"please don't tell anybody you sent these to me," woodward says putin told trump. "i don't care," trump replied, "fine." woodward citing an unnamed aide claiming trump may have spoken to putin as many as seven times since he left the white house. nbc news has not confirmed the reporting. the trump campaign responding in part, quote, none of these made-up stories by bob woodward are true. harris slamming trump today. >> everybody was scrambling to get these kits, the tests. this guy who is president of the united states is sending them to russia to a murderous dictator for his personal use? >> and garrett, we just learned of an arrest in an election day terror plot. what more do we know? >> that's right, lester. the fbi arrested 27-year-old nasir tawhedi, an afghan citizen living in oklahoma city, saying he wanted to conduct that election day

it is also a woodward scoop. there's the concern about trump in what are often traditional circles of american politics. and that is fitting with kamala harris's pitch right now today decrying, quote, fascist threats to democracy while she very publicly embraces and campaigns top republicans. so mr. woodward is our top guest tonight. let's listen in to some of these brand-new remarks from vice president harris. >> i have sworn an oath to uphold the constitution six times including as vice president, as the united states senator, and as the top law enforcement officer of the largest state in our country. and i have never wavered from upholding that oath. and this is a profound difference between donald trump and me. he, who violated the oath to uphold the constitution of the united states, and make no mistake, he who, if given the chance, will violate it again. donald trump lost the 2020 election. and he refused to accept the will of the people and the results of a free and fair election. he sent a mob, an armed m

that's according to bob woodward in a soon to be published book called "war." woodward writes that putin told trump to keep it a secret, saying, quote, i don't want you to tell anybody, because people will get mad at you, not me. kamala harris seized on woodward's reporting today, talking about it in an interview with howard stern. >> everybody was scrambling to get these kits, the tests, the covid test kits. >> you couldn't get them. >> couldn't get them. >> right. >> couldn't get them anywhere. >> right. >> and this guy, who is president of the united states is sending them to russia, to a murderous dictator for his personal use? this person who wants to be president again, who secretly is helping out an adversary, when the american people are dying by the hundreds, every day, and in need of relief. >> reporter: trump often boasts about his close relationship with putin. >> i got along very well with putin. i spoke to him a lot. then they say how nice i was to russia. no, i wasn't nice. but we got along, we had a good relationship, which is a good thing, not

vance, was dismissive when asked about woodward. >> i honestly didn't know bob woodward was still alivei know about bob woodward is that he is -- i'm going to use a word here. he is a hack. the guy's a hack. so have i talked to donald trump about his calls with vladimir putin? no, i've never had that conversation with donald trump in my life. but if donald trump even if it's true, is there something wrong with speaking to world leaders? no? is there anything wrong with engaging in diplomacy? >> joining us now white house correspondent for politico and coauthor of "the play book" you gene daniels. there is an issue when someone is engaging in diplomacy when that person is not the president. there's only one president, of course, at a time. eugene, give us the reaction here to this new explosive reporting from bob woodward on these calls in particular. what is the white house and the biden administration saying, and what does the harris campaign say about trump continuing to consort with someone who has an avowed enemy of the united states, and someone whose military continues their invas

bob woodward be on the program monday night to discuss this book which is the surprise of books. just raise a flag. >> in our is plenty. >>> have a great show. >>> the breaking news of the day went from breaking news to a presidential campaign ad in record time. with the harris for president campaign, setting a new speed record. converting breaking news into a campaign ad. >> i would like to congratulate him for making another great deal. all of these people at the top of the game. we will get it resolved quickly. >> it takes 2 to tango. >> the shocking breaking news of the morning. it is the biggest surprise of the 21st century. it is to refer to jimmy carter's failed attempt to rescue hostages. in october 1980 within weeks of the election. the president tried to rescue the hostages but failed. and then regarded as the october surprise. just as a successful release of the hostages were rescued by jimmy carter probably would have been the october surprise that won him the election. today the surprise revealed by the post would have crushed any candidate. the new book will be publ

the details from bob woodward in his latest book. good evening. we start tonight with hurricane milton gaining strength at this moment and headed toward tampa, florida region still reeling from hurricane helene and that tonight for the second time in early as many weeks is expecting record storm surge, roads are jammed, gas running low in the area are not available in some places. i want to show you something that you don't see too often in florida. take a look that treasure island near tampa and st. petersburg and your ghost town after people evacuated, one person who is there, our boris sanchez will check in with him shortly. an astronaut aboard the spacex capsule published this time-lapse video today, giving some idea of the sheer size of this storm and the life-threatening, troubled represents president biden today warned that this could be one of the worst storms in 100 years in florida. in fact, the national weather service has storm prediction center says we could see major impacts from the storm as early as tonight, warning possible tornad

cnn has the new details from bob woodward's new book and vice president harris tonight initially drawing a blank when she was asked what she would do differently than president biden. and then one notable change came to mind i'm kaitlan collins and this is the source battered for the second time in about as many weeks, that much we know for sure tonight as forecast are saying that this storm could weaken, but it is expected to double in some eyes. what we don't know for sure tonight is exactly where this monster storm is going to make a direct hit that's why tonight, more than 1 million people have been ordered to evacuate forecasters. florida's governor, mayors, up and down that state are pleading with people not to mess around with this one the storm is now expected to hit as early as tomorrow night, but floridians are going to start to feel that way before then. and tonight you're seeing roads and highways jammed about a fifth of florida's gas stations are now without gas and fort myers up to 70% of the stations there have run out of fuel altogether. that's before the storm forum has

weatheather sere will be here and we will have reports from florida plus the new bombshell, bob woodward, book, americans leaders as we've never heard before, trump's secret shipments to vladimir putin is multiple conversations with the russian leader since leaving office. former british prime minister boris johnson is here and will react and vice president kamala harris asked what you would do differently from biden earlier today, the non-answer that perhaps fail to seize the moment in the media. in the middle of a media blitz >> i'm jake tapper and we are tracking what could become the worst storm to hit florida's gulf coast in more than a century, hurricane milton is a powerful category four hurricane right now it is teetering on the edge of becoming a category five. and is forecast to make landfall after midnight tomorrow night, just south of tampa where it could unleash record unsurvivable storm surge milton is expected to weaken slightly before landfall, but it is also expected to double in size, meaning disastrous impacts will reach far beyond the west coast of florida. more than

of course its news now because woodward has a book to sell.uld be the upside of letting the free world know they are being led by a corpse? in the book, woodward quotes, a donor sandra and one fund-raiser in june 2023, biden could not wait to sit down and only took to watch what prearranged questions. according to another attendee, he was like your 87-year-old senile grandfather. yeah,, i wish. at a new york event the following month, another observer said quote, he never completed his sentences. he would start to talk about something, jump somewhere else. he told the same story three times in exactly the same way and it meandered so much. frankly, my impression was there were times it was though we did not exist. he was just rambling and talking. as to what came into his head. that sounds familiar. [laughter] >> greg: of course up until the debate disaster, the white house and the media all insisted biden was better than ever. sharp as a tack. running rings around staffers one-third his age. rumour had it even beat randy's record for the dead

harris happened while woodward was still working on this book. so they understand, as is that over these past few weeks, he's trying to get more of kamala harris into the book. so that may be the book of the fall that sort of has the most to say about her as as vice president. you know, other than that, there there are a range of books. you have books from both hillary clinton, one that just came out. you've got a memoir from bill clinton about his post-presidential years. you actually you have a memoir from melania trump, which is noteworthy because she almost never talks to the press. very little is known about her opinions on anything. so she has a memoir coming out soon. mary trump, who is donald trump's? you could say a strange niece, has another book out, you know, sort of about the family and kind of the unhappy relationship there. one of the consequences, again, of biden's dropping out is you've got books that were clearly meant to be published with biden as a candidate. for instance. you've got a book called the biden crime family, which

woodward reported. >> so this is a fascinating story. this comes woodward writes that a top trump aide told him that this is post-presidency so a top trump aide tells woodward that trump sends him out of the room and tells him he has to leave because he's about to have a phone call with the russian president and according to woodward's book, the top ad he'd said to woodward that there have been as many as seven calls between trump and putin since since he left the white has no look, it is true. what jd vance said that former presidents do speak to other foreign leaders but normally it's not the secret, or they give the white house or state department a heads-up, a courtesy of what happens. >> that's a very, very good point, good reporting. jamie gangel. thank you. >> sure. >> and joining me now is the former supreme allied commander of nato and retired four-star admiral james stavridis, who has a new book out today, the restless wave. and we'll talk about that in a moment. but given you're someone who has actually been sanctioned by the

woodward has written trump is unfit to lee, worse than nixon.hat in watergate and "the washington post" covered that change the course of history, he says, it is the most reckless and impulsive president in all of american history. he details something that overlaps with what kamala harris just said, for those who think of that as political rhetoric, this is reporting. trump did not put the basic public safety or public interests of the american sedentary first or second or anywhere near his priorities. instead, trump was vengeful, following his election lost his campaign manager told woodward it is vengeance. trump has hit on that. take a listen. >> a lot of people will say, well, he will just do to them what they did to him and get back at them. >> a lot of people say that is what should happen. >> but you are not to do that. when you get in office you are gonna look at your political enemies -- >> i want to make this the most successful country in the world. that is what i want to do. >> woodward then reporting how donald trump used his offic

woodward has written that trump was unfit to lead, worse than nixon, who woodward and bernstein famouslybooks and "washington post" coverage that changed the course of history. he says, "it's the most reckless and impulsive president in all of american history." and he details something that overlaps with what kamala harris just said, but for those who think of that as just political rhetoric, this is reporting. that trump did not put the basic public safety or public interest of the american citizenry first or second or anywhere near his priorities and instead trump was vengeful following his election loss. his former campaign manager told woodward he doesn't see '24 as a comeback but rather vengeance and trump has hit on that. take a listen. >> a lot of people will say, well, he's just going to do to them what they did to him and get back at them and -- >> yeah, yeah. a lot of people say that's what should happen. if you want to know the truth. >> but you're not going to do that. when you get into office you're going to look at all your political enemies -- >> no, i want to make this t

for sure and ron, the other of course, a blockbuster news is that the woodward book. and there's some scenes, especially with anthony blinken who talks about the lunch woodward, talks about the lunch where he is talking to biden about stepping, whether he's going to step aside i blinken also talked to woodward and said that biden endorsing harris as quickly as he did. harkens back to the way biden felt that he didn't get that from president obama back in 2016 what were your takeaways from all this? >> well, i think the biggest political takeaway from the book will be the revelations about the continued contact with putin and providing him the covid testing. i think you hear that a lot from harris because it kind of turns america first on its head, right? i mean, the idea that trump was writing this to putin at a time when americans were struggling going to get the same services, i think is something that right away she picked up on and i think we'll continue to we are going to learn a lot more about the internal machinations of biden. stepping aside and certainly in t

what is woodward alleging? this has to do with vladimir putin, and while donald trump was still president. bob woodward writes that vladimir putin, who did not go and travel abroad for 19 months, was highly concerned about contracting the virus himself and in conversations with donald trump, the current republican president of the united states, went on to as bob woodward writes, secretly sent putin a bunch of abbott points of care covid test machines for personal use as a virus spread rapidly through russia. this really goes into detail about the relationship between these two men. i did reach out to three trump campaign officials here over the last several hours about whether specifically donald trump had any conversations with putin since leaving the white house in 2021, we have not heard back from the campaign about that. >> that's interesting. you would think if there was no contact, they would have said this is all untrue, never spoken to each other since donald trump left the white house, maybe they stil

a trump spokesperson responded saying woodward's reporting is not true and that trump gave woodward absolutelyss. norah? >> norah: scott macfarlane with those new details, thank you, scott. turning now to the war in the middle east. one year ago today, israel declared war on hamas in response to the october 7th terrorist attack. the hamas-run health ministry in gaza says an estimated 42,000 palestinians have been killed. foreign journalists cannot enter gaza on their own. cbs news relies on our producer, marwan al-ghoul, to report what's happening. cbs's elizabeth palmer has his story covering a year of war. >> i am marwan al-ghoul. was born in gaza. i am 61 years old. >> reporter: in all that time, there has never been a year as hard and heartbreaking as this one. >> not enough ambulances, just the people around, by their bare hands. >> reporter: on october 7, 2023, hamas fighters raced toward israel. hours later, israel starting bombing. the next day, marwan moved his family to a hotel for safety but kept working. he filmed this out the hotel window and understood then nothing would ever be

some of these people de-briefed woodward had cetera, right? we have no idea what putin told trump, what trump told putin, what putin promise trump financial incentives, other things things i'll help you get that ahmed, i'll help you in the campaign if necessary, i might do things to hurt biden if you become the nominee. i mean, anything could have been said and that's why i'm so really just appalled by this really lulu, i want to give you the final word. this regarding a conversation that you had today, it's 75 minute conversation with jd vance came and spoke to you, you interviewed him for the new york times and i know you're gonna be putting this into a full story, 75 minutes with jd vance what stands out to you 75 minutes with jd vance. >> so first of all, kudos and jd vance for sitting down for 75 minutes with the new york times with me. it was an interesting conversation. it ranged vary widely. it was about him his past, but mostly what we focused on is this idea of who is jd vance. we see different jd vance's at different times saying di
