absence. the court does usually give an explanation for a justices absence. and we've also seen justices take part in arguments remotely when they are sick and the context here is not just the lack of transparency, but that it also comes just one week before the supreme court hears oral arguments on whether or not donald trump is protected from criminal prosecutions because a presidential immunity because he was president when the acts were committed. a case critics of thomas argue he should recuse himself from because of his wife's jeannie's efforts to help trump's team overturn the 2020 election thomas is 75 years the most senior associate justice on the supreme court. he missed several arguments in 2022 with an infection and tonight the supreme court is not responding to our requests for additional information about thomas's leave of absence today leaving many important questions unanswered. thanks for joining us, the lead starts now welcome to the lead. i'm >> jake tapper in this our critical meeting at the capitol as house speaker mike johnson is weighing his next move in

the wake of the weekend attack from iran. will speaker johnson isolate support for israel for an aid package without attaching new aid for ukraine. that's what hardline can serve. it want him to do. what will he do? plus hours away from what could be one of the biggest moments for professional women's basketball and superstar standout, caitlin clark and leading this, our donald trump's motorcade on the move after a whirlwind of developments as the first day of the new york hush money cover-up case comes to a close, at least 50 jurors interview today, which is more than half, were already excused. they said they could not be fair and impartial. >> the >> judge ruled that the access hollywood tape cannot be played when an arguments begin, he did allow future testimony from karen mcdougal, a former playboy model, play playboys 1998 playmate of the month, who says she had a ten month affair with donald trump, which he denies all this in the case where prosecutors claim mr. trump falsified business this records to cover up. hush money payments to adult film star and

actress and director stormy daniels to keep it away from voters right before the 2016 election. let's discuss now with p2, people who know key players in this case, stacy schneider is a manhattan criminal defense attorney and a former contestant on trump's tv show, the apprentice. she has also worked with manhattan district attorney alvin bragg's office and appeared before judge juan merchan. and barbara raz is a former engineer for trump construction projects and author of the book, tower of lies. what my 18 years of working with donald trump reveals about him barbara, let's start with you. what do you think donald trump's mindset is right now as he sits in court for his very first criminal trial as a former president yeah, >> can someone asking me a question? >> yeah. barbara, can you not hear me >> all right. can you let's go to see anything. okay. let's go to stacy. stacy, you have worked with both trump and judge merchan. trump has already recently called the

judge crooked. how do you expect this will all play out in the coming weeks as those to sit in the same courtroom >> i think judge marie, sean and thank you for having me, jake. i think judge marie sean it has complete control of his courtroom he is known to have control of his courtroom and a very interesting thing about him is that on the wednesdays when this case will not be heard, that's the one day they have a break judge, mug shot and actually runs the mental health felony part of manhattan courthouse so if there's any judge that's used to an outburst in court who can handle that perfectly with that would be judged mug shots. so i think trump is going to control himself a lot more than he did in his civil trial. in the other courthouses where he showed up in manhattan what do you see stacy as donald trump's best defenses and biggest weaknesses in this specific case.

>> okay. well, the da is really engaging in a novel prosecution here. they've charged him with the felony version of falsifying business records as a misdemeanor. it's easy to prove all you have to do is put false information in the cords a new yor enterprise. this case goes a step further. in that the allegations of the payoffs to stormy daniels, with whom trump is alleged to have had this affair. the adult film star the da's office saying this is an additional crime because those payoffs and the cover-up of the payoffs in his bins records were used to influence both th state and federal election. that's election interference. >> so this is almost like a >> dual crime prosecution within one charge. so trump's best defense, i think is saying lebrit i was before i became pdent. and if another woman had come forward or anoth person came forward

the co of doing business. i would have paid this person to go away yw in order for the 's office to prov intent, d this is that's the problem with the da's case, is actually proving trump's intent they have to show that trump intended to interfere with the they claim that they have phone calls of conversations between michael collins, trump's attorney, who allegedly made these payoffs or who pled guilty, actually, not allegedly, but pled guilty to making the payoffs to stormy daniels and trump planning this out. >> so both sides have weaknesses and both sides have strengths. do you think >> stacy, it's going to be difficult for donald trump to get an impartial jury in manhattan where voters are overwhelmingly democratic, capital d and voted for joe biden i wouldn't use the word difficult, but i would use the word painstaking and lengthy. i

think after today, this jury selection process has already shown us with half of the panel dismissed. there are 100 jurors who get brought into the courtroom at large. and who run through the juror questionnaire panel and they get picked out sort of for certain reasons, like they can't serve, they're not available to serve. they don't want to serve they're biased there are going to be a lot of people in manhattan by nature. this is not approach from city who are going to be against trump, but in any case, on any issue that comes up in court, whether it's drug use, there will always going to be people with an opinion and they will find enough jurors to serve. they need 12 and say six alternates. they will find enough people to come to court, listen to the evidence, put any biases or feelings they have aside, and give a fair verdict. so it just takes time all

right. >> barbara, i'm told that we have your audio and video back. sorry about that. so let me ask you, barbara trump is essentially being accused of trying to cover up hush money payments the silence, an extra marital girlfriend about an alleged affair. when you work with trump, did you ever see any indication that he would be involved in any sort of cover up or paying somebody to be quiet what to the sent that used to go out with mala maples and always had a beard. there >> that was just his own personal thing. and yeah, always deal with the ban >> frankly, i >> think that he's covering it covers the south he would love not i felt it enough rural luck to say, i'm going out with this point. i was stuff, but intentionally, he knew that that could hurt him and that was the reason for the payments and there's no other reason to the payment some said something about his wife would be yeah

>> i don't pull reports, barbara, the reporters in the room say that trump turned around and smirked at potential jurors as he was introduced as the defendant. do you think that's part of an attempt to charm them? what do you think that's about? >> i think it's his way of showing how confident he is toughy is. his persona and each carrying it through it's going to carry this suits the trial. >> all right. barbara resin, stacey >> thanks. thanks to both you joining me now to discuss former trump attorney jim trusty. he left the trial trump legal team after the former president was indicted in the classified documents case, jim, thanks so much for being here. so you worked for donald trump. what do you think he's saying to his lawyers right now after this first day of trial, the rulings seemed to go someone his way somewhat the other way. >> yeah. look, i think the biggest conversation is about about the process of jury selection. it is a challenge in today's world where the jurors want, unlike history, a lot of

them want to get on a jury like this. they want to have that opportunity to be a celebrity juror at some point to go on tv and announce all the things that are supposedly secret by way of deliberations. and i think that makes a real challenge for trump's attorneys to try to fair it out. which ones are sleepers, which ones are guiding their answers to the court's questions in a way where they say, well, i know. i voted democratic for the last 52 years, but i think i could be fair there's a very easy task to shade your qualifying answers in a way where you might get selected or at least you cut into the number of strikes that president trump's team has to get rid of jurors without cause. so i think the challenge is to really keep an eye on whether the judge tries to rehabilitate jurors that might be unfair to president trump, or whether he's very quick to dismiss them as long as they say something about being biased and that's not fun watching jury selection. but that's the challenge for the next few days is to figure out what's the mode of

interrogation, what's the mode of disqualification that's taking place? >> key appears to have been on pretty good behavior today, keeping quiet when he needed to keep quiet, answering the judge in fact, maggie haberman says she was in the courtroom. she says he even appear to nod off. at one point, which may be many of our viewers can find relatable if you've ever been to court >> but do you think his attorney he's are worried that he will ultimately get in his own way by acting out in court as he did, for instance, during the e jean carroll case? yeah. i don't i don't think so. i mean, i don't have any inside scoop there in terms of talking to the attorneys, but yeah. >> look, this >> is even in new york, even if the judge has some still it to president trump, which the gag order would suggest he does this is a tribal case. i mean, any litigator is champing at the bit at the notion of cross-examining michael cohen. i think the strategy, if your president trump's lawyers yeah, there's a whole bunch of legal novelty which i would call frailty to this case. but at the end of the de you want to make it about michael cohen.

and if you can make it about a convicted perjurer, about a failed cooperator and say, folks, would you even buy a car from this guy much less base your verdict on this man's word that could be something that at least gets a hung jury, which would be a victory here. >> so first, let's talk about michael calling. let's talk about the hung jury strategy. sure. we had lanny davis here. he used to be michael cohen's attorney and his basic argument was, this is an attorney for michael cohen, former that yes. michael cohen perjured himself before congress, but he did so at the direction of donald trump. and that's going to be what michael cohen says, yes, i lied, but i did so because donald trump told me too, because i worked with him. but now now the truth is setting me free that will be easy. you think for the defense department? oh, calls him. >> yeah. i think that's kind of the full mu fool me twice comment like, which time are we supposed to believe mike want again, he's got a longer track record of saying things

contradicting himself over time when it comes to president trump. so look he's, he wasn't a great lawyer to pick. you can always go back and say what? you're the one that picked them, president trump, i get that. but he's going to collapse of his own weight and a lot of ways. i mean, he's lied to congress. he is a failed cooperator, southern district of new york, which is not shy to take cases, walked away not only from this case, but from him directly saying we're not going to give many credit for cooperation. he's too slippery. to dishonest so that again, that's the focus you have to make it on as a trial lawyer for president trump is it's all about this guys credibility. you can't take it to the bank and blaming blaming the victim of his dishonesty probably won't. so jim trusty, >> thanks so much. appreciate it. will have you back to talk more as this case continues, donald trump's motorcade as expected, to pull up at trump tower any moment trump is railing about the legal system being rigged against him, is the legal system actually kinder to him, however, then it might be two the average american we're going to talk to somebody who believes that that's next okay.

giving a supportive best to fans for months up until this morning, former president trump has been lashing out at the judge and prosecutors and potential witnesses in the new york criminal trial. so the judge put him under a gag order, banning him for making public statements about many of the people connected with the case. and also from attacking the judge's family man members as trump has. mr. trump is still allowed to talk about manhattan district attorney alvin bragg and new york judge juan roshan, which he did over the weekend i have a crooked. judge, a highly conflicted and corrupt judge. you suffers from tds, trump derangement syndrome there's no evidence that the judge has any anti-trump feelings or biases or tds. james remote, sir, the legal editor for politico joins me now and james, you're out with a new story. you say, quote, how donald trump gets special treatment in the legal system

that's what it's titled. and you write in a quote, trump is unmatched in a two-tiered system of justice. he often says, and he's right, there are two tiers. but trump frequently has been the beneficiary, not the victim, unquote. so mr. trump constantly claims to be a victim of an unjust system. you write it's quite the opposite. explain well, i think there are many examples of how donald trump in his odyssey through the criminal justice system over the last year is being treated differently >> and more favorably than almost any other criminal defendant standing in those same shoes there are a number of examples of this, and i think the principal example is some of the comments that you just mentioned, jake the way that trump has relentlessly attacked almost everyone involved in all these cases. he's denigrated the prosecutors, the judges, judges, family members, witnesses against him and he is under some gag orders in these cases, and he certainly toes right up to the line of those gag orders and sometimes violates those guy goiters. but even aside from the gags, in

all of his criminal cases, trump is under strict pretrial conditions. since he has to abide by certain rules and those rules preclude him from doing things like attacking potential witnesses against him, but he has done that. he's just this weekend. he attacked michael cohen, the star witness, and the prosecution's case in the new york trial and what i've had criminal defense attorneys tell me is if that any of their clients were to make those sorts of comments while they're on pretrial release, they'd be thrown in jail pretty quickly. >> what stood out to you today in terms of the thesis of your, of your article in terms of the two tiered system and i agree with you by the way, there is a two-tiered system and it's and it's poor people who can't afford good legal representation and who often get shoe horned into, into prosecutions. and we've covered that a number of times on this show, but today did you see any examples of this >> i thought it was incredibly

ironic that much of the morning session today on the first day of the trial was about trump's comments over the weekend. and in fact, the prosecutors were asking the judge to hold trump in contempt for basically violating those rules that i just talked about over the last as few days and attacking michael cohen. and then just an hour after that whole discussion happened in open court during the very lunch break in the trial, trump went on truth social, and he posted a video of one of his allies attacking michael cohen and attacking the judge's wife. after the judge issued a gag order explicitly prohibiting trump from attacking family members, including family members of the judge. and i think what you'll hear from lawyers is that if any other defendant words relentlessly attack the judge's own family that would not be stood for. there would be no leeway for that. the pretrial conditions would be revoked. the person would be thrown in jail, fines

banned from social media like roger stone was banned from social media when he was attacking his judge in his case. instead, what happened today is that the trump set a hearing from a weekend from a week from now to consider the prosecutor's request to hold them in contempt. >> so just the lead of your story is really interesting. a firebrand politician named donald is about to stand trial. just a few days before jury selection. he goes on tv to slam the charges as baseless and biased. he attacks the fbi and the justice department, but this is not donald trump. it's a man named don hill, a former dallas city council member facing bribery charges. what's the difference? how and how those two words were treated >> well, yes. so it's interesting, i came across that anecdote of my research and i found this analogy of sort of relatively high-profile politician, defendant, at least high-profile in his own community. and when he was on trial, he made a series of comments claiming that he was the victim of a politically biased prosecution. justice

trump always does. and if this guy's comments are quite tame compared to what trump what we've become used to from donald trump. and in that case one single comment claiming a politically biased prosecution got that paolo petition slapped with a contempt order, slapped with a gag order, and send us two 30 days in jail. and so i just the differential treatment was striking to me and there may be very good reasons to treat donald trump differently. in some ways. he's a former president he's a presidential candidate he has a first amendment right to criticize the cases against him. of course, an american perkins want to hear him criticizing the cases against him. and so i'm not necessarily making a value judgment about exactly how trump should be treated or say that any of these judges and the chrome in jail willy-nilly but i think it's worth pointing out that trump's claims about the two tiered system are somewhat

ironic because he is treated differently from other defendants in many ways james moser from politico. thanks so much. appreciate it really interesting story. how will israel respond after iran's unprecedented attacked over the weekend, what we're learning about israel's latest war cabinet meeting next i was born with wings but psoriasis swooped into clip them. it crushed my confidence. google psoriasis get a piece of me. >> i can love my skin again with bins, only been zell ics targets and blocks is 17 plus f to calm and how can control my plaques and start getting myself back in xilinx helps adults with moderate to severe psoriasis control plaques to deliver clearer skin fast for results well, it's the last i will give myself back the freedom of shorts standard where black again, from head to toe >> most people got 100% clear skin, saw him after the first dose serious side effects including suicidal thoughts and

fact that there has been no public announcement yet over for any decision to counter attack >> just out >> well, jake, it's very interesting because yesterday when the war cabinet met for nearly five hours, we were quitting likely told that there had been no decision made today after nearly three hours of meetings, israeli officials have been quiet about whether or not a decision was made. what i was it's told though by one israeli official is that the sense coming out of this war cabinet meeting was that a swift response to this iranian strike was generally the consensus and that has really been one of the key points of debate within the war cabinet. is not only the scale of this response, how big to go, how measured this response should be. but also the timing of it, how quickly israel should respond. but one thing is clear is that they are in agreement that a response as necessary, i spoke with the former ced of israeli military intelligence today, that who said that israel needs to reestablish deterrence does not want that

to be a part of the tool. in the toolkit in a future operation of friction we do not want to create some kind of routine. something need to be done in order to re-establish the deterrence against iran and so jake, now the question just comes down to timing. how quickly will the israeli military carry out the next steps today, the israeli military's chief of staff, general herzi halevi, saying only that israel will indeed response to iranian jake jeremy, you also have some new reporting about hamas significantly decreasing the number of hostages. it says that they're willing to release what's that? >> yeah that's right. jake, hamas has actually slashed by more than half the number of hostages that it would be willing to release over the course of six weeks. this is according to an israeli source, close to the negotiations, who i just spoke with, they said that while the basis of these

negotiations has been 40 hostages released over the course of six weeks. this has been the basis of negotiations for months now and now, hamas is saying that it will only release fewer than 20 hostages over the course of six six weeks. i even got comment from boston nyima hamas spokesman who told me that hamas had proposed releasing three captured israelis each week, but he said that no one is talking about final numbers. i'm also told that hamas is demanding more palestinian prisoners be released in exchange for fewer israeli hostages. they're also so asking for more palestinian prisoners who are serving heavy sentences in israeli prisons. and the israeli source who i spoke with said that they believed that hamas is, does not want a deal that is their belief as they see this, the talk because effectively backsliding with this demand and of course beyond this issue of palestinian prisoners, there is also the issue of the withdrawal of israeli troops, a total end to the war. those are some of the other hamas demands

that they are making right now. that is really officials simply are not going to go for jake. all right. jeremy diamond and israel for us. thanks so much joining us now to discuss former us defense secretary under president obama and former cia chief leon panetta. secretary. thanks so much for joining us, your fellow former cia director, retired general david petraeus told me yesterday that israel is going to have to take some action and respond to iran. but he added as a whole menu from which to choose what would you advise the israeli government to do? right now to respond to the iranian attack, if anything >> well, jake, look, there's there's no question. this was historic and unprecedented attack but 300 drones and cruise missiles and icbms is an unprecedented attack. but it's also an historic failure the reality is 99% of those weapons failed and israel i think came

out of winter after that attack. so my approach would be, according to the old saying that revenge is a dish that's best served cold and while i understand the need to reestablish deterrence i really think that israel has to think long and hard about what approach should they should take. they have a chance to establish an unprecedented alliance in that part of the world, united states, great britain, france saudi arabia, jordan, uae. that could be one hell of a coalition to confront not only iran, but also a terrorism in that part of the world. so i would just be very careful about what targets you go after. >> do you think refraining will ultimately make iran less likely if i mean, if israel does not respond the thinking

by many in israel and the middle east in general is that you have to respond or else you do not achieve deterrence. many people think that israel's response to hamas in gaza is based in rooted quite a bit in deterrence and making sure hezbollah in iran understand what will happen if they ever do anything like what hamas did october 7 you think, and actually could be stronger for israel in the long run if they don't respond. and instead try to forge more of a regional alliance with saudi arabia, the uae et cetera >> i think they've got an unprecedented opportunity here to really build a very strong coalition that they're going to need in the middle east. not only to confront iran and terrorism but they're going to need that coalition >> when >> when gaza comes to an end and they have to determine what the next chapter is look, i understand the mindset in the

middle east. it's always for tat you can't let the other guy get away with anything. otherwise you're undermining deterrence. i understand that mindset but what i'm saying is israel has to recognize what they've been able to, to, to achieve here their country was strongly defended by a strong coalition that brought down every missile that was aimed at them. that's when precedented and i think you want to build on that. you want to build on that coalition. you want to build on that strength. to think carefully about what the next step should be. look, there are some tier-1 targets. they could go after that would clearly escalate the war in the middle east there's also some tear to target whether it's cyber, whether it's going after proxies like hezbollah and others but there's also the possibility of bringing gut the

gaza war to an end. and beginning to build some kind of stabilized palestinian control in gaza that would be a major step forward for israel and for that region. so there's a lot of different approaches here that could be taken that i think could strengthen israel's hand rather than we can. >> i also want to get your take on what jeremy diamond just reported a source telling cnn that hamas is slashing the number of hostages. it says it's willing to release by half from 40 to 20 in this first round, hamas is asking for even more palestinian prisoners in exchange, how significant of a backslide is this you think? >> i think i think it is a significant backslid and it only confirms in my mind the worst, which is that many of the hostages that we think they have probably are are dead for all we know and this kind of

backsliding on hostages clearly is going to undercut any chance for a viable ceasefire it's it just tells us more and more that ultimately israel is going to have to decide how to continue to target hamas leadership how to continue to try to make sure that hamas never a given attacks israel and how in the end we can try to find a way to better stabilize that part of the world. i think this could be a great opportunity. israel just had a great coalition come to their defense you don't want to blow that secretary panetta, always good to see you, sir. thank you so much, president biden today again called on congress to pass funding for israel and ukraine. the senate did so more than two months ago, but a group of hardline conservatives in house do not

eastern on cnn >> back with our politics lead a bipartisan group of lawmakers are imploring house speaker mike johnson to immediately take up that national security bill passed by the senate two months ago that included aid for both ukraine and israel. cnn's manu raju she was on capitol hill and bondo republicans are in a conference meeting right now to discuss this. and you just pulled an important, significant congresswoman aside, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene from georgia. what did she have to tell you >> yeah, there's a lot of anticipation for this moment right now because we expect mike johnson to actually make a decision making get announcement about how he will proceed on foreign aid stalled foreign aid. you mentioned the senate bill that passed two months ago, including $95 billion for atu brain israel and taiwan. mike johnson has not moved on that package because it does not include border security measures even as republicans in the house and the senate scuttle, they'd bible parson border security plan in the senate nevertheless, because it does

not have border security measures that bill has stalled now, johnson has been moving behind the scenes for the past several weeks. you've tried a couple for the new proposal to try to gain more support among republicans on the issue of ukraine. it is still a major question, right now, exactly what approach you're johnson will take whether he would tie ukraine aid to israel aid at this, particularly in the aftermath of the iranian attacks that happened over the weekend. now, on top of all that, you mentioned, marjorie taylor greene in she has raised the specter that she could call for a vote seeking mike johnson's ouster. she has said that for some time, she only one member of the house can do that and she has threatened to do so. she might go that far if he moves forward with ukraine, he is dead set against any more us dollars going to help ukraine in its war against russia. and i asked her, will you will that be enough for you to pull the trigger and move ahead with this call for mike johnson's ouster. she would not go that far exceeds that she said she wants to hear what might he johnson said and johnson, of course, went to mar-a-lago on friday to get

donald trump trump's support to ally themselves with trump. trump said that he stands by the speaker and raised concerns current about the efforts to push out johnson. i asked green whether or not trump's comments chains johnson's her approach towards mike johnson in any way, she indicated it does not. she said that perhaps there could be more support to oust johnson if he moves ahead with aid to ukraine. so jake, this is a critical moment, not just for the future of ukraine, but aid israel, aid to taiwan. and mike johnson's speakership. how does he hang on here amid for the push from the far right of the house republican conference. we do expect johnson to address pressed in about an hour to talk about his path forward here. and so jake, he told reporters going in, he's ready to make a play call, and republicans are in this meeting waiting for him to hear what that call is. >> yeah. and marjorie taylor greene threatening his speakership monitor. thanks so much. >> this debate over us funding >> goes well beyond just house republicans. how might this all, and we'll try to game it out here next.

imprint.com in brent for certain. cnn this morning with kasie hunt tomorrow at five easter >> and we're back with our politics lead a deeply divided congress is weighing how to pass more aid for israel following juran's large-scale

attack against the us ally, tensions in the middle east are already so fraud amid the israel-hamas war. so having president biden keep it from getting worse while also running for reelection, my political panels here to discuss. and now you're i understand president biden's desire to avoid a wider conflict in the middle east. nobody wants armageddon, nobody wants world war three. well, maybe some people do, but nobody the administration >> do you think >> telling prime minister net tenth and yahoo that the us is not going to participate in any offensive action against iran is the right move. >> it's also the message that he's given ukraine, right? in terms of being an ally in this moment where countries are under attack, where democracy is under threat. but and those beacons of democracy under threat, president biden's made it very clear he will work in coalition. he will surprise arms and armaments, but he will not allow us boots on the ground to engage. i draw this parallel because this aid package is about ukraine and israel. and that question has been brought up by republicans in congress what does it mean

to defend israel was it mean to defend ukraine and i would say that the biden administration is drawing a boundary between the longstanding ally of israel and the more newer protection of democracy. after a russian invasion. and to be clear, the united states has always stood by israel when israel has come under attack the entire iron dome system, all of these systems that allow israel to survive this weekend are because of the united states support. >> one of the big moves going on right now is speaker johnson is trying to decide how to deal with this push to their are those in his car? conference that don't want any foreign aid going out e door at all rjorie taylor greene, for separate the israel aid from the ukraine d. so people can vote just on thesrael aid already happen twi. shit's voted ainst it, byhe way hetweet,ut there are tse who y, no, we need to fund

both othem. let's get of tm out the do. what do you thk should happen? needs to move forward with funding and providing a to both countries, jake the last thing we want is for the iranian government to move move with uranium program there at 60% currently, i was talking to colonel cedric leighton earlier today about that and he was telling me it's only within a couple more months that they can potentially be at close to 90%. we don't want that possibility for israel i also think with ukraine we certainly cannot allow genocide on our watch. i mean, bill clinton, you remember the african issue he came late years later. guys were wanda for not taking action. i don't think that will be good for the republican party to appear to not support our allies during their time of need. we know that there is a reduction in democracies around the globe right now. so i would argue and republicans may disagree with me, but we have to stand firm. we're protecting the democracies that remain and they're going to need our help and leadership to do so.

>> after nine 11, this idea that if we are able to as a country stop threats overseas, we can protect ourselves here at home is a very potent idea that is a message that president and allied republicans can lean into. this is all about deterring the challenges. and we keeping them overseas. so the divisions in the republican party one thing there's alsoivisns inhe democratic party for instance, i want y ttake a listen to what democratic senator john fetrman of pennsylvania told me yesterday. he has been basic.e basically suggesting that he thinks prident den is tooobbly on israel. take a lien i think it really demonstrates how it's nishing that we are not standing firmly with israel and there should never be any kinds of conditions. all of that when a nation can launch hundreds of drones towards israel. and i'm not going to be talking about conditions ever in president biden has suggested and other democrats ouight saying there

needs to be conditions attached to any >> future military aid for israel. >> you know, i think that this is a very difficult line that biden has to walk because he's going to alienate people on his sayyed either way for on the far left that are saying, and in places like michigan are saying, they will not turn out if they feel like biden has not stood up enough for the palestinians and gaza and stood up against what is happening. but then another places like pennsylvania, he's going to face that pushback that he is not supportive enough of israel. he has tried get to walk this line. i don't know how successful way he has been. and at the same time, he has had israel, even that attack on the consulate that led to this iranian attack. i mean, you've had these difficulties where you can see that the us is saying israel, can you pull back, can you do this? can you do something differently? and they're not necessarily getting that support from that allies. so i think that it's a relationship that they've had

some difficulties with. all right. thanks to all of you. appreciate it coming up next. so dramatic video, unveiling, a maddening act of vandalism at lake mead. stay with us >> as kids. they told us to follow our dreams. >> i want to make candle >> a minute. we started chasing him lay told us we were being unrealistic told us. to think about our future said it was too late for us. and passions don't pay bills but what they didn't know is that dreamers make their own victory introducing finish ultimate engineered for the toughest can >> drive burnt on stains,
