impact the shipping of everything from fruit to liquor, furniture, and vehicles have you remember lesley stahl, we got into a little bit of an argument on the camera talking about that and other things. and, you know, they really owed me an apology. i like to get an apology, so i've asked them for an apology. let's see they do it so because of a moment four years ago, donald trump is refusing to do a scheduled 60 minutes interview. >> he says he needs an apology for this moment. you see him standing up there. and for cbs is reporting on hunter biden's laptop. this might have been one of the last opportunities for a wide swath of voters to see donald trump in a primetime slot before election day. right, coming up here on cnn this morning, waiting for the response, israel vowing iran will pay for tuesday's deadly missile attack plus the above abortion battle playing out on the vice presidential debate stage, how jd vance urged his party to address one of the democrats strongest issues party, we've got to do so much better of a job at earning the american people's trust back on this issue? everyt
