i've been saying that for years about the extremism that has come from ron desantis. it started as consolidation of power underneath him stripping rights from the cabinet to the legislature to the judicial and enacting all of those policies you just went through. so florida has been the lab rat of the heritage foundation to such a point that in project 25 which is trump's project 2025, even references ron desantis throughout the 900 pages including mentioning all of those policies that you are alluding to but it's also why we are in a moment in the state of florida and you are seeing the irruption of energy and momentum and excitement for harris, because ron desantis and these extreme policies that are now all throughout project 2025, they have been, you know, we have been suppressed so much and he's been standing on our next and our backs and that's why you are seeing all of this energy. people are tired of the chaos, rhonda try taking these policies across the country for his presidential run and americans rejected that just like they are doing with project 2025 and

i mean to any person with less charisma than ron desantis, it's j.d.se we saw the j.d. vance video where he goes to get a dona and it reminds me of ron desantis when he was talking to the kid about slurpees. and you're just kind of looking at both those videos and how are you two people in politics? you can even have a normal conversation with folks. and that's part of your job. let me ask you what this means naturally?. florida is widely perceived certainly from the results that it's been consistently a red state for the last few years, but if these desantis backed candidates can lose in an embarrassing fashion like this, do you think we will see a similar rebuke nationwide in texas? what does this mean for other races in florida, come november? >> i do think who is running for the -- democratic against rick scott has a chance. it's tough, though, amen. florida has become a petri dish for maga, as of late. we seen thousands of hard-core reporters coming to the state of florida in part because ron desantis has rated it the free state of war, nevermind

ron desantis is a political bedfellow with moms for liberty. this is what happened in the latest races. desantis endorsed 23 candidates and 11 lost, and six are headed to runoffs in november so it's not just the donald trump association and that guilt by association that seems to be doing damage. the ron desantis failed presidential candidate, failed governor of florida also his endorsement seems to be the kiss of death if you're running for public office here in florida. why is it then that you think there has been this galvanized response that the culture wars that have been waged here talk about ground zero in the state of florida, why that is not happening anymore and why this could be -- florida could be the state that shows that culture wars don't work no matter where you are in the united states? >> i think it's important to recognize that as we are hearing about project 2025 here in florida it feels like we've chosen to listen to the audiobook version on doubletime because we are living it. florida republicans are doing everything in the

i think that is why that ron desantis had a bad day tuesday.lorida after he did so poorly in his run for president but he came back to florida week and humiliated by the leader of the party, donald trump and republican legislators are turning against him. he has a plan to build and develop in state parks and wants to put pickleball courts and golf courses in state parks and for the first time legislators are pushing back on his side of the aisle. usually they just roll over but they found their spine and part of it is that he has lost his mojo after his presidential run. >> he didn't have the discipline to wait out trump for another two years or throw his hat in the ring and he did and he lost his credibility and obviously with it is integrity the way trump went after him. it is interesting. as we have reported that while this war on woke was good for ron desantis politically speaking, it hasn't translated for him in court and when it comes to his stop woke act now renamed the individual freedom act, you said a judge that by limiting free speec

that the rest of x was working and last year's glitchy stream conversation with florida governor ron desantis, which trump called, quote: a disaster at the time. 1.3 million people were simultaneously watching the trump-musk conversation at one point as trump criticized several harris policies including her recent messaging on the border crisis. >> she is saying she was strong on the border. we're going to be strong. well, she doesn't have to say it, she could close it up right now. >> harris campaign firing back, quote: trump's entire campaign is in service of people like elon musk and himself. self-obsessed rich guys who will selling out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024. and, bret, musk claims that that live conversation has reached a billion, with a b, views on the x platform. musk, who endorsed trump says he has historically been a moderate democrat, but he is encouraging other moderates this time to vote for trump. musk says heist and president biden are too far left. he invited harris to have a live

erickson: governor ron desantis, thank you. thank you so much. [applause] mr. erickson: ladies and gentlemen, thanks again for governor desantis for coming up, particularly in light of having the hurricane situation down in florida and being able to get up here. appreciate that a ton. i have got to tell you, my next guest is someone i always hate to bother because he is so busy. bless you. he winds up oftentimes reaching out to me because i don't like to bother people. when i got started in politics and started writing at red state , i got a copy of the conservative mind in the mail with a note, if you are going to be a voice for conservative, be sure what you believe. and it was from my next guest, who i had never met. i went up to d.c. and spent time with him. at the time he was running the republican study committee, which at the time was the conservative voice in congress. and then he became a governor and then he became vice president of the united states. and through it all, he has always been guided by his faith and by a real commitment to truth. and not

but i was looking at what trump said when this happened to ron desantis. he said, wow, the distinct as twitter launch is a disaster. his whole campaign will be a disaster i mean, can you hear the laughs from the governor's mansion in florida? and tonight, i don't remember any of that. >> caitlin you don't look i mean, obviously, i'm sure everybody involved would wished it went better tonight, but i think this is a symptom of a larger issue right now, which is for the first time in his adult political career, donald trump's struggling to get earned media attention. and we have not seen that there have been days, but since 2015, they've been days and hours, not weeks on end and so i think that's what you're seeing him reach out doing press conferences, going to journalist panels, and now doing events like this because he is looking for ways to reach people. and frankly have us here tonight talking, even if it's a bad twitter event or delayed one it's better than the night of kamala harris is on the rise in succeeding that's what he has to do. >> and her camp

david polansky worked on five republican prison has it been told campaigns, including ron desantis is times national political reporter, astead herndon and veteran media reporter brian stelter, the author of network of lies. >> brian, i mean it's kind of a big moment, not just for donald trump, but also for elon musk twitter, as i still call it. this is why i love good old-fashioned television. it just works hard. actually worse. actually does show that it's streaming can struggle actually, when someone like musk fired most of the technical staffers at the company formerly known as twitter. he kind of had this coming. musk says he had been testing the servers ahead of time, trying to make sure this would work we'll find out later what actually went wrong here. but it is embarrassing for trump because every day he's been attempting a reset lately to try to take on harris? >> yeah. i mean, this is truly what he made front of ron desantis for which as you would know, well, i mean, it's kind of perfectly diamond that we're here. >> but i was looking at what trump said when this happened t

governor ron desantis says as many as 17,000 linemen will be available for power restoration efforts. >> with more on what to expect from hurricane debbie, here's accuweather's jeff cornish. >> good morning, andrew and rhiannon. we're tracking hurricane debbie into the north side of florida. we're very concerned about a variety of impacts. the storm surge will be a big deal. the flooding rain will be the number one impact that we're most concerned about, but also strong winds. and this is going to creep up the coast all week long just east of the point of landfall, there will be gusts of wind 80 to 100mph. but we'll also see squalls off and on all week near the carolina coast, between 60 and potentially up to 80mph. along with that, some very, very heavy rain. that is going to be a tremendously dangerous storm. and areas around charleston and savannah just barely inland from those spots. we're forecasting 18 to 24in of rain. so major flooding along with the storm surge as well. andrew and rhiannon, back to you all right. >> now to vice president kamala harris is set to officially acce

here with reaction, florida governor ron desantis. i know you probably have had little or no sleep the las r t week or so because of hurricane debby. how are thingst becaus on the g >> we're doing well. shawna was a category one as florida standards go. that's that's about as minimal as we get. i it did leave a lot of water. so we are monitoring flooding situation. we're going to continue to providetoring the floodd we.s that's just what we do. we're wired for this and everyone's doing a really good job. but i'll tell you, seeing that news this morning, i wa thr the emergency operations center in tallahasseegeions cen. and i think to myself, you have a vapid san francisco democratmr leading the ticket. and noat w they put in this guy waltz, who's basically an ilhan omar style, very leftisty democrat from minnesota, has the most liberal record of any governor in the country. is thagovernn the cot what the n people want. the san francisco experience homeless are in public on the sidewalks. the minnesotn a experience where cities are bur

you mentioned the failure to launch last year by ron desantis. harris campaign reposted something that donald trump had previously written. wow the twitter launch is a disaster. his campaign will be a disaster. the kamala harris campaign retweeting that. the campaign is seizing on some other comments that the former president made when talking to elon musk, praising him for firing workers that had gone on strike. today, the uaw saying that they filed federal labor charges against elon musk and donald trump for what the union views is trying to intimidate workers. expect the harris campaign to really jump on that message. tim walz making his first solo campaign appearance later today in california, speaking in front of some municipal workers as well. we expect the harris campaign to really zero in on that message, a key voting block, of course, union workers, as this campaign rolls on. >> trump just posted on truth social that there was more people listening because it crashed so many people were listening. gabe, the harris team has hired a top ad

we had an issue with ron desantis, governor desantis, a few months ago. i believe, too, right. this was last year. this was a disastrous launch of the desantis campaign on twitter that went south in a big hurry. this one, the same thing very much delayed. he claims it's the denial of service. it may have just been too many people. remember, musk not only fired something like 75% of twitter's staff, that included a lot of back end people that handle issues exactly like this. and so the fact that he was saying, hey, this is some outside attack i was on, i was tweeting, i was listening to the canned music. so it didn't shut down the entire site. this just could have been an issue of not enough support people doing this. we'll learn more about what this was in the days ahead, but the answer to your question is yes, this has happened before, certainly with ron desantis. and be yes, they should have. and i'm sure they did test this in the past. but you know, real demos sometimes go south. we've seen before. aside from the tech glitches. now, you've been listening. i haven't yet to th

governor ron desantis here in florida spoke to the media just a few minutes ago and his concerns aboute way tomorrow. >> there will be power outages if this hits here particularly even as a category one hurricane, it could get up to 85, 90, 95 miles per hour sustain winds. that is possible a residents should be finalizing all of their preparations now we are already seeing some of the imablghts from the far flung parts of the storm. reporter: and, and again, rainfall a big issue inland and up the coast here in the area. expecting 12 to 18 inches of rain more like 4 to 6, 8 inches totals around tampa and numbers up around charleston savannah coming up monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday as debby stalling out and could be a real problem here they've made preps. put tops on the pontoon boats a calm morning but it is going to go down hill quickly and this time tomorrow we'll be nowhere near on the docks on the seen hatchy back in the studio it is will rachel and joey, good morning. rachel: good morning and that's mike. he's standing in the calm before the storm. mike it is great having yo

shortly after he launched his presidential campaign, ron desantis eventually suspended his presidential that was really riddled with a number of technical difficulties, it seemed to bejust number of technical difficulties, it seemed to be just a number of technical difficulties, it seemed to bejust a poor number of technical difficulties, it seemed to be just a poor roll—out. x, elon musk and desantis got some backlash for that roll—out for that interview. it will be interesting to see how this one goes. i imagine it has taken over a year, elon musk has sort of been able to iron through some of those technical difficulties. but definitely something to watch considering these two men are people who are very much trying to cater towards a very similar audience, a conservative leaning audience, an audience that isn't as friendly with democrats. so it will be interesting to watch. it obviously raises questions about the power, the political power that can be used by the owner of this vast network. and questions about what the us government and other governments could do to regulate and cont

reminded the republican of his own reaction to the same failure that happened to his former rival ron desantis. last year, the florida governor decided to announce the start of his presidential campaign in x, but it all ended. he did not want to leave, and they told him that he can leave either in a good way or in a bad way. yes, they just took him behind the barn and essentially shot him. biden is directly responsible for what is happening in ukraine. according to the republican, everything is not from the great intelligence of the us president. biden started saying some stupid things. for example, he said that ukraine could join nato. russia would never agree. in my opinion, biden is close to the vegetable stage. biden has the entire american deep state as his advisers, it was literally hanging in trump's hands, when he tried to get out of it during his own presidency, it started with accusations of republican ties to russia. i had a good relationship with putin. putin is a good negotiator, but we had a man as president who made the situation in ukraine worse. it's disgusting. the words he s

, remember the ron desantis campaign in the republican primary? he was the darling of the tech pros. he flamed out in the trump campaign made fun both of musk and twitter and desantis for that debacle. you would think that donald trump would not have wanted to repeat that debacle. i don't know, maybe he's not superstitious man, but this -- this doesn't look good, i would say for a campaign that's trying to retool and relaunch its message. as i understand it, they have been talking to each other for something like two hours already, and to me, it reinforces what i longer leave which is that donald trump is the very best possible campaigner for the democratic ticket this year. >> rambling man. he might be able to make that his campaign song. teddy, what your take especially on the tech glitch? >> no one wants to start such a highly scrutinized technical event 40 minutes late. look, the trump campaign, they had an opportunity to talk to musk's fans for hours. he does have a cultural command of lots of young, white men, who see him as a cultlike figure

commission's investigation into... his own reaction to the same failure that happened to his former rival ron desantisst year, the florida governor decided to announce the start of his presidential campaign also on x. but it all ended in a gigantic technical glitch. trump, it turns out. 30 years ago, now he probably doesn't exist at all, in my opinion, biden is close to the vegetable stage. biden has all the american deep state as advisers, it was literally hanging on trump's hands when he tried to get out of its shackles during his own presidency, it started with accusations of the republican's ties to russia. i had a good relationship with putin. putin is a good negotiator, but our president was the man who only worsened the situation in ukraine. it's disgusting. the words he spoke are stupid threats coming from a stupid man. russia defeated germany with us, they defeated napoleon. russia has existed for a long time, it is a great fighting force, very powerful, ukraine is currently short of people, they are calling up young and old people to fight, because of this we are in a very bad position. in s

the paper is now reporting though, that the ron desantis and administration is calling for an investigation into sasse's administration. so, let's bring in a name you may hear a lot more about. eight in bush, editor-in-chief of the independent florida alligator. he joins us now, a fourth-year journalism major at you af. aidan, this is a while. tell us more about what you learned, what do we need to know? >> yeah. so, you kind of already covered it immediately. we, through public records, found that former u.s. president, ben sasse spent in his first year in office $3.7 million, which is over triple the amount that the president before him spent in his last year. and that spending was primarily through two main channels, high salaries and remote positions for former senate staff of his, and republican officials, as well as, as you mentioned, those kind of secretive contract with being in consulting firms. >> what made you even look into this, you said it was all public records, but something tipped you off. >> i mean, honestly, we have a pretty storied history of looking through public recor

ron desantis? listen, that is all good and fun and goofy but this is not.k, for some reason, vance thought it was a good idea to go after the military service of harris ' vice presidential running mate, minnesota governor tim wall. boston honorably served 24 years in the national guard but vance accused wall street of stolen valor, which is a very serious accusation, retiring from the military before his unit was deployed to iraq. what vance did not mention, of course he didn't, walz retired two months before his unit was alerted about his deployments. you don't have to be political strategist to exercise common sense, anyone would assume a candidate struggling to connect with voters will work overtime to appeal the voters, after all, that is his -- how you win politics, that is the whole thing. aside from taking on the persona of the man he is running against, why is j.d. vance choosing to come in? my panel is coming back after the break to discuss that, why some of the most toxic masculinity traits are so prevalent in donald trump's republican party. for

governor ron desantis has been on with me many times telling me there are more republicans in floridan of the florida democrat party is warning that republicans are sleeping on florida at their own peril, congressman. what do you think when you look at florida in terms of where voters are? >> well, first place, we should never take it for granted, and if none of us in florida, no republican in florida is taking it for granted. and we're seeing, again, the democrats go left and their allies spending money in the state of florida. however, i don't think floridians are confused or will be confused. you know, we have some important elections. senator rick scott is up for re-election. let me tell you what i expect. i expect him to do exceedingly well not because he's taking it for granted, because he's working it. all of us are working it. i think you going to see a strong victory by president trump, by rick scott and a number of other people. but it's precisely because florida has been working at this for many, many years, and a lot of credit, a lot of credits has to be given to president

watch excavation mark" that set the tone for the rest of ron desantis flop of a presidential campaign. more than a year later, donald trump is the republican nominee. by all accounts, it is he who is now panicking over his campaign and the surging momentum of his new rivals, kamala harris and governor tim walz. in a questionable attempt to win back the news cycle, trump decided to take a page out of the desantis playbook, which is never a good idea, and sit down for an interview on elon musk's social media platform, which is now no longer known as twitter. the whole thing went exactly as well as it did the first time. from the beginning, the interview was plagued by technical difficulties, which delayed the start by nearly 40 minutes. and, the rest of the interview was not much better. in a rambling conversation, trump made several bizarre claims. he told musk, who was, of course, the ceo of an electric company, that climate change is good because it will result in more oceanfront property. okay. he bragged about wanting to shut down the department of education. that is not a thing in

will: but i think it's a good analogy in no one had a problem with the policies of ron desantis.e in florida was about his personal relationships -- rachel: correct. will: and that's what we're seeing with fetterman and shapiro, it would appear. joey: with an eye on the midwest, we were told when j.d. vance was picked he would be parked in the midwest. and being parked in the midwest at the time, his focus was on kamala harris because she was the vp choice. well, he's speaking out now saying, hey, look, it's been 13 days since haste became the presumptive nominee of the democratic party, and she still hasn't even sat for a single interview with the media. he says, where's kamala? and i think that's a good point. rachel: it's a fair point. in fact, mark penn, who's a pollster, had this to say about kamala harris avoiding interviews. listen. >> i do think she's avoiding interviews. she was thrust into this presidential race, and she's right now formulating whatever she thinks her political positions are going to be for this race. is it going to work? it's going to work as long as s

remember a year ago that disaster of a rollout for ron desantis.to hurt your ears this early in the morning. >> that's exactly where my mind went. early this morning elon musk was doing a test from his twitter. i hope they're testing this. what were the headlines, it wasn't the substance from the ron desantis' rollout, it was that it crashed and that was a harbinger for what was to come. any time you're dealing with new media there's a little bit of risk there, especially anything live. jumping back to the financial times poll, i haven't been able to look at the cross tabs, i don't think they released that yet. i think that's another owe men of what's to come is there's going to be different groups that have different agendas and i trust the finance theal times. i think it's a good publication cay. but it was a democrat group that released the poll. cheryl: it was a democrat group that did the poll. i'm glad you brought that up. up you see trump with a 9 point lead o over her, saying they'lle in better shape with the economy. they say we would be i

more on our coverage now of tropical storm debby, we just heard from florida governor ron desantis moments ago urging residents to execute their evacuation plans. now ahead of landfall, debbie is expected to rapidly intensify into a category one hurricane as early as tonight before making landfall tomorrow morning near the big bend region of the state. it's expected to follow a similar path as what we're remember in hurricane idalia last year all right. let's bring in both cnn correspondent rafael romo in atlanta and meteorologist derek van dam watching the forecast from the cnn weather center i feel you first yeah. >> fred cities across the southeast specifically in florida, a here in georgia, and south carolina are getting ready for the impact of this storm. and governor brian kemp here in georgia the clear a state of emergency saturday because the state is expected to get potentially historic rainfall according to the national weather service and south carolina governor henry mcmaster has a done the same in his state. charleston is expected, expecting, i should say up to 18 inches of ra

after that glitch on x reposted his own words from 2023, about ron desantis. and i'm quoting now, wow the desanctus twitter launch is a disaster. the whole campaign will be a disaster watch that was what trump said about desantis when he was on when he was on that twitter exchange that after he announced his candidacy, is harris facing criticism for not sitting down for more interviews at the same time? and is that a liability for her? >> yeah. wolf, i think that the vice president is facing criticism for not sitting down, but it's important to point out where that criticism is coming from. his coming from us in the media. obviously, we are people who liked to sit down with folks and power to ask some tough questions, something that we feel is within our guidance as journalists and it's also well coming from the trump campaign, who want her to sit down because they believe in a lot of ways that maybe she makes mistakes and those unscripted moments trying to kind of put her in a place where she could look bad or she could have a bad interview. something that ha

as technical problems once again plagued the former twitter, the same way it did for ron desantis. eventually it did get under way. here's trump describing the attempt on his life. i'm a believer now. i'm more of a believer, i think, and a lot of people have said that to me. a lot of great people have said that to me, actually, but it was a it was amazing that i happened to be turned just at that perfect angle. and, all because i put down a chart on immigration that showed that the numbers were so great. i love that chart even more. maybe it's a sign. maybe that's a sign you know, it's an immigration sign. musk blamed a hack attack called a denial of service for the delay and glitches in the interview. but many experts rolled their eyes. we'll explain why in business and tech coming up at six. harris campaign quick to pounce reposting trump making fun of desantis glitchy interview back in 2023 and calling musk and trump, quote, self-absorbed rich guys who can't run a live stream in 2024. harris's choice for vice president, minnesota governor tim walz, will campaign on his own today

part of ex for the second time, mind you, because by the way, we saw this movie last year, when ron desantis tried to do the same thing on the same platform and this is kind of an embarrassment for x, but it's also for trump. who came back on the platform for this moment when trump actually something that harris is doing over on truth, social but nowhere they're trolling him putting up tweet, he put out any bad we will come back to her in just a moment, but in the meantime, here at the table this was not good from a technological perspective. i say i was trying to get on for a long time. it couldn't know it was not i wanted to get on because i was just curious as how he was start you know, if it's going to start more discipline and then blow up or thrown up, blowing up and get even hotter. but he wasn't on time and i'm not sure how many people he lost. it's my understanding more than 1 million did eventually tone and to hear what he had to say. but again, it just sort of reminds you that he is someone who has consistently not i've been able to kind of follow through the things in which he sa

donald trump had mocked ron desantis fairly. when he rolled out his campaign on x what do you make of this conversation conversation last night this was i mean this sounded like a rally speech punctuated by questions, softball question for elon musk, but listen what this was. >> if you just step back, they're trying to regain any sort of momentum that was lost since biden pass the torch to harris, who has been really feeling a wave of the last three weeks. did this disrupted? i don't think that it did last night steven, what stood out to you from this conversation? i mean, what really stood out to me was just the general lack of focus from the former president no, that the campaign had sort of built itself to beat president biden. that was the way that it was constructed. so yes, the attacks on camila, the vice president but also the lack of focus on who he's running against. he's talking about joe biden lots for a person who is not running against joe biden november well, it's kind of a wish a wish casting a totally there was a

phil, what are you saying though jessica, in the last couple of hours, florida governor ron desantis, as said, his government has for months that a federal disaster declaration adding that it has been approved, governor brian kemp here in georgia, they declared a state of emergency saturday because it's the state is expected to get potentially historic rainfall according to the national weather service south carolina governor henry mcmaster has done same in his state at these actions jessica, tell you a lot about the concern authorities have about a potentially devastating impact of tropical storm debby here in the southeast and florida as several coastal counties located in the big bend region are under mandatory evacuation orders and others i have issued voluntary evacuation orders in his latest message to the state of florida, governor ron desantis said, everybody should be aware that the storm form is expected to intensify. >> let's take a listen it's a tropical storm now. >> it's possible that you could have serious intensification between now and landfall it could get up to 85,

some operatives from governor ron desantis's failed presidential bid came in to be involved with the pack and the vendors or changed out, and that has had some resulting chaos. they're having to start from scratch less than 90 days before the election it's striking one because it sounds a lot like how he's operated in some of his business adventures up to this point as well. so on brand, on some level, your reporting make clear that that musket emphasize to the super pac and to its leadership, a desire for privacy. he'd been upset, i think by previous reporting from you and your team that revealed he told people who plan to commit about $45 a month to the group. he was asked about that at one point and said this i don't want to go that fiction made up my question is less about that comment. >> you guys have done plenty of reporting around both before and after, but more. why did he want to keep his extent the extent of his involvement quite he did not want to be the face of this pac. he actually went to lengths to hide his involvement. so for instance, when you look at the first fede

some viewers might remember when ron desantis announced on twitter spaces he was going to try to secure the republican nomination for president, it was a total disaster and elon musk is a prominent and very important supporter of donald trump, but there are issues in capacity there and what's going on, changes in staff, capability and so forth. that's a problem, but in a broader sense of things, the trump campaign needs to get their mojo back. kamala harris has had a longer honeymoon as a result as democrats head to chicago next week to start their convention on the 19th. >> i can imagine the challenge for the harris campaign is going to be to keep that momentum going and also defending her record here in san francisco. >> yeah. i mean look, the trump campaign, the professionals in the trump campaign know how to attack kamala harris and haven't been able to do that yet because donald trump hasn't been able to get back on message. part of that message is a policy focus. the focus on who she is, what she is, all of that becomes a problem personally and for donald trump. there needs to be

like, for musk, because about a year ago, he hosted a similar conversation, or attempted to, with ron desantisg to be the republican nominee for president — and kind of had similar problems and was mocked by the trump campaign. now, there are two explanations, if you like, for what happened. musk�*s theory is that this was a cyber attack, something called a denial, a distributed denial of service attack, which is essentially where hackers try and flood a service with so many requests it just all falls over and nothing works. other scholl of thought, he has cut the numbers of staff on x and the infrastructure of twitter. many people, remember, that that was always a bit flaky, and simply the volume of interest caused the system to fall over. now it has to be said, an awful lot of services get millions of users, high volume requests and manage to deal with it. so you can understand why musk would be keen to say this was a cyber attack. but there's a lot of disagreement about whether or not that account is right. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's turn to the growing tens

governor ron desantis says thousands of workers are standing by to make repairs when it's safe to doo. tom hanson, cbs news, crystal river, florida. >>> in the middle east president biden will convene his national security team on monday to discuss possible attacks against israel. it comes after iran and hezbollah swore to retaliate for recent assassinations of hamas and hezbollah officials. cbs's debora patta is in jerusalem. >> reporter: another blow against peace. israeli police clash with protesters in tel aviv where not even the threat of that iranian attack could keep them off the streets. they accuse their prime minister of choosing escalation over a hostage deal. but netanyahu remains defiant and says former israeli diplomat alon pinkus increasingly at odds with the u.s. >> he's gone completely rogue, meaning untethered from reality, intent on igniting a regional war, defying the military, defying president biden. >> reporter: pinkus believes the assassination of ismail haniyeh may have been justified but it was not smart. >> the location in tehran was meant deliberately to e

x faced similar glitches last year when musk interviewed florida governor ron desantis. >> my apologies for the late start. >> x indicated about 1.3 million people were listening when the interview with trump again, trump slammed vice president harris and president biden for their handling of the border. >> there's never been a country in history that has had a catastrophe like this. we've had, i believe, and i think you believe this many coming from jails, from prisons, from from mental institutions or a bigger version of that is insane asylums. and many are terrorists. >> trump also mocked climate change, saying rising oceans will mean more oceanfront property. and he discussed his plans to shut down the education department. >> this is where i need an elon musk. i need somebody that has a lot of strength and courage and smarts. i want to close up department of education, move education back to the states. >> the harris campaign highlighted that clip on its social media and responded to the interview, saying trump's entire campaign is in service of people like elon musk and himself, s

similar gremlins delayed the start of his conversation with ron desantis last year.en how much elon musk is a supporter of donald trump and he has come out and endorsed him in this election campaign as well. let's talk about the platform x in a bit more detail. first of all, of course, you may remember, it was back in january 2021 that donald trump was kicked off the site when it was formerly known as twitter. that was after the storming of the capitol. he's now been allowed back on today. just remind us a bit about the controversy around all of that. yeah, to sort of give you the timeline, after elon musk bought twitter, as it was then called, he unbanned donald trump — — the previous owners of twitter had deleted— sorry, not deleted but banned his account after the capitol riots injanuary 2021, as you say. he has not used this site very much. he put one tweet on around the time of one of his court cases. today he returned in a little bit more earnest. he posted several campaign videos throughout the course of the day, pretty basic campaign advertisements. what we d
