is where the doj draws a sharp distinction claiming the alleged Criminal Behavior was not a part of his official duties as president and therefore open for prosecution. When the defended, quoting Jack Smith loss of 2020 election he resorted to crimes to try to stay in office and that of course was a kind of stuff that cross way beyond his role as a president to behaving in ways that aware according to Jack Smith, criminal. With coconspirators, the defendant launched a series of increasingly desperate plans to overturn the legitimate Election Results and it states he has lost big this will seem familiar, we are just getting more of the Background And Trot drama of course a lot of his supporters came to washington, these stormed of the capital, whatever your impressions of what happened that day, it was on a picnic and it was not a meet and greet. Anyway, we have the governor of the beautiful state of new hampshire, i do not think he intended to [inaudible] a. Neil what are your thoughts . A lot of this is old news, the timing is interesting. The former president s people are saying right after this they claim Disasters Performance by the democratic Vice President ial candidate, in the eye of the holder as well, why do you think . Going back to last and there was no question about the tr trials, there wasnt even a discussion because i dont want to say folks have moved on but there is so many questions around, the rays cases were not handled very well, this is adding more color to it. And there is a lot of skepticism there is a political Movement Motive with the Jack Smith neil it did come off A Little Bit last night, j. D. Vance going they were trying to corner him. Right. Whether the election was stolen and all. But this is old news to a lot of people, maybe there is new color on it, maybe change peoples thoughts, i do not know for somebody, January 6 is a huge priority, does qualifier, those folks are committed to voters. They are one camp or the other. The eight e10 of swing voters, this is not a Priority Issue and therefore adding more color to an older issue, i dont want to minimize it. They will find out the validity as is goes on down the road. But in terms of the voter aspect, and think it has a very minuscule moving of the members. Looking at the top issues its about the border, costo costofliving, the international crises happening to, world stability, in the drug crisis, these are the top issues people are worried about and rightly so. And where those points are at, i think that is the value of it happened last night. We really heard Policy Decisions and Policy Philosophy from both of these camps from the first time in a coherent way, cordial Way Neil yes, a lot of people who watch this said if only the president ial candidates could be this cordial to one another. It is neither here nor there. I think pretty much everybody says that. [chuckling] neil where does this go . Not necessarily moving the needle but they can sense a direction or continue eight direction, what is it . Two Sanga Schedule the direction is definitely favoring trump, three debates, second debate was not very good for the former president , this one was great for his team. No question. Do they have the discipline to take the Win And Move forward . There will be very significant issues at the Bidenharris Administration will deal with, the Vice President in georgia, getting out there, and think there is a lot of questions about the president delaying going down and visiting for the first couple of days for a whether it is Hurricane Helene or the Sport Crisis which i think will only get worse that will be a big one. Port crisis we are you surprised that biden has not intervened the weight he coded . It terrible, terrible move. Neil what does that mean . He knows by taking that pos position, he puts his Vice President leadership solves problems, hes not there to provide the answer where you can force people to the table back that leverage that the President Of The United States carries to make sure there is a positive resolution. If this goes on flattering Go On And on, itll be a problem in terms of fuel prices, temporary inflationary costs, that will be a real problem. Of course we have 200 ballistic missiles shot out of the air, that iranian crisis is just getting worse and worse. Neil waiting to see israels response, this administration is saying we have approved yesterday they helped knock down a lot of missiles that came into israel but it only goes so far, in the relationship we are told is still tense. We saw have a Couple View thousand troops in that neck of the woods, 40,000 4000, where do you think this is going . No results anytime soon, biden has not shown any will of leadership bringing any real resolution. He talk a good game, saying we are working on a peace agre agreement, always said i was not the case. They are very much floundering. The original question, does trump have the discipline to take these win, not step on any toes and issues that biden has a hard time managing and they will have to have a solution but they dont seem to be doing that. He saw the Vice President taking questions, from a political standpoint, are not know what her team was thinking, missed out an amazing opportunity to take questions and show leadership, she took one question. Susie i thought about her, one of the things you can talk about whatever your views of j. D. Vance, he will talk to anybody and anyone, friendly and unfriendly, mostly unfriendly journalists. I am sure that prepared him for last night, and you said art is that the vigor of the challenge of being in the game. I wonder where you see theres going in your state of new hampshire, for example, it is pretty tight . It is tight, i think Kamala Harris is winning more resources on the ground. It will be within one or two points either way. No doubt that these campaigns are focusing on a pennsylvania, North Carolina, georgia and it maybe A Little Bit of wisconsin and arizona. That is where the race is, yes Vice President ial Debate Survey on consequential but maybe A Little Bit to neil great seeing you, i threw a lot of you make at you but you handled it very well in the meantime, referring to the supPort Strike, billions on the line here, 50,000 Shipyard Workers on the east coast, striking right now. This could go down, brian has more, hello brian. Hello, every day this Port Strike happens is another six days pick up just six days of Shipping Backlog Spook if this Port Strike it gets into weeks if not months, we are talking get serious issues with Supply Chain at a time where you can have multiple states hard hated by Hurricane Helene. Not only do you have those communities now in desperate need of supplies to rebuild and things like food, you also have forms in those areas that have been damaged, particularly call in and Pecan Farm spook the Food Industry Association said with a Dog Workers a clause the 36 ports jeopardizes food Supply Chains, anything from seafood, produce, meet and even nonfood things like pharmaceuticals. In a statement they said there is never a good time for a strike, now the current strike is compounding the horrific situation in the Southeastern United States resulting from Hurricane Helene and parties need to return to the Negotiating Table spook the strike not only threatens to rise, raised the prices of food and other items, you could also have a Ripple Effect across the whole community. The whole economy, excuse me. The president of the Ila Union has it donated 100,000 to the American Red Cross to help with the Hurricane Helene efforts but make no mistake of the union knows they have plenty of leverage with what is happening with Hurricane Helene and obviously being about one month away from the election. We will see. Right now, no signs this strike is ending with the spirited group behind me. Neil does not sound that way, honor to have you with us, governor don, beautiful state of virginia. So the governor, back on september 26th, could me if im wrong, you had written a letter to President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris urging them to do everything they could to prevent the union a strike from happening and that would require swift action and a swift resolution to avoid a strike. That did not happen, what did you think . No. No, it did not pick it is now causing real economic heartache and damage, not just in virginia but across the whole country. And acquires we have anywhere between five and 6000 Port Workers plus truckers who are now not working the, we have 60 vessels off the coast not unloading or picking up and that is just virginia. The economic devastation that this strike can cause is 5 Billion a day, as you heard up of a week of Supply Chain interruption for every day for striking. Let me put that into context for the critical Supply Chains being interrogative interrupted, everything from pharmaceuticals to the supplies for our 90 Fax Drink Industry are saying get a potential disruption that we have not seen since the covid19 outbreak. You will see inflation as a result and we will see americans and particularly in the southeast further hurt by this strike that when in fact we are already suffering from the dramatic impact is a Hurricane Helene. President biden and Com Lawmac can fix this, they should have fix this ahead of time. We have finished our negotiations as a local level, between local workers and local shippers back in the summertime, no progress made as a national level into the summer and fall. They should have convened to everybody and kept them in a room until this was resolved. The now have authority to get everybody back to work and have a Coolingoff Period and reach an agreement. But we cannot have this kind of Supply Chain interruption in virginia on the east Coast And Gulf coast, for america, and we economically devastating if they do not get it resolved quickly. Neil does not look like it could be, that is 1947 acumen to address crises like these and it gives the both sides about 80 days in this case to sort of sort out whatever differences there might be. For his workers back to the ports to continue working as an air presumably working on a settlement. The Back And Forth on this is that this is going to add to the price pressures, the possibility of focus getting packages delayed if not denied, a Santa Claus is upset about this i understand because a lot of his stuff is on those trips. Where does this go . Yeah, well, first of all, it is a Leadership Gut Check for the president and the Vice President , and if Biden And Harris cant get together and get this done, i think its just another moment for americans to see that failure in leadership does cost chaos. We have seen failure in leadership in building an economy and they unleashed inflation on everyone. Youve seen failure in leadership at the border that has turned every state into a border state. We have seen failure in leadership internationally which has resulted in iran attacking israel yesterday. Chaos in china and taiwan. And of Course War in ukraine, and now we are seeing Failure Leadership unleashing further economic hardship on america that is so unnecessary. Its time to lead, and we need the Bidenharris Administration to step up. Neil governor, i would be remiss if i didnt talk about the devastation your state has experienced from hurricane hilly in, it is pretty substantial, i believe earlier you said a number of communities have simply washed away. What is the latest . Yeah, so, it has been absolutely devastating to the entire southeast and in southwest virginia. We had tragic Life Loss with two virginians but 70 her look rescues by our first responders. Today we are working hard to get electricity restored, Cell Phone Service restored, Food And Water to everyone, and to make sure people have the basic necessities of a warm place to sleep, a warm meal, a shower, and access to all of the medical care they need. This is a big step. We were granted an Emergency Declaration from the federal government over the weekend and then a major Emergency Declaration late yesterday and into this morning, so between our State Resources and the federal resources, and the incredible efforts at the local level, we are doing everything we can to help people recover. It is going to be a long recovery. Our hearts are breaking for what we are seeing in North Carolina and georgia, particularly, as i know there are so many people still yet identified. Our searchandrescue teams are heading out to help, but this is a massive, massive storm that caused intense damage, and this is a time for us to come together. Just like virginians have, in order to help one another. The character of a community is shown during times of duress, and the character of virginians has really brought me to my knees in thankfulness for what they have demonstrated. Neil governor youngkin, very good having you on. Thank you for taking the time. To the governors point, 170 people are dead. Many more missing. Here the five. Dana hello, everyone
