Laws. In new york, the taxi and Limousine Commission has given him two weeks to sell his taxi medallions. They Aretetetete TaxixixixiinThe Citititit and has plummeted. And he could be called back to capitol hill. He testified before the senate ce c c c c c c c ceeeeeeeeayayae didididitnow if the president d advance offff t t t t trump tower meeting witititit russian. So the Intel Committee says we recently reengaged with mr. Cohen and his team. As to whether he stood by his testimony, they responded that he did stand by his testimony. Theres information about russia, mr. Cohen has information about russia, we want to know that. We should know that. We need to know that. Well, dana, theres no word on when that might happen. Dana and rick, were hearing
A look at the days top news and headlines. Immunity. Despite the fact the president said theyre not crimes, cohen pled guilty to two crimes. His attorney is making it clear that hes serving time. Three to five years is no small amount of time in prison. Hes not expecting a pardon and his Attorney Says he doesnt want one. Fox news Shannon Bream had a juror on who had said that she really was a supporter of President Trump. We have a sound bite from peter doocy. He interviewed her as well. The paper trail was just there was so much of it. There were four full boxes of papers to go through. The emails, the false documents. Emails that Paul Manafort sent to other people. It was just there in the paper. It was fair. So the rigged witch hunt then turned into a trial. Paul manafort convicted by a jury of his peers and now one
speaking out saying she didnt think that she went in there with an open mind an convinced he was guilty. And shes a big trump supporter. She has her maga had. She kept it in her back seat. Thats an interesting point that shes making there. Regardless of where you fall in the political spectrum, when you look at the evidence and the exhibits, the evidence was overwhelming. There were ten counts that were a mistrial. There were zero accounts in which he was acquitted. That shows that the evidence is overwhelming. And also that our jury system works. It works. The jury. Dana thanks, shelby. Thanks. Dana california congressman Duncan Hunter and his wife pleading not guilty at their formal arraignment. Both are accused of using Campaign Funds for expenses. William la jeunesse has more. Hunter claims this is a political witch hunt. A hit job from Bias Prosecutors that attended a clinton fund raiser. So this investigation has been two years in the making. Hunters lawyer told me yesterday, prosecutors could have filed this before the primary along for a different candidate. Instead, by waiting before the general, the indictment is he says a gift to democrats that hunter will fight. Im not going to resign with a bunch of leftist government folks throwing allegations at me. Theres a trial. This means nothing. The indictment is all they have. They only have what you are now seeing. Thats it. Ive done nothing wrong. So prosecutors claim that hunter spent 250,000 in Campaign Money on vacations and private school. He claimed government shorts and golf balls for wounded warriors. The company overdrew their bank account 1,100 times. Theres nothing illegal about being poor. I dont think theres anything illegal about not having money in your bank account. So while the deputy u. S. Attorney generals are democrats, the u. S. Attorney says is a trumpappointed republican. What does it mean . This moves from a safe republican seat to a safe competitive race. The gop there have to defend it. For democrats, the Indictment Support as swath of Corruption Narrative as they try to flip 23 house seats. Hunter and his father im not going to judge congressman hunter. Im not going to judge anybody else. Where the cards fall where they may. Let them have their day in court. Lawyers tell me Nothing Happened substantially in court. Dana thanks, william. A meeting between National Security adviser john bolton and his russian counterpart on russian meddling is not going as planned. Democrats renewing their calls to delay hearings for Brett Kavanaugh saying his nomination is tainted by all of the legal drama surrounding President Trump. Not in a legitimate position for them to take. Theres no precedent similar to what we have now. Dana Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is on capitol hill meeting with Senate Democrats. Some are calling to delay his confirmation hearing. We should not only be talking about it, but we should be moving to postpone the hearing. This nomination is now tainted with ill legality because the president who nominated Brett Kavanaugh has been implicated in a criminal conspiracy, not just any criminal conspiracy but one that impacted the outcome of the election. Dana joining me now, nora rossman. Theres three senators that said theyll cancel their meetings with them. All of the three said they would vote against him anyway. So cancelling the meeting sounds like theyre getting ahead of themselves. They would have more punch if they said we werent going to support this nominee. So not meeting with him doesnt carry a lot of weight. The notion that theyre trying to pedal here, that his nominees are illy legitimate, its one thing to argue that. To say it does a disservice to their chamber, the senate. The nominee is not legitimized by his nomination. The Senate Confirms legitimacy by confirming this nominee. Its a backwards assertion of the constitutional duty. Dana its not like Brett Kavanaugh is a lawyer but hes not michael cohen. Hes not michael cohen. We can safely establish that. He has a long track record. The paper trail has been its own issue. Theyre trying to dig far in his past and a lot to dig into. Those are legitimate things to go into. But to say that the nominee does not deserve a nomination not to say he doesnt deserve a hearing but not a nomination because he was nominated by donald trump doesnt carry water. Dana and the feature, they wouldnt like that argument used against them. What happens to the democrats and the left if they dont win in november . We know that like for example, talking about the Supreme Court obstruction that makes it harder for Senate Democrats in tough reelections in those red states, theyre probably going to end up voting for kavanaugh. You had someone like tom stire saying things that hes making impeachment a litmus test for the democrats. Take a listen. One of the counts for mr. Cohen talked about conspireing to break federal election laws with donald trump. Mr. Trump has in addition committed at least nine impeachable offenses. The evidence continues to mount up. The question is when will congress pay attention. Dana theres that litmus test. Theres a leader in the Senate Democrats saying not so fast. Listen to dick durbin. Were too early in the
process to use these words. We need to gather the information, allow bob mueller to complete his investigation. If theres one thing that this senate and house will do is to protect bob mueller to complete the investigation. I worry what this president would do at any given moment to stop this. Dana what theyre trying to do is get the Progressive Left and the activists to tap the brakes for calling for impeachment. This is smart. A, it comes then out of the news and their infighting which is what they want. They dont want to provide a foil for republicans to rally against. Its smart politics. Its a responsible approach. You would have the responsible duties of the Special Counsel on the table so you can make an informed judgment. That is something that is going to cause a schism within the Democratic Party and the left. Not Democratic Party representatives but the representatives and the grass roots democratic left. Prognosticators are beginning to
see the prospects of having a very good november but not far enough to take the house. Maybe a 25 chance that they can keep the house. Dana a decent chance. The crisis of confidence in the left after all of their victories and special elections, after all the organizing, the notion that the American Public would ratify of two years of corruption, sexism, bigotry, the American People would ratify that and donald trump would be on a good course to win in 2020. A crisis on the left is entirely possible. Some might withdraw, some might revert to more radical means of resistance. Dana with that, well keep it in mind. Thanks, noah.

I made it clear that we wouldnt tolerate meddling in 2018 and that we were prepared to take necessary steps to prevent it from happening. Dana john bolton speaking in geneva this morning. Facebook and other platforms announced that they suspended hundreds of accounts tied to russian an iranian hackers looking to meddle in the midterm. Michael is here with us. Thanks for being here. This is an example of russian being a trendsetter with iran not being particularly sophisticated at this but seeing what russia tried to do and america and their deciding that they might want to try it as well. Dana, i ran has gone to school on what russian did to news 2016 and what they continue to do today. So theyre using a Disinformation Campaign to discredit or allies in the middle east and to spread other hateful antisemitic messaging across social media platforms around the world. This is the new way that people with Spread Disinformation to spry to sow differences among each other. Weve got to get better prepared for it. Dana as i understand it, iran was good ativan at
vandalizing sites and changing propaganda. The concern is, that we dont want to see competition in this area because competition leads to innovation and more sophisticated tools down the road. What weve got to lay down is for russia and for iran and others, that if you are to meddle in our Electoral System or even our, lets say, Industrial Systems that operate our power plants, weve got to be clear about what were going to do to you if you take those actions. Its called a declaratory policy. We need to say if you do this, were coming back at you harder than ever so that we might deter them from doing it in the first place. They certainly werent deterred by president obama. I think the Trump Administration is trying to get these policies stood up. But its getting late. Dana the thing to remember, too, is that other countries like russia, iran, china, they
have an asymmetrical response. They have stateowned industries and they work for government. Here in america we dont have that. We have Companies Like facebook, twitter taking down the iranian sites over the week. Listen to alex stamos. He wrote that if the weak response of the Obama White House that the u. S. Government would not respond forcefully, the subsequent actions of President Trump being very critical. You have the companies coming forward and not trying to hide behind their walls in silicon valley. No, i think they learned the lesson. Its the school of hard knocks. Theyre electing to come forward, tell people what theyre trying to do on their platforms. Were never going to root it all out but we have to be more aggressive about it and educate all of us online about what Fishing Attacks are and how to have better cyber hygiene because they are going to continue to try to mess with our Electoral Systems, spread Bad Information and the rest. Dana let me switch to another topic. The taliban has been invited by russia for peace talks and the taliban has accepted. I want your take on it. I am skeptical of russia chairing the talks rather than something that the United States might have a more active role in. I think maybe russia should be part of it, but i dont think they should run the show. Theres rumors or reports that president bushs ambassador To Afghanistan is soon going to become the special rep for theUnited States. I hope that is true. Hes a good man. We need something on the political front to augment what our troops have been doing on the ground in afghanistan so that we might be able to get to a more stable situation. The outgoing general there saying today that the strategy is working militarily. Your point is welltaken about the politics. Thanks, michael. Thank you.

east, where the big island is located. On the east side of that, that area has been getting pounded with rain. Some areas, 13 inches of rain have fallen. On the other side of the big idea, they got 1 4 inch at most. Shows you the unpredictability of the storm. The water on the east shore, has come down, flooding. Flash Flood Warning for the entire state of hawaii right now through the next couple days. Preparations, people here in all the islands preparing a couple days. Nobody has taken the storm lightly. Maybe you can make the argument because they dont get a lot of massive storms like this, the last one to hit was in 1992. Still category four officially. Right now its all watch and wait as the rain comes in small bands at this point, expected to pick up throughout the afternoon and evening here. We talk to the mayor of maui and tells everybody, make sure youre prepared even if the storms are out, keep checking back and refill. If effects of this hurricane
as it passes down in oahu could last longer than one that moves quickly like hector. The rain will be heavy and longer and we could have coastal flooding that lasts because of the Winds Whipping from the south and hitting the south shore. The wind from the south that was the mayor of honolulu. Were expecting higher surf. Could be as much as four feet in this area. Again, all dependent on how this storm is shut down by the wind shear. The words youre hearing are preparation and wind shear. It seems to be breaking down this storm some. A ton of rain coming through and everybody here has prepared as much as they can. Dana . Dana thanks, adam. Rick reichmuth is tracking the storm. He joins me now live here. Its an interesting storm. Hawaii is a needle in the hay stack. The Pacific Ocean is that hay stack. Theres small islands there. One of the reasons why they dont get hit often from hurricanes, this is a strong and big storm. You can see the at light there. The winds are 130, had been a category five, down to a cat four. Doesnt mean anything. Doesnt mean its going to be a worse storm. As this continues to pull off to the north, were going to continue to see the rain get stronger and stronger. We have flooding because of the 13 inches of rain that adam has said. The way the big island works, theres mountains there. The air hits the mountains and rises and wrings the moisture out. The other side is the dryer side. One of the bigger concerns, it moves to the north and pulls off to the west. Thats where it makes the turn. Its going to have big implications if its more of a direct hit or stays offshore. Its also going to take time to
make the turn and that is why its going to stay and rain longer. Its not just moving straight through. Because of that, well see the rainfall totals higher and significant flooding. Storm surge, 2 to 4 feet. Dana when will this hit hand . The center may not hit land at all. Its feeling the impacts of it. It goes until sunday before its out of the area of hawaii. So that
