12:02 pm
the group is stoking fears that they could play spoiler in president biden's re-election bid. we'll be speaking to the group's national director about those concerns. plus, search-and-rescue operations under way after flash flooding that's claimed the lives of at least five people in the northeast. other parts of the country sweltering under dangerous heat and the rest of the world is suffering too. we have much more on the extreme weather along with other major developing stories all coming in right here to "cnn news central." ♪ we are learning new details this hour on the attack of a critical bridge linking russia to crimea. ukraine says the bridge was blown up by drones and you can see the aftermath here. the portion of the bridge appears to be heavily damaged. vladimir putin is claiming the two strikes were, quote, terrorist attacks.
12:03 pm
the bridge was built after moscow illegally annexed crimea in 2014 and it's a major supply line for russia. just hours after this bridge was attacked, russia announced it is pulling out of a deal allowing ukraine to export grain from its ports. several western countries are condemning russia's decision, saying it will have a devastating impact on global hunger. cnn senior international security correspondent fred pleitgen joins us now. >> the russians say it's not because of the attack on the crimean bridge. the spokesman for the kremlin, he came out earlier today and he specifically negated any notions of that. he said, look, vladimir putin has been talking about this for days saying that russia was unhappy with the grain deal and that russia was probably going to pull out of the grain deal. if we look at the grain deal in itself, it's been in force for about a year. it's really been hanging on by a
12:04 pm
thread since then. the russians threatening to pull out at various times. there's certain concerns that the russia had which they felt were not being addressed. they said the sanctions were making it difficult for them to export their own goods. they also said that they felt that a lot of the grain that was being -- and other agriculture goods that were being exported from ukraine were not going to developing countries. and they felt that that was against the spirit of the agreement. now the ukrainians in the form of the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy, they said they really want the deal to be implemented again. they want to try and salvage the deal. the russians are saying maybe they'll get back into the deal. but there's a u.n. diplomat that it sounds final what the russians are saying and, boris, on top of that, vladimir putin looked really angry. he was in a meeting with some of his top security officials after this attack on the bridge and said, look, this is already the second time that something like this has happened. he wanted to see some concepts for how to better protect that
12:05 pm
bridge and he vowed retaliation on the parts of the russians to the military. they were working up certain scenarios for that. one of the things we have to keep in mind with that boris is that the last time the crimean bridge was hit was when the campaign was started against ukrainian cities. >> thank you so much. even though the attack on this bridge coincides with the russian ending of that grain deal, the kremlin says the two are unrelated, brianna. >> let's talk about this more now with cedric layton. this bridge, let's talk about the strategic military importance here. >> yeah, absolutely. when you look at this bridge, of course, this is one of the biggest engineering feats that the russians ever built. it's the only link, only bridge link between crimea and russia. it's also the major supply route for russian forces especially on
12:06 pm
the southern front in ukraine. and then, of course, it's the longest bridge in europe, 11 miles. the road is a little bit shorter than the rail link. it's about 11 miles when you average them out. it's a big, big bridge. >> how are they able to pull this off? how is ukraine able to strike this bridge. >> one of the things they did, they used -- we've heard about uavs. there's also unmanned surface vehicles. and this is what they used. they basically used water drones to attack the bridge and when you look at they they did it and where they did it, they basically took this area right here, this is where the bridge goes, right through here. they used this area to attack the pylons on the bridge and destroy a major portion of it. when you see basically what this -- what this did, you can see that it really buckled the roadway and that, of course, is a key element right here when
12:07 pm
you look at how much damage it could actually do. >> you see that pylon right there. you mentioned that this is a prestigious project, right? so this is a -- sort of a pet project of vladimir putin's. he's there, he's up on the truck. he's reveling in this moment here back in 2018. he has also visited it when it was struck before back in october, right? so he then was there for that moment. we see the bombing here. this one took a couple of months to repair and you see how significant this bombing was here. what does this tell you about the message that ukraine is trying to send? is it just a matter of, hey, this isn't safe, or we can do this elsewhere? what is it? >> it's basically we can do this elsewhere and it's not safe. this blast affected the rail link more than it did the rail link. the one that we had today or earlier today actually affected
12:08 pm
the road link and did not affect the rail link as much. so it's kind of a reverse saying that we can affect both of the transportation links that you have on this bridge and that is, i think, the message that the ukrainians are sending. >> can you talk to us now about these f-16 fighter jets. because the top biden administration official is telling cnn finally they're going to allow european countries to train ukrainian soldiers on these fighter jets. when does that capability start having an effect on the war? >> so, brianna, when it comes to training pilots for the f-16, it takes at least eight months to do so. this is based on an assessment from the arizona national guard. and what is important about this is, that's the kind of training that the arizona national guard assessed the two ukrainian pilots that came to the united
12:09 pm
states earlier in the year. now, when it comes to what the europeans are going to do, we don't know exactly how long that's going to take. but the key thing to think about here is, not only are there language issues, but there also are specific requirements such as close air support, basic fighter maneuvers, suppression of enemy air defenses. those are things that you'll need to train for to be effective on the battlefield. if that's going to happen, it will take at least a year for them to be really good at this. >> they're taking fighter pilots who are proficient on other planes, right? >> that is correct. >> are they taking them out of the mix then, so to speak, in order to train them? >> they have to. they can't fly the su-35 or any other aircraft that they have in their inventory. what they can do -- or the mig 29. what they can do, though, is they can take their most experienced pilots on a rotational basis and have them trained on the f-16, get used to the basic instruments that are on this aircraft, and then transfer their knowledge into
12:10 pm
this and it also means that they can employ the weapons that are used on the f-16 because a lot of those capabilities are actually quite profound and could make a difference on the battlefield right now. >> colonel, thank you so much for taking us through that. we do appreciate it. boris? >> today, democratic senator joe manchin will head to new hampshire to headline an event for no labels, a group pushing for a third-party presidential candidate. the west virginia senator told cnn this morning this trip is nothing about a third party, but he also did not rule out a run. joining us now is the national director of no labels, joe cunning ham. he's also a former congressman. thank you so much for being with us. what is the goal of having joe manchin headline this event? he's not exactly beloved nationally. but is he someone you would put forward as a candidate for president? >> glad to be here with you. i'm from south carolina. just to correct the record.
12:11 pm
>> you're right. >> it's all right. we have senator manchin and governor huntsman up here. they're up here because they were original co-chairs for no labels and we're kicking off this commonsense policy tour. we're going to talk about these ideas and policies. it's a book of 30 different policy ideas ranging from covering topics like immigration or education, women's reproductive rights, all those things. telling the world where the majority of americans are. and that's near the middle. most of us in america are somewhere near the middle. a little to the left, a little to the right. the fact is in washington, d.c., all you see are the extremes being put on display. >> would you put forward joe manchin as the kind of candidate that no labels might promote as a presidential candidate? >> well, any idea as far as names of a potential unity ticket are just speculation. because the truth be told, we
12:12 pm
haven't decided whether or not to put forward a ticket. what we're doing right now, what we're focusing on is securing ballot access across the country in all 50 states, plus washington, d.c., and we're going to run a ticket, a democrat and republican or republican and democrat, only if two things are met. number one, the major party nominees have to be viewed as so unfavorable by the american public, and number two, there must be a clear pathway to victory for this ticket. we don't intend to be a spoiler. if we get into it, we'll be in it to win it. plain and simple. >> do you think there's enough appetite for a centrist agenda to get support, enough support to be competitive? >> i believe so. take a look at the numbers right now and folks are looking at the rematch of trump versus biden, and it's a rematch that no one really wants. two-thirds of americans don't want to see it. and so the question becomes, well, who is speaking to them?
12:13 pm
and, you know, we have so many americans who feel disaffected, feel pushed out or pushed aside by their own parties and nobody is speaking to them. and that's one of the purposes of this tour is to kick-start that conversation and show washington, d.c., that, hey, look, you can bring democrats and republicans together and put them around a table and we can make some progress on some of these big issues. whether it be immigration or gun safety. >> and yet, sir, the experts of cnn when they crunch the math and the numbers, it looks like no labels could potentially split voters in a way that would give an advantage to a person you voted to impeach. are you concerned at all that you might wind up empowering donald trump? >> we're not going to be a spoiler. we've been on the record saying that. i'm not sure what kind of data your experts are looking at. there's old adage that numbers will tell you anything if you torture them enough. what i can tell you is that no labels has spent the last year
12:14 pm
and a half speaking to tens of thousands of americans and what they're telling us is very clear. they don't want, you know, to see a rematch. but they're open to a bipartisan ticket. there's a pathway to victory for such a ticket. if a ticket is nominated and launched and doesn't gain traction and looks like it would be a spoiler and help trump out, then we would simply pull it. but the fact is, where we are right now in america with these two nominees that no one seems to get excited about, americans deserve another option. and we're working on giving america a voice and a choice for this upcoming election. >> there are some outstanding questions, though, about where the money supporting no labels is coming from. in fact, senator mark kelly describes your organization as receiving dark money. let's listen to this sound bite. >> i don't, you know, think no labels is a political party. this is a few individuals putting dark money behind an organization. and that's not what our
12:15 pm
democracy should be about. i'm obviously concerned about what's going on here in arizona and across the country. >> sir, should that change? wouldn't you want no labels to be more transparent with voters? >> well, senator kelly is correct in that no labels is not a political party. in fact, we're just gaining ballot access. we're not running a ticket or a candidate. and if -- you know, if a ticket is nominated, though, and it's passed off to another group or entities, yes, those donors should be disclosed. the truth is, no labels has been around for over years. it formed the problem solvers caucus, got a lot of great work done. and no one seemed to ever bring up funding or resources at that particular time until we started to get ballot access. while we're on the topic of democracy, i don't think there's anything more democratic than giving americans choices. that's all we're trying to do.
12:16 pm
there are a number of groups and people who have another opinion about that. but the fact is, there's nothing about political parties in our constitution. and, you know, if the vast majority of americans don't want to see this rematch, shouldn't -- should a group not stand up and speak for them? >> joe cunningham now with no labels, thank you so much for the time. we're going straight to the white house where john kirby is speaking to the press. let's listen. >> which will exacerbate food scarcity and harm millions of vulnerable people around the world. it's been critical to bringing down food prices which have spiked as a result of the invasion of ukraine. more than half of the 33 million metric tons of grain and foodstuffs that have been shipped through the initiative have gone to developing countries. including some of the most food insecure regions of the globe. the shipments have helped drive
12:17 pm
down and stabilize global prices. and every shipment under the initiative has contributed to reducing hardship in the world's poorest countries since bringing grain to world markets lower food prices for everybody. russia's decision to resume its effective blockade of ukrainian ports and prevent this grain from getting to markets will harm people all over the world. russia will be fully and solely responsible for the consequences of this military active aggression. indeed, we are already seeing a spike in global wheat, corn and soybean prices just today as a result of russia's suspension. we urge the government to reverse its decision. meanwhile, the united states has and we will continue to work with other countries to enable both russian and ukrainian grain to reach the rest of the world, including by ensuring that our sanctions do not target russian food or fertilizer and we will continue to support ukraine's effort to get that ukraine to markets that desperately need
12:18 pm
it, even if that's through other routes. a lot of work to be done here. this is a dangerous decision that we urge mr. putin to reverse. just quickly a readout on the president's discussion today with prime minister netanyahu. they talked about a broad range of global and regional issues. the president underscored his iron-clad, unwavering commitment to israel's security and he condemned recent acts of terror against israeli citizens. the two consulted to counter iran including through regular and ongoing joint exercises. they noted that the u.s./israel partnership remains a cornerstone in preventing iran to ever acquiring a nuclear weapon. the president stressed the need to seek a two-state solution and improve the security solution in the west bank. he recognized promising steps by
12:19 pm
the palestinian authority for their part to reassert security control in areas of the west bank. he expressed concern about continued settlement growth and called on all parties to refrain from measures. the two leaders agreed to consult with regional partners with the aim of convening a meeting as soon as possible. they also consulted on progress towards establishing a more prosperous and peaceful middle east, including efforts to expand normalization with countries in the region and beyond. finally, president biden reiterated in the context of the current debate in israel about judicial reform, the need for the broadest possible consensus and that shared democratic values have always been and must remain a hallmark of the u.s./israel relationship. i'll take questions. >> reporter: first on the call with netanyahu, the israelis said there was an invitation to
12:20 pm
meet in the united states s. that meeting at the white house as netanyahu asked for? >> they have agreed that they will meet probably before the end of this year and all the details of still being worked out. >> reporter: and on the black sea grain deal, assuming russia doesn't lift this blockade, what other options are there that the u.s. can facilitate to get that grain out there? is there additional resources that the u.s. can send to ukraine? ship it out via rail or is it really at the mercy of russia here? >> to some degree, russia does have a huge amount of responsibility here by allowing in the previous months, allowing ships to leave through the black sea along an approved route. but absent that, we're going to have to kind of go back to where we were before the grain deal was put in place last july. it's been a year.
12:21 pm
obviously the bulk of grain wasn't getting out. the only option you have for that is over land and, of course, overland transport of anything in ukraine right now is a pretty hazardous undertaking and, of course, you have to go through eu countries. they all would have to be okay with that. they have farmers and farms that they have to be concerned about for their own economies. it's more cumbersome, less efficient, certainly not an effective way of getting all that grain out of ukraine. and that's why before the grain deal was put in place, food prices were going up. the developing world, so-called global south, was suffering under food scarcity. i don't want to promise you that we'll be able to fix everything. we'll do the best we can. we'll continue to work with allies and partners to find new ways to get grain out. but there's no possible way just mathematically we're going to get as much grain out now as we were going to be able to get out through the grain deal if it had been extended.
12:22 pm
>> thank you. >> reporter: hello. also on the grain, following up on the question, specifically is there any thought being given to a plan of just taking the grain out by sea with some kind of escort and no one daring the russians to stop it? and then on the bridge -- >> basically you're -- you're arguing -- you're suggesting that we should just try to run a blockade in the black sea because that's what's happening here? no, that's not an option that's being actively pursued. >> reporter: turkey had sort of played around with this idea quite a long time -- >> that's not an option we're actively pursuing. >> reporter: thank you. on the bridge itself, the russians keep making like this sound like this is a sort of -- you can't touch the bridge, we'll stop the grain. that's how they present it. did the united states think the bridge is a totally legitimate military target? >> let me take that in two bites. number one, i've seen nothing
12:23 pm
that proves causation here, that the strike on the bridge led to putin's decision not to extend. he had already been leaning that way publicly. now, i won't speak for him if he has his own justification, he can do that. i've seen nothing that points to causation. to your second question, we don't -- we don't take it upon yourselves to determine legitimacy or ill legitimacy of targets that the ukrainians hit. they're fighting for their own country. we don't tell them and we don't tell them what is and isn't legally a legitimate target. they determine their targets for themselves. >> it's not in the same -- >> strikes inside russia, we made it clear to the ukrainians that we won't encourage and we won't enable strikes inside russia. what we are trying to do and have been for 16 months is making sure that they can defend their own territory and push back the russian aggression on ukrainian soil. crimea is ukrainian soil.
12:24 pm
>> reporter: russia is calling the bridge attack a terrorist attack. the ukrainians have not claimed responsibility. have you determined who is responsible? are you commenting on who is responsible? >> we are not in a position to tribute the attack to any particular party at this point. >> reporter: and you've made clear, urging russia to reverse the decision on the grain deal. are u.s. officials reaching out discussing this matter -- >> we're discussing it with our counterparts at the u.n. and with our allies and partners. i know of no specific discussion with russian officials specifically about it. >> can you discuss again how you may see the impact of this deal being terminated? when will vulnerable -- >> prices went up today. corn, soybean and wheat all shot up today as a result of this decision. so we're seeing the impact right now. >> one more follow-up on the bridge. have you assessed whether the
12:25 pm
attack had any effects on russia's strategic ability to move military equipment in and out of crimea? >> the short answer is i don't know. i can't -- we haven't -- let me put it another way. we haven't seen any impact of the strike on the bridge to russia's defensive posture and their military capabilities in crimea or in southern ukraine. i mean, they are still -- they are still fighting ukrainian forces, still trying to push back elements of the ukrainian counteroffensive. i think it's just too soon to know whether that attack on that bridge is going to have any specifically military impact on their ability to fight this war. and, yes, it provided land access, terrestrial access to crimea. but the russians have many, many, many other ways of
12:26 pm
providing logistics and sustainment to their troops in ukraine. so my hunch would be that this won't have a dramatic effect on them. >> just another on israel. the congresswoman said that israel is a racist state. she walked that back. but there's been comments from democratic comments about israel. wondering if the white house had any comments. >> she apologized and we're glad she did. i think as you saw from my readout on the call with prime minister netanyahu and you'll see this tomorrow when the president meets with him, our commitment with israel is ironclad and we're going to make that clear and consistent every chance we get. >> reporter: i want to ask you about the chinese hacking campaign that affected the secretary. do you have an update on how much damage may have been caused
12:27 pm
by this hack, what information was taken, and also what does this episode tell you about the chinese's ambitions and capabilities with regard to spying? >> there's a lot there. just let me set it up here. it's important to remember what this was. it was an intrusion into microsoft cloud services on an unclassified level. this intrusion allowed the hackers to get access to some email traffic, particularly, that we're -- that is the main concern here of various government officials and agencies. the reason microsoft knew about it was because we told them about it. we found it and alerted them to that. and in so doing, we also took steps immediately to minimize any further impact by this intrusion and to close down any additional vulnerabilities. we're going to continue to evaluate the cyberspace environment in the wake of this to make sure that those fixes
12:28 pm
are, in fact, doing the job that we expected them to do and that we're still protecting our vulnerabilities through cloud services and through unclassified email. so we're mindful of this. i think it's important to remember that our systems get attacked and we're fending off intrusions every day. i mean, from a variety of state and non-state actors. cyber resilience and cybersecurity is a paramount concern for the president. we recently released a brand-new cybersecurity strategy for the country and certainly for the government that we think will have a positive impact on our ability to operate much more effectively and much more safely in that space. as for the attribution, we're not in a position right now, we're not in a position to independently verify
12:29 pm
attribution. but we have seen nothing that would cause us to dispute microsoft's finding that it was a hacking group out of the prc. >> reporter: so you just said that you fend off these attacks every day. but in this case, you didn't fend it off and all the things you talked about were reactive, not proactive. so are you doing enough to proactively prevent the chinese or another government from gaining access into our, you know, government emails? >> we work at it every single day. does that mean that you can prevent every single attack of every single nature? no. i mean, unfortunately sometimes they get through. but it's not for lack of trying. this isn't the kind of thing that you fix and walk away from. it's the cybersecurity is something you have to stay on top of every day because the environment literally changes,
12:30 pm
sometimes by the hour. so i mean, everybody understands that. >> thank you. >> reporter: a bipartisan group of senators and members of the house introduced a new afghan adjustment bill. i know that you've supported that concept in the past. can you talk about whether you support the newly introduced bill and what you're doing if so to get it passed? >> we certainly support the legislative efforts here on the afghan adjustment bill and i don't want to get ahead of the process or speak to what the president will sign or won't sign, but he feels strongly that we have to continue to do everything we can to welcome our allies, our afghan -- >> we're listening there to john kirby, spokesman speaking at the white house there and he just said there from the briefing room that the white house -- we're listening there to john kirby speaking from the white house briefing room saying that the white house is condemning
12:31 pm
russian for blocking grain shipments from ukraine through the black sea. he noted that corn, soy and wheat prices have already gone up and he said that russia alone bears responsibility for the costs of this situation. he rejected this idea that there may be some kind of escort in order to help grain get out of the area and he also rejected the suggestion that this was a response to that bridge attack that we saw on the bridge spanning russia to crimea. he also talked about this meeting that we've learned is going to happen between president biden and benjamin netanyahu of israel. he said they spoke to. he did not say if they're going to be meeting at the white house. he said those details are still being worked out. but this is probably going to be happening by the end of the year. and he also touched upon as he was asked about the chairwoman of the house progressive caucus saying that israel is a racist state, something that she has faced backlash for, that she's
12:32 pm
apologized for, he said it was the right thing to do for her to apologize and that the biden administration's commitment to israel is ironclad. he stressed that there. we'll continue to monitor this and bring you anything else that comes out of this briefing going on at the white house. in the meantime ahead, deadly flooding and intense heat, extreme weather is hitting major parts of the country today. we're going to show you which areas are expecting the worst of it. the first hearing in former president trump's classified documents case will begin tomorrow. today prosecutors are revealing a point of contention about the timetable. we'll have details on that when "cnn news central" returns. charging something like a hundred bucks a window when other guys were charging four to five-hundred bucks.s. he just didn't wanna do that. he was proud of the price he was c charging. ♪ my dad instilled in me, always put the people before the money. be proud of offering a good product at a fair price. i think he'd be extremely proud of me, yeah.

dangerous weather conditions are affecting every corner of the nation today. in the northeast, the deluge of flash floods and an urgent search for a 2-year-old girl and her 9-month-old brother in pennsylvania.
12:37 pm
the family car was swept away in a powerful storm killing their mother. flash floods also killed four others and as that same region braces for more rain in coming days, other parts of the nation are suffering from extremely high temperatures. 80 million people in 12 states are under excessive heat warnings. chad meyers is standing by in the weather center. with these floods, what are you expecting over the next few days? what's the outlook? >> the outlook is now that the 48 hours that just passed put down 2 to 4 inches of rainfall in many locations that certainly didn't need it. at least for now that rain is gone. there will be showers overnight tomorrow night, but i don't think there's anything that's going to really exacerbate what we have out here where the flash flood watches are. yes, there will be some showers around, but nothing that really lingers. nothing that lasts a very long time. and there's a slight risk of too heavy of rainfall in the yellow
12:38 pm
area and that's honestly just because it has rained so much for so long. something else in the atmosphere, the bases are loaded on weather today. obviously smoke back in the area across parts of the midwest. it brings down smoke from alberta and british columbia fires here. there's your heat dome making all the heat across the south and the southwest. records broken yesterday in some spots and certainly in the next couple of days a hundred or so records -- more records will be broken out there. look at right now in vegas, it's 110 degrees. right now. they don't put these watches and warnings out just because it's going to be hot. it has to be above a threshold to get to these extreme tempera temperatures, to get to these warnings and watches. death valley making a run today at 124. it's already in the upper 110s right now. >> wow. eye-opening temperatures.
12:39 pm
thank you so much for that. chad just mentioned death valley in california. they set a daily heat record of 128 degrees over the weekend. our next guest is a park ranger at death valley national park. nicole, thank you so much for being with us. you spent a lot of time out there, some of the hottest days on record have been recorded at death valley. what is it like to experience that record-breaking temperature? >> oh, well, 128 degrees is kind of intense. some folks like to say it's like when you get really cold and you feel the pins and needles. here when it gets this hot, you can feel the sun on your skin. >> what is it like in the area for folks who are around there? there's a lot of danger associated with temperatures at that level. >> yes. we actually try to get as much
12:40 pm

tomorrow we will see a major pretrial hearing in the classified documents case against former president trump. the judge is telling special counsel prosecutors and trump's defense lawyers to be prepared to discuss a trial date. the hearing will also focus on setting up a framework for sharing the classified documents at the heart of the case. any new filing today prosecutors indicate they have run into some delay tactics on that front.
12:47 pm
we have cnn's senior justice department correspondent evan perez with us on this story. walk us through this new filing from the prosecution first year. >> it's a continuation of the theme. we have seen the former president and his legal team try to figure out how to delay this, perhaps beyond the 2024 election. and here what the special counsel prosecutors are saying is that they've been trying to back door, at least trying to set up a conversation with donald trump's legal team to discuss some of the issues of -- some of the how to handle some of the classified information that is at the center of this case. and i'll read you a partf what it says here. the government asked to have a call on july 14th with the coun counsel for the defendants to see if it was possible to address some of the defendants' concerns. they have not heard from defense counsel since sending that email. and this motion is to avoid further delay. what is at work here is that
12:48 pm
jack smith and his team want to set up a protective order. they're asking the judge to set up a protective order that will essentially restrict how this information that is shared with the defense, how that information is handled for obvious reasons. some of it is classified and it's very defense. what they say is that the trump team has raised some objections but they won't say specifically what their objections are. so we can expect tomorrow that judge aileen cannon, the first time she's going to have both sides in front of her in this courtroom in fort pierce, she's going to talk about some of the issues related to classified documents, but also what you just raised just now, she wants to talk about the potential trial date which the special counsel says they're going to be ready by december. donald trump's team says don't set a trial date just yet. >> maybe something in the middle. we'll see as they discuss this tomorrow. it was about a year ago that judge aileen cannon ruled in
12:49 pm
favor of what was a trump delay tactic was appointing a special master to review the mar-a-lago documents. she was rebuked. her decision was overturned. and i wonder if that could affect how she's going to proceed looking at the timetable for the rest of this. >> if she's like other judges, i think it does have an effect, right, to have the 11th circuit, which is a conservative circuit rebuke her really strongly, republican-appointed judges said she was wrong on every aspect of that. so you can expect that everybody is going to be watching everything that she says tomorrow very closely, including obviously the trump team. they want -- as we just discussed -- they want this trial to be put off as long as possible. they say that they want the -- essentially the voters to decide and then of course if donald trump becomes president, he could try to have this thing wiped away. we'll see whether she sides with them in trying to delay this or weather she finally says, no, here's a trial date, you got to get going. >> it makes sense she wouldn't
