classified documents on israel's preparation for potential retaliatory attack on iran. you know that has implications for us as a nation. anybody who goes to war that we are such a close ally with with such an evil opponent as iran matters to us. according to the white house spokesman, u.s. officials have confirmed on saturday that the administration is in fact investigating an unauthorized release of classified documents which assessed israel's plan to attack iran. this matters to israel into us. white house national security spokesperson john kirby said the administration was still not certain that the classified information was leaked or hacked. at 1:30 p.m. eastern white house press secretary karine jean-pierre is holding a press briefing. a lot happening that we are monitoring this hour. stay close to fox.

>> in the wake of this horrible storm, many americans in this region felt helpless and abandoned and left behind by their government. and yet north carolina's hour of desperation the american people answered the call. citizens poured into western north carolina from all over the country bringing food, water, fuel, medical aid, even helicopters. >> john: former president donald trump moments ago during hurricane hit north carolina surveying the damage with million survivors in his latest attempt to humanize himself with undecided voters all the while the harris campaign wants and portrayed as danger to demo democracy. >> and many, many ways donald trump is an unserious man but the consequences of him being president of the united states are brutally serious. >> you aren't ordinary. you aren't ordinary. thank you very much. a great honor. >> is this the kind of guy you

want in charge of the nuclear codes? is this the guy that you actually think will spend any time thinking about you as a voter and you as a person? >> how good are the barbers h here. i can see they are good. they look good to me. nice to see you. are you the owner? you did that very nice and easy. is he as good as you? nice to see you. thank you very much. >> it's very clear that as you said it donald trump is spiraling down, unhinged. >> we want to give you a hard hat. yeah! >> john: with that we are in the final stretch. the sprint to the finish. i am john roberts in washington. are you ready to go sandra? >> sandra: what it is a question mark 57 days off? it shows. they are both out there and we are following them.

i am sandra smith in new york. this is "america reports." 15 days to go until election day. the former president is using his time to speak directly to everyday americans and what we are seeing from the harris campaign. she is spending her time trying to build up the blue wall in a three state battleground blitz. >> john: so that she can hold onto the states that biden won back in 2020. we will talk to a panel of matt gorman and jonathan caught. >> sandra: fox team coverage kicks off now as it peter doocy is covering her movements in the midwest. >> john: aishah hasnie is employing the old adage that you can't hit a moving target. she is traveling with the president, literally traveling in north carolina. what is the latest from where you are? >> john and sandra good to see you. i am in the motorcade now heading back to the airport as we set off for our next out. we are just approaching the airport now and what we saw 20 minutes ago near asheville was devastating. took my breath away. it was the first time the former president saw the destruction

close up firsthand and you could tell he was moved by the people there. the people were moved by him. he was stunned by the damage and despite the damage that we saw on the ground, people in north carolina are voting paired people in that area are voting and the former president even said he was stunned by that. the early voting numbers here north carolina statewide have reached about 1 million and he could not believe that. a couple things that came out of the event here. he was asked if he has seen any signs of cheating this early in the election season and he said he had not. he said he was impressed by the turn out. he said the rnc is watching voting very carefully and even with north carolina being such a critical state for this campaign, john, such a critical path to the white house, he is actually more concerned about getting these people back on their feet. listen to what he told me here. >> are you worried that some

people here won't be able to vote? >> voting is the least right now. they have to vote, they want to vote because it's very important but they have to survive. >> it's is an all day north carolina blitz here for the former presidents three events total and we are heading to greenville next where he will do more of a stump speech, more of a rally kind of event and he will talk about immigration and the economy. two things he excels in, does really well here in north carolina according to our most recent poll. we are just now approaching the airport and we will catch you when we get to greenville. >> john: one of the ladies on the bus in the selection. thank you. >> sandra: moving right along. now up north where vice president kamala harris is trying to shore up the blue wall making three different stops with liz cheney today paired senior white house correspondent peter doocy is live and royal oak, michigan, where she will arrive a short time from now. what is the strategy behind it joining forces?

>> the harris team admitted today it is a tiny sliver of voters who have yet to make up their mind. they are trying to help voters and blue wall states decided by putting vice president harris on stage with liz cheney, the first event of the day. first of 3 just wrapped up. >> i believe that everyone of us in this election has a duty and an obligation to do what we know is right for the country and that is to support vice president harris. >> i has a vice president met over 150 rule leaders. many of them multiple times to a point where we are on first-name basis. in the last few times i have seen them in the relative eve of this election, they are very concerned. >> what a difference or years makes. late summer 2020. she was campaigning against

harris. >> it's very clear. she is a radical liberal. i think the american people will take a look at this record and realized she is very much a radical liberal. >> liz cheney described herself as conservative but elected republicans don't want anybody confusing the vp as conse conservative. >> to every republican supporting her, what are you doing? you are supporting the most radical nominee in the history of american politics. i can't take four more years of this. if you are supporting her, you are supporting four more years of garbage policy. >> this is the first time vice president harris has visited all three of the blue wall states in a single day this cycle. when you look around there's not a ton of harris walz signage good all that we can see on this small theater in royal oak, they updated the marquee to say country over party.

>> sandra: i remember that moment while with liz cheney. she said that to me and an interview in early 2020. peter doocy on that for us. thank you. >> john: let's bring in our panel to dig in deeper on this. the executive vice president of targeted victory and former vice president communications for senator manchin. more on liz cheney who said things like this in the past. kamala harris has a more liberal outing record than bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. a legal immigrant health care, illuminating private health insurance, would be devastating for america or kamala harris is a radical literal who would take away health and insurance yada, yada, yada were amazing to watch how casually kamala harris lies to the iowa sr. about health care and there was this about what she called stomach harris-biden administration. >> they would defund the police, dismantle freedom, destroy our history, and abandon founding values. >> john: i could go on.

>> i find it hilarious that anyone in michigan will be convinced by liz cheney or any of these other has been former republicans who campaigned with her. there's a thin pool of persuadable voters and liz cheney, you know who you voted for a year. kamala talks about the opinions of chancellors and kings and who have donald trump serving fries at mcdonald's and connecting with every voter. it shows the difference of priorities and opinions. >> john: let's take a look at the average paired of the seven battleground states in which donald trump now has a marginal lead in all of them. jonathan, who has the momentum with 15 days left? >> it is a 50/50 toss-up for all of the states. if you look at the numbers. i think she has been trending up since the day she got into the race. he is barely ahead and he is well within the margin of error and if i were him and i was the known quantity that he is and he has never been able to crack 50%

in any of these states, i would be a lot more worried. she hasn't been at the top of the ticket. she has gone into the race and in two months she has consolidated the party, gotten a bunch of republicans to cross over, got liz cheney to change her mind on her and support her and she is consolidating voters but she's going and talking to voters directly where they are and are trying to win voters who can actually vote and change the election, not going to talk to people in the bronx. donald trump has no chance of winning the bronx. the jets have a better chance of winning the super bowl then donald trump has of winning the bronx. she's going to suburbs outside of philadelphia, she's going to places outside of detroit. she is doing what is smart. he is holding fake photo ops at mcdonald's. >> john: which goes viral. and captivating the new cycle. i bet he's good at pickleball. take this.

a lot of democrats invulnerable swing states do seem to be embracing donald trump if even temporarily. listen here. >> president trump to sign her made in america bill. >> that's why i wrote a bill signed by donald trump forcing drug companies to sign their actual. >> he sided with trump to end nafta and put tariffs on china to stop them from cheating. >> john: if you can't beat them, join them. >> don't listen to what they say, watch what they do. watch the actions. tammy baldwin, even bob casey praising trump in ads and featuring favorably in ads and that tells me they see in their polling that things are not going the way they need to at the top of the ticket and they need to run for cover a little bit and get the trump crossover voters. that tells me more than anything where the races are in the states. >> john: let's get back to mcdonald's. here's what he said at mcdonald's. >> it was a part of her resume that she worked at mcdonald's and how tough a job it was.

she specifically worked at the french fry where they make the french fries and she talked about the heat. it was so tough to her she never at mcdonald's. >> john: a viral moment that captured the new cycle for two day spirit someone tweeted to me if you can fix the ice cream machine, the election is over. she doesn't have that. >> but keep in mind what does viral moment was. it was a fake photo op of him lying there. >> but that's not fake. all those people on the street outside of mcdonald's. i don't think they bust them in. >> but he went to mcdonald's where there was no one there. the people that came up to the drive-through were fake. he lied on camera. >> john: i don't think they were fake people. >> they were staged people. they were not actually people. >> john: but that's what they call it a photo op. what will you do, open up the drive-through? come on. >> these are important. just like a bunch of people

spontaneously don't appear at a gymnasium at the same time for a rally. if kamala worked at mcdonald's, her team should've had this done a month ago. she's very good at retail politics and you talk about the top. this humanizes him in a way. when the democrats go with the apocalyptic rhetoric he will and democracy, this helps humanize him. working the fry later just like with the barbershop. this brings a softer side of him and he's very relatable. we went and those people on the streets were six or eight deep. >> he has passionate supporters. his job is to go on and talk to them. these weird photo ops and messages of arnold palmer. >> john: at least trump has never tried to put a show and a shotgun. or take in a pump action shotgun to go pheasant hunting. >> i would put tim walz up against donald trump on who shot a gun. that i am confident on. >> john: 15 days left to go. appreciate it.

there you go sandra. >> sandra: i suppose everyone has their thoughts on the mcdonald's moment but the former president despite all the varied reactions seem to embrace the moment when he was speaking a short time ago. >> john: they certainly did. the thing at mcdonald's, it was a lark and he was having fun appeared what happened earlier today is obviously very, very serious for all those folks who are suffering so badly even now. >> sandra: took the job of putting the fries in the carton very, very seriously as one should. we are waiting a white house press briefing should be just moments away there at the white house. after reports of a u.s. leak that may have compromised an israeli attack plan. we are getting brand-new details about it. former pentagon official brent sadler is here to explain why this could have happened plus this. >> so.

>> john: we are anticipating a white house briefing to get underway soon as israeli defense forces on lease air strikes targeting the financial arm of hezbollah. this is we learn about an alarming leak from here at home that may have compromised israel's plans to strike back

against iran. former pentagon official brent sadler on deck to react to that but first let's get to trey yingst live on the ground in high foot israel. what are we hearing about that where you are? >> good afternoon. overnight israel launched a series of air strikes against hezbollah length banks across lebanon appeared smoke could be seen rising from the capital of beirut, specifically in the neighborhood, a hezbollah stronghold and one location near the airport. in addition to the lebanese capital, the becca valley saw senior strikes after an official brief the media about efforts to weaken hezbollah's ability to finance the war against israel. on the ground israel is continuing to push deeper into lebanon with soldiers entering each day. hezbollah continuing its attacks into northern israel firing hundreds of rockets over the border this weekend. with the northern front remaining active, the u.s. special envoy did is in beirut today for meetings about a path forward to end the war.

israel gave the u.s. a new document last week with demands for a cease-fire. among the demands, israel wants to maintain an ability to conduct raids into lebanon in what is being referred to as active enforcement of an agreement. in israel's southern is active a well with evacuations of palestinian civilians taking place in the north of gaza and active ground fighting between israel and hamas ongoing. this weekend three israeli soldiers were killed in gaza including an israeli colonel who served as the commander of the 401st brigade. he is the highest-ranking israeli officer killed since the invasion of gaza began paired with all eyes on the southern and northern france, the big question today is how the israelis plan to respond to iran following that ballistic missile attack earlier this month. >> john: trey yingst for us with the latest. thank you. >> sandra: for more on this and the troubling new reports that the u.s. is investigating a leak of classified documents detailing israel's detailed attack on iran, let's bring in

brent sadler. a former pentagon official. great to have you for today. we have brand-new audio peer john kirby was speaking live a short time ago in the noon hour, last hour on this into leak. here's what he said. >> we aren't exactly sure how these documents found their way into the public domain. i know the department of defense is investigating this and we are deeply concerned and the president remains deeply concerned about any leakage of classified information into the public domain. we do not have any indication at this point that there is an expectation that there will be additional documents like this finding their way into the public domain. >> sandra: obviously there's a lot at stake here. first your reaction to that and just how deep the leak may run. >> the first thing is this probably is not the first and it won't be the last of this type of leak that occurs. there is millions of these

documents and lots of information that gets processed in this particular trance of information wasn't shared among five allies. with our canadian, australian, british, new zealand partners. this brings a question of those partners. can they trust us with information that they share with us. for me, the thing i am watching is the trust factor. it will take some time before they actually figure out who and where these documents got leaked from but i am confident they will find that out because of the digital trail that will follow. >> sandra: this is the white house headline on this. u.s. -- i'm sorry, wall street journal. not white house statement paired we are waiting on reaction from the white house per this is "the wall street journal" headline. the leaked reports were prepared last week by the national geospatial intelligence agency which analyzes imagery gathered by american reconnaissance satellites and other intel. it's aircraft, ammunitions, israeli military expected to use in an attack which the documents

say could come without additional warning. this was dan hoffman reacting earlier on an investigation and the consequences of something like this. >> i can tell you from the operations in which i was effect on our espionage operations overseas where our resources wonder if we can keep our secrets. >> sandra: outlining the huge consequences of this. >> absolutely. the nature of this, the information, geospatial. this is something that we are gleaning outside of what the israelis are doing. this is not information that the israelis trust or share with us which is indicative of a bad relationship with the current white house. the other part is the geospatial

and other agencies, the nature of this is satellite and signals intelligence. it also shows our adversaries what we are able to do not only against our partners and friends like the israelis but also against them and of course showing the type of aircraft, the type of weapons the israelis are readying and where they will operate from, that is extremely dangerous operationally for the israelis for that information to be out there. now they will have to change their approach and start over. >> sandra: the comment about the current relationship with the current white house is really key. we did hear from the speaker of the house mike johnson who said in an interview earlier that he has been informed about this u.s. government investigation and he says it is currently underway. this was another lawmaker joni ernst this morning on mornings with maria about the leak investigation. listen. >> we need to make sure that the information sharing ties between israel and the united states remain tight and secure. so no doubt we need to find out where these links are stemming

from but we do need to be able to share information with our closest friend and ally, the only democratic nation in the middle east, israel. >> sandra: a great point and why this is such great concern paired final thought. >> this erosion of trust is not just u.s. and israel, it's with our other allies. the five eyes already mentioned but it could be others that we rely on like the japanese that might start looking a little askance at our assured information security. >> sandra: thank you very much for joining. we will see where this goes next and we are anticipating an update shortly. this is sure to come up at the press briefing. our own a rich edson is in that room for us right now. we will bring all the highlights from this as they happen. >> john: school choice on the ballot. how challenging public schools dominant could factor into the 2024 election. plus, this.

>> they get 14 days to affirm they are a citizen and if they don't, they can same-day register and cast a provisional ballot. this is constitutionally correct, it is consistent with everything that virginia stands for and on top of that it is common sense. >> sandra: virginia governor glenn youngkin defending his state from allegations of illegally removing noncitizens from the voter rolls. is the doj playing politics ahead of the upcoming election? leo terrel is here with his thoughts. he will join us live coming up. ♪ ♪

>> john: a ballot battle heating up in the commonwealth of virginia with governor glenn youngkin hitting bat at a doj lawsuit claiming that the commonwealth's illegally removing noncitizens from voter rolls. he says he is following an election law that democrats most recently use that any interference from the federal government. let's bring in leo trial fox news contributor and civil rights attorney. the doj claims he is violating the 90 day quiet. back. where you can't remove people from the voting rules. here's what he said. >> to be clear this is not a purge. this is based on a law that was signed into effect in 2006 by then democrat governor ten came. it's been applied universally by republican and democratic governors and now all of a sudden when virginia is getting tight, it launches a lawsuit against the commonwealth of virginia when we are trying to make sure that citizens vote,

not noncitizens. >> john: is what he is doing legal or not? >> first of all the department of justice, this department of justice is the most political department of justice ever appeared to answer your question, yes. here's why. the federal law says you cannot systemically remove people in general awe for the voter role within 90 days. glenn youngkin is not doing that. he is individualizing individuals who have identified themselves as noncitizens and somehow they get on the voters role. what does glenn youngkin do? he sent them a letter and says how low potential voter could you have 14 days to prove your citizenship. that is all he is doing. and moreover if they can touch that, they can still follow a provisional ballot. trump and everyone knows that this department of justice is not fair. it is not impartial. lady justice is looking through that blindfold. this is ridiculous appeared glenn youngkin is correct, john.

>> john: he says that governor ralph northam as well as tim kaine both use this law in the same way he is. we could not find any specific evidence of that. though we are still looking. one thing we do know is that there was a mistake last year when virginia was going through the voter rules and about 3400 people who had prior felonies whose voting rights were reinstated were removed from the rolls. you don't get it right all the time and maybe people are looking at that and saying they made a mistake once, maybe they will do it again this year. >> let me respond to this in a very calm manner. first of all, the protection for every potential voter is they can file a provisional ballot. and that is the safeguard to protect a citizen's right to vote. but again, all line young can is doing is making sure that the voter rolls do not have noncitizens.

and they are giving them a letter appeared that is called due process appeared come on in, prove you are a citizen. if you disagree, you can still file a ballot and we can resolve the matter later on. no one is being deprived of the right. this is because virginia is a battleground state. it is close in the polls and the doj is playing politics. >> john: another round of legal or illegal with elon musk's new lottery where he is giving out a lot of money to folks. wasn't what he said. >> so i have a surprise for you. which is that we are going to be awarding $1 million randomly to people who have signed the petition every day from now until the election. >> john: his super pac is running a petition on the first and second amendment paired he said you need to be a registered voter to play and giving away $1 million every day but there

are some people saying wait a second tier, you are buying voter registrations because in order to play you need to be registered so people go and register en masse and they will be trump voters. is this buying votes or is it not? >> no but you saw josh shapiro on the air wise all weekend saying there needs to be an investigation. no why? because kamala and the democrats are losing pennsylvania. he is not inducing anyone to register to vote. he is not trying to get someone to vote for trump. he's basically saying sign our petition appeared what does the petition say? i support the first and second amendment. you are not buying anything. the reason why they are upset with elon musk is because he is supporting trump and he is in supporting kamala harris. there is a big millionaire whose name was zuckerberg. we will see how much money he donated to the democrats in 2020

but let's not mention that. the democrats, josh shapiro are upset with elon musk because he is a trump supporter. that is why it's happening. if you look at what is happening with elon musk and you look at what's happening in virginia, the democrats are running sc scared. >> john: we will see if the doj comes after elon musk or not. deep pockets. he could afford some attorneys. leo terrel for us. thank you. >> sandra: school choice front and center in the upcoming election with growing support for challenging public schools dominance on our children's education. william la jeunesse is live in l.a. for us. how has polling change on this issue? >> polling shows 71% of parents now support school choice. up seven points from the last election. it's on the ballot in three states and now 14% of catholic school students use choice programs to help pay their tuition. for many parents this is not a sleeper issue, it's a difference maker because they would rely on

these public launchers savings accounts or tax credits to help pay for private school religious or not. 1 million are now enrolled in these choice programs. trump supports it, harris does not. >> we want school choice. but we have to get out of this washington thing. half of the buildings in washington are occupied by education. >> harris disagrees saying we oppose the use of private school vouchers, tuition tax credits, opportunity scholarships, and other schemes that divert taxpayer-funded resources away from public education. >> one of the greatest expressions of love that a society can make towards its children is to invest in their education and by extension their teachers. >> why does it matter? 29 states offer programs ranging from vouchers and credits to the educational savings accounts which are not really popular.

they love parents to drive down cash on an monthly basis to pay for all or part of the private education geared 13 states offer esa's and some are mean assisted and others are not. choice groups are giving harris a f afraid that she will block funding or impose restrictions. where is the national teachers association or union gives her a letter a as she promises to pay raises for them m protect traditional public schools. >> sandra: william la jeunesse on all of that for us. thank you william. >> she has not proven to me yet that she can uphold this country. >> you can't go to the grocery stores right now. without making a decision. >> john: vice president ayres losing the voters that helped put barack obama and biden in

when you're in the military you're really close with your brothers and your sisters that are in the military with you. and when you get out of the military, you kind of lose that until you find a new family. we can talk about our struggles and the things that

we did overseas and not everybody can do that. adam! how's it going, brother? we live pretty close to each other. so he's always coming over. when i go to jack's house, we watch a lot of football, hang out. we go outside the friendship has kind of grown into a family i was overseas on a deployment. i got separated from my marines and i got hit in the neck, and it broke my neck and paralyzed me. 14 years ago, i was on a training mission. did a military freefall, and i had some faulty equipment. i hit the ground. going, 30 to 40 knots and was instantly paralyzed. i met jack fanning when he invited us to park city, utah, through his foundation. i was able to actually get on the mountain and ski with my family, i can't put into words what that meant. i got paid in the military to do crazy fun stuff.

and after my accident, i'm still that same guy. and when i was able to jump out of a perfectly good, helicopter, at 10,000 feet, i did it. i was talking to some vets last week amazing how we have these houses where they can come over because they■re in chairs too. carpet and wheelchairs don't mix very well. tunnel to towers, they got rid of all that. they redid my whole bathroom. that's probably the favorite part of my house. i thought they were just going to do the upgrades. but the surprise to me was they paid off the entire mortgage. when they told me they're going to pay off my mortgage, i cried. please contribute $11 a month by visiting t2t.org now our story begins more than 65 years ago, inside an abandoned chicken coop. where our founder discovered a retired teacher living. no home. no health care. so she said no to this injustice and yes to transforming lives.

of putting lives back together again. chris and angela king are two of those people joining us now. thanks to each of you for joining us and we understand how incredibly difficult of a road this has been peered how are you doing? >> it's a very emotional journey to say the least. we have had the wealth of love and support from our community that is like no other. the amount of love that we have felt is very uplifting and encouraging so i have said we have full hearts and our heads are up high. but it's daunting. we are doing this moment by moment. the speech of your optimism and your positivity is admirable and angela, you've been so much. i believe we are looking around you at what remains of your h home.

it's complete devastation it appears. how are you doing? >> it truly is a moment moment late christopher said. believe it or not, where we are sitting, the day we walked up from the storm, all of our dining room furniture, this used to be a wall. unbelievable progress. people out here every single d day, it truly is uplifting. i keep telling people to describe the emotion when we walked up the driveway. we did not expect our home to be so devastated. truly catastrophic damage. i think we are still in shock. without a doubt. but getting through it day by day and our community has been just unparalleled. >> sandra: it warms our hearts to hear that, obviously. chris, what are you able to do for living arrangements right now with so many who are in a similar position?

>> that has been a challenge. we have yet to hear back on housing allowance from fema. we actually a few days after the storm hit had to make a mortgage payment on our home. some folks have been very gracious and allowed us to move in temporarily into some homes here. we want to be very careful to protect the sanctity of family and the hearts of our girls so we are in the same place was there is amazing and we will move to another temporary home on thursday of this week. then i think we have one more place lined up after that that as of right now it is like couch surfing from college it except we are doing it with our children and all of our

household belongings. >> and the dog. >> and the dog. >> sandra: and the dog. you have seven kids plus one, a bonus kid that adopted you all as you told our producers. you have a lot of people depending on you. that's a lot of pressure and it sounds like you guys are keeping your heads up. people have been donating things to you. obviously you heard a lot of the politics of the moment, who is helping who and who is getting the help that they need. what has that been like for you other than the things that have been donated for you, the outreach from the local state federal level. have you been able to get help? >> we have had our fema inspection. however we are still waiting to hear anything back. so we are kind of on hold with that right now. we are hoping to hear back something relatively soon. >> everything has been

grassroots. it's our friends that were here, our neighbors to be. when we didn't know the first step to take, they were here putting rocks and ditches to get our cars out in everyday people have shown up. christopher is on national ski patrol and they had a workday. we've had folks from churches, a guy yesterday was from ohio and we don't know how he found us. people just show up walking down our driveway here to help. it's been grassroots in the community more than any organizations. i'm not sure if we mentioned this but our homeowners insurance has denied us twice so we are not getting any help. we do firmly believe that they will do the right thing by us ultimately but that is taking some time as well as fema is taking time. >> sandra: it sounds like you have incredible challenges but are you guys keeping it together. it's impressive. angela and chris, you can tell you the strength between the two of you will get you through this.

[laughter]

>> john: jury selection is underway in the trial of daniel daniel penny, the marina accused of manslaughter in the death of a homeless man who was threatening passengers on the new york city subway. any early indications on whether penny will take the stand himself? >> not yet. but moments ago here outside the courthouse, his defense lawyers said the client would make a great witness. so that is their take on it and

we will see how the defense responds once prosecutors lay out their case. daniel penny faces up to 19 years in prison if convicted on the charges. so far he has pleaded not guilty to second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. charges stemming from his fatal choke hold in may of last year. according to court filings witnesses said he began shouting and acting erratically when he got on the train. prosecutors say some recall him making threats, other do not. penny's attorneys said it penny did not intend to hurt or kill neely but was trying to protect others and hold him down long enough for police to arrive. prosecutors in this case only have to prove that penny acted reckless and was negligent. the defense team appears confident with jury selection now underway. >> the maneuver which he used in this case is a nonlethal or maneuver meant to restrain someone who is threatening to do harm to others. it's undisputed in this case.

there is no factual dispute that is what mr. neely was doing, that's what he was threatening and the evidence is overwhelmingly likely that that's what he would have carried out had a mr. penny come to the aid of his fellow passengers. >> protesters were outside the courthouse this morning chanting justice for jordan neely. he performed as a michael jackson impersonator and had documented mental health struggles. he had 42 prior arrests including a history of attacks on subway riders. police said he had no weapon while on the train. the family attorney has pointed that out saying he never laid hands on anyone and adding this outside of the courthouse. >> the facts of the cases that speared someone got on the train and was screaming and someone choked that person to death. those things will never balance out. >> the trial could last up to

six weeks. >> sandra: cb cotton for us. thank you. speak to the white house set to brief. there's that speared what will karine jean-pierre have to say about the reported leak of classified until that may have compromised israel. we will be listening for that. we will be right back. because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan, for up to 100 percent of your home's value. if you need cash for your family call newdayusa. with automatic authority from the va we can say yes when banks say no. give us a call. veteran homeowners need cash but worried you can't get a home loan because of your credit? here's great news. at newday we've been granted automatic authority by the va
