9:00 pm
but our city needs to do what's necessary to save lives. please vote yes on prop f.
9:01 pm
tonight on three 60. what the vote this evening expected on impeachment of where the border crisis, house republican lawmakers step up their campaign against proposed senate legislation -- oso republicans debating whether to shelve it entirely. we're keeping them honest. also, the former presidents 50 million dollar legal built last year, you might be surprised he's picking up that. tab and later, everything we're learning about israel during rate using special forces disguised as medical staff and other civilians designed, they say, to kill palestinians civilians at a west bank hospital. tonight, we broken with breaking news -- and even more so tonight, the widest gap between what certain elliott fish are saying about it and what their extra.
9:02 pm
doing the issue is immigration border security. we just learned, senate republican leaders are tonight debating without a shelter for most bipartisan legislation to actually address the problem. a deal now on the roads which is set to be the most restrictive set of border policies in decades. -- the very same ones saying things like this. >> border security is the most fundamental responsibility of the nation and house republicans are serving as that last line of defense to secure our border. >> that's congresswoman elise stefanik today, a member of the republican leadership, and from what she said there you would think she -- is pushing to get this passed. instead, her remarks kimmitt republican leadership press conference in support of and paging this person, dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas. we'll have more on that in a moment. but wherever you stand on impeaching secretary mayorkas,
9:03 pm
dhs secretary's come and go. working to fix or change the lowest in first requires congress to negotiate and pass legislation. that's what senators have been working on. now house republicans are choosing to kill, purely for political reasons. and cynical ones as that. as we just learned, veer senate counterparts now talking about getting in on the act. this is an issue they themselves have been describing this way. >> we saw this with our own to. as we talk to people on the grant. we have an unmitigated crisis. >> that's how speaker mike johnson, today, moments after point equity holidays a shortcoming as a bipartisan senate compromise which he hasn't seen but as opposing anyway. >> it seems that new authority to shut down the border would kick and only after as many as 5000 illegal crossings have -- happening today. why would we do? that illegal immigration is illegal. it is against the law. >> he hasn't seen the sin deal,
9:04 pm
and keep him honest, if that is part of the compromise it seems to be news to the conservative republican senator who helped craft. it >> it would be absolutely absurd for me to agree to 5000 people a day. this bill focuses on getting us to a zero illegal crossings a day. >> keep in mind, senator lankford there is one of the most conservative republicans and the chamber. but most reporting -- the now endangered compromise legislation includes numerous concessions to that republican side. on top of that, as you may know, president biden recently reached out to close the border, given legislation permitting it -- speaker johnson tweeted president biden falsely claimed he need congress to close the southern border, but he knows that as untrue. keeping him honest, that appears to be untrue. for all of his top at a time of crisis, all the extreme edges he took one office, former president trump never managed
9:05 pm
to shut down the border, except during covid under the authority he had for dealing with public health emergencies. these days he's openly against the senate deal and saying so outlet. >> that leader of our party, there is zero chance i will support this horrible open borders betrayal of america. it is not going to happen. notice that, and i'll fight at all the way. >> he's against it, is we and many others have been reporting for several weeks now, because he does not want to give president biden any kind of election accomplishment. a number of republican senators have criticized, most notably mitt romney. >> i think the border is a very important issue for donald trump. and the fact he would communicate to republican senators and congress papal that he doesn't want us to solve the border problem, because he wants to blame biden for eight, is really appalling. >> a poland or not, according to senator romney and others,
9:06 pm
it is effect which makes it all the richer today to hear the house republican carrying out this would say this to cnn's manu raju. >> no, manu, that's absurd. we have a responsibility here to do our duty. our duty is to do right by the american people -- the first and most important job of the federal government is to protect its citizens. >> now we're learning tonight there might not be a partisan border security deal at all. gop senate leaders are reportedly preparing to ditch the whole thing. let's get the latest -- >> yeah, anderson, these negotiations have really reached a critical juncture. with this scene deal essentially on left support amid opposition from former president donald trump. we are told senate republicans are currently debating whether to just walk away from this deal and try to pass a stand-alone bill that provides aid for ukraine and israel. no decisions have been made.
9:07 pm
negotiators are still plan to release the ticks sometimes this week. but the challenge for this compromise, getting signed into law, are enormous. that might be insurmountable, in effect. house speaker mike johnson made crystal clear today in both a private meeting with dismembered and also in a subsequent press conference, that still has no pathway in the house. and now you have some probably consult pennies in little isn't even in. because president biden already has the authority to crackdown on the southern border. despite the fact it's republicans who are the ones who pushed for policy changes in exchange for ukraine aid. in fact, congressman troy, ticks republican very close to donald trump, told me congress doesn't need to do a dam thing to address the voter. he also said they should not do anything to help bonds poland. >> we are to effort stand for kyle on a patient that dhs secretary mayorkas? >> the homeland security committee has been meeting oday to consider these impeachment articles for 100 mayors.
9:08 pm
republicans say he's willfully mishandled the situation at that southern border. he's not enforce the laws on the books and he's lost the trust of the american people. democrats say republicans are just trying to score political points. if that really wanted to solve the crisis at that southern border, they could improve that deal republicans have made clear feel reject whenever it comes from the senate. this meeting has grown quite into. democrats have a number of procedural motions have been to dirrell or delight this meeting as long as possible. we are expecting those articles to pass out of committee late tonight. then it hit to the house floor. anderson, we should note. even if it passes the house, given the razor-thin majority, that's a big if -- it's going nowhere in the senate -- >> melanie simone, thank you. joining us now is dan goldman, who served on the house homeland security committee. congressman --
9:09 pm
[inaudible] >> anderson, let's mcnamara about it. if the senate republicans now ditch this bipartisan deal that they have reached with the president and with senate democrats, it is solely because donald trump has directed republicans not to give joe pavon a policy when in an election year because he wants to run on the chaos at the border. that is the only reason this has been to rio. it is because donald trump does not want republicans to solve our problems. he wants the problems to persist so that he can't use it for his election campaign. >> what is so cynical about this, and hypocritical, the arguments have been made about fentanyl pouring across the border. yes, most of it comes through illegal border crossings, but nevertheless, republicans our
9:10 pm
columbus and invasion. they have endless the focused on this, understandably so, and there is chaos at the border and all these border communities. but there does have to be legislation in order to actually improve the asylum process. doesn't? they're in order to make these hiring improvements, security improvements, and legal improvements. >> absolutely. that's an incredibly important point. now that republicans realize they look bad, trying to politicize this issue, and undermine a comprehensive bipartisan solution, they are moving to their next talking point, which is, oh, we don't need looking to do this. that certainly very different than everything they've been saying for this and our congress. and it's different than the reality on the ground. the executive branch, senator mayorkas, president biden, only have so many authorities and so much funding to secure our border. and we're facing and president migration patterns. they need more authority, they
9:11 pm
need more funding in order to address the asylum backlog. in order to address the fentanyl trade. in order to interdict what the mexican drug cartels. in order to do their job. and that funding can only come from congress. so it is false to say that president biden has that necessary authority to secure the border or address this situation at the border. it is required for legislation to pass, which is what the senate has been doing while the house has been trying to impeach the secretary of homeland security, who's working with the senate to address those problems. >> just to be clear, very former president has said only a perfect bill, there has to be a perfect bill, any kind of bill that ultimately will be
9:12 pm
negotiated will be just that, negotiated. there is nothing that's going to be -- that's how things get done. there is no such thing as a perfect bill. >> anderson, we are operating in divided government. the republican control the majority in the house. but democrats control the majority in the senate, and a democrat's and the white house. for house republicans to declare we will not budge at all on our to recruiting in extreme legislative proposal, completely floods and the face of car system of government, which requires bipartisan negotiations and the burlison compromise. we democrats are ready to do. it the president has shown a willingness to go further than any democrat ever has before. but it is not enough for that republicans because they want to use this as a political cudgel in this upcoming election. >> you mentioned the effort to
9:13 pm
impeach secretary mayorkas. i want to play you something you said at the hearing today. >> your own party's sabotaging and undermining this administration's effort to address the border, while you are trying to impeach him by saying that there are not threatening the boulder. the hypocrisy it is the least of it. >> you are attack on the rule of law, and our democracy, is the worst of it. and you better be careful about the bag you make. >> told about this as you say an attack on democracy. >> this is a gross abuse and misuse of the impeachment clause. there is no misdemeanor or crime, much less a high crime and misdemeanor, as it has ever been defined by the framers or any subsequent impeachment. they have fabricated out of whole cloth two articles of and
9:14 pm
page meant that have no basis in law, nor have the even try to substantiate the articles with any legal brief orientation. and instead, they are turning this political issue, oppose a dispute that's being hashed out in the senate, into grounds for the second ever impeachment of a cabinet secretary. they are undermining and basing the constitution and they need to be careful, anderson, because the president there are setting is that if a secretary of cabinet secretary, in any way to something that the opposing party in the house does not like, then that secretary will be impeached. it goes both ways, anderson. this is a new democratic party. we are not going to take this lying down. >> congressman dan goldman, thank you. still to come tonight, the cost of new legal work for the former president. breaking news that put $1 figure on how much donor money
9:15 pm
that's being used to pay his legal bills. oso tonight, his attorney in the e. jean carroll defamation case, already on the ropes. what she suddenly dropped a claim to appeal the 83 million dollar -- that's next.
9:16 pm
9:17 pm
9:18 pm
as we await new york times doesn't on how much the former
9:19 pm
president mayo in his new york civil fraud trial, that number that could come tomorrow -- breaking news tonight, it's about just how much donor money his packs have already spent on his legal bills. it's a huge figure. new york times reporter joins us now. how much money are we talking about? >> it's going to be official tomorrow on his filings with the federal election commission, but about $50 million last year is what donald trump spent on lorries and investigation for lighted cost. it's a staggering sum of money. he has four criminal indictments in 2023, not of which have control. you can expect that for chris only going to grow -- and this is a big deal. not just for the republican party right now, but in the commitments as he patiently post trump and try to raise money to compete with joe biden for the presidency he has another set of money he's spending pretty what, that on floors. >> worries that money coming from? >> most of that money has come
9:20 pm
from political action committee he raised money into in the aftermath of the election. he lost the election, he falsely claimed there was massive voter fraud, and he raise hundreds of millions of dollars in a few short wreaks pride after the election. he had a huge pocket of money he left the presidency. with and he's been slowly spending that money down, on his political activities before he declared for president, and now on his laurels. in fact, he gave a huge chunk of that money to a super pac. the plan was, when he runs for that money in 2024, that super pac would support him of advertising. not long later -- the right to the pack and say, can't you say that money back so we can spend it on lower instead? overtime, they have been sending more and more. back the original $60 million synthetic super pac, another 30 million was refined and back to his original political action committee he's using to pay for his lawyers.
9:21 pm
>> is it clear to people donating, that money will go to legal fees? >> it depends on the fine print your trading. if people go to donald trump's website, ten saints of every dollar goes to his pack. that path can support his campaign for president, but it is paying for his attorneys. when it turns to how much he raised in the fourth quarter, if you look at the website right now, it shows 10% to the political action committee, and that's what's funding the. lowers >> shane goldmacher, think -- you the attorney in the aging curl case, alina habba, who's been criticized for a pro performance, it's to quickly backpedal after measure clement peel that more than 83 million delivery award that appears to be false. new york post posted her a monday, alleging the judge and carroll's attorney knew each other very well from base applause for.
9:22 pm
so we'll hit mentor minty relationship. this is new to. us habba is quoted as saying. she repeated this unfair that claim in a moment of the court. carroll's attorney, roberta kaplan, far back in less than. saying, as ms. habba nose, these allegations are baseless. that, quote latest, say point have we ever had a mentor type relationship as alleged by ms. habba. hours later, habba responded the point of the letter was to, quote, verify whether the information contained in the new york post article is accurate. and she says she now considers a matter of. here's a talk about this -- type of johnson, investigative reporter and author of -- also former federal prosecutor jessica roth -- david, your reaction from what we heard from shane goldmacher about the former presidents approximately $50 million for a legal phase.
9:23 pm
would he be able to afford those bills weren't it for his pack? if he was an running for president? >> anderson, you've hit that nail right on the head. there remember, donald used to tell us he was worth ten billion dollars. pay should be rolling in money affects the case. evidently, he has to depend on begging for money from people. he just announced a little bit ago, by reuters, they have -- a man named bigelow who owns a bunch of hotels and aerospace companies given donald trump 1 million dollars to help with his legal bills. if he had ten billion, this wouldn't be a big deal. but if you don't have ten billion, you just claimed, it that's another story. >> jessica, i'm wondering your reaction to this alina habba blunder, going after e. jean carroll's attorney? >> it was a blunder and she was correct to withdraw the issue. it was not a conflict of interest. she should have done more investigation, frankly, of the fact about any relationship -- >> she put it in an actual
9:24 pm
immigrant, scenes kind of crazy -- >> it was sloppy and if they even had a mentor relationship, 30 years ago, that frankly would not have been the basis for a conflict of interest. it turns out, factually, they did not. she should have done factual investigation before raising it with the court. she should have done that legal investigation, which would have told her this did not raise a level of conflict of interest. frankly, it was a base issue. i'm glad to see roger capital push before shelley and that's for alina habba hips uncharacteristically was a bit chastened instead i'm not going to pursue it. >> david, does it surprise you the trump legal team was still trying to find a way to go after e. jean carroll's and the judge after the big award? >> no, it probably isn't the lost time they'll trolling. it's very clear, donald lowers do as instructed. not what the lore says they
9:25 pm
should do, not what i teach my students at syracuse lot to do, but what he wants done. there is going to be more, probably, all of this. if not for miss how button of lawrence and the future. donald, of course, thinks this is all legitimate. he's not accountable to anybody, certainly not a federal judge or jury, goodness. >> just a, catchers osha lumet damages in the new york civil fraud trial. we could learn about this tomorrow. we don't know if that heim -- time went will hold up -- >> the penalties or writing up. we know between the two e. jean carroll verdicts, about $88 million, if you put the two verdicts together. >> do you think it will hold up on appeal? >> i do. there is some chance it will get knocked down, certainly the punitive damages -- but it's hard to imagine it would get knocked out all that significantly. still we're talking about tens of millions of dollars. the attorney general is asking for 300 and $70 million --
9:26 pm
in discouragement of essentially all gotten gains. plus the penalties of him losing the ability to do business in new york state. that would have a profound impact in terms of his earning potential in the future and his ability to park money. so at some point, all of these penalties and consequences are going to impact him financially. >> i assume, in the civil fraud case, he has the ability to appeal? >> he does have the ability to appeal. but he has to be aware of the possibility he's going to have to pay that large, if it is in effect large amount. at some point, he has to be cognizant of that. as well as if he loses the ability to do business in the state. that's a profound economic consequence as well, no matter what the melanie penalty is. >> david, what could the impact of this civil fraud case? >> i think what you can expect that judge, he'll renew his removing donald business licenses --
9:27 pm
donald can't business in new york. he's going to have to change the ownership of those properties. he's probably gonna have to sell some properties, that might be done through that monitor to come up with a three. cash and of course assail under these circumstances is not going to be at the highest price. it's going to be much closer to a foreign sale price for his assets. furthermore, the document we just got from the court monitor -- it very clear that as i've been saying for years, there was a lot you don't see and trump's financial statements that raise questions about reality for his fiction, as we just saw with the supposed relationship between the judge and roberta kaplan that didn't exist. this is going to be very revealing about how much of a house of cards donald trump is in. >> thank you both. one more legal development to
9:28 pm
tell you about. the special prosecutor in the georgia election interference case against the former president and 18 others will not testify tomorrow -- likely going to be asked about allegations that have subtract the election case, and effort with d.a. fani willis who appointed him to the position. the former president and to codefendants have village a co--- conflict of interest and want the case to be dismissed. next, what president biden is saying about the drone attack in jordan that killed three americans and wounded many more. the possible retaliation, target, and timing. also, more on the israeli special forces raid undercover at a hospital on the west bank. how the team despised themselves and who they say they killed.
9:29 pm
9:30 pm
9:31 pm
9:32 pm
president biden was asked today whether he decided iraq bones to the drone attack that killed three american soldiers -- in jordan. his answer was yes. nothing more, which doesn't say much, but could also speak volumes. mj lee is at the white house. what more do we know about this response might look like and when? >> anderson, we know the president and his national security advisers have been weighing a number of, a range of options. we know from officials that the response was likely to be more serious and powerful than some of the strikes with previously seen in iraq and syria. and the president saying today he has made a decision on how to proceed. he says he was clear on who was
9:33 pm
responsible but he also had tested on what he wanted to avoid. >> i do hold them responsible for supplying the weapons. i don't think we need a wider war in the middle east. that's not what i'm looking for. >> this morning, the president did speak with the family members of the three american service members that were killed. and on a friday we're told he is going to attend the dignified transfer of the three peoples remains at dover air force base. we know that sergeants william referees, specialist kennedy centers, and specialist breonna moffatt will be coming home in a few days and the white house is saying the president with or to meet them. >> -- the footprints of an iranian-backed militia, what more are officials saying about that? >> the pentagon has says there is not been a final assessment on who was responsible for what happened over the weekend.
9:34 pm
but they did say it's deftly and iran-backed group. and there are the footprints of kataib hezbollah. but anderson, tonight the group has put out a statement saying it's going to its military operations against u.s. forces in the region. here is a part of that statement. it said, we are announcing the suspension of military and security operations against the occupation forces in order to prevent embarrassment to the iraqi government. gus type and goes on, the group will take some x of self-defense against any american hostilities and when the pentagon was asked about this, a spokesperson basically said, actions speak louder than words, the u.s. has been demanding these attacks stop for a number of months now. so they need to see exactly of those attacks will stop and that until then, the u.s. will continue to proceed and prepared to respond in a time and manner of the u.s. is choosing. anderson? >> and generally, thanks very much. this next report, which is graphics, some surveillance video of israeli special forces
9:35 pm
and discover -- infiltrating a hospital. three terrorists, more from nick robertson. >> reporter: a man in a dog was white lab coat and a surgical mask, a woman dressed and black work had job. and a third person carrying a wheelchair. spearhead a brazen israeli undercover forces operation in the west bank. veer weapons all tag, so indicative shootout with a symbolic lead terrorists, veal notoriety me. they move as a carefully coordinated assault team. as other operatives follow them in. a man in a brown coat and at what prayer had to rex another figure wearing blue scrubs. another team member in ten parents dips into a red backpack and on a black cat. meanwhile, another assault team enters lit by a man dressed in a woman's flowing black -- strides forward. past another person dressed in
9:36 pm
black forces a hospital worker to the floor. pulls his jacket off of them, pushes his head down, and uncovers it with a jacket. it looks like coordinated chaos. but aging out foot a disguised to get them inside the hospital. more members arrive, 12 total. felt last two apparently posing as a young couple, toting a baby carrier. although touching by the way he puts it down, a heavier load than a baby, likely backup ammo. the second female operative, posing as the baby's mother, take point on the corridor. aiming her weapon at anyone who might have discovered their complex routes. in less than a minute, they were gone. unclear if this is the beginning or the end of the operation. this room, they are likely objective. blood on the walls and on that putting, appearing to indicate killings took place here.
9:37 pm
a whole pella suggests a gunshot to the head. the idf say that rate was timely, targeting mohamad -- who quote plan to carry out a terror attack. and brothers muhammad and bezel -- who they claim more members of hamas and palestinian islamic jihad. that statement may not protect israel from accusations of war crimes, on a number of counts. including postings themselves off as medical personnel. something the idf often accuses hamas of doing in gaza. the hospital director, appearing to confirm the three were shot to get there, but gives no recent y all three were sleeping in the hospital. whole though bezel had been receiving treatment for a drone injury strike last year, and was partially paralyzed. they killed the three youth and their room, muhammad's --
9:38 pm

9:39 pm
about why these three alleged terrorists were all sleeping in a room in the hospital? >> no, we haven't been able to get any more on that, anderson. it often raise a question of if hospitals being used by militants, is it for a game for this sort of operation? technically under international law it isn't. it contravenes international humanitarian law to pose and medical professionals clothing. geneva convention's that are broken here, or appear to be broken at least, to kill that men, particularly one of them who may have been in the hospital receive medical treatment. that's against that geneva convention. and to kill him when that could have been, if they were sleeping and not fighting, back and didn't have weapons as their families say, been knots -- that also against the geneva convention and eventually constitutes a war crime. at the moment, it's an open question, wolf reverend a hospital. this video puts the israeli
9:40 pm
government and and invidious position. state department spokesman today did say that they would expect the idf and the forces here not to break into international humanitarian law. >> nic robertson, thank you. next, elon musk's new high tech invention has nothing to do with tesla, x, or spacex. it's another of his start-ups and is potentially a major medical achievement, but not without controversy. details from doctorates andre gupta are ahead.
9:41 pm
9:42 pm
9:43 pm
9:44 pm
elon musk -- forbes has a medical start-up that has been making a headlines. it just implanted its first chip in a human brain. the company says the goal of the medical trial as to see if it has the ability to control external devices such as a phone by using only thought. something which could benefit paralyzed patients. neuralink the company got fda approval for human clinical trial to study the safety and functionality of its chip. it is the chip there. cnn's sanjay gupta neurosurgeon himself joins us now. so talk to me about, this
9:45 pm
authentic, that will help significant is it, potentially and who would benefit the most? >> i mean, we have known this is going to be coming for sometime. they got fda approval back in the spring of last, year to start recruiting patients. typically these are patients who don't have motor function, anderson, because of quadriplegic, spinal cord injury, or something like a list. so all we know is what you said, is for the first patient now they have had this implanted in their brain. this isn't a study or anything. we don't know necessarily how well it is working. we have seen, trials primate trials where you have seen them being able to move a cursor for example. now that this is implanted in humans, they will basically see, can it accomplish the same thing for humans? >> how does the technology work? >> it is interesting, i think we showed an image of, this it is about the size of a quarter. you put up that image, it is hard to, tell it is not very big. it is basically got 64 threads,
9:46 pm
hair line really thin threads, those that on top of the brain. there's more than 1000 electrodes that are connected to those threats. so think about it like this, you are not moving, but you think move the cursor to the right or move the mouse and to the right. when you do that your brain gives off a specific bursts of electrical energy. after a while this device can read that, and say oh, the brain is saying move that closer to the right. it starts to develop a dictionary essentially of movement and can then take that electrical signal and translated to a mouse for example, or a smartphone. this is the first time for neuralink, not the first four other companies. i had a chance to talk to the founder of -- who's already been implanted this in. patients here is how he described it. >> what is a brain computer? >> if you can get a device that can detect and interact with
9:47 pm
brain activity which is all electrical signals then you can potentially restore that component of the brain. >> so again, this device reads the electrical signals that correlate with a certain movement. i will show you on this brain model here, right in this area of the brain, it is responsible for your movement. the right side, the left side, the left side responsible for the right side of the body. if the implant is sitting over here, right in that motor area, anderson, and it starts to learn this is the electrical pattern associated with a certain movement, it can start to make movements on devices in your environment, a mouse, pad a smartphone, whatever it might be. >> the brain it would seem to be incredibly sensitive, how dangerous is it to -- in the past. >> they did face some scrutiny in the past. i think some of their employees going back to december 2022
9:48 pm
worried it was movie going along to, quickly a and one of the pilots have died as well, i can tell you that the surgeons involved with this, they are some of the ones who are particularly expert at these types of operations. i think that is a team that will be probably implanting these. the biggest concern i think is infection, whenever you put a foreign body, and there is a risk of bleeding, there's things like that. the biggest thing i think really is, this is not a, study we do not know yet how this is going to work. this is just that they have done it, and so it is going to take some time to now in the future say is this actually accomplishing what people think it will. does it allow people with a list to -- sanjay, thank, you appreciate. it still to come, frustration and anger from families of hostages held in gaza, we will hear from some of the -- negotiations next.
9:49 pm
9:50 pm

new opportunity to make their voices heard. clarissa ward has more. >> reporter: in israel's parliament last week, anger boiling over. you will not sit here while they die there. -- -- was never political, now she as a regular here. pushing lawmakers to do whatever it takes to bring her 21 year old -- and the other 131 hostages home. we saw these incidents recently here at the knesset where family members were shouting at politicians. >> this is the frustration. you know, people when they are in fear and frustration, it is very difficult to be restrained. some of us may cry more, maybe you no clothes inside, some of
9:54 pm
us just need to shout it out. and you know, shouting is something that this can as it should be able to detain also, because it is still -- >> shelly's fighting as well, delivering a forceful rebuke to israel's war cabinet at a press conference last month. lucas in the eyes. it is our children, our families, she says. where are you? where are? you show these 21-year-old son -- was working as a waiter. saving money to travel the world, when he was abducted at the super nova music festival. >> he is sunshine, he is a boy that everybody wants to be near him. everybody loves him. he loves to love, he loves music, -- >> on saturday night, she
9:55 pm
attended a rally for the hostages, as she does every week, exhausted and frustrated. but undeterred in her quest to bring -- home. >> i don't know if you are a mother? >> i am. >> so try to imagine, try to imagine that your son went to a festival, he only went to a festival. you can call yourself now to ask him how he is. you know where your son is sleeping tonight. enoura. >> it must be agony. where are tired.
9:56 pm
but we are doing everything. it is our mission of our lives to bring my son back home. everybody must -- -- >> and do you feel that enough is being done? >> do you feel satisfied with the response? >> no, listen, my son is not at home, every day i'm getting into his room, and he is still not there. he was not sleeping in his bed. so if it is enough? now it is not enough. it is not enough. le pen >> 115 days into this nightmare, patience and time are running out. clarissa ward, cnn, jerusalem. >> and we will be right back.
