all, the boots do we have a picture of the boots guys she worked to this came last night i'm glad that brian thinks that there but if it seems the breaking up, i guess they might have had a cruel summer. they might know who else, who else has come on. >> you said we were talking about taylor swift and look what you made me do really from pennsylvania, there's 60 days until election. >> i mean, if the vote goes through pennsylvania and we can have an enforcement standpoint of the highlights of my summer was seeing taylor swift the summer i finally solid was all about in lisbon it was a very cool experience. my question for as a political reporter, what is she going to do in the next 60 days politically speaking, could she win the election for harris if she endorsed harris, brad todd, i think she already her fan base is already pretty much for harris, i think i think she's already got that vote she could activate people who otherwise wouldn't vote is actually i think well, i don't know, low and low-income, low propensity voters are the target from here on out taylor has been pretty

political already. i think i think her fans already get to cues. they read everything all right. >> well, it's 7:00 a.m. so unfortunately, we have to cut our taylor swift conversation short, thanks to our panel. thanks to you for joining us. i'm kasie hunt. don't go anywhere cnn news central starts right now a massive fundraising haul for the harris campaign nearly triple what team trump raised last month. >> what that means for the vice president's momentum just two months before election day minutes away from the alleged georgia school shooters first court appearance, his father now will arrested and charged what we're learning about his role and federal investigators raid the homes of several top officials connected new york mayor eric adams kate is out today. i'm john berman with sara sidner. f is for friday and this is cnn new central we

begin with breaking news for you. we're standing by for expected 14-year-old shooter, colt gray, to make his first court appearance in georgia. he is charged with murdering two students and two beloved teachers at his high school less than 48 hours ago, very soon we will see him before a judge, his father has now been taken into custody to charge as well in those counties colin gray is the second father in the united states history to face manslaughter charges stemming from a child mass shooter. the first was michigan father james crumbley, who was convicted after his son opened fire at oxford high school, killing four people. gray is however, the first father now two also faces second degree murder charges. let's get straight to cnn's rafael romo outside the court there in georgia. rafael first, can you give us some sense of how this hearing for the 14-year-old will happen in the next hour.

>> yes, sara, good morning to you. the hearing will happen here at the barrow county courthouse and about 90 minutes. and as you can imagine, there's a lot of interests here, not only from the community and the state of georgia, but a lot of media presence here this morning. and now i have to tell you something, sara, the suspect himself will not be here. he's going to appear virtually because right now he's being detained at gainesville regional youth detention center. but what we know already is that he is facing at least four charges. sara and the charges that he faces, of course, have to do with the horrific murders that happened wednesday here in winder, just about an hour away from a plant northeast. so atlanta and in a significant development overnight as sara, we have also heard and got confirmation from the georgia bureau of investigation that the suspect

the suspect's father colin gray, has also been arrested and he faces multiple charges. let me read to you what he is facing now. the 54-year-old is now facing eight counts of cruelty to children in the second degree, two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the second-degree, and another four counts of invalid and involuntary manslaughter. now, why did authorities here decide to charge the father? this is what the director of the georgia bureau of investigation had to say about it? >> these charges stem from mr. gray knowingly allowing his son colt, to possess a weapon that he is in custody at this time? the arrest was made when we had the probable cause to make the arrest and overnight, sara, we have also heard that both the father and the son were on the law enforcement's radar for at least a couple of years for

different reasons stemming from incidents that happened here in georgia let me tell you, for example, that in july of 2022, the family was evicted from their home and as part of the eviction and this is key here. >> sheriff's deputies collected three guns including an ar-15 rifle for safekeeping and those weapons were later returned in may of last year, deputies interviewed college when grey and the fbi flagged on online post, that threads to an unidentified location and then in december, we also learned that the father bought the sun a gun for christmas. now he was interviewed the father, colin grade was interviewed by jackson county sheriff's office and this is what he had to say about the availability of weapons around his house. let's take a listen to house. accessible to him they are having there's nothing loaded, but they are down we did we actually we do a

lot of shooting. >> we do a lot there on he shot his first year this year than if so i'm pretty much in shock. maybe oscillator. >> well, come a little off to be even really honest with. >> event is what was said of course here this is going to play out more fully during the trial for the father. >> but what i can tell you being here in winder is that this is a community still in shock as you can imagine, a lot of people still trying to process the horrific incidents that happened here on wednesday, sara, back to you four lives lost and we will be talking about some of the victims, including one of the teachers and the story that she has to tell about what happened. thank you so much, rafael romo. i appreciate your reporting this morning. john all right. >> breaking overnight, the harris campaign reports, it raised a whopping 361 million in august it's just under

three times donald trump's fundraising haul. >> the harris campaign has 404 million cash on hand compared to 295 million for trump. >> let's get right to seen as jeff zeleny for the latest on this that's a lot of cash hey john, good morning. a lot of cash indeed. and when you look a little bit deeper into these numbers, the harris campaign is releasing this morning, you're getting a sense of just the depth and the breadth of the fundraising, but it's also a sign of excitement and enthusiasm. look at these numbers here. $361 million in august paired to the former president's haul of 120 million. now, for him, that is slightly lower than the month before. but if you look at harris's numbers specifically 361 and august, but cash on hand, that is the key number here. that means she can spend that much money in the next 60 days before the election day. but look at that since july 6, hundred and million in dollars since she of course, has become the democratic nominee. so that certainly is one more of the

metric here that speaks to the enthusiasm. but one other thing in august 3 million donors but 1.3 million of her donors were new donors giving for the first time you see the trump numbers there as well that we just talked talked about. but these new numbers up for harris showing, look at these 3 million donors, 1.3 first-time donors. that means of course that they can almost certainly give again and again up until november. so certainly one more metric of the excitement and doozy asm for the harris campaign, john obviously had this much money means you can in spend it, but it also has other implications for the next two months it does look i mean, money is not going to be the thing that is going to win a campaign, but it certainly can lose it if you don't have it, what are they spending all this money on that of course is television ads and of course, all eyes are on pennsylvania, that big debate is their next week. >> but pennsylvania is getting more spending from both sides than any other battleground.

that's what they are using this money on. some $65 million has been spent by the harris campaign alone. there $75 million in new reservations for the rest of the campaign for television ads. that is likely to go up. so what this money is being spent on is a difference prince strategy. we're seeing the harris campaign spending across the seven battlegrounds, the trump campaign has trimmed its sails a little bit in terms of what they are spending. again, money is not likely to be an issue for either side, but this is a sign of excitement and enthusiasm and it gives the harris campaign more options to spend more on tbs ads, digital ads, and certainly building a grassroots campaign. john, when you got the money, you don't have to spend as much time raising the money for the next 60 plus, that is jeff zeleny. >> great to see you as always. thanks so much. is there? >> all right. donald trump, back in a new york courtroom this morning, in which case is battling and what to expect. they're also breaking overnight ukrainian president zelenskyy makes a surprise visit to germany where he met with defense secretary lloyd

and his team looking to overturn a $5,000,000 verdict that found him liable of sexual we abusing writer e. jean carroll. cnn's kara scannell is outside the court where we could see donald trump. win the next couple of hours. kara, what are we expecting today yeah john so donald trump is expected to appear in this courthouse behind me just a few hours from now and he is challenging the verdict that $5 million verdict by the jury finding that he's sexually abused and defamed e. >> jean carroll and his lawyers are going to argue that the judge should never have left the testimony of two other women who have accused trump of sexual assault, go before the jury and they also say that access hollywood tape should not have been played. now, trump's lawyers that will be their argument. e jean carroll's lawyers are going to counter that, saying that that testimony that evidence was evidenced of trump's mo that he had assaulted women then when they went public with it, denied it and criticize their appearances know both sides will only we have about ten minutes to make their arguments and unlike donald trump's

criminal trial, where he spoke to cameras in the hallways during breaks in the trial, there are no cameras inside this courthouse. donald will trump will not be able to campaign here, even though he is expected to make an appearance at trump tower later today, where he will speak to the cameras, but no decision is expected in this case. than donald trump is not required to be here today. he's obviously choosing to do so to make another appearance outside in one of his cases, which has been a consistent part of his campaign, john, you mentioned the new york criminal case where he was found guilty. >> we are expecting an important ruling decision today from the judge in that case. >> yes, judge. juan marshawn, who presided over that trial, has informed both trump's team and the manhattan district attorney's office that he will decide today whether to postpone donald trump's sentencing. he's currently scheduled to be sentenced on september 18. trump's lawyers asked for that to be delayed until after the november election, saying that if the judge rules against them in there attempt to get the entire

verdict thrown out based on the supreme court's ruling on presidential immunity, they say they won't have enough time to appeal that decision. so they've asked the judge to push this off. the prosecutors have not oppose that, requesting that they had afforded the judge. so ultimately, what the judge decides today will let us know if donald trump is going to face a sentencing before the election, or if it will come sometime after john, that will be fascinating. all right. kara scannell, a lot going on today. thanks so much for being with us this morning. good news for drivers. the country pumping so much oil, the gas prices could drop below $3 by thanksgiving. >> and brand, brand new brand new to cnn reporting this morning. >> that donald trump said, while he said he was expanding the battleground map, his campaign spending tells a different story if you are shopping for a home realtor dot com's real commute tool lets you find homes close to work,

race too dependent all right. >> breaking overnight ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy issued a warning out a surprise meeting hosted by defense secretary lloyd austin in ramstein, germany. zelenskyy says quote, significant number of air defense systems that were promised by allies have not yet been delivered. the meeting is happening at a time when deadly missile strikes in ukraine have killed dozens. we turn now to cnn, senior international correspondent fred pleitgen, who is in central ukraine with more on this story. what is since, he looking to get me this was, you know, to some surprising statement that he's not getting the weapons that he says were promised yeah, you know what, sara surprising state but also surprising visit by volodymyr zelenskyy going to germany, going to wrap ramstein meeting where normally he would only send his defense minister to. >> so it just shows how important for the ukrainians it is to get additional weapons. and specifically to get air defense weapons. of course, that's something that the

ukrainians have been talking about, that they need a lot more of. and he certainly did. you're absolutely right sound the alarm bell i was in that meeting. he said that he was very grateful for the air defense weapons that the ukrainians have got. of course, a lot has been pledged. some of those weapons have been received, but he also said that some of the things that had been pledged had not yet reached ukraine and that of course, is causing ukrainian lives or is killing, destroying ukrainian lives every day i want to listen into some of what volodymyr zelenskyy had to say the number of air defense system that have not yet been delivered is significant. >> this is what was agreed upon and this is what was what has not been fully implemented. the world has enough air defense systems to ensure that russian terror does not have results i urge you to be more active in this work with us on air defense so that's zelenskyy. they're saying the world has enough air defense systems to

help ukraine, but he wants those air defense system to arrive in ukraine a lot faster than they have been. of course, all of that couldn't be more important than in the past two weeks where we've seen really an uptick in those russian missile attacks. we had one of the deadliest fact, this past week when the city of poltava was hit and the death toll there now stands at 55 people who have been killed and almost 300 who were injured, but also massive missiles, attacks acts that happening on monday of this week as children were just going back to school here in ukraine. and the week before that as well on top of that, sara, the ukrainians also want injured general moore arms from the u.s. but they also want the u.s to ease up restrictions on allowing the ukrainians to lose longer disused, longer distance weapons to hit targets deeper inside russia, sara a lot going on there, a lot of death, a lot of destruction, including were saying kyiv and lviv as well probably can thank you so much to you and your crew. >> stay safe out there. all right. head in the race for the white house, one campaign is spending significantly more in

absolutely free text. now this is your team you have the right set of individuals who are going to take us to the next level. >> hard knocks training camp with the chicago bears, streaming exclusively on max so this morning isn't a false promise despite the u.s pumping more oil than any country ever, former president donald trump is attacking vice president kamal harris on energy policy and he is vowing to make gaffes as cheaper i will end kamala

harris is anti-energy crusade and implement a policy of energy abundance energy independence, and even energy dominance. my plan will cut energy prices and half or more than that within 12 months of taking office it will be an economic revival of our country. like no one has ever seen before energy was what caused the problem initially energy is going to bring us back. that means we're going down and getting gasoline below $2 a gallon all right. >> below $2 a gallon. cnn's matt egan is with us now, what would it actually take to get gas below $2 a gallon? >> well, john, this may be one promise this the former president from hopes he doesn't keep because i know dirt, cheap gas sounds great. but to get there, you would

need demand to crash, likely in a global recession of veteran analyst tom kloza, he told me that chances are if we see sub $2 gasoline, it will be because because of some awful things taking place in the economy. so yeah, gas could be cheap, but you might be out of work and trump also bragged about how gas prices were below $1.90 a gallon when he was president. and i went back and look, he's right, they actually got to as low as $1, 774 plus years ago. but here's the thing. no one could take advantage if it because it was during the worst health crisis in a century. i remember driving on the new jersey turnpike with my family and there was no one on the road. it was a weekday during rush hour or so if you've ever driven in new jersey, you know, that is not normal. another thing that might sound good, but in reality, it's kind of scary. one other point here, trump is tough. talking about regulations here. he falsely claimed that the president harris wants to ban fracking. she has said that she no longer wants to do that. he also said

is going to end her quote, anti-energy crusade. that's another claim that just doesn't live up to reality when you look at the numbers because the u.s. is producing more oil right now under biden-harris than it ever did under trump. in fact, more oil than ever before in the history of the country. so that just doesn't live up to his rhetoric. >> so more oil than at any point in us. i think actually in any country in world history, in world history right now. yeah. so what does that portend for gas prices going forward yet? >> well, that is one reason why we are seeing that's prices fall rapidly. the national average is down to 330 a gallon today, down $0.16 in a month. this is a new six-month low and $0.50 cheaper than a year ago. so we're talking about he was talking about $2 gas. well, you know what, $3 gas that is actually becoming a reality more and more 41,000 gas stations across the country right now have below $3 desk. that's compared to about 100 a

year ago. and if you look at the map of the united states, we actually see ten states right now below $3 a gallon, including texas, oklahoma, south carolina, and gasbuddy's patrick de haan. he told me that by thanksgiving, we could see 35 to 40 states across the country below $3 a gallon, including some battleground states like nevada and arizona where gas prices are going down very quickly. why is this happening? well, part of it is that supply, but it's also demand weak demand in china oil market is so weak that opec was forced to reap, redo its plants. they plan to add supply. they've canceled those plans. we have oil prices below $70 a barrel for the first time all year. so you put all this together and it does suggest john that we could see gas prices continue to fall. >> also a light hurricane season that helps us with us, maddie hey, get back to new jersey back to the trump like facts they're cheap gas. >> let's go to trip guys. what

do you think roger? road trip. ready. all right. new this morning, donald trump and his advisers had envisioned an ambitious election turull map with plans to court what they call blue tinted states we have rallies. what i've done for your upcountry with the iron ore. and those people they loved us and then these guys came back and they changed everything and just disgraceful what they did but i think i'm telling you if we have an honest election, we're going to blow it out in minnesota we really want to win new hampshire all right. but as the race toward the ocean titans where now 60 days away the trump campaign is shifting their strategy and spending time and money on familiar and key battleground states cnn's steve contorno is in charlotte, north carolina, where donald trump is expected speak to the fraternal order of police a bit later today. we've heard what trump is saying, but what are you learning about this electoral map and where the

strategy has changed? >> zero in the spring and this summer, donald trump's campaign had made inroads and laid the groundwork for them to fight for minnesota, new hampshire hampshire, and virginia. these are states that in recent elections have voted democratic in presidential races. however, they believed that they had a real chance of adding those states too. their path to the white house. well, that has certainly shifted in recent weeks. if you take a look at their spending and how they have scheduled donald trump's time since that rally. st. cloud, minnesota in july, trump hasn't returned to the state, nor has j.d. vance is running mate vance instead has been mostly appearing in those key seven battlegrounds. and when you look at where they are reserved airtime for the fall. it's almost entirely in those seven states in the sunbelt and across the midwest even within those seven states is clear that they are prioritizing some states more than others. if you take a look at how they are spending in pennsylvania,

they've almost matched the democrats their dollar for dollar. same thing with georgia. but as you get down to michigan, it's a little bit of a discrepancy let's see, there, and then you get all the way to the downton, nevada democrats have spent $24 million to try to win that state and republicans have spent about $1 on the presidential race it's their, now i talked to the trump campaign. they said quote, we are still maintaining an offensive posture in these nontraditional battleground states nothing has changed as far as how we view the map. but when you talk to republicans in minnesota, in new hampshire in virginia they say, look, we agree that the trump campaign had really had a real shot at winning these states back in the summer, but the race has shifted and if the election were held today, trump would lose office three of those states, sara steven turner, thank you so much that differential in nevada was he john, but a lot of talk this morning, sara, about donald trump's answer when he was asked about his plans for

making childcare more affordable during an economic speech, listen can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable in if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance? well, i would do that and we're sitting down. i was somebody we had senator marco rubio and my daughter, ivanka was so impactful on that issue? two very important issue. but i think when you talk about the kind of numbers that i'm talking about, that because the childcare aaron judge childcare is couldn't, you know, this something you have to have it in this country, you have to have it but when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that i'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to, but they'll get used to it very quickly. and it's not going to stop them from doing business with us, but they'll have a very substantial tax because when they send product into our country, those numbers are so

much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about including childcare, that it's going to take care. we're going to have i look forward to they're having no deficits within a fairly short period of time wanted to play the whole thing for you. >> so you could see it in its totality and remember the question was your specific plans on childcare with us now republican strategist, former senior presidential campaign advisor, rina shah, and former white house spokesman for george w bush. >> pete seat read, i want to start with you. let's school's in session here, give that a great, given that answer a grade from a to f oh, john, that with a d-minus there was nothing there, nothing to grip onto to say that he showed any kind of grasp of the issue the funny. >> thing is the right and trump. >> they love to talk about how kamala harris speaks and word salad well, that was the mother of all word salad he kept talking about the number. >> what number did he give us? there was no number this was a

missed opportunity of epic proportions and he fumbling the ball. that's a candidate he is now days and yesterday as a grandfather, he could have met the moment talked about this issue and from a place of strengthening the american family, which is what the republicans of yesteryear, your people like mccain and romney and bush, we always originated with that at the core of every messaging piece we did, whether it was from capitol hello, from a presidential campaign. i'm talking we republicans, because the american family was central to everything we did nowadays, we have a divorce rate in this country of 42% and single mothers overall earn $0.56 to $1 that dads make he missed that opportunity to speak about the problem and how he would fix it by delivering that word salad. >> bc, professor seat, i should say in this case, what grade would you give that were sensitive to the fact that it just a few days he's gonna be on a stage being asked questions in a debate well, i

am a professor at the university of arizona's so thank you for acknowledging that john we don't give fs >> we have ease as the lowest grade, so i would give that an e and also an f for pass fail because it was a failure of an answer, whatever i've advised candidates for governor or u.s senate, or lower offices. i always tell them if you don't know the answer to the question, the smartest thing you can do is say that you don't know and you need to look into it. donald trump is in capable of doing that. he does not want to admit that he has no understanding of a particular issue and what's most challenging on this one, john, is child as was mentioned, is an issue that is being faced by families all across this country. friends of mine who have children are facing huge bills. they're getting on the list of waiting list for months and months, sometimes before they even know

that they have a child on the way. so it's it's a problem for donald trump that he can't answer this and he tried to pivot to something that was safe ground and it just made it even more confusing. >> i'd say if i got an iana report card, i tried to give as my parents, i meant excellent but but be that as it may professor see, we do have this debate coming up in a few days in the new york times. my producer just gave me an article lays out this case that this debate is really about vice president harris, that people made their minds up about donald trump, the article or you, shane goldmacher, i think wrote it he says they made up their minds about trump in 2016 harris, the jury is still out to some extent. so pete, how does that frame this debate? >> i think that's absolutely right. the american people are still being introduced to kamala harris, which i'm sure some folks watching this are like introduce, she's been vice president. yes, but she has

been behind the scenes. she hasn't been in the spotlight as vice president in some way. is that has benefited her in this campaign that she's somewhat of a blank slate and especially when it comes to the fact that she is trying to run on character and you look at those character attributes in polls and she outperforms donald trump, but what she's trying to remain vague. donald trump is winning on the policies that are most important to the american people. so i do think a lot of folks are going to be tuning in. they're going to want to see if kamala harris is ready for prime time and if she can stand up to an aggressive man, much like the aggressive men that for leading some of our adversarial nations across this world. >> if you accept the premise that this debate is about how vice president harris frames herself. how do you think she should approach it? rina well i think she ought to come out there, were only about how the public perceives her, not about

who she is appearing as in contrast to donald trump, because we've seen people try that before, right? and trump wins out when he sees an opening for a weakness and a weaknesses when an opponent response to him, because there's no responding did you go down this rabbit hole and you dig yourself a hole that you just can't come out. and so at the end of the day, what she wants to do is essentially reintroduced herself to the public. but what she has to do is drill deeper. she's gotta be more detailed and telling how she would be different than biden if she's got to do what almost breathlessly because trump's got nothing else. we just talked about childcare instructing the american family probe parent centered policies of which boat campaign frankly, haven't done the greatest job of differentiating themselves from one another. trump said, i did this $6,000 tax credit, kamala harris is like, i want to do that. i'm going to do that. well, tell me more and so this is a telling me more moment in which she can't worry about him. she can't worry about attacking him. she's got to just be about herself in the

most substantive way possible because in such a historic moment where she's got such limited time to run it. that's the only thing that can work against a dictator. want to be, which is donald j, tom rina shah, a pc. >> i give you both an a for this appearance. thank you so much. both for being here. i do appreciate it all right. and this debate comes on tuesday. follow cnn for complete coverage and exclusive analysis before and after the abc news presidential debate simulcast begins tuesday, 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn all right. >> this morning, we are learning more more about the victims of the mass school shooting in georgia. math teacher christina irimie was gunned down in front of her students as they were celebrating with her the day she was killed was her birthday. me and her husband never had children of their own, so she is known for treating her students as her own. joining us now is father nicolae clempus. he's a friend of christina iranian, pastor at the st. mary's romanian

orthodox church. thank you so much for coming in in your time of brief and as the community grieves, all four of those who were gunned down what should we know about mishear me hi. >> good morning. and thank you for having me well christina was dedicated teacher complete whole educator. that took the children the way they are and tried to reach them on the different levels, not only to the subjects she was teaching. and i think that's what we should remember her to be a very dedicated to the children, having always children's around her and trying to help them take them as their own. that's why she actually celebrated her birthday with the whole class, bringing treats and no having them as a family around her and that's something that tells a lot about her and her character. and she wanted to become a

teacher very, very hard work taking her degree to become a teacher and do the be around surrounded by children and students. >> it is one of the hardest jobs on the planet and she was a math teacher, so we know that those teachers work really, really, really hard how did you find out about what happened at the school and eventually what happened to her well, i started to receive calls from our people with our church is very close to the high school people who are concerned they were watching the news and they will start calling me, asking if we have any victims or anybody that is somehow in this, in this threat and later on, we started to find out the christina actually, one of the teachers that in her classroom something happened. the information was very floyd we

didn't know exactly so eventually starring in coming the evening, we saw there officials release of her picture and her name. >> and that's when everything started devastated community and the call started in and we just we were taken by surprise. he was a normal day they the beginning of the school year everybody was planning and this game over our community very sudden and very tragic. and we are still actually recovering from that and even though this is, today is a new day, a new hopes. but still the tragedy is still with us and we are talking with and trying to go to it's so very fresh on the minds of everyone in that community and the entire country honestly, this threat, these tragedies keep happening again and again at schools as a person person of great faith. what advice do you have for all of us as we deal with something like this, especially when

dealing with young people where you have a 14 accused in this shooting. and then you have to students to students who were 14 and two teachers who were greatly loved by this community yeah, it's very difficult situation and he's not the only one that happened this year. >> we have many, many shootings that it actually employed children and i wish i had a single advice, but i think it's a it's a multiple multiple problems. >> we haven't we should have multiple approaches to it, but definitely we should be more careful how children have access to guns and how easy it is for a child that goes through different difficulty denature, life, or adolescence basically to have access to a gun and then creates so much pain. >> and the life of so many people that are important to

the community and in our educational process. >> so my advice is to let children be children and no have them enjoy their young lives, but don't expose them to the dangerous that we have today in our society for the clempus. thank you so much for joining us and i am so sorry for your loss there and for the loss of that entire community. i appreciate you. john federal agents have raided the homes of several top new york city officials, including top aides and mayor eric adams. >> we've got new reporting on what they're looking for. and then football oh, it is a game of inches. the first game of the season was decided by even less also, taylor swift was there cnn, special event, the abc news presidential debate, tuesday at nine on cnn recipes recipes written by hand. last

mvp lamar jackson electric game-high wanted or 22 yards rushing, a passing touchdown on the final play, setting up the game tying score, official says touchdown isaiah likely celebrating coach harbaugh it was going to go for two and the wind. but look at this, the ravens losing the season opener by a long toenail that black clip on the white line. chiefs win 27, 20 moles, now five and one against jackson's ravens in the nfl season it starts with drama still think it's a tied i say, this is probably the worrying. >> we don't play all year. so this is the best that they got good luck was a great football team and i'm sure we'll see him again at some point in the playoffs. >> so now we're happy with the wind now and she'll were white cleats next time that's my that's my advice for him. >> now tonight, nfl melodrama titled love hurts. jordan loves packers. jalen hurts eagles and set paolo, nfl's first ever

on yeah, it's definitely a wow, john, it's significant because this is the first time that we have seen federal investigators really go after eric adams, most inner circle, his top advisers. >> so that is where the wow factor is certainly here. now what we're learning from sources is that this investigation that's going on, these search warrants that we're executed, they don't have to do with a probe that is into possible campaign finance violations of eric adams. if you remember his own personal devices and cell phones were taken by the fbi last year with that investigation there's also shows there's multiple investigations happening here, but let's go back and repeat who these search warrants were executed against nypd top commissioner edward caban, first deputy mayor sheena wright, deputy mayor for public safety. philip banks, who is one of atoms most closest confidants. school chancellor david banks, who is phillips banks brother and a purse of former police inspector who's
