Who was on board a helicopter that crashed or had a hard landing earlier today. It was described both ways. A rescue way should operation underway. In just a few moments ago, we received pictures showing the helicopter with the president on board when they were taking off today. Again, it has not been seen since. There is been weather in the other area. Lets go to josh letterman. We no anything concrete about his condition and who was on board the helicopter. We note the Foreign Minister of the country who is a significant character was also on board the helicopter. We dont no his status just like we dont no the status of the president. We have heard from a rons Supreme Leader who is ultimately the Decision Maker in iran who has released a statement who said people should pay pray for the well being and the safe return of the president and the Foreign Minister. He says everybody should stay calm reassuring and nation that the work of the country will go on unimpeded. We are in a Holding Pattern waiting the status of the individuals on board what should the coming at some point and it has been hours since the helicopter went to the ground in what was described variously as a hard landing or a crash. We no that dozens of rescue teams are now trying to get to the site if not there already. There are searchers standing nearby and really the entire Emergency Response apparatus of the country if they are able to find them. Right now the government of iran is tightlipped as we learn about the face face of Ebrahim Raisi and other Foreign Ministers. , came down in a densely forested area that is relatively remote making access challenging in these conditions. I no you will stay on top of it if you hear anything. Joining me is peter baker for the white house as the chief correspondent. Depending on how this plays out, are there implications . This is a fellow who was a protigi of the Supreme Leader and seen as a potential successor and a hardliner of the religious government. I think you will see consternation in a rack as it faces increasing isolation with their arab neighbors and israel in the united states. And weeks ago i ran fired drones and missiles which were knocked down. It was an embarrassment that no one could strike the targets that they were firing at. Depending on whether he is found alive or not, it will tell us a little bit about where iran goes from here. We no the president who is On Route To Detroit for dinner and a Campaign Stop with the naacp, he came out and let them know that. How closely will the white house be watching the developments. Considering this is the president of iran and a hardliner. Is there any influence that the president would have. When i say the president , i mean Ebrahim Raisi. He is part of the governing class and the Supreme Leader is still the one who makes the decisions with pursuit of Nuclear Weapons and so on. It is not the same as having the president of another country at risk. It is still an important position in iran. It is a reminder that we are seeing an ayn rand that has aligned itself. It has aligned itself increasingly with russia and china at a time when war is going on in ukraine and providing weapons and munitions and at the same time russia providing compensation in the other direction and we are not entirely sure what that may be in it may be of great concern to the white house. Iran is at the top of the american radar screen right now in terms of countries it is paying attention to as potential threats. We will talk about the u. S. President in just a moment. Then we go to decision 2024 is the president gives a direct message to College Students since the start of the israel and hamas war. He gave this at Morehouse College in atlanta. Take a listen. What happens in gaza and what rights and policy the people have, im working to make sure we get a Two State Solution, the only solution for the people to live in peace. It is one of the hardest and most complicated problems in the world and there is nothing easy about it. I no it angers and frustrates many of you including my family. Most of all, i no it breaks your heart and it breaks mine as well. Joining me now from atlanta, tell me about the president s address and whether there was criticism from graduates about the war in gaza. Reporter one thing i can tell you is there was criticism that began even before President Biden took the stage. As students and faculty members came in, you could see some of them wearing propalestinian garments. Whether a flag or a traditional scarf to send a message to President Biden. Even when President Biden was on the stage, the valedictorian called for a permanent cease fire and a prayer for humanity all over the world. There was a clear message here and even asked President Biden during his remarks reedit his support for a Two State Solution and more aid into gaza, there were students in the crowd with a silent protest. The morehouse president told them that you have a right to protest but do it in a way that is not disruptive. There was a generational shift in regards to the reception to biden. You saw older alumni embrace the message in the way that some students would not. One student explained that a little bit, take a listen. As you can see, there was quite the divide. You had alums standing and cheering and they were happy because they understand the state of the 2024 election in november and you had students that check the post that with belief in social issues. We are a large part of the Jin Z Population with students that did not stand up and clap their hands. The message you heard toward the end of the soundbite when you talk about the school having the younger jen z students who talked about the students. He sharpened his message even though it was a Campaign Event and to address young voters because of the issues. So, younger students didnt seem to open. The students we spoke to said words are one thing and i hope President Biden will follow it up with actions. Understood. Now lets go to peter baker. Im going to go to split screen because we are seeing President Biden and former president trump. Biden given a Commencement Speech at morehouse while trump picks up his third nra endorsement. Talk about the visual. Both playing to the base of their party right now. President biden with unusual weakness among black supporters who were strong for him in 2020 but not according to the polls now. He had 90 of the black vote in 2020 and his Approval Rating according to some surveys is down to 55 . He desperately needs to make sure that they are on board with him if he wants to win in the south. And donald trump plays to the Republican Coalition strongly. He wants their support that he supports gun control and he has positioned himself strongly. But the current and former president s are paying playing two core constituencies. What are you making to donald trump who not factually said that nra voters and Gun Owner Owners do not vote. Where would that come from and why would he say it . I guess it is his way to motivate them to turn out. He often talks off the top of his head and someone may have said something to him. He often presents things that are not facts. He needs them in great numbers and is trying to challenge them by saying dont stay at home. Your rights are at stake and joe biden is not your friend. An interesting strategy at a time when the nra has less and less influence. The organization hobbled by its own internal problems. It does not command the power in washington that it once did. Gun rights supporters are still important to a president ial nominee. And now lets Focus On Biden and the Warning Signs for his campaign. For the 2020 campaign, 90 of black women and 80 of black men voted for President Biden. This year, 55 say they approve of his job performance. Do you get the sense the Biden Campaign is legit worried about the black vote . If so, what is the strategy to shore it up . I think they are legit worried. The voters may not go to trump but even if they stay home, thats a problem for the president especially in key states like georgia and michigan and so on. In addition to the numbers that you just showed, and apathy or discontent with the black voters, i think 72 participated in the last election. 22 right now say they plan to vote. That fall off in turnout can make a difference in the tightly contested states right now. You are right he is trying to motivate them and thats why he picked Morehouse College to give an address. Thats why he will speak to the naacp and why he is Touching Base with the voters. He said to the graduating seniors today, check my record. The longstanding histories of supporting concerns of black voters another issues. He is making a case to the Younger Generation who doesnt remember his record and doesnt impact the way they see things going in the future. Lets go back to the way donald trump communicates. This is ahead scratcher but what he said at the nra convention. Lets take a look. He actually challenged me. You no, we will have debates with him. I think we are going to. He is still looking for the white stuff found in the white house. It never arrived, and never arrived. They cant find it. Everybody thought it was for hunter. So he went off on that tangent but we will keep it straight here. Who, potentially, risks more versus gaining more with the debates . It is in an interesting choice for both candidates. Usually the candidate who is weakest is more eager to get on stage to change the dynamics. In this case, both seem eager to get on stage and both have weaknesses to address. President trump may be a convicted felon depending on what happens at the court in new york and if that happens, he wants to change the subject and look like a candidate and not a convicted criminal. For present biden who is weaker at the polls, particularly in the swing states, they want to remind voters they may be disenchanted with biden that there is donald trump. They may not be happy with inflation or think President Biden is too old , but the only option is donald trump. If they didnt like him in 2020, theyre not going to like him in 2024.

Ahead of what could be a pivotal week and Donald TrumpsHush Money Trial, the president spent his time outside the courthouse to rally gun supporters. Jake, what have we heard from the former president . Reporter former President Donald Trump spoke at the nra convention. Despite the fact that legally the former president cannot purchase a firearm because he faces multiple Felony Indictments across many cases, he was quick to bring this up. Comparing his legal woes to those of gun owners. Having their rights pulled away by the radical left. This is a strategy of the former president to take his legal complications in the courtroom and somehow compare them to the issues voters are facing as he speaks at the campaign rallies. He also spoke about his gag order mentioning the fact that it is a Lightning Rod for supporters to galvanize. The way he is restricted and not able to speak at the campaigns the way he would like to. Take a listen. There is probably no judge in history like this guy and he refuses to recuse himself. Im able to talk about things although i do have a gag order. I cannot talk about the things that i want to talk about because what i talk about is just on the surface. Because they want to put me in jail, can you believe it . That may be The Last Time we hear from the former president at a Campaign Event for a verdict is reached in his criminal Hush Money Trial. And then closing arguments could be as too soon as tuesday. Okay, jake, thank you so much for that. Then we will get to the search for a rans president who was on board a helicopter that crashed today, what do you no . We are getting information from the executive Vice President of iran speaking on state television. They have made contact with two people on board the helicopter. Those two people on the helicopter have made contact with rescue forces. They are not disclosing what they have learned so far and the question everybody has is what is the status of president raisi and others on board. According to the Vice President , he said that the helicopter took off at 1 00 p. M. And by 1 30, contact was lost. There were two other helicopters in the convoy with the president of iran that searched. According to the Vice President , those helicopters searched for the one that hit the ground. At this point, we dont have information about whether they were able to locate the helicopter or what happened with the other two helicopters. We are hearing from the red crescent in iran which is essentially their equivalent of the red cross that they are approaching the site they believe to be the site of the incident. If they reach the sites, potentially we could learn more in the coming minutes and hours. Lets go over who was on board. I dont have the numbers. With this helicopter that has gone down in this convoy, this particular helicopter had president raisi and the Foreign Minister and i governor as well and the friday prayers leader of the city with several other passengers. We dont no the complete number of passengers, but clearly there was a level of leadership on board. You say it is the executive Vice President who is speaking on Iranian State tv. Again, reiterate that two people have been contacted. Have they been giving anymore about their conditions . Not necessarily names, but we know those people are okay . Is there description beyond that . No description. The only thing we can infer is the fact they were able to speak by phone with the authorities and it indicates they are still alive and at least conscious. Beyond that, we dont have information. This executive Vice President is the figure who, if it turned out that present tiki 20 raisi were dead, he is the one who would take over according to a rons constitution and then they would call for an election within 50 days. This is a key figure who will be involved in responsible for the continuity of government in the coming days as we work out exactly what happened to the president and Foreign Minister, these key leaders in the government. And mrs. All happening in the last few minutes. Keep us updated. By the end of this week, Donald Trumps fate in his Hush Money Trial could be in the hands of jurors as they finish questioning Michael Cohen. Then, the jury could begin deliberating by the end of this week. 20 me now is a bloomberg reporter. Its good to have you back and together in a great pairing here. What, patricia, have you been expecting when Court Returns tomorrow. You have seen this from start to finish, how do you expect it to play out tomorrow . We expect froms lawyers to finish their cross examination. A couple of good points on Michael Cohen trying to undermine his story that trump with the payments to Stormy Daniels and that he was in on the loop and approving the payment that was made to Stormy Daniels. There was some indication that maybe Michael Cohen was confronted with the text that he was complaining about a 14yearold spamming and prank calls rather than talking to trump himself, as he claimed. Then we get to the redirect where the prosecutors clean it up and go back through the story. The big picture and this is where reality is regarding the case right now. By this time next week, donald trump could be a convicted felon or a newly acquitted man with complete exoneration. Equally challenging scenarios. Based on what you have seen and heard
