every done and we remember him still being held now, almost a year in gaza at the hands of hamas, adi alexander. thank you so much. new hour of cnn news central starts now the racist and x rated posts by a trump backed candidate in a key swing state a gut punch is how one former republican lawmaker describes it we're getting a new read on the impact. >> it's all having this morning it happening now, voting millions of americans across multiple states can start casting the first in-person ballots today and he is so good, it is almost making a mockery of the game. he makes it look so freaking he is the history made in baseball overnight. sara is out today. i'm john berman with kate baldwin and this is cnn new central
6:02 am
for new developments and a crucial swing state this morning, cnn's k kfile uncovering a disturbing online history behind north carolina's republican nominee for governor mark robinson. he's the current lieutenant governor of the state, kfile reporting that robinson posted on a porn site messaging board starting in 2008 a lot one post describing himself as a quote black nazi robinson also calling for slavery to be reinstated, posting the quote is, as you see, there, slavery is not bad. some people need to be slaves. add to that countless lewd and sexually explicit posts. robinson is a close ally of donald trump. he has denied all of this. cnn's dianne gallagher is in charlotte tracking it all and there is so much he says this
6:03 am
is not him tell us more what he's saying and what you are hearing now this morning in north carolina? >> that's okay. mark robinson remains the republican candidate for governor here in rucker line of the deadline for him to withdraw past midnight. >> so there were a lot of questions swirling on whether or not this would cause him to drop his campaign. but absentee ballots are out to military and overseas citizens of north carolina. so we can't do that now. those questions were swirling because of this kfile investigation that did find those bizarre in some cases lewd, salacious, gratuitous comments on that pornography he site written between 2008 and 2012. now robinson, a conservative republican, has denied he made those comments he is again, currently lieutenant governor of the state. this is what he told kfile's andrew kaczynski speculating on how they may have come about
6:04 am
going to get into the minutia of house on my manufactured this all these salacious tabloid lines but i can tell you this. there's been over $1 million spent on me through ai by billionaire son who's bound and determined to destroy me. the things that people can do with the internet now was incredible. >> you mentioned ai are you saying that somebody was somehow manufacturing biographical details to exactly match you using your username i have no idea how this was done. okay. well, how do you explain some of this being on the internet web archive? something that can't be i've made my position clear and we are done with this mentioned web archives, the things of that nature basically, kfile did extensive investigation and research into this these comments were made on this pornography sites, nude africa, between 2008 and 2012 under a username that cnn was
6:05 am
able to identify as robinson by matching with eight litany of biographical details and shared email address addresses that were across multiple platforms robinson listed his full name on his profile on nude africa as well as the email address that he used across numerous sites online for decades. and i do want to warn everyone that some of the things we're about to share that he commented are very disturbing too. here he refers to himself as a perv and in one post, he graphically described in great detail becoming aroused by his own memories of peeping on women in a public jim shower. as a 14-year-old despite a history of anti-transgender rhetoric, he talks about enjoying transgender pornography auger and then in another thread, commenters were considering whether or not they should believe a woman who says that she had been raped by a taxi driver while she was in toxic hated robinson wrote, quote, and the moral of the story,
6:06 am
don't eff, a white the post included numerous anti muslim anti-semitic, and homophobic language. he repeatedly bashed, of course, civil rights leader martin luther king, junior but the north carolina republican party is sticking by him in this. they released a statement last night that said, in part, quote, mark robinson has categorically denied the allegations made by cnn, but that won't won't stop the left from trying to demonize him via personal attacks. the left needs this election to be a personality contest. not a policy contest, because if voters are focused on policy see republicans win on election day. kate, i can tell you that democrats are working hard up and down the ballot right now to attach their opponents to robinson listen to these comments dianne gallagher thank you very much for the reporting. john book on that very point, donald trump has endorsed robinson, who has been at some of his campaign rallies in north carolina, trump called
6:07 am
him, quote, martin luther king on steroids. cnn's alayna treene is with us now in all day yesterday on social media and everywhere there were these these tweets and whispers about what the trump campaign was doing. all of this, trying to get robinson out of this race. how did they feel about all this this morning? >> well, look officially, john, they are declining to comment on the specific details of this kfile investigation, but behind the scenes, i am learning a lot more one thing i think to point out is that when i talked to some people close to the former president, i learned that some people in donald trump's inner orbit had actually been prepared for a very controversial and potentially damaging story about robinson to drop this week, they had heard rumblings about the story. now, one thing that we have to watch for the timing of this is pretty remarkable is that donald trump is actually expected to do a rally tomorrow in north carolina and wilmington, north carolina.
6:08 am
now, when i talked to trumps people close to the former president, they say that even before this story had dropped, they had not invited robinson to attend that event, and now they are expecting that decision to hold and look, i mean, robinson, it's interesting in itself because donald trump and has praised robinson in the past, you mentioned that he has endorsed him. i he endorsed him earlier this year. he referred to him as martin luther king on steroids during that endorsement. and robinson has been at most, if not all, of donald trump's recent events in north carolina last month, he brought him on stage to speak at his rally and ash where he also recently spoke at donald trump's economic speech in north carolina. so it is interesting that he is not going to appear with him tomorrow. i think you can read between the lines there, but to take a step back, i think it's also worth noting that when i talk to donald trump's team and many people close to the former president. they have had long held concerns about robinson and his gubernatorial pendency. now, this isn't the first time we have heard
6:09 am
inflammatory things that robinson has said in the past, he had mocked victims of school shootings he had demeaned the civil rights movement. and really when i when i talk to donald trump's allies, they said that they had been hoping that he would drop out because of these controversial comments. now, i will say when i talked to donald trump's campaign, they insist that there have been no efforts as of now to pressure robinson to withdraw from the race. again, they're hoping that might be a decision that he made himself. of course, the deadline to do so, for it to drop out was yesterday and so there's a lot of things still percolating behind the scenes now, the one statement we they'd get on the record from the trump campaign did not mention any of the specific details in this story, but they did point out that north carolina is vital to donald trump winning in november. so the stakes here aren't just about robinson who wasn't already doing so great in that gubernatorial race. but the stakes are very high for donald trump. they very much okay guys that north carolina is key to victory come
6:10 am
november. so i think there'll be a lot more on this yeah, it will be fascinating to see that rally in north carolina on saturday. >> meanwhile, trump was doing are trying to do outreach to jewish voters, but had maybe a peculiar message in the process. >> that's right. so yesterday he addressed at two separate events was addressing jewish supporters and this was really a goal of donald trump to try and court this has been something we've seen for months now, trying to court disaffected jewish americans who are maybe upset or don't agree with the way that the biden administration it has been handling the war between israel and hamas. however, we did hear donald trump make a series of controversial statements during both of these events yesterday at one point, he argued that jewish americans would be partially to blame if he loses the election. he also reiterated past comments that he has made that a suggestion us did that jewish supporters are not sufficiently pro israel if they do not vote for donald
6:11 am
trump, he has said that they would have their head examine. so a lot of controversial things, even though of course the goal of this is to try and bring more of these people onto his side as he looks ahead to november, john landed treene a lot going on and thanks so much for being with us with us now the president and ceo of when and executive committee chair of the new york state democratic committee. christina quinn, christine quinn, and cnn political commentator and republican strategist shermichael singleton. i think everyone this morning is trying to digest the k file reporting on lieutenant governor robinson and figure out how it might play in the presidential election in look, i'm not sure we know for sure, but i do know that the trump campaign and timing is everything shermichael is releasing an ad this morning attacking vice president harris on the issue of transgender healthcare transgender, you say, well mark robinson apparently was cheering on transgender porn kfile reporting on this message board, one of the things you you wrote and cover years that's effing hot. it takes the man out while leaving the
6:12 am
man in robinson wrote in, yeah i'm a pr of two the reason i'm showing this juxtaposition here is i know that we don't know what the impact will be, but probably no impact isn't the answer. >> i mean, look, i think is there a potential for it to make the race more competitive at the presidential level? certainly, you don't want the trump campaign to have to spend money in a state that they should just pretty easily win when those funds can be directed in a state like pennsylvania, which is really a must win for the former president. i'm also really, really worried john about the impact this is going to have down-ballot congressional races state races where the state house, state senate, this guy is not going to win this race. i can just make that very clear now, he's just not going to when he's been behind for i think several months now by pretty substantial margins, the state party there had an opportunity to go with former congressman and mark walker.
6:13 am
he's a pastor. this is someone who's a traditional conservative in the contextual sense. i think he's someone who probably would have won that seat even if it would have been more competitive. instead, they decided to go with this guy and look at the results. this is someone that they clearly didn't know opposition research on. this is someone who certainly as a vulnerability in a liability and in my personal opinion as a strategist, they need to kick him out. forget that well, let's just see what happens. force him out of this and the deadline was last night, but you get on stage shattering, cut him loose and say, you know what you know, whatever legal maneuvering they need to figure out if possible. right. because i'm not sure of the state laws there, but if there is some way to replace them with someone else, they need to figure that out. otherwise, they could just kissed a seeker by christine, if you are the harris campaign how much and what do you do with this? >> well, the thing about what's happening now as lieutenant lieutenant governor robinson as horrible and
6:14 am
bizarre. these posts are the thing to note is this isn't the first time a trump supporter or trump ally has said anti-semitic or racist or homophobic name the ism said horrible things and every other time and including this time the trump does not speak out, does not condemn so this just adds to the drumbeat of his silence empowering these hateful supporters. so if you're the harris campaign, you actually don't have to do that much. because all of the bad behaviors here speak for themselves right? >> what the harris campaign has been doing at least last night, was this event in michigan with oprah winfrey, was this long sit down discussion. a lot of subjects came up one of the subjects that came up was harris's purported gun ownership. she says she owns a
6:15 am
gun. oprah asked about that. listen to this moment powerful at the convention when you, when you said you have gotten to know at the debate on her, tim, know that the game shot oh, no, we didn't play the whole bite i will paraphrase the rest of the bite for her. she says its own breaks into my house he's getting shot and then she went on to say that the key i probably shouldn't have said that. and that the campaign will have to clean it up. later. shermichael, you've actually talked a lot about harris is talking about gun ownership. what do you think the impact, but look, i'm happy to hear that the vice president supports to castle doctrine, which is something that i democrats threads don't typically support there are 2 million unregistered gun owners in this country right now, one organization vote for america they're working on engaging in registering gun owners in states like pennsylvania, georgia, where i think between those two states alone is maybe
6:16 am
close to about 1 million of them who are just disengaged with the political process all together. >> their hope is that by engaging what these low propensity disengaged voters that can potentially be an asset to the former president. and what we know will be a marginally close race. while the vice president may indeed on a gun, i'm not exactly sure that this would resonate with those individuals because they just have very different views on gun ownership broadly speaking, from the vice president, particularly as it pertains to ar-15, it looked one might be skeptical, christine, that she really thinks the campaign will have to clean it up one might think because she's raised the fact that she owns a gun before she's actually pretty into those comments >> i mean, i think she said that and kind of just in case, but i think that's right she and governor walz have have definitely more than i would've thought, leaned into the fact that they are gun owners. and as she indicated yesterday, not afraid to use those guns. so it's not typically something you hear from democratic
6:17 am
candidates, though i think it clearly is what it's smart to put it out there, particularly as one of the battlegrounds for this election are white men you know, independent voters that this may be compelling to those voters. >> christine quinn, shermichael singleton. >> nice to see you both have a great weekend. okay a judge shot and killed inside his own chambers and it was the sheriff pressed who allegedly pulled the trigger. >> now investigators are trying to figure out why and new reports in the last hour of israel and lebanon trading more fire, both rocket fire and airstrikes. we're live in beirut with very latest reaction to the first one it was overwhelming. >> the idea that this fictional character played any role in politics is bananas tv on the edge, moments that shaped our culture premiere sunday at nine on cnn i didn't have to spend

6:23 am
also found out as at this point, there was no one inside the chambers when this argument started. and the sheriff apparently indicates investigators but at some point, he started shooting. so this accused shooter, open fire and the judge was killed. now the other parts of this that are so baffling you're talking about the two top law enforcement officials in this county, letcher county now, we don't know where the sheriff is because obviously they can't take him to his jail. they had to take them to another county. and the person who would do the first court appearance was that the judge? judge mullins, who is now dead. you can obviously understand why there has been so impactful to that small community. take a listen to state troopers well we know that there was an argument between the two that led up. but what exactly transpired prior to the shots being fired still, things that we're trying to get answers to. this community is small in nature, and we're all shook you're talking about the idea of the two top law enforcement officials getting into some sort of argument, even reaching out to sources who work in that area so far they're not even
6:24 am
giving an indication about whether or not there was an ongoing beef, was it something personal? >> these are questions that have to get answered at this point. we still have a first court appearance that has to happen. kate, it's going to have to happening in another county because obviously the courthouse is closed parts of that town were put on lockdown yesterday as they thought they had an active shooter, but then they found out the sheriff and the top district judge were involved in some argument that led the judge being killed. he was only 54-years-old okay. >> yeah. the courthouse also a crime scene now, i mean, it's just so much there so much, brian. thank you. thank you so much coming up for us. we are days away from a possible government shutdown speaker mike johnson may be running out of options to keep the lights on. the very latest on that funding fight as it crashes head-on with a presidential election calendar. and we are also following breaking news. israel struck saturday syscall cnn is taking a break from breaking news to air. >> have i got news for you? >> breaking news. i'm getting a sandwich. >> we need to talk about what constitutes breaking news. >> provide got news for you

join me at time.com and get paid when you say wednesday they. >> dynamite i tbs all right. >> we do have breaking news a few moments ago, israel reporting it carried out what it is calling a targeted strike in beirut. >> you can see the smoke rising there over parts of this city seen by cnn's cameras with me here. >> cnn chief national security analyst jim sciutto. but first let's go to cnn chief senior national correspondent, national correspondent ben wedeman, who is in beirut. ben, what are you seeing there? >> yeah. well, about 40 minutes ago, we saw smoke rising from the southern suburbs of beirut, specifically the jamous neighborhood. now according to
6:30 am
the official lebanese state news agency an f35 fired two rockets it's on a residential building in that area. now, we're getting reports of many casualties. the official news agency is talking about initially, five children kill killed, but clearly there are many more, perhaps injured now the israeli military immediately, i'm really within just minutes, came out and acknowledged that they had conducted a strike on beirut. this is the third strike on beirut since the beginning of the year. now, we don't know exactly who the target was. we are seeing lots of reports, certain coming out of israel that the target was able to him appeal. who is a senior member of the military aspect? the military part of hezbollah. and this comes just a month-and-a-half after another. these senior leader of the
6:31 am
military, part of his butler was killed. fu'ad shukr and it certainly comes in a week that has seen first the pager blast than the walkie-talkie blasts. and now this so it really does represent a dramatic escalation in a week where we've already seen dramatic events here in lebanon, really, the tension is boiling over at this point i could hear ambulances rushing to the scene. so we'll just try to get you more details as they come in, but certainly ten city is ever more tenser. >> john. >> yeah, we know you've got reporting. you do, ben. thank you so much for being with us find out as much as it can let us know what you learn. the media in time. i'm here again with chief national security analyst jim sciutto jim israel itself says, this is a new era of the war between israel and hezbollah in lebanon. >> is that. what we're seeing here? do if you have all the ingredients for an escalation
6:32 am
here, the u.s. >> and others view2 strikes inside beirut as fundamentally different from israeli strikes in southern lebanon, which are quite frequent. in fact, when i was in israel last month in retaliation for that attempted hezbollah attack, us officials but it well israel is concentrating its fire on the south, not in beirut. we look at that as avoiding escalation. so here you have strikes in beirut. you had this massive unprecedented pager and walkie-talkie attack, which is can be seen certainly it's an escalation by israel and keep in mind, it was only a few weeks ago when hezbollah attempted a massive escalation of their own, this massive missile and rocket barrage that was only caught about a half-hour before it took off duty us and israeli intelligence so israel was able to snuff out that attempted escalation. so from each side. you have them raising the level here add to that israel saying quite publicly now, we're turning our focus from the south and gaza to the north, which is not new really, it's been a matter of time when it when i was in israel after
6:33 am
october 7, israeli officials soldiers, and residents of the north said, once we're done in gaza, we have to deal with the problem in the north, go after hezbollah attempted the push them back from the border. so all those israelis who've been forced south can go back to their home. so it's really been a matter of time before you reach that point of escalation as well? the nasty mix, and it's hard to see how we, how we avoid this turning to something much bigger. >> you are all over the north and the months after october 7, watching the back-and-forth there, the simmering back and forth. it's no longer simmering it's it past that point, jim, i don't know if you spoken to any us officials about this, but is there any assessment about how much hezbollah's capabilities might have been damaged in the last several days. >> listen, they've had a massive vulnerability exposed, right? first of all, their communications have absolutely been disrupted. there's no question and hezbollah is certainly doing an internal review. now the figure out how this happened, right? and do they have intelligence weaknesses as well someone
6:34 am
says, the answer is clearly they do, but do they have insiders providing formation to the israelis, which was part of the reason it's been theory or theorized that israel got a heads-up prior to that attempted hezbollah attack last month, right? they listen, they infiltrate hezbollah. so they're assessing that and might want to do that before they attempted when he any major escalation. i suppose the one thing that might hold hezbollah back and you've heard this for months, going back to october 7, is that hezbollah doesn't really want a full-scale war with israel because it calculates, it might very well lose that war. plus they have enormous public opposition within lebanon to going to war again with israel and hezbollah is a terrorist organization, but it's also a political organization in lebanon. they have to be conscious of their base as it were. where as well. but listen as the attacks escalate, it's hard to see how they don't respond very quickly as israel turns his attention north. >> what does that mean for gaza? well, here's the thing. you saw the wall street journal story today about us officials it's quietly conceding that
6:35 am
the ceasefire talks do not appear to be going anywhere. and that's something you and i have seen quite clearly for some time now and i've been speaking to us officials it's involved whose hope for a breakthrough has been dwindling over time. first of all, imagine hostage families, right? their reaction to this, but the talk of a ceasefire, there was seen as one way to avoid an escalation in the north and that that might hold hezbollah back from an escalation if those talks are dead, that's yet another ingredient to potential expansion of this war. >> jim sciutto, great to senior thank you so much for being all right. we've got new reporting this morning on how the wildly explicit comments by the lieutenant governor of north carolina could impact the presidential race. >> every weekday. morning. >> here are the five things you need to know to start your day. get the news, you need about this for an earnings call headline in five minutes or less cnn's plaque things with kate bolduan streaming weekdays on cnn.com and max thinking

6:41 am
look, it's as close as you can be in the presidential race. it is a tie right at this particular in the governor's race, even before this scandal rocked everything, the democrat stein was ahead, by ten points. so the bottom line was look, mark robinson was very likely to lose this race even before the scandal. now he's likely more likely to lose this, right? so let's, let's talk about the tie in north carolina and the importance of that state in this election, right? so this is the chance of winning the election. if you win north carolina, the bottom line is does this if kamala harris wins in the great state of north carolina, she's got a 95% chance of winning the election. there are many maps in which she can win the election without north carolina, that's less so for donald trump because he has only a 77% chance of winning the election if he wins in north carolina. so the bottom line is must win state much more for donald trump than it is for common according to nate silver on his silver bullet messaging board, he talks about the importance of every state, what state would be a tipping point here, obviously for harris, if he wins that likely to win trump a little less so, but still pretty important to
6:42 am
both, still, still pretty gosh, darn important to both. >> and you know, when we talk about this story and how much of an impact i think could potentially have. look, this is an immediate measure. google searches for mark robinson through the roof since the kfile story came out, look at this up over 8,000% nationally. and even in the great state of north carolina where they were searching for him more than they were nationally. it's up nearly 4,000%. so the bottom line is, this is a scandal that could definitely have a big potential for impact and a very important state in the presidential election, john interesting, this is less though, because they know the idea would be they already know what's going on down there they were already searching for not big surprise people in north korea carolina were more interested in that gubernatorial race before this scandal than folks nationally. but now the folks nationally are certainly interested. and that's part of the reason why we're talking this morning about harry enten. >> great to see, great. >> much. kate also this morning, here is how axios describes the state of things on capitol hill johnson's coming, surrender, referring to the ongoing fight and uncertainty around we'll keeping the lights on the
6:43 am
battle of pat over passing a government funding bill by okay. >> the october 1 deadline before the government starts shutting down house speaker mike johnson's first move failed. he told reporters thursday. now we go back to the now we go back to the playbook. there are ten days to that deadline. what's the playbook? where are they headed? joining me right now is republican congressman mike lawler from new york congressman. thanks for jumping in. you told manu, i think it was yesterday but you said obviously the speaker is going to have to recalibrate bottom line. you said there's not going to be a shutdown what is the plan today but ultimately, i think the speaker is going to have to put a three-month clean cr and maybe have some disaster relief or, anything that needs to be in there over the next three months but we're not having a shutdown with you know, 46, 47 days to go in an election we will obviously have to complete our appropriations work when we come back in the land same duck session and ensure that the
6:44 am
government is funded. >> government shutdowns don't help anybody. they actually cost more money. there's no savings they're so to me this is not a function of saving money and it would be the height of stupidity to shut the government down just before an election it's refreshing hear that candid and accurate assessment of what shutdowns do. >> actually is though, is reporting that some conservatives like ralph norman, he said, like what their take on a short-term cr a three-month are in a clean one, ralph norman saying that there'll be a lot of disappointment if johnson goes by partisan asked if johnson would face vault if he moved ahead with a clean three-month bill. jim banks said, i sure hope so. and then you've donald trump, who is pushing for a government shutdown when it comes to a clean cr to that, you say, what look you know, i certainly read some of my colleagues comments.
6:45 am
>> i mean, the reality is if you wanted certain things things, then you need to make sure you have the votes to pass it. and unfortunately, some of my colleagues voted against acr because they don't believe in it and that's fine. that's their right. as representatives. but at the end of the day if they don't want to vote for a cr we still need to keep the government we funded and open and in a divided government in which democrats control the senate and the white house. the only way to get something passed is bipartisan legislation. so from my vantage point, the reality of the situation is that there's going to be a short-term cr to keep the government funded so that we get through election day, come back and negotiate the final appropriations package for fiscal year 25 and pass it in the lame duck does that. >> do i assume correctly than what i hear from you is you'll vote to support a short-term clean cr if that's what it is
6:46 am
oh, absolutely. as i have last year and will continue i do not believe shutting down the government does anything to help the american people. >> let me ask you this. donald trump, president trump last night said that if he who's loses the presidential election, it would be in large part because of jewish people. he said this at an event opposing anti-semitism. let me play, let me play this there's no way that i should be getting 40% of the vote. i'm the one that's protecting you. what i heard that number today, i think it was insulting to our country it was insulting to israel any jewish person that votes for her, especially now her or the democrat party should have their head examined in my opinion, the jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss if i'm at 40 40% if i don't win this election, jewish people would have a lot to do with it. are you okay
6:47 am
with those statements look, i was there last night and listen to the president's comments. >> i certainly i believe what the president is talking about is frankly the importance of the jewish vote in this election. i represent a district that has one of the largest jewish communities in america and i will do very well in that community because i have focused on the issues of protecting the state of israel and combating anti-semitism i've passed numerous pieces of legislation, including the special envoy for the abraham accords the ship act, and the iran-china energy sanctions act to take on the illicit oil trade that joe biden and kamala harris have allowed between china and iran, as well as the antisemitism awareness act to combat antisemitism on our college campuses president trump obviously has a strong record of standing up for israel and the jewish people. and i think what he was expressing obviously is that they are going to i have a big
6:48 am
voice in this election and especially in districts like mine and so they will, they will have a voice in determining the outcome congressman is blaming jewish people good electoral strategy i don't think he wasn't blaming jewish people what he was saying at the end of the day is it? it doesn't win. it'll be in part because jewish people didn't vote for him. he obviously has a strong record population in your district, is he has a history of kind of perpetuating an anti-semitic trope of about one will do loyalties of jews, which he he said, you know, if, if they vote for democrats, they hate respect and respectfully, kate respectfully donald trump put in place in 2019 in an executive order to adopt the ihra working definition of antisemitism and forced the department of education to take on anti-semitism on college
6:49 am
campus so he has stood up against the people like this though look, you can ask him about his wording at the end of the day. >> i think everybody they are understood what he was talking about, which was in the end, jewish people will have a big say in this election. obviously the issues israel, an anti-semitism have confronted the country over the last many months and this is something that matters to people in my district and across the country. the relationship between israel and the united states standing up for the jewish people and combating anti-semitism and i think his point was ultimately, they will have a big voice in the outcome of this election congressman. >> thank you very much. you choose your words very specifically inappropriate britley, when it comes to all of the policy that you speak route so that is the point i'm trying to make. it's good to see you. thank you for coming in john all right. >> all right he is so good.
