Its Benjamin Netanyahu bluffing. And two in a row for uconn, the huskies taking home another mens ncaa doublet title all. Right. 5 00 a. M. Here in washington, heres a live look at downtown nash bill. Weve got some news. There from morgan wallen. I prayed news honestly. Its a pretty shot early early on this Tuesday Morning. Good morning, everyone. Im casey haunts its wonderful to have you with us this morning. Special counsel, jack smith is urging the Us Supreme Court to reject former President Trumps claims of immunity and to deny the former president any opportunity to delay his federal election Subversion Trial Smith told the court in a filing, the framers never endorsed criminal immunity for a former president and all president s from the founding to the modern era have known that after leaving office, they faced potential criminal liability for official acts meanwhile, a New York StateAppeals Court denying Donald Trumps latest attempt to delay his criminal hush, money trial. The former president petition the court to postpone the trial, claiming that A Change Of Venue was needed because he couldnt get a fair trial in new york. That has been shot down for now. Trumps legal team also filed a petition objecting the gag order imposed by judge juan merchan arguments on that are expected today and Jury Selection is set to begin on monday. Joining me now is michelle price, National Political reporter for the associated press. Michelle, good morning. Thank you so much for being here so lets start there with Jury Selection coming up here. For in the Hush Money Trial on monday, we expect they keep attempting to try to delay this, but it does seem at this point like we are going to see the first former president United States, actually go on trial here. What do we know about how thats going to play out . We did again, this weve seen President Trump in court. If youd for President Trump in quite a few times weve got to remember how a momentous this will be on monday. He will be on criminal trial. This will still be very unprecedented as far as Jury Selection by president for President Trumps lawyers have argued that he cant get a fair shake in manhattan. That the city would be biased against him and the prosecutors here argued that the publicity in this case is all been at Donald Trumps own postings and attention. He is ginned up for this trial the folks who theyre hoping to find a seat. This jury that theyre going to be asked to basically set aside their views and just judge on the facts of the case. And the district attorneys offices, they have data shows when people say theyre willing to set that aside and that they can impartially, judge this case. Yeah. Its a tricky reality when donald trump is a former president who is also so ubiquitous in new york culture. Weve got to look yesterday at the Jury Selection questionnaire. It was put out by the courts and some of the questions that theyre asking what kind of media do you read . Where do you get your news . That list of some of the papers and this organization is on that list. Theyre asked whether anyones ever worked for trump company, whether theyve ever been to a trump rally, whether theyve ever supported q. And on the proud boys or antifungals theres also a fun one that asks whether theyve ever listened to Michael Cohens podcast or the podcast from new york prosecutor what do these questions tell you about what theyre looking for and it looks like theyre looking for political activity here or political information that is coming into these jurors. But also misinformation and some of those are sources of missing cue in on is a conspiracy theory. If youre getting your information from random Internet Posters who said they have a secret theory of everything. There may be a question about whether you could be an impartial juror in this case, about what the government is presenting to you. Lets talk for a second about the Supreme Court and immunity. Lets just remind everyone what donald trump said earlier this year about why he believes immunity is required. Watch this do you have to have a guaranteed immunity for president otherwise, the president is not going to be able to function theyre not gonna move. Harry truman would not have done harry truman would not have done hiroshima and nagasaki you know, you have to allow a president to do his job. Theyll make decisions so the Special Counsel, jack smith, directly disagrees. He writes, quote, the effective functioning of the presidency does not require that a former president be immune from accountability for these alleged violations of federal criminal law. To the contrary, a Bedrock Principle of our Constitutional Order is that no person is above the law including the president. At what are the stakes here i mean, this this is all these cases that hes facing. This is everything underpinning these cases and its also just a fundamental question. Mission as special Prosecutor Jack Smith lays out there about america that no one is above the law. This is kind of a given in our political system and this would be really tested with the Supreme Court when it takes up these arguments two weeks. What are you looking for from the court because again, were going to hear these arguments and as you know, that theyre set for the week after donald trump is set to go on trial in his first criminal trial, we do sometimes get a sense of which way the court is going on. These when we get a chance to hear that this one seems like a real toss up sitting here and thinking about it. Yeah, i think some of the questions would we would want to listen for if the justices are asking questions about where does that immunity stop . Is it total immunity is what, what is it actions taken as president . Is it after leaving office . Could it affect the documents case . Could it affect the january 6 case . Could it even affect this case in manhattan that has nothing to do with his time in office, but he has tried to delay the manhattan trial over the looming Supreme Court case. The question is about what kind of scenarios are they asking about . Where does this end . One of his attorneys was arguing earlier that that the immunity would cover him if he if a president ordered the assassination of a political rival, they werent even willing to put a limit on that. If we see the justices probing in that line of area will make it to sense of where they see this ending or if they are inclined to agree with Donald Trumps lawyers very interesting. All right. Michelle price. Michelle, thank you very much for being with us this morning. Im really appreciate jaylen all right. Coming up next here.

Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu claiming the start of israels invasion of rafah is officially scheduled today, i received a detailed report on the talks in cairo, callers my constantly working to achieve our goals and im really the release of all our hostages and achieving a complete victory over hamas. Hamas this victory requires entry into rafah and the elimination of the terrorist battalions. There. It will happen. There is a date though all right cnns max foster joins me now with more max. Good morning. Always wonderful to see you. I gotta be honest. That sounds like a Political Campaign video. Is he bluffing here . Is that i mean is it a military time . What do you what do you make of this . I dont Think Bluffing is the right word, but it could be buying time, getting it because hes under this severe pressure from the right wing of his of his coalition, who are threatening to topple him if he doesnt go into raffa. So hes setting a date at the same time, america saying, you cant go into rafah if didnt have a plan to protect civilians. That seems pretty impulse possible this point, the area of pressure, of course, is that israelis generally just want the hostages out and he hasnt got a deal on getting hostages out. So hes facing pressure from every corner and hes trying to deal with them as best he can. It seems but under the current plan, it does look as though he does plan to go into rafah. Hes just got to balance what the americans and the right of his party are asking of him so max when hamas says on the Hostage Question that the latest proposal does not meet their demands. Theyre not saying no here. This is obviously one piece of what night . I whos looking for. He talked about the hostages in that video. Hes coming under a lot of pressure at home to do something here. Where do these talks stand . Well, this strange position that hamas is in obviously being absolutely pummeled physically, but actually a very strong Negotiating Position because they know that netanyahu needs a deal because the public rightfully what Israeli Hostages Out, its been so many months and theyre desperate to see that happen. He needs to deliver it, but they are the ones who are able to deliver it. There are they havent agreed to a deal. Thats the point here are whether or not they will eventually or not. And there are certain things that netanyahu cant reto at the moment which one of which is getting israeli troops, israelis out of gaza, the end of all of this so theyre in, theyre in a strong position. And as long as they dont say yes theyre able to string this out, but then this is why hi, the right israeli, right. Those are farright parties are saying the only option, the only way of getting Israeli Hostages Out is actually to finally take out her mass. And if the remaining hamas members are in rafah, thats why netanyahu has to go in switching gears for a second David Cameron, your foreign secretary, was here in the meeting with former President Donald Trump down in maralago. What why did this meeting take place . And what do we know about what was said . Well, when you love to be a fly on the wall, i dont know if you remember. When was it . 2019. I was just looking it up. Im trying to remember what it was, but donald trump only got the nomination for the republican president ial nomination because of his protectionist xenophobic misogynistic intervention because thats what David Cameron said. This is not how to endear yourself to someone who may be president. So hes going over there what were here, we havent been given any details really about this meeting. We havent even how it confirm that is happening, but all the uk press these very linked with saying it did happen from cameron side, saying this is about Big International matters, but i think part of it has to be this guy might get in to the white house. And might have to rebuild some bridges here. And well see how donald trump yeah, i want donald trump does change his mind on people. It doesnt. If they change their mind on him, i guess. Yeah. No, it does happen. Max, what is your sense of how the British Government overall is preparing for the possibility of a potential Trump Administration because obviously its going to be different from when there were obviously a lot of comparisons between Boris Johnson and donald trump. And that era has passed us by. What is your sense of how it might work under the Current Situation i think there is concern because so much chaos in terms of his International Policy before. But i think there is this wider view looking back on his last presidency, there are many positive things to say about it in terms of economy. And i think there is a view here that he was quite a peaceful president as well. Ultimately, its trying to figur
