You cant not win. And i got millions of more votes than that, and lost by a whisker. That was Donald Trump appearing to finally concede that he lost the 2020 election. Well see if he backtracks on that and get more from that interview, which took place less than a week before the first president ial debate between the former President And Vice president harris. Also ahead well go through the department of justices indictments of six senior Hamas Leaders for the October 7th terror attacks in israel. And meanwhile, israelis continue massive protests over the killings of six hostages in gaza demanding a Ceasefire Deal and blaming prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for their deaths. Good Morning And Welcome to way Too Early on this wednesday, september 4th. Im jonathan lemire. Thanks for starting your day with us. Well begin this morning with the department of justice, which has charged six senior leaders of hamas with terrorism and other crimes in connection to the October 7th attacks on israel. Among the indicted is the terror groups newly appointed political head. In a News Release the doj identified the defendants as the senior leaders of hamas who have played a key role in overseeing a decades long campaign of terrorism including on October 7th. The department filed the complaint under seal in february to try to give the united states time to take Hamas Thenleader into custody. That Leaders Death in July And Other Developments lessened the need for secrecy, and the complaint was unsealed yesterday. Meanwhile, in Tel Aviv large groups of protesters continue to call on prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a Ceasefire Deal and bring home the remaining hostages. Thousands took to the Street Yesterday for the third straight day. Among the demonstrators were relatives of hostages who delivered angry speeches. These protests started anew after the israeli military announced that six hostages were killed by their captors as troops were closing in on their location in gaza. Many are now blaming netanyahu for their deaths saying this is a result of the prime minister not agreeing to a Ceasefire Deal. And this weekends killing of those hostages, which included one Israeli American has added a new urgency to the White Houses efforts to try to end the fighting in gaza. White house national Security Spokesman John Kirby told Reporters Yesterday that the deaths of the hostages underscores how important it is to get a deal done quickly. Kirby says the White House is working on a new and final proposal, but he refrained from describing it as a Take It Or Leave it concept. According to the Wall Street journal, White House officials with knowledge of the proposal say this version is expected to be more detailed with specifics as to how the Hostage Prisoner Swap will work. What could trigger a restart in hostilities, and how long israeli officers can remain in the philadelphi corridor, staying along that narrow strip of land on the gazaegypt border has become a main Sticking Point for netanyahu. He says that troops need to be in that corridor to prevent hamas from smuggling in more weapons into gaza. Joining us now national Security Reporter for politico, erin banko. Good to see you this morning. You and have teamed up on a story about how the of the hostages has really complicated efforts to secure this elusive Ceasefire Deal. Tell us the latest here. What are the complications, and whats the overall mood . The u. S. Israeli officials think that at some point, any point soon a deal could get done . The main fear that u. S. Officials and israeli officials who we spoke to have sort of put forward is that theyre just basically worried that the killing of the hostages over the weekend will only escalate tensions between israel and hamas, potentially stalling the talks for some time. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu haS Publicly vowed revenge for those killings, and many inside the biden administration believe that he will follow through with that promise in the coming days and that fighting on the ground in gaza is set to get much worse this week. And obviously those tensions on the ground will then translate into increased tensions at the Negotiating Table. At least thats the Worry And Fear among the officials whom we spoke to. Now, this is very different rhetoric from what weve been hearing, you know, in the last month or so from both u. S. And israeli officials about the deal. If you remember several weeks ago President Biden and his top national security aides went as far as saying were very, very close to a deal, we might have something, please standby and the all the reporters and public really were waiting to see what the details of that deal were. They basically said theres just a few small things we need to work out and we should have something. And now what were hearing from the administration is that no deal anytime soon. There are still massive challenges and hurdles to be worked out. Yeah, and we just noted massive, massive pressure on Netten Hooto get something done. That Corridor Netanyahu says he wants to maintain an idf presence, not only will hamas not go for that but likely neither will egypt. And talk to us more about the belief in the administration, whether netanyahu really wants a deal at all. Certainly as we noted President Biden himself haS Privately become very skeptical. Theres a feeling inside the biden administration among top aides to President Biden and national Security Advisor Jake sullivan that Benjamin Netanyahu does not want a deal anytime soon. I think thats been a feeling inside the administration for some time. Now, despite that officials inside the administration have said we still think a deal iS Possible. Thats what they were telling us, again, throughout the last month or so. But that tone of voice and that sort of change of rhetoric has been more apparent in the recent hours after the killing of the hostages. Now what were hearing is this is going toby a tougher slog than we originally thought. You mentioned the philadelphi corridor. That has been a main Sticking Point in the deal for some time though not publicly talked about much. And one of the main players here often thought spoken about is ejimt, as you mentioned. Egypt is a huge player in these negotiations. Egypt needs to be onboard with whatever the u. S. And israel and whatever representatives at the Negotiating Table come up with because that corridor runs along the egyptian border. And so one of the main questions is who is going to operate that Border Crossing under this new deal . Israel wants either a third Party Security Contractor to come in and run that, that crossing, or they want to be in charge of that crossing, and that is just a No Go for hamas. And egypt is somewhere in the middle. And i think whatever iS Put on paper regarding that crossing, its going to be very tough to overcome for both israel and hamas. Yeah. And certainly the tenor of the talk certainly more pessimistic in recent days. National reporter for politico, erin banco, thanks for starting us off. We appreciate it.

The youngest son of the late senator John Mccain is now endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president. Jimmy mccain says the incident last week involving Donald Trumps Campaign Staff at Arlington National Cemetery convinced him to switch affiliation from an independent to a democrat and now support harris this fall. Mccain, who recently returned from deployment at a Military Base in jordan, said trumps campaign violated a sacred place by taking photos and video in an area where they are normally prohibited. Arlington cemetery is sacred to all people who have all people who are members of the military, all people who have served in uniform. Its a sacred area. Theres three generations of mccains that are buried there. Its a violation because these rules are set in place. The people that are buried there dont have an opinion. The point of Arlington Cemetery is to go and show respect to the men and women who have govern their lives to this country. When you make it political, you take away theerment of the people who are there. Meanwhile, long time democratic strategist James Carville has a new Opinion Piece in The New York Times with the headline Kamala Harriss best strategy to defeat trump. Carville writes in part, there are three imperatives ms. Harris must pursue successfully to become the certified fresh candidate at the Ballot Box in november. Number one, help mr. Trump hurt himself in the debates. In the September 10th debate, ms. Harris must enable exactly what his campaign is scared to death of letting Trump Be trump. She should let him talk over her, not just let him but goad him into spouting insane Conspiracy Theories about the previous election. Number two, break from President Biden on policy. For ms. Harris to break from mr. Biden more explicitly than she has done so far would not be an insult to his legacy. Rather, it shows even more sharply that she iS Passionate about her own ideas and represents change rather than more of the same. Number three, display a clear Growth Mindset from the 2020 democratic primaries. The rhetoric can be simple, i learn from my time governing in the White House. These are my positions, Take It Or Leave it. Elsewhere a federal judge has denied trumps second attempt to move his New York hush Money Case to federal court. Trump argued that the State Judge presiding over the criminal case, juan merchan, is biased against him and that the u. S. Supreme courts immunity ruling back in july offers a valid federal defense for the hush Money Case. A u. S. District judge rejected both of those arguments yesterday. In response trumps attorneys filed a notice of appeal late Last Night. Judge merchan has scheduled trumps sentencing for september 18th, rapidly approaching. The former president was found guilty on 34 Felony Counts earlier this year of falsifying Business Records to conceal payments to adult Film Actress stormy daniels. And trump, who is known for his often controversial presence on social media, to say the least is now admitting in a new interview that he sometimes regrets what he posts on his official page. Yeah, i do, i mean but not that often, honestly. I do a lot of reposting. The ones you get in trouble with the reposts because you find down deep theyre into some group youre not supposed to be reposting. You dont know if those groups are bad or different, but the reposts are ones that really get you in trouble. When you do your own words, its different. But the reposts go quickly.
