good morning, everyone, i'm bianna golodryga. and it is very busy friday in washington. right now we're standing by as a federal judge sentencing former top trump adviser steve bannon. he was convicted this year on two counts of contempt of congress. all of this stemming from his refusal to testify before the january 6 select committee. plus we're on scene watch. the committee could request an appearance from trump. and he has hired a new lawyer to handle a suspected subpoena from the committee. and let's begin with the steve bannon sentencing. cnn correspondent sara murray is outside of the u.s. district court in washington, d.c. the judge this morning said bannon has expressed no remorse for his actions. walk us through how all of this is expected to play out today. >> reporter: well, sure, bianna. they're getting through the housekeeping items they have to

get through before the judge hands down a sentence. what bannon's team was hoping for that he would get probation, maybe that he if gets some kind of sort of prison sentence that he would be able to serve it from home and ultimately they're hoping that any punishment is delayed while bannon tries to appeal his conviction. and the judge has already shot down at least a piece of that. the judge made it clear this morning that there is a one-month minimum behind bars. so not showing up to testify when he got a subpoena from the january 6 committee and not handing over any documents. so the judge making clear bannon is looking at least a minimum of one month behind bars. and the judge points out that bannon hasn't shown any remorse for his crimes, for not showing up. any willingness to comply with the subpoenas. now bannon's attorney was speaking to the court a little bit after that and he said, look, bannon doesn't owe an apology for anything. he said there is nothing here to punish.

they said steve bannon just relied on the advice of his counsel, that he wasn't tried to behave as though he was above the law. we'll see how the judge reacts to that. they still have a few more things to get through before the sentence. the government has asked that he get six months behind bars and a $200,000 fine. >> thank you. paul rosen is serving as senior counsel for the whitewater investigation. there you heard it from the judge saying that bonnon shows no remorse for his actions. bannon responding saying he has no reason to apologize because he did nothing wrong. factoring all of that in, how do you expect the judge to rule? >> well nobody made any money with predictions like this but if i had to guess, it may toward the top end. it may not be six months, but it ma may be four or five. especially with the judge correctly noting that bannon has

showed no remorse and the judge recognizing that this is fundamentally not just about bannon, but about respect for the process. bannon's contempt of congress is basically an assault on the rule of law. and an assault on the idea that everybody must respond to lawful demands from congress or from a grand jury for example. and that is the type of thing that judges take seriously. because they are in the end the keepers of that process. >> so in a senses you using the as a public example. overnight two prominent witnesses, kenny -- kelly loeffler and pat cipollone has appeared before a grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the election there in georgia. what do you make of this development? >> well, it is part of the continuing effort by the fulton county d.a. to build a case involving the efforts to overturn the georgia election.

most famously president trump's call to the then secretary of state asking him to find 11,000 votes to turn the election over. what it really does demonstrate to me is that the fulton county d.a. is focusing on the one call that happened. if that is only her focus, we would be done by now. but she's looking at the potential criminality of a large number of people. including possibly rudy giuliani, possibly mark meadows, others who participated in the president's efforts. and so this suggests to me that when an indictment is brought, it is much broader than an indictment about a single phone call. >> on cipollone, we know he has cooperated with the january 6 committee and its investigation. but we also know that he's asserted executive privilege as well throughout that investigation in his time before the committee.

do you expect he would have done the same here before this grand jury? >> well he must have. a privilege once waived could never be reclaimed. if he spoke about it to the georgia grand jury, he would have to speak it about to the federal grand jury or to congress. so he's a very fine lawyer. and if he's maintaining a privilege, he would have maintained it as well in the georgia case. the fact that we didn't see anything about it suggests that he and the district attorney reached an understanding of what the reasonable parameters were, much of the january 6 committee did and limited their questions to what he was willing to answer. >> staying with that same investigation in georgia. a federal court has ruled that that grand jury can in fact subpoena and question at least some questions to senator lindsey graham. he has been trying to push this and delay this for months now. can he continue to do so? >> well, he can continue to try. his only two recourses now are a

petition to the entire 11th circuit court before a three judge panel, could ask the member court to hear him or ask the supreme court to hear his case. neither is likely to hear the case. but he is likely to siekucceed gaining another month or two of delay. >> motheanother month or two. which is kicking the can down the road. we're hearing more color about what is taking place outside of the courtroom in washington as judge is deliberating on the sentence for steve bannon. and the doj has just argued that he should -- they are arguing for a longer sentence and greater fines say that he thumbed his nose at congress. this speaks to your point, not only about precedent, but respecting the rule of law. >> yes. very much so. and i think they're right. he is a -- a context of congress has a technical meaning to it.

but bannon has shown nothing but contempt for the rule of law. he thinks he's above the law. judge nichols understands that in sentencing bannon he's setting an example for peter navarro and potentially for president trump and others who might be in contempt of congress if they were to receive subpoenas. and so in many ways the sentence that bannon gets is a lot more than about bannon. it is about bannon and everyone else as well. >> and on that note, president trump we know has just hired a new attorney, new counsel in light of this anticipated subpoena from congress. what do you make of this hire? i know that she has represented others that have been close to the president as well throughout the investigation, the january 6 investigation. >> well, it is interesting in that he seems to have finally figured out that the quality of his representation actually materially impacts his ability to respond to the legal troubles

he's facing. the dylan law firm has a pretty good reputation and is likely to give him good advice. whether he takes it or not is a different question. but at least he's -- he seeps to have understood that he needs good lawyers. i hope they got their fee up front. >> yeah. michael flynn was presented throughout this investigation. paul rosen, thank you. >> thank you very much. and our coverage continues tonight at 11:00 as our drew griffin digs deeper into steve bannon and his plan to reshape the u.s. government and the republican party. watch the cnn special report divided we fall, that is tonight. and just into cnn, lloyd austin speaking by phone this morning with his russian counterpart defense secretary. it is just the second time that the two have spoken since russia invaded ukraine. in a read out of the call austin

emphasized the importance of maintaining lines of communication. let's get to barbara starr at the pentagon with more on this. and there had been some questions raised by russian officials and the russian ambassador about when these channels of communications had been opened, were they still open. we're getting some confirmation today from lloyd austin. >> reporter: well, look, the channels of communication on the u.s. side we could speak to. those are always open. it is very clear that they maintain those channels of communication. but for many months now silence on the other end. we have been told that the russians have not been interested in accepting any phone calls from the defense secretary, from the pentagon, from the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. something has happened here. there has now been a phone call this morning between austin and his counterpart, the minister of defense, sergei shoygu. we don't know who instigated the

call but whatever happened, he accepted the line of communication from the u.s. the two have not spoken since may 13th and before that they only spoke a few days before the russian invasion back in february. so, what is not being said may be the post interesting here. because you could bet, guaranteed that vladimir putin knew this call was going to happen and accepted the notion of whatever discussion happened with the u.s. side. now these calls with the russians are very formalized. we've been told for months now they have happened in previous administrations. they are essentially scripted. each side knows how far they could go, what they could say, what they're talking points are. lloyd austin clearly wanted to communicate that he wants the lines of communication open and you can expect that the secretary also voices, you know, the continuing u.s. strong opposition to the war in ukraine

to the invasion of ukraine. we don't know what shoygu's points were. but it is an interesting thing that they somehow, for some reason decided to have this communication today. so now looking forward, the thing to watch will there be additional communication between the u.s. and russia that we will learn of. will the chairman of the joint chiefs talk to his military counterpart? will there be additional communication across the administration with the russians now? does this pave the way for some continuing level of communication? that is something that the u.s. has wanted for some time. bianna. >> and this communication happening as a nuclear deterrent exercises are being conducted by nato as well. barbara starr, thank you. joining me now to discuss all things ukraine, andrew wise,

and author of a new novel, accidental czar, the life and lies of vladimir putin. just to get your response there to news from lloyd austin speaking with his counterpart shoygu. we saw shoygu with vladimir putin touring facilities for mobilized troops in russia. they were well equipped, quite the contrary from what we had been reporting and hearing on ground there where soldiers were having to buy their own equipment and scarce resources. what do you make of the timing of this all? >> so the lines of communication between the u.s. and russian militaries are probably the most important channel that currently exists. there is a real precarious situation on the battlefield inside of ukraine. and a lot of worries about escalation. and given that vladimir putin has been rattling his nuclear sabres, given his attacks on infrastructure inside of ukraine and very mysterious attacks on

western infrastructure, including the nord stream pipeline and the german railway network, there is worry things that might get out of hand. so having military leaders in touch is a good thing. >> and this happens just days of putin imposing martial law there on the four illegally annexed territories in ukraine and tightening defense and security measures within russian closer to the ukraine border. i'm curious to get your response to how one former kremlin insider, a former speech writer for vladimir putin interpreted this. he said in general all of this looks not so much as a struggle with an external enemy but as an attempt to prevent a revolution ripening within the country. who do you make of that? do you agree? >> one could always hope but at the moment vladimir putin's hold on power is quite strong and there is no signs of a major rupture within the russian elite or defections saying we can't

take it any more, we oppose this criminal war. and you don't see significant upsurge in grassroots opposition either. so for the time being, russia remains a ricketing authoritarian country but i don't think vladimir putin is having trouble sleeping at night. >> how much are they paying attention to europe and the changing of prime minister in the u.k., a strong supporter of ukraine. but also even here in the united states, where you have minority leader mccarthy say that there will be no blank check at some point and that will be sooner rather than later if republicans take control of congress. >> so for many years the strategy has been that the west will fall apart. that the united states will lose interest in this war. that there will be divisions between the united states and its european allies and all of the socioeconomic pressures will hem in western leaders resolve and determination to stand by ukraine. that is the best hope for the russians at this point.

as well as the idea that they could simply outlast the kr ukrainians on the battlefield. it is not crazy but it is betting that the short-term set backs won't add up to a major strategic defeat. >> and on that note, on vladimir putin, tell us a little bit more about your book and why you wrote it. >> so, from his very earliest days as russia's leaders in the late 1990s and early 2000, the kremlin created this cartoonish image of vladimir putin. they put him on submarines and had him fly jet aircraft to give the russian people a sense that the leader was competent and he was solid. all of this was a big contrast to boris yeltsin who was showing up on the job drunk or incapacitated. but at some point that pop culture image has crossed over into our political and pop culture. and when i tried in this book is

to strip away the myth and show who vladimir putin is. to show his impulsivity and his desire to kind of seize tactical advantage wherever he can. >> and it really is effective and unique to see this approach to a man who has been offered for so many years now in stories that have been told so many ways that you have. great to you have on, andrew. congratulations on the book. >> thank you so much. and still to come, this morning a cnn exclusive report on the failed response at robb elementary in uvalde. what ware learning about a order that prevented the strike team from entering the classroom while the massacre continued. and we're keeping an eye on twitter stock this morning as new details emerge about elon musk's takeover. with nelson, a volunteer who puts care into everything he does.

despite being massively outraised by gop superpacs throughout this election cycle, many democrats hold a critical advantage heading into election day. right now some candidates have way more cash on hand than their republican opponents. cnn capitol hill reporter melanie zanona joins me now. where are we seeing the biggest advantages and where is cash on hand so critical as we hit the home stretch. >> this is so important. as you pointed out, republican superpacs have been outraising democratic superpacs but one area where democrats are seeing an advantage is how many individual candidates are raising and they're posting huge sums in some key senate and

house races. in some cases the democratic opponent is outraising the republican opponent by millions of dollars and this matter because candidates are allowed to book cheaper air time than a committee or pack. and these are third quarter numbers, in georgia rafael warnock has 13.9 compared to herschel walker, 7.4 million and mark kelly has $2 million and compa compared to plaque masters and john fetterman has 4.2 million compared to memez oz's $2.5 million. there is a bright stretch in the midterms but they're still facing a battle in the house and the senate, bianna. >> interesting. thank you. well in about 30 minutes president biden will speak at the white house about reducing the deficit. this is as he tries to build

momentum for democrats with less than three weeks to go to the midterms. and this afternoon he heads to delaware state university to talk about student debt relief. the supreme court just rejected efforts to temporarily block the loan forgiveness program. may reston joins me now. it is a clear effort to boost turnout from younger voters. is that the right issue before election day. >> it is a bit of a gamble for the white house, because this has shown to be an issue that younger voters and particularly voters of color are really excited about these moves. but it is a gamble because there are a lot of other voters who see this policy as unfair. i had heard from a lot of seniors out in the field that they don't see this as being something that is fair to their own grandchildren. and so it is a real risk that the white house is taking here. but it is part of this whole

week of biden trying to show what he has been doing to bring down american's costs at a time when they are struggling with inflation and gas prices. he spoke about abortion on tuesday. he focused on infrastructure, today it is student loans. and so it is part of problem for him is that voters memories are very short. and he needs to be out there sort of reminding people what this administration has done in order to get that democratic enthusiasm ticking back up just three weeks before election day. >> and we're looking at video of him yesterday on the campaign trail there and in pennsylvania with john fetterman who is in a suit. rarely get to see him in a suit and not a hoodie. but the president bristled a bit when asked whether he had any concern that some candidates were distancing themselves from him. here is what he said. >> tim ryan in ohio said he doesn't want you there. warnock said -- wouldn't say. do you think they're making a

mistake. >> no. i've 16 in 48 and a latimore. another 20 or so. >> there haven't been that many candidates campaigning with. >> that is not true. there have been 15. count. take count. >> so white house chief of staff ron klain this is a strategic decision on their part not to have the president at rallies because they don't view them as effective. what is the real story here? >> the real story is that biden is a huge liability for a lot of these candidates in very tielgt ra -- very tight races. and whether they want biden out on the campaign trail with them, a lot of them hedge. and that is because his approval ratings are so low, and reminding votes or getting out there could end up in attack ads from republicans at this point. so, you know, the white house could argue that these speeches are a more effective way of driving the messaging. but the person who is the most

wanted surrogate out on the campaign trail at the big rallies is going to be former president barack obama who we're going to see hitting the campaign trail in a lot of those key states coming up. >> earlier i spoke with congressman ruben gallego and he's on the ballot as well. and he talked about the most pressing issues among voters and hispanic shvoters as well. you were visiting nevada and arizona. what are you hearing from voters? >> well people are hurting so much out there economically. and you talk to people who say they've taken on second jobs, that their cutting all of these costs and having trouble covering the bills so when you ask them about things like the inflation reduction act, which democrats are touting in these closing weeks, a lot of people say well i'm not feeling anything yet. and they -- some of them even laugh when you mention the name of that act. they say where is the reduction.

so peepople are really hurting d it is a sour mood out there and that is a huge challenge for democrats in the final weeks. republicans haven't really offered much in terms of what their plans are to actually help people. but they are managing to hammer the democrats in these ads blaming inflation on the biden administration and democrats and people are just really struggling out there. >> we'll see what impact that all of that has in terms of turnout if he don't view republicans as having the remedy but aren't happy with what democrats are offering. thank you. >> thank you so much. and next, a cnn exclusive, showing the moments of confusion among law enforcement during the shooting in uvalde. >> no, we vn heard that. we're in the floors, right. >> anybody hurt? >> no, not here. >> ems in there already?

in a cnn exclusive report this morning, new audio reveals a texas state police captain's commands may have contributed to

the failed law enforcement response to the uvalde shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead. as a tactical team was ready to breach the classroom, they were ordered to stand by. cnn's shimon prokupecz has the details. >> reporter: amid the chaos in uvalde, texas, where nearly 400 law enforcement responded to a deadly school shooting last may, krp has learned commands may have contributed to the broader failed response that day. while a gunman sat in a room full of dead, dying and traumatized children, new police radio transmissions obtained by cnn show texas department of public safety captain joel bettan court giving an order to stop police frommenering the classroom. and one memo described him before he arrived telling officers to stay away from the school and remain on the perimeter during the initial response to the shooting.

captain bet ancourt was one of 91 on scene in uvalde. he's one of the seven referred for further investigation over his actions. after lie onnizing the police response in the initial days, the texas governor and state officials have pushed the blame for what has since been acknowledged as a failure on the local and school police. but cnn has now reviewed memos written just two days after the shooting that detail actions by the dps that allegedly went against protocol for mass shootings. one lieutenant wrote, i heard someone shout out captain bettan court said all personnel need to be on perimeter. do not enter the building and a sergeant reported he knew this was against established training and so he entered the school anyway. by by the time bettancourt arrived, students anz teachers have been trapped for more than an hour.

some at the scene like this border patrol are aware of the urgency inside of the classroom. >> we haven't heard that. we're in the -- this is the building. >> anybody hurt? >> no, not here. >> yes, there are. >> are else in there already? >> no, the shooter is still in here. >> he's in here. >> the last contact we had was one of our school pd officers, his wife is a teacher and she called saying she's dying. [ inaudible ]. >> a border patrol tactical unit is preparing to end the standoff and storm the classroom. >> units making breach. >> reporter: in a move that sources tell cnn has shocked people inside of dps, bettancourt picked up his radio

and tried to stop the breach. >> hey, this is -- [ inaudible ]. >> reporter: the traps mission could be clearly heard on several body warn cameras inside and outside of the hallway of robb elementary. the tactical unit was already making entry. >> subject down. subject down. >> kids, kids. >> and the shooter is killed and a devastating scene is revealed in the classroom. an in interview with investigator that has been detailed to cnn, bettancourt said he didn't know there was any children in the building until after the breach. despite 911 calls from children inside of the room. bet ancourt said he was relying on information from ruben alasko, that the gunman was a barricaded subject and no longer an active shooter and that a better s.w.a.t. team was on the way. he admits never spoke to school place police chief pete

arredondo who was named the on scene commander. after another corroborating it are the clearest evidence that questions are being raised internally at the department of public safety about the actions of its officers. his orders over the radio contradict the official narrative that the state police were never in command of the scene. and never issued substantive orders. when questioned about cnn in september, dps director colonel steve mccraw confirmed the investigation into bet ancourt and promised to resign if his agency was shown to have culpability for the botched response. >> there was body cam, footage of him in the hallway telling people not to breach that door. you have heard that? >> i've heard a lot of things. >> and is there any credibility to that. >> i don't know if there is or not. that is one of the reasons that we're doing the investigation. >> i know. >> and we're going to be

thorough. >> i don't want to do this. >> i'll be the first to resign, okay, i'll gladly resign and tender my resignation to the governor if i think there is any culpability with the department of public safety, period. but we're going to hold our officers accountable. no one gets a pass. but every officer is going to be held accountable. >> but you are looking at this captain bettancourt that he may have told officers into the to go into the hallway. >> yes. absolutely. >> reporter: and there are people calling for the investigation of steve mccraw, the head of the texas department of public safety. and you heard him tell me, he said he would resign and leave the department of public safety if he was found -- if it was found that any of his officers, any of his agents were culpable. we have not gotten a response from the texas department of public safety to our story. but we are expected to hear from the head of that agency steve mccraw next week, thursday at a public safety commission hearing where on the agenda, they say, is uvalde. they say that he is expected to

address uvalde at that hearing. perhaps, bianna, we will get an update on the investigation. >> thank you so much for your reporting, shimon, reporting failure upon failure, upon failure, thinking about all of the families that have to suffer through it. well we turn now to mortgage rates which are on the rise. making it hard tore buy a house today. that just -- than just a couple of months ago. that is straight ahead. ♪ can you hear me calliling ♪ ♪ out youour name? ♪ ♪ you know that i've falling ♪ ♪ and i don't't know what to say ♪ ♪ oh, i ♪ dude ♪ i want to be with you everywhere. ♪ from bolt to blazer, equinox to silverado, chevy evs are for everyone, everywhere. it's the subway series menu. 12 irresistible subs.

bannon was convicted this year on two counts after refusing to testify before the january 6 select committee. the judge saying that bannon is subject to a sentence of at least one month. we'll bring you the latest when we get it. also right now, twitter stock price is taking a hit as tesla ceo elon musk's takeover draws closer. let's get right to matt egan. we have some more back and forth between elon musk suggesting what he may or may not do once this deal is closed. what are we hearing? >> this is one of the most fascinating corporate mergers we've ever seen. you know there is going to be an hbo special drama on this in a few years and it probably won't live up to the reality. the latest twist, bloomberg news is reporting that biden is discussing when the u.s. should subject elon musk to national security reviews, including this twitter deal. ploomberg said officials are grown uncomfortable with musk's

russia-friendly stance. twitter shares plunged on this news. they have since paired back some of the losses. down only about 4%. and we asked the white house and they're pushing back. national security spokesperson said they don't know of any such conversations over a national security review here. and this is a big deal because this takeover is supposed to close in about a week. and the only way it falls through is if one, the financing falls through which is unlikely, or two if regulators block it. so we have to watch this closely. meanwhile, if this deal does get through, musk has signaled deep job cuts and musk has told investors he planned to get rid of 75% of the twitter work force. that would leave it with a skeleton staff of around 2,000 people. the post is citing corporate documents and people family with the company deliberations. we haven't heard from twitter or musk on this. but musk has conceded that he overpaid for twitter. $44 billion and it is not going to be easy to make this into a

money-making machine, they're probably going to have to cut costs. >> has he hinted at costs that are this deep. >> he has hinted in text messages that came out through court documents of deep job cuts. we don't know how deep. but this post report suggests that they could be very deep. >> we'll continue to cover both stories. thank you. well home borrowing costs have now skyrocketed to a 20-year high in the u.s. as mort rates creep closer to 7% amid the federal reserve's unprecedented campaign to tamp down inflation. cnn's rahel solomon has the details. >> reporter: mortgage rates are more than double than at the start of the year when it was closer to 3%. buying the same home today costs more than just a few months ago. for example, if a bought a $390,000 home today and put 20% down, that is same home cost an additional $700 more every month. and that is causing buyers to

sit out this market. new data this week shows that sales of existing homes in september fell nearly 24% compared to last year. and are down 1.5% compared to the previous month. so why are mortgage rates rising so much? well like many things in this chi, the answer lies with the fed as they try to cool inflation by slowing spending, it is raising the key interest rate and that impacts borrowing for us consumers including mortgage rates and in the housing market we're seeing slowdown in spending. existing sales have fallen for eight months in a row. but what about home prices. prices have yet to slow. prices are still on average higher than they were a year ago. although slowing on a month to month basis. so what is a buyer to do in this market? i talked to dotty herman with douglas hellerman who said if you still afford to buy, you

might negotiate with the seller. but the key words being if you could afford to buy. >> thank you. after four years on the ground, president trump's private boeing 757 is ready for takeoff. what that could indicate about his plans for 2024, up next. t d. as soon as we brought the farmer's dog in, her skin was better, she was more active. if i can invest in her health and be proactive, i think it's worth it. visit betterforthem.com ♪ age befofore beauty? why not both? visibly diminish wrinkled skin just two days. new crepe corrector lotion only from gold bond. champion your skin. avoiding triggers but can't keep migines away? qupta® can help prevent migraines. you can't always prevent what's going on outside... that's why qulipta® helps what's going on inside. qulipta® gets right to work. in a 3-month study, qulipta® significantly reduced monthly migraine days

well trump force one is once again ready for takeoff. the plane that was a regular back drop of his campaign rallies is now back in west palm beach. cnn white house correspondent kate bennett has more details. so bring us up to speed on this jet's journey. >> well, when last we saw it, it was shranked engine, sitting on a tarmac at an airport in new york. this was in march. about 2021. and it didn't lookic it was flyable and it wasn't at the time. however, in the last year it has been at a airport, a small airport in louisiana, we found out. and it has been going under refurbishness, repairs have been made, a new paint job was done in july, the summer and then recently my colleagues on the aviation team and i noticed that there were some movements happening above the airport in louisiana but this plane via the tail number. and it was doing some loops and clearly testing out some new parts and on wednesday it arrived in palm beach back at

its home base. we reached out to the donald trump's team to ask what the plane is doing there, how they intend to use it, when is it going to be unveiled with the new paint job which includes a new american flag on the tail, not a big t for trump which was there before. we did not get a response. but where this plane goes is typically where donald trump used to go in terms of campaigning, and big announcements. so we'll just have to see. but it is air-worthy again and what it signals, we could wait until november to find out. >> i believe it was la guardia where it was parked for a while there. now, kate, i know we have yet to see what this really means. but does this perhaps suggest that we could see the former president on the campaign trail sooner than we thought? >> well, we've learned that the plane is going to be in the air and used by the former president sooner rather than later. so i think we can expect to see him. if he does more campaigns for

some of the midterm candidates, yes, i believe he'll bring the plane and as we know it is that back drop that he used, his supporters love it as a symbol of wealth and power and keep your eye out. it is going to be flying again. >> yeah, the plane, the helicopter, making for really interesting back drops that you said supporters really did love. kate bennett, thank you. have a great weekend. >> thank you. and thank you all for joining us today. i'm bianna golodryga. at this hour with kate bolduan starts in moment as we wait for a judge to hand down a sentence for former trump adviser steve bannon. ♪ ♪ luxury exemplified. innovation electrified.. with apple music seamlessly integrated. the all-new, all-electric eqs suv from m mercedes-benz.
