in his order tossing out the rule, judge robert mcburney writing this quote, this election season is fraught. memories of januaryave not faded away, regardless of one's view of that days fame or infamy, anything that adds uncertainty and disorder to the electoral process deserves the public. another rule which would have allowed local election officials to not certify the election was also set aside. georgia's secretary of state opposed the election board's new rules and welcomed the judge's ruling not enough monitors through what's it in a process has put around this. it's just it's a bad idea to ever change rules this close to an election, especially on something that can open up the chain of custody like that, which we think is really against the law all right panel is back again. >> this we are 20 days out and sometimes with you know, polling and horse races, it can be difficult to see the forest for the trees but the emerging forest is one where there are potential challenges across the map to the way that these votes are being counted. to the way that they are being certified. these electors are being sent

> robert: they're trying to reach out to those republicans who supported nikki haley in the 2024 republican primary. they believe putting an emphasis on character and conduct and talking about january have a major event next week in d.c. about that event, at the same site trump spoke in 2021. it's all about bringing it back to those issues and make sure the suburban vote maybe goes to her. >> norah: we will be busy in the coming weeks. robert costa, thank you so much. the los angeles district attorney today called for the early release of the menendez brothers, convicted in a sensational double murder case that captivated the nation in the 1990s. if the parole board and a judge both approve the request, the pair would be set free after serving more than three decades of a life sentence. cbs's jonathan vigliotti reports on the combination of factors that led up to it. >> reporter: tonight, a dramatic twist in a long-running legal drama. >> i came to a place where i believe that, under the law, resentencing is appropriate. >> reporter: as family members stood by in support, l.a.'s district attorney outlined his reasons for seeking the early release of lyle and erik menendez 35 years

january. jonathan: was that the last debate? robert: yeah, i think so.on't think either side would like to get back on the debate stage. it is weird that the final public national word is going to come from vice presidential candidates, but i think harris is happy with her first performance, and i think trump would rather be tweeting and on the truth account that all the stage. jonathan: thank you. in the fx market, dollar-yen higher at 144.56. comments from the japanese minister, not the environment to raise interest rates again. not in the environment now to raise interest rates again. bear in mind that when he came on board, we were talking about normalization process over the boj. lisa: we heard something similar talking about we need to take our time, we heard that earlier today per he said he would like to -- the prime minister would like to cornet with the bike -- bank of japan on the economy and would like to make it strong with an economic package, avoiding deflation and the spiral japan was in key on their minds, but it raises the question beca

robert in virginia. linda in ashburn, virginia. republican. good morning. caller: thank you for everything you do. the thing that concerns me the most is their underlying facts -- a book on january 6 is a good read. i think our leader trump is doing the best he can but at every turn there is a bullseye mark on him, whether it is going after money, going after his estate or anything he has in everything he has tried to do. people can claim he is acting like a dictator but a dictator blocks democracy. i have seen nothing but the blocking of democracy, whether it is freedom of speech, the kennedy situation with not allowing him on the ballots, the list goes on. the committees on the democrat side are trying to not allow current changeovers, so when there is a new president they want to maintain the current employees who will probably not be loyal to a newer presidency. i think the epoch times it a good documentary. it seems like it is republican leaning, but it is factual because it is capital surveillance footage. i am not sure if the report that came out by smith has something after the 1:00 mark, but if you watch the footage there is nothing going on. people are just ending ther

january 6th. >>> next up here on "way too early," the latest from overseas after an israeli air strike on a residential building in gaza kills dozens. >>> plus the supreme court rejects robert f. kennedy's bid to have his name removed from the ballot in some key swing states. those stories, more from the campaign trail, and a check on sports and weather when we come right back. and weather when we right back >>> welcome back, as we turn to some of the morning's other top headlines. local officials in gauze asay over 90 people were killed yesterday in a strike in the northern part of that territory. the deadliest shelling came hours after. in a statement from netanyahu's office israel stands ready to work with partners and facilitating aid in gaza, quote, in a manner that does not threaten israel's security. the biden administration warned israel earlier this month it may be forced to restrict military aid if the humanitarian situation in gaza doesn't improve within 30 days. meanwhile, the iran backed militant group hezbollah announced yesterday it has chosen a new deputy to succeed him as the group's new leader. >>> back here in the states the man who broke into nancy pelos

january insurrection. and john eastman and rudy giuliani to his who asked for pardons in connection with that that roger stone and paul manafort both were convicted in connection with the robert investigation into russian interference in the 2016 election. and donald publicly said you know, praise them for not flipping. and the judge i think it was in roger sentencing made a statement on the record that this looked like was buying silence. so so there you know, there are almost too many to mention it happened under the clinton administration as well. marc rich, a famous he was a financier and donor to various clinton causes. he was pardoned. there was a lot of pushback and critique in that instance congress opened an investigation. there was even an out of the southern district of new york criminal investigation that the rich pardon was a pay for play pardon that was basically a bribe, that there was money that didn't end in any in any kind charges. but i would argue that you know, this is across the board with the constitution. if there's no people will try to game the system. i mean i an example from everyday life if you're driving down the street and you see a speed limit

robert, a republican out of california. good morning. caller: good morning and thanks for taking my call. i just want to caution the democrats about forgetting history. in the januaryk in washington was not the first attack on the capital. the worst probably being november 7, 19 83, when susan rosenberg and linda evans placed a bomb outside the senate chamber to attack republican senators, the bomb caused $1 million worth of damage. and in his last day of office bill clinton, with the urging of jerry nadler, commuted the sentences of both of those women. who had been convicted of three bombings in washington, d.c.. in fact, rosenberg had been caught with over 700 pounds of explosives in a very large horde of weapons. so, the january 6 insurrection, whatever you want to call it, was not the first attack on the capital and it was not the only attack by people supporting a republican. so, we've got to learn from history or we really start looking like hypocrites. i just thought i would caution the democrats to remember history and quit making accusations that are not based in fact. so, thank you for taking my call. host: from the politico historical look from a few ye

january 6x and the like. and t going to stop. this. something else will have to stop trump's momentum because we see i wilve to stt at least i do, and i know robert does as well. and robert, i mean, when you look at atlas and trafalgar and insider advantage, that's both of your polls and rasmussen, the top pollsters in 2020. robert, let's get your take. ay >> let's douo a whip around seen the swing states. and what are you seeing? the well, i very much the same as mad. wemean, we're showing a separation. one of the things that trump ari and actually j.d. vance accomplished very well was they created the sense in the voters minds of this woman is tell me what she wants me to hear. and if shee believed all this, she'd already done it. and so i think that explains why we're seeing an increase i t in pennsylvania, which i think is separatinhinkg and moving trump's way strongly. i see the same thingger. in michigan. it's getting stronger and just a little bit less in wisconsin now than the other states. and i kind of defer to him. than otgeorgia is a little more of a challenge than other people think. t one ofbut one of the things ti don't think j.d.

robert, maryland, republican line. caller: yes, i would like to say that i'm really ecstatic about the guest you had on earlier. i think that was the most balanced approach, and his feedback, especially with the januaryident, i was there on january 6, and i may black -- i'm a black guy, and i wanted to qualify what trump said about that day and what happened. it was glorious day, it was a beautiful day. i was there with my entire block family, so i would like to set the record straight. when it was time to go to the capital, that is when things began to unfold and everything went south, but prior to that time, it was a glorious day, everybody was in one spirit and really beautiful, and i had never seen anything like it. so what trump is saying about that day, that is true. when we get to the capital, like i said, i don't know what was going on. people were storming the capital , a lot of things unfolded. we left because we had never been exposed, and i took 17 busloads of people from the state of maryland to this event. i'm the only black guy, meet, family, and the people who were around that i traveled with were not racist. they were good people. they were loving people. we had all things in common

robert. there's another person that i guarantee all of you know that was this other man, abraham lincoln, who anti-slavery, who sought to colonize as enslaved americans before the january 1st, 1863, when he became an abolitionist. and if you read, why did lincoln go from anti-slavery to abolition? well, to compassion. maybe read the last paragraph of emancipation proclamation. he authorized the enlistment of black men in the union army. he believed that if a man could fight, then he deserved be free. thank you for your remarks, sir. i'm going to buy your book as well. you know. do you have as an attorney, do you have any comment on the prohibition of attorneys in this? the original charter. well, i thought about it and i'll serious and it may be prohibition of attorneys rum and black people. i would just catholics on three of them. i'm out right. but it was an interesting ending on the tedious society where people suing each other, but they got the law use right next door in south carolina. they never hesitated when they needed a legal opinion because there was this debate about allowing free blacks to come to georgia. it came up twice and they saw a legal opinion from
