Donald Trump is in Arizona he lost there last time and then pressured officials to flip the results with 54 days to go every day and hour of candidate time is precious how a campaign spends the

Louisiana who took the brunt of its Fury at the Department of Justice the Attorney General is stacking the sandbags he gave an extraordinary speech on Thursday seeking to protect the rule of law from

which may prescribe him a contempt citation and some Wall Street firms put a cap on how many hours employees can work each week and finally there are more people in space right now than could fit comfortably on a car rental shuttle van it's a galactic record The Daily Report starts in a [Music] moment hello thank you for joining us we begin our report on the campaign Trail Donald Trump and kamla Harris has traveled to Battleground States Thursday for the first time since their debate earlier this week former president traveled to the Western border state of Arizona while the vice president is focusing her energy on North Carolina a state that went to Trump the last two elections the two won't see each other on the debate stage again it seems Thursday Trump put the kabash on that meanwhile Harris gained yet another Republican endorsement former Attorney General under President George W bush Alberto Gonzalez he announced his support for the Democrat Thursday called Trump quote the most serious threat to the rule of law in a generation in the rule of law in Georgia a judge threw out two of the 10 charges against Trump in the Fulton County election interference case that is on hold for the moment the judge said the charges of conspiracy to commit filing false documents and conspiracy to commit forgy belonged in federal court CBS News political correspondent Caitlyn huy Bur Burns joins me now from Tucson Arizona so Caitlyn is that it for the debates no debates it's over no more well well John good to see you as you may know when it comes to Donald Trump Never Say Never but he did make it pretty clear today through a so true social post and actually starting off his rally here in Chon Arizona by saying there will not be a third debate and he also took to the stage here Arizona and right off the bat in this first post debate rally uh spent a significant amount of time criticizing the debate moderators calling the debate rigged uh really kind of feeding into the rhetoric that we saw from his campaign in the wake of that performance and declaring Victory uh in his words from that debate but at the same time arguing that he doesn't want to do another one now CBS News has offered another debate in October for the two presidential candidates we'll see if any minds are changed uh before then we also of course are having a vice presidential debate on October 1st that is still on the books of course but uh it's telling John that uh the former president spending the top of his speech which you know he's coming here to focus on immigration and the economy but focusing the top of this appearance on criticizing the moderators of that debate a couple of nights ago fascinating uh all right so let's stay with um former president Trump for the moment what what's the sense and I know he's just started talking about about how he's going to spend basically the next 54 days yeah well it's telling John that he chose Arizona to come to after that debate uh Arizona as you mentioned is a key Battleground State a state that Donald Trump lost by just about under 11,000 votes and polls show that it is very close here he's been here four times over the course of the 2024 cycle and I was with him covering him just a couple of weeks ago when he was here in Tucson and also made a visit to the southern border they're really trying to focus on the issue of immigration especially here in Arizona but really across these Battleground States and also the economy a specific portion of the economy here in Arizona they want to focus on the issue of unaffordable housing and we see in our own CBS News poll a couple of months ago in Arizona a majority vast majority of Voters feel like it is almost impossible to buy a house more difficult than it was for their parents' generation and their work so those are the issues the campaign would like to focus on but as we saw in that debate uh this is a candidate who goes off script and doubles down those controversial uh and debunked claims that he made about Springfield Ohio in that debate I will say just a few minutes ago he echoed here in remarks Kaitlyn you're doing an amazing job with the crowd behind you people are getting a taste of what it's like a little bit to be at a trump rally the final question for you is about North Carolina and the other campaign the Harris campaign do they really think it's in play this is the hardest of the Battleground states by the traditional assumptions um give us your thoughts that's right John ever since Barack Obama won it in 2008 Democrats have been trying to repeat that uh d DC and have been unsuccessful I interviewed Democratic governor Roy Moore uh Sor excuse me Roy Cooper excuse me Roy Cooper a couple of nights ago at the debate and he said the reason that he thinks it's actually in play now as opposed to when Biden was was the uh of all the the states that Donald Trump won he won North Carolina by the smallest of margins in 2020 so they believe the ground has been fertile for them especially with young voters and African-American voters in that state the key here is having a new candidate that could perhaps energize and activate them it's also a state when you look at the South it uh has a a Democratic governor there's a key Governor's race as well so those kinds of races could be tied but it will be an uphill climb and the Caris campaign is hoping that by spending time there they also hope they also will force Republicans to spend time and money uh in that state that they should have in their col Caitlin huy Burns in the middle of a trump rally in Tucson thanks a lot Kaitlin frine which was Category 2 hurricane Wednesday has weakened significantly as it moves North over the land it made landfall in Louisiana which appears to have gotten the worst of it as of Thursday evening more than 251,000 were without electricity in Louisiana 10,000 in Mississippi 32,000 in Alabama and 10,000 in Tennessee CBS News National correspondent Dave malov joins us now from Huma Louisiana Dave you just got back from the uh area where the storm made the landfall is that right yeah just uh just east of there we were in duac and as we were driving down there John there was street light after street light after street light where you had to treat it as a stop sign because all the power is out in here the only place that I've seen power is one gas station over here it made landfall down there as a category 2 hurricane now it's become a tropical storm again but it did intensify pretty quickly in the Gulf of Mexico cuz it's so warm down there and what's go what's happening behind you um is that as a result of the storm yeah yeah that is this uh pile that you see behind me is easier to see actually if we go to the sky and we go to the drone look at what has happened to this building John this is the junk in the trunk thrift store here in Huma it's uh owned by Dan the junkman Stevens and look what happened to it the RO the roof was ripped apart and those steel beams in there were just torn apart into these razor sharp steel beams that are sitting there right at head level so right now you can kind of see on the Drone that they are building a temporary wall to make the people weren't going in there overnight when they can't see those steel beams and looking for things to take from there but John this is this is an important store to the neighborhood it's the most affordable place for a lot of people to shop it means a lot to the Stevens themselves this is kind of a passion project for them and they're just so sad not to see the store go but to see the community go that was here the relationship that they have with the customers that are in here all the time and the store won't survive they'll probably have to tear it down but they're just looking to see what they're going to do move it back into storage there's so much stuff in there you'll see more of what's inside that store on the CBS Evening News coming up Dave malof great reporting thanks so much Dave an earthquake rocked parts of Southern California Thursday according to the US Geological Survey the 4.7 Quake struck roughly 4 miles north of Malibu there were sever several small aftershocks but thankfully there were no reports of injuries or serious damage many people in the area were not only jostled in their beds in the morning but if they rushed to the window to see what was going on they peered through yet another day of orange Haze more than a dozen wildfires are burning in the state with at least three big ones in Southern California Ben Tracy is on the ground John this is just some of the destruction left behind by the airport fire which tore through parts of two different counties south of Los Angeles this is one of three major fires in the area that have now charred more than 110,000 Acres destroying dozens of homes injuring several people including firefighters there are now 6,000 fire Personnel working these Three Fires and that is really straining the resources of both calire and the folks they're bringing in from other states as well as the federal government now the cause of two of these fires is still being investigated but as it pertains to the line fire in San Bernardino County officials there believe that is actually arson and they have now charged 34-year-old Justin Hollenberg who investigators say intentionally started that fire he's being charged with arson injury to a firefighter and the use of three incendiary devices and the district attorney there believes that he was involved in setting other fires in the area now for a bit of good news the weather has changed dramatically temperatures have dropped the winds have died down and that should be really beneficial to Firefighters as they try to get a handle on all three of these blazes but it could still be several days before people are allowed back into neighborhoods like this one to see what they've lost John Ben Tracy

soon as they get [Music] out at the start of the Year Donald Trump told Congressional Republicans to block border security legislation now Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is testing whether Republicans will pass something that Donald Trump says he does want Schumer plans to bring a bill to the senate floor next week to make insurance companies cover inv vitro fertilization treatment Trump recently said he would push for such a measure Republicans in the Senate not so much they blocked a similar bill in June that would have made access to IVF treatment a right and mandate insurance plans cover it the issue has become a secondary front in the political battle over Reproductive Rights the Chinese government could hoist America's Maritime industry into chaos through the cranes used at Sea ports that's according to a joint investigation from two Republican Le house committees the probe says technology inside the cranes from a Chinese grain maker known as zpmc could allow China to gain access to sensitive data or disrupt maritime operations the company's cranes account for 80% of cranes used at American ports lawmakers say zpmc have already asked multiple times for remote access to the cranes at various ports the Biden Administration announced plans in February to invest billions in replacing Chinese built cranes attorney general Merck Garland denounced what he called an escalation of attacks against the justice department during a Thursday speech that got fiery and emotional at times our Norms are a promise that we will not allow this nation to become a country where law enforcement is treated as an apparatus of politics Maryland's comments came amid a rise in threats against not only justice department employees but other law enforcement officials and members of Congress he sounded the alarm about the what he called worrying Spike of these threats during Congressional testimony back in June CBS News Congressional correspondent Scott McFarland has been following the story he joins us now from Capitol Hill Scott what prompted the timing why now for the Attorney General to hold this press conference it was quite striking he did it publicly John this was an internal meeting of Department of Justice officials and employees to whom Merck Garland was speaking he could have done it on Zoom or in a windowless conference room instead he found an auditorium a microphone and invited cameras to make an external message out of this too two different themes here and they are happening about 50 days away from an election and I think that might have been part of the timing here is to send a message at an impactful moment that the department must not be caught up in politics will not be caught up in politics will not be an extension of political arms it's been a consistent message from him he wanted to amplify it today by saying it in front of a broader audience but also speaking to what we've been hearing over the past 48 hours from local election officials from local local County clerks that there is a targeting a menacing of public officials going on in this election cycle and what the Attorney General said today is that yes he recognizes his employees at the Department of Justice are facing harassment menacing and threats simply for doing their jobs trying to say I think in in in some form John we have your back and we see it so he's talking about political influence but was he is there a subtext here about which side whether it's Donald Trump and his allies Or democrats um is he pointing even in the subtext fingers at one side or another oh it's a really good question and he didn't name names he didn't name parties he is a particularly effective messenger at the Department of Justice for why the department must be a political he faces questions about Donald Trump all the time and often responds with this department stays clear and free from politics was there a subtext well let's talk about the timing here he's giving this message that the Department of Justice will not be an extension of a political arm of a political part of this government days after Donald Trump posted on social media about the need to prosecute certain people donors lawyers some campaigns for their political activities it's hard to escape the ju toos of trump social media posts and Meritt Garland saying we will not be an extension of politics okay I've got a couple other matters in Washington for you one is that on Wednesday the Department of Homeland Security declared that January 6th um 2025 so four years after the attack on the Capal um they declared it a national special security event is that always the case for that date or is there something new that's warranted that special security measure it is not always the case and let's take a step back imagine you're in a pre- January 6 2021 world and somebody said the ministerial electoral certification needs to be a national security event you'd go why that sounds crazy it's such a mundane thing or in a post January 6 20121 world and the Congressional officials with whom I'm speaking today say they want to send Homeland Security extra help Extra Protection extra reinforcement we'll take it no harm there but I talked to a few members of Congress who said If you're trying to to to take solace in the capital being better protected January 6 2025 you are fighting the old war the last war this is not where we feel vulnerable right now it's the softer targets elsewhere in the country after November 5th I spoke with Jamie Raskin a Maryland Democrat who you recall was on that house January 6 select committee here's what he said about the new Homeland Security posture here at the capital I think we learned on January 6 you can never have too much security because you don't know what someone's going to throw at you um you know we we can't prepare for every attempt at political coup or violent Insurrection but we certainly can anticipate the possibility of things happening again that happened before and we should make sure that there's um invulnerable physical security at the capital John there is the side benefit you say it's a national security event you send out a bigger message to the world that we are ready we're on a war footing yes exactly all right final question Scott and it's related one of the ways in which may hem grows um around election time is if there is confusion if people think that somebody's getting away with something and if the rules aren't clear for everybody you've also been reporting on concern that election officials are having regarding mail-in ballots a part of the casting of votes what's happening there yeah what they're doing the state elected officials the secretaries of State both parties around the country are telling the Postal Service get up to speed here check your Staffing levels check your Staffing training we've had some early indications there's a risk ballots will be delivered late or some will be returned undeliverable there was a whole Throwdown in 2020 where the postal service and the Postmaster General to grie for moving some equipment out of place before the election amid fears it would slow down the returns problems did not occur in 2020 in that sense and they don't want it happening here John what I I'd say is it's it's not a five alarm fire it's just like a fire drill let's get up to speed the same way if your son or daughter comes home with a bad grade on the midterms you say get your act together if you want the report card to look better when the semester ends Scott McFarland with the analogies and fielding all the ground balls for us thank you so much Scott now to Ukraine President Vladimir zalinski has accused Russia of escalating the conflict by attacking a civilian ship transporting grain in the Black Sea CBS News foreign correspondent Ian Lee has more on the missile strike Ian in London Ian John this is a sign significant move by Moscow the ship was carrying grain to Egypt when a Russian Missile hit it and there were no reports of casualties but this is an escalation of tensions this is the first time a civilian ship carrying grain has been targeted since the start of the invasion in 2022 and the attack happened close to the Waters of NATO member Romania and this comes as Ukrainian President vlir seninsky says Russia has launched a counter offensive in the KK region and Moscow hopes to dis LOD Ukrainian troops after they stormed across the border 5 weeks ago but ke says it anticipated the response today Secretary of State Anthony blinkin ended a tour of Europe focused on the war Ukrainian officials pleaded to let them take off the gloves and use long range missiles deep into Russia so far weapons like the British Storm Shadow and the American Army tactical missile system are limited to defensive strikes inside the country and anticipating any change in policy from Washington President Vladimir Putin warned that allowing such long range strikes would mean that NATO Nations like the United States and European countries are at war with Russia and that Moscow would make decisions based on those kinds of threats but these strikes by Ukraine would likely be part of what president zalinski is calling his victory plan which he is expected to present to President Biden later this month John Ian Lee in London for us thank you very much Ian last week a 26-year-old American activist was killed during a violent Riot involving Palestinians in the West Bank Tuesday Israel's military said one of its soldiers un was unintentionally responsible but an investigation by The Washington Post undermines the idf's account based on Witnesses witness interviews and dozens of videos the post found that Israeli troops shot iser eggy about half an hour after the height of the demonstrations and about 20 minutes after protesters had moved some 200 yards away from Israeli forces the IDF says the soldier

abducting and eating people's pets police say there are no reports of that but Donald Trump repeated the line during Tuesday's presidential debate Elite colleges play a big role in shaping leaders and setting expectations about the possibilities in America and who has access to them admissions to those schools had to change when more than a year ago the Supreme Court ended affirmative action now enrollment of black students is down at Harvard black students make up 14% of the new class of freshman that's down from 18% from the previous year Hamer dropped from 11% to 3% at Yale a different story The University Sheriff black freshman stayed at 14% for the new school year so what is happening here Scott White is here to help us understand he's a former director of guidance at Monclair high school and a freelance writer for Forbes on College admissions thanks for being with us why might we be seeing this dip at some schools while schools like Yale show no change well it was not just the Supreme Court ruling we also had a fast issue where about 10% fewer students submitted fastes this year due to the difficulties particularly undocumented students in terms of uh the Supreme Court ruling many colleges have put out proxies to try to increase their black enrollment on campus those proxies include looking at lowincome schools schools with low colleg goinging populations scholarships uh looking at uh assets and income rather than just uh racial issues for some schools like Amherst or MIT which saw large drops in black students they're very specific students Amherst is a small liberal arts college MIT is a technical school I think the schools that had more success in maintaining uh diversity within their campuses were schools that were more uh schools that didn't have that same kind of specificity that students might have trouble uh matching up with and Scott quickly just remind us what FAFSA is and and the snafu there right the FAFSA is a free application for federal student aid they were doing an update this year and it was a real mess uh applications were not being processed on time uh up until recently uh very many students could not apply but recently the numbers have improved but that has been something that has also affected students applying to college as a matter of recruitment for these Elite colleges how important is is diversity um and having a diverse student body for attracting the kinds of students these schools want well diversity is important for a number of reasons but if none for none other that students learn from student than other students that are not like them but diversity is not just diversity of col it's also diversity of income diversity of racial and ethnic backgrounds so there are many ways of increasing diversity some schools have scholarships ruter gives out a scholarship for a community college some students are flying in students who might be lwi income most colleges are putting a diversity question on their application but the reality is is that diversity is something that colleges value but it's tough with the with the Supreme Court ruling what many colleges are doing is increasing the number of lowincome students on their campus which will also bring in a lot of diverse students that is something that only the better endowed schools can do though lower endowed schools cannot necessarily do that but schools like the IV plus schools certainly can do that if I had my say I would have an American college American uh Care Act for colleges where only students only spent what they could afford or increasing the pel grant by doubling that those are two things that would do much more effective increase in minority populations of colleges rather than some of the actions they've been taking finally Scott let me ask you about this after the Supreme Court's decision on affirmative action uh justice Neil Gorsuch among others criticized legacy admissions which is basically preferential treatment for the children of Alum alumni for States abanded for public colleges how much of an edge do students typically get if one of their parents went to one of these Elite schools when it comes time to trying to get in well I want will mention that a number of public and private schools have eliminated legacy admissions places like Texas A&M and University of Minnesota on the public end places like Wesley and in Amherst on the private end legacy admissions is more of a thumb on the scale but the problem with legacy admissions is mostly the Optics of legacy admissions because it deals mostly with wealthy and white individuals who are getting that Advantage from historical processes before that um colleges if they really want to affect diversity within their schools and they want to limit the preference for students who are not diverse things like adjusting athletic recruiting and uh might have a much bigger impact than that my experience is is that Legacy students have a thumb on the scale my experience is that a have this incredible uh increase in admissions likelihood so that for in my opinion the Optics of uh legacy admissions are difficult but the reality is that athletic admissions have a much bigger impact Scott White thank you so much for that Insight Scott thank you very much nice to talk to you the head of the NYPD has stepped down

found well you know we met with uh Senator Mary from Massachusetts and Senator Cassie who's a physician from Louisiana and they are outraged because they are now finding out what we've been finding out which is that the one of the plays that's happening is that a a private Equity back company goes into a troubled neighborhood a troubled hospital and they say you know what we're going to buy that hospital and we're going to help it fine so they buy it and they get like a billion dollars say for the sale and that's from a re from a real estate invest trust and we're going to take it we're going to reinvest it into into the hospital system but what they're actually doing what they've done in a number of cases is they've taken a huge chunk of that hundreds of millions of dollars and put it in their own pockets and then they say well oh you know we try the best we can and these hospitals you know we got to shut them down so hospitals are being shut down hospitals we heard testimony today I I heard the whole couple hours of testimony from just outrage nurses they didn't have the supplies they didn't you know the air conditioning system last month that Phoenix didn't work and the
