i'm jake tapper and we begin today with multiple breaking stories. all of which will have wide-ranging impacts on the 2024 election and moments from now and florida, former president donald trump will welcome the house speaker mike johnson. to his mar-a-lago resort. the two men are holding a press conference in which they will discuss. they say election security, though we should note the last time the two teamed up on this issue they worked to try to undermine the 2020 election. so skepticism may be warranted. we are told the two republican leaders are expected to highlight the issue of non in citizens voting in federal elections. and if you're thinking, doesn't federal law already van, non-citizens from voting in federal elections, you would be correct. it is true but some municipalities allow non-citizens to vote in some local elections, like the mayor of tacoma park, maryland. but that said the republican party is seizing on this issue to try to make a larger political issue for the run-up to november. we shall see how allegiant to the facts of t

jake is extremely influential. so shifting to what i would consider the the administration's major crisis in office, which was the afghanistan withdrawal, you know, you write that biden's was pretty much made up to withdraw from afghanistan back in 2009 when he returned from there on a trip as v.p. but even though his mind was pretty much made up, he still wanted to go through this very fulsome interagency process to determine whether it was the right move to actually withdraw. so i'm just wondering, like, what you're reporting is about how even despite this very fulsome interagency process about withdrawing, about what it would mean, how did they get it? so wrong in terms of their assessment that they had so much more time figure this out, because you write that they were thinking that it was going to be 18 to 24 months before the was ultimately able to take over the entire country and particularly kabul. so so what did your reporting tell you about how this how this mess happened? yeah, well, first it was very cl

he didn't actually answer that question, jake. >> yeah. i mean, i think that gets into a question about whether or not he actually personally cares about this issue or if he's just doing so because republicans do and that's a way to get elected. i remember in 2016, new york times column this morning doubt asked donald trump if he had ever paid for an abortion. and he said such an interesting question, what's your next question? we should note that he did this big press conference talking about elections and such with this trial coming on monday, his legal team had tried to delay it with any number of motions, every one of them was rejected it looks as though jury selection is going to begin on monday in the first haim in the history of the united states of america that a president a former president, faces a criminal trial. you say he's, he's made his peace with it, but one might suggest that this press conference, this event today was, is rooted in that yeah. >> well that's what monday is going to look like, jake, i mean, this is him maki

jake paul joins prime time. plus... >>> i don't talk to fox news.

>> hello jake, for weeks.ths these two sides have been building towards a potential deal that is centered on two things. a six-week temporary ceasefire as well as the release of some 40 israeli hostages which is and now we're learning according to two sources. my colleague alex marquardt and i that hamas is basically saying that they either can't or they don't have 40 hostages who would meet the definitions of those categories, women elderly, men, and those who are wounded or sick this obviously raises two questions. first of all, do they not have them in their custody or secondly, do they perhaps not have enough who are alive? and there are certainly strong indications that that may very well be the case we know of course, that the israeli government has confirmed that some 30 plus hostages held in captivity have been confirmed as dead, but they have particularly high bar jake for actually confirming that those hostages are dead. and so it's very likely that more are dead. so the question is, where do we go f

i'm jake tapper. we begin with our breaking news jury selection in former president donald trump's criminal trial in new york city is underway, but moments ago more than half of this first batch of prospective jurors were sent home packing. why? well, they said they could not be filled here or impartial. and just about 30 minutes, donald trump's first day in this trial will come to an end. but before jury selection even began, prosecutors were already asking judge juan merchan to find donald trump. they were accusing him of violating his gag order with three social media posts he made about the case, including one at 9:12 eastern in this morning, possibly while actually inside court trump in one post referred to two key witnesses as sleaze bags. those were his former attorney, michael cohen, and his former alleged paramour, adult film star and directors stormy daniels. remember, donald trump is being charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover for up the alleged role in a hush money

. >> the lead with jake tapper starts right now >> and welcome to the lean. >> i'm doing jake tapper and we start today with our out of this world lead and the once in a generation phenomenon across the united states right now, parts of the northeastern united states are still experiencing the solar eclipse, which passed across the us, plunging parts of 15 states into darkness. mexico's pacific coast was the first to experience what's called the totality. that's when the moon fully blocks out the sun. huge crowds gathered along the path of the totality in cities from mazatlan, mexico to one of the largest watch parties in the united states at the indianapolis motor speedway all the way to niagara falls, new york and all that travel is expected to provide a 6 impact on the economy according to some analysts, if you miss today's eclipse, you might not need those special sunglasses again until august 2045. that's when nasa says the us will experience. it's next total solar eclipse. but we're going to bring the highlights from coast-to-coast. let's go straight out to derrick van dam, liv

>> good morning, jake? >> no, i was just >> listening to apro kirby reporting that i have not seen that report at this stage. i was trying to get it as i was coming on i've asked to try and perhaps update during it. i know that she was still fighting for her life think seven year-old amina a few an hour ago, so, but i can confirm that at this time, israeli defense minister you'll have golan said, quote, the campaign is not over yet. so what we'll israel's response to this attack look like is the idf preparing to strike within iranian territory >> so before we go into that, i would like to weigh on what admiral kirby was talking about. i think the unprecedented coalition, the international coalition, which was basically a roundtable of decent people coming together against the diabolical intentions of iran it proved itself. it proved itself that together we can work to save lives. and that is exactly what we did when they fired some 300 rockets, missiles, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and explosive dr

look what jake come from and look at what jake is today. these stories are absolutely marvelous.nue to show us that god has to exist. come from a plumber. look where he is today. these are -- this is why boxing movies always at the box office. they are stories of hope. >> carley: hope and incredible success. so, roy, mike tyson was on with hannity last night. he mentioned his fight with you. he also said something pretty surprising about being afraid. take a listen to this. >> whatever i'm afraid to do, i do it. that's how it is. i was afraid for the roy to fight. i was 100 pounds overweight. i was 54 or 53. i said let's do it. anything i'm afraid of, i confront it. and that's my personality. like right now, i'm scared to death but as the fight gets closer, the less nervous i become because it's reality and the reality i'm invincible. >> carley: what do you think about that? he said he was afraid to fight you. he was afraid to fight jake paul. i don't think many people tie mike tyson's name to the feeling of fear. >> well, here's the thing. it's not that he is afraid. that's not

welcome to the lean on jake tapper. we start this hour with breaking news and what we just heard from her house speaker mike johnson live right here on the lead just minutes ago, he is

why is that important, jake? because that is an issue that the trump team will inevitably bring up on appeal. they will say, this is why we wanted to move the venue over half. the people said they couldn't even be impartial. so that's something we're watching very closely. there are other reasons that people can be struck four, for cause or be removed before they move on to the jury questionnaire. and then this process where they will have additional strikes to select these alternates. let's see how far in the alternate selection they get. in the next few minutes do we know anything about these jurors that have been seated? >> seven of them, and obviously, we want to make sure that as we report the information, we know we don't want it to be two identifying because some other media outlets reporting too much information about one of the german resulted in the fact that the that juror could not be seated. >> good day. going to say two things. first of all, we already have an alternate who has been seated in the pa

i know people have told you this jake, and it's all good.ing totality is another thing. when it goes completely dark, it is a different thing and i saw a couple of things today which i'd never experienced before, a way off in this the east, you can see sunlight at first and then it went dark. and then the other thing that happened, like there's a breeze, right now here in texas. but during the during totality, the briefs there were some effect with cold and warm air that the breeze was held up, was cool, it was spectacular. all right. well, science, you may, spain 2026, a case of that fredericksburg, texas wine it's a date >> all right. >> i'll see you there. >> thanks so much. if you ever mis or coverage continues now, onepiso you can listen to the show once you get your podcasts or coverage con

>> hi jake. i think if you ask these rallies on friday after the cabinet, the war cabinet meeting on friday, the plan was to execute and conduct and the mediant response to any rainy but then the iranian attack took place and war cabinet convened and no response yet. so at least it seems that these decided to take a breather and think for a while before they make any decisions and i think just shortly, short while ago member of the war cabinet, benny gantz, they should statement where he said that israel will respond in the time and place would be choosing which is sort of a code name for we're not gonna do anything immediately. >> israel's national security minister jonathan says that israel should go crazy in response. do you think that's on yahoo will listen to the national security minister? >> hi jake. no, i think that the what influences most the speed of a response is the amount of casualties. and since the attack, the iranian unprecedented attack against israel phil pretty flat on its nos

that is really officials simply are not going to go for jake. >> all right. jeremy diamond and israel for us. thanks so much joining us now to discuss former us defense secretary under president obama and former cia chief leon secretary thanks so much for joining us, your fellow former cia director retired general david petraeus told me yesterday that israel is going to have to take some action and respond to iran. but he added as a whole menu from which to choose what would you advise the israeli government to do right now to respond? on to the iranian attack, if anything >> well, jake, look, there's there's no question this was historic and unprecedented attack. but 300 drones and cruise missiles and icbms is an unprecedented attack but it's also an historic failure the reality is 99% of those weapons fail and israel i think came out of winter after that attack so my approach would be according to the old saying that revenge is a dish that's best served cold. and while i understand the need to re-establish determinants i really think that israel has to thin

jake has now just left the courthouse. remember, courts can resume on thursday, so we'll see him back here then, but some progress made right for seeding. the jury in this criminal trial. seven jurors now sworn in this seventh one just came since i last saw you were learning a little bit about this person to civil litter litigator that lives on the upper east side and manhattan and married with two kids. it says that he doesn't really know trump at all, doesn't really have an opinion about him so certainly now, again, like i said, progress made as this now seven jurors seated for this historic criminal trial brown jake seven jurors. >> all right. yeah. breakneck speed it's bridging, grabs a manhattan. thanks so much, democratic senator tim kaine and the great commonwealth of virginia is here senator, i do have to ask as we watch this breaking news, this historic moment seven jurors have now been seated in the first-ever criminal trial of a former president. what's your take on all of it? >> well, it's sad that it's come to

i'm jake tapper. this hour we're going to bring you brand new audio from moments before that horrific bridge collapse and that bolton more port radio transmissions revealing confusion as that massive cargo ship hit the bridge and crews scramble to try to stop traffic across the bridge. plus a texas national guard member, is under arrest, accused of trying to smuggle migrants near the border. the police video, but high-speed chase that led to the arrest and leading this, our president biden trying to lay down the law today with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. biden making new demands, warning of consequences if israeli forces do not take concrete steps to try to protect civilian lives in gaza the 30-minute call was the first conversation between the leaders since israel strike monday in gaza. so that killed seven aid workers from the world central kitchen. the non-profit started by celebrity chef jose on dress the killings, touching off a new level of frustration from the president with the

i'm jake tapper. you're looking at new video today from the israel defense forces showing israeli fighter jets downing is iranian projectile is targeting israel specifically missiles and attack drones joining us now, the former director of national intelligence under president obama retired general james clapper so first of all, just the size and scope of this. we've never seen anything quite like this in terms of iran directly launching attack on israel. so it does seem to mark a change and inflection point of some sort. yes. >> oh, no question. which take that uh, reuben khan was been crossed her with the rahm directly attacking from iranian iran proper to israel proper >> that's >> though the size of the attack, i think was very measured it did not. i think the iranians had to know that it would not overwhelm the coalition air defense system >> and then >> at the end of it, they declared it was done without having accomplished much in the way of damage. so i think there was a messaging here but i s

>> well, jake, by all published accounts, this was a massive attack, 300 missiles and drones. and arab partners, like with jordan and the saudis, and provided some particular some analytical and active support. but i'm not basing that on anything other than the, accounts that i saw last night, we haven't yet been briefed in the senate. and i do think one of the things that israel now has the time to do is to consult with its partners and allies like the united states, the british, the french, the jordanians, the saudis the emirati assess what their next steps are, both in terms of they're preparedness and their supply and the reliability of the support that's been shown by the united states and others in the region >> you mentioned israel's war against hamas in gaza. the latest information from the middle east and efforts to get a ceasefire and the hostages home is that hamas has rejected the most recent proposal. what's your response how does, how can the united states get this process to a better place >> even more forceful pressure on qatar and egypt who've been good interl

. >> i'm jake tapper. we're going to start today with our law and justice lead quotes. i will not have any jurors intimidated in the courtroom, unquote that stern warning this afternoon coming from judge juan merchan talking about donald trump's behavior during de to of his hush money cover up trial in new york city. the judge's is management came during the meticulous jury selection process. today is lawyers from both the prosecution and the defense consider one by one each and every potential juror deciding who they want to kick off. >> that >> during part of that questioning, the judge says trump was gesturing and speaking in the direction of one potential juror. a clear violation of court rules as all of this plays out in the courtroom in new york, we have also just learned the first six jurors in the case have been seated let's get straight to cnn's kara scannell, who's live outside the courthouse in manhattan care >> this is the >> third trial you've covered with donald trump has the defendant, this behavior by trump is something we have seen before yeah, jake, we

now jake. >> thanks so much. appreciate 11 darien austin, cnn's omar jimenez is at columbia university, thousands of miles away in manhattan. demonstrators had been given by the college administration can a deadline of 2:00 p.m. eastern to clear out their tents and encampments omar, it appears that the majority of protesters ignored that deadline. so what's happening at columbia right now? >> yeah number of those protesters and students chose not to adhere to that 2:00 p.m. deadline to clear the encampment or face suspension. you can see the you can't get behind me. there's a good number of students in there right now and actually, you can see a good number of them seem to be sitting in a circle at the moment as right now as they do at times, either sharing discussions or things like that. but bottom line there are still folks inside the encampment that said we have not seen any direct action from the university just yet as far as even suspensions that had been announced or anything further than that. but to give

this was confirmed today by jake sullivan, in particular, he said that the decision was made by the president back in february, later they began to transfer these atakamsa in march and they got to ukraine in april of this month, and the pentagon also confirmed that ukraine literally last night used these atakams. come on let's listen to how vedan patel, the deputy, described decision-making state department spokesman. i can confirm that the us, at the direction of the president, has provided ukraine with long-range attacks. back in february, he quietly ordered his national security team to send atakams to ukraine for use on ukraine's sovereign territory. they began to be sent as part of the military aid package announced... in march, and these missiles arrived in ukraine this month. we did not report this at the beginning to ensure the operational security of ukraine at their request. maria, and since jack salevan opened up a little more details he said that this decision to transfer long -range atakams to ukraine was delayed for a long time because they were worried about the united states'

jake. all right. jeremy diamond. thank you so much. this sunday marks six months since pro-moscow invaded israel and began this horrific conflict. six months since those attacks killed more than 1,200 people in israel, most of them civilian, some of them children, six months since 250 hostages were taken captive into gaza by hamas, with more than 100 still there six months of a that rages on between the idf and hamas with tens of thousands of lives lost and no end in sight. cnn's bianna golodryga has been following for specific israeli hostage families. this one weekend, she's going to take a look at their fights to bring their loved ones home. here's a look at a piece of the conversation with the calderon family the, last message we've got, the jump from the window and hiding in the bush. and then we lost the connection >> she later learned they jumped because terrorists were tossing explosives into their home, but they stayed hidden watching the h4 for two hours. >> and then a younger man, like 19 years old, was let's jump on the win

jake. >> thanks, laura. thanks.to paula reid right now outside the courthouse, we have some information about what's going on right now in court regarding the judge and donald trump, paula jake we're getting these live updates from our colleagues inside the courtroom and it appears that the jury selection process is about >> to officially get underway. the judge is now reading to former president trump his rights now, trump says that he understands this is a pretty solid moment. this is the first time that a former president of the united states will face criminal trial. and there is if he's convicted, the possibility of jail time here. now, again, getting another update from our colleagues who are saying that prosecutors are now introduced using a motion to sanction trump for his social media posts. they argue that these social media posts were a violation of the gag order because they appear to refer to stormy daniels and michael cohen to likely key witnesses in this case, as quote, sleaze bags and trump is curren

an hour or so later he met up with jake.nt to walmart where this camera captured them at about 2:00 a.m. there was no sign of halee. were you thinking they think i might be involved? >> yeah. >> jake told police he had not seen halee that night, but isaiah told him where he had taken hurt. to a local park a few miles from the soccer field. >> he said he dropped her off and went his separate way because she wanted to meet somebody. >> that didn't sound right to jake. >> i didn't think he would let her be alone at that time of day. he was overprotective. >> there was something else that bothered him. jake told police that the isaiah he knew had been a stand- up guy. recently, he had heard stories about isaiah stealing from people. >> his roommate told me he owes his rent and stole my tv. i said what? >> he was on a downward spiral. he had been borrowing money too and halee had helped him out. >> she mentioned she loaned him $600 to pay his rent. >> that's a lot of money. apparently, not enough. >> me and halee had been hanging
